NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby,
agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. 
 A. Affiliates. As used in
this Agreement, a person, association, partnership, corporation or joint-stock company, trust, or other business entity, however organized, is an “Affiliate” of the person or entity which directly or indirectly, through one or more

Services”) in the Territory; and (ii) to otherwise practice and use any method or invention claimed in or covered by the Licensed Patents, as well as any associated know- how of Licensee’s employees (the “Know-How”), for the
purpose of making, having made, using, selling, having sold, offering for sale and importing the Goods and Services in the Territory. Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses of its license rights hereunder to resellers, vendors, agents,

“Infringement”), such party shall promptly provide the other with written notice thereof. 
 4. Term. This Agreement shall continue from the date
hereof until the date of expiration or invalidation of the last to expire or be invalidated of the Licensed Patents (or if any Licensed Patent has not issued at that time, upon the abandonment of such unissued Licensed Patent). Licensee may

provided, made, used, sold or otherwise disposed of under the license granted in this Agreement is or will be free from infringement of patents of third parties; or

 11. Parties in Interest; Assignment; Successor. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the license rights granted to Licensee hereunder shall not be assigned, sublicensed, transferred, conveyed or pledged by

 12. Severability; Enforcement. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held
that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, each party agrees that a court of competent jurisdiction may enforce such restriction to the maximum extent permitted by law, and each party
hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction. 
 13. Use of
Parties’ Names. Nothing herein shall be construed as granting either party the right to use the other party’s name in publicizing anything used under this Agreement. 
 14. Waiver. The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter. Nor shall
the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other such provisions or be a waiver of the provision itself. 
 15. Alliance Agreement; Entire Agreement. This Agreement is subject to the provision of the U.S. Wireless Alliance Agreement, dated as of September 21, 1999 (the “Alliance Agreement”) between Vodafone
AirTouch Plc and Bell Atlantic Corporation. Neither the making nor the acceptance of this Agreement, nor any provision hereof, shall enlarge, restrict or otherwise modify the provisions of the Alliance Agreement or the rights and obligations of the
parties thereunder, or constitute a waiver or release by any of the parties to the Alliance Agreement of any liabilities, duties or obligations imposed upon any party thereunder, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties,
indemnities and other provisions that, pursuant to the Alliance Agreement, survive the Closing (as defined therein) thereof. This Agreement, together with the Alliance Agreement and all other agreements entered into by Vodafone AirTouch Plc and Bell
Atlantic Corporation in connection therewith, contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior understandings and agreements of the parties with respect thereto.

 16. No Agency. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership or other form of joint enterprise between Licensor and Licensee.

 18. Dispute Resolution. Resolution of any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, statute or otherwise, including, but not limited to, disputes over
