4.Operations Matters.
4.1 Ordering.
4.1.1 General.The ordering procedures for UNEs and Combination's are described in
the GTE Guide found on VERIZON's wise website http://www.gte.com/wise).
The GTE Guide provides a list of NC/NCl codes which identifies the electrical
characteristics of loops which meet each NC/NCl code combination.VERIZON
will use existing Telcordia Technologies practices to determine loop service anddesigncharacteristics.If Sprint requires a loop with electrical characteristics notdefinedinexistingTelcordiaTechnologiespractices,Sprint may issue a BFR.
VERIZON will continue to participate in industry forums for developing service
orderldisconnect order formats and will incorporate appropriate industrystandards.Complete and accurate forms (containing the requisite Customer
information as described in the Guide)must be provided by SPRINT before arequestcanbeprocessed.ASRs and/or LSRs submitted by SPRINTwill bereviewedbyVERIZONforvalidationandcorrectionoferrors.Errors viill bereferredbacktoSPRINT.SPRINT will then correct any errors that VERIZON
has identified and resubmit the request to VERIZON via the same transmittal
process in which the original ASR/LSR was submitted (electronically or FAX)
through a supplemental ASR/LSR.Pre-ordering does not guarantee the
availability of a given UNE or Combination.Rather,VERIZON must receive afirmorderafterthepre-order to ensure SPRINT's access to the UNE or
Combination ordered.
4.1.1.1 911 Updates.VERIZON will be responsible for updates to the applicable
911/E911 database at parity with retail ordering processes when Sprint
orders UNE-P comprised of loop and port elements.Such responsibility
is expected to begin in the fourth quarter,2000.In no case will such
responsibility not begin by the end of the first quarter 2001.
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 84
4.1.2 Dark Fiber.-PRINT shall order Dark Fiber Transport,ark Fiber Loop and DarkFiberSubloopUNEsbysendingtoVERIZONanASR.When ordering darkfiber,SPRINT must order in pairs and at a minimum of two dark fiber strands per

251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 89
4.9 Loop Interference.
Sprint will deploy xDSL equipment that operates under the Power Spectral Density (PSD)
mask defined by ANSI T1 standards.
If SPRINT's deployment of service enhancing technology interferes with existing or
planned service enhancing technologies deployed by VERIZON or other CLECs in the
same cable sheath,VERIZON will so notify SPRINT and SPRINT will immediately
remove such interfering technology and shall reimburse VERIZON for all costs and
expenses incurred related to this interference.
VERIZON will implement spectrum management practices that provide methods to
resolve service degradation caused by disturbers on nearby loop pairs when there are
industry standards adopted for spectrum management.Methods may include forms of
binder management designed to protect services from the effects of known disturbers.
5.Financial Matters.
5.1 Rates and Charges.
The monthly recurring charges (MRCs)and non-recurring charges (NRCs)applicable for
the UNEs and Combinations,and related services made available under this Attachment
are set forth in Appendix A and Appendix A-1 attached hereto and made a part of this
Attachment.Compensation arrangements for the exchange of switched traffic between
SPRINT and VERIZON when SPRINT uses a VERIZON port,local switching and shared
transport shall be as set forth in Appendix B.
5.2 Billing.
VERIZON will utilize CBSS to produce the required bills for UNEs ordered via the LSR
process.This includes NIDs,subloops,loops,loops combined with port,ports and local
switching,shared transport,and line sharing.State or sub-state level billing will include
up to thirty (30)summary bill accounts.Timing of messages applicable to VERIZON's
port and circuit switching UNEs (usage sensitive services)will be recorded based on
originating and terminating access.VERIZON will utilize CABS to produce the required
bills for UNEs and Combinations ordered via the ASR process.This includes dark fiber,
dedicated transport and loops combined with dedicated transport.
5.2.1 Incollects.Incollects are calls that are placed using the sentices of VERIZON or
another LEC or local service provider and billed to a UNE port,INP number,or
LNP number of SPRINT.Examples of an incollect are collect and credit card
calls.VERIZON will provide the rated record it receives from the CMDS network,
or which VERIZON records (non-intercompany),to SPRINT for billing to
SPRINT's Customers.VERIZON will settle with the earning company,and will
bill SPRINT the amount of each incollect record less the Billing &Collection
(B&C)fee for Customer billing of the incollects.The B&C credit associated with
SPRINT's incollect messages that are incurred by VERIZON will be billed to
SPRINT on the monthly statement.
5.2.2 Outcollects.Outcollects are calls that are placed using a SPRINT UNE port and
billed to a VERIZON line or the line of another LEC or local service provider.
Examples of an outcollect are collect and credit card calls.When the VERIZON
Central Office Switch from which the UNE port is served utilizes a VERIZON
operator services platform,VERIZON will provide to SPRINT the unrated
message detail that originates from a SPRINT resale service line or UNE port,
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 90
but which i lled to a telephone number other than tf riginating number (e.g.,calling card,bill-to-third number,etc.).As the local service provider,SPRINT will
be deemed the earning company and will be responsible for rating the messageatSPRINT's rates and for providing the billing message detail to the billingcompanyforCustomerbilling.SPRINT will pay to VERIZON charges as agreed
to for services purchased,and SPRINT will be compensated by the billingcompanyfortherevenueduetoSPRINT.When a non-VERIZON entity providesoperatorsenticestotheVERIZONCentralOfficeSwitchfromwhichtheresalelineorUNEportisprovisioned,SPRINT must contract with the operator servicesprovidertoobtainanyEMIrecordsrequiredbySPRINT.
5.3 Measurement of Originating Usage.
VERIZON shall record usage data originating from SPRINT Customers that VERIZONrecordswithrespecttoitsownretailCustomers,using services order by SPRINT.On
UNE port accounts,VERIZON will provide usage in EMI format per existing file exchangeschedules.
5.4 Measurement of Terminating Usage.
Until such time as industry standards are implemented for recording and measuring
terminating local calls,the Parties agree to use factors to estimate terminating usagebasedonoriginatingusage.Where originating usage cannot be measured,the Partiesagreetouseassumedminutes.The applicable factors and assumed minutes are setforthinAppendixA.
5.5 Switched Access Usage.
VERIZON will provide SPRINT switched access usage records (AURs)in EMI Category
11 format for those UNEs which contain this switched access usage componentSPRINTagreestofollowapplicableindustrystandardsforthemeet-point billing ofswitchedaccessusageasdefinedinMECAB.
6.Intellectual Propedy Matters.
The Parties acknowledge that the determination of whether intellectual property rights are
implicated by SPRINT's request to purchase a given UNE or Combination can vary greatlydependingupontheindividualcontracttermsnegotiatedbythevendorandVERIZON.If co-extensive intellectual property rights are required for SPRINT to purchase such UNE or
Combination,VERIZON shall use its best efforts to assist SPRINT in acquiring such rights.Any
costs associated with acquiring such rights shall be allocated among SPRINT and all requestingcarriers,including VERIZON,on a case-by-case basis.SPRINT shall abide by all reasonablevendorrequirementsinconnectionwiththedeterminationandprocurementofsuchrights,
including,without limitation,confidentiality and privity of contract requirements.To the extent thatSPRINTintendstouseanUNEorCombinationinamannerthatisdifferentfromhowVERIZON
uses UNEs or Combinations in its network,SPRINT shall be solely responsible for obtaining this
right from the vendor.
7.Line Splitting
CLECs may provide integrated voice and data services over the same Loop by engaging 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
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 91
splitting configuration an ur idled xDSL capable Loop terminated to allocated splitter and
DSLAM equipment providea ey a participating CLEC,unbundled switchnig combined with shared
transpod,collocator-to-collocator connections,and available cross-connects,under the terms and
conditions set forth in their Interconnection Agreement(s).The participating CLECs shall provide
any splitters used in a line splitting configuratión.CLECs seeking to migrate existing UNE
platform configurations to a line splitting configuration using the same unbundled elements
utilized in the pre-existing platform arrangement may do so consistent with such implementation
schedules,terms,conditions and guidelines as are agreed upon for such migrations in the
ongoing DSL Collaborative in the State of New York,NY PSC Case 00-C-0127,allowing for local
jurisdictional and OSS differences.

APPENDIX C TO THE UNBUNDLED NETWORK ELEMENTS ATTACHMENT
LINESHARING
1.General.
1.1 Description of Service.The Administrative Law Judge's Ruling on Line Sharing issued
on May 26,2000 in Rulemaking 93-04-003 and Investigation 93-04-002 (the "ALJ
Ruling")required VERIZON (then known as "GTE")to make the Line Sharing UNE
service offering under the terms and conditions set forth in this Appendix C.For
purposes of this Agreement,line sharing is access to the high frequency portion of the
loop network element,which is defined as the frequency range above the voiceband on a
copper loop facility that is being used by VERIZON to carry analog circuit-switched
voiceband transmissions.VERIZON shall provide line sharing to the SPRINT on a
nondiscriminatory basis for use only in the provision of telecommunications service in
accordance with,and subject to,the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
Applicable Law.
1.2 Basic Requirements.The following requirements shall serve as conditions to VERIZON's
obligation to provide line sharing hereunder:
1.2.1 Line sharing will be permitted for any ADSL or voice compatible xDSL ("DSL")
technologies that do not significantly degrade other advanced serlices or
traditional voice band services,including without limitation Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line ("ADSL"),Rate-Adaptive ADSL,and Multiple Virtual Lines.As
additional technologies that may be compatible with existing services on a loop
become available,the parties will address their possible deployment,consistent
with the requirements of FCC Rules 51.230,51.233 and paragraphs 201-205 of
the Line Sharing Order.The DSL technology used by SPRINT will be within the
PSD mask parameters set forth in T1.413 or other applicable industry standards.
1.2.2 VERIZON provides retail analog circuit switched voice band service ("Voice
Service")on the loop to the same end-user for which SPRINT provides the DSL
line sharing sentice.If VERIZON discontinues the provision of such Voice
Service for any permissible reason not prohibited by Applicable Law,VERIZON
shall provide notice to SPRINT via e-mail that the Voice Service will be
discontinued.Within three (3)business days after such notice,SPRlNT may
notify VERIZON via e-mail that it desires to:(i)discontinue the end-user's line
sharing OSL service;or (ii)continue providing DSL service to the end-user over
an unbundled loop without line sharing.If SPRINT fails to make an affirmative
election during said three (3)business day period,option (ii)shall be
implemented.If option (ii)is implemented,the Padies shall cooperate to
transition the continuation without interruption (except for momentary
interruptions as described in the ALJ Ruling)of such DSL service without line
sharing.
1.2.3 VERIZON shall be restricted from decommissioning a copper loop when to do so
unreasonably eliminates SPRINT's ability to offer,or to continue to provide,xDSL
service.For existing end-users with line sharing DSL service,VERIZON shall
provide no less than three (3)business days notice to SPRINT via e-mail that it
intends to decommission the line shared copper loop.During such three (3)
business day period,SPRINT shall notify VERIZON via e-mail that it desires to:
(i)discontinue the end-user's line sharing DSL sentice;or (ii)continue providing
DSL service to the end-user over an unbundled loop without line sharing.If
SPRINT fails to make an affirmative election during said three (3)business day
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 114
period,opt (ii)shall be implemented.If option (ii)is plemented,the Partiesshallcooperatetotransitionthecontinuationwithoutinterruption(except formomentaryinterruptionsasdescribedintheALJRuling)of such DSL servicewithoutlinesharing.
1.3 Availability.Provided that the requirements of this Agreement are met,line sharing shallbeavailableunderthefollowingcircumstances:
1.3.1 The end-user has Voice Service from VERIZON and wishes to add DSL servicefromSPRINT.
1.3.2 The end-user has Voice Service and DSL service from VERIZON and wishes toconverttheDSLservicetoSPRINT.
1.3.3 The end-user wishes to establish both new Voice Service from VERIZON and
new DSL service from SPRINT,subject to the requirement that Voice ServicemustbeestablishedpriortotheimplementationofDSLservice.
1.3.4 The end-user has Voice Service from VERIZON and DSL service from anothercompetitivelocalexchangecarrierandwishestoconverttheDSLservicetoSPRINT.
At this time,line sharing will not be available where the end-user has had its VoiceServicenumberportedouttoanotherlocalserviceprovidereitherthroughinterimnumberportabilityorlong-term local number portability.In addition,VERIZON shall notprovidelinesharingtomorethanonecompetitivelocalexchangecarrierperloop.Subject to the reservation of rights and limitations set forth in Section 1.4,VERIZON shallabidebytherequirementsofordersrenderedintheInterimArbitration,Line Sharing
Phase of the Commission's OANAD proceeding (Rulemaking (R.)93-04-003/Investigation (l.)93-04-002)regarding the provisioning of line sharing over the UNEplatform.
1.4 Reservation of Rights.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,thePartiesdonotwaive,and hereby expressly resente,their rights:(a)to challenge,or tocontinuetochallenge,the legality and/or propriety of the ALJ Ruling,orders rendered in

rescission,modification or expiration of this Agreement without limit as to time.
1.5 Further Assurances.The Parties understand that both industry and VERIZON standards
and processes applicable to line sharing,including,without limitation,loop qualification,
ordering provisioning,fully automated OSS interfaces and other facets of OSS,are still
being developed.Accordingly,the Parties agree to cooperate in any reasonable
arrangement designed to facilitate the development of such standards and processes
and to document the same for purposes of this Agreement,as necessary and
appropriate.
1.6 Customer Education.VERIZON and SPRINT shall make end-users aware of the
following conditions and requirements:
1.6.1 The end-user should call VERIZON for problems related to its Voice Service.
The end-user should call its SPRINT contact for problems related to its DSL
service.
1.6.2 The end-user's line shared DSL service is dependent on its Voice Service.If
there is a problem with the physical line that causes the Voice Service to be
inoperative,the end-user may also be unable to use DSL services for some
period of time.
1.6.3 Subject to the requirements of Sections 1.2(b)and (c),end-users will not be able
to use SPRINT line shared DSL services if VERIZON Voice Services on the
shared line are cancelled or terminated for any reason.
2.Operations Matters.
2.1 Copper Network.Except as othePNiSe provided in Section 2.2,VERIZON shall provide
line sharing to SPRINT utilizing an all-copper pair between an end-user customer
demarcation location and the main distribution frame in VERIZON's serving wire center
that is jumpered and cross-connected to a SPRINT collocation arrangement located in
said serving wire center.At the serving wire center,VERIZON shall connect the line to a
SPRINT tie cable via a VERIZON-provided jumper,provided,however,that SPRINT
must first have obtained said tie cable from VERIZON to connect to SPRINT's collocation
arrangement.
2.2 Fiber-Fed DLC Network.VERIZON shall provide line sharing to SPRINT over Digital
Loop Carrier ("DLC")to the extent required pursuant to Applicable Law,including the
orders rendered in the Interim Arbitration,Line Sharing Phase of the OANAD proceeding,
and without waiving any rights to challenge any such requirement.Fiber-fed DLC
consists of an all-copper pair from the end-user customer demarcation location to a
remote terminal (i.e.,controlled environmental vault,fiber hut,cabinet or other structure
with fiber-fed DLC equipment installed).
2.3 Splitter Options.To utilize line sharing,SPRINT must obtain access to a splitter that
meets the requirements for equipment collocation set by the FCC in its Collocation Order
in CC Docket No.98-147 (rel.March 31,1999)in the central office that serves the end-
user of the shared line.SPRINT may obtain access to said splitter via the following
options.Prior to June 6,2000,VERIZON shall equip central offices with a VERIZON-
owned splitter as described in Option No.2 below.SPRINT agrees to use this
configuration for initial line sharing in the central offices that VERIZON commits to have
fully operational on or before June 6,2000 (assuming that unforeseen delays in the
availability of necessary equipment and/or labor,or other circumstances beyond
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 116
VERIZON's contre'"o not occur)as set forth on Exhibit 1 att'ad hereto.For thosecentralofficesthat-RIZON cannot commit to have fully operaconal with a VERIZON-owned splitter on or before June 6,2000,SPRINT may choose to deploy its own splitterasdescribedinOptionNo.1 below.VERIZON shall provide SPRINT with written noticeintheeventthatExhibitineedstoberevisedduetounforeseendelaysorothercircumstancesbeyondVERIZON's reasonable control.For any central office in whichSPRINTchoosestoinstallitsownsplitter,VERIZON agrees to install any additional tiecablesrequiredbySPRINT,in accordance with,and subject to,the terms of collocationsetforthinthisAgreementand/or applicable VERIZON tariffs.Notwithstanding anythingtothecontraryherein,any splitter installed by SPRINT or VERIZON shall:(1)comply withANSIT1E1standardsandVERIZONNEBSpolicyforcollocators;(2)employ DCblockingcapacitorsorequivalenttechnologytoassistinisolatinghighbandwidth troubleresolutionandmaintenancetothehighfrequencyportionofthefrequencyspectrum;and(3)be designed so that the analog voice "dial tone"stays active when the splitter card isremovedfortestingormaintenance.
2.3.1 Option No.1:CLEC Owned Splitter Located in the Collocation Arrangement ofSPRINT.SPRINT may choose to obtain the splitter directly and place the splitterinitscollocationarrangement.SPRINT shall purchase and own the splitter.Under this option,both the non-SPRINT voice traffic and the SPRINT-providedDSLserviceswillarriveattheSPRINTcollocationarrangementviaatiecableobtainedfromVERIZON.At the collocation arrangement,the tie cable willterminateatthesplitter,which will separate the voice traffic and the DSL traffic.SPRINT will retain the DSL traffic and will return the voice traffic to VERIZON,over a separate CLEC tie pair assignment.
2.3.2 Option No.2:CLEC Owned Splitter Located in an Area of the Serving WireCenterControlledExclusivelybyVERIZON.SPRINT may choose to haveVERIZONpurchaseandownthesplitterandlocatethesplitterinanareain theservingwirecentertowhichSPRINTdoesnothaveaccess(e.g.,on or as closetothemaindistributionframeaspractical).Said splitter shall be installed in anyofthefollowinglocationswithinthecentraloffice,at VERIZON's discretion-themaindistributionframe,in a relay rack mounted arrangement or intermediateframearrangement.In this scenario,SPRINT shall obtain the splitterfunctionalityonanindividual"port-at-a-time"basis.VERIZON shall perform allmaintenanceandrepairwork(as detailed further below in Section 2.11).SPRINT shall receive its DSL traffic via a tie cable obtained from VERIZON,running from the main distribution frame to the splitter and then from the splittertoSPRINT's collocation arrangement.Under this Option,VERIZON shall providetoSPRINTloopandsplitterfunctionalitythatiscompatiblewithanytransmissiontechnologythatSPRINTseekstodeployusingthehighfrequencypodionoftheloop,provided that such transmission technology is presumed to be deployablepursuanttoFCCRule51.230.

2.11 Testing,Repair and Maintenance.
2.11.1 So that SPRINTs have nondiscriminatory access to the loop facility for testing,repair and maintenance,SPRINT shall have physical and remote test access tothetesthead,e.g.the physical loop test access point at the splitter,twenty-fourhoursaday,seven days a week.VERIZON shall provide CLECs withequivalentelectronicaccesstoanytestingfunctionalitywhichVERIZON and/orVERIZON's affiliates utilize to provide DSL services.For example,VERIZON willprovideCLECsremotetestaccessviaitsWholesaleInternetServiceEngine("WISE")website (http://www.gte.com/wise)4-Tel loop testing mechanism.VERIZON is responsible for all testing of facilities and equipment terminated toitsmaindistributionframeandSPRINTisresponsibleforalltestingoffacilitieslocatedwithinitscollocationspace.VERIZON reserves the right to seek accesstoSPRINT's collocation space to conduct reasonably necessary testing,repairsormaintenancewhenSPRINTownsthesplitter,as provided under Option No.1
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 119
of Section above.For line sharing testing purpost.i.e.,high frequencyspectrumonly),SPRINT's point of demarcation will be within the SPRINT'scollocationspace.
2.11.2 VERIZON will be responsible for repairing Voice Service and the physical linebetweenthenetworkinterfacedeviceattheend-user premise and SPRINTdemarcationpointinthecentraloffice.SPRINT will be responsible for repairingitsDSLservicesandanyenduserrelatedDSLcomponentattheend-userpremise.Each entity will be responsible for maintaining its own equipment.InresponsetoatroubleticketopenedbySPRINT,VERIZON shall conduct anynecessaryrepairworkforlinesharingonatwenty-four-hour-a-day,seven-day-a-week basis,and shall maintain a mean-time-to-repair interval of twenty-four (24)hours,applied monthly,on a parity basis with VERIZON's retail repair intervals,as provided in Commission Docket R.97-10-016 and I.97-10-017 VERIZON isresponsibleforallrepairandmaintenanceoffacilitiesandequipmentterminatedtoitsmaindistributionframeandSPRINTisresponsibleforallrepairandmaintenanceoffacilitieslocatedwithinitscollocationspace.Where VERIZONownsthesplitteranddoesnotprovideSPRINTwithaccesstothesplitter,VERIZON shall conduct any necessary repair work on the splitter on a twenty-four-hour-a-day,seven-day-a-week basis,and shall maintain a mean-time-to-repair interval of twenty-four (24)hours,applied monthly,on a parity basis withVERIZON's retail repair intervals,as provided in Commission Docket R.97-10-016 and I.97-10-017..Where SPRINT owns the splitter,SPRINT is responsibleforperformingmaintenance,repair and testing on the splitter.C
2.11.3 VERIZON and SPRINT agree to coordinate in good faith any splitter testing,repair and niaintenance that will significantly impact the service provided by theotherparty.VERIZON and SPRINTs will work together to diagnose and resolveanytroublesreportedbytheend-user and to develop a permanent process forrepairofsharedlines.In the interim,VERIZON and SPRINT will work together toaddressend-user initiated repair requests and to prevent adverse impacts to theend-user.Where VERIZON has isolated a trouble with the Voice Service to be inSPRINTprovidedequipment,VERIZON shall notify SPRINT and SPRINT will berequiredtoclearthetroubleassociatedwiththeVERIZONlifelinevoiceservices.Where such troubles are not cleared within 3 hours,VERIZON will strap-throughthevoiceserviceontheVERIZONmaindistributionframe,isolating SPRINTequipmentfromtheVERIZONloopfacility.This strap-through arrangement shallbelimitedindurationtothetimenecessarytorepairthetrouble.SPRINT isresponsibleforinformingVERIZONofanylifelinedataservices(e.g.heartmonitor),which may be being provided over the high frequency portion of theloop,that would preclude any such strap-through activity by VERIZON..
2.11.4 VERIZON shall not consider installation of line-sharing to be complete untilSPRINThasaffirmativelyacceptedtheinstallation.VERIZON shall test the highfrequencyportionoftheloopforcoppercontinuityandforpairbalancepriortocompletingtheinstallation.Once VERIZON completes such testing and obtainspassingresults,VERIZON shall inform CLEC that VERIZON believestheinstallationhasbeenproperlyperformed.At this point,SPRINT shall eitheracceptthelinewithoutconductingitsowntesting,or shall conduct its own test ofthelinesharedloop.If CLEC conducts its own testing and the resultsdemonstratethattheline-shared loop is capable of being used to provide DSLservices,CLEC shall accept the line-shared loop from VERIZON.If CLECconductsitsowntestingandtheresultsdemonstratethattheline-shared loop isnotcapableofbeingusedtoprovideDSLservices,CLEC may refuse to accept
