The terms of such Subsequent Agreement shall be effective as of the effective date stated in such Subsequent Agreement and shall not be applied retroactively to the expiration date of this Agreement unless the Parties agree otherwise. 5 of 132 EXHIBIT 2 6 of 132 Exhibit 2 Replacement language for Attachment 7, Section 1.8: 1.8 Deposit Policy. DukeNet shall complete the BellSouth Credit Profile and provide information to BellSouth regarding credit worthiness. Based on the results of the credit analysis, BellSouth reserves the right to secure the account with a suitable form of security deposit. Such security deposit shall take the form of cash, an Irrevocable Letter of Credit (BellSouth form), Surety Bond (BellSouth form) or, in BellSouth’s sole discretion, some other form of security proposed by DukeNet. Any such security deposit shall in no way release DukeNet from its obligation to make complete and timely payments of its bill. DukeNet shall pay any applicable deposits prior to the inauguration of service. If, in the sole opinion of BellSouth, circumstances so warrant and/or gross monthly billing has increased beyond the level initially used to determine the level of security deposit, BellSouth reserves the right to request additional security. Interest on a security deposit, if provided in cash, shall accrue and be paid in accordance with the terms in the appropriate BellSouth tariff. Security deposits collected under this Section shall not exceed two months' estimated billing. In the event DukeNet fails to remit to BellSouth any deposit requested pursuant to this Section, service to DukeNet may be terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 1.7 of this Attachment, and any security deposits will be applied to DukeNet's account(s). In the event DukeNet defaults on its account, service to DukeNet will be terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 1.7 above, and any security deposits will be applied to DukeNet’s account. 7 of 132 EXHIBIT 3 8 of 132 Attachment 4-Central Office Page 1 Attachment 4 Physical Collocation Version 1Q03: 02/28/03 9 of 132 Attachment 4-Central Office Page 2 BELLSOUTH PHYSICAL COLLOCATION 1.
