This Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of 1st September 2003("Effective Date") by and between iBasis Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("iBasis") and Vistula Limited, a UK based limited company, with a business address at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ("Service Partner") (collectively "Parties" or individually a "Party").

WHEREAS, iBasis has established the iBasis Network™ and the Parties desire to provide each other international telephony services and other associated services ("Services") in accordance with the terms and conditions described in this Agreement and the Appendices attached hereto.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties acknowledge, the Parties agree as follows:

	1.4	Service Partner shall, at its own expense, take all actions necessary to make each such POP(s) operational, and shall ensure that each POP is on-line and fully operational within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date.
2.	USAGE CHARGES
	2.1	Each Party shall maintain a usage charge schedule ("Usage Charge Schedule") that shall set forth the wholesale usage charge for each locale where calls may be terminated.
		2.1.1	For each telephone call originated by iBasis (iBasis origination), iBasis shall pay to Service Partner the usage charge specified in Service Partner Usage Charge Schedule according to the destination of the telephone call. The Service Partner Usage Charge Schedule is set forth in Appendix B.
		2.1.2	For each telephone call originated by a Service Partner (Service Partner origination), Service Partner shall pay to iBasis the usage charge specified in the iBasis Usage Charge Schedule according to the destination of the telephone call. The iBasis Usage Charge Schedule is set forth in Appendix C.

	2.2	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Usage Charges issued by iBasis are computed in one (1) second increments with a minimum of one (1) seconds per call and Usage Charges issued by Service Partner are computed in one (1) second increments with a minimum of one (1) second per call. Usage Charges may be periodically changed, and a revised Usage Charge Schedule shall be effective five (5) days after such revised schedule is provided to the other Party. Revisions shall be communicated in writing via fax using a rate modification notice ("Rate Modification Notice"). Charges shall accrue upon completion of the first test call. The Usage Charge Schedules in effect as of the Effective Date are attached hereto as Appendix B and C or otherwise incorporated hereto.
	2.3	In the event that Service Partner purchases POP equipment ("POP Equipment") from iBasis, Service Partner agrees to pay for the equipment and associated maintenance costs in accordance with Appendix D. If for any reason Service Partner does not pay for the full price of the POP Equipment on the Effective Date, iBasis reserves the right to repossess all POP Equipment and enter Service Partner's premises during business hours to regain possession of all such equipment it provides. Service Partner shall be liable for damage, theft, misappropriation or loss of any POP Equipment. POP Equipment shall only be used to terminate or originate traffic over the iBasis Network.
	2.4	In the event that Service Partner uses iBasis' IP CallCard Service including CallCard Hosting Services and access-number dialing, Service Partner shall pay to iBasis the usage charge specified in the IP CallCard Service Addendum attached hereto as Appendix F.

3.	SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT
	3.1	Invoices shall be submitted on a weekly basis, covering charges for the previous seven (7) days. Payment must be made within seven (7) days from the date of the invoice (the "Due Date"). Payment shall be made by wire transfer in accordance with Appendix G.
	3.2	The Parties agree to provide the right to offset amounts owed to one another leading to a net balance payment by the debtor party. In such case, the net balance on each invoice shall be paid by the debtor Party to the creditor Party in accordance with Section 3.1.
	3.3	If payment is not received by either Party by the Due Date, a late fee of the lesser of (a) one and one-half (1¹/2) percent per month or (b) the maximum percentage permitted by law shall be assessed on Parties delinquent balance of undisputed usage not paid by the Due Date.
	3.4	Each Party's execution of this Agreement signifies its acceptance of the other Party's initial and continuing credit approval procedures and policies. Each Party reserves the right to withhold initiation or full implementation of any or all Services under this Agreement pending its initial satisfactory credit review and approval thereof which may be conditioned upon terms specified by it, including, but not limited to, security for payments due hereunder in the form of a cash deposit or other means. Each Party reserves the right to modify its requirements, if any, with respect to any security or other assurance provided by the other Party for payments due hereunder in light of that other Party's actual usage when compared to projected usage levels upon which any security or assurance requirement was based.

	3.5	If at any time there is a material adverse change in the other Party's creditworthiness, then in addition to any other remedies available to, each Party may elect, in its sole discretion, to exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) cause start of the Services to be withheld; (ii) cease providing Services pursuant to a suspension notice in accordance with Section 6.2; (iii) decline to accept requests to provide Services which it may otherwise be obligated to accept; and/or (iv) condition its provision of Services on an assurance of payment which shall be a deposit or such other means to establish reasonable assurance of payment. An adverse material change in the other Party's creditworthiness shall include, but not be limited to: (a) material default of its obligations under this or any other agreement between the Parties; (b) failure to make full payment of all undisputed charges due hereunder on or before the Due Date three (3) or more occasions during any period of twelve (12) or fewer months or failure to make such payment on or before the Due Date in any two (2) consecutive months; (c) acquisition (whether in whole or by majority or controlling interest) by an entity which is insolvent, which is subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, which owes past due amounts to it or any entity affiliated with it or which is a materially greater credit risk than the other Party; or, (d) the other Party's being subject to or having filed for bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings (or that Party's legal insolvency).
	3.6	Each Party shall be solely responsible for billing and collection from its own service partners and customers. No payments due hereunder are contingent on payment due to either party from its own service partners or customers. Under no circumstances shall either Party be responsible to the other for fraudulent or unbillable calls, credits given by the other Party, bad debts or other uncollectible amounts incurred by the other Party.
	3.7	Disputes. The Parties shall promptly investigate any disputed charges and any other amount payable under this Agreement in the event of a dispute. If the disputed amount is less than three (3) percent of the total (excluding taxes) of the relevant invoice, the total amount invoiced shall be due and payable on or before the due date. If the amount in dispute is more than three (3) percent of the total (excluding taxes) of the relevant invoice, the disputed amount may be withheld until the dispute is resolved. Disputed amounts less than three (3) percent shall be refunded to the paying Party if the dispute is resolved in its favor. Any request for a billing adjustment must be made in good faith and in writing within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Invoices shall be deemed accepted where written objections are not lodged within such thirty (30) day period. Notification of any contested or disputed amount must be in writing and delivered in accordance with Section 11.4. Written notification must be accompanied with a detailed written support, for any service interruption credit or other credit to which the Party requesting the billing adjustment believes itself entitled, and both Parties will promptly address and attempt to resolve the claim. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute amicably, it shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 11.3.
	3.8	The charges specified in this Agreement are exclusive of value added tax ("VAT"), or any other applicable tax, which, if due and owing, shall be added to the invoice and charged to and paid by the Service Partner at the then prevailing rate. Any applicable sales tax exemptions must be certified in writing to iBasis and supported by appropriate documentation. Neither Party shall be liable for any taxes based on the other Party's net income.
4.	INVOICES
	4.1	Invoices should detail number of completed calls, chargeable minutes, rate per minute, and total cost for each individual route and provide a subtotal of these figures by country.
