effect.
ARTICLE 3. GRANT OF LEASE AND BACKBONE ACCESS
3.1 LESSEE FIBER. Unless otherwise converted to an IRU pursuant to Section 3.6,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications grants to Lessee a Lease in 27,000 fiber miles in the
MFN System (the "Lessee Fiber") for a period of 20 years beginning on the
Acceptance Date for each segment, which Lessee Fiber is identified by segment in
Exhibit B. To the extent the Acceptance Date for any Lessee Fiber has not
occurred as of the Effective Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications has the obligation to
design, engineer, install, and construct or acquire such Lessee Fiber. Unless
otherwise accepted by Lessee, all Lessee Fiber shall provide Diversity. Lessee
agrees to pay the fees set forth in Section 4.1 for the Lessee Fibers.
3.2 LEASE LIMITATIONS. The Lease granted to Lessee hereunder and any rights
granted by Lessee to third party users, are subject to all Right-of-Way
Authorizations applicable to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications System and the
Buildings. Lessee will adhere to the requirements of all such Right-of-Way
Authorizations. The Lease of the Lessee Fiber hereunder does not convey
3
any legal title to any real or personal property, including the fibers, cable,
or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications System. This Lease does not include any Equipment
used to transmit capacity over, or to "light," the Lessee Fiber.
3.3 BUILDING TERMINATION. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications is obligated to terminate the
Lessee Fiber at a Demarcation Point serving the Buildings listed in Exhibit C.
To the extent the Lessee Fiber does not terminate at the Buildings listed in
Exhibit C as of the Effective Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications has the obligation
to design, engineer, install, and construct or acquire fiber and terminate such
fiber at such Buildings. All such terminations established by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications shall comply with the relevant Fiber Testing Specifications
(including the splice loss and optical fiber specifications) set forth in
Exhibit A and with relevant telecommunications industry practices.
3.4 BACKBONE ACCESS. Lessee may access the Lessee Fibers along the backbone of
the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications System at any Building or mutually agreed upon
Splice Point. Lessee agrees to pay the Backbone Access Payment set forth in
Section 4.2 for such Backbone Access.
3.5 CONVERSION TO IRU. At any time during the Term, upon the request of Lessee
and Lessee's payment to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications of the net present value of the
Lease Payments and Backbone Access Payments calculated based upon a mutually
agreed upon discount rate, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall grant to Lessee an
Indefeasible Right of Use to the Lessee Fibers and Backbone Access equal to the
remaining term of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 4. CONSIDERATION; FEES
4.1 LEASE PAYMENTS. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications represents that the fiber miles set
forth in Exhibit B, are either the actual fiber miles (calculated as the route
miles traversed by the Lessee Fiber multiplied by the number of Lessee Fibers on
the route) or a bona fide estimate thereof.
(a) Except as set forth in the following subsection, Lessee shall make
monthly payments to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications in advance during the Term, in an
amount calculated as [*****] PER FIBER MILE PER MONTH ("Lease Payments") based
27,000 fiber miles set forth in Exhibit B, for a total lease payment of
[********] during the Term. Lease payments begin upon the Effective Date.
(b) The parties agree that Lessee shall make monthly payments in the
amount of [***********] (80,140 fiber miles) up through and including the April
billing (for May service) which represents the monthly charge for 6 fibers along
the route of the Lessee Fiber (the "Penalty Fee"). Thereafter, Lessee shall only
be responsible for Lease Payments equal to the monthly charge for the Lessee
Fibers set forth in Exhibit B. The Penalty Fee is in exchange for the downsizing
of Lessee's commitment in the Fiber Lease to the commitment represented by this
Agreement.
4.2 BACKBONE ACCESS PAYMENTS. In exchange for Backbone Access, Lessee shall make
monthly payments to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications in advance ("Backbone Access
Payment").

4.3 PAYMENT TERMS. Building Access Payments and Lease Payments commence on the
first day of the month beginning with the month after the Acceptance Date of the
relevant Lessee Fiber and/or Building, except that the first payment shall
include payment from the Acceptance Date to the last day of the month during
which the Acceptance Date occurs, as well as payment for the first full month
after the Acceptance Date. Lessee shall continue making such payments through
the first day of the month in which the Expiration Date occurs, unless the
Agreement is terminated prior to the Expiration Date as herein provided. All
payments are payable in accordance with Article 11.
4.4 NO BACKBONE ACCESS PAYMENTS AT POPS. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications will not charge
a Backbone Access Payment for termination within ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications POPs,
transmission sites or regeneration sites where Lessee is collocating with
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, or at Lessee's POPs.
ARTICLE 5. DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE
5.1 DELIVERY. To the extent not already delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications and
accepted by Lessee, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications will use commercially reasonable
efforts to deliver the Lessee Fiber and Buildings by the scheduled Delivery Date
for each stated in Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively. In the event ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications anticipates a failure to deliver
5
any of the Lessee Fiber or Buildings by the scheduled Delivery Date, the parties
will designate representatives to meet and review the status of the delivery. If
the scheduled Delivery Date for any segment of Lessee Fiber or a Building is in
fact delayed, such delay will be considered a triggering event for the accrual
of liquidated damages to the Lessee as follows:
(a) Subject to subsections (b), (c) and (d) below, and provided the
delay is not caused in whole or in part by Lessee, Lessee is entitled to a
credit against monthly charges in an amount equal to [***] per fiber mile of the
segment of Lessee Fiber for which the Delivery Date is delayed per month until
such time as such segment is delivered, and a credit against monthly charges in
an amount equal to [******] per delayed Building per month until delivered
("Liquidated Damages");
(b) Liquidated Damages for each segment of Lessee Fibers is limited to
50% of the present value of the total monthly charges payable based on [******]
per fiber mile (using a discount factor of [***]) associated with the fiber
miles for the delayed segment. As an example, if a segment consisting of [***]
fiber miles is delayed under the Agreement, the present value of monthly charges
for that segment is [***********], and the total maximum Liquidated Damages
payable to Lessee for the delayed segment, regardless of duration of delay is
[***********]. Partial months of delay will be credited on a daily pro-rated
basis;
(c) Liquidated Damages for Lessee Fiber for all delays are limited to
[***] of the then-current monthly invoicing of [******] per fiber mile to
Lessee. As an example, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications is currently billing Lessee
[********] per month, Lessee is entitled to a maximum of [********] per month in
Liquidated Damages, regardless of the number of delayed segments;
(d) Lessee may terminate the Agreement with respect a delayed segment
of Lessee Fibers or a delayed Building upon 15 days prior written notice to
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, unless and until delivery actually occurs. Upon
termination, Liquidated Damages will cease to accrue for the terminated segments
and/or Buildings, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications has no further payment obligations
with respect to such segment.
The parties agree that the Liquidated Damages represent a reasonable estimate of
anticipated damages incurred by Lessee in the event of a delay of a segment of
Lessee Fiber or a Building. The Liquidated Damages and termination of a segment
with a reduction of payment obligations are the sole and exclusive remedies of
the Lessee and the sole and exclusive liabilities of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications
with respect to a delivery delay, and provided each party has complied with the
terms of this Section 5.1, under no circumstances will a delay in the Delivery
Date for a segment of Lessee Fiber or a Building be considered a default.
5.2 ACCEPTANCE AND TESTING OF FIBERS
(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ COMMUNICATIONS TESTING. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall give
notice to Lessee at least 21 days prior to the date ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications
intends to begin testing of Lessee Fiber ("Fiber Acceptance Testing"). Lessee
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to have a representative present
at such Fiber Acceptance Testing. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
6
Communications shall perform Fiber Acceptance Testing of the Lessee Fiber and
provide test deliverables to Lessee in accordance with Exhibit A.
(b) OBJECTIONS TO TEST RESULTS. Lessee shall have 21 calendar days
after receipt of test deliverables to provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications written
notice of any bona fide determination by Lessee that the Lessee Fiber does not
meet the Fiber Testing Specifications. Such notice shall identify the specific
data that indicate a failure or other specific reasons that such Lessee Fiber
fail to meet the Fiber Testing Specifications.
(c) RESPONSE TO OBJECTIONS. Upon receiving written notice from Lessee
pursuant to Section 5.2(b), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall either: (i)
expeditiously take such action as shall be reasonably necessary to cause such
portion of the Lessee Fiber to meet the Fiber Testing Specifications and then
re-test the Lessee Fiber in accordance with the provisions of this Article; or
(ii) provide Lessee written notice that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications disputes
Lessee's determination that the Lessee Fiber does not meet the Fiber Testing
Specifications. After taking corrective actions and re-testing the Lessee Fiber,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall provide to Lessee a copy of the new test
deliverables and Lessee shall again have all rights provided in this Article
with respect to such new test deliverables. The cycle described above of
testing, taking corrective action and re-testing shall take place until the
Lessee Fiber is accepted.
(d) INDEPENDENT TESTING. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications provides notice to
Lessee pursuant to Subsection 5.2(c)(ii), Lessee shall within five calendar days
of such notice designate by written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications the names
and addresses of three reputable and independent fiber optic testing companies.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall designate one of such companies to conduct an
independent re-test of the Lessee Fiber for the relevant Lessee Fiber. If, after
such re-testing, the testing company determines that the Lessee Fiber so tested:
(i) meet the Fiber Testing Specifications, then Lessee shall pay the testing
company's charges for performing the testing and the Acceptance Date for the
relevant Lessee Fiber shall be 21 calendar days after the date that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications originally provided its test deliverables; or (ii) do not meet
the Fiber Testing Specifications, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall pay the
testing company's charges for performing the testing and shall perform the
corrective action and re-testing set forth in Subsection 5.2(c)(i).
5.3 ACCEPTANCE. Unless Lessee provides a timely written objection pursuant to
Section 5.2, the Acceptance Date for each delivery occurs on the twenty-first
calendar day after the Delivery Date, or, if earlier, the date Lessee (a)
provides written acceptance of the Lessee Fiber or Building or (b) commences use
of the Lessee Fiber or Building. Any failure by Lessee to accept or reject the
Lessee Fiber within the 21-day period, or any use of the Lessee Fiber by Lessee
Fiber for any purpose other than testing, constitutes acceptance for purposes of
this Agreement and Lessee is deemed to have accepted upon such use or on the
22nd day after the Delivery Date.
5.4 AS-BUILT DRAWINGS. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications will provide to Lessee, within
180 days of the Acceptance Date, as-built drawings of Lessee Fiber in the format
described in Exhibit D to this Agreement.
7
5.5 INTRABUILDING EXTENSIONS. Lessee may elect to obtain either fiber optic or
metallic (e.g., coaxial cable or copper twisted pair) extensions between a
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications Demarcation Point at a Building and another point within
the same Building. Upon written request for either such extension setting forth
the design and terminating location of such extension, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications
shall, at its sole discretion and in accordance with its then-standard order
intervals, either (a) construct a Lessee-owned riser for a nonrecurring charge
equal to its Cost; (b) designate at least one, but up to three, reputable
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications-approved contractors authorized to perform such work, in
which case ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall have no responsibility for such
extension and Lessee shall deal directly with any such contractor for
Lessee-owned risers; or (c) provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communication-owned riser at
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications' then-current charge. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall
reasonably cooperate with any such approved contractors selected by Lessee to
allow them to perform such work.
5.6 USE OF PARTIALLY COMPLETED SEGMENT. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications has not
delivered a segment of Lessee Fiber by the scheduled Delivery Date, but some
portions of the segment are available for use, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall,
upon request of Lessee, permit Lessee to use such available portions and Lessee
shall pay a pro rata share of the lease payment with respect to the Lessee
Fibers in such segment. In addition, in the event that Lessee elects to accept a
portion of a segment of Lessee Fiber prior to the time that a complete segment
or ring is available for use, the late fee payment set forth in Section 5.1
shall be reduced in proportion to the Lessee Fibers in the segment or ring being
utilized.
5.7 EARLY DELIVERY. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications has any Lessee
Fibers available prior to the scheduled Delivery Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications
may give notice to Lessee, offering to deliver such Lessee Fibers prior to the
scheduled Delivery Date therefore. Lessee shall advise ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications
whether or not Lessee desires to begin using such Lessee Fibers prior to the
scheduled Delivery Date. If Lessee elects to begin such use prior to the
scheduled Delivery Date, the Term of such Lessee Fibers and payment obligations
shall commence upon the actual Acceptance Date thereof.
ARTICLE 6. COLLOCATION AND MAINTENANCE
Collocation, operation and maintenance of the Lessee Fiber is governed by the
Collocation and Maintenance Agreement, dated contemporaneously with this
Agreement.
ARTICLE 7. AUTHORIZATIONS
7.1 MAINTAINING AUTHORIZATIONS. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to maintain, renew, or replace the Right-of-Way
Authorizations during the Term. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications determines it is not
commercially reasonable to maintain, renew or replace any of its existing
Right-of-Way Authorizations during the Term, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall
give notice to Lessee and shall cooperate with Lessee, at Lessee's written
request, to attempt to maintain, renew or replace such Right-of-Way
Authorizations, at Lessee's sole Cost. During the last three years of the Term,
upon written notice from Lessee requesting
8
such information, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall promptly provide written notice
of the status (including any potential or pending terminations or expirations)
of Right-of-Way Authorizations relating to the Lessee Fiber, including but not
limited to whether or not ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications intends to extend or renew any
Right-of-Way Authorizations. In the event that during the Term any Right-of-Way
Authorization expires or is terminated and is not replaced, Lessee shall have
the right upon 30 days prior written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, to
terminate the Lease with respect to the Lessee Fiber affected by such expired or
terminated Right-of-Way Authorization. Upon such termination, Lessee's
obligation to make any Lease payments with respect to which the Lease has been
terminated shall expire.
7.2 EXTENSION OF LEASE TERM. To the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications has elected
to maintain or extend or replace Right-of-Way Authorizations with respect to
this Lease beyond the Term, Lessee may request an extension of the Term of such
Lease, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications agrees to negotiate with Lessee with respect
to such extension, but ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall have no obligation to grant
any such extension.
ARTICLE 8. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
ARTICLE 9. INTERCONNECTION OF LESSEE'S SYSTEM
9.1 SPLICE POINTS. In the event Lessee seeks to establish its own
interconnection with the Lessee Fiber to establish Backbone Access, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communication shall provide, at Lessee's Cost, fiber drops from interconnection
points at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communication System to the edge of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications
right-of-way at points mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties ("Splice
Point(s)"). ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide Splice Points at the locations requested by Lessee subject to the
limitations in the Right-of-Way Authorizations. Subject to the terms of the
Right-of-Way Authorizations and Section 9.3, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall also
provide Lessee reasonable access to any such Splice Points. Unless otherwise
agreed, Lessee must provide and install Lessee-owned manholes/handholes and/or
conduit to the selected ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications manhole/handhole for Splice
Point interconnection. All work in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications manholes/handholes
and splice enclosures, including splicing and manhole/handhole penetration, will
be managed and supervised by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications.
9.2 DEMARCATION POINT.
(a) BUILDINGS. The Demarcation Point for a Building shall be at:
(i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications' fiber patch panel or the DSX-N
panel (as designated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications) for interconnections at
Buildings having either of such panels; or
(ii) the furthest point inside a Building, including a local
exchange carrier's central office, to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications is allowed
to take the fiber; and, to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications is later allowed
to install or access a fiber patch panel or DSX-N
9
panel inside of such Building, such point shall become the Demarcation Point and
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications agrees to deliver Lessee Fiber to such point.
Where neither of the Demarcation Points described in (i) or (ii) above exist,
the Demarcation Point shall be selected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications consistent
with reasonable industry and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications practices.
(b) SPLICE POINTS. The Demarcation Point for each Splice Point is at
the Lessee-provided manhole/handhole unless otherwise agreed upon by the
parties..
9.3 ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON INTERCONNECTION RIGHTS. Lessee's exercise of the
right to interconnect with Lessee Fibers for Backbone Access as set forth in
Section 3.4 and Section 9.1 shall be subject to any prohibitions or restrictions
in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications' Right-of-Way Authorizations. Lessee may not
establish an interconnection that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, in its reasonable
discretion (applied without unreasonable discrimination with respect to
interconnections made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications or third parties), determines
is likely to materially and adversely affect the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications System.
9.4 FACILITIES OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL. Lessee shall retain ownership of any
portion of facilities on its side of the Demarcation Point during the Term of
this Agreement and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall have no obligation to maintain,
repair, relocate, or monitor such Lessee facilities (including any fiber drop
facilities established pursuant to Section 9.1). Lessee shall not access a
splice, splice box, splice vault, or similar facility interconnecting with
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications' System. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall perform any work
required with respect to such splice facilities and may invoice Lessee for the
Cost of performing such work at the request of Lessee (except to the extent the
work relates to the termination in a Building).
9.5 LESSEE RESPONSIBILITY. Subject to the provisions herein, Lessee shall be
responsible for obtaining the rights required and for all costs of:
(a) obtaining rights of way within or beyond ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications'
Right-of-Way Authorizations;
(b) obtaining building access, entry rights, ducts, or riser cables to
interconnect in buildings or any access beyond ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications'
Demarcation Point with respect to a Building;
(c) providing all Equipment and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications-approved
materials to construct and install each interconnection, including cables and
conduit and any labor charges associated therewith; and
(d) bringing facilities to and connecting them with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications' System.
10
9.6 THIRD PARTY RELATIONS. If necessary, and where applicable, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications shall assist Lessee, at Lessee's Cost, in obtaining from any land
or building owner, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, or private or governmental
right-of-way owner, any rights required to access and exit interconnection
points. Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to avoid damaging the relationships
between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications and such third parties.
ARTICLE 10. USE OF THE LESSEE FIBER
10.1 OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH LAWS; EXCLUSIVE USE. Lessee shall comply in all
material respects with all applicable government codes, ordinances, laws, rules,
regulations, Right-of-Way Authorizations and/or restrictions in its use of
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications' System. Subject to Article 20, Lessee may use the
Lessee Fiber for any lawful telecommunications purpose. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications
shall have no right to use Lessee Fiber during the Term of this Agreement.
10.2 SYSTEM DAMAGE. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications and Lessee shall promptly notify
each other of any matters pertaining to any damage or impending damage to or

of Lessee, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall not enter into any agreement that would
have the effect of obligating Lessee to pay additional taxes or franchise,
license or permit fees unless such agreement is required by a government or
agency thereof in connection with the grant of a franchise, license, permit or
similar governmental requirement or required pursuant to a Right-of-Way
Authorization.

releases or other public statements or disclosures to governmental entities by
the other party that refer to, or that describe any aspect of this Agreement;
provided, however, that no party shall have an approval right with respect to
any public announcements or disclosures to any governmental entities which are,
in the reasonable judgment of the party making such public announcement or
disclosure, required by law.
ARTICLE 17. DEFAULT
17.1 PARTIAL TERMINATION UPON DEFAULT. Either party, upon written notice to the
other party after the other party's default and the other party's failure to
cure any default in the performance of any material obligation hereunder prior
to the end of the applicable cure period, may terminate this Agreement as herein
provided, provided that at the time of termination such default remains uncured:
(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications may terminate this Agreement, to the extent
that Lessee is the defaulting party; and/or
(b) Lessee may terminate this Agreement, to the extent that the default
relates to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications System (or, at Lessee's election, with
respect to any Lessee Fiber for which the Acceptance Date has not occurred as
provided in Article 5), if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications is the defaulting party.

17.2 SPECIFIC DEFAULT EVENTS. Events of default shall include but not be limited
to: (a) the making of a general assignment for the benefit of the defaulting
party's creditors; (b) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or the

(a) with respect to a default in payment, the period ending ten (10)
business days after a written notice of such default is given;
(b) with respect to any other default, the period ending 30 calendar
days after a written notice of such default is given, provided, however, that if
such default cannot with reasonable diligence be cured within such 30-day
period, and such other party has commenced to effect a cure immediately upon
receipt of such notice, and diligently pursues such cure, then such cure period
will be extended for a period reasonably required to cure such default but in no
event more than an additional 30 calendar days.
17.4 FAILURE TO CURE. Upon the failure by the defaulting party to timely cure
any such default after notice thereof from the other party, the other party may,

may be waived under the terms of this Agreement at the other party's option. Any
such waiver shall be in writing.

escrow account of a nationally chartered domestic bank with offices in

and responsible for paying any fees charged by, the bank holding the escrow
funds.

fire, flood, material shortage or unavailability not
17
resulting from the responsible party's failure to timely place orders therefor,
lack of transportation, government codes, ordinances, laws, rules, regulations
or restrictions, war or civil disorder, or any other cause beyond the reasonable
control of such party, provided that the party claiming relief under this
Section shall promptly notify the other in writing of the existence of the event
relied on and the cessation or termination of said event. The party claiming
relief under this Section shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to
minimize the time for any such delay.

party in a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear the cost of
preparing and presenting its own case. The cost of the arbitration, including
the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the parties
unless the award otherwise provides.
19.2 EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRATION OBLIGATION. The obligation herein to arbitrate
shall not be binding upon any party with respect to requests for preliminary
injunctions, temporary restraining orders or other procedures in a court of
competent jurisdiction to obtain interim relief when deemed necessary by such
court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending
resolution by arbitration of the actual dispute.
ARTICLE 20. ASSIGNMENT

EXHIBIT A
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ FIBER SPLICING, TESTING AND
ACCEPTANCE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES
1. Testing
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall use an optical time domain
reflectometer ("OTDR") to test splices and shall use an OTDR and a 1-km launch
reel to test pigtail connectors. Such initial construction tests shall be
uni-directional and performed at 1550 nm.
B. The loss value of the pigtail connector and its associated splice
measured from a two point uni-directional OTDR test will not exceed 0.8 dB. For
values greater than this, the splice will be broken and re-spliced until an
acceptable loss value is achieved. If after five (5) attempts, the contractor is
not able to produce a loss value less than 0.8 dB, the splice will be marked as
Out-of-Spec (OOS). The pigtail connector and associated splice with launch box
connector shall not have reflectance >-45dB, i.e., -43 dB or -41 dB is
unacceptable. If cleaning does not reduce reflectance then contractor must
re-splice a new pigtail.
C. If the loss value for a splice, when measured in one direction with
an OTDR, exceeds 0.15 dB, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall break the splice and
re-splice until the loss value is 0.15 dB or less, provided that, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications is not able to achieve a loss value of 0.15 dB after three total
splicing attempts, then the maximum loss value shall be 0.3 dB. If, after two
additional resplicing attempts, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications is not able to achieve a
loss value of 0.3 dB or less, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall ▇▇▇▇ the splice
as Out-of-Spec (OOS).
2. End-to-End Testing
A. After ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications has established end-to-end
connectivity on the fibers during initial construction, it shall:
o perform bi-directional end-to-end tests,
o test continuity to confirm that no fibers have been
"frogged" or crossed at any splice points,
o record loss measurements using a light source and a power
meter, and
o take OTDR traces and record splice loss measurements.
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall perform the bi-directional end-to-end
tests and OTDR traces at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm, provided that 1310nm OTDR
tests are not required for spans longer than 64 kilometers. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications shall measure and verify losses for each splice point in both
directions and average the loss values. The average of all bi-directional splice
losses within each span shall be 0.15 dB or less. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall
▇▇▇▇ any splice point as Out-of-Spec (OOS) that has an average loss value, based
on bi-directional OTDR testing, in excess of 0.3 dB. No reflective splices will
be accepted.
Exhibit A - Page 1
3. Post-Construction Testing
After performing permanent resplicing (in conjunction with repair of a cable
cut, replacement of a segment of cable, or other work after initial installation
and splicing of the cable), the test procedures set forth in Section 2
(End-to-End Testing) of this Exhibit, shall apply to the relevant fibers and
cable segments. The provisions in Sections 4 (OTDR Equipment and Settings) and 5
(Acceptance Test Deliverables) of this Exhibit, that are relevant to such
testing shall also apply. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications may, after the Acceptance
Date, adopt any alternative methods of testing that are generally accepted in
the industry and that provide sufficient data to fulfill the objectives of the
tests set forth in this exhibit.
4. Out-of-Spec Splices
Out-of-Spec splices shall be noted, but shall not preclude acceptance of a fiber
if the Out-of-Spec condition does not affect transmission capability (based on
use of then-prevailing telecommunications industry standards applicable to
equipment generally used with the relevant type of fiber) or create a
significant possibility of an outage.
5. OTDR Equipment and Settings
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall use OTDR equipment and settings that are, in its
reasonable opinion, suitable for performing accurate measurements of the fiber
installed. Such equipment and settings shall include, without limitation, the
Laser Precision TD3000 and CMA4000 models and compatible models for OTDR
testing, and the following settings:

7. General Testing Procedures and Delivery of Test Results
A. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications Fiber Acceptance Testing of a Selected
Segment begins prior to the twentieth (20th) day after the Effective Date, then
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall provide Lessee with a copy of the test
deliverables on a Segment-by-Segment basis by twenty (20) calendar days after
the later of (i) the conclusion of such Fiber Acceptance Testing of a Segment or
(ii) the Effective Date.
B. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications Fiber Acceptance Testing begins on or
after the twentieth (20th) day after the Effective Date, the provisions of this
subsection shall apply. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications Fiber Acceptance Testing shall
progress Segment by Segment along the Route as cable splicing progresses, so
that test deliverables may be reviewed in a timely manner. Lessee shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to have an individual present to observe the
Fiber Acceptance Testing. Within twenty (20) calendar days after the conclusion
of any Fiber Acceptance Testing of the Lessee Fibers conducted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications in any given Segment, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall provide
Lessee with a copy of the test deliverables.
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall, upon written request, provide Lessee
with its testing schedule for any Segment promptly after developing such
schedule.
Exhibit A - Page 3
8. Lessee Testing
The following procedures shall apply to Lessee testing:
A. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications' Fiber Acceptance Testing begins on or
after the twentieth (20th) day after the Effective Date, Lessee may perform its
own concurrent Fiber Acceptance Testing of the Lessee Fibers at the same time
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications performs testing at each location. If Lessee elects to
perform such testing, it shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications of its intent to
do so no later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date. The parties shall
cooperate to facilitate such separate, but concurrent, Fiber Acceptance Testing,
provided that the Lessee shall conform to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications testing
schedule.
B. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications' Fiber Acceptance Testing begins prior to
the twentieth (20th) day after the Effective Date, or if Lessee does not elect
to perform concurrent testing pursuant to Subsection 8.A of this Exhibit, Lessee
may perform its own Fiber Acceptance Testing of the Lessee Fibers after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications Fiber Acceptance Testing begins. Lessee shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications at least seven (7) days' prior notice of Lessee's testing
schedule. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to have an individual present to observe Lessee's Fiber Acceptance Testing.
C. Within twenty (20) calendar days after the conclusion of any Fiber
Acceptance Testing of the Lessee Fibers conducted by Lessee in any given
Segment, the Lessee shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications of any detected
failures to meet the specifications set forth in Section 2 of this Exhibit. The
Lessee's exercise or non-exercise of its right to conduct Fiber Acceptance
Testing pursuant shall not extend or shorten the time periods for Lessee to
determine, pursuant to the Agreement, if the Fibers meet the Acceptance
Standards.
D. The Lessee must notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications of its intent to
perform acceptance testing within 10 calendar days following the later of the
date it receives notification of route completion or the date it receives the
results of Final Acceptance Testing.
1. Testing
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall use an optical time domain
reflectometer ("OTDR") to test splices and shall use an OTDR and a 1-km launch
reel to test pigtail connectors. Such initial construction tests shall be
uni-directional and performed at 1550 nm.
B. The loss value of the pigtail connector and its associated splice
measured from a two point uni-directional OTDR test will not exceed 0.8 dB. For
values greater than this, the splice will be broken and re-spliced until an
acceptable loss value is achieved. If after five (5) attempts, the contractor is
not able to produce a loss value less than 0.8 dB, the splice will be marked as
Out-of-Spec (OOS). The pigtail connector and associated splice with launch box
connector shall not have reflectance >-45dB, i.e., -43 dB or -41 dB is
unacceptable. If cleaning does not reduce reflectance then contractor must
re-splice a new pigtail.
Exhibit A - Page 4
C. If the loss value for a splice, when measured in one direction with
an OTDR, exceeds 0.15 dB, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall break the splice and
re-splice until the loss value is 0.15 dB or less, provided that, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications is not able to achieve a loss value of 0.15 dB after three total
splicing attempts, then the maximum loss value shall be 0.3 dB. If, after two
additional resplicing attempts, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications is not able to achieve a
loss value of 0.3 dB or less, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall ▇▇▇▇ the splice
as Out-of-Spec (OOS).
2. End-to-End Testing
A. After ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications has established end-to-end
connectivity on the fibers during initial construction, it shall:
o perform bi-directional end-to-end tests,
o test continuity to confirm that no fibers have been
"frogged" or crossed at any splice points,
o record loss measurements using a light source and a power
meter, and
o take OTDR traces and record splice loss measurements.
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall perform the bi-directional end-to-end
tests and OTDR traces at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm, provided that 1310nm OTDR
tests are not required for spans longer than 64 kilometers. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications shall measure and verify losses for each splice point in both
directions and average the loss values. The average of all bi-directional splice
losses within each span shall be 0.15 dB or less. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications shall
▇▇▇▇ any splice point as Out-of-Spec (OOS) that has an average loss value, based
on bi-directional OTDR testing, in excess of 0.3 dB. No reflective splices will
be accepted.
3. Post-Construction Testing
After performing permanent resplicing (in conjunction with repair of a cable
cut, replacement of a segment of cable, or other work after initial installation
and splicing of the cable), the test procedures set forth in Section 2
(End-to-End Testing) of this Exhibit, shall apply to the relevant fibers and
cable segments. The provisions in Sections 4 (OTDR Equipment and Settings) and 5
(Acceptance Test Deliverables) of this Exhibit, that are relevant to such

5. The following Section 3.6 is added to the Agreement:
"TERM. The initial term of the agreement expires [*********] years after the
Effective Date of the First Amendment to this Agreement, with [***************]
renewal periods. Unless Lessee provides a minimum of 60 days notice of

8. Section 17.7 is added to the Agreement:
"CROSS DEFAULT. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications and Lessee are parties to a second Lease
Agreement dated April 26, 2002 pursuant to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications is the
lessee (the "Metro Agreement"). The parties agree that a default under the Metro
Agreement is deemed a default under this Agreement, giving the non-defaulting
party the right to terminate if the Metro Agreement is likewise terminated. The

Agreement. Such termination shall be effective 120 days after such notice, if
given.
9. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Amendment is effective upon the date of the last
signature hereto ("Effective Date"). The parties agree that the new billing rate
as specified in paragraph 7 of this Amendment is effective October 1, 2002. To
be sure, any invoices rendered during September 2002 for October services, will
be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge
that the Amendment must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to an
order, in form and substance acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications and Lessee,
which provides for, among other things, the following: (i) assumption of the
Agreement, as amended, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii)
a finding that the parties negotiated the Amendment at arm's length and in good
faith. If such approval is not obtained on or before October 17, 2002 or such
later date as the parties may agree to, this Amendment will be null and void and
of no force or effect and Lessee agrees to pay the difference between the
amended amounts invoiced for October and the actual amounts owed under the
Agreement.
10. ASSUMPTION AND WAIVER OF SPECIFIC CLAIMS. Following the assumption of the
Agreement, if the Agreement is terminated due to Lessee's failure to perform or
its rejection thereof, nothing herein constitutes a waiver of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications' right to a general unsecured claim for all outstanding
pre-petition amounts owed under the Agreement and an administrative claim for
post-petition damages caused by any breach of the Agreement, or of the right of
MFN or any party in interest to object to any such claim. Any and all
administrative
CONFIDENTIAL

EXECUTION COPY
expense claims will require ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications to satisfy the requirements
of the Bankruptcy Code to establish the claim and is without prejudice to any
other party's right to contest such claim.
11. As additional consideration, Lessee agrees to provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Communications with the opportunity to view all future local and long-haul
capacity requirements of Lessee and will have the opportunity to displace any
other capacity provider currently used by Lessee as such service contracts
expire. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, Lessee is not obligated to
purchase any services from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications that do not strictly meet
Lessee's requirements, or to execute orders if the terms of service are not
competitive with other third-party providers of the same or similar service.
12. Except as amended, all of the original terms and conditions of the Agreement
continue in full force and effect, neither party is in currently in default, and
the Agreement, as amended is hereby ratified and confirmed.
13. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which taken together
constitute one and the same instrument.
The parties have executed this Amendment on the dates set forth below.

excess liability policies.
If the Landlord imposes more stringent insurance requirements pursuant to the

mutual objective and intent to minimize to the extent feasible all taxes and
that they will cooperate with each other and coordinate their mutual efforts to
achieve such objectives in accordance with the provisions of this Article. The

ARTICLE XV. CONFIDENTIALITY
15.1 CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATION. If either Party provides confidential
information to the other or, if in the course of performing under this Agreement
or negotiating this Agreement a Party learns confidential information regarding
the facilities or plans of the other, the receiving Party shall (a) protect the
confidential information from disclosure to third parties with the same degree
of care accorded its own confidential and proprietary information, but in any
case with at least reasonable care and (b) refrain from using such confidential
information except in negotiating or performing under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, a Party may provide such confidential information to
its directors, officers, members, managers, employees, agents, and contractors,
consultants ("Representatives"), Affiliates, contractors, financial
institutions, lenders, Underlying Landlords, potential assignees (who are bound
by a written agreement restricting use and disclosure of confidential
information), and Representatives of Affiliates, in each case whose access is
reasonably necessary. Each such recipient of confidential information shall be
informed by the Party disclosing confidential information of its confidential
nature, and shall be directed to treat such information confidentially and shall
agree to abide by these provisions. In any event, each Party shall be liable
(with respect to the other Party) for any breach of this provision by any entity
to whom that Party discloses confidential information. The terms of this
Agreement (but not its execution or existence) shall be considered confidential
information for purposes of this Article, except as set forth in Section 15.3.
The obligations set forth in this Section shall survive expiration or
termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years, except that, with
respect to any confidential information designated by the disclosing Party as a
trade secret, and entitled to protection as such, the obligations set forth in
this Section shall survive such expiration or termination indefinitely.
17
EXECUTION COPY CONFIDENTIAL
15.2 PERMITTED DISCLOSURES. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, neither
Provider nor Customer shall be required to hold confidential any information
that:
(a) becomes publicly available other than through the recipient;
(b) is required to be disclosed by a governmental, regulatory
authority, or judicial order, rule, or regulation or proceedings with respect to
this Agreement or a Party's obligations as a publicly held company, provided
that a Party subject to such requirement shall promptly notify the other Party
of such requirement;
(c) is independently developed by the disclosing Party;
(d) becomes available to the disclosing Party without restriction from
a third party;
(e) to the extent disclosure by the receiving Party as required by
applicable law or regulation.
15.3 GOODWILL AND PUBLICITY. Neither Party shall use the name, trade name,
service mark, or trademark of the other in any promotional or advertising
material without the prior written consent of the other. Provided each Party
consents, the Parties shall coordinate and cooperate with each other when making
public announcements related to the terms of this Agreement and each Party shall
have the right to promptly review, comment upon, and approve any publicity
materials, press releases, or other public statements by the other Party that
refer to, or that describe any aspect of, this Agreement.
ARTICLE XVI. PROHIBITION ON IMPROPER PAYMENTS
Neither Party shall use any funds received under this Agreement for illegal or
otherwise "improper" purposes. Neither Party shall pay any commission, fees or
rebates to any employee of the other Party. If either Party has reasonable cause
to believe that one of the provisions in this Article has been violated, it, or
its representative, may audit the books and records of the other Party for the
sole purpose of establishing compliance with such provisions, to the extent
reasonably necessary.
ARTICLE XVII. FORCE MAJEURE; EMINENT DOMAIN
17.1 EXCUSED PERFORMANCE. Neither Provider nor Customer shall be in default
under this Agreement with respect to any delay in its performance (other than
the payment of monetary amounts due under this Agreement) caused by any Force
Majeure Event. The Party claiming relief under this Article shall promptly
notify the other in writing of the existence of the Force Majeure Event relied
on, the expected duration of the Force Majeure Event, and the cessation or
termination of the Force Majeure Event. The Party claiming relief under this
Article shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the time for
any such delay.
17.2 EMINENT DOMAIN. Should any portion of a Collocation Site or the Customer
Fibers be acquired by eminent domain, nationalization, or expropriation (each of
which, a "Taking") by any authority or entity possessing such power, then each
Party shall be excused from performance of its obligations to the extent
provided in Section 17.1. Provider shall give Customer notice of any proposed
Taking
18
EXECUTION COPY CONFIDENTIAL
within fifteen (15) days of Provider itself receiving notice of any proceedings.
In the proceeding for any such Taking or an involuntary discontinuance of the
use of a portion of the Collocation Site or the Customer Fibers in anticipation
of a Taking, the interests of Customer and Provider in the affected portion
shall be severed. Any awards resulting from the proceeding or otherwise provided
shall be allocated between Customer and Provider in accordance with such
interests. In addition, Customer and Provider shall each be entitled to claim
and receive the portion of the total award attributable to its interest in the
affected assets and may claim damages payable on account of relocation or
re-routing expenses relating to the Taking.
ARTICLE XVIII. SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES
18.1 OBLIGATION TO ARBITRATE. Any dispute or disagreement relating to this
Agreement or any matter arising between Customer and Provider in connection with
this Agreement which is not settled to the mutual satisfaction of Customer and
Provider within 30 calendar days from the date that either party informs the
other in writing that such dispute or disagreement exists, shall be settled by
arbitration by a single arbitrator in Chicago, Illinois, in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect
on the date that such notice is given. If the parties are unable to agree on a
single arbitrator within fifteen calendar days, the American Arbitration
Association shall select an arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be
final and binding upon the parties and shall include written findings of law and
fact, and judgment may be obtained thereon by either party in a court of
competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear the cost of preparing and
presenting its own case. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees and
expenses of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the parties unless the
award otherwise provides.
18.2 EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRATION OBLIGATION. The obligation herein to arbitrate
shall not be binding upon any party with respect to requests for preliminary
injunctions, temporary restraining orders or other procedures in a court of
competent jurisdiction to obtain interim relief when deemed necessary by such
court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending
resolution by arbitration of the actual dispute.
ARTICLE XIX. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION
19.1 INTERPRETATION. The captions or headings in this Agreement are strictly for
convenience and shall not be considered in interpreting this Agreement or as
amplifying or limiting any of its content. Words in this Agreement that import
the singular connotation shall be interpreted as plural, and words that import
the plural connotation shall be interpreted as singular, as the identity of the
Parties or objects referred to may require. References to "person" or "entity"
each include natural persons and legal entities, including corporations, limited
liability companies, partnerships, sole proprietorships, business divisions,
unincorporated associations, governmental entities, and any entities entitled to
bring an action in, or that are subject to suit in an action before, any state
or federal court of the United States. The word "including" means "including,
but not limited to." "Days" refers to calendar days, except that references to
"banking days" exclude Saturdays, Sundays and holidays during which nationally
chartered banks in the United States are authorized or required to close. Unless
expressly defined herein, words having well-known technical or trade meanings
shall be so construed.
19
EXECUTION COPY CONFIDENTIAL
19.2 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES; INSURANCE. Except as set forth to the contrary herein,
any right or remedy of Provider or Customer shall be cumulative and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, whether contained herein or not. The
provisions of Article XII (Insurance) shall not be construed as limiting the
Indemnitor's obligations pursuant to Article X (Indemnification) or other
provisions of this Agreement.
19.3 NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide any
legal rights to anyone not an executing Party of this Agreement except under the
indemnification and insurance provisions and except that Underlying Landlord and
Facility Owners/Lenders shall be entitled to rely on and have the benefit of
Sections 8.3, 10.1, 11.2 and 11.3.
19.4 AGREEMENT FULLY NEGOTIATED. This Agreement has been fully negotiated
between and jointly drafted by Provider and Customer.
19.5 INDUSTRY STANDARDS. Except as otherwise set forth herein, for the purpose
of this Agreement the normal standards of performance within the
telecommunications industry in the relevant market shall be the measure of
whether a Party's performance is reasonable and timely.
19.7 CROSS REFERENCES. Except as the context otherwise indicates, all references
to Exhibits, Articles, Sections, Subsections, Clauses, and Paragraphs refer to
provisions of this Agreement.
19.8 LIMITED EFFECT OF WAIVER. The failure of either Provider or Customer to
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the waiver thereof in any
instance, shall not be construed as a general waiver or relinquishment on its
part of any such provision, but the same shall nevertheless be and remain in
full force and effect.
19.9 APPLICABLE LAW. The domestic laws of the State of New York, without
reference to its choice of law principles, shall govern this Agreement and it
shall be construed accordingly. The laws of such state shall govern all disputes
referred to arbitration and the statute of limitations and the remedies for any
wrongs that may be found.
19.10 SEVERABILITY. If any term, covenant or condition in this Agreement shall,
to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the laws
governing this Agreement, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby, and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be valid
and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
19.11 NO PARTNERSHIP CREATED. The relationship between Provider and Customer
shall not be that of partners, agents, or joint venturers for one another, and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership
or agency agreement between them for any purposes, including federal income tax
purposes. Provider and Customer, in performing any of their obligations
hereunder, shall be independent contractors or independent parties and shall
discharge their contractual obligations at their own risk.

EXECUTION COPY CONFIDENTIAL
ARTICLE XX. ASSIGNMENT
20.1 RESTRICTIONS ON ASSIGNMENT. Except as provided in the second sentence of
this Section and Section 20.4, neither party shall assign or otherwise transfer
this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder to any other party without
the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Either party shall have the right, without the
other party's consent, to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement in whole
or in part as collateral to any lender or to any of its Affiliate's or to any
corporation into which it may be merged or consolidated or which purchases all
or substantially all of its assets.
20.2 AGREEMENT BINDS SUCCESSORS. This Agreement and each of the parties'
respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and each of their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment or transfer shall be

transferee shall continue to perform the assigning party's obligations under
this Agreement.
20.3 CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVE ASSIGNMENT. Except as otherwise stated herein, an
assignment (or other transfer) of this Agreement or a Party's rights or
obligations hereunder to any other party shall not be effective without (a)

is not required, written notice to the non-assigning Party and (b) the written
agreement of the assignee to be bound by the indemnification provisions and
limitations on liability and recourse set forth in this Agreement.

release Customer of its duties, obligations and liabilities hereunder and any
and all of the rights and interests of the transferee of such collocation
services shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
20.5 CHANGE IN CONTROL NOT AN ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding any presumptions under
applicable state law that a change in control of a Party constitutes an
assignment of an agreement, a change in control of a Party, not made for
purposes of circumventing restrictions on assignment or of depriving the other
Party of rights under this Agreement, shall not be deemed an assignment for
purposes of this Agreement.
20.6 RIGHT TO SUBCONTRACT. Provider may subcontract for testing, maintenance,
repair, restoration, relocation, or other operational and technical services it
is obligated to provide hereunder or may have the underlying facility owner or
its contractor perform such obligations.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO COLLOCATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (this "Amendment") is made by and between WILLIAMS
COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Provider"),
METROMEDIA FIBER NATIONAL NETWORK, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Customer") and
METROMEDIA FIBER NETWORK SERVICES, INC. ("MFNS") a Delaware corporation.
Background
Provider and Customer are parties to the Collocation and Maintenance Agreement
dated April 26, 2002 (the "Agreement").
On May 20, 2002, Customer and most of its direct and indirect domestic
subsidiaries, including MFNS, each filed voluntary petitions for reorganization
pursuant to Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code. (the "Bankruptcy
Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York (the "Bankruptcy Court") and Customer is currently operating its business
and managing its property as a debtor-in-possession.
The parties now wish to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms set
forth in this Amendment.
NOW THEREFORE, for mutual consideration, the value of which the parties
acknowledge, the terms of the Agreement are amended as follows:
1. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meaning
ascribed in the Agreement.
2. On the Effective Date, pursuant to Section 20.1, the Agreement as amended is
wholly assigned from Lessee to MFNS, and thereafter all references to "Customer"
refer to MFNS and MFNN is discharged from further obligation.
3. EXHIBIT A is replaced with EXHIBIT A-1, attached to this Amendment.
4. Section 2.1 is deleted and replaced with the following:
"CHARGES FOR MAINTENANCE. Customer shall pay Provider a maintenance fee of
[*****] per fiber mile, per month for the maintenance services set forth in
Article 6 of this Agreement, such amount currently totaling [*******] per month
(14,770 fiber miles x [**]). Invoices for such maintenance services shall be
issued monthly."
5. Section 3.2 is deleted and replaced with the following:
"3.2 Collocation Sites.
(a) As of the Effective Date of the First Amendment to this Agreement,
Provider agrees to provide and Customer agrees to pay for the Collocation Sites
and corresponding

number of racks identified in EXHIBIT A-1 together with associated collocation
services ordered by Customer. The current monthly invoice for collocation racks
will be [*******].
(b) Any additional requests by Customer for racks at the Collocation
Sites Set forth in Exhibit A-1 shall be considered a request for Additional
Services as defined below."
6. Section 9.4 is modified by the addition of the following sentence at the end:
"Such legal remedies include, but shall not be limited to, the termination of
this Agreement and the Fiber Agreement."
7. ASSUMPTION AND WAIVER OF SPECIFIC CLAIMS. Following the assumption of the
Agreement, if the Agreement is terminated due to Lessee's failure to perform or
its rejection thereof, nothing herein constitutes a waiver of Williams
Communications' right to a general unsecured claim for all outstanding
pre-petition amounts owed under the Agreement and an administrative claim for
post-petition damages caused by any breach of the Agreement, or of the right of
MFN or any party in interest to object to any such claim. Any and all
administrative expense claims will require Williams Communications to satisfy
the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code to establish the claim and is without
prejudice to any other party's right to contest such claim.
8. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Amendment is effective upon the date of the last
signature hereto ("Effective Date"). The parties agree that the new monthly
billing rate as specified in paragraph 5 of this Amendment is effective October
1, 2002. To be sure, any invoices rendered during September 2002 for October
services, will be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties acknowledge that the Amendment must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court
pursuant to an order, in form and substance acceptable to Provider and Customer,
which provides for, among other things, the following: (i) assumption of the
Agreement, as amended, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii)
a finding that the parties negotiated the Amendment at arm's length and in good
faith. If such approval is not obtained on or before October 17, 2002 or such
later date as the parties may agree to, this Amendment will be null and void and
of no force or effect and Customer agrees to pay the difference between the
amended amounts invoiced for October and the actual amounts owed under the
Agreement.
9. Except as amended, all of the original terms and conditions of the Agreement
continue in full force and effect, neither party is in currently in default, and
the Agreement, as amended is hereby ratified and confirmed.
10. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which taken together
constitute one and the same instrument.
