1. PARTIES
This Revision 4 (“Revision”) of Amendment Number 46 ( “Amendment”) is entered into pursuant to
Article 30 of, and upon execution shall be a part of, the Contractor Services Agreement for Number
Portability Administration Center/Service Management System, as amended by that certain Amending
Agreement, effective March 31, 2003 (the “Amending Agreement”) and that certain Amending Agreement,
effective October 28, 2005 (the “Second Amending Agreement”) (the “Master Agreement”) by and
between NeuStar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Contractor”) and the Canadian LNP Consortium, Inc.,
a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada (the “Customer”).
2. EFFECTIVENESS
This Revision shall be effective as of the 1st day of June 2008 (the “Revision Effective
Date”) only upon execution of this Revision by Contractor and Customer. The number in the upper
left-hand corner refers to this Revision. Undefined capitalized terms used herein shall have the

3. ANNUAL UPDATE
Pursuant to the Amending Agreement of the Master Agreement, Contractor and Customer agreed to
specify all amounts chargeable, payable, or to be credited under the Master Agreement, including,
for greater certainty and without limitation, amounts listed in Exhibit E, Exhibit G and amounts
under or pursuant to any Statement of Work and any Performance Credits, in Canadian dollars, but
except as otherwise provided in the Amending Agreement. For specific annual periods, each such
dollar amount is converted from its U.S. dollar amount into Canadian dollars by multiplying each
such amount by a conversion factor.
In accordance with the terms of the Amending Agreement, effective on each anniversary of the
Amending Agreement, the conversion factor is recomputed based on the average of the exchange rates
for each of the last five (5) Business Days in the month of April immediately preceding the
applicable anniversary of the Amending Agreement’s effective date, as published in the Key Currency
Cross Rates column of the Wall Street

Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary: (a) all amounts chargeable,

ARTICLE 6 — PRICING AND ADJUSTMENT
6.1
(a) General
Contractor shall be compensated for rendering the Services hereunder at the prices set forth in
Exhibit E — Pricing Schedules (the “Pricing Schedules”). Customer will deliver an Allocation Model
to Contractor for billing on or before the 30th day prior to the close of the first Billing Cycle;
provided, however, that if Customer fails to provide an Allocation Model by such date and until 30
days after such Allocation Model is so provided, Contractor shall be entitled to allocate all
allocable charges hereunder pro rata to the Users, and shall invoice such Users accordingly.
Thereafter, Customer may change the Allocation Model on 30 days written notice period.
Except as provided in a Statement of Work or as otherwise specifically provided hereunder,
Contractor will not increase the prices set forth in the Pricing Schedules during the Initial Term
of this Agreement. Thereafter, the prices for Services may be increased upon not less than 90 days
prior written notice to Customer; provided, however, that (i) any such price increase will not
exceed the total percentage increase, if any, in the CPI for the twelve month period immediately
preceding Contractor’s proposed price increase, or eight percent (8%), whichever is less and (ii)
prices may not be increased more than once in any twelve month period.
(b) One Time Credit
Contractor shall on or before December 31, 2005 pay, by way of credit, the amount of USD$[* * *],
which equals CA$[* * *] under the then-current conversion factor required under Exhibit E, (the
“One Time Credit”) for the benefit of, and for distribution among, the Users who are shareholders
of the Customer (the “Canadian Users”). The One Time Credit shall be payable by Contractor in the
manner stipulated in writing by the Customer in a direction delivered to Contractor, which
direction shall be delivered to Contractor no later than November 30, 2005. For greater certainty,
the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the One Time Credit may, in the sole discretion of
the Customer expressed in the direction described in the immediately preceding sentence, be payable
by Contactor: (i) by way of credit against future Canadian User payment obligations to Contractor
(as directed by the Customer); or (ii) by way of payment to the Customer of the One Time Credit (or
a combination of (i) and (ii)), within thirty (30) days of receipt by Contractor of the direction
described in this Section 6.1(b). For greater certainty, if the amount of any such credit allocated
to any Canadian User, as described in (i) in the immediately preceding sentence, exceeds any such
Canadian User’s payment obligations to Contractor in the month in which such credit is allocated by
Contractor (as described in the immediately preceding sentence), the net amount of such credit in respect of any such
Canadian User shall be applied in the next following month, and so on, until such credit is
exhausted, unless otherwise directed by the Customer.
(c) Fixed Annual Credit
This amended and restated document is intended for information purposes only. The rights and
obligations of the parties are defined in the Contractor Services Agreement dated May 19, 1998, as
amended by the Canadian NPAC/SMS Contractor Services Agreement Amending Agreement, dated March 31,
2003 and the Canadian NPAC/SMS Contractor Services Agreement Amending Agreement, effective as of
the 28th day of October 2005. This amended and restated document is updated effective
June 1, 2008.
Pursuant to 17 CFR 240.24b-2, confidential information has been omitted in places marked “[* * *]”
and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a
Confidential Treatment Application filed with the Commission.
Subject to the requirements set forth below in this Section 6.1(c), Contractor shall, in each
calendar year during the Initial Term beginning in 2006, pay an annual credit in the amount of $[*
* *], which equals CA$[* * *] under the current conversion factor required under Exhibit E, for the
benefit of, and for distribution among, the Canadian Users (each a “Fixed Annual Credit”). The
Fixed Annual Credit shall be payable by Contractor in the manner stipulated in writing by the
Customer in a direction delivered to Contractor, which direction shall be delivered to Contractor
for each applicable calendar year no later than November 30 of that calendar year during the
Initial Term beginning in 2006 . For greater certainty, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree
that the Fixed Annual Credit may, in the sole discretion of the Customer expressed in the direction
described in the immediately preceding sentence, be payable by Contractor: (i) by way of credit
against future Canadian User payment obligations to Contactor (as directed by the Customer); or
(ii) by way of payment to the Customer of the Fixed Annual Credit (or a combination of (i) and
(ii)), within thirty (30) days after both (A) Contractor receives the direction described in this
Section 6.1(c), and (B) the annual, aggregate volume of executed Ported TN Events exceeds the
applicable thresholds set forth below. For greater certainty, if the amount of any such credit
allocated to any Canadian User, as described in (i) in the immediately preceding sentence, exceeds
any such Canadian User’s payment obligations to the Contractor in the month in which such credit is
applied by Contractor (as described in the immediately preceding sentence), the net amount of such
credit in respect of any such Canadian User shall be applied in the next following month, and so
on, until such credit is exhausted, unless otherwise directed by Customer. The Fixed Annual Credit
shall only be payable by Contractor for each calendar year if Canadian Users, in the aggregate for
each applicable calendar year, execute: (i) in the calendar year 2006, more than [* * *] TN Porting
Events; (ii) in the calendar year 2007, more than [* * *] TN Porting Events; (iii) in the calendar
year 2008, more than [* * *] TN Porting Events; (iv) in the calendar year 2009, more than [* * *]
TN Porting Events; (v) in the calendar year 2010, more than [* * *] TN Porting Events; and (vi) in
the calendar year 2011, more than [* * *] TN Porting Events. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1(c) to the
contrary, if the number of TN Porting Events in any calendar year does not exceed the volume
thresholds set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then that calendar year’s Fixed Annual
Credit forever expires, and in no event shall such Fixed Annual Credit be available or otherwise be
used in a subsequent calendar year, provided that neither Party will be prejudiced by any error or
mistake in calculating the aggregate number of TN Porting Events described in the immediately
preceding sentence. Upon the discovery of any such error the Parties will promptly, and in good
faith correct such error, including any adjustment as may be required under this Section.
(d) No Withholding or Deduction.
All applicable credits and amounts payable described in Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.1(c) shall be
applied and paid, as described herein, without withholding or any deduction whatsoever.

ARTICLE 16 — DELAYS; PERFORMANCE CREDITS AND CORRECTIVE REPORTING; DEFAULTS; FORCE MAJEURE
16.1 Notice of Delays
Time is of the essence in Contractor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
Contractor shall promptly notify Customer in writing of any anticipated or known delay in
Contractor’s performance of an obligation by the date specified therefor, if any, in this
Agreement, the reasons for the delay, and the expected duration of the delay. In the event of any
failure of Customer or User to perform an obligation which delays or threatens to delay a scheduled
performance date of Contractor under this Agreement (“Customer/User Delay”), Contractor shall
promptly notify Customer in writing of such delay or threatened delay, and Contractor’s scheduled
performance date shall be extended day-for-day for any such actual delay of Customer or User
directly affecting such scheduled performance date. If Contractor fails to notify Customer of a
Customer/User Delay of which Customer or the applicable User does not otherwise have a prior notice
(i.e., pursuant to a Project Plan), Contractor may not use such Customer/User Delay as an excuse
for its failure to meet a scheduled performance date.
16.2 [Deleted]
16.3 Performance Credits
In the event that a Service Affecting Event (as defined below) shall have occurred for any reason
other than the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event or a Customer/User Delay, Contractor shall pay
to Customer or affected Users, as applicable, as “Performance Credits” (and as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty) an aggregate sum equal to the amount set forth under the heading “Performance
Credit Amount” for each such Service Affecting Event, as set forth in Exhibit G; provided, however,
that in no event shall the annual aggregate amount of Performance Credits exceed $[* * *], which
equals CA$[* * *] under the current conversion factor required under Exhibit E. For purposes
hereof, a “Service Affecting Event” shall mean the failure of Contractor to meet a “Service
Affecting” Service Commitment Level set forth in Exhibit G — Service Level Requirements; provided,
however, that if the same facts and circumstances directly or indirectly result in the failure to
meet more than one Service Level, all such related failures, for purposes of calculating
Performance Credits which shall be due in connection therewith, shall be deemed to be a single
Service Affecting Event. [Amended]
In the event that a Non-Service Affecting Event (as defined below) shall have occurred for any
reason, Contractor shall not be required to pay any Performance Credits. For each Non-Service
Affecting Event, Contractor shall (i) notify Customer in writing of such Non-Service Affecting
Event, including in such notification an explanation of the cause of the Non-Service Affecting
Event and a detailed summary of the course of actions, if any, necessary to mitigate the likelihood
of such cause recurring and (ii) diligently pursue the identified course of action to completion.
For purposes hereof, a “Non-Service Affecting Event” shall mean the failure of Contractor to meet
one of the Service Levels other than those which give rise to Service Affecting Events.
This amended and restated document is intended for information purposes only. The rights and
obligations of the parties are defined in the Contractor Services Agreement dated May 19, 1998, as
amended by the Canadian NPAC/SMS Contractor Services Agreement Amending Agreement, dated March 31,
2003 and the Canadian NPAC/SMS Contractor Services Agreement Amending Agreement, effective as of
the 28th day of October 2005. This amended and restated document is updated effective

and has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a
Confidential Treatment Application filed with the Commission.
16.4 Allocation of Damages Among Users
The aggregate amount of accrued liquidated damages under Section 16.3 above shall be allocated
among Users as directed by Xxxxxxxx and credited against the next succeeding monthly billing to
such Users for Services or, in the event Customer terminates this Agreement as a result of any such
failure, shall be allocated and credited in the same manner, with the balance, if any, remaining
after applying said amounts against any final xxxxxxxx to be paid to such Users by Contractor.
Liquidated damages shall be considered as compensation for direct damages for the delay suffered by
the Users other than those specified in Section 19.1(g) and Contractor shall remain liable for any
of the direct damages specified in Section 19.1(g). [Amended]
16.5 Contractor Defaults
Contractor shall be in default (“Default”) under this Agreement if Contractor shall:
(a) chronically fail to provide the Canadian NPAC/SMS at one or more of the “Service
Affecting” Service Levels, which failure is evidenced by recurring events of the same or
similar nature that are indicative of a systemic problem and which either have been
unaffected by Contractor’s repeated cure efforts, if any, or are reasonably unlikely to be
cured with Contractor’s diligent efforts over a reasonable period, which in any event shall
be no less than 30 days; or [Amended]
(b) fail to perform any of its other material obligations, i.e., material breach, under
this Agreement (including the obligations referred to in Section 21.3, but excluding the
obligations referred to in Section 16.5(a) above) and such failure continues for a period
of 30 days following receipt of written notice of such failure from Customer; provided,
however, that where such failure (other than with respect to a payment obligation) cannot
reasonably be cured within such 30 day period, so long as Contractor is diligently pursuing
such cure, the time for curing such failure shall be extended for such period as may be
necessary for Contractor to complete such cure.
Upon any Default hereunder by Contractor, Customer may, subject to Articles 19 and 26 hereof,
pursue any legal remedies it may have under applicable law or principles of equity.
16.6 Force Majeure
Any failure or delay by Customer, a User or Contractor in the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement shall not be deemed a Default of this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay
is directly or indirectly caused by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God,
acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions in the United States or
Canada, court order, or the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event (as otherwise defined herein)
affecting the non-performing Party’s first-tier suppliers, subcontractors or agents (i.e.,not
subcontractors of subcontractors), or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such
Party and without the fault or negligence of such Party and which cannot be reasonably circumvented
by the non-performing Party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means
(each, a “Force Majeure Event”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure or delay by Contractor
which results from Contractor’s failure to comply with a requirement of this Agreement intended to
prevent such a failure shall not be considered subject to this Article.
This amended and restated document is intended for information purposes only. The rights and
