demands being made by employees or other personnel. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any such event occurs, either party may terminate this Agreement

Installation
o Services, fees and schedules have been provided under separate cover
"Wiring Installation Process and Requirements for Xxxx South ADSL
Deployment" dated 9/15/99.
Excerpts from Telamon's installation proposal are included in the following
paragraphs.
Installer Reporting
Telamon proposes to provide real time results reporting to support this project.
The installer will input required information at the customer's location that
will update the database essentially immediately. Telamon's program is password
protected to insure the integrity of the information being reported. The format
for this information can be tailored to the needs of Telocity. Alternatively,
should Telocity require direct input to its database, this is certainly
feasible. Telamon would only request that Telocity provide Telamon customer
information on a daily basis. Such information is critical to the installers,
our dispatch team and our installer help desk in assuring optimal service for
the customer and minimizing redundancy of activity in the event of a failed
install, repair or service call.
Recommended Installation Schedule
Telamon typically schedules installations at 8 am, 11 am, 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
daily, with a two-hour window to accomplish the installation. The installer
arrives at the customer's location as an example, between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. for
the 8 a.m. installation, having obtained customer permission to arrive ahead of
schedule.
Telamon's normal hours of operation for the installation team are 7 a.m. to 5
p.m. Scheduled installations, which occur after 5 p.m. and on Saturdays will be
subject to an additional installation charge (to be negotiated).
Telamon maintains the following insurance limits, and will maintain them for the
entire term of the contract:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance in an amount not less
than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for
bodily injury or property damage;
2. Employer's Liability Insurance in an amount not less than one
million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence;
3. Workers' Compensation Insurance in an amount not less than
that prescribed by statutory limits;
4. Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance applicable to bodily
injury and property damage, covering owned, non-owned, leased
and hired vehicles, in an amount not less than one million
dollars ($1,000,000) per accident;
5. Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance with a combined single
limit of no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence to apply over
10

Commercial General Liability, Employer's Liability, Workers'
Compensation, and Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance.

Installer Help Desk
Telamon has an ADSL help desk capable of providing support for the installers.
Our technicians are experienced in dealing with a range of issues including the
following:
o ADSL help desk technicians are skilled in working with local exchange
carriers to troubleshoot and resolve local loop issues, and can serve
as the single point of contact between the carrier, the installers and
end users. This allows the carrier to be certain that standardized
troubleshooting procedures are being followed prior to their
involvement and also insures that changes in troubleshooting procedures
will be implemented immediately and pervasively.
o Telamon maintains an extensive technical knowledge base on the company
intranet that provides help desk technicians with quick access to
on-line reference material. The knowledge base is updated regularly to
insure that the technicians are using the most current information in
their troubleshooting procedures.
Additional
The final step of the installation is completion of the Customer Satisfaction
survey. In Telamon's system, the installer will open the survey on the
customer's computer enter his name, city, phone number and e-mail address. The
installer will then request the customer take a few minutes to voluntarily
complete the survey and forward to Telamon electronically. The web page will be
set up to forward a record to Telamon even in the event a customer chooses not
to fill out the survey. This assures Telamon that the installer is following the
procedures outlined in the installation manual as well as providing feedback on
the installer's performance.
