WHEREAS,
Provider wishes to make available certain services to IXI for use by customers
and end users and IXI wishes to purchase such services from
Provider;
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, it is mutually agreed by and
between IXI and Provider (the “Parties”) as follows :
1. Definitions
For the
purpose of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meaning hereby
assigned to them unless the context would obviously require
otherwise.
“Active Subscriber”
means, in any calendar month, a Subscriber that was logged in to the System
and/or used the Service at least once in such calendar
month.
“Affiliate” means a
person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with,
another person or entity.
“Client ID” shall mean
a unique, identification number generated by Provider for an OGO (as defined
below), and identifiable by IXI Customer, as defined within the System (as
defined below).
“Commercial
Launch” shall have the meaning given to it in Exhibit D.
“Dependencies” shall
have the meaning given to it in Exhibit D.
“IXI Customer” means a
company and or person to whom IXI re-sells the Service (including without
limitation Operators, resellers, distributors, mobile virtual network operators
(MVNO) and internet service providers (ISPs)).
“Key Milestone
Date(s)” means the date specified in Exhibit D for Commercial
Launch.
“OGO” means the mobile
messaging devices known as OGO, CT-10 and/or CT-12 and similar devices,
including any updates, upgrades, modifications, next generation devices or
replacements thereof.
“Operator(s)” means a
supplier, licensor or provider of mobile telecommunications services to
customers and/or end users.
“Portal” shall mean
the following providers of instant messaging and/or email services: MSN, Yahoo!,
ICQ and AOL.
“Project” means an OGO
launch with an IXI Customer pursuant to an SOW under the terms of this
Agreement.
“Roadmap” means a
roadmap for a Project. Exhibit E.
“Reseller” means a
person or entity who is authorized in writing by IXI to sell or license OGO
devices and/or services.
“Service Level Agreement
(SLA)” means the service level agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
B.

forth in an applicable SOW (as defined below).
“Statement of Work
(SOW)” means a
statement of work for a Project. Exhibit A.
“Subscriber” means a

customer of an IXI Customer). For the avoidance of doubt and as an
example, if an IXI Customer re-sells the Service onto General Motors Inc,
General Motor's employees rather than the corporate entity itself would be
deemed to be the Subscribers (and as such an Active Subscriber Fee would be
payable for each employee that is an Active Subscriber).

Provider for the provisioning of the Services.

satisfaction of the non-breaching party within fifteen (15) days from the
date of receipt of written notice of such breach (such 15 day period, the
“Cure
Period”). For clarification purposes, any termination of
this Agreement under this Section 8.2(i)(a) by IXI for Provider’s breach
of an SLA will not relieve Provider of any amounts owed to IXI resulting
from such breach.
|
– 6
–
Notice of
such termination must be provided no later than 5 days after cure of such
breach. Failure to provide notice of termination within the 5 day period will
result in the end of the right to terminate for that breach.
(b)
|
if
the other party ceases its operations, or those operations applicable to
the rights granted hereunder or becomes
insolvent.
|
(ii) IXI
may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon one hundred eighty (180) day
written notice to Provider. Such termination will not
relieve the terminating Party from paying other Party any amounts due
prior to such termination under this Agreement.
|
(iii)
|
IXI
may terminate this Agreement upon a material breach by the Provider of any
of its obligations related to the Roadmap, where a commercially reasonable
effort to implement the Roadmap was not made by Provider, which breach is
not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of IXI within thirty (30) days
from the date of receipt of written notice of such breach for items that,
according to the Roadmap, are to be implemented before December 16th,
2005 and fifty (50) days for items that are to be implemented after
December 16th,
2005. For clarification purposes, any termination of this
Agreement under this Section 8.2(iii) by IXI for Provider’s breach related
to the Roadmap will not relieve Provider of amounts, if any, owed to IXI
resulting from such breach.
|
Notice of
such termination must be provided no later than Five (5) days after cure of such
breach. Failure to provide notice of termination within the Five (5) day period
will result in the end of the right to terminate for that breach.
|
8.3
|
Effects of
Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement, each
party, to the extent applicable, shall return to the other party (or at
the other party’s sole election, destroy) all of the

possession or control. Upon written request, each party shall
provide to the other party a written certificate of an authorized officer
that it has complied with its termination
obligations.
