Jurisdictional Reports When the Company is unable to determine the jurisdictional nature of the Customer’s traffic, the Customer shall report the Percent of Interstate Use (PIU) by LATA and such report will be used for billing purposes. Effective on the first of January, April, July and October of each year the Customer shall update the jurisdictional report. The Customer shall forward to the Company, to be received no later than twenty (20) days after the first of each such month, a revised report showing the intrastate and interstate percent of use for the past twelve (12) months ending the last day of December, March, June and September, respectively for each LATA. The revised report will serve as the basis for the next three (3) months billing and will be effective on the bill date for that service. No prorating or back billing will be done based on the revised report. If the Customer does not supply the jurisdictional reports, the Company may deem the Customer to have reported percentages that are the same as those provided in the last quarterly report. For those cases in which a quarterly report has never been received from the Customer, the Company may deem the Customer to have reported percentages that are the same as those provided in the order for service. Absent percentages supplied (or deemed by the Company to have been supplied) by the Customer, the Company will, only for that portion of the Customer’s usage for which the Company is unable to determine the appropriate jurisdiction, bill the Customer’s usage at the jurisdictional rate which produces the highest charge. This default billing procedure will remain in effect until the Customer: provides call detail information to the Company pursuant to 2.3.11 following (if the provision of such information would permit the Company to determine jurisdiction), supplies the necessary jurisdictional percentages, or agrees with the Company on an alternate default billing procedure.

Jurisdictional Audits The Customer shall keep sufficient detail from which the percentages of use reported to the Company (or deemed by the Company to have been reported) can be verified and upon request of the Company make such records available for inspection and audit. The Customer shall supply the required data to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days of the Company request. The Customer must maintain these records for 24 months from the date the report became effective for billing purposes. Initiation of an audit will be at the sole discretion of the Company. The audit shall be performed by an independent party selected by the Company. An audit may be initiated by the Company for a single Customer no more than once per year. In the event that an inspection or audit reveals that any Customer reported percentages of use were incorrect, the Company shall apply the inspection or audit result to all usage affected by the inspection or audit. The Customer shall be back billed or credited, for a period retroactive to the date that the incorrect percentage was reported, but not to exceed 24 months. Back billed amounts are subject to a late payment penalty as set forth in 2.4.2.C following. Should an audit reveal that the misreported percentage(s) of use has resulted in an underpayment of charges to the Company of five (5) percent or more of the total Access Services or Network Interconnection Services bill, the Customer shall reimburse the Company for the cost of the audit. Proof of cost shall be bills, in reasonable detail, submitted to the Company by the auditor. Within fifteen (15) days of completion of the auditor’s report, the Company will furnish a copy of the audit results to the person designated by the Customer to receive such results.

Scope This section applies to VoIP-PSTN traffic exchanged between the Company and the customer in time division multiplexing (TDM) format that originates and/or terminates in Internet protocol (IP) format. VoIP-PSTN traffic originates and/or terminates in IP format if it originates from and/or terminates to an end-user customer of a service that requires Internet protocol-compatible customer premises equipment.(1) (1) Although the Company has taken the position that this tariff, by its own terms, already applies to VoIP-PSTN traffic, as defined herein, the Company has included this section in the tariff out of an abundance of caution to prevent any claim that it does not so apply, and to implement the decision by the Federal Communications Commission in its Report and Order in WC Docket Nos. 10-90, etc., FCC Release No. 11-161 (Nov. 18, 2011) ("FCC Order") that VoIP-PSTN access traffic should be exchanged at interstate access rates (unless the parties have agreed otherwise). By its terms, the FCC Order is prospective only and does not address preexisting law with regard to the applicability of intercarrier compensation or the enhanced service providers ("ESP") exemption to VoIP-PSTN Traffic. Including this section in the tariff in no way alters or otherwise affects the applicability of this tariff to VoIP-PSTN Traffic before the effective date of the FCC Order.

Scope (Cont'd) 1. This section governs the identification of originating and terminating intrastate toll VoIP-PSTN traffic and facilities to which interstate switched access rates apply (unless the parties have agreed otherwise) in accordance with the transitional Intercarrier Compensation framework for VoIP-PSTN traffic adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in its Report and Order, FCC Release No. 11-161 (Nov. 18, 2011) (FCC Order). Specifically, this section establishes the method that will be used to identify the percentage of the customer’s intrastate access traffic, that will be treated as intrastate toll VoIP-PSTN traffic (referred to in this tariff as "Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic"), 2. This section applies to originating and terminating intrastate switched access minutes of use ("MOU") and facility rate elements of all Access customers. 3. The customer shall not modify its reported PIU factor to account for the VoIP-PSTN Traffic for MOU and facility rate elements. B. Rating of VoIP-PSTN Traffic The Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic and facility rate elements identified in accordance with this tariff section will be billed at rates equal to the Company’s applicable tariffed interstate switched access rates as specified at http://serviceguide.att.com/ABS/ext/TariffDetails.cfm, in the AT&T Communications FCC Tariff No. 28, Sections 17.13.3-17.15.1.

Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-Usage Factors The Company will determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic MOU and facility rate elements to which interstate rates will be applied under subsection (B), above, by applying the Percent VoIP Usage ("PVU") factor to the intrastate access MOU exchanged and facilities between the Company and the customer. The PVU factors will be derived and applied as follows: 1. The customer, will calculate and furnish to the Company a factor (the "PVUC") delineated by Carrier Identification Code ("CIC") or Operating Company Numbers ("OCNs"), representing the percentage (whole number) of the total intrastate access MOU that the customer exchanges with the Company end users in the State, that (a) is sent to the Company that originated in IP format at the end user; or (b) is received from Company and terminated in IP format at the end user. This PVUC shall be based on information such as the number of the customer’s retail VoIP subscriptions in the state (e.g., as reported on FCC Form 477), traffic studies, actual call detail, or other relevant and verifiable information satisfactory to the Company. 2. The Company will calculate and periodically update a factor (the "PVUT") representing the percentage (whole number) of the total intrastate access MOU that the Company exchanges with the customer end users in the State, that (a) is sent to the Customer that originated in IP format at the end user; or (b) is received from the Customer and terminated in IP format at the end user. This PVUT shall be based on information such as the number of the customer’s retail VoIP subscriptions in the state (e.g., as reported on FCC Form 477), traffic studies, actual call detail, or other relevant and verifiable information. 3. The Company will develop a Customer Percent VoIP Usage ("PVU") factors combining the Customer’s PVUC factor with the Company’s PVUT factor.

Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-Usage Factors 3. (Cont'd) (a) The PVU calculation below is applied when the Company does not bill based on actual call detail records for the intrastate Company’s IP traffic at interstate rates. PVU = PVUC + [PVUT x (1-PVUC)] applied to the Company’s end user’s total intrastate MOU and facility rate elements Example: The customer reported that their PVUC as 40%. The Company’s PVUT is 10%. This results in the following: PVU = 40% plus (10% times (1-40%)) = 46% This means that 46% of the Intrastate MOU exchanged between the customer and the Company’s end users will be rated at Interstate rates.

Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-Usage Factors 3. (Cont'd) (b) The PVU calculation below is applied when the Company bills are based on the actual call detail records for the intrastate Company’s IP traffic at interstate rates. The formula for usage will be as follows: PVU = PVUC x (1-PVUT) applied to the Company’s TDM end user’s total intrastate MOU. PVU = PVUC + [PVUT x (1-PVUC)] is applied to the facility rate elements Example: The Company has identified that there was 10,500 Intrastate MOU that were identified exchanged between the Customer and the Company’s IP end users. The Customer reported that their PVUC as 40%. The Company’s PVUT is 10%. This results in the following: PVU = 40% times (1-10%) = 36% This means that 36% of the Intrastate MOU exchanged between the Customer and the Company’s TDM end users will be rated at Interstate rates and the intrastate 10,500 MOU will also be rated at Interstate rates. For the facility rate elements the formula that is applied to the intrastate dedicated facilities is as follows: PVU = 40% plus (10% times (1-40%)) = 46% Therefore 46% of the intrastate facilities will be rated at interstate rates.

Initial PVU Factor If the PVU factors are not available and/or cannot be implemented in the Company’s billing systems by January 1, 2012, when the factors are available and can be implemented in the Company billing systems, the Company will adjust the customer’s bills to reflect the PVU factors retroactively to January 2012 usage and facilities. In calculating the initial PVU factors, the Company will employ the customer-specified PVUC retroactively to January 2012 usage and facilities, provided that the customer provides the factor to the Company no later than April 15, 2012. Otherwise, it will set the initial PVU factors as specified in subsection (C) (4) above. E. PVU Factor Updates The customer may update the PVUC factor quarterly using the method set forth in subsection (C) (1) and (4), above. If the customer chooses to submit such updates, it shall forward to the Company, no later than 15 days after the first day of January, April, July and/or October of each year, a revised PVUC factor based on data for the prior three months, ending the last day of December, March, June and September, respectively. The Company will use the revised PVUC to calculate a revised PVU. The revised PVU factor will only apply prospectively and serve as the basis for billing until superseded by a new PVU. F. PVU Factor Verification Not more than twice in any year, the Company may ask the Customer to verify the PVUC factor furnished to the Company. The customer shall comply, and shall reasonably provide the records and other information used to determine their PVUC as specified in section (C) (1) and (4) above.

For billing purposes, each month is considered to have thirty (30) days. B. Usage Rates Usage rates are rates that apply only when a specific rate element is used. These are applied on a per occurrence (e.g., access minute or query) basis. Usage rates are accumulated over a monthly period. C. Nonrecurring Charges Nonrecurring charges are one-time charges that apply for a specific work activity (i.e., installation of new services or rearrangements of installed services). 1. Installation of Service The nonrecurring charges applicable to the installation of Access Services or Network Interconnection Services are applied on a per facility, trunk or other basis as specified in the Price List. In addition, certain nonrecurring charges may consist of “first” and “additional” charges. When charges are listed in this manner, the “first” charge applies to the first facility or trunk specified on the order, with the “additional” charge applied to each additional facility or trunk specified on the same order.

Service Rearrangements Service Rearrangements are changes to existing (installed) services which do not result in a change in the minimum period requirements, a change in the physical location of the Point of Termination (POT) at the Customer Premises or a change of the Customer’s Point of Interconnection (POI). Changes which result in the establishment of new minimum period obligations are treated as disconnects and starts. Changes in the physical location of the POT or POI are treated as moves and are described and charged for as set forth in 3 following. The charge to the Customer for a service rearrangement is dependent on whether the change is “records only” or administrative in nature or involves an actual physical change to the service. “Records only” changes as set forth in Section 5.4.1.A. will be made without charge(s) to the Customer. The charges for administrative changes are as set forth in Section 5.4.2. The charges applicable to all other rearrangements are as set forth in applicable sections of this price list. 3. Moves A move involves a change in the physical location of the POT at the Customer Premises or the Customer’s POI. The charges for the move are dependent on whether the move is to a new location within the same building or to a different building. (a) Moves Within the Same Building When the move is to a new location within the same building, the Service Order Charge and one-half of all other applicable nonrecurring charges will apply. There will be no change in the minimum period requirements.

GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.4 PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND CREDIT ALLOWANCES (Cont’d) 2.4.2 Payment of Rates, Charges and Deposits A. Deposits The Company will only require a Customer which has a proven history of late payments to the Company or does not have established credit, to make a deposit prior to or at any time after the provision of a service to the Customer. No such deposit will be required of a Customer which is a successor of a Company which has established credit and has no history of late payments to the Company. Such deposit will not exceed the actual or estimated rates and charges for the service for a two (2) month period. The fact that a deposit has been made in no way relieves the Customer from complying with the Company's regulations as to the prompt payment of bills. At such time as the provision of the service to the Customer is terminated, the amount of the deposit will be credited to the Customer's account and any credit balance which may remain will be refunded. Such a deposit will be refunded or credited to the account when the Customer has established credit or, in any event after the Customer has established a one-year prompt payment record at any time prior to the termination of the provision of the service to the Customer. Interest rate shall be the rate established, and from time to time revised, by the appropriate governmental authority. In the event no such rate is set, then simple interest at the rate of up to 6% per annum shall be credited or paid to the customer while the deposit is held by AT&T. Interest will accrue from the date the Customer deposit is received by the Company to and including the date such deposit is credited to the Customer's account or the date the deposit is refunded by the Company. Should a deposit be credited to the Customer's account, as indicated above, no interest will accrue on the deposit from the date such deposit is credited to the Customer's account.

(Cont’d) The amount of the total provisioning completed by the Company at a particular critical date varies by the service involved as shown following: SERVICE APP SID DLRD RID WOT PTD DD DLAS (Direct Connect Transport) 0% 7% 18% 32% 100% 100% 100% Network Interconnection Service 0% 7% 18% 32% 100% 100% 100% If a Service Order is canceled by the Customer prior to the SID, no charge applies. For cancellations by the Customer on or after that date, a cancellation charge will apply. The amount of the cancellation charge will vary according to the service ordered and the date reached in the critical date schedule. Cancellation charges are based on the amount of provisioning completed at the time of the request to cancel and are determined by multiplying the nonrecurring charges applicable to the canceled service(s) by the appropriate percentage from the table listed above (e.g., an order for DLAS Direct Connect Transport canceled after the RID date but prior to the WOT date would be subject to a cancellation charge equal to 32% of the applicable nonrecurring charges for the service(s) canceled).

AT&T DIGITAL LINK ACCESS SERVICE 15.3 DLAS RATE REGULATIONS (Cont’d) 15.3.4 Measuring Access Minutes DLAS Calls will be measured to determine the basis for computing chargeable Access Minutes. In the event the Customer call detail is not available because of lost or damaged tapes or recording system outages, the Company will estimate the volume of lost Customer Access Minutes based on previously known values. The measured minutes for DLAS Calls are the chargeable Access Minutes. DLAS minutes or fractions thereof, the exact value of the fraction being a function of the switch technology where the measurement is made, are accumulated over the billing period for each DLS End Office, and are then rounded up to the nearest Access Minute for each such End Office. A. DLAS Usage Measurement The measurement of Access Minutes for DLAS begins when the recording switch receives answer supervision from the DLS End User, indicating the DLS End User has answered. The measurement of Access Minutes ends when the recording switch receives disconnect supervision from either the DLS End User, indicating the DLS End User has disconnected, or the Customer’s Point of Termination, whichever is recognized first by the recording switch.
