B. Obtain the difference between the "V" coordinates of each of the Company’s POPs. Obtain the difference between the "H" coordinates.

C. Square each difference obtained in step B above.

Mileage = (V1 - V2)2 + (H1 - H2)2

10

Where V1 and H1 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.

6. LOCAL ACCESS FACILITIES

1. General Description

In order to subscribe to the Company's data products with dedicated access, the Customer will need to gain entry to the Company's network by means of Local Access Facilities. Such Local Access Facilities will generally be ordered from local telephone companies in the Customer's name, by the Company, as agent. The Company will bill the Customer for these facilities.

Any special construction or non-standard charges assessed by the local telephone company supplying the Local Access Facility will also be the responsibility of the Customer. On occasions when alternative facilities are necessary (those provided in lieu of Company- designated access provided facilities), the Company will charge the Customer according to the rates and charges set forth in this Schedule unless Special Service Arrangements are involved as described in Section 4.17 of this Schedule.

The Company's scope of work for alternative access facilities may include, but are not limited to, detailed assessment or engineering studies, alternative vendor interface and installation supervision.

Central Office Connection charges apply in all cases in which a Customer wishes to connect to the Company network. The applicable charges are determined based on the type of access interconnected.

Access Coordination will apply in those cases where the Company acts as the Customer's agent and orders Local Access Facilities. The applicable charges are determined based on the type of access ordered.

Local Access Facilities for 56 Kbps, T-1, T-3, OC-3, and OC-12 access require a minimum commitment period of one year, unless otherwise defined through a vendor-provided term plan offering (ordered by the Company on behalf of the Customer via a letter of agency from the Customer). Any termination liabilities incurred by the Company as a result of such plans shall be solely the responsibility of the Customer.

The charges for Local Access Facilities are applied based upon the applicable local exchange company’s rates and charges.

The Company reserves the right to restrict interconnection at either the wire center serving the Company POP or the Company POP itself.

3. Term Plan

Customers may subscribe to Private Line Services under one, two or three year term plans. The rates in effect for Private Line Services and Local Access Facilities at the time the Customer commits to a term plan will be fixed for the duration of the term plan. The term will begin on the first day of the month following the date the service is installed and available. Upon expiration, the term will be automatically extended at the term plan rates for successive ninety (90) day periods, unless sixty (60) days prior to the end of the term or each such extension either (a) the Customer or the Company provides written notice to the other that it does not want such extension, or (b) the Customer subscribes to another term plan for which the rates of the new term will apply.

If additional Customer sites are added to a Customer's Private Line Service after the initial subscription to a term plan, such sites will be incorporated into the Customer's term plan and will have the same termination date as the Customer's original term plan. Existing Customers may subscribe to a new term plan for Private Line Services of the same or greater value prior to the end of the Customer's existing term plan without incurring any termination liability if the new term plan extends beyond the old term plan termination date by at least one year or if the new term plan is for three years.

4. Termination Liability

To terminate Private Line Services the Customer must provide the Company with thirty (30) days prior written notice.

Customers terminating service prior to fulfilling their term commitment will be assessed a termination liability in an amount equal to a lump sum of fifty percent (50%) of the monthly recurring charges for each circuit cancelled multiplied by the number of months remaining in the term plan. Customer will not have any termination liability if another Company service of the same or greater monthly price and volume and a term no less than the remaining months of the term plan or one (1) year, whichever is greater, is ordered at the same time the notice of termination is received. Customer will also be liable for a pro-rata amount of any waived installation charges based on the number of months remaining in the term plan.

If service is terminated by the Company for cause and the Customer has subscribed to service under a term plan, the Customer will be charged the termination liability associated with the term plan.
