16.4.1  Entitlement

(a)  If the Relief Event occurs during the operating term, Relief will only be granted to the extent that the private party can demonstrate to government's reasonable satisfaction that it is prevented from, or delayed, in providing the Contracted Services as a direct result of the Relief Event and is otherwise complying with its contractual obligations.

(b)  To the extent the Relief Event affects the private party's ability to deliver the Contracted Services (and other threshold requirements are met), the private party's obligation to deliver the affected Contracted Services will be suspended and no default notice may be given in respect of such Service Failure.

(c)  Government may grant relief from the private party's other obligations as is reasonable given the nature of the Relief Event. This includes the obligation to provide temporary measures. Where the Relief Event prevents the cure of a default within the specified cure period, the cure period will be extended by a reasonable time period given the effect of the Relief Event.
