Article 1: Appointment

Customer grants Vendor the privilege of providing Customer with Service. Vendor will provide Service in accordance with all terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Article 2: Terms of Agreement

2.1Initial Term

The "Initial Term" of the Agreement is subject to the term reflected in the Short-Form Agreement, commencing one month following the date of the Short-Form Agreement's execution.

2.2Automatic Renewal

This agreement shall automatically be renewed for a "Successive Term" equal to the Initial Term unless Customer provides written notice via certified mail at least 60 days prior to the conclusion of any Initial Term or Successive Term ("Term").

2.3Early Termination

In the event Customer terminates this agreement before the conclusion of any Term, Customer agrees to (1) compensate Vendor for "Liquidated Damages", (2) to purchase all "Non-Standard Inventory Items" as defined elsewhere in Agreement, and (3) agrees to fully perform all other parts of Agreement that may be triggered by Early Termination. Customer acknowledges the difficulty of computing Liquidated Damages and hereby agrees that the value should be equal to 50% of the revenue that Vendor could expect to receive throughout the remainder of the incomplete Term. Expected Revenue will be computed as the daily average of the highest 3- consecutive-months of invoiced charges in the terminated Term multiplied by the days remaining in the terminated Term. Moreover, if Customer terminates this agreement without cause within the first 12 months following its commencement, Vendor may request reimbursement for all inventory items purchased in order to service Customer. Vendor may at any time terminate this agreement at its discretion by providing written notice at least 90 days prior to the conclusion of the Term.

2.4Termination for Cause
