7.2.1 If Reseller fails to pay any amount when due under this Agreement (“Payment Failure”) and the failure continues for ninety (90) days after Reseller’s receipt of any invoice which states Reseller’s obligation to pay such amount;
7.2.2 If within any period of two (2) months, two (2) or more Payment Failures occur;

The Parties agree that breaches of Section 5.5 cannot be cured;
7.2.4 If Reseller is dissolved or liquidated or takes any corporate action for such purpose, becomes insolvent or files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or under any other insolvency Law, makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver or custodian for a substantial part of its property, or is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due;

7.2.6 If Reseller violates Supplier’s MAP policy as set forth Section 6.1 above.
Any termination under this Section 7.2 shall be effective on Reseller’s receipt of Supplier’s written Notice of termination or any later date set out in the Notice.
7.3 Right to Terminate Without Cause. Either Party may terminate without cause.
7.4 Effect of Termination. The termination of the Term does not affect any rights or obligations that were incurred by the Parties prior to the termination. Upon termination, all indebtedness of Reseller to Supplier of any kind is immediately due and payable on the effective date of the Term’s termination without further Notice to Reseller. Any Notice of termination under this Agreement automatically operates as a cancellation of any deliveries of Products to Reseller scheduled to be made after the effective date of termination, whether or not any orders for the Products had been accepted by Supplier. Regarding any Products that are still in transit on termination of this Agreement, Supplier may require, in its sole discretion, that all sales and deliveries of the Products be made on either a cash-only or certified check basis. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Reseller shall cease to represent itself as Supplier’s authorized reseller regarding the Products, and shall otherwise desist from all conduct or representations that might lead the public to believe Reseller is authorized by Supplier to sell the Products. Upon termination, Reseller shall return any Supplier-branded marketing and/or advertising materials
