references to such Customer Affiliate. Use of the Services by Customer Affiliates will not increase any MSC set forth in Section 3.1 (e.g., there will not be deemed to be a separate MSC for each Affiliate). Customer, as customer of record,
shall be liable, and may be held accountable by Sprint, for (i) payment for Services delivered to it and Customer Affiliates requesting Services pursuant to the Agreement and (ii) for their separate breaches, if any, of the Agreement.
Customer may, however, delegate to other Customer Affiliates other rights and responsibilities under the Agreement. Customer agrees that it is contractually responsible for the performance of any responsibilities it delegates to any Customer
Affiliate. 

  

	 	2.2	Services.    Sprint provides Services under the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the documents incorporated into it by reference or attachment.
Sprint will provide products and services for Customer as described in the Exhibits. Customer must submit an Order to obtain Services and all Orders will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All Orders submitted by Customer to

caused by the LEC or failure or degradation to access services to the extent caused by a LEC. 

  

	 	C.	Access Services.    Sprint Schedule No. 8 governs the provision of Sprint-provided access Services. When Customer, or Sprint as Customer’s
agent, orders access Services, LEC tariffs may apply. Sprint and Customer each are responsible for their own compliance with LEC tariffs. Access charges for circuits of 0C3 and greater may require a SCA. If Customer terminates Sprint-provided 3rd
party access before the expiration of the Order Term, Early Termination Charges will apply as described in Section 11 

  

	 	2.5	Reserved. 









	 	2.6	Inclusion of Services.

audit Sprint’s records to the extent relevant to the purposes of verifying the accuracy of the fees charges by Sprint under the Agreement. Any such audit will be conducted so as not to unreasonably disrupt Sprint’s operations and upon ten
(10) days prior written notice. Customer and/or Customer’s Affiliates may employ, at their own expense, assistance to conduct an audit, but may not use any entity that provides telecommunications service in competition with Sprint for that
purpose. Any third parties Customer may engage to perform or assist in performing an audit must first sign a nondisclosure agreement covering Sprint confidential information with terms no less protective than those set forth in the Agreement. In
addition, Sprint acknowledges that Customer is a regulated enterprise and that, if Sprint is required by applicable law or regulation, Sprint will allow Customer’s regulators to undertake audits without restriction.


  

	 	B.	Records Retention.     Sprint (including its Affiliates and subcontractors) will retain all records and data relating to the accuracy of invoices issued
under this Agreement for seven (7) years following the date of the invoice. 

  

	 	2.8	Initial Transition.    Customer will provide Sprint with a timetable to transition services from Customer’s existing provider to the Services to be
provided by Sprint. Provided such timetable is consistent with the installation Service Levels, Sprint will transition such services to the Services in accordance with such timetable and will pay such remedies as set forth in the applicable Service
Level Agreements if it fails to meet it. 

  

	 	2.9	Rescheduled Installation Dates.    Customer will have the right to reschedule or delay installation due dates for any particular Services provided that it
pays any charges provided for in Exhibit 3. Sprint will specify expedite and change charges, if any, that will apply to any such services prior to the scheduled due date. 

  

	 	2.10	Optimization and Efficiency. 

  

	 	A.	Review.    Upon Customer’s request (but no more frequently than quarterly), Sprint will perform a cost and efficiency review of the Services and make
recommendations for optimizing Services based on Customer’s usage of particular components of the Services and at a minimum will include comprehensive access (e.g., dedicated vs. switched, voice and data aggregation, etc.). Analysis and
recommendations will be provided to Customer in writing. Sprint will commit to a process, describe the process, and provide sample reports in its response to this section. 









	3.	MINIMUM COMMITMENT 

  

	 	3.1	During year one (1) of the contract Term, Sprint must be Customer’s Preferred Telecommunications Services Provider for at least 70% of its telecommunications

or penalties. 

  

	 	3.2	During year one (1) of the contract Term, Customer will provide Sprint with the Right of First Refusal on any Service that becomes available from alternative providers.

the Services under this Agreement is not competitive with prices offered by alternative carriers, will provide Sprint with a reasonable opportunity to propose new pricing for those Services and will purchase those Services from Sprint as long as the
newly proposed price of the Services is competitive with the pricing offered by alternative carriers.

and 2 during the last three (3) months of Contract Year 1. There are no MMCs under this Exhibit.
	 During Renewal Contract Years    
	 	None

  

	 	3.4	If Customer terminates any Services pursuant to Section 11.3, or if Sprint terminates any Services other than as a result of Customer’s breach, the MTC will be

such requirements, which will not be applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, if terminating any Service components as of the end of the Transition Period would result in Customer paying an Early Termination Fee,
Customer will have the right to keep such Service component in place for such period of time as is necessary such that no Early Termination Fee will be payable, and all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Exhibits will continue to be in
effect, including rates, charges and discounts.

matter, and (c) provide reasonable information and assistance for the claim’s defense. The indemnifying party will retain the right, at its option, to settle or defend the claim, at its own expense and with its own counsel, provided that

participate in the settlement or defense of the claim, with its own counsel and its own expense, but the indemnifying party will retain sole control of the claim’s settlement or defense. To be indemnified, the party seeking indemnification must
not by any admission or acknowledgement made after a Claim is made, materially impair or compromise said Claim’s defense. 

  

	11.	TERM; TERMINATION. 

  

	 	11.1	Term.    The initial term shall be for 36 months (the “Initial Term”). When the Initial Term expires, Customer will have the right in its sole
discretion to renew this Agreement at the then current terms and conditions, including charges, Service Levels and Service Level Credits, for up to three (3) additional one (1) year periods with written notice to Sprint which is received
at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then current Term (each a “Renewal Term”, and with the “Initial Term”, the “Term”). Upon each such renewal the Term will be extended for an additional one (1)
year period. 

  

	 	11.2	Sprint’s Right to Suspend and Terminate. 

  

	 	A.	Sprint will not suspend or terminate any of the Services except as expressly provided in this Section 11.1. 

  

	 	B.	Sprint will have the right to suspend individual Services as follows: 

  

	 	    	1.        Sprint may suspend Services if required by any order of any governmental authority with jurisdiction, provided that Sprint
will provide Customer with as much advance notice as possible under the circumstances; 

  

	 	    	2.        the use of the Services by Customer or End Users violates applicable law or the AUP, provided that Sprint will provide
Customer with at least 30 days advance written notice, with an opportunity to cure, prior to any such suspension; 

  

	 	    	3.        the mis-use of the Services by Customer or End Users will result in material harm to Sprint’s networks (or those of the
Vendor’s third party network providers) provided that Sprint provides Customer with at least 15 days advance written notice, with an opportunity to cure, prior to any such suspension; provided, however, that Sprint may suspend in emergency
circumstances without such notice and cure where (i) the mis-use by Customer or End Users will result in imminent harm including, but not limited to, subjecting Sprint to blacklisting or blocking, (ii) there is no reasonable alternative to
suspension which could mitigate such harm, and (iii) Sprint uses reasonable efforts to inform Customer as far in advance as is practical under the circumstances. 

  

	 	    	In all cases Sprint may only suspend the Services affected and will promptly resume the suspended Services as soon as the issue is resolved. 

  

	 	C.	Sprint will have the right to terminate any affected Services as to which Customer has failed to pay material undisputed charges when due so long as Customer fails to cure
such breach within three (3) days after receipt of written notice from Sprint (which must 









	 	    	state that Sprint intends to terminate such Services if the nonpayment is not cured and must reference this section number expressly). 

  

	 	D.	If Customer fails to cure a breach of Section 13 within 5 days after Sprint’s notice, Sprint may terminate this Agreement or suspend Services.


  

	 	E.	If Customer otherwise materially breaches the Agreement and fails to cure the breach within 30 days after receiving written notice of the breach from Sprint, Sprint may
terminate this Agreement or the affected Service without liability. 

  

	 	F.	Access Early Termination Charges. 

  

	 	1.	If Customer terminates Service having access of D53 or greater bandwidth before the end of the Service Order term, Customer must pay Sprint 75% of the remaining access charges as
follows: 

  

	 	a.	For Customer-provided access, Customer must pay Sprint the EFC and COC MRCs for each month remaining in the Order term; or 

  

	 	b.	For Sprint-provided access, Customer must pay Sprint the local loop MRCs for each month remaining in the Order term. 

  

	 	2.	Except for the access Early Termination Charges on bandwidth of D53 or greater, Sprint will waive the otherwise applicable Early Termination Charges for any Service if Customer
orders a replacement Service of the same or greater bandwidth with a term equal to the greater of: 

  

	 	a.	the Order term remaining on the original Service; or 

  

	 	b.	12 months. 

  

	 	    	Customer must order the replacement Service during the 30 days immediately after termination of the original Service. The replacement Service must be installed within 60 days of the
Order for the replacement Service. Customer must pay the access Early Termination Charges in this Section. even if Customer orders a replacement Service unless the replacement Service is at the same Service location and utilizes the same access
facilities as the terminated Service. 

  

	 	11.3	Termination By Customer Without Cause. 

  

	 	A.	Customer may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause by providing 90 days prior written notice to Sprint and paying Sprint the Early Termination Charge calculated
below. Service will be discontinued the first business day of the fourth month after Sprint receives the termination notice, or such later date as may be designated in the notice of termination. If Customer terminates this Agreement under this
Section 11.3.A., it shall pay Early Termination Charges in accordance with the following table. 

  

			
	 Effective Dare of Termination
	  	Early Termination Charge

	 During Renewal Contract
Years
	  	$25,000









	 	B.	If Sprint materially breaches the Agreement and fails to cure the breach within 30 days after receiving written notice of the breach from Customer, Customer may terminate
this Agreement or the affected Service without liability, including liability for Early Termination Charge. A material breach by Sprint does not include any failure to perform that is due to a failure caused by the LEC to the extent excused pursuant
to Section 2.4(B), or due to a failure caused by customer premise equipment (except to the extent they are included in Sprint’s responsibilities). 

  

	 	C.	If a Force Majeure Event noticeably impedes or prevents Sprint’s provision of any particular Services for a period of thirty (30) days, Customer may immediately
upon written notice to the Sprint terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Services (as well as any other Services that Customer cannot reasonably enjoy the full benefit of as a result of the termination of the Services affected by the
Force Majeure Event). 

  

	 	D.	Chronic Outage.    Any Domestic service for which Sprint fails to meet the guaranteed Network Availability SLA for three consecutive months will be
defined as a “Chronic Problem.” Customer must notify Sprint in writing of a Chronic Problem. Sprint agrees to provide to Customer an action plan with respect to correction of such Chronic Problem within 15 days of receipt of
Customer’s notice. If the Chronic Problem has not been corrected within 45 days after Sprint’s receipt of Customer’s notice, Customer may, within 30 days and upon written notice to Sprint, terminate the affected site.


  

	12.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

  

	    	This Agreement and any information concerning its terms and conditions constitute confidential information governed by the parties’ Nondisclosure Agreement. The term of the
parties’ Nondisclosure Agreement and the obligations contained in it will extend for two years after the termination of all Services under this Agreement except that such obligation will continue to apply to any trade secrets so long as they
continue to be trade secrets under applicable law. Customer and Sprint agree not to disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any third party. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable SOW, all documentation provided by Sprint to
Customer as part of Sprint Plus Services, including but not limited to design, network configuration, pricing, assessment, planning or similar information, will remain Sprint’s proprietary information and be treated as confidential information
subject to the parties’ mutual nondisclosure agreement. Customer agrees not to provide this information to any third party without Sprint’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as authorized by the
parties’ nondisclosure agreement. 

  

	13.	USE OF NAME, SERVICE MARKS, TRADEMARKS, OR TRADE SECRETS 

  

	 	13.1	Name Use.    Subject to exceptions contained in this Agreement, neither party will use the other party’s service marks, trademarks, trade secrets, or

	 	B.	attempt to sell its service using the Sprint name; 

  

	 	C.	represent to End Users or prospective End Users that they will be Sprint customers or that they may obtain Sprint service from Customer; or

	 	14.1	Changes.    Sprint may modify or withdraw Sprint Schedules or the AUP (has been defined) from time to time. Sprint will provide Customer with notice of

terms and conditions will mean the latest version of such Sprint Schedule or Tariff prior to withdrawal. 

  

	15.	FORCE MAJEURE

Personnel. Force Majeure Events include, without limitation: Acts of God (e.g., natural disasters, lightning); wars, riots, terrorist activities, and civil commotions; cable cuts by third- parties; a LEC’s activities (except as otherwise
provided for in Section 2.4(B), explosions and fires; embargoes.

soon as reasonably possible. 

  

	 	15.3	Effect on Charges.    Customer will not be obligated to pay for any Services not received as a result of a Force Majeure Event. If Services are partially
