Once the Volume Customer Tier in the Subsequent Year exceeds the last Volume Customer Tier of the Previous Year, OEM payments to Commtouch will be reduced pursuant to the chart in section A1 above. At the end of each Subsequent Year the parties shall calculate the final Volume Customer Tier of such year (the “Yearly Tier”) and if the Yearly Tier is lower than the Previous Year’s Yearly Tier, OEM shall pay Commtouch the deference between the Previous Year Yearly Tier and the current Yearly Tier.

For example (any pre-paid sums should be reduced from the following):

a.

Scenario 1: 2005 ends with 80,000 users. OEM pays Commtouch as follows: (25,000 * $2.65) + (50,000 * $2.00) + (5,000 * $1.80), or a total sum of  $175,250. 2006 ends with 200,000 users. OEM pays Commtouch as follows: (175,000 * $1.80) + (25,000 * $1.55) or a total sum of $353,750.

b.

Scenario 2: 2005 ends with 200,000 users. OEM pays Commtouch as follows: (25,000 * $2.65) + (50,000 * $2.00) + (100,000 * $1.80) + (25,000 * $1.55), or a total sum of $385,000. 2006 ends with 50,000 users. OEM pays Commtouch as follows: (50,000 * 2.00), or a total sum of $100,000

c.

Scenario 3: 2005 ends with 20,000 users. OEM pays Commtouch the minimum sum due.

A3. OEM commits to paying Commtouch for at least 25,000 customers for the 1st year, irrespective of whether OEM has been successful in its collections efforts.

A4. OEM is required to provide to Commtouch complete and accurate reports of the number of Customers during each calendar month under this Agreement. In the event of a 60 days delinquency of a Customer, Commtouch shall be entitled to discontinue the service to such non paying Customers. Notwithstanding the method of payment offered by OEM to Customer, whether upfront or by installments, OEM will pay Commtouch the annual fee upon its first collection of fees from each customer.
