earlier than one (1) business day after the date of TENANT’s receipt of such notice. If LANDLORD terminates this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, Alliance Coal shall be deemed to be in material breach of the Coal Supply
Agreement as of the date of such termination and LANDLORD may with respect to the Coal Supply Agreement exercise all remedies available to it at law, in equity or under the Coal Supply Agreement. Termination pursuant to the provisions of this

Agreement shall be modified but only to the extent necessary to comply with such regulations. Any provisions of this Agreement not subject to regulation shall remain in full force and effect.

under this Agreement, Virginia Power may, by written notice to Mettiki, immediately terminate this Agreement without obligation or liability to Mettiki, except for obligations and liabilities arising from any prior performance or breach of this
Agreement. Such termination shall be effective upon the date specified in Virginia Power’s notice, but in no event earlier than Mettiki’s receipt of Virginia Power’s notice or if permitted by said court, governmental or regulatory

disclosure is made on a confidential basis. 
  
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, state and federal regulatory agencies may require either party to this Agreement to routinely report to such agencies certain overall cost and physical property information related to this Agreement. A party may make such report as
