TARIFF FORMAT
A. Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Pages are
numbered sequentially. However, new pages are occasionally added to the tariff. When
a new page is added between pages already in effect, a decimal is added.
B. Page Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of
each page. These numbers are used to determine the most current page version on file
with the Commission. For example, the 4th revised Page 14 cancels the Original Page
14. Because of the various suspension periods and deferrals the Commission follows in
its tariff approval process, the most current page number on file with the Commission is
not always the tariff page in effect. Consult the check sheet for the page currently in
effect.
C. Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each
level of coding is subservient to its next higher level:
2
2.1
2.1.1
2.1.1.A
2.1.1.A.1
2.1.1.A.1.(a)
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I.(i)
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I.(i).(1)
D. Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Commission an updated check sheet
accompanies the filing. The check sheet lists the pages contained in the tariff, with a
cross reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added, the check
sheet is changed to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filing are
designated by an asterisk (*). There shall be no other symbols used on this page if these
are the only changes made to it. The tariff user should refer to the latest check sheet to
find out if a particular page is the most current on file with the Commission.

2.10 Refunds or Credits for Interruptions (Cont'd)
2.10.2 It shall be the obligation of Customer to notify Company immediately of any
interruption of Service (as defined in the applicable Service Agreement) for
which a credit is desired. If Customer reports an interruption in Service to
Company and the affected Service is not restored (as defined in the applicable
Service Agreement) within two hours of such report, Customer shall, upon
request directed to the Customer's designated customer service representative,
receive a credit at the rate of 1/720 of the monthly recurring charges applicable to
Service directly affected by such interruption for each hour or fraction thereof,
over the initial two hours, during which service is interrupted. No credit will be
given for interruptions of less than two hours in duration. The formula used for
computation of credits is as follows:
Credit = A/ 720 x B
A = Interruption time in hours or fraction thereof (must be over 2 hours)
B = total monthly recurring charge for the affected service.
2.10.3 Notice of Interruption should be reported by the Customer to the Company’s
Network Control Center or other location designated by Company. An
interruption ends when the Service is restored. If the Customer reports the
Service to be inoperative but declines to release it for testing and repair, the
Service shall be deemed to be impaired, but not subject to an interruption nor
corresponding credit as provided in Section 2.10.2.
2.10.4 If the Customer elects to use another means of transmission during the period of
interruption, the Customer is solely responsible for payment of the charges for the
alternate transmission service used.
2.10.5 The credit provided in Section 2.10.2 is Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for
any interruption in the Service.

3.2.4 “Directory Assistance Service” offers Reseller Customers the ability to provide
their End Users with phone numbers, addresses and NPA/Country codes and
automatic call completion. A per-call surcharge is assessed against the Customer
for each call made by the Customer’s presubscribed End-Users. This surcharge
applies whether or not the Directory Assistance operator furnishes the requested
telephone number(s), e.g., the requested number is unlisted, non-published or no
record can be found. Requests for information other than telephone numbers will
be charged for as requests for telephone numbers.
Directory Assistance Service gives the option of completing a call to the called
station telephone number received from the Directory Assistance operator without
hanging up and originating a new call. A usage rate for call completion applies in
addition to the Directory Assistance per-call surcharge if the caller accepts the
offer. The call completion charge will not apply if the call cannot be completed.
The per-call surcharge and usage rates that CommPartners charges its Reseller
Customers for Directory Assistance Service are set forth in the Service
