PREAMBLE
According
to a Master Alliance Agreement between Audible, France Loisirs and Audio Direct,
Audible grants to France Loisirs the exclusive right and license to conduct
and
operate the Audible Service, to offer and sell licenses to end users to download
digital audio books and audio spoken word content in French.
This
agreement commences on September 15th
2004 and
continues for a period of 24 months.
By
letter
dated June the 22nd
2006,
and as per article 7.1, Audio Direct informed Audible about its discussions
with
a major French publishing house to form a joint company in order to develop
Audible contents and a desire to simplify the financial terms of the renewed
Master Alliance Agreement.
Therefore
it has been agreed and decided as follows:
Article
1 -
The
parties agree to a first renewal period of the Master Alliance agreement from
September the 15th
2006 to
December the 31st
2006.
The
parties agree to negotiate inn good faith the terms of a second renewal of
the
Master Alliance Agreement during the period from July the 25th
2006 to
November the 30th
2006.
During
the period of time of the first renewal period, all the terms and conditions
of
the Master Alliance Agreement remain in effect, except the 180 day notice
provision in Article 7.2.
If
the
parties don’t agree to and execute a second renewal of the Master Alliance
Agreement by November the 30th
2006,
the first renewal of Master Alliance Agreement will expire on December the
31st
2006,
and no further renewals will be possible.
For
the
avoidance of doubt, if a second renewal of the Master Alliance Agreement is
not
executed by November the 30th
2006,
the Master Alliance Agreement will terminate on December the 31st
2006.
Article
2 -
This
addendum effective date is September the 15th
2006.
The
parties agree that other terms and conditions of the Master Alliance Agreement
