Washington, D.C.n 20037 Re: Microsoft/CAIS collaboration on IPORT market trials Dear Ulysses: This letter of agreement ("LOA") will confirm the agreement and understanding of CAIS, Inc.("CAIS") and Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft") (collectively, the "Parties", and singly, a "Party"), with respect to their collaboration (the "Relationship") in sponsoring the beta trials of Atcom, Inc.'s ("Atcom") high speed internet access project, commonly referred to as IPORT (the "Market Trials"). The Parties acknowledge that each is working with Atcom, under separate contractual arrangements, with respect to certain other elements of the Market Trials. In addition to the Parties' independent commitments to collaborate with Atcom regarding the Market Trials through their respective technological and implementational commitments, Microsoft and CAIS each shall contribute the following additional resources in an effort to successfully implement the Market Trials. A. Microsoft's Role. Microsoft's role in the Relationship includes the following: 1. Microsoft has made a significant financial contribution toward the overall project costs of implementing the Market Trials. 2. Microsoft has agreed to work with Atcom to license certain software and other intellectual property rights to Atcom for use in connection with the Market Trials. Microsoft and Atcom are separately negotiating such license and other terms. 3. Microsoft has agreed to contribute significant marketing and promotional services as an in-kind contribution toward the implementation of the Market Trials. Such contributions include advertising and marketing services, financial contributions toward marketing and promotional costs, corporate marketing efforts and related efforts. Microsoft shall take the lead role in marketing the Market Trials. 4. Microsoft shall, as it deems appropriate, include and reference OverVoice in future IPORT white papers, marketing and other materials as a co-sponsor of the Market Trials. Following completion of the Market Trials, Microsoft would, as it deems appropriate, promote CAIS's OverVoice system as one of a limited number of solutions through which the IPORT system may be available to hotels. 5. Microsoft has also agreed to contribute certain computer and networking equipment to be used in the physical Market Trial locations.
