TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Service Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") apply to the Services (as defined below) described in the Service Order Form
("SOF") by and between Bandwidth.com, Inc. ("Provider") and the customer named in the SOF ("Customer").
Provider may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time by posting an amended version at www/broadband.com/legal/terin and sending
Customer written notice thereof. Such amendment will be deemed accepted and become effective thirty (30) days after such notice (the "Proposed
Amendment Date") unless Customer first gives Provider written notice of rejection of the amendment. If Customer rejects such amendment, these
Terms and Conditions will continue pursuant to its original provisions and the amendment will become effective at the commencement of the next
Renewal Term (as defined below) following the Proposed Amendment Date. Customer's continued use of the Services following the effective date
of an amendment will confirm Customer's consent thereto.
1. Service Description. Provider will provide Customer with the Services described in the SOF for the Service Term so long as no Default (as
defined below) has occurred. Customer has the sole and exclusive responsibility for the installation, configuration, security (including, without
limitation, firewall security policies, even if Customer uses a third party to configure and implement such measures), and integrity of all
Customer facilities, systems, equipment, proxy servers, software, networks, network configurations and the like (the "CPE") used in
conjunction with or related to the Services provided by Provider, unless Customer obtains such CPE from Provider pursuant to a written
agreement between Customer and Provider and Provider expressly assumes any of such duties in writing.
2. Service Activation Date. The "Service Activation Date" means the date two (2) business days after Provider deems the applicable Services
ready for activation, which customarily will follow Provider's receipt of confirmation from any applicable underlying carrier(s) that the Services
are ready for activation; provided, however, with respect to MPLS Services (as defined below) only (as identified on the SOF), the "Service
Activation Date" means the earlier of (i) the date two (2) business days after Provider deems the Services ready for activation, which
customarily will follow Provider's receipt of confirmation from any applicable underlying carrier(s) that the Services are ready for activation;
and (ii) the date the Service is successfully activated by the underlying carrier and confirmed tested and accepted by Customer and
Provider. Provider will notify Customer (via phone, email or other means) of the Service Activation Date. For clarity, the Service Activation
Date established by Provider will apply regardless of whether Customer has completed all necessary steps to activate the Services.
3. Service Term. The initial Service Term will be as specified in any applicable SOF (the "Initial Service Term"). The Initial Service Term will
automatically extend thereafter upon the same terms and conditions applicable during the Initial Service Term for additional consecutive term(s)
of one (1) year unless earlier terminated pursuant to these Terms and Conditions or unless either party provides notice of nonrenewal to the
other at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Service Term.
4. Service Availability. Provider may from time to time interrupt or otherwise impact Services for routine maintenance. Provider will make
commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer reasonable advance notification (via phone, email or other means) of such maintenance.
Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such maintenance in a manner that will not unreasonably interrupt Services.
Provider normally will perform maintenance between the hours of 11:30 PM and 6:00 AM Eastern. If Provider determines that emergency
maintenance is necessary for any reason, Provider will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer with respect to the anticipated
down -time and/or other information pertinent to the affected Services.
5. Service Support. Provider provides support for the Services only as described at www.broadband.com/legal/support pursuant to any applicable
Service Level Agreement ("SLA") posted at www.broadband.com/legal/SLA. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERM OF THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OR ANY APPLICABLE SLA TO THE CONTRARY, PROVIDER DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY SERVICES BEYOND THE
PROVIDER POINT OF DEMARCATION, DEFINED AT WWW.BROADBAND.COM/LEGAL/SUPPORT.
6. Applicable Only If Customer Leases CPE from Provider: If Customer installation is required, then Customer must install such leased
CPE in accordance with instructions provided by Provider (or its third party vendor). Such CPE must be used solely to utilize Services.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Provider retains title to such CPE at all times and will not remove or modify any marking
indicating Provider's ownership of such CPE. Customer will allow Provider reasonable access to the CPE as required to provide the CPE
and/or any applicable Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such leased CPE may be new or recertified. CPE leased by
Customer from Provider may be covered under a limited warranty provided by any applicable manufacturer or provider, which Provider will
extend to Customer without charge to the extent Provider can do so pursuant to Provider's agreements with any applicable manufacturer or
provider; however, Provider provides no warranty with respect to any such leased CPE (and/or CPE provider service). Customer will reimburse
Provider, on a time and materials basis, for Provider's entire cost to repair and/or replace any such CPE in the event of (a) misuse, (b) failure to
exercise reasonable care, (c) alteration of the original configuration of such CPE by Provider, (d) damage, (e) theft, or (f) disaster. If such CPE
requires maintenance not caused by one of the events set out in the preceding sentence, Provider (or its agents) will either arrange to repair such
CPE at Customer's premises or ship an equivalent pre -configured replacement to Customer. If Provider ships replacement CPE to Customer at
any time, Customer will return, at Customer's cost and expense, the replaced CPE to Provider not later than ten (10) days immediately after
Customer's receipt of the replacement CPE or pay for such replaced CPE. Customer will not receive any compensation or credit for any
Page 1

downtime or outages associated with the replacement or repair of any such CPE. Upon expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions
and/or any applicable SOF for any reason, Customer will return, at Customer's cost and expense, to Provider any leased CPE not later than ten
(10) days immediately after the expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Customer is responsible
for all risk of loss and damage to CPE being shipped to Provider pursuant to this Section 6. If Customer fails to return such leased CPE in good
working condition to Provider not later than thirty (30) days immediately after the expiration or termination of the Service Term, Provider will
charge Customer (and Customer agrees to pay Provider) the greater of $5,000.00 or the commercial value of such CPE, which amount
represents the agreed -upon value of the CPE. If Customer terminates any applicable lease of any CPE prior to the expiration or termination of
any applicable Service Tenn, in addition to any amounts otherwise due and payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of such lease, Provider
may charge Customer a restocking fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original purchase price of such leased CPE. Notwithstanding any
terms or conditions of any SLA to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6, Provider does not maintain, support or
manage any CPE, which will be the obligation of Customer solely. Customer is solely responsible for unauthorized access to or use of any
Services by any third -party through CPE, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental, intentional or fraudulent
and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access.
7. Applicable Only If Customer Purchases CPE from Provider: CPE purchased by Customer from Provider may be covered under a limited
warranty provided by any applicable manufacturer or provider, which Provider will extend to Customer without charge to the extent Provider
can do so pursuant to our agreements with any applicable manufacturer or provider; however, Provider provides no warranty with respect to any
such purchased CPE (and/or CPE provider service). All sales of CPE purchased by Customer from Provider are final; provided, however, if
Customer receives purchased CPE that is damaged or nonfunctional upon arrival, (i) within ten (10) days of receipt of such damaged or
nonfunctional CPE, Customer must notify Provider via email to Customer Care at customercare(a)broadband.com to request an RMA; (ii)
Provider only will accept returns of any such damaged or nonfunctional products within thirty (30) days of the date of the shipment to Customer
by Provider; (iii) any such damaged or nonfunctional CPE timely returned to Provider by Customer must be fully complete, including all

pursuant to this Section 7; and (vii) if Provider determines that the CPE operates within manufacturer specifications upon return pursuant to any
applicable RMA, the affected CPE will be returned to Customer at Customer's sole cost and expense, the sale of such CPE will remain final,
and Provider may charge Customer a restocking fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original purchase price of such CPE. Notwithstanding
any terms or conditions of any SLA to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7, Provider does not maintain,
support or manage any CPE, which will be the obligation of Customer solely. Customer is solely responsible for unauthorized access to or use
of any Services by any third -party through CPE, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental, intentional or
fraudulent and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access.
8. Applicable Only If Customer Obtains Managed Network Services Pursuant to Any Applicable SOF: "Managed Network Services" are
Services that may be specified in writing as "Managed Network Services" pursuant to any applicable SOF and is a solution in which the Internet
access CPE (whether provided by Customer or Provider) is managed by Provider. If Customer chooses to provide its own Internet access CPE,
Customer hereby assigns full operational management responsibility, including, but not limited to, full management of the logical configuration
for such CPE, solely to Provider. Except as expressly provided in any applicable SOF, no Managed Network Services apply.

10. Billing and Payment. Unless the terms and conditions of any applicable SOF provide for prepayment to Provider by Customer with respect to
any applicable Service(s), Customer will pay for all Service(s) not later than the date fifteen (15) calendar days immediately after the invoice
date reflected on Provider's invoice ("Due Date"). Provider will bill Customer, and Customer will pay, for Services at the rates stated in any
applicable SOF, including, without limitation, any applicable MRC and/or NRC, as well as any other charges or amounts as described in the
SOF and/or these Terms and Conditions. After any applicable Initial Service Term, Provider may increase any applicable rates, including,
without limitation, any applicable MRC and/or NRC, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to Customer; provided, however, Provider may
at any time pass on to Customer any circuit price increases from any applicable underlying carrier(s) upon at least thirty (30) days written notice
to Customer. Bills and/or charges will include all applicable federal, state, 'and local taxes; all such taxes, and all use, sales, commercial, gross
receipts, privilege, surcharges, or other similar taxes, license fees, surcharges and miscellaneous fees, including but not limited to regulatory fees
such as Universal Service Fund and including, without limitation, any cost recovery fee which shall represent an accurate and non -inflated
recovery of Provider's, or any underlying provider's, miscellaneous tax, surcharge, and fee payments to federal, state or local governmental
authorities associated with the provision of Services by Provider to Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable
SOF ("Taxes" and "Fees" or together "Taxes and Fees"), whether or not charged to or against Provider, will be payable by Customer.
However, if Customer provides proof of its exempt status for a specific Tax or Fee, Provider will not charge the applicable Tax or Fee due to
such exemption. If applicable, Customer will supply Provider a valid and properly executed tax exemption certificate(s) in the form of an email
(with supporting attachments) sent to customercare(a,broadband.com with "Notice of Tax Exempt Status" in the subject line of the email. In
such cases Customer remains responsible for, and agrees to pay, any and all remaining non-exempt Taxes and Fees; tax exemption status
validation is solely the responsibility of Customer and Provider will not be obligated to consider any retroactive tax exemption. In the event of
any Regulatory Activity, Provider reserves the right, at any time with as much advance notice as reasonably possible and without liability, to: (i)
Page 2

Terms and Conditions — Updated September 2011
pass through to Customer all, or a portion of, any Taxes and Fees directly or indirectly related to such Regulatory Activity; (ii) modify the
Services, rates (including any applicable rate guarantees), promotions, terms and/or conditions of these Terms and Conditions and/or any
applicable SOF to conform to such Regulatory Activity; and/or (iii) if such Regulatory Activity materially and adversely impairs the provision
of Services pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, as reasonably determined by Provider, terminate these Terms
and Conditions, any applicable SOF and/or the provision of any applicable Services. Provider will commence billing for all MRC and any other
charges pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF on any applicable Service Activation Date. Except as expressly
provided in any applicable SOF, the MRC applicable to any applicable Service for the first and second calendar months immediately following
the applicable Service Activation Date (and any then applicable NRC) will be billed upon the Service Activation Date. If applicable, the MRC
applicable to any applicable Service for the first partial calendar month immediately following the applicable Service Activation Date will be
pro rated and billed accordingly. Thereafter, the applicable MRC for each calendar month (and any applicable NRC) will be billed on or about
the first day of such calendar month. Time is of the essence with respect to any amounts due or payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions
and/or any applicable SOF. After fifteen (15) days of non-payment after the Due Date, all fees will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month or any part thereof, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, and Customer will pay all collection costs incurred
by Provider (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees). If, at any time after any applicable Due Date for any applicable bill,
Customer has failed to make satisfactory payment as determined by Provider, Provider may give Customer written notification (by email or
otherwise), that Customer has committed a Default of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Provider will provide the
"Notification of Default" at least two (2) business days prior to Provider's suspension or termination of any applicable Service for such
Customer. Customer must pay all outstanding amounts payable to Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF
within such two (2) business day period to avoid suspension or termination of any applicable Service. If Provider terminates any applicable
Service for such Customer due to non-payment pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, then, in addition to any
other amounts then due and payable by Customer to Provider, Customer also will be obligated to pay to Provider the fees described in these
Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Upon termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF(s), then
Provider may collect from Customer: (i) all amounts due and payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, including, without limitation, any
document incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions, for Service(s) provided prior to such termination, including, without
limitation, any past due balance at the time of such termination, and/or the remainder of the Service Term; (ii) the total of all minimum
commitments for any Service(s) for the remainder of the Service Term applicable pursuant to any applicable SOF(s); (iii) any early termination
charges, if any, specified in any applicable SOF(s) or any other document or agreement between Customer and Provider; and (iv) if such
termination arises pursuant to any Default, any non -recurring charges previously waived at any time by Provider. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that the damages arising due to the early termination of this Agreement would be difficult to determine and, therefore, for the sake of
efficiency, economy and convenience, any early termination charges constitute liquidated damages and are not intended as a penalty or to be
punitive in nature. Upon the occurrence of a Default (other than for nonpayment as provided above), Provider may immediately suspend or
terminate any applicable Service for such Customer. Provider may, at any time and in its sole discretion: (i) require a security deposit to
continue provisioning any applicable Service to Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, if Customer's
level of approved credit, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion, is deemed insufficient, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion;
(ii) change payment terms, billing cycle, and/or any applicable Due Date(s); (iii) demand immediate payment by wire or other means and
discontinue any applicable Service for Customer without notice to Customer if Customer's level of approved credit, as determined by Provider
in its sole discretion, is deemed insufficient, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion; and/or (iv) immediately block Customer's access to
or use of any applicable Service if a Customer's pre -paid balance is depleted, or Customer otherwise refuses to make any reasonably requested
payments. Provider retains the right to bill, including, without limitation, amend or correct any bill previously issued, for any applicable Service
provided pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, for a period of up to twelve (12) months, commencing from the
date of the provision of any applicable Services to Customer. Provider will retain such billing rights for such twelve (12) month period
notwithstanding any prior billing to Customer for the same period(s) and regardless of any otherwise conflicting billing conditions in these
Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. For the duration of such twelve (12) month period, Provider will not be deemed to have
waived any rights with regard to billing for any applicable Service provided pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF
during such period, nor will any legal or equitable doctrines apply, including estoppel or laches. Unpaid bills and/or charges may be sent to
third party collection agencies.
11. Billing Disputes. If Customer disputes any amounts charged to Customer by Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any
applicable SOF, Customer will pay in full all charges billed by any applicable Due Date and thereafter submit written notification, within thirty
(30) calendar days of the date of the disputed charges, in the form of an email sent to customercare(a),broadband.com with "Notice of Billing
Dispute" in the subject line of the email. Such email notification must include Customer's complete contact information, the specific dollar
amount in dispute, detailed supporting calculations and reasons for the dispute, and any supporting documentation, if available, in the body of or
attached to, the email. Provider will respond to Customer, in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days immediately after receipt of from
Customer of any such notice of billing dispute. Any dispute resolved in favor of Customer will be credited as appropriate to the next bill
issuable by Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. If Provider determines that any disputed amounts are
correct as billed pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, Provider will notify Customer in writing that the charges
have been deemed valid and legitimate, and the dispute will be considered resolved by both parties; if, for any reason, any amount(s) remain due
from Customer related to such dispute, then all such amounts will be due and payable immediately. Provider reserves the right to deny or delay
any and all billing disputes and/or credits if Customer's account is in arrears or otherwise not in good standing.
12. Resumption of Service. If Customer requests the restoration of any applicable Service to such Customer after a suspension or termination,
Provider has the sole and absolute discretion to restore any applicable Service to such Customer and may condition restoration upon satisfaction
of such conditions as Provider determines necessary, including, without limitation, Customer's execution or delivery of a new agreement,
payment of all past due amounts in full, completion of Provider's credit approval process, and/or the making of advance payments. Additional
NRC also may apply.

Terms and Conditions — Updated September 2011
13. Additional NRC and Usage Charges.
General. Provider also may invoice Customer for the following NRCs: (i) Changes of IP Addresses: $100.00; (ii) Service Reinstatement /
Resumption Fee: $200.00 (plus any charges imposed by underlying carrier(s) and/or pursuant to Section 12 above); (iii) Missed Appointment
Fee: $200.00; (iv) Rejected Credit Card/Unpaid Check: $40.00 (or legal limit, if lower); (v) Relocation Fee: varies upon address; (vi) Upgrade
Charge: varies upon specific upgrade requested; and (vii) Downgrade Charge: varies upon specific downgrade requested.
Inside Wiring. The availability of inside wiring installation is dependent upon a number of factors, including, without limitation, any applicable
service address and/or LEC availability. Any inside wiring provided by Provider's underlying carrier(s) may incur additional fees to the charges
listed in the SOF. Any request for inside wiring or wiring extension for any applicable Services will be provided on a best -effort basis only. In
many cases, Customer's LEC will not extend wiring beyond the Minimum Point of Entry ("MPOE") as determined by the LEC. In all such
cases, Customer will provide any needed internal wiring or extensions (and required conduit, facilities, power, etc.) to the circuit required to
provision service unless Provider has agreed in writing to provide this service to Customer.
Special Construction Charge. When a Customer's location has insufficient facilities needed to support any applicable Service, the underlying
carrier(s) may add facilities that may impose an additional "special construction charge" or other similar charge. If this occurs, Provider will
notify Customer (via phone, email or other means) of the cost of these additional special construction charges, if available and if any, as well as
the estimated time to complete the construction. Customer must agree in writing to pay these additional special construction costs within three
(3) business days. If Customer fails to do so, Provider will cancel the SOF for lack of facilities and the SOF will terminate without liability to
either Customer or Provider.
Miscellaneous Charges. Miscellaneous charges and/or fees imposed by any third party carrier or any underlying provider from time to time,
whether charged to or against Provider, will be payable by Customer, including, without limitation, any cost recovery fee which shall represent
an accurate and non -inflated recovery of the miscellaneous charges and/or fees to or against Provider associated with the provision of Service(s)
by Provider to Customer.
Usage Charges (Applicable to Burstable Dedicated Internet Access Service Onlyl: Additional usage charges stated in any applicable SOF
will be calculated based on Customer's monthly usage, which Provider will calculate as follows: Provider will take usage samples
approximately everyfive (5) minutes throughout the applicable month and will retain the higher of two (2) samples taken during each
five (5) minute period - one (1) sample that will reflect inbound usage / utilization and one (1) sample that will reflect outbound usage
/ utilization. At the end of the applicable billing period, the samples will be arranged from highest to lowest. Provider will discard the
top five percent (5%) of the samples for the purposes of calculating Customer's monthly usage. Provider will utilize the highest
remaining sample (i.e., the ninety-fifth percentile (95%) peak Mbps port utilization) (the "Mbps Port Utilization") to calculate
Customer's monthly usage. Provider will measure the Mbps Port Utilization to the 100th decimal place, but the invoice will reflect the
Mbps Port Utilization only to the 10th decimal place. Provider will multiply the Mbps Port Utilization by the per -Meg rate listed on any
applicable SOF to calculate any applicable additional usage charges. Provider will charge Customer such additional usage charges as
well as any applicable base rate provided in any applicable SOF.
14. IP Addresses. Customer acknowledges that Provider retains title at all times to the IP addresses assigned to Customer in connection with any
Service. Upon IP address reassignment or expiration, cancellation or termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF,
Customer will relinquish any IP addresses or address blocks assigned to Customer by Provider or its underlying carrier(s) and will perform all
acts reasonably requested by Provider to return to Provider full use of such IP addresses and address blocks.
15. Default. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Provider may, in addition to delivering an Escalation Notice pursuant to Section 19(a) below: (i)
suspend Provider's performance of any or all Services without liability or further obligation immediately; (ii) terminate any or all SOF(s)
without liability or further obligation immediately upon written notification of termination to Customer; and/or (iii) terminate these Terms and
Conditions and/or any applicable SOF without liability or further obligation immediately upon written notification of termination to Customer.
Upon the occurrence of a Default, the following fees will apply, which Customer acknowledges and agrees are customary and reasonable and do
not constitute a penalty or premium: (a) any amounts due pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF incurred prior to

18. License; Intellectual Property.
(a) Subject to Customer's compliance with these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, Provider grants Customer a non-
exclusive, non -transferable license to use any Electronic Tools provided by Provider from time to time solely in connection with Customer's use

such suggestions, comments and/or other feedback subject to any terms that would impose any obligation on Provider or any of its customers or
partners.
19. Dispute Resolution Process and Applicable Law.
(a) It is the mutual desire of the parties to promptly and fully resolve any dispute arising in connection with these Terms and
Conditions and/or any applicable SOF in good faith, confidentially, and informally with minimal transaction costs; no public statement may be
made by any party regarding any such dispute. If either party determines that the dispute cannot be resolved informally, then such party will
initiate an escalation process by giving written notice ("Escalation Notice") to the other party. Each party will name one executive as its
representative, to be a person knowledgeable of the subject matter in dispute and someone with authority to discuss the dispute ("Officers").
The Officers will meet in person or by conference call, together with any persons assisting them, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the
Escalation Notice. All negotiations conducted by the Officers are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for
purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any state rules of evidence. The Officers will conduct such additional meetings as they deem
necessary to exchange relevant information, will appoint staff to engage in resolution of any disputed facts, and will attempt to resolve the
dispute. Should the Officers be unable to resolve the dispute within such fifteen (15) days, or within such additional time as the parties may
otherwise agree to in writing, either party may demand mediation, whereupon the parties will, in good faith, mediate the dispute no later than
thirty (30) days after such demand through the services of a mutually selected mediator, the cost of whom will be borne equally by the parties, at
a date and location selected by the mediator after consultation with the parties. IF THE DISPUTE IS NOT RESOLVED AFTER APPLYING
THE ESCALATION PROCEDURES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE
TO SUBMIT ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS AND MATTERS OF DIFFERENCE TO ARBITRATION ACCORDING TO THE
COMMERCIAL RULES AND PRACTICES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA"). Arbitration hereunder will
occur within sixty (60) days of the date of submission before a single neutral arbitrator having significant experience in the subject matter of this
Agreement and who will selected in accordance with AAA rules. Arbitration proceedings will take place in Wake County, North Carolina.
Discovery will be permitted, including the use of interrogatories, requests for admission and production of documents and depositions. If the
amount claimed to be in dispute is less than $500,000, all applicable expedited procedures of the AAA will apply. The arbitrator's fees and
costs of the arbitration will be home by the party against whom the award is rendered, except that if the arbitrator issues a split decision,
granting partial relief to both parties, the arbitrator will equitably allocate the arbitrator's fees and other costs. Each party will pay its attorney's
fees related to any dispute related to this Agreement. The arbitration award will be final and binding on both parties of this Agreement, will not
be subject to any appeal and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, WILL BE
CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A
MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CUSTOMER WILL NOT BE A CLASS

Terms and Conditions — Updated September 2011
REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
(c) This Agreement will be governed by, construed under and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina
without reference to its choice of law principles or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. In the event any party
brings a civil action or initiates judicial proceedings of any kind related to this Agreement (except for actions to enter or collect on judgments),
the parties consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in Wake County, North Carolina and
the prevailing parry will be entitled to recover its costs, including reasonable attorney's fees.
20. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 21 BELOW, IN NO EVENT WILL PROVIDER OR CUSTOMER BE
LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
LOST PROFITS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN RELATION TO THE SERVICES, CPE, AND/OR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICE

MAXIMUM LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND/OR ANY APPLICABLE SOF IS LIMITED TO SERVICE
CREDITS NOT TO EXCEED THE FEES PAID TO PROVIDER BY CUSTOMER FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE PROVIDED
DURING THE PRECEDING TWELVE (12) CALENDAR MONTHS.
21. Indemnity. Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Provider and its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors,
representatives and affiliates from and against any and all actual or alleged losses, costs, claims, liability of any kind, damages (including to any
tangible property or bodily injury to or death of any person), or expense of whatever nature, (including reasonable attorneys' fees) to or by any
third party, relating to or arising from (a) the use of any Services provided to Customer, whether or not Customer has knowledge of or has
authorized access for such use, (b) any damage to or destruction of CPE or equipment not caused by Provider or its agents, and (c) any breach of
these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF by Customer. Customer will be solely responsible for implementing any installation,
configuration, and/or connection of any CPE and has the sole and exclusive responsibility for the security and integrity of such CPE, if any.
Customer therefore will indemnify and hold harmless Provider and its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors,
representatives and affiliates from and against any actual or alleged losses, costs, claims, liability of any kind, damages, or expenses or fees
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) on the part of or which may be incurred by Customer or a third -party relating to or arising from the use or
operation of CPE. Customer's indemnification in this Section 21 includes any actual or alleged losses or claims in connection with unauthorized
access to or use of any Services by any third -party through CPE, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental,
intentional or fraudulent and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access. In all such cases of unauthorized
access through or to CPE, Customer retains full and sole responsibility for any and all charges for the use of any Services as otherwise provided
in these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. If Provider grants Customer access to any Electronic Tools, Customer agrees that it
is fully and exclusively responsible for all information accuracy, charges, costs, transactions, and activities conducted through such Electronic
Tools. Customer agrees that it is fully and exclusively responsible to safeguard, monitor, manage, and maintain access by any Electronic Tools,
and to only allow authorized use of such Electronic Tools to Customer's Administrator(s) or Account Administrator, as the case may be.
Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Provider and its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors, representatives and
affiliates from and against any actual or alleged losses, costs, claims, liability of any kind, damages, or expenses or fees (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) on the part of or which may be incurred by Customer, or a third -party, relating to or arising from the use or operation of
Electronic Tools, including, without limitation, any actual or alleged losses or claims in connection with unauthorized access to, use,
transactions, or activity conducted through the Electronic Tools, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental,
intentional, or fraudulent, and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access. In all such cases of unauthorized
access through or by Electronic Tools, Customer retains full and sole responsibility for any and all charges for the use of any Services as
otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Service Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") apply to the Services (as defined below) described in the Service Order Form
("SOF") by and between Bandwidth.com, Inc. ("Provider") and the customer named in the SOF ("Customer").
Provider may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time by posting an amended version at www/broadband.com/leizat/terms and sending
Customer written notice thereof. Such amendment will be deemed accepted and become effective thirty (30) days after such notice (the "Proposed
Amendment Date") unless Customer first gives Provider written notice of rejection of the amendment. If Customer rejects such amendment, these
Terms and Conditions will continue pursuant to its original provisions and the amendment will become effective at the commencement of the next
Renewal Term (as defined below) following the Proposed Amendment Date. Customer's continued use of the Services following the effective date
of an amendment will confirm Customer's consent thereto.
1. Service Description. Provider will provide Customer with the Services described in the SOF for the Service Term so long as no Default (as
defined below) has occurred. Customer has the sole and exclusive responsibility for the installation, configuration, security (including, without
limitation, firewall security policies, even if Customer uses a third party to configure and implement such measures), and integrity of all
Customer facilities, systems, equipment, proxy servers, software, networks, network configurations and the like (the "CPE") used in
conjunction with or related to the Services provided by Provider, unless Customer obtains such CPE from Provider pursuant to a written
agreement between Customer and Provider and Provider expressly assumes any of such duties in writing.
2. Service Activation Date. The "Service Activation Date" means the date two (2) business days after Provider deems the applicable Services
ready for activation, which customarily will follow Provider's receipt of confirmation from any applicable underlying carrier(s) that the Services
are ready for activation; provided, however, with respect to MPLS Services (as defined below) only (as identified on the SOF), the "Service
Activation Date" means the earlier of (i) the date two (2) business days after Provider deems the Services ready for activation, which
customarily will follow Provider's receipt of confirmation from any applicable underlying carrier(s) that the Services are ready for activation;
and (ii) the date the Service is successfully activated by the underlying carrier and confirmed tested and accepted by Customer and
Provider. Provider will notify Customer (via phone, email or other means) of the Service Activation Date. For clarity, the Service Activation
Date established by Provider will apply regardless of whether Customer has completed all necessary steps to activate the Services.
3. Service Term. The initial Service Term will be as specified in any applicable SOF (the "Initial Service Term"). The Initial Service Term will
automatically extend thereafter upon the same terms and conditions applicable during the Initial Service Term for additional consecutive term(s)
of one (1) year unless earlier terminated pursuant to these Terms and Conditions or unless either party provides notice of nonrenewal to the
other at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Service Term.
4. Service Availability. Provider may from time to time interrupt or otherwise impact Services for routine maintenance. Provider will make
commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer reasonable advance notification (via phone, email or other means) of such maintenance.
Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such maintenance in a manner that will not unreasonably interrupt Services.
Provider normally will perform maintenance between the hours of 11:30 PM and 6:00 AM Eastern. If Provider determines that emergency
maintenance is necessary for any reason, Provider will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer with respect to the anticipated
down -time and/or other information pertinent to the affected Services.
5. Service Support. Provider provides support for the Services only as described at www.broadband.com/legal/sul)port pursuant to any applicable
Service Level Agreement ("SLA") posted at www.broadband.com/legal/SLA. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERM OF THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OR ANY APPLICABLE SLA TO THE CONTRARY, PROVIDER DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY SERVICES BEYOND THE
PROVIDER POINT OF DEMARCATION, DEFINED AT WWW.BROADBAND.COM/LEGAL/SUPPORT.
6. Applicable Only If Customer Leases CPE from Provider: If Customer installation is required, then Customer must install such leased
CPE in accordance with instructions provided by Provider (or its third party vendor). Such CPE must be used solely to utilize Services.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Provider retains title to such CPE at all times and will not remove or modify any marking
indicating Provider's ownership of such CPE. Customer will allow Provider reasonable access to the CPE as required to provide the CPE
and/or any applicable Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such leased CPE may be new or recertified. CPE leased by
Customer from Provider may be covered under a limited warranty provided by any applicable manufacturer or provider, which Provider will
extend to Customer without charge to the extent Provider can do so pursuant to Provider's agreements with any applicable manufacturer or
provider; however, Provider provides no warranty with respect to any such leased CPE (and/or CPE provider service). Customer will reimburse
Provider, on a time and materials basis, for Provider's entire cost to repair and/or replace any such CPE in the event of (a) misuse, (b) failure to
exercise reasonable care, (c) alteration of the original configuration of such CPE by Provider, (d) damage, (e) theft, or (f) disaster. If such CPE
requires maintenance not caused by one of the events set out in the preceding sentence, Provider (or its agents) will either arrange to repair such
CPE at Customer's premises or ship an equivalent pre -configured replacement to Customer. If Provider ships replacement CPE to Customer at
any time, Customer will return, at Customer's cost and expense, the replaced CPE to Provider not later than ten (10) days immediately after
Customer's receipt of the replacement CPE or pay for such replaced CPE. Customer will not receive any compensation or credit for any
Page 1
BANDWIDTH.COM, INC. - Proprietary & Confidential Information
downtime or outages associated with the replacement or repair of any such CPE. Upon expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions
and/or any applicable SOF for any reason, Customer will return, at Customer's cost and expense, to Provider any leased CPE not later than ten
(10) days immediately after the expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Customer is responsible
for all risk of loss and damage to CPE being shipped to Provider pursuant to this Section 6. If Customer fails to return such leased CPE in good
working condition to Provider not later than thirty (30) days immediately after the expiration or termination of the Service Term, Provider will
charge Customer (and Customer agrees to pay Provider) the greater of $5,000.00 or the commercial value of such CPE, which amount
represents the agreed -upon value of the CPE. If Customer terminates any applicable lease of any CPE prior to the expiration or termination of
any applicable Service Tenn, in addition to any amounts otherwise due and payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of such lease, Provider
may charge Customer a restocking fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original purchase price of such leased CPE. Notwithstanding any
terms or conditions of any SLA to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6, Provider does not maintain, support or
manage any CPE, which will be the obligation of Customer solely. Customer is solely responsible for unauthorized access to or use of any
Services by any third -party through CPE, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental, intentional or fraudulent
and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access.
7. Applicable Only If Customer Purchases CPE from Provider: CPE purchased by Customer from Provider may be covered under a limited
warranty provided by any applicable manufacturer or provider, which Provider will extend to Customer without charge to the extent Provider
can do so pursuant to our agreements with any applicable manufacturer or provider; however, Provider provides no warranty with respect to any

applicable SOF, including, without limitation, any applicable MRC and/or NRC, as well as any other charges or amounts as described in the
SOF and/or these Terms and Conditions. After any applicable Initial Service Term, Provider may increase any applicable rates, including,
without limitation, any applicable MRC and/or NRC, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to Customer; provided, however, Provider may
at any time pass on to Customer any circuit price increases from any applicable underlying carrier(s) upon at least thirty (30) days written notice
to Customer. Bills and/or charges will include all applicable federal, state, and local taxes; all such taxes, and all use, sales, commercial, gross
receipts, privilege, surcharges, or other similar taxes, license fees, surcharges and miscellaneous fees, including but not limited to regulatory fees

SOF ("Taxes" and "Fees" or together "Taxes and Fees"), whether or not charged to or against Provider, will be payable by Customer.
However, if Customer provides proof of its exempt status for a specific Tax or Fee, Provider will not charge the applicable Tax or Fee due to
such exemption. If applicable, Customer will supply Provider a valid and properly executed tax exemption certificate(s) in the form of an email
(with supporting attachments) sent to customercarenabroadband.com with "Notice of Tax Exempt Status" in the subject line of the email. In
such cases Customer remains responsible for, and agrees to pay, any and all remaining non-exempt Taxes and Fees; tax exemption status
validation is solely the responsibility of Customer and Provider will not be obligated to consider any retroactive tax exemption. In the event of
any Regulatory Activity, Provider reserves the right, at any time with as much advance notice as reasonably possible and without liability, to: (i)

Terms and Conditions — Updated September 2011
pass through to Customer all, or a portion of, any Taxes and Fees directly or indirectly related to such Regulatory Activity; (ii) modify the
Services, rates (including any applicable rate guarantees), promotions, terms and/or conditions of these Terms and Conditions and/or any
applicable SOF to conform to such Regulatory Activity; and/or (iii) if such Regulatory Activity materially and adversely impairs the provision
of Services pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, as reasonably determined by Provider, terminate these Terms
and Conditions, any applicable SOF and/or the provision of any applicable Services. Provider will commence billing for all MRC and any other
charges pursuant to these Terns and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF on any applicable Service Activation Date. Except as expressly
provided in any applicable SOF, the MRC applicable to any applicable Service for the first and second calendar months immediately following
the applicable Service Activation Date (and any then applicable NRC) will be billed upon the Service Activation Date. If applicable, the MRC
applicable to any applicable Service for the first partial calendar month immediately following the applicable Service Activation Date will be
pro rated and billed accordingly. Thereafter, the applicable MRC for each calendar month (and any applicable NRC) will be billed on or about
the first day of such calendar month. Time is of the essence with respect to any amounts due or payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions
and/or any applicable SOF. After fifteen (15) days of non-payment after the Due Date, all fees will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month or any part thereof, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, and Customer will pay all collection costs incurred
by Provider (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees). If, at any time after any applicable Due Date for any applicable bill,
Customer has failed to make satisfactory payment as determined by Provider, Provider may give Customer written notification (by email or
otherwise), that Customer has committed a Default of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Provider will provide the
"Notification of Default" at least two (2) business days prior to Provider's suspension or termination of any applicable Service for such
Customer. Customer must pay all outstanding amounts payable to Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF
within such two (2) business day period to avoid suspension or termination of any applicable Service. If Provider terminates any applicable
Service for such Customer due to non-payment pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, then, in addition to any
other amounts then due and payable by Customer to Provider, Customer also will be obligated to pay to Provider the fees described in these
Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Upon termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF(s), then
Provider may collect from Customer: (i) all amounts due and payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, including, without limitation, any
document incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions, for Service(s) provided prior to such termination, including, without
limitation, any past due balance at the time of such termination, and/or the remainder of the Service Term; (ii) the total of all minimum
commitments for any Service(s) for the remainder of the Service Term applicable pursuant to any applicable SOF(s); (iii) any early termination
charges, if any, specified in any applicable SOF(s) or any other document or agreement between Customer and Provider; and (iv) if such
termination arises pursuant to any Default, any non -recurring charges previously waived at any time by Provider. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that the damages arising due to the early termination of this Agreement would be difficult to determine and, therefore, for the sake of
efficiency, economy and convenience, any early termination charges constitute liquidated damages and are not intended as a penalty or to be
punitive in nature. Upon the occurrence of a Default (other than for nonpayment as provided above), Provider may immediately suspend or
terminate any applicable Service for such Customer. Provider may, at any time and in its sole discretion: (i) require a security deposit to
continue provisioning any applicable Service to Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, if Customer's
level of approved credit, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion, is deemed insufficient, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion;
(ii) change payment terms, billing cycle, and/or any applicable Due Date(s); (iii) demand immediate payment by wire or other means and
discontinue any applicable Service for Customer without notice to Customer if Customer's level of approved credit, as determined by Provider
in its sole discretion, is deemed insufficient, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion; and/or (iv) immediately block Customer's access to
or use of any applicable Service if a Customer's pre -paid balance is depleted, or Customer otherwise refuses to make any reasonably requested
payments. Provider retains the right to bill, including, without limitation, amend or correct any bill previously issued, for any applicable Service
provided pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, for a period of up to twelve (12) months, commencing from the
date of the provision of any applicable Services to Customer. Provider will retain such billing rights for such twelve (12) month period
notwithstanding any prior billing to Customer for the same period(s) and regardless of any otherwise conflicting billing conditions in these
Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. For the duration of such twelve (12) month period, Provider will not be deemed to have
waived any rights with regard to billing for any applicable Service provided pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF
during such period, nor will any legal or equitable doctrines apply, including estoppel or laches. Unpaid bills and/or charges may -be sent to
third party collection agencies.
11. Billing Disputes. If Customer disputes any amounts charged to Customer by Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any
applicable SOF, Customer will pay in full all charges billed by any applicable Due Date and thereafter submit written notification, within thirty
(30) calendar days of the date of the disputed charges, in the form of an email sent to customercare(a),broadband.com with "Notice of Billing
Dispute" in the subject line of the email. Such email notification must include Customer's complete contact information, the specific dollar
amount in dispute, detailed supporting calculations and reasons for the dispute, and any supporting documentation, if available, in the body of or
attached to, the email. Provider will respond to Customer, in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days immediately after receipt of from
Customer of any such notice of billing dispute. Any dispute resolved in favor of Customer will be credited as appropriate to the next bill
issuable by Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. If Provider determines that any disputed amounts are
correct as billed pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, Provider will notify Customer in writing that the charges
have been deemed valid and legitimate, and the dispute will be considered resolved by both parties; if, for any reason, any amount(s) remain due
from Customer related to such dispute, then all such amounts will be due and payable immediately. Provider reserves the right to deny or delay
any and all billing disputes and/or credits if Customer's account is in arrears or otherwise not in good standing.
12. Resumption of Service. If Customer requests the restoration of any applicable Service to such Customer after a suspension or termination,
Provider has the sole and absolute discretion to restore any applicable Service to such Customer and may condition restoration upon satisfaction
of such conditions as Provider determines necessary, including, without limitation, Customer's execution or delivery of a new agreement,
payment of all past due amounts in full, completion of Provider's credit approval process, and/or the making of advance payments. Additional
NRC also may apply.

Inside Wiring. The availability of inside wiring installation is dependent upon a number of factors, including, without limitation, any applicable
service address and/or LEC availability. Any inside wiring provided by Provider's underlying carrier(s) may incur additional fees to the charges
listed in the SOF. Any request for inside wiring or wiring extension for any applicable Services will be provided on a best -effort basis only. In
many cases, Customer's LEC will not extend wiring beyond the Minimum Point of Entry ("MPOE") as determined by the LEC. In all such
cases, Customer will provide any needed internal wiring or extensions (and required conduit, facilities, power, etc.) to the circuit required to
provision service unless Provider has agreed in writing to provide this service to Customer.
Special Construction Charge. When a Customer's location has insufficient facilities needed to support any applicable Service, the underlying
carrier(s) may add facilities that may impose an additional "special construction charge" or other similar charge. If this occurs, Provider will
notify Customer (via phone, email or other means) of the cost of these additional special construction charges, if available and if any, as well as
the estimated time to complete the construction. Customer must agree in writing to pay these additional special construction costs within three
(3) business days. If Customer fails to do so, Provider will cancel the SOF for lack of facilities and the SOF will terminate without liability to
either Customer or Provider.
Miscellaneous Charges. Miscellaneous charges and/or fees imposed by any third party carrier or any underlying provider from time to time,
whether charged to or against Provider, will be payable by Customer, including, without limitation, any cost recovery fee which shall represent
an accurate and non -inflated recovery of the miscellaneous charges and/or fees to or against Provider associated with the provision of Service(s)
by Provider to Customer.
Usage Charges (Applicable to Burstable Dedicated Internet Access Service Only): Additional usage charges stated in any applicable SOF
will be calculated based on Customer's monthly usage, which Provider will calculate as follows: Provider will take usage samples
approximately every five (5) minutes throughout the applicable month and will retain the higher of two (2) samples taken during each
five (5) minute period - one (1) sample that will reflect inbound usage / utilization and one (1) sample that will reflect outbound usage
/ utilization. At the end of the applicable billing period, the samples will be arranged from highest to lowest. Provider will discard the
top five percent (5%) of the samples for the purposes of calculating Customer's monthly usage. Provider will utilize the highest
remaining sample (i.e., the ninety-fifth percentile (95%) peak Mbps port utilization) (the "Mbps Port Utilization") to calculate
Customer's monthly usage. Provider will measure the Mbps Port Utilization to the 100th decimal place, but the invoice will reflect the
Mbps Port Utilization only to the 10th decimal place. Provider will multiply the Mbps Port Utilization by the per -Meg rate listed on any
applicable SOF to calculate any applicable additional usage charges. Provider will charge Customer such additional usage charges as
well as any applicable base rate provided in any applicable SOF.
14. IP Addresses. Customer acknowledges that Provider retains title at all times to the IP addresses assigned to Customer in connection with any
Service. Upon IP address reassignment or expiration, cancellation or termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF,

not constitute a penalty or premium: (a) any amounts due pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF incurred prior to
such termination, (b) any amounts due pursuant to any applicable SOF with respect to any applicable Service, including, without limitation, the
total of any applicable monthly minimum commitments for any Services provided hereunder for the remainder of the applicable Service Term

are without exclusion as to any rights or remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or which may be recognized under controlling
law.
16. Termination by Provider. In addition to any other right that Provider may have to terminate or suspend these Terms and Conditions and/or
any applicable SOF, if Provider determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer's ongoing use of any or all Services, and/or the specific method
or technology utilized by Customer places the network operated by Provider, other customers, partners or the overall business(es) of each in
jeopardy, Provider reserves the right to terminate these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF and Customer's access to any or all
applicable Services immediately and without notification.

(a) It is the mutual desire of the parties to promptly and fully resolve any dispute arising in connection with these Terms and
Conditions and/or any applicable SOF in good faith, confidentially, and informally with minimal transaction costs; no public statement may be

representative, to be a person knowledgeable of the subject matter in dispute and someone with authority to discuss the dispute ("Officers").
The Officers will meet in person or by conference call, together with any persons assisting them, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the

dispute. Should the Officers be unable to resolve the dispute within such fifteen (15) days, or within such additional time as the parties may
otherwise agree to in writing, either party may demand mediation, whereupon the parties will, in good faith, mediate the dispute no later than
thirty (30) days after such demand through the services of a mutually selected mediator, the cost of whom will be borne equally by the parties, at

costs of the arbitration will be borne by the party against whom the award is rendered, except that if the arbitrator issues a split decision,
granting partial relief to both parties, the arbitrator will equitably allocate the arbitrator's fees and other costs. Each party will pay its attorney's
fees related to any dispute related to this Agreement. The arbitration award will be final and binding on both parties of this Agreement, will not
be subject to any appeal and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Tools. Customer agrees that it is fully and exclusively responsible to safeguard, monitor, manage, and maintain access by any Electronic Tools,
and to only allow authorized use of such Electronic Tools to Customer's Administrator(s) or Account Administrator, as the case may be.

These Service Terns and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") apply to the Services (as defined below) described in the Service Order Form

Provider may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time by posting an amended version at www/broadband.com/legal/terms and sending
Customer written notice thereof. Such amendment will be deemed accepted and become effective thirty (30) days after such notice (the "Proposed
Amendment Date") unless Customer first gives Provider written notice of rejection of the amendment. If Customer rejects such amendment, these
Terms and Conditions will continue pursuant to its original provisions and the amendment will become effective at the commencement of the next
Renewal Term (as defined below) following the Proposed Amendment Date. Customer's continued use of the Services following the effective date
of an amendment will confirm Customer's consent thereto.
1. Service Description. Provider will provide Customer with the Services described in the SOF for the Service Term so long as no Default (as
defined below) has occurred. Customer has the sole and exclusive responsibility for the installation, configuration, security (including, without
limitation, firewall security policies, even if Customer uses a third party to configure and implement such measures), and integrity of all
Customer facilities, systems, equipment, proxy servers, software, networks, network configurations and the like (the "CPE") used in
conjunction with or related to the Services provided by Provider, unless Customer obtains such CPE from Provider pursuant to a written
agreement between Customer and Provider and Provider expressly assumes any of such duties in writing.
2. Service Activation Date. The "Service Activation Date" means the date two (2) business days after Provider deems the applicable Services
ready for activation, which customarily will follow Provider's receipt of confirmation from any applicable underlying carrier(s) that the Services
are ready for activation; provided, however, with respect to MPLS Services (as defined below) only (as identified on the SOF), the "Service
Activation Date" means the earlier of (i) the date two (2) business days after Provider deems the Services ready for activation, which
customarily will follow Provider's receipt of confirmation from any applicable underlying carrier(s) that the Services are ready for activation;
and (ii) the date the Service is successfully activated by the underlying carrier and confirmed tested and accepted by Customer and
Provider. Provider will notify Customer (via phone, email or other means) of the Service Activation Date. For clarity, the Service Activation
Date established by Provider will apply regardless of whether Customer has completed all necessary steps to activate the Services.
3. Service Term. The initial Service Term will be as specified in any applicable SOF (the "Initial Service Term"). The Initial Service Term will
automatically extend thereafter upon the same terms and conditions applicable during the Initial Service Term for additional consecutive term(s)
of one (1) year unless earlier terminated pursuant to these Terms and Conditions or unless either party provides notice of nonrenewal to the
other at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Service Term.
4. Service Availability. Provider may from time to time interrupt or otherwise impact Services for routine maintenance. Provider will make
commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer reasonable advance notification (via phone, email or other means) of such maintenance.
Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such maintenance in a manner that will not unreasonably interrupt Services.
Provider normally will perform maintenance between the hours of 11:30 PM and 6:00 AM Eastern. If Provider determines that emergency
maintenance is necessary for any reason, Provider will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer with respect to the anticipated
down -time and/or other information pertinent to the affected Services.
5. Service Support. Provider provides support for the Services only as described at www.broadband.com/legal/sul)" pursuant to any applicable
Service Level Agreement ("SLA") posted at www.broadband.com/legal/SLA. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERM OF THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OR ANY APPLICABLE SLA TO THE CONTRARY, PROVIDER DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY SERVICES BEYOND THE

6. Applicable Only If Customer Leases CPE from Provider: If Customer installation is required, then Customer must install such leased
CPE in accordance with instructions provided by Provider (or its third party vendor). Such CPE must be used solely to utilize Services.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Provider retains title to such CPE at all times and will not remove or modify any marking
indicating Provider's ownership of such CPE. Customer will allow Provider reasonable access to the CPE as required to provide the CPE
and/or any applicable Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such leased CPE may be new or recertified. CPE leased by
Customer from Provider may be covered under a limited warranty provided by any applicable manufacturer or provider, which Provider will
extend to Customer without charge to the extent Provider can do so pursuant to Provider's agreements with any applicable manufacturer or
provider; however, Provider provides no warranty with respect to any such leased CPE (and/or CPE provider service). Customer will reimburse
Provider, on a time and materials basis, for Provider's entire cost to repair and/or replace any such CPE in the event of (a) misuse, (b) failure to
exercise reasonable care, (c) alteration of the original configuration of such CPE by Provider, (d) damage, (e) theft, or (f) disaster. If such CPE

CPE at Customer's premises or ship an equivalent pre -configured replacement to Customer. If Provider ships replacement CPE to Customer at
any time, Customer will return, at Customer's cost and expense, the replaced CPE to Provider not later than ten (10) days immediately after
Customer's receipt of the replacement CPE or pay for such replaced CPE. Customer will not receive any compensation or credit for any

downtime or outages associated with the replacement or repair of any such CPE. Upon expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions
and/or any applicable SOF for any reason, Customer will return, at Customer's cost and expense, to Provider any leased CPE not later than ten
(10) days immediately after the expiration or termination of these Ternis and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Customer is responsible
for all risk of loss and damage to CPE being shipped to Provider pursuant to this Section 6. If Customer fails to return such leased CPE in good

charge Customer (and Customer agrees to pay Provider) the greater of $5,000.00 or the commercial value of such CPE, which amount
represents the agreed -upon value of the CPE. If Customer terminates any applicable lease of any CPE prior to the expiration or termination of
any applicable Service Term, in addition to any amounts otherwise due and payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of such lease, Provider
may charge Customer a restocking fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original purchase price of such leased CPE. Notwithstanding any
terms or conditions of any SLA to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6, Provider does not maintain, support or
manage any CPE, which will be the obligation of Customer solely. Customer is solely responsible for unauthorized access to or use of any
Services by any third -party through CPE, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental, intentional or fraudulent
and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access.
7. Applicable Only If Customer Purchases CPE from Provider: CPE purchased by Customer from Provider may be covered under a limited
warranty provided by any applicable manufacturer or provider, which Provider will extend to Customer without charge to the extent Provider
can do so pursuant to our agreements with any applicable manufacturer or provider; however, Provider provides no warranty with respect to any
such purchased CPE (and/or CPE provider service). All sales of CPE purchased by Customer from Provider are final; provided, however, if

applicable RMA, the affected CPE will be returned to Customer at Customer's sole cost and expense, the sale of such CPE will remain final,
and Provider may charge Customer a restocking fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original purchase price of such CPE. Notwithstanding
any terms or conditions of any SLA to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7, Provider does not maintain,
support or manage any CPE, which will be the obligation of Customer solely. Customer is solely responsible for unauthorized access to or use
of any Services by any third -party through CPE, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental, intentional or
fraudulent and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access.

Services that may be specified in writing as "Managed Network Services" pursuant to any applicable SOF and is a solution in which the Internet

10. Billing and Payment. Unless the terms and conditions of any applicable SOF provide for prepayment to Provider by Customer with respect to
any applicable Service(s), Customer will pay for all Service(s) not later than the date fifteen (15) calendar days immediately after the invoice
date reflected on Provider's invoice ("Due Date"). Provider will bill Customer, and Customer will pay, for Services at the rates stated in any
applicable SOF, including, without limitation, any applicable MRC and/or NRC, as well as any other charges or amounts as described in the
SOF and/or these Terms and Conditions. After any applicable Initial Service Term, Provider may increase any applicable rates, including,
without limitation, any applicable MRC and/or NRC, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to Customer; provided, however, Provider may
at any time pass on to Customer any circuit price increases from any applicable underlying carrier(s) upon at least thirty (30) days written notice
to Customer. Bills and/or charges will include all applicable federal, state, and local taxes; all such taxes, and all use, sales, commercial, gross
receipts, privilege, surcharges, or other similar taxes, license fees, surcharges and miscellaneous fees, including but not limited to regulatory fees
such as Universal Service Fund and including, without limitation, any cost recovery fee which shall represent an accurate and non -inflated
recovery of Provider's, or any underlying provider's, miscellaneous tax, surcharge, and fee payments to federal, state or local governmental
authorities associated with the provision of Services by Provider to Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable
SOF ("Taxes" and "Fees" or together "Taxes and Fees"), whether or not charged to or against Provider, will be payable by Customer.
However, if Customer provides proof of its exempt status for a specific Tax or Fee, Provider will not charge the applicable Tax or Fee due to
such exemption. If applicable, Customer will supply Provider a valid and properly executed tax exemption certificate(s) in the form of an email
(with supporting attachments) sent to customercare(abroadband.com with "Notice of Tax Exempt Status" in the subject line of the email. In
such cases Customer remains responsible for, and agrees to pay, any and all remaining non-exempt Taxes and Fees; tax exemption status
validation is solely the responsibility of Customer and Provider will not be obligated to consider any retroactive tax exemption. In the event of
any Regulatory Activity, Provider reserves the right, at any time with as much advance notice as reasonably possible and without liability, to: (i)
Page 2
BANDWIDTH.COM, INC. - Proprietary & Confidential Information
Terms and Conditions — Updated September 2011
pass through to Customer all, or a portion of, any Taxes and Fees directly or indirectly related to such Regulatory Activity; (ii) modify the
Services, rates (including any applicable rate guarantees), promotions, terms and/or conditions of these Terms and Conditions and/or any
applicable SOF to conform to such Regulatory Activity; and/or (iii) if such Regulatory Activity materially and adversely impairs the provision
of Services pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, as reasonably determined by Provider, terminate these Terms
and Conditions, any applicable SOF and/or the provision of any applicable Services. Provider will commence billing for all MRC and any other
charges pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF on any applicable Service Activation Date. Except as expressly
provided in any applicable SOF, the MRC applicable to any applicable Service for the first and second calendar months immediately following
the applicable Service Activation Date (and any then applicable NRC) will be billed upon the Service Activation Date. If applicable, the MRC
applicable to any applicable Service for the first partial calendar month immediately following the applicable Service Activation Date will be
pro rated and billed accordingly. Thereafter, the applicable MRC for each calendar month (and any applicable NRC) will be billed on or about
the first day of such calendar month. Time is of the essence with respect to any amounts due or payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions
and/or any applicable SOF. After fifteen (15) days of non-payment after the Due Date, all fees will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month or any part thereof, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, and Customer will pay all collection costs incurred
by Provider (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees). If, at any time after any applicable Due Date for any applicable bill,
Customer has failed to make satisfactory payment as determined by Provider, Provider may give Customer written notification (by email or
otherwise), that Customer has committed a Default of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Provider will provide the
"Notification of Default" at least two (2) business days prior to Provider's suspension or termination of any applicable Service for such
Customer. Customer must pay all outstanding amounts payable to Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF
within such two (2) business day period to avoid suspension or termination of any applicable Service. If Provider terminates any applicable
Service for such Customer due to non-payment pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, then, in addition to any
other amounts then due and payable by Customer to Provider, Customer also will be obligated to pay to Provider the fees described in these
Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Upon termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF(s), then
Provider may collect from Customer: (i) all amounts due and payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, including, without limitation, any
document incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions, for Service(s) provided prior to such termination, including, without
limitation, any past due balance at the time of such termination, and/or the remainder of the Service Term; (ii) the total of all minimum
commitments for any Service(s) for the remainder of the Service Term applicable pursuant to any applicable SOF(s); (iii) any early termination
charges, if any, specified in any applicable SOF(s) or any other document or agreement between Customer and Provider; and (iv) if such
termination arises pursuant to any Default, any non -recurring charges previously waived at any time by Provider. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that the damages arising due to the early termination of this Agreement would be difficult to determine and, therefore, for the sake of
efficiency, economy and convenience, any early termination charges constitute liquidated damages and are not intended as a penalty or to be
punitive in nature. Upon the occurrence of a Default (other than for nonpayment as provided above), Provider may immediately suspend or
terminate any applicable Service for such Customer. Provider may, at any time and in its sole discretion: (i) require a security deposit to
continue provisioning any applicable Service to Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, if Customer's
level of approved credit, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion, is deemed insufficient, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion;
(ii) change payment terms, billing cycle, and/or any applicable Due Date(s); (iii) demand immediate payment by wire or other means and
discontinue any applicable Service for Customer without notice to Customer if Customer's level of approved credit, as determined by Provider
in its sole discretion, is deemed insufficient, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion; and/or (iv) immediately block Customer's access to
or use of any applicable Service if a Customer's pre -paid balance is depleted, or Customer otherwise refuses to make any reasonably requested
payments. Provider retains the right to bill, including, without limitation, amend or correct any bill previously issued, for any applicable Service
provided pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, for a period of up to twelve (12) months, commencing from the
date of the provision of any applicable Services to Customer. Provider will retain such billing rights for such twelve (12) month period
notwithstanding any prior billing to Customer for the same period(s) and regardless of any otherwise conflicting billing conditions in these
Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. For the duration of such twelve (12) month period, Provider will not be deemed to have
waived any rights with regard to billing for any applicable Service provided pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF
during such period, nor will any legal or equitable doctrines apply, including estoppel or lathes. Unpaid bills and/or charges maybe sent to
third party collection agencies.
11. Billing Disputes. If Customer disputes any amounts charged to Customer by Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any
applicable SOF, Customer will pay in full all charges billed by any applicable Due Date and thereafter submit written notification, within thirty
(30) calendar days of the date of the disputed charges, in the form of an email sent to customercarena,broadband.com with "Notice of Billing
Dispute" in the subject line of the email. Such email notification must include Customer's complete contact information, the specific dollar
amount in dispute, detailed supporting calculations and reasons for the dispute, and any supporting documentation, if available, in the body of or
attached to, the email. Provider will respond to Customer, in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days immediately after receipt of from
Customer of any such notice of billing dispute. Any dispute resolved in favor of Customer will be credited as appropriate to the next bill
issuable by Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. If Provider determines that any disputed amounts are
correct as billed pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, Provider will notify Customer in writing that the charges
have been deemed valid and legitimate, and the dispute will be considered resolved by both parties; if, for any reason, any amount(s) remain due
from Customer related to such dispute, then all such amounts will be due and payable immediately. Provider reserves the right to deny or delay
any and all billing disputes and/or credits if Customer's account is in arrears or otherwise not in good standing.
12. Resumption of Service. If Customer requests the restoration of any applicable Service to such Customer after a suspension or termination,
Provider has the sole and absolute discretion to restore any applicable Service to such Customer and may condition restoration upon satisfaction
of such conditions as Provider determines necessary, including, without limitation, Customer's execution or delivery of a new agreement,
payment of all past due amounts in full, completion of Provider's credit approval process, and/or the making of advance payments. Additional
NRC also may apply.
Page 3
BANDWIDTH.COM, INC. - Proprietary & Confidential Information
Terms and Conditions — Updated September 2011
13. Additional NRC and Usage Charges.
General. Provider also may invoice Customer for the following NRCs: (i) Changes of IP Addresses: $100.00; (ii) Service Reinstatement /
Resumption Fee: $200.00 (plus any charges imposed by underlying carrier(s) and/or pursuant to Section 12 above); (iii) Missed Appointment
Fee: $200.00; (iv) Rejected Credit Card/Unpaid Check: $40.00 (or legal limit, if lower); (v) Relocation Fee: varies upon address; (vi) Upgrade
Charge: varies upon specific upgrade requested; and (vii) Downgrade Charge: varies upon specific downgrade requested.
Inside Wiring. The availability of inside wiring installation is dependent upon a number of factors, including, without limitation, any applicable
service address and/or LEC availability. Any inside wiring provided by Provider's underlying carrier(s) may incur additional fees to the charges
listed in the SOF. Any request for inside wiring or wiring extension for any applicable Services will be provided on a best -effort basis only. In
many cases, Customer's LEC will not extend wiring beyond the Minimum Point of Entry ("MPOE") as determined by the LEC. In all such
cases, Customer will provide any needed internal wiring or extensions (and required conduit, facilities, power, etc.) to the circuit required to
provision service unless Provider has agreed in writing to provide this service to Customer.
Special Construction Charge. When a Customer's location has insufficient facilities needed to support any applicable Service, the underlying
carrier(s) may add facilities that may impose an additional "special construction charge" or other similar charge. If this occurs, Provider will
notify Customer (via phone, email or other means) of the cost of these additional special construction charges, if available and if any, as well as
the estimated time to complete the construction. Customer must agree in writing to pay these additional special construction costs within three
(3) business days. If Customer fails to do so, Provider will cancel the SOF for lack of facilities and the SOF will terminate without liability to
either Customer or Provider.
Miscellaneous Charges. Miscellaneous charges and/or fees imposed by any third party carrier or any underlying provider from time to time,
whether charged to or against Provider, will be payable by Customer, including, without limitation, any cost recovery fee which shall represent
an accurate and non -inflated recovery of the miscellaneous charges and/or fees to or against Provider associated with the provision of Service(s)
by Provider to Customer.
Usage Charges (Applicable to Burstable Dedicated Internet Access Service Only): Additional usage charges stated in any applicable SOF
will be calculated based on Customer's monthly usage, which Provider will calculate as follows: Provider will take usage samples
approximately every five (5) minutes throughout the applicable month and will retain the higher of two (2) samples taken during each
five (5) minute period - one (1) sample that will reflect inbound usage / utilization and one (1) sample that will reflect outbound usage
/ utilization. At the end of the applicable billing period, the samples will be arranged from highest to lowest. Provider will discard the
top five percent (5%) of the samples for the purposes of calculating Customer's monthly usage. Provider will utilize the highest
remaining sample (i.e., the ninety-fifth percentile (95%) peak Mbps port utilization) (the "Mbps Port Utilization") to calculate
Customer's monthly usage. Provider will measure the Mbps Port Utilization to the 100th decimal place, but the invoice will reflect the
Mbps Port Utilization only to the loth decimal place. Provider will multiply the Mbps Port Utilization by the per -Meg rate listed on any
applicable SOF to calculate any applicable additional usage charges. Provider will charge Customer such additional usage charges as
well as any applicable base rate provided in any applicable SOF.
14. IP Addresses. Customer acknowledges that Provider retains title at all times to the IP addresses assigned to Customer in connection with any
Service. Upon IP address reassignment or expiration, cancellation or termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF,
Customer will relinquish any IP addresses or address blocks assigned to Customer by Provider or its underlying carrier(s) and will perform all
acts reasonably requested by Provider to return to Provider full use of such IP addresses and address blocks.
15. Default. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Provider may, in addition to delivering an Escalation Notice pursuant to Section 19(a) below: (i)
suspend Provider's performance of any or all Services without liability or further obligation immediately; (ii) terminate any or all SOF(s)
without liability or further obligation immediately upon written notification of termination to Customer; and/or (iii) terminate these Terms and
Conditions and/or any applicable SOF without liability or further obligation immediately upon written notification of termination to Customer.
Upon the occurrence of a Default, the following fees will apply, which Customer acknowledges and agrees are customary and reasonable and do
not constitute a penalty or premium: (a) any amounts due pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF incurred prior to
such termination, (b) any amounts due pursuant to any applicable SOF with respect to any applicable Service, including, without limitation, the
total of any applicable monthly minimum commitments for any Services provided hereunder for the remainder of the applicable Service Term
and any other fees included in any applicable SOF, and (c) any NRC previously waived by Provider. All remedies expressed in this Agreement
are without exclusion as to any rights or remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or which may be recognized under controlling
law.
16. Termination by Provider. In addition to any other right that Provider may have to terminate or suspend these Terms and Conditions and/or
any applicable SOF, if Provider determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer's ongoing use of any or all Services, and/or the specific method
or technology utilized by Customer places the network operated by Provider, other customers, partners or the overall business(es) of each in
jeopardy, Provider reserves the right to terminate these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF and Customer's access to any or all
applicable Services immediately and without notification.
17. Acceptable Use Policy. All use of any Services must comply with Provider's Acceptable Use Policy, which is posted at

19. Dispute Resolution Process and Applicable Law.
(a) It is the mutual desire of the parties to promptly and fully resolve any dispute arising in connection with these Terms and
Conditions and/or any applicable SOF in good faith, confidentially, and informally with minimal transaction costs; no public statement may be
made by any party regarding any such dispute. If either parry determines that the dispute cannot be resolved informally, then such party will
initiate an escalation process by giving written notice ("Escalation Notice") to the other party. Each party will name one executive as its
representative, to be a person knowledgeable of the subject matter in dispute and someone with authority to discuss the dispute ("Officers").
The Officers will meet in person or by conference call, together with any persons assisting them, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the
Escalation Notice. All negotiations conducted by the Officers are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for
purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any state rules of evidence. The Officers will conduct such additional meetings as they deem
necessary to exchange relevant information, will appoint staff to engage in resolution of any disputed facts, and will attempt to resolve the
dispute. Should the Officers be unable to resolve the dispute within such fifteen (15) days, or within such additional time as the parties may
otherwise agree to in writing, either party may demand mediation, whereupon the parties will, in good faith, mediate the dispute no later than
thirty (30) days after such demand through the services of a mutually selected mediator, the cost of whom will be borne equally by the parties, at
a date and location selected by the mediator after consultation with the parties. IF THE DISPUTE IS NOT RESOLVED AFTER APPLYING
THE ESCALATION PROCEDURES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE
TO SUBMIT ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS AND MATTERS OF DIFFERENCE TO ARBITRATION ACCORDING TO THE
COMMERCIAL RULES AND PRACTICES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA"). Arbitration hereunder will
occur within sixty (60) days of the date of submission before a single neutral arbitrator having significant experience in the subject matter of this
Agreement and who will selected in accordance with AAA rules. Arbitration proceedings will take place in Wake County, North Carolina.
Discovery will be permitted, including the use of interrogatories, requests for admission and production of documents and depositions. If the
amount claimed to be in dispute is less than $500,000, all applicable expedited procedures of the AAA will apply. The arbitrator's fees and
costs of the arbitration will be borne by the party against whom the award is rendered, except that if the arbitrator issues a split decision,
granting partial relief to both parties, the arbitrator will equitably allocate the arbitrator's fees and other costs. Each party will pay its attorney's
fees related to any dispute related to this Agreement. The arbitration award will be final and binding on both parties of this Agreement, will not
be subject to any appeal and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, WILL BE
CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A
MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CUSTOMER WILL NOT BE A CLASS

is fully and exclusively responsible for all information accuracy, charges, costs, transactions, and activities conducted through such Electronic
Tools. Customer agrees that it is fully and exclusively responsible to safeguard, monitor, manage, and maintain access by any Electronic Tools,
and to only allow authorized use of such Electronic Tools to Customer's Administrator(s) or Account Administrator, as the case may be.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda ItemNo. COV-324-2019
Submitted by: Michelle Tolmasoff
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: August 6, 2019
SUBJECT
A Resolution Approving and Authorizing the Execution of a Service Level Performance Agreement for Upstream
Internet Access Services with Broadband, LLC, and Repealing All Resolutions in Conflict Therewith
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action in this staff report is exempt under the California Environmental Quality
Act ("CEQA'), because it is a governmental administrative activity that will not have any effect on the environment and
is therefore not a `project'' as that term is defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Adopt a Resolution approving and authorizing the execution of a Service Level Performance Agreement for
Upstream Internet Access Services with Broadband, LLC, and Repealing All Resolutions in Conflict Therewith.
Background:
The Public Utilities Department's ("VPU') Fiber Optics based Internet Access Service receives dedicated wholesale
internet circuits from two upstream service providers. Contracting with two source providers affords VPU the
redundancy necessary for the reliable delivery of commercial internet access services to residents and businesses in
Vernon using VPU's fiber optic network distribution infrastructure. The redundant circuits ensure system reliability and
customer service up -time.
VPU is currently connected to the Broadband LLC ('Broadband') network. Historically, Broadband's service delivery
has met VPU's Internet Access Services reliability requirements in a responsible manner. On January 15, 2019, City
Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-02 which approved and authorized a Service Level Performance Agreement for
Upstream Internet Access Services with Broadband ("Agreement'). Due to the recent changes in City staffing, the
Agreement was executed, but the upgrade was not activated as the final electronic approval was sent to VPU staff no
longer at the City. At this time, the service order for the upgrade was placed on hold while staff explored the best
upgrade option to meet current and future City needs. After a thorough assessment of the proposed upgrade to 500
Mbps and the City's Fiber Optic system, staff concluded it would be most beneficial for the City and its customer base
to opt out of the service upgrade of 500 Mbps and upgrade to a greater service capacity of 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) as it
would look to obtain the same Level upgrade with its other upstream service provider. The recommended upgrade will
provide a higher quality of service and speed options for VPU's users in addition to providing the ability to market and
sustain future growth. With the increase in bandwidth, VPU will look to update its current offerings and service
packages for its customers and re -design the distribution system in order to grow and be able to service more
customers.
The agreement with Broadband is exempt from both the competitive bidding and competitive selection requirements
pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code § 2.17.12(A)(6) and 2.17.12(B)(1) because this is a contract for the acquisition or
transmission of telecommunications for the Public Utilities Department and it would be commercially unreasonable to
procure these services through standard bidding or the request for proposal procedure.
AGENDA APPROVED ITEM
08/06/19, SD
Currently, VPU procures a month -to -month service from Broadband which offers a bandwidth of 200 Mbps for a
monthly charge of $4,250 (tax included). Broadband has provided an updated quote for the 1,000 Mbps upgrade with
anew monthly charge of $4,139 (tax included). It is in the best interest of the City to repeal Resolution No. 2019-02
and commit to a new three-year term Agreement with Broadband for an upgrade that will grant VPU five times the
amount of bandwidth for a lesser monthly cost, an amount not -to -exceed $157,550 over the term of the Agreement. As
a part of this Agreement, staff will be able to establish firm monthly rates that are not subject to increases throughout the
entire term of thirty-six (36) months, thereby ensuring that VPU is not only capable of providing valuable and reliable
internet service to its residents and business customers, but is also able to manage this expenditure as a fixed cost for a
longer term. The cost savings will benefit the rate structure ultimately affecting customers.
Broadband has provided a Service Order Form, Terms and Conditions, and Addendum, which the City Attorney's
office has reviewed and approved as to form.
Fiscal Impact:
The not -to -exceed amount of $157,550, includes the 36-month service commitment with Broadband, estimated taxes,
and the additional funds to pay two (2) months of charges at the current rate until the upgrade is completed. This
expense has been included in VPU's proposed budget for the Fiber Optic Division for fiscal year 2019-2020 and will
be budgeted accordingly in subsequent years. If approved, the expense will be charged to account 057.1057.500173.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Service Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") apply to the Services (as defined below) described in the Service Order Form
("SOF") by and between Bandwidth.com, Inc. ("Provider") and the customer named in the SOF ("Customer").
Provider may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time by posting an amended version at www/broadband.com/legaVterms and sending
Customer written notice thereof. Such amendment will be deemed accepted and become effective thirty (30) days after such notice (the "Proposed
Amendment Date") unless Customer first gives Provider written notice of rejection of the amendment. If Customer rejects such amendment, these
Terms and Conditions will continue pursuant to its original provisions and the amendment will become effective at the commencement of the next
Renewal Term (as defined below) following the Proposed Amendment Date. Customer's continued use of the Services following the effective date
of an amendment will confirm Customer's consent thereto.
1. Service Description. Provider will provide Customer with the Services described in the SOF for the Service Term so long as no Default (as
defined below) has occurred. Customer has the sole and exclusive responsibility for the installation, configuration, security (including, without
limitation, firewall security policies, even if Customer uses a third party to configure and implement such measures), and integrity of all
Customer facilities, systems, equipment, proxy servers, software, networks, network configurations and the like (the "CPE") used in
conjunction with or related to the Services provided by Provider, unless Customer obtains such CPE from Provider pursuant to a written
agreement between Customer and Provider and Provider expressly assumes any of such duties in writing.
2. Service Activation Date. The "Service Activation Date" means the date two (2) business days after Provider deems the applicable Services
ready for activation, which customarily will follow Provider's receipt of confirmation from any applicable underlying carrier(s) that the Services
are ready for activation; provided, however, with respect to MPLS Services (as defined below) only (as identified on the SOF), the "Service
Activation Date" means the earlier of (i) the date two (2) business days after Provider deems the Services ready for activation, which
customarily will follow Provider's receipt of confirmation from any applicable underlying carrier(s) that the Services are ready for activation;
and (ii) the date the Service is successfully activated by the underlying carrier and confirmed tested and accepted by Customer and
Provider. Provider will notify Customer (via phone, email or other means) of the Service Activation Date. For clarity, the Service Activation
Date established by Provider will apply regardless of whether Customer has completed all necessary steps to activate the Services.
3. Service Term. The initial Service Term will be as specified in any applicable SOF (the "Initial Service Term"). The Initial Service Term will
automatically extend thereafter upon the same terms and conditions applicable during the Initial Service Term for additional consecutive term(s)
of one (1) year unless earlier terminated pursuant to these Terms and Conditions or unless either party provides notice of nonrenewal to the
other at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Service Term.
4. Service Availability. Provider may from time to time interrupt or otherwise impact Services for routine maintenance. Provider will make
commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer reasonable advance notification (via phone, email or other means) of such maintenance.
Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such maintenance in a manner that will not unreasonably interrupt Services.
Provider normally will perform maintenance between the hours of 11:30 PM and 6:00 AM Eastern. If Provider determines that emergency
maintenance is necessary for any reason, Provider will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer with respect to the anticipated
down -time and/or other information pertinent to the affected Services.
5. Service Support. Provider provides support for the Services only as described at www.broadband.com/leital/sut)vort pursuant to any applicable
Service Level Agreement ("SLA") posted at www.broadband.com/le ag l/SLA. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERM OF THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OR ANY APPLICABLE SLA TO THE CONTRARY, PROVIDER DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY SERVICES BEYOND THE
PROVIDER POINT OF DEMARCATION, DEFINED AT WWW.BROADBAND.COM/LEGAL/SUPPORT.
6. Applicable Only If Customer Leases CPE from Provider: If Customer installation is required, then Customer must install such leased
CPE in accordance with instructions provided by Provider (or its third party vendor). Such CPE must be used solely to utilize Services.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Provider retains title to such CPE at all times and will not remove or modify any marking
indicating Provider's ownership of such CPE. Customer will allow Provider reasonable access to the CPE as required to provide the CPE
and/or any applicable Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any such leased CPE may be new or recertified. CPE leased by
Customer from Provider may be covered under a limited warranty provided by any applicable manufacturer or provider, which Provider will
extend to Customer without charge to the extent Provider can do so pursuant to Provider's agreements with any applicable manufacturer or
provider; however, Provider provides no warranty with respect to any such leased CPE (and/or CPE provider service). Customer will reimburse
Provider, on a time and materials basis, for Provider's entire cost to repair and/or replace any such CPE in the event of (a) misuse, (b) failure to

any time, Customer will return, at Customer's cost and expense, the replaced CPE to Provider not later than ten (10) days immediately after
Customer's receipt of the replacement CPE or pay for such replaced CPE. Customer will not receive any compensation or credit for any

charge Customer (and Customer agrees to pay Provider) the greater of $5,000.00 or the commercial value of such CPE, which amount
represents the agreed -upon value of the CPE. If Customer terminates any applicable lease of any CPE prior to the expiration or termination of
any applicable Service Term, in addition to any amounts otherwise due and payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of such lease, Provider
may charge Customer a restocking fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original purchase price of such leased CPE. Notwithstanding any
terms or conditions of any SLA to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6, Provider does not maintain, support or
manage any CPE, which will be the obligation of Customer solely. Customer is solely responsible for unauthorized access to or use of any
Services by any third -party through CPE, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental, intentional or fraudulent
and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access.
7. Applicable Only If Customer Purchases CPE from Provider: CPE purchased by Customer from Provider may be covered under a limited
warranty provided by any applicable manufacturer or provider, which Provider will extend to Customer without charge to the extent Provider

applicable RMA, the affected CPE will be returned to Customer at Customer's sole cost and expense, the sale of such CPE will remain final,
and Provider may charge Customer a restocking fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original purchase price of such CPE. Notwithstanding
any terms or conditions of any SLA to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7, Provider does not maintain,
support or manage any CPE, which will be the obligation of Customer solely. Customer is solely responsible for unauthorized access to or use
of any Services by any third -party through CPE, regardless of whether such unauthorized access is unintentional, accidental, intentional or
fraudulent and regardless of whether Customer had knowledge of such unauthorized access.

Services that may be specified in writing as "Managed Network Services" pursuant to any applicable SOF and is a solution in which the Internet

10. Billing and Payment. Unless the terms and conditions of any applicable SOF provide for prepayment to Provider by Customer with respect to
any applicable Service(s), Customer will pay for all Service(s) not later than the date fifteen (15) calendar days immediately after the invoice
date reflected on Provider's invoice ("Due Date"). Provider will bill Customer, and Customer will pay, for Services at the rates stated in any
applicable SOF, including, without limitation, any applicable MRC and/or NRC, as well as any other charges or amounts as described in the
SOF and/or these Terms and Conditions. After any applicable Initial Service Term, Provider may increase any applicable rates, including,
without limitation, any applicable MRC and/or NRC, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to Customer; provided, however, Provider may
at any time pass on to Customer any circuit price increases from any applicable underlying carrier(s) upon at least thirty (30) days written notice
to Customer. Bills and/or charges will include all applicable federal, state, and local taxes; all such taxes, and all use, sales, commercial, gross
receipts, privilege, surcharges, or other similar taxes, license fees, surcharges and miscellaneous fees, including but not limited to regulatory fees
such as Universal Service Fund and including, without limitation, any cost recovery fee which shall represent an accurate and non -inflated
recovery of Provider's, or any underlying provider's, miscellaneous tax, surcharge, and fee payments to federal, state or local governmental
authorities associated with the provision of Services by Provider to Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable
SOF ("Taxes" and "Fees" or together "Taxes and Fees"), whether or not charged to or against Provider, will be payable by Customer.
However, if Customer provides proof of its exempt status for a specific Tax or Fee, Provider will not charge the applicable Tax or Fee due to
such exemption. If applicable, Customer will supply Provider a valid and properly executed tax exemption certificate(s) in the form of an email
(with supporting attachments) sent to customercare(-broadband.com with "Notice of Tax Exempt Status" in the subject line of the email. In
such cases Customer remains responsible for, and agrees to pay, any and all remaining non-exempt Taxes and Fees; tax exemption status
validation is solely the responsibility of Customer and Provider will not be obligated to consider any retroactive tax exemption. In the event of
any Regulatory Activity, Provider reserves the right, at any time with as much advance notice as reasonably possible and without liability, to: (i)

pass through to Customer all, or a portion of, any Taxes and Fees directly or indirectly related to such Regulatory Activity; (ii) modify the
Services, rates (including any applicable rate guarantees), promotions, terms and/or conditions of these Terms and Conditions and/or any
applicable SOF to conform to such Regulatory Activity; and/or (iii) if such Regulatory Activity materially and adversely impairs the provision
of Services pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, as reasonably determined by Provider, terminate these Terms
and Conditions, any applicable SOF and/or the provision of any applicable Services. Provider will commence billing for all MRC and any other
charges pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF on any applicable Service Activation Date. Except as expressly
provided in any applicable SOF, the MRC applicable to any applicable Service for the first and second calendar months immediately following
the applicable Service Activation Date (and any then applicable NRC) will be billed upon the Service Activation Date. If applicable, the MRC
applicable to any applicable Service for the first partial calendar month immediately following the applicable Service Activation Date will be
pro rated and billed accordingly. Thereafter, the applicable MRC for each calendar month (and any applicable NRC) will be billed on or about
the first day of such calendar month. Time is of the essence with respect to any amounts due or payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions
and/or any applicable SOF. After fifteen (15) days of non-payment after the Due Date, all fees will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month or any part thereof, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, and Customer will pay all collection costs incurred
by Provider (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees). If, at any time after any applicable Due Date for any applicable bill,
Customer has failed to make satisfactory payment as determined by Provider, Provider may give Customer written notification (by email or
otherwise), that Customer has committed a Default of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Provider will provide the
"Notification of Default" at least two (2) business days prior to Provider's suspension or termination of any applicable Service for such
Customer. Customer must pay all outstanding amounts payable to Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF
within such two (2) business day period to avoid suspension or termination of any applicable Service. If Provider terminates any applicable
Service for such Customer due to non-payment pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, then, in addition to any
other amounts then due and payable by Customer to Provider, Customer also will be obligated to pay to Provider the fees described in these
Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. Upon termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF(s), then
Provider may collect from Customer: (i) all amounts due and payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, including, without limitation, any
document incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions, for Service(s) provided prior to such termination, including, without
limitation, any past due balance at the time of such termination, and/or the remainder of the Service Term; (ii) the total of all minimum
commitments for any Service(s) for the remainder of the Service Term applicable pursuant to any applicable SOF(s); (iii) any early termination
charges, if any, specified in any applicable SOF(s) or any other document or agreement between Customer and Provider; and (iv) if such
termination arises pursuant to any Default, any non -recurring charges previously waived at any time by Provider. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that the damages arising due to the early termination of this Agreement would be difficult to determine and, therefore, for the sake of
efficiency, economy and convenience, any early termination charges constitute liquidated damages and are not intended as a penalty or to be
punitive in nature. Upon the occurrence of a Default (other than for nonpayment as provided above), Provider may immediately suspend or
terminate any applicable Service for such Customer. Provider may, at any time and in its sole discretion: (i) require a security deposit to
continue provisioning any applicable Service to Customer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, if Customer's
level of approved credit, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion, is deemed insufficient, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion;
(ii) change payment terms, billing cycle, and/or any applicable Due Date(s); (iii) demand immediate payment by wire or other means and
discontinue any applicable Service for Customer without notice to Customer if Customer's level of approved credit, as determined by Provider
in its sole discretion, is deemed insufficient, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion; and/or (iv) immediately block Customer's access to
or use of any applicable Service if a Customer's pre -paid balance is depleted, or Customer otherwise refuses to make any reasonably requested
payments. Provider retains the right to bill, including, without limitation, amend or correct any bill previously issued, for any applicable Service
provided pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, for a period of up to twelve (12) months, commencing from the
date of the provision of any applicable Services to Customer. Provider will retain such billing rights for such twelve (12) month period
notwithstanding any prior billing to Customer for the same period(s) and regardless of any otherwise conflicting billing conditions in these
Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. For the duration of such twelve (12) month period, Provider will not be deemed to have
waived any rights with regard to billing for any applicable Service provided pursuant to these Terns and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF
during such period, nor will any legal or equitable doctrines apply, including estoppel or laches. Unpaid bills and/or charges may be sent to
third party collection agencies.
11. Billing Disputes. If Customer disputes any amounts charged to Customer by Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any
applicable SOF, Customer will pay in full all charges billed by any applicable Due Date and thereafter submit written notification, within thirty
(30) calendar days of the date of the disputed charges, in the form of an email sent to customercare(a),broadband.com with "Notice of Billing
Dispute" in the subject line of the email. Such email notification must include Customer's complete contact information, the specific dollar
amount in dispute, detailed supporting calculations and reasons for the dispute, and any supporting documentation, if available, in the body of or
attached to, the email. Provider will respond to Customer, in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days immediately after receipt of from
Customer of any such notice of billing dispute. Any dispute resolved in favor of Customer will be credited as appropriate to the next bill
issuable by Provider pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF. If Provider determines that any disputed amounts are
correct as billed pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, Provider will notify Customer in writing that the charges
have been deemed valid and legitimate, and the dispute will be considered resolved by both parties; if, for any reason, any amount(s) remain due
from Customer related to such dispute, then all such amounts will be due and payable immediately. Provider reserves the right to deny or delay
any and all billing disputes and/or credits if Customer's account is in arrears or otherwise not in good standing.
12. Resumption of Service. If Customer requests the restoration of any applicable Service to such Customer after a suspension or termination,
Provider has the sole and absolute discretion to restore any applicable Service to such Customer and may condition restoration upon satisfaction
of such conditions as Provider determines necessary, including, without limitation, Customer's execution or delivery of a new agreement,
payment of all past due amounts in full, completion of Provider's credit approval process, and/or the making of advance payments. Additional
NRC also may apply.

13. Additional NRC and Usage Charges.
General. Provider also may invoice Customer for the following NRCs: (i) Changes of IP Addresses: $100.00; (ii) Service Reinstatement /
Resumption Fee: $200.00 (plus any charges imposed by underlying carrier(s) and/or pursuant to Section 12 above); (iii) Missed Appointment
Fee: $200.00; (iv) Rejected Credit Card/Unpaid Check: $40.00 (or legal limit, if lower); (v) Relocation Fee: varies upon address; (vi) Upgrade
Charge: varies upon specific upgrade requested; and (vii) Downgrade Charge: varies upon specific downgrade requested.
Inside Wiring. The availability of inside wiring installation is dependent upon a number of factors, including, without limitation, any applicable
service address and/or LEC availability. Any inside wiring provided by Provider's underlying carrier(s) may incur additional fees to the charges
listed in the SOF. Any request for inside wiring or wiring extension for any applicable Services will be provided on a best -effort basis only. In
many cases, Customer's LEC will not extend wiring beyond the Minimum Point of Entry ("MPOE") as determined by the LEC. In all such
cases, Customer will provide any needed internal wiring or extensions (and required conduit, facilities, power, etc.) to the circuit required to
provision service unless Provider has agreed in writing to provide this service to Customer.
Special Construction Charge. When a Customer's location has insufficient facilities needed to support any applicable Service, the underlying
carrier(s) may add facilities that may impose an additional "special construction charge" or other similar charge. If this occurs, Provider will
notify Customer (via phone, email or other means) of the cost of these additional special construction charges, if available and if any, as well as
the estimated time to complete the construction. Customer must agree in writing to pay these additional special construction costs within three
(3) business days. If Customer fails to do so, Provider will cancel the SOF for lack of facilities and the SOF will terminate without liability to
either Customer or Provider.
Miscellaneous Charges. Miscellaneous charges and/or fees imposed by any third party carrier or any underlying provider from time to time,
whether charged to or against Provider, will be payable by Customer, including, without limitation, any cost recovery fee which shall represent
an accurate and non -inflated recovery of the miscellaneous charges and/or fees to or against Provider associated with the provision of Service(s)
by Provider to Customer.
Usage Charges (Applicable to Burstable Dedicated Internet Access Service Onlyl: Additional usage charges stated in any applicable SOF
will be calculated based on Customer's monthly usage, which Provider will calculate as follows: Provider will take usage samples
approximately every five (5) minutes throughout the applicable month and will retain the higher of two (2) samples taken during each
five (5) minute period - one (1) sample that will reflect inbound usage / utilization and one (1) sample that will reflect outbound usage
/ utilization. At the end of the applicable billing period, the samples will be arranged from highest to lowest. Provider will discard the
top five percent (5%) of the samples for the purposes of calculating Customer's monthly usage. Provider will utilize the highest
remaining sample (i.e., the ninety-fifth percentile (95%) peak Mbps port utilization) (the "Mbps Port Utilization") to calculate
Customer's monthly usage. Provider will measure the Mbps Port Utilization to the 100th decimal place, but the invoice will reflect the
Mbps Port Utilization only to the 101h decimal place. Provider will multiply the Mbps Port Utilization by the per -Meg rate listed on any
applicable SOF to calculate any applicable additional usage charges. Provider will charge Customer such additional usage charges as
well as any applicable base rate provided in any applicable SOF.
14. IP Addresses. Customer acknowledges that Provider retains title at all times to the IP addresses assigned to Customer in connection with any
Service. Upon IP address reassignment or expiration, cancellation or termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF,
Customer will relinquish any IP addresses or address blocks assigned to Customer by Provider or its underlying carrier(s) and will perform all
acts reasonably requested by Provider to return to Provider full use of such IP addresses and address blocks.
15. Default. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Provider may, in addition to delivering an Escalation Notice pursuant to Section 19(a) below: (i)
suspend Provider's performance of any or all Services without liability or further obligation immediately; (ii) terminate any or all SOF(s)
without liability or further obligation immediately upon written notification of termination to Customer; and/or (iii) terminate these Terms and
Conditions and/or any applicable SOF without liability or further obligation immediately upon written notification of termination to Customer.
Upon the occurrence of a Default, the following fees will apply, which Customer acknowledges and agrees are customary and reasonable and do
not constitute a penalty or premium: (a) any amounts due pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF incurred prior to
such termination, (b) any amounts due pursuant to any applicable SOF with respect to any applicable Service, including, without limitation, the
total of any applicable monthly minimum commitments for any Services provided hereunder for the remainder of the applicable Service Term
and any other fees included in any applicable SOF, and (c) any NRC previously waived by Provider. All remedies expressed in this Agreement
are without exclusion as to any rights or remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or which may be recognized under controlling
law.
16. Termination by Provider. In addition to any other right that Provider may have to terminate or suspend these Terms and Conditions and/or
any applicable SOF, if Provider determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer's ongoing use of any or all Services, and/or the specific method
or technology utilized by Customer places the network operated by Provider, other customers, partners or the overall business(es) of each in
jeopardy, Provider reserves the right to terminate these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF and Customer's access to any or all
applicable Services immediately and without notification.
17. Acceptable Use Policy. All use of any Services must comply with Provider's Acceptable Use Policy, which is posted at
www.broadband.com/legal/AUP, and is incorporated herein by reference. By using any Services, Customer agrees to comply with the AUP, as

posting of the modified AUP at www.broadband.com/legal/AUP. Violation of the AUP by Customer will constitute a Default pursuant to this
Agreement.
18. License; Intellectual Property.
(a) Subject to Customer's compliance with these Terms and Conditions and/or any applicable SOF, Provider grants Customer a non-
exclusive, non -transferable license to use any Electronic Tools provided by Provider from time to time solely in connection with Customer's use

or otherwise. Provider will retain sole ownership of any such suggestions, comments and/or other feedback and Customer will not provide any
such suggestions, comments and/or other feedback subject to any terms that would impose any obligation on Provider or any of its customers or
partners.
19. Dispute Resolution Process and Applicable Law.
(a) It is the mutual desire of the parties to promptly and fully resolve any dispute arising in connection with these Terms and
Conditions and/or any applicable SOF in good faith, confidentially, and informally with minimal transaction costs; no public statement may be
made by any party regarding any such dispute. If either party determines that the dispute cannot be resolved informally, then such party will
initiate an escalation process by giving written notice ("Escalation Notice") to the other party. Each party will name one executive as its
representative, to be a person knowledgeable of the subject matter in dispute and someone with authority to discuss the dispute ("Officers").
The Officers will meet in person or by conference call, together with any persons assisting them, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the
Escalation Notice. All negotiations conducted by the Officers are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for
purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any state rules of evidence. The Officers will conduct such additional meetings as they deem
necessary to exchange relevant information, will appoint staff to engage in resolution of any disputed facts, and will attempt to resolve the
dispute. Should the Officers be unable to resolve the dispute within such fifteen (15) days, or within such additional time as the parties may
otherwise agree to in writing, either party may demand mediation, whereupon the parties will, in good faith, mediate the dispute no later than
thirty (30) days after such demand through the services of a mutually selected mediator, the cost of whom will be borne equally by the parties, at
a date and location selected by the mediator after consultation with the parties. IF THE DISPUTE IS NOT RESOLVED AFTER APPLYING
THE ESCALATION PROCEDURES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE
TO SUBMIT ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS AND MATTERS OF DIFFERENCE TO ARBITRATION ACCORDING TO THE
COMMERCIAL RULES AND PRACTICES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA"). Arbitration hereunder will
occur within sixty (60) days of the date of submission before a single neutral arbitrator having significant experience in the subject matter of this
Agreement and who will selected in accordance with AAA rules. Arbitration proceedings will take place in Wake County, North Carolina.
Discovery will be permitted, including the use of interrogatories, requests for admission and production of documents and depositions. If the
