Ford. In June 2005, we entered into a new agreement with Ford Motor Company and certain of its affiliates, which extends our exclusive relationship until September 2011 or, at Ford’s option, until September 2013. Beginning in January 2009, Ford may elect to become nonexclusive under the agreement, in which case Ford would forfeit its significant future economic benefits. This agreement covers all Ford brands, including Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover, Aston Martin and Mazda. We share with Ford a portion of the revenues we derive from subscribers using Ford vehicles equipped to receive our service. We also reimburse Ford for certain promotional, hardware and development expenses incurred in connection with the inclusion of SIRIUS radios in its vehicles.
