An Enhanced Voice Solutions customer must commit to one of the following
minimum annual commitment levels of contributory usage charges: (1) $3,000, (2)
$6,000, (3) $12,000, (4) $36,000, or (5) $60,000. Enhanced Voice Solutions is
available on a one-year, two-year or three-year basis. Contributory usage charges
are aggregated across outbound, toll free, switched data (inbound and outbound);
all locations and all jurisdictions (intrastate, interstate and international) in order to
meet the minimum annual commitment level.
The Company reserves the right, after the conclusion of the first three billing months
of the Enhanced Voice Solutions customer’s contract, to move the customer to a
lower commitment level that is more directly comparable to the customer’s current
usage. Enhanced Voice Solutions customers terminating all Enhanced Voice
Solutions services prior to fulfilling their term commitment will be assessed a
termination liability in an amount equal to the underutilized portion of the MAC plus
the full MAC for any remaining 12 month periods in their term plan agreement. The
termination liability will be billed in one lump sum. Customers will not incur this
termination liability for their former term plan commitment if they request a new MAC
equal to or greater than the previous level and agree to sign a new term plan
agreement for a period equal to or greater than the term of their current plan. The
customer will, however, be assessed the termination liability if they terminate all
Enhanced Voice Solutions service prior to fulfilling their new term commitments.
(T)(N)
The rates in effect upon the commencement of the customer’s term plan will remain
in effect for the duration of the term plan. If the Company decreases the rates for
Enhanced Voice Solutions during the term plan, the Customer will receive the lower
rates on their first invoice following the effective date of the rate decreases. The
Customer may add associated locations at any time during the term. All usage from
subsequently-added associated locations will be exempt from any rate increases for
the remainder of the term.

9.1 Terms and Conditions In addition to the terms and conditions specified in Section 4 of this Price List, the terms and conditions specified following apply to Data Services.
9.1.1 Application for Service Application for Service is the Company order process that includes technical, billing and other descriptive information provided by the Customer which allows the Company to provide requested communications services for the Customer and Customer's authorized users. Upon acceptance by the Company, the Application for Service becomes a binding contract between the Customer and the Company for the provision and acceptance of services.
An Application for Service may be changed by Customer upon written notice to the Company, subject to acceptance and confirmation by the Company, provided that a charge shall apply to any change when the request is received by the company after notification by the Company of the acceptance and confirmation. Such charge shall be the sum of the charges and costs for access facilities and other services and features and the lesser of (i) the monthly recurring rate for each service component that has been canceled as a result of the change times the appropriate minimum service period, plus the applicable installation or non-recurring charges, and (ii) the costs incurred by the Company in accommodating each change, less net salvage.
Costs incurred by the Company will include the direct and indirect cost of facilities specifically provided or used; the costs of installation, including design preparation, engineering, supply expense, labor and supervision, general and administrative, and any other costs resulting from the preparation, installation and removal effort.
If the Customer or applicant delays activation of his service during the period thirty (30) days preceding the scheduled installation date for a period of more than one (1) week, normal charges for local distribution facilities (LDF) shall apply from the scheduled date of installation. In the event that the Customer-induced delay exists for more than thirty (30) days after the scheduled installation date, the Company may consider the delay a cancellation of application for service.
If special construction has been started prior to cancellation, a charge equal to the costs incurred in the special construction, less net salvage, applies. In determining the charge, cancelled service is treated as discontinued as of the date on which it was to have started when the Company incurs any expense in connection therewith or in preparation therefore which would not otherwise have been incurred, provided that the Customer or applicant had advised the Company in writing not to proceed with the installation or special construction.
If the Company should assume a termination liability or other obligation for an access facility, that liability or obligation shall be the responsibility of the Company’s Customer.

A. Cancellation of Application for Service
When the Customer or applicant has requested the Company to cancel the
application for service prior to service installation, cancellation charges will apply.

Pre-Access Service Request ("Pre-ASR") or the Post-Access Service Request
("Post-ASR") stage.
The Pre-ASR stage is when the ASR is complete but has not yet been sent to the
Local Exchange Company ("LEC") or the Alternate Access Vendor ("AAV"). The
Post-ASR stage is when the ASR is complete and has been sent to the LEC or AAV.
The amount of the cancellation charge will vary according to the category of service
ordered and at which stage the cancellation occurred (Pre-ASR or Post-ASR).
Categories of services are: (1) the Service Component based on IXC ordered and;
(2) the Access Component based on type of access ordered. See Service
Cancellation Charges in this Price List.

Such charge shall be the sum of the charges and costs for Private Line Service
incurred by the Company in accommodating each change including the direct and
indirect costs of facilities specifically provided or used; the costs of installation
(including design preparation, engineering, supply expense, labor and supervision,
general and administrative) and any other costs resulting from the preparation,

9.1.2 Obligations of the Customer
In instances where the Company is connecting its service to the Customer's own
Customer-provided communications system or equipment or to any service or
equipment provided by others, the Customer must ensure that the equipment or
system must provide answer supervision upon the delivery of the call to the switching
equipment or to the equipment connected to the communications system. When
service is directly connected to a communications system at a Customer's premises,
answer supervision must be provided when the call terminates in or passes through
the first Customer premise equipment on that communications system, such as but not
limited to when a call is (1) answered by a local station; (2) answered by an attendant;
(3) routed to a recorded announcement; or (4) routed elsewhere by the switching
system.
The Customer must obtain an adequate number of facilities for Company Services to
handle the Customer's expected demand in order to prevent interference or
impairment of this service and 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, may disconnect or refuse to furnish any toll free service to a Customer that
fails to comply with these conditions. In case of disconnection, the Customer will be
notified at least five days in advance of the disconnect. Notification may be by mail or
in person.
In compliance with the obligations imposed on the Company by the FCC, Customer
represents and warrants, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, subsidiaries, and agents,
that it is not a reseller and that it does not intend to resell the services or engage in
other activity that would require the Company to verify Customer's authorization as a
reseller as required by 47 CFR 64.1195. If Customer or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or
agents breach these representations or warranties, this agreement will terminate
immediately and subject Customer to the liability imposed for termination by the
Company for material breach. These provisions are not intended to prohibit resale, but
are intended to prevent misrepresentations by resellers in an attempt to circumvent the
rules or regulations of the FCC, or other governmental bodies with jurisdiction over the
provision of communications services for resale.
