THIS CARRIER AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between MIDCOM
Communications Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
Washington and having an office at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
("CUSTOMER") and AT&T Corp., a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the State of New York and having an office at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000 ("AT&T").
1. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.1. SERVICES PROVIDED.
AT&T shall provide the telecommunications services described in
Attachment A (collectively referred to as the "Services") to CUSTOMER pursuant
to the rates, terms and conditions of this Carrier Agreement, including the
Attachment hereto (collectively referred to as the "Agreement"), and (to the
extent necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations) pursuant to the
rates, terms and conditions of AT&T's state tariffs governing the Services.
1.2. DURATION OF AGREEMENT.
(a) This Agreement shall become effective on the date it is
executed by both parties (the "Effective Date"). The rates, terms and
conditions of this Agreement will not apply to the Services until the first day
of the Term.
(b) The Term of this Agreement shall be as specified in Attachment
A. The Agreement may be terminated prior to the end of the Term only as
specifically provided in this Agreement.
(c) The provisions of this Agreement will apply with respect to all
Services provided under this Agreement during the Term. Any Services provided
after the Term is over shall be provided on such terms as then generally apply
to AT&T customers for the same services with no term, revenue or volume
commitments.
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT

1.3. APPLICABILITY OF AT&T TARIFFS.
AT&T's tariffs filed with the F.C.C. shall apply to the Services to the
extent provided in Attachment A.
1.4. PROVISIONING.
CUSTOMER is responsible for placing any orders as necessary for AT&T to
provision the Services. CUSTOMER shall provide provisioning information as is
required according to AT&T's standard ordering procedures applicable to
CUSTOMER.
1.5. BILLING AND PAYMENT.
(a) CUSTOMER is liable for all amounts due to AT&T under this
Agreement. AT&T will provide to CUSTOMER a single monthly xxxx on magnetic tape
for each of the Services, except that, at AT&T's option, the billing for more
than one of the Services may be combined on a single monthly xxxx on magnetic
tape. Said xxxx or bills will be sent to one CUSTOMER location designated by
CUSTOMER.
(b) Payment of charges under this Agreement is due, and CUSTOMER's
obligation to pay such charges is enforceable, upon presentation of a xxxx to
CUSTOMER or CUSTOMER's designate. Payment shall be made to AT&T by electronic
funds transfer, or by such other payment method as the parties may agree in
writing. Except as provided in Section 1.5(c), payment shall be considered
timely if made within one month after the date of the xxxx.
(c) The following payment provisions will apply until such time as
CUSTOMER either establishes a record of timely payment for at least one year,
or posts a deposit (or other assurance of payment satisfactory to AT&T) equal
to three months' net charges, but in no event less than [*].

(1) Beginning October 21, 1996, and every Monday thereafter
(or the next business day if the Monday is a holiday), CUSTOMER will
submit to AT&T an estimated weekly payment (the "Weekly Payment") to be
applied to CUSTOMER's account for Services provided under this
Agreement. Customer's failure to submit any Weekly Payment in full on
or before the due date established may result in disconnection of
service upon five days' prior written notice.
(2) The Weekly Payment for October 21, 1996 will be [*].
The Weekly Payment thereafter shall be [*], subject to modification as
follows. At least once every three months, AT&T, in consultation with
CUSTOMER, shall determine CUSTOMER's average weekly charges for the
three most recently-available billing months (based on net billed
amounts, and taking disputed charges into account only to the extent
deemed appropriate by AT&T). If the then-effective Weekly Payment
amount is more than ninety percent (90%) of such average weekly charges,
AT&T shall establish a new Weekly Payment amount approximately equal to
ninety percent (90%) of such average weekly charges. If the
then-effective Weekly Payment amount is less than ninety percent (90%)
of such average weekly charges, AT&T may establish a new Weekly Payment
amount approximately equal to ninety percent (90%) of such average
weekly charges. The new Weekly Payment amount will become effective ten
(10) days after AT&T provides written notice to CUSTOMER of the new
amount. Except as provided in Section 1.5(c)(4) and 1.5(d), disputed
charges shall not be withheld from the Weekly Payment amount.
(3) The Weekly Payments will be applied first against any
amounts past due, and then against current charges. A true-up payment
will be due with the last Weekly
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED.
8
- 4 -
Payment of each calendar month. The true up payment will be equal to
the sum of the amount shown as due on the DNS invoice dated the 29th of
the prior calendar month and the SDN and Inbound Services invoices dated
the 1st of the calendar month in which the Weekly Payment is made,
subject to adjustment for disputes as described in Section 1.5(d). If
the sum of such amounts is negative (i.e., there is a net credit due to
CUSTOMER) for two consecutive months, AT&T will adjust the amount of the
Weekly Payment pursuant to Section 1.5(c)(2).
(4) If CUSTOMER requests a credit ????? account, CUSTOMER's
Director of Revenue Accounting at AT&T shall review the account status
with the AT&T District Manager responsible for collection of charges
from CUSTOMER and apply reasonable and normal business standards to
promptly determine whether or not the credit should be applied to
CUSTOMER's account. If the AT&T District Manager agrees in writing to
reduce (in whole or in part) one or more Weekly Payments as a result of
such a credit, then CUSTOMER may make Weekly Payments adjusted in the
manner so specified by AT&T.
(d) If CUSTOMER provides to AT&T a written bona fide dispute of a
charge before payment is due for that charge, payment will be considered timely
if made within fifteen (15) days after AT&T sustains the charge as correct.
CUSTOMER may withhold payment of charges under this Section for any calls for
which AT&T has not provided standard call detail records on magnetic tape or
other electronic media (unless AT&T's failure to provide such records is
attributable to CUSTOMER); payment of such charges will be considered timely if
made within thirty (30) days after AT&T thereafter provides such call detail
records. Payment by CUSTOMER of a disputed charge does not preclude CUSTOMER
from continuing to dispute
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
9
- 5 -
the charge, nor does acceptance by AT&T of a partial payment preclude AT&T from
collecting the unpaid amount (notwithstanding any restrictive endorsements).
(e) CUSTOMER shall be solely responsible for rendering bills to and
collecting charges from its own customers. Failure of CUSTOMER to xxxx or
collect charges shall not excuse in whole or in part CUSTOMER's
responsibilities to AT&T under this Agreement, including but not limited to the
responsibility to render to AT&T timely payment of charges.
(f) If CUSTOMER does not make timely payment of any charge(s) other
than bona fide disputes, AT&T may apply a late payment charge equal to 1% of
such charge(s) for each whole month and pro rata for any partial month between
the date on which the payment would have been considered timely and the date on
which the payment is made to AT&T, except that if such charge is found to be in
excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable payment charge shall be the
maximum amount allowed by applicable law.
(g) CUSTOMER is responsible for safeguarding the service from use
by ???? persons, and to pay all charges for use of the service by any persons
whether or not a CUSTOMER.
1.6 DEPOSITS.
AT&T may at any time require CUSTOMER to furnish a deposit under the
same terms and conditions that apply to deposits under AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 1,
Section 2.5.6., as it exists on the Effective Date.
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT

2. USE OF THE SERVICES
2.1 RESALE OF SERVICES.
(a) CUSTOMER may (1) resell the Services directly (e.g., through
CUSTOMER's own employees, agents and/or independently contracted sales
representatives) to entities that will actually use the service (referred to in
this Agreement as "End Users") and/or (2) resell the Services directly to other
resellers for ultimate resale to End Users (which ultimate resale may but need
not be through one or more other intermediaries). All resellers and other
intermediaries in the sales chain between CUSTOMER (including its employees,
agents and independently contracted sales representatives) and an End User are
referred to in this Agreement as "Intermediate Resellers".
(b) AT&T has no relationship with CUSTOMER's End Users or
Intermediate Resellers under this Agreement and has no obligation to
communicate with, or provide support to CUSTOMER's End Users or Intermediate
Resellers. AT&T shall not use information provided by CUSTOMER in connection
with the provision of the Services in support of AT&T's own marketing efforts.
2.2 ABUSE OF THE SERVICES.
The abuse of Service is prohibited. The following activities constitute
abuse:
(a) Using Service to make calls that might reasonably be expected
to frighten, abuse, torment, or harass another, or
(b) Using Service in such a way that it interferes unreasonably
with the use of Service or AT&T's network by others.
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT

2.3. FRAUDULENT USE OF THE SERVICES.
The fraudulent use of, or the intended or attempted fraudulent use of
Service is prohibited. In any instance in which AT&T believes in good faith
that there is fraudulent use of Service, AT&T may, immediately and upon written
notice to the Customer, and without liability on the part of AT&T, restrict,
suspend or discontinue providing Service. In the event that Customer does not
provide to AT&T within five (5) business days of the temporary restriction of
service acceptable proof that said use has ceased and that appropriate measures
have been taken to prevent its recurrence, AT&T may immediately and without
further notice discontinue service and CUSTOMER shall be liable for a
Termination Charge as provided in Attachment A. If the event giving rise to the
right to restrict, suspend, or discontinue service is limited to one or more
specific locations, 800/888 numbers or calling cards, AT&T shall, to the extent
practicable, limit the restriction, suspension or discontinuance to those
locations, 800/888 numbers or calling cards. This Agreement does not obligate
AT&T to monitor, notify CUSTOMER about, or prevent fraudulent use of Service.
The following activities constitute fraudulent use:
(a) Using Service to transmit any message or code, locate a person,
or otherwise give or obtain information, without payment for Service (AT&T shall
not apply this provision to CUSTOMER differently than it generally applies to
comparable provision of AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 1 to other customers);
(b) Using or attempting to use Service with the intent to avoid the
payment, either in whole or in part, of any charges by any means or device;
(c) Using Service to carry calls that originate on the network of a
facilities-based interexchange carrier other than AT&T and terminate
disproportionately to locations for which
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
12
- 8 -
the cost to AT&T of terminating switched access is above the average cost of
terminating switched access, based on the published access tariffs of local
exchange companies; or
(d) Using the Services to carry calls that originate on the network
of a facilities-based interexchange carrier other than AT&T and terminate
disproportionately to locations for which the cost to AT&T of terminating
switched access is above AT&T's average cost of terminating switched access.
2.4. INTERFERENCE, IMPAIRMENT OR IMPROPER USE.
Customer may not use Service in any manner that subjects AT&T personnel
or non-AT&T personnel to hazardous conditions or results in immediate harm to
the AT&T network or other AT&T services. In any instance in which AT&T believes
in good faith that Service is being used in such manner, AT&T may immediately
restrict Service on a temporary basis. In such cases, AT&T will make a
reasonable effort to give the Customer prior notice. In the event that Customer
does not provide to AT&T within five (5) business days of the temporary
restriction of service acceptable proof that said use has ceased and that
appropriate measures have been taken to prevent its recurrence, AT&T may
immediately and without further notice terminate service and CUSTOMER shall be
liable for a Termination Charge as provided in Attachment A.
3. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
3.1. TERMINATION FOR MATERIAL NON-COMPLIANCE.
If either party fails to comply with one or more of the material terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the other party may provide written notice of
such failure to the party in noncompliance and such party shall have ninety
(90) days following receipt of such notice to cure the noncompliance. If such
cure is not demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the party
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
13
- 9 -
claiming the noncompliance within the ninety (90) day period, such party may
immediately terminate without liability this Agreement and the Services
provided hereunder upon written notice to the party in noncompliance provided
within sixty (60) days after the end of the cure period. In the event of a
termination under this Section, CUSTOMER shall be liable for a Prorated
Shortfall Charge to the extent provided in Attachment A. This Section shall not
apply to a termination for nonpayment.
3.2. TERMINATION FOR NONPAYMENT.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.5(d), if CUSTOMER fails to
make payment of charges due under this Agreement, AT&T may deny and/or restrict
the Services upon at least five (5) days' prior written notice to CUSTOMER.
Upon payment of all such charges, the denial and/or restriction of the Services
will be removed, except that if AT&T denies and/or restricts the Services for
nonpayment and CUSTOMER fails to pay the charges that gave rise to the denial
of Services within fifteen (15) days after the date on which such denial of
Services began, AT&T may immediately terminate without liability this Agreement
and the Services provided hereunder. In the event of a termination under this
Section of the entire Agreement, CUSTOMER shall be liable for a Termination
Charge as provided in Attachment A.
3.3. TERMINATION FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY BY CUSTOMER.
If at any time during the term of this Agreement CUSTOMER is in
material noncompliance with any of its Warranties under this Agreement, AT&T
may provide written notice of such non-compliance to CUSTOMER and CUSTOMER
shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such
non-compliance. If such cure is not demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction
of AT&T within the thirty (30) day period, AT&T may immediately terminate this
Agreement and the Services provided hereunder without liability upon written
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
14
- 10 -
notice to CUSTOMER. In the event of a termination under this Section, CUSTOMER
shall be liable for a Termination Charge as provided in Attachment A.
4. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
4.1. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
(a) AT&T's liability, if any, for any claim or suit by CUSTOMER for
damages associated with the installation, provision, termination, maintenance,
repair or restoration of any of the Services shall not exceed an amount equal
to the charge under this agreement for the affected service for the period
during which the service was affected. Any liability for damages shall be in
addition to any credit allowance that may otherwise be due.
(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL AT&T OR CUSTOMER BE LIABLE TO EACH OTHER IN
CONNECTION WITH THE INSTALLATION, PROVISION, TERMINATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR,
RESTORATION, USE OR RESALE OF THE SERVICES FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, RELIANCE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS OR DIMINISHED BUSINESS VALUE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM
OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, INDEMNITY WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE OF ANY KIND WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE.
(c) AT&T is not liable for damages caused by service, channels, or
equipment which it does not furnish.
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
15
- 11 -
(d) Nothing in this Section shall limit either party's liability
for damages to individuals or their estates for bodily injury or death
proximately caused by that party's negligence. The limitations of liability set
forth in this Agreement shall survive failure of an exclusive remedy.
4.2 INDEMNIFICATIONS.
(a) AT&T shall be indemnified, defended, and held harmless by
CUSTOMER against all claims, losses, or damages awarded, to the extent that
they arise from the use of the Services, regardless of the form of action,
whether in contract, tort (including AT&T's active or passive negligence),
warranty, or strict liability, involving:
(1) Claims for libel, slander, invasion of privacy, or
infringement of copyright arising from any communication not initiated
by AT&T or its agent;
(2) Claims for patent infringement arising from combining or
using the Services in connection with facilities or equipment furnished
by others, provided that such claim would not have arisen if the
Services had not been combined or used in connection with facilities or
equipment furnished by others;
(3) Claims arising out of the use of the Services in an
explosive atmosphere;
(4) Claims brought against AT&T by any of CUSTOMER's
Intermediate Carriers or End Users related to the Services provided to
CUSTOMER under this Agreement.
(b) CUSTOMER shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by
AT&T against all claims, losses or damages awarded, to the extent that they
arise from use of the Services, regardless of the form of action, whether in
contract, tort (including CUSTOMER's active or passive negligence), warranty,
strict liability, intellectual property infringement or
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
16
- 12 -
misappropriation involving claims of patent, copyright, trademark or trade
secret infringements arising solely from the use of the Services.
(c) If, in connection with any claim, lawsuit, or demand brought by
a third party against either party (the "Indemnified Party"), the Indemnified
Party asserts it is entitled to indemnification and defense from the other party
(the "Indemnifying Party") pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party
shall provide prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim,
lawsuit or demand, and shall tender the defense of such claim, lawsuit, or
demand to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in
every reasonable manner with the defense or settlement of such claim, lawsuit,
or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for settlements by the
Indemnified Party of any such claim, demand, or lawsuit unless the Indemnifying
Party has approved the settlement in advance or unless the defense of the claim,
demand, or lawsuit has been tendered to the Indemnifying Party, in writing, and
the Indemnifying Party has failed promptly to undertake the defense.

5.3 DISCLAIMER OF OTHER WARRANTIES.
AT&T (INCLUDING ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS, SUCCESSORS
AND ASSIGNS) MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN
SECTION 5.2, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED PURSUANT
TO THIS AGREEMENT.
6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ISSUES
6.1 RESTRICTIONS AGAINST USE OF NAME AND BRAND IDENTIFICATION.
(a) Neither party will (1) use the other party's corporate logos,
trade dress, or other symbols that serve to identify and distinguish such other
party from its competitors (or use confusingly similar corporate logos, trade
dress or such other symbols), or (2) conduct business under the other party's
corporate or trade names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress,
or other symbols that serve to identify and distinguish such other party from
its competitors (or under any confusingly similar corporate or trade names,
logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress or such other symbols).
(b) Except with the express written authorization of AT&T, neither
CUSTOMER nor any Intermediate Reseller will, in connection with any marketing,
sales or other activity, (1) use the AT&T's corporate or trade names,
trademarks, or service marks (or use confusingly similar corporate or trade
names, trademarks, or service marks), or (2) indicate or imply to any End User,
potential End User, or other entity that AT&T is the underlying carrier from
which CUSTOMER or an Intermediate Reseller obtains the service it is reselling
to the End User.
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
19
- 15 -
(c) Neither CUSTOMER nor any Intermediate Reseller will indicate or
imply to any Intermediate Reseller, End User, potential End User, or other
entity that (1) AT&T is selling or providing service to any End User, (2)
CUSTOMER or any Intermediate Reseller is affiliated with AT&T or authorized by
AT&T to sell or provide service to any End User, potential End User, or other
entity, or (3) CUSTOMER or any Intermediate Reseller is selling or providing
service to any End User, potential End User, or other entity jointly, in
collaboration, or in partnership with AT&T, or as the agent of AT&T.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CUSTOMER may, if required by law, disclose to a
governmental agency that AT&T provides the Services to CUSTOMER.
(d) CUSTOMER will (1) notify its Intermediate Resellers of the
restrictions against use of AT&T's corporate or trade names, logos, trademarks,
service marks, trade dress, or other symbols that serve to identify and
distinguish AT&T from its competitors (or any confusingly similar corporate or
trade names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress or such other
symbols), and (2) direct such Intermediate Resellers to comply with such
restrictions and to provide a similar notification and directions to any other
Intermediate Resellers to which the first Intermediate Reseller may provide
service.
6.2 INCONSISTENT USE.
(a) If AT&T finds that CUSTOMER (or any Intermediate Reseller), is
using AT&T's corporate or trade names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade
dress or other symbols that serve to distinguish AT&T from its competitors in a
manner inconsistent with Section 6.1. of this Agreement (an "Inconsistent Use"),
AT&T shall provide notice of such Inconsistent Use to CUSTOMER. The exclusive
means and remedy for settling any dispute between the parties as to whether a
particular use constitutes an Inconsistent Use shall be an arbitration conducted
under the Non-Administered Arbitration Rules (the "Rules") of the CPR Institute
for Dispute Resolution
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
20
- 16 -
(the "CPR Institute"), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the
case of a conflict between this Agreement and the Rules, this Agreement will
govern.
(b) If AT&T provides notice to CUSTOMER of an Inconsistent Use, and,
within 30 days after the receipt of such notice, CUSTOMER either (1) cures the
Inconsistent Use or takes appropriate commercially reasonable efforts to prevent
an Intermediate Reseller from continuing such use (which efforts shall include
ceasing to provide service to the Intermediate Reseller, if necessary), (2)
demonstrates that no Inconsistent Use occurred, or (3) demonstrates that no
person responsible for the Inconsistent Use was either CUSTOMER, an Affiliate of
CUSTOMER, an Intermediate Reseller, or an employee, agent or independently
contracted sales representative of any of them, then there shall be no loss of
discount arising out of the use that gave rise to the notice. If CUSTOMER
thereafter seeks to contest AT&T's determination that the use was an
Inconsistent Use, CUSTOMER must institute an arbitration under the Section. If
CUSTOMER does not obtain a ruling in such arbitration that the use was not an
Inconsistent Use, CUSTOMER shall be precluded from repeating such use (and shall
take appropriate, commercially reasonable measures to ensure that no
Intermediate Reseller repeats such use).
(c) If AT&T provides notice to CUSTOMER of an Inconsistent Use, and
CUSTOMER does not avoid the withholding of discount by accomplishing one of the
steps described in (1) through (3) of Section 6.2(b) within the specified
period, the discounts and credits set forth in Attachment A will not apply
beginning as of the date AT&T's notice is given and ending as of the date that
CUSTOMER accomplishes one of the steps described in (a) through (c) of Section
6.2(b). Any such suspension of discounts shall not relieve CUSTOMER from its
obligations to comply with any other conditions contained in this Agreement.
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
21
- 17 -
(d) If CUSTOMER seeks to contest AT&T's determination that the use
was an Inconsistent Use, CUSTOMER shall institute an arbitration as provided
below. If CUSTOMER does not institute such an arbitration, CUSTOMER shall be
precluded from contesting AT&T's determination that the use was an Inconsistent
Use. If the Arbitrator decides that the use giving rise to the notice was not
an Inconsistent Use, any discounts that were not applied as a result of the use
will be restored and applied to CUSTOMER's account as a credit.
(e) To institute an arbitration under this subsection, CUSTOMER
shall submit the dispute to a tribunal of three arbitrators to be selected
jointly by the parties, or, at the option of either party, to be selected by the
procedures established under the then-current rules of the CPR Institute for the
selection of arbitrators. Each of the arbitrators shall be an attorney with not
less than ten (10) years experience in the practice of trademark law. The
parties shall cooperate in good faith to achieve a prompt resolution of the
arbitration. In the event that the parties, in consultation with the CPR
Institute, determine that a panel of three qualified arbitrators cannot be
appointed pursuant to this procedure, the parties will work in good faith, in
consultation with the CPR Institute, to implement an alternative process for
appointing a panel of three qualified arbitrators.

either at the end of the Term or at an earlier time if the information is no
longer needed for the purposes described in subsection (e) below.

Confidential Information as to which each party shall be both a Disclosing
Party and a Receiving Party. Information that was previously known to the
Receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential or is
independently developed by the Receiving Party shall not be deemed Confidential
Information. The Receiving Party shall not be required to hold in confidence
any Confidential Information that is made public by the Disclosing Party or a
third party.
(e) A Receiving Party shall hold all Confidential Information in
confidence during the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following the
termination of this Agreement. During that period, the Receiving Party: (1)
shall use such Confidential Information only for the purposes of evaluation,
negotiation, discussion between the parties, preparation of proposals, provision
or use of AT&T products and/or services and otherwise carrying out the intent of
this Agreement; (2) shall reproduce such Confidential Information only to the
extent necessary for such purposes; (3) shall restrict disclosure of such

the same degree of care as it uses with regard to its own proprietary or
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
24
- 20 -
confidential information to prevent the disclosure, unauthorized use or
publication of Confidential Information.
(f) In the absence of a contrary instruction by a party, such
party's Affiliates, and the agents and employees of its Affiliates, shall be
deemed agents of such party for purposes of receipt or disclosure of
Confidential Information. Accordingly, any receipt or disclosure of
Confidential Information by a party's Affiliate, or by an agent or employee of
such Affiliate, shall be deemed a receipt or disclosure by the party.
(g) CUSTOMER may disclose Confidential Information to a person or
entity (other than a direct competitor of AT&T) retained by CUSTOMER to provide
advice, consultation, analysis, legal counsel or any other similar services
("Consulting Services") in connection with this Agreement or the service
provided hereunder (such person or entity hereinafter referred to as
"Consultant") only with AT&T's prior permission and only after CUSTOMER
provides to AT&T a copy of a written agreement by such Consultant (in a form
satisfactory to AT&T): (a) to use such Confidential Information only for the
purpose of providing Consulting Services to CUSTOMER, and (b) to be bound by
the obligations of a Receiving Party under this Agreement with respect to such
Confidential Information.
(h) A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information if such
disclosure is in response to an order or request from a court, the FCC or other
regulatory body; provided, however, that before making such disclosure, the
Receiving Party shall first give the Disclosing Party reasonable notice and
opportunity to object to the order or request, and/or to obtain a protective
order covering the Confidential Information to be disclosed. If the FCC
determines that legal requirements, including the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, or the regulations promulgated thereunder, require the filing of
this Agreement with the Commission, or
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
25
- 21 -
if the FCC (or a state regulatory entity with applicable jurisdiction)
otherwise requires the filing of this Agreement pursuant to authority granted
by law or regulation, the party required to make with such filing shall file
the Agreement to the extent required and each party to this Agreement shall
request confidential treatment in connection with such filing.
(i) In the event of a breach or threatened breach by a Receiving
Party or its agent or representative of the terms of this Section, the
Disclosing Party shall be entitled to an injunction prohibiting such breach in
addition to such other legal and equitable remedies as may be available to it
in connection with such breach. Each party acknowledges that the Confidential
Information of the other Party is valuable and unique and that the use or
disclosure of such Confidential Information in breach of this Agreement will
result in irreparable injury to the other party.
7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Except as provided in Section 6.2, if a dispute arises between the
parties relating to this Agreement or to the Services provided under this
Agreement, or to the provision, use, sale, or resale of the Services (a
"Dispute"), the parties will use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute
promptly and fairly by negotiation. If the parties are unable to resolve the
Dispute through negotiation, the parties shall follow the dispute resolution
procedures provided in this Section.
7.1 MEDIATION.
If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute by negotiation, the
parties shall submit it to mediation conducted by a mediator to be selected
jointly by the parties or, at the option of either party, to be selected by the
procedures established under the then-current rules of the CPR Institute for
the selection of a mediator. The parties, their representatives, other
participants and the mediator shall hold existence, content and result of the
mediation in confidence. The
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
26
- 22 -
mediation shall conclude at such time as either party (or the mediator) notifies
the other party (or, for the mediator, both parties) in writing that the parties
are at an impasse and that continued efforts at mediation are unlikely to be
productive.
7.2. ARBITRATION.
(a) If a Dispute in which the total amount in controversy (based on
the written positions taken by the parties in the course of mediation) is ten
million dollars ($10,000,000) or less, or any Dispute (regardless of the amount
in controversy) regarding the payment, nonpayment or applicability of charges
(including shortfall or termination charges), is not successfully resolved by
negotiation or mediation, it shall be subject to binding arbitration under the
then-current Rules and supervision of the CPR Institute. The arbitration will
be held in Chicago, Illinois. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1
to 16, not New York law, will govern the arbitrability of all claims. The
arbitral decision and award will be final and binding, and either party may
enter it in any court with jurisdiction.
(b) The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who is
knowledgeable in business information, commercial matters or the
telecommunications field, as applicable, except that either party may require
that the arbitration be conducted by a tribunal of three such arbitrators by
providing written notice of such a demand to the other party before a single
arbitrator is selected. The arbitrator(s) may not limit, expand or otherwise
modify the terms of this Agreement and will not have authority to award damages
to either party beyond the limitations of liability provided in this Agreement.
(c) Each party will bear its own attorney's fees and related costs
and expenses associated with the arbitration. The parties will pay the
arbitrator(s) fees and other similar costs and expenses of the arbitration as
the Rules provide.
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
27
- 23 -
(d) The parties, their representatives, other participants and the
arbitrator(s) shall hold the existence, content and result of the arbitration
in confidence except that the prevailing party shall have the right to enter
the arbitration award in a court of competent jurisdiction if such entry is
necessary to enforce the terms of the award.
(e) Neither party may bring a legal proceedings before a court or
administrative body a case in court in connection with a Dispute subject to
this Section 7.2. If a party disregards this restriction, files such a legal
proceeding, and fails to dismiss it promptly upon being notified of this
provision, that party will pay the other party's costs and expenses, including
attorney's fees, incurred after the notice in defending the legal proceeding.
7.3 COURT PROCEEDINGS.
If a Dispute not subject to Section 7.2 is not successfully resolved by
negotiation or mediation, it may be the subject of legal proceedings brought
before a court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Dispute, and
will be submitted to arbitration only by written agreement of the parties.
8. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
8.1 COMBINATION WITH OTHER SERVICES OR OFFERS.
This Agreement may not be used in combination with any other AT&T
Carrier Agreement, AT&T Contract Tariff, AT&T Tariff, promotions or other
offerings or pricing arrangements for any AT&T services.
8.2 ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION.
Neither party may assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or
in part, to a third party (other than an Affiliate of the assigning party),
without the express prior written consent of
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
28
- 24 -
the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. CUSTOMER may
delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the consent of AT&T, but
CUSTOMER shall remain liable for the performance of all such obligations
notwithstanding any such delegation. This provision shall not restrict
CUSTOMER's right to resell the Service. No resale of the Service, assignment of
rights, or delegation of duties shall release the original party from its
obligations under this Agreement.
8.3. AFFILIATE.
As used in this Agreement, an entity is an "Affiliate" of a party if
such entity directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with such party.
8.4. INDEPENDENT PARTIES.
The employees and agents of either party to this Agreement are solely
the employees or agents of that party, and not employees or agents of the other
party. Neither party is responsible for the employment, control, or conduct of
the other party's employees. AT&T's relationship with CUSTOMER, and CUSTOMER's
relationship with AT&T, under this Agreement will be that of an independent
contractor, and nothing herein will be construed to constitute either party (or
any of its Affiliates, employees, or agents), an employee, agent, fiduciary,
joint venturer or partner of the other party.
8.5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RIGHT TO COMPETE.
CUSTOMER acknowledges and understands that it remains at all times
solely responsible for the success and profits of its business. AT&T makes no
promises, warranties or representations regarding CUSTOMER's business success or
prospects of business success in connection with the provision of the Services.
CUSTOMER acknowledges and understands that
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
29
- 25 -
AT&T will continue to market AT&T services directly to the public (including
actual and potential End Users, Intermediate Resellers, and competitors of
CUSTOMER) and that such marketing will from time to time bring AT&T into direct
or indirect competition with CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER acknowledges and understands
that nothing in this Agreement restricts in any way the rights of AT&T to engage
in competition with CUSTOMER or to market its services to competitors of
CUSTOMER.
8.6. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
This Agreement does not create any claim or right of action, nor is it
intended to confer any benefit on any third party, including but not limited to
any End-User or Intermediate Reseller.
8.7. ACCESS TO CUSTOMER'S PREMISES.
The Customer is responsible for arranging premises access at any
reasonable time so that AT&T personnel may install, repair, maintain, inspect or
remove Service components. Premises access must be made available at a time
mutually agreeable to the Customer and AT&T.
8.8. NETWORK EQUIPMENT.
AT&T shall retain title to all of its network equipment and facilities
used to provide Services under this Agreement.
8.9. FORCE MAJEURE.
Neither party nor its Affiliates, subsidiaries, subcontractors, or
parent corporation shall be liable in any way for delay, failure in performance,
loss or damage due to any of the following: fire, strike, embargo, explosion,
power blackout, earthquake, volcanic action, flood, war, water, the elements,
labor disputes, civil or military authority, acts of God, acts of the public
enemy, inability to secure raw materials, inability to secure products, acts or
omissions of carriers, or
AT&T/CUSTOMER CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY DRAFT
30
- 26 -
other causes beyond its reasonable control, whether or not similar to the
foregoing; provided, however, that any failure or inability by CUSTOMER to
resell Services provided under this Agreement or to collect payment from its
Intermediate Resellers or End-Users shall not excuse CUSTOMER from performing
its obligations under this Agreement.
8.10. LOSS.
CUSTOMER is liable to AT&T for the replacement cost of AT&T-provided
equipment installed at CUSTOMER's premises in the event of loss of said
equipment for any reason, including but not limited to theft, but not including
loss caused by a defect in the equipment itself.
8.11. NOTICES.
