obligation, responsibilities, and duties of the Parties under this Consent Judgment.

27. Execution in Counterparts. The Consent Judgment may be executed in 

one or more counterparts which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the

35. Force Majeure/Impossibility of Performance: A force majeure event is 

any event outside the reasonable control of a Party that causes a delay in performing 

actions required by this Agreement that cannot be cured by due diligence. Delay in 

performance of an action required by this Agreement caused by a force majeure event is 

not a failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, provided that as soon as 

reasonably possible, but in any event no later than fifteen days after the occurrence of the

Party will take to perform the action, and the projected time that will be needed to 

complete the action (“Force Majeure Notification”). The Parties agree to meet and confer 

in good faith concerning the Force Majeure Notification. The affected Party shall have 

the burden of establishing that it could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, and 

which by exercise of due diligence has been unable to overcome, the event. If that 

burden is met, the time for performance of the task shall be extended for a reasonable 

period of time following the force majeure event. If a dispute arises under this paragraph, 

each Party shall have the right to seek enforcement of this Consent Judgment. By way of 

example and not limitation, force majeure events include: 

a. Acts of God, war, insurrection, or civil disturbance; 

b. Earthquakes, landslides, fire, floods; 

c. Unusually adverse weather conditions;

d. Restraint by court order or order of public authority; and

e. Actions or inactions of regulatory or permitting agencies over which the 

affected Party has no control, and no action of the affected Party 

contributed to the agency’s action or inaction.

36. Negotiated Consent Judgment. The Parties have negotiated this Consent 

Judgment, and agree that it shall not be construed against the party preparing it, but shall 

be construed as if the Parties jointly prepared this Consent Judgment, and any uncertainty
