not less than ninety million five hundred thousand dollars ($90,500,000.00USD)
(“Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment”). With respect to the Amendment No. 3
Volume Commitment, Owner will not have failed to satisfy such commitment to the
extent that Owner is unable to satisfy such commitment as a result of any of the
following: (i) Vendor’s non-acceptance of any purchase order: (A) issued by
Owner or an Affiliate under this Contract that complies with the terms and
conditions of this Contract, or (B) issued by an Affiliate under an Approved
Affiliate Contract that would be eligible to be credited toward the Amendment
No. 3 Volume Commitment pursuant to Section 3.7(d); provided that, Owner, an
Affiliate under this Contract or an Affiliate under an Approved Affiliate
Contract, is not in arrears in its payments obligations under the respective
contract and is not in material breach of such respective contract;
(ii) Vendor’s failure to timely deliver the products in accordance with the
delivery intervals set forth in the applicable contract as described in the
preceding; (iii) the products failing to substantially conform to the applicable
specifications and either Owner, an Affiliate under this Contract or an
Affiliate under an Approved Affiliate Contract, has elected to reject such
products on the basis of such non-conformance; or (iv) payments for products or
services are not yet due and payable pursuant to applicable payment terms of the
respective purchase contract with Vendor. Notwithstanding the preceding, in the
event Vendor does not accept or rejects a purchase order due to product
unavailability or manufacture discontinue, Owner shall not be excused from the
Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment if Vendor has made available for purchase
under the applicable contract a “Substitute Product” that can be used by such
purchaser in place of the unavailable or discontinued product with no additional
costs related to other additional hardware or software additions or changes, if
any, required to achieve at least equivalent operation, except for additional
hardware or software additions or changes related to optional functionality,
capacity or features used by such purchaser. A “Substitute Product” is a product
with at least equivalent functionality, no greater price (other than price
increases related solely to optional functionality, capacity or features used by
the purchaser), and comparable lead time, as the functionality, price and
standard lead time, respectively, of the unavailable or

discontinued product. In the event Owner fails to satisfy such Amendment No. 3
Volume Commitment prior to the end of the Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment
Term, Vendor may invoice Owner in an amount equal to *** of the amount of the
Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment that remains unsatisfied. Such invoice shall
be due and payable thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt. Owner’s full payment
of such invoiced amount for the unsatisfied Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment
shall be Vendor’s sole remedy with respect to such failure by Owner to satisfy
the Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment, and any such failure to satisfy the
Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment for which such payment has been made shall not
be a breach of this Contract.
(b) Prior to the end of the Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment Term, Owner may
purchase Product and/or Service credits in an amount equal to ***, subject to
the following. The cumulative total of Product and/or Service credits that may
be purchased by Owner pursuant to this Section shall not exceed ***. Any such
Product and/or Service credits so purchased shall be deemed to apply towards
Owner’s satisfaction of the Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment. Product and/or
Service credits must be used within *** from the date such Product and/or
Service credits were purchased, after which such Product and/or Service credits
***.
(c) All purchases by Affiliates under this Contract shall be credited toward the
Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment.
(d) Solely for purposes of determining whether Owner has satisfied the Amendment
No. 3 Volume Commitment, all purchases by Affiliates of the same types of Vendor
products and services under Approved Affiliate Contracts shall be credited
toward the Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment, except to the extent of any such
Affiliate purchases made toward satisfaction of any separate purchase commitment
to Vendor in the Approved Affiliate Contract. All purchases by any Affiliate
under an Approved Affiliate Contract shall first be applied to such Affiliate’s
own purchase commitments to Vendor, if any, in such Approved Affiliate Contract,
and after satisfaction of such Affiliate purchase commitments, all amounts for
purchases by the Affiliate under the Approved Affiliate Contract shall be
credited toward the Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment. Owner shall provide
Vendor with a one-time ninety (90) day advance written notice per Affiliate of
its intent to have any such Approved Affiliate Contract purchases credited
toward satisfaction of the Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment.”
(e) In the event that, at any time or from time to time, Owner acquires or is
acquired by (by merger, purchase of all stock or other equity interests, or
purchase of substantially all assets with an assignment of this Contract or the
Affiliate Contract to the acquiror, as applicable) any Affiliate that has a
volume purchase commitment to Vendor for the purchase of the same types of
Vendor products and services in an Approved Affiliate Contract, then Owner may
elect to combine the volume purchase commitments of Owner under this Contract
and the Affiliate under the Approved Contract such that the aggregate purchases
by Owner and such Affiliate under the terms of their respective contracts with
Vendor will be

credited against the combined volume purchase commitment, and each of the
Owner’s and such acquired Affiliate’s volume purchase commitment will be deemed
to be satisfied if the combined volume purchase commitment is satisfied.

8.   Add a new Section 3.8 (Requirements Commitment) to the Contract as follows:

“3.8 Requirements Commitment. During the Amendment No. 3 Volume Commitment Term,
Owner commits to purchase/license, and Vendor commits to sell/license, Vendor

Markets (excluding Owner’s *** markets) in the minimum configurations and
associated prices as set forth in the “Initial Build Out” sections of Exhibits
A03 and A04 to the Contract, attached hereto. All purchases for any New
Amendment No. 3 Markets by Affiliates, if any, of the same types of Vendor
products and services as provided in Exhibits A03 and A04 shall be considered in
determining whether this commitment is satisfied. Owner shall provide Vendor
with a one-time ninety (90) day advance written notice per Affiliate of its
intent to have any such Approved Affiliate Contract purchases credited toward
satisfaction of this commitment.

9.   Delete Section 5.3 (Payment) in its entirety and replace with the
following:

“5.3 Payment.
(a) Unless Vendor requires payment in advance as described herein below, Vendor
shall invoice Owner as follows:
     (i) With respect to Purchase Orders for *** for Initial Build-Outs only,
Vendor shall invoice Owner in accordance with the following schedule: (A) ***;

*** of the *** upon satisfactory completion of mutually agreed to acceptance
test criteria of each of the four (4) payment-affecting acceptance test
criteria. Section 5.5 of the Contract shall not apply to ***.
     (ii) With respect to Purchase Orders, or portions thereof, ***, Vendor will
invoice Owner ***, and ***.
     (iii) ***. Invoiced amounts, less good faith disputed amounts, are due and
payable within *** from Owner’s receipt of the invoice. Invoicing disputes must
be identified in writing within *** of Owner’s receipt of the applicable
invoice, provided however that this sentence shall not prejudice in any way
Owner’s right to later dispute amounts improperly billed (e.g., double billings,
bills in excess of the agreed price, etc.). Any disputed amounts that are
determined to be validly billed are due for payment ***. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event of non-payment of an
undisputed invoice after the respective due date, ***. Owner shall pay interest
on any late payments at the rate of *** per annum (*** per month).

(b) Effective as of the effective date of Amendment No. 3, Owner grants to
Vendor a first priority purchase money security interest (“PMSI”) in all
Products hereafter sold, delivered, provided and/or licensed by Vendor to Owner
under this Contract, and Owner agrees to reasonably cooperate with Vendor in the
perfection of such security interest, provided that Vendor shall be solely
responsible for the preparation and filing of any documentation required to
effect such perfection. Vendor shall further promptly take all required actions
to terminate such perfected security interest on record as required by
applicable law. The PMSI so granted in each Product shall solely secure payment
for such Product and shall automatically terminate upon Vendor’s receipt of
payment in full for such Product and no PMSI shall continue or attach to any
Product or other good sold to Owner for which Vendor has received such payment
in full. Owner authorizes Vendor to file financing or continuation statements,
including amendments thereto, relating to the PMSI, and Products encumbered
thereby, without the signature of Owner where permitted by law.”

10.   Add the following provisions to the end of Section 8.1 (Transportation):

“Wireless switch and switch-related Products shall be shipped to the
installation site(s) per the applicable Purchase Order or as instructed by
Owner, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to an alternate Owner
initial delivery location. Shipment of such Products to any such alternate
location may result in additional costs to Owner. Other wireless Products shall
be shipped to Owner’s designated initial delivery location. Owner shall be
responsible for the coordination of delivery arrangements and for freight,
insurance, handling and any other applicable transportation and handing charges
incurred in moving delivered Products from Owner’s initial delivery location to
the installation sites as required to comply with project schedule dates.”

11.   Delete Section 10.1 (Acceptance Procedures) in its entirety and replace it

agreed to in writing by the parties and in accordance with its published
Specifications. Upon successful completion of such acceptance tests or Owner’s

accordance with Section 5.5 (In-Revenue Payments), except that with respect to
*** such commercial service shall not be deemed acceptance.”

its entirety with the following:

“(i.e., capability to move Software from site to site on prior notice to Vendor,
