approval by United of the SkyMall(R) Services Catalog pursuant to SECTION 5.21,
SkyMall shall be responsible on an annual basis for creating, designing,
developing, coordinating, producing, and printing at least three (3) successive
editions of a commercially acceptable SkyMall(R) Services Catalog, each edition
consisting of between twenty-four (24) and one-hundred and fifty (150) pages,
but not to exceed twelve (12) ounces per Catalog.
5.21 United Approval of SkyMall(R) Services Catalog.
A. United's Approval. United shall have the right to
review and approve or disapprove in a commercially reasonable manner and in
writing each edition of the SkyMall(R) Services Catalog including, without
limitation, all art work for covers and order forms, and any product or service
on any reasonable grounds (except prices), provided that any such approval or
disapproval is made in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt from
SkyMall of the listing in which such art work, product or service first appears.
United will be deemed to have approved all such artwork, product and service if
United's written approval or disapproval is not made to SkyMall within such ten
(10) day period.
B. SkyMall's Notice. Notwithstanding SECTION 5.2.1,
should United select any merchandise, including United's Trademarked
Merchandise, that in SkyMall's commercially reasonable belief will not sell, is
illegal, is dangerous, might not meet federal safety requirements, or may have
unreasonable purchase commitments required for a profitable program, then
SkyMall may notify United in writing at the time merchandise selections are made
of such belief. In the event that United chooses to include such merchandise in
the Catalog, United will assume total liability for such merchandise, including
without limitation, the cost of providing the inventory to supply such
merchandise, any overages in inventory, full indemnification of SkyMall for all
costs and damages in connection with such merchandise, law suits, federal or
state penalties, and other costs of defense and reasonable attorneys' fees

Distribution. After a Catalog edition is approved by United pursuant to this
SECTION 5.21, United or SkyMall may withdraw the Catalogs of that edition from
distribution on the following conditions: (a) Should the approved Catalog
edition, or a part thereof, create a public disturbance with United's passengers
and SkyMall cannot resolve such disturbance within a commercially reasonable
cost and period of time, then United will have the right to remove all such
Catalogs from its aircraft, and United shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing
by the Parties, reimburse SkyMall for fifty percent (50%) of all costs for
reproducing such Catalogs; (b) United may unilaterally remove any one Catalog
edition for any reason in which case
3
14
* Confidential portion has been
omitted and filed separately
with the Commission.
United shall reimburse SkyMall for all costs of reproducing such Catalog edition
and redistributing it to the United Hubs; and (c) SkyMall may unilaterally
require the removal of any one Catalog edition for any reason in which case
SkyMall shall reimburse United for all costs of removing and replacing such
Catalog edition. The unilateral removal of more than one Catalog edition by any
Party will be governed by the Section on Termination.
5.22 United Pages. The Parties agree that in each edition of
the SkyMall(R) Services Catalog, a mutually agreed upon number of pages not to
exceed eight (8) shall be devoted to the sale of merchandise marked with
United's own trademarks ("United's Trademarked Merchandise") and United's space
advertising devoted to non-merchandise offerings ("United's Advertising") as
designated by United (collectively, the "United Pages"). SkyMall shall provide
United Pages at cost to United pursuant to the United Pages Reimbursement
Formula in EXHIBIT B. Should United elect to feature merchandise for sale in the
United Pages, United and SkyMall will enter into a separate and mutually
acceptable revenue sharing agreement regarding the sale and delivery of such
merchandise, and the processing and accounting by SkyMall for such sales (the
"United Pages Agreement").
5.23 Merchandise and Services. Merchandise and services to be
offered in the SkyMall(R) Services Catalog shall be selected and priced by
SkyMall, except for those offered in the United Pages. SkyMall will consider
accommodating the reasonable requests of United for additional Catalog products
and services, and participating merchants.
5.24 Vendors Including GTE Airfone(R). Except as otherwise
agreed by SkyMall and United, SkyMall shall solicit and contract with each
vendor of merchandise or services separately with respect to that vendor's
participation in the SkyMall(R) Program ("Vendor"), and SkyMall shall be solely
responsible and liable for each Vendor's merchandise and services offered in the
SkyMall. Services Catalog, and United shall have no obligation, liability or
responsibility whatsoever to any such SkyMall Vendor, but United shall be solely
responsible and liable for United's merchandise and services offered in the
United Pages, including United's vendors. SkyMall will consult with United on
any future material contractual terms in SkyMall's contracts with GTE Airfone,
Inc. ("GTE") if such terms may have a negative financial impact on United.
United agrees not to interfere with or otherwise affect the terms upon which
SkyMall may enter into contracts (or negotiate for prospective contracts) with
any actual or potential Vendor. Nothing, however, in this Agreement has or is
intended to have any effect on the existing contracts which United and SkyMall
independently have with GTE.
5.25 United Approval of Advertising and Promotional Material.
All advertising or promotional material which refers to United and is
distributed in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to and require
the prior written approval of United.
5.26 United Employee Discounts. Subject to proper
identification, United employees will be allowed a * percent (*%) discount
on all of their orders for merchandise and concierge services offered in the
SkyMall(R) Services Catalog.
5.27 Rights to the Catalog and Catalog Name. All rights, title
and interest to the Catalog name "High Street Emporium" or any other name United
selects for the Catalog, and the goodwill attributable to such name, shall be
owned by and remain the property of United. All rights, title and interest to
the Catalog contents including, without limitation, the right to copyright the
Catalog and the SkyMall names "SkyMall(R)" and "SkyMall(R) Merchandise &
Concierge Services", as SkyMall selects from time to time, and the designs and
other information created or developed by SkyMall, or jointly by
4
15
SkyMall and United, in connection with the Catalog and the SkyMall(R) Program,
and the goodwill attributable thereto, shall be owned by and remain the property
of SkyMall.
5.28 Minimum Catalog Production Formula. Since it is in the
best interests of SkyMall and United to provide a Catalog for every passenger,
United and SkyMall agree that pursuant to a minimum Catalog production formula
(the "Minimum Catalog Production Formula" in EXHIBIT A), SkyMall shall produce,
and United shall distribute, SkyMall(R) Services Catalogs based on a factor of
three and three-tenths (3.3) times the number of aircraft seats available in the
United Domestic Fleets (the "United Domestic Fleet Seats"). SkyMall shall use
United's projected passenger enplanements (the "Projected Passenger
Enplanements") and the actual passenger enplanements (the "Actual Passenger
Enplanements") to calculate and monitor the actual customer Catalog response
rates (the "Catalog Response Rates"). Subject to the Catalog Response Rates and
if desired by United, SkyMall may, in its sole discretion, produce additional
Catalogs at its sole cost and expense for United's use. United shall provide
SkyMall on a timely basis the United Domestic Fleet Seats, Projected Passenger
Enplanements, the Actual Passenger Enplanements, and any updates thereto, during
the Term of this Agreement for the purposes of performing their respective
obligations under this Agreement. Should the Minimum Catalog Production Formula
yield a quantity that is less than the number of SkyMall(R) Services Catalogs
actually needed to satisfy the provisions of this Agreement (a "Catalog
Deficiency"), United and SkyMall agree that neither Party shall have any
liability to the other resulting or arising from such Catalog Deficiency.
5.3 SkvMall Shipment and United Distribution of Catalogs. During the
Term of this Agreement, subject to the Minimum Catalog Production Formula in
EXHIBIT A, SkyMall shall deliver the SkyMall(R) Services Catalogs to United's
facilities at up to six (6) United hub locations (the "United Hubs") according
to reasonable instructions by United (including delivery locations, quantities,

A. Confidential Information. The Parties agree that in the
event of a threatened breach or actual breach of the provisions of the SECTIONS
ON CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND NO-COMPETITION, that the non-defaulting Party's

being required) to prevent disclosure or use of the Confidential Information
pursuant to the SECTION ON BREACH AND DEFAULT REMEDIES.
B. Non-Payment. Either Party's refusal, failure, or neglect in
making any required payment or performing any monetary term, condition,
covenant, warranty or representation within fifteen (15) days after its due date

or neglect in the performance of, or breach of, any non-monetary term,
condition, covenant, warranty or representation contained in this Agreement
shall have occurred and be continuing for thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from the other Party; provided however that such thirty (30) day period
may be extended if, within such period, a duly authorized representative of the
defaulting Party delivers to the other Party a certificate stating that the
breach is not susceptible of cure within such thirty (30) day period but can be
cured within a period of ninety (90) days from receipt of the initial notice and
further stating the actions being taken and to be taken to effect a cure, then
the defaulting Party shall be entitled to a total period of up to ninety (90)
days from the initial notice to cure such breach, but only for as long as the
defaulting Party diligently and vigorously pursues such cure, then, without
further notice, the non-defaulting Party may pursue any and all rights and
remedies available to it;
D. Bankruptcy or Insolvency. Either Party: (a) Becomes
insolvent; (b) Does not pay its bills when due without just cause; (c) Takes any
material steps leading to its cessation as a going concern; (d) Ceases or
suspends operations; (e) Makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or there is filed by or against a Party a voluntary or involuntary
petition or application for a custodian, or the appointment of a receiver,
provided, however, that any Party against whom an involuntary petition is filed
shall have sixty (60) days to secure the dismissal thereof before the filing
shall be deemed a default under this Agreement; or (f) Commences any action
under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of
debtors, or proceedings for a Party's relief, or for the composition, extension,
arrangement or adjustment of any of a Party's obligations, or affecting any
significant portion of a Party's property, provided, however, that if any of the
foregoing actions are filed against a Party involuntarily, such Party shall have
sixty (60) days to secure dismissal thereof before such filing shall be deemed

Code", or any similar or successor provision. Any such suspension
17
28
of further performance by the non-defaulting Party pending the defaulting
Party's assumption or rejection will not be a breach of this Agreement and will
not affect the non-defaulting Party's right to pursue or enforce any of its
rights under this Agreement or otherwise.
