IMPORTANT NOTICE RELATING TO THIS GUIDE AND FORMER TARIFFS

Prior to August 1, 2001, service was furnished under WIDSI Tariff FCC No. 8 filed with the Federal Communications Commission and now canceled. Beginning August 1, 2001, service is being furnished pursuant to this Guide and any underlying written contract between the Company and the Customer. Beginning December 1, 2005, such service is not available to new Customers.

Please note the following regarding this important change.

· WIDSI Tariff FCC No. 8 was amended on June 23, 2001 to incorporate new or revised General Definitions and new or revised General Terms and Conditions of Service contained in WorldCom Tariff FCC No. 1. Like the service in former WIDSI Tariff FCC No. 8, these General Definitions and General Terms and Conditions are now part of this Guide and, therefore, are part of customer service contracts. Some of the definitions and terms and conditions contained in former WIDSI Tariff FCC No. 8 are reflected in the General Definitions and General Terms and Conditions of Service and, accordingly, were removed from the former tariff at the time of detariffing on July 31, 2001. This explains why there may be omissions or gaps in the service information previously found in WIDSI Tariff FCC. No. 8 and currently contained in this Guide.

· Except as noted in the preceding paragraph, the text of this Guide replicates the information contained in former WIDSI Tariff FCC No. 8 on July 31, 2001.

· If there is an inconsistency between a General Definition or a General Term and Condition, a service-specific definition or term and condition, or a definition and term and condition contained in a written contract between the Company and the Customer, the relationship with the Customer will consist of the following, in order of precedence from (1) through (3): (1) the definition or term and condition in the written contract; (2) the service-specific definition or term and condition; and (3) the General Definition or Term and Condition. An inconsistency will be deemed to include any instance in which a service-specific definition or a service-specific term and condition has no counterpart in the General Definitions or the General Terms and Conditions of Service.

· The Company may change the Guide from time to time and any change made will be binding on customers after fulfillment of the notice period set forth in Section 7.B of the General Terms and Conditions.

· Any reference to tariff within the text of the Guide shall mean Guide.

Network Pricing Plan (NPP): The NPP is a plan under which a customer commits to a minimum level of monthly revenue for a set period of time. For this commitment, the customer receives benefits which are determined by the channels enrolled in the NPP.

2.1 Enrollment in NPP

Under these plans, a customer commits to a minimum monthly revenue level of combined usage over a selected term, and receives the corresponding NPP benefit for the channels enrolled under the committed plan. Network Pricing Plans are available at minimum monthly revenue levels of $2,000, $25,000 and $40,000 over terms of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years.

(A) A tariff revision results in a higher minimum monthly revenue level for the plan.

(B) The Customer replaces his or her plan with a plan containing an equal or higher level of commitment which expires on or after the expiration date of the plan being revised.

(C) A tariff revision results in lower monthly recurring charges for one or more channels enrolled which causes the combined monthly revenue of all channels enrolled to fall below the minimum commitment and the customer converts to that lower minimum revenue plan.

(D) A tariff revision results in lower rates which causes the customer to be unable to meet the lowest minimum revenue plan.

2.2.2 If a customer discontinues an NPP and none of the conditions identified in Section 2.2.1 apply, the following penalty shall be incurred:

(A) If discontinuance occurs in the first year, the sum of the minimum monthly payments due in the remainder of the first year plus thirty-five percent (35%) of the minimum monthly payments due for the remainder of the term of commitment.

2.3 Regulations

All requests to commence, change, or discontinue an NPP must be made in writing and be received by the Company by the fourteenth day of the month preceding the month in which the desired action is to take effect.

Except as provided in Section 6.3.1, if a customer discontinues service prior to the expiration of a fixed term commitment, the customer will pay an Early Discontinuance Charge calculated as follows:

(A) If discontinuance occurs prior to completion of the first year of service, the customer is liable for the current monthly recurring non-promotional charge for the next lessor term of commitment equal to that actually fulfilled by the customer for the unexpired portion of the first year of service, plus thirty-five percent (35%) of that charge for the remaining portion of the applicable term.

(B) For service discontinued after the completion of the first year of service and more than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the term of commitment, the customer is liable for thirty-five percent (35%) of the current monthly recurring non-promotional charge for the next lessor term of commitment equal to that actually fulfilled by the customer for the unexpired portion of the applicable term. For service discontinued within three (3) months of the expiration date of the term of commitment, the customer is liable for the current monthly recurring non-promotional charge for the next lessor term of commitment equal to that actually fulfilled by the customer for the remainder of the term of commitment.

Example 1

A customer has made a 3-year commitment for a Promotional Voice Grade Channel between the New York terminal and the United Kingdom, but discontinues after 24 months of service.

1. The number of months in the unexpired portion of the applicable term is twelve (12).

2. The current monthly recurring non-promotional charge for the next lessor term of commitment equal to that actually fulfilled by the customer, i.e., 1 year for a Standard Voice Grade Channel from the New York terminal to the United Kingdom, is $3125.

3. The calculation is a follows:

Early Discontinuance Charge = 12 x $3125

Early Discontinuance Charge = $37500

Early Discontinuance Charge = $37500 x 35%

Early Discontinuance Charge = $13125

6.3.1 Exceptions to Early Discontinuance Charge

A. When a customer converts a given channel provided by the Company to another channel also provided by the Company from the same Company terminal to the same offshore or overseas point.

Except as provided in Section 7.2.4.2, if a customer discontinues service prior to the expiration of a fixed term commitment, the customer will pay an Early Discontinuance Charge calculated as follows:

(A) If discontinuance occurs prior to completion of the first year of service, the customer is liable for the remainder of the total monthly charges for the unexpired portion of the first year of service plus thirty-five percent (35%) of the total monthly charges for the remaining portion of the applicable term.

(B) For service discontinued after the completion of the first year of service and more than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the term of commitment, the customer is liable for thirty-five percent (35%) of the total monthly charges for the unexpired portion of the applicable term. For service discontinued within three (3) months of the expiration date of the term of commitment, the customer is liable for the total monthly charges for the remainder of the term of commitment.

Example 1

A customer has made a 1-year commitment for a 56 kbps lease between the New York terminal and the United Kingdom, but discontinues after 5 months of service.

1. The customer originally committed to a 12 month term, however, only retained the service for a period of 5 months leaving 7 months on the unexpired portion of the term.

2. The current monthly recurring charge for the customer's term of commitment, i.e. 1 year is $2710.

3. The equation is calculated as follows:

Early Discontinuance Charge = 7 x ($2710)

Early Discontinuance Charge = $18970

Example 2

A customer has made a 5-year commitment for a 56 kbps lease between the New York terminal and the United Kingdom, but discontinues after 40 months of service.

1. The unexpired portion of the term is 20 months.

2. The current monthly recurring charge for the customer's term of commitment, i.e., 5 years for 56 kbps Skyline IBS Service from the New York terminal to the United Kingdom, is $2420.

3. The equation is calculated as follows:

Early Discontinuance Charge = 20 x $2420

Early Discontinuance Charge = $48400

Early Discontinuance Charge = $48400 x 35%

Early Discontinuance Charge = $16940

7.2.4.2 Exceptions to Early Discontinuance Charge

16.1 Service Description

The following rates and regulations apply for a Network Service Arrangement for the provision of a minimum of seven (7) Standard Voice Grade leased channels with one or more channels to each of the overseas destinations listed in Section 16.1.2, Rates.

16.1.1 Rate Regulations

Service is provided for a minimum service period of one year.

If the customer cancels service prior to the completion of the minimum service period, or if the customer's Network Service Arrangement falls below the 7 channel minimum, the customer's termination liability will be equal to the difference between the month-to-month rates set forth in the Section 5.5, and those listed in the Section 16.1.2 below multiplied by the number of months of service taken.

Network Service Arrangements will be automatically extended for an additional term equal to the minimum service period unless written notice is given to the Company at least 60 days prior to the end of the current terms.

In the event the Company increases its charges for the Network Service Arrangement, the customer may cancel service by notice in writing within 30 days following the effective date of such revisions without liability for termination charges. Such termination will not relieve the customer from its liability to pay for all service rendered through and including the date of disconnection.

22.2.4 Service Availability Credit Plan

A guarantee of service availability will be provided to customers for each TeleConnect IPLC service.

Service Availability Credit will be based on an accumulation of monthly outages. Only outages exceeding one (1) minute will be taken into account in calculating the applicable service availability credit.

Interruptions to TeleConnect IPLC service which are a total disruption of the customer's circuit for a period equal to or exceeding one (1) minute or a degradation of the circuit to a point where it becomes unavailable are credited upon the recognition of the outage as a valid fault condition. The outage period ends when the TeleConnect IPLC service is returned to the customer. If the customer is not available at the time of restoration, the service availability credit amount will be calculated up to the time at which an attempt was made to return the TeleConnect IPLC service to the customer.

Outages are measured not against the fault for which trouble was reported, but against the availability of the TeleConnect IPLC service. If the customer's TeleConnect IPLC service can be restored via an alternate route, the availability of the service would not necessarily be affected.

22.2.4.1 Application of Service Availability Credit Plan

Where the availability of a TeleConnect IPLC service is less than 99.9% or 99.7%, depending on the customer's service option, on a monthly basis, the customer will be entitled to the following service availability credit. All credits will be based on the monthly charge for the affected point-to-point circuit being billed.

In A Month Credit Percentage

< 46 minutes 0%

=> 46 minutes but < 3 hours 10%

Cumulative Faults

In A Month Credit Percentage

< 2 hours 11 minutes 0%
