Prior to taking any action that will materially diminish its ability to provide the PEG 1 Services as contemplated under this Agreement, PEG 1 will provide PEG Inc. and PEG 2 with advance written notice of such anticipated action. PEG Inc. and PEG 2 shall then have a period of 30 days to deliver a written response to PEG 1, either consenting to such action or stating that such action may only be taken following a notice period of six (6) months.

Following notice to PEG 1 by PEG Inc. or PEG 2, as applicable, notifying PEG 1 of its failure to provide such sufficient resources and services, PEG 1 shall have a period of thirty (30) days to cure any such failure; provided, however, that if the fact, circumstance or condition that is the subject of such failure cannot reasonably be remedied within such 30-day period and if, within such period, PEG 1 provides reasonable evidence to PEG Inc. and PEG 2 that it has commenced, and thereafter proceeds with reasonable due diligence, to remedy such failure, such period shall be extended for a reasonable period satisfactory to PEG Inc. and PEG 2, acting reasonably, for PEG 1 to remedy the same. Following such period, in the event that PEG 1 has not cured such failure (unless such failure is a result of the PEG 2 Board of Directors or the PEG LP Board of Directors not providing approval to fund such increased resources and services) (a “PEG 1 Services Failure”) then, except any time following a PEG 2 Transition, PEG 1 Employee Reintegration, or PEG 2 Employee Reintegration, PEG 2 shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (A) cause PEG 1 to hire additional development personnel, or (B) initiate a wind-down of PEG 2 in accordance with the terms of the PEG 2 LPA; provided that PEG Inc. shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to effect a PEG 1 Employee Reintegration following a PEG 1 Services Failure prior to PEG 2 having such right to initiate a wind-down of PEG 2.
