NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Cellular Technical Services
Company, Inc. (the "Company"), including the December 31, 1995 balance sheet
which has been derived from audited financial statements, have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period's
financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. The
operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 and Forms 10-Q for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively.
NOTE B - CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is involved in legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary
course of business. It is the opinion of management that such litigation will
be resolved without a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity results
of operations or its financial position.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Prior to the current period, the Company's revenues had been primarily
derived from the Company's Hotwatch-Registered Trademark- Platform and
related application products and services ("Hotwatch Products") and, to a
lesser extent, phone rental products which are no longer being marketed by
the Company. To address the wireless communications industry's increasing
need for a product to more effectively combat cloning fraud, a major industry
problem, the Company has developed the Blackbird-Registered Trademark-
Platform and related application products and services ("Blackbird
Products"). The Blackbird Platform has been engineered with an open
architecture design to allow the Company and others to develop application
products which could run on or exchange information with it.
In 1995, the Company began conducting trials for the purpose of testing and
evaluating the Blackbird Products. Since that time, the Company has signed
contracts with AirTouch Cellular ("AirTouch"), Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile
("BANM"), GTE Mobilnet of California, L.P. ("GTE") and Ameritech Mobile
Communications, Inc. ("Ameritech") to install the Blackbird Products.
During the current period, the Company recorded its first substantial
revenues from two of the contracts noted above. Revenue recognition for the
Company's systems is based upon performance criteria which vary from customer
to customer and product to product. Physical hardware and software delivery,
definitions of system delivery, and customer acceptance are generally the
significant factors used in determining revenue recognition. As a result of
such performance criteria, only a portion of the system revenues and the
majority of the system costs are recorded during the early stages of a system
deployment. Accordingly, revenues and direct margins recorded by the Company
can be expected to be lower in earlier periods of deployment and inconsistent
from quarter to quarter, especially during the initial deployments under new
contracts. The resulting deferral of revenue will be recorded in subsequent
periods as the performance criteria specified in the applicable contract is
met.
Page 6
In addition, the Company has incurred substantial operating expenses during
the early deployments, primarily in the areas of sales and marketing,
installation and customer support, and in research and development.
Moreover, the Company expects that its costs and expenses will continue to
increase in the future, due to a continual need to expend substantial monies
on research and development, enhanced sales and marketing activities, and
expansion of customer support capabilities needed to service its products.
The Company's revenue and customer base is currently concentrated among a few
large domestic cellular carriers due to the significant concentration of
ownership and/or control of cellular licenses. As the Company expands its
domestic and international marketing efforts, and as the wireless
communications industry expands beyond cellular telephony to include other
wireless communication services, the Company believes that it will be able to
diversify its revenue and customer base. The Company's success in exploiting
these expanded markets and in achieving profitability will depend, among
other things, on its ability to make its existing and future technology
commercially acceptable, recognize and successfully adapt to the rapid
changes in the wireless communications industry (including the anticipated
growth of digital services) and enhance and expand its manufacturing
activities concurrent with its growth.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited financial data and the notes thereto included in Item 1. of this
Quarterly Report and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and Forms 10-Q for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.
Total revenues increased 460% to $10,449,930 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 from $1,866,404 for the three months ended September 30, 1995
and the Company had net income of $54,230 , or $.00 per share, compared to a net
loss of $1,183,421, or $.06 per share, for the three months ended September 30,
1995. The improvement in operating results was primarily attributable to the
initial deployment of the Company's Blackbird Products in the BANM and AirTouch
markets, as previously discussed.
Systems revenues are generated from licensing and sales of the Company's
proprietary software and hardware products, from the sale of third party
equipment sold in support of the proprietary systems, and to a lesser extent,
fees earned associated with the installation and deployment of such systems.
Systems sales revenues increased 871% to $10,256,842 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 from $1,056,857 for the three months ended September 30,
1995.
Revenues from Blackbird systems amounted to $9,660,000 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996 and were derived from sales under the agreements
with BANM and AirTouch. There were no corresponding revenues during the three
month period ended September 30, 1995.
Revenues from Hotwatch systems decreased 32% to $577,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 from $850,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1995. These revenues principally originate from agreements with three
customers - the AWS Axys agreements and the AWS Hotwatch Products agreement
(collectively, the "AWS Agreements") between the Company and AT&T Wireless
Services, Inc. ("AWS"), a license agreement ("LIN/ACC Agreement") between the
Company and collectively LIN Broadcasting Company ("LIN") and American
Cellular Communications ("ACC"), subsidiaries of AWS and BellSouth Cellular,
respectively, and a license agreement with 360DEG. Communications Company
(formerly Sprint Cellular Company) ("360DEG. CC"). The decrease in revenues
from Hotwatch systems is primarily due to non-recurring third party equipment
sales recorded during the 1995 period associated with the initial deployment
of the Hotwatch Products into certain 360DEG. CC markets and due to the
non-recurring license sale to a LIN/ACC market in 1995.
Service revenues are derived primarily from maintenance, system monitoring and
related professional services provided in support of the Company's currently
deployed product base. Service revenues decreased 76% to
Page 7
$193,088 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $809,547 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995. This decrease is primarily due to
approximately $511,000 of non-recurring Hotwatch programming services and
initial Blackbird Product evaluation revenues recorded during the 1995
period. The Company anticipates that service revenues during the remainder
of 1996 will increase above the amounts recorded during the three month
period ended September 30, 1996 as a result of the initial deployment of the
Company's Blackbird systems.
Costs of systems and services are primarily comprised of the cost of proprietary
and third party equipment, amortization of capitalized software development
costs, integration and manufacturing overhead costs incurred in the preparation
and deployment of such systems, and professional service overhead costs incurred
to provide ongoing systems support. Cost of systems and services increased 545%
to $7,809,833 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $1,211,432 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995. This increase is primarily due to
the direct costs of Blackbird systems sold during the 1996 period that amounted
to approximately $6,825,000. Costs of systems and services, as a percent of
total revenues, were 75% and 65% for the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively.
The increase in 1996 is attributable to: (i) the higher hardware component
costs of system sales for Blackbird Products as compared to Hotwatch Products,
and (ii) deferred revenues that will be recognized in future quarters in
accordance with the Company's revenue recognition practices discussed in the
overview section above.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 48% to $822,921 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 from $556,263 for the three months ended September 30,
1995. This increase is primarily attributable to personnel and related costs
incurred in connection with the Company's increased efforts to generate demand
for its products and the costs incurred during both pre- and post-sales
Blackbird contract activities. To a lesser extent, variable sales incentive
compensation contributed to the 1996 increased expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased 9% to $460,424 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996 from $422,766 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 principally due to increased personnel related costs
associated with the continued expansion of the Company's business.
Research and development expenditures include the costs for research, design,
development, testing, preparation of training and user documentation, and
fixing and refining features for the software and hardware components
included in the Company's current and future product lines. Research and
development costs increased 35% to $1,349,264 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 from $999,654 for the three months ended September 30,
1995 primarily due to continued and expanded investment in the Blackbird
Products. Software development costs of $357,000 and $505,000 were
capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 1996 and September
30, 1995, respectively, and related primarily to the development of the
Blackbird Products. Capitalized development costs declined during the three
months ended September 30, 1996 primarily due to an increase in
non-capitalizable research, design, and maintenance activities associated
with the Blackbird Products. Including capitalized software development
costs, and contract design and development costs recorded as costs of
services, gross research and development costs increased 7% to $1,711,000 for
the three month period ended September 30, 1996. This increase is
principally attributable to prototype development expenditures associated
with the Company's proprietary hardware and legal fees expended to protect
the Company's intellectual property both in the United States and abroad.
Interest income decreased 63% to $46,742 for the three months ended September
30, 1996 from $125,290. The decrease was attributable to lower average cash
balances invested at lower average interest rates for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1995
Total revenues increased 58% to $13,995,533 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 from $8,882,172 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the
Company had a net loss of $4,436,767, or $.20 per share, compared to a net loss
of $447,784, or $.02 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
While the increase in revenues is attributable to the Company's recording its
first substantial revenues for its Blackbird Products, the decline in operating
results was primarily attributable to: (i) inconsistent contract revenue
streams from the Hotwatch Products, (ii) increased efforts and expenditures in
both sales and marketing and research and
Page 8
development of the Blackbird Products, and (iii) lower system sales margin
resulting from higher initial costs and contract revenue deferrals associated
with early Blackbird system sales (as discussed above).
Systems revenues increased 96% to $13,246,362 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $6,762,048 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Revenues from Blackbird systems amounted to $10,207,000 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996 and were derived from sales under the agreements
with BANM and AirTouch. There were no corresponding revenues during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1995.
Revenues from Hotwatch systems decreased 53% to $2,897,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from $6,195,000 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995. Revenues during both periods were primarily derived from
sales under the AWS, LIN/ACC and 360DEG. CC Agreements. Amounts recorded
during the period ended September 30, 1995 included non-recurring revenues of
approximately $1,522,000 under the AWS Agreements and $1,172,000 under the
360DEG. CC Agreement. Additionally, sales under the LIN/ACC Agreement
decreased 31% to $639,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996
which is consistent with previously disclosed expectations.
Service revenues decreased 65% to $749,171 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 from $2,120,124 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This
decrease is primarily due to approximately $1,090,000 of non-recurring
programming service and Blackbird system evaluation revenues recorded during the
1995 period.
Cost of systems and services increased 179% to $10,493,795 in 1996 from
$3,755,452 in 1995. This increase is primarily due to the direct costs of
Blackbird systems sold during the 1996 period that amounted to approximately
$7,868,000. Costs of systems and services, as a percent of total revenues, was
75% and 42% for the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively. The increase in 1996
is attributable to: (i) the higher hardware component of system sales for
Blackbird Products as compared to Hotwatch Products, (ii) deferred revenues that
will be recognized in future quarters in accordance with the Company's revenue
recognition practices discussed in the overview section above, and (iii) a
higher percentage of Hotwatch software license fee revenues in 1995, which had
no corresponding hardware costs.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 41% to $2,320,433 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from $1,644,027 for nine months ended September 30,
1995 as a result of increased personnel and related costs incurred in connection
with the Company's increased efforts to generate demand for its products and the
costs incurred during both pre- and post-sales Blackbird contract activities.
General and administrative expenses increased 34% to $2,130,652 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 from $1,584,553 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. Amounts recorded in the nine months ended September 30,
1996 included approximately $400,000 incurred during the second quarter with
regard to the Company's proposed public offering which was subsequently
withdrawn due to unfavorable stock market conditions. Additional amounts
recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 included additional
personnel related and overhead costs associated with the continued expansion of
the Company's business.
Research and development costs increased 37% to $3,702,213 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from $2,696,756 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 primarily due to continued and expanded investment in the
Blackbird Products. Software development costs of $1,073,591 and $1,393,847
were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
September 30, 1995, respectively, and related primarily to the development of
the Blackbird Products. Capitalized development costs declined during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 primarily due to an increase in
non-capitalizable research, design, and maintenance activities associated
with the Blackbird Products. Including capitalized software development
costs, and contract design and development costs recorded as costs of
services, gross research and development costs increased 4% to $4,756,000 for
the nine month period ended September 30,
Page 9
1996. This increase is principally attributable to additional legal fees
expended to protect the Company's intellectual property both in the United
States and abroad.
Interest income decreased 39% to $214,793 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 from $350,832. The decrease was attributable to lower average cash
balances invested at lower average interest rates for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's capital requirements have consisted primarily of funding
software development, property and equipment requirements, working capital
and the Company's operating losses. The Company has historically funded
these requirements through issuance of Common Stock (including proceeds from
the exercise of warrants and options) and from operating profits in certain
periods. On September 30, 1996 the Company's cash balance was $3,794,682 as
compared to $9,448,255 on December 31, 1995. The Company's working capital
decreased to $8,302,637 at September 30, 1996 from $11,093,831 at December
31, 1995.
Cash used by operating activities amounted to $5,902,107 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, as compared to cash provided by operating
activities of $167,235 during the same period in 1995. This increased
utilization of cash resulted primarily from the increased loss for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in
1995, and to a lesser extent, the net changes in the balances of working
capital components; (i) accounts receivable increased as a result of the
initial Blackbird System revenues, (ii) the Company continues to increase its
proprietary Blackbird hardware inventory to meet anticipated sales demand for
Blackbird Products during the latter part of 1996 and beyond, (additional
inventory at September 30, 1996 in an amount exceeding $4,000,000, was on
order), (iii) the increase in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities
reflects the increased level of inventory purchases and operating expenses
associated with the expansion of the Company's operations, and (iv) the
increase in deferred revenue and customer deposits reflects billings and/or
cash received in advance of revenues recognized. During the early stages of
deploying the Blackbird contracts discussed above, the Company may experience
uneven cash flow and operating results. These factors originate from the
deferred revenue recognition and payment terms contained in these contracts.
Cash utilized by investing activities totaled $1,988,780 and $2,674,969 during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively.
The Company's capital requirements during such periods were (i) software
development, particularly with respect to the Blackbird Products and (ii)
property and equipment, primarily for furniture, leaseholds, and equipment
associated with expanding the Company's business. These expenditure levels are
expected to continue in 1996 and 1997 at or above the current levels. At
September 30, 1996, the Company had no significant commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company, as part of its growth strategy, would consider the
cost/benefit of purchasing software technology in the event that an attractive
opportunity arises.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, cash provided by
financing activities was generated from the exercise of stock options issued to
the Company's directors, officers and employees. Proceeds from these activities
totaled $2,237,314 and $2,863,073 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
In November 1996, the Company sold 400,000 shares of common stock to
investors in a private placement with proceeds to the Company approximating
$6,500,000. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement for the
resale of such shares.
Also, in November 1996, the Company obtained a $5,000,000 line of credit from a
major bank. The line, which is secured by all personal property of the Company,
bears interest at the prime rate plus 3/4% and expires September 30, 1997.
Page 10
The proceeds from the stock sale and the line of credit will be used to fund
the Company's growth and provide additional working capital. No funds have
been drawn on the line of credit as of this date.
The Company expects to continue to incur substantial expenses in support of
research and development activities, growth of its sales and marketing
organization, support for new products and the anticipated expanded customer
base, enhancing the hardware design and manufacturing processes and
administrative activities. The Company believes that cash flow anticipated from
its operating activities, existing cash balances, proceeds from the stock sale
(as described above) and cash available under the line of credit (also discussed
above), are sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.

Customer plans to install new or additional switching equipment or software
for its switch, or data networking or other equipment or software, or if
Customer is informed by its provider of switching, interconnection, or other
equipment or software that new or additional equipment or software will be
installed, Customer will notify CTS in writing if such installation could
reasonably be expected to adversely affect a System, as soon as reasonably
possible prior to such installation (but at a minimum Customer will provide
such advance notice as Customer customarily provides other vendors who
interface with its cellular networks). In such notice, Customer will specify
in detail the changes and their effects, if known, and will cooperate with
CTS in determining such effects as soon as practicable after such notice,
and, in any event, prior to such installation. After receipt of the notice
described above, and so long as Customer is not in breach or default under
this Agreement, CTS will use commercially reasonable efforts to determine
whether any modifications are required to the affected System due to any such
new or additional equipment or software and, if such modifications are
required, CTS will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the same on
such terms and conditions and for such additional fees as the parties may
mutually agree to in writing. Except as the parties otherwise expressly
agree to in writing: (a) the performance warranties set forth in Subsections
11.2 and 11.3, below, will not apply if any Components are materially and
adversely affected by any of the new or additional equipment or software
described in this Subsection; and (b) the warranties set forth in Subsection
11.4, below, will not apply to the System if its performance at the time of
testing under SCHEDULE I is materially and adversely affected by any of the

this Subsection, the warranties set forth in Section 11, below, applicable
the affected System shall be suspended upon such disconnection and remain
suspended until such System is either reconnected in accordance with
CTS-approved policies and procedures, or is certified by CTS to be
appropriately reconnected and operating in proper working order. If any
repair, replacement, relocation, connection, or disconnection of a Component
of a System performed by Customer or its agent is not performed in accordance
with this Agreement, the Support Agreement, and CTS-approved policies and
procedures, then: (a) the warranties set forth in Subsections 11.2 and 11.3,
below, applicable to such Component shall automatically terminate if such
action by Customer materially and adversely affects such Component; and (b)
the warranties set forth in Subsection 11.4, below, applicable to such System

shipment of such Components. In addition, either party may reschedule all or
any part of an Implementation Schedule upon written notice to the other party
not less than ten (10) days prior to any scheduled item on the Implementation
Schedule affected by such rescheduling. No shipment or scheduled item on an
Implementation Schedule may be rescheduled to a time later than thirty (30)
days from the initially scheduled time without the express written consent of
both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. If in CTS's opinion any
rescheduling affects other scheduled shipments or installations of
Components, CTS may reschedule such other shipments or installations as is
reasonable given the circumstances. Customer shall pay CTS's out-of-pocket
costs and expenses attributable to any rescheduling by or due to the fault of
Customer, as set forth in Section 9. CTS shall pay Customer's out-of-pocket
costs and expenses attributable to any rescheduling by or due to the fault of
CTS.
6.2 DELAYS BEYOND REASONABLE CONTROL. If any Component
shipped from CTS is lost or damaged during shipment, CTS will use reasonable
efforts to reschedule a replacement shipment to meet the applicable
Implementation Schedule. CTS shall not be liable for delays in any
Implementation Schedule or any other delivery, shipment, installation, or
acceptance testing of Components due to delays beyond its reasonable control.
In the event of any such delay, all scheduled items on any Implementation
Schedule and other deliveries, shipments, installations, and acceptance
testing of Components affected by such delay shall be extended for a period
equal to the period of the delay, except as the parties otherwise expressly
agree to in writing. If any delivery of Components material to a System is
delayed in excess of [*] due to no fault of CTS, then the exclusive remedy of
Customer shall be the right to cancel any outstanding Market Purchase
Agreement affected by such delay.
7. ACCEPTANCE.
7.1 ACCEPTANCE TESTING. After installation of the initial
configuration of a System within a given Licensed Market, representatives of
CTS and Customer will perform acceptance testing upon the System in

conclusion of the Acceptance Testing Period, Customer shall complete and
execute a copy of the Acceptance Test Plan, which shall state with
specificity any aspects of the System's performance which do not materially
perform in accordance with the Acceptance Test Plan. The System will be
deemed accepted by Customer if: (i) the Acceptance Test Plan completed and
executed by Customer does not specify any such non-conformities; (ii)
Customer does not complete, execute, and deliver to CTS an Acceptance Test
Plan specifying any such non-conformities within [*] after the expiration of
the Acceptance Testing Period; (iii) Customer commences commercial use of
the System (I.E., use of the System in connection with Customer subscribers)
after conclusion of the Acceptance Testing Period; or (iv) in the event of a
dispute as to the performance of the System, an executive panel of the
parties or an arbitration panel concludes that the System is materially
performing in accordance with the Acceptance Test Plan, as provided in
Subsection 7.3, below.
7.2 CORRECTION OF NON-CONFORMITIES. If the Acceptance Test Plan
described in Subsection 7.1, above, specifies aspects of an initial System's
performance which do not materially perform in accordance with the Acceptance
Test Plan (and if the System is not otherwise deemed accepted by Customer under
Subsection 7.1, above), then, within ten (10) days after CTS's receipt of such
executed Acceptance Test Plan, CTS will submit to Customer a written action
plan, which will outline CTS's proposed course of action for resolution of the
non-conformities and a timetable for re-testing the System in accordance with
Subsection 7.1, above. Within ten (10) days after CTS's submission of the
proposed action plan, the parties will agree on a final action plan, and CTS
will thereafter work diligently to implement such final action plan. Customer
will make available to CTS all resources and facilities reasonably necessary to
implement the final action plan, and will fully cooperate with CTS's efforts.
Upon the conclusion of a re-testing period specified in the final action plan,
Customer shall complete and execute a copy of the Acceptance Test Plan (or final
action plan) in the manner specified in Subsection 7.1, above. The provisions
of Subsection 7.1, above, shall apply to determine whether the System is deemed
accepted by Customer after such re-testing. If CTS is unable to correct the
non-conformities within the timetables and retesting periods described in the
final action plan so that the initial System materially performs in accordance
with the Acceptance Test Plan, then Customer may, at its election, terminate the
License and the obligations of the parties hereunder as it applies to such
System by providing CTS with written notice of termination within thirty (30)
days after expiration of the timetables and re-testing periods described in the
final action plan.
7.3 RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES OVER ACCEPTANCE.
7.3.1 The parties agree to settle any dispute arising
out of the acceptance testing provisions described in this Section 7 through
consultation and negotiation in good faith and in the spirit of mutual
cooperation. Accordingly, if, after the conclusion of any Acceptance Testing
Period or re-testing period described in this Section 7, the parties dispute
whether the initial System is materially performing in accordance with the
applicable Acceptance Test Plan, the parties agree to meet to try to resolve
the dispute within fourteen (14) days after one party delivers a written
request for a meeting to the other party. Such meeting shall be attended by
individuals with decision-making authority to attempt, in good faith, to
negotiate a resolution of the dispute prior to pursuing other available
remedies. If, within fourteen (14) days after such meeting, the parties have
not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, then either party
may commence arbitration under Subsection 7.3.2, below, by delivering a
written demand for arbitration to the other party.
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 9
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
7.3.2 If either party commences arbitration in the
manner described above, the dispute will be subjected to binding arbitration
before a panel of three (3) independent arbitrators. Such arbitration shall
be held in [*], in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as modified to be consistent
with this Subsection. Such arbitrators shall be selected by mutual agreement
of the parties, or failing such agreement within fourteen (14) days after
delivery of the original written demand for arbitration, each party shall
select one arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators shall mutually agree
upon the selection of a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days from
delivery of the original written demand for arbitration. The arbitrators
shall have the authority to require the submission (at a hearing or
otherwise) of such documents, information, testimony, and other items as the
arbitrators may deem necessary to make a fair and reasonable decision.
Within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the arbitrators, the
arbitrators will render a written decision. The arbitrators shall be limited
to addressing the issues in dispute arising out of the acceptance testing
provisions described in this Section 7 and interpreting the applicable
provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Market Purchase Agreement in
connection with such issues. The parties agree that the System shall be
deemed accepted for purposes of this Agreement if the arbitrators conclude
that the System is materially performing in accordance with the applicable
Acceptance Test Plan. A judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof and shall constitute
a final adjudication of all matters submitted to arbitration. The
arbitrators shall, as part of their written decision, award attorneys' fees
and related expenses in accordance with Subsection 16.11, below. The costs
of all arbitration services, however, shall be shared equally by the parties.
7.4 APPLICATION TO SUBSEQUENT INSTALLATIONS. The provisions
of this Section 7 shall also apply to the acceptance of Components installed
on a System after the initial installation of such System, except that: (i)
CTS and Customer shall first test the newly-installed Components and
subsequently test the System after integration of the newly-installed
Components; (ii) Customer may reject such newly-installed Components in the
manner described in Subsection 7.1; (iii) CTS shall correct any
non-conformities in the manner described in Subsection 7.2; and (iv) if CTS
does not correct such non-conformities within the designated timetables and
re-test periods, then Customer may terminate the obligations of the parties
only with respect to such newly-installed Components.
7.5 [*]. CTS and Customer agree to [*] described in
Subsection [*].
8. TRAINING, SUPPORT, AND OTHER SERVICES.
8.1 TRAINING SERVICES. For the initial deployment of a System
within a Licensed Market, CTS will provide training classes for Customer as
set forth in the attached SCHEDULE F and in accordance with the initial
Implementation Schedule for such System. Upon request, CTS will provide
additional training upon such terms and conditions and for such Fees as the
parties may mutually agree to in writing.
8.2 SUPPORT SERVICES. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
CTS will offer software and hardware maintenance services, System monitoring
services, and software subscription services for each System, pursuant to the

breach or default under this Agreement or if Customer fails to promptly
notify CTS in writing upon discovery of such errors or malfunctions. For all
other Hardware components purchased from CTS, CTS will pass through to
Customer the warranties that CTS receives from its vendor for such Hardware
components, to the extent that such vendor will honor such warranties for

System is shown to constitute the infringement; (ii) use of the System in
combination or conjunction with any item not furnished by CTS, unless the use
of the System is shown to constitute the infringement when not used in

any and all Third Party claims brought against CTS arising from the operation
of the cellular networks or other business activities of Customer, except to
the extent that any Third Party claim is based on: (i) the subject matter

5.3.2 or 12.2.1, above, for which Customer is obligated to defend and indemnify
CTS; PROVIDED THAT: (a) Customer promptly delivers written notice of such claim
to CTS, together with copies of all related court documents involving such

authority to defend and settle such claim.
13. PROSECUTION OF INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, Customer shall promptly notify CTS in writing of any facts of
which Customer is aware which might constitute an infringement by any Third
Party of any of CTS's Intellectual Property Rights. CTS shall have the
exclusive right to take all actions, control all litigation or other
proceedings, and negotiate and enter into all settlements with respect to any
such infringement, as CTS deems necessary or appropriate to protect CTS's
Intellectual Property Rights, except as CTS and Customer may otherwise agree to

action, will belong entirely to CTS. CTS will have no obligation to institute

TO
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
SPECIFICATIONS
This Schedule contains the functional Specifications for a System as
required by the Master Purchase and License Agreement between CTS and
Customer (the "Agreement"). All undefined capitalized terms used in this
Schedule shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in the
Agreement. Each overall System is comprised of one or more Regional
Processor Systems and Cell Site Systems.
BLACKBIRD-Registered Trademark- PLATFORM AND PRETECT-TM-
APPLICATION FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
Together, the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform and PreTect-TM- form a
home market cloning prevention solution, in which the Blackbird-Registered
Trademark- Platform collects cellular phone data that PreTect-TM- measures
and uses to interdict analog cellular phone cloning attempts in real time.
BLACKBIRD-Registered Trademark- PLATFORM OVERVIEW
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform is the data collection and storage
platform for CTS's real time cellular fraud prevention applications.
Using hardware and software at the Cell Site System (CSS) and Regional Processor
(RP), the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform collects and stores the
following cellular call data that form a cellular call event signature, or
"fingerprint":
- Radio frequency (RF) transmission characteristics: The subtle
differences between different cellular phones' RF signatures.
- Mobile Identification Number (MIN): The unique phone number assigned
a cellular phone.
- Electronic Serial Number (ESN): The unique number programmed into a
cellular phone during the manufacturing process.
- [*]
CTS designed the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform as a platform for
delivery of a modular system of cellular fraud prevention applications. The
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform Application Programming Interface (API)
facilitates seamless integration of current and future CTS products to meet the
changing fraud prevention requirements of its customers.
PRETECT-TM- OVERVIEW
PreTect-TM- is the real time cloning detection and interdiction application
designed to function on the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform.
PreTect-TM- works to prevent cloning fraud.
Over time, PreTect-TM- uses the information collected and stored by the
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform to build a unique fingerprint for each
analog cellular phone. PreTect-TM- also measures each call attempt transmitted
to a cell site against this fingerprint. This real time measurement process
allows PreTect-TM- to quickly determine whether the attempt originated from a
cloned analog cellular phone.
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 28
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Users access PreTect-TM- through a Graphical User Interface on Hewlett
Packard X-terminals or IBM PC-compatible computers running X-terminal
emulation software. Through the graphical user interface, users can [*]
Through the graphical user interface, users can configure PreTect-TM- to meet

Finally, [*]. This allows customer service and fraud prevention departments to
better utilize the data storage and analysis capabilities of the
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform/PreTect-TM- system:
- [*]
SYSTEM HARDWARE OVERVIEW
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform/PreTect-TM- system includes the
following hardware systems:
The Regional Processor(s) complex consists of one or more Regional Processors,
routers and other hardware necessary to store cellular call data and maintain
connectivity between the Cell Site System and regional processor system.
- Regional Processor: Typically a Hewlett Packard 9000 series processor
running the HP-UX operating system.
- Router: Typically a CISCO 7000 series router used to provide TCP/IP
Ethernet connectivity between the regional processor and each cell
site.
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform and PreTect-TM- software work with
the regional processor system to provide real-time call data collection, storage
and reporting. In addition, the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform's
distributed real-time message processing allows distribution of fingerprint data
among multiple regional processor systems in large markets.
The Cell Site System (CSS) consists of the cell site processor, radios and other
equipment necessary to collect cellular call data, communicate with the regional
processor system and shut down, or interdict, cloning attempts. One CSS is
required for each cell site that uses the Blackbird-Registered Trademark-
Platform/PreTect-TM- system.
- Cell Site Processor (CSP): An industry-standard PC housed in an
industrial-grade metal enclosure, with a cellular modem for remote
network troubleshooting.
- Radio: Cellular radios which collect cellular call data directly from
the cell site antenna and transmit that data to the CSP without
interrupting cell site call traffic.
- Interdiction module: Hardware unit that performs interdiction of
cloning attempts upon command from the CSP. The interdiction module
will vary depending on the carrier's infrastructure type.
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- and PreTect-TM- software work with the CSS to
gather home market cellular call characteristics, relay information regarding
those characteristics to the regional processor when necessary, and perform
interdiction of cloning attempts.

CONFIDENTIAL DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is effective as of August 29, 1995, by and between GTE
Mobilnet Service Corp., GTE Mobilnet of California Limited Partnership and
GTE Mobilnet of Santa Barbara Limited Partnership (hereinafter collectively
called "GTE") and Cellular Technical Services Company, Inc., having an
address at 2401 Fourth Avenue, Suite 803, Seattle, WA 98121 (hereinafter
called "CTS").
WHEREAS, each party wishes to disclose to the other party certain
information relating to its proprietary technology, some of which information
the transmitting party deems to be confidential, and trade secrets; and
WHEREAS, each party is willing to receive from the other party such
information for the purpose of evaluating whether the parties wish to enter
into a business relationship between CTS and GTE, (the "Project").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants and promises herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. This Agreement shall terminate upon completion of the Project or four
(4) years from the effective date first stated above, whichever occurs first.
2. Confidential Information, as used herein, shall mean: (a) written or
documentary information which (i) relates to the above identified subject
matter, (ii) is received by one party directly or indirectly from the other
party, and (iii) is marked "Confidential" or "Proprietary Confidential", or
bears a marking of like import, or which one party states in writing at the
time of transmittal to or receipt by the other party is to be considered
confidential; and, (b) orally disclosed information which relates to the
above identified subject matter and which the transmitting party, within
twenty (20) days after the first oral disclosure thereof, confirms in a
writing delivered to the receiving party the confidential nature of such
orally disclosed information. Such writing shall be sufficiently specific to
enable the receiving party to identify the information considered to be
confidential. The transmitting party shall have the right to correct any
inadvertent failure to designate information as confidential or proprietary
by written notification to the receiving party as soon as practical (but in
no event later than ten (10) business days) after such error is determined by
the transmitting party. Upon receipt of such notification, the receiving
party shall, from that time forward, treat such information as Confidential
Information in accordance with this Agreement.
3. The term "Trade Secrets" as used in this Agreement shall mean
Confidential Information that:
(i) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being
generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by,
other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and
(ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the
circumstances to maintain its secrecy.
4. The terms "Confidential Information" and "Trade Secrets" do not
include, and the receiving party shall have no obligation with respect to
information, which:
(i) is already known to the receiving party at the time of the first
disclosure thereof to the receiving party as evidenced by prior documentation
or other tangible embodiments of such information thereof; or
(ii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the
receiving party; or
(iii) is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party
without restriction and without breach of this or any other Agreement, or
(iv) is approved for release by written authorization of an officer
of the transmitting party at the vice president level or higher.
The receiving party shall have the burden of proving the existence of any of
the exclusions described in this Section 4.
5. The Parties acknowledge and agree that as part of the evaluation of
the Project, the parties will obtain and have access to Confidential
Information and Trade Secrets of the other party and that the
misappropriation, unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential
Information or Trade Secrets would cause irreparable harm to the parties
to this Agreement. The parties agree to use the same degree of care to avoid
and prevent disclosure of any party's Confidential Information and Trade
Secrets as each party uses to prevent disclosure of its own Confidential
Information and Trade Secrets of a similar nature (which is in any event no
lesser standard than that which a reasonable person or business would utilize
with respect to its own similar trade secrets or confidential information).
6. With respect to any Confidential Information, each party agrees that
following the disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to this
Agreement, they shall not directly or indirectly use for any purpose
whatsoever or disclose any Confidential Information that the parties may have
or acquire in connection with the Project except as authorized in writing by
an officer (at the vice president level or higher) of the party to whom the
Confidential Information belongs.
7. With respect to any Trade Secrets, each party agrees not to use for
any purpose whatsoever or disclose the Trade Secrets of the other party at
any time hereafter except as authorized herein or until such Trade Secrets
become generally available to the public by independent discovery or
development or publication. The rights of the parties to protection of their
Trade Secrets in this Agreement are in addition to the rights which the
parties have under common or statutory law for the protection of Trade
Secrets.
8. The parties to this Agreement agree to disclose the other party's
Confidential Information or Trade Secrets only to their own employees and
affiliates directly involved in the evaluation of the Project with a need to
know. The receiving party shall be responsible for the failure of any of its
employees or affiliates to fully comply with all provisions of the Agreement.
Neither party hereto shall, internally or in conjunction with any other
person, reverse engineer, reverse compile or reverse assemble the
Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of the other party, or use such
Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for its own benefit or for the
benefit of others, for any purpose other than the purposes expressly
authorized herein in connection with the evaluation of technology described
in the Whereas Clauses, above. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"affiliate" shall mean any corporation, firm, partnership or other legal
entity which is owned or controlled by any of the parties hereto to the
extent of equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity interest
having the power to vote on or otherwise to direct affairs of the entity. The
party disclosing to an affiliate any Confidential Information and/or Trade
Secrets shall notify the affiliate of its obligations under this Agreement.
Each of the undersigned GTE entities shall be jointly and severably liable for
any breach of this Agreement by an affiliate of any of the undersigned GTE
entities.
9. The parties to this Agreement agree that all Confidential Information
or Trade Secrets of the transmitting party are the exclusive property of such
party and agree promptly to return to such party upon demand, all such
Confidential Information or Trade Secrets and copies thereof, furnished under
this Agreement which is either received in or reduced to material form.
10. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as (i)
requiring a party to disclose, or to accept, any particular information, or
(ii) granting to the receiving party a license, either express or implied,
under any patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property
rights now or hereafter owned, obtained, or licensable by the other party.
11. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices required
or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be valid and
sufficient if dispatched by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, in

Implementation Schedule or any other delivery, shipment, installation, or
acceptance testing of Components due to delays beyond its reasonable control
(but, in any event, the diversion of Components designated for Customer to
fill orders from other customers of CTS shall not constitute grounds for
acceptable delay). In the event of any such delay, all scheduled items on
any Implementation Schedule and other deliveries, shipments, installations,
and acceptance testing of Components affected by such delay shall be extended
for a period equal to the period of the delay, except as the parties
otherwise expressly agree to in writing. If any delivery of Components

within ten (10) days after CTS's receipt of such executed Acceptance Test
Plan or notice, CTS will submit to Customer a written action plan, which will
outline CTS's proposed course of action for resolution of the
non-conformities and a timetable for re-testing the Initial System in
accordance with Subsection 7.1, above. Within ten (10) days after CTS's
submission of the proposed action plan, the parties will agree on a final
action plan, and CTS will thereafter work diligently to implement such final
action plan. Customer will make available to CTS all resources and
facilities reasonably necessary to implement the final action plan, and will
fully cooperate with CTS's efforts. Upon the conclusion of a re-testing
period specified in the final action plan, Customer shall complete and
execute a copy of the applicable Acceptance Test Plan (or final action plan)
or notice in the manner specified in Subsection 7.1, above. The provisions
of Subsection 7.1, above, shall apply to determine whether the Initial System
is deemed accepted by Customer after such re-testing. If CTS is unable to
correct the non-conformities within the timetables and re-testing periods
described in the final action plan so that the Initial System performs in

the parties dispute whether the Initial System is performing in accordance
with the applicable Acceptance Test Plan, the parties agree to meet to try to
resolve the dispute within fourteen (14) days after one party delivers a
written request for a meeting to the other party. Such meeting shall be
attended by individuals with decision-making authority to attempt, in good
faith, to negotiate a resolution of the dispute prior to pursuing other
available remedies. If, within fourteen (14) days after such meeting, the
parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, then
either party may commence arbitration under Subsection 7.3.2, below, by
delivering a written demand for arbitration to the other party.
7.3.2 If either party commences arbitration
in the manner described above, the dispute will be subjected to binding
arbitration before a panel of three (3) independent arbitrators. Such
arbitration shall be held in [*], in accordance with the then-current rules
of the Center for Public Resources, Institute for Dispute Resolution, as
modified to be consistent with this Subsection. Such arbitrators shall be
selected by mutual agreement of the parties, or failing such agreement within
thirty (30) days after delivery of the original written demand for
arbitration, each party shall select one

EXCHANGE COMMISSION
arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators shall mutually agree upon the
selection of a third arbitrator within forty-five (45) days from delivery of
the original written demand for arbitration. The arbitrators shall have the
authority to require the submission (at a hearing or otherwise) of such
documents, information, testimony, and other items as the arbitrators may
deem necessary to make a fair and reasonable decision. Within sixty (60)
days after the appointment of the arbitrators, the arbitrators will render a
written decision. The arbitrators shall be limited to addressing the issues
in dispute arising out of the acceptance testing provisions described in this
Section 7 and interpreting the applicable provisions of this Agreement and
the applicable Market Purchase Agreement in connection with such issues. The
parties agree that the System shall be deemed accepted for purposes of this
Agreement if the arbitrators conclude that the System is materially
performing in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Test Plan. A
judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof and shall constitute a final adjudication
of all matters submitted to arbitration. The costs of all arbitration
services, however, shall be shared equally by the parties.
7.4 APPLICATION TO SUBSEQUENT INSTALLATIONS. The
provisions of this Section 7 shall also apply to the acceptance of Components
installed on a System after installation of the Initial System, except that:
(i) CTS and Customer shall only test the newly-installed Components as part
of a System in accordance with the terms of the Standard Acceptance Test
Plan; (ii) Customer may reject such newly-installed Components in the manner
described in Subsection 7.1; (iii) CTS shall correct any non-conformities in
the manner described in Subsection 7.2; and (iv) if CTS does not correct such
non-conformities within the designated timetables and re-test periods, then
Customer may, at its election, either: (a) terminate the obligations of the
parties only with respect to such newly-installed Components by providing CTS
with written notice of termination within thirty (30) days after expiration
of the designated timetables and re-testing periods, or within such other
time period as the parties mutually agree to in writing, or (b) retain such

EXCHANGE COMMISSION
12.1.2 Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, CTS shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, assigns and successors from and against any
losses, damages, liability, and expenses awarded by final judgment against
such indemnified persons as a result of an IP Claim, or, if any compromise or
settlement is made with respect to such IP Claim, CTS shall pay all amounts
agreed to by CTS in settlement of such IP Claim. CTS shall, at its expense,
defend and, at its sole discretion, settle any such IP Claim. Customer, at
its own expense, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any
suit or proceeding involving an IP Claim through counsel of its choosing.
However, CTS shall have at all times the full and complete authority to
defend and settle such IP Claim.
12.1.3 Customer shall provide CTS with
prompt written notice of any IP Claim, together with copies of all related
court documents involving such IP Claim. Customer's failure to provide
timely notice to CTS of any such IP Claim shall not relieve CTS from any
liability under this Subsection 12.1 with respect to such claim, to the
extent that CTS is not prejudiced by such failure. CTS shall keep Customer
advised of the status of any such IP Claim and of its defense and/or
negotiation efforts. Customer shall provide CTS with such information and
assistance for the defense of such IP Claim as is reasonably requested by CTS.
12.1.4 If, in any proceeding involving an IP
Claim, a System is held to constitute a violation, infringement, or
misappropriation of a Third Party's United States Intellectual Property Right
and use of such System is enjoined, or if in CTS's opinion any such
violation, infringement, or misappropriation is likely to occur, CTS, at its
option and expense, will either: (i) obtain the right for Customer to
continue use of the System by license, release from claim of infringement, or
by other appropriate means; (ii) modify the System to make it non-infringing
but continue to perform in accordance with the Specifications in all material
respects; (iii) replace the System with a non-infringing system of like
functionality which performs in accordance with the Specifications in all
material respects; or (iv) if election of any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)
are impractical in CTS's reasonable judgment, after using reasonable efforts
for a reasonable period of time under the circumstances, CTS may terminate
this Agreement and the License granted herein with respect to such System by
providing Customer with written notice of such termination. If, pursuant to
clause (iv) above, CTS terminates this Agreement and the License with respect
to a System, then (a) Customer shall, at CTS's request and expense, either
promptly return the System to CTS or destroy the same; (b) Customer shall be
entitled to a refund equal to the License Fees and Hardware Fees described in
SCHEDULE A which specifically pertain to such System and which Customer
actually paid to CTS, which refund CTS may reduce by a reasonable sum for
use, depreciation, and amortization [*]; and (c) each party shall release the
other party from all future payments and other obligations under this
Agreement and the Support Services Agreement with respect to such System,
except for the obligations described in this Subsection 12.1 and Subsection
14.4, below, and any other provision which by its terms survives termination
hereof. [*]
12.1.5 Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, CTS shall have no liability under Sections 11 or 12 of this
Agreement for any IP Claim which: (i) pertains to a System which has been
materially altered or modified by Customer or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, subcontractors, assigns or successors without CTS's prior
written approval, unless the use of an unaltered or unmodified version of the
System is shown to constitute an infringement; or (ii) pertains to any
Third-Party Software or Hardware (other than Cell Site Hardware purchased
from CTS for installation in Cell Sites) that is the sole basis of such
infringement.

Subsection 12.1 are Customer's exclusive remedies in connection with any IP
Claim.
12.2 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION.
12.2.1 Each party (the "Indemnifying Party")

directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties") from and against any losses, damages, liability, and
expenses awarded by final judgment against such Indemnified Parties arising
from any claim alleging injury to any person, including death, or damage to
property, including theft, to the extent directly resulting from the acts or
omissions of the Indemnifying Party or its officers, directors, employees,
agents, successors or assigns, whether negligent or otherwise, or, if any
compromise or settlement is made with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall pay all amounts agreed to by the Indemnifying Party in settlement
of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall, at its sole expense, defend
and, at its sole discretion, settle any such claim. The Indemnified Party,
at its own expense, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any
such claim through counsel of its choosing. However, the Indemnifying Party
shall have at all times the full and complete authority to defend and settle
such claim.
12.2.2 The Indemnified Party shall provide
the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of any of the claims
described in Subsection 12.2.1, above, brought against an Indemnified Party,
together with copies of all related court documents involving such claim. An
Indemnified Party's failure to provide timely notice to the Indemnifying
Party of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
liability under this Section 12.2 with respect to such claim, to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party is not prejudiced by such failure. The
Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party advised of the status or
any such claim and of its defense and/or negotiation efforts. The
Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information
and assistance for the defense of such claim as is reasonably requested by
the Indemnifying Party.
13. PROSECUTION OF INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS. CTS shall have
the exclusive right to take all actions, control all litigation or other
proceedings, and negotiate and enter into all settlements with respect to any
infringement of any of CTS's Intellectual Property Rights, as CTS deems
necessary or appropriate to protect CTS's Intellectual Property Rights,
except as CTS and Customer may otherwise agree to in writing. Customer
agrees to provide to CTS, at CTS's expense, reasonable information and
assistance in connection with the prosecution of such infringement as
reasonably requested by CTS. Any recovery of damages or attorneys' fees in
connection with any such action, or in settlement of any such action, will
belong entirely to CTS. CTS will have no obligation to institute suit
against any particular person or entity for infringement of any Intellectual
Property Rights of CTS.

agreed that CTS and Customer are acting hereunder as independent contractors
and under no circumstances shall any of the employees of one party be deemed
the employees of the other party for any purpose. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to constitute, create, or in any way be interpreted as a
partnership, joint venture, franchise, or other formal business organization
involving CTS and Customer, nor shall anything in this Agreement be deemed to
constitute one party the employee or agent of the other party. Neither CTS
nor Customer shall have any authority under this Agreement to bind, obligate,
or otherwise commit the other party to any agreement or transaction for any

EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Securities and Exchange Commission, any other governmental agency, any court
of competent jurisdiction, or applicable law or regulation.
16.5 ASSIGNMENT. Neither party shall assign any of
its rights or obligations hereunder (in whole or in part) without the express
written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may, upon notice to the
other party, assign this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations
hereunder (in whole but not in part) to any of its affiliates capable of
performing its obligations hereunder. Any attempt by any party to assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in violation

implied, by any party to or of any breach or default by the other in the
performance by the other of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or
construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in

governed by, subject to, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the

16.10 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The parties recognize
and agree that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of Sections
2.2 and/or 10, above, and further recognize that such breach would result in
irreparable harm to the party against whom such breach is committed.
Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any such
provision, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief
(without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) in
order to prevent or to restrain any such breach or threatened breach by the
party in breach or by any other persons directly or indirectly acting for, on
behalf of, or with the party in breach, and that neither the party in breach
nor such other persons will oppose the granting of such relief. Injunctive
relief pursuant to this Subsection shall be in addition to all remedies
available at law or in equity to a party arising from a breach of the
provisions described above by the other party.

SPECIFICATIONS
This Schedule contains the functional Specifications for a System as
required by the Master Purchase and License Agreement between CTS and
Customer (the "Agreement"). All undefined capitalized terms used in this
Schedule shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in the
Agreement. Each overall System is comprised of one or more Regional
Processor Systems and Cell Site Systems.
BLACKBIRD-Registered Trademark- PLATFORM AND PRETECT-TM-
APPLICATION FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
Together, the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform and PreTect-TM- form a
home market cloning prevention solution, in which the Blackbird-Registered
Trademark- Platform collects cellular phone data that PreTect-TM- measures
and uses to interdict analog cellular phone cloning attempts in real time.
BLACKBIRD-Registered Trademark- PLATFORM OVERVIEW
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform is the data collection and
storage platform for CTS's real time cellular fraud prevention applications.
Using hardware and software at the Cell Site System (CSS) and Regional
Processor (RP), the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform collects and
stores the following cellular call data that form a cellular call event
signature, or "fingerprint":
- Radio frequency (RF) transmission characteristics: The subtle
differences between different cellular phones' RF signatures.
- Mobile Identification Number (MIN): The unique phone number assigned a
cellular phone.
- Electronic Serial Number (ESN): The unique number programmed into a
cellular phone during the manufacturing process.
- [*]
- [*]
CTS designed the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform as a platform for
delivery of a modular system of cellular fraud prevention applications. The
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform Application Programming Interface
(API) facilitates seamless integration of current and future CTS products to
meet the changing fraud prevention requirements of its customers.
PRETECT-TM- OVERVIEW
PreTect-TM- is the real time cloning detection and interdiction application
designed to function on the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform.
PreTect-TM- works to prevent cloning fraud.
Over time, PreTect-TM- uses the information collected and stored by the
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform to build a unique fingerprint for
each analog cellular phone. PreTect-TM- also measures each call attempt
transmitted
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 31
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
to a cell site against this fingerprint. This real time measurement process
allows PreTect-TM- to quickly determine whether the attempt originated from a
cloned analog cellular phone.
Users access PreTect-TM- through a Graphical User Interface on Hewlett
Packard X-terminals or IBM PC-compatible computers running X-terminal
emulation software. Through the graphical user interface, users can [*]

Through the graphical user interface, users can configure PreTect-TM- to meet
the needs of daily operations on their cellular network:
[*]
Finally, users can [*]. This allows customer service and fraud prevention
departments to better utilize the data storage and analysis capabilities of
the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform/PreTect-TM- system:
[*]
SYSTEM HARDWARE OVERVIEW
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform/PreTect-TM- system includes the
following hardware systems:
Each regional processor complex consists of one or more processors, routers
and other hardware necessary to store cellular call data and maintain
connectivity between the Cell Site System and regional processor system.
- Regional Processor: Typically a Hewlett Packard 9000 series
processor(s) running the HP-UX operating system.
- Router: Typically a CISCO 7000 series router(s) used to provide TCP/IP
Ethernet connectivity between the regional processor and each cell
site.
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform and PreTect-TM- software work
with the regional processor system to provide real-time call data collection,
storage and reporting. In addition, the Blackbird-Registered Trademark-
Platform's distributed real-time message processing allows distribution of
fingerprint data among multiple regional processor systems in large markets.
The Cell Site System (CSS) consists of the cell site processor, radios and
other equipment necessary to collect cellular call data, communicate with the
regional processor system and shut down, or interdict, cloning attempts. At
least one CSS is required for each cell site that uses the
Blackbird-Registered Trademark-Platform/PreTect-TM- system. A single CSS
will [*].
- Cell Site Processor (CSP): An industry-standard PC housed in an
industrial-grade metal enclosure, with a cellular modem for remote
network troubleshooting.
- Radio: Cellular radios which collect cellular call data directly from
the cell site antenna and transmit that data to the CSP without
interrupting cell site call traffic.
- Interdiction module: Hardware unit that performs interdiction of
cloning attempts upon command from the CSP. The interdiction module
will vary depending on the carrier's infrastructure type.
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 32
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- and PreTect-TM- software work with the CSS to
gather home market cellular call characteristics, relay information regarding
those characteristics to the regional processor when necessary, and perform
interdiction of cloning attempts.

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 14th day of October, 1996,
between AMERITECH MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, doing
business as AMERITECH CELLULAR SERVICES ("ACS"), and CELLULAR TECHNICAL
SERVICES COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Company").
1. ACS and Company intend to disclose to each other information, which
may include confidential information, for purposes of evaluating a proposed
business relationship between the parties or for purposes of performing under
any actual business relationship or agreement between the parties. The term
"Confidential Information" shall mean any information or data which is
disclosed by a party to the other party under or in contemplation of this
Agreement and which (a) if in tangible form or other media that can be
converted to readable form, is clearly marked as proprietary, confidential or
private when disclosed, or (b) if oral, is identified as proprietary,
confidential, or private on disclosure and is summarized in a writing so
marked and delivered within thirty (30) days following such disclosure. The
parties agree that the disclosing party shall have the right to correct any
inadvertent failure to so identify or summarize information as confidential
or proprietary by providing written notification to the receiving party as
soon as practical after such error is determined by the disclosing party.
Upon receipt of such notification, the receiving party shall, from that time
forward, treat such information as "Confidential Information" in accordance
with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Confidential information may
be either the property of the disclosing party or information provided to the
disclosing party by a corporate affiliate of the disclosing party or by a
third party.
2. The parties agree that all information regarding subscribers of ACS,
including subscriber lists, MINs, ESNs, and usage information, and related
subscriber information and data, and all Call Data derived from calls
originating from ACS' cellular network, as defined in the Service Agreement
for Real-Time Prevention of Roaming Closing Fraud between the parties dated
as of the date hereof, is to be deemed ACS's Confidential Information
hereunder whether or not it is marked in accordance with Section 1 hereof.
3. This Agreement is intended to encompass the corporate affiliates of
both parties hereto. Consequently, affiliates of either party may disclose
Confidential Information to the other party or its affiliates, and affiliates
of either party may receive Confidential Information from the other party or
its affiliates. The terms "disclosing party" and "receiving party" shall
include affiliates of the parties hereto with respect to Confidential
Information disclosed or received by the affiliates. The rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall inure to the benefit of their
respective corporate affiliates and may be directly enforced by such
affiliates. Notwithstanding the above, each party shall be responsible for
any failure of any of its
affiliates to fully comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to
the other party's Confidential Information.
4. The receiving party acknowledges the economic value to the disclosing
party of all Confidential Information. With respect to Confidential
Information, the recipient shall:
(a) use the Confidential Information only for the purpose(s) set forth in
Section I above;
(b) restrict disclosure of the Confidential Information solely to those
employees of such party and its affiliates with a "need to know" and
not disclose it to any other person or entity without the prior
written consent of the disclosing party;
(c) advise those employees who gain access to Confidential Information of
their obligations with respect to the Confidential Information and
ensure that each such person fully complies with the terms of this
Agreement with respect to the disclosing party's Confidential
Information;
(d) make only the number of copies of the Confidential Information
necessary to disseminate the information to those employees who are
entitled to have access to it, and ensure that all confidentiality
notices set forth on the Confidential Information are reproduced in
full on such copies; and
(e) safeguard the Confidential Information with the same degree of care
to avoid unauthorized disclosure as recipient uses to protect its own
confidential and private information (but in any event no lesser
standard than that which a reasonable person would utilize with
respect to its own trade secrets or confidential information of a
similar nature).
For the purposes of this Agreement only, "employees" includes third
parties retained for temporary administrative, clerical or programming
support.
A "need to know" means that the employee requires access to the
Confidential Information in order to perform his or her responsibilities in
connection with the evaluation of a proposed business relationship between
the parties or performance under any actual business relationship or
agreement between the parties.
5. The obligations of Paragraph 4 shall not apply to any Confidential
Information which the recipient can demonstrate (i.e., the receiving party
shall have the burden of proving the existence of any of the following
exceptions):
(a) is or becomes available to the public through no breach of this
Agreement;
-2-
(b) was previously known by the recipient without any obligation to hold
it in confidence;
(c) is received from a third party free to disclose such information
without restriction;
(d) is independently developed by the recipient without the use of
Confidential Information of the disclosing party;
(e) is approved for release by written authorization of the disclosing
party, but only to the extent of and subject to such conditions as
may be imposed in such written authorization;
(f) is required by law or regulation to be disclosed, but only to the
extent and for the purposes of such required disclosure; or
(g) is disclosed in response to a valid order of a court or other
governmental body of the United States or any political subdivisions
thereof, but only to the extent of and for the purposes of such order;
provided, however, that the recipient shall first notify the
disclosing party of the order and permit the disclosing party to seek
an appropriate protective order.
6. When requested by the recipient, the disclosing party will provide a
non-confidential resume of Confidential Information prior to disclosure of
the actual Confidential Information to enable the recipient to determine
whether it can accept the Confidential Information. Each party has the right
to refuse to accept any information under this Agreement, and nothing
obligates either party to disclose to the other party any particular
information.
7. Each party acknowledges its obligation to control access to and/or

CTS's costs and expenses attributable to any rescheduling by or due to the
fault of Customer, as set forth in Section 9. CTS shall pay Customer's
out-of-pocket costs and expenses attributable to any rescheduling by or due
to the fault of CTS.
5.4 DELAYS BEYOND REASONABLE CONTROL. If any Component shipped
from CTS is lost or damaged during shipment, CTS will use reasonable efforts to
reschedule a replacement shipment to meet the applicable Implementation
Schedule. CTS shall not be liable for delays in any Implementation Schedule or

7. ACCEPTANCE.
7.1 ACCEPTANCE TESTING. After installation of the initial
configuration of a System within a given Market, CTS's representatives and
Customer's representatives will perform acceptance testing upon the System to
ensure that the System is properly installed and materially performing in
accordance with its Specifications. Such acceptance testing is set forth in:
(i) the Standard Acceptance Test Plan set forth in the attached Schedule E-1,
and (ii) the Acceptance Test Plan [*] set forth in the attached Schedule E-2
for certain [*] of the[*] in the New York Metro Market. Acceptance testing
will commence upon certification by CTS that the System is properly installed
and materially performing in accordance with its Specifications (the "Start
Date"). Thereafter, the parties will conduct acceptance tests using simulated
and/or actual data in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Test Plan set
forth in the attached SCHEDULE E for a period not to exceed (a) [*] from the
Start Date for testing under the Standard Acceptance Test Plan, and (b) the
applicable time period described in the Acceptance Test Plan [*] for testing
under such Acceptance Test Plan (each such testing period is referred to
herein as an "Acceptance Testing Period"). Upon the conclusion of an
Acceptance Testing Period, Customer shall complete and execute a copy of the
applicable Acceptance Test Plan, which shall state with specificity any
aspects of the System's performance which do not materially perform in
accordance with [*]. The System will be deemed accepted by Customer if: (i)
the applicable Acceptance Test Plan completed and executed by Customer does
not state any such non-conformities; (ii) Customer does not complete,
execute, and deliver the applicable Acceptance Test Plan stating any such
non-conformities to CTS within [*] after the expiration of any applicable
Acceptance Testing Period; or (iii) in the event of a dispute as to the
performance of the System, an executive panel of the parties or an
arbitration panel concludes that the System is materially performing in
accordance with the [*], as provided in Subsection 7.3.
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 9
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
7.2 CORRECTION OF NON-CONFORMITIES. If the applicable
Acceptance Test Plan described in Subsection 7.1, above, specifies aspects of an
initial System's performance which do not materially perform in accordance with
[*] (and if the System is not otherwise deemed accepted by Customer under
Subsection 7.1 (iii), above), then, within [*] after CTS's receipt of such
executed Acceptance Test Plan, CTS will submit to Customer a written action
plan, which will outline CTS's proposed course of action for resolution of the
non-conformities and a timetable for re-testing the System under the applicable
Acceptance Test Plan in accordance with Subsection 7.1, above. Within ten (10)
days after CTS's submission of the proposed action plan, the parties will agree
on a final action plan, and CTS will thereafter work diligently to implement
such action plan. Customer will make available to CTS all resources and
facilities necessary to implement the action plan, and will fully cooperate with
CTS's efforts. Upon conclusion of each re-testing period specified in the
action plan, Customer shall complete and execute a copy of the applicable
Acceptance Test Plan (or action plan) in the manner specified in Subsection 7.1,
above. The provisions of Subsection 7.1, above, shall apply to determine
whether the System is deemed accepted by Customer after such re-testing. If CTS
is unable to correct the non-conformities within the timetables and re-testing
periods described in the final action plan so that the initial System materially
performs in accordance with [*], then Customer may, at its election, terminate
the obligations of the parties hereunder as it applies to such System by
providing CTS with written notice of termination within thirty (30) days after
expiration of the timetables and re-testing periods described in the final
action plan. [*], except as the parties otherwise expressly agree to in
writing.
7.3 RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES OVER ACCEPTANCE.
7.3.1 The parties agree to attempt to settle any
dispute arising out of the acceptance testing provisions described in this
Section 7 through consultation and negotiation in good faith and in the
spirit of mutual cooperation. Accordingly, if, after the conclusion of the
acceptance testing procedures described in this Section 7, the parties
dispute whether the initial System is materially performing in accordance
with the applicable Acceptance Test Plan and the Specifications, the parties
agree to meet to try to resolve the dispute within fourteen (14) days after
one party delivers a written request for a meeting to the other party. Such
meeting shall be attended by individuals with decision-making authority to
attempt, in good faith, to negotiate a resolution of the dispute prior to
pursuing other available remedies. If, within fourteen (14) days after such
meeting, the parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the
dispute, then either party may commence arbitration under Subsection 7.3.2,
below, by delivering a written demand for arbitration to the other party.
7.3.2 If either party commences arbitration in the
manner described above, the dispute will be subject to expedited, binding
arbitration before one (1) independent arbitrator familiar with the wireless
telecommunications industry. Such arbitration shall be held in [*] pursuant to
the Center for Public Resources ("CPR") Rules in effect at the time of the
dispute. The arbitrator shall be selected by the joint agreement of the
parties, but if they do not so agree within fourteen (14) days after the date of
the notice referred to above, the selection shall be made by CPR pursuant to the
CPR Rules. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding
upon the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such award shall be
accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator giving the reasons for the
award. The arbitrator shall have the authority to require the submission (at
hearing or otherwise) of such documents, information, testimony, and other items
as the arbitrator may deem necessary to make a fair and reasonable decision.
The arbitrator shall be limited to addressing the issues in dispute arising out
o[f acceptance testing provisions described in this Section 7 and interpreting
the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Market Purchase
Agreement in connection with such issues. The parties agree that the System
shall be deemed accepted for purposes of
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 11
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
this Agreement and the applicable Market Purchase Agreement if the arbitrator
concludes that the System is materially performing in accordance with the
applicable Acceptance Test Plan and the Specifications. This provision for
arbitration shall be specifically enforceable by the parties and the decision
of the arbitrator in accordance herewith shall be final and binding and there
shall be no right of appeal therefrom. Each party shall pay its own expenses
of arbitration and the expense of the arbitrator shall be shared equally;
provided, however, that if in the opinion of the arbitrator any party's delay
in the arbitration process was unreasonable, the arbitrator may assess, as
part of the award, all or any part of the arbitration expenses of the other
party (including reasonable attorney's fees) and of the arbitrator against
the party causing such unreasonable delay. The findings of the arbitrator
shall not change the express terms of this Agreement unless such terms are
found to be illegal. In no event whatsoever shall such an arbitration award
include an award of punitive damages and the parties hereby waive the right
to recover punitive damages. All applicable statutes of limitation and
defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures
specified in this Section 7.3.2 are pending. The parties will take such
actions, if any, required to effectuate such tolling. The arbitration shall
be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as
amended. In the event of any conflict between the United States Arbitration
Act and the CPR, the CPR shall govern. ALL DISCUSSIONS AND DOCUMENTS
PREPARED PURSUANT TO ANY ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE UNDER THIS PROVISION
ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND FOR SETTLEMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND SHALL NOT BE ADMITTED
IN ANY COURT OR OTHER FORUM AS AN ADMISSION OR OTHERWISE AGAINST A PARTY FOR
ANY PURPOSE INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF FEDERAL AND STATE COURT RULES.
7.4 APPLICATION TO SUBSEQUENT INSTALLATIONS. The provisions of
this Section 7 shall also apply to the acceptance of Components installed on a
System after the initial installation of such System, except that: (i) CTS and
Customer shall first test the newly-installed Components and subsequently test
the System after integration of the newly-installed Components; (ii) Customer
may reject such newly-installed Components in the manner described in Subsection
7.1; (iii) CTS shall correct any non-conformities in the manner described in
Subsection 7.2; and (iv) if CTS does not correct such non-conformities within
the designated timetables and re-test periods, then Customer may terminate the
obligations of the parties only with respect to such newly-installed Components.
8. TRAINING, SUPPORT, AND OTHER SERVICES.
8.1 TRAINING SERVICES. For the initial deployment of a System
within a Market, CTS will provide training classes for Customer as set forth in
the attached SCHEDULE F and in accordance with the initial Implementation
Schedule for such System. Upon request, CTS will provide additional training
upon such terms and conditions and for such Fees as the parties may mutually
agree to in writing.

compliance with this warranty during the applicable warranty period,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that CTS shall have no obligation to repair or replace
such Hardware if Customer is in breach or default under this Agreement. If,
after investigation, CTS demonstrates that a reported error was not caused by
an error in the System as supplied by CTS, Customer shall pay CTS for its
costs of investigating the reported error at the then current rates of CTS.
11.4 [*] For each System within a given Market, CTS hereby
represents and warrants to Customer that the System, when used in conjunction
with Customer's properly-operating cellular network, when all relevant
Infrastructure and Environmental Requirements are satisfied, and when all
other terms and conditions set forth [*] are satisfied (and subject to all
assumptions contained therein), will [*] in accordance with the [*], for so

action plan, and CTS will thereafter [*]. The timetable set forth in the
final action plan [*], except as the parties otherwise expressly agree to in

OTHER ITEMS OR SERVICES COVERED BY OR FURNISHED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY (I) OF MERCHANTABILITY,
(II) OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR (III) ARISING FROM COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.

functionality or methods used [*], as a whole, as forming the basis of such
infringement; [*](ii) specifically identifies the Licensed Programs
(excluding the Third-Party Software), or the CTS-proprietary Hardware
purchased from CTS for installation in Cell Sites, as forming the basis of
such infringement.
12.1.2 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, CTS
shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its officers, directors,
employees, successors and assigns from and against any losses, damages, or
liability awarded by final judgment against such indemnified persons as a

notice of any IP Claim, together with copies of all related court documents
involving such IP Claim. Customer's failure to provide timely notice to CTS
of any such IP Claim shall not relieve CTS from any liability under this
Section 12.1 with respect to such claim, to the extent that CTS is not
prejudiced by such failure. CTS shall keep Customer advised of the status of
any such IP Claim and of its defense and/or negotiation efforts. Customer
shall provide CTS with such information and assistance for the defense of
such IP Claim as is reasonably requested by CTS.

* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
12.1.4 If, in any proceeding involving an IP Claim, a
System is held to constitute an infringement of a Third Party's United States
Intellectual Property Right and use of such System is enjoined, or if in
CTS's opinion any such infringement is likely to occur, CTS, at its option
and expense, will either: (i) obtain the right for Customer to continue use
of the System by license, release from claim of infringement, or by other
appropriate means; (ii) modify the System to make it non-infringing but
continue to perform in accordance with the Specifications [*] in all material
respects, and extend this indemnity thereto; (iii) replace the System with a
non-infringing system of like functionality which performs in accordance with
the Specifications [*] in all material respects, and extend this indemnity
thereto; or (iv) if election of either clause (i), (ii) or (iii) are
impractical in CTS's reasonable judgment after using reasonable efforts for a
reasonable period of time under the circumstances, CTS may terminate this
Agreement and the License granted herein with respect to such System by
providing Customer with written notice of such termination. If, pursuant to

depreciation, and amortization; and (c) each party shall release the other
party from all future payments and obligations under this Agreement and the
Support Services Agreement with respect to such System, except for the
obligations described in Subsection 14.4, below.
12.1.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, CTS
shall have no liability under this Agreement for any IP Claim which: (i)
pertains to a System which has been altered or modified without CTS's prior
written approval, unless the use of an unaltered or unmodified version of the
System is shown to constitute an infringement; or (ii) pertains to any
Third-Party Software or Hardware (other than CTS-proprietary Hardware

Customer's exclusive remedies in connection with any IP Claim.
12.2 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION.
12.2.1 Each party (the "Indemnifying Party") shall
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties") from and against any losses, damages, or liability
awarded by final judgment against such Indemnified Parties arising from any
claim alleging injury to any person, including death, or damage to property,
including theft, to the extent directly resulting from the acts or omissions
of the Indemnifying Party or its officers, directors, employees, agents,
successors or assigns, whether negligent or otherwise, or, if any compromise
or settlement is made with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall pay all amounts agreed to by the Indemnifying Party in settlement of

at its sole discretion, settle any such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall

exclusive right to take all actions, control all litigation or other
proceedings, and negotiate and enter into all settlements with respect to any
such infringement, as CTS deems necessary or appropriate to protect CTS's
Intellectual Property Rights, except as CTS and Customer may otherwise agree to
in writing. Customer agrees to provide to CTS, at CTS's expense, full and
complete information and assistance in connection with the prosecution of such
infringement as reasonably requested by CTS. Any recovery of damages or
attorneys' fees in connection with any such action, or in settlement of any such
action, will belong entirely to CTS. CTS will have no obligation to institute
suit against any particular person or entity for infringement of any
Intellectual Property Rights of CTS.

violates any of the provisions of Subsection 2.2 in any way without the prior

postage prepaid, and addressed as set forth on the signature page of this
Agreement. Such notices shall be deemed to have been given and delivered upon

on any return receipt card shall be conclusive evidence of receipt. Notices may
also be transmitted by facsimile or telecopy machine, and such notices shall be
deemed received when transmitted if: (i) a document is electronically generated

(ii) the party transmitting the notice deposits such notice the same day with a
reputable courier service providing delivery not later than the following
business day. Any party, by written notice to the other as above described, may

and Customer are acting hereunder as independent contractors and under no
circumstances shall any of the employees of one party be deemed the employees of
the other party for any purpose. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to

venture, franchise, or other formal business organization involving CTS and
Customer, nor shall anything in this Agreement be deemed to constitute one party
the employee or agent of the other party. Neither CTS nor Customer shall have
any authority under this Agreement to bind, obligate, or otherwise commit the
other party to any agreement or transaction for any purpose whatsoever.
17.3 EXCUSED PERFORMANCE. Except for the failure to pay Fees or
other charges when due hereunder, neither party shall be liable for, or be
considered to be in breach or default under this Agreement as a result of, any
delay or failure to perform as required hereunder which is due to any cause or
condition beyond such party's reasonable control.
17.4 PUBLICITY. Neither party shall disclose to any Third Party
the terms of this Agreement or the existence of this Agreement, or otherwise
publish any materials containing the other party's name or containing language
from which the connection of the other party's name could be reasonably inferred
or implied, without the express written consent of the other party; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that either party may make public announcements concerning the terms of
this Agreement or the existence of this Agreement, or otherwise publish any
materials containing the other party's name or
MASTER PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT PAGE 19
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
containing language from which the connection of the other party's name could
be reasonably inferred or implied, without such express written consent of
the other party if the announcement or publication is necessary for such
party to comply with the requirements of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission or applicable federal securities law or regulation. Each
party agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold its consent under this
Subsection if the announcement, publication, or disclosure is necessary for
the other party to comply with the requirements of any other governmental
agency, court of competent jurisdiction, or applicable law or regulation.
17.5 ASSIGNMENT. Neither party shall assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder (in whole or in part) without the express written consent
of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may, upon notice to the other party,
assign this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations hereunder (in whole
but not in part) to any of its affiliates capable of performing its obligations
hereunder or to any entity which acquires all or substantially all of such
party's assets or stock pursuant to any merger, stock or asset transfer,
consolidation, or other business combination. Any attempt by any party to
assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in
violation of this Subsection shall be considered void and shall be deemed a
material breach of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement
will be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
17.6 SUBCONTRACTORS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
CTS may in its discretion subcontract the performance of any of its obligations
hereunder or under any Market Purchase Agreement to any Third Party; PROVIDED,
that CTS's subcontractors shall perform to the same standards imposed upon CTS
hereunder and CTS shall be liable for the conduct of its subcontractors to the
same extent as CTS's own liability under this Agreement. Upon request, CTS will
provide Customer with a list of such subcontractors.
17.7 SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision hereof shall be
deemed invalid or unenforceable by any court or governmental agency of competent
jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and all
remaining provisions shall be afforded full force and effect as if such severed
provision had never been a provision hereof.
17.8 NO WAIVER. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by any
party to or of any breach or default by the other in the performance by the
other of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent
or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such other
party of the same or any other obligations of such party hereunder.
17.9 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, subject
to, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of New York,
without regard to conflict of laws principles.
17.10 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The parties recognize and agree
that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of Sections 2.2 and/or
10, above, and further recognize that such breach would result in irreparable
harm to the party against whom such breach is committed. Therefore, in the
event of a breach or threatened breach of any such provision, the party in
breach may be enjoined from engaging in any activity proscribed by such
provision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Injunctive relief pursuant to
this Subsection shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in

- Wall - Customer provided 3/4" fire retardant plywood (28" x 34") at
the CSS mounting location with a minimum space of 32" in front of rack
for accessibility.
2. The Glare Interdiction method will require an RF Interdiction Module
installed at one Cell Site per switch. Both 19" and 24" rack mount options
are supported. This will require 2 rack units or about 3.5" vertical in
addition to the CSS requirements. Total vertical rack space needed will be
19 rack units or 33.25" if Glare Interdiction is used. If RF interface is
required to the cell site antenna distribution system, an additional 2 rack
units of space will be required. Both the CSS and the interdiction units
should be co-located on the same rack or wall-space; if not additional
specialized cabling would be required.
3. The Spoofing Interdiction method will require 2 rack units or about 3.5"
vertical. In each Cell Site the spoofing method will require direct RF
interface to the cell site antenna distributions systems. This would
require another 2 rack units of space. Total vertical rack space needed
will be 21 rack units or 36.75" if Spoofing is used. Both the CSS and the
interdiction units should be co-located in the same rack or wall-space; if
not, additional specialized cabling would be required.
4. CTS-proprietary base band Interdiction Module is a third option for
interdiction. This module plugs into the test port of the Ericsson model
SRM 882 radio. A module is needed for each voice channel radio within a
Cell Site. These modules are cabled to the CSS unit. Therefore, the CSS
must be positioned within the Cell Site such that the cabling distance from
the CSS to the most distant radio is not more than 50 feet.
5. Customer provided +24 VDC 20 Amp power feed (#10 AWG x 2 Conductor, Cu
standard cable) to rack location.
6. Customer provided solid core #10 AWG ground strap at rack location.

SPECIFICATIONS
This Schedule contains the functional Specifications for a System as
required by the Master Purchase and License Agreement between CTS and Customer
(the "Agreement"). All undefined capitalized terms used in this Schedule shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in the Agreement. Each
overall System is comprised of one or more Regional Processor Systems and Cell
Site Systems.
BLACKBIRD-Registered Trademark- PLATFORM AND PRETECT-TM-
APPLICATION FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
Together, the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform and PreTect-TM- form a
home market cloning prevention solution, in which the Blackbird-Registered
Trademark- Platform collects cellular phone data that PreTect-TM- measures and
uses to interdict analog cellular phone cloning attempts in real time.
BLACKBIRD-Registered Trademark- PLATFORM OVERVIEW
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform is the data collection and storage
platform for CTS's real time cellular fraud prevention applications.
Using hardware and software at the Cell Site System (CSS) and Regional Processor
(RP), the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform collects and stores the
following cellular call data that form a cellular call event signature, or
"fingerprint":
- Radio frequency (RF) transmission characteristics: The subtle
differences between different cellular phones' RF signatures.
- Mobile Identification Number (MIN): The unique phone number assigned a
cellular phone.
- Electronic Serial Number (ESN): The unique number programmed into a
cellular phone during the manufacturing process.
- [*]
CTS designed the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform as a platform for
delivery of a modular system of cellular fraud prevention applications. The
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform Application Programming Interface (API)
facilitates seamless integration of current and future CTS products to meet the
changing fraud prevention requirements of its customers.
PRETECT-TM- OVERVIEW
PreTect-TM- is the real time cloning detection and interdiction application
designed to function on the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform.
PreTect-TM- works to prevent cloning fraud.

EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Over time, PreTect-TM- uses the information collected and stored by the
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform to build a unique fingerprint for each
analog cellular phone. PreTect-TM- also measures each call attempt transmitted
to a cell site against this fingerprint. This real time measurement process
allows PreTect-TM- to quickly determine whether the attempt originated from a
cloned analog cellular phone.
Users access PreTect-TM- through a Graphical User Interface on Hewlett
Packard X-terminals or IBM PC-compatible computers running X-terminal
emulation software. Through the graphical user interface, users can

SYSTEM HARDWARE OVERVIEW
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform/PreTect-TM- system includes the
following hardware systems:
The Regional Processor(s) complex consists of one or more Regional Processors,
routers and other hardware necessary to store cellular call data and maintain
connectivity between the Cell Site System and regional processor system.
- Regional Processor: Typically a Hewlett Packard 9000 series processor
running the HP-UX operating system.
- Router: Typically a CISCO 7000 series router used to provide TCP/IP
Ethernet connectivity between the regional processor and each cell
site.
The Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform and PreTect-TM- software work with
the regional processor system to provide real-time call data collection, storage
and reporting. In addition, the Blackbird-Registered Trademark- Platform's
distributed real-time message processing allows distribution of fingerprint data
among multiple regional processor systems in large markets.
The Cell Site System (CSS) consists of the cell site processor, radios and other
equipment necessary to collect cellular call data, communicate with the regional
processor system and shut down, or interdict, cloning attempts. One CSS is
required for each cell site that uses the Blackbird-Registered Trademark-
Platform/PreTect-TM- system.
- Cell Site Processor (CSP): An industry-standard PC housed in an
industrial-grade metal enclosure, with a cellular modem for remote
network troubleshooting.
- Radio: Cellular radios which collect cellular call data directly from
the cell site antenna and transmit that data to the CSP without
interrupting cell site call traffic.

- Interdiction module: Hardware unit that performs interdiction of
cloning attempts upon command from the CSP. The interdiction module
will vary depending on the Customer's infrastructure type.
Blackbird-Registered Trademark- and PreTect-TM- software work with the CSS to
gather home market cellular call characteristics, relay information regarding
those characteristics to the regional processor when necessary, and perform
interdiction of cloning attempts.

the Disclosing Party or considered by the Disclosing Party to be confidential or
trade secret, regardless of the form of disclosure (e.g., whether written, oral,
graphic, electronic, or visual), the date of disclosure (e.g., whether before,
on, or after the date of this Agreement), or the party through whom disclosure
is made (e.g., whether direct or indirect disclosure). "Confidential
Information" includes without limitation all technical information, customer
information, financial information, business plans or projections, marketing
information, and any other information relating to the past, present, or future
business operations or financial condition of the Disclosing Party.
2. NONDISCLOSURE; RESTRICTED USE.
2.1 The Receiving Party shall hold all Confidential Information
of the Disclosing Party in strictest trust and confidence. The Receiving Party
shall not, during the term of this Agreement, disclose or permit to be disclosed
through the Receiving Party to any person, entity or governmental body, or
personnel thereof, or use other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement,
any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, the Disclosing Party consents in advance to the disclosure
of its Confidential Information to those employees of the Receiving Party
necessary to perform the obligations of the Receiving Party under the agreements
described in the Recitals, above, provided that the Receiving Party shall ensure
that each such person maintains the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party's
Confidential Information disclosed to him or her.
BILATERAL NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT PAGE 1
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
The obligations of the Receiving Party set forth in Section 2.1
shall not apply to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which:
2.2.1 Was in the public domain at the time of the
Disclosing Party's communication thereof to the Receiving Party;
2.2.2 Enters the public domain through no fault of the
Receiving Party subsequent to the time of the Disclosing Party's communication
thereof to the Receiving Party;
2.2.3 Was in the Receiving Party's possession free of
any obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party at the time of the
Disclosing Party's communication thereof to the Receiving Party (as can be shown
from tangible evidence in the form of ordinary business records normally kept
and in existence at the time of the disclosure);
2.2.4 Is developed by the Receiving Party completely
independent from the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (as can be
shown from tangible evidence in the form of ordinary business records normally
kept and in existence at the time of the disclosure); or
2.2.5 Is required by law or regulation to be disclosed,
but only to the extent and for the purpose of such required disclosure after
providing the Disclosing Party with advance written notice if reasonably
possible such that the Disclosing Party is afforded an opportunity to contest
the disclosure.
2.3 The Receiving Party shall have the burden of proving the
existence of any of the exceptions described in Section 2.2 above.
3. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION DISCLOSING PARTY'S PROPERTY. The
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party shall be and remain the
exclusive property of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall not take
or use any materials, records, or media of any nature that contain Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party or that belong to the Disclosing Party
without the express written consent of the Disclosing Party, and, upon request
by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall deliver to the Disclosing
Party all of same in the Receiving Party's possession, custody or control, and
the Receiving Party shall not retain any copies thereof.
4. STANDARD OF CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTION. At all times, the
Receiving Party will protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party's
Confidential Information. The minimum standard for protection thereof shall be
that degree of protection, and those measures intended to implement such
protection, as the Receiving Party affords its own most secret or highly
confidential information, but in any event no lesser standard than that which a
reasonable person would utilize with respect to trade secrets or highly
confidential information.
5. REMEDY FOR BREACH. The parties hereto recognize and agree
that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement by
the Receiving Party and further recognize that breach of this Agreement by
the Receiving Party would result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party.
Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Receiving
Party of this Agreement, the Receiving Party may be enjoined from engaging in
any activity prohibited by this Agreement by injunction issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction
determines any provision herein is too broad to enforce as written, either as
to time or geographical area or otherwise, such court is authorized and
directed by the parties hereto to construe,
BILATERAL NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT PAGE 2
* CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED - FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION
modify or reform such provision to the extent reasonably necessary to make
such provision enforceable. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting
the Disclosing Party from pursuing any other remedies available to it for
such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including the recovery of
damages.
6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.1 TERM. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date
first written above and shall remain in effect for a period of five (5) years
thereafter. All obligations of the Receiving Party under this Agreement shall
survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party disclosed to the Receiving Party prior to
termination of this Agreement.
6.2 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be interpreted and
governed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.
6.3 NO FURTHER OBLIGATION. Nothing in this Nondisclosure
Agreement shall obligate either party to enter into or to refrain from entering
into any further agreement or negotiation with the other party or with any third
party.
6.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement together with
all exhibits or schedules attached to this Agreement: (a) contains the entire
understanding between the parties with respect to the safeguarding of
Confidential Information; and (b) supersedes all prior communications and
understandings between the parties with respect thereto. This Agreement may be
modified, supplemented and/or amended only by a writing signed by authorized

time or times, without notice or demand, to apply any such Collateral or any
proceeds thereof to any of such Liabilities in such amounts as it in its sole
discretion may select, either contingent, unmatured or otherwise and whether any

any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, proceed to enforce payment
of the same and exercise any of or all the rights and remedies afforded the Bank
by the Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") or otherwise possessed by the Bank.
Any requirement of the Code for reasonable notice to the undersigned shall be
deemed to have been complied with if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to
the undersigned and such other persons entitled to notice, at the addresses
shown on the records of the Bank at least four (4) days prior to the time of
sale, disposition or other event requiring notice under the Code.
The undersigned agrees to pay to the Bank, as soon as incurred, all costs

granted to the Bank or allowed to it by law shall be cumulative and not

The undersigned shall have the sole responsibility for notifying the Bank in
writing that the undersigned wishes to take advantage of any redemption,
conversion or other similar right with respect to any of the Collateral. The
Bank may release any party (including any partner or any undersigned) without
notice to any of the undersigned, whether as co-makers, endorsers, guarantors,
sureties, assigns or otherwise, without affecting the liability of any of the
undersigned hereof or any partner of any undersigned hereof.

the transferee who shall thereupon become vested with all the rights herein or
under applicable law given to the Bank with respect thereto and the Bank shall
thereafter forever be relieved and fully discharged from any liability or
responsibility in the matter; but the Bank shall retain all rights hereby given
to it with respect to any Liabilities and Collateral not so transferred. No

unless in writing, signed by the Bank, and only to the extent therein set forth;
nor shall any such waiver be applicable except in the specific instance for
which given. This agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties,
and the undersigned acknowledges that no oral or other agreements, conditions,
promises, understandings, representations or warranties exist in regard to the
obligations hereunder, except those specifically set forth herein.
If the undersigned is a partnership, the agreement herein contained shall
remain in force and applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals
composing the partnership or any release of any partner or partners and their
partners shall not thereby be released from any liability. If this note is
signed by more than one party, the terms "undersigned", as used herein, shall
include mean the "undersigned and each of them" and each undertaking herein
contained shall be their joint and several undertaking, provided, however, that
in the phrases "of the undersigned", "by the undersigned", "against the
undersigned", "for the undersigned", "to the undersigned", and "on the
undersigned", the term "undersigned" shall mean the "undersigned or any of
them"; and the Bank may release or exchange any of the Collateral belonging to
any of the parties hereto and it may renew or extend any of the liabilities of
any of them and may make additional advances or extensions of credit to any of
them or release or fail to set off any deposit account or credit to any of them
or grant other indulgences to any of them, all from time to time, before or
after maturity hereof, with or without further notice to or assent form any of
the other parties hereto. Each reference herein to the Bank shall be deemed to
include its successors, endorsees and assigns, in whose favor the provisions
hereof shall also inure. Each reference herein to the undersigned shall be

authorizations, approvals, consents, registrations, declarations and filings
(collectively, "Company consents and filings") are in full force and effect,
except where failure to obtain and/or maintain in full force and effect such
Company consents and filings would not have a material adverse effect upon the
execution and delivery of, and upon the performance of the Company's obligations
under, this Agreement.
2.4 NO VIOLATIONS. Neither the execution or delivery by the Company, nor
the consummation by the Company of the transactions herein contemplated, nor the

provisions of any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree,
determination or award of any court, governmental department, board, agency or

pursuant to this Agreement will be exempt from the registration provisions of

ARTICLE IV
4.1 REGISTRATION. The Company, at its cost and expense as provided in
Section 5.3 below, agrees to effect the registration under the Securities Act
and relevant blue sky laws of the Shares (the "Registration Shares") in order to
permit their resale by the Purchasers in the manner selected by the Purchasers.
The Company and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith in connection with
the furnishing of information required for such registration and the taking of
such other actions as may be legally or commercially necessary in order to
effect such registration. Within 60 days following the date hereof, the Company
shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the resale of
the Registration Shares and shall use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter.
Such best efforts shall include, but not be limited to, (i) promptly responding
to all comments received from the staff of the SEC, (ii) providing the
Purchaser's counsel with a contemporaneous copy of all written communications
from and to the staff of the SEC with respect to such registration statement,
(iii) promptly preparing and filing amendments to such registration statement
which are responsive to the comments received from the staff of the SEC, (iv)
furnishing to each Purchaser such number of copies of each prospectus included
in the registration statement for the Registration Shares, including each
preliminary prospectus, each of which shall be in conformity with the
requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC, (v) notifying each
Purchaser at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registration Shares is
required to be delivered under rules and regulations of the SEC of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the registration
-4-
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of circumstances then
existing, and promptly preparing and furnishing to each Purchaser a reasonable
number of copies of a supplement to or amendment of such prospectus as may be
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registration Shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing, (vi) using its reasonable commercial efforts to
cause all Registration Shares to be included for trading on the NASDAQ Stock
Market and (vii) in instances where an exemption from such qualification is not
available, using its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the
Registration Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions
as each Purchaser shall reasonably request; provided, that the Company shall not
be required to register or qualify under the blue sky laws in states where the
Company is already cleared. Once declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall cause such registration statement to remain effective until the earlier of
(i) the sale by the Purchaser of all shares so registered or (ii) 360 days after
the effective date of such registration statement.
(b) In anticipation of the registration of the Registration Shares under
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company will: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each
Purchaser and each other person, if any, who controls each Purchaser within the
meaning of the Securities Act (each such party, an "Indemnified Party"), to the
fullest extent permitted by law, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Party may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the registration statement under which the Registration Shares were
registered under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (ii) promptly
reimburse each Indemnified Party on demand for any reasonable legal or any other
expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or
defending such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that
the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in said registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said
prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Party
specifically for incorporation therein.
(c) Each Purchaser will severally (i) indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Company or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement under which the Registration Shares were registered
under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) promptly
reimburse the Company on demand and each other person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act for any reasonable legal or any
other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim,
-5-
damage, liability or action, in each case under clause (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph (c) to the extent and only to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement in said preliminary prospectus or said prospectus or said amendment
or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Purchaser specifically for incorporation
therein.
(d) In addition to the indemnification and remedies provided above, each
of the Company, on the one hand, and each Purchaser severally on the other hand,
agrees to indemnify the other and hold the other harmless from and against any
and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) which the other party may sustain or incur in connection with
the breach by the indemnifying party of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by it or him in this Agreement.
