	 	9.1.6	 	Company represents, warrants and covenants that it shall immediately notify Verizon Wireless
if it receives a request from a foreign government, entity or individual for access to or
disclosure of any telecommunications or subscriber related
information whatsoever. Company further represents, warrants and covenants that it shall not provide such
access or disclosure without the express written consent of the DOJ or the authorization of a
court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States.

	 
	 	9.1.7	 	Company represents and warrants to Verizon Wireless that the Company software and
Company systems do not contain or will not contain any Self-Help Code or any
Unauthorized Code (defined below) that will allow unauthorized access to or infection of
Verizon Wireless systems. Company shall remove promptly any such Self-Help Code or
Unauthorized Code in the Company software of which it is notified or may discover. Company
shall indemnify Verizon Wireless against any loss or expense arising out of any breach of this
warranty.

	 
	 	 	 	As used in this Agreement, “Self-Help Code” means any back door, “time bomb”, drop dead
device, or other software routine designed to disable a computer program automatically with the
passage of time or under the positive control of a person other than a licensee of the program.
Self-Help Code does not include software routines in a computer program, if any, designed to
permit the licenser of the computer program (or other person acting
by authority of the licensor) to obtain access to a licensee’s computer system(s) (e.g., remote access
via modem) for purposes of maintenance or technical support. As used in this Agreement,
“Unauthorized Code” means any virus, Trojan horse, worm, or
any other software routines or
hardware components designed to permit unauthorized access to disable, erase, or otherwise harm
software, hardware, or data or to perform any other such actions. The
term Unauthorized Code does
not include Self-Help Code.

	 
	 	9.1.8	 	Company also represents and warrants that there are no copy protection or similar mechanisms
within the Company software, which will, either now or in the future, interfere with the
grants made in this Agreement. Furthermore, Company represents and
warrants unless (i)

(ii) Company advises Verizon Wireless in writing that it is
necessary to perform valid duties under this Agreement and authorized
in writing by Verizon Wireless, Company software and
Company systems shall: (a) contain no hidden files; (b) not replicate, transmit or activate
themselves and any software without control of an authorized person operating computer
equipment on which it resides; (c) not alter, damage or erase any data or computer programs
without control of an authorized person operating the computer equipment on which they reside;
and (d) contain no encrypted imbedded key, node lock, time out or other function, whether
implemented by electronic, mechanical or other means, which restricts or may restrict use or
access to any programs or data developed under this Agreement, based on residency on a
specific hardware configuration, frequency of duration of use, of other limiting criteria
(collectively “Illicit Code”). Should any Company software and Company systems have any of the
foregoing attributes, and notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Agreement to the
contrary, Company shall be in default of this Agreement, and no cure period shall apply. It is
agreed that a breach of the above representation and warranty will cause irreparable harm and injury
and Verizon Wireless shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may
have at law or in equity, to an injunction enjoining and restraining Company from doing or
continuing to do any such act and any other violations or threatened violations of the
Agreement. In addition to any other remedies available to it under this Agreement, Verizon
Wireless reserves the right to pursue civil and/or criminal penalties available to it against
the Company.

arises or is alleged to arise out of the sole acts or omissions of the Company
(and/or any subcontractor of Company) or out of the concurrent acts or omissions of Company (and/or any subcontractor of Company) and any
Indemnified Parties. Company will not be required to indemnify Verizon Wireless in
respect of Claims arising solely from Verizon Wireless’ negligence, willful
misconduct, infringement or provision to Company for use in its Services false, or
