This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 25.0 Force Majeure. The parties agree that in the event that the failure by either party to accomplish any action required hereunder within a specified time period ("Time Period") constitutes a default under the terms of this Agreement and, if any such failure is due to acts of God, acts of government authority (other than the City's own acts), acts of public enemy or war, riots, civil disturbances, power failure, shortages of labor or materials, injunction or other court proceedings beyond the control of such party, or severe adverse weather conditions ("Force Majeure Event"), then, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, that failure shall not constitute a default under this Agreement and any Time Period proscribed hereunder shall be extended by the amount of time that such party was unable to perform solely due to the Force Majeure Event. The extended Time Period shall be agreed to in writing by the parties and said Agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by either party.
