the Service;
b) Licensee must notify Licensor in writing within 60 days from the date the Service was used for testing

as free minutes and restored to the minutes that were deducted from Licensee's System Minute bank.

access to the Service will be terminated.
8. Contract Extension: Upon each annual anniversary of the Effective Date, this Agreement may extend
for additional one-year periods(each a "Renewal Term"). If activated, this contract extension provision will
continue to extend the Agreement period by one(1) additional year at the end of each one(1) year Initial

Licensee understands and agrees that its failure to extend the Agreement pursuant to this section may
result in increased costs for the Service in the event that Licensee requests Licensor to provide any
services to Licensee after the expiration of the Term.
9. Minute Bank Refill Feature: The parties recognize that Licensee may utilize the Service in a manner
that results in Licensee exceeding the amount of prepaid System Minutes in Licensee's System Minute
bank. In the event that using the Service completely exhausts Licensee's remaining prepaid System
Minute bank, Licensor will immediately refill Licensee's System Minute bank with a block of 3,000 System
Minutes, and will invoice Licensee for this block of minutes at the Additional System Minute price as
indicated in Exhibit A. Licensee shall pay Licensor for all Additional System Minute blocks upon receipt of
invoice from Licensor, subject to the same terms as set forth in paragraph 5. Licensee understands and
agrees that it is required to maintain a System Minutes balance in its System Minutes bank at all times,
and agrees to purchase Additional System Minute blocks as needed in order to maintain a positive
System Minute balance. The purpose of this refill feature is to ensure that calls being placed via the
Service are not interrupted as the result of Licensee's depletion of its System Minutes.
10. Appropriate Use of The Service: To access the Service, Licensor will provide Licensee with unique user
name(s) and password(s). Licensee agrees to maintain such user name(s) and password(s) as private
and confidential information. Licensee agrees to use the Service in a way that conforms with all
applicable laws and regulations. Licensee agrees not to initiate a call, such that the same call is to be
delivered to two (2) or more lines of a business. Licensee specifically agrees not to make any attempt to
gain unauthorized access to any of Licensor's systems or networks. Licensee agrees that Licensor shall
not be responsible or liable for the content of the message(s) created by Licensee, or by those who
access the Service using Licensee's codes, or otherwise delivered by the Service on behalf of Licensee.
Licensee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensor and its affiliates, employees, officers,
directors, managers, members and agents from any and all liabilities, costs, and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, whether brought by a third party, arising from any violation of this Agreement
by Licensee; from the content, placement, or transmission of any messages or materials sent or
maintained through Licensee's accounts, or use of the Service through Licensee's account. Licensee
shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable laws regarding outbound telemarketing, which may
include, but are not limited to the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, The
Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 1999 and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, as well as State and Local telemarketing laws and requirements. Licensee will
be solely responsible and liable for any such violations and shall defend, indemnify and hold Licensor
harmless from all lawsuits, demands, liabilities, damages, claims, losses, costs or expenses, including
attorneys' fees (whether by salary, retainer or otherwise), arising out of or resulting from, in whole or in
part, a violation of such laws.
11. Security: Licensor will use commercially reasonable practices and standards to secure and encrypt data
transmissions. Licensee understands and acknowledges that Licensor is providing the Service on the
World Wide Web through an "upstream" third party Internet Service Provider, utilizing public utility
services which may not be secure. Licensee agrees that Licensor shall not be liable to Licensee in the
event of any interruption of service or lack of presence on the Internet as a result of any disruption by the
third party Internet Service Provider or public utility. Licensee agrees that Licensor cannot guarantee the
integrity of any Licensee supplied or user supplied data. Any errors, duplications, or inaccuracies related

software that is designed to be active 24 hours per day, 365 days per year; software in general is not
error-free and the existence of any errors in Licensee's software used in conjunction with the Service
shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; (b) in the event that Licensee discovers a material error
which substantially affects Licensee's use of the Service, and Licensee notifies Licensor of the error,
Licensor shall use reasonable measures to restore access to the Service, provided that such error has
not been caused by incorrect use, abuse or corruption of the Service or the Service's software or by use
of the Service with other software or on equipment with which it is incompatible by Licensee or a third
party accessing the Service through Licensee's passcodes; (c) Licensee is responsible for maintaining

files that it is to prepare, process or maintain under this Agreement, and agrees to perform its duties in
