         require modification or alteration, or otherwise affect performance of
         such hardware or software.

     D.  If Customer provides its own router to interface with the Products and
         Services, then Customer is fully responsible for the installation,
         maintenance, and configuration of such Customer-provided router,
         however, Sprint will have the right, in cooperation with Customer, to
         set the initial configuration for the router interface into the
         Products and Services.

9.   PROPERTY RIGHTS AND INFORMATION PROTECTION

     A.  Sprint grants to Customer a non-exclusive and non-transferable license

          developed by the receiving party completely independent of any
          disclosures hereunder; or (e) is required to be released by law.

10.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     A.   In no event will Sprint be liable, either in contract or in tort, for
          protection from unauthorized access of Customer's transmission
          facilities or Customer premise equipment; or for unauthorized access
          to or alteration, theft, or destruction of Customer's data files,
          programs, procedure, or information through accident, fraudulent means
          or devices, or any other method.

     B.   Except to the extent caused by the negligence of Sprint, Sprint will
          not be liable for claims or damages resulting from or caused by: (i)
          Customer's fault, negligence or failure to perform Customer's
          responsibilities; (ii) claims against Customer by any other party
          (except for claims of copyright or patent infringement as specified
          herein); (iii) any act or omission of any other party; or (iv)
          equipment or services furnished by a third party.

     C.   For any claim arising under or related to this Order, Customer's
          damages, if any, will be limited to those actually proven as directly
          attributable to Sprint, subject to the following limitation: Sprint
          will not be liable under any circumstances for any indirect,
          incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to
          lost profits, even if Sprint has been advised of the possibility of
          such damages. Sprint's liability for damages to Customer for any cause
          whatsoever, regardless of the form of action, and whether in contract
          or in tort, including negligence, will be limited to the lesser of
          $100,000 or the monthly charges paid for the affected Products and
          Services during the preceding twelve (12) months.

11.  INDEMNITIES

     A.   If promptly notified of any action brought against Customer based on a
          claim that Sprint provided Products and Services used by Customer
          infringe a United States patent or copyright, Sprint will defend such
          action at its expense and will pay any and all fees, costs, or damages
          that may be finally awarded in such action or resulting settlement. In
          the event that a final injunction is obtained against Customer
          prohibiting use of Products and Services by reason of infringement of
          a United States patent or copyright, Sprint will at its option and
          expense either:

          1.   Procure the right for Customer to continue using the Products and
               Services; or

          2.   Procure alternative Products and Services which furnish
               equivalent functionality; or

          3.   Direct Customer to return such Products and Services to Sprint,
               and in such event, the Order relating to such returned Products
               and Services will terminate.

     B.   Sprint will be indemnified and saved harmless by Customer from and
          against all loss, liability, damage and expense, including reasonable
          counsel fees, caused by:

          1.   Negligent acts or omissions of officers, employees, agents, or
               contractors of Customer which result in claims and demands for
               damages to property or for injury or death to persons, including
               payments made under any Worker's Compensation Law or under any
               plan for employee's disability or death benefits;

          2.   Any claims arising from information, data, or messages
               transmitted over the network by Customer including, but not
               limited to, claims for libel, slander, invasion of privacy,
               infringement of copyright, and invasion and/or alteration of
               private records or data; and

          3.   Claims for infringement of patents arising from the use of
               hardware and software not provided by Sprint in connection with
               Products and Services.

12.  DEFAULT/TERMINATION

     A.   "Default" will mean where Customer becomes subject of a voluntary or
          involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation
          proceeding; makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; admits
          in writing its inability to pay debts when due; or fails within
          fourteen (14) days after written notice to remedy any breach of these
          terms and conditions. Upon Default by Customer, Sprint may terminate
          and retake possession of Products and Services (before, during, or
          after other actions to recover sums hereunder), in which case Customer
          will provide Sprint full and free access to Products and Services for
          this purpose. Sprint's actions above will not waive Customer's
          obligation to pay for all charges due Sprint hereunder as well as any
          other damages Sprint may have sustained because of Customer's Default.

     B.   To terminate Products and Services, Customer must provide Sprint with
          thirty (30) days prior written notice. In the event of early
          termination of any Order, Customer will pay Sprint the following
          "Termination Charges":

          1.   Business Downturn - A lump sum equal to: (i) all charges for the
               Products and Services provided up to the effective date of
               termination, (ii) 50% of the fixed monthly charges set forth in
               the Order multiplied by the number of months remaining in the
               Order term (iii) a pro-rata amount of any credits and waivers
               based on the number of months remaining in the Initial Term, and
               (iv) any other direct pass-through costs (e.g., local access). A
               "Business Downturn" is defined as Customer's closing of a site or
               elimination of IP Products and Services at a site (i.e., IP
               products and services will not be provided at such site by Sprint
               or any other carrier).

          2.   Other than a Business Downturn - A lump sum equal to 100% of the
               fixed monthly charges set forth in the Order multiplied by the
               number of months remaining in the Order term.

     C.   Customer will not be liable for the Termination Charges in this
          section if another Sprint product and service of the same or greater
          monthly price with a term no less than the remaining months in the
          Initial Term, or 1 year, whichever is greater, is ordered at the same
          time as the notice of termination is received or the termination is
          due to a material failure of Sprint. Customer agrees to provide prompt
          written notice to Sprint of any material failure by Sprint to provide
          Products and Services. If Sprint fails to cure such failure within a
          reasonable time, Customer may terminate the affected Products and
          Services on 30 days' written notice to Sprint

          without further liability, except for Customer's obligation to pay for
          all charges due Sprint for Products and Services provided through the
          date of such termination. A material failure by Sprint shall not
          include a failure caused by the local exchange carrier, Customer
          premise equipment, Customer nor any other failure caused by
          circumstances not within the sole control of Sprint.

13.  GENERAL

     A.   Customer will not assign or transfer the Order without the prior
          written consent of Sprint. Sprint may, however, assign the Order to
          its parent company or an affiliate with thirty (30) days notice.

     B.   Sprint will not be responsible for performance of its obligations
          hereunder where delayed or hindered by war, riots, embargoes,
          strikes, (whether of Sprint or others), casualties, accidents, or
          other occurrences beyond Sprint's control. Sprint will notify Customer
          in the event of any of the foregoing occurrences. Should such
          occurrence continue for more than sixty (60) days, Sprint or Customer
          may cancel the affected Products and Services with no further
          liability.

     C.   The provision of Products and Services hereunder is subject to
          Sprint's continuing approval of Customer's credit-worthiness. Customer
          will furnish financial information as Sprint may from time to time
          reasonably request to determine Customer's credit-worthiness.

     D.   Any disputes or claims arising out of or related to the Order will be
          brought within one (1) year of the occurrence.

     E.   These terms and conditions may not be modified except by written
          amendment by the parties. No agent, employee, or representative of
          Sprint or Customer has authority to bind the parties to any
          representation or warranty unless such is specifically included in
          these terms and conditions, the Order, or written amendments thereto.

     F.   Notice to the parties of disputes arising under the Order will be sent

          recent Order. All other notices may be sent by regular mail.

     G.   The parties will attempt to resolve all disputes arising out of or
          related to this Order through good faith negotiations. In the event
          that the parties cannot reach an agreement, any dispute arising out of
          or relating to this Order will be finally settled by arbitration in
          accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
          arbitration will be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9
          U.S.C. Sec. 1, et. seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the
          arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court with jurisdiction. The
          arbitration will be held in the Kansas City, MO metropolitan area.

     H.   The Order, including these terms and conditions, will be construed and
          enforced in accordance with, and the validity and performance hereof
          will be governed by, the laws of the state of Kansas.

                                   ADDENDUM TO
                         SPRINT IP PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

                       ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
                           INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS

In addition to the Sprint IP Products and Services Terms and Conditions, the
following terms and conditions will govern Sprint's provision of such Products
and Services to an Internet service provider ("Service Provider"). Customer
will be considered a Service Provider if Sprint determines that Customer's
primary business is to resell Internet access, including the sale of dedicated
Internet connections or SLIP/PPP dial-up connections to others, as these require
that an IP network, subnet, or host number be assigned to the end-user. As a
Service Provider, Customer will be Internet-knowledgeable and capable of
independently configuring TCP/IP communications, applications, and routing
software in their local network environments.

1.   Connection Equipment -- The equipment required for connection to the
     Products and Services consists of the following: IP Router, Channel Service
     Unit (CSU), Data Service Unit (DSU) or DS3-DSU, and a Inverse Multiplexer.
     Specific requirements regarding connection equipment for Service Providers
     are listed below.

     a.   Service Provider will provide its own IP Router.

     b.   Service Provider will install, maintain, configure, and manage the IP
          Router hardware and software.

     c.   Service Provider will configure its local network environment and
          applications. This includes, but may not be limited to, installation
          and configuration of Internet servers for Mail, News, and the Domain
          Name System (DNS).

     d.   At the option of Service Provider, either Sprint or Service Provider
          will provide the CSU/DSU or DS3-DSU. Sprint will always provide the
          Inverse Multiplexer.

     e.   If Sprint provides the CSU/DSU, then the service demarcation point
          will be such CSU/DSU. If Service Provider provides the CSU/DSU, then
          the service demarcation point is the LEC provided Smartjack or
          equivalent at the Service Provider's location.

     f.   Sprint will maintain the Products and Services pursuant to the Sprint
          IP Terms and Conditions, however Service Provider will be responsible
          for resolving problems which are isolated to the IP Router, CSU/DSU
          (if provided by Service Provider) or its local network environment and
          applications.

                                                      Agreement No. BSG9811-261

2.   Routing Configurations -- The routing configuration supported by the
     Products and Services differs based on whether Service Provider's network
     is single-homed (e.g. only one connection to the Products and Services) or
     multi-homed (e.g. more than one connection to the Products and Services, or
     one connection to the Products and Services and an alternate connection to
     another entity providing access to the Internet).

     a.   If Service Provider's network is single-homed, then Sprint will
          configure a fixed list of static routes during service implementation
          to support routing of Service Provider's network number(s). Service
          Provider will configure the proper static routes on the IP Router for
          connection to the Products and Services. Additionally, Service
          Provider will configure the routing within its local network
          environment.

     b.   If Service Provider's network is multi-homed, then Sprint will
          configure dynamic routing during service implementation to support
          routing of Service Provider's network number(s). This requires that
          Service Provider have an Internet Autonomous System (AS) number (see
          Section 3 below entitled "Internet Registration" for additional
          information regarding AS numbers). Sprint will use Border Gateway
          Protocol Version 4 ("BGP-4") dynamic routing protocol for multi-homed
          configurations. Service Provider will configure BGP-4 on the IP Router
          for connection to the Products and Services. Service Provider will
          configure the routing within its local network environment.

     NOTE: Sprint reserves the right to configure dynamic routing for
     single-homed configurations when routing changes are requested on a regular
     or frequent basis.

3.   Internet Registrations - There are several registrations required for an
     Internet connection. These include an Internet Network Number, an Internet
     Domain Name, and if applicable an Autonomous System (AS) number (i.e.
     required for multi-homed environments only). Sprint will perform these
     Internet registrations on behalf of a Service Provider as specified below:

     a.   Internet Network Number (e.g. IP Addresses) Registration - Sprint will
          assign Service Provider one or more Class C Internet Network Numbers
          during implementation of the Products and Services. When more than one
          Class C Internet Network Number is required, Sprint will assign a
          block of contiguous Class C Internet Network Numbers, subject to
          Sprint's then current address assignment policies.

     b.   Domain Name Registration - Sprint will register a domain name for
          Service Provider during implementation of the Products and Services.
          Service Provider will provide Sprint with the domain name they wish to
          have registered at the time the Products and Services are ordered.
          Service Provider will be fully responsible for the registration of
          domain names for its customers.

     c.   Autonomous System Number Registration - If Service Provider's network
          environment is multi-homed, Sprint will, during implementation of the
          Products and Services, obtain an Autonomous System (AS) number on
          behalf of Service Provider unless Service Provider already has such an
          AS number.

4.   Domain Name Service (DNS) - Each user of Sprint IP Products and Services
     which registers an Internet domain name must provide at least two name
     servers for the domain: a primary DNS, and a secondary DNS for backup
     purposes. Requirements regarding DNS for Service Provider are listed below:

</TABLE>


     1.2  Customer Requirements. Both end-point Sprint Access Nodes must be
          located within the 48 contiguous United States or the District of
          Columbia.

2.   AVERAGE NETWORK DELAY CALCULATION.

     Average Network Delay is calculated by using Sprint-initiated PING Tests,
     as follows:

     2.1  Calculations.

          2.1.1     Calculation for Dial IP Delay. POP-to-POP one-way delay is
                    the time it takes for a Sprint generated PING to go from a
                    Sprint Rotary to a Sprint PING server at the Sprint Access
                    Node to which Customer's IP site is connected. The
                    performance guarantee is based on the monthly average delay
                    response times for the Sprint-initiated PING Tests at 10
                    Customer-selected Dial Access Sites. The calculation is as
                    follows:

            Sum of One-way Delays (Internet or Intranet Networks)
            for 10 Customer Selected Rotaries                           Average
            ------------------------------------------------------   =  Network
                                    10                                  Delay

          2.1.2     Calculation for Dedicated Internet Network Delay. POP-to-POP
                    one-way delay is the time it takes for a Sprint-generated
                    PING to go one-way between two Sprint Access Nodes to which
                    Customer's IP sites are connected. The calculation is based
                    on the monthly average delay response time for the
                    Sprint-initiated PING Tests.

     2.2  Definitions. The following definitions are used in this SLA:

          (A)  Rotary - means the NPA-NYX-XXXX number dialed by Customer modems
               to access Sprint's IP Networks.

          (A)  the PING type is IP ICMP;

          (B)  the PING size is 64 bytes;

          (C)  the number of PINGs is 5 PINGs every hour for an entire calendar
               month; and

          (D)  PING time-outs shall equal 1 second (1000 milliseconds).

     2.4  Components Included in Average Network Delay. Subject to the
          exceptions listed in subsection 2.5, Average Network Delay is
          calculated based on the performance of:

          (A)  all IP Networks Components; and

          (B)  rotaries.

          (H)  any components operated by an Internet Service Provider or a
               network operator other than Sprint.

3.   AVERAGE NETWORK DELAY REMEDY

     If Customer believes that Sprint has failed to meet its Committed Network
     Delay, Customer must contact its Sprint Account Manager. Upon Sprint's
     verification that the actual average network delay in a month is greater
     than the Committed Network Delay, Sprint will issue a service credit
     ("Service Credit") to Customer. The Service Credit will equal 10% of the
     monthly recurring charge for the affected IP Port in the applicable month,
     not to exceed the limits in Section 4.
