         Images' facilities unless otherwise agreed in writing between the
         parties. Reseller shall pay for shipping as part of the purchase price

         or release of a Product in response to any accepted purchase order.
         Reseller's purchase orders or mutually-agreed change orders shall be
         subject to all provisions of this Agreement, whether or not the
         purchase order or change order so states, and any terms or conditions
         of such purchase order or change order which conflict with the terms or
         conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed excluded and of no legal
         effect as between the parties.

4.5      Purchase Commitment. Vital Images shall ship to Reseller during the
         Term of this Agreement such Products as are identified in the purchase
         orders submitted by Reseller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
         event Vital Images has not received purchase orders containing such
         minimum amount of Vitrea2(R) Systems units (or multi-application or

         this Agreement shall continue unmodified through the end of the Term,
         unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article 14
         hereof.

         Quarterly Product purchases above the minimums set forth in the
         Commitment may be applied only to satisfy the next quarterly purchase
         commitment; provided, however, that aggregate purchases for Year 1,
         Year 2 and Year 3 as specified and defined in Exhibit F shall not be
         applied against the following year's purchase commitment, and purchases
         during the fourth (4th) quarter of one year may not be applied against
         the first (1st) quarter of the following year's commitment.

         In the event Vital Images sells a Product directly to a customer and
         not through Reseller, Reseller shall receive credit for such sale in
         the event Reseller introduced the Product to

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         such customer during the marketing of Reseller's products to such
         customer. Reseller shall receive credit for introducing the Product to
         a customer upon proof that:

                  to demonstrate the Product;

         (b)      A quote was provided to the customer including components of
                  the Product and Reseller's products; and

                  Images within 60 days prior to Reseller's quote.

                  whether or not such new release has been announced publicly;
                  or

         (d)      Commence the development and distribution of new software
                  products having features, which may make any Product wholly or
                  partially obsolete, whether or not Reseller is granted any
                  distribution rights in respect of such new products.

         Reseller's minimum purchase commitments will end in the event Vital
         Images discontinues the production of Vitrea(R).

4.7      Installation of Products and Customer Training. Unless otherwise
         specified in a particular purchase order, all deliveries of the
         Products shall be made directly to the customer, and Vital Images shall
         then have the sole responsibility for the installation and integration
         of such Products into a customer's computer system in the Territory in
         accordance with the standards and specifications established by Vital
         Images from time to time. Reseller shall have the option after March
         31, 2001 to provide installation services, in which case the parties
         shall work toward a mutual agreement as to the transition of
         installation services to Reseller. Vital Images shall additionally
         provide two (2) two-day applications training sessions for each Product
         sold, as further described on Exhibit E attached hereto.

                  permitted under applicable law, whichever is lower, shall
                  automatically become due on all balances outstanding; and

         (b)      Vital Images reserves the right to withhold or suspend
                  shipment of Products to Reseller and/or its customers if there
                  is an unsettled outstanding balance owed by Reseller to Vital
                  Images.

            ARTICLE 7: APPROVALS; ADVERSE REACTIONS; PRODUCT RECALLS

         each country included in the Territory as Vital Images deems necessary.
         Vital Images shall keep Reseller apprised of

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

         its progress with respect to any such applications. Reseller shall
         furnish Vital Images with such assistance and cooperation as may be
         reasonably requested in connection with the securing of such Government
         Approval.

7.2      Compliance. Vital Images shall comply with all applicable regulatory
         requirements, and Reseller shall provide to Vital Images all
         information within Reseller's possession necessary for Vital Images to
         comply with its medical device reporting requirements to the FDA or any
         other comparable regulatory body elsewhere in the world. Vital Images
         shall comply with all health registration laws, regulations and orders
         of any government entity within the Territory and Vital Images and
         Reseller shall each comply, with respect to their activities, with all
         other governmental requirements relating to the promotion, marketing
         and sale of the Products in each country in the Territory. Reseller
         shall submit all advertising claims to Vital Images for written
         approval prior to their first use by any party, such consent not to be
         unreasonably withheld.

7.3      Corrective Action.

         (a)      Notice of Corrective Action. If Vital Images believes that a
                  corrective action with respect to the Products in distribution
                  is desirable or required by law, or if any governmental agency
                  having jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the FDA)
                  shall request or order any corrective action with respect to
                  the Products in distribution, including any recall or customer
                  notification, Vital Images shall promptly notify Reseller.
                  Modified Products, if necessitated by recall or customer
                  notification, will be provided by Vital Images at no expense
                  to Reseller and/or dealer associates for customer
                  installation. Reseller shall maintain complete and accurate
                  records, for such periods as may be required by applicable
                  law, of all Products sold by it and any of its Dealer
                  Associates. The parties shall cooperate fully with each other
                  in effecting any corrective action with respect to the
                  Products pursuant to this Article 7.3, including communication
                  with any customers and Reseller and its Dealer Associates
                  shall comply with all reasonable directions of Vital Images'
                  regarding such corrective action. This Article 7.3 shall not
                  limit the obligations of either party under law regarding any
                  corrective action with respect to Products required by law or
                  properly mandated by governmental authority.

         (b)      Refund. If any Products are required to be returned to Vital
                  Images pursuant to this Article 7.3 and no replacement is
                  provided therefor by Vital Images, Vital Images shall refund
                  to Reseller's customers any unearned license fees paid to
                  Reseller (the amount of the license fee each such customer
                  paid for the products, less a reasonable value for use
                  determined by prorating the license fee paid on a thirty-six
                  (36) month straight line amortization method), and the cost of
                  any applicable computer hardware. Vital Images shall indemnify
                  Reseller from any actions made by Reseller's customers
                  claiming reimbursement of license fees, whether or not in
                  excess of the amount specified in this paragraph.

           ARTICLE 8: WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION
           ----------------------------------------------------------

8.1      Product Warranties to Customers. Vital Images hereby authorizes
         Reseller to pass through to its customers Vital Images' standard
         software warranties as set forth in the End User Agreement. In
         addition, Vital Images hereby authorizes Reseller to pass through to
         its customers the standard hardware warranties provided by each of the
         manufacturers of the hardware. As part of its First Level Maintenance
         obligations, Reseller shall promptly inform Vital Images of any claims
         made by customers in the Territory under such software and hardware
         warranties. All such warranty claims shall be made promptly and shall
         state the nature and details of the claim, the date the cause of the
         claim was first observed and the serial number of the Products
         concerned, if any. Further, all such warranty claims must be received
         by Vital Images no later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of
         the warranty period for such customer as provided in the applicable End
         User Agreement with respect to the Software and in the applicable
         manufacturer warranty with respect to the hardware.

8.2      Excluded Claims. Vital Images shall have no obligation to Reseller or
         Reseller's customers under Article 8.1 above if:

         (a)      The Products have not been properly installed (if Reseller
                  installed the Product), used or maintained in accordance with
                  Vital Images' then-applicable operating manuals or maintenance
                  program, whether by Reseller, its customers or any other third
                  party;

         (b)      The Products have been modified in any manner or are used or
                  combined with other computer software programs, hardware or
                  data not supplied by Vital Images and without the prior
                  written consent of Vital Images; or

         (c)      The Products have been distributed to a customer with any
                  warranties or representations, oral or written, made by
                  Reseller or any third party beyond those expressly set forth
                  in the End User Agreement or applicable manufacturer's
                  warranty. This limitation of Vital Images' warranty
                  obligations extends only to the additional warranties.

8.3      Warranty to Reseller. Vital Images hereby represents and warrants to
         Reseller:

         (a)      Vital Images owns or has the lawful right from others to grant
                  the rights to market and distribute the Products as set forth
                  in this Agreement;

         (b)      Vital Images has no knowledge of any infringement by the
                  Products of any third party intellectual property rights, such
                  as patents, copyrights, trade secrets or trademarks; and

         (c)      Vital Images has taken all appropriate corporate action to
                  authorize execution and performance of this Agreement.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

8.4      Limited Warranty. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 8.3 ABOVE AND IN
         THE END USER AGREEMENT ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
         IMPLIED, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED BY VITAL IMAGES,
         INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
         FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

8.5      Indemnification of Reseller. Vital Images hereby agrees to indemnify,
         defend and hold Reseller harmless from any third party suit, claim or
         other legal action ("Legal Action") that alleges the Software infringes
         any United States patent, copyright, or trade secret, including any
         reasonable costs or legal fees thereby incurred by Reseller. Reseller
         shall be given written notice of any Legal Action within thirty (30)
         days of Reseller's first knowledge thereof; provided, that, the failure
         of Reseller to notify Vital Images of any such matter within the thirty
         (30) day period shall not release Vital Images, in whole or in part,
         from its obligations under this Section 8.5, except to the extent
         Reseller's failure to so notify Vital Images materially prejudices
         Vital Images' ability to defend against such suit, claim or other legal
         action. Vital Images shall have sole and exclusive control of the
         defense of any Legal Action, including the choice and direction of any
         legal counsel. Reseller may not settle or compromise any Legal Action
         without the written consent of Vital Images. If the Software is found
         to infringe any such third party intellectual property right in such a
         Legal Action, at Vital Images' sole discretion and expense, Vital
         Images shall (i) obtain a license from such third party for the benefit
         of Reseller and its customers; (ii) replace or modify the Software so
         that it is no longer infringing; or (iii) if neither of the foregoing
         is commercially feasible, terminate this Agreement and refund to
         Reseller all amounts previously paid by Reseller for the Software and
         the Products, if applicable law requires such refund.

8.6      Indemnification of Vital Images. Reseller hereby agrees to indemnify,
         defend and hold Vital Images harmless from any and all claims, demands,
         losses and liabilities, including any reasonable costs or legal fees
         thereby incurred by Vital Images, resulting from Reseller's acts or
         omissions, including, without limitation, misrepresentations regarding
         the Products, any violation of applicable laws or regulations relating
         to the marketing and distribution of the Products, any breach of any
         covenant or term in this Agreement, and any failure by Reseller to
         provide the required support to end users or to properly install the
         Products, as applicable.

                        ARTICLE 9: LIMITATION OF REMEDIES
                        ---------------------------------

9.1      Sole Remedies. THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF ANY AND
         ALL WARRANTIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THE END
         USER AGREEMENT.

9.2      Consequential Damages. VITAL IMAGES AND RESELLER SHALL HAVE NO
         LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
         CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE, EVEN IF VITAL IMAGES OR RESELLER

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

         OR ANY OTHER PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
         POTENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE BY RESELLER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. IN NO EVENT
         SHALL VITAL IMAGES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE AGGREGATE
         AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY RESELLER TO VITAL IMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
         EXCEPT FOR ACTIONS FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT, PERSONAL
         INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, ACTIONS ARISING UNDER FDA REGULATIONS, OR AS
         OTHERWISE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR BY LAW.

                           ARTICLE 10: CONFIDENTIALITY
                           ---------------------------

10.1     Confidential Information; Term. All Confidential Information shall be
         deemed confidential and proprietary to the party disclosing such
         information hereunder. Each party may use the Confidential Information
         of the other party during the term of this Agreement only as permitted
         or required for the receiving party's performance hereunder. The
         receiving party shall not disclose or provide any Confidential
         Information to any third party and shall take reasonable measures to
         prevent any unauthorized disclosure by its employees, agents,
         contractors or consultants during the term hereof including appropriate
         individual nondisclosure agreements. The foregoing duty shall apply to
         any Confidential Information for a period of five (5) years from the
         date of its disclosure.

10.2     Exclusions. The following shall not be considered Confidential
         Information for purposes of this Article 10:

         (a)      Information which is or becomes in the public domain through
                  no fault or act of the receiving party;

         (b)      Information which was independently developed by the receiving
                  party without the use of or reliance on the disclosing party's
                  Confidential Information;

         (c)      Information which was provided to the receiving party by a
                  third party under no duty of confidentiality to the disclosing
                  party; or

         (d)      Information which is required to be disclosed by law,
                  provided, however, prompt prior notice thereof shall be given
                  to the party whose Confidential Information is involved.

                             ARTICLE 11: TRADEMARKS
                             ----------------------

11.1     Use of Trademarks. Vital Images hereby grants to Reseller, and Reseller
         hereby accepts from Vital Images, a nonexclusive, nontransferable and
         royalty-free license to use the Vital Images trademarks specified in
         the List of Trademarks, Exhibit G hereto, as such list may be modified
         from time to time, solely in connection with the distribution,
         promotion, advertising and maintenance of the Products. Reseller shall
         not use any other

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

         marks or trade names in connection with the marketing and distribution
         of the Products. All such Vital Images trademarks shall be used by
         Reseller in accordance with Vital Images' standards, specifications and
         instructions, but in no event beyond the term of this Agreement. Vital
         Images may inspect and monitor the activities of Reseller to ensure
         that such use of the Vital Images trademarks is in accordance with such
         standards, specifications and instructions. Reseller is not granted any
         right, title or interest in such trademarks other than the foregoing
         limited license, and Reseller shall not use any Vital Image trademarks
         as part of Reseller's corporate or trade name or permit any third party
         to do so.

11.2     Registration. Vital Images shall use its best efforts to register the
         Vital Images trademarks specified in the List of Trademarks, Exhibit G
         hereto, as such list may be modified during the term of this Agreement,
         within the Territory when and if Vital Images determines, in its sole
         discretion, that registration is necessary or useful to the successful
         distribution of the Products. Vital Images shall be the sole party to
         initiate any such registration and shall bear all the expenses thereof.

11.3     Markings. Resellers shall not remove or alter any Vital Images trade
         names, trademarks, copyright notices, serial numbers, labels, tags or
         other identifying marks, symbols or legends affixed to any Products,
         documentation, containers or packages.

11.4     Infringement. Reseller shall promptly notify Vital Images in writing of
         any unauthorized use of Vital Images' trademarks or similar marks which
         may constitute an infringement or passing off of Vital Images'
         trademarks. Vital Images reserves the right in its sole discretion to
         institute any proceedings against such third party infringers, and
         Reseller shall refrain from doing so. Reseller shall cooperate fully
         with Vital Images in any legal action taken by Vital Images against
         such third parties, provided that Vital Images shall pay all expenses
         of such action. All damages, which may be awarded or agreed upon in
         settlement of any legal action, shall accrue to Vital Images.

11.5     Termination of Use. Reseller shall not adopt, use or register any
         words, phrases or symbols which are identical to or confusingly similar
         to any of Vital Images' trademarks. Upon termination of this Agreement,
         Reseller shall immediately cease any use of the Vital Images trademarks
         in any manner. In addition, Reseller hereby empowers Vital Images and
         shall assist Vital Images, if requested, to cancel, revoke or withdraw
         any governmental registration or authorization permitting Reseller to
         use Vital Images trademarks in the Territory.

                          ARTICLE 12: TAXES AND DUTIES
                          ----------------------------

12.1     Taxes in the Territory. Reseller shall be solely responsible for and
         shall pay all taxes, duties, import deposits, assessments and other
         governmental charges, however designated, which are now or hereafter
         imposed by any governmental authority or agency that are based on (a)
         the payment of any amount by Reseller to Vital Images pursuant to

         this Agreement for the Products or the use thereof, or (b) the import
         of the Products into the Territory if such transaction is international
         in nature.

12.2     Net Payments. All payments to be made by Reseller to Vital Images
         pursuant to this Agreement represent net amounts Vital Images is
         entitled to receive and shall not be subject to any deductions for any
         reason whatsoever except as allowed in this Agreement or by law. In the
         event any of said charges become subject to taxes, duties, import
         deposits, assessments or other governmental charges, however
         designated, said payments from Reseller shall be increased to such an
         extent as to allow Vital Images to receive the net amounts due under
         this Agreement.

                  Products or the direct product of any Products to any
                  destination forbidden under the then-applicable U.S. Export
                  Administration Regulations;

         (b)      Reseller's commitment in paragraph (a) above shall apply in
                  all cases unless the U.S. Export Administration Regulations
                  expressly permit such re-export or the U.S. Commerce
                  Department's Office of Export Licensing has granted such
                  authorization in writing; and

         (c)      Reseller's commitment in paragraph (a) above shall survive
                  termination of this Agreement.

                        --------------------------------

14.1     Term. This Agreement shall take effect as of the date on page 1 above
         and shall have an initial term through March 31, 2002 (the "Term"). At
         the end of the Term, this Agreement shall automatically terminate

         (b)      The rights of any customer of Reseller who holds a valid and
                  binding End User Agreement for the Products prior to the

         (c)      Reseller's indemnification obligation under Article 2.2, and
                  the parties' obligations under Articles 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13,
                  16 and 17 shall survive any termination of this Agreement; and

         (d)      Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, Reseller shall

                            ARTICLE 15: FORCE MAJEURE
                            -------------------------

15.1     Definition. "Force Majeure" shall mean any event or condition beyond
         the reasonable control of either party which prevents, in whole or in
         material part, the performance by one of the parties of its obligations
         hereunder or which renders the performance of such obligations so
         difficult or costly as to make such performance commercially
         unreasonable. Without limiting the foregoing, the following shall
         constitute events or conditions of Force Majeure: acts of State or
         governmental action, riots, disturbance, war, strikes, lockouts,
         prolonged shortage of energy or other supplies, epidemics, fire, flood,
         hurricane, typhoon, earthquake, lightning and explosion, or any refusal
         or failure of any governmental authority to grant any export license
         legally required.

15.2     Notice. Upon written notice to the other party, a party affected by an
         event of Force Majeure shall be suspended without any liability on its
         part from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement,
         except for the obligation to pay any amounts due and owing hereunder.
         Such notice shall include a description of the nature of the event of
         Force Majeure, and its cause and possible consequences. The party
         claiming Force Majeure shall also promptly notify the other party of
         the termination of such event.

15.3     Suspension of Performance. During the period that the performance by
         one of the parties of its obligations under this Agreement has been
         suspended by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the other party may
         likewise suspend the performance of all or part of its obligations
         hereunder to the extent that such suspension is commercially
         reasonable.

                             ARTICLE 16: ARBITRATION
                             -----------------------

16.1     Dispute Resolution. Except as provided in Article 16.2 below, Vital
         Images and Reseller shall each use its best efforts to resolve any
         dispute between them promptly and amicably and without resort to any
         legal process if feasible within thirty (30) days of receipt of a
         written notice by one party to the other party of the existence of such
         dispute. Except as provided in Article 16.2 below, no further action
         may be taken under this Article 16 unless and until executive officers
         of Vital Images and Reseller have met in good faith to discuss and
         settle such dispute. The foregoing requirement in this Article 16.1
         shall be without prejudice to either party's right, if applicable, to
         terminate this Agreement under Article 14.2 above.

16.2     Litigation Rights Reserved. If any dispute arises with regard to the
         unauthorized use or infringement of Confidential Information by
         Reseller, Vital Images may seek any available remedy at law or in
         equity from a court of competent jurisdiction.

16.3     Procedure for Arbitration. Except as provided in Article 16.2 above,
         any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with
         this Agreement which has not been settled through negotiation within a
         period of thirty (30) days after the date on which either party shall
         first have notified the other party in writing of the existence of a
         dispute shall be settled by final and binding arbitration under the
         then-applicable Commercial

         American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Any such arbitration shall be

         the following additional procedures and rules shall apply to any such
         arbitration:

         (a)      Each party shall have the right to request from the
                  arbitrators, and the arbitrators shall order upon good cause
                  shown, reasonable and limited pre-hearing discovery, including
                  (i) exchange of witness lists, (ii) depositions under oath of
                  named witnesses at a mutually convenient location, (iii)
                  written interrogatories and (iv) document requests.

         (b)      Upon conclusion of the pre-hearing discovery, the arbitrators
                  shall promptly hold a hearing upon the evidence to be adduced
                  by the parties and shall promptly render a written opinion and
                  award.

         (c)      The arbitrators may not award or assess punitive damages
                  against either party.

         (d)      Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses of the
                  arbitration and one-half (1/2) of the fees and costs of the
                  arbitrators, subject to the power of the arbitrators, in their
                  sole discretion, to award all such reasonable costs, expenses
                  and fees to the prevailing party.

                            ARTICLE 17: MISCELLANEOUS
                            -------------------------

17.1     Relationship. This Agreement does make either party the employee, agent
         or legal representative of the other for any purposes whatsoever.
         Neither party is granted any right or authority to assume or to create
         any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of or
         in the name of the other party. Each party is acting as an independent
         contractor. The parties agree that this Agreement shall not constitute
         a franchise under Minnesota law or any other applicable federal or
         state laws. If the parties relationship is deemed to be a franchise by
         a court of law or other judicial body, the parties hereto expressly
         agree to waive all rights and remedies which either of them may have
         due to any status as a franchisor or franchisee or pursuant to the
         application of any franchise laws, rules or regulations.

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

17.2     Assignment. Reseller shall not assign or otherwise transfer its rights
         and obligations under this Agreement except with the prior written
         consent of Vital Images, which consent will not be unreasonably
         withheld. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of
         and be assignable by Vital Images to the successors and assigns of the
         business interest of Vital Images including, without limitation, any
         successor to or assignees of the assets or stock of Vital Images as a
         result of any sale, merger or any other corporate reorganization or
         transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vital Images shall not
         assign this Agreement to any of Reseller's direct CT competitors,
         including Marconi Medical Systems, GE Medical Systems and Siemens
         Medical Systems, except with the prior written consent of Reseller. Any
         prohibited assignment shall be null and void.

17.3     Notices. Notices permitted or required to be given hereunder shall be
         deemed sufficient if given by registered or certified mail, postage
         prepaid, return receipt requested, by private courier service, or by
         facsimile addressed to the respective addresses of the parties as first
         written above or at such other addresses as the respective parties may
         designate by like notice from time to time. Notices so given shall be
         effective upon (i) receipt by the party to which notice is given, or
         (ii) on the fifth (5th) day following domestic mailing or the tenth
         (10th) day following international mailing, as may be the case,
         whichever occurs first.

17.4     Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto which
         are incorporated herein, constitutes the entire agreement of the
         parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
         proposals, oral or written, and all negotiations, conversations,
         discussions, and previous distribution or value added reseller
         agreements heretofore between the parties. Reseller and Vital Images
         hereby acknowledge that they have not been induced to enter into this
         Agreement by any representations or statements, oral or written, not
         expressly contained herein.

17.5     Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, rescinded,
         canceled or waived, in whole or in part, except by written amendment
         signed by both parties hereto.

17.6     Publicity. This Agreement is confidential, and no party shall issue
         press releases or engage in other types of publicity of any nature
         dealing with the commercial or legal details of this Agreement without
         the other party's prior written approval, which approval shall not be
         unreasonably withheld. However, approval of such disclosure shall be
         deemed to be given to the extent such disclosure is required to comply
         with governmental rules, regulations or other governmental
         requirements. In such event, the publishing party shall furnish a copy
         of such disclosure to the other party.

17.7     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
         under the laws of the state within which the action is filed as
         specified in Section 16.3 above, excluding its choice of law rules.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

17.8     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable
         under any of the laws or regulations applicable thereto, such provision
         terms shall be deemed stricken from this Agreement, but such invalidity
         or unenforceability shall not invalidate any of the other provisions of
         this Agreement.

17.9     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
         counterparts in the English language and each such counterpart shall be
         deemed an original hereof. In case of any conflict between the English
         version and any translated version of this Agreement, the English
         version shall govern.

17.10    Waiver. No failure by either party to take any action or assert any
         right hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of such right in the
         event of the continuation or repetition of the circumstances giving
         rise to such right.

17.11    Delays in Delivery. The delivery date for each order placed by Reseller
         will be indicated on Reseller's purchase order. If Vital Images fails
         to deliver the Products within sixty (60) days of the deadline(s)
         indicated in such purchase orders, Reseller shall have the right to
         cancel such order and, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.5 of
         this Agreement, purchase equivalent products from an alternative
         source. Vital Images shall pay Reseller for the difference between the
         price of the alternative product and the price for the Products under
         the cancelled purchase order(s), not later than twenty (20) days
         following receipt of Reseller's invoice.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives below.

         software products (defined below as the "Products").

B.       Licensee desires to license and use the Products, and Vital Images so
         agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.

ARTICLE 1: DEFINITIONS

1.1      Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" shall mean all
         information disclosed by Vital Images to Licensee or embodied in the
         Products, regardless of the form in which it is disclosed, which
         relates to markets, customers, products, patents, inventions,
         procedures, methods, designs, strategies, plans, assets, liabilities,
         prices, costs, revenues, profits, organization, employees, agents,

         in object code form as described in Exhibit A and any related user
         documentation as released from time to time by Vital Images, including
         any later authorized releases or versions of such software or
         documentation during the term of this License Agreement.

ARTICLE 2: LICENSE GRANT AND USE
--------------------------------

2.1      License Grant. In consideration for Licensee's payment of the
         applicable license fee, and subject to the terms of this License
         Agreement, Vital Images hereby grants to Licensee a nonexclusive,
         non-transferable license ("License") to use the Products only on one
         (1) computer of the type described in Exhibit B attached hereto
         ("Designated Equipment"), and only at the site described in Exhibit B
         ("Designated Site"). Licensee must purchase a
<PAGE>

         License for each computer at a Designated Site on which it desires to
         install and use the Products. Licensee's use of the Products shall be
         limited to Licensee's internal business activities.

2.2      Restrictions on Use. Licensee agrees not to engage in, cause or permit

         distribute, assign or otherwise transfer the Products or copies
         thereof, in whole or in part, to any third party. Licensee may not

2.4      Ownership. All right, title and interest in the Products shall at all
         times remain the property of Vital Images and its licensors, subject to
         the Licenses granted to Licensee under this License Agreement. Licensee
         understands and agrees that it takes title only to the media on which
         the Products are provided to it, but that the Products shall remain the
         property of, and proprietary to, Vital Images.

                  inability to satisfy its debts in the ordinary course of

         of any Product. Unless otherwise required by applicable local laws,
         Licensee shall advise Vital Images of any such adverse event prior to
         any report or filing being made with the U.S. Food and Drug
         Administration ("FDA") or any other comparable regulatory body
         elsewhere in the world.

4.2      Product Recall; Corrective Action.

         (a)      Corrective Action. If Vital Images believes that a corrective
                  action with respect to the Products is desirable or required
                  by law, or if any governmental agency having jurisdiction
                  (including without limitation, the FDA) shall request or order
                  any corrective action with respect to the Products, including
                  any recall, customer notice, restriction, change, corrective
                  action or market action or any Product change, Vital Images or
                  its reseller shall promptly notify Licensee. Licensee shall
                  comply with all reasonable directions regarding such
                  corrective action, including the return of the Products to
                  Vital Images or a reseller at Vital Images' expense.

         (b)      Refund. If any Products are required to be returned to Vital
                  Images or its resellers pursuant to this Article 4.2 and no
                  replacement is provided therefor by Vital Images, Vital Images
                  shall refund to Licensee any unearned license fees paid (the
                  amount of the license fee Licensee paid for the Products, less
                  a reasonable value for use determined by prorating the license
                  fee paid on a thirty-six (36) month straight line amortization
                  method).

ARTICLE 5: WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION
--------------------------------------

5.1      Limited Warranty. Vital Images warrants to Licensee for one (1) year
         from the delivery date (the "Warranty Period"), that the Products, when
         properly installed and operated,

                                       3
<PAGE>

         will substantially perform the functions described in the functional
         specifications for the Products, as contained in the applicable written
         documentation for the Products. Vital Images shall have no obligation
         to Licensee or any third party under this Article 5.1 if (a) the
         Products have not been properly installed, used or maintained, whether
         by Licensee or any third party, in accordance with the Licenses granted
         hereunder or Vital Images' then-applicable operating manuals; or (b)
         the Products have been modified in any manner or are used or combined
         with other computer software programs, hardware or data not supplied by
         Vital Images and without the prior written consent of Vital Images.

5.2      Exclusive Remedy. Vital Images' entire liability, and Licensee's
         exclusive remedy, for any warranty claim made by Licensee under Article
         5.1 above during the Warranty Period shall be for Vital Images, at its
         option, to either (a) replace any defective media which prevents the
         Products from satisfying the limited warranty described in Article 5.1;
         (b) attempt to correct any material and reproducible errors reported by
         Licensee; or (c) terminate this License Agreement and refund the
         license fee paid for the Products. Vital Images does not warrant that
         the operation of the Products will be uninterrupted or error-free, that
         all errors in the Products will be corrected, that the Products will
         satisfy Licensee's requirements or that the Products will operate in
         the combinations which Licensee may select for use.

5.3      Limited Warranty. Vital Images warrants to Licensee that the Products,
         when properly installed and operated, will produce no material errors
         when processing dates prior to, during and after the calendar year
         2000. Vital Images shall have no obligation to Licensee or any third
         party under this Article 5.3 if (a) the Products have not been properly
         installed, used or maintained, whether by Licensee or any third party,
         in accordance with the Licenses granted hereunder or Vital Images'
         then-applicable operating manuals; (b) the Products have been modified
         in any manner or are used or combined with other computer software
         programs, hardware or data; or (c) the material error reported by
         Licensee is not reproducible by Vital Images.

5.4      Exclusive Remedy. Vital Images' entire liability, and Licensee's
         exclusive remedy, for any breach of the warranty in Article 5.3 above
         shall be for Vital Images, at its option, to either (a) attempt to
         correct such material and reproductive errors, or (b) terminate the
         License to such Products and refund any unearned license fees paid (the
         amount of the license fee Licensee paid for the Products, less a
         reasonable value for use determined by prorating the license fee paid
         on a thirty-six (36) month straight-line depreciation method) with no
         further liability to Licensee. This Article 5.4 states Licensee's
         exclusive remedy, and Vital Images and its licensors' entire liability
         for any breach of the warranty set forth in Article 5.3.

5.5      Warranty Disclaimer. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLES 5.1 AND 5.3
         ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
         IMPLIED, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED BY VITAL IMAGES,
         INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
         FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-

                                       4
<PAGE>

         INFRINGEMENT OR USE, AND ALL OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF
         VITAL IMAGES FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE,
         MAINTENANCE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE. Repair or
         replacement of all or any part of the Products does not extend the
         Warranty Period, which shall begin on the delivery date. Vital Images
         and its third party licensors expressly disclaim any commitment to
         provide maintenance or support of the Products beyond the Warranty
         Period, in the absence of a Licensee entering into a separate agreement
         with Vital Images or its reseller. Furthermore, the Products are
         derived from and include software from third party licensors, who make
         no warranty, express or implied, regarding the Products, who disclaim
         any and all liability for the Products and who will not undertake to
         provide any information or support regarding the Products.

5.4      Infringement Indemnity. Vital Images hereby agrees to indemnify, defend
         and hold Licensee harmless from any third from any third party suit,
         claim or other legal action ("Legal Action") that alleges the Licensed
         Software infringes any United States patent, copyright, or trade
         secret, including any award of damages and costs made against Licensee
         by a final judgment of a court of last resort based upon a Legal
         Action, provided that: (a) Licensee gives written notice of any Legal
         Action to Vital Images within fifteen (15) days of Licensee's first
         knowledge thereof; (b) Vital Images has sole and exclusive control of
         the defense of any Legal Action, including the choice and direction of
         any legal counsel, and all related settlement negotiations; and (c)
         Licensee provides Vital Images (at Vital Images' expense for reasonable
         out-of-pocket expenses) with assistance, information and authority to
         perform the above.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vital Images and its licensors shall
         have no liability for any Legal Action based on or arising out of: (a)
         the failure by Licensee to use a non-infringing version or release of
         the Products if made available by Vital Images, (b) the combination,
         operation or use of the Products with software, hardware or data not
         furnished by Vital Images, if such Legal Action would have been avoided
         by use of the Products without such software, hardware or data, or (c)
         the use of any Products in a manner for which it was neither designed
         nor contemplated.

         In the event that the Products are held or are believed by Vital Images
         to infringe, Vital Images shall, at its option and expense, (a) modify
         the infringing Products, (b) obtain for Licensee a license to continue
         using such Products, (c) substitute the Products with other software
         reasonably suitable to Licensee, or (d) if none of the foregoing are
         commercially feasible, terminate the License to such Products and
         refund any unearned license fees paid (the amount of the license fee
         paid for the Products, less a reasonable value for use determined by
         prorating the license fee paid on a thirty-six (36) month straight-line
         amortization method) with no further liability to Licensee.

         This Article 5.4 states Licensee's exclusive remedy, and Vital Images'
         and its licensors' entire liability, for any infringement claim related
         to the Products or their use.

         AND ALL OTHER PERFORMANCE BY VITAL IMAGES UNDER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT
         SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE REMEDIES PROVIDED IN ARTICLE 5 OF THIS LICENSE
         AGREEMENT.

6.3      Damages Limitation. VITAL IMAGES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND
         FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE,
         EVEN IF VITAL IMAGES SHALL HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
         POTENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES ARISING
         OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE USE, MAINTENANCE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE
         PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF
         LICENSEE'S OR ANY THIRD PARTY DATA. IN NO EVENT SHALL VITAL IMAGES BE
         LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID
         BY LICENSEE TO VITAL IMAGES UNDER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 7: CONFIDENTIALITY
--------------------------

7.1      Confidential Information. All Confidential Information shall be deemed
         confidential and proprietary to Vital Images, and are the sole and
         exclusive property of Vital Images. Licensee may use the Confidential
         Information during the term of this License Agreement only as permitted
         hereunder or as necessary in order to use the Products in accordance
         with the License(s) granted hereunder. Licensee shall not disclose or
         provide any Confidential Information to any third party and shall take
         reasonable measures to prevent any unauthorized disclosure by
         Licensee's employees, agents, contractors or consultants during the
         term hereof including appropriate individual nondisclosure agreements.

7.2      Exclusions. The following information shall not be considered
         Confidential Information under this Article 7:

<PAGE>

         (b)      Information which was independently developed by Licensee
                  without the use or reliance on Vital Images' Confidential
                  Information;

         (c)      Information which was provided to Licensee by a third party
                  under no duty of confidentiality to Vital Images; or

         (d)      Information which is required to be disclosed by Licensee
                  under law, provided, however, Licensee gives prompt notice
                  thereof to Vital Images prior to such disclosure.

7.3      Cooperation. At Vital Images' request, Licensee shall cooperate fully
         with Vital Images in any and all legal actions taken by Vital Images to
         protect its rights in the Products and in the Confidential Information.

         Licensee in the course of cooperating with Vital Images in such legal
         action.

ARTICLE 8: ARBITRATION
----------------------

8.1      Dispute Resolution. Except as provided in Article 8.2 below, Vital
         Images and Licensee shall each use its best efforts to resolve any
         dispute between them promptly and without resort to any legal process
         if feasible within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written notice by
         one party to the other party of the existence of such dispute. The
         foregoing requirement in this Article 8.1 shall be without prejudice to
         either party's right, if applicable, to terminate this License
         Agreement under Article 3.1 above.

8.2      Litigation Rights Reserved. If any dispute arises with regard to
         Licensee's unauthorized use of the Products or unauthorized use or
         infringement of Confidential Information, Vital Images may seek any
         available remedy at law or in equity from a court of competent
         jurisdiction.

8.3      Procedure for Arbitration. Except as provided in Article 8.2 above, any
         dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with this
         License Agreement which has not been settled through negotiation within
         a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which either party shall
         first have notified the other party in writing of the existence of a
         dispute shall be settled by final and binding arbitration under the
         then-applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or, if Licensee's
         principal place of business is outside the United States, the
         International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
         ("AAA"). Any such arbitration shall be conducted by three (3)
         arbitrators appointed by mutual agreement of the parties or, failing
         such agreement, in accordance with said Rules. At least one (1)
         arbitrator shall be an experienced computer software professional, and
         at least one (1) arbitrator shall be an experienced business attorney
         with a background in the licensing and distribution of computer
         software. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Minneapolis,
         Minnesota, U.S.A. in the English language. An arbitral award may be
         enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any
         contrary provision

<PAGE>

         in the AAA Rules, the following additional procedures and rules shall
         apply to any such arbitration:

         (a)      Each party shall have the right to request from the
                  arbitrators, and the arbitrators shall order upon good cause
                  shown, reasonable and limited pre-hearing discovery, including
                  (i) exchange of witness lists, (ii) depositions under oath of
                  named witnesses at a mutually convenient location, (iii)
                  written interrogatories and (iv) document requests.

         (b)      Upon conclusion of the pre-hearing discovery, the arbitrators
                  shall promptly hold a hearing upon the evidence to be adduced
                  by the parties and shall promptly render a written opinion and
                  award.

         (c)      The arbitrators may not award or assess punitive damages
                  against either party.

         (d)      Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses of the
                  arbitration and one-half (1/2) of the fees and costs of the
                  arbitrators, subject to the power of the arbitrators, in their
                  sole discretion, to award all such reasonable costs, expenses
                  and fees to the prevailing party.

         Agreement, but such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate
         any of the other provisions of this Agreement.

9.8      Waiver. No failure by either party to take any action or assert any
         right hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of such right in the

                  so agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this License
                  Agreement.

         Products shall be limited solely to demonstration, evaluation, testing
         or otherwise as described on Exhibit B. Licensee hereby agrees that the
         Products under this License shall not be used for any business

         Equipment, without the prior written approval of Vital Images.

ARTICLE 4: ADVERSE REACTIONS; PRODUCT RECALLS

4.1      Adverse Event Reporting. In the event that Vital Images has granted
         Licensee the right to use the Products under this License Agreement in
         its business activities, Licensee shall advise Vital Images, by
         telephone or facsimile, within twenty-four (24) hours after it becomes
         aware of any adverse event from the use of any Product or malfunction
         of any Product. Unless otherwise required by applicable local laws,
         Licensee shall advise Vital Images of any such adverse event prior to

         Administration ("FDA") or any other comparable regulatory body
         elsewhere in the world.

4.2      Product Recall; Corrective Action. If Vital Images believes that a
         corrective action with respect to the Products is desirable or required
         by law, or if any governmental agency having jurisdiction (including
         without limitation, the FDA) shall request or order any corrective
         action with respect to the Products, including any recall, customer
         notice, restriction, change, corrective action or market action or any
         Product change, Vital Images or its reseller shall promptly notify
         Licensee. Licensee shall comply with all reasonable directions
         regarding such corrective action, including the return of the Products
         to Vital Images or a reseller at Vital Images' expense.

ARTICLE 5: WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION
--------------------------------------

5.1      No Warranty. Vital Images makes no warranty to Licensee that the
         Products, when properly installed and operated, will substantially
         perform the functions described in the functional specifications for
         the Products, as contained in the applicable written documentation for
         the Products. All Products are provided to Licensee "AS IS."

5.2      Exclusive Remedy. Vital Images' entire liability, and Licensee's
         exclusive remedy, for any claim made by Licensee under Article 5.1
         above shall be for Vital Images to terminate this License Agreement.
         Vital Images does not warrant that the operation of the Products will
         be uninterrupted or error-free, that all errors in the Products will be
         corrected, that the Products will satisfy Licensee's requirements or
         that the Products will operate in the combinations which Licensee may
         select for use.

5.3      Warranty Disclaimer. THE WARRANTY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 5.1 ABOVE IS
         EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
         WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED BY VITAL IMAGES, INCLUDING
         WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
         PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR USE, AND ALL OBLIGATIONS OR
         LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF VITAL IMAGES FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR
         IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE, MAINTENANCE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED
         SOFTWARE. Furthermore, the Products are derived from and include
         software from third party licensors, who make no warranty, express or
         implied, regarding

                                       3
<PAGE>

         the Products, who disclaim any and all liability for the Products and
         who will not undertake to provide any information or support regarding
         the Products.

5.4      Infringement Indemnity. Vital Images hereby agrees to indemnify, defend
         and hold Licensee harmless from any third from any third party suit,
         claim or other legal action ("Legal Action") that alleges the Licensed
         Software infringes any United States patent, copyright, or trade
         secret, including any award of damages and costs made against Licensee
         by a final judgment of a court of last resort based upon a Legal
         Action, provided that: (a) Licensee gives written notice of any Legal
         Action to Vital Images within fifteen (15) days of Licensee's first
         knowledge thereof; (b) Vital Images has sole and exclusive control of
         the defense of any Legal Action, including the choice and direction of
         any legal counsel, and all related settlement negotiations; and (c)
         Licensee provides Vital Images (at Vital Images' expense for reasonable
         out-of-pocket expenses) with assistance, information and authority to
         perform the above.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vital Images and its licensors shall
         have no liability for any Legal Action based on or arising out of: (a)
         the failure by Licensee to use a non-infringing version or release of
         the Products if made available by Vital Images, (b) the combination,
         operation or use of the Products with software, hardware or data not
         furnished by Vital Images, if such Legal Action would have been avoided
         by use of the Products without such software, hardware or data, or (c)
         the use of any Products in a manner for which it was neither designed
         nor contemplated.

         In the event that the Products are held or are believed by Vital Images
         to infringe, Vital Images shall, at its option and expense, terminate
         the License to such Products.

         This Article 5.4 states Licensee's exclusive remedy, and Vital Images'
         and its licensors' entire liability, for any infringement claim related
         to the Products or their use.

ARTICLE 6: LIMITATION OF REMEDIES
---------------------------------

6.1      Delay. VITAL IMAGES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED
         BY DELAY IN FURNISHING PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OR ANY OTHER PERFORMANCE
         UNDER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

         SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE REMEDIES PROVIDED IN ARTICLE 5 OF THIS LICENSE
         AGREEMENT.

         FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR

                                       4
<PAGE>

         DAMAGE, EVEN IF VITAL IMAGES SHALL HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
         OF SUCH POTENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES
         ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE USE, MAINTENANCE OR PERFORMANCE OF
         THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF
         LICENSEE'S OR ANY THIRD PARTY DATA. IN NO EVENT SHALL VITAL IMAGES BE
         LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID
         BY LICENSEE TO VITAL IMAGES UNDER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

7.3      Cooperation. At Vital Images' request, Licensee shall cooperate fully
         with Vital Images in any and all legal actions taken by Vital Images to
         protect its rights in the Products and in the Confidential Information.

                           discovery, including (i) exchange of witness lists,

                           arbitrators shall promptly hold a hearing upon the
                           evidence to be adduced by the parties and shall
                           promptly render a written opinion and award.

                  (c)      The arbitrators may not award or assess punitive
                           damages against either party.

                           costs of the arbitrators, subject to the power of the
                           arbitrators, in their sole discretion, to award all
                           such reasonable costs, expenses and fees to the
                           prevailing party.

parties hereto and each of their respective permitted successors and assigns.

                                 CONFIDENTIALITY

4.01  (a) As used  herein,  "Proprietary  Information"  shall  mean  information
disclosed, both orally and in writing, concerning the business of the disclosing
party  and/or the  businesses  of  current or  potential  third  party  vendors,
suppliers,  consultants,  contractors  and/or customers of the disclosing party,
including,  without limitation,  customer lists,  customer  addresses,  services
provided to specific  customers,  traffic and sales volumes,  customer  pricing,
equipment specifications, locations and use, network configurations,  capacities
and  capabilities,   current  or  prospective   relationship  with  vendors  and
independent  contractors (including,  without limitation,  information regarding
the  types  of  services  contracted  for and the cost of such  services  to the
disclosing  party),  implementation of technology,  data and programs,  finance,
sales,  marketing,  and development of telecommunication  and related technology
and services.  Such  information,  in whole or in part,  together with analyses,
compilations, programs, reports, proposals, studies, or any other documentation,
prepared by the disclosing  party or the other party,  as the case may be, which
contain or otherwise reflect or make reference to such  information,  whether or
not specifically marked as confidential by the Disclosing Party, are hereinafter
referred to as "Proprietary Information."
<PAGE>
(b) Level 3 and  Teligent  agree that if either  party  provides the other party
Proprietary   Information,   such  Proprietary  Information  shall  be  held  in
confidence,  and the receiving party shall afford such  Proprietary  Information
the same care and protection as it affords its own  confidential and proprietary
information  (which in any case shall be not less than reasonable care) in order
to avoid  disclosure  to or  unauthorized  use by any third  party.  The parties
acknowledge  and agree that all  information  disclosed  by either  party to the
other in  connection  with or pursuant to this  Agreement  shall be deemed to be
Proprietary Information,  provided that verbal information is indicated as being
confidential  or proprietary  when given.  All Proprietary  Information,  unless
otherwise  specified in writing,  shall  remain the  property of the  disclosing
party,  shall be used by the receiving party only for the intended purpose,  and
such written  Proprietary  Information,  including all copies thereof,  shall be
returned to the disclosing party or destroyed upon the request of the disclosing
party.  Proprietary  Information  shall not be  reproduced  except to the extent
necessary  to  accomplish  the  purpose  and  intent  of this  Agreement,  or as
otherwise may be permitted in writing by the disclosing party.

4.02 The foregoing provisions of Section 4.01 shall not apply to any Proprietary
Information  which  (i)  becomes  publicly  available  other  than  through  the
disclosing party; (ii) is required to be disclosed by a governmental or judicial
law,  order,  rule  or  regulation;  (iii)  is  independently  developed  by the
receiving  party;  or (iv) becomes  available  to the  receiving  party  without
restriction from a third party.

4.03   Notwithstanding   Sections  4.01  and  4.02  either  party  may  disclose
Proprietary Information to its employees,  agents, lenders, funding partners and
legal  and  financial   advisors  and  providers  to  the  extent  necessary  or
appropriate  in  connection  with the  negotiation  and/or  performance  of this
Agreement or in obtaining  financing,  provided that each such party is notified
of the confidential and proprietary  nature of such Proprietary  Information and
is  subject  to or agrees  to be bound by  similar  restrictions  on its use and
disclosure.

4.04 Upon execution of this Agreement, the parties shall mutually agree on press
announcements and releases,  by both parties,  announcing this Agreement and the
relationship  between  them.  The parties shall use good faith efforts to, on or
before May 9, 2000: i) agree upon the provisions of such press release;  and ii)
agree upon the information  which may be disclosed by the parties in response to
questions  raised as a result of any such press release.  The parties agree that
Teligent's  press  release  may  state  that  Teligent  is a Level 3  Strategic,
Preferred  Provider of fixed,  terrestrial,  high frequency,  wireless services.
Thereafter,  each party shall be permitted to discuss the general  nature of the
Agreement and  relationship  publicly in accordance with this Section 4 provided
that such discussions are consistent with and limited to matters  disclosed in a
previously approved press release.

4.05 In the event either party shall be required by law,  rule or  regulation to
disclose all or any part of this Agreement in, or attach all or any part of this
Agreement  to any  regulatory  filing or  statement,  each party  agrees that in
advance of such disclosure (unless compelled  otherwise by law) it shall discuss
and work cooperatively,  in good faith, with the other party, to protect, to the
extent possible, those items or matters which the other party deems confidential
and which may, in accordance with applicable laws, be deleted therefrom.

4.06 The provisions of this Article shall survive expiration or termination of
this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 10.
                  CONSTRUCTION AND INTERPRETATION OF AGREEMENT

         The language in all parts of this  Agreement and its Exhibits  shall in
all  cases be  construed  simply,  as a whole  and in  accordance  with its fair
meaning  and  not  strictly  for  or  against  any  party.  The  parties  hereto
acknowledge  and agree that this Agreement and its Exhibits have been negotiated
by the parties and been the subject of arm's length and careful negotiation over
a considerable period of time, that each party has been given the opportunity to
independently  review this  Agreement and its Exhibits with legal  counsel,  and
that each party has the requisite  experience and  sophistication to understand,
interpret  and  agree  to the  particular  language  of the  provisions  hereof.
Accordingly,  in  the  event  of  an  ambiguity  in  or  dispute  regarding  the
interpretation of this Agreement including its Exhibits,  this Agreement and its
Exhibits shall not be interpreted or construed against either party.

                                   ENFORCEMENT

         If any provision of this Agreement or any of its Exhibits, the deletion
of which  would not  adversely  affect the  receipt of any  material  benefit by
either party hereunder, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or unenforceable,  the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby and each other term and provision of this  Agreement  shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest  extent  permitted by law. It is the intention of the
parties to this  Agreement,  and the parties hereto agree,  that in lieu of each
clause or provision of this  Agreement or its Exhibits that is illegal,  invalid
or  unenforceable,  the  court  shall  supply  as a part  of this  Agreement  an
enforceable  clause or provision as similar in term to such illegal,  invalid or
unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible.

                                  FORCE MAJEURE

Except as may  otherwise  be  specifically  provided in this  Agreement  or its
Exhibits,  neither  party shall be in default of this  Agreement  or any Exhibit
hereof [REDACTED] if and to the extent that any failure or delay in such party's
performance  is caused by any of the following  conditions and is not the result
of the  negligence or willful  misconduct of the affected party and such party's
performance  shall be excused and extended for and during the period of any such
delay: act of God; fire;  flood;  shortages or  unavailability or other delay in
delivery not  resulting  from the  responsible  party's  failure to timely place
accurate  orders  therefore;  lack of or delay in  transportation  or  capacity;
government codes, ordinances,  laws, rules, regulations or restrictions;  war or
civil  disorder;  failure of a third party to  recognize a right or right of way
required  to deliver  any  service;  or any other  cause  beyond the  reasonable
control of a party.  A force majeure event may not be claimed by either party to
alleviate  an  obligation  of that party to make payment due  hereunder.  In the
event of a delay or failure of performance  under this section as respects Level
3's delivery of service which Level 3 reasonably  believes will last longer that
fourteen (14) days,  Level 3 shall, as soon as is reasonably  practicable,  give
written  notice of the same to Teligent  specifying  the nature and  anticipated
duration of the Force  Majeure  Event and outline its recovery plan with respect
to the Force Majeure Event,  including the anticipated time in which to complete
the same. [REDACTED]

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

13.01 Subject to the provisions of Article 14 of this Agreement,  Level 3 hereby
agrees  to  indemnify,  defend,  protect  and  hold  harmless  Teligent  and its
employees,  officers and directors, from and against, and assumes liability for:
(i) any claims,  causes of action or suits, and/or any injury, loss or damage to
any person,  tangible property or facilities of any person (including reasonable
attorneys'  fees and costs) to the extent  arising out of or resulting  from the
negligence or willful misconduct of Level 3, its officers, directors, employees,
servants,  affiliates,  agents,  contractors,  licensees,  invitees  and vendors
arising  out  of or in  connection  with  the  performance  by  Level  3 of  its
obligations  under this Agreement  including its Exhibits;  and (ii) any claims,
causes of action or suits,  and/or any liabilities or damages arising out of any
violation  by Level 3 of any  regulation,  rule,  statute or court  order of any
governmental  authority in  connection  with the  performance  by Level 3 of its
obligations under this Agreement including its Exhibits.
<PAGE>
13.02 Subject to the provisions of Article 14 of this Agreement, Teligent hereby
agrees  to  indemnify,  defend,  protect  and  hold  harmless  Level  3, and its
employees,  officers and directors, from and against, and assumes liability for:
(i) any claims,  causes of action or suits, and/or any injury, loss or damage to
any person,  tangible property or facilities of any person (including reasonable
attorneys'  fees and costs) to the extent  arising out of or resulting  from the
negligence  or  willful  misconduct  of  Teligent,   its  officers,   directors,
employees, servants,  affiliates,  agents, contractors,  licensees, invitees and
vendors  arising out of or in  connection  with the  exercise by Teligent of its
rights under this Agreement including its Exhibits;  and (ii) any claims, causes
of action  or suits,  and/or  any  liabilities  or  damages  arising  out of any
violation  by Teligent of any  regulation,  rule,  statute or court order of any
governmental authority in connection with the exercise by Teligent of its rights
under this Agreement including its Exhibits.

13.03 Level 3 and Teligent both agree that they will protect,  indemnify, defend
and hold the other party hereto harmless from any action brought by that parties
end users  against  the other  party  hereto  relating to or arising out of this
Agreement.

13.04 Level 3 and Teligent  agree to promptly  provide each other with notice of
any claim  which may  result in an  indemnification  obligation  hereunder.  The
indemnifying  party may  defend  such claim  with  counsel  of its own  choosing
provided  that no settlement or compromise of any such claim shall occur without
the consent of the  indemnified  party,  which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

13.05  Level  3 and  Teligent  each  expressly  recognize  and  agree  that  its
obligation to indemnify,  defend,  protect and save the other  harmless is not a
material obligation to the continuing  performance of its other obligations,  if
any,  hereunder.  In the  event  that a party  shall  fail for any  reason to so
indemnify, defend, protect and save the other harmless, the injured party hereby
expressly  recognizes  that its sole  remedy in such event shall be the right to
bring legal  proceedings  against the other party for its damages as a result of
the other party's said failure to indemnify,  defend, protect and save harmless.
These  obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement
and any of its Exhibits.

                                   ARTICLE 14.

EXHIBITS,  IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER  PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR  INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL,  CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EVEN IF THAT
PARTY HAS BEEN  ADVISED OF THE  POSSIBILITY  OF SUCH  DAMAGES  ARISING  FROM ANY
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF USE, INCOME OR
PROFITS, OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS.

Nothing  contained  herein shall  operate as a limitation on the right of either
party hereto to bring an action for damages  against any third party,  including
claims for  indirect,  special or  consequential  damages,  based on any acts or
omissions of such third party.

                                     WAIVER

The failure of either  party to insist  upon the  performance  of any  provision
herein or to exercise any right or privilege granted to it hereunder,  shall not
be construed as a waiver of such  provision or any  provisions  herein,  and the
same shall  continue in full force.  The various rights and remedies given to or
reserved by either party herein or allowed by law, shall be  cumulative,  and no
delay or omission to exercise  any of its rights  shall be construed as a waiver
of any  default  or  acquiescence,  nor  shall any  waiver of any  breach of any
provision be considered a condonement or any continuing or subsequent  breach of
the same provision.

Exhibit:  i) upon 30 days  written  Notice  to the  other  party if there is any

observe  or perform  the terms and  provisions  of this  Agreement  (other  than

                                  SYSTEM ROUTE

2.01 The  Grantor  System  will  connect  the points  identified  on Exhibit "A"
attached  hereto  (each  point  identified  on  Exhibit  "A" is herein  called a
"Segment  End Point",  the route  between the  applicable  Segment End Points is
herein  called a "Segment",  and all of the Segments  together are herein called
the "System  Route").  The Grantor  System will include the  "Lateral  Segments"
(each of which shall be  considered a "Segment"  for purposes  hereof),  if any,
identified in Exhibit "A". The cumulative  Route Miles for all Segments  ordered
by Grantee pursuant to this Agreement are [REDACTED].  Grantee further agrees to
purchase [REDACTED] additional Grantee Fibers from all of the Segments listed in
Exhibit  "G" when  the same are  available  for  delivery  by Level 3,  bringing
Grantees  total fiber miles to [REDACTED].  Grantee  further agrees to purchase,
within six (6) months of the date of signing the Agreement, additional available
fiber so that the total fiber mileage for Grantee  Fibers  hereunder is at least
[REDACTED]  miles (the  "Minimum  Purchase  Commitment").  Grantee  shall inform
Grantor,  in writing,  of the number of additional Grantee Fibers within six (6)
months from the date of this Agreement. Grantee may satisfy the Minimum Purchase
Commitment only by purchase  [REDACTED] in entire Segments (partial Segments may
not be purchased). In the event Grantee does not inform Grantor of the number of
Grantee  Fibers  desired  necessary to satisfy the Minimum  Purchase  Commitment
within the time  frames set forth  herein,  , then the  [REDACTED]  Fees for the
Minimum  Purchase  Commitment  shall  commence  and be due and  payable  for the
balance of the Term (even though Grantee had not satisfied the Minimum  Purchase
Commitment).

2.02 The  specific  location of the System Route  between  Segment End Points is
subject to change in the sole discretion of Grantor;  however,  the System Route
will connect the Segment End Points for each Segment.

                                   ARTICLE 3.
                                GRANT OF LICENSE

3.01 As of the  Effective  Date for each  particular  Segment of  Grantee  Fiber
delivered by Grantor to Grantee hereunder, Grantor hereby grants to Grantee, and
Grantee  hereby  acquires from Grantor,  [REDACTED]  for the purposes  described
herein,  the  number  of  fibers  set forth in  Exhibit  "A" to be  specifically
identified  in the Cable  between the Segment End Points for such  Segment  (the
"Grantee Fibers"), and an associated and non-exclusive license, for the purposes
described herein, in the Associated Property  respecting such Segment,  all upon
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

3.02  Grantee may, by written  notice (a "Fiber  Upgrade  Notice")  delivered to
Grantor,  inform  Grantor that  Grantee  desires to purchase  [REDACTED]  to use
additional  fibers (whether of the same type as the Grantee Fibers or otherwise)
either (a) along the same  System  Route as the  Grantee  Fibers,  or (b) within
planned  extensions  to the  then-existing  Grantor  System.  In the event  that
Grantor subsequently  determines to install such additional fibers, then Grantor
shall notify Grantee of such determination.
<PAGE>
3.03 In the event that Grantee has delivered a Fiber Upgrade  Notice and Grantor
has  received  such  notice  prior to its  determination  to install  additional
fibers,  Grantor and Grantee shall negotiate in good faith concerning  Grantee's
acquisition  of  [REDACTED]  a  portion  of such  additional  fibers  (including
negotiation  of the  additional  fees due and  payable by Grantee for the use of
such  additional  fibers).  The Term for use of any additional  fibers shall be,
unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties,  for a period which commences
upon  delivery  of such  additional  fibers  and which  ends  twenty  (20) years
thereafter;  provided,  however,  that to the extent such extended term requires
Grantor to extend or renew a  Required  Right,  Grantor  shall have the right to
increase  the  Monthly  Charge  in order to  reflect,  in  Grantor's  reasonable
discretion,  the pass  through  (on a pro rata  basis  based  upon the number of
fibers  within  the  Grantor  System) of any  increase  in the  payments,  fees,
charges,  costs or other  expenses  incurred  or to be  incurred  by  Grantor in
connection with the extension or renewal of such Required Right. Notwithstanding
anything  else in this  Agreement  to the  contrary,  the  failure of Grantor to
notify Grantee of its  determination to install  additional fibers under Section
3.02,  or the failure of the parties to  successfully  negotiate  the terms of a
[REDACTED] such additional  fibers,  shall not constitute a default or breach of
this  Agreement  hereunder  and  neither  Grantee  nor  Grantor  shall  have any
liability  to the other for the  performance,  or the  failure to  perform,  any
obligations imposed under Sections 3.02 or 3.03 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE 4.
                                      FEES

4.01  Grantee  agrees to pay,  as  compensation  for  Grantor's  performance  of
incremental design, engineering,  planning and development of the Grantee Fibers
(including but not limited to the Lateral Segments), the [REDACTED] set forth in
Exhibit "B".

4.02 Grantee further agrees to pay, as  compensation  for the use of the Grantee
Fibers, the [REDACTED] Fee as set forth in Exhibit "B". The [REDACTED] Fee shall
be due and  payable  in full,  and  Grantee  shall  have no right of  offset  or
deduction with respect to any installment of the [REDACTED] Fee due hereunder.

4.03 Grantee further agrees to pay, as  compensation  for the  construction  and
installation  of Grantee Fiber within the Lateral  Segments and as  compensation
for the use  thereof,  the  amounts  as set forth on Exhibit  "B" (the  "Lateral
Segment Fee").

4.04 In  addition  to the  foregoing  amounts,  Grantee  shall pay  directly  or
reimburse  Grantor  for all  other  sums,  costs,  fees and  expenses  which are
expressly provided to be paid by Grantee under this Agreement.
<PAGE>
4.05 The  [REDACTED]  Fees shall be as stated in Exhibit "B". The [REDACTED] Fee
shall  commence on the  Acceptance  Date for each Segment,  and will be invoiced
[REDACTED] in accordance with the Agreement.

4.06 All payments made by Grantee  hereunder shall be made without any deduction
or  withholding  for or on account of any tax, duty or other charges of whatever
nature imposed by any taxing or government authority (collectively, "Taxes"). If
either  Grantee or Grantor are or were  required by law to make any deduction or
withholding  from any payment due  hereunder to Grantor,  then,  notwithstanding
anything to the contrary  contained in this Agreement,  the gross amount payable
by Grantee shall be increased so that,  after any such  deduction or withholding
for Taxes,  the net amount  received  by Grantor  will not be less than  Grantor
would have received had no such deduction or withholding  been required.  If any
taxing or government authority asserts that Grantee should have made a deduction
or  withholding  for or on account of any Taxes with respect to all or a portion
of the payments made  hereunder,  or that Grantor should have collected  certain
Taxes from Grantee  which  Grantor did not  collect,  Grantee  hereby  agrees to
indemnify Grantor for such Taxes and hold Grantor harmless on an after-tax basis
from and  against  any  Taxes,  interest  or  penalties  levied or  asserted  in
connection  therewith.  . Taxes will be separately stated in Grantor's invoices.
In the event  Grantee is exempt  from  paying any taxes,  Grantee  will  provide
Grantor with appropriate documentation of such exemption.

                                   ARTICLE 5.
                                      TERM

5.01 The [REDACTED]  with respect to each Segment shall become  effective on the
first day when both (i) the  Acceptance  Date with respect to the Grantee Fibers
within a Segment has occurred and (ii) Grantor has received  payment of all fees
and charged due under this  Exhibit as of the  Acceptance  Date (the  "Effective
Date").  Subject to the provisions of Article 20, the [REDACTED] with respect to
the Grantee Fibers within each Segment shall  terminate on the twentieth  (20th)
anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Term").

5.02 Upon the expiration of the Term respecting a Segment, [REDACTED], Grantee's
rights to use the Grantee Fibers shall revert to Grantor  without  reimbursement
of any of the [REDACTED] Fee or other sums, costs,  fees or expenses  previously
made with respect  thereto,  and from and after such time Grantee  shall have no
further rights or obligations  hereunder with respect thereto unless such rights
or obligations are specifically provided herein to survive the Term.

5.03  Subject to Article 20, this  Exhibit  shall  become  effective on the date
hereof and shall  terminate on the date when all the Terms of the Segments shall
have expired or terminated, except that those provisions of this Agreement which
are expressly  provided herein to survive such termination  shall remain binding
on the parties hereto.

                                   ARTICLE 6.
                                 REQUIRED RIGHTS

6.01  Grantor  agrees to obtain  and  maintain  in full force and effect for and
during the Term of each Segment all rights, licenses,  permits,  authorizations,
rights-of-way, easements and other agreements which are necessary for Grantor to
obtain in order to permit Grantor to construct,  install and keep installed, and
maintain  the  Grantee  Fibers  within  such  Segment  in  accordance  with this
Agreement  and to convey the  license in the  Grantee  Fibers to Grantee and all
other rights under this Agreement (collectively, the "Required Rights"). Grantee
shall obtain,  prior to the commencement of the Term, and maintain in full force
and  effect  for and  during  the Term of each  Segment  all  rights,  licenses,
permits, authorizations,  franchises and other approvals which are necessary for
Grantee to obtain in order to permit Grantor to grant the license to Grantee and
for Grantee to use the Grantee Fibers.

6.02 In the event Grantor shall receive notice from any grantor or provider of a
Required  Right that  Grantor has failed to observe or perform  its  obligations
under such  Required  Right,  and  Grantor is not  contesting  in good faith the
validity of such claimed or alleged  failure,  Grantor shall give written notice
to Grantee and Grantee may, at its option  (subject to the terms and  provisions
of the  Required  Right and the  ability of third  parties to cure  defaults  of
Grantor  thereunder),  cure or correct such failure and Grantor shall  reimburse
Grantee for the costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in connection therewith.

6.03 If,  after the  Acceptance  Date with  respect  to a  Segment,  Grantor  is
required (i) by any Governmental  Authority under the power of eminent domain or
otherwise,  (ii) by the grantor or provider of any Required Right,  (iii) by any
other Person having the authority to so require (each a "Relocating Authority"),
or (iv) by the  occurrence of any Force Majeure  Event,  to relocate the Grantor
System within such Segment or any portion thereof,  Grantor shall have the right
to either  proceed  with such  relocation,  including,  but not  limited to, the
right,  in good faith,  to  reasonably  determine  the extent and timing of, and
methods  to be  used  for,  such  relocation,  or to  pay  such  amounts  to the
Relocating  Authority as are  necessary  to avoid the need for such  relocation.
Grantee shall be kept fully  informed of all  determinations  made by Grantor in
connection with such  relocation,  and any such relocation  shall be constructed
substantially  in accordance with the construction  specifications  set forth in
Exhibit "C", incorporate fiber meeting or exceeding the specifications set forth
in Exhibit "D" and be subject to Acceptance  Testing Procedures and Standards in
Exhibit "B." Grantee shall reimburse Grantor for its proportionate  share of the
Costs (including  Acceptance  Testing and including amounts paid to a Relocating
Authority to avoid relocation) related to such relocation (to the extent Grantor
has not been  reimbursed by the Relocating  Authority)  allocated to Grantee pro
rata  based on the number of Grantee  Fibers  and the total  fiber  count in the
affected Segments of the Grantor System.

                       CONSTRUCTION OF THE GRANTOR SYSTEM

7.01 Grantor will design,  engineer,  install and construct  the Grantor  System
substantially  in accordance with the construction  specifications  set forth in
Exhibit "C", in a workmanlike  manner and in accordance with industry  standards
and  all  applicable  laws.  Such   responsibilities   shall  include,   without
limitation,  preparation of construction drawings,  materials specifications and
materials  requisitions.  The Grantee  Fibers and the conduit  housing the Cable
shall meet or exceed the fiber and conduit  specifications  set forth in Exhibit
"D".   Nothing   contained   herein  shall  prohibit   Grantor  from  commencing
construction  of a portion of a Segment before Grantor has obtained all Required
Rights necessary for all of such Segment.

7.02     Grantor will undertake the Acceptance Testing of each of the Segments.

7.03  Occupancy by Grantee in any Grantor  Gateway  Facility shall be subject to
the execution of a separate colocation  agreement in form mutually acceptable to
both Grantor and Grantee.

7.04  Grantor and Grantee  will  consult  with each other from time to time upon
request to attempt to coordinate  construction  of the Grantor System with other
network construction which may be undertaken by Grantee.

7.05     [REDACTED]

7.06  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained  herein,  Grantor may
elect,  at its option,  to acquire any portion of the Grantor  System from third
parties  (whether  under a  lease,  sublease,  indefeasible  right  of  use,  or
otherwise  (so long as such rights are  sufficient  to grant Grantee its license
hereunder)) in lieu of constructing and installing the Grantor System respecting
such  portion;  provided,  any  such  acquired  portion  shall  be or have  been
constructed  substantially in accordance with the  specifications and procedures
required  by this  Agreement  except for such  deviations  which do not,  in the
reasonable discretion of Grantor,  materially diminish the utility,  reliability
or expected useful life of the Grantor System. [REDACTED]

                                   ARTICLE 8.
                                LATERAL SEGMENTS

8.01 In the event that  Grantee  desires to have Grantor  construct  and install
additional  Lateral Segments (other than those listed in Exhibit "A") during the
Term,  Grantee may request (in writing)  that Grantor  perform  construction  of
same. Upon receipt of such a request,  Grantor shall  determine  whether it will
construct such additional Lateral Segments; Grantor shall be under no obligation
to construct additional Lateral Segments,  and Grantee shall not be obligated to
contract with Grantor for the construction of any Lateral Segments.
<PAGE>
8.02 A "Targeted  Lateral  Segment"  is a Lateral  Segment to connect a location
where  Grantor  has,  at the time the  written  request  is  submitted,  already
committed  to build and for which  Grantor has  secured or reserved  funding for
construction  (including those Lateral  Segments  identified as Targeted Lateral
Segments on Exhibit "A").  Any Lateral  Segment that is not a "Targeted  Lateral
Segment"  (as of the date of  Grantee's  request for fiber  within such  Lateral
Segment) shall be a "Non-Targeted  Lateral  Segment".  In the event that Grantee
requests  construction of additional  Lateral Segments and Grantor determines to
construct  same,  then  (unless  otherwise  agreed by the  parties)  the Lateral
Segment  Fee  respecting  each  such  Lateral  Segment  shall be  determined  in
accordance with Exhibit "B".

8.03 When physically and  economically  prudent (as determined in Grantor's sole
discretion),  Grantor will construct all Targeted Lateral Segments  diversely to
Grantor's  point of presence only (i.e.,  two distinct  physical  routes will be
used to connect  the  Segment  End Point on the  Grantor's  backbone  network to
Grantor's  point of presence  within or near the  targeted  building).  Building
entrance facilities,  or riser facilities within any building, may or may not be
diverse in Grantor's sole discretion. Grantor shall have discretion to determine
the design and route of all Lateral Segments  (including  decisions  relating to
the location or  locations  of the Segment End  Points).  In the event that (for
Lateral  Segments other than those listed in Exhibit "A") Grantor  determines to
construct a Lateral Segment diversely,  Grantee may (by written notice delivered
no later that ten (10) days after Grantee is informed of Grantor's determination
to construct such Lateral Segment  diversely) elect not to use fibers within the
diverse return route for such Lateral  Segment,  in which event Grantee shall be
entitled to use Grantee  Fibers  within only the  point-to-point  section of the
Lateral  Segment and the Lateral  Segment Fee for such Grantee  Segment shall be
based on the Costs of construction  only for such  point-to-point  section.  The
foregoing  not  withstanding,  Level 3 agrees that with  respect to the Targeted
Lateral  Segments  identified in Exhibit "A" hereto,  that such laterals will be
constructed  diversely.  All other laterals  subsequently  agreed to between the
parties shall be priced and constructed as agreed to between them.

8.04  [REDACTED]  Grantor  shall keep  Grantee  informed of the progress of work
necessary to complete  such  construction,  but Grantee shall not be entitled to
any liquidated damages (as set forth in Section 20.03) related to the failure to
complete construction on or before the date specified in Exhibit "A."

                                   ARTICLE 9.
                        ACCEPTANCE TESTING AND COMPLETION

9.01 Grantor shall test the Grantee Fibers in accordance with the procedures and
standards  specified in Exhibit "E" ("Acceptance  Testing").  Acceptance Testing
shall progress span by span along each Segment as cable splicing progresses,  so
that  test  results  may be  reviewed  in a  timely  manner.  Grantee  shall  be
responsible for the timely  completion of any work or  installation  required in
order for it to place the Grantee Fibers into  operation (and Grantee's  failure
to  complete  such work  shall not be  grounds  for  rejection  of a  Completion
Notice). Grantee shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Grantee's cost
and expense,  to be present to observe the  Acceptance  Testing.  Grantor  shall
provide Grantee with a copy of such test results.
<PAGE>
9.02  Upon the  successful  completion  of  Acceptance  Testing  respecting  any
Segment,  Grantor shall provide written notice of same to Grantee (a "Completion
Notice").  Grantor shall contemporaneously  deliver a copy of the results of the
Acceptance Testing for the entire Segment (if and to the extent that Grantor has
not previously  delivered  same) and Grantee shall,  within  [REDACTED]  days of
receipt of the Completion Notice,  either accept or reject the Completion Notice
(Grantee  shall be  permitted  to reject  only if Grantee  specifies  a material
failure of the Grantee Fibers to satisfy the  requirements of this Agreement) by
delivery  of  written  notice to  Grantor.  In the  event  Grantee  rejects  the
Completion Notice, Grantor shall promptly,  and at no cost to Grantee,  commence
to remedy  the defect or  failure  specified  in  Grantee's  notice.  Thereafter
Grantor shall again conduct Acceptance  Testing and (if successfully  completed)
provide Grantee a Completion Notice with respect to such Segment.  The foregoing
procedure  shall  apply  again and  successively  thereafter  until  Grantor has
remedied all defects or failures specified by Grantee. Any failure by Grantee to
timely reject a Completion  Notice,  or any use of the Grantee Fibers by Grantee
for any purpose other than testing, shall be deemed to constitute acceptance for
purposes  of this  Agreement  and  Grantee  shall be deemed to have  delivered a
notice of acceptance  upon such use or on the  [REDACTED]  after delivery of the
Completion Notice. [REDACTED]

                                   ARTICLE 10.
                             INTERCONNECTION POINTS

10.01  Grantee  shall  have  the  right to  request  that  Grantor  interconnect
Grantee's  communications  system  with the  Grantee  Fibers at the  Segment End
Points and such other points as are  determined and designated by Grantor in its
sole  discretion  during  the  design,  engineering  and  permitting  phases  of
construction  ("Interconnection  Points").  None of the  Interconnection  Points
shall be in any portion of the Grantor System which transits  Canada unless such
interconnection can be accomplished in a fashion which, in Grantor's  judgement,
will not cause either  Grantor or Grantee to be in violation of applicable  laws
or regulations.

10.02  Grantor  may route the  Grantee  Fibers  through  Grantor's  space in any
Grantor Gateway Facilities, in Grantor's sole discretion;  provided such routing
shall not  materially  adversely  affect  Grantee's use of the Grantee Fibers or
Associated Property hereunder and Grantor shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses associated therewith.

10.03 Any work  respecting the Grantor System or the Grantee Fibers  required by
Grantee,  including  (a) splicing of the Grantee  Fibers,  or (b) changes in the
configuration  or other  changes  relating to Grantee's  space or racks shall be
undertaken only by Grantor at Grantee's  request and shall be performed within a
reasonable amount of time consistent with industry accepted  practices;  Grantee
shall (except with respect to splicing and incidental work at Segment End Points
(and such other  points) as previously  identified  between the parties prior to
the execution of this  Agreement,  the costs for which have been included in the
payments due hereunder)  reimburse  Grantor for all Costs incurred in connection
therewith,  plus a management  fee equal to  [REDACTED]  of such Costs.  Grantee
shall  have no right to  perform  work on or  otherwise  physically  access  the
Grantor System, except as expressly provided herein.

                                   ARTICLE 11.
                                   OPERATIONS

11.01 Subject to the access  restrictions set forth in Article 10, Grantee shall
(at its full cost and expense) have full and complete control and responsibility
for  determining  any  network  and service  configuration  or designs,  routing
configurations,  re-grooming,  rearrangement  or  consolidation  of  channels or
circuits and all related functions with regard to the use of the Grantee Fibers;
provided,  such control and responsibility by Grantee shall not adversely affect
the use by any other  Person of the  Grantor  System  and/or any  electronic  or
optronic equipment used by such Person in connection therewith.

11.02  Grantee  acknowledges  and agrees that  Grantor is not  supplying  nor is
Grantor  obligated to supply to Grantee any optronic or electronic  equipment or
related facilities,  all of which are the sole responsibility of Grantee, nor is
Grantor  responsible  for  performing  any work other than as  specified in this
Agreement.

11.03 Upon not less than one  hundred  twenty  (120) days  written  notice  from
Grantor to Grantee  with  respect to  "Operating  Grantee  Fibers"  (as  defined
below),  Grantor may, at its option substitute for the Grantee Fibers within any
Segment or Segments,  or any portions  thereof,  an equal number of  alternative
fibers within such Segment or portion thereof (which shall thereafter constitute
Grantee Fiber  hereunder),  provided that in such event,  such  substitution (i)
shall be effected at the sole cost of Grantor,  including,  without  limitation,
all disconnect and reconnect costs, fees and expenses; (ii) shall be constructed
substantially in accordance with the  specifications and procedures set forth in
Exhibit  "C",   incorporate   fiber  and  conduit   meeting  or  exceeding   the
specifications  set forth in Exhibit "D", and be tested in  accordance  with the
Acceptance  Testing;  (iii)  shall not  change any  Segment  End Points or other
Interconnection  Points;  and (iv) Grantor shall use all  reasonable  good faith
efforts to minimize any  interruption  in the operation of the Grantee Fibers in
accordance  with Article 20 of the  Agreement.  Substitution  of Grantee  Fibers
shall not affect or extend the Term with  respect to the fibers so  substituted.
For purposes of the  foregoing,  "Operating  Grantee  Fibers" shall mean Grantee
Fibers which have been jumpered to Grantee's space or equipment at a Segment End
Point.  Grantor may substitute  Grantee  Fibers which are not Operating  Grantee
Fibers at any time during the Term without notice to Grantee  (provided that, in
the event  Grantor has  substituted  the Grantee  Fibers,  then at the time such
Grantee  requests  that its fibers be  jumpered to its space or  equipment,  the
substituted  Grantee Fibers will be tested in accordance  with the provisions of
this Agreement).

                  MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE GRANTOR SYSTEM

From and after the Effective Date with respect to each Segment,  the maintenance
of the Grantor  System within such Segment shall be provided in accordance  with
the  maintenance  requirements  and procedures set forth in Exhibit "F" attached
hereto.  The costs of all Scheduled  Maintenance  (as defined in Exhibit "F") of
the Grantee  Fibers  shall be borne by Grantor as a part of the Monthly  Charge;
however,  Grantee shall  reimburse  Grantor for its  proportionate  share of the
Costs of any Unscheduled Maintenance (as defined in Exhibit "F") (if but only if
(i) the  total  Costs of such  Unscheduled  Maintenance  exceeds  five  thousand
dollars ($5,000.00) or (ii) Grantee is the sole user of the Cable),  which Costs
shall be allocated to Grantee pro rata based on the number of Grantee Fibers and
the total fiber count in the affected portion of the Grantor System.

                                 MONTHLY CHARGE

13.01  Grantor  shall be  responsible  for the payment of the costs of Scheduled
Maintenance of the Grantor System (as defined in Exhibit "F").

13.02 In  consideration  of  Grantor's  responsibilities  under  Section  13.01,
subject to the  adjustments  described in Section  13.03,  Grantee  shall pay to
Grantor each month during each year,  with respect to each  Segment,  commencing
with the Acceptance Date of such Segment and continuing  until the expiration of
the Term with respect to such Segment shall have occurred,  the product obtained
when:  (a)  [REDACTED]  is  multiplied  by (b) the number of Route Miles in such
Segment (the "Monthly Charge").

13.03  The  Monthly  Charge  shall  be  increased  on  each  anniversary  of the
Acceptance Date of the first Segment in which Grantee will receive [REDACTED] by
the increase,  if any, in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (CPI-U),
U.S. City Average, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics (1982-84 = 100), for the preceding twelve (12) month period. In
the event such index shall cease to be computed or  published,  Grantor  may, in
its reasonable discretion, designate a successor index to be used in determining
any increase to the Monthly Charge.

13.04 The Monthly Charge shall be paid each year by Grantee in twelve (12) equal
installments  due and payable on the first day of each  month.  In the event the
Acceptance Date or termination of the Term of a Segment occurs other than on the

                                   IMPOSITIONS

14.01  Grantor  and  Grantee  acknowledge  and  agree  that it is  their  mutual
objective and intent to (i) minimize, to the extent feasible, the administrative
expenses  associated with and the aggregate  Impositions payable with respect to
the  Grantor  System and the  Grantee  Fibers  and (ii)  share such  Impositions
according to their  respective  interests in the Grantor  System and the Grantee
Fibers, and that they will cooperate with each other and coordinate their mutual
efforts to achieve such  objectives  in accordance  with the  provisions of this
Article.
<PAGE>
14.02  Grantor  shall  be  responsible  for  and  shall  timely  pay any and all
Impositions  with respect to the construction or operation of the Grantor System
which  Impositions  are imposed or assessed  prior to the  Acceptance  Date of a
Segment. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, Grantor shall have the right
to challenge any such  Impositions so long as the challenge of such  Impositions
does not  materially  adversely  affect  the rights to be  delivered  to Grantee
pursuant hereto.

14.03  Following  the  Acceptance  Date for each Grantor  System and except with
respect to Impositions constituting ad valorem property taxes levied against the
Grantee  Fibers  (which are  addressed in Section  14.04  below),  Grantor shall
timely pay any and all Impositions  imposed upon or with respect to each Grantor
System to the  extent  such  Impositions  have not been or may not  feasibly  be
separately  assessed or imposed  upon or against  the  respective  interests  of
Grantor and Grantee in such Grantor System. Upon receipt of a notice of any such
Imposition, Grantor shall promptly notify Grantee of such Imposition and Grantee
shall pay or reimburse Grantor for its  proportionate  share of such Imposition,
which  share  shall be  determined  (i) to the extent  possible,  based upon the
manner and methodology used by the particular  Governmental  Authority  imposing
such Imposition (e.g., on the cost of the relative property interests,  historic
or projected revenue derived therefrom,  or any combination thereof); or (ii) if
the same cannot be so determined,  then based upon Grantee's proportionate share
of the total fiber count in the affected portion of the Grantor System.

14.04  Following the  Acceptance  Date for each Grantor System and except to the
extent  prohibited by applicable laws or regulations,  Grantee shall  separately
file  returns for and pay any and all ad valorem  property  taxes  imposed on or
assessed  against  the  Grantee  Fibers.  In the event that  applicable  laws or
regulations  require  Grantor to file  returns for and pay any or all ad valorem
property taxes imposed on or assessed against the Grantee Fibers,  Grantor shall
do so and Grantor shall be entitled to reimbursement from Grantee (under Section
14.03) for the ad valorem  property tax  payments  made  respecting  the Grantee
Fibers.

14.05  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,  Grantor shall have
the right to reasonably  contest any Imposition  assessed against it, (including
by nonpayment of such  Imposition  provided such  nonpayment does not materially
adversely  affect the rights to be delivered to Grantee  pursuant  hereto).  The
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred
by Grantor in any such  contest  shall be shared by Grantor  and  Grantee in the
same  proportion as to which the parties would have shared in such  Impositions,
as they were  originally  assessed.  Any  refunds  or credits  resulting  from a
contest  brought  pursuant to this Section shall be divided  between Grantor and
Grantee in the same proportion as to which such refunded or credited Impositions
were borne by Grantor and Grantee.  Grantor  acknowledges that Grantee has taken
positions in certain legal proceedings, including Teligent v. Dallas, concerning
the imposition of franchise fees and other  rights-of-way fees on fixed wireless
carriers.  Grantee  reserves the right to take positions that may be contrary to
those of Grantor regarding Impositions. [REDACTED]
<PAGE>
14.06 Grantor and Grantee agree to cooperate in the  preparation  of any returns
or reports relating to the Impositions.  Grantor and Grantee further acknowledge
and agree that the  provisions  of this  Article are  intended  to allocate  the
Impositions  expected to be assessed  against or imposed  upon the parties  with
respect  to the  Grantor  System  based  upon  the  procedures  and  methods  of
computation  by which  Impositions  generally  have been assessed and imposed to
date, and that material  changes in the procedures and methods of computation by
which such  assessments are assessed and imposed could  significantly  alter the
fundamental  economic assumptions  underlying the transactions  hereunder to the
parties.  Accordingly,  Grantor  and Grantee  agree  that,  if in the future the
procedures  or methods of  computation  by which  Impositions  are  assessed  or
imposed against the parties change  materially from the procedures or methods of
computation  by which they are imposed as of the date  hereof,  the parties will
negotiate in good faith an amendment to the  provisions of this Article in order
to preserve,  to the extent reasonably possible,  the economic intent and effect
of this Article as of the date hereof.

System free from any liens,  rights or claims of any third party attributable to
Grantee.  Grantee  further  agrees that any  conveyance  of its right to use the
Grantee  Fibers  shall in all  events be  subject to the terms set forth in this
Agreement,  and that Grantee  shall not convey or purport to convey to any third
party  rights that are greater  than the rights  accorded to Grantee  under this
Agreement.

15.03  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained  in this  Agreement,
Grantee  covenants and agrees that Grantee shall not, that Grantee shall have no
right to, and that  Grantor may enjoin  Grantee  from any  attempt  to,  assign,
sublicense or otherwise  transfer the Grantee Fibers to anyone as Dark Fiber for
a period of four (4) years after the  Acceptance  Date for such Grantee  Fibers.
For purposes hereof,  "Dark Fiber" shall mean fiber provided without  electronic
and/or optronic equipment and which is not "lit" or activated.

15.04  Grantee  shall  not use the  Grantee  Fibers  in a way  which  physically
interferes in any way with or otherwise adversely affects the use of the fibers,
cable or conduit of any other Person using the Grantor System.
<PAGE>
15.05  Grantee  and  Grantor  shall  promptly  notify  each other of any matters
pertaining  to, or the  occurrence  (or impending  occurrence)  of, any event of
which it is aware that could give rise to any damage or  impending  damage to or
loss of the Grantor System.

15.06  Grantee and Grantor  agree to  cooperate  with and support  each other in
complying  with any  requirements  applicable  to their  respective  rights  and
obligations hereunder by any Governmental Authority.

(iv) Grantee fails to observe and perform any other terms and provisions of this
Agreement,  and such  failure  continues  for a period of thirty (30) days after
written  notice from  Grantor (or if such failure is not  susceptible  of a cure
within such thirty (30) day period,  cure has not been  commenced and diligently
pursued  thereafter to completion),  then Grantor may (A) terminate this Exhibit
and the Term,  in whole or in part, in which event Grantor shall have no further

respect to the Grantee  Fibers  shall be limited to the  particular  vendor's or
manufacturer's  warranty and such  warranties with respect to the Grantee Fibers
shall be assigned to Grantee upon its request.  In the event any  maintenance or
repairs  to the  Grantor  System  are  required  as a result  of a breach of any
warranty made by any manufacturers, contractors or vendors, unless Grantee shall
elect to pursue such remedies itself,  Grantor shall pursue all remedies against
such  manufacturers,  contractors  or vendors on behalf of Grantee,  and Grantor
shall reimburse  Grantee's  costs for any maintenance  Grantee has incurred as a
result of any such breach of warranty to the extent the manufacturer, contractor
or  vendor  pays  such  costs.  Grantor  will  provide  Grantee  with  copies of
applicable vendor warranties within 60 days of execution of this Agreement.

          Metropolitan (Local Loop) Network Construction Specifications

The intent of this  Exhibit  is to  delineate  the  general  specifications  and
standards for construction of the Grantor System within  metropolitan  networks.
In the event any federal,  state,  local or private  agency having  jurisdiction
shall impose  higher  standards,  Grantor will comply and conform to such higher
standards.  Grantor may deviate from the specifications and standards  described
below in those instances  where either (i) strict  compliance is impractical due
to physical (including  environmental)  conditions,  right-of-way issues or code
restrictions,  or (ii) Grantor has acquired a portion of the Grantor System from
a third party.

 Metropolitan (Local Loop) Network Fiber, Conduit and Cable Vault Specifications

The intent of this Exhibit is to delineate the manufacturer  specifications  for
the Grantee  Fibers and the conduit  and cable vault  systems  housing the Cable
within  their  metropolitan   networks.   Grantor  may  also  deviate  from  the
specifications and standards described below in those instances where either (i)
strict  compliance  is  impractical  due to physical  (including  environmental)
conditions,  right-of-way  issues  or code  restrictions,  or (ii)  Grantor  has
acquired a portion of the Grantor System from a third party.

                                    1. Fiber

o        In the  metropolitan  segments,  single mode fiber will be used. In any
         case where the routes for Grantor's intercity and metropolitan networks
         converge,  Grantor  shall  have the  right to elect to  install  either
         non-zero dispersion-shifted optical fiber or single mode fiber. Grantor
         may  substitute  alternative  fibers  if and  only if such  alternative
         fibers have performance  specifications which are at least equal to the
         specifications set forth below:

Single Mode Fiber

         [REDACTED]

                                   Exhibit "E"
Metropolitan (Local Loop) Network Fiber Acceptance Testing Procedures and
  Standards

The  intent  of this  Exhibit  is to  identify  the  fiber  acceptances  testing
procedures  and  standards  used  within the  Grantor's  metropolitan  networks.
Deviations from these  specifications may occur if Grantor acquires a portion of
the Grantor System from a third party pursuant to the Agreement.

1.       All  splices  shall be  fusion  spliced.  Mechanical  splices  are only
         allowed during  temporary  restoration and will be replaced with fusion
         splices.
2.       Fibers shall be terminated with Ultra SC-PC connectors  (typical return
         loss of 0.50 dB).
3.       After  end-to-end  connectivity  on  the  fibers  has  been  completed,
         bi-directional  OTDR span and power meter  testing  will be  completed.
         Grantor  shall perform tests after the fiber cable is installed and the
         splicing  enclosures have been completed and are in their final resting
         configuration  with the cable  vault or hand hole covers  closed.  This
         ensures that no micro or macro bending problems with the cable or fiber
         strands will contribute to the loss/attenuation measurements.
4.       Power  meter  tests  shall be  completed  to verify and insure  that no
         fibers  have  been  crossed  at any of the  splice  points  within  the
         network.  Grantor  shall test and record  power  level  readings on all
         fiber  strands in both  directions of  transmission  (bi-directionally)
         using the 1310 & 1550 nm wavelengths.
5.       All OTDR and power meter tests shall be completed as follows:
         a.       All OTDR  traces  shall be taken  from  both ends of a section
                  (between  adjacent  Locations)  and recorded  using the 1310 &
                  1550 nm  wavelength.  Loss/attenuation  measurements  for each
                  splice point from both directions shall be taken and recorded.
         b.       The    end-to-end    loss   value   as   measured    with   an
                  industry-accepted  laser source and power meter should have an
                  attenuation rating of less than or equal to the following:
                  (1)      At 1310 nm:  (0.40  dB/km x km of cable) + (number of
                           connectors x 0.50) + (0.10 x number of splices).
                  (2)      At 1550 nm:  (0.30  dB/km x km of cable) + (number of
                           connectors x 0.50) + (0.10 x number of splices).
         c.       Grantor's  loss/attenuation  objective  for each  fiber  optic
                  splice is 0.10 dB when measured in one direction  with an OTDR
                  test set (excluding connector loss, which is typically 0.50 dB
                  per  mated  connector  pair).  If after  three  attempts  this
                  parameter is not met, the splice will be marked as Out-Of-Spec
                  (OOS)  and  the  splice  will  remain   provided  the  average
                  loss/attenuation  value of all splices on an individual  fiber
                  basis  shall  not  exceed  0.10  dB for  the  entire  ring  or
                  subsystem.
         d.       For  bi-directional  OTDR testing,  the distance from Location
                  "A" and Location "Z" shall be recorded for each splice  point.
                  The loss/attenuation at each splice point shall be recorded at
                  both  wavelengths  (1310  nm &  1550  nm) in  each  direction.
                  Grantor  shall then  average  the two  readings  to obtain the
                  final average splice loss/attenuation for each splice point of
                  each fiber strand within the fiber optic cable.
<PAGE>
         e.       Each fiber strand color must be recorded along with its buffer
                  tube  color or the ribbon  color.  The laser  source  transmit
                  power level using the 1310 & 1550 nm  wavelengths  will always
                  be recorded  together  with the receive power level reading at
                  the receiving end of the test.

6.    OTDR traces will be taken and splice loss measurements  recorded.  Grantor
      will store OTDR traces on  electronic  media.  Loss  measurements  will be
      recorded using an industry-accepted laser source and a power meter. Copies
      of all data  sheets and tables  and one set of  diskettes  with all traces
      will be provided to Grantee.

7.    Following  emergency  restoral,  Grantor personnel shall perform span test
      documenting end-to-end  attenuation  measurement of each fiber and will be
      completed in both directions at 1310 & 1550 nm wavelengths. Upon permanent
      repair,  new splice loss  readings  should be no greater than the original
      splice loss specifications.

     perform its  obligations  under the Agreement.  In the event that Scheduled
     Maintenance  is  canceled  or delayed  for  whatever  reason as  previously
     notified,  Grantor shall notify Grantee at Grantor's earliest  opportunity,
     and will comply with the provisions of the previous  sentence to reschedule
     any delayed activity.

Facilities

o    Grantor  shall  maintain  the Grantor  System in a manner which will permit
     Grantee's  use,  in  accordance  with  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the
     Agreement.

o    Grantee will be solely responsible for providing and paying for any and all
     maintenance of all electronic,  optronic and other equipment, materials and
     facilities  used by Grantee in connection with the operation of the Grantee
     Fibers,  none of  which  is  included  in the  maintenance  services  to be
     provided hereunder.

Cable/Fibers

o    Grantor  shall  perform  appropriate  Scheduled  Maintenance  on the cables
     contained in the Grantor  System in accordance  with Grantor's then current
     preventive  maintenance  procedures which shall not  substantially  deviate
     from standard industry practice.

o    Grantor shall have qualified  representatives  on site any time Grantor has
     reasonable  advance  knowledge that another person or entity is engaging in
     construction  activities or otherwise  digging  within five (5) feet of any
     cable.
<PAGE>
o    Grantor shall maintain sufficient capability to teleconference with Grantee
     during an Emergency  Unscheduled  Maintenance  in order to provide  regular
     communications  during the repair  process.  When  correcting  or repairing
     cable discontinuity or damage, including but not limited to in the event of
     Emergency Unscheduled Maintenance,  Grantor shall use reasonable efforts to
     repair   traffic-affecting   discontinuity   [REDACTED]   after   Grantor's
     representatives  arrival at the problem site.  In order to accomplish  such
     objective, it is acknowledged that the repairs so effected may be temporary
     in nature. In such event, within twenty-four (24) hours after completion of
     any such  Emergency  Unscheduled  Maintenance,  Grantor shall  commence its
     planning for permanent repair, and thereafter promptly shall notify Grantee
     of such  plans,  and  shall  implement  such  permanent  repair  within  an
     appropriate  time  thereafter.  Restoration of open fibers on fiber strands
     not  immediately  required  for service  shall be  completed  on a mutually
     agreed-upon  schedule.  If the fiber is required for immediate service, the
     repair shall be scheduled for the next available PSWP.

o    In   performing   repairs,   Grantor   shall   comply  with  the   splicing
     specifications  as set forth in  Exhibit  "E".  Grantor  shall  provide  to
     Grantee any  modifications to these  specifications  as may be necessary or
     appropriate in any particular instance.

o    Grantor's representatives that are responsible for initial restoration of a
     cut cable shall carry on their vehicles the typically appropriate equipment
     that would  enable a temporary  splice,  with the  objective  of  restoring
     operating capability in as little time as possible.  Grantor shall maintain
     and supply an inventory of spare cable in storage  facilities  supplied and
     maintained  by  Grantor  at  strategic   locations  to  facilitate   timely
     restoration.

Planned Service Work Period

Scheduled  Maintenance  which is  reasonably  expected  to  produce  any  signal
discontinuity  must be  coordinated  between the parties.  Generally,  this work
should be scheduled after midnight and before 6:00 a.m. local time. Major system
work, such as fiber rolls and hot cuts,  will be scheduled for PSWP weekends.  A
calendar  showing approved PSWP will be agreed upon in the last quarter of every
year for the year to come. The intent is to avoid jeopardy work on the first and
last weekends of the month and high-traffic holidays.

Restoration

o    Grantor shall respond to any event giving rise to the need for  Unscheduled
     Maintenance  (in any event,  an "Outage") as quickly as possible  (allowing
     for  delays  caused  by  Force  Majeure  Events)  in  accordance  with  the
     procedures set forth herein.
<PAGE>
o    When restoring a cut cable in the Grantor System, the parties agree to work
     together to restore all traffic as quickly as possible.  Grantor,  promptly
     upon arriving on the site of the cut, shall  determine the course of action
     to be taken to  restore  the  cable and shall  begin  restoration  efforts.
     Grantor  shall  splice  fibers  tube by tube or  ribbon  by ribbon or fiber
     bundle by fiber bundle,  rotating  between tubes or ribbons operated by the
     parties having an interest in the cable, including Grantee, Grantor and all
     future fiber users of the system (collectively, the "Interest Holders"), in
     accordance with the following  described  priority and rotation  mechanics;
     provided that,  operating fibers (i.e.,  fibers which have been jumpered to
     Grantee's,  Grantor's or another  party's space or equipment) in all buffer
     tubes  or  ribbons  or  fiber   bundles   shall  have   priority  over  any
     non-operating fibers in order to allow transmission systems to come back on
     line;  and provided  further that,  Grantor will continue such  restoration
     efforts until all lit fibers in all buffer tubes or ribbons are spliced and
     all traffic  restored.  In general,  and except to the extent prohibited by
     applicable laws, priority among Interest Holders affected by a cut shall be
     determined on a rotating  restoration-by-restoration and Segment-by-Segment
     basis, to provide fair and equitable  restoration  priority to all Interest
     Holders.  Grantor  will  provide  upon  Segment  completion  a  System-wide
     rotation  mechanism  on a  Segment-by-Segment  basis  so that  the  initial
     rotation  order of the  Interest  Holders in each  Segment is varied  (from
     earlier  to later in the  order),  such that as  restorations  occur,  each
     Interest  Holder has  approximately  equivalent  rotation  order  positions
     across the Grantor  System.  Additional  participants in the Grantor System
     that become  Interest  Holders  after the date hereof shall be added to the
     restoration rotation mechanism.

o    The goal of emergency  restoration  splicing shall be to restore service as
     quickly as  possible.  This may require the use of some type of  mechanical
     splice, such as the "3M FiberLock",  to complete the temporary restoration.
     Permanent  restorations  will  take  place as soon as  possible  after  the
     temporary splice is complete.

Subcontracting

Grantor may subcontract any of the maintenance services hereunder; provided that
Grantor shall  require the  subcontractor(s)  to perform in accordance  with the
requirements and procedures set forth herein.  The use of any such subcontractor
shall not relieve Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

                             LICENSE TO USE CAPACITY

2.1 Commencing with the Effective Date [REDACTED],  Level 3 grants to Teligent a
    license to use the Capacity along each Route  [REDACTED]  under and pursuant
    to the terms of this  Agreement.  The Route  between the End Points shall be
    the  shortest  Level 3 Route  between such End Points.  Teligent  shall have
    exclusive  rights  in  and to  the  Capacity  delivered  hereunder  for  the
    Wavelengths  Term (as such  Wavelengths  Term is extended in accordance with
    Section  3.2),  and Level 3 shall not be permitted to sell or otherwise  use
    any portion of the Capacity either itself or for delivery to others.  To use
    the  Capacity,  Teligent must provide to Level 3, at both End Points on each
    Route, [REDACTED] ("Traffic"), which Traffic will thereafter be delivered by
    Level 3, in like format, to the opposite and corresponding End Point of that
    Route identified in Appendix "A".  Capacity may be terminated only at an End
    Point and not at any  Distribution  Node along the Route.  Teligent shall be
    solely responsible for providing all interconnection  equipment used both to
    deliver to or to accept the  Capacity  from Level 3 in the formats set forth
    in this Agreement and for any and all protection schemes Teligent chooses to
    implement respecting the Traffic.

2.2 The  Traffic  will  travel an  established  Route  between the End Points as
    designated in Appendix "A." Upon the mutual agreement of the parties,  Level
    3 and  Teligent  may agree to modify the Route or any  Segment  of  Capacity
    during the Wavelengths Term; provided,  however, that Level 3 shall not have
    the unilateral right to alter the Route without Teligent's permission.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                      TERM

3.1 The  license  with  respect  to each Route of  Capacity  within a Ring shall
become  effective  [REDACTED].  Subject to the  provisions  of  Article  12, the
license with respect to the Capacity within each Route of Capacity [REDACTED].
<PAGE>
3.2 Upon the scheduled expiration of the Wavelengths Term respecting a Ring, the
Wavelengths  Term  shall  continue  on a  month-to-month  basis  until or unless
previously  terminated  by either  party on one hundred  eighty (180) days prior
notice  by  the  other.   A  monthly   recurring   charge  of   [REDACTED]   per
[REDACTED]shall  apply  during any such  month-to-month  extension  of the term.
After expiration or termination of the Wavelength Term, all rights to the use of
the Capacity therein shall revert to Level 3 without reimbursement of any of the
Fees or other  sums,  costs,  fees or  expenses  previously  made  with  respect
thereto,  and from and after such time Teligent  shall have no further rights or
obligations hereunder with respect thereto unless such rights or obligations are
specifically provided herein to survive the Term.

3.3 This Exhibit shall become  effective on the date hereof and shall  terminate
at  the  conclusion  of the  Wavelengths  Term  [REDACTED],  except  that  those
provisions of this Exhibit which are expressly  provided  herein to survive such
termination shall remain binding on the parties hereto.

                                 BILLS AND FEES

4.1 Teligent  agrees to pay, as  compensation  for the use of the Capacity,  the
Fees for each Route of  Capacity  set forth in Appendix  "A".  For each Route of
Capacity,  the  recurring  charges set forth in Appendix "A" shall be based upon
[REDACTED].

[REDACTED]

4.2 In  addition  to the  foregoing  amounts,  Teligent  shall pay  directly  or
reimburse Level 3 for all other reasonable sums,  costs, fees and expenses which
are expressly provided to be paid by Teligent under this Exhibit.

4.3 Level 3 will send Teligent invoices for all Fees due hereunder in accordance
with the invoices provision of the Agreement (Article 21).

4.4 All payments made by Teligent  hereunder shall be made without any deduction
or  withholding  for or on account of any tax, duty or other charges of whatever
nature imposed by any taxing or government authority (collectively, "Taxes"). If
either  Teligent or Level 3 are or were required by law to make any deduction or
withholding  from any payment due  hereunder  to Level 3, then,  notwithstanding
anything to the contrary  contained in this Agreement,  the gross amount payable
by Teligent shall be increased so that,  after any such deduction or withholding
for  Taxes,  the net  amount  received  by Level 3 will not be less than Level 3
would have received had no such deduction or withholding  been required.  If any
taxing  or  government  authority  asserts  that  Teligent  should  have  made a
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes with respect to all or a
portion of the payments made  hereunder,  or that Level 3 should have  collected
certain  Taxes from  Teligent  which Level 3 did not  collect,  Teligent  hereby
agrees to  indemnify  Level 3 for such  Taxes and hold  Level 3  harmless  on an
after-tax  basis from and against any Taxes,  interest  or  penalties  levied or
asserted in connection  therewith.  Taxes will be separately stated in Level 3's
invoices.  In the event Teligent is exempt from paying any taxes,  Teligent will
provide Level 3 with appropriate documentation of such execution.

                        ACCEPTANCE TESTING AND COMPLETION

5.1  [REDACTED]  Level 3 shall test the  Capacity (on a Route by Route basis) in
accordance with Level 3's standard  procedures and generally  accepted  industry
practices  ("Acceptance  Testing").  Level 3 shall  provide  Teligent with prior
notice of the date and time of  Acceptance  Testing and Teligent  shall have the
right, but not the obligation,  at Teligent's cost and expense, to be present to
observe the Acceptance Testing.  Level 3 and Teligent agree that they shall each
use best efforts to,  within  thirty (30) days of  execution  of the  Agreement,
negotiate the standards applicable to the "Acceptance Testing." Each party shall
be reasonable in negotiating  such standards,  but in the event that the parties
are unable to agree on  applicable  standards,  this  Exhibit may be  terminated
without  either party  incurring  any liability to the other and any monies paid
hereunder shall be returned to the paying party.  The parties may mutually agree
to extend the time  periods  set forth in this  Section.  Upon  completion,  the
Acceptance  Testing  Standards  may  be  modified  upon  a  signature  of a Vice
President or above of each company.

5.2      When the results of the  Acceptance  Testing  show that the Capacity so
         tested is operating  substantially  in conformity  with the  applicable
         specifications  therefor,  Level 3 shall provide written notice of same
         to Teligent (a  "Completion  Notice"),  which  Completion  Notice shall
         state the results of the Acceptance  Testing.  Teligent  shall,  within
         twenty (20) days of receipt of the Completion Notice,  either accept or
         reject the  Completion  Notice  (Teligent  shall be permitted to reject
         only if  Teligent  specifies  a  material  failure of the  Capacity  to
         operate in accordance with the applicable  specifications  therefor) by
         delivery of written  notice to Level 3. In the event  Teligent  rejects
         the  Completion  Notice,  Level  3  shall  promptly,  and at no cost to
         Teligent,  commence  to remedy  the  defect  or  failure  specified  in
         Teligent's notice.  Thereafter,  Level 3 shall again conduct Acceptance
         Testing and (if successfully  completed)  provide Teligent a Completion
         Notice with respect to such Route of  Capacity.  This  procedure  shall
         apply again and  successively  thereafter by Level 3 until the Capacity
         meets the  specifications.  Any failure by Teligent to timely  reject a
         Completion Notice, or any use of the Capacity by Teligent  ([REDACTED])
         for any  purpose  other  than  testing,  shall be deemed to  constitute
         acceptance  [REDACTED]  for purposes of this Exhibit and Teligent shall
         be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Acceptance  upon such use or on
         the  twenty-first  (21st) day after delivery of the Completion  Notice.
         However, implied acceptance shall not relieve Level 3 of its obligation
         to  insure   that  the   Capacity,   as  an   initial   matter,   meets
         specifications.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                 INTERCONNECTION

Teligent  shall be solely  responsible  for all Traffic until it is delivered to
Level 3 (in the format set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement) and after the
Traffic is redelivered to Teligent at the terminating End Point. The demarcation
point for the Capacity will be [REDACTED].  The Teligent will have the following
access options for the Capacity:

1.   Where  Teligent  has secured  colocation  space  within the End Point,  the
     Capacity  can  be  delivered  via a  cross-connect  and  terminated  at the
     colocation cabinet or a fiber patch panel within the space. [REDACTED]
2.   Where Teligent is located within the same building as the End Point,  Level
     3 will  provide  fiber  extension or riser  facilities  and  terminate  the
     Capacity  at an OSX  panel  within  the  Teligent  POP.  Teligent  will  be
     responsible  for all  Costs (as  defined  in  Exhibit  1 of the  Agreement)
     incurred to provide the extension plus [REDACTED]%
3.   Teligent may choose to have the Capacity  delivered to its POP in a Level 3
     On-Net,  fiber-connected  building.  Level 3 will deliver the Capacity over
     its metro fiber to an OSX panel in the Teligent POP. Any  incremental  Cost
     (as defined in Exhibit 1 of the Agreement) incurred to deliver the Capacity
     will be reimbursed by Teligent at actual cost plus [REDACTED]%An additional
     non recurring  charge will be assessed for the metro fiber pair.  This will
     be calculated at $[REDACTED] per DS 0 route mile for the logical loop.
<PAGE>
Teligent  shall be permitted to cross  connect the Traffic once  redelivered  to
Teligent  with  and into any  local  carrier  (including  Level 3)  selected  by
Teligent.   Level  3  makes  no  representation   or  warranty   respecting  the
availability  or performance  of services or networks  supplied by third parties
beyond the End Points.

                            SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS,
                        POWER, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

7.1 The ongoing "Service Level Agreement" applicable to the Capacity is attached
hereto as Appendix "B".  Credits  shall be given off of the  recurring  Fees set
forth in Appendix "A".

7.2 Should any condition  exist in any Capacity that may impair the integrity of
such Capacity,  Level 3 shall  initiate or cause to be initiated  maintenance on
such Capacity which may include the  deactivation of such Capacity in accordance
with  Article  20 of the  Agreement.  Level 3 shall,  to the  extent  reasonably
practicable,  advise  Teligent  in  writing  at least ten (10) days prior to the
initiation  of a  planned  maintenance  operation  which  will or is  likely  to
interfere  with the  operation of the  Capacity,  and of the timing and scope of
such planned maintenance operation. If any maintenance shall require redesign of
Teligent's  network  or  transfer  of  Teligent's  customers,  Level 3 will  use
reasonable efforts to minimize disruptions in the Capacity.

7.3 Teligent shall pay to Level 3 [REDACTED] an annual recurring charge (the "PO
& M Charge") equal to  [REDACTED] of the Total  Wavelength Fee (as set forth in
Appendix  "A") per year  [REDACTED].  The PO & M Charge is intended to cover the
expenses of supplying power,  operations and maintenance  services  necessary to
continue effective availability of the Capacity for the Wavelength Term.

7.4      [Intentionally Deleted]

7.5 The PO & M Charge (subject to Article 4) shall be paid each year by Teligent
in twelve (12) equal  installments  due and payable on the first business day of
each month.  In the event the  Acceptance  Date or  expiration  of the Term of a
Route occurs  other than on the first day of the month,  the PO & M Charge shall
be prorated.

                                 USE OF CAPACITY

8.1 Teligent represents and warrants that it will use the Capacity in compliance
with all applicable government codes, ordinances, laws, rules and regulations.

8.2 Subject to the provisions of this  Agreement,  Teligent may use the Capacity
for any lawful  purpose.  Teligent  acknowledges  and agrees that its rights are
limited to the use of the Capacity  only, and that Teligent shall keep Level 3's
Network free from any liens, rights or claims of any third party attributable to
Teligent.
<PAGE>
Teligent  shall not knowingly use the Capacity in a way which  interferes in any
way with or  otherwise  adversely  affects the use of the Level 3 Network by any
other entity using Level 3's Network or capacity  therein.  Teligent will remedy
any such  interference  (or commence  such remedy and prosecute it diligently to
completion) within thirty (30) days written notice of the same provided by Level
3.

8.4 Level 3 will make available Colocation space to Teligent pursuant to Exhibit
    "3" to the Agreement.

8.5 Teligent  agrees that it shall "beta test" the capacity in Ring 4 identified
in  Appendix  "C" hereto (the "Beta  Capacity")  under the  following  terms and
conditions.  For a period of time that commences with the initiation of delivery
of the Beta Capacity to Teligent and which ends upon the delivery of notice from
Level 3 notifying Teligent of the end of the BETA Period  (hereinafter the "BETA
Period"),  such  Capacity  will be provided  to  Teligent  and tested by Level 3
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.5.

[REDACTED]

Once  the  Beta  Capacity  is  performing  materially  in  accordance  with  the
Acceptance  Testing  criteria and the Service Level  Agreements  applicable  for
Capacity  hereunder,  Level 3 may transition  Teligent to general  availability,
provide  Teligent with a Completion  Notice in accordance with Article 5 and the
Acceptance Date mechanism of Article 1.1 shall apply. After the Acceptance Date,
the provisions of this Exhibit  (except for those set forth in this Section 8.5)
shall control the provisioning of the Beta Capacity.

12.3     Notwithstanding  anything  contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
         Teligent's sole and exclusive  remedy with respect to poor  performance
         of the  Capacity  or any  failure of the  Capacity  to meet the service
         levels  set forth in  Appendix  "B" shall be the right to  receive  the
         credits due under  Appendix "B" or to  terminate  this  Agreement.  If,
         other  than  as  caused  by a  Force  Majeure  Event,  Level  3 has not
         delivered a Completion  Notice (in good faith)  respecting  any Ring of
         Capacity  within  ninety  (90)  days  after  the  applicable  "Earliest
         Available  Date" set forth on Appendix "A",  then,  from and after such
         date and until the  installation  is completed,  Teligent shall receive
         (as its sole and exclusive remedy for a failure to deliver a Completion
         Notice  on or  before  the  "Earliest  Availability  Date") a credit of
         [REDACTED]  percent off of the monthly  recurring Fees for such Ring of
         Capacity (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) for each month or
         partial  month  (prorated  based  on  a  thirty-day   month)  of  delay
         thereafter; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of the
         credit provided to Teligent  hereunder be greater than  [REDACTED].  In
         the event Level 3 continues to fail to deliver the Ring of Capacity for
         [REDACTED] months after the scheduled  completion date and otherwise in
         accordance with this Agreement,  then either party shall have the right
         to terminate the affected Ring.

         Teligent  shall have the right to terminate  and  discontinue  affected
         Capacity  prior to the end of the agreed  Term  without  payment of any
         applicable  termination charge if: (i) such Capacity is Unavailable (as
         defined in Appendix B) on two or more separate occasions of [REDACTED],
         and (ii)  following  written  notice  thereof from Teligent to Level 3,
         Level 3 has an Unavailability event of [REDACTED] immediately following
         said notice;  and iii) Level 3 is thereafter  given the opportunity to,
         within  thirty  (30)  days,  replace  the  transmission  system for the
         affected  Segment of Capacity and Level 3 thereafter  has an [REDACTED]
         immediately  following  the  replacement.  Teligent may only  terminate
         Service which is affected by Unavailability events as set forth herein,
         and must  exercise its right to terminate  any affected  Service  under
         this  Section,  in  writing,  no later than  thirty (30) days after the
         Unavailability event giving rise to a right of termination hereunder.

12.4     In the event Teligent  terminates  this Exhibit (other than as a result
         of a default by Level 3) or in the event that Level 3  terminates  this
         Exhibit as a result of a default by Teligent,  then Teligent  shall pay
         to Level 3 a  termination  charge (as  liquidated  damages and not as a
         penalty):

                 ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COLOCATION
                                    RECITALS

         Level 3 owns,  controls or holds leasehold  interests in certain office
and storage  space  ("Gateway(s)")  suitable for the  placement and operation of
communications  equipment  and is willing to grant  Customer the right to occupy
portions of the Gateways (the "Colocation  Space") upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth; and

         Teligent  ("Customer") desires access to the Colocation Space set forth
on  Exhibit  A to place  therein  certain  communications  equipment,  including
interconnecting  such  equipment  with  Level  3's  and  others'  communications
network(s) in order to utilize  Capacity and metro dark fiber as provided  under
the Agreement.

1.       SCOPE

         A. Upon  acceptance  by Level 3 of an Order (as  defined in Section 4.A
below) for Colocation  Space,  Level 3 grants to Customer,  and Customer  hereby
agrees to purchase from Level 3 (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement)
a license  to  occupy  Colocation  Space  designated  by Level 3 in the  Gateway
identified in the Order.  Customer may commence to occupy the  Colocation  Space
upon Level 3's  completion of the build-out of the  Colocation  Space.  Customer
shall use the Colocation  Space for the placement,  operation and maintenance of
electronic  and  optronic  or  other  equipment  used  for the  transmission  of
communications signals ("Equipment") and not for storage (other than the storage
of tools and spare parts for use in maintaining the  Equipment).  Customer shall
be permitted to interconnect,  or cause Level 3 to  interconnect,  the Equipment
with the equipment or networks of Level 3 and other carriers,  including without
limitation,  the dominant local exchange  carrier,  if such other carrier(s) are
colocated in the Gateway and such interconnection is technically feasible.

         B.  Customer  shall be permitted  unescorted  access to the  Colocation
Space seven (7) days per week and twenty-four (24) hours per day, subject to any
and all rules, regulations and access requirements reasonably imposed by Level 3
governing such access. Level 3 warrants that such rules,  regulations and access
requirements  shall not be inconsistent with any of Customer's rights under this
Agreement. Level 3 reserves the right, on ninety (90) days' prior written notice
(except in emergency situations), to change the location or configuration of the
Colocation Space at Level 3's sole cost and expense (which shall be accomplished
only after  consultation with Customer (except in emergency  situations)).  Such
right may be exercised  not more than twice during any calendar  year during the
Term.  Such  new  location  shall  be in the same  Gateway  and be  functionally
equivalent and substantially  similar to the initial  Colocation Space. Such new
configuration shall be functionally  equivalent and substantially similar to the
initial  configuration.  An "emergency"  shall mean an immediate and substantial
threat  of  damage  to  property  or  injury  or  death  to  any  person  or  an
unanticipated  event  affecting  the service for which the  Colocation  Space is
being  used.  Level 3 and  Customer  agree  to work  together  in good  faith to
minimize any disruption of service in connection with such  relocation.  Level 3
reserves the right to access the Colocation  Space for any  legitimate  business
purpose related to the use,  maintenance  and/or  operation of its own equipment
and  facilities in the  Colocation  Space or the Gateway upon  reasonable  prior
notice to Customer.
<PAGE>
C. Customer may not provide or make available any portion of the Colocation
Space to any third party. Any violation of this provision shall be deemed a
material breach of this Agreement.

D. This Exhibit 3 constitutes  Customer's  Order,  which Level 3 hereby accepts,
for the Colocation Spaces identified on Exhibit A at the respective  charges set
forth on Exhibit A. Customer agrees that it shall pay Level 3 the  non-recurring
charges (and shall commence  paying the recurring  charges) for each  Colocation
Space on the date the Term for the Space commences.

2.       DURATION OF TERM

         A. Term.  Unless  otherwise  agreed in an Order, the term of use of the
Colocation  Space  shall  begin on the later to occur of the date  requested  by
Customer  or the date that Level 3 completes  the  build-out  of the  Colocation
Space and shall continue  thereafter for a term coterminous with the term of the
services  (either  wavelengths or dark fiber) for which the Colocation  Space is
being used.  (the "Term").  As to future Orders of  Colocation  Space,  the Term
shall be as set forth in the  Order,  or, in the  event  that an Order  does not
specify a term for the use of Colocation  Space,  the Term shall be one (1) year
from the date that Level 3 completes  the  build-out  of the  Colocation  Space.
After the expiration of the Term, use of the Colocation  Space shall continue on
a month-to-month basis (which shall be terminable by either party on thirty (30)
days' written notice) under the same terms and  conditions,  unless Customer and
Level 3 have  agreed in writing to a specific  term  renewal of the right to use
such Colocation Space.

         B. Upon expiration or termination of Customer's right to use Colocation
Space,  Customer,  at its expense,  shall remove  Equipment  and other  property
(except  cabling,  which Customer may leave at its election) from the Colocation
Space and  return  the  Colocation  Space to Level 3 in  substantially  the same
condition  (reasonable  wear and tear and casualty  excepted)  as when  Customer
first occupied the Colocation  Space.  In the event Customer fails to vacate the
Colocation  Space within twenty (20) days from the  termination or expiration of
the term with respect thereto, Level 3 shall give notice thereof to Customer and
10  business  days  thereafter,  Level 3 shall  have  the  right to  remove  the
Equipment and other  property of Customer at Customer's  expense,  in accordance
with all  applicable  laws,  and Level 3 shall have no  liability  for damage or
injury to Customer's  property  unless caused by the  negligence or  intentional
misconduct of Level 3.

C.  Customer  hereby  agrees to pay for the  Colocation  Space  and any  related
services  described  hereunder and ordered by Customer for the Term.  Subject to
the requirements to pay termination  charges set forth below, by notice to Level
3,  Customer  may for any  reason  terminate  an Order and this  Agreement  with
respect to such Order and the  applicable  Colocation  Space.  In the event that
Customer  terminates  an Order for  Colocation  Space which has been accepted by
Level 3 or in the event that the Order is  terminated  pursuant  to Section  2.D
(2)-(4) below,  Customer shall comply with Section 2.B above,  including without
limitation,  the requirements for returning the Colocation Space and shall pay a
termination charge, which shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty,
equal to the  reasonable  and  documented  direct  costs  incurred by Level 3 in
undoing any  improvements to the Colocation  Space made  specifically for and at
Customer's  request,  but only to the extent  necessary to render the Colocation
Space in a condition  suitable for general use by other parties,  plus a portion
of the monthly  recurring  fees for the remainder of the Term following the date
of termination for the terminated Colocation Space, calculated as follows:

[REDACTED]

1.
<PAGE>
         D. In no  event  shall  Customer  pay  termination  charges  for  early
termination  due to Level 3's  material  breach of this  Exhibit.  Additionally,
Customer  may  teminate,  without the payment of any  termination  charges,  any
Colocation  Space which was used by Customer  directly  in  connection  with any
Wavelength  Services  or any  license to use Metro Dark Fiber to the extent that
such services or licenses are terminated by Customer  pursuant to the Wavelength
Services Exhibit or the Metro Dark Fiber Exhibit, either as permitted thereunder
or as a result of a default thereunder by Level 3.

         E. Level 3 shall have the right to  terminate,  upon  [REDACTED]  days'
written notice (or such shorter period of time as specified  below),  Customer's
use of the  Colocation  Space or the  Services in the event that:  (1) Level 3's
right  to use  the  facility  within  which  the  Colocation  Space  is  located
terminates  or expires for any reason (in which  event,  Customer  shall have no
termination  liability  under  Section  2.C or  otherwise,  and  Level  3  shall
immediately  refund all payments Customer has made for the terminated portion of
the Term);  (2) Customer  has violated any material  term hereof or of any Order
submitted  hereunder;  (3)  Customer  makes  any  material  alterations  to  the
Colocation  Space without first  obtaining the written consent of Level 3 (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld); or (4) Customer allows unescorted personnel
to enter the Colocation Space, other than Customer's  personnel,  contractors or
technicians  who have been approved by Level 3 in  accordance  with Section 3.C.
With  respect  to items  (2),  (3) and (4)  immediately  above,  unless the same
materially  interferes or is substantially  likely to materially  interfere with
other Level 3 customers,  Level 3 shall provide Customer a written notice of the
foregoing and a [REDACTED] day  opportunity to cure the same before  terminating
Customer's rights to the Colocation Space.

3.       USE OF COLOCATION SPACE

         A. Customer shall not use the  Colocation  Space for marketing or other
general  office  purposes.  Customer shall place no signs or marking of any kind
(except  for a plaque  or other  identification  affixed  to the  Equipment  and
reasonably necessary to identify the Equipment and which shall include a list of
emergency  contacts  with  telephone  numbers) in the Gateway or the  Colocation
Space.

         B.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in this  Agreement  or any  Order,
Customer  is  solely   responsible   for  the  design,   engineering,   testing,
performance, monitoring, maintenance, and repair of the Equipment and facilities
used by Customer in the Colocation Space.

         C. Customer shall abide by any posted or communicated (by notice) rules
relating to use of, access to, or security  measures  respecting  the Colocation
Space,  provided such rules are not  inconsistent  with Customer's  rights under
this  Agreement.  Customer may bring its customers into the Colocation  Space in
compliance with Level 3's policies respecting such access.  Customer may request
access  to  the  Colocation  Space  for  any of its  personnel,  contractors  or
technicians by contacting Level 3's Customer Care Department (877-4-LEVEL3).  In
the event  Customer  or any of its agents or  employees  is found in the Gateway
with any firearms, drugs, alcohol or is found engaging in any criminal activity,
eavesdropping,  foreign  intelligence,  card selling or slamming,  Level 3 shall
have the right to require  that such  employee or agent  immediately  vacate the
facilities  and such  employee or agent  shall not be allowed to return.  In the
event that  unauthorized  parties gain access to the  Colocation  Space  through
access cards, keys or other access devices provided to Customer,  Customer shall
be responsible for any damages  incurred as a result thereof.  Customer shall be
responsible for the cost of replacing any security  devices lost or stolen after
delivery thereof to Customer.
<PAGE>
         D.  Notwithstanding  any other provisions of this Agreement,  Equipment
and  facilities  placed  in the  Colocation  Space  by  Customer  shall  not (a)
interfere  with or impair  service  provided  by Level 3 or by any  other  party
located in the Gateway;  (b) endanger or damage the  facilities of Level 3 or of
any other party,  the  Colocation  Space,  or the Gateway;  (c)  compromise  the
privacy of any communications  carried in, from, or through the Gateway;  or (d)
create  an  unreasonable  risk of injury  or death to any  individual  or to the
public. If Level 3 determines,  in its reasonable  business  judgment,  that any
Equipment  or  other  property  of  Customer  violates  the  provisions  of this
paragraph,  Level 3 shall  give  written  notice  to  Customer  specifying  such
violations in detail,  which notice shall direct  Customer to cure the violation
within  twenty-four (24) hours or, at a minimum,  to commence  curative measures
within twenty-four (24) hours and to exercise  reasonable  diligence to complete
such measures as soon as possible thereafter. If Customer fails to take curative
action within twenty-four (24) hours or if the violation is of a character which
poses an immediate and substantial threat of damage to property, injury or death
to any person, or interference/impairment of the services provided by Level 3 or
its  customers,  then Level 3 may take such  action as it deems  appropriate  to
correct  the  violation,  including  without  limitation,  the  interruption  of
electrical power to Equipment.  Level 3 will provide notice to Customer prior to
taking  such  action and shall have no  liability  to  Customer  for any damages
arising from such action.

in such installation).

11.      [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

12.      [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

13.      DESTRUCTION OF COLOCATION SPACE

In the  event a  Colocation  Space  is  wholly  or  partially  damaged  by fire,
windstorm,  tornado,  flood or by  similar  causes  to such an  extent  as to be
rendered wholly unsuitable for Customer's  permitted use hereunder,  then either
party may elect  within ten (10) days  after  such  damage,  to  terminate  this
Agreement  by giving the other  written  notice of  termination  (in which event
Customer shall have no termination liability under Section 2.C or otherwise). If
either  party  shall so elect,  both  parties  shall be  released  from  further
liability for such  Colocation  Space under the terms hereof.  If the Colocation
Space shall suffer only minor damage and shall not be rendered wholly unsuitable
for  Customer's  permitted use, or is damaged and the option to terminate is not
exercised  by either  party,  Level 3 covenants  and agrees to proceed  promptly
without expense to Customer,  to repair the damage except for  improvements  not
the  property of Level 3. Level 3 shall have a  reasonable  time within which to
rebuild or make any repairs,  and such rebuilding and repairing shall be subject
to delays  caused  by  storms,  shortages  of labor  and  materials,  government
regulations,  strikes, walkouts, and causes beyond the control of Level 3, which
causes shall not be construed as limiting  factors,  but as examples only. Where
allowed and where  practical in the sole judgment of Level 3, Customer may erect
a temporary facility while Level 3 rebuilds or makes repairs. In all cases where
the Colocation Space shall be rebuilt or repaired, Customer shall be entitled to
an  equitable  abatement of charges,  depending  upon the  unsuitability  of the
Colocation  Space for Customer's  permitted use, until such Colocation  Space is
fully repaired and restored and Customer's  Equipment  installed therein (but in
no event  later  than  thirty  (30)  days  after the  Colocation  Space is fully
repaired and restored).
<PAGE>
14.      EMINENT DOMAIN

Level 3 shall  provide  Customer  with as much written  notice as is  reasonably
possible  after Level 3 has been  informed  that its rights to use the  facility
will be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain.  If the
whole of a  Colocation  Space shall be taken by any public  authority  under the
power of eminent domain,  then Customer's  rights to such Colocation Space shall
terminate as of the day possession  shall be taken by such public  authority and

[REDACTED] on the terms and conditions set forth in this Addendum.

         B. Level 3 and Teligent wish to correct  certain  typographical  errors
contained  within the Metro Dark Fiber  Agreement and to otherwise  modify it as
necessary considering Teligent's agreement to [REDACTED].

NOW THEREFORE the parties mutually agree to amend the Metro Dark Fiber Agreement
in the following respects:

         1.  Section 2.01 of the Metro Dark Fiber Agreement is deleted and
             replaced with the following provision:
<PAGE>
         The Grantor  System will connect the points  identified  on Exhibit "A"
         attached hereto (each point  identified on Exhibit "A" is herein called
         a "Segment End Point",  the route  between the  applicable  Segment End
         Points is herein called a "Segment",  and all of the Segments  together
         are herein called the "System Route").  The Grantor System will include
         the  "Lateral  Segments,"  if  any,  identified  in  Exhibit  "A".  The
         cumulative  Route Miles for all Segments ordered by grantee pursuant to
         this Agreement  (excluding  Lateral  Segments) are  [REDACTED]  Grantee
         Fibers within each Segment,  so that the total fiber miles (Route Miles
         times  the   number  of  fibers)   initially   ordered  by  Grantee  is
         [REDACTED]). Grantee further agrees to purchase a [REDACTED] additional
         Grantee Fibers from all of the Segments  listed in Exhibit "G" when the
         same are  available for delivery by Level 3,  bringing  Grantees  total
         fiber miles to [REDACTED].  Grantee further agrees to purchase,  within
         six  (6)  months  of the  date of  signing  the  Agreement,  additional

         may  satisfy  the  Minimum  Purchase  Commitment  only by purchase of a
         license in entire Segments (partial Segments may not be purchased).  In
         the event  Grantee  does not  inform  Grantor  of the number of Grantee
         Fibers  desired  necessary to satisfy the Minimum  Purchase  Commitment
         within the time frames set forth herein,  then Grantee shall be charged
         for that unsatisfied  portion of the Minimum Purchase Commitment as set
         forth in Exhibit "B" (even  though  Grantee did not satisfy the Minimum
         Purchase Commitment). [REDACTED]

and replaced with the following provision:

         5.01 The [REDACTED]with  respect to each Segment shall become effective
         on the first day when both (i) the Acceptance  Date with respect to the
         Grantee  Fiber  within a Segment  has  occurred  and (ii)  Grantor  has
         received  payment of all fees and charges  attributable to such Segment
         which are due under this Exhibit  [REDACTED]  (the  "Effective  Date").
         Subject to the provisions of Article 20, the [REDACTED] with respect to
         the Grantee Fibers within each Segment shall terminate on the twentieth
         (20th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Term").
