(B) | To formally document the understanding of the parties with respect to the allocation of certain revenue and cost, the parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement with effect from 1 October 2003 and in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations herein contained (the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged). |
NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:
1. | INTERPRETATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE | |
1.1 | Terms defined and expressions in respect of which a construction is given in the Technical Services Agreement shall bear the same meaning or, as the case may be, construction when used herein unless otherwise defined or given a construction herein except where the context otherwise requires. | |
1.2 | The parties hereby agree that this agreement shall take effect on and from 1 October 2003. | |
2. | REVENUE ALLOCATION |
CCT or CCT Shanghai may from time to time engage CCLX to provide services (including but not limited to the provision of the satellite network equipment of CCLX) for its customers (the “Engagement”). In the event that CCLX is engaged to provide services to a customer of CCT or CCT Shanghai, CCT or CCT Shanghai, as the case may be, shall pay to CCLX, up to 10% of the fees received by that customer or such other amount as determined by CCT or CCT Shanghai, as the case may be, in its absolute discretion, in connection with the Engagement. | ||
3. | COST ALLOCATION | |
3.1 | Subject to Clause 3.2, all the expenses incurred by CCLX in relation to its customer service, IT support, network operation and finance functions, which are primarily staff costs and administrative expenses, shall be allocated for the account of CCT or CCT Shanghai. The amount to be reimbursed shall be determined by CCT or CCT Shanghai, as the case may be, in its absolute discretion. | |
3.2 | CCT or CCT Shanghai may vary the type of expenses it will reimburse CCLX for pursuant to Clause 3.1. | |
