Whereas, Telava and affiliates owns and operates a communications network and is
in the business of providing communications services to other entities; and
Whereas, Customer desires to purchase from Telava certain services available through
the Telava network;
Whereas, Telava is willing to sell such services to Customer according to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Conferencing Agreement;
Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the two parties agree as follows:
1. SERVICES AND PRICING.
1(a) CHARGES AND PAYMENT TERMS. Customer
agrees to pay Telava Wireless, Inc (“Telava”) for conferencing services and solutions
(“Services”) according to the terms of service and at the listed rates as set forth
in the Services and Pricing of the Customer Sales Order Form (“CSOF”) attached to
and hereby incorporated into this Conferencing Agreement. Charges for use of Services
are invoiced at the end of each month, and payments are due upon receipt of invoice.
Past-due balances shall be subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month computed
from the due date of each invoice previously issued, or the maximum rate legally
permitted, whichever is less. Customer shall pay any collection costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other expenses incurred by Telava to collect any
sums due under this Conferencing Agreement. Customer must notify Telava of any charge
disputed in good faith, with supporting documentation, within 30 days from the date
of invoice, or Customer will be deemed to agree to such charges and no adjustments
to charges or invoices will be made. Customer remains responsible to pay undisputed
charges by the due date.
1(b) CREDIT CHECKS; TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES.
The provision of Services under this Conferencing Agreement is subject to credit
verification and acceptance by Telava. Telava reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to change or institute new or additional charges and/or fees for access to or use
of Services (including for ancillary services) at any time. Further, Telava may,
in its sole discretion, request advanced payment, in whole or in part, from Customer
or change its payment terms at any time. Telava may cancel or re-schedule orders
if Telava determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer’s financial condition
or previous payment record so warrants such change. Customer shall pay, and Telava
reserves the right to collect in arrears, all sales, use, excise or other taxes,
fees or charges of any nature whatsoever, now or hereafter imposed or assessed on
Telava, by any federal, state, county or local government authority upon or with
respect to the Services provided.
2. TERM AND TERMINATION.
2(a) TERM. Services shall commence
upon the Service Commencement Date as agreed upon by the parties, in writing, and
shall continue for a minimum term of twelve (12) months, unless a different term
is specified by the parties on the Services and Pricing of the CSOF (“Initial Term”),
with one year renewal terms continuing indefinitely thereafter (each a “Renewal
Term”). Either party may terminate this Conferencing Agreement at the end of a term
by providing written notice to the other party of such termination at least 60 days
prior to the end of such term. At the commencement of any Renewal Term, the rates
for Services provided pursuant to this Conferencing Agreement shall automatically
adjust to ‘Telava’ then-standard rates.
2(b) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. CEither
party may terminate this Conferencing Agreement at any time in the event that the
other party breaches any provision of this Conferencing Agreement in any material
respect and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receipt of written notice
of such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Telava may terminate this Conferencing
Agreement and/or suspend the provision of Services immediately for: illegal, fraudulent
or improper use of the Services (including without limitation Customer’s use of
the Services in contravention of Section 6) or if deemed reasonably necessary by
Telava to prevent interruption or disruption to Telava’ network, its business or
other customers; if any portion of an invoice remains unpaid when due; or for breach,
not subject to cure. Telava shall not be liable to Customer or any third party should
Telava exercise its right to discontinue Services, in whole or in part, or terminate
this Conferencing Agreement pursuant to this Section 2(b).
2(c) EARLY TERMINATION BY CUSTOMER.
In the event that Customer terminates this Conferencing Agreement (not due to breach
by Telava) or if Telava terminates on account of Customer’s breach, Customer shall
pay to Telava as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty and representing a reasonable
estimate of the probable loss to Telava, a termination charge equal to the Minimum
Monthly Charge multiplied by the number of months in the term less any payments
for actual usage made by Customer during the term of this Conferencing Agreement;
provided, however, no payments over and above the Minimum Monthly Charge for any
one month shall apply to or in any way be credited against any other, past or present,
Minimum Monthly Charge or the overall shortfall amount for the term of the Conferencing
Agreement.
Telava has no control over the content of information transmitted by Customer through
the Services (whether visual, written or audible) and that Telava doe not examine
the use to which Customer puts the Services or the nature of the information Customer
or Customer’s users send or receive. Customer shall comply with all applicable foreign,
federal, state and local laws relating to its use of the Services under this Conferencing
Agreement (including without limitation, export and control laws and regulations).
Customer agrees not to transmit content through use of the Services that infringes
any third party’s intellectual property rights or that is unlawful, threatening,
abusive, harassing, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy,
vulgar, obscene or otherwise contains objectionable material of any kind or nature.
Customer is responsible: (i) for any and all activities that may occur under your
account and (ii) to maintain the confidentiality and security of its Services’ access
numbers, keys and passcodes. Customer agrees to notify Telava immediately if there
has been an unauthorized use of any access numbers, keys and passcodes or any other
breach of security and Customer shall be liable for fraudulent charges until such
time as Customer has notified Telava to suspend any compromised access numbers,
keys and/or passcodes. Customer acknowledges that Telava may from time to time monitor
the Services for quality assurance and fraud detection. Further, and notwithstanding
confidentiality provisions herein, Telava may disclose information about Customer’s
use of Services to satisfy any law, regulation, government agency request, court
order, subpoena or other legal process.
Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold Telava, its officers, directors, employees,
affiliates and its suppliers harmless from any claims, losses, damages, penalties
or costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ or expert witness fees)
arising out of: (i) Customer’s use of the Services; (ii) Customer’s violation or
alleged violation of any applicable laws or regulations with respect to the Services;
or (iii) infringement of any intellectual property rights of any third party. The
obligations contained in this paragraph shall survive any termination or suspension
of the Services contemplated herein, the expiration or termination of this Conferencing
Agreement, and shall also survive final payment.
4. WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
All Services provided under this Conferencing Agreement are provided on an “as is”
And “AS AVAILABLE” basis, and Telava shall not have any liability to any party,
including but not limited to Customer, for the content of information transmitted

of such communications. Telava DISCLAIMS any AND ALL representations, warranties
or covenants, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied
warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement

OR ERRONEOUS TRANSMISSION OF DATA; ACCURACY OF DATA; UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE
OF VOICE OR DATA PROCESSED OR TRANSMITTED BY, TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICE; OR PROGRAM
ERRORS) EVEN IF TELAVA IS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Telava shall not be liable for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of,
its obligations under this Conferencing Agreement caused by reasons beyond Telava’
control. In no event shall Telava’ total liability to Customer arising under this
Conferencing Agreement, whether such theory of liability is based in contract, tort
or otherwise, exceed an amount equal to the charges by Telava to customer for the
particular service performed by Telava during the one month period immediately prior
to the date of event, act or omission giving rise to the liability.

illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms of this Conferencing Agreement
shall not be affected or impaired thereby, and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most
closely matches the intent of the original provision and the allocation of risk.

the parties to comply with any of the obligations, agreements or conditions set
forth in this Conferencing Agreement may be waived by the other party, but any such
waiver must be in writing signed by the waiving party and will not be deemed a waiver
