SPRINT TRADEMARK
Section 3.1 Use of Sprint Trademark. In order to assist in the orderly
transition of control of the IDDD Business from Seller to RSL and in the
collection by RSL of accounts receivable in existence on the date hereof as well
as the accounts receivable created after the date hereof with respect to the
conduct of the IDDD Business by Seller prior to the date hereof, which shall be
collected by RSL for Seller under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Sprint LP
hereby grants RSL the limited right to use the Sprint trademark on invoices sent
to existing customers of the IDDD Business under their existing contracts until
December 31, 1996, provided that if RSL prepares invoices using a billing system
other than the one used by Seller as
3
of the date hereof, Sprint LP shall have the right to approve the use of the
Sprint trademark in connection with the new billing system, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld. All such invoices shall be identical in all material
respects to either the existing form of invoice or the form of invoice attached
hereto as Exhibit B, except for such variances as may be required by French law.
Such form of invoice shall be amended to provide that payments by customers
shall be made to a bank account of RSL by no later than June 30, l996. Sprint LP
also hereby grants RSL the limited right to use the Sprint trademark in a letter
to such existing customers to be sent after the date hereof. Sprint LP shall
have the right to approve the form of such letter; provided that (i) Sprint LP
shall not unreasonably withhold such approval and (ii) Sprint LP shall be deemed
to have given its approval in the event that Sprint LP does not respond to RSL
within three (3) business days of the submission by RSL of the form of such
letter to Sprint LP. RSL shall, in addition to complying with the terms and
conditions set forth herein, adhere to Sprint LP's policies and procedures
relating to the use and duplication of the Sprint trademark, as may be
reasonably promulgated from time to time by Sprint LP. In addition, so long as
RSL is using the Sprint trademark as contemplated hereby, RSL shall notify
Sprint LP within three (3) business days of any complaints actually known by it
to have been made by any of the existing customers of the IDDD Business under
their existing contracts. If, in Sprint LP's reasonable determination, Sprint LP
believes that such complaints may impair or otherwise put at risk the goodwill
associated with the Sprint trademark as to the complaining customer or as to the
customers of the IDDD Business generally, Sprint LP shall have the right to
demand that RSL immediately terminate its use of the Sprint trademark as to such
complaining customer or all of the customers of the IDDD Business, as the case
may be. RSL shall not take any action which could reasonably be expected to
compromise the Sprint trademark. The Sprint trademark is proprietary and nothing
herein constitutes a general license authorizing its use. RSL may not: (a)
promote or advertise Sprint's name or capabilities to customers of the IDDD
Business or prospective customers of the IDDD Business; (b) attempt to sell its
service using Sprint's name; or (c) represent to customers of the IDDD Business
or prospective customers of the IDDD Business that they would be Sprint
customers or that they may obtain Sprint service from RSL, except as expressly
provided herein or in other authorized agreements. RSL shall not use, and shall
return to Sprint LP promptly after the date hereof, materials relating to the
IDDD Business which bear the Sprint trademark, including any unused stationery,
other than the invoices and cover letters specifically approved for RSL's use in
this Section 3.1.

foregoing, which Sprint LP and its affiliates or Global One Communications

amount, if any, and, if the dispute is resolved in Sprint LP's favor, promptly
pay the disputed portion (or applicable part thereof) when the dispute is
resolved without the applicable late payment charge, if such dispute arises in
good faith.
Section 4.8 Currency. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S.
Dollars.

Section 8.3. Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Promptly after receipt by an RSL Indemnified Party or a Sprint LP
Indemnified Party (hereinafter collectively referred to as an "Indemnified
Party") of notice by a third party of any complaint or the commencement of any
action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification is being or may be
sought hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall notify RSL or Sprint LP,
whichever is the appropriate indemnifying Party hereunder (the "Indemnifying
Party"), of such complaint or of the commencement of such action or proceeding;
provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability for such claim arising
otherwise than under this Agreement and such failure to so notify the
Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability which the
Indemnifying Party may have hereunder with respect to such claim if, but only
if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party
results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses
otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with
9
respect to such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written
notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of such action or
proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party and the payment of the reasonable fees and disbursements of
such counsel. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or
fails to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party,in either case in a timely
manner, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it
in any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided,
however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and
disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any
jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding
with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified
Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such
action, shall have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its
own counsel at such Party's own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts
to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be,
reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any action the defense of
which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with
respect to the defense of any such action.
(b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless
such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the
Indemnifying Party from all liability arising out of such claim. An Indemnifying
Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the
Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim and does not
contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects,
restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the
Indemnified Party's respective affiliates.
(c) In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment
pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of
such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify the
basis for such claim. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has
given such notice, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party
shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement,
litigation, arbitration or otherwise) and, within five business days of the
final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an
amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder.
Section 8.4. Claims Period. Except as provided in this Section 8.4, no
claim for indemnification under this Agreement may be asserted by an Indemnified
Party after the expiration of the appropriate claims period (the "Claims
Period") which shall commence on the
10
date hereof and shall terminate two (2) years after the date hereof. No
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make any claim for indemnification
hereunder after the appropriate Claims Period; provided, however, that if prior
to the close of business on the last day of the Claims Period, an Indemnifying
Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and
such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, the
basis of such claim shall continue to survive with respect to such claim and
shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder with respect to such claim until
such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms
hereof.
Section 8.5. Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of Sprint LP for RSL Losses and
of RSL for Sprint LP Losses shall not exceed the following amounts (as
applicable):
(a) in the case of a claim made pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof in
respect of a breach by either Party of its obligations under Section 3.1. an
amount equal to [*];
(b) in the case of a claim made pursuant to Section 8.2(a) in respect
of a breach by Sprint LP of its obligations under Section 2.1, (i) an amount
equal to [*] if such breach occurs during the period commencing on the date
hereof and ending 120 days after the date hereof and (ii) an amount equal to
the "Credited Amount" (as hereinafter defined) payable as provided in this
Section 8.5 if such breach occurs after 120 days after the date hereof;
(c) in the case of a claim made pursuant to Section 8.1(b) in respect of a
breach by Sprint LP of its obligations under Section 2.1, an amount equal to
[*]; and
(d) in the case of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 or
8.2 in respect of a breach by Sprint LP or RSL of any obligation hereunder which
is not described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, an amount equal [*]
For purposes of this Agreement, the "Credited Amount" shall be equal to
the aggregate Service Charges which were paid or payable by RSL to Sprint LP in
respect of the Services hereunder during the period during which Sprint LP
failed to provide the Services as required hereunder, which amount shall be
credited by Sprint LP against future Service Charges payable by RSL to Sprint LP
hereunder commencing with the invoice for the billing period following such
breach and continuing until the Credited Amount has been credited by Sprint LP
in full against the Service Charges or reimbursed to RSL in accordance with
customary practice.
Section 8.6. Jurisdiction and Forum.
(a) By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party
irrevocably designates and appoints each of the parties set forth under its name

Agreement was entered into without the invalid provision.
Section 9.4 Attorneys' Fees. In the event attorneys' fees or other
out-of-pocket costs are incurred to secure performance of any of the obligations
herein provided for, or to establish damages for the breach thereof, or to
obtain any other appropriate relief, whether by way of prosecution or defense,
the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and
out-of-pocket costs incurred therein;
Section 9.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts all of which taken together will constitute one and the same
instrument.
Section 9.6 Relationship of Parties. Sprint LP, in furnishing the Services
to RSL hereunder, is acting only as an independent contractor. Nothing set forth
in this Agreement shall be construed to create the relationship of principal and
agent between Sprint LP and RSL. Sprint LP shall have no authority, express or
implied, to enter into contracts on behalf of RSL. Neither Party shall act or
attempt to act to represent itself, directly or by implication, as an agent of
the other Party or in any manner assume or create, or attempt to assume or
create, an obligation of or in the name of, the other Party.
13
Section 9.7 Approvals and Similar Actions. Where agreement, approval,
acceptance, consent or similar action by either Party hereto is required by any
provision of this Agreement, such action shall not be unreasonably delayed or
withheld.
Section 9.8 Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be modified only
by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each Party hereto. No
delay or omission by either Party hereto to exercise any right or power
hereunder shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver
thereof. A waiver by either of the Parties hereto of any of the obligations to
be performed by the other or any breach thereof shall not be construed to be a
waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other obligation herein
contained.
Section 9.9 Remedies. Each Party agrees that the remedies provided in
Articles VI and VIII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of a Party
against another Party for monetary damages arising from any breach of any
covenant, agreement or undertaking of such other Party in this Agreement.
Nothing in this Section 9.9 shall prevent a Party hereto from seeking and
obtaining equitable relief, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and
specific performance in respect of any such breach.
Section 9.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties agree that this
Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and is not intended to
confer any rights or benefits on any third party, including any employee of
either Party hereto, and that there are no third party beneficiaries to this
Agreement or any part or specific provision of this Agreement.
Section 9.11 Governing Law; Integration; Amendment.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without
reference to New York's choice of law rules. This Agreement supersedes all
negotiations, agreements and understandings among the Parties or any of
their affiliates and constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall affect any other written agreements or understandings
entered into by the Parties or any of their affiliates contemporaneously
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, all of which shall
remain in full force and effect.
(b) This Agreement may be amended by the Parties hereto at any time.
Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended,
modified or supplemented except by written agreement executed by each of
the Parties hereto.
Section 9.12 Force Majeure. If either Party to this Agreement shall be
prevented, hindered or delayed in the performance or observance of any of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any circumstances beyond its reasonable
control, and such delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions
and cannot reasonably be circumvented by the Party through the use of alternate
sources, work-around plans, or other means (a "Force Majeure"),
14
then such Party shall be excused from any other further performance or
observance of the obligations so affected for so long as such circumstances
prevail and such Party continues to use its best efforts to recommence
performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without
delay. Any Party so delayed in its performance shall immediately notify the
other and shall describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances
causing such delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Party be unable to
perform any of its obligations hereunder for a period of more than seven
consecutive days by reason of a Force Majeure, the other party, at its option,
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in whole or solely with respect
to the section hereof under which the non-performing Party has been unable to
perform its obligations, in which case the provision so terminated shall have no
further force or effect and this Agreement shall remain in effect as to all
other provisions.
15
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their respective officers.
