Schedule “A”
SMS Revenue Generation Example
For clarity, the parties acknowledge that SMS Revenue consists of only 50% of the retail charges for SMS text messaging; the balance of 50% is deducted by the cellular service carriers and any participating aggregators before payment of SMS Revenue to DY. Premium messaging rates vary from $0.50 to $2.00 depending on the program. DY traditionally charges consumers $0.50 for contest entries, or for content such as jokes, horoscopes, etc.
