All aspects of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the NDA. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Exhibits hereto shall be considered “Information” as such term is defined in the NDA.

  a. Company understands and agrees that Nextel Partners (as defined below), NII Holdings Inc. (“NII”), and/or Extend America, Inc. (“Extend America”) may need to enter into a separate agreement with Company, and any separate agreement between Company and Nextel Partners, NII, or Extend America shall be at prices and on terms and conditions in the aggregate no less favorable than those in effect between Company and Nextel. Company agrees not to sue or take any other action against Nextel for a breach by Nextel Partners, NII, or Extend America of any agreement between Company and Nextel Partners, NII, or Extend America, but rather to proceed directly against Nextel Partners, NII, or Extend America. “Nextel Partners” means Nextel Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation in which Nextel Communications, Inc. (“NCI”) indirectly holds a minority ownership interest and which deploys a network compatible with NCI’s network.

27. RECORDS AND INSPECTION RIGHTS. Both Parties shall keep and maintain proper records and books of account relating to the obligations contained in this Agreement, including but not limited to those contained in Section 15 and those regarding the Payments and/or billing of Nextel Users hereunder. Each Party may inspect such records of the other, but not more than twice in any twelve (12) month period. Any such inspection (an “Audit”) will be conducted after reasonable notice and during regular business hours at the offices of the Party to be audited in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the business activities of the Party to be audited. With regard to an Audit regarding the obligations contained in Section 15 of this Agreement, without limiting any other rights or remedies of Nextel under this Agreement or at law, upon notice from Nextel regarding a breach of this Agreement, Company shall promptly develop a corrective action plan in cooperation with Nextel, such plan to be subject to Nextel’s approval, and shall promptly thereafter implement such plan. With regard to the Payment obligations contained in this Agreement, the audited Party shall immediately pay the auditing Party the amount of any underpayment revealed by an Audit.

28. INSURANCE. At all times during the Term, each Party shall maintain a general liability insurance policy or policies adequate in amount to insure such Party against all liability associated with this Agreement, including potential liability pursuant to the indemnification obligations contained herein, but in no event shall such insurance coverage be less than Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (“Minimum Insurance Coverage”). The coverage amounts set forth herein may be met by a combination of underlying and umbrella policies so long as, in combination, the limits equal or exceed those stated. Company will not be deemed to be in breach of this provision provided that it maintains the Minimum Insurance Coverage. Additionally, both Parties shall maintain workers’ compensation insurance in statutorily required amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section is intended to limit the liability of either Party.

29. MISCELLANEOUS. 

  a. Independent Contractors/ Non-Exclusivity/ Performance.

  b. Section 365(n).

The Parties agree that Nextel and its Affiliates, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of bankruptcy proceeding by or against Company under the Code, Nextel and its Affiliates shall be entitled to retain all of their rights under this Agreement.

This Agreement has been negotiated by the Parties and their respective counsel and will be interpreted fairly in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either Party. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and its Exhibits, the Agreement shall govern. The failure of a Party to object to, or to take affirmative action with respect to, any conduct of the other which is in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of the violation or breach or of any future violation, breach, or wrongful conduct. Any waiver, in whole or in part, of any provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any other provision hereof, or as a future waiver of any subsequent breach by Company.

  f. Headings/ Binding Effect/ Counterparts. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience and shall not be used to interpret this Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

Exhibit A-1
DESCRIPTION OF DIGITAL ITEMS FOR NEXTEL USERS
 
1. Preloaded Digital Items:
 
  a. ESPN Bass Master Legendary Lunkers

  i) The Preloaded version of ESPN Bass Masters is a Demonstration Version Digital Item. The Demonstration Version is limited to recreational play, no tournament. Nextel Users have access to ‘cast-n-wait’ and ‘reel-time’ play modes. They are, however, limited to catching 4 fish, at which point the playable aspect of the Demonstration Version, and a feature slide show begins.

  ii) Digital Item Description / Features / Functionalities: Legendary Lunkers features the Cast ‘n Wait system, a mobile gameplay breakthrough - which emulates real fishing by surprising the player with a call back when a fish is biting. Whether competing against the top online scores or fishing in the recreational mode, virtual anglers will be challenged by actual Bassmaster tournament locales and real-time weather conditions. Bassmaster Mobile offers the definitive fishing experience for mobile games. The Demonstration Version consists of two play paths, one for consumers with a TotalConnect data plan, the other for consumers without. Both paths allow consumers to play ‘reel-time’ mode (an action game where you catch fish), and ‘cast-n-wait’ mode (a passive game where you cast your line, and the application shuts down, calling you back when you get a ‘bite’ on the line)

2. Non-Preloaded Digital Items

  a. Nextel Users may subsequently download the Full Local Version or Full Network Aware Version of ESPN Bass Master Legendary Lunkers.

  i) LOCAL: All the features of the Network Aware version of the game, EXCEPT: No real time weather feed from the National Weather Service. No up-loadable tournament scores, for competition against other mobile fishermen.

  ii) NETWORK AWARE: All designed features of the game, including real time weather and on-line leader board for tournament scores.

3. Non-Preloaded Digital Items. Regarding subscription, licensing and/or download of a Digital Item to a Device, such Device NOT being within a Derivative Device Group where at least one Device of such Derivative Device Group was previously Preloaded with such Digital Item, where Nextel bills the Nextel User for such Digital Item, the following shall apply:

  a. Digital Items Except for Ring Tones and Wallpapers, Except for Ring Tones and Wallpapers, Nextel will pay to Company [********](“Payment Percent 2”) of the sums actually collected from such Nextel User for use of such Digital Item (“Payment 2”).

  b.

  c. Bundling. In the event that Nextel offers other Digital Items, services and/or products in conjunction with a Digital Item as a “bundled service,” and those “bundled services” are offered at a discounted price, Company shall receive the Payment calculated from a price, which for the purpose of calculation is the price for the Digital Item at the time minus the discount, which discount is the overall discount of the bundle equally spread across each component of the bundle. Thus, if one Digital Item is priced at $10.00 and a customer purchases another application with a stand-alone price of $5.00, Nextel may price the bundled services (Digital Item and the $5 stand-alone application) at $13.50 (a 10% discount on the bundle). For purposes of calculating the Payment, the price of each service billed to the Nextel User would be reduced by the rate of discount for the bundle as a whole (10% discount). Hence, the allocation for the individual components of the bundle would be $9.00 for the Digital Item ($10.00 minus 10%) and $4.50 for the other stand-alone application ($5.00 minus 10%).

5. Initial Implementation Fee. Company shall pay a one-time set up fee (the “Set Up Fee”) of five hundred dollars ($500) for incorporating Company into Nextel’s enhanced data billing platform, which allows Nextel to bill Nextel Users for Company-provided Digital Items.

The sums subject to the Boost Mobile Payment Percents shall not include access, airtime, wireless data transport, shipping fees, taxes or any other charges payable by Boost Users to Nextel.

  c. Bundling.
