by AIRVANA with respect to the SOFTWARE or the DOCUMENTATION shall be included within the meanings of those
terms, for the purposes of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly provided below.
BY DOWNLOADING OR INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CUSTOMER
HAS READ ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDS THEM, AND
AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THEM. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT, IF CUSTOMER PURCHASED THE
PACKAGE FROM AN AUTHORIZED RESELLER OF AIRVANA, THAT RESELLER IS NOT AIRVANA’S AGENT
AND IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS OR WARRANTIES,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, ON AIRVANA’S BEHALF NOR TO VARY ANY OF THE TERMS OR
CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
If CUSTOMER does not agree to the terms of this Agreement, CUSTOMER shall promptly return the entire PACKAGE to
the place CUSTOMER obtained it for a full refund of the software license fee. If CUSTOMER should have any difficulty
in obtaining such refund, CUSTOMER can contact AIRVANA at 978-250-3000.

object code format solely on a single server unit owned or leased by CUSTOMER or otherwise embedded in equipment
provided or sold by AIRVANA to CUSTOMER and (ii) to use the accompanying DOCUMENTATION. CUSTOMER may
transfer its copy of the SOFTWARE together with its DOCUMENTATION on a permanent basis, provided that
CUSTOMER notifies AIRVANA as to the name and address of the recipient of its copy and that such recipient agrees in
writing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. CUSTOMER may not network the SOFTWARE or otherwise use it
on more than one computer or computer terminal at the same time. CUSTOMER may make one (1) copy of the

the interoperability of the SOFTWARE with other programs.
LIMITED WARRANTY
SOFTWARE. AIRVANA warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days (the “WARRANTY PERIOD”) from the date
of delivery from AIRVANA: (i) the media on which the SOFTWARE is furnished will be free of defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use, and (ii) the SOFTWARE substantially conforms to the accompanying
DOCUMENTATION. If during the WARRANTY PERIOD, the SOFTWARE is non-compliant with the above
warranty, AIRVANA’s exclusive liability, and CUSTOMER’s sole and exclusive remedy, shall be, at AIRVANA’s option,
to either (a) repair or replace such nonconforming SOFTWARE or (b) refund to CUSTOMER that portion of the license
fee paid by CUSTOMER allocable to such nonconforming SOFTWARE; provided however, that AIRVANA shall have
no obligations pursuant to this limited warranty unless AIRVANA shall have received from CUSTOMER during the
WARRANTY PERIOD written notice from CUSTOMER of the alleged nonconformance and the circumstances
underlying CUSTOMER’s claim. This limited warranty applies: (i) to the initial purchaser only and may be acted upon
only by the initial purchaser, and (ii) does not apply to any patch, update, upgrade, modification, or other enhancement
provided by AIRVANA at no extra charge as part of the PACKAGE, which are provided on an AS IS basis only.
RESTRICTIONS. AIRVANA’s warranty obligations are expressly conditioned upon (i) the SOFTWARE being
properly installed, used and maintained in accordance with the DOCUMENTATION, (ii) the SOFTWARE not being
subjected to unusual mechanical stress or unusual electrical or environmental conditions, (iii) the SOFTWARE not being
subjected to misuse, accident or neglect, and (iv) the SOFTWARE not being altered or modified, unless such alteration
or modification has been authorized in writing or performed by AIRVANA. AIRVANA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT
THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE IN ANY SPECIFIC COMBINATION THAT MAY BE SELECTED FOR USE BY
CUSTOMER, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE,
OR THAT ALL NONCONFORMANCE OR DEFECTS WILL BE REMEDIED. ADDITIONALLY, AIRVANA
SHALL HAVE NO WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE SOFTWARE TO CONFORM TO
THE DOCUMENTATION RESULTING FROM THE COMBINATION OF ANY SOFTWARE WITH HARDWARE
AND/OR SOFTWARE NOT SUPPLIED BY AIRVANA OR FROM THE FAILURE BY CUSTOMER TO TIMELY
OR PROPERLY IMPLEMENT ANY DESIGN OR ENGINEERING CHANGE ORDERS WHEN REQUESTED TO
DO SO BY AIRVANA. If SOFTWARE reported as defective or nonconforming by CUSTOMER during the
WARRANTY PERIOD is not so defective or nonconforming, AIRVANA may, at its option, charge CUSTOMER for
any labor provided and expenses incurred by AIRVANA in connection with such determination, at AIRVANA’s then
current rates.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY
PROVISION ABOVE, THE WARRANTIES OF AIRVANA HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE GIVEN BY
AIRVANA AND ACCEPTED BY CUSTOMER IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER
EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR ARISING FROM CUSTOM OR TRADE USAGE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES BEING HEREBY
EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY DISCLAIMED BY AIRVANA AND WAIVED BY CUSTOMER. Some
jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition lasts, so the above limitation may
not apply to CUSTOMER. This limited warranty gives CUSTOMER specific legal rights, and CUSTOMER may also
have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
NEITHER AIRVANA NOR ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTIES FOR
ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT OR DATA, TECHNOLOGY OR SERVICES OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS LICENSE, THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION, EVEN IF AIRVANA OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SUCH LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL
APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION UNDER WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF WARRANTY,
INDEMNIFICATION, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT.
IN NO EVENT SHALL AIRVANA’S OR ITS SUPPLIERS' LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER FOR DAMAGES OF ANY
NATURE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LICENSE, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF
ACTION SET FORTH ABOVE, EXCEED THE TOTAL LICENSE FEES FOR THE SOFTWARE PAID BY
CUSTOMER. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of special, incidental, consequential, indirect
or exemplary damages, or the limitation of liability to specified amounts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not
apply to CUSTOMER.
GENERAL PROVISIONS. This LICENSE shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America, as if performed wholly within the state; excluding (1) the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; (2) the1974 Convention on the Limitation
Period in the International Sale of Goods (the "1974 Convention"); and (3) the Protocol amending the 1974 Convention,
done at Vienna April 11, 1980. The original of this LICENSE has been written in English. The parties hereto waive any
statute, law, or regulation that might provide an alternative law or forum or to have this LICENSE written in any
language other than English. If any provision of this LICENSE is held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity,
subject, or otherwise so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision shall be constructed by limiting or reducing it so as
to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear. If any portion hereof
is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this LICENSE shall remain in full force and effect.
This LICENSE constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the SOFTWARE and the
DOCUMENTATION. This LICENSE may not be modified except by a written agreement signed by authorized
representatives of both parties. A waiver by either party of its rights hereunder shall not be binding unless contained in a
written agreement signed by an authorized representative of the party waiving its rights.
The SOFTWARE and DOCUMENTATION are controlled by the export laws and regulations of the United States. In the
event CUSTOMER exports the SOFTWARE or the DOCUMENTATION from the country in which CUSTOMER first
received it, CUSTOMER assumes the responsibility for compliance with all applicable export and re-export regulations,
as the case may be.

viii 910136 Rev01.00 Standard July 2007
The SOFTWARE and DOCUMENTATION are “commercial items” as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (October
1995) consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such
terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1, 227.7202-3 and 227.7202-4 (June 1995). Absent a written agreement to the
contrary, the U.S. Government's rights with respect to such SOFTWARE or DOCUMENTATION are limited by the
terms of this Agreement, pursuant to FAR 12.212(a) and/or DFARS 227.7202-1(a), as applicable.
CUSTOMER shall be responsible for and shall pay, and shall reimburse AIRVANA on request if AIRVANA is required
to pay, any sales, use, value added (VAT), consumption or other tax (excluding any tax that is based on AIRVANA's net
income), assessment, duty, tariff, or other fee or charge of any kind or nature that is levied or imposed by any
governmental authority on the PACKAGE.
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or to a breach hereof, including its
interpretation, performance or termination, shall be finally resolved by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by
a single arbitrator jointly appointed by the parties; provided, however, that if they cannot agree within thirty (30) days
after the initiation of the arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be appointed by the President of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). The arbitration shall be conducted in English and in accordance with the commercial arbitration
rules of the AAA. The arbitration, including the rendering of the award, shall take place in Boston, Massachusetts, and
shall be the exclusive forum for resolving such dispute, controversy or claim. The decision of the arbitrator shall be
binding upon the parties hereto, and the expense of the arbitration (including without limitation the award of attorneys'
fees to the prevailing party) shall be paid as the arbitrator determines. The decision of the arbitrator shall be executory,
and judgment thereon may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Paragraph to the contrary, AIRVANA shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against CUSTOMER or
anyone acting by, through or under CUSTOMER, in order to enforce AIRVANA’s rights hereunder through reformation
of contract, specific performance, injunction or similar equitable relief.
