A. Upon the written request of the Customer, delivered to the Company no later than
thirty (30) days following the date of service interruption, a credit allowance will be
given when service is interrupted, except as specified in Section 2.20.2 below. A
service is interrupted when it becomes inoperative to the Customer, e.g., the
Customer is unable to transmit or receive, because of a failure of a component
furnished by the Company under this Price List.
B. An interruption period begins when the Customer reports to the Company a service,
facility or circuit is inoperative and, if necessary, releases it for testing and repair by
the Company, as determined in its sole and reasonable discretion. An interruption
period ends when the service, facility or circuit is operative.
C. If the Customer reports a service, facility or circuit to be interrupted but declines to
release it for testing and repair, refuses access to its premises for test and repair by
the Company, or continues to make voluntary use of the service, the service, facility
or circuit is considered to be impaired but not interrupted. No credit allowances will
be made for a service, facility or circuit considered by the Company to be impaired.
D. The Customer shall be responsible for the payment of service charges for visits by
the Company's agents or employees to the premises of the Customer when the
service difficulty or trouble report results from the use of equipment or facilities
provided by any party other than the Company, including but not limited to the
Customer.

its facilities and equipment for the purposes of investigating and correcting
interruptions;
(e) during any period when the Customer has released service to the Company
for maintenance purposes or for implementation of a Customer order for a
change in service arrangements;
(f) that occurs or continues due to the Customer's failure to authorize
replacement of any element of special construction; and
(g) that was not reported to the Company within 30 days of the date that service
was affected.

2.20.4 Application of Credits for Interruptions in Service
A. Except as provided in Section 2.20.2 A., if a Customer’s service is interrupted, and it
remains interrupted for eight normal working hours or longer after access to the
premises is made available and after being reported to be out of order, appropriate
adjustments or refunds shall be made to the Customer, when such adjustment
exceeds $1.00.
B. The amount of adjustment or refund shall be determined on the basis of the known
period of interruption, generally beginning from the time the service interruption is
first reported. The refund to the Customer shall be a pro rata part of the month’s flat
rate charges (if any) for the period of days and that portion of the service facilities
rendered useless or inoperative. The refund may be accomplished by a credit on a
subsequent bill for the service.
C. For purposes of credit computation every month shall be considered to have seven
hundred and twenty (720) hours. For services with a monthly recurring charge, no
credit shall be allowed for an interruption of continuous duration of less than eight
(8) hours. The Customer shall be credited for an interruption of eight (8) or more
hours at the rate of 1/720th of the monthly charge for the services affected for each
day that the interruption continues. The formula used for computation of credits is
as follows:
Credit = A/720 x B
A = outage time in hours (must be 8 or more)
B = total monthly recurring charge for affected service.
D. No credits will be provided for usage sensitive services.

2.22 Mixed Interstate and Intrastate Switched Access Services

including Nonrecurring Charges, usage charges, and optional features, will be prorated
between interstate and intrastate. The percentage provided in the reports as set forth in 2.9.2
preceding will serve as the basis for prorating the charges. The percentage of an access
service to be charged as interstate is applied in the following manner:
(a) For nonrecurring chargeable rate elements, multiply the PIU times the quantity of
chargeable elements times the interstate tariff rate per element.
(b) For usage sensitive chargeable rate elements, multiply the PIU times actual use
(measured or Company assumed average use) times the interstate rate.

2.23 Determination of Jurisdiction of Mixed Interstate and Intrastate Dedicated Facilities
2.23.1 When mixed interstate and intrastate service is provided over a dedicated facility, the
jurisdiction will be determined as follows. For jurisdictional reports required for switched
access, see Section 2.9.2.
(a) If the Customer's estimate of the interstate traffic on the service equals 10% or more
of the total traffic on that service, the service will be provided according to the
applicable rules and regulations of the appropriate interstate tariff.
(b) If the Customer's estimate of the interstate traffic on the service is less than 10% of
the total traffic on that service, the service will be provided according to the
applicable rules and regulations of this Price List.
(c) If the percentage of interstate traffic on the service changes to the extent that it alters
the jurisdiction of the service, the Customer must notify the Company of any
required change in status. The affected service will revert to the appropriate
jurisdictional tariff or price list within the next full billing cycle. Any applicable
termination liability will be transferred with the jurisdictional change of the service.
2.24 Determination of InterMTA and IntraMTA Traffic
CMRS providers will have the responsibility of providing, on a quarterly basis (or as otherwise
agreed to by the Company), a report to the Company providing the percentage of the CMRS
provider's traffic terminated to the Company that is intraMTA or interMTA. The report will also
detail what percentage of the interMTA traffic is intrastate and what percentage is interstate (PIU).
Reports regarding the percentages of intraMTA or interMTA traffic (and the intrastate or interstate
jurisdiction of interMTA traffic) shall be based on a reasonable traffic study conducted by the CMRS
provider and available to the Company upon request. Upon reasonable written notice, the Company
or its authorized representative shall have the right to conduct a review and verification of the CMRS
provider’s reported percentages. This includes on-site verification reviews at the CMRS provider's or
vendor locations. The review may consist of an examination and verification of data involving
records, systems, procedures and other information related to the traffic originated by the CMRS
provider and terminated to the Company. The customer shall keep records of call detail, including not
altering directly or indirectly with a third party call origination or termination data from which the call
jurisdiction can be ascertained. The CMRS provider will provide the Company with reasonable access
to such information as is necessary to determine amounts payable under this Price List.
If the CMRS provider fails to provide the verifiable reports required under this section, the Company
will apply a default percent interMTA of 50% (and a default PIU of 50% on all interMTA traffic), on
all traffic originated by the CMRS provider for termination by the Company.

3.8.3 Measurement and Billing of Access Minutes
A. When recording originating calls over Switched Access Service with multi-
frequency address signaling, usage measurement begins when the first wink
supervisory signal is forwarded from the Customer's facilities. The measurement of
originating call usage over Switched Access Service ends when the originating
Switched Access Service entry switch receives disconnect supervision from either
the originating End User's End Office (indicating that the originating End User has
disconnected), or from the Customer's facilities, whichever is recognized first by the
entry switch. For terminating calls over Switched Access Service with multi-
frequency address signaling, the measurement of access minutes begins when a
seizure signal is received from the Carrier's trunk group at the Point of Presence
within the LATA. The measurement of terminating call usage over Switched
Access Service ends when a disconnect signal is received, indicating that either the
originating or terminating user has disconnected.
B. When recording originating calls over Switched Access Service with SS7 signaling,
usage measurement begins with the transmission of the initial address message by
the switch for direct trunk groups and with the receipt of an exit message by the
switch for tandem trunk groups. The measurement of originating Switched Access
Service usage ends when the entry switch receives or sends a release message,
whichever occurs first. For terminating calls over Switched Access Service with SS7
signaling, the measurement of access minutes begins when the terminating recording
switch receives the initial address message from the terminating End User. On
directly routed trunk groups or on tandem routed trunk groups, the Company switch
receives the initial address message and sends the indication to the Customer in the
form of an answer message. The measurement of terminating Switched Access
Service call usage ends when the entry switch receives or sends a release message,
whichever occurs first.
C. Mileage, where applicable, will be measured in accordance with standard industry
practices.
D. The Company will use the Small Exchange Carrier Access Billing ("SECAB")
guidelines, or the Carrier Access Billing System ("CABS") guidelines, or other
system that emulates or otherwise produces a reasonable substitute for the output of
SECAB or CABS, for billing all charges under this Price List. The Company will
provide billing using an electronic format by way of email or upon request, a
mechanized medium (e.g., CD ROM, etc.). Bills will be accurate and contain
sufficient supporting details to allow customers to account for the charges and to
verify their accuracy in a reasonable and timely fashion. Requests for additional bill
detail or formats will be handled and priced on an Individual Case Basis (ICB).
E. Access minutes are accumulated during the billing period. Fractional minutes are
rounded up to the next whole minute.

3.8.4 Application of Access Charges to Toll VoIP-PSTN Access Traffic
A. All Toll VoIP-PSTN Access traffic will be assessed switched access charges at the
rates set forth in this Price List.
B. The Company shall assess and collect switched access rate elements under this Price
List for access services, regardless of whether the Company itself delivers such
traffic to the called party’s premises or delivers the call to the called party’s
premises via contractual or other arrangements with an affiliated or unaffiliated
provider of VoIP service that does not itself seek to collect switched access charges
for the same traffic. The Company will not charge for functions not performed by
the Company, its affiliated or unaffiliated provider of VoIP service. For purposes of
this provision, functions provided by the Company as part of transmitting
telecommunications between designated points using, in whole or in part,
technology other than TDM transmission in a manner that is comparable to a service
offered by a local exchange carrier constitutes the functional equivalent of carrier
access service.
3.8.5 Identification and Rating of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic
A. Scope
VoIP-PSTN Traffic is the traffic exchanged in time division multiplexing ("TDM")
format that originates and/or terminates in Internet protocol ("IP") format. This
section governs the identification of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic that is required to be
compensated at interstate access rates (unless the parties have agreed otherwise) by
the Federal Communications Commission in its Report and Order in WC Docket
Nos. 10-90 et. al., FCC No. 11-161 (November 18, 2011) ("FCC Order").
Specifically, this section establishes the method of separating such traffic (referred
to in this Price List as "Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic") from the Customer's
traditional intrastate access traffic, so that such Relevant Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic
can be billed in accordance with the FCC Order.

The Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic identified in accordance with this Price List
section will be billed in accordance with the Company's applicable interstate
switched access Tariff FCC No. 1.
C. Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-PSTN-Usage Factor
The Company will determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic minutes
of use ("MOU") to which interstate rates will be applied under subsection (B),
above, by applying a Percent VoIP Usage ("PVU") factor to the total intrastate
access MOU (however determined – either based on call detail information or PIU)
exchanged between the Company and the Customer. The PVU will be derived and
applied as follows:
1. The Customer will calculate and furnish to the Company a factor (the
"PVU-A") representing the whole number percentage of the total access
MOU that the Customer exchanges with the Company in the State, that (a)
is sent to the Company and that originates in IP format; or (b) is received
from the Company and terminates in IP format. This PVU-A 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.
2. Company will, likewise, calculate a factor (the "PVU-B") representing the
percentage of the Company's total access MOU in the State that the
Company originates or terminates in IP format. This PVU-B shall be based
on information such as the number of the Company'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 use the PVU-A and PVU-B factors to calculate an
effective PVU factor that represents the percentage of total access MOU
exchanged between the Company and the Customer that is originated and/or
terminated in IP format, whether at the Company's end, at the Customer's
end, or at both ends. The effective PVU factor will be calculated as the sum
of: (A) the PVU-A factor and (B) the PVU-B factor times (1.0 minus the
PVU-A factor).
4. The Company will apply the effective PVU factor to the total intrastate
access MOU exchanged with the Customer to determine the number of
Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic MOUs.
Example 1: The PVU-B is 10% and the PVU-A is 40%. The effective
PVU factor is equal to 40% + (10% x 60%) = 46%. The Company will bill
46% of the Customer's intrastate access MOU in accordance with the
Company’s applicable interstate switched access tariff.
Example 2: The PVU-B is 10% and the PVU-A is 0%. The effective PVU
factor is 0% + (100% x 10%) = 10%. The Company will bill 10% of the
Customer's intrastate access MOU in accordance with the Company's
applicable interstate switched access tariff.
Example 3: The PVU-A is 100%. No matter what the PVU-B factor is,
the effective PVU is 100%. The Company will bill 100% of the Customer's
intrastate access MOU in accordance with the Company's applicable
interstate switched access tariff.
5. If the Customer does not furnish the Company with a PVU-A pursuant to
the preceding paragraph 1, the Company will utilize an effective PVU equal
to the PVU-B.
6. The Customer shall not modify their reported PIU factor to account for
VoIP-PSTN Traffic.
