3.5 COMPLIANCE WITH NET-ABUSE POLICY: Wholesaler, End-Users, and any other

violations or a pattern of violations which Wholesaler fails to stop after
reasonable notice in light of the circumstances, or if Wholesaler permits the

4.2 END-USER BILLING/INVOICING:
CISP will generate recurring invoices for Wholesaler's End-Users based on the
account charges and account types for each End-User that is active or can
access services for any given month based on policies Wholesaler has setup in
the Control Panel. If Wholesaler supplies CISP valid merchant account
information and if Wholesaler purchases and supplies CISP a licensed copy of
ICVerify software, CISP will process Wholesaler's End-User credit cards and
apply credit card payments to outstanding End-User balances. CISP shall collect
credit card billing data for Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover
cards only, dependent upon what the Wholesaler's merchant account allows,
including the identity of End Users who are authorized in any given month to
have Dial-up Access Services to the network(s). Transfer of the data as
determined by CISP shall be made to banking institution or other entity
designated by Wholesaler to assess the charges on the End User's credit cards
and perform credit card clearing functions. The services provided by CISP
hereunder by CISP shall be referred to as "Credit Card Information Services."
Provision of the Credit Card Information Services is contingent upon Wholesaler
establishing business rules and offering to its End Users pricing and billing
terms (including but not limited to credit card acceptance and rejection,
initiation or registration fees, credits back to End Users, pro-rating of
monthly charges, and the like) that are fully compatible with the capabilities
and requirements of CISP at the support levels determined by Wholesaler by use
of the CISP Control panel. Wholesaler is solely and exclusively responsible for
its billing, credit, pricing, pro-rating, and refund policies (if any), and the
consequences thereof, without in any manner affecting Wholesaler's payment
obligations to CISP under the agreement. CISP will only be responsible for
Credit card processing and shall not be required to enter any other End-User
payments, credits or debits, nor will we be responsible for any modification to
End-User information. Wholesaler shall be exclusively responsible for preparing
and mailing of all End-User invoices.
5. PAYMENT.
5.1 PAYMENT TERMS: CISP agrees to invoice Wholesaler monthly by e-mail, fax
and/or postal mail based upon the services assigned to or used by Wholesaler's
End-Users in any given month for all fees for Services under this Agreement as
set forth in the Form. All invoices are payable within fifteen (15) days of date
of invoice (the "Due Date"). Delinquent payments are subject to a late payment
charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00). In the event Wholesaler does not remit payment
within five (5) days after the Due Date, CISP may, at its option and without
prior written notice, suspend Services to Wholesaler and/or End-Users; or as an
alternative to such suspension, and at its sole option, CISP may terminate this
Agreement for material breach under the provisions of Section 5. In the event
CISP chooses not to exercise its option to terminate, CISP shall resume
providing Services as soon as is reasonably practicable upon receipt of such
payment, and in such event Wholesaler shall pay CISP an account reactivation fee
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), which shall be invoiced and paid in
accordance with this Section. Wholesaler shall be exclusively responsible for
all pricing and service plans, billing and collections with respect to
End-Users. Wholesaler is solely responsible for establishing and collecting
End-User fees for Services sold to End-Users and for preparing and mailing
invoices to End-Users. Wholesaler is responsible for payment of all CISP charges
regardless of whether Wholesaler is paid by its End-Users.
5.2 ASSURANCE OF PAYMENT: Wholesaler agrees to furnish CISP with a major
credit card subject to CISP's approval as a source of assurance of payment for
any payment not made by the Due Date, and subscription of this Agreement
constitutes authorization from Wholesaler to CISP to use such credit card for
payment of any invoice not paid by the Due Date. CISP agrees to use reasonable
efforts to charge the card for payment. Wholesaler agrees to reimburse CISP for
administrative fees incurred as a result of such action in an amount not to
exceed five percent (5%) of the total monthly amount billed.
5.3 TAXES: All charges to Wholesaler hereunder are exclusive of federal, state,
local and foreign sales, use, excise, utility, gross receipts and value added
(VAT) taxes and other similar tax-like charges, including tax-related surcharges
or applicable tariffs, which Wholesaler agrees to pay. In the event that
Wholesaler provides CISP with a duly authorized exemption certificate, CISP
agrees to exempt Wholesaler in accordance with the law, effective on the date
the exemption certificate is received by CISP.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION.
6.1 TERM: The initial term of this Agreement shall be as set forth in the Form
beginning on the Acceptance Date set forth below. Following the initial term,
this Agreement will be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms
unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its intention not to
renew at least ninety (90) days prior to the date of the next renewal.
6.2 TERMINATION: Either party may terminate this Agreement (a) if the other
party has materially breached this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach
within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party has given written notice
clearly specifying such breach, or (b) by CISP without cause by providing
Wholesaler with written notice to terminate at least ninety (90) days prior to
the effective date of termination. Additionally, CISP may terminate this
agreement, with written notice to Wholesaler but without the cure period
specified above, upon (a) breach by Wholesaler of its payment obligations,
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 4, (b) if Wholesaler has not
incurred over One Hundred Dollars ($100) of usage for services for a successive
three (3) month period or (c) violation of Sections 3.1 or 3.5 of this
Agreement, pursuant to the procedures set forth herein, but without the cure
period only if, in CISP's sole good faith judgment, delaying termination during
such cure period will cause substantial injury to CISP or to the Network. In the
event of any End-User's violation of Section 3.4, CISP reserves the right, in
its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate any or all of such End-User's
Services immediately with written or e-mail notice to Wholesaler.

regulations, viruses which did not result from the acts or omissions of CISP,
its employees or agents, national emergencies, insurrections, riots or wars, or
strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or other labor difficulties. The time for any
performance required hereunder shall be extended by the delay incurred as a
result of such act of force majeure, and CISP shall act with diligence to

default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or
default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or

conditions of this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be effective only

herein, and except as so provided, all provisions hereof, shall be personal
solely between the parties to this Agreement.

"Wholesale Service Agreement" (the "Agreement") whereby CISP is to provide
access to services for resale for the benefit of Wholesale Client's End-Users;
and
WHEREAS, the parties wish to modify the Agreement as set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, for the consideration set forth in the Agreement and for other
good and valuable consideration, the Agreement is hereby amended as follows;
DAE.1 Additional Service Definitions
DAE.1.1 Dial Up Access: "Dial Up Access" means CISP's making available logical
ports on access servers in its Points of Presence (POPs) or contracted POPs,
under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to receive incoming analog
(Single Channel) or ISDN (Dual Channel) calls from an End-User to establish a
TCP/IP connection between a single Host and CISP's Network(s) and the Internet
and/or to authenticate End-Users for this purpose. Wholesale Customer may select
any one of the presently available networks at the prices indicated in the Form.
DAE.2 Additional Resale of Services
DAE.2.1 Dial Up Access; CISP shall provide to Wholesale Customer, for resale to
its End-Users, Dial Up Access through either analog or digital dialup telephone
service, for the fees set forth in the Form per Channel assigned to or used by
Wholesale Customer's End-Users in any given month. Each End-User is solely and
exclusively responsible for obtaining analog or ISDN telephone service to place
the data call to CISP's POP, and for all charges relating to such service
(unless Wholesale Customer assumes such obligations on behalf of its End-Users).
DAE.2.2 Forecast: Wholesale Customer agrees provide to CISP, on a monthly basis
in conjunction with the Monthly Account Review described in the ISP Service
Specifications, a quarterly rolling forecast of the number of End-Users expected
to purchase each type of Service and the CISP POPs to which they are expected to
connect. Wholesale Customer may order Dial Up Access on behalf of its present
or future End-Users and there shall be no limit on the number of End-Users who
may use the Network; provided, however, that CISP may refuse Wholesale
Customer's requests to add additional End-Users because there is insufficient
capacity on the Network or in the POP to provide Dial Up Access to the number of
End-Users requested.
DAE.2.3 CISP POPS: CISP may install new POPs, close an existing POP, and/or
change the Services offered at an existing POP as it, in its sole discretion,
deems appropriate. In the event CISP deems it necessary to close an existing
POP, CISP shall provide Wholesale Customer with ten (10) days written notice
thereof.
DAE.4 Technical Support Primary Objective: CISP's support staff's primary
objective for Dial-Up Access is to get the end-user connected to the Internet. A
list of supported software is available online at the Client Website and will be
supported solely by a Generic Technical Support website which we maintain.
End-users will be instructed to visit the Generic Technical Support Website or
website specified by Wholesale Customer for any non-connection related calls.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this exhibit to be executed
in duplicate as of the date hereinbelow.
