3. ECONOMICS.
3.1 Payment of Wholesale Price. Subject to the last three sentences of this
Section, AOL shall pay Clearwire, within [ * * * ] after the end of
each calendar month during the Term, for each individual who is an End
User during such calendar month, [ * * * ] of the following: (a) the
Average Monthly Service Fee, (b) the average rental fee for the CPE
charged by Clearwire to consumers in the Initial Market in which the
End User is located, and (c) the activation fee charged by Clearwire to
consumers in the Initial Market in which the End User is located
(collectively, the "Wholesale Price"); provided, however, that in no
event shall the Wholesale Price exceed the price set forth in Exhibit E
below for each Retail Pricing Tier in each Initial Market. AOL shall
also pay Clearwire, for each CPE that is delivered to an End User by
Clearwire during such calendar month, a one-time fee equal to [ * * * ]
of Clearwire's cost for the CPE, such amount not to exceed [ * * * ]
(the "CPE Fee"). For purposes of this Section, End Users who are
receiving Bundled Services as part of a Promotional Offer (but only
during the first [ * * * ] of such Promotional Offer) shall be counted
as End Users only to the extent that they are paying for Bundled
Services. All other End Users shall be counted in full, regardless of
whether they are receiving Bundled Services on a paying, promotional or
courtesy basis. As an illustration, if an End User, during the End
User's first month of Bundled Service, is receiving a [ * * * ]
discount under a Promotional Offer, then AOL shall pay Clearwire only [
* * * ] of the Wholesale Price for such End User for such month.
3.2 [ * * * ].
3.3 [ * * * ].
3.4 [ * * * ].
3.5 Retail Price. AOL shall have the right to determine, in its sole
discretion: (a) the pricing of the Bundled Service to End Users, (b)
any Promotional Offers for the Bundled Service, including without
limitation, free trials for or discounts of the Bundled Service, and
(c) the rental price of the CPEs. Clearwire shall give AOL at least
thirty (30) calendar days' advance written notification of any change
in Clearwire's retail pricing for any element of the Clearwire Wireless
Broadband Service in the Initial Markets, including any new Retail
Pricing Tiers that it offers in addition to those listed in Exhibit E.

3.7 Billing. AOL shall xxxx End Users for the (a) Bundled Service, (b) the
CPE rental, (c) any charges for AOL Premium Products and other
additional charges associated or in connection with the AOL Service
(e.g., dial roaming), and (d) if applicable, any charges associated
with early termination of the Bundled Service and failure to return the
CPE, as defined in the Bundled Services Agreement. Within ninety (90)
days of charging an End User's payment method for failure to return the
CPE, AOL shall remit directly to Clearwire any payment collected from
such End User who fails to return the CPE in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the Bundled Services Agreement.
3.8 Reporting. AOL shall provide to Clearwire, contemporaneously with its
monthly payment to Clearwire of Wholesale Prices and CPE Fees, a report
of the number of End Users of the Bundled Service for the preceding
calendar month, broken down by End Users who are being charged for the
Bundled Service and End Users who are benefiting from a Promotional
Offer. In order to facilitate Clearwire's retrieval of CPEs, AOL's
report shall also specifically identify the End Users who discontinued
their use of Bundled Service during or at the end of such calendar
month. Clearwire shall report to AOL, on a real time or daily basis,
line item data that would allow AOL to reconcile, End User by End User,
the number of provisioned users of the Bundled Service. Clearwire shall
also, on a monthly basis within fifteen (15) days after the last day of
each calendar month, provide AOL with the following two (2) reports:

Availability data, broken down on a daily basis, for the previous
calendar month.

4. OPERATIONAL TERMS.
4.1 Customer Service. AOL will provide End Users with maintenance and
support of the Bundled Service according to the provisions set forth in
Exhibit B - "Customer Service." In order to facilitate AOL's support of
the Bundled Service, Clearwire will maintain and support the Clearwire
Wireless Broadband Network and, under the escalation circumstances
described in Exhibit B, provide direct support services to End Users to
address "Tier 2" connectivity issues, all as more thoroughly described
in Exhibit B. Both Parties agree to meet [ * * * ] following the launch
of the first Initial Market in order to identify and address any
unexpected operational issues pertaining to Customer Service that arise
after such initial launch. Furthermore, both Parties agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts to resolve specific issues identified
during such meeting to the Parties' mutual satisfaction.
4.2 Delivery of Customer Premises Equipment. Clearwire shall, as and when
directed by AOL, deliver CPE to End Users for use of the Bundled
Service, and provide End Users with instructions for installation of
the CPE. If, following such delivery and installation, a personal visit
to the End User's premises is necessary in order to enable the End User
to use the Bundled Service, then AOL shall pay to Clearwire [ * * * ]
for each such visit, but only to the extent that the End Users who
receive such visits constitute less than [ * * * ] of all End Users to
whom Clearwire has delivered CPE. The Parties anticipate that End Users
will, as a general matter, self-install the CPE. Clearwire may
separately charge an End User for any installation assistance that is
requested by the End User. Clearwire will remain the owner of the CPEs,
will file the requisite property tax returns thereon and pay property
taxes associated therewith in each applicable state and indemnify AOL
for all state property tax liability associated therewith. In addition,
Clearwire may take all depreciation charges for the CPE. Clearwire will
be responsible for the costs of shipping and reclaiming the CPE.
4.3 Deployment of CPE. AOL may, but only in accordance with the terms of
the Implementation Plan, test and approve CPEs prior to delivery of
such CPEs by Clearwire to End Users. For the purposes of this Section
and Exhibit C, "test" shall mean to verify the functionality and the
interoperability of the CPE with the AOL client software. "Approve"
shall mean to authorize the CPE for use with the AOL client software.
4.4 Return of CPE. AOL will be solely responsible for reclaiming the CPE
from persons who are no longer End Users. As part of the Bundled
Services Agreement, AOL will include the requirement that upon AOL's
request, the End User shall return the CPE via pre-paid mailers to be
provided by AOL to Clearwire if and when an End User no longer
subscribes to the Bundled Service. AOL shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to reclaim the CPE, and will reserve the right in
the Bundled Services Agreement to charge End Users for any unreturned
CPE units. Within forty-five (45) days of execution of this Agreement,
the Parties will mutually agree upon a reasonable procedure under which
AOL will send notices to End Users who no longer subscribe to the
Bundled Service requesting the return of CPEs ("Reclamation
Procedure"). The Reclamation Procedure shall be AOL's sole obligation
related to the return of the CPEs. At no time shall Clearwire be
entitled to contact any End User regarding such customer's failure to
return the CPE unit without first obtaining prior written authorization
from AOL.
4.5 Communications with End Users. All types of communications between
Clearwire and the End User shall be subject to AOL's prior approval.
For avoidance of doubt, Clearwire acknowledges that AOL End Users are
customers solely of AOL.
4.6 Network Traffic Requirements. Clearwire shall implement bandwidth
management practices in order to protect the integrity and performance
of the Clearwire Wireless Broadband Network and to ensure the fair use
of network resources by all users of the Clearwire Wireless Broadband
Network. To this end, Clearwire will consult with AOL before and
during, the implementation of such bandwidth management practices to
create an optimal user experience on the Clearwire Wireless Broadband
Network for AOL End Users.
4.7 Network Security. Clearwire shall have sole control over access to and
security of the Clearwire Wireless Broadband Network. To the extent
feasible and permitted by law, and at no cost to Clearwire, Clearwire
will assist AOL in its attempts to identify End Users who violate the
Bundled Services Agreement by providing AOL with data from servers in
the form of log files or other forms to identify users of particular IP
addresses during given time intervals.
4.8 Reports. In order to facilitate the flow of information between the
Parties regarding the relationship and the status of the Bundled
Service, the Parties shall prepare and furnish the periodic reports and
information identified in the Implementation Plan. Such reports shall
include a report from AOL that identifies the number of calls fielded
by AOL for Tier 1 support, and the number of calls forwarded to
Clearwire for Tier 2 support. Furthermore, the report shall include the
status of CPEs both shipped and delivered to End Users. The Parties
agree to work together on an ongoing basis to develop additional
enhanced reporting as required.

4.9 Network Outage. Clearwire shall give AOL advance notification of its
maintenance periods and expected outages, as described in Section 11 of
Exhibit C. As further defined in Section 11(a) of Exhibit C and subject
to the limitations included therein, in the event of a Network Outage,
Clearwire shall notify AOL's Network Operations Center ("NOC") of such
problem as soon as practicable (including providing the details of such
problem and the anticipated length of the outage), provide the NOC with
regular updates as to the status of the resolution of the problem and
use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the service as soon as
practicable.
4.10 Services Agreement. AOL shall provide each End User with an End User
services agreement between each End User and AOL that governs the End
User's use of the Bundled Service (the "Bundled Services Agreement").
The Bundled Services Agreement will, among other things, require each
End User to assume responsibility for the return of all CPE if and when
the End User is no longer an End User, and shall include an
authorization to charge the End User's payment method up to [ * * * ]
for failure to return the CPE. The Parties shall mutually agree upon
the then-current value of the CPE to be charged to the End User's
payment method. The Bundled Services Agreement shall be developed by
AOL (which AOL may amend from time to time in its sole discretion).
4.11 Software. AOL shall be responsible for all costs associated with the
development of the AOL Software and the media and materials used to
install and enable the AOL Software. Clearwire shall be responsible for
all costs associated with the development of the Clearwire Software.
Each Party shall not reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt
to develop the source code of the any software provided by the other
Party or otherwise make any changes to such software.
4.12 Clearwire Wireless Broadband Network Performance: Clearwire will
provide AOL with Network Availability (uptime) statistics. "Network
Availability" shall mean the total number of hours in a month during
which monitoring device(s) are able to exchange IP packets between the
monitoring device(s) site(s) demarcation points and the wireline
network handoff, divided by the total number of hours in a month. If
the Clearwire Wireless Broadband Network is unavailable due to Force
Majeure Events or routine maintenance, such time periods are not
included in calculating Network Availability, except to the extent that
such routine maintenance constitutes a Network Outage as defined in
Exhibit C. The time periods during which there is a Network Outage
shall be included in calculating Network Availability. With respect to
network uptime, Clearwire shall guarantee an overall monthly Network
Availability of not less than [ * * * ]. Clearwire shall be in breach
of this guarantee if during the Operational Period, the monthly Network
Availability is less than [ * * * ] for any [ * * * ], in which case
AOL shall not be responsible for reaching and maintaining the Eligible
AOL Subscriber Target until Clearwire has achieved the guaranteed
Network Availability of [ * * * ] for [ * * * ]. Furthermore, should
the monthly Network Availability fall to less than [ * * * ] for two [
* * * ] or more times during a rolling [ * * * ] time period, AOL shall
be relieved of the Eligible AOL Subscriber Target for the duration of
the Term. Should the monthly Network Availability fall below [ * * * ],
the remedies described in the previous two sentences and Section 7.6 of
this Agreement shall constitute AOL's sole remedies. Notwithstanding
the foregoing and for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this
Section shall relieve Clearwire's indemnification obligations pursuant
to Section 8.2 of Exhibit D, to the extent such obligations are
triggered by an outage of the Clearwire Wireless Broadband Service.
4.13 Order Processing. Clearwire acknowledges that AOL has entered into a
services agreement with [ * * * ] whereby [ * * * ] powers AOL's High
Speed Internet Options ("HSIO") area through one or more websites and a
technology platform provided by [ * * * ] that presents offers, and
transmits orders, for third party high speed Internet access
connectivity services in connection with registration for the AOL
Service. AOL and Clearwire shall cooperate with [ * * * ] to accomplish
this task. Furthermore, AOL and Clearwire will utilize the AOL approved
STAR process for all data transfer files that allow for secure data
transmissions between the Parties, and Clearwire shall enter into the
STAR agreement set forth at Exhibit G.
4.14 Nondiscrimination. Whether or not explicitly set forth in any other
Section of this Agreement, Clearwire shall treat all End Users in a
non-discriminatory manner vis-a-vis Clearwire Customers, and including,
without limitation, with respect to customer service, billing and
collections, installation scheduling services, repair time, provision
of CPE (including return policy), service levels and downtime, quality
of service, and any and all fees/payments.
4.15 Non-Solicitation. Clearwire shall not engage in any marketing or
promotional activity or any other effort that targets End Users of the
Bundled Service in order to encourage or promote said End Users of the
Bundled Service to switch from or terminate the AOL Service, provided
that general marketing of Clearwire's service is permissible so long as
Clearwire does not include in such marketing or promotional materials
any language specifically encouraging customers to switch from or
terminate the AOL Service.

business hours, upon not less than ten (10) business days prior written
notice and not more than once during any twelve (12) month period, to the
extent required to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement,
including with respect to the payment of fees, non-discrimination, and
Network Availability standard. The Party who initiates the Audit Right
shall bear the expense thereof, unless the audit demonstrates an

6. CANCELLATION OF SERVICE TO END USERS. AOL shall have the sole right to
suspend, cancel or terminate the AOL Service or the Bundled Service
provided to any End User at any time. Clearwire may request that AOL
suspend, cancel or terminate the Bundled Service to an End User either (a)
in connection with a suspension or termination of this Agreement or the
AOL Service, or (b) if such service is being used for illegal activities.
If an End User contacts Clearwire to cancel the Bundled Service, the
Clearwire Wireless Broadband Service portion of the Bundled Service and/or
the AOL Service portion of the Bundled Service, Clearwire shall inform
such End User that cancellation of the Bundled Service or the AOL Service
must be done through AOL and will then transfer such call to AOL's
customer service line in accordance with the Implementation Plan. Only AOL
shall have the right to suspend or terminate the AOL Service to any End
User for any reason. The Party who is terminating, or requesting the
termination of, services or whose services are being cancelled shall
provide reasonable advance notice to the other Party identifying the End
User whose service is to be cancelled or terminated and specifying the
reasons, subject to the Party's privacy policies. Clearwire shall provide
AOL with a weekly report that identifies each End User it intends to
suspend or terminate (and the reason for such suspension or termination)
in accordance with its rights under this Agreement. AOL and Clearwire
shall implement a system to determine whether any service cancellation
request received from an End User applies to the AOL Service, the
Clearwire Wireless Broadband Service or both.

8. Effect of Termination. If, during the Term, upon ninety (90) days' written
notice, Clearwire elects to no longer operate the Clearwire Wireless

agree to honor any existing marketing or promotional campaigns that were
deployed prior to the End Date and to take new orders for the Bundled

STANDARD LEGAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. [RESERVED]
2.COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Each Party shall comply with all material
requirements of laws, statutes, treaties, ordinances, regulations, orders,
judgments and decrees ("LEGAL REQUIREMENTS") applicable to its performance under
this Agreement. AOL and Clearwire will cooperate in developing and implementing
procedures for addressing emergencies and complying with any applicable rule,
law or regulation set forth in the Communications Act of 1934, Electronic
Communications Privacy Act, Digital Millennium Copyright Act and any other Legal
Requirements.
3. [RESERVED].
4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
4.1 Confidential Information. During the Term, Clearwire and AOL may disclose to
one another Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement,
Confidential Information shall include, but is not limited to, the terms of this
Agreement, studies, reports, records, books, contracts, instruments, surveys,
discoveries, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, designs, specifications,
drawings, blueprints, diagrams, models, prototypes, samples, flow charts, data,
computer data, disks, diskettes, tapes, computer programs or other software,
business plans, marketing plans, financial data, projections, personnel data,
collection data, price changes, forecasts, network architecture, proprietary
technology, parental controls, and other information supplied by or on behalf of
a Party (whether prepared by such Party, its agents, contractors, advisors or
otherwise) relating to its business (including any of its products), inclusive
of information developed from or based on any of the foregoing, including
reports, information packages, memoranda, and transmittal letters, regardless of
whether such information is in written, oral, electronic or other tangible or
intangible form and any other information that is, or should be reasonably
understood to be, confidential or proprietary to the disclosing Party. All such
Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the disclosing Party.
The receiving Party agrees that it will use such Confidential Information only
in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and will take
reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of such Confidential Information, other
than to its employees, contractor and agents who must have access to such
Confidential Information for such receiving Party to perform its obligations
hereunder, and who will each agree to comply with this Section and independent
third party auditors that agree in writing to comply with confidentiality
requirements reasonably comparable to those set forth in this Section. At a
minimum, the receiving Party shall protect the Confidential Information of the
disclosing Party with the same degree of care used to protect its own
confidential information, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of
care, for a period from the date hereof until three (3) years after the
expiration or termination of this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not
include information which (i) is or becomes generally known to the public other
than through an act or omission of the receiving Party or any of its directors,
officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel, or other advisors; (ii) was
lawfully in the receiving Party's possession prior to the disclosure hereunder
and not subject to independent confidentiality obligations; (iii) is disclosed
to the receiving Party by a third party who was not violating any obligation of
confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by
the receiving Party or such Party's directors, officers, employees, agents,
accountants, counsel, or other advisors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either
Party may make a disclosure containing Confidential Information without the
consent of the other Party, to the extent such disclosure is required by law,
rule, regulation or government or court order. In such event, the disclosing
Party will to the extent possible provide at least five (5) business days prior
written notice of
Bundled Broadband Service Agreement AOL AND CLEARWIRE CONFIDENTIAL
23
such proposed disclosure to the other Party. Further, in the event such
disclosure is required of either Party under applicable laws, rules or
regulations, such Party will (a) redact mutually agreed-upon portions of the
Confidential Information to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws,
rules and regulations, and (b) submit a request to the applicable governing body
that such Confidential Information be held in the strictest confidence to the
fullest extent permitted under such applicable laws, rules or regulations.
Except as required by law, rule, regulation or government or court order, the
Parties also agree to keep confidential and not disclose the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
4.2 End User Data; Clearwire Customer Data. The term Confidential Information
shall also include personally identifiable information relating to any End User
or Clearwire Customer. Clearwire shall own all Confidential Information that it
collects from prospective, actual and former Clearwire Customers. AOL shall own
all Confidential Information that it collects from prospective, actual and
former End Users. Where both Parties collect the information from the same
prospective, actual or former customer in a manner not violating this Agreement,
both Parties shall own such information, without any duty to the other Party.
Each Party shall abide by the terms of any applicable Legal Requirement
regarding the privacy rights of End Users. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, (i)
Clearwire may use End User Confidential Information for the purpose of
terminating the Clearwire Wireless Broadband Service, retrieving any CPE, and
continuing any collection activities; and (ii) AOL may use End User Confidential
Information to terminate the AOL Service or transition End Users to an
alternative transport provider (including AOL).
4.3 Return of Confidential Information. Following termination or expiration of
this Agreement, each Party receiving Confidential Information pursuant to this
Agreement will, at the disclosing Party's option, return or destroy (and so
certify to the disclosing Party) all tangible material embodying Confidential
Information (in any form or medium and including, without limitation, all
summaries, copies and excerpts of Confidential Information) at any such time as
the disclosing Party may so request.

9.3 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any failure of
performance hereunder due to Acts of God or other catastrophe, natural or
otherwise; any law, order, regulation, direction, action or request of the
United States government or any other government, including state and local
governments having jurisdiction over the Parties, or any department, agency,
commission, bureau, corporation or other instrumentality of any one or more said
governments, or of any civil or military authority; national emergency;
insurrection; riot; war, strike, acts of terrorism, lock-out; energy shortage;
material shortage; or other cause beyond the Parties' reasonable control;
provided, however, that the non-performing Party is without fault in causing
such default or delay, and such default or delay could not have been prevented
by reasonable precautions and cannot reasonably be circumvented by the non-
performing Party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other
means.
9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with the Exhibits hereto, represents
the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements between the Parties,
and can be amended only by an agreement in writing signed by the Parties.
Bundled Broadband Service Agreement AOL AND CLEARWIRE CONFIDENTIAL

9.5 Governing Law. Each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations
under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved. This Agreement will be
governed by and construed in accordance with applicable federal laws and the
laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws.
9.6 Injunctive Relief. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, breach of the provisions of this Agreement
by a Party shall cause irreparable damage to the other Party for which recovery
of money damages would be inadequate and that the other Party may therefore seek
timely injunctive relief to protect such Party's rights under this Agreement in
addition to any and all remedies at law.
9.7 Cumulative Remedies. All remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be
cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to
either Party at law, in equity or otherwise.
9.8 Survival. Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Agreement of this Exhibit D
will survive the completion, expiration, termination or cancellation of the
Agreement. In addition, any obligations Parties under this Agreement that
expressly of by their nature continue beyond the expiration of this Agreement
shall survive any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
9.9 Assignment. This Agreement shall accrue to the benefit of and be binding
upon the Parties hereto and any purchaser or any successor entity into which a
Party has been merged or consolidated or to which a Party has sold or
transferred all or substantially all of its assets. Except as permitted in this
Section, neither Party may assign this Agreement or assign or delegate its
rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the other Party, whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; except that a
Party may assign or transfer this Agreement to any Affiliate (including to any
entity that it acquires or is acquired by, whether through merger,
reorganization or otherwise) upon notice to the other Party. In addition,
Clearwire may assign this Agreement (i) to any new entity it creates to carry on
the business of providing Clearwire Wireless Broadband Service or (ii) to a
successor in interest, by merger, operation of law, or by assignment, purchase
or otherwise of the business of providing Clearwire Wireless Broadband Service.
9.10 Succession. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
9.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law
under which this Agreement is to be construed or if any such provision is held
invalid by a court with jurisdiction over the Parties, such provision shall be
deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions
of the Parties in accordance with applicable law. The remainder of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event any such deemed
restatement of any such provision prevents the accomplishment of a fundamental
purpose of this Agreement, AOL and Clearwire shall immediately commence
negotiations in good faith to provide the Party which has been adversely
affected by such restatement with value (in cash or in kind) equivalent to the
value that such Party would have received had such provision not been restated.
9.12 Waiver. No failure on the part of either Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy granted hereby or by law.
Bundled Broadband Service Agreement AOL AND CLEARWIRE CONFIDENTIAL
27
9.13 No Third Party Beneficiary; Disclaimer of Agency. This Agreement is for the
sole benefit of the Parties hereto, and nothing herein express or implied shall
create or be construed to create any third-party beneficiary rights hereunder.
Neither Party is an agent, representative or partner of the other Party. Except
for provisions herein expressly authorizing a Party to act for another, nothing
herein shall constitute a Party as a legal representative or agent of the other
Party, nor shall a Party have the right or authority to assume, create, incur
any liability or any obligation of any kind, express or implied, against or in
the name or on behalf of any other Party unless otherwise expressly permitted by
such other Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no
Party undertakes to perform any obligation of any other Party, whether
regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for the management of
such other Party's business.
9.14 Captions; Sections. Captions contained herein are inserted only as a matter
of convenience and in no way define, limit, or extend the scope or intent of any
provision hereof. Use of the term "Section" shall include the entire subject
Section and all its subsection where the context requires.
9.15 Press Releases. Except as required by applicable law, none of the Parties
shall make any public announcement regarding the terms of this Agreement or the
relationship established herein without the prior written consent of the other
Parties.
9.16 Taxes. AOL shall be solely responsible for the collection and remittance of
the Bundled Service Taxes, as well as any sales Taxes attributable to AOL's

therewith.

This Letter Agreement confirms the agreement of Clearwire ("Partner") and
America Online, Inc. ("AOL") where AOL is providing AOL Information for use by
Partner solely for the purpose of secure data transmission between the parties
in accordance with the instructions provided by an authorized representative of
AOL.
"AOL Information" shall mean software and associated hardware, currently
known as the STAR System, a secure electronic information delivery and retrieval
system, any documentation for such STAR System as provided by AOL from time to
time, and any other information provided to Partner under this Agreement.
Partner agrees not to decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer
the AOL Information. Partner agrees to use the same degree of care, but no less
than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination
or publication of the AOL Information as it uses to protect its own confidential
information of a like nature. Partner agrees not to contest that AOL and its
suppliers are the sole and exclusive owners of all rights, title and interest,
including all trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other
intellectual property rights to all of the documentation and computer-recorded
data comprising or included in the AOL Information.
The Star System contains encryption functionality which is subject to U.S.
export control laws and regulations and may not be exported or re-exported to
certain countries, for certain prohibited end uses or to persons or entities
named on the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Industry & Security's Denied
Persons List and Entity List, respectively, and on the U.S. Dept. of Treasury,
Office of Foreign Assets Control's Specially Designated Nationals List. Export,
re-export, resale, or transfer of the Star System is prohibited without prior
authorization from AOL and the U.S. Government. In addition, Partner is also
responsible for insuring compliance with
Bundled Broadband Service Agreement AOL AND CLEARWIRE CONFIDENTIAL
31
any applicable foreign government regulations, including restrictions on imports
and use of encryption.
Partner will, at AOL's option, return or destroy and so certify to AOL all
tangible material embodying the AOL Information in any form, including without
limitation, all summaries, copies and excerpts of the AOL Information at any
such time as AOL may request.
Partner acknowledges that disclosure or use of AOL Information could cause
irreparable harm to AOL for which monetary damages may be difficult to ascertain
or be an inadequate remedy. Partner therefore agrees that AOL will have the
right, in addition to its other rights and remedies, to seek and obtain
injunctive relief for any violation of this Agreement.
Sincerely,
