(2) Insolvency of the wholesaler, the filing of any petition by or against the wholesaler under any bankruptcy or receivership law, or the assignment for the benefit of creditors or dissolution or liquidation of the wholesaler, where such condition materially affects the wholesaler's ability to remain in business;

(3) Fraud by the wholesaler in dealings with the supplier or its products that adversely affects the interests of the supplier;

(4) Violation of § 57-6-104(f), if it was done at the direction or with the knowledge of a substantial stockholder or substantial partner.

(5) The wholesaler has failed to pay for beer ordered and delivered in accordance with established terms with a supplier and fails to make full payment within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice of the delinquency and demand for immediate payment from the supplier.
