From LancasterOnline
Russ Urban, the president of High Hotels, has long been intrigued by renewable energy sources such as solar power.
But there’s a problem with trying to meet a hotel’s energy needs entirely by using solar power — the typical hotel roof is too small to hold all the solar panels required.

Almost all transaction documents have a provision or two requiring a party to exercise an effort to achieve an end. Sometimes the provision requires the party to exercise “best efforts” to do so. Sometimes the effort required is “reasonable efforts.” If the parties to the document are business entities, it is common to see the effort described as “commercially reasonable.” Are these efforts different? Is there an ascending level of these efforts? Does it matter which words are used to describe the efforts?
