undertakings or any part thereof should be appointed, or if the Supplier ceases or threatens to cease to carry on business,
or if any distress or execution shall be levied upon the Supplier, or if the Supplier, being a body corporate, does or fails to do
anything which act or failure would entitle any person to present a petition for winding up, or if any resolution is proposed, or
petition presented to wind up by the Supplier, or if an application is made for an administration order, the Company may,
