The term "Event of Force Majeure", as used herein, shall mean (i) an act of God or public enemy, fire, explosion, perils of the sea, lightning, earthquake, storm, flood, declared or undeclared war, revolution, insurrection, riot, act of piracy, act or threatened act of terrorism, sabotage, blockade, embargo, accident, epidemic, or quarantine; (ii) an action by a governmental authority which prevents or delays performance of our obligations hereunder; or (iii) a strike, lockout or other labor unrest resulting from any cause and whether or not the demands of the employees involved are reasonable or within our power to concede.
