CAIS INTERNET SERVICE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS Access to the CAIS, Inc. network is provided subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. CAIS, Inc. (CAIS) exercises no control over the content of the information passing through it. 2. CAIS makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed or implied, for the service it is providing. CAIS also disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. CAIS will not be responsible for any damages Customer suffers. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, nondeliveries, misdeliveries or service interruptions caused by Customer or CAIS' negligence, errors or omissions, or due to inadvertent release or disclosure of information sent by Customer. 3. CAIS' service may only be used for lawful purposes. Unauthorized transmission or storage of any information, data, or material in violation of any Federal or state law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material that is obscene or material protected by trade secret. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CAIS from any claims (including CAIS' attorneys fees) resulting from Customer's use of the service which damages Customer or another party or parties. 4. Access to CAIS' service is subject to compliance with CAIS' Acceptable Use Policies. Any access to other networks connected to CAIS' network must comply with the rules for that other network. 5. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice. Accounts are in default if payment is not received within 15 days after date of invoice. If Customer payment is returned to CAIS unpaid, Customer is immediately in default and subject to a returned check charge of $25 from CAIS. Accounts unpaid 30 days after date of invoice may have their service interrupted. Such interruption does not relieve Customer from the obligation to pay the monthly account charge. Only a written request to terminate Customer's service relieves Customer of Customer's obligation to pay subsequent monthly account charges subject to notice requirements contained in the applicable Schedule(s). Accounts in default are subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month or Customer's state's legal maximum allowable rate, whichever is less. If Customer defaults, Customer agrees to pay CAIS its reasonable expenses, including attorney and collecting agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under these terms and conditions. An act of default accelerates payments to be due immediately, as credit is no longer being extended. 6. The initial term of the agreement, the terms under which this agreement may be extended or canceled, and the nonrecurring and recurring fees for the services provided under this Agreement are contained in the applicable Schedule(s). CAIS reserves the right to change the rates and otherwise modify these terms and conditions by notifying Customer 60 days in advance of the effective date of the change. All telephone company fees represent a pass through of telephone company charges and are subject to change without notice. These terms and conditions supersede all previous representations, understandings or agreements and shall prevail notwithstanding any variance with terms and conditions of any order submitted. Termination/Cancellation If service is cancelled by Customer prior to the completion of the Initial Term, Customer shall remain obligated to pay CAIS Monthly Recurring fees (i) through the completion of the Initial Term, (ii) through the effective termination date requested by Customer, or (ii) through the completion of the 60 day period following CAIS' receipt of written notice from Customer or Customer's intent to terminate the agreement, whichever is later. Customer, further, shall be responsible for all Telephone Company fees (i) through the effective termination date requested by Customer, or (ii) through the completion of the 60 day period following CAIS' receipt of written notice from Customer or Customer's intent to terminate the agreement, whichever is later. Following completion of the Initial Term, this agreement will continue in effect on a month-to-month basis until such time as either party provides the other party with advance written notice of its intent to terminate the agreement, such notice to be provided at least 60 days prior to the effective termination date, and Customer to be responsible for all CAIS and Telephone Company fees through the effective termination date requested by Customer, or (ii) through the completion of the 60 day period following CAIS' receipt of written notice from Customer or Customer's intent to terminate the agreement, whichever is later.

This is paid for directly by Hongkong Telecom. Note 2: UUNET's flat rate T3 at $28,000 per months runs for the first 8 months only. After the 8th month, the rate changes to the Standard Rate for UUNET Burstable T3 service and could be up to $55,000 per month depending on usage. Note 3: Cross Connect to UUNET at PAIX is paid for directly by Hongkong Telecom. Note 4: Circuits The installation date for the physical circuits (for connecting to CAIS POP and Sprint POP respectively) is scheduled for December 5, 1997. CAIS will use its best effort to delay the circuit to Sprint POP if Hongkong Telecom's T3 circuit across the Pacific is delayed beyond December 5. However, Hongkong Telecom agrees to begin payment of those circuits as soon as they are installed and tested, regardless of whether or not the Hongkong Telecom circuit across the Pacific is available. Note 5: Transit Services In the event that the availability of the Hongkong Telecom T3 Circuit across the Pacific is delayed beyond December 5, 1997, CAIS will use its best efforts on behalf of Hongkong Telecom to delay the Internet Transit billing from UUNET and Sprint respectively. In the event however, UUNET and/or Sprint refuse to extend the billing commencement dates and begin to charge for their transit services, Hongkong Telecom's payment obligation to CAIS shall begin at such time(s).
