within a reasonable time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved

In the event the Redeveloper fails to perform any other provisions of this
Redevelopment Contract (other than those specific provisions contained in Section 6.02), the

ofthis Redevelopment Contract or exercise any other remedies that may be provided in this

this Section shall not give rise to a right or rescission or termination of this Redevelopment
Contract, and shall not be covered by the Liquidated Damages Amount.

obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence,
including, but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the Government, acts
ofthe other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and
unusually severe weather or delays in subcontractors due to such causes; it being the purpose and
intent of this provision that in the event of the occurrence of any such enforced delay, the time or
times for performance of the obligations of the Authority or of the Redeveloper with respect to
construction of the Project, as the case may be, shall be extended for the period ofthe enforced
