the supplier’s prudent and reasonable restrictions on extensions of credit to the dealer;

(2)

a business decision by the supplier to limit the production volume of the equipment; or

an act of nature, work stoppage or delay due to a strike or labor difficulty, a bona fide shortage of materials, freight embargo, or other cause over which the supplier has no control.
