| 3. | Electronic Commerce Programs |
By enrolling in any Nortel Networks’ electronic commerce program, Customer agrees to comply with the terms of such program. Customer agrees that all electronic Orders issued are equivalent to a written Order, are governed by the terms and conditions of this PLA and that in the event of any conflict between this PLA and the information contained in Customer’s or Nortel Networks’ electronic commerce website, this PLA governs. Customer is responsible for the use and protection of all electronic commerce passcodes provided by Nortel Networks and agrees that all Orders submitted using such passcodes are valid and binding Orders authorized by Customer.

| 4. | Licensed Use of Software |
Nortel Networks grants Customer a nonexclusive license to use a copy of the Software to the extent of the activation or authorized usage level. To the extent Software is furnished for use with designated Products or Customer furnished equipment (“CFE”), Customer is granted a nonexclusive license to use Software only on such Products or CFE, as applicable. Software contains trade secrets and Customer agrees to treat Software as Information. Customer will ensure that anyone who uses the Software does so only in compliance with the terms of this PLA. Customer shall not a) use, copy, modify, transfer or distribute the Software except as expressly authorized; b) reverse assemble, reverse compile, reverse engineer or otherwise translate the Software; c) create derivative works or modifications unless expressly authorized; or d) sublicense, rent or lease the Software.

| 5. | Charges and Payment |
Amounts are due upon receipt of invoice and shall be paid by Customer within 30 days of the receipt of the invoice by Customer. Invoice cannot be issued before the D-Date. In the event of non-payment after such period of thirty (30) days, Nortel Networks may suspend performance, product shipments or otherwise terminate this PLA upon a five (5) day written notice provided the default is not cured within such five (5) days. Nortel Networks will inform Customer in advance whenever additional charges for special handling apply. All the charges for shipping insurance and special handling are Nortel Networks responsibility. Charges for Software may be based on extent of use authorized as specified in a Supplement or invoice. Customer agrees to pay the charges applicable for any activation or usage beyond the authorized level. If any authority imposes a tax, duty, levy or fee, excluding those based on Nortel Networks’ net income, upon a Product or Service supplied by Nortel Networks under this PLA, Customer agrees to pay that amount as specified in the invoice, or supply exemption documentation. Customer consents without qualification to the sale of receivables, in whole or in part, including all or any part of any associated rights, remedies, and obligations, by Nortel Networks without further notice and authorizes the disclosure of this PLA and Supplements as necessary to facilitate such sale.
In the event that the funds available to Customer are at any time less than Fifty Million Canadian Dollars (CDN$50,000,000), Customer will notify Nortel Networks in writing and provide an irrevocable standby letter of credit sufficient to cover the amount of its outstanding receivables with Nortel Networks.

| 6. | Warranty |
| a) | Nortel Networks warrants that Hardware i) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and ii) conforms to Nortel Networks’ published specifications. If Hardware does not function as warranted during the Warranty Period, Nortel Networks will determine to either i) make it do so, or ii) replace it with equivalent Hardware. | |
| b) | Nortel Networks warrants that when Software is used in the specified operating environment it will conform to its published specifications. If Software does not function as warranted during the Warranty Period, Nortel Networks will provide a suitable fix or workaround as per applicable support plan as the case may be, or will replace free of charge the Software. | |
| c) | Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. Services shall be warranted concurrently with the Products purchased by Customer, as per the attached warranty matrix. If Services are not performed as warranted and Nortel Networks is notified in writing by Customer, Nortel Networks will re-perform free of charge the non-conforming Services during the Warranty Period. | |
| d) | The warranty period for Hardware and Software shall be the warranty period identified in the Nortel Networks warranty matrix in effect at the time of Customer’s Order (“Warranty Period”). In the event Nortel Networks determines that repair or replacement as set forth in this Section 6 cannot be made using commercially reasonable efforts and within a reasonable period of time, Nortel Networks will refund to Customer the price paid for the Product. | |
| e) | No warranty is provided for i) supply items normally consumed during Product operation; ii) failures caused by non-Nortel Networks products; iii) failures caused by a Product’s inability to operate in conjunction with other Customer hardware or software; or iv) performance failures resulting from services not performed by Nortel Networks or Customer’s failure to purchase all necessary Products under this PLA. Warranty will be voided by misuse, accident, damage or modification, failure to maintain proper physical or operating environment or improper Customer maintenance. Software is not warranted to operate uninterrupted or error free. THESE WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS ARE CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND SOLE REMEDIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. | |
| f) | Nortel Networks provides Third Party Vendor Items with warranties unless Nortel Networks specifies otherwise, in writing, prior to the acceptance of the Order. |
| 7. | Warranty Service |
Nortel Networks provides certain types of warranty repair and exchange service, without charge. Nortel Networks will inform Customer of the types of warranty services available to Customer consistent with Nortel Networks standard practices and response times through supplement that will be attached to this PLA and updated from time to time and through the warranty matrix. Nortel Networks Technical Assistance Services (“TAS”) are available for warranty repair during the Warranty Period at no charge for specified Products. When Customer is required to return Hardware to Nortel Networks for warranty service, Customer agrees to ship it prepaid and suitably packaged to a location Nortel Networks designates. Nortel Networks will return the Hardware to Customer at Nortel Networks’ expense. Nortel Networks is responsible for loss of, or damage to, Customer Hardware while it is a) in Nortel Networks’ possession or b) in transit back to Customer. Any returned Hardware becomes Nortel Networks’ property. Subject to Nortel Networks’ receipt of the exchanged Hardware, its replacement becomes the Customer’s property. The replacement Hardware may not be new but will be in working order and at least equivalent to the item exchanged. The warranty

| 8. | Title and Risk of Loss |
Title and risk of loss for ordered hardware shall pass from Nortel Networks to Customer upon delivery to the Customer designated location as specified on the Order.
| 9. | Implementation and Installation Services |
Customer agrees to provide sufficient, free and safe access to Customer’s facilities and a suitable physical environment meeting Nortel Networks’ specified requirements to permit the timely installation of Products and/or performance of Services. Nortel Networks will perform its responsibilities in accordance with the standard Nortel Networks statement of work where applicable. Nortel Networks will successfully complete its standard installation and commissioning procedures before it considers Products installed. Nortel Networks may make alterations to any Product and Service as necessary to comply with specifications, changed safety standards or governmental regulations, to make a Product non-infringing with respect to any patent, copyright or other proprietary interest, or to otherwise improve a Product or Service. Customer is responsible for i) the results obtained from the use of Products and Services; ii) integration and interconnection with Customer’s hardware and/or third party hardware and/or systems; and iii) installation of Furnish-only Products.
When Installation has been successfully completed, Nortel Networks shall give Customer written confirmation of this completion. Customer and Nortel Networks shall then immediately conduct the Acceptance Tests and advise Nortel Networks in writing whether or not Customer will accept the Products. If the Products do not meet the Acceptance Tests, Customer shall give Nortel Networks written notice thereof, specifying the particulars of such deficiency, whereupon Nortel Networks shall forthwith modify, repair or replace the Products so that they do meet such requirements at its own cost and expense. The parties shall then repeat all applicable Acceptance Tests so as to ensure that the deficiencies have been rectified and no new deficiencies have been introduced, whereupon Customer shall give Nortel Networks written notice of acceptance of the Products and the Warranty Period shall commence from the date of such notice. If, after 60 days from the date of receipt of the first deficiency notice, the Products still do not meet the requirements of the Acceptance Tests, Customer shall have the right to return the deficient Product and obtain a refund of all amounts paid therefor.
| 10. | Confidential Information |
| a) | Confidential information (“Information”) means i) Software and Third Party Software; and ii) all business, technical, marketing and financial information and data that is clearly marked with a restrictive legend of the disclosing party (“Discloser”). | |
| b) | The party receiving Information (“Recipient”) will use the same care and discretion, but not less than reasonable care, to avoid disclosure, publication or dissemination of Information as it uses with its own similar information that it does not wish to disclose, publish or disseminate. The Recipient may disclose Information only to i) its employees and employees of its parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies who have a need to know for purposes of carrying out this PLA; and ii) any other party with the Discloser’s prior written consent. Before disclosure to any of the above parties, the Recipient will have a written agreement with such party sufficient to require that party to treat Information in accordance with this PLA. | |
| c) | The Recipient may disclose Information to the extent required by law. However, the Recipient must give the Discloser prompt notice and make a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order. |
4
| d) | No obligation of confidentiality applies to any Information that the Recipient i) already possesses without obligation of confidentiality; ii) develops independently; or iii) rightfully receives without obligations of confidentiality from a third party. No obligation of confidentiality applies to any Information that is, or becomes, publicly available without breach of this PLA. | |
| e) | The release of any advertising or other publicity relating to this PLA requires the prior approval of both parties. |
| 11. | Patents and Copyrights |
If a third party claims that Nortel Networks Hardware or Software or Third Party Vendor Items provided to Customer under this PLA infringes that party’s patent or copyright, Nortel Networks will defend Customer against that claim at Nortel Networks’ expense and pay all costs and damages that a court finally awards or are agreed in settlement, as well as reasonable lawyers’ fees, regardless of the outcome of the claim, provided that Customer a) promptly notifies Nortel Networks in writing of the claim and b) allows Nortel Networks to control, and cooperates with Nortel Networks in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. If such a claim is made or appears likely to be made, Nortel Networks agrees to secure the right for Customer to continue to use the Hardware or Software, or to modify it, or to replace it with one that is equivalent. If Nortel Networks determines that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, Customer agrees to return the Hardware or Software to Nortel Networks on Nortel Networks’ written request. Nortel Networks will then give Customer a credit equal to Customer’s net book value for the Hardware or Software provided Customer has followed generally-accepted accounting principles. Any such claims against the Customer or liability for infringement arising from use of the Hardware or Software following a request for return by Nortel Networks are the sole responsibility of Customer. This represents Nortel Networks’ entire obligation to Customer regarding any claim of infringement. Nortel Networks has no obligation regarding any claim based on any of the following: a) anything Customer provides which is incorporated into the Hardware or Software; b) functionality provided by Nortel Networks at the instruction of Customer; c) Customer’s modification of Hardware or Software; d) the combination, operation, or use of Hardware or Software with other products not provided by Nortel Networks as a system, or the combination, operation, or use of Hardware or Software with any product, data, or apparatus that Nortel Networks did not provide.
| 12. | Limitation of Liability |
In no event shall Nortel Networks or its agents or suppliers be liable to Customer for more than the amount of any actual direct damages up to twice the amount payable for the Products and Services to which are the subject of the claim (provided that any sums which remain unpaid by Customer in respect of such Products and Services shall be deducted from the above amount) regardless of the cause and whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise. This limitation will not apply to claims for damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property for which Nortel Networks is legally liable and payments as set forth in Section 11 Patents and Copyrights. IN NO EVENT SHALL Nortel Networks OR ITS AGENTS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: a) DAMAGES BASED ON ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN AND IN SECTION 11: b) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, CUSTOMER’S RECORDS, FILES OR DATA; OR c) INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF Nortel Networks IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN AND IN SECTION 11.

All Customer’s rights and all of Nortel Networks’ obligations are valid only in the country in which the Products and Services were supplied; the laws of the Province of Ontario govern this PLA, exclusive of its conflict of laws provisions; and nothing in this PLA affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
