Lack of finances or a mere failure to have adequate and suitable equipment, material, labor forces, or other facilities available to perform shall not constitute a Force Majeure Event.
Any party experiencing a Force Majeure Event shall give as prompt notice as is possible under the circumstances. In the case of such Force Majeure Event, the time for the performance required by a party under this Agreement will be extended by the length of any period during which performance is prevented by the Force Majeure Event.
