AGREEMENT
PREFACE
This Agreement ("Agreement") shall be deemed effective upon approval of the Idaho Public Utility
Commission (the "Effective Date"), between EDNETICS, INC. ("EDNETICS"), a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Idaho, with offices at 971 South Clearwater Loop, Suite
1000, Post Falls, Idaho 83854 and Frontier Communications Northwest Inc. ("Frontier"), a
corporation organized under the laws of the state of Washington with offices at 180 South Clinton
Avenue, Rochester, New York 14646 (Frontier and EDNETICS may be referred to hereinafter,
each, individually as a "Party", and, collectively, as the "Parties").
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally
bound, pursuant to Section 252 of the Act, Frontier and EDNETICS hereby agree as follows:
The Agreement
1.1 This Agreement includes: (a) the Principal Document; (b) the Tariffs of each
Party applicable to the Services that are offered for sale by it in the Principal
Document (which Tariffs are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement
by reference); and, (c) an Order by a Party that has been accepted by the other
Party.
1.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Principal Document (including, but
not limited to, the Pricing Attachment), conflicts among provisions in the Principal
Document, Tariffs, and an Order by a Party that has been accepted by the other
Party, shall be resolved in accordance with the following order of precedence,
where the document identified in subsection "(a)" shall have the highest
precedence: (a) the Principal Document; (b) the Tariffs; and, (c) an Order by a
Party that has been accepted by the other Party. The fact that a provision
appears in the Principal Document but not in a Tariff, or in a Tariff but not in the
Principal Document, shall not be interpreted as, or deemed grounds for finding, a
conflict for the purposes of this Section 1.2.
1.3 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties on the
subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous
agreement, understanding, or representation, on the subject matter hereof,
provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or
otherwise, this Agreement is an amendment, extension and restatement of the
Parties' prior interconnection and resale agreement(s), if any, and, as such, this
Agreement is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed to create, a novation or
accord and satisfaction with respect to any prior interconnection or resale
agreements and, accordingly, all monetary obligations of the Parties to one
another under any prior interconnection or resale agreements shall remain in full
force and effect and shall constitute monetary obligations of the Parties under
this Agreement (provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement
shall convert any claim or debt that would otherwise constitute a prepetition claim
or debt in a bankruptcy case into a postpetition claim or debt). In connection with
the foregoing, Frontier expressly reserves all of its rights under the Bankruptcy
Code and Applicable Law to seek or oppose any relief in respect of the
assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of any interconnection or
resale agreements between Frontier and EDNETICS.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010
1.4 Except as otherwise provided in the Principal Document, the Principal Document
may not be waived or modified except by a written document that is signed by
the Parties. Subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, a Party shall have
the right to add, modify, or withdraw, its Tariff(s) at any time, without the consent
of, or notice to, the other Party.
2.Term and Termination
2.1 This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and, unless cancelled
or terminated earlier in accordance with the terms hereof, shall continue in effect
for two (2) years (the "Initial Term"). Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in
force and effect unless and until cancelled or terminated as provided in this
Agreement.
2.2 Either EDNETICS or Frontier may terminate this Agreement effective upon the
expiration of the Initial Term or effective upon any date after expiration of the
Initial Term by providing written notice of termination at least ninety (90) days in
advance of the date of termination.
2.3 If either EDNETICS or Frontier provides notice of termination pursuant to Section
2.2 and on or before the proposed date of termination either EDNETICS or
Frontier has requested negotiation of a new interconnection agreement, unless
this Agreement is cancelled or terminated earlier in accordance with the terms
hereof (including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 12), this Agreement shall
remain in effect until the earlier of: (a) the effective date of a new interconnection
agreement between EDNETICS and Frontier; or, (b) the date one (1) year after
the proposed date of termination.
2.4 If either EDNETICS or Frontier provides notice of termination pursuant to Section
2.2 and by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the proposed date of termination neither
EDNETICS nor Frontier has requested negotiation of a new interconnection
agreement, (a) this Agreement will terminate at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the
proposed date of termination, and (b) the Services being provided under this
Agreement at the time of termination will be terminated, except to the extent that
the Purchasing Party has requested that such Services continue to be provided
pursuant to an applicable Tariff or Statement of Generally Available Terms
(SGAT).

4.Applicable Law
4.1 The construction, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by (a) the laws of the United States of America and (b) the laws of the
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010
State of Idaho, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. All disputes relating to
this Agreement shall be resolved through the application of such laws.

4.2 Each Party shall remain in compliance with Applicable Law in the course of
performing this Agreement.

4.3 Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance by it that
results from requirements of Applicable Law, or acts or failures to act of any
governmental entity or official.

4.4 Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any governmental
action that limits, suspends, cancels, withdraws, or otherwise materially affects,
the notifying Party's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.5 If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable under
Applicable Law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall
be construed as if it did not contain such invalid or unenforceable provision;
provided, that if the invalid or unenforceable provision is a material provision of
this Agreement, or the invalidity or unenforceability materially affects the rights or
obligations of a Party hereunder or the ability of a Party to perform any material
provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall promptly renegotiate in good faith
and amend in writing this Agreement in order to make such mutually acceptable
revisions to this Agreement as may be required in order to conform the
Agreement to Applicable Law.

4.6 If any legislative, regulatory, judicial or other governmental decision, order,
determination or action, or any change in Applicable Law, materially affects any
material provision of this Agreement, the rights or obligations of a Party
hereunder, or the ability of a Party to perform any material provision of this
Agreement, the Parties shall promptly renegotiate in good faith and amend in
writing this Agreement in order to make such mutually acceptable revisions to
this Agreement as may be required in order to conform the Agreement to
Applicable Law. If within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such decision,
determination, action or change, the Parties are unable to agree in writing upon
mutually acceptable revisions to this Agreement, either Party may pursue any
remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise,
including, but not limited to, instituting an appropriate proceeding before the
Commission, the FCC, or a court of competent jurisdiction, without first pursuing
dispute resolution in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement.
4.6.1 Notwithstanding Section 4.6 above, to the extent Frontier is required
by a change in Applicable Law to provide to EDNETICS a Service that
is not offered under this Agreement to EDNETICS, the terms,
conditions and prices for such Service (including, but not limited to, the
terms and conditions defining the Service and stating when and where
the Service will be available and how it will be used, and terms,
conditions and prices for pre-ordering, ordering, provisioning, repair,
maintenance and billing) shall be as provided in an applicable Frontier
Tariff, or, in the absence of an applicable Frontier Tariff, as mutually
agreed by the Parties in a written amendment to the Agreement that,
upon the request of either Party, the Parties shall negotiate in
accordance with the requirements of Section 252 of the Act. In no
event shall Frontier be required to provide any such Service in the
absence of such a Frontier Tariff or amendment.
EDNETICS ID Camp v3.3a_07142010
4.7 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, as a result of any
legislative, judicial, regulatory or other governmental decision, order,
determination or action, or any change in Applicable Law, Frontier is not required
by Applicable Law to provide any Service, payment or benefit, otherwise required
to be provided to EDNETICS hereunder, then Frontier may discontinue the
provision of any such Service, payment or benefit, and EDNETICS shall
reimburse Frontier for any payment previously made by Frontier to EDNETICS
that was not required by Applicable Law. Frontier will provide thirty (30) days
prior written notice to EDNETICS of any such discontinuance of a Service, unless
a different notice period or different conditions are specified in this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, in the Networks Element Attachment or an
applicable Tariff) or Applicable Law for termination of such Service in which event
such specified period and/or conditions shall apply. For the avoidance of any
doubt, this Section 4.7 is self-effectuating and no amendment to this Agreement
shall be required to implement it.
5.Assignment
Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any right or interest under this Agreement,
nor delegate any obligation under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the
other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 5 shall be void and
ineffective and constitute default of this Agreement.
6.Assurance of Payment
6.1 Upon request by Frontier, EDNETICS shall, at any time and from time to time,
provide to Frontier adequate assurance of payment of amounts due (or to
become due) to Frontier hereunder.
6.2 Assurance of payment of charges may be requested by Frontier if EDNETICS (a)
prior to the Effective Date, has failed to timely pay a bill rendered to EDNETICS
by Frontier or its Affiliates, (b) on or after the Effective Date, fails to timely pay a
bill rendered to EDNETICS by Frontier or its Affiliates, (c) in Frontier's reasonable
judgment, at the Effective Date or at any time thereafter, is unable to
demonstrate that it is creditworthy, or (d) admits its inability to pay its debts as
such debts become due, has commenced a voluntary case (or has had a case
commenced against it) under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other law relating
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up, composition or adjustment
of debts or the like, has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is
subject to a receivership or similar proceeding.
6.3 Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the assurance of payment shall consist
of an unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit naming Frontier as the
beneficiary thereof and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Frontier
from a financial institution acceptable to Frontier. The letter of credit shall be in
an amount equal to two (2) months anticipated charges (including, but not limited
to, both recurring and non-recurring charges), as reasonably determined by
Frontier, for the Services to be provided by Frontier to EDNETICS in connection
with this Agreement. If EDNETICS meets the condition in subsection 6.2(d)
above or has failed to timely pay two or more bills rendered by Frontier or a
Frontier Affiliate in any twelve (12)-month period, Frontier may, at its option,
demand (and EDNETICS shall provide) additional assurance of payment,
consisting of monthly advanced payments of estimated charges as reasonably
determined by Frontier, with appropriate true-up against actual billed charges no
more frequently than once per Calendar Quarter.

6.4 [Intentionally Left Blank].
6.5 [Intentionally Left Blank].
6.6 Frontier may (but is not obligated to) draw on the letter of credit upon notice to
EDNETICS in respect of any amounts to be paid by EDNETICS hereunder that
are not paid within thirty (30) days of the date that payment of such amounts is
required by this Agreement.
6.7 If Frontier draws on the letter of credit, upon request by Frontier, EDNETICS
shall provide a replacement or supplemental letter of credit conforming to the
requirements of Section 6.3.
6.8 Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Agreement, if Frontier makes a
request for assurance of payment in accordance with the terms of this Section,
then Frontier shall have no obligation thereafter to perform under this Agreement
until such time as EDNETICS has provided Frontier with such assurance of
payment.
6.9 The fact that a letter of credit is requested by Frontier hereunder shall in no way
relieve EDNETICS from compliance with the requirements of this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, any applicable Tariffs) as to advance payments and
payment for Services, nor constitute a waiver or modification of the terms herein
pertaining to the discontinuance of Services for nonpayment of any amounts
payment of which is required by this Agreement.
7.Audits
7.1 Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, either Party
("Auditing Party") may audit the other Party's ("Audited Party") books, records,
documents, facilities and systems for the purpose of evaluating the accuracy of
the Audited Party's bills. Such audits may be performed once in each Calendar
Year; provided, however, that audits maybe conducted more frequently (but no
more frequently than once in each Calendar Quarter) if the immediately
preceding audit found previously uncorrected net inaccuracies in billing in favor
of the Audited Party having an aggregate value of at least $1,000,000.
7.2 The audit shall be performed by independent certified public accountants
selected and paid by the Auditing Party. The accountants shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Audited Party. Prior to commencing the audit, the accountants
shall execute an agreement with the Audited Party in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Audited Party that protects the confidentiality of the information
disclosed by the Audited Party to the accountants. The audit shall take place at
a time and place agreed upon by the Parties; provided, that the Auditing Party
may require that the audit commence no later than sixty (60) days after the
Auditing Party has given notice of the audit to the Audited Party.
7.3 Each Party shall cooperate fully in any such audit, providing reasonable access
to any and all employees, books, records, documents, facilities and systems,
reasonably necessary to assess the accuracy of the Audited Party's bills.
7.4 Audits shall be performed at the Auditing Party's expense, provided that there -
shall be no charge for reasonable access to the Audited Party's employees,
books, records, documents, facilities and systems necessary to assess the
accuracy of the Audited Party's bills.
8.Authorization
EDNETICS ID Compv3.3a_07142010
8.1 Frontier represents and warrants that it is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Washington and has
full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
8.2 EDNETICS represents and warrants that it is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Louisiana,
and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
perform its obligations under this Agreement.
8.3 EDNETICS Certification.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Frontier shall have no
obligation to perform under this Agreement until such time as EDNETICS has
obtained such FCC and Commission authorization as may be required by
Applicable Law for conducting business in the State of Idaho. EDNETICS shall
not place any Orders under this Agreement until it has obtained such
authorization. EDNETICS shall provide proof of such authorization to Frontier
upon request.
9. Billing and Payment; Disputed Amounts
9.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall submit to the
other Party on a monthly basis in an itemized form, statement(s) of charges
incurred by the other Party under this Agreement.
9.2 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, payment of amounts billed for
Services provided under this Agreement, whether billed on a monthly basis or as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be due, in immediately available U.S.
funds, on the later of the following dates (the "Due Date"): (a) the due date
specified on the billing Party's statement; or (b) twenty (20) days after the date
the statement is received by the billed Party. Payments shall be transmitted by
electronic funds transfer.
9.3 If any portion of an amount billed by a Party under this Agreement is subject to a
good faith dispute between the Parties, the billed Party shall give notice to the
billing Party of the amounts it disputes ("Disputed Amounts") and include in such
notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each item. A Party may also
dispute prospectively with a single notice a class of charges that it disputes.
Notice of a dispute may be given by a Party at any time, either before or after an
amount is paid, and a Party's payment of an amount shall not constitute a waiver
of such Party's right to subsequently dispute its obligation to pay such amount or
to seek a refund of any amount paid. The billed Party shall pay by the Due Date
all undisputed amounts. Billing disputes shall be subject to the terms of Section
14, Dispute Resolution.
9.4 Charges due to the billing Party that are not paid by the Due Date, shall be
subject to a late payment charge. The late payment charge shall be in an
amount specified by the billing Party which shall not exceed a rate of one-and-
one-half percent (1.5%) of the overdue amount (including any unpaid previously
billed late payment charges) per month.
9.5 Although it is the intent of both Parties to submit timely statements of charges,
failure by either Party to present statements to the other Party in a timely manner
shall not constitute a breach or default, or a waiver of the right to payment of the
incurred charges, by the billing Party under this Agreement, and, except for
assertion of a provision of Applicable Law that limits the period in which a suit or
EDNETICS ID Camp v3.3a_071420tO
other proceeding can be brought before a court or other governmental entity of
appropriate jurisdiction to collect amounts due, the billed Party shall not be
entitled to dispute the billing Party's statement(s) based on the billing Party's
failure to submit them in a timely fashion.
10. Confidentiality
10.1 As used in this Section 10, "Confidential Information" means the following
information that is disclosed by one Party ("Disclosing Party") to the other Party
("Receiving Party") in connection with, or anticipation of, this Agreement:
10.1.1 Books, records, documents and other information disclosed in an audit
pursuant to Section 7;
10.1.2 Any forecasting information provided pursuant to this Agreement;
10.1.3 Customer Information (except to the extent that (a)the Customer

10.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.1 through 10.4, the Receiving
Party may use and disclose Confidential Information received from the Disclosing

interest in any Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the

license is granted by this Agreement with respect to any Confidential Information

any such license to be implied solely by virtue of the disclosure of Confidential
Information.
10.7 The provisions of this Section 10 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of
any provisions of Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, 47 U.S.C. § 222,

of the initiating Party's written notice, either Party may pursue any remedies
available to it under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, including, but

to, or depend upon, the performance of the non-performing Party that has been
prevented by the Force Majeure Event. The non-performing Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the cause(s) of its non-
performance and both Parties shall proceed to perform once the cause(s) are
removed or cease.
15.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 15.1 and 15.2, in no case shall a
Force Majeure Event excuse either Party from an obligation to pay money as
required by this Agreement.

labor dispute except as the non-performing Party, in its sole discretion,
determines appropriate.

contractors (excluding the Indemnified Party) of the Indemnifying Party or the

material action with respect to a Third Party Claim, shall consult with
the Indemnifying Party as to the procedure to be followed in defending,
settling, or compromising the Claim; (c) shall not consent to any

at its own cost and expense, take over the defense against the Third
Party Claim, provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall
not be responsible for, nor shall it be obligated to indemnify or hold
harmless the Indemnified Person against, the Third Party Claim for
any amount in excess of such refused settlement or judgment.

Third Party Claim.

for personal injury or death that occurs in the course or scope of employment of
such person by the other Party or the other Party's Affiliate and that arises out of
performance of this Agreement.

41.Taxes
41.1 In General. With respect to any purchase of Services under this Agreement, if
any federal, state or local tax, fee, surcharge or other tax-like charge, excluding
any tax levied on property or net income, (a "Tax") is required or permitted by
Applicable Law or a Tariff to be collected from the Purchasing Party by the
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 21
Providing Party, then (a) the Providing Party shall bill the Purchasing Party for
such Tax, as a separately stated item on the invoice, (b) the Purchasing Party
shall timely remit such Tax to the Providing Party and (c) the Providing Party
shall timely remit such collected Tax to the applicable taxing authority as and to
the extent required by Applicable Law.

41.2 Taxes Imposed on the Providing Party or Receipts. With respect to any
purchase of Services under this Agreement, if any federal, state or local Tax is
imposed by Applicable Law on the receipts of the Providing Party, and such
Applicable Law permits the Providing Party to exclude certain receipts received
from sales to a public utility, distributor, telephone company, local exchange
carrier, telecommunications company or other communications company
("Telecommunications Company"), such exclusion being based on the fact that
the Purchasing Party is also subject to a tax based upon receipts ("Receipts
Tax"), then the Purchasing Party shall pay and remit the Receipts Tax as
required by Applicable Law.

41.3 Taxes Imposed on Subscriber. With respect to any purchase of Services under
this Agreement that are resold to a third party, if any federal, state or local Tax is
imposed by Applicable Law on the subscriber, end-user, customer or ultimate
consumer ("Subscriber") in connection with any such purchase, which a
Telecommunications Company is required to impose and/or collect from a
Subscriber, or if any federal, state or local Tax is imposed on the Providing Party
and required by Applicable Law to be passed through to the Subscriber, then the
Purchasing Party (a) shall impose and/or collect such Tax from the Subscriber
and (b) shall timely remit such Tax to the applicable taxing authority.

41.4 Tax Exemptions and Exemption Certificates. If Applicable Law clearly exempts a
purchase hereunder from a Tax, and if such Applicable Law also provides an
exemption procedure, such as an exemption certificate requirement, then, if the
Purchasing Party complies with such procedure, the Providing Party shall not
collect such Tax during the effective period of such exemption. Such exemption
shall be effective upon receipt of the exemption certificate or affidavit in
accordance with the terms set forth in Section 41.7. If Applicable Law clearly
exempts a purchase hereunder from a Tax, but does not also provide an
exemption procedure, then the Providing Party shall not collect such Tax if the
Purchasing Party (a) furnishes the Providing Party with a letter signed by an
officer requesting such an exemption and citing the provision in the Applicable
Law which clearly allows such exemption and (b) supplies the Providing Party
with an indemnification agreement, acceptable to the Providing Party, which
holds the Providing Party harmless on an after-tax basis with respect to its
forbearing to collect such Tax.

41.5 Liability for Uncollected Tax, Interest and Penalty.
41.5.1 If the Providing Party has not received an exemption certificate from
the Purchasing Party and the Providing Party fails to bill the
Purchasing Party for any Tax as required by Section 41.1, then, as
between the Providing Party and the Purchasing Party, (a) the
Purchasing Party shall remain liable for such unbilled Tax and any
interest assessed thereon and (b) the Providing Party shall be liable
for any penalty assessed with respect to such unbilled Tax by a taxing
authority.
41.5.2 If the Providing Party properly bills the Purchasing Party for any Tax
but the Purchasing Party fails to remit such Tax to the Providing Party
as required by Section 41.2, then, as between the Providing Party and
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 22
the Purchasing Party, the Purchasing Party shall be liable for such
uncollected Tax and any interest assessed thereon, as well as any
penalty assessed with respect to such uncollected Tax by the
applicable taxing authority.
41.5.3 If the Providing Party does not collect any Tax as required by Section
41.1 because the Purchasing Party has provided such Providing Party
with an exemption certificate that is later found to be inadequate,
invalid or inapplicable by a taxing authority, then, as between the
Providing Party and the Purchasing Party, the Purchasing Party shall
be liable for such uncollected Tax and any interest assessed thereon,
as well as any penalty assessed with respect to such uncollected Tax
by the applicable taxing authority.
41.5.4 If the Purchasing Party fails to pay the Receipts Tax as required by
Section 41.2, then, as between the Providing Party and the
Purchasing Party, (a) the Providing Party shall be liable for any Tax
imposed on its receipts and (b) the Purchasing Party shall be liable for
any interest assessed thereon and any penalty assessed upon the
Providing Party with respect to such Tax by the applicable taxing
authority.
41.5.5 If the Purchasing Party fails to impose and/or collect any Tax from
Subscribers as required by Section 41.3, then, as between the
Providing Party and the Purchasing Party, the Purchasing Party shall
remain liable for such uncollected Tax and any interest assessed
thereon, as well as any penalty assessed with respect to such
uncollected Tax by the applicable taxing authority. With respect to any
Tax that the Purchasing Party has agreed to pay, or is required to
impose on and/or collect from Subscribers, the Purchasing Party
agrees to indemnify and hold the Providing Party harmless on an after-
tax basis for any costs incurred by the Providing Party as a result of
actions taken by the applicable taxing authority to recover the Tax
from the Providing Party due to the failure of the Purchasing Party to
timely pay, or collect and timely remit, such Tax to such authority.

41.6 Audit Cooperation. In the event either Party is audited by a taxing authority, the
other Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Party being audited in order to
respond to any audit inquiries in a proper and timely manner so that the audit
and/or any resulting controversy may be resolved expeditiously.

41.7 Notices. All notices, affidavits, exemption-certificates or other communications
required or permitted to be given by either Party to the other, for purposes of this
Section 41, shall be made in writing and shall be delivered in person or sent by

INTERCONNECTION ATTACHMENT
1.General
Each Party shall provide to the other Party, in accordance with this Agreement, but only
to the extent required by Applicable Law, interconnection at (I) any technically feasible
Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's network in a LATA and/or (ii) a fiber meet point to
which the Parties mutually agree under the terms of this Agreement, for the transmission
and routing of Telephone Exchange Service and Exchange Access. By way of example,
a technically feasible Point of Interconnection on Frontier's network in a LATA would
include an applicable Frontier Tandem Interconnection Wire Center or Frontier End Office
Interconnection Wire Center but, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
or otherwise, would not include a EDNETICS Interconnection Wire Center, EDNETICS
switch or any portion of a transport facility provided by Frontier to EDNETICS or another
party between (x) a Frontier Interconnection Wire Center or switch and (y) the
Interconnection Wire Center or switch of EDNETICS or another party. For brevity's sake,
the foregoing examples of locations that, respectively, are and are not "on Frontier's
network" shall apply (and are hereby incorporated by reference) each time the term "on
Frontier's network" is used in this Agreement.
2.Points of Interconnection and Trunk Types
2.1 Point(s) of Interconnection.
2.1.1 Each Party, at its own expense, shall provide transport facilities to the
technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's network in
a LATA selected by EDNETICS.
2.2 Trunk Types.
2.2.1 In interconnecting their networks pursuant to this Attachment, the
Parties will use, as appropriate, the following separate and distinct
trunk groups:
2.2.1.1 Interconnection Trunks for the transmission and routing of
Reciprocal Compensation Traffic, translated LEC IntraLATA
toll free service access code (e.g., 800/888/877) traffic, and

IntraLATNInterLATA toll free service access code (e.g.
800/888/877) traffic.
EDNETICS ID Compv3.3a_07142010 55
2.2.2 Other types of trunk groups may be used by the Parties as provided in
other Attachments to this Agreement (e.g., 91 1/E-91 1 Trunks) or in
other separate agreements between the Parties (e.g., directory
assistance trunks, operator services trunks, BLV/BLVI trunks or trunks
for 500/555 traffic).
2.2.3 In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Parties will deploy
One-Way Interconnection Trunks (trunks with traffic going in one
direction, including one-way trunks and uni-directional two-way trunks)
and/or Two-Way Interconnection Trunks (trunks with traffic going in
both directions).
2.2.4 EDNETICS shall establish, at the technically feasible Point(s) of
Interconnection on Frontier's network in a LATA, separate
Interconnection Trunk group(s) between such P01(s) and each
Frontier Tandem in a LATA with a subtending End Office(s) to which
EDNETICS originates calls for Frontier to terminate.
2.2.5 In the event the volume of traffic between a Frontier End Office and a
technically feasible Point of Interconnection on Frontier's network in a
LATA, which is carried by a Final Tandem Interconnection Trunk
group, exceeds (a) the Centum Call Seconds (Hundred Call Seconds)
busy hour equivalent of one (1) DS1 at any time; (b) 200,000 minutes
of use for a single month; and/or; (c) 600 busy hour Centum Call
Seconds (BHCCS) of use for a single month: (i) if One-Way
Interconnection Trunks are used, the originating Party shall promptly
establish new or augment existing End Office One-Way
Interconnection Trunk groups between the Frontier End Office and the
technically feasible Point of Interconnection on Frontier's network; or,
(ii) if Two-Way Interconnection Trunks are used, EDNETICS shall
promptly submit an ASR to Frontier to establish new or augment
existing End Office Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group(s) between
that Frontier End Office and the technically feasible Point of
Interconnection on Frontier's network.
2.2.6 Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the total number
of Tandem Interconnection Trunks between a technically feasible
Point of Interconnection on Frontier's network and a Frontier Tandem
will be limited to a maximum of 240 trunks. In the event that the
volume of traffic between a technically feasible Point of
Interconnection on Frontier's network and a Frontier Tandem exceeds,
or reasonably can be expected to exceed, the capacity of the 240
trunks, EDNETICS shall promptly submit an ASR to Frontier to
establish new or additional End Office Trunks to insure that the volume
of traffic between the technically feasible Point of Interconnection on
Frontier's network and the Frontier Tandem does not exceed the
capacity of the 240 trunks.
2.3 One-Way Interconnection Trunks.
2.3.1 Where the Parties use One-Way Interconnection Trunks for the
delivery of traffic from EDNETICS to Frontier, EDNETICS, at
EDNETICS's own expense, shall:
2.3.1.1 provide its own facilities for delivery of the traffic to the
technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's
network in a LATA; and/or
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071420I0 56
2.3.1.2 obtain transport for delivery of the traffic to the technically
feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's network in
a LATA (a) from a third party, or, (b) if Frontier offers such
transport pursuant to a Frontier access Tariff, from Frontier.
2.3.2 For each Tandem or End Office One-Way Interconnection Trunk group
for delivery of traffic from EDNETICS to Frontier with a utilization level
of less than sixty percent (60%) for final trunk groups and eighty-five
percent (85%) for high usage trunk groups, unless the Parties agree
otherwise, EDNETICS will promptly submit ASRs to disconnect a
sufficient number of Interconnection Trunks to attain a utilization level
of approximately sixty percent (60%) for all final trunk groups and
eighty-five percent (85%) for all high usage trunk groups. In the event
EDNETICS fails to submit an ASR to disconnect One-Way
Interconnection Trunks as required by this Section, Frontier may
disconnect the excess Interconnection Trunks or bill (and EDNETICS
shall pay) for the excess Interconnection Trunks at the rates set forth
in the Pricing Attachment.
2.3.3 Where the Parties use One-Way Interconnection Trunks for the
delivery of traffic from Frontier to EDNETICS, Frontier, at Frontier's
own expense, shall provide its own facilities for delivery of the traffic to
the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's
network in a LATA.
2.4 Two-Way Interconnection Trunks.
2.4.1 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the
exchange of traffic between Frontier and EDNETICS, EDNETICS, at
its own expense, shall:
2.4.1.1 provide its own facilities to the technically feasible Point(s)
of Interconnection on Frontier's network in a LATA; and/or
2.4.1.2 obtain transport to the technically feasible Point(s) of
Interconnection on Frontier's network in a LATA (a) from a
third party, or, (b) if Frontier offers such transport pursuant
to a Frontier access Tariff, from Frontier.
2.4.2 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the
exchange of traffic between Frontier and EDNETICS, Frontier, at its
own expense, shall provide its own facilities to the technically feasible
Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's network in a LATA.
2.4.3 Prior to establishing any Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, EDNETICS
shall meet with Frontier to conduct a joint planning meeting ("Joint
Planning Meeting"). At that Joint Planning Meeting, each Party shall
provide to the other Party originating Centum Call Seconds (Hundred
Call Seconds) information, and the Parties shall mutually agree on the
appropriate initial number of End Office and Tandem Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks and the interface specifications at the
technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's network in
a LATA at which the Parties interconnect for the exchange of traffic.
Where the Parties have agreed to convert existing One-Way
Interconnection Trunks to Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, at the
Joint Planning Meeting, the Parties shall also mutually agree on the
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 57
conversion process and project intervals for conversion of such One-
Way Interconnection Trunks to Two-Way Interconnection Trunks.

2.4.4 On a semi-annual basis, EDNETICS shall submit a good faith forecast
to Frontier of the number of End Office and Tandem Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks that EDNETICS anticipates Frontier will need
to provide during the ensuing two (2) year period for the exchange of
traffic between EDNETICS and Frontier. EDNETICS's trunk forecasts
shall conform to the Frontier CLEC trunk forecasting guidelines as in
effect at that time.

2.4.5 The Parties shall meet (telephonically or in person) from time to time,
as needed, to review data on End Office and Tandem Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks to determine the need for new trunk groups
and to plan any necessary changes in the number of Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks.

2.4.6 Two-Way Interconnection Trunks shall have SS7 Common Channel
Signaling. The Parties agree to utilize B8ZS and Extended Super
Frame (ESF) DS1 facilities, where available.

2.4.7 With respect to End Office Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, both
Parties shall use an economic Centum Call Seconds (Hundred Call
Seconds) equal to five (5). Either Party may disconnect End Office
Two-Way Interconnection Trunks that, based on reasonable
engineering criteria and capacity constraints, are not warranted by the
actual traffic volume experienced.

2.4.8 Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a Frontier
access Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective
of Neal-Wilkinson B.005 during the average time consistent busy hour.
Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a Frontier local
Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of
Neal-Wilkinson B.01 during the average time consistent busy hour.
Frontier and EDNETICS shall engineer Two-Way Interconnection
Trunks using Telcordia Notes on the Networks SR 2275 (formerly
known as BOC Notes on the LEC Networks SR-TSV-002275).

2.4.9 The performance standard for final Two-Way Interconnection Trunk
groups shall be that no such Interconnection Trunk group will exceed
its design blocking objective (B.005 or B.01, as applicable) for three
(3) consecutive calendar traffic study months.

2.4.10 EDNETICS shall determine and order the-number of Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks that are required to meet the applicable design
blocking objective for all traffic carried on each Two-Way
Interconnection Trunk group. EDNETICS shall order Two-Way
Interconnection Trunks by submitting ASRs to Frontier setting forth the
number of Two-Way Interconnection Trunks to be installed and the
requested installation dates within Frontier's -effective standard
intervals or negotiated intervals, as appropriate. EDNETICS shall
complete ASRs in accordance with OBF Guidelines as in effect from
time to time.

2.4.11 Frontier may (but shall not be obligated to) monitor Two-Way
Interconnection Trunk groups using service results for the applicable
design blocking objective. If Frontier observes blocking in excess of
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 58
the applicable design objective on any Tandem Two-Way
Interconnection Trunk group and EDNETICS has not notified Frontier
that it has corrected such blocking, Frontier may submit to EDNETICS
a Trunk Group Service Request directing EDNETICS to remedy the
blocking. Upon receipt of a Trunk Group Service Request, EDNETICS
will complete an ASR to establish or augment the End Office Two-Way
Interconnection Trunk group(s), or, if mutually agreed, to augment the
Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group with excessive
blocking and submit the ASR to Frontier within five (5) Business Days.
2.4.12 The Parties will review all Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk
groups that reach a utilization level of seventy percent (70%), or
greater, to determine whether those groups should be augmented.
EDNETICS will promptly augment all Tandem Two-Way
Interconnection Trunk groups that reach a utilization level of eighty
percent (80%) by submitting ASRs for additional trunks sufficient to
attain a utilization level of approximately seventy percent (70%),
unless the Parties agree that additional trunking is not required. For
each Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group with a utilization
level of less than sixty percent (60%), unless the Parties agree
otherwise, EDNETICS will promptly submit ASRs to disconnect a
sufficient number of Interconnection Trunks to attain a utilization level
of approximately sixty percent (60%) for each respective group, unless
the Parties agree that the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks should not
be disconnected. In the event EDNETICS fails to submit an ASR for
Two-Way Interconnection Trunks in conformance with this Section,
Frontier may disconnect the excess Interconnection Trunks or bill (and
EDNETICS shall pay) for the excess Interconnection Trunks at the
applicable Frontier rates.
2.4.13 Because Frontier will not be in control of when and how many Two-
Way Interconnection Trunks are established between its network and
EDNETICS's network, Frontier's performance in connection with these
Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups shall not be subject to any
performance measurements and remedies under this Agreement, and,
except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, under any FCC or
Commission approved carrier-to-carrier performance assurance
guidelines or plan.
2.4.14 EDNETICS will route its traffic to Frontier over the End Office and
Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks in accordance with SR-
TAP-0001 91, including but not limited to those standards requiring that
a call from EDNETICS to a Frontier End Office will first be routed to
the End Office Interconnection Trunk group between EDNETICS and
the Frontier End Office.

Fiber Meet arrangement. For each Fiber Meet arrangement the
Parties agree to implement, the Parties will complete and sign a
Technical Specifications and Requirements document, the form of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A to Section 3 of the
Interconnection Attachment Fiber Meet Arrangement Provisions. Each
such document will be treated as Confidential Information.

3.1.2 The Parties agree to consider the possibility of using existing fiber
cable with spare capacity, where available, to implement any such
request for a Fiber Meet arrangement. If existing fiber cable with
spare capacity is not available, the Parties agree to minimize the
construction and deployment of fiber cable necessary for any Fiber
Meet arrangement to which they agree. Except as otherwise agreed
by the Parties, any and all Fiber Meet points established between the
Parties shall extend no further than three (3) miles from an applicable
Frontier Tandem or End Office and Frontier shall not be required to
construct or deploy more than five hundred (500) feet of fiber cable for
a Fiber Meet arrangement.

To the extent that a Fiber Meet arrangement established under this
Agreement is used for the transmission and routing of traffic of the
types set forth in Sections 3.1.3.1 and/or 3.1.3.5, other than the
obligation to pay intercarrier compensation charges pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement, neither Party shall have any obligation to pay
the other Party any charges in connection with any Fiber Meet
arrangements established under this Agreement. To the extent that a
Fiber Meet arrangement established under this Agreement is used for
the transmission and routing of traffic of the type set forth in Section
3.1.3.2, the transport and termination of such traffic shall be subject to
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 60
the rates and charges set forth in the Agreement and applicable
Tariffs. To the extent that a Fiber Meet arrangement established
under this Agreement is used for the transmission and routing of traffic
of the type set forth in Section 3.1.3.3, the Party originating such traffic
shall compensate the terminating Party for the transport and
termination of such traffic at the rates and charges set forth in the
Agreement and applicable Tariffs. To the extent that a Fiber Meet
arrangement established under this Agreement is used for the
transmission and routing of traffic of the type set forth in Section
3.1.3.4, Frontier shall charge (and EDNETICS shall pay) Frontier's
applicable rates and charges as set forth in the Agreement and
Frontier's applicable Tariffs, including transport charges to the
terminating Frontier Tandem.
3.1.4 At EDNETICS's written request, a Fiber Meet arrangement established
under this Agreement may be used for the transmission and routing of
the following traffic types over the following trunk types:
3.1.4.1 Operator services traffic from EDNETICS's Telephone

including translated InterLATA toll free service access code
(e.g., 800/888/877) traffic, between EDNETICS's Telephone
Exchange Service Customers and third-party purchasers of
Switched Exchange Access Service via a Frontier access
Tandem over Access Toll Connecting Trunks.
To the extent that a Fiber Meet arrangement established under this
Agreement is used for the transmission and routing of any traffic of the
types set forth in this Section 3.1.4 Frontier may bill (and EDNETICS
shall pay) Frontier's applicable Tariff rates and charges. Except as
otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties or as expressly set forth in
Sections 3.1.3 and/or 3.1.4 of this Interconnection Attachment, access
services (switched and unswitched) and unbundled network elements
shall not be provisioned on or accessed through Fiber Meet
arrangements.
3.1.5 EDNETICS will include traffic to be exchanged over Fiber Meet
arrangements in its forecasts provided to Frontier under the
Agreement.
4. Initiating Interconnection
4.1 If EDNETICS determines to offer Telephone Exchange Services and to
interconnect with Frontier in any LATA in which Frontier also offers Telephone
Exchange Services and in which the Parties are not already interconnected
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 61
pursuant to this Agreement, EDNETICS shall provide written notice to Frontier of
the need to establish Interconnection in such LATA pursuant to this Agreement.
4.2 The notice provided in Section 4.1 of this Attachment shall include (a) the initial
Routing Point(s); (b) the applicable technically feasible Point(s) of
Interconnection on Frontier's network to be established in the relevant LATA in
accordance with this Agreement; (c) EDNETICS's intended Interconnection
activation date; (d) a forecast of EDNETICS's trunking requirements conforming
to Section 14.2 of this Attachment; and (e) such other information as Frontier
shall reasonably request in order to facilitate Interconnection.
4.3 The interconnection activation date in the new LATA shall be mutually agreed to
by the Parties after receipt by Frontier of all necessary information as indicated
above. Within ten (10) Business Days of Frontier's receipt of EDNETICS's notice
provided for in Section 4.1 of this Attachment, Frontier and EDNETICS shall
confirm the technically feasible Point of Interconnection on Frontier's network in
the new LATA and the mutually agreed upon Interconnection activation date for
the new LATA.
5. Transmission and Routing of Telephone Exchange Service Traffic
5.1 Scope of Traffic.
Section 5 prescribes parameters for Interconnection Trunks used for
Interconnection pursuant to Sections 2 through 4 of this Attachment.
5.2 Trunk Group Connections and Ordering
5.2.1 For both One-Way and Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, if
EDNETICS wishes to use a technically feasible interface other than a
DS1 or a DS3 facility at the P01, the Parties shall negotiate reasonable
terms and conditions (including, without limitation, rates and
implementation timeframes) for such arrangement; and, if the Parties
cannot agree to such terms and conditions (including, without
limitation, rates and implementation timeframes), either Party may
utilize the Agreement's dispute resolution procedures.
5.2.2 When One-Way or Two-Way Interconnection Trunks are provisioned
using a DS3 interface facility, if EDNETICS orders the multiplexed
DS3 facilities to a Frontier Central Office that is not designated in the
NECA 4 Tariff as the appropriate Intermediate Hub location (i.e., the
Intermediate Hub location in the appropriate Tandem subtending area
based on the LERG), and the provision of such facilities to the subject
Central Office is technically feasible, the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith reasonable terms and conditions (including, without
limitation, rates and implementation timeframes) for such
arrangement; and, if the Parties cannot agree to such terms and
conditions (including, without limitation, rates and implementation
timeframes), either Party may utilize the Agreement's dispute
resolution procedures.
5.2.3 Each Party will identify its Carrier Identification Code, a three or four
digit numeric code obtained from Telcordia, to the other Party when
ordering a trunk group. -
5.2.4 For multi-frequency (MF) signaling each Party will out pulse ten (10)
digits to the other Party, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 62
5.2.5 Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor trunk
groups under its control and to augment those groups using generally
accepted trunk-engineering standards so as to not exceed blocking
objectives. Each Party agrees to use modular trunk-engineering
techniques for trunks subject to this Attachment.
5.3 Switching System Hierarchy and Trunking Requirements.
For purposes of routing EDNETICS traffic to Frontier, the subtending
arrangements between Frontier Tandems and Frontier End Offices shall be the
same as the Tandem/End Office subtending arrangements Frontier maintains for
the routing of its own or other carriers' traffic (i.e., traffic will be routed to the
appropriate Frontier Tandem subtended by the terminating End Office serving
the Frontier Customer). For purposes of routing Frontier traffic to EDNETICS,
the subtending arrangements between EDNETICS Tandems and EDNETICS
End Offices shall be the same as the Tandem/End Office subtending
arrangements that EDNETICS maintains for the routing of its own or other
carriers' traffic.
5.4 Signaling.
Each Party will provide the other Party with access to its databases and
associated signaling necessary for the routing and completion of the other
Party's traffic in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and any
applicable Tariff.
5.5 Grades of Service.
The Parties shall initially engineer and shall monitor and augment all trunk
groups consistent with the Joint Process as set forth in Section 14.1 of this
Attachment.
6. Traffic Measurement and Billing over Interconnection Trunks
6.1 For billing purposes, each Party shall pass Calling Party Number (CPN)
information on at least ninety-five percent (95%) of calls carried over the
Interconnection Trunks. In addition each party shall pass Charge Number (CN)
unaltered where it is different than CPN.
6.1.1 As used in this Section 6, "Traffic Rate" means the applicable
Reciprocal Compensation Traffic rate, Measured Internet Traffic rate,
intrastate Switched Exchange Access Service rate, interstate Switched
Exchange Access Service rate, or intrastate/interstate Tandem Transit
Traffic rate, as provided in the Pricing Attachment, an applicable Tariff,
or, for Measured Internet Traffic, the FCC Internet Orders.
6.1.2 If the originating Party passes CPN on ninety-five percent (95%) or
more of its calls, the receiving Party shall bill the originating Party the
Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for which CPN
is passed. For any remaining (up to 5%) calls without CPN
information, the receiving Party shall bill the originating Party for such
traffic at the Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic, in
direct proportion to the minutes of use of calls passed with CPN
information.
6.1.3 If the originating Party passes CPN on less than ninety-five percent
(95%) of its calls and traffic studies determine the originating Party
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 071 42010 63
combined Reciprocal Compensation Traffic and Toll Traffic on the
same trunk group, the receiving Party shall bill the higher of its
interstate Switched Exchange Access Service rates or its intrastate
Switched Exchange Access Services rates for all traffic that is passed
without CPN.
6.2 At such time as a receiving Party has the capability, on an automated basis, to
use such CPN to classify traffic delivered over Interconnection Trunks by the
other Party by Traffic Rate type (e.g., Reciprocal Compensation Traffic/Measured
Internet Traffic, intrastate Switched Exchange Access Service, interstate
Switched Exchange Access Service, or intrastate/interstate Tandem Transit
Traffic), such receiving Party shall bill the originating Party the Traffic Rate
applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for which CPN is passed. If the
receiving Party lacks the capability, on an automated basis, to use CPN
information on an automated basis to classify traffic delivered by the other Party
by Traffic Rate type, the originating Party will supply Traffic Factor 1 and Traffic
Factor 2. The Traffic Factors shall be supplied in writing by the originating Party
within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and shall be updated in writing by the
originating Party quarterly. Measurement of billing minutes for purposes of
determining terminating compensation shall be in conversation seconds (the time
in seconds that the Parties equipment is used for a completed call, measured
from the receipt of answer supervision to the receipt of disconnect supervision).
Measurement of billing minutes for originating toll free service access code (e.g.,
800/888/877) calls shall be in accordance with applicable Tariffs. Each Party
reserves the right to audit all Traffic, up to a maximum of two audits per Calendar
Year, to ensure that rates are being applied appropriately; provided, however,
that either Party shall have the right to conduct additional audit(s) if the preceding
audit disclosed material errors or discrepancies. Each Party agrees to provide
the necessary Traffic data in conjunction with any such audit in a timely manner.
Measured Internet Traffic and Reciprocal Compensation Traffic shall be
exchanged by the parties on a bill and keep basis.
6.3 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit either Party's ability to
designate the areas within which that Party's Customers may make calls which
that Party rates as "local" in its Customer Tariffs.
6.4 If and, to the extent that, a EDNETICS Customer receives V/FX Traffic,
EDNETICS shall promptly provide notice thereof to Frontier (such notice to
include, without limitation, the specific telephone number(s) that the Customer
uses for V/FX Traffic, as well as the LATA in which the Customer's station is
actually physically located) and shall not bill Frontier Reciprocal Compensation,
intercarrier compensation or any other charges for calls placed by Frontier's
Customers to such EDNETICS Customers.
7. Reciprocal Compensation Arrangements Pursuant to Section 251(b)(5) of the Act
7.1 Reciprocal Compensation.
The Parties shall exchange Reciprocal Compensation Traffic at the technically
feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's network in a LATA designated in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Party's will exchange
Reciprocal Compensation Traffic on a bill and keep basis. No additional charges
shall be assessed by the terminating Party for the transport and termination of
such traffic from the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's
network in a LATA to its Customer; provided, however, for the avoidance of any
doubt, EDNETICS shall also pay Frontier, at the rates set forth in the Pricing
Attachment, for any multiplexing, cross connects or other collocation related
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 64
Services that EDNETICS obtains from Frontier. When Toll Traffic is delivered
over the same Interconnection Trunks as Reciprocal Compensation Traffic, any
port, transport or other applicable access charges related to the delivery of Toll
Traffic from the technically feasible Point of Interconnection on Frontier's network
in a LATA to the terminating Party's Customer shall be prorated so as to apply
only to the Toll Traffic. The designation of traffic as Reciprocal Compensation
Traffic for purposes of Reciprocal Compensation shall be based on the actual
originating and terminating points of the complete end-to-end communication.
7.2 Traffic Not Subject to Reciprocal Compensation.
7.2.1 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to interstate or intrastate
Exchange Access (including, without limitation, Virtual Foreign
Exchange Traffic (i.e., V/FX Traffic), Information Access, or exchange
services for Exchange Access or Information Access.
7.2.2 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Internet Traffic.
7.2.3 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Toll Traffic, including, but
not limited to, calls originated on a 1+ presubscription basis, or on a
casual dialed (1 OXXXI1 01 XXXX) basis.
7.2.4 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Optional Extended Local
Calling Scope Arrangement Traffic.
7.2.5 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to special access, private
line, or any other traffic that is not switched by the terminating Party.
7.2.6 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Tandem Transit Traffic.
7.2.7 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Voice Information Service
Traffic (as defined in Section 5 of the Additional Services Attachment).
7.2.8 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to traffic that is not subject to
Reciprocal Compensation under Section 251 (b)(5) of the Act.
7.2.9 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Virtual Foreign Exchange
Traffic (i.e., V/FX Traffic). As used in this Agreement, "Virtual Foreign
Exchange Traffic" or "V/FX Traffic" is defined as calls in which a
EDNETICS Customer is assigned a telephone number with an NXX
Code (as set forth in the LERG) associated with an exchange that is
different than the exchange (as set forth in the LERG) associated with
the actual physical location of such Customer's station. For the
avoidance of any doubt, EDNETICS shall pay, Frontier's originating
access charges for all V/FX Traffic originated by a Frontier Customer,
and EDNETICS shall pay Frontier's terminating access charges for all
V/FX Traffic originated by a EDNETICS Customer.
8. Other Types of Traffic
8.1 [Intentionally Left Blank]
8.2 Interstate and intrastate Exchange Access, Information Access, exchange
services for Exchange Access or Information Access, and Toll Traffic, shall be
governed by the applicable provisions of this Agreement and applicable Tariffs.
8.3 For any traffic originating with a third party carrier and delivered by EDNETICS to
Frontier, EDNETICS shall pay Frontier the same amount that such third party
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _0714201 0 65
carrier would have been obligated to pay Frontier for termination of that traffic at
the location the traffic is delivered to Frontier by EDNETICS.
8.4 Any traffic not specifically addressed in this Agreement shall be treated as
required by the applicable Tariff of the Party transporting and/or terminating the.
traffic.
8.5 The Parties may also exchange Internet Traffic at the technically feasible Point(s)
of Interconnection on Frontier's network in a LATA established hereunder for the
exchange of Reciprocal Compensation Traffic. Any intercarrier compensation
that may be due in connection with the Parties' exchange of Internet Traffic shall
be applied at such technically feasible Point of Interconnection on Frontier's
network in a LATA in accordance with the FCC Internet Orders and other
applicable FCC orders and FCC Regulations.
9.Transmission and Routing of Exchange Access Traffic
9.1 Scope of Traffic.
Section 9 prescribes parameters for certain trunks to be established over the
Interconnections specified in Sections 2 through 5 of this Attachment for the
transmission and routing of traffic between EDNETICS Telephone Exchange
Service Customers and lnterexchange Carriers ("Access Toll Connecting
Trunks"), in any case where EDNETICS elects to have its End Office Switch
subtend a Frontier Tandem. This includes casually-dialed (101 CXXX and
101 XXXX) traffic.
9.2 Access Toll Connecting Trunk Group Architecture.
9.2.1 If EDNETICS chooses to subtend a Frontier access Tandem,
EDNETICS's NPNNXX must be assigned by EDNETICS to subtend
the same Frontier access Tandem that a Frontier NPA/NXX serving
the same Rate Center Area subtends as identified in the LERO.
9.2.2 EDNETICS shall establish Access Toll Connecting Trunks pursuant to
applicable access Tariffs by which it will provide Switched Exchange
Access Services to Interexchange Carriers to enable such
lnterexchange Carriers to originate and terminate traffic to and from
EDNETICS's Customers.
9.2.3 The Access Toll Connecting Trunks shall be two-way trunks. Such
trunks shall connect the End Office EDNETICS utilizes to provide
Telephone Exchange Service and Switched Exchange Access to its
Customers in a given LATA to the access Tandem(s) Frontier utilizes
to provide Exchange Access in such LATA.
9.2.4 Access Toll Connecting Trunks shall be used solely for the
transmission and routing of Exchange Access to allow EDNETICS's
Customers to connect to or be connected to the interexchange trunks
of any lnterexchange Carrier which is connected to a Frontier access
Tandem.
10.Meet-Point Billing (MPB) Arrangements
10.1 EDNETICS and Frontier will establish MPB arrangements in order to provide a
common transport option to Switched Exchange Access Services customers via
a Frontier access Tandem Switch in accordance with the MPB guidelines
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 66
contained in the OBF's MECAB and MECOD documents, except as modified
herein, and in Frontier's applicable Tariffs. The arrangements described in this
Section 10 are intended to be used to provide Switched Exchange Access
Service where the transport component of the Switched Exchange Access
Service is routed through an access Tandem Switch that is provided by Frontier.

10.2 In each LATA, the Parties shall establish MPB arrangements for the applicable
EDNETICS Routing Point/Frontier Serving Interconnection Wire Center
combinations.

10.3 Interconnection for the MPB arrangement shall occur at each of the Frontier
access Tandems in the LATA, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties.

10.4 EDNETICS and Frontier will use reasonable efforts, individually and collectively,
to maintain provisions in their respective state access Tariffs, and/or provisions
within the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) Tariff No. 4, or any
successor Tariff sufficient to reflect the MPB arrangements established pursuant
to this Agreement.

10.5 In general, there are four alternative MPB arrangements possible, which are:
Single Bill/Single Tariff, Multiple Bill/Single Tariff, Multiple Bill/Multiple Tariff, and
Single Bill/Multiple Tariff, as outlined in the OBF MECAB Guidelines.
Each Party shall implement the "Multiple Bill/Single Tariff" or "Multiple Bill/Multiple
Tariff" option, as appropriate, in order to bill an IXC for the portion of the MPB
arrangement provided by that Party. Alternatively, in fOrmer Bell Atlantic service
areas, upon agreement of the Parties, each Party may use the New York State
Access Pool on its behalf to implement the Single Bill/Multiple Tariff or Single
Bill/Single Tariff option, as appropriate, in order to bill an IXC for the portion of
the MPB arrangement provided by that Party.

10.6 The rates to be billed by each Party for the portion of the MPB arrangement
provided by it shall be as set forth in that Party's applicable Tariffs, or other
document that contains the terms under which that Party's access services are
offered. For each EDNETICS Routing Point/Frontier Serving Interconnection
Wire Center combination, the MPB billing percentages for transport between the
EDNETICS Routing Point and the Frontier Serving Interconnection Wire Center
shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 10.17 of
this Attachment.

10.7 Each Party shall provide the other Party with the billing name, billing address,
and Carrier Identification Code (CR3) of the IXC, and identification of the Frontier
Interconnection Wire Center serving the IXC in order to comply with the MPB
notification process as outlined in the MECAB document.

10.8 Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with the Terminating Switched Access Detail
Usage Data (EMI category 1 101XX records) recorded at the Frontier access
Tandem on cartridge or via such other media as the Parties may agree to, no
later than ten (10) Business Days after the date the usage occurred.

10.9 EDNETICS shall provide Frontier with the Originating Switched Access Detail
Usage Data (EMI category 1101 XX records) on cartridge or via such other media
as the Parties may agree, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date the
usage occurred.
10.10 All usage data to be provided pursuant to Sections 10.8 and 10.9 of this
Attachment shall be sent to the following addresses:

Either Party may change its address for receiving usage data by notifying the
other Party in writing pursuant to Section 29 of the General Terms and
Conditions.
10.11 EDNETICS and Frontier shall coordinate and exchange the billing account
reference (BAR) and billing account cross reference (BACR) numbers or
Operating Company Number ("OCN"), as appropriate, for the MPB arrangements
described in this Section 10. Each Party shall notify the other if the level of billing
or other BAR/BACR elements change, resulting in a new BAR/BACR number, or
if the OCN changes.
10.12 Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with notification of any errors it
discovers in MPB data within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of the
original data. The other Party shall attempt to correct the error and resubmit the
data within ten (10) Business Days of the notification. In the event the errors
cannot be corrected within such ten- (10) Business-Day period, the erroneous
data will be considered lost. In the event of a loss of data, whether due to
uncorrectable errors or otherwise, both Parties shall cooperate to reconstruct the
lost data and, if such reconstruction is not possible, shall accept a reasonable
estimate of the lost data based upon prior usage data.
10.13 Either Party may request a review or audit of the various components of access
recording up to a maximum of two (2) audits per calendar year. All costs
associated with each review and audit shall be borne by the requesting Party.
Such review or audit shall be conducted subject to Seôtlon 7 of the General
Terms and Conditions and during regular business hours. A Party may conduct
additional audits, at its expense, upon the other Party's consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
10.14 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section
10 shall create any liability for damages, losses, claims, costs, injuries, expenses
or other liabilities whatsoever on the part of either Party.
10.15 MPB will apply for all traffic bearing the 500, 900, toll free service access code
(e.g. 800/888/877) (to the extent provided by an IXC) or any other non-
geographic NPA which may be designated for such traffic in the future.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 68
10.16 In the event EDNETICS determines to offer Telephone Exchange Services in a
LATA in which Frontier operates an access Tandem Switch, Frontier shall permit
and enable EDNETICS to subtend the Frontier access Tandem Switch(es)
designated for the Frontier End Offices in the area where there are located
EDNETICS Routing Point(s) associated with the NPA NXX(s) to/from which the
Switched Exchange Access Services are homed.
10.17 Except as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, the MPB billing percentages
for each Routing Point/Frontier Serving Interconnection Wire Center combination
shall be calculated according to the following formula, unless as mutually agreed
to by the Parties:
a / (a + b) = EDNETICS Billing Percentage
and
b / (a + b) = Frontier Billing Percentage
where:
a = the airline mileage between EDNETICS Routing Point and the
actual point of interconnection for the MPB arrangement; and
b = the airline mileage between the Frontier Serving Interconnection
Wire Center and the actual point of interconnection for the MPB arrangement.
10.18 EDNETICS shall inform Frontier of each LATA in which it intends to offer
Telephone Exchange Services and its calculation of the billing percentages
which should apply for such arrangement. Within ten (10) Business Days of
EDNETICS's delivery of notice to Frontier, Frontier and EDNETICS shall confirm
the Routing Point/Frontier Serving Interconnection Wire Center combination and
billing percentages.
11. Toll Free Service Access Code (e.g., 800/888/877) Traffic
The following terms shall apply when either Party delivers toll free service access code
(e.g., 800/877/888)("8YY") calls to the other Party. For the purposes of this Section 11,
the terms 'translated and "untranslated" refers to those toll free service access code
calls that have been queried ("translated") or have not been queried ("untranslated") to
an 8YY database. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties, all EDNETICS

12. Tandem Transit Traffic
12.1 As used in this Section, Tandem Transit Traffic is Telephone Exchange Service
traffic that originates on EDNETICS's network, and is transported through
Frontier's Tandem to the subtending End Office or its equivalent of another
carrier (CLEC, ILEC other than Frontier, Commercial Mobile Radio Service
(CMRS) carrier, or other LEC ("Other Carrier"). Neither the originating nor
terminating customer is a Customer of Frontier. Subtending End Offices shall be
determined in accordance with and as identified in the Local Exchange Routing
Guide (LERG). For the avoidance of any doubt, under no circumstances shall
Frontier be required to transit traffic through a Frontier Tandem to a Central
Office that the LERG does not identify as subtending that particular Frontier
Tandem. Switched Exchange Access Service traffic is not Tandem Transit
Traffic.
12.2 Tandem Transit Traffic Service provides EDNETICS with the transport of
Tandem Transit Traffic as provided below.
EDNETICS ID Comp vS.3a_07142010 71

12.3 Tandem Transit Traffic may be routed over the Interconnection Trunks described
in Sections 2 through 6 of this Attachment. EDNETICS shall deliver each
Tandem Transit Traffic call to Frontier's Tandem with CCS and the appropriate
Transactional Capabilities Application Part ("TCAP") message to facilitate full
interoperability of CLASS Features and billing functions.

12.4 EDNETICS may use Tandem Transit Traffic Service only for traffic that originates
on EDNETICS's network and only to send traffic to an Other Carrier with whom
EDNETICS has a reciprocal traffic exchange arrangement (either via written
agreement or mutual tariffs) that provides for the Other Carrier, to terminate or
complete traffic originated by EDNETICS and to bill EDNETICS, and not to bill
Frontier, for such traffic. EDNETICS agrees not to use Frontier's Tandem Transit
Traffic Service to send traffic to an Other Carrier with whom EDNETICS does not
have such a reciprocal traffic exchange arrangement or to send traffic that does
not originate on EDNETICS's network.

12.5 EDNETICS shall pay Frontier for Tandem Transit Traffic Service at the rates
specified in the Pricing Attachment. Frontier will not be liable for compensation
to any Other Carrier for any traffic that is transported through Frontier's Tandem
and Frontier reserves the right to assess to EDNETICS any additional charges or
costs any Other Carrier imposes or levies on Frontier for the delivery or
termination of such traffic, including any Switched Exchange Access Service
charges. If Frontier is billed by any Other Carrier for any traffic originated by
EDNETICS, Frontier may provide notice to EDNETICS of such billing. Upon
receipt of such notice, EDNETICS shall immediately stop using Frontier's
Tandem Transit Traffic Service to send any traffic to such Other Carrier until it
has provided to Frontier certification that the Other Carrier has removed such
billed charges from its bill to Frontier and that the Other Carrier will not bill
Frontier for any traffic originated by EDNETICS. Such certification must be
signed by an authorized officer or agent of the Other Carrier and must be in a
form acceptable to Frontier.

12.6 If EDNETICS uses Tandem Transit Traffic Service for traffic volumes that exceed
the Centum Call Seconds (Hundred Call Seconds) busy hour equivalent of
200,000 combined minutes of use per month (a DS1 equivalent) to the
subtending End Office of a particular Other Carrier for any month (the "Threshold
Level"). EDNETICS shall use good faith efforts to establish direct
interconnection with such Other Carrier and reduce such traffic volumes below
the Threshold Level. If Frontier believes that EDNETICS has not exercised good
faith efforts promptly to obtain such direct interconnection, either Party may use
the Dispute Resolution processes of this Agreement.

12.7 If EDNETICS fails to comply with Section 12 of this Attachment, such failure shall
be a material breach of a material provision of this Agreement and Frontier may
exercise any and all remedies under this Agreement and Applicable Law for such
breach.

12.8 If or when a third party carrier plans to subtend a EDNETICS switch, then
EDNETICS shall provide written notice to Frontier at least ninety (90) days before
such subtending service arrangement becomes effective so that Frontier may
negotiate and establish direct interconnection with such third party carrier. Upon
written request from Frontier, EDNETICS shall offer to Frontier a service
arrangement equivalent to or the same as Tandem Transit Traffic Service
provided by Frontier to EDNETICS as defined in this Section such that Frontier
may terminate calls to a Central Office or its equivalent of a CLEC, ILEC other
than Frontier, CMRS carrier, or other LEC, that subtends a EDNETICS Central
Office or its equivalent ("Reciprocal Tandem Transit Service"). EDNETICS shall
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 72
offer such Reciprocal Transit Service arrangements under terms and conditions
of an amendment to this Agreement or a separate agreement no less favorable
than those provided in this Section.
12.9 Neither Party shall take any actions to prevent the other Party from entering into
a direct and reciprocal traffic exchange arrangement with any carrier to which it
originates, or from which it terminates, traffic.
13.Number Resources, Rate Center Areas and Routing Points
13.1 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or otherwise adversely
affect in any manner either Party's right to employ or to request and be assigned
any Central Office Codes ("NXX") pursuant to the Central Office Code
Assignment Guidelines and any relevant FCC or Commission orders, as may be
amended from time to time, or to establish, by Tariff or otherwise, Rate Center
Areas and Routing Points corresponding to such NXX codes.
13.2 It shall be the responsibility of each Party to program and update its own
switches and network systems pursuant to information provided on ASRs as well
as the LERG in order to recognize and route traffic to the other Party's assigned
NXX codes. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall
impose any fees or charges whatsoever on the other Party for such activities.
13.3 Unless otherwise required by Commission order, the Rate Center Areas will be
the same for each Party. During the term of this Agreement, EDNETICS shall
adopt the Rate Center Area and Rate Center Points that the Commission has
approved for Frontier within the LATA and Tandem serving area. EDNETICS
shall assign whole NPA-NXX codes to each Rate Center Area unless otherwise
ordered by the FCC, the Commission or another governmental entity of
appropriate jurisdiction, or the LEC industry adopts alternative methods of
utilizing NXXs.
13.4 EDNETICS will also designate a Routing Point for each assigned NXX code.
EDNETICS shall designate one location for each Rate Center Area in which the
EDNETICS has established NXX code(s) as the Routing Point for the NPA-NXXs
associated with that Rate Center Area, and such Routing Point shall be within the
same LATA as the Rate Center Area but not necessarily within the Rate Center
Area itself. Unless specified otherwise, calls to subsequent NXXs of EDNETICS
will be routed in the same manner as calls to EDNETICS's initial NXXs.
13.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this
Agreement is intended, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed, to in
any way constrain EDNETICS's choices regarding the size of the local calling
area(s) that EDNETICS may establish for its Customers, which local calling
areas may be larger than, smaller than, or identical to Frontier's local calling
areas.
14.Joint Network Implementation and Grooming Process; Forecasting
14.1 Joint Network Implementation and Grooming Process.
Upon request of either Party, the Parties shall jointly develop an implementation
and grooming process (the "Joint Grooming Process" or "Joint Process") which
may define and detail, inter alia:
14.1.1 standards to ensure that Interconnection Trunks experience a grade of
service, availability and quality which is comparable to that achieved
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _0714201 0 73
on interoffice trunks within Frontier's network and in accord with all
appropriate relevant industry-accepted quality, reliability and
availability standards. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement,
trunks provided by either Party for Interconnection services will be
engineered using a design-blocking objective of B.01.
14.1.2 the respective duties and responsibilities of the Parties with respect to
the administration and maintenance of the trunk groups, including, but
not limited to, standards and procedures for notification and
discoveries of trunk disconnects;
14.1.3 disaster recovery provision escalations;
14.1.4 additional technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier's
network in a LATA as provided in Section 2 of this Attachment; and
14.1.5 such other matters as the Parties may agree, including, e.g., End
Office to End Office high usage trunks as good engineering practices
may dictate.
14.2 Trunk Forecasting Requirements.
14.2.1 Initial Trunk Forecast Requirements. At least ninety (90) days before
initiating interconnection in a LATA, EDNETICS shall provide Frontier
a two (2)-year traffic forecast that complies with the Frontier
Interconnection Trunking Forecast Guide, as revised from time to time.
This initial traffic forecast will provide the amount of traffic to be
delivered to and from Frontier over each of the Interconnection Trunk
groups in the LATA over the next eight (8) quarters.
14.2.2 Ongoing Trunk Forecast Requirements. Where the Parties have
already established interconnection in a LATA, EDNETICS shall
provide a new or revised traffic forecast that complies with the Frontier
Interconnection Trunking Forecast Guide when EDNETICS develops
plans or becomes aware of information that will materially affect the
Parties' interconnection in that LATA. Instances that require a new or
revised forecast include, but are not limited to: (a) EDNETICS plans to
deploy a new switch; (b) EDNETICS plans to implement a new P01 or
network architecture; (c) EDNETICS plans to rearrange its network; (d)
EDNETICS plans to convert a One-Way Interconnection Trunk group
to a Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group; (e) EDNETICS plans to
convert a Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group to a One-Way
Interconnection Trunk group; or (f) EDNETICS expects a significant
change in interconnection traffic volume. In addition, upon request by
either Party, the Parties shall meet to: (i) review traffic and usage data
on End Office and Tandem Interconnection Trunk groups and (ii)
determine whether the Parties should establish new Interconnection
Trunk groups, augment existing Interconnection Trunk groups, or
disconnect existing Interconnection Trunks.
14.2.3 Use of Trunk Forecasts. Trunk forecasts provided pursuant to this
Agreement must be prepared in good faith but are not otherwise
binding on EDNETICS or Frontier.
15. Number Portability - Section 251(B)(2)
15.1 Scope.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 74
The Parties shall provide Number Portability (NP) in accordance with rules and
regulations as from time to time prescribed by the FCC.
15.2 Procedures for Providing LNP ("Local Number Portability").
The Parties will follow the LNP provisioning process recommended by the North
American Numbering Council (NANC) and the Industry Numbering Council (INC),
and adopted by the FCC. In addition, the Parties agree to follow the LNP
ordering procedures established at the OBF. The Parties shall provide LNP on a
reciprocal basis.
15.2.1 A Customer of one Party ("Party A") elects to become a Customer of
the other Party ("Party B"). The Customer elects to utilize the original
telephone number(s) corresponding to the Telephone Exchange
Service(s) it previously received from Party A, in conjunction with the
Telephone Exchange Service(s) it will now receive from Party B. After
Party B has received authorization from the Customer in accordance
with Applicable Law and sends an LSR to Party A, Parties A and B will
work together to port the Customer's telephone number(s) from Party
A's network to Party B's network.
15.2.2 When a telephone number is ported out of Party A's network, Party A
will remove any non-proprietary line based calling card(s) associated
with the ported number(s) from its Line Information Database (LIDB).
Reactivation of the line-based calling card in another LIDB, if desired,
is the responsibility of Party B or Party B's Customer.
15.2.3 When a Customer of Party A ports their telephone numbers to Party B
and the Customer has previously secured a reservation of line
numbers from Party A for possible activation at a future point, these
reserved but inactive numbers may be ported along with the active
numbers to be ported provided the numbers have been reserved for
the Customer. Party B may request that Party A port all reserved
numbers assigned to the Customer or that Party A port only those
numbers listed by Party B. As long as Party B maintains reserved but
inactive numbers ported for the Customer, Party A shall not reassign
those numbers. Party B shall not reassign the reserved numbers to
another Customer.
15.2.4 When a Customer of Party A ports their telephone numbers to Party B,
in the process of porting the Customer's telephone numbers, Party A
shall implement the ten-digit trigger feature where it is available.
When Party A receives the porting request, the unconditional trigger
shall be applied to the Customer's line before the due date of the
porting activity. When the ten-digit unconditional trigger is not
available, Party A and Party B must coordinate the disconnect activity.
15.2.5 The Parties shall furnish each other with the Jurisdiction Information
Parameter (JIP) in the Initial Address Message (lAM), according to
industry standards.
15.2.6 Where LNP is commercially available, the NXXs in the office shall be
defined as portable, except as noted in 15.2.7, and translations will be
changed in the Parties' switches to open those NXXs for database
queries in all applicable LNP capable offices within the LATA of the
given switch(es). On a prospective basis, all newly deployed switches
will be equipped with LNP capability and so noted in the LERG.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 75
15.2.7 All NXXs assigned to LNP capable switches are to be designated as
portable unless a NXX(s) has otherwise been designated as non-
portable. Non-portable NXXs include NXX codes assigned to paging
services; NXX codes assigned for internal testing and official use, and
any other NXX codes required to be designated as non-portable by the
rules and regulations of the FCC. NXX codes assigned to mass
calling on a choked network may not be ported using LNP technology
but are portable using methods established by the NANC and adopted
by the FCC. On a prospective basis, newly assigned codes in
switches capable of porting shall become commercially available for
porting with the effective date in the network.
15.2.8 Both Parties' use of LNP shall meet the performance criteria specified
by the FCC. Both Parties will act as the default carrier for the other
Party in the event that either Party is unable to perform the routing
necessary for LNP.

15.3 Procedures for Providing NP Through Full NXX Code Migration.
Where a Party has activated an entire NXX for a single Customer, or activated at
least eighty percent (80%) of an NXX for a single Customer, with the remaining
numbers in that NXX either reserved for future use by that Customer or otherwise
unused, if such Customer chooses to receive Telephone Exchange Service from
the other Party, the first Party shall cooperate with the second Party to have the
entire NXX reassigned in the LERG (and associated industry databases, routing
tables, etc.) to an End Office operated by the second Party. Such transfer will be
accomplished with appropriate coordination between the Parties and subject to
appropriate industry lead times for movements of NXXs from one switch to
another. Neither Party shall charge the other in connection with this coordinated
transfer.

15.4 Procedures for LNP Request.
The Parties shall provide for the requesting of End Office LNP capability on a
reciprocal basis through a written request. The Parties acknowledge that
Frontier has deployed LNP throughout its network in compliance with FCC 96-
286 and other applicable FCC Regulations.
15.4.1 If Party B desires to have LNP capability deployed in an End Office of
Party A, which is not currently capable, Party B shall issue a LNP
request to Party A. Party A will respond to the Party B, within ten (10)
days of receipt of the request, with a date for which LNP will be
available in the requested End Office. Party A shall proceed to

TRAFFIC EXCHANGE ATTACHMENT
1.General
Where both Parties subtend the same Tandem Switch operated by a third party (such
third party hereinafter referred to as the "Third Party Tandem Provider" and such switch
hereinafter referred to as the "Third Party Tandem Switch"), then, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Attachment, for those NPNNXX codes assigned by each Party to
Rate Center Areas served by that Third Party Tandem Switch, the Parties may
reciprocally exchange Reciprocal Compensation Traffic, Measured Internet Traffic,
intraLAlA Toll Traffic, and translated IntraLATA toll free service access code traffic,
originated by their respective Customers, through that Third Party Tandem Switch. For
the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in this Attachment shall preclude the Parties from
interconnecting their networks in accordance with the Interconnection Attachment, which
Interconnection Attachment must be a part of the Agreement.
2.Arrangements With Third Party Tandem Provider
2.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in order to exchange Reciprocal
Compensation Traffic, Measured Internet Traffic, IntraLATA Toll Traffic, and
translated IntraLATA toll free service access code traffic under this Attachment,
each Party must have established and must maintain its own interconnection and
compensation arrangements with the Third Party Tandem Provider for the routing
and exchange of the foregoing traffic between the Parties under this Attachment
(e.g., arrangements that permit the subject traffic to be exchanged through the
Third Party Tandem Provider). In addition, the Parties must also fulfill each of
the other requirements of this Attachment.
2.1.1 If such arrangements between a Party and the Third Party Tandem
Provider are terminated (e.g., where a Third Party Tandem Provider
does not permit a Party to exchange the foregoing traffic using the
Third Party Tandem Switch), that Party shall promptly give written
notice thereof to the other Party. Absent the existence of such
arrangements with the Third Party Tandem Provider, each Party shall
have the right, on written notice to the other Party, to discontinue
exchanging the foregoing traffic with the other Party (i.e., receiving
such traffic from or, sending such traffic to, the other Party) under this
Attachment.
2.1.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, on one
hundred twenty (120) days written notice, a Party may discontinue
exchanging the foregoing traffic with the other Party under this
Attachment.
2.2 Forecasting Requirements.
2.2.1 Within ninety (90) days of executing the Agreement, EDNETICS shall
provide Frontier a two (2)-year traffic forecast. This initial forecast will
provide the amount of traffic to be delivered to and from Frontier
pursuant to this Attachment, over the next eight (8) quarters.
2.2.2 Ongoing forecast requirements. Where the Parties are already
exchanging traffic through a Third Party Tandem Switch in a LATA,
EDNETICS shall provide a new or revised traffic forecast when
EDNETICS develops plans or becomes aware of information that will
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 78
materially affect the Parties' exchange of traffic through such Third
Party Tandem Switch in that LATA. Instances that require a new or
revised forecast include, but are not limited to: (i) EDNETICS plans to
deploy a new switch; (ii) EDNETICS plans to implement
interconnection in accordance with the Interconnection Attachment or
a new network architecture; (iii) EDNETICS plans to rearrange its
network; or (iv) EDNETICS expects a significant change in traffic
volume.
2.2.3 Use of Forecasts. Forecasts provided pursuant to this Agreement are
not binding on EDNETICSor Frontier.
2.3 Prior to exchanging traffic through a Third Party Tandem Switch, EDNETICS
shall meet with Frontier to conduct a joint planning meeting ("Third Party Tandem
Provider Joint Planning Meeting"). At that Third Party Tandem Provider Joint
Planning Meeting, each Party shall, among other things, provide to the other
Party originating Centum Call Second (Hundred Call Second) information.
2.4 If and, when, the volume of traffic exchanged between a Frontier End Office and
EDNETICS switch through a Third Party Tandem Switch exceeds (a) the Centum
Call Second (Hundred Call Second) busy hour equivalent of one (1) DS-1 at any
time; (b) 200,000 combined minutes of use for any month; (c) 600 busy hour
Centum Call Seconds (BHCCS) of use for a single month, upon the written
request of either Party, the Parties shall meet promptly and consider whether to
interconnect their respective networks pursuant to the Interconnection
Attachment. In the event the Parties so interconnect their respective networks,
the Parties shall discontinue exchanging any and all traffic through the Third
Party Tandem Switch, unless the Parties otherwise agree to continue exchanging
traffic but, on an overflow basis, through the Third Party Tandem Switch.
2.5 Nothing in this Attachment shall be read to require either Party to establish
and/or maintain a subtending arrangement with a Third Party Tandem Provider.
3.Initiating Traffic Exchange Under This Attachment
3.1 If EDNETICS determines to offer Telephone Exchange Services and wishes to
exchange traffic with Frontier through a Third Party Tandem Switch in any LATA
in which Frontier also offers Telephone Exchange Services, EDNETICS shall
provide written notice to Frontier of its request to exchange traffic through a Third
Party Tandem Switch in such LATA pursuant to this Attachment.
3.2 The notice provided in Section 3.1 of this Attachment shall include (a)
EDNETICS's proposed traffic exchange activation date; (b) a forecast of
EDNETICS's traffic volumes conforming to Section 2 of this Attachment; and (c)
such other information as Frontier shall reasonably request in order to facilitate
traffic exchange under this Attachment.
3.3 The traffic exchange activation date in the new LATA shall be mutually agreed to
by the Parties after receipt by Frontier of all necessary information as indicated in
Section 3.2 of this Attachment.
4.Traffic Measurement and Billing
4.1 The Parties agree that they will make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
and utilize accurate and complete recordings, of any traffic exchanged between
them under this Attachment, for use in billing.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 79

4.2 At such time as a receiving Party has the capability, on an automated basis, to
use CPN to classify traffic from the other Party, exchanged under this
Attachment, by traffic type (i.e., Reciprocal Compensation Traffic, Measured
Internet Traffic, intraLATA Toll Traffic, and IntraLATA toll free service access
code traffic), such receiving Party shall bill the originating Party the rate
applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for which CPN is received. If the
receiving Party lacks the capability, on an automated basis, to use CPN
information on an automated basis to classify traffic received from the other Party
by traffic type, the originating Party will supply Traffic Factor 1 and Traffic Factor
2. In any case, the Traffic Factors shall be supplied in writing by the originating
Party within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and shall be updated in writing
by the originating Party quarterly. Measurement of billing minutes for purposes
of determining terminating compensation shall be in conversation seconds (the
time in seconds that a Party's equipment is used for a completed call, measured
from the receipt of answer supervision to the receipt of disconnect supervision).
Measurement of billing minutes for originating toll free service access code (e.g.,
800/888/877) calls shall be in accordance with applicable Tariffs. Determination
as to whether traffic is Reciprocal Compensation Traffic or Measured Internet
Traffic shall be made in accordance with Paragraphs 8 and 79, and other
applicable provisions, of the FCC Internet Order (including, but not limited to, in
accordance with the rebuttable presumption established by the FCC Internet
Order that traffic delivered to a carrier that exceeds a 3:1 ratio of terminating to
originating traffic is Measured Internet Traffic, and in accordance with the
process established by the FCC Internet Order for rebutting such presumption
before the Commission).

4.3 Each Party reserves the right to audit all traffic exchanged under this Attachment,
up to a maximum of two audits per calendar year, to ensure that rates are being
applied appropriately; provided, however, that either Party shall have the right to
conduct additional audit(s) if the preceding audit disclosed material errors or
discrepancies. Each Party agrees to provide the necessary traffic data in
conjunction with any such audit in a timely manner.

4.4 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit either Party's ability to
designate the areas within which that Party's Customers may make calls which
that Party rates as "local" in its Customer Tariffs.

4.5 If and, to the extent that, a EDNETICS Customer receives V/FX Traffic
exchanged under this Attachment, EDNETICS shall promptly provide notice
thereof to Frontier (such notice to include, without limitation, the specific
telephone number(s) that the Customer uses for V/FX Traffic, as well as the
LATA in which the Customer's station is actually physically located) and shall not
bill Frontier Reciprocal Compensation, intercarrier compensation or any other
charges for calls placed by Frontier's Customers to such EDNETICS Customers.
Reciprocal Compensation Arrangements Pursuant to Section 251 (b)(5) of the Act

5.1 Reciprocal Compensation.
The Party originating Reciprocal Compensation Traffic shall compensate the
terminating Party for the transport and termination of such traffic to its Customer
in accordance with Section 251 (b)(5) of the Act at the equal and symmetrical
rates stated in the Pricing Attachment; it being understood and agreed that
because the Third Party Tandem Provider is providing the tandem functionally to
both Parties, Frontier shall charge (and EDNETICS shall pay Frontier) the End
Office Reciprocal Compensation rate set forth in the Pricing Attachment for
Reciprocal Compensation Traffic Frontier receives from EDNETICS and
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 80
EDNETICS shall charge (and Frontier shall pay EDNETICS) the End Office
Reciprocal Compensation rate set forth in the Pricing Attachment for Reciprocal
Compensation Traffic EDNETICS receives from Frontier. No additional charges
shall be assessed by the terminating Party for the transport and termination of
such traffic received from the other Party; provided, however, for the avoidance
of any doubt, neither Party may assess upon, or pass through to, the other Party
any charges billed by (or on behalf of) the Third Party Tandem Provider. The
designation of traffic as Reciprocal Compensation Traffic for purposes of
Reciprocal Compensation shall be based on the actual originating and
terminating points of the complete end-to-end communication.
5.2 Traffic Not Subject to Reciprocal Compensation.
5.2.1 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to interstate or intrastate
Exchange Access (including, without limitation, Virtual Foreign
Exchange Traffic (i.e., V/FX Traffic)), Information Access, or exchange
services for Exchange Access or Information Access.
5.2.2 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Internet Traffic.
5.2.3 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Toll Traffic, including, but
not limited to, calls originated on a 1 + presubscription basis, or on a
casual dialed (1 OXXXI1 01 XXXX) basis.
5.2.4 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Optional Extended Local
Calling Area Traffic.
5.2.5 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to special access, private
line, or any other traffic that is not switched by the terminating Party.
5.2.6 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Tandem Transit Traffic.
5.2.7 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Voice Information Service
Traffic (as defined in Section 5 of the Additional Services Attachment).
5.2.8 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to traffic that is not subject to
Reciprocal Compensation under Section 251 (b)(5) of the Act.
5.2.9 Reciprocal Compensation shall not apply to Virtual Foreign Exchange
Traffic (i.e., V/FX Traffic). As used in this Agreement, "Virtual Foreign
Exchange Traffic" or "V/FX Traffic" is defined as calls in which a
EDNETICS Customer is assigned a telephone number with an NXX
Code (as set forth in the LERG) associated with an exchange that is
different than the exchange (as set forth in the. LERG) associated with
the actual physical location of such Customer's station. For the
avoidance of any doubt, EDNETICS shall pay Frontier's originating
access charges for all V/FX Traffic originated by a Frontier Customer,
and EDNETICS shall pay Frontier's terminating access charges for all
V/FX Traffic originated by a EDNETICS Customer.
5.3 The Reciprocal Compensation rates (including, but not limited to, the Reciprocal
Compensation per minute of use charges) billed by EDNETICS to Frontier shall
not exceed the Reciprocal Compensation rates (including, but not limited to,
Reciprocal Compensation per minute of use charges) billed by Frontier to
EDNETICS.
6. Other Types of Traffic
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 81
6.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise: (a) the
Parties' rights and obligations with respect to any intercarrier compensation that
may be due in connection with their exchange of Internet Traffic shall be
governed by the terms of the FCC Internet Order and other applicable FCC
orders and FCC Regulations; and, (b) a Party shall not be obligated to pay any
intercarrier compensation for Internet Traffic that is in excess of the intercarrier
compensation for Internet Traffic that such Party is required to pay under the
FCC Internet Order and other applicable FCC orders and FCC Regulations.
6.2 Subject to Section 6.1 of this Attachment, IntraLATA Toll Traffic exchanged
under this Attachment shall be governed by the applicable provisions of this
Agreement and applicable Tariffs.
6.3 For any traffic originating with a third party carrier and delivered by EDNETICS to
Frontier, EDNETICS shall pay Frontier the same amount that such third party
carrier would have been obligated to pay Frontier for termination of that traffic at
the location the traffic is delivered to Frontier by EDNETICS.
6.4 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, no Interexchange
Carrier (IXC) traffic may be exchanged under this Attachment.
6.5 Any traffic not specifically addressed in this Attachment shall be treated as
required by the applicable Tariff of the Party transporting and/or terminating the
traffic.
7. Toll Free Service Access Code (e.g., 800/888/877) Traffic
The following terms shall apply when either Party delivers IntraLAlA toll free service
access code (e.g., 800/877/888) ("8YY") calls to the other Party under this Attachment.
For the purposes of this Section 7, the terms "translated" refer to those toll free service
access code calls that have been queried ("translated") to an 8YY database.
7.1 When EDNETICS delivers translated IntraLATA 8YY calls to Frontier for
completion:
7.1.1 by Frontier:
7.1.1.1 EDNETICS will provide an appropriate EMI record to
Frontier; and

7.1.2.3 Frontier will bill the toll free service access code service
provider Frontier's applicable Switched Exchange Access
Tariff charges.
EDNETICS lD Comp v3.3a_07142010 82
7.2 When Frontier performs the query and delivers translated lntraLATA 8YY calls,
originated by Frontier's or another LEC's Customer for completion:
7.2.1 by EDNETICS:
7.2.1.1 Frontier will provide an appropriate EMI record to
EDNETICS; and
7.2.1.2 Frontier will bill EDNETICS Frontier's applicable Switched
Exchange Access Tariff charges and Frontier's applicable
Tariff query charges.
7.2.2 by a toll free service access code service provider in that LATA:
7.2.2.1 Frontier will provide an appropriate EMI record to
EDNETICS and the toll free service access code service
provider; and
7.2.2.2 Frontier will bill the toll free service access code service
provider Frontier's applicable Switched Exchange Access
Tariff charges and Frontier's applicable Tariff query
charges; and
7.2.2.3 EDNETICS will bill the toll free service access code service
provider the EDNETICS's applicable Switched Exchange
Access Tariff charges.
7.3 Frontier will not direct untranslated toll free service access code calls to
EDNETICS. EDNETICS will not direct untranslated toll free service access code
calls to Frontier.
8. Number Resources, Rate Center Areas and Routing Points
8.1 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or otherwise adversely
affect in any manner either Party's right to employ or to request and be assigned
any Central Office Codes ("NXX") pursuant to the Central Office Code
Assignment Guidelines and any relevant FCC or Commission orders, as may be
amended from time to time, or to establish, by Tariff or otherwise, Rate Center
Areas and Routing Points corresponding to such NXX codes.
8.2 It shall be the responsibility of each Party to program and update its own
switches and network systems pursuant to information provided in the LERG in
order to recognize and route traffic to the other Party's assigned NXX codes.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall impose any
fees or charges whatsoever on the other Party for such activities.
8.3 Unless otherwise required by Commission order, the Rate Center Areas will be
the same for each Party. During the term of this Agreement, EDNETICS shall
adopt the Rate Center Area and Rate Center Points that the Commission has
approved for Frontier within the LATA and Tandem serving area. EDNETICS
shall assign whole NPA-NXX codes to each Rate Center Area unless otherwise
ordered by the FCC, the Commission or another governmental entity of
appropriate jurisdiction, or the LEC industry adopts alternative methods of
utilizing NXXs.
8.4 EDNETICS will also designate a Routing Point for each assigned NXX code.
EDNETICS shall designate one location for each Rate Center Area in which the
EDNETICS has established NXX code(s) as the Routing Point for the NPA-NXXs
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 83
associated with that Rate Center Area, and such Routing Point shall be within the
same LATA as the Rate Center Area but not necessarily within the Rate Center
Area itself. Unless specified otherwise, calls to subsequent NXXs of EDNETICS
will be routed in the same manner as calls to EDNETICS's initial NXXs.
8.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this
Agreement is intended, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed, to in
any way constrain EDNETICS's choices regarding the size of the local calling
area(s) that EDNETICS may establish for its Customers, which local calling
areas may be larger than, smaller than, or identical to Frontier's local calling
areas.
9. Number Portability - Section 251(B)(2)
9.1 Scope.
The Parties shall provide Number Portability (NP) in accordance with rules and
regulations as from time to time prescribed by the FCC.
9.2 Procedures for Providing LNP ("Local Number Portability").
The Parties will follow the LNP provisioning process recommended by the North
American Numbering Council (NANC) and the Industry Numbering Council (INC),
and adopted by the FCC. In addition, the Parties agree to follow the LNP
ordering procedures established at the OBF. The Parties shall provide LNP on a
reciprocal basis.
9.2.1 A Customer of one Party ('Party A") elects to become a Customer of
the other Party ("Party B"). The Customer elects to utilize the original
telephone number(s) corresponding to the Telephone Exchange
Service(s) it previously received from Party A, in conjunction with the
Telephone Exchange Service(s) it will now receive from Party B. After
Party B has received authorization from the Customer in accordance
with Applicable Law and sends an LSR to Party A, Parties A and B will
work together to port the Customer's telephone number(s) from Party
A's network to Party B's network.
9.2.2 When a telephone number is ported out of Party A's network, Party A
will remove any non-proprietary line based calling card(s) associated
with the ported number(s) from its Line Information Database (LIDB).
Reactivation of the line-based calling card in another LIDB, if desired,
is the responsibility of Party B or Party B's Customer.
9.2.3 When a Customer of Party A ports their telephone numbers to Party B
and the Customer has previously secured a reservation of line
numbers from Party A for possible activation at a future point, these
reserved but inactive numbers may be ported along with the active
numbers to be ported provided the numbers have been reserved for
the Customer. Party B may request that Party A port all reserved
numbers assigned to the Customer or that Party A port only those
numbers listed by Party B. As long as Party B maintains reserved but
inactive numbers ported for the Customer, Party A shall not reassign
those numbers. Party B shall not reassign the reserved numbers to
another Customer.
9.2.4 When a Customer of Party A ports their telephone numbers to Party 8,
in the process of porting the Customer's telephone numbers, Party A
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 84
shall implement the ten-digit trigger feature where it is available. When
Party A receives the porting request, the unconditional trigger shall be
applied to the Customer's line before the due date of the porting
activity. When the ten-digit unconditional trigger is not available, Party
A and Party B must coordinate the disconnect activity.
9.2.5 The Parties shall furnish each other with the Jurisdiction Information
Parameter (JIP) in the Initial Address Message (lAM).
9.2.6 Where LNP is commercially available, the NXXs in the office shall be
defined as portable, except as noted in Section 9.2.7, and translations
will be changed in the Parties' switches to open those NXXs for
database queries in all applicable LNP capable offices within the LATA
of the given switch(es). On a prospective basis, all newly deployed
switches will be equipped with LNP capability and so noted in the
LERG.
9.2.7 All NXXs assigned to LNP capable switches are to be designated as
portable unless a NXX(s) has otherwise been designated as non-
portable. Non-portable NXXs include NXX codes assigned to paging
services; NXX codes assigned for internal testing and official use and
any other NXX codes required to be designated as non-portable by the
rules and regulations of the FCC. NXX codes assigned to mass calling
on a choked network may not be ported using LNP technology but are
portable using methods established by the NANC and adopted by the
FCC. On a prospective basis, newly assigned codes in switches
capable of porting shall become commercially available for porting with
the effective date in the network.
9.2.8 Both Parties' use of LNP shall meet the performance criteria specified
by the FCC. Both Parties will act as the default carrier for the other
Party in the event that either Party is unable to perform the routing
necessary for LNP.

9.3 Procedures for Providing NP Through Full NXX Code Migration.
Where a Party has activated an entire NXX for a single Customer, or activated at
least eighty percent (80%) of an NXX for a single Customer, with the remaining
numbers in that NXX either reserved for future use by that Customer or otherwise
unused, if such Customer chooses to receive Telephone Exchange Service from
the other Party, the first Party shall cooperate with the second Party to have the
entire NXX reassigned in the LERG (and associated industry databases, routing
tables, etc.) to an End Office operated by the second Party. Such transfer will be
accomplished with appropriate coordination between the Parties and subject to
appropriate industry lead times for movements of NXXs from one switch to
another. Neither Party shall charge the other in connection with this coordinated
transfer.

9.4 Procedures for LNP Request.
The Parties shall provide for the requesting of End Office LNP capability on a
reciprocal basis through a written request. The Parties acknowledge that
Frontier has deployed LNP throughout its network in compliance with FCC 96-
286 and other applicable FCC Regulations.
9.4.1 If Party B desires to have LNP capability deployed in an End Office of
Party A, which is not currently capable, Party B shall issue a LNP
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 85
request to Party A. Party A will respond to the Party B, within ten (10)
days of receipt of the request, with a date for which LNP will be
available in the requested End Office. Party A shall proceed to
provide for LNP in compliance with the procedures and timelines set
forth in FCC 96-286, Paragraph 80, and FCC 97-74, Paragraphs 65
through 67.
9.4.2 The Parties acknowledge that each can determine the LNP-capable
End Offices of the other through the Local Exchange Routing Guide
(LERG). In addition, the Parties shall make information available upon
request showing their respective LNP-capable End Offices, as set
forth in this Section 9.4.
9.5 EDNETICS shall submit orders to port numbers electronically using an LSR via
the Frontier web Graphical User Interface ("GUI") or Electronic Data Interface
('EDI") pursuant to the instructions, business rules and guidelines set forth on the
Frontier website (formerly referred to as the Frontier wholesale website).
10. Good Faith Performance
If and, to the extent that, Frontier, prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, has not
provided in the State of Idaho a Service offered under this Attachment, Frontier reserves
the right to negotiate in good faith with EDNETICS reasonable terms and conditions
(including, without limitation, rates and implementation timeframes) for such Service; and,
if the Parties cannot agree to such terms and conditions (including, without limitation,
rates and implementation timeframes), either Party may utilize the Agreement's dispute
resolution procedures.

1.1 Frontier shall provide to EDNETICS, in accordance with this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, Frontier's applicable Tariffs) and the requirements of
the Federal Unbundling Rules, access to Frontier's Network Elements on an
unbundled basis and in combinations (Combinations), and UNEs commingled
with wholesale services ("Commingling"); provided, however, that
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Frontier shall be obligated
to provide access to unbundled Network Elements (UNEs), Combinations, and
Commingling to EDNETICS under the terms of this Agreement only to the extent
required by the Federal Unbundling Rules and may decline to provide access to
UNEs, Combinations, or Commingling to EDNETICS to the extent that provision
of such UNEs, Combinations, or Commingling is not required by the Federal
Unbundling Rules.
1.2 Frontier shall be obligated to combine UNEs that are not already combined in
Frontier's network only to the extent required by the Federal Unbundling Rules.
Except as otherwise required by this Agreement and the Federal Unbundling
Rules: (a) Frontier shall be obligated to provide a UNE or Combination pursuant
to this Agreement only to the extent such UNE or Combination, and the
equipment and facilities necessary to provide such UNE or Combination, are
already available in Frontier's network; and (b) Frontier shall have no obligation
to construct, modify, or deploy facilities or equipment to offer any UNE or
Combination.
1.3 EDNETICS may use a UNE or Combination only for those purposes for which
Frontier is required by the Federal Unbundling Rules to provide such UNE or
Combination to EDNETICS. Without limiting the foregoing, EDNETICS may not
access a UNE or Combination for the exclusive provision of Mobile Wireless
Services or lnterexchange Services. For purposes of this section,
"lnterexchange Services" shall have the meaning set forth in the Triennial
Review Remand Order and subsequent applicable FCC orders.
1.3.1 Frontier shall not be obligated to provide to EDNETICS, and
EDNETICS shall not request from Frontier, access to a proprietary
advanced intelligent network service.
1.4 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an agreement
by Frontier that any item identified in this Agreement as a Network Element is (i)
a Network Element under the Federal Unbundling Rules, or (ii) a Network
Element Frontier is required by the Federal Unbundling Rules to provide to
EDNETICS on an unbundled basis or in combination with other Network
Elements.

EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 91
1.6 Absence or Cessation of Unbundling Obligation and Related Provisions. The
following provisions shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or any Frontier Tariff or SGAT:
1.6.1 Discontinued Facilities.
1.6.1.1 Frontier may cease offering or providing EDNETICS with
access on an unbundled basis at rates prescribed under
Section 251 of the Act to any facility that is or becomes a
Discontinued Facility, whether as a stand-alone UNE, as
part of a Combination, or otherwise. To the extent Frontier
has not already ceased offering or providing unbundled
access to a particular Discontinued Facility that is a
Discontinued Facility as of the Effective Date, Frontier may
cease offering or providing unbundled access to such
Discontinued Facility immediately upon the Effective Date
without further notice to EDNETICS. Subject to Section 1.7
below, if a facility on or at any time after the Effective Date
is or becomes a Discontinued Facility, Frontier, to the extent
it has not already ceased providing unbundled access to
such Discontinued Facility, and provided it has given at
least ninety (90) days written notice of discontinuance in
cases where it has not already ceased providing such
access, will continue to provide unbundled access to such
Discontinued Facility under the Agreement only through the
effective date of the notice of discontinuance, and not
beyond that date.
1.6.1.2 Where Frontier is permitted to cease providing a
Discontinued Facility pursuant to Section 1.6.1 above and
EDNETICS has not submitted an LSR or ASR, as
appropriate, to Frontier requesting disconnection of the
Discontinued Facility and has not separately secured from
Frontier an alternative arrangement to replace the
Discontinued Facility, then Frontier, to the extent it has not
already done so, may disconnect the subject Discontinued
Facility without further notice to EDNETICS. In lieu of
disconnecting the subject Discontinued Facility in the
foregoing circumstances, Frontier, in its sole discretion, may
elect to: (a) convert the subject Discontinued Facility to an
arrangement available under a Frontier access tariff (in
which case month-to-month rates shall apply unless a
different rate applies under an applicable special access
term/volume plan or other special access tariff arrangement
in which EDNETICS is then enrolled), a resale
arrangement, or other analogous arrangement that Frontier
shall identify or has identified in writing to EDNETICS, or (b)
in lieu of such a conversion, reprice the subject
Discontinued Facility by application of a new rate (or, in
Frontier's sole discretion, by application of a surcharge to
an existing rate) to be equivalent to an arrangement
available under a Frontier access tariff (at month-to-month
rates unless a different rate applies under an applicable
special access term/volume plan or other special access
tariff arrangement in which EDNETICS is then enrolled), a
resale arrangement, or other analogous arrangement that
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 92
Frontier shall identify or has identified in writing to
EDNETICS; provided, however, that Frontier may
disconnect the subject Discontinued Facility (or the
replacement service to which the Discontinued Facility has
been converted) if EDNETICS fails to pay when due any
applicable new rate or surcharge billed by Frontier.
1.7 TRRO Certification and Related Provisions.
1.7.1 TRRO Certification. Before requesting unbundled access to a DS1
Loop, a DS3 Loop, DS1 Dedicated Transport, DS3 Dedicated
Transport, or Dark Fiber Transport, including, but not limited to, any of
the foregoing elements that constitute part of a Combination or that
EDNETICS seeks to convert from another wholesale service to an
unbundled network element (collectively, "TRRO Certification
Elements), EDNETICS must undertake a reasonably diligent inquiry
and, based on that inquiry, certify that, to the best of its knowledge,
EDNETICS's request is consistent with the requirements of the TRRO
and that EDNETICS is entitled to unbundled access to the subject
element pursuant to section 251 (c)(3) of the Act. EDNETICS shall
provide such certification using the automated method that Frontier
makes available for that purpose. EDNETICS's reasonably diligent
inquiry must include, at a minimum, consideration of any list of non-
impaired UNE Wire Centers that Frontier makes or has made available
to EDNETICS by notice and/or by publication on Frontier's wholesale
website (the "Wire Center List") and any back-up data that Frontier
provides or has provided to EDNETICS under a non-disclosure
agreement or that is otherwise available to EDNETICS.
1.7.2 Provision-then-Dispute Requirements.
1.7.2.1 Upon receiving a request from EDNETICS for unbundled
access to a TRRO Certification Element and the certification
required by Section 1.7.1 above, and except as provided in
Section 1.7.2.3 below, Frontier shall process the request in
accordance with any applicable standard intervals. If
Frontier wishes to challenge EDNETICS's right to obtain
unbundled access to the subject element pursuant to 47
U.S.C. § 251 (c)(3), then (except as provided in Section
1.7.2.3 below) Frontier must provision the subject element
as a UNE and then seek resolution of the dispute by the
Commission or the FCC, or through such other dispute
resolution process that Frontier elects to invoke under the
dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement.
1.7.2.2 If a dispute pursuant to section 1.7.2.1 above is resolved in
Frontier's favor, then EDNETICS shall compensate Frontier
for the additional charges that would apply if EDNETICS
had ordered the subject facility or service on a month-to-
month term under Frontier's interstate special access tariff
(except as provided in section 1.7.2.2.1 below as to Dark
Fiber Transport) and any other applicable charges,
applicable back to the date of provisioning (including, but
not limited to, late payment charges for the unpaid
difference between LINE and access tariff rates). The
month-to-month rates shall apply until such time as
EDNETICS requests disconnection of the subject facility or
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 93
an alternative term that Frontier offers under its interstate
special access tariff for the subject facility or service.
1.7.2.2.1 In the case of Dark Fiber Transport (there being
no analogous service under Frontiers access
tariffs), the monthly recurring charges that
Frontier may charge, and that EDNETICS shall
be obligated to pay, for each circuit shall be the
charges for the commercial service that Frontier,
in its sole discretion, determines to be
analogous to the subject Dark Fiber Transport
and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the
Parties, Frontier may, without further notice,
disconnect the subject dark fiber facility within
thirty (30) days of the date on which the dispute
is resolved in Frontier's favor. In any case
where EDNETICS, within thirty (30) days of the
date on which the dispute is resolved in
Frontier's favor, submits a valid ASR for a 'lit'
service to replace the subject Dark Fiber
Transport facility, Fontiêrshall continue to
provide the Dark Fiber Transport facility at the
rates specified above, but only for the duration
of the standard interval for installation of the lit'
service.
1.7.2.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement,
Frontier may reject a EDNETICS order for a TRRO
Certification Element without first seeking dispute
resolution: (a) in any case where EDNETICS's order
conflicts with a provision of a Frontier Tariff, (b) in any case
where EDNETICS's order conflicts with a non-impaired
UNE Wire Center designation set forth in a Wire Center List
that Frontier has made available to EDNETICS by notice
and/or by publication on Frontier's wholesale website, (c) in
any case where EDNETICS's order conflicts with a non-
impaired UNE Wire Center designation that the Commission
or the FCC has ordered or approved or that has otherwise
been confirmed through previous dispute resolution
(regardless of whether EDNETICS was a party to such
dispute resolution), or (d) as otherwise permitted under the
Federal Unbundling Rules (including, but not limited to,
upon a determination by the Commission, the FCC, or a
court of competent jurisdiction that Frontier may reject
orders for TRRO Certification Elements without first seeking
dispute resolution).
1.8 Limitation With Respect to Replacement Arrangements. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, any negotiations regarding any UNE-
replacement arrangement, facility, service or the like that Frontier is not required
to provide under the Federal Unbundling Rules (including without limitation any
arrangement, facility, service or the like that Frontier offers under an access tariff)
shall be deemed not to have been conducted pursuant to the Agreement, 47
U.S.C. § 252(a)(1), or 47 C.F.R. Part 51, and shall not be subject to arbitration or
other requirements under to 47 U.S.C. § 252(b). Any reference in this
Attachment to Frontier's provision of a arrangement, facility, service or the like
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 94

EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 99
3.1.15 Frontier shall make Conditioned Loops available to EDNETICS at the
rates as set forth in the Pricing Attachment.
3.2 The following ordering procedures shall apply to xDSL Compatible Loops, Digital
Designed and Conditioned Loops:
3.2.1 EDNETICS shall place orders for xDSL Compatible Loops, Digital
Designed and Conditioned Loops by delivering to Frontier a valid
electronic transmittal Service Order or other mutually agreed upon
type of Service Order. Such Service Order shall be provided in
accordance with industry format and specifications or such format and
specifications as may be agreed to by the Parties.
3.2.2 In former Bell Atlantic Service Areas, Frontier is conducting a
mechanized survey of existing Loop facilities, on a Central Office by
Central Office basis, to identify those Loops that meet the applicable
technical characteristics established by Frontier for compatibility with
xDSL Compatible or BRI ISDN signals. The results of this survey will
be stored in a mechanized database and made available to
EDNETICS as the process is completed in each Central Office.
EDNETICS must utilize this mechanized loop qualification database,
where available, in advance of submitting a valid electronic transmittal
Service Order for an xDSL Compatible or BRI ISDN Loop. Charges
for mechanized loop qualification information are set forth in the
Pricing Attachment. In former GTE Service Areas, Frontier provides
access to mechanized xDSL loop qualification information to help
identify those loops that meet applicable technical characteristics for
compatibility with xDSL Services that the CLEC may wish to offer to its
end user Customers. EDNETICS must access Frontier's mechanized
loop qualification system through the use of the on-line computer
interface at www.frontier.com in advance of submitting a valid
electronic transmittal Service Order for xDSL service arrangements.
The loop qualification information provided by Frontier gives
EDNETICS the ability to determine loop composition and loop length,
and may provide other loop characteristics, when present, that may
indicate incompatibility with xDSL Services such as load coils or Digital
Loop Carrier, Information provided by the mechanized loop
qualification system also indicates whether loop conditioning may be
necessary. It is the responsibility of EDNETICS to evaluate the loop
qualification information provided by Frontier and determine whether a
loop meets EDNETICS requirements for xDSL Service, including
determining whether conditioning should be ordered, prior to
submitting an Order.
3.2.3 If the Loop is not listed in the mechanized database described in
Section 3.2.2 of this Attachment, EDNETICS must request a manual
loop qualification, where such qualification is available, prior to
submitting a valid electronic Service Order for an xDSL Compatible or
BRI ISDN Loop. In general, Frontier will complete a manual loop
qualification request within three (3) Business Days, although Frontier
may require additional time due to poor record conditions, spikes in
demand, or other unforeseen events. The manual loop qualification
process is currently available in the former Bell Atlantic Service Areas
only.
3.2.4 If a query to the mechanized loop qualification database or manual
loop qualification indicates that a Loop does not qualify (e.g., because
EDNETICS IDCompv3.3a_07142010 100
it does not meet the applicable technical parameters set forth in the
Loop descriptions above), EDNETICS may request an Engineering
Query, where available, as described in Section 3.2.7 of this
Attachment, to determine whether the result is due to characteristics of
the loop itself (e.g., specific number and location of bridged taps, the
specific number of load coils, or the gauge of the cable).

3.2.5 Once a Loop has been pre-qualified, EDNETICS will submit a Service
Order pursuant to Section 3.2.1 of this Attachment if it wishes to obtain
the Loop.
3.2.5.1 If the Loop is determined to be xDSL Compatible and if the
Loop serving the serving address is usable and available to
be assigned as a xDSL Compatible Loop, Frontier will
initiate standard Loop provisioning and installation
processes, and standard Loop provisioning intervals will
apply.
3.2.5.2 If the Loop is determined to be xDSL Compatible, but the
Loop serving the service address is unusable or unavailable
to be assigned as an xDSL Compatible Loop, Frontier will
search the Customer's serving terminal for a suitable spare
facility. If an xDSL Compatible Loop is found within the
serving terminal, Frontier will perform a Line and Station
Transfer (or "pair swap") whereby the Frontier technician
will transfer the Customer's existing service from one
existing Loop facility onto an alternate existing xDSL
Compatible Loop facility serving the same location. Frontier
performs Line and Station Transfers in accordance with the
procedures developed in the DSL Collaborative in the State
of New York, NY PSC Case 00-C-0127. Standard intervals
do not apply when Frontier performs a Line and Station
Transfer, and additional charges shall apply as set forth in
the Pricing Attachment.

3.2.6 If EDNETICS submits a Service Order for an xDSL Compatible or BRI
ISDN Loop that has not been prequalified, Frontier will query the
Service Order back to EDNETICS for qualification and will not accept
such Service Order until the Loop has been prequalified on a
mechanized or manual basis. If EDNETICS submits a Service Order
for an xDSL Compatible or BRI ISDN Loop that is, in fact, not
compatible with the requested service (e.g. ADSL, HDSL etc.) in its
existing condition, Frontier will respond back to EDNETICS with a
"Nonqualified" indicator and with information showing whether the non-
qualified result is due to the presence of load coils, presence of digital
loop carrier, or loop length (including bridged tap).

3.2.7 Where EDNETICS has followed the prequalification procedure
described above and has determined that a Loop is not compatible
with xDSL technologies or BRI ISDN service in its existing condition, it
may either request an Engineering Query, where available, to
determine whether conditioning may make the Loop compatible with
the applicable service; or if EDNETICS is already aware of the
conditioning required (e.g., where EDNETICS has previously
requested a qualification and has obtained loop characteristics),
EDNETICS may submit a Service Order for a Digital Designed Loop.
Frontier will undertake to condition or extend the Loop in accordance
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_o7142o10 101
with this Section 3.2 of this Attachment upon receipt of EDNETICS's
valid, accurate and pre-qualified Service Order for a Digital Designed
Loop.
3.2.8 The Parties will make reasonable efforts to coordinate their respective
roles in order to minimize provisioning problems. In general, where
conditioning or loop extensions are requested by EDNETICS, an
interval of eighteen (18) Business Days will be required by Frontier to
complete the loop analysis and the necessary construction work
involved in conditioning and/or extending the loop as follows:
3.2.8.1 Three (3) Business Days will be required following receipt of
EDNETICS's valid, accurate and pre-qualified Service
Order for a Digital Designed or Conditioned Loop to analyze
the loop and related plant records and to create an
Engineering Work Order.
3.2.8.2 Upon completion of an Engineering Work Order, Frontier
will initiate the construction order to perform the
changes/modifications to the Loop requested by
EDNETICS. Conditioning activities are, in most cases, able
to be accomplished within fifteen (15) Business Days.
Unforeseen conditions may add to this interval.
After the engineering and conditioning tasks have been completed, the
standard Loop provisioning and installation process will be initiated,
subject to Frontier's standard provisioning intervals.
3.2.9 If EDNETICS requires a change in scheduling, it must contact Frontier
to issue a supplement to the original Service Order. If EDNETICS
cancels the request for conditioning after a loop analysis has been
completed but prior to the commencement of construction work,
EDNETICS shall compensate Frontier for an Engineering Work Order
charge as set forth in the Pricing Attachment. If EDNETICS cancels
the request for conditioning after the loop analysis has been
completed and after construction work has started or is complete,
EDNETICS shall compensate Frontier for an Engineering Work Order
charge as well as the charges associated with the conditioning tasks
performed as set forth in the Pricing Attachment.
3.3 Conversion of Live Telephone Exchange Service to Analog 2W Unbundled Local
Loops (Analog 2W Loops).
3.3.1 The following coordination procedures shall apply to "live" cutovers of
Frontier Customers who are converting their Telephone Exchange
Services to EDNETICS Telephone Exchange Services provisioned
over Analog 2W Loops to be provided by Frontier to EDNETICS:
3.3.1.1 Coordinated cutover charges shall apply to conversions of
live Telephone Exchange Services to Analog 2W Loops.
When an outside dispatch is required to perform a
conversion, additional charges may apply. If EDNETICS
does not request a coordinated cutover, Frontier will
process EDNETICS's order as a new installation subject to
applicable standard provisioning intervals.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 102

3.3.1.2 EDNETICS shall request Analog 2W Loops for coordinated
cutover from Frontier by delivering to Frontier a valid
electronic Local Service Request ("LSR"). Frontier agrees
to accept from EDNETICS the date and time for the
conversion designated on the LSR ("Scheduled Conversion
Time"), provided that such designation is within the regularly
scheduled operating hours of the Frontier Regional CLEC
Control Center ("RCCC") and subject to the availability of
Frontier's work force. In the event that Frontier's work force
is not available, EDNETICS and Frontier shall mutually
agree on a New Conversion Time, as defined below.
EDNETICS shall designate the Scheduled Conversion Time
subject to Frontier standard provisioning intervals as stated
in the Frontier CLEC Handbook; as may be revised from
time to time. Within three (3) Business Days of Frontiers
receipt of such valid LSR, or as otherwise required by the
Federal Unbundling Rules, Frontier shall provide
EDNETICS the scheduled due date for conversion of the
Analog 2W Loops covered by such LSR.

3.3.1.3 EDNETICS shall provide dial tone at the EDNETICS
collocation site at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the
Scheduled Conversion Time.

3.3.1.4 Either Party may contact the other Party to negotiate a new
Scheduled Conversion Time (the "New Conversion Time");
provided, however, that each Party shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide four (4) business hours'
advance notice to the other Party of its request for a New
Conversion Time. Any Scheduled Conversion Time or New
Conversion Time may not be rescheduled more than one
(1) time in a Business Day, and any two New Conversion
Times for a particular Analog 2W Loop shall differ by at
least eight (8) hours, unless otherwise agreed to by the
Parties.

3.3.1.5 If the New Conversion Time is more than one (1) business
hour from the original Scheduled Conversion Time or from
the previous New Conversion Time, the Party requesting
such New Conversion Time shall be subject to the following:
3.3.1.5.1 If Frontier requests to reschedule outside of the
one (1) hour time frame above, the Analog 2W
Loops Service Order Charge for the original
Scheduled Conversion Time or the previous
New Conversion Time shall be credited upon
request from EDNETICS; and
3.3.1.5.2 If EDNETICS requests to reschedule outside the
one (1) hour time frame above, EDNETICS shall
be charged an additional Analog 2W Loops
Service Order Charge for rescheduling the
conversion to the New Conversion Time.

3.3.1.6 If EDNETICS is not ready to accept service at the
Scheduled Conversion Time or at a New Conversion Time,
as applicable, an additional Service Order Charge shall
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 103
apply. If Frontier is not available or ready to perform the
conversion within thirty (30) minutes of the Scheduled
Conversion Time or New Conversion Time, as applicable,
Frontier and EDNETICS will reschedule and, upon request
from EDNETICS, Frontier will credit the Analog 2W Loop
Service Order Charge for the original Scheduled
Conversion Time.
3.3.1.7 The standard time interval expected from disconnection of a
live Telephone Exchange Service to the connection of the
Analog 2W Loops to EDNETICS is fifteen (15) minutes per
Analog 2W Loop for all orders consisting of twenty (20)
Analog 2W Loops or less. Orders involving more than
twenty (20) Loops will require a negotiated interval.
3.3.1.8 Conversions involving LNP will be completed according to
North American Numbering Council (NANC) standards, via
the regional Number Portability Administration Center
(NPAC).
3.3.1.9 If EDNETICS requires Analog 2W Loop conversions outside
of the regularly scheduled Frontier RCCC operating hours,
such conversions shall be separately negotiated. Additional
charges (e.g. overtime labor charges) may apply for desired
dates and times outside of regularly scheduled RCCC
operating hours.

FCC, then in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, the
Federal Unbundling Rules, Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with
unbundled access to the existing time division multiplexing features,
functions, and capabilities of that Hybrid Loop, including DS1 or DS3
capacity (but only where impairment has been found to exist, which,
for the avoidance of any doubt, does not include instances where
Frontier is not required to provide unbundled access to a DS1 Loop or
a DS3 Loop under Section 1 of this Attachment) to establish a
complete time division multiplexing transmission path between the
main distribution frame (or equivalent) in a Frontier End Office serving
an end user to the demarcation point at the end user's Customer
premises. This access includes access to all features, functions, and
capabilities of the Hybrid Loop that are not used to transmit packetized
information.

3.6.3 Narrowband Services. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1
of this Attachment, when EDNETICS seeks access to a Hybrid Loop
for the provision to its Customer of "narrowband services", as such
term is defined by the FCC, then in accordance with, but only to the
extent required by, the Federal Unbundling Rules, Frontier shall, in its
sole discretion, either (a) provide access to a spare home-run copper
Loop serving that Customer on an unbundled basis, or (b) provide
access, on an unbundled basis, to a DSO voice-grade transmission
path between the main distribution frame (or equivalent) in the end
user's serving End Office and the end user's Customer premises,
using time division multiplexing technology:

3.6.4 IDLC Hybrid Loops and Loops Provisioned via Loop Concentrator.
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment, if
EDNETICS requests, in order to provide narrowband services,
unbundling of a 2 wire analog or 4 wire analog Loop currently

3.6.4.3 Frontier may exclude its performance in connection with
providing unbundled Loops pursuant to this Section 3.6.4
from standard provisioning intervals and performance
measures and remedies, if any, contained in the Agreement
or elsewhere.
4. Line Splitting (also referred to as "Loop Sharing")
4.1 Line Splitting is a process in which one CLEC provides narrowband voice service
over the low frequency portion of an unbundled copper Loop obtained from
Frontier (such CLEC may be referred to as the "VLEC") and a second CLEC
provides digital subscriber line service over the high frequency portion of that
same Loop (such CLEC may be referred to as the "DLEC). Line Splitting is
accomplished through the use of a splitter collocated at the Frontier central office
where the Loop terminates into a distribution frame or its equivalent.
4.2 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment, EDNETICS
may engage in Line Splitting, in accordance with this Section 4 and the rates and
charges provided for in the Pricing Attachment. Frontier shall provide access to
Line Splitting in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, the Federal
Unbundling Rules.
4.3 Any Line Splitting between EDNETICS and another CLEC shall be accomplished
by prior negotiated arrangement between EDNETICS and the other CLEC.
EDNETICS shall give Frontier written notice of this arrangement through the
Frontier Local Service Customer Profile Form (formerly referred to as the
Frontier Wholesale Local Service Customer Profile Form) on the Frontier
website (formerly referred to as the Frontier wholesale website), or such other
electronic notice mechanism that Frontier may make available, at least thirty (30)
days prior to placing an order for a Line Splitting arrangement with such other
CLEC. The other CLEC must have an interconnection agreement with Frontier
that permits it to engage in Line Splitting with EDNETICS. The VLEC shall be
responsible for all rates and charges associated with the subject Loop as well as
rates and charges associated with the DLEC's use of the high frequency portion
of the Loop, including, but not limited to, service order charges, provisioning and
installation charges, central office wiring, loop qualification charges, and OSS
charges.
4.4 In order to facilitate EDNETICS's engaging in Line Splitting pursuant to this
Section 4, EDNETICS may order for use in a Line Splitting arrangement, those
Network Elements, Combinations, Collocation arrangements, services, facilities,
equipment and arrangements, appropriate for Line Splitting, that are offered to
EDNETICS by Frontier under the other sections of this Agreement. Such

6.Sub-Loop
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment and upon request by
EDNETICS, Frontier shall allow EDNETICS to access Sub-Loops unbundled from local
switching and transport, in accordance with the terms of this Section 6 and the rates and
charges set forth in the Pricing Attachment. Frontier shall allow EDNETICS access to
Sub-Loops in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, the Federal Unbundling
Rules. The available Sub-Loop types are as set forth below.
6.1 Unbundled Sub-LooD Arrangement— Distribution (USLA).
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment and upon
request by EDNETICS, Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with access to a Sub-
Loop Distribution Facility in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and
provisions of this Section 6.1, the rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment, and
the rates, terms and conditions set forth in Frontier's applicable Tariffs. Frontier
shall provide EDNETICS with access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility in
accordance with, but only to the extent required by, the Federal Unbundling
Rules.
6.1.1 EDNETICS may request that Frontier reactivate (if available) an
unused drop and NID or provide EDNETICS with access to a drop and
NID that, at the time of EDNETICS's request, Frontier is using to
provide service to the Customer (as such term is hereinafter defined).
6.1.2 Upon site-specific request, EDNETICS may obtain access to the Sub-
Loop Distribution Facility at a technically feasible access point located
near a Frontier remote terminal equipment enclosure at the rates and
EDNETICS ID Compv3.3a_07142010 107
charges provided for in the Pricing Attachment. It is not technically
feasible to access the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility if a technician
must access the facility by removing a splice case to reach the wiring
within the cable. EDNETICS may obtain access to a Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility through any method required by the Federal
Unbundling Rules, in addition to existing methods such as from a
Telecommunications outside plant interconnection cabinet (TOPIC) or,
if EDNETICS is collocated at a remote terminal equipment enclosure
and the FDI for such Sub-Loop Distribution Facility is located in such
enclosure, from the collocation arrangement of EDNETICS at such
terminal. If EDNETICS obtains access to a Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility from a TOPIC, EDNETICS shall install a TOPIC on an
easement or Right of Way obtained by EDNETICS within 100 feet of
the Frontier FDI to which such Sub-Loop Distribution Facility is
connected. A TOPIC must comply with applicable industry standards.
Subject to the terms of applicable Frontier easements, Frontier shall
furnish and place an interconnecting cable between a Frontier FDI and
a EDNETICS TOPIC and Frontier shall install a termination block
within such TOPIC. Frontier shall retain title to and maintain the
interconnecting cable. Frontier shall not be responsible for building,
maintaining or servicing the TOPIC and shall not provide any power
that might be required by EDNETICS for any of EDNETICSs
electronics in the TOPIC. EDNETICS shall provide any easement,
Right of Way or trenching or supporting structure required for any
portion of an interconnecting cable that runs beyond a Frontier
easement.

6.1.3 EDNETICS may request from Frontier by submitting a loop make-up
engineering query to Frontier, and Frontier shall provide to
EDNETICS, the following information regarding a Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility that serves an identified Customer: the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility's length and gauge; whether the Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility has loading and bridged tap; the amount of bridged
tap (if any) on the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility; and, the location of
the FDI to which the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility is connected.

6.1.4 To order access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility from a TOPIC,
EDNETICS must first request that Frontier connect the Frontier FDI to
which the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility is connected to a EDNETICS
TOPIC. To make such a request, EDNETICS must submit to Frontier
an application (a "Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection
Application") that identifies the FDI at which EDNETICS wishes to
access the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility. A Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility Interconnection Application shall state the location of the
TOPIC, the size of the interconnecting cable and a description of the
cable's supporting structure. A Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
Interconnection Application shall also include a five-year forecast of
EDNETICS's demand for access to Sub-Loop Distribution Facilities at
the requested FDI. EDNETICS must submit the application fee set
forth in the Pricing Attachment attached hereto and Frontier's
applicable Tariffs (a "Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Application Fee")
with Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection Application.
EDNETICS must submit Sub-Loop Interconnection Applications to:
EDNETICS's Account Manager
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _0714201 0 108

6.1.5 Within sixty (60) days after it receives a complete Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility Interconnection Application for access to a Sub-
Loop Distribution Facility and the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility
Application Fee for such application, Frontier shall provide to
EDNETICS a work order that describes the work that Frontier must
perform to provide such access (a "Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Work
Order") and a statement of the cost of such work (a "Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility Interconnection Cost Statement").

6.1.6 EDNETICS shall pay to Frontier fifty percent (50%) of the cost set forth
in a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Interconnection Cost Statement
within sixty (60) days of EDNETICS's receipt of such statement and
the associated Sub-Loop Distribution Facility Work Order, and Frontier
shall not be obligated to perform any of the work set forth in such order
until Frontier has received such payment. A Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility Interconnection Application shall be deemed to have been
withdrawn if EDNETICS breaches its payment obligation under this
Section. Upon Frontier's completion of the work that Frontier must
perform to provide EDNETICS with access to a Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility, Frontier shall bill EDNETICS, and EDNETICS shall pay to
Frontier, the balance of the cost set forth in the Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility Interconnection Cost Statement for such access.

6.1.7 After Frontier has completed the installation of the interconnecting
cable to a EDNETICS TOPIC and EDNETICS has paid the full cost of
such installation, EDNETICS can request the connection of Frontier
Sub-Loop Distribution Facilities to the EDNETICS TOPIC. At the
same time, EDNETICS shall advise Frontier of the services that
EDNETICS plans to provide over the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility,
request any conditioning of the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility and
assign the pairs in the interconnecting cable. EDNETICS shall run any
crosswires within the TOPIC.

6.1.8 If EDNETICS requests that Frontier reactivate an unused drop and
NID, then EDNETICS shall provide dial tone (or its DSL equivalent) on
the EDNETICS side of the applicable Frontier FDI at least twenty-four
(24) hours before the due date. On the due date, a Frontier technician
will run the appropriate cross connection to connect the Frontier Sub-
Loop Distribution Facility to the EDNETICS dial tone or equivalent
from the TOPIC. If EDNETICS requests that Frontier provide
EDNETICS with access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility that, at the
time of EDNETICS's request, Frontier is using to provide service to a
Customer, then, after EDNETICS has looped two interconnecting pairs
through the TOPIC and at least twenty four (24) hours before the due
date, a Frontier technician shall crosswire the dial tone from the
Frontier central office through the Frontier side of the TOPIC and back
out again to the Frontier FDI and Frontier Sub-Loop Distribution
Facility using the "loop through" approach. On the due date,
EDNETICS shall disconnect Frontier's dial tone, crosswire its dial tone
to the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility and submit EDNETICS's LNP
request.

6.1.9 Frontier will not provide access to a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility if
Frontier is using the loop of which the Sub-Loop Distribution Facility is
a part to provide line sharing service to another CLEC or a service that
uses derived channel technology to a Customer unless such other
EDNETICSID Comp v3.3a_07142010 109
CLEC first terminates the Frontier-provided line sharing or such
Customer first disconnects the service that utilizes derived channel
technology.
6.1.10 Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with access to a Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility in accordance with negotiated intervals
6.1.11 Frontier shall repair and maintain a Sub-Loop Distribution Facility at
the request of EDNETICS and subject to the time and material rates
set forth in Pricing Attachment and the rates, terms and conditions of
Frontier's applicable Tariffs. EDNETICS accepts responsibility for
initial trouble isolation for Sub-Loop Distribution Facilities and
providing Frontier with appropriate dispatch information based on its
test results. If (a) EDNETICS reports to Frontier a Customer trouble,
(b) EDNETICS requests a dispatch, (c) Frontier dispatches a
technician, and (d) such trouble was not caused by Frontier Sub-Loop
Distribution Facility facilities or equipment in whole or in part,
EDNETICS shall pay Frontier the charges set forth in the Pricing
Attachment and Frontier's applicable Tariffs for time associated with
said dispatch. In addition, these charges also apply when the
Customer contact as designated by EDNETICS is not available at the
appointed time. If as the result of EDNETICS instructions, Frontier is
erroneously requested to dispatch to a site on Frontier company
premises ("dispatch in"), the charges set forth in Pricing Attachment
and Frontier's applicable Tariffs will be assessed per occurrence to
EDNETICS by Frontier. If as the result of EDNETICS instructions,
Frontier is erroneously requested to dispatch to a site outside of
Frontier company premises ("dispatch out"), the charges set forth in
Pricing Attachment and Frontier's applicable Tariffs will be assessed
per occurrence to EDNETICS by Frontier.

8.Dark Fiber Transport and Transitional Provision of Embedded Dark Fiber Loops
8.1 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment and upon
request by EDNETICS, Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with access to
unbundled Dark Fiber Transport in accordance with, and subject to, the rates,
terms and conditions provided in the Pricing Attachment and rates, terms and
conditions of Frontier's applicable Tariffs. Frontier shall not be required to
provide, and EDNETICS shall not request or obtain, unbundled access to any
dark fiber facility that does not meet the definition of Dark Fiber Transport (except
to the extent Frontier is required to provide EDNETICS with unbundled access to
EDNETICS's embedded base of Dark Fiber Loops under Section 8.3 below). For
the avoidance of any doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, a Frontier Tariff, or otherwise, Frontier shall not be required to
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 110
provide, and EDNETICS shall not request or obtain, Dark Fiber Transport that
does not connect a pair of Frontier UNE Wire Centers. Access to unbundled
Dark Fiber Transport will be provided by Frontier only where existing facilities are
available except as provided in Section 17 below. Access to Dark Fiber
Transport will be provided in accordance with, but only to the extent required by,
the Federal Unbundling Rules. Dark Fiber Transport consists of Frontier optical
transmission facilities without attached multiplexers, aggregation or other
electronics. To the extent Frontier's Dark Fiber Transport contains any lightwave
repeaters (e.g., regenerators or optical amplifiers) installed thereon, Frontier shall
not remove the same. Except as otherwise required by the Federal Unbundling
Rules, the following terms and conditions apply to Frontier's Dark Fiber Transport
offerings.
8.2 In addition to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the following
terms and conditions shall apply to Dark Fiber Transport:
8.2.1 [Intentionally Left Blank].
8.2.2 EDNETICS may access Dark Fiber Transport only at a pre-existing
Frontier accessible terminal of such Dark Fiber Transport, and
EDNETICS may not access Dark Fiber Transport at any other point,
including, but not limited to, a splice point or case. Dark Fiber
Transport is not available to EDNETICS unless such Dark Transport is
already terminated on an existing Frontier accessible terminal.
Unused fibers located in a cable vault or a controlled environment
vault, manhole or other location outside the Frontier LINE Wire Center,
and not terminated to a fiber patch panel, are not available to
EDNETICS.
8.2.3 Except if and, to the extent required by, the Federal Unbundling Rules
and Section 17 below, Frontier will not perform splicing (e.g., introduce
additional splice points or open existing splice points or cases) to
accommodate EDNETICS's request.
8.2.4 Frontier shall perform all work necessary to install a cross connect or a
fiber jumper from a Frontier accessible terminal to a EDNETICS
collocation arrangement.
8.2.5 A Dark Fiber Inquiry Form" must be submitted prior to submitting an
ASR. Upon receipt of EDNETICS's completed Dark Fiber Inquiry
Form, Frontier will initiate a review of its cable records to determine
whether Dark Fiber Transport may be available between the locations
and in the quantities specified. Frontier will respond within fifteen (15)
Business Days from receipt of the EDNETICS's Dark Fiber Inquiry
Form, indicating whether Dark Fiber Transport may be available (if so
available, an "Acknowledgement") based on the records search except
that for voluminous requests or large, complex projects, Frontier
reserves the right to negotiate a different interval. The Dark Fiber
Inquiry is a record search and does not guarantee the availability of
Dark Fiber Transport. Where a direct Dark Fiber Transport route is not
available, Frontier will provide, where available, Dark Fiber Transport
via a reasonable indirect route that passes through intermediate
Frontier Central Offices at the rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment.
In cases where Frontier provides Dark Fiber Transport via an indirect
route as described in this section, EDNETICS shall not be permitted to
access the Dark Fiber Transport at any intermediate central office
between the two Frontier central offices that are the end points of the
EDNETICS ID Camp v3.3a _07142010 111
route. In no event shall Frontier be required to provide Dark Fiber
Transport between two central offices that are the end points of a
route on which Frontier is not required under the Federal Unbundling
Rules to provide Dark Fiber Transport to EDNETICS. Frontier
reserves the right to limit the number of intermediate Frontier Central
Offices on an indirect route consistent with limitations in Frontier's
network design and/or prevailing industry practices for optical
transmission applications. Any limitations on the number of
intermediate Frontier Central Offices will be discussed with
EDNETICS. If access to Dark Fiber Transport is not available,
Frontier will notify EDNETICS, within fifteen (15) Business Days, that
no spare Dark Fiber Transport is available over the direct route nor
any reasonable alternate indirect route, except that for voluminous
requests or large, complex projects, Frontier reserves the right to
negotiate a different interval. Where no available route was found
during the record review, Frontier will identify the first blocked segment
on each alternate indirect route and which segment(s) in the alternate
indirect route are available prior to encountering a blockage on that
route, at the rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment.
8.2.5.1 EDNETICS shall indicate on the Dark Fiber Inquiry Form
whether the available Dark Fiber should be reserved, at the
rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment, pending receipt of
an order for the Dark Fiber.
8.2.5.2 Upon request from EDNETICS as indicated on the Dark
Fiber Inquiry Form, Frontier shall hold such requested Dark
Fiber Transport for EDNETICS's use for ten (10) Business
Days from EDNETICS's receipt of Acknowledgement and
may not allow any other party (including Frontier) to use
such fiber during that time period.
8.2.5.3 EDNETICS shall submit an order for the reserved Dark
Fiber Transport as soon as possible using the standard
ordering process or parallel provisioning process as
described in Section 8.2.5.5. The standard ordering
process shall be used when EDNETICS does not have
additional requirements for collocation. The parallel
provisioning process shall be used when EDNETICS
requires new collocation facilities or changes to existing
collocation arrangements.
8.2.5.4 If no order is received from EDNETICS for the reserved
Dark Fiber Transport within ten (10) Business Days from
EDNETICS's receipt of Acknowledgement, Frontier shall
return to spare the reserved Dark Fiber Transport that
Frontier previously notified EDN ETICS are available.
Should EDNETICS submit an order to Frontier after the ten
(10) Business Day reservation period for access to Dark
Fiber Transport that Frontier has previously notified
EDNETICS was available, EDNETICS assumes all risk that
such Dark Fiber Transport will no longer be available.
8.2.5.5 Upon EDNETICS's request, the Parties will conduct parallel
provisioning of collocation and Dark Fiber Transport in
accordance with the following terms and conditions:
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 112
8.2.5.5.1 EDNETICS will use existing interfaces and
Frontier's current applications and order forms to
request collocation and Dark Fiber Transport.
8.2.5.5.2 Frontier will parallel process EDNETICS's
requests for collocation, including augments,
and Dark Fiber Transport
8.2.5.5.3 Before EDNETICS submits a request for parallel
provisioning of collocation and Dark Fiber
Transport, EDNETICS will:

8.2.5.5.3.1 submit a Dark Fiber Inquiry Form
and receive an Acknowledgement
from Frontier; and

8.2.5.5.3.2 submit a collocation application
for the Frontier Central Office(s)
where the Dark Fiber Transport
terminates and receive
confirmation from Frontier that
EDNETICS's collocation
application has been accepted.
8.2.5.5.4 EDNETICS will prepare requests for parallel
provisioning of collocation and Dark Fiber
Transport in the manner and form reasonably
specified by Frontier.
8.2.5.5.5 If Frontier rejects EDNETICS's Dark Fiber
Transport request, EDNETICS may cancel its
collocation application within five (5) Business
Days of such rejection and receive a refund of
the collocation application fee paid by
EDNETICS, less the costs Frontier incurred to
date.
8.2.5.5.6 If Frontier accepts EDNETICS's Dark Fiber
Transport request, Frontier will parallel provision
the Dark Transport to a temporary location in
Frontier's Central Office(s). Frontier will charge
and EDNETICS will pay for parallel provisioning
of such Dark Fiber Transport at the rates
specified in the Pricing Attachment beginning on
the date that Frontier accepts each Dark Fiber
Transport request.
8.2.5.5.7 Within ten (10) days after Frontier completes a
EDNETICS collocation application, EDNETICS
shall submit a Dark Fiber change request to
reposition Dark Fiber Transport from the
temporary location in that Frontier Central
Office(s) to the permanent location at
EDNETICS's collocation arrangement in such
Frontier Central Office(s). EDNETICS will
prepare such request(s) in the manner and form
specified by Frontier.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 113
8.2.5.5.8 If EDNETICS cancels its collocation application,
EDNETICS must also submit a cancellation for
the unbundled Dark Fiber Transport provisioned
to the temporary location in the Frontier Central
Office(s).

8.2.6 EDNETICS shall order Dark Fiber Transport by sending to Frontier a
separate ASR for each A to Z route.

8.2.7 Where a collocation arrangement can be accomplished in a Frontier
premises, access to Dark Fiber Transport that terminates in a Frontier
premises must be accomplished via a collocation arrangement in that
Frontier premises. In circumstances where a collocation arrangement
cannot be accomplished in a Frontier premises, the Parties agree to
negotiate for possible alternative arrangements.

8.2.8 Except as provided in Section 17 below, Dark Fiber Transport will be
offered to EDNETICS in the condition that it is available in Frontiers
network at the time that EDNETICS submits its request (i.e., "as is").
In addition, Frontier shall not be required to convert lit fiber to Dark
Fiber Transport for EDNETICS's use.

8.2.9 Spare wavelengths on fiber strands, where Wave Division Multiplexing
(WDM) or Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment is
deployed, are not considered to be Dark Fiber Transport, and,
therefore, will not be offered to EDNETICS as Dark Fiber Transport.

8.2.10 Fiber that has been assigned to fulfill a Customer order for
maintenance purposes or for Frontier's lit fiber optic systems will not
be offered to EDNETICS as Dark Fiber Transport.

8.2.11 EDNETICS shall be responsible for providing all transmission,
terminating and lightwave repeater equipment necessary to light and
use Dark Fiber Transport.

8.2.12 EDNETICS may not resell Dark Fiber Transport, purchased pursuant
to this Agreement to third parties.

8.2.13 Except to the extent that Frontier is required by the Federal
Unbundling Rules to provide Dark Fiber Transport to EDNETICS for
use for Special or Switched Exchange Access Services, EDNETICS
shall not use Dark Fiber Transport, for Special or Switched Exchange
Access Services.

8.2.14 In order to preserve the efficiency of its network, Frontier may, upon a
showing of need to the Commission, limit EDNETICS to leasing up to
a maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Dark Fiber Transport in
any given segment of Frontier's network Inaddition, except as
otherwise required by the Federal Unbundling Rules, Frontier may
take any of the following actions, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement
8.2.14.1 Revoke Dark Fiber Transport leased to EDNETICS upon a
showing of need to the Commission and twelve (12)
months' advance written notice to EDNETICS; and
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 114
8.2.14.2 Frontier reserves and shall not waive, Frontier's right to
claim before the Commission that Frontier should not have
to fulfill a EDNETICS order for Dark Transport because that
request would strand an unreasonable amount of fiber
capacity, disrupt or degrade service to Customers or
carriers other than EDNETICS, or impair Frontier's ability to
meet a legal obligation.

8.2.15 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, EDNETICS may not
reserve Dark Fiber Transport.

8.2.16 EDNETICS shall be solely responsible for: (a) determining whether or
not the transmission characteristics of the Dark Fiber Transport
accommodate the requirements of EDNETICS; (b) obtaining any
Rights of Way, governmental or private property permit, easement or
other authorization or approval required for access to the Dark Fiber
Transport; (c) installation of fiber optic transmission equipment needed
to power the Dark Fiber Transport to transmit permitted traffic; and (d)
except as set forth with respect to the parallel provisioning process
addressed above, EDNETICS's collocation arrangements with any
proper optical cross connects or other equipment that EDNETICS
needs to access Dark Fiber Transport before it submits an order for
such access. EDNETICS hereby represents and warrants that it shall
have all such rights of way, authorizations and the like applicable to
the location at which it wishes to establish a demarcation point for
Dark Fiber Transport, on or before the date that EDNETICS places an
order for the applicable Dark Fiber Transport, and that it shall maintain
the same going forward.

8.2.17 EDNETICS is responsible for trouble isolation before reporting trouble
to FrOntier. Frontier will restore continuity to Dark Fiber Transport that
has been broken. Frontier will not repair Dark Fiber Transport that is
capable of transmitting light, even if the transmission characteristics of
the Dark Fiber Transport has changed.

8.2.18 [Intentionally Left Blank].

8.2.19 EDNETICS may request the following, which shall be provided on a
time and materials basis (as set forth in the Pricing Attachment):
8.2.19.1 [Intentionally Left Blank].
8.2.19.2 A field survey that shows the availability of Dark Fiber
Transport between two or more Frontier Central Offices,
shows whether or not such Dark Fiber Transport is
defective, shows whether or not such Dark Fiber Transport
has been used by Frontier for emergency restoration
activity, and tests the transmission characteristics of
Frontier's Dark Fiber Transport. If a field survey shows that
Dark Fiber Transport is available, EDNETICS may reserve
the Dark Fiber Transport, as applicable, for ten (10)
Business Days from receipt of Frontier's field survey results.
If EDNETICS submits an order for access to such Dark
Fiber Transport after passage of the foregoing ten (10)
Business Day reservation period, Frontier does not
guarantee or warrant the Dark Fiber Transport will be
available when Frontier receives such order, and
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 115
EDNETICS assumes all risk that the Dark Fiber Transport
will not be available. Frontier shall perform a field survey
subject to a negotiated interval. If a EDNETICS submits an
order for Dark Fiber Transport without first obtaining the
results of a field survey of such Dark Fiber Transport,
EDNETICS assumes all risk that the Dark Fiber Transport
will not be compatible with EDNETICS's equipment,
including, but not limited to, order cancellation charges.

8.3 Transitional Provision of Embedded Dark Fiber Loops.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Frontier is not required to
provide, and EDNETICS may not obtain, unbundled access to any Dark Fiber
Loop; provided, however, that if EDNETICS leased a Dark Fiber Loop from
Frontier as of March 11, 2005, EDNETICS may continue to lease that Dark Fiber
Loop at transitional rates provided for in the TRRO until September 10, 2006,
and not beyond that date. The Parties acknowledge that Frontier, prior to the
Effective Date, has provided EDNETICS with any required notices of
discontinuance of Dark Fiber Loops, and that no further notice is required for
Frontier to exercise its rights with respect to discontinuance of Dark Fiber Loops.
Network Interface Device

9.1 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment and upon
request by EDNETICS, Frontier shall permit EDNETICS to connect a EDNETICS
Loop to the Inside Wiring of a Customer's premises through the use of a Frontier
NID in accordance with this Section 9 and the rates and charges provided in the
Pricing Attachment. Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with access to NIDs in
accordance with, but only to the extent required by, the Federal Unbundling
Rules. EDNETICS may access a Frontier NID either by means of a connection
(but only if the use of such connection is technically feasible) from an adjoining
EDNETICS NID deployed by EDNETICS or, if an entrance module is available in
the Frontier NID, by connecting a EDNETICS Loop to the Frontier NID. When
necessary, Frontier will rearrange its facilities to provide access to an existing
Customer's Inside Wire. An entrance module is available only if facilities are not
connected to it.

9.2 In no case shall EDNETICS access, remove, disconnect or in any other way
rearrange Frontier's Loop facilities from Frontier's NIDs, enclosures, or
protectors.

9.3 In no case shall EDNETICS access, remove, disconnect or in any other way
rearrange, a Customer's Inside Wiring from Frontier's NIDs, enclosures, or
protectors where such Customer Inside Wiring is used in the provision of ongoing
Telecommunications Service to that Customer.

9.4 In no case shall EDNETICS remove or disconnect ground wires from Frontier's
NIDs, enclosures, or protectors.

9.5 In no case shall EDNETICS remove or disconnect NID modules, protectors, or
terminals from Frontier's NID enclosures.

9.6 Maintenance and control of premises Inside Wiring is the responsibility of the
Customer. Any conflicts between service providers for access to the Customer's
Inside Wiring must be resolved by the person who controls use of the wiring
(e.g., the Customer).
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 116
9.7 When EDNETICS is connecting a EDNETICS-provided Loop to the Inside Wiring
of a Customer's premises through the Customer's side of the Frontier MD,
EDNETICS does not need to submit a request to Frontier and Frontier shall not
charge EDNETICS for access to the Frontier NID. In such instances, EDNETICS
shall comply with the provisions of Sections 9.2 through 9.7 of this Attachment
and shall access the Customer's Inside Wire in the manner set forth in Section
9.8 of this Attachment.
9.8 Due to the wide variety of NIDs utilized by Frontier (based on Customer size and
environmental considerations), EDNETICS may access the Customer's Inside
Wiring, acting as the agent of the Customer by any of the following means:
9.8.1 Where an adequate length of Inside Wiring is present and
environmental conditions permit, EDNETICS may remove the Inside
Wiring from the Customer's side of the Frontier NID and connect that
Inside Wiring to EDNETICS's NID.
9.8.2 Where an adequate length of Inside Wiring is not present or
environmental conditions do not permit, EDNETICS may enter the
Customer side of the Frontier NID enclosure for the purpose of
removing the Inside Wiring from the terminals of Frontier's NID and
connecting a connectorized or spliced jumper wire from a suitable
"punch out" hole of such NID enclosure to the Inside Wiring within the
space of the Customer side of the Frontier NID. Such connection shall
be electrically insulated and shall not make any contact with the
connection points or terminals within the Customer side of the Frontier
NID.
9.8.3 EDNETICS may request Frontier to make other rearrangements to the
Inside Wiring terminations or terminal enclosure on a time and
materials cost basis to be charged to the requesting party (i.e.
EDNETICS, its agent, the building owner or the Customer). If
EDNETICS accesses the Customer's Inside Wiring as described in
this Section 9.8.3, time and materials charges will be billed to the
requesting party (i.e. EDNETICS, its agent, the building owner or the
Customer).

11.Dedicated Transport
11.1 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment, where facilities
are available, at EDNETICS's request, Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with
Dedicated Transport unbundled from other Network Elements at the rates set
forth in the Pricing Attachment. Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with such
Dedicated Transport in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, the
Federal Unbundling Rules. Except as provided in Section 17 below, Frontier will
not install new electronics, and Frontier will not build new facilities. For the
avoidance of any doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Frontier shall not be required to provide, and EDNETICS shall not request or
obtain, unbundled access to shared (or common) transport, or any other
interoffice transport facility that does not meet the definition of Dedicated
Transport.
11.2 If and, to the extent that, EDNETICS has purchased (or purchases) transport
from Frontier under a Frontier Tariff or otherwise, and EDNETICS has a right
under the Federal Unbundling Rules to convert (and wishes to convert) such
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 117
transport to unbundled Dedicated Transport under this Agreement, it shall give
Frontier written notice of such request (including, without limitation, through
submission of ASRs if Frontier so requests) and provide to Frontier all
information (including, without limitation, a listing of the specific circuits in
question) that Frontier reasonably requires to effectuate such conversion. In the
case of any such conversion, EDNETICS shall pay any and all conversion
charges (e.g., non-recurring charges), as well as any and all termination
liabilities, minimum service period charges and like charges in accordance with
Frontier's applicable Tariffs. If the transport to be converted comprises a portion
of a High Capacity EEL (as defined in Section 16.2.1 below), the applicable
provisions of Section 16 below shall apply.

13.Operations Support Systems
Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this Attachment and in Section 8 of the
Additional Services Attachment, Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with access via
electronic interfaces to databases required for pre-ordering, ordering, provisioning,
maintenance and repair, and billing. Frontier shall provide EDNETICS with such access
in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, the Federal Unbundling Rules. All
such transactions shall be submitted by EDNETICS through such electronic interfaces.
14.Availability of Other Network Elements on an Unbundled Basis
14.1 Any request by EDNETICS for access to a Frontier Network Element that is not
already available and that Frontier is required by the Federal Unbundling Rules
to provide on an unbundled basis shall be treated as a Network Element Bona
Fide Request pursuant to Section 14.3, of this Attachment. EDNETICS shall
provide Frontier access to its Network Elements as mutually agreed by the
Parties or as required by the Federal Unbundling Rules.
14.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14, a Party shall not be
required to provide a proprietary Network Element to the other Party under this
Section 14 except as required by the Federal Unbundling Rules.
14.3 Network Element Bona Fide Request (BFR).
14.3.1 Each Party shall promptly consider and analyze access to a new
unbundled Network Element in response to the submission of a
Network Element Bona Fide Request by the other Party hereunder.
The Network Element Bona Fide Request process set forth herein
does not apply to those services requested pursuant to Report &
Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 91-141 (rel. Oct. 19, 1992)
259 and n.603 or subsequent orders. -
14.3.2 A Network Element Bona Fide Request shall be submitted in writing
and shall include a technical description of each requested Network
Element.
14.3.3 The requesting Party may cancel a Network Element Bona Fide
Request at any time, but shall pay the other Party's reasonable and
demonstrable costs of processing and/or implementing the Network
Element Bona Fide Request up to the date of cancellation.
14.3.4 Within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt, the receiving Party shall
acknowledge receipt of the Network Element Bona Fide Request.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 118

14.3.5 Except under extraordinary circumstances, within thirty (30) days of its
receipt of a Network Element Bona Fide Request, the receiving Party
shall provide to the requesting Party a preliminary analysis of such
Network Element Bona Fide Request. The preliminary analysis shall
confirm that the receiving Party will offer access to the Network
Element or will provide a detailed explanation that access to the
Network Element is not technically feasible and/or that the request
does not qualify as a Network Element that is required to be provided
by the Federal Unbundling Rules.

14.3.6 If the receiving Party determines that the Network Element Bona Fide
Request is technically feasible and access to the Network Element is
required to be provided by the Federal Unbundling Rules, it shall
promptly proceed with developing the Network Element Bona Fide
Request upon receipt of written authorization from the requesting
Party. When it receives such authorization, the receiving Party shall
promptly develop the requested services, determine their availability,
calculate the applicable prices and establish installation intervals.
Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the Network Element requested
must be priced in accordance with Section 252(d)(1) of the Act.

14.3.7 As soon as feasible, but not more than ninety (90) days after its receipt
of authorization to proceed with developing the Network Element Bona
Fide Request, the receiving Party shall provide to the requesting Party
a Network Element Bona Fide Request quote which will include, at a
minimum, a description of each Network Element, the availability, the
applicable rates, and the installation intervals.

14.3.8 Within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Network Element Bona Fide
Request quote, the requesting Party must either confirm its order for
the Network Element Bona Fide Request pursuant to the Network
Element Bona Fide Request quote or seek arbitration by the
Commission pursuant to Section 252 of the Act.

14.3.9 If a Party to a Network Element Bona Fide Request believes that the
other Party is not requesting, negotiating or processing the Network
Element Bona Fide Request in good faith, or disputes a determination,
or price or cost quote, or is failing to act in accordance with Section
251 of the Act, such Party may seek mediation or arbitration by the
Commission pursuant to Section 252 of the Act.
15. Maintenance of Network Elements
If (a) EDNETICS reports to Frontier a Customer trouble, (b) EDNETICS requests a
dispatch, (c) Frontier dispatches a technician, and (d) such trouble was not caused by
Frontier's facilities or equipment in whole or in part, then EDNETICS shall pay Frontier a
charge set forth in the Pricing Attachment for time associated with said dispatch. In
addition, this charge also applies when the Customer contact as designated by
EDNETICS is not available at the appointed time. EDNETICS accepts responsibility for
initial trouble isolation and providing Frontier with appropriate dispatch information based
on its test results. If, as the result of EDNETICS instructions, Frontier is erroneously
requested to dispatch to a site on Frontier company premises ("dispatch in"), a charge set
forth in the Pricing Attachment will be assessed per occurrence to EDNETICS by
Frontier. If as the result of EDNETICS instructions, Frontier is erroneously requested to
dispatch to a site outside of Frontier company premises ("dispatch out"), a charge set
forth in the Pricing Attachment will be assessed per occurrence to EDNETICS by
Frontier. Frontier agrees to respond to EDNETICS trouble reports on a non-
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 119
discriminatory basis consistent with the manner in which it provides service to its own
retail Customers or to any other similarly situated Telecommunications Carrier.
16. Combinations, Commingling, and Conversions
16.1 Subject to and without limiting the conditions set forth in Section 1 of this
Attachment:
16.1.1 Frontier will not prohibit the commingling of a Qualifying UNE with
Qualifying Wholesale Services, but only to the extent and so long as
commingling and provision of such Network Element (or combination
of Network Elements) is required by the Federal Unbundling Rules.
Moreover, to the extent and so long as required by the Federal
Unbundling Rules, Frontier shall, upon request of EDNETICS, perform
the functions necessary to commingle Qualifying UNEs with Qualifying
Wholesale Services. The rates, terms and conditions of the applicable
access Tariff or separate non-251 agreement will apply to the
Qualifying Wholesale Services, and the rates, terms and conditions of
the Agreement or the Frontier UNE Tariff, as applicable, will apply to
the Qualifying UNEs; provided, however, that a nonrecurring charge
will apply for each UNE circuit that is part of a commingled
arrangement, as set forth in the Pricing Attachment. In addition, if any
commingling requested by EDNETICS requires Frontier to perform
physical work that Frontier is required to perform under the Federal
Unbundling Rules, then Frontiers standard charges for such work
shall apply or, in the absence of a standard charge, a fee calculated
using Frontiers standard time and materials rates shall apply until
such time as a standard charge is established pursuant to the terms
set forth in the Pricing Attachment.
16.1.2 Ratcheting, i.e., a pricing mechanism that involves billing a single
circuit at multiple rates to develop a single, blended rate, shall not be
required. UNEs that are commingled with Wholesale Services are not
included in the shared use provisions of the applicable Tariff, and are
therefore not eligible for adjustment of charges under such provisions.
Frontier may exclude its performance in connection with the
provisioning of commingled facilities and services from standard
provisioning intervals and from performance measures and remedies,
if any, contained in the Agreement or elsewhere.
16.1.3 Limitation on Section 16.1. Section 16.1 is intended only to address
the Parties rights and obligations as to combining and/or commingling
of UNEs that Frontier is already required to provide to EDNETICS
under the Agreement and the Federal Unbundling Rules. Nothing
contained in Section 16.1 shall be deemed to limit any right of Frontier
under the Agreement to cease providing a facility that is or becomes a
Discontinued Facility.
16.2 Service Eligibility Criteria for Certain Combinations and Commingled Facilities
and Services. Subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 16.1 of this
Attachment:
16.2.1 Frontier shall not be obligated to provide:
16.2.1.1 an unbundled DS1 Loop in combination with unbundled
DS1 or DS3 Dedicated Transport, or commingled with DS1
or DS3 access services;
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 120
16.2.1.2 an unbundled DS3 Loop in combination with unbundled
DS3 Dedicated Transport, or commingled with DS3 access
services;
16.2.1.3 unbundled DS1 Dedicated Transport commingled with DS1
channel termination access service;
16.2.1.4 unbundled DS3 Dedicated Transport commingled with DS1
channel termination access service; or
16.2.1.5 unbundled DS3 Dedicated Transport commingled with DS3
channel termination service,
(individually and collectively "High Capacity EELs") except to the extent
Frontier is required by the Federal Unbundling Rules to do so, and then
not unless and until EDNETICS, using an ASR, certifies to Frontier that
each combined or commingled DS1 circuit or DS1 equivalent circuit of a
High Capacity EEL satisfies each of the service eligibility criteria on a
circuit-by-circuit basis as set forth in 47 C.F.R. § 51.318. EDNETICS
must remain in compliance with said service eligibility criteria for so long
as EDNETICS continues to receive the aforementioned combined or
commingled facilities and/or services from Frontier and EDNETICS shall
immediately notify Frontier at such time as a certification ceases to be
accurate. The service eligibility criteria shall be applied to each
combined or commingled DS1 circuit or DS1 equivalent circuit of a High
Capacity EEL. If any combined or commingled DS1 circuit or DS1
equivalent circuit of a High Capacity EEL is, becomes, or is subsequently
determined to be, noncompliant, the noncompliant High Capacity EEL
circuit will be treated as described in Section 16.2.2 below. The
foregoing shall apply whether the High Capacity EEL circuits in question
are being provisioned to establish a new circuit or to convert an existing
wholesale service, or any part thereof, to unbundled network elements.
For existing High Capacity EEL circuits, EDNETICS, within thirty (30)
days of the Effective Date to the extent it has not already done so prior to
the Effective Date of this Agreement, must re-certify, using an ASR, that
each DS1 circuit or DS1 equivalent circuit satisfies the service eligibility
criteria on a circuit-by-circuit basis as set forth in 47 C.F.R. § 51.318.
Any existing High Capacity EEL circuits that EDNETICS leased from
Frontier as of the Effective Date of this Agreement that EDNETICS fails
to re-certify as required by this Section by the end of such 30-day period
shall be treated as a non-compliant circuit as described under Section
16.2.2 below effective as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
16.2.2 Without limiting any other right Frontier may have to cease providing
circuits that are or become Discontinued Facilities, if a High Capacity
EEL circuit is or becomes noncompliant as described in this Section
16.2 and EDNETICS has not submitted an LSR or ASR, as
appropriate, to Frontier requesting disconnection of the noncompliant
facility and has not separately secured from Frontier an alternative
arrangement to replace the noncompliant High Capacity EEL circuit,
then Frontier, to the extent it has not already done so prior to
execution of this Agreement, shall reprice the subject High Capacity
EEL circuit (or portion thereof that had been previously billed at UNE
rates), effective beginning on the date on which the circuit became
non-compliant by application of a new rate (or, in Frontiers sole
discretion, by application of a surcharge to an existing rate) to be
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071420I0 121
equivalent to an analogous access service or other analogous
arrangement that Frontier shall identify in a written notice to
EDNETICS.
16.2.3 Each certification to be provided by EDNETICS pursuant to Section
16.2.1 above must contain the following information for each DS1
circuit or DS1 equivalent: (a) the local number assigned to each DS1
circuit or DS1 equivalent; (b) the local numbers assigned to each DS3
circuit (must have 28 local numbers assigned to it); (c) the date each
circuit was established in the 91 1/E-911 database; (d) the collocation
termination connecting facility assignment for each circuit, showing
that the collocation arrangement was established pursuant to 47
U.S.C. § 251 (c)(6), and not under a federal collocation tariff; (e) the
interconnection trunk circuit identification number that serves each
DS1 circuit. There must be one such identification number per every
24 DS1 circuits; and (f) the local switch that serves each DS1 circuit.
When submitting an ASR for a circuit, this information must be
contained in the Remarks section of the ASR, unless provisions are
made to populate other fields on the ASR to capture this information.
16.2.4 The charges for conversions are as specified in the Pricing Attachment
and apply for each circuit converted.
16.2.5 All ASR-driven conversion requests will result in a change in circuit
identification (circuit ID) from access to UNE or UNE to access. If
such change in circuit ID requires that the affected circuit(s) be
retagged, then a retag fee per circuit will apply as specified in the
Pricing Attachment.
16.2.6 All requests for conversions will be handled in accordance with
Frontier's conversion guidelines. Each request will be handled as a
project and will be excluded from all ordering and provisioning metrics.
16.3 Once per calendar year, Frontier may obtain and pay for an independent auditor
to audit EDNETICS's compliance in all material respects with the service
eligibility criteria applicable to High Capacity EELs. Any such audit shall be
performed in accordance with the standards established by the American
Institute for Certified Public Accountants, and may include, at Frontier's
discretion, the examination of a sample selected in accordance with the
independent auditor's judgment. To the extent the independent auditor's report
concludes that EDNETICS failed to comply with the service eligibility criteria,
then (without limiting Frontier's rights under Section 16.2.2 above) EDNETICS
must convert all noncompliant circuits to the appropriate service, true up any
difference in payments, make the correct payments on a going-forward basis,
and reimburse Frontier for the cost of the independent auditor within thirty (30)
days after receiving a statement of such costs from Frontier. Should the
independent auditor confirm EDNETICS's compliance with the service eligibility
criteria, then EDNETICS shall provide to the independent auditor for its
verification a statement of EDNETICS's out-of-pocket costs of complying with
any requests of the independent auditor, and Frontier shall, within thirty (30) days
of the date on which EDNETICS submits such costs to the auditor, reimburse
EDNETICS for its out-of-pocket costs verified by the auditor. EDNETICS shall
maintain records adequate to support its compliance with the service eligibility
criteria for each DS1 or DS1 equivalent circuit for at least eighteen (18) months
after the service arrangement in question is terminated.
17. Routine Network Modifications
EDNETICS ID Compv3.3a_07142010 122
17.1 General Conditions. In accordance with, but only to the extent required by, the
Federal Unbundling Rules, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 of

COLLOCATION ATTACHMENT
1. Frontier's Provision of Collocation
Frontier shall provide to EDNETICS, in accordance with this Agreement, Frontier's
applicable federal and state Tariffs and the requirements of Applicable Law, Collocation
for the purpose of facilitating EDNETICS's interconnection with Frontier under 47 U.S.C.
§ 251 (c)(2) or access to Unbundled Network Elements of Frontier; provided, that
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or a Tariff, Frontier shall be
obligated to provide Collocation to EDNETICS only to the extent required by Applicable
Law and may decline to provide Collocation to EDNETICS to the extent that provision of
Collocation is not required by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or a Tariff, nothing in this Agreement or a Tariff shall be deemed to require
Frontier to provide (and, for the avoidance of any doubt, Frontier may decline to provide
and/or cease providing) Collocation that, if provided by Frontier, would be used by
EDNETICS to obtain unbundled access to any network element: (a) that Frontier is not
required to unbundle under 47 U.S.C. § 251 (c)(3) or (b) that Frontier is not required to
unbundle under 47 C.F.R. Part 51.
Because the Commission rejected Frontier's Collocation Tariff Advice No. 00-05 in Order
No. 28490 on August 29, 2000, Frontier shall provide Collocation according to the
following terms and conditions in the State of Idaho on an interim basis only until such
time as the Commission's decision is reversed and Frontier's Collocation Tariff Advice
No. 00-05 is permitted to go into effect or until such time as Frontier files another
Collocation Tariff in Idaho. At such time as the Commission's decision is reversed and
Frontier's Collocation Tariff Advice No. 00-05 is permitted to go into effect or at such time
as there is a Frontier Collocation Tariff on file with the Commission, and subject to the
foregoing, the following terms and conditions will be rendered ineffectual, and Frontier
shall provide Collocation to EDNETICS in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in Frontier's Collocation Tariff, and Frontier shall do so regardless of whether or not
such terms and conditions are effective.
Section 1 of this Collocation Attachment ("Attachment"), in conjunction with the rest of
this Agreement, set forth the terms and conditions under which Frontier shall provide
Collocation services to EDNETICS. Collocation provides for access to Frontier's
"premises", for the purpose of interconnection and/or access to Unbundled Network
Elements (UNEs). For the purposes of this Attachment, "premises" is defined to include
Frontier's central offices, serving Wire Centers, and all other buildings or similar
structures owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by Frontier that house Frontier's
network facilities. Collocation at Frontier's Wire Centers and access tandems shall be
accomplished through caged, cageless, virtual or microwave service offerings, as
described below, except if not practical for technical reasons or due to space limitations.
In such event, Frontier shall provide adjacent Collocation or other methods of Collocation,
subject to space availability and technical feasibility. In accordance with, but only to the
extent required by Applicable Law, Frontier shall also offer rates, terms and conditions for
Collocation services that are not expressly addressed in this Attachment or Frontier
Tariffs on an individual case basis.
1.1 Types of Collocation.
1.1.1 Single Caged. A single caged arrangement is a form of caged
Collocation, which allows a single CLEC to lease caged floor space to
house its equipment within Frontier premises.
EDNETICS ID Camp v3.3a _07142010 125

1.1.2 Shared Caged. A shared caged arrangement is a newly constructed
caged Collocation arrangement that is jointly applied for and occupied
by two or more CLECs within a Frontier premise. When two or more
CLECs request establishment and jointly apply for a new caged
Collocation arrangement to be used as a shared caged arrangement,
one of the participating CLECs must agree to be the host CLEC (HC)
and the other(s) to be the guest CLEC (GC). The HG and GC(s) are
solely responsible for determining whether to share a shared caged
Collocation arrangement and if so, upon what terms and conditions.
The HG and GC(s) must each be interconnected to Frontier for the
exchange of traffic with Frontier and/or to access unbundled network
elements. Frontier will not issue separate billing for any of the rate
elements associated with the shared caged Collocation arrangement
between the HC and the GC(s), but Frontier will provide the HO with
information on the proportionate share of the NRCs for each CLEC in
the shared arrangement. The HG will be responsible for ordering and
payment of all Collocation applicable services ordered by the HO and
GC(s). The HG and GC will be responsible for ordering their own
unbundled network elements from Frontier. Frontier will separately bill
the HG and/or GC(s) for unbundled network elements ordered. The
HG and GC(s) are Frontier's customers and have all the rights and
obligations applicable hereunder to CLECs purchasing Collocation-
related services, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all
applicable charges, whether or not the HG is reimbursed for all or any
portion of such charges by the guest(s). All terms and conditions for
caged Collocation as described in this Attachment will apply to shared
caged Collocation requirements.

1.1.3 Subleased Caged. Vacant space available in a CLEC's caged
Collocation arrangement may be made available to a third party(s) for
the purpose of interconnection and/or for access to UNEs in Frontier
premises via the subleasing Collocation arrangement. The CLEC
subleases the floor space to the third party(s) pursuant to terms and
conditions agreed to by the CLEC and the third party(s) involved. The
CLEC and third party(s) must each be interconnected to Frontier for
the exchange of traffic with Frontier and/or to access unbundled
network elements. The CLEC is solely responsible for determining
whether to sublease a shared caged Collocation arrangement and if
so, upon what terms and conditions. Frontier will not issue separate
billing for any of the rate elements associated with the subleased
caged Collocation arrangement between the CLEC and the third
party(s). The CLEC will be responsible for ordering and payment of all
Collocation applicable services ordered by the CLEC and the third
party(s). Each CLEC and third party will be responsible for ordering
their own unbundled network elements from Frontier. Frontier will
separately bill the CLEC and third party/parties for unbundled network
elements ordered. The CLEC and third party(s) are Frontier's
customers and have all the rights and obligations applicable hereunder
to CLECs purchasing Collocation-related services, including, without
limitation, the obligation to pay all applicable charges, whether or not
the CLEC is reimbursed for all or any portion of such charges by the
third party(s). All terms and conditions for caged Collocation as
described in this Attachment will apply to subleased caged Collocation
requirements.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a.07142010 126
1.1.4 Cageless. Cageless Collocation is a form of Collocation in which
CLECs can place their equipment in Frontier premises. A cageless
Collocation arrangement allows a CLEC, using Frontier approved
vendors, to install equipment in single bay increments in an area
designated by Frontier. The equipment location will be designated by
Frontier and will vary based on individual Frontier premise
configurations. CLEC equipment will not share the same equipment
bays with Frontier equipment.
1.1.5 Adiacent. An adjacent Collocation arrangement permits a CLEC to
construct or procure a structure on Frontier property for Collocation for
the purposes of interconnection and/or access to UNEs in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Adjacent Collocation
is only an option when the following conditions are met: (1) space is
legitimately exhausted in Frontier's premise for caged and cageless
Collocation; and (2) it is technically feasible to construct or procure a
hut or similar structure on Frontier property that adheres to local
building code, zoning requirements, and Frontier building standards.
EDNETICS is responsible for complying with all zoning requirements,
any federal, state or local regulations, ordinances and laws, and
obtaining all associated permits. Frontier may, where required,
participate in the zoning approval and permit acquisitions. EDNETICS
may not take any action in establishing an adjacent structure that will
force Frontier to violate any zoning requirements or any federal, state,
or local regulations, ordinances, or laws.
Any construction by EDNETICS on Frontier property must comply with
Frontier's technical specifications as they relate to environmental safety
and grounding requirements. Frontier will make available power and
physical Collocation services to EDNETICS in the same non-
discriminatory manner as it provides itself for its own remote equipment
buildings (REB5).
1.1.6 Virtual. Under virtual Collocation, Frontier installs and maintains
EDNETICS provided equipment which is dedicated to the exclusive
use of the EDNETICS in a Collocation arrangement. Additional details
on virtual Collocation are set forth in Section 1.9.
1.1.7 Microwave. Physical Collocation of microwave transmission facilities
will be permitted on a first-come, first-served basis except where such
Collocation is not practical for technical reasons or because of space
limitations. Microwave Collocation provides for the interconnection of
EDNETICS or Frontier provided facilities, equipment and support
structures located in, on or above the exterior walls and roof of
Frontier premises. Additional details on microwave Collocation are set
forth in Section 1.10.
1.2 Ordering.
1.2.1 Application.
1.2.1.1 Point of Contact. EDNETICS must request Collocation
arrangements through Frontier's designated point of
contact. Completed applications for Collocation must be
sent directly to Frontier's Collocation Project Manager at the
following address: Collocation Project Manager, Frontier,
***COLLOCATION ADDRESS/FAX/EMAIL INFORMATION
EDNETICS ID Camp v3.3a _07142010 127
HERE***. Additional information and requirements
regarding Collocation may be obtained from Frontier's
public website www.frontier.com
1.2.1.2 Application Form/Fee. EDNETICS requesting Collocation
at a Frontier premise will be required to complete the
application form and submit the non-refundable engineering
fee set forth in the Pricing Attachment, described in Section
1.5.1, for each Frontier premise at which Collocation is
requested. The application form will require EDNETICS to
provide all engineering, floor space (where applicable),
power, environmental and other requirements necessary for
the function of the service. EDNETICS will provide Frontier
with specifications for any non-standard or special
requirements at the time of application. Frontier reserves
the right to assess the customer any additional charges on
an individual case basis ("lOB") associated with complying
with the requirements. Any such charges shall be noticed
to EDNETICS.
Frontier will process Collocation requests from CLECs on a
first-come, first-serve basis pursuant to Frontiers receipt of
a completed application form and the non-refundable
engineering fee.

1.2.2 Space Availability. Subject to forecasting requirements, Frontier will
inform EDNETICS whether space is available to accommodate
EDNETICS's request within eight (8) Business Days after receipt of a
completed application. Frontier's response will be one of the following:
1.2.2.1 There is space and Frontier will proceed with the
arrangement.
1.2.2.2 There is no space. Frontier will proceed as described in
Section 1.4.1.
1.2.2.3 There is no readily available space, however, Frontier will
determine whether space can be made available and will
notify EDNETICS within twenty (20) Business Days. At the
end of this period, Frontier will proceed as described in
1.2.2.1 or 1.2.2.2 above.

1.2.3 Collocation Schedule. If space is available, Frontier will provide to
EDNETICS a Collocation schedule describing Frontier's ability to meet
the physical Collocation request within eight (8) Business Days after
receipt of a completed application. EDNETICS shall have nine (9)
Business Days from receipt of a Frontier provided Collocation
schedule to pay 50% of the NRCs associated with the ordered
Collocation services.
If the application is deficient, Frontier will specify in writing, within eight
(8) Business Days, the information that must be provided by
EDNETICS in order to complete the application, If EDNETICS
resubmits a revised application curing any deficiencies in its original
application within ten (10) calendar days after being informed of them,
EDNETICS shall retain its position within the Collocation application
queue.

1.2.4 [Intentionally Left Blank].

1.2.5 Augmentation. Any request for an addition, partial reduction, or a
change to an existing Collocation arrangement that has been
inspected and turned over to EDNETICS shall be considered an
augmentation request. An augmentation request will require the
submission of a complete application form and a non-refundable
engineering or minor augment fee. A minor augment fee may not be
required under the circumstances outlined below. The definition of a
major or minor augment is as follows: -
1.2.5.1 Major augments of Collocation arrangements are those
requests that: (a) require AC or DC power; (b) add
equipment that generates more BTU's of heat, or (c)
increase the floor space over what EDNETICS requested in
its original application. A complete application and
engineering fee will be required when submitting a request
that requires a major augment.
1.2.5.2 Minor augments of Collocation arrangements will require
the submission of a complete application form and the
minor augment fee. Minor augments are those requests
that: (a) do not require additional DC and AC power, (b) do
not add equipment that generates more BTU's of heat, (c)
do not increase floor space, and (d) do not add transmission
cables, over what EDNETICS requested in its original
application. The requirements of a minor augment request
cannot exceed the capacity of the existing/proposed
electrical, power or HVAC system. Requests for additional
DSO, DS1, and DS3 facility terminations to access Frontier's
unbundled network elements are included as minor
augments, providing no additional transmission cables are
required.
Minor augments that require an augment fee are those
requests that require Frontier to perform a service or
function on behalf of EDNETICS including but not limited to:
installation of virtual equipment cards or software upgrades,
removal of virtual equipment, requests to pull cable from
exterior microwave facilities, and requests to terminate DSO,
DS1 and DS3 cables.
Minor augments that do not require a fee are those
augments performed solely by EDNETICS, that do not
require Frontier to provide a service or function on behalf of
EDNETICS, including but not limited to, requests to install
additional equipment in EDNETICS Collocation space.
Prior to the installation of the additional equipment,
EDNETICS agrees to provide Frontier an application form
with an updated equipment listing that includes the new
equipment to be installed in EDNETICS's Collocation
arrangement. Once the equipment list is submitted to
Frontier, EDNETICS may proceed with the augment.
EDNETICS agrees that changes in equipment provided by
EDNETICS under this provision will not exceed the
engineering specifications for power and HVAC as
requested on original application. All augments will be
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 129
subject to Frontier inspection, in accordance with term of
this contract for the purpose of ensuring compliance with
Frontier safety standards.
1.2.6 Expansion. Frontier will not be required to construct additional space
to provide for EDNETICS Collocation when available space has been
exhausted. Where EDNETICS seeks to expand its existing
Collocation space, Frontier shall make contiguous space available to
the extent possible; provided, however, Frontier does not guarantee
contiguous space to EDNETICS to expand its existing Collocation
space. EDNETICS requests for expansion of existing space within a
specific Frontier premise will require the submission of an application
form and the appropriate major augment fee.
1.2.7 Relocation. EDNETICS requests for relocation of the termination
equipment from one location to a different location within the same
Frontier premise will be handled on an ICB basis. EDNETICS will be
responsible for all costs associated with the relocation of its
equipment.
1.3 Installation and Operation.
1.3.1 Joint Plannina and lmDlementation Levels for Physical Collocation.
Frontier and EDNETICS shall work cooperatively in meeting the
standard implementation milestones and deliverables as determined
during the joint planning process. The physical (caged and cageless)
Collocation arrangement implementation interval is seventy-six (76)
Business Days for all standard arrangement requests which were
properly forecast six (6) months prior to the application date, subject to
the conditions set forth for forecasting and capacity. Major
construction obstacles or special EDNETICS requirements may
extend the interval by fifteen (15) Business Days, resulting in a ninety-
one (91)-Business Day interval.
1.3.1.1 The interval for Collocation augments which were properly

(BDFB5).
1.3.1.4.2 The EDNETICS must install sufficient equipment
to support requested terminations/facilities.
1.3.1.4.3 In large central offices with complex cable runs
(i.e., multiple floors), the Frontier may request to
negotiate extensions to the forty-five (45)
Business Day interval.

1.3.1.5 A preliminary schedule will be developed outlining major
milestones. EDNETICS and Frontier control various interim
milestones they must complete in order to meet the overall
intervals. The interval clock will stop, and the final due date
will be adjusted accordingly, for each milestone EDNETICS
misses (day for day). When Frontier becomes aware of the
possibility of vendor delays, Frontier will first contact
EDNETICS to attempt to negotiate a new interval. If
Frontier and EDNETICS cannot agree, the dispute will be
submitted to the Commission for prompt resolution. Frontier
and EDNETICS shall conduct additional joint planning
meetings, as reasonably required, to ensure that all known
issues are discussed and to address any that may impact
the implementation process. Frontier will permit EDNETICS
to schedule one escorted visit to EDNETICS's Collocation
space during construction. The applicable labor rates in the
Pricing Attachment will be applied for the escorted visit. In
the case of extended intervals resulting from within Frontier's
control or resulting from vendor delays, and provided the
necessary security is in place, Frontier will permit EDNETICS
access to the Collocation arrangement to install equipment
while the delayed work is completed, so long as it is safe to do
so and EDNETICS's work does not impair or interfere with
Frontier in completing Frontier's work. Prior to EDNETICS
beginning the installation of its equipment, EDNETICS must
sign a conditional acceptance of the Collocation arrangement.
If EDNETICS elects to accept the space prior to the scheduled
completion, occupancy fees shall commence upon signing a
conditional acceptance of the space by EDNETICS.

1.3.1.6 Intervals for non-standard arrangements, including adjacent
Collocation, shall be mutually agreed upon by EDNETICS
and Frontier.

1.3.1.7 Frontier will inform the Commission as soon as it knows it
will require raw space conversion to fulfill a request based
on an application or forecast. Raw space conversion
timeframes are negotiated on an individual case basis
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 132
based on negotiations with the site preparation vendor(s).
Frontier will use its best efforts to minimize the additional
time required to condition Collocation space, and will inform
EDNETICS of the time estimates as soon as possible.
1.3.2 Forecasting and Use of Data.
1.3.2.1 Frontier will request forecasts from EDNETICS on a semi-
annual basis, with each forecast covering a two-year period.
EDNETICS will be required to update the near-term (6-
month) forecasted application dates. Information requested
will include central office, month applications are expected
to be sent, requested in-service month, preference for
virtual or physical (caged or cageless) Collocation, square
footage required (physical), high-level list of equipment to
be installed (virtual), and anticipated splitter arrangements
where EDNETICS is eligible for line sharing/line splitting.
For augments, EDNETICS may elect to substitute
alternative CLLI codes within a LATA for the forecasted
demand.
If Frontier has a written guarantee of reimbursement, it will
examine forecasts for offices in which it is necessary to
condition space, and discuss these forecasts with EDNETICS
to determine the required space to be conditioned. If Frontier
commits to condition space based on forecasts and if
EDNETICS is assigned space, EDNETICS will give Frontier a
non-refundable deposit equal to the application fee. Frontier
will perform initial reviews of requested central offices
forecasted for the next six months to identify potential problem
sites. Frontier will consider forecasts in staffing decisions.
Frontier will enter into planning discussions with EDNETICS to
validate forecasts, discuss flexibility in potential trouble areas,
and assist in application preparation.
1.3.2.2 Unforecasted demand (including augments) will be given a
lesser priority than forecasted demand. Frontier will make
every attempt to meet standard intervals for unforecasted
requests. However, if unanticipated requests push demand
beyond Frontier's capacity limits, Frontier will negotiate
longer intervals as required (and within reason). In general,
if forecasts are received less than two (2) months prior to
the application date, the interval start day may be
postponed as follows:
1.3.2.2.1 No forecast: Interval Start Date commences two
(2) months after application receipt date.
1.3.2.2.2 Forecast received one (1) month or less prior to
application receipt date: Interval Start Date
commences two (2) months after application
receipt date.
1.3.2.2.3 Forecast received greater than one (1) month
and less than two (2) months prior to application
receipt date: Interval Start Date commences
one (1) month after application receipt date.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 133
1.3.2.2.4 Forecast received two (2) months or more prior
to application receipt date: Interval Start Date
commences on the application receipt date.
Any such interval adjustments will be discussed with
EDNETICS at the time the application is received.

1.3.3 Collocation Capacity.
1.3.3.1 Frontier's estimate of its present capacity (i.e., no more than
an increase of 15% over the average number of
applications received for the preceding three months in a
particular geographic area) is based on current staffing and
current vendor arrangements. If the forecasts indicate
spikes in demand, Frontier will attempt to smooth the
demand via negotiations with the forecasting CLECs. If
Frontier and EDNETICS fail to agree to smooth demand,
Frontier will determine if additional expenditures would be
required to satisfy the spikes in demand and will work with
the Commission Staff to determine whether such additional
expenditure is warranted and to evaluate cost recovery
options.
1.3.3.2 If Frontier augments its workforce based on EDNETICS
forecasts and if EDNETICS refuses to smooth demand as
described in Section 1.3.3.1, EDNETICS will be held
accountable for the accuracy of their forecasts.

1.3.4 Vendor Capacity. Frontier will continuously seek to improve vendor
performance for all premises work, including Collocation. Since the
vendors require notice in order to meet increases in demand, Frontier
will share EDNETICS actual and forecasted demand with appropriate
vendors, as required, subject to the appropriate confidentiality
safeguards.

1.3.5 Responsibility for Vendor Delays. No party shall be excused from their
obligations due to the acts or omissions of a Party's subcontractors,
material, person, suppliers or other third persons providing such
products or services to such Party unless such acts or omissions are
the product of a Force Majeure Event, or unless such delay or failure
and the consequences thereof are beyond the reasonable control and
without the fault or negligence of the Party claiming excusable delay or
failure to perform.

1.3.6 Space Preparation.
1.3.6.1 Cage Construction. For caged Collocation, EDNETICS
may construct the cage with a standard enclosure if they
are a Frontier approved contractor or EDNETICS may
subcontract this work to a Frontier approved contractor.
1.3.6.2 Site Selection/Power. Frontier shall designate the space
within its premise where EDNETICS shall collocate its
equipment. Frontier will assign Collocation space to
EDNETICS in a just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory
manner. Frontier will allow EDNETICS requesting caged or
cageless Collocation to submit space preferences on the
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 134
Application Form prior to assigning caged and cageless
Collocation space to EDNETICS. Frontier will assign caged
and cageless space in accordance with the following
standards: (1) EDNETICS's Collocation costs cannot be
materially increased by the assignment; (2) EDNETICS's
occupation and use of Frontier's premises cannot be
materially delayed by the assignment; (3) The assignment
cannot impair the quality of service or impose other
limitations on the service EDNETICS wishes to offer; and
(4) The assignment cannot reduce unreasonably the total
space available for caged and càgeless Collocation, or
preclude unreasonably, caged and cageless Collocation
within Frontier's premises.
Frontier may assign caged and cageless Collocation to
space separate from space housing Frontier's equipment,
provided that each of the following conditions is met: (1)
Either legitimate security concerns, or operational
constraints unrelated to Frontier's or any of its affiliates' or
subsidiaries competitive concerns, warrant such separation;
(2) Any caged and cageless Collocation space assigned to
an affiliate or subsidiary of Frontier is separated from space
housing Frontier's equipment; (3) The separated space will
be available in the same time frame as, or a shorter time
frame than, non-separated space; (4) The cost of the
separated space to EDNETICS will not be materially higher
than the cost of non-separated space; and (5) The
separated space is comparable, from a technical and
engineering standpoint, to non-separated space.
Where applicable, Frontier shall provide, at the rates set
forth in the Pricing Attachment described in Section 1.5.1,
48V DC power with generator and/or battery back-up, heat,
air conditioning and other environmental support to
EDNETICS's equipment in the same standards and
parameters required for Frontier equipment within that
Frontier premise. EDNETICS may install AC convenience
outlets and overhead lighting if EDNETICS is a Frontier
approved contractor, or this work may be subcontracted to a
Frontier approved contractor.
1.3.6.3 DC Power. Frontier will provide DC power to the
Collocation arrangement as specified by EDNETICS in its
Collocation application. The EDNETICS will specify the
load on each feed and the size of the fuse to be placed on
each feed. EDNETICS must order a minimum of ten (10)
load amps for each caged, cageless, and virtual Collocation
arrangement. EDNETICS may order additional DC Power
(beyond the minimum) in one (1) amp increments. Charges
for DC power will be applied based on the total number of
load amps ordered on each feed.
For example, if EDNETICS orders a total of 40 load amps of
DC power and an A and B feed, EDNETICS could order 20
load amps on the A feed and 20 load amps on the B feed.
Frontier will permit EDNETICS to order a fuse size up to 2.5
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 135
times the load amps ordered provided that applicable law
permits this practice. Thus, EDNETICS could order that
each feed be fused at 50 amps if EDNETICS wants one
feed to carry the entire load in the event the other feed fails.
Accordingly, EDNETICS will be charged on the basis of the
total number of load amps ordered, i.e., 40 amps, and not
based on the total number of amps available for the fuse
size ordered.

1.3.6.4 EDNETICS is responsible for engineering the power
consumption in its Collocation arrangements and therefore
must consider any special circumstances in determining the
fused capacity of each feed. Frontier will engineer the
power feeds to the Collocation arrangement in accordance
with industry standards based upon requirements ordered
by EDNETICS in its Collocation application. Any
subsequent orders to increase DC power load at a
Collocation arrangement must be submitted on a
Collocation application.

1.3.6.5 Frontier reserves the right to perform random inspections to
verify the actual power load being drawn by a Collocation
arrangement. At any time, without written notice, Frontier
may measure the DC power drawn at an arrangement by
monitoring Frontier's power distribution point. In those
instances where Frontier needs access to the Collocation
arrangement to make these measurements, Frontier will
schedule a joint meeting with EDNETICS.

1.3.6.6 If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn does
not exceed the total number of load amps ordered, no
further action will apply.

1.3.6.7 If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn
exceeds the total number of load amps ordered but is within
the applicable buffer zone, as defined in Section 1.3.6.7.2,
that arrangement is subject to the following treatment:
1.3.6.7.1 Frontier will provide EDNETICS with written
notification, by certified US mail to the person
designated by EDNETICS to receive such
notice, that more power is being drawn than was
ordered. Within ten (10) Business Days of the
date of receipt of notification, EDNETICS must
reduce the power being drawn to match its
ordered load or revise its power requirement to
accommodate the additional power being drawn.
Frontier will accept a certification signed by a
representative of EDNETICS that power
consumption has been reduced to match the
ordered load. Failure to reduce the power being
drawn or submit a revised application within ten
(10) Business Days will result in an increase in
the amount of power being billed to the audited
load amount.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 136
1.3.6.7.2 For a Collocation arrangement that has 100
amps or less fused, the buffer zone for the first
two violations during a consecutive twelve (12)
month period will be 120% of load, as long as
the second violation is not for the same
Collocation arrangement as the first. For any
subsequent violations, or if the second violation
is for the same Collocation arrangement, and for
any violation where the Collocation arrangement
has more than 100 amps fused, the buffer zone
will be 110% of load.
1.3.6.8 If the first inspection reveals that the power being drawn is
greater than the applicable buffer zone specified in
1.3.6.7.2, that arrangement is subject to the following
treatment:
1.3.6.8.1 Frontier will notify the person designated by
EDNETICS to receive such notice via telephone
or e-mail that Frontier will take a second
measurement no sooner than one (1) hour and
no later than two (2) days after the initial
inspection. Frontier will not wait for EDNETICS
or require it to be present during the second
inspection.
1.3.6.8.2 Additional Labor charges, as set forth in the
Pricing Attachment, apply for the cost
associated with performing this inspection.
1.3.6.8.3 EDNETICS may perform its own inspection at
EDNETICS's cage. EDNETICS is not required
to wait for Frontier or require it to be present
during EDNETICS test. Upon request of
EDNETICS, Frontier will send a representative
to accompany EDNETICS to conduct a joint
inspection at EDNETICS cage at no charge to
EDNETICS. Nothing herein shall be construed
to prohibit EDNETICS from testing at its own
cage. EDNETICS will send the results of its own
audit measurements to Frontier if they are taken
in response to a notice of violation under this
section and if EDNETICS's measurements differ
from Frontier's.
1.3.6.8.4 If the second test also exceeds the applicable
buffer zone, Frontier will provide EDNETICS
with written notification, within ten (10) Business
Days, by certified U.S. mail to the person
designated by EDNETICS to receive such notice
that it has exceeded its ordered power. The
notification will include: (1) initials or identifying
number of Frontier technician(s) who performed
the inspection; (2) dates and times of the
inspections; (3) the make, model and type of test
equipment used; (4)-the length of monitoring and
the results of the specific audit; (5) the total load
EDNETICS ID Compv3.3a_07142010 137
amps currently being billed; (6) how the test was
done; and (7) any other relevant information or
documents.
1.3.6.8.5 Frontier will maintain a file of results taken of
any inspections for two (2) years and such file
will be made available to EDNETICS that was
audited, upon request. Frontier will treat as
confidential information the identity of CLECs
that it audits as well as the results of such
audits, unless it receives prior written consent of
the affected CLEC to disclose such information
or is required by Applicable Law to disclose such
information to a court or commission. The
foregoing does not preclude Frontier from
making the notice described in Section 1.3.6.8.6.
1.3.6.8.6 If EDNETICS disagrees with the results of the
audit, EDNETICS will first notify Frontier.
Frontier and EDNETICS will make a good faith
effort to resolve the issue. If the parties do not
resolve the issue, either party can invoke
dispute resolution processes set forth in this
Agreement. The dispute resolution process set
forth in this Agreement can be initiated by either
party after thirty (30) calendar days have
elapsed. This period commences: (1)ten (10)
Business Days from receipt of the notification, in
the case of violation within the buffer zone; or (2)
after EDNETICS has received notice of the
second test, in the case of a violation over the
buffer zone.
1.3.6.8.7 With the notification required by Section
1.3.6.8.4, Frontier will also notify EDNETICS
that it must submit a non-scheduled attestation
of the power being drawn at each of its
remaining Collocation arrangements in the state.
EDNETICS must submit this non-scheduled
attestation within fifteen (15) Business Days of
the date of this notification. Failure to submit
this non-scheduled attestation will result in the
application of additional labor charges for any
subsequent DC power inspections Frontier
performs prior to receipt of the next scheduled
attestation. Scheduled attestations are defined
in Section 1.3.6.11.
1.3.6.9 If the inspection reveals that the power being drawn is
greater than the applicable buffer zone set forth in Section
1.3.6.7.2, then EDNETICS shall pay Frontier for additional
power, as well as make separate and additional payments
to a charitable organization agreed upon by the parties
("Charity") in accordance with the following:
1.3.6.9.1 For the first such violation within the same
consecutive twelve (12) month period,
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 138 -
EDNETICS will be billed the audited load
amount for four (4) months. EDNETICS will
make a separate and additional payment to the
Charity, measured as the difference between the
billing of the fused capacity and the billing at the
audited load for four (4) months. EDNETICS
must send notice of its Charity payment to
Frontier within ten (10) calendar days of making
the payment.
1.3.6.9.2 For the second such violation within the same
consecutive twelve (12) month period,
EDNETICS will be billed the audited load
amount for five (5) months. EDNETICS will
make a separate and additional payment to the
Charity, measured as the difference between the
billing of the fused capacity and the billing at the
audited load for five (5) months. EDNETICS
must send notice of its Charity payment to
Frontier within ten (10) calendar days of making
the payment.
1.3.6.9.3 For the third such violation within the same
consecutive twelve (12) month period,
EDNETICS will be billed the audited load
amount for six (6) months. EDNETICS will
make a separate and additional payment to the
Charity, measured as the difference between the
billing of the fused capacity and the billing at the
audited load for six (6) months. EDNETICS
must send notice of its Charity payment to
Frontier within ten (10) calendar days of making
the payment.
1.3.6.9.4 For more than three (3) violations within the
same consecutive twelve (12) month period,
Frontier will bill EDNETICS at the fused amount
for a minimum of six (6) months and continue to
bill at the fused amount until an updated
attestation or augment specifying revised power
is received.
1.3.6.9.5 Frontier will notify EDNETICS that it is being
billed pursuant to this Section 1.3.6.9,
designating the applicable number of months
and also calculating the payment owed to the
Charity, under the provisions set forth preceding.
1.3.6.9.6 At the conclusion of any dispute resolution
proceeding, the above payments will be self-
executing.
1.3.6.10 If EDNETICS has requested a power augment under which
the audited amount would be within the augmented load,
plus the applicable buffer zone set forth in Section 1.3.6.7.2,
and the augment is late due to the fault of Frontier, the
payments specified in Section 1.3.6.9 will not be imposed
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 139
and the parties will not count such an instance for purposes
of implementing Section 1.3.6.9.5.
1.3.6.11 Annually, EDNETICS must submit a written statement
signed by a responsible officer of EDNETICS, which attests
that it is not exceeding the total load of power as ordered in
its Collocation applications. This attestation, which must be
received by Frontier no later than the last day of June, shall
individually list all of EDNETICS's completed Collocation
arrangements provided by Frontier in the state. If
EDNETICS fails to submit this written statement by the last
day in June, Frontier will notify EDNETICS in writing that it
has thirty (30) calendar days to submit its power attestation.
Failure to submit the required statement within the thirty
(30) calendar day notice period will result in the billing of DC
power at each Collocation arrangement to be increased to
the total number of amps fused until such time as Frontier
receives the required written statement by EDNETICS.
1.3.6.12 Whenever Frontier is required to perform work on a
Collocation arrangement as a result of EDNETICS's order
for a reduction in power requirements (e.g., change in fuse
size), Frontier will assess a non-recurring charge for the
additional labor. The non-recurring charge applies for the
first half hour (or fraction thereof) and for each additional
half hour (or fraction thereof) per technician, per occurrence
as shown in the Pricing Attachment.
1.3.6.13 If EDNETICS orders a change in the power configuration
requiring new -48 volt DC power feeds to the Collocation
arrangement, Frontier will require an engineering/major
augment Fee with an application, as set forth in the Pricing
Attachment, subject to the terms and conditions described
in Section 1.2.5. In addition, if EDNETICS's order for a
reduction in DC power triggers the deployment of power
cabling to a different power distribution point, the
engineering/major augment fee as set forth in the Pricing
Attachment applies. Frontier will work cooperatively with
EDNETICS to configure the new power distribution cables
and disconnect the old ones.
1.3.7 Equipment and Facilities.
1.3.7.1 Purchase of Equipment. EDNETICS will be responsible for
supply, purchase, delivery, installation and maintenance of
its equipment and equipment bay(s) in the Collocation area.
Frontier is not responsible for the design, engineering, or
performance of EDNETICS's equipment and provided
facilities for Collocation. Upon installation of all
transmission and power cables for Collocation services,
EDNETICS relinquishes all rights, title and ownership of
transmission (excluding fiber entrance facility cable) and
power cables to Frontier.
1.3.7.2 Permissible Equipment. Frontier shall permit the
Collocation and use of any equipment necessary for
interconnection or access to unbundled network elements in
EDNETICS I DCompv3.3a07142010 140
accordance with the following standards: (1) Equipment is
necessary for interconnection if an inability to deploy that
equipment would, as a practical, economic, or operational
matter, preclude EDNETICS from obtaining interconnection
with Frontier at a level equal in quality to that which Frontier
obtains within its own network or Frontier provides to any of
its affiliates, subsidiaries, or other parties; and (2)
Equipment is necessary for access to an unbundled
network element if an inability to deploy that equipment
would, as a practical, economic, or operational matter,
preclude EDNETICS from obtaining nondiscriminatory
access to that unbundled network element, including any of
its features, functions, or capabilities.
Multi-functional equipment shall be deemed necessary for
interconnection or access to an unbundled network element
if and only if the primary purpose and function of the
equipment, as EDNETICS seeks to deploy it, meets either
or both of the standards set forth in the preceding
paragraph. For a piece of equipment to be utilized primarily
to obtain equal in quality interconnection or
nondiscriminatory access to one or more unbundled
network elements, there also must be a logical nexus
between the additional functions the equipment would
perform and the telecommunication services EDNETICS
seeks to provide to its customers by means of the
interconnection or unbundled network element. The
Collocation of those functions of the equipment that, as
stand-alone functions, do not meet either of the standards
set forth in the preceding paragraph must not cause the
equipment to significantly increase the burden on Frontier's
property.
Whenever Frontier objects to Collocation of equipment by
EDNETICS for purposes within the scope of Section
251 (c)(6) of the Act, Frontier shall prove to the state
commission that the equipment is not necessary for
interconnection or access to unbundled network elements
under the standards set forth above.
EDNETICS may place in its caged Collocation space
ancillary equipment such as cross connect frames, and
metal storage cabinets. Metal storage cabinets must meet
Frontier premise environmental standards.
1.3.7.3 Specifications. Collocation facilities shall be placed,
maintained, relocated or removed in accordance with the
applicable requirements and specifications of the current
editions of the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National
Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and rules and regulations of
the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the
Federal Communications Commission, the Commission,
and any other governing authority having jurisdiction. All
EDNETICS entrance facilities and splices must comply with
Telecordia Technologies' Generic Specification for Optical
Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable (TR-TSY-00020), Cable
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 141
Placing Handbook, Cable Splicing Handbook, Cable
Maintenance Handbook, and General Information Tools and
Safety, as they relate to fire, safety, health, environmental
safeguards or interference with Frontier services or
facilities. EDNETICS designated and installed equipment
located within Frontier premises must comply with the most
recent issue, unless otherwise specified, of Telecordia
Technologies' Network Equipment Building System (NEBS)
Generic Equipment Requirements (GR-CORE-63) as it
pertains to safety requirements. This equipment must also
comply with the most current issue, unless otherwise
specified, of Frontier's Network Equipment Installation
Standards (Frontier Information Publication IP 72201) and
Frontier's Central Office Engineering Standards (Frontier
Information Publication IP 72013). Where a difference in
specification may exist, the more stringent shall apply. If
there is a conflict between industry standards and Frontier's
technical specifications, EDNETICS and Frontier will make
a good faith effort to resolve the difference. EDNETICS
designated facilities shall not physically, electronically or
inductively interfere with the facilities of Frontier, other
CLEC(s), tenant(s) or any other party. If such interference
occurs, Frontier may take action as permitted under Section
1.8.
EDNETICS equipment must conform to the same specific
risk/safety/hazard standards which Frontier imposes on its
own central office equipment as defined in Frontier's NEBS
requirements RNSA-NEB-95-0003, Revision 10 or higher.
EDNETICS equipment is not required to meet the same
performance and reliability standards as Frontier imposes
on its own equipment as defined in Frontier's RNSA-NEB-
95-0003, Revision 10 or higher. In addition, EDNETICS
may install equipment that has been deployed by Frontier
for five (5) years or more with a proven safety record;
however, this provision does not prohibit the installation of
equipment less than five years old, provided the equipment
meets the NEBS safety guidelines referenced in this section
prior to the time of deployment Frontier reserves the right
to specify the type of cable, equipment and construction
standards required in situations not otherwise covered in
this Agreement. In such cases, Frontier will, at its
discretion, furnish to EDNETICS written material which will
specify and explain the required construction.
1.3.7.4 Cable. EDNETICS is required to provide proper cabling,
based on circuit type (VF, DSO, xDSL, DS1, DS3, etc.) to
ensure adequate shielding and reduce the possibility of
interference. EDNETICS is responsible for providing fire
retardant riser cable that meets Frontier standards. Frontier
is responsible for placing EDNETICS's fire retardant riser
cable from the cable vault to the Collocation space. Frontier
is responsible for installing EDNETICS provided fiber optic
cable in the cable space or conduit from the first manhole to
the premises. This may be shared conduit with dedicated
inner duct. If EDNETICS provides its own fiber optic facility,
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 142
then EDNETICS shall be responsible for bringing its fiber
optic cable to the Frontier premise manhole. EDNETICS
must leave sufficient cable length for Frontier to be able to
fully extend such cable through to EDNETICS's Collocation
space.
1.3.7.5 Manhole/SDlicing Restrictions. Frontier reserves the right to
prohibit all equipment and facilities, other than fiber optic
cable, in its manholes. EDNETICS will not be permitted to
splice fiber optic cable in the first manhole outside of the
Frontier premise. Where EDNETICS is providing
underground fiber optic cable in Manhole #1, it must be of
sufficient length as specified by Frontier to be pulled
through the Frontier premise to EDNETICS's Collocation
space. Frontier is responsible for installing a cable splice, if
necessary, where EDNETICS provided fiber optic cable
meets Frontier standards within the Frontier premise cable
vault or designated splicing chamber. Frontier will provide
space and racking for the placement of an approved
secured fire retardant splice enclosure.
1.3.7.6 Access Points and Restrictions. Points of interconnection
and demarcation between EDNETICS's facilities and
Frontier's facilities will be designated by Frontier. This
point(s) will be a direct connection(s) to EDNETICS's
network. Frontier shall have the right to require EDNETICS
to terminate Collocation facilities onto a Point of Termination
(POT) Bay. EDNETICS must tag all entrance facilities to
indicate ownership. EDNETICS will not be allowed access
to Frontier's DSX line-ups, MDF or any other Frontier facility
termination points. Only Frontier employees, agents or
contractors will be allowed access to the MDF, DSX, or fiber
distribution panel to terminate facilities, test connectivity, run
jumpers and/or hot patch in-service circuits.
1.3.7.7 Staging Area. For caged and cageless Collocation
arrangements, EDNETICS shall have the right to use a
designated staging area, a portion of the Frontier premise
and loading areas, if available, on a temporary basis during
EDNETICS's equipment installation work in the Collocation
space. EDNETICS is responsible for protecting Frontier's
equipment Frontier premise walls and flooring within the
staging area and along the staging route. EDNETICS will
meet all Frontier fire, safety, security and environmental
requirements. The temporary staging area will be vacated
and delivered to Frontier in an acceptable condition upon
completion of the installation work. EDNETICS may also
utilize a staging trailer, which can be located on the exterior
premises of Frontier premise. Frontier may assess
EDNETICS a market value lease rate for the area occupied
by the trailer.
1.3.7.8 Testing. Upon installation of EDNETICS's equipment, and
with prior notice, Frontier and EDNETICS will mutually
agree to schedule a meeting prior to the turn-up phase of
the equipment to ensure proper functionality between
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 143
EDNETICS's equipment and the connections to Frontier
equipment. The time period for this to occur will correspond
to Frontier's maintenance window installation requirements.
It is solely the responsibility of EDNETICS to provide their
own monitor and test points, if required, for connection
directly to its terminal equipment. If EDNETICS cannot
attend the scheduled turn-up phase meeting for any reason,
EDNETICS must provide Frontier with seventy-two (72)
hours advanced written notice prior to the scheduled
meeting. If EDNETICS fails to attend the scheduled
meeting without the advanced written notification, Frontier
reserves the right to charge EDNETICS additional labor
rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment for subsequent
turn-up meetings with EDNETICS which are required to
complete the turn-up phase of the Collocation arrangement.
1.3.7.9 Interconnection Between Collocated Sraces. Dedicated
Transit Service (DTS), which allows for interconnection
between EDNETICS and another CLEC, provides a
dedicated electrical or optical path between Collocation
arrangements (caged, cageless, and virtual) of the same or
of two different CLECs within the same Frontier premises,
using Frontier provided distribution facilities. DTS is
available for DSO, DS1, DS3, and dark fiber cross connects.
In addition, Frontier will also provide other technically
feasible cross-connection arrangements, including lit fiber,
on an Individual Case Basis (ICB) as requested by
EDNETICS and agreed to by Frontier. Frontier will offer
DTS to EDNETICS as long as such access is technically
feasible.
DTS is only available when both Collocation arrangements
(either caged, cageless, and/or virtual) being interconnected are
within the same Frontier premises, provided that the collocated
equipment is used for interconnection with Frontier and/or for
access to the Frontier's unbundled network elements. Frontier
shall provide such DTS connections from EDNETICS's
Collocation arrangement to another Collocation arrangement of
EDNETICS within the same Frontier premises, or to a
Collocation arrangement of another CLEC in the same Frontier
premises. DTS is provided at the same transmission level from
EDNETICS to another CLEC.
The DTS arrangement requires EDNETICS to provide cable
assignment information for itself as well as for the other CLEC.
Frontier will not make cable assignments for DTS. EDNETICS
is responsible for all DTS ordering, bill payment, disconnect
orders and maintenance transactions and is the customer of
record. When initiating a DTS request, EDNETICS must
submit an Access Service Request (ASR) and a letter of
agency from the CLEC it is connecting to that authorizes the
DTS connection and facility assignment. DTS is provided on a
negotiated interval with EDNETICS.
1.3.7.10 Optical Facility Terminations. If EDNETICS requests
access to unbundled dark fiber interoffice facilities,
EDNETICS ID Camp v3.3a _07142010 144
EDNETICS may apply for a fiber optic patchcord
connection(s) between Frontier's fiber distribution panel
(FDP) and EDNETICS's collocated transmission equipment
and facilities. The fiber optic patchcord cross connect is
limited in use solely in conjunction with access to unbundled
dark fiber and Dedicated Transit Service.
1.3.7.11 Non-Compliant Installations and Operations. If at any time
Frontier reasonably determines that either EDNETICS's
Collocation equipment or it's engineering and installation do
not meet the requirements outlined in this Attachment,
EDNETICS will be responsible for the costs associated with
the removal of equipment or modification of the equipment
or engineering and installation to render it compliant. If
EDNETICS fails to correct any non-compliance with these
standards within thirty (30) days' written notice to
EDNETICS, Frontier may have the equipment removed or
the condition corrected at EDNETICS expense. If, during
the installation phase, Frontier reasonably determines that
any EDNETICS designated equipment is unsafe, non-
standard orin violation of any applicable fire, environmental,
security, or other laws or regulations, Frontier has the right
to immediately stop the work until the problem is corrected
to Frontier's satisfaction. However, when any of the above
conditions poses an immediate threat to the safety of
Frontier employees, interferes with the performance of
Frontier's service obligations, or poses an immediate threat
to the physical integrity of the overhead superstructure or
any other facilities of Frontier, Frontier may perform such
work and/or take such action that Frontier deems necessary
without prior notice to EDNETICS. The reasonable cost of
said work and/or actions shall be borne by EDNETICS.
Frontier reserves the right to remove products, facilities and
equipment from its list of approved products upon ninety
(90) days' notice to EDNETICS if such products, facilities
and equipment are determined to be no longer compliant
with NEBS safety standards. If EDNETICS equipment
poses an immediate safety threat, EDNETICS shall remove
the equipment immediately.
1.3.8 Access to Collocation Space. Frontier will permit EDNETICS's
employees, agents, and contractors approved by Frontier to have
direct access to EDNETICS's caged and cageless Collocation
equipment twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week and
reasonable access to Frontier's restroom and parking facilities.
EDNETICS's employees, agents, or contractors must comply with the
policies and practices of Frontier pertaining to fire, safety, and security.
Frontier reserves the right, with twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to
EDNETICS, to access EDNETICS's collocated partitioned space to
perform periodic inspections to ensure compliance with Frontier
installation, safety and security practices. Where EDNETICS shares a
common entrance to the Frontier premise with Frontier, the reasonable
use of shared building facilities, e.g., elevators, unrestricted corridors,
etc., will be permitted. However, Frontier reserves the right to
permanently remove and/or deny access from Frontier premises, any
EDNETICS employee, agent, or contractor who violates Frontier's
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 145
policies, work rules, or business conduct standards, or otherwise
poses a security risk to Frontier.

1.3.9 Network Outage, Damage and Reporting. EDNETICS shall be
responsible for: (a) any damage or network outage occurring as a
result of EDNETICS owned or EDNETICS designated termination
equipment in Frontier premise; (b) providing trouble report status when
requested; (c) providing a contact number that is readily accessible
twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week; (d) notifying
Frontier of significant outages which could impact or degrade
Frontier's switches and services and provide estimated clearing time
for restoral; and (e) testing its equipment to identify and clear a trouble
report when the trouble has been sectionalized (isolated) to
EDNETICS service.
Frontier will make every effort to contact EDNETICS in the event
EDNETICS equipment disrupts the network. If Frontier is unable to
make contact with EDNETICS, Frontier shall temporarily disconnect
EDNETICS's service, as provided in Section 1.3.11.

1.3.10 Security Requirements.
1.3.10.1 Security Measures. EDNETICS agrees that its
employees/vendors with access to Frontier premise shall at
all times adhere to the rules of conduct established by
Frontier for the Frontier premises and Frontier's personnel
and vendors. Frontier reserves the right to make changes
to such procedures and rules to preserve the integrity and
operation of Frontier's network or facilities or to comply with
applicable laws and regulations. Frontier will provide
EDNETICS with written notice of such changes. Where
applicable, Frontier will provide information to EDNETICS
on the specific type of security training required so
EDNETICS's employees can complete such training.
EDNETICS will maintain with Frontier a list of all EDNETICS
employees who are currently authorized by EDNETICS to
access its caged and cageless Collocation space and will
include social security numbers of all such individuals.
EDNETICS will also maintain with Frontier a list of its
collocated-approved vendors and their social security
numbers who request access to caged and cageless
Collocation space. Only those individuals approved by
Frontier will be allowed access to Frontier premises and
caged and cageless Collocation space. Where required by
agencies of federal, state, or local government, only
individuals that are U.S. citizens will be granted access. All
EDNETICS personnel must obtain and prominently display
a valid non-employee Frontier identification card. Former
employees of Frontier will be given access to Frontier
premises by EDNETICS in accordance with the Frontier's
normal security procedures applicable to any Vendor(s) or
Contractor(s) on Frontier's premises. Frontier reserves the
right to revoke any identification badge and/or access card
of any EDNETICS employee or agent found in violations of
the terms and conditions set forth herein.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 146
EDNETICS must follow Frontier's security guidelines, which
are published on Frontier's web site. Frontier may suspend
a EON ETICS employee or agent from Frontier's premises if
his/her actions materially affect the safety and/or integrity of
Frontier's network or the safety of Frontier or other
EDNETICS employees/agents. Unless EDNETICS
employee or agent poses an immediate threat to Frontier or
other CLECs, Frontier will provide EDNETICS with a written
explanation of violations committed by the EDNETICS
employee or agent four (4) Business Days prior to
suspending EON ETICS employee or agent from Frontier
premises. EDNETICS will have two (2) Business Days to
respond to Frontier's notification. Any such employee or
agent may later be allowed readmission to Frontier
premises on mutually agreeable terms. Nothing in this
section, however, restricts Frontier's authority to bar the
EDNETICS employee or agent from Frontier premises for
violating Frontier's security guidelines.
1.3.10.2 Security Standards. Frontier will be solely responsible for
determining the appropriate level of security in each Frontier
premise. Frontier reserves the - right to deny access to
Frontier buildings and/or outside facility structures for any
EDNETICS employee, agent or contractor who cannot meet
Frontier's established security standards. Employees,
agents or contractors of EDNETICS are required to meet
the same security requirements and adhere to the same
work rules that Frontier's employees and contractors are
required to follow. Frontier also reserves the right to deny
access to Frontier buildings and/or outside facility structures
for EDNETICS's employee, agent and contractor for
falsification of records, violation of fire, safety or security
practices and policies or other just cause. EDNETICS
employees, agents or contractors who meet Frontiers
established security standards will be provided access to
EDNETICS's caged and cageless Collocation equipment 24
hours a day, seven days a week and reasonable access to
Frontier's restroom facilities. If EDNETICS employees,
agents or contractors request and are granted access to
other areas of Frontier's premises, a Frontier employee,
agent or contractor may accompany and observe
EDNETICS employee(s), agent(s) or contractor(s) at no
cost to EDNETICS. Frontier may use reasonable security
measures to protect its equipment, including, for example,
enclosing its equipment in its own cage or other separation,
utilizing monitored card reader systems, digital security
cameras, badges with computerized tracking systems,
identification swipe cards, keyed access and/or logs, as
deemed appropriate by Frontier.
Frontier may require EDNETICS employees and contractors
to use a central or separate entrance to Frontier's premises,
provided, however, that where Frontier requires that
EDNETICS employees or contractors access collocated
equipment only through a separate entrance, employees
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 147
and contractors of Frontier's affiliates and subsidiaries will
be subject to the same restriction.
Frontier may construct or require the construction of a
separate entrance to access caged and cageless
Collocation space, provided that each of the following
conditions is met: (i) Construction of a separate entrance is
technically feasible; (ii) Either legitimate security concerns,
or operational constraints unrelated to the incumbent's or
any of its affiliates' or subsidiaries competitive concerns,
warrant such separation; (iii) Construction of a separate
entrance will not artificially delay Collocation provisioning;
and (iv) Construction of a separate entrance will not
materially increase EDNETICS's Collocation costs.
1.3.10.3 Access Cards/Identification. Access cards or keys will be
provided to no more than a reasonable number of
individuals for EDNETICS for each Frontier premise for the
purpose of installation, maintenance and repair of
EDNETICS's caged and cageless Collocation equipment.
All EDNETICS employees, agents and contractors
requesting access to the Frontier premise are required to
have a photo identification card, which identifies the person
by name and the name of EDNETICS. The ID must be
worn on the individual's exterior clothing while on or at
Frontier premises. Frontier will provide EDNETICS with
instructions and necessary access cards or keys to obtain
access to Frontier premises. EDNETICS is required to
immediately notify Frontier by the most expeditious means,
when any EDNETICS's employee, agent or contractor with
access privileges to Frontier premises is no longer in its
employ, or when keys, access cards or other means of
obtaining access to Frontier premises are lost, stolen or not
returned by an employee, agent or contractor no longer in
its employ. EDNETICS is responsible for the immediate
retrieval and return to Frontier of all keys, access cards or
other means of obtaining access to Frontier premises upon
termination of employment of EDNETICS's employee
and/or termination of service. EDNIETICS shall be
responsible for the replacement cost of keys, access cards
or other means of obtaining access when lost, stolen or
failure of EDNETICS or EDNETICS's employee, agent or
contractor to return to Frontier.
1.3.11 Emergency Access. EDNETICS is responsible for providing a contact
number that is readily accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
EDNETICS will provide access to its Collocation space at all times to
allow Frontier to react to emergencies, to maintain the building
operating systems (where applicable and necessary) and to ensure
compliance with OSHA/Frontier regulations and standards related to
fire, safety, health and environment safeguards. Frontier will attempt
to notify EDNETICS in advance of any such emergency access. If
advance notification is not possible Frontier Will provide notification of
any such entry to EDNETICS as soon as possible following the entry,
indicating the reasons for the entry and any actions taken which might
impact EDNETICS's facilities or equipment and its ability to provide
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 148
service. Frontier will restrict access to EDNETICS's Collocation space
to persons necessary to handle such an emergency. The emergency
provisioning and restoration of interconnection service shall be in
accordance with Part 64, Subpart D, Paragraph 64.401, of the FCC's
Rules and Regulations, which specifies the priority for such activities.
Frontier reserves the right, without prior notice, to access EDNETICS's
Collocation space in an emergency, such as fire or other unsafe
conditions, or for purposes of averting any threat of harm imposed by
EDNETICS or EDNETICS's equipment upon the operation of
Frontier's or another CLEC's equipment, facilities and/or employees
located outside EDNETICS's Collocation space. Frontier will notify
EDNETICS as soon as possible when such an event has occurred. In
case of a Frontier work stoppage, EON ETICS's employees,
contractors or agents will comply with the emergency operation
procedures established by Frontier. Such emergency procedures
should not directly affect EDNETICS's access to its premises, or ability
to provide service. EDNETICS will notify Frontier point of contact of
any work stoppages by EDNETICS employees.
1.4 SDace Reauirements.
1.4.1 Space Availability. If Frontier is unable to accommodate caged and
cageless Collocation requests at a Frontier premise due to space
limitations or other technical reasons, Frontier will post a list of all such
sites on its website and will update the list within ten (10) calendar
days of the date at which a Frontier premise runs out of caged and
cageless Collocation space. This information will be listed at the
following public Internet URL: www.frontier.com . Where Frontier has
denied caged and cageless Collocation requests at a Frontier premise
due to space limitations or other technical reasons, Frontier shall: (a)
submit to the state commission, subject to any protective order as the
state may deem necessary, detailed floor plans or diagrams of the
Frontier premise which show what space, if any, Frontier or any of its
affiliates has reserved for future use; and describe in detail, the
specific future uses for which the space has been reserved and the
length of time for each reservation; and (b) allow EDNETICS to tour
the entire premises of the Frontier premise, without charge, within ten
(10) calendar days of the tour request.
1.4.2 Minimum/Maximum/Additional Space. The standard sizes of caged
Collocation space will be increments of 100 square feet unless
mutually agreed to otherwise by Frontier and EDNETICS. The
minimum amount of floor space available toEDNETICS at the time of
the initial application will be twenty-five (25) square feet of caged
Collocation space or one (1) single bay in the case of cageless
Collocation. The maximum amount of space available in a specific
Frontier premise to EDNETICS will be limited to the amount of existing
suitable space which is technically feasible to support the Collocation
arrangement requested. Existing suitable space is defined as
available space in a Frontier premise that does not require the addition
of AC/DC power, heat and air conditioning, battery and/or generator
back-up power and other requirements necessary for provisioning
Collocation services. Additional space to provide for caged, cageless
and/or adjacent Collocation will be provided on a per request basis,
where available. Additional space can be requested by EDNETICS by
completing and submitting a new application form and the applicable
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 149
non-refundable engineering fee set forth in the Pricing Attachment.
Frontier will not be required to lease additional space when available
space has been exhausted.
1.4.3 Use of Space. Frontier and EDNETICS will work cooperatively to
determine proper space requirements, and efficient use of space. In
addition to other applicable requirements set forth in this Agreement,
EDNETICS shall install all its equipment within its designated area in
contiguous line-ups in order to optimize the utilization of space within
Frontier's premises. EDNETICS shall use the Collocation space solely
for the purposes of installing, maintaining and operating EDNETICSs
equipment to interconnect for the exchange of traffic with Frontier
and/or for purposes of accessing UNEs. EDNETICS shall not
construct improvements or make alterations or repairs to the
Collocation space without the prior written approval of Frontier. The
Collocation space may not be used for administrative purposes and
may not be used as EDNETICS's employee(s) work location, office or
retail space, or storage. The Collocation space shall not be used as
EDNETICS's mailing or shipping address.
1.4.4 Reservation of Space. Frontier reserves the right to manage its
Frontier premise conduit requirements and to reserve vacant space for
planned facility. Frontier will retain and reserve a limited amount of
vacant floor space within its Frontier premises for its own specific
future uses on terms no more favorable than applicable to other
CLECs seeking to reserve Collocation space for their own future use.
If the remaining vacant floor space within a Frontier premise is
reserved for Frontier's own specific future use, the Frontier premise
will be exempt from future caged and cageless Collocation requests.
EDNETICS shall not be permitted to reserve Frontier premise cable
space or conduit system. If new conduit is required, Frontier will
negotiate with EDNETICS to determine an alternative arrangement for
the specific location. EDNETICS will be allowed to reserve Collocation
space for its caged/cageless arrangements based on EDNETICSs
documented forecast provided Frontier and subject to space
availability. Such forecast must demonstrate a legitimate need to
reserve the space for use on terms no more favorable than applicable
to Frontier seeking to reserve vacant space for its own specific use.
Cageless Collocation bays may not be used solely for the purpose of
storing EDNETICS equipment.
1.4.5 Collocation Space Report. Upon request by EDNETICS and upon
EDNETICS signing a Collocation nondisclosure agreement, Frontier
will make available a Collocation space report with the following
information for the Frontier premise requested:
1.4.5.1 Detailed description and amount of caged and cageless
Collocation space available;
1.4.5.2 Number of telecommunications carriers with existing
Collocation arrangements;
1.4.5.3 Modifications of the use of space since the last Collocation
space report requested; and,
1.4.5.4 Measures being taken, if any, to make additional
Collocation spaces available.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _0714201 0 150
The Collocation space report is not required prior to the submission of
a Collocation application for a specific Frontier premise in order to
determine Collocation space availability for the Frontier premise. The
Collocation space report will be provided to EDNETICS within ten (10)
calendar days of the request provided the request is submitted during
the ordinary course of business. A Collocation space report fee
contained in the Pricing Attachment will be assessed per request and
per Frontier premise.
1.4.6 Reclamation. When initiating an application form, EDNETICS must
have started installing equipment approved for Collocation at Frontier
premise within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed sixty (60)
calendar days from the date EDNETICS accepts the Collocation
arrangement. If EDNETICS does not utilize its Collocation space
within the established time period, and has not met the space
reservation requirements of Section 1.4.4 to the extent applicable,
Frontier may reclaim the unused Collocation space to accommodate
another CLEC's request or Frontier's future space requirements.
Frontier shall have the right, for good cause shown, and upon sixty
(60) calendar days' notice, to reclaim any Collocation space, cable
space or conduit space in order to fulfill its obligation under public
service law and its Tariffs to provide telecommunication services to its
Customers. In such cases, Frontier will reimburse EDNETICS for
reasonable direct costs and expenses in connection with such
reclamation. Frontier will make every reasonable effort to find other
alternatives before attempting to reclaim any such space. EDNETICS

liability that may exist as a result of damage from fire or other casualty.
1.7.6 Each party shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making
any claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage
resulting from fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such
insurance is in full force and collectible and to the extent permitted by
law, Frontier and EDNETICS each will release and waive all right of
recovery against the other or any one claiming through or under each
of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The release and waiver
shall be in force only if both releasers' insurance policies contain a
clause providing that such release or waiver shall not invalidate the
insurance and also, provided that such a policy can be obtained
without additional premiums.
1.7.7 Frontier will not carry insurance on the EDNETICS furniture and/or
furnishings or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or
appurtenances removable by EDNETICS and therefore will not be

1.8 Implementation and Termination of Service.
1.8.1 Implementation of Collocation Charges. Frontier shall provide
EDNETICS with a notice ("Scheduled Completion Notice") indicating
the scheduled completion date ("Scheduled Completion Date") for the
Collocation arrangement. Frontier shall also provide a notice that will
remind EDNETICS of the Scheduled Completion Date and will request
EDNETICS to schedule and attend a "Collocation Acceptance
Meeting" ("CAM"). Collocation charges will be implemented in
accordance with this section regardless of the readiness of EDNETICS
to utilize the completed Collocation arrangement.
1.8.1.1 Collection of Non-Recurring Charges. The initial payment
of non-recurring charges (NRCs) shall be due and payable
in accordance with Section 1.3.3. EDNETICS shall pay the
balance of the NRCs ("NRC Balance") upon EDNETICS
acceptance of the Collocation arrangement or thirty (30)
calendar days after the Collocation arrangement is
completed, whichever comes first.
1.8.1.2 Commencement of Recurring Charges. Monthly recurring
charges will commence upon CLEC acceptance of the
Collocation arrangement or thirty (30) calendar days after
the Collocation arrangement is completed, whichever
comes first ("Commencement Date"), and shall continue
until terminated pursuant to Section 1.8).
1.8.1.3 Extension Request. A CLEC may request to extend or
delay the Scheduled Completion Date of a Collocation
arrangement for up to six (6) months. A CLEC electing to
extend the Scheduled Completion Date of a Collocation
arrangement must notify Frontier in writing ("Extension
Notice") within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the
Scheduled Completion Notice. In order for Frontier to delay
billing of monthly recurring charges for the applicable
Collocation arrangement, EDNETICS must remit the NRC
Balance to Frontier for the Collocation arrangement with the
Extension Notice. Monthly recurring charges will not be
billed by Frontier until the space for the Collocation
arrangement is accepted by EDNETICS or the six (6) month
extension period has expired, whichever comes first. At any
time during or after the extension period, if EDNETICS
terminates its Collocation arrangement, the termination shall
be governed by Section 1.8.4.
If Frontier ascertains the space for the Collocation
arrangement is needed to satisfy another CLEC's
Collocation request prior to the end of the six (6) month
extension period, Frontier will notify EDNETICS that its
Collocation space has been requested by another CLEC.
EDNETICS will have up to five (5) Business Days after the
notification to retain the Collocation space by notifying
Frontier in writing that it desires to keep the space
("Retention Notice"). If EDNETICS retains the Collocation
space, monthly recurring charges shall commence for
EDNETICS thirty (30) calendar days after EDNETICS sends
EDNETCS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 157
the Retention Notice or when EDNETICS accepts the
space, whichever comes first.
1.8.2 Grounds for Termination by Frontier. Failure by EDNETICS to comply
with the terms and conditions of this Attachment, including
nonpayment of rates and charges, may result in termination of
Collocation service. In addition to the other grounds for termination of
Collocation services set forth herein, Frontier reserves the right to
terminate such services upon thirty (30) calendar days notice in the
event EDNETICS: (a) is not in conformance with provisions of this

imposes continued disruption and threat of harm to Company
employees and/or network, or Frontier's ability to provide service to
other CLECs.
Frontier also reserves the right to terminate such services, without prior
notice, in the event EDNETICS's Collocation arrangement imposes
emergency conditions, such as fire or other unsafe conditions, upon
the operation of Frontier's equipment and facilities or to Company
employees located outside EDNETICS's Collocation space.
Frontier reserves the right to inspect EDNETICS's Collocation
arrangement to determine if sufficient DC Power and/or facility
terminations are being used to maintain interconnection and/or access
to unbundled network elements. If Frontier determines that the
Collocation arrangement is not being used for interconnection and/or
access to unbundled network elements (from, for example, insufficient
DC Power and/or facility terminations), Frontier reserves the right to
terminate EDNETICS's Collocation service upon thirty (30) calendar
days notice.
If Frontier elects to terminate a Collocation arrangement pursuant to
this section, the termination shall be governed by Section 1.8.4.
1.8.3 Termination by CLEC. EDNETICS must notify Frontier in writing of its
plans to terminate a Collocation arrangement ("CLEC Termination
Notice"), and such EDNETICS termination shall be governed by this
Section.
1.8.3.1 Termination After ComDletion. If EDNETICS elects to
terminate an existing Collocation arrangement after a
Collocation arrangement has been completed, the
termination will be effective thirty (30) calendar days after
Frontier's receipt of EDNETICS Termination Notice. If
CLEC terminates a Collocation arrangement under this
section, the termination shall be governed by Section 1.8.4
and EDNETICS remains responsible to pay any unpaid
NRCs associated with the terminated arrangement as set
forth in Section 1.8.1. If the Collocation arrangement being
terminated contains equipment in which a third party
maintains an ownership or a security interest, EDNETICS
shall include a list of any such owners and secured parties
in EDNETICS Termination Notice.

terminate a request for Collocation when construction is in
progress and prior to completion of the Collocation
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 07142010 158
arrangement, the termination will be effective upon
Frontier's receipt of EDNETICS Termination Notice. For all
non-recurring charges associated with providing the
Collocation arrangement, EDNETICS will be billed and is
responsible for payment of non-recurring charges in
accordance with the following (for the purposes of this
section, the number of "Days" refers to Business Days
measured from Frontier's receipt of a complete application
from EDNETICS):
1.8.3.2.1 Effective date of EDNETICS termination on or
between Days 1 t 15, EDNETICS owes 20% of
non-recurring charges.
1.8.3.2.2 Effective date of EDNETICS termination on or

Day 60, EDNETICS owes 100% of non-recurring
charges.
If after applying these percentages to NRCs already paid by
EDNETICS, any refunds are due EDNETICS, such refunds
shall be applied first as a credit to any accounts with
balances owed by EDNETICS to Frontier, with any
remaining refund amount issued to EDNETICS.
Engineering/major augment fees submitted with the
application will not be refunded. EDNETICS Termination
Notice must be received by Frontier prior to the Scheduled
Completion Date to avoid incurring any monthly recurring
charges.
1.8.4 Effects of Termination, If Frontier or EDNETICS terminates a
Collocation arrangement under the terms and conditions of this
Attachment, the following provisions shall apply:
1.8.4.1 Equipment Removal and Monthly Recurring Charges.
EDNETICS shall disconnect and remove its equipment from
the designated Collocation space by the effective date of
the termination. Upon removal by EDNETICS of all its
equipment from the Collocation space, if EDNETICS does
not restore the Collocation space to its original condition at
time of occupancy, EDNETICS will reimburse Frontier for
the cost to do so. Due to physical and technical constraints,
removal of EDNETICS entrance facility cable will be at
Frontier's option. EDNETICS shall reimburse Frontier for all
costs Frontier incurs to decommission DC Power and
transmission cable terminations previously applied for by
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 159
EDNETICS. Frontier reserves the right to remove
EDNETICS's equipment if EDNETICS fails to remove and
dispose of the equipment by the effective date of the
termination. EDNETICS will be charged the appropriate
additional labor charge in the Pricing Attachment for the
removal and disposal of such equipment. All monthly
recurring charges will continue to be charged to EDNETICS
until the effective date of the termination or, at Frontier
discretion, until any later date up to the date that all
equipment is removed and the Collocation space is restored
to its original condition at space turnover.
1.8.4.2 Refund of Non-Recurring Charges. If Frontier or
EDNETICS has terminated a Collocation arrangement
pursuant to Sections 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 and EDNETICS
("original CLEC") has paid a non-recurring charge(s) for an
asset in a Collocation arrangement, and is succeeded by
another CLEC who uses the same asset ("subsequent
CLEC"), EDNETICS will receive a refund from Frontier for
the remaining undepreciated amount of the asset upon
occupancy by the subsequent CLEC up to the applicable
non-recurring charges paid by the subsequent CLEC. If
Frontier uses an asset for which EDNETICS paid a non-
recurring charge, Frontier will make a pro rata refund of
such paid non-recurring charges to EDNETICS. For
purposes of calculating prorated refunds to EDNETICS,
Frontier will use the economic life of the asset. Any refunds
issued pursuant to this section shall be applied first as a
credit to any accounts with balances owed by EDNETICS to
Frontier, and any remaining refund amount will be issued to
EDNETICS. Engineering/major augment fees submitted
with the application and any other paid non-recurring
charges not associated with the asset will not be refunded.

1.8.5 Closure, Decommissioning or Sale of Premises. Collocation
arrangements will automatically terminate if the premise in which the
Collocation space is located is closed, decommissioned or sold and no
longer houses Frontier's network facilities. At least one hundred
eighty (180) days written notice will be given to EDNETICS of events
which may lead to the automatic termination of any such arrangement
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Attachment, except when
extraordinary circumstances require a shorter interval. In such cases,
Frontier will provide notice to EDNETICS as soon as practicable.
Frontier will work with EDNETICS to identify alternate Collocation
arrangements. Frontier will work cooperatively with EDNETICS to
minimize any potential for service interruption resulting from such
actions.

1.8.6 Miscellaneous. Frontier retains ownership of Frontier premise floor
space, adjacent land and equipment used to provide all forms of
Collocation. Frontier reserves for itself and its successors and
assignees, the right to utilize the Frontier premises' space in such a
manner as will best enable it to fulfill Frontier's service requirements.
EDNETICS does not receive, as a result of entering into a Collocation
arrangement hereunder, any right, title or interest in Frontier's premise
facility, the multiplexing node, multiplexing node enclosure, cable,
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a_07142010 160
cable space, cable racking, vault space or conduit space other than as
expressly provided herein. To the extent that EDNETICS requires use
of a Frontier local exchange line, EDNETICS must order a business
local exchange access line (Bi). EDNETICS may not use Frontier
official lines.
1.9 Virtual Collocation.
Unless otherwise specified in this Section 1.9, the provisions contained in other
sections of the Collocation Attachment shall apply to virtual Collocation.
1.9.1 Description. Under virtual Collocation, Frontier installs and maintains
EDNETICS provided equipment, which is dedicated to the exclusive
use of EDNETICS in a Collocation arrangement. EDNETICS provides
fiber-optic facilities through Frontier entrance manholes for connection
to EDNETICS virtually collocated transmission equipment that
provides interconnection to Frontier facilities located in the premises.
The physical point of interface for connection to the virtual arrangement
is referred to as manhole zero. From this manhole into the premises,
Frontier shall assume ownership of and maintain the fiber. From this
manhole toward EDNETICS's location, the fiber optic cable remains
EDNETICS's responsibility, with EDNETICS performing all servicing
and maintaining full ownership. If EDNETICS is purchasing Frontier
provided unbundled interoffice facilities as transport, EDNETICS
entrance fiber is not required. All elements/services shall be connected
to the output cables of the virtual Collocation arrangement using
Frontier designated cable assignments, not channel assignments.
Virtual Collocation is offered on a first come, first served basis and is
provided subject to the availability of space and facilities in each
premises where virtual Collocation is requested.
If EDNETICS requests virtual Collocation of equipment other than the
standard virtual arrangement, EDNETICS and Frontier will mutually
agree upon the type of equipment to be virtually collocated.
1.9.2 Implementation Intervals and Planning. Frontier and EDNETICS shall
work cooperatively to jointly plan the implementation milestones.
Frontier and EDNETICS shall work cooperatively in meeting those
milestones and deliverables as determined during the joint planning
process. A preliminary schedule will be developed outlining major
milestones including anticipated delivery dates for the EDNETICS-
provided transmission equipment and for training.
Frontier will notify EDNETICS of issues or unanticipated delays, as
they become known. Frontier and EDNETICS shall conduct additional
joint planning meetings, as reasonably required, to ensure all known
issues are discussed and to address any that may impact the
implementation process. Planning meetings shall include
establishment of schedule, identification of tests to be performed, spare
plug-in/card requirements, test equipment, and determination of the
final implementation schedule.
The implementation interval is 76 Business Days for all standard
arrangement requests which were properly forecast six months prior to
the application dates subject to the provisions in this Attachment
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 161
governing forecasting and capacity. EDNETICS shall deliver the virtual
Collocation equipment to Frontier premises by Business Day forty (40).
Frontier and EDNETICS shall work cooperatively to schedule each site
on a priority-based order. Frontier and EDNETICS shall mutually
agree upon intervals for non-standard arrangements.

1.9.3 Transmission Failure. EDNETICS shall be responsible for monitoring
and reporting signal loss to Frontier. In the event of a transmission
failure, EDNETICS shall be responsible for initial trouble isolation as
set forth in Section 1.9.9, regardless of whether the fiber span is
equipped with optical regeneration equipment.

1.9.4 Accommodations. Upon receipt of a completed application and
associated virtual engineering fee, Frontier will conduct an application
review, engineering review and site survey at the requested premises.
Frontier will notify EDNETICS within eight (8) Business Days of the
results of this review and site survey.
The dedicated terminal equipment inside Frontier's premises shall be
provided by EDNETICS and leased to Frontier for the sum of one dollar
after successful installation and equipment testing by Frontier. The
term of the operating lease will run for the duration of the virtual
Collocation arrangement, at which time EDNETICS will remove the
equipment. EDNETICS will retain ownership of this equipment inside
the premises. Frontier will operate and maintain exclusive control over
this equipment inside the premises.
Where Frontier uses approved contractors for installation, maintenance
or repair of virtual Collocation arrangements, EDNETICS may hire the
same approved contractors directly for installation, maintenance or
repair of EDNETICS designated equipment.
Where Frontier does not use contractors, EDNETICS designated
equipment and EDNETICS provided facilities used in the provision of
virtual Collocation will be installed, maintained and repaired by Frontier.
Frontier will maintain and repair EDNETICS designated equipment
under the same timeframe and standards as its own equipment.
EDNETICS personnel are not allowed on Frontier premises to maintain
and repair on virtual Collocation equipment.
Frontier shall monitor local premises and environmental alarms to
support the equipment. Frontier will notify EDNETICS if a local office
alarm detects an equipment affecting condition.
Frontier will be responsible to pull the fiber into and through the cable
entrance facility (i.e., vault) to the virtual Collocation arrangement. All
installations into the cable entrance facility are performed by Frontier
personnel or its agents.
No virtual Collocation arrangement will be placed in service by Frontier
until necessary training has been completed (refer to Section 1.9.11).

1.9.5 Plug-ins and Spare Cards. When a plug-in/card is determined by
Frontier to be defective, Frontier will label the plug-in as defective and
place it in EDNETICS-dedicated plug-in/card storage cabinet.
EDNETICS will be notified as the plug-in/card is replaced.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _071 42010 162
Frontier will not provide spare plug-ins/cards under any circumstances,
nor is Frontier responsible for EDNETICS's failure to replace defective
plug-ins/cards. Frontier shall not be held responsible if EDNETICS
provides an inadequate supply of plug-ins/cards. Frontier will
segregate and secure EDNETICS-provided maintenance spares in
EDNETICS-provided spare plug-in/card cabinet.
EDNETICS shall provide the shop-wired piece of equipment fully pre-
equipped with working plug-ins/cards. In addition, EDNETICS shall
provide Frontier with maintenance spares for each plug-in/card type.
The number of maintenance spares shall be the manufacturer's
recommended amount, unless otherwise mutually agreed by Frontier
and EDNETICS, provided however, that in no event shall the number
of spare plug-ins/cards be less than two of each type. These spares
must be tested by EDNETICS prior to delivery to Frontier.
In addition to maintenance spares, EDNETICS will also provide any
unique tools or test equipment required to maintain, turn-up, or repair
the equipment.
Upon receiving notification from Frontier that-a plug-in/card has been
replaced, EDNETICS is then responsible to contact the Frontier
operations manager to arrange exchange and replacement of the plug-
in/card. Exchanged, pre-tested spares shall be provided within one
week of replacement of a defective plug-in/card.
Subject to premise space availability, EDNETICS shall have the option
of providing a stand-alone spare plug-in/card cabinet(s) or a rack-
mountable spare plug-in/card cabinet(s), to Frontier's specification, to
house the spare plug-ins/cards. The spare plug-in/card cabinet(s) and
minimum number of maintenance spares must be provided before the
virtual Collocation arrangement is completed and service is
established.
The amount of spare plug-ins/cards required will be based on the
manufacturer's recommended amount, unless otherwise mutually
agreed by Frontier and EDNETICS.
1.9.6 Safety and Technical Standards. Frontier reserves all rights to
terminate, modify or reconfigure the provision of service to EDNETICS
if, in the discretion of Frontier, provision of service to EDNETICS may
in any way interfere with or adversely affect Frontier's network or its
ability to service other CLECs.
All EDNETICS equipment to be installed in Frontier premises must fully
comply with the GR — 000063 — CORE, GR - 1089— CORE and
Frontier's premises environmental and transmission standards in effect
at the time of equipment installation. The equipment must also comply
with the requirements in NIP 74165, as they relate to fire, safety,
health, environmental, and network safeguards.
It is EDNETICS's responsibility to demonstrate and provide to Frontier
adequate documentation from an accredited source certifying
compliance. EDNETICS equipment must conform to the same specific
risk/safety/hazard standards which Frontier imposes on its own
premises equipment as defined in RNSA - NEB - 95 - 0003, Revision
10 or higher.
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a 071 42010 163
EDNETICS equipment is not required to meet the same performance
and reliability standards as Frontier imposes on its own equipment as
defined in RNSA - NEB - 95-0003, Revision 10 or higher.
EDNETICS may install equipment that has been deployed by Frontier
for five years or more with a proven safety record.
All EDNETICS's entrance facilities and splices must comply with TR -
TSY - 00020, TR - NWT —001058, BR - 760 - 200 - 030 and SR -
TAP —001421 as they relate to fire, safety, health, environmental
safeguards and interference with Frontier's services and facilities.
Such requirements include, but are not limited to the following: (1) The

the trouble ticket in the same manner it does for its own equipment,
including the dispatch of a technician to the equipment. The
technician will contact EDNETICS at the number provided and service
the equipment as instructed and directed by EDNETICS.

1.9.10 Placement. Removal and Monitorinci of Facilities and Equipment.
From manhole zero toward EDNETICS's location the fiber optic cable
remains EDNETICS's responsibility, with EDNETICS performing all
servicing and maintaining full ownership.
EDNETICS has the responsibility to remotely monitor and control their
circuits terminating in Frontier's premises, however, EDNETICS will not
enter Frontier's premises under virtual Collocation arrangements.
Performance and surveillance monitoring and trouble isolation shall be
provided by EDNETICS. A clear distinction must be made by
EDNETICS when submitting reports of troubles on Frontier
services/elements connected to the virtually collocated equipment and
reports of troubles with the collocated equipment. The former can be
handled using Frontier technicians and standard processes. The latter
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 164
will require specially trained technicians familiar with the collocated
equipment (refer to Section 1.9.11).
When EDNETICS isolates a trouble and determines that a Frontier
technician should be dispatched to the equipment location for a
servicing procedure, EDNETICS shall enter a trouble ticket with
Frontier. EDNETICS shall provide standard trouble information,
including the virtual Collocation arrangement's circuit identification,
nature of the activity request, and the name and telephone number of
EDNETICS's technician/contact.
Responses to all equipment servicing needs will be at EDNETICS's
direction. Maintenance will not be performed without EDNETICS's
direct instruction and authorization.
If EDNETICS is providing its own transport fiber for the virtual
Collocation arrangement, EDNETICS will arrange placement of the
fiber into manhole zero with enough length (as designated by Frontier)
to reach the virtual Collocation arrangement.
Maintenance activity (trouble in the equipment) is to be tested, isolated
and evaluated by EDNETICS. Frontier technicians will perform the
instructed activities on the equipment as specifically directed by
EDNETICS.
EDNETICS shall provide, own, and operate the terminal equipment at
their site outside Frontier's premises.

1.9.11 Use of Non-Standard EpuiDment. When EDNETICS requests a virtual
Collocation arrangement consisting of equipment which Frontier does
not use in its network nor has deployed in that particular premise to
provide service to itself or another CLEC, EDNETICS shall be
responsible for training 50%, but no fewer than five, of Frontier
technicians in the administrative work unit responsible for servicing the
equipment. Any special tools or electronic test sets that Frontier does
not have at the premises involved must be provided by EDNETICS
with adequate manufacturer's training.
EDNETICS is responsible to arrange and pay all costs (including but
not limited to transportation and lodging for Frontier technicians) to
have Frontier technicians professionally trained by appropriate trainers
certified on the specific equipment to be used to provide the virtual
Collocation arrangement to EDNETICS. EDNETICS shall also pay for
Frontier technicians' time subject to rates contained in the Pricing
Attachment. When travel is required, travel expenses associated with
training will be charged to EDNETICS based on ticket stubs and/or
receipts. This includes paying for mileage according to the IRS rates
for personal car mileage or airfare, as appropriate EDNETICS also has
the option of arranging and paying for all travel expenses for Frontier
technicians directly.
In the event of an equipment upgrade, EDNETICS must provide
secondary training subject to the provisions contained herein.

1.9.12 Additions and Rearrangements. Once EDNETICS has established a
virtual Collocation arrangement, changes to the existing configuration,
(including but not limited to, growing, upgrading, and/or reconfiguring
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 165
the current equipment) are considered rearrangements to that virtual
Collocation arrangement. If EDNETICS decides to rearrange an
existing virtual Collocation arrangement, EDNETICS must submit a
new application outlining the details of the rearrangement along with a
virtual engineering/major augment fee.

1.9.13 Application of Rates and Charges.
Billing. Frontier will apply charges (e.g., non-recurring and recurring
rates for entry fiber, power, etc.) and commence billing for the virtual
Collocation arrangement upon completion of the installation, when it

parameters without the prior written approval of Frontier.

1.10.6 Space and Facilities. Monthly rates are applicable to EDNETICS for
the space (generally on the premises roof) associated with Frontier or
other CLEC owned antenna support structures. The rate is calculated
using the rate per square foot, multiplied by the square footage of the
footprint, which resultant is multiplied by EDNETICS's relative capacity
ratio (RCR), (i.e., the sum of the RCRs of each of the EDNETICS's
antennas).
Square footage for the footprint will be based on the length times width
of the entire footprint formed on the horizontal plane (generally the roof
top) by the antenna(s), tower(s), mount(s), guy wires and/or support
structures used by EDNETICS. For a non-rectangular footprint, the
length will be measured at the longest part of the footprint and the
width will be the widest part of the footprint;
The owner of the support structure may charge EDNETICS proposing
to use the structure, on a one-time basis, for the following costs and/or
values. Any incremental costs associated with installing the
EDNETICS's antenna, including but not limited to, the costs of
engineering studies, roof penetrations, structural attachments, support
structure modification or reinforcement, zoning and building permits. A
portion of the net book value of the support structure is based on the
RCR of EDNETICS's proposed antenna(s) to be mounted on the
structure. EDNETICS's RCR represents the percent of the total
capacity of the support structure used by EDNETICS's antenna(s) on
the structure. Spare capacity shall be deemed to be that of the owner
of the structure. RCRs shall be expressed as a two place decimal
number, rounded to the nearest whole percent. The sum of all users'
RCRs and the owner's RCA shall at all times equal 1.00. It shall be the
responsibility of the owner of the structure to provide EDNETICS the
net book value of the structure at the time of the proposed use. Upon
EDNETICS ID Comp v3.3a _07142010 170
request, the owner shall also provide the proposed user accounting
records or other documentation supporting the net book value.
The owner of the structure may not assess EDNETICS any charges in
addition to the one-time charge described above, except that the owner
of the structure may assess EDNETICS a proportionate share of
inspection costs and Frontier may assess EDNETICS monthly
recurring charges for use of its roof space. At the time EDNETICS
proposes to attach additional antennas to an existing support structure,
it shall be the responsibility of EDNETICS to obtain, at its cost and
expense, an engineering analysis by a registered structural engineer to
determine the relative capacity ratio of all antennas on the structure,
including the proposed antennas.
When a EDNETICS is the owner of the structure, the proposed user
shall pay EDNETICS directly the one-time charge as set forth above.
When Frontier is the owner of the support structure, it shall determine
the charge on an individual case basis. In the event that EDNETICS
as owner of the support structure fails to comply with these provisions,
at Frontier's option, ownership of the support structure shall transfer to
Frontier.
Costs incurred by Frontier to conduct a review for wind or ice loadings
(etc.) for antennas over 18 inches in diameter, or for any multiple
antenna installation, and any changes which may be required thereto in
order to insure that such loadings meet generally accepted engineering
criteria for radio tower structures, will be billed to EDNETICS.

1.10.7 Emergency Power and/or Environmental Support. In the event special
work must be done by Frontier to provide emergency power or
environmental support to the transmitter/receiver equipment or
antenna, EDNETICS will be billed on a time and materials basis for the
costs incurred.

1.10.8 Escorting. When EDNETICS personnel are escorted by a qualified
Frontier employee for access to the roof space, transmitter/receiver
space, or cable risers and racking for maintenance, the miscellaneous
labor charges as set forth in the Pricing Attachment will apply.
