Crexendo intends to provide resold local exchange services and to purchase unbundled

Crexendo seeks authority to provide all forms of intrastate local exchange and interexchange

providing terms and conditions for its proposed services.
Crexendo states that it will not require advanced payments or deposits and seeks a waiver
of the Commission's requirement for an escrow account for those payments. The Company also
explicitly states that it has reviewed the "laws and regulations" of this Commission and agrees to
comply with them.

the following conditions:
