[Area 4] CCWG4...clarification.

[Eric Brunner-Williams]

Rudolph,

Your first item may be generalized as existence of a set of expectations 
for the purposes of a hypothetical contingency or scenario in which one 
or more of those expectations is not met -- some form of failure or 
under-performance.

Your second item mentions "breach", which is a transitory phenomena -- a 
breach (of contract or agreement, a failure or under-performance) which 
may be remedied in the proximal future, and I think you're looking for 
something along the lines of permanent closure by the Corporation.
