AMENDED AND RESTATED
PROGRAM ENROLLMENT TERMS
These Amended and Restated Program Enrollment Terms (the "Amended PET") are made by and between MCI WORLDCOM Network Services, Inc. (successor-in-interest to WorldCom Network Services, Inc.) ("MCI") and AmeriVision Communications, Inc. ("Customer") and are a part of their Telecommunications Services Agreement for Switched Services (TSA). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the TSA or in the applicable Attachments referenced herein and attached hereto, Any references to "WorldCom" or "MCI WorldCom" will be deemed to refer to "MCI". The TSA, this Amended PET and the New ABB Attachments will be collectively referred to as the "Agreement".
1. PRIOR DOCUMENTS: The parties acknowledge that there currently exists between them those certain Program Enrollment Terms dated April 1, 1999, as well as various amendments and Attachments thereto (collectively, the "Prior Documents"). The parties agree commencing as of the Effective Date (as described in Section 2 below), (i) the Prior Documents (including any attachments, schedules or exhibits thereto) will be canceled in their entirety and of no further force or effect with the exception of certain accrued obligations arising under the Prior Documents such as the payment of money or the application of credits arising prior to the Effective Date and provisions intended to survive termination, such as limitation of liability, indemnification and confidentiality, and (ii) all switched services currently being provided to Customer under the Prior Documents (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Services") will be provisioned and maintained by MCI taking into account the terms and conditions of this Amended PET and the following Attachments which are attached hereto (collectively, the "New ABB Attachments"): Attachment for ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Service, Attachment for ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER ORIGINATION Service and the Attachment for ACCESS BASED BILLING SWITCHELSS/END USER DEDICATED Services.
2. SERVICE TERM: The Service Term shall commence as of November 1, 2001 (the "Effective Date") and shall continue through June 30, 2003 (the "Service Term"). Upon expiration of the Service Term, the Switched Services in question will continue to be provided pursuant to the same terms and conditions as are then in effect (including without limitation, the applicable rates, discounts and commitments, if any), subject to termination by either party upon six (6) months prior written notice to the other party. Following notice of termination, MCI agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer in transitioning Customer's Services to a third party.
3. CUSTOMER'S MINIMUM REVENUE COMMITMENT:
(A) Commencing with the Effective Date and continuing through the end of the Service Term (including any extensions thereto) (the "Commitment Period"), Customer agrees to maintain each month, on a take-or-pay basis, Monthly Revenue (as defined in Subsection (E) below) equal to at least * ("Customer's Minimum Revenue Commitment").
- *
- Designates information which has been filed on a confidential basis.
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Subsection (A) above, as soon as Customer's cumulative Monthly Revenue (which will include any Deficiency Charges actually paid by Customer) commencing with the Effective Date is equal to at least * ("Customer's Total Minimum Revenue Commitment"), Customer's Minimum Revenue Commitment shall terminate. Once Customer has satisfied Customer's Minimum Revenue Commitment, either party may terminate this Agreement
1
in its entirety upon at least six (6) month's written notice, during which time Customer's Minimum Revenue Commitment shall not be applicable.
- *
- Designates information which has been filed on a confidential basis.
(C) In the event Customer does not maintain Customer's Minimum Revenue Commitment in any month during the Commitment Period (regardless of whether Customer has commenced using any or all of the Switched Services described herein), then for those month(s) only, Customer will pay MCI the difference between Customer's Minimum Revenue Commitment and Customer's actual Monthly Revenue (the "Deficiency Charge"). The Deficiency Change will be due at the same time payment is due for Service provided to Customer, or immediately in an amount equal to Customer's Minimum Revenue Commitment for the unexpired portion of the Service Term, if MCI terminates this Agreement based on Customer's default. Provided, however, MCI agrees to waive any Deficiency Charges that arise solely due to a catastrophic network event, which materially prevents Customer's use of Services hereunder sufficient to satisfy Customer's Minimum Revenue Commitment. In such case, Customer shall have the burden of proof in establishing the date and duration of such event as well as the general sources of Customer's traffic affected by such event. Provided, for purposes of this Agreement, any catastrophic network events lasting cumulatively less than four (4) hours or affecting cumulatively less than * minutes of Customer's traffic in any calendar month will be deemed not material.
- *
- Designates information which has been filed on a confidential basis.
(D) Notwithstanding Subsection (C) above, Customer will not be liable for any Deficiency Charges if such Deficiency Charges arise predominantly as a result of a business downturn that significantly reduce the size or scope of Customer's operation and volume of MCI's services required by Customer (notwithstanding Customer's best efforts to avoid such a shortfall). Customer must give MCI written notice of the conditions it believes require application of this Subsection, which notice must be given within a reasonable time following the occurrence of such conditions. The amount of Deficiency Charges (if any) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount that Customer's Total Minimum Revenue Commitment is not met as a result solely of the business downturn.
(E) For purposes of this Agreement, "Monthly Revenue" will be comprised of (i) the aggregation of all of Customer's Switched Services Revenue as such term is described in each of the applicable Attachments, PLUS (ii) Customer's Data Revenue (as defined herein) from MCI WorldCom. Customer's Monthly Revenue will not include any pro rata charges, access charges, ancillary or special feature charges, such as, Authorization codes or CDR Tapes, or any other charges other than those identified by the relevant MCI WorldCom invoice as charges specifically mentioned in this Section 2. For purposes of this Agreement, Customer's "Data Revenue" will be comprised of the following charges:
(i) Customer's monthly recurring private line lnterexchange Service charges (i.e., both Domestic and International).
(ii) Customer's Monthly Port Charges, Monthly CIR Charges and Monthly NNI Charges, if any, as are specifically described in an Attachment for Frame Relay Services between MCI WorldCom and Customer.
(iii) Customer's Internet Monthly Recurring Charges, if any, as are specifically described in an Attachment for DEDICATED INTERNET Service between MCI WorldCom and Customer.
(iv) Customer's Monthly Port Charges and Monthly PVC Charges, if any, as are specifically described in an Attachment for ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER MODE (ATM) Service between MCI WorldCom and Customer.
4. SERVICE INTERCONNECTIONS.
(A) In order to utilize (i) ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Service or ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER ORIGINATION Service, one or more full time dedicated
2
connections between Customer's network and the MCI network at one or more MCI designated locations ("MCI POP") must be established ("Carrier Service Interconnection(s)"), and (ii) ACCESS BASED BILLING END USER DEDICATED ACCESS Service (1+ or TOLL FREE), one or more full time dedicated connections between an End User's private branch exchange ("PBX") or other customer premise equipment and the MCI network at one or more MCI POP(s) must be established ("Dedicated Service Interconnection(s)"). Each Carrier Service Interconnection and Dedicated Service Interconnection shall be comprised of one or more dedicated access circuits, as the case may be. Carrier Service Interconnection(s) and Dedicated Service Interconnection(s) are collectively referred to as "Service Interconnections
(B) The circuit(s) comprising each Service Interconnection to a MCI POP shall be requested by Customer on the appropriate MCI Service Request. Each Service Request will describe (among other things) the MCI POP to which a Service Interconnection is to be established, the Requested Service Date therefor, the type and quantity of circuits comprising the Service Interconnection and any charges and other information relevant thereto, such as, Customer's originating or terminating switch location, as the case may be. Such additional information may be obtained from Customer or gathered by MCI and recorded in Technical Information Sheets provided by MCI.
(C) Once ordered, and unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Service Interconnection(s) or the circuits comprising each Service Interconnection may only be canceled by Customer upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to MCI.
(D) With respect to a Carrier Service Interconnection, Customer shall be solely responsible for establishing and maintaining each Carrier Service Interconnection over facilities subject to MCI's approval. With respect to Dedicated Service Interconnections, MCI will provision and maintain local access facilities between the End User location (i.e., PBX) and the MCI POP, subject to any LEC charges plus other applicable terms and charges set forth in MCI's applicable tariffs (or the applicable tariffs of its affiliates), however, Customer may elect to be responsible for establishing each Dedicated Service Interconnection over facilities subject to MCI's approval. Service Interconnections shall be only comprised of DS-1 facilities unless otherwise provided for in the Service Request and agreed to in writing by MCI. If a Service Interconnection is proposed to be made via a local exchange carrier, MCI will have the authority to direct Customer to utilize MCI's entrance facilities or local serving arrangement ("LSA") with the relevant local telephone operating company, and Customer will be subject to a non-discriminatory charge therefor from MCI. The monthly recurring charge relevant to Customer's use of LSA capacity shall be subject to upward adjustment by MCI from time to time which adjustment, if any, shall not exceed the rate that otherwise would be charged for the equivalent switched access capacity between the same points by the relevant local telephone operating company pursuant to its published charges for the type of service in question.
(E) If other private line interexchange facilities are necessary to establish a Service Interconnection, and such facilities are requested from MCI, such facilities will be provided on an individual case basis.
(F) Commencing with the second full calendar month following Start of Service for each circuit comprising a Service Interconnection (i.e., Carrier Service Interconnections and Dedicated Service Interconnections) and thereafter, Customer will maintain Switched Services measured usage charges per DS-i (or DS-1 equivalent circuit) of not less than an average of * per calendar month/billing period ("Minimum Monthly Usage"). In the event Customer fails to obtain the required Minimum Monthly Usage for the circuits comprising each Service Interconnection, MCI will charge and Customer will pay the difference between the total combined number of DSis times the Minimum Monthly Usage (i.e., *) and Customer's total combined Switched Services measured usage charges for the circuit(s) comprising the Service Interconnection in question ("Minimum Usage Charge"). ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Service, ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER ORIGINATION Service
3
and ACCESS BASED BILLING END USER DEDICATED Service (1+ and TOLL FREE) carried over the same Service Interconnection shall be included in determining if Customer has met the Minimum Monthly Usage requirement described herein.

(A) Payment MCI xxxxxxxx for Switched Services hereunder are made on a monthly basis (or such other basis as may be mutually agreed to by the parties) following Start of Service. Subject to Subsection 5(0) below, Switched Services shall be billed at the rates set forth in the applicable Attachment(s). Discounts, if any, applicable to the rates for certain Services are set forth in the applicable Attachment(s). Customer will pay all undisputed charges relative to each MCI invoice for Switched Services within * of the invoice date set forth on each MCI invoice to Customer (collectively, the "Due Date"). If payment is not received by MCI on or before the Due Date, Customer shall also pay a late fee in the amount of the lesser of one and one-half percent (11/2%) of the unpaid balance of the charges for Switched Services rendered per month or the maximum lawful rate under applicable state law. Commencing with the Effective Date and continuing through the end of the Service Term, Customer agrees to provide MCI (a) unaudited financial statements within thirty (30) days following each month, (b) "reviewed" financial statements within forty-five (45) days following each quarter, and (c) audited financial statements within ninety (90) days following the end of each of Customer's fiscal years.

(B) Taxes Customer acknowledges and understands that MCI computes all charges herein exclusive of any applicable federal, state or local use, excise, gross receipts, sales and privilege taxes, duties, fees or similar liabilities (other than general income or property taxes), whether charged to or against MCI or Customer because of the Switched Services furnished to Customer ("Additional Charges"). Customer shall pay such Additional Charges in addition to all other charges provided for herein. Customer will not be liable for certain Additional Charges if Customer provides MCI with an appropriate exemption certificate. Provided, to the extent Customer is not an "end user" of the Services provided hereunder, with respect to any Additional Charges which are assessed solely on MCI's end users ("End User Charges"), MCI agrees not to assess Customer such End User Charges. Provided, however, in the event MCI is required to collect End User Charges from Customer, Customer agrees to pay MCI such End User Charges unless Customer provides MCI a written certification, signed by an officer of Customer, that Customer has directly paid such End User Charges.

10. REMEDIES FOR BREACH: In the event MCI elects its remedies under Subsection 7(B) of the Agreement and bills Customer's End Users directly, MCI agrees to collect any amounts owing from such End Users in good faith and in accordance with reasonable business practices. In the event MCI collects any amounts from Customer's End Users, such amounts will offset any amounts owed by Customer under this Agreement.

In conducting such review, the parties agree to take into account state and/or federal mandates regarding local access reform, if any, that may affect the cost of the Services provided hereunder and which result in either an increase or decrease to such rates.
16. CUSTOMER PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: In addition to MCI's obligations to protect Customer's Confidential Information under Section 20 of the ISA, MCI agrees to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding Customer's proprietary network information and the proprietary network information of Customer's End Users which information has been directly provided or disclosed by Customer to MCI.

(B) After determining Customer's applicable Discount under Subsection (A) above, the applicable Discount will only be applied to Customer's Interstate Switched Services Revenue (including Alaska, Hawaii, the United States Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands unless otherwise noted in an Attachment and including 1 + and ToIl Free usage unless otherwise noted in an Attachment).
(C) Accumulated credits derived from the applicable Discounts will be applied in arrears commencing with the first day of the month following the Effective Date, that is, the Discount will be applied to Customer's measured usage charges for the preceding month (the "Discount Period"). The initial Discount Period shall include any partial calendar month following Start of Service, or such other time basis as may be mutually determined by the parties. Each Discount will result in the application of a credit obtained during the Discount Period to the MCI invoice to Customer relevant to the billed measured Switched Service for the calendar month next following the completion of each Discount Period, provided Customer has paid undisputed charges (including any late fees, if applicable) for that month and has not otherwise been subject to a Suspension Notice in accordance with the Agreement. Failure of Customer to comply with the foregoing provision shall entitle MCI to withhold any credit due Customer for the Discount Period in question until such charges (including late fees) have been paid in full.
(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time while this Agreement is in effect following Customer's satisfaction of Customer's Total Minimum Revenue Commitment (as described in Subsection 3(B) above), if Customer's Monthly Revenue is less than *, MCI has the right to add * to Customer's Switched Services Revenue as defined in the New ABB Attachments.

MCI WORLDCOM NETWORK SERVICES, INC
ATTACHMENT FOR ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION SERVICE
This Attachment for ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Service is made by and between AmeriVision Communications, Inc. ("Customer") and MCI WORLDCOM Network Services, Inc. ("MCI") and is a part of their Telecommunications Services Agreement for Switched Services (ISA). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the ISA, the PET or the applicable Attachment(s). NOTE: ANY MODIFICATIONS, ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS FROM THIS AITACHMENT WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THE PET.
During the Service Term of the Agreement, MCI will provide "ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Service" which is MCI's termination of calls received from Customer's Service Interconnection(s) (as defined in the PET), (i) subject to the limitation of origination and termination locations set forth herein, and (ii) for the charges and applicable discounts set forth herein.
I. TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
(A) Forecasts: Before Customer's initial order for ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Services, Customer shall provide MCI with a forecast regarding the number of minutes expected to be terminated in various LATAs and/or Tandems, so as to enable MCI to configure optimum network arrangements. In the event Customer's traffic volumes result in a lower than industry standard completion rate or otherwise adversely affect the MCI Network, MCI reserves the right to block the source of such adverse traffic at any time. Customer will provide MCI with additional forecasts from time to time upon MCI's request, which shall not be more frequent than once every three (3) months.
(B) Start of Service: Start of Service for ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Service will be concurrent with the activation of each circuit comprising a Carrier Service Interconnection (as defined in the PET) relevant to ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Service.
(C) Limitation of Origination and Termination Locations: ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION Service may be originated from any MCI POP and terminated to any direct dialable location worldwide.
(D) Billing Increments: All calls (excluding California IntraLATA and California intrastate calls and calls to International Locations, Canada and Mexico) will be billed in six (6) second increments and subject to a six (6) second minimum charge. California IntraLATA and California intrastate calls will be billed in six (6) second increments and subject to an eighteen (18) second minimum charge. Calls to International Locations, Canada and Mexico will be billed in six (6) second increments and subject to a thirty (30) second minimum charge. All calls will be billed utilizing Hardware Answer Supervision where available.
(E) PIU CERTIFICATION: With respect to a Carrier Service Interconnection as defined in the PET, absent the automatic number identification ("ANI") of the calling party, Customer shall provide MCI with a written certification (the "Certification") of the percentage of interstate (including international) and intrastate minutes of use relevant to the minutes of traffic to be terminated in the same state in which the MCI POP is located to which the Carrier Service Interconnection is made. This Certification shall be provided by Customer prior to Start of Service for any Carrier Service Interconnection and may be modified from time to time by Customer and subject to recertification upon the request of MCI which requests shall not be made unilaterally by MCI more than once each calendar quarter. Any such modification(s) or Certification(s) shall be effective as of the first day of any calendar month and following at least forty-five (45) days notice from Customer. In the event Customer fails to make such Certification, the relevant minutes of use will be deemed to be subject to
1
the Intrastate Rates described herein. In the event MCI or any other third party requires an audit of MCI's interstate/intrastate minutes of traffic, Customer agrees to cooperate in such audit at its expense and make its call detail records, billing systems and other necessary information reasonably available to MCI or any third party solely for the purpose of verifying Customer's interstate/intrastate minutes of traffic. Customer agrees to indemnify MCI for any liability MCI incurs in the event Customer's Certification is different than that determined by the audit.
II. ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER TERMINATION SERVICE CHARGES.
For purposes of this Attachment, Customer's "Switched Services Revenue" will be comprised of Customer's gross (i.e., prior to the application of discounts) measured and per call Switched Service charges (i.e., Directory Assistance and both domestic and International) as described on the Schedules listed below. The rates and charges shown on the Schedules are per minute (except for the DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE charges which are per call) and will be determined based on the terminating location. The applicable OCN will be determined by the terminating ANI or the Local Routing Number. The applicable "Class" shown on the Schedules will be determined as follows:
(i) | Class 1 = All 9000 and 5000 series OCNs | |
(ii) | Class 2 = OCNs other than those specified in Class 1, Class 3 or Class 4 | |
(iii) | Class 3 = MCI and its affiliates' OCNs | |
(iv) | Class 4 = GTE's OCN5 |
* Note: If calls are terminated to an entity in a particular Class that reflects "NIA" as the applicable rate, the applicable rate will be the default rate shown on the Schedule until such time as MCI has loaded the appropriate rate for such Class in the billing system.

In the event Customer's traffic volumes result in a lower than industry standard completion rate or otherwise adversely affect the MCI Network, MCI reserves the right to block the source of such adverse traffic at any time. Customer will provide MCI with additional forecasts from time to time upon MCI's request, which shall not be more frequent than once every three (3) months.
(B) Start of Service: Start of Service for ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER ORIGINATION Service will be concurrent with the activation of each circuit comprising a Carrier Service Interconnection (as defined in the PET) relevant to ACCESS BASED BILLING CARRIER ORIGINATION Service.

The Payphone Surcharge will be assessed on all calls that originate from a payphone. Further, all calls that originate from a payphone that are terminated to Customer's Service Interconnection(s) will be deemed completed and will be assessed the Payphone Surcharge. If Customer does not want to be assessed the Payphone Surcharge for any or all toll free numbers, Customer must submit to MCI an order to block such toll free numbers from being accessed from a payphone.

The letter of indemnification will state, among other things, that Customer agrees to compensate the PSPs directly for all payphone surcharges and that Customer will indemnify MCI and its affiliates for any payphone surcharges that MCI or its affiliates incur. Customer may also be required to include with the letter of indemnification a letter from certain PSP5 (as determined by MCI) whereby the PSPs verify that Customer has entered into a mutual agreement to directly compensate them for calls from payphones and that the PSP will not seek payphone compensation from MCI or its affiliates.
