Upon receipt of the Connection Notice, Customer shall have a period of seventy two (72) hours to confirm that the Service has been installed and is properly functioning. Unless Customer delivers written notice to Level 3 within such seventy two (72) hour period that the Service is not installed in accordance with the Customer Order and functioning properly, billing shall commence on the applicable Service Commencement Date, regardless of whether Customer has procured services from other carriers needed to operate the Service, and regardless of whether Customer is otherwise prepared to accept delivery of ordered Service. 3.2 CHARGES. The Customer Order will set forth the applicable non-recurring charges and recurring charges for the Service. In the event such Service requires Level 3 to install additional infrastructure, cabling, electronics or other materials in the provision of the Service, such Customer Order may include (as specified therein) non-recurring charges that are payable by Customer immediately upon Level 3's acceptance of such Customer Order. In the event Customer fails to pay such non recurring charges within two (2) business days following Level 3's delivery to Customer of the Customer Welcome Letter, (i) such failure to pay shall constitute an Excused Outage for purposes of installation of the Service; (ii) Level 3 may issue a revised Customer Commit Date; and (iii) Level 3 may suspend installation of the Service until receipt of such non-recurring charges. If Customer requests and Level 3 approves (in its sole discretion) any changes to the Customer Order or Service after acceptance by Level 3, including, without limitation, the Service installation date or Service Commencement Date, additional non-recurring charges and/or monthly recurring charges not otherwise set forth in the Customer Order may apply. 3.3 PAYMENT OF INVOICES.

Usage detail will be provided via FTP format on a daily basis. Customer will also be provided monthly telemanagement reports as follows: a Terminating LATA Summary Report; a Terminating LEG Report; and a Terminating County Summary Report. 3.4 TAXES AND FEES. All charges for Service are net of applicable taxes. Except for taxes based on Level 3's net income, Customer will be responsible for all applicable taxes that arise in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, value added, consumption, sales, use, gross receipts, excise, access, bypass, franchise or other taxes, fees, duties, charges or surcharges, however designated, imposed on, incident to, or based upon the provision, sale or use of the Service. 3.5 REGULATORY AND LEGAL CHANGES. In the event of any change in applicable law, regulation, decision, rule or order that materially increases the costs or other terms of delivery of Service, Level 3 and Customer will negotiate regarding the rates to be charged to Customer to reflect such increase in cost and, in the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement respecting new rates within thirty (30) days after Level 3's delivery of written notice requesting renegotiation, then (a) Level 3 may pass such increased costs through to Customer, and (b) Customer may terminate the affected Customer Order without termination liability by delivering written notice of termination no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of the rate increase. 3.6 DISPUTED INVOICES.

In the event that the dispute is resolved against Customer, Customer shall pay such amounts plus interest at the rate referenced in Section 3.3. 3.7 REVENUE COMMITMENT. In the event that Customer makes a Revenue Commitment in any Customer Order, then Customer will be billed for and be responsible to pay the greater of (a) the recurring charges for Service ordered and delivered, or (b) the amount of the Revenue Commitment. 3.8 TERMINATION CHARGES. (A) Customer may cancel a Customer Order following Level 3's acceptance of the same and prior to the Customer Commit Date, upon prior written notice to Level 3. In the event that Customer does so, or in the event that the delivery of such Service is terminated by Level 3 prior to delivery of a Connection Notice due to a failure of Customer to comply with these Terms, Customer shall pay Level 3 a cancellation charge equal to the sum of (i) in the case of Colocation Space, the costs incurred by Level 3 in returning the Colocation Space to a condition suitable for use by third parties, plus (ii) the greater of: (a) any third party cancellation/termination charges and other Level 3 out of pocket expenses related to the installation and/or cancellation of Service, or (b) as the case may be: (i) one (1) month's monthly recurring charges for the cancelled Service if written notice of cancellation is received by Level 3 more than five (5) business days prior to the Customer Commit Date; or (ii) three (3) month's monthly recurring charges for the cancelled Service if written notice of cancellation is received by Level 3 five (5) business days or less prior to the Customer Commit Date.

(B) In addition to Customer right of cancellation under Section 3.8(A) above, Customer may terminate Service prior to the end of the Service Term upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Level 3, subject to the following termination charges.

SECTION 10. (3)CONNECT(SM) MODEM SERVICE 10.1 APPLICABILITY. This Section is applicable only where Customer orders (3)Connect(SM) Modem Service (either "Dedicated Service," "Dedicated Service with QuickStart," or "Transit Service"). 10.2 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. Any telephone numbers used in providing the (3)Connect(SM) Modem Services shall be released to Customer upon expiration or termination hereof to the extent that it is technically feasible for Level 3 to port packet switched telephone numbers and then only if Customer is in compliance with the Terms. SECTION 11. (3)CROSSROADS(SM) SERVICE 11.1 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"). 11.2 CHARGES.

(A) Fixed rate charges for (3)CrossRoads(SM) Services consist of two (2) components: (a) a fixed installation charge (nonrecurring) per connection; and (b) a fixed monthly recurring port charge. (B) Destination Sensitive Billing charges for (3)CrossRoads(SM) Services consist of three (3) components: (a) a fixed installation charge (nonrecurring) per connection; (b) a fixed monthly recurring port charge; and (c) monthly recurring charges based on usage. 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)CrossRoads(SM) 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 (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 three (3) components: (a) a fixed installation charge (nonrecurring) per connection; (b) a fixed monthly recurring port charge based on the Committed Data Rate; and (c) monthly recurring charges based on usage to the extent usage exceeds the 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. SECTION 12. (3)VOICE(SM) TERMINATION SERVICE 12.1 APPLICABILITY. This Section is applicable only where Customer orders (3)Voice(SM) Termination Service (which may include Service designated in a Customer Order as (3)Voice(SM) Service). 12.2 SERVICE DESCRIPTION. (3)Voice(SM) Termination Service provides Customer with a combined transport and termination rate for the purpose of delivering Customer voice traffic from the Customer Premises to the PSTN (Public Switched 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 12.3 BILLING AND RATES. (A) Customer will be billed at Level 3's then current (3)Voice(SM) 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 Page 8 of 12 <PAGE> 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) Customer further acknowledges receipt from Level 3 of Level 3's current call success rates (sometimes referred to as access seizure ratios or ASRs) respecting the Services and Customer agrees that: (i) it shall not open/initiate trouble tickets regarding Service meeting the ASR's; and (ii) that Level 3 may close any trouble tickets immediately which are opened by Customer in violation of (i) above. (D) 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. SECTION 13. (3)VOICE(SM) EXCHANGE IP SERVICE 13.1 APPLICABILITY. This Section is applicable only where Customer orders (3)Voice(SM) Exchange IP Service. 13.2 SERVICE DESCRIPTION. (3)Voice(SM) Exchange IP Service provides Customer with the ability to transport voice traffic from the Customer Premises across the Level 3 network for termination either to other Level 3 Customer locations, to other Level 3 customers or to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). Customer can originate traffic in an IP format using the version 2.0 SIP protocol and, once available the version 2.0 H.323 protocol. 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) Exchange IP 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 CHARGES. Charges for (3)Voice(SM) Exchange IP Services consist of two components: (a) a fixed installation charge (nonrecurring) per connection; and (b) a monthly recurring charge based on usage (the "Transport Usage Charge"). An additional usage charge will apply if traffic is terminated on the PSTN (the "Termination Usage Charge"). Customer's Transport Usage Charge will be determined by Level 3 by measuring and recording Customer's IP bandwidth usage and Customer will be billed per minute of use. In addition, if Customer terminates traffic to the PSTN, then Customer will also be billed a Termination Usage Charge at Level 3's then current (3)Voice(SM) Exchange usage rates, billing increments and call minimums. Level 3 reserves the right to change these rates, increments and minimums with prior notice to Customer. Customer further acknowledges receipt from Level 3 of Level 3's current call success rates (sometimes referred to as access seizure ratios or ASRs) respecting the Services and Customer agrees that: (i) it shall not open/initiate trouble tickets regarding Service meeting the ASR's; and (ii) that Level 3 may close any trouble tickets immediately which are opened by Customer in violation of (i) above. SECTION 14. (3)VOICE(SM) ORIGINATION SERVICE 14.1 APPLICABILITY. This Section is applicable only where Customer Orders (3)Voice(SM) Origination Service. 14.2 SERVICE DESCRIPTION.

Customer will be provided direct inward dial (DID) number(s) 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 "Port 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 which Customer commits to buy from Level 3 for the duration of stated Service Term (the "Port 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.
