Service Suspension 8.1 By giving reasonable notice to you, or if this is not practicable, such notice as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, we may suspend the Service (or any part of the Service) for reasons to include but not limited to:
8.1.1 for operational reasons in accordance with the service levels, or
8.1.2 if required because of a regulatory or legal change, or
8.1.3 if we are obliged to comply with the order, instruction, or request of a court, government, agency, emergency service organisation, or other competent administrative or regulatory authority, requiring suspension to the Service, or
8.1.4 if your use of the Service may damage or disrupt the proper functioning of the infrastructure and / or equipment used to provide services to our other Customers, or
8.1.5 if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are in breach of your obligations, and you either fail to remedy that breach or fail to demonstrate to our reasonable satisfaction that no breach took place within two (2) Working Days of written notice of the suspected breach for a serious breach (serious breach to include, but not limited to, a breach likely to cause serious damage to us or our brand, or that of our contractors, or result in legal action by a third party) or within ten (10) Working Days of written notice of the suspected breach for other breach, or
8.1.6 if an undisputed invoice (or an undisputed part of an invoice) is not paid in full by the due date, provided that we have given you at least five (5) Working Days’ notice of such non- payment.
8.2 Suspension of the Service shall cause our service level obligations to be excluded for the period of the suspension. Such suspension of the Service shall continue for as long as any of the circumstances in Clauses 8 continues.
Covenant Suspension During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade ratings from at least two (2) Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”), the covenants specifically listed in Section 4.12, Section 4.13 , Section 4.15, Section 4.16 and Section 4.17 will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”), provided, however, that in no event with the covenant referenced in Section 4.15 cease to be applicable before January 1, 2030. In the event that the Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the Notes cease to have an Investment Grade rating from any two (2) Rating Agencies, then the Company and its Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to herein as the “Suspension Period”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or events occurring during a Suspension Period covered by the Suspended Covenants will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that:
(1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after the applicable Reversion Date, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though the covenant described under Section 4.12 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period;
(2) on the Reversion Date, any Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.13 or one of the clauses set forth in items (a) through (n) under Section 4.13 (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date), and to the extent such Indebtedness would not be permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.13, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (2) of Section 4.13; and
(3) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (iv) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under Section 4.15. On and after each Reversion Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any agreement or commitment entered into during the relevant Suspension Period, so long as such agreement or commitment and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period. The Issuer or the Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of any occurrence of a covenant suspension and in any event not later than five Business Days after the occurrence of such covenant suspension. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Issuer or the Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than five Business Days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade ratings. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, determine whether a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date has occurred or notify Holders of the same.
Post Suspension 1. Without prejudice to the procedures in Article 190 (Examination of the Benefit Suspension Level), if the Party complained against considers that it has eliminated the non-conformity that the Panel has found, it may provide written notice to the complaining Party with a description of how non-conformity has been removed. If the complaining Party has disagreement, it may refer the matter to the original Panel within 60 days after receipt of such written notice. Otherwise, the complaining Party shall promptly stop the suspension of benefits.
2. The Panel shall release its report within 60 days after the referral of the matter. If the Panel concludes that the Party complained against has eliminated the non-conformity, the complaining Party shall promptly stop the suspension of benefits.
Termination and Suspension Customer is entitled to suspend the performance of its obligations in whole or in part or terminate the Agreement with immediate effect, without prejudice to its right to claim damages and without any compensation to or indemnification of Supplier (i) in case Supplier has been declared bankrupt, is in a state of liquidation, has ceased or suspended whole or a substantial part of its business, is subject of a court order or preventative legal scheme of settlement, (ii) in case of non- compliance with the Compliance Requirements or the provisions of safety, health, environment and security or (iii) in case of not approved changes pursuant to article 10.

Debarment and Suspension A. The Contractor certifies by entering into this Contract that neither it nor its principals nor any of its subcontractors are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible or voluntarily excluded from entering into this Contract by any federal agency or by any department, agency or political subdivision of the State of Indiana. The term “principal” for purposes of this Contract means an officer, director, owner, partner, key employee or other person with primary management or supervisory responsibilities, or a person who has a critical influence on or substantive control over the operations of the Contractor.
B. The Contractor certifies that it has verified the state and federal suspension and debarment status for all subcontractors receiving funds under this Contract and shall be solely responsible for any recoupment, penalties or costs that might arise from use of a suspended or debarred subcontractor. The Contractor shall immediately notify the State if any subcontractor becomes debarred or suspended, and shall, at the State’s request, take all steps required by the State to terminate its contractual relationship with the subcontractor for work to be performed under this Contract.
Debarment/Suspension Contractor is prohibited from making any award or permitting any award at any tier to any party which is debarred or suspended or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in federal assistance programs under Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension. Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with the Certification Requirements for Recipients of Grants and Cooperative Agreements Regarding Debarments and Suspensions.
Revocation of Suspension 22.3.1 In the event that the Authority shall have rectified or removed the cause of Suspension within a period not exceeding 60 (sixty) days from the date of Suspension, it shall revoke the Suspension forthwith and restore all rights of the Contractor under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties expressly agree that the Authority may, in its discretion, revoke the Suspension at any time, whether or not the cause of Suspension has been rectified or removed hereunder.
22.3.2 Upon the Contractor having cured the Contractor Default within a period not exceeding 60 (sixty) days from the date of Suspension, the Authority shall revoke the Suspension forthwith and restore all rights of the Contractor under this Agreement.
Suspension Period (a) The Company may suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of a Registration Statement for up to 30 consecutive days (or such shorter period as the Company determines in good faith is necessary under the circumstances, with extensions beyond such shorter period up to the 30-day maximum as may be required after consultation with counsel) from the date of the Suspension Notice (as defined below) in any given 12-month period, and therefore suspend sales of Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such Registration Statement (such period, the “Suspension Period”) by providing written notice to each Holder if the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such suspension is in the best interests of the Company.
(b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Registration Statement as set forth in Section 3(a) above (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall promptly give a written notice to the Holders (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities (but shall not contain any material non-public information concerning the Company) and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event is continuing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing will not prohibit the Holder from trading in the Registrable Securities solely by virtue of having received a Suspension Notice and the information contained therein. A Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.
