RESALE SOLUTIONS SWITCHED SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into by and between SPRINT
COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY L.P. ("Sprint"), and Telegroup, Inc. ("Customer").
Sprint and Customer are "Parties" hereto.
In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Parties agree as
follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms appearing in bold print are defined in
Exhibit 1.
2. CONFIDENTIALITY. During the Term and thereafter, neither Party shall
disclose any terms of this Agreement, including pricing, or Proprietary
Information of the other Party. Proprietary Information shall remain the
property of the disclosing Party. A Party receiving Proprietary Information
shall: (i) use or reproduce such information only when necessary to perform
this Agreement; (ii) provide at least the same care to avoid disclosure or
unauthorized use of such information as it provides to protect its own
Proprietary Information; (iii) limit access to such information to its
employees or agents who need such information to perform this Agreement; and
(iv) return or destroy all such information, including copies, after the need
for it has expired, upon request of the Disclosing Party, or upon termination
of this Agreement.
Because of the unique nature of Proprietary Information, a breach of this
paragraph may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be
inadequate compensation. Accordingly, in addition to other available
remedies, a Party may seek injunctive relief to enforce this paragraph.
3. TERM. If this Agreement is executed by Sprint prior to the first day
of the month, then the Term shall commence on the first day of the following
month; otherwise, the Term shall commence on the first day of the second month
following the month in which it is executed by Sprint. The Term will continue
after commencement for the period specified in Attachment A.
4. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.
4.1 A Party may terminate this Agreement upon the other Party's failure to
cure any of the following within 30 days following written notice thereof: (a)
the (i) insolvency, corporate reorganization, arrangement with creditors,
receivership or dissolution of the other Party; or (ii) institution of
bankruptcy proceedings by or against the other Party; (b) assignment or
attempted assignment of the Agreement or any interest therein, except as
permitted by Paragraph 24 hereof; (c) change in control of the defaulting
Party without the other Party's prior written consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld; (d) a final order by a government entity with
SPRINT PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - RESTRICTED
appropriate jurisdiction that a Service or the relationship hereunder is
contrary to law or regulation; or (e) breach of any provision herein not
otherwise referred to in Paragraph 4.
4.2 Sprint may terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice if
Customer fails to cure a breach as provided in Paragraph 8 or breaches a
provision of Paragraph 17 or 18.
4.3 Customer may terminate the Agreement upon 30 days written notice if
special rate adjustments exceed the maximum provided in paragraph 16.
4.4 Upon termination of this Agreement a Party may recover from the other
all sums it is owed at the time of termination.
5. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE; EARLY TERMINATION CHARGE.
5.1 Customer may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause upon 90
days prior written notice to Sprint and payment to Sprint of the Early
Termination Charge in Subparagraph 5.2.
5.2 Service will be discontinued the first business day of the fourth month
after such notice of termination.
5.3 Carrier Transport Base Rates and Promotional Discounts are based on
Customer's agreement to purchase Service for the entire Term. It is difficult
if not impossible to calculate Sprint's loss if Customer terminates the
Agreement pursuant to Subparagraph 5.1 prior to the end of the Term.
Therefore, to compensate Sprint for such loss, and not as a penalty, Customer
shall pay Sprint an Early Termination Charge in the event of such termination.
The Early Termination Charge shall equal 50% of the sum of the Minimum
Commitment for each month remaining in the Term when Service is discontinued
pursuant to Subparagraph 5.1. The Early Termination Charge shall be paid
within 30 days after the notice provided pursuant to Subparagraph 5.1.
6. APPLICATION OF TARIFFS; INTERSTATE ADJUSTMENT.
6.2 Interstate and international Service shall be provided pursuant to
Tariff as supplemented by this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between
this Agreement and any Tariff, the Tariff shall control.
6.2 Intrastate Service is provided pursuant to Tariff in every respect.
Promotional Discounts will not apply to intrastate Service. An Interstate
Adjustment may be applied based on intrastate usage as provided in Attachment
D. The Interstate Adjustment shall be based on intrastate usage at the
Product Hierarchy Level and will equal the difference between (a) such usage
priced at Tariff less Tariff discounts and (b) such usage priced at the
Interstate Adjustment Rate in Attachment D less Discount One discounts. The
Interstate Adjustment for a given month shall not exceed interstate billing
for such month.
SPRINT PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - RESTRICTED
6.3 Customer shall pay all Tariff charges including, without limitation,
fixed charges, feature charges, enhanced 800 charges, access facility charges,
installation and other non-recurring charges.
6.4 Sprint may modify or withdraw Tariffs from time to time, which may
include discontinuation of any Service without Sprint's liability.
7. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Neither this Agreement nor the provision of
Service creates a joint venture, partnership or agency between Sprint and
Customer. Customer is the service provider with respect to End Users. Sprint
is merely a supplier to Customer with no relationship to End Users.
8. USE OF NAME AND MARKS. This Agreement confers no right to use the name,
service marks, trademarks, copyrights, patents or CIC of either Party except
as expressly provided herein. Neither Party shall take any action which would
compromise the registered copyrights or service marks of the other.
Sprint's name is proprietary and nothing herein constitutes a general license
authorizing its use. Customer may not (a) promote or advertise Sprint's name
or capabilities to End Users or prospective End Users; (b) attempt to sell its
service using Sprint's name; or (c) represent to End Users or prospective End
Users that they would be Sprint customers or that they may obtain Sprint
service from Customer.
Sprint shall provide Customer written notice of a breach of this paragraph.
Customer shall use its best efforts to immediately cure such breach, advising
Sprint of its actions. If, in Sprint's opinion, Customer fails to effect a
cure within 30 days of Sprint's notice, then Sprint may, at its option,
terminate the Agreement pursuant to Subparagraph 4.2.
Sprint's provision of Network Extension Service may result in End Users being
notified by their LEC that Sprint is their designated PIC. Therefore, to
avoid confusion and potential "slamming" complaints, Sprint hereby authorizes
Customer to use Sprint's name under the following conditions to provide End
Users from whom Customer has obtained a PIC Authorization with a fulfillment
piece containing the following Notice (the "Notice"):
We want to affirm how ___ will provide your long distance service.
Although ___ will provide your invoice and customer service, we use major
national carriers to actually carry your long distance calls.
After subscribing to our service, you may receive a notice from your
local phone company which says that your long distance "Carrier of
Choice" is Sprint. _____ has selected Sprint as the long distance
network provider it will use to handle your calls. That selection was
based on your quality and price requirements. If you have any questions
about your order, please call our toll free customer service number, 1-
00-___-____.
If Customer subscribes to Sprint Express, calls placed by End Users to the
Sprint ITFS number will be answered "Sprint operator." This may cause
confusion if the End User does not know its calls are being carried on the
SPRINT PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - RESTRICTED
Sprint network. Therefore, to avoid such confusion, Sprint hereby authorizes
Customer to provide End Users who use Sprint Express with a fulfillment piece
containing the following notice (the "Sprint Express Notice"): "International
call origination may be provided by a Sprint operator." Sprint may withdraw
consent to use the Sprint Express Notice upon 10 days written notice.
Customer shall obtain Sprint's prior written approval of any fulfillment piece
in which the Notice or the Sprint Express Notice will appear.
9. SERVICE. Services provided hereunder are described in Exhibit 2.

and regulatory authority necessary to operate as contemplated herein and (b)
it will not submit an End User ANI for activation without obtaining and

10.2 If, in Sprint's opinion, Customer breaches this paragraph, Sprint may
(a) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Subparagraph 4.1(e), (b) reject End
User ANIs submitted by Customer for placement under its account, and/or (c)
discontinue Promotional Discounts. If Sprint elects option (b) or (c), it
will resume accepting ANIs and/or reinstate Promotional Discounts only after
Customer produces evidence satisfactory to Sprint that it has cured its
breach.
11. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES.
11.1 Customer shall not be relieved of any obligation hereunder by virtue
of the fact that Service is ultimately used by End Users.
11.2 Customer shall produce for Sprint's inspection, at Customer's expense,
any PIC Authorization within 48 hours after Sprint's oral or written request,
or within any shorter period required by a LEC or regulatory agency. If
Customer fails to comply with this subparagraph then Sprint may (a)
discontinue Promotional Discounts and/or (b) refuse to activate additional
ANIs under a Customer's account.
11.3 Customer shall reimburse Sprint for any charge assessed by a LEC for
processing a PIC request initiated by Customer and pay Sprint a PIC Assessment
Fee equal to 25% of such charge.
11.4 Customer shall be solely responsible for End User solicitation,
service requests, creditworthiness, customer service, billing and collection.

User ANI activated by Sprint until such ANI is presubscribed to another IXC.
