1. INTRODUCTION

The NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse is a centrally managed, information interchange processing facility that provides OSS interconnection services to a customer under a NeuStar OSS Master Services Agreement. These services enable the exchange of different types of information with multiple trading partners (“Trading Partners”). The Clearinghouse supports multiple service suites, each of which is further described in separate Service Agreements under the OSS Master Services Agreement. Capitalized terms used by not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the OSS Master Services Agreement, dated as of December 27th, 2004, by and between NeuStar, Inc. and Vonage Holdings Corporation (the “Master Services Agreement”), and the services herein are deemed Services under the Master Services Agreement.

2. CLEARINGHOUSE

2.1 Data Center

The NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse is hosted in the NeuStar Data Center, which provides hosting for mission-critical services to the telecommunications industry. The Data Center is responsible for operating and maintaining network equipments and servers for the NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse. It operates a Network Operations Center (NOC) that provides network monitoring and customer support on a 24x7 basis.

2.2 Network Connectivity

Network connectivity to the NeuStar clearinghouse (the “Clearinghouse”) is required from both the Customer to the Clearinghouse and from the Clearinghouse to the Trading Partner’s networks.

Connectivity to Customer

Customer connectivity with NeuStar’s OSS Clearinghouse may be based on the public access Internet or on a dedicated circuit and is the responsibility of Customer.

Customer may have existing circuit connectivity to NeuStar used for other NeuStar service offerings, (e.g., Number Portability Administration Center (“NPAC”) connectivity). If Customer desires to utilize such existing connectivity for access to the NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse system, then-Customer must seek written approval from NeuStar. Customer understands, however, that such use of existing interconnection facilities (e.g., NPAC) is not recommended by NeuStar and, therefore, any service outage of the OSS Clearinghouse Services described under the Master Services Agreement and/or any attached addendum or Service Agreement that is caused by an outage of such other connectivity to a separate NeuStar system shall be excluded from the determination of whether NeuStar has met any service level requirement.

Connectivity to Trading Partners

NeuStar connectivity to Trading Partners is accomplished through an established network of physical circuits to the various ILEC and IXC data centers. The NeuStar Clearinghouse provides certified interfaces to access these Trading Partner gateway systems.

The Trading Partner access network provides high speed, redundant circuits to each of these Trading Partner data centers, which terminate at the appropriate routers to access the required gateway systems.

2.3 Customer Support Services

2.3.1 Trading Partner Certification

The NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse certifies its interfaces with the Trading Partners. Following is a description of the certification process.

Define Certification Requirements—When a new Trading Partner interface is to be supported, the requirements for the interface are captured and memorialized in a writing provided to Customer and Trading Partner and any system components need are developed or configured.

Kick-Off Meeting—The official start of the certification process is with the Kick-Off Meeting, where the NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse Certification Team meets with the Trading Partner Certification Team. Written Test Plans and a written Test Schedule are reviewed and agreed to for the testing process.

Establish Trading Partner Connectivity—The Trading Partner gateways must be able to recognize and accept transactions from the Customer. This requires that the Trading Partner IDs and relationships are configured into the Trading Partner gateway, tested and certified. NeuStar utilizes the Trading Partner specified transport methods such as Connect:Direct, CORBA, or Interactive Agent as a means of transmitting requests and receiving responses. The testing and certification of the interface is a critical part of the Trading Partner connectivity component.

Develop Test Plan and Test Data—The Certification is based on a set of agreed upon tests that demonstrate that the NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse system is able to meet the Trading Partner’s Interface and operate successfully. NeuStar, working with the Trading Partner’s team develop the plan and the data, with expected results (collectively the “Test Plan”) and a schedule for performing and completing the Test Plan (the “Test Schedule.”)

Execute and Pass all Test Cases—Once connectivity is established, the test orders will be submitted and worked as issues arise until all tests are in passed status. The NeuStar Certification Team is dedicated to this process and ensures that test cases are completed and all issues are resolved.

Receive Trading Partner Certification—Once all test cases have been executed and passed successfully, the Trading Partner will certify that the NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse is certified on its gateway.

2.3.2 Systems Integration

NeuStar offers systems integration support, on a professional services basis, for Customers that select to use the Clearinghouse API or OSS Adaptor.

2.3.3 Training

NeuStar provides end user training for Clearinghouse Customers. Users who undergo training will learn the processes for both data input and output, and will have hands-on training with instruction on using the Web-based interface. Training sessions can be designed with a “train the trainer” approach, allowing students to return from the training with the ability to transfer materials and capabilities to additional users of the Clearinghouse.

The training may be delivered remotely via a web cast session, in-house at the NeuStar training facility or, on site with the Customer. Pricing for training is set forth in the applicable Service Agreement.

2.3.4 Documentation

NeuStar provides documentation for its Clearinghouse Customers, including the following:

(a) User Guide describing the features of the Clearinghouse Service;

(b) Online Help describing the trading partner business rules; and

2.3.5 Testing

The NeuStar Clearinghouse provides Customers access to a test system that enables the testing of system changes at the Clearinghouse. This gives Clearinghouse Customers the ability to test changes prior to going to production.

2.3.6 Trading Partner / Industry Change Management

NeuStar maintains the Trading Partner interfaces to ensure compliance with industry standards and the Trading Partner specific business rules. Interface changes are implemented to meet industry requirements and individual Trading Partner release schedules.

2.3.7 Help Desk

(a) The NeuStar OSS Clearinghouse provides Help Desk services for customer support during Standard Business Day (as defined in the Master Services Agreement). The Help Desk is the single point of initial contact for Customers to contact the Clearinghouse and open a trouble ticket or obtain information. The Help Desk will open and track all customer requests until they are closed. NeuStar’s Help Desk number is [...***...].

(b) Escalation Path For Technical Support Issues: If Customer is not satisfied with the technical support provided by NeuStar, Customer may follow and initiate the escalation path (including any appropriate escalation to a higher level contact) to the associated contacts as set forth below. Such contacts may be changed from time-to-time, upon reasonable and prior written notice to Customer.

2.4.1 User Interface

The Clearinghouse is accessible to users via a graphical user interface (GUI) using a standard web-browser. The GUI allows the Customer to create and update order transactions, as well as monitor and manage the processes involved in interconnection. This enables order entry and tracking, and enables users to manage exceptions and resolve fallout.

2.4.2 Application Programming Interface

NeuStar’s OSS Clearinghouse services are accessible via a bi-directional XML Application Programming Interface (API). All request and response messages exchanged with the Customers back office systems are formatted as XML documents.

2.4.3 Custom OSS Adaptors

OSS Adaptors enable external customer systems to integrate to the OSS Clearinghouse API. The NeuStar Clearinghouse provides an OSS Adaptor Toolkit that can be used to integrate to the Customer’s back-office systems. Customers may choose to use the adapter toolkit to integrate information presented in customer specific format and transform it to meet the NeuStar API requirements.

3.2 Exclusions.

In determining whether NeuStar has met any service levels, including any additional SLA set forth herein or in a Service Agreement under the OSS Master Services Agreement, failures and interruptions caused by the following shall be excluded:

• facilities, hardware, or software provided by or under the control of Customer;

• acts or omissions from or by Customer;

The Improvement Plan will be developed and submitted to Customer within [...***...], and will detail the actions to be taken for improving performance to the acceptable service level and identify dates for achieving such results.

If NeuStar fails to achieve the service level by the date committed in the Improvement Plan, then NeuStar shall apply a [...***...] that NeuStar misses Minimum Service Availability.

IP Traffic Exchange/iPeer Program, Participation Terms and Conditions

1. SERVICE. NeuStar shall provide to Participant (individually a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) its Service Provider ENUM component of its IP Traffic Exchange services (the “Service”) in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. The Service is a clearinghouse service designed to enable efficient exchange of IP traffic between service providers by providing discovery of IP endpoints of other participants. No other terms and conditions shall apply to the provision of the Service unless expressly agreed in writing by NeuStar and Participant.

2. TERM. The term of these Terms and Conditions shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue for four (4) years thereafter (together with any renewals, the “Term”), unless terminated by either Party as provided herein. Thereafter, the Term shall automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods.

3. NO RESALE. The Service is for use by Participant solely for its internal business purposes, and not for resale as a stand-alone product to any third party, including by way of a service bureau, provided, however, that Participant shall be authorized to provide the Service functionality to its customers to facilitate Participant’s other offered services.

4. OPERATION. On at least a quarterly basis (due at the beginning of each quarter), Participant shall provide NeuStar with transaction volume projections for that quarter.

5. NON-INTERFERENCE. In order to participate in the Program, Participant will be required to connect to NeuStar’s Clearinghouse system. Participant may only use the connection to NeuStar’s systems (“Network Connection”) for the specific lawful business purposes outlined in these Terms & Conditions, or in any applicable exhibit or addenda. Participant shall not use the Network Connection or its equipment or systems in a way that interferes in any way with or adversely affects the use of the NeuStar Clearinghouse by NeuStar or any other authorized third party user of the NeuStar Clearinghouse. NeuStar reserves the right to cancel and/or temporarily suspend the delivery of Service if Participant engages in activities which cause disruption or damage to NeuStar’s network or which NeuStar reasonably believes may cause disruption or damage to NeuStar’s network. NeuStar will provide Participant with notice of such suspension and will make reasonable efforts to work with Participant to restore Service.

6. PRICING AND BILLING. The Service shall be provided free of charge from the Effective Date to December 31, 2005. Beginning January 1, 2006, Participant shall receive a discounted rate of [...***...] of the commercially available rates for the Service for twelve (12) months, beginning January 1, 2006. For the remainder of the Term thereafter, Participant shall pay NeuStar according to the then current commercially available rates.

The Parties agree that as of the Effective Date, NeuStar has not established the commercially available rates for the Service. Therefore, prior to Participant’s obligation to pay beginning in the second (2^nd ) year of the Term, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a price and billing schedule to be attached hereto as Exhibit A. In the event that, after reasonable good faith negotiations, the Parties are unable to reach agreement on a price and billing schedule, Participant shall have the right to terminate its participation in the Program with no further liability for either Party.

7. SERVICE LEVELS. Participant agrees that the Service will be provided on an “as is” basis and that there will be no assured service level agreements, including but not limited to availability and system response times. Without limiting the generality of the above, however, NeuStar will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Service in a workmanlike and professional manner and to follow established industry best practices. The Parties agree that upon commencement of the second (2^nd) year of the Term, they shall negotiate appropriate service level agreements based upon mutual experience with the market which shall be attached as Exhibit C hereto. In the event that, after reasonable good faith negotiations, the Parties are unable to reach agreement on a service level agreement, Participant shall have the right to terminate its participation in the program with no further liability.

8. ADVISORY BOARD. Participant agrees to serve during the Term as a member of NeuStar’s Product Advisory Board for the Service. NeuStar expects that this board will meet approximately twice per year for the purpose of soliciting feedback and advice on the Service and possible enhancements or changes thereto.

9. NORTH AMERICAN SERVICES. Participant agrees that during the Term, NeuStar shall be the sole and exclusive provider of the Service to Participant with respect to any telephone numbers in the North America Numbering Plan (NANP). In addition, during the Term, Participant shall not develop its own equivalent of the Service for use with NANP telephone numbers, nor shall Participant enter into any negotiations, discussions or agreements with any organization regarding the purchase of the Service or its equivalent for NANP telephone numbers.

10. TERMINATION. In the event that either Party commits a material breach of these Terms & Conditions, the other Party may, by giving written notice to the defaulting Party, terminate Participant’s participation in the Program, provided that the breaching Party shall have thirty (30) days to cure any such breach. The foregoing notwithstanding, the non-defaulting party may pursue any legal remedies it may have under applicable law or principles of equity relating to such breach and subject to the terms of this Section.

Either Party may immediately terminate Participant’s participation in the program if the other Party (a) becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt; (b) is the subject of any proceeding related to its liquidation or insolvency (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days; or (c) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Termination refers to the termination of the Parties’ respective commitments and obligations from and after the date of termination, but does not relieve the Parties of their payment, if any, and other obligations incurred prior to the date of termination.

11. LIABILITY. EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY HEREUNDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF (I) ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES, OR (II) AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID (INCLUDING BOTH PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST) TO NEUSTAR BY CUSTOMER IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONTESTED SERVICE OVER THE PRECEEDING TWELVE (12) MONTHS FROM THE TIME THE EVENT RESULTING IN LIABILITY OCCURS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES. WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEUSTAR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY PARTICIPANT OR ITS END USERS BY REASON OF ANY FAILURE IN OR BREAKDOWN OF THE CLEARINGHOUSE, THE SERVICE OR NEUSTAR-PROVIDED WEB APPLICATION SOFTWARE, OR FOR ANY INTERRUPTION OR DEGRADATION OF THE SAME, WHATEVER THE CAUSE OR DURATION THEREOF.

12. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, NEUSTAR

13. CONFIDENTIALITY. For a period of two (2) years from the date of disclosure thereof, or such longer period as required by regulation, law or court order, each Party shall use at least the same degree of care, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent unauthorized disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information as it employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure of its own Confidential Information of a similar nature. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, Confidential Information shall mean any information that a Party indicates to the other Party is, or that the other Party is on notice or with respect to which a reasonable Party should be on notice, confidential in nature (e.g., marked “confidential” or “proprietary”).

14. PUBLICITY. Neither Party shall identify, either expressly or by implication, the other Party or use any of their trade names, trademarks, service marks, or other proprietary marks in any advertising, sales presentation, news releases, advertising, or other promotional or marketing materials without such other Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NeuStar may identify Participant as an IP Traffic Exchange Participant and shall have the right to issue a press release describing the Program and identifying Participant as a charter participant of the Program.

15. DATA OWNERSHIP AND USE. The Parties agree that Participant shall maintain sole and exclusive ownership of the data that it provides NeuStar to provision the Service and that such data shall be considered Confidential Information hereunder; provided, however, that NeuStar shall have the right to disclose elements of such data to other users of the Service only for the purpose of providing the Service as contemplated hereunder.

16. SERVICE OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE. NeuStar, or its licensors, has and shall have sole and exclusive ownership of all right, title and interest in and to the IP Traffic Exchange service, including, but not limited to, associated hardware, software, interfaces, and documentation, and all portions and copies thereof, including all associated intellectual property rights. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything else herein, Participant grants to NeuStar a non-exclusive right to use, reproduce, access, modify, distribute, transmit, exchange, export and relay any of the Participant’s data in the IP Traffic Exchange service to the extent necessary for NeuStar to provide the Service. NeuStar grants to Participant a non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to use the IP Traffic Exchange service and any associated web application software or tools for the limited purposes set forth herein. Except as provided herein, Participant shall not modify, create derivative works based on, loan, rent, lease, give, sublicense, transfer, publish, disclose, display, reverse engineer, decompile, translate, adapt, or disassemble the IP Traffic Exchange service or associated web application software or tools.

18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter herein, and supersede all prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter contained therein. These Terms and Conditions may be modified only by a written instrument executed by both parties.

19. ASSIGNMENT. Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions without prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

20. GOVERNING LAW. These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to its principles of conflict of laws or the U.N Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The Parties hereby expressly opt-out from the applicability of any State’s version of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (“UCITA”).
