                SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT: AVAILABILITY GUARANTEE


Verio guarantees to have the Verio available to the Client for 99.9% of the
time. Verio will credit Client's account if Verio fails to meet this
availability guarantee during any given calendar month. "Network Unavailability"
consists of the number of minutes that the Verio network is not available to the
Client, but does not include unavailability continuing for an hour of less which
Client fails to report to Verio within 3 business days.

Client shall not receive any credit if Network Unavailability is:

         (a) caused by Client's applications, equipment or facilities;
         (b) caused by negligence, willful misconduct, or the use of the Verio
             services in breach of Verio's Terms and Conditions and Acceptable
             Use Policy, by Client or others authorized by Client;
         (c) due to a failure of power, facilities, equipment, applications,
             systems or connections not provided by Verio;
         (d) caused by the failure of access circuits to Verio's network, unless
             such failure is solely caused by Verio;
         (e) a result of scheduled Verio maintenance;
         (f) associated with DNS issues outside the direct control of Verio;
         (g) a result of other National networks/exchanges that adversely affect
             the ability to pass IP traffic on the Internet as a whole; or
         (h) for any reason beyond the control of Verio.

In the event that Verio's Network Availability is less than 99.9% uptime in any
calendar month, Verio will provide a credit on its IP charges to Client. For
every hour, or fraction thereof, of Network unavailability as defined above, a
credit for one day's pro-rated service will be applied to the next monthly
invoice. This amount shall not exceed 7 day's credit for any outage(s) during
any single 24-hour period. Total credits for any outage(s) in any calendar month
will not exceed the amount of the client's regular monthly bill for IP services.

                               LATENCY GUARANTEE

Verio will guarantee the latency for average round-trip transmission times
between Verio designated backbone routers located in California and the East
Coast. "Average Latency" is defined as the average of samples taken between the
specified backbone routers during a calendar month. In the event that the
Average Latency exceeds 100 milliseconds during a calendar month, Verio will
provide a credit on its IP charges for one day's pro-rated service on the next
monthly invoice.
