this agreement but also conduct with respect to other agreements with parties to this agreement or others.

such assurance of due performance as is adequate under the circumstances of the particular case is a
repudiation of this agreement. Acceptance of any improper delivery, service, or payment does not
prejudice the aggrieved party's right to demand adequate assurance of future performance.
