- A. Termination for Cause. The state may terminate the mentor-protégé agreement for cause based upon the failure of the mentor or protégé to comply with the terms and/or conditions of the agreement, provided that the state shall give the mentor or protégé written notice specifying the failure. If within 30 days after receipt of such notice, the mentor or protégé shall not have either corrected such failure or, in a case which cannot be corrected in 30 days, begun in good faith to correct said failure and thereafter proceeded diligently to complete such correction, then the state may, at its option, place the mentor or protégé in default and the agreement shall terminate on the date specified in such notice. The mentor or protégé may exercise any rights available to it under Louisiana law to terminate for cause upon the failure of the state to comply with the terms and conditions of the agreement; provided that the mentor or protégé shall give the state written notice specifying the state's failure and a reasonable opportunity for the state to cure the defect.
- B. Termination for Convenience. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time by giving 30 days written notice. The mentor shall be entitled to payment for deliverables in progress, to the extent work has been performed satisfactorily. The state may amend and/or terminate the agreement due to budgetary reductions or changes in funding priorities by the state upon giving 30 days written notice.
