         develop a mutually agreeable alternative proposal that will satisfy the

increase in switched access costs, and if Customer gives Sprint reasonable
notice of the proposed increase, Sprint's adjustments to pricing under this
provision will become effective upon the later of the date 30 days after notice
to Customer of Sprint's adjustment or the date upon which the applicable
regulatory agency permits Customer's proposed increase in switched access costs
to become effective.

acquisition of a new local exchange territory in which Customer proposes a
decrease in switched access costs, and if Customer gives Sprint reasonable
notice of the proposed decrease, Sprint's adjustments to pricing under this
provision will become effective upon the later of the date 30 days after notice
to Customer of Sprint's adjustment or the date upon which the applicable
regulatory agency permits Customer's proposed decrease in switched access costs
to become effective.

originating access in OCNs 1164 (NM), 1193 (NM), and 1165 (OK), Sprint and
Customer will review Customer's pricing within 30 days after the effective date
of the tariff change. If Sprint and Customer agree to adjust customer's pricing
as a result of the tariff changes, Spring will adjust Customer's pricing upon a
30 day notice to Customer.

and materially impact Customer's ability to conduct business, Customer may
terminate this Agreement upon a 30 day notice to Sprint without early
termination liability upon payment for all Services

            following the date the Amendment No. 12 has been fully executed by
            both parties and delivered to Customer (the "SERVICE TERM"). Upon
            expiration of the Service Term, the Switched 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.

                  parties and delivered to Customer and continuing through the
                  end of the Service Term (including any extensions thereto)
                  (the "COMMITMENT PERIOD"), Customer agrees to maintain, on a

            (B)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
                  Agreement, as soon as Customer's cumulative Monthly Revenue
                  from MCI under the terms of this Agreement and commencing with
                  the first (1st) day of the Commitment Period (as described in

                  Minimum Revenue Commitment described in Subsection 5(A) above
                  by providing MCI written notice ("CUSTOMER NOTICE"). In such
                  event, commencing with the first day of the first full month
                  following at least thirty (30) days after MCI receives the
