      Revenue and the Mobile Entertainment Service Royalty. DWANGO shall be

      the amount of Mobile Entertainment Service Royalty due for the applicable
      period, which shall be due within thirty (30) days subsequent to the end

      information reasonably necessary for computation and confirmation of the
      Mobile Entertainment Service Royalties, if any, for such monthly period.

      Audits. In
      connection with the obligations undertaken by DWANGO hereunder to prepare

      than twice per calendar year (and once within 180 days after the last
      royalty statement provided hereunder is received by NAPSTER). Upon ten
      (10) days prior written notice by NAPSTER, DWANGO will provide such
      accountant with access to the books and records relating to such Royalty
      Reports, at DWANGO’s facilities during normal business hours. NAPSTER
      shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the accountant;
      provided that DWANGO shall be obligated to pay such fees and expenses if
      the accountant determines that DWANGO prepared such report incorrectly
      resulting in underpayment of the NAPSTER Royalties by more than five
      percent (5%) for the period being audited. DWANGO shall immediately pay
      any such underpayments to NAPSTER.

	7.1.  	
      Confidentiality
      Obligations. Each
      of the Parties hereby acknowledges that all Confidential Material of the
      other Party constitutes trade secrets of the other Party and must be kept
      confidential. Each Party acknowledges the unique and proprietary nature of
      the Confidential Material of the other Party. Each Party hereby agrees and
      acknowledges that it makes no present claim, nor will it make any future
      claim whatsoever, to the other Party’s Confidential Material. In addition,
      the Parties agree that no Party shall disclose the Confidential Material,
      or any part thereof, to any person or entity without the prior written
      consent of the other Party; and each Party shall treat the Confidential
      Material as confidential and proprietary information of the other Party
      and the Confidential Material of the other as valuable business and
      property rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
      representations and obligations of the Parties contained within this
      paragraph 7 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
      For purposes of Section 7 of this Agreement, “Party” shall include the
      directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, successors and
      predecessors of such Party. Each Party agrees to only disclose
      Confidential Materials to those officers, directors, and employees who
      need access to the Confidential Materials in order so that the Party may
      perform its obligations under this Agreement and to require such persons
      to comply with terms of this Agreement.




 


	7.2.  	
      Exceptions
      to Confidentiality Obligations.
      The obligations of this paragraph 7 shall not apply to any Confidential
      Material which (a) is or becomes available to the public through no breach
      of this Agreement; (b) is independently developed by a Party without the
      use of Confidential Material of the other Party; (c) is approved for
      release by written authorization of the disclosing Party, but only to the
      extent of and subject to such conditions as may be imposed in such written
      authorization; (d) is rightfully received by a Party from a third party
      whom such Party has reasonable grounds to believe is authorized to make
      such disclosure without restriction; (e) is required by law or regulation
      to be disclosed, but only to the extent and for the purposes of such
      required disclosure; or (f) is disclosed in response to a valid order of a
      court or other governmental body of the United States or any political
      subdivisions thereof, but only to the extent of and for the purposes of
      such order; provided, however, that the Party receiving the Confidential
      Material shall first notify the disclosing Party hereto of the order and
      permit the disclosing Party to seek an appropriate protective
      order.

	1.	Operational
      Issues.
      



 

In case
operational issues arise which require the assistance of the other Party to be
resolved, each Party may contact the other Party and each Party commits to a
joint resolution of the issue. Both Parties shall provide and maintain a phone
number, which phone number is set forth in the table below, and which shall be
answered by technical skilled personnel during the business hours which are set
forth in the table below. In the event that DWANGO’s operations center does not
operate 24 hours each day, 7 days a week, DWANGO shall link the phone number
provided below to a pager and shall return NAPSTER’s call(s) no later than 15
minutes after the time the pager message was left by NAPSTER during all hours
outside of the business hours as set forth below for DWANGO. The contact
information below for operational issues is intended solely for communication
between NAPSTER and DWANGO and shall not be provided to third parties. Each
Party shall notify the other Party of any changes to the operations contact
information provided in the operations contact table below ten (10) business
days before such change becomes effective.

 





	2.	Network
      Availability.



 

The
NAPSTER Mobile Entertainment Service shall be available to NAPSTER users a
minimum of 99 % of the time during any 24 hour period, 7 day period, and 30 day
period. Calculation of this availability shall exclude Maintenance Outages but
shall include Unplanned Outages and Emergency Maintenance Outages. Upon
NAPSTER’s request, DWANGO shall provide NAPSTER with a report showing service
availability. 








	3.	Maintenance/Planned
      Outages.
      






DWANGO
shall perform any work which requires the unavailability of the NAPSTER Mobile
Entertainment Service (“Maintenance Outage”) between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM
Pacific Standard Time (the “Maintenance Window”). DWANGO will notify NAPSTER at
least seven days in advance of any planned Maintenance Outage. No more than
eight hours of Maintenance Outages per month may occur.




In the
event the time required to perform such work will unexpectedly exceed the
Maintenance Window DWANGO shall notify NAPSTER at the telephone number set forth
below forty-five (45) minutes before the end of the Maintenance Window, and such
unavailability shall be considered an Unplanned Outage or Emergency Maintenance
Outage.




DWANGO
shall notify NAPSTER at the telephone number set forth below of any material
impairment of the NAPSTER Mobile Entertainment Service (an “Unplanned Outage”)
within thirty (30) minutes after such Unplanned Outage commences. DWANGO shall
provide a short description of the impairment causing the Unplanned Outage (e.g.
service affected, extent of impairment) and a status for resolution.


 

 




















 

 

DWANGO
shall notify NAPSTER at the telephone number set forth below of any required
maintenance beyond Maintenance Outages (“Emergency Maintenance”) forty-five (45)
minutes prior to the start of the Emergency Maintenance. DWANGO shall provide an
estimated timeframe for resolution and a status of such Emergency Maintenance
every two (2) hours until resolved.

	4.	Customer
      Support.
      






The
DWANGO Support Group resides on-site in Seattle, Washington and supports all
customer inquiries related to applications and content.  The typical*
customer support process begins with a call from the customer to the Wireless
Carrier Partner, which acts as the Tier 1 support
agent. If the Wireless Carrier Partner is unable to resolve the issue, it is
forwarded to the DWANGO Support Group (Tier 2
and
Tier
3).

 

Tier
1 (Wireless Carrier Partner): Customer's
initial contact with the Wireless Carrier Partner and information
gathering.  If the support issue is not a quick resolution and is unrelated
to the Wireless Carrier Partner’s network, it is forwarded to Tier
2.

 

Tier
2 (DWANGO): The
support issue is logged into DWANGO's support tracking system and the customer
is contacted for further review.  If the issue is not known and resolvable,
it is forwarded to Tier
3 for
further evaluation and triage.  The customer automatically receives a
full refund or replacement, provided they are not identified as abusing DWANGO’S
goodwill. Tier 2 customer support will be offered by Dwango via telephone from 7
AM to 6 PM PST on normal business days (i.e. excluding weekends and holidays).
Tier 2 customer support during all hours other than the hours identified in the
prior sentence will be available through a dedicated email address and pager
number 

 

Tier
3 (DWANGO): The
product issue is logged in DWANGO’S issue tracking software and
assigned to the appropriate Development team for resolution.  When
a cause is discovered, it is either fixed or declared a known issue and
communicated to the Tier
2 team for
future identification.

 

*
Sometimes the customer will contact Tier
2
directly, at which point the Dwango Support Group will evaluate whether it is a
Wireless Carrier Partner or Dwango related problem and address it
accordingly.
