3.0 Effective Date and Term
This Agreement shall become effective on April 7, 2000 ("Effective Date") and
shall continue for a term of one (1) year after the date on which Seller signs
the Agreement (the "Term"). Each Service Order placed under this Agreement shall
have its own term, as indicated on such Service Order. This Agreement shall
automatically renew for successive one-year periods (the "Renewal Term(s)")
unless canceled by either party by giving written notice of such cancellation
not less than sixty (60) days before the end of the current Term, or any Renewal
Term. Unless Customer is in default, or if covered under Sections 8.2 and 8.4 of
this Agreement, any Service being provided at the time of termination shall
continue until the natural end of such Service as specified in the applicable
Service Order upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that Customer may not order any new Service until Customer and Seller
have entered into a new agreement or mutually agreed in writing to extend this
Agreement. The charges for any Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary
Services during any such extension shall be the then current Seller charges.
4.0 Service Orders and Provisioning of Circuits
4.1 Services requested by Customer hereunder shall be requested on
Seller's Service Order forms in effect from time to time or on Customer's
forms accepted in writing by Seller ("Service Order(s)"). A Sample Service
Order form is attached hereto and incorporated as Exhibit III. Each
Service Order shall reference this Agreement and its respective Agreement
number. Seller reserves the right not to accept a Service Order under this
Agreement at any time.
4.2 When a Service Order is placed, the Customer will indicate a requested
start date (the "Requested Start Date") for the Service, the desired term
of the Service, the specific city pairs, the applicable bandwidth and any
other information necessary for Seller to provide the Service. .
Customer's Requested Start Date will be the Requested Start Date passed on
to the Local Exchange Carrier and the basis for any adjustments set forth
below. Seller will make reasonable efforts to meet Customer's Requested
Start Date. In the event that a Requested Start Date is altered,
Customer's Requested Start Date will be changed to reflect the number of
days of delay or advance, as appropriate (the "Actual Start Date").
Changes to Customer's Requested Start Date are further limited pursuant to
Sections 4.5 and 4.6.
4.3 This Agreement shall apply to all Services, Local Access Services and
Ancillary Services provided by Seller to the Customer whether pursuant to
a Service Order or otherwise.
4.4 Seller's standard service implementation interval for Services
provided on Seller's owned and operated network is forty-five (45) days
from acceptance of a Service Order by Seller's Customer Care department.
Such acceptance shall be indicated by the signature of a representative of
such department on the Service Order. The standard service implementation
interval for Services provided by a third party and either partially or
wholly off of Seller's owned
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
and operated network shall be determined on an individual case basis.
Seller shall make reasonable efforts to provide Services within its
standard service implementation interval or on Customer's Requested Start
Date. Failure of Seller to deliver by such date shall not constitute a
default under this Agreement and Seller shall not be liable to pay to
Customer any penalties or damages for Seller's failure to meet such
standard service implementation intervals. Seller will make reasonable
efforts to coordinate Actual Start Date with Customer Requested Start Date
and will act on behalf of Customer with the Local Access Providers during
installation and testing to ensure circuit is fully operational, meets
technical specifications and to delay acceptance of circuits as may be
requested by Customer on an individual case basis subject to the policies
of the applicable Local Exchange Carrier.
4.5 Seller will issue notice to Customer of the Actual Start Date which is
the Planned Test Date ("PTD") for each individual Service Order. The
Actual Start Date is the date Seller will accept services from the Local
Exchange Carrier ("LEC") on behalf of the Customer and commence testing
and billing for Local Access Services. Customer may request a one-time
delay or change in the Actual Start Date or Requested Start Date of a
Service Order provided that (i) it provides the Seller a written delay
request no later than three (3) business days prior to the Planned Test
Date or Requested Start Date, as the case may be, (ii) the aggregate
number of the days requested does not exceed thirty (30) calendar days
from the Service Order's original Requested Start Date, and (iii) it is
consistent with the policies of and approved by the LEC. At the expiration
of such thirty (30) day period, the Customer may no longer delay the
Actual Start Date of such Order and Seller may begin billing as of such
date.
4.6 Services shall begin on the date Seller issues notice that Service is
available (the "Start of Service Notice" or "SOSN"), indicating that the
Service has been tested by Seller in accordance with the Technical
Specifications set forth in Exhibit II attached hereto and that the
Service meets or exceeds those Technical Specifications (the "Actual Start
Date"). If Customer fails to give written notice that the Service is in
material non-compliance with the applicable Technical Specifications
within three (3) business days after Seller issues the SOSN, Customer
shall be deemed to have accepted such Service and Seller shall begin
billing for the Service as of the Actual Start Date. All billing and
acceptance of local loops ordered on behalf of Customer will start on the
Actual Start Date. Customer will reimburse Seller for all Local Access
Charges and shall be liable for any termination charges from Local Access
Providers once accepted by Seller on Customer's behalf. Billing for
Circuit Port and PVC charges will be delayed for ten (10) calendar days
from the Actual Start Date provided Customer is not utilizing the circuit
for other than testing purposes.
4.7 Any conflicting, different or additional terms and conditions
contained in Customer's acknowledgement or Service Order or elsewhere are
objected to by Seller and shall not constitute part of this Agreement
unless mutually agreed to in writing by both parties. No action by Seller
(including, without limitation, provision of Services, Local Access
Services or Ancillary Services to Customer pursuant to such Service Order)
shall be construed as binding or estopping Seller with respect to such
term or condition.
4.8 Once the Actual Start Date has passed, Customer must pay for the
Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary Services as indicated on the
Service Order through the term indicated on such Service Order, regardless
of whether Customer is actually using the Services.

5.0 Local Access Services
5.1 Unless the parties otherwise agree pursuant to Section 5.3 below,
Seller shall obtain "Local Access Services" for Customer, which are
defined as the telecommunications facilities connecting a
Customer-designated termination point to a Seller Point of Presence
("POP"). Customer shall execute a Letter of Agency, on such form as
provided by Seller, authorizing Seller to interact directly with the Local
Access provider(s) to obtain the Local Access Services. Customer shall
request all Local Access Services in writing to Seller. Customer shall be
responsible for all charges, including without limitation, monthly
charges, usage charges, installation charges, non-recurring charges, or
applicable termination/cancellation liabilities, of the Local Access
provider(s) for the length of the term of the Service Order only. Seller
shall use reasonable efforts to negotiate the reduction or elimination of
any termination liability or cancellation charges with the applicable
Local Access provider.
5.2 In obtaining Local Access Services, Seller shall be responsible for
provisioning and the initial testing of an interconnection between the
interexchange Service set forth in a Service Order and the Local Access
Services. Seller will coordinate the installation of the Local Access
Services with the interexchange Service being provided by Seller. Charges
to Customer for Local Access Service administered by Seller on behalf of
Customer shall be billed to Customer at the pass through tariff rate of
the Local Access service provider for the term on each Customer Service
Order plus a monthly management fee per the schedule below. Billing for
Local Access will begin on the date Seller accepts the service from the
Local Access Provider. If the tariff rate for Local Access Services is
changed by the Local Access service provider, such changes will be passed
through to Customer.
Local Access Services Management Fee Schedule
Port Size Monthly Fee
T1 $ 25.00
DS3 $250.00
OC3 $250.00
5.3 Customer may, upon notice to Seller on the applicable Service Order,
order its own Local Access Services. In such event, Customer shall be
billed directly by the provider of such services and Seller shall not be
responsible for billing any such charges. If Customer orders its own Local
Access Services, Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that such
services are turned up at the same time as the Services being provided by
Seller. In the event the Customer-ordered Local Access Services are not
ready at such time as the Services being provided by Seller, Seller shall
nevertheless have the right to begin billing for such Services as of the
Actual Start Date and Customer shall be liable for payment for such
Services as of such date. Seller will not be responsible for outages of
local access circuits and troubleshooting local access circuits ordered by
Customer but will coordinate and test end-to-end with local access
providers as needed by Customer.

6.0 Ancillary Services and Charges
6.1 Seller may provide extraordinary service to Customer for reasons
including but not limited to: (a) Customer's request to expedite Service
availability to a date earlier than Seller's published installation
interval or a previously accepted start date; (b) Service redesign or
other activity occasioned by receipt of inaccurate information from
Customer; (c) reinstallation charges following any suspension of the
Service for cause by Seller; (d) Customer's request for use of routes or
facilities other than those selected by Seller for provision of the
Service; and (e) other circumstances in which extraordinary costs and
expenses are generated by Customer and reasonably incurred by Seller
(services under this subsection are collectively referred to herein as
"Ancillary Services"). Customer shall be liable for all charges for any
Ancillary Services provided by Seller.
6.2 If Customer desires to change the date on which Customer has requested
that Service be available, other than a request to expedite Service as set
forth above, Customer may be charged a Change of Service Date Charge. Such
charge will not apply to Customer's first change request, as long as such
request is made more than fifteen (15) business days prior to the original
Requested Start Date. If Customer makes a second change, or such change is
requested less than fifteen (15) days prior to the original Requested
Service Date, Customer will be charged Seller's then applicable Change of
Service Date Charge. Customer will also be charged for any charges
incurred by Seller from third party providers as a result of Customer's
request for Change of Service Date.
6.3 If Customer requests a modification to the information contained in a
Service Order (other than a Change of Service Date) prior to completion of
installation of the Service, Customer may incur a Change of Service Order
Charge. No charge will be incurred if the change is administrative in
nature (i.e. billing address, contact information, etc.). A charge will be
incurred if the administrative change relates to Local Access for which
Seller is acting as agent.
6.4 If Customer requests a change to Services after such Services have
been installed, Customer may incur a Change of Service Charge. If such
Change of Service is administrative in nature, Customer will not incur a
charge, unless such administrative change applies to Local Access Services
which have been ordered by Seller as agent for Customer. In addition to
the Change of Service Charge, Customer will be responsible for any charges
due to re-engineering which is required as a result of Customer's request
for Change of Service.

and acceptance of the Service, Customer will incur a Cancellation Charge.
In addition to the Cancellation Charge, Customer will be required to
reimburse Seller for any cancellation charges relating to Local Access or
off-net service for which Seller is acting as agent.
6.6 All charges referred to in this Section 6.0 shall be established as of
Seller's acceptance of the Service Order to which they apply unless they
are otherwise specifically set forth in the Williams Vyvx Services Pricing
Schedule as non-recurring charges. Such non-recurring charges will be set
forth for each type of Service available under this Agreement. Ancillary
Charges are detailed in Exhibit I attached hereto.

7.0 Payment Terms
7.1 Due Date and Invoice. All amounts stated on each monthly invoice are
due and payable upon Customer's receipt of the invoice ("Due Date").
Customer agrees to remit payment to Seller at the remittance address. In
the event Customer fails to make full payment of any amounts due,
including any prior late fees (the "Balance") to the proper address within
thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice, Customer shall also pay a
late fee in the amount of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%)
of the unpaid Balance per month or the maximum lawful rate under
applicable state law which shall accrue from the Due Date. Customer
acknowledges and understands that all charges are computed exclusive of
any applicable federal, state or local use, excise, valued added, gross
receipts, sales and privilege taxes, duties, fees or similar liabilities
(other than general income or property taxes imposed on Seller), whether
charged to or against Seller, its suppliers or affiliates or Customer
associated with the Service, Local Access Service or Ancillary Service
provided to Customer ("Additional Charges"). Such Additional Charges shall
be paid by Customer in addition to all other charges provided for herein.
7.2 Billing and Payment. All prorated monthly recurring charges (charges
for monthly Service or Ancillary Service provided for less than a calendar
month), installation and other non-recurring charges shall be billed
following the acceptance of such Service, Local Access Service or
Ancillary Service pursuant to Section 4.6 above. Payment for all monthly
recurring charges for full months during which Service, Local Access
Service or Ancillary Service are to be provided shall be billed in

running through the end of each month (the "Billing Cycle).
7.3 Billing Disputes. If Customer in good faith disputes any portion of an
invoice it must pay the undisputed amount of the invoice on or before its
Due Date and provide written notice to Seller of the billing dispute
within sixty (60) days thereafter. Such notice must include documentation
substantiating the dispute. Customer's failure to notify Seller of a
dispute shall be deemed to be Customer's acceptance of such charges. The
parties will make a good faith effort to resolve billing disputes as
expeditiously as possible. If a dispute is resolved in favor of Customer,
Customer shall receive an adjustment on its next bill.
In the event of an over billing, Customer may request billing adjustments
for a period of two (2) years after the Due Date of an invoice, or two (2)
years after the date a service is rendered, whichever is later. If
Customer has no past due balance a payment for such amounts will be issued
to Customer within 30 days of the receipt of written notification and
verification of the claim. If Customer has a past due balance a credit
will be issued to the account.
7.4 Suspension of Service.
(a) In the event payment for undisputed amounts is not received from
Customer on or before sixty (60) days following the date of the invoice,
Seller shall have the right to suspend all or any portion of the Services,
Local Access Services or Ancillary Services to Customer. Seller shall
exercise this suspension right by providing Customer with a minimum of ten
(10) days' written notice specifying the past due amount and the Services
and/or Ancillary Services to be suspended. If Seller receives the entire
specified past due amount within the ten (10) day notice period, then
Customer's Service shall not be suspended.

<PAGE>
(b) If only a portion of the Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary
Services is initially suspended pursuant to Seller's written notice, and
Customer fails to pay the specified past due amount within an additional
ten (10) days after the partial suspension of Service, then after the
additional ten (10) day period, Seller may suspend all or any additional
portion of the Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary Services to
Customer with no additional written notice. Further, after the additional
ten (10) day period, Seller may continue suspension until such time as
Customer has paid in full all charges then due, including any late fees as
specified herein. Following such payment, Seller shall reinstate
Customer's Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary Services, subject
to Seller's Right to Assurance as provided in Paragraph 7.5 below.
(c) Suspension of Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary Services as
set forth in this Paragraph shall not affect Customer's obligation to pay
for the Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary Services.
7.5 Seller's Right to Assurance.
(a) If at any time there is a material adverse change in Customer's
creditworthiness or a material change in Customer's financial position,
then in addition to any other remedies available to Seller, Seller may
elect, in its sole discretion, to demand reasonable assurance of payment
from Customer. An adverse material change in Customer's creditworthiness
shall include, but not be limited to: (a) Customer's default of its
obligations to Seller under this or any other agreement with Seller; (b)
failure of Customer to make full payment of charges due hereunder on or
before the Due Date on three (3) or more occasions during any period of

of Customer (whether in whole or by majority or controlling interest) by
an entity which is insolvent, which is subject to bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings, which owes past due amounts to Seller or any entity
affiliated with Seller or which is a materially greater credit risk than
Customer; or (d) Customer's being subject to or having filed for
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or the legal insolvency of Customer.
An adverse material change in Customer's financial position shall include,
but not be limited to: (a) a decrease in net worth or working capital of
five percent (5%) or greater; or, (b) negative net worth or working
capital. If Customer's financial statements are not public information,
upon Seller's demand for reasonable assurance of payment, Customer shall
be required to provide financial statements. After receipt of Customer's
financial information, Seller may require a deposit or other similar means
to establish reasonable assurance of payment.
(b) If Customer has not provided Seller with its financial information and
with reassurance satisfactory to Seller within thirty (30) days of
Seller's notice of demand for reassurance, then, in addition to any other
remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the option, in its sole
discretion, to exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) cause
the start of the Service, Local Access Service or Ancillary Service
described in a previously executed Service Order to be delayed pending
satisfactory reassurance; or (ii) decline to accept a Service Order or
other requests from Customer to provide Service, Local Access Service or

payment history of Customer is determined by Seller to be unacceptable,
Seller may require Customer to post a deposit or irrevocable letter of
credit, at Seller's option, to secure Customer's payment for the term of
this Agreement. Should Seller determine that a deposit or irrevocable
letter of credit is necessary, Customer and Seller will execute the
appropriate Credit or Deposit Agreement. Should Customer fail to post such
deposit or letter of credit or fail to execute the appropriate agreement
within fifteen

(15) days of Seller's notice of such requirement, or should Customer fail
to abide by the terms of any Credit or Deposit Agreement, Customer shall
be deemed to be in default of this Agreement and Seller may terminate this
Agreement in accordance with Section 8.7 below.
7.7 Taxes. If any sales taxes, valued added taxes or similar charges or
impositions are asserted against Seller after, or as a result of,
Customer's use of Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary Service by
any local, state, national, international, public or quasi-public
governmental entity or foreign government or its political subdivision,
including without limitation, any tax or charge levied to support the
federal Universal Service Fund contemplated by the Telecommunications Act
of 1996, or any state equivalent, Customer shall be solely responsible for
such taxes, charges or impositions. Customer agrees to pay any such taxes,
charges or impositions and hold Seller harmless from any liability or
expense associated with such taxes, charges or impositions.

of the disconnection. Customer agrees that the actual damages in the event
of such disconnection would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and
that the Termination Liability Charge in this Section is intended,
therefore, to establish liquidated damages and is not intended as a
penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and upon thirty (30) day's prior
written notice to the other party, either Customer or Williams shall have
the right, without incurring a Termination Liability Charge or other
liability to the other party, to disconnect the affected portion of any
Service or Ancillary Service, if Williams is prohibited by governmental
authority from furnishing or Customer is prohibited from using such
portion, or if any material rate or term contained herein and relevant to
the affected portion of any Service or Ancillary Service is substantially
changed by order of the highest court of competent jurisdiction to
adjudicate the matter, the Federal Communications Commission, or other
local, state or federal government authority.
8.7 Portability. After any Service has been in effect for a period of at
least twelve (12) months or at least three (3) months if the term of the
Service is (12) twelve months, Customer shall have the option to
disconnect a circuit and order a new circuit as a replacement without
incurring a termination liability charge. The replacement circuit must be
for the same or greater term and the same or greater monthly revenue as
the circuit being replaced and the replacement circuit must be ordered by
Customer and installed within sixty (60) days after the date on which
Customer provides Seller with written notice of cancellation. The existing
port charges will continue until the replacement port charges are
applicable. If Customer exercises this portability option, Customer will
be liable for (i) all termination liability and disconnect charges for
Local Access Services or any other third party provided facilities that
are impacted by the replacement of the circuit; and (ii) all installation
one-time charges due to Seller under Seller's standard new installation
rates and charges; and (iii) any one-time Local Access Service charges and
the new monthly recurring Local Access Service charges. Exercise of the
replacement circuit option is restricted to Service on Seller's own
network, and is subject to availability. This portability option is
further limited in that the term of the replacement circuit shall be the
balance of the term of the original circuit or six (6) months, whichever
is longer, and the replacement circuit may only be moved one (1)
additional time thereafter.
8.8 Disconnection of Services. Customer may disconnect any Service, Local
Access Service or Ancillary Service provided hereunder by providing
written notification to Seller thereof sixty (60) days in advance of the
effective date of disconnect. In the event of such disconnection, Customer
shall pay to Seller a disconnection charge, unless Customer exercises the
portability option defined in Section 8.7, in an amount equal to (i) the
monthly charge for each such disconnected Service, Local Access Service or
Ancillary Service multiplied by the number of months in the relevant Term
for such Service, Local Access Service or Ancillary Service, less the
charges for each such Service, Local Access Service or Ancillary Service
actually paid by Customer through the effective date of disconnection and
(ii) any non-recurring payments not yet paid together with any termination
liability associated with Local Access Service or any other third-party
provided service. Customer agrees that the actual damages in the event of
such disconnection would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that
the disconnection charge in this Section 8.8 is intended, therefore, to
establish liquidated damages and is not intended as a penalty.
8.9 Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranty. Seller warrants that Services or
Ancillary Services shall be provided to Customer in accordance with the
applicable Technical Specifications set forth in Exhibit II. Seller shall
use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances to remedy any
delays, interruptions, omissions, mistakes, accidents or errors in the
Services or Ancillary Services and restore such Services or Ancillary
Services to comply with the terms hereof. THE

Access Services or Ancillary Services to Customer is subject to the

Customer, Seller and its affiliates and shall not be disclosed by Customer
to any party other than the directors, officers, and employees or agents
of Customer who have specifically agreed to nondisclosure of the terms and
conditions hereof. Violation by Customer or its agents of the foregoing
provision shall entitle Seller, at its option, to discontinue Services,
Local Access Services or Ancillary Services to Customer without further
obligation or liability to Customer. Customer further agrees that any
Customer generated press release, advertisement or publication regarding
this Agreement, Services, Local Access Services or Ancillary Services
provided hereunder or in which Seller, or its affiliates are to be

obligated to make available interexchange Service on a circuit with end
points within a single state or service on a circuit which
originates/terminates at points both of which are situated within a single
state unless Customer represents in writing that such interexchange
Service or circuits shall be used to carry at least 10% interstate
telecommunications. If it is determined at any time that such
interexchange Service or circuit is subject to state regulation, the
interexchange Service or circuit may be provided by Seller or its
affiliates pursuant to applicable state laws, regulations and applicable
tariffs, or Seller and its affiliates may discontinue provision of the
affected interexchange Service or circuit.

shall provide Seller, on a semiannual basis, a universal service exemption
certificate within thirty (30) days of the Customer's filing of the
universal service filing made with the appropriate federal agency,
evidencing that the Customer is required to contribute to the federal
Universal Service Fund. Customer agrees that failure to provide such an

contribution factor (revised quarterly), plus an administrative charge of
1%.

Installation charges shall apply to the normal installation of
equipment necessary to provide the requested service to the point of
demarcation at the Customer's premises. Additional installation
charges shall apply when Seller is required to install equipment
other than that normally required to provide the service or when
Customer requests special equipment.
Non-recurring charges not described above will be considered special
requests and will be handled on an individual case basis. All of the
charges stated above are subject to change with thirty (30) days
notice.
C. Frame Relay Services
1. Rates & Charges: Williams Network Frame Relay Service has four principal
rate elements: Local Access, Port Connections, Permanent Virtual Circuits
(PVCs), and Trunking charges.
Port Connections and PVCs can be categorized as being either a
User-to-Network Interface (UNI) type or Network-to-Network Interface (NNI)
type. An NNI port is defined as one end of a connection between Seller's
frame relay network and another carrier's network. The connecting carrier
could be either a customer or off-net service provider. Similarly, an NNI
PVC is defined as one which has each end of the PVC residing in two
different carrier's frame relay networks, rather than the originating and
terminating points being in the same carrier's network.
2. Conventional Frame Relay Services:
a. Local Access: Pricing for Local Access is determined in accordance with
the Terms and Conditions set forth in Section 5.0 of the DSA.
b. Port Connections: Both UNI and NNI port charges are based solely on the
speed of the port selected by the Customer. Available port speeds range
from 64 Kilobits per second (Kbps) to 1.536 Megabits per second (Mbps).
Available speeds are set forth in Table C.1 below. Monthly recurring
charges and installation charges for frame relay ports are set forth in
Table C.1 below. Other non-recurring charges are set forth in Table C.3
below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
c. Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) bandwidth charges: UNI and NNI PVC
charges are both based solely on the bandwidth selected by Customer.
Bandwidth charges are stated in Committed Information Rates (CIR) which
are stated in Kbps increments for one-way (Simplex) PVCs. Available
PVC-CIR speeds range from 4 Kbps to 1.024 Mbps. Available speeds are set
forth in Table C.1 below. Monthly recurring charges and installation
charges for Frame Relay PVCs are set forth in Table C.1 below. Other
non-recurring charges are set forth in Table C.3 below.
d. Trunking Charges: The trunking charge is for the communication line
between the Williams Network switch and Customer's switch. The trunking
charge is added to the rates set forth in Table C.1 below.

3. Enhanced Frame Relay Service:
Frame Relay/ATM Service Interworking:
Frame Relay/ATM Service Interworking ("FRASI") gives Customer the ability
to communicate seamlessly between ATM and Frame Relay locations. There is
no additional charge for locations requiring ATM beyond the standard ATM
charges set forth in Section A of this Pricing Schedule. Only Frame Relay
PVCs can be used for FRASI service, as the smaller Frame Relay ports are
unable to handle the higher bandwidth ATM PVCs.
4. Additional Non-recurring Charges: In addition to the non-recurring
installation charges set forth in Tables C.1 & C.2 above, Customer may
incur additional non-recurring charges as set forth in Table C.3 below.

Williams Vyvx Services Troubleshooting Procedure-iBEAM
July 11, 2000
For all iBEAM circuits on the Williams Network, a Trouble Reporting Contact
number and procedure are listed below. Williams Vyvx Services Control Center
will take and verify the customer information and transfer the call to the
Williams Network Control Center (CNMC) in Sacramento. . Information required
from iBEAM is listed below as well. Williams Network Control Center in
Sacramento ("CNMC") will actively coordinate the resolution of trouble on iBEAM
circuits directly with the Customer and strive to identify, isolate and resolve
outages and communicate the status of resolution to iBEAM in such a manner as to
minimize the impact of outages on iBEAM circuits.
Contact Information:
Vyvx NCC in Tulsa Oklahoma staffed 24x7x365-- Call 1-800-888-6771
iBEAM will give Vyvx Technician the following information: Customer, Name,
Affected City Pairs, and/or Williams Network Circuit Numbers of affected
circuit/s (TWC#) and iBEAM NOC call back number.
Vyvx Technician will immediately call WCG Sacramento NCC and transfer the
information and call. Vyvx technician will state customer of record is iBEAM.
Vyvx technician will open a trouble ticket within Vyvx for information purposes
only with appropriate time and date stamps for record keeping and notes from
Sacramento on trouble and resolution.
Sacramento NCC will troubleshoot the TWC Circuit according to the
established procedures and handle the customer contact as primary interface from
this point forward. Vyvx personnel will stay informed of circuit outages and
resolution progress on all open tickets.
1.1.1 CNMC personnel will confirm outages with iBEAM technician and open trouble
ticket with actual date and time of outage, record TWC#'s and other
information necessary to troubleshoot circuit. Supervisor on Duty will be
immediately notified that this is an iBEAM circuit and Supervisor will
assign a technician to work the trouble to resolution.
1.1.2 CNMC personnel will retrieve all relevant data on the circuit from TBS
database and utilize circuit information to perform verification of
service. CNMC Personnel will notify iBEAM whether WCG is customer of
record on the Local Exchange Carrier portion of circuit immediately so
iBEAM can coordinate the cooperative testing with appropriate LEC
troubleshooting personnel.
1.1.3 CNMC personnel will actively work ticket and perform such necessary tests
to isolate trouble and communicate this to relevant parties within WCG
responsible for resolution of affected areas. This includes LEC group and
ATM Network Group. CNMC will coordinate the resolution of ticket and
maintain communications with Customer.
1.1.4 If at this time it is determined that there is no trouble and iBEAM is in
agreement, the ticket will be
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stddoc Page 30 of 31
1-CSA 991216.doc Williams Communications - Proprietary & Confidential
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
closed out and reported date and time of circuit restoration will be
recorded.
1.1.5 If there is ATM trouble iBEAM will be given a ticket number and an
expectation of when they will be either informed of repair and/or update
status.
1.1.6 If trouble is determined to be in the Local Access portion of the
circuit, CNMC personnel, with iBEAM's consent, if necessary, will work
the problem with the LEC Repair Service Center. Local Exchange Carrier
records will be accessed on the Circuit Layout Report and TBS database
and Williams Network will coordinate such resolution when WCG is the
customer of record with the associated LEC for this circuit. In the case
where another party owns the LEC order, WCG will perform end to end
testing of circuits and coordinate resolution of troubles as required
from iBEAM or Local Exchange Carrier technical personnel as needed.
1.1.7 If the trouble is determined to be in the "Network" portion of the
circuit, the CNMC personnel will then perform such test to isolate which
workgroup in Williams to refer trouble for further testing and
resolution.
1.1.8 Outages of long duration may require escalations to expedite resolution.
Escalation procedures and contacts will be followed and noted in the
ticket log. Every attempt will be made to resolve circuit problems and
inform customer of progress to this end in a timely manner.
1.1.9 Once the LEC or the On-Net provider has cleared the trouble the CNMC
personnel will then retest where possible and contact iBEAM to test end
to end and resolve the trouble reported. The CNMC then will close out
the trouble ticket following established procedures and confirmation by
iBEAM that circuit is back in operation. If circuit is tested good
through LEC Demarcation by Williams and the associated LEC and iBEAM
either does not acknowledge resolution of the problem, is not available
for testing or for some other reason does not respond, the trouble
ticket will be so noted along with the time of resolution, and the
ticket will be placed in "awaiting customer call back" status for
delayed maintenance. Within 24 to 48 hours of resolution of the trouble
and after a reasonable number of attempts to close the ticket with the
customer, CNMC will notify customer that the ticket will be closed by
the end of the business day unless Customer contacts CNMC for further
testing. CNMC will note in the trouble ticket the time circuit tested
good and inform Vyvx NCC of ticket status, time of resolution and any
Customer concerns.
1.1.10 Vyvx NCC will update their trouble ticket with the relevant notes, times
and make a final disposition for records keeping, score carding and any
possible outage credits due customer.
1.1.11 These procedures may be updated from time to time to ensure ongoing
efficiencies.

AMENDMENT 1
Data Services Agreement #01R0470.00
THIS AMENDMENT 1 ("Amendment") is made and entered into this ___ day of June,
2001, by and between Vyvx Broadband Media (formerly Williams Vyvx Services), a
business unit of Williams Communications, LLC ("Vyvx"), and iBEAM Broadcasting
Corporation ("Customer").
WHEREAS, Vyvx and Customer are parties to that certain Data Services Agreement,
dated March 19, 2001, Contract #01R0470.00 (the "Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2001, Williams Communications, Inc., became
Williams Communications, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and
WHEREAS, Vyvx and Customer desire to amend the Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing premises and mutual promises
and covenants of the parties hereto, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, Vyvx and Customer agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
1. Section 2.0 of the Agreement (Description of Services) shall be amended to
add the following additional Services, as defined in the Agreement:
2.1 Description of Dedicated Internet Service (Transit and
Non-transit):
Definition of Transit:
Transit IP traffic, i.e. off-net, is traffic that exits WCG
network via a provider and terminates at an end-user not connected
to that provider's network or any of their customer's networks.
Non-transit traffic, i.e. on-net, is traffic that exits WCG
network via a provider and terminates at an end-user directly
connected to that provider's network or one of their customer's
networks.
Dedicated Internet Service (Transit and Non-transit) provides a
Customer with a dedicated high-speed connection to the Internet.
Dedicated Internet Access Service is offered at speeds from DS1 to
GigE. Customers can choose Flat Rate, Tiered Rate or Burstable Rate
billing options. Also available are IP addresses and/or secondary
DNS requirements and USENET newsfeeds. Dedicated Internet Service
can be configured as Private Line, Frame Relay, ATM, or
Packet-over-SONET in order to allow the Customer to run the same
protocol across its network (i.e. if Customer currently has a frame
relay network, the Dedicated Internet Service Customer orders from
Seller can be configured as frame relay). Dedicated Internet Service
only provides Customer with access to the Internet and to other
Dedicated Internet Access customers within the Vyvx Network and does
not provide Customer with connectivity to other Customer sites that
are not connected to the Internet. Seller offers several options for
Customer's connectivity to the Internet, which options are more
specifically described in the Technical Specifications

for IP transit below 1000Mbps per month will be $325per Mbps per month not
to exceed $250,000. The Dedicated Internet Access volume will be measured
as the higher of either inbound or outbound traffic measured at the 95%
percentile. To attain this measurement, the customer's traffic is sampled
every 3 minutes and aggregated in 15 minute increments to obtain the usage
activity for the month. These measurements are recorded in a database. At
the end of the billing cycle, the highest 5% of samples are deleted. (So,
if there are 2,976 samples in a month, then delete the highest 149.) The
Customer agrees to a minimum commitment of 400Mbps per month of total
Dedicated Internet Access volume.
1.5 Monthly Recurring Cross Connect Charge. Monthly Recurring Cross Connect
Charges may apply to connections between Customer Equipment, Seller
facilities and network, and the equipment or cable of third parties. The
Monthly Recurring Cross Connect Charges are set forth in Table D.4.

1.6 Pricing. Pricing for the provision of Dedicated Internet Service shall be
as set out in this Schedule and is subject to change for one year from the
effective date per the terms of Exhibit I of the Agreement. It is the
intent of the Parties that iBEAM should receive favorable pricing for
Services, in keeping with the volume of Services purchased by iBEAM and
other relevant market factors. Williams and iBEAM agree to review pricing
for Services each calendar year. The standard for when pricing should be
adjusted shall be whether the overall market price for Dedicated Internet
Access in the United States has either fallen by a significant amount
below Williams' rates or risen by a significant amount above Williams'
rates.
Pricechanges shall only be effective on a going-forward basis and shall
not apply to Service Orders previously placed by Customer and accepted by
Seller prior to the effective date of the respective price change.

maximum average round trip, not to exceed 100 ms peak between Core IP POPs
when averaged over a one month period (720 hours). The SLA Latency is the
average of mean latency values for IP Core POP City pairs. The customer
will be provided monthly a matrix of Core IP City Pairs and averaged
latency times between these pairs. The worst time from this matrix is the
peak latency.
E. Packet Loss. Packet Loss is measured as the percentage of 100 byte packets
at 5 iterations of 100 trials, averaged over a month (720hours) lost
between Seller Core IP POPs (Seller IP Core Access Router to Seller IP
