necessity of complying with any governmental or judicial rule or order; and any

other causes, whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, whether

diligence such party is unable to prevent or overcome; such term shall likewise

include the inability of either party to acquire, or delays on the part of such party

in acquiring at reasonable cost and by the exercise of reasonable diligence,
