Delaware, having offices at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000
(hereinafter referred to as "Nextel"); and AMDOCS SOFTWARE SYSTEMS LIMITED, a

"Amdocs").
RECITALS
A. Nextel, with its Affiliates, operates a wireless mobile
communications network. Amdocs provides customer care and billing software and
services for such networks.
B. Nextel has described its requirements for its customer care and
billing system and related services in Nextel's Request for Proposal dated June
22, 1999 and the Business Systems Overhaul Document dated November 10, 1999
(collectively, the "Requests").
C. In response to such Requests, Amdocs delivered to Nextel various
documents and other communications including the Response dated July 20, 1999
(collectively, the "Responses"). The Responses provided a solution based on a
customization of Amdocs' ENSEMBLE customer care and billing platform.
D. Nextel, having reviewed the Responses, has selected Amdocs to
provide customer care and billing system software and services.
E. For and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby contract
and agree as follows (capitalized terms herein not otherwise defined being used
as defined in Article 11):
1. AMDOCS SERVICES
1.1 GENERALLY
Amdocs agrees to customize the Generic Product in accordance with
the Specifications, to implement an Initial Release of the Customized Product
for Nextel and convert Nextel's existing billing systems data to the Initial

existing billing systems). Amdocs further agrees to operate the Customized
Product for the benefit of Nextel following conversion for the remainder of the
Term and, during such operational period, to continue to customize the
Customized Product in Additional Releases of the Customized Product to be
further specified by mutual agreement of Amdocs and Nextel. Amdocs agrees, at
its own expense, to procure, operate, and maintain the Software/Hardware
Environments, and to provide Documentation and other deliverables required
herein, and technical, professional, training and project management services
and other resources that are necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the

(a) Amdocs shall develop and implement the Initial Release of
the Customized Product in five (5) project Phases as described in this Section
1.2.1 (Statements of Work) and the statements of work referred to herein and in
accordance with the overall project plan and timeline attached hereto as
Schedule A (the "Project Plan"). Each of the statements of work for a particular
Phase (each, a "Statement of Work") shall be written documents executed by both
Parties and shall include a list of deliverables for the Phase, a budget of the

accordance with the terms hereof, Nextel shall be permitted to require review of
the matter in accordance with the dispute resolution process set forth in

Amount, and the licenses being granted to Nextel by Amdocs pursuant to Sections
7.1 (Ownership of Customized Materials, License to Use Customized Materials) and
7.2 (Ownership of Standard Materials; License to use Standard Materials) hereof,
Nextel shall pay Amdocs the amounts described in, and in
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 3 -
accordance with, Sections 1 through 5 of Schedule D (Charges) hereto. Except as
otherwise provided in this clause (g) below, Amdocs shall be required to
complete all Phases with respect to the Initial Release in an amount of hours
that is less than or equal to the Not-to-Exceed Amount. Further, the Parties
agree and acknowledge that the Not-To-Exceed Amount includes [**] ([**])
Customization hours relating to Amdocs' Ensemble module known as Flexible Xxxx
Formatter to be used with the TRIS Billing System. Amdocs shall be permitted to
charge Nextel in excess of the Not-to-Exceed Amount to complete the Initial
Release in the event that either (i) Nextel adds requirements for the Initial
Release subsequent to its acceptance of the DFS (net of hours to be saved by
Amdocs, if any, due to changes to the requirements contained in the DFS) or (ii)
there are delays caused by Nextel, as determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c)and
in such cases, only in the amount of the agreed upon number of hours to complete
such additional requirements or the number of extra hours incurred by Amdocs, to
the extent directly resulting from Nextel's delays, as the case may be. The
Parties further agree that, in the event that Nextel elects to defer to an
Additional Release, Amdocs' performance of any requirements included in the
Requests or the DFS for the Initial Release, Amdocs shall be permitted to charge
Nextel no more than the number of hours specified in the Requests or DFS with
respect to each such deferred requirement; provided that such Additional Release
is a Major Additional Release and is scheduled in the applicable Project Plan to
go into production on or before December 31, 2002. To the extent that Amdocs
uses fewer than the Not-To-Exceed Amount to complete the Initial Release, the
number of hours equal to the difference between the Not-To-Exceed Amount and the
actual number hours used to complete the Initial Release (the "Unused Initial
Release Hours") may be carried forward by Nextel and applied against any charges
for Additional Customization Services performed either for the benefit of Nextel
or any Nextel Customer. To the extent that Amdocs uses more than the
Not-To-Exceed Amount to complete the Initial Release, Prepaid Customization
Hours may be applied as provided in Section 1.2.1(h) (Statements of Work);
provided that Amdocs shall not be permitted to charge Nextel for hours exceeding
the Not-To-Exceed Amount except under the conditions set forth in clauses (i) or
(ii) above and with the prior written approval of Nextel. To facilitate the
measurement of any Unused Initial Release Hours, Amdocs shall (y) prepare a
functional breakdown of how Amdocs hours are expected to be used and (z)
continuously track and document the actual number of hours expended for each
such functional category until it has completed the Initial Release and shall,
upon Nextel's request, provide a monthly report thereon in a format to be agreed
upon by the Parties.
(h) As set forth in Schedule D (Charges), one component of the
Maintenance Services is a specified number of hours that Nextel may apply
towards Customization services performed for either the benefit of Nextel or any
Nextel Customer (the "Prepaid Customization Hours"). Following the completion of
the Initial Release, Nextel may request that Amdocs use the Prepaid
Customization Hours other than as provided for in Schedule D (Charges) as
follows: (i) in any applicable calendar year, Nextel may use [**] the Prepaid
Customization Hours allocated to the forthcoming year; and (ii) in any
applicable calendar year, Nextel may use [**] amount of unused Prepaid
Customization Hours allocated to previous years. In the event Nextel requests
Amdocs to use Prepaid Customization Hours as provided for in clause (i) above,
the respective payment for such transferred hours shall be made by Nextel on the
first business day (usually January 2nd) of the calendar year to which such
hours were originally allocated. At the end of the Term, whether due to
expiration of the Term or
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 4 -
termination by either Party, Amdocs shall pay to Nextel an amount equal to the
number of unused Customization hours, i.e., any Unused Initial Release Hours and
any unused Prepaid Customization Hours (provided that Nextel has paid Amdocs the
Maintenance Fee associated with such unused Prepaid Customization Hours)
calculated at the then current rate for such hours, provided that Amdocs shall
be entitled to deduct from such payment all undisputed amounts owing by Nextel,
but that have not yet been paid, pursuant to the terms hereof. Such refund is
not intended to compensate Nextel for any breach or default by Amdocs under this
Agreement, nor to constitute penalties, damages, liquidated damages, or other
compensation for any such breach or default. In no event shall such refund be
construed as Nextel's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any failure of
Amdocs to perform any required Customizations.
1.2.2 ADDITIONAL RELEASES

Customization Hours, or pay the Amdocs Rate, in connection with such Additional
Release. Amdocs shall perform the additional modifications of the then existing
Release of the Customized Product and implement such new Additional Release in
five (5) project Phases as described above in Section 1.2.1 (Statements of Work)
and additional Statements of Work referred to therein and in accordance with the
applicable Subsequent Project Plan. The obligations of Amdocs with respect to
each Additional Release shall be deemed "Services" under this Agreement and the

Agreement, to the extent that such terms are not inconsistent with those agreed
to by the Parties with respect to such Additional Release.

such Subcontractor to perform any tasks designated as Nextel tasks in Schedule B
(Roles and Responsibilities) that are related to the Customized Product, if such
Subcontractor is an Amdocs Competitor; provided further, however, that the
restriction contained in the preceding clause shall not prohibit Nextel from

such Amdocs Competitor (i) signs a confidentiality agreement with Amdocs that
contains confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in
Section 6 (Confidential Information) and (ii) is not permitted access to source
code or Documentation for the Customized Product; provided further, however,
that any Amdocs Competitor shall be permitted to design or construct technology

Amdocs with a data line connected to those Amdocs' Data Centers, and to a
development center designated by Amdocs; provided that such Data Centers and
development center are located in the United States. Nextel will give Amdocs
access to such facilities twenty four (24) hours a day, seven days a week;
provided that: (i) Amdocs complies with Nextel's security requirements and (ii)
Amdocs schedules such access so as to minimize any impact on the running of
Nextel's business. Nextel will be responsible for leasehold improvements at
Nextel's facilities that the Parties agree are required for Amdocs to provide
the Services.

than [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs' Key Personnel, during the period beginning
on the date hereof and ending on the Final Conversion Date, including (but not
limited to) Key Personnel assigned solely to Nextel, to other functions if doing
so would require the alteration or reduction of such Key Personnel's
contribution to, or involvement with, Amdocs' obligations under this Agreement.
Prior to the commencement of Customization Services with respect to each
Additional Release, the Parties shall review Schedule G (Key Personnel and
Program Manager) hereto and mutually agree to any additions and deletions
thereto, including additions and deletions of Critical Personnel, and the

reasonable request, replace such person with another person reasonably
acceptable to Nextel.

or Nextel and Amdocs mutually agree in writing to proceed with User Acceptance
Testing notwithstanding the existence of known defects, Nextel shall promptly
begin the User Acceptance Testing of such Software Components in environments
using actual converted data and test generated data, and using business
scenarios to be developed by the Parties during the applicable Detailed Program
Design Phase, to determine whether each Software Component performs as warranted
in Section 10 (Warranty). Nextel shall be permitted to add any additional
business scenarios after the end of the applicable Detailed Program Design Phase
to account for any changes in functionality or negative test conditions. No
later than [**] prior to User Acceptance Testing, Amdocs shall provide to Nextel
the detailed test scripts used in System Testing consisting of the detailed run
books, test calendars, and any other test case material that is used as a part
of System Testing. Further, Amdocs shall provide training on the Customized
Product for Nextel personnel conducting User Acceptance Testing. During each
cycle of User Acceptance Testing, if Nextel determines that a Software
Component, or the Customized Product as a whole, has a material defect or is not
performing according to the Specifications, or does not perform as warranted in
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 13 -
Section 10.3(g) (Warranty), Nextel shall report the discrepancies to Amdocs. In
the event that User Acceptance Testing halts due to deficiencies uncovered
during the User Acceptance Testing, Amdocs must correct the deficiencies in the
time frames specified for the highest priority correction in Section 2.1 of
Appendix II (Mean Time to Repair) in Schedule C (Creditable Performance
Specifications (CPSs)). In the event that User Acceptance Testing does not halt
and continues to run, Amdocs shall correct the errors or defects and provide
corrected Software Components within [**] after the end of the cycle of User
Acceptance Testing. Nextel may re-run cycles of User Acceptance Testing until
such a time that Nextel is satisfied with the quality of the Software Component.
Nextel's undertaking of User Acceptance Testing does not imply acknowledgement
of defect-free software, nor does it limit Nextel's ability or right to later
discover and report product defects. Upon Nextel's verification that the
Software Components are free of known defects or Nextel's determination to
proceed with known defects, Nextel shall notify Amdocs in writing that "Initial
Acceptance" of such Software Component (or the Customized Product, as the case
may be), has occurred. Nextel's determination to proceed with known defects
shall not limit Amdocs' obligation to timely correct such defects.
(c) Upon Initial Acceptance by Nextel of all Software
Components contained in a Release of the Customized Product, Nextel shall begin
testing such Software Components in Pilot Testing. The structure, goals and
success criteria of the Pilot Testing will be as set forth and mutually agreed
upon by the Parties and set forth in the applicable Detailed Program Design.
(d) Upon successful completion of the Pilot Testing (during
which all errors or defects, if any which have been detected in the Customized
Product are cured by Amdocs), and upon a subsequent "go live" decision by
Nextel, Nextel shall begin to use the Customized Product, in a production
environment. Nextel shall be deemed to have issued its "Final Acceptance" of the
applicable Release of the Customized Product upon Amdocs' correction of any
material errors detected and identified to Amdocs (i) prior to the "go live"
date; and (ii) during the period commencing on the "go live" date and ending on
the later of: (x) [**] subsequent to such "go live" date and (y) [**] after the
completion of the first billing cycle using the applicable Release of the
Customized Product. For purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 3.6.1(d),
material errors are Priority 1 and Priority 2 Issues as defined in Schedule C
(Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)). Subsequent to "Final
Acceptance," Amdocs shall be required to correct any errors in the applicable
Release of the Customized Product in accordance with this Agreement, including
the Schedules hereto.
3.6.2 NON SOFTWARE ACCEPTANCE
Each material deliverable required to be provided for Nextel
pursuant to a Statement of Work hereunder that is not a Software Component shall
also be subject to acceptance by Nextel as provided below. The Parties shall
establish specific approval criteria with respect to each material non-software
deliverable hereunder, at least [**] prior to the scheduled delivery date of
such non-software deliverable. However, the Parties agree that acceptance
criteria for the DPD for the Initial Release shall be established by the Parties
prior to October 16, 2000. Nextel shall review each such deliverable under any
such specifically established approval criteria and within the time established
for that deliverable pursuant to the applicable Statement of Work (or, if none
is so established then within a reasonable time). Upon
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 14 -
completion of the reviews, Nextel shall notify Amdocs in writing of Nextel's
approval (an "Approving Notice") or non-approval (a "Non-Approving Notice") of
the deliverable. Non-Approval may be determined only due to a failure to meet
the deliverable specific approval criteria therefor, or, in the absence of such
deliverable specific approval criteria, a material defect. In the event that
Nextel does not send to Amdocs an Approving Notice or a Non-Approving Notice
within [**] of delivery, the deliverable shall be deemed accepted. If the
deliverable is not approved, Nextel shall include in the Non-Approving Notice a
statement of the material defect or the deliverable specific approval criteria
that were not met. Amdocs agrees that it will correct any identified material
defects or failures of a non-approved deliverable to meet the deliverable
specific approval criteria promptly, and in any event, within any time frame
established in the applicable Statement of Work and that [**] to effect such
correction. Upon delivery of the revised deliverable, the review process
described above shall recommence with respect to all aspects of such deliverable
that were to have been corrected and any other aspects that may have been
affected as a result of such corrections.
3.6.3 EFFECT OF REVIEWS
Notwithstanding any opportunity for Nextel to inspect any
intermediate deliverables, no testing pursuant to Section 3.6 (Acceptance
Testing) or Approving Notice shall constitute a waiver of or otherwise relieve
Amdocs from its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation pursuant to
the warranties of Section 10 (Warranty) hereof and no Approving Notice with
respect to an intermediate deliverable shall obligate Nextel with respect to, or
constitute, approval or acceptance of the Customized Product. For the avoidance
of doubt, the provisions of this Subsection 3.6.3 (Effect of Reviews) shall not
affect the acceptance of the Customized Product in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.6.1 (Software Component Testing).
3.7 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
3.7.1 PROBLEMS
In the event of any dispute under or in relation to this
Agreement (including but not limited to a dispute regarding the subject matter
of Section 3.6 (Acceptance Testing), any Statement of Work or any damages
claimed by one Party from the other Party, the Program Managers shall discuss
and make an effort to resolve such dispute at or prior to the next Steering
Committee meeting, and for at least [**]. If the Program Managers shall have
executed a written resolution of the dispute, each Party shall begin performance

Managers may amend or modify the terms of this Agreement without the concurrence
of the Steering Committee. In the event the Program Managers have been unable to
resolve the dispute, the dispute shall be referred to the Steering Committee for
its resolution at the first occurring meeting thereof following the elapse of
the above-mentioned [**], or such longer period as agreed to in writing by the

If any dispute arises between the Parties, and the disputed
matter has not been resolved by the Program Managers within [**] after such
dispute has come to their attention (or a longer, reasonable period, if so
agreed between the Program Managers), and the disputed matter has not been
resolved by the Steering Committee at the first occurring meeting thereof
following the elapse of the above-mentioned [**], or such longer period as
agreed to in writing by the Parties, or, if otherwise, at the meeting thereof
called to consider the dispute, and without regard to whether either Party has
contested whether these procedures, including the duty of good faith, have been
followed, each Party shall have the right to refer the unresolved dispute (and,
in connection with such referral, such Party shall provide a summary of the
dispute and each Party's position) to the Presidents of Nextel and Amdocs, who
will then attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. In the exceptional event
that the Presidents of the Parties or their respective designees cannot resolve
the dispute within a time frame agreed to by the Presidents (or, if not agreed,
within a period of [**]), the dispute shall be resolved as provided for in
Section 12.6 (Governing Law And Jurisdiction).
3.7.3 NO TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF SERVICES
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and
even if any dispute arises between the Parties and regardless of whether or not
it requires at any time the use of the dispute resolution procedures described
above, in no event nor for any reason shall Amdocs interrupt the provision of
Services to Nextel, disable the Customized Product or any portion thereof or any
other deliverable hereunder, or perform any other action that prevents, slows
down, or reduces in any way the provision of the Services or Nextel's ability to
conduct its business (with any such interruption, disablement, or other action,
being referred to herein as a "Suspension"), unless: (i) authority to do so is
granted by Nextel in writing or conferred by the Arbitrator or by a court of
competent jurisdiction; (ii) Nextel has failed to pay Amdocs in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement at least [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs'
charges relating to a period of [**] or more hereunder; provided that (x) such
charges are at least [**] past due; (y) Amdocs has advised Nextel's Program
Manager in writing of Nextel's failure to make timely payment of such amounts
and that Amdocs reserves the right to terminate or suspend the Services in
accordance with the Agreement if such amounts are not fully paid within [**] of
Amdocs' above written notice, and (z) Nextel has not paid such amounts in full
by the later of the [**] period specified in (x) above or the [**] period
specified in (y) above; or (iii) this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to
Section 5 (Term, Renewal and Termination), and Amdocs has performed all of its
obligations under Section 5.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)). The
Parties further agree that notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section 3.7.3 (No
Termination or Suspension of Services), Amdocs shall not be entitled to
undertake a Suspension in the event that Nextel has failed to pay Amdocs, in
accordance with this Agreement, any portion (i.e., [**] percent ([**]%)) of
Amdocs' charges relating to such period of [**] or more, if with respect to any
amount greater than [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs' charges relating to such
period of [**] or more, Nextel's Chief Information Officer or Chief Operations
Officer shall have determined such amount is a "disputed amount" in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.2.6(d) (Payments) hereof.

Neither Party shall be obligated to follow the procedures set
forth in Section 5.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)), Section 3.7.1
(Problems) and Section 3.7.2 (Unresolved Disputes), and each Party shall be
entitled to seek relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, in order to seek
injunctive relief for violations of this Agreement, provided that the Party
seeking relief shall provide the other Party [**] notice prior to seeking such

conform to Nextel's security rules and requirements as they have been disclosed
to Amdocs in writing. At all times during the Term, Amdocs shall ensure that it,
its employees, agents and Subcontractors: (i) comply with, and take no action
that results in Nextel being in violation of, any U.S. Federal, state or local,
or any foreign, law, regulation or rule, including those regarding security or
exportation; and (ii) obtain any and all security clearances, insofar as it is
required by any applicable law, regulation, administrative order or other
applicable authority, that Nextel determines are required in connection with the
performance of any of the Services.
(b) Computer Information and Access
Prior to performing any services pursuant to this Agreement, Amdocs'
personnel who will access Nextel computer data and software, including the
Nextel Data, shall execute Nextel's standard forms, to the extent they exist,
concerning access protection and data/software security. At all times during the

shall be used by Amdocs personnel only in connection with Amdocs' obligations
hereunder, and shall not be commercially exploited by Amdocs with Third Parties.
Failure of Amdocs to comply with these rules may result in Nextel restricting
offending personnel from access to Nextel computer systems. Amdocs shall
maintain and ensure the confidentiality and security of the Nextel Data. To the
extent applicable, the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, with regard to Nextel's employees, agents and Subcontractors, if any,
who will have access to Amdocs' computers, data and software.

performing Services hereunder to, abide by all Nextel corporate policies
applicable to the performance of the Services hereunder that may be established
by Nextel from time to time. Nextel shall provide copies of any such policies

Nextel will be entitled to Performance Credits, and Amdocs
shall be entitled to bonuses, in accordance with Schedule C (Creditable
Performance Specifications (CPSs)), in respect of Amdocs' actual performance of

Services in such events. Performance Credits are not intended to compensate
Nextel for any breach or default by Amdocs under this Agreement, nor to
constitute damages, liquidated damages, or other compensation for any such
breach or default. In no event shall Performance Credits be Nextel's sole and
exclusive remedy with respect to any failure of Amdocs to comply with applicable
CPSs; provided that any monetary award granted to Nextel with respect to such
failure shall be reduced by, but shall not be limited to, any Performance Credit
paid by Amdocs with respect to such failure.
4.2.6 PAYMENTS

Account name: Amdocs Software Systems Ltd.
Account #: 375130 7651

to charge Nextel Interest on any undisputed amount payable under this Agreement
in the event such undisputed amount is not paid within [**] of the Due Date, on
the monthly invoice immediately following the month of the invoice including
such unpaid amount, such Interest to be computed from the Due Date to the date
of payment.
(c) Each of Nextel and Amdocs shall appoint one member of a
joint committee (the "Joint Committee") established to deal with the issue of
Amdocs' invoices and any disputed amounts payable under this Agreement. The
first members of the Joint Committee will be Nextel's Director of Business
Systems Overhaul Project and Amdocs' Vice President for the Customer Care and
Billing Project. The committee members will agree on the format of Amdocs'
invoices and the additional information or documentation, if any, required to
support such invoices.
(d) Upon receiving an Amdocs invoice, Nextel shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable, review the invoice to verify whether there are any
disputed amounts in
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 22 -
the invoice; provided that Nextel shall retain its right to dispute any amounts
contained in such invoice that it discovers later, including subsequent to the
payment of such invoice. In the event Nextel is of the opinion that any invoice
contains a disputed amount (whether or not the disputed amount has already been
paid by Nextel), it shall promptly prepare a detailed memorandum explaining the
basis for the dispute and gather reasonable documentation and information, if
possible, to substantiate it. Nextel shall then, without further delay, bring
such material to the attention of the Joint Committee who shall use all
reasonable efforts to resolve the matter of the disputed amount within [**]. If
such a resolution cannot be reached within the above period (or any other period
mutually agreed upon by the Parties), the matter shall be immediately presented
by the Joint Committee to Nextel's Chief Information Officer or Nextel's Chief
Operations Officer for determination as to whether the amount in question (or
any part thereof) is disputed or not. Provided that the procedure set forth in
this clause (d) has been followed and that such person determines that the
amount is disputed and was initially invoiced on or after the date that is [**]
prior to the date of the invoice from which such disputed amount is being
withheld, Nextel shall have the right to withhold such amount from such invoice
and the matter shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution
procedure specified in Section 3.7 (Dispute Resolution) as if the matter has not
been resolved by the Program Managers; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall be construed to restrict or limit in any way Nextel's right to terminate
this Agreement, at any time, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5
(Term, Renewal and Termination) hereof. Nextel shall also be permitted to
withhold any "Computable Amounts" from any invoice.
(e) The failure of Nextel to pay a disputed invoice or to pay
the disputed part of any invoice shall not constitute a breach or Default by
Nextel provided that the procedure described above herein has been followed with
respect to the matter. In the event that Nextel disputes an amount invoiced by
Amdocs and the procedure described in clause (d) above results in a
determination that such amount is due and owing by Nextel, such amount shall be
due and payable within [**] of Nextel's receipt of such determination. The
failure of Nextel to withhold payment shall not waive any other rights Nextel
may have with respect to disputed amounts or overpayments.
(f) All payments under this Agreement shall be made in
currency of the United States of America.
(g) Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, with
regard to the Milestone related payments specified in Schedule D (Charges)
hereof, Amdocs shall issue to Nextel invoices at least [**] before the
anticipated Milestone achievement date. Subject to Nextel's reasonable
determination that the applicable Milestone has been achieved in accordance with
Schedule D (Charges), Nextel shall pay such invoices on the Milestone
achievement date, which is considered to be the Due Date for the purposes of
this paragraph (g); and if not paid by Nextel on such Due Date, Interest shall
apply as of such Due Date without any grace period.
4.2.7 THIRD PARTY SERVICES
Nextel may engage Third Parties to provide services in
connection with the Customized Product; provided that Nextel shall provide

4.2.8 TAXES
(a) Nextel shall be responsible for any present or future
federal, state, or local sales, transaction, or withholding, tax that is imposed
by a taxing authority located in the United States on charges for goods and/or
services provided by Amdocs pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that
Nextel shall not be responsible to Amdocs for any tax that is not billed on the
original Amdocs invoice for such goods or services, unless Amdocs is able to
include such tax within [**] on a subsequent Amdocs invoice, and in accordance
with applicable law without application of any penalty. Amdocs shall be
responsible for any present or future sales, transaction, or withholding, tax
imposed by a taxing authority located outside the United States for goods and/or
services provided by Amdocs pursuant to this Agreement. If Nextel wishes to
claim an exemption from any applicable tax, Nextel shall be required to furnish
Amdocs with an exemption certificate documenting such exemption. For the
avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall be responsible for the payment of any
taxes, regardless of the location of the taxing authority, imposed on the income
or personal property of the other Party.
(b) Within [**] after the date of any deduction of any Taxes
by or on behalf of Nextel from or in respect of any sum payable to Amdocs
hereunder, Nextel shall furnish to Amdocs, at its address referred to herein,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such deduction of
Taxes.
(c) Each Party shall upon the request of the other take
reasonable action, including without limitation the completion of forms,
certificates and documents and the provision of information to the relevant
taxing authority, of the kind required under the applicable law, to secure the
benefit of any exemption from or relief with respect to the Taxes applicable to
any amounts payable hereunder.
(d) The Parties agree to cooperate with each other to enable
each to more accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such
liability to the extent legally permissible. Amdocs' invoices shall, where
applicable, separately state the amounts of any taxes Amdocs is properly
collecting from Nextel pursuant to the terms hereof.
4.3 EXPENSES
As provided above, Nextel shall reimburse Amdocs for reasonable out
of pocket expenses, incurred by Amdocs personnel directly providing Services, in
accordance with Annex A to Schedule D (Charges) hereof.

4.4 [**] PASS THROUGH AGREEMENT
Upon the request of Nextel and subject to the prior review and
written approval of Nextel, Amdocs shall enter into an agreement with its [**]
or any other permitted Subcontractor used by Amdocs for the performance of the
Services hereunder for the processing, printing and mailing of Nextel's invoices
to its Subscribers at the best prices Amdocs currently obtains and otherwise in
a format reasonably acceptable to Nextel (the "[**] Pass Through Agreement");
provided that Amdocs shall remain responsible for all applicable CPSs and other
performance standards herein, and shall be responsible to Nextel for the
fulfillment of any CPSs or other performance standards contained in the [**]
Pass Through Agreement. Nextel shall pay Amdocs all charges (including but not
limited to deposits and other fees) Amdocs incurs under the [**] Pass Through
Agreement plus an additional [**] percent ([**]%) of such charges; provided,
however, that such [**] percent ([**]%) charge shall not apply to [**] charges
or deposited amounts. In the event Nextel pays to Amdocs any amount that Amdocs
is required to deposit under the [**] Pass Through Agreement, and Amdocs
receives a refund of such deposit, Amdocs shall promptly refund such amount to
Nextel. No increase in the prices charged to Nextel under the [**] Pass Through
Agreement shall be effective on Nextel without at least [**] notice to Nextel.
In lieu of the pass through arrangement described above, Nextel, at any time,
may elect to enter directly (without the involvement of Amdocs) into the [**]
Pass Through Agreement or other agreement with a [**]; provided that Nextel
shall notify Amdocs [**] prior to the effectiveness of any such agreement
entered into directly by Nextel with a [**]; and provided further, that upon
such agreement becoming effective (and the [**] Pass Through Agreement no longer
being in effect), the Parties shall revise the CPSs such that the number of
hours allocated for Amdocs to complete the portion of the billing cycle for
which it is responsible shall be reduced to account for such [**] Pass Through
Agreement no longer being in effect.
4.5 ITDS CONTRACT AMENDMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS TO ITDS CONTRACT
Within thirty (30) days of execution of this Agreement, Amdocs shall
cause ITDS to enter into the amendment to the ITDS Contract set forth in
Schedule H (ITDS Contract Amendments).
5. TERM, RENEWAL AND TERMINATION
5.1 INITIAL TERM; RENEWALS
The period during which Amdocs shall be obligated to provide the
Services under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and end on
the earliest of (i) the date which is five (5) years subsequent to the Final
Conversion Date; (ii) December 31, 2007 and (iii) the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to its terms. Amdocs shall notify Nextel of the expiration of
the Initial Term, and of any renewal thereof, no earlier than twelve (12)
months, nor later than six (6) months, before the date on which the Term would
expire (if not renewed). Nextel shall have the right in its sole discretion,
exercisable by notice to Amdocs delivered at least [**] prior to the expiration
of the Initial Term, to extend the Initial Term for a period of two (2) years
(the "Renewal Period"). In the event that Nextel makes such an election, pricing
for the Services in the Renewal Period shall remain in accordance with the terms
of this
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 25 -
Agreement, provided however, that the Monthly Subscriber Fee shall be adjusted,
effective as of the beginning of such Renewal Period, upward or downward, as the
case may be, by an amount equal to the product of the Second Rate Adjustment
Index and the Monthly Subscriber Fee as in effect on the date of expiration of
the Initial Term; provided, further, however, that Nextel shall have the right
to revoke its election to extend the Initial Term at any time prior to signing
an extension for the Renewal Period.
5.2 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE; CHANGE IN CONTROL OF AMDOCS;
TERMINATION FOR FORCE MAJEURE; FOR FAILURE TO DELIVER ACCEPTABLE DFS
5.2.1 FOR CONVENIENCE
Nextel shall have the right to terminate for its convenience
the Services effective at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of any calendar quarter
(e.g., March 31, etc.) (the "Termination Date" with regard to termination for
convenience) by delivering to Amdocs a written "Termination Notice" at least
[**] before the Termination Date. In the event Nextel terminates the Services
for its convenience (in addition to paying all fees otherwise payable by Nextel
hereunder through the Termination Date), Nextel shall pay to Amdocs an Exit Fee
determined in accordance with Schedule I (Exit Fee Computation); provided that
the amount of such Exit Fee shall be determined on the basis of the date of the
Termination Notice; and provided, further, that such Exit Fee shall be payable
to Amdocs in the following manner: [**] of the Exit Fee shall be payable to
Amdocs on the date of the Termination Notice, [**] of the Exit Fee shall be
payable to Amdocs on the Termination Date and [**] of the Exit Fee shall be
payable to Amdocs on the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 5.5.1
(Disentanglement Process)), provided that this final installment of the Exit Fee
shall be deposited by Nextel in a Third-Party escrow account on or prior to the
Termination Date and released on the Expiration Date. For the avoidance of
doubt, Nextel shall not be able to partially terminate the Services pursuant to
this Section 5.2.1 (For Convenience). Notwithstanding the above, in the event
that Nextel terminates this Agreement for convenience in accordance with this
Section 5.2.1 (For Convenience) during the Renewal Period, Nextel shall not be
obligated to pay Amdocs the Exit Fee provided that the Termination Date is fixed
on a day that is at least [**] following the receipt by Amdocs of the applicable
Termination Notice. In addition, in the event of termination for convenience by
Nextel as aforesaid, Nextel shall provide Amdocs with a written statement (the
"Termination Statement") signed by Nextel in the form of Exhibit B attached
hereto and Amdocs may present this statement to Third Parties and use it in any
way it deems fit. The Parties agree that Nextel's provision to Amdocs of a
Termination Statement hereunder shall not be construed to imply that Nextel does
not believe that Amdocs has committed any Default or breach hereunder, or to
prohibit or restrict Nextel's right to make any claim that Amdocs has committed
any Default or breach hereunder, and notwithstanding the provision of such
Termination Statement, Nextel shall have all remedies available to it in
accordance with Section 9.2 (Remedies) hereof with respect to any failure or
breach by Amdocs in the performance of its obligations hereunder, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, including any limitations on damages contained in
this Agreement.

5.2.2 CHANGE IN CONTROL OF AMDOCS
In the event of a Change in Control of Amdocs or Amdocs
Limited that results in a Nextel Competitor or any Affiliate of a Nextel
Competitor acquiring Control of Amdocs or Amdocs Limited, Nextel shall have the
right to end the Term on a date that is the last day of a calendar quarter
(e.g., March 31, etc.), by sending Amdocs a Termination Notice at least ninety
(90) days before the Termination Date specified in such Termination Notice,
provided that Nextel shall have delivered such notice to Amdocs not later than
ninety (90) days following the effective date of such Change in Control. Solely
for purposes of this Section 5.2.2 (Change in Control of Amdocs), Control shall
mean the legal, beneficial, or equitable ownership, direct or indirect, of more
than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate of all voting or equity interests in
Amdocs or Amdocs Limited, as the case may be; "Change in Control" shall mean the
closing of any transaction or related series of transactions as a result of
which a single person or business unit (or legally or contractually related
group of persons or businesses) acquires Control of Amdocs or Amdocs Limited, as
the case may be. In the event Nextel terminates the Term on the basis of a
Change in Control hereunder, and provided that the Termination Date is fixed on
a day that is at least [**] following the date on which the prospective Change
in Control is publicly disclosed, Nextel shall not be required to pay Amdocs any
Exit Fee or other termination fees. In addition, in the event of termination of
this Agreement by Nextel due to Change in Control as aforesaid, Nextel shall
provide Amdocs with a Termination Statement signed by Nextel in the form of
Exhibit B attached hereto and Amdocs may present this statement to Third Parties
and use it in any way it deems fit. The Parties agree that Nextel's provision to
Amdocs of a Termination Statement hereunder shall not be construed to imply that
Nextel does not believe that Amdocs has committed any Default or breach
hereunder, or to prohibit or restrict Nextel's right to make any claim that
Amdocs has committed any Default or breach hereunder, and notwithstanding the
provision of such Termination Statement, Nextel shall have all remedies
available to it in accordance with Section 9.2 (Remedies) hereof with respect to
any failure or breach by Amdocs in the performance of its obligations hereunder,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including any limitations on
damages contained in this Agreement.
5.2.3 TERMINATION FOR FORCE MAJEURE EVENT
If a delay or interruption of performance by Amdocs resulting
from its experiencing a Force Majeure Event exceeds [**] (the "Force Majeure
Period"), then Nextel may either: (i) terminate the Term, by delivering to
Amdocs a Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date not less than [**]
after the date of the Termination Notice; and in the event of such a
termination, Amdocs shall perform its Disentanglement obligations hereunder
until they are fulfilled; provided that, during the pendency of the Force
Majeure Event, Amdocs shall only perform its Disentanglement obligations to the
extent such obligations can be performed despite the Force Majeure Event; or
(ii) engage an alternate provider (who shall be subject to the confidentiality
requirements hereunder), on an interim basis, to perform the Services that
Amdocs is unable to perform as a result of the Force Majeure Event until such
time as Amdocs is able again to perform the Services in accordance with the
terms hereof; provided, however, that if due to the Force Majeure Event, Amdocs
is unable even to perform disaster recovery services under the Disaster Recovery
Plan, Nextel shall have the right, beginning [**] after the occurrence of the
Force Majeure Event, to terminate the Term by delivering to Amdocs a
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 27 -
Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date. Nextel [**] if Nextel
terminates the Term on the basis of a Force Majeure Event.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties expressly agree that:
(i) in the event that the Force Majeure Event constitutes a "Disaster," Amdocs
shall not be deemed to be failing to perform the Services if Amdocs is
performing disaster recovery services in accordance with such Disaster Recovery
Plan; and (ii) Nextel shall have a right to terminate the Agreement under this
Section 5.2.3 (Termination for Force Majeure Event), whether or not Amdocs is so
performing disaster recovery services in accordance with the Disaster Recovery
Plan, in the event that due to the Force Majeure Event, Amdocs is unable to
perform the Services as they would be required to be performed under this
Agreement in the absence of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and in
accordance with the CPSs (subject to any applicable Grace Period under Schedule
C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs)). In addition, in the event of
termination for Force Majeure Event by Nextel as aforesaid, Nextel shall provide
Amdocs with a Termination Statement signed by Nextel in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto and Amdocs may present this statement to Third Parties and use
it in any way it deems fit. The Parties agree that Nextel's provision to Amdocs
of a Termination Statement hereunder shall not be construed to imply that Nextel
does not believe that Amdocs has committed any Default or breach hereunder
(independent of the failure that is caused by the Force Majeure Event), or to
prohibit or restrict Nextel's right to make any claim that Amdocs has committed
any Default or breach hereunder (independent of the failure that is caused by
the Force Majeure Event), and notwithstanding the provision of such Termination
Statement, Nextel shall have all remedies available to it in accordance with
Section 9.2 (Remedies) hereof with respect to any failure or breach by Amdocs in
the performance of its obligations hereunder, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, including any limitations on damages contained in this Agreement.
5.2.4 EFFECT OF TERMINATION
For the avoidance of doubt, any termination under this Section
5.2 (Termination for Convenience; Change in Control of Amdocs; Termination for
Force Majeure) shall be effective with regard to Nextel [**] receiving Services
under this Agreement, but shall not be effective with regard to [**] that has
entered into its own agreement with Amdocs.
5.3 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
5.3.1 CRITICAL DEFAULTS
Section 3.7 (Dispute Resolution) hereof notwithstanding, the
Term may be ended by either Party at any time, by delivering a Termination
Notice specifying a Termination Date to the other Party if the other Party
commits a Critical Default, provided that such Termination Date stated in any
Termination Notice issued pursuant to this Section 5.3.1 (Critical Defaults))
shall be [**] or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice.
Termination shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the
event of such a termination by Nextel, Amdocs shall perform its Disentanglement
obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Termination shall not constitute
a Party's exclusive remedy for such a Critical Default, and such Party shall not
be deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such
Critical Default. Nextel shall not be required to pay Amdocs any Exit Fee or
other
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 28 -
termination fees if Nextel terminates the Term for Critical Default. If Nextel
ends the Term as a result of a claimed Critical Default by Amdocs and it is
determined by the Arbitrator that no Critical Default was committed, then the
termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience, pursuant to Section
5.2.1 (For Convenience), and Amdocs shall have all remedies available to it, in
accordance with Section 9.2 (Remedies) hereof, in connection with such
determination that no Default was committed. For purposes of this Section 5.3
(Termination for Cause), a "Critical Default" of Amdocs shall mean each of the
defaults described in clauses (a), (d), (e) and (g) of Section 11.1.39 (Default)
hereunder only; and a "Critical Default" of Nextel shall mean the default
described in clause (f) of Section 11.1.39 (Default) hereunder, i.e., Nextel's
failure to pay Amdocs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement more
than [**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs' charges relating to a period of sixty (60)
days or more hereunder; provided that (x) such charges are at least ninety (90)
days past due; (y) Amdocs has advised Nextel's Program Manager in writing of
Nextel's failure to make timely payment of such amounts and that Amdocs reserves
the right to terminate or suspend the Services in accordance with the Agreement
if such amounts are not fully paid within forty-five (45) days of Amdocs' above
written notice, and (z) Nextel has not paid such amounts in full by the later of
the ninety (90) day period specified in (x) above or the forty-five (45) day
period specified in (y) above; and provided further, however, that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided above, there shall not be
deemed to have occurred a "Critical Default" of Nextel hereunder in the event
that Nextel has failed to pay Amdocs, in accordance with this Agreement, any
portion (i.e., up to [**] percent ([**]%)) of Amdocs' charges relating to such
period of sixty (60) days or more, if with respect to any amount greater than
[**] percent ([**]%) of Amdocs' charges relating to such period of sixty (60)
days or more, Nextel's Chief Information Officer or Chief Operations Officer
shall have determined such amount is a "disputed amount" in accordance with
Section 4.2.6(d) (Payments) hereof.
5.3.2 MATERIAL DEFAULTS
In the event that Nextel believes Amdocs has committed a
Default described in clause (f) of Section 11.1.39 (Default) hereunder or either
Party believes the other Party has committed a Default described in clause (c)
of Section 11.1.39 (Default) hereunder (each referred to hereinafter as a
"Material Default"), the Party asserting that such Material Default has been
committed shall provide the other Party with written notice of such claim, and
within [**] of the date of such notification, an Arbitrator having at least five
(5) years experience in international business shall be appointed by agreement
of the Parties; provided, that if the Parties are unable to agree on an
Arbitrator within such period, then, no later than the tenth (10th) calendar day
after the date of notification described above an Arbitrator shall be appointed
by AAA. The purpose of such arbitration shall be to determine, assuming the
truth of all claims of the Party asserting that such Material Default has been
committed, whether the other Party's failure or breach is "material" for
purposes of clause (c) or (f) of Section 11.1.39 (Default), as the case may be.
The arbitration (as well as any subsequent arbitration provided below) shall be
conducted (i) under the rules of the AAA; (ii) in New York City; and (iii) in
the English language. Within [**] of the date of the original notification
described above, the Arbitrator shall make its initial determination of
materiality, and if the Arbitrator confirms that the asserted failure or breach
is "material," then within [**] of the original notification described above,
the Arbitrator must determine whether the asserted Material Default was in fact
committed and was
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 29 -
not cured within the applicable cure period therefor, if any (i.e., that the
conditions of a Default under clause (f) or clause (c), as the case may be, of
Section 11.1.39 (Default) were met). If the Arbitrator determines that a Party
did in fact commit a Material Default, or the Arbitrator fails to render a
determination within [**] of the original notification as to whether such
Material Default was in fact committed, then the Party asserting such Material
Default shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. The [**] time limit
during which the Arbitrator must determine whether a Party has in fact committed
a Material Default shall be reduced by the number of days in excess of thirty
(30) elapsing between the date of the original notice described above and the
date of the Arbitrator's initial threshold determination of materiality. In the
event that the Arbitrator rules that a Material Default has been committed by a
Party, the other Party may initiate the termination by sending the other Party a
Termination Notice specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination
Date shall be [**] or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice.
Termination shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date, and, in
the event of such a termination, Amdocs shall perform its Disentanglement
obligations hereunder until they are fulfilled. Upon termination by Nextel
pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 (Material Defaults), Amdocs shall [**] subsequent
to the expiration of any cure period contained in clause (c) or clause (f), as
the case may be, of Section 11.1.39 (Default). Termination shall not constitute
a Party's exclusive remedy for a Material Default of the other Party, and the
Arbitrator shall have time beyond the [**]time period referenced above to
determine the damages due to a Party for such asserted failure or breach of the
other Party hereunder. Further, a Party shall not be deemed to have waived any
of its rights accruing hereunder prior to submitting the original notice
described above, and Nextel shall not be required to pay Amdocs any Exit Fee or
other termination fees if Nextel terminates the Term pursuant to this Section
5.3.2 (Material Defaults). Further, the non-prevailing Party in any arbitration
conducted pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 (Material Defaults) shall be required
to pay the arbitration costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, of the other
Party. If a Party asserting a Material Default terminates this Agreement, in
accordance herewith, on the basis of the Arbitrator's failure to render a
determination within [**] of the original notification, as to whether such
Material Default was in fact committed, the arbitration shall continue in order
to determine whether such Material Default was committed; and if such
determination is that neither a Critical Default or a Material Default was
committed, then the termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience,
pursuant to Section 5.2.1 (For Convenience).
5.3.3 OTHER DEFAULTS
In the event that either Party (the "First Party") commits an
Other Default, the other Party (the "Second Party") may, after providing the
First Party with written notice of such Other Default, submit the matter to the
escalation procedures set forth in Section 3.7 (Dispute Resolution). If, as a
result of such procedure, the Arbitrator determines that the First Party did in
fact commit an Other Default, then the Second Party shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by sending the First Party a Termination Notice
specifying a Termination Date, provided that such Termination Date shall be [**]
or more subsequent to the date of such Termination Notice. Termination shall be
effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date; in the event of such a
termination by Nextel, [**]. Termination shall not constitute the Second Party's
exclusive remedy for such an Other Default, and the Second Party shall not be
deemed to have waived any of its rights accruing hereunder prior to such Other
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 30 -
Default. Nextel shall [**]. For purposes of this Section 5.3 (Termination for
Cause), an "Other Default" of Amdocs shall mean the Default described in clause
(b) of Section 11.1.39 (Default) hereunder and an "Other Default" of Nextel
shall mean the Default described in clause (e) of Section 11.1.39 (Default)
hereunder.
5.4 EXTENSION OF SERVICES
In the event that the Agreement has been terminated by Nextel in
accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event that the Initial Term (or the
Term, in case of Renewal) has expired, Nextel may, at its sole option and
discretion prior to the applicable Termination Date, extend the effective date
of any such expiration or termination of the Term for up to [**] successive
periods of up to [**] each beyond the applicable Termination Date, upon at least
[**] prior, written notice to Amdocs. The Parties hereby acknowledge, for the
avoidance of doubt, that during any period of extension under this Section 5.4
(Extension of Services) all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
continue to apply, including but not limited to: (i) the Monthly Subscriber Fee
and Maintenance Fee and (ii) the CPSs and the imposition of Performance Credits
for Amdocs' failure to meet such CPSs, and the application of bonuses with
respect thereto.
5.5 TRANSFER ASSISTANCE (DISENTANGLEMENT)
5.5.1 DISENTANGLEMENT PROCESS
The Disentanglement process shall begin on the earlier of the
following dates: (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the end of the Initial
Term or of the Renewal Period, as the case may be; or (ii) the date a
Termination Notice is delivered by Nextel. During the Disentanglement process,
Amdocs shall perform certain services related to the transition of any
terminated Services to Nextel or Nextel's designee as described herein below
(the "Disentanglement Services"), including but not limited to, after the
Termination Date, certain continuation of the Services or any component thereof
(the "Continuation Services"). Amdocs' obligation to perform the Services, and
Nextel's obligation to pay for the Services in accordance with the terms set
forth in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, other than for the
Disentanglement Services including the Continuation Services, shall expire: (A)
at the end of the Initial Term or of the Renewal Period, as the case may be; or
(B) on the applicable Termination Date specified pursuant to Section 5 (Term,
Renewal and Termination); provided, however, that Nextel's obligation to pay for
Services rendered prior to such date, but not yet paid for in accordance with
the terms hereof, shall remain in effect subsequent to such date. After the
Termination Date, Amdocs shall provide the Disentanglement Services, including
the Continuation Services, as and to the extent reasonably requested by Nextel,
for up to six (6) months after the Termination Date (the "Initial
Disentanglement Period"), including any extensions thereof under Section 5.4
(Extension of Services) hereof (with the date on which Amdocs' obligation to
provide Disentanglement Services expires being referred to herein as the
"Expiration Date"); provided, however, that, upon ninety (90) days' prior
written notice, Nextel may extend such Expiration Date by an additional six (6)
month period (the "Additional Disentanglement Period"). Following the
Termination Date (i.e., during the Initial Disentanglement Period and the
Additional Disentanglement Period, if any), the CPSs shall remain in effect;
provided, however, that Amdocs shall not be subject to the application of any
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 31 -
Performance Credits, or entitled to earn any Bonuses (as such term is defined in
Schedule C (Creditable Performance Specifications (CPSs))), during either the
Initial Disentanglement Period or any Additional Disentanglement Period. Amdocs
and Nextel shall discuss in good faith a plan for determining the nature and
extent of Nextel's Disentanglement obligations and for the transfer of Services
in process, provided, however, that Amdocs' obligations under this Agreement to
provide all Disentanglement Services reasonably requested by Nextel shall not be
lessened, to the extent practicable. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in
the Agreement, all terms and conditions of the Agreement shall continue to apply
during the Initial Disentanglement Period and the Additional Disentanglement
Period, if any.
5.5.2 GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
Amdocs shall take all actions reasonably necessary to
accomplish, on the Termination Date, a complete transition of responsibility for
the Services being terminated from Amdocs to Nextel, or to any replacement
provider designated by Nextel, including the performance by Amdocs of all of the
obligations imposed upon it pursuant to this Section 5.5 (Transfer Assistance
(Disentanglement)), with no material interruption of or adverse impact on the
Services or any other services provided by Third Parties (collectively, a
"Disentanglement"). Prior to the Termination Date, Amdocs shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cooperate with Nextel and any new service provider and to
perform the Disentanglement Services requested by Nextel and otherwise promptly
take all steps required to assist Nextel in effecting a complete
Disentanglement. Amdocs shall perform the Disentanglement Services in accordance
with the manner in which it provides similar services to its similarly sized
customers. Nextel shall act reasonably in assisting Amdocs in Amdocs' fulfilling
its Disentanglement obligations as quickly as reasonably practicable, under the
circumstances. Amdocs shall provide all information regarding the Services or as
otherwise needed for Disentanglement. Amdocs shall provide for the prompt and
orderly conclusion of all work, as Nextel may reasonably direct, including
completion or partial completion of some projects, documentation of work in
process, and other measures to ensure an orderly transition to Nextel or
Nextel's designee, and Amdocs shall perform the Services in accordance with the
CPSs until the Termination Date. Upon Nextel's reasonable determination that
Amdocs has successfully performed all of Amdocs' obligations in connection with
Disentanglement as provided in this Section 5.5 (Transfer Assistance
(Disentanglement)), Nextel shall promptly provide Amdocs with written notice
that a Disentanglement satisfactory to Nextel has occurred ("Disentanglement
Notice"). If Nextel refuses to issue the Disentanglement Notice based on its
determination that Amdocs has not yet completed its Disentanglement obligations
provided in this Section 5.5 (Transfer Assistance (Disentanglement)), and Amdocs
disagrees with such determination, Amdocs may submit the matter to the
escalation procedures set forth in Section 3.7 (Dispute Resolution).
Irrespective of the passing of the anticipated Termination Date, Amdocs'
obligation to perform the Disentanglement shall not cease until the Expiration
Date.
5.5.3 SPECIFIC OBLIGATIONS
The Disentanglement shall include the performance of the
following specific obligations:
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY SEPTEMBER 26, 2000
CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT CONFIDENTIAL
BOSTON 2293071v3
- 32 -
(a) After delivery of the Termination Notice, the Parties
shall cooperate fully with one another to facilitate a smooth transition of the
Services from Amdocs to Nextel or Nextel's designated replacement provider. Such
cooperation shall include the provision (both before and after the Termination
Date) by Amdocs to Nextel of sufficient information available to Amdocs
(including all information then being utilized by Amdocs) to enable Nextel's
personnel (or that of Third Parties) who are reasonably skilled in the provision
of services similar to the Services, to fully assume and continue the provision
of the Services.
(b) Amdocs shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convey
or assign to Nextel (or its designee), any leases, licenses, and other
agreements (except facility and financing leases), to the extent permissible

include Amdocs' using commercially reasonable efforts to perform all obligations

Rate. Amdocs shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any and all
such Releases as soon after the Termination Date as possible. For a period of

Documentation for all upgrades or replacement software or hardware concurrently
with the installation thereof. If the Documentation relates to Third-Party
Standard Materials, Amdocs shall provide Nextel the Documentation then-currently
made available by the provider of the Third-Party Standard Materials. If the
Documentation relates to proprietary Amdocs Standard Materials, Amdocs shall
provide the then-available Documentation; if such then-available Documentation
is insufficient to allow persons who meet the standards required of Amdocs
personnel in this Agreement to understand and operate such proprietary Amdocs
Standard Materials, then Amdocs shall create sufficient additional Documentation
in a timely manner and provide it to Nextel at Nextel's expense, provided Amdocs
has used commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such expense.

Amdocs shall procure all of its hardware, software, systems,

that in no event shall Amdocs be required to indemnify Nextel if such failure or
alleged failure is due to errors inherent in the coding of the [**] software
program or an error by Nextel and not due to an act or failure to act of Amdocs.

jurisdiction over Amdocs' employees, with employer's liability of not less than

"Report") annually. The period to be covered by the Report shall be from October
1 to September 30 of each year in the Term. Amdocs shall deliver to Nextel five
(5) copies of the Report by December 15 of each year of the Term, beginning on
December 15, 2001. Amdocs shall provide Nextel a description of the control
objectives relating to the Services by May 31 of each year in the Term,
beginning May 15, 2001. Nextel will have [**] to review and modify the control
objectives and controls. Once Nextel has approved the control objectives and
controls relating to the Services ("Approved Control Objectives and Controls"),
the Approved Control Objectives and Controls will serve as the basis for the
control objectives and controls to be examined and tested by Amdocs' independent
auditors pursuant to this paragraph. In the event that Nextel incurs charges
from its independent auditors in connection with their audit of Nextel's
consolidated financial statements in excess of [**] [**] Dollars ($[**]) as a
direct result of additional audit procedures that they had to perform because of
inadequacies or findings identified in the Report that have not been adequately
addressed by Amdocs, including, but not limited to, control objectives and/or
controls that Nextel believes are necessary to ensure its desired level of
service that Amdocs has not identified and/or instituted, Nextel shall be
entitled to a reimbursement from Amdocs for all such costs. This paragraph does
not modify nor reduce in any manner Amdocs' independent auditors'
responsibilities under SAS 70.
(d) Amdocs shall promptly inform Nextel of any material
deficiencies, omissions, or irregularities in Nextel's requirements or in
Amdocs' performance of the Services that may come to Amdocs' Project Manager's
attention. To the extent that it is permitted by Third Parties without
additional cost, Amdocs shall furnish Nextel with all existing and future
research and development resources, such as published materials, and industry
studies conducted for or by Amdocs, that come to its attention and pertain to
the Services and that Amdocs believes would assist Nextel in setting its
policies or requirements under this Agreement; provided, that the requirement
contained in this sentence shall only apply to publicly available materials and
information.

Section 12.2 (Audits, Records).
(f) Amdocs shall provide to Nextel and its authorized
representatives who agree to be bound by obligations of confidentiality similar

pertinent portions of its records and books of accounts to enable Nextel
(through such independent auditors) to conduct appropriate validations
("Audits") of Amdocs' invoices to Nextel relating to the performance of
Services. Such records and reports shall be maintained by Amdocs at a principal
business office and Nextel, upon prior written notice, may examine and make
extracts of information and copy parts thereof to the extent necessary for
Nextel to validate the accuracy of Amdocs' invoices, at any reasonable time
during normal business hours. The Audits shall be for the purpose of validating

(Confidential Information).
(j) If an Audit demonstrates that Amdocs' invoices for the
Services for the audited period were not correct, Amdocs shall promptly credit
Nextel for the amount of any paid overcharges, or Nextel shall promptly pay
Amdocs for the amount of any undercharges. In the event that any Audit reveals
an overcharge greater than five percent (5%) for the audited period, Amdocs
shall pay the direct expenses associated with such Audit.

Event" expressly excludes the following: any event that Amdocs could reasonably
have prevented by testing, work-around, or other exercise of diligence,
including (but not limited to) any failure to provide Services in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement as a result of any power failure that
could have been prevented by access to redundant power supplies; any strike,
walkout, or other labor shortage that could have been prevented by automation of
functions necessary to provide the Services; any failure of any system,
facilities, or hardware that could have been prevented by testing, and any cause
or event caused by the negligence of a Party or a breach by a Party of this
Agreement.
(b) Neither Party will be liable for any default or delay in the
performance of its obligations (including but not limited to Default), to the
extent that such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by a Force
Majeure Event. However, the Party suffering the Force Majeure Event shall have a
duty to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event (to the extent such
Force Majeure Event does not prevent such mitigation) and shall not be entitled
to damages or reimbursement for its losses or additional costs suffered as a
result of the Force Majeure Event.
(c) If a Force Majeure Event is the material contributing cause of
a Party's failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder, such obligations,
after notification by such Party to the other Party, shall be deemed suspended
to the extent such obligations are directly affected by such Force Majeure
Event, until the Force Majeure Event has ended and a reasonable period of time
for overcoming the effects thereof has passed; provided, however, that if a
Force Majeure Event results in Amdocs being unable to perform during any period
any or all of the Services in accordance with the terms hereof, Nextel shall:
(i) not be required to pay for any such Services which Amdocs is unable to
perform; (ii) be entitled, without the payment of the fees described in Section

perform the Services in accordance with the terms hereof; (iii) be entitled to
benefit from a share of Amdocs' resources devoted to returning Amdocs to full
performance of all Services hereunder, that is [**] the share of such resources
that Amdocs allocates to other of its customers with whom it has agreements that
are similar to this Agreement; and (iv) have the right to terminate this
Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2.3 (Termination for Force
Majeure Event). Both Parties shall use their best efforts to minimize delays

such disaster recovery services by Amdocs.

Roles and Responsibilities Matrices
Attached are the Interim Roles and Responsibilities Matrix and the
On-going Roles and Responsibilities Matrix (collectively, the "Roles and
Responsibilities Matrices"). Capitalized terms not defined in Roles and
Responsibilities Matrices shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
The Interim Roles and Responsibilities Matrix will apply to the time period
until first roll-out, and for all activities associated with the continued
roll-out of additional markets, but does not apply to the on-going maintenance
of each market, once converted. The Ongoing Roles and Responsibilities Matrix
will apply to activities associated with on-going maintenance of each market,
once converted.]. The level of each Party's responsibility with respect to each
of the obligations set forth in the Roles and Responsibilities Matrices is
specified by the insertion of the letter "O", "P" or "V" adjacent to such
obligation and beneath such Party's name. The letter "O" indicates that a Party
"owns" overall and ultimate accountability for completion of a task. The letter
"P" indicates that a Party has a "Participation" role with respect to a task,
and that a Party designated "O" may require such Party to provide certain
resources or perform tasks that may be necessary for the overall task to be
completed, in an amount that is commercially reasonable, under the
circumstances. Both parties will communicate in an on-going fashion when the "P"
is a necessity. The letter "V" indicates that a Party has "visibility" with
respect to a task, and that such Party has the right , but not the obligation,
to contribute, provide resources or review the process for completion of a task.
The absence of any letter indicates that a Party shall have no right to have an
input or any obligation with respect to a task.

II. MEASUREMENT STRUCTURE
Within [**]of the signing date, the Parties shall agree on the means of
measuring each CPS. Each CPS shall be measured using a "Blue-Green-Yellow-Red"
traffic light mechanism (the "Individual CPS BGYR State"), with "Blue"
representing the highest level of performance and "Red" representing the lowest
level of performance. Depending on the specific Individual CPS BGYR State, [**]
Also, on a monthly basis, an overall CPS score (the "Overall CPS Score") will be
determined, by assigning points to each CPS based on its Individual CPS BGYR
State and its Criticality Level (with a higher Overall CPS Score indicative of a
lower level of performance by Amdocs). The matrix set forth below describes the
methodology for computing the Overall CPS Score:

Red [**] [**] [**]
Further, in the event that, during any Measurement Period : (i) the [**] CPS has
averaged [**]% or less; (ii) the [**] CPS has averaged [**]% or less; (iii) the
[**] CPS has averaged [**]% or more over [**] seconds; or (iv) any billing cycle
has not been completed on or prior to the date which is [**] to its scheduled
completion date, then [**]points shall be added to the Overall CPS Score.
III. GRACE PERIODS
The Parties have agreed that for certain specified time periods (each a
"Grace Period") Amdocs' obligation to perform the Services in accordance with
some or all of the CPS will be suspended (such CPS referred to hereinafter as
the "Suspended CPS") upon the occurrence of certain events that the Parties
recognize will negatively impact Amdocs' ability to perform the Services in
accordance with the CPS ("CPS Suspension Events"). During the applicable Grace
Period, (i) Amdocs shall [**][**] with respect to any Suspended CPS and (ii) no
Suspended CPS [**] under Section 11.1.39 of the Agreement; provided however that
during any Grace Period Amdocs shall be required to perform the services
measured by such Suspended CPS in a timely, accurate and professional manner.
Set forth below is a table summarizing the CPS Suspension Events and the related

The foregoing table is subject to the following: (1) in determining the
applicable monthly charge per Subscriber to be applied, the provisions of
Section 1.10 (Nextel Parties) of the Agreement shall apply; (2) during the year
[**], for any Subscribers being billed through TRIS, in determining the per
Subscriber rate under the ITDS Contract to be applied to such TRIS Subscriber
volume, Nextel shall be given credit for the Subscriber volume processed and
billed through the Customized Product (reference is hereby made to the example
herein below of calculation of the Monthly Subscriber Fee); (3) the rates listed
above shall be fixed through the year [**] and, for the period starting on [**]
through the end of the Initial Term, the rates shall be [**], as the case may
be, [**] in the above
table; and (4) if Nextel requests Amdocs to provide billing statements for
delivery to Subscribers (as opposed to billing statements generated for testing
and verification purposes) using the Customized Product during the years 2000
and/or 2001, [**] (using the rate based on the total volume of all Subscribers),
such current rate is set forth in paragraph 11 below, [**].
The parties agree that the MSF shall be adjusted as of the beginning of any
Renewal Period as provided for in Section 5.1 (Initial Term; Renewals). In
addition, the Parties hereby agree that in the event that Nextel extends this

The Parties agree that the above [**] shall be applied on a pro-rated basis if
the Agreement is terminated before the end of any applicable calendar year.
Further, the amount, if any, by which the [**] paid by Nextel for any specific
calendar year exceeds the [**] for such year [**] may be carried forward and
offset against any [**] for any subsequent calendar year during the Term
(including any extensions thereof or Disentanglement Period) in which the [**]
paid by Nextel is less than [**] for such year.
Set forth below is an example to illustrate the calculation of the Monthly
Subscriber Fee (assuming no Rebilled Subscribers):
1. In a single month during 2002, assume the following:
- [**] Nextel Subscribers are converted and billed through the
Customized Product
- [**] subscribers are converted and billed through the Customized
Product
- [**] Subscribers are still not converted and being billed through
TRIS
2. For this single month during 2002, the Monthly Subscriber Fee would be
calculated as follows:
- The [**] for [**] Nextel [**] Subscribers would be $[**]
- The [**] for [**] Nextel Subscribers would be $[**]
- The [**] for [**] TRIS Subscribers would be $[**] (using the line of
the TRIS monthly charge per Subscriber table applicable for volumes
from 8,000,000 through [**] Subscribers)
- The [**] for [**] TRIS Subscribers would be $[**] (using the line of
the ITDS [**] per Subscriber table applicable for volumes in excess
of [**] Subscribers)

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
This document outlines the documentation framework for Nextel set of
documentation.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THIS FRAMEWORK
The purpose of the documentation framework is to:
- Provide a list of existing and future documents that have
been/will be provided to describe Nextel's system,
implementation, and conversion efforts.
- Reflect the current status of the project documentation.
- Outline general standards for writing project documentation
within the Nextel set.
- Serve as a guide for team members when allocating numbers for
new documents within the overall project documentation
framework established.
The document groups and books are often set up in accordance with
projected software modules and processes and do not always reflect
the actual features implemented and/or documented.
1.3 PRINCIPLES OF DOCUMENT SET ORGANIZATION
Documentation for a project is divided hierarchically into the
following subdivisions:
- A set includes all the documents describing a complete
system. The set is designated by the first two
characters of the document catalogue number.
- The set is divided into groups, with each major
documentation topic covered by a different group. For
example, a set might include a group on data entities,
another for functional descriptions, another for
technical descriptions, and so on. The third character
of the catalogue number of the document specifies the
group.
- The group is further subdivided into books. There is
normally one book for each subdivision of the
application. For example, in the group for functional
descriptions, there might be a book for each application
within the system. In the data group, there might be
separate books for database, tables, indexes. The next
two numbers of the catalogue number of the document
specify the book.
- The last two digits of the catalogue number specify the
document within the book. There might be several
documents within a book. For example, in the table book
of the data group, there might be a separate document
describing each table.
Each document constitutes an independent entity and is identified by
the document name. In addition, a unique number is allocated which
serves as the key in the main document table. This number is in the
SSGBBDD format, in which:
- SS is the set name
- G is the group number;
- BB is a two digit book number;
- DD is a two digit document number.
For example, this document is catalogued as XX10101; that is, it
belongs to the Nextel set, which describes the Nextel/BSO project.
It is in group 1 of that set, the general group. It belongs to book
one of the group, which is documentation. It is the first document
of the book, the document framework for the set and for the BSO
project.
1.4 TYPES OF DOCUMENTS
Documentation describing the various applications related to BSO can
be divided into the following types of documents:
- FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
The functional specifications document contains a complete
description of the functionality provided by the subsystem or
application described. Special logic, considerations, , information
handling processes, must be included in the document. The
specification does not, however, describe how this functionality is
to be implemented. For example, the functional specification might
describe the user input required to perform a particular
transaction; but it does not show the screen image or determine how
different fields will look or behave at the user interface.
- BUSINESS PROCESSES
The Business processes documents describe in high level and in
details how would Nextel use the system to conduct its business. The
processes describe the function to be achieved (e.g. activation,
name/address change, etc.), and how would an end-to-end flow work,
including inputs, steps conducted within the system, outputs and
specific instructions related to this activity.
- APPLICATION AND REFERENCE DATA MODEL (DB ENTITIES)
This set of documents include the following:
- Data Model General Description - This document
provides a high level description of the logical DB
structure. It provides a description of
the key entities in each area of the Data Model, the
relationships among these key entities and a diagram
reflecting these relationships. It is intended to
provide a high level explanation of how the data model
is organized to meet the business needs.
- Application Entities - These documents provide a
detailed description of the physical entities within the
DB. This includes all tables and all fields within a
table. It also includes the field type and length (e.g.
Char, Numeric etc.) ,valid values, foreign keys.
- Reference Table Entities - Same as application entities
for the system's reference tables.
- DETAILED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
This document contains the architecture and configuration for the
Nextel system. This includes the following:
- Nextel Production Hardware Configuration Solution,
including servers, disks space and terminal servers
- Nextel non-Production Hardware Configuration Solution
- LAN,WAN in the Data Center
- DRP
- Capacity projections supported (questioner)
- High availability guidelines
- Network configuration within Data Center(s) and into the
Data Center
- Nextel cellular network topology
Note: The last two bullets to be provided by Nextel.
- STRATEGY DOCUMENTS
These set of documents describe the strategy agreed upon both
parties in the various area of the project implementation. Each
strategy document contains:
- Definition of the task
- Agreed upon approach to the task
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Figures, numbers and dates - as applicable
The strategies documents cover the following areas:
- Training
- Conversion
- Migration
- Interfaces
- Testing
- REPORTS
This document provides information regarding the various
reports generated by the system. There is a chapter for each
report containing the following information:
- The purpose and function of the report.
- A detailed description of the parameters that might be
used for printing the report.
- A list of the fields in the report with an explanation
for those which are not self-explanatory.
- A detailed description of the report layouts.
- SCREENS
These documents describe the content of the application
screens, including field descriptions and screen layouts. The
documents also describe the checks and edits performed at the
user interface. Processes that run behind the interface are
normally described in the functional specification document.
- RUN BOOK
This document describes the batch processes in the system. It
provides a description of the system's batch processes,
inputs, outputs, short description of objectives of the
process, dependencies, run parameters and frequency of run.

Amdocs agree that a breach by Nextel of its obligations with regard to the

form of Exhibit B attached hereto and Amdocs may present this statement to
Third Parties and use it in any way it deems fit. The Parties agree that

not be construed to imply that Nextel does not believe that Amdocs has
committed any Default or breach hereunder, or to prohibit or restrict
Nextel's

TO THE CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SERVICES AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JANUARY 1, 2000
BETWEEN
NEXTEL FINANCE COMPANY ("NEXTEL")
AND
AMDOCS SOFTWARE SYSTEMS LIMITED ("AMDOCS")
Nextel and Amdocs have executed and are currently performing the Customer Care
and Billing Services Agreement dated as of January 1st, 2000, which has been
amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of March 15, 2001 and Amendment No. 2 dated
as of August 1, 2001 (the "CCBS Agreement"). Amdocs renegotiated certain
provisions, including but not limited to pricing, of the [**] Pass Through
Agreement (as defined in the CCBS Agreement) in order to make such agreement
more favorable to Amdocs' customers. Accordingly, the parties have agreed to
execute this amendment to the CCBS Agreement (the "Amendment") to reflect the
changes in the [**] Pass Through Agreement applicable to Nextel.
1. Section 4.4:
As of January 1, 2002 the following change to the CCBS Agreement shall be
effective:
The second sentence of Section 4.4 commencing with "Nextel shall pay Amdocs all
charges..." and ending with "...shall not apply to postage charges or deposited
amounts." is replaced with the following sentence:
"Nextel shall pay Amdocs all charges (including but not limited to

additional fixed amount will be increased by $[**] per each Subscriber

CCBS Agreement as of the Amendment Effective Date.
1. The CCBS Agreement shall hereby be amended by adding the following as Section
7A at the end of Section 7 of Schedule D:
DEFINITIONS

number for each wireless telecommunications device.
LOAD BALANCING - A change in billing cycles approved by Nextel and Amdocs
for specific BANs in order to improve the Customized Products processing
efficiency or to satisfy Nextel's business initiatives (e.g., consolidate
corporate accounts). Cycle changes requested by a Nextel customer for the
convenience of such customer (e.g. change of cycle billing date) are not
considered to be Load Balancing.
MULTI-NAM (Number Assignment Module) - Multi-NAM is a service offered by
Nextel that allows a customer to have different PTNs in different markets
on the same
wireless telecommunications device (e.g., a different PTN in Chicago and
New York), which results in an IMEI for each PTN. Each such IMEI/PTN
combination under the Multi-NAM service shall be considered a separate
Subscriber.
PTN - Personal Telephone Number
SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) - Identifies each subscriber to the

Calculation of the MSF.
(a) Amdocs shall invoice Nextel in the MSF for cancelled Subscribers up to but
not exceeding [**] from the date of cancellation. If, after the [**], there is

invoice Nextel for the MSF for the month in which the new billing activity

above provision.
For the purpose of calculating the MSF, a Subscriber shall be considered
as cancelled upon setting the field "STATUS_CODE" in the "BILL_SUBSCRIBER"
table of the Customized Products to a value of "C".
(b) As the Customized Product invoices cancelled Subscribers for up to [**]
beyond their cancellation date, and in order to comply with the provisions of

charges and adjustments will be set to [**], but only for the purpose of the
above compliance. In the event that Subscribers are moved to an alternative xxxx
cycle as a result of Load Balancing, Amdocs shall invoice Nextel for those
Subscribers only once in any given month.
(d) If, at the expiration of the [**] period after cancellation for a given
cancelled Subscriber, the BAN containing that Subscriber has no active
Subscribers but still has an outstanding balance due or a credit, and that
balance or credit is not in a "Written-Off" status in the Customized Products,
then for the purpose of such invoicing, Amdocs will consider this BAN as having
a single Subscriber until such time as the balance or credit is "Written-Off",
or the balance becomes zero as a result of a payment being applied or a credit
balance being refunded. Amdocs will not invoice Nextel for BANs marked as
"Written-Off" or "cancelled with zero balance", and is entitled to close and
archive these BANs from the Customized Products after [**] from the "Write-Off"
or cancellation date.
