<br /> relating to its performance obligations specified in the Service Agreement. The Service Agreement is subject to all applicable federal,
<br /> state or local laws and regulations in effect in the relevant jurisdiction(s)in which Spectrum provides the Services. If any provision of the
<br /> Service Agreement contravenes or is in conflict with any such law or regulation,then the terms of such law or regulation shall take priority
<br /> over the relevant provision of the Service Agreement. If the relevant law or regulation applies to some but not all of the Services being
<br /> provided under the Service Agreement,then such law or regulation shall take priority over the relevant provision of the Service Agreement
<br /> only for purposes of those Services to which the law or regulation applies. Except as explicitly stated in the Service Agreement, nothing

<br /> to any facilities used by Spectrum in providing the Service, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Spectrum may pass through to
<br /> Customer any such increased fees or costs, but only to the extent of the actual increase. Spectrum shall use commercially reasonable
<br /> efforts to notify Customer at least thirty(30)days in advance of the increase. In such case,and if such increase materially increases the
<br /> Service Charges payable by Customer under the Service Agreement for the applicable Service, Customer may, within thirty (30)days
<br /> after notification of such increase, terminate the affected Service without an obligation to pay Termination Charges, provided Customer
<br /> notifies Spectrum at least thirty (30) days in advance of Customer's requested termination date. Further, in the event that Spectrum is
<br /> required to file tariffs, rate schedules, or price guides with a regulatory agency or otherwise publish or make generally available its rates
<br /> in accordance with regulatory agency rules or policies respecting the delivery of the Service or any portion thereof, then the terms set
<br /> forth in the applicable tariff, rate schedule,or price guide shall govern Spectrum's delivery of,and Customer's use or consumption of the
<br /> Service. In addition, if Spectrum determines that offering or providing the Service,or any part thereof,has become impracticable for legal
<br /> or regulatory reasons or circumstances,then Spectrum may terminate the Service Agreement and any affected Service Orders without
<br /> liability, by giving Customer thirty (30) days prior notice or any such notice as is required by law or regulation applicable to such
