5.1 Purpose. This Section establishes a reasonable pre-estimate of Provider's actual damages upon Customer-initiated early termination, comprising (i) unrecovered onboarding and ramp costs, (ii) lost contribution margin on foregone work, and (iii) opportunity cost of reserved capacity. The parties agree these are genuine pre-estimates and not penalties. 5.2 Early Termination Compensation. If Customer terminates this Agreement or any SOW prior to completion for any reason other than Provider's uncured material breach (i.e., a termination for convenience under Section Termination-for-Convenience Section Reference), Customer will pay Provider a kill fee calculated as follows, in addition to all fees earned for Services already performed: (a) Termination before completion of Stage 1 (defined in the applicable SOW): Stage 1 Kill Fee % of Remaining Fees% of the total remaining unpaid SOW fees, reflecting that Provider has incurred full onboarding costs (strategy, account setup, tool provisioning, and personnel allocation) but recovered minimal revenue. (b) Termination after Stage 1 completion but before Stage 2 completion: Stage 2 Kill Fee % of Remaining Fees% of the total remaining unpaid SOW fees, reflecting partial but incomplete cost recovery. (c) Termination after Stage 2 completion: Stage 3 Kill Fee % of Remaining Fees% of the total remaining unpaid SOW fees, reflecting that a substantial portion of reserved capacity cannot be redeployed on short notice. (d) For month-to-month retainers without defined stages: a flat kill fee equal to Retainer Kill Fee (weeks of monthly fee) weeks of the then-current monthly retainer fee, representing Provider's documented average re-engagement cost and minimum re-deployment lead time. 5.3 Invoice and Payment. Provider will invoice the kill fee within Days to Issue Kill Fee Invoice business days of the effective termination date. The kill fee invoice is due and payable within 30 days of invoice date. Late payment accrues interest at the rate set forth in Section Late Payment Section Reference. 5.4 No Double Recovery. The kill fee is in lieu of, not in addition to, any lost-profit damages claim arising solely from the early termination. Provider retains all other remedies for separate breaches. 5.5 Reasonableness Documentation. Provider shall make available to Customer, upon written request, its standard onboarding cost schedule and personnel allocation records supporting the kill-fee percentages above, to facilitate enforcement if disputed.
