MTS wishes to provide those services, under the terms and conditions provided herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. PROVISION OF SERVICES. 1.1. MTS will perform services under this Agreement as set forth herein and in the Attachments attached to and made a part of this Agreement, (collectively, the "Services"). 1.2.

EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement, MTS will at the request of CUSTOMER continue to provide the Services in accordance herewith for a limited period of time in order to effect an orderly wind-down of operations (such period the "Phase-Out Period"). The Phase-Out Period shall be as follows, but in no event shall the Phase-Out Period extend beyond the expiration of the Term or renewal period in accordance with Section 3.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each party agrees that (a) all information communicated to it by the other and identified at any time as confidential, whether before or after the date hereof, (b) all information identified at any time as confidential to which it has access in connection with the Services, whether before or after the date hereof, (c) MTS Technology, as defined below, (d) trade secrets provided by one party to the other hereunder and any information provided by one party to the other hereunder concerning products, processes, formulas, algorithms, designs, schematics, works of authorship, inventions (whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright, mask works or similar laws and whether or not reduced to practice), discoveries, concepts, ideas, improvements, techniques, methods, research, development and test results, specifications, data, know-how, software, code, programs, marketing plans and analyses, and business plans, (e) all information concerning CUSTOMER's retail end users, including without limitation, identity, telephone number and other contact information, call history or other usage patterns, and (f) the terms of this Agreement (collectively, "Confidential Information"), will be used only for purposes of such party's performance under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to prevent the disclosure and protect confidentiality of the Confidential Information using the same means as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable means. No such information will be disclosed by one Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that each may disclose the other Party's confidential information to those of its employees, agents or contractors who have a need to have access to such information in connection with their employment, so long as the disclosing Party advises each employee of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section, and so long as the such agents or contractors agree to be bound by the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section. 6.2. The foregoing will not prevent any Party from disclosing information that (i) is publicly known or becomes publicly known through no unauthorized act of that Party, (ii) is rightfully received from a third party or (iii) is independently developed without use of the other Party's Confidential Information. If Confidential Information is required to be disclosed pursuant to the valid requirement of a governmental authority, such Confidential Information may be disclosed pursuant to such requirement so long as the disclosing Party, to the extent possible, provides the other Party with timely prior notice of such requirement and coordinates with the other Party in an effort to limit the nature and scope of such required disclosure. 4 6.3. Upon written request of either Party at the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all documented confidential information and all copies thereof of that Party will be returned to that Party or will be destroyed, with written certification thereof being given to the requesting party. 6.4. Each Party hereto acknowledges that breach of this Section would cause irreparable harm to the other Party for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. For this reason, the Parties hereto agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of this Section, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to the entry, by a court of competent jurisdiction, of a temporary restraining order, injunction or similar relief, as well as reimbursement of reasonable attorneys' fees or other costs incurred in obtaining such relief. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting either Party from pursuing other remedies available at law or in equity against the breaching party or any other person or entity. 7. PRESS RELEASES. Except as required by law, neither party will, without the prior written approval of the other party, issue any press release or other announcement concerning this Agreement or the parties' performance hereunder. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 8. CHANGES. 8.1. CUSTOMER may at any time require additions, deletions or alterations (all hereinafter referred to as a "Change") to the Services, including but not limited to new service offerings. 8.2. To the extent that Changes are covered under Program Management, as described in Attachment A, and can reasonably be performed within the service levels established hereunder or in accordance with the SOW without an increase in the resources used or expended in connection therewith (such Changes "Changes Within Scope"), there will be no adjustment in the fees due to MTS. 8.3. Upon delivery of a Change request, CUSTOMER will identify the request as a Change Within Scope or as a Change outside scope. If MTS disagrees with the description of a Change request as a Change Within Scope, it will so notify CUSTOMER in writing within ten (10) business days after the request is received, and the parties will work together promptly to resolve the disagreement. 8.4. MTS will implement all Changes Within Scope as soon as reasonably possible, and will implement simple changes to rate plans or handsets not later than ten (10) business days after the Change request is received. 5 8.5. Within twenty (20) business days after receiving a request for a Change that is not a Change Within Scope, MTS shall submit a written proposal to CUSTOMER that includes any changes in MTS's costs or in the delivery or schedule necessitated by such Change. CUSTOMER shall in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of the proposal, either (i) accept the proposal with a written amendment directing MTS to perform the Change or (ii) advise MTS not to perform the Change in which event MTS shall proceed with the original Service. MTS shall not be entitled to any compensation for work done pursuant to or in contemplation of such a Change, unless made pursuant to a written amendment or Change Order issued by CUSTOMER. For any Changes that require material alterations to MTS's technology, systems platform or any interfaces to CUSTOMER's platform, the parties agree to adhere to the Work Authorization Process as detailed in Attachment C. 9. OWNERSHIP. 9.1. Each party will retain all rights in any software, ideas, concepts, know-how, development tools, techniques or any other proprietary material or information that it owned or developed prior to the Effective Date, or acquired or developed after the Effective Date without reference to or use of the intellectual property of the other party. 9.2. All right, title and interest in and to all tangible work and work products developed or produced under this Agreement by MTS, whether comprising data, computer programs, reports, documentation or other technical information, are owned by MTS; provided, however, that MTS does not obtain any ownership interest in and to any pre-existing materials of Customer that are provided to MTS for use in performing the Services. 9.3. All software that is licensed by a party from a third party vendor will be and remain the property of such vendor. 9.4.
