1. SERVICES. RealConnect shall provide and Customer shall accept the services designated on the first page of this Agreement, attachments, or by subsequent agreement (the "Services"). RealConnect provides a backbone Internet service that is available and functioning 99.9% of the time excepting scheduled maintenance downtime. The backbone includes network infrastructure, leased lines, telecommunications equipment, and routers. The backbone excludes local loops and Customer premise equipment, and does not include destinations beyond RealConnect's infrastructure. Under normal circumstances, RealConnect will perform basic problem determination to isolate problems to local loops or Customer premise equipment, however uptime and response on these portions of the network are not covered by the provisions contained in Section (4) below.

2. COMMENCEMENT OF SERVICES. The Services provided hereunder shall commence in accordance with the schedule(s) set forth on the first page of this Agreement.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENTS. Customer agrees to pay RealConnect for the Services at the rates specified on the first page of this Agreement and on Attachment A, or in RealConnect's standard rate card, as appropriate, all without deduction, setoff or counterclaim. Customer's recurring rates may be subject to an annual increase not to exceed six percent (6%). One-time charges shall be billed at the end of the month in which they are incurred. Monthly recurring charges shall be due in advance on the first day of the month in which Services will be provided. Charges become due and payable upon receipt by Customer of RealConnect's invoice. Failure to pay any sum when due, after three (3) days written notice to Customer, may result in interruption of Services or termination of this Agreement as provided below. A charge of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of the amount owed shall be added for each month that payment(s) are not made after the thirty-first day from the date of the invoice. Customer shall be deemed to have approved RealConnect's invoice if it fails to object in writing to the invoice within Sixty (60) days after the invoice date.

4. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE. RealConnect shall maintain the Services in good working order and repair. Customer shall provide access to its premises during normal business hours or otherwise for the purposes of allowing RealConnect and its agents to install, operate and maintain the Services. Routine maintenance shall be provided during normal business hours (i.e., 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays) ("Business Hours"). Subject to Section (h) below, RealConnect will respond to a Customer trouble report within (a) two (2) hours after receipt by RealConnect of telephone notice of a Major Failure (i.e., malfunction which substantially impairs Customer's ability to use the Services), provided such failure occurs during Business Hours; (b) four (4) hours after receipt by RealConnect of telephone notice of a Minor Failure (i.e., malfunction which impairs Customer's ability to use an essential portion of the Services) during Business Hours; and (c) eight (8) hours during Business Hours or the next business day, after receipt by RealConnect of telephone notice of a Noncritical Failure (i.e., a malfunction which affects the quality but not the availability of the Services). RealConnect reserves the right to upgrade, repair and/or replace all or any portion of the system software, hardware and equipment used to provide the Services in the exercise of its technical judgment. Interruptions of the Services during hours other than Business Hours associated with such actions shall not be considered as an interruption of Services. The provision of maintenance does not insure uninterrupted operation of the Services.

5. CONTRACT RENEWAL. Unless otherwise advised in writing, this contract will be automatically renewed at the end of the initial contract. If it is the Customer's intention to terminate the service at the end of the term, or any renewal term thereof, the Customer shall provide RealConnect with at least 60 days prior notice in writing. If the contract is automatically renewed and there has been a change in pricing, other than what is stipulated in Section (3) above, RealConnect will send to Customer a renewal notice 30 days prior to the expiration of the term.

6. TITLE TO EQUIPMENT AND RISK OF LOSS. As between RealConnect and Customer, RealConnect shall retain title to any and all equipment outside the Customer premises, wiring or software provided or used in connection with the Services. RealConnect shall bear the risk of loss or damage to any equipment provided in connection with the Services, except that Customer shall be liable to RealConnect for the cost of repair or replacement of equipment, wiring and software lost, stolen or damaged as a result of Customer's negligence, intentional acts, unauthorized installation or maintenance or other causes within the reasonable control of Customer, its employees, agents or invitees.

7. FORCE MAJEURE. RealConnect shall not be responsible for any nonperformance or delay in performance of any of the requirements set forth in this Agreement due to any cause beyond its control.

8. TAXES. Customer shall pay any and all taxes, surcharges and similar charges imposed on or based upon the provision or use of the Services or equipment provided under this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and save harmless RealConnect from any and all such taxes, surcharges and similar charges, and from any and all penalties resulting from any failure to file the required returns and associated filings and payments.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNITY BY CUSTOMER.

(a) REALCONNECT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST INCOME OR LOST REVENUE, LOST CLIENTS, LOST GOODWILL, LOST PROFITS, INCREASED COSTS AND OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGES (WHETHER SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE FORESEEN OR NOT AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS ENTERED INTO), SUSTAINED OR INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES FURNISHED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE BY REALCONNECT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO CLAIMS FOUNDED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, PRODUCTS LIABILITY, TORT, INCLUDING BOTH THE ACTIVE AND PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OF REALCONNECT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY. REALCONNECT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED.

(b) The liability of RealConnect for direct damages including, without limitation, injuries to persons or property, arising out of mistakes, acts, omissions, interruptions, delays, errors or defects in transmission occurring in the course of furnishing Services and not caused by the negligence of the Customer or Customer-provided equipment, or arising out of the failure of RealConnect to maintain proper standards of maintenance and operation and to exercise reasonable supervision, shall not exceed an amount equivalent to the proportionate charge under this Agreement to the Customer for the period of time during which such mistake, act, omission, delay, error or defect in transmission occurs as calculated on a pro rata basis in quarter hour increments using a thirty (30) day month as the base period.

(c) RealConnect shall not be liable for any defacement of or damage to the Customer's premises or equipment of the Customer or others resulting from the furnishing of Services or equipment by RealConnect on such premises or by the installation or removal thereof, unless such defacement or damage is the result of negligence of the agents or employees of RealConnect.

(d) Customer shall indemnify and hold RealConnect harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, suits, damages and losses ("Liabilities") arising under this Agreement or from any acts or omissions of or occasioned by Customer, its servants, agents or employees, in connection with this Agreement or the Services hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other incidental litigation costs incurred in connection with any such Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer hereby indemnifies and holds RealConnect and its agents and employees harmless from, and agrees to be responsible for, all losses, damages and liabilities resulting from unauthorized use of the Services by anyone.

10. COST OF COLLECTION. Customer shall be liable to RealConnect for any costs incurred by RealConnect in collecting any amount due under this Agreement or in enforcing any obligation under this Agreement, including, without limitation, collection agency costs, reasonable attorney's fees, and court costs, if any.

11. TERMINATION AFTER SERVICE COMMENCEMENT.

(a) By Customer

(1) Customer may terminate Services or portions thereof subject to payment of a termination charge equal to the amount of the total net present value of the monthly recurring charges under this Agreement for such terminated services (which shall be equal to the higher of the amount of the monthly recurring charges under this Agreement for the terminated portion of the Services (as enumerated in Section 1 on the first page of this Agreement), or the amount of the highest preceding month's invoice for monthly recurring charges under this Agreement for the terminated Services) that would have been payable, but for the termination, in each of the months remaining on the Service Term after the date of such termination. Customer shall also pay all Services charges accrued for Services or portions of Services terminated which have been rendered through the termination date.

(2) Customer may terminate portions of Services and substitute other Services without incurring a termination charge, provided that the total monthly recurring charges(s) under this Agreement for the substituted portions of Services are equal to or higher than the total monthly recurring charges for the terminated portions of Services. If the total monthly recurring charges(s) for the substituted portions of Services are less than the total monthly recurring charges for the terminated portions of Services, Customer will be subject to a termination charge equal to the net present value of the amount of the difference between the total monthly recurring charges for the terminated portions of Services and the total monthly recurring charges for the substituted portions of Services, which would have been payable, but for the partial termination, in each of the months remaining on the Service Term after the date of such partial termination.

(3) Customer may terminate this Agreement without liability for any termination charge if RealConnect fails to perform any material condition of this Agreement and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by RealConnect of a written notice from Customer specifying the nature of such failure; provided Customer shall pay in full all charges for Services rendered through the termination date.

(b) By RealConnect

(1) Services may be terminated by RealConnect in the event Customer fails to perform any obligation to make any payments under this Agreement and such failure continues for a period of three (3) days after receipt by Customer of a written notice from RealConnect, specifying the nature of such failure. Services may be terminated by RealConnect in the event that Customer fails to perform any other condition or obligation under this Agreement and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after receipt by Customer of written notice from RealConnect, specifying the nature of such failure, except that in the event of abuse or fraud by Customer or its agents or employees with respect to the Services or the system providing them, RealConnect shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Services on three (3) hours notice (oral or written) to Customer. In the event Services are terminated pursuant to this subsection (l2)(b)(1), Customer shall be liable for a termination charge calculated pursuant to subsection (l2)(a)(1) above.

(2) Services may be terminated by RealConnect in the event RealConnect determines that the Services are no longer commercially feasible; provided, RealConnect shall provide sixty (60) days written notice to Customer prior to such termination.

12. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Customer agrees that the termination charges specified in subsections (l2)(a)(1), (l2)(a)(2) and (l2)(b)(1) above shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, since the precise amount of such damages cannot be determined in advance.

13. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement is not assignable by Customer without the prior written consent of RealConnect. RealConnect may, without Customer's consent, assign this Agreement or any portion hereof to an affiliate, joint venturer, subsidiary or third party.

14. SUBCONTRACTING. RealConnect may subcontract any or all of the work to be performed by it under this Agreement but shall retain responsibility for the work subcontracted.

15. GUARANTEES; ADVANCE PAYMENTS; IDENTIFICATION. In the event that Customer fails to pay any invoice on or before the forty-fifth day after its date or to pay any sum when due within three (3) days after receipt of RealConnect's written notice pursuant to Section (c) above, or if Customer is unable generally to pay its debts when due, or RealConnect in its reasonable judgment determines that it needs an advance payment to secure Customer's payment obligations, RealConnect may require Customer to pay RealConnect an advance payment in the form of a cashier's or certified check, or letter of credit, or to provide a guaranty satisfactory to RealConnect. Any such advance payment may be applied against Customer's past due amounts.
