Such Provider Indemnitee's failure to perform any obligations under this Section 9.2 will not relieve Customer of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that Customer demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such Provider Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

    3. Force Majeure. In no event will either party be liable or responsible to the other party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such party's reasonable control (a "Force Majeure Event"), including acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake or explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement, national or regional emergency, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, passage of Law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo, export or import restriction, quota or other restriction or prohibition or any complete or partial government shutdown, or national or regional shortage of adequate power or telecommunications or transportation.

    6. No Waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
