or other litigation.Nothing in this Resale Attachment supplements or amends VERIZON's ResaleTariffScheduleCAL.P.U.C.No.K-5.SPRINT may also purchase services from VERIZON
pursuant to Schedule Cal.P.U.C.No.A-16;such services may be ordered by SPRINT in bulk,
and may be billed to SPRINT.
Sprint may purchase at a discount and on a stand-alone basis (meaning Sprint is not required to
be the service provider for the underlying associated dial tone)any or all Vertical Features and
services offered at retail by Verizon to its end users pursuant to Section 251(c)(4)of the Act and
CFR 51.605(a).Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,the Parties will work together to
develop standardized ordering guidelines for Call Forwarding Custom Calling Services listed in

AbrENDIX A TO THE RESALE ATTACHMEi..
SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR RESALE
General.The rates,terms,and conditions for Resale are set forth in VERIZON's Resale Tariff Schedule
Cal.P.U.C.No.K-5 and are subject to change resulting from future Commission or other proceedings,
including but not limited to any generic proceeding to determine VERIZON's unrecovered costs (e.g.,historic costs,contribution,undepreciated reserve deficiency,or similar unrecovered VERIZON costs(including VERIZON's interim Universal Service Support Surcharge)),the establishment of a
competitively neutral universal service system,or any appeal or other litigation.
Interim Universal Service Charge.It is VERIZON's position that VERIZON's current intraLATA toll rates
include implicit subsidies that support below-cost prices for other services and thus promote universal
service.This universal service support is lost where a CLEC resells VERIZON's local service but does
not resell VERIZON's intraLATA toll service.For this reason,VERIZON contends it should not be
required to resell basic exchange residential or business sentices unless SPRINT pays the monthly
interim universal service support charge set forth in Appendix A.VERIZON believes that this interim
surcharge is required by state and federal law.The lawfulness of VERIZON's interim surcharge is being
addressed (or will be addressed)by the Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction.The parties
agree that VERIZON will offer for resale basic exchange residential and business services at the avoided -
cost discount rate set forth in Appendix A without the interim surcharge,but subject to the following terms
and conditions:
A.SPRINT agrees that,if an order by the Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction
affirming VERIZON's interim surcharge is issued during the term of this Agreement,
Sprint shall,within thirty (30)days after the effective date of such order (i)begin paying
the monthlý interim surcharge in accord with Appendix C,and (ii)make a lump sumpaymenttoVERIZONofthetotalinterimsurchargesretroactivetotheeffectivedate of
this Agreement.VERIZON further expressly reserves its right to seek retroactive true-up
from Sprint of such interim surcharges under this Agreement in the event the
Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction issues an order affirming VERIZON's
interim surcharge after the expiration of this Agreement.
B.Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement,VERIZON reserves the right to,at its
sole discretion and at any time,seek injunctive or other relief (i)requiring SPRINT to payVERIZON's interim surcharge or (ii)requiring the Commission to immediately impose the
interim surcharge.
C.Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or impair VERIZON from seeking injunctive relief
or any other remedy at any time and in any court regarding VERIZON's interim surcharge
or the Commission's rejection or modification of VERIZON's interim surcharge.

abovo may be directly connected to SPRINT faclaues or to a third-party's facilitiesdesignatedbySPRINTtotheextenttechnicallyfeasible.Direct access to loops,subloop,port and local switching,and dedicated transport,that terminates in aVERIZONpremise,must be accomplished via a collocation arrangement in thatpremise.In circumstances where collocation cannot be accomplished in thepremises,the Parties agree to negotiate for possible alternative arrangements.Removal of existing cable pairs required for SPRINT to connect service is theresponsibilityofSPRINT.
4.5.2 NID.In order to minimize adverse effects to VERIZON's network,the followingproceduresshallapplyregardingNIDconnection:
4.5.2.1 When connecting its own loop facility directly to VERIZON's NID for aresidenceorbusinessCustomer,SPRINT must make a clean cut on theVERIZONdropwireattheNIDsothatnobarewireisexposed.SPRINTshallnotremoveordisconnectVERIZON's drop wire from the NID ortakeanyotheractionthatmightcauseVERIZON's drop wire to be leftlyingontheground.
4.5.2.2 At multi-tenant Customer locations,SPRINT must remove the jumperwirefromthedistributionblock(i.e.,the NID)to the VERIZON cableterminationblock.If SPRINT cannot gain access to the cableterminationblock,SPRINT must make a clean cut at the closest point tothecableterminationblock.At SPRINT's request and discretion,VERIZON will determine the cable pair to be removed at the NID in multi-tenant locations.SPRINT will compensate VERIZON for the trip chargenecessarytoidentifythecablepairtoberemoved.
4.5.2.3 VERIZON loop elements leased by SPRINT will be required to terminateonlyonaVERIZONNID.If SPRINT leasing a VERIZON loop wants toconnectsuchlooptoaSPRINTNID,SPRINT also will be required toleaseaVERIZONNID(included in the loop rate)for the direct loopterminationandeffectaNID-to-NID cross connection.
4.5.2.4 Rather than connecting its own loop directly to VERIZON's NID,SPRINTalsomayelecttoinstallitsownNIDandeffectaNID-to-NID crossconnectiontogainaccesstotheCustomer's inside wiring.
4.5.2.5 If SPRINT provides its own loop facilities,SPRINT may elect to move allinsidewireterminatedonaVERIZONNIDtooneprovidedbySPRINT.In this instance,a NID-to-NID cross connection will not be required.SPRINT,or the Customer's premise owner,can elect to leave thedisconnectedVERIZONNIDinplace,or to remove the VERIZON NIDfromthepremisesanddisposeofitentirely.
4.5.2.6 VERIZON agrees to offer its NIDs to SPRINT for lease,but not for sale.Therefore,SPRINT may remove VERIZON identification from anyVERIZONNIDtowhichitconnectsaSPRINTloop,but SPRINT shall notplaceitsownidentificationonsuchNID.
4.5.2.7 VERIZON shall have the right to deny any access by SPRINT toVERIZON's NID when SPRINT provides its own loop.

4.7.1.5 When SPRINT provides its own loop and connects directly toVERIZON's NID,VERIZON does not have the capability to performroutinemaintenance.SPRINT can perform routine maintenance via itsloopandinformVERIZONoncethetroublehasbeenisolatedtotheVERIZONNIDandVERIZONwillrepair(or replace)the NID,or,atSPRINT's option,effect a NID-to-NID cross connection,using theVERIZONNIDðnlytogainaccesstotheinsidewireattheCustomerlocation.
4.7.1.6 Repair of any UNE loop will consist of bringing the loop to the standardsidentifiedbytheNC/NCl codes provided on the original LSR.TheNC/NCl codes will be translated into the standard special services IDcode,which provides the VERIZON technician specifications of theservicelevelrequiredoftheUNEloop.
4.7.2 Coordinated Testing.At Sprint's request,upon issuance of the LSR,and asspecifiedtherein,VERIZON will conduct coordinated testing of unbundled loopswithSPRINTuponcompletionoftheinstallation.The VERIZON technician willworkwiththeSPRINTcentertotestthenewlyinstalledloop,which may includetheplacingandremovingofshortstoallowSPRINTtotesttheline.VERIZONwillcontactSPRINTwhenthelooporderiscompletedbycallingthetollfree(e.g.,800/888)telephone number specified on tlie order.It is agreed that aftercallingtheSPRINT800/888 telephone number the VERIZON technician will notremainonholdforlongerthanfiveminutes,and the VERIZON technician will notberequiredtospendmorethan15minutesperformingcooperativetestingonanysingleloop.Once Sprint determines that the loop meets the technicalrequirementsforanunbundledloop,Sprint will provide VERIZON with aconfirmationnumberandVERIZONwillcompletetheorder.VERIZON willperformrepairandmaintenanceontroubleidentifiedtobeinVERIZON'snetwork.
VERIZON will not perform routine testing of the unbundled loop for maíntenancepurposes.Sprint will be required to provision a loop testing device either in itscentraloffice(switch location),Operations Center,or in its collocationarrangementtotesttheunbundledloop.
4.8 Subloops.
SPRINT is responsible for all engineering requirements when provisioning service to anenduserviaSubloopUNEs.VERIZON does not guarantee,nor is it responsible for,theend-to-end performance of the entire loop when VERIZON provides only a portion of theloop.Furthermore,VERIZON is responsible for maintenance on only the portion of theloopelementthatVERIZONprovides.VERIZON will provide all Subloop UNEs toSPRINTinthesamemannerasVERIZONprovidessuchelementstoitselfperexistingVERIZONinterfacespecifications,maintenance and administrative policies.
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 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 services 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 wa..a is billed to a telephone number other th,she originating 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 agreedtoforservicespurchased,and SPRINT will be compensated by the billingcompanyfortherevenueduetoSPRINT.When a non-VERIZON entity providesoperatorservicestotheVERIZONCentralOfficeSwitchfromwhichtheresalelineorUNEportisprovisioned,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.OnUNEportaccounts,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 measuringterminatinglocalcalls,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 component.SPRINT agrees to follow applicable industry standards for the meet-point billing ofswitchedaccessusageasdefinedinMECAB.
6.Intellectual Propedy Matters.
The Parties acknowledge that the determination of whether intellectual property rights areimplicatedbySPRINT'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 orCombination,VERIZON shall use its best efforts to assist SPRINT in acquiring such rights.AnycostsassociatedwithacquiringsuchrightsshallbeallocatedamongSPRINTandallrequestingcarriers,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 thisrightfromthevendor.
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 (CCDocketNos.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 linesplittingcapability,CLECs may utilize existing supporting OSS to order and combine in a line

DSLAM equipment provided by a participating CLEC,unbundled switching combined with shared
transport,collocator-to-collocator connections,and available cross-connects,under the terms andconditionssetforthintheirInterconnectionAgreement(s).The participating CLECs shall provide
any 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 arrangement may do so consistent with such implementation
schedules,terms,conditions and guidelines as are agreed upon for such migrations in theongoingDSLCollaborativeintheStateofNewYork,NY PSC Case 00-C-0127,allowing for local
jurisdictional and OSS differences.

1.1 Description of Service.The Administrative Law Judge's Ruling on Line Sharing issuedonMay26,2000 in Rulemaking 93-04-003 and Investigation 93-04-002 (the "ALJRuling")required VERIZON (then known as "GTE")to make the Line Sharing UNEserviceofferingunderthetermsandconditionssetforthinthisAppendixC.ForpurposesofthisAgreement,line sharing is access to the high frequency portion of theloopnetworkelement,which is defined as the frequency range above the voiceband on acopperloopfacilitythatisbeingusedbyVERIZONtocarryanalogcircuit-switchedvoicebandtransmissions.VERIZON shall provide line sharing to the SPRINT on anondiscriminatorybasisforuseonlyintheprovisionoftelecommunicationsservice inaccordancewith,and subject to,the terms and conditions of this Agreement andApplicableLaw.
1.2 Basic Requirements.The following requirements shall serve as conditions to VERIZON'sobligationtoprovidelinesharinghereunder:
1.2.1 Line sharing will be permitted for any ADSL or voice compatible xDSL ("DSL")technologies that do not significantly degrade other advanced services ortraditionalvoicebandservices,including without limitation Asymmetric DigitalSubscriberLine("ADSL"),Rate-Adaptive ADSL,and Multiple Virtual Lines.Asadditionaltechnologiesthatmaybecompatiblewithexistingservicesonaloopbecomeavailable,the parties will address their possible deployment,consistentwiththerequirementsofFCCRules51.230,51.233 and paragraphs 201-205 oftheLineSharingOrder.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

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 reasonablearrangementdesignedtofacilitatethedevelopmentofsuchstandardsandprocesses
and to document the same for purposes of this Agreement,as necessary andappropriate.
1.6 Customer Education.VERIZON and SPRINT shall make end-users aware of thefollowingconditionsandrequirements:
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 DSLservice.
1.6.2 The end-user's line shared DSL service is dependent on its Voice Service.IfthereisaproblemwiththephysicallinethatcausestheVoiceServicetobeinoperative,the end-user may also be unable to use DSL services for someperiodoftime.
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 thesharedlinearecancelledorterminatedforanyreason.
2.Operations Matters.
2.1 Copper Network.Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2,VERIZON shall provide
line sharing to SPRINT utilizing an all-copper pair between an end-user customerdemarcationlocationandthemaindistributionframeinVERIZON'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 collocationarrangement.
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 theordersrenderedintheInterimArbitration,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 thisconfigurationforinitiallinesharinginthecentralofficesthatVERIZONcommits 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 ce al,do not occur)as set forth on Exhibit 1 .ached hereto.For those
central offices that VERIZON cannot commit to have fully operational with a VERIZON-
owned splitter on or before June 6,2000,SPRINT may choose to deploy its own splitter
as described in Option No.1 below.VERIZON shall provide SPRINT with written notice
in the event that Exhibit 1 needs to be revised due to unforeseen delays or other
circumstances beyond VERIZON's reasonable control.For any central office in which
SPRINT chooses to install its own splitter,VERIZON agrees to install any additional tie
cables required by SPRINT,in accordance with,and subject to,the terms of collocation
set forth in this Agreement and/or applicable VERIZON tariffs.Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein,any splitter installed by SPRINT or VERIZON shall:(1)comply with
ANSI T1E1 standards and VERIZON NEBS policy for collocators;(2)employ 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
(3)be designed so that the analog voice "dial tone"stays active when the splitter card is
removed for testing or maintenance.
2.3.1 Option No.1:CLEC Owned Splitter Located in the Collocation Arrangement of
SPRINT.SPRINT may choose to obtain the splitter directly and place the splitter
in its collocation arrangement.SPRINT shall purchase and own the splitter.
Under this option,both the non-SPRINT voice traffic and the SPRINT-provided
DSL services will arrive at the SPRINT collocation arrangement via a tie cable
obtained from VERIZON.At the collocation arrangement,the tie cable will
terminate at the splitter,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 Wire
Center Controlled Exclusively by VERIZON.SPRINT may choose to have
VERIZON purchase and own the splitter and locate the splitter in an area in the
serving wire center to which SPRINT does not have access (e.g.,on or as close
to the main distribution frame as practical).Said splitter shall be installed in any
of the following locations within the central office,at VERIZON's discretion--the
main distribution frame,in a relay rack mounted arrangement or intermediate
frame arrangement.In this scenario,SPRINT shall obtain the splitter
functionality on an individual "port-at-a-time"basis.VERIZON shall perform all
maintenance and repair work (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 splitter
to SPRINT's collocation arrangement.Under this Option,VERIZON shall provide
to SPRINT loop and splitter functionality that is compatible with any transmission
technology that SPRINT seeks to deploy using the high frequency portion of the
loop,provided that such transmission technology is presumed to be deployable
pursuant to FCC Rule 51.230.
2.3.3 Option No.3:CLEC Owned Splitter Located in an Area of the Serving Wire
Center Controlled Exclusively by VERIZON Via Virtual Collocation.VERIZON
shall offer SPRllüT an additional option under which it may choose to purchase
and own the splitter and have it located via a virtual collocation arrangement in
an area in the serving wire center to which SPRINT does not have access.In
this scenario,SPRINT shall obtain the splitter functionality on a "shelf at-a-time"
basis.VERIZON shall perform all maintenance and repair work.SPRINT shall
receive its DSL traffic via a tie cable obtained from VERIZON,running from the
main distribution frame to the virtually collocated splitter and then from the splitter
to SPRINT's collocation arrangement.VERIZON shall offer SPRINT virtual
collocation under this Option in accordance with the terms of the VERIZON
federal collocation tariff (FCC Tariff No.1),provided,however,that for purposes
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 117
of t.Agreement,the Parties shall treat the tano rates applied to the virtualcollocationofasplitterasinterim,and subject to true-up,in accordance with thetermsoutlinedinSection3.1.During the sixty (60)day period following theeffectivedateofthisAppendix,the Parties agree to cooperate in the negotiationanddevelopmentofanytermsnecessanjtoimplementvirtualcollocationforlinesharing.Any interim rates established pursuant to such negotiation shall besubjecttotrue-up in accordance with the terms outlined in Section 3.1.
2.4 Collocation.VERIZON will revise collocation applications to include requests forinformationregardinglinesharingequipment.SPRINT will specify its requirements forlinesharingonthecollocationapplicationforthatcentraloffice.If SPRINT's collocationapplicationisaccepted,VERIZON will make the office ready for line sharing during theintervalapplicabletoSPRINT's request for collocation.VERIZON shall complete theinstallationandprovisioningofanytiecableorderedbyCLECinaccordancewith,andsubjectto,the terms of collocation set forth in this Agreement and/or applicableVERIZONtariffs.VERIZON shall process all SPRINT applications and firm orders foraugmentingitscollocationarrangementstouselinesharinginaccordancewith,andsubjectto,the terms of collocation set forth in this Agreement and/or applicableVERIZONtariffs.
2.5 Transport.VERIZON shall make available to SPRINT interoffice transport to transport itshighfrequencytrafficbetweenitscollocationarrangementintheservingwirecenteranditspoint-of-presence,node,or collocation arrangement in a different wire center inaccordancewith,and subject to,the terms of this Agreement and/or applicable VERIZONtariffs.
2.6 End-User Premise Equipment.SPRINT must provide the end-user with,and isresponsiblefortheinstallationof,a modem,splitter,filter(s)and/or other equipmentnecessaryattheend-user premise to receive separate Voice Services and DSL servicesacrossthesameloop.SPRINT is also responsible for the installation and maintenance ofsuchequipment.SPRINT shall determine the necessary customer premises equipment.
2.7 Pre-ordering.During pre-ordering,VERIZON shall provide CLEC with nondiscriminatoryaccesstotheLoopMakeupInformationrequiredbyFCCRule51.319(g)including,butnotlimitedto,the following:
2.7.1 The composition of the available loop material (including without limitation fiberopticsandcopper);
2.7.2 The existence,location and type of electronic or other equipment on the loop(including without limitation DLC or other remote concentration devices,feeder/distribution interfaces,bridged taps,load coils,pair gain devices,repeaters,remote switching units,range extenders,AMI T-1s in the same oradjacentbindergroups,and other potential disturbers);
2.7.3 Loop length,including the segment length and location of each type oftransmissionmedia;
2.7.4 Loop length by wire gauge;and
2.7.5 The electrical parameters of the loop.
As of the effective date of this Appendix,VERIZON shall provide the above informationviaaWEBGUI.As soon as possible,VERIZON shall enable SPRINT to access all LoopMakeupinformationavailabletoitselfortoitsaffiliatescontainedinanysystem,
251/252 FINAL AGREEMENT 118
database,or ard consistent with the requirements set ...1 in the FCC Rules and
Orders.
2.8 Ordering.As of the effective date of this Appendix,VERIZON shall enable SPRINT to
perform all ordering functions via a real-time,electronic interface,as soon as possibleaftertheintedacebecomesavailable.Until such time as a real-time,electronic interface
is made available to SPRINT by VERIZON,VERIZON shall enable SPRINT to order linesharing,or the conditioning of lines,via a Web GUl.The Parties will cooperate in the
development and deployment of these processes and systems to better facilitate line
sharing.
2.9 Provisioning.VERIZON will work cooperatively with SPRINT to prioritize the order and
timeframe in which VERIZON will complete deployment of POTS splitters and otherequipmentnecessarytoprovisionlinesharinginVERIZON's offices where SPRINT is
currently collocated or where collocation is in the process of being provisioned capable of
supporting shared lines.After this Appendix becomes effective,for offices where
SPRINT notifies VERIZON of its intent to deploy line sharing,it must provide a rolling six
(6)month forecast of line sharing orders,which is updated every three (3)months.
These forecasts will be utilized to assist the Parties in the more efficient provisioning of
line sharing,but shall not be binding on either Party.These forecasts will be treated as
confidential information pursuant to the Agreement and shall be used by VERIZON solely
for wholesale capacity planning purposes.As soon as a central office has the splitter
installed.VERIZON will begin accepting orders for lines served by that office.VERIZON
will initially provision line sharing within its current standard DSL retail provisioningintervalsforunconditioned(five (5)business days)and conditioned loops (eleven
(11)business days).The Parties acknowledge that these intervals are subject to change
based on systems mechanization,changes in Applicable Law (including,without
limitation new OSS requirements),order volumes and other agreed upon procedures that
better facilitate line sharing,provided,however,that such intervals shall remain at parity
with VERIZON's DSL retail provisioning intervals,as provided in Commission Docket
R.9710-016 and I.97-10-017.
2.10 Conditioning.*CLEC may order conditioning of shared lines,which may involve:(a)the
removal of bridge taps,filter,extenders and load coils;(b)a line and station transfer;
and/or (c)Digital Added Main Line (DAML)(consistent with the provisions of section 2.13
of this Agreement).VERIZON will perform loop conditioning if the loop loss for voice
services is less than -8.OdB.Conditioning will not be provided in circumstances where
such conditioning significantly degrades other advanced services or traditional voice
band services as provided and described in FCC Rules 51.230,51.233 and paragraphs
85,86 and 201-205 of the Line Sharing Order.
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 to
the test head,e.g.the physical loop test access point at the splitter,twenty-four
hours a day,seven days a week.VERIZON shall provide CLECs with
equivalent electronic access to any testing functionality which VERIZON and/or
VERIZON's affiliates utilize to provide DSL services.For example,VERIZON will
provide CLECs remote test access via its Wholesale Internet Service Engine
("WISE")website (http://www.gte.com/wise)4-Tel loop testing mechanism.
VERIZON is responsible for all testing of facilities and equipment terminated to
its main distribution frame and SPRINT is responsible for all testing of facilities
located within its collocation space.VERIZON reserves the right to seek access
to SPRINT's collocation space to conduct reasonably necessary testing,repairs
or maintenance when SPRINT owns the splitter,as provided under Option No.1
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 119
of Secuan 2.3 above.For line sharing testing purposes (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 repairing
its DSL services and any end user related DSL component at the end-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 isresponsibleforallrepairandmaintenanceoffacilitiesandequipmentterminated
to its main distribution frame and SPRINT is responsible for all repair andmaintenanceoffacilitieslocatedwithinitscollocationspace.Where VERIZON
owns the splitter and does not provide SPRINT with access to the splitter,
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 maintenance that will significantly impact the service provided by theotherparty.VERIZON and SPRINTs will work together to diagnose and resolve
any troubles reported by the end-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 the
end-user.Where VERIZON has isolated a trouble with the Voice Service to be in
SPRINT provided equipment,VERIZON shall notify SPRINT and SPRINT will berequiredtoclearthetroubleassociatedwiththeVERIZONlifelinevoicesemices.
Where such troubles are not cleared within 3 hours,VERIZON will strap-through
the voice service on the VERIZON main distribution frame,isolating SPRINTequipmentfromtheVERIZONloopfacility.This strap-through arrangement shall
be limited in duration to the time necessary to repair the trouble.SPRINT is
responsible for informing VERIZON of any life line data services (e.g.heart
monitor),which may be being provided over the high frequency portion of the
loop,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 high
frequency portion of the loop for copper continuity and for pair balance prior to
completing the installation.Once VERIZON completes such testing and obtains
passing results,VERIZON shall inform CLEC that VERIZON believes the
installation has been properly performed.At this point,SPRINT shall either
accept the line without conducting its own testing,or shall conduct its own test of
the line shared loop.If CLEC conducts its own testing and the results
demonstrate that the line-shared loop is capable of being used to provide DSLservices,CLEC shall accept the line-shared loop from VERIZON.If CLEC
conducts its own testing and the results demonstrate that the line-shared loop is
not capable of being used to provide DSL services,CLEC may refuse to accept
251/252 FINALAGREEMENT 120
the li ,and may instead open a trouble ticket.buon a trouble ticket shall not beplacedinthegeneralpopulationofmaintenanceandrepairtroubletickets,butrathershallremainaninstallationproblem.Until the problem is resolved to thesatisfactionoftheParties,the installation will be deemed by the parties to be anincomplete,failed installation.
2.12 End-Users with Burglar Alarm Systems.The Parties acknowledge that the highfrequenciesassociatedwithDSLcancauseinterferencewithsomeburglaralarmsystems,resulting in false alarms,or in some instances,impair the alarm system to thepointthatitbecomesinoperative.To mitigate these issues,for DSL customers withburglaralarmsystems,VERIZON generally takes the following preventive actions:(a)where the burglar alarm system interfaces the inside wiring of the customer premise viaanRJi1jack,VERIZON places a micro-filter between the burglar alarm dial-up unit andtheinsidewiring;and (b)where the burglar alarm system is "hard-wired"to the insidewiringatthecustomerpremises,VERIZON places a splitter to isolate the high frequencydatasignalsfromtheburglaralarmsystemdial-up unit.When SPRINT provides linesharingservicestoanend-user,SPRINT shall be required to inquire and to determinewhethertheend-user customer has a burglar alarm system.For customers with burglaralarmsystems,SPRINT is responsible for taking the necessary preventive actions toensurethattheend-user's burglar alarm system remains operative and the highfrequenciesassociatedwithlinesharingservicesdonotinterferewithitsoperation.
2.13 DAML Removal.Upon SPRINT request,VERIZON shall be required to remove a DigitalAddedMainLine("DAML")when the DAML is used to serve a single end-user and thatend-user agrees to the removal.SPRINT shall be obligated to obtain consent from theend-user prior to requesting such DAML removal.Said consent shall evidence that theend-user knowingly and voluntarily agrees to the discontinuation of any and all servicesassociatedwiththeadditionallineswhichshallbeterminatedasaresultofsuchDAMLremoval.SPRINT is only obligated to obtain said consent so long as VERIZON obtainsthesameconsentforitsownend-users.
3.Financial Matters.
3.1 Interim Pricing.The rates and charg3eS for line sharing services provided pursuant to thisAgreementaresetforthonExhibit2.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to thecontrary,these rates and charges are interim pending the outcome of the Commission'srateproceedingregardinglinesharingintheOANADproceeding.VERIZON asserts thatVERIZON's interim pricing proposal does not reflect all the costs associated with linesharingforallconfigurations(e.g.,the costs associated with collaborative testing,costsassociatedwithOSS-related implementation costs,DAML removal,etc.).VERIZON willpresentthesecostsandseekrecoveryforthem(including a retroactive true-up)in theOANADlinesharingphase.To the extent that the OANAD line sharing rates forVERIZON(the "OANAD Line Sharing Rates"),or the terms and conditions for applicationoftheOANADLineSharingRates,are different than specified in this Section,theOANADRateswillbeappliedprospectivelypendingtheissuanceofafinal,binding andnon-appealable order.Upon the issuance of such an order,the OANAD Rates will beappliedretroactivelytotheeffectivedateofthisAgreement.The Parties will true up anyresultingoverorunderbilling.Any underpayment shall be paid,and any overpayment
shall be refunded,within forty-five (45)business days after the date on which the OANADLineSharingRateorderbecomesfinal,binding and non-appealable.Such true-up
Collocation is a prerequisite to line sharing.SPRINT must first collocate digital subscriber line access multiplexer
(DSLAM)equipment and splitters (under Option No.1 described in Section 2.3)in VERIZON's central office and order applicable tiecablesinconnectiontherewith.The applicable conditions,rates,and charges for satisfying these collocation requirements arecontainedwithinthecollocationprovisionsoftheAgreementandareseparatefromtheinterimlinesharingratesandchargesproposedherein.

3.2 Nonwaiver.The Parties do not waive,and hereby expressly reserve,their rights to assert
or continue to assert that certain of the rates,charges or terms established in OANAD or
any other proceeding (including,without limitation,the OANAD Line Sharing Rates)areunlawful,illegal and improper.The Parties further expressly reserve their past,present
and future rights to challenge and seek review of any and all such rates,charges or terms
in any court or commission of competent jurisdiction or other available forum.Such
terms,rates or charges are further subject to change and/or modification resulting fromfutureordersordecisionsofanycommission,court or other governmental authorityhavingcompetentjurisdictionthataddressthefollowing:(a)VERIZON's costs (e.g.,
actual costs,contribution,undepreciated reserve deficiency,or similar VERIZON costs(including VERIZON's interim universal service support charge));(b)the establishment of
a competitively neutral universal service system;(c)any and all actions seeking toinvalidate,stay,vacate or otherwise modify any FCC order in effect as of the effective
date,or during the term,of this Agreement which impact such terms,rates and/orcharges,including,without limitation,the matters described in Section 1.4;or (d)anyotherrelevantappealorlitigation.If any such rates,charges and/or terms are adjusted
or otherwise modified,in whole or in part,in the OANAD proceeding or in any otherproceeding,then this Agreement shall be deemed to have been automatically amended,
and such amendment shall be effective upon the date of the applicable order.Suchadjustedormodifiedratesandchargeswillbeappliedprospectivelypendingtheissuanceofafinal,binding and non-appealable order in the subject proceeding.At such
time as the applicable order becomes final,binding and non-appealable,the adjusted ormodifiedratesandchargesestablishedthereinshallbeappliedretroactivelytotheeffectivedateoftheamendmenttothisAgreementregardinglinesharing.The Parties
will true-up any resulting over or under billing in accordance with the requirements of
Section 3.1.The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section shall survive thetermination,rescission,modification or expiration of this Agreement without limit as to
time.The Parties acknowledges that either Party may seek to enforce the provisions of
this Section before a commission or court of competent jurisdiction.
3.3 Loop Costs.In developing its interim prices set forth in Section 3.1,VERIZON did not
include any direct loop costs.VERIZON's pricing methodology,however,is premised on
the assumption that VERIZON will be afforded an opportunity to recover all its actual
costs -including the total actual cost of the loop -in prices for services and in explicituniversalservicesupport.If VERIZON cannot recover all its costs,then VERIZON's
pricing methodology must change and VERIZON resentes the right to require such a
change.Also,VERIZON does not agree with the FCC's UNE pricing rules,which do notallowpricestobebasedonanILEC's actual costs or opportunity costs.The Court ofAppealsfortheEighthCircuitisconsideringthesubstantivevalidityoftheFCC's pricing
rules,and VERIZON reserves its right to change its prices if the court stays,vacates,ormodifiestheFCC's rules.
3.4 Billing.Billing for line sharing will be handled via the VERIZON CBSS system,consistent
with the billing for UNE loops.
Collocation is a prerequisite to line sharing.SPRINT must first collocate digitalsubscriberlineaccessmultiplexer(DSLAM)equipment and splitters (under Option No.1describedinSection2.3)in VERIZON's central office and order applicable tie cables in
connection therewith.The applicable conditions,rates,and charges for satisfying thesecollocationrequirementsarecontainedwithinthecollocationprovisionsoftheAgreement
and are separate from the interim line sharing rates and charges proposed herein.

rates,terms,and conditions contained in VERIZON's applicable tariffs,
except as provided in the Collocation Attachment.
2.3.1.3 A special access arrangement terminating at a VERIZON Wire Center.
2.3.2 The Parties will mutually designate at least one IP on VERIZON's network within
each LATA for the exchange of Local Traffic.As specified in section 2.4.2.2 of
this Attachment,Sprint may establish additional routing point(s)through the
establishment of trunk groups provisioned over dedicated facilities between the
IP and additional VERIZON switches.
2.4 Trunking Requirements.
In accordance with Article I,Section 3.4,it will be necessary for the Parties to have met
and agreed on trunking availability and requirements in order for the Parties to begin
exchange of traffic.
2.4.1 Switching Center Trunking.The Parties agree to establish trunk groups of
sufficient capacity from the interconnecting facilities such that trunking is
available to any switching center designated by either Party,including end
offices,tandems,911 routing switches,and directory assistanceloperator service
switches.The Parties will mutually agree where one-way or two-way trunking will
be available.The Parties may use two-way trunks for delivery of Local Traffic or
either Party may elect to provision its own one-way trunks for delivery of Local
Traffic to the other Party.If a Party elects to provision its own one-way trunks,
that Party will be responsible for its own expenses associated with the trunks.
SPRINT and VERIZON shall,where applicable,make reciprocally
available,by mutual agreement,the required trunk groups to handle
different traffic types.SPRINT and VERIZON will support the provisioning
of trunk groups that carry combined or separate Local Traffic,intraLATA
toll and optional EAS traffic.Sprint will establish separate trunk groups,to
