through license, certain intellectual property and other proprietary technology
for the design, development and manufacture of current and next generation
Receivers (the "ETC Technology"). The preceding sentence shall not be construed

below (including without limitation payment of the License Fee pursuant to
Section 2.4 below and the restrictions set forth in Section 2.3 below), ETC
hereby grants to Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
non-sublicensable, indivisible license (the "License") to use the ETC Technology
that is owned exclusively by ETC and its Affiliates and the ETC Technology that
ETC and its Affiliates have the right to sublicense to Licensee (collectively,
the "Licensed Technology") solely for the purposes of manufacturing ETC
Receivers and Licensee Receivers in strict conformance with ETC Receiver
Specifications (absent prior written agreement by ETC to deviations from the ETC
Receiver Specifications, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld)
and, provided that the parties can agree upon mutually acceptable terms, selling
such ETC Receivers and Licensee Receivers directly to ETC, its Affiliates and
designees; provided that the License to use any ETC Technology that is not owned
exclusively by ETC or its Affiliates shall be subject to the standard terms and
conditions applicable to the disclosure and use of such information, which may
include, among other things, the payment of additional license fees and/or
royalties by the Licensee or ETC as is mutually agreed upon by the parties.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.5

                  2.3.1 Licensee will not be entitled to manufacture any
Licensee Receivers under any third party brand names, without the prior written
consent of ETC and ESC, which consent may be withheld in ETC and ESC's sole
judgment. ETC shall commence delivery of Licensed Technology to Licensee
following payment of the first installment of the License Fee by Licensee. In no
event shall a party be obligated to provide any technology or other information
to another party unless the provision of such technology and information is in
full compliance with applicable laws and regulations of the United States,
including, but not limited to, those relating to the export of technology.

                  2.3.2 Licensee shall not be entitled to use any ETC Technology
for any purpose not expressly set forth in this MOEMMA without ETC's prior
written consent, which consent ETC may withhold in its sole judgment.
Specifically, and without limitation of the foregoing, Licensee shall
manufacture the Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers so that *** absent specific
prior written agreement of the parties to the contrary. In addition, absent
specific prior written agreement of the parties to the contrary, Licensee shall
be expressly prohibited from *** Licensee shall further be prohibited from ***
without ETC's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in ETC's sole
judgment. ETC shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to compile for
Licensee a list of ETC Technology which is proprietary to ETC, provided the
parties recognize such list will not be entirely comprehensive.

                  2.3.3 Licensee shall have no right to grant sublicenses with
respect to the Licensed Technology, without the prior written consent of ETC,
which consent may be withheld in ETC's sole judgment. Licensee may subcontract
the manufacture of Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers upon ETC's prior written
approval of the subcontract manufacturer suggested by Licensee (a "Permitted
Subcontractor"), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee
shall bear full responsibility for all acts and omissions of any Permitted
Subcontractor relating to the manufacture of the Licensee Receivers and ETC
Receivers, to the same extent as if any such act or omission were committed by
Licensee

         2.4 License Fee. In consideration for the License and related technical
assistance to be furnished to Licensee by ETC, effort expended by ETC, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Licensee irrevocably and absolutely agrees to pay to ETC
the amount of *** (the "License Fee"). The License Fee shall be payable in ***
equal installments of *** . The first such installment shall be made and
actually received by ETC on or before *** and each subsequent installment shall
be made and actually received by ETC on the last business day of ***
Notwithstanding any provision of this MOEMMA to the contrary, all installments
shall be paid by Licensee to ETC regardless of whether this MOEMMA has
previously expired or terminated and regardless of the reason for any such
expiration or termination. While it is the intention of the parties to attempt
to negotiate an agreement providing for the permitted sale by Licensee of
various Receivers, a minimum volume commitment from Licensee, and other matters,
unless and until such agreement is finalized and signed by the parties Licensee
shall have no right whatsoever to sell or otherwise distribute any Receivers,
and neither ETC nor ESC shall be obligated to manufacture, sell or deliver any
Smart Cards or Receivers to Licensee or to purchase any Receivers from Licensee.
In the event that for any reason an agreement for the sale by Licensee of
Receivers has not been executed by Licensee, ETC and ESC within sixty (60) days
of the date of this MOEMMA, then notwithstanding anything else in this MOEMMA to
the contrary, this MOEMMA shall terminate. Notwithstanding the above, Licensee
none-the-less hereby acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to pay the ***
Licensee fee is unconditional and absolute regardless of whether an agreement
providing for the permitted sale by Licensee of various Receivers is ever
finalized. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that ETC
and/or any of its Affiliates commences any suit,

action or other proceeding to recover all or any portion of the Licensee Fee,
EchoStar and its Affiliates shall be entitled to recover their costs, expenses
and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection therewith, in addition to
all other sums allowed by law.

         2.5 Smart Cards.

                  2.5.1 Smart Cards. Licensee shall purchase all Smart Cards
necessary to develop and manufacture Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers and to
fulfill its warranty obligations regarding Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers
under the terms of this MOEMMA exclusively from ETC. ETC shall supply Licensee,
at the price specified below, with a float of Smart Cards for use in the
fulfillment of its warranty obligations regarding Licensee Receivers and ETC
Receivers hereunder in a quantity per 1,000 sales of Licensee Receivers and ETC
Receivers to end users that is consistent with ETC's Smart Card warranty
replacement history; provided, however, that ETC shall provide Smart Cards in
excess of that quantity in the event that Licensee can adequately justify its
need therefore for use in the fulfillment of its warranty obligations regarding
Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers hereunder. ETC shall supply Licensee with
such additional quantity of Smart Cards, at the price specified below, as ETC
following consultation with Licensee determines is reasonably necessary for use
in the development of Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers. Licensee
acknowledges and agrees that Smart Cards are only being made available to
Licensee under this Section 2.5.1 in order for Licensee to develop and
manufacture Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers and to fulfill its reasonable
warranty obligations regarding Licensee Products and ETC Receivers under the
terms of this MOEMMA. In view of the potential for a subscriber to defraud ESC
by improperly obtaining a replacement Smart Card under a false warranty claim,
Licensee agrees that it will not use Smart Cards provided by ETC under this
Section 2.5.1 for any purpose whatsoever other than to develop and manufacture
Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers and to fulfill its warranty obligations
regarding Licensee Products and ETC Receivers under the terms of this MOEMMA.
Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to Smart Cards that
have been lost, end users must purchase replacement Smart Cards directly from
ETC (or such other entity as ETC may designate from time to time in writing)
subject to such terms and conditions and at such prices as ETC may determine
from time to time in its sole judgment. Specifically but not by limitation,
under no circumstances shall Licensee sell Smart Cards other than a single Smart
Card integrated with the manufacture of each Licensee Receiver and each ETC
Receiver without prior written consent or direction from ETC. Licensee agrees to
provide ETC with a written report matching the identification number of each
replacement Smart Card with the serial number of the Licensee Receiver or ETC
Receiver, as the case may be, into which it is installed prior to returning the
Licensee Receiver or ETC Receiver, as the case may be, to the end-user. In
addition, Licensee shall notify ETC of the disposition and identification number
of all Smart Cards that Licensee has replaced but not returned to ETC within two
(2) business days of such replacement.

                  2.5.2 Subject to Section 2.5.1 above, ETC agrees to supply
Smart Cards to Licensee to manufacture or have manufactured ETC Receivers and
Licensee Receivers at the price of *** per Smart Card.

                  2.5.3 Subject to Section 2.5.1 above, ETC agrees to supply
Smart Cards to Licensee to: (i) develop ETC Receivers and Licensee Receivers,
and (ii) perform or have performed warranty repair of Licensee Receivers and ETC
Receivers at the initial price of *** per Smart Card. ***

within *** of the date of this MOEMMA. Notwithstanding the above, Licensee shall
not be obligated to include *** provided that Licensee shall be obligated to

ETC Receivers meeting ETC's quality and compatibility standards; *** Licensee
shall have no right whatsoever to affix any Licensee branding or other marks to
ETC Receivers without ETC's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld
in ETC's sole judgment.

                  2.6.3 Except as expressly set forth to the contrary herein,
the purchase of ETC Receivers and Licensee Receivers by ETC under this Section
2.6 shall be subject to Licensee's standard OEM supply terms and conditions,
including but not limited to warranty, lead time/forecasting and support, and
such additional terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the parties in the
Definitive Agreement. Licensee will only be authorized to sell ETC Receivers and
Licensee Receivers to ETC and such other persons and entities as ETC may approve
from time to time in writing in ETC's sole judgment.

                  2.6.4 All invoices to ETC hereunder shall be payable, in
immediately available funds, within *** from the date of invoice, which shall be
issued no earlier than the ship date for the ETC Receivers and/or Licensee
Receivers covered by the invoice.

         2.7 Responsibilities. Licensee shall be solely responsible for the
manufacture of the Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, ETC shall provide Licensee with a reasonable amount of technical
assistance from ETC relating to the development, manufacture and testing of the
Licensee Receivers and ETC Receivers, particularly as relates to the Licensed
Technology.

         2.8 Expenses/Intellectual Property Ownership. All costs and expenses
incurred by a party in connection with the manufacture and sale of the Licensee
Receivers and the ETC Receivers shall be the sole responsibility of such party.
Each party shall solely own any intellectual party developed solely by such
party. The respective rights of the parties to any derivative works,
enhancements and modifications of any technology supplied by the other party
shall be mutually agreed upon in the Definitive Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Licensee shall be solely responsible for any and all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with any non-recurring expenses (NREs)
associated with equipping Licensee's factory with the necessary tooling for such
activities.

         2.9 Serial Numbers and Smart Card Numbers. For the purpose of
facilitating the activation of programming for Licensee Receivers and ETC
Receivers by ESC, Licensee will provide ESC with a list, on paper and electronic
media in the format acceptable to ESC, which includes the serial number of each
Licensee Receiver and ETC Receiver and the corresponding Smart Card number for
each Licensee Receiver and ETC Receiver prior to delivery to ETC, its Affiliates
or its designee.

         2.10 Written Materials. Licensee agrees that it will include within the
consumer packaging for each Licensee Receiver and ETC Receiver, at Licensee's
sole cost and expense (except that ETC shall be responsible for providing such
items to Licensee or reimbursing Licensee for the direct costs of printing such
items), copies of such written materials as ETC then currently includes within
the consumer packaging for substantially similar Receivers packaged by or on
behalf of ETC and its Affiliates. Licensee agrees to include such written
materials in the same manner as the then-current method used to include such
written materials with each substantially similar Receiver packaged by or on
behalf of ETC and its Affiliates, as such method may change from time to time in
ETC's sole judgment. The Licensee may include within the consumer packaging for
each Licensee Receiver, at Licensee's sole expense inclusive of direct material
costs, promotional material relevant to Licensee's business which is
non-conflicting with ETC's business, subject to ETC's approval not to be
unreasonably withheld.

         2.11 Call Center Costs. In the event that the proportion of problem
calls received by or on behalf of ESC with respect to a particular model
Licensee Receiver or ETC Receiver, as the case may be, is noticeably greater
than the proportion of problem calls received by or on behalf of ESC with
respect to the Receiver model manufactured by or on behalf of ETC performing
substantially similar functions as the relevant model Licensee Product or ETC
Product, as the case may be, then Licensee agrees to promptly review the problem
with ETC and to jointly establish a corrective course of action to correct the
root cause of the problem ***

         2.12 Software and Other Changes. In the event Licensee is notified in a
timely manner of the need to effect software or other changes to ETC or Licensee
Receivers as a result of system or similar changes initiated by ETC or ESC, but
Licensee does not effect such changes within substantially the same time period
as ETC implements changes to its Receivers generally for the applicable
change(s), and if as a result of such failure to implement the change(s) the
proportion of problem calls received by or on behalf of ESC with respect to
particular models of Licensee or ETC Receivers is noticeably greater than the
proportion of problem calls received by or on behalf of ESC with respect to the
Receiver models manufactured by or on behalf of ETC performing substantially
similar functions, ***

         2.13 Warranty.

                           (a) Licensee shall warrant to each end-user of a
Licensee Receiver that such Licensee Receiver will be free from defects in
materials and workmanship (labor and parts) for a period of *** from the date of
activation of the relevant Licensee Receiver by such end-user. In addition,
Licensee will provide ***

Receivers, such refusal shall constitute a breach of this MOEMMA, and in
addition to any other remedies available to ETC (including without limitation
termination of this MOEMMA pursuant to Section 3.2(ii)), ETC shall be entitled
to service and repair such Licensee Receivers and charge Licensee at its
standard rates for such service and repair. In the event that the defined path
for servicing Licensee Receivers is through direct return to the Licensee, and
not ETC, then ETC agrees to minimize the errant return of Licensee Receivers to
ETC through substantially the same methods ETC utilizes to minimize the errant
return of other Receivers not manufactured by ETC. In the event Licensee
