A. Network Availability - 99.99%:

AT&T POPs on the IP/DSL Backbone Network shall be "Available" 99.99% of the time in delivering traffic to/from other
AT&T POP locations on the IP/DSL Backbone measured over a calendar month. Network Availability shall be calculated
based on an aggregate monthly measurement average between AT&T MegaPOP and MiniPOP endpoints within the USA.
*Customer shall be entitled to one (1) day's credit pro-rated from the Customer's Recurring Monthly Service
Fees if AT&T fails to meet the aggregate Network Availability guarantee during any calendar month.

Any calculation of Network Availability shall not include any unavailability resulting from (a) scheduled Network
maintenance; (b) the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, (c) unavailability of an AT&T Virtual POP, or (d) the failure of
non-service impacting equipment or systems responsible for network measurements.

B. Installation Interval - 5 Calendar Days:

For completed, End User circuits on which billing has commenced, “Installation Interval” is calculated as the number of
whole calendar days between the date AT&T received the customer order and the service activation date. *Customer
shall be entitled to 50% credit of the first whole month’s monthly recurring charge for that particular circuit if
AT&T fails to meet the Installation Interval guarantee during the initial installation phase of the order.

This calculation excludes: (a) any customer that does not have an active voice line currently in service with AT&T (must
add high-speed Internet service to existing line), (b) any requested due date that occurs after the first available install
date, (c) lack of facilities within the AT&T network, (d) any orders which are changed by the customer after original date of
submission, (e) orders must be placed before 12PM local time or the interval will not start until the following calendar day,

AT&T's aggregate monthly average, roundtrip POP-to-POP latency on the IP/DSL Backbone Network shall be 40.0
milliseconds or less between MegaPOP locations on the AT&T IP/DSL Backbone. Aggregate monthly roundtrip latency
shall be calculated based on the geometric mean of regular measurement samples between AT&T MegaPOP endpoints
within the contiguous forty-eight (48) States of the USA. Customer shall be entitled to one (1) day's credit pro-rated from
the Customer's Recurring Monthly Service Fees if AT&T fails to meet the aggregate Network Latency Guarantee during any
calendar month.

the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, or (c) the failure of non-service impacting equipment or systems responsible for
network measurements.

D. Data Delivery (Packet Loss) - 99.9%:

AT&T's aggregate monthly average packet loss between AT&T POPs on the IP/DSL Backbone shall not exceed 0.1%.
Packet Loss shall be calculated based on the arithmetic mean of aggregate monthly measurements between AT&T
MegaPOP and MiniPOP endpoints within the USA. *Customer shall be entitled to one (1) day's credit pro-rated from
the Customer's Recurring Monthly Service Fees if AT&T fails to meet the aggregate Network Packet Loss SLA
during any calendar month.

service fees if AT&T fails to meet the 24 Hour Service Restoration SLA.

Any calculation of 24 Hour Service Restoration shall not include any failure attributable to (a) scheduled Network
maintenance; (b) the occurrence of a Force Majeure event; (c) the failure of non-service impacting equipment or systems
responsible for network measurements; or (d) any CPE failures; (e) any outage involving access facilities; including
