Access to Information.

(a)

From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) Completion or (ii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause 11, and subject to clause 7.1(b) and applicable law relating to the sharing of information (including applicable merger control, competition and anti-trust law), the Seller shall provide to Syniverse and the Buyer, shall cause the Target Group Companies and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives (including legal, financial and accounting advisors) to provide to Syniverse and the Buyer, access at all reasonable times, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Target Group, to the premises, properties, personnel, books, records (including Tax records) and documents of or pertaining to the Target Group as may be reasonably requested by Syniverse and the Buyer.

(b)

Information concerning customer-specific unit pricing, volume pricing tiers and service-level commitments governing the business relationship between any Target Group Company and its customers (the “Competitive Information”) shall only be made available to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or the then currently serving chief financial officer of Syniverse), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (collectively, the “Designated Persons”), and to such other persons as reasonably and mutually agreed between the Seller and Syniverse from time-to-time; provided that, the such Competitive Information may also be disclosed Syniverse’s legal, accounting and financial advisors so long as such advisors do not disclose such Competitive Information to any director, officer or employee of any Member of the Buyer Group who is not a Designated Person.

PAGE 13

(c)

For the avoidance of doubt, each Member of the Buyer Group and their respective representatives and advisors shall hold all information furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement by or on behalf of any Member of the Seller Group or any of their respective representatives in confidence in accordance with the terms of the confidentiality agreement dated 6 November 2006 by and between Syniverse and the Seller, as such agreement has been amended and supplemented by the parties from time to time.

7.2

SEC Filing. The Seller understands that Syniverse or one of its affiliates may file a securities filing (the “Filing”) with the SEC, which Filing might be required to include financial statements of the Target Group for periods prior to the Completion Date prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “S-X Financial Statements”).

Accordingly, promptly after the date of this Agreement the Seller shall, at the Buyer’s expense, make reasonable efforts to engage (on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller) its current independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP (or, if Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) is unwilling to accept such engagement, another internationally recognized firm of independent auditors reasonably acceptable to the Seller and Syniverse (E&Y, or any such other firm of independent auditors, the “Auditor”)), to begin an audit of the Target Group Companies in order to prepare the S-X Financial Statements. In addition, the Seller shall, at the Buyer’s expense, furnish, and shall procure that the Target Group Companies and shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that their respective representatives (including legal, financial and such independent auditors) shall furnish, to Syniverse and the Buyer any information or documents reasonably requested by Syniverse and the Buyer in the possession of any member of the Seller Group, or to which any member of the Seller Group has access, necessary or desirable for the completion of the S-X Financial Statements. For the avoidance of doubt, if any such provision of information as described in this clause 7.2 would, or would reasonably be likely to, result in or require access to, or the disclosure of, Competitive Information, such access or disclosure shall only be made in accordance with clause 7.1(b). The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the engagement of the Auditor, the delivery of the audit with respect to the Target Group Companies and the delivery of the S-X Financial Statements is not a condition to Completion.

7.3

Non-Solicitation; Acquisition Proposal.

(a)

The Seller agrees that prior to Completion (i) it, its subsidiaries and its and its subsidiaries’ officers and directors shall not, and (ii) it shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that its and the Target Group’s financial advisors, lawyers, accountants, employees, consultants or other agents, advisors and/or representatives shall not (A) directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit or facilitate any inquiries or the making or submission of any proposal or offer with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or (B) directly or indirectly, engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, or

PAGE 14

provide access to its properties, books and records or any confidential information or data to, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal or, except as provided below, execute or enter into any agreement, understanding, letter of intent or arrangement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement described below).

(b)

Subject to clause 7.3(c) and clause 7.3(d), neither the Seller, the Targets nor any of their respective Boards of Directors shall recommend to shareholders any Acquisition Proposal or approve any agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Seller or its Board of Directors from, prior to obtaining the Shareholder Consent, (A) providing access to its properties, books and records and providing information or data in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement or (B) engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that prior to taking any of the actions set forth in clauses (A) or (B) of clause (ii) above,

(i)

the Board of Directors of the Seller shall have determined in good faith, consistent with fiduciary considerations and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such action will result in a Superior Proposal (as defined below) from the party that made the applicable Acquisition Proposal, and

(ii)

the Seller shall have informed the Buyer promptly following (and in no event later than 24 (twenty four) hours after) the taking by it of any such action.

A “Superior Proposal” means an Acquisition Proposal that is reasonably capable of being consummated, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory, timing, and similar aspects of, and conditions to, the proposal, the likelihood of obtaining necessary financing and the Person making the proposal, and, if consummated, would in the reasonable belief of the Seller’s Board of Directors result in a transaction more favourable to the Seller’s shareholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after giving effect to any adjustments to the terms and provisions of this Agreement committed to in writing by the Buyer in response to such Acquisition Proposal).

(c)

In the case of a Superior Proposal that complies with clause 7.3(b), the Seller shall not enter into, and shall procure that no Member of the Seller Group enters into, any form of legally binding documentation in respect of such Superior Proposal, nor shall the Seller’s Board of Directors recommend any offer for the Seller, unless the Buyer fails, within three Business Days of receiving notice from the Seller of such Superior Proposal, (i) to confirm in writing that the Buyer or a Member of the Buyer Group intends to make an offer for the shares or the assets

PAGE 15

that are the subject of the Superior Proposal which would, in the reasonable opinion of the Seller’s financial advisers, provide the shareholders of the Seller at least five percent greater financial value on a per share basis than the Superior Proposal and is otherwise on terms which are, in the reasonable opinion of the Seller’s financial advisers, substantially equal to or not materially worse than those contained in the Superior Proposal (“Matched Proposal”) and (ii) to prosecute such offer expeditiously thereafter; provided, that in the case of a Superior Proposal for all or a majority of the outstanding issued share capital of the Seller or the whole or substantially the whole of the business or assets of the Seller Group, either of the following may constitute a Matched Proposal: (A) an offer for all or a majority of the outstanding issued share capital of the Seller or the whole or substantially the whole of the business or assets of the Seller Group or (B) a revised offer for the shares of the Target Companies that would, in the reasonable opinion of the Seller’s financial advisers when considered together with any North American Sale with respect to which, at the time of the revised offer, the Seller has entered into a definitive agreement, result in the shareholders of the Seller receiving at least five percent greater financial value on a per share basis than the Superior Proposal. In the event the Buyer provides written notice of a Matched Proposal to the Seller pursuant to this clause 7.3(c), the Seller agrees to procure that its directors approve and give a unanimous and unqualified recommendation of such Matched Proposal to its shareholder in connection with the Shareholder Consent.

(d)

If (i) at any time prior to obtaining the Shareholder Consent, the Seller’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was unsolicited and that did not otherwise result from a breach of clause 7.3(a) or 7.3(b), that such proposal is a Superior Proposal, (ii) the Buyer has not provided written notice of a Matched Proposal in accordance with clause 7.3(c), and (iii) the Seller otherwise complies with the terms and conditions of clause 11 below, the Seller may terminate this Agreement and/or its Board of Directors may approve or recommend such Superior Proposal to its shareholders and immediately prior to or concurrently with the termination of this Agreement enter into any agreement, understanding, letter of intent or arrangement with respect to such Superior Proposal, as applicable.

(e)

Prior to Completion, the Seller shall immediately cease and shall cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Seller also shall, if it has not already done so, promptly request, to the extent it has a contractual right to do so, that each Person, if any, that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement within the twelve months prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal shall return or destroy all confidential information or data heretofore furnished to any Person by or on behalf of it or any of its subsidiaries.

PAGE 16

(f)

The Seller shall promptly (and in any event no later than 24 (twenty four) hours after receipt of an Acquisition Proposal) notify the Buyer after receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and thereafter shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed of the status and material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers.

7.4

Technology Cooperation. Prior to Completion, the Target Group Companies will cooperate so far as is reasonably practicable with the Buyer and Syniverse to develop a plan for the post-Completion integration of the technology and business functions of the Target Group Companies, the Buyer and Syniverse, subject in all cases to applicable legal requirements or applicable law and insofar as such cooperation does not interfere with the normal business operations of the Target Group. For the avoidance of doubt, if any such cooperation as described in this clause 7.4 would, or would reasonably be likely to, result in or require access to, or the disclosure of, Competitive Information, such access or disclosure shall only be made in accordance with clause 7.1(b).

7.5

Financing Cooperation. Prior to Completion, the Seller shall provide, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to cause each Target Company and its representatives (including legal, financial and accounting advisors) to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by the Buyer Group in connection with the arrangement of the financing to be obtained by the Buyer Group in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Financing”) (it being understood that the completion of any Financing is not a condition to the obligations of the Buyer hereunder), including, without limitation, (i) assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, (ii) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents, or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral (provided that no such pledge or security documents shall be effective until Completion), (iii) furnishing the Buyer Group and their Financing sources as promptly as practicable with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Target Group Companies as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer, (iv) providing monthly accounts of the Target Group Companies (excluding footnotes) and annual audited accounts of the Seller Group within the time frame, and to the extent, such accounts are prepared, and (v) taking all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of Completion, reasonably requested by the Buyer Group to permit the consummation of the Financing and the direct borrowing or incurrence of all of the proceeds of the Financing, by the Target Group Companies immediately following Completion; provided that in each case such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Seller or the Target Group Companies. The Seller hereby consents to the use of its and the Target Group Companies’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Seller or the Target Group Companies or the reputation or goodwill of the Seller or the Target Group Companies and its or their marks. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if any such cooperation as described in this clause 7.5 would, or would reasonably be likely to, result in or require access to, or the disclosure of, Competitive Information, such access or disclosure shall only be made in accordance with clause 7.1(b), and (ii) for the purposes of this clause 7.5 only, the proviso set out in clause 7.1(b) in relation to Syniverse’s advisors shall be deemed to include representatives of Syniverse’s and the Buyer’s financing sources and their respective outside legal counsel.

Each party shall, and shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that any necessary third party shall, from time to time, execute such documents and perform such acts and things as either the Seller or the Buyer may reasonably require to transfer the Shares to the Buyer and to give each party the full benefit of this Agreement.

12.4

The Buyer shall not, so long as any of the Buyer’s obligations set out in clauses 12.2 to 12.3 (inclusive) or the warranties by the Buyer set out in clause 9 are applicable or capable of taking effect, cease to control any Target Group Company or any material part

PAGE 24

of its business without first procuring from the Person acquiring control an undertaking in a form satisfactory to, and in favour of, the Seller and its successor in title to be bound by such provisions to the same extent as the Buyer is bound.

12.5

To facilitate Syniverse’s operation of the business of the Target Group Companies (the “Business”) following Completion, the Seller shall (i) provide, or cause other Members of the Seller Group to provide, Syniverse, the Buyer, and the Target Group Companies with such transition services on the general terms set forth below as may be reasonably be requested by Syniverse to operate the Business (the “Services”), and (ii) cause such Members of the Seller Group that will be involved in providing the Services to execute a Joinder Agreement in the form as set forth in Schedule 7, pursuant to which such Member of the Seller Group shall join in and agree to become bound to the provisions of this clause 12.5 (the Seller and such Members of the Seller Group providing the Services, collectively, the “Service Provider”):

(a)

the Service Provider shall provide the Services for such length of time after Completion as Syniverse shall reasonably request and in consideration therefor Syniverse shall pay the Service Provider, in arrears on the last business day of each month, an amount equal to (i) the actual cost charged by the Seller Group for providing such Services to the Target Group Companies prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) any third-party costs and expenses incurred by the Service Provider with the prior consent of Syniverse in connection with the provision of the Services hereunder in excess of those actually incurred prior to the date of this Agreement by the Seller Group;

(c)

all information disclosed to the Service Provider, any other Member of the Seller Group or any other Person controlled by or under common control with the Service Provider or any other Member of the Seller Group by Syniverse or any other member of the Buyer Group (which, for purposes of this clause 12.5, shall include the Target Group Companies) pursuant to this clause 12.5 shall be deemed to be “Confidential Information” as defined in the Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Agreement, and the Service Provider’s use and disclosure of such information shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Agreement.

13	INSURANCE

13.1

The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that –

(a)

all insurance cover effected by the Seller or a Member of the Seller Group for the benefit of any Target Group Company will cease to have effect upon Completion and, accordingly, that it is the responsibility of the Buyer to effect new insurance for the benefit of the Target Group Companies with effect from Completion;

(b)

no Member of the Buyer Group shall make any claim after Completion under any insurance policy effected by the Seller or a Member of the Seller Group for the benefit of any Target Group Company; and

As of the Completion Date, the Buyer shall procure and maintain a liability insurance policy (or acquire a tail-policy) for the benefit of each Target Group Company’s officers and former officers, and directors and former directors to the fullest extent possible under applicable laws for a period of not less than six years from Completion; provided that the cost of such insurance cover shall not exceed $300,000, and if the cost of such insurance cover would exceed $300,000, then the Buyer shall procure and maintain the maximum insurance cover available at such price.

13.3

Nothing in this clause is intended to affect in any way or otherwise apply to insurances for the benefit of the Target Group effected by the landlord of any property occupied by a Target Group Company.

SCHEDULE 2

GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS

1	Completion is conditional upon the Conditions set out below (the “Competition Conditions”) being satisfied on or before the Long-Stop Date. The Competition Conditions are in respect of, for each of the jurisdictions mentioned in paragraph 2,

(a)

the receipt from the EC Commission or the appropriate National Competition Authority for each of the jurisdictions listed in paragraph 2 below and any other jurisdiction that may assert prior to Completion its authority under applicable competition laws over the Sale (hereafter referred to as the Relevant National Competition Authority/ies) by the Buyer Group, either unconditionally or on conditions acceptable to the Buyer Group in its sole discretion of consents to or approvals to the Sale; or

(b)

the expiry of any relevant waiting period without (x) any substantive objection being raised by the Relevant National Competition Authority or any Competent Authority to the Sale or (y) any court or administrative proceedings having been initiated or threatened under applicable competition or anti-trust laws.

To the best of the knowledge of both the Buyer Group and the Seller Group, and based on data exchanged between Syniverse and the Seller, in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement, merger filings will be required to be made in Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Spain, and Portugal. If it becomes apparent before Completion that notification is required in other jurisdictions, the Buyer Group and the Seller Group mutually agree to notify the Agreement to the Relevant National Competition Authority on the terms of this Schedule 2.

The Buyer Group shall promptly (and in any event within 15 Business Days from the date of this Agreement) submit the appropriate request to the EC Commission that the latter accept jurisdiction over the subject matter of this Agreement pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation 139/2004 in lieu of the separate national jurisdictions.

4	Within 10 Business Days of receiving an affirmative response pursuant to paragraph 3 above, the Buyer Group shall notify the subject matter of this Agreement to the EC Commission by submitting the notification prepared pursuant to this Agreement (the “Notification”).

In the event that the EC Commission does not accept jurisdiction, the Buyer Group will within 10 Business Days of receipt of notice of such non-acceptance, notify the subject matter of this Agreement by submitting the Notifications prepared pursuant to this Agreement (the “National Notifications”) to:

(a)

the Bundeskartellamt of the Federal Republic of Germany (the “Bundeskartellamt”);

PAGE 36

(b)

the Hellenic Competition Commission of Greece (the “HCC”);

(c)

the Competition Protection Office of the Republic of Slovenia (the “CPO”);

(d)

the Servicio de Defensa de la Competencia of the Kingdom of Spain (the “Servicio de Defensa de la Competencia”); and

(e)

Autoridade da Concorrência of Portgual (the “Autoridade da Concorrência”).

The Buyer Group shall be responsible for making and progressing the Notification or National Notifications as the case might be. The Buyer Group shall give such undertakings and accept such conditions as the EC Commission or the Relevant National Competition Authority shall require of it as a condition of granting the consents to the Sale (such undertakings and conditions, collectively “Competition Authority Approval Conditions”); provided that (a) such Competition Authority Approval Conditions are acceptable to the Buyer Group in its sole discretion, (b) if and to the extent such Competition Authority Approval Conditions materially and adversely affect the Seller Group (other than as a result of the Buyer Group electing not to accept such Competition Authority Approval Conditions), such Competition Authority Approval Conditions shall also be acceptable to the Seller Group in its sole discretion, and (c) nothing herein shall obligate the Seller Group to accept a reduction in Consideration in order to induce the Buyer Group to accept any Competition Authority Approval Conditions.

Subject to paragraphs 9 and 10 of this Schedule 2, the Buyer Group shall consult with the Sellers’ Solicitors (on behalf of the Sellers) in respect of the Notification or National Notifications and shall provide the Sellers’ Solicitors (on behalf of the Sellers) with a reasonable opportunity to review such filings prior to their submission to the Relevant Competition Authorities. For the purposes of this clause a “reasonable opportunity” shall mean two Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed by the parties to be required or practicable under the circumstances.

8	The Buyer Group undertakes to use all reasonable endeavours to keep the Sellers’ Solicitors (on behalf of the Sellers) promptly informed as to progress towards satisfaction of the Competition Conditions and further undertakes to use all reasonable endeavours to:

(a)

notify the Sellers’ Solicitors (on behalf of the Sellers) promptly and provide copies of any communications from the EC Commission or any Relevant National Competition Authority in relation to obtaining any consent, approval or action where such communications have not been independently or simultaneously supplied to the Sellers’ Solicitors;

(b)

where reasonably requested by the Sellers, provide the Sellers’ Solicitors (on behalf of the Sellers) promptly with draft copies of all submissions and communications to the EC Commission or the Relevant National Competition Authorities or other persons in relation to obtaining any consent, approval or

PAGE 37

action at such time as will allow the Sellers’ Solicitors (on behalf of the Sellers) a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on such submissions and communications before they are submitted or sent and provide the Sellers’ Solicitors (on behalf of the Sellers) promptly with copies of all such submissions and communications in the form submitted or sent;

(c)

where reasonably requested by the Sellers and where permitted by the EC Commission or the Relevant National Competition Authorities or others persons concerned, allow the persons nominated by the Sellers to attend all meetings with the EC Commission or the Relevant National Competition Authorities or other persons concerned, and, where permitted, to make oral submissions at such meetings; and

(d)

regularly review with the Sellers’ Solicitors (on behalf of the Sellers) the progress of all Notifications and promptly provide to the Sellers’ Solicitors all information and documents reasonably requested by them in relation to the Notifications and the satisfaction of the Competition Conditions.

In connection with the provision by the Buyer Group of any information or documents pursuant to this Schedule 2, when providing such information or documents to the Seller Group as appropriate, the Buyer Group may restrict competitively sensitive and proprietary information to be seen only by outside counsel for the Seller Group as appropriate and the Relevant National Competition Authority or other relevant governmental entities.

The Sellers shall use all reasonable endeavours to provide the Buyer with all information and documents reasonably requested by the Buyer Group as appropriate for the purpose of making the Notifications or National Notifications and any subsequent submissions to the European Commission or the Relevant National Competition Authority, however, that when providing such information or documents to the Buyer Group as appropriate, the Seller may restrict competitively sensitive and proprietary information to be seen only by outside counsel for the Buyer Group as appropriate and the Relevant National Competition Authority or other relevant governmental entities.
