The designated representatives will meet as often as the parties reasonably deem necessary to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue that the parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. Such representatives will discuss the Claim and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the Claim. During the course of such negotiation, all reasonable requests made by one party to the other party for information will be honored in order that each of the parties may be fully advised as to the facts and circumstances surrounding the Claim. However, the parties acknowledge and agree that it is costly and time consuming to retrieve certain historical data. Therefore, the parties acknowledge and agree that only data routinely provided from one party to another during a designated Claim period shall be required. The specific format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives but may include the preparation of agreed upon statements of fact or written statements of position furnished to the other party. No formal proceedings for the resolution of such Claim may be commenced until the earlier to occur of: (a) the designated representatives conclude in good faith that an amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter in issue does not appear likely; or (b) the sixtieth (60'b) day after the initial request to negotiate such dispute, controversy, or claim. The Parties agree that no Claim(s) older than one (1) year from inception or discovery of such Claim(s) shall be pursued in any manner. Section 7.02 Arbitration (a) If the parties are unable to resolve any Claim in accordance with Section 7.01, the parties agree to submit such Claim to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. A party may demand such arbitration in accordance with the procedures set out in those rules. 12 (b) Discovery shall be controlled by the arbitrator and shall be governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If decided by the Arbitrator, the party seeking discovery shall reimburse the responding party for the cost of the production of documents, including search time and reproduction costs. The arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles County, California. The arbitrator shall control the scheduling so as to process the matter expeditiously. The parties may submit written briefs. The arbitrator shall rule on the Claim by issuing a written opinion within thirty (30) calendar days after the close of the hearings. The time frames specified in this Section 7.02 may be extended upon mutual agreement of the parties or by the arbitrator upon a showing of good cause. (c) Except as provided in (b) above, each party shall bear its own fees, costs and expenses of arbitration, including its own legal and expert witness fees. The parties shall equally split the fees of the arbitration and the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award reimbursement of costs and/or fees to the prevailing party. (d) Any award rendered by the arbitrator will be final, conclusive, and binding upon the parties, and any judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Section 7.03 Exclusive Remedy Other than those matters involving injunctive relief as a remedy or any action necessary to enforce the award of the Arbitrator, the parties agree that the provisions of this Article VII are a complete defense to any suit, action, or other proceeding instituted in any court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to any dispute, controversy, or claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the provision of Services by ACI. Nothing in this Article VII will prevent the parties from exercising their rights to tertninate this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII. Section 7.04 Tax Disputes Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VII, if Customer disputes ACI's determination that any Taxes are payable by ACI on ACI's behalf or on behalf of Customer, disagrees with an assessment of any additional Taxes due by ACI or by Customer as a result of ACI's performance of any obligation under this Agreement or disagrees with a determination that any Taxes are applicable to ACI's billing to Customer for Services under this Agreement, Customer will, at Customer's option and expense (including without limitation payment for any Taxes prior to final resolution of the issues), have the right to seek administrative relief, a ruling, judicial review (original and appellate level), or other appropriate review as to the applicability of any such Tax or to protest any such Tax, but Customer will be liable for any Tax ultimately determined to be due. ACI will, when requested by Customer and at Customer's expense, cooperate or participate with Customer in any such proceeding, protest or legal challenge and may participate, at ACI's expense, in any such proceeding, protest or legal challenge if Customer does not so request. 13 ARTICLE VIII.

ACI may revise the On-Net File from time to time and will provide Customer with a copy of the revised On-Net File as soon as reasonably practicable. (c) Approved Message Format. Upon receipt of a Message tape from Customer, ACI will determine whether the Message data contained thereon is in the standard exchange message interface format or another format that has been chosen by ACI (the "Approved Message Format"). Customer hereby acknowledges that ACI has provided it with the current Approved Message Format. ACI may from time to time revise the Approved Message Format based on reasonable business needs (as determined in good faith by ACI), the requirements of any B&C Contract, or the requirements of any Governmental Authority and will provide Customer with a copy of the revised Approved Message Format. Customer will comply with such new format within ninety (90) days after receipt of a copy of the updated or revised Approved Message Fon-nat; provided, however, that Customer will comply with such new format within thirty (30) days after receipt of a copy of the updated or revised Approved Message Format if ACI notifies Customer that such new format was revised to comply with industrystandard formats.

The Approved Message Format used for most common types of calls (i.e., collect, billed to third party, and most line number format calling card calls) is referred to as the "01-01-01 format". This record will also be used as the base record for billing SSMs. Customer will receive a five-digit code (3NNNN) for each approved phrase. This code will be placed in positions 123 - 134 and 135 - 146 of the EMI record. ACI will translate to the proposed Special Service Message code phrase and reformat the record for output to the appropriate B&C Processor. Customer Testing. Customer testing is required for the first set-up on SSMs. 2. Remittance Processing 25 (a) Remittance by B&C Processor.

If requested in writing by Customer, ACI will make Disbursements to Customer by wire or electronic funds transfer to the bank or other depository designated in writing by Customer. Customer shall be responsible for all wire and related charges. (c) Reserve. W Pursuant to notice, if ACI reasonably determines that the aggregate amount of Remittances due from B&C Processors in respect of Customer's Billable Messages at any time during the Term is less than the aggregate amount of Deductions effected by, or anticipated by ACI to be effected by, such B&C Processors, or effected by adjustments or credits to be provided to End Users (each of the events referred to as a "Reserve Event"), then ACI will have the right to withhold amounts from any Disbursements that would otherwise be payable to Customer on and after the occurrence for the purpose of reimbursing ACI for the anticipated amounts to be charged and withheld by any B&C Processor, or for adjustments or credits (the "Reserve"). An example of such a Reserve Event would be Billable Messages by Customer dropping by seventy-five percent (75%), or the termination or anticipated termination of this Agreement. In the event any invoice, as provided for in this Agreement, is not timely paid by Customer and the entire amount of such invoice cannot be paid out of Disbursements, then such amount shall be added to the Reserve as set forth herein. (ii) In addition, ACI shall establish a reserve for reconciliation of bad debt charges effected by such B&C Processors pertaining to Customer's Billable Messages (the "Frue-Up Reserve"). The initial True-Up Reserve, as soon as LEC Billing Services are commenced, shall be five percent (5%). ACI may at any time increase or decrease the True-Up Reserve based on actual bad debt withheld by the B&C Processors and/or based upon Customer's actual or anticipated bad debt related to its Billable Messages to offset any shortfalls that may be incurred by ACI. 26 (iii) If at any time the Reserves and/or True-Up Reserve are insufficient, ACI will invoice Customer for the amount of the shortfall, and Customer shall remit full payment to ACI within ten (10) business days of the date of the invoice. Any excess of Reserves and/or True-Up Reserves shall be remitted to Customer by ACI upon ACI's reasonable determination that there is no longer a need for a Reserve and/or True-Up Reserve. (d) Reports. ACI will provide reports to Customer that reflect the amounts due from the B&C Processors, the results of Rejected Messages, Returned Messages and other adjustments, the amounts remitted by the B&C Processors, the amounts withheld by the B&C Processors for bad debts, and the actual bad debts incurred. ACI will transmit Call Acceptance Transmittal (CAT) reports within seven (7) Business Days after the receipt of Message data from Customer, will transmit Remittance reports at the time that ACI makes the Disbursements to Customer, and will transmit bad debt true-up reports to Customer in the month following receipt of LEC bad debt true-up data by ACI. (e) Adjustments and Unbillables. Customer acknowledges that deductions from amounts remitted to ACI from B&C Processors in respect of Returned Messages and adjustments will be charged to Customer through an allocation: (i) to Customer to the extent that such deduction can be solely attributed to Customer based on data provided to ACI by the applicable B&C Processor; or (ii) pro rata among Customer and other customers of ACI if such deduction cannot be attributed to specific customers. Pro rata allocations of any such deduction in accordance with the foregoing will be calculated based on the amount of Customer's deductions solely attributed to Customer (as defined above) as a percentage of all deductions solely attributed to all ACI Customers during the period to which such deduction relates or such other method as ACI determines in its sole discretion is appropriate based on empirical data available to ACI. (f) Bad Debt Reconciliation and Allocation. (i) Reconciliation. ACI will, as provided in the B&C Contracts, periodically reconcile the amount withheld by each B&C Processor for bad debts with the actual amount of bad debts incurred by such B&C Processor (a "True-Up Reconciliation"). The determination of whether a bill has become a bad debt will be made by each B&C Processor. ACI will advise Customer of the results of such Reconciliation. (ii) Pro Rata Allocations. If any Reconciliation results in a refund to ACI of amounts previously deducted by such B&C Processor (a "Refund"), and, based on data provided to ACI by the applicable B&C Processor, ACI is unable to detennine the amount of such Reconciliation directly attributable to specific customers, then the Refund will be remitted pro rata among Customer and other customers of ACI. Customer's share of any such Refund will be applied in the following order: (i) as an offset against any amounts owed by Customer to ACI pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) as a cash payment to Customer within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Refund by ACI. Likewise, if any Reconciliation results in a deduction in the Remittance paid to ACI in addition to amounts previously deducted by such B&C Processor (a "Deduction"), and, based on data provided to ACI by the applicable B&C Processor, ACI is unable to determine the amount of such Reconciliation directly attributable to specific customers, the amount of any such Deduction will be charged to Customer through a pro rata allocation among Customer and other customers of ACI. 27 Pro rata allocations of any Refund or Deduction in accordance with the foregoing will be calculated based on either: (x) the amount of revenue represented by the call records submitted by ACI on behalf of Customer to the applicable B&C Processor during the period to which such Refund or Deduction relates compared to the total revenue represented by all call records submitted by ACI on behalf of all of its customers to such B&C Processor during such period; or (y) such other method as ACI determines in its sole discretion is appropriate based on empirical data available to ACI. Customer-Specific Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, based on data provided to ACI by the applicable B&C Processor, ACI is able to directly attribute the amount of any such Reconciliation to its customers on a customer-by-customer basis, then ACI will charge to Customer, or refund to Customer, the applicable amount attributable to Customer as a result of such Reconciliation. The amount of any such refund will be applied in the following order: (i) as an offset against any amounts owed by Customer to ACI pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) as a cash payment to Customer within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such refund by ACI. 3. Taxes (a) Federal, State, and Local Taxes.

To the extent that any B&C Processor: (A) does not provide services, or that ACI does not provide such services, with respect to the calculation of the B&C Processor-Calculated Taxes; or (B) is not capable of receiving Foreign Intrastate Tax calculations from ACI, Customer will be responsible for the calculation of such taxes hereunder. (b) B&C Processor Responsibilities. ACI will have the authority, on behalf of Customer, to authorize the B&C Processors: (i) to calculate the B&C Processor-Calculated Taxes in the same manner as the B&C Processors calculate taxes for their end users; (ii) to bill and collect Foreign Intrastate Taxes as calculated and processed by ACI; and (iii) to establish the tax exempt status of End Users in the same manner as the B&C Processors establish such status for their end users. 28 (c) Payment of Taxes. Based solely upon the information received from the B&C Processors with respect to the B&C Processor-Calculated Taxes billed and collected by the B&C Processors, ACI will, on behalf of Customer and other subscribers of ACI, prepare and file in a timely manner with the applicable taxing authorities all returns covering the B&C Processor-Calculated Taxes and ACIcalculated Foreign Intrastate Taxes and will, on behalf of Customer and other subscribers of ACI, pay promptly and in full all of the B&C Processor-Calculated Taxes and ACI-calculated Foreign Intrastate Taxes collected by the B&C Processors from End Users to the appropriate taxing authorities.

Customer will indemnify and defend ACI and will hold ACI harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, that are asserted against or incurred by ACI as a result of or in connection with any of the matters referred to above. 4.
