TARIFF FORMA T
Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Sheets are
numbered sequentially. However, new sheets are occasionally added to the tariff. When a new
sheet is added between sheets already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new sheet
added between sheets 14 and 15 would be 14.
Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each page.
These numbers are used to determine the most current sheet version on file with the Commission.
For example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd revised Sheet 14. Because of various
suspension periods, deferrals, etc. the Commission follows in their tariff approval process, the
most current sheet number on file with the Commission is not always the tariff page in effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level of coding
is subservient to its next higher level:
2.1.
1.1.
2. 1. LA.
2. 1. LA. 1.
1.1.A.1.(a).
1.1.A.1.(a).
(a).I.(i).
A.l.(a).I.(i).(l).
Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Commission, an updated check sheet
accompanies the tariff filing. The check sheet lists the sheets contained in the tariff, with a cross
reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added, the check sheet is changed
to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filing are designated by an asterisk (*). There
will be no other symbols used on the check sheet if these are the only changes made to it (i., the
format, etc. remains the same, just revised revision levels on some pages). The tariff user should
refer to the latest check sheet to find out if a particular sheet is the most current on file with the
Commission.

Liability of Carrier (Cont' d)
The Company assumes no responsibility for the availability or performance of any cable
or satellite systems or related facilities under the control of other entities, or for other
facilities provided by other entities used for service to the Customer, even if the
Company has acted as the Customer s agent in arranging for such facilities or services.
Such facilities are provided subject to such degree of protection or non-preemptibility as
may be provided by the other entities.
THE SERVICES SET FORTH HEREIN ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "
A V AILABLE" BASIS. THE COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED EITHER IN FACT OR BY
OPERATION OF LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE
EXCEPT THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. PRIMUS' MAXIMUM
LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE
SERVICE BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND PRIMUS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE
ESTIMATED MONTHLY CHARGES AS CALCULATED BY PRIMUS FOR THE
MONTH DURING WHICH SUCH LIABILITY ARISES.
The included tariff language does not constitute a determination by the Commission that
a limitation of liability imposed by the Company should be upheld in a court of law.
Acceptance for filing by the Commission recognizes that it is a court s responsibility to
adjudicate negligence and consequential damage claims. It is also the court
responsibility to determine the validity of the exculpatory clause.
If a third party solicits a Customer s order on behalf of Carrier or promotes or endorses to
the Customer the use of service, or provides all or a portion of such service with, for, or
on behalf of Carrier, or if a third party is involved in any other way, Carrier and such
third party shall have no greater obligation or liabilities to such Customer, and such
Customer shall have no greater rights or remedies against either Carrier or such third
party, whether under contract, warranty, tort or any other grounds, than if such a third
party had not been so involved.

are billed in six (6) second increments. No monthly minimum required.
TeraFon Service
TeraFon is a fully-integrated business service designed to meet the communication needs of
businesses with outbound and/or inbound service requirements. TeraFon provides both switched
and dedicated access capabilities. All services, switched and dedicated, inbound and outbound
are billed in six (6) second increments with a six (6) second minimum billing period.
TeraFon encompasses several pricing options (see section 4.15) with varying Minimum Monthly
Revenue Commitments ("MMRC") that reflect common spending patterns of the business
customer. International, interstate, intrastate and calling card calls contribute to the calculation of
gross monthly usage associated with the corresponding MMRC. Directory assistance and operator
service charges do not apply to the calculation of gross monthly usage.
The MMRC is applied to a single access type (switched or dedicated). The MMRC may be
applicable to a single service type (outbound, inbound or travel) or to a combination of the three
service types (outbound, inbound and travel). An account with inbound, outbound and travel
service, utilizing the same access type, will only have one MMRC.
Each TeraFon account will benefit from a 90-day ramp-up period in which to accrue sufficient
usage to meet the corresponding MMRCs. Once the ramp-up period has expired, customers
billing less than the product MMRC will automatically be assessed a fee equivalent to the
difference between actual gross usage and the pre-determined MMRC amount. Several TeraFon
service options contain term plan agreements. Customers terminating service prior to the

transmission (one party is unable to hear the other), or involuntary
disconnection caused by deficiencies in Service. Customer may also
be granted credit for reaching a wrong number. To receive a credit,
Customer must notify a Primus customer service representative and
furnish information, including the called number, the Service
subscribed to, the difficulty experienced, and the approximate time the
call was placed.

Primus, or (2) interruptions that are due to the failure of power
equipment, systems or services not provided by Primus. If Customer
elects to use another means of communications after one of the above
interruptions, or during a period when Customer is unable to place a
call over Primus facilities, the Customer must pay the charges for the
alternative Service used.
When a call has been disconnected, the Customer will be given a credit
allowance equivalent to the charge for the initial minute of the call made
reestablish communications with the other party. Where a call has been
interrupted due to poor transmission or one-way transmission, the Customer
will be given a credit allowance up to an amount equivalent to the charge for
the last three minutes of the interrupted call, or for an entire call if it lasted less
than three minutes. Customer who has reached a wrong number will be given
a credit allowance up to an amount equivalent to the charge for the initial
minute of the call to the wrong number if the Customer reports the situation
promptly to a Primus customer service representative.

11.5 An interruption period begins when the Customer reports to Primus that the
Service has been interrupted and releases it for testing and repair. An
interruption period ends when the Service is operative again. If the Customer
reports the Service to be inoperative but declines to release it for testing and
repair, the Service is deemed to be impaired, but not interrupted, therefore, no
credit for the interruption will be allowed.
11.6 If the Customer elects to use another means of communication during the
period of interruption, the Customer must pay the charges for the alternative
service used.
12 Mileage Measurement
Usage charges for all distance sensitive products are based on the airline distance
between rate centers associated with the originating and terminating points of the call.
Originating points for all services is the Customer s central office and the point of
termination is the central office where the call terminates.
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. Primus
uses the rate centers and associated vertical and horizontal coordinates that are produced
by Bell Communications Research in their NPA-NXX V and H Coordinates Tape and
Bell's NECA Tariff No. 4.
FORMULA:Mileage =
(Vl- V2 +(Hl- H2
Where VI and HI are the V and H coordinates of point 1 and V2 and H2 are the
coordinates of point 2.
The mileage is rounded up to an integer value to determine the airline mileage.

Timing of Calls:
On direct dialed outbound and inbound calls provided pursuant to this
tariff, and except as set forth in Section 5.5(C) below, chargeable
call duration accrues from the time the called party answers, as
indicated by Carrier s receipt of answer supervision, until one of the
parties hangs up, as detected by Carrier s equipment.
Carrier may receive answer supervision signaling directly from local
exchange carriers, may employ software answer supervision, or may
receive answer supervision from other interexchange carriers. These
other interexchange carriers may themselves employ either local
exchange carrier-provided answer supervision or some other method of
determining called party on-hook or off-hook status.
Call duration recording of Conference Calling and Operator Service
calls does not necessarily employ answer supervision on every call. C
Toll Free Service calls terminating on a Customer s PBX
comparable Customer premises equipment will be timed commencing
when Carrier receives answer supervision from such communications
system.

Customers are required to sign an authorization form to accept or decline a
term plan. All Intrastate, Interstate, International, Outbound Toll Free
International Toll Free, and Conference Call usage contributes towards
monthly commitment levels and receives discounts. The Customer has the
first 90 days of the term period to meet commitment. If the Customer
terminates the Service within the first 60 days of the term, Primus will charge
the Customer for all term plan discounts provided through Service disconnect
date. If total monthly billing is not equal to term plan commitment level, then
for that month, the Customer will be charged the difference between actual
usage and the term plan minimum. Term plans automatically renew for
periods equal to the initial period unless Primus notifies the Customer in
writing at least 60 days prior to expiration of the then current term, or unless
the Customer notifies Primus in writing at least 30 days prior to expiration.
Dedicated CBFB traffic is not eligible for S.N. S.N. is not available with
any other offers or discounts.
