PROVISION OF SERVICES. AT&T agrees to provide to CUSTOMER the AT&T services described in the Attachment(s) to this Agreement (the "Services"). AT&T is not responsible for the quality of transmission or signaling on CUSTOMER's side of the network interface between AT&T and CUSTOMER. Service is furnished subject to the availability of the service components required, and subject to operational and systems constraints. 2. BILLING AND PAYMENT FOR THE SERVICES. Except as may be provided in an Attachment, AT&T will send a single monthly bill for each of the Services to one location designated by CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER is liable for all amounts due to AT&T under this Agreement. Payment in U.S. currency is due within thirty days after the bill date, except as otherwise provided below with respect to Billing Disputes. Charges set forth in the Attachments are exclusive of any applicable taxes or surcharges. 3. NON-PAYMENT. AT&T may add interest charges to any past due amounts at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law. CUSTOMER shall reimburse AT&T for reasonable attorney's fees and any other costs associated with collecting delinquent or dishonored payments. Restrictive endorsements or other statements on checks accepted by AT&T will not apply. 4. BILLING DISPUTES. To dispute a charge on a bill, CUSTOMER must identify the specific charge in dispute and provide a full written explanation of the basis for the dispute using a standard AT&T billing dispute form within 90 days after the bill date. CUSTOMER may withhold payment of a charge subject to a good faith dispute provided: (a) CUSTOMER submits the billing dispute, using a standard AT&T billing dispute form, within thirty days after the bill date; (b) CUSTOMER pays the undisputed portion of all charges; and (c) CUSTOMER cooperates reasonably with AT&T's efforts to investigate and resolve the dispute. If AT&T determines a disputed charge was billed in error, AT&T shall issue a credit to reverse the amount incorrectly billed. If AT&T determines a disputed charge was billed correctly, payment shall be due from CUSTOMER within five days after AT&T advises CUSTOMER in writing that the dispute is denied. 5. DEPOSITS. Using its Deposit standards, AT&T has assessed and CUSTOMER shall pay the initial Deposit amount specified on the Cover Sheet before Services are provided. AT&T may require CUSTOMER, during the term of this Agreement, to tender a deposit in an amount to be determined by AT&T in its reasonable discretion. AT&T will rely upon commercially reasonable factors to determine the need for and amount of any deposit. These factors may include, but are not limited to, payment history, number of years in business, history of service with AT&T, bankruptcy history, current account treatment status, financial statement analysis, and commercial credit bureau rating, as well as commitment levels and anticipated monthly charges. Any deposit will be held by AT&T as a guarantee for the payment of charges. A deposit does not relieve CUSTOMER of the responsibility for the prompt payment of bills. Interest (at the rate of 6% per year or such other rate as is applicable by law) will be paid to CUSTOMER for any period that a cash deposit is held by AT&T. AT&T may apply a deposit against past due charges at any time. 6. OBLIGATIONS REGARDING TAXES. CUSTOMER shall pay any applicable taxes (excluding those on AT&T's net income), fees, duties, levies and other similar charges (and any related interest and penalties) relating to the sale, transfer of ownership, installation, license, use or provision of the Services, except to the extent customer provides a valid exemption certificate to AT&T prior to the delivery of Services. 7. CUSTOMER is A CARRIER. CUSTOMER certifies it is a "common carrier" as defined in the Communications Act of 1934 (see 47 USC Sections 153(10) and 211), with all required operating authority. CUSTOMER further certifies either (a) it has filed an FCC Form 499-A with the Federal Communications Commission (individually or on a consolidated basis) in accordance with the registration requirement of 47 C.F.R. 64.1195, or (b) it will not resell interstate telecommunications service(s) provided by AT&T under this Agreement, unless it first registers with the Federal Communications Commission in accordance with the registration requirement of 47 C.F.R. 64.1195. 8. RESPONSIBILITIES OF CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER is responsible for interfacing and communicating with its End Users, for placing any orders, and for assuring that it and any Intermediate Providers comply with the provisions of this Agreement and with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements with respect to the Services. CUSTOMER is responsible for arranging premises access at any reasonable time so that AT&T personnel may install, repair, maintain, inspect or remove service components. 9. SOFTWARE. AT&T grants CUSTOMER a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive license (without the right to sublicense) to use, in object code form, all software and associated written and electronic documentation and data furnished pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, "Software"), solely in connection with the Services and solely in accordance with applicable written and electronic documentation. CUSTOMER will refrain from taking any steps to reverse assemble, reverse compile or otherwise derive a source code version of the Software. The Software shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of AT&T or its suppliers. "Third-Party Software" means Software that bears a copyright notice of a third party. "AT&T Software" means all Software other than Third-Party Software. CUSTOMER shall not copy or download the Software, except that CUSTOMER may make two copies of the Software, one for archive and the other for disaster recovery purposes. Any copy must contain the same copyright notices and proprietary markings as the original Software. CUSTOMER agrees to comply with any additional restrictions that are provided with any Third-Party Software. The term of the license granted with respect to any Software shall be coterminous AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL Subject to Nondisclosure Obligations GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS PAGE 2 with the Attachment which covers the Software and/or related Services. CUSTOMER shall assure that its Users comply with the terms and conditions of this Section. 10. WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO SOFTWARE. AT&T warrants that all AT&T Software will perform substantially in accordance with its applicable published specifications for the term of the Attachment that covers the AT&T Software. If CUSTOMER returns to AT&T, within such period, any AT&T Software that does not comply with this warranty, then AT&T, at its option, will either repair or replace the portion of the AT&T Software that does not comply or refund the amount paid by CUSTOMER for such failed or defective AT&T Software. This warranty will apply only if the AT&T Software is used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and is not altered, modified or tampered with by CUSTOMER or Users. 11. ABUSE OF SERVICE. The abuse of Service is prohibited. Using Service or permitting Service to be used in the following ways constitutes abuse:(a) interfering unreasonably with the use of AT&T service by others or the operation of the AT&T network; (b) with respect to Services that include the provision of terminating switched access over local exchange company facilities, carrying calls that originate on the network of a facilities-based interexchange carrier other than AT&T and terminate disproportionately to domestic locations for which AT&T's cost of terminating switched access (based on the published access rates of the incumbent local exchange companies) is above AT&T's price for the call under this Agreement (after application of discounts); (c) subjecting AT&T personnel or non-AT&T personnel to hazardous conditions; (d) attempting to avoid the payment, in whole or in part, of any charges by any means or device (non-payment of billed charges will not be considered abuse of service for purposes of this Section); or (e) using the Services or displaying or transmitting Content in a manner that violates any applicable law or regulation. In any instance in which AT&T believes in good faith that there is abuse of Service as set forth above, AT&T may immediately restrict, suspend or discontinue providing Service or prevent the display or transmission of Content, without liability on the part of AT&T, and then notify CUSTOMER of the action that AT&T has taken and the reason for such action. To the extent doing so does not interfere with its ability to prevent abuse of Service (to be determined in AT&T's reasonable judgment), AT&T will attempt to notify CUSTOMER before taking such action, and will attempt to limit any restriction, suspension or discontinuance under this Section to the locations, Content, or Services with respect to which the abuse is taking place. 12. DEFAULT. If a party breaches any material term of this Agreement and the breach continues unremedied for 60 days after written notice of default, the other party may terminate for cause any Attachment materially affected by the breach. If CUSTOMER is in breach of its payment obligations (including failure to pay a required deposit), and fails to make payment in full within 5 days after receipt of written notice of default, AT&T may, at its option, terminate the Agreement, terminate affected Attachments, suspend Service under the affected Attachments, and/or require a deposit, advanced payment, or other satisfactory assurances In connection with any or all Attachments as a condition of continuing to provide Services; except that AT&T will not take any such action as a result of CUSTOMER's non-payment of a charge subject to a timely billing dispute, unless AT&T has reviewed the dispute and determined that the charge is correct. An Attachment may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice if the other party has become insolvent or involved in a liquidation or termination of its business, or adjudicated bankrupt, or been involved in an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. CUSTOMER shall be liable to AT&T for Termination Charges, as specified in a terminated Attachment, in the event that AT&T terminates an Attachment as a result of a breach by CUSTOMER. Termination by either party of an Attachment does not waive any other rights or remedies it may have under this Agreement. 13. NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AT&T MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING BY USAGE OF TRADE, COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. AT&T DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS BY THIRD PARTIES. AT&T DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND ON ITS BEHALF AND CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANYONE MAKING SUCH STATEMENTS. 14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFICATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, ADVANTAGE, SAVINGS OR REVENUES OF ANY KIND, OR INCREASED COST OF OPERATIONS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SURVIVE FAILURE OF AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ACTIVE AND PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE).

Changes in economic, business or competitive conditions are not force majeure conditions. If CUSTOMER is unable to meet its commitments as a direct result of a force majeure condition, CUSTOMER may suspend its commitments for one full billing month (or longer, with AT&T's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The effect of such a suspension of commitment will be to exclude the affected month(s) from all calculations' affecting the CUSTOMER's commitments and to extend the term of this Agreement by the same number of months. CUSTOMER must provide notice to AT&T of the force majeure condition giving rise to the right to suspend commitments within 30 days after its occurrence. 16. INDEMNIFICATION. CUSTOMER shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AT&T and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from any and all claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising on account of or in connection with CUSTOMER's use, resale or sharing of the Services, including but not limited to: (a) claims for libel, slander, invasion of privacy; (b) claims for infringement of copyright arising from any communication using the Services; (c) claims arising from any failure, breakdown, interruption or deterioration of service provided by AT&T to CUSTOMER or by CUSTOMER to End Users or Intermediate Providers; (d) claims arising from CUSTOMER's marketing efforts; and (e) claims of patent infringement arising from combining or using services or equipment furnished by AT&T in connection with services or equipment furnished by others. CUSTOMER's indemnification obligations do not AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL Subject TO NONDISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS PAGE 4 apply to claims for damages to real or tangible personal property or for bodily injury or death negligently caused by AT&T. AT&T shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CUSTOMER and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from all claims of patent infringement arising solely from the use of the Services. (Whenever AT&T is responsible under the preceding sentence, AT&T may at its option either procure the right for CUSTOMER to continue using, or may replace or modify the alleged infringing Service so that the Service becomes noninfringing. If those alternatives are not reasonably achievable, AT&T may terminate the affected Attachment without termination liability to either party.) The indemnified party under this Section 16: (I) must notify the other party in writing promptly upon learning of any claim or suit for which indemnification may be sought, provided that failure to do so shall have no effect except to the extent the other party is prejudiced thereby; (ii) shall have the right to participate in such defense or settlement with its own counsel and at its sole expense, but the other party shall have control of the defense or settlement; and (iii) shall reasonably cooperate with the defense. 17.

Except to the limited extent (if any) as may be required under law, neither CUSTOMER nor an Intermediate Provider shall indicate or imply to any existing or potential End User (or Intermediate Provider) that any portion of the service provided to the End User (or Intermediate Provider) by CUSTOMER or the Intermediate Provider is provided by AT&T or is carried over the AT&T network or AT&T facilities. 18. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. The relationship between the parties shall be that of independent contractors and not of principal and agent, employer and employee, franchiser and franchisee, partners or joint venturers.

NON-WAIVER. The failure of a party to enforce any right under this Agreement at any particular point in time shall not constitute a continuing waiver of any such right with respect to the remaining term of this Agreement, or the waiver of any other right under this Agreement. 31. SEVERABILITY.
