persons from using their service, or otherwise impairs the quality of service to other carriers or to End
Users.
5.7 Carrier will be the single point of contact with Frontier for all subsequent ordering activity resulting
in additions or changes to services except that Frontier will accept a request directly from the End User
for conversion of the End User's service from Carrier to Frontier or will accept a request from another
Carrier for conversion of the End User's service from the Carrier to the other Carrier.
SECTION 6. COORDINATION OF TRANSFER OF SERVICE (EXCLUDING RESALE
6.1 Coordination of Transfer of Service. To serve the public interest of End Users, the Parties agree
that, when an End User transfers service from one Party to the other Party, it is necessary for the Parties
to coordinate the timing for disconnection from one Party and connection with the other Party so that
transferring End Users are not without service for any extended period of time. Other coordinated
activities associated with transfer of service will be coordinated between the Parties to ensure quality
services to the public.
6.2 Procedures for Coordinated Transfer of Service Activities. The Parties agree to establish
mutually acceptable, reasonable, and efficient transfer of service procedures that utilize the industry
standard LSR format for the exchange of necessary information for coordination of service transfers
between the Parties. Frontier may describe some of these procedures in its Guide. Reference to
Frontier Guide is for convenience of the Parties and is not intended to be a part of or to affect the
meaning of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, provisions with respect to implementation of the
cooperative coordination of transfer of service activities described herein. If any provision contained in
this Agreement and the Guide cannot be reasonably construed or interpreted to avoid conflict, the
provision contained in this Agreement shall apply.

Parties or compensation provided by one Party to the other Party for the coordinated transfer of service
activities between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday excluding holidays. Frontier may
charge Carrier for the coordinated transfer of service activities scheduled outside of the specified hours in
accordance with Frontier's tariff.
6.4 Letter of Authorization. Each Party is responsible for obtaining a Letter of Authorization (LOA)
from each End User initiating transfer of service from one Party to the other Party if necessary. The Party
obtaining the LOA from the End User will furnish it to the other Party upon request. The Party obtaining
the LOA is required to maintain the original document, for a minimum of twenty-four (24) months from the
date of signature. If there is a conflict between an End User and Carrier regarding the disconnection or
provision of services, Frontier will honor the latest dated Letter of Authorization. If the End User's service
has not been disconnected and services have not yet been established, Carrier will be responsible to pay
the applicable service order charge for any order it has placed. If the End User's service has been
disconnected and the End User's service is to be restored with Frontier, Carrier will be responsible to pay
the applicable nonrecurring charges as set forth in Frontier applicable tariff to restore the End User's prior
service with Frontier.
6.5 Transfer of Service Announcement. Where an End User changes service from one Party to the
other Party and the End User does not retain his or her original telephone number, the Party formerly
providing service to the End User will provide a transfer of service announcement, where transfer of
service announcement capability is available, on the vacated telephone number. This announcement will
provide details regarding the new number that must be dialed to reach this End User. The service
announcement will be provided, where available, by the Party formerly providing service to the extent and
at the price specified in the applicable Frontier tariff.
6.6 Disconnect and Transfer of Service Announcement Coordination for Service Transfers with
Change of Number. When an End User changes service from one Party to the other Party and the End
User does not retain his or her original telephone number, the Party from which the End User is
transferring will honor requests for disconnection and service announcement initiation, where available,
from the Party to which the End User is transferring. The Party to which the End User is transferring
service will provide to the other Party the End User's name, address, current telephone number, new
telephone number, and date service should be transferred using the industry standard LSR format. The
Party from which the End User is transferring will coordinate with the other Party the disconnection and
service announcement initiation to coincide with the service transfer request date. The service
announcement where available will be provided on the vacant number upon disconnect coinciding with
the service transfer date. The Parties agree that the installation date will precede the disconnection date.
6.7 Disconnect and Coordination of Number Portability for Service Transfers without Change of
Number. When an End User changes service from one Party to the other Party and the End User retains
his or her original telephone number(s), the Party from which the End User is transferring will honor
requests for disconnection and local number portability, where available, from the Party to which the End
User is transferring. The Party to which the End User is transferring will provide the other Party the End
User's name, address, current telephone number, and the Location Routing Number (LRN) for LNP, and
the date service should be transferred using the industry standard LSR format. With LNP, the Parties will
coordinate the disconnection, the connection, and number portability activities in accordance with the
North American Numbering Council (NANC) flows.
6.8 Combined Transfer of Service Requests. Each Party will accept transfer of service requests from
the other Party for one End User that includes multiple requests for transfers where the End User will
retain one or more telephone numbers.

6.9 Bulk Requests for Transfer of Service. From time to time, either Party may benefit from the
transfer of service for groups. The Parties agree to process bulk transfer of service requests for End
Users having the same billing account number.
6.10 Access to the Network Interface Device (NID). Each Party will allow the other Party access to the
End User side of the NID consistent with FCC rules. The Party to which the End User is transferring
service may move all inside wire from the other Party's existing NID to one provided by the Party to which
the End User is transferring service. Where a NID is of the type which provides for End User access to
one side of the NID, the Party to which the End User is transferring service may elect to remove the
inside wire at the connection(s) within the End User side of the NID. Where a NID is of an older type not
allowing access to the End User side of the NID, the Party to which the End User is transferring service
must make a clean cut of the inside wire at the closest point to the NID.

practical but will be assessed an expedited order charge. The expedited order charges are listed in
Attachment 4, Pricing.
6.12 Service Date Modifications! Carrier Not Ready. Carrier may request a change in due date at
least 24 hours prior to the originally scheduled due date. Supplemental charges will apply when a
request for a new due date is received after the LSR has been confirmed via firm order commitment
(FOC). Supplemental order charges are listed in Attachment 4, Pricing. Alternate workforce is required
when an increase in the complexity of the service order results in a higher per hour rate. If the new
service date is changed to an earlier date, than expedited order charges will apply. If the request for
modification to the service date occurs within twenty-four (24) hours of the scheduled due date, Carrier
will be subject to charges for work and labor-related expenses already completed. If the due date change
is requested due to a class of service change, additional and/or alternate workforce may be required and
associated charges will apply. These charges will apply on a per occurrence basis.
SECTION 7. AUDIT
7.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, and the reasonable security requirements of
each Party and except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Party (the
"Auditing Party") may audit the other Party's (the "Audited Party") books, records and other documents
that relate solely to the Parties' billing to the other Party under this Agreement and to the identification of
traffic subject to this Agreement, once each year at the conclusion of each calendar year, in order
evaluate the accuracy of such other Party's billing and invoicing. The Parties may employ other persons
or firms for this purpose. Such audits shall take place at a time and place agreed to by the Parties no
later than thirty (30) days after notice thereof to such other Party.
7.2 Each Audited Party shall use reasonable efforts to promptly correct any billing error that is
revealed in an audit, including reimbursing any overpayment in the form of a credit to the Auditing Party
on the invoice for the first full billing cycle after the Parties have agreed upon the accuracy of the audit
results. Any disputes concerning audit results shall be resolved pursuant to the Dispute Resolution
Section of the General Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.
7.3 Each Audited Party shall cooperate fully in any such audit, providing reasonable access to any
such auditors, providing reasonable access to any and all appropriate employees and relevant books,
records and other documents reasonably necessary to assess the accuracy of its bills.

records and documents during any calendar year if the previous audit uncovered incorrect net variances
or errors in invoices in favor of the Audited Party having an aggregate value of no less than five percent
(5%) of the total amount payable by the Auditing Party during the period covered by the audit.

herewith, the aggrieved Party shall first discuss the default or dispute with the other Party and seek
resolution prior to taking any action before any court or regulator or before authorizing any public
statement about or disclosure of the nature of the dispute to any third party. In the event that the Parties
are unable to resolve a default or other dispute, the Parties shall then submit the matter to the
Commission or another mutually agreed upon mediator for non-binding mediation. If mediation is
unsuccessful, recourse may be had by either Party to the Commission, if it has jurisdiction over the
breach or dispute or to an appropriate court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the dispute. Each
Party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its case through all phases of the dispute resolution
procedure herein described.

the disputed amount withheld pending settlement of the dispute shall not be subject to the late
payment penalty.
24.3.3 In the event that a billing dispute is resolved in favor of the Billing Party, any payments
withheld pending settlement of the dispute will be subject to the late payment penalty as set forth
herein.
24.3.4 Undisputed amounts shall be paid when due as set forth in Section 24.2 above. If any
payment or portion thereof is either received by the Billing Party in funds that are not immediately
available to the Billing Party or not received by the bill due date, a late payment penalty shall be
due to the Billing Party. The late payment penalty shall be 1.5% per month or 18% annually, or
the maximum allowed by law, whichever is less.
24.4 Both Parties shall use the Dispute Resolutions procedures as described herein in the event of a
billing dispute.

25.1 In the event of breach of any material provision of this Agreement by either Party, the non
breaching Party shall give the other Party written notice thereof, and:
25.1.1 If such material breach is for non-payment of amounts due hereunder, the breaching
Party shall cure such breach within ten (10) days of receiving such notice. The non-breaching
Party shall be entitled to pursue all available legal and equitable remedies for such breach.
Amounts disputed in good faith and withheld or set off shall not be deemed "amounts due
hereunder" for the purpose of this provision. Neither Party shall withhold or set off undisputed
amounts.

Revised 03/11/2011
Agreement Number: 1 2-LeveI3CTCID-000
In addition, if such material breach is for non-payment of amounts due hereunder and
such amounts have not been disputed, the non-breaching Party may:
(1)refuse additional applications for any service provided under this
Agreement;
(2)refuse to complete any pending orders for additional services any
time thereafter, and/or;
(3)on thirty (30) days! written notice by overnight delivery or certified
U.S. mail, with a copy to the Commission, to the person designated to
receive such notice, discontinue the provision of existing services at any
time thereafter.
25.1.2 If the non-breaching Party does not refuse additional applications for additional services,
and the non-payment continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude the non-breaching Party
from refusing additional applications for services without further notice. If the non-breaching
Party discontinues provision of the additional services, all applicable charges, including
termination charges, shall become due. If the non-breaching Party does not discontinue the
provision of services on the date specified in the thirty (30) days notice, and the nonpayment
continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude the non-breaching Party from discontinuing
the provision of services without further notice.
25.1.3 Frontier reserves the right to refuse an application for additional services made by any
entity that owns or is substantially owned, directly or indirectly, by or is under common control
with, Carrier, so long as Carrier or any such entity is indebted to Frontier for services previously
furnished, until the indebtedness is satisfied. In the event that services are provided to Carrier or
an entity that owns or is substantially owned, directly or indirectly, by or is under common control
with, Carrier, such services may be terminated by Frontier unless Carrier satisfies the
indebtedness owing to Frontier within thirty (30) days after written notification. Such notification
shall be made by certified U. S. mail to the person designated by Carrier to receive such notices.
25.1.4 If such material breach is for any failure to perform in accordance with this Agreement,
other than for non-payment of amounts due hereunder, or if either Party is otherwise in violation
of the law, the non-breaching Party shall give notice of the breach and the breaching Party shall
cure such breach within sixty (60) days of such notice, and if breaching Party does not, the non-
breaching Party may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement. Nothwithstanding the
foregoing, if the nature of the incident causing the breach is not susceptible to a cure within 60
days, and the Party causing the breach is making good faith efforts to remedy same, the Parties
will work together to determine a reasonable amount of time for such cure to be effected. The
non-breaching Party shall be entitled to pursue all available legal and equitable remedies for such
breach.

Parties acknowledge that one is not responsible or liable for any business decisions made by the other in
reliance upon any disclosures made during any meeting between the Parties or in reliance on any results
of the discussions. The furnishing of Proprietary Information to one Party by the other Party will not
obligate either Party to enter into any further agreement or negotiation with the other.

express or implied, under any patent, copyright, or trademark, now or hereafter owned, obtained,
controlled, or which is or may be licensable by the other Party.

ATTACHMENT 1 - INTERCONNECTION
ATTACHMENT I -
The Parties hereto, agree to interconnect their facilities and networks for the transport of Local Traffic as
follows:
SECTION 1. Interconnection Trunking Arrangements
1.1 The Parties will interconnect their networks directly or indirectly as specified in the terms and
conditions contained herein. POls set forth in this Attachment, may be modified from time to time by
either Party only with the written consent of the other Party. Carrier will agree to establish each P01 at a
technically feasible point on Citizens' network.
1.2 Direct Interconnection is required at one or more of the following locations:
a)P01 at the Citizens local tandem office maintained and operated by Citizens, which local
tandem provides switched Interconnection to Citizens End Users serviced by subtending host
and remote offices.
b)P01 at the Citizens Host Office, which will provide switched Interconnection to Citizens' End
Users' served by that host office and subtending remote offices when the traffic exchanged
between the parties meets the requirements established under 1.3.2 below.
1.3 The Parties agree to exchange traffic indirectly as follows:
1.3.1 The Parties agree that indirect interconnection may be beneficial when the volume of
traffic is consistently below a DSI level and does not meet the requirements needed for direct
trunking as specified in section 1.3.2 below.
1.3.1.1 Where the Parties have direct interconnections in place and no longer wish to
maintain such direct interconnection, the Party may request to change to indirect interconnection
by notification to the other Party. Such notification must include a 3 month traffic study
demonstrating the trunk group(s) no longer carries a DS1 's worth of traffic. The non-requesting
Party will then have 30 days to validate the traffic study provided with the notification prior to the
requesting Party submitting an ASR for disconnection. Once the traffic volume has been
validated to be below a DSI level and both Parties agree, the Parties will work cooperatively to
disconnect the existing trunks and re-route any remaining traffic, considering the potential
customer impacts and/or network impacts prior to any action being taken. The change from direct
interconnection to indirect interconnection will not be completed where the volume of traffic meets
the requirements under section 1.3.2 below.
1.3.2 The Parties agree that a direct interconnection is mutually beneficial and desirable when
the volume of Telecommunications Traffic exchanged between the Parties equals or exceeds a
DSI level over three (3) consecutive months. If such level of indirect traffic is reached between
Carrier's network and a given Citizens end office, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the
mutual need for a direct interconnection between Carrier's network and the affected Citizens end
office.
1.4 In order for Carrier to establish a P01, a request will need to be submitted using the P01
Request Form located at www.frontier.com .

Version: 7/22/99
Revised: 02/02/2009
Agreement Number: I 2-LeveI3CTCID-000
1.5 Each Party will be responsible for the engineering and construction of its own network facilities on
its side of the P01.
1.6 Carrier will be responsible for establishing separate trunk groups when direct interconnection is
required pursuant to section 1.2 above for:
1.6.1 Local Traffic, including ISP Bound Traffic and locally-dialed Enhanced Services traffic.
1.6.2 Access Services to enable Interexchange Carriers to originate and terminate traffic
from/to Carrier or for Carrier and Citizens to exchange traffic other than Local Traffic.
1.6.3 Transit Service traffic, when connected to a Citizens tandem.
1.6.4 The Parties' services as interexchange service providers are subject to each Party's
respective access tariffs provided that Carriers access tariffs are not higher than Citizens' access
tariff to the extent required by FCC rules and applicable state rules.
1.6.5 Connecting Carrier's switch to the applicable E911 routers. If Carrier purchases such
services from Citizens, they will be provided at full applicable tariff rates. For all 91 1/E911 traffic
originating from Carrier, it is the responsibility of Carrier and the appropriate state or local public
safety answering agency to negotiate the manner in which 91 1/E911 traffic from Carrier will be
processed.
1.7 The Parties mutually agree that all Interconnection facilities will be sized according to mutual
forecasts and sound engineering practice, as mutually agreed to by the Parties. The Parties further
agree that all equipment and technical Interconnections will be in conformance with all generally accepted
industry standards with regard to facilities, equipment, and services.
1.8 Interconnection will be provided via two-way trunks and Carrier will provide trunk group service
requests in its discretion. The only compensation or other responsibility for payment for terminating traffic
from the P01 onward shall be Reciprocal Compensation, if applicable and/or Transit Service charges
where a Citizens tandem is used to reach a third party's network and/or Switched Access charges where
Carrier is acting as an lnterexchange Carrier. The mutually agreed upon technical and operational
interfaces, procedures, grade of service and performance standards for Interconnection between the
Parties will conform with all generally accepted industry standards with regard to facilities, equipment,
and services. All Interconnection facilities and trunking will be ordered using industry standard ASR as
referenced in Citizens' Local Service Provider Guide.
1.9 Carrier will not expect Citizens' local end office switches to act as a tandem on the Carrier's
behalf nor will Citizens expect the Carrier's local end office switches to act as a tandem on Citizens'
behalf.
1.10 This Agreement is applicable only to Citizens' serving areas. Citizens will not be responsible for
Interconnections or contracts relating to any Carrier's Interconnection with any other service provider or
telecommunications carrier outside of Citizens serving area.
1.11 If Carrier provides service using an NPA-NXX assigned to a rate center where Citizens provides
extended area service or a applicable regulatory authority approved optional calling plan, and Carrier
chooses to indirectly interconnect by using the tandem switching facilities of a third party, Citizens will
have no obligation to route and rate traffic to Carrier's NPA-NXX as an EAS call or pursuant to an
optional calling plan in the event that the third party providing such switching facilities blocks such traffic
or unless Carrier has established a trunking and transiting arrangement for this traffic with Citizens and
the other telecommunications carrier(s) utilizing the trunk and providing transiting service for the traffic. In

the event that the third party providing the switching facilities as referenced above commences blocking
the traffic, the parties agree to cooperate to negotiate with such third party to cease blocking such traffic
and/or advocate that the third party cease such blocking before any appropriate legal or regulatory body.
1.12 Signaling Systems and Administration
1.12.1 The Parties will, where Citizens has the capability, interconnect their networks using SS7
signaling associated with all Interconnection trunk groups as defined in Telcordia GR-246
"Bell Communications Research Specification of Signaling Systems 7 (SS7) and GR-905,
"Common Channel Signaling Network Interface Specification (CCSNIS) Supporting
Interconnection, Message Transfer Part (MTP), and Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) User Part (ISUP) "including ISDN User Part ("ISUP") for trunk signaling and
Transaction Capabilities Application Part ("TCAP) for CCS-based features in the
Interconnection of their networks. For glare resolution, Citizens will have priority on odd
trunk group member circuit identification codes, and carrier will have priority on even
trunk group member circuit identification codes, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
SECTION 2. Testing and Trouble Responsibilities
The Parties agree to:
2.1 Cooperatively plan and implement coordinated repair procedures for the local Interconnection
trunks and facilities to ensure trouble reports are resolved in a timely and appropriate manner.
2.2 Provide trained personnel with adequate and compatible test equipment to work with each other's
technicians.
2.3 Promptly notify each other when there is any change affecting the service requested, including
the date service is to be started.
2.4 Coordinate and schedule testing activities of their own personnel, and others as applicable, to
ensure its Interconnection trunks/trunk groups are installed per the Interconnection order, meet agreed
upon acceptance test requirements, and are placed in service by the due date.
2.5 Perform sectionalization to determine if a trouble condition is located in its facility or its portion of
the Interconnection trunks prior to referring any trouble to each other.
2.6 Provide each other with a trouble reporting number to a work center that is staffed 24 hours a
day/7 days a week.
2.7 Based on the trunking architecture, provide for mutual tests for system assurance for the proper
recording of AMA records in each company's switch. These tests are repeatable on demand by either
Party upon reasonable notice.
2.8 A maintenance service charge applies when one Party requests the dispatch of the other Party's
personnel for the purpose of performing maintenance activity on the Interconnection trunks, and any of
the following conditions exist:
2.8.1 No trouble is found in the Interconnection trunks; or
2.8.2 The trouble condition results from equipment, facilities or systems not provided by the
Party whose personnel were dispatched; or

2.8.3 Trouble clearance did not otherwise require a dispatch, and upon dispatch requested for
repair verification, the Interconnection trunk does not exceed maintenance limits.
2.8.4 If a maintenance service charge has been applied and trouble is subsequently found in
the facilities of the Party whose personnel were dispatched, the charge will be canceled.
2.8.5 Billing for maintenance service is based on Frontier's respective tariff.
SECTION 3. Interconnection Forecasting.
3.1 Semi-annually Carrier will provide Frontier a one (1) year forecast for expected trunk utilization.
Orders for trunks that exceed forecasted quantities for forecasted locations will be accommodated as
facilities and/or equipment are available.
3.2 The forecasts will include the number, type and capacity of trunks as well as a description of
major network projects anticipated for the following six months. Major network projects include trunking
or network rearrangements, shifts in anticipated traffic patterns, or other activities that are reflected by a
significant increase or decrease in trunking demand for the following forecast period.
3.3 If a trunk group is under 75 percent of centum call seconds capacity on a monthly average basis
for each month of any six month period, either Party may issue an order to resize the trunk group, which
will be left with not less than 25 percent excess capacity. The grade of service for all final facilities
between Frontier's central office and Carrier's will be engineered to achieve P.01 grade of service.
SECTION 4. Reciprocal Compensation for the Transport and Termination of Interchanged
Traffic.
4.1 The Parties agree to exchange ISP Bound Traffic on a bill and keep basis between the Parties
such that neither Party owes the other Party any compensation for the origination, transport or
termination of such traffic. The preceding sentence applies only to the exchange of traffic between these
Parties and a separate determination of what ISP Bound Traffic was exchanged between Frontier and
any other party adopting this Agreement under 47 U.S.C. § 252(i) shall be required in order to determine
the appropriate compensation of ISP-Bound Traffic between Frontier and any such other party.
4.1.1 Neither Party expects to terminate material amounts of Local Traffic to the other Party,
and to the extent the Parties terminate Local Traffic they expect the volume of Local Traffic each
Party terminates to be comparable, thereby justifying the use of combined trunks for Local Traffic
and ISP Bound Traffic under Attachment 1, Section 1.4. As such it will not be possible to identify
Local Traffic and the Parties will reciprocally compensate each other using bill and keep.
4.2 The Parties will exchange Enhanced Services traffic other than ISP-Bound Traffic on a bill and
keep basis.
4.2.1 The fact that ISP Bound Traffic and de minimus amounts of Local Traffic are
compensated for on a bill and keep basis shall not change the compensation set forth in this
Agreement for any other traffic or services, including but not limited to facilities for Interconnection
under Section 1 of this Attachment 1, Access Services traffic, wireless traffic, and Transit Service
traffic.
4.3 VoIP Traffic. VoIP - PSTN Traffic exchanged pursuant to this Agreement will be governed by the
default provisions of USF/ICC Transformation Order FCC 11-161 (rel. November 18, 2011) as
such order may be revised, reconsidered, modified or changed in the future. When such
revisions, reconsiderations, modifications or changes are effective, such provisions shall be
automatically incorporated into this Agreement. For clarity, and subject to any future revisions,

reconsiderations, modifications or changes in the USFIICC Transformation Order, interexchange
VoIP-originated traffic terminated to either Party is subject to interstate access charges, and local
VoIP-originated traffic terminated to either Party is subject to the reciprocal compensation
provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree access charges will comply with all FCC
mirroring and default phase-down requirements.
4.4 All other Traffic, regardless of the protocols used in connection with such traffic, other than ISP
Bound Traffic, Local Traffic, Enhanced Services traffic, 911 traffic and Transit Service traffic, shall be
terminated to a Party subject to that Party's tariffed access charges.
SECTION 5. Transit Service
5.1 Carrier shall compensate Frontier for Transit Service as follows:
Carrier shall pay Frontier a Transit Service charge as set forth in Attachment 4, Pricing for Transit Service
originated by Carrier to any third party carrier, or terminated to Carrier from a third-party Incumbent Local
Exchange Carrier.
5.1.1 Each Party acknowledges that Frontier does not have any responsibility to pay any
charges for termination of any transit traffic originating from a non-Party's network.

of Frontier's End Users and the End Users of other LEGs, in the local section of Frontier's directories.
1.3 Carrier will identify any of these subscribers that are "non-published" End Users. Carrier will
provide Frontier with the directory information for all its End Users in the format specified in the Frontier
Local Service Provider Guide. Subscriber list information will include the End User's name, address,

Frontier accords its own directory listing information. Carrier grants Frontier full authority to provide
Carrier subscriber listings, excluding non-published telephone numbers, to other directory publishers and
will indemnify Frontier and its publisher from and against any liability resulting from the provisioning of
such listings. In exchange for Frontier providing this subscriber list service, Frontier will charge, bill,
collect and retain any monies derived from the sale of Carrier listings to other directory publishers.

book quantities to Frontier. Frontier will place the same restrictions on the Carrier's End Users as
it does for itself when assigning book quantities.
1.8 Carrier will adhere to all practices, standards, and ethical requirements of Frontier with regard to
listings, and, by providing Frontier with listing information, warrants to Frontier that Carrier has the right to
place such listings on behalf of its End Users. Carrier agrees that it will undertake commercially

knowing and adhering to state laws or rulings regarding listing information and for supplying Frontier with
applicable listing information. In addition, Carrier agrees to release, defend, hold harmless and indemnify
Frontier from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, suits, or other actions, or any liability
whatsoever, suffered, made, instituted, or asserted by any person arising out of Frontier's listing of the
information provided by Carrier hereunder.
1.9 Frontier's liability to Carrier in the event of a Frontier error in or omission of a listing will not
exceed the amount of charges actually paid by Carrier for such listing. In addition, Carrier agrees to take,
with respect to its own End Users, all reasonable steps to ensure that its' and Frontier's liability to
Carrier's End Users in the event of a Frontier error in or omission of a listing will be subject to the same
limitations that Frontier's liability to its own End Users are subject to.
