The Partnership shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for an initial term of ten (10) years, with automatic renewal for successive periods of five (5) years thereafter, unless terminated by the provisions of this Agreement or by mutual agreement of the Partners.
4. Capital Contribution
Both Parties acknowledge and agree that the capital contributions are essential for the successful establishment and operation of the Partnership.
