INVENTORY

The Customer is responsible for identifying the Lines and any Other Services which are to be included within the Inventory.

• Delay acceptance and activation of the Customer's order for BT Business Flex;

• Mean that lines do not receive the charges applicable to BT Business Flex; and

• Impact on the Customer's ability to meet the Committed Spend in which case a reconciliation charge may apply.

CHANGES TO THE INVENTORY

Adding Lines to the Inventory - where the additional Lines ("Additional Lines") are the same type as those already included in the Inventory ("Original Lines"), the Service Care Level and BT Business Flex charges applicable to the Original Lines will be applied to the Additional Lines. Where the Customer requires the Additional Lines to be subject to different Service Care Levels or BT Business Flex charges, the Customer must terminate the BT Business Flex contract (in which case a reconciliation charge may be payable subject to the migration rules set out below) and sign a new BT Business Flex contract.

Removing Lines and Other Services from the Inventory - where Lines and/or Other Services are removed from the Inventory the charges applicable to BT Business Flex will no longer apply to those Lines and/or Other Services and they will be charged in accordance with the Standard Contract. Where removal of a Line from the Inventory means that there are no longer any Lines in the Inventory, the BT Business Flex termination and reconciliation rules set out below will apply.

CONTRIBUTORY SPEND

The following spend will contribute towards the Committed Spend:

• Rental spend on the Lines included in the Inventory

• Spend on Calls initiated on Lines in the Inventory - Please note that spend on Calls initiated on Other Services are not Contributory Spend.

• The spend on Critical Care or Total Care on Lines in the Inventory where these apply.

International Direct Connect (IDC) calls will not contribute towards the Committed Spend.

RECONCILIATION

Where on the Spend Measurement Date, the Customer's Contributory Spend is less than 80%of the Committed Spend, a charge equal to 20%of the difference between the Customer's Contributory Spend and 80%of the Committed Spend will be applied.

The charge will be applied to the Customer's nominated PST account.

The rules regarding termination and reconciliation are set out below.

If the Standard Contract is not terminated the charges applicable to the Standard Contract will apply.

Termination of a Standard Contract Line and/or any Other Service will not terminate the BT Business Flex contract provided that at least one Line remains in the Inventory. Where termination of a Line means that there are no Lines in the Inventory, the BT Business Flex contract will terminate and reconciliation charges may apply (as detailed above under Reconciliation and below under Termination Before The End of the Minimum Period) in addition to any termination charges due under the Standard Contract for the Line and/or Other Services.
