 This Network Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into on January 1, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) by and
between America Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 22000 AOL Way, Dulles, Virginia 20166 (“AOL”) and MCI WORLDCOM Network Services, Inc., with offices at 22001 Loudoun County Parkway, Ashburn Virginia 20147

2003. AOL shall incur no liability in connection with the termination of the Existing Network Agreements; provided, however, that AOL will be liable to pay for the Services rendered through December 31, 2003 subject to the terms of the Existing

Credit”) on each Quarterly Invoice. [****] 

  

	2.	Scope of Services. 

  

	 	2.1.	MCI shall, in accordance with this Agreement, provide AOL with Dial-Up Access to the MCI Dial Access Network within the fifty United States and [****] (collectively referred to
hereinafter as the “United States”). Within the United States, MCI agrees to provide the Services in the Initial Service Areas set forth on Exhibit C; provided that on a quarterly basis MCI shall provide an updated list of
Initial Services Areas in the format of Exhibit C. AOL may also request Services in Extended Service Areas. In addition, MCI agrees to deliver Services in Unique Service Areas pursuant to Section 4.5. [****] 

  

	 	2.2.	AOL is responsible for all end-user customer support, billing and collections. MCI’s relationship under this Agreement is solely with AOL and not with any of AOL’s
end-users. 

  

	 	2.3.	 MCI agrees to provide all Services, including but not limited to Dial-Up Access Port usage, 

  

  

					
	Network Services Agreement	  	1	  	AOL/MCI Confidential

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	 
to AOL, its partners and Affiliates (or other designees); provided, however, that (i) services provided to designees pursuant to this Agreement shall be
deemed to be Services provided to AOL, (ii) AOL shall remain the single point-of-contact with MCI, and (iii) AOL shall remain obligated to perform and comply with all obligations under the Agreement including, but not limited to, payment
obligations with respect to any services provided by MCI to such designees pursuant to this Agreement. MCI further agrees that the Services will be provided in compliance with the terms set forth herein including the Technical Specifications and
Operational Requirements and Service Levels set forth in Exhibits A and B, respectively.

	 	2.5.	In addition to the Services, MCI shall also provide Toll-Free Port services (as set forth in Section 4.3). The parties agree to discuss the provision of co-location services by

	 	3.1.	Subject to MCI’s material compliance with this Agreement as set forth in Section 3.3, AOL will purchase the Services from MCI as follows:

	 	(ii)	From January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, AOL will purchase from MCI a minimum annual aggregate of [****] of the Total AOL Dial-up Service Hours (the “2005

market share commitment. 

  

	 	(iii)	From January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, AOL will purchase from MCI a minimum of [****] of Total AOL Dial-up Service Hours (the “2006 Market Share

commitment. 

  

	 	3.2.	[****], as defined in Section 4.3, and [****] usage shall not contribute toward the Purchase Commitments.

	Network Services Agreement	  	2	  	AOL/MCI Confidential

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	 
not satisfy the Purchase Commitment for the applicable Measurement Period, then MCI may invoice AOL for an additional fee in an amount equal to [****] of the
difference between the aggregate invoiced amounts and the Purchase Commitment for that year (“Take or Pay Remedy”). MCI shall provide AOL with an invoice for this Take or Pay Remedy within [****] days of the end of each calendar
year, and AOL shall pay the full amount, [****], within [****] days of receipt of such invoice. The parties agree that this Take or Pay Remedy shall be [****]. 

  

	 	3.4.	Any purchase by AOL of Dial-Up Access Services in the United States from MCI, or any Affiliate of MCI (as well as purchases from any entity that (i) becomes an Affiliate of MCI
after execution of the Agreement and that (ii) are made after such entity becomes an Affiliate of MCI) shall [****], except that purchases pursuant to a separate agreement between AOL and MCI, or any Affiliate of MCI, for dial-up access
services in the United States shall [****]; provided, however, that the purchases of dial-up access hours in the United States in accordance with the CSI Agreement (as defined in Section 13) [****] towards AOL’s satisfaction of the

	6.	Network Performance. The network shall perform in accordance with the service performance levels (“SLAs”) as set forth in Exhibit B.

  

	7.	Architecture, Technology and Vendors 

  

	 	7.1.	AOL acknowledges that in the event that MCI determines that another carrier’s offerings represent a superior value, or other factors which may make another carrier’s
offerings preferable, MCI may utilize a carrier other than its current carrier for the network or any portion thereof. MCI acknowledges that AOL’s goal is to achieve architectural independence among its service providers to minimize the
possibility that a single failure could impact more than one AOL service provider. [****]. MCI shall design and engineer the MCI Dial Access Network to obtain redundancy and resiliency, and to eliminate single points of failure in such network that
may result in a failure of or severe degradation to the MCI Dial Access Network; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge that after the Effective Date remote and localized failures may occur as a result of a single point of failure. For any
such instance, MCI will (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to identify such single point of failure, (b) promptly notify AOL of such failure, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such single point of failure
after identification. 

  

	 	7.2.	AOL shall retain control of how the users connect to the network and how the network connects to AOL. MCI shall control the design and use of the network backbone and the backhaul
circuits from the virtual points of presence (“PoPs”) to the physical PoPs. MCI shall determine the location of actual Dial-Up Access Port installation, and MCI shall also identify the number and location of spare Dial-Up Access
Ports necessary to ensure compliance with the SLAs set forth in Exhibit B. MCI shall apply all reasonable efforts to minimize the installation lead time and shall not be held responsible for delays outside the control of MCI as excused under
Section 23.3. 

  

	8.	Forecasting; Capacity Guarantee. 

  

	 	8.1.	 AOL and MCI shall meet quarterly to discuss respective plans for rate center coverage 

  

  

					
	Network Services Agreement	  	6	  	AOL/MCI Confidential

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	 
and traffic projections. During such quarterly meeting, AOL shall submit to MCI a capacity hours forecast (“AOL Forecast”) in which AOL will
project, by rate center, anticipated changes in monthly demand for the subsequent quarter. AOL must provide the AOL Forecast at least [****] days prior to the forecasted quarter in order to be considered valid; provided, however, the initial AOL
Forecast for the first calendar quarter in 2004 shall only provide the capacity forecast for such calendar quarter. The AOL Forecast for the second calendar quarter of 2004 shall be provided to MCI no later than February 15, 2004. If actual
monthly hours in a rate center are more than [****] above the AOL Forecast in a particular rate center, (i) MCI shall provide AOL with notice that the AOL Forecast has been exceeded by more than [****]; (ii) for the month in which the AOL
Forecast has been exceeded by more than [****] (set forth in Exhibit B) and associated credits shall not apply in those affected rate centers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MCI shall not be relieved of its obligation to augment capacity in a
rate center subject to AOL’s requirements (as set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement). 

  

	 	8.2.	MCI shall guarantee capacity availability up to [****] of the AOL Forecast in each of the Initial Service Areas (“Capacity Commitment”). [****]. For the avoidance
of doubt, AOL shall not be restricted in its allocation of capacity/hours across the Service Areas. 

  

	 	(i)	[****] 

  

	 	(ii)	[****] 

  

	 	(iii)	[****] 

  

	 	(iv)	Rate centers in [****] and the states of [****] and [****] shall be excluded from the obligations contained in this Section 8.2. 

  

	 	8.3.	MCI shall, [****] prior to the expiration of the then-current Term, deliver to AOL a network plan that details those rate centers, if any, in which MCI will not provision following
such expiration. 

  

	9.	Audits and Facilities. 

  

  

					
	Network Services Agreement	  	7	  	AOL/MCI Confidential

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	9.1.	Audits. 

  

	 	(i)	Each party reserves the right to reasonably audit the other party’s relevant books and records [****] as necessary to verify the audited party’s compliance with the terms
of this Agreement and to enforce the auditing party’s rights under this Agreement. Audits shall be performed by an independent certified public accounting firm (the auditor performing an audit pursuant to this Section the
“Auditor”), as follows: (a) following at least [****] prior written notice to the audited party; (b) at the auditing party’s sole cost and expense; (c) in a reasonable scope and duration; (d) in a manner so
as not to unreasonably interfere with the audited party’s business operations; and (e) in compliance with the audited party’s reasonable security requirements. Unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, the number of audits that
each party may conduct shall not exceed [****] per calendar year. 

  

	 	(ii)	Materials of the audited party reviewed in the course of an audit shall be deemed confidential information pursuant to Section 14 and their use by the Auditor shall be limited
to the conduct of the audit. Except to the extent necessary to demonstrate the audited party’s compliance or non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement, any resulting report shall not contain any confidential information of any third
party. Such Auditor shall, prior to conducting such audit, execute a nondisclosure agreement acceptable to the audited party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) containing the substantive provisions
substantially similar to those set forth in this Section and in Sections 14 and 23.2 of this Agreement. Any report or other information produced or reviewed by the Auditor shall not be distributed within the auditing party except to such persons
with a need to know. The foregoing report and information shall be made available to the audited party on request. 

  

	 	(iii)	Each party shall maintain complete and accurate records and shall retain such records for a period not less than the term of this Agreement or such other longer period as may be
required pending resolution of any disputes among the parties or by applicable law, rule, or regulation. 

  

	10.	Term and Termination. 

  

	 	10.1. 	Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2004 and continue until December 31, 2006 (“Initial Term”). AOL may elect to extend

	 	10.2. 	Termination. 

  

	 	(i)	 MCI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without liability to AOL upon written notice to AOL in the event of (a) a material breach by AOL, if such
breach is not cured within [****] calendar days after written notice by MCI to AOL of such breach, or (b) repeated material breaches of this Agreement of a similar nature, or a prolonged material breach of this Agreement, by AOL, even if cured,
of which MCI provided AOL reasonable written notice of each, and which would justify a reasonable person, acting in good faith and considering relevant

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	 
industry standards, to terminate this Agreement. 

  

	 	(ii)	AOL shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without liability upon written notice to MCI in the event of (a) a material breach by MCI, if such breach is not cured
within [****] calendar days after written notice by AOL to MCI of such breach, or (b) repeated material breaches of this Agreement of a similar nature, or a prolonged material breach of this Agreement, by MCI, even if cured, of which AOL
provided MCI reasonable written notice of each, and which would justify a reasonable person, acting in good faith and considering relevant industry standards, to terminate this Agreement. 

  

	 	(iii)	[****] 

  

	 	(iv)	If either party makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or receivership or any petition or answer seeking, consenting

other party may (i) terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, with no liability or further duties or obligations hereunder; and/or (ii) pursue any and all legal remedies under applicable law or principles of equity, including an
action for damages, specific performance and/or injunctive relief. 

  

	 	(v)	Force Majeure. In the event a Force Majeure Event (as set forth in Section 23.3) substantially impacts [****] of the Service for a period of [****] days or longer, [****] may

	 	10.3. 	Termination/Expiration Assistance. 

  

	 	(i)	 Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, AOL may cancel the Services and MCI will (i) provide reasonable assistance and consultation to ensure a
smooth and timely transition of AOL’s Services to AOL or AOL’s designee (i.e., another vendor), and (ii) continue to provide the Services at prices then in effect (such period the “Migration Period”). During the
Migration Period, the parties shall ensure the complete migration of the Services provided hereunder (including Toll-Free Port services and Colocation services, if any) to AOL or to other services or networks of another provider or providers. Except
as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties, MCI shall continue to provide the services during the Migration Period to AOL at prices then in effect as of the date of expiration or termination of the Agreement, and shall otherwise perform all of

	 	(ii)	In the event of any termination or expiration, MCI will make commercially reasonable efforts to transfer, to AOL or its designee, ownership of the telephone numbers in the network
corresponding to the affected services. If for any reason the services provided for under this Agreement have not been completely migrated by the end of the applicable Migration Period, at any time thereafter MCI may immediately terminate any or all
remaining services, and/or AOL may require MCI to immediately terminate the provision of any or all remaining services and, as set forth in Section 20.1, MCI will transfer ownership of telephone numbers, without limiting any rights or remedies
the parties may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
