1. EFFECTIVE DATE and TERMS<\/strong><\/p> These MTCs shall become effective on the date that the Customer\u2019s signed Service Order is counter-signed by AGILITY. Unless otherwise agreed to<\/p> in writing by AGILITY, all Service (defined in Section 4(a) below) shall be provided for a Minimum Service Term of 3 years (the \u201cTerm\u201d), from service delivery date. In the event Customer has submitted a number port request, such Term shall commence on the date upon which the number port request is completed; otherwise, the Term shall commence on the date upon which the Service is made available for use<\/p> by Customer (the \u201cService Delivery Date\u201d). The Term shall thereafter continue until its expiration or until the Service Order is otherwise terminated as set forth herein, whichever comes first. Following the initial Term, the Customer Services shall continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated upon thirty (30) calendar days\u2019 prior written notice by either party hereto, or until the parties enter into a new service Agreement.<\/p> 2. BILLING and PAYMENT TERMS<\/strong><\/p> The fees for Service are as set as follows: Monthly reoccurring service fees shall be billed monthly in advance at the beginning of the customer billing cycle and shall be for the monthly reoccurring service charges, service fees, prior service period usage, and taxes and surcharges.<\/p> All usage based calls are rated individually and rounded to the nearest penny, with a minimum charge of one cent ($0.01). Customer shall also be responsible for payment of any applicable local, state or federal taxes, fees and government-imposed charges or surcharges which may include Universal Service Fund, 911 and TRS assessments, PICC fees and payphone compensation charges, among others. Unless otherwise specified, Services are provided and invoices are issued on a monthly basis for actual usage of Service and all subscription fees are due in advance at the start of Service. In the case of a partial month\u2019s service, the initial invoice shall include any pro-rated charges for the current month and the first full month of service. Any set-up, installation or equipment charges shall be paid in advance at the time of or delivery of equipment or service.<\/p> In the event of any dispute regarding a billing invoice, Customer shall notify AGILITY in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the invoice date. Thereafter, said invoice shall be deemed to be correct and binding. Payment is due on the date set forth in the invoice as the Due Date, and if no such date is identified then no later than 10 days from the date of the invoice. Any amount not paid within fifteen days after the invoice date shall bear interest commencing on the invoice date and continuing through the date payment is<\/p> received, at a rate equal to the lesser of 2.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by law. In addition, invoices not paid by the twenty-fifth (25th)<\/p> day from the invoice date will not be eligible for any quoted volume or term discounts. Customer is responsible for paying the entire amount billed<\/p> on the invoice, including reasonable disputed charges, whether or not documented in writing to AGILITY. Any dispute resolved in Customer\u2019s favor shall be credited on Customer\u2019s next invoice. Customer shall not seek legal or equitable remedies, including without limitation, injunctive relief,<\/p> which would require AGILITY to continue providing Service to Customer.<\/p> Accounts that are unpaid by the 25th\u00a0of each month will be suspended. Accounts that remain past due beyond the 1stday of the following month will be deactivated and sent to collections and consequently, the Customer will forfeit all telephone numbers associated with the account.<\/p> 3. SECURITY DEPOSITS<\/strong><\/p> a. Security Deposit. In AGILITY\\’s sole discretion, AGILITY shall require Customer to deposit funds on reserve (\\”Security Deposit\\”) in order to receive purchased Services. The Security Deposit will appear on the first invoice in Customer\u2019s Initial Term with AGILITY and shall be paid pursuant to Section 2 herein (Billing and Payment Terms). If AGILITY requires Customer to pay a Security Deposit, AGILITY shall hold the Security Deposit as collateral security for the payment of the charges and other sums of money payable by Customer under any and all Service Orders and for the faithful performance of all other terms, covenants and conditions of Customer hereunder. Such Security Deposit may be commingled with other funds of AGILITY and transferred out of state. AGILITY shall be responsible for the accrual and payment of interest thereon<\/p> in accordance with applicable law. Customer hereby waives the benefit of any provision of law requiring the Security Deposit to be held in escrow or<\/p> trust, and the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be the property of AGILITY. Customer further acknowledges that the Security Deposit is not to be construed as prepaid fees by Customer for any period of the Service Order.<\/p> b. Adjustments. AGILITY reserves the right to require a Security Deposit (if the requirement of a Security Deposit was initially waived by AGILITY) or additional security deposits for subsequent Service Orders if: (i) Customer has not made payments for existing Services pursuant to<\/p> the provisions of the MTCs; (ii) Customer adds new locations not set forth in the Agreement or any Exhibit thereto; or (iii) AGILITY determines in<\/p> its sole discretion that Customer\u2019s creditworthiness is in doubt or becomes negative as reflected in Customer\u2019s credit score or credit rating.<\/p> c. Reconnection. In addition, AGILITY may require an additional Security Deposit and\/or a reconnection fee before Services are restored if the Services have been disconnected and\/or suspended (or any Service Order has been terminated) by AGILITY due to Customer\u2019s<\/p> nonpayment or other default under any applicable Service Order or these MTCs.<\/p> d. Remittance. For a Customer who renews a Service Order, AGILITY may apply the Security Deposit in full toward the first month(s) of the first Service Order renewal Term as a credit toward all new charges; provided that Customer is current on all invoices and has no suspensions for the Service Order renewal Term based upon Customer\u2019s changes to the quantity of Services and\/or Equipment. Except as otherwise provided in the MTCs, the Security Deposit, shall be repaid to Customer within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Service Order Initial Term, and all extensions or renewals thereof, unless there are unpaid amounts,<\/p> including Early Termination Fees, owing by Customer to AGILITY. In such cases, the Security Deposit will be applied to any outstanding balance on<\/p> Customer\u2019s final invoice.<\/p> 4. SERVICE, RATES and PROMOTIONS<\/strong><\/p> a. Services. AGILITY Services consist of any services offered by AGILITY, including retail or enterprise SIP trunking telephony, Voice over<\/p> Internet telephony, Hosted Voice services, Broadband data services, Hosting Services, Managed Network Services, or other services provided by AGILITY to Customer from time to time.<\/p> b.

AGILITY-provided equipment or products (collectively, \u201cEquipment\u201d) shall only be used for its intended purpose. Customer shall not,<\/p> and shall not permit others to, rearrange, disconnect, remove, attempt to repair, or otherwise tamper with any Equipment without the prior written consent of AGILITY. AGILITY may, in its sole discretion, ship the Equipment directly to Customer. Within three (3) days of its receipt of such Equipment, Customer must notify AGILITY of any damaged or missing items from Customer\u2019s order. In order to facilitate configuration of the<\/p> Equipment and to ensure its compatibility with AGILITY\u2019s network, AGILITY reserves the right to require Customer, as a condition to receiving Service, to use CPE supplied by AGILITY. Customer may, in AGILITY\u2019s sole discretion, either purchase or rent the CPE from AGILITY, in accordance with this Section 8.<\/p> b. Rental Equipment. In the event AGILITY agrees to rent the CPE to Customer (as indicated on the Service Order) (\u201cRented CPE\u201d), AGILITY shall retain title to the Rented CPE and Customer agrees to use reasonable care in maintaining the Rented CPE while in Customer\u2019s possession.

Upon the expiration or termination of the Services, Rented CPE shall be returned to<\/p> AGILITY by Customer (at Customer\u2019s expense) in good condition, reasonable wear and tear accepted.

During the<\/p> first twelve (12) months of the Service Term, should the Purchased CPE fail to perform due to failure of the hardware; where such failure is not the<\/p> result of Customer\u2019s negligence (as defined above), AGILITY agrees to replace the Purchased CPE at no additional cost to Customer. Customer shall bear the cost of any and all loss or damage to the Purchased CPE until the Purchase Price is paid in full. The foregoing represents AGILITY\u2019s only<\/p> obligation with respect to the Purchased CPE, which is otherwise provided subject to Section 7 hereof.<\/p>
