IV. Contract Amount
The total amount of this contract will not exceed $10,301.04 (Ten Thousand Three
Hundred One Dollars and Four Cents).
V. Payment for Services
Receiving Party will remit payments to Performing Party for services satisfactorily
performed under this Contract in accordance with the Texas Prompt Payment Act,
Chapter 2251, Texas Government Code.
Payments made under this Contract will (1) fairly compensate Performing Party for the
services performed under this Contract, and (2) be made from current revenues
available to Receiving Party.
On the City of Fort Worth's behalf, UT System OTS has entered into a third-party contract
with AT&T for the OPTEMAN aggregation port at University of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center in Dallas into which the City of Fort Worth's OPTEMAN circuit terminates.
Thus, the UT System OTS-procured OPTEMAN aggregation port completes City of Fort
Worth's connection to the UT System QTS network.
The duration of the third party contract with AT&T is 36 months, which began July 1,
201 S. Consequently that contract will continue in effect beyond the expiration of this
12-month agreement between UT System OTS and the City of Fort Worth.Therefore, in
the event that the City of Fort Worth should cancel this agreement or should fail to
renew this agreement for consecutive periods that overlap the 36-month period of the
third party contract with AT&T, the City of Fort Worth agrees to reimburse to UT System
OTS an amount that represents the City of Fort Worth's proportional share of AT&T's
early termination fee for the OPTEMAN aggregation port. UT System OTS anticipates that
this would be equal to or less than one-half of$281.51 times the number of months
remaining on the UT System OTS-AT&T contract at the point in time when the City of
Fort Worth ceased to use the UT OPTEMAN aggregation port.

Appendix A:THEnet Use Policy at The University of Texas at Austin
Network Abuse
Office of Telecommunication Services ("QTS")takes a direct and immediate interest in
protecting the operational integrity of the network from any activity at a THEnet
subscriber site which causes disruption of communications services on THEnet or
elsewhere on the Internet. In order to protect the network from any such occurrence,
THEnet subscriber organizations must be able to physically locate any given computer
based on the IP address assigned to it and, upon request, remove that computer from
the network or revoke the computer user's access to that and other computers, as
appropriate. In any case where on-going disruption of communications services on
THEnet or elsewhere on the Internet is traceable to a particular THEnet subscriber
organization and such activity cannot be controlled by that subscriber, then the
subscriber's THEnet connection may be shut down until the disruptive activity has
ceased.
IP Spoofed Address Denial of Service (Dos)Attacks
QTS requires that THEnet subscribers configure their router(s) in such a way as to
prevent their site's participation in so-called 'smurf and other IP spoofed address attacks
on other Internet sites.
The intended result of this policy is 1) to prevent a smurf attack or other IP spoofed
address attack from originating at a THEnet subscriber site, and 2) to prevent the use of
a THEnet subscriber as an intermediary'amplifier'site.
Please see "Preventing IP Spoofed Address Denial of Service (DoS)Attacks"document at
http://www.the.net/tools/docs/dosattacks.php for an example of how to configure your
router against DoS attacks.
Spam
Transmission of unsolicited bulk email ("Spam") by a THEnet subscriber is strictly
prohibited, including the maintenance by a THEnet subscriber of'open relay' systems
permitting such transmission by third parties.Additionally, a THEnet subscriber may not
host a network service (web-based or other) that is advertised in unsolicited bulk email,
even though such email originates in other networks. Repeated infractions of this Spam
policy will be considered grounds for termination of THEnet service.
Resale of THEnet Connectivity
The resale of THEnet/Internet access by any THEnet subscriber is prohibited.
