Kinko's, Inc. was justified in terminating its contract with
plaintiff Inspire Someone, LLC.  The failure of Inspire Someone
to pay its monthly rent promptly was a material breach (see
Madison Ave. Leasehold, LLC v Madison Bentley Assoc. LLC, 8 NY3d
59, 65 [2006]; Fifty States Mgt. Corp. v Pioneer Auto Parks, 46
NY2d 573, 578 [1979]); the contract contained no provision for a
grace period, and no requirement that Kinko's give notice of a
breach and an opportunity to cure it; and Kinko's did not waive
its right to terminate.
