 13.3 Termination for
Insolvency. Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective immediately, if the other party should become the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding or make an
assignment or other arrangement for the benefit of its creditors, and such action is not discharged or terminated within ninety (90) days. 
  
 13.4 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement: 
  

	 	(a)	Customer shall pay Santera amounts due for all Products or Licensed Materials delivered as of the effective date of termination, all Purchase Orders for Products and Licensed
Materials to be delivered after the effective date of the termination of the Agreement, and all Services rendered irrespective of the date of delivery or performance of the Services and all other amounts due. 

  

	 	(b)	Customer shall immediately discontinue all use of the Trademarks and return to Santera all materials using the Trademarks. 

  

	 	(c)	Each party will promptly return to the other party all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession or control, and will provide the other party with a written
certification, signed by one of its officers, certifying to the return of such Confidential Information. 

  
 13.5 Survival. Articles 4, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 14 and Sections 15.1, 15.2, and 15.6 will survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
  
 In the event that a dispute arises under this Agreement, Customer and Santera will attempt in
good faith to promptly resolve such dispute by negotiations between senior officers of each party. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of a party’s written request for negotiation, such dispute may, by the mutual agreement of
Customer and Santera, be referred to non-binding alternative dispute resolution, under rules and at a site to be mutually agreed to between the parties. A decision by the neutral arbitrator(s) or mediator(s) shall not be binding on the parties
unless the parties agree otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from resorting to judicial proceedings if (i) good faith efforts to resolve a dispute under these procedures have been
unsuccessful, or (ii) interim relief from a court is needed to prevent serious or irreparable harm to one party or to others, including by way of example and not limitation, harm that may occur from the disclosure of confidential information. The
parties consent to and shall bring action relating to any dispute the parties may have hereunder,

despite any other applicable statute of limitations established under Texas law or any other state law, within one (1) year of the occurrence of such
dispute. 
  
 ARTICLE 15. GENERAL 
  
 15.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes
all prior oral and written understandings, between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. Any modification or addition to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both parties. In case of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement (including the exhibits) and of a Purchase Order, Addendum (including any attachments to it) or any other modification or addition entered into by the parties in accordance with this Section 15.1
collectively, “Additional Agreement”), the provisions of the most recent Additional Agreement shall take precedence. 
  
 15.2 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its rules on choice of
law. 
  
 15.3 Independent Contractor. Each party is an independent
contractor and is not an agent of the other. This Agreement does not create an agency, partnership, joint venture, or similar business relationship. Neither party nor its employees has the authority to bind or commit the other party in any way or to
incur any obligation on its behalf. Neither party will require releases or waivers of any personal rights from representatives or employees of the other to visit the party’s premises, nor shall a party plead such a release or waiver in any
action or proceeding. 
  
 15.4 Severability. If any portion of this
Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect. 
  
 15.5 Waiver. If either party fails to enforce
any right or remedy available under this Agreement, that failure will not be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach or failure by the other party. 
  
 15.6 Notice. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and be sent by certified United States mail
(return receipt requested), by overnight delivery, by courier, or by confirmed telecopy addressed to the respective party as follows:

 A notice will be
effective when received as shown on the delivery receipt. A party may change its designated representative or address by giving notice to the other as provided above. 
  
 15.7 Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations under this Agreement, neither party will be responsible for any delay or failure
in performance to the extent such delay or failure is caused by fire, strike, embargo, explosion, earthquake, flood, war, water, the elements, labor dispute, government requirements, acts of God, inability to secure raw materials or transportation
facilities, acts or omissions of transportation carriers or suppliers, or other causes

beyond a party’s control, provided that such party gives prompt written notice thereof to the other party and uses its diligent efforts to resume
performance. 
  
 15.8 Assignment. Except as provided in this Section
15.8, neither party will assign this Agreement or any right or interest, or delegate any work or obligation to be performed, under this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Either party may assign this Agreement and the rights and obligations outlined herein to an entity obtaining a majority of the stock or assets of either party, provided that the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, Santera reserves the right to refuse an assignment to a party that is unable to provide adequate financial/credit assurances. 
  
 15.9 Subcontractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a party from employing a subcontractor in carrying out its obligations
under this Agreement. A party’s use of such subcontractor shall not release the party from its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 15.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument. 
  
 In witness whereof, each party has caused its
authorized representative to sign this Agreement as of the Effective Date.

 This section covers the installation quality of non-Santera equipment. DSX/T1 termination: 
  
 Santera is responsible for the termination of its Tl cables from the back of the MSF unit to the customer-provided DSX patch panel. Care must be taken to make these
terminations correct the first time because they are connectorized cables routed from the MSF. 
  

	 ̈     ̈	Verify that cables are protected at all locations where they come in contact with sharp edges. Example: cable raceway break offs, threaded rods and entering/exiting computer floors.



	 ̈     ̈	Verify that cables are formed as straight as possible with no crossovers. 


	 ̈     ̈	Verify that cables are labeled showing the origination and destination point. 


	 ̈     ̈	Labels contain the following information: SanteraOne system location, MSF unit #, circuit pack slot and port # and far end termination. 


	 ̈     ̈	Verify that cables are secured to vertical arms per customer specification (lace or tie-wrap). 


	 ̈     ̈	If the cables are tie-wrapped, use an “X” pattern with the head of the tie-wrap on the backside of the bundle. If lacing cord is used, Use the current customer standards,
i.e. (Chicago, Kansas City or “H” stitch may be appropriate). 


	 ̈     ̈	Verify the T1 cable is butted in the correct location. 


	 ̈     ̈	Verify that heat shrink or tape is used to protect butt. Approximately one inch beyond butt onto cable sheath and one inch past butt onto unsheathed cable. 



	 ̈     ̈	Verify that cables are formed on DSX support bracket per customer request. 


	 ̈     ̈	Verify that T1 wires are formed into a neat even bundle on the support bracket. 


	 ̈     ̈	Verify that the rear of the DSX patch panel is clean with no refuse or wire droppings. 

  
 Fiber terminations: 
  

	 ̈     ̈	Verify all cables are labeled correctly. 


	 ̈     ̈	Verify all termination connections are seated properly and locked in place. 


	 ̈     ̈	Verify cables are protected as needed where supported. 

  
 The objective of this Section is to outline pre in-service commissioning criteria to be performed by the Santera installation team. The Santera installation team is
not responsible for post-installation services such as circuit activation, cutover or integration of the system into Customer’s network. If post-installation services are needed, please contact your Santera account manager. 
  

	 ̈     ̈	Grounding Audit: After installation and final system testing of the SanteraOne are completed, a final ground audit must be performed and the results compared against the
initial audit. A soft copy of these results are to be sent to Santera’s Customer Support Center and kept on file for the life of the system. 


	 ̈     ̈	Power Verification: Power verification is performed after physical installation has been completed to verify that all installed power is connected properly. Power
verification confirms that there are no power supply leads connected directly to ground. 


	 ̈     ̈	 System Clock: During the on-site phase, the customer clock source and the system clock are checked to ensure an in-sync state exist, ensuring that the
SanteraOne system’s internal stratum system clock is functioning properly. This test is performed during the staging phase of commissioning. Both the primary and secondary internal clocks should be brought to an in-sync state when connected
directly to a Stratum 3 source and when slaving from Tl timing spans. Commissioning the SanteraOne system with the internal clock running in free mode is 



  


			
	 Confidential Information of Santera Systems Inc.
	  	26










	 	 
not acceptable. In each mode of timing proper system reaction must occur during switchover, internal clock failure and loss of primary or secondary clock
source. 



	 ̈     ̈	External Access Setup: During the on-site phase of final system testing, configuration of external access for Santera Customer Support and Profession Services needs to
be provisioned and access tested. If Customer is providing a link for down stream billing it may also be provisioned at this time. Santera is not responsible for access to Customer’s private LAN/WAN. 


	 ̈     ̈	T1 Card Loop-back Testing: Each T1 card has 5 connectors to accommodate 5 T1 cables for processing 60 T1 signals. Each T1 connector has 51 pins. A loopback test proves that
all channels are capable of carrying traffic. The loopback test requires a special test connector that, when connected to the T1 card connector, loops back each transmit pin to its associated receive pin. The wiring of the special connector is shown
below. The pins are connected using no. 24 wire.

 To perform a loopback
test of a T1 card, use the following steps. 
  

	 	1.	Remove all T1 cables to the T1 card that is to be tested. 

  

	 	2.	Connect the test connector to the top of the T1 card. 

  

	 	3.	At the EMS GUI, configure the SM card to sequentially loopback each of the transmit/receive pairs (channels 1 through 12). 

  

	 	4.	At the EMS GUI, set up the built-in bit-error-rate tester (BERT) located on the SM card to generate a pattern of alternate ones and zeros. 

  

	 	5.	Verify that the pattern is received. This test proves that each channel of the card for the connector under test is open and capable of transmitting/receiving traffic.


  

	 	6.	Remove the test connector from the connector under test. Disregard any CGA alarms generated at this time for the channels being tested. 

  

	 	7.	Connect the T1 cables to the T1 card just tested. 

  

	 	8.	At the DSX panel, loopback channels 1 through 12. 

  

	 	9.	At the EMS GUI verify that the test pattern of alternate ones and zeros is still displayed. This indicates that all Tl cable transmit/receive pairs are capable of carrying traffic.


  

	 	10.	Repeat steps 2 through 9 for each of the four remaining T1 connectors. 

  

	 	11.	The test is now complete.

 Made as of this 31st day of December 2003 (the “Effective Date”), between
Arbinet-thexchange, Inc., a Delaware corporation having an office at 460 Herndon Parkway, Herndon, VA 10004 (“Customer”) and Tekelec, a California corporation, on behalf of itself and its majority owned subsidiary Santera Systems Inc.,
having an office at 3605 East Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75074 (“Tekelec”). 
  
 WHEREAS, Customer and Santera Systems Inc. (“Santera”) entered into a Master Procurement Agreement dated March 7, 2003 (the “Agreement”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, Customer and Santera amended the Agreement on September 5, 2003 (“Amendment No.1”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, Santera is now a majority owned subsidiary of Tekelec, and Tekelec agrees to assume
the obligations of Santera under the Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Customer and

	 	c.	If Customer fails to meet the annual Volume Commitment, as determined by Tekelec and Customer on December 15th of each calendar year period, Tekelec shall be entitled to invoice
Customer and Customer agrees to pay Tekelec, the lesser of an amount equal to (i) the difference between the committed dollar amount (based on the number of ports multiplied by $36.50) and the dollar amount of TDM DSO ports actually purchased by
Customer during the applicable annual period, based on a per-DSO charge of $36.50, or (ii) the price of the TDM DSO ports purchased and delivered to Customer at the original pricing set forth in Exhibit B of the Agreement (collectively “i”
and “ii” shall be referred to as the “Shortfall Purchase”). TDM DSOs purchased as part of the Shortfall Purchase will be shipped to Customer based on a mutually agreed to shipment schedule. 

  

	 	d.	In the event that Customer does not meet ‘Total 2004” Volume Commitment in Table 1 above, Customer will pay (i) penalties as described in Section 2.c. above, and (ii) an
additional penalty amount equal to the difference between “Total 2003” Volume Commitment multiplied by $36.50 per port and the price of the TDM DSO ports purchased and delivered to Customer at the original pricing set forth in Exhibit B of
the Agreement. 

  

	 	e.	Customer may purchase ahead of the commitment schedule listed in Table 1 of this Amendment. At such time as all of the 186,028 TDM DSO ports have been purchased, Customer shall not
have any further obligation to purchase any additional ports. 

  

	 	f.	Customer will not be charged for the Shortfall Purchase for any period during which Tekelec is unable to fulfill a Purchase Order. If, for reasons solely attributable to Tekelec,
Customer is unable to meet the Volume Commitment for a period of greater than ninety (90) days, the price for the TDM DSOs being delayed will be discounted by $0.50, to $36.00 per TDM DSO. If delays continue for a second consecutive period of ninety
(90) days to one hundred and eighty (180) days, the price for the TDM DSOs being delayed for that site will be discounted by $1.00, to $35.50 per TDM DSO. If delays continue for a third consecutive period to two hundred and seventy (270) days, the
price for the TDM DSOs being delayed will be discounted by $1.50, to $35.00 per TDM DSO. Discounts will be issued in the form of credits that can be applied against open invoices or future purchases. 

  

	 	g.	If, during an annual period of the Volume Commitment, Customer purchases a lesser amount of TDM DSO ports than that required to meet the applicable annual Volume Commitment, Tekelec
may, at its option, cancel the Volume Commitment for the upcoming annual period and TDM DSO pricing will revert back to the DSO pricing set forth in Exhibit B of the Agreement. Cancellation of the Volume Commitment will be provided to Customer in
writing.

	 	h.	On a quarterly basis, during the first week of each quarter, Customer agrees to use best efforts to provide Tekelec with a written forecast of the Products Customer anticipates
ordering, on a per site basis, during the next six (6) month period commencing from the date of the effective date of this Amendment. 

  

	 	i.	Tekelec agrees to the TDM DSO price of $36.50 per port (using Tekelec E-1 interface cards) for international configurations until Tekelec’s STM-1 interface becomes generally
available. Following general availability of the STM-1 interface, the $36.50 per TDM DSO price will only be available to Customer when utilizing the STM-1 interface. Expansions via E-l interface cards will be priced at $50.00 per TDM DSO.


  

	 	j.	Tekelec agrees to the price of $36.50 per TDM DSO for new System installations ordered with a minimum of 16,128 TDM DSO ports (typical configuration 12,096 active, 4,032 redundant).
Prior to general availability of the STM-1 interface, the minimum system configuration for an international System shall be 10,800 TDM DSO ports using the Tekelec E1 interface (typical configuration 9,000 active, 1,800 redundant).


  

	 	k.	Tekelec agrees to the price of $36,50 per TDM DSO for existing System installations provided that (i) the expansion into a new chassis will not occur until the existing chassis
capacity has been exhausted, (ii) for installations in North America when expanding an existing chassis, Customer shall order a minimum of 4,032 TDM DSOs per System, (iii) for installations in North America when expanding into a new chassis,
Customer shall order a minimum of 12,096 TDM DSOs per expansion BoX (typical configuration 8,064 active, 4,032 redundant), and (iv) for installations outside of North America when expanding an existing chassis, Customer shall order a minimum of
5,400 TDM DSOs per expansion BoX (typical configuration 3,600 active, 1,800 redundant). The number of TDM DSOs changes back to 4,032 upon general availability of Tekelec’s STM-1 interface. 

  

	 	l.	TDM DSO pricing described in this Amendment No. 2 supersedes and replaces the DSO pricing outlined in Exhibit B of the Agreement. All other pricing in Exhibit B, for Services and
component level add-ons, remains the same. 

  

	 	m.	In the event that Customer purchases and takes delivery of more than $7,500,000 of Products, Licensed Materials and Services from Tekelec during the term of the Volume Commitment
period, Customer may order TDM DSOs for the remainder of the Volume Commitment period at the per port rates described below:
