Purchaser
Relationship
|
2.1.
|
General
|
Under
this Agreement, Sprint will provide and sell PCS Service to Purchaser. Purchaser
will purchase the PCS Service from Sprint and pay Sprint for the PCS Service
as
more specifically described in Schedule 1.0.
Sprint
authorizes Purchaser to market and sell the PCS Service as Private Label Service
in the Markets only to End Users in the Target Market, and as more fully
described in this Agreement.
2.2.
|
Limited
Purpose
|
The
parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser is a limited purpose reseller
that
will offer Private Label Service only as a Prepaid product offering to the
Target Market. All marketing-related and distribution activities by Purchaser
for Private Label Service will be directed to the Target Market only. While
all
of Purchaser’s marketing and distribution efforts related to the Private Label
Service will be directed at the Target Market only, sales by Purchaser of
Private Label Service to End Users not within the Target Market will not be
a
breach of this Agreement.
2.3.
|
Control
of Facilities
|
No
provision of this Agreement will be construed as vesting in Purchaser any
control whatsoever in any facilities and operations of Sprint, including the
Facilities, or the operations of any Sprint Service Provider Affiliate or
contractual third party of Sprint.
2.4.
|
No
Sale to Other Resellers of
Services
|
Purchaser
will not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, entertain or accept any offer
of
any reseller or (ii) enter into any agreement or other arrangement, to sell
or
otherwise offer a reseller Private Label Service, unless otherwise required
by
applicable law. PCS Service purchased by a reseller does not contribute to
Purchaser’s Minimum Performance Standards under Schedule
1.0 or
any of
Purchaser’s other service volume or financial requirements.
Sprint

2.5.
|
No
Bait and Switch
|
Purchaser
may not offer, advertise or market Private Label Service in any Market with
the
intent to attract potential customers and planning to sell such potential
customers another telecommunications service in place of the Private Label
Service provided under this Agreement. If Purchaser discovers or is informed
that any of its employees, agents or representatives are engaging in such
activities, Purchaser will immediately take all steps necessary to eliminate
such activity. Nothing in this Section 2.5 prohibits Purchaser from offering
other telecommunications services in each Market.
2.6.
|
Sales
through Independent Representatives
|
Purchaser
may sell Private Label Service to the Target Market through its IRs, but
Purchaser will be responsible for all aspects of the calculation and payment
of
any commissions or other payments of any kind to its IRs. Purchaser will be
solely responsible for ensuring that its IRs comply with all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
2.7.
|
Pricing
Severability
|
The
provisions of this Section 2
and the
pricing provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement are not severable,

parties.

|
Highly
Concentrated Usage
|
If
Purchaser or End Users create situations that cause highly concentrated usage
in
limited areas on the Sprint Network, Purchaser and End Users may encounter
temporary capacity constraint related symptoms, such as excessive call blocking
or call dropping. Sprint is not liable to Purchaser or End Users with respect
to
any claim or damage related to or arising out of or in connection with (i)
any
such temporary capacity constraint, (ii) any coverage gap or (iii) any temporary
PCS Service refusal, interruption, curtailment or other limitation described
in
Section 6.2.1(ii)
Purchaser
may notify Sprint of anticipated highly concentrated usage by End Users in
a
particular area on the Sprint Network, including any anticipated temporary

appropriate under the circumstances, in its sole discretion.
6.2.4.

In

|
(ii)
|
For

settings and functionality that will be available to the End User
on the
End User’s handset. Purchaser will not directly or indirectly alter or
modify the handset browser content or data settings available to
the End
User, nor will it enable its End Users to do so. Purchaser will not
supply
any handset data content or services to the End User except to the
extent
specifically authorized by Sprint in writing. If Purchaser directly
or
indirectly violates any portion of this subsection, Sprint will have
the
right, to be exercised in its sole discretion, to terminate Purchaser’s
ability to resell all or any part of Sprint Data Service and terminate
Purchaser’s End User’s ability to access all or any part of the wireless

Electronic
Text Messaging
|
Purchaser
will comply and will ensure that its billing agent, IRs and End Users comply
with all applicable laws and/or regulations of a governmental agency regarding

Purchaser
Short Messaging Service
|
All
Purchaser SMS must be sent through a dedicated connection to the Bulk Messaging
Gateway (“BMG”) pre-approved in writing by Sprint. Purchaser SMS must be sent
using short message peer-to-peer (SMPP) protocol. If Sprint reasonably
determines that Purchaser is in breach of any of the terms of this Section
6.2.6,
in
addition to any other remedies Sprint may in its sole discretion, and in
addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement,
immediately discontinue the provision of Purchaser SMS.

transmitted over the Internet when using End User SMS. Purchaser is responsible
for informing its End Users of the risks associated with such End User SMS
use.
Specifically, Purchaser’s web site home page or other End User collateral will
display a link or reference to Purchaser’s disclaimers, including a statement on
the transmission of personal data and an Internet privacy statement, in which
Purchaser clearly warns its End Users about the data privacy risks of using
the
Internet. Further, Purchaser agrees to work with Sprint regarding future
security improvements which may increase the security of such messaging,
including but not limited to, use of frame relay connections or virtual private
network lines.

that may or may not be identified as such. Any Sprint logo or identification
must be removed from map information prior to publication or distribution by
Purchaser. However, the maps will not imply that the network or the facilities
are owned or operated by Purchaser. Purchaser must verify or validate the
coverage shown on the maps and ensure that the coverage depicted on the maps
represents the coverage that Purchaser desires to present to actual and
potential End Users as Purchaser's coverage.
PCS
Service may not be available in all areas shown on the coverage maps due to
a
variety of factors, including relocation or modification of Facilities,
environmental or topographical conditions, such as building configuration,
or
unexpected capacity demands. The maps will not reflect temporary coverage
changes or coverage gaps.

is
not liable to Purchaser or End Users for any claim or damage related to or
arising out of or in connection with any map information, including the accuracy
thereof.

Sprint
may, in its sole discretion, change or update the Facilities or Sprint’s

liable to Purchaser or to End Users if those modifications, changes or updates
require changes to, updates of or modifications of Purchaser’s or End Users’
handsets or other products, accessories, systems or procedures, provided that
such changes or updates do not have an adverse effect on End Users that is
disproportionate in comparison to the effect on Customers. Sprint will give
Purchaser commercially reasonable advance notice of any material modifications,
changes or updates. Sprint may, in its sole discretion, offer service products
that are not part of the PCS Service. Sprint will use the same efforts to avoid
any material adverse impact on End Users that it uses to avoid material adverse

Roaming
Services

|
General
|
Sprint
will make Roaming available to Purchaser in any portion of any area in which
Sprint has a Roaming agreement on the terms and conditions contained in that
agreement and the prices set forth in Schedule
1.0.
Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Sprint is not responsible for
the
billing practices, service charges or availability of Roaming provided by
Roaming providers, and that Sprint is not obligated to provide Roaming in areas
in which Sprint has not entered into Roaming agreements or loses its Roaming

Blocking
Roaming
|
Purchaser
may request that Sprint block Roaming for all its End Users. If Purchaser
requests this, Sprint will remove all Roaming switches from the list of switches
permitted to complete calls for Purchaser’s End Users. Due to transmission
limitations described in Section 6.2.1(ii) of the Agreement, if a Roaming switch
does not receive a ‘deny access’ response from the Sprint Network and such
Roaming switch is programmed so that no response from the Sprint Network means
that it will allow the call to proceed on the Roaming switch, a Roaming switch
may complete a Roaming call for an End User(s). In such case, Purchaser will
be
liable for Roaming charges at the rate set forth in Schedule 1.0.
9.2.3.

Disputes
Concerning Roaming
|
If
a
material dispute concerning charges for Roaming minutes occurs, Sprint will
process the dispute with the Roaming provider in accordance with Sprint’s
Roaming agreement. A dispute is considered material if the amount in dispute
exceeds [***]
in
the
aggregate during any single billing cycle. If the Roaming provider provides
an
adjustment to Sprint for the disputed charges, Sprint will credit that
adjustment to Purchaser. In no event will the credit exceed the Roaming charges
that Sprint billed to Purchaser. Roaming fraud is Purchaser’s responsibility and
Sprint does not accept any responsibility for End Users being billed for
fraudulent calls placed on a Roaming provider’s network.

terms are defined in the Private Label Operations Manual. Sprint will determine,
in its sole discretion, whether an incident of Cloning Fraud is suspected or
definitive, without any liability to Purchaser. Sprint and Purchaser will both
designate a single point of contact to expedite the notices required under
this
Section 9.3,
which
contacts may be changed at any time with reasonable prior written notice to
the
other party. Sprint will track and process any credits requested by Purchaser
and associated with suspected and definitive Cloning Fraud, only if the Cloning
Fraud exceeds a minimum threshold of [***]
in
the
aggregate during any single billing cycle. Sprint’s customary and ordinary
procedures, as available from time to time, to detect fraudulent calls made
using Purchaser’s MDNs on the Sprint Network will not be inferior to the fraud
detection provided by Sprint to Customers.
9.3.1.

Suspected
Cloning Fraud on the Sprint Network
|
In
case
of suspected Cloning Fraud, Sprint will not terminate PCS Service to that MDN,
unless Purchaser directs Sprint to terminate PCS Service. If Purchaser directs
Sprint to terminate service to the affected MDN, Sprint will absorb the costs
associated with that Cloning Fraud on the Sprint Network for up to [***]
from
the
time Sprint provided notice of detection to Purchaser, and Purchaser will be
responsible for all charges after expiration of the [***]
period.
If Purchaser does not request termination of service to the affected MDN,
Purchaser will be responsible for all charges.

Indemnification
Procedures
|
(i)
|
Promptly,
upon becoming aware of any matter which is subject to the provisions
of
Section 13.1
and 13.2
(a
"Claim"), the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party")
must
give notice of the Claim to the other party (the "Indemnifying Party"),
accompanied by a copy of any written documentation regarding the
Claim
received by the Indemnified Party.
|
(ii)
|
The
Indemnifying Party will, at its option, settle or defend, at its
own
expense and with its own counsel, the Claim. The Indemnified Party
will
have the right, at its option, to participate in the settlement or
defense
of the Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense; but the
Indemnifying Party will have the right to control the settlement
or
defense. The Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement
that
imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without
the
Indemnified Party's prior written consent. The parties will cooperate
in
the settlement or defense and give each other full access to all
relevant
information.
|
(iii) |
If
the Indemnifying Party (i) fails to notify the Indemnified Party
of the
Indemnifying Party's intent to take any action within 30 days after
receipt of a notice of a Claim or (ii) fails to proceed in good faith
with
the prompt resolution of the Claim, the Indemnified Party, with prior
written notice to the Indemnifying Party and without waiving any
rights to
indemnification, including reimbursement of reasonable attorney’s fees and
legal costs, may defend or settle the Claim
without

the
prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will reimburse

Party in defending or settling the Claim.
(iv)
|
Neither
party is obligated to indemnify and defend the other with respect
to a
Claim (or portions of a Claim):
|
(a)
|
if
the Indemnified Party fails to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party
of
the Claim and fails to provide reasonable cooperation and information
to
defend or settle the Claim; and
|
(b)
|
if
and only to the extent that, that failure materially prejudices the
Indemnifying Party’s ability to satisfactorily defend or settle the
Claim.

The
pricing for each Market in effect immediately before the date of the termination
notice will remain in effect during the phase-out period. Sprint will invoice
Purchaser for the amounts due under this Section and Purchaser will pay those

amount of the Security for the remainder of the applicable phase-out period.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing and irrespective of whether Sprint
exercises its termination rights under this Agreement, if Purchaser breaches
under clause (i) of Section 14.1,
Sprint
may, without any additional notice to Purchaser, deduct any amounts due Sprint
from the Security and require Purchaser to increase the amount of the
Security.

its
entirety without any liability by giving Purchaser at least 30 days prior
written notice. Sprint may delete a Market from Schedule
2.0
at any
time without any liability by giving Purchaser at least 30 days prior
written notice, if Sprint ceases to be licensed by a Governmental Authority
to
provide PCS Service in that Market. If within a one-year period Sprint deletes
one or more Markets, which in the aggregate represents more than 15% of
Purchaser’s total End Users as of the day the first Market was eliminated,
Sprint will adjust the minimum number of End Users in Sections 14.1(iii), (iv),
and (v) by a proportional amount.

Construction
|
The
definitions in this Agreement apply equally to both the singular and plural
forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context requires, any pronoun includes
the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”,
“includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the phrase “without
limitation”. Unless the context otherwise requires, any
references
to any agreement, schedule or exhibit or to any other instrument or statute
or
regulation are to it as amended and supplemented from time to time (and, in
the
case of a statute or regulation, to any corresponding provisions of successor
statutes or regulations). Any reference in this Agreement to a “day” or number
of “days” is a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days. If any
action or notice is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day,
and
that calendar day is not a business day for Sprint or Purchaser then the action
or notice will be deferred until, or may be taken or given on, the next business
day. This Agreement will be construed simply according to its fair meaning
and
not strictly for or against any party. No rule of construction requiring
interpretation against the draftsperson will apply in the interpretation of
this
Agreement. Except as otherwise provided, if there are any inconsistencies
between any Schedule or Exhibit, and the body of this Agreement, the body of
this Agreement controls. If there are any inconsistencies between the Private
Label Operations Manual and this Agreement, this Agreement
controls.
