15
permitted and available, Seller shall assign to Buyer any "Year 2000"
warranty it may receive from such OEM Equipment vendor.
8.6 Response Services/Time
8.6.1 During the Warranty Period, Seller's technical assistance service ("TAS")
department shall provide reasonable assistance in the investigation and
resolution of service-affecting warranty Defects and/or Deficiencies. If
such assistance is requested by Buyer, Buyer agrees to follow Seller's
standard policies and procedures related to such TAS services as set
forth in Annex 4, "Seller Warranty Services." The Hardware Warranty
Period shall include TAS only to the extent that any TAS services
provided under the Switch warranty also apply to Hardware operating in
conjunction with the applicable Switch. For routine warranty service
situations, Seller shall ship replacement or repaired Hardware (or
components thereof) within thirty (30) days of receipt of the defective
Hardware (or components thereof) from Buyer.
8.6.2 For emergency warranty service situations, Seller shall, during the
Hardware Warranty Period, use all reasonable efforts to ship replacement
Hardware (or components thereof) within twenty-four (24) hours of
notification of the warranty Defect and/or Deficiency by Buyer. Buyer
shall pay to Seller the surcharge set forth in Annex 4, for such
expedited shipment of replacement Hardware. Buyer shall ship the
defective Hardware to Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
replacement Hardware. In the event Seller fails to receive such defective
Hardware within such thirty (30) day period, Seller shall invoice Buyer
for the replacement Hardware at the then-current price in effect
therefor. For the purpose of this Agreement, an emergency shall be deemed
to exist upon the occurrence of a Priority E1 or E2 problem, as defined
in Annex 4.
8.7 OEM Equipment
8.7.1 Miscellaneous OEM Equipment furnished in conjunction with a Switch,
(i.e., terminals and printers), shall be warranted in accordance with the
Hardware warranties set forth in Section 8.1 and handled through Seller's
Repair and Return department. With respect to all other OEM Equipment

vendors in accordance with their standard terms and conditions, including
by way of example and not by
16
limitation, such vendor's standard response time(s) and procedure(s) for
repair and return. Except for the warranty of title extended in Section
6.2 hereof, the warranties provided in this Section 8.7.1 are Buyer's
sole and exclusive remedy with respect to OEM Equipment provided by
Seller under this Agreement.
8.8 THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE CONSTITUTE THE ONLY
WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES PROVIDED, AND
BUYER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES IN THE EVENT SUCH WARRANTIES ARE BREACHED.
THEY ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND THE WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER.

under this Agreement; (iv) Equipment or components thereof that due to no
fault of Seller have been subjected to any other kind of misuse or
detrimental exposure or have been involved in an accident, fire
explosion, Act of God, or any other cause not attributable to Seller; or
(v) Equipment or Installation Services altered, repaired, installed or
relocated by any party other than Seller or Seller's agents. For purposes
of subsection (v), "install" shall not mean the routine plug-in of the
components done in accordance with NTP guidelines.
9. FORCE MAJEURE
17
If the performance of this Agreement, or of any obligation hereunder
except for the obligations set forth in Article 3 and Article 6 is

giving prompt notice to the other party, as set forth in Section 23.2
shall be excused from such performance on a day-for-day basis to the
extent of such prevention, restriction, or interference (and the other
party shall likewise be excused from performance of its obligations on a
day-for-day basis to the extent such party's obligations relate to the
performance so prevented, restricted or interfered with); provided that
the party so affected shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or remove
such causes of non-performance and both parties shall proceed to perform
their obligations with dispatch whenever such causes are removed or
cease.
10. PATENT OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS
10.1 Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer with respect to any suit, claim, or
proceeding brought against Buyer alleging that Buyer's use of the
Equipment constitutes an infringement of any United States patent or
copyright. Seller agrees to defend Buyer against any such claims and to
pay all litigation costs, reasonable attorney's fees, settlement payments
and any damages awarded in any final judgment arising from such suit,
claim or proceeding; provided, however, that Buyer shall promptly advise
Seller of any such suit, claim, or proceeding and shall cooperate with
Seller in the defense or settlement of such suit, claim or proceeding, at
Seller's expense, and provided Seller shall have sole control thereof.
10.2 In the event that an injunction is obtained against Buyer's use of
Equipment arising from such patent or copyright suit, claim or
proceeding, in whole or in part, Seller shall, at its option, either: (i)
procure for Buyer the right to continue using the portion of a System
enjoined from use; or (ii) replace or modify the same so that Buyer's use
is not subject to any such injunction.
10.3 In the event that Seller cannot perform under Section 10.2, Buyer shall
have the right to return such Equipment or portion thereof to Seller upon
written notice to Seller and in the event of such return, neither party
shall have any further liabilities
18
or obligations under this Agreement, except that Seller shall refund the
depreciated value of any such Equipment or portion thereof as carried on
the Buyer's books at the time of such return.
10.4 Seller's indemnity obligations under Section 10.1 shall not apply to
infringement claims (i) arising from any portion of the Equipment that is
manufactured to Buyer's design, (ii) arising from the use of the
Equipment in combination with any other apparatus or material not
supplied by Seller to the extent that the claims arise from such
combination usage, or (iii) alleging that method of use claims in such
patent are infringed by any service offering and/or by any use by Buyer
of Equipment furnished hereunder to make such service offering available
to the extent such service offering or use is not described by Seller in
its Specifications.
10.5 The foregoing states the entire liability of Seller for patent or
copyright infringement by the Equipment. Seller shall have no liability
whatsoever for any patent or copyright infringement arising from Buyer's
use of the OEM Equipment, and Seller makes no warranty with respect
thereto.
11. SOFTWARE LICENSE
11.1 With respect to Equipment containing Software acquired under this
Agreement and upon payment of the appropriate license fees as set forth

the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
19
12. SOFTWARE CHANGES
12.1 Software Upgrades will be provided by Seller at no charge to Buyer during
the Software Warranty Period.
12.2 Software Enhancement license fees shall be quoted by Seller at Buyer's
request and assume that Buyer's System is operating on Software at the
same level of maintainability as set forth in Section 12.4. Otherwise,
retrofitting features from a new Software Release onto Buyer's System
shall be considered and quoted by Seller on a case-by-case basis.
Additionally, future Hardware purchases may require the support of a
then-current Software Release. Buyer acknowledges that any Software
Enhancement may require the purchase of additional Hardware by Buyer.
12.3 In the event the Seller at any time issues a Software Upgrade which is
combined with any Software Enhancement (collectively the "Software
Combined Release") to such Software, the Software Combined Release will
be quoted by Seller at Buyer's request.
12.4 If Buyer elects to remain on a prior Software Release, Seller's sole
obligation hereunder shall be to make available maintenance for the
Software for the previous two consecutive releases from the then-current,
Seller-numbered release (i.e., numbered Software Release).
12.5 Buyer further acknowledges that the proper operation of the Equipment
and/or the availability of certain Optional Features is dependent upon
having the appropriate Software Release installed, as applicable, to the
Switch, BSC and/or BTS Equipment.
13. REMEDIES
13.1 In the event Buyer ceases to be an Additional Affiliate, Seller shall
have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement in its entirety
upon written notice to Buyer, provided, however, the parties may mutually
agree to modify the Agreement establishing new non-Additional Affiliate
prices, terms and conditions.
20
13.2 Seller shall have the right to suspend its performance under this
Agreement by written notice to the Buyer and forthwith remove and take
possession of any portion of the Equipment that has been delivered if
the Buyer, prior to payment to Seller of the Price, shall become
insolvent or bankrupt, make a general assignment for the benefit of, or
enter into any arrangement with creditors, file a voluntary petition
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, or have proceedings
under any such laws or proceedings seeking appointment of a receiver,
trustee or liquidator instituted against it which are not terminated
within thirty (30) days of such commencement. For the purposes of this
Section 13.2, the existence of a financing agreement between Buyer and
Seller and borrowings by Buyer as contemplated thereunder shall not
constitute "insolvency" as described hereinabove.
13.3 In the event of any material breach of this Agreement by either party
which shall continue for thirty (30) or more days after written notice
of such breach (including a reasonably detailed statement of the nature
of such breach) shall have been given to the breaching party by the
aggrieved party, the aggrieved party shall be entitled at its option:
13.3.1 if the aggrieved party is the Buyer, to suspend its performance under
Article 6 with regard to Equipment or Services affected by the breach of
the Agreement for so long as the breach continues uncorrected; or,
13.3.2 if the aggrieved party is Seller, to suspend performance of all of its
obligations under the Agreement for so long as the breach continues
uncorrected or;

remedies available at law or equity whether or not it elects to suspend
its performance under Subsection 13.3.1 or 13.3.2 as applicable.
13.4 NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 13.3, OR ANY OTHER PROVISION
OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER FOR ANY
ACTION OR INACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
13.5 Any action for breach of this Agreement or to enforce any right
hereunder shall be commenced within two (2) years after the cause of
action accrues or it shall be
21
deemed waived and barred (except that any action for nonpayment may be
brought at any time permitted by applicable law).
14. ACCEPTANCE TESTING
14.1 On completion of Installation of Equipment furnished and installed by
Seller, Seller shall provide Buyer five (5) days prior written
notification that such Equipment is ready for Commissioning. Following
such notification, Buyer agrees to have a representative present to
witness and acknowledge completion of such testing. Seller or Seller's
subcontractor, as applicable, shall test the Equipment in accordance
with its standard testing procedures to determine Equipment conformity
with the standards and specifications (hereinafter "Commissioning
Criteria") of the applicable Seller installation manuals, as may be
amended from time to time.
14.2 On the date that such Commissioning has been successfully completed,
Seller shall turn the Equipment over to Buyer ("Turnover"). On the date
of Turnover, Buyer shall complete and return to Seller the "Turnover
Notice" as described in Annex 3.

shall be deemed to constitute "Acceptance" of the Equipment:
14.3.1 Within ten (10) days following the date of Turnover, Buyer shall either
accept the Equipment in writing as provided in Annex 3, "Acceptance
Notice," or notify Seller in writing specifying in reasonable detail
those particulars in which the Equipment does not meet the Commissioning
Criteria. With respect to any such particulars, Seller shall promptly
proceed to take corrective action, and following correction, Buyer shall
accept the Equipment in writing.
14.3.2 The failure of Buyer to notify Seller within ten (10) days after
Turnover (or, in the case of correction, ten [10] days following such
correction) of any particulars in which the Equipment does not meet the
Commissioning Criteria, or the use by Buyer of the Equipment or any
portion thereof in revenue-producing service at any time, shall be
deemed Acceptance of such Equipment.
14.4 Acceptance of Equipment not installed by Seller shall be deemed to occur
upon receipt of and inspection by Buyer.
22
15. COVERAGE, INTERFERENCE AND THIRD-PARTY FACILITIES
15.1 Seller shall have no liability as a result of non-performance, failures
or poor performance of the System caused by, resulting from or
attributable to Buyer-provided designs, specifications or equipment
configuration requirements. Seller may rely upon and utilize any Buyer-
provided designs, studies, specifications or requirements, including but
not limited to microwave path studies, RF propagation studies and tower
location and loading requirements, without liability therefor.
15.2 Seller shall not be responsible for any failures or inadequacies of
performance resulting from equipment not supplied and installed by
Seller or Seller's agents or subcontractors pursuant to this Agreement.
Seller shall not be responsible for interference or disruption of
service caused by operation of other radio systems, lightning, motor
ignition or other similar interference. In the event Buyer utilizes
facilities or services supplied by others such as common carrier
circuits, antennas or towers, Buyer shall have the total responsibility
for the availability or adequacy of such services or facilities.
16. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
16.1 Seller shall furnish and install Equipment so that it shall comply in
all material respects with all Federal, State, and local laws and
regulations in force on the Effective Date of this Agreement, which
directly impose obligations upon the manufacturer, Seller, or installer
thereof.
16.2 The Prices set forth for the Equipment described herein are based on
Seller's design, manufacture, and delivery of the Equipment pursuant to
its design criteria and manufacturing processes and procedures in effect
on the Effective Date. If, as a result of the imposition of requirements
by any Federal, State or local government during the Term of this
Agreement there is a change in such criteria, processes or procedure or
any change in the Equipment, the Prices will be adjusted equitably to
reflect the added cost and expense of such change. Any such changes
shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, mandatory
compliance with Standards or government requirements.
17. CHANGES
23
17.1 Up to ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled Ship Date (or such later
time as is acceptable to Seller), Buyer may request Equipment
addition(s) or deletion(s) to an original Equipment configuration. All
such Equipment reconfigurations or changes to an applicable statement of
work or Project Schedule ("Changes") shall be subject to prior written
approval of Seller.
17.2 Except as provided in 17.3 below, all Changes shall be documented in a
written change order ("Change Order"), which shall be executed by Buyer
and returned to Seller prior to implementation of the requested Changes.
The Change Order shall detail any adjustments to the applicable Price,
statement of Work or Project Schedule as required by Seller for any
aspect of its performance under this Agreement.
17.3 Buyer understands and agrees that the Price is based on Seller's
providing the Services only as herein specified. Should any factors
(e.g., changed site conditions) cause an increase in the extent of
Services to be provided, Seller may, without liability, suspend
performance of such Services and request a Change Order to reflect the
increased costs of Seller's performance and/or Seller's performance of
additional Services. Upon Buyer's authorization, such Changes shall be
documented in a Change Order. Seller shall also be granted an equitable
extension in the time for performance due to the occurrence of any such
changed conditions or other factors outside Seller's control.
17.3.1 Seller shall have no liability for delays caused by or attributable to
obtaining FCC permits or other permits, certificates or applications
requiring approval of local, state or federal agencies or for delays
that occur due to Buyer's or Seller's or Seller's agent's inability to
obtain clear title to real estate, non-compliance with local
construction ordinances, or other similar obstructions relative to site
acquisition. All such delays shall be regarded as force majeure events
under Article 9 hereof.
17.3.2 Upon written request of Buyer for a Change that entails additional
Services totaling $10,000, or less, and upon written acceptance thereof
by Seller, Seller will proceed in good faith to implement such Change
prior to receipt of an executed Change Order. Within five (5) days
following Buyer's written request, the parties shall agree upon an
appropriate price for such Changes, all of which will be summarized in a
24
subsequent Change Order and executed by an authorized representative of
Buyer within fifteen (15) days following the date of the request for
Change.
17.4 Calculations for any Equipment reconfigurations prior to the Ship Date
shall be based on Prices set forth in Annex 1, provided that (i) any
additions shall include any necessary engineering, Installation and
testing charges and (ii) any deletions shall include applicable
discounts, and further provided that the net cumulative amount of
Changes shall not reduce the Price of a Purchase Order by more than ten
percent (10%).
17.5 Except for the Initial System Purchase Order described in Section 3.2
hereof, Buyer may elect to cancel, upon prior written notification to
Seller, subsequent Purchase Orders prior to shipment of Equipment
subject to the following:
17.5.1 Without charge, Buyer may cancel any such subsequent Purchase Order no
later than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest scheduled Ship Date;
or
17.5.2 If Buyer cancels any subsequent Purchase Order less than ninety (90)
days prior to the earliest scheduled Ship Date, Buyer shall pay a
cancellation charge of ten percent (10%) of the Price to Seller; or
17.5.3 If Buyer cancels any subsequent Purchase Order less than sixty (60) days
prior to the earliest scheduled Ship Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller a
cancellation charge of fifteen percent (15%) of the Price; or
17.5.4 If Buyer cancels any subsequent Purchase Order less than thirty (30)
days prior to the earliest scheduled Ship Date, Buyer shall pay to
Seller a cancellation charge of twenty percent (20%) of the Price.
17.5.5 Buyer may not cancel a Purchase Order subsequent to the Ship Date.
17.5.6 The payment of such charges as are described in this Section 17.5 shall
be Seller's sole remedy and Buyer's sole obligation for such canceled
Purchase Order(s).
18. CONDITION OF INSTALLATION SITE(S)
25
Buyer warrants that all Installation Site(s) are free from hazardous
substances and hazardous wastes as such terms are defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as
amended, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. In the event
that hazardous substances and/or hazardous wastes, as defined above, are
found to be present at the Installation Site, Seller shall be relieved of
all of its delivery and Installation obligations hereunder until such
contamination is removed. Delivery of any Equipment affected by such
contamination shall be managed in accordance with and subject to Article
7. In the event that Buyer fails or refuses to remove such contamination,
Seller shall have the right to remove the Equipment or portions thereof if
already delivered and relocate the Equipment to an alternate site provided
by Buyer and charge Buyer for (i) any additional delivery charges to the
new Installation Site, (ii) all materials expended at the site including
cabling, permanently affixed equipment, and those items which cannot
reasonably be removed for use elsewhere, (iii) specifically ordered items
requested by Buyer, and (iv) all labor and materials expended at the sites
relating to the relocation using Seller's then current rates.
19. RELEASE OF INFORMATION
19.1 Unless required by law, or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement,
Buyer and Seller agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall not be disclosed to any other party without the prior written
consent of the other; provided, however, that Seller may release
information to (i) Northern Telecom Ltd., its research and development
affiliates or any majority-owned subsidiaries of such companies on a need-
to-know basis and/or (ii) a subcontractor or potential subcontractor of
Seller for purposes of performance of this Agreement.
19.2 Neither Buyer nor Seller shall publish or use any advertising, sales
promotion, press releases or publicity matters relating to this Agreement
without the prior written approval of the other.
20. CONFIDENTIALITY
Buyer, Seller and Seller's affiliates shall receive in confidence from
each other all technical information, business information, documentation
and expertise which is either (i) stamped or otherwise marked as being
confidential or proprietary whether
26
in written or electronic form, or (ii) if delivered in oral form, is
summarized in a written memorandum within ten (10) days thereafter and
listed as being confidential ("Confidential Information") and shall not,
except as previously authorized in writing by the other party, publish,
disclose or make use of such information (except as required by law and
after notice to the other party), unless and until the Confidential
Information shall have ceased to be proprietary as evidenced by general
public knowledge or shall have been legally acquired by such party;
provided, however, that either party may provide such Confidential
Information, or portions thereof, to Sprint Spectrum as may be necessary
in connection with the build out of the Nationwide Network or the
performance of the activities contemplated by this Agreement. This
prohibition against disclosure, publication or use of Confidential
Information shall not restrict either party from developing similar
information in the exercise of its own technical skill, so long as such
other information is independently developed by such party without making
use of Confidential Information.
21. INTERCONNECTION
21.1 Buyer is given the option to purchase individual units of Equipment
hereunder, and Buyer understands that such units of Equipment purchased
hereunder do not necessarily provide Buyer with a complete System. In some
cases, Buyer may intend to interconnect the Equipment to equipment and
facilities for interconnection which may not have been purchased under
this Agreement. In the event that Buyer interconnects Equipment to
equipment not purchased under this Agreement, it is understood and agreed
that the making and maintaining of all necessary arrangements (whether
commercial, legal or otherwise) with the supplier of such equipment,
including not only arrangements necessary to permit the timely performance
by Seller of its responsibilities under this Agreement, (e.g., physical
and remote dial-up access for installation and services purposes), but
also any arrangements necessary for the ongoing operation of the equipment
in conjunction with the Equipment, shall be solely the responsibility of
Buyer, and failure by Buyer to timely make or maintain any necessary
arrangements shall not excuse Buyer from its obligations under this
Agreement. However, at Buyer's request and expense, Seller agrees to
assist Buyer in determining the cause of any problems, defects or failures
associated with the Equipment and isolate and correct any such problem,
defect or failure (even if such problem, defect or failure is caused by
the equipment
27
of another vendor) as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that
Seller shall not be required to repair or modify any such equipment unless
Seller has the ability, necessary resources and authorization from Buyer
and such other vendor to do so. Notwithstanding the preceding, Seller
makes no warranty, and shall have no responsibility whatsoever under this
Agreement, for the proper performance of equipment not purchased
hereunder, or for any failures of equipment not purchased hereunder
resulting from improper performance of the Equipment.
21.2 Buyer further acknowledges that Seller makes no warranty or
representations that the System or individual units of Equipment will
operate in conjunction with other vendor equipment. If Buyer wishes Seller
to conduct compatibility testing between Seller's Equipment and other
equipment not purchased from Seller, Buyer and Seller shall reach
agreement on the scope of such testing and charges associated therewith.

23.1 Buyer may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights hereunder to any
other party only with the prior written consent of Seller. No assignment
or sublicense of or under this Agreement, or of any rights under this
Agreement, by Buyer shall relieve Buyer of primary responsibility for
performance of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement. Seller reserves
the right to refuse to honor any assignment or sublicense which, in the
opinion of its legal counsel, would require Seller to violate
28
any United States export restriction, other law, or regulation. Seller
reserves the right to subcontract any portion of its obligation under this
Agreement, but no such subcontract shall relieve Seller of primary
responsibility for performance of Seller's obligations under this

23.5 Each party shall be liable for direct losses incurred by the other party
due to bodily injury or damage to tangible property, including the
Hardware, which results from the negligence of that party's employees or

any way increase Seller's obligation under this
29

Software. Except for bodily injury, the total liability of Seller for all
claims of any kind for any loss or damage, whether in contract, warranty,

carry out its obligations hereunder; (ii) the persons executing this
agreement on its behalf have express authority to do so, and, in so
doing, to bind the party thereto; (iii) the execution, delivery, and
performance of this Agreement does not violate any provision of any
bylaw, charter, regulation, or any other governing authority of the

has been duly authorized by all
30
necessary partnership or corporate action and this Agreement is a valid
and binding obligation of such party, enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
23.12 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Seller and the
Buyer with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
previous negotiations, proposals, commitments, writings, advertisements,
publications and understandings of any nature whatsoever. No agent,
employee or representative of Seller has any authority to bind Seller to
any affirmation, representation, or warranty concerning the System,
except as stated in this Agreement and unless such affirmation,
representation, or warranty is specifically included within this
Agreement, it shall not be enforceable by Buyer or any assignee or

2.0 SERVICES NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY
2.1 Seller will provide technical assistance free of charge during the
Warranty Period, as defined in the terms and conditions of the Supply
Agreement. Some situations may arise during this no-charge Warranty
Period that will result in a service request being considered as
billable. Such situations include, but are not limited to the
following:

3.0 PRIORITY CLASSIFICATION
3.1 The TAS Center offers a single point of contact to Buyer for assistance
in resolving problems which affect the technical operation of their
Switch Equipment.
TAS is available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week; therefore, the Service
Priority Classification System is designed to establish an
interrelationship between the problems and the appropriate level of
reaction and resolution. The system is based upon a problem's direct
or potential effect upon subscriber service.
System problems are assigned one of five priority levels as defined in
Northern Telecom Practices: "Northern Telecom Service Priority
Classification," or as such document may be revised from time to time.
4.0 CUSTOMER SERVICE REPORT (CSR) PROCEDURES
4.1 Buyer Responsibility
It is recommended that the Buyer arrange to have all Engineering and
Technical Support personnel attend specified training courses in order
to properly utilize existing documentation and diagnostic resources
required to ensure proper day to day operation of its Northern Telecom
Equipment. Buyer is expected to understand and determine all
engineering parameters and to use all locally available resources to
troubleshoot and isolate System problems prior to calling Seller TAS
for assistance; however, in emergency situations such as System
outages, TAS should be notified immediately.
Whatever the nature of the service call, the more completely the
trouble is described, the more efficiently the problem can be analyzed
and rectified.
When a service call is placed with TAS, the following information must
be provided;
. Indicate if the call is an emergency or not;
. Company name and Switch site location;
. Main telephone number;
. Contact name and telephone number;
4-3
. Hardware type;
. Detailed problem description.
After a service call is placed, Buyer site personnel must be available
to take direction from TAS to perform on-site activity required to
isolate and resolve the problem.
4.2 TAS Responsibility
a. Seller Normal Business Hours
Routine or Emergency Service calls are taken during normal
business hours (8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Central, M-F, except Seller
holidays).
A TAS representative "prime" will be assigned to assist Buyer and
will receive all requests for assistance directly from Buyer. If
the prime TAS representative is unavailable, a message may be
taken or the call may be referred to a secondary TAS
representative. TAS is committed to a same day reply to all
messages. Emergency calls are responded to immediately by the
first available TAS representative.
The TAS representative taking the service call will request the
required Buyer information, determine if the problem description
requires that a Customer Service Report (CSR) be opened (general
questions which do not require investigation may not need to be
formally documented by a CSR), determine the appropriate priority
classification, and respond according to the response objective
associated with that classification.
The TAS representative responsible for the CSR will prioritize all
assigned CSRs according to priority classification and will
resolve and close the CSR with the Buyer based on classification.
b. Outside Normal Business Hours
Emergency Service Only (E1, E2)
After-hours service calls are taken by an answering service. The
answering service will record the calling party name, company and
4-4
telephone number and will activate the emergency pager service to
page the designated TAS representative on-call. If there is no
response within five minutes, the answering service will begin
calling home phone numbers and pagers of TAS Managers and other
TAS representatives until contact is made. The responding Seller
representative will contact Buyer immediately and take appropriate
action to resolve the trouble. The service call will be formally
documented the next regular business day.
5.0 EMERGENCY SHIPPING SERVICE FOR REPLACEMENT HARDWARE
5.1 For requests received during Seller regular business hours 8:00 a.m. -
5:00 p.m. Central, Monday-Friday (excluding holidays), the surcharge
shall be $**** per request.
5.2 For requests received outside regular business hours (as defined

the Licensed Software, except for those resulting from those Buyer interactions
with the Licensed Software associated with normal use and explained in the
associated documentation; or
6.5 Attempt to reverse engineer, disassemble, reverse translate, decompile, or
in any other manner decode the Licensed Software, in order to derive the source
code form or for any other reason; or
6.6 Make full or partial copies of any documentation or other similar printed
or machine-readable matter provided with Licensed Software unless the same has
been supplied in a form by Nortel intended for periodic reproduction of partial
copies or except limited partial/copies of documentation for Buyer's internal
use only; or
6.7 Export or re-export the Licensed Software and/or associated documentation
from the fifty states of the United States and the District of Columbia.
7. Buyer may assign collectively its rights under this License to any
subsequent owner of the Hardware, but not otherwise, except that no such
assignment or sublicense may be made to a direct competitor of Nortel who
manufactures or sells wireless communications systems. No such assignment shall
be valid until Buyer shall delegate all of its obligations under the Agreement
to such party, and obtains from the assignee an unconditional written assumption
of all of such obligations, and Nortel consents, in writing, to such delegation
and assumption. Nortel shall not unreasonably withhold such consent. Upon
completion of such delegation and assumption Buyer shall transfer physical
possession of all Licensed Software (including all backup copies) to the
assignee. Except as provided, neither this License or any rights acquired by
Buyer through this License are assignable. Any attempted assignment of rights
and/or transfer of Licensed Software not specifically allowed shall be void and
conclusively presumed a material breach of this License.
8. If Nortel claims a material breach of this License and files an action in a
court of competent jurisdiction seeking relief, and a judge issues a court
order, or renders a judgment that there is a material breach of this License,
then Buyer shall be required to return the Software to Nortel or its
distributor. If Buyer fails to return such Software within five (5) working
days after the issuance of the court order or judgment, or in the case of
disclosure of the Software to anyone other than Buyer's employees or agents,
then Nortel shall have the right, without further notice, to temporarily
terminate Buyer's right to continue to possess and use the Software. If Nortel
elects to exercise that right, Nortel may enter upon the premises of Buyer
during regular business hours and take possession of, remove, and retain the
Software until such time as the court may order otherwise. For purposes of
obtaining injunctive relief hereunder Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed that
remedies available at law are not adequate to protect the interests of Nortel
and/or its suppliers, and to have consented to the equity jurisdiction of the
court.
9. IN NO EVENT WILL NORTEL AND/OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO OR THROUGH
BUYER FOR: (1) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL AND/OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR INTERRUPTION OF
BUSINESS) SUFFERED BY BUYER FOR ANY REASON; (2) ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY BUYER AS
A RESULT OF BUYER'S FAILURE TO LIVE UP TO BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT; (3) ANY CLAIM AGAINST BUYER BY ANY THIRD PARTY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY
KIND; ANY OR ALL OF WHICH ARISE FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY, USE, OR
PERFORMANCE OF SOFTWARE GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND EVEN IF NORTEL AND/OR
ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS. EXCEPT
