The Buyer Credit will be reduced by the Seller Credit (as defined in Section 2.5(a)(ii)) (if any) and if balance of the Buyer Credit remains thereafter, Buyer and Seller shall then promptly jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Buyer such amount from the Seller Escrow Deposit. Following the date that is four (4) months from the Closing Date, Buyer cannot make any claim against Seller for credits processed in error related to Purchased Subscribers.

(ii) During the period from the Closing until the date that is four (4) months from the Closing Date, on the last day of each calendar month and on the date that is four (4) months from Closing Date, Seller will provide to Buyer a report listing all credits processed in error against Seller’s settlements or as an adjustment to reserves by LECs or clearinghouses, as applicable, and the total amount owed to Seller by Buyer (the “Seller Credit”).

(b) Nonassignable Items. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, convey, assign, sublease or transfer any Assets, including Contracts and Licenses, if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, or transfer thereof, without the consent of another Person, would constitute a breach of, or in any way affect the rights of either Seller or Buyer with respect to, such Assets (“Nonassignable Items”). Seller shall use reasonable efforts (and Buyer shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller) to obtain and satisfy all Consents and to resolve all impracticalities of sale, conveyance, assignment, or transfer necessary to convey to Buyer all Nonassignable Items. If any such Consents are not obtained and satisfied or if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, or transfer would be ineffective, Seller shall enter into such arrangements (including related written agreements) as Buyer may reasonably request to provide Buyer with the benefit of the Nonassignable Items.

Such notice shall specify all facts known to Indemnitee giving rise to such indemnification rights. The right of Indemnitee for indemnification, as set forth in the notice, shall be deemed agreed to by Indemnitor unless, within 30 days after receipt of such notice, Indemnitor shall notify Indemnitee in writing that it disputes the right of Indemnitee to indemnification. If Indemnitee shall be duly notified of such dispute, the Parties shall attempt to settle and compromise the same first by referring such matters to an executive officer of each party prior to commencing any Litigation to interpret the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Upon receipt by Indemnitor of a notice from Indemnitee with respect to any claim of a third party against Indemnitee, and acknowledgment by Indemnitor (whether after resolution of a dispute or otherwise) of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification hereunder with respect to such claim, Indemnitor shall assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by Indemnitor in defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by Indemnitor in connection therewith. If Indemnitor shall acknowledge Indemnitee’s right to indemnification and elect to assume the defense of such claim, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of Indemnitee. If Indemnitor has assumed the defense of any claim against Indemnitee, Indemnitor shall have the right to settle any claim for which indemnification has been sought and is

available hereunder; provided that, to the extent that such settlement requires Indemnitee to take, or prohibits Indemnitee from taking, any action or purports to obligate Indemnitee, then Indemnitor shall not settle such claim without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If Indemnitor does not assume the defense of a third party claim and disputes Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, Indemnitee shall have the right to defend against such claim until Indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify is established pursuant to Section 7.3, and Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim through counsel of its choice, at Indemnitor’s expense, but Indemnitee shall have control over the defense and authority to resolve such claim subject to this Section 7.3.

7.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Unless specified otherwise in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer in this Agreement shall survive Closing for a period of twelve months, except for (i) those contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization of Seller), 3.2 (Authority), 3.3 (No Conflict; Required Consents), 3.6 (Taxes), 3.13 Finders and Brokers, 4.1 (Organization and Qualification of Buyer), 4.2 (Authority) and 4.3 (No Conflict; Required Consents), which shall survive indefinitely. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability under Sections 7.1(a) and 7.2(a), respectively, unless a claim for Losses for which indemnification is sought thereunder is asserted by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, within the applicable survival period.
