Article 10 Exit from and termination of the contractual arrangements

This article closes out the lifecycle requirements for contractual arrangements introduced in Article 4 by addressing the exit phase.

It requires that the policy includes documented exit plans for each contractual arrangement, and that those plans are periodically reviewed and tested.

The article also sets out the quality standards an exit plan must meet, ensuring that plans are grounded in reality rather than being purely theoretical exercises.

Important points:

• Include a documented exit plan for each contractual arrangement within the policy, covering scenarios such as service interruptions, failed delivery, and unexpected termination.
• Periodically review and test each documented exit plan.
• Each exit plan must be realistic, feasible, based on plausible scenarios and reasonable assumptions, and include an implementation schedule compatible with the exit and termination terms in the contractual arrangements.
