Excusable Delay The parties shall not be obligated to perform and shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder, if the performance of a non-monetary obligation required hereunder is prevented by the occurrence of any of the following, other than as the result of the financial inability of the party obligated to perform: acts of God, strikes, lock-outs, other industrial disturbances, acts of a public enemy, war or war-like action (whether actual, impending or expected and whether de jure or de facto), acts of terrorists, arrest or other restraint of government (civil or military), blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, storms, floods, washouts, sink holes, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage or accident to equipment or machinery, confiscation or seizure by any government or public authority, nuclear reaction or radiation, radioactive contamination or other causes, whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, that are not reasonably within the control of the party claiming the right to delay performance on account of such occurrence.
Excusable Delays Except with respect to defaults of subproviders, the Engineer shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure to progress in the performance of the work) if such failure arises out of causes beyond the control and without the default or negligence of the Engineer. Such causes may include, but are not restricted to, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather.
Unavoidable Delay When construction is impeded as a result of strikes, lockouts, acts of God or other factors beyond the control, and ability to remedy, of the Developer.
Force Majeure, Notice of Delay, and No Damages for Delay The Contractor will not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the negligence of the Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents contributed to the delay and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar cause wholly beyond the Contractor’s control, or for any of the foregoing that affect suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to the Contractor. In case of any delay the Contractor believes is excusable, the Contractor shall notify the Department in writing of the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either (i) within ten (10) calendar days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first arose, if the Contractor could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result; or (ii) if a delay is not reasonably foreseeable, within five (5) calendar days after the date the Contractor first had reason to believe that a delay could result. THE FOREGOING WILL CONSTITUTE THE CONTRACTOR’S SOLE REMEDY OR EXCUSE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DELAY except if such delay is caused by the fraud, bad faith, or active interference of the Department. Providing notice in strict accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy, and a rebuttable presumption of prejudice will exist based on Contractor’s untimely notice. The Contractor shall not assert any claim for damages related to such delay. The Contractor will not be entitled to an increase in the Term Contract price or payment of any kind from the Department for direct, indirect, consequential, impact, or other costs, expenses, or damages, including costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If performance is suspended or delayed, in whole or in part, due to any of the causes described in this subsection, the Department may unilaterally (and with no recourse on the part of the Contractor) identify and use an alternate source to complete any work under the Term Contract as the Department deems necessary, in its sole discretion. After the causes have ceased to exist, the Contractor shall perform at no increased cost, unless the Department determines, in its sole discretion, that the delay will significantly impair the value of the Contract to the Department or State, in which case the Department may (i) accept allocated performance or deliveries from the Contractor, provided that the Contractor grants preferential treatment to the Department with respect to Products subjected to allocation; or (ii) terminate the Term Contract in whole or in part.
Tenant Delay Except as otherwise provided in the Lease, Delivery of the Premises shall occur when Landlord’s Work has been Substantially Completed, except to the extent that completion of Landlord’s Work shall have been actually delayed by any one or more of the following causes (“Tenant Delay”): (i) Tenant’s Representative was not available to give or receive any Communication or to take any other action required to be taken by Tenant hereunder within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 2 business days) after written request from Landlord; (ii) Tenant’s request for changes to the Building Shell, whether or not such changes are actually performed; (iii) The construction of any changes to the Building Shell requested by Tenant and agreed upon by Landlord; (iv) Tenant’s request for Change Requests (as defined in Section 4(a) below) whether or not any such Change Requests are actually performed; (v) Construction of any Change Requests; (vi) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations requiring unusually long lead times (provided Landlord will request that the General Contractor inform Tenant of any long lead time items and identify substitutes for such items as soon as reasonably possible); (vii) Tenant’s delay in reviewing, revising or approving plans and specifications beyond the periods set forth herein; (viii) Tenant’s delay in providing any information that is reasonably required to come from Tenant which is critical to the normal progression of the Project within a reasonable period of time after request. Tenant shall provide such information as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event longer than one week after receipt of any request for such information from Landlord; (ix) Tenant’s delay in making payments to Landlord for Excess TI Costs (as defined in Section 5(d) below) for more than 10 business days after such Excess TI Costs are required to be paid to Landlord; or (x) Any other act or omission by Tenant or any Tenant Party (as defined in the Lease), or persons employed by any of such persons that continues for more than 1 business day after Landlord’s notice thereof to Tenant. If Delivery is delayed for any of the foregoing reasons, then Landlord shall cause the TI Architect to certify the date on which the Tenant Improvements would have been Substantially Completed but for such Tenant Delay and such certified date shall be deemed to be the Commencement Date for purposes of Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent, Operating Expenses, Excess TI Costs and TI Rent; however, Tenant will not have any obligation to pay any amounts to third parties pursuant to the Lease (and will not occupy the Premises) until the date upon which the Premises is Delivered to Tenant with the Landlord’s Work Substantially Complete. Upon request, Landlord shall advise Tenant of any materials, finishes or installations which are required as part of any Change Request that will result in unusually long lead times.
