E. In the event the Phone1 Services fail to operate solely because of major outage with the Phone1 platform, and Phone1 calls are unable to be made from SBC public pay telephones for a period of time exceeding twenty-four (24) hours pursuant to procedures in Exhibit F, Phone 1 shall pay to SBC any lost SBC commissions for each day of the outage. Lost commissions will be based on the average Phone1 call revenues associated with the same or similarly-situated SBC public pay telephones during the previous thirty (30) day period. F.
