Dear Ken:
The purpose of this correspondence is to notify you of that SORTA is considering
terminating the above contract between SORTA and Transdev Services, Inc. pursuant to
Seciton 2.28 due to Transdevs breach thereunder. This letter identifies the specific
breaches of Transdev, advises you of the cure period and notifies you of SORTAs action
regarding non-compliant work.

You are hereby notified that Transdev has failed to perform its services in compliance
with the contract. Therefore, unless these breaches are cured within 90 days after

of contract 43-14.
Transdevs failures that have necessitated this notice include:

order is to ensure that all scope requirements in SORTA contract 43-14 are being met

Services a plan of actions with specific timelines for how Transdev will remedy
performance. This plan should be submitted no later than close of business December
