Recurrin Char es: The Company shall present invoices for recurring
charges monthly to the Customer, in advance of the month in which
service is provided, and recurring charges shall be due and payable
within thirty (30) days after the date the invoice is mailed to the
Customer by the Company. When billing is based upon Customer
usage, usage charges will be billed monthly for the preceding billing
period.
When service does not begin on the first day of the month, or end on the
last day of the month, the charge for the fraction of the month in which
service was furnished will be calculated on a pro rata basis. For this
purpose, every month is considered to have thirty (30) days.
D. Billing of the Customer by the Company will begin on the Service
Commencement Date, and accrues through and includes the day that the
service, circuit, arrangement or component is discontinued.
If any portion of the payment is received by the Company after the date
due, or if any portion of the payment is received by the Company in
funds which are not immediately available upon presentment, then a late
payment penalty shall be due to the Company. A late payment charge in
the amount of the lesser of 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the
maximum lawful rate per month, for bills not paid within thirty (30)
days of receipt, is not applicable to subsequent rebilling of any amount
to which a late payment charge has already been applied. Late payment
charges are to be applied without discrimination.

APPLICATION OF RATES
Introduction
The regulations set forth in this section govern the application of rates for services
contained in other sections of this tariff.
U sa e Based Char
Where charges for a service are specified based on the duration of use, such as the
duration of a telephone call, the following rules apply:
1 Calls are measured in durational increments identified for each service. All
calls which are fractions of a measurement increment are rounded-up to the
next whole unit.
2 Timing on completed calls begins when the call is answered by the called
party. Answering is determined by hardware answer supervision in all cases
where this signaling is provided by the terminating local carrier and any
intermediate carrieres). Timing for operator service person-to-person calls
start with completion of the connection to the person called or an acceptable
substitute, or to the PBX station called.
2.3 Timing terminates on all calls when the calling party hangs up or the
Company s network receives an off-hook signal from the terminating carrier.
2.4 Calls originating in one time period and terminating in another will be billed
in proportion to the rates in effect during different segments of the call.
5 All times refer to local time.

APPLICATION OF RATES (cont'
Rates Based U on Distance
Where charges for a service are specified based upon distance, the following rules
apply:
3.3.1 Distance between two points is measured as airline distance between the rate
centers of the originating and terminating telephone lines. The rate center is a
set of geographic coordinates, as referenced in Local Exchange Routing
Guide issued by Bellcore, associated with each NP A-NXX combination
(where NP A is the area code and NXX is the first three digits of a seven-digit
telephone number). Where there is no telephone number associated with an
access line on the Company s network (such as a dedicated 800 or W A
access line), the Company will apply the rate center of the Customer s main
billing telephone number.
3.3.2 The airline distance between any two rate centers is determined as follows:
Obtain the "V" (vertical) and "H" (horizontal) coordinates for each Rate
Center from the above-referenced Bellcore document.
Compute the difference between the "V" coordinates of the two rate
centers; and the difference between the two "H" coordinates.
Square each difference obtained in step (b) above.
D. Add the square of the "V" difference and the square of the "
difference obtained in step C above.
Divide the sum of the squares by 10.
