If there is a delay or interruption of performance by Amdocs resulting from its experiencing a Force Majeure Event exceeds [*****] (the “Force Majeure Period”), then Clearwire may, at its option, either: (i) terminate this Agreement, by delivering to Amdocs a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date not less than [*****] after the date of the Termination Notice; and in the event of such a termination, Amdocs shall perform any mutually agreed upon Disentanglement Obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled; provided that, during the pendency of the Force Majeure Event, Amdocs shall perform any mutually agreed upon Disentanglement Obligations to the extent such obligations can be performed despite the Force Majeure Event; or (ii) engage an alternate provider (who shall be subject to the confidentiality requirements hereunder), on an interim basis, to perform the Services that Amdocs is unable to perform as a result of the Force Majeure Event until such time as Amdocs is able again to perform the Services in accordance with the terms hereof. Clearwire shall not be required to pay Amdocs any exit fee or other termination fees if Clearwire terminates this Agreement on the basis of a Force Majeure Event. If Clearwire delivers a Termination Notice to Amdocs as described in clause (i) above, and Amdocs is able to restore full performance of its obligations under this Agreement within [*****] after the date of the Termination Notice, then Clearwire shall revoke such Termination Notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties expressly agree that if as a result of a Force Majeure Event, Amdocs activates its Disaster Recovery Plan, so long as Amdocs performs its obligations under the Disaster Recovery Plan Clearwire may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.2.2.

Effect of Termination

For the avoidance of doubt, any termination under this Section 66.2 shall be effective with regard to Clearwire and any Subsidiary and/or Affiliate of Clearwire receiving Services under this Agreement, but shall not be effective with regard to any Subsidiary and/or Affiliate of Clearwire that has entered into its own agreement with Amdocs.

Termination for Cause

6.3.1

Critical Defaults

Section 4.3.5 hereof notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated by either Party at any time, by delivering a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date to the other Party if the other Party commits a Critical Default, provided that such Termination Date stated in any Termination Notice issued pursuant to this Section 6.3.1 shall be [*****] or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a termination by Clearwire, Amdocs shall perform its Disentanglement Obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Termination shall not constitute a Party’s exclusive remedy for such a Critical Default, and such Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Critical Default. [*****]. If Clearwire ends the Term as a result of a claimed Critical Default by Amdocs, and Amdocs disputes the termination and refers the matter to arbitration as provided in Section 13.6 of this Agreement, and it is determined by the Arbitrator that no Critical Default was committed, then the termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience, pursuant to Section 6.2.1, and Amdocs shall have all remedies available to it, in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof, in connection with such determination that no Critical Default was committed. For purposes of this Section 6.3, a “Critical Default” of Amdocs shall mean each of the defaults described in clauses (a), (d), (e) and (g) of Section 12.1.52 hereunder only; and a “Critical Default” of Clearwire shall mean the default described in clause (f) of Section 12.1.52 hereunder.

6.3.2

Material Defaults

In the event that Clearwire believes Amdocs has committed a Default described in clause (f) of Section 12.1.52 hereunder or either Party believes the other Party has committed a Default described in clause (c) of Section 12.1.52 hereunder (each referred to hereinafter as a “Material Default”), the Party asserting such Material Default shall provide the other Party with written notice of such claim, and within [*****] of the date of such notification the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 13.6. The purpose of such arbitration shall 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 12.1.52, as the case may be. The Arbitrators shall make its initial determination of materiality, and if the Arbitrator 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 therefore, if any (i.e., that the conditions of a Default under clause (f) or clause (c), as the case may be, of Section 12.1.52 were met). If the Arbitrators rule in favor of the Party asserting a Material Default, or the Arbitrators fail to render a determination on the question of whether the asserted Material Defect was in fact committed within [*****] of submission for a ruling, then the Party asserting a Material Default shall

- 29 -

have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending the other Party a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date shall be [*****] or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date, and, in the event of such a termination, Amdocs shall perform any mutually agreed upon Disentanglement Obligations until they are fulfilled. If this Agreement is terminated by Clearwire pursuant to this Section 6.2.2, [*****] subsequent to the expiration of any cure period contained in clause (c) or clause (f), as the case may be, of Section 12.1.52. Termination shall not constitute a Party’s exclusive remedy for a Material Default of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Arbitrator fails to issue a determination of damages within [*****] after it makes a determination there was a Material Default, the Party asserting a Material Default may (a) terminate this Agreement by sending the other Party a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date shall be [*****] or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice, and (b) immediately commence and maintain an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of determining and recovering damages against the other Party. Further, a Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to submitting the original notice of default, and Clearwire shall not be required to pay Amdocs any exit fee or other termination fees if Clearwire terminates the Term pursuant to this Section 6.3.2. The non-prevailing Party in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 shall be required to pay the arbitration costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, of the other Party.

6.3.3

Other Defaults

In the event that a Party commits an Other Default, the Party asserting the Other Default may, after providing written notice of such Other Default, submit the matter to the escalation procedures set forth in Section 4.3.5. If, as a result of such procedure, the Arbitrator rules in favor of the Party asserting an Other Default, then the Party asserting the Other Default shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date shall be [*****] or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a termination by Clearwire, Amdocs shall perform its Disentanglement Obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Termination under this Section 6.2.3 shall not constitute a Party’s exclusive remedy for such an Other Default, and a Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Other Default. [*****].

6.4

Extension of Services

Any time prior to expiration of the Term, or if Clearwire has delivered to Amdocs a Notice of Termination, any time prior to the applicable Termination Date, Clearwire may elect to extend the effective date of any such expiration or termination for up to [*****] periods of up to [*****] each. In order for such election to be valid, Clearwire must deliver written notice to Amdocs at least [*****] prior to expiration of the Term or the Termination Date, as applicable. During any extension period under this Section 6.4 all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply.

6.5

Transfer Assistance

The Parties may agree, prior to expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, on the provision by Amdocs of certain services related to the transition of any terminated Services to Clearwire or Clearwire’s designee, including but not limited to, after the Termination Date,

- 30 -

certain continuation of the Services or any component thereof. If applicable, Amdocs’ obligations with respect to such services shall be agreed in a dedicated Additional Services Order (“Disentanglement Obligations”). For the avoidance of doubt, without such dedicated Additional Services Order Amdocs shall not be considered to have any Disentanglement Obligations. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to such disentanglement Services, if any.

Irrespective of the passing of the Termination Date, Amdocs shall continue to perform, until their respective completion (or until Clearwire earlier directs Amdocs to cease performing), any Services relating to a subsequent Release Amdocs is performing as of the Termination Date, in accordance with the established schedule for such Release and at the Amdocs Rate. Amdocs shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any and all such Releases as soon after the Termination Date as possible. For a period of [*****] following the completion of any Release, Amdocs shall provide Services to Clearwire to facilitate the transition of such Release from Amdocs to Clearwire or Clearwire’s designee.
