The rate for information service of BREW application shall include the rate of application program (hereafter referred to as Program Rate) and the rate for content subscribed through application programs (hereafter referred to as Content Rate). It shall be allowed that Program Rate and Content Rate would be separated from each other as Party B are formulated such rates.

In case that subscribers register services through the GIS system provided by Party A, the GIS charges shall be paid to the Party A. Party A shall deduct the positioning and GIS service charges from the total amount of information service charges before they are distributed between Party A and Party B.
III.
Billing and Settlement of Payment
1.
The information service charges on the account receivable shall be settled between Party A and Party B. After an 8% reserves for bad bills and positioning and GIS charges being deducted from the total amount of due information service charges, regarding the charge for all BREW applications (regardless content rate included or not) that are distributed and billed by BREW Distribution System (BDS) or Access Download Server (ADS), Party B agrees to allow China Unicom Bolu Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as China Unicom Bolu) to charge a percentage of L (equivalent to 10%) of the deducted due information service charges to cover developer’s overheads (hereafter referred to as Developer’s Overheads). The Developer’s Overheads that are charged by China Unicom Bolu shall not be lower than the rate of 0.5 yuan/time. Party B agrees to entrust Party A to collect Developer’s Overheads on its behalf and to transfer that amount of charges to China Unicom Bolu. After the amount for bad bills, the positioning and GIS charges and the Developer’s Overheads have been deducted from the total amount of information service charges, the remaining amount shall be distributed between Party A and Party B as per a ratio of 15% to 85%.
2.
Party B agrees to entrust Party A to collect a fixed (L) amount of Developer’s Overheads on its behalf, and Party A shall transfer the fixed amount of Developer’s Overheads (L=10%) to the account of China Unicom Bolu on a regular basis.
3.

4. Calculations for Income Distribution
Parameters:
E:
Represents the total information service charges on the account receivable
L:
Represents the percentage for Developer’s Overheads that China Unicom Bolu shall collect regarding the BREW applications that are distributed and billed through BDS or ADS (L=10%).
LB: The ratio for distribution of positioning charges, which is the percentage of the due amount of information service charges that Party A shall obtain for providing service of positioning platform.
G:
The ratio for distribution of GIS charges, which is the percentage of the due amount of information service charges that Party A shall be given for providing GIS system service. In case that Party B does not use the GIS system provided by Party A, the value of G shall equal to zero.
S:
The ratio for distribution of due information service charges, i.e. the percentage of the due amount of information service charges that Party B is entitled to obtain.
A:
The final ratio of distribution, i.e. the final ratio of the income obtained by Party B to the due amount of information service charges.
The BREW application that is distributed and billed through BDS / ADS:
Under the above stated settings, the formula that is applied to calculate the final ratio of income distribution shall be: A = (1-8%) * (1-L-LB-G) * S
As per the above formulations, regarding to the amount of the due information service charges, the amount of income that Party B shall obtain would be equivalent to the value of E * A, according to the receivable information service charge E.
Party A shall make calculations and work out the total amount of the incomes of all types of services provided by Party B as per the ratio for income distribution agreed on by both parties. With other due costs that shall be paid by (paid to) Party B deducted (or added), the final result of calculation represents the amount of income that Party A shall pay to Party B.
5. Ratio of Income Distribution
(1)
Through bilateral negotiations between Party A and Party B, it is agreed that the distribution of information service charges between both parties shall be made as per the ratio listed below (the percentage of assumed bad bills B=8%):
15%: 85% for positioning charges, 0%: 100%for GIS service charges and the percentage of all types of application information services that shall be distributed to Party B would be 85%.
(2)
In case that it becomes necessary for party A to make adjustment to the standard rate stipulated by Party A on unified basis, Party A is obliged to inform Party B of such adjustment in advance.
