Excessive traffic is defined as any amount of email that consumes more than 10MB of disk storage space per individual mailbox or any volume of email traffic that noticeably degrades performance on the server in question, in the sole discretion of LTC. Stored mail exceeding these limits may be transferred to a compressed file at LTC’s discretion. LTC will attempt to notify the account holder via the account contact information on record; however LTC reserves the right to delete the contents of such email boxes upon thirty (30) days after attempted notification. The Broadband Service may not be used to communicate or distribute e‐mail or other forms of communications in violation of Section I of this AUP. As described below in Section III of this AUP, LTC uses reasonable network management tools and techniques to protect customers from receiving spam and from sending spam (often without their knowledge over an infected computer). LTC is not responsible for deleting or forwarding any e‐mail sent to the wrong e‐mail address by you or by someone else trying to send e‐mail to you. LTC is also not responsible for forwarding e‐mail sent to any account that has been suspended or terminated. This e‐mail will be returned to the sender, ignored, deleted, or stored temporarily at LTC's sole discretion. In the event that LTC believes in its sole discretion that any subscriber name, account name, or e‐mail address (collectively, an “identifier”) on the Broadband Service may be used for, or is being used for, any misleading, fraudulent, or other improper or illegal purpose, LTC (i) reserves the right to block access to and prevent the use of any of these identifiers and (ii) may at any time require any customer to change his or her identifier. In addition, LTC may at any time reserve any identifiers on the Broadband Service for LTC's own purposes.

III. Network Management and Limitations on Data Consumption

LTC manages its network with the goal of delivering a fast, safe and uncompromised broadband Internet experience to all of its customers. But, high‐speed bandwidth and network resources are not unlimited. Managing the network is essential for the promotion ofbest possible Broadband Internet experience by all of LTC’s customers. The company uses reasonable network management practices that are consistent with industry standards. LTC tries to use tools and technologies that are minimally intrusive and, in its independent judgment guided by industry experience, among the best in class. Of course, the company's network management practices will change and evolve along with the uses of the Internet and the challenges and threats on the Internet. All broadband Internet service providers manage their networks. Many of them use the same or similar tools that LTC does. If the company didn't manage its network, its customers would be subject to the negative effects of spam, viruses, security attacks, network congestion, and other risks and degradations of service. By engaging in responsible network management including enforcement of this AUP, LTC can deliver the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its customers. Visit LTC's website at www.lentel.com for more information.

A. Network Management

LTC uses various tools and techniques to manage its network, deliver the Broadband Service, and ensure compliance with this AUP and the Subscriber Agreement. These tools and techniques are dynamic, like the network and its usage, and can and do change frequently. LTC’s network management practices may include

1. identifying spam and preventing its delivery to customer e‐mail accounts,
2. detecting malicious Internet traffic and preventing the distribution of viruses or [Type text] other harmful code or content,
3. temporarily lowering the priority of traffic for users who are the top contributors to current network congestion, and
4. using other tools and techniques that LTC may be required to implement in order to meet its goal of delivering the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its customers.

B. Network Usage and Data Consumption Restrictions

You acknowledge that all of the LTC Internet services are intended for periodic, active use of email, user newsgroups, transfers via FTP, Internet chat, Internet games, and browsing of the Internet. You must comply with all current bandwidth, data storage, and other limitations on the LTC Internet Services established by LTC and LTC suppliers. You agree not to intentionally use the LTC Internet Services on a standby or inactive basis in order to maintain a connection. The excessive use or abuse of LTC’s network resources by one Customer may have a negative impact on all other Customers. Accordingly, you may not use the LTC Internet Services or take any action, directly or indirectly, that will result in excessive consumption or utilization of the system or network resources, or which may weaken network performance, as determined in LTC’s sole discretion. Such prohibited actions include, but are not limited to: using the LTC Internet Services to host a web server site which attracts excessive traffic at your location, continuously uploading or downloading streaming video or audio, use net hosting, continuous FTP uploading or downloading, or acting in a manner that negatively effects other users’ ability to engage in real time exchanges and use of the LTC Internet Services. The Broadband Service is for personal and non‐commercial residential use only. Therefore, LTC reserves the right to suspend or terminate Broadband Service accounts where data consumption is not characteristic of a typical residential user of the Broadband Service as determined by LTC in its sole discretion. LTC has established a monthly data consumption threshold per LTC Broadband Internet account of 250 Gigabytes (“GB”). Use of the Broadband Service in excess of 250GB per month is excessive use and is a violation of the AUP. See the LTC’s website at www.lentel.com to learn how LTC applies this AUP to excessive use. Common activities that may cause excessive data consumption in violation of this AUP include, but are not limited to, numerous or continuous bulk transfers of files and other high capacity traffic using

1. file transfer protocol (“FTP”),
2. peer‐to‐peer applications, and
3. newsgroups.

You must also ensure that your use of the Broadband Service does not restrict, inhibit, interfere with, or degrade any other person's use of the Broadband Service, nor represent (as determined by LTC in its sole discretion) an overly large burden on the network. In addition, you must ensure that your use of the Broadband Service does not limit or interfere with LTC's ability to deliver and monitor the Broadband Service or any part of its network. If you use the Broadband Service in violation of the restrictions referenced above, that is a violation of this AUP. In these cases, LTC may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your Broadband Service account or request that you subscribe to a version of the Broadband Service (such as a commercial grade Internet service, if appropriate) if you wish to continue to use the Broadband Service at higher data consumption levels. LTC may also provide versions of the Broadband Service with different speed and data consumption limitations, among other characteristics, subject to applicable Broadband Service plans. [Type text] LTC's determination of the data consumption for Broadband Service accounts is final.

IV. Violation of this Acceptable Use Policy

LTC reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate your Broadband Service account and terminate the Subscriber Agreement if you violate the terms of this AUP or the Subscriber Agreement. LTC does not routinely monitor the activity of individual Broadband Service accounts for violations of this AUP, except for determining aggregate data consumption in connection with the data consumption provisions of this AUP. However, in the company's efforts to promote good citizenship within the Internet community, it will respond appropriately if it becomes aware of inappropriate use of the Broadband Service. LTC has no obligation to monitor the Broadband Service and/or the network. However, LTC and its suppliers reserve the right at any time to monitor bandwidth, usage, transmissions, and content in order to, among other things, operate the Broadband Service; identify violations of this AUP; and/or protect the network, the Broadband Service and LTC users. LTC prefers to inform customers of inappropriate activities and give them a reasonable period of time in which to take corrective action. LTC also prefers to have customers directly resolve any disputes or disagreements they may have with others, whether customers or not, without LTC's intervention. However, if the Broadband Service is used in a way that LTC or its suppliers, in their sole discretion, believe violates this AUP, LTC or its suppliers may take any responsive actions they deem appropriate under the circumstances with or without notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, temporary or permanent removal of content, cancellation of newsgroup posts, filtering of Internet transmissions, and the immediate suspension or termination of all or any portion of the Broadband Service (including but not limited to newsgroups). Neither LTC nor its affiliates, suppliers, or agents will have any liability for any of these responsive actions. These actions are not LTC's exclusive remedies and LTC may take any other legal or technical actions it deems appropriate with or without notice. LTC reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this AUP, including the gathering of information from the user or users involved and the complaining party, if any, and examination of material on LTC's servers and network. During an investigation, LTC may suspend the account or accounts involved and/or remove or block material that potentially violates this AUP. You expressly authorize and consent to LTC and its suppliers cooperating with

1. law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected legal violations, and
2. and system administrators at other Internet service providers or other network or computing facilities in order to enforce this AUP.

Upon termination of your Broadband Service account, LTC is authorized to delete any files, programs, data, e‐mail and other messages associated with your account (and any secondary accounts). The failure of LTC or its suppliers to enforce this AUP, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of any right to do so at any time. You agree that if any portion of this AUP is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LTC and its affiliates, suppliers, and [Type text] agents against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any violation of this AUP. Your indemnification will survive any termination of the Subscriber Agreement. V. Copyright and Digital Millennium Copyright Act Requirements LTC is committed to complying with U.S. copyright and related laws, and requires all customers and users of the Broadband Service to comply with these laws. Accordingly, you may not store any material or content on, or disseminate any material or content over, the Broadband Service (or any part of the Broadband Service) in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including rights granted by U.S. copyright law. Owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may take advantage of certain provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) to report alleged infringements. It is LTC's policy in accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws to reserve the right to terminate the Broadband Service provided to any customer or user who is either found to infringe third party copyright or other intellectual property rights, including repeat infringers, or who LTC, in its sole discretion, believes is infringing these rights. LTC may terminate the Broadband Service at any time with or without notice for any affected customer or user.
