- 6 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
disaster, personnel ordinarily assigned to the performance of other Services for Sprint under this Agreement will, as mutually agreed by the Parties, be made available to perform business continuity and Disaster recovery services in cooperation with Sprint.
2.9.1 Disaster Recovery Plan
The Disaster Recovery Plan may be updated from time to time, to describe, in no lesser detail than the current plan, the manner in which Amdocs will perform backup, contingency operations, and disaster recovery functions, and will include: (i) the required recovery times for the Services in accordance with Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)) (for the purposes of this Agreement, any reference to Schedule C will be deemed a reference to Schedule C1 from the Effective Date through December 31, 2013 and a reference to Schedule C2 from and after January 1, 2014 (replacing Schedule C1 in its entirety)); (ii) redundancy provisions to eliminate single points of failure; (iii) business continuity measures, including physical security, UPS systems with diesel power backup, data backup and storage policies, failover procedures, redundant network connections, redirection of network communications traffic from primary to alternate sites, fire protection systems, and disaster prevention measures for each location from which Amdocs provides Services. The Disaster Recovery Plan will also provide that: (i) Amdocs will[**] purchase and maintain during the Term, an alternate data center site and the hardware and software required for the provision of Disaster recovery services; (ii) alternate routing of Sprints WAN (Wide Area Network) to the alternate data center site will be Sprints responsibility; (iii) Amdocs will be required to conduct a full test of the processes set forth in the Disaster Recovery Plan on an annual basis, and incremental testing in accordance with the Disaster Recovery Plan, and that Sprint will be permitted to oversee, and audit the results of, any such testing; and (iv) Amdocs will be responsible for [**] associated with the Disaster Recovery Plan, including but not limited to, the testing, implementation and execution thereof; provided, however, that Sprint will be responsible for [**] incurred by Sprint to perform any obligations contained in the Disaster Recovery Plan that are specifically described in such Disaster Recovery Plan as the obligations of Sprint. The Disaster Recovery Plan, including any updates, and all applicable documentation, will be subject to Sprints approval which will not be unreasonably withheld. Amdocs will provide Sprint with any Disaster Recovery Plan updates within a reasonable time after such update goes into effect.

2.9.2 Cutover to Alternate Data Center
Amdocs will provide Sprint written notice in the event that Amdocs believes that an event that constitutes a Disaster has occurred, but Sprint reserves final authority to determine whether to cutover to the alternate data center site in accordance with the Disaster Recovery Plan. If a Disaster has occurred and Sprint does not so grant Amdocs authority to cutover to the alternate data center site, then any Amdocs failure to perform the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement directly resulting from not exercising the cutover to
SPRINT/UNITED MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND AMDOCS CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT |
- 7 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
the alternate data center site will be excused to such extent until the earlier of (i) successful cutover to the alternate data center site following subsequent authorization by Sprint to cutover to the alternate data center site or (ii) the conclusion of the Disaster; provided that Amdocs has complied with the procedural requirements set forth in Section 10.4 (Delay) with respect to Delay (i.e., written notice and cure period for Sprint) and Amdocs uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the Disaster and reestablish full performance of the Services, notwithstanding any inability to cutover to the alternative data center site.

4.4 Acceptance Testing
4.4.1 Software Component Testing
(a) Amdocs will design, develop and execute the Unit Testing, Sub System Testing, Amdocs Integration Testing, and System Testing, of the Customized Product, all components thereof and any other software to be provided hereunder in connection with each Release. The Parties will conduct the Testing Activities (as defined below) in accordance with the process set forth below in order to verify compliance of the Customized Product with the applicable Impact Assessment Document and Amdocs will provide such assistance and cooperation to Sprint as is reasonably requested by Sprint in connection with Integrated System Testing, Performance Testing, and Acceptance Testing in accordance with this Agreement, including Schedule B (Roles and Responsibilities) (collectively, the Amdocs Testing Activities). With the reasonable assistance of Amdocs, Sprint will conduct Integrated System Testing, Performance Testing, and Acceptance Testing and assist Amdocs with System Testing of the Customized Product (collectively, the Sprint Testing Activities, and collectively with the Amdocs Testing Activities, the Testing Activities). Amdocs must meet the System Testing exit criteria prior to Acceptance Test or as agreed between the two parties. The Parties will commence good faith discussions to set a System Testing exit criteria as well as the decisive factors that needs to be met by the Parties prior to the System Testing exit date. For Amdocs System Testing activities, Sprint will provide Amdocs, at least [**] days, or other timeframe as agreed upon by the Parties, to the commencement of the Acceptance Testing referred to herein below, with all of the test cases to be used by Sprint for the Sprint Testing Activities. For all Testing Activities, Amdocs will provide Sprint, upon prior request, with access to any test case databases, test cases executed, test data used, defect logs, test entrance and exit criteria, and data from Amdocs data extraction tool, and any relevant test result documentation. Sprint will also provide access to its defect management tool to all relevant Amdocs personnel for the purposes of fixing defects opened by Sprint. In addition, Sprint will provide Amdocs with reasonable access to the Sprint break-fix environment providing interfaces to, NMS, NPS, SMG (WLNP), Paymentech, and EAI so that Amdocs can conduct end-to-end testing as part of production fixes or next build or release testing hereunder. Amdocs may not access or use any other or future systems interfacing with the Customized Product unless the Parties mutually agree to provide such access. In the event that Amdocss lack of access or use of any other or future systems interfacing with the Customized Product results in Amdocs inability to verify compliance of the Customized Product, Amdocs will identify the resulting risks to Sprint in the applicable Impact Assessment Document.
(b) Sprint reserves the right to observe and verify Amdocs performance of and results from all Amdocs Testing Activities, including review of test cases (except for Unit Testing and Sub System Testing), test execution and test results of the software
SPRINT/UNITED MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND AMDOCS CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT |
- 13 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
components contained or to be contained in the Customized Product, including Customizations pursuant to the applicable Impact Assessment Document (Software Components). Upon Amdocs notification to Sprint that Amdocs has completed Unit Testing and System Testing of all of the Software Components and such Software Components have been verified in writing by Sprint to be free of known Priority 1 defects (as defined in Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)) and any other agreed to System Testing exit criteria, or Sprint and Amdocs mutually agree in writing to proceed with Acceptance Testing notwithstanding the existence of known defects, Sprint will promptly begin the Acceptance Testing of such Software Components in environments using actual test data, if applicable, and test generated data. No later than [**] calendar days prior to System Testing, Amdocs will provide to Sprint a draft of the detailed test scripts used in System Testing consisting of the detailed run books, test calendars, and any other test case material that is used as a part of System Testing. Amdocs will deliver a final version of the System Testing cases upon Amdocs beginning of System Testing. Further, for each Release Amdocs will provide [**] of training on the Customized Product for Sprint personnel conducting Acceptance Testing. During each cycle of Acceptance Testing, if Sprint determines that a Software Component, or the Customized Product as a whole, has a material defect or is not performing according to the Specifications, or does not perform as warranted in Section 11 (Warranty), Sprint will report the discrepancies to Amdocs. During the Acceptance Testing, Amdocs must correct the deficiencies in the time frames specified for the corresponding priority correction in Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)). Sprint may re-run cycles of Acceptance Testing until such a time that Sprint is satisfied with the quality of the Software Component. Sprints undertaking of Acceptance Testing does not imply acknowledgement of defect-free software, nor does it limit Sprints ability or right to later discover and report product defects. Upon Sprints verification that the Software Components are free of known defects or Sprints determination to proceed with known defects, Sprint will notify Amdocs in writing that acceptance of such Software Component (Acceptance), has occurred. Sprints determination to proceed with known defects will not limit Amdocs obligation to timely correct such defects.
(c) Upon successful completion of the Acceptance Testing (during which all errors or defects, if any which have been detected in the Customized Product are cured by Amdocs), and upon a subsequent go live decision by Sprint, Sprint will begin to use the Customized Product, in a production environment. Sprint will be deemed to have issued its Acceptance of the applicable Release upon Amdocs correction of any material errors detected and identified to Amdocs and associated with the Release (i) prior to the go live date; and (ii) during the period commencing on the go live date and ending on the later of: (x) [**] subsequent to such go live date and (y) [**] after the completion of the first billing cycle using the applicable Release. For purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 4.4.1(c), material errors are Priority 1 and Priority 2 Issues as defined in Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)) and associated with the Release. Subsequent to Acceptance, Amdocs will be required to correct any errors in the applicable Release in accordance with this Agreement, including the Schedules hereto.
(d) Notwithstanding the above, the Parties agree that Production CRs, due to their nature as defined in Section 12.1 (Defined Terms), will be tested by Amdocs and the provisions of this Section 4.4.1 will not apply to Production CRs. However, the Parties agree
SPRINT/UNITED MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND AMDOCS CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT |
- 14 - | CONFIDENTIAL |
that Sprint will have the right, in its sole discretion (i) to require specific testing on a case by case basis provided such testing is coordinated in advance with Amdocs and has no effect on the applicable Production CRs development timetable or agreed to cost (unless any delay in such timetable is agreed to in writing by Sprint and will not be considered a delay by Amdocs) and (ii) Sprint will have the right, upon coordination in advance with Amdocs to observe, and/or participate in, any such testing. Amdocs will deliver to Sprint the results of any testing conducted pursuant to this paragraph.
4.4.2 Non Software Acceptance
Each material Deliverable required to be provided for Sprint pursuant to an Additional Services Order hereunder that is not a Software Component will also be subject to acceptance by Sprint as provided below. The Parties will establish specific approval criteria with respect to each material non-software Deliverable hereunder, and will include such approval criteria within the applicable Additional Services Order. Sprint will review each such Deliverable under any such specifically established approval criteria and within the time established for that Deliverable pursuant to the applicable Additional Services Order (or, if none is so established then within a reasonable time). Upon completion of the reviews, Sprint will notify Amdocs in writing of Sprints approval (an Approving Notice) or non-approval (a Non-Approving Notice) of the Deliverable. Non-approval may be determined only due to a failure to meet the Deliverable specific approval criteria therefor, or, in the absence of such Deliverable specific approval criteria, a material defect. In the event that Sprint does not send to Amdocs an Approving Notice or a Non-Approving Notice within [**] days of delivery, the Deliverable will be deemed accepted. If the Deliverable is not approved, Sprint will include in the Non-Approving Notice a statement of the material defect or the Deliverable specific approval criteria that were not met. Amdocs agrees that it will correct any identified material defects or failures of a non-approved Deliverable to meet the Deliverable specific approval criteria promptly, and in any event, within any time frame established in the applicable Additional Services Order [**]. Upon delivery of the revised Deliverable, the review process described above will recommence with respect to all aspects of such Deliverable that were to have been corrected and any other aspects that may have been affected as a result of such corrections.
4.4.3 Effect of Reviews
Notwithstanding any opportunity for Sprint to inspect any intermediate Deliverables, no testing pursuant to Section 4.4 (Acceptance Testing) or Approving Notice will constitute a waiver of or otherwise relieve Amdocs from its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation pursuant to the warranties of Section 11 (Warranty) hereof and no Approving Notice with respect to an intermediate deliverable will obligate Sprint with respect to, or constitute, approval or acceptance of the Customized Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.4.3 (Effect of Reviews) will not affect the acceptance of the Customized Product in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4.1 (Software Component Testing). No quality assurance, acceptance test, or other similar procedure, other than the procedure set forth in Sections 4.4.1 (Software Component Testing) and 4.4.2 (Non-Software Acceptance) above, will be deemed to obligate Sprint with respect to, or necessarily to constitute, legal acceptance of any Deliverable provided by Amdocs under this Agreement and no such procedure will be deemed to waive any right or remedy under this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, any termination under this Section 6.2 (Termination for Convenience; Change in Control of Amdocs; Termination for Force Majeure; Termination for Financial Instability; Effect of Termination) will be effective with regard to Sprint [**] receiving Services under this Agreement, but will not be effective with regard to [**] that has entered into its own agreement with Amdocs.
6.3 Termination for Cause
6.3.1 Critical Defaults
(a) Section 4.5 (Dispute Resolution) hereof notwithstanding, the Term may be ended 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 (Critical Defaults)) will be [**] days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination will be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a termination by Sprint, Amdocs will perform its Disentanglement obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Termination will not constitute a Partys exclusive remedy for such a Critical Default, and such Party will not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Critical Default. Sprint will not be required to pay Amdocs any Exit Fee or other termination fees if Sprint terminates the Term for Critical Default. If Sprint ends the Term as a result of a claimed Critical Default by Amdocs and it is determined by the Arbitrator that no Critical Default was committed, then the termination will be deemed a termination for convenience, pursuant to Section 6.2.1 (Termination for Convenience), and Amdocs will have all remedies available to it, in accordance with Section 10.2 (Remedies) hereof, in connection with such determination that no Default was committed.
(b) For purposes of this Section 6.3 (Termination for Cause), a Critical Default of Amdocs will mean each of the defaults described in clauses (a), (d), (e) and (g) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder only; and a Critical Default of Sprint will mean the default described in clause (f) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder, i.e., Sprints failure to pay Amdocs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement more than [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs charges relating to a period of [**] days or more hereunder; provided that (x) such charges are at least [**] days past due; (y) Amdocs has advised Sprints Program Manager in writing of Sprints failure to make timely payment of such amounts and that Amdocs reserves the right to terminate or suspend the Services in accordance with the Agreement if such amounts are not fully paid within [**] days of Amdocs above written notice, and (z) Sprint has not paid such amounts in full by the later of the [**] day period specified in (x) above or the [**] day period specified in (y) above; and provided further, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided above, there will not be deemed to have occurred a Critical Default of Sprint hereunder in the event that Sprint has failed to pay Amdocs, in accordance with this Agreement, any portion (i.e., up to [**] percent ([**]%)) of Amdocs charges relating to such period of [**] days or more, if with respect to any amount greater than [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs charges relating to such period of [**] days or more, Sprints Chief Information Officer or Chief Operations Officer will have determined such amount is a disputed amount in accordance with Section 5.2.9 (Payments) hereof.

6.3.2 Material Defaults
(a) In the event that Sprint believes Amdocs has committed a Default described in clause (f) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder or either Party believes the other Party has committed a Default described in clause (c) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder (each referred to hereinafter as a Material Default), the Party asserting that such Material Default has been committed will provide the other Party with written notice of such claim, and within [**] calendar days of the date of such notification the matter will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 13.6 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction). The purpose of such arbitration will be to determine, assuming the truth of all claims of the Party asserting that such Material Default has been committed, whether the other Partys failure or breach is material for purposes of clause (c) or (f) of Section 12.1.58 (Default), as the case may be. The Arbitrators will make its initial determination of materiality, and if the Arbitrators 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 therefor, if any (i.e., that the conditions of a Default under clause (f) or clause (c), as the case may be, of Section 12.1.58 (Default) were met). If the Arbitrators determine that a Party did in fact commit a Material Default, or the Arbitrators fail to render a determination within [**] months of the original notification as to whether such Material Default was in fact committed, then the Party asserting such Material Default will have the right to terminate this Agreement. The [**] month time limit during which the Arbitrators must determine whether a Party has in fact committed a Material Default will be reduced by the number of days in excess of [**] elapsing between the date of the original notice described above and the date of the Arbitrators initial threshold determination of materiality.
(b) In the event that the Arbitrators rule that a Material Default has been committed by a Party, the other Party may initiate the termination by sending the other Party a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date will be [**] days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination will be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date, and, in the event of such a termination, Amdocs will perform its Disentanglement obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Upon termination by Sprint pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 (Material Defaults), Amdocs will [**] subsequent to the expiration of any cure period contained in clause (c) or clause (f), as the case may be, of Section 12.1.58 (Default). Termination will not constitute a Partys exclusive remedy for a Material Default of the other Party, and the Arbitrator will have time beyond the [**] month time period referenced above to determine the damages due to a Party for such asserted failure or breach of the other Party hereunder. Further, a Party will not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to submitting the original notice described above, and Sprint will not be required to pay Amdocs any Exit Fee or other termination fees if Sprint terminates the Term pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 (Material Defaults). Further, the non-prevailing Party in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 (Material Defaults) will be required to pay the arbitration costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, of the other Party. If a Party asserting a Material Default terminates this Agreement, in accordance herewith, on the basis of the Arbitrators failure to render a determination within [**] months of the original notification, as to whether such Material Default was in fact committed, the arbitration will continue in order to determine whether such Material Default was committed; and if such determination is that neither a Critical Default or a Material Default was committed, then the termination will be deemed a termination for convenience, pursuant to Section 6.2.1 (Termination for Convenience).

6.3.3 Other Defaults
In the event that either Party (the First Party) commits an Other Default, the other Party (the Second Party) may, after providing the First Party with written notice of such Other Default, submit the matter to the escalation procedures set forth in Section 4.5 (Dispute Resolution). If, as a result of such procedure, the Arbitrator determines that the First Party did in fact commit an Other Default, then the Second Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending the First Party a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date will be [**] days or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination will be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a termination by Sprint, [**]. Termination will not constitute the Second Partys exclusive remedy for such an Other Default, and the Second Party will not be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Other Default. Sprint will [**]. For purposes of this Section 6.3 (Termination for Cause), an Other Default of Amdocs will mean the Default described in clause (b) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder and an Other Default of Sprint will mean the Default described in clause (e) of Section 12.1.58 (Default) hereunder.
6.4 Extension of Services
In the event that the Agreement has been terminated by Sprint in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event that the Primary Term has expired, Sprint may, at its sole option and discretion prior to the applicable Termination Date, extend the effective date of any such expiration or termination of the Primary Term for up to [**] successive periods of up to [**] days each beyond the applicable Termination Date, upon at least [**] days prior, written notice to Amdocs. The Parties hereby acknowledge, for the avoidance of doubt, that during any period of extension under this Section 6.4 (Extension of Services) all terms and conditions of this Agreement will continue to apply, including but not limited to: (i) the Monthly Subscriber Fee and (ii) the CPSs and the imposition of Performance Credits for Amdocs failure to meet such CPSs, and the application of bonuses with respect thereto.
6.5 Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)
6.5.1 Disentanglement Process
The Disentanglement process will begin on the earlier of the following dates: (i) the [**] day prior to the end of the Term; or (ii) the date a Termination Notice is delivered by Sprint. During the Disentanglement process, Amdocs will perform certain services related to the transition of any terminated Services to Sprint or Sprints designee as described herein below (the Disentanglement Services), including but not limited to, after the Termination Date, certain continuation of the Services or any component thereof (the Continuation Services). Amdocs obligation to perform the Services, and Sprints obligation to pay for the Services in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, other than for the Disentanglement Services including the Continuation

After the Termination Date, Amdocs will provide the Disentanglement Services, including the Continuation Services, as and to the extent reasonably requested by Sprint, for up to [**] months after the Termination Date (the Initial Disentanglement Period), including any extensions thereof under Section 6.4 (Extension of Services) hereof (with the date on which Amdocs obligation to provide Disentanglement Services expires being referred to herein as the Expiration Date); provided, however, that, upon [**] days prior written notice, Sprint may extend such Expiration Date by up to [**] additional [**] month periods (each, an Additional Disentanglement Period and collectively, the Additional Disentanglement Periods). Following the Termination Date (i.e., during the Initial Disentanglement Period and Additional Disentanglement Periods, if any), the CPSs will remain in effect; provided, however, that Amdocs will not be subject to the application of any Performance Credits, or entitled to earn any Bonuses (as such term is defined in Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs))), during either the Initial Disentanglement Period or any Additional Disentanglement Period.

6.5.2 General Obligations
Amdocs will take all actions reasonably necessary to accomplish, on the Termination Date, a complete transition of responsibility for the Services being terminated from Amdocs to Sprint, or to any replacement provider designated by Sprint, including the performance by Amdocs of all of the obligations imposed upon it pursuant to this Section 6.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)), with no material interruption of or adverse impact on the Services or any other services provided by Third Parties (collectively, a Disentanglement). Prior to the Termination Date, Amdocs will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sprint and any new service provider and to perform the Disentanglement Services requested by Sprint and otherwise promptly take all steps required to assist Sprint in effecting a complete Disentanglement. Amdocs will perform the Disentanglement Services in accordance with the manner in which it provides similar services to its similarly sized customers.

Sprint will promptly provide Amdocs with written notice that Disentanglement satisfactory to Sprint has occurred (Disentanglement Notice). If Sprint refuses to issue the Disentanglement Notice based on its determination that Amdocs has not yet completed its Disentanglement obligations provided in this Section 6.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)), and Amdocs disagrees with such determination, Amdocs may submit the matter to the escalation procedures set forth in Section 4.5 (Dispute Resolution). Irrespective of the passing of the anticipated Termination Date, Amdocs obligation to perform the Disentanglement will not cease until the Expiration Date.

(b) Amdocs will use commercially reasonable efforts to convey or assign to Sprint (or its designee), any leases, licenses, and other agreements (except facility and financing leases), to the extent permissible under such agreements, that are requested by Sprint and are held by Amdocs (or cause to be conveyed or assigned any of the same held by any Affiliate of Amdocs) and used by Amdocs, Sprint, or any Subcontractor in connection with the provision or receipt of the Services (the Essential Agreements). Furthermore, whenever any Essential Agreement is extended, renewed, or renegotiated, Amdocs will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the other partys consent to such conveyance or assignment.

(1) a royalty-free, fully-paid, perpetual (subject to the continuing payment of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee to the extent applicable), non-transferable (except as permitted in this Agreement) license to Sprint (or its designee) to use, copy, modify, and exploit [**] the benefit of the use of, the Customized Materials [**] (subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 (Sprint Parties) hereof), in connection with the conduct of Sprints [**] business (which business will not include marketing itself, and operating as, a re-seller or re-licensor of software), with a right [**] to use, copy, and modify such Customized Materials solely to provide services to Sprint and subject to Section 6.5.5(e) (Confidentiality of Amdocs Material); and

In the event that, at any time after proper exercise of the Expanded License Option hereunder, Sprint does not make any required payment of any undisputed portion of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee, Amdocs will provide Sprint with written notice of such payment default. If the undisputed portion of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee is not fully paid within [**] days of Amdocs written notice, the licenses granted under this Section 6.5.5(c) (Expanded License to Customized Materials and Standard Materials) will terminate at such time and Sprint will return or destroy, at Amdocs option, all Customized Materials and Standard Materials previously delivered to Sprint hereunder. For the purpose of clarification, exercise of the Expanded License Option by Sprint hereunder will provide Sprint solely with a license as set forth herein and in no way is intended to or will affect ownership of Standard Materials (in which Amdocs will continue to own all right, title and interest) or Customized Materials (in which Amdocs will continue to own all right, title and interest, except as may be specifically set forth pursuant to this Agreement or an ASO).

(iii) The licenses granted in this Section 6.5.5(c) (Licenses to Customized Materials and Standard Materials) do not in any way reduce or expand the scope or term of any licenses or other rights otherwise granted to Sprint under this Agreement, or reduce or expand any other obligations of Amdocs hereunder, other than as specifically set forth herein.
(iv) No later than the earlier of (i) [**], or (ii) within [**] days after the [**], Sprint will notify Amdocs in writing of its intent to exercise or not exercise the Expanded License Option. If Sprint exercises the Expanded License Option, the entire Non-Recurring License Fee will be due and payable to Amdocs within [**] days of the notice of exercise. In addition to the Non-Recurring License Fee, Sprint will pay Amdocs a subsequent subscriber license fee, calculated annually on each anniversary of the end of the calendar quarter in which the [**] object code for the Customized Materials and object code for the Standard Materials is delivered (the Subscriber Base Date), starting from the first anniversary after the Subscriber Base Date, of [**] Cents ($[**]) times the [**]. The Subsequent Subscriber License Fee will be evaluated yearly based on the high water mark under which the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee has been previously calculated. For clarification, in the event that there is a decrease or no change in the number of year-over-year Subscribers, the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee will not apply until the number of Subscribers exceeds the last number upon which the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee was last paid. An example of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee calculation is set forth as Annex 3 (the Fee Calculations) to Exhibit C (Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions). Payment of the Subsequent Subscriber License Fee shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3.9 (Payments).

(i) In the event that Sprint exercises its Expanded License Option, Sprint may, with [**] days notice to Amdocs, at Sprints sole option and discretion, enter into a Maintenance Order with Amdocs providing for ongoing maintenance and support services (Post-Termination Maintenance), substantially in the form attached as Annex 1 (the Maintenance Order) to Exhibit C (Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions) attached hereto. If the Expanded License Option is exercised and Sprint and Amdocs enter into a Maintenance Order, Amdocs will provide Post-Termination Maintenance for the Generic Product at the fees set forth in Annex 1 (the Maintenance Order) to Exhibit C (Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions), on reasonable terms and conditions, which terms and conditions shall be negotiated between the Parties in good faith and be no less favorable to Sprint for Preferred level maintenance as those set forth in Annex 2 (Amdocs Product Support Overview) to Exhibit C (Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions), as the Amdocs Product Support Overview is amended by Amdocs from time to time. An example of the maintenance fees calculation is set forth as Annex 3 (the Fee Calculations) to Exhibit C (Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions).
(ii) Sprint acknowledges that as between Amdocs and Sprint, Amdocs owns all right, title and interest in and to any documentation, training materials, designs, discoveries, inventions, know-how, techniques, fixes, patches, workarounds, upgrades, service packs, customizations, modifications, enhancements or derivative works of the Generic Product

The Post-Termination Maintenance Work Product will be deemed to be part of the Standard Materials licensed to Sprint under the terms of Section 6.5.5(c)(i)(2) hereof, and Sprint is granted no title or ownership rights in any Maintenance Work Product, in whole or in part. Without limiting any prohibition provided herein, Sprint hereby assigns to Amdocs all right, title and interest in and to any and all derivative works of the Post-Termination Work Product or any other materials provided by Amdocs in connection with the performance of Post-Termination Maintenance hereunder.
(iii) In the event that the Parties enter into the Post-Termination Maintenance Order, the terms of this Agreement will continue to survive and apply to the relationship of the Parties under the Post-Termination Maintenance Order to the extent applicable; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Post-Termination Terms and Conditions or the Maintenance Order and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Post-Termination Maintenance Terms and Conditions and Maintenance Order will take precedence.
(e) Confidentiality of Amdocs Material
For the avoidance of doubt, Sprint agrees that, to the extent it is permitted by this Section 6.5.5 (Data Center Assets, Hosting Services, License and Maintenance Purchase Options) to provide Amdocs Confidential Materials to any Third Parties, it will first obtain such Third Partys agreement to confidentiality terms no less protective than the terms provided by this Agreement.
6.5.6 Charges for Disentanglement Services
For all Disentanglement Services provided to Sprint (not including the purchase options in Section 6.5.5 (Purchasing Options Upon Disentanglement)), Amdocs will charge Sprint and Sprint will pay Amdocs during the Initial Disentanglement Period and Additional Disentanglement Periods, as applicable, the greater of (i) the Monthly Subscriber Fee as provided in Schedule D (Charges) or (ii) [**] Dollars ($[**]).

Amdocs will defend, indemnify and hold Sprint, its Affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (Sprint Indemnitees) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, (collectively Costs) arising out of any claim by any Third Party against a Sprint 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 will indemnify the Sprint Indemnitees to the extent an infringement or claim of infringement could have been avoided by moving to a new release or version 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 Sprint to continue to use, or receive the benefit of, such Services Technology or develop or obtain a non-infringing substitute reasonably acceptable to Sprint. Amdocs will have no obligation to indemnify Sprint for any such claim or action to the extent that it is based upon: (i) modification of a program or machine by Sprint, any Third Party contractor to Sprint, or any agent of Sprint unless such modification (whether made by Sprint or any such contractor or agent) has been approved in advance by Amdocs; (ii) Sprints combination, operation or use with apparatus, data or programs neither furnished nor approved by Amdocs; (iii) the use by Sprint of any software provided to Sprint 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, in accordance with the applicable license agreement, of software owned by or licensed to Sprint by a party other than Amdocs and supplied by Sprint to Amdocs; or (v) any exact procedure, style, or graphic that Sprint requires Amdocs to follow or use in developing the Customized Product (such requirements, the Sprint Requirements) (the occurrences set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above, the Sprint Generated Claims). For the avoidance of doubt, the exception from Amdocs indemnification obligation described in clause (v) will not apply, and such occurrence will not constitute a Sprint Generated Claim, with respect to claims or actions (i) based upon the manner or methodology selected by Amdocs to execute the Sprint Requirements or (ii) for which Amdocs has not provided Sprint 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 Sprint Indemnitee is seeking indemnification under this Section 9.1.1 (Indemnity by Amdocs).
9.1.2 Indemnity by Sprint
Sprint will 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 Costs arising out of, any claim by any Third Party against any of them 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 Sprint that Sprint requires Amdocs to use in

performing the Services (Sprint Software) (if any) or any Sprint Requirements; or (y) to the extent that it is a Sprint Generated Claim. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, Sprint will 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 Sprint Software and Sprint was offered the new release or version and did not move to same. Sprint may, in its reasonable discretion, either procure a license to enable Amdocs to continue to use any such infringing Sprint Software or any Sprint Requirements or develop or obtain a non-infringing substitute or modify Sprints requirements so as to no longer require Amdocs to use the Sprint Software or any Sprint Requirements in performing the Services. Sprint will have no obligation to indemnify Amdocs for any such claim or action to the extent that it is based upon: (i) modification of a program or machine by Amdocs, any Third Party contractor to Amdocs, or any agent of Amdocs (other than pursuant to the Sprint Requirements, but including the manner or methodology selected by Amdocs to execute the Sprint Requirements); (ii) Amdocs combination, operation, or use with apparatus, data, or programs not furnished by Sprint; (iii) the use by Amdocs of any software provided by any Third Party other than in accordance with relevant software licenses whether or not such licenses are provided to Sprint; or (iv) the use, in accordance with the applicable license agreement, of software owned by or licensed to Amdocs by a party other than Sprint and supplied by Amdocs to Sprint (the occurrences set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, the Amdocs Generated Claims).
9.2 Tax Indemnity by Amdocs
Amdocs will defend, indemnify, and hold the Sprint Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Costs, including any assessment for tax, interest or penalty, arising out of any claim by any federal, state, or local taxing authority relating to federal, state, or local sales or transaction taxes that Sprint 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 will Amdocs be required to indemnify Sprint if such failure or alleged failure is due to errors inherent in the coding of the [**] software program or an error by Sprint 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 (Tax Indemnity by Amdocs) is being provided on the basis of Amdocs use of the [**] software program in performing the Services. If Amdocs, upon the mutual agreement of the Parties, at any time during the Term uses a different tax-related software program, in lieu of [**], Amdocs will provide an equivalent tax indemnity to that contained herein with respect to mistakes in billing.

SCHEDULE B
Roles and Responsibilities
This Schedule B to the Agreement identifies the Roles and Responsibilities of the Parties. Capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined will have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. The level of each Partys responsibility with respect to each of the obligations set forth in the this schedule is specified by the insertion of the letter O, P or V adjacent to such obligation and beneath such Partys name. The letter O indicates that a Party owns overall and ultimate accountability for completion of a task. The letter P indicates that a Party has a Participation role with respect to a task, and that a Party designated O may require such Party to provide certain resources or perform tasks that may be necessary for the overall task to be completed, in an amount that is commercially reasonable, under the circumstances. Both parties will communicate in an on-going fashion when the P is a necessity. The letter V indicates that a Party has visibility with respect to a task, and that such Party has the right, but not the obligation, to contribute, provide resources or review the process for completion of a task. The absence of any letter indicates that a Party shall have no right to have an input or any obligation with respect to a task.

1.2. | Measurement Structure |
Each CPS shall be measured using a Blue-Green-Yellow-Red traffic light mechanism (the Individual CPS BGYR State), with Blue representing the highest level of performance and Red representing the lowest level of performance. Depending on the specific Individual CPS BGYR State, [**]. Also, on a monthly basis, an overall CPS score (the Overall CPS Score) will be determined by assigning points to each CPS based on its Individual CPS BGYR State and its Criticality Level (with a higher Overall CPS Score indicative of a lower level of performance by Amdocs). The matrix set forth below describes the methodology for computing the Overall CPS Score.

The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling and is not to be considered as additive to the [**]. The [**] is a mechanism designed to limit the amount of [**] that can be netted against subsequent [**] due to Sprint by Amdocs during the calendar year, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (Column C) which is limited to the [**] will be [**], as defined in Section 1.5 of this Schedule C1-Ret. All [**] amounts earned, including the $[**] that fall within the [**] will be taken into account to determine if the [**] has been reached, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (column C of example) does not carry over into the coming calendar year and is not eligible to be used for offset of [**] in the subsequent calendar year.
[**] Example: The following table includes an example that illustrates application of the [**]. The example used here assumes that Amdocs achieves [**]; after [**] of [**], Amdocs again achieves [**] from [**], (column B). Amdocs reaches the annual maximum $[**] during the month of [**].
The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling. In the example, that maximum is reached in the months of [**] (as shown in column C). The [**] (column C) is adjusted downward in months during which the [**] amount (column B) is negative as a result of a [**] associated with a [**] of Amdocs service performance during the months of [**]. The amount payable to either Amdocs or Sprint is reflected in column D as prescribed in this section 1.4.4.

1.6. | Creditable Performance Specification Review and Change Process |
CPSs are subject to review on the following occasions throughout the Term:
| [**] Review: Amdocs and Sprint shall set a mutually agreed date to conduct [**] reviews of the CPS and Amdocs performance with respect to the CPS. At a minimum, the [**] review will include: |
| [**] review of the [**]; |
| [**], if any, based upon mutual written agreement. Amdocs will make the required system updates in order that any revised CPS will become effective January first of the following year. Schedule C1-Ret [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time); Amdocs will tune its system to accommodate any agreed CPS change each [**]. The new CPS will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
| Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to Schedule C1-Ret on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
Exclusion/inclusion process: Within the measurement period any change to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team in a manner that allows for timely delivery of reports and the availability of applicable research data. The exclusion is then documented in the SLA Exclusion List spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, exclusion resolution, approvers name and approval date. Inclusions are tracked via the ticketing process. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the SLA Exclusion List or the inclusion ticket and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed. If the approved exclusion or inclusion results in a change to the Performance Credit or Bonus then parties will mutually agree to republish or restate the monthly CPS reports.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective.

2.1. | Measurement Structure |
Each CPS shall be measured using a Blue-Green-Yellow-Red traffic light mechanism (the Individual CPS BGYR State), with Blue representing the highest level of performance and Red representing the lowest level of performance. Depending on the specific Individual CPS BGYR State, [**]. Also, on a monthly basis, an overall CPS score (the Overall CPS Score) will be determined by assigning points to each CPS based on its Individual CPS BGYR State and its Criticality Level (with a higher Overall CPS Score indicative of a lower level of performance by Amdocs). The matrix set forth below describes the methodology for computing the Overall CPS Score:

| [**] review of the [**]; |
| [**], if any, based upon mutual written agreement. Amdocs will make the required system updates in order that any revised CPS will become effective January first of the following year. Schedule C1-Whl [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time); Amdocs will tune its system to accommodate any agreed CPS change each [**]. The new CPS will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
| Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to Schedule C1-Whl on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
Any item to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team. The item is then documented in the SLA Exclusion List spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, inclusion/exclusion resolution, approvers name and approval date. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the SLA Exclusion List and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective.

The total sum of bonus for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale platforms during any calendar quarter will be capped at $[**] (the Quarterly Bonus Cap).
If the sum of bonus for the Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale platforms exceeds $[**] during any quarter, the total quarterly bonus will be adjusted downwards to the Quarterly Bonus Cap.
Each quarter will be evaluated independently and the quarterly bonuses, after applying the Quarterly Bonus Cap, will be added to calculate the maximum annual bonus (the Total Adjusted Quarterly Accrual). In the event that the Total Adjusted Quarterly Accrual:
a. | is higher than the sum of Maximum Annual Net Amount Due Amdocs for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale, [**] |
b. | is equal to or lower than the sum of Maximum Annual Net Amount Due Amdocs for Postpaid, Prepaid and Wholesale, [**] |

The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling for both Postpaid and Prepaid platforms is not to be considered as additive to the [**]. The [**] is a mechanism designed to limit the amount of [**] that can be netted against subsequent [**] due to Sprint by Amdocs during the calendar year, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (Column C) which is limited to the [**] will be reported on the monthly CPS Report, as defined in Section 1.5 of this Schedule. All [**] amounts earned, including the $[**] for Postpaid and $[**] for Prepaid that fall within the [**] will be taken into account to determine if the [**] has been reached, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (column C of example) does not carry over into the coming calendar year and is not eligible to be used for offset of [**] in the subsequent calendar year.
[**] Example: The following table includes an example that illustrates application of the [**]. The example used here assumes that Amdocs achieves [**]; after [**] of [**], Amdocs again achieves [**] from [**], (column B). Amdocs reaches the annual maximum $[**] for Postpaid and $[**] for Prepaid during the month of [**].
The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling for both Postpaid and Prepaid. In the example, that maximum is reached in the months of [**] (as shown in column C). The [**] (column C) is adjusted downward in months during which the [**] amount (column B) is negative as a result of a [**] associated with a [**] of Amdocs service performance during the months of [**]. The amount payable to either Amdocs or Sprint is reflected in column E as prescribed in this section 1.4.5.2.

1.5. | Monthly CPS Report |
On a monthly basis, Amdocs shall provide a written report to Sprint which includes the following information (the Monthly CPS Report): (i) Amdocs quantitative performance for each CPS & KPI; (ii) each Individual CPS & KPI BGYR State and the Overall CPS & KPI Score; (iii) any monthly [**] for each CPS; (iv) the year-to-date [**] for each CPS and all the CPS; (v) a [**] and corrective action plan with respect to any CPS & KPI where the Individual CPS & KPI BGYR State was not Blue or Green during the preceding month; and (vi) trend or statistical analysis with respect to each CPS & KPI as requested by Sprint. The Preliminary Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] of the following month and the Final Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] of the following month. The Monthly CPS Report, delivered on the [**] of the following month, will include each CPS/KPI being tracked by Amdocs.
Amdocs will continue to provide a service level data feed to Sprint for the Service Scope system. New solutions will be reviewed and collaborated as the web reporting definition evolves.
1.6. | Creditable Performance Specification Review and Change Process |
CPSs are subject to review on the following occasions throughout the Term:
| [**] Review: Amdocs and Sprint shall set a mutually agreed date to conduct [**] reviews of the CPS and Amdocs performance with respect to the CPS. At a minimum, the [**] review will include: |
| [**] review of the [**]; |
| [**], if any, based upon mutual written agreement. Amdocs will make the required system updates in order that any revised CPS will become effective January first of the following year. Schedule C2-Pre [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time); Amdocs will tune its system to accommodate any agreed CPS change each [**]. The new CPS will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
| Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to Schedule C2-Pre on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
Exclusion/inclusion process: Within the measurement period any change to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team in a manner that allows for timely delivery of reports and the availability of applicable research data. The exclusion is then documented in the SLA Exclusion
8 | SLA Management |
List spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, exclusion resolution, approvers name and approval date. Inclusions are tracked via the ticketing process. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the SLA Exclusion List or the inclusion ticket and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed. If the approved exclusion or inclusion results in a change to the Performance Credit or Bonus then parties will mutually agree to republish or restate the monthly CPS reports.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective.

The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling for both Postpaid and Prepaid platforms and is not to be considered as additive to the [**]. The [**] is a mechanism designed to limit the amount of [**] that can be netted against subsequent [**] due to Sprint by Amdocs during the calendar year, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (Column C) which is limited to the [**] will be reported on the monthly CPS Report, as defined in Section 1.5 of this Schedule. All [**] amounts earned, including the $[**] for Postpaid and $[**] for Prepaid that fall within the [**] will be taken into account to determine if the [**] has been reached, as illustrated in the table below. The [**] (column C of example) does not carry over into the coming calendar year and is not eligible to be used for offset of [**] in the subsequent calendar year.
[**] Example: The following table includes an example that illustrates application of the [**]. The example used here assumes that Amdocs achieves [**]; after [**] of [**], Amdocs again achieves [**] from [**] (column B). Amdocs reaches the annual maximum $[**] for Postpaid and $[**] for Prepaid during the month of [**].
The [**] is a $[**] annual ceiling for both Postpaid and Prepaid. In the example, that maximum is reached in the months of [**] (as shown in column C). The [**] (column C) is adjusted downward in months during which the [**] amount (column B) is negative as a result of a [**] associated with a [**] of Amdocs service performance during the months of [**]. The amount payable to either Amdocs or Sprint is reflected in column E as prescribed in this section 1.4.5.

1.5. | Monthly CPS Report |
On a monthly basis, Amdocs shall provide a written report to Sprint which includes the following information (the Monthly CPS Report): (i) Amdocs quantitative performance for each CPS & KPI; (ii) each Individual CPS & KPI BGYR State and the Overall CPS & KPI Score;
8 | SLA Management |
(iii) any monthly [**] for each CPS; (iv) the year-to-date [**] for each CPS and all the CPS; (v) a [**] and corrective action plan with respect to any CPS & KPI where the Individual CPS & KPI BGYR State was not Blue or Green during the preceding month; and (vi) trend or statistical analysis with respect to each CPS & KPI as requested by Sprint. The Preliminary Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] of the following month and the Final Monthly CPS Report shall be due on the [**] of the following month. The Monthly CPS Report, delivered on the [**] of the following month, will include each CPS/KPI being tracked by Amdocs.
Amdocs will continue to provide a service level data feed to Sprint for the Service Scope system. New solutions will be reviewed and collaborated as the web reporting definition evolves.
1.6. | Creditable Performance Specification Review and Change Process |
CPSs are subject to review on the following occasions throughout the Term:
| [**] Review: Amdocs and Sprint shall set a mutually agreed date to conduct [**] reviews of the CPS and Amdocs performance with respect to the CPS. At a minimum, the [**] review will include: |
| [**] review of the [**]; |
| [**], if any, based upon mutual written agreement. Amdocs will make the required system updates in order that any revised CPS will become effective January first of the following year. Schedule C2-Post [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time); Amdocs will tune its system to accommodate any agreed CPS change each [**]. The new CPS will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
| Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to Schedule C2-Post on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
Exclusion/inclusion process: Within the measurement period any change to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team in a manner that allows for timely delivery of reports and the availability of applicable research data. The exclusion is then documented in the SLA Exclusion List spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, exclusion resolution, approvers name and approval date. Inclusions are tracked via the ticketing process. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the SLA Exclusion List or the inclusion ticket and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed. If the approved exclusion or inclusion results in a change to the Performance Credit or Bonus then parties will mutually agree to republish or restate the monthly CPS reports.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective.

For the avoidance of doubt, in order to score Blue, a minimum of [**]% of transactions must complete within [**] and [**]% within [**]. To score Green, a minimum of [**]% must complete within [**]% within [**], and [**]% within [**]. To score Yellow, a minimum of [**]% of transactions must complete within [**]% within [**], and [**]% within [**]. If [**]% or more of the transactions exceed [**], then the score will be Red.

The new CPS will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
| Sprint may request to include a new CPS(s) or an Associated Measure(s) to this Schedule C2-Whl on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the CPS (s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement within [**] months from the date of such agreement. |
(Not Applicable) Any item to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA team. The item is then documented in the SLA Exclusion List spreadsheet which contains the CPS affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, inclusion/exclusion resolution, approvers name and approval date. This information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the SLA Exclusion List and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed.
If requested by either party, Amdocs or Sprint, changes to any CPS shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Senior Management Teams prior to becoming effective

Certain CPS definitions include more than one associated measurement to determine the composite score for the CPS. It is therefore necessary to merge the results from the associated measurements in order to determine the score for an individual CPS for the Measurement Period. [**]
There are circumstances when a CPS or Associated Measure may become inactive or not applicable for a Measurement Period. For circumstances where a measure is not to be included, the color will be set to White. [**].

(viii) | For the avoidance of doubt, the various subscriber types are defined as: |
(1) | A Subscriber has the meaning given in Section 12.1 (Defined Terms) of the Agreement. |
(2) | A Retail Subscriber means a Subscriber who is not a [**] or such other categories that the Parties may mutually establish. |
(3) | A Wholesale Subscriber means a Subscriber which has its billing account with a [**] of Sprint (i.e., the end-user customer referred to in 6.E(viii)(4) below). |
(4) | A Wholesale Customer means a [**] of Sprints [**] for such [**] (whether under the Sprint brand or otherwise); that is, in the case of Wholesale Customer, the relationship with the end-user customer is owned by the Wholesale Customer and not by Sprint. |
(5) | A Prepaid Subscriber means a Subscriber for which usage is [**] on such Subscriber [**] for such [**] of consumption and continued usage is dependent upon maintaining a positive account balance. |
In determining the fractional value of Prepaid Subscribers to offset Retail Shortfall, depending upon the status of such Prepaid Subscribers, the following table will apply:

Status |
[**] of a Prepaid Subscriber | |
[**] | [**] | |
[**] | [**] | |
[**] | [**] | |
[**] | [**] | |
[**] | [**] |
Annex E contains the definitions of each of the Prepaid Subscriber statuses described in the table above.
(ix) | Calculation of the MSF. |
(1) | Amdocs will calculate the number of Subscribers through the following mechanism. For each bill cycle used for Subscribers, Amdocs will determine the number of Subscribers that have been processed during that bill cycle. Once the final bill cycle of a [**] been run, Amdocs will calculate the total number of Subscribers for that [**], which is the aggregate of each bill cycle Subscriber count for that [**]. These Subscriber values will be calculated independently for [**]. |
(2) | Amdocs will invoice Sprint in the MSF for cancelled Subscribers up to but not [**] from the date of cancellation. If, after the [**] day, there is new billing activity (e.g. [**], payments) for the Subscriber, Amdocs will invoice Sprint for the MSF for the [**] in which the new billing activity occurs. Annex C to this Schedule D1 provides an example of the application of the above provision. |
For each cancelled Subscriber, Amdocs will set the field STATUS-CODE in the BILL-SUBSCRIBER table of the Customized Product to a value of C.
(3) | As the Customized Product invoices cancelled Subscribers for up to [**] beyond their cancellation date, and in order to comply with the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, Sprint and Amdocs will modify the following Customized Product reference tables to be capped in the aggregate at [**]: |
Page 8
[**]
(4) | In addition, in order to comply with the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the [**] in the Customized Product logic for the accommodation of late charges and adjustments will be [**], but only for the purpose of the above compliance. In the event that Subscribers are moved to an alternative bill cycle as a result of load balancing, Amdocs will invoice Sprint for those Subscribers [**]. In the event that a Subscriber is shifted to a different cycle, Sprint must approve any cycle shifting prior to Amdocs completing the shift. Amdocs and Sprint will collectively reconcile any such shifts to ensure Sprint is not charged for these Subscribers multiple times. |
(5) | [**] after cancellation for a given cancelled Subscriber, the BAN containing that Subscriber has no active Subscribers but still has an outstanding balance due or a [**], and that balance or [**] is not in a Written-Off status in the Customized Product, then for the purpose of such invoicing, Amdocs will consider this BAN as having a single Subscriber until such time as the balance or [**] is Written-Off, or the balance becomes [**] as a result of a payment being applied or a [**] balance being refunded. [**]. |
7. | Amdocs Rate for Additional Services. For any development Additional Services requested by Sprint under the Agreement, the labor rate will be as follows (not inclusive of CPI adjustments) (the Rate): |

For the avoidance of doubt, the above Rates will apply as of the Effective Date.
The Amdocs Rates set forth in Table 7 above will not be applied with respect to [**], unless agreed otherwise by Amdocs.
The above Amdocs Rates for 2013 may be adjusted no more frequently than [**], commencing [**] by the rate of [**] as applicable in the definition of Amdocs Rate in the Agreement.
As long as Section 2.19 of Schedule K1 is in effect, Scoping Services rendered pursuant to the provisions of that Section 2.19, Schedule K1 will not be subject to the Amdocs Rates in Table 7 above and will not be counted towards the tiers in Table 7. In this Section 7, Scoping Services means Services described in Section 2.19 of Schedule K1, as follows: (1) Define Phase Services; and (ii) Discover Phase Services; and (iii) the Design Phase Services through delivery, walkthrough(s) and acceptance by Sprint to the extent applicable to the provision of the Impact Assessment Document, HLE, Initial DFS, and the associated deliverables as outlined in Section 2.19 of Schedule K1.
Additionally, the labor price associated with any consulting or development Services, provided by Amdocs, that are not directly applicable to the further customization and Services in support of Amdocs customer care and billing platform (e.g., [**]), will be based on either the existing labor rates under the applicable separate agreement between the Parties, or rates specifically negotiated on an engagement by engagement basis.
7.A | It is further agreed that if Section 2.19 of Schedule K1expires or terminates for any reason prior to [**], the 2013 Amdocs Rates detailed in Table 7 above will be adjusted to $[**]. Amdocs Rates and Off-Shore Plan. |

(ii) | Whenever Amdocs relocates any Services, or changes the proportionate volume of Services among locations: |
(1) | If the change is [**], Amdocs may implement the change without notice to or consent of Sprint. |
(2) | If the change is [**], Amdocs will give prior written notification to Sprint and Sprint will have the opportunity to object, but Amdocs implementation of the change need not be delayed to obtain Sprints approval. |
(3) | If the change is [**], Amdocs will give prior written notification to Sprint and may not implement the change until Sprints written approval is obtained, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. |
(iii) | The following conditions will apply when determining whether to classify a Committed Operation Services change or relocation as [**]. |
(1) | Any and all movement of hardware, regardless of location and volume will be considered as [**]. |
(2) | Any and all activity involving Sprint Restricted Data will be considered as [**]. |
(3) | Any and all relocation of employee management responsibilities will be considered as [**]. |
(4) | The opening of any new data, or service facility that will support the Sprint business will be considered as [**] |
(5) | Any movement [**]% of the total labor force associated with a particular service in a particular location will be considered as [**]. |
Page 11
(6) | Any movement [**]% [**]% of the total labor force associated with a particular service in a particular location will be considered as [**]. |
(7) | Any movement of [**]% of the total labor force associated with a particular service in a particular location will be considered as [**]. |
(iv) | Amdocs will provide a [**] plan to Sprint, detailing the number of resources within each function that it intends to [**], as well as the timing associated with such movement. If, at any point within a [**], Amdocs intends to [**]resources in a manner that deviates from the [**] plan, Amdocs will notify Sprint of such changes and seek Sprints approval as required in Section 7.A. |
(v) | Amdocs commits that no Sprint customer-facing positions will be moved [**] at any point during the Term of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, [**], at no point will a [**] be required to [**]. |
(vi) | For clarity, the Parties agree that the conditions listed in Sections 7.A(ii) to 7.A(v) above do not apply to development Services and Scoping Services. For clarity, and notwithstanding the foregoing, any requirements listed in Sections 7.A(ii) to 7.A(v) related to Sprint Restricted Data still apply to development Services and Scoping Services. |
(vii) | For the development Services, Amdocs will provide a [**] plan to Sprint that will be updated on a [**] basis, detailing the [**]. It is agreed that [**]. If Amdocs makes a material change to the [**] plan, Amdocs will notify Sprint at least [**] days prior to such a change. |
(viii) | For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.A will limit or otherwise negate Amdocs obligation under the Agreement to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, which may include, without limitation, restrictions and/or prohibitions regarding the performance of the Services from locations outside of the United States. In the event that (i) a change in an applicable law, rule or regulation requires Amdocs to perform certain or all of the Services from locations solely in the United |
Page 12
States and (ii) such requirement would cause Amdocs to have to cease performing Services from locations outside of the United States where Amdocs had previously complied with all requirements of the Agreement with respect to being permitted to perform such Services from locations outside of the United States, then the Parties agree to meet in good faith to discuss what impact, if any, such requirement may have with respect to the charges set forth in this Schedule D1 and determine by mutual agreement what, if any, action should be taken with respect thereto. |
7.B | Additional Services Fee. Sprint will pay Amdocs for the Additional Services the Additional Services Fee as provided for in the Additional Services Orders, which will be calculated based upon the Amdocs Rates for Additional Services defined above. |
7.C | Additional Development Commitments. Sprint agrees to engage Amdocs to perform Additional Services (in addition to the other Services otherwise provided for herein) in an amount of $[**] in calendar year [**] (Additional Development Commitment).

If Sprint does not utilize the full volume of hours, up to [**]% [**] of the committed hours will be allowed to carry forward and be fulfilled in calendar year [**]. At the end of calendar year [**] Sprint will pay for any unfulfilled hours carried from previous calendar year. Amdocs will provide a [**] hour reduction to the [**] hour commitment if applications associated with one or more of the Services in the MSF are terminated. This will be a [**] and will be effective in the year following the application sunset through the end of the Term. |
8. | Envelope Parameters. To the extent that Schedule L1 (Envelope Parameters) to the Agreement contemplates any additional fees to be payable by Sprint to Amdocs in the event that an envelope parameter stated therein is exceeded, then [**]. |
9. | Other Charges. Any other Services of Amdocs that are requested by Sprint and are not within the scope of the Services as of the date of execution hereof will be paid for by Sprint in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.2 (Adjustment of Charges) of the Agreement. Amdocs will invoice Sprint for such other Services [**], unless a fixed price arrangement is agreed upon by the Parties, where, in such a case, the Parties will agree on the payment terms. |
Page 13
10. | Reimbursable Expenses. Sprint will reimburse Amdocs for all travel and living expenses of its personnel participating in the performance of this Agreement in accordance with Annex A to this Schedule D1. |
11. | Production CR Charges. |
11.A | Sprint will pay Amdocs for the Production CRs Charges as provided for in the Production CRs . However, if no specific fixed price amount is agreed upon for a particular Production CR and specified in the applicable Production CRs, Amdocs will charge Sprint and Sprint will pay Amdocs for all of Amdocs efforts performing such Production CRs at the then current Amdocs Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 8 of this Schedule D1 will apply with regard to Amdocs development efforts of the Production CRs). |
11.B | In addition, in the event that an Impact Assessment Document is created by Amdocs for a particular Production CR pursuant to the Fast Track Procedure and Sprint then decides not to proceed with development of that Production CRs (either at all or a decision is made to include such development within an Additional Release), then Sprint will pay Amdocs for the efforts spent in producing the Impact Assessment Document up to the maximum amount (if any) of Additional Services hours stated as applicable at the then current Amdocs Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 8 of this Schedule D1 will apply with regard to such payment). If a decision is made to include such development within an Additional Release then, for avoidance of doubt, Amdocs will not be able to charge Sprint as part of that Additional Release for Services and Deliverables already charged for pursuant to the procedures set forth in this paragraph for Production CRs. For avoidance of doubt, the Additional Services Order for the Additional Release to which such development is moved may reflect any incremental development costs associated with such development as a result of including such development as part of the Additional Release. |

6.C.4 MSF Assumptions.
The following assumption applies to Table 6.C.1:
| The pricing set forth in Table 6.C.1 above will be calculated based on a [**] mechanism in which the reduced pricing for each tier applies [**]. For example, if there are [**] million Active Subscribers in a given month, then the total MSF would be $[**]. |
6D. MSF [**] for Subscribers. Sprint will receive the following [**] against MSF charges accruing hereunder as described below:
(1) | Discretionary [**]. |
a) | Amdocs will grant Sprint a [**] of $[**], to be applied against the MSF charges under Schedule D1. The amount will be [**] to Sprint on [**]. |

(2) | Tax Rating Service [**]. |
a) | Amdocs will [**] Sprint $[**] per month on the monthly Prepaid Subscriber invoice with respect to Sprints engagement of a Third Party Provider for tax rating services. Effective the first month that conversions begin for the VMU and Assurance Wireless brand Subscribers, Amdocs will increase the [**] amount to Sprint from $[**] per month to $[**] per month on the monthly Prepaid Subscriber invoice. |
b) | The [**] of $[**] will last until such time as Sprints Third Party Provider tax rating services are terminated. Sprint will provide a [**] day notice to Amdocs in advance of terminating such Services with the Third Party Provider. It will be Amdocs responsibility to either provide the tax rating service itself or securing services from a Third Party vendor. Amdocs will be responsible for the commercially reasonable transition costs otherwise the Parties will negotiate the transition costs in good faith. |
(3) | Prepaid [**] for Prepaid Subscribers. Once full [**] is completed, Sprint will be entitled to additional [**] in accordance with the following Prepaid Subscriber thresholds: |
a) | If the number of Prepaid Subscribers exceeds [**], Sprint will be entitled to receive up to [**] annual development hours [**] to Sprint for so long as Sprint [**] for [**] hours of development Services minimum commitment as outlined in section 7C below. |
b) | If the number of Prepaid Subscribers exceeds [**], Sprint will be entitled to receive up to [**] annual development hours [**] to Sprint for so long as Sprint [**] for [**] hours of development Services minimum commitment as outlined in section 7C below. |

Annex F contains the definitions of each of the Prepaid Subscriber statuses described in the table above.
(7) | Calculation of the MSF |
a) | Amdocs will calculate the number of Subscribers through the following mechanism. For each bill cycle used for Subscribers, Amdocs will determine the number of Subscribers that have been processed during that bill cycle. Once the final bill cycle of a [**] been run, Amdocs will calculate the total number of Subscribers that for that [**], which is the aggregate of each bill cycle Subscriber count for that [**]. These Subscriber values will be calculated independently for [**]. |
Page 12
b) | Amdocs will invoice Sprint in the MSF for cancelled Subscribers up to but not [**] from the date of cancellation. If, after the [**] day, there is new billing activity (e.g. [**], payments) for the Subscriber, Amdocs will invoice Sprint for the MSF for the [**] in which the new billing activity occurs. Annex D to this Schedule D2 provides an example of the application of the above provision. |
For each cancelled Subscriber, Amdocs will set the field STATUS-CODE in the BILL-SUBSCRIBER table of the Customized Product to a value of C.
c) | As the Customized Product invoices cancelled Subscribers for up to [**] beyond their cancellation date, and in order to comply with the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, Sprint and Amdocs will modify the following Customized Product reference tables to be capped in the aggregate at [**] |

In the event that Subscribers are moved to an alternative bill cycle as a result of load balancing, Amdocs will invoice Sprint for those Subscribers [**]. In the event that a Subscriber is shifted to a different cycle, Sprint must approve any cycle shifting prior to Amdocs completing the shift. Amdocs and Sprint will collectively reconcile any such shifts to ensure Sprint is not charged for these Subscribers multiple times. |
e) | [**] after cancellation for a given cancelled Subscriber, the BAN containing that Subscriber has no active Subscribers but still has an outstanding balance due or a [**], and that balance or [**] is not in a Written-Off status in the Customized Product, then for the purpose of such invoicing, Amdocs will consider this BAN as having a single Subscriber until such time as the balance or [**] is Written-Off, or the balance becomes [**] as a result of a payment being applied or a [**] balance being refunded. [**]. |

(8) | For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7A will limit or otherwise negate Amdocs obligation under the Agreement to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, which may include, without limitation, restrictions and/or prohibitions regarding the performance of the Services from locations outside of the United States. In the event that (i) a change in an applicable law, rule or regulation requires Amdocs to perform certain or all of the Services from locations solely in the United States and (ii) such requirement would cause Amdocs to have to cease performing Services from locations outside of the United States where Amdocs had previously complied with all requirements of the Agreement with respect to being permitted to perform such Services from locations outside of the United States, then the Parties agree to meet in good faith to discuss what impact, if any, |
Page 16

At the end of the following calendar year, Sprint will pay for any of the unfulfilled hours carried from the previous calendar year. |
(3) | Sprint will receive a one-time [**] hour reduction of the [**] paid hour commitment, to carry forward annually, which applies when one or more of the Sprint applications as listed in Appendix A of Schedule A are sunset. This [**] will be effective in the year following the application sunset through the end of the term. For the avoidance of doubt, if the [**] allowed under Section 7C of Schedule D1 has been taken, an additional [**] hour commitment [**] under this Schedule D2 will not be allowed. |
7D. Additional Fees Prepaid
Historical data requirements As compensation for Amdocs keeping Prepaid rated events for [**] days, Sprint will pay an annual fee of $[**].
8. | Historical data requirements As compensation for Amdocs keeping Prepaid rated events for [**] days, Sprint will pay an annual fee of $[**] starting [**] and every year after.

However, if no specific fixed price amount is agreed upon for a particular Production CR, Amdocs will charge Sprint and Sprint will pay Amdocs for all of Amdocs efforts performing such Production CRs at the then current Amdocs Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 7 of this Schedule D2 will apply with regard to Amdocs development efforts of the Production CRs). |
(2) | In addition, in the event that an Impact Assessment Document is created by Amdocs for a particular Production CR pursuant to the Fast Track Procedure and Sprint then decides not to proceed with development of that Production CRs (either at all or a decision is made to include such development within an Additional Release), then Sprint will pay Amdocs for the efforts spent in producing the Impact Assessment Document up to the maximum amount (if any) of Additional Services hours at the then current Amdocs Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 7 of this Schedule D2 will apply with regard to such payment). If a decision is made to include such development within an Additional Release then, for avoidance of doubt, Amdocs will not be able to charge Sprint as part of that Additional Release for Services and Deliverables already charged for pursuant to the procedures set forth in this paragraph for Production CRs. For avoidance of doubt, the Additional Services |
Page 18
Order for the Additional Release to which such development is moved may reflect any incremental development costs associated with such development as a result of including such development as part of the Additional Release. |
12. | Customer Invoices. Upon Sprints request, Amdocs will retrieve from the Data Center archives, and provide to Sprint within five (5) business days of Sprints request, any customer invoice designated by Sprint. The first [**] of such invoices in a calendar year will be provided to Sprint at no additional charge. Any invoice above the initial [**] will be provided to Sprint for a fee of $[**] per invoice. |

SCHEDULE J
DIVERSITY POLICY
1.0 | DEFINITIONS |
Certified Diverse Supplier means a supplier that has been certified by a qualified independent third-party agency as one or more of the following:
¡ | Woman-owned business | ¡ | Minority-owned business | |||
¡ | HUBZone business concern | ¡ | 8(a) business concern | |||
¡ | Service-disabled veteran-owned business | ¡ | Veteran-owned business | |||
¡ | Small business (US Small Business Administration certification only) |
¡ | HBC/U (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) | |||
¡ | Small disadvantaged business |
Utilization Requirements means the target percentages for Amdocs use of Certified Diverse Suppliers in providing products and Services.
2.0 | SCOPE |
This Schedule J sets forth Sprints supplier diversity policy and Amdocs obligations under that policy, including Amdocs use of Certified Diverse Suppliers and the regular reporting of such use.
3.0 | POLICY |
Sprints supplier diversity policy requires that Certified Diverse Suppliers will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in providing products and Services to Sprint to the fullest extent consistent with efficient contract performance.
4.0 | AMDOCS GOOD FAITH EFFORTS |
Amdocs failure to use good faith efforts to comply with this Schedule, including Amdocs failure to provide quarterly reports or to cooperate in any investigation conducted by Sprint of Amdocs performance under this Schedule (as agreed to herein below), will be considered a material breach by Amdocs of this Agreement. If Sprint reasonably determines that Amdocs has not made good faith efforts (i.e. willfully or intentionally failing to comply with its Diversity Plan) to comply with any provision of this Schedule, Sprint will provide written notice that Amdocs is in material breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, where Amdocs has executed Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve its Utilization Requirements as set in Section 7 to this Schedule, failure by Amdocs to reach its Utilization Requirements shall not be considered a Default or a breach of the Agreement or this Schedule.
5.0 | AMDOCS REQUIREMENTS |
Amdocs agrees to cooperate in any studies or surveys that may be conducted by Sprint representatives or federal or state agencies to determine the extent of Amdocs compliance with this Schedule, in so far as they are obligated by the applicable law and regulations.
6.0 | AMDOCS DIVERSITY PLAN |
6.1. | Within 30 calendar days of the Effective Date, Amdocs will provide Sprint with a strategic supplier diversity subcontracting plan outlining the methodology to be used by Amdocs to meet its contractual obligation to Sprint regarding the use of Certified Diverse Suppliers (Diversity Plan). |
6.1.1. Amdocs Diversity Plan must, at a minimum, address the following:
(a) | Amdocs will fairly consider Certified Diverse Suppliers for use as Amdocs subcontractors and vendors under this Agreement. |
(b) | Amdocs Utilization Requirements. |
(c) | Records documenting (i) procedures adopted by Amdocs to comply with this Schedule, including the establishment of a Certified Diverse Suppliers source list; (ii) awards made to Certified Diverse Suppliers on the source list; and (iii) specific efforts to identify and award contracts to Certified Diverse Suppliers. |
(d) | Name and contact information of Amdocs liaison manager designee responsible for interfacing with Sprints supplier diversity department and administering Suppliers Diversity Plan. |
7.0 | UTILIZATION REQUIREMENT |
Amdocs must make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to meet the targeted diversity vendor spend of [**] annually or over the term of the Agreement of Amdocs revenues from this Agreement, via the use of First, Second and Third Tier vendor arrangements. The above target will be gradually increased from the above [**] percent ([**]%) to [**] percent ([**]%) by no later than the year [**]. Amdocs will satisfy the Utilization Requirement through the use of Certified Diverse Suppliers and may include all or part of its subcontractors who do not provide services or deliverables under this Agreement in calculating its aggregate Certified Diverse Supplier procurement spend for this Agreement. The Utilization Requirement calculation is based on GAAP revenue and expense.
In this Schedule J:
| Commercially Reasonable Efforts are defined as those business activities that allow Amdocs to successfully meet its commitments to Sprint under this Schedule in the most timely, efficient, and cost effective manner possible, while still actively promoting the use of Certified Diverse Suppliers. |
| First Tier arrangements are defined as situations in which Amdocs directly contracts with Certified Diverse Suppliers for goods and services directly used in meeting the requirements of Sprint contained in the Agreement. |
| Second Tier arrangements are defined as situations in which Amdocs directly contracts with Certified Diverse Suppliers for goods and services in the normal course of business, but that are not directly used to meet the requirements of Sprint contained in the Agreement. |
| Third Tier arrangements are defined as situations in which Amdocs is allowed credit for goods and services that although they were not directly purchased from a Certified Diverse Suppliers by Amdocs, itself, they were purchased by vendors to Amdocs, pursuant to meeting the needs of Sprint contained in the Agreement. An example of a Third Tier spend would be Amdocs requirement that the general contractor used to build a new data center for Sprint use Certified Diverse Suppliers for a portion of its contract with Amdocs. |
8.0 | REPORTING |
8.1. | Amdocs will, within [**] of the end of each [**], submit [**] reports detailing its use of Certified Diverse Suppliers to meet the Utilization Requirement under this Agreement. Amdocs will submit these reports in a reasonable Sprint-specified format. The reports will be electronic and must include: (1) the total amount of invoices, expressed in dollars for payment by Sprint to Amdocs, for Services and Deliverables under this |
Agreement; (2) Payments made to a Certified Diverse Supplier for the Services and Deliverables provided under this Agreement (2nd and 3rd Tier), the total amount, expressed in dollars, during that [**]; and (3) the total amount, expressed in dollars, which includes Amdocs indirect 2nd and 3rd Tier spend. . |
8.2. | Before the Effective Date, Amdocs must register at the following Sprint website: www.sprint.com/supplierregistration. The terms and conditions of the above website shall not affect Amdocs undertakings in this Schedule J and shall be governed by the provisions of the Agreement (i.e. in case of inconsistency between the provisions of the Agreement and the provisions set in the above website, the provisions of the Agreement shall apply). A Sprint-approved list of independent third-party agencies for certification purposes can be found at this website. |

2. | Sprint must provide a [**] advance notification to Amdocs of any change in the peak connections being requested for both [**]. Amdocs will increase or decrease the capped limit accordingly. In the event of a decrease, this would result in a lower monthly charge in the month following the notification of the change. In the event of an increase, this would result in a higher monthly charge in the month that the increase occurred. In no case can the total direct connections exceed [**]. Any combination of [**] connections in excess of [**] connections will be charged $[**] per connection. |
3. | Any combination of [**] connections that total less than [**] connections is [**], starting with the beginning of the month following Sprints notification to Amdocs requesting that the peak number of connections be lowered to below [**]. |

New functionality from a Release that exists in production will also be included in the [**] in a Release. Any [**] that directly impact such functionality will be updated in the next Release. In the event that there are no more than [**] Releases in a calendar year then Amdocs will refresh all reference table data after any [**] that directly impact the functionality and stability of the [**]. Creation and/or modification of data not in reference tables, as defined above, and/or customization of new functionality specific to the [**], and/or testing of the new/modified data and functionality by Amdocs will require submission of a Change Request. The Change Request should be submitted by Sprint during the [**] of the Release scope and no later than [**] before the [**] Upgrade provided that the training environment is part of the scoping process. The CR should specify each type of new/modified data required, and each new / modified scenario Amdocs must validate as working per design in the [**]. Standard SLAs for Amdocs response to CRs will apply. It is assumed by the parties that validation testing of all existing (a.k.a., regression) functionality by Amdocs will be performed after each Release or build, and will be covered under the regular monthly [**] charged in this Legacy Service. |
| If new functionality requires new simulators or interfaces these will also need to be part of the Release scope as identified by Amdocs. |

1.7.1 Description of Services
Amdocs will provide Sprint with the following services for retail Subscribers and will enhance the Customized Products and [**] additional hardware and software in order to reduce the [**].
Amdocs part (as described below) in each billing cycle will on average be less than or [**] performance target includes steps 1 to 5, and step 7 (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding step 9 [**]) of Table 5 of this Legacy Service 1.7. [**], as defined in step 6 and [**] time as defined in step 8 are outside the scope of this Service performance.
In order to verify that Amdocs meets its commitments as described in this section 1.7.1, Sprint agrees that cycles will remain closely balanced in size.
1.7.2 Grace Period
New billing cycles:
For a period not to exceed [**] from the time when a new retail billing cycle is deployed to production, the [**] performance target defined in this Schedule will be temporarily suspended for that cycle only. The [**] performance target remains in effect for all other retail billing cycles.
[**] billing Cycles:
For a period not to exceed [**] from the time when a group of Subscribers are removed from [**] billing cycle and added to a [**] billing cycle (i.e., [**] billing cycle), the [**] performance target defined in this Schedule will be temporarily [**] for those cycles only. The [**] performance target remains in effect for all other retail billing cycles.
Release upgrades:
The [**] performance target defined in this Schedule will be temporarily suspended for all production retail billing cycles for [**] cycles starting from the first cycle impacted by implementation of a Release.
1.7.3 Billing Cycle Time measurement (Amdocs part):
Each Billing Cycle comprises the following steps: (1) [**] (2) [**], (3) [**], (4) [**], (5) [**], (6) [**], (7) [**], (8) [**] and (9) [**]. Refer to Table 5 for a listing of these steps and associated responsible parties.

Sprints audit time is comprised of three pieces; [**], and [**]. Sprints audit time starts when qualifying batch [**], and [**] (including all [**] reports) are received by Sprint with zero [**] and zero [**].
All time spent re-running billing cycles, running additional batches or performing full or partial [**] due to [**] will be [**] Amdocs Billing Cycle Time.
Sprint and Amdocs will agree on which party is responsible for each [**], [**], full or partial [**] of bill cycles. If Sprint is responsible for a [**], all hours associated with cycle [**] will be [**] from the total hours.
If Amdocs is responsible, all time spent [**], and full or partial [**] of bill cycles will be [**] Billing Cycle Time.
In the event of an Amdocs operational error that occurs during a [**], or full or partial [**] of any Billing Cycle, that is required due to Sprints action, then all time spent [**] because of the Amdocs error will [**] total Billing Cycle Time.
Measurement formula: [**].
Measurement period: calendar month.
Sprint will audit and approve bill cycles if either [**] of the Subscribers in a cycle are contained within reporting for the first batch OR [**] of the Subscribers in a cycle are contained within the first batch and there are no [**] with more than [**] Subscribers. In cases where [**] remain to be corrected after a first batch, Amdocs will also provide an additional full set of audit reports for the subsequent and final batch. (for the avoidance of doubt, approval to print and mail the main bulk of subscriber bills will not depend on [**] the [**] and providing the second set of reports for [**]% of the Subscribers) If issues arise substantially [**] processing time, the parties will agree on a remedy plan based on analysis of the root cause.

Also, on a monthly basis, an overall KPI score (the Overall KPI Score) will be determined by assigning points to each KPI based on its Individual KPI BGYR State.
It is agreed between the Parties that the Scoping SLA hereof is a standalone SLA which has no impact or tied to Schedule C to the Agreement and would not be included as part of Schedule C for the Term.
[**] detailed in this Legacy Service 2.2.
The scoping SLA cannot create a Default event under Section 12.1.59 to the Agreement.
[**] KPI Report:
On a [**] basis, Amdocs shall provide a written report to Sprint which includes the following information [**];
The Preliminary [**] KPI Report shall be due on the [**] and the Final [**] KPI Report shall be due on the [**]. The [**] KPI Report, delivered on the [**], will include each KPI being tracked by Amdocs.
2.2.2.2 Key Performance Indicators Review and Change Process
KPI(s) are subject to review on the following occasions throughout the Term:
A. | [**] Review: Amdocs and Sprint shall set a mutually agreed date to conduct [**] reviews of the KPI and Amdocs performance with respect to the KPI. At a minimum, the [**] review will include: |
B. | [**] review of the [**]; |
a. | [**], if any, based upon mutual written agreement. Section 2.2.2 [**] each calendar year ([**] time and under no circumstance greater than [**] time). The new KPI(s) will be effective January first of the following year. (End of year lockdown takes place each [**], so no change can occur past [**] in each year.) |
C. | Sprint may request to include a new KPI(s) or an Associated Measure(s) Section 2.2.2 on a [**]. Upon mutual agreement of the KPI(s) or the Associated Measure(s), Amdocs will implement starting the [**] the new KPI but no less than [**] from the date of such agreement. |
Any item to be considered as an exclusion or inclusion to the SLA by Amdocs or Sprint must be submitted to the corresponding Amdocs/Sprint SLA Scoping Team. The item is then documented in the SLA Scoping Team Exclusion List spreadsheet which contains the KPI affected, date of issue, date submitted, description of issue, inclusion/exclusion resolution, approvers name and approval date. This
47
Schedule K2, Section 2
information is then submitted to the appropriate SLA Scoping Team (Sprint or Amdocs) to take to the business for approval. Once approved or rejected, the date and name of the business owner, along with the action, is documented in the SLA Scoping Team Exclusion List and the appropriate actions are taken, if needed.
If requested by either Party, changes to any KPI shall be submitted for approval to the appropriate Amdocs/Sprint SLA Scoping Team prior to becoming effective.

2.2.3 Fees and Payments
A. | Sprint shall pay Amdocs for the Legacy Services described in Section 2.2.1 to this Legacy Service 2.2, as follows: |
B. | Define Phase |
B.1. | [**] means the number of Concepts that the Scoping team is working on at any point in time ([**]). Concepts with more than [**] will be counted as one (1) Concept. Concepts that have more than [**] which are driven by architectural scenarios will be counted as the total number of options within that Concept. For the avoidance of doubt both Parties will agree on the total number of Concepts should this scenario arise. |
B.2. | For the avoidance of doubt, open Concepts at time of execution of this Legacy Service, that are categorized as Red BGYR state per section 2.2.2.3.1 of this Legacy Service do not apply to the calculation of [**] per week for the Forecasted Monthly Concepts Baseline. |
B.3. | Changes to the [**] Baseline Sprint will notify Amdocs in writing, [**] calendar days before the end of each calendar month, of the [**] it wishes to perform in the upcoming month as defined in Table 2.2.3.1 below ([**]) and it will determine the minimum monthly committed costs for charging purpose. The Parties agree that in case of no notification or notification not according with the provisions above, no changes will occur and the [**] for upcoming month will remain as in the preceding month. |
B.4. | The number of [**] defines the Monthly Cost to be paid by Sprint as described in Table 2.2.3.1 below. |
B.5. | It is agreed that for each tier of [**] there will be a limitation on the [**] that Amdocs team can work on ([**]) (e.g. for the [**] Baseline tier the [**] is [**] Concepts per month). It is further |
51
Schedule K2, Section 2
agreed that the number of [**] at any point of time during the month can deviate by no more than [**] percent ([**]%) (up) from the [**] of the relevant tier as defined in Table 2.2.3.1 below as long as the [**] is maintained. |
B.6. | In order for a Concept to be counted as a [**] in a given week as defined in Table 2.2.2.3.2 it cannot be categorized in Red BGYR state per the table in section 2.4.2.3.1 of this Legacy Service 2.4. |

B.7. | For calculations purposes, the number of [**] at any point in time will be counted with no consideration to their size or initiation date and will represent the actual Concepts being analyzed by the team (i.e. not necessarily new Concepts that were received during this week). If a week starts in one month and ends in the following month, [**]. For example: The week ending [**] For the Define Phase services, as described in section 2.2.1.2 and section 2.4.2 to this Legacy Service, the monthly fees will be invoiced and paid on monthly basis. |
B.8. | In the event that the [**] is higher than the tier requested and paid by Sprint, it will be regarded as a tier change to the [**] and will trigger true up charges to Sprint that will be calculated based on the Monthly Cost of the relevant tier for actual [**] for this specific month. |
B.9. | In the event that the actual number of Concepts per month is higher than the [**] which derived from the chosen tier by Sprint, it will be regarded as a tier change to the [**] and will trigger true up charges to Sprint that will be calculated based on the Monthly Cost of the relevant tier for actual Monthly Concepts for this specific month. |
B.10. | The Parties agree that should Sprint ask to decrease and/or increase the [**] outside the boundaries of Table 2.2.3.1, the Parties will discuss in good faith the cost implication of this change. |

C. | Amdocs will provide Sprint, within [**] days upon IA sign-off or [**] days after a Project is stopped, the total number of actual hours of Discover Phase and Design Phase for the Project. Amdocs will provide Sprint a list of all Amdocs resources that may provide services under the Discover and Design Phases This list will be updated on a monthly basis and provided to Sprint per Schedule Z to the Agreement. As part of the monthly list of names Amdocs will identify the names that are part of the OnSite Scoping team. For clarification purposes, the number of hours that will be provided per Project will not be broken down by person. [**]. The Parties understand and agree that there may not be any correlation between the actual hours for the Projects and the monthly charges for the Scoping Team, as described in Section C.1 to section 2.2.3 to this Legacy Service. |
D. | Terms used in this Legacy Service have the definitions assigned to them in the Agreement, except as set forth otherwise in this Legacy Service |
2.2.6 Termination

Legacy Service 2.3 Direct Connect
2.3.1 Description of Services
Amdocs will allow a maximum of [**] direct connections to the Sprint production customer database. The total of [**] consists of [**] user connections, and [**] user connections. Any request from Sprint over these respective connection counts will be refused and return an Oracle error.
Amdocs does not guarantee transactional performance nor will an SLA include this activity due to Sprints creation and execution of the Direct Connection queries.
Sprint may provide any new or modified queries to Amdocs for a courtesy review before they are implemented in the [**] production areas. For purposes of clarification, such a review shall not affect the other rights and obligations of Sprint and Amdocs under this Section 2.3.
In the event a Sprint Direct Connect Query is the sole cause of an SLA impacting event, causing an outage, latency and/or timeouts for other Amdocs online and batch transactions, Amdocs will be relieved on any affected CPS Measures.

2.3.2 Fees and Payments
Sprint shall pay Amdocs for the Legacy Services described under this section in accordance with Section 5.3.9 of the Agreement
1. | Amdocs will invoice Sprint monthly based upon the highest number of Sprints peak connections, based on Sprints written notification, effective at any point in a given calendar month. Sprint will not be charged where peak connections are below the combined total of [**] connections for both [**] for the entire calendar month. Any peak connection over [**] will be charged at $[**] per connection. System capabilities do not allow for, and Amdocs will not permit, the maximum peak connections to exceed either [**] connections or [**] connections, for total connections not to exceed [**]. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of connections in the month is based on the peak connections available and not on actual connections used. |
2. | Sprint must provide a [**] advance notification to Amdocs of any change in the peak connections being requested for both [**]. Amdocs will increase or decrease the capped limit accordingly. In the event of a decrease, this would result in a lower monthly charge in the month following the notification of the change. In the event of an increase, this would result in a higher monthly charge in the month that the increase occurred. In no case can the total direct connections exceed [**]. Any combination of [**] connections in excess of [**] connections will be charged $[**] per connection. |
3. | Any combination of [**] connections that total less than [**] connections is [**], starting with the beginning of the month following Sprints notification to Amdocs requesting that the peak number of connections be lowered to below [**]. |

12. | Confidential Information. |
| Protection of Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that while performing its obligations under this Agreement it may have access to the other Partys Confidential Information. With respect to all Confidential Information, and subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1.2 (Generally) and 7.3 (Required Disclosure) of the Agreement, the Parties agree that commencing on the Effective Date (or, if earlier, the date on which either Party disclosed Confidential Information to the other) and continuing during and after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, neither Party will disclose to any Third Party, and each Party will keep strictly confidential, all Confidential Information of the other. To protect Sprints Confidential Information from unauthorized use, including disclosure, loss or alteration, Amdocs will (i) meet the IT and Security Policies, subject to the provisions of Section 6 (IT and Security Policies) herein; and (ii) inventory and test security standards before accepting Sprints Confidential Information. In no event will the Recipient fail to use reasonable care to avoid unauthorized use, including disclosure, loss or alteration of the Disclosers Confidential Information. |
| Permitted Disclosure. Each Party may disclose the other Partys Confidential Information to the Recipients Personnel if they have a need to know and an obligation to protect the Confidential Information that is at least as restrictive as this Schedule Y. Neither Party will use the Confidential Information of the other Party except solely as necessary in and during the performance of this Agreement, or as expressly licensed hereunder. Each Party will be responsible for any improper use or disclosure of any Confidential Information of the other by such Partys officers, partners, principals, employees, agents or independent contractors (including individuals who become former partners, principals, employee, agents or independent contractors). |
| Exceptions. The obligations of this Section 12 (Confidential Information) will not apply to any Confidential Information for a period longer than it is legally permissible to restrict disclosure of that item of Confidential Information. |
| Required Disclosure. Either Party may disclose Confidential Information as expressly provided for in Section 7.3 (Required Disclosure) of the Agreement. |
Schedule Y to Customer Care and Billing Services Agreement
Page 5
| Third Party Information. Neither Party will disclose to the other Party any confidential information of a Third Party without such Third Partys consent. |
| Notification. In the event of any improper disclosure or loss of Confidential Information, the Recipient will promptly notify the Discloser. Notices will be delivered to the Disclosers contacts in accordance with Section 13.10 (Notifications and Approvals) of the Agreement; provided that with respect to notices to Sprint, in addition, a copy of such notice will be delivered to Corporate Security. |
| Return of Confidential Information. Unless a Party is expressly authorized by this Agreement to retain the other Partys Confidential Information, such Party will promptly return or destroy, at the other Partys option, the other Partys Confidential Information, and any notes, reports or other information incorporating or derived in whole or in part from such Confidential Information, and all copies thereof within five (5) business days of termination or expiration of the Agreement or the Disclosing Partys written request, whichever is earlier, except that, at the time of termination or expiration, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to allow the retention of such portion of Confidential Information or copy thereof as necessary to comply with law. Following the deadline for destruction or return, and promptly upon the Disclosing Partys request, an officer of the Recipient will certify to the other Party that it no longer has in its possession or under its control any Confidential Information in any form, or any copy thereof. Notwithstanding the above, Amdocs acknowledges that Sprint will have no obligation to return any Deliverables (or portions thereof) to Amdocs or any notes, reports or other information incorporating or derived from such Deliverables. |
13. | Audits. |
a. Operational Audit and/or Security Assessment. Sprint and its authorized representatives (including its internal and external auditors) will have the right, no more than once per quarter [**] compliance with applicable laws or regulations and with Schedule Y. For purposes of such audit, Amdocs will grant Sprint and its representatives all relevant access to Amdocs facilities, books, procedures, and records (other than cost information) and all other information required for Sprint to ascertain facts directly relevant to Amdocs performance and the subject matter of the audit. Amdocs will provide, and cause Amdocs subcontractors to provide, Sprint and its representatives such information and assistance as reasonably requested in order to perform such audits; provided, however, the Parties will arrange such assistance in such a way that it does not interfere with the performance of Amdocs duties and obligations hereunder and its business generally. Any Third Parties and authorized representatives performing an audit under this Section 13 (Audits) must execute a nondisclosure agreement that is at least as restrictive as Section 12 (Confidential Information) and is reasonably satisfactory to Amdocs.
Schedule Y to Customer Care and Billing Services Agreement
Page 6
b. SSAE 16. Each year, Amdocs must provide Sprint an auditors report concerning the Amdocs activities issued under Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) (or any applicable successor thereto) provided that the report (i) is a SOC Type II report under such standard, (ii) was prepared by a firm of certified public accountants that is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and is reasonably acceptable to Sprint, and (iii) covers a time period and is of such scope and result as to provide, to the extent relevant, sufficient evidence to support a favorable assessment by Sprint of its internal controls over financial reporting and its auditors attestation and report for that fiscal period. Sprint and Amdocs will mutually establish the scope and degree of the controls to be tested. Sprint may, at its sole discretion, perform its own security assessment subject to the provisions of this Schedule Y.
c. Results of Operational Audit and/or Security Assessment. If any audit reveals a material inadequacy or insufficiency of Amdocs performance of any of its obligations under this Schedule Y, then, without limiting any other rights or remedies of Sprint under the Agreement or at law, upon receiving written notice of such inadequacy or insufficiency in performance, Amdocs will promptly develop a corrective action plan in cooperation with Sprint, such plan to be subject to Sprints approval, and promptly thereafter implement such plan at Amdocs sole cost and expense. In such event, Sprint may perform one additional follow up audit to verify performance under the corrective action plan (and to examine any areas potentially affected by such action plan) [**]. Sprint agrees that the results of any audit and/or security assessments will be considered Amdocs Confidential Information.
14. | Privacy. |

Amdocs will access, use, collect, maintain, and disclose or share [**] Data only in strict accordance with the terms of this Schedule Y and only to the extent strictly necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreement, or as otherwise required by law.

For purposes of its obligations under this Schedule Y, the acts or omissions of Amdocs employees, agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, or affiliates (and such affiliates employees, agents, representatives, contractors, or subcontractors) will also be deemed the acts or omissions of Amdocs. |

(i) | [**] |
(ii) | Amdocs will give Sprint written notice prior to conducting any aspect of the Services outside the United States and promptly provide to Sprint, upon Sprints written request, a full and complete list of all locations where [**] Data may be accessed or reside [**]; provided such activities comply with Privacy Laws requiring that the Services and/or [**] Data be located solely in the United States. |
(iii) | Authorized Personnel means Amdocs and Amdocs Affiliates full-time Personnel who have a need to know or otherwise access the [**] Data to enable Amdocs to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and who are bound in writing by obligations of confidentiality that are at least as stringent as the terms of this Schedule Y.

Schedule Y to Customer Care and Billing Services Agreement
Page 8
(vii) | During the term of each Authorized Personnel employment by Amdocs, Amdocs will at all times cause such Authorized Personnel to strictly abide by its obligations under this Schedule Y and, after the termination of employment, Amdocs will use the same efforts to enforce the confidentiality obligations of such Authorized Personnel as Amdocs uses to enforce such obligations with respect to its own similarly confidential information, provided that Amdocs will not use less than reasonable efforts in such enforcement. |
(viii) | Amdocs further agrees to cooperate with Sprint in maintaining and implementing at Sprints request procedures to ensure the security of the [**] Data. Amdocs further agrees that it will maintain a disciplinary process to address any unauthorized access, use or disclosure of [**] Data by any of Amdocs officers, partners, principals, employees, agents or independent contractors. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 14.c (Security) will be construed to limit Amdocs obligations under Section 14.b (Privacy Laws). |
| Disclosure of [**] Data. Except in response to a valid court order or otherwise to the extent legally required in response to a request from a law enforcement agency, Amdocs will not disclose any [**] Data to any Third Party. If, in the written opinion of its counsel addressed to Sprint, Amdocs is compelled as a matter of law to disclose the [**] Data in the absence of a protective order, it will disclose to the Party compelling the disclosure only the part of the [**] Data that is required by law to be disclosed, and Amdocs will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for all disclosed information. Amdocs further agrees that, prior to any such disclosure; it will advise and consult with Sprint and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of its disclosure. In addition, Section 12.d (Required Disclosure) will apply to [**] Data to the extent they are consistent with this Section 14 (Privacy). |

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Amdocs agrees that any and all communications sent to current, former and prospective Sprint Subscribers, however delivered (e.g., short messaging service, mail, e-mail, telephone), are subject to Sprints written approval, and Amdocs will not contact any current, former or prospective customer of Sprint in any manner, except as expressly provided under this Agreement or with Sprints express prior written consent. |
| Return of [**] Data. Section 12(g) (Return of Confidential Information) also applies to [**] Data. |

by any of Amdocs Personnel. Amdocs will immediately notify Sprint of any potential or actual breaches of security that may result in, or have resulted in, the unauthorized collection, access, use or disclosure of [**] Data. Amdocs will make all reasonable efforts to assist Sprint in relation to the investigation and remedy of any such breach of security and any claim, allegation, action, suit, proceeding or litigation with respect to the unauthorized access, use or disclosure of [**] Data. |
| Injunctive Relief. Amdocs acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any obligation set forth in this Schedule Y by Amdocs may result in irreparable harm for which monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy and, as a result, Sprint will be entitled to both monetary damages and equitable relief. |
| Indemnification/Remedies. Amdocs agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sprint, including its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, shareholders, directors and employees, from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or relating to Amdocs performance of its obligations under this Schedule Y. Amdocs indemnification obligations under this Schedule Y will not be limited by any provisions limiting Amdocs liability under this Agreement (including any disclaimer of liability for consequential, incidental, exemplary, punitive, or special damages). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, Amdocs agrees that, without limiting any of its other rights or remedies under the Agreement or at law, a material breach by Amdocs of the provisions of this Schedule Y will be treated as a Default, subject to the cure provisions of clause (c) of the definition of Default under the Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.3.2 (Material Defaults) of the Agreement, in the event that the above material breach directly relates to [**] Data that resides in the databases of the Customized Product, Sprint will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Amdocs in the event that Amdocs fails to cure such Default within [**] after written notification by Sprint of the breach has been received by Amdocs, unless Sprint agrees to a longer cure period for the implementation of a corrective action plan to be performed by Amdocs at Amdocs sole cost and expense; provided that if Sprint agrees to such a corrective action plan and Amdocs does not cure the breach in accordance with such corrective action plan, Sprint will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Amdocs effective as of the date set forth in such notice. During the cure period, Sprint may instruct Amdocs to suspend all relevant Services directly related to the material breach. |
| Confidentiality. The obligations set forth in this Schedule Y supplement the provisions in the Agreement to which this Schedule Y is attached regarding Confidential Information (or confidentiality, in general). This Schedule will govern to the extent there is any conflict between it and such agreement. Except as expressly provided in Section 14 (Privacy) herein, the exceptions relating to protection of Confidential Information included in the Agreement will not apply to [**] Data. |
Schedule Y to Customer Care and Billing Services Agreement

| Miscellaneous. The obligations set forth in this Schedule Y will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason.

EXHIBIT A
Electronic Payment Platform
1.0 Definitions. The following definitions will apply to this Exhibit:
[**] means the process of: (1) accessing the Amdocss web site located outside of Sprints electronic firewall through the [**] (or other Sprint approved network) for the purpose of purchasing Products or Services, and (2) capturing the data from Amdocss web site and moving it through Sprints electronic firewall back into Sprints internal systems.
SSL Method means secure sockets layer, a private key encryption method which creates a secure relationship between client and server.
Transaction means the electronic exchange between Sprint and Amdocs of a business document, including but not limited to (a) Orders, (b) Order acknowledgements, (c) Order changes, (d) advance shipping notices, (e) invoices, and (f) settlements as set forth under this Exhibit.
Transmission Standards means the electronic, computer-readable format agreed upon by the parties for exchange of Transactions.
2.0 Scope. This Exhibit details the Transmission Standards for Transactions. Any portion of a Transaction that includes terms that are inconsistent with the Agreement is unenforceable.
3.0 Transmission Standards.
3.1 The parties will agree upon one of the Transmission Standards described in the table below. Once agreed, Transmission Standards may only be amended by the parties mutual written agreement.
Transaction |
Transmission Standard | |||
Orders, Order acknowledgements, Order changes |
[ | **] | ||
Invoices |
[ | **] | ||
Settlements |
[ | **] |
3.2 If Amdocs is unable to comply with the Transmission Standards in the table above, the parties may mutually agree to use an automated facsimile process (Autofax) to transmit Orders from Sprint to Amdocs. The Autofax option will only apply to Orders. If the parties elect this option, Amdocs will provide Sprint with a dedicated facsimile number for Sprint to transmit Orders directly to Amdocss order management group
4.0 System Operations. The parties agree to individually bear all costs for integration of their respective internal systems and all transaction-related costs associated with the implementation and use of Transmission Standards. Each party will provide and maintain the equipment, software, services and testing necessary to effectively, reliably, timely, and securely transmit and receive Transactions. Each party will provide sufficient notice to the other of any changes in systems operations that might impair the mutual capabilities of the parties to meet the Transmission Standards.
1
5.0 Third Party Service Suppliers. The parties may use a third party service provider (Service Supplier) for the transmission of data or the establishment of an electronic marketplace or exchange. If either party elects to use a Service Supplier, it must provide the other party with [**] notice of addition to or change of the Service Supplier(s). A party contracting with a Service Supplier must require the Service Supplier to enter into a confidentiality agreement preventing disclosure of any information contained in a Transaction to any third party. The confidentiality agreement will survive for [**] after the Service Supplier initially obtains the information. Either party may modify its election to use, or may change a Service Supplier upon [**] prior written notice to the other party. Each party will be liable for the acts or omissions of its Service Supplier while transmitting, receiving, storing or handling Transactions. If both parties use the same Service Supplier, the originating party will be liable for the acts or omissions of the Service Supplier in connection with each particular Transaction until the other party properly receives the Transaction, consistent with Section 8.0 of this Exhibit.
6.0 Security Procedures. Transactions will be encrypted using methods reasonably approved by Sprints Corporate Security group. Additionally, each party will adopt an electronic identification key consisting of one or more symbol(s) or code(s) to be used and affixed as an identifying mark for all Transactions (Signature). Each party agrees that any Signature affixed to or contained within a Transaction will be sufficient to verify that the Transaction originated from the other party unless the relying party has actual notice that the Signature has been revoked. Neither party will accept a Transaction without a Signature or disclose the Signature of the other party to any third party. A party may change its Signature only by prior written notice to the other party.
7.0 Transmission Acceptance. If any Transaction is received in an unreadable form, the receiving party must promptly notify the originating party of the problem (and provide as many details as possible about the problem). If the receiving party does not provide this notice, the originating partys record of the Transaction will control such that the Transaction will be considered accepted by the receiving party and both parties will be held to any Transaction obligations.
8.0 Catalog Requirements.
8.1 If the parties agree to maintain an electronic catalog under this Exhibit, the requirements of this Section will apply.
8.2 If Amdocs provides links in the electronic catalog to pictures and graphics for catalog items, Amdocs will house these pictures and graphics on its own web server unless otherwise agreed upon. Amdocs will provide a listing of all unique [**] codes associated with Amdocss catalog items. Amdocs will provide adequate explanatory descriptions for each catalog item and, if requested by Sprint will enhance item descriptions as necessary. Amdocs will not duplicate item descriptions regardless of the similarity of items. Amdocs will provide Sprint at least [**] prior written notice of any changes made to the catalog content including, without limitation, contractually required pricing and [**] codes, on Amdocss [**] accessible web site. If Amdocs fails to provide notice, in addition to any other remedies available to Sprint under the Agreement, Amdocs will indemnify and defend Sprint for any loss, damage, or liability incurred in connection with the failure.
8.3 Amdocs will maintain its [**] accessible web site, including, without limitation, the pictures and graphics associated with each catalog item, at a [**]% level of availability, measured on a monthly basis, during the hours from [**] Central Time (standard and daylight savings, as applicable). Upon receiving notice from Sprint of failure to meet the required level of availability, Amdocs must correct the service availability problem within [**]. In addition to any other remedies available to Sprint under the Agreement, Sprint may require Amdocs to pay liquidated damages if availability consistently falls below this service level requirement.
2
9.0 Validity; Enforceability; Confidentiality.
9.1 Transactions will be considered in writing, signed, and will constitute an original when printed from electronic files or records established and maintained in the normal course of business.
9.2 The parties agree not to contest the validity or enforceability of Transactions under the provisions of any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements are to be in writing or signed by the party to be bound. Printed copies of Transactions, if introduced as evidence in any judicial proceeding, arbitration, mediation, or administrative proceeding, will be legally binding and admissible to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary form. Neither party will contest the admissibility of Transactions under either the business records exception to the hearsay rule or the best evidence rule on the basis that the Transactions were not originated or maintained in documentary form.
9.3 Sprint will use the same care and discretion to avoid disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Transactions as it uses with its own similar information and any third partys similar information.

This service takes current Amdocs and non-Amdocs solutions and future enhancements plans as input, and recommends a path to achieving those goals. The suggested path typically includes system upgrades and interfaces, process automation, and adoption of new product applications.
The Amdocs product upgrade assessment is made to support service providers assessments of their current systems (including the customization level, version, database platform and interfaces) and support them determine the level of effort to upgrade (time, cost, and risks). It will help service providers establish a business case for an upgrade before a decision is made. To further assist the upgrade process, knowledge transfer to customers IT staff takes place, allowing them to make better decisions. In addition, Amdocs, as part of the upgrade kickoff, can perform a first phase run-through, aiming to a successful upgrade.
