8. MONITORING AND MODIFICATIONS. TWC shall have the right,but not the obligation,to monitor traffic and content on
<br /> its network, in its sole discretion, including through the use of automatic content filters(including without limitation spam, virus, and
<br /> adult language sniffers and filters). TWC shall have the right,but not the obligation,to upgrade, modify and enhance the Equipment
<br /> (including related firmware)and the Service and take any action that TWC deems appropriate to protect the Service and its facilities.
<br /> 9. TERMINATION.
<br /> a. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice of the other party's material breach,
<br /> provided that such material breach is not cured within such thirty(30)day period. TWC may terminate this Agreement
<br /> in the event that TWC is unable to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement due to Customer's (or a Customer
<br /> Employee's or Customer's branch office's)failure, or the failure of any owner or landlord controlling access or rights in
<br /> or to the property in question,to allow TWC access to space, equipment or software at any time during the Term of this
<br /> Agreement(referred to herein as an "Access Restriction"). In addition, in the event that Customer fails to comply with
<br /> any laws or regulations applicable to the use of the Service,the terms of this Agreement,or the Terms of Use,TWC may
<br /> suspend or discontinue Customer's Service in whole or in part upon ten(10) days advance notice; provided, however,
<br /> that if Customer demonstrates that it is diligently pursuing a cure for such failure within thirty(30)days,then TWC will
<br /> not suspend or discontinue Customer's Service. If Customer has not cured such failure within thirty (30) days, then
<br /> TWC may suspend or discontinue Customer's Service without further notice. In the event of a suspension, TWC may
<br /> require a reconnect charge to restart the suspended Service.
<br /> b. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement: (a) TWC's obligations hereunder shall cease; (b) Customer
<br /> promptly shall pay all amounts due and owing to TWC for Service delivered prior to the date of termination or
<br /> expiration, if any; (c) Customer promptly shall cease all use of any software provided by TWC hereunder, and shall
<br /> return such software to TWC; and (d) Customer shall return to TWC or permit TWC to remove, in TWC's sole
<br /> discretion, the Equipment in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Customer shall be
<br /> responsible for reimbursing TWC for the repair or replacement, at TWC's commercially reasonable discretion, of any
<br /> Equipment not returned in accordance with this section.
<br /> c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,upon early termination of this Agreement by Customer, or by TWC for
<br /> Customer's breach, Customer shall promptly pay TWC, in TWC's discretion, a termination fee equal to the Service
<br /> Charges that would have been due for the remainder of the Initial Term or the then-current renewal term, as applicable.
<br /> For the avoidance of doubt, by signing the Cover Sheet, Customer is committing to procure the Services for the full
<br /> Initial Term, unless Customer terminates this Agreement early pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9 as a result
<br /> of TWC's material uncured breach. Outside of that situation, if Customer, declines to receive or accept the Services,
<br /> Customer will still be billed for such Services and shall still be obligated to pay for such Services. The parties agree that
<br /> the remedies set forth herein for early termination are intended to establish liquidated damages in the event of such early
<br /> termination, since damages in such an event are difficult or impossible to ascertain, and these remedies are not intended
<br /> as a penalty. The foregoing shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies that TWC may have under this
<br /> Agreement or at law or equity relating to Customer's material breach.
<br /> d. Customer intends to fulfill this Agreement for the entire Term if funds are legally available to pay the Service Charges;
<br /> provided,however,that Customer may terminate the Agreement, without a termination fee or penalty, if funds sufficient
<br /> to pay the Customer's obligations under the Agreement are not appropriated. At least thirty(30)days prior to the end of
<br /> the then-current fiscal year, Customer shall certify in writing that(i)funds have not been appropriated for the next fiscal
<br /> period and(ii)such non-appropriation did not result from any act or failure by Customer.
<br /> 10. INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent permitted by applicable law and Customer's insurance policies, Customer agrees to
<br /> defend, indemnify and hold harmless TWC, its affiliates, its service providers and suppliers and their respective officers, directors,
<br /> employees and agents, from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including attorneys' and other professionals'
<br /> fees, arising out of or relating to (i)the use of the Service, including but not limited to a breach of Section 4 herein; or(ii)personal
<br /> injury or property damage caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Customer or its employees or agents. TWC agrees
<br /> to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer, its employees, officers and agents from and against all claims, liabilities, damages
<br /> and expenses, including attorneys' and other professionals' fees, arising out of or relating to personal injury or property damage
<br /> caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of TWC or its employees or agents.
<br /> 11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. CUSTOMER ASSUMES TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR USE OF THE SERVICE AND
<br /> THE INTERNET AND ACCESSES THE SAME AT ITS OWN RISK. TWC EXERCISES NO CONTROL OVER AND HAS NO
<br /> RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR THE CONTENT TRANSMITTED OR ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE SERVICE OR

<br /> FOR SUCH CONTENT OR ACTIONS. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE SERVICE AND RELATED
