Pursuant to the Albany

through the date hereof (the “Plan”), Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (the
“Company”) hereby grants to the Optionee named above

specified above all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the “Stock”), of the Company specified above at the
Option Exercise Price per Share specified above subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

 

1.                                       Vesting
Schedule.  No portion of this Stock
Option may be exercised until such portion shall have vested.  Except as set forth below, and subject to the
discretion of the Administrator (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) to
accelerate the vesting schedule hereunder and the acceleration of vesting
in accordance with Sections 3(c) and 17 of the Plan, (a) thirty-three
percent (33%) of this Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable on each of
the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date.  Once vested, this Stock Option shall continue
to be exercisable at any time or times prior to the close of business on the
Expiration Date, subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan.

 

2.                                       Manner
of Exercise.

 

(a)                                  The
Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the
following manner:  from time to time on
or prior to the Expiration Date of this Stock Option, the Optionee
may give written notice to the Company of his or her election to purchase some
or all of the vested Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice.  This notice shall specify the number of
Option Shares to be purchased.

 

Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one
or more of the following methods:  (i) in
cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the 

 

 

Administrator; (ii) through the delivery (or attestation to the
ownership) of shares of Stock, valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise
date, that have been purchased by the Optionee on the
open market or that have been beneficially owned by the Optionee
for at least six months, and are not then subject to restrictions under any
Company plan, if permitted by the Administrator in its discretion; (iii) by
the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly
executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the
Company to pay the purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided,
the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such
procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as
the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; (iv) by
the Optionee delivering to the Company a promissory
note if the Board of Directors has expressly authorized the loan of funds to
the Optionee for the purpose of enabling or assisting
the Optionee to effect the exercise of his or her
Stock Option, provided that at least so much of the exercise price as
represents the par value of the Stock shall be paid other than with a
promissory note; or (v) with the consent of the Administrator, a
combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.  Payment instruments will be received subject
to collection.

 

The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be
contingent upon the Company’s receipt from the Optionee
of full payment for the Option Shares, as set forth above and any agreement,
statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that
the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Stock Option
under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  In the event an Optionee
chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through
the attestation method described in clause (ii) of the preceding
paragraph, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the Optionee
upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be net of the number of shares
attested to.

 

(b)                                 Certificates
for the shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be
issued and delivered to the Optionee upon compliance
to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable
laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements
hereof and of the Plan.  The
determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and
binding on the Optionee.  The Optionee shall
not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder
with respect to, any shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option unless and
until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof,
the Company shall have issued and delivered the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name
shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the
Company.  Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other
ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock.

 

(c)                                  The
minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be
exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with
respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of
shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time.

 

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option
shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.

 

3.                                       Exercise of Stock Option upon Death.  Upon the death of the Optionee, any Option held by the Optionee
may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee’s legal
representative or legatee on or prior to the Expiration Date, subject to the
provisions hereof and of the Plan.

 

4.                                       Incorporation
of Plan.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by
all the terms and conditions of the Plan. 
In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between this Agreement
and the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.  Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall
have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified
herein.

 

5.                                       Transferability.  This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any
manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.  This Stock
Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s
lifetime, only by the Optionee, or by the Optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of
the Optionee’s incapacity.

 

6.                                       Tax Withholding.  The Optionee
shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option
becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or
make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal,
state, and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld on account of
such taxable event.  Subject to the approval of the Administrator, the Optionee may elect to have such tax withholding obligation
satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold
from shares of Stock to be issued, (ii) transferring to the Company, a
number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date
the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due, or (iii) in
a combination of (i) and (ii).

 

7.                                       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  Notice
hereunder shall be given to the Company at its principal place of business, and
shall be given to the Optionee at the address set
forth below, or in either case at such other address as one party may
subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.

 

(b)                                 This
Stock Option does not confer upon the Optionee any
rights with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or any
Subsidiary.

 

 

(c)                                  Pursuant
to Section 15 of the Plan, the Administrator may at any time amend or
cancel any outstanding portion of this Stock Option, but no such action may be
taken which adversely affects the Optionee’s rights
under this Agreement without the Optionee’s consent.

 

(d)                                 This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
an original, but all of which shall together constitute one instrument.

2.         ENGAGEMENT
OF VENDOR TO PROVIDE SERVICES

 

2.1.       Engagement. Nextel hereby engages Vendor to provide the
Services and Vendor accepts such engagement. 
Vendor shall provide personnel, its expertise and the technical,
professional and project management services as are called for by the Implementation
Plan and the DAS Statement of Work or as otherwise necessary and appropriate to
carry out the Services.

 

2.2.       Services; Transition of Call Volume.

 

2.2.1.           Continuation of Services.  As of the Effective Date, Vendor, with the
cooperation of Nextel, shall accomplish the seamless and orderly continuation
and transition of directory assistance services from the manner in which Nextel
currently receives directory assistance services from Vendor under the Original
Agreement, to the provision of the Services to Nextel by Vendor pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including in accordance with all
pricing and Service Level Requirements set forth herein.  Such continuation of Services shall be
accomplished in such a manner as to have no adverse effect upon Nextel or upon
the quality or continuity of the services being provided to it.  From and after the opening of business on the
Effective Date, Vendor shall ensure that there is no material adverse effect on
the quality of the directory assistance services to Nextel and Nextel’s
Customers.

 

2.2.2.           Implementation Plan for New Services.  Attached as Schedule 2.2.2 hereto is an
Implementation Plan describing Services that Vendor did not provide under the
Original Agreement, but which will be provided under this Agreement.  Vendor shall provide such new Services
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including in accordance
with all pricing and Service Level Requirements, as of the applicable Service
Commencement Date.  The Implementation
Plan sets forth a number of actions and projects to be completed by Vendor and
Nextel for the benefit of Nextel, and the dates by which such actions and
projects are to have been completed. 
Vendor shall complete in all material respects all such actions and
projects by such dates and Nextel shall cooperate in good faith with Vendor in
its efforts in this regard.  Vendor
understands and agrees that time is of the essence in the performance of its
obligations hereunder.

 

2.2.3.       Transition of Customer Call Traffic.  Nextel shall be entitled to transition
Customer call traffic volume from Vendor to an alternative directory assistance
service provider at any time during the Term of this Agreement upon
[ . . . * * * . . . ] prior
written notice to Vendor.  Such notice
shall specify the amount of volume that Nextel intends to transition as well as
the geographical market areas to be affected. 
Vendor and Nextel agree to abide by Section 12.4 with respect to
all such transitions and treat any such transitions as a Disentanglement as set
forth therein.  For purposes of
clarification, a transition of Customer call volume traffic

pursuant to this Section shall not be considered a termination for
convenience.

 

2.3.       Statement of Work.  On the Effective Date, and at all times
thereafter during the Term, except as otherwise expressly stated herein, and
subject to the qualifications, limitations, and exclusions expressed elsewhere
in this Agreement, Vendor shall perform all of the tasks and provide Nextel
with all of the Services described in or (based upon a reasonable interpretation
of the parties’ intentions) contemplated by the Statement of Work attached as
Schedule 2.3 hereto (the “DAS Statement of Work”).

 

2.4.       Service Level Requirements. 
Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, Vendor shall perform
all Services at levels at least in accordance with the Service Levels
Requirements set forth on Schedule 2.4 (the “Service Level Requirements”).
Vendor shall measure and report its performance against the Service Levels
Requirements during each month, by the fifth (5th) Business Day of the
following month.  In order to provide
Service at levels specified, Vendor may need to temporarily route calls to an
alternative Call Center.  In such circumstances,
Vendor reserves the right to service calls from any of the Call Centers
described in Schedule 2.7.

 

2.5.       Testing.

 

2.5.1.           Interim Testing and Pilot.  For all new Services, including the new
Services identified in the Implementation Plan and all other future Services
provided under this Agreement, upon Vendor’s notification to Nextel that Vendor
has reached any testing milestone set forth on the applicable new Service
Roll-Out Plan, Nextel and Vendor, as applicable, shall begin the testing
process (including the process of conducting any pilot operations) identified
and described in the applicable new Service Roll-Out Plan and/or Nextel
Business Requirements Document for the applicable milestone using the test
procedures and standards set forth in, or developed in accordance with, the
applicable new Service Roll-Out Plan and/or Nextel Business Requirements
Document.  If Nextel, in connection with
such testing, determines that the Services, or any applicable portion thereof
or any other deliverable hereunder for which testing is appropriate
(i) have not met the applicable testing criteria, or (ii) are not in
compliance with the warranties of Section 8, Nextel shall deliver to
Vendor a report describing the discrepancies. 
Vendor shall correct the errors or defects at no cost to Nextel within
ten (10) Business Days after receiving such report, and any applicable test
procedures shall be repeated.

 

2.5.2.       Final Testing.  For all
new Services, including the new Services identified in the Implementation Plan
and all other future Services provided under this Agreement, upon successful
completion of all interim testing provided for in Section 2.5.1 above and
completion of all implementation tasks

scheduled to be completed prior to the Service Commencement Date for
the applicable Service, Nextel shall make the applicable new Service available
to Customers in a production environment. 
Once Nextel has made the new Service available to such Customers in a
production environment for a sufficient time to test all functions of the new
Service [ . . . * * * . . . ]
and has determined that: (i) the new Services were provided in accordance
with the applicable new Service Roll-Out Plan and Nextel Business Requirements
Document (and/or other mutually agreed to requirements document) without material
error, (ii) the new Services are being provided as warranted in
Section 8, and (iii) all other Services described in the applicable
new Service Roll-Out Plan and Nextel Business Requirements Document that are
required to be completed prior to the applicable Service Commencement Date,
have been completed, then Nextel shall notify Vendor in writing of “Final Test
Completion” of the applicable new Service. 
Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable new Service Roll-Out Plan or
Nextel Business Requirements Document, as of the applicable Service
Commencement Date, the provision of a new Service shall be subject to all
Service Levels set forth herein and Vendor shall be entitled to charge Nextel
for such Services.

 

2.5.3.           Omitted Test Criteria. 
To the extent that any item is subject to testing as provided in this
Section 2.5, but specific testing criteria are omitted from or not
developed pursuant to the applicable new Service Roll-Out Plan or Nextel
Business Requirements Document, Nextel’s testing criteria shall be that the
tested items meet the requirements of this Agreement to Nextel’s reasonable
satisfaction.

 

2.6.       Use of Affiliates and Subcontractors.

 

2.6.1.           Except
to utilize the Subcontractors listed on Schedule 2.6 for the functions
identified on such schedule, Vendor shall not perform its obligations through
its Affiliates or through the use of Subcontractors, without the prior written
consent of Nextel, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld
[ . . . * * * . . . ].
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Subcontractor shall
execute a confidentiality agreement with Vendor providing for confidentiality
and the protection of Customer Data and containing terms at least as stringent
as set forth in Sections 7.3 and 13.4. 
This section of the Agreement shall not apply to Vendor’s choice of
carrier for call routing and completion.

 

2.6.2.           Vendor
shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement by use of any
such Affiliates or Subcontractors.  If
Nextel determines that the performance or conduct of any Vendor Subcontractor
or Affiliate or any individual employee thereof, is unsatisfactory, Nextel may
notify Vendor of its determination in writing, indicating the reasons
therefore, in which

has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

event Vendor shall promptly take all necessary and appropriate actions
to remedy the performance or conduct of such Subcontractor or Affiliate or any
individual employee thereof and, if so requested by Nextel and in Nextel’s
reasonable discretion, to replace such Subcontractor or Affiliate or any
individual employee thereof.

 

2.7.       Location of Performance. 
[ . . . * * * . . . ]  Vendor shall use its best efforts to provide
Services from Call Centers in close geographic proximity to the location of the
Customer requesting Service. 
[ . . . * * * . . . ]

 

2.8.       Non-Exclusivity. 
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, nothing herein shall prevent Nextel from providing for itself or
obtaining from any third party, at any time during the Term or thereafter,
directory assistance services, or any other products or services, in any way
analogous, similar or comparable to the Services and deliverables made
available by Vendor hereunder.

 

3.         ADDITIONAL
VENDOR SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

 

3.1.       Compatibility.  To the
extent that appropriate specifications for new Services have been provided by
Nextel and to the extent that the Parties have mutually agreed to an
implementation timeline for such new Services, Vendor agrees that it shall be
responsible for ensuring that (i) all services, equipment, networks, software
and other resources utilized by Vendor or approved by Vendor for utilization by
Nextel in connection with the providing or receiving of the Services
(collectively, the “Provided Resources”) shall be successfully interfaced with,
and shall be compatible with, the services, systems, items, and other resources
with which they will interoperate to carry out the Services that are owned by
or leased or licensed to Nextel, or are provided to Nextel by third party
service providers (collectively, the “Nextel Resources”), and for ensuring that
(ii) none of the Services or other items provided to Nextel by Vendor shall be
adversely affected by, or shall adversely affect, the Nextel Resources or any
services provided by any such third party providers, whether as to
functionality, speed, service levels, interconnectivity, reliability,
availability, performance, response times, or otherwise.  Vendor further agrees that to the extent that
any equipment, interfaces or other technology needs to be procured, developed,
and/or modified in order for the Provided Resources to integrate fully and
successfully, and be compatible, with the Nextel Resources after execution of
this Agreement, Vendor shall assume responsibility, at the commercially
reasonable request of Nextel for such procurement, development, and/or
modification, limited to the types of development or modification services
otherwise required of Vendor under this Agreement.  For purposes of the foregoing, the “reasonableness”
of Nextel’s request shall take into account established industry technical
standards.  Nothing in this Section shall
in any way limit or restrict Vendor’s obligation to meet the requirements of
the DAS Statement of Work and to provide the Services.

3.2.       Cooperation.  Vendor
shall cooperate, as reasonably requested by Nextel, with other service
providers of Nextel to coordinate the provision of Services with the services
and systems of such other service providers acting in good faith, where Vendor’s
Services have a material impact on such services.  Such coordination shall include: (i)
facilitating with such other relevant service providers the timely resolution
of all problems that may arise and impact the Services or the provision
thereof, regardless of the actual or suspected root-cause of such problems, and
using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain the active
participation, cooperation and involvement of such other service providers as
is required for such problem resolution; (ii) providing information
concerning any or all of the Provided Resources or the data, computing
environment, and technology direction used in providing the Services, subject
to appropriate confidentiality agreements addressing the protection of
intellectual property, trade secrets and other competitively sensitive information;
(iii) working with other service providers in the implementation and
integration of the Services with the Nextel Resources in Nextel’s environment
and, as reasonably requested, the integration and interfacing of the Services
of such other service providers with the Services,; (iv) providing
reasonable access to and use of the Provided Resources,; (v) ensuring the
continued integration and provision of the Services in accordance with the
Agreement (and the Schedules hereto and the deliverables hereunder) with the
Nextel Resources as such may be upgraded, modified, or replaced from time to
time; and (vi) performing tasks reasonably assigned to Vendor in
connection with the Services and the foregoing activities described in this
sentence.  [ . . . * * * . . . ]  Nothing in this Section shall in any way
interfere with Vendor’s ability to or limit or restrict Vendor’s obligation to
meet the requirements of the DAS Statement of Work and to provide the
Services.  Nothing in this section shall
require Vendor to disclose its trade secrets or license its intellectual
property to any third party.

 

3.3.       Continuous Improvement. 
Throughout the Term, Vendor shall develop and provide the Services under
quality assurance programs, and Vendor shall propose, from time to time, new
technologies and procedures to improve the Services or the provision
thereof.  Vendor shall, in any such
proposal and at a minimum, identify and apply proven techniques and tools from
other non-proprietary installations within Vendor’s operations or knowledge
that could benefit Nextel’s use of the Services either operationally or
financially.  Not in limitation of the
foregoing, Vendor shall provide any continuous improvement activities specified
in the DAS Statement of Work.

 

3.4.       Root Cause Analysis. 
Upon Vendor’s discovery of, or, if earlier, Vendor’s receipt of a notice
from Nextel in respect of Vendor’s failure (i) to meet a Service Level; or
(ii) to provide any of the Services in accordance with this Agreement,
Vendor shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days), perform
a root-cause analysis to identify the cause of such failure.  Vendor shall promptly and, in any event,
within five (5) Business Days after such discovery or notice, provide Nextel
with a written report detailing the cause of, and procedure for correcting,

such failure and
providing Nextel with reasonable evidence that failures within Vendor’s control
will not recur.

 

3.5.       Procedures Manual. 
Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, Vendor, with Nextel’s
cooperation, shall finalize a procedures manual (the “Procedures Manual),
applicable to the Services, which shall be attached hereto as
Schedule 3.5.  Nextel reserves the
right to identify (at any time, and from time to time, until ninety (90)
calendar days after the date of completion of such manual) and notify Vendor of
such items as Nextel shall reasonably deem appropriate for inclusion in such
Procedures Manual.  Vendor shall revise
the Procedures Manual from time to time during the Term as required (with the expectation
that more frequent revision shall be appropriate early in the Term) to reflect
any changes to the Services or related requirements so as to maintain the
Procedures Manual in an up to date, accurate status at all times.  At least annually, Vendor shall submit the
then current Procedures Manual to Nextel for review, comment and, with respect
to those Sections of the Procedures Manual that were originally mutually
developed by the parties, approval. 
Vendor shall comply with the Procedures Manual.

 

3.6.       Disaster Recovery Plan. 
Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, Vendor, with Nextel’s
cooperation, shall finalize a disaster recovery plan (the “Disaster Recovery
Plan”) applicable to the Services, which shall be attached hereto as Schedule 3.6.  Nextel reserves the right to identify (at any
time, and from time to time, until ninety (90) calendar days after the date of
completion of such plan) and notify Vendor of such items as Nextel shall reasonably
determine to be appropriate for inclusion in such Disaster Recovery Plan.  Prior to each anniversary of the Effective
Date during the Term, Vendor shall revise the Disaster Recovery Plan as
appropriate to reflect any changes to the Services or related requirements and
submit it to Nextel for review, comment, and approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.  Nextel and Vendor
shall implement and comply with the Disaster Recovery Plan.

 

3.7.       Quality. 
[ . . . * * * . . . ]  Vendor is a service organization and its
management has taken responsibility to ensure that documented policies and
tested processes are in place for quality system activities, contract review,
design control, purchasing, process control and testing with corrective action.  In addition, Vendor
shall ensure that it, its employees, agents and Subcontractors take no action
that results in Nextel or any of its Affiliates losing any ISO 9000 or CMM
Level 2 or similar quality certification in existence as of the Effective Date,
or which Nextel obtains or seeks to obtain after such date.

 

3.8.       Nextel Partners Operating Corporation. 
Vendor understands and agrees that Nextel Partners Operating
Corporation (“NPOC”) will need a separate agreement with Vendor for provision
of Services. 
[ . . . * * * . . . ]  Neither Nextel nor NPOC (nor their respective
Affiliates) shall have any liability for the obligations of the other
(including, without limitation, any liability for any payment obligations) and

Affiliates

to cooperate with the owner of such Confidential Information if the owner
wishes to obtain a protective order or otherwise protect the confidentiality of
such Confidential Information.  The owner
of such Confidential Information reserves the right to obtain a protective
order or otherwise protect the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information.

 

7.3.4.           Notification.  In the

and each of their employees, with respect to the Confidential Information and
Customer Data that results in a breach of this Section 7.3 or Section 13.4.

during the Term of this Agreement, promptly and at no charge to Nextel,
(i) reperform any Services that do not meet the requirements of this
Agreement and (ii) correct all failures of any deliverables hereunder to

No quality assurance, acceptance test, or other similar procedure shall

9.2.1.           General Limitation. 
The parties hereunder shall be liable only for direct damages and

no event limit a party’s ability to recover actual damages for breach hereof,
including the costs of obtaining replacement Services and deliverables
complying with the terms hereof.  In no

no event shall Nextel have any liability for monetary damages with respect to
its duties and obligations hereunder, other than its duties and obligations
pursuant to Sections 6.7, 7.3 and 10.

 

10.       INDEMNIFICATION

 

10.1.     Intellectual Property. 
Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold Nextel and its parent,
subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers,
shareholders, directors, and employees harmless from and against any claims and
shall pay all losses, damages, liabilities, claims and actions, and all related
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) based upon any
allegations that would evidence or constitute a breach of the warranties set
forth in Sections 8.1.6.  In the
event that any Work Product provided by Vendor is alleged or found to be
misappropriated from, or to infringe on the intellectual property rights of, a
third party, Vendor shall, in addition to the foregoing indemnification
obligation, endeavor, at its option and expense, to either: (i) secure a
license to use such portion to enable such Work Product to be utilized in a
manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) replace the
same with other intellectual property assets as are needed to enable Vendor to
continue performing the Services in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, or (iii) modify the Work Product so that it no longer infringes
or misappropriates the rights of others, while still meeting the requirements
of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Vendor’s obligations as set forth in this Section shall not apply to
Developed Work Product provided pursuant to an Additional Statement of Work to
the extent that the misappropriation or infringement allegations arise out of
specifications or requirements for such Developed Work Product provided in
writing to Vendor by Nextel.

 

10.2.     Injury or Damage. 
Each party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party and
its respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any
claims and shall pay all losses, damages, liabilities, claims and actions, and
all related expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) based
on allegations of bodily injury (including death) or damage to tangible
personal or real property, to the extent that such injury or damage arises from
the negligence of, or breach of this Agreement by, the indemnifying party in
connection with the matters that are the subject of this Agreement.

 

10.3.     Third-Party Services. 
Vendor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Nextel, its officers,
directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims and shall

 

23

 

pay all losses,
damages, liabilities, claims and actions, and all related expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) based on allegations, including
allegations of non-payment, from Vendor’s Subcontractors arising out of or
related to services performed by them hereunder.

 

10.4.     Additional Indemnities. 
Vendor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Nextel, its officers,
directors, employees and agents from and against any claim and any and all
losses, liability, damages, costs, and expenses (including attorney’s fees)
sustained or incurred by Nextel as a result of Vendor’s breach of its
obligations under Section 13.4.

 

10.5.     Procedures.  If any
legal action covered by this Section 10 is commenced against a party (“Indemnified
Party”), prompt written notice thereof shall be given to the other party (“Indemnifying
Party”).  After such notice, if
Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to Indemnified Party that the
right of indemnification under this Agreement applies with respect to such
claim, then Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, in a written
notice delivered to Indemnified Party not fewer than ten (10) Business Days
prior to the date on which a response to such claim is due, to take control of
the defense and investigation of such claim and to employ and engage attorneys
of its sole choice to handle and defend same, at Indemnifying Party’s
expense.  Indemnified Party shall
cooperate in all reasonable respects with Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in
the investigation, trial, and defense of such claim and any appeal arising
therefrom; provided, however, that Indemnified Party may, at its own expense,
participate, through its attorneys or otherwise, in such investigation, trial,
and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom.  No settlement of a claim that involves a
remedy other than the payment of money by Indemnifying Party shall be entered
into without the consent of Indemnified Party, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.  After
notice by Indemnifying Party of its election to assume full control of the
defense of any such claim, Indemnified Party shall not be liable to
Indemnifying Party for any legal expenses incurred thereafter by Indemnifying
Party in connection with the defense of that claim.  If Indemnifying Party does not assume full
control over the defense of a claim subject to such defense as provided in this
Section, Indemnifying Party may participate in such defense, at its expense,
and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the claim in such
manner as it may deem appropriate, at the expense of Indemnifying Party.

performed by Vendor during the transition shall be performed by Vendor at no
additional cost to Nextel beyond what Nextel would pay for the Services absent
the termination.

 

12.4.     Transition.  Subject to the performance by Nextel and any
subsequent provider of services similar to the Services of all actions
reasonably expected of each party in connection with the transition, Vendor
shall cooperate fully with Nextel and third parties and shall take all actions
reasonably requested by Nextel or necessary to accomplish, by no later than six
(6) months after the Transition Date, a smooth, complete transition of
responsibility for the Services being terminated or call volume being
transitioned from Vendor to Nextel, or to any replacement provider designated
by Nextel (a “Disentanglement”), with no material interruption of or adverse
impact on Nextel or its Customers in any way, including on the Services.  In the event Nextel elects to terminate any
Service or transition a certain volume of Customer call traffic being serviced
by Vendor (but not all Services or all call volume in the aggregate) pursuant
to the terms hereof, Vendor shall perform its Disentanglement obligations
hereunder to the extent applicable to the Service, Services or volume of
Customer call traffic being terminated.

 

In the event that volume of an amount greater than
[ . . . * * * . . . ] of any
Call Center’s then current volume is transitioned back to Vendor with
[ . . . * * * . . . ]

 

12.5.     Delivery of Nextel Data.  Vendor shall provide to Nextel all Nextel Data
and documentation reasonably requested by Nextel in connection with the
transition that is sufficient to enable Nextel, or another reasonably competent

fully assume the
provision of any terminated Services. 
Vendor shall destroy all copies of Nextel Data not turned over to Nextel
and Nextel shall destroy all copies of Vendor data, if any exists in Nextel’s
possession or control, upon termination.

 

13.       COMPLIANCE
MATTERS

 

13.1.     Nextel Corporate Policies. 
Vendor shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors and employees to, abide
by the following:

 

13.1.1.         Ethical Business Practices. 
This Agreement is subject to and governed by the Nextel Communications,
Inc. Code of Corporate Conduct as such may be amended from time to time and as
provided to Vendor.

 

13.1.2.         Security. All Vendor personnel (including personnel of any
Subcontractors) shall be subject to and shall at all times conform to Nextel’s
security rules and requirements for the protection of Nextel’s plant,
materials, equipment and personnel while on Nextel premises.  Any violations or disregard of these rules
shall be cause for denial of access to Nextel’s property.

 

13.1.3.         Computer Information and Access.  Vendor will comply with all rules of Nextel
concerning access to Nextel’s computers and use of computer data and software,
including those set forth on Schedule 13.1.3 and any others communicated
by Nextel to Vendor.  Prior to performing
any Services pursuant to this Agreement, Vendor’s personnel shall execute
Nextel’s standard forms concerning access protection and data/software
security.  Nextel shall issue to Vendor
personnel access mechanisms including, but not limited to, access Ids,
passwords, and access cards that are to be used only by the Vendor personnel to
whom they are issued.  Nextel’s computer
data and software shall be used by Vendor personnel only in connection with
Vendor’s obligations hereunder.  Failure
of Vendor to comply with these rules may result in Nextel restricting offending
personnel from access to Nextel computer systems or immediate termination of
this Agreement.

 

13.1.4.         Other Policies. 
Vendor agrees that as part of its provision of Services hereunder, it
shall ensure that its personnel are trained, qualified, and available to
perform all Services required in work areas requiring specific health, security,
or safety precautions.  Vendor shall, and
shall cause its Subcontractors and employees to, abide by all pertinent Nextel
corporate policies that may be established by Nextel from time to time and
provided to Vendor.

 

13.2.     Legal Compliance.

 

13.2.1.         Vendor
shall at all times perform its obligations hereunder in compliance in all
material respects with all applicable foreign, domestic, state, and local laws
and regulations of all applicable foreign and domestic jurisdictions,

 

28

 

and in such a manner as not to cause Nextel to be in material violation
of any applicable laws or regulations including any applicable requirements of
any foreign, domestic, state, or local authority regulating health, safety,
employment, the environment, security, exportation, or telecommunications.

 

13.2.2.         Nextel
is both an equal opportunity employer and a federal contractor.  Therefore, Vendor shall, to the extent
applicable, comply with Executive Order 11246, the Vietnam Era Veterans
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of
1973.  Such Executive Order and such laws
are expressly included in the reference to “applicable laws” in the first
sentence of this Section.

 

13.2.3.         In
addition, except for approvals, permissions, permits and/or licenses required
by foreign or domestic statute, ordinance, regulation or other law to be
obtained by Nextel or its Customers, including those required, if any, to
permit Nextel to enter into this Agreement, Vendor agrees to obtain and
maintain, at its own expense, all approvals, permissions, permits, licenses,
and other forms of documentation required by Vendor in order to comply with all
existing foreign or domestic statutes, ordinances, regulations, or other laws,
which may be applicable to Vendor’s performance of Services hereunder.  Nextel reserves the right to reasonably
request and review all such applications, permits, and licenses prior to the
commencement of any Services hereunder.

 

13.3.     Diversity in Subcontracting.

 

13.3.1.         Nextel
is committed to equal employment and vendor diversity. As part of this
commitment, it is the policy of Nextel that small business concerns,
veteran-owned small business concerns, HUBZone small business concerns,
women-owned small business concerns, small disadvantaged business concerns
(including 8(a) business concerns) and historically black colleges and
universities and minority institutions shall have the maximum practicable
opportunity to participate in performance of contracting between Nextel and its
vendors.  Vendor agrees to carry out this
policy in the award of subcontracts (to the extent permitted hereunder) to the
fullest extent consistent with efficient contract performance.

 

13.3.2.         To
the extent that Vendor utilizes subcontractors to provide services under this
Agreement, Vendor agrees to use its commercial best efforts to establish and
conduct a program which will enable small business concerns, veteran-owned
small business concerns, HUBZone small business concerns, women-owned small
business concerns, historically black colleges and universities and minority
institutions and small disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business
concerns) to be considered fairly as subcontractors and vendors under Vendor’s
contracts

 

29

 

with Nextel.  In order to
establish and conduct such a program, Vendor shall use its best efforts to:

 

(a)           Assist
small business, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business,
women-owned small business, historically black colleges and universities and
minority institutions and small disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a)
business concerns) by arranging contracting opportunities, quantities,
specifications and delivery schedules so as to facilitate the participation by
such business concerns.

 

(b)           Provide
adequate and timely consideration of the potentialities of small business,
veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, women-owned small
business, historically black colleges and universities and minority
institutions and small disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business
concerns) in all “make-or-buy” decisions.

 

(c)           Designate
a liaison manager who shall be responsible for interfacing with and
administering subcontracting opportunities for small business, veteran-owned
small business, HUBZone small business, women-owned small business,
historically black colleges and universities and minority institutions and
small disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business concerns).

 

(d)           Counsel
and discuss subcontracting opportunities with representatives of small
business, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, women-owned
small business, historically black colleges and universities and minority
institutions and small disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business
concerns).

 

(e)           Maintain
records showing (i) procedures adopted by Vendor to comply with the policy and
procedures set forth in this Agreement, including the establishment of a source
list of small business, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business,
women-owned small business, historically black colleges and universities and
minority Institutions and small disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a)
business concerns); (ii) awards to small business, veteran-owned small
business, HUBZone small business, women-owned small business, historically
black colleges and universities and minority institutions and small
disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business concerns) on the
source list; and (iii) specific efforts to identify and award contracts to
small business, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business,
women-owned small business, historically black colleges

 

30

 

and universities and minority institutions and small disadvantaged
business concerns (including 8(a) business concerns).

 

(f)            Cooperate
with Nextel representatives in any studies and surveys of Vendor’s small
business, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, women-owned
small business, historically black colleges and universities and minority
institutions and small disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business
concerns) procedures and practices that Nextel may conduct periodically.

 

13.3.3.         To
the extent that Vendor uses subcontractors, Vendor will use its commercial best
efforts to spend ten percent (10%) of the total value of the contract with
small business, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business,
women-owned, historically black colleges and universities and minority
institutions and small disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business
concerns).  Vendor shall report those
goals to Nextel on an annual basis.

 

13.3.4.         To
the extent that Vendor uses subcontractors to provide services to Nextel,
within thirty (30) calendar days of the Effective Date, Vendor shall provide
Nextel with a strategic plan outlining their methodology regarding the use of
diverse vendors.  If Vendor does not subcontract,
Vendor shall provide Nextel with a strategic plan outlining Vendor’s
methodology for Vendor’s overall corporate supplier diversity program.  The plan should include implementation of
that Vendor diversity strategy. Vendor shall prepare and submit reports
detailing Vendor’s actual performance of the policy and procedures of this
Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days of the end of each quarter.  Such reports shall include the total amount
of payments expressed in dollars made by Nextel to Vendor for products and
services under this Agreement as well as the total amount expressed in dollars
of subcontracts between Vendor and any small business, veteran-owned small
business, HUBZone small business, women-owned small business, historically
black colleges and universities and minority institutions and small
disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business concerns) during that
quarter.  If Vendor does not subcontract,
Vendor shall provide Nextel with overall corporate supplier diversity spend
numbers.  Vendor shall submit such reports
in a form prescribed by Nextel.

 

13.3.5.         Vendor’s
failure to comply in good faith with the policy or procedures of Section 13.3.4
of this Agreement, including Vendor’s failure to provide quarterly reports or
to cooperate in any investigation conducted by Nextel of the performance of the
procedures set forth in this Agreement, shall be deemed to be a breach of this
Agreement by Vendor and any other contract between Nextel and Vendor.

 

31

 

13.3.6.         The
terms “small business concerns, veteran-owned small business concerns, HUBZone
small business concerns, women-owned small business concerns and small
disadvantaged business concerns (including 8(a) business concerns)” shall be
defined according to the definitions set forth in Federal Acquisition
Regulation Part 19 and 13 C.F.R. Part 121. “Historically black colleges and
universities,” as used in this clause, means institutions determined by the
Secretary of Education to meet the requirements of 34 C.F.R. Section 608.2. The
term also means any nonprofit research institution that was an integral part of
such a college or university before November 14, 1986. “Minority institutions,”
as used in this clause, means institutions meeting the requirements of Section
1046(3) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. §1135d-5(3)). The term
also includes Hispanic-serving institutions as defined in Section 316(b)(1) of
such Act (20 U.S.C. §1059c(b)(1)).

 

13.4.     Customer Data.

 

13.4.1.         Ownership and use of Customer Data.  All Customer Data is and shall remain the
exclusive property of Nextel.  Vendor
shall secure, access, use, collect, maintain, and disclose or share Customer
Data only in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement and only to the
extent strictly necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or
as otherwise required by law.  Vendor may
not otherwise modify the Customer Data, merge it with other data, commercially
exploit it, disclose it or do any other thing that may in any manner adversely
affect the integrity, security or confidentiality of such data, other than as
expressly specified herein or as directed by Nextel in writing.  Nextel makes no representation or warranty as
to the accuracy or completeness of the Customer Data.  For the purpose of this Section 13.4, the
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.

 

13.4.2.         Privacy Laws.  Vendor
agrees that it will at all times comply 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) directory assistance (collectively, the “Privacy
Laws”).  These laws include without
limitation the Federal Communications Commission’s Customer Proprietary Network
Information rules and regulations implementing 47 U.S.C. § 222 (the “CPNI Law”);
Federal Trade Commission’s Telephone Sales Rule; the Federal Telephone Consumer
Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227) and its implementing regulations; and Section
2891.1 of the California Public Utility Commission Code.

 

13.4.3.         Safeguards. 
Vendor is fully responsible for its unauthorized collection, disclosure
and use of, and access to, Customer Data. 
Accordingly, Vendor shall employ administrative, physical, and technical
safeguards that

 

32

 

prevent such unauthorized collection, access, disclosure, and use (“Safeguards”),
including, without limitation, the Safeguards described hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, Vendor shall
at a minimum (1) employ the highest standards of best industry practice to
Safeguard Customer Data, whether “at rest” or in transport, (2) encrypt all
Customer Data at rest or in transport, (3) ensure that only its employees and
subcontractors may access Customer Data, and only: (a) to
the extent necessary to enable Vendor to perform its obligations under this
Agreement; and (b) if they are bound in writing by confidentiality, privacy,
and security obligations that are no less stringent than those contained in
this Section 13.4 of the Agreement (“Authorized Employees”).  During the term of each Authorized Employee’s
employment by Vendor, Vendor shall at all times ensure that such Authorized
Employee strictly abides by his/her obligations hereunder.  And after such Authorized Employee leaves
his/her employment for any reason, Vendor shall use at least the same level of
effort to enforce such obligations as Vendor uses to enforce obligations that
relate to its own similarly confidential information, provided that Vendor
shall not use less than reasonable efforts in such enforcement.

 

13.4.4.         Location of Vendor Operations:  Vendor shall ensure that all aspects of its
Service that concern Customer Data (including without limitation collecting,
storing, accessing, using, Safeguarding, transporting, and disclosing Customer
Data) shall occur in the United States.

 

13.4.5.         Disclosure of Customer Data. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in
response to a valid court order or otherwise to the extent legally required in
response to a request from a law enforcement agency, in no event shall Vendor
disclose any Customer Data to any third party. 
In the event Vendor is legally required to disclose any Customer Data
pursuant a valid governmental or law enforcement request, it will promptly
notify Nextel to permit Nextel to seek a protective order or to take other
appropriate action to prevent or limit such disclosure.  Vendor agrees to cooperate with Nextel’s
efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that
confidential treatment will be afforded the Customer Data in question.  If, in the written opinion of its counsel
addressed to Nextel, Vendor is compelled as a matter of law to disclose the
Customer Data in the absence of a protective order, it shall disclose to the
party compelling the disclosure only the part of the Customer Data that is
required by law to be disclosed, and Vendor shall use its best efforts to
obtain confidential treatment therefor. 
Vendor further agrees that, prior to any such disclosure, it shall
advise and consult with Nextel and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature
and wording of its disclosure.

 

13.4.6.         Customer Touch. 
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement and except as
specifically authorized by Section 3.10 and/or

 

33

 

the DAS Statement of Work, Vendor shall not knowingly contact any
Nextel Customer in any manner, without Nextel’s prior written consent.  Vendor shall not directly target or directly
market to Nextel Customers, individually or as a class, in connection with any
directory assistance products or services that are competitive to the Services
provided hereunder.

 

13.4.7.         Return of Customer Data. 
Vendor shall return, or at Nextel’s election, destroy (and certify in
writing such destruction) all Customer Data upon the termination or expiration
of this Agreement for any reason, or earlier if requested to do so in writing
by Nextel.

 

13.4.8.         Cooperation and Inspection. 
Vendor shall establish a disciplinary process to address any
unauthorized access, use or disclosure of Customer Data by any of Vendor’s
employees or Subcontractors.  Vendor
shall immediately notify Nextel of any breaches of security that may result in
the unauthorized access, use or disclosure of Customer Data.  Vendor shall make all reasonable efforts to
assist Nextel in relation to the investigation and remedy of any such breach of
security and any claim, allegation, action, suit, proceeding or litigation with
respect to the unauthorized access, use or disclosure of Customer Data.

 

13.4.9.         Injunctive Relief. 
Vendor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any obligation set forth
in this Section 13.4 by the Vendor may result in irreparable harm for which
monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy and, as a result, Nextel
shall be entitled to both monetary damages and equitable relief.

 

13.4.10.       Confidentiality.  The obligations set forth in this Section
13.4 supplement the provisions of Section 7, and this Section 13.4 shall govern
to the extent there is any conflict between it and Section 7.

 

13.4.11.       Miscellaneous.  The
obligations set forth in this Section 13.4 shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

 

14.       MISCELLANEOUS

 

14.1.     Amendments.  Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified,
amended, or in any way altered except by a written agreement executed by
authorized signatories of the parties hereto.

 

14.2.     Assignment.  Neither
party shall assign this Agreement nor delegate any of its duties, in whole or
in part, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Nextel shall be
entitled to assign this Agreement at any time without the prior consent of
Vendor to: (i) any of its Affiliates; or (ii) any successor in
interest who receives the Services in connection with any merger, acquisition,
divestiture or sale of assets.  An
assignee of either party authorized hereunder shall be bound by the terms of
this

 

34

 

Agreement and
shall have all of the rights and obligations of the assigning party set forth
in this Agreement.  If any assignee shall
fail to agree to be bound by all of the terms and obligations of this Agreement
or if any assignment is made in breach of the terms of this Agreement, then
such assignment shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

 

14.3.     Contract Interpretation.

 

14.3.1.         Captions; Section Numbers. 
Section numbers and captions are provided for convenience of reference
and do not constitute a part of this Agreement. 
Any references to a particular Section of this Agreement shall be deemed
to include reference to any and all subsections thereof.

 

14.3.2.         Inclusive References. 
As used herein, the term “including,” the phrase “including but not
limited to” and the phrase “including without limitation” shall all be
interpreted as meaning “including but not limited to.”

 

14.3.3.         Neither Party Deemed Drafter.  Despite the possibility that one party or its
representatives may have prepared the initial draft of this Agreement or any
provision thereof or played a greater role in the preparation of subsequent
drafts, the parties agree that neither of them shall be deemed the drafter of
this Agreement and that, in construing this Agreement, no provision hereof
shall be construed in favor of one party on the ground that such provision was
drafted by the other.

 

14.4.     Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed the same
agreement.

 

14.5.     Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence.  This Agreement, together with all Schedules
and all documents expressly referred to herein, constitutes the complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior proposals, understandings, and
agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.  In case of
conflict the order of precedence of the documents constituting this Agreement
is as follows, each listed document superseding in the event of any conflicting
provision in a later listed document: 
(1) Agreement text (Introduction through Section 14, excluding
Schedules, but including Exhibit A); (2) the Schedules; and (3) any other
document.  In the event Vendor submits
work orders, change orders, invoices or other similar documents for accounting
or administrative purposes or otherwise, no pre-printed or similar terms and
conditions contained in any such form shall be deemed to supersede any of the
terms and conditions herein without express approval (making specific reference
to this Section 14.5) by Nextel. 
Neither shall any pre-printed or similar terms and conditions contained
in any purchase order issued by Nextel hereunder be deemed to supersede any of
the terms and conditions herein.

 

35

 

14.6.     Expenses.  Each party
shall be responsible for, and shall pay, all expenses paid or incurred by it in
connection with the planning, negotiation, and consummation of this Agreement.

 

14.7.     Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any failure
or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement due to causes
beyond its control (each, a “Force Majeure”), including, but not limited to,
acts of God, the public enemy, riots, fires, natural catastrophes or epidemics
except that “Force Majeure” expressly excludes the following: any event that
Vendor or Nextel, as applicable, could reasonably have prevented by testing,
work-around, or other exercise of diligence, including, but not limited to, any
failure to provide Services in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
as a result of any power failure that could have been prevented by access to
redundant power supplies; any strike, walkout, or other labor shortage; any
failure of any software, system, facilities, or hardware that could have been
prevented by testing, and any cause or event caused by the negligence of a
party or a breach or default by a party under this Agreement.  In the event of such a Force Majeure, the
date of delivery or performance hereunder shall be extended for a period not to
exceed the time lost by reason of the failure or delay; provided that the party
affected by the Force Majeure is using commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate or eliminate the cause of such delay or its effects and, if events in
the nature of the Force Majeure event were foreseeable, used commercially
reasonable efforts prior to its occurrence to anticipate and avoid its
occurrence or effect.  Each party shall
notify the other in writing promptly of any failure or delay in, and the effect
on, its performance.

 

14.8.     Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.  The parties
agree that all actions and proceedings arising out of or related to this
Agreement shall be brought only in a state or federal court located in the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and the parties hereby consent to such venue and to
the jurisdiction of such courts over the subject matter of such proceeding and
themselves.

 

14.9.     Independent Contractor.  Vendor is an independent contractor; nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or
agency relationship between the parties. 
Each party will be solely responsible for payment of all compensation
owed to its employees and agents, as well as employment related taxes.  Subject only to the terms of this Agreement,
Vendor shall have complete control of its agents and employees engaged in the

personnel and payroll records for its employees, (ii) calculate and pay their
wages and withhold all required taxes and other government-mandated charges, if
any, (iii) remit such taxes, employer contributions, and other levies or

relevant portion of the financial records of Vendor and Vendor’s Subcontractors
to verify the accuracy of Vendor’s invoices to Nextel and Vendor’s
Subcontractors’ invoices to Vendor. 
Nextel and its authorized agents and representatives will have access to
inspect and copy such records for purposes of such audit during normal business
hours and at place designated by Vendor; provided, however, that if such audit
discloses that an error of
[ . . . * * * . . . ] or more
regarding invoices during the audited period was made in favor of Vendor or any
Vendor Subcontractor, Vendor shall pay the entire cost of such audit, unless
Vendor disputes the outcome of the audit, in which case such dispute shall be
settled under Section 5.5 hereof.  If
such dispute is resolved in Nextel’s favor, Vendor shall remain responsible to
pay for the audit as set forth in this Section. 
Vendor shall bind each of its relevant Subcontractors in writing, as
part of the agreements between Vendor and the respective Subcontractor, to make
its financial records available for audit and inspection as required by this
Section 14.13.  Any Vendor
confidential material shall not be released to Nextel as a result of any audit.

 

(c)           Adjusting Payment Upon Audit.  To the extent that any audit as provided in
this Section 14.13 discloses an overpayment or underpayment, Vendor or
Nextel, as the case may be, shall promptly refund or pay to the other, as the
case may be, the amount of such overpayment or underpayment.

 

14.13.2.       Recordkeeping Requirements. 
Vendor shall maintain, and shall cause each of its relevant
Subcontractors to maintain, complete and accurate accounting records in a form
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and complying in
all respects with all applicable laws, to permit substantiation of the charges
and prices of Vendor and Vendor’s Subcontractors hereunder and to permit
verification of compliance by Vendor with the terms of this Agreement.  Vendor shall retain, and shall cause each of
Vendor’s relevant Subcontractors to retain, such records for a period of five
(5) years from the date to which each such record pertains.  Further, Vendor shall maintain and retain,
and shall

cause each of its relevant Subcontractors to maintain and retain,
complete and accurate operational records, including but not limited to all
data related to the provision of the Services, and copies of all
Vendor-generated reports hereunder for a period of five (5) years from the date
to which each such record or report pertains.

 

14.13.3.       Operational Audits.

 

(a)           Operational Audit Rights.  Nextel,
or its authorized representatives shall have the right, at any time, upon
reasonable notice of no less than ten (10) Business Days (except that no notice
shall be required with respect to a security audit, including an audit of
Vendor’s safeguarding of Customer Data), to perform an operational audit
limited in scope to Vendor’s performance of the Services, including, but not
limited to, any obligation of Vendor related to security, disaster recovery and
fail-over planning.  The selection of the
authorized representative shall be made by Nextel, subject to Vendor’s
approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  For purposes of such audit, Vendor shall
grant Nextel or its representatives access appropriate to the scope of the
audit at a location of Vendor’s choosing, during normal business hours and upon
said reasonable notice, to the relevant portion of Vendor’s books, records,
documents, data, or information, as they relate to this Agreement.  Vendor shall provide Nextel, or its
authorized representatives, such information and assistance as reasonably
requested in advance in order to perform such audits; provided, however, that
the parties shall endeavor to arrange such assistance in such a way that it
does not interfere with Vendor’s ongoing business and the performance of Vendor’s
duties and obligations hereunder.  Any
third parties performing this audit shall do so only after Vendor’s consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld and only after executing nondisclosure
agreements reasonably satisfactory to Vendor.

 

(b)           Results of Operational Audit.  If any audit pursuant to this
Section 14.13 reveals a material inadequacy or insufficiency of Vendor’s
performance of the Services or any obligation of Vendor related to security,
then Vendor and Nextel shall discuss such findings, including the specific
audit workpapers and report, and in the event that Vendor is unable to
adequately refute such findings, Vendor shall promptly develop and provide to
Nextel a corrective action plan, such plan to be reasonably satisfactory to
Nextel, and promptly thereafter implement such plan at Vendor’s sole cost and
expense.

 

42

 

14.14.   Severability.  If any
part or application of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions or other applications
shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby and shall be enforced to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

 

14.15.   Third Party Rights Excluded. 
This Agreement is an agreement between the parties, and confers no
rights upon any of the parties’ employees, agents, or contractors or upon any
other person.

 

14.16.   Waiver.  No purported
waiver by any party of any default by any other party of any term or provision
contained herein (whether by omission, delay or otherwise) shall be deemed to
be a waiver of such term or provision unless the waiver is in writing and
signed by the waiving party. No such waiver shall in any event be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent default under the same or any other term or provision
contained herein.

 

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be
executed and delivered by their respective, duly authorized representatives.
