Contractor and Customer agree as set forth in this Statement of Work.

4.0		MODIFICATIONS TO EXHIBIT G

4.1		Background

Statement of Work No. 49, Revision 1, provided for the incorporation of NANC Change Order 393 (NPAC Performance Requirements) into Release 3.3 of the NPAC/SMS Software. Because the current Functional Requirements Specification (“FRS”) performance requirements do not fully account for sustained and peak performance requirements, NANC 393 was intended to provide NPAC/SMS performance requirements to account for sustained, peak, and total bandwidth numbers. These new numbers represent a clarification of the measurement of NPAC performance. These changes are reflected in the FRS with the deletion of assumptions AR6-1 and AR6-2, the addition of assumptions AR6-3, AR6-4, AR6-5, and AR6-6, the deletion of requirement R6-29.1, the updating of requirements R6-28.1, R6-28.2, and R6-29.2, and the addition of requirements RR6-107, RR6-108, and RR6-109. The updated NPAC performance requirements, as specified in the revised FRS, affect Exhibit G under the Master Agreement, which exhibit must be updated to reflect the aforementioned changes. Accordingly, Contractor and Customer agreed in Statement of Work 49, Revision 1, to make the appropriate revisions to these exhibits prior to the Anticipated Delivery Date of Release 3.3. In addition to the implementation of Release 3.3 (under SOW49, as amended) in all United States Service Areas, currently scheduled to be completed April 9, 2006, the following activities must be completed before the changes to Exhibit G set forth in this SOW can be implemented:

	1.		Customer executes this SOW51 on behalf of all Subscribing Customers.

	2.		Contractor revised the SLR Methods & Procedures document to reflect the changes to Exhibit G as set forth herein.

	3.		Customer and Contractor approve GEP Metrics Document revised to reflect the changes to Exhibit G as set forth herein.

	4.		GEP Auditor revises GEP Audit Plan to reflect the changes in the GEP Metrics Document as set forth above.

Upon the completion of all the activities set forth above and the implementation of Release 3.3 in all Service Areas, the changes to SLR5 set forth below in Section 4.2 and the changes to SLR6 set forth in Section 4.3 shall take effect on the date agreed by Contractor and Customer, and confirmed by the GEP Auditor.

4.2

SLR 5 Change

As a result of the update to NPAC performance requirement R6-28.1 and the addition of performance requirement RR6-107 , SLR5 — SOA to NPAC Interface Transaction Rates (Customer) of Exhibit G (Service Level Requirements) under the Master Agreement applicable in this Service Area is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety the “Service Commitment Level” entry for SLR 5 — SOA to NPAC Interface Transaction Rates (Customer) in this Service Area and replacing it with the following

Page 3

CONFIDENTIAL

To the extent there is sufficient load, maintain, for 95% of the CMIP transactions, a rate of 4 CMIP transactions per second (sustained) for each SOA to NPAC SMS interface association; however, this interface requirement does not apply when there are at least 40 CMIP transactions per second (sustained) for a single NPAC SMS region. Neither criterion applies if throughput is impacted by delays caused by Users.

4.3

SLR 6 Change

As a result of the deletion of requirement R6-29.1 and the update to NPAC performance requirement R6-29.2 and introduction of performance requirements RR6-108 and RR6-109, the “Service Commitment Level” entry for SLR 6 – NPAC to LSMS Interface Transaction Rates (Customer) in this Service Area is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

To the extent there is sufficient offered load, maintain, for 95% of the CMIP transactions, a rate of 4 CMIP transactions per second (sustained) over each NPAC SMS to Local SMS interface association; however, this interface requirement does not apply when there are at least 156 CMIP transactions per second (sustained) for a single NPAC SMS region. Neither criterion applies if throughput is impacted by delays caused by Users.

In the event that the CMIP Interface Specification is changed, for purposes of the foregoing computation, each CMIP transaction involved in a broadcast of an SV will contain at least one (1) TN.

5.0		RESCISSION OF EXHIBIT N

5.1		Background

R6-29.1 and R6-29.2 formed the basis for the final milestone throughput goal of 25 TN’s per second under Exhibit N (System Performance Plan for NPAC SMS Services). Contractor was required to demonstrate the achievement of each milestone, both interim and final, in laboratory testing, which was defined as a specified mix of range and individual transactions involving broadcasts to seven LSMS’s. Exhibit N suspended SLR 6 – NPAC to LSMS Interface Transaction Rates (Customer) until the 25 TN’s per second goal was achieved. The Contractor represents that it has achieved well in excess of 25 TNs per second in laboratory tests. As a result of the achievement of the 25 TN’s per second milestone, the SLR6 suspension ought to be terminated by the terms of Exhibit N, and therefore no update to Exhibit N is required as was otherwise referenced in NANC 393 of SOW49, Revision 1. Contractor and Customer hereby agree that Exhibit N is rescinded in its entirety.

5.2

Rescission of Exhibit N

As a result of the termination of the SLR6 suspension, Exhibit N (Systems Performance Plan for NPAC/SMS Services) to the Master Agreement applicable in this Service Area is hereby

9.3 If at any time hereafter a Customer, other than a Customer that is a party hereto desires to become a party hereto, such Customer may become a party hereto by executing a joinder agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Statement of Work, as modified from time to time.

9.4 This Statement of Work is the joint work product of representatives of Customer and Contractor; accordingly, in the event of ambiguities, no inferences will be drawn against either party, including the party that drafted the Agreement in its final form.

9.5 This Statement of Work sets forth the entire understanding between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supercedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement, discussions, negotiations or representations between the Parties, whether written or oral, with respect thereto. The modifications, amendments and price concessions made herein were negotiated together and collectively, and each is made in consideration of all of the other terms herein. All such modifications, amendments and price concessions are interrelated and are dependent on each other. No separate, additional or different consideration is contemplated with respect to the modifications, amendments and price concessions herein.
