The written notice describing the alleged material breach shall provide sufficient detail to put the Breaching Party on notice of such material breach. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the Breaching Party has cured any such material breach prior to the expiration of such Cure Period; provided that in the event a claim of material breach is being contested diligently and in good faith by appropriate proceedings hereunder, any termination pursuant to this Section shall not become effective unless and until such material breach has been established in such proceedings and, in the event that, following such establishment, a cure may then be accomplished by the payment of money or the taking of certain actions, such payment or actions are not paid or taken within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of such proceedings.
