Exhibit 10.7.1

 

FIRST
AMENDMENT TO INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT

 

This  First  Amendment to Independent Contractor
Agreement (“Amendment”) is made by and between Universal Access, Inc.
(“Company”) and Anthony Coelho
(“Consultant”).  The provisions below will
be effective on July 1, 2004 (“First Amendment Effective Date”).  If required, this Amendment will not be
effective until the Company’s board of directors approves it.

 

BACKGROUND

 

1.                                       Consultant
and Company entered into an Independent Contractor Agreement dated
November 1, 2003 (the “Agreement”), with respect to certain services to be
provided by Consultant to Company.

 

2.                                       Consultant and
Company wish to amend the Agreement to reflect certain changes.

 

THE
AGREEMENT

 

The parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Definitions.  All capitalized terms not defined in this
Amendment have the same meanings given to those terms in the Agreement.

 

2.                                       Commencing
on the First Amendment Effective Date, Section II to Exhibit A of the
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

A.                                   Compensation
Schedule For Monthly Recurring Charges. 
With respect to each new Service for which Company receives a fixed
Monthly Recurring Charge (as defined below), such as the sale of a private line
circuit, Company will pay Consultant a fee equal to 5% of the Monthly Recurring
Charge it actually receives from the customer introduced by Consultant.  The payment will continue only during the
initial term of the order.  All payments
due under this Section will be made in accordance with Section C.

 

“Monthly Recurring
Charges” means the net monthly recurring charges actually paid to Company.   Monthly Recurring Charges are calculated
after the application of all discounts, credits (including any billing adjustments),
waivers and promotions. Monthly Recurring Charges exclude all other charges;
any revenue associated with any fraudulent use of the services by any customer
introduced by Consultant; and any accounts terminated by Consultant.

 

B.                                     Compensation
Schedule For Non-Recurring Charges. 
With respect to each new Service for which Company does not receive a
fixed Monthly Recurring Charge, such as the provision of consulting services,
Company will pay Consultant a fee.  This
fee will be in an amount equal to 5% of the Service Fees (as defined below)
earned during the initial term of the engagement. All payments due under this
Section from Consultant will be made in accordance with Section C.

 

“Service Fees” means the
net amount paid to Consultant, less any taxes or tax related or tax like
surcharges.

 

C.                                     Compensation
under this Exhibit A will be paid 45 days after the end of the month in which
Company receives the payment. For example, if Company receives Monthly
Recurring

 

 

Charges associated with a
circuit sale in July, Consultant will be paid 45 days from the end of
July (i.e., mid-September).  For
example, if Company receives a one time payment of Service Fees in
July for a license of data, Consultant will be paid 45 days from the end
of July (i.e., mid-September). 
Consultant will have no liability to Consultant other than the
obligation to pay the compensation described in this Section.

 

D.                                    Consultant
does not have the authority to bind Company, by contract or otherwise, or make
representations as to the policies and procedures of Company.  Company, in its sole discretion and without
prior notice, may elect not to enter into or to terminate an account of a
customer introduced by Consultant for any reason, including but not limited to,
that customer’s credit, bankruptcy or insolvency, inactivity, or breaches of
contract terms and conditions. No additional compensation fees will be due
Consultant on terminated accounts.

 

3.                                       Entire
Agreement.   Except as expressly
modified by this Amendment, the Agreement is and will remain in full force and
effect in accordance with its terms and constitutes the legal and binding
obligations of Consultant and Company. 
This Amendment, including the Agreement, is the complete agreement of
the parties and supersedes any prior agreements or representations, whether
oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment.

 

4.                                       Successors
and Assigns.  This Amendment is
binding upon and inures to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns
of the parties.

 

5.                                       Section References.  Section titles used in this Amendment
have no substantive meaning and are not a part of the parties’ agreement.

 

Company and Consultant have executed this Amendment by their authorized
representatives on the dates set forth below, effective on the First Amendment
Effective Date.

FOURTH AMENDMENT

 

This
Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”)
is made this 24th day of June, 2004, by and between Universal
Access, Inc. (“Customer”) and MCI
WORLDCOM Network Services, Inc. (“MCI”)
(as assignee of such Agreement from MCI Communications, Inc., an MCI affiliate)
to that certain Carrier Global Services Agreement (the “CGSA”),  made by and between Customer and MCI, signed
by Customer on September 24, 1999, and subsequently accepted by MCI on
December 14, 1999, including all prior applicable amendments (the “Prior Amendments”). In the event of any
conflict between the terms of the CGSA, any Prior Amendment or any applicable
Attachment and the terms of this Fourth Amendment, the terms of this Fourth
Amendment shall control. The CGSA along with the Prior Amendments, all
applicable Attachment(s), and this Fourth Amendment shall collectively be
referred to as the “Agreement”.
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in
other documents referenced herein. All references to “MCI WorldCom” in the
Agreement including any amendments, attachments, schedules or exhibits thereto
will be deemed to refer to “MCI”.

 

In
consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       TERM. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or
Schedule One to the CGSA, the Term shall continue through and include
December 31, 2006 (the “Term”).
Upon expiration of the Term, the Services in question will continue to be
provided pursuant to the same terms and conditions as are then in effect
(including without limitation, the applicable rates, discounts and commitments,
if any), subject to termination by either party upon thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the other party.

 

2.                                       MINIMUM VOLUME REQUIREMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, any Prior Amendment, or Schedule One to the
CGSA, commencing during each Monthly Period of the Term, Customer’s
Total Usage Charges under this Agreement must equal or exceed Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Monthly
Minimum”).

 

3.                                 SERVICE ORDERS. Commencing with the first (1st)
day of the first (1st) month following the date this Fourth
Amendment has been fully executed by both parties and delivered to Customer,
the parties agree to substitute Subsection 7.5 of the Schedule Two
(Master Terms And Conditions) to the CGSA to read in its entirety as follows:

 

7.5                                 Service Orders. Customer shall request the
delivery of dedicated local access services by executing a service order in
form and substance satisfactory to MCI (the “Service
Order”). The Service Order sets forth the place of delivery, circuit
contracted term, pricing and other details. All Service Orders are subject to

 

1

 

the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. A separate Sevice Order must be
completed for each circuit ordered. Customer will be responsible for payment of
the rates and charges for the contracted term, as set forth in each Service
Order. Each Service Order shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement: provided, however, that MCI may terminate one or more Service Orders
if MCI terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof. If Customer
terminates a Service Order prior to the end of twelve (12) months (the “Minimum Installation Period”) for reasons
other than for “Cause” (as defined in Section 6 of Schedule One) or
if MCI terminates a Service Order for Cause prior to the Minimum Installation
Period for any circuit, then Customer will pay within thirty (30) days after
such termination: the monthly recurring charge for such circuit(s) multiplied
by twelve (12) minus the monthly recurring charge for such circuit multiplied
by the number of months installed. Notwithstanding a termination of a Service
Order, the Agreement and other Service Orders will remain in full force and
effect unless expressly terminated as permitted by this Agreement.

 

4.                                  OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Except as specifically amended or modified
herein, the terms and conditions of the Agreement will remain in full force and
effect throughout the Service Term and any extensions thereof,

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Fourth
Amendment on the date first written above.
