Early Termination and Breach of Agreement (a) The Corporate Taxpayer may terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable to the ITR Entity at any time by paying to the ITR Entity the Early Termination Payment; provided, that the Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporate Taxpayer, neither the ITR Entity nor the Corporate Taxpayer shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any (a) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and the ITR Entity as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (b) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in this clause (b) is included in the Early Termination Payment).
(b) In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and the ITR Entity as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach with respect to any Taxable Year prior to the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach, and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach but reduced by any amount with respect to the portion of such Taxable Year beginning after the date of such breach taken into account for purposes of determining the amount due under clause (1) of this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches this Agreement, the ITR Entity shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer has insufficient funds to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any credit agreement to which the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by LIBOR plus 000 xxxxx xxxxxx).
