releases the "Service Element" (as hereinafter defined) for testing
and repair ad ends when MCI retenders the Service Element to Customer.
For the purpose of determining the Annual Minimum, MCI will not reduce
Usage Charges by the amount of Credit Allowances applied. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Service Element" refers to the specific MCI
service affected at the specific geographic Customer location
affected.
6.6.2. Customer may discontinue receipt of service on a Service
Element at any time without liability except as otherwise expressly
provided for in the Tariff or this Agreement (an example of such a
provision might be where a private line installation charge is waived
but is to be assessed if the line is not in place for a minimum
period). If Customer discontinues receipt of service on a Service
Element having chronic Service Interruptions and does not take
substitute service form MCI, the Annual Minimum for purposes of
assessing underutilization charges shall be reduced by the average
monthly Usage Charges for the discontinued Service Element measured
over the last three (3) billing months prior to discontinuation. A
Service Element with chronic Service Interruptions is one on which
there have been three or more Service Interruptions, each consisting
of thirty (30) or more minutes, totaling twenty-four (24) or more
hours within three (3) consecutive calendar months.
6.7 Payment Arrangements: The Customer is required to pay MCI for its
--------------------
services within thirty (30) days of the Customer's receipt of MCI's invoice. In
consideration for services provided by MCI, Customer agrees to pay surety in the
amount of [*]. Surety shall be provided by June 3, 1996. Initial surety
requirements shall be based on estimated usage projections and MCI shall reserve
the right to require additional surety based on MCI traffic reporting and/or
actual usage. Should the customer fail to provide additional surety, MCI may
elect to disconnect all services immediately and without further notice. Surety
may be in the form of a cash deposit, an Irrevocable

with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions.

institution of a Cross Corporate Guarantee from Xxxxx Corporation. If Customer
elects to provide the Cross Corporate Guarantee, MCI will release the surety
upon receipt of such Guarantee. Cash deposits will be retained in an interest
bearing account held by MCI for a minimum of twelve (12) months. MCI shall
reserve the right to determine the customer's eligibility for refund of the
deposit based on customer's payment history and financial solvency and to retain
such deposit as is required to limit MCI's exposure.
6.8 Tariffed Rates: If MCI offers discounts applicable to a combination of
---------------
its services (as opposed to discounts on an individual service), the Customer
who has subscribed to one of the combined services may elect to receive the
benefits of such discounts in lieu of its SCA discounts. If the Customer so
chooses, the new discounts become binding for the remainder of the terms of
service.

-----------
and discounts provided under this Agreement, Customer must satisfy the following
conditions on an annual basis:

satisfying the terms of the Exclusive Carrier Requirement for any

solely for the purpose of determining Customer's compliance with the
Exclusive Carrier Requirement.
6.9.3. The rates and discounts for MCI Services set forth in this
Agreement are conditioned upon Customer's satisfaction of the
Exclusive Carrier Requirement. If Customer fails to satisfy the
Exclusive Carrier Requirements during any Annual Period, then the
rates and discounts which shall be applied to Customer's usage of MCI
Services for such Annual Period shall be MCI standard Tariff rates
(less standard discounts) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Agreement.
6.9.4. If the percentage of Customer's usage of MCI 800 Service
terminating via dedicated access facilities during any annual billing
period (excluding usage routed to switched lines for disaster recovery
purposes only) is less [*] of its total usage of MCI 800 Service (as
measured in minutes of use), Customer will pay an additional [*] per
minute of usage of MCI 800 Service terminating via dedicated access
facilities below such [*] threshold.
6.9.5. If the percentage of Customer's usage of interstate MCI 800
Service is less than eighty percent (80%) of its total usage of MCI
800 Service (as measured in minutes of use), Customer will pay an

successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Neither this agreement,
nor any rights or obligations of Customer herein shall be transferable or

outstanding amounts billed to Customer during the applicable First

underutilization charges where such underutilization charges arise

reasonable efforts to: (1) direct to MCI new traffic or traffic not
currently carried by MCI in order to meet the First and/or Second
Minimum; and (2) retain MCI as the provider of the service required
pursuant to the New Technology Change. [*] In the event Customer's
Usage Charges fall below seventy percent (70%) of the First and/or
Second Minimum during the term of service as the result of a [*],
Customer and MCI will use good faith efforts to re-negotiate the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to all
rates and discounts; provided however, that if a new agreement is not
reached within sixty (60) days of MCI's notice to Customer that
Customer's Usage Charges have fallen below seventy percent (70%) of

terminate this Agreement without liability to Customer upon ninety
(90) days prior written notice to Customer.
6.3 Business Downturn. Customer will not be liable for underutilization
-----------------
charges where such underutilization charges are solely [*]. In the
event that Customer's Usage Charges fall below seventy percent (70%)

result of such business downturn, MCI and Customer will cooperate in
efforts to develop a mutually agreeable alternative proposal that will
address the concerns of both parties and comply with all applicable
legal and
-------------------
[*] Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed
separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment
has been requested to the omitted portions.
-5-
regulatory requirements and restrictions, provided, however, that if a
new agreement is not reached within thirty (30) days of MCI's notice
to Customer that Customer's Usage Charges have fallen below [*], MCI
may terminate this Agreement without liability to Customer upon ninety
(90) days written notice. By way of example and not limitation, the
alternative proposal may include changes in discounts, credits,
revenue, and/or volume commitments, the multi-year service period, and
other provisions. Subject to all applicable legal and regulatory
requirements of the Federal Communications Commission and the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, MCI will prepare and file any
tariff revisions necessary to implement such mutually agreeable
alternative proposal. This provision will not apply to a change
resulting from a decision by Customer to: (1) reduce its overall use
of telecommunications service; (2) alter its telecommunications
network architecture; or (3) transfer portions of its
telecommunications traffic or projected growth to carriers other than
MCI. This provision will also not apply during the first twelve (12)
months of the term of service and, after the first twelve (12) months,
may only be used one (1) time by Customer during the term of service.
Customer must give MCI immediate written notice of the conditions it
believes will require the application of this provision.
6.4 Force Majeure. Customer will not be liable for underutilization
-------------
charges where such underutilization charges are solely due to events
beyond the reasonable control of Customer. The Customer will promptly
notify MCI of the force majeure circumstances, and the term of service
will be extended by the time of the delay caused by the force majeure
event.
6.5 Termination.
-----------
6.5.1 Except as set forth below, if Customer terminates service
under this Contract Tariff after the Effective Date and
before the expiration of the term of service, it will
constitute a breach of this Contract Tariff and Customer
will be billed and required to: (1) repay a pro rata portion
of all credits received under this Contract Tariff; and, (2)
pay an early termination charge equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the First and/or Second Minimum for the First
and/or Second Period remaining in the term of service or a
pro rata portion thereof for any partial First and/or Second
Period.

6.5.2 The Customer may terminate this Contract Tariff prior to the
expiration of the term of service without termination
liability if Customer enters into another Contract Tariff
with term and volume commitments equal to or greater than
the commitments under this Contract Tariff.
6.6 Service Interruptions.
---------------------
6.6.1 Customer will be entitled to Credit Allowances for Service
Interruptions in accordance with Section 6.15 of the Tariff.
A Service Interruption begins when Customer reports the
interruption to MCI and releases the "Service Element" (as
hereinafter defined) for testing and repair and ends when
MCI retenders the Service Element to Customer. For the
purpose of determining the First and/or Second Minimum, MCI
will not reduce Usage Charges by the amount of Credit
Allowances applied. For purposes of this Agreement, "Service
Element" refers to the specific MCI service affected at the
specific geographic Customer location affected.
6.6.2 Customer may discontinue receipt of service on a Service
Element at any time without liability except as otherwise
expressly provided for in the Tariff or this Agreement (an
example of such a provision might be where a private line
installation charge is waived but is to be assessed if the
line is not in place for a minimum period). If Customer
discontinues receipt of service on a "Service Element having
chronic Service Interruptions" and does not take substitute
service from MCI, the First and/or Second Minimum for
purposes of assessing underutilization charges will be
reduced by the average monthly Usage Charges for the
discontinued Service Element measured over the last three
(3) billing months prior to discontinuation. For purposes of
this Contract Tariff, a Service Element having chronic
Service Interruptions is one on which there have been three
(3) or more Service Interruptions, each consisting of thirty
(30) or more minutes, totaling twenty-four (24) or more
hours within three (3) consecutive calendar months.
6.7 Payment Arrangements. The Customer is required to pay MCI for its
--------------------
services within (30) days of the date of MCI's invoice. In
consideration for services provided by MCI, Customer agrees to pay
surety in the amount of [*]. Initial surety requirements will be based
on estimated usage projections and MCI will reserve the right to
require additional surety based on MCI traffic reporting and/or actual
usage. Should Customer fail to provide additional surety in a form
acceptable to MCI within
-------------------------
[*]Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions.
-7-
ten (10) business days after Customer's notice of such requirement,
MCI may elect to disconnect all services immediately and without
further notice. Surety may be in the form of a cash deposit, an
Irrevocable Letter of Credit for a term of one (1) year issued by an
MCI approved financial institution, a performance bond with terms and
conditions and from an insurer acceptable to MCI or a cross corporate
guarantee from Xxxxx Corporation. If Customer elects to provide the
cross corporate guarantee, MCI will release other forms of surety upon
receipt of such cross corporate guarantee. However, should Customer
elect to terminate the cross corporate guarantee currently in effect
under this Agreement, Customer must provide alternative surety
acceptable to MCI concurrently with such termination of the cross
corporate guarantee. Cash deposits will be retained in an interest
bearing account held by MCI for a minimum of twelve (12) months. MCI
will reserve the right to determine Customer's eligibility for refund
of the deposit based on Customer's payment history and financial
solvency and to retain such deposit as is required to limit MCI's
exposure.
6.8 Tariffed Rates. If MCI offers discounts applicable to a combination
--------------
of its services (as opposed to discounts on an individual service),
Customer who has subscribed to one of the combined services may elect
to receive the benefits of such discounts in lieu of its SCA
discounts. If Customer so chooses, the new discounts become binding
for the remainder of the term of service.
6.9 Conditions. In order for Customer to be eligible to receive the rates
----------
and discounts provided under this Agreement, Customer must satisfy the
following conditions on an annual basis:
6.9.1 Customer agrees that it will utilize MCI [*] during the term
of service (the "Exclusive Carrier Requirement").
6.9.2 MCI may request in writing and Customer will promptly
provide to MCI in writing, proof satisfactory to MCI that
Customer is satisfying the terms of the Exclusive Carrier
Requirement for the First and/or Second Period
("Documentation"). MCI may review the Documentation solely
for the purpose of determining Customer's compliance with
the Exclusive Carrier Requirement.
6.9.3 The rates and discounts for MCI Services set forth in this
Agreement are conditioned upon Customers satisfaction of the
Exclusive Carrier Requirement. If Customer fails to satisfy
the Exclusive Carrier Requirement

and/or Second Period will be MCI standard Tariff rates (less
standard discounts) notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement.
6.9.4 If the percentage of Customer's usage of MCI 800 Service
terminating via dedicated access facilities during any
annual billing period (excluding usage routed to switched
lines for disaster recovery purposes only) is less than one
hundred percent (100%) of its total usage of MCI 800 Service
(as measured in minutes of use), Customer will pay an
additional [*] per minute of usage of MCI 800 Service
terminating via dedicated access facilities below such one
hundred percent (100%) threshold.
6.9.5 If the percentage of Customer's usage of interstate MCI 800
Service is less than eighty percent (80%) of its total usage
of MCI 800 Service (as measured in minutes of use), Customer
will pay an additional [*] per minute of usage of
interstate MCI 800 Service under such eighty percent (80%)
threshold.
6.9.6 If the percentage of Customer's usage of MCI 800 Service
occurring during the Non-Business Day time period is less
than sixty percent (60%) of its total usage of MCI 800
Service, Customer will pay an additional [*] per minute of
usage of Non-Business Day MCI 800 Service under such sixty
percent (60%) threshold.
6.9.7 Customer represents that as of April 30, 1997, Customer's
total of all IOC mileage for leased TDS 1.5 circuits will be
equal to an average of [*] miles or less and as of October
31, 1997, TDS 45 circuits will be equal to an average of [*]
miles or less.
6.9.8 Customer represents that as of April 30, 1997, Customer will
lease from MCI a minimum of [*] TDS 1.5 circuits and as of
October 31, 1997, a minimum of [*] TDS 45 circuits;
provided, however, that such TDS 1.5 and 45 circuits are
available to Customer's selected locations.
6.10 Credits.

6.10.1 The Customer will receive a credit, not to exceed [*], for
the one-time charges associated with the implementation of
MCI service under this Contract Tariff. Such credits will be
issued from time to time throughout the
