numbered sequentially. From time to time new pages may be added to the tariff. When a new
page is added between existing pages, a decimal is added to the preceding page number. For
example, a new page added between pages 5 and 6 would be numbered 5.1.
Page Revision Numbers. Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of pages. These
numbers are used to determine the most current page version on file with the Commission. For
example, the 4th Revised Page No. 14 cancels the 3rd Revised Page No. 14.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence. There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level of coding
is subservient to its next higher level, as shown by the following example:

accompanies the tariff filing. The check sheet lists the pages contained in the tariff, with a cross-
reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added, the check sheet is changed

charges. Any applicant who is either not a previous Customer
having an established prompt payment record or whose credit

usage of ORBITCOM’s services for any specific Customer. The
amount of such usage may be estimated from past usage, or the

2.12.2 Deferment of Start of Service
If a request for deferment of service is received by ORBITCOM
prior to the date an order for equipment or service is placed with
ORBITCOM’s supplier, no charge shall apply. For deferments
received by ORBITCOM subsequent to the date the order for

monthly recurring charge based upon the costs incurred prior to the
request for the deferment applies. This monthly rate shall be equal
to the deferred investment multiplied by the monthly prime interests
rate as announced by First Premier Bank of Sioux Falls, SD., plus
recurring costs resulting directly from the deferral such as storage,
taxes, etc. In addition, any extraordinary nonrecurring costs
resulting from the deferral, such as additional engineering, labor,
and transportation, shall be billed in total. Billing shall start at the
beginning of the month of deferment and extend to the start of
service. Charges shall not exceed the monthly rate that would have
applied had the service been established. ORBITCOM will also
charge the Customer who defers service any and all rates and
charges incurred by ORBITCOM for any leased facilities for which
ORBITCOM is held responsible. ORBITCOM will make a good
faith effort to minimize those rates and charges wherever possible.

From time to time ORBITCOM may engage in special service offerings of
