damage in an amount not less than $500,000.00. Such policy or policies shall
name AT&T as an additional insured and shall be procured from an insurance
carrier reasonably acceptable to AT&T. Upon request, Customer shall furnish AT&T
with a certificate evidencing such insurance. Such insurance shall provide that

according to procedures set forth in this Section 20 if there is abuse or
fraudulent use thereof. Abuse and fraudulent use of Service include, but are not

unreasonably with the use of Service by one or more other wireless customers or
End Users or to interfere unreasonably with AT&T's ability to provide Service;
(v) Using Service to convey information which is obscene,
salacious, prurient, or unlawful; and

cancel the right to market or use Service by any of its agents or End Users
abusing or fraudulently marketing or using Service. However, if Customer has
requested advance notice of cancellation as provided in AT&T's procedures, AT&T
will not cancel Service until receipt of Customer's notice. For so long as AT&T
acts in good faith under this Section, Customer shall indemnify and hold AT&T
harmless as set forth in Section 12.1 against any Claims arising therefrom.
20.3 LIABILITY FOR ABUSE OR FRAUDULENT USAGE. Customer shall be liable
for charges or other costs or damages resulting from abuse or fraudulent use as
described below.

employees, agents or End Users, either negligently or intentionally facilitating
the abuse or fraudulent use which shall include, without limitation, any failure
to give prompt notice of suspected abuse or fraudulent use based on information
available to Customer.
20.3.2 If at any time AT&T or Customer reasonably suspects that
any Number(s) may be, has been, or is being used to abuse or fraudulently obtain
use of Service, and AT&T is permitted to terminate Service to that Number(s)
immediately upon AT&T's discovery and without prior notice to Customer, Customer
shall have no liability for abuse or fraudulent use charges, costs or damages
incurred after AT&T's discovery, provided Customer has not asked for notice
pursuant to Section

termination of Service to Customer during business hours.
20.3.3 Customer may notify AT&T in writing that it elects to
receive advance notice of the cessation of Service to Numbers as the result of
suspicions of abuse or fraudulent use. In such case, commencing at the time AT&T
determines, or Customer claims it suspects, that a Number may be, has been, or
is being used for abuse or fraudulent use, Customer shall bear full liability
for any further usage of the Number until one (1) hour after the Customer
notifies AT&T of its request to terminate Service with respect to such Number.
20.3.4 In the event Customer determines that charges, costs or
damages on an invoice are the result of Unauthorized Access which was not
previously discovered by the parties, Customer shall not be liable for such
Unauthorized Access if Customer provides AT&T with clear and convincing evidence
of the Unauthorized Access, such as: (i) call detail information for the End
User's account; and (ii) a statement by Customer that it has thoroughly
investigated the alleged Unauthorized Access and that it will cooperate
reasonably in obtaining affidavits or other required documentation required for
any prosecution of the person fraudulently using the Service. AT&T may require
affidavits prior to issuing any credits if Customer does not comply with this
Section. Such investigation by Customer should include contacting or attempting
to contact a sufficient number of recipients of calls at issue of each End User
so as to establish a reasonable basis for inferring that the remainder of such
calls were the result of unauthorized access.
