Parties of the valid NPA/NXX combinations used by their respective customers.
These combinations shall be accepted by the other Party. Each NPA/NXX
combination is and shall be within the entire line range (0000-9999), or a
specified portion thereof. The minimum line range to be exchanged by the Parties
shall be 1,000 line numbers. Each Party shall be responsible for all xxxxxxxx
otherwise properly made under this Agreement to any number listed by such Party
within the range or ranges specified by it in Exhibit B. Additions, deletions,

notice to the Serving Carrier. Such notice shall be in the form attached as
Exhibit B to this Agreement and shall include the requested effective date for
the addition, deletion or change.
4.2 Each Party shall provide to each other Party a list of MINs (from
among those within the NPA/NXX combination(s) identified pursuant to Section 4.1
hereof) and ESNs (of the telephones to which the other Party is not authorized
to provide Service pursuant to this Agreement), which shall be entered into the
Industry Negative File. The approved CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines, as
amended from time to time, shall be the governing criteria for the Parties.
Thereafter, from time to time, as agreed by the Parties, each Party shall notify
each other Party of all additions to, and deletions from, these lists for the
customers of that particular Party. Such notifications shall be made during
normal business hours of the Party being notified by facsimile or by telephone
with a written confirmation and shall be effective one (1) hour after receipt.
4.3 Each Party hereby agrees to indemnify each and all of the other
Parties, together with their partners and any and all of their officers,
directors, employees, agents and/or affiliates, against, and hold them harmless
from, any and all claims, suits, demands, losses and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, which may result in any way
whatsoever from the indemnified Party's denial of Roamer or local Service to any
NPA/NXX and MIN combination which has been listed by the indemnifying Party as
not being authorized to receive Service; provided that (i) the person seeking
indemnification (the "Indemnified Person") provides notice of such claim
promptly after its discovery to the Party from which indemnification is sought
(the "Indemnifying Person") and in any event the Indemnifying Person will be
released from any obligation hereunder to the extent it is prejudiced by any
delay in the delivery of such notice, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall have
the right to assume the defense of such claim, (iii) the Indemnified Person
shall provide such reasonable assistance and cooperation in the defense of such
claim as is requested by the Indemnifying Person, and (iv) the Indemnified
4
Person shall not settle or compromise any such claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Person.
4.4 Each Party, due to system limitations, may purge or delete numbers
of its customers from the lists as referred to in Section 4.2 hereof, but in all
such cases, such purging or deletion must be done in accordance with the
approved CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines. If purging or deletion of numbers is
done prior to the time periods established by such Guidelines, or through
procedures not otherwise set forth, in the approved CIBERNET Negative File
Guidelines, the Party implementing the purge or deletion will assume financial
liability for any charges incurred by those numbers. All purges or deletions
made pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be given through the Parties and shall
be in the form mutually agreed upon by the Parties and effective as of the time
established by the approved CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines (unless otherwise
modified by mutual agreement of the Parties.)
4.5 Upon the implementation of wireless number portability in any
portion of either Party's system, the Parties shall cooperate in establishing an
alternative method for exchanging ESN, MIN, and NPA/NXX information required to
permit roaming by the other Party's customers in their respective systems.
ARTICLE V
FRAUD
-----
5.1 The Parties will cooperate and, as necessary, supplement this
Agreement in order to minimize fraudulent or other unauthorized use of their
systems. If any Party reasonably decides that, in its sole judgment, despite due
diligence and cooperation pursuant to the preceding sentence, fraudulent or
other unauthorized use has reached an unacceptable level of financial loss and
is not readily remediable, such Party may suspend the use of applicable NPA/NXX
combinations, in whole or in part, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
5.2 Each Party shall take reasonable actions to control fraudulent
Roamer usage, including without limitation using either (i) a positive
validation/verification ("PV') system provided by a mutually agreed upon
validation/verification service under which the ESN, MIN and/or NPA/NXX used in
a call in the Serving Carrier's system is compared against a list of Authorized
Roamers or (ii) SS-7 connections through a network of carriers. The Parties
shall work together in good faith to designate and implement a mutually
agreeable PV system and enhancements thereto or alternative systems. The Home
Carrier shall have no responsibility or liability for calls completed by a
Serving Carrier without obtaining positive validation/verification as required
herein.
5.3 In addition to other procedures set forth in this Agreement, a Home
Carrier may notify a Serving Carrier by facsimile, with written confirmation,
that certain NPA/NXX combinations are not to receive Service. Any calls
completed using such NPA/NXX combinations made one full business day or more
after such notice has been given shall be the sole responsibility of the Serving
Carrier and the Home Carrier shall not be charged any amount for such calls.
5
5.4 Each Serving Carrier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide each Home Carrier with real-time visibility of call detail records
delivered through a network compatible with AT&T's network. Such information
shall be delivered within one hour of the applicable call. In the event that the
Serving Carrier provides such a real-time visibility system, the Serving Carrier
shall not be liable in any event for a temporary failure of the system unless
the Serving Carrier has been notified of such failure by the Home Carrier and
the Serving Carrier does not take commercially reasonable steps to remedy the
failure. If the Serving Carrier has been so notified and has so failed to take
such commercially reasonable steps, the Serving Carrier shall be liable for all
unauthorized usage attributed to Home Carrier's subscribers during the period
from the time Serving Carrier was notified of the problem to the time that the
problem has been resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Home Carrier.
5.5 For purposes of notification under this Article V, the following
addresses and facsimile numbers shall be used:
If to AT&T: AT&T Wireless Services, Inc.

ARTICLE VI
BILLING
-------
6.1 Each Home Carrier shall be responsible for billing to, and
collecting from, its own customers all charges that are incurred by such
customers as a result of service provided to them as Authorized Roamers by the
Serving Carrier. The Home Carrier shall also be responsible for billing its
customers for, and remitting to, the Federal Government all federal excise tax
that may be due in connection with the service being billed by it to its
customers. While the Serving Carrier will be responsible for the computation and
remittance of all state and local taxes, each Home Carrier shall be liable to
the Serving Carrier for all such state and local taxes remitted by
6
the Serving Carrier, for Authorized Roamers regardless of whether these amounts
are paid to the Home Carrier by its customers.
6.2 Each Serving Carrier who provides Service to an Authorized Roamer
pursuant to this Agreement shall forward Roamer billing information, within five
business days of the call date, in accordance with the procedures and standards
set forth in the CIBER Record to the Home Carrier's Authorized Receipt Point.
CIBER Type 50 and CIBER Type 70 records shall not be accepted without mutual
signed agreement and if such mutual agreement is reached it will be attached to
this Agreement. Any future revisions of the CIBER Record or additional record
types must be mutually agreed upon before implementation. In the event the
parties use the CIBERNET Net Settlement Program, or alternative settlement
program such information must be in a format in compliance with the CIBER Record
requirements or agreed upon format.
6.3 Where the Authorized Roamer billing information required to be
provided by the Serving Carrier in accordance with Section 6.2 above is not in
accordance with the CIBER Record, the Home Carrier may return a record to the
Serving Carrier as provided in the CIBER Record. Returning the defective record
will be in accordance with CIBER Record established procedures. The Serving
Carrier may correct the defective record and return it to the Home Carrier for
billing, provided that the time period from the date of the Service call at
issue to the receipt of the corrected record does not exceed sixty (60) days.
6.4 No credit for insufficient data or defective records shall be
permitted except as provided in Section 6.3 above, unless mutually agreed upon
by both Parties.
6.5 Each Home Carrier may at its discretion perform any necessary edits
at its Clearinghouse on incollect or outcollect call records to ensure
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
SETTLEMENT
----------
7.1 Each Party will settle its accounts with the other Parties on the
basis of billing information received as described in this Article VII. In the
event both Parties use a net financial settlement procedure, the Parties shall
not submit a paper invoice but will make payments in accordance with such net
financial settlement procedures provided that the Parties may submit call
records for payment that relate to calls made more than sixty (60) days from the
date of the call if such call was the subject of a dispute or investigation
regarding fraudulent or unauthorized use.
7.2 If an incorrect roaming rate is charged by the Serving Carrier to
the Home Carrier, the Serving Carrier shall refund all amounts in excess of the
contract rate back to the Home Carrier within forty-five (45) days of
notification by the Home Carrier. Each carrier shall have ninety (90) days from
the end of the settlement period to invoice for amounts in excess of the
contract rate. The Home Carrier will send a collection letter within sixty (60)
days of the invoice date, within ninety (90) days of the invoice date, and
within one hundred (120) days of the invoice
7
date. If the invoice remains unpaid after one hundred twenty (120) days from the
original invoice date, the Home Carrier may withhold the amounts from the
CIBERNET Net Settlement Program or alternative settlement program.
7.3 In the event that either Party does not use a net financial
settlement procedure, the billing and payment for charges incurred under this
Agreement shall be as set forth below.
7.3.1 The parties shall determine amounts owed to each other for
Service provided to Roamers in one-month periods with such period beginning on
the sixteenth day of each calendar month and ending on the fifteenth day of the
following month in which Service is provided. The end of this Period shall be
referred to as "Close of Billing."
7.3.2 The Parties shall send each other an invoice for Services used
under this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after the Close of Billing.
7.3.3 Each invoice shall contain the following information.
(a) Billing period used by Serving Carrier
(b) Batch sequence number
(c) Serving and Home Carrier System Identification Number
(d) Air Service charges
(e) Total toll charges (both intrastate and interstate)
(f) All other charges and credits
(g) Total taxes
(h) Total charges
7.3.4 Payment on such invoices shall be made in the form of a check or
a wire transfer which must be received by the invoicing party within thirty (30)
days from the date of the invoice. Late payments shall be charged with a late
payment fee of one and one half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance for
each thirty-day period (or portion thereof) that such payments are late.
7.3.5 Each Party may offset the amount owed to the other Party under
this Agreement and a single payment of the balance to the Party entitled to
receive such balance shall be made.
7.4 If the Serving Carrier provides pre-call validation of the Home
Carrier's customers, the Home Carrier agrees to implement Negative File
Suppression at the Clearinghouse and the CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines and
procedures do not apply.
8
ARTICLE VIII
AUTOMATIC CALL DELIVERY AND HAND-OFF
------------------------------------
8.1 Each Party shall, as Serving Carrier, provide for automatic call
delivery for customers of the other Party who are Roamers in the Serving
Carrier's system. To this end, each Party shall continuously provide the
hardware, software and transmission facilities required for such call delivery
either directly between the systems of the Parties or indirectly through a
separate network of wireless communications carriers. The hardware, software and
transmission facilities provided by each Party hereunder shall at all times be
operated and maintained to provide the most efficient level of service that is
technically feasible and commercially reasonable to minimize transmission errors
and Service interruptions.
8.2 If the Parties have implemented linking facilities pursuant to
Section 8.3, the Serving Carrier shall automatically hand-off to the Home
Carrier, and as requested shall automatically accept hand-off from the Home
Carrier in order to provide Service as specified in Article II, calls to or from
a customer of the Home Carrier in accordance with the hand-off procedures
established for such linking facilities. To this end, each Party shall
continuously provide the hardware, software and transmission facilities required
for such call hand-off either directly between the systems of such Home and
Serving Carrier or indirectly through a separate network of wireless
communications carriers. The hardware, software and transmission facilities
provided by each Party hereunder shall at all times be operated and maintained
to provide the most efficient level of service that is technically feasible and
commercially reasonable to minimize transmission errors and Service
interruption.
8.3 The Parties will work together to evaluate the economic advantage
of various switch linking options to interconnect and facilitate networking of
the Parties' respective systems as required by this Agreement. Should the
Parties agree to install and maintain linking facilities, the cost of the
linking facilities shall be allocated pursuant to the following provisions:
8.3.1 AT&T and Company will each pay one-half of the equipment
costs for the establishment of microwave facilities to link the Parties'
respective systems for the purposes of automatic call delivery and automatic
call hand-off. Each Party is solely responsible for the costs of preparing its
own facilities for the system link.
8.3.2 Equipment costs for the establishment of a landline link
(T-1) to link the Parties' respective systems together for these purposes shall
be split between the Parties as follows:
(a) AT&T and Company shall each pay one-half of the cost
for the installation, use, modification, or discontinuance of the linking
facilities. Each Party is solely responsible for all costs to prepare its own
facilities for the link between the systems.
(b) For ease of administration, AT&T will order and be the
customer of record ("COR") for such facilities. Company will reimburse AT&T
monthly for its share of the
9
recurring costs of such facilities. The COR shall be responsible for invoicing
the other Party for its share of the costs, with payment due within 30 days of
receipt of the invoice.
8.3.3 The Parties agree that this Section 8.3 relates only to
those costs necessary to establish the referenced facilities. This section is
not applicable to the allocation of costs with respect to the provision of
Service for each Parties' customers.
8.4 The Parties acknowledge that they do not currently have the
technical systems in place to allocate charges for cellular service provided by
a Carrier when a customer's call is handed off from one system to another. The
Parties agree that the revenues and costs for a call belong to the Party whose
system operates the originating cell site (the "Xxxx and Keep System").
ARTICLE IX
TERM, TERMINATION, AND SUSPENSION OF AGREEMENT
----------------------------------------------
9.1 This Agreement shall have a term commencing on the date first
written above and continuing for a period of 20 years. Thereafter, this
Agreement shall renew automatically on a year-to-year basis unless either party

days prior to the conclusion of the original or any subsequent term. After ten
years, the Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time upon 90 days
prior written notice.
9.2 This Agreement may be terminated or suspended by either Party
immediately upon written notice to the other of a Default (as defined in Section

immediately upon written notice to the other Party of the existence of a breach
of this Agreement, whether or not such breach constitutes a Default, which
materially affects the Service being provided to Customers of the non-breaching
Party. While any suspension of this Agreement, whether in part or in whole, is
in effect, the Parties shall work together to resolve as expeditiously as
possible the difficulty that caused the suspension. At such time as the Party
originally giving notice of suspension concludes that the problem causing the
suspension has been resolved, that Party shall give to the other written notice
to this effect. This Agreement shall resume in full effect within five (5)
business days after the Parties have mutually agreed that the problem has been
resolved.
9.3 The Parties shall cooperate to limit the extent and effect of any
suspension of this Agreement to what is reasonably required to address the cause
of the suspension.
9.4 In the event that a Party transfers control of an Affiliate listed
in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, as the case may be, the Party shall provide at
least four (4) months' prior written notice to the other Party and upon such
transfer such Affiliate shall be deleted from the appropriate Schedule.
The termination or suspension of this Agreement shall not affect the
rights and liabilities of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to all
Authorized Roamer charges incurred prior to the effective date of such
termination or suspension.
10
ARTICLE X
DEFAULT
-------
10.1 A Party will be in "Default" under this Agreement upon the
occurrence of any of the following events:
10.1.1 Material breach of any material term of this Agreement, if such
breach shall continue for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice
thereof from the nonbreaching Party;
10.1.2 Voluntary liquidation or dissolution or the approval by the
management or owners of a Party of any plan or arrangement for the voluntary
liquidation or dissolution of the Party;
10.1.3 A final order by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
revoking or denying renewal of CMRS licenses or permits granted to such Party
which, individually or in the aggregate, are material to the business of such
Party; or

or of any state, a petition for bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or a portion of such
Party's property, (ii) has filed against it, pursuant to a statute of the United
States or of any state, a petition for bankruptcy or insolvency or for
reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or a
portion of such Party's property, provided that within sixty (60) days after the
filing of any such petition such Party fails to obtain a discharge thereof, or
(iii) making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitioning for, or
voluntarily entering into, an arrangement of similar nature, and provided that
such filing, petition, or appointment is still continuing.
10.2 All claims and disputes relating in any way to the performance,
interpretation, validity, or breach of this Agreement, including but not limited
to a claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall be resolved as
provided in this Section 10.2. It is the intent of the Parties that any
disagreements be resolved amicably to the greatest extent possible.
10.2.1 If a disagreement cannot be resolved by the representatives of
the Parties with day-to-day responsibility for this Agreement, such matter shall
be referred to an executive officer of each of the Parties. The executive
officers shall conduct face-to-face negotiations at a neutral location or such
other location as shall be mutually agreed upon. If these representatives are
unable to resolve the dispute within ten business days after either Party
requests the involvement of the executive officers, then either Party may, but
is not required to, refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, as applicable
in accordance with Sections 10.2.2 and 10.2.3.
10.2.2 In any case where the amount claimed or at issue is Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or more and the Parties are unsuccessful in
resolving the disagreement, the Parties agree to submit the disagreement to
non-binding mediation upon written notification by either Party. The Parties
shall mutually select an independent mediator experienced in telecommunications
system disputes. The specific format for the mediation shall be left to the
discretion of the mediator. If mediation does not result in resolution of the
disagreement within
11
thirty days of the initial request for mediation, then either Party may, but is
not required to, refer the matter to arbitration.
10.2.3 Any disagreement not finally resolved in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 shall, upon written notice by either
Party to the other, be resolved by final and binding arbitration. Subject to
this Section 10.2.3, such arbitration shall be conducted through, and in
accordance with the rules of, JAMS/Endispute. A single neutral arbitrator shall
decide all disputes. Each Party shall bear its own expense with respect to the
arbitration, except that the costs of arbitration proceeding itself, including
the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the Parties.
The arbitration shall take place in a neutral location selected by the
arbitrator. The arbitrator may permit discovery to the full extent permitted by
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or to such lesser extent as the arbitrator
determines is reasonable. The arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce
the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall make a good faith effort to
apply applicable law, but an arbitration decision and award shall not be subject
to review because of errors of law. The arbitrator shall have the sole authority
to resolve issues of the arbitrability of any disagreement, including the
applicability or running of any applicable statute of limitation. The arbitrator
shall not have power to award damages in connection with any dispute in excess
of actual compensatory damages nor to award punitive damages nor any damages
that are excluded under this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives any
claim thereto. The award of any arbitration shall be final, conclusive and
binding on the Parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction over the Party against which the award was made. Nothing contained
in this Section 10.2.3 shall be deemed to prevent either party from seeking any
interim equitable relief, such as a preliminary injunction or temporary
restraining order, pending the results of the arbitration. The United States
Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law shall govern the interpretation,
enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the arbitration clause in this
Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
----------------------
11.1 Neither Party may, directly or indirectly, sell, assign,
transfer, or convey its interest in this Agreement or any of its rights or
obligations hereunder, including any assignment or transfer occurring by
operation of law, without the written consent of both Parties, except that
(i) either Party may assign or delegate this Agreement or any of its rights or
obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of such Party without the consent of the
other Party, but such assignment or delegation will not relieve the Party of any
of its obligations hereunder and (ii) a Party may assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to an assignee of its Service license or permit issued by
the FCC, provided that such assignee expressly assumes, by written instrument
approved by the other Party, all of the obligations of such Party hereunder and
thereby becomes a Party hereunder. In no event will an assignment permitted

Serving Carrier to provide Service to any customers of the assignee or any of
its Affiliates other than customers residing in the area in which the assignor
previously was licensed to provide Service.

ARTICLE XIV
CONFIDENTIALITY
---------------
14.1 Each Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and
each of its and their employees, agents, and contractors, to keep confidential
and not use for any purpose, except as contemplated by this Agreement, any and
all information and know-how provided to it by the other Party which is
identified in writing as confidential ("Confidential Information").
Identification of information as confidential shall, in the case of information
delivered in tangible form, appear on at least the face or first page of such
information and, in the case of information communicated verbally, be given
verbally contemporaneously with the delivery of the information and confirmed in
writing within five business days thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
following information shall be treated as Confidential Information without any
further identification as such: (i) The terms, but not including the mere
existence, of this Agreement; and (ii) all information exchanged pursuant to
Article IV.
14.2 Notwithstanding Section 14.1, a Party shall have no obligation
to keep confidential any information that (a) was rightfully in the receiving
Party's possession before receipt from the disclosing Party, (b) is or becomes a
matter of public knowledge without violation of this Agreement by the receiving
Party, (c) is received by the receiving Party from a third party in possession
of and, to the best of the receiving Party's knowledge, with a right to make an

party, or (e) is independently developed by the receiving Party without the use
of any Confidential Information. In addition, a Party may disclose any
Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law or regulation
or by order of a court or governmental agency; provided, that prior to
disclosure the Party shall use all reasonable efforts to notify the other Party
of such pending disclosure and shall provide any reasonable assistance requested
by the other Party to maintain the confidentiality of the information.
14.3 The Parties agree that a Party will not have an adequate remedy
at law in the event of a disclosure or threatened disclosure of Confidential
Information in violation of this Article XIV. Accordingly, in such event, in
addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, a Party shall be
entitled to specific enforcement of this Article XIV and to other injunctive and
equitable remedies against such breach without the posting of any bond.
14.4 The obligations under this Article XIV shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for a period of three years.

ARTICLE XV
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
15.1 The Parties agree to comply with, conform to, and abide by all
applicable and valid laws, regulations, rules and orders of all governmental
agencies and authorities, and agree that this Agreement is subject to such laws,
regulations, rules and orders. All references in this Agreement to such laws,
regulations, rules and orders include any successor provision. If any amendment
to or replacement of the same materially alters the benefits, fights, and duties
of the Parties hereunder, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an
amendment to this Agreement to restore the respective positions of the Parties
to substantially the same point as existed prior to such amendment or
replacement.
15.2 The Parties agree to use their respective best, diligent, and good
faith efforts to fulfill all of their obligations under this Agreement. The
Parties recognize, however, that to effectuate all the purposes of this
Agreement, it may be necessary either to enter into future agreements or to
amend this Agreement, or both. In that event, the Parties agree to negotiate
with each other in good faith.
15.3 This Agreement constitutes the full and complete agreement of the
Parties. Any prior agreements among the Parties with respect to this subject
matter are hereby superseded. This Agreement may not be amended, except by the
written consent of the Parties. Waiver of any breach of any provision of the
Agreement must be in writing signed by the Party waiving such breach or
provision and such waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or
succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. The failure of a Party to
insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or any
obligation under this Agreement shall not be a waiver of such Party's right to
demand strict compliance therewith in the future.
15.4 The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and
identification only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit
the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision thereof.
15.5 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same Agreement.
15.6 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of

publicity releases or sales presentations, without such Party's written consent.
Neither Party is licensed hereunder to conduct business under any logo,
trademark, service or trade name (or any derivative thereof) of the other Party.
15
15.9 Neither of the Parties will be liable for nonperformance or
defective performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent and
for such periods of time as such nonperformance or defective performance is due
to reasons outside such Party's control, including, without limitation, acts of
God, war, acts of any governmental authority, riots, revolutions, fire, floods,
explosions, sabotage, nuclear incidents, lightning, weather, earthquakes,
storms, sinkholes, epidemics, strikes, or delays of suppliers or subcontractors
for the same causes. Neither Party shall be required to settle any labor dispute
or other third party dispute in any manner which is deemed by that Party to be
less than totally advantageous, in that Party's sole discretion.
15.10 This Agreement is a non-exclusive arrangement between the
Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended or should be construed
to preclude or limit a Party from obtaining from or providing to a third party
Service of a type available or required to be provided under this Agreement.
