Once a Licensor approval has been secured, BVIG may use the approved marketing and/or advertising materials throughout the Term in any substantially similar

format and manner as it was previously approved for (for example, the same website banner advertisement approved for one Carrier, may be used for another Carrier with a change in the Carrier name on the advertisement).

(b) Licensor Subscribers. Upon launch of the NL Wireless Applications, Licensor will notify via email its subscribers and/or other individuals whose email addresses Licensor maintains for marketing purposes (“Marketing Email Addresses”), that their email addresses will be shared with BVIG for the purpose of marketing the NL Wireless Applications contemplated hereunder.

6. RESPONSIBILITIES AND RIGHTS

(a) Licensor Responsibilities and Rights.


	(i)	Approvals. Licensor will have approval rights over each NL Wireless Application provided hereunder by BVIG, subject to Licensor’s reasonable discretion. Such approval rights may be exercised at different points of the development process as reasonably agreed to by the parties for the specific item being developed. For example, a simple screensaver based on a picture may only need one approval when the actual screensaver js completed, but an Interactive Event that requires repurposing of content, branding of the user interface, decisions about the wireless devices to be supported and the display and appearance of the item on each wireless device, may require different approvals throughout the process. Notwithstanding the previous language in this Section 6(a)(i), Licensor will always have a minimum of one approval before an NL Wireless Application is made available to end users. Licensor will promptly provide approvals or disapprovals when requested in writing by BVIG for any and all NL Wireless Applications created by BVIG. Licensor will provide all clearance approvals and disapprovals for all elements of the NL Content and NL Wireless Applications (for example, for each piece of NL Content Licensor will confirm that to the best of its knowledge such content is owned or validly licensed by Licensor, or is in the public domain, and that to the best of its knowledge the content does not defame any person or entity, or violate any copyright, trademark, right of privacy or publicity, or any other rights of any party). Licensor’s failure to provide any approval or disapproval hereunder within ten (10) days after BVIG’s written request therefore shall be deemed Licensor’s approval of the applicable materials. If Licensor disapproves of any material it will, contemporaneously with such disapproval, supply a written statement setting forth the exact reasons for the disapproval and the corrections necessary to obtain Licensor’s approval, if any. Notwithstanding this Section 6(a)(i), BVIG will also maintain approvals over NL Wireless Applications per Section 6(b)(i), below.


	(ii)	NL Content. NL Content supplied hereunder will be provided to BVIG in XML format by Licensor. Licensor will host, at its cost, the NL Content and supply to BVIG the URL by which BVIG may access all provided NL Content. The NL Content will be updated by Licensor at a minimum as required by Exhibit A. In partial consideration of the MRG, Licensor includes in Exhibit A the minimum NL Content that will be made available for NL Wireless Applications and/or the Wireless Portal during the Term.

	(iii)	Third Party Participations. Notwithstanding the definition of Net Revenues or any other language in this Agreement, Licensor will be solely responsible for promptly paying the cost of any and all fees, royalties, commissions, and other payments and charges including, butnot limited to those for third party participations, for use of any and all of the Materials and underlying Intellectual Property Rights in or otherwise used in conjunction with the NL Wireless Applications. Such fees may include, but are not limited to, payments due for the use of any music or third-party images.

	(iv)	Assistance. Licensor will use all reasonable efforts to assist BVIG in BVIG’s creation and Wireless Distribution of the NL Wireless Applications and the Wireless Portal, described in Section 6(b)(ii) below.

	(v)	Regulatory Obligations. Licensor acknowledges that Carriers and/or other third parties with which BVIG may contract for the Wireless Distribution of the NLWireless Applications (“Third Party Distributors”) may have regulatory, legal or other governmental requirements for Wireless Distribution over their systems/networks, or require other contractual obligations for Wireless Distribution over their systems/networks (for example, potential regulatory obligations to track and respond to certain end user complaints, privacy of end user data, etc.) (collectively “Third Party Obligations”). Licensor agrees to abide by all applicable Third Party Obligations and to assist BVIG, as requested, so that BVIG may abide by such Third Party Obligations provided BVIG notifies Licensor of such Third Party Obligations in writing in sufficient time for Licensor to comply therewith.

(b) BVIG Responsibilities and Rights.


	(i)	Content. BVIG, at its cost, will create the NL Wireless Applications based on the provided NL Content. Licensor may choose not to allow the Wireless Distribution of certain NL Wireless Applications. To the extent, however, BVIG has incurred reasonable costs to create any NL Wireless Applications for Wireless Distribution and Licensor chooses not to allow BVIG to distribute such NL Wireless Application(s) or any portion thereof, then (i) BVIG will be entitled to completely recoup all such costs from any future Net Revenue it collects before any further Revenue Share with Licensor, and/or (2)


		Licensor will promptly reimburse such costs to BVIG within a reasonable time after receipt of written itemization thereof and subject to Licensor’s ability to review such costs. All NL Wireless Applications “ and all Materials contained therein will be subject to BVIG’s approval and BVIG’s content control guidelines which will be provided to Licensor upon execution of this Agreement and may be updated by BVIG, as such is supplied to Licensor. For purposes of clarity, BVIG may choose to not allow the creation or Wireless Distribution of any particular NL Wireless Application(s), at its discretion.

	(ii)	Wireless Portal. BVIG, or any third party(ies) of BVIG’s choice (for example, a Carrier), will host or otherwise provide access to the NL Wireless Applications for sublicense to end users, Carriers and/or other third parties, at BVIG’ s cost. At BVIG’s discretion BVIG may sublicense the NL Wireless Applications in separate parts for “a la carte” distribution (for example, licensing only NL Wireless Applications that are ringtones for distribution to end users through a Carrier’s ringtones section of an Internet portal or handset menu that includes multiple content providers), and/or VIG may create a general Licensor-branded wireless portal for end users to access the NL Wireless Applications (the “Wireless Portal”). Access to the Wireless Portal may be made available to end users via Carriers, via access to individual wireless devices, on the Internet, or as otherwise determined by BVIG. The Wireless Portal will generally consist of a wireless “site” built for wireless access with a “horne-screen” that lists a set of links to pages containing different Wireless NL Content categories ringtones, news stories, screensavers, Foto-Funnies) and/or Interactive Events (£::&, the Interactive Events listed in Exhibit B). The Wireless Portal will be subject to both BVIG’s and Licensor’s approvals. To the extent, however, BVIG has incurred costs to create any portions of the Wireless Portal and Licensor chooses not to allow BVIG to launch or otherwise make available such portion(s) of the Wireless Portal, then (i) BVIG will be entitled to completely recoup all such costs from any future Net Revenue it collects before any further Revenue Share with Licensor, and/or (2) Licensor will promptly reimburse such costs to BVIG after receipt of written itemization thereof and subject to Licensor’s ability to review such costs.

	(iii)	Carriers. BVIG will use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate agreements to provide for the Wireless Distribution of the NL Wireless Applications with Carriers in the Territory.

	(iv)	Pricing. Pricing for the sublicensing of all NL Wireless Applications to Carriers, end users and/or other third parties will be determined by BVIG, at its discretion; however, BVIG will use good faith efforts to consult with Licensor regarding such, though BVIG will still maintain final price determination.

(c) Licensor and BVIG Obligations.
The parties will discuss in good faith what, if any, Interactive Events they may conduct pursuant to this Agreement. If the parties agree to conduct an Interactive Event, they will agree to such in a written amendment to this Agreement signed by both parties, that sets forth the responsibilities of each party regarding the specific Interactive Event. Both parties acknowledge that the final look and feel, creative style, functionality, and design of the NL Wireless Applications and the potential Wireless Portal are undetermined as of the Effective Date. Licensor will use all commercially reasonable efforts to work with BVIG to accomplish the tasks necessary to create and launch the NL Wireless Applications and the Wireless Portal (if BVIG chooses to create the Wireless Portal). Some of the tasks will include determining development, production, launch and marketing schedules and to create efficient workflow between the two parties. The parties acknowledge that the NL Wireless Applications and the Wireless Portal, subject to both parties’ respective discretion and approval rights hereunder, may change over time, based on, among other factors, the relative success of specific NL Wireless Content and Interactive Events.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

Any information or documentation disclosed between the parties during the performance of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Non-Disclosure Agreement between Licensor and BVIG dated as of March 2, 2004 (“NDA “), the terms of which are hereby extended to address the foregoing and are further ratified by the parties and incorporated herein by this reference. This Agreement and its terms and conditions will be considered confidential pursuant to the NDA.

8. END USER DATA

(a) Responsibilities for End User Data. This Agreement does not affect any rights Licensor may have to collect, store and use all End User Data collected on Licensor’s Websites; provided, however, that Licensor will promptly provide to BVIG all collected End User Data directly or indirectly relating to the Wireless Distribution of NL Wireless Applications within the Territory including, but not limited to, subscription data and the email addresses from end users requesting information about such Wireless Distribution, and such End User Data will thereafter be jointly owned by the parties. Both Licensor and BVIG will have ownership of and rights to collect, store, and use all End User Data received by BVIG or Licensor via any subscriptions to or distribution of NL Wireless Applications except to the extent (1) contractual restrictions of contracted Carriers or other third parties limit such collection, storage and/or use (for example, Carriers sublicensed by BVIG typically have significant restrictions about use and sharing of their end users’ data), (2) each party’s compliance with its own published data privacy and other user policies, (3) an end user opts out or otherwise indicates it does not want any of its End User
V Data shared, and/or (4) privacy laws, regulations or other governmental decree limit such collection, storage and/or use.
