Independence from Material Breach Determination Except as set forth in Section X.D.1.c, these provisions for payment of Stipulated Penalties shall not affect or otherwise set a standard for OIG’s decision that CCH has materially breached this CIA, which decision shall be made at OIG’s discretion and shall be governed by the provisions in Section X.D, below.
Termination After Change of Control In the event that, before the expiration of the TERM and in connection with or within one year of a CHANGE OF CONTROL (as defined hereinafter) of either one of the EMPLOYERS, (A) the employment of the EMPLOYEE is terminated for any reason other than JUST CAUSE before the expiration of the TERM, (B) the present capacity or circumstances in which the EMPLOYEE is employed is changed before the expiration of the TERM, or (C) the EMPLOYEE's responsibilities, authority, compensation or other benefits provided under this AGREEMENT are materially reduced, then the following shall occur:
(I) The EMPLOYERS shall promptly pay to the EMPLOYEE or to his beneficiaries, dependents or estate an amount equal to the sum of (1) the amount of compensation to which the EMPLOYEE would be entitled for the remainder of the TERM under this AGREEMENT, plus (2) the difference between (x) the product of three, multiplied by the total compensation paid to the EMPLOYEE for the immediately preceding calendar year as set forth on the Form W-2 of the EMPLOYEE, less (xx) the amount paid to the EMPLOYEE pursuant to clause (1) of this subparagraph (I);
(II) The EMPLOYEE, his dependents, beneficiaries and estate shall continue to be covered under all BENEFIT PLANS of the EMPLOYERS at the EMPLOYERS' expense as if the EMPLOYEE were still employed under this AGREEMENT until the earliest of the expiration of the TERM or the date on which the EMPLOYEE is included in another employer's benefit plans as a full-time employee; and
(III) The EMPLOYEE shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this AGREEMENT by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall any amounts received from other employment or otherwise by the EMPLOYEE offset in any manner the obligations of the EMPLOYERS thereunder, except as specifically stated in subparagraph (II). In the event that payments pursuant to this subsection (ii) would result in the imposition of a penalty tax pursuant to Section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as "SECTION 280G"), such payments shall be reduced to the maximum amount which may be paid under SECTION 280G without exceeding such limits.
Termination for Material Breach If either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) believes that the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached one or more of its obligations under this Agreement, then the Non-Breaching Party may deliver notice of such material breach to the Breaching Party specifying the nature of the alleged breach in reasonable detail (a “Default Notice”). Thereafter, the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the breach asserted in such Default Notice has not been cured within sixty (60) days after such Default Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if such material breach, by its nature, cannot be remedied within such sixty (60) day cure period, but can be remedied over a longer period not expected to exceed one hundred and fifty (150) days, then such sixty (60) day period shall be extended for up to an additional ninety (90) days provided that the Breaching Party provides the Non-Breaching Party with a reasonable written plan for curing such material breach and uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such material breach in accordance with such written plan and (ii) if such material breach cannot be cured, but the effects of such material breach are not such that the Non-Breaching Party would be deprived of the material benefits the Non-Breaching Party would reasonably be expected to derive from this Agreement in the absence of such material breach, then the Non-Breaching Party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement on the basis of such material breach unless the Breaching Party has previously committed a substantially similar material breach of this Agreement. For clarity, a breach of Section 3.2.3 of this Agreement shall not, notwithstanding anything herein, fall within the exception in subpart (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.
Termination upon Material Breach Material failure by a Party to comply with any of its obligations contained herein shall entitle the Party not in default to give to the Party in default written notice (a “Default Notice”) specifying the nature of the default in reasonable detail, requiring such defaulting Party to make good or otherwise cure such default, and stating the non-defaulting Party’s intention to terminate this Amended and Restated Research Agreement if such default is not cured. If such default is not cured within sixty (60) days after the date the Default Notice was sent, then the Party not in default shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights conferred on it by this Amended and Restated Research Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Amended and Restated Research Agreement by written notice of termination to the defaulting Party; provided, however, that if the Party receiving such Default Notice (the “Disputing Party”) has a reasonable basis for disputing that it is in default and such Party provides written notice thereof to the other Party before the expiration of such sixty (60) day cure period, then the Disputing Party shall have the right, prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, to submit such dispute for resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.7; provided further that in the event that as a result of such resolution, the Disputing Party is found to be in default and such default is not cured within forty-five (45) days after the date of such resolution, then the Party not in default shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights conferred on it by this Amended and Restated Research Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Amended and Restated Research Agreement by written notice of termination to the Disputing Party.
BREACH; TERMINATION Customer/Project Sponsor may terminate this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion by providing notice to the Company not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days before such termination. In the event of breach of any material terms or conditions of this Agreement, if the breach has not been remedied within 30 days following receipt of written notice thereof from the other Party (provided that, if the breaching Party has commenced and is diligently pursuing efforts to cure such breach, then such 30-day period shall be extended until the earlier of (i) 30 additional days or (ii) end of diligent efforts to cure the breach), then the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by written notice at any time until cure of such breach occurs. In the event of any proceedings by or against either Party in bankruptcy, insolvency or for appointment of any receiver or trustee or any general assignment for the benefit of creditors (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, an assignment in accordance with Article XI or other collateral assignment to obtain project financing), the other Party may terminate this Agreement. If the Customer/Project Sponsor increases the capability or the capacity of the Facility to exceed 4.999 MW, this Agreement shall immediately terminate. The Company shall not be liable to the Customer/Project Sponsor for damages resulting from a termination pursuant to this paragraph. If the Customer/Project Sponsor's generating equipment produces zero (0) kilowatt- hours during any period of twelve (12) consecutive Billing Periods after the Commercial Operation Date [Effective Date for existing resources] for a reason other than a force majeure event, the Company may terminate this Agreement.
