deployed by DMJ on that Loop must not significantly degradethe performance of
other services provided on that Loop.
4.3 Verizon shall make Line Sharing available to DMJ at the rates and charges set
forth in the Pricing Attachment.In addition to the recurringand nonrecurring
charges shown in the Pricing Attachment for Line Sharing itself,the following
rates shown in the Pricing Attachment and in Verizon's applicableTariffs are
among those that may apply to a Line Sharing arrangement:(i)prequalification
charges to determine whether a Loop is xDSL compatible (i.e.,compatiblewith
an xDSL servicethat is presumedto be acceptable for shared-linedeployment in
accordance with FCC rules);(ii)engineering query charges,engineeringwork
order charges,or Loop conditioning (Digital Designed Loop)charges;(iii)
charges associated with Collocationactivities requested by DMJ;and (iv)
misdirected dispatch charges,chargesfor installation or repair,manual
intervention surcharges,trouble isolation charges,and pair swap/line and station
transfer charges.
4.4 The following ordering proceduresshall apply to Line Sharing:
4.4.1 To determine whether a Loop qualifies for Line Sharing,the Loop must
first be prequalifiedto determine if it is xDSL compatible.DMJ must
utilize the Loop qualification processes described in the terms
applicable to xDSL and Digital Designed Loops to make this
determination.
4.4.2 DMJ shall place orders for Line Sharing by delivering to Verizon a valid
electronic transmittal service order or other mutually agreed upon type
of service order.Such service order shall be provided in accordance
with industryformat and specifications or such format and
specifications as may be agreed to by the Parties.
4.4.3 If the Loop is prequalified by DMJ through the Loop prequalification
database,and if a positive response is receivedand followed by
receipt of DMJ's valid,accurate and pre-qualified service order for Line
Sharing,Verizon will return an LSR confirmationwithin twenty-four
(24)hours (weekends and holidays excluded)for LSRs with less than
si× (6)loops and within 72 hours (weekends and holidays excluded)
for LSRs with six (6)or more loops.
4.4.4 If the Loop requires qualification manually or through an Engineering
Query,three (3)additional Business Days will generally be requiredto
obtain Loop qualification results before an order confirmation can be
returned following receipt of DMJ's valid,accurate request.Verizon
may require additional time to complete the EngineeringQuery where
there are poor record conditions,spikes in demand,or other
unforeseen events.
4.4.5 If conditioning is required to make a Loop capable of supporting Line
Sharing and DMJ orders such conditioning,then Verizon shall provide
such conditioning in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
pertaining to Digital Designed Loops;or if this Agreement does not
contain provisions pertaining to Digital Designed Loops,then in
accordancewith Verizon's generally available rates,terms and
conditions applicable to Digital Design Loops;provided,however,that
Verizon shall not be obligated to provide Loop conditioning if Verizon
establishes,in the manner required by Applicable Law,that such
90
conditioning is likely to degrade significantly the voice-grade service
being provided to Verizon's Customers over such Loops.
4.4.6 The standard Loop provisioning and installation process will be initiated
for the Line Sharing arrangement only once the requested engineering
and conditioning tasks have been completed on the Loop.Scheduling
changes and charges associated with order cancellations after
conditioning work has been initiated are addressed in the terms
pertainingto Digital Designed Loops,as referencedin Section 4.4.5,
above.The standard provisioning interval for the Line Sharing
arrangement shall be as set out in the Verizon Product IntervalGuide;
provided that the standard provisioning interval for the Line Sharing
arrangement shall not exceed the shortest of the following intervals:
(a)six (6)business days;(b)the standard provisioninginterval for the
Line Sharing arrangement that is stated in an applicableVerizon Tariff;
or,(c)the standard provisioning interval for the Line Sharing
arrangement that is required by Applicable Law.The standard
provisioning interval for the Line Sharing arrangement shall commence
only once any requested engineeringand conditioningtasks have
been completed.Line Sharing arrangements that require pair swaps
or line and station transfers in order to free-up facilities may have a
provisioning interval that is longer than the standard provisioning
interval for the Line Sharing arrangement.In no event shall the Line
Sharing interval offered to DMJ be longer than the interval offered to
any similarly situated Affiliate of Verizon.
4.4.7 DMJ must provide all required Collocation,CFA,Special Bill Number
(SBN)and NC/NCI information when a Line Sharing Arrangement is
ordered.Collocation augments required,either at the Point of
Termination (POT)Bay,Collocation node,or for splitter placement,
must be ordered using standard collocation applications and
procedures,unless otherwiseagreed to by the Parties or specified in
this Agreement.
4.4.8 The Parties recognize that Line Sharing is an offering that requires both
Parties to make reasonableefforts to coordinate their respectiveroles
in order to minimize provisioning problems and facility issues.DMJ
will provide reasonable,timely,and accurate forecasts of its Line
Sharing requirements,including splitter placement elections and
ordering preferences.These forecasts are in addition to projections
providedfor other stand-alone unbundled Loop types.
4.5 To the extent required by Applicable Law,DMJ shall provideVerizon with
information regarding the type of xDSL technology that it deploys on each shared
Loop.Where any proposed change in technology is planned on a shared Loop,
DMJ must provide this information to Verizon in order for Verizon to update Loop
records and anticipate effects that the change may have on the voice grade
service and other Loops in the same or adjacent binder groups.
4.6 As described more fully in Verizon Technical Reference72575,the xDSL
technology used by DMJ for Line Share Arrangements shalf operate within the
Power Spectral Density (PSD)limits set forth in T1.413-1998 (ADSL),T1.419-
2000 (Splitterless ADSL),or TRS9-1999 (RADSL),and MVL (a proprietary
technology)shall operate within the 0 to 4 kHz PSD limits of T1.413-1998 and
within the transmit PSD limits of Ti.601-1998 for frequencies above 4 kHz,
provided that the MVL PSD associated with audible frequencies above 4 kHz
91
shall be sufficiently attenuated to preclude significantly degrading voice services.
DMJ's deploymentof additional Advanced Services shall be subject to the
applicable FCC Rules.
4.7 DMJ may only access the high frequency portion of a Loop in a Line Sharing
arrangement through an established Collocation arrangementat the Verizon
ServingWire Centerthat contains the End Office Switch through which voice
grade service is providedto Verizon's Customer.DMJ is responsiblefor
providing,through one of the splitter options described below,a splitter at that
Wire Center that complies with ANSI specification T1.413,employs Direct
Current (DC)blocking capacitors or equivalent technology to assist in isolating
high bandwidth trouble resolution and maintenance to the high frequency portion
of the frequency spectrum,and operates so that the analog voice "dial tone"
stays active when the splitter card is removed for testing or maintenance.DMJ is
also responsiblefor providing its own Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer
(DSLAM)equipment in the Collocation arrangement and any necessary
Customer Provided Equipment (CPE)for the xDSL service it intends to provide
(including CPE splitters,filters and/or other equipment necessary for the end
user to receive separate voice and data services across the shared Loop).
Two splitter configurations are available.In both configurations,the splitter must
be provided by DMJ and must satisfy the same NEBS requirements that Verizon
imposes on its own splitter equipment or the splitter equipment of any Verizon
Affiliate.DMJ must designate which splitter option it is choosing on the
Collocation application or augment.Regardlessof the option selected,the
splitter arrangements must be installed before DMJ submits an order for Line
Sharing.
Splitter Option A (Splitter Option 1):Splitter in DMJ Collocation Area
In this configuration,the DMJ-providedsplitter (ANSI T1.413 or MVL compliant)
is provided,installed and maintained by DMJ in its own Collocationspace within
the Customer's serving End Office.The Verizon-provided dial tone is routed
through the splitter in the DMJ Collocation area.Any rearrangementswill be the
responsibility of DMJ.
Splitter Option C (Splitter Option 2):Splitter in Verizon Area
in this configuration,Verizon inventoriesand maintainsa DMJ-provided splitter
(ANSI T1.413 or MVL compliant)in Verizon space within the Customer's serving
End Office.The splitters will be installed shelf-at-a-time.
In those serving End Offices where Verizon employs the use of a POT Bay for
interconnectionof DMJ's Collocation arrangement with Verizon's network,the
splitter will be installed (mounted)in a relay rack betweenthe POT Bay and the
MDF.The demarcation point is at the splitter end of the cable connecting the
POT Bay and the splitter.Installation of the splitter will be performed by Verizon
or,at DMJ's election,by a Verizon-approved vendor designated by DMJ.
In those serving End Offices where Verizon does not employa POT Bay for
interconnectionof DMJ's Collocation arrangement with Verizon's network,the
DMJ provided splitter will be installed (mounted)in a relay rack between the DMJ
Collocation arrangement and the MDF.The demarcation point is at the splitter
end of the cable connecting the DMJ Collocation arrangementand the splitter.
Installationof the splitter will be periormed by Verizon,or,at DMJ's election,by a
92
Verizon-approved vendor designated by DMJ.
In either scenario,Verizon will control the splitter and will direct any required
activity.Where a POT Bay is employed,Verizon will also perform all POT Bay
work requiredin this configuration.Verizon will provide a splitter inventoryto
DMJ upon completion of the required work.
4.7.1 Where a new splitter is to be installed as part of an initial Collocation
implementation,the splitter installation may be ordered as part of the
initial Collocation application.Associated Collocation charges
(application and engineering fees)apply.DMJ must submit a new
Collocation application,with the application fee,to Verizon detailing its
request.Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law,standard
Collocation intervals will apply.
4.7.2 Where a new splitter is to be installed as part of an existing Collocation
arrangement,or where the existing Collocation arrangement is to be
augmented (e.g.,with additional terminations at the POT Bay or DMJ's
collocation arrangement to support Line Sharing),the splitter
installation or augment may be ordered via an application for
Collocation augment.Associated Collocation charges (applicationand
engineeringfees)apply.DMJ must submit the application for
Collocation augment,with the application fee,to Verizon.Unless a
longer interval is stated in Verizon's applicable Tariff,an interval of
seventy-six (76)business days shall apply.
4.8 DMJ will have the following optionsfor testing shared Loops:
4.8.1 In serving End Offices where Verizon employs a POT Bay for
interconnection of DMJ Collocation arrangement with Verizon's
network,the following options shall be available to DMJ.
4.8.1.1 Under Splitter Option A,DMJ may conduct its own physical
tests of the shared Loop from DMJ's collocation area.If it
chooses to do so,DMJ may supply and install a test head to
facilitate such physical tests,providedthat:(a)the test
head satisfies the same NEBS requirementsthat Verizon
imposes on its own test head equipment or the test head
equipment of any Verizon Affiliate;and (b)the test head
does not interrupt the voice circuit to any greater degree
than a conventional MLT test.Specifically,the DMJ-
provided test equipment may not interrupt an in-in-progress
voice connection and must automatically restore any circuits
tested in intervals comparable to MLT.This optional DMJ-
provided test head will be installed in DMJ's Collocaton area
between the "line"port of the splitter and the POT Bay in
order to conduct remote physical tests of the shared Loop
4.8.1.2 Under Splitter Option C,upon request by DMJ,either
Verizon or,at DMJ's election,a Verizon-approvedvendor
selected by DMJ will install a DMJ-providedtest head to
enable DMJ to conduct remote physical tests of the shared
Loop.This optional DMJ-provided test head will be installed
at a point between the "line"port of the splitter and the
Verizon-provided test head that is used by Verizon to
conduct its own Loop testing.The DMJ-providedtest head
93
must satisfy the same NEBS requirementsthat Verizon
imposes on its own test head equipment or the test head
equipment of any Verizon Affiliate,and may not interrupt the
voice circuit to any greater degree than a conventional MLT
test.Specifically,the DMJ-providedtest equipment may not
interrupt an in-progress voice connectionand must
automaticallyrestore any circuits tested in intervals
comparableto MLT.Verizon will inventory,control and
maintain the DMJ-providedtest head,and will direct all
required activity.
4.8.1.3 Under either Splitter Option,if Verizon has installed its own
test head,Verizon will conduct tests of the shared Loop
using a Verizon-providedtest head,and,upon request,will
provide these test results to DMJ during normal trouble
isolation procedures in accordancewith reasonable
procedures.
4.8.1.4 Under either Splitter Option,upon request by DMJ,Verizon
will make MLT access available to DMJ via RETAS after the
service order has been completed.DMJ will utilize the
circuit number to initiate a test.
4.8.2 In those serving End Offices where Verizon has not employed a POT
Bay for interconnection of DMJ's Collocation arrangement with
Verizon's network,DMJ will not be permittedto supply its own test
head.Instead,Verizon will make a testing system availableto DMJ
through use of the on-line computer interfacetest system at
www.verizon.com/wise.
4.8.3 The Parties will continue to work cooperatively on testing procedures.
To this end,in situations where DMJ has attempted to use one or
more of the foregoing testing options but is still unable to resolve the
error or trouble on the shared Loop,Verizon and DMJ will each
dispatch a technician to an agreed-upon point to conduct a joint meet
test to identify and resolve the error or trouble.Verizon may assess a
charge for a misdirected dispatch only if the error or trouble is
determined to be one that DMJ should reasonably have been able to
isolate and diagnose through one of the testing options available to
DMJ above.The Parties will mutually agree upon the specific
proceduresfor conducting joint meet tests.
4.8.4 Verizon and DMJ each havea responsibilityto educate the Customer
regarding which service provider should be called for problemswith
their respective service offerings.Verizon will retain primary
responsibility for voice band trouble tickets,including repairing analog
voice grade services and the physical line between the NID at the
Customer premise and the point of demarcation in the Central Office.
DMJ will be responsiblefor repairing services it offers over the Line
Sharing arrangement.Each Party will be responsiblefor maintaining
its own equipment.If a splitter or test head that DMJ has providedto
Verizon malfunctions,DMJ shall provide a replacement splitter or test
head to Verizon.Beforeeither Party initiates any activity on a shared
Loop that may cause a disruption of the service of the other Party,that
Party shall first make a good faith effort to notify the other Party of the
possibility of a service disruption.Verizon and DMJ will work together
94
to address Customer initiated repair requests and to prevent adverse
impacts to the Customer.
4.8.5 When Verizon provides inside Wire maintenance services to the
Customer,Verizon will only be responsiblefor testing and repairingthe
Inside Wire for voice-grade services.Verizon will not test,dispatch a
technician,repair,or upgrade InsideWire to clear trouble calls
associated with DMJ's Advanced Services.Verizon will not repairany
CPE provided by DMJ.Before a trouble ticket is issued to Verizon,
DMJ shall validate whether the Customer is experiencing a trouble that
arises from DMJ's service.If the problem reported is isolated to the
analog voice-grade service provided by Verizon,a trouble ticket may
be issued to Verizon.
4.8.6 In the case of a trouble reported by the Customer on its voice-grade
service,if Verizon determines the reported trouble arises from DMJ's
equipment,splitter problems,or DMJ's activities,Verizon will:
4.8.6.1 Notify DMJ and request that DMJ immediatelytest the
trouble on DMJ's service.
4.8.6.2 If the Customer's voice grade service is so degraded that
the Customer cannot originate or receive voíce grade calls,
and DMJ has not cleared its trouble within a reasonable
time frame,Verizon may take unilateralsteps to temporarily
restore the Customer's voice grade service if Verizon
determines in good faith that the cause of the voice
interruption is DMJ's service.
4.8.6.3 Upon completion of the steps in 4.8.6.1 and 4.8.6.2,above,
Verizon may temporarily remove the DMJ-providedsplitter
from the Customer's Loop and switch port if Verizon
determines in good faith that the cause of the voice
interruption is DMJ's service.
4.8.6.4 Upon notificationfrom DMJ that the malfunction in DMJ's
service has been cleared,Verizon will restore DMJ's service
by restoring the splitter on the Customer's Loop.
4.8.6.5 Upon completion of the above steps,DMJ will be charged a
Trouble Isolation Charge (TIC)to recover Verizon's costs of
isolating and temporarily removing the malfunctioning DMJ
service from the Customer's line if the cause of the voice
interruption was DMJ's service.
4.8.6.6 Verizon shall not be liable to DMJ,the Customer,or any
other person,for damages of any kind for disruptionsto
DMJ's service that are the result of the above steps taken in
good faith to restore the end user's voice-grade POTS
service,and DMJ shall indemnify Verizon from any Claims
that result from such steps.
5.Line Splitting
CLECs may provide integrated voice and data services over the same Loop by engaging
95
in "line splitting"as set forth in paragraph 18 of the FCC's Line Sharing Reconsideration
Order (CC Docket Nos.98-147,96-98),released January 19,2001.Any line splitting
between two CLECs shall be accomplished by prior negotiated arrangement between
those CLECs.To.achieve a line splitting capability,CLECs may utilize existing
supporting OSS to order and combine in a line splitting configurationan unbundledxDSL
capable Loop terminated to a collocated splitter and DSLAM equipment providedby a
participating CLEC,unbundled switching combinedwith shared transport,collocator-to-
collocator connections,and available cross-connects,under the terms and conditions set
forth in their InterconnectionAgreement(s).The participating CLECsshall provideany
splitters used in a line splitting configuration.CLECs seeking to migrate existing UNE
platform configurations to a line splitting configuration using the same unbundled
elements utilized in the pre-existing platform arrangementmay do so consistent with such
implementationschedules,terms,conditions and guidelinesas are agreed upon for such
migrations in the ongoing DSL Collaborative in the State of New York,NY PSC Case 00-
C-0127,allowingfor local jurisdictional and OSS differences.
6.Sub-Loop

engineering query to Verizon,and Verizon shall provide to DMJ,the
following information regarding a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility that
serves an identified Customer:the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility's
length and gauge;whether Sub-Loop Distribution Facility has loading
and bridged tap;the amount of bridgedtap (if any)on the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility;and,the location of the FDI to which the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility is connected.
6.1.4 To order access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility,DMJ must first
request that Verizon connect the Verizon FDI to which the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility is connectedto a DMJ TOPIC.To make such a
request,DMJ must submit to Verizon an application (a "Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility Interconnection Application")that identifiesthe FDI
at which DMJ wishes to access the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility.A
Sub-Loop Distribution Facility InterconnectionApplication shall state
the location of the TOPIC,the size of the interconnecting cable and a
description of the cable's supporting structure.A Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility InterconnectionApplication shall also include a
five-year forecast of DMJ's demand for access to Sub-Loop
Distribution Facilities at the requested FDI.DMJ must submit the
applicationfee set forth in the Pricing Attachment attached hereto and
Verizon's applicable Tariffs (a "Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
Application Fee")with Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection
Application.DMJ must submit Sub-Loop InterconnectionApplications
to:
DMJ's Account Manager
6.1.5 Within sixty (60)days after it receives a complete Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility Interconnection Application for access to a Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility and the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Application
Fee for such application,Verizon shall provideto DMJ a work order
that describes the work that Verizon must perform to providesuch
access (a "Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Work Order")and a
statements of the cost of such work (a "Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
Interconnection Cost Statement").
6.1.6 DMJ shall pay to Verizon fifty percent (50%)of the cost set forth in a
Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection Cost Statement within
sixty (60)days of DMJ's receipt of such statement and the associated
Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Work Order,and Verizon shall not be
obligated to perform any of the work set forth in such order until
Verizon has received such payment.A Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
Interconnection Application shall be deemed to have been withdrawn if
DMJ breaches its payment obligation under this Section.Upon
Verizon 's completion of the work that Verizon must performto provide
DMJ with access to a Distribution Sub-Loop,Verizon shall bill DMJ,
and DMJ shall pay to Verizon,the balanceof the cost setforth in the
Sub-Loop Distribution Facility InterconnectionCost Statementfor such
access.
6.1.7 After Verizon has completed the installation of the interconnecting cable
to a DMJ TOPIC and DMJ has paid the full cost of such installation,
DMJ can request the connection of Verizon Sub-Loop Distribution
Facilities to the DMJ TOPIC At the same time,DMJ shall advise
97
Verizon of the services that DMJ plans to provide over the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility,request any conditioning of the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility and assign the pairs in the interconnecting cable.
.DMJ shall run any crosswires within the TOPIC.
1.1.1 If DMJ requests that Verizon reactivate an unused drop and NID,then
DMJ shall provide dial tone (or its DSL equivalent)on the DMJ side of
the applicable Verizon FDI at least twenty-four (24)hours before the
due date.On the due date,a Verizon technician will run the
appropriate cross connection to connect the Verizon Sub-Loop
DistributionFacility to the DMJ dial tone or equivalentfrom the TOPIC.
If DMJ requeststhat Verizon provide DMJ with access to a Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility that,at the time of DMJ's request,Verizon is using
to provide serviceto a Customer,then,after DMJ has loopedtwo
interconnecting pairs through the TOPIC and at least twenty four (24)
hours before the due date,a Verizon technician shall crosswirethe
dial tone from the Verizon central office through the Verizon side of the
TOPIC and back out again to the Verizon FDI and Verizon Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility using the "loop through"approach.On the due
date,DMJ shall disconnect Verizon's dial tone,crosswire its dial tone
to the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility and submit DMJ's long-term
number portability request.
1.1.2 Verizon will not provide access to a Sub-Loop DistributionFacility if
Verizon is using the loop of which the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility is
a part to provide line sharing service to another CLEC or a service that
uses derived channel technology to a Customer unless such other
CLECfirst terminates the Verizon-provided line sharing or such
Customer first disconnects the service that utilizes derived channel
technology.
6.1.8 Verizon shall provide DMJ with access to a Sub-Loop DistributionFacility
in accordancewith negotiated intervals
6.1.9 Verizon shall repair and maintain a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility at the
request of DMJ and subject to the time and material rates set forth in
Pricing Attachment and the rates,terms and conditions of Verizon's
applicable Tariffs.DMJ accepts responsibilityfor initial trouble
isolation for Sub-Loop Distribution Facilities and providing Verizon with
appropriate dispatch information based on its test results.If (a)DMJ
reports to Verizon a Customer trouble,(b)DMJ requests a dispatch,

6.2 Sub-Loop-Feeder (UFSE).
6.2.1 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this agreement and
.upon request by DMJ,Verizon shall provide DMJ with access to a
FeederSub-Loop (as such term is hereinafter defined)in accordance
with,and subject to,the terms and provisions of this Section 6.2,the
rates and charges provided in the Pricing Attachment and the rates,
terms and conditions of Verizon's applicable Tariffs.A "Feeder Sub-
Loop"means a DS1 or DS3 transmission path over a feeder facility in
Verizon's network betweena Verizon end office and either a Verizon
remote terminal equipment enclosure (an "RTEE")that subtends such
end office or a Verizon feeder distribution interface (such an interface,
an "FDI")that subtends the end office.
6.2.2 DMJ may obtain access to a Feeder Sub-Loop only from a DMJ
collocation arrangement in the Verizon end office where such Feeder
Sub-Loop originatesand Verizon shall terminate a Feeder Sub-Loop in
an RTEE that subtends such end office only if DMJ has a collocation
arrangement in such RTEE.Upon DMJ's request,Verizon will
connect a Feeder Sub-Loop to a DMJ collocation arrangement in the
Verizon end office where the Feeder Sub-Loop originates and to either
a DMJ collocation arrangement in the Verizon RTEE that subtends
such end office or a Telecommunications Carrier Outside Plant
Cabinet (such a cabinet,a "TOPIC")located within 100 feet of the FDI
that subtends the end office and that DMJ has established in
accordance with,and subject to the terms and provisions of,an
agreement between Verizon and DMJ that governs the establishment
of such TOPIC.Verizon shall connect a Feeder Sub-Loopto the point
of termination bay of a DMJ collocation arrangement in a Verizon
Central Office or to a DMJ TOPIC,by installing appropriate cross
connectionsand Verizon shall be solely responsible for installing such
cross connections.DMJ may obtain access to a Feeder Sub-Loop
between an end office and an RTEE or an FDI only if DS1 or DS3-
capable transmission facilities are available and not in use between
such office and RTEE or FDI.
6.2.3 DMJ shall run any crosswires within a DMJ physical collocation
arrangement and a DMJ TOPIC and DMJ will have sole responsibility
for identifyingto Verizon where a Feeder Sub-Loop should be

other equipment that Verizon installs in a TOPIC,and DMJ shall not
bill Verizon,and Verizon shall not pay DMJ,for providingsuch power
and space.
6.2.4 Verizon shall not be obligated to provide to DMJ any multiplexingat an
RTEE or at a TOPIC or to combine a Feeder Sub-Loop with a
Distribution Sub-Loop.If DMJ requests access to a Feeder Sub-Loop
and a Distribution Sub-Loop that are already combined,such
combination shall be deemed to be a loop and Verizon shall provide
such loop to DMJ in accordance with,but only to the extent required
by,the terms,provisions and rates in this Agreement that govern
loops,if any.
6.2.5 Verizon shall provide DMJ with access to a Feeder Sub-Loop in
accordancewith negotiated intervals.
99
6.2.6 Verizon shall repair and maintain a Feeder Sub-Loop at the request of
DMJ and subject to the time and material rates set forth in the Pricing
Attachment and the rates,terms and conditions of Verizon's applicable

shall provide Collocation to DMJ in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
Verizon's Collocation tariff,and Verizon shall do so regardless of whether or not such
terms and conditions are effective.
Section 1 of this Collocation Attachment ("Attachment"),in conjunction with the rest of
this Agreement,set forth the terms and a conditions under which Verizon shall provide
collocation services to DMJ.Collocation provides for access to Verizon's "Premises",for
the purpose of interconnectionand/or access to Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs).
Verizon's Premises include Verizon's central offices,serving Wire Centers,and all other
buildings or similar structures owned,leased,or otherwise controlled by Verizon that
house Verizon's networkfacilities.Collocation at Verizon's Wire Centers and access
tandems shall be accomplishedthrough caged or cageless service offerings,as
described below,except if not practical for technical reasons or due to space limitations.
In such event,Verizon shall provide adjacent collocation or other methods of collocation,
subject to space availabilityand technical feasibility.As required by Applicable Law,
Verizon shall also offer rates,terms and conditions for collocation services that are not
expressly addressed in this Attachment or other Verizon tariffs on an individual case
basis,and in doing so,shall comply with all applicablefederal or state requirements.
1.1 Types of Collocation.
1.1.1 Sinqle Caqed.A single caged arrangement is a form of
caged collocation,which allows a single CLEC to lease caged floor
space to house its equipment within Verizon Premises.
1.1.2 Shared Caqed.A shared caged arrangement is a newly constructed
caged collocation arrangementthat is jointly applied for and occupied
by two or more CLECs within a Verizon Premise.When two or more
CLECs request establishment and jointly apply for a new caged
111
collocationarrangement to be used as a shared caged arrangement,
one of the participating CLECs must agree to be the host CLEC (HC)
and the other(s)to be the guest CLEC (GC)..The HC and GC(s)are
solely responsible for determining whether to share a shared caged
collocation arrangement and if so,upon what terms and conditions.
The HC and GC(s)must each be interconnectedto Verizon for the
exchange of traffic with Verizon and/or to access unbundled network
elements.Verizon will not issue separate billing for any of the rate
elements associated with the shared caged collocation arrangement
betweenthe HC and the GC(s),but Verizon will provide the HC with
information on the proportionate share of the NRCs for each CLEC in
the shared arrangement.The HC will be responsiblefor ordering and
payment of all collocation applicable services ordered by the HC and
GC(s).The HC and GC will be responsiblefor orderingtheir own
unbundled network elements from Verizon.Verizon will separately bill
the HC and/or GC(s)for unbundled network elements ordered.The
HC and GC(s)are Verizon's customers and have all the rights and
obligationsapplicable hereunder to CLECs purchasingcollocation-
related services,including,without limitation,the obligationto pay all
applicablecharges,whether or not the HC is reimbursedfor all or any
portion of such charges by the guest(s).All terms and conditions for
caged collocation as described in this Attachment will apply to shared
caged collocation requirements.
1.1.3 Subleased Caqed.Vacant space available in a CLEC's caged
collocation arrangement may be made available to a third party(s)for
the purpose of interconnection and/or for access to UNEs in Verizon
Premises via the subleasing collocation arrangement.The CLEC
subleases the floor space to the third party(s)pursuantto terms and
conditions agreedto by the CLEC and the third party(s)involved.The
CLEC and third party(s)must each be interconnectedto Verizon for
the exchange of traffic with Verizon and/or to access unbundled
network elements.The CLEC is solely responsiblefor determining
whether to sublease a shared caged collocationarrangement and if
so,upon what terms and conditions.Verizon will not issue separate
billing for any of the rate elements associated with the subleased
caged collocation arrangement between the CLEC and the third
party(s).The CLEC will be responsiblefor ordering and payment of all
collocation applicable services ordered by the CLEC and the third
party(s).Each CLEC and third party will be responsiblefor ordering
their own unbundled network elements from Verizon.Verizon will
separately bill the CLEC and third party/partiesfor unbundled network
elements ordered.The CLEC and third party(s)are Verizon's
customers and have all the rights and obligations applicable hereunder
to CLECs purchasing collocation-related services,including,without
limitation,the obligation to pay all applicable charges,whether or not
the CLEC is reimbursed for all or any portion of such charges by the
third party(s).All terms and conditions for caged collocation as
described in this Attachment will apply to subleased caged collocation
requirements.
1.1.4 Caqeless.Cageless collocation is a form of collocation in which CLECs
can place their equipment in Verizon Premises.A cageless
collocation arrangement allows a CLEC,using Verizon approved
vendors,to install equipment in single bay incrementsin an area
designated by Verizon The equipment location will be designated by
v'eiizoli cuid vvill vaiy based on individual Verizon Prcmico
configurations.CLEC equipmentwill not share the same equipment
bays with Verizon equipment.
1.1.5 Adiacent.An adjacent collocationarrangement permits a CLEC to
construct or procure a structure on Verizon propertyfor collocationfor
the purposes of interconnection and/or access to UNEs in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.Adjacent collocation
is only an option when the following conditions are met:(1)space is
legitimately exhausted in Verizon's Premisefor caged and cageless
collocation;and (2)it is technically feasible to construct or procure a
hut or similar structure on Verizon propertythat adheres to local
buildingcode,zoning requirements,and Verizon building standards.
DMJ is responsiblefor complying with all zoning requirements,any
federal,state or local regulations,ordinances and laws,and obtaining
all associated permits.Verizon may,where required,participate in the
zoning approval and permit acquisitions.DMJ may not take any action
in establishing an adjacent structure that will force Verizon to violate
any zoning requirements or any federal,state,or local regulations,
ordinances,or laws.
Any construction by DMJ on Verizon property must comply with
Verizon's technical specifications as they relate to environmental
safety and grounding requirements.Verizon will make available power
and physical collocation services to DMJ in the same non-
discriminatory manner as it provides itself for its own remote
equipment buildings (REBs).
1.1.6 Fiber Optic Patchcord Cross Connect.The Fiber Optic Patchcord Cross
Connect provides the communicationspath between Verizon's Fiber
Distribution Panel (FDP)and DMJ's collocated transmission
equipment and facilities.The connection of the facilities would be
made via a Fiber Optic Patchcord.The Fiber Optic Patchcord Cross
Connect is limited in use solely in conjunction with access to
unbundled Dark Fiber and unbundled optical Interoffice Facilities
UNEs.
1.1.7 Other.A CLEC shall have the right to order collocation services offered
pursuant to Verizon tariffs following the effective date of this
Agreement,including,without limitation,the right to order virtual
collocation services in accordance with,and subject to,the terms of
Verizon's existing federal collocationtariff (GTOCTariff No.1).The
terms of this Attachment shall not apply to said tariff collocation
services.However,new collocation services ordered outside of said
tariffs on or after the effective date will be provided pursuantto the
terms of this Agreement.
Physical collocation of microwavetransmission facilities will be
permitted except where such collocation is not practical for technical
reasons or because of space limitations.Requests will be reviewed
on an individual case basis.

1.2.4 [IntentionallyLeft Blank].
1.2.5 Auqmentation.All requestsfor an addition or change to an existing
collocation arrangementthat has been inspected and turned over to
DMJ is considered an augmentation.An augmentation request will
require the submission of a complete application form and a non-
refundable Engineering or Minor Augment fee.A Minor Augment fee
may not be required under the circumstances outlined below.The
definition of a major or minor augment is as follows:
1.2.5.1 Major Augments of caged and cageless collocation
arrangements are those requeststhat:(a)requireAC or DC
power;(b)add equipment that generates more BTU's of
heat,or (c)increase the caged floor space over what DMJ
requested in its original application.A complete application
and EngineeringFee will be required when submitting a
caged or cageless request that requires a Major Augment.
1.2.5.2 Minor Augments of caged and cageless collocation
arrangements will require the submission of a complete
applicationform and the Minor Augment Fee.Minor
augments are those requests that:(a)do not require
additional DC and AC power,(b)do not add equipmentthat
generates more BTU's of heat,or (c)do not increase the
caged floor space,over what DMJ requested in its original
application.The requirements of a MinorAugment request
cannot exceed the capacity of the existing/proposed

CLEC Interconnectsand DSO,DS1,and DS3 facility
terminations are included as Minor Augments.
MinorAugments that require an augment fee are those
requeststhat require Verizon to perform a service or
function on behalf of DMJ including but not limited to:
requests to pull cable for CLECto CLEC Interconnectsand
DSO,DS1,and DS3 facility terminations.
Minor Augments that do not require a fee are those
augments performed solely by DMJ,that do not require
Verizon to provide a service or function on behalf of DMJ,
including but not limited to,requests to install additional
equipment in DMJ collocation space.Prior to the
installation of the additional equipment,DMJ agrees to
provide Verizon an application form with an updated
equipment listing that includes the new equipment to be
115
installed in DMJ's collocation arrangement.Once the
equipment list is submittedto Verizon,DMJ may proceed

1.3.1 Joint Planninq and Implementation Levels.Where conditioned space is
readily available,the implementation interval for Caged and Cageless
collocation requests is seventy-si×(76)business days for all standard
requests which were properly forecast six (6)months prior to the
application date,subject to the conditions set forth.Should unique
circumstances arise such as major constructionobstacles or special
DMJ requirements,upon notification to DMJ,a time extension of no
greater than fifteen (15)business days will apply.Intervalsfor non-
standard arrangements,including,but not limited to,Adjacent
collocation shall be mutually agreed upon by DMJ and Verizon.
1.3.1.1 The following standard implementation milestones,in
business days,will apply unless DMJ and Verizonjointly
decide otherwise:
1.3.1.1.1 Day 1:DMJ submits completed application and
associated Engineering/MajorAugment Fee.
1.3.1.1.2 Day 9:Verizon notifies DMJ that request can be
accommodated.
1.3.1.1.3 Day 14:DMJ notifies Verizon of its intent to
proceed and submits 50%paymentas set forth
in Section 1.2.3.
1.3.1.1.4 Day 76:Verizon and DMJ attend a Joint
inspection meeting and Verizon turns over the
collocation space to the DMJ.
116
Verizon and DMJ shall work cooperatively in meeting these milestones
and deliverables as determined during the joint planning process.
Verizon will schedule a meeting with DMJ to determine engineering
.and network requirements.A preliminary schedule will be developed
outlining major milestones.DMJ and Verizon control various interim
milestones they must complete in order to meet the overall intervals.
The interval clock will stop,and the final due date will be adjusted
accordingly,for each milestone DMJ misses (day for day).When
Verizon becomes aware of the possibility of vendor delays,Verizon will
first contact DMJ to attempt to negotiate a new interval.Verizon and
DMJ shall conduct additional joint planning meetings,as reasonably
required,to ensure that all known issues are discussed and to address
any that may impact the implementation process.Verizon will permit
DMJ to schedule one escorted visit to DMJ's collocation space during
construction.The applicable labor rates in Appendix A will be applied
for the escorted visit.
1.3.1.2 Prior to DMJ beginning the installation of its equipment,
DMJ must sign Verizon work completion notice,indicating
acceptance of the collocation space.DMJ may not install
any equipment or facilities in the collocation space until the
receipt by Verizon of the work completion notice.Prior to
DMJ beginning the installation of equipment in a cage,bay
or cabinet,DMJ and Verizon must conduct a joint inspection
of the designated collocation space.Verizon shall notify
DMJ of the date the collocation arrangement is readyfor the
joint inspection.DMJ has ten (10)business days to meet
Verizon at the site of the collocation arrangement.Upon
acceptance of the arrangement by DMJ,billing will be
initiated,access cards will be issued and DMJ may begin
installation of equipment.If DMJ does not attend the joint
inspection within the specified ten (10)business days,
Verizon will initiate billing for all monthly and nonrecurring
charges.
1.3.1.3 Unconditioned space conversion timeframes fall outside the
normal intervals and are negotiated on an individual case
basis based on negotiations with the site preparation
vendor(s).Verizon will use its best efforts to minimize the
additional time required to condition collocation space,and
will inform DMJ of the time estimates as soon as possible.
1.3.2 Forecastinq and Use of Data.
1.3.2.1 Verizon will request Caged and Cagetessforecasts from
DMJ on a semi-annual basis,with each forecast covering a
two-year period.DMJ will be requiredto update the near-
term (6-month)forecasted application dates.Information
requestedwill include central office,month applications are
expected to be sent,requested in-service month,
preference for Caged or Cageless collocation,and square
footage required.
1.3.2.2 Unforecasted demand will be given a lesser priority than
forecasted demand.Verizon will make every attempt to
meet standard intervals for unforecasted requests.
1 17
However,if unanticipated requests push demand beyond
Verizon's capacity limits,Verizon will negotiate longer
intervals as required (and within reason).In general,if
forecasts are received less than two (2)months prior to the
application date,the interval start day may be postponed as
follows:
1.3.2.2.1 No forecast:Interval Start Date commences two
(2)months after application date.
1.3.2.2.2 Forecast received 1 month prior to application
date:Interval Start Date commences two (2)
months after application date.
1.3.2.2.3 Forecast received two (2)months prior to
application date:Interval Start Date commences
one month after application date.
Any such interval adjustments will be discussed with DMJ at
the time the application is received.
1.3.3 Collocation Capacity.
1.3.3.1 Verizon's estimate of its present capacity (i.e.no more than
an increase of 15%over the average number of
applications received for the precedingthree months in a
particular geographic area)is based on current staffing and
current vendor arrangements.If the forecasts indicate
spikes in demand,Verizon will attempt to smooth the
demand via negotiations with the forecasting CLECs.If
Verizon and DMJ fail to agree to smooth demand,Verizon
will determine if additional expenditures would be required
to satisfy the spikes in demand and will work with the
Commission Staff to determine whether such additional
expenditure is warranted and to evaluate cost recovery
options.
1.3.3.2 If Verizon augments its workforce based on forecasts,
Verizon reserves the right to hold CLECs accountable for
the accuracy of their forecasts.
1.3.4 Vendor Capacity.Verizon will continuously seek to improve vendor
performancefor all premises work,including collocation.Since the
vendors require notice in order to meet increasesin demand,Verizon
will share DMJ actual and forecasted demand with appropriate
vendors,as required,subject to the appropriate confidentiality
safeguards.Verizon will seek assistance from the CLECs to resolve
vendor inability to meet demands.
1.3.5 Responsibilityfor Vendor Delays.No party shall be excused from their
obligations due to the acts or omissions of a Party's subcontractors,
material,men,suppliers or other third persons providingsuch products
or services to such Party unless such acts or omissions are the

MRCs.The MRC for a UNE-P will generally be equal to the sum of the MRCs for the
combined UNEs (e.g.the total of the UNE loop charge plus the UNE port charges in the
Agreement (see Note A)plus:UNE local switching (per minute originatingusage plus
T/O factor to determine terminating minutes)based on UNE local switching rates in the
Agreement plus UNE shared transport and tandem switching (based on factors for
percent interoffice and tandem switch usage,plus assumed transport mileage of 10 miles
and 2 terms)based on UNE shared transport rates in the Agreement plus UNE Vertical
Services charges (optional per line charges,if allowed by the Agreement).
(Note A):UNE platforms are available in four loop/port configurationsas shown below.

Initial Service Order Charge for ports will be billed for all UNE combination orders.
Central Office Line Connection or Outside Facility Fieldwork charges will be applied as
incurred on UNE combination orders.Verizon reserves the right to apply new NRCs
specific to UNE-Pwhen such NRCs have been developed.
Optional NRCs will apply as ordered by the CLEC including such charges as Expedites,
Coordinated Conversions,loop Conditioning,etc.
Operator Services and Directory Assistance Services (OS/DA).If DMJ does not initially
utilize available customized routing services to re-route OS/DA calls to its own or another
party's operator services platform,Verizon will bill the CLEC for OS/DA calls at a market-
based ICB rate pending DMJ's completion of a separate OS/DA agreement.
