BACKGROUND INFORMATION (FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY)

<PAGE>

1.  THE SERVICES

(a) MetroNet shall perform the Services during the Term such that they are
    accessible by the Customer at the Customer's location(s) specified on the
    opposite side of this form or on any attached schedule(s) (the "Service
    Sites"). MetroNet reserves the right to perform the Services on its own
    network, when available, without notice to the Customer.

(b) MetroNet may install such wiring, cable, circuits, instruments, equipment
    and other plant (collectively, as pertains to a Service Site) as are
    necessary to connect each of the sites to MetroNet's telecommunications
    network and to permit performance of the Services.

(c) MetroNet shall begin performing the Services upon installation, or so soon
    thereafter as reasonably agreed to between the parties, and continue the
    performance during the term, unless Services are earlier terminated in
    accordance with this Services Agreement.

(d) MetroNet may provide the Customer with such equipment (the "Equipment") to
    provide the Customer access to the Services at the Service Sites. The
    Equipment shall be supplied and installed by MetroNet up to the Customer
    Demarcation Point, as defined by MetroNet. The Equipment shall be maintained
    and repaired only by MetroNet or MetroNet's authorized agents. MetroNet may
    provide additional services and/or equipment beyond the Customer Demarcation
    Point for Fee(s), in addition to the Install Fee(s) and Monthly Fee(s),
    specified on the opposite side of this form or on any attached schedule(s).

(e) The Customer acknowledges that, MetroNet is the sole and exclusive owner of
    all right, title and interest in the Equipment, or has obtained the right to
    make the Equipment available for use by the Customer from a third party. The
    Equipment will at all times remain the property of MetroNet or such third
    party, as the case may be, regardless of the manner in which it is installed
    in or attached at the Service Sites. The Customer may not mortgage, sell,
    transfer, lease, encumber or assign all or part of the Equipment to any
    third party. The Customer shall be responsible for any loss, cost, claim or
    damage caused to or by the Equipment from any cause whatsoever including,
    without limitation, a mysterious disappearance or theft, or in connection
    with its installation, removal, use, maintenance or repair, unless such loss
    or damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of MetroNet.

2.  MAINTENANCE, TESTING AND CONFIGURATION OF THE SERVICES

(a) MetroNet may, without penalty (and specifically without the penalty set out
    in Section 6 below), suspend the provision of the Services to the Customer,
    for a reasonable length of time, in order to maintain, test or configure the
    Services.

(b) The Customer shall bear the expense of any repair or replacement or
    maintenance service to the Equipment which is not due to reasonable wear and
    tear or negligence of MetroNet and MetroNet reserves the right to change for
    unnecessary service calls requested by the Customer. The Customer shall,
    promptly upon the receipt of the MetroNet invoice therefore, pay any related
    labour charges, at the then current hourly rates for service calls, any
    related repair charges which MetroNet pays to third parties in connection
    therewith, the cost of any parts, equipment or other required plant work and
    all other related expenses.

(c) MetroNet's Customer Care Center shall be the sole contact for reporting
    trouble with respect to the Services. The telephone number is 1-888-8METNET
    or 1-888-863-8638 or such other number as may be communicated by MetroNet to
    the Customer. On receipt of a trouble report, MetroNet shall initiate
    maintenance action. Following correction of the trouble, MetroNet shall
    complete the trouble ticket and inform the Customer that Service has been
    restored.

              them to be used for a purpose or in a manner for which they were

       (ii)   The Customer shall not resell, or share the Services where such
              re-sale or sharing would cause MetroNet to violate the terms of
              its interconnection arrangements with other carriers.

       (iii)  Unless otherwise specified in a schedule to this Agreement, the
              Customer shall not permit third parties (which term shall be

    whether or not MetroNet has been advised of the possibility of such damages
    arising from or being connected to the Service or the installation,
    operation or maintenance of the Equipment. Other than liability for the
    foregoing, MetroNet shall not be liable for any loss, cost, claim or damage
    (including the loss of the Customer's data) suffered or incurred by the
    Customer or any third party. In the event any such claim is made against

    parties, the Customer shall indemnify MetroNet.

(b) In no event shall MetroNet be liable for the use of the Equipment and

(c) METRONET MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR GUARANTEES AS
    TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSES OR ANY OTHER
    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR GUARANTEES REGARDING THE SERVICES
    OR THE EQUIPMENT, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED IN LAW OR IN FACT, OR IN
    WRITING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE CUSTOMER
    ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS NOT RELIED UPON ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY,
    CONDITION OR GUARANTEE MADE BY METRONET.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Services Agreement to the
    contrary, in no event will the aggregate liability of MetroNet, its
    affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or
    subcontractors to the Customer or to any other party for damages, direct or
    otherwise, arising out of or in connection with this Services Agreement
    exceed the fees payable hereunder by the Customer within the period of
    twelve (12) months immediately preceding the occurrence of such breach or
    tort or such shorter period as may have elapsed between commencement of the
    term of this Services Agreement and such occurrence regardless of the cause
    or form of action, whether claims are grounded in contract, tort (including
    negligence) or strict liability.

5.  FEE(S)

(a) The Fee(s) specified on the opposite side of this form, including any
    security deposit, shall be paid by the Customer to MetroNet in accordance
    with Section 5(b) herein in full without any right of set-off or deduction.
    The Customer shall pay MetroNet any applicable sales, use, goods and
    services, value added or similar taxes, payable with respect to the Fee(s),
    or otherwise arising with respect to this Services Agreement.

(b) MetroNet will invoice the Customer for the Install Fee(s) (and any
    applicable taxes) following installation. MetroNet will invoice the Customer
    the Monthly Fee(s) (and any applicable taxes) on a monthly basis. The
    Customer shall pay to MetroNet all invoices by the payment due date printed
    on the invoice. A late payment charge of 1.0% per month may be applied to
    any invoice for which payment has not been received by MetroNet by the
    payment due date printed on the invoice. In the event that a particular
    Service is commenced on a day other than the first day of a calendar month
    or

<PAGE>

    terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Monthly
    Fee(s) for said Service for such calendar month shall be pro-rated based on
    a thirty (30) day month.

(c) Where payments have been made for charges that should not have been billed,
    or that were overbilled, the Customer will be credited with the overpayment
    back to the date of the error up to a maximum of one year from the date the
    error was identified. However, if the Customer does not dispute the charge
    within one year of the date of a statement that shows the charges correctly,
    the right to have the excess credited for the period prior to such statement
    is lost.

(d) Unless there has been deception by a Customer with regard to a charge,
    Customers are not responsible for paying a previously unbilled or
    underbilled charge except where it is correctly billed within a period of
    one year from the date it was incurred. If there has been deception by a
    Customer, MetroNet is entitled to charge the Customer interest on the amount
    of the correction of the rate specified in section 5(b) hereof.

(e) MetroNet shall have the right to increase its charges upon thirty (30) days
    prior written notice due to increases in the rates by carriers whose
    services are used by MetroNet in providing the Services. The new rates will
    be applied to the Customer regardless of the contract term for the Service.
    In the event that MetroNet imposes new rates, the Customer may, at its
    option, indicate its intention to terminate the applicable Service without
    penalty by written notice to MetroNet within fifteen (15) days of the date
    MetroNet gives notice of the price increase. MetroNet may, by written notice
    to the customer on or prior to the effective date of the price increase,
    rescind the price increase, in which case the Customer shall not be entitled
    to terminate the applicable Service.

6.  REBATES IN THE EVENT OF SERVICE INTERRUPTION

When a Service Interruption occurs for a period of at least six (6) hours in any
twenty-four (24) hour period after MetroNet's receipt of written notice from the
Customer, the Customer shall be credited with an allowance equal to one-quarter
(1/4) of the Monthly Fee(s) for that particular month applicable to the Service
which is rendered useless or substantially impaired, per day of the Service
Interruption.  "Service Interruption" means a failure by MetroNet to provide the
Services (or a particular Service) substantially in accordance with service
specifications (set by MetroNet from time to time) for reasons other than:

(a) capacity shortages  not caused by MetroNet;

(b) the failure or non-performance of any service, equipment or facilities
    provided by the customer, a interexchange carrier or any other third party;

(c) any act or omission by the Customer including, without limitation,
    interruptions required to correct interference to a Service caused by the
    Customer's equipment connected to or used in conjunction with the Service;

(d) any unlawful, illegal or improper use of the Equipment or any Service;

(e) any period during which MetroNet interrupts the performance of the Services
    in order to perform tests, maintenance or adjustments to the Equipment;

(f) the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure; (see Section 11, below);

(g) interruptions due to power fluctuations or power failure at the Service
    Sites;

(h) when access can not be readily and immediately gained to the Service Sites;

(i) durations when tests, maintenance, and adjustments are delayed at the
    request of the Customer; or

(j) interruptions due to actions or omissions of the Customer, its officers,
    employees, agents, contractors, landlords or invitees.

7.  TERMINATION

(a) This Services Agreement hall become effective on the date upon which the
    Services Agreement is executed by MetroNet, and shall continue in full force
    and effect until either:

       i)   the term of the contract has expired when specified on the front of
            this Services Agreement; or

       ii)  The Services Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7 of
            this Services Agreement.

<PAGE>

(b) MetroNet may terminate any Service or this Services Agreement, or MetroNet's
    option, immediately, without further obligation to the Customer in the event
    of:

       i)   any failure by the Customer to pay any Fee(s);

       ii)  any other breach of this Services Agreement or MetroNet's acceptable
            use policies by the Customer which cannot be cured or is not cured
            within thirty (30) days of MetroNet notifying the Customer of such
            breach;
