period of the event of Force Majeure and the Guaranteed Volume for such
period shall be reduced by the amount Purchaser used during such event
of Force Majeure.
(e) If, as a result of an event of Force Majeure it is not foreseeable that
Supplier or any member of its Group will be able to recommence the
