Any class, grade or type of business service regularly offered may be furnished to such locations in addition to the Semipublic Service, provided the use of the business service is confined to the management of the particular business establishment. Regular residence service may also be furnished in the quarters of guests, tenants, and/or patients in addition to Semipublic Service. 7. Under special circumstances, where in the opinion of the Company, it is practical to provide the necessary facilities, the tenants in separate motels, hotels, apartment houses, etc., may be served by one System. Under this arrangement all of the establishments must be under one ownership and operated as a single property. In such cases, the regular mileage charge treatment is applicable.

Description (Cont'd) Three-Way Calling Enables a customer to add a third customer on an established local or long distance connection without operator assistance. The third customer may be called by the customer initiating the Three-Way Calling on either a local or long-distance basis. This service is available on a usage or subscription basis. Warm Line Warm Line service allows a customer to establish a switched connection to a predetermined number if the customer does not dial a number within a specified length of time after going off-hook. When the customer's telephone goes offhook and dialing begins within a specified time delay period, the call will proceed normally as dialed. If dialing has not started before the end of the predefined time delay period, a predetermined stored number is automatically dialed by the central office switching equipment.

EXCHANGE SERVICES 5.5 PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE - COIN AND COINLESS 5.5.1 PUBLIC ACCESS LINE SERVICE A. Description (Cont'd) 7.

Fraud Protection Service is subject to the availability of facilities with Basic PAL Service. Operator assisted, collect and/or third number billed calls originating from locations that do not have screening capabilities may not be capable of being intercepted and denied and will be billed, e.g., International calls and calls that do not go through the Billing Validation Authority database.
