In February 2005, we entered into an agreement with Mitsubishi Motors North America, which establishes an exclusive relationship through February 2010. We share with Mitsubishi a portion of the revenues we derive from subscribers using Mitsubishi vehicles equipped to receive our service. We also reimburse Mitsubishi for certain promotional and hardware expenses incurred in connection with the inclusion of SIRIUS radios in its vehicles.
In January 2006, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, pursuant to which Rolls-Royce will include SIRIUS radios as standard, factory-installed equipment in all of its vehicles through 2008.
