▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) ("AppliedTheory") and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, a New York corporation
("NYSERNet").
BACKGROUND
This Amendment is made with reference to the following facts:
A. NYSERNet and AppliedTheory are parties to that certain Resale
Agreement dated as of 10/1/96 (the "Agreement").
B. The parties executed amendment 1 to the Agreement on April 18, 2000
("Amendment No. 1") prior to agreement on all terms related to the
provision of OC-3 connectivity by AppliedTheory to NYSERNet Members.
Amendment 1 was issued at such time for the purpose of enabling
NYSERNet Members to place orders for OC-3 local loops, so that
AppliedTheory could complete delivery of such circuits in time for the
fall semester.
C. The parties desire to further amend the Agreement to finalize the
terms under which such OC-3 services will be provided and to modify
the Agreement in certain other respects as set forth below.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1 "Section 12 TERMINATION" is modified to replace Paragraph 12.5 and to
add Paragraphs 12.6 and 12.7 below:
12.5 NYSERNet Board member institutions purchasing Access Services at
speeds below T-3 may terminate their Access service agreements at
will. The customary three-month termination liability is reduced to
two months. Termination of a Board member institutions' service
agreement shall not affect the termination date of this Agreement.
12.6 For NYSERNet Board member institutions purchasing Access Services
at or above T-3 level, the two-month termination liability is reduced
to one-month. Termination of a Board member institutions' service
agreement shall not affect the termination date of this Agreement.
12.7 AppliedTheory shall be responsible for any termination charges or
other costs or penalties assessed by local exchange providers under
contract with AppliedTheory as a result of the early termination by
Certified Authorized Customers of OC-3 local loops. Given this
obligation, selection of local loop providers and contract term will
be mutually agreed to by the parties giving consideration to pricing,
service record, and terms and conditions including termination
liability.
For all purposes of this Agreement, a "Certified Authorized Customer"
means an Authorized Customer who is certified by NYSERNet to be in
good standing.
