in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency ofwhich is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
Section - DEFINITIONS
Collocation - Point of Interconnection" or "POI" is the point outside Qwest's Wire Centerwhere CLEC's fiber facility meets Qwest's Fiber Entrance Facility, except where CLEC uses an
Express Fiber Entrance Facility. In either case , Qwest will , extend or run the Fiber Entrance
Facility to CLEC's Collocation Space.
Day" means calendar days unless otherwise specified.
Demarcation Point" means the point where Qwest owned or controlled facilities cease, and
CLEC, End User Customer, premises owner or landlord ownership or control of facilities begin.
Due Date" means the specific date on which the requested s\3rvice is to be available to theCLEC or to CLEC's End User Customer, as applicable.
Firm Order Confirmation" or "FOC" means the notice Qwest provides to CLEC to confirm that
Amendment to DEN-970311-4414
, ,
the CLEC Local Service Order (LSR) has been received and has been successfully processed.
The FOC confirms the schedule of dates committed to by Qvvest for the Provisioning of theservice requested.
Premises" refers to Qwest's Central Offices and Serving Wire Centers; all buildings or similar
structures owned , leased, or otherwise controlled by Qwest that house its network facilities; all
structures that house Qwest facilities on public rights-of-way, including but not limited to vaults
containing Loop Concentrators or similar structures; and all land owned , leased , or otherwise
controlled by Qwest that is adjacent to these Central Offices , Wire Centers, buildings and
structures.
Product Catalog" or "PCA T" is a Qwest document that provides information needed to request
services available under this Agreement. Qwest agrees thatGLEC shall not be held to the
requirements of the PCA T. The PCA is available on Qwest's Web site:
http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/pcaUwireless. htm
Ready for Service" or "RFS" - A Collocation job is considered to be Ready for Service when
Qwest has completed all operational work in accordance with GLEC Application and makes
functional space available to CLEC. Such work includes, but is not necessarily limited to: DC
power (fuses available, Battery Distribution Fuse Board (BDFB) is powered, and cables
between CLEC and power are terminated), cage enclosures, primary AC outlet, cable racking,and circuit terminations (e., fiber jumpers are placed be,tween the outside plant fiber
distribution panel and the Central Office fiber distribution panel'serving CLEC) and APOT/CFA
are complete , telephone service, and other services and facilities ordered by CLEC for
Provisioning by the RFS date.
Technically Feasible" Interconnection , access to Unbundled'f';-Jetwork Elements , Collocation
and other methods of achieving Interconnection or access to u~pundled Network Elements at a
point in the network shall be deemed Technically Feasible ,~RSelJt technical or operationalconcerns that prevent the fulfillment of a request by a TeJec:Qmmunications Carrier for such
Interconnection , access, or methods. A determination of technical feasibility does not include
consideration of economic, accounting, Billing, space, or site concerns, except that space and
site concerns may be considered in circumstances where tber~ is no possibility of expanding
the space available. The fact that an incumbent LEC mustrnodify its facilities or equipment to
respond to such request does not determine whether satisfying such request is Technically
Feasible. An incumbent LEC that claims that it cannot satisfy such request because of adverse
network reliability impacts must prove to the Commission by clear and convincing evidence that
such Interconnection, access, or methods would result in specific and significant adversenetwork reliability impacts.
Unbundled Network Element" is a Network Element that has been defined by the FCC or the
Commission as a Network Element to which Qwest is obligated to provide unbundled access , orfor which unbundled access is provided under this Agreement.

Section 3.0 - COLLOCATION
Description
Collocation allows for the placing of equip htby CLEC at Qwest's Premiseswhere Technically Feasible , that is necessary for accessing l.)nbundled Network Elements(UNEs), ancillary servic~s or Interconnection. Collocationinciud~s the leasing to CLEC ofphysical space in Qwest Premises, as well as the resources Q~cessary for the operation and
economical use of collocated equipment, such as the u eby CLEC of power; heating,ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); and cabling in Qwest's Premises. Collocation also
allows CLEC to access Interconnection Distribution Frames (IGPF) for the purpose of accessing
and combining Unbundled Network Elements and accessin!:f:ancillary services. There arecurrently eight (8) standard types of Collocation available pursuant to this Agreement - VirtualCaged Physical, Shared Caged Physical , Cage less PhYj)ical, Interconnection DistributionFrame, Adjacent Collocation Common Area Splitter Collocation, and Remote Collocation.Other types of Collocation may be requested through the BFR' process. In addition , whereQwest may offer a new form of Collocation, CLEC may order that form as soon as it becomes
available and under the terms and conditions pursuant to whicb,Qwest offers it. The terms andconditions of any such offering by Qwest shall conform as nearly as circumstances allow to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing in this AgreelTlent shall be construed aslimiting the ability to retroactively apply any changes to such terms and conditions as may be
negotiated by the Parties or ordered by the state Commission or any other competent authority.
Virtual Collocation -- A Virtual Collocation arrangement requires CLEC to
purchase and deliver to Qwest CLEC's own equipment for Qwest to install , repair, andmaintain in Qwest's Premises. CLEC does not ha'iie physical access to its virtuallycollocated equipment in the Qwest Premises.
AmendmenttoDEN-970311-4414
, ,
Caged Physical Collocation -- allowsQ~EC to lease caged floor space
for placement of its equipment within Qwest's Premises for the purpose
interconnecting with Qwest Finished Services or accessing unbundled elements. CLEC
is responsible for the procurement, installation and ,on-going maintenance of its
equipment as well as the cross connections required within the cage.
Cage less Physical Collocation -- is a noh-caged area within a QwestPremises. In Wire Centers, space will be made;,iavailable in single frame bay
increments. In Wire Centers , the current minimum square footage is nine (9) square feet
per bay, however, if smaller bays are or become, available, Qwest will reduce the
minimum square footage accordingly. Space will be provided utilizing industry standard
equipment bay configurations in which CLEC can place and maintain its own equipment.
CLEC is responsible for the procurement, installation,and on-going maintenance of its
equipment as well as the cross connections required within CLEC's leased Collocationspace. CLEC may elect to share its Cage less ColiacatiQI:1 space (e.g. sublease a shelf
to another CLEC), however, the CLEC of record is solely responsible for ordering,
Provisioning, repairing, maintaining, and Billing for equipment, cross-connects, and
services in its Collocation space.1.4 Shared Caged Physical Collocation -- allows two (2) or more CLECs to
share or sublease a single Collocation enclosure. Under Shared Physical Collocation
one (1) CLEC obtains a Caged Physical Collocation arrangement from Qwest pursuant
to this Agreement or an approved Interconnection ~i~ireement, and another CLEC
pursuant to the terms of its Agreement or approved'lh~erconnection agreement, may
share use of that space, in accordance to terms and conditions of a sublease agreement
between the two (2) CLECs. Shared Collocation may' ~I~:O be established through joint
Application by CLECs in which Qwest will have a separate 'Billing relationship with each
applicant and will look to each collocating CLEC for pa,y(1lemt of its proportionate share of
the charges relating to the Collocation space. Qwest)'1!ill , prorate the charge for site
conditioning and preparation undertaken by Qwest ,t~):~9nstruct the shared Collocationcage or condition the space for Collocation use, regardless of how many Carriers
actually collocate in that cage, by determining the to~ar,charge for site preparation andallocating that charge to a collocating CLEC (andbiUeq directly to each such CLEC)
based on the percentage of the total space utilized by !~~t CLEC as per the Collocation
Application. Qwest shall not place unreasonable -r~~trictions on CLEC's use of a
Collocation cage, such as limiting CLEC's ability to contract with other CLECs to share
CLEC's Collocation cage in a sublease-type arrangement In addition , if two (2) or more
CLECs who have Interconnection agreements with Owest utilize a shared Collocation
arrangement , Qwest shall permit each CLEC to order UNEs to and provision service
from that shared Collocation space, regardless of which CLEC was the original
collocator, directly from Qwest. Qwest shall make Shared Collocation space available in
single-bay increments or their equivalent.
; "
Interconnection Distribution Frame (ICDffColiocation -- is offered for the
purpose of facilitating CLEC's combining of UnbundledN,etwork Elements and ancillary
services. UnderlCDF Collocation, CLEC need not collocate equipment in the Qwest
Wire Center. With ICDF Collocation, CLEC will have access to the Qwest Wire Center
and an ICDF to combine UNEs and ancillary services.)he ICDF connects through tie
cables to various points within the Wire Center (e.MDF, COSMICTM or DSX, etc.
providing CLEC with access to UNEs and ancillary se~f~~s.
" ,
The ICDF is a distribution frame:~hared by multiple providers. If
CLEC desires a dedicated distribution fram~!for the purpose of facilitating
CLEC's combination of UNEs and ancillary se'wr6es , CLEC may do so through
the placement of a GLEe-owned cross conhec~ion device collocated in the
Amendment to DEN-970311-4414
, .
Qwest Wire Center through either Caged or O~g~le~S Physical Collocation.
Adjacent Collocation - is available intho,se instances where space is
legitimately exhausted in a particular Qwest Premises to accommodate Physical
Collocation. Qwest shall make space available in adjacent controlled environmental
vaults, controlled environmental huts , or similar structures to the extent Technically
Feasible. Qwest shall permit CLEC to construct or otherwise procure such an adjacent
structure on property owned , leased or otherwise controlled by Qwest, subject only to
applicable OSHA, EPA, federal , state, and local safety and maintenance requirements.
Such adjacent structure shall be in accordance with Qwest's design and space planning
for the site. CLEC may propose the design for the adjaGent structure, subject to Qwest's
approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Qwest must
provide power and physical Collocation services and facilities, subject to the same
nondiscrimination requirements as applicable to any ,other physical Collocation
arrangement. Qwest must permit CLEC to place its own-equipment, including, but not
limited to, copper cables, coaxial cables , fiber cables, and Telecommunications
Equipment, in adjacent facilities constructed by Qwest, byCLEC itself, or a third party.
, '
Common Area Splitter Collocation - SeeSection 9.4 for a description.
Remote Collocation - allows CLEC toc;ollocate equipment in or adjacent
to a Qwest Remote Premises. The terms for Remote J;Ollocation are set forth more fullyin Section 3.7 and 3.4.6. '
With respect to Cross Conf!~9iions for access to Subloop
elements in multi-tenant environments (MTE) a,ppfield connection points (FCP),
the provisions concerning Subloop access andiHtervals are contained in Section
3. This type of access and Cross Connection is not Collocation.
Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions - All Collocation
Qwest shall provide Collocation on ratesrterrns and conditions that are
just, reasonable and non-discriminatory. In addition , Qwest shall provide Collocation in
accordance with all applicable federal and state laws. "'o
Collocation of Switching Equipment.' '. CLEC may collocate any~~~:~;t that is necessary for Interconnection ~~,access to Unbundled Network
Digital Subscriber Line Access 'Multiplexers (DSLAMS) alwaysmeet this legal standard. "
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or packet switching also
meets this legal standard when used for Interconn~ction or access to Unbundled
Network Elements for purposes of providing adyanced services such as xDSL.
Equipment used predominantly to support DSLAMs and A TMs , such as routers
and concentrators , as well as testing and netWork. management equipment alsomeet this legal standard. Before any equipment that includes switching
functionality is installed , CLEC must provide a written inventory to Qwest of allswitching equipment and how it will be used for Interconnection or access to
Unbundleq Network Elements. Once CLECestablishes that it will use a certain
type of equipment for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements
Qwest will allow future Collocations of simil~r;.~quipmeht without requesting a
AmendmenttoDEN-970311-4414 5 ';"'o';-
written justification unless and until Qwest can ,establish to the state Commission
that such equipment is not intended for Interconnection or access to Unbundled
Network Elements. However, Qwest will cornpletethe Collocation within the
appropriate interval unless granted relief by the Cqmmission.
Remote Switching Units (RSUs) also meet this legal standard
when used for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements for
purposes of providing local Exchange Service Int~rconnection.2.4 Except as provided for in Sections 3.1.2.1 through 3.
above, CLEC may not collocate equipment, that is not necessary for
Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements.
CLEC must identify what transmission apd cross connection equipment
will be installed and the vendor technical specification~ Qt~uch equipment so that Qwest
may verify the appropriate power, floor loading, heatrelease , environmental particulate
level , HVAC, and tie cables to CLEC-provided CrossCol.lriection device.1.4 Demarcation points for Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs) and
ancillary services. The Demarcation Point for Unbundled Network Elements and
ancillary services is that physical point where Qwest shall terminate its Unbundled
Network Elements and ancillary services for access by CLEC. There are two (2)
standard Demarcation Points where Unbundled Network Elements and ancillary services
may be delivered to CLEC. CLEC shall specify its q~gice of standard Demarcation
Points for its access to UNEs and ancillary services. priei'available Demarcation Point is
at CLEC-provided cross connection equipment in CLEC's Physical or Virtual Collocationspace. Alternatively, the Demarcation Point can be at an Interconnection Distribution
Frame (ICDF) or may be established at a location jointly'pgreed to by CLEC and Qwest.
To the extent CLEC selects a Demarcation Point outside, of its collocated space, CLEC
shall provide and Qwest shall install the tie cables fro in 'dLEC's collocated equipment to
the Demarcation Point. Alternatively, Qwest shall proyiqe and install these tie cables, at
CLEC's expense.
Qwest will provide a connection be~e~~' Unbundled Network Elements
and ancillary services and a Demarcation Point. Such (:c;mnection is an Interconnection
Tie Pair (ITP). The Demarcation Point shall be: .
' ".' ",, , '" '
a) at CLEC-provided Cross Connection e,quipment located in CLEC's Virtual
or Physical Collocation space; or
b) if CLEC elects to use ICDF Collocation , anhe Interconnection Distribution
Frame (ICDF); orc) if CLEC elects to use an ICDF in association with Virtual or Physical
Collocation , at the ICDF;
! ,
d) at a direct connection point of terrTIinatiC?n as described in Section
11.2; or
, "
at another Demarcation Point mutually-a~~eed to by the Parties.
CLEC may purchase Qwest's finishecfPrivate Line or Switched Access
Services via applicable Tariff terms and conditions. These services will be terminated atthe Demarcation Point.

'f-
CLEC must lease space for the placement of CLE:C's equipment within Qwest's
Premises. Qwest will provide the structure that is nece$sary in support of Collocation
including physical space, a cage (for Caged Phy!)ical Collocation), required cabling
between equipment and other associated hardware.
' .
All equipment shall meet and be installed in accordance with Network
Equipment Building System (NEBS) Level 1 safety st~ndards. Qwest shall provide
standard Premises alarming pursuant to Qwest TechnIcal Publication 77385. Qwest
shall not impose safety or engineering requirements on CLEC that are more stringent
than the safety or engineering requirements Qwest imposes on its own equipment
located on its Premises.
Space Availability Report -- Upon reque~t by CLEC , Qwest will submit to
a requesting CLEC within ten (10) calendar Days of CLEC's request, a report for each
requested Premises, that includes:
available Collocation space in a particular Qwest Premises;
number of collocators;
: ~,
any modifications in the use of the space since the last report;
d) measures that Qwest is taking to m~~~:additional space available forCollocation; "
Whether sufficient power is available to meet the specific CLEC request;
Number of CLECs in queue at the Prerrii~es, if any; and
Whether the Wire Center is equipped witfrb's3 capability.
h) The number and description of Qwest and its Affiliates and CLEC
reservations of space.
A Space Availability Report Chart;)ein Exhibit A will apply to
each Space Availability Report requested bY'CLEC and shall apply on per
Premises basis.
Inventory Report - Remote'Premises. The locations of the
Remote Premises (e., Feeder Distribution Interfaces
, "
FDI") and the Customer
addresses served by each Remote Premises are available to CLECs through the
Raw Loop Data Tool. Remote Premises with Digital Loop Carrier and Pair Gain
equipment will be provided on the web site in the 'ICONN database. (ICONN is
available through the Qwest web site located athttp:/Ivvww.qwestcom/iconn.). IfCLEC is unable to determine the information it seeks regarding Remote
Premises after using such database tools, Qwestwill provide CLEC with a report
that contains the information. The Parties agree that a charge may apply to such
report, based on time and material , unless the database information is inaccurate
or unusable for the Remote Premises then nO c;harge would apply. In additionCLEC can request a copy of Qwest's distribution area map associated with the
Remote Premises, with a charge for time and material.10 Collocation is offered on a first-come , first-served basis. Requests for
Collocation may be denied due to the legitimate lack of sufficient space in a QwestPremises for placement of CLEC's equipment If Qwest determines that the amount ofspace requested by CLEC for Caged Physical Colloca~i9n is not available, but a lesser

amount of space is available, that lesser amount of space will be offered to CLEC for
Caged Physical Collocation. Alternatively, CLEC will be offered Cage less Physical
Collocation (single frame bay increments), or Virtual Collocation as an alternative to
Caged Physical Collocation. In the event the original Collbcation request is not available
due to lack of sufficient space, and CLEC did not specify an alternative form of
Collocation on the original order form, CLEC will be required to submit a new order for
CLEC's preferred alternative Collocation arrangement. , If CLEC identifies alternate
choices for Collocation on its original Collocation reqIJest, Owest will determine the
feasibility of the next preferred option in the event CLEq's first choice is not available.
To the extent possible, Owest shall make contiguous $pace available to CLEC when it
seeks to expand its existing Collocation space. Where adjoining space is not available
Owest will engineer a route for CLEC to provide faCilrties between the non-adjoining
CLEC Collocation spaces as part of the Collocation order. When planning renovations
of existing facilities or constructing or leasing new facilities, Owest shall take into
account projected demand for Collocation of equipment. '
10.Space Denial Queue - Owes! will maintain a list of denied
Collocation requests, in order of the date of receipt '(Space Denial Queue), for
each Premises where Owest has exhausted Collocation space. A separate
queue will be maintained for each Premises. when space becomes available in
a Premises in which a queue has developed, Owest will inform CLECs in the
queue that space for Collocation has become available. If there is insufficient
space to accommodate all CLECs in queue, Owes! shall notify CLECs of the
availability of space in accordance with CLEC's position in the queue. CLEC
must respond within ten (10) calendar Days of receipt of notification from Owest
with a new Collocation Application. If CLEC 'does pot provide a Collocation
Application within ten (10) calendar Days of receipt of notification , or if CLECresponds that it no longer requires the Collocation space CLEC shall be
removed from the queue and the available space shall be offered to the next
CLEC in the queue. If the space made available/to -a CLEC in the queue is not
sufficient to meet such CLEC's needs , such GLEC may deny the space that
becomes available and keep its position in thequ~ue.11 If Qwest denies a request for Collocationina Owest Premises due to
space limitations, Owest shall allow CLEC representativ.esto tour the entire Premises
escorted by Owest personnel within ten (10) calendar bays of CLEC's receipt of the
denial of space, or a mutually agreed upon date.Owest will review the detailed floor
plans for the Premises with CLEC during the tour, inqluding Qwest reserved or optioned
space. Such tour shall be without charge to CLEC. .Ifif after the tour of the Premises
Qwest and CLEC disagree about whether space limlt,citions at the Premises make
Collocation impractical, Owest and CLEC may present their arguments to the
Commission. In addition, if after the fact, it is determined that Owest has incorrectly
identified the space limitations, Qwest will honor the origjnalColiocation Application date
for determining RFS unless both Parties agree to a revised date.12 Qwest shall submit to the Commission
, .
subject to any protective order as
the Commission may deem necessary, detailed floor plans or diagrams of any Premises
where Owest claims that Physical Collocation is ,not' practical because of spacelimitations.

Reclamation and Reconditioning of Space
14.Reclamation of Space -- Redamation of space is performed by
Qwest removing unused, obsolete Qwest, equipment to make space for
equipment use. The cost of removal of the o~sQ:liMe unused equipment shall beborne by Owest. T' i:'
14.If CLEC issues a "forecast or reservation for
Collocation, Qwest shall use its best judgement to determine whether it
would be appropriate to reclaim spac~ and or equipment to meet
expected Collocation requirements.

14.If CLEC issues a C6l1ocl:ition Application and unused
obsolete equipment must be removed to provide the requested
Collocation, Qwest will affirmatively, remove such unused, obsolete
equipment as necessary to fulfill the 'Collocation request within the
applicable interval set forth in section 3,4;
14.Reconditioning of Space -Reconditioning of space is the
remodeling of space for equipment use , sudi!, but not limited to , adding
HVAC. The Collocation feasibility study will identify whether reconditioning of
space is available and necessary to meet .Cp~C needs for Collocation. If
requested by CLEC, Qwest will assess the cost of such reconditioning, provide a
quote to CLEC for the costs , and upon Acceptance of quote by CLEC , perform
the necessary work to recondition the space. ~orJeconditioned space , CLEC is
responsible for prorated charges based on the.,uoqunt of space requested.15 Cancellation of Collocation Request. CLEC may cancel a Collocation
request prior to the completion of the request by Qwest by submitting a written request

most efficient route and cable racking, Qwest shall consider all information provided by
CLEC in the Application form, including but not limited to, distance limitations of the
facilities CLEC intends to use for the connection. If the, length of the most efficient route
exceeds any such distance limitations, Qwest will notify CLEC of available options.
When CLEC notifies Qwest of CLECs preferred option, Qwest will proceed with the route
design and quote preparation. If CLEC elects to have Qwest provide the channel
regeneration , the quote will include the applicable charges (pursuant to section 3.9),
provided that Qwest shall not impose such charges if there exists in the affected Qwest
Premises, another available Collocation space whose "u!?e by CLEC would not have
required regeneration , or if such a space would have exiSted , but for Qwest's reservation
of such space for its own future use. CLEC shall have access to the designated route
and construct such connection, using copper, coax, optical fiber facilities, or any other
technically feasible method utilizing a vendor of CLEC's own choosing. CLEC may
place its own fiber, coax, copper cable , or any other. technically feasible connecting
facilities outside of the actual physical Collocation -space, subject only to reasonable
NEBS Level 1 safety limitations using the route specified by Qwest. CLEC may perform
such Interconnections at the ICDF, if desired. CLEG may interconnect its network as
described herein to any other collocating Carrier, to any collocated Affiliate of CLEC, to
any end user s premises, and may interconnect CLEC~sown collocated space and/or
equipment (e., GLEC's Physical Collocation and GLEe's Virtual Collocation on the
same Premises). CLEC-to-CLEC Connections shall be'. ordered either as part of
Application for Collocation under Section 3.4, or.separately from a Collocation
Application in accordance with Section 3.4.7. CLEC-:-to-:-CLEC Cross Connections at an

2.4.Collocation Fiber Entrance Facilities: - Qwest offers three (3) Fiber
Collocation Entrance Facility options - Standard FiberEntrance Facility, Cross-Connect
Fiber Entrance Facility, and Express Fiber Entrance Facilities. These options apply to
Caged and Cage less Physical Collocation and Virtual-Collocation. Fiber Entrance
Facilities provide the connectivity between CLEC'coUocated equipment within the
Qwest Wire Center and a Collocation Point of Interconnection (C-POI) outside the Qwest
Wire Center where CLEC shall terminate its fiber-optic facility, except the Express Fiber
Entrance Facilities.
. "
2.4.CLEC is responsible for providing its own fiber facilities to the C-POIoutside Qwest's Wire Center. Qwest will extend the fiber cable from the C-POI to a
Fiber Distribution Panel (FDP). Additional fiber, conduitand associated riser structurewill then be provided by Qwest from the FDP to continue the run to CLEC's leased
Collocation space (Caged or Cage less Physical CplJpcation) or CLEC's equipment(Virtual Collocation). The Qwest provided facility fro'm the C-POI to the leased
Collocation space (Physical Collocation) or CLEC equip!Jlent (Virtual Collocation) shall
be considered the Collocation Fiber Entrance FacilitY'the preceding provisions do not
apply to Express Fiber Entrance Facility which provides,that CLEC fiber will be pulled to
CLEC Collocation equipment without splices or termi.ri?1tlcm on an FDP.
2.4.Standard Fiber Entrance Facility -- The standard fiber entrance
facility provides fiber connectivity between CLEC's fiber facilities delivered to the
POI and CLEC's Collocation space in increments of 12 fibers. CLEC's fiber
cable is spliced into a Qwest-provided sharedfiper entrance cable that consists
of six buffer tubes containing 12 fibers each f()r;a 72 fiber cable. The 72 fibercable shall be terminated on a Fiber Distri,~~~iR,r, Panel (FDP). A 12 fiber
Interconnection cable is placed between CLEG'sJ~oUocation space and the FDP.
The FDP provides Qwest with test access abdji.ii "connection point between the
transport fiber and CLEC's Interconnection cable'
2.4.2 Cross-Connect Fiber Entranc~ F,~cility -- The cross-connect fiberentrance facility provides fiber connectivity ~etween CLEC'fiber facilities
delivered to a C-POI and multiple locations within the Qwest Wire Center.
CLEC's fiber cable is spliced into a Qwest provk~ed shared fiber entrance cablein 12 fiber increments. The Qwest fiber cable consists of six buffer tubes

11.Direct Connection
11.Direct Connection provides an uninterrupted path from
the Collocation space to an existing frame. This option will guarantee that
there will not be an ICDF. The connection will be designed from the
Collocation space to the same frame thatOwest uses to connect to that
specific service. For example , if CLEC wants to connect directly from
their Collocation space to a 911 router, the infrastructure for the 911
trunks will terminate in a DS 1 bay lo.Gati9Jl with the 911-router circuits.
There are several options for the lo,Gi;ltiop of the Demarcation Point.CLEC will select their desired option, via the supplemental Direct
Connection (DC-POT) With Coliocation Form DCO50900. If CLEC
chooses a demarcation inside the CoJl6cation. space, the collocator
should order and install the terminatiqn quipment itself. Demarcation
equipment must be noted on the order.iform so that a CLL! code and
unique tie cable assignments can be g~,n~rated for systems flow through.
If CLEC chooses a demarcation outsiqe !t~ Collocation space , Qwest will
maintain and inventory this device. Direct terminations may be ordered, , L'where frame space is available. If frame space is exhausted the
terminations may need to be made at ~nq1her frame. Upon completion of

terminations as required. The Direct C'cihn.ection APOT information must
be provided on the ASR or LSR to inslj'r~'ihat the services are designed
to the dedicated path.
11.2 CLEC's termination point will require a CLL! code (e.
Frame Number) and the dedicated tie pairs will require a unique name to
enable automatic assignment through TIRKSTM and SWITCHTM via Carrier
Facilities Address (CFA) methods.
11.If CLEC wishes to arrange ,terminations on a 2-wire
POTS level cross-connect device of thee ,modular type, i.e. COSMICTM
Hardware, standard-engineering principles will apply. Provisioning
intervals and costs will be customized'~md determined on an individual
case basis (ICB). A five (5) year forecast including terminations per
quantities will be required. MELDTM runs'will be required for the initial
COSMICTM plan and each subsequent'block addition. To minimize
CLEC's cost , to the extent feasible QWest shall consolidate CLEC'
requirements with the requirements of Qwest and other CLECs into asingle MELDTM run whenever feasible::' Costs of such consolidated
MELDTM runs shall be prorated among the Parties, including Qwest
Minimum installation requires at least'0ne (1) block for every two (2)
outside plant modules. A Y:z shelf of block capacity must be reserved forfuture block space.
11.2.4 Requests for terminations at a DSO, DS1 , DS3 and
optical level (non-POTS) may also be' made directly to the respectiveframe or panel (i.e. toll frame , DSX, FOP, etc.). Direct Connections to
these frames do not require MELDTM runs and short jumper engineering
principals , as with the COSMICTM frame However these connections will
require coordination between Qwest and CLEC to ensure that the cable is
terminated in an existing frame with the :service that CLEC is wishing toconnect with. Direct Connection is ordered via the supplemental
Collocation order form , Direct Connection (DC-POT) With Collocation
Form DC050900. Timing, pricing and feasibility will be determined on the
basis of a specific, in-depth building" ahalysis. Direct Connections are
available where available frame space~i'permits. If frame space is
exhausted , terminations may need tob'emade at another frame. Space
availability will be determined during the feasibility request phase of the
order. Rates for Direct Connection Terminations will be on an 1GB basis
using rates defined in Exhibit A.
