6.6 Taxes
(a) | InfoSpace may invoice Cingular the amount of any federal excise taxes or state or local sales taxes imposed upon the sale of material or provision of services as separate items, if applicable, listing the taxing jurisdiction imposing the tax. Installation or labor charges must be separately stated. Cingular agrees to pay all applicable taxes to InfoSpace that are stated on and that relate to the materials or services included on that invoice. InfoSpace agrees to remit taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. |
(b) | InfoSpace agrees to pay, and to hold Cingular harmless from and against, any penalty, interest, additional tax, or other charge that may be levied or assessed as a result of the delay or failure of InfoSpace, for any reason, to pay any tax or file any return or information required by law, rule or regulation or by this Agreement to be paid or filed by InfoSpace. InfoSpace agrees to pay and to hold Cingular harmless from and against any penalty or sanction assessed as a result of InfoSpace doing business with any country subject to U.S. trade restrictions. |
(c) | Upon Cingular’s request, the parties shall consult with respect to the basis and rates upon which InfoSpace shall pay any taxes for which Cingular is obligated to reimburse InfoSpace under this Agreement. If Cingular determines that in its opinion any such taxes are not payable or should be |
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
14
(d) | paid on a basis less than the full price or at rates less than the full tax rate, InfoSpace shall make payment in accordance with such determinations and Cingular shall be responsible for such determinations. If collection is sought by the taxing authority for a greater amount of taxes than that so determined by Cingular, InfoSpace shall promptly notify Cingular. InfoSpace shall cooperate with Cingular in contesting such determination, but Cingular shall be responsible and shall reimburse InfoSpace for any tax, interest, or penalty in excess of its determination. If Cingular desires to contest such collection, Cingular shall promptly notify InfoSpace. If Cingular determines that in its opinion it has reimbursed InfoSpace for sales or use taxes in excess of the amount that Cingular is obligated to reimburse InfoSpace, Cingular and InfoSpace shall consult to determine the appropriate method of recovery of such excess reimbursements. InfoSpace shall credit any excess reimbursements against tax reimbursements or other payments due from Cingular if and to the extent InfoSpace can make corresponding adjustments to its payments to the relevant tax authority. At Cingular’s request, InfoSpace shall timely file any claims for refund and any other documents required to recover any other excess reimbursements, and shall promptly remit to Cingular all such refunds (and interest) received. |
(e) | If any taxing authority advises InfoSpace that it intends to audit InfoSpace with respect to any taxes for which Cingular is obligated to reimburse InfoSpace under this Agreement, InfoSpace shall (1) promptly so notify Cingular, (2) afford Cingular an opportunity to participate on an equal basis with InfoSpace in such audit with respect to such taxes and (3) keep Cingular fully informed as to the progress of such audit. Each party shall bear its own expenses with respect to any such audit, and the responsibility for any additional tax, penalty or interest resulting from such audit shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 6.6. InfoSpace’s failure to comply with the notification requirements of this Section 6.6 shall relieve Cingular of its responsibility to reimburse InfoSpace for taxes only if InfoSpace’s failure materially prejudiced Cingular’s ability to contest imposition or assessment of those taxes. |
(f) | Cingular shall be solely responsible for all taxes imposed in connection with the sale of the Services to Users. |

18
9.3 Compliance with Laws
Both parties shall comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and local rules, including without limitation, all statutes, laws, ordinances, regulations and codes (“Laws”). Conversely, nothing set forth in this Agreement, including Exhibit E, is intended to contractually obligate either party to comply with any Laws that otherwise are not applicable to it. The parties’ obligation to comply with all applicable Laws includes the procurement of permits, certificates, approvals, inspections, and licenses, when needed, in the performance of this Agreement. InfoSpace further agrees to comply with the Executive and Federal regulations, to the extent such regulations are applicable, as set forth in Exhibit E. The parties further agree that each is solely and exclusively responsible for any liability for its own noncompliance with any applicable Laws and each party shall defend, indemnify, and hold the other party harmless from and against such liability.

Upon request of the other party, each party shall return to the other all materials, in any medium, which contain, embody, reflect or reference all or any part of any Confidential Information of the other party. Each party acknowledges that breach of this provision by it would result in irreparable harm to the other party, for which money damages would be an insufficient remedy, and therefore that the other party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 9.4. Without limitation and subject to Section 3.11(d), Confidential Information includes User Data (Section 3.11).

EXHIBIT D – CHANGE REQUEST AND ACCEPTANCE TEST PROCESS
C. Acceptance Test Process
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, this Exhibit D describes the process used to test and accept features for inclusion on the Services (the “Acceptance Test Process”). The parties will cooperate in good faith to develop and implement communication mechanisms such that Cingular provides feedback to InfoSpace in a timely and efficient manner in order to facilitate Infospace’s ability to address such feedback. Cingular shall have the right to review and test any Deliverable to determine whether it conforms to specifications or acceptance criteria in the applicable Work Order or SOW (if any) or as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties. Cingular may provide written notice of rejection (with detailed reasons for said rejection) or acceptance within the mutually agreed upon Acceptance Testing schedule from the date the Deliverable(s) are submitted by Infospace.
• | Following the date of delivery of a Deliverable(s) in commercial ready form (“Commercial Ready Delivery Date”), unless otherwise mutually agreed, Infospace and Cingular, prior to the beginning of test execution, will mutually agree to the following: |
• | Schedule of test execution |
• | Scope of test execution |
• | Bug / Feature triage process |
In the event that agreed schedule must change, Infospace and Cingular will review the impact from a schedule, scope and cost perspective and will negotiate a new agreement associated with the particular Deliverable.
• | Following the Deliverable Acceptance Date, Infospace will commercially release the Deliverable at a mutually agreed time. |
• | The “Deliverable Acceptance Date” for such Deliverable(s) will be the earlier of (a) Cingular’s commercial release of such Deliverable(s) to its general customer base or (b) the date of Cingular’s written notification to Infospace that Infospace has completed, to Cingular’s reasonable satisfaction, changes and bug fixes identified by Cingular and Cingular has accepted the Deliverable as being ready for commercial launch, with such acceptance not being unreasonable withheld. If applicable, Cingular shall remit payment in full to Infospace for the new Deliverable following the Deliverable Acceptance Date and subsequent receipt of an invoice, in accordance with Section 5.1. If a Deliverable is accepted and payment remitted, Infospace agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts during the Term to remedy any known bugs/defects contained in such Deliverable, at no additional charge to Cingular, based on a mutually agreed upon schedule. In the event Cingular rejects a Deliverable, Infospace shall resubmit such Deliverable for acceptance within thirty (30) days of the initial rejection by Cingular. If the re-submitted Deliverable(s) do not conform to the applicable specifications or acceptance criteria, Infospace will have thirty (30) days to fix the Deliverable(s) and resubmit. If the Deliverable(s) resubmitted for a second time does not conform to the applicable specifications or acceptance criteria, Cingular shall have the right to the following: |
• | (i) if agreed to by Infospace, extend the period for Infospace to submit conforming Deliverable(s), or |
48
EXHIBIT D – CHANGE REQUEST AND ACCEPTANCE TEST PROCESS
• | (ii) terminate the applicable Work Order, in whole or in part with respect to certain feature, and require that Infospace promptly refund all payments previously made to Infospace by Cingular for such nonconforming Deliverable(s). |
In the event that Cingular rejects a Deliverable and terminates a Work Order (or portion thereof), Cingular shall have the right to retain any materials that constitute Cingular Customized Work Product (see Exhibit L) related to the nonconforming Deliverable(s), provided that Cingular pays a reasonable amount for such materials. Cingular shall promptly return to InfoSpace all materials related to such nonconforming Deliverable(s) that do not constitute Cingular Customized Work Product.
If Cingular has not accepted (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) the Deliverable(s) within fifteen (15) business days following the completion of all bug fixes by InfoSpace, Cingular will deliver a comprehensive list of bug fixes that Cingular requires InfoSpace to carry out prior to Cingular’s acceptance of the Deliverable(s) for commercial launch, and representatives of the parties will meet and negotiate in good faith to define a mutually-agreed timeline and set of acceptance criteria to be used by Cingular in making such acceptance.

EXHIBIT G – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
2.1. | Infospace Responsibilities |
Infospace will provide day-to-day service operations, maintenance and administration in support of the Services that are within Infospace’s Span of Control, as described below.
Span of Control is defined as those areas of functionality that are under the direct control of Infospace. This includes functionality that is provided by external vendors or suppliers with whom Infospace has a contractual relationship, including feeds from providers of Infospace Sourced Content.
It is the intention of Infospace to expeditiously remedy incidents that have been identified either internally by Infospace or Cingular. Corrective action by Infospace assumes that the incident is within its Span of Control and Cingular has provided all relevant information, if available, to Infospace. See the section entitled Mandatory Information for Incident Reporting for required reporting information.
Infospace will pursue the resolution of an incident with outside vendors provided Infospace has a contractual arrangement with the vendor. During the resolution period, Infospace will issue updates to Cingular pursuant to the severity of the incident, as described later in this document.
Any third party content provider contracted directly by Cingular is not a party to this agreement. Any loss of content from such providers is outside of Infospace’s Span of Control.
2.2. | Infospace Carrier Care |
The Infospace Carrier Care Support Services team is an interface between Cingular’s Level 2 Support Group (Cingular’s non-customer facing group) and Infospace for support of services provided by Infospace. This arrangement provides Cingular with access to a single point of contact for reporting incidents, receiving updates and escalation. Table 1 provides the Infospace Carrier Care hours of operation and contact information. A complete list of all contacts is also shown in Appendix A.

3. | Service Performance Objectives |
3.1 | Service Availability |
Service Availability (SA) is defined as the amount of time the service is up excluding planned Maintenance and Cingular caused outages, computed as:
***
The above calculations allow a weighting for partial outages and degraded service, such that only the fraction of Users denied service contributes to negative Service Availability.
3.1.1 | Service Availability Target |
Infospace shall provide an overall system service availability of *** for all Services listed in the SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below, measured at no less than the frequency shown in Appendix D and reported at monthly intervals as described in Section 6.2 below. This measurement excludes downtimes caused by Cingular and service interruptions due to planned maintenance approved in advance by Cingular.
3.2 | Service Latency |
User requests for Services shall be fulfilled in accordance with Table 2 below for each calendar month. This includes delivery of all bytes of the response (content plus protocol overhead) that Infospace controls (i.e. service requests and subsequent requests for which the browser’s URL target is hosted by Infospace).
InfoSpace will achieve the latency targets set forth in Table 2 below on the schedule set forth in Table 2. The parties agree to review such latency targets from time to time during the Term and to assess whether to adjust the latency. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, these are the targets for penalties as set forth in Section 8.3.

63
EXHIBIT G – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
These requirements are specific to the portion of end to end Latency incurred within the Infospace’s Span of Control and will be measured from the secure network nearest the Infospace border router. The design of latency monitoring infrastructure will ensure appropriate components of the request and response are adequately measured. The implementation of latency monitoring infrastructure will include the deployment of a separate and specific server(s) for the purpose of monitoring and fault management. The latency introduced by the GPRS network, the WAP Gateway and other elements of the Cingular Network are excluded from the latency measurements described above.
3.3 | Legacy Components Supporting M3 |
The following Legacy Services will not be held to the Service Availability as noted above but will meet the legacy Service Availability of *** on a monthly basis as set forth below:
***
Service Availability (SA) is defined as the amount of time the service is up excluding planned Maintenance and Cingular caused outages, computed as:
***
The above calculations allow a weighting for partial outages and degraded service, such that only the fraction of Users denied service contributes to negative Service Availability.***
3.4 ***
3.5 | Third-Party Content Providers |
Infospace will be responsible for the performance, service availability and service latency of all providers of Infospace Sourced Content with whom Infospace has a contract. Where such content provider contracts exist, Infospace will perform appropriate alarming, monitoring and fault management to ensure that performance of these providers fully supports the service objectives defined in this SLA. Infospace will also identify those content providers to Cingular and provide notification of changes to such contractual relationships no less than 30 days in advance of such changes becoming effective.
Expectations for processing of third party content feeds as set forth in Appendix D are as follows: For streaming content (sports scores and stock quotes) and breaking news, all received content must be processed and published a maximum of *** For all other content feeds that are updated at least once a day, content must be processed and published within a maximum of *** For all other content feeds (those updated less frequently than once per day), the content must be processed and published as soon as possible, and will at all times display content for the current day.
Infospace will also provide monthly reporting of service interruptions, availability measures and other data for contracted providers of Infospace Sourced Content in accordance with Section 6.
In addition, Infospace will be responsible for all degradations and service impacting issues affecting the Services that are caused by providers of Infospace Sourced Content from an Infospace SLA performance perspective.

4. | Incident Management |
4.1. | Incident Resolution Responsibilities |
Incident resolution requires teamwork between Infospace and Cingular. A key element in this teamwork approach is Cingular’s understanding of the User service(s) offered by Infospace.
All Cingular identified incidents concerning failures of the Services that cannot be solved by Cingular representatives will be reported to Infospace Carrier Care Support Services, pursuant to the Reporting Process procedures outlined below. Cingular will assign a Severity Level per Table 4. If Infospace disagrees with the Severity assignment, both parties will negotiate in good faith after the resolution of the incident but all restoration will proceed based upon Cingular’s initial Severity assignment.
Any reported incident that is caused by a failure that is outside Infospace’s Span of Control and not directly related to its delivery of a subscriber service will be returned to Cingular with an appropriate explanation. Should Infospace determine that an incident being worked by Infospace Carrier Care Support Services is within Cingular’s control, the incident will be closed and returned to Cingular for proper resolution.
4.1.1. | Cingular Contact Information |
In order for Infospace Carrier Care to effectively resolve Incidents, it is necessary for Infospace to have an accurate list of Cingular’s designated key personnel. This information will be exchanged between the two parties and updated as changes warrant. Appendix A shows the type of contact information required, showing the current contacts at the Effective Date. This data will be maintained and updated by the two parties outside of this SLA document.

4.1.5. | Escalation Procedures |
4.1.5.1. | Infospace Internal Escalation |
Escalation procedures are in place at Infospace to manage the resolution of incidents when they occur. If a Severity 1 (Sev1) incident is not resolved within *** of when Infospace was made aware of the problem, the incident will be escalated within Infospace to the dedicated Manager of Production Operations, who will drive escalation and resolution of the incident within Infospace’s Operations and Engineering groups, and ensure that Cingular is kept updated with the incident resolution process. The appropriate Business Development person will also be informed of the occurrence and status of any Sev1 incident.
If the Sev1 incident has not been resolved by the Infospace & Cingular NOC teams within 1 hour, the Director of Commercial Operations will become directly involved with driving the incident to resolution and communicating with the appropriate Cingular personnel. The status of the incident will also be communicated to senior management within Infospace.
4.1.5.2. | Cingular Escalation to Infospace |
In the event that Infospace does not respond to Cingular within the times shown in Table 4, Cingular can request that the incident be escalated to the next level, based on the contact information shared between the two companies (see Appendix A for a list of names that are current as of time of the Effective Date). All escalation requests must be initiated through the 7x24 contact information provided in Table 1, and not to the individual directly. Only in the event that the 7x24 representative does not escalate within *** of Cingular’s request, should the appropriate Infospace individual be contacted directly. Cingular must verify that escalation has not taken place prior to calling any Infospace employee directly.
For the purposes of clarification, Table 6 provides escalation timelines for Severity 1 and 2 incidents, based on time after the incident was reported. Severity 3 incidents seldom require escalation but in the event that Cingular believes that Infospace is not addressing the incident in a timely manner, the parties can mutually agree to elevate the priority of the incident, and treat it as a Severity 2 incident.

4.1.5.3. | Additional Escalation Information |
Infospace and Cingular will ensure that any additional processes that are required to ensure the smooth escalation of incidents within each organization are clearly communicated to one another in writing, so that the escalation processes within each organization and between the two organizations are clearly understood by both parties.
Infospace and Cingular will exchange the names and contact information of the personnel who need to be kept informed of progress during the escalation process in Appendix A. Both parties are responsible for ensuring that the contact information is updated and exchanged when circumstances warrant. This information will not be updated and kept current as part of this SLA, but will need to be maintained separately by the two parties outside of this document.
4.2. | WAP Handsets for Incident and Problem Management |
In order for Infospace to provide the most effective level of support, Cingular agrees to provide Infospace with two (2) testing units for each device type specifically for supporting Incident and Problem Management. Each such device shall be appropriately provisioned and have a valid account and password as to properly access the Cingular network. Each such unit shall be the GA (general availability) version of the handset and should be supplied to Infospace no less than 30 days prior to launch.

7.1. | Planned Maintenance by Infospace |
Infospace will ensure that any planned maintenance events under its Span of Control will be executed in a well-coordinated manner. Proper execution includes notification to Cingular by Infospace Carrier Care Support Services.
7.1.1. | Service Interruptions and Advanced Notification Requirements |
Infospace will provide Cingular with *** advance notice (via email) of all planned maintenance activities resulting or potentially resulting in service interruptions that will have a direct impact on the Services unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Infospace may assume that Cingular accepts the scheduled maintenance unless Infospace is advised via email within *** the time of the planned event.
Unless otherwise arranged, Infospace will perform planned service interruptions from *** or as otherwise communicated between the two parties.
***
Please Note: *** Any Infospace unplanned system downtime resulting from a Cingular maintenance activity or otherwise required on account of Cingular’s action(s) or inaction(s), will not be counted against the Infospace SLA service measures from the time the requested maintenance activity was scheduled through the end of that month. The outage and/or service degradation must be directly attributable to the Cingular maintenance activities or otherwise required on account of Cingular’s action(s) or inaction(s).
7.1.2. | Communications Related to Planned Maintenance |
Infospace notification of planned maintenance will be communicated to Cingular through use of the Maintenance Request Worksheet shown in Appendix B. Infospace will provide official notification to Cingular of the start and end of a planned maintenance activity via email to the contacts identified in Section 4.1.1. During all planned maintenance activities, Cingular will establish a technical bridge for real time communication of status and progress, and Infospace will participate in that technical bridge unless otherwise agreed by both parties.
7.1.3. | Canceling Planned Service Interruptions |
In the event of a Cingular emergency, Cingular may cancel the planned service interruption. Cancellation by Cingular may occur only if Cingular notifies Infospace within *** of the scheduled start time of the maintenance window.

EXHIBIT G – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
7.1.4. | Restrictions Associated with Cingular’s Cancellation |
In the event that Cingular cancels a maintenance activity planned by Infospace, as defined in Section 7.1.1 above, and the parties are unable to mutually agree on an alternative schedule, Infospace will not be held to the SLA service measures from the time the requested maintenance activity was scheduled through the end of that month. The outage and/or service degradation must be directly attributable to the postponed maintenance activities.
If an alternative schedule is agreed upon, but a failure occurs between the originally approved maintenance window and the rescheduled maintenance window, Infospace will not be held to the SLA services measures for that related outage and/or degradation.
7.1.5. | Planned Service Interruptions by Cingular |
Cingular will provide Infospace with advance notice (via email to ***) of all planned maintenance activities requiring support from Infospace. Cingular will make every effort to provide *** advance notice and will provide at a minimum *** advance notice of such activities. Such planned activities will exclude changes to Infospace software and/or configurations as these would require additional notice.
7.1.6. | Unplanned Service Interruptions by Cingular |
Cingular will notify Infospace of any unplanned service interruptions via email to Infospace Carrier Care (***) as quickly as is reasonably possible for Cingular.
Infospace will make all reasonable efforts to support Cingular in resolving the issue. Infospace may charge its standard professional services fees for such efforts.
7.1.7. | Splash Page During Maintenance |
The parties will cooperate to display a “splash page” during any planned or emergency maintenance that would otherwise result in a TCP timeout from a WAP Gateway and other mutually agreed required maintenance activities requiring customer requests to be blocked whenever reasonably technically feasible. Such a page will be presented to users of both the wired and wireless web access points, to inform them of temporary unavailability of the Services. Service of the splash page does not constitute availability, but is categorized as either planned or unscheduled service interruption (in accordance with Section 7.1). Cingular will provide the static WML/xHTML content to be displayed in the “splash page”.

EXHIBIT G – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
7.2. | Capacity Planning Forecasts |
To ensure the highest level of service, Infospace requires Cingular at least twice per year to provide a forecast estimating the growth of their customer base (3, 6, 9 and 12 months into the future) and likely service usage. This will allow Infospace to plan the required resources to support the services for Cingular’s customers. If Cingular becomes aware of any material changes that would impact any forecast previously provided to Infospace (e.g., if Cingular has a special promotion plan in which a high number of new customers are anticipated), Infospace must be given 30 days advance notice of any change in the forecast to prepare for such additional capacity. If Cingular fails to provide Infospace with such notice, Infospace will not be held responsible for any failures to the performance objectives that could have been avoided had Infospace received such notice. A forecast provided pursuant to this section is only a forecast and is not a commitment on behalf of Cingular for the forecasted amount.
8. | Financial Consequences of Non-Performance |
8.1. | Financial Consequences for Failure to Meet Service Objectives |
The following sections define financial penalties for non-performance related to service objectives within the Infospace Span of Control.

IDs are assigned to each requirement to facilitate traceability of the requirement throughout the software development lifecycle. The following subsections explain the components of Business Requirement IDs (BRIDs).
A Cingular Wireless-assigned BRID identifies each client-provided Business Requirement. The BRID consists of three components:
The letters BR, to identify the requirement as a Business Requirement
A two- or three-character abbreviation identifying the feature affected by the requirement
A three-digit, unique value assigned to the specific BR.
Thus, a BRID of BR-ECA-010 denotes that
It is a client-provided Business Requirement.
The requirement is associated with the eCare feature.
The requirement has a unique identifier of 010.

If Cingular determines that in its opinion it has reimbursed InfoSpace for sales or use taxes in excess of the amount that Cingular is obligated to reimburse InfoSpace, Cingular and InfoSpace shall consult to determine the appropriate method of recovery of such excess reimbursements. InfoSpace shall credit any excess reimbursements against tax reimbursements or other payments due from Cingular if and to the extent InfoSpace can make corresponding adjustments to its payments to the relevant tax authority. At Cingular’s request, InfoSpace shall timely file any claims for refund and any other documents required to recover any other excess reimbursements, and shall promptly remit to Cingular all such refunds (and interest) received.
(d) If any taxing authority advises InfoSpace that it intends to audit InfoSpace with respect to any taxes for which Cingular is obligated to reimburse InfoSpace under this Agreement, InfoSpace shall (1) promptly so notify Cingular, (2) afford Cingular an opportunity to participate on an equal basis with InfoSpace in such audit with respect to such taxes and (3)

keep Cingular fully informed as to the progress of such audit. Each party shall bear its own expenses with respect to any such audit, and the responsibility for any additional tax, penalty or interest resulting from such audit shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 6.6. InfoSpace’s failure to comply with the notification requirements of this Section 6.6 shall relieve Cingular of its responsibility to reimburse InfoSpace for taxes only if InfoSpace’s failure materially prejudiced Cingular’s ability to contest imposition or assessment of those taxes.
(e) Cingular shall be solely responsible for all taxes imposed in connection with the sale of the Services to Users.

121
EXHIBIT K – LICENSE AGREEMENT
10.3 Compliance with Laws. Both parties shall comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and local rules, including without limitation, all statutes, laws, ordinances, regulations and codes (“Laws”). Conversely, nothing set forth in this Agreement, including Exhibit H, is intended to contractually obligate either party to comply with any Laws that otherwise are not applicable to it. The parties’ obligation to comply with all applicable Laws includes the procurement of permits, certificates, approvals, inspections, and licenses, when needed, in the performance of this Agreement. InfoSpace further agrees to comply with the Executive and Federal regulations, to the extent such regulations are applicable, as set forth in Exhibit H. The parties further agree that each is solely and exclusively responsible for any liability for its own noncompliance with any applicable Laws and each party shall defend, indemnify, and hold the other party harmless from and against such liability.
10.4 Confidentiality.
Each party, which receives proprietary and/or confidential information of the other party (the “Receiving Party”), shall retain in confidence the terms of this Agreement, and all other non-public information and know-how of the other party disclosed or acquired by the Receiving Party pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is either designated as proprietary and/or confidential or by the nature of the circumstances surrounding disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated as proprietary and/or confidential (“Confidential Information”); provided that each party may disclose Confidential Information to its immediate legal and financial consultants and to any Affiliates (and its employees) with a need to know arising as a result of this Agreement, in the ordinary course of its business. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to protect Confidential Information of the other party, and in any event, to take precautions at least as great as those taken to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any information that: (a) was known by the Receiving Party prior to disclosure thereof by the other party; (b) was in or entered the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party, until such time as notified by the other party that such third party was not legally entitled to make such disclosure without violation of an obligation of confidentiality; (d) is required to be disclosed by applicable laws or regulations (but in such event, only to the extent required to be disclosed); or (e) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to any Confidential Information of the other party. Upon request of the other party, each party shall return to the other all materials, in any medium, which contain, embody, reflect or reference all or any part of any Confidential Information of the other party. Each party acknowledges that breach of this provision by it would result in irreparable harm to the other party, for which money damages would be an insufficient remedy, and therefore that the other party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 10.4. Without limitation and subject to Section 5.8(d), Confidential Information includes User Data (Section 5.8).

C. | Acceptance Test Process |
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, this Exhibit D describes the process used to test and accept features for inclusion on the Services (the “Acceptance Test Process”). The parties will cooperate in good faith to develop and implement communication mechanisms such that Cingular provides feedback to InfoSpace in a timely and efficient manner in order to facilitate Infospace’s ability to address such feedback. Cingular shall have the right to review and test any Deliverable to determine whether it conforms to specifications or acceptance criteria in the applicable Work Order or SOW (if any) or as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties. Cingular may provide written notice of rejection (with detailed reasons for said rejection) or acceptance within the mutually agreed upon Acceptance Testing schedule from the date the Deliverable(s) are submitted by Infospace.
• | Following the date of delivery of a Deliverable(s) in commercial ready form (“Commercial Ready Delivery Date”), unless otherwise mutually agreed, Infospace and Cingular, prior to the beginning of test execution, will mutually agree to the following: |
• | Schedule of test execution |
• | Scope of test execution |
• | Bug / Feature triage process |
In the event that agreed schedule must change, Infospace and Cingular will review the impact from a schedule, scope and cost perspective and will negotiate a new agreement associated with the particular Deliverable.
• | Following the Deliverable Acceptance Date, Infospace will commercially release the Deliverable at a mutually agreed time. |
• | The “Deliverable Acceptance Date” for such Deliverable(s) will be the earlier of (a) Cingular’s commercial release of such Deliverable(s) to its general customer base or (b) the date of Cingular’s written notification to Infospace that Infospace has completed, to Cingular’s reasonable satisfaction, changes and bug fixes identified by Cingular and Cingular has accepted the Deliverable as being ready for commercial launch, with such acceptance not being unreasonable withheld. If applicable, Cingular shall remit payment in full to Infospace for the new Deliverable following the Deliverable Acceptance Date and subsequent receipt of an invoice, in accordance with Section 5.1. If a Deliverable is accepted and payment remitted, Infospace agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts during the Term to remedy any known bugs/defects contained in such Deliverable, at no additional charge to Cingular, based on a mutually agreed upon schedule. In the event Cingular rejects a Deliverable, Infospace shall resubmit such Deliverable for acceptance within thirty (30) days of the initial rejection by Cingular. If the re-submitted Deliverable(s) do not conform to the applicable specifications or acceptance criteria, Infospace will have thirty (30) days to fix the Deliverable(s) and resubmit. If the Deliverable(s) resubmitted for a second time does not conform to the applicable specifications or acceptance criteria, Cingular shall have the right to the following: |
• | If agreed to by Infospace, extend the period for Infospace to submit conforming Deliverable(s), or |
132
EXHIBIT K – LICENSE AGREEMENT
• | Terminate the applicable Work Order, in whole or in part with respect to certain feature, and require that Infospace promptly refund all payments previously made to Infospace by Cingular for such nonconforming Deliverable(s). |
In the event that Cingular rejects a Deliverable and terminates a Work Order (or portion thereof), Cingular shall have the right to retain any materials that constitute Cingular Customized Work Product (see Exhibit L) related to the nonconforming Deliverable(s), provided that Cingular pays a reasonable amount for such materials. Cingular shall promptly return to InfoSpace all materials related to such nonconforming Deliverable(s) that do not constitute Cingular Customized Work Product.

10.1.1.2 | In the event that a third party brings an Infringement Claim against Motricity, its affiliates, or any Indemnified Party, Motricity shall: (i) pay all consultant, attorney and other legal fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party in that party’s efforts to assess if the use, sale, offer to sell, or importation of any Products or Services infringes any pending or issued patent or utility model (“Infringement Assessment”) or related to the avoidance of such infringement; and (ii) fully assist the Indemnified Party in the Infringement Assessment by promptly providing to the Indemnified Party, upon that party’s request, all relevant information or material in Motricity’s possession or control that has been used by Motricity itself in making such assessment, including but not limited to, any in-house or outside counsel opinions, subject to appropriate measures and agreements between the parties to preserve any privilege that may apply to such information. If following an Infringement Assessment, AT&T believes in its sole discretion that there is a possibility that AT&T’ use, sale, offers to sell, or importation of any Products or Services or related documentation infringes a third-party’s issued patent or utility model, AT&T may, upon notice to Motricity, terminate this Agreement. Such termination or failure to so terminate shall not be an exclusive remedy and shall not in any manner limit AT&T’s other remedies or Motricity’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement. |
10
10.1.1.3 | MOTRICITY AGREES THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY (AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH A PROVISION CONTAINS LANGUAGE THAT REPRESENTS ITSELF AS TRUMPING OTHER PROVISIONS CONTRARY TO IT), WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED: (I) MOTRICITY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTUAL, ENHANCED, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, TREBLE AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ASSERTED AGAINST, INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY, IMPOSED ON, OR AWARDED AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH MOTRICITY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.1; AND (II) NONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED ANYWHERE IN |
THIS AGREEMENT WILL APPLY TO MOTRICITY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 10.1.
10.1.2 | Procedure.

10.1.2.1 | AT&T may, at its option, participate and appear with Motricity in the defense, settlement and compromise of any claims or actions regarding Motricity’s obligations under this Section 10.1; |
10.1.2.2 | In the event of any claims or actions regarding Motricity’s obligations under this Section 10.1, if, in the absence of an injunction or other judicial action, Motricity desires to settle or compromise such claims or actions and such settlement or compromise would in any manner involve any action or forbearance by any Indemnified Party, prior to agreeing to any such settlement or compromise Motricity shall obtain the written consent of AT&T, which may be withheld in AT&T’s reasonable discretion. In the event AT&T reasonably withholds such consent, Motricity shall not be relieved of its indemnification obligations under this Section 10.1; and |
10.1.2.3 | If any claims or actions regarding Motricity’s obligations under this Section 10.1 are to be settled or satisfied solely by the payment of money by Motricity, Motricity may control such settlement or satisfaction. |

shall fully deploy, and Motricity shall fully compensate the Indemnified Party for all costs, expenses and fines associated with such replacement; or (iii) modify such Deliverable(s)(without loss of any functionality and such that the Product or Service is fully compliant with all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and all specifications and requirements applicable to the Product or Service), to make them non-infringing and after which modification, the Products or Services will be in full compliance with all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, which modified product Motricity shall fully deploy, and Motricity shall fully compensate the Indemnified Party for all costs, expenses, and fines associated with such modification and deployment. |
10.1.3.2 | Intentionally omitted. |
10.1.3.3 | If in AT&T’s reasonable discretion, AT&T believes compliance with any injunction or other judicial action which prevents or restricts an Indemnified Party’s use or enjoyment of the Products or Services, in whole or in part, would require an Indemnified |
Party to take any action or forebear from any action such that: (i) any services provided or performed by AT&T might be interrupted or diminished to any material degree; or (ii) any customers’ use of services provided by AT&T might be interrupted or diminished to any degree, then at AT&T’s direction, Motricity shall use its best efforts to stay or appeal such an injunction or judicial action.
10.1.3.4 | Without excusing Motricity from any of Motricity’s other obligations set forth in this Section 10, if in Motricity’s reasonable discretion neither option (i), (ii), nor (iii) in Section 10.1.3.1 can be attained, or, in fact, none of the options are in fact obtained, AT&T in its sole discretion may choose to return to Motricity the Products or Services in AT&T’s possession, and Motricity will refund to AT&T all amounts paid for the development of the Products or Services and services provided under this Agreement, reduced on a straight-line amortization basis over five (5) years. |

10.2.1.2 | Any of either Motricity’s, its agents’ or its subcontractors’ employees or former employees for which the Motricity’s, its agents’ or its subcontractors’ liability to such employee or former employee would otherwise be subject to payments under the state Workers’ Compensation laws or an Employer’s Liability policy, premises liability principles or any other law or form of legal duty or obligation; and |

In connection with any claim for indemnity under this Section 10, AT&T agrees to notify Motricity promptly of any written claims or demands against an Indemnified Party for which Motricity is responsible under this Section 10.

10.5 | Notice by Motricity. Motricity agrees to notify AT&T promptly of any written claims or demands against an Indemnified Party for which Motricity is responsible under this Section 10. |
18. | The Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 11 “Confidential Information” as follows: |

EXHIBIT G-1 – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT – WAP BASED SERVICES
1. | General Information |
1.1. | Purpose |
The purpose of this document is to identify the levels of service that will be maintained by Motricity and to provide this information to operations personnel of both parties responsible for the monitoring and/or support of the Services.
1.2. | Scope |
This Service Level Agreement (SLA) describes the basic level of service that will be provided by Motricity in its support of the delivery of the Services to AT&T for WAP based applications (“WAP Services”). For purposes of clarity reference to Services in this SLA means the WAP Services. This agreement describes the requirements for the following:
a) | support and maintenance of all Motricity and third-party hardware and software for the Services |
b) | 7x24x365 support and response requirements for support calls; |
c) | fixes, patches, and minor enhancements; |
d) | new software releases that contain fixes to defects in production feature functionality; and |
e) | on-site resources to support acceptance testing, trouble shooting, and system upgrades. |
This SLA also defines requirements for response (including email, telephone, remote, and on-site) and resolution timeframes related to Severity 1, Severity 2, and Severity 3 incidents, as well as non-performance financial penalties which will be owed to AT&T for failures to meet certain obligations defined herein.
This document also defines expectations relating to:
• | Motricity and AT&T Responsibilities with respect to the Services |
• | Service Performance Objectives |
• | Incident Management |
• | Incident Reporting Process |
• | Operational Reports |
• | Change Control Management |
This document should be used as a reference for AT&T’s Network Operations and its contracted affiliates and Motricity in support of the Services. It provides the framework for surveillance, isolation, analysis, and resolution of problems related to the Services.
As a means to ensure the highest level of accuracy and efficiency for both AT&T and Motricity, this SLA supersedes all existing Service Level Agreements relating to the Services.
For a complete list of the Services that are subject to this SLA, see the SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below.
1.3. | Out of Scope |
The following items are deemed to be outside the scope of this SLA; however, both parties will make a good faith effort to establish the following independently from this SLA.
***
21
1.4. | Definitions |
For purposes of this SLA the following definitions shall apply:
“Service Area” refers to the specific Service components for which financial consequences for non-performance apply under this SLA.
“MEdia Net Home Page” is a Service Area that refers to the default landing page for MEdia Net.
“MEdia Net Category Applications” is a Service Area that refers to the MEdia Net Service applications provided to AT&T by Motricity and/or hosted by Motricity for AT&T since November 17, 2005
“MEdia Net Active Links” or “Active Links” is a Service Area that means links which can be added to a User’s MEdia Net Home Page, can be either dynamic or static. Dynamic Active Links are those which contain both category links and dynamic content which is updated periodically throughout the day. Static Activel Links are bookmarks which do not contain feed-driven dynamic content (also referred to as “Bubbles.”)
2. | Responsibilities and Services |
This Section 2 describes Motricity’s support responsibilities with respect to the Services, and the corresponding responsibilities of AT&T.
2.1. | Motricity Responsibilities |
Motricity will provide day-to-day service operations, maintenance and administration in support of the Services that are within Motricity’s Span of Control, as described below.
Span of Control is defined as those areas of functionality that are under the direct control of Motricity. This includes functionality that is provided by external vendors or suppliers with whom Motricity has a contractual relationship, including feeds from providers of Motricity Sourced Content.
It is the intention of Motricity to expeditiously remedy incidents that have been identified either internally by Motricity or AT&T. Corrective action by Motricity assumes that the incident is within its Span of Control and AT&T has provided all relevant information, if available, to Motricity. See the section entitled Mandatory Information for Incident Reporting for required reporting information.
Motricity will pursue the resolution of an incident with outside vendors provided Motricity has a contractual arrangement with the vendor. During the resolution period, Motricity will issue updates to AT&T pursuant to the severity of the incident, as described later in this document.
Any third party content provider contracted directly by AT&T is not a party to this agreement. Any loss of content from such providers is outside of Motricity’s Span of Control.
2.2. | Motricity Carrier Care |
The Motricity Carrier Care Support Services team is an interface between AT&T’s Level 2 Support Group (AT&T’s non-customer facing group) and Motricity for support of services provided by Motricity. This arrangement provides AT&T with access to a single point of contact for reporting incidents, receiving updates and escalation. Table 1 provides the Motricity Carrier Care hours of operation and contact information. A complete list of all contacts is also shown in Appendix A. These contacts are to be contacted per the escalation procedures outlined in Section 3.

2.3. | AT&T Responsibilities |
AT&T will provide support for Incident Management as detailed in Section 4.
3. | Service Performance Objectives |
3.1 | Service Availability |
Service Availability (SA) is defined as the amount of time the service is up excluding planned Maintenance and AT&T caused outages, computed as:
***
The above calculations allow a weighting for partial outages and degraded service, such that only the fraction of Users denied service contributes to negative Service Availability.
3.1.1 | Service Availability Target |
Motricity shall provide an overall system service availability *** for all Services listed in the SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below, measured at no less than the frequency shown in Appendix D and reported at monthly intervals as described in Section 6.2 below. This measurement excludes downtimes caused by AT&T and service interruptions due to planned maintenance approved in advance by AT&T.
3.2 | Service Latency |
User requests for Services shall be fulfilled in accordance with Table 2 below for each calendar month. This includes delivery of all bytes of the response (content plus protocol overhead) that Motricity controls (i.e. service requests and subsequent requests for which the browser’s URL target is hosted by Motricity). Motricity will achieve the latency targets set forth in Table 2 below on the schedule set forth in Table 2. The parties agree to review such latency targets from time to time during the Term and to assess whether to adjust the latency. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, these are the targets for penalties as set forth in Section 8.3.

Table 2, Latency Target Ramp
These requirements are specific to the portion of end to end Latency incurred within the Motricity’s Span of Control and will be measured from the secure network nearest the Motricity border router. The design of latency monitoring infrastructure will ensure appropriate components of the request and response are adequately measured. The implementation of latency monitoring infrastructure will include the deployment of a separate and specific server(s) for the purpose of monitoring and fault management. The latency introduced by the GPRS network, the WAP Gateway and other elements of the AT&T Network are excluded from the latency measurements described above.
3.3 | Legacy Components Supporting Media Net |
The following Legacy Services will not be held to the Service Availability as noted above but will meet the legacy Service Availability *** a monthly basis as set forth below:
***
Service Availability (SA) is defined as the amount of time the service is up excluding planned Maintenance and AT&T caused outages, computed as:
***
The above calculations allow a weighting for partial outages and degraded service, such that only the fraction of Users denied service contributes to negative Service Availability.
***
3.4 | *** |
3.5 | Third-Party Content Providers |
Motricity will be responsible for the performance, service availability and service latency of all providers of Motricity Sourced Content with whom Motricity has a contract. Where such content provider contracts exist, Motricity will perform appropriate alarming, monitoring and fault management to ensure that performance of these providers fully supports the service objectives defined in this SLA. Motricity will also identify those content providers to AT&T and provide notification of changes to such contractual relationships no less than 30 days in advance of such changes becoming effective.
Expectations for processing of third party content feeds as set forth in Appendix D are as follows: For streaming content (sports scores and stock quotes) and breaking news, all received content must be processed and published a maximum *** For all other content feeds that are updated at least once a day, content must be processed and published within a maximum of *** For all other content feeds (those updated less frequently than once per day), the content must be processed and published as soon as possible, and will at all times display content for the current day.
Motricity will also provide monthly reporting of service interruptions, availability measures and other data for contracted providers of Motricity Sourced Content in accordance with Section 6.
In addition, Motricity will be responsible for all degradations and service impacting issues affecting the Services that are caused by providers of Motricity Sourced Content from a Motricity SLA performance perspective.

4. | Incident Management |
4.1. | Incident Resolution Responsibilities |
Incident resolution requires teamwork between Motricity and AT&T. A key element in this teamwork approach is AT&T’s understanding of the User service(s) offered by Motricity.
All AT&T identified incidents concerning failures of the Services that cannot be solved by AT&T representatives will be reported to Motricity Carrier Care Support Services, pursuant to the Reporting Process procedures outlined below. AT&T will assign a Severity Level per Table 4. If Motricity disagrees with the Severity assignment, both parties will negotiate in good faith after the resolution of the incident but all restoration will proceed based upon AT&T’s initial Severity assignment.
Any reported incident that is caused by a failure that is outside Motricity’s Span of Control and not directly related to its delivery of a subscriber service will be returned to AT&T with an appropriate explanation. Should Motricity determine that an incident being worked by Motricity Carrier Care Support Services is within AT&T’s control, the incident will be closed and returned to AT&T for proper resolution.
4.1.1. | AT&T Contact Information |
In order for Motricity Carrier Care to effectively resolve Incidents, it is necessary for Motricity to have an accurate list of AT&T’s designated key personnel. This information will be exchanged between the two parties and updated as changes warrant. Appendix A shows the type of contact information required, showing the current contacts at the Effective Date. This data will be maintained and updated by the two parties outside of this SLA document.

4.1.4. | Technical Bridge and Executive Bridge |
During the resolution of a service affecting incident, AT&T may establish a Technical Bridge and/or an Executive Bridge for any Incident. Motricity shall join the Technical Bridge upon *** notice from AT&T for Severity 1 issues as noted in Table 5 below. These bridges are used for NOC-to- NOC communication, troubleshooting, triage and escalation. Unless otherwise notified by AT&T, a Technical Bridge or Executive Bridge will be established as follows:

4.1.5. | Escalation Procedures |
4.1.5.1. | Motricity Internal Escalation |
Escalation procedures are in place at Motricity to manage the resolution of incidents when they occur. If a Severity 1 (Sev1) incident is not resolved within *** of when Motricity was made aware of the problem, the incident will be escalated within Motricity to the dedicated Manager of Service Operations, who will drive escalation and resolution of the incident within Motricity’s Operations and Engineering groups, and ensure that AT&T is kept updated with the incident resolution process. The appropriate Business Development person will also be informed of the occurrence and status of any Sev1 incident. If the Sev1 incident has not been resolved by the Motricity & AT&T NOC teams within *** the Director of Commercial Operations will become directly involved with driving the incident to resolution and communicating with the appropriate AT&T personnel. The status of the incident will also be communicated to senior management within Motricity.
4.1.5.2. | AT&T Escalation to Motricity |
In the event that Motricity does not respond to AT&T within the times shown in Table 4, AT&T can request that the incident be escalated to the next level, based on the contact information shared between the two companies (see Appendix A for a list of names that are current as of time of the Effective Date). All escalation requests must be initiated through the 7x24 contact information provided in Table 1, and not to the individual directly. Only in the event that the 7x24 representative does not escalate within *** should the appropriate Motricity individual be contacted directly. AT&T must verify that escalation has not taken place prior to calling any Motricity employee directly.
For the purposes of clarification, Table 6 provides escalation timelines for Severity 1 and 2 incidents, based on time after the incident was reported. Severity 3 incidents seldom require escalation but in the event that AT&T believes that Motricity is not addressing the incident in a timely manner, the parties can mutually agree to elevate the priority of the incident, and treat it as a Severity 2 incident.

Table 6, Escalation Timetable
4.1.5.3. | Additional Escalation Information |
Motricity and AT&T will ensure that any additional processes that are required to ensure the smooth escalation of incidents within each organization are clearly communicated to one another in writing, so that the escalation processes within each organization and between the two organizations are clearly understood by both parties.
Motricity and AT&T will exchange the names and contact information of the personnel who need to be kept informed of progress during the escalation process in Appendix A. Both parties are responsible for ensuring that the contact information is updated and exchanged when circumstances warrant. This information will not be updated and kept current as part of this SLA, but will need to be maintained separately by the two parties outside of this document.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |

4.2. | WAP Handsets for Incident and Problem Management |
In order for Motricity to provide the most effective level of support, AT&T agrees to provide Motricity with two (2) testing units for each device type specifically for supporting Incident and Problem Management. Each such device shall be appropriately provisioned and have a valid account and password as to properly access the AT&T network. Each such unit shall be the GA (general availability) version of the handset and should be supplied to Motricity no less than 30 days prior to launch.
5. | Incident Reporting Process |
5.1. | Communicating Incidents |
AT&T will communicate incidents to Motricity in the following manner:
• | Phone call to Motricity SOC or sends a trouble ticket to Motricity via email using the email address of xxxxxxx.xxxx@Xxxxxxxxx.xxx. |
• | Motricity sets the initial classification of their internal trouble ticket according to the AT&T notification (see “Mandatory Information” below), unless otherwise agreed between Motricity and AT&T. |
• | Motricity will generate a single response for each trouble ticket that is received from AT&T, to confirm receipt of the incident report. |
5.1.1. | Mandatory Information for Incident Reporting |
For each AT&T originated incident, AT&T will make every effort to provide as much information to Motricity that will facilitate timely problem determination and resolution. Upon notification of the incidents, the required information will be verified. When Motricity has received sufficient information, Motricity will begin resolving the incident and provide feedback to AT&T as described above in Section 5.1 Communicating Incidents.
AT&T will use best efforts to provide Motricity the following information via email for all reported incidents as required:
• | Reference number assigned by AT&T. |
• | Motricity Service being used. |
• | System Identity number (usually phone number). |
• | Time and date of the transaction in question. |
• | Description of the incident. |
• | Severity of the incident or problem. |
• | List of specific steps to reproduce the problem if possible |
• | List of those actions taken by AT&T to verify the problem and that AT&T has attempted to resolve the incident. |
• | Other comments to provide additional information as needed. |
• | All communications that include references to time should be expressed using a 24-hour clock format and should always utilize and reference PST as the standard time zone. |
30
6. | Motricity Reports |
6.1. | Post Mortem Reports |
The purpose of the Post-Mortem Report is to outline the known information regarding the incident and possible root causes and to summarize the incident resolution timeline. If known, it will also identify corrective actions to prevent its reoccurrence. Motricity will create a Post-Mortem Report and provide such report to AT&T per Section 2.2.1.
6.2. | Service Level Reporting |
Each month, Motricity will provide AT&T with a “Monthly Service Level Report” indicating the service performance for the Services for the previous month (see SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below for detailed list of Services associated with this SLA). This report will contain performance reporting for the service performance objectives listed in Appendix D and a summary of the weekly incident response reports described in Section 6.3 for such month.
Motricity shall supply the Monthly Service Level Report no later than the tenth business day of the month following the immediately preceding month. It is agreed that Motricity will work towards publishing the Monthly Service Level Report on the sixth business day starting 6 months from the initial launch of Services.
The Monthly Service Level Report shall include, among other things, the following information related to service availability for the Services listed in Appendix D:
• | Total minutes in the current month |
• | Total available minutes for the reported month for each Service |
• | Calculated Service Availability, presented as a percentage for each Service |
• | Target Service Level Availability for each Service |
• | Variance from Target Service Level for each Service |
• | Overall Service Level Availability for the Services |
The Monthly Service Level Report shall include, among other things, the following information related to latency for the Services listed in Appendix D:
***
The Monthly Service Level Report shall also include, among other things, the following information for the Services listed in Appendix D:
• | Appropriate performance metrics related to processing of 3rd party content feeds |
• | Overall Service Level Availability for Motricity contracted Third Party Content Providers |
• | Detailed log of all service impacting incidents for the month |
6.3. | Open Issues List Reporting |
Motricity shall provide a weekly Open Issues Report, to be reviewed jointly with AT&T during the weekly Operations Call. Both parties agree to periodically review the appropriateness of the frequency of the Open Issues Report and Operations Call. This report shall include the following information:
• | Outage report including; |
• | Ticket Number |
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission |

• | Number of Reported Issues and brief summary of the issues |
• | Date that each Reported Issue was opened |
• | Current Reported Issue status, and if resolved, the date of the resolution. |
• | Total number and description of unresolved issues. |
7. | Change Control Management (CCM) |
7.1. | Planned Maintenance by Motricity |
Motricity will ensure that any planned maintenance events under its Span of Control will be executed in a well-coordinated manner. Proper execution includes notification to AT&T by Motricity Carrier Care Support Services.
7.1.1. | Service Interruptions and Advanced Notification Requirements |
Motricity will provide AT&T with *** advance notice (via email) of all planned maintenance activities resulting or potentially resulting in service interruptions that will have a direct impact on the Services unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Motricity may assume that AT&T accepts the scheduled maintenance unless Motricity is advised via email within *** prior to the time of the planned event.
Unless otherwise arranged, Motricity will perform planned service interruptions from *** (the “AT&T Maintenance Window”) or as otherwise communicated between the two parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon AT&T’s sole discretion, the AT&T Maintenance Window may be extended to allow for maintenance, testing and/or validation of the Services that falls outside of the AT&T Maintenance Window
***
Please Note: *** Any Motricity unplanned system downtime resulting from a AT&T maintenance activity or otherwise required on account of AT&T’s action(s) or inaction(s), will not be counted against the Motricity SLA service measures from the time the requested maintenance activity was scheduled through the end of that month. The outage and/or service degradation must be directly attributable to the AT&T maintenance activities or otherwise required on account of AT&T’s action(s) or inaction(s).
7.1.2. | Communications Related to Planned Maintenance |
Motricity notification of planned maintenance will be communicated to AT&T through use of the Maintenance Request Worksheet shown in Appendix B. Motricity will provide official notification to AT&T of the start and end of a planned maintenance activity via email to the contacts identified in Section 4.1.1. During all planned maintenance activities, AT&T will establish a technical bridge for real time communication of status and progress, and Motricity will participate in that technical bridge unless otherwise agreed by both parties.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
32
7.1.3. | Canceling Planned Service Interruptions |
In the event of an AT&T emergency, AT&T may cancel the planned service interruption. Cancellation by AT&T may occur only if AT&T notifies Motricity within one (1) business day of the scheduled start time of the maintenance window. Any notification of cancellation must come directly from either an Operations Manager or AT&T Team Leader via voice notification by calling *** for local or International calls), with a follow-up email that should be sent to:
***
7.1.4. | Restrictions Associated with AT&T’s Cancellation |
In the event that AT&T cancels a maintenance activity planned by Motricity, as defined in Section 7.1.1 above, and the parties are unable to mutually agree on an alternative schedule, Motricity will not be held to the SLA service measures from the time the requested maintenance activity was scheduled through the end of that month. The outage and/or service degradation must be directly attributable to the postponed maintenance activities.
If an alternative schedule is agreed upon, but a failure occurs between the originally approved maintenance window and the rescheduled maintenance window, Motricity will not be held to the SLA services measures for that related outage and/or degradation.
7.1.5. | Planned Service Interruptions by AT&T |
AT&T will provide Motricity with advance notice (via email to ***) of all planned maintenance activities requiring support from Motricity. AT&T will make every effort to provide *** advance notice and will provide at a minimum *** advance notice of such activities. Such planned activities will exclude changes to Motricity software and/or configurations as these would require additional notice.
7.1.6. | Unplanned Service Interruptions by AT&T |
AT&T will notify Motricity of any unplanned service interruptions via email to Motricity Carrier Care (***) as quickly as is reasonably possible for AT&T.
Motricity will make all reasonable efforts to support AT&T in resolving the issue. Motricity may charge its standard professional services fees for such efforts.
7.1.7. | Splash Page During Maintenance |
The parties will cooperate to display a “splash page” during any planned or emergency maintenance that would otherwise result in a TCP timeout from a WAP Gateway and other mutually agreed required maintenance activities requiring customer requests to be blocked whenever reasonably technically feasible. Such a page will be presented to users of both the wired and wireless web access points, to inform them of temporary unavailability of the Services. Service of the splash page does not constitute availability, but is categorized as either planned or unscheduled service interruption (in accordance with Section 7.1). AT&T will provide the static WML/xHTML content to be displayed in the “splash page”.
7.2. | Capacity Planning Forecasts |
To ensure the highest level of service, Motricity requires AT&T at least twice per year to provide a forecast estimating the growth of their customer base (3, 6, 9 and 12 months into the future) and likely service usage. This will allow Motricity to plan the required resources to support the services for AT&T’s customers. If
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commisson. |
33
AT&T becomes aware of any material changes that would impact any forecast previously provided to Motricity (e.g., if AT&T has a special promotion plan in which a high number of new customers are anticipated), Motricity must be given 30 days advance notice of any change in the forecast to prepare for such additional capacity. If AT&T fails to provide Motricity with such notice, Motricity will not be held responsible for any failures to the performance objectives that could have been avoided had Motricity received such notice. A forecast provided pursuant to this section is only a forecast and is not a commitment on behalf of AT&T for the forecasted amount.
8. | Financial Consequences of Non-Performance |
8.1. | Financial Consequences for Failure to Meet Service Objectives |
The following sections define financial penalties for non-performance related to service objectives within the Motricity Span of Control.
These non-performance penalties set forth in this Section 8 will apply commencing on the date of commercial launch of the Services, unless the parties agree in writing to delay the application of non-performance of penalties for a particular Service or Services. The total financial penalties owed to AT&T under the Agreement will be subject to the SLA penalty cap set forth in Table 7 below. For purposes of clarity the SLA penalty cap under this Exhibit G-2 is not in addition to any other SLA exhibit.

EXHIBIT G-2 – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT – WEB BASED SERVICES
1. | General Information |
1.1. | Purpose |
The purpose of this document is to identify the levels of service that will be maintained by Motricity and to provide this information to operations personnel of both parties responsible for the monitoring and/or support of the Services.
1.2. | Scope |
This Service Level Agreement (SLA) describes the basic level of service that will be provided by Motricity in its support of the delivery of the Services to AT&T for WEB based applications (‘“WEB Services”). For purposes of clarity reference to Service in this SLA means the WEB Services.
This agreement describes the requirements for the following:
f) | support and maintenance of all Motricity and third-party hardware and software for the Services |
g) | 7x24x365 support and response requirements for support calls; |
h) | fixes, patches, and minor enhancements; |
i) | new software releases that contain fixes to defects in production feature functionality; and |
j) | on-site resources to support acceptance testing, trouble shooting, and system upgrades. |
This SLA also defines requirements for response (including email, telephone, remote, and on-site) and resolution timeframes related to Severity 1, Severity 2, and Severity 3 incidents, as well as non-performance financial penalties which will be owed to AT&T for failures to meet certain obligations defined herein.
This document also defines expectations relating to:
• | Motricity and AT&T Responsibilities with respect to the Services |
• | Service Performance Objectives |
• | Incident Management |
• | Incident Reporting Process |
• | Operational Reports |
• | Change Control Management |
This document should be used as a reference for AT&T’s Network Operations and its contracted affiliates and Motricity in support of the Services. It provides the framework for surveillance, isolation, analysis, and resolution of problems related to the Services.
As a means to ensure the highest level of accuracy and efficiency for both AT&T and Motricity, this SLA supersedes all existing Service Level Agreements relating to the Services.
For a complete list of the Services that are subject to this SLA, see the SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below.
1.3. | Out of Scope |
The following items are deemed to be outside the scope of this SLA; however, both parties will make a good faith effort to establish the following independently from this SLA.
50
***
1.4. | Definitions |
For purposes of this SLA, following definitions apply:
Service Area refers to the specific Service components for which financial consequences for non-performance apply under this SLA.
My MEdia Net Login Page is a Service Area that refers to the specific login web page for My MEdia Net.
My MEdia Net Home Page is a Service Area that refers to the specific web page that a User views after the My MEdia Net Login Page.
My MEdia Net Category Applications is a Service Area that refers to the MEdia Net Service applications provided to AT&T by Motricity and/or hosted by Motricity for AT&T since November 17, 2005.
“MEdia Net Active Links” or “Active Links” is a Service Area that means links which can be added to a User’s MEdia Net Home Page, can be either dynamic or static. Dynamic Active Links are those which contain both category links and dynamic content which is updated periodically throughout the day. Static Active Links are bookmarks which do not contain feed-driven dynamic content (also referred to as “Bubbles.”)
“WEB Application(s)” means the MEdia Net software applications that are accessed via a personal computer.
“WEB Application User Ratio” as used in Section 8 is calculated on a monthly basis by dividing the number of unique WEB Application Users by the number of unique MEdia Net Users that customize the like-for-like MEdia Net Service via the MEdia Net WAP Services.
2. | Responsibilities and Services |
This Section 2 describes Motricity’s support responsibilities with respect to the Services, and the corresponding responsibilities of AT&T.
2.1. | Motricity Responsibilities |
Motricity will provide day-to-day service operations, maintenance and administration in support of the Services that are within Motricity’s Span of Control, as described below.
Span of Control is defined as those areas of functionality that are under the direct control of Motricity. This includes functionality that is provided by external vendors or suppliers with whom Motricity has a contractual relationship, including feeds from providers of Motricity Sourced Content.
It is the intention of Motricity to expeditiously remedy incidents that have been identified either internally by Motricity or AT&T. Corrective action by Motricity assumes that the incident is within its Span of Control and AT&T has provided all relevant information, if available, to Motricity. See the section entitled Mandatory Information for Incident Reporting for required reporting information.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
51
Motricity will pursue the resolution of an incident with outside vendors provided Motricity has a contractual arrangement with the vendor. During the resolution period, Motricity will issue updates to AT&T pursuant to the severity of the incident, as described later in this document.
Any third party content provider contracted directly by AT&T is not a party to this agreement. Any loss of content from such providers is outside of Motricity’s Span of Control.
2.2. | Motricity Carrier Care |
The Motricity Carrier Care Support Services team is an interface between AT&T’s Level 2 Support Group (AT&T’s non-customer facing group) and Motricity for support of services provided by Motricity. This arrangement provides AT&T with access to a single point of contact for reporting incidents, receiving updates and escalation. Table 1 provides the Motricity Carrier Care hours of operation and contact information. A complete list of all contacts is also shown in Appendix A. These contacts are to be contacted per the escalation procedures outlined in Section 3.

Table 1, Motricity Carrier Care Contact Information
2.2.1. | Motricity Support Services |
The following list identifies services that are offered by Motricity Support Services to AT&T:
• | Telephone and email support for incident resolution |
• | Advisory Bulletins |
• | Notification of planned maintenance activities |
• | Post Mortem Reports for Severity 1 (SEV1) and recurring incidents classified as Severity 2 (Sev2) including a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) upon request. *** |
2.2.2. | PC Pages Support |
As applicable, the PC Pages related Services will operate on browsers that are HTML 4.0 Compliant, specifically, Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0 and above. Motricity will make commercially reasonable efforts to support other browsers that demonstrate significant market presence.
2.3. | AT&T Responsibilities |
AT&T will provide support for Incident Management as detailed in Section 4.
3. | Service Performance Objectives |
3.1 | Service Availability |
Service Availability (SA) is defined as the amount of time the Service is up excluding planned Maintenance and AT&T caused outages, computed as:
***
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
52
The above calculations allow a weighting for partial outages and degraded service, such that only the fraction of Users denied service contributes to negative Service Availability.
For purposes of clarity where the Service is “available” but in a cached state it is considered inoperable and the SLA non-performance penalties will be applicable as set forth herein.
3.1.1 | Service Availability Target |
Motricity shall provide an overall system service availability of *** for all Services listed in the SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below, measured at no less than the frequency shown in Appendix D and reported at monthly intervals as described in Section 6.2 below. This measurement excludes downtimes caused by AT&T and service interruptions due to planned maintenance approved in advance by AT&T.
3.2 | Service Latency |
User requests for Services shall be fulfilled in accordance with Table 2 below for each calendar month. This includes delivery of all bytes of the response (content plus protocol overhead) that Motricity controls (i.e. service requests and subsequent requests for which the browser’s URL target is hosted by Motricity).
Motricity will achieve the latency targets set forth in Table 2 below on the schedule set forth in Table 2. The parties agree to review such latency targets from time to time during the Term and to assess whether to adjust the latency. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, these are the targets for penalties as set forth in Section 8.3.
Table 2, Latency Target Ramp
*** |
These requirements are specific to the portion of end to end Latency incurred within the Motricity’s Span of Control and will be measured from the secure network nearest the Motricity border router. The design of latency monitoring infrastructure will ensure appropriate components of the request and response are adequately measured. The implementation of latency monitoring infrastructure will include the deployment of a separate and specific server(s) for the purpose of monitoring and fault management. The latency introduced by the GPRS network, the WAP Gateway and other elements of the AT&T Network are excluded from the latency measurements described above.
3.3 | Legacy Components Supporting MEdia Net |
The following Legacy Services will not be held to the Service Availability as noted above but will meet the legacy Service Availability of *** basis as set forth below:
***
Service Availability (SA) is defined as the amount of time the service is up excluding planned Maintenance and AT&T caused outages, computed as:
***
The above calculations allow a weighting for partial outages and degraded service, such that only the fraction of Users denied service contributes to negative Service Availability.

3.5 | Third-Party Content Providers |
Motricity will be responsible for the performance, service availability and service latency of all providers of Motricity Sourced Content with whom Motricity has a contract. Where such content provider contracts exist, Motricity will perform appropriate alarming, monitoring and fault management to ensure that performance of these providers fully supports the service objectives defined in this SLA. Motricity will also identify those content providers to AT&T and provide notification of changes to such contractual relationships no less than 30 days in advance of such changes becoming effective.
Expectations for processing of third party content feeds as set forth in Appendix D are as follows: For streaming content (sports scores and stock quotes) and breaking news, all received content must be processed and published a maximum of *** For all other content feeds that are updated at least once a day, content must be processed and published within *** For all other content feeds (those updated less frequently than once per day), the content must be processed and published as soon as possible, and will at all times display content for the current day.
Motricity will also provide monthly reporting of service interruptions, availability measures and other data for contracted providers of Motricity Sourced Content in accordance with Section 6.
In addition, Motricity will be responsible for all degradations and service impacting issues affecting the Services that are caused by providers of Motricity Sourced Content from a Motricity SLA performance perspective.
4. | Incident Management |
4.1. | Incident Resolution Responsibilities |
Incident resolution requires teamwork between Motricity and AT&T. A key element in this teamwork approach is AT&T’s understanding of the User service(s) offered by Motricity.
All AT&T identified incidents concerning failures of the Services that cannot be solved by AT&T representatives will be reported to Motricity Carrier Care Support Services, pursuant to the Reporting Process procedures outlined below. AT&T will assign a Severity Level per Table 4. If Motricity disagrees with the Severity assignment, both parties will negotiate in good faith after the resolution of the incident but all restoration will proceed based upon AT&T’s initial Severity assignment.
Any reported incident that is caused by a failure that is outside Motricity’s Span of Control and not directly related to its delivery of a subscriber service will be returned to AT&T with an appropriate explanation. Should Motricity determine that an incident being worked by Motricity Carrier Care Support Services is within AT&T’s control, the incident will be closed and returned to AT&T for proper resolution.
4.1.1. | AT&T Contact Information |
In order for Motricity Carrier Care to effectively resolve Incidents, it is necessary for Motricity to have an accurate list of AT&T’s designated key personnel. This information will be exchanged between the two parties and updated as changes warrant. Appendix A shows the type of contact information required, showing the current contacts at the Effective Date. This data will be maintained and updated by the two parties outside of this SLA document.

4.1.5. | Escalation Procedures |
4.1.5.1. | Motricity Internal Escalation |
Escalation procedures are in place at Motricity to manage the resolution of incidents when they occur. If a Severity 1 (Sev1) incident is not resolved within *** of when Motricity was made aware of the problem, the incident will be escalated within Motricity to the dedicated Manager of Service Operations, who will drive escalation and resolution of the incident within Motricity’s Operations and Engineering groups, and ensure that AT&T is kept updated with the incident resolution process. The appropriate Business Development person will also be informed of the occurrence and status of any Sev1 incident.
If the Sev1 incident has not been resolved by the Motricity & AT&T NOC teams *** the Director of Commercial Operations will become directly involved with driving the incident to resolution and communicating with the appropriate AT&T personnel. The status of the incident will also be communicated to senior management within Motricity.
4.1.5.2. | AT&T Escalation to Motricity |
In the event that Motricity does not respond to AT&T within the times shown in Table 4, AT&T can request that the incident be escalated to the next level, based on the contact information shared between the two companies (see Appendix A for a list of names that are current as of time of the Effective Date). All escalation requests must be initiated through the 7x24 contact information provided in Table 1, and not to the individual directly. Only in the event that the 7x24 representative does not escalate within *** should the appropriate Motricity individual be contacted directly. AT&T must verify that escalation has not taken place prior to calling any Motricity employee directly. For the purposes of clarification, Table 6 provides escalation timelines for Severity 1 and 2 incidents, based on time after the incident was reported. Severity 3 incidents seldom require escalation but in the event that AT&T believes that Motricity is not addressing the incident in a timely manner, the parties can mutually agree to elevate the priority of the incident, and treat it as a Severity 2 incident.

Table 6, Escalation Timetable
4.1.5.3. | Additional Escalation Information |
Motricity and AT&T will ensure that any additional processes that are required to ensure the smooth escalation of incidents within each organization are clearly communicated to one another in writing, so that the escalation processes within each organization and between the two organizations are clearly understood by both parties.
Motricity and AT&T will exchange the names and contact information of the personnel who need to be kept informed of progress during the escalation process in Appendix A. Both parties are responsible for ensuring that the contact information is updated and exchanged when circumstances warrant. This information will not be updated and kept current as part of this SLA, but will need to be maintained separately by the two parties outside of this document.
5. | Incident Reporting Process |
5.1. | Communicating Incidents |
AT&T will communicate incidents to Motricity in the following manner:
• | Phone call to Motricity SOC or sends a trouble ticket to Motricity via email using the email address of ***. |
• | Motricity sets the initial classification of their internal trouble ticket according to the AT&T notification (see “Mandatory Information” below), unless otherwise agreed between Motricity and AT&T. |
• | Motricity will generate a single response for each trouble ticket that is received from AT&T, to confirm receipt of the incident report. |
5.1.1. | Mandatory Information for Incident Reporting |
For each AT&T originated incident, AT&T will make every effort to provide as much information to Motricity that will facilitate timely problem determination and resolution. Upon notification of the incidents, the required information will be verified. When Motricity has received sufficient information, Motricity will begin resolving the incident and provide feedback to AT&T as described above in Section 5.1 Communicating Incidents.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |

• | Other comments to provide additional information as needed. |
• | All communications that include references to time should be expressed using a 24-hour clock format and should always utilize and reference PST as the standard time zone. |
6. | Motricity Reports |
6.1. | Post Mortem Reports |
The purpose of the Post-Mortem Report is to outline the known information regarding the incident and possible root causes and to summarize the incident resolution timeline. If known, it will also identify corrective actions to prevent its reoccurrence. Motricity will create a Post-Mortem Report and provide such report to AT&T per Section 2.2.1.
6.2. | Service Level Reporting |
Each month, Motricity will provide AT&T with a “Monthly Service Level Report” indicating the service performance for the Services for the previous month (see SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below for detailed list of Services associated with this SLA). This report will contain performance reporting for the service performance objectives listed in Appendix D and a summary of the weekly incident response reports described in Section 6.3 for such month.
Motricity shall supply the Monthly Service Level Report no later than the tenth business day of the month following the immediately preceding month. It is agreed that Motricity will work towards publishing the Monthly Service Level Report on the sixth business day starting 6 months from the initial launch of Services.
The Monthly Service Level Report shall include, among other things, the following information related to service availability for the Services listed in Appendix D:
• | Total minutes in the current month |

• | Service levels achieved for Users of the PC Pages and Users of the Phone Pages as listed in Section 3.3 above. |
6.3. | Open Issues List Reporting |
Motricity shall provide a weekly Open Issues Report, to be reviewed jointly with AT&T during the weekly Operations Call. Both parties agree to periodically review the appropriateness of the frequency of the Open Issues Report and Operations Call. This report shall include the following information:
• | Outage report including; |
• | Ticket Number |
• | Start time |
• | End time |
• | Resolution |
• | Severity level |
• | Impact |
• | Number of Reported Issues and brief summary of the issues |
• | Date that each Reported Issue was opened |
• | Current Reported Issue status, and if resolved, the date of the resolution. |
• | Total number and description of unresolved issues. |
7. | Change Control Management (CCM) |
7.1. | Planned Maintenance by Motricity |
Motricity will ensure that any planned maintenance events under its Span of Control will be executed in a well-coordinated manner. Proper execution includes notification to AT&T by Motricity Carrier Care Support Services.
7.1.1. | Service Interruptions and Advanced Notification Requirements |
Motricity will provide AT&T with *** advance notice (via email) of all planned maintenance activities resulting or potentially resulting in service interruptions that will have a direct impact on the Services unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Motricity may assume that AT&T accepts the scheduled maintenance unless Motricity is advised via email within *** prior to the time of the planned event.
Unless otherwise arranged, Motricity will perform planned service interruptions *** (the “AT&T Maintenance Window”) or as otherwise communicated between the two parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon AT&T’s sole discretion, the AT&T Maintenance Window may be extended to allow for maintenance, testing and/or validation of the Services that falls outside of the AT&T Maintenance Window.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
62
***
Please Note: *** Any Motricity unplanned system downtime resulting from a AT&T maintenance activity or otherwise required on account of AT&T’s action(s) or inaction(s), will not be counted against the Motricity SLA service measures from the time the requested maintenance activity was scheduled through the end of that month. The outage and/or service degradation must be directly attributable to the AT&T maintenance activities or otherwise required on account of AT&T’s action(s) or inaction(s).
7.1.2. | Communications Related to Planned Maintenance |
Motricity notification of planned maintenance will be communicated to AT&T through use of the Maintenance Request Worksheet shown in Appendix B. Motricity will provide official notification to AT&T of the start and end of a planned maintenance activity via email to the contacts identified in Section 4.1.1. During all planned maintenance activities, AT&T will establish a technical bridge for real time communication of status and progress, and Motricity will participate in that technical bridge unless otherwise agreed by both parties.
7.1.3. | Canceling Planned Service Interruptions |
In the event of an AT&T emergency, AT&T may cancel the planned service interruption. Cancellation by AT&T may occur only if AT&T notifies Motricity within one (1) business day of the scheduled start time of the maintenance window. Any notification of cancellation must come directly from either an Operations Manager or AT&T Team Leader via voice notification by calling *** for local or International calls), with a follow-up email that should be sent to:
***
7.1.4. | Restrictions Associated with AT&T’s Cancellation |
In the event that AT&T cancels a maintenance activity planned by Motricity, as defined in Section 7.1.1 above, and the parties are unable to mutually agree on an alternative schedule, Motricity will not be held to the SLA service measures from the time the requested maintenance activity was scheduled through the end of that month. The outage and/or service degradation must be directly attributable to the postponed maintenance activities.
If an alternative schedule is agreed upon, but a failure occurs between the originally approved maintenance window and the rescheduled maintenance window, Motricity will not be held to the SLA services measures for that related outage and/or degradation.
7.1.5. | Planned Service Interruptions by AT&T |
AT&T will provide Motricity with advance notice (via email to ***) of all planned maintenance activities requiring support from Motricity. AT&T will make every effort to provide *** advance notice and will provide at a minimum *** advance notice of such activities. Such planned activities will exclude changes to Motricity software and/or configurations as these would require additional notice.
7.1.6. | Unplanned Service Interruptions by AT&T |
AT&T will notify Motricity of any unplanned service interruptions via email to Motricity Carrier Care (***) as quickly as is reasonably possible for AT&T.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
63
Motricity will make all reasonable efforts to support AT&T in resolving the issue. Motricity may charge its standard professional services fees for such efforts.
7.1.7. | Splash Page During Maintenance |
The parties will cooperate to display a “splash page” during any planned or emergency maintenance that would otherwise result in a TCP timeout from a WAP Gateway and other mutually agreed required maintenance activities requiring customer requests to be blocked whenever reasonably technically feasible. Such a page will be presented to users of both the wired and wireless web access points, to inform them of temporary unavailability of the Services. Service of the splash page does not constitute availability, but is categorized as either planned or unscheduled service interruption (in accordance with Section 7.1). AT&T will provide the static WML/xHTML content to be displayed in the “splash page”.
7.2. | Capacity Planning Forecasts |
To ensure the highest level of service, Motricity requires AT&T at least twice per year to provide a forecast estimating the growth of their customer base (3, 6, 9 and 12 months into the future) and likely service usage. This will allow Motricity to plan the required resources to support the services for AT&T’s customers. If AT&T becomes aware of any material changes that would impact any forecast previously provided to Motricity (e.g., if AT&T has a special promotion plan in which a high number of new customers are anticipated), Motricity must be given 30 days advance notice of any change in the forecast to prepare for such additional capacity. If AT&T fails to provide Motricity with such notice, Motricity will not be held responsible for any failures to the performance objectives that could have been avoided had Motricity received such notice. A forecast provided pursuant to this section is only a forecast and is not a commitment on behalf of AT&T for the forecasted amount.
8. | Financial Consequences of Non-Performance |
8.1. | Financial Consequences for Failure to Meet Service Objectives |
The following sections define financial penalties for non-performance related to service objectives within the Motricity Span of Control.
These non-performance penalties set forth in this Section 8 will apply commencing on the date of commercial launch of the Services, unless the parties agree in writing to delay the application of non-performance of penalties for a particular Service or Services. The total financial penalties owed to AT&T under the Agreement will be subject to the SLA penalty cap set forth in Table 7 of Exhibit G-1. For purposes of clarity the SLA penalty cap under this Exhibit G-2 is not in addition to any other SLA exhibit.
For any WEB Services that do not meet the monthly Service objectives set forth within this SLA, Motricity will calculate the aggregate WEB Application User Ratio for the affected WEB Applications to determine the SLA penalty cap to be applied for the month in which the Service objectives were not met.

EXHIBIT I - WORK REQUEST PROCESS
Work Request Control Process
by and between
AT&T and Motricity
October 2008
Prepared by AT&T
1. | Introduction |
AT&T and Motricity are implementing a work request control process that is fast and efficient to update /modify existing Services solely for those items listed below (“Work”):
• | The purchase and/or installation of hardware (and related software) that Motricity purchase on behalf of AT&T in providing its Services to AT&T; |
• | Ad-hoc maintenance; and |
• | The creation of reports. |
76
The goal of the process is to provide the opportunity for teams to submit Work Requests to and to ensure such Work proposals are given the appropriate amount of analysis and review to ensure there are no impacts to current Services, costs and timeframes are mutually agreed upon. Lastly, the process will allow AT&T and Motricity to both approve any and all Work Requests.
2. | Scope of the Work Request Process |
a. | The work request process will be used to manage Work Requests and to approve changes that may impact either the scope, schedule, or cost of existing projects or Services for authorized Work. |
b. | Custom Development |
Any custom development, professional services or requests for new Services that involve determination of work efforts are to be handled under the Services Agreement.
Project/Work Proposal |
Work Control Effective Date | |
3. | Work Request Process |
a. | AT&T Submits a Work Request |
An AT&T team member identifies the need to update, change or modify an existing Service for Work contemplated under the Agreement. The team member fills out a Work Request form and submits it to the AT&T Project Manager (“PM”), or his/her designee. Based on the AT&T PMs’ assessment of the importance of the request, and his/her authorization level to approve the Work Request, the AT&T PM will seek additional approval from AT&T’s upper management (Director level or higher) as appropriate and consistent with the AT&T schedule of authorization.
Once approved by the AT&T PM, the Work Request is sent to the Motricity PM. Within no more than three business days, Motricity will assess the feasibility of the Work Request in terms of technical risk, cost, and schedule impacts. Once the assessment is complete, Motricity will respond back to AT&T with an approval, disapproval or request for clarification. Any disapproval of Work Requests will need to be explained within the Work Request Form to be returned to AT&T’s PM.
Upon receipt of an approved Work Request Form from Motricity, AT&T’s PM will obtain any further internal approvals from AT&T’s upper management the Work Request will be signed and become effective immediately upon the execution of a Work Order by AT&T and Motricity.
b. | Motricity Submits a Work Request |
A Motricity team member identifies the need to update, change or modify an existing Service for Work contemplated under the Agreement. The team member fills out a Work Request form and submits it to the Motricity Project Manager (“PM”), or his/her designee. Based on the Motricity PMs’ assessment of the importance of the request, and his/her authorization level to approve the Work Request, the Motricity PM will seek additional approval from Motricity upper management (Director level or higher) as appropriate and consistent with the Motricity schedule of authorization.
77
Once approved by the Motricity PM, the Work Request is sent to the AT&T PM. Within no more than three business days, AT&T will assess the feasibility of the Work Request in terms of technical risk, cost, and schedule impacts. Once the assessment is complete, AT&T will respond back to Motricity with an approval, disapproval or request for clarification. Any disapproval of Work Requests will need to be explained within the Work Request Form to be returned to Motricity’s PM.
Upon receipt of an approved Work Request Form from AT&T, Motricity’s PM will obtain any further internal approvals from Motricity’s upper management, the Work Request and will be signed and become effective immediately upon the execution of a Work Order by AT&T and Motricity.
4. | Acceptance Process |
AT&T shall have the right to review Services and/or Products to determine whether the Services and/or Products conform to the requirements set forth in the respective Work Order and to either: (i) reject the Services/Products if it fails to conform to the requirements set forth in the respective Work Order or (ii) to provide its Acceptance (in whole or in part) if there are no Service Defects. If AT&T rejects the Services and/or Products, Motricity shall, at AT&T’s request, promptly correct all such Service Defects and, thereafter, AT&T shall again have the opportunity to review the Service and/or Products. If Motricity is not able to correct all Service Defects in the Services and/or Products within thirty (30) days following receipt of AT&T rejection, AT&T shall have the right to terminate the affected Work Order, in whole or in part, which termination shall be deemed due to Motricity’s default. In the event of any such termination, Motricity shall return all payments previously made to Motricity under this Agreement for the affected Work Order and AT&T shall not be subject to any cancellation charges.

AT&T PRIVACY POLICY
(Effective date: October 21, 2006)
AT&T has a long-standing policy of protecting customer privacy.
We believe that you should know what information we collect from you, as well as how that information is used, disclosed, and protected. We have created this policy statement (the “Policy”) to explain our privacy practices and policies.
We will not sell or disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties without your consent except as otherwise provided in this Policy. We may use information about who you are, where and when you browse on the Web, where your wireless device is located, and how you use our network to provide you better service and enrich your user experience when you sign up or use any of our products or services.
AT&T may make available shorter or machine-readable versions of this Privacy Policy. These additional policies are intended only as summaries of this complete Privacy Policy. This Policy applies to customers who purchase and use our services and products in the United States. Collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information may be subject to different regulation outside the United States.
AT&T will revise and update this Policy as it deems appropriate, including, for example, if our practices change or if changes in the law so require. You should refer back to this page for the latest information.
QUICK PRIVACY LINKS
The following brief summaries outline our Policy and then link to further detail. We also provide you the means to communicate with us if you have any questions about this Policy. This Policy also addresses what we do with information about your device usage, the services you buy from us, and who you call.
Does AT&T Collect Personal Information About Me?
Yes, AT&T collects personal information about you so that we can deliver products or services you request.
232
This happens automatically when you interact with us, such as when you log into a service. Sometimes, AT&T buys commercially available marketing and sales information from third parties so we can better serve you.
Does AT&T Collect Information About Children Under the Age of 13?
If we make available offers and products online where a child informs us that he or she is under the age of 13, we will ask a parent to confirm his/her consent in advance of further collection, use or disclosure of personal information from that child.
How Does AT&T Use Personal Information?
We use personal information for billing and collection purposes, to provide services or complete transactions you have requested, and to anticipate and resolve problems with your services. We may also use this information to create and inform you of products or services from AT&T or others that may better meet your needs.
When Does AT&T Disclose Personal Information?
We do not sell personal information to unaffiliated third parties. We will disclose personal information to third parties to complete a transaction you have requested, as part of the terms and conditions for a particular service, to collect on an account, or when we otherwise have your consent to do so. We also may disclose personal information to third parties to protect the rights and property of the company or its subscribers.
What Happens to Information About My Telephone Usage and Who I Call?
Under federal law, you have a right, and we have a duty, to protect the confidentiality of information about your device usage, the services you buy from us, who you call, and the location of your device on our network when you make a voice call.
233
Does AT&T Use Cookies?
Yes. AT&T uses cookies for a variety of reasons, including improving your shopping or browsing experience. In addition, cookies help us personalize the site experience for you.
Does AT&T Use Web Beacons?
Yes. AT&T uses Web beacons, also known as Web bugs, on our sites so that we can identify you and deliver you the services you request. However, AT&T does not permit third parties to use Web beacons linked to personal information on our site.
Does AT&T Place Advertising on Other Web Sites?
AT&T currently uses third-party advertising companies to place our ads on the Internet, and cookie and Web beacon technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of those ads. You should know that the use of such cookies is subject to the third parties’ privacy policies, and not the policy of AT&T.
What About Presence, Location, and Tracking Information?
Our network knows the general location of your phone whenever it is turned on. When we offer you optional services that require use or disclosure of this information, the terms and conditions for the specific service offering explain how the location information will be used. We also may provide your network location to emergency service providers if you place a 911 call.
234
Can I Choose Not to Receive Marketing Messages on My Wireless Device from Third Parties?
AT&T has implemented technology to reduce unsolicited bulk short text messages but is unable to filter all marketing messages that you receive on your wireless device from third parties.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information.
What Can I Do to Protect My Personal Information?
An important part of ensuring the security of your personal information is your own efforts to protect against unauthorized access to your wireless device and SIM card. Before discarding your device or trading it in, be sure you remove all your personal information from the device.
How can I Review Personal Information in my Account for Accuracy?
You can review the accuracy of the personal information in your account online (go to My Account on this Web site) or by contacting Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000.
Will This Policy Be Updated?
AT&T expects to update this Policy periodically. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes to the Policy.
To Whom Should I Direct Privacy Questions or Concerns?
You have several ways to contact us about questions of this Policy and about your services.
235
AT&T PRIVACY POLICY
We have created the AT&T Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) to explain our privacy practices. When you use any AT&T product or service, you should understand when and how personal information is collected, used, disclosed and protected.
We will not sell or disclose information to unaffiliated third parties without your consent except as otherwise provided in this Policy. We may use information about who you are, where and when you browse on the Web, where your wireless device is located, and how you use our network to provide you better service and enrich your user experience when you sign up or use any of our products or services.
AT&T will revise and update this Policy if our practices change or if changes in the law so require.
Information Collected About You
We collect a variety of personal information about users of our products or services. Personal information is information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity, such as a name, address, telephone number, email address, or information about activities directly linked to that person.
Our definition of personal information does not include “aggregate” information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of services or customers from which individual customer identities have been removed. For example, we could prepare a report that indicates that a certain number of our customers always use their wireless phones at a certain time of day at a specific location. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and customer needs so that we can better consider new services or tailor existing services to customer desires. The aggregate data also might be purchased by or shared with a third party, for example, one interested in locating a business in a particular part of town.
Here are the types of personal and other information we collect. You should refer to the rest of this Policy to see how we use, disclose, and protect that information:
• | Information You Give Us |
236
We collect information you give us when you purchase a AT&T product or use services. For example, you may provide us a billing address and credit information, including your social security number or business identifier, when signing up for service or perhaps purchasing a product through our online store. You might not have thought about it this way, but the numbers dialed from your wireless phone to make a call are an example of information you give us and that we collect and use so we can xxxx you appropriately and investigate fraudulent usage.
• | Automatically Collected Information |
We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, when you visit an AT&T Web site, our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser you use. When you browse the wireless web, our systems log the Web sites you visit. Similarly, all wireless communications systems know when your phone is turned on and approximately where the device is physically located—that’s how calls or messages are delivered to you in real time.
• | Information from Other Sources |
We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with your account information. For example, we may receive credit information for purposes of initiating service. We also may use commercially available demographic and marketing information from third parties to help us better serve you or inform you about products or services that we think will be of interest to you. We sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily. And, we often receive information from the dealer from whom you purchase your wireless phone or device prior to initiating service with us.
We also may purchase email lists from third parties for advertising purposes. We only purchase lists of individuals who have allowed third-party use of their email address for marketing purposes. If you have previously requested to participate in an email advertising program, the information we receive may include your name, information on previous transactions, or any other personal information you have provided.
AT&T recognizes that parents often purchase our products and services for family use, including for use by minors. Any information collected from such usage will appear to be the personal information of the actual subscriber to the service, and will be treated as such under this Policy. If we make available offers and products online where a child informs us that he or she is under the age of 13, we will ask a parent to confirm his/her consent in advance of further collection, use or disclosure of personal information from that child.
237
In a Business Agreement, our customer is a business or other entity purchasing service for employees or other authorized users. If you receive certain benefits through a business or government customer’s agreement with us, this Policy will generally govern your personal information. However, if you receive service where a business or government entity pays AT&T for your account or is otherwise liable to AT&T for the charges (for example, as a guarantor if you fail to pay), we may share your account information with that entity. If you receive certain benefits tied to a Business Agreement, but you are liable for your own charges, then we may share enough account information with that entity to verify your continuing eligibility for those benefits. Please contact AT&T if you have any questions about who is the liable party on your xxxx.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
If we make available offers and products online where a child informs us that he or she is under the age of 13, we will ask a parent to confirm his/her consent in advance of further collection, use or disclosure of personal information from that child. You should be aware, however, that wireless devices and services purchased for family use may be used by minors without the knowledge of AT&T. If that happens, any information collected from the usage will appear to be the personal information of the actual adult subscriber and treated as such under this Policy.
Use of Personal Information
• | Internal Use. |
In general, we use personal information to serve our customers, to enhance and extend our customer relationship, and to enable our customers to take maximum advantage of products and services we think they would enjoy. For example, by understanding how you use our Web site, we are able to customize and personalize your experience. More specifically, we use personal information for billing purposes, to provide services or complete transactions you have requested, to anticipate and resolve problems with your services, and to create and inform you of products or services from AT&T or others that better meet your needs.
AT&T uses email, short text messages, telemarketing, and direct mail to inform you about products or services we think will interest you. You can modify your preferences on receiving these types of communications:
• | If you are currently a AT&T customer and wish to change your preferences on receiving these types of communications, you can do one of the following to tell us your preferences: |
• | Complete an online form |
238
• | Visit the “My Profile” page, if you manage your account online. |
• | Call Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000. |
• | If you are not a current customer of AT&T and wish to opt out of receiving marketing communications, you can complete an online form to tell us your preferences. |
While you may choose not to receive marketing information from us, you will continue to receive invoices, customer service-related notifications, and other similar information from us electronically or otherwise.
• | Third-Party Use. |
You should review the following section to understand when AT&T discloses personal information to third parties.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Information about our customers is one of our most important business assets, and therefore we strive to protect it and keep it confidential. We do not sell personal information to third parties without your consent. When and what types of information AT&T discloses depends on the service and in some cases the choices you have made.
AT&T will not disclose personal information other than in accordance with this Policy. In general, that means that you must consent to the disclosure in advance. Depending on the service, we may obtain your consent in a number of ways, including:
• | In writing; |
• | Verbally; |
• | Online by clicking a button; |
• | Through the use of a dialing string or button on a wireless device or handset; or |
• | At the time of initiation of a particular service offering, when your consent is part of the required terms and conditions to use that service. |
239
For example, your consent to disclose personal information can be implied simply by the nature of your request, such as when you ask us to deliver an email or short message to another person. Your return address is disclosed as part of the service and your consent to do so is implied by your use of the service. To determine how personal information may be disclosed as part of a particular service, you should review the terms and conditions of use for that service.
We share personal information with third parties as necessary to complete a transaction, perform a service on our behalf (such as enhancing our ability to serve you better), or perform a service that you have requested. When the third party acts solely on our behalf, AT&T does not allow them to use your information for other purposes. For example, our vendors process and print your billing statement on our behalf. They can only use the personal information we give them to produce the billing statement. When we write off an account for non-payment, AT&T sometimes discloses personal information about the account to third parties such as credit bureaus. Credit bureaus may use the personal information to update their records. AT&T does not currently disclose wireless numbers in AT&T listings or published directories. If we do so in the future, you will be able to choose whether your number is listed.
Aside from our services, however, you may also want to take advantage of services and products offered by other companies utilizing our wireless service. In those cases, you will be providing information to those companies, and information about you received by those third parties will be governed by their privacy policies, not this Policy. For example, if you are roaming on the network of another carrier, information about your usage and the numbers you dial will be available to the carrier providing the service. Also, as another example, if you purchase something using our mobile Internet service, you will be disclosing personal information directly to the company facilitating the transaction, a merchant bank and the merchant. Finally, if you bought your wireless device from a third party retailer or dealer, both they and AT&T will have personal information as a result of the transaction and your ongoing service with AT&T. Whenever third parties have a role in any such transaction, you should review their privacy policies as well.
From time to time you may be able to participate in contests, giveaways, or other similar promotions we sponsor. Except as explained otherwise in the rules for a particular contest, giveaway, or promotion, any personal information you provide will be used in accordance with this Policy.
In addition, from time to time you may be able to participate in our surveys to help us improve our offerings and services. Except as explained otherwise in the survey, any personal information so collected will be used for our internal purposes.
240
Under federal law, you have a right, and we have a duty, to protect the confidentiality of information about your telephone usage, the services you buy from us, who you call, and the location of your device on our network when you make a voice call. This information is sometimes referred to as “Customer Proprietary Network Information,” or “CPNI.” We share CPNI and other personal information about you with affiliates of AT&T and BellSouth Corporation (the parent companies of AT&T) that provide telecommunications services to which you also subscribe. Before sharing CPNI in any other way, we will first notify you of your rights under the law, describe how we intend to use the CPNI, and give you an opportunity to opt out of such usage (or, when required by law, to opt in).
Business Transfers:
Information about our users, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, as well as in the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company.
Protection of AT&T and Others:
We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or in good faith reliance on legal process (e.g., court orders, subpoenas, E911 information, etc.); enforce or apply our customer agreements; initiate, render, bill, and collect for services; protect our rights or property, or protect users of those services and other carriers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, or subscription to, such services; facilitate or verify the appropriate calculation of taxes, fees, or other obligations due to a local, state, or federal government; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications, or justifies disclosure of records, to a governmental entity without delay.
AT&T Use of Cookies
Cookies are small files placed on your computer’s hard drive by a Web site when you visit. These files identify your computer and record your preferences and other data about your visit so that when you return to the site, the site knows who you are and can personalize your visit. For example, cookies enable a Web site shopping cart to function so that you only have to check out once. Consequently, cookies are often tied to the use of personally identifiable information while using our site, and some functionality may be lost if you choose not to accept the use of cookies.
241
In general, we use cookies to collect information so that we can determine how to improve our site by seeing which areas, features and products are most popular; to personalize the site and make recommendations based on products you have liked in the past as well as to improve the site experience; and to complete transactions you have requested. Advertisers that serve ads on our site may also use their own cookies. Such outside cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the entities placing the ads, and are not subject to this Policy.
We also use a session-based cookie that maintains a user’s session for continuity of navigation while viewing the site. After closing the browser the session cookie simply terminates.
With wireless Internet service, cookies are also used by our suppliers and third-party vendors to facilitate the various services and information offered. Depending on the phone or device being used, cookies may be stored locally on the phone or device, or on servers operated by AT&T. This Internet cookie-like functionality is in place for the same reasons and designed for the same purposes as cookies placed on your computer when interacting with Internet Web sites. Our suppliers and vendors will only use this information to provision the service, but each site you visit while using the wireless Internet service is controlled by a separate company and their individual privacy policies will govern information they receive automatically from the cookie or information you voluntarily provide.
AT&T Use of Web Beacons
A Web beacon, also known as a Web bug, is a small, graphic image on a Web page, Web-based document or in an email message that is designed to allow the site owner or a third party to monitor the address and other information of the computer viewing the item. Web beacons are often invisible to the user because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the Web page, document, or email message. Web beacons are represented as HTML IMG tags in the Web page; users can click on “view profiles” of the Web page to see whether the page is using a Web beacon. Web beacons collect the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to, the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from, and the time it was viewed. Web beacons can also be linked to personal information.
AT&T does not place Web beacons that link to personal information on other sites, nor does it permit third parties, other than those working on our behalf, to place them on our site. AT&T does use Web beacons itself and may link a particular beacon to personal information. For example, we may use a beacon to ensure a user can flip between technical assistance, customer service and our online store and still be recognized as our customer.
242
AT&T Placement of Advertising on Other Web Sites
AT&T may use third-party ad serving companies to place advertisements about our products and services on other Web sites. These companies may use cookies and other technology such as Web beacons or tagging to measure the effectiveness of our ads. To measure advertising effectiveness and offer selective ad content, the ad serving companies may use anonymous information about your visits to our and other Web sites. But the ad serving companies use an anonymous number to identify you, NOT your name, address, phone number, email address, or anything that personally identifies you. The use of such cookies is subject to the ad serving company’s privacy policy, not the Policy of AT&T. If you would like more information about these companies we use, their privacy practices, or to learn your choices about not having this non-personal information used to serve ads to you, see our AT&T Ad Serving Companies.
AT&T Advertising Companies
This list contains a link to the privacy policies for the ad-serving companies used to place ads on 3rd party sites. AT&T will revise or update this as we change existing or add new ad-serving companies.

Presence, Location, and Tracking
To make wireless communications possible, the network knows the general location of your phone or wireless device whenever it is turned on. Your wireless device sends out a periodic signal to the nearest radio tower/cell site so that the network will know where to route an incoming communication and how to properly xxxx for the service. This is necessary to make wireless communications possible.
243
If you dial 911 for emergency services, we may provide your network location to a public safety answering point, emergency medical service provider or emergency dispatch provider, public safety, fire service, or law enforcement official, or hospital emergency or trauma care facility. The law also permits us to disclose the location of a device on our network without a user’s consent (1) to a user’s legal guardian or members of a user’s immediate family in an emergency situation that involves the risk of death or serious physical harm, (2) to database management services or information providers solely to assist in delivering emergency services, or (3) to a governmental entity if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires or justifies disclosure of a device’s location on the network without delay. Legally required upgrades will allow us to provide a location more precise than cell site location.
In addition, we offer optional services on our GSM/GPRS network that make use of your network location. Please review the terms and conditions for each service for additional information about how the location information will be used. The location used for these services is separate from the network location information when you make a voice call.
Your wireless Internet service may also be personalized using your ZIP code or other location identifiers. We use this information to serve you relevant content, and we treat the information like any other personal information under this Policy. This service does not use the network location technology described in this section.
Receipt of Marketing Messages on My Wireless Device from Third Parties
You should be aware that not all advertisements appearing on or delivered to your mobile phone or device are authorized by AT&T. We have developed and implemented systems in our network to reduce unsolicited bulk short text messages, but we cannot at this time block all such messages. We continue to look for other options to reduce these unsolicited bulk messages. If you have an email account with AT&T, this service is subject to unsolicited messages as any other email service.
It is unlawful for any third party to make an unsolicited telemarketing call using an autodialer or to send a prerecorded message to a wireless phone or device. You should report any such unsolicited calls to the Federal Communications Commission.
244
Network and Information Security
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information. For example, we use accepted tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. Also, we grant access to personal information about you to employees and contractors who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. In addition, we work to protect the security of your personal information when you are ordering new service via the AT&T Web site by using well-known Internet encryption technologies like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). We also use encryption technologies to protect your account information when you are viewing your xxxx on our Web site. You should be aware that AT&T has no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you buy products or services.
What Can I Do to Protect My Personal Information?
An important part of ensuring the security of personal information is your own effort to protect against unauthorized access to your wireless device and the personal information contained in it and on your SIM card. Most phones and wireless PDA-type devices store calling information both in the phone and on the SIM card. Therefore, before discarding your phone or PDA, trading it in or giving it away, be sure you remove and retain your SIM card and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for deleting all personal information on the device itself. (This can be found in your owner’s manual or on the manufacturers’ Web site.)
In addition, use passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless device, your wireless service account, and your voicemail. If you write down your passwords or user names, keep the information in a secure location. Do not give your password to someone else unless you intend them to have the same full access and ability to make changes to your account as you have. Change your passwords periodically.
Accuracy of Personal Information in Your Account
You can review the accuracy of the personal information in your account records online (go to My Account on this Web site) or by contacting Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000.
245
California customers: AT&T does not disclose customers’ personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, as governed by California Civil Code 1798.83.
Updating this Policy
AT&T will revise or update this Policy as it deems appropriate, including for example, if our practices change, as we change existing or add new services, as we develop better ways to inform you of products we think will be of interest, or if the law so requires. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes.
If, however, users’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users via posting on this page for 30 days before the material change is made. Users will have a choice as to whether or not their information will be used in this materially different manner.

EXHIBIT N – AT&T PRIVACY POLICY
Effective date: October 21, 2006)
AT&T has a long-standing policy of protecting customer privacy.
We believe that you should know what information we collect from you, as well as how that information is used, disclosed, and protected. We have created this policy statement (the “Policy”) to explain our privacy practices and policies.
We will not sell or disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties without your consent except as otherwise provided in this Policy. We may use information about who you are, where and when you browse on the Web, where your wireless device is located, and how you use our network to provide you better service and enrich your user experience when you sign up or use any of our products or services.
AT&T may make available shorter or machine-readable versions of this Privacy Policy. These additional policies are intended only as summaries of this complete Privacy Policy. This Policy applies to customers who purchase and use our services and products in the United States. Collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information may be subject to different regulation outside the United States.
AT&T will revise and update this Policy as it deems appropriate, including, for example, if our practices change or if changes in the law so require. You should refer back to this page for the latest information.
QUICK PRIVACY LINKS
The following brief summaries outline our Policy and then link to further detail. We also provide you the means to communicate with us if you have any questions about this Policy. This Policy also addresses what we do with information about your device usage, the services you buy from us, and who you call.
Does AT&T Collect Personal Information About Me?
Yes, AT&T collects personal information about you so that we can deliver products or services you request.
253
This happens automatically when you interact with us, such as when you log into a service. Sometimes, AT&T buys commercially available marketing and sales information from third parties so we can better serve you. Tell me more
Does AT&T Collect Information About Children Under the Age of 13?
If we make available offers and products online where a child informs us that he or she is under the age of 13, we will ask a parent to confirm his/her consent in advance of further collection, use or disclosure of personal information from that child.
How Does AT&T Use Personal Information?
We use personal information for billing and collection purposes, to provide services or complete transactions you have requested, and to anticipate and resolve problems with your services. We may also use this information to create and inform you of products or services from AT&T or others that may better meet your needs.
When Does AT&T Disclose Personal Information?
We do not sell personal information to unaffiliated third parties. We will disclose personal information to third parties to complete a transaction you have requested, as part of the terms and conditions for a particular service, to collect on an account, or when we otherwise have your consent to do so. We also may disclose personal information to third parties to protect the rights and property of the company or its subscribers.
What Happens to Information About My Telephone Usage and Who I Call?
Under federal law, you have a right, and we have a duty, to protect the confidentiality of information about your device usage, the services you buy from us, who you call, and the location of your device on our network when you make a voice call.
254
Does AT&T Use Cookies?
Yes. AT&T uses cookies for a variety of reasons, including improving your shopping or browsing experience. In addition, cookies help us personalize the site experience for you.
Does AT&T Use Web Beacons?
Yes. AT&T uses Web beacons, also known as Web bugs, on our sites so that we can identify you and deliver you the services you request. However, AT&T does not permit third parties to use Web beacons linked to personal information on our site.
Does AT&T Place Advertising on Other Web Sites?
AT&T currently uses third-party advertising companies to place our ads on the Internet, and cookie and Web beacon technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of those ads. You should know that the use of such cookies is subject to the third parties’ privacy policies, and not the policy of AT&T.
What About Presence, Location, and Tracking Information?
Our network knows the general location of your phone whenever it is turned on. When we offer you optional services that require use or disclosure of this information, the terms and conditions for the specific service offering explain how the location information will be used. We also may provide your network location to emergency service providers if you place a 911 call.
Can I Choose Not to Receive Marketing Messages on My Wireless Device from Third Parties?
AT&T has implemented technology to reduce unsolicited bulk short text messages but is unable to filter all marketing messages that you receive on your wireless device from third parties.
255
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information.
What Can I Do to Protect My Personal Information?
An important part of ensuring the security of your personal information is your own efforts to protect against unauthorized access to your wireless device and SIM card. Before discarding your device or trading it in, be sure you remove all your personal information from the device.
How can I Review Personal Information in my Account for Accuracy?
You can review the accuracy of the personal information in your account online (go to My Account on this Web site) or by contacting Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000.
Will This Policy Be Updated?
AT&T expects to update this Policy periodically. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes to the Policy.
To Whom Should I Direct Privacy Questions or Concerns?
You have several ways to contact us about questions of this Policy and about your services.
AT&T PRIVACY POLICY
We have created the AT&T Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) to explain our privacy practices. When you use any AT&T product or service, you should understand when and how personal information is collected, used, disclosed and protected.
256
We will not sell or disclose information to unaffiliated third parties without your consent except as otherwise provided in this Policy. We may use information about who you are, where and when you browse on the Web, where your wireless device is located, and how you use our network to provide you better service and enrich your user experience when you sign up or use any of our products or services.
AT&T will revise and update this Policy if our practices change or if changes in the law so require.
Information Collected About You
We collect a variety of personal information about users of our products or services. Personal information is information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity, such as a name, address, telephone number, email address, or information about activities directly linked to that person.
Our definition of personal information does not include “aggregate” information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of services or customers from which individual customer identities have been removed. For example, we could prepare a report that indicates that a certain number of our customers always use their wireless phones at a certain time of day at a specific location. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and customer needs so that we can better consider new services or tailor existing services to customer desires. The aggregate data also might be purchased by or shared with a third party, for example, one interested in locating a business in a particular part of town.
Here are the types of personal and other information we collect. You should refer to the rest of this Policy to see how we use, disclose, and protect that information:
• | Information You Give Us |
We collect information you give us when you purchase an AT&T product or use services. For example, you may provide us a billing address and credit information, including your social security number or
business identifier, when signing up for service or perhaps purchasing a product through our online store. You might not have thought about it this way, but the numbers dialed from your wireless phone to make a call are an example of information you give us and that we collect and use so we can xxxx you appropriately and investigate fraudulent usage.
257
• | Automatically Collected Information |
We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, when you visit an AT&T Web site, our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser you use. When you browse the wireless web, our systems log the Web sites you visit. Similarly, all wireless communications systems know when your phone is turned on and approximately where the device is physically located—that’s how calls or messages are delivered to you in real time.
• | Information from Other Sources |
We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with your account information. For example, we may receive credit information for purposes of initiating service. We also may use commercially available demographic and marketing information from third parties to help us better serve you or inform you about products or services that we think will be of interest to you. We sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily. And, we often receive information from the dealer from whom you purchase your wireless phone or device prior to initiating service with us.
We also may purchase email lists from third parties for advertising purposes. We only purchase lists of individuals who have allowed third-party use of their email address for marketing purposes. If you have previously requested to participate in an email advertising program, the information we receive may include your name, information on previous transactions, or any other personal information you have provided.
AT&T recognizes that parents often purchase our products and services for family use, including for use by minors. Any information collected from such usage will appear to be the personal information of the actual subscriber to the service, and will be treated as such under this Policy. If we make available offers and products online where a child informs us that he or she is under the age of 13, we will ask a parent to confirm his/her consent in advance of further collection, use or disclosure of personal information from that child.
In a Business Agreement, our customer is a business or other entity purchasing service for employees or other authorized users. If you receive certain benefits through a business or government customer’s agreement with us,
this Policy will generally govern your personal information. However, if you receive service where a business or government entity pays AT&T for your account or is otherwise liable to AT&T for the charges (for example, as a guarantor if you fail to pay), we may share your account information with that entity. If you receive certain benefits tied to a Business Agreement, but you are liable for your own charges, then we may share enough account information with that entity to verify your continuing eligibility for those benefits. Please contact AT&T if you have any questions about who is the liable party on your xxxx.
258
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
If we make available offers and products online where a child informs us that he or she is under the age of 13, we will ask a parent to confirm his/her consent in advance of further collection, use or disclosure of personal information from that child. You should be aware, however, that wireless devices and services purchased for family use may be used by minors without the knowledge of AT&T. If that happens, any information collected from the usage will appear to be the personal information of the actual adult subscriber and treated as such under this Policy.
Use of Personal Information
• | Internal Use. |
In general, we use personal information to serve our customers, to enhance and extend our customer relationship, and to enable our customers to take maximum advantage of products and services we think they would enjoy. For example, by understanding how you use our Web site, we are able to customize and personalize your experience. More specifically, we use personal information for billing purposes, to provide services or complete transactions you have requested, to anticipate and resolve problems with your services, and to create and inform you of products or services from AT&T or others that better meet your needs.
AT&T uses email, short text messages, telemarketing, and direct mail to inform you about products or services we think will interest you. You can modify your preferences on receiving these types of communications:
• | If you are currently a AT&T customer and wish to change your preferences on receiving these types of communications, you can do one of the following to tell us your preferences: |
• | Complete an online form |
• | Visit the “My Profile” page, if you manage your account online. |
• | Call Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000. |
259
• | If you are not a current customer of AT&T and wish to opt out of receiving marketing communications, you can complete an online form to tell us your preferences. |
While you may choose not to receive marketing information from us, you will continue to receive invoices, customer service-related notifications, and other similar information from us electronically or otherwise.
• | Third-Party Use. |
You should review the following section to understand when AT&T discloses personal information to third parties.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Information about our customers is one of our most important business assets, and therefore we strive to protect it and keep it confidential. We do not sell personal information to third parties without your consent. When and what types of information AT&T discloses depends on the service and in some cases the choices you have made.
AT&T will not disclose personal information other than in accordance with this Policy. In general, that means that you must consent to the disclosure in advance. Depending on the service, we may obtain your consent in a number of ways, including:
• | In writing; |
• | Verbally; |
• | Online by clicking a button; |
• | Through the use of a dialing string or button on a wireless device or handset; or |
• | At the time of initiation of a particular service offering, when your consent is part of the required terms and conditions to use that service. |
For example, your consent to disclose personal information can be implied simply by the nature of your request, such as when you ask us to deliver an email or short message to another person. Your return address is disclosed as part of the service and your consent to do so is implied by your use of the service. To determine how personal information may be disclosed as part of a particular service, you should review the terms and conditions of use for that service.
260
We share personal information with third parties as necessary to complete a transaction, perform a service on our behalf (such as enhancing our ability to serve you better), or perform a service that you have requested. When the third party acts solely on our behalf, AT&T does not allow them to use your information for other purposes. For example, our vendors process and print your billing statement on our behalf. They can only use the personal information we give them to produce the billing statement. When we write off an account for non-payment, AT&T sometimes discloses personal information about the account to third parties such as credit bureaus. Credit bureaus may use the personal information to update their records. AT&T does not currently disclose wireless numbers in AT&T listings or published directories. If we do so in the future, you will be able to choose whether your number is listed.
Aside from our services, however, you may also want to take advantage of services and products offered by other companies utilizing our wireless service. In those cases, you will be providing information to those companies, and information about you received by those third parties will be governed by their privacy policies, not this Policy. For example, if you are roaming on the network of another carrier, information about your usage and the numbers you dial will be available to the carrier providing the service. Also, as another example, if you purchase something using our mobile Internet service, you will be disclosing personal information directly to the company facilitating the transaction, a merchant bank and the merchant. Finally, if you bought your wireless device from a third party retailer or dealer, both they and AT&T will have personal information as a result of the transaction and your ongoing service with AT&T. Whenever third parties have a role in any such transaction, you should review their privacy policies as well.
From time to time you may be able to participate in contests, giveaways, or other similar promotions we sponsor. Except as explained otherwise in the rules for a particular contest, giveaway, or promotion, any personal information you provide will be used in accordance with this Policy.
In addition, from time to time you may be able to participate in our surveys to help us improve our offerings and services. Except as explained otherwise in the survey, any personal information so collected will be used for our internal purposes.
Under federal law, you have a right, and we have a duty, to protect the confidentiality of information about your telephone usage, the services you buy from us, who you call, and the location of your device on our network when you make a voice call. This information is sometimes referred to as “Customer Proprietary Network Information,”
261
or “CPNI.” We share CPNI and other personal information about you with affiliates of AT&T and BellSouth Corporation (the parent companies of AT&T) that provide telecommunications services to which you also subscribe. Before sharing CPNI in any other way, we will first notify you of your rights under the law, describe how we intend to use the CPNI, and give you an opportunity to opt out of such usage (or, when required by law, to opt in).
Business Transfers:
Information about our users, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, as well as in the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company.
Protection of AT&T and Others:
We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or in good faith reliance on legal process (e.g., court orders, subpoenas, E911 information, etc.); enforce or apply our customer agreements; initiate, render, bill, and collect for services; protect our rights or property, or protect users of those services and other carriers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, or subscription to, such services; facilitate or verify the appropriate calculation of taxes, fees, or other obligations due to a local, state, or federal government; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications, or justifies disclosure of records, to a governmental entity without delay.
AT&T Use of Cookies
Cookies are small files placed on your computer’s hard drive by a Web site when you visit. These files identify your computer and record your preferences and other data about your visit so that when you return to the site, the site knows who you are and can personalize your visit. For example, cookies enable a Web site shopping cart to function so that you only have to check out once. Consequently, cookies are often tied to the use of personally identifiable information while using our site, and some functionality may be lost if you choose not to accept the use of cookies.
262
In general, we use cookies to collect information so that we can determine how to improve our site by seeing which areas, features and products are most popular; to personalize the site and make recommendations based on products you have liked in the past as well as to improve the site experience; and to complete transactions you have requested. Advertisers that serve ads on our site may also use their own cookies. Such outside cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the entities placing the ads, and are not subject to this Policy.
We also use a session-based cookie that maintains a user’s session for continuity of navigation while viewing the site. After closing the browser the session cookie simply terminates.
With wireless Internet service, cookies are also used by our suppliers and third-party vendors to facilitate the various services and information offered. Depending on the phone or device being used, cookies may be stored locally on the phone or device, or on servers operated by AT&T. This Internet cookie-like functionality is in place for the same reasons and designed for the same purposes as cookies placed on your computer when interacting with Internet Web sites. Our suppliers and vendors will only use this information to provision the service, but each site you visit while using the wireless Internet service is controlled by a separate company and their individual privacy policies will govern information they receive automatically from the cookie or information you voluntarily provide.
AT&T Use of Web Beacons
A Web beacon, also known as a Web bug, is a small, graphic image on a Web page, Web-based document or in an email message that is designed to allow the site owner or a third party to monitor the address and other information of the computer viewing the item. Web beacons are often invisible to the user because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the Web page, document, or email message. Web beacons are represented as HTML IMG tags in the Web page; users can click on “view profiles” of the Web page to see whether the page is using a Web beacon. Web beacons collect the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to, the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from, and the time it was viewed. Web beacons can also be linked to personal information.
AT&T does not place Web beacons that link to personal information on other sites, nor does it permit third parties, other than those working on our behalf, to place them on our site. AT&T does use Web beacons itself and may link a particular beacon to personal information. For example, we may use a beacon to ensure a user can flip between technical assistance, customer service and our online store and still be recognized as our customer.

AT&T Placement of Advertising on Other Web Sites
AT&T may use third-party ad serving companies to place advertisements about our products and services on other Web sites. These companies may use cookies and other technology such as Web beacons or tagging to measure the effectiveness of our ads. To measure advertising effectiveness and offer selective ad content, the ad serving companies may use anonymous information about your visits to our and other Web sites. But the ad serving companies use an anonymous number to identify you, NOT your name, address, phone number, email address, or anything that personally identifies you. The use of such cookies is subject to the ad serving company’s privacy policy, not the Policy of AT&T. If you would like more information about these companies we use, their privacy practices, or to learn your choices about not having this non-personal information used to serve ads to you, see our AT&T Ad Serving Companies.
AT&T Advertising Companies
This list contains a link to the privacy policies for the ad-serving companies used to place ads on 3rd party sites. AT&T will revise or update this as we change existing or add new ad-serving companies.

Presence, Location, and Tracking
To make wireless communications possible, the network knows the general location of your phone or wireless device whenever it is turned on. Your wireless device sends out a periodic signal to the nearest radio tower/cell site so that the network will know where to route an incoming communication and how to properly xxxx for the service. This is necessary to make wireless communications possible.
If you dial 911 for emergency services, we may provide your network location to a public safety answering point, emergency medical service provider or emergency dispatch provider, public safety, fire service, or law enforcement official, or hospital emergency or trauma care facility. The law also permits us to disclose the location of a device on our network without a user’s consent (1) to a user’s legal guardian or members of a user’s
264
immediate family in an emergency situation that involves the risk of death or serious physical harm, (2) to database management services or information providers solely to assist in delivering emergency services, or (3) to a governmental entity if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires or justifies disclosure of a device’s location on the network without delay. Legally required upgrades will allow us to provide a location more precise than cell site location.
In addition, we offer optional services on our GSM/GPRS network that make use of your network location. Please review the terms and conditions for each service for additional information about how the location information will be used. The location used for these services is separate from the network location information when you make a voice call.
Your wireless Internet service may also be personalized using your ZIP code or other location identifiers. We use this information to serve you relevant content, and we treat the information like any other personal information under this Policy. This service does not use the network location technology described in this section.
Receipt of Marketing Messages on My Wireless Device from Third Parties
You should be aware that not all advertisements appearing on or delivered to your mobile phone or device are authorized by AT&T. We have developed and implemented systems in our network to reduce unsolicited bulk short text messages, but we cannot at this time block all such messages. We continue to look for other options to reduce these unsolicited bulk messages. If you have an email account with AT&T, this service is subject to unsolicited messages as any other email service.
It is unlawful for any third party to make an unsolicited telemarketing call using an autodialer or to send a prerecorded message to a wireless phone or device. You should report any such unsolicited calls to the Federal Communications Commission.
265
Network and Information Security
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information. For example, we use accepted tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. Also, we grant access to personal information about you to employees and contractors who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. In addition, we work to protect the security of your personal information when you are ordering new service via the AT&T Web site by using well-known Internet encryption technologies like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). We also use encryption technologies to protect your account information when you are viewing your xxxx on our Web site. You should be aware that AT&T has no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you buy products or services.
What Can I Do to Protect My Personal Information?
An important part of ensuring the security of personal information is your own effort to protect against unauthorized access to your wireless device and the personal information contained in it and on your SIM card. Most phones and wireless PDA-type devices store calling information both in the phone and on the SIM card. Therefore, before discarding your phone or PDA, trading it in or giving it away, be sure you remove and retain your SIM card and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for deleting all personal information on the device itself. (This can be found in your owner’s manual or on the manufacturers’ Web site.)
In addition, use passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless device, your wireless service account, and your voicemail. If you write down your passwords or user names, keep the information in a secure location. Do not give your password to someone else unless you intend them to have the same full access and ability to make changes to your account as you have. Change your passwords periodically.
Accuracy of Personal Information in Your Account
You can review the accuracy of the personal information in your account records online (go to My Account on this Web site) or by contacting Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000.
California customers: AT&T does not disclose customers’ personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, as governed by California Civil Code 1798.83.
266
Updating this Policy
AT&T will revise or update this Policy as it deems appropriate, including for example, if our practices change, as we change existing or add new services, as we develop better ways to inform you of products we think will be of interest, or if the law so requires. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes.
If, however, users’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users via posting on this page for 30 days before the material change is made. Users will have a choice as to whether or not their information will be used in this materially different manner.

2. | Responsibilities and Services |
This Section 2 describes Motricity’s support responsibilities with respect to the Services and the corresponding responsibilities of AT&T.
2.1. | Motricity Responsibilities |
Motricity will provide day-to-day service operations, maintenance and administration in support of the Services that are within Motricity’s Span of Control, as described below.
It is the intention of Motricity to expeditiously remedy incidents that have been identified either internally by Motricity or AT&T. Corrective action by Motricity assumes that the incident is within its Span of Control and AT&T has provided all relevant information, if available, to Motricity. See the section entitled Mandatory Information for Incident Reporting for required reporting information.
Motricity will pursue the resolution of an incident with outside vendors provided Motricity has a contractual arrangement with the vendor. During the resolution period, Motricity will issue updates to AT&T pursuant to the severity of the incident, as described later in this SLA.
Any third party content provider contracted directly by AT&T is not a party to this agreement. Any loss of content from such providers is outside of Motricity’s Span of Control.
2.2. | Motricity Carrier Care |
The Motricity Carrier Care Support Services team is an interface between AT&T’s Level 2 Support Group (AT&T’s non-customer facing group) and Motricity for support of services provided by Motricity. This arrangement provides AT&T with access to a single point of contact for reporting incidents, receiving updates and escalation. Table 1 provides the Motricity Carrier Care hours of operation and contact information. A complete list of all contacts is also shown in Appendix A. These contacts are to be contacted per the escalation procedures outlined in Section 4.1.5.
Hours of Operation | 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year (7/24/365) | |

2.2.1. | Motricity Support Services |
The following list identifies services that are offered by Motricity Support Services to AT&T:
• | Telephone and email support for incident resolution |
• | Advisory Bulletins |
• | Notification of planned maintenance activities |
• | Post Mortem Reports for Severity 1 (SEV1) and recurring incidents classified as Severity 2 (Sev2) including a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) upon request. Initial Reports are delivered within 24 hours of resolution with a complete Post Mortem report within three (3) business days. |
2.3. | AT&T Responsibilities |
AT&T will provide support for Incident Management as detailed in Section 4.
3. | Service Performance Objectives |
3.1 | Service Availability |
Service Availability (SA) is defined as the amount of time the service is up excluding planned Maintenance and AT&T caused outages, computed as:
***
The above calculations allow a weighting for partial outages and degraded service, such that only the fraction of Users denied service contributes to negative Service Availability.
3.1.1 | Service Availability Target |
Effective as of Commercial Launch, Availability will start at *** Motricity shall provide an overall System service availability of *** for all Services listed in the SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below, measured at no less than the frequency shown in Appendix D and reported at monthly intervals as described in Section 6.2 below. This measurement excludes downtimes caused by AT&T and service interruptions due to planned maintenance approved in advance by AT&T.
3.2 | Service Latency |
User requests for Services shall be fulfilled in accordance with Table 2 below for each calendar month. This includes delivery of all bytes of the response (content plus protocol overhead) that Motricity controls (i.e. service requests and subsequent requests for which the browser’s URL target is hosted by Motricity).
Motricity will achieve the latency targets set forth in Table 2 below/. The parties agree to review actual performance results compared to latency targets on or before September 30, 2009 to determine whether or not new targets are required.
Prior to the end of the first period, parties will agree to either amend the existing latency targets, or agree to keep them as is.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
291
In addition to the monthly SLA reports, Motricity will provide an analysis of capacity and performance, system dimensioning (including maximum, sustainable, peak transactions per second, per hour, peak sessions per hour,) and actual traffic information (including average and peak latency, average http transaction payload, etc.) for the Services (by Service type) as input into any and all performance reviews.
Thereafter, latency shall be reviewed from time-to-time during the Term and to assess whether the latency targets need to be adjusted due to increased volumes, or new functionality that elongates the transaction time. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, these are the targets for penalties as set forth in Section 8.3.
*** |
Table 2, Latency Target Ramp
These requirements are specific to the portion of end to end Latency incurred within Motricity’s Span of Control and will be measured from the network equipment at Motricity that first receives and processes a Service request from the AT&T network and transmits a response back. The design of latency monitoring infrastructure will ensure appropriate components of the request and response are adequately measured. The implementation of latency monitoring infrastructure will include the deployment of a separate and specific server(s) for the purpose of monitoring and fault management. The latency introduced by the GPRS network, the WAP Gateway and other elements of the AT&T Network are excluded from the latency measurements described above.
3.3 Intentionally Omitted
3.4 ***
3.5 Third-Party Content Providers
Motricity will be responsible for the performance, service availability and service latency of all providers of Motricity Sourced Content with whom Motricity has a contract. Where such content provider contracts exist, Motricity will perform appropriate alarming, monitoring and fault management to ensure that performance of these providers fully supports the service objectives defined in this SLA. Motricity will also identify those content providers to AT&T and provide notification of changes to such contractual relationships no less than 30 days in advance of such changes becoming effective.
Expectations for processing of third party content feeds as set forth in Appendix D are as follows: For streaming content (sports scores and stock quotes), all received content must be processed and published a maximum of *** For all other content feeds that are updated at least once a day, content must be processed and published within a maximum *** For all other content feeds (those updated less frequently than once per day), the content must be processed and published as soon as possible, and will at all times display content for the current day.
Motricity will also provide monthly reporting of service interruptions, availability measures and other data for contracted providers of Motricity Sourced Content in accordance with Section 6.
In addition, Motricity will be responsible for all degradations and service impacting issues affecting the Services that are caused by providers of Motricity Sourced Content from a Motricity SLA performance perspective.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
292
4. | Incident Management |
4.1. | Incident Resolution Responsibilities |
Incident resolution requires teamwork between Motricity and AT&T. A key element in this teamwork approach is AT&T’s understanding of the User service(s) offered by Motricity.
All AT&T identified incidents concerning failures of the Services that cannot be solved by AT&T representatives will be reported to Motricity Carrier Care Support Services, pursuant to the Reporting Process procedures outlined below. AT&T will assign a Severity Level per Table 4. If Motricity disagrees with the Severity assignment, both parties will negotiate in good faith after the resolution of the incident but all restoration will proceed based upon AT&T’s initial Severity assignment.
Any reported incident that is caused by a failure that is outside Motricity’s Span of Control and not directly related to its delivery of a subscriber service will be returned to AT&T with an appropriate explanation. Should Motricity determine that an incident being worked by Motricity Carrier Care Support Services is within AT&T’s control, the incident will be closed and returned to AT&T for proper resolution.
4.1.1. | AT&T Contact Information |
In order for Motricity Carrier Care to effectively resolve Incidents, it is necessary for Motricity to have an accurate list of AT&T’s designated key personnel. This information will be exchanged between the two parties and updated as changes warrant. Appendix A shows the type of contact information required, showing the current contacts at the Third Amendment Effective Date. This data will be maintained and updated by the two parties outside of this SLA.

Update Objectives | |||
Severity 1 (Sev1) AT&T SIR1 |
Severity 1 problems are conditions that render the service inoperative and the inability to use the service has a critical effect on operations. The condition is generally characterized by complete system failure and requires immediate restoration. Examples of this incident level being attained include:
• A complete outage of critical service(s)
• Loss of service or functionality feature that affects *** or more of subscribers
• A recurring anomaly impacting critical service(s).
• Inability to provision a service.

Severity 3 (Sev3) AT&T SIR3 |
Severity 3 problems are generally non-service affecting conditions under which the service is usable and either has no material affect on operations or has very limited affect on operations. The condition is not critical to overall operations, and does not severely restrict such operations. Examples of this incident level being attained include:
• A minor degradation of the service that affects *** of the subscribers.
• Non-service impacting intermittent system faults.
• Loss of resources / capacity / traffic measurement function.

4.1.4. | Technical Bridge and Executive Bridge |
During the resolution of a service affecting incident, AT&T may establish a Technical Bridge and/or an Executive Bridge for any Incident. Motricity shall join the Technical Bridge upon *** from AT&T for Severity 1 issues as noted in Table 5 below. These bridges are used for NOC-to-NOC communication, troubleshooting, triage and escalation. Unless otherwise notified by AT&T, a Technical Bridge or Executive Bridge will be established as follows:

4.1.5. | Escalation Procedures |
4.1.5.1. | Motricity Internal Escalation |
Escalation procedures are in place at Motricity to manage the resolution of incidents when they occur. If a Severity 1 (Sev1) incident is not resolved within *** Motricity was made aware of the problem, the incident will be escalated within Motricity to the dedicated Manager of Service Operations, who will drive escalation and resolution of the incident within Motricity’s Operations and Engineering groups, and ensure that AT&T is kept updated with the incident resolution process. The appropriate Business Development person will also be informed of the occurrence and status of any Sev1 incident.
If the Sev1 incident has not been resolved by the Motricity & AT&T NOC teams within ***, the Director of Commercial Operations will become directly involved with driving the incident to resolution and communicating with the appropriate AT&T personnel. The status of the incident will also be communicated to senior management within Motricity.
4.1.5.2. | AT&T Escalation to Motricity |
In the event that Motricity does not respond to AT&T within the times shown in Table 4, AT&T can request that the incident be escalated to the next level, based on the contact information shared between the two companies (see Appendix A for a list of names that are current as of time of the Effective Date). All escalation requests must be initiated through the 7x24 contact information provided in Table 1, and not to the individual directly. Only in the event that the 7x24 representative does not escalate within *** of AT&T’s request, should the appropriate Motricity individual be contacted directly. AT&T must verify that escalation has not taken place prior to calling any Motricity employee directly.
For the purposes of clarification, Table 6 provides escalation timelines for Severity 1 and 2 incidents, based on time after the incident was reported. Severity 3 incidents seldom require escalation but in the event that AT&T believes that Motricity is not addressing the incident in a timely manner, the parties can mutually agree to elevate the priority of the incident, and treat it as a Severity 2 incident.

Table 6, Escalation Timetable
4.1.5.3. | Additional Escalation Information |
Motricity and AT&T will ensure that any additional processes that are required to ensure the smooth escalation of incidents within each organization are clearly communicated to one another in writing, so that the escalation processes within each organization and between the two organizations are clearly understood by both parties.
Motricity and AT&T will exchange the names and contact information of the personnel who need to be kept informed of progress during the escalation process in Appendix A. Both parties are responsible for ensuring that the contact information is updated and exchanged when circumstances warrant. This information will not be updated and kept current as part of this SLA, but will need to be maintained separately by the two parties outside of this SLA.
4.2. | Mobile Web Handsets for Incident and Problem Management |
In order for Motricity to provide the most effective level of support, AT&T agrees to provide Motricity with two (2) testing units for each device type (touch, and non-touch) specifically for supporting Incident and Problem Management. Each such device shall be appropriately provisioned and have a valid account and password as to properly access the AT&T network. Each such unit shall be the GA (general availability) version of the handset and should be supplied to Motricity no less than 30 days prior to launch.
5. | Incident Reporting Process |
5.1. | Communicating Incidents |
AT&T will communicate incidents to Motricity in the following manner:
• | Phone call to Motricity SOC or sends a trouble ticket to Motricity via email using the email address of *** |
• | Motricity sets the initial classification of their internal trouble ticket according to the AT&T notification (see “Mandatory Information” below), unless otherwise agreed between Motricity and AT&T. |
• | Motricity will generate a single response for each trouble ticket that is received from AT&T, to confirm receipt of the incident report. |
5.1.1. | Mandatory Information for Incident Reporting |
For each AT&T originated incident, AT&T will make every effort to provide as much information to Motricity that will facilitate timely problem determination and resolution. Upon notification of the incidents, the required information will be verified. When Motricity has received sufficient information, Motricity will begin resolving the incident and provide feedback to AT&T as described above in Section 5.1 Communicating Incidents.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
298

• | All communications that include references to time should be expressed using a 24-hour clock format and should always utilize and reference PST as the standard time zone. |
6. | Motricity Reports |
6.1. | Post Mortem Reports |
The purpose of the Post-Mortem Report is to outline the known information regarding the incident and possible root causes and to summarize the incident resolution timeline. If known, it will also identify corrective actions to prevent its reoccurrence. Motricity will create a Post-Mortem Report and provide such report to AT&T per Section 2.2.1.
6.2. | Service Level Reporting |
Each month, Motricity will provide AT&T with a “Monthly Service Level Report” indicating the service performance for the Services for the previous month (see SLA Monitoring Requirements (Appendix D) below for detailed list of Services associated with this SLA). This report will contain performance reporting for the service performance objectives listed in Appendix D and a summary of the weekly incident response reports described in Section 6.3 for such month.
Motricity shall supply the Monthly Service Level Report no later than the tenth business day of the month following the immediately preceding month. It is agreed that Motricity will work towards publishing the Monthly Service Level Report on the sixth business day starting 6 months from the initial launch of Services.

7. | Change Control Management (CCM) |
7.1. | Planned Maintenance by Motricity |
Motricity will ensure that any planned maintenance events under its Span of Control will be executed in a well-coordinated manner. Proper execution includes notification to AT&T by Motricity Carrier Care Support Services.
7.1.1. | Service Interruptions and Advanced Notification Requirements |
Motricity will provide AT&T with *** advance notice (via email) of all planned maintenance activities resulting or potentially resulting in service interruptions that will have a direct impact on the Services unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Motricity may assume that AT&T accepts the scheduled maintenance unless Motricity is advised via email within *** prior to the time of the planned event.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
300
Unless otherwise arranged, Motricity will perform planned service interruptions from *** (the “AT&T Maintenance Window”) or as otherwise communicated between the two parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon AT&T’s sole discretion, the AT&T Maintenance Window may be extended to allow for maintenance, testing and/or validation of the Services that falls outside of the AT&T Maintenance Window
***
Please Note: *** Any Motricity unplanned system downtime resulting from a AT&T maintenance activity or otherwise required on account of AT&T’s action(s) or inaction(s), will not be counted against the Motricity SLA service measures from the time the requested maintenance activity was scheduled through the end of that month. The outage and/or service degradation must be directly attributable to the AT&T maintenance activities or otherwise required on account of AT&T’s action(s) or inaction(s).
7.1.2. | Communications Related to Planned Maintenance |
Motricity notification of planned maintenance will be communicated to AT&T through use of the Maintenance Request Worksheet shown in Appendix B. Motricity will provide official notification to AT&T of the start and end of a planned maintenance activity via email to the contacts identified in Section 4.1.1. During all planned maintenance activities, AT&T will establish a technical bridge for real time communication of status and progress, and Motricity will participate in that technical bridge unless otherwise agreed by both parties.
7.1.3. | Canceling Planned Service Interruptions |
In the event of an AT&T emergency, AT&T may cancel the planned service interruption. Cancellation by AT&T may occur only if AT&T notifies Motricity within one (1) business day of the scheduled start time of the maintenance window. Any notification of cancellation must come directly from either an Operations Manager or AT&T Team Leader via voice notification by calling 000-000-0000 (000-000-0000 for local or International calls), with a follow-up email that should be sent to:
***
7.1.4. | Restrictions Associated with AT&T’s Cancellation |
In the event that AT&T cancels a maintenance activity planned by Motricity, as defined in Section 7.1.1 above, and the parties are unable to mutually agree on an alternative schedule, Motricity will not be held to the SLA service measures from the time the requested maintenance activity was scheduled through the end of that month. The outage and/or service degradation must be directly attributable to the postponed maintenance activities.
If an alternative schedule is agreed upon, but a failure occurs between the originally approved maintenance window and the rescheduled maintenance window, Motricity will not be held to the SLA services measures for that related outage and/or degradation.
7.1.5. | Planned Service Interruptions by AT&T |
AT&T will provide Motricity with advance notice (via email to *** of all planned maintenance activities requiring support from Motricity. AT&T will make every effort to provide five (5) business days advance notice and will provide at a minimum two (2) business days advance notice of such activities. Such planned activities will exclude changes to Motricity software and/or configurations as these would require additional notice.
7.1.6. | Unplanned Service Interruptions by AT&T |
AT&T will notify Motricity of any unplanned service interruptions via email to Motricity Carrier Care (*** as quickly as is reasonably possible for AT&T.
*** | This redacted material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and the material has been filed separately with the Commission. |
301
Motricity will make all reasonable efforts to support AT&T in resolving the issue. Motricity may charge its standard professional services fees for such efforts.
7.1.7. | Splash Page During Maintenance |
The parties will cooperate to display a “splash page” during any planned or emergency maintenance that would otherwise result in a TCP timeout from a WAP Gateway and other mutually agreed required maintenance activities requiring customer requests to be blocked whenever reasonably technically feasible. Such a page will be presented to users of both the wired and wireless web access points, to inform them of temporary unavailability of the Services. Service of the splash page does not constitute availability, but is categorized as either planned or unscheduled service interruption (in accordance with Section 7.1). AT&T will provide the static WML/xHTML content to be displayed in the “splash page”.
7.2. | Capacity Planning Forecasts |
To ensure the highest level of service, Motricity requires AT&T at least twice per year to provide a forecast estimating the growth of their customer base (3, 6, 9 and 12 months into the future) and likely service usage. This will allow Motricity to plan the required resources to support the services for AT&T’s customers. If AT&T becomes aware of any material changes that would impact any forecast previously provided to Motricity (e.g., if AT&T has a special promotion plan in which a high number of new customers are anticipated), Motricity must be given 30 days advance notice of any change in the forecast to prepare for such additional capacity. If AT&T fails to provide Motricity with such notice, Motricity will not be held responsible for any failures to the performance objectives that could have been avoided had Motricity received such notice. A forecast provided pursuant to this section is only a forecast and is not a commitment on behalf of AT&T for the forecasted amount.
8. | Financial Consequences of Non-Performance |
8.1. | Financial Consequences for Failure to Meet Service Objectives |
The following sections define financial penalties for non-performance related to service objectives within the Motricity Span of Control.
These non-performance penalties set forth in this Section 8 will apply commencing on the date of commercial launch of the Services, unless the parties agree in writing to delay the application of non-performance of penalties for a particular Service or Services. The total financial penalties owed to AT&T under the Agreement will be subject to the SLA penalty cap set forth in Table 7 below. For purposes of clarity the SLA penalty cap under this Exhibit G-2 is in addition to any other SLA exhibit.
