the parties dispute whether the Initial System is performing in accordance
with the applicable Acceptance Test Plan, the parties agree to meet to try to
resolve the dispute within fourteen (14) days after one party delivers a
written request for a meeting to the other party. Such meeting shall be
attended by individuals with decision-making authority to attempt, in good
faith, to negotiate a resolution of the dispute prior to pursuing other
available remedies. If, within fourteen (14) days after such meeting, the
parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, then
either party may commence arbitration under Subsection 7.3.2, below, by
delivering a written demand for arbitration to the other party.
7.3.2 If either party commences arbitration
in the manner described above, the dispute will be subjected to binding
arbitration before a panel of three (3) independent arbitrators. Such

authority to require the submission (at a hearing or otherwise) of such
documents, information, testimony, and other items as the arbitrators may
deem necessary to make a fair and reasonable decision. Within sixty (60)
days after the appointment of the arbitrators, the arbitrators will render a
written decision. The arbitrators shall be limited to addressing the issues
in dispute arising out of the acceptance testing provisions described in this
Section 7 and interpreting the applicable provisions of this Agreement and
the applicable Market Purchase Agreement in connection with such issues. The
parties agree that the System shall be deemed accepted for purposes of this
Agreement if the arbitrators conclude that the System is materially
performing in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Test Plan. A
judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof and shall constitute a final adjudication
of all matters submitted to arbitration. The costs of all arbitration
services, however, shall be shared equally by the parties.

provisions of this Section 7 shall also apply to the acceptance of Components
installed on a System after installation of the Initial System, except that:
(i) CTS and Customer shall only test the newly-installed Components as part
of a System in accordance with the terms of the Standard Acceptance Test
Plan; (ii) Customer may reject such newly-installed Components in the manner
described in Subsection 7.1; (iii) CTS shall correct any non-conformities in
the manner described in Subsection 7.2; and (iv) if CTS does not correct such
non-conformities within the designated timetables and re-test periods, then
Customer may, at its election, either: (a) terminate the obligations of the
parties only with respect to such newly-installed Components by providing CTS
with written notice of termination within thirty (30) days after expiration
of the designated timetables and re-testing periods, or within such other
time period as the parties mutually agree to in writing, or (b) retain such
non-conforming new Components if, within the time period for providing the
notice of termination specified in clause (a), above, the parties mutually
agree in writing on [*].

EXCHANGE COMMISSION
12.1.2 Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, CTS shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, assigns and successors from and against any
losses, damages, liability, and expenses awarded by final judgment against

settlement is made with respect to such IP Claim, CTS shall pay all amounts
agreed to by CTS in settlement of such IP Claim. CTS shall, at its expense,
defend and, at its sole discretion, settle any such IP Claim. Customer, at
its own expense, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any
suit or proceeding involving an IP Claim through counsel of its choosing.
However, CTS shall have at all times the full and complete authority to
defend and settle such IP Claim.
12.1.3 Customer shall provide CTS with
prompt written notice of any IP Claim, together with copies of all related
court documents involving such IP Claim. Customer's failure to provide
timely notice to CTS of any such IP Claim shall not relieve CTS from any
liability under this Subsection 12.1 with respect to such claim, to the
extent that CTS is not prejudiced by such failure. CTS shall keep Customer
advised of the status of any such IP Claim and of its defense and/or
negotiation efforts. Customer shall provide CTS with such information and
assistance for the defense of such IP Claim as is reasonably requested by CTS.
12.1.4 If, in any proceeding involving an IP
Claim, a System is held to constitute a violation, infringement, or
misappropriation of a Third Party's United States Intellectual Property Right
and use of such System is enjoined, or if in CTS's opinion any such
violation, infringement, or misappropriation is likely to occur, CTS, at its
option and expense, will either: (i) obtain the right for Customer to
continue use of the System by license, release from claim of infringement, or
by other appropriate means; (ii) modify the System to make it non-infringing
but continue to perform in accordance with the Specifications in all material
respects; (iii) replace the System with a non-infringing system of like
functionality which performs in accordance with the Specifications in all
material respects; or (iv) if election of any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)
are impractical in CTS's reasonable judgment, after using reasonable efforts
for a reasonable period of time under the circumstances, CTS may terminate
this Agreement and the License granted herein with respect to such System by
providing Customer with written notice of such termination. If, pursuant to
clause (iv) above, CTS terminates this Agreement and the License with respect
to a System, then (a) Customer shall, at CTS's request and expense, either
promptly return the System to CTS or destroy the same; (b) Customer shall be
entitled to a refund equal to the License Fees and Hardware Fees described in
SCHEDULE A which specifically pertain to such System and which Customer
actually paid to CTS, which refund CTS may reduce by a reasonable sum for
use, depreciation, and amortization [*]; and (c) each party shall release the
other party from all future payments and other obligations under this
Agreement and the Support Services Agreement with respect to such System,
except for the obligations described in this Subsection 12.1 and Subsection
14.4, below, and any other provision which by its terms survives termination
hereof. [*]
12.1.5 Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, CTS shall have no liability under Sections 11 or 12 of this
Agreement for any IP Claim which: (i) pertains to a System which has been
materially altered or modified by Customer or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, subcontractors, assigns or successors without CTS's prior
written approval, unless the use of an unaltered or unmodified version of the
System is shown to constitute an infringement; or (ii) pertains to any
Third-Party Software or Hardware (other than Cell Site Hardware purchased
from CTS for installation in Cell Sites) that is the sole basis of such
infringement.

Subsection 12.1 are Customer's exclusive remedies in connection with any IP
Claim.
12.2 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION.
12.2.1 Each party (the "Indemnifying Party")
shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties") from and against any losses, damages, liability, and
expenses awarded by final judgment against such Indemnified Parties arising
from any claim alleging injury to any person, including death, or damage to
property, including theft, to the extent directly resulting from the acts or
omissions of the Indemnifying Party or its officers, directors, employees,
agents, successors or assigns, whether negligent or otherwise, or, if any
compromise or settlement is made with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall pay all amounts agreed to by the Indemnifying Party in settlement
of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall, at its sole expense, defend
and, at its sole discretion, settle any such claim. The Indemnified Party,
at its own expense, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any
such claim through counsel of its choosing. However, the Indemnifying Party
shall have at all times the full and complete authority to defend and settle
such claim.
12.2.2 The Indemnified Party shall provide
the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of any of the claims
described in Subsection 12.2.1, above, brought against an Indemnified Party,
together with copies of all related court documents involving such claim. An
Indemnified Party's failure to provide timely notice to the Indemnifying
Party of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
liability under this Section 12.2 with respect to such claim, to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party is not prejudiced by such failure. The
Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party advised of the status or
any such claim and of its defense and/or negotiation efforts. The
Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information
and assistance for the defense of such claim as is reasonably requested by
the Indemnifying Party.
13. PROSECUTION OF INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS. CTS shall have
the exclusive right to take all actions, control all litigation or other
proceedings, and negotiate and enter into all settlements with respect to any
infringement of any of CTS's Intellectual Property Rights, as CTS deems
necessary or appropriate to protect CTS's Intellectual Property Rights,
except as CTS and Customer may otherwise agree to in writing. Customer
agrees to provide to CTS, at CTS's expense, reasonable information and
assistance in connection with the prosecution of such infringement as
reasonably requested by CTS. Any recovery of damages or attorneys' fees in
connection with any such action, or in settlement of any such action, will
belong entirely to CTS. CTS will have no obligation to institute suit
against any particular person or entity for infringement of any Intellectual
Property Rights of CTS.

the date of this Agreement and will continue thereafter for [*]. This

TO
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
SPECIFICATIONS
This Schedule contains the functional Specifications for a System as
required by the Master Purchase and License Agreement between CTS and
Customer (the "Agreement"). All undefined capitalized terms used in this
Schedule shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in the
Agreement. Each overall System is comprised of one or more Regional
Processor Systems and Cell Site Systems.
BLACKBIRD-Registered Trademark- PLATFORM AND PRETECT-TM-
APPLICATION FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
Together, the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform and PreTect-TM- form a
home market cloning prevention solution, in which the Blackbird-Registered
Trademark- Platform collects cellular phone data that PreTect-TM- measures
and uses to interdict analog cellular phone cloning attempts in real time.
BLACKBIRD-Registered Trademark- PLATFORM OVERVIEW
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform is the data collection and
storage platform for CTS's real time cellular fraud prevention applications.
Using hardware and software at the Cell Site System (CSS) and Regional
Processor (RP), the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform collects and
stores the following cellular call data that form a cellular call event
signature, or "fingerprint":
- Radio frequency (RF) transmission characteristics: The subtle
differences between different cellular phones' RF signatures.
- Mobile Identification Number (MIN): The unique phone number assigned a
cellular phone.
- Electronic Serial Number (ESN): The unique number programmed into a
cellular phone during the manufacturing process.
- [*]
- [*]
CTS designed the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform as a platform for
delivery of a modular system of cellular fraud prevention applications. The
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform Application Programming Interface
(API) facilitates seamless integration of current and future CTS products to
meet the changing fraud prevention requirements of its customers.
PRETECT-TM- OVERVIEW
PreTect-TM- is the real time cloning detection and interdiction application
designed to function on the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform.
PreTect-TM- works to prevent cloning fraud.
Over time, PreTect-TM- uses the information collected and stored by the
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform to build a unique fingerprint for
each analog cellular phone. PreTect-TM- also measures each call attempt
transmitted
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 31
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
to a cell site against this fingerprint. This real time measurement process
allows PreTect-TM- to quickly determine whether the attempt originated from a
cloned analog cellular phone.
Users access PreTect-TM- through a Graphical User Interface on Hewlett
Packard X-terminals or IBM PC-compatible computers running X-terminal
emulation software. Through the graphical user interface, users can [*]
[*]
Through the graphical user interface, users can configure PreTect-TM- to meet
the needs of daily operations on their cellular network:
[*]
Finally, users can [*]. This allows customer service and fraud prevention
departments to better utilize the data storage and analysis capabilities of
the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform/PreTect-TM- system:
[*]
SYSTEM HARDWARE OVERVIEW
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform/PreTect-TM- system includes the
following hardware systems:
Each regional processor complex consists of one or more processors, routers
and other hardware necessary to store cellular call data and maintain
connectivity between the Cell Site System and regional processor system.
- Regional Processor: Typically a Hewlett Packard 9000 series
processor(s) running the HP-UX operating system.
- Router: Typically a CISCO 7000 series router(s) used to provide TCP/IP
Ethernet connectivity between the regional processor and each cell
site.
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform and PreTect-TM- software work
with the regional processor system to provide real-time call data collection,
storage and reporting. In addition, the Blackbird-Registered Trademark-
Platform's distributed real-time message processing allows distribution of
fingerprint data among multiple regional processor systems in large markets.
The Cell Site System (CSS) consists of the cell site processor, radios and
other equipment necessary to collect cellular call data, communicate with the
regional processor system and shut down, or interdict, cloning attempts. At
least one CSS is required for each cell site that uses the
Blackbird-Registered Trademark-Platform/PreTect-TM- system. A single CSS
will [*].
- Cell Site Processor (CSP): An industry-standard PC housed in an
industrial-grade metal enclosure, with a cellular modem for remote
network troubleshooting.
- Radio: Cellular radios which collect cellular call data directly from
the cell site antenna and transmit that data to the CSP without
interrupting cell site call traffic.
- Interdiction module: Hardware unit that performs interdiction of
cloning attempts upon command from the CSP. The interdiction module
will vary depending on the carrier's infrastructure type.
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 32
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- and PreTect-TM- software work with the CSS to
gather home market cellular call characteristics, relay information regarding
those characteristics to the regional processor when necessary, and perform
interdiction of cloning attempts.

NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
Attached to this Schedule is a copy of the Bilateral Nondisclosure Agreement
dated as of October 14, 1996, between Cellular Technical Services Company,
Inc. and Ameritech Mobile Communications, Inc. doing business as Ameritech
Cellular Services.
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 47
BILATERAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 14th day of October, 1996,
between AMERITECH MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, doing
business as AMERITECH CELLULAR SERVICES ("ACS"), and CELLULAR TECHNICAL
SERVICES COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Company").
1. ACS and Company intend to disclose to each other information, which
may include confidential information, for purposes of evaluating a proposed
business relationship between the parties or for purposes of performing under
any actual business relationship or agreement between the parties. The term
"Confidential Information" shall mean any information or data which is
disclosed by a party to the other party under or in contemplation of this
Agreement and which (a) if in tangible form or other media that can be
converted to readable form, is clearly marked as proprietary, confidential or
private when disclosed, or (b) if oral, is identified as proprietary,
confidential, or private on disclosure and is summarized in a writing so
marked and delivered within thirty (30) days following such disclosure. The
parties agree that the disclosing party shall have the right to correct any
inadvertent failure to so identify or summarize information as confidential
or proprietary by providing written notification to the receiving party as
soon as practical after such error is determined by the disclosing party.
Upon receipt of such notification, the receiving party shall, from that time
forward, treat such information as "Confidential Information" in accordance
with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Confidential information may
be either the property of the disclosing party or information provided to the
disclosing party by a corporate affiliate of the disclosing party or by a
third party.
2. The parties agree that all information regarding subscribers of ACS,
including subscriber lists, MINs, ESNs, and usage information, and related
subscriber information and data, and all Call Data derived from calls
originating from ACS' cellular network, as defined in the Service Agreement
for Real-Time Prevention of Roaming Closing Fraud between the parties dated
as of the date hereof, is to be deemed ACS's Confidential Information
hereunder whether or not it is marked in accordance with Section 1 hereof.
3. This Agreement is intended to encompass the corporate affiliates of
both parties hereto. Consequently, affiliates of either party may disclose
Confidential Information to the other party or its affiliates, and affiliates
of either party may receive Confidential Information from the other party or
its affiliates. The terms "disclosing party" and "receiving party" shall
include affiliates of the parties hereto with respect to Confidential
Information disclosed or received by the affiliates. The rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall inure to the benefit of their
respective corporate affiliates and may be directly enforced by such
affiliates. Notwithstanding the above, each party shall be responsible for
any failure of any of its
affiliates to fully comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to
the other party's Confidential Information.
4. The receiving party acknowledges the economic value to the disclosing
party of all Confidential Information. With respect to Confidential
Information, the recipient shall:
(a) use the Confidential Information only for the purpose(s) set forth in
Section I above;
(b) restrict disclosure of the Confidential Information solely to those
employees of such party and its affiliates with a "need to know" and
not disclose it to any other person or entity without the prior
written consent of the disclosing party;
(c) advise those employees who gain access to Confidential Information of
their obligations with respect to the Confidential Information and
ensure that each such person fully complies with the terms of this
Agreement with respect to the disclosing party's Confidential
Information;
(d) make only the number of copies of the Confidential Information
necessary to disseminate the information to those employees who are
entitled to have access to it, and ensure that all confidentiality
notices set forth on the Confidential Information are reproduced in
full on such copies; and
(e) safeguard the Confidential Information with the same degree of care
to avoid unauthorized disclosure as recipient uses to protect its own
confidential and private information (but in any event no lesser
standard than that which a reasonable person would utilize with
respect to its own trade secrets or confidential information of a
similar nature).
For the purposes of this Agreement only, "employees" includes third
parties retained for temporary administrative, clerical or programming
support.
A "need to know" means that the employee requires access to the
Confidential Information in order to perform his or her responsibilities in
connection with the evaluation of a proposed business relationship between
the parties or performance under any actual business relationship or
agreement between the parties.
5. The obligations of Paragraph 4 shall not apply to any Confidential
Information which the recipient can demonstrate (i.e., the receiving party
shall have the burden of proving the existence of any of the following
exceptions):
(a) is or becomes available to the public through no breach of this
Agreement;
-2-
(b) was previously known by the recipient without any obligation to hold
it in confidence;
(c) is received from a third party free to disclose such information
without restriction;
(d) is independently developed by the recipient without the use of
Confidential Information of the disclosing party;
(e) is approved for release by written authorization of the disclosing
party, but only to the extent of and subject to such conditions as
may be imposed in such written authorization;
(f) is required by law or regulation to be disclosed, but only to the
extent and for the purposes of such required disclosure; or
(g) is disclosed in response to a valid order of a court or other
governmental body of the United States or any political subdivisions
thereof, but only to the extent of and for the purposes of such order;
provided, however, that the recipient shall first notify the
disclosing party of the order and permit the disclosing party to seek
an appropriate protective order.
6. When requested by the recipient, the disclosing party will provide a
non-confidential resume of Confidential Information prior to disclosure of
the actual Confidential Information to enable the recipient to determine
whether it can accept the Confidential Information. Each party has the right
to refuse to accept any information under this Agreement, and nothing
obligates either party to disclose to the other party any particular
information.
7. Each party acknowledges its obligation to control access to and/or
exportation of technical data under the applicable export laws and
regulations of the United States, and each party agrees to adhere to and
comply with such laws and regulations with respect to any technical data
received under this Agreement.
8. Confidential Information, including permitted copies, shall be deemed
the property of the disclosing party. The recipient shall, within twenty (20)
days of a written request by the disclosing party, return all Confidential
Information, including all copies thereof, to the disclosing party or destroy
all such Confidential Information. The recipient shall also, within ten (10)
days of a written request by the disclosing party, certify in writing that
it has satisfied its obligations under Paragraphs 4, 7 and 8 of this
Agreement.
9. Both parties agree that an impending or existing violation of any
provision of this Agreement would cause the disclosing party irreparable
injury for which it would have no
-3-
adequate remedy at law, and that the disclosing party shall be entitled to
seek immediate injunctive relief prohibiting such violation, in addition to
any other rights and remedies available to it.
10. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (a) be deemed a commitment
to engage in any business relationship, contract or future dealing with the
other party, or (b) limit either party's right to conduct similar discussions
or perform similar work to that undertaken pursuant hereto, so long as said
discussions or work do not violate this Agreement.
11. No patent, copyright, trademark or other proprietary right or license
is granted by this Agreement, except for the right to use such information in
accordance with this Agreement. No warranties of any kind are given with
respect to the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement or any
use thereof, except as may be otherwise agreed to in writing.
12. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first written above
and shall terminate upon the later of: (i) the termination of the Master
Purchase and License Agreement between the parties dated as of the date of
this Agreement; or (ii) five (5) years after the date of this Agreement. All
obligations undertaken hereunder shall survive any termination of this
Agreement with respect to Confidential Information disclosed prior to the
termination of this Agreement.
13. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior
written consent of the other, except that either party may assign this
Agreement to any of its affiliates upon prior written notice to the other
party. No permitted assignment shall relieve a party of its obligations
hereunder with respect to Confidential Information disclosed to that party
prior to the assignment. Any assignment in violation of this Section shall be
void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective
successors and assigns.
14. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement and
replaced by a valid and enforceable provision which so far as possible
achieves the parties' intent in agreeing to the original provision. The
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect.
15. Each party warrants that it has the authority to enter into this
Agreement and to lawfully make the disclosures contemplated hereunder.
16. This Agreement, together with the Non-Disclosure Agreement between the
parties dated September 6, 1994 (the "Prior Agreement"), represents the
entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior communications, agreements and understandings
relating thereto. The parties agree that the
-4-
date of this Agreement shall be the termination date of the Prior Agreement,
such that the Prior Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to the
"Confidential Information" (as defined in the Prior Agreement) of the
Company disclosed prior to the date of this Agreement. The provisions of this
Agreement may not be modified, amended, or waived, except by a written
instrument duly executed by both parties. This Agreement shall be governed in
all respects by the domestic laws of the State of Delaware.
