The Company may require a minimum contract period longer than one month at the same location in connection with special (non-standard) types or arrangements of equipment, or for unusual construction necessary to meet special demands, and involving extra cost. 2. Termination of Service - Subscriber's Request Service may be terminated prior to the expiration of the minimum contract period upon notice being given to the Company, and upon payment of any applicable termination charges in addition to any applicable charges due for service which has been furnished. In the case of service for which the minimum contract period is one month, termination will require that charges due for the balance of the minimum period be paid. In the case of directory listings where the listing has appeared in the directory or where a non-listed or non-published listing has been properly omitted, the charges are due to the end of the directory period, except that in the following cases charges will be continued only to the date of the termination of the extra listing or proper omission with a minimum charge of one month. (1) The Contract for the main service is terminated. (2) The listed party becomes a subscriber to some other class of exchange service. (3) The listed party moves to a new location. (4) The listed party dies. For special equipment, the charges will be based on the individual circumstances in each case as agreed upon at the time of installation. Contracts for periods longer than one month covering services whose installation required line extensions may be terminated upon payment of all charges that would accrue to the end of the contract period, or the contract will be transferred to a new applicant who is to occupy the same premises and will subscribe to the service effective on the day following termination by the original subscriber.

SPECIAL SERVICES AND FACILITIES Special services and facilities not ordinarily used in the furnishing of telephone service and not otherwise provided for by the tariff schedules of the Company may be furnished or leased pursuant to special contract for such special service or facility for such period as may b agreed upon, provided such special service or facility or the use made thereof is not unlawful and does not interfere with the telephone service furnished by the Company. Special services are provided for each individual application as a custom-engineered system to satisfy and provide for the needs of that customer. Applicable charges will be determined by the revenue requirements of the utility for each individual system. In the event any such special service or facility or the use made thereof interferes with the furnishing of the telephone service by the Company, the Company may terminate such contract and cease to furnish such special service or facility after thirty days written notice to the subscriber; and provided further that the commission may terminate such contract whenever, in its opinion, public interest requires such termination.

Only callers who have the subscriber's Personal Identification Number (PIN) can override the Do Not Disturb feature. To activate the feature, the subscriber can dial (*78) push-button or 1178 rotary. To deactivate the feature, the subscriber can dial (*79) push-button or 1179 rotary. Subscribers with push-button phones can change their PIN by dialing the access code (#87) push-button or 1187 rotary.

If the number is long distance, the subscriber is liable for any charges. Remote Access Call Forward – allows a user to activate or deactivate the Call Forwarding feature from a local or remote telephone. This is done by dialing 208-624-5600 for access, entering the user’s telephone number, a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and the activation/deactivation code. Customer must have Call Forwarding feature on their account for this service to be active. This feature may be activated from any telephone. Remote Call Forward (RCF) – allows incoming calls to be forwarded to a telephone number in a distant location. RCF does not require a physical telephone line. For example, a business could have a local phone number but with no local office and forward calls using the feature to their primary business location in another city. If your calls are forwarded to a long distance number, long distance toll charges will apply. Selective Call Acceptance - allows subscribers to specify a list of numbers from which they are willing to accept calls. Calls from numbers not contained on the list are routed to an appropriate announcement. The access code for this feature is (*84) push-button or 1184 rotary, and is used to add or delete numbers from the list of acceptable calls. Selective Call Forwarding - permits the subscriber to create a list of calling numbers that are to be call forwarded. If a call is received from a Directory Number on the screening list, the call is forwarded to the designated forward-to number. All other calls are treated normally. The access code for this feature is (*63) push-button or 1183 rotary. Toll Authorization – allows a subscriber to restrict unwanted long distance calls from being placed from their telephone. By adding this Toll Authorization feature long distance calls will not complete without the caller inputting via the keypad a selected security code. Caller dials their long distance number and will then hear a second dial tone at which time they enter their selected personal identification number (PIN). Unavailable Call Forward - This service forwards calls from the subscriber's line to an alternative [target] number only if the dialed number is unavailable, for example if the telephone is unplugged or loses power. This feature does not redirect phone calls when the line is simply busy. The customer chooses a target number to which they wish to have calls temporarily forwarded and Blackfoot provisions the target number into its switch. The customer has no ability to change their pre-set target number for forwarding and must call Blackfoot to change. There are no customer access codes. For customers that absolutely rely on being able to receive calls to conduct business, this is insurance that they can continue to receive calls to a single forwarding number as an interim solution until normal service is restored. Examples of this would be: A business customer line where orders are taken, call centers, anybody with their own phone system (PBX, Key System), and anyone who relies on being able to receive phone calls. Unavailable Call Forwarding (UCF) will work with:  POTS (analog and fed from an Integrated Access device (IAD))  Ergo (IP Centrex)  PRI / DSS  PBX (Private Branch Exchange) and Key Systems (KS) IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION Approved Effective Dec. 1, 2014 Dec. 8, 2014 Jean D.

No. 1 1st Revised Sheet No. 60 Cancels Original Sheet No. 60 ADVANCED CUSTOM CALLING FEATURES (ACCF) (Cont'd) DEFINITIONS (Cont'd) Analog POTS customers will benefit from this feature only if the POTS port in the CO goes down (e.g., Occam POTS port). This feature will NOT redirect calls when a copper line to the premises is accidentally cut, or the customer’s phone jack or power is unplugged. In addition to the same benefit as with analog POTS, if the Blackfoot IAD was to fail, the POTS line would be redirected. This feature will NOT redirect calls when a copper line to the premises is accidentally cut, or the customer’s phone jack or power is unplugged. PBX / KS Customers Key System (KS) and PBX systems are typically served with a POTS line, or with a DSS (T-1)/ PRI (T-1). Depending upon on how the system is served, the UCF feature works as described below. Served with DSS/ PRI: Unavailable Call Forwarding will route calls to the customer’s target number if the PBX or KS cannot be contacted by the Blackfoot switch in our CO, including when:  The T-1 (DSS / PRI) from the Blackfoot CO to NIU (Network Interface Unit) located at the customer premises is cut.  The NIU is inoperative (network interface unit)  Connection from NIU to PBX/KS is cut or unplugged  PBX/KS is unplugged Served with POTS: If the KS or PBX are not served by a T-1/PRI and are service by POTS or POTS via IAD (e.g., Adtran or VINA), then those scenarios will apply (see the POTS scenarios above, the VINA scenario is below). The Unavailable Call Forwarding would be assigned against the entire PBX group number block, meaning the Unavailable Call Forwarding would set up against the PBX main number and the main number and all the DID assigned in this group will follow the Unavailable Call Forwarding number assigned. Usage Sensitive Call Forwarding - causes all calls attempting to terminate to a subscriber line to be directed to an alternate line, whether the subscriber's line is busy or idle. The feature differs from standard Call Forwarding in that the subscriber is charged on a usage basis rather than a flat rate basis. The access code to activate the feature is (*72) push-button or 1172 rotary To deactivate the feature the access code is (*73) push-button or 1173 rotary. Usage Sensitive 3-Way Calling - allows a subscriber to add a third party into an existing conversation by dialing an access code (*71) push-button or 1171 rotary. The feature differs from standard 3- Way Calling in that the subscriber is charged on a per usage basis rather than a flat rate basis. The access code to activate the feature is (*74) push-button or 1174 rotary To deactivate the feature the access code is (*75) push-button or 1175 rotary. Voice/Data Protection - allows a subscriber to inhibit intrusion features (e.g, Call Waiting and Operator Verification) when the subscriber's line is busy. Voice/Data Protection prevents data transmission errors typically caused by the interruption tones associated with such features. The subscriber can activate the feature by dialing (*97) push-button or 1197 rotary and deactivate the feature by dialing (*98) push-button or 1198 rotary.

Russell Street Missoula, MT 59808 Advice Letter: ID--13-04 FREMONT TELECOM CO. I.P.U.C. No. 1 Original Sheet No. 80 CONSTRUCTION CHARGES 1. GENERAL Line extensions which entail construction charges, consist of additions to plant beyond existing leads, and do not include additions to plant along existing telephone utility leads. Line Extension charges are applied to subscriber applicants with abnormally long extension requirements to prevent unreasonably burdening the general body of existing subscribers. All construction will be owned and maintained by the Company. Construction charges set forth in this schedule apply in connection with all types of service when established by means of an extension to the Company's plant consisting of " buried wire or pole construction, including extensions by means of poles to be owned solely by the Company or jointly with others and by means of contacts or contact space on poles of others. The Company shall determine the type of construction to be used. When an applicant is so located that it is necessary to use private and/or public right-of-way to furnish service, and the Company is unable to obtain the required right-of-way without cost the applicant may be required to pay the costs incurred in securing the right-of-way in addition to other charges. In lieu of the charges otherwise applicable, the applicant, if he so elects, may initially clear the right of way, furnish and set the required poles in accordance with the normal construction standards of the Company. In all instances the ownership of facilities shall be entirely vested in the Company. The locations of line extensions are determined by the telephone company and the distances (including drop wire) are measured along the route so selected. Construction to serve two or more customers, whether on public right-of-way or private easements, may be used for serving subscribers in general.

Russell Street Missoula, MT 59808 Advice Letter: ID--13-04 FREMONT TELECOM CO. I.P.U.C. No. 1 Original Sheet No. 81 CONSTRUCTION CHARGES (Cont'd) GENERAL (Cont'd) The total extension to plant (along public roads or on private property) to be furnished without charge shall not exceed 1000 feet per application. Where the total extension exceeds 1000 feet, the Free Footage Allowance is first computed for the private property portion of the extension prior to computing any allowance for the construction along public roads. In addition to the Free Footage Allowance, customers shall receive up to 300 feet of drop wire construction without charge. Contracts, covering periods not more than three years of telephone service, may be required by the Company as a condition precedent to establishment of the service when line extensions are necessary. Such contracts will not require advance or unusual payments in excess of those otherwise required by this schedule, and shall not interfere with the Company's right to collect amounts as provided elsewhere in its tariff schedule. Construction charges assessed to applicants will be based on Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Rules and Regulations when applicable. In case of disagreement or dispute regarding the application of any provisions of this rule, or in circumstances where the application of this rule appears impracticable or unjust to either party, the utility, applicant, or applicants may refer the matter to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission for ruling. The estimated cost of the line extensions are payable in advance. In the event of overcharge refunds to applicants will reflect the difference between the estimated cost and the actual cost of the line extension. In the event of undercharge, the Company shall bill the applicant for an amount not to exceed 10% of the estimated extension costs. Any adjustments between the estimated costs advanced by the applicant and the reasonable actual cost shall be made within sixty days after completion of the extension.

For line extensions of unusually long length or high cost, the Company may also estimate the cost of providing radio telephone service. The Company or applicant may request either line extension or radio telephone service and the applicant will pay the actual cost for the chosen option in excess of the free allowance which would be provided under the line extension option. GROUP OF APPLICANTS When construction is required to serve a new applicant, a survey is made of all prospective subscribers who might be served from the new construction or an extension thereof and who might benefit by being included in the project. Free footage allowances are made only for those prospective subscribers making a written application for service. All applicants are grouped in a single project when there is no more than one-half mile of construction between successive applicants. Separate projects are established whenever the construction between any two successive applicants exceeds one-half mile. Two or more projects are combined, however, whenever this results in lower charges (or no increase in charges) for all of the applicants involved. An applicant at any premises receives only a single line extension and drop wire allowance regardless of the number of services ordered at that premises. Applicants ordering service at more than one premises are treated as separate applicants at each premises for purposes of this schedule.

No. 1 Original Sheet No. 84 CONSTRUCTION CHARGES (Cont'd) GROUP OF APPLICANTS (Cont'd) For the purpose of determining project charges, the collective free footage allowance for the group is subtracted from the overall Line Extension footage required for service. The total project cost is then divided equally among all applicants. Exceptions: (1) No applicant is required to pay a higher charge than he would if the project were established for him alone. Any difference between this charge and the average charge for the group is absorbed by the Company. (2) Charges for extensions to plant on private property (including drop wire) are assumed by applicants on whose property such extensions are made and these charges are not included in the overall charges for the project. Likewise, the free footage allowance on private property is not included in the collective allowance for the project. CHARGES TO SUBSEQUENT APPLICANTS When a new applicant can be served from a completed project, within three years from the date service was initially established for such project, the charges for the entire project are recomputed to include the new applicant. The new applicant pays a prorated amount of the line extension charge based on the number of months (a fraction of a month is counted as a full month) remaining in the original three-year term. The time is computed from the date service is established for the new applicant. Where additional construction is required for an applicant to be served from a project less than three years old, the cost of the project is computed as above if such recomputation does not increase the charges to those customers served from the existing project. Otherwise, a new project will be established. When a project is recomputed as described above, existing subscribers will be refunded a prorated amount of the difference between the original charges and the recomputed charges based on the remainder of the three-year term. Recomputation of the charges due to the addition of new applicants is made on the assumption that there have been no disconnects.

No. 1 Original Sheet No. 85 CONSTRUCTION CHARGES (Cont'd) CHARGES TO SUBSEQUENT APPLICANTS (Cont'd) Where construction on private property is subsequently treated as being on public roads, or where a private road is dedicated to the public use, within three years of completion of the original project, the time extension charges shall be recomputed and refunds made to the initial applicants where applicable. DISCONNECTS AND REUSE OF FACILITIES When one or more subscribers on a project disconnect within the three year term, no refund is made of the line extension charge to the disconnected subscribers. Charges to remaining subscribers are not affected by disconnects. When a subscriber disconnects service or moves off the project and service is established for a new applicant at the same location, any adjustment in charges is a matter for negotiation between the original subscriber and the new applicant. Where a subscriber is disconnected for any reason and subsequently re-applies for service from the same premises or another premises on the same project, the subscriber will not be required to pay any additional line extension charges in addition to his total original obligation. REAL ESTATE SUBDIVISIONS Line extensions into real estate subdivisions will be made by the Company provided 60% of the estimated total cost of such extension is advanced to the Company by the subdivider. The amount so advanced will be refunded to the subdivider when 50% of the estimated total telephone services are connected within the subdivision during a period of five years from date of agreement. The subdivider shall notify the Company in writing when the 50% hook-up has been attained. Final evaluation will be made by the Company. RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS 1. Within the applicant s subdivision, the Company will construct, own, operate, and maintain facilities only along public streets, roads, and highways which the Company has the legal right to occupy, and on public lands and private property across which rights-of-way and easements satisfactory to the Company may be obtained without cost or need for condemnation by the Company. 2. Rights-of-way and easements, within the subdivision, satisfactory to the Company, must be furnished by the applicant in reasonable time to meet construction and service requirements before the Company shall be required to commence its installation. Such rights-of-way and easements must be cleared of trees, tree stumps and other obstructions and graded to within six inches of final grade, by applicant, at no charge to the Company. Such clearance and grading must be maintained by the applicant during construction by the Company. IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION Approved Effective Sept. 16, 2013 Oct. 9, 2013 Jean D.

If a subscriber maintains for thirty-six consecutive months a service installation which was originally established on a temporary or speculative basis, and if his business or operation at the end of that time has proven its permanency to the satisfaction of the Company, there will be refunded to the subscriber an amount equal to the difference between the payment made and the normal line extension charge which would have been applicable at the time the subscriber service was installed. In no event shall service installation be classes as temporary or speculative for more than six years. Refund provisions apply at the end of not more than six years. SAVING CLAUSE Arrangements may be made, other than as provided for above in this schedule, in the following cases subject to prior authorization of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission: Where the applicant requests a particular type of construction or a specific route for extensions to meet the applicant's special requirements and where the construction or route so requested differs from the normal standards of the Company and is not required by law.

No. 1 Original Sheet No. 99 BASIC EMERGENCY 911 SERVICE DESCRIPTION 1. 911 Emergency Communications System Service (911 Service) is a telephone exchange service whereby a Public Safety Answering point (PSAP) designated by the customer may receive calls signaled to the telephone number 911. The service provides the capability to answer emergency calls originated by persons within the serving area who dial 911. 2. 911 Service provides for routing 911 calls originated by telephone with given central office prefix codes to a single PSAP vial the switched network to dedicated or nondedicated access lines. The choice of the service arrangement is the customer , subject to availability of facilities. 3. The 911 Code feature permits the public to dial 911 and have the central office route the call to the PSAP. 4. The dedicated access line option provides a circuit from the originating end office to the PSAP. The following optional features are available where operating conditions permit: Forced Disconnect Enables a PSAP attendant to terminate, at any time, an existing 911 call regardless of the action of the calling party. Forced disconnect prevents the dedicated facilities (lines or trunks) to the P ASP from being tied up by calling parties who remain off-hook. After the PSAP attendant releases from a 911 call, the dedicated 911 trunk or line facility to the PSAP is automatically released and made available for other 911 calls. Forced disconnect may be used to disconnect any established 911 call connection to a PSAP. Idle Tone A reorder tone at 120 IPM is a tone that is given to alert the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) attendance that the originating party has gone off-hook after the 911 call was established to the Company but before the PSAP attendant answered the phone. This feature allows the PSAP attendant to distinguish between calls that are abandoned before they are answered and calls where the calling party is unable to speak for some reason. Switchhook Status This is a feature which automatically provides a visual indication of the switchhook status of the originating station after the PSAP attendant answers the call. It provides the visual indications, in connection with the customer's terminal equipment, to allow the PSAP attendant to know whether a 911 call put on hold is still on hold or has disconnected. Additionally, a control circuit is required in connection with the customer provided visual lamp indicator. IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION Approved Effective Sept. 16, 2013 Oct. 9, 2013 Jean D.
