6.SCOPE OF ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Page 4

CONFIDENTIAL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statement of Work No. 90 (NE)        
SOW:     _ No        
√Yes

Contractor shall perform the Additional Services set forth herein. The
Additional Services under this SOW consist exclusively of the work set forth in
this Article 6. The Additional Services under this SOW are not an Enhancement to
the NPAC/SMS Software as defined in the Master Agreement.
6.1    Scope
The NPAC/SMS is configured to support dedicated circuits consisting of T1s or
Fractional T1s. As implementations of “Next-Generation Networks” increase and
the use of Ethernet connectivity expands, Service Providers are beginning to
encounter situations where T1 or DS3 connections are not available and the only
type of connection option is via Ethernet. In order to support these
technological changes, NPAC/SMS connections need to support Ethernet in addition
to current T1 technology. Thus, this SOW introduces the capability, as set forth
in Section 6.2 below, for mechanized Users to make use of an Ethernet connection
for access to the NPAC/SMS, for transport of data between Users' sites and
NPAC/SMS data center sites.
In order to meet urgent industry needs, Contractor shall first establish a
temporary arrangement for Ethernet access to the NPAC/SMS using Contractor’s
corporate Ethernet network.  Upon securing long-term access arrangements for
Ethernet access, Contractor shall transition Users from Contractor’s corporate
Ethernet network to long-term access arrangements.
SLR 7, set forth in Exhibit G of the Agreement, shall not apply to Users
availing themselves of this temporary arrangement for Ethernet access.  SLR 7
shall, however, apply to Users making use of the long–term access arrangement
for Ethernet access.
6.2    Change Order
The NPAC/SMS shall provide the functionality of the NANC change order (“Change
Order”) 452. The change order provides an Ethernet interface to the NPAC/SMS for
mechanized Users.
7.OUT OF SCOPE SERVICES
This SOW contains the agreed upon terms and conditions that shall govern
Contractor’s performance of the Additional Services described herein. The
Additional Services provided for in this SOW shall not be interpreted, implied,
or assumed to include any other service(s), including additional or changed
services, not specifically described in Article 6 above. Any and all requested
or required services or change orders (hereinafter “Out of Scope Services”) may
be provided in accordance with Article 13 of the Master Agreement.
8.PROJECT SCHEDULE
The schedule set forth in the following table sets forth a summary of tasks and
time frames for implementation of the Change Order:

Agreement, on the last day of a calendar month and shall send such invoice to
each User for the amount of its User charges. Contractor shall also prepare and
deliver to Customer a report (the “Monthly Summary of Charges”) setting forth

amounts owing to Contractor that have been separately invoiced to User. If
re-invoice occurs following the thirty (30) day payment schedule, then such
invoice for the undisputed amount shall be paid within ten (10) business days of
receipt by User. User and Contractor shall seek to resolve any such disputes
expeditiously, but in any event within less than thirty (30) days after receipt
of notice thereof. All disputed amounts ultimately paid or awarded to Contractor
shall bear interest from the thirtieth (30th) day following the original invoice
date.
10.4
Taxes

Each User shall remit to or reimburse Contractor for any taxes that it is
obligated to pay by law, rule or regulation or under this SOW, the Master
Agreement or its respective NPAC/SMS User Agreement.
11.MISCELLANEOUS
11.1    Except as specifically modified and amended hereby, all the provisions
of the Master Agreement and the User Agreements entered into with respect
thereto, and all exhibits and schedules thereto, shall remain unaltered and in
full force and effect in accordance with their terms. From and after the SOW
Effective Date hereof, any reference in the Master Agreement to itself and any
Article, Section or subsections thereof or to any Exhibit thereto, or in any
User Agreement to itself or to the Master Agreement and applicable to any time
from and after the SOW Effective Date hereof, shall be deemed to be a reference
to such agreement, Article, Section, subsection or Exhibit, as modified and
amended by this SOW. From and after the SOW Effective Date, this Statement of
Work shall be a part of the Master Agreement, including its Exhibits, and, as
such, shall be subject to the terms and conditions therein. Each of the
respective Master Agreements with respect to separate Service Areas remains an
independent agreement regarding the rights and obligations of each of the
Parties thereto with respect to such Service Area, and neither this SOW nor any
other instrument shall join or merge any Master Agreement with any other, except
by the express written agreement of the Parties thereto.

11.2    If any provision of this SOW is held invalid or unenforceable the
remaining provision of this SOW shall become null and void and be of no further
force or effect. If by rule, regulation, order, opinion or decision of the
Federal Communications Commission or any other regulatory body having
jurisdiction or delegated authority with respect to the subject matter of this
SOW or the Master Agreement, this SOW is required to be rescinded or is declared
ineffective or void in whole or in part, whether temporarily, permanently or ab
initio (an “Ineffectiveness Determination”), immediately upon such
Ineffectiveness Determination and without any requirement on any party to
appeal, protest or otherwise seek clarification of such Ineffectiveness
Determination, this SOW shall be rescinded and of no further force or effect
retroactively to the Amendment Effective Date. Consequently, the Master
Agreement in effect immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date shall
continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, unchanged or
modified in any way by this SOW. In the event of an Ineffectiveness
Determination, any amounts that would have otherwise been due and payable under

the Amendment Effective Date (including, but not limited to any adjustments
necessary to retroactively re-price TN Porting Events under Exhibit E from the
Amendment Effective Date through the date of the Ineffectiveness Determination,
or other amounts or credits, to any party hereunder), shall be invoiced by
Contractor at the earliest practical Billing Cycle in accordance with the Master
Agreement and shall be due and payable in accordance with the applicable invoice
therewith or shall be credited or applied for the benefit of the Customer or any
Allocated Payor in accordance with the Master Agreement.
11.3    This SOW may be executed in two or more counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties
had signed the same document. All such counterparts shall be deemed an original,
shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.
11.4    If at any time hereafter a Customer, other than a Customer that is a
party hereto desires to become a party hereto, such Customer may become a party
hereto by executing a joinder agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions
of this SOW, as modified from time to time.
11.5    This SOW is the joint work product of representatives of Customer and
Contractor; accordingly, in the event of ambiguities, no inferences will be

regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous
agreement, discussions, negotiations or representations between the Parties,
whether written or oral, with respect thereto. The modifications, amendments and
price concessions made herein were negotiated together and collectively, and
each is made in consideration of all of the other terms herein. All such
modifications, amendments and price concessions are interrelated and are
