Notice
The Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee will give the Indemnitor written notice within 30 days of becoming aware that any formal or informal claim, demand, or request for indemnified losses under Sections 14.1 or 14.2 will be or has been made against the Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee, either individually or with others, (the Indemnification Claim). The Indemnitors indemnity obligation includes reasonable attorneys fees and all other reasonable costs incurred by the Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee from the first notice that any Indemnification Claim has been made or may be made, and is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable under applicable workers compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts.

If, within 30 days after the giving of notice, the Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee receives written notice from the Indemnitor stating that the Indemnitor intends to dispute or defend against the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnitor will have the right to select counsel of its choice and to dispute or defend against the claim, demand, liability, suit, action or proceeding, at its expense. The Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee will fully cooperate with the Indemnitor in the dispute or defense so long as the Indemnitor is conducting the dispute or defense diligently and in good faith; but the Indemnitor will not be permitted to settle the Indemnification Claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee, which approval will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. Even though the Indemnitor selects counsel of its choice, the Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee has the right to additional representation by counsel of its choice to participate in the defense at Indemnitees/Sprint PCS Indemnitees sole cost and expense.
Defense by Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee
If (a) no notice of intent to dispute or defend the Indemnification Claim is received by Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee within the 30-day period, or (b) diligent and good faith defense is not being, or ceases to be, conducted, by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee/Sprint PCS Indemnitee has the right to dispute and defend against the Indemnification Claim at the sole reasonable cost and expense of Indemnitor, but the Indemnitee will not be permitted to settle the Indemnification Claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnitor, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

Exhibit C
Guaranty
This Guaranty (Guaranty) is dated as of August 14, 2002 and entered into by InPhonic, Inc., with its principal office at 1010 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, Suite 250, Washington, DC 20007 (Guarantor) in favor of Sprint Spectrum L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, d/b/a/ Sprint PCS (Sprint PCS) and all of its affiliates.
Background
A. | Sprint PCS and Star Number, Inc, a Delaware corporation (including any successor or assignee, Star Number), are entering into a Private Label PCS Service Agreement pursuant to which Sprint PCS will sell PCS service to Star Number in order for Star Number to sell PCS service to end users under Star Numbers label, brand and marks (as amended from time to time, the Agreement). Unless defined in this Guaranty, all capitalized terms have the meaning given those terms in the Private Label PCS Services Agreement. |
B. | The obligations of Sprint PCS under the Agreement are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of this Guaranty. |
C. | To induce Sprint PCS to enter into the Agreement with Star Number, Guarantor has agreed to enter into this Guaranty to guaranty the financial accommodations made to and the other obligations of Star Number under the Agreement. Guarantor is the parent of Star Number and owns 100% of the stock of Star Number and will benefit directly and indirectly from Star Number entering into the Agreement. |
NOW, THEREFORE, and in consideration for Sprint PCS establishing a commercially reasonable credit limit, Guarantor agrees as follows:
Operative Provisions
1. |
Absolute, Unconditional Guaranty: The Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally, continually and irrevocably guarantees to Sprint PCS the full, complete and timely performance by Star Number of any and all obligations and liabilities due Sprint PCS under the Agreement, including (i) payment of all amounts due, (ii) all costs of collection incurred by Sprint PCS in collecting any amounts due or in enforcing any of its rights under the Agreement, (iii) all damages, and (iv) all indemnification obligations, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising (Guaranteed Obligations). This Guaranty is a guaranty of performance and payment when due and not of collection. This Guaranty is not conditioned on (x) any attempt to require performance of Star Number or upon any other event or contingency, and is binding upon and enforceable against the Guarantor without regard to the genuineness, regularity, validity, enforceability or waiver of the Agreement or of any term thereof or lack of power or authority of Star Number to enter into the Agreement (including any changes thereto), (y) the availability of, or impairment of the value of, any collateral to Sprint PCS, or (z) Sprint PCS failure to perfect its interest in any collateral. This Guaranty is not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim Guarantor or Star Number may have against Sprint PCS, whether out of the Agreement or otherwise, and remains in full force and effect without regard to, and is not released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition; provided, however, this Guaranty shall not be construed to impair or otherwise limit |
any rights, defenses or claims that Star Number or Guarantor may have against Sprint PCs related to the Agreement. |
2. | Bankruptcy etc. If (i) the Agreement or Star Numbers obligations thereunder are terminated as a result of the rejection thereof by any trustee, receiver or liquidating agency of Star Number, (ii) there is any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or (iii) the Agreement or Star Numbers obligations thereunder are otherwise discharged, affected, limited or rendered unenforceable, Guarantors obligations under this Guaranty continue to the same extent as if the Agreement or the obligations thereunder had not been so rejected, disaffirmed, or otherwise affected, limited, discharged or rendered unenforceable. Guarantor hereby waives all rights and benefits which might relieve, in whole or in part, Guarantor from the performance of its duties and obligations under this Guaranty by reason of any such proceeding and Guarantor agrees that it is liable for all of the Guaranteed Obligations irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of Star Number that may result from any such proceedings. If, at any time, payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Sprint PCS upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding of Star Number or otherwise, this Guaranty continues to be effective or is reinstated all as though that payment had not been made. |
3. | Waivers: Without affecting, impairing or releasing Guarantors liability under this Guaranty, Guarantor unconditionally waives (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) any requirement for the enforcement, assertion or exercise of any right or remedy against Star Number or under the Agreement, (iii) any requirement that Star Number be joined as a party to any proceeding for the enforcement of any provision of this Guaranty, and (iv) any requirement of due diligence on the part of Sprint PCS or (v) any obligation of Star Number to mitigate damages resulting from a default of Star Number under the Agreement. Any and all present and future debts and obligations of Star Number to Guarantor are hereby postponed in favor of and subordinated to the full payment and performance of all present and future debts of Star Number to Sprint PCS. |
4. | Financial Condition of Star Number: Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Star Number and agrees that it will continue to keep itself informed about that condition. Sprint PCS is not obligated to disclose any information, financial or otherwise, it now has, or may become aware of in the future, to Guarantor regarding Star Number. |
5. | Termination of Guaranty: Guarantors obligations under this Guaranty continue in full force and effect and this Guaranty does not terminate until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and indefeasibly paid, performed and discharged and Sprint PCS gives Guarantor written notice of that fact, such notice not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |
6. | Subrogation: Guarantor is prohibited from exercising any right of subrogation with respect to any payment made hereunder or otherwise, unless and until all Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full. If any payment is made to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations have not been paid in full, any amount so paid will be paid to Sprint PCS to be applied to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. |
7. | Representations and Warranties: Guarantor represents and warrants and agrees that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the state of its organization, has the full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under this Guaranty, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms. Neither the execution and delivery of this guaranty nor the fulfillment of its terms conflicts with, violates or results in a breach of (i) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Guarantor or (ii) any other instrument, document, agreement to which Guarantor is now a party or by which it is bound. |
8. | Miscellaneous: |
This Guaranty is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law. GUARANTOR WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION (INCLUDING COUNTERCLAIMS) RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY. THIS WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS OF OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS GUARANTY. Guarantor will pay Sprint PCS reasonable attorneys fees and other costs, which Sprint PCS may incur in the enforcement or collection of this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not suit is filed. Time is of the essence with respect to this Guaranty. Every provision of this Guaranty is intended to be severable. If any term or provision of this Guaranty is illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, that term or provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or legality of the remainder of this Guaranty. If necessary to effect the intent of this Guaranty, Guarantor and Sprint PCS will negotiate in good faith to amend this Guaranty to replace the unenforceable language with enforceable language which as closely as possible reflects the intent. This Guaranty sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Guarantor and Sprint PCS as to the subject matters covered therein and supersede all prior agreements, oral or written, and other communications between the Guarantor and Sprint PCS relating to the subject matter of this Guaranty. Guarantor agrees, at its expense, promptly to execute and deliver to Sprint PCS such further documents and take such further action as Sprint PCS may form time to time reasonably request in order to more effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Guaranty and to establish and protect the rights and remedies created in favor of Sprint PCS. No amendment or modification of this Guaranty is valid or binding unless made in writing and signed by the duly authorized representatives of Guarantor and Sprint PCS. No action taken by a party pursuant to this Guaranty is a waiver by that party of its or the other partys compliance with any provision of this Guaranty. No forbearance to seek a remedy is considered a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to that noncompliance. Nothing in this Guaranty confers on any third party any right or remedy. Guarantor may not assign this Guaranty without Sprint PCS prior written consent. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its permitted |
successors and assigns and inures to the benefit of and be enforceable by Sprint PCS and its successors and assigns.
