This TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES AGREEMENT is effective this
28th day of May, 2004 ("Effective Date"), by and between
WilTel WILTEL COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, located at One Technology Center,
Communications 100 South Cincinnati, 13th Floor, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74103, a
Delaware limited liability company ("WilTel"), and COLORADO
SATELLITE BROADCASTING, Inc., located at 7007 Winchester
Circle, Boulder, CO 80301, a Colorado corporation
("Customer").
1. SERVICES. Subject to the Customer placing orders and WilTel accepting such
orders as contemplated herein, Customer agrees to purchase, and WilTel agrees to
provide, the services described in the attached service schedule(s) ("Service
Schedule(s)") as indicated in APPENDIX A (check as applicable) (the "WilTel
Services"), and Third Party Service described in Section 17 (WilTel Services and
Third Party Service, collectively or individually, the "Services"). WilTel
Services may consist of any combination of WilTel's voice products and/or data
products (each referred to as "Network Services"), video products (referred to
as "Vyvx Services"), and/or professional services. All Services shall be
provided according to the terms and conditions in this TSA (defined below) and
as specified in an accepted order for Services placed by Customer
contemporaneously herewith, subsequent hereto or in contemplation hereof
("Service Order(s)"). This Telecommunications Services Agreement ("TSA" or
"Agreement") is comprised of the general terms and conditions contained in
Sections 1 through 22 herein (the "General Terms") together with any appendices,
Service Schedules and Service Orders attached or incorporated by reference, and
the foregoing shall be deemed one, integrated agreement and not as separate,
severable contracts. The Service Schedules may be attached hereto, separately
executed, or added by amendment. All Services are subject to availability and
approval of Customer's credit by WilTel at the time of each Service Order.
2. TSA TERM. The TSA (referring not to individual Services, which will each have
their own term as described in Section 3 below) shall continue in effect for
three (3) years from the Effective Date ("TSA Term"), and shall then
automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods ("TSA Renewal Term(s)"),
unless either party gives written notice to the other party of non-renewal, such
notice to be delivered at least sixty (60) calendar days before the end of the
TSA Term or the TSA Renewal Term. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, unless
Customer is in Default, any Service being provided at the time of termination of
this TSA shall continue upon the terms and conditions of this TSA until the end
of the Service Term or any applicable Extension Period for Service as specified
in the applicable Service Order or until such Service Order is terminated;
provided, however, that Customer may not order any new Service until Customer
and WilTel have entered into a new agreement or mutually agreed in writing to
extend this TSA.
3. SERVICE TERM. Except as may be provided otherwise in a particular Service
Schedule, the term for each Service as described in a Service Order shall be as
indicated on the Service Order ("Service Term"). At the end of the Service Term
for any Service, such Service shall continue on a month-to-month basis
("Extension Period") unless either party gives written notice to the other that
the Service(s) shall be disconnected, such notice to be delivered at least sixty
(60) calendar days before the end of the Service Term, or if during the
Extension Period, then upon at least thirty (30) calendar days' prior written
notice. Customer's charges for WilTel Service, as set forth in the Service
Order, shall continue to apply to Customer's Service throughout any Extension
Period, unless modified pursuant to the terms of this TSA. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Customer disconnects Service and Customer has ordered its own
local access service, Customer must provide WilTel written notification of
Customer's disconnect with the local access service provider in the form of a
disconnection firm order commitment ("DFOC") from the local access service
provider.
4. PAYMENT TERMS AND CHARGES. Customer agrees to pay recurring and non-recurring
charges for WilTel Services, as set forth in applicable Service Order and/or
quote ("Quote") referenced in such Service Order and all charges for Third Party
Services, if applicable. WilTel provides and charges for Services in U.S.
Dollars, commencing on the date WilTel notifies Customer that the relevant
Service is available for use by Customer. Subject to Section 5 below, all
amounts stated on each invoice are due and payable within thirty (30) calendar
days of the date of the invoice, except with respect to Services related to
voice products, which shall be due and payable immediately upon receipt of the
invoice ("Due Date"). Customer agrees to accept delivery of invoices
electronically via the Internet and agrees to remit payment via Automated
Clearinghouse ("ACH") or wire transfer to WilTel Communications, LLC in care of:
Bank of Oklahoma, Tulsa, OK, ABA # 103900036, Account # 010649443 (WilTel
Communications, LLC), or such other bank or account as WilTel may in writing
direct Customer to remit payment. In the event Customer fails to make full
payment of undisputed amounts by the Due Date, Customer shall also pay a late
fee in the amount of the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) per month or (ii) the
maximum lawful monthly rate under applicable state law, of the unpaid balance
which amount shall accrue from the Due Date ("Late Fee"). WilTel may make
billing adjustments for WilTel Services for a period of one hundred eighty (180)
calendar days after the date a Service is rendered, and for Third Party Services
at any time within two (2) months of WilTel's receipt of any invoice from the
Third Party Provider (defined in Section 17 below), or any other time frame
allowed by contract, law, or government rule or regulation, whichever is later.
WilTel will invoice Customer for any billing adjustments and Customer agrees to
pay such amounts in accordance with this Section.
5. BILLING DISPUTES. (A) Upon disputing any charges, Customer shall: (i) pay all
undisputed charges by the Due Date; (ii) present by the Due Date a written
statement of amounts disputed in good faith in reasonable detail with supporting
documentation; and, (iii) negotiate in good faith to resolve any bona fide
dispute within sixty (60) calendar days from the Due Date. (B) Disputed charges
resolved in favor of WilTel, with a Late Fee are due and payable within ten (10)
calendar days of WilTel's written notice denying the dispute, which shall be the
Due Date for such payment. Disputed charges resolved in favor of Customer will
be credited to Customer on the following month's billing cycle and no Late Fee
shall apply.
6. RIGHT TO ASSURANCE. If a Customer suffers a material adverse change in its
financial condition, WilTel may: (i) request adequate assurance of Customer's
performance per applicable law, and/or (ii) decline to accept or process a
Service Order.
7. CREDIT DEFAULT. A "Credit Default" shall occur (i) if Customer
fails to make full and timely payment for all amounts due (subject to Section 5
herein governing billing disputes) and/or (ii) if Customer fails to comply with
a request for assurance (subject to Section 6 herein governing compliance with
credit limits) as required under this TSA and such failure remains uncorrected
for five (5) calendar days from such date or the Due Date if applicable. In the
event of a Credit Default, WilTel may, in addition to its rights available to it
at law or in equity: (i) suspend any or all Services to Customer upon written
notice; (ii) cease accepting or processing Service Orders; and/or (iii)
terminate this TSA upon written notice. If this TSA is terminated because of a
Credit Default, all Early Termination Charges (defined in Section 19 below)
shall apply.

8. OTHER DEFAULTS, AUP VIOLATION AND REMEDIES. An "Other Default" shall occur if
either party fails to perform or observe any material term or obligation,
excluding payment or right of assurance terms, contained in this TSA, and any
such failure remains uncorrected for the lesser of thirty (30) calendar days
after written notice from the non-defaulting party or such different cure
period, if any, as may be set forth below. In the event of an Other Default by
Customer, WilTel may, in addition to its rights available to it at law or in
equity: (i) suspend any or all Services to Customer; (ii) cease accepting or
processing Service Orders; and/or (iii) terminate this TSA. If this TSA is
terminated because of an Other Default by Customer, all Early Termination
Charges shall apply. In the event of an Other Default by WilTel, Customer's
remedies are limited to its proven direct damages and the right to terminate any
or all affected Service Orders, unless this TSA provides for exclusive remedies
in the applicable Service Schedule, in which case Customer's remedies are
exclusively as described therein. If Customer uses the Services for any unlawful
purpose or in any unlawful manner, or causes WilTel to violate any applicable
law, such action shall be an Other Default and WilTel shall have the right
immediately to suspend and/or terminate any or all Services hereunder without
notice to Customer. Customer affirms that it has reviewed and assented to the
Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") posted on WilTel's AUP website at
www.wiltel.com/customers/r_use_s.html, which is incorporated herein by
reference. A violation of the AUP shall be an Other Default. If the violation of
the AUP affects WilTel's network, or other parties on WilTel's network, WilTel
shall have the right immediately to suspend and/or terminate any or all Services
hereunder and/or the TSA without notice to Customer. For any violations of
WilTel's AUP that are not affecting either WilTel's network or third parties on
WilTel's network, Customer shall, upon three (3) business days notice, have the
opportunity to cure such violation prior to suspension or termination. For the
purposes of this TSA, a Credit Default and/or an Other Default may each be
referred to individually as a "Default."
9. TAXES AND USF CHARGES. (A) If any local, state, national, international,
public or quasi-public governmental entity or foreign government or its
political subdivision imposes any taxes (excluding taxes based on WilTel's net
income or capital or any property taxes), fees, surcharges, or other charges or
impositions on WilTel as a result of WilTel's sale of Services to Customer or
Customer's use of Services, Customer shall pay any such impositions ("Additional
Charges") and indemnify WilTel, subject to the process set forth in Section
10(c) below, from any liability or expense associated with the Additional
Charges that is not caused by WilTel's negligence. (B) In addition, if
Additional Charges are assessable to support the federal Universal Service Fund
("USF") or any similar local, state, national, international, or foreign fund,
WilTel may elect to calculate and charge Customer in accordance with applicable
regulations of the government authority having jurisdiction ("USF Charges"),
unless Customer is paying such Additional Charges directly or is otherwise
exempt (as indicated by Customer in Appendix B). To the extent USF Charges apply
to Services, Customer shall also pay WilTel an administrative fee equal to one
percent (1%) of the total WilTel charges for such Services, provided WilTel has
provided Customer notice of such administrative fee.
10. INDEMNITY. (A) Customer and WilTel will release, defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the other from and against any claim by a third party including without
limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses, such as reasonable litigation
costs and attorneys' fees. ("Claim"), relating to damage to tangible property or
bodily injury, or wrongful death, to the extent such Claim arises out of the
negligence or willful misconduct of the respective indemnifying party, its
employees, agents, or contractors in connection with this TSA or the provision
of Services hereunder. (B) Customer will release, defend, indemnify and hold
harmless WilTel and its officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents
from and against any Claim to the extent such Claim (i) is brought by a
downstream customer of Customer or an end user and arises out of an alleged
defect in or failure of Service, or (ii) arises out of failure by Customer or
downstream customers of Customer or end users to obtain approval, consent, or
authorization relating to the content transmitted over WilTel's network,
including without limitation claims relating to any violation of copyright law,
export control laws, or that such transmissions are libelous, slanderous, an
invasion of privacy or illegal. (C) Should either party wish to assert a claim
for indemnification, such party ("Indemnitee") shall do so by promptly notifying
the other party ("Indemnitor") in writing of such claims. The Indemnitor shall
assume sole control of the defense of any such claim or action for which
indemnification is sought. The Indemnitor shall (i) keep the Indemnitee fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense, and (ii) obtain the prior
written approval of the Indemnitee before entering into any settlement of such
Claim imposing any obligations or restrictions on the Indemnitee or ceasing to
defend against such claim. Indemnitee shall be entitled to employ counsel at its
own expense to observe the handling of the Claim. The Indemnitee shall cooperate
reasonably with the Indemnitor and shall provide Indemnitor with the information
and authority that is reasonably necessary for Indemnitor to fulfill its
indemnification obligation, at the expense of the Indemnitor, in connection with
such defense and any compromise or settlement of any such action, suit,
proceeding or investigation. The settlement of any such claim or action without
the prior written consent of the Indemnitor will release the Indemnitor from any
obligation with respect to the settled claim or action. If the Indemnitor fails
to defend the Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend the claim in
such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the
Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for all such
costs and expenses.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT A PARTY IS REQUIRED TO
INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR SIMILAR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
SUCH PARTY'S PERFORMANCE OF OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER,
EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE OR LOSS.
THE INDEMNITOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FULL COST OF INDEMNIFICATION,
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE COST IS CHARACTERIZED AS DIRECT, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE IN NATURE.
12. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. WILTEL'S WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY
SERVICE, IF ANY, IS SET FORTH ON THE APPLICABLE SERVICE SCHEDULE. WILTEL
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. WILTEL MAKES NO WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD
PARTY SERVICES.
13. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Customer's use of the Services and WilTel's provision
of the Services shall be in accordance, and comply, with all applicable laws,
regulations, and rules. Customer shall obtain all approvals, consents and
authorizations necessary to conduct its business and initiate or conduct any
transmissions over any facilities covered by this TSA. WilTel shall obtain all
approvals, consents and authorizations necessary to conduct its business and to
provide the Services covered by this TSA. Customer and WilTel will release,
defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any Claim arising
out of, resulting from or based upon the indemnifying party's violation of any

14. FORCE MAJEURE. Either party may adjust or suspend its performance (other
than the obligation to make payment) to the extent performance is beyond its
reasonable control for reasons including, without limitation, acts of God, fire,
explosion, atmospheric conditions such as rain fade, cable cut caused by a third
party, governmental action, national emergencies, war, riot, insurrection,
terrorism, vandalism, or labor difficulties such as work stoppages, strikes, or
lockouts. If the force majeure event continues for a period of thirty (30)
calendar days, then either party may, without incurring liability, except for
Customer's liability for any charges of a Third Party Provider, terminate the
affected Services or circuits.
15. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. Except as required by law or stock exchange rule,
the terms and conditions of this TSA and all proprietary information exchanged
by the parties and all documents referenced herein (including invoices) are
confidential and shall not be disclosed without prior written consent of the
other party.
16. INTERSTATE SERVICE REPRESENTATION. WilTel and its Affiliates (defined in
Section 21 below) shall not be obligated to make available intrastate Service,
e.g., any Service on a circuit which originates/terminates at points both of
which are situated within a single state, unless WilTel or its Affiliates
specifically offer an intrastate Service, or an information Service as defined
in 47 U.S.C. Section 153(20) or unless Customer represents in writing that such
Service (other than switched voice services) or circuit shall be used to carry
more than ten percent (10%) interstate or foreign telecommunications traffic.
Customer hereby represents that more than ten percent (10%) of the transmissions
on each circuit shall be interstate transmissions or foreign transmissions as
those terms are defined in 47 U.S.C. Sections 153(17) and 153(22). If it is
determined at any time that such Service or circuit is subject to regulation by
a U.S. State regulatory agency, the Service or circuit may be provided by WilTel
or its Affiliates pursuant to applicable state laws, regulations and applicable
tariffs, or WilTel and its Affiliates may discontinue provision of the affected
Service or circuit.
17. THIRD PARTY SERVICES. In conjunction with WilTel Service, WilTel may, upon
Customer's request, arrange for Service to be provided by a third party ("Third
Party Service"), such as local access service, interexchange service, or
international service. WilTel shall not be obligated to provision any Third
Party Service except in connection with a Service Order for WilTel Service. In
the event Customer requests that WilTel order Third Party Service, WilTel shall
provision and coordinate the installation of such Service and conduct the
initial testing of an interconnection between the WilTel Service and Third Party
Service. WilTel will not begin billing Customer for such Third Party Service
until related WilTel Service is available. Customer may be required to execute a
letter of authorization ("LOA"), in a form provided by WilTel, authorizing
WilTel to deliver such Third Party Service to Customer's location. When Customer
requests international service, WilTel may arrange for the foreign end of the
Service or for a portion of the foreign end of the Service to be provided by a
third party carrier licensed in the relevant foreign point. In some cases,
WilTel may be unable, and Customer may be required, to arrange the foreign end
of such Service with a foreign carrier. Although this TSA governs the terms of
WilTel's arrangement of Third Party Service, service level parameters and
related warranties (if any), surcharges, outage credits, required commitments,
termination liability, limitations, and other service-specific terms of the
Third Party Service shall be those of the provider of the Third Party Service
("Third Party Provider"). All charges incurred by WilTel for such Third Party
Service, including without limitation monthly recurring charges, installation
charges, non-recurring charges, and applicable termination/cancellation charges
of the Third Party Provider, shall be invoiced to Customer and Customer shall be
responsible for payment thereof.
18. CUSTOMER ORDERED LOCAL ACCESS SERVICE. Customer may order its own local
access services from a local access provider who has established entrance
facilities in a WilTel point of presence upon receipt of a LOA or letter of
authorization/carrier facility assignment ("LOA/CFA"). Customer may order its
own local access service with a vendor who does not have established entrance
facilities within WilTel's point of presence only with WilTel's written
permission. Customer's local access provider shall directly bill Customer for
such local access service. Customer shall ensure that Customer-ordered local
access service is available at the same time as the WilTel Service and shall be
obligated to pay for WilTel Service regardless of whether Customer-ordered local
access service is available.
19. EARLY TERMINATION. Except as provided in an applicable Service Order and for
Services ordered on a month to month basis, which may be terminated on thirty
(30) days prior written notice without the payment by Customer of any additional
fees for termination, Customer may disconnect any WilTel Service, after
installation by providing written notification to WilTel sixty (60) calendar
days in advance of the effective date of the disconnection and paying to WilTel
an "Early Termination Charge" in an amount equal to: (i) the recurring charges
associated with the Service Term less any recurring charges already paid (ii)
any non-recurring charges not yet paid by Customer, (iii) installation charges
discounted or waived at the time Service was installed, (iv) any termination
liability associated with Third Party Services, and (v) the balance of any
minimum commitments by Customer required under this TSA, if applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vyvx Services that are generally commercially
available from WilTel and that utilize existing WilTel assets and are identified
as a terminable service on the applicable Service Order ("Terminable Service")
may be disconnected if a replacement service is ordered subject to the following
conditions. After any Terminable Service has been in effect for a period of at
least twelve (12) months, Customer shall have the option to disconnect the
Terminable Service and order a new commercially available Service subject to
availability as a replacement ("Replacement Service") without incurring a
termination liability charge. The Replacement Service must be a Terminable
Service and must be for the same or greater term and the same or greater monthly
revenue as the Terminable Service being replaced. The Replacement Service may be
ordered prior to disconnecting the Terminable Service but in any event must be
ordered by Customer prior to sixty (60) days after the date on which Customer
provides WilTel with written notice of cancellation. If Customer exercises this
replacement option, Customer will be liable for (i) all termination liability
charges for any other third party provided facilities that are impacted by the
replacement of the Terminable Service; and (ii) all disconnect and installation
one-time charges due to WilTel under WilTel's standard disconnect and new
installation rates and charges. Exercise of the replacement Service option is
restricted to Service on WilTel's own network, and is subject to availability.
Customer's exercise of the replacement rights set forth in this Section 19 shall
be limited to three (3) instances in any six (6) month period during the Term of
this Agreement. If Customer terminates any WilTel Service during an Extension
Period as provided in Section 3 above, Customer shall only be responsible for
any non-recurring charges not yet paid by Customer together with termination
liability associated with Third Party Services. It is the express intent and
understanding of the parties that, this TSA and all Service Orders hereunder
being one integrated agreement and not separate, severable contracts, Customer's
right to early termination of any Service is not a right to "reject", on an
individual basis, any Service or any Service Order pursuant to federal
bankruptcy laws. In the event Customer orders its own local access service,
Customer's written disconnection notice must also include a DFOC from the local
access service provider as described in Section 3.

20. PUBLICITY. The parties contemplate and agree that publication of information
surrounding this TSA may occur through press releases, articles, interviews,
marketing materials, online materials, and/or speeches ("Publicity"). Both
parties must approve the content of any such Publicity prior to its publication,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Routine references to the
fact that Customer is a customer of WilTel including advising others of
Customer's presence in a WilTel POP and the general nature of Services that
Customer purchases under this TSA are not considered Publicity for purposes of
this section, and Customer and WilTel each authorize the other, during the TSA
Term, to make such references unless otherwise specified in a Service Schedule.
21. MISCELLANEOUS. (A) Neither party shall assign or otherwise transfer its
rights or obligations under this TSA without the prior written consent of the
other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, either
party may freely assign this TSA, upon notice to the other party, to (i) an
"Affiliate" (defined as an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under
common control), or (ii) in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of
its assets, to the purchaser of those assets, or (iii) in the event of a merger,
acquisition or recapitalization of the assigning party, to the surviving entity
(the sale of assets, merger, acquisition or recapitalization to be referred to
as a "Change of Control"). For the purposes of this Section, "control" means to
have more than a fifty percent (50%) ownership interest. In the event of an
assignment by Customer to an Affiliate, the acquiring or surviving entity or
assignee (as applicable) must be at least as creditworthy as Customer and no
such assignment will release Customer from Customer's obligations herein,
including, but not limited to payment, except to the extent that the acquiring
or surviving entity or assignee meets its obligations under this TSA. (B) This
TSA shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to
choice of law principles. (C) No rule of construction requiring interpretation
against the draftsman hereof shall apply in the interpretation of this TSA. (D)
The provisions of this TSA are only for the benefit of the parties hereto, and
no third party may seek to enforce or benefit from these provisions. (E) If any
term or provision of this TSA shall, to any extent, be determined to be invalid
or unenforceable by a court or body of competent jurisdiction, then (i) both
parties shall be relieved of all obligations arising under such provision and
this TSA shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent
necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent, and (ii)
the remainder of this TSA shall be valid and enforceable. (F) The failure of
either party to enforce any provision hereof shall not constitute the permanent
waiver of such provision. (G) No termination of this TSA shall affect the rights
or obligations of either party: (i) with respect to any payment for Services
rendered before termination; or (ii) pursuant to other provisions of this TSA
that, by their sense and context, are intended to survive termination of this
TSA, including without limitation, indemnification, confidentiality and
limitation of liability. (H) This TSA, including the General Terms and
appurtenant appendices, Service Schedules and Service Orders (including Quotes
referenced therein), any applicable tariff and WilTel's AUP Website, comprise
all of the terms and conditions of the agreement between the parties relating to
the Services and constitute the complete and exclusive statement of the
understanding between the parties and supersedes all proposals and prior
agreements (oral or written) between the parties relating to Services provided
hereunder. (I) Customer acknowledges that the provisioning of interstate
telecommunications services by WilTel to Customer is contingent upon Customer's
submission to WilTel of the representation in the form set forth in APPENDIX B
to this TSA; either that Customer has properly registered with the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC"), pursuant to 47 CFR 64.1195 (and WilTel's
confirmation of the same), or that Customer is not a telecommunications carrier
subject to the FCC's registration requirements. (J) Without in any way
diminishing the nature of these General Terms, appurtenant appendices, Service
Schedules and Service Orders as one, integrated, non-severable agreement, in the
event of any inconsistency between or among a Service Order or Quote referenced
therein, a Service Schedule, the General Terms, WilTel's AUP website, and/or any
applicable tariff, the following order of precedence shall prevail (from highest
priority to lowest): the applicable tariff, if any, specific pricing contained
in a Service Order or Quote referenced therein, the provisions contained in the
applicable Service Schedule, the General Terms, WilTel's AUP website, the
applicable Service Order (except pricing). (K) In the event of a Default, the
prevailing party shall have the right to recover its reasonable expenses
(including attorney and collection agency fees) incurred in the enforcement of
its rights under the TSA. (L) This TSA may be executed in one or more
counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same TSA. (M) Facsimile signatures to this
TSA shall be deemed to be binding upon the parties.
22. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES. The individuals named below who are executing
this TSA on behalf of the parties are duly authorized to make the
