(1) Commencing with the Effective Date described in Section 1 above,
with respect to calls originating in the continental United States and
terminating to an International location (i.e., other than a
non-Mainland location), subject to Subpart (2) below, the "INTERNATIONAL
TRANSPORT CHARGE" will be deemed to correspond with the [*] level of
applicable charges shown on Schedule "2" attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
(2) Subject to modification as described in Subpart (3) below, Customer
may elect at any time during the Service Term to designate one of the
International Monthly Revenue Levels described on Schedule "2"

maintain on a take-or-pay basis for the remainder of the Service Term
("INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENT PERIOD"). For purposes of this Agreement, the
"INTERNATIONAL MONTHLY REVENUE LEVEL" will be comprised of Customer's
gross (i.e., prior to the application of discounts) (i) Transport
Charges (i.e., Domestic, Non-Mainland and International) associated with

location and specifically excluding Mexico and Canada), (ii) LEC
Charges, if any, associated with a call to an International location,
and (iii) TRAVEL CARD Service charges associated with a call to an

* Confidential material

Sub-Commitment, Customer's International Transport Charge will
correspond with the applicable charges shown on Schedule "2" based on
Customer's International Sub-Commitment.
(3) At any time during the Service Term of this Agreement, Customer may
modify Customer's International Sub-Commitment ("CUSTOMER'S MODIFIED
INTERNATIONAL SUB-COMMITMENT") for the remainder of the International
Commitment Period by notifying WilTel in writing. Commencing with the
first day of the month following at least thirty (30) days after WilTel
receives the notice described herein, (i) Customer's Modified
International Sub-Commitment will be effective, and (ii) Customer's
International Transport Charge will correspond with the applicable
charges shown on Schedule "2" based on Customer's Modified International
Sub-Commitment.
(4) In the event Customer does not maintain Customer's International
Sub-Commitment (or Customer's Modified International Sub-Commitment, if
applicable) in any month during the International Commitment Period,
then for those month(s) only, Customer will pay WilTel the difference
between Customer's International Sub-Commitment (or Customer's Modified
International Sub-Commitment) and Customer's actual International
Monthly Revenue Level as defined above (the "INTERNATIONAL DEFICIENCY
CHARGE"). The International Deficiency Charge is in addition to the
Deficiency Charge described in Subsection 4(B) below, if any, and will
be due at the same time payment is due for Service provided to Customer,
or immediately in an amount equal to Customer's International
Sub-Commitment for the unexpired portion of the International Commitment
Period if WilTel terminates this Agreement based on Customer's default.
(D) LEC CHARGES.
(1) "LEC CHARGES" include Access Charges, Egress Charges and SMS 800
queries. "ACCESS CHARGES" and "EGRESS CHARGES" are per minute costs
determined by WilTel between the applicable WilTel point of presence and
the terminating or originating point, and rated at the applicable end
office (NPA-NXX) level using switched tandem access rates and charges
(excluding TRAVEL CARD Service). Directory Assistance calls will only be
assessed the applicable Access Charge. Customer will also pay WilTel a
[*] administrative charge which is assessed on the total of Customer's
monthly LEC Charges. The NPA-NXX is generally identified by the end
users automated number identification
* Confidential material

("ANI"); provided, however, in the event there is not an identified
originating ANI, the NPA-NXX will be assigned based on WilTel's
originating trunk group. The terminating NPA-NXX will be identified by
the dialed number; provided, however, in the event there is not an
identified dialed number, the NPA-NXX will be assigned based on WilTel's
terminating trunk group.
(2) The per minute rates utilized by WilTel in determining the
applicable Access Charges and Egress Charges are described in the local
exchange carrier's ("LECs") applicable tariffs and are exclusive of any
discounts based on minute or term commitments. The Access Charges and
Egress Charges may include, without limitation, the components and
elements described below; provided, however, the terminology with
respect to these components and elements may vary among LECs. The Access
Charges and egress Charges will be calculated taking into effect whether
the call is interstate, intrastate or intraLATA, the direction of the
call (i.e., whether originating or terminating), whether the call is
premium or nonpremium (if applicable), the mileage, the meet point (if
applicable) and the call type (i.e., 1+ or 800). WilTel may also apply
any other rating elements which are assessed by the LECs or third
parties (e.g., regulatory fee assessments or non-standard LEC access
components) whether such charges are based per access line, per business
line, per market share, per call, etc. (e.g., the Arkansas Carrier
Common Line charge which is assessed by a regulatory body and allocated
to the LECs). With respect to those LECs utilizing a "time of day"
differential (i.e., Day/Nonday, Day/Evening/Night, etc.), Wiltel will
only use the "Day" rate provided by the LECs.

based on minutes and mileage, and (ii) the Entrance Facility rate and
Multiplexer rate which are flat monthly rates which are converted by
WilTel to a cost per minute basis by dividing the applicable DS-3 flat
rate or the multiplexer rate as found in the applicable LEC tariff by
[*]. WilTel reserves the right to convert any other flat rates assessed
by the LECs into per minute charges. Upon thirty (30) days' prior
written notice, WilTel may also charge Customer for other charges it is
assessed by any LEC or the SMS 800 database administrator for 800 number
service (e.g., National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) charges,
etc.).
