Taxes, Surcharges, and Exemptions: If any federal, state, local or foreign tax, fee, assessment, or other charge is required by law to be collected by EW (each, a "Tax"), or a serving carrier charges Tax on a roaming call, then EW may bill such Tax to Customer, and Customer shall pay such Tax. If EW incurs a tax (other than a net income tax) or other expense to comply with legal or governmental requirements, or other expense to provide or improve service to its customers, and EW bills a surcharge to recover or offset the cost of such expense (a "Surcharge"), then Customer shall pay such Surcharge. Taxes and Surcharges may change from time to time. With respect to any Tax other than a Tax charged by a serving carrier on a roaming call, if Customer provides EW with an exemption certificate in the form provided by law, or with other evidence of exemption acceptable to EW, then that specific Tax will not be collected from Customer. If an exemption applied by EW at Customer's request is found not to apply, then Customer shall, upon demand, pay EW the uncollected Tax and all related interest, penalties, and additions to the Tax. EW shall not issue credits for a Tax that is billed prior to EW's receipt of evidence of exemption.

7.6. Failure to Pay: EW may, upon prior written notice to Customer, suspend or terminate Wireless Service to some or all M2M Lines or deny new activations due to Customer's failure to either make payment or dispute charges in accordance with the foregoing provisions regardless of any deposit provided by Customer.

24. COUNTERPARTS AND ADMISSIBILITY OF COPIES:

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. An electronic or facsimile copy of the executed Agreement or counterpart shall be deemed and shall have the same legal force and effect as an original document.

25. NO WAIVER:

Any forbearance or delay on the part of either Party in enforcing any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights. Any grant of a waiver in one instance shall not be construed as a continuing waiver in all similar instances. No provision of this Agreement shall be considered waived unless expressly waived in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of such provision is sought.

26. SEVERABILITY:

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Moreover, the Parties agree that the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law in accordance with the intention of the Parties as expressed by such provision.

27. SURVIVAL:

28. ENTIRE AGREEMENT:

28.1. This Agreement including any attachments and the terms and conditions of any plans, options, features, and applications (collectively, "Service Offerings") selected by Customer, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail over any conflicting terms and conditions of a Service Offering, except for terms and conditions that are specific to the use of the selected service.
