Declaration of Early Termination Date and Calculation of Settlement Amounts. If an Event of Default with respect to a Defaulting Party shall have occurred and be continuing, the other Party (“Non-Defaulting Party”) shall have the right to (i) designate a day, no earlier than the day such notice is effective and no later than 20 days after such notice is effective, as an early termination date (“Early Termination Date”) to accelerate all amounts owing between the Parties and to liquidate and terminate the Transaction (“Terminated Transaction”) between the Parties, (ii) withhold any payments due to the Defaulting Party under this Agreement and (iii) suspend performance. The Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate, in a commercially reasonable manner, a Settlement Amount for the Terminated Transaction as of the Early Termination Date. Third parties supplying information for purposes of the calculation of Gains or Losses may include, without limitation, dealers in the relevant markets, end-users of the relevant product, information vendors and other sources of market information. If the Non-Defaulting Party uses the market price for a comparable transaction to determine the Gains or Loses, such price should be determined by using the average of market quotations provided by five or more bona fide unaffiliated market participants. If five or more quotes are obtained, the high and low quotations shall be excluded and a simple average of the other three quotations shall be used for this purpose. If the number of available quotes is 3, then the average of the 3 quotes shall be deemed to be the market price. Where a quote is in the form of bid and ask prices, the price that is used in the averaging is the midpoint between the bid and ask price. The quotes obtained shall be for: (a) a like amount, (b) of the same Product, (c) at the same Delivery Point, and (d) for the remaining Delivery Term, or in any other commercially reasonable manner. The Gains and Losses shall be calculated as the difference, plus or minus, between the economic value of the remaining Delivery Term of the Terminated Transaction and the equivalent quantities and relevant market prices for the same term that either are quoted by a bona fide market participant, as provided above, or which are reasonably expected to be available in the market for a replacement contract for the Transaction. The Settlement Amount shall not include consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary, indirect or business interruption damages. The Non-Defaulting Party shall not have to enter into replacement transactions to establish a Settlement Amount.
