Effective January, 2019

The following policies apply to mass-market broadband Internet services offered by Telephone Electronics Corporation ("TEC"). TEC also offers enterprise level services that can be individually tailored to customer needs. It is TEC's policy to provide robust and reliable access to the Internet for all of its residential mass-market end users and commercial customers. Because network resources are shared by all users, TEC has implemented the following policies to govern mass-market Internet service. These policies are designed to: (a) ensure that shared network resources are allocated fairly among all users; (b) allow users and prospective users to understand service policies and any significant limitations on the service; and © provide a foundation that assures customers that they can rely on consistently receiving the level and quality of service to which they subscribe. TEC does not block access to, nor discriminate against, any legal Web site or Internet application and, with respect to fixed Internet access services, supports the ability of users to select and attach the equipment of their choice to the network so long as that equipment: (a) is used for a lawful purpose consistent with TEC's Acceptable Use Policy; and (b) does not harm the network or degrade network performance for other users. Customers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the following policies which are deemed part of their Service Agreement. By using TEC's Internet service, the customer accepts, agrees to be bound by and to strictly adhere to these policies. The customer also agrees to be responsible for compliance with these policies by third-parties, such as friends, family members or guests that make use of the customer's service accounts or equipment to access the network for any purpose, with or without the permission of the customer.

Acceptable Use Policy

Introduction

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP")(which includes a Privacy Policy and Customer Usage Agreement), is intended to provide a general understanding of TEC's policy on acceptable use of the TEC Internet Service (the Service). It is also designed to help protect our Service, our subscribers and the Internet community from irresponsible or illegal activities. We hope and expect that common sense and good judgment will guide all of our subscribers' Internet activities. However, TEC may take such action as it deems appropriate, including termination of Service, against any subscriber or account user for violations of their Internet Service Usage Agreement or of this AUP. Please also review your Internet Service Usage Agreement. The key contributing factors to decisions and actions taken in response to violations of this AUP include, but are not limited to, protection of our subscribers and our resources, provision of quality service to our subscribers, compliance with applicable laws and the protection of our reputation as a service provider. If a subscriber's account is involved in a violation of this AUP, TEC reserves the right to suspend, terminate, or take other appropriate action with the subscriber's account without notice. In the event that an account is deactivated or canceled as a result of any activities proscribed by this AUP, the account may be subject to set-up fees, reactivation charges and/or deposit requirements, to be determined by TEC if such account is permitted to be re-activated or re-established. Subscribers whose accounts have been canceled for misuse or violation of the Internet Service Usage Agreement or this AUP are not entitled to re-register for the Service without express written approval from TEC. Any further registrations for the Service by or for the subscriber whose account has been terminated for such activities may be rejected or the new account(s) may be terminated upon discovery.

TEC may, but is not required to, monitor your compliance or the compliance of other subscribers, with the terms, conditions, or policies of the Service Agreement and AUP. You acknowledge that TEC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pre-screen, refuse, move, or remove any content available on the service, including, but not limited to, content that violates the law or this Agreement.

A. General Policy

TEC reserves the sole discretion to deny or restrict your service, or immediately to suspend or terminate your service, if the use of your service by you or anyone using it, violates the Service Agreement or other TEC policies, is used in connection with any unlawful activity or in a manner that annoys, harasses, or threatens other users, interferes with the functioning or use of the Internet or the TEC network by TEC or other users, or that in any way violates the terms of this AUP.

TEC is committed to complying with the FCC’s TRACED Act (FCC-20-42A1), and requires all customers and users of TEC’s Voice Service to comply with these laws. Accordingly, you may not use TEC equipment, network, facilities, or voice or broadband service in any way to engage in or otherwise permit illegal robocalling or spoofing activities. Violations could result in a suspension of service pending investigation, and could carry additional fines and penalties under the direction of the FCC and/or PSC.

B. Specific Examples of AUP Violations

The following are examples of conduct which may lead to termination of your Service. Without limiting the General Policy in Section A, it is a violation of the Agreement and this AUP to: (a) access without permission or right the accounts or computer systems of others, to spoof the URL, DNS, or IP addresses of TEC or any other entity, to penetrate the security measures of TEC or any other person's computer system, or to attempt any of the foregoing; (b) transmit uninvited communications, data, or information or engage in other similar activities, including without limitation, "spamming", "flaming," or denial-of-service attacks; © intercept, interfere with, or redirect e-mail or other transmissions sent by or to others; (d) introduce viruses, worms, harmful code, or Trojan horses on the Internet; (e) post off-topic information on message boards, chat rooms, or social networking sites; (f) engage in conduct that is defamatory, fraudulent, obscene, illegal, or deceptive; (g) violate TEC's or any third-party's copyright, trademark, proprietary, or other intellectual property rights; (h) engage in any conduct harmful to the TEC network, the Internet generally, or other Internet users; (i) use the service to violate any rule, policy, or guideline of TEC; (j) use the service in any fashion for the transmission or dissemination of images containing child pornography or in a manner that is obscene, sexually explicit, cruel, or racist in nature or which espouses, promotes, or incites bigotry, hatred, or racism; (k) knowingly collect or solicit personal information from a minor or use this Service to harm a minor including, but not limited to, using the Service to send pornographic, obscene, or profane materials involving a minor; download or use the Service in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria, or in any destination that is otherwise controlled or embargoed under U.S. law, as modified from time-to-time by the Departments of Treasury and Commerce. Unless otherwise specified in the subscriber's Pricing Plan Agreement, unauthorized uses include, but are not limited to, large file transfers, streaming audio, streaming video, sharing of accounts and/or connections on unlimited usage plans with anyone other than immediate family members in the same dwelling. All unauthorized uses are strictly prohibited. The Service cannot be resold or otherwise made available to anyone on the Premises or outside the Premises (i.e. Wi-Fi, "hotspots", or other methods of networking), directly or indirectly, unless done with TEC's written approval in accordance with an applicable Service plan. The Service cannot be made available to anyone other than you or your authorized employees or contractors unless done with TEC's written approval in accordance with an applicable Service plan. The Service cannot be used to send unsolicited bulk or commercial messages or "spam" in violation of the law. The Service cannot be used to run servers unless you have selected a Service plan which includes a static or statically assigned IP address. Reselling Service without express written consent from TEC or offering any information service using such accounts, such as running an e-mail server, Web server, FTP server, or proxy server is also prohibited. Subscribers wanting to provide public or commercial services using the Service must subscribe to TEC Internet for Business services.

C. Copyright Infringement/Repeat Infringer Policy

TEC respects the intellectual property rights of third-parties. Accordingly, you may not store any material or use TEC's systems or servers in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, including under US copyright law. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable laws, it is the policy of TEC to suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the service provided to any subscriber or account holder who is deemed to infringe third-party intellectual property rights, including repeat infringers of copyrights. In addition, TEC expressly reserves the right to suspend, terminate, or take other interim action regarding the service of any user or account holder if TEC, in its sole judgment, believes that circumstances relating to an infringement of third-party intellectual property rights warrant such action. For more information, please see TEC's DMCA policy located at https://www.tec.com/legal.

D. System Performance

TEC provides residential and commercial mass-market customers with a choice of data plans to meet their needs. TEC also provides enterprise level services that are custom tailored to a specific project and individually priced based on the needs and criteria established by the Enterprise customer. TEC offers a variety of mass-market services and typical speed ranges, which can be found at the following locations:

Residential plans can be found at https://www.tec.com/Residential/Internet Business services can be found at https://www.tec.com/Business/Internet

While TEC provisions its network and equipment to ensure that its customers can enjoy the speeds to which they subscribe, Internet speeds generally result from a "best effort" service and are dependent on a number of variables, many of which are outside the control of an Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). Such variables include: the age and processing capability of the user's terminal device or computer; the number of applications running simultaneously; the presence of viruses or malware; whether the terminal equipment is connected to the network by wire or wireless; the distance the data packets must travel between the user and the Web site; the presence of congestion on and technical configuration of any intervening networks; and any gating or congestion management schemes employed by Web sites to limit download or upload speeds in cases where multiple users are served simultaneously. ISP does not guarantee that a customer will achieve the speeds set forth above at all times. Rather, the foregoing data speeds represent the best information available to TEC of the typical speeds a customer can expect to experience under normal operating conditions.

Speed tests that allow customers to test the upload, download and latency performance of their broadband data services are available free of charge from a number of sources. Generally, these tests are influenced by the same variables that affect Internet speed set forth above. Accordingly, the speed results would not be expected to match a test of TEC's network conducted under laboratory conditions. Please note, however, that all speed tests use different methodologies to calculate Internet connection speed so each of the tests would be expected to yield different results. Each of these tests should be viewed as a helpful guide rather than as a definitive measurement of performance. The following sites, unaffiliated with TEC, provide speed testing:

http://www.speedtest.net http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu http://www.broadband.gov/qualitytest/about/

E. Network Management

TEC utilizes a fully redundant network architecture that is designed to provide users with true broadband speeds and reliability even during times of peak demand. The network has been constructed to meet projected traffic demands and is fully scalable to allow for capacity to be added to meet customer needs and to support newly developing and increasingly sophisticated applications well into the future. However, congestion can occur on any IP network, and when it does, packets can be delayed or dropped, leading to service degradation and delays. Because network resources are shared by all end users, TEC has implemented a Traffic Management Policy that is designed to ensure that all users are able to utilize their fair share of network resources during periods of high demand.

TEC employs a Protocol Agnostic Congestion Management Policy that does not discriminate against particular applications. Users remain free to access the Web sites of their choice and run the applications of their choice, consistent with the AUP. TEC deploys quality of service and network management servers and software that constantly monitor aggregate network traffic levels. It should be noted that when a user's traffic is assigned a lower priority status, their data packets will not be delayed or dropped as long as the aggregate traffic on their segment does not exceed provisioned capacity for the segment as a whole. However, in cases where demand exceeds capacity, it is possible that the data traffic of any user could be delayed.

Prioritization of packets can be used for other purposes as well, such as to ensure the reliability of applications that demand real-time or near-real-time communications such as public safety communications and, in the context of mobile data services, E-911 communications. Generally, provisioned data speeds for TEC's mass-market services are sufficient to support such applications as Voice over IP (VoIP), gaming, web-surfing, or most streaming video. However, because TEC's residential mass-market broadband service generally does not prioritize such traffic, it is possible that certain applications requiring real-time communications may perform at less than optimal levels, especially during periods of peak network demand.

TEC does take measures to protect its network and ensure that its AUP is enforced. For example, TEC has deployed measures to prevent "spam," viruses and other malware, and to monitor and prevent denial-of-service attacks. TEC does not generally interfere with or manage the use of specific protocols or ports. However, for overall network security, TEC blocks the following TCP/UDP ports and protocols:

TCP Ports — 135, 137, 138, 139, 445, 593, 4444 UDP Ports — 135, 137, 138, 139, 161, 162, 445, 3544, 8998 Protocols — 41, 43, 44, 53, 55, 58, 59, 60, 77

F. Device Attachment Rules

With respect to fixed broadband services, users may generally attach the devices of their choice and run the applications of their choice, subject to the limitations of their Data Usage Management Plan, the terms of the Internet Usage Service Agreement and this AUP. While many devices such as routers, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi cards, laptops, notebooks and tablets are readily available from third-party sources, other devices, such as DSL modems and proprietary network gateways must be provided by or leased from TEC. Users are advised to contact TEC's Technical Support at http://www.tec.com/Support before purchasing any third-party equipment to ensure compatibility with the network. TEC is not responsible for the compatibility, suitability, or functionality of any equipment that is provided by the customer or any third-party, and the customer remains fully responsible for insuring that any such equipment does not cause any harm to the network or degrade the service of other users.

All users are fully responsible for securing their equipment, including wireless routers, to prevent unauthorized access to the network by third-parties and will be held fully responsible for the actions of such third-parties that gain unauthorized access to the network through unsecured end user equipment.

Customer may connect up to 5 devices to the internet service and may buy an additional block of 5 connections for $10.00 per month.

G. Pricing

Plans and pricing are located at https://www.tec.com.

TEC reserves the right in its sole discretion to deny or restrict customer's use of the Services, or immediately to suspend or terminate those Services, if the use of the Services by customer or others, in TEC's sole discretion, violates this Acceptable Use Policy, Terms of Service or any other Service Provider policies, is objectionable or unlawful, or interferes with the functioning or use of the Internet or TEC's network.

H. Changing or Cancelling Service

If you cancel your service, you must pay for your use of the service up until the date on which you cancelled, any early termination fees and applicable taxes. If the service was not under a term and customer received free equipment and installation as a promotion, the customary fees for the modem and installation must be reimbursed if customer disconnects before paying for 12 months of service.

If, during the minimum service term, you decide to change to another TEC service plan (for example, one with different rates or usage allowances) or to add additional services to your plan, TEC has the right to restart the minimum service term from the beginning of the change in plan or addition of service.

I. "Hacking"

Subscribers will not use, or allow others to use, the Service to access the accounts of others, to attempt to penetrate security measures of the Service or other computer systems ("hacking"), or to cause a disruption of the Service to other on-line users. This includes, but is not limited to, achieving, attempting to achieve, or assisting others in achieving or attempting to achieve, any unauthorized access to any computer, cable or telecommunications system, network, software, data, information, or any other proprietary material.

Subscribers also will not use, or allow others to use, tools designed for compromising network security, such as password-guessing programs, cracking tools, packet sniffers, or network probing tools. In addition, Subscribers will not participate in, or allow others to participate in, the collection of e-mail addresses, screen names, or other identifiers of others (without their prior consent), a practice known as spidering or harvesting, or participate in the use of software (including "adware" or "spyware") designed to facilitate this activity.

J. Censorship

TEC does not intend to censor the content of any newsgroups or other communications passing through its systems. We believe such choices should generally be left to the individual subscriber. Software tools are available to screen a subscriber account's access to newsgroups and Web sites that might be considered offensive. It is the subscriber's responsibility to make use of such tools if desired. Newsgroup postings and other e-mail messages sent via the Service and the Internet are communications between the senders and consenting receivers thereof, and TEC has neither the authority nor the responsibility to regulate their content. The views and comments expressed by the senders of such postings or messages are solely those of their authors and do not reflect any review, approval, or endorsement by TEC. TEC will, however, attempt to assist subscribers who continually receive e-mail they deem to be objectionable and/or unsolicited e-mail and who notify TEC of the problem.

K. E-mail

Notices from TEC Subscribers may receive announcements from time-to-time from TEC via e-mail regarding various aspects of the Service, including notices of feature upgrades or changes, Service-affecting issues or events, special offers for Service users from TEC distribution partners or other parties, etc.

Unsolicited E-mail Sending mass, unsolicited e-mail is prohibited. TEC Internet Service reserves the right, in TEC's sole discretion, to determine whether such e-mail constitutes unsolicited messages or transmission. Sending unsolicited e-mail advertising a service or Web site, newsgroup, etc., located or hosted within the Service domain space or address space, or service otherwise associated with the Service is also prohibited regardless of e-mail point of origin.

Additionally, using a TEC Internet Service e-mail address or Web site address to collect responses from unsolicited e-mail is prohibited.

Subscribers are prohibited from engaging in the following activities while using the Service:

• Intercepting, redirecting, or otherwise interfering or attempting to interfere with e-mail intended for other parties;

• Forging headers or identifiers in order to disguise the origin of e-mail;

• Mailing or sending files that contain copyrighted, commercial software or other material protected by intellectual property laws (or by rights of privacy or publicity) unless the user owns or controls the rights thereto or has received all necessary consents;

• Knowingly deleting any author attributions, legal notices, or proprietary designations or labels in a file that the user mails or sends;

• Publishing, posting, distributing, or disseminating defamatory, infringing, obscene, or other unlawful material or information;

• Using the Service or systems to threaten, harass, stalk, abuse, or otherwise violate the legal rights (including rights of privacy and publicity) of others;

• Advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software, program, product, or service that is designed to violate this AUP or the AUP of any other Internet Service Provider, including, but not limited to, the facilitation of the means to "spam"; or

• Harvesting or collecting information on others including e-mail addresses.

L. "Spam" Damages

TEC Internet Service may immediately terminate any account which it determines, in its sole discretion, is transmitting or is otherwise connected with any "spam" or other unsolicited bulk e-mail.

M. Viruses

Subscribers may not, through action or inaction, allow the transmission of files that contain a virus or corrupted data. In order to protect our subscribers and our network, TEC may suspend and/or cancel a subscriber's account if we believe that it is transmitting a virus to other Internet users or our network.

N. Other Service Providers' Acceptable Use Policies

TEC obtains services from and relies upon many other entities to provide the Service to Subscribers. Where Subscribers access services of other entities through the Service, Subscriber agrees to and shall abide by the publicized acceptable use policies of such other known entities.

O. Revisions to Policy

TEC reserves the right to update or modify this Policy at any time, with or without prior notice. Continued use of the Service will be deemed acknowledgment and acceptance of this Policy. Notice of modifications to this Policy may be given by posting such changes to TEC's homepage www.tec.com, by electronic mail, or by conventional mail, and will be effective immediately upon posting or sending. Subscribers should regularly visit TEC's Web site and review this Policy to ensure that their activities conform to the most recent version. In the event of a conflict between any subscriber or customer agreement and this AUP, the terms of the AUP will govern. Questions regarding this AUP should be directed to [email protected]. Complaints of violations by TEC customers can be directed to [email protected].

P. Miscellaneous

Subscribers will not use, or allow others to use, the Service to violate any applicable federal, state, local, or international laws or regulations or to promote illegal activity, including, but not limited to, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, posting or transmitting child pornography or obscene material, gambling, the offering for sale of illegal weapons or substances, the promotion or publication of any material that may violate hate crime laws, or by exporting software or technical information in violation of U.S. export control laws. Subscribers also will not use, or allow others to use, the Service to commit a crime, act of terrorism or fraud, or to plan, encourage or help others to commit a crime or fraud, including but not limited to, acts of terrorism, engaging in a pyramid or Ponzi scheme, or sending chain letters that request money or other items of value. Subscribers are also prohibited from engaging in any other behavior as reasonably determined by TEC to be unacceptable. This includes any behavior deemed unacceptable by other ISPs, behavior which is in violation of generally acceptable "Netiquette" practices, behavior which causes TEC or the Service to be viewed unfavorably by others, or other behavior which may cause the Service to be adversely affected via e-mail or news blocking, or which may cause TEC to appear on detrimental lists for "spamming," etc.

E. Intended Use of Service: Prohibited Uses

Unless otherwise authorized by us in writing, you may only use a single user account solely for your use of the Service through one unit per login session. You may not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, provision, resell, rent, lend, pledge, directly or indirectly transfer, distribute, or exploit any portion of the Service without TEC's prior written consent. You will not use the Service in a manner prohibited by any federal, state, or local law or regulation, and will abide by TEC's Policies, which set forth additional rules that govern your activity in connection with the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you may not use the Service, or allow the Service to be used, for any abusive purpose, or in any way that damages TEC's property or interferes with or disrupts TEC's network or other users or subscribers. You agree not to share your IP address or Internet connection with anyone. You may connect up to 5 devices, but additional devices will require additional charges and may also require an upgrade in your service plan to accommodate these devices. You agree that sharing the Service with another party breaches the Agreement and may constitute fraud or theft, for which TEC, its affiliates and their agents reserve all rights and remedies. You have no proprietary or ownership rights to a specific IP or other address, log-in name, or password that you use on our network. We may change your address, log-in name, or password at any time. We will assign you an IP address each time you access the Service, and it will vary. You shall not program any other IP address into your Device or any other equipment. You may not assign your log-in name, password, or IP address to any other person, Device, or other equipment.

W. ARBITRATION; CHOICE OF LAW; STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; JURY WAIVER
