The license term granted under a Sales Order (referred to therein as the “Subscription Period”) shall be as set forth in such Sales Order and if no such term is set forth, the license shall continue for the duration of 3 years (“Initial Term”). To avoid unintended service interruptions, at the end of the Initial Term, and at the end of each Renewal Term thereafter, the license term granted under each Sales Order shall automatically renew for an additional one (1) year term (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless either party shall provide written notice to the other party, not less than sixty (60) days prior to such date of expiration, of its election not to renew such license term. The Initial Term and each Renewal Term are collectively referred to as the “Term”.

Termination

 This Agreement may be terminated as follows: (i) by either party, at any time prior to the expiration of the then-current Term if the other party has committed a material breach of any of its obligations hereunder that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice; or (ii) by either party, by providing notice of nonrenewal the Agreement as set forth in Section 4.1 above.

Automatic Termination

This Agreement terminates automatically, with no further action by either party, if: (i) a receiver, manager, administrator, administrative receiver or similar figure under the law of any jurisdiction is appointed for either party or its property; (ii) either party proposes or is subject to a general assignment for the benefit of or compromise or arrangement with its creditors or any class of its creditors; (iii) any proceedings are commenced by, for, or against either party under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor’s relief law for the purpose of seeking a moratorium, rescheduling or reorganization of such party’s debts, and such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) calendar days of its commencement; (iv) either party is liquidated, wound up or dissolved; or (v) CUSTOMER breaches any obligation related to ASHLIN’s Intellectual Property rights which has not been cured within fourteen (14) days from written notice pertaining to such breach (or if incapable of being cured then immediately upon such written notice being given).
