2.9 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Amdocs will at all times until the Expiration Date, comply with and provide the business continuity services and Disaster recovery services as specified in the Disaster Recovery Plan and similar Services that are specified in each Additional Services Order. In the event of a
SPRINT/UNITED MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND AMDOCS CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT |
- 6 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
disaster, personnel ordinarily assigned to the performance of other Services for Sprint under this Agreement will, as mutually agreed by the Parties, be made available to perform business continuity and Disaster recovery services in cooperation with Sprint.
2.9.1 Disaster Recovery Plan
The Disaster Recovery Plan may be updated from time to time, to describe, in no lesser detail than the current plan, the manner in which Amdocs will perform backup, contingency operations, and disaster recovery functions, and will include: (i) the required recovery times for the Services in accordance with Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)) (for the purposes of this Agreement, any reference to Schedule C will be deemed a reference to Schedule C1 from the Effective Date through December 31, 2013 and a reference to Schedule C2 from and after January 1, 2014 (replacing Schedule C1 in its entirety)); (ii) redundancy provisions to eliminate single points of failure; (iii) business continuity measures, including physical security, UPS systems with diesel power backup, data backup and storage policies, failover procedures, redundant network connections, redirection of network communications traffic from primary to alternate sites, fire protection systems, and disaster prevention measures for each location from which Amdocs provides Services. The Disaster Recovery Plan will also provide that: (i) Amdocs will[**] purchase and maintain during the Term, an alternate data center site and the hardware and software required for the provision of Disaster recovery services; (ii) alternate routing of Sprint’s WAN (Wide Area Network) to the alternate data center site will be Sprint’s responsibility; (iii) Amdocs will be required to conduct a full test of the processes set forth in the Disaster Recovery Plan on an annual basis, and incremental testing in accordance with the Disaster Recovery Plan, and that Sprint will be permitted to oversee, and audit the results of, any such testing; and (iv) Amdocs will be responsible for [**] associated with the Disaster Recovery Plan, including but not limited to, the testing, implementation and execution thereof; provided, however, that Sprint will be responsible for [**] incurred by Sprint to perform any obligations contained in the Disaster Recovery Plan that are specifically described in such Disaster Recovery Plan as the obligations of Sprint. The Disaster Recovery Plan, including any updates, and all applicable documentation, will be subject to Sprint’s approval which will not be unreasonably withheld. Amdocs will provide Sprint with any Disaster Recovery Plan updates within a reasonable time after such update goes into effect.

2.9.2 Cutover to Alternate Data Center
Amdocs will provide Sprint written notice in the event that Amdocs believes that an event that constitutes a Disaster has occurred, but Sprint reserves final authority to determine whether to cutover to the alternate data center site in accordance with the Disaster Recovery Plan. If a Disaster has occurred and Sprint does not so grant Amdocs authority to cutover to the alternate data center site, then any Amdocs failure to perform the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement directly resulting from not exercising the cutover to

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Amdocs will be permitted to amend Schedule E (Data Centers) to include additional locations (“Additional Data Centers”); provided however, that any such Additional Data Center will be subject to the reasonable approval of Sprint. In exercising its discretion to approve an Additional Data Center, the Parties agree and acknowledge that it is Sprint’s reasonable preference that the Services generally be performed in the United States. In addition, Amdocs acknowledges and agrees that support activities and Maintenance Services often require communication made extremely difficult if Amdocs personnel performing such Services are located outside the United States. In the event that Amdocs elects to perform certain of the Services outside the United States (including those cases where Sprint has approved an Additional Data Center located outside the United States), (i) no CPSs will be adjusted due to such Services being performed outside of the United States, (ii) such Services will be performed in accordance with the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including Section 7.8 (Services from [**]), and (iii) Amdocs will ensure that (A) the Services will be performed either less expensively or more efficiently outside the United States and (B) Sprint will suffer no adverse consequence from the Services being performed outside the United States.

3 | RESPONSIBILITIES OF SPRINT |
3.1 Generally
Sprint agrees to perform the tasks specifically identified as Sprint tasks on Schedule B (Roles and Responsibilities). Sprint may use Subcontractors or a Third Party Provider to perform any service required to be performed by it hereunder; provided, however, that Sprint agrees not to use any such Subcontractor to perform any tasks designated as Sprint tasks in Schedule B (Roles and Responsibilities) that are related to development of the Customized Product, if such Subcontractor is an Amdocs Competitor; provided further, however, that the restriction contained in the preceding clause will not prohibit Sprint from using the services of any Subcontractor that is an Amdocs Competitor, provided such Amdocs Competitor (i) signs a confidentiality agreement with Amdocs that contains confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in Section 7 (Confidential Information and Security) and (ii) is not permitted access to source code or Documentation for the Customized Product; provided further, however, that any Amdocs Competitor will be permitted to design or construct technology that interfaces with the Customized Product, provided that such Subcontractor satisfies the requirement set forth in the preceding clause (i).
3.2 Overhead; Supplies
In the case of, or to the extent that any of the Services are to be performed by Amdocs at Sprint’s premises, Sprint will provide to Amdocs, to the extent reasonably available from Sprint’s existing resources at the time it is determined such Services are to be performed by Amdocs at Sprint’s premises, [**] such space, office furnishings, janitorial service, telephone service (for calls within the United States), utilities (including air conditioning), office-related equipment (excluding computers), supplies, duplicating services, and premises security services in Sprint’s facilities as Amdocs reasonably requires in connection with the performance of the Services, consistent with those that Sprint provides for its own personnel. At all Sprint facilities, Sprint will provide Amdocs reasonable access to and use of Sprint’s voice and data telecommunications equipment and telecommunications lines (for use with communications within the United States), including printers, terminals, and cabling. In addition, Sprint will provide Amdocs with a data line connected to those Amdocs’ Data Centers, and to a development center designated by Amdocs; provided that such Data Centers and development center are located in the United States. Sprint will give Amdocs access to such facilities [**]; provided that: (i) Amdocs complies with Sprint’s security requirements and (ii) Amdocs schedules such access so as to minimize any impact on the running of Sprint’s business. Sprint will be responsible for [**] at Sprint’s facilities that the Parties agree are required for Amdocs to provide the Services. For avoidance of doubt, in no event will this provision [**] to obtain new or additional, or retain existing, office space for the purpose of being able to provide Amdocs Sprint premises from which to perform Services but rather Sprint will re-allocate existing available premises for such purpose.

4 | RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT |
4.1 Steering Committee
The Parties will establish and maintain a Steering Committee, which will be composed of an equal number of Amdocs’ representatives and Sprint’s representatives. The initial representatives and their positions with Sprint and Amdocs, respectively, are set forth in Schedule G (Key Personnel and Steering Committee). The members appointed by either Party may be replaced at the discretion of such Party. The general responsibilities of the Steering Committee will be to: (i) monitor the performance of the Services; and (ii) analyze and attempt to resolve matters referred by Key Executive Personnel pursuant to Section 4.5 (Dispute Resolution). The Steering Committee will meet as frequently as requested by either Party, not to exceed once every [**] days, with at a minimum, [**] business days’ prior written notice, to discuss the status of the Services and significant events that have occurred since the previous meeting.

4.2 Key Personnel
4.2.1 Amdocs’ Key Personnel
Each of Amdocs’ Key Executive Personnel and Key Non-Executive Personnel (collectively referred to as “Amdocs Key Personnel”) are identified in Schedule G (Key Personnel and Steering Committee), as may be amended from time to time during the Term. Amdocs will use all reasonable efforts to retain its Key Personnel and will not reassign any of Amdocs’ Key Personnel during the Term, except in the event of termination of employ of an individual either by Amdocs or by the employee, without Sprint’s prior written consent to an appropriate transition plan and at least [**] calendar days in advance (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to other functions if doing so would require the alteration or reduction of such Key Personnel’s contribution to, or involvement with, Amdocs’ obligations under this Agreement. Amdocs will always coordinate with Sprint any reassignment resulting in alteration or reduction of time expended by personnel in performance of Amdocs’ duties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Key Non-Executive Personnel may be assigned additional functions so long as such Key Non-Executive Personnel retain the ability to continue to provide services under this Agreement. If any one of Amdocs’ Key Personnel is reassigned and therefore becomes unable to perform the functions or responsibilities assigned to him or her, or is no longer employed by Amdocs, Amdocs will promptly replace such person with another person at least as well qualified who will promptly become knowledgeable regarding the Services. Sprint will not be assessed any charges for any Services performed by, or otherwise with respect to, such person replacing Key Personnel (or any replacement made pursuant to Section 4.2.6 (Individual Performance)) during his or her [**] as the replacement person. For the avoidance of doubt, Amdocs may promote any of its Key Personnel, provided that any such promotion does not result in Amdocs violating the above restriction on reassigning
SPRINT/UNITED MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND AMDOCS CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT |
- 11 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
its Key Personnel. Amdocs’ Key Non-Executive Personnel will act as the primary liaisons between Amdocs and Sprint’s Key Non-Executive Personnel. In addition to the above, the Parties will review on at least an annual basis the list of Amdocs’ Key Personnel and mutually agree to any additions and deletions thereto.
4.2.2 Sprint’s Key Personnel
Each of Sprint’s Key Executive Personnel and Key Non-Executive Personnel (collectively referred to as “Sprint’s Key Personnel”) are identified in Schedule G (Key Personnel and Steering Committee), as may be amended from time to time during the Term. If any one of Sprint’s Key Personnel is unable to perform the functions or responsibilities assigned to him or her in connection with this Agreement, or if he or she is no longer employed by Sprint, Sprint will promptly replace such person or reassign the functions or responsibilities to another person. Sprint’s Key Non-Executive Personnel will act as the primary liaisons between Sprint and Amdocs’ Key Non-Executive Personnel. In addition to the above, the Parties will review on at least an annual basis the list of Sprint’s Key Personnel and mutually agree to any additions and deletions thereto.
4.2.3 Additional Personnel
In addition to Amdocs’ Key Personnel, Amdocs will make available such additional Amdocs Personnel as are necessary to properly perform the Services.
4.2.4 Non-Solicitation of Employees
During the Term and for [**] months thereafter, neither Party will, without the other Party’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in such Party’s sole discretion, directly or indirectly solicit any employee of the other Party whose duties and responsibilities include: (i) participation, directly or indirectly, in the performance of this Agreement; or (ii) the performance of other information or technology services; to leave the other Party’s employ in order to accept employment with the soliciting Party, its Affiliates, or contractors or any other Person.
4.2.5 Responsibility of Personnel
Each Party will be responsible for the management, direction, control, supervision and compensation of its own employees.
4.2.6 Individual Performance
Notwithstanding Section 4.2.1 (Amdocs’ Key Personnel), if Sprint believes that the performance or conduct of any person or Subcontractor employed or retained by Amdocs to perform the Services is, for any reason, unsatisfactory to Sprint or is not in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Sprint may so notify Amdocs and upon any such notice Amdocs will promptly remedy the performance or conduct of such person, or, at Sprint’s reasonable request, replace such person with another person reasonably acceptable to Sprint.

4.3 Dedicated Hardware
In the event that Amdocs will provide services to any Third Party using hardware with which Amdocs provides Services to Sprint hereunder, such use with such Third Party will be subject to all relevant confidentiality and security related provisions of this Agreement.
4.4 Acceptance Testing
4.4.1 Software Component Testing
(a) Amdocs will design, develop and execute the Unit Testing, Sub System Testing, Amdocs Integration Testing, and System Testing, of the Customized Product, all components thereof and any other software to be provided hereunder in connection with each Release. The Parties will conduct the Testing Activities (as defined below) in accordance with the process set forth below in order to verify compliance of the Customized Product with the applicable Impact Assessment Document and Amdocs will provide such assistance and cooperation to Sprint as is reasonably requested by Sprint in connection with Integrated System Testing, Performance Testing, and Acceptance Testing in accordance with this Agreement, including Schedule B (Roles and Responsibilities) (collectively, the “Amdocs Testing Activities”). With the reasonable assistance of Amdocs, Sprint will conduct Integrated System Testing, Performance Testing, and Acceptance Testing and assist Amdocs with System Testing of the Customized Product (collectively, the “Sprint Testing Activities,” and collectively with the Amdocs Testing Activities, the “Testing Activities”). Amdocs must meet the System Testing exit criteria prior to Acceptance Test or as agreed between the two parties. The Parties will commence good faith discussions to set a System Testing exit criteria as well as the decisive factors that needs to be met by the Parties prior to the System Testing exit date. For Amdocs’ System Testing activities, Sprint will provide Amdocs, at least [**] days, or other timeframe as agreed upon by the Parties, to the commencement of the Acceptance Testing referred to herein below, with all of the test cases to be used by Sprint for the Sprint Testing Activities. For all Testing Activities, Amdocs will provide Sprint, upon prior request, with access to any test case databases, test cases executed, test data used, defect logs, test entrance and exit criteria, and data from Amdocs’ data extraction tool, and any relevant test result documentation. Sprint will also provide access to its defect management tool to all relevant Amdocs personnel for the purposes of fixing defects opened by Sprint. In addition, Sprint will provide Amdocs with reasonable access to the Sprint break-fix environment providing interfaces to, NMS, NPS, SMG (WLNP), Paymentech, and EAI so that Amdocs can conduct end-to-end testing as part of production fixes or next build or release testing hereunder. Amdocs may not access or use any other or future systems interfacing with the Customized Product unless the Parties mutually agree to provide such access. In the event that Amdocs’s lack of access or use of any other or future systems interfacing with the Customized Product results in Amdocs’ inability to verify compliance of the Customized Product, Amdocs will identify the resulting risks to Sprint in the applicable Impact Assessment Document.
(b) Sprint reserves the right to observe and verify Amdocs’ performance of and results from all Amdocs Testing Activities, including review of test cases (except for Unit Testing and Sub System Testing), test execution and test results of the software
SPRINT/UNITED MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND AMDOCS CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT |
- 13 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
components contained or to be contained in the Customized Product, including Customizations pursuant to the applicable Impact Assessment Document (“Software Components”). Upon Amdocs’ notification to Sprint that Amdocs has completed Unit Testing and System Testing of all of the Software Components and such Software Components have been verified in writing by Sprint to be free of known Priority 1 defects (as defined in Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)) and any other agreed to System Testing exit criteria, or Sprint and Amdocs mutually agree in writing to proceed with Acceptance Testing notwithstanding the existence of known defects, Sprint will promptly begin the Acceptance Testing of such Software Components in environments using actual test data, if applicable, and test generated data. No later than [**] calendar days prior to System Testing, Amdocs will provide to Sprint a draft of the detailed test scripts used in System Testing consisting of the detailed run books, test calendars, and any other test case material that is used as a part of System Testing. Amdocs will deliver a final version of the System Testing cases upon Amdocs’ beginning of System Testing. Further, for each Release Amdocs will provide [**] of training on the Customized Product for Sprint personnel conducting Acceptance Testing. During each cycle of Acceptance Testing, if Sprint determines that a Software Component, or the Customized Product as a whole, has a material defect or is not performing according to the Specifications, or does not perform as warranted in Section 11 (Warranty), Sprint will report the discrepancies to Amdocs. During the Acceptance Testing, Amdocs must correct the deficiencies in the time frames specified for the corresponding priority correction in Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)). Sprint may re-run cycles of Acceptance Testing until such a time that Sprint is satisfied with the quality of the Software Component. Sprint’s undertaking of Acceptance Testing does not imply acknowledgement of defect-free software, nor does it limit Sprint’s ability or right to later discover and report product defects. Upon Sprint’s verification that the Software Components are free of known defects or Sprint’s determination to proceed with known defects, Sprint will notify Amdocs in writing that acceptance of such Software Component (“Acceptance”), has occurred. Sprint’s determination to proceed with known defects will not limit Amdocs’ obligation to timely correct such defects.
(c) Upon successful completion of the Acceptance Testing (during which all errors or defects, if any which have been detected in the Customized Product are cured by Amdocs), and upon a subsequent “go live” decision by Sprint, Sprint will begin to use the Customized Product, in a production environment. Sprint will be deemed to have issued its “Acceptance” of the applicable Release upon Amdocs’ correction of any material errors detected and identified to Amdocs and associated with the Release (i) prior to the “go live” date; and (ii) during the period commencing on the “go live” date and ending on the later of: (x) [**] subsequent to such “go live” date and (y) [**] after the completion of the first billing cycle using the applicable Release. For purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 4.4.1(c), material errors are Priority 1 and Priority 2 Issues as defined in Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)) and associated with the Release. Subsequent to “Acceptance,” Amdocs will be required to correct any errors in the applicable Release in accordance with this Agreement, including the Schedules hereto.
(d) Notwithstanding the above, the Parties agree that Production CRs, due to their nature as defined in Section 12.1 (Defined Terms), will be tested by Amdocs and the provisions of this Section 4.4.1 will not apply to Production CRs. However, the Parties agree
SPRINT/UNITED MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND AMDOCS CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT |
- 14 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
that Sprint will have the right, in its sole discretion (i) to require specific testing on a case by case basis provided such testing is coordinated in advance with Amdocs and has no effect on the applicable Production CRs development timetable or agreed to cost (unless any delay in such timetable is agreed to in writing by Sprint and will not be considered a delay by Amdocs) and (ii) Sprint will have the right, upon coordination in advance with Amdocs to observe, and/or participate in, any such testing. Amdocs will deliver to Sprint the results of any testing conducted pursuant to this paragraph.
4.4.2 Non Software Acceptance
Each material Deliverable required to be provided for Sprint pursuant to an Additional Services Order hereunder that is not a Software Component will also be subject to acceptance by Sprint as provided below. The Parties will establish specific approval criteria with respect to each material non-software Deliverable hereunder, and will include such approval criteria within the applicable Additional Services Order. Sprint will review each such Deliverable under any such specifically established approval criteria and within the time established for that Deliverable pursuant to the applicable Additional Services Order (or, if none is so established then within a reasonable time). Upon completion of the reviews, Sprint will notify Amdocs in writing of Sprint’s approval (an “Approving Notice”) or non-approval (a “Non-Approving Notice”) of the Deliverable. Non-approval may be determined only due to a failure to meet the Deliverable specific approval criteria therefor, or, in the absence of such Deliverable specific approval criteria, a material defect. In the event that Sprint does not send to Amdocs an Approving Notice or a Non-Approving Notice within [**] days of delivery, the Deliverable will be deemed accepted. If the Deliverable is not approved, Sprint will include in the Non-Approving Notice a statement of the material defect or the Deliverable specific approval criteria that were not met. Amdocs agrees that it will correct any identified material defects or failures of a non-approved Deliverable to meet the Deliverable specific approval criteria promptly, and in any event, within any time frame established in the applicable Additional Services Order [**]. Upon delivery of the revised Deliverable, the review process described above will recommence with respect to all aspects of such Deliverable that were to have been corrected and any other aspects that may have been affected as a result of such corrections.
4.4.3 Effect of Reviews
Notwithstanding any opportunity for Sprint to inspect any intermediate Deliverables, no testing pursuant to Section 4.4 (Acceptance Testing) or Approving Notice will constitute a waiver of or otherwise relieve Amdocs from its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation pursuant to the warranties of Section 11 (Warranty) hereof and no Approving Notice with respect to an intermediate deliverable will obligate Sprint with respect to, or constitute, approval or acceptance of the Customized Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.4.3 (Effect of Reviews) will not affect the acceptance of the Customized Product in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4.1 (Software Component Testing). No quality assurance, acceptance test, or other similar procedure, other than the procedure set forth in Sections 4.4.1 (Software Component Testing) and 4.4.2 (Non-Software Acceptance) above, will be deemed to obligate Sprint with respect to, or necessarily to constitute, legal “acceptance” of any Deliverable provided by Amdocs under this Agreement and no such procedure will be deemed to waive any right or remedy under this Agreement.

In the exceptional event that the Presidents of the Parties or their respective designees cannot resolve the dispute within a time frame agreed to by the Presidents (or, if not agreed, within a period of [**] calendar days), the dispute will be resolved as provided for in Section 13.6 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction).
4.5.3 No Termination or Suspension of Services
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and even if any dispute arises between the Parties and regardless of whether or not it requires at any time the use of the dispute resolution procedures described above, in no event nor for any reason will Amdocs interrupt the provision of Services to Sprint, disable the Customized Product, or any portion thereof or any other Deliverable hereunder, or perform any other action that prevents,

- 16 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
slows down, or reduces in any way the provision of the Services or Sprint’s ability to conduct its business (with any such interruption, disablement, or other action, being referred to herein as a “Suspension”), unless: (i) authority to do so is granted by Sprint in writing or conferred by the Arbitrator or by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) Sprint has failed to pay Amdocs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement at least [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs’ charges relating to a period of [**] days or more hereunder; provided that (x) such charges are at least [**] days past due; (y) Amdocs has advised Sprint’s Key Executive Personnel in writing of Sprint’s failure to make timely payment of such amounts and that Amdocs reserves the right to terminate or suspend the Services in accordance with the Agreement if such amounts are not fully paid within [**] days of Amdocs’ above written notice, and (z) Sprint has not paid such amounts in full by the later of the [**] day period specified in (x) above or the [**] day period specified in (y) above; or (iii) this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 6 (Term and Termination), and Amdocs has performed all of its obligations under Section 6.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)). The Parties further agree that notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section 4.5.3 (No Termination or Suspension of Services), Amdocs will not be entitled to undertake a Suspension in the event that Sprint has failed to pay Amdocs, in accordance with this Agreement, any portion (i.e., [**] percent ([**]%)) of Amdocs’ charges relating to such period of [**] days or more, if with respect to any amount greater than [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs’ charges relating to such period of [**] days or more, Sprint’s Chief Information Officer or Chief Operations Officer will have determined reasonably and in good faith that such amount is a “disputed amount” in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2.9(d) (Payments) hereof.
4.5.4 Injunctive Relief
Neither Party will be obligated to follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)), Section 4.5.1 (Problems) and Section 0 (Unresolved Disputes), and each Party will be entitled to seek relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, in order to seek injunctive relief for violations of this Agreement, provided that the Party seeking relief will provide the other Party [**] business day’s notice prior to seeking such relief, which notice will include a description of why it is seeking such relief and during which [**] day notice the Party seeking such relief will attempt in good faith to discuss the issue with a Key Executive Personnel or a Steering Committee member of the other Party.
4.6 Sprint’s Policies
Amdocs will ensure that it, its employees, agents, and Subcontractors comply with the following applicable internal Sprint policies and, prospectively after notice, such additional policies as may be provided by Sprint to Amdocs in writing from time to time, and Amdocs will cooperate with Sprint to facilitate Sprint’s compliance with such policies, provided that nothing in these policies contradicts any United States law, rule or regulation:

6.2.5 Effect of Termination

Termination will be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a termination by Sprint, Amdocs will perform its Disentanglement obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Termination will not constitute a Party’s exclusive remedy for such a Critical Default, and such Party will not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Critical Default. Sprint will not be required to pay Amdocs any Exit Fee or other termination fees if Sprint terminates the Term for Critical Default. If Sprint ends the Term as a result of a claimed Critical Default by Amdocs and it is determined by the Arbitrator that no Critical Default was committed, then the termination will be deemed a termination for convenience, pursuant to Section 6.2.1 (Termination for Convenience), and Amdocs will have all remedies available to it, in accordance with Section 10.2 (Remedies) hereof, in connection with such determination that no Default was committed.
(b) For purposes of this Section 6.3 (Termination for Cause), a “Critical Default” of Amdocs will mean each of the defaults described in clauses (a), (d), (e) and (g) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder only; and a “Critical Default” of Sprint will mean the default described in clause (f) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder, i.e., Sprint’s failure to pay Amdocs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement more than [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs’ charges relating to a period of [**] days or more hereunder; provided that (x) such charges are at least [**] days past due; (y) Amdocs has advised Sprint’s Program Manager in writing of Sprint’s failure to make timely payment of such amounts and that Amdocs reserves the right to terminate or suspend the Services in accordance with the Agreement if such amounts are not fully paid within [**] days of Amdocs’ above written notice, and (z) Sprint has not paid such amounts in full by the later of the [**] day period specified in (x) above or the [**] day period specified in (y) above; and provided further, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided above, there will not be deemed to have occurred a “Critical Default” of Sprint hereunder in the event that Sprint has failed to pay Amdocs, in accordance with this Agreement, any portion (i.e., up to [**] percent ([**]%)) of Amdocs’ charges relating to such period of [**] days or more, if with respect to any amount greater than [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs’ charges relating to such period of [**] days or more, Sprint’s Chief Information Officer or Chief Operations Officer will have determined such amount is a “disputed amount” in accordance with Section 5.2.9 (Payments) hereof.

6.3.2 Material Defaults
(a) In the event that Sprint believes Amdocs has committed a Default described in clause (f) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder or either Party believes the other Party has committed a Default described in clause (c) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder (each referred to hereinafter as a “Material Default”), the Party asserting that such Material Default has been committed will provide the other Party with written notice of such claim, and within [**] calendar days of the date of such notification the matter will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 13.6 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction). The purpose of such arbitration will be to determine, assuming the truth of all claims of the Party asserting that such Material Default has been committed, whether the other Party’s failure or breach is “material” for purposes of clause (c) or (f) of Section 12.1.58 (Default), as the case may be. The Arbitrators will make its initial determination of materiality, and if the Arbitrators confirms that the asserted failure or breach is “material,” then the Arbitrators must determine whether the asserted Material Default was in fact committed and was not cured within the applicable cure period therefor, if any (i.e., that the conditions of a Default under clause (f) or clause (c), as the case may be, of Section 12.1.58 (Default) were met). If the Arbitrators determine that a Party did in fact commit a Material Default, or the Arbitrators fail to render a determination within [**] months of the original notification as to whether such Material Default was in fact committed, then the Party asserting such Material Default will have the right to terminate this Agreement. The [**] month time limit during which the Arbitrators must determine whether a Party has in fact committed a Material Default will be reduced by the number of days in excess of [**] elapsing between the date of the original notice described above and the date of the Arbitrators’ initial threshold determination of materiality.
(b) In the event that the Arbitrators rule that a Material Default has been committed by a Party, the other Party may initiate the termination by sending the other Party a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date will be [**] days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination will be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date, and, in the event of such a termination, Amdocs will perform its Disentanglement obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Upon termination by Sprint pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 (Material Defaults), Amdocs will [**] subsequent to the expiration of any cure period contained in clause (c) or clause (f), as the case may be, of Section 12.1.58 (Default). Termination will not constitute a Party’s exclusive remedy for a Material Default of the other Party, and the Arbitrator will have time beyond the [**] month time period referenced above to determine the damages due to a Party for such asserted failure or breach of the other Party hereunder. Further, a Party will not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to submitting the original notice described above, and Sprint will not be required to pay Amdocs any Exit Fee or other termination fees if Sprint terminates the Term pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 (Material Defaults). Further, the non-prevailing Party in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 (Material Defaults) will be required to pay the arbitration costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, of the other Party. If a Party asserting a Material Default terminates this Agreement, in accordance herewith, on the basis of the Arbitrator’s failure to render a determination within [**] months of the original notification, as to whether such Material Default was in fact committed, the arbitration will continue in order to determine whether such Material Default was committed; and if such determination is that neither a Critical Default or a Material Default was committed, then the termination will be deemed a termination for convenience, pursuant to Section 6.2.1 (Termination for Convenience).

6.3.3 Other Defaults
In the event that either Party (the “First Party”) commits an Other Default, the other Party (the “Second Party”) may, after providing the First Party with written notice of such Other Default, submit the matter to the escalation procedures set forth in Section 4.5 (Dispute Resolution). If, as a result of such procedure, the Arbitrator determines that the First Party did in fact commit an Other Default, then the Second Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending the First Party a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date will be [**] days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination will be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a termination by Sprint, [**]. Termination will not constitute the Second Party’s exclusive remedy for such an Other Default, and the Second Party will not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Other Default. Sprint will [**]. For purposes of this Section 6.3 (Termination for Cause), an “Other Default” of Amdocs will mean the Default described in clause (b) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder and an “Other Default” of Sprint will mean the Default described in clause (e) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder.
6.4 Extension of Services
In the event that the Agreement has been terminated by Sprint in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event that the Primary Term has expired, Sprint may, at its sole option and discretion prior to the applicable Termination Date, extend the effective date of any such expiration or termination of the Primary Term for up to [**] successive periods of up to [**] days each beyond the applicable Termination Date, upon at least [**] days’ prior, written notice to Amdocs. The Parties hereby acknowledge, for the avoidance of doubt, that during any period of extension under this Section 6.4 (Extension of Services) all terms and conditions of this Agreement will continue to apply, including but not limited to: (i) the Monthly Subscriber Fee and (ii) the CPSs and the imposition of Performance Credits for Amdocs’ failure to meet such CPSs, and the application of bonuses with respect thereto.

6.5.1 Disentanglement Process
The Disentanglement process will begin on the earlier of the following dates: (i) the [**] day prior to the end of the Term; or (ii) the date a Termination Notice is delivered by Sprint. During the Disentanglement process, Amdocs will perform certain services related to the transition of any terminated Services to Sprint or Sprint’s designee as described herein below (the “Disentanglement Services”), including but not limited to, after the Termination Date, certain continuation of the Services or any component thereof (the “Continuation Services”).

After the Termination Date, Amdocs will provide the Disentanglement Services, including the Continuation Services, as and to the extent reasonably requested by Sprint, for up to [**] months after the Termination Date (the “Initial Disentanglement Period”), including any extensions thereof under Section 6.4 (Extension of Services) hereof (with the date on which Amdocs’ obligation to provide Disentanglement Services expires being referred to herein as the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that, upon [**] days’ prior written notice, Sprint may extend such Expiration Date by up to [**] additional [**] month periods (each, an “Additional Disentanglement Period” and collectively, the “Additional Disentanglement Periods”). Following the Termination Date (i.e., during the Initial Disentanglement Period and Additional Disentanglement Periods, if any), the CPSs will remain in effect; provided, however, that Amdocs will not be subject to the application of any Performance Credits, or entitled to earn any Bonuses (as such term is defined in Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs))), during either the Initial Disentanglement Period or any Additional Disentanglement Period. The Parties will discuss in good faith a plan for determining the nature and extent of Sprint’s Disentanglement obligations and for the transfer of Services in process, provided, however, that Amdocs’ obligations under this Agreement to provide all Disentanglement Services reasonably requested by Sprint will not be lessened, to the extent practicable. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in the Agreement, all terms and conditions of the Agreement will continue to apply during the Initial Disentanglement Period and during any Additional Disentanglement Periods.
6.5.2 General Obligations
Amdocs will take all actions reasonably necessary to accomplish, on the Termination Date, a complete transition of responsibility for the Services being terminated from Amdocs to Sprint, or to any replacement provider designated by Sprint, including the performance by Amdocs of all of the obligations imposed upon it pursuant to this Section 6.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)), with no material interruption of or adverse impact on the Services or any other services provided by Third Parties (collectively, a “Disentanglement”). Prior to the Termination Date, Amdocs will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sprint and any new service provider and to perform the Disentanglement Services requested by Sprint and otherwise promptly take all steps required to assist Sprint in effecting a complete Disentanglement. Amdocs will perform the Disentanglement Services in accordance with the manner in which it provides similar services to its similarly sized customers.

Sprint will promptly provide Amdocs with written notice that Disentanglement satisfactory to Sprint has occurred (“Disentanglement Notice”). If Sprint refuses to issue the Disentanglement Notice based on its determination that Amdocs has not yet completed its Disentanglement obligations provided in this Section 6.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)), and Amdocs disagrees with such determination, Amdocs may submit the matter to the escalation procedures set forth in Section 4.5 (Dispute Resolution). Irrespective of the passing of the anticipated Termination Date, Amdocs’ obligation to perform the Disentanglement will not cease until the Expiration Date.
6.5.3 Specific Obligations
The Disentanglement will include the performance of the following specific obligations:
(a) After delivery of the Termination Notice, the Parties will cooperate fully with one another to facilitate a smooth transition of the Services from Amdocs to Sprint or Sprint’s designated replacement provider. Such cooperation will include the provision (both before and after the Termination Date) by Amdocs to Sprint of sufficient information available to Amdocs (including all information then being utilized by Amdocs) to enable Sprint’s personnel (or that of Third Party Providers) who are reasonably skilled in the provision of services similar to the Services, to fully assume and continue the provision of the Services.
(b) Amdocs will use commercially reasonable efforts to convey or assign to Sprint (or its designee), any leases, licenses, and other agreements (except facility and financing leases), to the extent permissible under such agreements, that are requested by Sprint and are held by Amdocs (or cause to be conveyed or assigned any of the same held by any Affiliate of Amdocs) and used by Amdocs, Sprint, or any Subcontractor in connection with the provision or receipt of the Services (the “Essential Agreements”). Furthermore, whenever any Essential Agreement is extended, renewed, or renegotiated, Amdocs will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the other party’s consent to such conveyance or assignment. Amdocs’ obligation under this subsection will include Amdocs’ using commercially reasonable efforts to perform all obligations under the Essential Agreements that are to be performed by it with respect to periods prior to the date of conveyance or assignment to Sprint (or its designee).

(c) Expanded License to Customized Materials and Standard Materials
(i) Sprint may, at its sole option and discretion, effective [**] or the [**] and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.5.5(c) (Expanded License to Customized Materials and Standard Materials), purchase the following expansion of existing licenses provided herein from Amdocs (the “Expanded License Option”) for a one-time non-recurring fee of [**] Dollars ($[**]) (the “Non-Recurring License Fee”), plus the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee described below.

Agreement, the 2006 Agreement (as Customized Materials are defined in the 2006 Agreement) or the Original Agreement (as Customized Materials are defined in the Original Agreement). Concurrently with and automatically upon exercise of the Expanded License Option by Sprint as permitted hereunder and the concurrent full payment of the Non-Recurring License Fee, and only subject to such payment of the Non-Recurring License Fee and continued payment of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee, Amdocs grants to Sprint the following expanded licenses:
(1) a royalty-free, fully-paid, perpetual (subject to the continuing payment of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee to the extent applicable), non-transferable (except as permitted in this Agreement) license to Sprint (or its designee) to use, copy, modify, and exploit [**] the benefit of the use of, the Customized Materials [**] (subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 (Sprint Parties) hereof), in connection with the conduct of Sprint’s [**] business (which business will not include marketing itself, and operating as, a re-seller or re-licensor of software), with a right [**] to use, copy, and modify such Customized Materials solely to provide services to Sprint and subject to Section 6.5.5(e) (Confidentiality of Amdocs Material); and
(2) a royalty-free, fully-paid, perpetual (subject to the continuing payment of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee to the extent applicable), non-exclusive license to Sprint (or its designee), to use, copy, modify, and exploit [**] the benefit of the use of, any Amdocs Standard Materials, and all derivatives thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 (Sprint Parties) hereof), with a right to [**] to use, and copy such Amdocs Standard Materials for the sole purpose of providing services to Sprint and subject to Section 6.5.5(e) (Confidentiality of Amdocs Material).
(ii) Concurrently with the payment of the Non-Recurring License Fee after exercise of the Expanded License Option as permitted herein, Amdocs will deliver to Sprint (regardless of whether a condition for release of the Escrow Deposit has occurred), in such media and format as reasonably requested by Sprint, (i) a complete electronic copy of all Customized Materials (including, without limitation, the object code, [**], and Documentation) and (ii) all Amdocs Standard Materials (including, without limitation, the object code of the Generic Product and Documentation, but excluding the source code of the Generic Product). In the event that, at any time after proper exercise of the Expanded License Option hereunder, Sprint does not make any required payment of any undisputed portion of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee, Amdocs will provide Sprint with written notice of such payment default. If the undisputed portion of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee is not fully paid within [**] days of Amdocs written notice, the licenses granted under this Section 6.5.5(c) (Expanded License to Customized Materials and Standard Materials) will terminate at such time and Sprint will return or destroy, at Amdocs’ option, all Customized Materials and Standard Materials previously delivered to Sprint hereunder. For the purpose of clarification, exercise of the Expanded License Option by Sprint hereunder will provide Sprint solely with a license as set forth herein and in no way is intended to or will affect ownership of Standard Materials (in which Amdocs will continue to own all right, title and interest) or Customized Materials (in which Amdocs will continue to own all right, title and interest, except as may be specifically set forth pursuant to this Agreement or an ASO).

(iii) The licenses granted in this Section 6.5.5(c) (Licenses to Customized Materials and Standard Materials) do not in any way reduce or expand the scope or term of any licenses or other rights otherwise granted to Sprint under this Agreement, or reduce or expand any other obligations of Amdocs hereunder, other than as specifically set forth herein.
(iv) No later than the earlier of (i) [**], or (ii) within [**] days after the [**], Sprint will notify Amdocs in writing of its intent to exercise or not exercise the Expanded License Option. If Sprint exercises the Expanded License Option, the entire Non-Recurring License Fee will be due and payable to Amdocs within [**] days of the notice of exercise. In addition to the Non-Recurring License Fee, Sprint will pay Amdocs a subsequent subscriber license fee, calculated annually on each anniversary of the end of the calendar quarter in which the [**] object code for the Customized Materials and object code for the Standard Materials is delivered (the “Subscriber Base Date”), starting from the first anniversary after the Subscriber Base Date, of [**] Cents ($[**]) times the [**]. The Subsequent Subscriber License Fee will be evaluated yearly based on the “high water xxxx” under which the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee has been previously calculated. For clarification, in the event that there is a decrease or no change in the number of year-over-year Subscribers, the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee will not apply until the number of Subscribers exceeds the last number upon which the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee was last paid. An example of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee calculation is set forth as Annex 3 (the “Fee Calculations”) to Exhibit C (“Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions”). Payment of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3.9 (Payments).
(d) Post-Termination Maintenance of Generic Product
(i) In the event that Sprint exercises its Expanded License Option, Sprint may, with [**] days’ notice to Amdocs, at Sprint’s sole option and discretion, enter into a Maintenance Order with Amdocs providing for ongoing maintenance and support services (“Post-Termination Maintenance”), substantially in the form attached as Annex 1 (the “Maintenance Order”) to Exhibit C (“Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions”) attached hereto. If the Expanded License Option is exercised and Sprint and Amdocs enter into a Maintenance Order, Amdocs will provide Post-Termination Maintenance for the Generic Product at the fees set forth in Annex 1 (the “Maintenance Order”) to Exhibit C (“Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions”), on reasonable terms and conditions, which terms and conditions shall be negotiated between the Parties in good faith and be no less favorable to Sprint for Preferred level maintenance as those set forth in Annex 2 (“Amdocs Product Support Overview”) to Exhibit C (“Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions”), as the Amdocs Product Support Overview is amended by Amdocs from time to time. An example of the maintenance fees calculation is set forth as Annex 3 (the “Fee Calculations”) to Exhibit C (“Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions”).
(ii) Sprint acknowledges that as between Amdocs and Sprint, Amdocs owns all right, title and interest in and to any documentation, training materials, designs, discoveries, inventions, know-how, techniques, fixes, patches, workarounds, upgrades, service packs, customizations, modifications, enhancements or derivative works of the Generic Product

that may be provided by Amdocs as part of Post-Termination Maintenance (collectively, the “Post-Termination Maintenance Work Product”). The Post-Termination Maintenance Work Product will be deemed to be part of the Standard Materials licensed to Sprint under the terms of Section 6.5.5(c)(i)(2) hereof, and Sprint is granted no title or ownership rights in any Maintenance Work Product, in whole or in part. Without limiting any prohibition provided herein, Sprint hereby assigns to Amdocs all right, title and interest in and to any and all derivative works of the Post-Termination Work Product or any other materials provided by Amdocs in connection with the performance of Post-Termination Maintenance hereunder.
(iii) In the event that the Parties enter into the Post-Termination Maintenance Order, the terms of this Agreement will continue to survive and apply to the relationship of the Parties under the Post-Termination Maintenance Order to the extent applicable; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Post-Termination Terms and Conditions or the Maintenance Order and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions and Maintenance Order will take precedence.
(e) Confidentiality of Amdocs Material
For the avoidance of doubt, Sprint agrees that, to the extent it is permitted by this Section 6.5.5 (Data Center Assets, Hosting Services, License and Maintenance Purchase Options) to provide Amdocs Confidential Materials to any Third Parties, it will first obtain such Third Party’s agreement to confidentiality terms no less protective than the terms provided by this Agreement.
6.5.6 Charges for Disentanglement Services
For all Disentanglement Services provided to Sprint (not including the purchase options in Section 6.5.5 (Purchasing Options Upon Disentanglement)), Amdocs will charge Sprint and Sprint will pay Amdocs during the Initial Disentanglement Period and Additional Disentanglement Periods, as applicable, the greater of (i) the Monthly Subscriber Fee as provided in Schedule D (Charges) or (ii) [**] Dollars ($[**]). Sprint will be permitted to hold back [**] percent ([**]%) of the Monthly Subscriber Fee amounts invoiced by Amdocs during the applicable Disentanglement Period until Sprint issues the Disentanglement Notice; provided that any such held back amounts will be deposited in a Third Party escrow account and released upon issuance of the Disentanglement Notice.
6.5.7 Disentanglement Process with regard to Additional Services
The provisions of Section 6.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)) (including its Subsections) will apply, mutatis mutandis, with regard to the termination of the Additional Services.

(ii) In addition, the full Escrow Deposit (including the source code of the Generic Product) will be released to Sprint in the event that: (a) Amdocs is adjudicated insolvent, or consents to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator; (b) Amdocs’ board of directors or a majority of its shareholders take any action authorizing the dissolution or liquidation of Amdocs; (c) Amdocs voluntarily or involuntarily becomes a debtor subject to proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code, which proceedings will likely cause Amdocs to be adjudicated insolvent and provided such proceedings are not dismissed within [**] days after their commencement; or (d) Amdocs fails to continue to do business as a going concern.
(c) License to Deposit Materials
The scope of license and use of the Escrow Deposit by Sprint and its Affiliates will be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) Terms and conditions
Any such escrow will be documented in an escrow agreement fully incorporating the terms of this Section 8.1.3 (Escrow) and including such other terms and conditions required by Amdocs or the Escrow Agent as are reasonably satisfactory to Sprint.
8.1.4 In-Sourcing
In the event of the occurrence of any event that would give rise to the release of the Escrow Deposit as described in Section 8.1.3 (Escrow), Sprint may elect to perform a portion of the Services for itself (which may include use of the Customized Materials and Amdocs Standard Materials in accordance with the licenses granted to Sprint under this Agreement in Sprint’s or (in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement) Sprint’s designee’s data center). If Sprint so elects, (a) the Parties will meet to discuss and agree upon a written amendment to this Agreement reflecting the changes to the Services resulting

In addition to the foregoing, Amdocs will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain advance written consents from Amdocs’ licensors and lessors, to the extent possible, to the conveyance or assignment of all licenses and leases related to the Services to Sprint upon Disentanglement. If such advance consents cannot be obtained, Amdocs will promptly notify Sprint’s Key Non-Executive Personnel, and Sprint will have the option to enter into the applicable license or lease in its own name. Amdocs further agrees that any licenses granted or obtained, or to be granted or obtained, by Amdocs under this Section 8 (Intellectual Property Rights) and subject to its provisions, will extend to any assignee of substantially all of the assets or business of Sprint.

9.1 Indemnity by Amdocs and Sprint
9.1.1 Indemnity by Amdocs
Amdocs will defend, indemnify and hold Sprint, its Affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (“Sprint Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, (collectively “Costs”) arising out of any claim by any Third Party against a Sprint Indemnitee for actual or alleged infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, or similar property right including misappropriation of trade secrets, (x) based upon the Amdocs Standard Materials, the Documentation, the Customized Materials, or any Third Party technology used by Amdocs in providing the Services (collectively, the “Services Technology”) or (y) to the extent that it is an Amdocs Generated Claim. Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, Amdocs will indemnify the Sprint Indemnitees to the extent an infringement or claim of infringement could have been avoided by moving to a new release or version of the Services Technology and Amdocs was offered the new release or version and did not move to same. Amdocs may, in its reasonable discretion, either procure a license to enable Sprint to continue to use, or receive the benefit of, such Services Technology or develop or obtain a non-infringing substitute reasonably acceptable to Sprint. Amdocs will have no obligation to indemnify Sprint for any such claim or action to the extent that it is based upon: (i) modification of a program or machine by Sprint, any Third Party contractor to Sprint, or any agent of Sprint unless such modification (whether made by Sprint or any such contractor or agent) has been approved in advance by Amdocs; (ii) Sprint’s combination, operation or use with apparatus, data or programs neither furnished nor approved by Amdocs; (iii) the use by Sprint of any software provided to Sprint by any Third Party other than in accordance with relevant software licenses whether or not such license agreements are provided to Amdocs; (iv) the use, in accordance with the applicable license agreement, of software owned by or licensed to Sprint by a party other than Amdocs and supplied by Sprint to Amdocs; or (v) any exact procedure, style, or graphic that Sprint requires Amdocs to follow or use in developing the Customized Product (such requirements, the “Sprint Requirements”) (the occurrences set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above, the “Sprint Generated Claims”). For the avoidance of doubt, the exception from Amdocs’ indemnification obligation described in clause (v) will not apply, and such occurrence will not constitute a Sprint Generated Claim, with respect to claims or actions (i) based upon the manner or methodology selected by Amdocs to execute the Sprint Requirements or (ii) for which Amdocs has not provided Sprint with written notice documenting the exact procedure, style or graphic that Amdocs is alleging meets the requirements of clause (v) and is the basis for Amdocs’ claim that its indemnification obligations under this clause (a) do not extend to a particular action or claim for which a Sprint Indemnitee is seeking indemnification under this Section 9.1.1 (Indemnity by Amdocs).
9.1.2 Indemnity by Sprint
Sprint will defend, indemnify, and hold Amdocs, its Affiliate, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (“Amdocs Indemnitees”), harmless from and against any and all Costs arising out of, any claim by any Third Party against any of them for actual or alleged infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, or similar property right including misappropriation of trade secrets: (x) based upon software that is proprietary or non-proprietary to Sprint that Sprint requires Amdocs to use in
SPRINT/UNITED MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND AMDOCS CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT |
- 54 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
performing the Services (“Sprint Software”) (if any) or any Sprint Requirements; or (y) to the extent that it is a Sprint Generated Claim. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, Sprint will indemnify the Amdocs Indemnitees to the extent an infringement or claim of infringement could have been avoided by moving to a new release or version of the infringing Sprint Software and Sprint was offered the new release or version and did not move to same. Sprint may, in its reasonable discretion, either procure a license to enable Amdocs to continue to use any such infringing Sprint Software or any Sprint Requirements or develop or obtain a non-infringing substitute or modify Sprint’s requirements so as to no longer require Amdocs to use the Sprint Software or any Sprint Requirements in performing the Services. Sprint will have no obligation to indemnify Amdocs for any such claim or action to the extent that it is based upon: (i) modification of a program or machine by Amdocs, any Third Party contractor to Amdocs, or any agent of Amdocs (other than pursuant to the Sprint Requirements, but including the manner or methodology selected by Amdocs to execute the Sprint Requirements); (ii) Amdocs’ combination, operation, or use with apparatus, data, or programs not furnished by Sprint; (iii) the use by Amdocs of any software provided by any Third Party other than in accordance with relevant software licenses whether or not such licenses are provided to Sprint; or (iv) the use, in accordance with the applicable license agreement, of software owned by or licensed to Amdocs by a party other than Sprint and supplied by Amdocs to Sprint (the occurrences set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, the “Amdocs Generated Claims”).
9.2 Tax Indemnity by Amdocs
Amdocs will defend, indemnify, and hold the Sprint Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Costs, including any assessment for tax, interest or penalty, arising out of any claim by any federal, state, or local taxing authority relating to federal, state, or local sales or transaction taxes that Sprint has failed, or allegedly failed, to collect, if such failure or alleged failure is due to a mistake in billing caused by Amdocs in the course of its performance hereunder; provided, however, that in no event will Amdocs be required to indemnify Sprint if such failure or alleged failure is due to errors inherent in the coding of the [**] software program or an error by Sprint and not due to an act or failure to act of Amdocs. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the indemnity described in this Section 9.2 (Tax Indemnity by Amdocs) is being provided on the basis of Amdocs’ use of the [**] software program in performing the Services. If Amdocs, upon the mutual agreement of the Parties, at any time during the Term uses a different tax-related software program, in lieu of [**], Amdocs will provide an equivalent tax indemnity to that contained herein with respect to mistakes in billing.
9.3 Third Party Matters
9.3.1 Injury or Property Damages

Except to the extent specifically stated in this Agreement, no remedy set forth in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each remedy will be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise, provided that a Party’s recovery of damages pursuant to such remedies will be subject to this Agreement, including any limitations on liability and exclusions on recoverable damages and remedies stated in this Agreement.

Agreement or any other remedies. For the avoidance of doubt, the attorney’s fees and costs are considered to be within the monetary limitations of liability specified in Section 10.1 (Limitation of Liability and Disclaimers) above.
10.3 Breach
The Parties acknowledge that the failure of a Default to constitute a basis for termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.3 (Termination for Cause) will not preclude the aggrieved Party from seeking other remedies available to it under law or in equity for such Default, none of which is exclusive and any or all of which may be pursued, except as otherwise provided herein; provided that a Party’s recovery of damages pursuant to such remedies will be subject to this Agreement, including any limitations on liability and exclusions on recoverable damages and remedies stated in this Agreement.
10.4 Delay
In the event of any Delay, Amdocs will, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Delay, notify Sprint in writing. The notice will include specific details of the Delay, including without limitation, the estimated impact on the applicable timetable under the Agreement and the estimated amount, if any, of additional Services required. If Sprint disputes any of the matters set forth in Amdocs’ notice, the matter will be resolved through the Dispute Resolution Process.

For avoidance of doubt, if Sprint disputes that such efforts and expenses were incurred by Amdocs as a result of a Delay or the amounts set forth in such written notices, Sprint will pay to Amdocs the undisputed portion of such amounts. Sprint’s failure to give Acceptance of a Deliverable under this Agreement will not constitute a Delay if and to the extent that such Deliverable did not meet the requirements of this Agreement.

1.2. | Measurement Structure |
Each CPS shall be measured using a “Blue-Green-Yellow-Red” traffic light mechanism (the “Individual CPS BGYR State”), with “Blue” representing the highest level of performance and “Red” representing the lowest level of performance. Depending on the specific Individual CPS BGYR State, [**]. Also, on a monthly basis, an overall CPS score (the “Overall CPS Score”) will be determined by assigning points to each CPS based on its Individual CPS BGYR State and its Criticality Level (with a higher Overall CPS Score indicative of a lower level of performance by Amdocs). The matrix set forth below describes the methodology for computing the Overall CPS Score.

The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling and is not to be considered as additive to the [**]. The [**] is a mechanism designed to limit the amount of [**] that can be netted against subsequent [**] due to Sprint by Amdocs during the calendar year, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (Column C) which is limited to the [**] will be [**], as defined in Section 1.5 of this Schedule C1-Ret. All [**] amounts earned, including the $[**] that fall within the [**] will be taken into account to determine if the [**] has been reached, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (column C of example) does not carry over into the coming calendar year and is not eligible to be used for offset of [**] in the subsequent calendar year.
[**] Example: The following table includes an example that illustrates application of the [**]. The example used here assumes that Amdocs achieves [**]; after [**] of [**], Amdocs again achieves [**] from [**], (column B). Amdocs reaches the annual maximum $[**] during the month of [**].
The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling. In the example, that maximum is reached in the months of [**] (as shown in column C). The [**] (column C) is adjusted downward in months during which the [**] amount (column B) is negative as a result of a [**] associated with a [**] of Amdocs’ service performance during the months of [**]. The amount payable to either Amdocs or Sprint is reflected in column D as prescribed in this section 1.4.4.

1.5. | Monthly CPS Report |
On a monthly basis, Amdocs shall provide a written report to Sprint which includes the following information (the “Monthly CPS Report”): (i) Amdocs’ quantitative performance for each CPS & KPI; (ii) each Individual CPS & KPI BGYR State and the Overall CPS & KPI Score; (iii) any monthly [**] for each CPS; (iv) the year-to-date [**] for each CPS and all the CPS; (v) a [**] and corrective action plan with respect to any CPS & KPI where the Individual CPS & KPI BGYR State was not “Blue” or “Green” during the preceding month; and (vi) trend or statistical analysis with respect to each CPS & KPI as requested by Sprint. The Preliminary Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] day of the following month and the Final Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] day of the following month. The Monthly CPS Report, delivered on the [**] day of the following month, will include each CPS/KPI being tracked by Amdocs.

1.6. | Creditable Performance Specification Review and Change Process |
CPSs are subject to review on the following occasions throughout the Term:
• | [**] Review: Amdocs and Sprint shall set a mutually agreed date to conduct [**] reviews of the CPS and Amdocs’ performance with respect to the CPS. At a minimum, the [**] review will include: |
• | [**] review of the [**]; |
• | [**], if any, based upon mutual written agreement. Amdocs will make the required system updates in order that any revised CPS will become effective January first of the following year. Schedule C1-Ret [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time); Amdocs will tune its system to accommodate any agreed CPS change each [**]. The new CPS’ will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
• | Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to Schedule C1-Ret on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
Exclusion/inclusion process: Within the measurement period any change to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team in a manner that allows for timely delivery of reports and the availability of applicable research data. The exclusion is then documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, exclusion resolution, approver’s name and approval date. Inclusions are tracked via the ticketing process. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” or the inclusion ticket and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed. If the approved exclusion or inclusion results in a change to the Performance Credit or Bonus then parties will mutually agree to republish or restate the monthly CPS reports.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective.

2.1. | Measurement Structure |
Each CPS shall be measured using a “Blue-Green-Yellow-Red” traffic light mechanism (the “Individual CPS BGYR State”), with “Blue” representing the highest level of performance and “Red” representing the lowest level of performance. Depending on the specific Individual CPS BGYR State, [**]. Also, on a monthly basis, an overall CPS score (the “Overall CPS Score”) will be determined by assigning points to each CPS based on its Individual CPS BGYR State and its Criticality Level (with a higher Overall CPS Score indicative of a lower level of performance by Amdocs). The matrix set forth below describes the methodology for computing the Overall CPS Score:

On a monthly basis, Amdocs shall provide a written report to Sprint which includes the following information (the “Monthly CPS Report”): (i) Amdocs’ quantitative performance for each CPS & KPI; (ii) each Individual CPS/KPI BGYR State and the Overall CPS & KPI Score; (iii) any monthly [**] for each CPS; (iv) the year-to-date [**] for each CPS and all the CPS; (v) a [**] and corrective action plan with respect to any CPS & KPI where the Individual CPS/KPI BGYR State was not “Blue” or “Green” during the preceding month; and (vi) trend or statistical analysis with respect to each CPS/KPI as requested by Sprint. The Preliminary Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] of the following month and the Final Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] of the following month. The Monthly CPS Report, delivered on the [**] of the following month, will include each KPI being tracked by Amdocs.

6. | Creditable Performance Specification Review and Change Process |
CPSs are subject to review on the following occasions throughout the Term:
• | [**] Review: Amdocs and Sprint shall set a mutually agreed date to conduct [**] reviews of the CPS and Amdocs’ performance with respect to the CPS. At a minimum, the [**] review will include: |
• | [**] review of the [**]; |
• | [**], if any, based upon mutual written agreement. Amdocs will make the required system updates in order that any revised CPS will become effective January first of the following year. Schedule C1-Whl [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time); Amdocs will tune its system to accommodate any agreed CPS change each [**]. The new CPS’ will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
• | Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to Schedule C1-Whl on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
Any item to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team. The item is then documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, inclusion/exclusion resolution, approver’s name and approval date. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective.

Depending on the specific Individual CPS BGYR State, [**]. Also, on a monthly basis, an overall CPS score (the “Overall CPS Score”) will be determined by assigning points to each CPS based on its Individual CPS BGYR State and its Criticality Level (with a higher Overall CPS Score indicative of a lower level of performance by Amdocs). The matrix set forth below describes the methodology for computing the Overall CPS Score.

1.4.5.1. | Quarterly Bonus Cap: |
The total sum of bonus for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale platforms during any calendar quarter will be capped at $[**] (the “Quarterly Bonus Cap”).
If the sum of bonus for the Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale platforms exceeds $[**] during any quarter, the total quarterly bonus will be adjusted downwards to the Quarterly Bonus Cap.
Each quarter will be evaluated independently and the quarterly bonuses, after applying the Quarterly Bonus Cap, will be added to calculate the maximum annual bonus (the “Total Adjusted Quarterly Accrual”). In the event that the Total Adjusted Quarterly Accrual:
a. | is higher than the sum of Maximum Annual Net Amount Due Amdocs for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale, [**] |
b. | is equal to or lower than the sum of Maximum Annual Net Amount Due Amdocs for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale, [**] |

There will be [**] Quarterly Bonus Cap for [**]
The total annual bonus payout for a given platform will be equal to the Total Adjusted Quarterly Accruals for each respective platform up to a limit of $[**] for Postpaid, $[**] for Prepaid and $[**] for Wholesale, “Annual Bonus Cap”, as a total.

1.4.5.2. | [**]: |
The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling for both Postpaid and Prepaid platforms is not to be considered as additive to the [**]. The [**] is a mechanism designed to limit the amount of [**] that can be netted against subsequent [**] due to Sprint by Amdocs during the calendar year, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (Column C) which is limited to the [**] will be reported on the monthly CPS Report, as defined in Section 1.5 of this Schedule. All [**] amounts earned, including the $[**] for Postpaid and $[**] for Prepaid that fall within the [**] will be taken into account to determine if the [**] has been reached, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (column C of example) does not carry over into the coming calendar year and is not eligible to be used for offset of [**] in the subsequent calendar year.
[**] Example: The following table includes an example that illustrates application of the [**]. The example used here assumes that Amdocs achieves [**]; after [**] of [**], Amdocs again achieves [**] from [**], (column B). Amdocs reaches the annual maximum $[**] for Postpaid and $[**] for Prepaid during the month of [**].
The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling for both Postpaid and Prepaid. In the example, that maximum is reached in the months of [**] (as shown in column C). The [**] (column C) is adjusted downward in months during which the [**] amount (column B) is negative as a result of a [**] associated with a [**] of Amdocs’ service performance during the months of [**]. The amount payable to either Amdocs or Sprint is reflected in column E as prescribed in this section 1.4.5.2.

Schedule C2-Pre [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time); Amdocs will tune its system to accommodate any agreed CPS change each [**]. The new CPS’ will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
• | Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to Schedule C2-Pre on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
Exclusion/inclusion process: Within the measurement period any change to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team in a manner that allows for timely delivery of reports and the availability of applicable research data. The exclusion is then documented in the “SLA Exclusion

List” spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, exclusion resolution, approver’s name and approval date. Inclusions are tracked via the ticketing process. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” or the inclusion ticket and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed. If the approved exclusion or inclusion results in a change to the Performance Credit or Bonus then parties will mutually agree to republish or restate the monthly CPS reports.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective.

1.4.5.2. | [**]: |
The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling for both Postpaid and Prepaid platforms and is not to be considered as additive to the [**]. The [**] is a mechanism designed to limit the amount of [**] that can be netted against subsequent [**] due to Sprint by Amdocs during the calendar year, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (Column C) which is limited to the [**] will be reported on the monthly CPS Report, as defined in Section 1.5 of this Schedule. All [**] amounts earned, including the $[**] for Postpaid and $[**] for Prepaid that fall within the [**] will be taken into account to determine if the [**] has been reached, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (column C of example) does not carry over into the coming calendar year and is not eligible to be used for offset of [**] in the subsequent calendar year.
[**] Example: The following table includes an example that illustrates application of the [**]. The example used here assumes that Amdocs achieves [**]; after [**] of [**], Amdocs again achieves [**] from [**] (column B). Amdocs reaches the annual maximum $[**] for Postpaid and $[**] for Prepaid during the month of [**].
The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling for both Postpaid and Prepaid. In the example, that maximum is reached in the months of [**] (as shown in column C). The [**] (column C) is adjusted downward in months during which the [**] amount (column B) is negative as a result of a [**] associated with a [**] of Amdocs’ service performance during the months of [**]. The amount payable to either Amdocs or Sprint is reflected in column E as prescribed in this section 1.4.5.

1.5. | Monthly CPS Report |
On a monthly basis, Amdocs shall provide a written report to Sprint which includes the following information (the “Monthly CPS Report”): (i) Amdocs’ quantitative performance for each CPS & KPI; (ii) each Individual CPS & KPI BGYR State and the Overall CPS & KPI Score;
8 | SLA Management |
(iii) any monthly [**] for each CPS; (iv) the year-to-date [**] for each CPS and all the CPS; (v) a [**] and corrective action plan with respect to any CPS & KPI where the Individual CPS & KPI BGYR State was not “Blue” or “Green” during the preceding month; and (vi) trend or statistical analysis with respect to each CPS & KPI as requested by Sprint. The Preliminary Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] of the following month and the Final Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] of the following month. The Monthly CPS Report, delivered on the [**] of the following month, will include each CPS/KPI being tracked by Amdocs.
Amdocs will continue to provide a service level data feed to Sprint for the Service Scope system. New solutions will be reviewed and collaborated as the web reporting definition evolves.
1.6. | Creditable Performance Specification Review and Change Process |
CPSs are subject to review on the following occasions throughout the Term:
• | [**] Review: Amdocs and Sprint shall set a mutually agreed date to conduct [**] reviews of the CPS and Amdocs’ performance with respect to the CPS. At a minimum, the [**] review will include: |
• | [**] review of the [**]; |
• | [**], if any, based upon mutual written agreement. Amdocs will make the required system updates in order that any revised CPS will become effective January first of the following year. Schedule C2-Post [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time); Amdocs will tune its system to accommodate any agreed CPS change each [**]. The new CPS’ will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
• | Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to Schedule C2-Post on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
Exclusion/inclusion process: Within the measurement period any change to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team in a manner that allows for timely delivery of reports and the availability of applicable research data. The exclusion is then documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, exclusion resolution, approver’s name and approval date. Inclusions are tracked via the ticketing process. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” or the inclusion ticket and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed. If the approved exclusion or inclusion results in a change to the Performance Credit or Bonus then parties will mutually agree to republish or restate the monthly CPS reports.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective.

1) | If during the measurement period [**]% of transactions completed within [**] (Blue) and [**]% completed within [**] (Blue) the overall score would be Blue. |
2) | If [**]% of transactions completed within [**] (Green) and [**]% completed within [**] (Green), but [**]% completed within [**] (Yellow). The overall score would be Yellow. |
For the avoidance of doubt, in order to score Blue, a minimum of [**]% of transactions must complete within [**] and [**]% within [**]. To score Green, a minimum of [**]% must complete within [**]% within [**], and [**]% within [**]. To score Yellow, a minimum of [**]% of transactions must complete within [**]% within [**], and [**]% within [**]. If [**]% or more of the transactions exceed [**], then the score will be Red.

2.1. | Measurement Structure |
Each CPS shall be measured using a “Blue-Green-Yellow-Red” traffic light mechanism (the “Individual CPS BGYR State”), with “Blue” representing the highest level of performance and “Red” representing the lowest level of performance. Depending on the specific Individual CPS BGYR State, [**]. Also, on a monthly basis, an overall CPS score (the “Overall CPS Score”) will be determined by assigning points to each CPS based on its Individual CPS BGYR State and its Criticality Level (with a higher Overall CPS Score indicative of a lower level of performance by Amdocs). The matrix set forth below describes the methodology for computing the Overall CPS Score:

The total sum of bonus for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale platforms during any calendar quarter will be capped at $[**] (the “Quarterly Bonus Cap”).
If the sum of bonus for the Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale platforms exceeds $[**] during any quarter, the total quarterly bonus will be adjusted downwards to the Quarterly Bonus Cap.
Each quarter will be evaluated independently and the quarterly bonuses, after applying the Quarterly Bonus Cap, will be added to calculate the maximum annual bonus (the “Total Adjusted Quarterly Accrual”). In the event that the Total Adjusted Quarterly Accrual:
a. | is higher than the sum of Maximum Annual Net Amount Due Amdocs for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale, [**] |
b. | is equal to or lower than the sum of Maximum Annual Net Amount Due Amdocs for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale, [**] |
4.5.1. | Sample Calculation |
For avoidance of doubt and as an example, if the sum of bonus for the Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale platforms is less than or equal to $[**] during any quarter, then [**]. There will be [**] Quarterly Bonus Cap for [**]. The total annual bonus payout for a given platform will be equal to the Total Adjusted Quarterly Accruals for each respective platform up to a limit of $[**] for Postpaid, $[**] for Prepaid and $[**] for Wholesale, “Annual Bonus Cap”, as a total.
The annual accrued bonus ceiling ([**]) mechanism will remain per section 1.4.5.2 in this Schedule C2-Post.

The new CPS’ will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
• | Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to this Schedule C2-Whl on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
(Not Applicable) Any item to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team. The item is then documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, inclusion/exclusion resolution, approver’s name and approval date. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the “SLA Exclusion List” and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective

(viii) | For the avoidance of doubt, the various subscriber types are defined as: |
(1) | A “Subscriber” has the meaning given in Section 12.1 (Defined Terms) of the Agreement. |
(2) | A “Retail Subscriber” means a Subscriber who is not a [**] or such other categories that the Parties may mutually establish. |
(3) | A “Wholesale Subscriber” means a Subscriber which has its billing account with a [**] of Sprint (i.e., the end-user customer referred to in 6.E(viii)(4) below). |
(4) | A “Wholesale Customer” means a [**] of Sprint’s [**] for such [**] (whether under the Sprint brand or otherwise); that is, in the case of Wholesale Customer, the relationship with the end-user customer is owned by the Wholesale Customer and not by Sprint. |
(5) | A ‘Prepaid Subscriber” means a Subscriber for which usage is [**] on such Subscriber [**] for such [**] of consumption and continued usage is dependent upon maintaining a positive account balance. |
In determining the fractional value of Prepaid Subscribers to offset Retail Shortfall, depending upon the status of such Prepaid Subscribers, the following table will apply:

[**] of a Prepaid Subscriber | |
[**] | [**] | |
[**] | [**] | |
[**] | [**] | |
[**] | [**] | |
[**] | [**] |
Annex E contains the definitions of each of the Prepaid Subscriber statuses described in the table above.
(ix) | Calculation of the MSF. |
(1) | Amdocs will calculate the number of Subscribers through the following mechanism. For each xxxx cycle used for Subscribers, Amdocs will determine the number of Subscribers that have been processed during that xxxx cycle. Once the final xxxx cycle of a [**] been run, Amdocs will calculate the total number of Subscribers for that [**], which is the aggregate of each xxxx cycle Subscriber count for that [**]. These Subscriber values will be calculated independently for [**]. |
(2) | Amdocs will invoice Sprint in the MSF for cancelled Subscribers up to but not [**] from the date of cancellation. If, after the [**] day, there is new billing activity (e.g. [**], payments) for the Subscriber, Amdocs will invoice Sprint for the MSF for the [**] in which the new billing activity occurs. Annex C to this Schedule D1 provides an example of the application of the above provision. |
For each cancelled Subscriber, Amdocs will set the field “STATUS-CODE” in the “XXXX-SUBSCRIBER” table of the Customized Product to a value of “C”.
(3) | As the Customized Product invoices cancelled Subscribers for up to [**] beyond their cancellation date, and in order to comply with the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, Sprint and Amdocs will modify the following Customized Product reference tables to be capped in the aggregate at [**]: |
Page 8
[**]
(4) | In addition, in order to comply with the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the [**] in the Customized Product logic for the accommodation of late charges and adjustments will be [**], but only for the purpose of the above compliance. In the event that Subscribers are moved to an alternative xxxx cycle as a result of load balancing, Amdocs will invoice Sprint for those Subscribers [**]. In the event that a Subscriber is shifted to a different cycle, Sprint must approve any cycle shifting prior to Amdocs completing the shift. Amdocs and Sprint will collectively reconcile any such shifts to ensure Sprint is not charged for these Subscribers multiple times. |
(5) | [**] after cancellation for a given cancelled Subscriber, the BAN containing that Subscriber has no active Subscribers but still has an outstanding balance due or a [**], and that balance or [**] is not in a “Written-Off” status in the Customized Product, then for the purpose of such invoicing, Amdocs will consider this BAN as having a single Subscriber until such time as the balance or [**] is ‘Written-Off”, or the balance becomes [**] as a result of a payment being applied or a [**] balance being refunded. [**]. |
7. | Amdocs Rate for Additional Services. For any development Additional Services requested by Sprint under the Agreement, the labor rate will be as follows (not inclusive of CPI adjustments) (the “Rate”): |

For the avoidance of doubt, the above Rates will apply as of the Effective Date.
The Amdocs Rates set forth in Table 7 above will not be applied with respect to [**], unless agreed otherwise by Amdocs.
The above Amdocs Rates for 2013 may be adjusted no more frequently than [**], commencing [**] by the rate of [**] as applicable in the definition of Amdocs Rate in the Agreement.
As long as Section 2.19 of Schedule K1 is in effect, Scoping Services rendered pursuant to the provisions of that Section 2.19, Schedule K1 will not be subject to the Amdocs Rates in Table 7 above and will not be counted towards the tiers in Table 7. In this Section 7, “Scoping Services” means Services described in Section 2.19 of Schedule K1, as follows: (1) Define Phase Services; and (ii) Discover Phase Services; and (iii) the Design Phase Services through delivery, walkthrough(s) and acceptance by Sprint to the extent applicable to the provision of the Impact Assessment Document, HLE, Initial DFS, and the associated deliverables as outlined in Section 2.19 of Schedule K1.
Additionally, the labor price associated with any consulting or development Services, provided by Amdocs, that are not directly applicable to the further customization and Services in support of Amdocs’ customer care and billing platform (e.g., [**]), will be based on either the existing labor rates under the applicable separate agreement between the Parties, or rates specifically negotiated on an engagement by engagement basis.
7.A | It is further agreed that if Section 2.19 of Schedule K1expires or terminates for any reason prior to [**], the 2013 Amdocs Rates detailed in Table 7 above will be adjusted to $[**]. Amdocs Rates and Off-Shore Plan. |

(i) | “On-Site” will be defined as any domestic Sprint location designated as such by Sprint, “Class A Location” will be defined as any location within the [**], and “Class B Location” will be defined as [**]. |
(ii) | Whenever Amdocs relocates any Services, or changes the proportionate volume of Services among locations: |
(1) | If the change is “[**]”, Amdocs may implement the change without notice to or consent of Sprint. |
(2) | If the change is “[**]”, Amdocs will give prior written notification to Sprint and Sprint will have the opportunity to object, but Amdocs implementation of the change need not be delayed to obtain Sprint’s approval. |
(3) | If the change is “[**]”, Amdocs will give prior written notification to Sprint and may not implement the change until Sprint’s written approval is obtained, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. |
(iii) | The following conditions will apply when determining whether to classify a Committed Operation Services change or relocation as [**]. |
(1) | Any and all movement of hardware, regardless of location and volume will be considered as [**]. |
(2) | Any and all activity involving Sprint Restricted Data will be considered as [**]. |
(3) | Any and all relocation of employee management responsibilities will be considered as [**]. |
(4) | The opening of any new data, or service facility that will support the Sprint business will be considered as [**] |
(5) | Any movement [**]% of the total labor force associated with a particular service in a particular location will be considered as [**]. |
Page 11
(6) | Any movement [**]% [**]% of the total labor force associated with a particular service in a particular location will be considered as [**]. |
(7) | Any movement of [**]% of the total labor force associated with a particular service in a particular location will be considered as [**]. |
(iv) | Amdocs will provide a [**] plan to Sprint, detailing the number of resources within each function that it intends to [**], as well as the timing associated with such movement. If, at any point within a [**], Amdocs intends to [**]resources in a manner that deviates from the [**] plan, Amdocs will notify Sprint of such changes and seek Sprint’s approval as required in Section 7.A. |
(v) | Amdocs commits that no Sprint customer-facing positions will be moved [**] at any point during the Term of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, [**], at no point will a [**] be required to [**]. |
(vi) | For clarity, the Parties agree that the conditions listed in Sections 7.A(ii) to 7.A(v) above do not apply to development Services and Scoping Services. For clarity, and notwithstanding the foregoing, any requirements listed in Sections 7.A(ii) to 7.A(v) related to Sprint Restricted Data still apply to development Services and Scoping Services. |
(vii) | For the development Services, Amdocs will provide a [**] plan to Sprint that will be updated on a [**] basis, detailing the [**]. It is agreed that [**]. If Amdocs makes a material change to the [**] plan, Amdocs will notify Sprint at least [**] days prior to such a change. |
(viii) | For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.A will limit or otherwise negate Amdocs’ obligation under the Agreement to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, which may include, without limitation, restrictions and/or prohibitions regarding the performance of the Services from locations outside of the United States. In the event that (i) a change in an applicable law, rule or regulation requires Amdocs to perform certain or all of the Services from locations solely in the United |

States and (ii) such requirement would cause Amdocs to have to cease performing Services from locations outside of the United States where Amdocs had previously complied with all requirements of the Agreement with respect to being permitted to perform such Services from locations outside of the United States, then the Parties agree to meet in good faith to discuss what impact, if any, such requirement may have with respect to the charges set forth in this Schedule D1 and determine by mutual agreement what, if any, action should be taken with respect thereto. |
7.B | Additional Services Fee. Sprint will pay Amdocs for the Additional Services the Additional Services Fee as provided for in the Additional Services Orders, which will be calculated based upon the Amdocs Rates for Additional Services defined above. |
7.C | Additional Development Commitments. Sprint agrees to engage Amdocs to perform Additional Services (in addition to the other Services otherwise provided for herein) in an amount of $[**] in calendar year [**] (“Additional Development Commitment”). For calendar year [**], the minimum commitment volume for development hours is [**] hours. If Sprint does not utilize the full volume of hours, up to [**]% [**] of the committed hours will be allowed to carry forward and be fulfilled in calendar year [**]. At the end of calendar year [**] Sprint will pay for any unfulfilled hours carried from previous calendar year. Amdocs will provide a [**] hour reduction to the [**] hour commitment if applications associated with one or more of the Services in the MSF are terminated. This will be a [**] and will be effective in the year following the application sunset through the end of the Term. |
8. | Envelope Parameters. To the extent that Schedule L1 (Envelope Parameters) to the Agreement contemplates any additional fees to be payable by Sprint to Amdocs in the event that an envelope parameter stated therein is exceeded, then [**]. |

Page 13
10. | Reimbursable Expenses. Sprint will reimburse Amdocs for all travel and living expenses of its personnel participating in the performance of this Agreement in accordance with Annex A to this Schedule D1. |
11. | Production CR Charges. |
11.A | Sprint will pay Amdocs for the Production CRs Charges as provided for in the Production CRs . However, if no specific fixed price amount is agreed upon for a particular Production CR and specified in the applicable Production CRs, Amdocs will charge Sprint and Sprint will pay Amdocs for all of Amdocs’ efforts performing such Production CRs at the then current Amdocs Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 8 of this Schedule D1 will apply with regard to Amdocs’ development efforts of the Production CRs). |
11.B | In addition, in the event that an Impact Assessment Document is created by Amdocs for a particular Production CR pursuant to the Fast Track Procedure and Sprint then decides not to proceed with development of that Production CRs (either at all or a decision is made to include such development within an Additional Release), then Sprint will pay Amdocs for the efforts spent in producing the Impact Assessment Document up to the maximum amount (if any) of Additional Services hours stated as applicable at the then current Amdocs Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 8 of this Schedule D1 will apply with regard to such payment). If a decision is made to include such development within an Additional Release then, for avoidance of doubt, Amdocs will not be able to charge Sprint as part of that Additional Release for Services and Deliverables already charged for pursuant to the procedures set forth in this paragraph for Production CRs. For avoidance of doubt, the Additional Services Order for the Additional Release to which such development is moved may reflect any incremental development costs associated with such development as a result of including such development as part of the Additional Release. |

6.C.4 MSF Assumptions.
The following assumption applies to Table 6.C.1:
• | The pricing set forth in Table 6.C.1 above will be calculated based on a [**] mechanism in which the reduced pricing for each tier applies [**]. For example, if there are [**] million Active Subscribers in a given month, then the total MSF would be $[**]. |
6D. MSF [**] for Subscribers. Sprint will receive the following [**] against MSF charges accruing hereunder as described below:
(1) | Discretionary [**]. |
a) | Amdocs will grant Sprint a [**] of $[**], to be applied against the MSF charges under Schedule D1. The amount will be [**] to Sprint on [**]. |
b) | Annual Wholesale [**] of $[**] will be extended throughout the Term and will be applied on a [**] basis to the MSF invoice provided that the total number of Subscribers charged in accordance with Table 6.B.2-H does not fall below [**] Subscribers. |
Page 7
(2) | Tax Rating Service [**]. |
a) | Amdocs will [**] Sprint $[**] per month on the monthly Prepaid Subscriber invoice with respect to Sprint’s engagement of a Third Party Provider for tax rating services. Effective the first month that conversions begin for the VMU and Assurance Wireless brand Subscribers, Amdocs will increase the [**] amount to Sprint from $[**] per month to $[**] per month on the monthly Prepaid Subscriber invoice. |
b) | The [**] of $[**] will last until such time as Sprint’s Third Party Provider tax rating services are terminated. Sprint will provide a [**] day notice to Amdocs in advance of terminating such Services with the Third Party Provider. It will be Amdocs’ responsibility to either provide the tax rating service itself or securing services from a Third Party vendor. Amdocs will be responsible for the commercially reasonable transition costs otherwise the Parties will negotiate the transition costs in good faith. |
(3) | Prepaid [**] for Prepaid Subscribers. Once full [**] is completed, Sprint will be entitled to additional [**] in accordance with the following Prepaid Subscriber thresholds: |
a) | If the number of Prepaid Subscribers exceeds [**], Sprint will be entitled to receive up to [**] annual development hours [**] to Sprint for so long as Sprint [**] for [**] hours of development Services minimum commitment as outlined in section 7C below. |
b) | If the number of Prepaid Subscribers exceeds [**], Sprint will be entitled to receive up to [**] annual development hours [**] to Sprint for so long as Sprint [**] for [**] hours of development Services minimum commitment as outlined in section 7C below. |
c) | If the number of Prepaid Subscribers exceeds [**], Sprint will be entitled to receive up to [**] annual development hours [**] to Sprint so long as Sprint is [**] for [**] hours of development Services minimum commitment as outlined in section 7C below. |
Page 8
d) | [**] will be earned [**] and may be utilized at any time within [**] months following the [**] are earned. The [**] described in sections 6.D.3.a thru 6.D.3.c above will not be counted towards the [**] hours of development Services minimum commitment as outlined in section 7C below. |
e) | When the [**] are applied, the [**] will be referenced and then netted against fees in the applicable Work Authorization. |
f) | Subject to Section 6.D.3.d above, there are no restrictions as to when during the [**] these [**] can be utilized and no requirement that the [**] hour commitment be fulfilled prior to utilizing these development hours. |
(4) | [**] Usage Policies and Procedures. The following policies and procedures will apply to Sprint’s usage of the [**] set forth above and to the method in which Amdocs applies such [**] on invoices issued to Sprint: |
a) | Amdocs will automatically apply [**]. |
b) | Any unused, earned [**] upon expiration or termination of the Agreement will be paid to Sprint in cash or, at Sprint’s sole discretion, may be applied to fees associated with Disentanglement provided that Sprint has actually paid the applicable incurred charges pursuant to which Sprint earned such [**]. For avoidance of doubt, Amdocs will pay such [**] to Sprint in cash or, at Sprint’s sole discretion, apply such [**] to fees associated with Disentanglement once Sprint has actually paid such incurred charges (even if such payment occurs after expiration or termination of the Agreement). |
6E. [**].
Sprint commits to an [**]. In the event of a [**] that results in [**] to meet the [**] will meet [**] should be taken with respect thereto.
The following mechanism will be used for [**] on an [**] basis for [**] the Parties will calculate the actual percentage increase or decrease in the total number of Sprint [**] provided however that on [**] the Parties will calculate the Actual Percentage increase or decrease in the total number of Sprint [**] applicable to the [**] will be [**] provided however, that: i) the determination of whether Sprint has met the [**] will be determined with reference to the [**] during that [**], ii) the calculation of [**] will [**], and iii) the [**] will never be decreased below the [**].

Annex F contains the definitions of each of the Prepaid Subscriber statuses described in the table above.
(7) | Calculation of the MSF |
a) | Amdocs will calculate the number of Subscribers through the following mechanism. For each xxxx cycle used for Subscribers, Amdocs will determine the number of Subscribers that have been processed during that xxxx cycle. Once the final xxxx cycle of a [**] been run, Amdocs will calculate the total number of Subscribers that for that [**], which is the aggregate of each xxxx cycle Subscriber count for that [**]. These Subscriber values will be calculated independently for [**]. |
Page 12
b) | Amdocs will invoice Sprint in the MSF for cancelled Subscribers up to but not [**] from the date of cancellation. If, after the [**] day, there is new billing activity (e.g. [**], payments) for the Subscriber, Amdocs will invoice Sprint for the MSF for the [**] in which the new billing activity occurs. Annex D to this Schedule D2 provides an example of the application of the above provision. |
For each cancelled Subscriber, Amdocs will set the field “STATUS-CODE” in the “XXXX-SUBSCRIBER” table of the Customized Product to a value of “C”.
c) | As the Customized Product invoices cancelled Subscribers for up to [**] beyond their cancellation date, and in order to comply with the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, Sprint and Amdocs will modify the following Customized Product reference tables to be capped in the aggregate at [**] |
[**]
d) | In addition, in order to comply with the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the [**] in the Customized Product logic for the accommodation of late charges and adjustments will be [**], but only for the purpose of the above compliance. In the event that Subscribers are moved to an alternative xxxx cycle as a result of load balancing, Amdocs will invoice Sprint for those Subscribers [**]. In the event that a Subscriber is shifted to a different cycle, Sprint must approve any cycle shifting prior to Amdocs completing the shift. Amdocs and Sprint will collectively reconcile any such shifts to ensure Sprint is not charged for these Subscribers multiple times. |
e) | [**] after cancellation for a given cancelled Subscriber, the BAN containing that Subscriber has no active Subscribers but still has an outstanding balance due or a [**], and that balance or [**] is not in a “Written-Off” status in the Customized Product, then for the purpose of such invoicing, Amdocs will consider this BAN as having a single Subscriber until such time as the balance or [**] is ‘Written-Off”, or the balance becomes [**] as a result of a payment being applied or a [**] balance being refunded. [**]. |

(3) | The above Amdocs Rate may be adjusted no more frequently than [**], commencing [**] by the rate of [**] as applicable in the definition of Amdocs Rate in the Agreement. |
(4) | As long as Section 2.2 of Schedule K2 is in effect, Scoping Services rendered pursuant to the provisions of that Section 2.2 Schedule K2 will not be subject to the Amdocs Rate in Table 7 above and will not be counted towards the tiers in Table 7. In this Section 7, “Scoping Services” means Services described in Section 2.2 of Schedule K2 that references Scoping Services) as follows: (1) Define Phase Services; and (ii) Discover Phase Services; and (iii) the Design Phase Services through delivery, walkthrough(s) and acceptance by Sprint to the extent applicable to the provision of the Impact Assessment Document, HLE, Initial DFS, and the associated deliverables as outlined in Section 2.2 of Schedule K2. |
(5) | Additionally, the labor price associated with any consulting or development Services, provided by Amdocs, that are not directly applicable to the further customization and Services in support of Amdocs’ customer care and billing platform (e.g., [**]), will be based on either the existing labor rates under the applicable separate agreement between the Parties, or rates specifically negotiated on an engagement by engagement basis. |
Page 14
(6) | It is further agreed that if Section 2.2 of Schedule K2 expires or terminates for any reason, the 2014 Amdocs Rates detailed in Table 7 above will be adjusted to $[**] |

(2) | Whenever Amdocs relocates any Services, or changes the proportionate volume of Services among locations: |
a) | If the change is “[**]”, Amdocs may implement the change without notice to or consent of Sprint. |
b) | If the change is “[**]”, Amdocs will give prior written notification to Sprint and Sprint will have the opportunity to object, but Amdocs implementation of the change need not be delayed to obtain Sprint’s approval. |
c) | If the change is “[**]”, Amdocs will give prior written notification to Sprint and may not implement the change until Sprint’s written approval is obtained, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. |

(7) | For the development Services, Amdocs will provide a [**] plan to Sprint that will be updated on a [**] basis, detailing the [**]. It is agreed that [**]. If Amdocs makes a material change to the [**] plan, Amdocs will notify Sprint at least [**] days prior to such a change. |
(8) | For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7A will limit or otherwise negate Amdocs’ obligation under the Agreement to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, which may include, without limitation, restrictions and/or prohibitions regarding the performance of the Services from locations outside of the United States. In the event that (i) a change in an applicable law, rule or regulation requires Amdocs to perform certain or all of the Services from locations solely in the United States and (ii) such requirement would cause Amdocs to have to cease performing Services from locations outside of the United States where Amdocs had previously complied with all requirements of the Agreement with respect to being permitted to perform such Services from locations outside of the United States, then the Parties agree to meet in good faith to discuss what impact, if any, |
Page 16

At the end of the following calendar year, Sprint will pay for any of the unfulfilled hours carried from the previous calendar year. |
(3) | Sprint will receive a one-time [**] hour reduction of the [**] paid hour commitment, to carry forward annually, which applies when one or more of the Sprint applications as listed in Appendix A of Schedule A are sunset. This [**] will be effective in the year following the application sunset through the end of the term. For the avoidance of doubt, if the [**] allowed under Section 7C of Schedule D1 has been taken, an additional [**] hour commitment [**] under this Schedule D2 will not be allowed. |
7D. Additional Fees – Prepaid
Historical data requirements – As compensation for Amdocs keeping Prepaid rated events for [**] days, Sprint will pay an annual fee of $[**].
8. | Historical data requirements – As compensation for Amdocs keeping Prepaid rated events for [**] days, Sprint will pay an annual fee of $[**] starting [**] and every year after.

(2) | In addition, in the event that an Impact Assessment Document is created by Amdocs for a particular Production CR pursuant to the Fast Track Procedure and Sprint then decides not to proceed with development of that Production CRs (either at all or a decision is made to include such development within an Additional Release), then Sprint will pay Amdocs for the efforts spent in producing the Impact Assessment Document up to the maximum amount (if any) of Additional Services hours at the then current Amdocs Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 7 of this Schedule D2 will apply with regard to such payment). If a decision is made to include such development within an Additional Release then, for avoidance of doubt, Amdocs will not be able to charge Sprint as part of that Additional Release for Services and Deliverables already charged for pursuant to the procedures set forth in this paragraph for Production CRs. For avoidance of doubt, the Additional Services |

Amdocs’ failure to use good faith efforts to comply with this Schedule, including Amdocs’ failure to provide quarterly reports or to cooperate in any investigation conducted by Sprint of Amdocs’ performance under this Schedule (as agreed to herein below), will be considered a material breach by Amdocs of this Agreement. If Sprint reasonably determines that Amdocs has not made good faith efforts (i.e. willfully or intentionally failing to comply with its Diversity Plan) to comply with any provision of this Schedule, Sprint will provide written notice that Amdocs is in material breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, where Amdocs has executed Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve its Utilization Requirements as set in Section 7 to this Schedule, failure by Amdocs to reach its Utilization Requirements shall not be considered a Default or a breach of the Agreement or this Schedule.
5.0 | AMDOCS’ REQUIREMENTS |
Amdocs agrees to cooperate in any studies or surveys that may be conducted by Sprint representatives or federal or state agencies to determine the extent of Amdocs’ compliance with this Schedule, in so far as they are obligated by the applicable law and regulations.
6.0 | AMDOCS DIVERSITY PLAN |
6.1. | Within 30 calendar days of the Effective Date, Amdocs will provide Sprint with a strategic supplier diversity subcontracting plan outlining the methodology to be used by Amdocs to meet its contractual obligation to Sprint regarding the use of Certified Diverse Suppliers (“Diversity Plan”). |
6.1.1. Amdocs’ Diversity Plan must, at a minimum, address the following:
(a) | Amdocs will fairly consider Certified Diverse Suppliers for use as Amdocs’ subcontractors and vendors under this Agreement. |
(b) | Amdocs’ Utilization Requirements. |
(c) | Records documenting (i) procedures adopted by Amdocs to comply with this Schedule, including the establishment of a Certified Diverse Suppliers source list; (ii) awards made to Certified Diverse Suppliers on the source list; and (iii) specific efforts to identify and award contracts to Certified Diverse Suppliers. |
(d) | Name and contact information of Amdocs’ liaison manager designee responsible for interfacing with Sprint’s supplier diversity department and administering Supplier’s Diversity Plan. |
7.0 | UTILIZATION REQUIREMENT |
Amdocs must make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to meet the targeted diversity vendor spend of [**] annually or over the term of the Agreement of Amdocs’ revenues from this Agreement, via the use of First, Second and Third Tier vendor arrangements. The above target will be gradually increased from the above [**] percent ([**]%) to [**] percent ([**]%) by no later than the year [**]. Amdocs will satisfy the Utilization Requirement through the use of Certified Diverse Suppliers and may include all or part of its subcontractors who do not provide services or deliverables under this Agreement in calculating its aggregate Certified Diverse Supplier procurement spend for this Agreement. The Utilization Requirement calculation is based on GAAP revenue and expense.
In this Schedule J:
• | “Commercially Reasonable Efforts” are defined as those business activities that allow Amdocs to successfully meet its commitments to Sprint under this Schedule in the most timely, efficient, and cost effective manner possible, while still actively promoting the use of Certified Diverse Suppliers. |
• | “First Tier” arrangements are defined as situations in which Amdocs directly contracts with Certified Diverse Suppliers for goods and services directly used in meeting the requirements of Sprint contained in the Agreement. |
• | “Second Tier” arrangements are defined as situations in which Amdocs directly contracts with Certified Diverse Suppliers for goods and services in the normal course of business, but that are not directly used to meet the requirements of Sprint contained in the Agreement. |
• | “Third Tier” arrangements are defined as situations in which Amdocs is allowed “credit” for goods and services that although they were not directly purchased from a Certified Diverse Suppliers by Amdocs, itself, they were purchased by vendors to Amdocs, pursuant to meeting the needs of Sprint contained in the Agreement. An example of a “Third Tier spend” would be Amdocs requirement that the general contractor used to build a new data center for Sprint use Certified Diverse Suppliers for a portion of its contract with Amdocs. |
8.0 | REPORTING |
8.1. | Amdocs will, within [**] of the end of each [**], submit [**] reports detailing its use of Certified Diverse Suppliers to meet the Utilization Requirement under this Agreement. Amdocs will submit these reports in a reasonable Sprint-specified format. The reports will be electronic and must include: (1) the total amount of invoices, expressed in dollars for payment by Sprint to Amdocs, for Services and Deliverables under this |
Agreement; (2) Payments made to a Certified Diverse Supplier for the Services and Deliverables provided under this Agreement (2nd and 3rd Tier), the total amount, expressed in dollars, during that [**]; and (3) the total amount, expressed in dollars, which includes Amdocs’ indirect 2nd and 3rd Tier spend. . |
8.2. | Before the Effective Date, Amdocs must register at the following Sprint website: xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The terms and conditions of the above website shall not affect Amdocs’ undertakings in this Schedule J and shall be governed by the provisions of the Agreement (i.e. in case of inconsistency between the provisions of the Agreement and the provisions set in the above website, the provisions of the Agreement shall apply). A Sprint-approved list of independent third-party agencies for certification purposes can be found at this website. |
