         Agreement at any time, immediately upon providing written notice to
         Magical; and (ii) Magical may terminate this Agreement at any time,
         upon providing Sky 180 days prior written notice.

9.       No Partnership.  Magical shall act as a contractor of Sky and nothing
         in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, agency
         or similar relationship between the parties or otherwise to permit
         Magical, in any way, to undertake any obligation or to bind or make
         any commitment on behalf of Sky.
