NOW
THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH THAT in consideration of the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1.0 |
Term
|
a. |
The
initial term (the “Term”)
of this Agreement will commence on February 1, 2006 (the “Effective
Date”)
and continue until January 31, 2009 (the “Expiration
Date”),
subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 16.0. If CVS
provides PhotoChannel with ninety (90) days notice that it desires
to
renew this Agreement then the Term shall extend for a period of time
determined by CVS of up to twelve (12) months (each such twelve (12)
month
period, a “Renewal
Period”)
at the terms and conditions, including pricing, in effect as of the

the extent the conflicting provisions can reasonably be interpreted
so
that such provisions are consistent with each other, such consistent
interpretation will prevail; and
|
2. |
to
the extent Section 2.0(a)(1) does not apply, the Base Terms will
prevail
over a conflicting term in the
Attachments.
|
b. |
CVS
and PhotoChannel drafted and negotiated this Agreement jointly, and

but
rather in accordance with its fair
meaning.
