Upon the expiration of the 30 day cure period, a 30 day wind down of the Company Account shall commence (“Termination Notice Period”). Company may have full or limited use of the Account during the Termination Notice Period for the sole purpose of winding down its use of the account in a commercially reasonable manner. Any Product inventory that remains in Worldwide Shipping Center’s inventory at the expiration of the Termination Notice Period will be shipped to Company at the address on file and, if address is not on file, the billing address on Company’s credit card, at Company’s expense.
