(d) the other party takes any step or action in connection with its entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with its creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of its assets or ceasing to carry on business [or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction];

(e) the other party suspends, or threatens to suspend, or ceases or threatens to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of its business; or

(f) the other party's financial position deteriorates to such an extent that in the terminating party's opinion the other party's capability to adequately fulfil its obligations under this Contract has been placed in jeopardy.

13.4 The Customer may terminate the Contract for whatever reason (termination for convenience) by giving the Supplier at least 3 (three) months prior written notice (unless a shorter period is agreed) and such termination shall not affect the Customer’s obligation to pay for any Services to be performed up to the date of termination.

13.5 In the event of the Customer terminating this Contract in accordance with clause 13.4, the Customer shall be liable to pay to the Supplier an amount equal to the full price for the Services as set out in Schedule 3 for the unexpired term.
