Agreement.
Important tariff provisions relating to SynchroNet are set forth herein:
1. The Company will furnish, install, maintain and provide Private Line

SynchroNet service is installed or this Agreement is executed.
2. The Subscriber agrees to pay the Company for the provision of the
SynchroNet ("Service"). The Service is offered for periods of 24 to 42
months, or 43 to 60 months. This monthly rate will continue for the elected
service period and will not be subject to Company initiated change during
such period.
The monthly rates for SynchroNet service covered under this Agreement in
effect at the time the Service is installed or the Agreement executed will
be in effect until the expiration of the service period chosen by the
Subscriber. Other rates applicable to other services provided by the
Company, that are connected to the SynchroNet service, may be increased
during this period as governed by their respective tariffs.
3. The service period for this Agreement shall be ___ months. The rates
and charges for items under this Agreement are identified in Attachment A
of this agreement.
4. In the event that any item of Service is terminated prior to the
expiration of the service period, the Subscriber shall pay a Termination
Liability Charge as specified in the tariff.
The following conditions shall also be treated as a termination of service:
(a) Transfer (i.e. T&F) of SynchroNet to a new location when the criteria
for "Moves of Service" in the tariff for Termination Liability are not met.
(b) Removal of SynchroNet service when change or substitution is requested
by the Subscriber.
5. Additions may be added to an existing service at the customer's option;

be applied.
6. At the expiration of the service period, the Subscriber may select a
new payment period according to renewal options provided under the tariff.
If the Subscriber does not elect an additional service period, or does not
request discontinuance of the service, then the above service will be
continued at the monthly rate then currently in effect for month to month
rates. Service periods may also be renewed prior to expiration in
accordance with regulations and rates then in effect.
7. Suspension of service is not permitted for SynchroNet.
8. The Subscriber agrees to pay any added costs incurred by the Company
due to a Subscriber initiated change in the location of the SynchroNet
service prior to the time it is placed in Service.
9. In the event the Service requested by the Subscriber is canceled prior
to the establishment of Service, but after the date of ordering reflected
herein, the Subscriber is required to reimburse the Company for all
expenses incurred in handling the request before the notice of cancellation
is received. Such charge however, is not to exceed the sum of all charges
which would apply if the work involved in complying with the request had
been completed.
10. Subject to the current provisions of applicable tariffs, the
Subscriber may arrange to have existing Service under this Agreement moved
within the same premises. The Subscriber agrees to pay a nonrecurring
charge based upon the estimated cost or tariff rate of such move without
interruption or change in the monthly rates.
11. Service may be transferred to another Subscriber at the same location
upon prior written concurrence of the Company. The new Subscriber to whom
the Service is transferred will be subject to all tariff provisions and
configurations currently in effect for the present Subscriber.
