Number, Inc. (“Purchaser”) dated August 2, 2002, as amended (collectively the
“Agreement”). The following modified and added terms and conditions will be and
are made a part of the Agreement commencing on the first day following the
execution of this Ninth Amendment by Sprint and Purchaser (“Ninth Amendment
Commencement Date”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment are defined
in the Agreement.

 

1. [***]

 

End Users that are on [***] Price Plans as of March 31, 2005 will be allowed to
remain on such [***] Price Plans until their Private Label Service is
terminated, cancelled, or such End Users change price plans.

 

For End Users on the [***] Price Plan as of March 31, 2005, Purchaser must
either (a) move them to the [***] Price Plan (as described in Section 2.15 to
Schedule 1.0 below), or (b) [***] by 5:00 pm CT, May 31, 2005. If Purchaser
fails to take either action set forth in this paragraph by 5:00 pm CT, May 31,
2005, Sprint will [***].

 

2. The fourth sentence of Section 7.2 of the Agreement is deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Payment for each invoice is due by wire transfer within 20 days of the date of
Purchaser’s receipt of the invoice and the magnetic billing tape or other
billing record (“Due Date”).

 

3. Section 7.3 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

 

  7.3 Late Payments; [***]

 

For amounts not disputed in good faith and not paid by the Due Date, Purchaser
will pay a late payment charge as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The applicable late payment interest rate will be applied from the first day the
payment was due for the entire amount that is past due for that period of time.
For instance, an amount that is past due for 90 days will be subject to the 2.5%
late payment charge for each month the payment was past due.

 

Purchaser shall receive an [***] off the total amount due under each invoice,
for each invoice that it pays in full (less any amounts disputed in good faith)
at least 10 days prior to the Due Date. The [***] will not apply to disputed
amounts.

 

4. Section 9.2 is amended to add the following Subsection 9.2.3:

 

  9.2.3 Blocking Roaming

 

Purchaser may request that Sprint block Roaming for all End Users. If Purchaser
requests this, Sprint will remove all Roaming switches from the list of switches
permitted to complete calls for Purchaser’s End Users. Due to transmission
limitations described in Section 6.2.1(ii) of the Agreement, if a Roaming switch
does not receive a ‘deny access’ response from the Sprint Network and such
Roaming switch is programmed so that no response from the Sprint Network means
that it will allow the call to proceed on the Roaming switch, a Roaming switch
may complete a Roaming call for an End User(s). In such case, Purchaser will be
liable for Roaming charges at the rate set forth in Schedule 1.0.

 

5. Section 2.4 in Schedule 1.0 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

 

  2.4 Automatic Roaming Charges

 

  2.4.1 Standard Automatic Roaming Charges

 

       If Sprint provides automatic Roaming to Purchaser, Sprint will charge
Purchaser a domestic Roaming rate of [***] per minute [***].

 

       International roaming rates will be quoted and billed on a country or
region specific basis. International roaming rates are subject to revision by
Sprint upon notice to Purchaser.

 

  2.4.2 Automatic Roaming Charges If Sprint Blocks Roaming

 

       If Sprint blocks Roaming pursuant to Section 9.2.2 of the Agreement,
Sprint will [***] for Roaming calls completed on a Roaming switch.

 

       International roaming rates will be quoted and billed on a country or
region specific basis. International roaming rates are subject to revision by
Sprint upon notice to Purchaser.

 

6. Schedule 1.0 to the Agreement is amended to add the following Subsection
2.15:

 

  2.15 [***] Price Plan

 

  A. Purchaser may activate End Users under the new price plan set forth in
subsection 2.15 (B) below (the “[***] Price Plan”), beginning on the first
billing cycle that is at least 20 days following the Ninth Amendment
Commencement Date. However, effective April 1, 2005, Purchaser must activate all
End Users under the [***] Price Plan.

 

  B. Sprint will charge Purchaser (i) the [***] detailed below for each MIN
activated on the [***] Price Plan, and (ii) the associated [***] set forth below
for each MIN’s [***] of voice PCS Service. The [***] rate includes [***].
Purchaser will be charged the rates set forth in Section 2.6.3 above for
international toll calls. Per call charges may be rounded to the nearest whole
[***].
