EXHIBIT 10.3
RESALE SOLUTIONS SWITCHED SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into by and between SPRINT
COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY L.P. ("Sprint"), and NETWORK PLUS, INC. ("Customer").
Sprint and Customer are "Parties" hereto.
In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Parties agree as
follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms appearing in bold print are defined in
EXHIBIT 1.
2. CONFIDENTIALITY. During the TERM and thereafter, neither Party shall
disclose any terms of this Agreement, including pricing, or PROPRIETARY
INFORMATION of the other Party. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION shall remain the
property of the disclosing Party. A Party receiving PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
shall: (i) use or reproduce such information only when and to the extent
necessary to perform this Agreement; (ii) provide at least the same care to
avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of such information as it provides to
protect its own PROPRIETARY INFORMATION; (iii) limit access to such information
to its employees or agents who need such information to perform this Agreement;
and (iv) return or destroy all such information, including copies, after the
need for it has expired, upon request of the disclosing Party, or upon
termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (i) either Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement,
including the exhibits and attachments hereto, and PROPRIETARY INFORMATION of
the other party to the extent such disclosure is required by law and (ii) either
Party may file this Agreement, including the exhibits and attachments hereto,
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to the rules
and regulations thereof; provided that, in either event, the disclosing Party
shall provide advance notice to the other Party of such proposed disclosure, and
provided further that, in the case of (ii) above, the disclosing Party shall
file a Confidential Treatment Request ("CTR") pursuant to the Freedom of
Information Act seeking to redact from the publicly available copy of this
Agreement such terms as are reasonably requested to be redacted by the other
Party (it being understood that such CTR may be denied in whole or in part and
that notwithstanding any such rejection the disclosing Party shall be permitted
to file the Agreement with the SEC).
Because of the unique nature of PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, a breach of this
paragraph may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be
inadequate compensation. Accordingly, in addition to other available remedies, a
Party may seek injunctive relief to enforce this paragraph.
3. TERM. The TERM will commence as of February 1, 1998. The TERM will
continue after commencement for the period specified in ATTACHMENT A.
4. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.
4.1. A Party may terminate this Agreement upon the other Party's failure to
cure any of the following within 30 days following written notice thereof: (a)
the (i) insolvency, corporate reorganization, arrangement with creditors,
receivership or dissolution of the other Party; or (ii) institution of
bankruptcy proceedings by or against the other Party; (b) assignment or
attempted assignment of the Agreement or any interest therein, except as
permitted by Paragraph 24 hereof; (c) change in majority ownership of a Party
without the other Party's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; (d) a final order by a government entity with appropriate
jurisdiction that a SERVICE or the relationship hereunder is contrary to law or
regulation; or (e) material breach of any other provision of this Agreement not
otherwise referred to in Paragraph 4.
4.2. If Customer fails to cure a breach as provided in Paragraph 8 or if
Customer breaches a provision of Paragraph 17 or 18, Sprint may, at its option
and in addition to other remedies available in law or equity, take one or more
of the following steps: (i) refuse to accept additional orders for SERVICE; (ii)
refuse to install new SERVICE types or SERVICE locations; (iii) disconnect or
block ANIs, circuits, or other SERVICE ELEMENTS; (iv) discontinue PROMOTIONAL
DISCOUNTS and or international discount rates for SERVICES provided until such
time as Customer is in full compliance with Paragraphs 8, 17 and 18 of this
Agreement; and/or (v) terminate this Agreement.
4.3. Upon termination of this Agreement a Party may recover from the other
all sums it is owed at the time of termination.

Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote omissions.
5. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE; EARLY TERMINATION CHARGE.
5.1. Customer may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause upon 90
days prior written notice to Sprint and payment to Sprint of the EARLY
TERMINATION CHARGE described in Subparagraph 5.2. SERVICE will be discontinued
the first business day of the fourth month after such notice of termination.
5.2. RESALE SOLUTION BASE RATES and PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS are based on
Customer's agreement to purchase SERVICE for the entire TERM. It is difficult if
not impossible to calculate Sprint's loss if Customer terminates the Agreement
pursuant to Subparagraph 5.1 or breaches the Agreement prior to the end of the
TERM. Therefore, to compensate Sprint for such loss, and not as a penalty,
Customer shall pay Sprint an EARLY TERMINATION CHARGE in the event of such
termination or breach. The EARLY TERMINATION CHARGE shall equal $[**] for
each month remaining in the TERM when SERVICE is discontinued pursuant to
Subparagraph 5.1 or terminated due to Customer's breach. The EARLY TERMINATION
CHARGE shall be paid within 30 days after the notice provided pursuant to
Subparagraph 5.1.
6. APPLICATION OF TARIFFS; INTERSTATE ADJUSTMENT.
6.1. Interstate and international SERVICE shall be provided pursuant to
TARIFF as supplemented by this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between
this Agreement and any TARIFF, the TARIFF shall control.
6.2. Intrastate SERVICE is provided pursuant to TARIFF in every respect.
PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS will not apply to intrastate SERVICE. An INTERSTATE
ADJUSTMENT may be applied based on intrastate usage as provided in ATTACHMENT D.
The INTERSTATE ADJUSTMENT shall be based on intrastate usage at the PRODUCT
HIERARCHY LEVEL and will equal the difference between (a) such usage priced at
TARIFF less TARIFF discounts and (b) such usage priced at the INTERSTATE
ADJUSTMENT RATE in ATTACHMENT D less DISCOUNT ONE discounts. The INTERSTATE
ADJUSTMENT for a given month shall not exceed interstate billing for such month.
6.3. Customer shall pay all applicable TARIFF charges including, but not
limited to, fixed charges, feature charges, enhanced Toll Free charges, access
facility charges, and installation and other non-recurring charges.
Additionally, Customer will pay, in accordance with applicable Tariffs, any
taxes, levies, surcharges, or other costs that Sprint is obligated to pay to any
governmental entity or other third party, provided that (i) such obligation is
imposed by valid and lawful legislation or regulation, and (ii) such obligation
arises out of the use of Sprint's services.
6.4. Sprint may modify or withdraw TARIFFS from time to time, which may
include discontinuation of any SERVICE without Sprint's liability. In the event
that a SERVICE is discontinued and such discontinuation materially and adversely
affects Customer's ability to do business as anticipated in this Agreement, then
Customer may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to
Sprint without liability for the EARLY TERMINATION CHARGE, but must repay to
Sprint a prorata portion of any credits issued under this Agreement, based on
the number of months remaining in the TERM.
6.5. In the event Sprint withdraws its filed TARIFFS the TARIFF terms and
conditions in effect on the date of such withdrawal will continue to apply to
this Agreement. After withdrawal of the applicable TARIFFS, the terms of this
Agreement will control over any inconsistent provision in the former TARIFFS,
subject to standard contract interpretation rules. TARIFFS not withdrawn shall
continue to have the same force and effect.
7. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Neither this Agreement nor the provision of
SERVICE may be construed to constitute or create an association, joint venture,
partnership or other form of legal entity or business enterprise between
Customer and Sprint, its agents, employees and/or affiliates. Customer is the
service provider with respect to END USERS. Sprint is merely a supplier to
Customer with no relationship to END USERS.
8. USE OF NAME AND MARKS.
8.1 This Agreement confers no right to use the name, service marks,
trademarks, copyrights, patents or CIC of either Party except as expressly
provided herein. Neither Party shall take any action which would compromise the
registered copyrights
-2-

or service marks of the other. Sprint's and Customer's name is proprietary and
nothing herein constitutes a general license authorizing its use. Customer may
not: (a) promote or advertise Sprint's name or capabilities to END USERS or
prospective END USERS; (b) attempt to sell its service using Sprint's name; or
(c) represent to END USERS or prospective END USERS that they would be Sprint
customers or that they may obtain Sprint service from Customer.
8.2 A Party shall provide the other Party written notice of a breach of
this paragraph 8. Each Party shall use its best efforts to immediately cure such
breach, advising the other Party of such corrective action. If, in the Party's
opinion, the other Party fails to effect a cure within 15 days of written
notice, then the Party may, at its option, terminate the Agreement pursuant to
Subparagraph 4.2.
8.3 Sprint's provision of Resale Connect One Plus SERVICE may result in END
USERS being notified by their LEC that Sprint is their designated PIC.
Therefore, to avoid confusion and potential "slamming" complaints, Sprint hereby
authorizes Customer to use Sprint's name under the following conditions to
provide END USERS from whom Customer has obtained a PIC AUTHORIZATION with a
fulfillment piece containing the following Notice (the "Notice"):
We want to affirm how __ will provide your long distance service.
Although __ will provide your invoice and customer service, we use
major national carriers to actually carry your long distance calls.
After subscribing to our service, you may receive a notice from your
local phone company which says that your long distance "Carrier of
Choice" is Sprint. ___ has selected Sprint as the long distance network
provider it will use to handle your calls. That selection was based on
your quality and price requirements. If you have any questions about
your order, please call our toll free customer service number,
1-___-___-____.
8.4 If Customer subscribes to Resale Connect One Plus, calls placed by END
USERS to the Sprint access number will be answered "Sprint operator." This may
cause confusion if the END USER does not know its calls are being carried on the
Sprint network. Therefore, to avoid such confusion, Sprint hereby authorizes
Customer to provide END USERS who use Sprint Express with a fulfillment piece
containing the following notice (the "Sprint Express Notice"): "International
call origination may be provided by a Sprint operator." Sprint may withdraw
consent to use the Sprint Express Notice upon 10 days written notice.
9. SERVICE. SERVICES provided hereunder are described in EXHIBIT 2.
10. LEGAL COMPLIANCE; REMEDIES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE.
10.1. Customer represents and warrants that (a) it has obtained all licenses
and regulatory approvals and that it has the legal authority necessary to
operate as contemplated herein and (b) it will not submit an END USER ANI for
activation without obtaining and maintaining a proper PIC AUTHORIZATION.
10.2. If Customer materially breaches this paragraph, Sprint may (a)
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Subparagraph 4.1(e), (b) reject END USER
ANIs submitted by Customer for placement under its account, and/or (c)
discontinue PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS. If Sprint elects option (b) or (c), it will
resume accepting ANIs and/or reinstate PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS only after Customer
produces evidence satisfactory to Sprint that it has cured its breach.
10.3. Sprint represents and warrants that it has obtained all licenses and
regulatory approvals and that it has the legal authority necessary to operate as
contemplated herein. If Sprint materially breaches this subparagraph, Customer
may terminate this Agreement pursuant to subparagraph 4.1(e) and shall not be
required to repay to Sprint any credits issued under this Agreement or the EARLY
TERMINATION CHARGE.
11. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES.
11.1. Customer shall not be relieved of any obligation hereunder by virtue of
the fact that SERVICE is ultimately used by END USERS.

Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote omissions.
11.2. Customer shall produce for Sprint's inspection, at Customer's expense,
any PIC AUTHORIZATION within 48 hours after Sprint's oral or written request, or
within any shorter period required by a LEC or regulatory agency. If Customer
fails to comply with this subparagraph then Sprint may for as long as such
non-compliance occurs and upon written notice (a) discontinue PROMOTIONAL
DISCOUNTS and/or (b) refuse to activate additional ANIs under Customer's
account.
11.3. Customer shall reimburse Sprint for any charge assessed by a LEC for
processing a PIC changes due to a Customer initiated dispute.
11.4. Customer shall be solely responsible for END USER solicitation, service
requests, creditworthiness, customer service, billing and collection. Customer
remains responsible for compliance with this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, payment responsibilities, without regard to Customer's ability to
charge for SERVICES used by END USERS or to collect payment from END USERS.
11.5. Customer shall be financially liable for usage generated by each END
USER ANI activated by Sprint until such ANI is presubscribed to another IXC or
until such time as Customer requested Sprint to block such ANI. Sprint will
implement any Customer requested blocks within normal customary timeframes.
Customer may request Sprint to block NETWORK EXTENSION SERVICE to an ANI upon
the END USER'S failure to pay Customer, subject to Customer's prior
certification to Sprint that it has given the END USER any notice required by
law. Customer shall reimburse Sprint for expenses incurred to block an ANI.
11.6. Customer shall be solely liable for amounts it cannot collect from END
USERS, including all fraudulent charges, and for billing adjustments it grants
END USERS, including adjustments for fraudulent charges, directory assistance or
any other form of credit; except for amounts invoiced after normal customary
timeframes after Customer has requested that Sprint block an ANI, a toll free
number, a calling card or an auth code.
11.7 Customer shall comply with Sprint's network interface procedures when
it orders its own access facilities.
11.8 The minimum installation and disconnect intervals for switched SERVICE
ELEMENTS is 15 calendar days and for dedicated SERVICE ELEMENTS is 35 calendar
days.
12. SERVICE ACTIVATION. Sprint will use reasonable efforts to provide
switched SERVICE within [**] days, and dedicated SERVICE within [**] days,
following Customer's order, or the requested delivery date, whichever is later.
These installation objectives will be extended by the time it takes to address
activation errors or obtain from Customer a complete and accurate order or PIC
AUTHORIZATION. Customer shall reimburse Sprint for LEC imposed fees resulting
from a request to expedite SERVICE.
13. PRICING; FORWARD PRICING; GENERAL CONDITIONS.
13.1. PRICING. RESALE SOLUTION BASE RATES and PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS are
contained in the ATTACHMENTS hereto.

13.3. PRICES CONTINGENT ON PERFORMANCE. RESALE SOLUTION BASE RATES and
PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS are contingent on Customer's full performance of all terms

C and D.
13.8. FORWARD PRICING. As a transition to the pricing hereunder, DISCOUNT TWO

DISCOUNT TWO MONTHLY VOLUME OF SERVICE or a specified FORWARD PRICING VOLUME OF
SERVICE. The FORWARD PRICING VOLUME OF SERVICE and the period during which it
may be applied are specified in ATTACHMENT A.
14. SURCHARGES.
14.1. MINIMUM COMMITMENT SURCHARGE. For any period during which Customer
fails to meet the MINIMUM COMMITMENT stated on ATTACHMENT A, Customer shall pay
a surcharge for SERVICE provided during such period equal to [**]% of the
difference between the MINIMUM COMMITMENT for such period and Customer's actual
NET USAGE during such period. Customer's satisfaction of the MINIMUM COMMITMENT
shall not relieve Customer of any credit or security obligations set forth in
this Agreement.
14.2. LEC CAP SURCHARGE. Any month Customer exceeds the MAXIMUM NON-BELL
TRAFFIC PERCENTAGE specified in ATTACHMENT B for any SERVICE type, Customer
shall pay Sprint the per minute surcharge for such SERVICE specified in
ATTACHMENT B for each minute above the MAXIMUM NON-BELL TRAFFIC PERCENTAGE that
originates from or terminates to a NON-BELL SERVICE AREA. MAXIMUM NON-BELL
TRAFFIC PERCENTAGES will be calculated independently for originating and
terminating minutes at each PRODUCT HIERARCHY LEVEL.
14.3. MINIMUM AVERAGE TIME REQUIREMENT SURCHARGE. Any month Customer fails to
equal or exceed the MINIMUM AVERAGE TIME REQUIREMENT specified in ATTACHMENT B
for SERVICES specified in ATTACHMENT B, then Customer shall pay Sprint a per
minute surcharge on such usage equal to (a) the per minute surcharge specified
in ATTACHMENT B multiplied by (b) the difference between (i) the number of
minutes the SERVICE was used and (ii) the number of calls using the SERVICE
multiplied by the MINIMUM AVERAGE TIME REQUIREMENT. This surcharge shall be
calculated at each PRODUCT HIERARCHY LEVEL.
14.4. NONCOMPLETE CALL SURCHARGE. Any month Customer exceeds the MAXIMUM
NONCOMPLETE TOLL FREE CALL PERCENTAGE for interstate Resale Direct Toll Free,
Resale Direct Toll Free Extension, and/or interstate Resale Connect Toll Free
traffic as stated on ATTACHMENT B, Customer shall pay Sprint a surcharge equal
to the amount stated in ATTACHMENT B for each NONCOMPLETE TOLL FREE CALL in
excess of the MAXIMUM NONCOMPLETE TOLL FREE CALL PERCENTAGE. This surcharge
shall be calculated at each PRODUCT HIERARCHY LEVEL.
14.5. MINIMUM PORT USAGE SURCHARGE. Any month Customer fails to equal or
exceed the MINIMUM PORT USAGE per ACTIVE RESALE DIRECT PORT (calculated as
Customer's actual NET USAGE for Resale Direct SERVICE divided by Customer's
total number of ACTIVE RESALE DIRECT PORTS at each PRODUCT HIERARCHY LEVEL) as
stated on ATTACHMENT A, Customer shall pay Sprint a surcharge on its Resale
Direct SERVICE usage equal to the difference between (a) Customer's actual NET
USAGE for Resale Direct SERVICE and (b) the MINIMUM PORT USAGE multiplied by the
total number of ACTIVE RESALE DIRECT PORTS.
15. SERVICE CHARGES.
For each END USER ANI or Toll Free number Customer submits for activation that
requires Sprint to disconnect or transfer such ANI or Toll Free number from
Sprint's data base before placing it within Customer's CTIS hierarchy, Customer
will pay to Sprint a service charge of $[**]. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the service charge described in this paragraph 15 will be waived if such ANIs,
or Toll Free numbers do not exceed 15% of the total ANIs or Toll Free numbers
submitted by Customer during the immediately preceding ninety (90) days.
16. SPECIAL RATE ADJUSTMENTS.

Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote omissions.
16.1. Sprint may, after 15 days notice to Customer, adjust the price of
SERVICE provided hereunder to reflect changes in international cost of service
or currency exchange rates.
16.2. Sprint will review every January and July and adjust, up or down, the
price of Interstate Adjustment (Intrastate) Services in ATTACHMENT D. This
review will be based upon Sprint's most recent data obtained from the LEC's. The
adjustment will reflect changes in Sprint's Intrastate LEC charges plus
miscellaneous charges including but not limited to local transport fees and a
percentage charge for incomplete calls. Both Sprint and Network Plus agree to
review in good faith these adjustments prior to the six month review period, if
during the six month period, one of the RBOCs undergoes a significant
restructuring of access.
16.3 Sprint agrees that it is vital to Customer to obtain prices under this
Agreement that are generally comparable to the prices Sprint charges similarly
situated customers for COMPARABLE SERVICES. Sprint will reasonably monitor
periodically compare pricing under this Agreement to prices for COMPARABLE
SERVICES charged similarly situated Wholesale Services Group customers,
excluding RBOCS, who purchase service under the same ACCOMPANYING CONDITIONS, to
determine whether it believes a price adjustment is appropriate. In the event
any such customer receives pricing that is more favorable than the pricing under
this Agreement, Sprint shall promptly provide notice to Customer that the
pricing under this Agreement is immediately reduced to a level at least as
favorable to Customer as such other more favorable pricing, such adjustment to
be retroactive to the date on which such other customer first received such more
favorable pricing.
16.4. Customer agrees, both as to international traffic carried on the Sprint
network and as to international traffic acquired or developed by Customer after
the effective date of this Agreement, that Sprint will be given the opportunity
to match any bona fide competitive price for all or some of Customer's
international traffic before Customer accepts such bona fide competitive price,
Sprint will modify the Agreement rates for the affected traffic within 30 days
of notice of its decision to match. Should Sprint decide not to match bona fide
competitive price or should Sprint fail to notify Customer of any decision
within 48 business hours after Customer discloses the bona fide competitive
price to Sprint, then Customer may move the affected traffic from the Sprint
network. The foregoing paragraph not withstanding Sprint understands and agrees
that unless Sprint can match the effective timing of such bona fide competitive
price, Customer has no obligation to provide such traffic to Sprint and is free
to move such international traffic.
17. PAYMENT FOR SERVICE.
17.1. PAYMENT OBLIGATION. Customer shall pay Sprint for SERVICE pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and applicable TARIFFS.
17.2. CALL DETAIL. Sprint will provide Customer with a Carrier Transport Call
Detail Record file containing Customer's SERVICE usage. Sprint may, at its
option and without liability to Customer, modify the format of the Carrier
Transport Call Detail Record file upon sixty (60) days written notice to
Customer.
17.3. PAYMENT PROCEDURE. Sprint will invoice Customer monthly for SERVICES
provided hereunder. All amounts stated on each monthly invoice will be due and
payable upon receipt. All undisputed charges for SERVICES provided that remain
unpaid by Customer for a period of forty-five (45) days or more after the date
of the invoice will be subject to interest beginning the 46th day from the date
of the invoice at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum
rate allowable by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to
the contrary, payment of any invoice issued for a usage month during which
Customer achieves the Average Minimum Growth defined below shall be due within
60 days following Customer's receipt of the invoice. Average Minimum Growth
means an average increase of at least $[**] in monthly Net Usage from one
usage month to the next when averaged over a three-month period consisting of
the usage month plus the two (2) months immediately preceding the usage month.
The price of SERVICE is exclusive of applicable taxes. RESALE SOLUTION BASE
RATES and PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS are contingent on Customer providing Sprint with
certificates from appropriate taxing authorities exempting Customer from taxes
that would otherwise be invoiced hereunder.
17.4. BILLING DISPUTES. In the event Customer, in good faith, disputes
Sprint's computation of amounts due and owing within all applicable legal
periods of
-6-
7
limitation, Customer may withhold payment of the disputed amount. Customer must
pay all charges which are not in dispute in accordance with the payment terms
set forth in this Section. An amount will not be considered "in dispute" until
Customer has provided Sprint with written documentation explaining the disputed
amount and describing the factual and legal basis of the dispute. Customer and
Sprint shall cooperate to resolve any dispute expeditiously. All disputed
amounts are due and payable immediately upon Sprint's written denial of the
dispute. If the parties fail to resolve the dispute within 180 days, the dispute
shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Paragraph 22 below.
18. PAYMENT SECURITY. Provision of SERVICE is contingent on credit approval
by Sprint. Upon reasonable request by Sprint, and only upon execution of a
confidentiality statement reasonably acceptable to both parties, Customer shall
provide Sprint with financial statements or other indications of Customer's
financial and business circumstances. If Customer's financial or business
circumstances or payment history is or, during the TERM, becomes reasonably
unacceptable to Sprint, then Sprint may require a deposit, irrevocable letter of
credit or other form of security acceptable to Sprint. Customer's failure to
provide such security within 20 days following Sprint's reasonable request shall
constitute a default under Subparagraph 4.2.
19. PROPERTY AND PERSONAL INJURY INDEMNIFICATION. Each Party agrees to
indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the other Party, its directors, officers,
employees, agents and their successors and assigns from and against any and all
claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities,
including costs and reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of claims made by
third parties for personal injury (or death) or loss or damage to personal
property, arising out of or related to the negligent or willful misconduct,
errors or omissions, of the indemnifying Party or its subcontractors, directors,
officers, employees, agents or representatives. Claims made by employees of a
Party which are covered under applicable workers' compensation laws are not
indemnified hereunder.
20. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY. If Customer is made the subject of any
claim or lawsuit by reason of its use of the SERVICES provided hereunder based
on the allegation that the SERVICE as provided by Sprint constitutes an
infringement of any third party patent, copyright or trade secret, enforceable
in countries ratifying the Berne Convention, Customer will promptly notify
Sprint thereof in writing. Sprint will defend and indemnify Customer against all
such claims, demands, and causes of action based on the actual or alleged
infringement of any such third party right. The indemnities set forth in this
Section will include, without limitation, all penalties, awards and judgments,
all court and arbitration costs, attorney's fees and other out-of-pocket costs
reasonably incurred in connection with such claims, demands and causes of
action. Sprint will have sole discretion to settle or compromise such claim or
lawsuit without the written consent of Customer provided that such settlement or
compromise does not require Customer to make any payment not indemnified. Sprint
will have the sole right to retain and select counsel to represent its interests
in defending any such claim or litigation as part of its indemnification
obligation hereunder. Sprint will not reimburse Customer for its attorneys' fees
and costs in connection with Customer's separate retention of counsel, unless
Sprint will have wrongly failed to defend and indemnify Customer.
If any action results in a final injunction against Customer with respect to the
SERVICES provided pursuant to this Agreement, Sprint agrees that it will at its
option and its sole expense, either (1) procure for Customer the right to
continue using the infringing SERVICES or (2) replace or modify the same so that
it becomes non-infringing or (3) substitute for the SERVICES non-infringing
replacement SERVICES having a capability equivalent to the SERVICES provided
herein with no adverse economic impact to Customer. If none of the foregoing
alternatives is reasonably available to Sprint, then Customer will have the
right to terminate the affected portions of this Agreement. Sprint will have no
liability under this indemnity provision to the extent the claim is based on a
use, a modification, or a combination of Sprint SERVICES with products, goods or
services not directly provided by Sprint.
21. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
21.1 SPRINT'S ENTIRE LIABILITY RESULTING FROM ITS FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OF
ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN NO EVENT WILL EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO
