available for marketing or sale under this Agreement, use its best efforts to
market and sell the Product in the Territory. Other than the Product, Tollgrade

prior written consent of UTStarcom. However, Tollgrade shall not be restricted
or construed in anyway from applying the Tollgrade Licensed Know-How in other
applications to systems manufactured by other system vendors in modified or
similar form, or from using such Tollgrade Licensed Know-How, unmodified by the
UTStarcom Licensed Know-How, in any other application whatsoever.
2.4 FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS OF UTSTARCOM LICENSED KNOW-HOW. To the extent
any improvements to the UTStarcom Licensed Know-How are developed after the

such future improvements to the UTStarcom Licensed Know-How.
2.5 TOLLGRADE LICENSED KNOW-HOW. Subject to the restrictions of
Section 5 hereof and the other terms of this Agreement, and commencing on the

to use the Tollgrade Licensed Know-How in the market, sale and support of the
Product in the Territory under UTStarcom's private label, subject to the
confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 6 hereof. Nothing herein
shall be interpreted to allow UTStarcom to use the Tollgrade Licensed
Know-How for any purpose other than in connection with the market, sale and
support of the Product in the Territory. In addition, UTStarcom may not
sublicense its rights under this Agreement without Tollgrade's prior written
consent.

repair or other support services provided to UTStarcom by Tollgrade, outside of
those required by warranty, shall be charged at Tollgrade's standard charges for
such services.

SECTION 3. ORDERING, PURCHASE AND PAYMENT.
3.1 FORECASTS. During the manufacturing phase of this Agreement, and
for the remainder of the Term, UTStarcom will provide Tollgrade with
quarterly forecasts which will specify expected monthly volumes of Product
that UTStarcom anticipates ordering from Tollgrade for the next quarter. In
preparing and submitting such forecasts, UTStarcom acknowledges that
Tollgrade will be relying on such forecasts in planning capital, labor and
any other expenditures necessary to meet the anticipated volumes. As a
result, Tollgrade must ship to UTStarcom only that number of Product on a
monthly basis which is within [*] of the monthly forecasted volumes. (For
example, if the monthly forecast is [*], but UTStarcom submits purchase
orders for [*], Tollgrade will only be obligated to ship up to [*] for that
month.) In the event that UTStarcom submits orders for a number of Product
which exceeds [*] of the monthly forecast, Tollgrade and UTStarcom will work
together to negotiate a mutually acceptable delivery schedule.
3.2 ORDERING. UTStarcom will, from time to time, cause its United
States based operations to submit purchase orders to Tollgrade, which purchase
order will specify the number of units of Product to be shipped and the delivery
address, which shall be within the United States. The Parties agree that the
Tollgrade terms and conditions of sale, including any special payment or credit
terms that may be imposed on a going-forward basis by Tollgrade, shall apply to
any sale hereunder, notwithstanding the terms of the UTStarcom purchase order.
To the extent that UTStarcom can establish a credit and payment history with
Tollgrade that is reasonably satisfactory to Tollgrade, Tollgrade may permit
payment terms of net 30 with possible lot size limitations. If the Tollgrade
payment or credit terms conflict with the terms of this Agreement, then the
terms of this Agreement shall control. Subject to the limitations of Section 3.1
above, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the purchase order, Tollgrade
will ship the Product to the location specified. All shipments will be F.O.B.
shipping point designated as Tollgrade's, business address in Cheswick,
Pennsylvania.
3.3 NON-RECURRING ENGINEERING CHARGES. UTStarcom shall pay to Tollgrade
certain Non-recurring Engineering Charges ("NRE") for its development efforts,
as specified below:
3.3.1 CONTRACT SIGNING. Upon execution of this Agreement by
the Parties, but no later than May 14, 1997, prior to release of
prototypes UTStarcom will pay to Tollgrade an NRE in the amount of [*].
3.3.2 PROTOTYPE ACCEPTANCE. Provided that Tollgrade has
delivered acceptable prototype units to UTStarcom by the date specified
on Exhibit A, UTStarcom will pay to Tollgrade a second NRE in the
amount of [*] on or before [*].

Release date (projected to be near [*]), UTStarcom will pay to
Tollgrade a third NRE in the amount of [*].

3.4 MINIMUM PURCHASE COMMITMENT. UTStarcom agrees that, following
completion of successful field testing, UTStarcom shall purchase from
Tollgrade at least [*] of the Product, with [*] to be ordered and delivered
on or before [*] and an additional [*] to be ordered and delivered on or
before [*]. The purchase price for these [*] of Product shall be [*] (herein
referred to as the "Initial Purchase Price"), and UTStarcom agrees that it
shall pay cash in advance or upon delivery for the purchase of these [*]. In
the event that UTStarcom fails to purchase this minimum quantity hereunder,
UTStarcom agrees that it shall pay to Tollgrade, within [*] of [*], a sum
equal to the Initial Purchase Price for these units; [*].
3.5 PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT. During the Term of the Agreement,
UTStarcom shall pay to Tollgrade, for each unit of Product purchased hereunder,
a price as follows:
3.5.1 PURCHASE PRICE. In the event that UTStarcom meets the
minimum volume commitment for purchase of Product, as specified in
Section 3.4, UTStarcom shall be entitled to purchase, until [*], an
additional [*] of Product at the Initial Purchase Price. After [*],
UTStarcom shall pay Tollgrade an amount equal to [*] per Product for
each unit of Product purchased from Tollgrade (herein referred to as
the "Purchase Price").
3.6 RESTOCKING CHARGE. For any unit of Product returned to Tollgrade
by UTStarcom (other than units returned as a result of warranty claims),
Tollgrade will, to the extent UTStarcom has already paid the Purchase Price
for such Product, refund to UTStarcom [*] of the Purchase Price for such
unit. To the extent UTStarcom has not yet paid the Purchase Price for such
returned Product at the time of return, Tollgrade will credit to UTStarcom
the [*] fee. The [*] remainder of the Purchase Price is a restocking charge
which will not be refunded or credited to UTStarcom, but will be retained by
Tollgrade.
3.7 INTEREST. If any fee, charge or payment payable under this
Agreement is not paid on the due date thereof, it shall bear interest from the
due date until the date paid at a rate equal to [*].
SECTION 4. TERM AND TERMINATION.
4.1 EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM. The Effective Date of this Agreement shall
be as of the date last signed below. The initial term of this Agreement shall
commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue for an initial two (2) year
period, and shall automatically be renewed thereafter on a year-to-year basis,
unless the Agreement is terminated as provided below in Section 4.2. Following
the initial term of the Agreement, Tollgrade shall be entitled to modify its
prices upon each annual renewal, with sixty (60) days prior written notice to

4.3 UTSTARCOM'S OBLIGATIONS IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION. In the event
UTStarcom terminates this Agreement during any period that UTStarcom is subject
to the minimum volume requirement specified in Section 3.4 above, UTStarcom
shall remain obligated to purchase such minimum requirements in accordance with
the terms of Section 3.4, or in the absence of such purchase, pay the sums
specified therein, and shall remain obligated under any outstanding orders. In
the event UTStarcom terminates this Agreement or abandons the development effort
prior to successful field testing of the Product, UTStarcom shall pay to
Tollgrade a termination fee equal to [*] less any amounts paid to
Tollgrade by UTStarcom for NRE as defined in Section 3.3 of the Agreement,
payable within sixty (60) days of such termination or abandonment. Therefore,
upon payment in full by UTStarcom of all NRE amounts due under the Agreement,
UTStarcom will not be required to pay this termination fee if it terminates the
Agreement. The Parties agree that this sum is a reasonable estimate of the
damages that would be suffered by Tollgrade in the event of such termination or
abandonment, and is not intended as a penalty.
