The Service is subject to the terms and conditions contained here and the WorldCom Commercial Application for Credit. 2.

Upon expiration of the Term, unless either party gives written notice to the other party thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Term, the Term will continue on a month-to-month basis until this Agreement is terminated by either party on at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. Customer shall be liable for all charges associated with actual usage of the Services during the Term and any extension thereof. 3.

Accounts are in default if payment is not received within such 30-day period. Accounts unpaid 60 days after date of invoice may have their service disconnected without further notice to Customer. Such disconnection does not relieve Customer from the obligation to pay the monthly charge and any applicable cancellation charges. Only a written request to terminate Customer's service relieves Customer of Customer's obligation to pay the monthly account charge. Accounts in default are subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. If Customer's state law does not allow an interest rate of 1.5% per month, the maximum allowable rate for Customer's state will be charged. Customer agrees to pay WorldCom its reasonable expenses, including attorney and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under this Agreement. B. Billing for Service will commence when the connection from the MAE facility is completed to Customer's site or collocation space and IP packets can be passed. Service is invoiced monthly in advance. 6. CANCELLATION CHARGE: A. After this Agreement is accepted by WorldCom, Customer may cancel all or a portion of the Service if Customer provides written notification thereof to WorldCom thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of cancellation. In such case, Customer shall pay to WorldCom all charges for Service described herein provided through the effective date of such cancellation plus a cancellation charge determined as follows: (i) if the Term is one (1) year or less, then the cancellation charge shall be an amount equal to the balance of the monthly recurring charges (then in effect at the time of cancellation) for such canceled Service that otherwise would have become due for the unexpired balance of the Term (but in no event less than zero); (ii) if the Term is longer than one (1) year and such cancellation becomes effective prior to completion of the first year of the Term, then the cancellation charge shall be an amount equal to the balance of the monthly recurring charges (then in effect at the time of cancellation) for such canceled Service that otherwise would have become due for the unexpired portion of the first year of the Term plus eighty-five percent (85%) of the balance of such monthly recurring charges for the remainder of the Term beyond the first year; and, (iii) if the Term for the canceled Service is longer than one (1) year and such cancellation becomes effective after completion of the first year of the Term, then the cancellation charge shall be an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the balance of the monthly recurring charges (then in effect at the time of cancellation) for such canceled Service that otherwise would have become due for the unexpired portion of the Term. It is agreed that WorldCom's damages in the event Customer cancels Service shall be difficult or impossible to ascertain. The aforementioned provision for a cancellation charge is intended to establish liquidated damages in the event of a cancellation and is not intended as a penalty. B. Service Credits: If Customer notifies WorldCom immediately upon failure to access Service and WorldCom determines in its reasonable commercial judgment that Service is unavailable to Customer, the following will apply: (i) if WorldCom determines that Service is unavailable for one (1) or more (but fewer than four) consecutive hours during such calendar month, WorldCom, upon Customer's request, will credit Customer's account for such month the pro-rated charges equal to one (1) day's service, (ii) if WorldCom determines that Service is unavailable for four (4) or more hours during such calendar month, WorldCom, upon Customer's request, will credit Customer's account for such month for the pro-rated charges equal to one (1) week's service. This paragraph states WorldCom's sole obligation and Customer's exclusive remedy for any unavailability of Service. The remedies set forth in this paragraph shall not apply if unavailability of Service is due to scheduled maintenance, Customer's equipment, Customer access connections, network unavailability outside of Service or events of force majeure. Credits will not apply to charges for local access or any charges for services other than the Service as described in paragraph (i) above. Customers with multiple connections to a failed MAE ATM facility will not receive credits pursuant to this paragraph if at least one connection continues with Service available. Customer's account shall not be credited more than once per month pursuant to this paragraph. 7. CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITIES: A. Fraudulent Transactions: In the event WorldCom discovers fraudulent use of Service (or reasonably believes such fraudulent use exists), nothing contained herein shall prohibit WorldCom from taking immediate action (without notice to Customer) that is reasonably necessary to prevent such fraudulent use of Service from taking place, including without limitation, denying or terminating Service to and from specific locations. B. Preparation: WorldCom is not responsible for the installation, maintenance, compatibility or performance of any equipment or software not provided by WorldCom, and Customer shall indemnify WorldCom and its affiliates against any infringement claims arising out of the use of such third party equipment or software in connection with the Service. If such third party equipment or software impairs Service, Customer shall remain liable for payment, and if such third party equipment is likely to cause hazard or service obstruction, Customer shall eliminate such likelihood at WorldCom's request. 9 C. Use of Products and Services: Customer shall not, nor shall it permit or assist others including Customer's end users and customers to: (i) use the Service for any purpose other than that for which it is intended or use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation or in aid of any unlawful act including any use that is harassing, or which infringes on another's intellectual property rights, copyrighted material, material legally judged to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret, or which otherwise constitutes Service abuse, and Customer shall be responsible for any such misuse of the Service, (ii) use Service so as to interfere with the use of the MAE facility or any other network or the use of any Service by other customers or authorized users, (iii) use the Service to access, alter, destroy or attempt to access, alter or destroy any information of another WorldCom customer, (iv) fail to maintain a suitable environment specified by WorldCom, or (v) alter, tamper with, adjust or repair the Service. Upon the occurrence of any of the above, WorldCom shall be completely released from any liability or obligation to Customer relative to the Service and this Agreement, and Customer shall be liable to WorldCom for costs or damages incurred by WorldCom resulting therefrom. Customer shall indemnify and hold WorldCom harmless against any liabilities losses, demands, liabilities, suits or actions including any claims resulting from Customer's use of Service, or use of the Service by its customers or others throughout Customer's chain of distribution, including end users, which damages WorldCom or a third party. Customer shall be responsible for communicating with Customer's own users of the Service, and for handling all complaints and trouble reports made by such users. Customer must comply with reasonable security procedures and standards with respect to Customer's own routers or switch equipment that interface with Service. WorldCom may (but is under no obligation to) communicate security issues to Customer from time to time when abuse or misuse is observed or reported by others. Customer shall be responsible for compliance with rules governing the networks of other WorldCom MAE Service customers which may include executing interconnection agreements with such other WorldCom MAE Service customers. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold WorldCom harmless, from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, suits or actions by any WorldCom MAE Service customers to the extent such claim, demand, liability, suit or action relates to Customers obligations contained herein. D. Customer equipment: Customer agrees to connect only WorldCom certified equipment to the MAE ATM switch equipment. This applies whether the Service is terminated at collocation space within WorldCom facilities or the service is terminated at Customer's premises by use of WorldCom's or any other carriers' local access circuits. E. Maintenance: WorldCom reserves the right to perform scheduled and emergency maintenance on the MAE facilities and any other equipment used to provide the Service. In the case of scheduled maintenance, WorldCom agrees to give Customer prior notice of the maintenance outage. In the case of emergency maintenance, WorldCom agrees to use its best efforts to notify Customer prior to such maintenance outage. F. Peering: WorldCom does not undertake to secure a commercial agreement and technical implementation between two Internet service providers to exchange Internet traffic between their two networks ("Peering") for the Customer. Connection to a MAE does not indicate that Customer will be able to transmit traffic to or receive traffic from any other Service customer connected to a MAE. WorldCom in no way guarantees Customer that any other customer connected to a MAE will remain connected. Before WorldCom will provide Customer with Service, Customer must provide WorldCom with a copy of a bona fide Peering agreement between Customer and a WorldCom MAE Customer. 8. MODIFICATION OF SERVICES: WorldCom reserves the right to eliminate Service offerings and/or modify charges for Service offerings (which charge modifications shall not exceed then current generally available WorldCom charges for comparable services), upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer, which notice will state the effective date for the charge modifications. In the event WorldCom notifies Customer of the elimination of a Service offering and/or an increase in the charge, Customer may terminate the affected Service without incurring a cancellation charge. In order to cancel that offering, Customer must notify WorldCom, in writing, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the increase in charges. 9.

WORLDCOM MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR ENDORSEMENTS REGARDING ANY MERCHANDISE, INFORMATION, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH THE INTERNET.
