x required: " a corporation in good standing" Therefore if the corporation as organized and financed is "in good standing" from a state law and IRS perspective and if X were to terminate the new guys contract simply due to restructuring even though all aspects and provisions as set forth are in full compliance and therefore "in good standing" itwould prove conclusively and reaffirm what I've been telling you all along. It simply does not consider and single term or condition in it's unilaterally drafted and implemented contract to be binding upon itself. The guy who has the route is thinking about selling out and then paying me off. He has had enough time to see what ISP is going to be like in a depressed rural area and he doesn't see much of a future working under the ISP rules Makes good sense. In a country with a per capita income of $ 52,000, in my area it's $16,000 leaving a county official in my county to describe the situation as " a culture of poverty". We're shutting down schools, hospitals ,power plants but X is a NATIONWIDE carrier and somebody has to service those areas and it's not an easy task in the face of a local and regional economy that does not freely lend itself to that endevor.
