Any New Service performed by Supplier without such advance agreement to terms and authorization shall be deemed part of the Services without incremental charge.

5.3 Charges for New Services. Supplier’s charges and fees specified in any New Service Proposal shall be no more than the charges and fees for such services that Supplier provides to other Supplier customers (excluding Affiliates of Supplier) that are acquiring services of similar type, in similar volumes, and on similar terms as Hawaiian Telcom.

6. SERVICE LEVELS.

6.1 Service Levels. Supplier shall perform the Services that have corresponding Service Levels in accordance with Exhibit 3. Both Parties agree Service Levels are contingent upon mutually agreed upon Stocking Strategies and inventory disposition parameters as stated in Article 12.4. Supplier shall perform all Services that do not have defined Service Levels in a manner consistent with industry standards and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to perform such Services at levels that equal or exceed the level of service being provided by Hawaiian Telcom prior to the Effective Date. Hawaiian Telcom may add, delete and adjust the Service Levels as mutually agreed to by the Parties in accordance with Exhibit 3.

6.2 Root-Cause Analysis. After each Supplier failure to provide Services in accordance with the applicable Service Levels, Supplier shall, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than twenty (20) business days after the end of the month in which

such failure occurred, (i) perform a root-cause analysis to identify the cause of such failure, (ii) provide Hawaiian Telcom with a summary detailing the cause of, and procedure for correcting, such failure, and (iii) upon Hawaiian Telcom’s approval of such corrective procedure, implement such procedure.

6.3 Measurement and Monitoring Tools. Supplier shall implement the measurement and monitoring tools and procedures required to measure and report Supplier’s performance against the Service Levels. Such measurement and monitoring Tools and procedures are set forth in Exhibit 3 and shall as of the Effective Date (i) permit reporting at a level of detail sufficient to verify compliance with the Service Levels and (ii) be subject to audit by Hawaiian Telcom or its designee. Supplier shall provide Hawaiian Telcom and its designees with information and access to such measurement and monitoring tools and procedures upon request for inspection and verification purposes. Supplier shall provide to Hawaiian Telcom monthly Service Level reports that demonstrate Supplier’s performance against the Service Levels. Such reports shall be in a form and format approved by Hawaiian Telcom.

6.4 SERVICE LEVEL REPORTING. Supplier shall provide to Hawaiian Telcom the Service Level metrics and reports as set forth in Exhibit 3.

7. BENCHMARKING.

7.1 Benchmarking Overview. Hawaiian Telcom, in its sole discretion, may direct Supplier to initiate benchmarking processes, no more than annually, as to Product Pricing, Air Shipment Rates, and/or Container Rates in accordance with this section. The Benchmarking Process shall be conducted at a time and with regard to the portion of the Services specified by Hawaiian Telcom by a Benchmarker designated by mutual agreement of the Parties. If the Parties do not agree within fifteen (15) days on a Benchmarker, Hawaiian Telcom shall designate the Benchmarker in its sole discretion, provided that such Benchmarker may not be a competitor of Supplier. Supplier shall at its expense cooperate with and assist the Benchmarker and any other third parties involved in the Benchmarking Process, including providing information relating to the provision of the Services (subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions), as requested by Hawaiian Telcom or the Benchmarker.

7.2 Benchmark Results Review and Adjustments. Hawaiian Telcom and Supplier shall review the Benchmark Results during a Benchmark Review Period. If any Charges paid by Hawaiian Telcom to Supplier are higher than the applicable fees for similar type customers with similar services, operations, terms and conditions contained in the Benchmark Results, Supplier shall then reduce the Charges in a manner that eliminates such variance thereafter. In addition, if any Service Levels are lower than the applicable service levels for similar type customers contained in the Benchmark Results, Supplier shall either increase the Service Levels to match the applicable service levels contained in the Benchmark Results, or reduce its Charges proportionately to adjust for the difference between the Service Levels and the applicable service levels contained in the Benchmark Results. In no event will Supplier increase the Charges as a result of any benchmarking.

7.3 Product Pricing. At Hawaiian Telcom’s request, Supplier shall perform comprehensive benchmarking exercises of Product Pricing for Critical Items and Product(s), no more than one (1) time per calendar year. Supplier will determine the appropriate manufacturer(s) based on Hawaiian Telcom’s purchasing patterns. Full results shall be provided to Hawaiian Telcom within fifteen (15) business days upon completing the benchmarking exercise, including documented findings and action plans to optimize pricing and capture savings on behalf of Hawaiian Telcom. In addition to comprehensive benchmarking, Hawaiian Telcom may also request ad hoc, one-off benchmarking initiatives by presenting to Supplier evidence of more advantageous cost available elsewhere in the market for any Product(s) Hawaiian Telcom purchases from Supplier. Supplier will work with the vendor to negotiate the lower cost identified by Hawaiian Telcom to be available to Supplier for purchasing, and will request vendor credits the difference between the original cost and the negotiated cost for the inventory available at Supplier’s locations. After successful negotiations with vendor in (i) obtaining lower cost for purchases and (ii) receiving credit on inventory at Supplier’s location(s), Supplier will immediately reduce Hawaiian Telcom’s price on the Product, and change open Orders to reflect the new price.

7.4 Air Shipment Rates. Upon conducting a formal benchmarking exercise of each Party’s contracted carrier rates, the Party with the higher of the two rates may be mandated to use the other Party’s contracted rates for all air shipments between the Parties’ list of acceptable origins and destinations, dependent upon such carrier’s agreement to allow contracted freight rates to be assigned. Should there be operational constraints that prevent Supplier from using Hawaiian Telcom’s designated rates (e.g. requiring Supplier to set up with another carrier), Supplier shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to match its rates to Hawaiian Telcom’s. Under a third-party billing scenario, with like coverage for loss and damage (full value of Product) and service failures including UPS service failures, shipments shall remain FOB destination subject to freight ▇▇▇▇-up.

7.5 Container Rates. If upon conducting a formal benchmarking exercise of Supplier’s container rates against competitive market container rates with similar terms, conditions and loss coverages, the incumbent carrier is not selected, Supplier may be required to adopt the carrier of Hawaiian Telcom’s choice and manage the transition of its account to the new carrier within a mutually agreed upon transition period.

8. SERVICE LOCATIONS; HAWAIIAN TELCOM SYSTEMS.

8.1 Service Locations. The Supplier will maintain and enforce, at the facilities from which the Services are provided, safety and physical security procedures that are at least equal to industry standards for locations similar to the Supplier’s locations.

8.2 New Service Locations. If Supplier intends to provide Services from locations other than the locations from which Supplier provides the Services as of the Effective Date, Supplier shall provide written notice of such new service location to Hawaiian Telcom, which notice shall include a description of any effect the change in location, or additional location, will have on the Services or on Hawaiian Telcom. In no event shall any change in service locations or additional service locations result in an increase in the Charges or a reduction in Service Levels or cause Hawaiian Telcom to incur any additional expense. Supplier shall be

responsible for any incremental Hawaiian Telcom cost or expense related to any change in, or additional, supplier locations, including any additional taxes that result from Supplier’s relocating or rerouting the delivery of Products or Services to, from, or through a new location.

9. SUPPLIER STAFF.

9.1 Supplier Account Manager. Supplier shall appoint an individual (the “Supplier Account Manager”) who from the date of this Agreement shall serve as Hawaiian Telcom’s single point of contact with respect to the Services. The Supplier Account Manager shall (i) have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the performance of Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement and (ii) be authorized to act for and on behalf of Supplier with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, including promptly escalating issues to the appropriate level of management and reporting back to Hawaiian Telcom with resolutions to such issues.

9.2 Single Points of Contact. Supplier shall designate individuals to be single points of contact for each Product.

9.3 Key Supplier Personnel.

(a) Collectively, the Supplier Account Manager and the single points of contact for each Product are “Key Supplier Personnel.”

(b) Supplier will introduce any Key Supplier Personnel individuals to Hawaiian Telcom representatives upon assignment.

(c) If Hawaiian Telcom in good faith desires to have any Key Supplier Personnel removed from Hawaiian Telcom’s account, Hawaiian Telcom shall notify Supplier of such fact and Supplier shall investigate Hawaiian Telcom’s stated reasons for the removal and present its findings to Hawaiian Telcom within ten (10) business days after Hawaiian Telcom’s notification. The Parties shall review the findings within five (5) business days after they are presented to Hawaiian Telcom, or such other time designated by Hawaiian Telcom. With respect to Key Personnel that are single points of contact, if after such review the Parties cannot agree on the removal of such personnel, the Parties shall follow the expedited dispute process set forth in Exhibit 5. With respect to the Supplier Account Manager, after such review Supplier shall remove such personnel if requested by Hawaiian Telcom.

(d) Supplier shall make the Key Supplier Personnel available for meetings with Hawaiian Telcom personnel in accordance with Exhibit 5 and otherwise upon Hawaiian Telcom’s request.

9.4 Subcontractors

(a) Supplier shall not subcontract or delegate any of its material obligations under this Agreement without the prior written approval of Hawaiian Telcom. If Supplier intends to subcontract any material obligation under this Agreement, Supplier shall notify Hawaiian Telcom of the proposed subcontract and shall obtain Hawaiian Telcom’s approval of such subcontract.

(b) Supplier shall include in all of its subcontracts where applicable provisions equivalent to those in this Agreement with respect to use of facilities, confidentiality, audit rights, and warranties.

(c) Supplier shall cause Supplier Agents to adhere to any applicable standards, policies and procedures of Supplier and Hawaiian Telcom. The Supplier shall not disclose Confidential Information of Hawaiian Telcom to any Supplier Agent until such agent has executed a nondisclosure agreement with protections at least as protective of Confidential Information as those protections set forth in this Agreement.

(d) No subcontracting shall release Supplier from its responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Supplier shall act as the liaison between Supplier Agents and Hawaiian Telcom and be responsible for the work and activities of each of the Supplier Agents, including compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Supplier shall be responsible for all payments to its Supplier Agents.

(e) Should Hawaiian Telcom determine that any subcontractor’s services or products are unacceptable under the terms of this Agreement, Hawaiian Telcom reserves the right to request that Supplier source an alternate subcontractor; otherwise, Hawaiian Telcom may terminate business with the subcontractor and obtain its products and services elsewhere.

10. PAYMENTS

10.1 Volume Incentive Discount. The Parties agree that a pricing mechanism pursuant to which Supplier would discount the Charges based Hawaiian Telcom’s purchase of certain volumes of Products would create an incentive for Hawaiian Telcom to purchase more products from Supplier and for Supplier to provide its best service and pricing to Hawaiian Telcom. Based on a rolling two (2) year history of the stock/non-stock product mix, and agreement between Hawaiian Telcom and Supplier on implementing an inventory Stocking Strategy and an Inventory Burn Off Strategy, should Hawaiian Telcom’s annual spend for contributory services increase the following pricing matrix would be applicable; $13M - $15M product ▇▇▇▇ up would be 9.73%, $15M - $17M product ▇▇▇▇ up would be 9.36%, $17M - $20M product ▇▇▇▇ up would be 9.15%. Premier products, f/k/a “SPG” products, remain independently priced and would not be included in such product ▇▇▇▇-up charges. In addition cable products will be independently priced and would not be included in such product ▇▇▇▇-up charges. If Hawaiian Telcom’s annual spend decreases by thirty percent (30%) or more, both Supplier and Hawaiian Telcom agree to review the existing product ▇▇▇▇-up and make mutually agreed upon necessary adjustments to the product ▇▇▇▇-up. Contributory services shall include all amounts paid to Supplier, including freight ▇▇▇▇ up and miscellaneous fees. The reduced ▇▇▇▇-up shall remain in effect for at least one (1) year from the effective date.

Supplier commits if pricing concessions are received from its vendors due to volume tiered pricing, the pricing benefits will be passed on to Hawaiian Telcom. Accordingly, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon and implement, via an amendment to the Agreement, such volume tiered pricing promptly after the Effective Date.

10.2 Charges. Hawaiian Telcom shall pay the Charges as specified in Exhibit 4 and this Article 10. Supplier shall not charge Hawaiian Telcom for any service or adjust its pricing in any manner except as expressly permitted under Exhibit 4. Hawaiian Telcom may withhold invoiced amounts that Hawaiian Telcom disputes in good faith. Hawaiian Telcom shall notify Supplier of all such disputes in writing by the date payment under such invoice would otherwise be due. If Hawaiian Telcom disputes a charge on the invoice, it may withhold payment of that charge so long as Hawaiian Telcom (a) makes full payment of all undisputed charges, and (b) provides Supplier with a written explanation of the reasons for Hawaiian Telcom’s dispute of the charge. Hawaiian Telcom will cooperate with Supplier to resolve any disputed charge as soon as possible. If Supplier determines that the disputed charge is valid, Supplier will notify Hawaiian Telcom and, within five (5) business days of receiving such notice, Hawaiian Telcom will either pay the charge, under protest if desired, or continue to withhold payment. Either Party may take appropriate legal action to recover amounts it believes it is due and if it is determined that any amount is due to the other, the Party will pay that amount, plus interest on the amount due, calculated per the preceding Subsection from the date of Hawaiian Telcom’s payment or Supplier’s notification, as applicable. If Hawaiian Telcom fails to dispute any charge within twelve (12) months of the date the charge is first invoiced, the charge will be deemed accurate and Hawaiian Telcom may not dispute it.

10.3 Monthly Invoices.

(a) Supplier shall render, in a form and format approved by Hawaiian Telcom, a single consolidated invoice for the Transportation Charges and the charge for Direct Product order management incurred by Hawaiian Telcom in each calendar month.

(b) Supplier shall provide a monthly report showing such details as reasonably specified by Hawaiian Telcom, including: (i) identification of all Charges for the month to which the report corresponds, which Charges shall be broken down by Service Charge, Transportation Charge, and Product cost; (ii) identification of all Products ordered during that month, including purchase order number, item quantity, item description, unit of measure, purchase order line item and total line item dollar amount; (iii) identification of the amounts and types of any taxes the Supplier is collecting from Hawaiian Telcom; (iv) the calculations used to establish the Charges; (v) any information necessary to satisfy Hawaiian Telcom’s internal accounting, tax, audit and charge back requirements; and (vi) any other information requested by Hawaiian Telcom if available. Transportation Charges shall provide a breakdown of all components that constitute the totality of freight charges, including but not limited to fuel surcharges, taxes, additional delivery requirements, additional transaction fees, pick-up fees, hazmat, etc. This monthly Transportation Charges report requirement shall not alter daily invoicing procedures.

10.4 Product Invoices. Supplier shall invoice Hawaiian Telcom for the cost of Products ordered by Hawaiian Telcom, and the associated Service Charge, based on the following: standard freight shipments, thirteen (13) days after shipment; second day air shipments, three (3) days after shipment; and for next day air shipments, two (2) days after shipment. Such invoices shall not include any Transportation Charges or other charges.

10.5 Time of Payment. Hawaiian Telcom shall pay undisputed Supplier invoices within fifteen (15) days after Hawaiian Telcom’s receipt thereof (“Due Date”). Undisputed

invoices will be discounted by 0.125% off product ▇▇▇▇ up if paid five (5) days or more in advance of Due Date, as established based on Hawaiian Telcom’s receipt of invoice. Supplier shall not invoice Hawaiian Telcom, and Hawaiian Telcom shall not be obligated to pay, any Charges or Pass-Through Expenses that are not invoiced within 4 months after the end of the month in which such charges or expenses were incurred. All invoices not subject of a bona fide dispute that are not paid when due, are subject interest on those charges equal to the lesser of 1½% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law. Overdue and delinquent account balances are subject to placement for collection, and Hawaiian Telcom will pay any expenses incurred by Supplier for such collection activities.

10.6 Taxes. Hawaiian Telcom shall be responsible for sales, use and services taxes imposed on the sale of the Products or provision of the Services. For clarity, Hawaiian Telcom is not responsible for taxes on Supplier’s income or on the cost of Supplier’s acquisition or use of goods and services used to provide the Services. Hawaiian Telcom and Supplier shall cooperate to determine a Party’s tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible. Each Party shall provide and make available to the other Party any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state sales or use of equipment, materials or services, and any other exemption certificates or information requested by a Party.

10.7 No Adjustments or Other Charges. Supplier’s performance of any and all of the Services is included within the Charges. Hawaiian Telcom shall not be obligated to pay, or reimburse Supplier for, any costs, fees, expenses or charges other than those costs, fees, expenses and charges expressly designated in this Agreement as Hawaiian Telcom’s responsibility. Supplier shall make no adjustments to any Charges except as expressly permitted under Exhibit 4.

10.8 Due Diligence. Hawaiian Telcom has delivered or made available to Supplier all information and documents Supplier has deemed necessary for Supplier to commit to its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

10.9 Most Favored Customer. Supplier agrees that Hawaiian Telcom shall be treated as a most favored customer of Supplier. Supplier shall provide to Hawaiian Telcom Supplier’s best pricing for the Products and Services that Supplier provides to its other customers (excluding Supplier Affiliates) purchasing similar products and services in similar volumes. Supplier shall notify Hawaiian Telcom in a timely manner in the event Supplier provides better pricing for products or services to another customer (excluding a Supplier Affiliate) purchasing similar products and services in similar volumes under similar terms and conditions and shall in such notice offer to Hawaiian Telcom a reduction in Charges to match the charges in any such transaction. Upon request, no more than once per contract year, Supplier shall provide Hawaiian Telcom with a comparison of Hawaiian Telcom and its other top accounts, using a scorecard of key contract terms to be agreed upon by both Parties.

Retroactive pricing credits shall be awarded to Hawaiian Telcom at 9.92% Service Charge (compared to the current Agreement’s 11.25% ▇▇▇▇-up) and applied retroactively to all purchases made within the one-hundred fifty (150) days prior to the date of contract signing. Credits shall be disbursed within thirty (30) days of contract execution.

(b) Supplier shall acknowledge receipt of each Hawaiian Telcom order as soon as reasonably practicable after Supplier’s receipt of such order, which notification shall be within two (2) hours after receipt with respect to Expedited Orders. Each order acknowledgement will confirm the type and quantity of Products ordered, the applicable prices, delivery dates, and special shipping instructions (if any). For purposes of this Agreement “receipt” means the time that Hawaiian Telcom’s order arrives at Supplier’s physical address, email address, or EDI system, as applicable. Supplier shall accept all orders placed by Hawaiian Telcom that are

consistent with this Agreement. Hawaiian Telcom may cancel an Order for Stocked Products up to ten (10) calendar days prior to shipment by Supplier, with no penalty or charges.

12.4 Inventory. Hawaiian Telcom shall have financial responsibility for Unique Products identified in Unique Products Listing, Exhibit 1, Attachment 1, as amended and exchanged periodically between the parties. Unique Products shall have been purchased by Supplier on Hawaiian Telcom’s behalf and in no event will Supplier’s inventory of Unique Product exceed Hawaiian Telcom’s established credit limit. Hawaiian Telcom may from time to time request that additional product(s) be added to the Unique Product Listing. If such additional product(s) is determined to be Unique, the product shall be added by Supplier to a monthly updated Unique Product Listing to be transmitted to Hawaiian Telcom. The updated Unique Product Listing shall be deemed accepted by Hawaiian Telcom and effective as of the date of transmission unless any objection or correction is identified by Hawaiian Telcom within five (5) business days of transmission, and remain effective until the next update.

If Supplier is unable to dispose of the Unique Products after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so then, within thirty (30) days of Hawaiian Telcom’s receipt of notice from Supplier, Supplier will assess a monthly carrying charge of 1.25% on the inventory value to Hawaiian Telcom. Hawaiian Telcom has the option to purchase, on a quarterly basis, all Unique Products remaining in Supplier’s inventory with inventory turns of less than three (3). Unique Products will only remain in Supplier’s inventory for a maximum of twelve (12) months, at such time Hawaiian Telcom agrees to purchase all Unique Products remaining in Supplier’s inventory with inventory turns of less than three (3). Upon purchase by Hawaiian Telcom, Supplier will at Hawaiian Telcom’s direction either; (i) ship Unique Products to Hawaiian Telcom, at Hawaiian Telcom’s expense, or (ii) put Unique Products into a 3PL solution. 3PL fees will include a monthly storage fee of 1.5% of the average inventory for the preceding month, and a transaction fee of $16.00 per line shipped. Freight for shipment will be paid by Hawaiian Telcom. Further, within sixty (60) days following any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Hawaiian Telcom will purchase any Unique Products in Supplier’s inventory or that are on order to Vendor (if such order is not cancelable).

Supplier and Hawaiian Telcom mutually agree to review and assess in good faith the Unique Inventory process after one year from the effective date to reevaluate whether carrying charge is warranted.

Hawaiian Telcom’s Unique Inventory liability will be applicable on the previous eighteen (18) months of Supplier’s purchases of Unique Product(s), such timeframe to be calculated from Article 10.10 retroactive pricing credits’ effective date. For the Product(s) Supplier purchased on Hawaiian Telcom’s behalf that fall outside the Unique Inventory liability timeframe, Hawaiian Telcom will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Supplier with inventory burn down, by means of substituting such Product for future demand requirements, or assisting in negotiating with Supplier’s OEM for return authorizations, in an attempt to reduce Supplier’s inventory exposure due to Hawaiian Telcom’s obsolescence of such Product. The implementation of this Article 12.4 will go into effect twelve (12) months following the retroactive pricing credits’ effective date.

12.5 Ownership and License. The ownership and use rights applicable to any software Products and software contained within the Products shall be as specified in the license agreement associated with such Products.

12.6 Version Updates. Upon notice from manufacturer , Supplier shall notify Hawaiian Telcom of the latest version release. Supplier shall be able to provide details around the Product’s backward and forward compatibility. Hawaiian Telcom shall provide confirmation on which version release it chooses to purchase and shall have the right to modify Orders to receive the latest version release, in accordance to Article 12.1(b). If the

latest version is not backward and forward capable, Hawaiian Telcom will deplete Supplier’s inventory prior to switching to the latest version. Supplier and Hawaiian Telcom will determine the appropriate Stocking Strategy for the latest version release, and for Product not backward and forward compatible, Supplier will continue to supply those version releases that remain on Hawaiian Telcom’s Product Listing until such time Product is not available from the manufacturer.

12.7 New Products Introduced by Supplier. For new products that Supplier either encourages Hawaiian Telcom to adopt or substitutes for an existing product on Hawaiian Telcom’s Product Listing, Supplier shall be required to furnish adequate testing results and customer references, at a minimum, so that Hawaiian Telcom may obtain unbiased feedback on these new products. Supplier shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to validate new product performance with supporting documentation and customer feedback. At Hawaiian Telcom’s request, Supplier will request from the manufacturer at no cost, samples of new or substitute Products to be provided to Hawaiian Telcom other than the associated freight charges. Any ongoing customer feedback (e.g. unsatisfactory product reports or common product issues logs) shall be provided to Hawaiian Telcom on a monthly basis, or as it happens for critical items. For the introduction of new retail/CPE phones (listed in Exhibit 6), upon request by Hawaiian Telcom, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish professional graphics, as available from its manufacturers, to support Hawaiian Telcom’s advertising efforts.

13. CONTINUED PROVISION OF SERVICES

13.1 Disaster Recovery Plan. Supplier will review its Disaster Recovery Plan (“DRP”) with Hawaiian Telcom on a periodic basis. Supplier may revise its DRP as required, in Supplier’s sole discretion. Supplier will immediately notify Hawaiian Telcom of any disaster involving Supplier’s facilities. Supplier and Hawaiian Telcom have reviewed the Product Listing, identified those Critical Items required by Hawaiian Telcom in the event of a disaster in Hawaii, and developed a plan to supply those items. Without limiting Supplier’s other obligations under this Agreement, if Supplier is unable to deliver Critical Items to Hawaiian Telcom within forty-eight (48) hours due to a disaster involving Supplier’s main facility serving Hawaiian Telcom, then Hawaiian Telcom may cancel orders from Supplier without penalty, and secure the Critical Items from another source. Supplier may not increase the Charges or impose additional fees, costs or expenses due to a disaster unless these are pass through costs from manufacturers.]

13.2 Force Majeure. If and to the extent a Party’s performance of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement is prevented, hindered or delayed by fire, flood, earthquake, acts of God, acts of war, riots, rebellions or revolutions, labor strikes, or failure of vendor to provide Product(s) to Supplier within stated manufacturer’s lead time, or actions of Third Party Hawaiian Telcom designated vendors which impact Supplier’s ability to perform, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party (but excluding failures of Supplier Agents) (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), and such was not caused by, and could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions undertaken by, the Party claiming a Force Majeure Event, then such Party shall be excused for such non-performance, hindrance or delay of those obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure

Event continues and such Party continues to use its commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible, including through the use of alternate locations or vendors, workaround plans and other means. The Party whose performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event shall immediately notify the other Party of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event. The occurrence of a Force Majeure Event does not excuse, limit or otherwise affect Supplier’s obligation to implement the Disaster Recovery Plan. Supplier shall not increase the Charges or impose on Hawaiian Telcom any additional fees, costs or expenses with respect to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event.

13.3 Allocation of Resources. If a Force Majeure Event or a disaster causes Supplier to allocate limited resources among its customers, Supplier will ship Products in the order in which they were ordered.

14. COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE; AUDITS

(b) Supplier Laws. With respect to changes in Laws to which Supplier is required to submit or voluntarily submits, Supplier shall implement in a timely manner, at its own cost and expense, any changes in the Services required to comply with such changes; provided, that if such changes have a material effect on the provision or receipt of the Services, Supplier shall obtain Hawaiian Telcom’s consent before implementing such changes.

(c) Supplier will make available promptly to Hawaiian Telcom the results of any reviews or audits conducted by or on behalf of Supplier relating to the Supplier’s operating practices and procedures to the extent relevant to the Services and to the extent Supplier makes such reviews or audits available to any other Supplier customer (excluding Supplier Affiliates).

The Indemnified Party shall cooperate, at the cost of the Indemnifying Party, in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own

Consequential Damages. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT. CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND INDIRECT DAMAGES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, AND LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, WHETHER OR NOT THE OTHER PARTY WAS AWARE OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE DAMAGES.] The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply to: (i) the Parties indemnification obligations under Article 20; (ii) any inaccuracy, untruthfulness, or breach of any warranty set forth in Article 16; (iii) Supplier’s breach of Article 17.3, 17.4, or 17.5; (iv) breaches of Article 15; (v) damages to a Party caused by the other Party’s failure to comply with a Law; or (vi) liability resulting from the fraud, gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional or willful misconduct of a Party.

The insurance companies providing such insurance must have an A.M. Best rating of A minus-/VII or better and be licensed or authorized to conduct business in all states in which Hawaiian Telcom does business. The provisions of this Article 22 shall in no way limit the liability of Supplier. Failure of Hawaiian Telcom to request certificates of insurance or insurance policies shall not constitute a waiver of Supplier’s obligations and requirements to maintain the minimal coverages specified.

In order for the acts and omissions of Supplier and its representatives and agents to be “continually covered” there must be insurance coverage for the entire period commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is at a minimum three (3) years after the Term, and such insurance must satisfy the liability coverage requirements provided for in this Agreement.

Hawaiian Telcom shall be listed on all such insurance policies (except workers’ compensation insurance, for which Supplier shall obtain a waiver of subrogation for Hawaiian Telcom from Supplier’s insurer, Employer’s Liability, All Risk Property Liability, and Employee Dishonesty and Computer Fraud) obtained by Supplier as “Additional Insureds” up to the amount required of Supplier under this Agreement. If a “claims made” policy is purchased, then Supplier shall also purchase adequate “tail coverage” for claims made against Hawaiian Telcom after such policy has lapsed or been canceled or this Agreement is no longer in effect. Hawaiian Telcom shall not materially reduce the amounts or types of coverages specified in this Article 22 without Hawaiian Telcom’s prior approval.

23. Miscellaneous Provisions.

No officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or contractor retained by Supplier to perform work on Hawaiian Telcom’s behalf under this Agreement shall be deemed to be an

employee, agent or contractor of Hawaiian Telcom. Neither Party shall have any right, power or authority, express or implied, to bind the other.

23.4 Continuity of Services. In the event of a good faith dispute, the Parties agree to continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement during the resolution of such dispute unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof.

23.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to Law, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement, if capable of substantial performance, shall remain in full force and effect.

23.6 Waivers. No delay or omission by either Party to exercise any right or power it has under this Agreement shall impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power. A waiver by any Party of any breach or covenant shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant. All waivers must be signed by the Party waiving its rights.

23.7 Timing and Cumulative Remedies. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that time is of the essence with respect to its performance of its obligations under this Agreement. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to either Party is exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy under this Agreement or under applicable Law.

23.8 Survival. The terms of Articles 14.2(a), 14.3, 15, 19, 20, 21, 23 and Section 11 of Addendum One shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

23.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to the Hawaiian Telcom Affiliates, each Party intends that this Agreement shall not benefit, or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of, any person or entity other than the Parties.

23.10 Governing Law and Venue. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the United States and the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The Parties mutually, expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury and any right to proceed in a class action or other representative capacity for any proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or an Order. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement or Order may, at the option of the parties, be finally settled by arbitration. If, however, waiver of jury trial is held to be unenforceable by a court, then arbitration is mandatory. Any arbitration must be held in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. All arbitration proceedings for disputes relating to domestic Products or Services will be held in New York, NY. If the dispute relates to Supplier’s provision of non-domestic Products or Services, all arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language pursuant to the Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). The place of arbitration for disputes related to non-domestic Products or Services is New York, NY, USA. Any such arbitration proceeding will not include class action arbitration.

23.11 Covenant of Further Assurances. Hawaiian Telcom and Supplier covenant and agree that, subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and, without any additional consideration, each of Hawaiian Telcom and Supplier shall execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any acts that are or may become necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

23.12 Publicity. Each Party shall (i) submit to the other all advertising, written sales promotions, press releases and other publicity matters relating to this Agreement in which the other Party’s trade name or trademark is mentioned or which contains language from which the connection of said name or ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ be inferred or implied, and (ii) not publish or use such advertising, sales promotions, press releases or publicity matters without the other Party’s consent.

23.13 Consents, Approvals and Requests. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, all consents and approvals to be given by either Party under this Agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and each Party shall make only reasonable requests under this Agreement.

23.14 Good Faith and Fair Dealing. Hawaiian Telcom and Supplier each acknowledge and agree that all aspects of the relationship and dealings between Hawaiian Telcom and Supplier contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by the fundamental principle of good faith and fair dealing except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

23.15 Non-Assumption. This Agreement does not constitute an assumption (as that term is used under applicable bankruptcy law) of the agreement between the Parties dated December 10, 2004. Each Party reserves all rights and remedies under title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), including without limitation, Hawaiian Telcom’s right to assume or reject the aforementioned agreement under section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Supplier hereby waives its cure for payment of any products or services arising out of the aforementioned agreement on or before December 1, 2008, with the exception of (i) Supplier’s previously filed proof of claim and reclamation claim; (ii) Supplier’s to be filed claim under Section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to which Hawaiian Telcom hereby waives any objection; and (iii) any obligation to cure arising out of Hawaiian Telecom’s subsequent election to assume the aforementioned agreement.

23.16 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, represent the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter, and there are no other oral or written representations, understandings or agreements between the Parties relative to such subject matter. No amendment to, or change, waiver or discharge of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both Parties.

23.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one single agreement between the Parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of Hawaiian Telcom and Supplier has caused this Agreement to be signed and delivered by its duly authorized representative.
