Each Carrier Service interconnection, Carrier PLUS Service Interconnection and Dedicated Service Interconnection shall be comprised of one or more dedicated access circuits, as the case may be. Carrier Service Interconnection(s), Carrier PLUS Service Interconnections and Dedicated Service Interconnection(s) are collectively referred to as "SERVICE INTERCONNECTIONS". (B) The circuit(s) comprising each Service Interconnection to a MCI WorldCom POP shall be requested by Customer on the appropriate MCI WorldCom Service Request. Each Service Request will describe (among other things) the MCI WorldCom POP to which a Service Interconnection is to be established, the Requested Service Date therefor, the type and quantity of circuits comprising the Service Interconnection and any charges and other information relevant thereto, such as, Customer's originating or terminating switch location, as the case may be. Such additional information may be obtained from Customer or gathered by MCI WorldCom and recorded in Technical information Sheets provided by MCI WorldCom. (C) Once ordered, and unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Service Interconnection(s) or the circuits comprising each Service Interconnection may only be canceled by Customer upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to MCI WorldCom. (D) With respect to a Carrier Service Interconnection or a Carrier PLUS Service Interconnection, Customer shall be solely responsible for establishing and maintaining each Carrier Service interconnection or Carrier PLUS Service Interconnection over facilities subject to MCI WorldCom's approval. With respect to Dedicated Service Interconnections, MCI WorldCom will provision and maintain local access facilities between the End User location (i.e., PBX) and the MCI WorldCom POP, subject to any LEC charges plus other applicable terms and charges set forth in MCI WorldCom's applicable tariffs (or the applicable tariffs of its affiliates), however, Customer may elect to be responsible for establishing each Dedicated Service Interconnection over facilities subject to MCI WorldCom's approval. Service Interconnections shall be only comprised of DS-1 facilities unless otherwise provided for in the Service Request and agreed to in writing by MCI WorldCom. If a Service Interconnection is proposed to be made via a local exchange carrier, MCI WorldCom will have the authority to direct Customer to utilize MCI WorldCom's entrance facilities or local serving arrangement ("LSA") with the relevant local telephone operating company, and Customer will be subject to a non-discriminatory charge therefor from MCI WorldCom. The monthly recurring charge relevant to Customer's use of LSA capacity shall be subject to upward adjustment by MCI WorldCom from time to time which adjustment, if any, shall not exceed the rate that otherwise would be charged for the equivalent switched access capacity between the same points by the relevant local telephone operating company pursuant to its published charges for the type of service in question. (E) If other private line interexchange facilities are necessary to establish a Service Interconnection, and such facilities are requested from MCI WorldCom, such facilities will be provided on an individual case basis. (F) Commencing with the second full calendar month following Start of Service for each circuit comprising a Service Interconnection (i.e., Carrier Service Interconnections, Dedicated Service Interconnections and Carrier PLUS Interconnections) and thereafter, Customer will maintain Switched Services measured usage charges per DS-1 (or DS-1 equivalent circuit) of not less than an average of $[*****] per calendar month/billing period ("MINIMUM MONTHLY USAGE"). In the event Customer fails to obtain the required Minimum Monthly Usage for the circuits comprising each Service Interconnection, MCI WorldCom will charge and Customer will pay the difference between the total combined number of DS-1s times the Minimum Monthly Usage (i.e., $[*****]) and Customer's total combined Switched Services measured usage charges for the circuit(s) comprising the Service Interconnection in question ("MINIMUM USAGE CHARGE").
