Re: Consent to Assignment and Assumption of the Distributor
Agreement by and between Qwest Communications Corporation, successor in
interest to LCI International Telecom Corp. ("Qwest") and Juno Online
Services, Inc. ("Juno"), dated as of March 1998, as amended (the
"Agreement")
To Whom It May Concern:
As you may know, upon the closing of Qwest's merger (the "Merger") with U
S West, federal regulations will prohibit Qwest from providing interLATA
services in the fourteen-state U S WEST region (AZ, CO, IA, ID, MD, MT, ND, NE,
NM, OR, SD, UT, WA, WY) (the "Region"). Therefore, Qwest has agreed to sell the
affected services in the Region to Touch America, Inc. ("Touch America"), a
subsidiary of The Montana Power Company. Qwest will assign certain rights and
obligations of our customer contracts to Touch America.
The practical effect to you will be an assignment of your contract in part
to Touch America. For Qwest services you have sold and will sell outside of the
Region, Qwest will continue to retain the contractual rights and obligations.
For any Qwest services sold by you in the Region, Qwest hereby assigns your
contractual rights and obligations to Touch America, effective upon the
consummation of the Merger. Touch America hereby assumes the obligations
formerly held by Qwest under the Agreement with respect to the Region end-user
customers, effective upon the consummation of the Merger.
Qwest and TouchAmerica acknowledge that the assignment made hereby is
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Amendment No. 1 to the
Agreement dated as of the date hereof and in particular that Qwest shall retain
certain rights to exclusivity within the Region as described in such Amendment.
Please sign below and return this letter to me in order to indicate your
consent to the assignment described above. This consent letter shall not be
effective until it is executed by all parties hereto.
Sincerely,
/s/ Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx
Senior Vice President, Consumer Markets
