Notwithstanding this, each Party acknowledges and recognizes that the damage to the non-defaulting Party could be significant. In the event of such default, or the making of a Cover Payment, as reasonable liquidated damagesdamages and not as a penalty, the non-defaulting Participant Party may, with respect to any such default not cured within 30 sixty (60) days after notice to the defaulting Participant Party of such default, elect one of the following remedies by giving notice to the defaulting ParticipantParty: (1i) For a default relating exclusively to a an Exploration Program and corresponding Budget, the non-defaulting Participant Party may elect to have the defaulting Participant’s Party's Participating Interest permanently reduced as provided in Section 6.3Subsection 8.3(b), then and further reduced by multiplying the result by 90%. Amounts previously treated as a loan pursuant to Subsection 8.4(a) and interest thereon shall be treated as actual contributions to Programs and Budgets by the extent non-defaulting Party in the other Participant makes up calculation of the defaulting Participant’s shortfall, the funding Participant’s account shall be credited with three times the amount covered, and twice the amount of covered default shall be deducted from the defaulting Participant’s account. In other words, in addition to being credited for the amount actually funded, twice that amount shall be transferred from the defaulting Participant’s account to the funding Participant’s accountParty's reduced Participating Interest. The non-defaulting Participant’s Participating Interest shall, at such time, become the difference between 100% and the further reduced Party's Participating Interest shall, at such time, become the difference between 100% and the further reduced Participating Interest. Such reductions shall be effective as of the date of the default.; and (2ii) For a default relating to a Development Program or Mining Program and Budget covering in whole or in part Development or Miningcorresponding Budget, at the non-defaulting Participant’s Party's election, the defaulting Participant Party shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Joint Venture and to have automatically relinquished its Participating Interest to the non-defaulting Participant; provided, however, the defaulting Participant shall have the right to receive only from 3% of the Net Milling Returns, if any, and not from any other source, an amount equal to the defaulting Participant’s Initial contribution pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.5. Upon receipt of such amount the defaulting Participant shall thereafter have no further right title or interest in Assets or under this Agreementaccordance with Section 14.2.
