===Incorporating Force Majeure into the {{1992ma}}===
On the subject of incorporating Force Majeure into the 1992 Master:
 
No problem including the concept but it then has to be carried through to its logical conclusion i.e.:
*hierachy of events,
*impact re deferral of Early Termination Amount etc.
The concept also impacts basis of Close Out because the 2002 requires use of true mids for valuation i.e, not the mean of each party's view of the bid/offer where a force majeure event (or illegality) occurs, which is what you effectively get under the 1992 "two affected parties" option.
