6.         Minimum Advertised Price

6.1       Reseller Agreement / Minimum Advertised Price.  Supplier currently has a Minimum Advertised Price ("MAP") policy that is issued separately from this Agreement and may be changed from time to time at the sole discretion of the Supplier. Supplier reserves the right to terminate this Agreement unilaterally at any time for violation of its MAP policy by giving written Notice to Reseller. Reseller's agreement with Supplier's MAP policy is not solicited nor will it be accepted as a condition of this Agreement.

7.         Term

7.1       Initial Term.  The Term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues indefinitely, unless or until terminated as provided under this Agreement (the "Initial Term").

7.2       Supplier's Right to Terminate for Cause.  Supplier may terminate this Agreement by providing written Notice to Reseller:

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;

7.2.3    If Reseller breaches any provision of this Agreement (other than a Payment Failure), and either the breach cannot be cured or, if the breach can be cured, it is not cured by Reseller within ten (10) days after Reseller’s receipt of written Notice of the breach. 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;

7.2.5    If Reseller sells, leases, exchanges, transfers, or disposes of a material portion of Reseller’s assets; merges or consolidates with or into any other entity, unless the surviving entity has a net worth greater than or equal to Reseller’s net worth immediately before the merger or consolidation; or undergoes a change of Control, in any case without Supplier’s prior written consent.

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.

8.         Confidentiality

8.1       Protection of Confidential Information.  From time to time during the Term, either Party (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available to the other Party (as the “Receiving Party”) information about its business affairs, goods and services, confidential information and materials comprising or relating to Intellectual Property Rights, trade secrets, third-party confidential information and other sensitive or proprietary information, as well as the terms of this Agreement, whether orally or in written, electronic or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential” (collectively, “Confidential Information”).  Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure:
