expiration of the Circuit Lease Term for the Circuit upon * prior
written notice thereof to Lessor and payment of all termination charges set
forth below. Such termination charges shall include:
(i) In the event such termination occurs prior to the Activation Date
specified with respect to such Circuit, all nonrecoverable costs of the
implementation of, and expenditures or liabilities reasonably incurred and
directly connected with, the provision of Service, including, but not limited
to, all professional, consulting and other costs incurred by Lessor in
furtherance of implementing such Service provided that total costs do not
exceed one month's recurring cost for the Circuit; and
(ii) In the event such termination occurs at or after the Activation Date
specified with respect to such Circuit, Lessee shall pay all charges hereunder
for the period during which Service is rendered on such Circuit. If Service on
a Circuit is terminated prior to the expiration of the Circuit Lease Term for
such Circuit, Lessor shall make its best efforts to lease Service on such
Circuit at no less than the Monthly Lease Rate for such Circuit. In the event
Lessor cannot lease Service on such Circuit on the same or substantially
similar terms and conditions as set forth herein, Lessee shall be liable to
Lessor for payment (1) for the total amount due through the end of the term of
the Circuit Lease

Term for such Circuit with respect to such Circuit less (2) the total amount
collected by Lessor from any other lessee with respect to such Circuit.
(b) Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor of any material breach in
performance hereunder. Lessor shall have * after such notice to cure

including but not limited to, compliance with the material technical and
operational MCI Specifications, Lessee may terminate Service on the affected
Circuits. In the event of such termination, Lessee's liability with respect to
such Circuits shall be limited to the Monthly Lease Rate for the affected
Service which was properly rendered prior to the effective date of such
termination.
(c) In the event Lessor fails to provide (after using its best efforts as
set forth in Section 2(c)) the Service with respect to any Circuit within *
* of the Requested Service Commencement Date for such Circuit, then
Lessee, at its option, may terminate that Service on the affected Circuit
without any further liability of either party whatsoever with respect to such
Circuit. In the event any Circuit ordered hereunder is not made available by
MCI, Lessor may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Circuit without
liability to Lessee.
6. Force Majeure. Lessor shall not be liable for any interruptions of
Service which are solely attributable to interruptions of Service by MCI or to
causes outside Lessor's reasonable control, including fires, floods, national
emergencies, insurrections, riots, civil disorders, wars, or acts of God so
long as it uses its best efforts to restore Service within * after the
initiation of the interruption. Should Lessor fail to restore the service
within such * Lessee may, as its sole remedy hereunder, terminate
the affected Service without further liability for the termination of such
affected Service.
7. Allowance for Service Outage Periods.
(a) A Circuit shall be deemed to be in an outage condition under this
Agreement if, while Lessee is using or attempting to use such Circuit, such
Circuit loses continuity and fails to comply with MCI's Specifications. An
outage period begins when a report is received by Lessor's Customer Service
Group from Lessee by telephone that Service has been interrupted and that such
Circuit is released for repair. An outage period ends when Lessor notifies
Lessee by telephone that Service has been restored to the level set forth in
MCI's Specifications.
(b) A credit for each outage period shall be allowed and calculated as
follows:
(i) Lessee is credited for any outage period at the rate of 1/1440 of the
monthly rate or charge applicable to the actual Service which is subject to the
outage period for each 1/2 hour or major fraction thereof that an outage period
continues.

-5-
<PAGE> 6
(ii) No credit shall be allowed with respect to any period during which
Lessee fails to afford access to any facilities provided by Lessor for the
purpose of investigating and correcting an interruption to Service.
(iii) The Monthly Lease Rates used to determine any credit hereunder
shall be the then current Monthly Lease Rates being assessed.
(iv) In no event shall any credit be allowed hereunder (1) in excess of
the then current Monthly Lease Rate for the applicable Circuit or (2) with
respect to any Circuit for which Lessee (A) fails to make or (B) is excused
from making any payment because of operation of law or any other reason.
(c) Calculations of credits shall be based upon Lessor's Customer Service
Group Log maintained in Lessor's Network Status Center.
(d) No credit allowance will be made for outage periods:
(i) caused by Lessee;
(ii) caused by the failure of equipment or systems provided by Lessee or
persons other than Lessor (unless Lessor has engaged such persons to provide
the equipment or systems which failed), in particular, any provider of local
access service;
(iii) occurring with respect to a Circuit released by Lessee to Lessor to
perform maintenance, to make rearrangements, or to implement an order for a
change in the Circuit during the time that was agreed with Lessee prior to the
release of such Circuit (thereafter, a credit allowance as set forth above will
be applied), or
(iv) occurring with respect to a Circuit which Lessee elects not to
release for testing or repair and continues to use on an impaired basis.
(e) The credit provided for hereunder shall be Lessor's sole liability and
Lessee's sole remedy in the event of any outage periods or interruption of
Service, except as set forth in Section 5.
(f) In the event of an outage period that is required for maintenance by
Lessor, Lessor shall use its best efforts to give Lessee notice thereof by
telephone so that adequate alternative measures can be taken by Lessee. Lessor
will use its best efforts to schedule such Service interruptions on weekends
between midnight and 3:00 a.m. Service credits will not apply to scheduled
Service interruptions. Lessor shall use all reasonable efforts to give Lessee
two weeks' notice of scheduled maintenance when possible but in no event less
than 72 hours where such maintenance will require a Service interruption.

CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE SUPPORT
----------------------------
MSM's standard fees for customer maintenance support services are as
follows (unless set by precedence in a service contract):
Maintenance services shall be defined as all work performed by MSM on
equipment provided by or on behalf of the Customer, or supervision of the
Customer's work within MSM's terminate facilities. Maintenance Service charges
are not billed for troubles found within that portion of a circuit provided by
MSM. The following billing rates apply for these services:
A. $75 per hour (4 hour minimum-if dispatch is required) Monday
through Friday during the business hours of 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. local time,
exclusive of the following holidays:
New Years Day
President's Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day and the day after Thanksgiving
Christmas Day
B. $95 per hour (4 hour minimum) for overtime work done after business
hours (defined above) and/or on holidays (defined above) and/or all day on
Saturdays and Sundays.
C. As requests for maintenance services are typically made via
telephone, MSM must be advised, in writing as to the person(s) who are
authorized to request service. It is the Customer's responsibility to keep MSM
apprised of any changes to its list of representative(s).
D. To request technical assistance and help under the maintenance
services, a call must be made to our Network Control Center at 1-800-526-2488.
This number should be used for MSM technical assistance, troubleshooting or
testing of circuits, not for service impairment or outages. The person calling
in must be on the authorized list in order to commit for charges for this
technical assistance. If that person is not on the list, the request cannot be
accommodated.
1. The Network Control Center personnel will take the call,
record the caller's name and phone number along with facts concerning the
assistance and support needed. The caller will then be given the number of the
"Assistance Ticket."
2. Upon completion of work, this "Assistance Ticket" will be
given to MSM's Accounting Department, and the customer will subsequently be
billed based upon the information on that ticket. A copy will be attached to
the invoice.
E. Except for emergencies, MSM technicians cannot be dispatched
unless requests are made in accordance with the above call-out procedure.
