described therein.

 

B.            Customer and WorldCom
desire to enter into this Third Amendment for the purpose of further amending
the Agreement.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the
parties agree as follows:

used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the respective meanings

Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:

 

3.             Volume Commitment. Commencing with

Period”), Customer agrees to maintain Usage Charges equal to at
least the amounts shown below in the respective months listed (hereinafter
referred to as the “Minimum Monthly Commitment”):

read in its entirety as follows:

 

 

4.             Underutilization. In the event Customer’s

Amendment, the Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding, and
enforceable obligations of Customer and WorldCom. This Third Amendment,
including the Agreement, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the
applicable WorldCom tariffs and the Guide, is the complete agreement of the
parties and supersedes any prior agreements or representations, whether oral or
written, with respect thereto. In the event of a conflict between the terms of
this Third Amendment and the Agreement, the First Amendment or the Second
Amendment, the terms of this Third Amendment shall govern. This Third Amendment
does not constitute the assumption of the Agreement as that term is used under
applicable bankruptcy law.

 

7.             Section References.  Section titles and references used in this
Third Amendment shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind
whatsoever and are not a part of the agreements among the parties hereto
evidenced hereby.
