Ameritech an invoice summarizing the various non-Transmission Services
charges incurred by Ameritech during the immediately preceding month.
Quest shall on a weekly basis prepare and deliver to Ameritech an
invoice summarizing the various Transmission Services charges incurred

Quest's name, but said account shall be subject to a restriction that
payments into the account from Ameritech must be automatically
forwarded by the bank to one (1) or more Carriers specified by
Ameritech and Quest, and those forwarding instructions
4
cannot be altered or canceled without both Quest's and Ameritech's
prior written consent. Any invoice that is not paid when due,
including any disputed payment withheld by Ameritech pending
resolution of the dispute with Quest which is subsequently determined
to be due and owing to Quest, shall be subject to a late fee
calculated using the prime rate (the average rate published in The
---
Wall Street Journal on the payment due date) plus two percent (2%).

during the term of this Agreement and for each week thereafter until

therefor within twenty (20) business days after receipt of such invoice.
The non-disputing party shall respond to the disputing party in writing
within ten (10) business days of its receipt of such a notice. If the
dispute is not resolved as a result of the response, Ameritech and Quest
shall in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute through mediation and
arbitration in accordance with ARTICLE XI hereof.
4.3 AUDIT.
(A) Upon reasonable advance written notice to Quest, Ameritech shall be
entitled from time to time (but no more frequently than every six (6)
months) to audit (a) Quest's books and records to confirm the accuracy
of charges invoiced by Quest to Ameritech, (b) the End User database
of information to verify its accuracy and completeness, and (c)
Quest's personnel and methods and procedures to verify Quest's
compliance with this Agreement. Any such audit shall be performed at
reasonably convenient times for the Parties and during normal business
hours. Any audit of the accuracy and completeness of Quest's invoices
to Ameritech shall be limited to transactions underlying those
invoices submitted within one (1) year of Ameritech's request for the
audit. If any audit conducted by Ameritech reveals a discrepancy of
five percent (5%) or more, then Quest shall reimburse Ameritech's
reasonable audit expenses. Nothing herein shall give Ameritech the
right to have access to any information other than that information
related to Ameritech's account.
(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ameritech shall be entitled to place
one (1) or more of its employees and/or consultants at Quest's
facilities in order to audit the accuracy, correctness and
completeness of the Carrier's bills to Quest for Wholesale
Transmission Services sold by Quest to Ameritech. Quest shall furnish
such employees/consultants reasonable accommodations, facilities and
assistance in this effort, and Ameritech shall reimburse Quest for any
reasonable out of pocket expenses (to include such expenses as
telephone charges but not to include an allocation for rent, lights,
heat, etc.) incurred by Quest in providing such accommodations,
facilities and assistance. If Quest requests and they have time,
Ameritech will direct those employees/consultants to also audit the
accuracy, correctness and completeness of the Carrier's bills to Quest
for Retail Transmission Services provided by Quest to Ameritech's
Customers and/or End Users, in which event Quest shall reimburse
Ameritech for a pro rata portion of the employees'/consultants' time
and expenses based on Ameritech's portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ ▇▇▇▇ in
relation to Quest's portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ ▇▇▇▇.

responsible for responding to billing inquiries from its Customers and End
Users, unless Ameritech has purchased that type of customer service from

involving its Customers, and the inability to collect payment from its
Customers and End Users shall not affect Ameritech's obligation to make the
payments to Quest required herein.

ARTICLE VI
CONFIDENTIALITY
---------------
6.1 DUTY OF CARE. Each Party acknowledges that any Confidential Information
which may be provided to it by the other Party or which may be generated by
a Party in performing its obligations under this Agreement may have
substantial value to the Disclosing Party. Accordingly, each Receiving
Party agrees to take all reasonable and necessary steps to preserve the
confidentiality of all Confidential Information received from a Disclosing
Party, whether generated and/or communicated in writing, electronically,
orally, or otherwise. A receiving Party shall use not less than the same
degree of care to avoid disclosure of such Confidential Information as it
uses with respect to its own proprietary and confidential information of
like importance and, at a minimum, shall exercise reasonable care.
6.2 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
Information" shall include, without limitation, the terms of this
Agreement, Ameritech's Customer and End User lists and associated
information, Quest's rates or agreements with its Carriers, and such other
confidential engineering, technical, financial, business, marketing,
promotional, usage and sales data as a Disclosing Party shall designate as
"confidential," either in writing or orally.
6.3 RESTRICTIONS ON USE AND DISCLOSURE. Each Party recognizes and acknowledges
that a Disclosing Party is disclosing Confidential Information solely to
facilitate full performance of this Agreement by both Parties and each
Receiving Party agrees to, and shall, use the Confidential Information
disclosed to it by the Disclosing Party solely in furtherance of this
purpose and not for any other purpose. A Receiving Party shall restrict
disclosure of Confidential Information to such of its directors, officers,
employees, and agents as shall have obligated themselves in writing to
comply with the restrictions on use and disclosure contained in this
Agreement and who have a reasonable need to know such information for such
purpose and shall reproduce such information only to the extent necessary
for such purpose. A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information
to a Consultant, but if it does so, it must ensure that the Consultant is
obligated in writing to abide by the restrictions on use and disclosure
contained in this Agreement and that the Confidential Information bears
appropriate legends or statements indicating the confidential and/or
proprietary nature of the information. A receiving Party shall be liable
for any violation of the provisions of this ARTICLE VI by any such
Consultant. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, a Receiving
Party shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party.
7
* Portions of this Agreement have been redacted to preserve the Company's
confidential information.
6.4 EXCEPTIONS. The restrictions on disclosure by a Receiving Party of
Confidential Information shall not apply to: (i) information which at the
time of disclosure was generally available to the public; (ii) information
which subsequent to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving
Party is published or otherwise becomes available to the public through
means other than an act or omission of the Receiving Party; (iii)
information which was previously known to the Receiving Party free of any
obligation to keep it confidential or which is subsequently and
independently developed in good faith by the Receiving Party without
reference to or use of the Confidential Information; and (iv) information
rightfully acquired by a receiving Party in good faith from a third party
on a non-confidential basis without breach of an agreement to maintain said
information in confidence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, a Receiving Party may disclose confidential Information if required
to do so by law, or if ordered to do so by a court or other governmental
authority of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that a Receiving
Party shall provide the Disclosing Party prior written notice of any such
mandated disclosure and exercise its best efforts, consistent with sound
business practice, both to afford the Disclosing Party an opportunity to
contest the disclosure and to itself limit the extent of the disclosure to
the maximum extent practicable. Upon the requests of the Disclosing Party,
the Receiving Party shall use its best efforts to negotiate with any court
or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that has compelled such
disclosure an appropriate protective order that would permit review of any
Confidential Information only by the court or appropriate staff of the
governmental authority and would limit any further disclosure to the
maximum extent possible.
6.5 OWNERSHIP. Confidential Information disclosed to and/or generated by a
Receiving Party is and shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party.
By disclosing the Confidential Information to a Receiving Party, the
Disclosing Party does not relinquish any of its proprietary rights and
interests therein and hereby specifically reserves all such proprietary
rights and interests to said Confidential Information. A Receiving Party
shall return (or, with the consent of the Disclosing Party, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, destroy) all Confidential Information and all
copies thereof, including, without limitation, written and electronic
copies, as well as all summaries, notes, or other documents, materials or
things containing Confidential Information, to the Disclosing Party
promptly upon the reasonable written requests of the Disclosing Party and
upon termination of this Agreement.
6.6 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by a
Receiving Party or its agents of the terms of this ARTICLE VI, the
Disclosing Party shall be entitled to an injunction prohibiting such breach
in addition to other legal and equitable remedies available to it in
connection with such breach. Each Party acknowledges that the Confidential
Information of the other Party is valuable and unique and that the use or
disclosure of such Confidential Information in breach of this Agreement
will result in irreparable injury to the other Party.
6.7 SURVIVAL. The Parties hereby agree that the confidentiality and non-use
undertakings reflected in this ARTICLE VI shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.
