PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES
Grant Agreement
A Grant Agreement documents funding terms for projects or research initiatives. This playbook explores performance milestones, reporting requirements, and clawback conditions.
Termination & Exit Rights
Negotiation strategy
Ensure termination clauses include a reasonable notice period and no undue penalties. Advocate for clear definitions of material breach and fair cure periods.
Negotiate for break fees that reflect potential costs incurred. Ensure exit mechanisms allow for renegotiation in case of significant changes.
Essential elements
1
Termination for Convenience
Allows exit with notice.
2
Termination for Cause
Exit upon material breach.
3
Break Fees
Compensation for termination.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if notice periods are too short or penalties are excessive.
EDIT
