         (ix)   If a manufacturer approved pursuant to subparagraph 12(b) shall
                engage in conduct, which conduct if engaged in by Licensee would
                entitle Licensor to terminate this Agreement; or

         (x)    If Licensee shall breach any other agreement in effect between
                Licensee on the one hand and Licensor or any other client of
                Licensor on the other.

     (b)  In the event any of these defaults occur, Licensor shall give notice
          of termination in writing to Licensee by certified mail. The Licensee
          shall have ten (10) days in which to correct any of these defaults
          (except subdivisions (vii) and (viii) above), and failing such, this
          Agreement shall terminate, and any and all payments then or later due
          from Licensee hereunder (including Guaranteed Consideration) shall
          then be promptly due and payable and no portion of prior payments
          shall be repayable to Licensee.

     Licensed Product(s), but may continue to distribute and sell its remaining
     inventory for a period not to exceed SIXTY (60) days following such
     termination or expiration, subject to payment of applicable royalties
     thereto. Licensor shall have the right to conduct a physical inventory in
     order to ascertain or verify such inventory and/or statement. In the event
     Licensee refuses to permit Licensor to conduct such physical inventory, the
     Licensee shall forfeit its right hereunder to dispose of such inventory. In
     addition to such forfeiture, Licensor shall have recourse to all other
     legal remedies available to it.
