This Agreement will run for a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date for all products presently sourced by the Company with its existing suppliers, or any new suppliers that TAG might source, with the approval of the Company. It is understood that from the Effective Date, and for a period of three (3) years, TAG will exclusively manage all the sourcing of the environmental bag products, presently sold by the Company.
