SCHEDULE D-1

SERVICE OFFERING: ATAC & REMOTE MAINTENANCE

Attached to and made a part of the GLOBAL MASTER PURCHASE AGREEMENT (GMPA) including SCHEDULE D between ANDA Networks Inc. (“ANDA”) and MCI (“Customer”), ANDA contract number MCI0104C, dated JAN-1-2004 (the “Agreement”).

 

1. DEFINITIONS

All capitalized terms used herein, but not defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to said terms in the Agreement.

 

1.1 Problem Severity

ANDA defines three problem severity classifications for Reported Problems aligning with TL9000 R3.0 standards. In order to classify a request, ANDA technical support personnel will confirm with Customer the impact of the reported problem to determine an appropriate classification. Where parties disagree on the classification of a particular Reported Problem, Customer and ANDA technical contacts will undertake to discuss the problem with a view to reaching a mutually acceptable classification, where possible.

 

a. Critical; Reported Problems that severely affect service, capacity/traffic, billing / statistics collection or maintenance capabilities and require immediate corrective action, regardless of time of day or day of the week as viewed by Customer upon discussion with ANDA.

 

b. Major: Reported Problems that seriously affect system operation, maintenance and administration and require immediate attention as viewed by the Customer upon discussions with ANDA. The urgency is less than in critical situations because of a lesser immediate or impending effect on system performance, customers and the Customer’s operation and revenue.

 

c. Minor: Reported Problems that do not significantly impair the functioning of the system and do not significantly affect service to customers. These problems are not traffic affecting.

 

1.2 General Availability

“General Availability” (“GA”) shall mean Identified hardened product that is available for general release to customers. Product is now volume manufactured and standard ordering procedures will apply with no further approvals required.

 

1.3 Maintenance Release Software

“Maintenance Release Software” means existing general availability (“GA”), periodic and regular software releases provided by ANDA hereunder that primarily contains software fixes for a given GA Feature Release Software and the previous GA Feature Release Software.

 

1.4 Feature Release Software

“Feature Release Software” means the current GA major or minor level release and the previous GA major or minor level release software that primarily contains new software features and functionality.

 

1.5 Reported Problem

“Reported Problem” means an apparent failure of a Product to materially function in accordance with the published specifications for such Product, which has been properly reported to the ANDA Customer Service Center.

 

1.6 First Level Support

First Level Support activities means the process of verifying:

 

  a. The Product has been installed in accordance with ANDA installation specifications

 

  b. The desired application is supported by the Product

 

  c. All options have been configured properly to support the application

 

2 SERVICE DESCRIPTION

ANDA will provide Customer with this Service Offering for a fixed annual fee set out in the “Service Charges” section for the Products listed in the “Products” section. This Service Offering may be provided for other Products or parts on a fee-per-service basis, at ANDA’s then current rates.

ANDA’s TAC & Remote Maintenance service is designed to provide Customer operation teams with secondary technical support following initial Customer performed First-Level problem isolation and analysis. The following are the service deliverables:

 

  a. Remote Phone Support

 

  b. Remote Access & Diagnostics

 

  •  

Hardware Debugging

 

  •  

Software Debugging

 

  c. ‘ACCeSS’ On-Line Support Documentation and Software

 

  d. On-Site Intervention by a Technical Expert (Optional—additional charges apply)

 

2.1 Remote Phone Support

▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

 

If Customer’s service request cannot be processed immediately, Customer will be called back by ANDA, as described in the “Service Level Targets” section below.

If the Reported Problem cannot be solved by means of Remote Phone Support, ANDA will then attempt to solve the Reported Problem by means of Remote Access & Diagnostics.

 

2.2 Remote Access & Diagnostics (“RAD”)

If RAD is required, ANDA will access Customer network or Product by means of a remote connection, if access is made available by Customer.

ANDA will then try to determine the present state of the Products encountering the Reported Problem, conduct problem analysis and propose corrective action or a workaround for the Reported Problem. There are two diagnostic activities comprising RAD:

 

a. Hardware Debugging – Remote isolation and analysis of suspected defective Hardware. Hardware debugging is performed on suspected faulty Hardware until confirmed faulty or functional. If a part is identified as faulty. Customers will be directed to swap-out the defective Hardware with replacement hardware from Customers spares. Where remote debugging is not feasible in ANDA’s opinion, Customer may instead be directed to replace and return the suspected Hardware to ANDA for testing according to the terms and conditions of the standard repair service.

 

b. Software debugging is performed on product software suspected of being faulty. This includes isolating the software problem and implementing a work around solution or applying a Maintenance Release Software version if available to correct the Reported Problem.

During the RAD, ANDA will notify Customer of its actions and make reasonable efforts to avoid impacting traffic in the applicable Customer network. This includes coordinating maintenance windows with Customer.

If a Reported Problem cannot be solved by means of RAD and assistance by Customer’s on site staff, ANDA and Customer will consider the possibility of on-site intervention by an ANDA Product Specialist.

 

2.3 ‘ACCeSS’ On-Line Support Documentation and Software

‘ACCeSS’ On-line Support Documentation & Software provides access via the internet (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) to support documentation and software related to ANDA Products, such as Product documentation, Product Change Notifications (PCN’s) and Product Information Bulletins (PIB’s).

 

2.4 On-Site Intervention by a Technical Expert

An optional part of this Service Offering is On-Site Intervention. The decision to have an ANDA Product Specialist on site must be mutually agreed to by both Customer and ANDA. The additional charges and payment for such an intervention must be agreed to in advance. In the event of any disagreement, ANDA will continue to try to resolve the Reported Problem via Remote Phone Support and RAD.

(“Seller”), a Delaware corporation, with offices located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall take on the meaning ascribed to them in the Original Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Buyer and Seller previously entered into a Purchase Agreement dated as of November 15, 2004 (the “Original Agreement”).

WHEREAS, the Buyer and Seller wish to amend the terms of the Original Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Amendment to Article 12 (Compliance with Law). Article 12 to the Original Agreement shall be deleted and amended in its entirety as set forth below:

“ARTICLE 12

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; HOMOLOGATION

12.1 Seller agrees and warrants that Seller and all of Seller’s Products shall comply with all applicable permits and licenses and all requirements of applicable laws, orders, regulations and standards (“Provisions”) including, without limitation, Provisions relating to equal employment opportunity, nondiscrimination based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, disabilities, or ethnic origin, wages and hours, occupational safety and health, and immigration. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer, its affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns and intended beneficiaries harmless from and against all liabilities, claims, costs, damages (including, without limitation, punitive or special damages), losses or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and allocated in-house legal expenses) arising out of the breach of this Article 12.1.

12.2 Export Law Control.

(a) The parties hereby acknowledge that the Products and technology or direct products thereof (hereafter referred to as “Products and Technology”), supplied hereunder may be subject to export controls under the laws and regulations of the United States. Each party shall comply with such laws and regulations and agrees not to export, re-export or transfer Products and Technology without first obtaining all required United States government authorizations or licenses. The parties each agree to provide the other

such information and assistance as may reasonably be required by the other in connection with securing such authorizations or licenses, and to take timely action to obtain all required support documents, and to make timely reporting of encryption exports as required (15 US CFR Part 740). Seller shall provide in a timely manner, the export classification of all products and technology or direct products thereof, supplied.

(b) End-Use/User: The parties hereby certify that none of the Products and Technology supplied hereunder will be exported, re-exported, or otherwise transferred:

(1) to a U.S. embargoed or highly restricted destination (15 United States Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) Part 746);

(2) to any military end-user, or in any military end-use located in or operating under the authority of any country identified in Country Group Dl under 15 CFR, Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 (15 CFR Part 740);

(3) to any entity that is engaged in the design, development, production, stockpile or use of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons or missiles (15 CFR Part 744) or to support any known terrorist entities and/or terrorist activities as published in executive order #13224 dated 9/24/01; and

(4) to parties on any of the U.S. Government’s lists of denied persons (15 CFR Part 764) without first obtaining all required U.S. Government authorizations or licenses.

(c) Each party agrees to maintain a record of exports, re-exports, and transfers of the Products and Technology for seven years and to forward within that time period any required records, at the other party’s request, to the applicable U.S. federal agency.

(d) Seller acknowledges that the transfer of Products and Technology, and associated documentation outside of the United States may be subject to the specific approval of the applicable software suppliers and other suppliers. All such approvals, if applicable, shall be conditions precedent to any of the obligations of Seller hereunder respecting such Products and Technology and associated documentation.

12.3 Homologation and/or Type Approval/Certification

(a) Seller shall comply with the provisions of all material national and international laws, treaties, ordinances, regulations, and codes in effect on the Amendment Effective Date applicable to the locations in which the Products requested by MCI are installed pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Article 12.3, including without limitation any homologation and/or type approval/certification requirements for such Products. Subsequent changes to such laws that increase the cost of an Order placed under this Agreement will require a good faith Change Order

negotiation, which Seller and MCI agree to undertake. Seller shall indemnify MCI against all claims, proceedings, losses, and expenses arising as a result of non-compliance with the requirements of this paragraph.

(b) Exhibit F, attached hereto and incorporated herein, details all current and planned homologation and/or type approvals/certifications by Seller that are scheduled for implementation within one (1) year after the Amendment Effective Date, organized by country, including each product listing and relevant certification number. Seller shall update this list and provide it to MCI on a monthly basis.

(c) Seller shall bear all current and future homologation and/or type approval/certification costs for all countries in which Seller has current or planned homologation and/or type approval/certification plans set forth in Exhibit F as of the Amendment Effective Date. For all other countries, Seller and MCI shall mutually determine an acceptable allocation of costs for such homologation.

(d) In the event that MCI desires to use or operate a Product in a country in which the homologation and/or type approval/certification requirements for such Product may not yet be complied with by Seller, MCI shall notify Seller in writing. Seller shall respond in writing to MCI within ten (10) days of such notification, indicating its intended action plan with regard to such Product being homologated and/or type approved/certified in such country (the “Homologation Action Plan”). The Homologation Action Plan shall include the following: the relevant legal requirements, whether equipment may be tested before homologation is received, whether temporary homologation is available, and a proposed timeline for obtaining homologation based on the requirements of the country in question and MCI’s requirements. MCI shall provide any comments to the Homologation Action Plan within five (5) days of receipt of the plan from Seller. During the period Seller is in the process of obtaining homologation, upon request, Seller shall provide MCI with written updates of the progress. Prior to deployment, Seller agrees to obtain homologation and/or type approval/certification for Products that replace existing Products in those countries where MCI currently uses or operates such Product to be replaced.

(e) Seller shall use its best efforts to meet the agreed timeline for obtaining homologation and/or type approval/certification in a new country.

(f) Upon the request of MCI, Seller will provide, within five (5) days of such request, copies of all homologation certificates for countries for which Seller has current homologation.

(g) Seller shall produce Products and Services under a total quality process, such as ISO 9001/2.
