Products purchased during the Term less any discounts and incentives, and the prices Customer would have paid if Customer had not committed to purchase PCS CDMA System Products exclusively from Vendor during the Term. The prices Customer would have
paid will be calculated using Customer’s standard discount rate as provided in Attachment G; and (iv) Section 1.4(c) does not apply.

any charges charged by Vendor’s subcontractors or suppliers for early termination or suspension and the cost of removing and reshipping any material, products or Licensed Materials from Customer’s sites. In addition for any
suspension of work, not caused by Vendor’s uncured breach of the Agreement, any additional costs to Vendor occasioned by the stoppage and subsequent resumption of performance shall be Customer’s responsibility, and Vendor will be allowed a
reasonable extension of time to complete its obligations.

or suit by a third party against Customer alleging that a Product or Software furnished by Vendor (including, without limitation, both Vendor and third party Software) infringes any US (i) patent, (ii) copyright, or (iii) trade
secret, Vendor will defend Customer, will reimburse Customer for any cost, expense or attorneys’ fees incurred at Vendor’s written request or authorization and will indemnify Customer against any liability assessed against Customer in a
final judgment on account of such infringement or violation arising out of such use. The preceding obligations are conditioned upon Customer giving Vendor prompt written notice of the claim and information, reasonable assistance, and sole authority
to defend and to settle the claim. In the defense or settlement of a claim, Vendor shall, in its reasonable judgment, and at its option and expense: (i) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the Product or Software, or
(ii) replace or modify the Product or Software so that it becomes non-infringing. If none of the foregoing options is practical, Vendor shall use reasonable commercial best efforts to promptly inform Customer and Vendor will remove the enjoined
Product or Software and refund the amount paid to Vendor for the infringing materials, less a reasonable charge for any actual period of use by Customer. Vendor shall not be liable to Customer under this section to the extent that any infringement
or claim (i) arises from use of the Product or Software in combination with equipment or software not supplied or authorized by Vendor or (ii) arises from adherence to design modifications, specifications, drawings, or written instructions
which Vendor is directed by Customer to follow, but only if such alleged infringement or violation does not reside in corresponding commercial Product or Software of Vendor’s design or selection or (iii) arises from modifications of the
Product or Software not made by or authorized by Vendor which, if not made, the Product or Software would not be infringing or (iv) resides in a Product or Software which is not of Vendor’s origin and which is furnished by Customer to
Vendor for use under this Agreement; or (v) arises from adherence to instructions to apply Customer’s trademark, trade name, or other company identification. In the foregoing cases numbered (i) through (v), Customer shall defend and
indemnify Vendor, subject to the same terms and conditions and exceptions stated above with respect to Vendor’s rights and obligations under this clause. 
 The foregoing states Vendor’s entire obligation, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, with respect to any claim of infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property or
proprietary right which a third party may have against Customer.

than ten (10) business days after a Party serves notice to use the procedure set forth in this clause. If the matter cannot be resolved by such senior executives, the neutral advisor, if one has been agreed upon, may be asked to assist such
senior executives in evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each Party’s position on the merits of their dispute. The Parties shall each bear their respective costs incurred in connection with the procedure set forth in this clause, except
that they shall share equally the fees and expenses of the neutral advisor, if any, and the cost of the facility for the hearing. 
  

	1.35	UNPLANNED OUTAGES 

 For the purposes of this
section, a “Critical Fault” means any unplanned system outage which results in the unavailability, during normal commercial service, of more than ten percent (10%) of the call processing capability of a Product or Software that is a
major network element, and which is due to failure of Vendor’s Products and Software obtained from and installed by Vendor to conform to their Specifications. Events or activities outside of or beyond Vendor’s control, including commercial
or generator power failures or events of Force Majeure, shall not be deemed to be a Critical Fault. Vendor planned events such as maintenance and upgrade activities are excluded from Critical Faults to the extent that the time for such planned event
does not exceed Customer’s agreed to maintenance window. 
 During the applicable warranty period for the affected major network
element, and provided that the affected element is covered by a maintenance program, for each single occurrence of a Critical Fault of a major network element, to the extent caused solely by Vendor or Vendor’s Products or Software, Vendor shall
credit Customer towards future purchases (or licenses) of Vendor’s Products or Licensed Materials using the method for calculating such credit as described below: 
 Determine exact duration of the Critical Fault outage in minutes (hereinafter referred to as the “Critical Fault Duration” or “CFD”). The CFD shall start upon Customer’s notification of such
unplanned outage to Vendor and shall continue until the Critical Fault ceases. Excluded from the CFD shall be the travel time of Customer’s maintenance personnel when travel is necessary to reach a defective Major Network Element. 

Calculate Lost Minutes of Use: Using Customer data for the same time of day or night as the CFD occurred during the three weeks prior to
the Critical Fault, derive the average number of minutes that the affected Major Network Element was in use during such periods. Hereinafter this will be referred to as “Average Minutes of Use” or “AMOU’s”. 

  

 21 









 Contract No. LNM070600KAR 
  

 The billable rate for AMOU’s is Four Cents ($.04) (hereinafter referred to as the “Billable
Rate” or “BR”). 
 Customer and Vendor will mutually agree on the percentage of call processing impact within
two (2) weeks after the occurrence of a Critical Fault (hereinafter referred to as “Call Processing Impact” or “CPI”). 
 Formula for calculating credit owed to customer: 
 AMOU’s x BR x CPI = Credit Owed to Customer 
 When a Critical Fault is due to errors jointly attributable to Customer and Vendor, any credits owed shall be reduced by the percentage of responsibility
attributable to Customer and by the amount of Vendor’s expenses associated with resolving that portion of the Critical Fault attributable to Customer. 
 In the event that data is not available to calculate the credit owed for a Critical Fault, Customer and Vendor will work in good faith to mutually agree in writing on an alternative method for calculating the credit
due customer. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if Customer fails to purchase and maintain the Software Updates,
no damages shall apply. Furthermore, Vendor’s cumulative liability for all Critical Faults that occur during each year of the term of this Agreement shall be limited to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). Credits not used before the
expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be null and void. Customer’s exclusive remedy, and Vendor’s entire liability, for damages related to Critical Faults shall be the credits described above. 
 Customer shall give Vendor prompt written notice of any claim. Any action or proceeding against Vendor must be brought within 24 months after the cause
of action accrues. 
  

	1.36	CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS 

 Customer represents
and warrants that it is buying the Products and licensing the Software for its own internal use and not for resale. Customer acknowledges that the transfer and use of Products, Software, and technical information and the performance of Services
outside the United States are subject to U.S. export laws and regulations. Customer shall not use, distribute, transfer, or transmit the Products, Software, or technical information (even if incorporated into other products) except in compliance
with U.S. export laws and regulations. At Vendor’s request, Customer shall sign written assurances and other export-related documents as may be required for Vendor to comply with U.S. export regulations.
