in  the Customer Order for such Service assumes that such Off-Net Local Loop can
be  provisioned by Level 3 through the local access provider selected by Level 3
(and/or Customer) for the stated Service Term. In the event Level 3 is unable to
provision  such Off-Net Local Loop through the selected local access provider or

forth  in  the Customer Order, Level 3 reserves the right, regardless of whether
Level 3 has accepted the Customer Order, to suspend provisioning of such Off-Net
Local  Loop  and  notify  Customer  in  writing  of any additional non-recurring
charges,  monthly  recurring  charges  and/or  Service Term that may apply. Upon
receipt  of  such notice, Customer will have five (5) business days to accept or
reject such changes. If Customer does not respond to Level 3 within the five (5)
business  day  period,  such changes will be deemed rejected by Customer, in the
event  Customer  rejects  the  changes  (whether  affirmatively  or  through the
expiration of the five (5) business day period), the affected Off-Net Local Loop
will be cancelled without cancellation or termination liability of either party.

SECTION  11.   (3)  CONNECT(SM) MODEM  SERVICE
----------------------------------------------

11.1     APPLICABILITY.   This  Section  is  applicable  only  where  Customer
         --------------
orders  (3)Connect(SM)  Modem  Service  (either  "Dedicated Service," "Dedicated
Service  with  QuickStart,"  or  Transit  Service").

11.2     TYPES  OF SERVICE.    In the event Customer orders "Dedicated Service,"
         ------------------
end  user  traffic  will be routed through and aggregated in Level 3's facility,
sent  to  the  Customer Premises via a dedicated circuit, and then routed to its
final  destination  by  Customer.  In  the  event  that  Customer orders Transit
Services," end user traffic will be routed to Level 3's facility and then routed
to  its  final  destination  by  Level 3 via the Internet Dedicated Service with
"QuickStart"  will  initially  be provisioned to Customer in the same fashion as
Transit  Services,  until  such  time  as  Level 3 has provisioned the dedicated
circuit  to  send  end  user  traffic  from  Level  3's facility to the Customer
Premises.  QuickStart  will  then be migrated to standard Dedicated Service. For
Dedicated  Service, the (3)Connect(SM) Private Line Service necessary to support
Dedicated  Service  will  be  ordered, installed and managed by Level 3. Level 3
cannot  and  does  not  guarantee  the  availability  of  any  port  ordered for
installation  greater  than  ninety (90) days from the date of submission of the
Customer  Order.

SECTION  12.  (3) CROSSROADS(SM) SERVICE
----------------------------------------

12.1     APPLICABILITY.   This  Section is applicable only where Customer orders
         --------------
(3)CrossRoads(SM) Service (which  may  include  Service designated in a Customer
Order  as  "Internet  Access  Service").

12.2     CHARGES.  Customer  may  elect  to  be  billed  based  on a fixed rate,
         --------
"Destination Sensitive Billing", or a Committed Data Rate. The manner of billing
selected  will  be  set  forth  in  each  Customer  Order.

(A)     Fixed  rate  charges  or (3)CrossRoads(SM)  Services  consist of two (2)
components:  (a) a non-recurring installation charge per port; and (b) a monthly
recurring  port  charge.

(B)     Destination  Sensitive  Billing  charges  for (3)CrossRoads(SM) Services
consist  of  three  (3)  components: (a) a non-recurring installation charge per
port;  (b)  a  monthly  recurring  port  charge;  and (c) monthly usage charges.
Customer's  usage  of  (3)CrossRoads(SM)  Service (both Send Traffic and Receive
Traffic) will be measured and recorded by Level 3 every five minutes. At the end
of  the month, the top five percent (5%) of the Send Traffic and Receive Traffic
samples will be discarded. If the ninety-fifth (95th) percentile Receive Traffic
sample  shows  (3)CrossRoads3  usage  greater  than  the  usage  shown  in  the
ninety-fifth (95th) percentile Send Traffic sample, then Customer will be billed
for  the  amount  of  (3)CrossRoads(SM)  usage  shown in the ninety-fifth (95th)
percentile  sample  for  the  Receive  Traffic.  If  the  ninety-fifth


                                  Page 8 of 12
<PAGE>
(95th)  percentile  sample  for  the  Send Traffic shows (3)CrossRoads(SM) usage
greater  than  the  usage  shown  in  the ninety-fifth (95th) percentile Receive
Traffic  sample, then the total Send Traffic will be categorized as Off-Net Send
Traffic,  On-Net  Send  Traffic  and On-Net Intracity Send Traffic, and Customer
will  be billed for the usage shown in the ninety-fifth (95th) percentile sample
for  each  category.

(C)     Committed  Data Rate  charges  for (3)CrossRoads(SM) consist of four (4)
components:  (a)  a  non-recurring  installation  charge per port; (b) a monthly
recurring  port  charge;  (c)  a monthly recurring charge based on the Committed
Data  Rate;  and  (d)  monthly usage charges to the extent usage in a particular
month  exceeds  tie  Committed  Data Rate. Customer's usage of (3)CrossRoads(SM)
Service  (both  Send Traffic and Receive Traffic) will be sampled every five (5)
minutes  for  the  previous five (5) minute period. At the end of the month, the
top  five  percent  (5%)  of  Send  Traffic and Receive Traffic samples shall be
discarded.  The highest of the resulting ninety-fifth (95th) percentile for Send
Traffic  and Receive Traffic will be compared to the Committed Data Rate. If the
ninety-fifth  (95th)  percentile  of  either  Send Traffic or Receive Traffic is
higher  than the Committed Data Rate, Customer will, in addition to being billed
for  the  Committed  Data Rate, be billed at this ninety-fifth (95th) percentile
level  for  any usage in excess of the Committed Data Rate at the contracted-for
price  per  Megabit.

         -------------------
with  a  combined  transport  and termination rate for the purpose of delivering

Telephone  Network).  (3)Voice(SM)  Termination Service allows Customer to bring
voice  traffic  to Level 3, selecting from a wide range of connectivity options,
in  a Level 3 supported format (North American SS7, and when Level 3 can support
the same, North American II.5ESS PRI). Traffic delivered by Customer in a format
not  supported  by Level 3 will be blocked and will not be delivered by Level 3.
Level  3  does  not  originate  any traffic pursuant to (3)Voice(SM) Termination
Services  and  will  not  accept  calls  seeking  operator services or directory
assistance. Other examples of types of calls that are origination in nature, and
thus  likewise not supported on the Level 3 network, include: 976, 911, 900,800,
and  700  calls

13.3     BILLING  AND  RATES.

Termination  usage  rates,  billing  increments  and  call minimums, and Level 3
reserves  the  right  to  change  the  same  with  prior  notice  to  Customer.

(B)     For  Customer  voice  traffic  in  which Level 3 is unable to reasonably
determine  the  origin  of  such  traffic,  Level  3 will bill Customer for such
traffic  at  Level  3's  interstate  rates  in  proportion  to the percentage of
interstate  use  set  forth  in  the  Customer  Order ("PIU").   Customer hereby
certifies  that  the PIU is true and correct to the best of Customer's knowledge
and  has been determined in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Customer  may  modify  the  PIU  from  time to time upon thirty (30) days' prior
written  notice  to  Level 3. Upon Level 3's written request, Customer agrees to
provide Level 3 with all reasonable information necessary to verify the accuracy
of  the  PIU  as  compared to voice traffic delivered by Customer to Level 3. If
Level  3  determines  that  the PIU is inaccurate, Level 3 reserves the right to
bill  Customer  at  the  appropriate  Level  3  rates  based  upon  Level  3's
determination  of  such  traffic as interstate or intrastate. Customer agrees to
indemnify,  defend  and  hold  Level  3 harmless for any claims by third parties
(including  local  access  charges  for  intrastate  traffic)  resulting from or
arising  out  of  Level  3's  use  of  an  inaccurate  PIU.

(C)     The  (3)Voice(SM)  Termination  usage  rates are net of any applicable
origination  charges  by  third  party  payphone  providers.  Customer  will  be
responsible  for (i) all such origination charges, and (ii) tracking any traffic
associated  with  such  origination charges in accordance with applicable law or
regulation.

(A)     (3)  Voice(SM)  Origination   Service   provides   inbound  PSTN  to  IP
termination  voice  services.    Customer  will  be  provided direct inward dial
(DID)  numbers) and a specified number of DS-0 ports   ("Ports") as set forth in
the  Customer  Order.  Customer  (or  its  end  users) may access the Service by
dialing  a Level 3 provided DID number, after which the voice traffic originated
by  Customer  (or its end users) will be aggregated  by Level 3 and will undergo
a  net  protocol  conversion  by  Level  3  to  an  IP  format

(B)     If   Customer   orders   "Basic   On-Net"   (3)Voice(SM)  Origination
Service,  Customer  must  order,  as  a  separate  Service,  the  Level  3
(3)CrossRoads(SM) Service to transport the media portion of the Customer traffic
to  a  Level  3 On-Net facility. If Customer orders "Basic Off-Net" (3)Voice(SM)
Origination  Service,  the  traffic  will initially be delivered the same way as
Basic  On-Net  Service,  but  Customer will obtain, at its own cost, an internet
connection  from a third party internet service provider that peers with Level 3
to  transport  the  traffic  from the Level 3 network to an Off-Net destination.
Level  3  shall  not  be  responsible  for  the  service of any such third party
providers. In all cases, the traffic will be delivered back to Customer in an IP
format,  after  which  the traffic shall be the sole responsibility of Customer.

(C)     Unless  otherwise  agreed, the (3)Voice(SM) Origination Services shall
only  be  ordered  and  delivered  to  Customer  in  the  United  States.

14.3     CHARGES. For use of (3)Voice(SM) Origination Service (and excluding the
         --------
charges  for  any  other  Service Customer must purchase from Level 3 to use the
same),  Customer  agrees to pay, on a monthly basis: (i) a port charge (the Tort
Charge")  for  each  Port  ordered;  and  (ii)  a DID charge for each DID number
provided  to  Customer by Level 3. A non-recurring order processing charge and a
port  installation  charge  will  also  apply  for each (3)Voice(SM) Origination
Service  ordered  by  Customer.  All such charges will be stated in the Customer
Order.

14.4     PORT  COMMITMENT.  Each  Customer  Order  for  (3)Voice(SM) Origination
         -----------------
Service  shall  state  a  number  of (3)Voice(SM) Origination Service Ports that
Customer  commits  to  buy  from Level 3 for the duration of stated Service Term
(the  "Port


                                  Page 9 of 12
<PAGE>
Commitment").  The Port Commitment will commence upon the expiration of the Ramp
Period  (if  any)  stated  in  the  Customer  Order.  In  any month following an
applicable  Ramp  Period  in  which  Customer  fails to meet its Port Commitment
Customer  will be billed for and will pay Level 3 for the Ports actually used by
Customer  during the month, plus a shortfall fee equal to the difference between
the Port Charges that would have been due had the Port Commitment been satisfied
and  Customer's  actual  Port  Charges.
