As a sole exception, Clearwire may terminate all [*****] related Services ordered pursuant to the provisions of Schedules A and B herein for convenience upon a [*****] prior written notice and subject to the applicable provisions of Schedule D herein.

6.2.2

Termination for Force Majeure Event

If there is a delay or interruption of performance by Amdocs resulting from its experiencing a Force Majeure Event exceeds [*****] (the “Force Majeure Period”), then Clearwire may, at its option, either: (i) terminate this Agreement, by delivering to Amdocs a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date not less than [*****] after the date of the Termination Notice; and in the event of such a termination, Amdocs shall perform any mutually agreed upon Disentanglement Obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled; provided that, during the pendency of the Force Majeure Event, Amdocs shall perform any mutually agreed upon Disentanglement Obligations to the extent such obligations can be performed despite the Force Majeure Event; or (ii) engage an alternate provider (who shall be subject to the confidentiality requirements hereunder), on an interim basis, to perform the Services that Amdocs is unable to perform as a result of the Force Majeure Event until such time as Amdocs is able again to perform the Services in accordance with the terms hereof. Clearwire shall not be required to pay Amdocs any exit fee or other termination fees if Clearwire terminates this Agreement on the basis of a Force Majeure Event. If Clearwire delivers a Termination Notice to Amdocs as described in clause (i) above, and Amdocs is able to restore full performance of its obligations under this Agreement within [*****] after the date of the Termination Notice, then Clearwire shall revoke such Termination Notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties expressly agree that if as a result of a Force Majeure Event, Amdocs activates its Disaster Recovery Plan, so long as Amdocs performs its obligations under the Disaster Recovery Plan Clearwire may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.2.2.

6.2.3

Termination for Financial Instability

(a) If (i) Amdocs does not meet its undisputed material obligations, including judgments, to third parties as those obligations become due after a final judgment, (ii) Amdocs’ stock is involuntarily removed or delisted from a trading exchange due to the financial situation of Amdocs, Clearwire may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days notice to Amdocs and pay Amdocs fifty percent (50%) of any exit fee that would have applied if Clearwire elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2.1.

(b) Alternatively, if the events described in clause (a) above occur, Clearwire may submit the matter to the Steering Committee, which shall meet within ten (10) business days of the referral of the matter to the Steering Committee by Clearwire to determine whether such events shall give rise to the right for Clearwire to terminate this Agreement promptly on thirty (30) days notice without any requirement to pay Amdocs any exit fee or other termination fees If the Steering Committee determines that such events do give rise to a right to terminate pursuant to the alternative in this subsection (b), Clearwire may elect to exercise such right any time after such decision of the Steering Committee. If the Steering Committee determines that such events do not give rise to a right to terminate pursuant to the alternative in this subsection (b), then the matter shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 13.6. If the arbitration determines that such events do give rise to a right to terminate pursuant to the alternative in this subsection (b), Clearwire may elect to exercise such right any time after such decision of the arbitration. For avoidance of doubt, Clearwire may exercise its right to terminate pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) above at any time during or after the commencement of the processes described in this Section related to the determination of whether there exists a right to terminate pursuant to the alternative in this subsection (b).

Effect of Termination

For the avoidance of doubt, any termination under this Section 66.2 shall be effective with regard to Clearwire and any Subsidiary and/or Affiliate of Clearwire receiving Services under this Agreement, but shall not be effective with regard to any Subsidiary and/or Affiliate of Clearwire that has entered into its own agreement with Amdocs.

6.3

Termination for Cause

6.3.1

Critical Defaults

Section 4.3.5 hereof notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated by either Party at any time, by delivering a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date to the other Party if the other Party commits a Critical Default, provided that such Termination Date stated in any Termination Notice issued pursuant to this Section 6.3.1 shall be fifteen (15) days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a termination by Clearwire, Amdocs shall perform its Disentanglement Obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Termination shall not constitute a Party’s exclusive remedy for such a Critical Default, and such Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Critical Default. Clearwire shall not be required to pay Amdocs any exit fee or other termination fees if Clearwire terminates this Agreement for Critical Default. If Clearwire ends the Term as a result of a claimed Critical Default by Amdocs, and Amdocs disputes the termination and refers the matter to arbitration as provided in Section 13.6 of this Agreement, and it is determined by the Arbitrator that no Critical Default was committed, then the termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience, pursuant to Section 6.2.1, and Amdocs shall have all remedies available to it, in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof, in connection with such determination that no Critical Default was committed. For purposes of this Section 6.3, a “Critical Default” of Amdocs shall mean each of the defaults described in clauses (a), (d), (e) and (g) of Section 12.1.52 hereunder only; and a “Critical Default” of Clearwire shall mean the default described in clause (f) of Section 12.1.52 hereunder.

6.3.2

Material Defaults

In the event that Clearwire believes Amdocs has committed a Default described in clause (f) of Section 12.1.52 hereunder or either Party believes the other Party has committed a Default described in clause (c) of Section 12.1.52 hereunder (each referred to hereinafter as a “Material Default”), the Party asserting such Material Default shall provide the other Party with written notice of such claim, and within five (5) calendar days of the date of such notification the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 13.6. The purpose of such arbitration shall be to determine, assuming the truth of all claims of the Party asserting that such Material Default has been committed, whether the other Party’s failure or breach is “material” for purposes of clause (c) or (f) of Section 12.1.52, as the case may be. The Arbitrators shall make its initial determination of materiality, and if the Arbitrator confirms that the asserted failure or breach is “material,” then the Arbitrators must determine whether the asserted Material Default was in fact committed and was not cured within the applicable cure period therefore, if any (i.e., that the conditions of a Default under clause (f) or clause (c), as the case may be, of Section 12.1.52 were met). If the Arbitrators rule in favor of the Party asserting a Material Default, or the Arbitrators fail to render a determination on the question of whether the asserted Material Defect was in fact committed within six (6) months of submission for a ruling, then the Party asserting a Material Default shall

- 29 -


Customer Care and Billing Services Agreement		Confidential

have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending the other Party a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date shall be fifteen (15) days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date, and, in the event of such a termination, Amdocs shall perform any mutually agreed upon Disentanglement Obligations until they are fulfilled. If this Agreement is terminated by Clearwire pursuant to this Section 6.2.2, Amdocs shall refund all amounts paid by Clearwire subsequent to the expiration of any cure period contained in clause (c) or clause (f), as the case may be, of Section 12.1.52. Termination shall not constitute a Party’s exclusive remedy for a Material Default of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Arbitrator fails to issue a determination of damages within six (6) months after it makes a determination there was a Material Default, the Party asserting a Material Default may (a) terminate this Agreement by sending the other Party a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date shall be fifteen (15) days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice, and (b) immediately commence and maintain an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of determining and recovering damages against the other Party. Further, a Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to submitting the original notice of default, and Clearwire shall not be required to pay Amdocs any exit fee or other termination fees if Clearwire terminates the Term pursuant to this Section 6.3.2. The non-prevailing Party in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 shall be required to pay the arbitration costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, of the other Party.

6.3.3

Other Defaults

In the event that a Party commits an Other Default, the Party asserting the Other Default may, after providing written notice of such Other Default, submit the matter to the escalation procedures set forth in Section 4.3.5. If, as a result of such procedure, the Arbitrator rules in favor of the Party asserting an Other Default, then the Party asserting the Other Default shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date shall be fifteen (15) days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a termination by Clearwire, Amdocs shall perform its Disentanglement Obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Termination under this Section 6.2.3 shall not constitute a Party’s exclusive remedy for such an Other Default, and a Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Other Default. Clearwire shall not be required to pay Amdocs any exit fee or other termination fees if Clearwire terminates this Agreement for Other Default.

6.4

Extension of Services

Any time prior to expiration of the Term, or if Clearwire has delivered to Amdocs a Notice of Termination, any time prior to the applicable Termination Date, Clearwire may elect to extend the effective date of any such expiration or termination for up to [*****] periods of up to [*****] each. In order for such election to be valid, Clearwire must deliver written notice to Amdocs at least [*****] prior to expiration of the Term or the Termination Date, as applicable. During any extension period under this Section 6.4 all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply.

6.5

Transfer Assistance

The Parties may agree, prior to expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, on the provision by Amdocs of certain services related to the transition of any terminated Services to Clearwire or Clearwire’s designee, including but not limited to, after the Termination Date,

- 30 -

certain continuation of the Services or any component thereof. If applicable, Amdocs’ obligations with respect to such services shall be agreed in a dedicated Additional Services Order (“Disentanglement Obligations”). For the avoidance of doubt, without such dedicated Additional Services Order Amdocs shall not be considered to have any Disentanglement Obligations. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to such disentanglement Services, if any.

Irrespective of the passing of the Termination Date, Amdocs shall continue to perform, until their respective completion (or until Clearwire earlier directs Amdocs to cease performing), any Services relating to a subsequent Release Amdocs is performing as of the Termination Date, in accordance with the established schedule for such Release and at the Amdocs Rate. Amdocs shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any and all such Releases as soon after the Termination Date as possible. For a period of [*****] following the completion of any Release, Amdocs shall provide Services to Clearwire to facilitate the transition of such Release from Amdocs to Clearwire or Clearwire’s designee.

9.1

Indemnity by Amdocs and Clearwire

(a) By Amdocs. Amdocs shall defend, indemnify and hold Clearwire, its Affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (“Clearwire Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of any claim by any Third Party against a Clearwire Indemnitee for actual or alleged infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, or similar property right including misappropriation of trade secrets, (x) based upon the Amdocs Standard Materials, the Documentation, the Customized Materials, or any Third Party technology used by Amdocs in providing the Services (collectively, the “Services Technology”) or (y) to the extent that it is an Amdocs-Generated Claim. Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, Amdocs shall indemnify the Clearwire Indemnitees to the extent an infringement or claim of infringement could have been avoided by moving to a new release or version of the Third Party component of the Services Technology and Amdocs was offered the new release or version and did not move to same. Amdocs may, in its reasonable discretion, either procure a license to enable Clearwire to continue to use, or receive the benefit of, such Services Technology, develop or obtain a non infringing substitute reasonably acceptable to Clearwire or if the right to continue using the affected Services Technology cannot be procured using reasonable commercial efforts, or the affected Services Technology cannot be replaced or modified using reasonable commercial efforts, Amdocs shall grant Clearwire a credit based on the License Fee paid for the affected Services Technology as depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of five (5) years and the license to use the Services Technology shall be terminated. Amdocs’ duty to indemnify Clearwire shall be mitigated and reduced (i.e. shall not exist for the specific claim(s) meeting one or more of the following criteria) but only to the extent that a claim or action is based upon: (i) unauthorized modification of the Services Technology by Clearwire, any Third Party contractor to Clearwire, or any agent of Clearwire, but only to the extent that the claim or action would not have arisen but for the unauthorized modification, unless such modification (whether made by Clearwire or any such contractor or agent) has been authorized in advance by Amdocs; (ii) Clearwire’s combination, operation or use (including as part of a larger business method or process) of the Services Technology with other apparatus, data or programs, not provided by Amdocs, but only to the extent that the claim or action would not have arisen but for such combination, operation or use; (iii) the use by Clearwire of any software provided to Clearwire by any Third Party other than in accordance with relevant software licenses whether or not such license agreements are provided to Amdocs; (iv) the use by Amdocs, in accordance with the applicable license agreement, of software owned by or licensed to Clearwire by a party other than Amdocs and supplied by Clearwire to Amdocs but only to the extent that the claim or action would not have arisen but for the use of such Third Party software; (v) any exact specifications, instructions, requirements, procedure, style, or graphic that Clearwire requires Amdocs to follow or use in developing the Customized Product but only to the extent that the claim or action would not have arisen but for Amdocs using such Clearwire required specifications, instructions, requirements, procedure, style or graphic (such requirements, the “Clearwire Requirements”) (the occurrences set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above, the “Clearwire-Generated Claims”). For the avoidance of doubt, the exception from Amdocs’ indemnification obligation described in clause (v) shall not apply, and such occurrence shall not constitute a Clearwire-Generated Claim, with respect to claims or actions (i) based upon the manner or methodology selected by Amdocs to execute the Clearwire Requirements or (ii) for which Amdocs has not provided Clearwire with written notice documenting the exact procedure, style or graphic that Amdocs is alleging meets the requirements of clause (v) and is the basis for Amdocs’ claim that its indemnification obligations under this clause (a) do not extend to a particular action or claim for which a Clearwire Indemnitee is seeking indemnification under this clause (a).

(b) By Clearwire. Clearwire shall defend, indemnify, and hold Amdocs, its Affiliate, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (“Amdocs Indemnitees”), harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of, any claim by any Third Party against an Amdocs Indemnitee for actual or alleged infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, or similar property right including misappropriation of trade secrets: (x) based upon software that is proprietary or non-proprietary to Clearwire that Clearwire requires Amdocs to use in performing the Services (“Clearwire Software”) (if any); or (y) to the extent that it is a Clearwire-Generated Claim. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, Clearwire shall indemnify the Amdocs Indemnitees to the extent an infringement or claim of infringement could have been avoided by moving to a new release or version of the infringing Clearwire Software and Clearwire was offered the new release or version and did not move to same. Clearwire may, in its reasonable discretion, either procure a license to enable Amdocs to continue to use any such infringing Clearwire Software or any Clearwire Requirements or develop or obtain a non infringing substitute or modify Clearwire’s requirements so as to no longer require Amdocs to use the Clearwire Software or any Clearwire Requirements in performing the Services. Clearwire’s duty to indemnify shall be mitigated and reduced (i.e. shall not exist for the specific claim(s) meeting one or more of the following criteria) but only to the extent that a claim or action is based upon: (i) unauthorized modification of any software, program or machine by Amdocs, any Third Party contractor to Amdocs, or any agent of Amdocs (other than pursuant to the Clearwire Requirements, but including the manner or methodology selected by Amdocs to execute the Clearwire Requirements) but only to the extent that the claim or action would not have arisen but for the unauthorized modification; (ii) Amdocs’ combination, operation, or use of any Clearwire supplied software with apparatus, data, or programs not provided by Clearwire but only to the extent that the claim or action would not have arisen but for the combination, operation or use; (iii) the use by Amdocs of any software provided to Amdocs by any Third Party other than in accordance with relevant software licenses whether or not such licenses are provided to Clearwire; or (iv) the use, in accordance with the applicable license agreement, of software owned by or licensed to Amdocs by a party other than Clearwire and supplied by Amdocs to Clearwire but only to the extent that the claim or action would not have arisen but for the use of such software by Clearwire (the occurrences set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, the “Amdocs-Generated Claims”).

local taxing authority relating to federal, state, or local sales or transaction taxes that Clearwire has failed, or allegedly failed, to collect, if such failure or alleged failure is due to a mistake in billing caused by Amdocs in the course of its performance hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall Amdocs be required to indemnify Clearwire if such failure or alleged failure is due to errors inherent in the coding of the Vertex software program or an error by Clearwire and not due to an act or failure to act of Amdocs. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the indemnity described in this Section 9.2 is being provided on the basis of Amdocs’ use of the Vertex software program in performing the Services.
