ARTICLE VIII
DISPUTES AND REMEDIES

8.1 Notice of Breach and Opportunity To Cure. No breach of this Agreement, including without limitation a breach of warranty hereunder, shall be actionable by either Party unless such Party has, as an express condition precedent to commencing such an action or proceeding, provided written notice to the Party in breach specifying the breach in reasonable detail and providing the Party in breach an amount of time to cure such breach (if reasonably capable of cure) as provided below, and the Party in breach fails to cure the breach within such notice period.

8.2 Termination For Cause. In the event either Party to this Agreement shall be in material breach of this Agreement (other than for nonpayment which is governed by Section 8.3 and ARTICLE VI) and (i) where EUROPHONE is the breaching Party, it fails to substantially cure such breach within seventy (70) days after its receipt of a written notice specifying the details of the breach, and (ii) where Client is the breaching Party, it fails to substantially cure such breach within thirty (30) days after its receipt of a written notice specifying the details of the breach or, (iii) with respect to any material breach capable of cure which cannot reasonably be cured within the cure periods specified in subsections (i) and (ii) above, should the breaching Party fail to proceed within the applicable cure period specified in subsections (i) and (ii) above to commence curing the breach and thereafter to proceed with all due diligence to cure the breach, the Party not in breach of this Agreement may terminate this Agreement by giving prompt written notice of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client understands that EUROPHONE obtains its hardware and time related services from third parties, and that breach or failure by such parties to provide services or hardware to EUROPHONE shall be an additional and valid defense to any claim asserted against EUROPHONE for damages caused by such breach or failure.

8.3 Termination For Nonpayment. In the event Client fails to pay all amounts due EUROPHONE in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then EUROPHONE may terminate this Agreement by providing Client with written notice of termination; provided, however, that in the event that the disputed amount is greater than 15%, then, undisputed amount shall be paid immediately, with the disputed amount placed in escrow with an escrow agent determined by the parties in good faith.

8.6 Dispute Resolution. This Section 8.6 governs any dispute, disagreement, claim or controversy between Client and EUROPHONE arising from or related to this Agreement (a “Disputed Matter”). All Disputed Matters shall be referred jointly to senior executives of each of the Parties.

(a) Arbitration: Any and all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or in connection with this letter or the breach, termination, validity thereof, or the work performed hereunder shall be settled by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") rules as presently in force. The appointing authority shall be the AAA. The arbitration shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators. Each party shall name one arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be named by the appointing authority. If one of the arbitrators is unable to serve, due to death, disability or other reason, the party appointing said arbitrator shall appoint a replacement arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be in New York; provided, however, that EUROPHONE shall have the right to consolidate any arbitration hereunder with any arbitration proceeding involving a EUROPHONE third party supplier (including a EUROPHONE subcontractor), and in such event, the place of arbitration shall be in such venue in the United States called for in the arbitration proceeding with which this instant proceeding has been consolidated. The award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars, free of any tax or other deductions. The award may include interest from the date of any breach or other violation of this Agreement. The arbitrators shall fix the appropriate rate of interest from the date of the breach or other violation to the date that the award is paid in full. In no event, however, should the interest rate during such period be lower than the prime commercial lending rate for favored borrowers published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal. The parties may stipulate whether discovery will be limited or broad ranging. If the parties fail to so stipulate, the appointing authority will determine the method of discovery that will be used. Parties may introduce expert witnesses and take at least three depositions of one another. The arbitration panel possesses broad authority to issue interim measures of protection. All notices to be given in connection with the arbitration shall be in writing.


ARTICLE X
ERROR CORRECTION, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

10.1 Error Correction. Client shall be responsible for the data, information and input supplied to EUROPHONE by Client or on behalf of Client. EUROPHONE shall have no liability of any kind with regard to errors that are attributable to incorrect data, information or input supplied to EUROPHONE by Client or on behalf of Client. With regard to errors which are caused solely by an error of EUROPHONE or its service provider(s), Client shall provide written notice to EUROPHONE of such error and (i) for reports run on a daily basis, EUROPHONE shall only be required to retroactively reprocess such reports if Client first reports such error to EUROPHONE within two (2) days of Client’s first receipt of output from EUROPHONE that evidences the error; (ii) for reports run on a weekly basis, EUROPHONE shall only be required to retroactively reprocess such reports if Client first reports such error to EUROPHONE within six (6) days of Client’s first receipt of output from EUROPHONE that evidences the error; and (iii) for reports run on a monthly basis, EUROPHONE shall only be required to retroactively reprocess such reports if Client first reports such error to EUROPHONE within twenty (20) days of Client’s first receipt of output from EUROPHONE that evidences the error. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a report shall be considered “daily,” “weekly,” or “monthly” based on the frequency with which the report is actually run for Client, and not on the basis of the report’s classification generally. In the event that EUROPHONE, through no fault of Client, has mistakenly calculated the rates applicable to Client’s Subscriber base, or has otherwise printed materially erroneous information on Client’s bills to its Subscribers, and the bill cycle processing for the following month has not already been completed by EUROPHONE, then EUROPHONE shall correct the miscalculation or the error and reprocess the relevant billing data within seven (7) days after such error is brought to the attention of EUROPHONE. Otherwise, EUROPHONE will alert Client to the problem and mutually agree on the remedial action that EUROPHONE will take without additional expense to Client provided that such report shall be completed within thirty (30) days after such error is brought to the attention of Client.

(c) Indemnity Procedure. The obligations to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless included in this Agreement shall not apply to the extent the indemnified Party was responsible for giving rise to the matter upon which the claim for indemnification is based and will not apply unless the indemnified Party (i) promptly notifies the indemnifying Party of any matters in respect of which the indemnity may apply and of which the indemnified Party has knowledge (provided that the failure to provide such prompt notice shall not relieve a Party of any obligation under this Section not materially affected by such failure); (ii) gives the indemnifying Party full opportunity to control the response thereto and the defense thereof, including any agreement relating to the settlement thereof, provided that the indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim or action without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (iii) cooperates with the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s cost and expense in the defense or settlement thereof.

2.4.4 All equipment must be OTAPA and OTASP-capable.
 
COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTY OR PRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONCERNING THE SUITABILITY, DURABILITY, FITNESS FOR USE, MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION OR QUALITY OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT ARE CERTIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND IT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE.   
 
2.5 FORECAST/MDN INVENTORY MANAGEMENT. IR shall submit activation forecasts so that MDN’s can be requested from the Carrier in the areas where IR is selling service. The Carrier will fulfill orders in a reasonably expedient manner consistent with its then current practices; provided; however, that Carrier’s obligation to provide MDNs is subject to the availability of the MDNs and the capacity of the Carrier facilities, and Carrier has no obligation to construct additional facilities or otherwise provide additional capacity. To the extent IR does not provide this forecast, or if the forecast provided is materially inaccurate, it may cause a delay in the provision of the MDNs to IR. Company shall have no liability for capacity limitations of facilities or MDN shortages. Information disclosed by IR in the forecast provided pursuant to this section shall be confidential information of IR. It is IR’s obligation to obtain information about MDN ‘jeopardy” markets. Such information may be obtained in the NANPA website (www.nanpa.com).
 
2.5.1 In order to request new MDNs in a Rate Center (defined as a geographically specified point for determining mileage sensitive rates for PSTN calls), IR must meet a utilization threshold of 75% of End Users compared to the total MDNs issued (the “Utilization Threshold”). With regard to Rate Centers located in states that require different or higher Utilization Thresholds, the state-mandated Utilization Threshold will apply. The Carrier will not issue additional MDNs within a Rate Center until the applicable Utilization Threshold is met. In the event the Carrier is required to meet additional state or Federal MDN management requirements, the Carrier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Company and IR of any such requirements; provided however, that Carrier’s failure to notify Company and IR shall not exempt IR from compliance with such requirements.
 
2.5.2 All numbers used by IR will reside in the Carrier-owned Home Location Register (“HLR”) database(s) in the Carrier facilities. IR acknowledges and agrees that each Number represents a unit of access to the Carrier facilities in a particular portion of a designated Territory and that neither IR nor an End User shall acquire any proprietary interest in any specific Number assigned for their use. IR acknowledges and agrees that IR does not own the Numbers and that the Carrier reserves the right, upon reasonable advanced written notice to IR, to assign, designate, or change any such Number in its discretion, or as required by the applicable numbering authority or other authority, agency, or Person with jurisdiction over such numbering assignments. Pursuant to applicable law, End Users may acquire a proprietary interest in the MDN.
 
2.6. INTERFERENCE. If IR or one or more End Users interferes, permits, or causes interference with the Carrier facilities or systems, or the use of an MDN assigned to an End User or IR may cause interference, in Carriers sole discretion, upon discovery of any such abuse by an End User or from an MDN by either of the parties, the party having such knowledge shall promptly notify the other party. In the event the interference is caused by, or suspected to be caused by an End User, IR shall immediately order the End User to cease from engaging in such act(s) of interference. To the extent such interference continues despite the above, Carrier shall have the right to discontinue IR service to that End User or the MDN assigned thereto and/or deny IR’s access, and Carrier shall provide Company, and Company will in turn provide to IR, with written notification of such discontinuance immediately thereafter. IR shall assist Company in taking all actions necessary to prevent further interference.
 

 
29

 


 
2.7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. IR represents, warrants, and covenants: (a) that it shall comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and any governmental rule, regulation or ordinance including, but not limited to, all FCC regulations and rules; and (b) that all functionality provided by IR does and will comply in all respects with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (“CALEA”).
 
2.7.1 The Carrier may modify this Agreement to comply with any final FCC opinion, order, directive, rule or regulation adopted by the FCC related to resale practices; provided that IR may terminate this Agreement if such modification materially and adversely affects IR’s ability to perform hereunder or if a material term or condition is changed in this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of any such modification by giving Company thirty (30) days written notice.
 
2.8 FINANCIAL PROTECTIONS. In order to protect Company and Carrier from consequences of IR’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to IR’s obligation to pay Company in accordance with this Agreement, IR may be requested to provide Company or Carrier with an irrevocable Letter of Credit and/or deposit, as more fully described in this Section. All Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement must remain valid until (a) six (6) months after this Agreement expires, or is terminated, provided, in either case, that all related charges are paid to Company in full, or (b) Company, in its sole discretion, notifies IR in writing that such Letter of Credit may expire. IR acknowledges that the provisions of this Section are reasonably required by Company and Carrier to secure the performance of IR’s obligations under this Agreement and to protect Company and Carrier in the event that IR breaches any such obligation. The provisions of this Section are independent of, and in addition to, such rights and remedies as Company may have at law or in equity or otherwise for any misrepresentation or breach of this Agreement by IR.
 
2.8.1 The Letter of Credit shall be from a bank or other financial institution that is acceptable to Company.
 
2.8.2 Company’s failure to request that IR provide a Letter of Credit upon implementation shall not operate as a waiver of the requirement, and IR shall provide such Letter of Credit within fifteen (15) days of Company notifying IR of such requirement.
 
2.8.3 The amount of the Letter of Credit shall be determined by the Carrier. In the event that Carrier demands a Letter Of Credit, Company will provide written notification to IR of the required increase in the Letter of Credit and IR shall have thirty (30) days to comply.
 
2.8.4 IR shall provide Company a deposit equal to five (5) days average subscriber usage as calculated from the previous months’ total billing. IR shall have thirty (30) days to comply with any request for an increase in the deposit amount.

ARTICLE III
 
OBLIGATIONS OF COMPANY
 
  3.1. CARRIER SERVICE. Subject to the terms, limitations and conditions set forth herein, the underlying Carrier shall provide service to the IR in the designated Territories. If the Carrier divests in any of the Territories or loses it FCC license to provide such service, the Carrier shall provide IR notice of such divestiture or loss and Carrier‘s obligations hereunder shall cease with respect to such affected Territory.
 

 
30

 


 
3.2. ROAMING SERVICE. IR hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company or Carrier is not responsible for the billing practices, service charges or ultimate availability of Roaming from Roaming Carriers, and Company and Carrier are not obligated to provide CMRS, GSM and/or Data Service in areas where Carrier does not have an FCC license, has not entered into a Roaming Agreement, or loses its Roaming Agreement. Carrier agrees, however, to make Roaming available to IR in any MSAs, MTAs, RSAs or BTAs in which Carrier has Roaming agreements, subject to Company’s current PRL. IR shall pay Company for roaming charges incurred on MDNs assigned to IR in accordance with this agreement.
 
3.3. CARRIER SERVICE OUTAGES. Subject to the terms set forth herein, a credit allowance will be made, at the IR’s request, in the form of a prorate adjustment of the recurring charges billed by the Carrier for a period of total Carrier service outage in the Territory that exceeds twenty-four (24) consecutive hours. Such credit allowance shall be IR’s sole remedy and compensation for any such outage. For other than a total Carrier service outage, a credit allowance, at rates for monthly access outlined in the Master Service Agreement, will only be given to the IR for time actually credited to End Users by IR who are unable to use service due to a service-affecting interruption in excess of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours. Any credit granted by the Carrier will be passed on to Reseller when Company has received the credit from the Carrier.
 
In the event the IR or an End User is affected by such interruption for a period of less than twenty-four (24) continuous hours, no such adjustment shall be made. No adjustments shall be allowed for accumulating periods of discontinuous interruption. IR’s request for credit must be received by the Company in writing within ten (10) days following the end of the period of interruption that qualifies for a credit. The credit allowance for a service outage will be computed by dividing the duration of the service affecting interruption (measured in days from the time the interruption is reported to and confirmed by Company) by thirty (30) and multiplying the result by Company’s monthly recurring charges for each interrupted MDN. In no case shall the credit exceed the recurring charges for that period. No other liability shall attach to Company as a result of such interruption to service. No credit allowance will be given for interruptions caused by the negligence or willful act of the IR or its End User, for failures or communication between Company and Reseller, power outages or other occurrences considered force majeure, or for interruptions caused by failure or equipment or service not provided by Company.
 

 
ARTICLE IV
 
RATES, CHARGES, FEES AND OTHER
 
  4.1 RATES, CHARGES, FEES AND OTHER AMOUNTS. In consideration for the Company Service and Roaming to be provided hereunder, IR shall pay Company the rates for CMRS, GSM and/or Data Service as set forth in the Master Service Agreement.
 
4.2 COMPANY’S RIGHT TO MODIFY RATES, CHARGES, FEES AND OTHER AMOUNTS. IR hereby acknowledges and agrees that the underlying Carrier may change, terminate, adjust, and/or modify, any and all of its rates, charges, fees, tables, charts, discounts, and/or the qualification requirements (if any, for such items) upon thirty (30) days notice to Company and Company has the right to pass through those changes to the IR. IR acknowledges and agrees that any such change, termination, adjustment and/or modification shall apply to all MDNs to which IR has made available to the respective MDN the affected rate plan and that no such MDNs shall be permitted to remain on such changed, terminated, adjusted or modified plan, except as expressly provided by Company in the notice required under this Section 4.2. If the change in rates, charges or fees is materially adverse to IR, IR may terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice by providing thirty (30) days written notice of termination to Company. If Company does not receive such written notice within the thirty (30) day period, IR shall be deemed to have accepted such changes.

4.3 CALCULATION FOR COMPANY SERVICE. Company shall charge IR for Company Service in accordance with the following practices. All data airtime is rounded up to the next full minute per transmission by an MDN with respect to IS95A Data, and all data usage with respect to EVDO Service and/or 1X Service will be rounded up to the nearest kilobyte on a monthly basis per MDN. All monetary charges will be rounded up to the nearest cent per month per MDN. Charges for each Data Service session typically begin when End User presses or clicks the “SEND” or “Connect” button for the Data Service session at the user interface. Charges typically end when the Equipment disconnects from the Facilities, which may be a few seconds after the End User presses or clicks the “END” or “Disconnect” button or the session or call is otherwise disconnected. In the event (a) during an IS95A Data session, and End User travels outside the Territory or the connection to the Facilities of Company or a Roaming Carrier are otherwise temporarily unavailable, or (b) during an EVDO Service and/or 1X Service session, an End User travels outside the EVDO Footprint and/or the Territory or the connection to the Company Facilities is otherwise temporarily unavailable; and such End User referenced in (a) or (b), as applicable, successfully continues with such Data Service session after returning within five (5) minutes, the End User will be billed for the entire length of such Data Service session and/or airtime from start/connect to end/disconnect.
 
4.3.1 Chargeable time for a completed call received by an MDN begins when the call is answered and ends when the Equipment disconnects from the Facilities, which may be a few seconds after the “END” button is pressed or the call is otherwise disconnected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some Territories and unanswered call that rings for sixty (60) seconds or more will be billed. The charges for Company CMRS are based on per minute usage and any usage is rounded up to the next minute when fractional minutes are used by the IR or End User. The rates charged in the designated Territories are set for in the Master Service Agreement.
 
   4.4 BILLING SERVICES. Company shall make available access to the invoice via the System, within thirty (30) days of the end of each billing cycle. Company shall not be liable for any inaccuracies in the charges to IR or other inaccuracies over which the Company has no control. Company will reasonably cooperate with IR’s legitimate efforts to correct any such inaccuracies. IR expressly acknowledges that some charges incurred in a billing cycle may not appear on the Invoice for such billing cycle and that such charges will appear on the subsequent Invoices. IR is responsible for payment of any and all charges that all delayed or appear on subsequent Invoices. If any Invoice is not available to Company to access within five (5) business days after the customary availability date established by previous availability dates, Company shall notify the Carrier immediately. Company will notify the Carrier of any physical defects in the Invoice within ten (10) days of such download by Company.
 
  4.4.1 IR shall pay any amount due and payment for any amounts due contained in an Invoice or otherwise owed to Company hereunder shall be due in United States Dollars no later than the due date specified in such invoice. IR has no right to offset or withhold any amounts from Company, including, without limitation, any disputed item. Any amounts required to be paid hereunder will be deemed paid when received, subject to collection, at the location designated by Company on the Invoice being paid.
 
  4.4.2 If IR disputes any part of any invoice, IR must provide Company with written notice of the dispute containing a detailed description of the request for each specific item disputed within sixty (60) days of the Invoice date. If IR fails to provide Company with such written notice of the dispute within sixty (60) days of the Invoice date, then Company shall not be obligated to investigate or revise the Invoice and IR waives any rights to such disputed items. Upon receipt of any properly documented dispute, Company will forward such dispute to the Carrier, and the Carrier has sixty (60) days to provide Company with any response in connection with a disputed item. Any amount due Company by IR which is not paid in full by the due date shall be subject to a late payment charge equal to the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law from the due date thereof until paid (the “Late Fees”).
 
  4.5 TARIFFS. In the event that the Company Service provided pursuant to this Agreement or the rates or other charges set forth in the Master Service Agreement become subject to any federal, state, or local regulation, then the parties shall work together to address any conflicting terms and conditions in effect under such regulation.

ARTICLE V
 
COMPANY AND CARRIER MARKS
 
5.1 IR hereby acknowledges that the Carrier names, logos, trademarks, and service marks are the sole property of the Carrier and/or their affiliates, and are good, valid, and enforceable in law and equity.

The approved language is as follows: Service is provided on the Verizon Wireless network.
 
5.4 Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, IR shall have no right to continue any use of Carrier Marks to the extent it was expressly granted permission to do so hereunder.
 
5.5 IR shall fully indemnify and hold harmless Carrier and Company from any and all claims, losses, damages or other expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) that arise or result from IR’s unauthorized use of a Mark.
 
5.6 A breach by IR under this Section shall constitute immediate and irreparable injury to Carrier and Company not compensable in money damages and shall warrant preliminary and other injunctive and equitable relief upon a showing satisfactory to the court to which an application for relief may be made of the failure to carry out such obligation.
 
5.7  All marketing materials presented to the customer, including the website, must identify the Reseller as “powered by” or other form of designation, which makes it clear to the customer that service is provided by the Reseller rather than the Carrier.
 

 
ARTICLE VI
 
WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
 
6.1 NO WARRANTY. COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE FACILITIES, SYSTEMS, OR THE CMRS AND/OR THE DATA SERVICE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE.

Company shall not be liable for, and IR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Company from, any and all damages, claims, actions, losses, liabilities and other expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (“Losses”) that may arise out of third party claims brought against Company to the extent such Losses result from: (i) any action brought by a service provider of IR or End User in connection with Reseller’s resale of Company Service, the Equipment or IR’s End User contract (including personal injury), (ii) any libel, slander, or infringement of copyright arising from the material transmitted over the Facilities by IR or End Users, (iii) any infringement of copyrights, patents or intellectual property rights arising from or in connection with the Equipment when used with the Facilities by IR or by an End User, (iv) any breach or violation of this Agreement by IR, (v) any breach of any of the representations made by IR in this Agreement, or (vi) any act or omission of Reseller in connection with IR’s use or resale of CMRS, GSM and/or Data Service pursuant to this Agreement. The rights of Company under this Section 9.2 are independent of, and in addition to, such rights and remedies Company may have at law or in equity or otherwise, including the right to seek specific performance, rescission, or restitution.
 
6.3 NO LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL COMPANY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO IR OR ANY END USER FOR ANY CAUSES OF ACTION, LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING OUR OF (i) MISTAKES, OMMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, ERRORS, OR DEFECTS IN FURNISHING CMRS AND/OR DATA SERVICE, OR (ii) FAILURES OR DEFECTS IN FACILITIES OR SYSTEMS.
 
6.3.1 Company shall have no liability or obligation to IR with respect to any loss suffered by IR in connection with or arising from the acts or omissions of any Roaming Carrier for any reason, including the failure or, or defect in, any Facilities relating to the delivery of CMRS, GSM and/or Data Service.
 
6.4 FACILITY MODIFICATIONS. IR acknowledges that CMRS, GSM or Data Service is a rapidly changing industry and technology and as such Company shall not be liable to IR or to the IR’s End Users if changes in any of the Facilities, Systems, operations, equipment, procedures, or service render obsolete any Equipment, service, software and/or applications provided by IR to End Users in conjunction with use of the Carrier service.
 
6.5 PRIVACY AND SECURITY OF COMPANY SERVICE. IR acknowledges neither Company, Carrier nor its Affiliates can guarantee privacy or security of any transmission, including conversations and/or data transmission through the use of Carrier service.
 
6.6 CAPACITY LIMITATION. The parties recognize that unusual concentrations of Carrier service usage may occur in certain locations. Carrier nor Company shall incur no liability for its inability to provide inadequate service hereunder if such liability is due to a lack of capacity on the Company or Carrier Facilities which results from the aforesaid usage concentration, and nothing herein shall require Carrier to expend any capital or resources to ensure capacity for IR’s or its End Users’ use of Carrier service.
 
6.7 POST TERMINATION/EXPIRATION OBLIGATIONS. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, IR shall remain solely responsible for its obligation to End Users existing immediately prior to termination and for all charges incurred by IR or its End Users for CMRS and/or Data Service and Roaming.

6.7.2 In the event of termination of this Agreement, Company is not obligated to ensure that any End User is able to continue to utilize Company Service or to transfer the End User’s MDN, except for termination by the IR in which IR is still using Company billing system, in which case Company will work with Carrier to transfer the MDNs to the new agreement. As transfer of MDNs from one contract to another requires approval and participation of the Carrier, Company cannot guarantee Carrier’s willingness or timeliness to make such transfer.
 
6.8 DISCONNECTING END USERS. In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement, Company may route IR’s End Users to a Company generated recording (or other message delivery system) advising that:
 
6.8.1 End Users’ MDNs are disconnected; and
 
6.8.2 That any requests regarding prior services and/or the disconnection should be directed to IR.
 
In such event, IR hereby releases and holds harmless Company and Carrier from any and all claims and causes of action that may arise from such communications with End Users.
