Vincent, the agreement could be challenged, but an argument for invalidation based on a typographical error has almost no likelihood of success. The intent of the parties to the contract is most important, and absurd results will not be construed by a court. The absurd result in question would be that the contract is invalid for stating 2010 rather than 2009, and no other provision is binding. Absurd. It's a valid contract with a type-o.

If I may be of further assistance, please email me [email protected].
