IMPORTANT NOTICE RELATING TO THIS GUIDE AND FORMER TARIFFS

Prior to August 1, 2001, service was furnished under MCI WORLDCOM Communications Tariff FCC No. 6 filed with the Federal Communications Commission and now canceled. Beginning August 1, 2001, service is being furnished pursuant to this Guide and any underlying written contract between the Company and the Customer.

Please note the following regarding this important change.

· MCI WORLDCOM Communications Tariff FCC No. 6 was amended on June 23, 2001 to incorporate new or revised General Definitions and new or revised General Terms and Conditions of Service contained in WorldCom Tariff FCC No. 1. Like the service in former MCI WORLDCOM Communications Tariff FCC No. 6, these General Definitions and General Terms and Conditions are now part of this Guide and, therefore, are part of customer service contracts. Some of the definitions and terms and conditions contained in former MCI WORLDCOM Communications Tariff FCC No. 6 are reflected in the General Definitions and General Terms and Conditions of Service and, accordingly, were removed from the former tariff at the time of detariffing on July 31, 2001. This explains why there may be omissions or gaps in the service information previously found in MCI WORLDCOM Communications Tariff FCC. No. 6 and currently contained in this Guide.

· Except as noted in the preceding paragraph, the text of this Guide replicates the information contained in former MCI WORLDCOM Communications Tariff FCC No. 6 on July 31, 2001.

· If there is an inconsistency between a General Definition or a General Term and Condition, a service-specific definition or term and condition, or a definition and term and condition contained in a written contract between the Company and the Customer, the relationship with the Customer will consist of the following, in order of precedence from (1) through (3): (1) the definition or term and condition in the written contract; (2) the service-specific definition or term and condition; and (3) the General Definition or Term and Condition. An inconsistency will be deemed to include any instance in which a service-specific definition or a service-specific term and condition has no counterpart in the General Definitions or the General Terms and Conditions of Service.

· The Company may change the Guide from time to time and any change made will be binding on customers after fulfillment of the notice period set forth in Section 7.B of the General Terms and Conditions.

· Any reference to tariff within the text of the Guide shall mean Guide.

B) The Customer shall be credited for an interruption of 2 hours or more at the rate of 1/360th of the monthly charge for the facilities affected for each period of 2 hours or major fraction thereof that the interruption continues. ( A billing period has 30 days and service is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every month will have 720 hours.)

C) Where a minimum usage charge is applicable and the Customer fails to meet a usage minimum, credit for the outage shall be applied against that minimum equal to 1/360th of the monthly minimum charges associated with the portion of service disabled for each period of 2 hours or major fraction thereof that the interruption continues.

2.9 INTERCONNECTION

2.9.1 When the services or equipment of the Company are interconnected with and/or terminated in any service and/or equipment of another communications common carrier, the Customer shall comply with any applicable tariff regulations of and/or contractual obligations it has to the other communications common carrier.

2.9.2 The Company shall be appointed agent of the Customer to arrange interconnection from the Company's point of presence (POP) to the Customer's facilities unless otherwise specified. The Customer shall be responsible for payment of local access line charges for such interconnections secured on its behalf. The rates charged for local access service are determined by the local exchange company or other third parties utilized by the Company in arranging local access service. The Customer acknowledges that the Company may rely on these companies for installation and testing of local access lines. The Company is not liable for untimely installation, facilities not operating or equipment that is not provided by the Company.

2.9.3 Interconnection of the Company's services or equipment with the services of other communications common carriers is permitted as well as Customer-provided communications facilities so long as the facilities and services provided by others do not interfere with the proper functioning of the facilities and services provided by the Company.

2.10 EQUIPMENT

2.10.1 Customer Obligations

A) The Customer shall assume all responsibility for obtaining all necessary permits, authorization or consents for interconnecting Customer-provided equipment or facilities with the Company's services or facilities as well as ensuring that the Customer-provided equipment or facilities are properly interfaced with the Company's services or equipment.

B) Access to and release of Company-provided facilities located on the Customer's premises for testing and repair will be required for failures of equipment or service and/or routing maintenance. The Company will notify the Customer in advance of such necessary access or release and will attempt to schedule the access or release at a mutually convenient time. For charges contemplated in the tariff, such testing and repair and/or routine maintenance will be performed during regular business hours. When, at the specific request of the Customer, such routine maintenance, testing and/or repair is performed outside of regular business hours, additional special service charges may apply.

C) The Customer shall operate its equipment and facilities in such a manner that its use of the Company's facilities shall not interfere with any other Customer's use of the Company's services or equipment.

D) The Customer shall provide adequate space, electrical power, wiring, HVAC and electrical outlets necessary for the proper operation of the Company's equipment on the Customer's and/or authorized user's premises.

E) The Customer shall be responsible for all loss regardless of cause (other than directly resulting from an act or omission of the Company) to the Company's equipment on the Customer's or its authorized user's premises.

F) The Customer is responsible for ensuring that, except for Customer authorized and qualified personnel, no one attempt to adjust, modify, move or otherwise interfere in any way with the continuous operation of the Company's equipment located at the Customer's or authorized user premises.

G) The Customer shall comply with the minimum protective criteria generally accepted in the telephone industry and other appropriate criteria as may be prescribed by the Company to protect the integrity of service or for safety reasons.

H) The Customer shall be responsible for the installation, operation or maintenance of any Customer-provided equipment. Where such equipment is connected to service furnished pursuant to this tariff, the responsibility of the Company shall be limited to the furnishing of services under this tariff and to the maintenance and operation of such services in the proper manner. Subject to this responsibility, the Company shall not be responsible for the following:

(1) the through transmission of signals generated by Customer-provided equipment or for the quality of, or defects in, such transmission;

(2) the reception of signals by Customer-provided equipment; or

(3) network control signaling where such signalling is performed by Customer-provided network control signalling equipment.

2.10.2 Terminal Equipment

A) The Company's facilities and service may be used with or terminated in Customer-provided terminal equipment or Customer-provided communications systems. Such terminal equipment shall be furnished and maintained at the expense of the Customer, except as otherwise provided in this tariff. The Customer is responsible for all costs at his premises, including Customer personnel, wiring, electrical power, and the like, incurred in the use of the Company's service.

B) When such terminal equipment is used, the equipment shall comply with the minimum protective criteria set forth below and shall not interfere with service furnished to other Customers. Additional protective equipment, if needed, shall be employed at the Customer's expense.

C) When service using voice grade facilities is terminated in Customer‑provided terminal equipment, channel derivation devices, or communications systems, the Customer shall comply with the following minimum protective criteria:

(1) When the facilities furnished under this tariff are used in common with local exchange carrier services, it is necessary in order to prevent excessive noise and cross talk, that the power of the signal applied to the local lines be limited. A single valued limit for all application cannot be specified. Therefore, the power of the signal in the band over 300 hertz which may be applied by the Customer ‑provided equipment at the point of termination will be specified by the carrier for each application, to be consistent with the signal power allowed on the telecommunications network.

(2) To protect the telecommunications services from interference at frequencies which are above the band of service provided, the carrier will specify the acceptable signal power in the following bands to be applied by the Customer provided equipment or communications system at the point of termination to insure that the input to the Carrier's facilities does not exceed the limits indicated.

(a) The power in the band from 3,995 hertz to 4,000 hertz shall be at least 18 dB below the power of the signal as specified in Subsection (1) preceding.

(b) The power in the band from 4,000 hertz to 10,000 hertz shall not exceed 24 dB below one miliwatt.

(d) The power in the band from 25,000 hertz to 40,000 hertz shall not exceed 36 dB below one miliwatt.

(e) The power in the band above 40,000 hertz shall not exceed 50 dB below one miliwatt.

(3) Where there is connection via Customer‑provided terminal equipment or communications systems to a Message Telecommunications Service, to prevent the interruption or disconnection of calls or interference with network control signaling, it is necessary that the signal applied by the Customer‑ provided equipment to the interface at no time has energy solely in the 2450 to 2740 hertz band. If signal power is in the 2450 to 2750 hertz band, it must not exceed the power present at the same time in the 800 to 2450 hertz band.

(4) Where such Customer‑provided equipment or communications system applies, signals having components in the frequency spectrum below 300 hertz, excluding ringing signals, the currents and voltages (including all harmonics and spurious signals) at the interface shall not exceed the limits indicated in (a) through (d) the following:

(a) The maximum rms (root‑mean‑square) value, including dc and ac components of the current per conductor shall not exceed 0.35 ampere.

(b) The magnitude of the peak of the conductor or ground voltage shall not exceed 70 volts.

(c) The conductor voltage shall be such that the conductor‑to‑ground voltage limit in (2) preceding is not exceeded. If the signal source is not grounded, the voltage limit in (2) preceding applies to the conductor‑to‑conductor voltage.

(d) The total weighted rms voltage within the band from 50 hertz shall not exceed 100 volts. The total weighted rms voltage is the square root of the sum of the products times the square of the rms voltage of the individual frequency components.

For Frequencies Between Weighing Factor

50 Hertz and 100 Hertz f2/104

100 Hertz and 300 Hertz f3.3/106.6

Where f is the numerical value of the frequency, in hertz, of the frequency component being weighted.

D) If the Customer fails to maintain and operate its terminal equipment properly, resulting in the occurrence or possibility of harm to the Company's equipment, personnel, or the quality of service to other Customers, the Company may, upon written notice, require repair, maintenance or the use of protective equipment at the Customer's expense. If such repair, maintenance or use of protective equipment fails to produce satisfactory results, the Company may, upon written notice terminate the Customer's service immediately.

2.11 CANCELLATION OF SERVICE

2.11.1 For any of the following reasons, the Company may discontinue service or cancel an application for all services without incurring any liability. Separate accounts for the same Customer are also subject to this provision.

A) In the event that a Customer's bill remains unpaid after more than thirty days following rendition of the bill.

B) In the event of a violation of any regulation governing the service under this tariff.

C) In the event of a violation of any law, rule, or regulation of any government authority having jurisdiction over the service.

D) Where Company is prohibited from furnishing services by order of a court or other government authority having jurisdiction.

E) In the event of fraudulent use of the Company's network by Customer, the Company will discontinue service and/or seek legal recourse to recover all costs involved in enforcement of this provision.

Service may be discontinued by the Company, without notice to the Customer, by blocking traffic to or from certain cities, or NXX exchanges, or by blocking calls using certain Customer authorization codes such as Calling Card codes, when Company deems it necessary to take such action to prevent unlawful use of its Service. The Company will restore Service as soon as it can be provided without undue risk.

Also, without incurring any liability, Company may discontinue the furnishing of Service(s) to a Customer immediately and without notice if the Company deems that such action is necessary to prevent or to protect against fraud or to otherwise protect its personnel, agents, facilities or Services.

2.11.2 Service may be canceled by the Customer only on not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the Company.

2.11.3 The discontinuance of Service by Company pursuant to this Section does not relieve the Customer of any obligations to pay the Company for charges due and owing for Service(s) furnished up to the time of discontinuance.

2.11.4 The remedies set forth herein shall not be exclusive and the Company shall at all times be entitled to all rights available to it under either law or equity.

2.11.5 Except as otherwise provided in this Tariff or as specified in writing by the party entitled to receive Service, notices may be given orally or in writing to the persons whose names and business addresses appear on the executed Service order.

2.12 SPECIAL CUSTOMER ARRANGEMENTS

2.14 TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY SERVICE (TRS)

TRS is a service which permits hearing and/or speech impaired Customers who have been certified, in writing, by a licensed physician, audiologist, speech pathologist, or appropriate state or federal agency, as having a hearing or speech impairment which precludes oral communications and who use a Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD), to complete calls to Customers who do not use TDD. Customers originating a call, either by voice or TDD, reach the TRS Center for their respective state via a toll free number. The completed call is rated as a call from the originating telephone number to the terminating telephone number.

Customers who wish to use TRS service must provide written application and certification of a speech or hearing impairment to the Company. The Customer shall designate to the Company one and only one telephone number associated with that Customer's service and telecommunications device.

Customers placing a call with the assistance of TRS will receive a 50 percent discount off Dial USA per minutes rates listed in Section 4.1.4, and will apply for usage up to $999.99 per month. This discount will apply for all interstate calls that are originated from and billed to the telephone number designated by the hearing or speech impaired Customer. TRS calls are not eligible for any discounts associated with other calling plans. All TRS calls are confidential. TRS calls may not be placed to 900 or 976 numbers.

SECTION 3 - APPLICATION OF RATES

3.1 DETERMINATION AND RENDERING OF CHARGES

Charges for service are applied on a recurring and non-recurring basis. Service is provided and billed on a monthly basis.

3.1.1 Start of Billing

For the purpose of billing, service will be deemed to be started on the day the service and its associated equipment, if any, is installed. Where billing is based upon Customer usage, Customer will be billed for all usage commencing on the date usage begins.

3.1.2 Minimum Service Period

Subject to the Company's right to cancel or suspend services as otherwise provided in this tariff, the minimum service period for services is thirty (30) days. Termination by Customer is effective thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written notice of cancellation. Termination by the Company is effective thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice or as otherwise set forth in this tariff or other agreement of the Customer and the Company.

In situations where a Special Customer Arrangements is requested, the minimum service period and charges will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

3.1.3 Application of Charges

All monthly recurring charges are billed one month in advance. Initial and final month's billing, when the service period is less than a month, will be prorated at 1/30th of the month's recurring charge for each day the service was rendered or equipment was provided.

Usage charges are billed monthly for the preceding billing period. For periods less than the monthly billing period, minimum usage charges are prorated at 1/30th of the monthly minimum amount for each day the service was rendered.

3.1.4 Calculation of Fractional Charges

Charges for a fractional part of a month are calculated by counting the number of days remaining in the billing period after service is furnished. Divide that number of days figure by thirty days (billing period). The result is then multiplied by the applicable monthly service charge to arrive at the appropriate fractional monthly service charge.

For each call the minimum charge shall be the applicable charge for the initial billing increment described for each service in this tariff, with use in excess of the initial billing increment charged at the applicable rate per minute. If the final interval of a call is less than the applicable billing increment, the fractional billing increment will be rounded up to the next full increment for purposes of billing.

All per call charges or credits of fractional cents shall be rounded to the next full cent unless otherwise stated in the specific product description contained in Section 4 of this tariff.

3.1.5 Rate Periods

The following Rate Periods will apply unless otherwise stated in the specific product descriptions. In cases where a call begins in one rate period and continues into another, the rate in effect in each period will apply to the portion of the call occurring within the applicable rate period.

BUSINESS DAY

All calls that occur between 8 A.M. through 4:59 P.M. Monday through Friday except on Company recognized Holidays listed in Section A preceding.

EVENING

All calls that occur between 5 P.M. and 10:59 P.M. Sunday through Friday.

OFF PEAK

All calls that occur between 5 P.M. and 7:59 A.M. Monday through Thursday, and all calls between 5 P.M. Friday and 7:59 A.M. Monday.

3.1.6 Billing Increments

Billing increments are product specific. All per call charges of fractional cents will be rounded to the next full cent unless otherwise stated in the specific product descriptions.

3.1.7 Calculation of Distance

Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on the airline distance between rate centers associated with the originating and terminating points of the call.

The airline mileage between rate centers is determined by applying the formula below to the vertical and horizontal coordinates associated with the rate centers involved. The Company uses the rate centers and associated vertical and horizontal coordinated that are produced by Bell Communication Research in their NPA‑NXX V&H Coordinate Tape and AT&T Tariff No. 10. The airline mileage between rate centers is calculated as follows, where V1 and H1 are the vertical and horizontal coordinates of point 1 and V2 and H2 are the vertical and horizontal coordinates of point 2.

FORMULA:

3.2 TIMING OF CALLS

Billable time for service is the duration of time between the called station answering and the called or calling station disconnecting, provided duration may be rounded in accordance with specific service descriptions in this tariff.

4.3 TOLL-FREE SERVICES

4.3.1 Service Description

Toll-Free Service is an inbound service originating on feature group facilities provided by the Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) and terminating on a Regular Business Line or a Special Access Line (SAL). This service enables the Customer to receive toll-free service calls at their residence or place of business.

A) The Company reserves the right to require an applicant for Toll-Free Service to supply the following information when requesting service: an initial traffic forecast, identification of anticipated busy hour, identification of its geographical marketing target areas, and a schedule of marketing and promotional activities. The Company may also require that a new traffic forecast be submitted by the Customer quarterly after service is initiated.

B) The Company's Toll-Free Service is furnished upon condition that the Customer contracts for adequate facilities to permit the use of this service without injurious effects upon it or any service rendered by the Company. The Company may terminate or refuse to furnish the Company's Toll-Free Service to any applicant, without incurring any liability and without notice to the Customer, if the use of the service would interfere with or impair any service rendered by the Company.

C) The Customer must obtain an adequate number of access lines for Company Toll-Free Services to handle the Customer's expected demand in order to prevent interference or impairment of this service or any other service provided by the Company considering: (1) total call volume; (2) average call duration; (3) time-of-day characteristics; and (4) peak calling period. The Company, without incurring any liability and without notice to the Customer, may disconnect or refuse to furnish Company Toll-Free Service to any Customer that fails to comply with these conditions.

D) If the Customer requests assignment of a specific Toll-Free Service telephone number, the Company may require the Customer to submit a number reservation agreement form to the Company. At no time may a Customer have more than ten (10) numbers reserved. Any reservation shall be for no more than fifteen (15) days, subject to restrictions specified in Section 2.4.5, and shall be subject to a reservation fee which will be credited to Customer's unpaid balance after the Company's Toll-Free Service has been in actual and substantial use for a consecutive sixty (60) day period.

E) Use of numbers: Each Company Toll-Free Service telephone number must be placed in actual and substantial use by the Customer. "Substantial use" shall mean a pattern of use that demonstrates an intent on the Customer's part to employ the number for the purpose for which it was intended; namely, to allow callers to reach the Customer, as indicated, for example, by at least 30 average monthly minutes of use or more. Any toll-free telephone number associated with the Company's Toll-Free Service that has not been placed in actual and substantial use during the first sixty (60) day period after service activation may be recovered upon written notice to the Customer.

Nothing in this Section, or in any other provision of this tariff, or in any marketing materials issued by or on behalf of the Company, shall give any person, including prospective Customers who have reserved toll-free telephone numbers hereunder or Customers who subscribe to and use the Company's Toll-Free Service or their transferee or assigns, any ownership interest or proprietary right in any particular toll-free number; however, upon placing a number actually and substantially in use, as defined above, the Company's Toll-Free Service Customers do have a controlling interest in this toll-free number(s). The Company Toll-Free Service Customers may retain the use of their toll-free number assignments, even following changes in their toll-free carrier and/or Resp. Org.

F) If a Customer places an order for the Company to carry Customer's already existing toll-free number service, the Customer shall provide to Company the contact names, telephone number and address of the Customer's Responsible Organization (Resp. Org.). Upon subscription to the Company's Toll-Free Service, the Customer may execute a Letter of Authorization to transfer Resp. Org. responsibility of its toll-free number(s) to the Company's Resp. Org. If the Customer elects to retain a non-Company Resp. Org., the Customer must notify the Company of any changes in the Customer's Resp. Org. in writing within 48 hours of the change. The Customer is responsible for all outstanding indebtedness for services provided by a previous Resp. Org. or toll-free service carrier. The Company assumes no responsibility or liability with respect to any obligations of Customer to such previous service providers existing at the time of transfer to Company.

G) Subject to execution of a Resp. Org. Service Agreement between the Company and the Customer, the Company Resp. Org. will perform the function of Resp. Org. for all Company Toll-Free Service orders unless the Customer requests another Resp. Org. The Company's Resp. Org. functions include 1) search for and reservation of toll-free numbers in the SMS/800; 2) creating and maintaining the toll-free number Customer record in the SMS/800; and 3) provision of a single point of contact for trouble reporting.

(1) Where the Company serves as the Resp. Org. for a Company Toll-Free Service Customer, the Company will, at the Customer's request, subscribe to Toll-Free Directory Listing for the toll-free number(s) assigned to the Customer. A charge for Toll-Free Directory Listings will apply as set forth in this Tariff. In the event that a Customer transfers its toll-free service to another Resp. Org., the Company shall cease to subscribe to Toll-Free Directory Listing Service on behalf of the Customer and the Customer is responsible for assuring that Toll-Free Directory Listing Service is maintained through the new Resp. Org. Customer is responsible for payment of any outstanding Toll-Free Directory Listing charges, including any unexpired portion of any minimum period applicable to such services, and the Company shall have no liability for any interruption or other delay, error, mistake, omission or other defect occurring in connection with the transfer of Toll-Free Directory Listing responsibility.

(2) Where the Company serves as the Resp. Org. for a Company Toll-Free Service Customer, it will, at the Customer's request, subscribe to Vertical Features obtained from Local Exchange Company access tariffs. When a Company Toll-Free Service Customer uses Vertical Features obtained by Company from Local Exchange Company tariffs, a charge will apply. This charge may not be counted toward the attainment of any volume or revenue commitment and will not be discounted.

(3) In the event that a Customer cancels its Company Toll-Free Service, the Customer may elect to retain the Company as its Resp. Org. Where the Company serves as Resp. Org. for a non-Company Toll-Free Service Customer, a charge for Resp. Org. Service will apply as set forth in this Tariff.

(4) In the event that a Customer cancels its Company Resp. Org. or Toll-Free Service, the Customer shall be responsible for all outstanding indebtedness to the Company and any outstanding charges applicable to any services obtained by or on behalf of the Customer by Company.

H) It is the Customer's responsibility to provide answer supervision back to the Company point of connection even when the Company Toll-Free Service is connected to switching equipment or a Customer-provided communications system. In such case, the equipment or system must provide appropriate supervision so that the measure of chargeable time begins upon delivery of the call to the Customer's switching equipment or communications system and ends upon termination of the call.

I) In accordance with FCC regulations, ANI shall only be used for billing and collection, routing, screening, and completion of the originating subscriber's call or transaction or for service directly related to the originating subscriber's call or transaction.

The ANI shall not be reused or resold without first notifying the originating telephone subscriber and obtaining affirmative consent of the subscriber for reuse or resale.

Unless the originating subscriber has given consent for the reuse or resale, any information provided shall not be used for any purpose other than:

performing the services or transactions that are subject of the originating subscriber's call;

ensuring network performance security, and the effectiveness of call delivery;

compiling, using and disclosing aggregate information; and

complying with applicable laws.

E) Customized Toll-Free Service

Customized Toll-Free Service allows the Company Toll-Free Service Customer to create complex applications by combining two or more of the following Toll-Free Options Features: Menu Routing, ANI Routing/Blocking or Extension Routing. The charges for Customized Toll-Free Service are the combination of applicable Usage Sensitive Charges, Non-recurring and Recurring Charges. However, each is determined separately.

(1) Non-recurring Charges

Non-recurring charges are non-usage sensitive and apply for each feature component used in the Customized Toll-Free Service. Non-recurring charges are the costs associated with installing combinations of features for a single toll-free number. These charges are the lesser of $2,500.00 or the combined Non-recurring charges for all features associated with the Customized Toll-Free Service unless otherwise indicated. Non-recurring charges should be computed as shown in the example following:

Example: Customized Toll-Free Service includes Menu Routing, Termination Overflow (dedicated) for two menu selections and MessageCentre (Announcement Only) for one extension.

Non-Recurring Recurring

Feature Component Charge Charge

Menu Routing $100.00 $ 50.00

Extension Routing 100.00 50.00

Termination Overflow #1 100.00 50.00

Termination Overflow #2 100.00 50.00

MessageCentre 25.00 30.00

Total Charges $425.00 $230.00

If the Total Non-recurring charge is greater that $2,500.00, then the Non-recurring Charge for the Customized Toll-Free Service is $2,500.00. If the Total Non-recurring charge using the method illustrated above is less than $2,500.00, then that Total Charge will be used as the amount of the Non-recurring charge.

E) Customized Toll-Free Service

(2) Recurring Charges

Recurring charges are non-usage sensitive and apply for each feature component used in the Customized Toll-Free Service. Recurring charges are the monthly costs associated with maintaining the custom messaging and routing information in the Company database. These charges are the lesser of $1,000.00 or the combined Recurring charges for all features associated with the Customized Toll-Free Service unless otherwise indicated. Recurring charges should be computed as shown in the example in A. above.

(3) Usage Sensitive Charges

(a) Per-minute Surcharges: Per-minute surcharges are incremental costs that are added to the toll-free usage charges for a given toll-free number to increase the Effective Rate Per Minute. Per-minute surcharges for Customized Toll-Free Service are based on the number of feature components with Per-minute surcharges that a call passes through before the call is extended to its final destination. If the call passes through only one feature with a Per-minute surcharge, the surcharge would be $0.03 cents per minute. If the call passes through two or more features with Per-minute surcharges, then the surcharge for that call would be $0.05 cents per minute.

Example: A Customer's Customized Toll-Free Service has two feature components: Menu Routing (with two menu selections) and Extension Routing. Menu selection (1) terminates the call to the switchboard. Menu selection (2) forwards the call to the Extension feature prompting the caller to enter the extension they are trying to reach. If menu selection (1) is chosen by the caller, the Per-minute surcharge added to the Customer's toll-free usage rate would be $0.03 cents per minute. If menu selection (2) is chosen by the caller, the Per-minute surcharge added to the Customer's toll-free usage rate would be $0.05 cents per minute.

(b) Access Surcharges: Access surcharges are charges that are billed in addition to the Effective Rate Per Minute. Access surcharges apply to all Customized Toll-Free Services that require the Company network to provide toll-free specific messaging or dialing information to the caller in order to complete the call. All Access surcharges for Customized Toll-Free Service will be billed to the Customer at $0.05 cents per minute unless otherwise indicated.

F) Resp. Org. Charges

Where the Company serves as a Resp. Org. for a non-Company Toll-Free Service Customer, the Company will collect from the Customer an amount equal to the tariffed Local Exchange Carrier Charges for SMS Toll-Free Database and related services. In addition, the following Company charges will apply:

If the minimum is not reached for Option A ESP and Options B through G, Customer will be charged the difference between Customers actual spend and the monthly minimum commitment. Multiple services and/or multiple locations using WorldOne Service can contribute to the overall monthly minimum commitment; however, Customer must allocate the minimum by service and location. Domestic toll-free, Domestic and International outbound calls contribute to determining monthly minimum usage. OnLine World Calling Card, Operator Services, and Directory Assistance usage are not included in determining monthly minimum usage.

Customer must reach its minimum monthly usage requirement associated with its selected option by the fourth invoice period and monthly thereafter.

B) WorldOne Extended Service Plan (ESP)

WorldOne is available to Customer through a ESP option if Customer agrees to commit to such service for a term of twelve (12), twenty-four (24), or thirty-six (36) months. Customers who elect the ESP will receive a discount off their selected option's domestic interstate, and intrastate outbound and toll-free rates. This discount will apply only to WorldOne's peak rates. Off-peak rates are discounted up to 20% off the applicable net peak rate. Customers who elect the ESP are subject to the following conditions:

(1) Customer must indicate which WorldOne service or services are to be included in the ESP. The discounts provided under this option become effective with the first full month's usage.

(2) If Customer terminates service prior to the end of the term of commitment in any manner other than stated in (3) following, Customer will be liable for a cancellation charge equal to the monthly minimum billing commitment times the number of months remaining in Customers commitment period through the expiration of the first year. If applicable, twenty-five percent of the balance remaining (monthly minimum billing commitment times the number of remaining months in the contract beyond the first year) also will be included (per service type). If the termination becomes effective after the completion of the first year, then the charge shall be equal to twenty-five percent of the balance remaining (monthly minimum billing commitment times the number of months remaining in the contract). The foregoing cancellation charge will apply unless Customer immediately converts to another Company service with equal or greater term and minimum usage requirement commitments, and Customer continues to use such Company Service for a period of months equal to or greater than the number of months remaining in the term during which the conversion takes place.

(3) Upon execution of the ESP Agreement, Customer has ninety (90) days from the date service is made available in which to notify the Company in writing, either by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), of Customer's desire to cancel the ESP Agreement without a charge or further obligation, except for charges incurred up to the date of termination, in the event that quality deficiencies solely caused by Company in the provision of telecom-munications service hereunder are demonstrated by Customer to affect adversely and materially Customer's telecommunications applications (such a termination under this clause constituting a Termination for Cause). A Termination for Cause shall not be effective unless Customer has reported trouble on an ANI or circuit-specific basis to (and received a corresponding trouble ticket from) the appropriate Company Support Center and a period of not less than thirty (30) days after receipt of Customer's written notice of termination has elapsed during which Company fails to correct such quality deficiencies. Notwithstanding the preceding, nothing contained herein shall impose any liability on Company and Customer's sole remedy shall be the termination of the affected service as described.

(4) All Customer requests to commence or terminate a WorldOne ESP must be made in writing, either by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), to the Company and received no later than thirty (30) days prior to the then existing term expiration date. If such notification is not received by Company within this timeframe, the WorldOne ESP agreement will be automatically renewed for a new term of commitment.

(5) If Customer cancels its agreement prior to the expiration of the term, it will be required to repay any promotional credits that were given in addition to other termination charges as noted above.

(6) OnLine World Calling Card usage is excluded from the (1) WorldOne ESP discounts.

C) WorldOne Association

The WorldOne Association program is a benefit package offered in conjunction with Basic WorldOne Service, which allows the individual users who are members or employees of the participating organization to receive additional product discounts. Members who elect to participate in the WorldOne Association program will receive Basic WorldOne products and OnLine World Calling Card Service. To qualify for WorldOne Association an organization generally must be a: (1) Trade association representing businesses or individuals in an industry, profession or business classification; (2) Business with franchises, agents, distributors, or multiple representatives; (3) Non-profit organization, or; (4) Buying group not organized merely to buy the Company's long distance for resale. The qualifying organization agrees to meet the following set of criteria within (6) months of undertaking to qualify and thereafter maintain them, and enters into a written agreement with the Company for the marketing of the Company's services. The group's members who have subscribed to the Company's services throughout the group must have aggregate billings, net of taxes, promotional credits, and surcharges, of at least $5,000 per month. The Company will render monthly statements to the individual members and the statement received will show all appropriate discounts. All sums due from members are the sole property of Company, and Company shall have the sole right to collect, enforce collection and settle such sums. The WorldOne Association member group shall receive a monthly report from Company listing members of the group who subscribe to the company service under this program.
