  3. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform its non-monetary obligations caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, civil unrest, pandemics, or governmental actions; provided, however, that nothing herein excuses timely payment of the Indebtedness.
