(iii) suspend the Augmentation Process at any time or the further participation of any Proponent or any Proponent Associate in the Augmentation Process;

(v) adopt different procedures for, or methods of, evaluation, negotiation, discussion or engagement with the Proponents and may alter these procedures and methods at any time;
(vi) impose additional obligations on any Proponent or any Proponent Associate if the State reasonably determines that those additional obligations are necessary or desirable to ensure (or to ensure the perception of) confidentiality, competitiveness or probity with respect to the Augmentation Process or the Augmentation, and the Proponents and Proponent Associates (as applicable) must comply with those obligations; and
(vii) take such other action as it deems fit in relation to the Augmentation Process.
