1.6 Customer shall remain responsible for any Tail Circuit charges relevant to
the cancellation Location, but Scitor ITS shall, on a best efforts basis,
mitigate such costs by terminating any rental contracts with PTTs as soon
as practically possible, following notification by Customer.
1.7 Customer shall remain responsible for the duration of the term of this
Agreement for payment of the monthly lease charges for the Equipment.
Customer may discharge this responsibility at any time by paying Scitor ITS
a lump sum equal to the depreciated value of the Equipment based on the
original price paid by Scitor ITS or its subcontractors for the Equipment
plus 15% of such original price as a fee for administration and
disconnection. On payment of the resulting sum, Scitor ITS will transfer
title in the relevant Equipment to Customer. Customer understands that
Scitor ITS depreciates the Equipment over 3 years. Scitor ITS will transfer
the Equipment to a substitute Location on payment of a reconnection charge
agreed by the Parties and in addition Scitor ITS' travel and out of pocket
expenses.
