Initial Term of Agreement
("Initial Term"):
For good and valuable consideration the Client and Bell Mobility Inc. eBell") agree:
1. Services: The Client requests and Bell shall provide
the wireless services associated with the rate plan(s) set out
in Section 4 (the "Rate Plan(s)"), and/or other services used
or requested by the Client or its Users and/or provided by
Bell (the "Services"), in connection with each wireless device
(including any replacements or upgrades thereto) (a
"Device") activated for the Client or its Users on the Bell
network, on the terms and conditions set out in this
Agreement including Schedule A. Bell enters into this
Agreement for itself and as agent for: Bell Canada (for
Devices activated in the Atlantic provinces), MTS Mobility
Inc. ("MTS"), Saskatchewan Telecommunications Holding
Corporation ("SaskTer), NorthemTel Limited Partnership
("NorthernTer) and Telebec Limited Partnership ("Telebec")
with respect to Devices activated in their respective
territories. "Bell Mobility Inc." and "Bell" as used in this
Agreement include Bell Canada, MTS, SaskTel, NorthernTel
and Telebec (along with Bell, sometimes called "Member
Companies"). "User" means each individual user of the
Services who is an employee or other authorized
representative of the Client or its subsidiaries. "Clienr'
includes all or any Users.
2. Fees, Minimum Commitment and Early Termination
Fee:
(a) The Client shall pay the fees and charges referenced in
Sections 4 and 5, any Early Termination Fees and late
payment charges (collectively, the "Fees") and all applicable
taxes, without set-off, in accordance with this Agreement.
The Rate Plan(s) are effective on the date set out in Section
4. During the Initial Term Bell may not change the Fixed
Fees (defined in Section 4). Otherwise Bell may change or
add Fees during the Term by giving the Client at least 30
days advance notice. A User may transfer to a rate plan
other than the Rate Plan(s), on payment of applicable
change fees, but the User and Client shall not receive the
discounts or special pricing offered under this Agreement
with respect to that User, including for any added features
and services.
(b) During the Term the Client agrees to maintain the
minimum number of Devices, set out in Section 6, activated
on the Bell network under the Rate Plan(s) ("Activated"). If
the minimum number of Devices (i) is not Activated within
the number of days of the Effective Date set out in Section 7
and/or (ii) does not remain Activated at all times during the
Term, Bell may change or eliminate any special pricing or
discounts provided to the Client, and charge the Client the
difference between the regular pricing and the special or
discounted pricing during the time that the minimum number
of Devices was not Activated. A Device activated on the Bell

February 2008 Version 1
BELL_LEGAL-#363882_v2"ProvinciaCCOrpllral&_acoounCagreomant_"_ETF final-DOC Claringlonlinal
network prior to the Effective Date and not deactivated will
be included in the minimum number of Devices once the
Rate Plan has been assigned to the Device.
(c) The Client or a User may deactivate a Device and
terminate the related Services by giving Bell at least 30 days
advance notice as set out in Section 9. If the Device is
terminated within the following time periods, however, the
Client must pay an early termination fee (the "Early
termination Fee" or "ETF") calculated as follows:
Maximum ETF for Device provided at pricing
based on committed term of 36 months = $350.00
Maximum ETF for Device provided at pricing
based on committed term of 24 months = $300.00
Maximum ETF for Device provided at pricing
based on committed term of 12 months = $250.00
Formula: Take Maximum ETF for the relevant
committed term; multiply by number of remaining
months in committed term; divided by the total # of
months in the committed term.
Example: Device on a 2 year committed term (24
months@$300 maximum ETF) with remaining
number of months =10 months.
ETF is = $300.00 X 10/24= $125.00
. The Client agrees that the Early Termination Fee is a true
estimate of the damages that would be incurred by Bell
because of the early deactivation of the Device and
termination of the related Services, and not a penalty. This
section applies even after the expiration of the Term or other
termination of the Agreement for all Devices remaining
activated. Clients who wish to transfer a User from one
Member Company to another should contact their account
representative to discuss options.
3. Term. After the Initial Term ends, this Agreement will
continue in effect on the same terms and conditions on a
month-to-month basis until either party gives the other 30
days advance written notice of termination. The Initial Term
and any additional period of time before termination are
collectively referred to as the "Term". After the Initial Term
Bell may change the Rate Plan(s) and Fixed Fees, and
make any other changes to this Agreement or the Services,
by giving the Client at least 30 days advance written notice.
After this Agreement is terminated no new Devices may be
activated hereunder and Sections 2(b), 6 and 7 shall not
apply. However, Bell wilt continue to provide and Client will
continue to receive the Services for each existing Device
until the Client or a User deactivates a Device and
terminates the related Services as set out in Section 2{c), or
Bell deactivates a Device and terminates the related
Page 1 of 10
Services as set out in Section 18 of Schedule At and the
terms of this Agreement will otherwise continue to apply
during such time with respect to such Services and Devices.
4. Rate Plan(s). During the Term Bell will make the following plan(s) available to the Client at the prices listed below, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective as of:

WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPliED OR

11. Updates. To ensure continuity of the Services, the
integrity of Bell's network, for proper maintenance of the
Device and the Services, or to comply with manufacturers'
warranties, Bell may update the software, features and
settings on Client's Device. Client agrees to and shall permit
Bell to make such upgrades and changes as necessary
without notice.
12. Pre-Authorized Payment. Client expressly
authorizes Bell to charge Client's credit card or other pre-
authorized payment vehicle the amount of any charges due
under Client's account if (a) Client has requested pre-
authorized payment via credit card or other pre-authorized
payment vehicle, (b) such charges are outstanding or (c) the
Services are terminated for a Device. This will constitute
Bell's sufficient authority for doing so. Client promises that
the credit card for which Client has provided information to
Bell is in Client's name, is valid and has not expired. Client
promises to promptly advise Bell if Client's credit card
information changes due to its loss, theft, cancellation or
expiry.
13. Credit and Spending Limit. At its discretion. Bell may,
but is not required to, impose a credit and spending limit on
Client's or any User's account at any time. The Services
may be suspended at any time if Client's balance, including
unbilled usage and pending charges and adjustments,
exceeds this limit. Notwithstanding such limit or suspension,
Client is obligated to pay Bell any amounts owing in excess
of such limit. Bell may also change Client's limit at any time.
Bell will give Client prior notice if Bell imposes or changes a
credit and spending limit. If Bell suspends the Services,
Client must pay down its account to an amount below
Client's limit before Bell will re-start Client's Service. Bell
may charge an administrative fee to re-start Client's Service.
This credit and spending limit may be imposed, in Bell's
discretion, as an alternative to any required security deposit.
14. Security deposits. Should Clienfs credit rating or
usage charges warrant at any time, Bell may require a
refundable security deposit from Client. After 6 months of
timely and consistent payments of Client's account in full,
Clienfs security deposit will be, at Bell's option, either (a)
returned to Client, or (b) applied to Client's account, in either
case without interest. Bell may set off against the security
deposit, if any, outstanding amounts, fees and charges owed
by Client to Bell.
15. Payments. Client's monthly bill is payable upon the
date of the invoice and if payment is not received by Bell
within 30 days of that date Client will be charged interest on
the balance owing at the rate of two percent per month (or
26.82% per year) (or such other rate as Bell notifies Client in
writing), calculated from the date of the invoice. Client must
allow adequate time for payment processing and receipt by
Bell. Bell reserves the right to require immediate payment in
full of amounts, whether billed or not, that are inconsistent
with Clienfs normal usage pattern. Bell may bill Client up to
one year from the date a charge was incurred. Bell will
apply any credits due to Client against future charges
payable by Client under this Agreement, if Client notifies Bell
within 90 days of receipt of Clienfs invoice for which a credit
is claimed. If Client is entitled to a credit from Bell, Client
represents and warrants that Client has made no separate
claim for a refund from a financial institution. To correct any
payment made by Client through electronic means (such as
Internet or telephone banking or ATM machine), Client must
first request Client's financial institution to make the
correction. Bell may charge Client an administrative fee for
payments rejected for insufficient funds.
16. Loss or theft. Client shall notify Bell immediately at the
telephone number set out in Section 9 of this Agreement if
Client's Device is lost, stolen or destroyed. Client is
responsible for the cost of replacing it, and for all fees and
charges incurred prior to Client notifying Bell.
17. Use of Service. Client is responsible to safeguard the
Device, and for the use of the Device and the Services by
Client and any other persons, except as provided under the

without notice to Client. If Client upgrades or replaces a
Device, content including pictures, contacts, music,
screensavers, games and ringtones may not be capable of
being transferred to the other Device.
