Term

The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for
as long as EarthLink provides any Services to you hereunder. The term for any
Services shall automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at your current
rate following your expiration, unless you notify EarthLink in writing at least
thirty (30) days in advance of your intent to cancel.

Termination. Service may be terminated by you or EarthLink for any reason
effective at the end of a calendar month by providing written notice to the
other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the requested termination date.
EarthLink may terminate your account immediately if it determines, in its sole
discretion, that you have violated any of the provisions of the Agreement. If
you fail to make any payment to EarthLink for thirty (30) days or more,
EarthLink may terminate this Agreement and/or disable the Service. To re-enable
Service, EarthLink will require a reconnection fee. Termination does not affect
your obligations under this Agreement, including your obligation to pay all fees
for Services rendered prior to termination and any penalties incurred by such
termination. If your account includes space on EarthLink's server, anything
stored on this space will be deleted upon inactivation. In the event that you
terminate the Services prior to the expiration of your chosen term, EarthLink
will charge an early termination penalty as follows: 1 year term = 1 month
service fee penalty.

To cancel your account, you must contact EarthLink's Customer Service department
at 1-888-698-4357. All EarthLink accounts must be paid in full before a
cancellation will be considered complete. In the event you upgrade your SDSL
Service, you will be required to sign a new Order Package and begin a new term
for the replacing service. There is no penalty for early termination if you
upgrade your Service.

1.0  Services

      1.1  This Agreement establishes the terms and conditions for Dedicated
           Services offered by EarthLink. You may not lease, rent, transfer or
           resell EarthLink Services or any portion of EarthLink Services to any
           other party in any other way. You may not use EarthLink Services to
           compete with EarthLink or promote products or services which compete
           with EarthLink.

      1.2  You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any communications
           equipment necessary to connect to EarthLink services, including
           modems, computer hardware and software, and long distance or local
           telephone service. You are responsible for ensuring that such
           equipment or service is compatible with EarthLink's requirements. In
           addition, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your
           account, password, files, network and user access, and any
           information you disseminate through EarthLink



                                       3
<PAGE>

           services or other Internet services, and for all use of your account
           with or without your knowledge or consent.

      1.3  If EarthLink receives complaints or otherwise becomes aware of
           possible violations of the Agreement, EarthLink may, in its sole
           discretion, initiate an investigation. This investigation may include
           gathering information from and about account holders and examining
           the content of personal electronic communications, Web pages or
           EarthLink Personal Pages on EarthLink's servers. During any
           investigation, EarthLink may suspend services to any Customer being
           investigated. You agree to cooperate with any such investigation.
           Violations of this nature could subject you to criminal or civil
           liability including monetary damages and a $200 handling fee charged
           to your EarthLink account.

      1.4  IP address blocks are assigned by EarthLink for Company use only and
           it is understood that EarthLink will not guarantee routing of any IPs
           of any user other than the Company, even if IP address is part of a
           block assigned to the company by EarthLink. Multi-homing (connection
           to EarthLink and one or more other ISPs simultaneously) is supported
           via BGP at an additional cost to the Customer. If Company runs out of
           addresses and is assigned a new address block, Company has 30 days to
           renumber and return the initial address block. Large address block
           requests may require written justification for American Registry for
           Internet Numbers. IP addresses are not portable and remain allocated
           to EarthLink. If EarthLink requests the Company renumber address
           space, Company agrees to do so within 30 days of request. If Company
           discontinues service with EarthLink, Company will return all IP
           addresses issued by EarthLink back to EarthLink. In addition,
           EarthLink will have no responsibility or liability for any actions or
           costs incurred by Company in obtaining or reconfiguring its equipment
           with new IP addresses if Service is terminated for any reason.

      1.5  Requests for changes in some services require 60 days prior written
           notice.

2.0   Content and Security

      2.1  EarthLink exercises no control whatsoever over the content of
           information passing through its network or equipment. You agree that
           all claims, disputes or wrongdoing which result from or which are
           related in any way to the content of information passing through
           EarthLink's network or equipment are your sole and exclusive
           responsibility. If the Service includes space on EarthLink's server,
           you take full responsibility for the use of the Services by any
           minors and hereby consent to such minor's use of the Service.

      2.2  Company understands that internetworking communications are not
           secure, and may be subject to interception or loss. Company is
           responsible for its network security. EarthLink will not be liable
           for damages arising out of unauthorized access to Company's network.

      3.1  The Services and any equipment and software provided to you by
           EarthLink are provided AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING
           THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
           PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU AGREE THAT EARTHLINK WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
           ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY

           WHETHER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED
           TO THE AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE EARTHLINK
           SERVICES, EVEN IF EARTHLINK IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
           DAMAGES. EARTHLINK'S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL
           SHALL BE AT EARTHLINK'S OPTION, EITHER RETURN OF THE SERVICE FEES
           PAID FOR THE CURRENT MONTH OF SERVICE AND ANY SET-UP FEES PAID, OR

           (12) months prior to the act or injury that gave rise to the
           liability. However, some jurisdictions may not allow a limitation on
           liability for negligence that causes death or personal injury, and
           EarthLink limits its liability in such jurisdictions only to the
           degree allowed by applicable laws.

      3.2  EarthLink, its employees, agents, suppliers, vendors and distributors
           make no warranty of any kind, either express or implied, regarding

           networks, or that EarthLink Services will be uninterrupted or error
           free. Use of information obtained from or through EarthLink is at
           your own risk. Under no circumstances will EarthLink be liable to you
           or any other person for any loss or damage caused by reliance on data
           or information available from or on EarthLink's services and systems.

      3.3  You agree to defend, indemnify and hold EarthLink harmless from any
           claims, losses and damages, including attorney's fees, resulting from
           your violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or your
           placement or transmission of any materials or content onto
           EarthLink's servers or through its network, or from any and all use
           of your account, with or without your knowledge or consent, or from
           claims related to any action taken by EarthLink as part of its
           investigation of a suspected violation of this Agreement or as a
           result of its conclusion that a violation of this Agreement has
           occurred, or to your use of or inability to use EarthLink Services,
           equipment, bundled software or the Internet.
