Common use of Interoperability Clause in Contracts

Interoperability. 10.1 The Parties agree that their respective obligations under this Agreement related to the interoperability of the Xxxxxx System and the ACC TDMA System shall be construed in accordance with the following general principles: 10.1.1 The Parties agree, confirm and acknowledge that one of their primary objectives in entering into this Agreement is to promote the establishment and operation throughout the United States of a mobile wireless service that is TDMA-based and that will appear to their respective subscribers as a single mobile wireless network with a common User Interface pertaining to the Adopted Features, and that they intend to achieve such purpose and objective as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement. Adopted Features shall be made available to all Customers of a Party when roaming in the Xxxxxx System or the ACC TDMA System, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Each Party shall use good faith efforts, when implementing any software or other System change or upgrade, to confirm the continued availability of the Feature interoperability provided for herein, and in the event of any interference with any Feature interoperability shall work expeditiously to restore required functionality. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Authentication Fraud Protection Feature (or any subsequent or comparable fraud protection Feature) is disabled or affected by any network change so as to interfere with its interoperability, the Party responsible for such network shall restore interoperability within 48 hours of notification from the affected Party. 10.1.2 The Parties agree that each of their respective obligations, duties, rights and entitlements pursuant to this Agreement shall be interpreted, to the extent such interpretation is required to resolve any dispute or uncertainty concerning this Agreement, in a manner that is reasonably consistent with, and which reasonably supports, the purpose and objective of this Agreement as set out in Section 10.1.1. 10.1.3 The Parties agree that they each shall, in good faith, work together, cooperate, and use the rights that they each have granted the other under this Agreement for the purposes set out in Section 10.1.1 and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 10.2 The Parties agree to implement TDMA-based systems as follows: 10.2.1 The Parties each acknowledge and confirm that their digital standard for, in the case of Xxxxxx, the Xxxxxx System and, in the case of ACC, the ACC TDMA System, is currently (as of the Effective Date) TDMA. 10.2.2 The Parties shall deploy TDMA throughout the ACC TDMA System and the Xxxxxx System within twelve (12) months after the date of this Agreement. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promote the use of TDMA-based communications devices among their respective Customers who roam on the Xxxxxx System or the ACC TDMA System, as the case may be. 10.3 Each of the Parties agrees that it shall operate and support its TDMA-based System, to the extent installed, to ensure that the other Party's Customers can use the Adopted Features when roaming on the Serving Carrier's TDMA-based System in the same manner that such Customers use such Adopted Features on the Home Carrier's TDMA-based System.

In addition, ACC shall maintain its commitment to TDMA as ACC's digital standard for the ACC TDMA System on Exhibit A for so long as, and to the extent that, AWS maintains its commitment to TDMA as AWS's digital standard. AWS agrees that in the event it may exercise its discretion to no longer remain committed to TDMA as its digital standard, it shall inform ACC of that decision by no later than six months prior to the implementation of any non-compatible interface. Upon the implementation of any such non-compatible interface, the following Sections of this Agreement shall immediately terminate: Sections 10.1.1, 10.2.2, and 10.2.3. 10.2.2 The Parties ACC shall deploy TDMA throughout the ACC TDMA System and the Xxxxxx System within twelve (12) months after the date of this Agreement.
