Services are invoiced in advance, but usage charges are invoiced in arrears. Any installation or other non-recurring charges, which are non-refundable, will appear on the first monthly invoice. (b) TWTC may require a deposit prior to the provision of any new Service. TWTC also may require a deposit as a condition to its obligation to continue to provide Service(s) if Customer has failed to timely pay for Service(s) on two occasions during any six month period. (c) TWTC will invoice Customer for applicable Taxes (defined below) and, whenever possible, will identify such charges as a separate line item on the invoice. Customer will be liable for Taxes which were assessed by or paid to an appropriate taxing authority within the applicable statute of limitations period. If Customer fails to pay any Taxes properly billed, then as between TWTC and Customer, Customer will be solely responsible for payment of the Taxes, and penalty and interest. "Tax" or "Taxes" mean any federal, state or local excise, gross receipts, value added, sales, use or other similar tax, fee, tax-like fee or surcharge of whatever nature and however designated, imposed, or sought to be imposed, on or with respect to purchases by Customer from TWTC for consideration under this Agreement or for TWTC's use of public streets or rights of way, which TWTC is required or permitted by law or a tariff to collect from Customer; provided, however, that the term"Tax"will not include any tax on TWTC's corporate existence, status, income, corporate property or payroll taxes. If either Party is audited by a taxing or other governmental authority, the other Party agrees to cooperate reasonably by responding to the audit inquiries in a proper, complete and timely manner. TWTC will cooperate, at Customer's expense, with reasonable requests of Customer in connection with any Tax contest or refund claim. The Customer will ensure that no lien is attached to or allowed to remain on any asset of TWTC as a result of any Tax contest. Customer will indemnify and hold TWTC harmless against any liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses arising out of such Tax proceedings, including without limitation any additional Taxes, interest, penalties and attorney's fees. If Customer claims an exemption for any Taxes, Customer must provide TWTC with a proper tax exemption certificate as authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Customer must pay the applicable Taxes to TWTC until it provides TWTC with a valid tax exemption certificate. If applicable law exempts a Service under this Agreement from a Tax, but does not also provide an exemption procedure, then TWTC will not collect such Tax if Customer provides TWTC with a letter signed by one of its officers: (i) claiming a right to the exemption; (ii) identifying the applicable law that allows such exemption and does not require an exemption certificate; and (iii) agreeing to indemnify and hold TWTC harmless from any tax, interest, penalties, loss, cost or expense asserted against TWTC as a result of its not collecting the Taxes from Customer. (d) Payment for all undisputed amounts due under this Agreement must be received by TWTC on or before the due date specified on the bill ("Due Date"). Any payment or portion thereof not received by the Due Date is subject to a late charge on the unpaid amount at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. 7. Disputes: If Customer disputes any charges, it must log the dispute by completing and submitting a dispute form via TWTC's dispute website located at: https://billinq.twtelecom.com/disputes/, or by contacting TWTC's dispute telephone line at 1-800-829-0420. All disputes must be submitted to TWTC in the manner specified above within 120 calendar days of the date of the invoice associated with the disputed charges, or the invoice shall be deemed correct and all rights to dispute such charges are waived. Withheld disputed amounts determined in favor of TWTC must be paid by Customer within five(5) business days following written, electronic or telephonic notice of the resolution, and will bear interest at the lesser of 1.5%per month or the maximum rate allowed by law from the Due Date until the date paid. 8.Service Levels/Service Outage Credits: (a)Service Level Agreement("SLA"). The SLAs provided by TWTC are set forth at http://www.twtelecom.com/SLAs. The SLAs identify the applicable performance metrics and Service Outage credit tables. If a specific SLA is not identified on the website for a particular Service,then credits for Service Outages exceeding thirty(30)minutes will be calculated on a pro rata basis, i.e. credits will be calculated by multiplying the duration of the Service Outage by the applicable MRC, divided by the monthly period. Terms and Conditions tw telecom—Confidential Page 3 of 7 �tw telecom. Document No. 367416 (b) Service Outage Definition. A "Service Outage" is defined as either: (a) material non-compliance with a specific performance metric in a service level agreement and such non-compliance is caused by TWTC's Network; or (b) a complete loss of transmission or reception capability for a Service caused by TWTC's Network. (c) Reporting and Tracking of Service Outages. If there is a Service Outage, Customer must contact TWTC's Customer Network Reliability Center ("CNRC") at 800-829-0420 and TWTC will open a trouble ticket and provide Customer with a trouble ticket number for tracking purposes. (d) Duration of Service Outage and Application of Credits. For the purpose of calculating applicable credits, a Service Outage begins when Customer reports the Service Outage to TWTC's CNRC, and ends when the Service is restored. Service Outages do not include outages and failures caused by the equipment, acts or omissions of Customer, third parties, Force Majeure events, or outages occurring during scheduled or emergency maintenance. The duration of a Service Outage does not include any time during which TWTC is not allowed access to the premises necessary to restore the Service. Credits for Service Outages are only issued if requested by Customer, and such requests must be submitted to TWTC within 120 days from the date Service is restored. (e) Chronic Trouble Services. If two Service Outages have occurred on a particular Service during a 30-day period, and a third Service Outage occurs within thirty days following the second Service Outage, Customer may terminate the applicable Service without early termination liability provided that Customer supplies TWTC with a written termination notice no later than thirty days following the third Service Outage. (f) Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the remedies set forth in the service level agreement and in Sections 8(a) and 8(e) of this Agreement constitute Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for Service Outages. (g) Service Outages Not Caused by TWTC's Network. If TWTC responds to a service call initiated by Customer, and TWTC reasonably determines that the cause of the problem is: (i) not due to TWTC's Network; or(ii) on Customer's side of the Demarcation Point, Customer must compensate TWTC for the service call at TWTC's then prevailing Time and Materials rates posted at www.twtelecom.com. 9.
