ARTICLE IX

FORCE MAJEURE, EXCUSE, AND BREACH

9.1                               Force Majeure.

(a)                                 In the event a Party is rendered unable to carry out in whole or in part its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligations to make payments of monies due under this Agreement or a Sponsor Coal Supply Agreement, by reason of Force Majeure, including any event of Force Majeure declared by a third party (a “Third Party Force Majeure”), then such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall, insofar as they are affected by such Force Majeure or Third Party Force Majeure, be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused but for no longer period; and such cause shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch; provided, however, in the event of a Third Party Force Majeure, it is expressly recognized and agreed that no Party shall have any obligation to remedy or cause its affiliate to remedy any Third Party Force Majeure.  In the event a Party asserts the occurrence of Force Majeure or Third Party Force Majeure, such Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of said Force Majeure or Third Party Force Majeure, give notice in writing to the other Party of the full particulars of such Force Majeure or Third Party Force Majeure, the determination of the cause relied upon, and the anticipated duration if reasonably predictable.
