(a) all liabilities and obligations of Seller arising and accruing (i) under the Seller Agreements after the Closing Date and (ii) under each of the Included Standalone Customer Contracts after the date of the assignment of such contract, in each case, except to the extent such liabilities and obligations, but for a breach or default by Seller, would have been paid, performed or otherwise discharged on or prior to such date or to the extent the same arise out of any such breach or default;

(b) all liabilities in respect of Taxes for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 8.2; and

All of the foregoing liabilities and obligations to be assumed by Buyer hereunder (excluding any Excluded Liabilities) are referred to herein as the “Assumed Liabilities.”

2.4. Excluded Liabilities. Buyer shall not assume or be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any liability or obligation of Seller, direct or indirect, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, not specifically and expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to the Instrument of Assumption (all such liabilities and obligations not being specifically and expressly assumed being herein called the “Excluded Liabilities”) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.3, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall be Assumed Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement:

(a) any liabilities in respect of Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 8.2;

(b) any payables and other liabilities or obligations of Seller with respect to the Business to any other business unit of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates;

2.5. Transfer of Included Customer Contracts.

(a) Unless waived by Buyer, Seller covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to, on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, obtain written, unconditional and irrevocable consents from all parties to such contracts from whom such consent is required to the assignment to the Buyer of the Included Standalone Customer Contracts (each a “Third Party Consent”). Such customer contracts requiring a Third Party

Consent are referred to as “Consent Required Contracts.” For the avoidance of doubt, Seller will not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 2.5(a) by reason of failure to obtain all Third Party Consents on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date except to the extent such failure was the result of Seller’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents by such date.

(b) Seller and its Affiliates shall assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume from Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, each and every Included Standalone Customer Contract (i) upon Buyer’s request following the transition of certain customer billing functions in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, with respect to any Included Standalone Customer Contract other than Consent Required Contracts; or (ii) as of the later of the first business day after Seller receives all applicable Third Party Consents and Buyer’s request following the transition of the customer billing functions in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, with respect to any Consent Required Contract. With respect to the foregoing, Buyer shall make any such request as soon as reasonably practicable following the transition of such billing functions in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement and, in any event, prior to the expiration thereof. On the date that an Included Standalone Customer Contract is assigned to and assumed by Buyer, it shall be and become an “Assumed Customer Contract” and prior to that time it shall be referred to as a “Provisional Customer Contract”. Seller and its Affiliates and Buyer agree that Buyer and its Affiliates are not assuming and will not assume any liabilities or obligations arising or accruing under an Included Standalone Customer Contract prior to such Included Standalone Customer Contract becoming an Assumed Customer Contract; it being understood that Buyer shall perform the conferencing services under such contracts, as a subcontractor of Seller, in accordance with Section 2.5(e). Prior to the assignment of a Provisional Customer Contract, Seller shall provide Buyer with a complete and correct copy of such contract if a written contract exists and, with respect to agreements and arrangements other than written contracts, shall provide Buyer with a description of any terms relating to the provision of the applicable Conferencing Services in Seller’s possession. Following Buyer’s review of any such written contract, Buyer shall have the option to designate any such contract as an Excluded Asset in the event that such contract contains any most favored nation, exclusivity or noncompetition provisions that would bind Buyer following the assumption thereof; it being understood that, notwithstanding such designation, (i) Buyer shall perform the Conferencing Services for the customer that is a party to such contract in accordance with Section 2.5(e) until such contract expires or is terminated, and (ii) Buyer shall continue to be paid in accordance with Section 2.5(d) and Seller shall continue to be paid in accordance with Section 3.2.

(c) With respect to each Bundled Customer Contract, after the Closing, Seller and Buyer covenant and agree to cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts (as more fully described on Schedule 2.5(c) and upon Buyer’s request following the transition of the customer billing functions in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement) to, on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) allow Buyer to enter into a separate agreement with each customer under a Bundled Customer Contract solely with respect to the Business and on terms and conditions substantially similar to those contained in the Bundled Customer Contract and (ii) obtain a full release of all of Seller’s (and its Affiliates’) ongoing duties and obligations under such Bundled Customer Contract with respect to the Business, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer (collectively, a

“Separate Agreement and Release”). Seller and Buyer agree that Buyer and its Affiliates are not assuming and will not assume any liabilities or obligations arising or accruing under a Bundled Customer Contract; it being understood that Buyer shall perform the Conferencing Services under such contract in accordance with Section 2.5(e) and that Buyer shall only be responsible for any liabilities or obligations to which it agrees in the Separate Agreement and Release. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller will not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 2.5(c) by reason of failure to obtain a Separate Agreement and Release for each Bundled Customer Contract on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date except to the extent such failure was the result of Seller’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Separate Agreement and Release by such date.

(d) Seller and its Affiliates shall exercise or exploit their rights and options under the Provisional Customer Contracts only as reasonably directed by Buyer. Seller and its Affiliates may exercise their rights and perform their obligations under the Bundled Customer Contracts in their sole discretion; provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates shall exercise or exploit any right or option under such contracts dealing exclusively with Conferencing Services only as reasonably directed by Buyer (it being understood that Seller shall not amend or waive any portion of a Bundled Customer Contract in a manner that affects the term, pricing (including customer credits) or service level commitments for Conferencing Services without Buyer’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In accordance with Section 2.1(e), Seller shall pay to Buyer (subject to Section 3.2) amounts equal to all Collectible Revenue billed by Seller with respect to Conferencing Services provided after the Closing Date, so as to provide the economic effect as if all Provisional Customer Contracts and the portions of Bundled Customer Contracts relating to the Business had been assigned to Buyer on the Closing Date. Seller shall make such payments of Collectible Revenue billed during each month no later than the 30^th day of the immediately following month. This Section 2.5(d) shall continue to apply to each Provisional Customer Contract until the contract becomes an Assumed Customer Contract or is terminated or expires and to each Bundled Customer Contract until the execution and delivery of a Separate Agreement and Release or the contract is terminated or expires.

(e) Buyer shall provide Conferencing Services to customers under the Provisional Customer Contracts and Bundled Customer Contracts in accordance with the service levels set forth in Schedule 2.5(e); provided that Buyer shall not be responsible for (i) any matter related to the Business that existed or arose from circumstances that existed prior to the Closing or (ii) any matter arising as a result of a failure by Seller or any of its Affiliates to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent the terms of any Included Customer Contract require the consent of any party (other than Seller) as a condition to assignment, this Agreement shall not constitute a breach thereof or create rights in others not desired by the Buyer. In the event that a customer is a party to a Consent Required Contract and does not consent to the assignment of such contract to Buyer or is a party to an Bundled Customer Contract and does not execute and deliver a Separate Agreement and Release, in each case, on or before the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and the termination of the Sales and Marketing Agreement (the “Transition Deadline”), neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall renew any Consent Required Contract or any Bundled Customer Contract (solely with respect to Conferencing Services; it being understood that Seller or any of

its Affiliates may renew any formerly Bundled Customer Contract, or enter into any new customer contract, that does not contain Conferencing Services) upon its expiration after the Transition Deadline and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall directly or indirectly solicit or provide (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, reseller, partner or otherwise) Conferencing Services for such customer during the six months immediately following such expiration; it being understood that Seller may offer such customer an agreement with Buyer for the provision of Conferencing Services upon such expiration or during such six months period in accordance with the terms of the Sales and Marketing Agreement.

(g) The customer contracts to which any agency of the federal government is a party (including the FTS2001 contract) will be governed by the terms of the Master Services Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

As an inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

5.1. Organization and Size of Seller.

(a) Seller is a limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Seller is duly qualified to transact business as a limited partnership and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which such qualification is required in connection with Seller’s ownership or leasing of the Purchased Assets or its conduct of the Business. Seller has full power and authority to own or lease and to operate and use the Purchased Assets and to carry on the Business as now conducted.

(b) All of the ownership interests of Seller are owned, directly or indirectly, 100% by Sprint of record and beneficially. There are no agreements, arrangements, options, warrants, calls, rights or commitments of any character relating to the issuance, sale, purchase or redemption of any partnership interests in Seller other than with Sprint or one of its Affiliates. Seller’s financial information as set forth on Schedule 5.1(b) is true and correct.

5.2. Operation of the Business.

(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.2, the Business is conducted solely by, and the Purchased Assets are directly owned and controlled solely by, Seller.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Sprint Solutions, rather than Seller, is the “Sprint party” that executed certain of the Included Customer Contracts. Sprint Solutions generally executed such contracts as a signing agent on behalf of Seller and other Affiliates of Sprint that were separately responsible and obligated for performance of Conferencing Services and other telecommunications-related services under Bundled Customer Contracts. Sprint Solutions executed these contracts on behalf of the various applicable Affiliates of Sprint in order to avoid the necessity of multiple Sprint signatories. All representations, warranties and covenants of Seller in this Agreement in respect of the Included Customer Contracts apply equally to those contracts executed by Sprint Solutions, and references to “Seller” in the context of the party to an Included Customer Contract shall be deemed to also include Sprint Solutions.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, SUMAC, rather than Seller, is the “Sprint party” that executed certain of the Seller Agreements. All representations, warranties and covenants of Seller in this Agreement in respect of the Seller Agreements apply equally to those contracts executed by SUMAC, and references to “Seller” in the context of the party to a Seller Agreement shall be deemed to also include SUMAC.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, US Telcom, rather than Seller, is the “Sprint party” that executed certain of the leases underlying the Leased Real Property. All representations, warranties and covenants of Seller in this Agreement in respect of such leases apply equally to those leases executed by US Telcom, and references to “Seller” in the context of the party to such a lease shall be deemed to also include US Telcom.

5.3. Authority of Seller.

(a) Seller and Sprint have full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and, in the case of Seller, all of the Seller Ancillary Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and, in the case of Seller, the Seller Ancillary Agreements by Seller and Sprint have been duly authorized and approved by Seller’s general partner or other authorized person and do not require any further authorization or consent of Seller, its partners or any Affiliates or Sprint, its stockholders or any Affiliates. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and Sprint and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller and Sprint enforceable in accordance with its terms, and each of the Seller Ancillary Agreements has been duly authorized by Seller and upon execution and delivery by Seller will be a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.3(b), neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or, in the case of Seller, any of the Seller Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby nor compliance with or fulfillment of the terms, conditions and provisions hereof or thereof will:

(i) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon any of the Purchased Assets; or

(ii) conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default, an event of default or an event creating rights of acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of rights under (A) the certificate of limited partnership, limited partnership agreement or other organizational document of Seller or the charter or by-laws of Sprint, (B) any Seller Agreement, (C) any other material note, instrument, agreement, mortgage, lease, license, franchise, permit or other authorization, right, restriction or obligation to which Seller or Sprint is a party or any of the Purchased Assets is subject or by which Seller or Sprint is bound (other than Included Customer Contracts), (D) any Court Order to which Seller or Sprint is a party or any of the Purchased Assets is subject or by which Seller or Sprint is bound, or (E) any Requirements of Laws affecting Seller, Sprint, the Purchased Assets or the Business; or

(iii) require the approval, consent, authorization or act of, or the making by Seller or Sprint of any declaration, filing or registration with, any Governmental Body (including, without limitation, any approval, consent, or authorization by any regulatory body with respect to any customer transfers), except as provided under the HSR Act.

(c) Seller has not received a second request or other notification from the FTC or the Antitrust Division with respect to the notifications and other information filed by it under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. All such filings by Seller were, as of the date filed, true and accurate and in accordance with the requirements of the HSR Act.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.3(d), with respect to the Included Customer Contracts for Payment Eligible Customers only, the provision of Conferencing Services by Buyer under such contracts as contemplated by Section 2.5 will not conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default, an event of default or an event creating rights of acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of rights under any such contract.

(c) There is no significant deficiency or material weakness in any of Seller’s financial controls with respect to the Business that would cause the statements of income or the schedule set forth in Schedule 5.4 to not reflect in all material respects the results of operations of the Business for the periods covered thereby.

5.5. Operations Since January 1, 2005.

(C) none of Sprint, Seller or its Affiliates shall directly or indirectly solicit (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, reseller, partner or otherwise) or provide Conferencing Services for any customer that is a party to a Provisional Customer Contract or Bundled Customer Contract that has not yet executed and delivered a Separate Agreement and Release until such Provisional Customer Contract is assigned or such customer executes and delivers a Separate Agreement and Release; provided that for any Provisional Customer Contract that is never assigned or any Bundled Customer Contract for which a Separate Agreement and Release is never executed and delivered, none of Sprint, Seller or its Affiliates (subject to any existing obligations of a Person that becomes an Affiliate of Seller as a result of the Non-Material Acquisition) shall directly or indirectly solicit (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, reseller, partner or otherwise) or provide Conferencing Services for the customer that is a party to such contract for a period of one year following the termination or expiration of such contract (or the Conferencing Services portion thereof, if applicable); it being understood that Seller may offer such customer an agreement with Buyer for the provision of Conferencing Services upon such termination or expiration or during such one year period in accordance with the terms of the Sales and Marketing Agreement (it being understood further that the “Agency Fee” payments to Seller pursuant to the Sales and Marketing Agreement shall not apply to such offered contract); it being further understood that, notwithstanding

the foregoing, at all times following such transaction, each Person that becomes an Affiliate of Seller as a result of such transaction shall be permitted to perform or otherwise discharge its contractual or other legal obligations or commitments, whether related to Conferencing Services or otherwise, existing as of the time of the Non-Material Acquisition; and Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted to perform or otherwise discharge any such contractual or other legal obligations or commitments, whether related to Conferencing Services or otherwise, that were assumed or otherwise incurred by Seller or its Affiliates as a result of such Non-Material Acquisition; and

(D) Buyer shall no longer be obligated to make the Customer payments to Seller pursuant to Section 3.2 with respect to Net Revenue generated after the Non-Material Acquisition;

(v) engaging in a Material Acquisition; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Material Acquisition during the Restricted Period:

(A) Seller shall notify Buyer in writing as soon as practicable (but in no event more than five (5) business days) following the consummation of a Material Acquisition;

(B) Seller shall, as soon as practicable, but in any event within one (1) year after the occurrence of the Material Acquisition, at Seller’s option, either (1) divest the Conferencing Services business acquired by Seller in such transaction (the “Acquired Business”) to a Person not an Affiliate of Seller, or (2) discontinue the operation of the Acquired Business;

(C) During the period pending the divestiture of the Acquired Business as described in subsection 8.1(b)(v)(B), Seller shall be permitted to continue to operate the Acquired Business in the ordinary course, provided that, during such period, none of Seller, Sprint nor any of their Affiliates may directly or indirectly solicit any customer that was a party to an Included Customer Contract for Conferencing Services or provide any Conferencing Services to such customers, in either case except to the extent required to perform or otherwise discharge any obligations or commitments to such customers existing at the time of the Material Acquisition;

(vi) Providing Conferencing Services solely to Seller, Sprint or any of their Affiliates; or

(vii) Consummating the Nextel Merger, and following such transaction, each Person that becomes an Affiliate of Seller as a result of such transaction shall be permitted to perform or otherwise discharge its contractual or other legal obligations or commitments, whether related to Conferencing Services or otherwise, existing as of the time of the Nextel Merger.

(c) Seller and Sprint covenant and agree that, from and after the Closing Date, they will not, and will not permit any of their Affiliates to, divulge or make use of any trade

secrets or other confidential information of the Conferencing Services business of Buyer other than to disclose such secrets and information to Buyer or its Affiliates.

(d) If Seller, Sprint or any Affiliate of Seller or Sprint violates any of its obligations under this Section 8.1, Buyer may proceed against it in law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Seller and Sprint acknowledge that a violation of this Section 8.1 may cause Buyer irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Seller and Sprint therefore agree that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 8.1, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against Seller, Sprint or such Affiliate of Seller or Sprint to prevent any violations of this Section 8.1, without the necessity of posting a bond. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer be entitled to restrain or enjoin any Change of Control of, or Material Acquisition or Non-Material Acquisition by, Seller, Sprint or any of their Affiliates. The prevailing party in any action commenced under this Section 8.1 shall also be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Section 8.1, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 8.1 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency.

8.2. Taxes.

(a) Seller covenants and agrees to pay, and pursuant to Article XI Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Group Member from and against any and all Losses and Expenses incurred by such Buyer Group Member in connection with or arising from any and all, Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, in each case attributable to taxable years or periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. Buyer covenants and agrees to pay, and pursuant to Article XI Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller Group Member from and against any and all Losses and Expenses incurred by such Seller Group Member in connection with or arising from any and all, Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities that are attributable to taxable years or periods beginning after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, that Buyer shall not be liable for any Taxes for which Seller is liable under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 8.2, any Straddle Period shall be treated on a “closing of the books” basis as two partial periods, one ending at the close of the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day after the Closing Date, except that Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a), Seller and Buyer shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of any and all Losses and Expenses incurred by either party in connection with or arising from any and all initial assessments of sales Tax, use Tax, real property transfer or gains Tax, documentary stamp Tax or similar Tax attributable to the sale or transfer of the Business,

the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. Any and all Losses and Expenses incurred by either party with respect to the assessments described in the preceding sentence in connection with or arising from any difference in valuation of tangible assets between the valuation to be set forth in Schedule 8.2(b) by Seller at Closing (which valuation shall be a reasonable estimate of the value of such tangible assets) and any valuation determined in any appraisal conducted by Buyer shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Seller agrees to prepare, and Buyer agrees to timely sign and deliver, any Tax Return required to be filed that is attributable to the sale or transfer of the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities and any certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) such Taxes.

(c) Seller shall timely file all property Tax Returns relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets with respect to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall timely file all property Tax Returns relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets with respect to periods beginning after the Closing Date. With respect to property Taxes relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets imposed with respect to a Straddle Period, Seller shall timely file property Tax Returns relating to such Taxes to the extent the due date for such property Tax Returns is on or prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall timely file property Tax Returns relating to such Taxes to the extent the due date for such property Tax Returns is after the Closing Date; provided, however that, in any case where the due date for such property Tax Return is within 30 days following the Closing Date, Seller shall file such property Tax Return unless and to the extent Buyer agrees in writing to do so. With respect to any Tax Returns relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets that are not described herein, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other to determine the party that shall prepare and file any such Tax Return.

(d) Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any Tax paid by one party all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other party in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.2. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any said Tax, the party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and the portion which is the liability of each party, although failure to do so will not relieve the other party from its liability hereunder.

(e) After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) assist and cooperate with each other in order to facilitate the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns, including without limitation making available to the other party relevant information, records and documents (including copies thereof) required in the preparation of such Tax Returns.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 8.2 shall be (i) subject to the Sales and Marketing Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement and (ii) unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.

8.3. Employees and Employee Benefit Plans. (a) Effective immediately after the Closing, Buyer shall make an offer of employment to each of the employees of Seller listed on Schedule 8.3 (the “Transferring Employees”), which offer shall be conditioned upon,

among other things, the execution of any agreements which Buyer requires of new employees as a condition of employment, including any confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, intellectual property or other similar agreement. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the Transferring Employees to become employees of Buyer on the Closing Date. For purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting under any employee benefit plan of Buyer, Transferring Employees who (i) become employees of Buyer and actually perform services for Buyer on the Closing Date or (ii) are on an approved paid leave of absence with Seller as of the Closing Date but commence active employment with Buyer or one of its Affiliates within twenty-six (26) weeks after the Closing Date shall receive service credit for service with Seller to the same extent such credit was granted under Seller’s comparable employee benefit plans. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of Buyer to continue the employment of any employee for any period following the Closing Date and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from altering, amending or terminating any of its employee benefit plans, or the participation of any of its employees in such plans, at any time.

(b) To the extent permitted therein, all Transferring Employees who are eligible to participate in Buyer’s employee benefit plans as of the Closing Date, taking into account any service credited pursuant to Section 8.3(a), shall commence such participation on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Closing Date. Seller will continue the following health and welfare plan coverage through the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs: Medical, Dental, Prescription Drug, Vision, Health Care Reimbursement Account, Dependent Day Care Reimbursement Account, Employee Life, Dependent Life, and AD&D. Coverage under the Short Term Disability, Basic and Supplemental Long Term Disability plans will terminate on the employee’s last day of active employment with Seller. To the extent permitted by Buyer’s medical plans, each Transferring Employee shall receive credit under such plans for all amounts paid during the current calendar year under Seller’s medical plans toward applicable deductible amounts and out-of-pocket maximums, provided that Buyer receives from the Transferring Employee all data required by Buyer as evidence of such paid amounts.

(c) With respect to each Transferring Employee, Seller shall retain the obligation and liability for any workers’ compensation or similar workers’ protection claims with respect to any such individual, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date which are the result of an injury or illness originating prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall retain, pay, perform and discharge, and Buyer shall not assume or be obligated to pay, perform or discharge, any liability or obligation under any employee benefit plan of either Seller or its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall honor all commitments made by Seller or any of its Affiliates to Transferring Employees with respect to (i) tuition assistance for any semester that has begun prior to the Closing Date (provided that the Transferring Employees meet the Educational Assistance Program guidelines, including without limitation submission dates and grades), and (ii) adoption assistance applied for prior to the Closing Date (provided that the Transferring Employees meet the Adoption Assistance Program Guidelines, including without limitation the requirement that the child be placed in the Transferring Employee’s home prior to the Closing Date).

(d) Subject to requirements of applicable law, Seller shall provide Buyer the most recent annual performance review and performance rating for each Transferring Employee, and available records related to any active FMLA leave request, including each Transferring Employee’s FMLA eligibility and hours available for use.

(e) Buyer shall have no liabilities: (i) related to the employees of Seller who do not become Transferring Employees; (ii) related to Transferring Employees to the extent such liability arises from any action, event or course of conduct prior to the date such Transferring Employee is hired by Buyer; or (iii) to the extent such liability arises under or relates to any Seller Plan.

(f) Buyer shall not have responsibility for any severance or termination pay obligations and damages for wrongful dismissal, including, without limitation, obligations arising under the common law, incurred with respect to any period of employment prior to the Closing Date or with respect to any termination of employment by or with Seller. Seller shall be solely responsible for any fees or other obligations under any agreement between Seller and any temporary employment agency. Buyer shall be solely responsible for entering into a separate contract with any temporary employment agency if Buyer determines that such contract services are desirable after the Closing.

(g) Seller shall be responsible for satisfying the “continuation coverage” requirements under Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and any applicable comparable state law (“COBRA Coverage”) with respect to each Transferring Employee, each employee of Seller who does not become a Transferring Employee (and any dependent) and each former employee of Seller (and any dependent) who is entitled to COBRA Coverage.

(h) Seller shall pay or cause to be paid from funds provided by it to each Transferring Employee, not later than the next regular payroll date following the Closing Date, any salary or wages which shall have accrued as of the Closing Date with respect to such employee. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid from funds provided by it to each Transferring Employee any bonus compensation accrued as of the Closing Date to which such employee may be entitled as a result of his or her participation in a bonus plan of Seller or its Affiliates, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plan (except that it shall not be a condition to such payment, or the accrual of the amount payable, that such employee remain an employee of Seller or its Affiliates after the Closing Date) and in the time frame normally called for by such plan.

(i) Seller shall comply with all notice and other requirements under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (the “WARN Act”) and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and any similar laws with respect to actions taken by Seller or its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date. In the event that, prior to the Closing Date, there is any employee employed by Seller with respect to the Business whose employment is terminated, whose work hours are reduced, who is laid off or who otherwise experiences an “employment loss,” within the meaning of the WARN Act (each, an “Affected Employee”), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of (i) each Affected Employee’s name, site of employment, date of employment loss and nature of employment loss and (ii) the total number of employees at each site of employment listed in response to clause (i) immediately prior to the ninety (90) day

period ending on the Closing Date. Seller shall provide such additional information, which shall be true and accurate in all respects, that is reasonably requested by Buyer with respect to current and former employees employed by Seller with respect to the Business, and shall, at Buyer’s request and in the manner reasonably directed by Buyer, provide, or assist Buyer in providing, notice to some or all employees employed by Seller with respect to the Business in accordance with the WARN Act.

(j) Seller and its Affiliates shall waive any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality and any other restrictions that would otherwise limit the scope of any Transferred Employee’s services to Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to Conferencing Services.

8.4. Intentionally Omitted.

8.5. Accounts Receivable. Subject and pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement and Section 2.5(d) hereof, if, on or after the Closing Date, Seller or any of its Affiliates shall receive any remittance from any account debtors with respect to the accounts receivable generated under any Included Customer Contracts that have been assigned to Buyer or otherwise in respect of the Purchased Assets after the Closing Date, Seller or such Affiliate shall forward it to Buyer immediately upon receipt thereof. If, on or after the Closing Date, Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall receive any remittance from any account debtors with respect to the accounts receivable generated under any Included Customer Contracts or otherwise in respect of the Business (or by any of Seller’s Affiliates) before the Closing Date, Buyer or such Buyer Affiliate shall forward it to Seller immediately upon receipt thereof.

8.6. Sprint Property. Except as expressly provided herein or in the Sales and Marketing Agreement, Buyer shall not use any intellectual property of Sprint, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (including without limitation the name “Sprint” or any trademarks or service marks of Sprint or any of its Affiliates) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation in any of Buyer’s promotional or marketing materials, without the prior written consent of an officer of Sprint.

8.7. Performance by Sprint Solutions. Sprint agrees to cause Sprint Solutions to take all such actions under this Agreement (including under Section 2.5) with respect to the Included Customer Contracts to which Sprint Solutions is a party as Seller has agreed to take with respect to the Included Customer Contracts. Sprint agrees to cause SUMAC to take all such actions under this Agreement with respect to the Seller Agreements to which SUMAC is a party as Seller has agreed to take with respect to the Seller Agreements.

8.8. License of Assigned Patent. Buyer hereby grants to Seller and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free and fully paid-up license in the United States to use in their respective businesses inventions claimed in U.S. Patent No. 5,530,472, which Patent is a Purchased Asset. The foregoing license is granted as an accommodation to Seller and its Affiliates on an “as-is” basis and is made without any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, each of which are hereby disclaimed. If requested by either Buyer or Seller, each of them agrees to enter into a stand-alone license agreement with customary terms reflecting the foregoing license.

11.3. Notice of Claims.

(a) Any Buyer Group Member or Seller Group Member (the “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known by the Indemnified Party) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any pending or threatened action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought (each such action or suit being a “Third Person Claim”) shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; provided further that failure to give such notice shall not

relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article XI shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

(c) In calculating any Loss or Expense there shall be deducted any insurance recovery in respect thereof (and no right of subrogation shall accrue hereunder to any insurer).

11.4. Third Person Claims.

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of a Claim Notice for a Third Person Claim, to assume the defense of such Third Person Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In any action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any action the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such action.

(b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless (i) simultaneously with the effectiveness of such settlement, compromise or consent, the Indemnifying Party pays in full the obligation imposed on the Indemnified Party by such settlement, compromise or consent, which releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such settlement, compromise or consent and (ii) such settlement, compromise or consent does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

11.5. Adjustment to Purchase Price. To the extent that a payment by Buyer or Seller under this Article XI can be properly so characterized under applicable Tax law, such payment shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

11.6. Other Terms of Indemnification.

(a) Neither party shall have any obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for: (i) any consequential or punitive damages or (ii) any other Losses or Expenses that are actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any other Person (including insurers).

(b) Except for remedies that may not be waived under applicable law, (i) this Article XI sets forth the exclusive remedy, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for monetary damages owing from Seller to any Buyer Group Member and from Buyer to any Seller Group Member that arise under this Agreement from the matters described in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 and (ii) each of the parties hereby waives any claim or cause of action for monetary damages that it might assert against the other, with respect to such matters, whether under any statute, common law, regulation or other law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Article XI shall not affect any liability or obligation that any party may have under the Ancillary Agreements.

ARTICLE XII

12.1. Termination. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a) by the mutual consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b) by Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 2005 (or such later date as may be mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller);

(c) by Buyer in the event of any material breach by Seller of any of Seller’s agreements, representations or warranties contained herein and the failure of Seller to cure such breach within ten business days after receipt of notice from Buyer requesting such breach to be cured;

12.2. Notice of Termination. Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 shall give notice of such termination to the other parties to this Agreement.

12.3. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article XII, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement (other than Sections 13.2 and 13.10) shall be terminated without further liability of any party to the other, provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for its willful breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1. Survival of Obligations. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Article XI, the representations and warranties contained in Articles V and VI shall terminate on the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, no claim shall be made for the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article V or VI or under any certificate delivered with respect thereto under this Agreement after the date on which such representations and warranties terminate as set forth in this Section.

13.2. Confidential Nature of Information. Each party agrees that it will treat in confidence all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained regarding the other party during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), the investigation provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and other related documents, and, if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, each party will return to the other party all copies of nonpublic documents and materials which have been furnished in connection therewith. Such documents, materials and information shall not be communicated to any third Person (other than, in the case of Buyer, to its counsel, accountants, financial advisors or lenders, and in the case of Seller, to its counsel, accountants or financial advisors). No other party shall use any confidential information in any manner whatsoever except solely for the purpose of evaluating the proposed purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that after the Closing Buyer may use or disclose any confidential information included in the Purchased Assets or otherwise reasonably related to the Business or the Purchased Assets, but only to the extent so related. The obligation of each party to treat such documents, materials and other information in confidence shall not apply to any information which (i) is or becomes available to such party from a source other than the other party, (ii) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such party or its agents, (iii) is required to be disclosed under applicable law or judicial process, but only to the extent it must be disclosed, or (iv) such party reasonably deems necessary to disclose to obtain any of the consents or approvals contemplated hereby.

13.3. No Public Announcement. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall, without the approval of the other, make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by law or the rules of any stock exchange, in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued.

13.4. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered when delivered personally or when sent by registered or certified mail or by overnight courier service addressed as follows:

13.5. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The rights of either party under this Agreement shall not be assignable by such party hereto prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of the other, except that the rights of Buyer hereunder may be assigned prior to the Closing, without the consent of Seller, to any corporation or limited liability company all of the outstanding capital stock or membership interests of which are owned or controlled by Buyer or to any general or limited partnership in which Buyer or any such corporation or limited liability company is a general

partner, provided that (i) such assignment shall not result in Buyer or Seller having to amend its respective Notification and Report Form filed under the HSR Act in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, (ii) the assignee shall assume in writing all of Buyer’s obligations to Seller hereunder, (iii) Buyer shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder by reason of such assignment and (iv) Seller’s obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to the delivery by such assignee, on or prior to the Closing Date, of a certificate signed on its behalf containing representations and warranties similar to those made by Buyer in Article VI. Following the Closing, either party may assign any of its rights hereunder, but no such assignment shall relieve it of its obligations hereunder.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. The successors and permitted assigns hereunder shall include, in the case of Buyer, any permitted assignee as well as the successors in interest to such permitted assignee (whether by merger, liquidation (including successive mergers or liquidations) or otherwise). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties and successors and assigns permitted by this Section 13.5 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.6. Access to Records after Closing.

(a) For a period which shall be the later of seven years after the Closing Date and the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for Tax purposes, Seller and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records of Seller with respect to the Business transferred to Buyer hereunder to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by Seller in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operations of the Business prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Seller shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.6. If Buyer shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such seven-year period, Buyer shall, prior to such disposition, give Seller a reasonable opportunity, at Seller’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Seller may select.

(b) For a period which shall be the later of seven years after the Closing Date and the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for Tax purposes, Buyer and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records relating to the Business which Seller or any of its Affiliates may retain after the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Seller and its Affiliates upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Buyer shall be solely responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.6. If Seller or any of its Affiliates shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such seven-year period, Seller shall, prior to such disposition, give Buyer a reasonable opportunity, at Buyer’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Buyer may select.

13.7. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein, the Ancillary Agreements and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto and contain all

representations and warranties, express or implied (including warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability or non-infringement), of the parties with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto, including the Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the parties hereto.

13.8. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

13.9. Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

13.10. Expenses. Each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants.

13.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of Seller and Buyer. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

13.12. Further Assurances. From time to time following the Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Buyer such other instruments of conveyance and transfer as Buyer may reasonably request to more effectively convey and transfer to, and vest in, Buyer and put Buyer in possession of, any part of the Purchased Assets and to provide Buyer the functional benefits of the Shared Assets, and, in the case of licenses, certificates, approvals, authorizations, agreements, contracts, leases, easements and other commitments, included in the Purchased Assets and the Shared Assets (a) which cannot be transferred or assigned effectively without the consent of third parties which consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing, to cooperate with Buyer at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consent promptly, and if any such consent is unobtainable, to use its commercially

reasonable efforts to secure to Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner, or (b) which are otherwise not transferable or assignable, to use its commercially reasonable efforts jointly with Buyer to secure to Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner (including the exercise of the rights of Seller thereunder); provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve Seller of its obligations under Section 7.3.

13.13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions) of the State of Delaware.

13.14. Time is of the Essence. With respect to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

13.15. Dispute Resolution. Subject to Section 13.15(c), in the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination thereof, including claims seeking redress or asserting rights under any law (a “Dispute”), such Dispute shall be resolved as set forth in this Section 13.15.

(a) Negotiation.

(i) Procedure and Timing. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by negotiations between representatives who have authority to settle the controversy. Any party may give the other party written notice of any Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within ten (10) days after delivery of such notice, representatives of both parties will meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the matter has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the disputing party’s notice, or it the parties fail to meet within ten (10) days, either party may initiate arbitration of the Dispute as provided below.

(ii) Accompaniment by Attorney. If a negotiator intends to be accompanied at a meeting by an attorney, the other negotiator must be given at least three (3) business days notice of such intention and may also be accompanied by an attorney. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and state rules of evidence.

(b) Arbitration.

(i) Procedure and Timing. Any Dispute that has not been resolved by negotiation as provided above within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as the parties may mutually agree in writing) of the initiation of such procedure will, upon demand of either party, be finally settled by arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any Dispute involving an amount in controversy of not more than $1,000,000 will be resolved by a single arbitrator mutually selected from a list of arbitrators recognized by the AAA. For any

Dispute involving an amount in controversy in excess of $1,000,000, Buyer and Seller will each appoint an arbitrator of choice from a list of arbitrators recognized by the AAA and such appointed arbitrators will appoint a third arbitrator from the list. The three arbitrators so selected will resolve the Dispute. The arbitration will be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court with jurisdiction. All applicable statutes of limitation will apply to any Dispute. The arbitrators will have no power to award punitive or exemplary damages, to ignore or vary the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and will be bound to apply controlling law. The costs of arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration award provides otherwise. Each party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its case.

(ii) Location. The location of the arbitration will be (a) Omaha, Nebraska, with respect to any arbitration initiated by Seller, and (b) Xxxxxxx County, Kansas, with respect to any arbitration initiated by Buyer.

(c) Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Section 13.15 shall be construed to prevent any party from seeking from a court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order or other temporary or preliminary equitable relief pending final resolution of a Dispute pursuant to this Section 13.18.

(d) Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. In the event suit is brought, arbitration is initiated or an attorney is otherwise retained by either party to enforce the terms of this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and expenses, and neither party shall be entitled to recover reimbursement, or claim recoverable Losses or Expenses, for its attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any such suit, arbitration or other action.

13.16. Sprint as Party for Limited Purposes. Sprint is a party to this Agreement solely for the purposes of Sections 4.4(d), 5.3(a), 8.1, 8.7 and Article 13.
