service, packet loss, or sub-optimal performance. Measurement of out-of-service
conditions will be conducted by Developer, and reported to Nextel Partners as
stated below, in Section III - Trouble Identification and Resolution Process.
Under no circumstances will the following be considered an out-of-service
condition: (a) trouble tickets associated with parts or equipment installations;
(b) trouble tickets erroneously opened by other than Developer; (c) required
user circuit release for testing; (d) trouble tickets opened by Developer for
monitoring purposes only; and (e) events beyond Developer's reasonable control.
SCHEDULED DOWNTIME/MAINTENANCE
14
It is expected that occasional downtime will be required to maintain and enhance
Developer-hosted applications. Developer will make commercially reasonable
efforts to provide Nextel Partners with 48 hours prior notice by email to
▇▇▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ of scheduled out-of-service conditions or service
interruptions. Developer will schedule such downtime in an effort to minimize
any impact on users of the Application, including between the hours of 1:00 AM
and 3:00 AM Eastern Time. Special consideration will be given as dictated by
customer needs. For example, some applications might need to be online during
late evening/early morning times. If the Developer required work time exceeds
the two hour maintenance window, then Developer shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to provide Nextel Partners seven days prior notice by email
to ▇▇▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.
Developer is responsible for 365 x 7 x 24 monitoring of Developer Application
and taking immediate action to resolve any application issues.
III. TROUBLE IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION Process
NOTIFICATIONS/ALERTS
During the course of normal operations, service impairments (e.g. slow response,
partial service outage) may occur. Nextel Partners requires the Developer to
notify the Nextel Network Operations Center (NOC) and Nextel Partners of any
observed impairment immediately so that joint investigation and trouble
determination may occur. Immediate telephone notification to ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇
(NOC) as well as electronic mail to ▇▇▇▇▇▇_▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ and
▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ is required. Developer requires Nextel Partners
to notify the Developer Contact at ▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇.▇▇▇ for operational issues of
any observed impairment immediately so that joint investigation and trouble
determination may occur. The parties recognize that operation issues of observed
impairment may be visible first to Nextel and may not be visible immediately to
Nextel Partners. Details of the impairment should be provided (e.g. service
affected, extent of impairment, contact for joint troubleshooting, etc.) by the
party providing notice under this paragraph.
GOAL OF THE TROUBLE IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION PROCESS
The goal of the trouble identification and resolution process is to resolve all
service problems (a) before they are seen by a subscriber or (b) as quickly and
efficiently as possible once reported by a subscriber. To this end, monitoring
and surveillance as well as troubleshooting and issue determination and analysis
are key to success. Coordination of activities between Nextel Partners and the
Developer is essential.
PRIORITY ASSIGNMENTS AND RESOLUTION INTERVALS
To ensure a concerted and coordinated resolution effort, agreement on the
priority and the target resolution interval is needed. The following tables list
this framework.
15
PRIORITY CRITERIA AND EXAMPLES
-------- ---------------------
Criteria:
High - The Application is not delivering the functionality documented
in Exhibit A to a cross-section of subscribers. A hosting or
software issue is judged to be the cause of the service
interruption.
- Developer supplied, applications administration tools are not
available or operational. Customer status and configuration
issues can not be resolved.
Criteria:
Medium - Obvious and significant service degradation to previously
experienced Application performance.
- Flaw in administration tool that is causing significant loss
of functionality and no clear workaround is immediately
available.
Criterion:
Low - Problem with the Developer application that is inconvenient
but can be worked around with minimal disruption to the
subscriber's activity and results in minimal usage reduction.
PRIORITY INITIAL RESPONSE UPDATE INTERVAL RESOLUTION GOAL
-------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------
High 60 minutes or less Every 120 minutes 4 hours
Medium 120 minutes or less Every 4 hours 8 hours
Low 2 business day or less Weekly 1 week or less
MANAGEMENT NOTIFICATION PROTOCOL
If trouble resolution goals are exceeded, Nextel Partners technical operations
supervisors will provide advisories to Nextel Partners Senior Management as
outlined below. It is expected that the Developer will implement a similar
notification process to their management team. This will allow maximum
situational awareness of key issues and allow coordinated communications and
resolution efforts.

IV. DEVELOPER CUSTOMER CARE PROCESS
Developer provides customer Support M-F 5 a.m. - 5 p.m. Pacific Time and
Saturday 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. Pacific Time. After hours 7x24 coverage for phone
inquiries is available via the toll free number. The Nextel/Nextel Partners
customer has an option via the IVR to opt out and leave a
17
message which in turn pages an on call customer service representative directly.
Customers contact Developer via phone or email. Contacts are logged in an Oracle
database. Developer may duplicate the customer's issue in order to verify the
problem and advise the customer appropriately. Each issue is recorded in
Developer's database with a case #. All cases are assigned a case status which
reflects where it is in the resolution process. Technicians have access to
senior staff members to help drive resolution or escalate more difficult
problems. Some cases require a physical inspection/servicing of the hardware by
a Developer-certified installer before final resolution can be made. Should a
problem require hardware replacement Developer will dispatch a
Developer-certified installer to the customer's location. Developer-certified
installer carry van stock of certain components that enable the Application. Any
components needed that are not carried by a Developer-certified installer will
be shipped to the customer's location. Developer-certified installers will not
carry van stock of Nextel Partners phones for customer replacement purposes nor
will Developer ship Nextel Partners phones to customers.
All suspected bugs are run through a central point in the customer satisfaction
department before going to the Developer operations department for further
investigation and verification. Bugs which are not resolved by the operations
department are assigned to software development department with a priority level
for resolution. Developer conducts a weekly cross functional meeting among
quality assurance, software development, operations and customer satisfaction
departments to discuss and resolve open issues.
Notwithstanding Section 11(e) of the Agreement, Application customers may be
contacted unsolicited to permit Developer to conduct customer satisfaction and
technical and market research or testing.
V. NEXTEL PARTNERS/DEVELOPER ESCALATION CONTACT INFORMATION
The following table lists the points of contact for consultation and escalation

VI. OPEN ISSUES LIST AND REPORTING
There are two types of monthly Developer reporting that will be required:
operational and customer care.
OPERATIONAL REPORTING
The Developer will provide monthly reports, within thirty (30) days of the end
of each month, to Nextel Partners at the first notice address listed in the
Agreement on the status of all issues reported to Developer by Nextel Partners.
This report will contain the date that the issue was opened, a summary of the
issue, the current issue status and, if resolved, the date and description of
the resolution.
CUSTOMER CARE REPORTING
A monthly report, within thirty (30) days of the end of each month, containing
the following information will be provided by the Developer:
- Number and type of customer care calls received each month from Nextel
Partners customers
- Summary information on problems found and resolution
- Total number of unresolved issues involving Nextel Partners customers
- Date unresolved cases were opened and its current status
VII. APPLICATIONS PERFORMANCE VALIDATION AND CHANGE CONTROL
OBJECTIVES OF THE APPLICATIONS PERFORMANCE VALIDATION AND CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS
The objectives of the Applications Performance Validation and Change Control
Process are, in general, to assure that all applications meet, and continue to
meet, customer expectation for performance and feature functionality. This
process defines the series of subprocesses required to assure application
performance and system-level compatibility throughout the application and
19
supporting systems life cycle. These subprocesses and the associated
responsibilities are discussed below.
CHANGE NOTIFICATION
Nextel Partners must be notified of planned application, communications and
hosting/platform related changes, maintenance and upgrades, which materially
affect, in the reasonable discretion of Developer, the transmission of data
between the Developer network and the Nextel and Nextel Partners network.
Notification will be made by means of a mutually agreed format and single point
of contact thirty (30) days prior to the change. Where notification cannot be
made in the requisite time frame notification will be made at the earliest
possible date.
To the extent that upgrade and change of control information has not already
been provided to Developer by Nextel, Nextel Partners will provide Network
upgrade and change control information and information regarding changes to
Nextel Partners handsets which can function with the Application to Developer by
means of a mutually agreed format. This will allow Nextel Partners and Developer
to complete analysis and testing, if required, to confirm continued Application
operation.
The parties recognize and agree that the following processes (AV&V, Application
Change Process and Platform and Communications Change Process) will be performed
with Nextel. To the extent that Nextel is satisfied with these processes,
Developer may assume that Nextel Partners is satisfied; provided however,
Developer must keep Nextel Partners notified of any significant issue or
developments; and, provided further that Developer must obtain Nextel Partners'
prior written approval of any new release, modification, change, upgrade,
downgrade or other similar issue that will involve any material change to Nextel
Partners operations.
APPLICATION VALIDATION & VERIFICATION (AV&V)
The goal of the AV&V process is to capture and/or quantify functional and
performance issues and/or metrics related to an integrated application or
service offering prior to commercial launch or cutover. Qualifying activities
include:
- Applications not previously employed with Nextel general service
offerings,
- Major software releases/upgrades associated with applications actively
available as a part of Nextel general service offering,
- Point releases/upgrades associated with applications actively available as
a part of Nextel general service offering,
- Bug fixes or patches to be applied to actively available applications, any
upgrades or modifications to the applications hardware or software
platform, and
- Any modification, upgrades or changes to the communications (WAN)
component of the applications offering.
The information captured during the testing stage of this process is
disseminated to the various responsible constituencies within Nextel for the
general purposes of Care and Network Planning. Nextel and the Developer will
cooperate to assure that testing occurs on a release version of the software,
platform, and communications environment prior to commercial release or cutover.
20
APPLICATION CHANGE PROCESS
For each planned major or point software release, an open problem list of key
critical issues should be maintained by the Developer. This list must be made
available to Nextel, in a format determined by Developer, as part of the
Application Validation and Verification (AV&V) process.
Major Release and Point Release
Nextel will be notified of all software major releases, and software point
releases, relating to the Application sixty (60) days prior to commercial
release. Major releases will be submitted to Nextel AV&V process, through the
defined Nextel point-of-contact (POC), employing the existing Nextel
documentation and request forms. AV&V Requests submitted for major software
releases and point releases, will detail all new feature functionality,
interoperability, performance changes associated with the major release, and a
summary of the Developer's test(s) which demonstrate that the release functions
properly on the Nextel System. All new software releases relating to the
Application must be backward compatible, except, in certain cases where prior
written consent has been obtained from Nextel.
Patches and Fixes
Recognizing the unpredictable nature of bug fixes and patch releases, Nextel
will be notified of any such changes to the Application which have a material
impact on the Application, as determined by Developer, at the earliest
commercially reasonable date prior to commercial release. Bug fixes and patch
releases will be submitted to Nextel AV&V process, through the defined Nextel
POC, employing the existing Nextel documentation and request forms. AV&V
Requests submitted for bug fixes and patch releases will detail the fix and any
software functionality, interoperability and performance implications, and a
summary of the Developer's test(s) which demonstrate that the release functions
properly on the Nextel System.
PLATFORM AND COMMUNICATIONS CHANGE PROCESS
System Upgrades and Changes
Nextel will be notified of any planned application platform and communications
systems upgrades relating to the Application, which have a material impact on
the Application sixty (60) days prior to commercial cutover. Material planned
system upgrades and changes will be submitted to Nextel AV&V process, through
the defined Nextel POC, employing the existing Nextel documentation and request
forms. AV&V Requests submitted for upgrades and changes will detail the upgrade
and/or change any functionality, interoperability and performance implications.
Maintenance
Nextel's NOC will be notified of all planned and/or unplanned maintenance or
changes as described in the "Notifications/Alerts" section of this document.
21
REVIEW
Upon reasonable request Developer agrees to meet with Nextel Partners by phone
or in person at a time and place mutually agreeable to the parties to review
reports and the parties' performance under this Service Level Agreement. No more
than one such meeting shall occur per calendar quarter unless otherwise agreed
to by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer and Nextel Partners
agree to meet by phone or in person at a time and place mutually agreeable to
the parties thirty (30) days prior to contract renewal to review their
performance under this Service Level Agreement.
APPLICATION UPGRADE ROADMAP
A 6-month plan of key Application enhancements will be maintained jointly by the
Developer and Nextel Partners. This roadmap will be updated on a quarterly basis
and is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. The parties shall
designate a point-of-contact for such roadmap within thirty (30) days of the
effective date of the Agreement.

I. INTRODUCTION
The following are a list of activities that both parties may agree to pursue in
order to increase sales of Developer's Application and Nextel Partners' phones
and service. These activities will commence on or after the launch date agreed
to by both parties.
Nextel Partners may market the Application to both its existing and prospective
customers, either directly or through indirect authorized representatives who
are mutually agreeable to the parties when dealing with indirect agents. In
connection therewith, Nextel Partners may include the tagline "Powered by
Nextel" in all marketing materials related to the Application. Nextel Partners
may also promote the Application through customer newsletters, direct mail,
advertising, trade shows, and through its web site.
Except as noted below, Developer may elect, at its discretion and cost, to
promote the Application in general at any time, without reference to Nextel
Partners.
Developer will make available to Nextel Partners sales personnel any sales
support tools currently available or developed in the future by Developer, at
the consent of Developer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, each party shall bear its own
costs for the marketing activities which such party conducts.
II. PUBLIC RELATIONS
a. Subject to approval of content by the other party, Developer shall be
permitted to issue a press release announcing the existence of this
Agreement after commercial availability of the Application, and Nextel
Partners shall be permitted to issue an individual press release and/or a
collective press release with respect to its overall Nextel Online
Internet Services, including a reference to its arrangement with Developer
pursuant to this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither
party shall issue any press release or distribute any promotional
materials concerning this Agreement, the subject matter hereof, the
business relationship set forth herein, or containing the name, logos,
trademarks or other intellectual property of the other party without the
prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the foregoing
will not restrict either party from making press releases about their
respective products and services that do not include a reference to the
other party.
b. Success stories. Developer agrees to identify satisfied customers and work
with Nextel Partners to provide references, application descriptions of
the satisfied customers, and seek promotional opportunities related to
customer success stories.
26
III. DIRECT MAIL
Direct Mail - Each Party to Own Customer Base. Both Nextel Partners and
Developer may, at any time and at their own expense, conduct a direct mail
campaign to their own customer base and/or a sub-set of their customer base
highlighting the relationship between the two companies. Direct mail materials
to be included in such a mailing must be reviewed and approved by the other
party prior to printing and mailing.
IV. DEVELOPER ON NEXTEL PARTNERS' WEB SITE
Developer may be listed on Nextel Partners' web sites at Nextel Partners sole
and absolute discretion.
Developer will be listed on any appropriate Nextel Partners web site designed to
announce, explain or promote partnerships, if such listing is created.
VI. APPLICATION DOCUMENTATION
Developer may utilize Nextel Partners written and approved documentation in
Developer's user guide or web-based user documentation. Developer is required to
submit all documentation that mentions Nextel Partners' name or service to
Nextel Partners for review and approval, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
VII. CUSTOMER TRAINING
Developer will bear the cost and responsibility of training customers on
Developer's product or service. Nextel Partners will bear the cost and
responsibility of training customers on the Nextel Partners phone and service.
VIII. SALES ACTIVITIES/SUPPORT
a. Collateral distribution to Nextel Partners Sales channels. Developer will
make collateral materials available to Nextel Partners' distribution
channels, both direct and indirect. Collateral material to be provided
should include, but not be limited to:
- Customer profile. Description of target customer by market, job
function, demographic or appropriate definition. Description of
customer needs that are filled by Developer product.
- Sales Bulletin. Description of Developer product or service and how it
solves the customers' needs.
Nextel Partners would prefer for Developer to take advantage of Nextel
Partners' third-party collateral distribution system, which supports
web-based ordering of collateral materials by Nextel Partners
representatives. If Developer chooses to utilize Nextel Partners'
collateral distribution system, Developer will bear both the collateral
expense (cost to design, produce
27
and print) as well as distribution fees imposed by Nextel Partners'
collateral distribution vendor. Nextel Partners agrees, in good faith, to
request that Nextel Partners pricing for this service be extended to
Developer, but cannot guarantee that the third-party collateral
distributor will honor this request.
Should Developer decide not to take advantage of Nextel Partners
third-party collateral distribution system, Developer agrees to develop a
collateral distribution process which will ensure simplified ordering and
prompt delivery of requested collateral items to Nextel Partners'
distribution channels.
b. Electronic Sales Aids. Developer will make the following electronic sales
tools available for distribution to Nextel Partners distribution channels
through Nextel Partners' intranet distribution support web sites:

three ways:
- electronically (i.e. by e-mail), or
- via an inbound telephone number, or
- at Nextel Partners' sole discretion, through a centralized point (such as a
password protected web site) where Nextel Partners sales reps can submit
leads to all Developers.
Nextel Partners, at its sole discretion will determine the distribution method
for sales leads provided to Developer. It is the responsibility of the Developer
to provide Nextel Partners with an e-mail address for lead submissions and to
provide updates to this e-mail address as needed. If Developer is unable to
receive leads electronically, Developer must provide Nextel Partners with a
single telephone number (preferably toll-free) at which Nextel Partners will
leave sales lead information. It is the responsibility of Developer to update
Nextel Partners with any changes to this telephone number. Periodically, Nextel
Partners may solicit Developer for a status of the leads that were received from
Nextel Partners as identified in Exhibit D.
Developer will provide to Nextel Partners their lead submission e-mail address
or their inbound lead telephone number prior to controlled availability of the
service.
Developer Sending Leads to Nextel Partners
Developer may submit leads to the following email address:
▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇
28
Nextel Partners will provide required content for sales leads received from
Developer. Minimum content will include Developer Salesperson name and phone
number, customer name, company name, and pertinent contact information. If
Developer salesperson would prefer to be contacted prior to the customer being
contacted, this should clearly be stated on the lead provided to Nextel
Partners. Developer will be required to provide some customer specific
information to allow for accurate lead status tracking. Nextel Partners may, at
its sole discretion, change the required content for sales leads from time to
time.
Both parties agree to make every effort to respond to every sales lead provided
by the other party within two (2) business days of receipt of the lead. Response
will be in the form of e-mail, phone call or visit to the Sales Prospect/or
referring company's salesperson (whichever is specified in the submitted lead).
When a sales lead is provided, the party receiving the lead will contact the
Sales Prospect and evaluate whether their Application or Service meets the
customer's needs. Party receiving the sales lead will provide the Sales Prospect
with a demonstration or appropriate evaluation method. During this demonstration
or evaluation, a party receiving the lead agrees to present to the Sales
Prospect information about the Application or Service of the party who provided
the lead.
Both parties acknowledge that the Sales Prospect has the ultimate purchasing
decision, and may choose a different Application or wireless Service to support
their business needs. Both parties acknowledge that nothing herein shall
obligate or require the other to do business with a Sales Prospect if the other
party desires not to deal with such Sales Prospect for any reason whatsoever; in
such instances the party receiving the lead must inform the other party within
two (2) business days that they will not respond to the lead. Neither party
shall have any right to bind the other party to make a sale.
X. PREFERRED CARRIER FOR CUSTOMER TRIAL
Developer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to use Nextel Partners as
the preferred wireless service provider in a variety of business, vertical, and
consumer markets within Nextel Partners markets.
