4.5. Force Majeure.  The term “Force Majeure” means circumstances beyond the reasonable control of a party (such as acts of God, government restrictions, wars, insurrections, labor strife, or failure of suppliers, subcontractors, or carriers) which delay or prevent the party from performing under the terms of this Agreement.  The party affected by an event of Force Majeure will promptly notify the other of the circumstances and the expected impact on its performance.  Affected performance obligations will be suspended during the duration of the Force Majeure.  If the Force Majeure persists for more than 90 days, the other party may terminate the affected portions of this Agreement.
