23.19. Subcontractors
Where a portion of a Party’s performance under this Agreement is subcontracted, such Party remains fully responsible for performance thereof and shall be responsible to the other Party for the acts and omissions of any subcontractor.

b. | Providing financial analysis; |
c. | Verifying certifications under the Section entitled “Utilization of Minority, Women, and Disabled Veteran Owned Business Enterprises”; and |
d. | Collecting and verifying Supplier profile information. |
Supplier shall cooperate with such third party administrator in its performance of such administrative functions and shall provide such data as from time to time the third party administrator may request. Further, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Supplier agrees that AT&T may provide any information regarding Supplier to such third party administrator. Supplier agrees to pay the third party administrator an annual fee for the performance of these administrative functions, which annual fee shall not exceed [***].
23.21. Transaction Costs
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its agents, representatives, attorneys, and accountants) incurred in connection with the negotiation, drafting, execution, and performance of this Agreement and the transactions it contemplates.
24. Utilization of, Minority, Women, and Disabled Veteran Owned Business Enterprises
a. | It is the policy of AT&T that minority, women, and disabled veteran owned business enterprises (“MWDVBEs”) shall have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts. |
b. | Supplier shall make good faith efforts to carry out this policy in the award of subcontracts, distribution agreements, resale agreements, and other opportunities for MWDVBE participation. In furtherance of those efforts, and not as a limitation, Supplier shall submit annual participation plans, at the time of contract execution and each subsequent year by January 7, establishing Supplier’s goals for the year for participation by minority owned business enterprises (“MBE”), women owned business enterprises (“WBE”) and disabled veteran business enterprises (“DVBE”), with “participation” expressed as a percentage of aggregate estimated annual expenditures made by Supplier in support of the Agreement. Supplier shall include specific and detailed plans for achieving its goals in each participation plan. Supplier’s participation goals for the first year (that is, the calendar year that ends on December 31 next following the effective date of this Agreement) are: [***]% annual MBE participation; [***]% annual WBE participation; and [***]% annual DVBE participation. Supplier’s participation plan for the first year will be completed and attached to and incorporated into this Agreement as Appendix G following the Effective Date. |

43
c. | By the fourteenth day following the close of each calendar quarter, Supplier shall report actual results of its efforts to meet its goals during the preceding calendar quarter to AT&T’s Prime Supplier Program Manager, using the form attached to this Agreement as Appendix H. Supplier shall submit separate reports for AT&T and each Affiliate making purchases under this Agreement. When reporting its results, Supplier shall count only expenditures with MWDVBEs that are certified as MBE, WBE, or DVBE firms by certifying agencies that are recognized by AT&T, as listed on Appendix G. In particular, when reporting results for expenditures by Affiliates identified as “California Affiliates” in Appendix G, Supplier shall count only expenditures (i) with MBE and WBE firms certified by the California Public Utilities Commission Supplier Clearinghouse (“CPUCC”) and (ii) with DVBE firms certified by the Office of Small Business and DVBE Certification (“OSDBC”) of the California Department of General Services. |
d. | Supplier shall inform prospective MBE, WBE, and DVBE subcontractors of their opportunities to apply for certification from the agencies listed in Appendix G. In particular, Supplier shall inform MBE and WBE firms certified by agencies other than the CPUCC and the DVBE firms certified by agencies other than the OSDBC of the procedures for applying for an additional certification from the OSDBC and the CPUCC. |
e. | The extent to which suppliers (a) set challenging goals in their annual participation plans and (b) succeed in exceeding the goals that they have set are factors that AT&T may consider favorably when deciding to extend or renew expiring agreements, to apportion orders among competing suppliers under existing agreements, and to award new business in competitive bidding. |
f. | Supplier’s obligations under this Section are not a limitation of any obligations that Supplier may have under other provisions of this Agreement, including the Section entitled “Government Contract Provisions”. |

Xxxxxxxx X – End User Support
1. | AT&T is responsible for all providing the first point of contact (“Tier I”) for Customer inquiries and determining the nature of the inquiry for resolution. AT&T is responsible for addressing all inquiries principally concerning the Wireless Services, the Customer’s account or billing for the Wireless Services or Supplier Satellite Services, and for first level of care for Supplier Satellite Service and Equipment inquiries as described in paragraphs 2 and 3 below. Supplier is responsible for all Customer inquiries principally concerning Supplier Satellite Service and the Equipment, and to that end will provide a Customer support capability to augment (“Tier II”) the Tier I support provided by AT&T. |
2. | Customers and End Users of the Supplier Satellite Service (or their designated service personnel) will call AT&T’s call center with issues or questions, and AT&T will serve as Tier I care. AT&T shall follow a Supplier provided care script to assist in quickly identifying the trouble, and if possible resolving the issue, prior to a trouble call escalation hand-off to a Supplier for further investigation and resolution. Once the issue has been determined to be regarding a Supplier Satellite Service issue or an Equipment issue that cannot be handled by Tier I care support, the call will be handed off “warm” to the Supplier support personnel (Tier II support) during normal Supplier business hours (9am – 5pm EST, Mon-Fri), or by “cold” hand-off outside of Supplier’s normal business hours. If the issue can be resolved on the phone the call is successful and ends. If it cannot be so resolved, additional action will be taken by Supplier as needed and appropriate. |
3. | Since the goal is to provide expeditious resolution to experienced troubles, the care script will be developed with an intention of allowing AT&T Tier I support to accurately identify and resolve common issues, thereby reducing the number of cases where Customers must be transferred between AT&T and Supplier or otherwise delayed in receiving a problem resolution. The following table shall be followed to guide the development of the care relationship between AT&T and Supplier. |

4. | Supplier will require access to AT&T End User Data to properly support the Customer. Subject to the terms and conditions in Section 4 of the Agreement (“AT&T End User Data”), Supplier is granted appropriate rights and access to the End User Data for purposes of providing customer service, support and trouble resolution as described herein. |
5. | Information on resolution of Customer care calls transferred to Supplier will be provided back to AT&T through an established and agreed upon process. This feedback should be provided back to AT&T on an as needed basis. |
Proprietary and Confidential
This Agreement and information contained therein is not for use or disclosure outside of AT&T, its Affiliates, and

6. | Supplier shall be allowed to initiate pro-active Customer care calls to Supplier Satellite Service subscribers to follow up on previous Customer care calls. |
7. | AT&T and Supplier will collaborate to create and administer Customer feedback surveys in order to improve the Customer experience. |
8. | Supplier is responsible for all Customer Tier II care not otherwise addressable by AT&T using the Supplier provided Customer care scripts with commercially reasonable care and diligence with respect to the use and functionality of the Supplier Satellite Service and Equipment. |
9. | Supplier will redirect all non-Supplier issues (i.e., contacts which are not principally concerned with the Supplier Satellite Service and/or the Equipment) back to AT&T Customer Care via a warm transfer unless a cold transfer is requested by the Customer. If the issues are neither related to the Supplier Satellite Service or Equipment nor to the Wireless Services, Supplier will cooperate in good faith with AT&T to help troubleshoot and resolve the problem with the Customer. |
10. | AT&T and Supplier agree to develop and refine product and service documentation on an ongoing basis, and where appropriate to make this information available to Customers and End Users in an effort to proactively reduce customer service inquiries and improve Customer satisfaction. |

Appendix C – Service Level Agreement
Supplier Service Level Agreement
If Supplier Satellite Service from a Supplier satellite spot beam is interrupted for [***], Supplier will issue AT&T, upon request, a credit equal to a pro-rata adjustment of the monthly Supplier Satellite Service subscription for the time period Supplier Satellite Service was unavailable, not to exceed the total monthly Supplier Satellite Service subscription. The formula for this adjustment is as follows:

Appendix D – Customer Provisioning Processes
1. | For purposes of Customers with an AT&T business agreement for Wireless Services, “Activation Provider” means AT&T’s direct sales force, the AT&T Business Alliance Channel, and any other sales channel authorized by AT&T in its sole discretion. For purposes of Customers with an AT&T consumer agreement for Wireless Services, “Activation Provider” means AT&T’s National Indirect Retailers and any other sales channel authorized by AT&T in its sole discretion. |
2. | At time of ordering, Customer or End User will be required to purchase, at a minimum, qualified AT&T voice and data rate plans for Wireless Services and a qualified Supplier Satellite Service subscription. |
3. | The Activation Provider will be responsible for entry of the Customer order into AT&T systems. |
4. | Activation Provider is responsible for ensuring that activated SIM and Equipment are provided to the Customer for all End Users. |
5. | In the case of “upgrade” orders (Customer is buying Equipment and switching an active line of Wireless Services to such Equipment), the Activation Provider must obtain the SIM card information along with the other order information, and ensure that the Supplier Satellite Service feature is provisioned. |
6. | Via a standard AT&T Third Party Provisioning (“3PP”) system link, Activation Provider will provide Supplier with the appropriate Customer activation identifiers for all End Users (SIM ID and phone number) so that Supplier is able to authenticate all End Users associated with the Customer on Supplier’s network. Activation Providers will also update AT&T’s home location register (“HLR”) with SIM card information and ensures that the SIM card that is loaded into the ordered equipment is fully functional when activated. |
7. | Once an End User has been activated by the Activation Provider, AT&T will commence invoicing the Customer for the Wireless Services and the Service Subscription pursuant to this Agreement and for roaming charges per the Roaming Agreement. |
8. | AT&T and Supplier will meet at least quarterly to discuss foregoing ordering and fulfillment process, and continuously seek to development process improvements. AT&T and Supplier agree on an ongoing basis to study and consider potential technical architecture improvements to the provisioning and service activation process, and to adopt those architecture improvements if mutually agreeable. Examples of such improvements to be studied and considered might include (but are not limited to) the creation of a unique Supplier roaming flag within AT&T’s HLR for each of its End Users that use the Supplier Satellite Service, or other equivalent technical architecture refinements that may improve the quality, reliability or provisioning capabilities of the Supplier Satellite Service. |

Supplier will cooperate with AT&T to facilitate reviews from time to time of Supplier’s use of the Marks in compliance with all AT&T Brand Guidelines, including but not limited to the required quality standards.
Supplier may not use AT&T’s Marks to disparage AT&T, its products or services, or in a manner which, in AT&T’s judgment, might diminish or otherwise damage AT&T’s goodwill in AT&T’s Marks.
Supplier may not use AT&T’s Marks (including the AT&T name) in connection with any telemarketing, email or other direct marketing activities (including but not limited to email marketing) without the prior written approval of AT&T.
In the event that AT&T, in its sole discretion, determines that Supplier is using AT&T’s Marks improperly, AT&T will notify Supplier of the improper use and Supplier must remedy the improper use within five days. In the event that Supplier does not remedy the improper use within such five-day period, AT&T may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate Supplier’s authorization to use AT&T’s Marks.
