The purpose of this exhibit is to identify how CLEC's ICB requests - whether they be for rates or intervals - are processed through and by Qwest. ICB Rate Intervals 2.1 2.2 For those products and services identified in the SGAT that contain a provision for ICB rates, Qwest will provide CLEC with a written quote of the ICB rate within twenty (20) business days unless a specific interval for providing the quote is either contained in the SGA T or this Exhibit. The purpose of this subsection is to identify those circumstances when the generic twenty (20) business day interval in the aforementioned subsection to this Exhibit does not apply. In these specified circumstances, Qwest shall provide CLEC with an ICB quote within the stated specific intervals: Quotes for all Bona Fide Requests (BFR) shall be provided in accord with Section 17. Quotes for all Special Request Processes (SRP) shall be provided in accord with Exhibit F. 2.2.Quotes for all collocation requests, regardless of the type collocation, shall be provided in accord with the Section 8 interval. 2.4 Quotes for all Field Connection Point requests shall be provided in accord with Section 9. 2.2.Quotes for all Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) requests shall be provided in accord with Section 9. Upon request, Qwest shall provide CLEC with Qwest's supporting cost data and/or cost studies for the Unbundled Network Element or service that CLEC wishes to order within seven (7) business days, except where Qwest cannot obtain a release from its vendors within seven (7) business days, in which case Qwest will make the data available as soon as Qwest receives the vendor release. Consistent with the terms and conditions any applicable vendor contract or agreement, Qwest shall diligently pursue obtaining the release of cost information as soon as reasonably possible. To the extent consistent with the terms and obligations of any applicable vendor contract or agreement, Qwest shall request the release of vendor cost information when Qwest communicates with the vendor(s) when Qwest seeks a quote for the costs of the ICB project. Such cost data shall be treated as confidential information if requested by Qwest under the non-disclosure sections of this Agreement. Qwest Idaho Third, Exhibit I May 24, 2002 Page 1 ICB Provisioning Intervals For those products and services provided pursuant to this SGAT that contain a provision for ICB interval but do not contain a specific provision for when the ICB interval shall be provided, the ICB interval shall be provided within twenty (20) business days of receipt of the order, request or application. 3.2 For ICB intervals for those products and services that require negotiated project time lines for installation, such as 2/4 wire analog loop for more than twenty-five (25) loops, the Qwest representative, authorized to commit to intervals, shall meet with CLEC's representative within seven (7) business days of receipt of the request from CLEC to negotiate intervals. awes! Idaho Third, Exhibit I May 24, 2002 Page 2 Exhibit J Election of Reciprocal Compensation Option Intentionally left blank Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revision Exhibit J May 24, 2002 Page 1 Exhibit K PERFORMANCE ASSURANCE PLAN Introduction As set forth in this Agreement, Qwest and CLEC voluntarily agree to the terms of the following Performance Assurance Plan ("PAP"), prepared in conjunction with Qwest's application for approval under Section 271 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act") to offer in-region long distance service. Plan Structure The PAP is a two-tiered, self-executing remedy plan. CLEC shall be provided with Tier 1 payments if, as applicable, Qwest does not provide parity between the service it provides to CLEC and that which it provides to its own retail customers, or Qwest fails to meet applicable benchmarks. 1 As specified in section 7., if Qwest fails to meet parity and benchmark standards on an aggregate CLEC basis, Qwest shall make Tier 2 payments to a Fund established by the state regulatory commission or, if required by existing law , to the state general fund. As specified in sections 6.0 and 7.0 and Attachments 1 and 2, payment is generally on a per occurrence basis , (Le., a set dollar payment times the number of non-conforming service events). For the performance measurements which do not lend themselves to per occurrence payment, payment is on a per measurement basis, (Le., a set dollar payment). The level of payment also depends upon the number of consecutive months of non-conforming performance , (Le., an escalating payment the longer the duration of non-conforming performance). Qwest shall be in conformance with the parity standard when service Qwest provides to CLEC is equivalent to that which it provides to its retail customers. The PAP relies upon statistical scoring to determine whether any difference between CLEC and Qwest performance results is significant, that is, not attributable to simple random variation. Statistical parity shall exist when performance results for CLEC and for Qwest retail analogue result in a z-value that is no greater than the critical z- values listed in the Critical Z-Statistical Table in section 5. 2.4 For performance measurements that have no Qwest retail analogue, agreed upon benchmarks shall be used. Benchmarks shall be evaluated using a "stare and compare" method. For example , if the benchmark is for a particular performance measurement is ' 95% or better , Qwest performance results must be at least 95% to meet the benchmark. Percentage benchmarks will be adjusted to round the allowable number of misses up or down to the closest integer, except when a benchmark standard and low CLEC volume are such that a 100% performance result would be required to meet the standard and has not been attained. In such a Owest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 - 1- Exhibit K situation , the determination of whether Qwest meets or fails the benchmark standard will be made using performance results for the month in question, plus a sufficient number of consecutive months so that a 100% performance result would not be required to meet the standard. For purposes of section 6., a meet or fail determined by this procedure shall count as a single month. Performance Measurements The performance measurements included in the PAP are set forth in Attachment 1. Each performance measurement identified is defined in the Performance Indicator Definitions ("PI Ds ) developed in the ROG Operational Support System ("OSS") collaborative, and which are included in the SGA T at Exhibit B. The measurements have been designated as Tier 1 , Tier 2, or both Tier 1 and Tier 2 and given a High, Medium , or Low designation. Statistical Measurement Qwest uses a statistical test, namely the modified "test " for evaluating the difference between two means (i.e., Qwest and GLEG service or repair intervals) or two percentages (e., Qwest and GLEG proportions), to determine whether a parity condition exists between the results for Qwest and the GLEG(s). The modified z- tests shall be applicable if the number of data points are greater than 30 for a given measurement. For testing measurements for which the number of data points are 30 or less, Qwest will use a permutation test to determine the statistical significance of the difference between Qwest and GLEG. Qwest shall be in conformance when the monthly performance results for parity measurements (whether in the form of means , percents , or proportions and at the equivalent level of disaggregation) are such that the calculated z-test statistics are not greater than the critical z-values as listed in Table 1 , section 5. Qwest shall be in conformance with benchmark measurements when the monthly performance result equals or exceeds the benchmark, if a higher value means better performance, and when the monthly performance result equals or is less than the benchmark if a lower value means better performance. The formula for determining parity using the modified z-test is: z = DIFF O"OIFF Where: DIFF = Mawest - MCLEG MaWEST = Qwest average or proportion Owest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 - 2- Exhibit K MCLEC = CLEC average or proportion O'oIFF = square root Do Qwest (1/ n CLEC + 1/ n awest)) awest = calculated variance for Qwest nawest = number of observations or samples used in Qwest measurement nCLEC = number of observations or samples used in GLEC measurement The modified z-tests will be applied to reported parity measurements that contain more than 30 data points. In calculating the difference between Qwest and CLEC performance, the above formula applies when a larger Qwest value indicates a better level of performance. In cases where a smaller Qwest value indicates a higher level of performance, the order is reversed , i.e., MCLEC - MaWEST. For parity measurements where the number of data points is 30 or less Qwest will apply a permutation test to test for statistical significance. Permutation analysis will be applied to calculate the z-statistic using the following logic: . Calculate the modified z-statistic for the actual arrangement of the data Pool and mix the CLEC and Qwest data sets Perform the following 1000 times: Randomly subdivide the pooled data sets into two pools, one the same size as the original CLEC data set (nCLEC) and one reflecting the remaining data points , and one reflecting the remaining data points (which is equal to the size of the original Qwest data set or nawEsT). Compute and store the modified z-test score (Zs) for this sample. Count the number of times the z-statistic for a permutation of the data is greater than the actual modified z-statistic Compute the fraction of permutations for which the statistic for the rearranged data is greater than the statistic for the actual samples If the fraction is greater than ex, the significance level of the test, the hypothesis of no difference is not rejected , and the test is passed. The ex shall be .05 when the critical z value is 1.645 and .15 when the critical z value is 1.04. Critical Z-Value The following table shall be used to determine the critical z-value that is referred to in section 6.0. It is based on the monthly business volume of the CLEC Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 - 3- Exhibit K for the particular performance measurements for which statistic testing is being performed. TABLE 1: CRITICAL Z-ALUE CLEC volume LIS Trunks,UDITs All Other (Sample size)Resale, UBL-DS1 and DS- 04*645 11-150 645 645 151-300 301-600 601-3000 3001 and above The 1.04 applies for individual month testing for performance measurements involving LIS trunks and DS-1 and DS-3 that are UDITs, Resale, or Unbundled Loops. The performance measurements are OP-3d/e, OP-4d/e, OP-, OP-4/5 MR-5a/b , MR-7d/e, and MR- For purposes of determining consecutive month misses, 1.645 shall be used. Where performance measurements disaggregate to zone 1 and zone 2, the zones shall be combined for purposes of statistical testing. Tier 1 Payments to CLEC Tier 1 payments to CLEC shall be made solely for the performance measurements designated as Tier 1 on Attachment 1. The payment amount for non- conforming service varies depending upon the designation of performance measurements as High, Medium, and Low and the duration of the non-conforming service condition as described below. Non-conforming service is defined in section Determination of Non-Conforming Measurements: The number of performance measurements that are determined to be non-conforming and, therefore, eligible for Tier 1 payments , are limited according to the critical z-value shown in Table 1 , section 5.0. The critical z-values are the statistical standard that determines for each CLEC performance measurement whether Owest has met parity. The critical z-value is selected from Table 1 according to the monthly CLEC volume for the performance measurement. For instance , if the GLEG sample size for that month is 100, the critical z-value is 1.645 for the statistical testing of that parity performance measurement. Determination of the Amount of Payment: Tier 1 payments to GLEG, except as provided for in sections 6.3 and 10., are calculated and paid monthly based on the number of performance measurements exceeding the critical z-value. Payments Owest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 - 4- Exhibit K will be made on either a per occurrence or per measurement basis, depending upon the performance measurement, using the dollar amounts specified in Table 2 below. The dollar amounts vary depending upon whether the performance measurement is designated High , Medium, or Low and escalate depending upon the number of consecutive months for which Qwest has not met the standard for the particular measurement. The escalation of payments for consecutive months of non-conforming service will be matched month for month with de-escalation of payments for every month of conforming service. For example , if Qwest has four consecutive monthly misses" it will make payments that escalate from month 1 to month 4 as shown in Table 2. If, in the next month , service meets the standard Qwest makes no payment. A payment "indicator" de-escalates down from month 4 to month 3. Qwest misses the following month , it will make payment at the month 3 level of Table 2 because that is where the payment "indicator" presently sits. If Qwest misses again the following month, it will make payments that escalate back to the month 4 level. The payment level will de-escalate back to the original month 1 level only upon conforming service sufficient to move the payment "indicator" back to the month level. For those performance measurements listed on Attachment 2 Performance Measurements Subject to Per Measurement Gaps " payment to a GLEG in a single month shall not exceed the amount listed in Table 2 below for the Per Measurement" category. For those performance measurements listed on Attachment 2 as "Performance Measurements Subject to Per Measurement Payments " payment to a GLEG will be the amount set forth in Table 2 below under the section labeled "per measurement."

For purposes of calculating Tier payments, collocation jobs and collocation feasibility studies that are later than the due date will have a per day payment applied according to Table 3. The per day payment will be applied to any collocation job in which the feasibility study is provided or the collocation installation is completed later than the scheduled date. The calculation of the payment amount will be performed by applying the per day payment amounts as specified in Table 3. Thus, for days 1 through 10, the payment is $150 per day. For days 11 through 20 , the payment is $300 per day and so on. TABLE 3: TIER-1 COLLOCATION PAYMENTS TO CLECS Days Late Completion Date Feasibility Study 1 to 10 days $150/day $45/day 11 to 20 days $300/day $90/day 21 to 30 days $450/day $135/day 31 to 40 days $600/day $180/day More than 40 days 000/day $300/day 6.4 A minimum payment calculation shall be performed at the end of each year for each CLEC with annual order volumes of no more than 1 200. The payment shall be calculated by multiplying $2 000 by the number of months in which at least one payment was due to the CLEC. To the extent that the actual CLEC payment for the year is less than the product of the preceding calculation , Qwest shall make an additional payment equal to the difference. Tier 2 Payments to the State Payments to the State shall be limited to the performance measurements designated in section 7.4 for Tier 2 per measurement payments and in Attachment for per occurrence payments and which have at least 10 data points each month for the period payments are being calculated. Similar to the Tier 1 structure, Tier 2 measurements are categorized as High , Medium, and Low and the amount payments for non-conformance varies according to this categorization. Determination of Non-Conforming Measurements: The determination of non- conformance will be based upon the aggregate of all CLEC data for each Tier 2 performance measurement. Non-conforming service is defined in section 4.2 (for parity measurements) and 4.3 (for benchmark measurements), except that a 1.645 critical z-value shall be used for Tier 2 parity measurements that have Tier 1 counterparts. The critical z-value is the statistical standard that determines for each performance measurement whether Qwest has met parity. Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30 2004 - 6- Exhibit K Determination of the Amount of Payment: Except as provided in section 7.4 Tier 2 payments are calculated and paid monthly based on the number of performance measurements failing performance standards for a third consecutive month , or if two out of three consecutive months in the 12 month period have been missed, the second consecutive month for Tier 2 measurements with Tier counterparts. For Tier 2 measurements that do not have Tier 1 counterparts payments are calculated and paid monthly based on the number of performance measurements exceeding the critical z-values, identified in section 5., in any single month. Payment will be made on either a per occurrence or per measurement basis whichever is applicable to the performance measurement, using the dollar amounts specified in Table 4 or Table 5 below. Except as provided in section 7.4 , the dollar amounts vary depending upon whether the performance measurement is designated High , Medium , or Low. For those Tier 2 measurements listed on Attachment 2 as "Performance Measurements Subject to Per Measurement Caps " payment to the State in a single month shall not exceed the amount listed in Table 4 for the "Per Measurement" category.

Failure to meet the performance standard, therefore, will result in a per measurement payment in each of the Qwest in-region 14 states adopting this PAP. The performance measurements are: GA-1: Gateway Availability -IMA-GUI GA-2: Gateway Availability - IMA-EDI GA-3: Gateway Availability - EB- GA-4: System Availability - EXACT GA-6: Gateway Availability - GUI-Repair PO-1: Pre-Order/Order Response Times OP-2: Call Answered within Twenty Seconds Interconnect Provisioning Center Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30 2004 - 7- Exhibit K MR-2: Calls Answered within Twenty Seconds - Interconnect Repair Center GA-1 has two sub-measurements: GA-, and GA-1D. PO-1 shall have two sub- measurements: PO-1 A and PO-1 B. PO-1 A and PO-1 B shall have their transaction types aggregated together. For these measurements, Qwest will make a Tier 2 payment based upon monthly performance results according to Table 5: Tier 2 Per Measurement Payments to State Funds.

The statistical testing procedures described in section 4.0 shall be applied. For the purpose of determining the critical z-values , each disaggregated category of a performance measurement is treated as a separate sub-measurement. The critical z-value to be applied is determined by the CLEC volume at each level of disaggregation or sub-measurement. Performance Measurements for which Tier 1 Payment is Per Occurrence: Performance Measurements that are Averages or Means: Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30 2004 - 8- Exhibit K 1 Step 1: For each performance measurement, the average or the mean that would yield the critical z-value shall be calculated. The same denominator as the one used in calculating the z-statistic for the measurement shall be used. (For benchmark measurements, the benchmark value shall be used. 2 Step 2: The percentage differences between the actual averages and the calculated averages shall be calculated. The calculation is % diff = (CLEC result Calculated Value )/Calculated Value. The percent difference shall be capped at a maximum of 100%. In all calculations of percent differences in sections 8.0 and 9. the calculated percent differences is capped at 100%. 2 Step 3: For each performance measurement, the total number of data points shall be multiplied by the percentage calculated in the previous step and the per occurrence dollar amounts from the Tier 1 Payment Table shall determine the payment to the CLEC for each non-conforming performance measurement. Performance Measurements that are Percentages: 1 Step 1: For each performance measurement, the percentage that would yield the critical z-value shall be calculated. The same denominator as the one used in calculating the z- statistic for the measurement shall be used. (For benchmark measurements, the benchmark value shall be used. 2 Step 2: The difference between the actual percentages for the CLEC and the calculated percentages shall be determined. 3 Step 3: For each performance measurement, the total number of data points shall be multiplied by the difference in percentage calculated in the previous step, and the per occurrence dollar amount taken from the Tier 1 Payment Table, to determine the payment to the CLEC for each non-conforming performance measurement. Performance Measurements that are Ratios or Proportions: 1 Step 1: For each performance measurement the ratio that would yield the critical z-value shall be calculated. The same denominator as the one used calculating the z-statistic for the measurement shall be used. (For benchmark measurements, the benchmark value shall be used. 2 Step 2: The absolute difference between the actual rate for the CLEC and the calculated rate shall be determined. 3 Step 3: For each performance measurement, the total number of data points shall be multiplied by the difference calculated in the previous step, and the per occurrence dollar amount taken from the Tier 1 Payment Table, to determine the payment to the CLEC for each non-conforming performance measurement. Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30 2004 - 9- Exhibit K Performance Measurements for which Tier 1 Payment is Per Measure: For each performance measurement where Owest fails to meet the standard the payment to the CLEC shall be the dollar amount shown on the "per measure portion of Table 2: Tier 1 Payments to CLEC. Step by Step Calculation of Monthly Tier 2 Payments to State Funds Application of the Critical Z-Value: Owest shall identify the Tier 2 parity performance measurements that measure . the service provided by Owest to all CLECs for the month in question. The statistical testing procedures described section 4.0 shall be applied, except that a 1.645 critical z-value shall be used for Tier parity measurements that have Tier 1 counterparts For Tier 2 parity measurements that do not have Tier 1 counterparts, the statistical testing procedures described section 4.0 shall be applied using the critical z-values identified in section To determine if Tier 2 payments for performance measurements listed on Attachment 1 shall be made in the current month, the following shall be determined. For Tier 2 measurements that have Tier 1 counterparts , it shall be determined whether Owest missed the performance standard for three consecutive months, or if Owest has missed the standard in any two out of three consecutive months for the 12 month period and for an additional two consecutive months. For Tier 2 measurements that do not have Tier 1 counterparts, it shall be determined whether Owest missed the performance standard for a single month. If any of these conditions are met and there are at least 10 data points for the measurement in each month , a Tier 2 payment will be calculated and paid as described below and will continue in each succeeding month until Owest's performance meets the applicable standard. For Tier 2 measures that have Tier 1 counterparts, the most recent three months of nonconforming performance data that results in payment liability shall be averaged to determine payment. Performance Measurements for which Tier 2 Payment is Per Occurrence: Performance Measurements that are Averages or Means: 1 Step 1: The monthly average or the mean for each performance measurement that would yield the critical z-value for each month shall be calculated. The same denominator as the one used in calculating the z-statistic for the measurement shall be used. (For benchmark measurements, the benchmark value shall be used. 2 Step 2: The percentage difference between the actual averages and the calculated averages for the relevant month(s) shall be calculated. The calculation for parity measurements is % diff = (actual average - calculated average)/calculated Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30 2004 10- Exhibit K average. The percent difference shall be capped at a maximum of 100%. In all calculations of percent differences in section 8.0 and section ., the calculated percent difference is capped at 100%. 3 Step 3: For each performance measurement, the total number of data points for the relevant month(s) shall be multiplied by the percentage calculated in the previous step. The amount (average amount, if more than one month) (rounded to the nearest integer) is then multiplied by the result of the per occurrence dollar amount taken from the Tier 2 Payment Table to determine the payment to the State for each non-conforming performance measurement. Performance Measurements that are Percentages: Step 1: For each performance measurement , the monthly percentage that would yield the critical z-value for each month shall be calculated. The same denominator as the one used in calculating the z-statistic for the measurement shall be used. (For benchmark measurements, the benchmark value shall be used. 2 Step 2: The difference between the actual percentages and the calculated percentages for the relevant month(s) shall be calculated. The calculation for parity measurement is diff = (GLEG result - calculated percentage). This formula shall be applicable where a high value is indicative of poor performance. The formula shall be reversed where high performance is indicative of good performance. 3 Step 3: For each performance measurement, the total number of data points for the relevant month(s) shall be multiplied by the difference in percentage calculated in the previous step. The amount (average amount, if more than one month)(rounded to the nearest integer) is then multiplied by the result of the per occurrence dollar amounts taken from the Tier 2 Payment Table to determine the payment to the State. 9.4 Performance Measurements that are Ratios or Proportions: 9.4.Step 1: For each performance measurement, the ratio that would yield the critical z-value for each month shall be calculated. The same denominator as the one used in calculating the z-statistic for the measurement shall be used. (For benchmark measurements , the benchmark value shall be used. 9.4.1 Step 2: The difference between the actual rate for the GLEG and the calculated rate for the relevant month(s) shall be calculated. The calculation is: diff = (GLEG rate calculated rate). This formula shall apply where a high value is indicative of poor performance. The formula shall be reversed where high performance is indicative of good performance. 9.4.1.2 Step 3: For each performance measurement, the total number of data points shall be multiplied by the difference calculated in the previous step for each month. Owest Idaho SGA T Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30, 2004 - 11- Exhibit K The amount (average amount, if more than one month)(rounded to the nearest integer) is then multiplied by the result of the per occurrence dollar amounts taken from the Tier 2 Payment Table to determine the payment to the State. Performance Measurements for which Tier 2 Payment is Per Measure: For each performance measurement where Qwest fails to meet the standard the payment to the State Fund shall be the dollar amount shown on the "per measure" portion of the Tier 2 Payment Table. 10.Low Volume, Developing Markets 10.For certain qualifying performance standards, if the aggregate monthly volumes of GLEGs participating in the PAP are more than 10, but less than 100 Qwest will make Tier 1 payments to GLEGs for failure to meet the parity or benchmark standard for the qualifying performance sub-measurements. The qualifying sub-measurements are the UNE-P (POTS), megabit resale , and ADSL qualified loop product disaggregation of OP-, OP-, OP-, MR-, MR-, MR-, and MR-8. If the aggregate monthly GLEG volume is greater than 100 , the provisions of this section shall not apply to the qualifying performance sub-measurement. 10.The determination of whether Qwest has met the parity or benchmark standards will be made using aggregate volumes of GLEGs participating in the PAP. In the event Qwest does not meet the applicable performance standards, a total payment to affected GLEGs will be determined in accordance with the high , medium low designation for each performance measurement (see Attachment 1) and described in section 8., except that GLEG aggregate volumes will be used. In the event the calculated total payment amount to GLEGs is less than $5 000, a minimum payment of $5 000 shall be made. The resulting total payment amount to GLEGs will be apportioned to the affected GLEGs based upon each GLEG's relative share of the number of total service misses. 10.At the six (6)-month reviews, Qwest will consider adding to the above list of qualifying performance sub-measurements new products disaggregation representing new modes of GLEG entry into developing markets. 11.Payment 11.Payments to GLEG, the State, or the Special Fund shall be made one month following the due date of the performance measurement report for the month for which payment is being made. Qwest will pay interest on any late payment and underpayment at the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal. On any overpayment, Qwest is allowed to offset future payments by the amount of the overpayment plus interest at the prime rate. Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended ExhibitK, November 30,2004 12- Exhibit K 11.Payment to CLEC shall be made via bill credits. Bill credits shall be identified on a summary format substantially similar to that distributed as a prototype to the CLECs and the Commissions. To the extent that a monthly payment owed to CLEC under this PAP exceeds the amount owed to Owest by CLEC on a monthly bill Owest will issue a check or wire transfer to CLEC in the amount of the overage. Payment to the State shall be made via check or wire transfer. 11.3 A Special Fund shall be created for the purpose of payment of an independent auditor and audit costs as specified in section 15.0 and payment of other expenses incurred by the participating Commissions in the regionaladministration of the PAP. 11.1 Owest shall establish the Special Fund as an interest bearing escrow account upon the first FCC section 271 approval of the PAP applicable to a participating state Commission. Owest shall be authorized to withhold and deposit into the Special Fund one-half of all Tier 2 payments. The cost of the escrow account will be paid for from account funds. 11.2 Commissions participating in the Special Fund shall appoint a person designated to administer and authorize disbursement of funds. All claims against the fund shall be presented to the Commissions' designates and shall be the responsibility of the participating Commissions. 11.3 Owest shall advance funds to meet initial claims against the Special Fund to the extent Tier 2 contributions are insufficient. Such funds shall not exceed $500,000 and shall be reduced appropriately in the event that at least six states in which the OPAP is in effect do not agree to participate in the Special Fund. Upon a determination by the participating Commissions that the Special Fund has become self-sustaining or is no longer required, Owest shall be allowed to recover any such advances plus interest at the rate that the escrow account would have earned. 11.3.4 Upon the execution of a memorandum of understanding with the Idaho Commission, Owest shall establish an Idaho Discretionary Fund as a separate interest bearing escrow account. Owest shall deposit into the Discretionary Fund the remaining balance of Tier 2 payments after disbursement of Tier 2 payments to the Special Fund pursuant to section 13.1. The Commission shall appoint a person designated to administer and authorize disbursements of funds from the Discretionary Fund. Disbursements from the Discretionary Fund shall be limited to competitively neutral Idaho telecommunications initiatives. The costs of the Discretionary Fund will paid for from the account's funds. 12.Cap on Tier 1 and Tier 2 Payments 12.There shall be a cap on the total payments made by Owest for a 12 month period beginning with the effective date of the PAP for the State of Idaho. The Owest Idaho SGAT Third Revised , Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30 2004 13- Exhibit K annual cap for the State of Idaho shall be 36% of ARMIS Net Return , recalculated each year based upon the prior year s Idaho ARMIS results , subject to any applicable adjustment permitted pursuant to section 12.2. Qwest shall submit to the Commission the calculation of each year s cap no later than 30 days after submission of ARMIS results to the FCC. CLEC agrees that this amount constitutes a maximum annual cap that shall apply to the aggregate total of Tier 1 liquidated damages including any such damages paid pursuant to this Agreement, any other interconnection agreement, or any other payments made for the same underlying activity or omission under any other contract, order or rule and Tier 2 assessments or payments made by Qwest for the same underlying activity or omission under any other contract, order or rule. 12.The 36% annual cap may be increased to 44% or decreased to 30% of ARMIS Net Return as follows: 12.1 An increase in the cap of a maximum of 4 percentage points at anyone time (i.e., first to 40 percent) shall occur upon order by the Commission if the cap has been exceeded for any consecutive period of 24 months by that same 4 percent or more, provided that: (a) the Commission has determined that the preponderance of the evidence shows Qwest could have remained beneath the cap through reasonable and prudent effort, and (b) the Commission has made that determination after having available to it on the record the results of audits and root cause analyses, and provided an opportunity for Qwest to be heard. 12.2 A decrease in the cap of a maximum of 4 percentage points at anyone time shall occur upon order by the Commission after performance for any consecutive period of 24 months in which total payments are 8 or more percentage points below the cap amount, provided that: (a) the Commission has determined that the preponderance of the evidence shows the performance results underlying those payments results from an adequate Qwest commitment to meeting its responsibilities to provide adequate wholesale service and to keeping open its local markets and (b) the Commission shall have made that determination after providing all interested parties an opportunity to be heard. 12.3 The provisions of 12.1 and 12.2 shall be in effect for the next 24 month period commencing with the end of the 24 month period upon which the Commission s order is based. 12.If the annual cap is reached, each CLEC shall, as of the end of the year, be entitled to receive the same percentage of its total calculated Tier 1 payments. order to preserve the operation of the annual cap, the percentage equalization shall take place as follows: 12.1 The amount by which any month'total year-to-date Tier 1 and Tier 2 payments exceeds the cumulative monthly cap (defined as 1I12'h of the annual cap times the cumulative number of months to date) shall be calculated and apportioned Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30 2004 14- Exhibit K between Tier 1 and Tier 2 according to the percentage that each bore of total payments for the year-to-date. The Tier 1 apportionment resulting of this calculation shall be known as the "Tracking Account" 12.2 The Tier 1 apportionment shall be debited against the monthly payment due to each CLEC, by applying to the year-to-date payments received by each the percentage necessary to generate the required total Tier 1 amount 12.3 The Tracking Amount shall be apportioned among all CLECs so as to provide each with payments equal in percentage of its total year to date Tier 1 paymentcalculations. 12.3.4 This calculation shall take place in the first month that the year-to-date total Tier 1 and Tier 2 payments are expected to exceed the cumulative monthly cap and for each month of that year thereafter. awest shall recover any debited amounts by reducing payments due to any CLEC for that month and any succeeding months, as necessary. 13.Limitations 13.The PAP shall not become available in the State unless and until awest receives effective section 271 authority from the FCC for that State. 13.awest will not be liable for Tier 1 payments to CLEC in an FCC approved state until the Commission has approved an interconnection agreement between CLEC and awestwhich adopts the provisions of this PAP. 13.awest shall not be obligated to make Tier 1 or Tier 2 payments for any measurement if and to the extent that non-conformance for that measurement was the result of any of the following: 1) with respect to performance measurements with a benchmark standard , a Force Majeure event as defined in section 5.7 of the SGAT. awest will provide notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event within 72 hours of the time awest learns of the event or within a reasonable time frame that awest should have learned of it; 2) an act or omission by a CLEC that is contrary to any of its obligations under its interconnection agreement with awest or under federal or state law; an act or omission by CLEC that is in bad faith. Examples of bad faith conduct include, but are not limited to: unreasonably holding service orders and/or applications , " dumping" orders or applications in unreasonably large batches dumping" orders or applications at or near the close of a business day, on a Friday evening or prior to a holiday, and failing to provide timely forecasts to awest for services or facilities when such forecasts are explicitly required by the SGA T; 3) problems associated with third-party systems or equipment, which could not have been avoided by awest in the exercise of reasonable diligence provided, however that this third party exclusion will not be raised in the State more than three times within a calendar year. If a Force Majeure event or other excusing event recognized Owest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 15- Exhibit K in this section merely suspends Owest's ability to timely perform an activity subject to a performance measurement that is an interval measure , the applicable time frame in which Qwest's compliance with the parity or benchmark criterion is measured will be extended on an hour-for-hour or day-for-day basis , as applicable, equal to the duration of the excusing event. 13.1 Owest will not be excused from Tier 1 or Tier 2 payments for any reason except as described in Section 13.0. Owest will have the burden of demonstrating that its non-conformance with the performance measurement was excused on one of the grounds described in this PAP. A party may petition the Commission to require Owestto deposit disputed payments into an escrow account when the requesting party can show cause, such as grounds provided in the Uniform Commercial Code for cases of commercial uncertainty. 13.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of section 13 of this QPAP, Owest shall not be excused for failing to provide such performance that Owest could reasonably have been expected to deliver assuming that it had designed , implemented , staffed provisioned , and otherwise provided for resources reasonably required to meet foreseeable volumes and patterns of demands upon its resources by CLECs. 13.4 Qwest's agreement to implement these enforcement terms, and specifically its agreement to pay any "liquidated damages" or "assessments" hereunder, will not be considered as an admission against interest or an admission of liability in any legal , regulatory, or other proceeding relating in whole or in part to the same performance. 13.4.1 CLEC may not use: 1) the existence of this enforcement plan; or 2) Owest's payment of Tier -1 "liquidated damages" or Tier 2 "assessments" as evidence that Owest has discriminated in the provision of any facilities or services under Sections 251 or 252 , or has violated any state or federal law or regulation. Qwest's conduct underlying its performance measures, however are not made inadmissible by its terms. 13.4.2 By accepting this performance remedy plan CLEC agrees that Owest's performance with respect to this remedy plan may not be used as an admission of liability or culpability for a violation of any state or federal law or regulation. (Nothing herein is intended to preclude Qwest from introducing evidence of any Tier 1 liquidated damages" under these provisions for the purpose of offsetting the payment against any other damages or payments a CLEC might recover.) The terms of this paragraph do not apply to any proceeding before the Commission or the FCC to determine whether Owest has met or continues to meet the requirements of section 271 of the Act. Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised , Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 16- Exhibit K 13.By incorporating these liquidated damages terms into the PAP , Qwest and CLEC accepting this PAP agree that proof of damages from any non-conforming performance measurement would be difficult to ascertain and , therefore , liquidated damages are a reasonable approximation of any contractual damages that may result from a non-conforming performance measurement. Qwest and CLEC further agree that Tier 1 payments. made pursuant to this PAP are not intended to be a penalty. The application of the assessments and damages provided for herein is not intended to foreclose other noncontractual legal and non-contractual regulatory claims and remedies that may be available to a CLEC. 13.This PAP contains a comprehensive set of performance measurements statistical methodologies, and payment mechanisms that are designed to function together, and only together, as an integrated whole. To elect the PAP, CLEC must adopt the PAP in its entirety, in its interconnection agreement with Qwest. By electing remedies under the PAP, CLEC waives any causes of action based on a contractual theory of liability, and any right of recovery under any other theory of liability (including but not limited to a state utility regulatory commission or Federal Communications Commission rule or order) to the extent such recovery is related to harm compensable under a contractual theory of liability (even though it is sought through a noncontractual claim , theory, or cause of action). 13. If for any reason a CLEC agreeing to this QPAP is awarded compensation for the same harm for which it received payment under the QPAP , the court or other adjudicatory body hearing such a claim may offset the damages resulting from such claim against payments made for the same harm. 13.Qwest shall not be liable for both Tier 2 payments under the PAP and assessments , sanctions , or other payments for the same underlying activity or omission pursuant to any Commission order or service quality rules. 13.Whenever a Qwest Tier 1 payment to an individual CLEC exceeds $3 million in a month, Qwest may commence a proceeding to demonstrate why it should not be required to pay any amount in excess of the $3 million. Upon timely commencement of the proceeding, Qwest must pay the balance of payments owed in excess of $3 million into escrow, to be held by a third-party pending the outcome of the proceeding. To invoke these escrow provisions , Qwest must file, not later than the due date of the Tier 1 payments , its application. Qwest will have the burden of proof to demonstrate why, under the circumstances, it would be unjust to require it to make the payments in excess of $3 million. If Qwest reports non-conforming performance to CLEC for three consecutive months on 20% or more of the measurements reported to CLEC and has incurred no more than $1 million in liability to CLEC , then Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 - 17- Exhibit K CLEC may commence a similar proceeding. In any such proceeding CLEC will have the burden of proof to demonstrate why, under the circumstances , justice requires Qwest to make payments in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to the terms of the PAP. The disputes identified in this section shall be resolved in a manner specified in the Dispute Resolution section of the SGA T with the CLEC. 14.Reporting 14.Upon receiving effective section 271 authority from the FCC for a state Qwest will provide CLEC that has an approved interconnection agreement with Qwest, a monthly report of Qwest's performance for the measurements identified in the PAP by the last day of the month following the month for which performance results are being reported. However, Qwest shall have a grace period of five business days , so that Qwest shall not be deemed out of compliance with its reporting obligations before the expiration of the five business day grace period. Qwest will collect, analyze, and report performance data for the measurements listed on Attachment 1 in accordance with the most recent version of the PIDs. Upon CLEC's request, data files of the CLEC's raw data , or any subset thereof, will be transmitted , without charge , to CLEC in a mutually acceptable format, protocol, and transmission medium. 14.Qwest will also provide the Commission a monthly report of aggregate CLEC performance results pursuant to the PAP by the last day of the month following the month for which performance results are being reported. However, Qwest shall have a grace period of five business days , so that Qwest shall not be deemed out of compliance with its reporting obligations before the expiration of the five business day grace period. Individual CLEC reports of participating CLECs will also be available to the Commission upon request. By accepting this PAP, CLEC consents to Qwest providing CLEC's report and raw data to the State Commission. Pursuant to the terms of an order of the Commission, Qwest may provide GLEe-specific data that relates to the PAP, provided that Qwest shall first initiate any procedures necessary to protect the confidentiality and to prevent the public release of the information pending any applicable Commission procedures and further provided that Qwest provides such notice as the Commission directs to the CLEC involved , in order to allow it to prosecute such procedures to their completion. Data files of participating CLEC raw data , or any subset thereof, will be transmitted, without charge, to the Commission in a mutually acceptable format, protocol, and transmission form. 14.In the event Qwest does not provide CLEC and the Commission with a monthly report by the last day of the month following the month for which performance results are being reported , Qwest will pay to the State a total of $500 for each business day for which performance reports are 6 to 10 business days past the due date; $1 000 for each business day for which performance reports are 11 to 15 Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revised , Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 - 18- Exhibit K business days past the due date; and $2 000 for each business day for which performance results are more than 15 business days past the due date. If reports are on time but are missing performance results, Qwest will pay to the State a total of one-fifth of the late report amount for each missing performance measurement subject to a cap of the full late report amount. These amounts represent the total payments for omitting performance measurements or missing any report deadlines rather than a payment per report. Prior to the date of a payment for late reports Qwest may file a request for a waiver of the payment, which states the reasons for the waiver. The Commission may grant the waiver, deny the waiver, or provide any other relief that may be appropriate. 14.4 To the extent that Qwest recalculates payments made under this PAP , such recalculation shall be limited to the preceding three years (measured from the later of the provision of a monthly credit statement or payment due date). Qwest shall retain sufficient records to demonstrate fully the basis for its calculations for long enough to meet this potential recalculation obligation. CLEC verification or recalculation efforts should be made reasonably contemporaneously with Qwest measurements. In any event, Qwest shall maintain the records in a readily useable format for one year. For the remaining two years, the records may be retained in archived format. Any payment adjustments shall be subject to the interest rate provisions of section 11. 15.Integrated Audit Programllnvestigations of Performance Results 15.Audits of the PAP shall be conducted in a two-year cycle under the auspices of the participating Commissions in accordance with a detailed audit plan developed by an independent auditor retained for a two-year period. The participating Commissions shall select the independent auditor with input from Qwest and CLECs. 15.1 The participating Commissions shall form an oversight committee of Commissioners who will choose the independent auditor and approve the audit plan. Any disputes as to the choice of auditor or the scope of the audit shall be resolved through a vote of the chairs of the participating commissions pursuant to Section 15.1.4. 15.2 The audit plan shall be conducted over two years. The audit plan will identify the specific performance measurements to be audited , the specific tests to be conducted , and the entity to conduct them. The audit plan will give priority to auditing the higher risk areas identified in the ass report. The two-year cycle will examine risks likely to exist across that period and the past history of testing, in order to determine what combination of high and more moderate areas of risk should be examined during the two-year cycle. The first year of a two-year cycle will concentrate on areas most likely to require follow-up in the second year. Owest Idaho SGAT Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 - 19- Exhibit K 15.3 The audit plan shall be coordinated with other audit plans that may be conducted by other state commissions so as to avoid duplication, shall not impede Qwest's ability to comply with the other provisions of the PAP and should be of a nature and scope that can be conducted in accordance with the reasonable course of Qwest's business operations. 15.1.4 Any dispute arising out of the audit plan , the conduct of the audit, or audit results shall be resolved by the oversight committee of Commissioners. Decisions of the oversight committee of Commissioners may be appealed to a committee of the chairs of the participating Commissions. 15.Qwest may make management processes more accurate or more efficient to perform without sacrificing accuracy. These changes are at Qwest's discretion but will be reported to the independent auditor in quarterly meetings in which the auditor may ask questions about changes made in the Qwest measurement regimen. The meetings , which will be limited to Qwest and the independent auditor, will permit an independent assessment of the materiality and propriety of any Qwest changes including, where necessary, testing of the change details by the independent auditor. The information gathered by the independent auditor may be the basis for reports bythe independent auditor to the participating Commissions and , where the Commissions deem it appropriate, to other participants. 15.In the event of a disagreement between Qwest and CLEC as to any issue regarding the accuracy or integrity of data collected, generated, and reported pursuant to the PAP, Qwest and the CLEC shall first consult with one another and attempt in good faith to resolve the issue. If an issue is not resolved within 45 days after a request for consultation , CLEC and Qwest may, upon a demonstration of good cause, (e., evidence of material errors or discrepancies) request an independent audit to be conducted, at the initiating party's expense. The independent auditor will assess the need for an audit based upon whether there exists a material deficiency in the data or whether there exists an issue not otherwise addressed by the audit plan for the current cycle. The dispute resolution provision of section 18.0 is available to any party questioning the independent auditor s decision to conduct or not conduct a CLEC requested audit and the audit findings , should such an audit be conducted. An audit may not proceed until dispute resolution is completed. Audit findings will include: (a) general applicability of findings and conclusions (i.e., relevance to CLECs or jurisdictions other than the ones causing test initiation), (b) magnitude of any payment adjustments required and , (c) whether cost responsibility should be shifted based upon the materiality and clarity of any Qwest non-conformance with measurement requirements (no pre-determined variance is appropriate, but should be based on the auditor s professional judgment). CLEC may not request an audit of data more than three years from' the later of the provision of a monthly credit statement or payment due date. Owest Idaho SGA T Third Revised, Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30, 2004 - 20- Exhibit K 15.4 Expenses for the audit of the PAP and any other related expenses, except that which may be assigned under section 15., shall be paid first from the Tier 2 funds in the Special Fund. For Idaho, the remainder of the audit expenses will bepaid by Qwest. 15.Qwest will investigate any second consecutive Tier 2 miss to determine the cause of the miss and to identify the action needed in order to meet the standard set forth in the performance measurements. To the extent an investigation determines that a CLEC was responsible in whole or in part for the Tier 2 misses, Qwest shall receive credit against future Tier 2 payments in an amount equal to the Tier 2 payments that should not have been made. The relevant portion of subsequent Tier 2 payments will not be owed until any responsible CLEC problems are corrected. For the purposes of this sub-section, Tier 1 performance measurements that have not been designated as Tier 2 will be aggregated and the aggregate results will be investigated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 16.Reviews 16. 1 Every six (6) months, beginning six months after the effective date of section 271 approval by the FCC for the state of Idaho , Qwest, CLECs, or the Idaho Public Utilities Commission may initiate a review of the performance measurements to determine whether measurements should be added , deleted, or modified; whether the applicable benchmark standards should be modified or replaced by parity standards; and whether to move a classification of a measurement to High , Medium or Low, Tier 1 or Tier 2. The criterion for reclassification of a measurement shall be whether the actual volume of data points was less or greater than anticipated. Criteria for review of performance measurements, other than for possible reclassification, shall be whether there exists an omission or failure to capture intended performance , and whether there is duplication of another measurement. Any disputes regarding adding, deleting, or modifying performance measurements shall be resolved pursuant to a proceeding before the Commission and subject to judicial review. No new performance measurements shall be added to this PAP that have not been subject to observation as diagnostic measurements for a period of 6 months. Any changes made at the six-month review pursuant to this section shall apply to and modify this agreement between Qwest and CLEC , subject to a stay, modification or reversal upon appeal or judicial review. 16.Notwithstanding section 16., if any agreements on adding, modifying or deleting performance measurements as permitted by section 16.1 are reached between Qwest and CLECs participating in an industry Regional Oversight Committee (ROC) PID administration forum, those agreements shall be incorporated into the QPAP and modify the agreement between CLEC and Qwest at any time those agreements are submitted to the Commission , whether before or after a six- month review. awest Idaho SGAT Third Revised , Fifth Amended Exhibit K, November 30,2004 - 21- Exhibit K 16.For the first twelve months that any changes made pursuant to paragraphs 16.1 or 16.1 are in effect, Qwest's liability for such changes shall be limited to 10% of the monthly payments that Qwest would have made absent the effect of such changes as a whole. This provision shall be referred as "the 10% payment collar. Such payment limitation shall be accomplished by factoring the payments resulting from the changes to ensure that such payments remain within 10% of the payments Qwest would have made absent such changes. 16.In the event that the Commission adds, modifies , or reclassifies a performance measurement that has not been agreed upon in the ROC PID administration forum process in 16., the 10% payment collar shall remain in effect unless removed by the Commission pursuant to this section. If, after a minimum of 6 months of payments to a CLEC, Qwest's payments have been limited by the 10% payment collar to 80% or less of what the total payments would have been absent the collar for the preceding 6-month period, the Commission may, upon motion by an affected CLEC, conduct a record proceeding to determine whether the 10% payment collar should be removed from any such performance measure. The Commission can prospectively remove the 10% collar for Tier 1 payments to affected CLEC(s) for any such performance measure upon a demonstration through a record proceeding and a Commission determination that the total payments to the CLEC(s) under the QPAP were inadequate to compensate CLEC(s) for actual harm incurred during the same period and upon a determination that such change is otherwise necessary and appropriate and in the public interest. 16.Two years after the effective date of the first FCC 271 approval of the PAP the participating Commissions may conduct a joint review by a independent third party to examine the continuing effectiveness of the PAP as a means of inducing compliant performance. This review shall not be used to open the PAP generally to amendment, but would serve to assist Commissions in determining existing conditions and reporting to the FCC on the continuing adequacy of the PAP to serve its intended functions. The expense of the reviews shall be paid from the Special Fund. 16.Qwest will make the PAP available for CLEC interconnection agreements until such time as Qwest eliminates its Section 272 affiliate. At that time , the Commission and Qwest shall review the appropriateness of the PAP and whether its continuation is necessary. However, in the event Qwest exits the interLATA market that State PAP shall be rescinded immediately. 17.Voluntary Performance Assurance Plan This PAP represents Qwest's voluntary offer to provide performance assurance.

PO-3 is limited to PO-3a-, PO-3b-, and PO-3c. b. PO-6 is included with PO-7 as two "families:" PO-6a/PO-7a and PO-6b/PO-7b. Measurements within each family share a single payment opportunity with only the measurements with the highest payment being paid. c. Low Volume Exception: In lieu of Section 2.4 for PO-, where GLEG order volumes for a given month are less than 17 in Phase 1 , less than 13 in Phase 2 , and less than 10 in Phase 3 and subsequent phases a benchmark standard of "no more than one order with PO-20 errors" is applied. Under this provision, no payment applies if there is only one order with errors. Stabilization Period: For each phase beginning with Phase 1 , there will be no more than a 3-month measurement stabilization period for all fields introduced in that phase. Performance results that include all such fields are not subject to payments during the measurement stabilization period. d. OP-4 is included with OP-6 as five "families:" OP-4a/OP-, OP-4b/OP-, OP-4c/OP-, OP-4d/OP- , and OP-4e/OP-5. Measurements within each family share a single payment opportunity with only the measurement with the highest payment being paid. e. Low volume treatment for OP-5b will apply if both (1) the GLEG volume of orders is less than or equal to 29 (the denominator of OP-5t) and (2) the number of orders with trouble in OP-5a is no more than one. When these two conditions are met, a standard of no more than one order with new service trouble applies. f. For purposes of the PAP , OP-6a and OP-6b will be combined and treated as one. The combined OP- breaks down to OP-1 (within MSA), OP-2(outside MSA), OP-3 (no dispatch), OP-4 (zone 1), and OP-5 (zone 2). g. Applicable only to xDSL-1 capable loops.

Flow-Through -The term used to describe whether a LSR electronically is passed from the OSS interface system to the ILEG legacy system to automatically create a service order. LSRs that do not flow through require manual intervention for the service order to be created in the ILEG legacy system. Interval Zone 1/Zone 2 - Interval Zone 1 areas are wire centers for which Qwest specifies shorter standard service intervals than for Interval Zone 2 areas. Installation - The activity performed to activate a service. Installation Troubles - A trouble, which is identified after service order activity and installation, has completed on a customer s line. It is likely attributable to the service activity (within a defined time period). Interconnection Trunks - A network facility that is used to interconnect two switches generally of different local exchange carriers Inward Activity - Refers to all orders for new or additional lines/circuits.

Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revision , Exhibit C May 24, 2002 Page 17 SGAT Exhibit D Date General Information Provided by Qwest: General Agreement: BAN Number(must be assigned before processing): REVISED QWEST RIGHT OF WAY, POLE ATTACHMENT, INNERDUCT OCCUPANCY GENERAL INFORMATION: EFFECTIVE 6/29/01 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this General Information document is to share information and provide or deny permission to attach and maintain CLEC's facilities ("Facilities ) to Qwest Corporation s ("Qwest") Poles, to place Facilities on or within Qwest's Innerduct (collectively Polesllnnerduct") and to obtain access to Qwest's private right of way ("ROW"), to the extent Qwest has the right to grant such access. This General Information is necessary to determine if Qwest can meet the needs of the CLEC's request but does not guarantee that physical space or access is currently available. Permission will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis on the terms and conditions set forth in the appropriate agreement pertaining to "Poles/lnnerduct". PROCESS.The Qwest process is designed to provide the CLEC the information so as to assist CLEC and Qwest to make Poles, Innerduct and ROW decisions in a cost-efficient manner. The Process has these distinct steps: Inquiry Review - Attachment 1.A (Database Search). The CLEC is requested to review this document and return Attachment 1.A along with two copies of a map and the nonrefundable Inquiry Fee, calculated in accordance with Attachment 1.A hereto. These fees are intended to cover Qwest's expenses associated with performing an internal record (database) review preparing a cost estimate for the required field survey, setting up an account, and determining time frames for completion of each task to meet the CLEC's Request. Be sure a BAN number is assigned by the Qwest Service Support Representative for each request before sending an Attachment 1.A. To request a BAN number send an email requesting one to: wsstca1Qwestcom Include your name, company, phone number, email address, city and state of our inquiry. A BAN number will be assigned to your inquiry and will be emailed to you along with other materials. As indicated on Attachment 1., a copy of the signed Attachment and maps of the desired route must be emailed to wsst~qwest.com while the fee must be sent to the Qwest CLEC Joint Use Manager with the original signed Attachment 1.A. The map should clearly show street names and highways along the entire route, and specific locations of entry and exit of the ROW/duct/pole system. Area Maps should be legible and identify all significant geographic characteristics including, but not limited to, the following: Qwest central offices, streets, cities, states, lakes rivers, mountains, etc. Qwest reserves the right to reject illegible or incomplete maps. If CLEC wishes to terminate at a particular manhole (such as a POI) it must be indicated on the maps. For ROW: Section , Range and Township, to the % section must also be provided. Qwest will complete the Inquiry review and prepare and return a Polesllnnerduct Verification/ROW Access Agreement Preparation Costs Quotation (Attachment 1.B) to the CLEC generally within ten (10) days or the applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation that governs this Agreement in the state in which Innerduct attachment is requested. In the case of poles Qwest will assign a Field Engineer and provide his/her name and phone number to the CLEC. The Field Engineer will check the local database and be available for a joint verification with the CLEC. The Poles/lnnerduct Verification/ROW Access Agreement Preparation Costs Quotation will be valid for thirty (30) calendar days from the date of quotation. The Inquiry step results only in the location and mapping of Qwest facilities and does not indicate whether space is available. This information is provided with Attachment 1. Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revision , Exhibit 0 May 24, 2002 Page 1 SGAT Exhibit D In the case of ROW, Owest will prepare and return a ROW information matrix and a copy of agreements listed in the ROW Matrix, within ten (10) days. The ROW Matrix will identify (a) the owner of the ROW as reflected in Owest's records, and (b) the nature of each ROW (Le., publicly recorded and non-recorded). The ROW information matrix will also indicate whether or not Owest has a copy of the ROW agreement in its possession. Owest makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of its records, and CLEC acknowledges that, to the extent that real property rights run with the land, the original granting party may not be the current owner of the property. In the case of MDUs, Owest will prepare and return an MDU information matrix, within ten (10) days, which will identify (a) the owner of the MDU as reflected in Owest's records, and (b) whether or not Owest has a copy of the agreement between Owest and the owner of a specific multi-dwelling unit that grants Owest access to the multi-dwelling unit in its possession. Owest makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of its records, and CLEC acknowledges that the original landowner may not be the current owner of the property. Owest will provide to CLEC a copy of agreements listed in the Matrices that have not been publicly recorded if CLEC obtains authorization for such disclosure from the third party owner(s) of the real property at issue by an executed version of the Consent to Disclosure form, which is included in Attachment 4. Owest will redact all dollar figures from copies of agreements listed in the Matrices that have not been publicly recorded that Owest provides to CLEC. Alternatively, in order to secure any agreement that has not been publicly recorded, a CLEC may provide a legally binding and satisfactory agreement to indemnify Owest in the event of any legal action arising out of Owest's provision of such agreement to CLEC. In that event, the CLEC shall not be required to execute the Consent to Disclosure form. If there is no other effective agreement (i.an Interconnection Agreement) between CLEC and Owest concerning access to Poles, Ducts and ROW, then Attachment 3 must be executed by both parties in order to start the Inquiry Review and in order for CLEC to obtain access to Poles, Ducts and/or ROW. Attachment 1.B (Verification) & Attachment 4 (Access AQreement Preparation). With respect to Poles and Innerduct, upon review and acceptance of signed Attachment 1.B and payment of the estimated verification costs by the CLEC, Owest will conduct facilities verification and provide the requested information which mayor may not include the following: a review of public and/or internal Owest right-of-ways records for restrictions, identification of additional rights-of-way required; a field survey and site investigation of the Innerduct, including the preparation of distances and drawings, to determine availability on existing Innerduct; identification of any make-ready costs required to be paid by the CLEC, if applicable, prior to installing its facilities. In the case of Poles, Attachment 1.B orders the field verification which may be done jointly. A copy of the signed Attachment 1.B should be emailed to wsst(g1qwestcom while the appropriate fees should be sent to the Owest-CLEC Joint Use Manager with the original signed Attachment 1.B. Upon completion of the verification, Attachment 2 will be sent to the CLEC by Owest With respect to ROW, upon review and acceptance of signed Attachment 1.B and payment of the ROW conveyance consideration, Owest will deliver to the CLEC an executed and acknowledged Access Agreement to the CLEC in the form attached hereto as Attachment 4 (the "Access Agreement"). In the event that the ROW in question was created by a publicly recorded document and Owest has a copy of such document in its files, a copy of the Right-of-Way Agreement, as Qwest Idaho SGA T Third Revision, Exhibit D May 24, 2002 Page 2 SGAT Exhibit D defined in the Access Agreement, will be attached to the Access Agreement and provided to the CLEC at the time of delivery of the Access Agreement. If the ROW was created by a document that is not publicly recorded, or if Owest does not have a copy of the Right-of-Way Agreement in its possession, the Access Agreement will not have a copy of the Right-of-Way Agreement attached. If the ROW was created by a non-publicly recorded document, but Owest does not have a copy of the Right-of-Way Agreement in its possession , the CLEC must obtain a copy of the Right-of-Way Agreement or other suitable documentation reasonably satisfactory to Owest to describe the real property involved and the underlying rights giving rise to the Access Agreement. Although Owest will provide the identity of the original grantor of the ROW, as reflected in Owest's records, the CLEC is responsible for determining the current owner of the property and obtaining the proper signature and acknowledgement to the Access Agreement. If Owest does not have a copy of the Right-of-Way Agreement in its records, it is the responsibility of the CLEC to obtain a copy of the Right-of-Way Agreement. If the ROW was created by a publicly recorded , document, the CLEC must record the Access Agreement (with the Right-of-Way Agreement attached) in the real property records of the county in which the property is located. If the ROW was created by a grant or agreement that is not publicly recorded, CLEC must provide Owest with a copy of the properly executed and acknowledged Access Agreement and, if applicable, properly executed Consent Regarding Disclosure form or letter of indemnification. Owest is required to respond to each Attachment 1.8. submitted by CLEC within 35 days of receiving the Attachment 1.8. In the event that Owest believes that circumstances require a longer duration to undertake the activities reasonably required to deny or approve a request, it may petition for relief before the Commission or under the escalation and dispute resolution procedures generally applicable under the interconnection agreement, if any, between Owest and CLEC. Poles/Duct Order Attachment 2 (Access). In the case of Poles and Innerduct, upon completion of the inquiry and verification work described in Section 2.2 above, Owest will provide the CLEC a Poles/lnnerduct Order (Attachment 2) containing annual recurring charges, estimated Make-ready costs. Upon receipt of the executed Attachment 2 Order form from the CLEC and applicable payment for the Make-Ready Fees identified, Owest will assign the CLEC's requested space; Owest will also commence the Make-ready work within 30 days following payment of the Make-Ready Fees. Owest will notify CLEC when Poles/lnnerduct are ready for attachment or placement of Facilities. A copy of the signed Attachment 2 form should be emailed to wsst(Q),gwestcom while the payment should go to the Joint Use Manager along with the original signed Attachment 2. NOTE: Make-ready work performed by Owest concerns labor only. For Poles it involves rearrangement to accommodate the new attachment. For Innerduct, it involves placing the standard three innerducts in the conduit to accommodate fiber cable where spare conduit exists. Segments without conduit space are considered "blocked". Owest will consider repair or clearing damaged facilities, but may not construct new facilities as part of Make-ready work. Construction work to place conduit or replace poles may be required where facilities are blocked. The CLEC may contract separately with a Owest-approved contractor to complete the construction provided a Owest inspector inspects the work during and after construction. If other parties benefit from construction, the costs may be divided among the beneficiaries. Construction costs are not included in Attachment 2. The CLEC is not encouraged to sign the Poles/lnnerduct Order (Attachment 2) until provisions have been made for construction. Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revision, Exhibit D May 24, 2002 Page 3 SGAT Exhibit D 2.4 Provision of ROW/Poles/lnnerduct.Owest agrees to issue to GLEG for any lawful telecommunications purpose, a nonexclusive, revocable Order authorizing GLEG to install maintain, rearrange, transfer, and remove at its sole expense its Facilities on Polesllnnerduct to the extent owned or controlled by Owest. Owest provides access to Polesllnnerduct/ROW in accordance with the applicable federal, state , or local law, rule, or regulation, incorporated herein by this reference, and said body of law, which governs this Agreement in the state in which Poles/lnnerduct is provided. Any and all rights granted to GLEG shall be subject to and subordinate to any future federal, state, and/or local requirements. Nothing in this General Information shall be construed to require or compel Owest to construct, install , modify, or place any Poles/lnnerduct or other facility for use by the GLEG. The costs included in the Poles/lnnerduct Verification Fee are used to cover the costs incurred by Owest in determining if Polesllnnerduct space is available to meet the GLEG's request; however the GLEG must agree and will be responsible for payment of the actual costs incurred if such costs exceed the estimate. If the actual costs are less than the estimate, an appropriate credit can be provided upon request. If Owest denies access, Owest shall do so in writing, specifying the reasons for denial within 45 days of the initial inquiry. Likewise, the fees included in the ROW processing costs quotation are used to cover the costs incurred by Owest in searching its databases and preparing the Access Agreement. In the event that complications arise with respect to preparing the Access Agreement or any other aspect of conveying access to Owest's ROW, the GLEG agrees to be responsible for payment of the actual costs incurred if such costs exceed the standard fees; actual costs shall include, without limitation, personnel time, including attorney time. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 1. Other than those claims over which a federal or state regulatory agency has exclusive jurisdiction, all claims, regardless of legal theory, whenever brought and whether between the parties or between one of the parties to this Agreement and the employees, agents or affiliated businesses of the other party, shall be resolved by arbitration. A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law and knowledgeable about telecommunications law shall conduct the arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") unless otherwise provided herein. The arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with AAA procedures from a list of qualified people maintained by AAA. The arbitration shall be conducted in the regional AAA office closest to where the claim arose. 2. All expedited procedures prescribed by the AAA shall apply. The arbitrator s decision shall be final and binding and judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 3. Other than the determination of those claims over which a regulatory agency has exclusive jurisdiction , federal law (including the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U. Sections 1-16) shall govern and control with respect to any issue relating to the validity of this Agreement to arbitrate and the arbitrability of the claims. 4. If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting Claims subject to arbitration, and another party successfully stays such action and/or compels arbitration of such claims, the party filing the action shall pay the other party s costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration , including reasonable attorney s fees.

Should Qwest, under the provisions of this Agreement, remove CLEC'Facilities from the Polesllnnerduct covered by any Order (or otherwise), Qwest will deliver the Facilities removed upon payment by CLEC of the cost of removal , storage and delivery, and all other amounts due Qwest. If payment is not received by Qwest within thirty (30) days, CLEC will be deemed to have abandoned such facilities, and Qwest may dispose of said facilities as it determines to be appropriate. If Qwest must dispose of said facilities, such action will not relieve CLEC of any other financial responsibility associated with such removal as provided herein. If CLEC removes its Facilities from Polesllnnerduct for reasons other than repair or maintenance purposes, the CLEC shall have no right to replace such facilities on the Polesllnnerduct until such time as all outstanding charges due to Qwest for previous occupancy have been paid in full.

Idaho SGAT Third Revision, Exhibit E May 24, 2002 Page 6 EXHIBIT F - SPECIAL REQUEST PROCESS The Special Request Process shall be used for the following requests: Requesting specific product feature(s) be made available by Qwest that are currently available in a switch, but which are not activated. Requesting specific product feature(s) be made available by Qwest that are not currently available in a switch, but which are available from the switch vendor Requesting a combination of Unbundled Network Elements that is a combination not currently offered by Qwest as a standard product and: that is made up of UNEs that are defined by the FCC or the Commission as a network element to which Qwest is obligated to provide unbundled access and; that is made up of UNEs that are ordinarily combined in the Qwest network. 1.4 Requesting an Unbundled Network Element that has been defined by the FCC or the State Commission as a network element to which Qwest is obligated to provide unbundled access, but for which Qwest has not created a standard product, including, but not limited to, OC-192 (and such higher bandwidths that may exist) UDIT, EEL between OC-3 and OC-192 and new varieties of subloops.2. Any request that requires an analysis of Technical Feasibility shall be treated as a Bona Fide Request (BFR), and will follow the BFR Process set forth in this Agreement. If it is determined that a request should have been submitted through the BFR process, Qwest will consider the BFR time frame to have started upon receipt of the original Special Request application form.3. A Special Request shall be submitted in writing and on the appropriate Qwest form which is located on Qwest's website.4. Qwest shall acknowledge receipt of the Special Request within two (2) business days of receipt.5. Qwest shall respond with an analysis, including costs and timeframes, within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Special Request. In the case of UNE Combinations, the analysis shall include whether the requested combination is a combination of network elements that are ordinarily combined in the Qwest network. If the request is for a combination of network elements that are not ordinarily combined in the Qwest network, the analysis shall indicate to CLEC that it should use the BFR process if CLEC elects to pursue its request.6. Upon request, Qwest shall provide CLEC with Qwest's supporting cost data and/or studies for Unbundled Network Elements that CLEC wishes to order within seven (7) business days, except where Qwest cannot obtain a release from its vendors within seven (7) business days, in which case Qwest will make the data available as soon as Qwest receives the vendor release. Such cost data shall be treated as Confidential Information , if requested by Qwest under the non-disclosure sections of this Agreement.

Such information must include specific references to regulatory or court orders, legislation or industry guidelines as well as dates, docket or case number, page or paragraph numbers and the mandatory or recommended implementation date if any. If regulatory CR is implemented by manual process and later it is determined that change in circumstance warrants mechanized solution, the CR originator must provide the evidence of the change in circumstance, such as an estimated volume increase or changes in technical feasibility. Qwest or any CLEC may submit Regulatory and Industry Guideline CRs. Qwest will send CLECs notice when it posts Regulatory or Industry Guideline CRs to the Web and identify when comments are due as described below. Regulatory and Industry Guideline CRs will also be identified in the CMP Systems Monthly Meeting Distribution Package. Not later than business days prior to the Systems CMP Monthly meeting, any party objecting to the classification of such CR as Regulatory or Industry Guideline must submit statement documenting reasons why the objecting party does not agree that the CR should be classified as Regulatory or Industry Guideline change. Regulatory and Industry Guideline CRs may not be presented as walk-on items. If Qwest or any CLEC has objected to the classification of a CR as Regulatory or Industry Guideline, that CR will be discussed at the next monthly Change Management Meeting. At that meeting, Qwest and the CLECs will attempt to agree that the CR is Regulatory or Industry Guideline. At that meeting, if Qwest or any CLEC does not agree that the CR is Regulatory Industry Guideline, the CR will be treated as non-Regulatory, non-Industry Guideline CR and prioritized with the GLEe-originated and Qwest-originated CRs, unless and until the CR is declared to be Regulatory or Industry Guideline through dispute resolution. Final determination of CR type will be made by the CLEC and Qwest designated representatives at that monthly meeting, and documented in the meeting minutes. Implementation Plan for Regulatory CRs If agreement is reached at the monthly CMP meeting that CR constitutes Regulatory Change, then at that same meeting, Qwest will propose an implementation plan for compliance with regulatory mandate. The proposal will include the criteria that Qwest used to determine Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revision, Exhibit G May 24 2002 Page 9 Exhibit G Change Management Process (CMP) For Local Service the proposed method of implementation, including estimated volume, an estimated level of effort for implementing manual solution, and an estimated level of effort for implementing mechanized solution. Qwest will express the estimated levels of effort for these purposes in terms of a range of hours required to implement. If relied upon, the criteria may also include cost, estimated volume, number of CLECs, technical feasibility, parity with retail, or effectiveness/feasibility of manual process. If the difference between the midpoint of each range of the estimated levels of effort for implementing the manual and mechanized solutions is less than 10% of the larger number, and Qwest did not rely upon other criteria in determining the proposed method of implementation then the decision regarding whether to implement the manual or mechanized solution will be determined by the desires of the majority of the parties present at the monthly meeting where the implementation plan is presented. For example, if Qwest did not rely on other criteria, this provision applies where the midpoint of the level of effort for the mechanized solution is 2000 hours and the midpoint of the level of effort for the manual solution is 2200 hours, because the difference is 200 hours, which is less than 10% of 2200, or 220. After the implementation plan has been discussed at that meeting, Qwest will request that representative of each CLEC and Qwest indicate their preference for the manual or the mechanized solution, e., by show raised hands. The determination will be made by the majority of parties that express preference. The results will be reflected in the meeting minutes. If Qwest is unable to fully implement mechanized solution in the first release that occurs after the CMP participants agree that change has been mandated, Qwest's implementation plan for the mechanized solution may include the short-term implementation of a manual work-around until the mechanized solution can be implemented. In that situation, the CR to implement the mechanized change will be treated as a Regulatory Change, notwithstanding the fact that manual work-around is required for some interim period, and Qwest will continue to work that Regulatory CR until the mechanized solution is implemented. Qwest's implementation plan for manual solution may include plan to implement mechanized solution when and if estimated volume for the functionality justifies implementation of a mechanized solution. In that situation subsequent CR to implement the mechanized change must be submitted when estimated volume justifies implementation of the mechanized solution and will be treated as a Regulatory Change only if the CLECs and Qwest agree to such treatment. If the parties do not agree to treat such CR as a Regulatory Change, it will be treated as a non-Regulatory Change. CLECs and Qwest will attempt to reach agreement on the implementation plan at the monthly CMP meeting at which the proposed implementation is presented. If any CLEC objects to the proposed implementation plan because it disagrees with Qwest' assessment of the estimated volume, the CLEC must submit information to Qwest demonstrating that Qwest's volume estimate should be revised. The CLEC shall submit such information to Qwest within business days after the monthly meeting. Qwest shall consider If necessary, CLEC may indicate that such infonnation is confidential by marking each page with the word "Confidential. If Qwest receives infonnation pursuant to this provision that marked "Confidential", Qwest will not disclose such confidential infonnation to any other CLEC Qwest Idaho SGAT Third Revision , Exhibit G May 24 2002 Page 10 Exhibit G Change Management Process (CMP) For Local Service all such information submitted and determine whether revision of its volume estimate is appropriate. Within 10 business days after the monthly meeting, Qwest will notify GLEGs via the maHout process whether it has determined that revision of the volume estimate is appropriate. If it has revised the volume estimate, Qwest will include the revised volume estimate and will state whether the revised volume estimate results in change to Qwest' estimated levels of effort to implement manual and/or mechanized solution. If the volume estimate is revised and the revision results in change to Qwest's estimated levels of effort to implement manual and/or mechanized solution and/or Qwest's proposed implementation plan Qwest will include the revised estimated levels of effort and the revised implementation plan in the notification. This implementation plan will be presented at the next monthly GMP meeting. GLEGs and Qwest will attempt to reach agreement on the implementation plan at the monthly GMP meeting at which the revised implementation is presented. The final determination regarding the implementation plan will be made by Qwest with input from GLEGs, except where the estimated levels of effort for implementing the manual and mechanized solutions are not significantly different and the decision regarding whether to implement manual or mechanized solution is determined by the GLEGs, as set forth above. If no GLEGs object to the proposed plan at the monthly meeting where it is first presented, final determinations will be made at that meeting and documented in the meeting minutes. Qwest will present the proposed plan at the next monthly meeting only if all of the following apply: one or more GLEGs object to the proposed plan at the monthly meeting where it is first presented one or more GLEGs submit additional volume estimate information as set forth above, and the additional information submitted by GLEGs results in revision to the implementation plan. If all of the above apply, resulting in revised implementation plan, then Qwest will present the revised implementation plan at the next monthly meeting. Final determinations regarding the implementation plan will be made at that monthly meeting and documented in the meeting minutes. If any GLEG does not agree with the final implementation plan, the objecting GLEG may initiate dispute resolution under the GMP Dispute Resolution process. ~ijl1J1iIw:9J'f~~'~g,~IDJf~I1Hyfli!il~il~!ro.gwJ~~~II",~~t~ IIJ:i~I~I~~~~~I'~~IIf,~~~~~~r~:~t!~t(~1~QmRt;i~t~~111\m~i!~wl!ii~J~!:l!t but Qwest may use such confidential information to revise its demand estimate, if appropriate and may disclose its revised demand estimate.
