2. becomes bankrupt, insolvent or goes into liquidation or debt restructuring.

8.2. Suspension of Rights. Instead of termination, The Qt Company shall have the right to suspend or withhold grants of any and all rights to the Licensed Software (including Support) hereunder, should Customer fail to make payment in timely fashion or otherwise violates or is reasonably suspected to violate its obligations or terms under the Agreement, and where such violation or breach is not cured within ten (10) business days following The Qt Company’s written notice thereof.

Expiry or termination of any of Customer’s licenses hereunder for any reason whatsoever shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any License Fees accrued or payable to The Qt Company under any existing or outstanding Purchase Document in effect prior to the effective date of termination, and Customer will pay to The Qt Company all such unpaid fees due through the end of the Purchase Document’s term within thirty (30) days from the effective date of termination of the licenses.

8.4. Extension of Rights under Special Circumstances. In the event The Qt Company is declared bankrupt under a final, non-cancellable decision by relevant court of law, and the Agreement is not, at the date of expiry of the Tools Licenses, assigned to party, who has assumed The Qt Company’s position as a legitimate licensor of Licensed Software under the Agreement, then all valid Tools Licenses possessed by the Customer at such date of expiry, and which the Customer has not notified for expiry, shall be extended to be valid in perpetuity under the terms of the Agreement. For clarity, should the foregoing occur, any such extension shall not apply to The Qt Company’s Support obligations.
