Appendix A to this Attachment 2 may contain rates and charges for (and/or reference) services, facilities, arrangements and the like that Verizon does not have an obligation to provide under the Agreement (e., services, facilities, arrangements and the like for which an unbundling requirement does not exist under 47 U.C. Section 251(c)(3)). Notwithstanding any such rates and/or charges (and/or references) and for the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in this Amendment shall be deemed to require Verizon to provide such a service, facility, arrangement or the like that the Agreement does not otherwise require Verizon to provide, or to provide such a service, facility, arrangement or the like upon terms or conditions other than those that may be required by the Agreement. From the Effective Date through May 31 , 2008, the discount rates applicable to the services that Verizon is required to make available to AT&T for resale pursuant to the Interconnection Agreements or Applicable Law shall be those discount rates set forth in Appendix B to this Attachment 2, notwithstanding any other resale discount rates that may go into effect in a particular state, whether by virtue of a change of law or pursuant to a tariff filed by Verizon. For the avoidance of doubt, this Amendment does not affect which services Verizon is obligated to provide to AT&T for resale under the Interconnection Agreements or Applicable Law, but only the discount rate at which Verizon makes any such resale service available under Section 251 (c)( 4) of the Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Atllendment, fuiY applicable tfu-iff or SGA T, or otherwise, the terms contaiIled herein shall govern the relationship of the Parties with respect to the subject matter set forth herein, through May 31 , 2008, and thereafter as well until such time as such terms are superseded by a subsequent Interconnection Agreement or Interconnection Agreement amendment effective after May 31 2008. In case of the expiration or termination of an Interconnection Agreement prior to May 31 , 2008, the terms contained herein shall nevertheless continue to remain in effect through May 31, 2008 and thereafter until such time as such terms are superseded by a subsequent Interconnection Agreement effective after May 31 2008.

(b) If any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2( a) above are not satisfied as of the Effective Date (or in the case of another carrier adopting any of the Interconnection Agreements, as of the effective date of any such adoption), then compensation for ISP-Bound Traffic and Local Traffic exchanged between the Parties shall be governed by the following terms: (i) ISP-Bound Traffic shall be subject to "bill and keep" (i.e., zero compensation); and (ii) Verizon s then-prevailing reciprocal compensation rates in each particular service territory (as set forth in Verizon s standard price schedules, as amended) shall apply to Local Traffic exchanged between the Parties. For purposes of the preceding sentence only, all Local Traffic and ISP- Bound, Traffic above a 3: 1 ratio e~chan~b~~~!1_!!Ie Parties under an Interconnection Agreement shall be considered to be ISP-Bound Traffic (except in Massachusetts, where a 2:1 ratio, instead of a 3: 1 ratio, shall apply). Unitarv Rate for ISP-Bound Traffic and Local Traffic (a) Except as otherwise set forth in Sections 4 5 or 6, commencing on the Effective Date, and continuing prospectively for the applicable time periods described below (the Amendment Term ), when ISP-Bound Traffic or Local Traffic is originated by a Party's End User on that Party's network (the "Originating Party") and delivered to the other Party (the Receiving Party ) for delivery to an End User of the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party shall bill and the Originating Party shall pay intercarrier compensation at the following equal symmetrical rates (individually and collectively, the "Unitary Rate AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 7 (11/01/04) 0005 per minute of use ("MOU") for traffic exchanged beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31 , 2004; 00045 per MOU for traffic exchanged beginning January 1 , 2005 and ending on December 31 2005; 0004 per MOU for traffic exchanged beginning January 1 , 2006 and ending on December 31 , - 2006 (or ending on a later date if and, to the extent that, this Amendment remains in effect (as set forth in Sections 9 and 10 below) after December 31 , 2006); provided, however that if for any calendar quarter during the Amendment Term the ratio of MOU s, calculated on an aggregated basis across all jurisdictions, of (i) all traffic subject to the Unitary Rate under this Amendment that is originated on the networks of the Verizon Parties and delivered to the AT&T Parties, to (ii) all traffic subject to the Unitary Rate under this Amendment that is originated on the networks of the AT&T Parties and delivered to the Verizon Parties (the "Aggregated Traffic Ratio ), is greater than five (5) to one (1), then the Unitary Rate applicable to all such traffic above a five (5) to one (1) Aggregated Traffic Ratio shall be zero (i. , " bill and keep ), and the then-applicable Unitary Rate shall continue to apply to all such traffic up to and including a five (5) to one (1) Aggregated Traffic Ratio. For the purpose calculating the Aggregated Traffic Ratio, and only for that purpose, MOUs of Local Traffic and ISP-Bound Traffic exchanged between AT&T End Users served via UNE-P lines provided by Verizon to AT&T ("AT&T UNE-P lines ) and Verizon End Users (including End Users of a Verizon reseller) shall be included in such calculation; in such case, the calculation of MOUs terminated on AT&T UNE-P lines shall be based on the total MOUs originated by such AT&T UNE-P lines (i., the Parties shall assume, for this purpose only, a 1:1 ratio between MOUs originating on, and terminating to, such UNE-P lines). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt for the purpose of calculating the Aggregated Traffic Ratio , " traffic subject to the Unitary Rate under this Amendment" shall also include VOIP Traffic until such time (if any) as the FCC issues the FCC VOIP Order referred to in Section 5(b) and rules that access charges apply to VOIP Traffic. ------ -- .., - - .. -,--,- -- -,- - - ---'-- ___m --._-- -,-,---_._--,_..,---~-- --,.. (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above: (i) for those geographic areas that, as of the Effective Date oftbis Amendment, are subject to an Interconnection Agreement between the Parties providing that Local Traffic (or the definitional equivalent thereto) within such geographic areas is to be exchanged on a "bill & keep" basis, the Unitary Rate for purposes of this Amendment shall be deemed to be zero ($0.00) for the duration of the Amendment Term; and (ii) for those geographic areas that, as of the Effective Date ofthis Amendment, are not subject to existing Interconnection Agreements between the Parties, the Unitary Rate for purposes of this Amendment shall be deemed to be zero ($0.00) for the duration of the Amendment Term. ,------ (c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the Parties are unable to agree, for purposes of creating a uniform rating methodology under this Amendment, whether V /FX Traffic AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 8 (11/01104) that is not ISP-Bound Traffic should be treated like toll traffic that is subject to switched access charges, like Local Traffic subject to the Unitary Rate, or in some other manner. Therefore, the Parties agree that V /FX Traffic that is not ISP-Bound Traffic shall continue to be governed by the treatment accorded such traffic under the terms of the existing Interconnection Agreements between the Parties as in effect prior to this Amendment; provided, however, to the extent such Interconnection Agreements subject V /FX Traffic that is not ISP-Bound Traffic to reciprocal compensation, such traffic shall instead be subject to the Unitary Rate as set forth in this Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this subsection, V/FX Traffic that is VOIP Traffic will be governed by the applicable provisions of Section 5. Traffic Exchanl!ed Over UNE-P Lines Notwithstanding Section 3 above, commencing on the Effective Date, and continuing prospectively for the Amendment Term, Local Traffic and ISP-Bound Traffic exchanged over AT&T UNE-P Lines shall continue to be subject to the intercarrier compensation arrangements in place prior to the Effective Date under the applicable Interconnection Agreements, except as otherwise set forth below in this Section 4: (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGAT, any applicable call flow diagrams, or otherwise, any charges of a type that are considered to be within the scope of "reciprocal compensation charges (including charges expressly set forth below in this subsection (a) and other charges that may be imposed by a terminating Telecommunications Carrier associated with transport and termination of Local Traffic) for Local Traffic and ISP-Bound Traffic originated by an AT&T End User over a UNE- P line and terminated to a Verizon retail End User or to the End User of a Verizon reseller shall be replaced by the Unitary Rate. (Nothing herein shall limit Verizon s right to continue assessing the ULCTC charge pursuant to the terms of the Interconnection Agreements (or tariffs, when applicable) throughout the Amendment Term.) For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing principle (i., in the first sentence of this subsection (a)) results in the following rate changes between the Parties in the jurisdictions noted below (but only with respect to such . t~affic): ----~~------ -... -- - --.. - -- - -., (i) Verizon, former Bell Atlantic Nort:.h States (A) Maine: The reciprocal compensation charge from the PUC TELRIC rates file (which immediately prior to the Effective Date was $0.002084 per MOU (daytime), $0.001756 per MOU (evening) and $0.001680 per MOU (night/week-end)) is hereby replaced with the Unitary Rate.

(F) West Virginia: The charge for terminating switching, which includes an End Office trunk port charge (which immediately prior to the Effective Date was AMEr~1)MENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 10 (11/01/04) $0.002505 per MOU in the aggregate) is hereby replaced with the Unitary Rate. (G) Virginia: No adjustment based on newly ordered flat rate structure pending implementation and retroactive true-up of such structure in lieu of prior rate structure. (iii) Verizon. former GTE States: Any charge for terminating switching (and any End Office trunk port charge, if applicable) is hereby replaced with the Unitary Rate. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGAT, any applicable call flow diagrams, or otherwise neither Party shall be entitled to collect from the other Party any intercarrier compensation charges (i., reciprocal compensation, the Unitary Rate, or UCRCCIU1\TR.CC charges) in connection with the exchange of Local Traffic or ISP-Bound Traffic that is both originated by and terminated to AT&T End Users, if one or both of the AT&T End Users are served over AT&T UNE-P lines. To the extent Verizon or AT&T is unable to uniquely identify the foregoing traffic, the Parties shall implement this provision via a periodic "true-up. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGA T, any applicable call flow diagrams, or otherwise neither Party shall be entitled to collect from the other Party any intercarrier compensation charges (i., reciprocal compensation, the Unitary Rate or UCRCCIUNRCC charges), nor shall Verizon be entitled to collect from AT&T any terminating UNE switching charges or End Office trunk port charges, in connection with the exchange of Local Traffic or ISP-Bound Traffic that is originated by Verizon End Users or the End Users ofVerizon resellers and terminated to AT&T UNE-P lines. VOIP Traffic. (a) In accordance with and to the extent required by the FCC's Order In the Matter of Petition for Declaratory Ruling that AT&T's Phone-to-Phone IP Telephony Services are Exempt frQlJJ~~ce!j!iJ:;hflrg ,=- Ff;c;,_0'l-27~WC Docket N9-,~~~-J~L(Lele~sS:Q~8.griI21 2004) ("AT&T VOIP Order ), any VOIP Traffic exchanged between the Parties that is subject to such AT&T VOIP Order ("Phone-to-Phone VOIP Traffic ) shall pursua..'lt to such Order be billed to the responsible Party at the applicable interstate switched access rates as set forth in the Parties relevant tariffs (including, for the avoidance of any doubt, with respect to both usage and applicable facilities). Should the treatment of traffic subject to the AT&T VOIP Order be modified by the FCC, by a court, or by other applicable federal law, such order or law shall be applied prospectively from the effective date of such order or law to the extent such order or law addresses Phone-to-Phone VOIP Traffic, and each Party reserves all rights to argue for or against retroactive application of that order or law. (b) Except as provided in subsection (a) above with respect to Phone-to-Phone VOIP Traffic, the Parties do not agree on whether (and, if so, what) compensation is due in connection AMENDMENT TO INTERCOl"mECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 11 (11/01/04) with the exchange ofVOIP Traffic. Accordingly, until such time as the FCC issues an effective order deciding whether reciprocal compensation, access or some other amount (or regime) constitutes the appropriate compensation due in connection with the exchange of VOW Traffic (the "FCC VOW Order ), each Party shall, with respect to VOIP Traffic other than Phone-to- Phone VOIP Traffic (which is addressed in subsection (a) above): (i) track and ,identify to the other Party sufficient information relating to its VOW Traffic that is terminated to the other Party to enable the terminating Party to rate such traffic, (ii) conspicuously identify any charges it seeks to impose upon the other Party for termination of VOW Traffic identified by the other Party to the extent such charges are in excess of the Unitary Rate, and (iii) upon receipt of an invoice from the other Party for charges arising from its termination of such VOW Traffic, pay an amount no less than the amount that would be due if the Unitary Rate were applied to such VOW Traffic. V/ithout any probative value as to the merits of either Party's position with respect to the appropriate compensation due on VOW Traffic, the billed Party may dispute (and withhold payment of) any access or intercarrier compensation charges billed by the other Party on such VOW Traffic in excess of the Unitary Rate. In addition, the billing Party may accept payment of the lower amount without waiving any claims it may have that a higher amount is due, and the Party delivering such traffic shall be deemed to have taken all steps required in order to preserve any right it may have to not pay a higher amount. Upon the effectiveness of the FCC VOIP Order, such FCC VOW Order shall be applied prospectively from the effective date of the FCC VOW Order, and each Party reserves all rights to argue for or against retroactive application that ruling. In the event the FCC rules that access charges do not apply to such traffic, such traffic shall continue to be subject to the Unitary Rate pursuant to this Amendment. Other Traffic. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGAT, or otherwise: (a) AT&T shall not knowingly deliver to Verizon Local Traffic or ISP-Bound Traffic that originates with a t.lllrd Telecommunications Carrier, except (i) in exchanges where such I~k~Q.1111'l'llIDi~at:iQtl~~C--'IJI1~I llB~S AT ~r~_s the ~91~ Jn~'W-_9fJ?QtIJ t~rp:l!IlJ3,tlI1gJ~-~LTr(j.ffi~;;mct . ISP-Bound Traffic to Verizon s network and receiving Local Traffic and ISP-Bound Traffic originating on the Verizon net'Nork, (ii) where the Parties exchange Local Traffic and ISP-BolL.'1d Traffic with such Telecommunications Carrier for purposes of overflow or redundancy, (iii) if AT&T pays Verizon the same amount that such third Telecommunications Carrier would have paid Verizon for that traffic at the location the traffic is delivered to Verizon by AT&T, not to exceed the applicable Tandem or End Office reciprocal compensation charges for such jurisdiction, or (iv) as may be subsequently agreed to in writing by the Parties. (b) Local Traffic or ISP-Bound Traffic that originates with a third Telecommunications Carrier and is handed off by AT&T to Verizon pursuant to Section 6(a) above, as well as Local Traffic or ISP-Bound Traffic that Verizon hands off to AT&T for delivery to a third Telecommunications Carrier, in each case other than such traffic that is not AMENDl'yfENT TO INTERCONl','ECTION AGREElVIENTS - PAGE 12 (11/01104) routed through such Telecommunications Carrier s own switch, shall not be included in the calculation of the Aggregated Traffic Ratio in Section 3(a) above. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6(a), Verizon, in its sole discretion, may elect to deliver Local Traffic or ISP-Bound Traffic originating on its network directly to any third Telecommunications Carrier that is also exchanging such traffic with Verizon through AT&T's network , provided it has made appropriate arrangements with such third Telecommunications Carrier. In the event Verizon elects to do so, AT&T will be deemed to have satisfied the conditions under Section 6(a)(i) above with respect to such direct-trunked traffic. (d) In determining whet.l-J.er traffic of a third TelecOlr..mtL'ucations Ca..rrier exchan,ged with Verizon under Sections 6(a)(i) and 6(a)(iii) above is Local Traffic/ISP-Bound Traffic or alternatively, interexchange/toll traffic, the terms and conditions of the applicable interconnection agreement (if any) in effect between such third Telecommunications Carrier and Verizon shall control. By way of example, if such an interconnection agreement provides that V /FX Traffic is subject to s\"itched exchange access charges, it shall continue to be subject to such charges even if exchanged with V erizon through AT&T. Verizon will disclose any such interconnection agreement provisions to AT&T upon request. (e) AT&T may not charge Verizon any fees for transiting Local Traffic or ISP- Bound Traffic from Verizon to a third Telecommunications Carrier pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) or (ii) above other than the Unitary Rate. AT&T may not charge Verizon any fees for transiting Local Traffic or ISP-Bound Traffic from Verizon to a third Telecommunications Carriers pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii) above other than the same amount that such third carrier would have charged Verizon for that traffic. Identification and Routine: of Calls The Parties shall comply with all terms and provisions set forth in the Interconnection A~eements ~~latinK 1() ~()!ltil!g ~clJ:ral1?Q1i~~!_~11~QLc,!II~~c r~W()~~!iQl!.~~~ell ~~- ~~'!!l_ ,,- - ~- ~~ ~ applicable laws and regulations relating to each Party's routing and identification of its domestic voice traffic, including all FCC rules governing callin.g party nu.11lber ("CPN") information and SS7 signaling information. Where call records do not provide an accurate basis for jurisdictionalization of traffic for intercarrier compensation purposes, the Parties shall use other appropriate methods to be agreed upon. Interconnection Architecture. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGA T, or otherwise, this Section sets forth the Parties ' respective rights and obligations regarding interconnection architecture during the Amendment Term. AMEl\TDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 13 (11/01/04) (a)Traffic To Which The Interconnection Architecture Applies The network interconnection architecture arrangements set forth in this Amendment apply to interconnection facilities used by the Parties to exchange Local Traffic and ISP-Bound Traffic. They also apply to interconnection facilities used by the Parties to exchange translated LEC IntraLATA toll free service access code (e., 800/888/877) traffic, IntraLATA Toll traffic tandem transit traffic, V/FX Traffic that is not ISP-Bound Traffic, and VOIP Traffic, subject however, to the applicable terms, if any, set forth in the Interconnection Agreements or applicable tariffs (if any) relating to compensation for facilities, as modified by this Amendment. Traffic subject to the Unitary Rate under this Amendment (including VOIP Traffic subject to Section 5 (b)) may be routed by either Party in the same manner as required for Local Traffic pursuant to the applicable Interconnection Agreements (as modified pursuant to this Section); provided, however, that use of such arrangements for VOIP Traffic may not be cited by or used against either Party to support either Party's position concerning the applicability of access charges or separate trunking requirements for VOIP Traffic. To the extent (i) the pricing for interconnection facilities may differ depending on the extent to which such facilities are used for Local Traffic or for "toll;" "access" or "non-reciprocal compensation" traffic, and (ii) such interconnection facilities are used for the exchange ofVOIP traffic (other than traffic subject to the AT&T VOIP Order), until such time (if any) as the FCC determines that access charges apply to such traffic, the Parties shall treat such traffic as Local Traffic, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Interconnection Agreement(s) (as modified pursuant to this Section), for purposes of determining billing and payment for such facilities, but in doing so the billing Party shall not be deemed to have waived any claims it may have for application of a higher transport rate should the FCC rule that access charges apply to such traffic. In the event the FCC rules that access charges apply to such VOIP traffic, such traffic will be treated as "access traffic" for purposes of determining billing and payment for such facilities. (b)Terms for Grandfathering of Existing Interconnection Architecture (i) Subject to the terms of this Amendment, the Parties shall "grandfather their carrier-specific point of inter onnection ("POI") architeciure e isting as of the Effective Datem anyLA:TA: wnere any oftfie'AT&T l'artfes is mtercoImectea, as oft lie Effective Date with Verizon on a direct or indirect (i., through another local exchange carrier) basis. As such in those LA T As in which the Parties are interconnected as of the Effective Date, Verizon shall deliver traffic to AT&T switch(es) in such LATAs where Verizon has an obligation to do so pursuant to the terms of the applicable Interconnection Agreements; and AT&T shall deliver traffic to Verizon Tandems and End Offices in such LATAs where AT&T has an obligation to do so pursuant to the terms of the applicable Interconnection Agreements. (ii) AT&T shall establish direct end office trunks between any AT&T End Office and any Verizon End Office when traffic between such End Offices reaches 1215 busy hour centium call seconds ("BHCCS") in any two (2) consecutive months (or in any three (3) six (6) consecutive months). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 14 (11/01/04) -, -,-,- ----- -- --- -- - - - - --- --- ------ -----,---- - - - -- -- "'_n - -- ...- --,---- Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGA T, or otherwise, AT&T shall be financially responsible for any transport facilities associated with such direct end office trunking to the Verizon End Office for traffic originating on AT&T's network. (iii) For the avoidance of any doubt, the term "transport" as used in this Amendment includes transport facilities, as well as any multiplexing and entrance facilities, to the extent applicable. (iv) In addition to any other interconnection methods set forth in the applicable Interconnection Agreements, both Parties may meet the foregoing interconnection obligations through purchasing transport from the other Party or a third party, or through self-provisioning. AT&T may self-provision via collocation at the applicable Verizon Wire Center (or via collocation at another Verizon Wire Center in the applicable LATA and the purchase of transport from such Verizon Wire Center (at which AT&T collocates) to the applicable Wire Center), subject to the collocation terms of the applicable Interconnection Agreement or Verizon tariff; and Verizon may do so via an arrangement in which Verizon places its equipment in an AT&T Wire Center, and AT&T provides space and power. For such self-provisioning arrangements that Verizon establishes on or after the Effective Date at an AT&T premise, AT&T shall provide the arrangements at rates no less favorable (taken as a whole) than Verizon collocation rates, and under terms and conditions subject to negotiation and mutual agreement by the Parties. (For avoidance of doubt, AT&T's collocation rates need not be structured identically to Verizon ' s rates. For example, AT&T may assess fees for space and power on DS-1 or DS-3 increments rather than by square footage.) For such self-provisioning arrangements that Verizon established prior to the Effective Date at an AT&T premise, if the applicable Interconnection Agreement provides AT&T with the right to charge for such arrangements, and if AT&T was charging Verizon, as of the Effective Date, for such arrangements, Verizon will continue to have an obligation to pay those charges. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGA T, or otherwise, Verizon shall not have an obligation to pay any charges associated with the use of AT&T space and power for any such pre-existing arrangements for which AT&T was not charging Verizon as of the Effective Date. ~- ----~ ~ -~ -~....,~.. ~~ - _n"____~ ----___ .._n~_..n.. __,__----_.._~--~, (v) Where an AT&T switch is outside the originating Verizon Tandem serving area, and where Verizon is purchasing transport from AT&T, then AT&T shall charge Verizon transport mileage charges that are calculated using the lesser of the actual airline mileage for the transport Verizon purchases from AT&T or 10 miles. Where an AT&T switch is within the originating Verizon Tandem service area, and where Verizon is purchasing transport from AT&T, AT&T may charge Verizon transport mileage charges calculated using the actual airline mileage for the transport Verizon purchases from AT&T. Subject to the foregoing, in those jurisdictions where Verizon is providing interconnection transport to AT&T, AT&T shall charge Verizon a transport rate that is no higher than the lower of (A) the transport rate that Verizon charges AT&T in such jurisdictions, subject to application of the available Verizon volume and term pricing requirements as provided below in subsection (vii) (and, for the avoidance of any doubt, Verizon s own volumes of transport obtained from AT&T shall be applied in determining AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 15 (11/01/04) whether Verizon qualifies for any volume and term pricing requirements), and (B) the rate that would be available to Verizon pursuant to the applicable AT&T tariff that corresponds to the tariff providing the basis (i., intrastate or interstate special access) for Verizon s rates without regard to this Amendment, subject to application of the available volume and term pricing requirements available under the AT&T tariff as provided below in subsection (vii) based on Verizon s volumes of transport obtained fTom AT&T. Under each of subsections (A) and (B) above, where Verizon uses Percent Interstate Usage ("Pill") and Percent Local Usage ("PLU" factors for purposes ofVerizon s billing of transport to AT&T pursuant to the Interconnection Agreement, AT&T shall apply to such billing ofVerizon the same Pill and PLU factors, where applicable, that AT&T provides to Verizon, which factors may be calculated by AT&T on a total volume-weighted statewide or LATA-wide basis as agreed upon by the Parties. (vi) In those jurisdictions where Verizon is not providing interconnection transport to AT&T, the transport amount that AT&T shall charge to Verizon for purposes of this Section shall be an amount no higher than the Verizon interstate access rates for the applicable jurisdiction, subject to the volume and terms pricing requirements as provided below. At such time that Verizon provides interconnection transport to AT&T in such a jurisdiction, then the terms of the immediately preceding subsection shall apply. (vii) In all cases described above, each Party shall make available to the other Party any applicable volume and term pricing (subject to the other Party meeting the requirements of the volume and term plan). (viii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements this Amendment, an applicable tariff or SGA T, or otherwise, AT&T shall reflect the charges for interconnection transport set forth in this Amendment beginning in its January 2005 invoices to Verizon. (c)FCC Interconnection Architecture Rilles. , prior to the expiration of the Amendment Tenu, the FCC issues an ord , modifying the netWorKThferconnectwn rules, -un tstJnrf:'i eClillfei'carrmtC o m penSatIOll Regllne proceeclln-g e--- Docket 01-92), upon a Party's written request, the Parties shaH, on a market by market basis discuss in good faith how, if at all, they wish to conform the existing network interconnection architecture to the newly adopted FCC rules. For the avoidance of any doubt, implementation of such new rules taking effect prior to the expiration of the Amendment Term would be subject to the mutual, written agreement of the Parties, and implementation of such new rules to take effect after December 31 , 2006 would be subject to the provisions of any Interconnection Agreement related to modifying an Interconnection Agreement for a change of law. (d)New Interconnection Architecture Provisions. (i)The terms set forth above in this Section shall apply to any of the AT&T AMENDMENT TO L1\lTERCONNECT!ON AGREEMENTS - PAGE 16 (11/01104) --,---- Parties in any LATA where any of the AT&T Parties is interconnected, as of the Effective Date with Verizon on a direct or indirect (i., through another local exchange carrier) basis. If none of the AT&T Parties is interconnected either directly or indirectly with Verizon in a LATA, the implementation of any interconnection by either Party shall be pursuant to the mutual POI terms and conditions set forth below. Appendix A sets forth those LA T As where AT&T and Verizon are not interconnected as of the Effective Date and for which the mutual POI terms set forth below shall apply, if interconnection is implemented between the Parties in those LA T As. (ii) AT&T shall establish at least one (1) mutual POI (i., a technically feasible point on Verizon s network at which each Party delivers its originating traffic to the other Party) in each of the Verizon Tandem serving areas in each LATA in which either of the Parties wishes to exchange (but is not exchanging as of the Effective Date) traffic. (iii) Except for LATAs 132 (in New York) and 224 (in New Jersey), the default mutual POI location(s) shall be (A) at each local Tandem location where Verizon houses separate local and access Tandems in the same Wire Center; and (B) at each Verizon local Tandem location, including those combination Tandems that provide both local and access functionality, provided that the number of mutual POls established at local-only Tandem locations (i., there is no combination access functionality or separate access Tandem in the same Wire Center) does not exceed the number ofVerizon access Tandems in the LATA. If the number ofVerizon local-only Tandems in a LATA exceeds the number ofVerizon access Tandems in a LATA, then Verizon may designate which local Tandem locations will be mutual POI locations; provided, however, AT&T shall provide separate trunk groups to those local Tandems at which a mutual POI has not been established by AT&T or direct End Office trunks for its originating traffic that is destined for a Verizon End Office that subtends a Verizon local Tandem at which a mutual POI has not been established by AT&T. For LATAs 132 and 224 (to the extent they are not grandfathered pursuant to Section 8(b) above), the default mutual POI location(s) shall be each Verizon local Tandem location irrespective of the number or location of Verizon access Tandems. (iy t_-- !!1_L..bl'Ajl!'Which then~ are fewer than two ,(2) V ~riz~n)oc~l . - -- --"-----..- . Tandems, in addition to the mutual POI at the Verizon Tandem Wire Center(s) as described above, AT&T shall establish additional mutual POls at a Verizon End Office Wire Center when total traffic exchanged between any AT&T End Office and such Verizon End Office reaches 1215 BHCCS in any two (2) consecutive months (or in any three (3) of six (6) consecutive months), unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties. AT&T shall establish direct End Office trunks to such Verizon End Office when total traffic exchanged behveen any AT&T End Office and that End Office reaches 1215 BHCCS in any two (2) consecutive months (or in any three (3) of six (6) consecutive months). AT&T may meet the direct end office trunking obligation through purchasing transport from Verizon or a third party, or through self- provisioning via collocation. (v)Where the Verizon End Office subtends a third party carrier Tandem, then AMENDMENT TO INTERCONr'JECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 17 (11/01/04) subject to the following condition, each Party shall have the right to interconnect via transiting the third party Tandem for traffic originated by such Party. If the total volume of traffic exchanged between a certain AT&T switch and a certain Verizon End Office reaches 1215 BHCCS in any two (2) consecutive months (or in any three (3) of six (6) consecutive months), AT&T shall establish direct End Office trunks between such locations. At its discretion, AT&T also may establish direct End Office trunks between such locations at a lower traffic volume threshold. The mutual POI will be the existing meet point between Verizon and the Tandem transit provider. (vi) Where a Verizon switch and an AT&T facility have a common location as set forth in Appendix B to this Amendment, the Parties may effect interconnection for their originating traffic where an applicable Interconnection Agreement specifies use of one way trunks, and for both Parties' respective traffic where an applicable Interconnection Agreement specifies use of two way trunks, via direct intrabuilding cable connection pursuant to rates, terms and conditions comparable to those set forth in the Parties' New York Interconnection Agreement as in effect on the Effective Date. Early Termination of Interconnection A!!reement Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, any applicable tariff or SGAT, or otherwise, the terms contained herein shall govern the relationship ofthe Parties with respect to the subject matter set forth herein, through December 31 , 2006, and thereafter as well until such time as such terms are superseded by a subsequent Interconnection Agreement effective after December 31 , 2006 or are modified pursuant to Section 10 of this Amendment, notwithstanding the fact that an Interconnection Agreement may expire or be terminated prior to that date. In case of the expiration or termination of an Interconnection Agreement prior to December 31 , 2006, the terms contained herein shall continue to remain in effect through December 31 , 2006 and thereafter until such time as such terms are superseded by a subsequent Interconnection Agreement effective after December 31 , 2006, or are modified pursuant to Section 10 of this Amendment. - -- -. - -,-_..,_. 10.Modification of Terms. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Interconnection Agreements, this Amendment, any applicable tariff or SGA T, or otherwise, upon thirty (30) days advance written notice, either Party may initiate a request, to take effect at any time after December 31 , 2006, for an amendment to the Interconnection Agreement( s) to reflect a change of law, or may request inclusion of new or different terms as part of the negotiation or arbitration of a new interconnection agreement, or may request an amendment to an existing agreement providing new or different terms governing intercarrier compensation and network interconnection architecture, provided that neither Party shall be obligated to agree to any such request, and in the event the Parties are unable to agree upon different terms or an amendment to an existing Interconnection Agreement, either Party may seek to have the issue arbitrated pursuant to applicable procedures governing the AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 18 (11/01/04) Interconnection Agreement. --- -,-- -- -- -- -- - -- -- -.. ,-..- - u_ ..,-- ,,- - ,- ,-,-_.. ---- AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 19 (11/01104) Appendix A LATAs Where Verizon and AT&T Are Not Interconnected As of the Effective Date Hawaii - LATA 834 Mattoon, IL - LATA 976 Macomb, IL - LATA 977 Louisville, IN - LATA 462 Richmond, IN - LA T A 937 Reno, NY - LATA 720 Li...'l1a-Mansfield, OR - LATA 923 Blue Field, VA - 932 ....- - - -- u_ - - - --, --_u n - - - ---- -,------ - ---,- AMENDMENT TO INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS - PAGE 20 (11/01/04) Appendix B 3D Condo and Shared Network Facility Arrangements ("SNFA") Established Between the Parties as of the Effective Date VERIZON 3D CONDO SITES - 28 locations , ' Oft , '" ';, " Mid-Atlantic 1. 30 E Street, S., Washington, D. 2. 8670 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 3. 323 N.
