3.1.13. Third Party Cloud Provider (TPCP) means a non-Zayo entity offering a cloud-based platform, infrastructure or application to which

Customer desires to interconnect an Offering, and with which Customer has a direct commercial relationship.

3.1.14. UNI means “User Network Interface” and is an interface used to interconnect a customer’s network to Zayo’s network.

3.1.15. Unprotected Offering means an Offering which does not include a protection scheme that allows traffic to be rerouted in the event of a fiber cut or equipment failure. Any Offering not expressly designated as a Protected Offering on the applicable Customer Order shall be deemed an Unprotected Offering.

3.2. Acceptable Use Policy

and (2) all public and private addresses required by the TPCP.

3.3.4.3. Managed IP-VPN Option: IP-VPN connectivity for CloudLink may include Zayo-provided managed routers at the Customer premises. This option may include Network Address Translation (NAT) for the integration of public TPCP offerings.

3.3.4.4. Hosted CloudLink is an Offering where Customer shares a multi-tenant Cloud Service Provider (CSP) port. Traffic is separated via individual VLAN IDs. Due to its shared nature, this Offering is not intended to support any one customer’s high sustained traffic, and Zayo reserves the right to throttle Customer's traffic if Customer’s high-sustained traffic impacts other customers’ use of the shared CSP port.

3.4. Components and Installation

3.4.1. Zayo Components. Zayo, or its agent, may provide, install, maintain, repair, operate and control Zayo’s components and equipment (“Zayo Components”). The Zayo Components shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Zayo, and nothing contained herein shall give or convey to Customer, or any other person, any ownership right, title or interest whatsoever in the Zayo Components (other than the access rights included within an Offering), notwithstanding that such Zayo Components may be, or become, attached to, or embedded in, realty.

Customer shall not tamper with, remove or conceal any identifying plates, tags or labels identifying Zayo’s ownership interest in the Zayo Components. Customer shall not adjust, align, attempt to repair, relocate or remove the Zayo Components, except as expressly authorized in writing by Zayo. Customer shall be liable for any loss of or damage to the Zayo Components caused by Customer’s negligence, intentional acts, or unauthorized maintenance and shall reimburse Zayo for the same within thirty (30) days after receipt by Customer of a request for reimbursement. Customer, at its sole cost and expense, shall be required to obtain space and power to support the Zayo Components for the Offering for the duration of the Order Term.

3.4.2. Access and Customer Premises Obligations. Customer, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide Zayo with all necessary information and access to all applicable Customer locations for purposes of providing the Offerings, including installation, maintenance, and repair of Zayo Components on Customer premises. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “access” shall include without limitation any necessary license(s) to access, occupy and conduct telecommunication operations within each respective building and or property for the duration of the Order Term (including any necessary rights for Zayo to enter and access each building, and for providing all necessary cable pathways, building access and/or occupancy fees, riser fees, cross-connects and cross-connect fees, coordination at any third party owned location, and, where applicable, necessary space for Zayo’s fiber termination panel). However, notwithstanding Customer’s foregoing responsibility, if Zayo is required by a third party to obtain and maintain any such license to access the building or property, Customer agrees to reimburse Zayo for its costs related to obtaining and maintaining such licenses during the Order Term. Zayo shall provide reasonable notice under the circumstances to Customer prior to entering Customer’s point of presence to install, maintain or repair any of the Zayo Components. Customer will provide a safe place to work and comply with all applicable laws regarding the working conditions on the Customer premises.

3.4.3. Customer Equipment. Customer is responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for connecting to the Demarcation Point specified in the Customer Order. Components, equipment and operations beyond the Demarcation Point and/or interconnection between Zayo’s facilities and terminal components and the wiring at the Demarcation Point shall be the responsibility of Customer (“Customer Equipment”).

Customer must procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, Customer Equipment which is technically compatible with the Offering and the Zayo network. Zayo shall have no obligation to install, maintain or repair any non-Zayo components or equipment, including any Customer Equipment. If, on responding to a Customer-initiated service call, Zayo reasonably determines that the cause of the deficiency was a failure, malfunction or the inadequacy of components or equipment other than the Zayo Components, Customer shall compensate Zayo for actual time and materials expended during the service call.

3.5. Service Requests and Delivery

3.5.1. Acceptance and Projected Activation Date. Within five (5) business days of Zayo’s acknowledgment to Customer of receipt of a Customer Order for On-Net Offerings, or within five (5) business days after Zayo’s receipt of its Off-Net provider’s projected service activation date for Off-Net Offerings, Zayo will notify Customer (in writing or electronically) of its acceptance of such Customer Order (“Customer Order Acceptance”), at which time such Customer Order becomes a binding obligation to purchase the Offerings therein, or rejection of such Customer Order, in which case Zayo will communicate to Customer why it is unable to accept such Customer Order. Zayo may accept or reject any submitted Customer Order in its sole discretion.

3.5.2. Firm Order Commitment Date. Unless the date by which Zayo estimates it will turn over the Offering for Customer’s use (“FOC Date”) is already stated in a Customer Order, Zayo will provide the FOC Date following submission of the Customer Order. For Off-Net Offerings, Zayo shall notify Customer of the FOC Date within two (2) business days after Zayo receives an installation date from its Third Party Provider.

3.5.3. Offering Activation. After Zayo’s required tasks have been completed and Zayo has determined that the Offering conforms to the relevant Customer Order, Zayo will notify Customer that the Offering has been activated in accordance with the Customer Order and is available for use by Customer (“Offering Activation Notice”). The “Activation Date” shall be the earlier of (i) the date on which Customer begins using the Offering for any purpose other than testing; or (ii) the date that Zayo has sent the Offering Activation Notice to Customer.

Customer shall have five (5) days following the Activation Date in which to notify Zayo that it is rejecting the Offering because the Offering does not conform to the Customer Order. If Customer has notified Zayo within such five (5)) day period that the Offering does not conform to the Customer Order, then Zayo shall take such steps reasonably necessary to conform the Offering to the Customer Order, at which time Zayo shall issue a new Offering Activation Notice and the Customer acceptance process above shall be repeated. If the

Activation Date is delayed as a result of Customer’s failure to meet its responsibilities under the MCA or this Customer Schedule, the Activation Date will be deemed to be the later of (a) the FOC Date or

(b) the date that Zayo has completed its tasks to deliver the Offering to the best of its ability.

3.5.4. Incrementally Delivered Offerings. Unless otherwise specified in a Customer Order, for individually delivered Offerings, Zayo may incrementally deliver when ready, which may result in different Activation Dates for such incrementally delivered Offerings. For multipoint Offerings, Zayo may incrementally deliver an Offering to each Customer location when ready, and the Order Term for such incrementally delivered multipoint Offerings shall begin on the Activation Date of the first location and/or circuit delivered and shall end after the period specified as the Order Term from the Activation Date of the last location and/or circuit delivered. Unless otherwise set forth in a Customer Order, the charges associated with a delivered Offering will be based upon the Allocated MRC. Any Bandwidth Commitment for an incrementally delivered service will be proportionally reduced to reflect the number of locations incrementally delivered out of the total number of locations included under such Bandwidth Commitment and Burst Bandwidth will be determined by using the level then in effect as of the last day of each calendar month. For all multipoint Offerings, Outage Credits shall be granted only to affected Customer locations based on Allocated MRC.

3.6. Performance Level Targets

3.6.1. Availability: For IP-VPN, CloudLink and Ethernet, “Availability” means the percentage of time that a Customer location is connected to and can be reached by one or more other Customer locations on the same Customer network. For DIA and IP Transit, Availability means the percentage of time a Customer location can access the Internet. If the Offering is unavailable, measurement of the unavailable period begins when a Zayo trouble ticket is opened and is calculated on a calendar month basis.

Critical 99.8% Preferred 99.7% an Outage begins when Zayo records a trouble ticket number and ends when the Offering is restored or not failing to meet the Performance Level Targets in Section 6 ("Outage Duration"). Outage Duration is applicable to specific affected circuits and shall not be aggregated among circuits. Unless otherwise specified, the Performance Level Objectives applicable to CloudLink Offerings shall be the Performance Level Objectives applicable to the underlying Offering used to deliver such CloudLink Offering. In the event of an Outage during which Customer experiences multiple Offering Element failures and/or Outages, the Outage Credits for each affected Offering Element shall not be aggregated; rather, the Outage Credit shall be the greater of the Outage Credit applicable to any individual Offering Element in Section 6. The maximum Outage Credit in a calendar month for any affected circuit shall not exceed 50% of the Allocated MRC for the affected circuit.

3.7.3. Chronic Outage: Customer may terminate the affected On-Net Offering without incurring early termination charges if: (i) for an On-Net Protected Offering, Customer experiences three (3) or more related Outages on such Offering, each with an Outage Duration lasting more than one (1) hour in any thirty (30) day period; or (ii) for an On-Net Unprotected Offering, Customer experiences three (3) or more related Outages on such Offering, each with an Outage Duration lasting more than eight (8) hours in any thirty (30) day period. In the event of an Outage during which Customer experiences multiple Offering Element failures and/or Outages, the Outage Duration for each affected Offering Element shall not be aggregated; rather, the Outage Duration used to calculate the applicable Outage Credit under Section 7.2 above shall apply for purposes of determining whether Customer is entitled to terminate the affected Offering under this Section. In order to exercise a right to terminate under this Section, Customer must notify Zayo of its intent to terminate the affected Offering in writing within thirty (30) days after the event giving rise to a right of termination. Customer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate under this Section if it fails to provide the requisite notice within such thirty (30) day period. Zayo reserves the right to refuse the foregoing termination right if Customer has any past-due balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may not terminate the affected Offering under this section if Zayo is able to cure (to Customer’s reasonable satisfaction) the issue(s) giving rise to such Outages under this provision within thirty (30) calendar days of the chronic outage triggering event.

3.8. Issuance Of Credits

In order to receive Outage Credit, Customer must (a) immediately report the Outage to the NCC and open a trouble ticket and (b) make a written request for an Outage Credit within thirty (30) calendar days following the end of the month in which the Outage occurred. Upon receipt of Customer’s request, Zayo will investigate the claim under the terms described in this Customer Schedule. Credits will be granted only if Customer has paid all outstanding invoices by the Due Dates thereof. The issuance of credits pursuant to this Section and Customer’s right to terminate in accordance with Section 7.3 above are Customer's sole remedies for any failure or non-performance of Offerings set forth in this Customer Schedule. Outage Credits shall be deducted from the charges payable by Customer hereunder and shall be expressly indicated on the Customer invoice.

3.9. Third Party Services

The Offerings may incorporate services provided by a third party (“Third Party Provider”), including, but not limited to, interconnect services (collectively “Third Party Offerings”). The costs of Third Party Offerings will be reflected in the applicable Customer Order provided that, following written notice to Customer, Zayo may adjust the rates for Offerings that incorporate Third Party Offerings to reflect, without mark up, any increases in costs imposed on Zayo for Third Party Offerings after the effective date of the applicable Customer Order. The service-specific terms and performance metrics associated with Third Party Offerings, including any available credits for non-performance or service degradation, are limited to Zayo’s terms with, and credits collected from, the applicable Third Party Provider. If Customer cancels an Offering that incorporates Third Party Offerings without cause prior to the expiration of the applicable Order Term, Customer shall reimburse Zayo for any costs incurred by Zayo to terminate such Third Party Offerings. Where a Customer has requested a disconnect for an Offering for which an LOA/CFA was required, the Customer must produce documentation of disconnect confirmation (disconnect FOC or other) from the Third Party Provider.

3.10. Maintenance

“Routine Maintenance” is routine and preventative maintenance and repairs that Zayo deems necessary to ensure proper functioning of the Zayo network. The Zayo NOC will generally conduct such planned Schedule Maintenance outside normal working hours anytime between 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM (local time) seven (7) days a week. Zayo will provide Customer with fourteen (14) days prior notice of such Routine Maintenance that Zayo reasonably believes may impact availability. All maintenance other than Routine Maintenance as described above shall be deemed to be Non-Routine Maintenance. For any Non-Routine Maintenance performed to restore functionality of the Offerings, Customer will first use commercially reasonable efforts to determine that any disruption in the functionality of the Offering is not on the Customer’s side of the Demarcation Point. After verifying that the problem is not on Customer’s side of the Demarcation Point, Customer shall open a Trouble Case for Technical Support by contacting Zayo Customer Support at 1-866-236-2824 (US and Canada) / +4420 3846 4222 (Europe) / 00800 4997 0737 (France), or ncc@zayo.com.

Escalation procedures following opening of a Trouble Case can be found at https://tranzact.zayo.com/#!/escalation-lists.

3.11. Regulatory Requirement

If the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”), any other regulatory body, or a court of competent jurisdiction issues a rule, regulation, law or order that has the effect of increasing the cost to provide the Offering or cancels, changes or supersedes any material term or provision of the Agreement (collectively “Regulatory Requirement”), then the Agreement shall be deemed modified in such a way as is necessary to comply with such Regulatory Requirement.

3.12. Aggregated Disconnect

For a multi-point Offering with aggregated bandwidth, as set forth in the applicable Customer Order, Customer may, upon ninety (90) days written notice to, and corresponding approval from, Zayo, terminate a portion of such Offering (the "Disconnected Circuit"), provided, however that if such https://tranzact.zayo.com/#!/escalation-lists termination is during the initial Order Term or a Renewal Term, Customer will remain liable for 100% of the remaining MRC through the applicable Order Term or Renewal Term for the Disconnected Circuit ("Circuit Disconnection Right"). If Customer exercises this Circuit Disconnection Right and complies with the terms provided herein, Customer's MRC for the remaining Offering may thereafter be reduced by the corresponding MRC of the Disconnected Circuit. This Circuit Disconnection Right is subject to Zayo's review and approval.
