Assistance Period. Bathurst Metallic agrees to assume responsibility for Care and Maintenance Activities for Caribou Mine, Restigouche Mine and Halfmile Mine from the Minister starting on June 1, 2024, or upon the date a court order is issued vesting ownership of the Assets in Bathurst Metallic, whichever occurs later (the "Handover Date"). Immediately following the Handover Date, the Minister will provide assistance to Bathurst Metallic for a period of ten (10) Calendar Days (the "Assistance Period"), including the transfer of relevant information, knowledge transfer sessions, and on-site support to ensure a smooth transition. Both Parties agree to cooperate and collaborate in good faith during the Assistance Period to facilitate an orderly and effective handover.
Assistance Period. If Zale exercises the option granted in Section 15.(a), then the Term of this Agreement will be automatically extended by a period (the “Assistance Period”) of not more than six (6) months from the date of expiration, non-renewal or termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party will be entitled to pursue any other remedy, in law or in equity, available to it against the other including, without limitation, seeking damages for breach of any provision of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of the date upon which Zale exercises the option granted in Section 15.(a), Citi Commerce, Zale and the purchaser will agree on a closing date (the “Purchase Date”) for the purchase transaction, which will occur within such six (6) month Assistance Period. During the period commencing on the original termination or expiry date and ending on the later of (i) the Purchase Date, and (ii) the date (within the six (6) month Assistance Period) upon which Zale and the purchaser notify Citi Commerce that its assistance is no longer required, Citi Commerce will work with Zale and the purchaser to enable the Accounts and the related Receivables to be converted to the purchaser’s system. The Parties further agree that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both Parties, the closing of any of the transactions contemplated by this Section 15. will not occur during the period from November 1 of one year through March 1 of the following year, but to the extent it would otherwise have occurred during such period, they will occur instead on March 2.
