Each Party shall at all times keep in trust and confidence all Proprietary Information of the other Party and, during the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years after its termination, shall not use such Proprietary Information other than in the course of performing its duties under this Agreement nor shall it disclose any such Proprietary Information to any third party without the written consent of the other.

TERM AND TERMINATION. 10.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in force for a period of three (3) years from the date of the first shipment unless earlier terminated as provided in this Section 10. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms unless a Party provides written notice to the other Party no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then current term of such Party's intent not to renew. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, the license granted in Section 3.1 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement for reasons other than for breach by the CUSTOMER of Section 3.2 or intentional violation of Section 9. 10.2 Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party for cause immediately upon receipt of written notice upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) if the other Party ceases to do business, or otherwise terminates its business operations; provided, however, that the acquisition of all or substantially all of a Party's stock, assets or business shall not be grounds for termination of this Agreement; or (ii) if the other Party breaches any material provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice describing the breach, provided, however, that a breach of any of the obligations set forth in Section 3.2 or an intentional violation of Section 9 shall be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by the non-breaching Party; or (iii) if the other Party becomes insolvent or seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against the other (and not dismissed within ninety (90) days). 10.3 Effect of Termination.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if SELLER does not diligently pursue the action plan or the deficiency is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of CUSTOMER within such seventy (70) day period, then CUSTOMER may, as its sole remedy, terminate this Agreement without any further liability to SELLER. Nothing contained herein shall obligate the CUSTOMER to pay for any Products that do not conform to any purchase order or release or any Software that does not meet the applicable specifications in any materially adverse respect. 10.5 In addition to the right of CUSTOMER to terminate this Agreement as set forth in this Section 10, the Parties shall have the following rights: If at any time competent public authority shall revoke or suspend CUSTOMER's Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permit to construct or operate its network, or if CUSTOMER without fault on its part shall be denied access reasonably requested to the incumbent local exchange carrier's ("ILEC") central office due to the Product not meeting the ILEC's standards, CUSTOMER may issue a written notice to SELLER to "STOP WORK". In such event all work in progress shall be halted and any executory items on the schedules in the Attachments hereto shall be automatically canceled. At such time as the impediment is removed, the Parties shall in good faith negotiate new schedules considering commitments SELLER has made in the interim, and SELLER shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the price to be paid under this Agreement for any increased costs to SELLER associated with the Stop Work notice. If such impediment is not removed within six (6) months, then CUSTOMER may issue notice to SELLER of termination of this Agreement, together with any documentation evidencing the circumstances, and be released from any remaining minimum commitment hereunder. The CUSTOMER hereby represents and warrants to the SELLER as of the date of this Agreement that, to the best of its knowledge, no circumstances exist that would permit CUSTOMER to exercise its rights under this Section 10.5. 11. PUBLICITY. The Parties shall announce this Agreement and the establishment of the relationship between CUSTOMER and SELLER under this Agreement pursuant to a joint press release to be mutually agreed upon. The Parties agree to submit to each other for approval all other press releases relating to this Agreement and to not publish any press release without prior approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 12. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding on successors and assigns, provided, however, this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by one Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, an assignment by operation of law to a company under common ownership and/or control with the assigning Party, or to an acquirer of all or substantially all of the assigning Party's stock, assets or business to which this Agreement pertains, shall not require the consent of the other Party, but rather, in such cases, the assigning Party shall give written notification of such assignment to the other Party. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 12 shall be null and void. 9. 11 13. MISCELLANEOUS. 13.1 No Waiver. A waiver by either Party of any provision of this Agreement or breach, in any one instance, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other provision or subsequent breach thereof. 13.2 Notices.
