limitation any applicable underutilization charges and/or early termination
charges, within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of the Company’s

and where said carrier does not have a one-stop billing arrangement with the
Company that allows the Company to bill Customer on behalf of such third party,
Customer agrees to pay for said element directly to such third party carrier.

 

8.2                                 Security Deposit. If the Company through a
commercially reasonable evaluation, determines that Customer is financially

added taxes and other taxes, similar tax-like charges, and tax-related and other

Company with a valid, duly executed exemption certificate, the Company shall
exempt Customer  in accordance with applicable law, effective on the date the
exemption certificate is received by the Company.

 

(c)                                  Taxes based on the Company’s net income
shall be the sole responsibility of the Company; provided that, if Customer is
required by the laws of any foreign tax jurisdiction to withhold income or
profits taxes from any payment, Customer shall, within ninety (90) days of the
date of such withholding, provide to the Company official tax certificates
documenting remittance of such taxes to the relevant tax authorities.  Such tax
certificates shall be in a form sufficient under the US Internal Revenue Code to
document the qualification of such income or profits tax for the foreign tax
credit allowable against the Company’s US corporation income tax, and shall be
accompanied by an English translation.  Upon receipt of such certificates, the
Company will issue Customer a billing credit for the amounts represented
thereby.

 

(d)                                 If Customer disputes the application of any
Taxes, Customer shall give the Company written notice of the dispute within six
(6) months of the receipt of an invoice.  Otherwise, such application of Taxes,
as between the Company and Customer, shall be deemed correct and binding on
Customer.

 

(e)                                  The Company shall provide Customer with
reasonable assistance, at Customer’s reasonable expense), if Customer disputes
the imposition or accuracy of any Taxes directly with a governmental entity.

 

(f)                                    Charges for services under this Agreement
that provide Customer, in whole or in part,  with network access services will
be Taxed in whole as such.  The Taxes shall be applied to these services in
accordance with the Company’s standard Tax rates and applicability for network
access services and shall be applied similarly to those applied to similarly
situated customers of such services. Unless required by law  to do otherwise,
the Company shall determine the Tax rates and applicability based on the
location where such network access services are provided.  Such determinations
are made automatically by the original billing system utilized for such
services, in accordance with the Company’s standard Tax applicability for such
services.

 

Unless the Company’s original billing system for the network access services
provided Customer under this Agreement is also utilized for final invoicing to
Customer, the Company shall manually prepare the final Customer invoice so that
the rates agreed to herein, and the associated Taxes, are properly reflected. 
To do this, the Company shall take the amount for the charges that are processed
through the original billing system and adjust them to the amount due under this
Agreement.  The applicable Taxes applied through the original billing system
shall likewise be adjusted in proportion to the adjustment for the charges.

 

If any charge for the network access service does not flow through the original
billing system, the Taxing engine utilized by the original billing system will
be separately queried to calculate the appropriate Taxes due on such charge.

 

Charges under this Agreement to provide Customer, in whole or in part, with the
use of Customer Premise or other equipment will be Taxed in whole as such.  The
Taxes shall be applied in accordance with the Company’s standard Tax rates and
applicability for such Customer Premise or other equipment and shall be applied
similarly to those applied to similarly situated customers. Unless required by
law to do otherwise, the Company shall determine the Tax rates and applicability
based on the location of the equipment. Such determinations are made
automatically by the original billing system utilized for such equipment, in
accordance with the Company’s standard Tax applicability for such charges.

 

Unless the Company’s original billing system for the Customer Premise or other
equipment provided Customer under this Agreement is also utilized for final
invoicing to Customer, the Company shall manually prepare the final Customer
invoice so that the rates agreed to herein, and the associated Taxes, are
properly reflected.  To do this, the Company shall take the amount for the
charges that are processed through the original billing system and adjust them
to the amount due under this Agreement.  The applicable Taxes applied through
the original billing system shall likewise be adjusted in proportion to the
adjustment for the charges.    If any charge for the Customer Premise or other
equipment does not flow through the original billing system, the Taxing engine
utilized by the applicable original billing system will be separately queried to
calculate the appropriate Taxes due on such charge.

 

Taxes shall be separately stated on the invoice.  Solely for purposes of invoice
display, various Taxes may be summarized and/or combined with other Taxes on one
or more Tax lines on the invoice.

 

(g)                                 The Company shall indemnify and hold
Customer harmless from any penalty and interest imposed on Customer for the
underpayment, to the extent not due to the fault of Customer, of any Taxes that
were paid to the Company by Customer.

provided for in the applicable product description contained in a Schedule, the

Customer’s representative in procuring, on Customer’s behalf and at no
additional cost to Customer for so procuring, the domestic and international
access/egress services from suppliers.

to the contrary, the Company may adjust its rates or charges, or impose
additional rates and charges, in order to recover amounts it is required or

this Agreement, including, without limitation, Universal Service Fund charges,
Carrier Access Charges, and payphone use charges, or any successor of any such

receiving third party of the received Confidential Information in conformity
with the requirements of this Agreement and for the breach by any such receiving
party of such requirements. For purposes of this Section 10, disclosure by a
party of Confidential Information to the Affiliate of the other party to this
Agreement or to a third party authorized by the other party to receive such
Confidential Information shall be deemed to be a disclosure to the other party
to this Agreement.  In the event that either party to this Agreement becomes
aware of any unpermitted third party disclosure of Confidential Information
hereunder, such party shall promptly notify the other party of such disclosure.

 

10.1                           The foregoing restrictions on use and disclosure
of Confidential Information do not apply to information that:  (i) was in
Recipient’s possession free of any obligation of confidence at the time of
Discloser’s communication thereof to Recipient; (ii) is, or becomes publicly
known, through no wrongful act or omission of Recipient;  (iii) is rightfully
obtained by Recipient from third parties authorized to make such disclosure
without restriction; (iv) is developed independently by Recipient independently
of and without reference to the Confidential Information or other information
that Discloser disclosed in confidence to any third party; or (v) is identified
by Discloser as no longer proprietary or confidential.

 

10.2                           In the event Recipient is required by law,
regulation, order of a court or governmental body or agency, or the rules of a
securities exchange to disclose any of Discloser’s Confidential Information,
Recipient will promptly notify Discloser in writing prior to making any such
disclosure in order to facilitate Discloser seeking a protective order or other
appropriate remedy from the proper authority.  Recipient agrees to cooperate
with Discloser in seeking such order or other remedy, and to exercise reasonable
efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be
accorded the Confidential Information. If such assurances are not received, the
parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts  to reach agreement as to
the extent of any required disclosures, however, notwithstanding such lack of
agreement,  Recipient shall not be precluded from making any such required
disclosures, nor will Discloser be precluded from continuing to seek said
protective order or other appropriate remedy from the proper authority.

 

10.3                           All Confidential Information disclosed under this
Agreement shall be and remain the property of Discloser.  All such information
shall be returned to Discloser, promptly upon the earlier of: (i) the written
request of the Discloser, or (ii) termination or expiration of this Agreement,
and shall not thereafter be retained in any form by Recipient.

 

10.4                           The parties acknowledge that their respective
Confidential Information is unique and valuable, and that breach by either party
of the obligations of this Agreement regarding such Confidential Information
will result in irreparable injury to the affected party for which monetary
damages alone would not be an adequate remedy.  Therefore, the parties agree
that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of such provisions, the
affected party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other
equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or anticipated breach without
the necessity of posting a bond.  Any such relief shall be in addition to and
not in lieu of any appropriate relief in the way of monetary damages.

(iii) any and all credits received by Customer hereunder (unless otherwise
specified and exclusive of the Interstate Service Credits, if any, and foreign
tax credits provided pursuant to Section 9.1(c), if any), in full, without
setoff or deduction; plus (iv) the aggregate termination charges, payable to any
third party suppliers or overseas access providers, if any, for which the

SCHEDULE FOUR

 

NON-US SERVICES

 

1.                                       Non-US Service(s). The term “Non-US
Service(s)” means only those services and associated equipment described in this
Schedule provided to Customer by MCI WORLDCOM International, Inc., MFS
International, Inc. or such other MCI Affiliate as may be applicable. Non-US
Services are not offered pursuant to Company’s Guide but shall be provided in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, except as
otherwise provided herein, the Guide as such Guide applies to the corresponding
Regulated Non-Tariffed Service, if any, to the extent permissible and not
superseded by applicable local laws and regulations (including Foreign Tariffs
as defined below) in those countries where the service originates and
terminates. Solely for purposes of interpreting and applying the terms and
conditions of the Guide to the Non-US Service, the originating country of Non-US
Service calls will be treated as if it were the United States.  The Attachments
to Schedule Four, attached hereto and incorporated by reference, contain
additional rates, discounts and certain other provisions applicable to the
Non-US Services provided to Customer hereunder.  Company may provide certain
Non-US Services to the Customer pursuant to tariffs filed by Company in the
local jurisdiction where the Non-US Service is provided (a “Foreign Tariff” and
collectively, “Foreign Tariffs”). Company may modify its Foreign Tariffs from
time to time in accordance with law and thereby affect the service furnished to
Customer. This Schedule Four incorporates by reference the terms of each such
Foreign Tariff, if any. In the event of a conflict between the terms and
conditions of the Guide, the Foreign Tariffs, this Schedule Four and the
Attachments, the order of precedence shall be: Foreign Tariffs, the Attachments,
this Schedule Four and then the Guide, as applicable.

ATTACHMENT 4-1

 

NON-US INTERNATIONAL FRAME RELAY SERVICE

(Service Options 1 and 2)

 

I.                 NON-US INTERNATIONAL FRAME RELAY SERVICE

 

A.           DESCRIPTION:  WorldCom’s International Frame Relay Service (non-US
originating, Service Options 1 and 2) (“Non-US International Frame Relay
Service”) is a connection-oriented, packet data service originating outside the
United States.  The protocol to support this service has been defined in
standards provided by ANSI and ITU (formerly CCITT) standards bodies.

 

B.             PRODUCT PROVISION:  Non-US International Frame Relay Service is
WorldCom Frame Relay Service which originates outside the United States.   For
purposes of applying Schedule Four’s Section 1 to the Non-US International Frame
Relay Service, the corresponding service is regulated WorldCom Frame Relay
Service. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rates and discounts in
Company’s standard price lists are subject to change at the discretion of
Company.

 

C.             PRODUCT COMPONENTS:  Connectivity into the Non-US International
Frame Relay Service network for a given location begins with the definition of a
network node. A network node has three components: (1) Local Access, (2) Port
Connection, and (3) Logical Connections.

 

1.               Local Access.  The standard options to access the Non-US
International Frame Relay Service are Dedicated Access and Dial-Up Access. 
Dedicated Access is the most common access to Non-US International Frame Relay
Service. To obtain a dedicated local loop, customers can (1) order the local
loop directly from their local access provider (LEC or other access provider);
or (2) Company will order it for them. If the customer is on the Company
metropolitan network, local access is provided as part of the end-to-end
service.

 

2.               Port Connection.  The port connection provides high-speed
access onto the Non-US International Frame Relay Service network. The capacity
of the port connection is dynamically allocated over the associated PVCs to meet
real-time changes in bandwidth requirements. The port connection speed defines
the maximum throughput that may ingress and/or egress the port at any point in
time.

 

3.               Logical Connection.  PVCs provide logical connectivity between
port connections.   Unlike the static capacity allocation of a private line, the
combination of the port connection and its PVCs allows real-time, dynamic
capacity allocation. PVCs will automatically reroute around frame relay (wide
area) network failures. PVC capacity is defined by the Committed Information
Rate (CIR).

 

D.            CIRCUIT TERM COMMITMENT:  No circuit term commitment applies to
this Customer.

 

E.              RATES AND CHARGES:  Customer will pay Company’s then-current
standard  rates and charges for Non-US International Frame Relay Service,
including both monthly recurring charges and one-time non-recurring installation
charges per location.   Recurring Port and PVC charges are subject to discount
as described below.

 

1.               Access. Except as Customer may separately be informed, (i)
within Company’s Standard Service Area (SSA), access charges will be assessed
according to Company’s then-current standard list rates, as modified from time
to time, for access types 1, and (ii) outside of the SSA, access charges will be
fixed for the contract term at the PTT access rate in effect at the time of
order; local currency will be converted to US Dollars (US$) at the exchange rate
in effect at time of order.

 

2.               Discounts for Non-US International Frame Relay Service (Service
Options 1 and 2 ). For international Frame Relay Service (Option 1 and 2)
originating and terminating outside the United States, Customer will receive a
fixed ****.  The discount will be applied to Customer’s recurring port and PVC
charges only (i.e., excluding charges for any non-Regulated service elements,
access charges, access coordination charges, network management charges, CPE,
and taxes and tax-related surcharges).

International Frame Relay Service will be as agreed by the parties via service
orders or other written orders.

multipoint service allowing the furnishing of long distance telecommunications
service between a single calling station and two or more called stations, when
at least one of the called stations is located in a different area numbering

terminates the call. If a computed charge includes a fraction of an United
Kingdom pence, the fraction is rounded up to the nearest whole United Kingdom
pence. All per minute charges will be rounded up to the next full minute.

 

A conference call is initiated by making a reservation of a date and time for

SCHEDULE SIX

 

Usage Associated With Facilities Construction

 

Customer desires that Company construct, configure or install necessary
equipment and/or facilities from   Company’s network to Customer’s premises
(“Facilities”) to provide Services under this Schedule Six (“Services” for
purposes of this Schedule) to certain site(s) operated by Customer as set forth
in Attachment 6-1 (the “Location(s)”).    Company requires Customer’s commitment
to generate a certain minimum amount of usage at the Location(s)  in order to
justify the capital expenditure necessary to construct, configure or install the
Facilities.

 

1.   SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The term of this Schedule shall begin on the
First Amendment Effective Date and shall continue until expiration of the last
of the Location Term commitments as defined in Attachment 6-1 (the
“Schedule Term”).

 

2.  FACILITIES:  Customer understands and agrees that the Facilities are and
shall remain the sole property of   Company and nothing herein shall be
construed to convey to Customer any rights or privileges to the Facilities
either directly or indirectly through Customer’s commitment.  Customer shall
conduct its business relative to these Facilities consistent with Company’s sole
ownership of these Facilities.  Customer understands and agrees that
construction of the Facilities is dependent upon (i) obtaining all necessary
rights, permits, licenses, easements, and rights of way at the Locations,
including adequate space, power and environmental clearances; and (ii) securing
the right for Company to install, operate and maintain its equipment at the
Location(s).  Customer may be requested to sign a collocation agreement with
Company for each Location in a form and substance satisfactory to Customer and  
Company.

 

3.  LOCATION SPECIFIC SUBMINIMUMS:

 

a.  At each Location, in addition to any volume commitments set forth in the
Agreement, commencing on the Location Term, Customer guarantees the minimum
Usage Charges (for each Location, a “Location Subminimum”) and the Location Term
commitments for the Services as set forth in Attachment 6-1.  For purposes
hereof, the Location Term for each location shall commence on the date on which
the Location is “Lit” and ready to utilize the Services.  A “Lit” building is
defined as a facility where Company fiber is demarcated.  If the Term of the
Agreement expires before the expiration of the Location Term commitments set
forth for all Location(s) under this Schedule, the terms and conditions of the
Agreement (including applicable rates and charges for Services at each Location)
shall continue to control and apply to this Schedule until the end of the
Schedule Term.

 

b.  Company does not guarantee that any specific Location build-out will be
completed, or will be completed within a certain time period.  Company reserves
the right to: (i) delay or discontinue the build-out of any Location, (ii)
decline to provide Service in one or more Locations and (iii) terminate
Customer’s use of Service at one or more Locations. The exercise of any such
right shall be in Company’s sole discretion and without liability to Customer.
In such event, and as Customer’s sole remedy, Customer’s Location Subminimum for
such Location will not apply, and Customer will not be responsible for the
Location Subminimum underutilization charges for such Location until the first
full Monthly Period following the completion of the build-out.

 

c. If, in any Monthly Period, Customer’s Usage Charges for Services at a
Location are less than the applicable Location Subminimum, then Customer will
pay an underutilization charge equal to the difference between the Location
Subminimum and Customer’s Usage Charges at the Location during such Monthly
Period. Customer agrees that these charges are reasonable.

Subscribers beyond the access permitted by that entity.

 

14 Canadian and other Non-US Subscribers. For Service to member firms in Canada,
Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico Customer shall pay the applicable rates as   set
forth in  Section 16 of this Schedule Nine plus an additional fee for access to
the network based on standard or GSA rates (“Network Access Rate”).   In
addition to the Network Access Rate, Company will pass through to Customer, and
Customer shall be responsible for, any charges (including, without limitation,
installation charges), fees, taxes and terms and conditions of service imposed
by local access/egress service suppliers (e.g., Bell Canada) in relation to the
provision of Services, including, but not limited to, rate fluctuations in
tariffs, communications charges and access charges that are imposed or enacted
by the local suppliers from time to time.  Customer shall be responsible for any
gains or losses associated with fluctuations in the exchange rate and/or timing
of payment where access charges are billed in non-U.S. currency and are to be

act as Customer’s representative in procuring, on Customer’s behalf and at no
additional cost to Customer for so procuring, the local access/egress services
from suppliers.

 

15                                    Customer warrants to  Company that during
the term of this Agreement, but in no event beyond  December 31, 2005 (unless
the parties specifically agree otherwise):

 

 (a)  Customer shall obtain all of its SDP-API Services solely and exclusively
from Company. As used herein, “EWN Services” means those network transmission,
network management, network maintenance, network monitoring services, and
customer premises equipment required by Customer for, and associated with
either: (i) the operation of SDP/API but only between, and including, the
switches at each of the Customer data centers and each Subscriber’s premises
(and not including any components or services affecting only the Customer or
Subscriber side of such switches), or (ii) the functionality associated with
SDP’s.    Each party agrees to negotiate in good faith the pricing for any new
or additional SDP-API Services. The provisions of the Section 15(a) do not
survive the completion of performance or the rejection, termination or
expiration of this Agreement.  Customer’s breach of the exclusivity obligations
as set out in this Section 15 (a) which are not cured within 30 days’ written
notice from MCI shall be considered Cause for termination for MCI.

 

(b) Should Customer enable a web application for small users (less than ****),
the establishment and migration of these users will not be subject to the
exclusivity requirement in 15 (a) above.

 

(c)  The Company will not market or sell  Schedule Nine network connectivity to
market makers for purposes of allowing these market makers to satisfy their
attributable quoting (or order entry) through a Customer competitor.  This
includes the support of a market maker’s requirement to maintain during the
trading day a valid two sided quote (or order) in all securities for which they
are a registered market maker.  The quote (or order) attribution occurs because
the market maker’s identity is revealed by assigning the market maker’s MPID
(“Market Participant ID”), to the quote (or order).  In the event that the
Customer notifies the Company that one of the Company’s Subscribers is engaged
in attributable quoting (or order entry) with a market center different than the
Customer’s, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to stop the
Subscriber from engaging in attributable quoting (or order entry) over the
Company network.
