(2)	CELLCO PARTNERSHIP (d/b/a “Verizon Wireless”), a general partnership duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, having its principal place of business at One Verizon Way, Basking Ridge, New Jersey 07920 (“Secondment Company”).

RECITALS:

(A)	Vodafone has agreed to provide to the Secondment Company the services of the Employee on and subject to the terms of this Agreement (the “Secondment”).

(B)	Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized words and expressions herein shall bear the meanings given in Schedule 1.

IT IS AGREED, as follows:

1	The Services

1.1

Vodafone hereby agrees to make available to the Secondment Company the services of the Employee, with effect on and from the Effective Date for the Secondment Period, as set out in Schedule 1.

1.2

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed at any time to mean that the Employee is an employee of the Secondment Company or that an employer-employee relationship exists between the Secondment Company and the Employee.

1.3

The Secondment Company shall provide reasonable co-operation, information, data and support as necessary to enable the Employee to perform the services referred to in Schedule 2.

1.4

Vodafone shall have the right at any time without notice and (other than for personal injury or death caused by negligence) without liability to suspend the provision of services by the Employee during the period of any breach by the Secondment Company (including without limitation any failure to pay any sums when due) of the terms of this Agreement or the relevant Secondment Agreement or for any temporary incapacity of the Employee, or during any period of annual leave of the Employee previously agreed with the Secondment Company, but such suspension shall not affect the Secondment Company’s obligations under Clause 2.

2	Financial Provisions and Tax

2.1

In consideration of Vodafone making available to the Secondment Company the services of the Employee in accordance with Clause 1, the Secondment

Company will pay to Vodafone the Secondment Fee. The Secondment Fee will be calculated as set out in Schedule 1. All payments by the Secondment Company under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim or condition, and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secondment Company agrees with Vodafone (for itself and on behalf of the Employee) that the following costs included in the Secondment Fee shall either be paid directly by the Secondment Company to the applicable third parties entitled to payment for their provision of goods and/or services relating to such costs, or, in the event that the Employee has paid for such costs, reimbursed to the Employee by the Secondment Company:

2.2.1

the additional costs and expenses incidental to the Secondment as referred to in Schedule 1, under “Secondment Company Costs”;

2.2.2

all costs and expenses of business travel required to be undertaken by the Employee in performing the services pursuant to this Agreement, as reasonably incurred by the Employee during the Secondment Period and in accordance with the Secondment Company’s policies and regulations in this regard as notified by the Secondment Company to Vodafone and the Employee from time to time.

2.3

Vodafone will invoice the Secondment Company for the amounts referred to in Clause 2.1 in arrears and at the intervals agreed between Vodafone and the Secondment Company from time to time.

2.4

If this Agreement is terminated by mutual agreement for any reason, the parties shall bear severance payments as follows:

2.4.1

Vodafone and Secondment Company shall each bear 50% of severance payments up to an amount equal to 12 months total of compensation (as compensation is calculated under the laws of the United States and New Jersey.) Vodafone shall be responsible for any additional severance claimed under the laws of the United States and New Jersey if such claim is based either upon an actual or alleged employee agreement with Vodafone, or upon the Employee’s length of service with Vodafone and its affiliates (not including service with Secondment Company).

2.4.2

Secondment Company shall be responsible for any additional severance claimed under the relevant laws of the United States and New Jersey if such claim is based either upon an actual or alleged employee agreement with Secondment Company, or upon the Employee’s length of service (including secondment periods) with Secondment Company and its affiliates.

2.4.3

Secondment Company shall not, however, be liable for any severance or separation pay to the Employee if, while in the employ of Vodafone, the Employee is repatriated.

2.5

If this Agreement is unilaterally terminated by either Vodafone or the Secondment Company, the terminating party shall be solely responsible for bearing all severance or separation pay due to the Employee.

2.6

Payment by the Secondment Company of undisputed invoices referred to in Clause 2.3 is due within 45 days of the date of invoice unless otherwise agreed between the Secondment Company and Vodafone or the Employee as the case may be. Payment shall be made in such currency as may be agreed between the Secondment Company and Vodafone from time to time. All invoices for reimbursement of expenses shall include backup documentation to substantiate the invoice amounts.

2.7

If the Secondment Company fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Agreement on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at the Default Rate, as referred to in Schedule 1, which shall be an arm’s length rate as determined by Vodafone.

2.8

Vodafone shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or such similar taxes that may be payable in the territory of Vodafone shall not be chargeable in respect of the services to be provided under this Agreement. In the event that VAT or similar taxes shall be chargeable on the services, by reason of a secondment agreement between Vodafone and Vodafone Group Services Limited (“VGSL”) providing for the services of the Employee, the Secondment Company shall pay to Vodafone, on production of a valid invoice, such VAT or similar tax as is required by the relevant tax authorities to be accounted for by Vodafone or VGSL.

2.9

In the event that the Employee is entitled to reimbursement by Vodafone of some or all of the income or salary taxes imposed on his/her salary and benefits in kind and payable by the Employee, such reimbursement shall be treated as additional employee related costs of Vodafone.

2.10

Each payment to be made by the Secondment Company hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction of or withholding for or on account of tax, subject to Clause 2.9. The Secondment Company and Vodafone shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that withholding tax or such similar taxes that may be payable in the territory of the Secondment Company shall not be chargeable in respect of the services provided under this Agreement and, should the prevailing taxation treaty between the respective territories of the Secondment Company and VGSL permit payments for such services to be made free of withholding tax, the parties shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to obtain an exemption certificate from the relevant tax authority as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that US tax income withholding is required on Vodafone’s payment to VGSL, under a secondment agreement covering the Employee, Vodafone shall invoice such withholding tax to the Secondment Company.

2.11

If the Secondment Company is required by law to make any payment hereunder subject to the deduction or withholding of tax:

2.11.1

the Secondment Company shall provide to Vodafone such information as Vodafone shall reasonably require in order to substantiate the Secondment Company’s claim to be entitled to make the deduction or withholding as aforesaid; and

2.11.2

the Secondment Company shall pay such moneys deducted or withheld to the appropriate body within the appropriate time and shall forthwith provide to Vodafone the relevant tax receipt certificate or

such other documentation as shall prove to the reasonable satisfaction of Vodafone that such tax has been paid; and

2.11.3

Vodafone shall use its best endeavours to obtain, under the domestic taxation legislation of the territory of Vodafone, a tax credit or deduction in respect of the tax deducted or withheld; and

2.11.4

to the extent that Vodafone does not receive a tax credit or deduction (as referred to in Clause 2.11.3 in respect of such deduction or withholding of tax), the amount of the payment due from the Secondment Company shall be increased to an amount which after making any such deduction or withholding leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no deduction or withholding had been required.

2.12

The Secondment Company shall co-operate with Vodafone in Vodafone’s tax planning and compliance in relation to the matters contemplated in this Agreement including but not limited to, securing and delivering to Vodafone receipts and government approvals or other documents related to any payments made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as may reasonably be requested by Vodafone from time to time.

3	Obligations of the Parties

3.1

Vodafone and the Secondment Company shall retain and pay for their own respective immigration legal counsel, which counsel shall work together to obtain for the Employee at the commencement of the Secondment Period an entry visa of the type specified in Schedule 1 and any relevant work permits.

5.2

In the event either party is prevented from meeting its obligations due to any Force Majeure Event, it will notify the other party of the circumstances and use its reasonable endeavours promptly to remove the cause of the Force Majeure Event or the effects thereof and, pending resumption of its performance, shall keep the other party informed of developments. Where practicable, the other party will grant a reasonable extension of time to enable the performance of the obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event.
