MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT

1. BASIC AGREEMENT. The Master Service Agreement and the agreements and documents referenced herein constitute a contract (collectively, 'Agreement'). Customer has agreed to purchase the services ('Services') selected on each individual attached Service Order (collectively, the 'Service Orders' and each, a 'Service Order'), or authorized telephonically by the customer subject to recorded Third Party Verification, and such additional Services as may be ordered by Customer from BULLSEYE TELECOM from time to time in the future, on these terms and conditions, and such other terms and conditions identified in the Agreement, including the terms set forth in the specific Service Terms and Conditions ('Service Terms and Conditions'), which can be found at www.bullseyetelecom.com.  If Customer does not have access to the electronic version of the Service Terms and Conditions, a hard copy will be provided upon request.  Customer agrees to comply with all such terms and conditions and to timely pay for all Services. Customer is responsible for verifying that all Customer information on the Service Order is complete and accurate and reflects Customer's intentions. To the extent any terms or conditions in this Master Service Agreement are inconsistent with the terms set forth in the Service Terms and Conditions, the terms set forth in the Service Terms and Conditions will govern.

2. PROVISION OF SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, BULLSEYE TELECOM shall provide to Customer the Services solely for Customer's own use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party. Customer may allow its employees, agents, and other users to access the Services on Customer's behalf, provided Customer communicates the terms and conditions of this Agreement to all potential users, and obtains from each user (or, in the case of a minor user, from the parent or legal guardian) a substantively equivalent agreement that limits the liability of BULLSEYE TELECOM as described in this Agreement. Customer takes full responsibility for the use of the Services by any minors and hereby consents to such minors' use of the Services. The Services provided by BULLSEYE TELECOM to the Customer are not for resale without the prior written agreement of BULLSEYE TELECOM. In the event the Customer attempts to sell the Services, including the routing of Internet Protocol traffic from other individuals or organizations, BULLSEYE TELECOM must be notified. In such case, BULLSEYE TELECOM may, at its sole discretion, increase the fees associated with the Services rendered hereunder, or terminate this Agreement, pursuant to the termination provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions.

3. CPNI NOTIFICATION AND CONSENT SOLICITATION. BULLSEYE TELECOM's ability to deliver superior service is enhanced by having access to Customer account records for marketing purposes. Customers have the right, and BULLSEYE TELECOM has the duty, to protect the confidentiality of information such as the types and amounts of Services Customers buy from BULLSEYE TELECOM and what Customers pay for those services. This information is known as Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI). BULLSEYE TELECOM is required to get a Customer's permission before using CPNI to offer Customer any additional Services outside the product category currently subscribed to by the Customer. BULLSEYE TELECOM will not share information regarding a Customer's account unless required to do so by law. Customer's service will not be affected regardless of whether or not a customer allows BULLSEYE TELECOM use of the CPNI.

4. UPGRADES AND SUPPORT. From time to time, BULLSEYE TELECOM may (and has the right to) send information and offers to Customer and its users about upgrades, documentation and other services offered by BULLSEYE TELECOM.

5. BILLING, CHARGING AND PAYMENT.
5.1. DEPOSIT.
A deposit may be required of a Customer in compliance with state law. BULLSEYE TELECOM may review Customer's credit profile and may require a security deposit or other assurance(s) of payment as a condition to continuing to provide Services (except where such deposits or assurances are prohibited).

5.2. CREDIT LIMIT. Any credit limit established for Customer shall not be exceeded at any time, unless Customer has received the prior written consent of BULLSEYE TELECOM. If Customer's charges do or are projected by BULLSEYE TELECOM to exceed its credit limit, or if there is a change in Customer's credit rating, BULLSEYE TELECOM may review Customer's credit profile and may require a security deposit or other assurance(s) of payment as a condition to continuing to provide Services (except where such deposits or assurances are prohibited).

5.3. RATES AND PRICING TERMS. Customer is being provided each Service reflected on the Service Orders at the charges, recurring and nonrecurring, stated on the Service Orders, and where applicable, at the per minute rate stated for the specific Service. If Service is being procured at rates not specified, Customer agrees to pay the standard rate that applies to other similarly situated customers with its volume and term commitment. The rates and charges made available to Customer include any standard volume discounts or promotions that may from time to time be offered for the Services. No discounts are cumulative. Percentage discounts are effective only when associated with the standard rates for an identified BULLSEYE TELECOM plan, and confirmed in writing by BULLSEYE TELECOM.

Except as otherwise provided herein, Customer is guaranteed the same net rate for the quoted Service so long as it remains in compliance with this Agreement. Billed charges will include in addition to the rate: any non-recurring charges; governmental taxes; tax and tax-related surcharges, including ad valorem taxes or surcharges; governmental fees or assessments, including surcharges and fees established or assessed by government, and any program-related requirements of BULLSEYE TELECOM; temporary surcharges to recover additional charges or fees required to be paid by unrelated service providers; applicable operator assistance charges, any local loop or Premise Access charges, and any charges of third parties related to Customer's Services which are passed through to Customer; each of which shall be payable by Customer. Discount credits are not available for locations and accounts for which Customer has not accepted full and primary payment responsibility.

BULLSEYE TELECOM reserves the right to lower pricing for any Service(s) to the Customer with no ability for the Customer to terminate those Service(s).  If BULLSEYE TELECOM increases rates (excluding surcharges and fees) for any Service(s)under the existing Agreement, the Customer has up to thirty (30) days from notification of any rate increase to terminate those Service(s) (by written notice to BULLSEYE TELECOM or by telephone notice by contacting BULLSEYE TELECOM Customer Service subject to recorded Third Party Verification), negotiate a new one, or accept the rate increase. Failure to provide such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed Customer's acceptance of the rate increase, unless specified otherwise in Service Terms and Conditions.

5.4. PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. Customer shall pay monthly to BULLSEYE TELECOM the fees for all Services provided, including all applicable line access, seat, feature, usage and any other fixed recurring charges as set forth in this Agreement. Services specified as 'prepaid,' if any, shall be paid in part at time of sale, the balance due at time Service is installed.

5.6. LATE/NON-PAYMENT. Failure to pay fees on a timely basis may at BULLSEYE TELECOM's option, be deemed as termination by Customer, and Customer shall be liable to BULLSEYE TELECOM for one hundred (100%) percent of scheduled monthly recurring charges due under this Agreement through the scheduled termination date of the Agreement, as if an early termination had not occurred. This amount will be billed as a single lump sum amount, due and payable by Customer to BULLSEYE TELECOM upon termination. Should the Services be terminated, interrupted or discontinued due to non-payment, BULLSEYE TELECOM may at its option require Customer to pay a restoration charge, in addition to any current late payment charge and interest, prior to reconnecting the Services. Unpaid invoices are subject to BULLSEYE TELECOM'S then-current late payment charge and interest of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, plus all expenses of collection, including attorney's fees.

6. AGREEMENT TERM. Service is offered on the contractual term periods specified on the applicable Service Order and begins upon the date of initial service activation, unless specified otherwise in the Service Terms and Conditions. Subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew for one (1) year periods without further action by Customer unless Customer gives BULLSEYE TELECOM written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days but not more than one-hundred twenty (120) prior to the end of the term in which notice is given.

Establishment of Internet and other network services is a complex and sophisticated undertaking that requires coordination of activities among a variety of service providers and organizations. A partial listing of parties that must get involved includes local access providers, DSL service providers, domain name registering service providers and a local area network administrator. Depending on conditions at your service locations, successful installation of services may also require extensive inside wiring and cabling, and software configuration services. It is BULLSEYE TELECOM's mission to provide the finest Internet and other wide area networking services available in the markets we service. It is the purpose of this Statement of Responsibility to define, in plain English, our direct service responsibilities and those areas in which we share responsibility for successful service installation with our customers and other service providers with whom they do business.

What BullsEye Telecom is Responsible for:
BULLSEYE TELECOM is responsible for the establishment of wide area network (WAN) services to the routers at your designated service locations. Wide area network service includes the ability to originate and receive traffic to and from the Internet, either directly or by means of a frame relay or EtherAdvantage connection through your host business location, at each of your network service sites. Specific components of this responsibility include:

LOCAL ACCESS SERVICE
Coordination of local access services to each service location with all local access providers required for the services you have ordered. These service providers will include Regional Bell Operating Companies (such as, but not limited to, Ameritech), providers of digital subscriber line, frame relay and ethernet switching services providers that may be required to implement the kind of connection you have ordered. The fundamental test of connectivity between our network and your service sites is the ability to 'ping' your routers.

INSIDE WIRING
Except as noted below, inside wiring required to install your router at a service demarcation point established and agreed to at the time of our site survey of your designated service locations. Exceptions to this policy include cases in which it is apparent that the service installation point requires more than 100 feet of inside wiring, or requires construction or other extraordinary installation services that are beyond the customary scope of inside wiring services. We will establish at the time of the site survey whether inside wiring services are likely to be within the scope of our standard service offering, and if they are not, we will provide an estimate of feasibility, required effort and cost to extend service to the agreed-upon service demarcation point. If extraordinary inside wiring services are required, we will advise you on potential sources that can provide these services through direct contract with you.

CUSTOMER PREMISE EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
On-site installation of routers or any other network interface devices that may be required to establish connectivity to your designated service locations within our service areas. For locations outside our immediate service areas, we will either provide you with a third-party installation service at your cost or ship the router or other equipment to you for your installation.

CUSTOMER PREMISE EQUIPMENT PROGRAMMING FOR INTERNET SERVICES
Programming of routers or other interface devices with IP addresses required to establish wide area connectivity to the Internet and from your host network service location.

DOMAIN NAME SERVICES
If Domain Name Services (DNS) have been ordered, we will register a new domain name or effect the transfer of an existing domain name from an incumbent Internet service provider, as may be appropriate. BULLSEYE TELECOM, working with you, will determine whether it is most advantageous for BULLSEYE TELECOM to host the domain name based on the configuration of your services. If, for example, you have a web site hosted at another service provider's data center, we may require that that service provider host the domain. In any event, we will ensure that IP addresses are configured in such a way as to provide reliable access to your network services, including both your business location and any off-site hosted services you may have.

BULLSEYE TELECOM E-MAIL HOSTING
If BULLSEYE TELECOM is hosting your e-mail, we will ensure that each mailbox you order has a user name assigned, that it resides on one of our mail servers and that it is accessible under the appropriate domain name.

BULLSEYE TELECOM WEB SITE HOSTING
If BULLSEYE TELECOM is hosting your web site, we will ensure that you have the required space available on one of our web servers, that IP addressing is configured in such a way that your registered domain name resolves to your web site and that you have the capability, via FTP, to manage remotely the content of your web site.

What the Customer is Responsible for:
BULLSEYE TELECOM is committed to providing you with complete, high-quality data connectivity services, and we will work with you to ensure that you achieve the greatest use of the network services that we provide. That said, BULLSEYE TELECOM is not in a position to provide local area network (LAN) installation and maintenance services, and is not in a position to configure the software on the computers and other workstations on your network. It is advisable at the time of the installation of our WAN connectivity services, or shortly thereafter, that you have your designated LAN services integrator - whoever installed your LAN and configured your desktop software - on hand to ensure that the Internet services we provide to the router are accessible at each of your LAN workstations. Specific items you and/or your LAN integrator are responsible for include the following:

LOCAL AREA NETWORK PHYSICAL CONNECTIVITY
Physical connection of your local area network from the router to which we provide WAN service to the workstations, servers and other addressable devices on your LAN. Your LAN may include hubs and internal switching devices that may require reconfiguration upon installation of our wide area network connection. In addition, you may want to extend your LAN to new locations at your business site requiring new cabling and other equipment. Our installation personnel are not trained and certified to provide these services.

COMPUTER WORKSTATION AND SERVER LAN ADDRESSES
Assignment of internal IP addressing required to establish connectivity among the workstations, servers and other addressable devices on your LAN. We will ensure that you or your LAN integrator are aware of the public IP addresses that we have assigned to your network; all private IP addresses to be assigned to the users of your LAN are the responsibility of you and your LAN service provider.

COMPUTER WORKSTATION AND SERVER SOFTWARE
Configuration of your desktop software to ensure service availability to the individual users of your LAN. Your LAN and/or software integrator will need to ensure that all browsers, e-mail clients, connection managers and other networking software on your individual workstations are configured properly to provide connectivity your network services.

CUSTOMER PREMISE EQUIPMENT PROGRAMMING FOR FRAME RELAY SERVICE
Programming of routers or other interface devices with Data Link Circuit Identifiers ('DLCIs') required to establish private, point-to -point, wide-area-network connectivity via frame relay between your client and host network service locations.

E-MAIL HOSTING BY CUSTOMER OR OTHER SERVICE VENDOR
If BULLSEYE TELECOM does not host your e-mail, we are not responsible for the assignment and maintenance of user names to your individual e-mail accounts. That responsibility rests with your LAN integrator or network administrator if your e-mail is hosted on a server on your LAN, or with the service provider providing hosting services to you through a remote data center services, as appropriate,

WEB SITE HOSTING BY CUSTOMER OR OTHER VENDOR
If BULLSEYE TELECOM hosts your website, you, the customer, are responsible for maintaining adequate, accessible backup copies of all web page folders/files for changing and/or reposting web pages for any and all circumstances.

If BULLSEYE TELECOM does not host your web site, we are not responsible for the hosting of your domain name services (DNS) and the resolution of your domain name to the appropriate IP address. Please note: If your web site is hosted on a server on your LAN, we will host and resolve your DNS; but if your web site is hosted by another service provider at a remote data center, we will not host and resolve your DNS.

Please understand that our intention in defining the limitations of our responsibilities in providing data communications services is to ensure that we establish expectations with our customers at the outset of our relationship in such a way that we minimize the possibility of later misunderstanding. We provide the best wide area data communication services in the markets in which we operate, and we intend to continue doing so by focusing on those services that we know we can provide at high levels of customer satisfaction and economical cost. Although we want to service your communication needs as far as we possibly can, it does neither us nor our customers good for us to attempt to provide services for which we are not trained and qualified. In those cases in which services beyond the scope of our installation procedures are required to ensure your satisfactory use of our network services, we will be glad to work with you to identify third party vendors who can provide those services.
