other weather conditions (not including those referred to in Article 7.4(a)
(ii)), unless such conditions are Extraordinary Weather Conditions.
7.7 No Claims for Prevention of Early Completion.
Contractor waives the right to assert any claim against Owner in the event
Contractor is unable to complete a Key Task before the date set forth in the
applicable Initial City Schedule, regardless of the reason for Contractor's
failure, including the acts or omissions of Owner; provided, however, in the

pricing set forth in Exhibit C (Contract Pricing, Payments and
Milestone Achievement Criteria), Contractor shall perform all Site
Construction and provide all equipment (except repeaters, which
shall be provided by Owner at Owner's expense) at any additional
Sites as required to implement the Build-To City Network Design.
(2) In the event Contractor has implemented the Build-To City Network
Design in accordance with such Design, but the Repeater Acceptance
Testing nevertheless indicates the City Network does not meet the
Terms and Conditions
Page 26
CONFIDENTIAL
Repeater Acceptance Test Criteria set forth in Exhibit E (Network
Testing and Acceptance Criteria), the Parties shall analyze the
cause of the discrepancies between the Build-To City Network Design
and the Repeater Acceptance Testing results. If the discrepancy is
due to Contractor's failure to design the City Network in accordance
with the performance standards set forth in Article 10.1(a) and/or
to implement the Build-To City Network Design in accordance with the
performance standards set forth in Article 10.1(a), then Contractor,
at its cost, shall perform all additional RF Engineering and other
services required (except Site Construction at additional Sites) for
the City Network to meet the Repeater Acceptance Test Criteria, and,
at Owner's cost in accordance with the pricing set forth in Exhibit
C (Contract Pricing, Payments and Milestone Achievement Criteria),
Contractor shall perform Site Construction and provide all equipment
(except repeaters which shall be provided by Owner at Owner's
expense) required for the City Network to meet the Repeater
Acceptance Test Criteria.
(3) If the discrepancy is due to any other cause, then Contractor, at
Owner's cost in accordance with the pricing set forth in Exhibit C
(Contract Pricing, Payments and Milestone Achievement Criteria),
shall perform the RF Engineering and other services and provide the
equipment necessary for the City Network to meet the Repeater
Acceptance Test Criteria.
(4) Upon completion of the work set forth in paragraphs (1), (2) and (3)
above, Contractor shall repeat Repeater Acceptance Testing in
accordance with this Article 8.1 and Exhibit E, to the extent
necessary to demonstrate compliance with the Repeater Acceptance
Test Criteria.
(d) Owner shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, the time at which
the work required by paragraphs (b)(1) - (b)(4) above shall be performed
promptly or otherwise. The schedule and cost impact of postponing correction of
such deficiencies for a material period of time after completion of Repeater
Acceptance Testing shall be mutually agreed by the Parties; it is the Parties'
expectation that correction of such deficiencies promptly after completion of
Repeater Acceptance Testing shall impact neither the pricing set forth in
Exhibit C (Contract Pricing, Payments and Milestone Achievement Criteria) nor
Contractor's performance to schedule.
(e) Owner shall provide Contractor with written notice within thirty (30)
Calendar Days after receipt of the Repeater Acceptance Test Report required by
Exhibit E (Network Testing and Acceptance Criteria), identifying that portion of
the work required by paragraphs (b)(1) - (b)(4) above that Owner desires
Contractor to commence promptly, as well as, that portion of the Work Owner does
not desire Contractor to commence promptly. For portions of the Work that Owner
does not request Contractor to commence promptly, such portions of the work
shall be deemed completed and fully functioning for purposes of Contractor's
reperformance of Repeater Acceptance Testing and meeting the Repeater Acceptance
Test Criteria under paragraph (b)(4) above.

8.2 City Network Testing of Repeaters and One Satellite
Upon Owner's request, Contractor shall test each City Network with the
first of Owner's satellites against live test criteria (the "Live Testing").
Such Live Testing shall not be within the scope of this Contract and shall be
the subject of later agreement by the Parties. Such later agreement shall
include the following:
(a) The Live Test Criteria shall be developed for the integrated repeater
and one -satellite, for at least the same level of performance established in
the Repeater Acceptance Test Criteria (appropriately adjusted to reflect
improved City Network performance reasonably expected as a result of adding
additional sites pursuant to Article 8.1 (Repeater Acceptance Testing) and
satellite coverage). The Live Testing shall be conducted in accordance with a
Live Test Plan proposed by Contractor for Owner's review and approval prior to
the first scheduled Live Testing. Contractor shall incorporate Owner's
reasonable comments into the Live Test Plan prior to commencing Live Testing.
(b) Contractor shall deliver to Owner a report setting forth in detail the
results of Live Testing, including all test data. If the results of the Live
Testing indicate the City Network fails to meet the Live Test Criteria, and if
such deficiency is the result of Contractor's failure to design in accordance
with the applicable standards set forth in Article 10.1(a), then Contractor, at
its cost, shall perform all additional RF Engineering and, at the Parties'
shared costs, Contractor shall perform all other services (except Site
Construction ) required to meet the Live Test Criteria, and, at Owner's cost in
accordance with the pricing set forth in the Exhibit C (Contract Pricing,
Payments and Milestone Achievement Criteria), Contractor shall perform all Site
Construction and provide all equipment and antennas required to meet the Live
Test Criteria (repeaters to be provided by Owner at Owner's expense).
(c) It is understood by the Parties that Contractor will apply best
engineering practices within the limitations of Contractor's satellite line of
sight tool and data input (imperfect USGS maps and absence of building,
vegetation and other morphological data).

commercially reasonable efforts to make such warranties
assignable to Owner or to make Owner the intended third-party
beneficiary thereof.
(2) With respect to warranties that are assignable, Contractor
shall assign all such warranties to Owner on demand and in no
event later than Acceptance of the City Network in which the
relevant materials, equipment and services are incorporated or
to which they are related, whichever occurs earlier. With
respect to warranties that are not assignable or for which
Owner is the intended third-party beneficiary, Contractor
shall enforce such warranty on behalf of Owner prior to the
first anniversary of the Acceptance of the City Network to
which the warranted material, equipment or services attaches;
thereafter, upon Owner's request, Contractor shall provide
such enforcement on a Task-Order Pricing basis set forth in
Exhibit C (Contract Pricing, Payments and Milestone
Achievement Criteria).
(3) If Owner seeks to enforce a claim based upon a manufacturer's
warranty and such manufacturer fails to honor its warranty
based, in whole or in part, on a claim of defective

backdoors, to bypass any Owner security measures protecting the Work.
(g) Year 2000 Compliance.
Contractor represents and warrants that it has (i) undertaken an
assessment of all significant computer hardware, software, networks, systems and
equipment used by Contractor directly to perform the Work ("Business Systems")
that could be adversely affected by failure to accurately adapt, accommodate,
process or respond to the date 9/9/99, periods spanning the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries, and dates within the Year 2000 and thereafter ("Year
2000 Ready"), (ii) developed a plan and a timeline for rendering all Business
Systems material to the Work to be Year 2000 Ready (the "Year 2000 Plan") before
any failure would have a material adverse effect on the Work, and (iii) to date,
implemented such plan in accordance with such timetable in all material
respects. Contractor represents and warrants that (i) it has and will continue
to request all Material Subcontractors to provide to Contractor assessments of
the Year 2000 Readiness of all material computer hardware, software, networks,
systems and equipment of such suppliers used in providing products or services
to Contractor businesses ("Supplier Systems"), (ii) it has received such
assessments from all Material Subcontractors and (iii) based on such assessments
to date and after reasonable inquiry, nothing has come to its attention to cause
it to believe that all material Supplier Systems will not be Year 2000 Ready in
all material respects. The Year 2000 Plan and each such Material Subcontractor's
response, have been previously provided to Owner. Contractor's sole obligation
under the foregoing warranty shall be to use its commercially reasonable efforts
to correct any non-conformity therewith.

replacement parts for antennas, all warranties hereunder applicable to such
replacement part supplied under warranty shall begin anew from the date said
replacement part is installed and is ready to begin service; with respect to all
other replacement parts, Contractor shall provide such parts on
industry-standard terms.
10.2 Duty to Correct.
(a) Contractor shall cure any breach of warranty after receipt of Notice
of Defect thereof from Owner, provided that payment has been made in respect
thereof, and regardless of prior reviews, inspections, approvals or acceptances
and regardless of whether Contractor disputes Owner's assertion of a breach of
warranty.
(b) Contractor shall fulfill the foregoing obligations at its own expense,
including, with respect to Site Construction, all costs arising from charges for
de-installation, removal, installation, repair, packaging, shipping, insurance,
taxes and other matters associated with the corrective measure.
(c) If Contractor fails to cure any breach of warranty after two (2)
attempts at correction, such attempts not to exceed thirty (30) Calendar Days,
after receipt of a Notice of Defect from Owner, Owner may, by separate contract
or otherwise, make the necessary cure and Contractor shall pay to Owner the
reasonable costs of such cure.
(d) If, after corrective measures have been taken, Contractor continues to
dispute Owner's assertion of a breach of warranty, Owner and Contractor shall
enter into dispute resolution pursuant to Article 22 (Dispute Resolution). If it
is determined by written agreement of the Parties or pursuant to Article 22
(Dispute Resolution) that a breach of warranty did not exist, Owner shall be
liable to Contractor for the incremental costs incurred by Contractor as a
result of any cure measures performed by Contractor, such costs to be reimbursed
in accordance with the Default Pricing for Contractor services set forth in
Exhibit C (Contract Pricing, Payments and Milestone Achievement Criteria).
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, if correction of any breach of warranty

11. CHANGES IN SCOPE OF WORK
11.1 Changes Requested by Owner.
(a) Subject to paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) below, Owner shall be entitled
to direct, during the performance of this Contract, any change within the
general scope of this Contract, including any change that will add, delete, or
change the Work, affect the design or construction of any Site or the time for
performance of the Work set forth in the Initial City Schedules and/or
Acceptance Date; provided, however, (i) this Article 11 (Changes in Scope of
Work) shall not be used by Owner to terminate this Contract in part for
convenience; (ii) Owner shall be entitled only to direct additions or changes to
the Work for which Contractor has, or will have within a reasonable period of
time using commercially reasonable efforts, the resources to perform such
addition or change; (iii) the additions or changes to the Work involve services
Contractor provides as part of its ordinary business; and (iv) the additions or
changes to the Work will not materially adversely affect Contractor's
performance under the Initial City Schedules.
(b) Any change directed by Owner as described in paragraph (a) above shall
be submitted in writing to Contractor. Contractor shall respond to such directed
change in writing to Owner within fourteen (14) Calendar Days after receipt of
such directed change and shall include in such response the details of the
impact of such change in the Work on the Contract Sum and/or Initial City
Schedules and/or Acceptance Date. In the event Contractor, using commercially
reasonable efforts, cannot prepare such details within such period, Contractor
shall so advise Owner and shall submit, for Owner's approval, a request for an
extension of such period that in no event shall exceed sixteen (16) Calendar
Days, such request to set forth the reasons that the details of the impact of
such change could not be documented within such fourteen (14) Calendar Days
using commercially reasonable efforts. Upon Owner's approval, Contractor shall
be granted such extension.
(c) If Owner and Contractor agree upon the change in the Contract Sum
and/or the Initial City Schedule and/or Acceptance Date caused by the change in
the Work, Contractor shall proceed with the performance of this Contract as
changed immediately upon the execution by both Parties of a Change Order
reflecting such agreement.
(d) If the Parties cannot agree on a change to the Contract Sum and/or
Initial City Schedule and/or Acceptance Date, as occasioned by the additions or
changes in the Work directed by Owner pursuant to paragraph (a) above, Owner may
issue a Change Directive for such additions or changes. Contractor shall proceed
with the Work in accordance with the Change Directive and Owner may dispute the
reasonableness of Contractor's determination with respect to the appropriate
change to the Contract Sum and/or Initial City Schedule and/or Acceptance Date
under Article 22 (Dispute Resolution). Pending resolution of such dispute, Owner
shall pay Contractor in accordance with Article 11.3(b). If it is determined by
written agreement of the Parties or pursuant to Article 22 (Dispute Resolution)
that Contractor is entitled to an amount other than the amount paid by Owner,
Owner shall pay to Contractor the amounts of the shortfall or Contractor shall
refund to Owner the amount of the excess, as the case may be, with interest on
such amount running from the date of initial payment by Owner to the date of

in Article 28.11 (Calculation of Interest).
(e) Any determination of a change to the Contract Sum pursuant to this
Article 11.1 (Changes Requested by Owner) shall be made in accordance with
Article 11.3 (Pricing of Changes).
11.2 Changes Requested by Contractor.
(a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, Contractor may request,
during the performance of this Contract, any change within the general scope of
this Contract, including any change that will add or delete Work, cause a
revision to the Initial City Schedules or Acceptance Date or affect any other
requirement of this Contract.
(b) Any changes as described in paragraph (a) above requested by
Contractor shall be submitted in writing to Owner at least thirty (30) Calendar
Days prior to the proposed date of the change, or such notice as is reasonable
under the circumstances, that is, the notice for a complex and costly change
shall be significantly greater than that for a simple change that does not
impact the Contract Sum. If such Contractor-requested change causes an increase
or decrease or other impact on the Work, Contract Sum, Initial City Schedules or
Acceptance Date or other terms of this Contract, Contractor shall submit, with
such request, a written proposal identifying such change and the impact thereof
on the Contract Sum, Initial City Schedules or Acceptance Date or other terms of
this Contract.
(c) Owner may accept or reject such request in Owner's sole discretion.
Owner shall notify Contractor in writing, within fourteen (14) Calendar Days
after receipt of the requested change proposal, or within such period as is
reasonable under the circumstances; that is, the response to a notice that would
require significant analysis due to adverse changes in Contract Sum, Initial
City Schedules or Acceptance Date may be longer than that for a minor change
that does not adversely impact Contract Sum, Initial City Schedules or
Acceptance Date, whether or not Owner agrees with and accepts such change and
the impact thereof. If Owner agrees with and accepts Contractor's requested
change and such impact thereof, Contractor shall proceed with the performance of
this Contract upon the execution by both Parties of a written Change Order
reflecting such changes. If Owner does not agree to the requested change,
Contractor shall continue performance in accordance with this Contract without
regard to such requested change.
(d) Any determination of a change to the Contract Sum pursuant to this
Article 11.2 (Changes Requested by Contractor) shall be made in accordance with
Article 11.3 (Pricing of Changes).
11.3 Pricing of Changes.
(a) When calculating the change in the Contract Sum caused by changes in
the Work pursuant to this Article 11 (Changes in Scope of Work), the pricing set
forth in Exhibit C (Contract Pricing, Payments and Milestone Achievement
Criteria) shall apply to increases,
Terms and Conditions
Page 36
CONFIDENTIAL
decreases and other changes in the Work, as applicable. Where the pricing in
Exhibit C does not apply to a specific change, (i) if the change in the Work
alters the Work in a manner that results in the provision of additional services
or materials, the increase in the Contract Sum shall be equal to either (a) a
lump sum agreed to by the Parties, or (b) in the absence of agreement by the
Parties, the Default Pricing set forth in Exhibit C (Contract Pricing, Payments
and Milestone Achievement Criteria) for Contractor services, and (ii) if the
change in the Work alters the Work in a manner that results in the provision of
fewer services or materials, the decrease in the Contract Sum shall be equal to
either (a) a lump sum agreed to by the Parties or (b) in the event the Parties
cannot agree on such lump sum, a percentage reduction, as reasonably agreed by
the Parties, in the Milestone Payments to which the Work relates in an amount
reflecting the reduction of services or materials necessary to complete the
Milestones. In determining any increase or decrease in the Contract Sum under
this Article 11.3 (Pricing of Changes), the increase or decrease to the Contract
Sum shall be further adjusted to take into account the effect, if any, of the
increase, decrease or other change in the Work on the efficiencies in
performance by Contractor (and its Subcontractors), including the effect on
changes in the Initial City Schedules, the incurrence of wind-down expenses
(including those described in Article 26.1(d)) and the incurrence of
mobilization expenses.
(b) In the event the Parties cannot agree on a change to the Contract Sum
as contemplated by Article 11.1(d), then pending resolution of such dispute,
Owner shall pay Contractor in accordance with the specific prices set forth in
Exhibit C (Contract Pricing, Payments and Milestone Achievement Criteria) or, if
such specific pricing is not applicable, in accordance with the Default Pricing
for Contractor services set forth in Exhibit C.

Work) shall be set forth in an Amendment to this Contract in accordance with
Article 28.3 (Amendments).

17. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article 17, all Developed
Materials provided by Contractor under this Contract, together with all
Intellectual Property Rights in and to such Developed Materials, shall be deemed
to be works made for hire as defined in 17 U.S.C. Section 101 of the United
States Copyright Act of 1976, as amended. Owner shall be deemed the author of
such Developed Materials and shall own all right, title and interest in and too
all Intellectual Property Rights in the Developed Materials, with the right to
use, adapt and change said Developed Materials and to prepare derivative works
therefrom. To the extent any Developed Materials are deemed to not be works made
for hire, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) below, this
Contract shall constitute an irrevocable, fully paid-up, perpetual, worldwide
assignment by Contractor to Owner of Contractor's rights in the ownership of,
and all Intellectual Property Rights in, such Developed Materials, and Owner
shall have the right to obtain and hold in its own name all Copyright Rights and
similar protections that may be available in such works. Contractor agrees to
give Owner or its designee, at Owner's expense, all assistance reasonably
required to perfect such rights. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b)
below, in the event Contractor utilizes Subcontractors in performing Work for
Owner, Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Owner,
ownership of, and all Intellectual Property Rights in, the Developed Materials
developed or produced by any Subcontractor.
(b) The Parties acknowledge that various Subcontractors preparing site
specific drawings may not normally convey full ownership of their work (e.g.,
architectural & engineering drawings, environmental reports, title reports and
title surveys, land surveys, etc.) (collectively "Site Specific Drawings") in
the normal course of business. With respect to these items, Contractor shall
convey to Owner all rights that are provided by the Subcontractor in connection
with its products or services, including Site Specific Drawings. At a minimum,
however, Contractor shall convey to Owner a fully paid-up, perpetual,
non-terminable royalty-free license to use all Site Specific Drawings prepared
by Subcontractors for the Project. Contractor will not retain or obtain in the
future any Intellectual Property Rights with respect to the Site Specific
Drawings developed under this Contract. Subject to Article 20.3 (Indemnification
Procedures), Owner agrees to indemnify Contractor and the A&E Subcontractors
from any Losses arising out of use of any Site-Specific Drawings beyond the
scope of their intended purpose.
(c) Contractor will own all Intellectual Property Rights in and to any
software developed, refined or modified by Contractor in the course of, or to
aid in any way its performance under, this Contract ("Contract Software"), and
in all Contractor Tools, regardless of whether Owner has paid for such
development, refinement or modification, and except with respect to the license
set forth in this paragraph (c) regarding WINDS, Owner shall have no rights to
use such Contract Software or Contractor Tools. In the event Owner wishes to use
such Contract Software (other than WINDS) or Contractor Tools, Owner and
Contractor shall in good faith negotiate a license therefor. Owner understands
and agrees that any such Contract Software or Contractor Tools will be provided
"as is" with no warranty of any kind, and Contractor shall have no obligation to
support or maintain such software or tools. With respect to WINDS, and subject
to the terms and conditions of this Contract and Attachment C (Terms and
Conditions of License), Contractor
Terms and Conditions
Page 47
CONFIDENTIAL
hereby grants to Owner a fully paid up, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
irrevocable restricted right and license to use the WINDS software at Owner's
facility solely for Owner's internal business purposes (i) until the first City
Network to achieve Acceptance, to access Project data accessible through the
WINDS software using an internet browser and (ii) upon occurrence of the first
City Network to achieve Acceptance, to use a single copy of the WINDS software
for all purposes for which it was intended, including to access, add, delete and
edit Project data and other data associated with the Terrestrial Repeater
Network System on such single copy, as such system may evolve over time.
(d) Owner shall own all Patent Rights arising out of or relating to any
invention developed under this Contract that relate to technology incorporated
into infrastructure equipment that is not the core business of Contractor but is
essential to the business of Owner ("Owner Patent Rights"). Contractor will own
all other Patent Rights arising out of or relating to this Contract. Owner
hereby grants to Contractor a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, assignable
license to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, or import technology,
apparatus, methods or services that are covered by such Owner Patent Rights with
the right to sublicense any of the foregoing rights. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, (i) it shall be a violation of the foregoing license to
exercise any of the foregoing rights (including assignment and sublicensing) for
the benefit of any direct competitor of Owner, and (ii) in the event of any such
violation, Owner may revoke the license granted to Contractor herein. Owner
agrees it will not license, transfer or assign Owner Patent Rights to a direct
competitor of Contractor.
(1) Contractor shall promptly notify owner, in writing, of any and
all inventions subject to Owner Patent Rights.
(2) Owner has the primary option for taking all action with
respect to filing and obtaining patents and other suitable
forms of protection in the United States and in any foreign
country in which Owner desires to perfect such right, at
Owner's sole expense from and after EDC. If Owner does not
exercise the above option within six (6) months of the first
public use of the subject matter to be patented, then
Contractor has the right to file and obtain patents and other
suitable forms of protection in the United States or any
foreign country at its sole expense. Further, if either Party
has exercised its right with respect to Owner Patent Rights,
then the other Party shall cooperate fully with the Party that
exercised such rights, such cooperation to include the
preparation, filing and prosecution of all patent applications
filed pursuant to this paragraph, and which shall include
execution by the other Party and its employees of any and all
such papers and instruments as are necessary or helpful to the
preparation, filing and prosecution of all such patent
applications. Regardless of which Party files for a patent
application or other suitable form of protection pursuant to
this paragraph, Owner shall own the patent application and
patent or other protection.
(3) If any Owner Patent Right is infringed by a third party, the
Party first having knowledge of such infringement shall
promptly notify the other in
Terms and Conditions

writing, which notice shall set forth the facts of such
infringement in reasonable detail. Owner shall have the
primary right, but not the obligation, to institute,
prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect
to such infringement, through counsel of its own choice, and
Contractor shall have the right, at its own expense, to be
represented in such action by counsel of its own choice. If
Owner fails to bring such action or proceeding within a period
of one hundred twenty (120) Calendar Days after receiving
written notice from Contractor or otherwise having knowledge
of such infringement, Contractor shall have the right to bring
and control any such action by counsel of its own choice, and
Owner shall have the right, at its own expense, to be
represented in any such action or proceeding. In any event,
the second Party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff and
to give the first Party reasonable assistance and authority to
file and prosecute such suit. The Party bringing such suit
shall be responsible for all expenses of prosecuting such suit
(except to the extent the other Party elects to be represented
by counsel of its own choosing). In the event of any damages
or other monetary awards covered therein in favor of Owner
and/or Contractor, the Party bringing suit will be entitled to
recover its expenses first and any remaining portion of such
award shall then be paid fifty percent (50%) to Owner and
fifty percent (50%) to Contractor. No settlement or consent
judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under
this Article may be entered into without the joint consent of
Owner and Contractor (which consent shall not be withheld
unreasonably).
(4) Each Party agrees to pay to the other Party, commencing in the
first full fiscal quarter after EDC, and continuing quarterly
thereafter, a royalty of fifty percent (50%) of all net
revenues, if any, derived from the manufacture, use or sale of
products covered by the subject of the patent or, from the
licensing or sublicensing of the Owner Patent or patent
license as the case may be. Such royalties shall be paid on or
before the last day of the first month following the
applicable fiscal quarter. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Contractor shall not be obligated to pay
royalties with respect to any services it provides in the
ordinary course of its business, even if such services are
provided using products covered by the subject of the Owner
Patent.
(5) Each Party agrees to keep full, true, and accurate books of
account containing all particulars that may be necessary for
the purpose of showing the amount of royalties payable to the
other pursuant to paragraph (d)(4) of Article 17 (Intellectual
Property Rights). Each Party shall keep these books of account
at the usual place where its books are kept. Each Party shall
retain such books and the supporting data for at least three
(3) years following the end of the fiscal year to which they
pertain, and shall make available the supporting data for
inspection by the other Party or an independent certified
public accountant retained by such
Terms and Conditions

other Party for the purpose of substantiating the amount of
the first Party's royalty payments, or, in the case of
Contractor, compliance with the patent license granted herein.
The inspecting Party shall pay for the services of the
independent certified public accountant unless the independent
certified public accountant determines that the other Party
has understated the royalties due the inspecting Party, in
which case the other Party shall pay the entire amount charged
by the accountant for the accountant's services. The
non-inspecting Party agrees to pay the balance of such
royalties plus interest within ten (10) Calendar Days after
written notice of the understatement, such interest computed
in accordance with Article 28.11 (Calculation of Interest)
from the day on which said royalties were due and owing until
the date paid.
(e) Except as provided in this Article 17, Owner may use all Developed
Materials provided by Contractor hereunder to complete the Project, for
additions to the Project, or for any other purpose. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Contractor will have no responsibility or liability to
Owner with respect to any modification to the Developed Materials made by Owner
or any other contractor retained by Owner.

third-party U.S., Canadian or Mexican Intellectual Property Right.
(b) If the use of the Work or any part thereof is enjoined, Contractor

case may be, or substitute an equivalent product reasonably acceptable to Owner,
or modify the Work or infringing part thereof to render them non-infringing

indemnifying Party has delivered a Notice of Election relating to any claim in
accordance with the preceding paragraph, the indemnifying Party shall not be
liable to the indemnified Party for any legal expenses incurred by the

22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any dispute, claim, or controversy between the Parties arising out of or
relating to this Contract ("Dispute"), including any Dispute with respect to the
interpretation, performance, termination, or breach of this Contract or any
provision thereof shall be resolved as provided in this Article 22 (Dispute
Resolution).
22.1 Informal Dispute Resolution.
Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the
Parties shall first attempt to resolve their Dispute informally, in a timely and
cost-effective manner, as follows:
(a) If, during the course of the Work, a Party believes it has a Dispute
with the other Party, the disputing Party shall give written notice thereof,
which notice will describe the Dispute and may recommend corrective action to be
taken by the other Party. Contractor's Project Manager shall promptly consult
with Owner's Project Manager in an effort to reach an agreement to resolve the
Dispute.
(b) In the event agreement cannot be reached within five (5) Calendar Days
of receipt of written notice, either Party may request the Dispute be escalated,
and the respective positions of the Parties shall be forwarded to an executive
level higher than that under paragraph (a) above for resolution of the Dispute.
(c) In the event agreement cannot be reached under paragraphs (a) or (b)
above within a total of ten (10) Calendar Days after receipt of the written
notice described in paragraph (a) above, either Party may request the Dispute be
escalated, and the respective positions of the Parties shall be forwarded to the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of each Party, and such executives shall meet
during such time to resolve the Dispute.
(d) In the event agreement cannot be reached under paragraphs (a), (b) or
(c) above within a total of twenty (20) Calendar Days after receipt of the
written notice described in paragraph (a) above, either Party may proceed with
arbitration in accordance with Article 22.2 (Arbitration).
22.2 Arbitration.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 22.1(Informal Dispute Resolution)
and Article 22.3 (Litigation), any Dispute shall be resolved by mandatory and
binding arbitration in accordance with the then-effective Center for Public
Resources Rules for Nonadministered Arbitration of Business Disputes, as may be
amended from time to time (the "CPR Rules"), which are incorporated herein by
reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any provision of this
Article 22.2 (Arbitration) modifies, adds to, or is inconsistent with any
provision of the CPR Rules, the provisions of this Article shall control.
Terms and Conditions
Page 62
CONFIDENTIAL
(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by a three-arbitrator tribunal (the
"Tribunal"). Within thirty (30) Calendar Days after the commencement of the
arbitration, each Party shall appoint one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators
shall together appoint the third arbitrator as provided in CPR Rule 5.2. Each
arbitrator appointed by the Parties shall be knowledgeable and experienced in
contracting for technical systems and shall have senior management and/or
legal/judicial experience.
(c) Unless otherwise limited by the Tribunal or the agreement of the
Parties, the Parties shall be permitted to take discovery, if and as needed, by
deposition upon oral examination, requests for production of documents and
things, and requests for entry upon land for inspection and other purposes, as
those discovery methods are described and defined in the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure; provided, however, that any limitations in the Federal Rules on the
number, timing, or sequence of such discovery requests shall not apply. The
scope of permissible discovery shall generally be as described in Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure Rule 26(b)(1), but the Parties shall use their best efforts
to focus and limit their discovery in accordance with the nature of the dispute
and the need for expedited resolution. The Tribunal may expand or limit the
scope of permissible discovery, establish the time period within which discovery
responses must be served, and expand or limit the type and number of discovery
methods and requests as it shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances,
taking into account the needs of the Parties and the desirability of making
discovery expeditious and cost-effective. The Tribunal may issue orders to
protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets, and other
similar information disclosed in discovery and may order that discovery not be
had or that discovery may be had only on specific terms and conditions.
(d) Time is of the essence in the initiation and completion of the
arbitration. The arbitral hearing shall be commenced and conducted
expeditiously. Unless the Tribunal orders otherwise, the Dispute should be
submitted to the Tribunal for decision within two (2) months after the
commencement of the arbitration, and the final award shall be rendered within
one (1) month thereafter. The Parties and the Tribunal shall use their best
efforts to comply with this schedule, and the Tribunal may impose any remedy it
deems just for any Party's effort to unnecessarily delay, complicate or hinder
the proceedings.
(e) The arbitration shall be held in Washington, D.C., USA.
(f) Any arbitration proceeding held pursuant to this Article shall be
governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ▇▇.▇▇. 1 et seq., and
judgment upon the award rendered by the Tribunal may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof.
(g) The Tribunal's award may grant any remedy or relief that the Tribunal
deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Contract, including
specific performance or other equitable relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Tribunal shall have no power or authority to amend or disregard any
provision of this Article 22.2 (Arbitration) or any other provision of the
Contract; in particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Tribunal shall not have the power or authority to exclude the right of a
Party to terminate this Contract when a
Terms and Conditions
Page 63
CONFIDENTIAL
Party would otherwise have such right. The Tribunal also shall have no power or
authority to award punitive or exemplary damages to any Party.
(h) The non-prevailing Party, as determined by the Tribunal, shall pay the
costs of the arbitration and the prevailing Party's fees and expenses incurred
with respect to the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees as
determined by the Tribunal. In the event of an arbitration involving multiple
claims with different Parties prevailing on each claim, the Tribunal shall
apportion the expenses and fees between or among the Parties in such manner as
it deems reasonable, taking into account the circumstances of the case, the
nature of the claims, and the result of the arbitration.
(i) At any time more than ten (10) Calendar Days before the commencement
of the hearing, any Party defending against any claim may serve upon the adverse
Party an offer to allow an award to be entered against the defending Party on
any claim for the money or property or to the effect specified in the offer. If
within ten (10) Calendar Days after the service of the offer, the adverse Party
serves written notice that it accepts the offer, either Party may file the offer
and acceptance with the Tribunal, which will thereupon promptly enter an award
on the claim as provided in the offer. An offer not accepted shall be deemed
withdrawn and shall not be admissible into evidence except with respect to a
determination of fees and expenses. If the award finally made on the claim is
not equal to or more favorable than the offer, then for the purpose of
apportioning expenses and fees pursuant to this Article 22.2 (Arbitration), the
Party making the offer shall be deemed the Prevailing Party with respect to such
claim.
(j) If at the time any Dispute arises, the Center for Public Resources no
longer provides rules or services with respect to the arbitration of business
disputes, then the Parties hereto agree that the arbitration shall be conducted
before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Such arbitration shall be
conducted pursuant to the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules then effective,
provided, however, that in the event of any inconsistency with the AAA rules and
this Article, the provisions of this Article shall control.
22.3 Litigation.
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 22.1 (Informal Dispute
Resolution) and Article 22.2 (Arbitration) above, if the Dispute requires that
immediate equitable relief or relief in aid of arbitration be obtained, either
Party shall have the right to bring suit at any time to obtain preliminary or
temporary injunctive relief, including specific performance, but requests for
permanent injunctive relief shall be arbitrated pursuant to Article 22.2
(Arbitration).
(1) Any such suit shall be brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction in the State of Virginia, provided, however, that
the exclusive venue for any action brought in a Virginia state
court shall be the Circuit Court for Fairfax County, and the
Parties hereby waive any objection to that venue. The Parties
hereby irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the
state and federal courts in the State of Virginia concerning
any Dispute between the Parties. If, for any reason, the state
and federal courts of Virginia do

Page 64
CONFIDENTIAL
not have or refuse to exercise jurisdiction over the Dispute,
then litigation as permitted herein may be brought in any
court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of
America, or if there is no such court, in any other nation.
(2) In the event a Party files a lawsuit pursuant to this Article
22.3 (Litigation), the Prevailing Party is entitled to an
award of its costs and fees, including reasonable attorney's
fees, incurred with respect to the lawsuit. The defendant in
such litigation shall be regarded as the Prevailing Party if
either the court denies the equitable relief sought on the
merits or the court otherwise decides that equitable relief is
not warranted or the matter should be resolved by arbitration.
(b) In the event an entity or person not subject to the provisions of this
Article 22 (Dispute Resolution) commences any litigation or proceeding against
any Party hereto in which the other Party hereto is an indispensable party, the
Party against which the litigation or proceeding is brought may join or attempt
to join the other Party in such litigation or proceeding notwithstanding the
provisions of Article 22.2 (Arbitration). For the purposes of this provision,
the other Party is an indispensable party in the lawsuit or proceeding if (i) in
its absence complete relief could not be accorded among those already a party to
the lawsuit or proceeding; (ii) its absence may as a practical matter impair or
impede its ability to protect its interests relating to the subject of the
lawsuit or proceeding; or (iii) its absence may leave the Party against which
the litigation or proceeding is brought subject to a substantial risk of
incurring double, multiple, or otherwise inconsistent obligations by reason of
the interest of the other Party relating to the subject of the lawsuit or
proceeding.
(c) Nothing in this Contract precludes a Party prevailing on any claim,
whether in arbitration or litigation, from initiating litigation in any
appropriate forum to enter or enforce a judgment based on the Tribunal's or
court's award on that claim.
22.4 Continued Performance.
Pending final resolution of any Dispute, each Party shall, unless directed
otherwise by the other Party in writing, fulfill all its obligations under this
Contract, including the obligation to take all steps necessary during the
pendency of the Dispute to ensure the Work will be performed within the time
stipulated or within such extended time as may be allowed under this Contract,
provided Owner shall continue to make payments of undisputed sums therefore in
accordance with this Contract (including the dispute resolution provisions
hereof), and further provided that, if Owner fails to make such undisputed
payments or the amount of disputed payments withheld by Owner exceeds Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000), Contractor may stop Work as permitted by Article
5.9 (Contractor's Right to Suspend the Work).

Contractor commits a material breach of this Contract, Owner shall be entitled
to deliver to Contractor a written demand that it correct such breach.

In the event Owner does not receive such acknowledgement within three (3)

Contractor shall submit to Owner, for Owner's review, comment and approval, a
Correction Plan; provided, however, no Correction Plan shall ever result in a
change to a Key Task in an Initial City Schedule or the Acceptance Date (as may
be extended pursuant to this Contract) unless the Parties so agree in accordance
with Article 28.3 (Amendments). In the event Owner does not approve the
Correction Plan, Contractor shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt
of Owner's written comments, incorporate all of Owner's reasonable comments into
the Correction Plan and resubmit the Correction Plan to Owner for review and
approval. Owner shall promptly approve such Correction Plan provided Contractor
has incorporated therein Owner's reasonable comments. Upon Owner's approval of

breach for which Owner approved a Correction Plan, Owner shall not deliver to
Contractor a Notice of Default so long as Contractor performs in accordance with
the terms of such Plan.
(b) Unless Contractor has otherwise cured the breach in question, Owner
may terminate this Contract to the extent permitted by paragraph (f) of Article

reasonably determines it can recover from such failure within thirty (30)
Calendar Days thereof so that every Key Task set forth in the Initial City
Schedule to be completed after such thirty (30) Calendar-Day Period can be
completed in accordance with the Initial City Schedule, Contractor need not
submit a Correction Plan to Owner. In the event Contractor fails to complete any
Key Task in accordance with the schedule set forth in any Initial City Schedule,
and Contractor reasonably determines it cannot recover from such failure within
thirty (30) Calendar Days thereof so that every Key Task set forth in the
Initial City Schedule to be completed after such thirty (30) Calendar-Day Period

Owner-approved Correction Plan, in accordance with the revised schedule set
forth therein, and Contractor fails to cure such failure within thirty (30)

1.0 Introduction
Under a license granted by the Federal Communications Commission, XM Satellite
Radio (XMSR) will launch two geo-synchronous satellites for the purpose of
delivering Digital Audio Broadcast Service (DARS) to all areas within the
Continental USA. To overcome signal blockage from terrain, foliage and man-made
structures, a network of terrestrial repeaters will be designed and built in a
total of 70 markets throughout the USA. The turnkey contractor for the 70
repeater networks will be LCC International (LCCI).
Because the DARS service will be a subscription service competing with
commercial AM and FM broadcasters in each market, the coverage reliability
provided by the combined satellite coverage and repeater coverage must be
extraordinarily high. To this end, XMSR has defined a coverage reliability
design goal of [*****] on primary and secondary traffic routes within each of
the 70 markets. Due to the fact that repeater networks will be designed and
constructed prior to launch and activation of the satellites, a somewhat lower
initial coverage reliability guarantee is specified in the turnkey services
contract between XMSR and LCCI. This document describes the design and test
processes by which LCCI will meet the contractual coverage reliability
guarantee--and approach the [*****] coverage reliability goal to the maximum
practical extent.
1.1 Coverage Reliability Specification
The coverage reliability for certain areas and highways within the markets is
specified in Exhibit E of the Contract. These requirements are summarized
below.
a) Primary Traffic Routes in the Central Business District (CBD):
Coverage reliability of [*****] over any single primary route, and no signal
outage greater than [*****] on any single primary route.
b) Primary Traffic Routes outside the Central Business District:
Coverage reliability of [*****] over any single primary route, and no signal
outage greater than [*****] on any primary route.
c) Secondary Traffic Routes anywhere in the market:
Coverage reliability of [*****] over the aggregate of all secondary routes, and
no signal outage greater than [*****] on any secondary route.

with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions.
1.2 Design Philosophy
Due to the high coverage reliability goal, RF design based on modeling tools
alone will not provide the degree of confidence required to meet the coverage
goals. Therefore, a [*****] is required to fully characterize the design and
assure that the coverage requirements are met.
The measurement process requires the installation of [*****] on each potential
repeater site and the use of a [*****] to collect and store signal strength data
on traffic routes around that site. The signal strength data will be processed
and analyzed to determine the coverage that will be provided by that site. The
site-by-site coverage so determined will indicate the degree of coverage
required from adjacent sites (should the site be a part of a cluster of sites).
This is the measurements based design process that is described herein.
2.0 Design Process
The design process is defined in two stages, Preliminary Coverage Design and
Revised Coverage Design. Included in the design process are non-coverage items
such as [*****].
2.1 Preliminary Coverage Design Process
The preliminary design process involves certain definitions, analyses and
approvals. The final result of the preliminary design process is the basis of
the field design activity that becomes the revised design.
The preliminary design analysis is done utilizing the [*****]. The [*****],
when optimized through a measurement integration process, provides a means to
estimate coverage from candidate sites, to obtain a site count estimate and to
select anchor sites for the commencement of the revised design activity. The
[*****] coverage analysis process is described in Appendix A.
The following steps define the preliminary design process (responsible party
shown in parentheses):

2.2 Revised Coverage Design (In Market)
The Revised Design begins with the [*****] that are issued at the end of the
preliminary design process. Although [*****] will be used extensively to
predict coverage from candidate sites, the actual basis of the revised design
will be a measurements process. This basis of the measurement process is
described in Appendix B.

2.3 Transmit to Receive Isolation
One of the technical considerations of site design is the potential for transmit
to receive interference due to the proximity of the transmit frequency to the
receive frequency. Although the transmitter will [*****] analysis and testing
performed by LCC indicates that certain site configurations could result in
insufficient isolation margin. Details of the isolation parameters and the
Isolation Calculator Tool are provided in Appendix C.

2.4 Simulcast Analysis and Test
Under certain conditions, self-interference can result from a so-called
"simulcast condition". A harmful simulcast condition exists when the signal
level from two repeaters are within [*****] of each other and when the time
delay between the two repeaters exceeds [*****]. Prevention of harmful
simulcast conditions is a goal of the design process, and the detection of
potential harmful simulcast conditions is a goal of the test process. The
simulcast design and testing process are described in Appendix D.
The following steps define the Simulcast Design Validation process:

2.5 RF Exposure Compliance Plan
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revised the
telecommunications act for human exposures to Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR)
from the transmitters on wireless communication sites. The FCC adopted as their
standard a combination of the ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and NCRP 1986 standards which
is both preventative and precautionary in nature and applies to both
"Controlled/Occupational" and "Uncontrolled/General Population" exposures of
individuals - as defined in the FCC's OET Bulletin No. 65.
An RF Safety Plan has been submitted under Item RC-2 of the Contract--an
abstract of which is attached hereto as Appendix E. This safety plan fully
explains the regulatory background and the type and extent of RF exposure
analysis and testing.
The basic steps required to assure compliance with the RF exposure requirements
are summarized below. A more detailed description of the RF exposure compliance
plan is provided in Appendix E.

RF SAFETY PROGRAM
The RF Safety Program comprises system level criteria as well as an individual
Site RF Safety Plan.
RF Exposure System Level Compliance Plan
The RF Exposure System Level Compliance Plan defines (a) the criteria for RF
Exposure regulatory compliance, (b) the pre-design guidelines, (c) the process
flow for regulatory management, and (d) the process for information
dissemination and training.
Establish Criteria for Compliance:
The criteria for RF Exposure Regulatory Compliance include definition of
Controlled vs. Uncontrolled Area including their exposure limits, and definition
of Near vs. Far field.
Controlled vs. Uncontrolled Area
--------------------------------
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revised the
telecommunications act for human exposures to Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR)
from the transmitters on wireless communication sites. The FCC adopted as their
standard a combination of the ANSI/IEEEE C.95.1-1992 and NCRP 1986 standards
which is both preventative and precautionary in nature and applies to both
"Controlled/Occupation" and "Uncontrolled/General Population" exposures of
individuals -- as defined in the FCC's OET Bulletin No. 65.
Occupational/controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are
exposed as a consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are
exposed have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can
exercise control over their exposure. Example, a technician performing
maintenance at a site.
General population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the
general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a
consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for
exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. For example, people in
a residential area being exposed by a telecommunications site.

ISOLATION SPECIFICATIONS
1.0 Introduction
Contractor shall design repeater sites in such a way as to prevent degradation
of the satellite signal by the repeater transmitted signal. Contractor shall
position antennas so that there is sufficient isolation to maintain transmitter
interference below the calculated maximum allowed interference, including a
margin. Calculations of maximum interference shall be site specific, using
satellite power levels for the geographic area and repeater transmit power
associated with each specific site.
2.0 Specification Parameters
Contractor shall pre-calculate the interference level using the design site
parameters (fixed and variable) developed under the Interim Services Agreement
and approved by Owner. The critical parameter will be the "Required C/(N+I)
parameter," which shall be used as the baseline signal at the receive antenna
port for acceptable operation.
Contractor will develop for Owner's approval two sample isolation calculations
using the fixed and variable parameters. The calculation result shown on the
"Isolation Margin" line shall determine if the site configuration is a)
acceptable without isolation measurements, b) requires measurement or c) must be
reconfigured for better isolation performance.
The process for performing actual calculations and measurements is provided in
Exhibit A, Attachment 1.

4.0 Reports
Results of isolation margin calculations shall be included in the Candidate Site
Package. Results of each isolation test shall be set forth in a report delivered
