EXHIBIT 10.30
THE TERMS OF THIS ADDENDUM ARE PROPRIETARY TO OPTICOM AND ARE
SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT SET FORTH IN THE OPERATOR
SERVICES AGREEMENT IDENTIFIED BELOW
THIS ADDENDUM MAY NOT BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED (OR ANY PART
DELETED OR ADDED TO) WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF OPTICOM'S
GENERAL COUNSEL OBTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF
THE OPERATOR SERVICES AGREEMENT IDENTIFIED BELOW
INTERNATIONAL SERVICES ADDENDUM TO OPERATOR SERVICES AGREEMENT
Opticom and the undersigned Customer agree that this Addendum shall
modify and supplement the Operator Services Agreement ("Operator Services
Agreement") between ONE CALL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. ("Opticom") and PHONETEL
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("Customer") dated January 21, 2000.
1. International Services. Customer hereby requests that Opticom
provide international operator long distance services ("International Services")
for those Locations (ANI's) of Customer which Customer designates in writing,
from time to time. Opticom agrees to provide International Services for such
Locations designated in writing by Customer but only upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Addendum which shall supersede any provisions to
the contrary contained in the Operator Services Agreement and the exhibits
thereto. Customer may, from time to time, in writing, add and delete Locations
which are to be provided with International Services.
2. Fraudulent International Services Calls. Opticom will utilize its
existing standard verification procedures and contractors to verify the validity
of calling cards and credit cards (collectively "Cards") utilized by an
International Services user and will otherwise utilize standard verification
procedures for International Services calls, but Customer and Opticom
acknowledge and agree that (i) as to Cards, such verification procedures are
only effective if a Card has been reported lost or stolen or if a Card has
otherwise been revoked or terminated and (ii) a person can utilize unreported
lost or stolen Cards or illicitly obtained data for a Card which has not been
lost or stolen and to otherwise use improper procedures to fraudulently obtain
International Services for which the call charges are uncollectible. The parties
further acknowledge that uncollectible telephone charges for fraudulently
obtained International Services can be very substantial and material in both
amount and volume and that the carrier charges incurred by Opticom to complete
such calls can be substantial in amount.
3. Customer to Bear Risk of Fraudulent International Services Calls. In
consideration of Opticom providing International Services for Customer's
Locations, Customer agrees to be totally responsible and to assume all economic
risks for carrier charges incurred by Opticom for fraudulently obtained
International Services placed from Customer's Locations. Customer shall
reimburse Opticom for Opticom's carrier costs for such fraudulent International
Services calls at rate of _____________________________ per minute of use of
such calls, the minutes of use for
2
such calls to be determined from Opticom's recorded minutes of use for such
calls. In addition, if Opticom has paid to Customer commissions and additional
surcharges on such fraudulent International Services calls, Customer shall
refund such commissions and additional surcharges to Opticom, it being agreed
that no commission and additional surcharge shall be payable to Customer for or
on such fraudulent International Services calls. The parties agree that the
uniform deduction for write-offs ("Bad Debt") for operator services xxxxxxxx
which is provided for by Customer's Operator Services Agreement used to
determine Adjusted Xxxxxxxx shall not limit Customer's liability under this
Addendum for fraudulent International Services calls. Opticom may deduct all
sums owing by Customer to Opticom pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Addendum from commissions payable by Opticom to Customer pursuant to the
Operator Services Agreement.
4. Commissions. Opticom agrees to pay to Customer commissions for all
International Services calls which will be a percentage of Opticom's Adjusted
Xxxxxxxx for International Services calls placed from Customer's designated
Locations at a rate of ____________________________, subject, however, to the
terms and provisions of this Addendum. Adjusted Xxxxxxxx for International
Services are to be computed in the manner specified in Customer's Operator
Services Agreement.
5. No International Direct Dial. Opticom agrees to program all of its
switches to block international direct dial long distance service from all of
Customers Locations which are subject to the Operator Services Agreement.
6. No Other Changes. Except as herein modified and amended, all other
terms and provisions of the Operator Services Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.
7. Headings and Titles. The headings and titles in this Addendum are
for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to define or limit
any of the terms herein or affect the meanings or interpretations of this
Addendum.
8. Defined Terms. All defined words and terms contained in the Operator
Service Agreement which are utilized in this Addendum shall have the same
meanings in this Addendum as in the Operator Service Agreement unless the
context of this Addendum requires otherwise.
9. Entire Agreement. This Addendum represents the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and all prior and concurrent agreements, understandings, representations with
respect to such subject matter, whether written or oral, are and have been
merged herein and superseded hereby.
10. Execution; Counterparts; Facsimile Delivery. This Addendum may be
executed by each of the parties in counterparts, and, if it is, each counterpart
shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but the two counterparts together
shall constitute only one Addendum. This Addendum will be deemed fully executed
by both parties if the counterparts, taken together, bear the signatures of duly
authorized representatives of each of the parties. A copy of this Addendum
showing the signature of the other party's authorized representative which is
received by a party by means of an electronic or facsimile telephonic
transmission initiated or made by the other party shall be binding upon the
other party and shall constitute delivery of this Addendum by such other party
for all purposes. The exchange by the parties of duly signed copies of this
Addendum transmitted by such parties to each other by means of electronic or
facsimile telephonic transmissions shall result in a legally enforceable
contract binding upon both parties.
