1. Service. Syringa Networks will provide, and Customer will receive, the Service or
Services as set forth in an Exhibit A and such subsequent Exhibit A as the Parties may
mutually agree. Syringa Networks shall not be required to provide any Service for which it
has not received a signed Exhibit A and signed billing information schedule from Customer.
Syringa Networks will be deemed to have accepted such Exhibit A at such time as Syringa
Networks signs the Exhibit A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Exhibit A not signed by
Syringa Networks will be deemed valid and binding upon the Parties upon commencement
and acceptance of the Services ordered pursuant to such Exhibit A.
2. Availability of Facilities.
(a) Service is offered and furnished subject to the availability of all necessary
facilities, including those acquired by Syringa Networks from or through third parties.
Service where one or more of the locations at which Service is provided is not served
directly by Syringa Networks' Network, may require that a portion of Service be furnished
by a third-party service provider. When Syringa Networks provides a portion of Service
furnished by a third-party, the terms, conditions and pricing is done on an individual case
basis ("ICB") and will be subject to the requirements of the underlying service provider for
that part of the Service it provides. Syringa Networks may limit or allocate Service, if
necessary, due to facilities availability, taking into account Syringa Networks' then-current
and projected capacity and the reasonable expectations of its existing and future
customers.
(b) Except as expressly provided otherwise in an Exhibit or Service Order,
Syringa Networks, following the provision of reasonable notice to Customer, may: (1) alter
the methods, processes or suppliers by or through which it provides Service; (2)
discontinue furnishing a feature or supporting an application associated with Service; (3)
change the facilities used to provide Service; or(4) substitute comparable Service for that
being furnished to Customer.
(c) Except as expressly provided otherwise in an Exhibit or Service Order, the
facilities used to provide Service will be of Syringa Networks' exclusive choosing. In no
event will title to those facilities vest in Customer or any other individual or entity.
3. Equipment and Access to Premises.
(a) Syringa Networks will own and control all Syringa Networks equipment
necessary to provide the Service, which will remain Syringa Networks' personal property
regardless of where located or attached ("Syringa Networks Equipment"). Syringa
Networks may upgrade, replace or remove Syringa Networks Equipment, regardless of
where located, so long as the Services continue in effect as set forth herein. Customer
may not alter, move or disconnect Syringa Networks Equipment and is responsible for any
damage to, or loss of, Syringa Networks Equipment caused by Customer's breach of this
provision or as the result of Customer's negligence or willful misconduct. Syringa Networks
has no obligation to install, maintain or repair any equipment owned or provided by
Customer, unless otherwise agreed to in a writing executed by the Parties. If Customer's
equipment is incompatible with the Service, Customer is responsible for any special
interface equipment or facilities necessary to achieve compatibility. Syringa Networks shall
not be liable for any failure to provide or maintain any Service if such failure is the result
of a lack of access rights as required hereunder.
(b) Syringa Networks may require access to Customer's premises to provision,
install, inspect, maintain and repair the Services and the Syringa Networks Equipment.
Customer must provide Syringa Networks with a contact and/or help desk number that
can be reached at all times. Customer must also provide reasonable access rights and/or
rights of way from third parties, space, power and environmental conditioning as may be
required for installation and maintenance of the Syringa Networks Equipment at
Customer's premises.
(c) If Customer intends to connect the Services to facilities that it does not own,
it must provide Syringa Networks with and maintain (for the Service Term) a current letter
of authorization and carrier facility assignment, as applicable.
(d) If Customer requests that Syringa Networks perform work associated with
Customer's side of the Point of Demarcation, such as demarcation extensions, preparation
of Customer's premises, testing of Customer's equipment or facilities, inside wiring and/or
maintenance work on Customer's equipment, facilities or wiring, and Syringa Networks
agrees to perform such work, Customer shall be responsible for paying Syringa Networks
a time and materials charge associated with performance of the work.
4. Delays; Non-performance. Syringa Networks will not be liable to Customer or
others with respect to any: (a) delay in meeting a Service Request Date; or (b) inability to
provide Service after the Start of Service Date, except to the extent set forth in this
Agreement.
5. Customer Information. Customer must provide all information necessary to
provision Service, and/or such other information reasonably requested by Syringa
Networks relating, among other things, to Customer's application or use of Service.
ARTICLE 3 - BILLING; PAYMENT; FINANCIAL STANDING
1. Billing. Monthly recurring charges are billed in advance; usage charges are billed
in arrears; and non-recurring charges may be billed in advance or in arrears, as agreed in
any Service Order. If Service is made available on a day other than the first day of a
monthly billing period, or if Service is discontinued on a day other than the last day of a
monthly billing period, monthly recurring charges will be prorated for the monthly billing
period.
2. Customer Payment Obligation. Except as provided in Section 3.5 with respect
to disputed amounts or as set forth on any Exhibit, Customer must pay all invoiced charges
for Service without deduction or setoff within thirty (30) days of the date of an invoice
("Payment Period"). Unless otherwise permitted by Syringa Networks, payment must be
made by check or wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided by Syringa
Networks. If payment is made by check any restrictive endorsements or statements placed
on checks will not be binding on Syringa Networks.
3. Late Payments.
(a) Customer may be required to reimburse Syringa Networks for all
reasonable costs incurred in connection with collection activities, including attorneys' fees
and court costs.
(b) Default Payments. In addition to the default interest set forth above, if
Customer defaults in the payment of any sum due hereunder, Customer shall pay to
Syringa Networks a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs Syringa Networks will incur by reason of late payment of Customer. Acceptance
of such late charge by Syringa Networks shall in no event constitute a waiver of
Customer's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Syringa Networks
from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
(c) Order of Application of Payments. All payments hereunder shall be applied
first to fees, charges, including late charges, attorney's fees and costs, if any, then to
interest and then to principal (with the oldest outstanding principal amounts being the first
to be paid).
4. Customer Financial Standing. Upon a good faith determination by Syringa
Networks that a change has occurred in Customer's financial condition, Syringa Networks
may request information from a reporting agency to enable Syringa Networks to assess
Customer's credit history and current credit standing. Customer hereby consents to all
such inquiries. Based on the information acquired, Syringa Networks may change its
billing arrangement with Customer including, without limitation, requiring weekly payments
or a deposit of up to two (2) times Customer's aggregate monthly invoicing for the most
recently invoiced monthly billing period.
5. Bill Disputes. To dispute an invoice, Customer must notify Syringa Networks by
submitting its dispute as provided in Section 15.1, which dispute must include billing
information, Circuit number(s), and any opened trouble ticket number(s), along with a full
explanation of the basis of the disputed charges. Except as provided in an Exhibit,
Customer, in good faith, may withhold the disputed amount but, nevertheless, must pay
the undisputed remainder of the invoice within the Payment Period. No charge may be
disputed more than sixty(60)days after the date of the invoice on which a charge appears.
Any Customer payment of a charge timely disputed and in the manner required will not
deprive Customer of its right to dispute the charge. Syringa Networks will investigate
Customer's claim with a view toward resolving the dispute within thirty(30)days of Syringa
Networks' receipt of Customer's notice. Following an investigation in which Customer co-
operates with Syringa Networks, Syringa Networks may in good faith reject Customer's
claim, in whole or in part, and will advise Customer of the reason for its action. If the
dispute is not resolved to Customer's satisfaction, the Parties may further address the
dispute pursuant to Article 13.
6. Bill Dispute Consequences. If a disputed amount withheld by Customer is
determined to have been a legitimate charge, interest at the Default Rate of Interest may
be charged, at Syringa's discretion, on the amount not paid within the original Payment
Period, and Customer must pay the total amount due and owing within five (5) business
days of its receipt of notice of the determination from Syringa Networks.
7. Pricing Changes. Through no less than forty-five (45) days prior written notice to
Customer delivered at any time after the initial Service Term for the respective Services
as identified on Exhibit A, Syringa Networks is entitled to change its pricing for such
Services (including, without limitation, amounts for both monthly recurring and/or non-
recurring charges).
ARTICLE 4 -TAXES AND GOVERNMENTAL CHARGES
1. Applicability. Unless otherwise expressly set forth on Exhibit A, the monthly
recurring fees do not include any Government Charges and/or Taxes that may be imposed
by any Governmental Activity in relation to the Service. Customer is responsible for
payment of any Government Charges and/or Taxes except those based on Syringa
Networks' net income, personal and real property, and assets.
2. Payment and Other Obligations. Customer must pay existing and future Taxes
and Governmental Charges and comply with new or revised terms and conditions imposed
by Syringa Networks as a result of Governmental Activity. Syringa Networks will provide
thirty (30) days' notice to Customer of any new or revised terms and conditions resulting
from Governmental Activity and such new or revised terms shall be effective immediately.
If Syringa Networks decides to impose new or revised terms and conditions neither
mandated by nor consistent with a Governmental Activity, Syringa Networks will furnish
Customer with at least thirty (30) days notice of the new or revised charge or terms and
conditions, and Customer may discontinue the affected Service, without any termination or
other payment obligation (except for any charges owed for Service up to the time of
termination), by furnishing Syringa Networks written notice of its intent to discontinue the
Service no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of Syringa Networks' notice of the new or
revised charges, terms or conditions.
3. Exemption Certificate. If Customer believes itself to be exempt from any Taxes
or Governmental Charges, it may provide Syringa Networks with a certificate
demonstrating its eligibility for exemption. If the certificate is accepted, Syringa Networks
will cease imposing the applicable Taxes or Governmental Charges and, if such charges
previously had been imposed and collected, Syringa Networks will credit Customer in an
amount equal to the charges paid by Customer during the ninety (90) day period
immediately preceding the delivery of the accepted certificate, unless otherwise required
by law or regulation.
4. Survival. Customer's obligation to pay Taxes and Governmental Charges under
this Article 4 will survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5 -TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on its Effective Date and remain
in effect until the expiration of the latest Service Term for any Service(s) appearing on any
Addendum to Exhibit A (Service Order) and incorporated under these Terms (as
appearing at http://www.syringanetworks.net/support/terms and conditions/). Thereafter,
the Service Term will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless one Party
provides the other with written notice of its intent not to renew it at least sixty (60) days
prior to the end of the initial service term or at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of any
renewal term.
2. Termination and Discontinuation of Service.
(a) Procedure. If Customer terminates this Agreement(other than as provided
in Section 15.1) or discontinues a Service for any reason, Customer must provide Syringa
Networks with written notice in accordance with Article 15. Termination of this Agreement
or any Service requires thirty (30) days prior written notice. For discontinuation of Service,
the notice must identify the affected Service(s) (e.g., the Circuit ID and its Primary and
Secondary locations) and provide the requested termination date for discontinuation,
which may not be less than thirty (30) days from the date Customer's notice is received
by Syringa Networks. A purported termination or discontinuation employing any other form
of communication, or which fails to include essential information, will be ineffective, and
Customer will remain fully obligated to Syringa Networks.
(b) Early Termination or Discontinuation. Unless otherwise agreed by the
Parties in writing, if Customer terminates any Service ordered under this Agreement after
the Start of Service Date but prior to the expiration of the Service Term set forth in any
Service Order or Exhibit A, or for any early termination of Service due to an event of default
by Customer for which Syringa has a right of termination of any Service prior to the
expiration of the Service Term, Customer will be liable to Syringa for the Early Termination
Liability as follows:
(i) All unpaid amounts for Service provided through the date of
termination, including all monthly recurring charges and non-recurring charges,
interest, late fees and charges, and attorney's fees and costs of collection; and
(ii) One hundred percent (100%) of the remaining monthly recurring
charges that would have been incurred for Service for all remaining months of the
Service Term, plus interest, late fees and charges, and attorney's fees and costs
of collection, if applicable.
(c) Termination Before Start of Service. If Customer terminates any Service
ordered under this Agreement after the Effective Date indicated on any Service Order or
Exhibit A, but before the Start of Service Date, Customer is responsible for any and all of
Syringa Network's past, present, and future expenses associated with establishing
Service to Customer.
ARTICLE 6— RESERVED
ARTICLE 7 -WARRANTIES
1. The Parties. Each Party represents and warrants it is, and will remain, duly

and possesses all the authority necessary to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement.
2. Syringa Networks. Syringa Networks represents and warrants that: (a) its On-Net
Service is designed, installed, provided, and maintained in compliance with applicable
legal requirements; and (b) it possesses, and will maintain, all licenses, approvals,
registrations and certifications required by regulators or other third parties to furnish its
Services to Customer.
3. Customer. Customer represents and warrants that: (a) all Customer traffic
handled by Syringa Networks is compliant with applicable legal requirements and those
established in the Terms; and (b) it possesses, and will maintain, all licenses, approvals,
registrations and certifications required by regulators or other third parties to furnish its

OR ORAL, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, NON- INTERFERENCE, AND NON-
INFRINGEMENT.
ARTICLE 8 — DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
1. Default Events. A Party is in default under this Agreement if any of the following
occurs (each an "Event of Default"):
(a) a Party becomes insolvent, liquidates, is adjudicated as bankrupt, makes
an assignment for the benefit of creditors, invokes any provision of law for the relief of
debtors or initiates any proceeding seeking protection from its creditors; or
(b) a Party violates any legal requirement relating to the provision or receipt of
Service, and the violation is not remedied within thirty(30) days of receipt of written notice
of the violation;
(c) except as may otherwise be provided in an Exhibit, a Party fails to perform
a material obligation under this Agreement (other than the payment of money), and the
failure is not remedied within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of the failure. A
failure of Service is not a default entitling Customer to terminate the affected Service or
this Agreement; or
(d) Customer fails to pay any amounts due hereunder, and the failure is not
remedied within ten (10) days of written notice of the failure; provided, however, Syringa
Networks shall not be required to provide such notice more than two times in any twelve-
month period and such failure to pay when due thereafter shall be deemed an Event of
Default without notice.
2. Default Remedies. Upon any Event of Default hereunder, the non-defaulting Party
shall have the following remedies, to be exercised at its option, in addition to other
remedies at law or in equity:
(a) Termination for Non-Monetary Breach. In addition to remedies available
at law or in equity, the non-defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement (including its
Exhibits and Service Orders, both implemented and pending), in whole or in part, for any
Event of Default other than the failure to pay any sums due hereunder.
(b) Remedies for Failure to Pay. Upon any Event of Default arising from the
failure to pay any sums due hereunder, Syringa Networks may, at its option, do one or
more of the following: (a) refuse to accept additional Service Orders; (b) without further
notice, suspend and/or disconnect Service furnished under this Agreement or any Service
Order until Customer has paid all past due amounts owed, with interest and late charges
as set forth in these Terms;
(c) offset unpaid balances with amounts Syringa Networks may owe Customer
under any other agreement between the Parties; or (d) terminate any and all Services
furnished under this Agreement or any Service Order. Following any suspension or
disconnection of Service for non- payment, Service will not be restored until Customer
pays in full all charges then due, including any late fees, interest, collection costs, and the
costs incurred by Syringa Networks in restoring Service. If Customer fails to make full
payment of the charges due within thirty (30) days of such suspension or disconnection,
Service will be terminated effective as of the date of suspension.
(d) Early Termination Liability. A payment default or other default by
Customer resulting in termination of this Agreement or any Service ordered pursuant to
this Agreement will entitle Syringa Networks to collect from Customer applicable Early
Termination Liability as set forth in Section 5.2.
ARTICLE 9 — CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
1. Confidential Information. Each Party must protect the other's confidential
information with the same degree of care used to protect its own confidential information,
but in no event may less than a reasonable standard of care be used by either Party in
connection with the preservation of the other Party's confidential information. Confidential
information shall be used by the recipient only for the purposes of performance under
these Terms, any Service Order, and the Schedules comprising this Agreement.
2. Non-Disclosure. Neither Party shall disclose, publish, release, transfer or
otherwise make available confidential information of, or obtained from, the other in any
form to, or for the use or benefit of, any person or entity without the disclosing Party's
consent. The Parties shall, however, be permitted to disclose relevant aspects of the
other's confidential information to their officers, directors, employees, auditors, attorneys
and representatives, to the extent that such disclosure is not restricted under these Terms,
any Service Order, or the Schedules comprising this Agreement and only to the extent
that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of its duties and
obligations under these Terms and the Schedules; provided, however, that the recipient
shall be responsible for ensuring that such officers, directors, employees, auditors,
attorneys and representatives abide by the provisions of this Article 9.
3. Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a) To the extent it is required to disclose such information in the context of
any administrative or judicial proceeding, recipient may do so to the minimal extent
required to comply with such required disclosure, provided that, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, prior written notice of such disclosure and an opportunity to oppose or limit
disclosure is given to disclosing Party, and such disclosed information shall continue to be
safeguarded as confidential unless and until it falls under an exception set forth in Section
9.3(b) below; and
(b) Recipient shall have no obligation under these Terms with respect to any

Conditions. Customer agrees to use the Voice Service solely for Customer's own internal
purposes. Customer shall not use the Voice Service, either on a stand-alone basis or in
combination with any other services or products, to provide any telecommunications or
other service to a third-party. Any such use by Customer shall be deemed a default under
