ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF VENDOR’S EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES,
CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, AND THEIR EMPLOYEES SHALL ALSO BE DEEMED THE ACTS
OR OMISSIONS OF VENDOR.

WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS THAT GOVERN (1) THE SECURITY, COLLECTION, ACCESS, USE
AND DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER DATA (2) DIRECT-MARKETING OF ANY FORM; AND (3)

CONSULT WITH NEXTEL AND ITS COUNSEL AS TO SUCH DISCLOSURE AND THE NATURE AND
WORDING OF ITS DISCLOSURE.

UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER DATA.  VENDOR SHALL MAKE ALL
REASONABLE EFFORTS TO ASSIST NEXTEL IN RELATION TO THE INVESTIGATION AND REMEDY

PROCEEDING OR LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THE UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR
