(c) Customer shall have the right, in good faith, to dispute the amount of any Charges that are billed to Customer in accordance with Section 4.2(b) above by delivery of written notice of such dispute together with supporting documentation (a “Good Faith Dispute Notice”) to Supplier no later than thirty (30) days after Customer’s receipt of the applicable invoice; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall have no right to so dispute the amount of any Stipulated Charges (defined below), or to withhold timely payment of any Stipulated Charges under this Section 4.2(c) (provided that to the extent any Charges are determined by multiplying any Stipulated Charges that specify a rate at which Services are billed by a quantity of Services provided, this Section 4.2(c) shall apply to a dispute with respect to the amount of such Charges that is based on a dispute with respect to the quantity of Services that were provided (as opposed to a dispute based on the stipulated rate at which such Services are billed)). On the condition that Customer so delivers a Good Faith Dispute Notice within the time period specified above (time being of the essence), as and to the extent provided in this Section 4.2(c), Customer may withhold from payment (in accordance with Section 4.2(b) above) the amount of Charges so disputed (which, as provided above, shall not include any portion of any Stipulated Charges, other than as set forth above with respect to quantities of applicable Services) in such Good Faith Dispute Notice (“Disputed Charges”). Customer (and any sublicensee) and Supplier shall thereafter investigate in good faith the Disputed Charges, and shall endeavor to resolve the dispute regarding such Disputed Charges during the thirty (30) day period following the date of Customer’s delivery of such Good Faith Dispute Notice.

If Customer so delivers Good Faith Dispute Notice: (i) Customer will not be responsible for any late fees accruing on any such Disputed Charge and Customer’s failure to pay any Disputed Charges shall not provide the basis for a Customer Default, in each case, prior to the date that all or any portion of such Disputed Charges become payable under this Section 4.2(c), and (ii) Customer shall have no obligation to pay any interest on any such Disputed Charge to the extent that such amounts were erroneously charged to, and were not payable by Customer under the applicable Agreement. “Stipulated Charges” are any Charges for which a specific amount is expressly set out in the Agreement, including in this MCSA or in any Service Order. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall have no right to dispute under Section 4.2(c) or withhold payment of any Recurring MRC. (d) If Supplier owes Customer a credit or other amount under any Agreement, Supplier will pay that amount by check or wire transfer within thirty (30) days from claim notice. 4.3 Incidental and Out-of-Pocket Expenses. (a) Unless specifically confirmed in writing or expressly provided otherwise in an Agreement, Customer is not responsible for any additional costs or expenses of any nature incurred by Supplier in connection with the provisions of the Services, including travel expenses, clerical or administrative personnel, long distance telephone charges, etc. (“Incidental Expenses”); provided however, that the foregoing conditions shall not apply to any Incidental Expenses included in a third party invoice that Customer has agreed will be passed through from Supplier to Customer.

(a) This Section 4.4 (Taxes) sets forth the allocation of responsibility between the Parties for taxes arising out of or in relation to an Agreement.

Fees & Charges not received when due bear interest at the lesser of the maximum amount allowable by law or 1.5% per month commencing with the payment due date and assessed until the date paid. 5. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES 5.1 Customer Responsibilities, Generally. To facilitate Supplier’s performance of the Services, Customer (or its sublicensee) will, at its own cost and expense, perform those tasks and fulfill those responsibilities of Customer as set forth in the Agreement (“Customer Responsibilities”).

Customer’s (or its sublicensee’s) failure to perform any of the Customer Responsibilities (or cause them to be performed) will not constitute grounds for termination of the Agreement by Supplier except as provided in Section 8.4 (Termination by Supplier); provided, however, that Supplier’s nonperformance of its obligations under an Agreement will be excused if and to the extent (a) such performance by Supplier is conditioned upon Customer’s (or its sublicensee’s) performance of the applicable Customer Responsibilities or (b) otherwise if: (i) such nonperformance results from Customer’s failure to perform any Customer Responsibilities; and (ii) Supplier provides Customer with reasonable notice of such nonperformance and, if requested by Customer, uses commercially reasonable efforts to perform notwithstanding Customer’s failure to perform. If Supplier’s use of commercially

If Customer modifies any of the terms and conditions relevant to a proposed Transfer specified in the Transfer Request, Customer shall re-submit such Transfer Request to Supplier for its consent pursuant to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4(k). (ii) No Transfer shall release Customer from its obligations under any Agreement or alter the primary liability of Customer to pay all Charges and to perform all of the other obligations that are to be performed by the “Customer” under any Agreement. In no event shall the acceptance of any payment by Supplier from any other person be deemed a waiver by Supplier of any provision of any Agreement. Consent by Supplier to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer.

(a) If the whole or a material portion of the Facility or any Colocation Space is taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold to a governmental authority to prevent the exercise thereof (collectively, a “Taking”), the applicable Agreement or Agreements (that are affected by such Taking) shall automatically terminate as of the earlier of the date of transfer of title resulting from such Taking or the date of transfer of possession resulting from such Taking (the “Taking Date”).

Customer shall have the option to terminate the applicable Agreement or Agreements (that are affected by such Taking) upon the Taking Date by delivery of written notice to Supplier given at any time prior to the Taking Date. (c) If a portion of a Colocation Space is so taken and the applicable Agreement is not terminated: (i) Supplier shall, with reasonable diligence and at Supplier’s cost (to the extent of the condemnation award received by Supplier), proceed to restore (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) the applicable Colocation Space and the Facility (other than Customer Equipment) to a complete, functioning unit and (ii) the Charges payable hereunder shall be equitable reduced based on the portion of the Colocation Space that Customer is prevented from using for the Permitted Use as a result of such Taking. (d) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Section 10.2, the entire award for any Taking shall belong to Supplier (without deduction for any estate or interest of Customer), except that Customer shall be entitled to independently pursue a separate award for the loss of, or damage to, Customer Equipment and Customer’s relocation costs directly associated with the Taking (but Customer shall not otherwise assert any claim against Supplier or the condemning authority). No temporary Taking (for less than one hundred eighty (180) days days) of the Facility of any Customer (or any portion thereof) shall terminate any Agreement or entitle Customer to any abatement or reduction of the Charges payable by Customer hereunder; provided that any award for any such temporary Taking shall belong to Customer, but only to the extent that the award applies to any time period during the Term of the applicable Agreement. (e) This Section 10.2 shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a Taking, and each of Supplier and Customer hereby waives the provisions of any Laws to the contrary. 11.
