part. Service furnished by the Company may not be used to make calls, which might
reasonably be expected to frighten, abuse, torment, or harass another. The Service may
not be used for any purpose for which any payment or other compensation is received by
the Customer except when the Customer is an authorized communications common
carrier, an authorized resale common carrier, or an enhanced or electronic service
provider who has subscribed to the Company's Service. However, this provision does
not preclude an agreement between the Customer, Authorized User, or Joint User to
share the cost of the Service as long as this arrangement generates no profit for anyone
participating in a joint use or authorized use arrangement.

2.4.4 Service furnished by the Company may be arranged for joint use or authorized use. The
Joint User or Authorized User will be permitted to use such Service in the same manner
as the Customer, but subject to the following conditions.

(A) The Customer must complete and provide to the Company all Service agreements
and/or other documentation required by the Company to initiate Service.

2.4.4 (continued)

(B) One Joint User or Authorized User must be designated as the Customer. The
designated Customer does not necessarily have to have communications
requirements of its own. The Customer must specifically name all Joint Users or
Authorized Users in the application for Service. Service Orders, which involve the
start, rearrangement or discontinuance of joint use or authorized use of Service
will be accepted by the Company only from that Customer and will be subject to all
requirements of this Tariff.

(C) All charges for the Service will be computed as if the Service were to be billed to
one Customer. The Joint User or Authorized User, which has been designated as
the Customer will be billed for all components of the Service and will be
responsible for all payments to the Company. If designated Customer fails to pay
the Company, each Joint User or Authorized User will be liable to the Company for
all charges incurred as a result of its use of the Company's Service. Each joint or
Authorized User must submit to the designated Customer a letter guaranteeing
payment for the joint or Authorized User's portion of all charges billed by the
Company to the designated Customer. This letter must also specify that the joint
or Authorized User understands that the Company will receive a copy of the
guaranty from the designated Customer. The designated Customer will be
responsible for allocating charges to each Joint User or Authorized User.

2.4.4 (continued)

(D) Joint use is a Service/billing allocation arrangement and not a resale arrangement.
Neither the Customer nor any Joint User nor any third party engaged by either of
them in connection with a joint use agreement or arrangement may mark up
Service or otherwise profit from the joint use agreement or arrangement.

2.4.5 If the Company reasonably concludes that Customer-provided equipment does not pass
back appropriate answer supervision to the long distance network, the Company will
notify the Customer. If the Customer cannot correct the problem and if Customer-
provided equipment continues to provide inappropriate answer supervision to the long
distance network, the Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the
Customer's Service. The Company will give the Customer five (5) days' written notice of
its intent to terminate Service.

2.4.6 From time to time, the Company may grant credits against usage or monthly recurring or
non-recurring charges in an amount not to exceed $1,000 per Customer or account per
monthly billing period whenever the Company determines in its sole discretion that such
credit is warranted due to considerations involving the delivery of past service to the
Customer or account receiving the credit.

2.4.7 The Customer will be billed directly by the LEC or CAP or any other authorized access
provider for the Dedicated Access arrangements selected by the Customer for the
provisioning of certain Switched Services. At the Customer's request, the Company may
act as agent in the ordering of such arrangements. In instances where the Company
orders such arrangements as an agent for the Customer, the Company will bill the Local
Access charges to the Customer.

2.4 Use of Service (continued)

2.4.8 Upon nonpayment of any sum owing to the Company, or upon a violation of any of the
provisions governing the furnishing of Service under this Tariff, the Company may, upon
written notification to the Customer, without incurring any liability, immediately
discontinue the furnishing of such Service. The Customer will be deemed to have
canceled Service as of the date of such disconnection and will be liable for any
cancellation charges set forth in this Tariff. If the Customer uses 10XXX or other carrier
access codes once the Customer's account has been canceled by the Company, the
Customer is a Customer of the DUC, not the Company; provided that where the
Company has a Carrier Identification Code (CIC) separate from that of the DUC and the
Customer uses 10XXX or similar means to access that CIC, the Customer remains a
Customer of the Company if the agreement between the Company and the DUC so
provides.

2.4.9 Nothing herein, or in any other provision of this Tariff, or in any marketing materials

Provider for service outages will be shown on the Customer's invoice on a pass-
through basis.

(E) Where billing systems allow, Credit Card billing and automatic withdrawal from the
Customer's checking or savings account are available. However, if a Customer
presents an undue risk of nonpayment at any time, the Company may require the
Customer to pay its bill in cash or the equivalent of cash.

(F) Monthly recurring charges for Service components are billed in advance of Service
and reflect the rates in effect as of the date of the invoice (e.g., bills generated in
January will cover the month of February). A Customer's first invoice may contain
charges from previous periods for Service provided from the date of installation
through the current invoice period. An Applicant for Service may be required to
pay in advance of the establishment of Service the applicable nonrecurring
charges together with the fixed charges applicable for the first month.

2.9.1 General (continued)

(G) For the purpose of computing partial-month charges, a month is considered to
consist of thirty days. If the Company has ordered Dedicated Access as an agent
of the Customer, the Company will not cease billing the Special Access Surcharge

Customer and the Local Access Provider acknowledges receipt of the Customer's
Exemption Certificate.

(H) Any Applicant for Service that was furnished Service under a former contract with
the Company shall pay or make satisfactory arrangements for paying any bill
outstanding and unpaid for such Service, before any additional Service will be
furnished.

(I) In the event that the Company's ability to commence or to continue to provide
Service in a timely manner is delayed or interrupted because of the non-
performance by the Customer of any obligation set forth in this Tariff, the
Customer shall pay to the Company amounts equal to the monthly recurring
charges which would have been paid had the Company been able to commence
or to continue to provide Service.

2.9.2 Direct Billing By Company And/Or Authorized Billing Agent

(A) General

Bills are sent to the Customer's current billing address no later than thirty (30)
days following the close of billing. All bills will be in English. Call detail is
available with the bill. Payment in full is due by the due date disclosed on the bill.
Charges are payable only in United States currency. Payment may be made by
check, money order, or cashier's check made payable as named on the bill and
sent to the address as listed on the bill. If the bill is not paid within thirty (30)
days from the invoice date, the Company may impose a late charge on the
delinquent amount. A late charge applies to any past due balance. The
Company may charge a late charge of 1.5% per month. The one-time penalty
shall apply on the undisputed amount or on the disputed amount if a dispute is
resolved in favor of the Company. When another telecommunications carrier

SECTION 2 - RULES AND REGULATIONS

2.12 Mileage Measurements

2.12.1 Calls are mileaged by the DUC that carries the call. The mileage between rate centers is
calculated based on V and H coordinates as obtained by reference to AT&T Tariff FCC
No. 10. Calculation between service wire centers is based on V and H coordinates as
obtained by reference to NECA FCC Tariff No. 4. The mileage for a call between access
lines associated with stations that use the same rate center is one mile. If Feature Group
B is used, the distance will be measured from the rate center of the tandem location or
network site to which the Feature Group B line is connected. If Feature Group D access
is used, the distance will be measured from the rate center of the calling number.

2.12.2 Airline mileage between service locations is calculated as follows:

FORMULA:

Where V1 and H1 are the V and H coordinates of point 1 and V2 and H2 are the
coordinates of point 2.

Mileage is rounded up to an integer value to determine the airline mileage.

2.13 Timing of Calls

2.13.1 On Station-to-Station calls and on Direct-Dialed calls chargeable time begins when the
called Station answers and the connection is established between the calling Station and
the called Station, miscellaneous common carrier, mobile radio system, or PBX system.
Answer detection is determined based on standard industry answer detection methods,
including hardware and software answer detection. However, when Services are directly
connected to a Customer-provided communications systems at the Customer's or End
User's premises, chargeable time begins when a call terminates in, or passes through,
the first Customer equipment on that Customer-provided communications system. It is
the Customer's responsibility to furnish appropriate answer supervision to the point of
interface with the Company's Service so that chargeable time may begin.

2.13.2 Chargeable time ends when the calling Station hangs up thereby releasing the network
connection. If the called Station hangs up but the calling Station does not, chargeable
time ends when the network connection is released either by the automatic timing
equipment in the telecommunications network or by the operator.

Different rates may be applicable to a call at different times of the day and on certain
days of the week, as specified in the appropriate rate schedule for that call. The rate
periods shown below apply. All times shown are local time at the calling station in the
case of an outbound call and at the called station in case of an inbound toll free call.

SECTION 2 - RULES AND REGULATIONS

2.15 Determining Rate In Effect

For outbound Services that are time-of-day sensitive, the time-of-day at the central office or POP
associated with the calling station determines the rate in effect. For Toll Free Services that are
time-of-day sensitive, the time-of-day at the central office or POP associated with the called
station determines the rate in effect. If a unit of time is split between two (2) or more rate periods,
each rate period applies to the portion of the call that occurred during that rate period rounded to
the nearest billing increment. For Dedicated Access Services, when a call or unit of time is split
between two rate periods, the rate is based on the rate period in which it began. If a Call is
completed by an operator, the time at the beginning of each initial or additional rate period
determines the applicable rate period. When a Call spans more than one rate period, total
charges for each rate period are calculated and the results for each rate period are totaled to
obtain the total message charge.

2.16 Application of Charges

2.16.1 Rounding

(A) Each usage sensitive Service has its own specific initial period and additional
period (collectively referred to as billing increments) as specified in Section 3 of
this Tariff. For all Services, fractions of a billing increment are rounded up to the
next higher increment for billing purposes.

(B) If the payphone surcharge includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded up
to the next higher whole cent.

(C) If the Customer re-originates one or more calls without re-dialing the toll-free
access number, timing of the usage is rounded at the end of the last call.

(D) Usage charges apply to all completed calls. The usage charges for each
completed call during a billing month will be computed. Rounding for charges for
Service(s) is on a call-by-call basis. If the charge for the call includes a fraction of
a cent of $.005 or more, the fraction of such charge is rounded up to the next
higher whole cent. Otherwise, the charge is rounded down to the next lower
whole cent.

2.16.2 BTN Account Changes

(A) Discounts

A change in Service or enrollment in a promotional offering that impacts the
Customer's usage discount is effective on the first day of the next billing cycle
after the change order is processed.

(B) Monthly Recurring Charges

If Service is provided for less than a billing cycle, all associated monthly recurring
charges will be prorated for the time Service was provided to the Customer.

2.16.3 TFS

Rates and charges apply to all TFS Numbers associated with the Customer's BTN. For
an existing Customer who subscribes to TFS in the middle of a billing cycle, monthly
recurring charges are prorated based on the amount of time the plan is in effect prior to
the first bill.

2.17.1 General

(A) In addition to the charges specifically pertaining to the Services, certain federal,
state, and local surcharges, taxes, gross receipts, and fees will be applied to these
Services. These taxes, surcharges, and fees are calculated based upon the
amount billed to the End User for Service(s). The Company may impose a
surcharge on its Customers to recover amounts it is required by governmental or
quasi-governmental authorities to collect from or pay to others in support of
statutory or regulatory programs. All federal, state, and local taxes, surcharges,
and fees (i.e., sales tax, gross receipts tax, municipal utilities tax, etc.) are listed
on the Customer's invoices, and unless otherwise specified herein, are not
included in the rates listed in this Tariff.

(B) Pending the conclusion of any litigation challenging a jurisdiction's or body's right
to impose any assessments, duties, fees, surcharges, taxes, or similar liabilities,
the Company may elect to waive or impose and collect a charge covering such
assessments, duties, fees, surcharges, taxes, or similar liabilities, unless
otherwise constrained by court order or direction. All such charges will be shown
as a separate line item on the Customer's bill. If the Company has collected any
assessments, duties, fees, surcharges, taxes, or similar liabilities and any of the
challenged assessments, duties, fees, surcharges, taxes, or similar liabilities are
found to have been invalid and not enforceable, the Company will credit or refund
such sums to each affected Customer if (1) the Company has retained such funds
or (2) the Company has remitted such funds to the collecting jurisdiction or body
and the funds have been returned to the Company

2.18 Interruption of Service

2.18.1 Without incurring liability, the Company may interrupt the provision of Services at any
time in order for tests and inspections to be performed to assure compliance with Tariff

2.19.4 Cancellation by Non-Usage

If billing records received from a DUC show that a Customer has had no usage with the
Company, on one or more lines for a period of forty-five (45) days or more, the Company
may conclude that the Customer has moved Service to another carrier, or disconnected
Service, whereupon the Company may treat the Service with the Company as having
been canceled by the Customer. In such event, the Company may inform the Customer
of such treatment. In the event the Company so informs the Customer and the Customer

Organization (Resp. Org.) change, until such time as all charges are paid in full
and all disputes, if any, resolved.

(D) The use or abuse of any Service described herein by any party including, but not

2.31 Toll Free Service (continued)

2.31.3 Ownership and Brokering of Numbers

(A) TFNs are incidental to the TFS(s) with which they are associated and, as such,
may not be sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed independent of TFSs. The
assignment of a Toll Free Number for use with Company-Provided Toll Free
Service confers on the Customer no proprietary interest whatsoever in the
number assigned. It will be a violation of this Tariff if the Customer seeks to
acquire, or does acquire, any TFN associated with TFS provided by the
Company for the primary purpose of selling, brokering, bartering or releasing for
a fee (or other consideration) to another party that Toll Free Number,
independent of the Company's Service with which it is associated.

(B) In any instance in which the Company learns that a Customer or prospective
Customer is attempting to sell or otherwise transfer or assign a TFN to another
person, in violation of this tariff, the Company may immediately and without
notice release the number from reserved status, or it may immediately upon
written notice by first class U.S. mail or other means of delivery selected by the
Company to the Customer, discontinue the furnishing of Service via the number,
whichever course of action is appropriate.

2.31.4 Release By the Company of Customer's TFS Number(s) for Porting to Other Carriers

(A) A Customer may request that the Company release its TFS Number(s) so that
another long distance service provider may provide toll free service to a
Customer. The Company will release a Customer’s TFS Number(s) only upon
the following occurrences:

any other payments or indebtedness due and payable to the Company
by the Customer or its successors or assignees relative to any
communications service(s) or Services(s) provided by the Company; and

payment for such communications service(s) or Service(s) have been
guaranteed or otherwise collateralized.

(B) The Company reserves the right to withhold its authorization of such transfer of
such Customer’s TFS Number(s) until the Customer’s indebtedness is resolved
to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Tariff and any agreement(s)
between the Customer and the Company.

(C) The failure of the Customer to fulfill the terms and conditions of any agreement
with the Company or the attempt to process a change of long distance service
provider for the Customer’s TFS Number(s) prior to the completion of a contract’s
terms and conditions (and/or before all payments and indebtedness have been
paid or satisfied) shall cause the ownership of the TFS Number(s) to revert from
the Customer to the Company, whereupon such Customer shall no longer
possess the right to transfer such TFS Number(s) to any other long distance
service provider and whereupon the Company shall have the right to reissue said
number(s) at its sole discretion to any other party.

(D) A canceled TFS Number can be reestablished for the same Customer within four
(4) months and, therefore, cannot be selected by another Customer. After four
(4) months, the TFS Number is returned to the pool where it can be selected by
another customer under any RespOrg.

For Customers subscribing to TFS and making a MMC, the minimum Service period is
one month. For Customers subscribing to TFS and making a MAC, the minimum Service
period is the length of the term plan commitment.

The company will, from time to time, offer one or more of the following promotions to its Customers
waiving or reducing certain rates, charges, fees, or penalties in response to media advertising,
direct mail solicitation, telemarketing and/or direct sales presentations. These promotional
offerings will be available to Customers who subscribe to one of the Services contained in this

to a particular Service for a specified term. The Company will provide the Commission a ten (10)
day advance notice prior to offering a promotion.
