Reseller monthly. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties,

5.4 Charges which are not paid by the due date stated on ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic's ▇▇▇▇ shall be subject to a late payment charge. The late
payment charge shall be in an amount specified by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic, which
shall not exceed a rate of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) of the
over-due amount (including any unpaid, previously billed late payment
charges) per month.
5.5 Reseller acknowledges and agrees that:
5.5.1 During the term of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic will be engaged
in developing and deploying new or modified forms of bills for
Telecommunications Carriers who are engaged in the resale of ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic Retail Telecommunications
6
Services and new or modified systems and methods for computing and
rendering such bills.
5.5.2 Prior to the completion of deployment of such new or modified
forms of bills and such new or modified systems and methods for computing
and rendering bills, ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic's form of ▇▇▇▇ and systems and methods
for computing and rendering bills may be subject to limitations and
restrictions, including, but not limited to, the limitations stated in
Section 5.5.3, below, the inability to provide Reseller with a single,
consolidated ▇▇▇▇ for all ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services purchased by Reseller,
and the unavailability of bills and billing information in an electronic
form (e.g., bills may be rendered in a paper form).
5.5.3 Prior to the completion of deployment of the new or modified
forms of bills and the new or modified systems and methods for computing
and rendering bills, ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic may apply the discount identified in
Exhibit II, Section 1.1, in a manner (including, but not limited to, in a
"bottom-of-the-▇▇▇▇" format) that results in the Exhibit II, Section 1.1
discount being applied to charges stated in the ▇▇▇▇ (including, but not
limited to, Subscriber Line Charges, Federal Line Cost Charges, end user
common line charges, carrier selection and change charges, Audiotex
Service charges, and charges for services which are not ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic
Retail Telecommunications Services) which are not subject to the Exhibit
II, Section 1.1 discount. ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic will implement a "true-up"
process and within six (6) months after the due date of each monthly
▇▇▇▇, issue to Reseller a "true-up" ▇▇▇▇ for amounts which were not
collected from Reseller under the monthly ▇▇▇▇ because of the application
of the Exhibit II, Section 1.1 discount to charges which are not subject
to the Exhibit II, Section 1.1 discount. The "true-up" ▇▇▇▇ may be
issued as a part of or an entry on a monthly ▇▇▇▇, as a ▇▇▇▇ separate
from a monthly ▇▇▇▇, or in such other form as ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic may
determine.
5.6 Although it is the intent of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic to submit timely and
accurate bills, failure by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic to present bills (including, but
not limited to, monthly bills and "true-up" bills) to Reseller in a
timely or accurate manner shall not constitute a breach or default of
this Agreement, or a waiver of a right of payment of the incurred
charges, by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic. Reseller shall not be entitled to dispute
charges for ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services provided by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic based on
▇▇▇▇ Atlantic's failure to submit a ▇▇▇▇ for the charges in a timely
fashion.

Atlantic gives Reseller written notice of the failure to pay the amount
in dispute, Reseller (a) gives ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic written notice of the

24. OPTION TO OBTAIN ▇▇▇▇ ATLANTIC SERVICE UNDER OTHER AGREEMENTS
24.1 If, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic

terms and conditions (including prices) of the Third-Person
Telecommunications Carrier agreement, this Agreement shall be amended
to incorporate the terms and conditions (including prices) from the
Third-Person Telecommunications Carrier agreement applicable to the
▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Service Reseller has elected to purchase pursuant to the
terms and conditions (including prices) of the Third-Person
Telecommunications Carrier agreement. Except as otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by the Parties, the amendment shall apply on a
prospective basis only and shall not apply with regard to any ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic Service provided by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic to Reseller prior to the
effective date of the amendment.
24.2 To the extent the exercise of the foregoing option requires a
rearrangement of facilities by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic, Reseller shall be liable

governmental action materially affects any material terms of this
Agreement, the ability of either Party to perform any material terms of
this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of either Party under this
Agreement, the Parties shall take such action as shall be necessary to
conform this Agreement to the governmental action and/or to permit ▇▇▇▇

above, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic shall

pay for, any ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services affected by the governmental action
until the action to be taken by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic and Reseller under Section
26.3, above, is taken and becomes effective in accordance with Applicable
Law. Such continued provision of and subscription to, use of and payment
20
for, the affected ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services shall be in accordance with the
terms (including prices) of this Agreement, unless other terms, including
but not limited to the terms of a ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Tariff, are required by
Applicable Law.
26.5 If suspension or termination of the provision of any ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic Service is required by or as a result of a governmental action,
such suspension or termination shall not affect Reseller's subscription
to, use or obligation to pay for, other ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services, unless
such suspension or termination has a material, adverse effect on
Reseller's ability to use the other ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services.
26.6 If any of the ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services to be provided by ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic pursuant to a tariff shall at any time become detariffed or

relay service, or universal service fund, surcharge), or other
tax-like charge (a "Tax") is required or permitted by Applicable Law
to be collected from Reseller by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic, then (a) to the extent
required by Applicable Law, ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic shall ▇▇▇▇ Reseller for such
Tax, (b) Reseller shall timely remit such Tax to ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic
(including both Taxes billed by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic and Taxes Reseller is
required by Applicable Law to remit without billing by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic),
and (c) ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic shall remit such collected Tax to the applicable
taxing authority.
36.2 With respect to any purchase of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services under
this Agreement, if any Tax is imposed by Applicable Law on the receipts
of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic, which Applicable Law permits ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic to exclude
certain receipts received from sales of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services for resale
by Reseller, such exclusion being based on the
26
fact that Reseller is also subject to a Tax based upon receipts
("Receipts Tax"), then Reseller (a) shall provide ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic with
notice in writing in accordance with Section 36.7 of its intent to pay
the Receipts Tax, and (b) shall timely pay the Receipts Tax to the
applicable taxing authority.
36.3 With respect to any purchase of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services under
this Agreement, that are resold by Reseller to a Reseller Customer, if
any Tax is imposed by Applicable Law on the Reseller Customer in
connection with the Reseller Customer's purchase of the resold ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic Services which Reseller is required to impose and/or collect
from the Reseller Customer, then Reseller (a) shall impose and/or collect
such Tax from the Reseller Customer, and (b) shall timely remit such Tax
to the applicable taxing authority.
36.4.1 If ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic has not received an exemption certificate from
Reseller and fails to ▇▇▇▇ Reseller for any Tax as required by Section
36.1, then, as between ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic and Reseller, (a) Reseller shall
remain liable for such unbilled Tax, and (b) ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic shall be
liable for any interest and/or penalty assessed on the unbilled Tax by
the applicable taxing authority.
36.4.2 If Reseller fails to remit any Tax to ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic as required
by Section 36. 1, then, as between ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic and Reseller, Reseller
shall be liable for such uncollected Tax and any interest and/or penalty
assessed on the uncollected Tax by the applicable taxing authority.
36.4.3 If ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic does not collect a Tax because Reseller has
provided ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic with an exemption certificate which is later found
to be inadequate by the applicable taxing authority, then, as between
▇▇▇▇ Atlantic and Reseller, Reseller shall be liable for such uncollected
Tax and any interest and/or penalty assessed on the uncollected Tax by
the Applicable taxing authority.
36.4.4 Except as provided in Section 36.4.5, if Reseller fails to pay
the Receipts Tax as required by Section 36.2, then, as between ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic and Reseller, (a) ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic shall be liable for any Tax
imposed on ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic's receipts, (b) Reseller shall be liable for any
interest and/or penalty imposed on ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic with respect to the Tax
on ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic's receipts, and (c) Reseller shall be liable for any Tax
imposed on Reseller's receipts and any interest and/or penalty assessed
by the applicable taxing authority on Reseller with respect to the Tax on
Reseller's receipts.
36.4.5 If any discount or portion of a discount in price provided to
Reseller under this Agreement (including, but not limited to a discount
provided for in Exhibit II, Section 1.1) represents Tax savings to ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic which it was anticipated ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic would receive, because it
was anticipated that receipts from sales of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services, that
would otherwise be subject to a Tax on such receipts, could be excluded
from such Tax under Applicable Law because the ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Services
would be sold to
27
Reseller for resale, and ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic is, in fact, required by
Applicable Law to pay such Tax on receipts from sales of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic
Services to Reseller, then, as between ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic and Reseller, (a)
Reseller shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic against (on an after-tax basis), any such Tax, and (b) Reseller
shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic
against (on an after-tax basis), any interest and/or penalty assessed by
the applicable taxing authority on either Reseller or ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic with
respect to the Tax on ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic's receipts.
36.4.6 If Reseller fails to impose and/or collect any Tax from Reseller
Customers as required by Section 36.3, then, as between ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic and
Reseller, Reseller shall remain liable for such uncollected Tax and any
interest and/or penalty assessed on such uncollected Tax by the
applicable taxing authority.
36.4.7 With respect to any Tax that Reseller has agreed to pay, is
responsible for because Reseller received a discount in price on ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic Services attributable to anticipated Tax savings by ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic, or is required to impose on and/or collect from Reseller
Customers, Reseller agrees to indemnify and hold ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic harmless
on an after-tax basis for any costs incurred by ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic as a result
of actions taken by the applicable taxing authority to recover the Tax
from ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic due to failure of Reseller to timely remit the Tax to
▇▇▇▇ Atlantic, or timely pay, or collect and timely remit, the Tax to the
taxing authority.
36.5 If either Party is audited by a taxing authority, the other
Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Party being audited in
order to respond to any audit inquiries in a proper and timely manner so
that the audit and/or any resulting controversy may be resolved
expeditiously.
36.6.1 If Applicable Law clearly exempts a purchase of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic
Services under this Agreement from a Tax, and if such Applicable Law also
provides an exemption procedure, such as an exemption certificate
requirement, then, if Reseller complies with such procedure, ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic shall not collect such Tax during the effective period of the
exemption. Such exemption shall be effective upon receipt of the
exemption certificate or affidavit in accordance with Section 36.7.
36.6.2 If Applicable Law clearly exempts a purchase of ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic
Services under this Agreement from a Tax, but does not also provide an
exemption procedure, then ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic shall not collect such Tax if
Reseller (a) furnishes ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic with a letter signed by an officer
of Reseller requesting an exemption and citing the provision in the
Applicable Law which clearly allows such exemption, and (b) supplies ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic with an indemnification agreement, reasonably acceptable to ▇▇▇▇
Atlantic, which holds ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic harmless on an after-tax basis with
respect to forbearing to collect such Tax.
28
36.7 All notices, affidavits, exemption certificates or other
communications required or permitted to be given by either Party to the
other under this Section 36, shall be made in writing and shall be sent
by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by a

procedures for use and assignment of telephone numbers, as amended from
time-to-time.
38.2 Subject to Sections 38.1 and 38.3, if an end user who subscribes
to a ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Retail Telecommunications Service dial tone line from
either Reseller or ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic changes the Telecommunications Carrier
from whom the end user subscribes for such dial tone line (including a
change from ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic to Reseller, from Reseller to ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic, or
from Reseller to a Telecommunications Carrier other than ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic),
after such change, the end user may continue to use with the dial tone
line the telephone numbers which were assigned to the dial tone line by
▇▇▇▇ Atlantic immediately prior to the change.
38.3 ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic shall have the right to change the telephone
numbers used by an end user if at any time: (a) the type or class of
