　　(b) 不履约：违约方未能履行协议中自身的任何义务(除非该不履约行为是未能进行一批LNG 货品的交付或接收，且已在第5 或6 条中指定了唯一补救措施;除非该不履约行为是由于不可抗力或本总协议任何其他条款所引发)，且在非违约方对违约方做出通知后的3 个工作日内， 违约方仍未进行纠正。

　　Nonperformance: Failure by the Defaulting Party to perform any of its obligations under an Agreement (other than when such non-performance is a failure to deliver or accept a LNG Cargo for which the exclusive remedy is provided for in Sections 5 or 6, and other than when such non-performance is excused by Force Majeure or any other provision in this Master Agreement) which is not rectified within three (3) Business Days of such failure being notified to Defaulting Party by the Non-Defaulting Party.

　　material risk of all or substantially all of such Party's assets being so seized, compulsorily acquired, expropriated or nationalised.

　　13.2 违约事项的影响Consequences of an Event of Default
