If a Payment Due Date falls on a Saturday or on a holiday which is observed on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, the payment date shall be the last non~holiday day preceding such Saturday or holiday. For invoices distributed electronically, the date of invoice date is the same as if the invoice were biled on paper, not the date the electronic delivery occurs. If either Party fails to make payment on or before the Payment Due Date, the other Party may invoke all available rights and remedies. 5.4.2 One Party may discontinue processing orders for the failure of the other Party to make full payment for the services, less any good faith disputed amount as provided for in Section 5.4.4 of this Agreement, for the services provided under this Agreement within thirty (30) Days following the payment due date provided the Billng Party has notified the other Part in writing at least ten (10) business days prior to discontinuing the processing of orders for services. If the Billng Party does not refuse to accept additional orders for the services on the date specified in the ten (10) business days' notice, and the other Party's non-compliance continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude the Biling Party's right to refuse to accept additional orders for the services from the non-complying Party without further notice. For order processing to resume, the biled Party wil be required to make full payment of all charges for the services not disputed in good faith under this Agreement. Additionally, the Billng Party may require a deposit (or additional deposit) from the biled Party, pursuant to this section.

In case of such disconnection, all applicable undisputed charges, including termination charges, shall become due. If the Billing Part does not disconnect the biled Party's service(s) on the date specified in the ten (10) business days notice, and the biled Party's noncompliance continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude the Billng Party's right to disconnect services of the non-complying Party without further notice. For reconnection of the services to occur, the billed Party will be required to make full payment of all past and current undisputed charges under this Agreement for the services. Additionally, the Billing Part will request a deposit (or recalculate the deposit) as specified in Section 5.4.5 and 5.4.7 from the biled Party, pursuant to this Section.

If the disputed charges have been withheld and the dispute is resolved in favor of the Biling Part, the withholding Part shall pay the disputed amount and applicable late payment charges no later than the next Bil Date following the resolution. If the disputed charges have been withheld and the dispute is resolved in favor of the disputing Party, the Billng Part shall credit the bill of the disputing Part for the amount of the disputed charges and any late payment charges that have been assessed no later than the second Bil Date after the resolution of the dispute. If a Part pays the disputed charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of the Billing Party, no further action is required. 5.4.4.2 If a Part pays the disputed charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of the Billng Party, no further action is required. If a Party pays the charges disputed at the time of payment or at any time thereafter pursuant to Section 5.4.4.3, and the dispute is resolved in favor of the disputing Party, the Billing Party wil adjust the Biling, usually within two (2) Billing cycles, after the resolution of the dispute, as follows: (1) The Billng Party wil credit the Biled Party's bil for the disputed amount and any associated interest; or (2) If the disputed amount is greater than the bil to be credited, pay the remaining amount to the Biled Party.. (3) The interest calculated on the disputed amounts will be the same rate as latepayment charges. In no event, however, will any late payment charges be assessed on any previously assessed late payment charges. 5.4.4.3 If the Billed Party fails to dispute a rate or charge within sixty (60) Days following the invoice date on which the rate or charge appeared, adjustment will be made on a going-forward basis only, beginning with the date of the dispute. 5.45 In the event of a material adverse change in CLEC's financial condition subsequent to the Effective Date of this Agreement, CenturyLink may request a security deposit. A "material adverse change in financial condition" means CLEC is a new CLEC with no established credit history, or is a CLEC that has not established satisfactory credit with CenturyLink, or the Party is repeatedly delinquent in making its payments, or is being reconnected after a disconnection of Service or discontinuance of the processing of orders by CenturyLink due to a previous failure to pay undisputed charges in a timely manner. CenturyLink may require a deposit to be held as security for the payment of charges before the orders from CLEC will be provisioned and completed or before reconnection of Service. "Repeatedly delinquent" means any payment of a material amount of total monthly Billing under the Agreement received after the Payment Due Date, three (3) or more times during the last twelve (12) month period. The deposit may not exceed the estimated total monthly charges for a two (2) month period based upon recent Billng. The deposit may be adjusted by CLEC's actual monthly average charges, payment history under this Agreement, or other relevant factors, but in no event will the security deposit exceed five milion dollars ($5,000,000.00).

Upon a material change in financial standing, including factors referenced in Section 5.4.5 above, CLEC may request and the CenturyLink wil consider a recalculation of the deposit. The fact that a deposit has been made does not relieve CLEC from any requirements of this Agreement. 5.4.7 CenturyLink may review CLEC's credit standing and modify the amount of deposit required but in no event wil the maximum amount exceed the amount stated in 5.4.5 or another amount, if approved by the Commission. 5.4.8 The late payment charge for amounts that are biled under this Agreement shall be in accordance with Commission requirements. 5.4.9 CLEC shall be responsible for notifying its End User Customers of any pending disconnection of a service by CLEC, if necessary, to allow those End User Customers to make other arrangements for such services. 5.4.10 CLEC must not remit payment for the Services with funds obtained through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (or ARRA) or other similar stimulus grants or loans that would obligate CenturyLink to provide certain information or perform certain functions unless those functions and obligations are specifically agreed to by the parties in this Agreement or in an amendment to this Agreement. 5.5 Taxes 5.5.1 Any federal, state, or local sales, use, excise, gross receipts, transaction or similar taxes, fees or surcharges resulting from the performance of this Agreement shall be borne by the Party upon which the obligation for payment is imposed under Applicable Law, even if the obligation to collect and remit such taxes is placed upon the other Part.

CLEC may purchase multiple common blocks within a single Central Offce switching system when CLEC requires different dialing plans, feature access arrangements and station line or system restrictions within a single system operation. CLEC with multiple common blocks within the same Central Office Switch may have network access register and private facility trunk groups aggregated across multiple common blocks. Centrex system based optional features (i.e., Automatic Route Selection) may not be aggregated across multiple common blocks. A Centrex system must provide station lines to at least one (1) location and may provide station lines to multiple locations. 6.2.2.9.2 Centrex station lines are provisioned and charges are calculated based on serving CLEC's location. A location is defined as the site where CenturyLink facilities (cable plant from the serving Central Office Switch) meet CLEC facilities (inside wire). In a multi-tenant building, CenturyLink may bring facilities directly to a single Point of Interconnection with CLEC facilities, typically in a basement equipment room, which would be considered a single location for this multi-tenant building. Should CenturyLink bring service to multiple floors or offices within a multi-tenant building each floor or office with a separate CLEC facilities termination point is considered a location. Where CLEC has multiple buildings within contiguous property (campus), such buildings will be provisioned and biled as a single location. Contiguous property is defined as property owned or leased by CLEC and not separated by public thoroughfare, river or railroad rights-of-way. Property will be considered contiguous when connected via connecting passageways or conduit acceptable to CenturyLink. for its facilities. Where CLEC has Centrex station lines from multiple Central Offce switching systems, within the same CenturyLink Wire Center, and provisioned to the same location, CLEC wil not be charged for service or provisioned as if service was originating from a single Centrex system. For example, station lines may only be aggregated from a single CLEC Centrex system to a single CLEC serving location for rating purposes. CLEC may not specify a Central Office as CLEC's location for the termination of Centrex station lines. . 6.2.2.10 Private line service used for Special Access is available for resale but not at a discount. 6.2.2.11 Intentionally Left Blank. 6.2.2.12 Telecommunications Services provided directly to CLEC for its own use and not resold to End User Customers must be identified by CLEC as such, and CLEC will pay CenturyLink retail prices for such services. 6.2.3 CenturyLink shall provide to CLEC Telecommunications Services for resale that are at least equal in quality and in substantially the same time and manner that CenturyLink provides these services to itself, its subsidiaries, its Affiliates, other Resellers, and CenturyLink's retail End User Customers.

This Section is not intended to alter either Part's obligation under Section 251(a) of the Act. 7.2.2.1.3 When either Part utilizes the other Party's Tandem Switch for the exchange of local traffic, where there is a DS1's worth of traffc (512 CCS) between the originating Party's End Offce Switch delivered to the other Party's Tandem Switch for delivery to one (1) of the other Party's End Office Switches, the originating Party will order a direct trunk group to the other Parts End Offce Switch. To the extent that CLEC has established a Collocation arrangement at a CenturyLink End Office Switch location, and has available capacity, CLEC may, at its sole option, provide two-way direct trunk facilities from that End Offce Switch to CLEC's Switch. 7.2.2.1.4 LIS ordered to a Tandem Switch will be provided as direct trunked transport between the Serving Wire Center of CLEC's POI and the Tandem Switch. Tandem transmission rates, as specified in Exhibit A of this Agreement, will apply to the transport provided from the Tandem Switch to CenturyLink's End Office Switch. 7.2.2.1.5 If direct trunked transport is greater than fifty (50) miles in length, and existing facilities are not available in either Party's network, and the Parties have not been able to resolve the issue through Mid-Span Meet arrangements, and the Parties cannot agree as to which Party will provide the facilty, the Parties may bring the matter before the Commission for resolution on an Individual Case Basis. . 7.2.2.1.6 Regardless of the number of Location Routing Numbers (LRNs) used by CLEC in a LATA, CenturyLink wil route traffic destined for CLEC's End User Customers via direct trunking where direct trunking has been established. In the event that direct trunking has not been established, such traffic shall be routed via a CenturyLink Tandem Switch. 7.2.2.2 IntraLATA LEC Toll Traffic 7.2.2.2.1 One-way or two-way trunk groups may be established. However, if either Party elects to provision its own one-way trunks for delivery of IntraLATA LEC Toll traffic to be terminated on the other Party's network, the ordering Party will provision its own one-way trunks. The Party ordering one-way trunks will choose the POI location for such one-way trunks. IntraLATA LEC Toll traffc shall be delivered to CenturyLink at the Access Tandem Switch or via separate trunks to CenturyLink's End Offce Switch(es), as designated by CLEC. 7.2.2.3 Transit Traffic 7.2.2.3.1 CenturyLink will accept traffc originated by CLEC's network .

CenturyLink will also terminate traffc from these other Telecommunications Carriers' network and/or its end users to CLEC's network and/or its end users. For purposes of the Agreement, transit traffic does not include traffic carried by Interexchange Carriers. That traffic is defined as Jointly Provided Switched Access. 7.2.2.3.2 The Parties involved in transporting transit traffic wil deliver calls to each involved network with CCS/SS7 protocol and the appropriate ISUPITCAP messages to facilitate fullinteroperability and Billng functions. 7.2.2.3.3 The originating company is responsible for payment of appropriate rates to the transit company and to the terminating company. The Parties agree to enter into traffic exchange agreements with third part Telecommunications Carriers prior to delivering traffic to be transited to third party Telecommunications Carriers. In the event one Part originates traffic that transits the second Party's network to reach a third party Telecommunications Carrier with whom the originating Party does not have a traffic exchange agreement, then the originating Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the second Party against any and all charges levied by such third part Telecommunications Carrier, including any termination charges related to such traffic and any attorneys fees and expenses. In the case of IntraLATA LEC Toll traffic where CenturyLink is the designated IntraLATA Toll provider for existing LECs, Century Link will be responsible for payment of appropriate usage rates. 7.2.2.3.4 When CenturyLink receives an unqueried call from CLEC to a telephone number that has been ported to another local services provider, the transit rate will apply in addition to any query rates. 7.2.2.3.5 In the case of a transit call that terminates in the Local Calling Area but in a different state than the call originated, and the CLEC does not have an agreement with CenturyLink in the state where the transit call terminated, CLEC must execute an agreement for that state if it is a state served by CenturyLink. In the absence of a second agreement, the transit rate in Exhibit A of this Agreement will be biled to the CLEC. 7.2.2.4 Jointly Provided Switched Access. The Parties will use industry standards developed and routing based on the LERG to handle the Provisioning and Biling of Jointly Provided Switched Access (MECAB, MECOD, and the Parties' FCC and state access Tariffs). Each Party wil bil the IXC the appropriate portion of its Switched Access rates. CenturyLink will also provide the one-time notification to CLEC of the biling name, biling address and Carrier identification codes of the IXCs subtending any Access Tandem Switches to which CLEC directly connects.

Remote Premises with digital loop carrier and pair gain equipment wil be provided on the web site in the ICONN database. (ICONN is available through the CenturyLink web site located athttp://ww.centurylink.com/iconn.) If CLEC is unable to determine the information it seeks regarding the Remote Premises after using such database tools, CenturyLink will provide CLEC with a report that contains the information. The Parties agree that a charge may apply to such report, based on time and material, unless the database information is inaccurate or unusable for the Remote Premises then no charge would apply. CenturyLink wil provide CLEC access to relevant plats, maps, engineering records and other data in accordance with Section 10.8.2.4. 8.2.1.10 Collocation is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests for Collocation may be denied due to the legitimate lack of sufficient space in a CenturyLink Premises for placement of CLEC's equipment. If CenturyLink determines that the amount of space requested by CLEC for Caged Physical Collocation is not available, but a lesser amount of space is available, that lesser amount of space wil be offered to CLEC for Caged Physical Collocation. Alternatively, CLEC wil be offered Cageless Physical Collocation (single frame bay increments), or Virtual Collocation as an alternative to Caged Physical Collocation. In the event the original Collocation request is not available due to lack of suffcient space, and CLEC did not specify an alternative form of Collocation on the original order form, CLEC wil be required to submit a new order for CLEC's preferred alternative Collocation arrangement. If CLEC identifies alternate choices for Collocation on its' original Collocation request, Century Link wil determine the feasibility of the next preferred option in the event CLEC's first choice is not available. To the extent possible, CenturyLink shall make contiguous space available to CLEC when it seeks to expand its existing Collocation space. Where adjoining space is not available, CenturyLink will engineer a route for CLEC to provide facilities between the non-adjoining CLEC Collocation spaces as part of the Collocation order.

A separate queue will be maintained for each Premises. When space becomes available in a Premises in which a queue has developed, CenturyLink will inform CLECs in the queue that space for Collocation has become available. If there is insuffcient space to accommodate all of the CLECs in queue, CenturyLink shall notify CLECs of the availability of space in accordance with the CLEC's position in the queue. CLEC must respond within ten (10) Days of receipt of notification from CenturyLink with a new Collocation Application. If CLEC does not provide a Collocation Application within ten (10) Days of receipt of notification, or if CLEC responds that it no longer requires the Collocation space, CLEC shall be removed from the queue and the available space shall be offered to the next CLEC in the queue. If the space made available to CLEC in the queue is not sufficient to meet such CLEC's needs, such CLEC may deny the space that .

CLEC shall have access to the designated route and construct such connection, using copper, coax, optical fiber facilities, or any other Technically Feasible method utilzing a vendor of CLEC's own choosing. CLEC may place its own fiber, coax, copper cable, or any other Technically Feasible connecting facilities outside of the actual physical Collocation space, subject only to reasonable NEBS Level 1 safety limitations using the route specified by CenturyLink. CLEC may perform such Interconnections at the ICDF, if desired. CLEC may interconnect its network as described herein to any other collocating Carrier, to any collocated Affliate of CLEC, to any End User Customets premises, and may interconnect CLEC's own collocated space and/or equipment (e.g., CLEC's Physical Collocation and CLEC's Virtual Collocation on the same Premises). CLEC-to-CLEC Connections shall be ordered either as part of a Collocation Application under Section 8.4, or separately from a Colloction Application in accordance with Section 8.4.7. CLEC-to-CLEC Cross Connections at an ICDF are available, as follows: 8.2.1.23.1 CLEC-to-CLEC Cross Connections at the ICDF. 8.2.1.23.1.1 CLEC-to-CLEC Cross Connection (COCC-X) is defined as CLEC's capability to order a Cross Connection from its Collocation in a CenturyLink Premises to its non-adjacent Collocation space or to another CLEC's Collocation within the same CenturyLink Premises at the ICDF. 8.2.1.23.1.2 CenturyLink will provide the capability to combine these separate Collocations through an Interconnection Distribution Frame (ICDF). This is accomplished by the use of CLEC's Connecting Facility Assignment (CFA) terminations residing at an ICDF. Also, ICDF Cross Connections must terminate on the same ICDF at the same service rate leveL. 8.2.1.23.1.3 If CLEC has its own dedicated ICDF, CLEC is responsible for ordering tie cables to the common ICDF frame/bay where the other CLEC resides. These tie cables would be ordered through the existing Collocation Application form. 8.2.1.23.1.4 CLEC is responsible for the end-to-end service design that uses ICDF Cross Connection to ensure that the resulting service meets its End User Customets needs. This is accomplished by CLEC using the Design Layout Record (DLR) for the service connection. 8.2.1.23.1.5 If two (2) CLECs are involved, one (1) CLEC acts as the "ordering" CLEC. The ordering CLEC identifies both connection CFAs on the ASR. CLEC requests service order activity by using the standard ASR forms. These forms are agreed upon nationally at the OBF (Ordering and Billng Forum). Refer to the DMP (Document Management Platform)/Carrier/Carrier Centersl'A"I"ASOG" for copies of all forms including definitions of the fields. CLEC is responsible for obtaining these forms.

The direct connection to CenturyLink's network is provided to CLEC through a direct connection to CenturyLink's existing Cross Connection network. CLEC and CenturyLink wil share the same distributing frames for similar tyes and speeds of equipment, where Technically Feasible and space permitting. 8.2.1.25 CLEC terminations wil be placed on the appropriate CenturyLink Cross Connection frames using standard engineering principles. CLEC terminations wil share frame space with CenturyLink terminations on CenturyLink frames without a requirement for an intermediate device. 8.2.1.26 If CLEC disagrees with the selection of the CenturyLink Cross Connection frame, CLEC may request a tour of the CenturyLink Premises to determine if Cross Connection frame alternatives exist, and may request a connection to an alternative frame or an alternative arrangement, such as direct connections from CLEC's Collocation space to the MDF or COSMICTM frame. 8.2.1.27 Conversions of the various Collocation arrangements (e.g., Virtual to Physical) wil be considered on an Individual Case Basis. CLEC must pay all associated conversion charges. 8.2.1.28 CenturyLink shall permit CLEC to construct or subcontract the construction and build-out of Physical Collocation arrangements with contractors approved by CenturyLink. Such CLEC construction of Physical Collocation arrangements are for within CLEC's physical space including the cage, if appropriate, frames, and cable racking. Also, CLEC may install the tie cables, blocks, and terminations on the ICDF or CLEC-to-CLEC connections, outside CLEC's physical space and according to CenturyLink's design. CenturyLink approval of CLEC contractors involves security access arrangements and shall not be unreasonably withheld. CLEC is not required to use CenturyLink or CenturyLink contracted personnel for the engineering and installation of CLEC's collocated equipment. Approval by CenturyLink of CLEC's employees, vendors or subcontractors shall be based on the same criteria that CenturyLink uses in approving contractors for its own purposes. . 8.2.1.29 CenturyLink wil provide CLEC with written notification at least five (5) business days before any scheduled non-emergency AC or DC power work in the collocated facility that may cause a power disruption to CLEC equipment located in the CenturyLink facility. This does not include notification of routine power testing or power installation work not expected to cause a power disruption. CenturyLink wil use diligent efforts to notify CLEC by the Abnormal Condition Report (ACR) of: (a) general power outages as soon as CenturyLink becomes aware that an outage is to take place or has occurred and (b) any emergency power disruption that would impact CLEC equipment no later than thirty (30) minutes after such activity commences. Finally, CenturyLink shall immediately notify CLEC by ACR if an alarm condition eXÎsts with respect to the monitoring of power that poses a material risk to the continued operation of CLEC equipment..

DocuSign Envelope ID: DFF5804C-459-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 Section 8 Collocation 8.2.1.30 Optional DC Power Measurement. CLEC wil order DC power to meet its needs with a twenty (20) amperes (amp) per feed minimum. If CLEC orders more than sixt (60) amps, CenturyLink typically terminates such feed on a power board. If CLEC orders sixty (60) amps or less, the power feed typically terminates at a battery distribution fuse board (BDFB). No power measurements are performed at a BDFB. Therefore, for sixty (60) amps or less, the power usage rate is based on CLEC ordered amps. For power feeds of greater than sixty (60) amps terminated at the power board, CenturyLink will measure usage on a semi-annual basis if CLEC orders Optional DC Power Measurement. CenturyLink wil also take a reading within thirty (30) Days of a written request by CLEC. CenturyLink wil perform a maximum of four (4) readings per year for a particular Collocation site. Until the routine semi-annual reading or until such time that CenturyLink makes a reading based on a written request, Century Link will bil CLEC based on the amount of power ordered. Based on the reading, CenturyLink wil adjust the new monthly usage rate to CLEC's actual usage rate on a going forward basis. 8.2.1.31 Joint Testing. Joint Testing allows CLEC to request CenturyLink to participate in Joint Testing of CLEC terminations at the Interconnection Distribution Frame (ICDF). CLEC may request Joint Testing on the Collocation Application form or by sending a separate Joint Testing Application form. Collocation and Joint Testing Application forms are available in the PCA T. CLEC must specify on its application the terminations to be tested and the type of tests to be performed with CenturyLink. CLEC must provide contact information on the application for CenturyLink to arrange the Joint Testing date and time. Once CLEC has completed its installation work and is ready for testing, CLEC formally requests Joint Testing via e-mail toRFSMET~centurylink.com. Upon receipt of request CenturyLink and CLEC wil promptly meet and agree upon a date to perform Joint Testing, which shall take place no later than thirty (30) Days after the request. 8.2.1.31.1 CenturyLink will only test between CLEC Collocation and the ICDF once CLEC equipment is in place. Joint Testing is only available for the terminations identified on the Collocation Application or Joint Testing Application. If CLEC wants additional terminations tested that are not identified on its initial application, CLEC will need to complete a new Joint Testing Application. 8.2.1.31.2 Each Party wil provide appropriate test equipment for its technicians. CenturyLink wil assist CLEC in conducting continuity tests on terminations at the ICDF. CenturyLink will not operate CLEC test equipment. If errors are found during the Joint Testing, CenturyLink wil only repair CenturyLink network faults. CLEC is responsible for replacement or repair of CLEC-provided facilities. 8.2.1.31.3 If during the scheduled Joint Testing, the CenturyLink-caused error rate is more than two percent (2%) on the terminations identified for testing, CenturyLink will not charge for this Joint Testing. If there are less than two percent (2%) errors found or if the errors found are facilty errors on CLEC provided facilities, CenturyLink wil charge for the Joint Testing. One (1) pair is counted as two (2) terminations and errors are counted on a one (1) termination basis. If CLEC requests that the charges be waived because CenturyLink errors are found during Joint Testing, CenturyLink may access CLEC's Collocation space to identify if the facility cabling sequence is correct, per applicable February 15, 20121kjc/Optix Media/lDI Agreement Number CDS-120215-0001 CenturyUnk Fourteen State Negotiations Template, v.09.27.11 94 DocuSign Envelope ID: DFF5804C-4659-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 Section 8 Collocation .standards. CLEC may review CenturyLink facility cabling at the ICDF to verify the cable sequence, per applicable standards. 8.2.1.32 DC Power Reduction, Restoration, and Deactivation. DC Power Reduction With Reservation allows CLEC to resere a fuse or breaker position on the power board or battery distribution fuse board (BDFB) when reducing a secondary power feed to zero. CLEC will pay a monthly power maintenance charge to retain the existing power cabling and fuse position for future power augment requests or until such time as CLEC notifies CenturyLink it wishes to discontinue the option. DC Power Reduction Without Reservation allows CLEC to reduce the ordered amps on a primary or secondary feed to a minimum of twenty (20) amps. DC Power Off allows CLEC to deactivate their secondary power feed and remove it from the power distribution point (e.g., BDFB or power board). A primary power feed with a minimum of 20 Amps, must be maintained in each collocation at all times, with the exception of Adjacent Collocation, Common Area Splitter Collocation, Facility Connected Collocation, and ICDF Collocation. Adjacent Collocation, Common Area Splitter Collocation, Facilty Connected Collocation, and ICDF Collocation do not have a minimum DC power requirement. 8.2.1.32.1 Applications for DC Power Reduction/Restoration/Deactivation may be submitted only for Collocation sites that have been completed and accepted by CLEC, otherwise CLEC should follow standard change or augment procedures including the applicable rates for changes or augments. On the Collocation Application, CLEC should indicate that it is a request for DC Power Reduction/Restoration/Deactivation and identify the specific power feeds. CenturyLink wil notify CLEC of any deficiencies in the Collocation Application, within ten (10) Days of receipt. A quotation for the DC Power Reduction/Restoration/Deactivation wil be provided to CLEC within twenty-five (25) Days. The quoted nonrecurring charges will be honored for thirty (30) Daysfrom the quotation. CLEC payment of all quoted nonrecurring charges constitutes acceptance and CenturyLink will then perform the work. If CLEC accepts the quotation within seven (7) Days, CenturyLink shall complete the DC Power Reduction within ninety (90) Days of receipt of the Collocation Application. If CLEC accepts the quotation after seven (7) Days, CenturyLink shall complete the DC Power Reduction within ninety (90) Days of receipt of CLEC's acceptance. . 8.2.1.32.2 CLEC assumes all responsibility for outages or impacts to CLEC services and equipment due to the reduction in DC power. Restoration of the DC power is contingent upon the desired power and fuse availability. 8.2.1.32.3 Before submitting a Collocation Application requesting DC Power Reduction/Restoration/Deactivation, CLEC's financial obligations for the Collocation site must be current, with the exception of formally disputed charges. Biling to CLEC wil be revised to reflect the reduced/restored/eliminated DC power upon receipt of payment of the quoted charges effective back to the date of acceptance by CenturyLink of the Collocation Application. 8.2.1.32.4 If a shortage of fuse positions is imminent, CenturyLink will notify CLEC of the need to exercise its option to reuse the power feed and fuse, or relinquish the fuse position for use by another CLEC or CenturyLink. Upon receipt of such notification, CLEC must request restoration of the secondary .

Collocation Available Inventory provides CLEC with information about the availability of (a) returned Collocation sites and elements under CenturyLink's control ("CenturyLink Postings") and (b) CLEC controlled sites that may be posted are available for a Transfer of Responsibilty ("CLEC Postings"). CenturyLink and CLECs may post available Collocation sites onCenturyLink's wholesale web site at: http://ww.centurvlink.com/wholesale/collocationspace.html. CLEC must either have an approved Interconnection Agreement or is currently negotiating with CenturyLink to have an interim Interconnection Agreement with the specific type of Collocation to be obtained. If the Interconnection Agreement is pending approval, CLEC must execute an early ordering letter. CenturyLink reserves the right to remove CenturyLink Postings to satisfy CLEC Collocation Applications or CenturyLink space requirements. CenturyLink shall not use the CenturyLink Postings as a basis to claim exhaust in any CenturyLink Premises. 8.2.1.33.1 CLEC obtaining a Collocation site from CenturyLink Postings must not have any overdue financial obligations owed to CenturyLink .for Collocation, with the exception of formally disputed charges. CLEC wil be required to pay a minimum of six (6) months of space construction and floor space lease recurring charges if CLEC terminates its lease prior to six (6) months occupancy. 8.2.1.33.2 CenturyLink Postings. Collocation sites available in CenturyLink Postings may be partially or fully completed before being returned to CenturyLink inventory. Both Caged Physical Collocation and Cageless Physical Collocation sites will be offered in the CenturyLink Postings and wil be available under the terms and conditions set forth in the Interconnection Agreement of the CLEC acquiring the Collocation space. CLEC may request to add to or complete the Collocation site to its specifications. CLEC may also request that CenturyLink reduce the cable terminations and CLEC wil be charged for the removal of such cable terminations. 8.2.1.33.3 All services that were previously connected to the Collocation (e.g., UNEs, CLEC to CLEC, administrative lines, Finished Services, and Line Splittng) wil be disconnected before the site is listed in the CenturyLink Postings.

Based on this analysis, CenturyLink wil take corrective measure to fix persistent and recurrent problems, reporting to CLEC on the analysis and the process changes that are instituted implemented to fix the problems. 9.2.5.5 CenturyLink shall allow access to the NID for testing purposes where access at the Demarcation Point is not adequate to allow testing sufficient to isolate troubles; in the event that CenturyUnk chooses not to allow such access, it shall waive any trouble isolation charges that may otherwise be applicable. 9.2.6 Spectrum Management . 9.2.6.1 CenturyLink wil provide 2/4 Wire non-loaded Loops, ISDN-capable Loops, xDSL-I-capable Loops, DS1-capable Loops, and DS3-capable Loops (collectively referred to in this Section 9.2.6 as "xDSL Loops") in a non-discriminatory manner to permit CLEC to provide Advanced Services to its End User Customers. Such Loops are defined herein and are in compliance with FCC requirements and guidelines recommended by the Network Reliability and Interoperabilty Council (NRIC) to the FCC, such as guidelines set forth in T1-417. 9.2.6.2 When ordering xDSL Loops, CLEC will provide CenturyLink with appropriate information using NC/NCI codes to describe the Power Spectral Density Mask (PSD) for the type of technology CLEC wil deploy. CLEC also agrees to notify CenturyLink of any change in Advanced Services technology that results in a change in spectrum management class on the xDSL Loop. CenturyLink agrees CLEC need not provide the speed or power at which the newly deployed or changed technology wil operate if the technology fits within a generic PSD mask. 9.2.6.2.1 CLEC information provided to CenturyLink pursuant to Section 9.2.6.2 shall be deemed Confidential Information and CenturyLink may not distribute, disclose or reveal, in any form, this material other than as allowed and described in subsections of 9.2.6.2..

In no case shall the aforementioned personnel who have access to such Confidential Information be involved in CenturyLink's retail marketing, sales or strategic planning. 9.2.6.3 If CLEC wishes to deploy new technology not yet designated with a PSD mask, CenturyLink and CLEC agree to work cooperatively to determine Spectrum Compatibility. CenturyLink and CLEC agree, as defined by the FCC, that technology is presumed acceptable for deployment when it complies with existing industry standards, is approved by a standards body or by the FCC or Commission, of if technology has been deployed elsewhere without a "significant degradation of service". 9.2.6.4 CenturyLink recognizes that the analog T1 service traditionally used within its network is a "known Disturber" as designated by the FCC. CenturyLink wil place such Tis, by whomever employed, within binder groups in a manner that minimizes interference. Where such placement is insufficient to eliminate interference that disrupts other services being provided, Century Link shall, whenever it is Technically Feasible, replace its Tis with a technology that will eliminate undue interference problems. CenturyLink also agrees that any future "known Disturbet' defined by the FCC or the Commission wil be managed as required by FCC rules. 9.2.6.5 If either CenturyLink or CLEC claims a service is significantly degrading the performance of other Advanced Services or traditional voice band services, then that Party must notify the causing Carrier and allow the causing Carrier a reasonable opportunity to correct the problem. Upon notification, the causing Carrier shall promptly take action to bring its facilities/technology into compliance with industry standards. Upon request, within forty-eight (48) hours, CenturyLink wil provide CLEC with binder group information including cable, pair, Carrier and PSD class to allow CLEC to notify the causing Carrier. 9.2.6.6 If CLEC is unable to isolate trouble to a specific pair within the binder group, CenturyLink, upon receipt of a trouble resolution request, will perform a main frame pair by pair analysis and provide results to CLEC within five (5) business days. 9.2.6.7 Intentionally Left Blank. 9.2.6.8 CenturyLink wil not have the authority to unilaterally resolve any dispute over spectral interference among Carriers. Century Link shall not disconnect Carrier services to resolve a spectral interference dispute, except when voluntarily undertaken by the interfering Carrier or CenturyLink is ordered to do so by the Commission or other authorized dispute resolution body. CLEC may submit any claims for resolution under Section 5.18 of this Agreement. 9.2.6.9 Where CLEC demonstrates to CenturyLink that it has deployed Central Office based DSL services serving a reasonably defined area, it shall be entitled to require CenturyLink to take appropriate measures to mitigate the demonstrable adverse effects on such service that arise from CenturyLink's use of repeaters or remotely deployed DSL service in that area. It shall be presumed that the costs of such mitigation will not be chargeable to any CLEC or to any other Customer; however, CenturyLink February 15, 20121kjc/Optix Media/lDI Agreement Number CDS-120215-0001 CenturyUnk Fourteen State Negotiations Template, v.09.27.11 172 OocuSign Envelope 10: OFF5804C-4659-4E4C-8F66-0694E79EA706 Section 9 Unbundled Network Elements . shall have the right to rebut this presumption, which it may do by demonstrating to the Commission by a preponderance of the evidence that the incremental costs of mitigation would be sufficient to cause a substantial effect upon other Customers (including but not limited to CLECs securing UNEs) if charged to them. Upon such a showing, the Commission may determine how to apportion responsibility for those costs, including, but not limited to CLECs taking services under this Agreement. 9.2.7 Private line/special access circuits may be converted to Unbundled Loops subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the following criteria: 1) must be like-for-like facilities, e.g., DS1 private line to DS1 capable Unbundled Loop; 2) must originate at CLEC's Collocation site in the serving Central Offce; and 3) must terminate at an End User Customer's premises. The provisioning intervals for converting from private line/special access to Unbundled Loop are located in the Service Interval Guide (SIG). Additional information can be found in the Product Catalog for Unbundled Loop. 9.3 Subloop Unbundling 9.3.1 Descnption 9.3.1.1 An Unbundled Subloop is defined as the distribution portion of a copper Loop or hybrid Loop comprised entirely of copper wire or copper cable that acts as a transmission facility between any point that it is Technically Feasible to access at terminals in CenturyLink's outside plant (originating outside of the Central Office), including inside wire owned or controlled by CenturyLink, and terminates at the End User Customer's premises. An accessible terminal is any point on the Loop where technicians can access the wire within the cable without removing a splice case to reach the wire within. Such points may include, but are not limited to, the pole, pedestal, Network Interface Device, minimum point of entry, single point of Interconnection, Remote Terminal, Feeder Distribution Interface (FDI), or Serving Area Interface (SAl). CLEC shall not have access on an unbundled basis to a feeder Subloop defined as facilities extending from the Central Office to a terminal that is not at the End User Customer's premises or multiple tenant environment (MTE). CLEC shall have access to the feeder facilities only to the extent it is part of a complete transmission path, not a Subloop, between the Central Office and the End User Customer's premises or MTE. This section does not address Unbundled Dark Fiber MTE Subloop which is addressed in Section 9.7. . 9.3.1.1.1 Building terminals within or physically attached to a privately owned building in a Multiple Tenant Environment (MTE) are one form of accessible terminaL. Throughout Section 9.3 the Parties obligations around such "MTE Terminals" are segregated because Subloop terms and conditions differ between MTE environments and non-MTE environments. 9.3.1.1.2 For any configuration not specifically addressed in this Agreement, the conditions of CLEC access shall be as required by the particular circumstances. These conditions include: (1) the degree of equipment separation required, (2) the need for separate cross connect devices, (3) the interval applicable to any Collocation or other provisioning requiring CenturyLink performance or cooperation, (4) the security required to maintain the safety and reliability of the facilities of CenturyLink and other CLECs, (5) the engineering and operations standards and practices to be applied at CenturyLink facilities .

The FCP interconnects CLEC facilities to a terminal block within the accessible terminaL. The terminal block allows a technician to access and combine Unbundled Subloop elements. When a FCP is required, it must be in place before Subloop orders are processed. 9.3.1.4.2 Placement of a FCP within a CenturyLink Premises for the sole purpose of creating a cross connect field to support Subloop unbundling constitutes a "Cross Connect Collocation." 9.3.1.4.2.1 The terms, conditions, intervals and rates for Cross Connect Collocation are found within Section 9.3. 9.3.1.4.2.2 To the extent that CLEC places equipment in a CenturyLink Premises that requires power and or heat dissipation, such Collocation is governed by the terms of Section 8 and does not constitute a Cross Connect Collocation. 9.3.1.4.3 A FCP arrangement can be established either within a CenturyLink accessible terminal, or, if space within the accessible terminal is legitimately exhausted and when Technically Feasible, CLEC may place the FCP in an adjacent terminaL. CLEC will have access to the equipment placed within the Collocation for maintenance purposes. However, CLEC will not have access to the FCP Interconnection point. . 9.3.1.5 MTE Point of Interconnection (MTE-POI) 9.3.1.5.1 A MTE-POI is necessary when CLEC is obtaining access to the Distribution Loop or Intrabuilding Cable Loop from an MTE TerminaL. CLEC must create the cross connect field at the building terminal that will allow CLEC to connect its facilties to CenturyLink's Subloops. The Demarcation Point between CLEC and CenturyLink's facilties is the MTE-POI. 9.3.1.6 Once a state has determined that it is Technically Feasible to unbundle Subloops at a designated accssible terminal, CenturyLink shall either agree to unbundle at such access point or shall have the burden to demonstrate, pursuant to the Dispute Resolution provisions of this Agreement, that it is not Technically Feasible, or that sufficient space is not available to unbundle Subloop elements at such accessible terminaL. 9.3.1.7 Intentionally Left Blank. .

The Two-Wire/Four-Wire Unbundled Distribution Loop is suitable for local exchange-type services. CLEC can obtain access to this Unbundled Network Element at any Technically Feasible accessible terminaL. 9.3.2.1.2 Two-Wire/Four-Wire Non-Loaded Distribution Loop: a CenturyLink-provided facility without load coils and excess Bridged Taps from the CenturyLinkaccessible terminal to the Demarcation Point or Network Interface Device (NID) at the End User Customer location. When CLEC requests a Non- Loaded Unbundled Distribution Loop and there are none available, CenturyLink wil contact CLEC to determine if CLEC wishes to have CenturyLink unload a Loop. If the response is affirmative, CenturyLink will dispatch a technician to "condition" the Distribution Loop by removing load coils and excess Bridged Taps (Le., "unload" the Loop). CLEC may be charged the cable unloading andBridged Taps removal nonrecurring charge in addition to the Unbundled Loop installation nonrecurring charge. If a CenturyLink technician is dispatched and no load coils or Bridged Taps are removed, the nonrecurring conditioning charge will not apply. CLEC can obtain access to this Unbundled Network Element at any Technically Feasible accessible terminaL. 9.3.2.1.3 Intrabuilding Cable Loop: a CenturyLink-provided facility from the building terminal inside a MTE to the Demarcation Point at the End User Customer premises inside the same building. This Subloop element only applies when CenturyLink owns the intrabuilding cable. 9.3.2.1.4 To the extent CLEC accesses a Subloop in a campus environment from an accessible terminal that serves multiple buildings, CLEC can access the Subloop by ordering a Distribution Loop pursuant to either Section 9.3.2.1.1 or 9.3.2.1.2. A campus environment is one piece of property, owned by one (1) Person or entity, on which there are multiple buildings. 9.3.2.2 I ntentionally Left Blank. 9.3.2.2.1 Intentionally Left Blank. 9.3.3 MTE Terminal Subloop Access: Terms and Conditions 9.3.3.1 Access to Distribution Loops or Intrabuilding Cable Loops at an MTE Terminal within a non-CenturyLink owned MTE is done through an MTE-POI. Collocation is not required to access Subloops used to access the network infrastructure within an MTE, unless CLEC requires the placement of equipment in a CenturyLink Premises. Cross Connect Collocation, as defined in Section 9.3, refers to creation of a cross connect field and does not constitute Collocation as defined in Section 8. The terms and conditions of Section 8 do not apply to Cross Connect Collocation if required at or near an MTE.

The Parties recognize a mutual obligation to interconnect in a manner that maintains netwrk integrity, reliability, and security. CLEC may access the MTE Terminal as a test access point. 9.3.3.4 CLEC wil work with the MTE building owner to determine where to terminate its facilities within the MTE. CLEC will be responsible for all work associated with bringing its facilities into and terminating the facilities in the MTE. CLEC shall seek to work with the building owner to create space for such terminations without requiring CenturyLink to rearrange its facilities. 9.3.3.5 If there is space in the building for CLEC to enter the building and terminate its facilities without CenturyLink having to rearrange its facilities, CLEC must seek to use such space. In such circumstances, an inventory of CLEC's terminations within the MTE shall be input into CenturyLink's systems to support Subloop orders before Subloop orders are provisioned or in conjunction with the first Subloop order in the MTE. If CLEC requires immediate access to the Subloop, then CLEC may access the Subloop element prior to the completion of the inventory per Section 9.3.5.4.7. CenturyLink shall have five (5) Days from receipt of a written request from CLEC, in addition to the interval set forth in Section 9.3.5.4.1, to input the inventory of CLEC's terminations into its systems. CenturyLink may seek an extended interval if the work cannot reasonably be completed within the stated intervaL. In such cases, CenturyLink shall provide written notification to CLEC of the extended interval CenturyLink believes is necessary to complete the work. CLEC may dispute the need for, and the duration of, an extended interval, in which case CenturyLink must request a waiver from the Commission to obtain the extended intervaL. If CLEC submits a Subloop order before CenturyLink inputs the inventory into its systems, CenturyLink shall process the order in accordance with Section 9.3.5.4.1. . 9.3.3.6 If CLEC connects CenturyLink's Sub loop element to CLEC's facilities using any temporary wiring or cut-over devices, CLEC shall remove any remaining temporary wiring or cut-over devices and install permanent wiring within ninety (90) Days. All wiring arrangements, temporary and permanent, must adhere to the National Electric Code. 9.3.3.7 If there is no space for CLEC to place its building terminal or no accessible terminal from which CLEC can access such Subloop elements, and CenturyLink and CLEC are unable to negotiate a reconfigured Single Point of Interconnection (SPOI) to serve the MTE, CenturyLink wil either rearrange facilities to make room for CLEC or construct a single point of access that is fully accessible to and suitable for CLEC. CenturyLink's obligation to construct a SPOI is limited to those MTEs where CenturyLink has distribution facilities to that MTE and owns, controls, or leases the inside wire at the MTE. In addition, CenturyLink shall have an obligation only when CLEC indicates that it intends to place an order for access to an unbundled Subloop Network Element via a SPOI.

Specifically, the NID is a single line termination device or that portion ofa multiple line termination device required to terminate a single line or circuit at a premises. If CLEC seeks to access a NID as well as a Subloop connected to that NID, it may do so only pursuant to Section 9.3. If CLEC seeks to access only a NID (i.e., CLEC does not wish to access a Subloop connected to that NID), it may only do so pursuant to this Section 9.5. CenturyLink shall permit CLEC to connect its own Loop facilities to on-premises wiring through CenturyLink's NID, or at any other Technically Feasible point. The NID carries with it all features, functions and capabilities of the facilities used to connect the Loop distribution plant to the End User Customer's premises wiring, including access to the Cross Connection field, regardless of the particular design of the NID mechanism. Although the NID provides the connection to the End User Customets premises wiring, it may not represent the Demarcation Point where CenturyLink ownership or control of the intra-premises wiring ends. The NID contains a protective ground connection that protects the End User Customer's on-premises wiring against lightning and other high voltage surges and is capable of terminating media such as twisted pair cable. If CLEC orders Unbundled Loops on a reuse basis, the existing drop and CenturyLink's NID, as well as any on premises wiring that CenturyLink owns or controls, wil remain in place and continue to carry the signal over the End User Customets on-premises wiring to the End User Customets equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Unbundled Loop and any Subloop terminating at a NID shall include the existing drop and the functionality of the NID as more specifically set fort in Section 9.2. The NID is offered in three (3) varieties: 9.5.1.1 Simple NID - The modular NID is divided into two (2) components, one containing the over-voltage unit (protector) and the other containing the End User Customer's on-premises inside wiring termination, and a modular plug which connects the inside wire to the distribution plant or dial tone source. The non-modular NID is a protector block with the inside wire terminated directly on the distribution facilities. 9.5.1.2 Smart NID - To the extent CenturyUnk has deployed "smart" devices in general meaning a terminating device that permits the service provider to isolate the Loop facilty from the premises wiring for testing purposes, and such devices have spare functioning capacity not currently used by CenturyLink or any other provider, CenturyLink shall provide unbundled access to such devices. CenturyLink shall also continue to allow CLEC, at its option, to use all features and functionality of the CenturyLink NID including any protection mechanisms, test capabilities, or any other capabilities now existing or as they may exist in the future regardless of whether or not CLEC terminates its own distribution facilty on the NID.

Such devices contain the protectors for, and may be located externally or internally to the premises served. 9.5.1.4 I ntentionally Left Blank. 9.5.2 Terms and Conditions 9.5.2.1 CLEC may use the existing CenturyLink NID to terminate its drop if space permits, otherwise a new NID or other Technically Feasible Interconnection point is required. If CLEC installs its own NID, CLEC may connect its NID to the CenturyLink NID by placing a cross connect between the two. When Provisioning a NID-to-NID connection, CLEC will isolate the CenturyLink facility in the NID by unplugging the modular unit. If CLEC requires that a non-modular unit be replaced with a modular NID, CenturyLink will perform the replacement for the charge described in Section 9.5.3.1. If CLEC is a facilities-based provider up to and including its NID, the CenturyLink facility currently in place, including the NID, wil remain in place. 9.5.2.1.1 CenturyLink shall allow CLEC to connect its Loops directly to the NID field containing the terminations of the on-premises inside wiring not owned or controlled by CenturyLink, without restriction. Where CenturyLink does not own or control the on-premises inside wiring, CLEC and the landowner shall determine procedures for such access. 9.5.2.1.2 CenturyLink shall allow CLEC to use all features and functionality of the CenturyLink NID including any protection mechanisms, test capabilties, or any other capabilities now existing or as they may exist in the future. . 9.5.2.1.3 Pursuant to generally acceptable work practices, and provided the inside wire re-termination is required to meet service requirements of either Parties' End User Customer, either Party may remove the inside wire from the NID and connect that wire to that Party's own NID. Future installation of CenturyLink NIDs will be such that it will not unnecessarily impede access to the End User Customer's wiring. 9.5.2.1.4 CLEC may enter the subscriber access chamber or End User Customer side of a dual chamber NID enclosure for the purpose of NID-to-NID connections. 9.5.2.1.5 Upon CLEC request, CenturyLink wil make other rearrangements to the inside wire terminations or terminal enclosure. Charges will be assessed per Section 9.5.3.4. No such charge shall be applicable if CenturyLink initiates the rearrangement of such terminations. In all such instances, rearrangements shall be performed in a non-discriminatory fashion and timeframe and without an End User Customer's perceivable disruption in service. CenturyLink will not make any rearrangements of wiring that is provided by another Carrier that relocates the other Carrier's test access point without notifying the affected Carrier promptly after such rearrangement if CLEC has properly labeled its cross connect wires..

CenturyLink is not required to proactively conduct NID change-outs, on a wide scale basis. At CLEC's request, CenturyLink wil change the NID on an individual request basis by CLEC and charges wil be assessed per Section 9.5.3.5 except where Section 9.5.5.1 applies. CenturyLink is not required to inventory NID locations on behalf of CLEC. 9.5.2.3 When CLEC accesses a CenturyUnk NID, it shall employ generally accepted best engineering practices and comply with industry standards should such standards exist when it physically connects its NID (or equivalent) to the CenturyLink NID and makes Cross Connections necessary to provide service. At MTE NIDs, CLEC shall clearly label the cross connect wires it uses to provide service. CenturyLink shall label its terminals when a technician is dispatched. 9.5.2.4 All services fed through a protector field in a CenturyLink NID located inside a building wil interface on an industry standard termination block and then extend, via a Cross Connection to the End User Customer's in-premises wiring. All services fed through a protector field in a CenturyLink NID that is attached to a building wil interface on industr standard lugs or a binding post type of termination and then extend, via a Cross Connection, to the End User Customer's on-premises wiring. 9.5.2.5 If so requested by CLEC, CenturyLink shall allow CLEC to connect its Loops directly to the protector field at CenturyLink NIDs that have unused protectors and are not used by CenturyLink or any other Telecommunications Carrier to provide service to the premises. If CLEC accesses the CenturyLink protector field, it shall do so on the distribution side of the protector field only where spare protector capacity exists. In such cases, CLEC shall only access a CenturyLink NID protector field in cable increments appropriate to the NID. If twenty-five (25) or more metallc cable pairs are simultaneously terminated at the MTE NID, additions must be in increments of twenty- five (25) additional metallc pairs. In all cases, Telecommunications cables entering a CenturyLink NID must be terminated in compliance with FCC 88-57, section 315 of the National Electric Safety Code and section 800.30 of the National Electric Code. 9.5.3 Rate Elements Exhibit A provides recurring and nonrecurring rates for access or modifications to an existing NID, and Exhibit A also provides Miscellaneous Charges. 9.5.3.1 If CLEC requests the current simple NID be replaced with a different simple NID, pursuant to Section 9.5.2.1, additional labor - other Miscellaneous Charges will be assessed with CLEC paying only for the portion of the change-out that is specific to and for the functionality that supports CLEC requirements. 9.5.3.2 Recurring rates apply for unbundled access to the protector field in a CenturyLink NID, pursuant to Section 9.5.2.5. As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, CenturyLink has not implemented charges for this recurring rate element, but reserves the right to assess such a charge in the future. 9.5.3.3 When CLEC requests that CenturyLink perform the work to connect its NID to the CenturyUnk NID, the costs associated with CenturyLink performing such work will be charged to CLEC as additional labor - other Miscellaneous Charges.

Dark fiber transport consists of unactivated optical interoffce transmission facilities. 9.7.1 Description Unbundled Dark Fiber (UDF) is a deployed, unlit strand or strands of fiber that connects two (2) Wire Centers within CenturyLink's network within the same LATA or state. UDF exists in two (2) distinct forms: (a) UDF interoffice facility (UDF-IOF), which constitutes a deployed route between two (2) CenturyLink Wire Centers; and (b) UDF MTE Subloop that begins at or near an MTE premises to provide access to MTE premises wiring. Deployed Dark Fiber facilities shall include all local exchange Dark Fiber CenturyLink owns directly or to which it has a right to access under agreements with any other party affiliated or not, that do not prohibit CenturyLink's abilty to provide access to another Person or entity. Deployed Dark Fiber facilities shall not be limited to facilities owned by CenturyLink, but will include in place and easily called into service facilities to which CenturyLink has otherwise obtained a right of access, including but not limited to capitalized Indefeasible Right to Use (IRUs) or capitalized leases. CenturyLink shall not be required to extend access in a manner that is inconsistent with the restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to CenturyLink's access; however, in the case of access obtained from an Affiliate: (a) the actual practice and custom as betwen CenturyLink and the Affliate shall apply, in the event that it provides broader access than does any documented agreement that may exist, and (b) any terms restricting access by CLEC that are imposed by the agreement with the Affiliate (excluding good-faith restrictions imposed by any agreement with a third party from whom the Affiliate has gained rights of access) shall not be applied to restrict CLEC access. 9.7.2 Terms and Conditions . 9.7.2.0 CenturyLink shall unbundle dark fiber transport between any pair of CenturyLink Wire Centers except where, through application of "Tier" classifications described in Section 4 of this Agreement, both Wire Centers defining the Route are either Tier 1 or Tier 2 Wire Centers. As such, CenturyLink must unbundle dark fiber transport if a Wire Center on either end of a requested Route is a Tier 3 Wire Center. 9.7.2.1 CenturyLink will provide CLEC with non-discriminatory access to UDF in accordance with Section 9.1. CenturyLink will provide UDF of substantially the same quality as the fiber facilities that CenturyLink uses to provide retail service to its own End User Customers. 9.7.2.2 CenturyLink provides access to unbundled Dark Fiber at: 9.7.2.2.1 Accessible terminations such as fiber distribution panels. 9.7.2.2.2 A point of technically feasible access is any point in CenturyLink's outside plant at or near an MTE premises where a technician can access the wire or fiber within the cable without removing a splice case to reach the wire or fiber within to access the wiring in the MTE premises.

CLEC may obtain up to twenty-five percent (25%) of available Dark Fibers or four (4) Dark Fiber strands, whichever is greater, in each fiber cable segment over a twelve (12) month period. Before CLEC may order additional UDF on such fiber cable segment, CLEC must demonstrate efficient use of existing fiber in each cable segment. Effcient use of interoffice cable segments is defined as providing a minimum of OC-12 termination on each fiber pair. Efficient use of UDF MTE Subloop fiber is defined as providing a minimum of OC-3 termination on each fiber pair. CLEC may designate five percent (5%) of its fibers along a fiber cable segment, or two (2) strands, whichever is greater, for maintenance spare, which fibers or strands are not subject to the termination requirements in this paragraph. 9.7.2.5 CenturyLink shall not have an obligation to unbundle Dark Fiber in the following circumstances: a) CenturyLink wil not unbundle Dark Fiber that CenturyLink utilzes for maintenance or reserves for maintenance spare for CenturyLink's own use. CenturyLink shall not reserve more than five percent (5%) of the fibers in a sheath, or two (2) strands, whichever is greater, for maintenance or maintenance spare for CenturyLink's own use. b) CenturyLink will not be required to unbundle Dark Fiber if CenturyLink demonstrates to the Commission by a preponderance of the evidence that such unbundling would create a likely and foreseeable threat to its abilty to meet its Carrer of last resort obligations as established by any regulatory authority. CenturyLink shall initiate such proceeding within seven (7) Days of denying CLEC's request (by written notice) to unbundle Dark Fiber where such fiber is available. In this proceeding, CenturyLink shall not object to using the most expeditious procedure available under state law, rule or regulation. CenturyLink shall be relieved of its unbundling obligations, related to the specific Dark Fiber at issue, pending the proceeding before the Commission.

If Collocation and or other network demarcation arrangements have not been completed, CLEC must have obtained preliminary APOT address information (CFA - Connecting Facility Assignment) for its network Demarcation Points in each CenturyUnk Wire Center where the UDF terminates prior to placing an order for UDF. When preliminary APOT has been established and delivered to CLEC, CenturyLink can begin processing the UDF Provisioning order upon receipt of the UDF Provisioning request. If the preliminary APOT address is changed by CLEC, a new Provisioning time line for UDF must be established. 9.7.3.3 Based on the CLEC request, (UDF-IOF or UDF MTE Subloop), there are two (2) possible termination scenarios. 9.7.3.3.1 Termination at an MTE. CLEC shall access the UDF MTE Subloop on the MTE Premises at a Technically Feasible point if possible. If access is not Technically Feasible on the MTE Premises, then CLEC may request access to UDF MTE Subloop at a Technically Feasible point near the MTE Premises. CenturyLink wil prepare and submit to CLEC a quotation along with the original Field Verification Quote Preparation form (FVQP) within the interval set forth in Exhibit C. Quotations are on an Individual Case Basis (ICB) and wil include costs and an interval in accordance with Exhibit C. 9.7.3.3.2 Intentionally Left Blank. 9.7.3.3.3 Termination at CenturyLink Wire Center. If spare fiber is available, and CLEC chooses to proceed, and the request is for UDF terminations at a CenturyLink Wire Center, CenturyLink wil begin the Provisioning process upon notification from CLEC to proceed and the receipt of fifty percent (50%) of the nonrecurring charges. The notification to proceed is accomplished by completing, signing and returning the original inquiry request to the account manager. Provisioning intervals for this type of request are set forth in Exhibit C. CLEC wil be notified that Provisioning is complete and the remaining nonrecurring charges and associated recurring charges will be biled. . 9.7.3.4 An order may be canceled any time up to and including the Service Date. 9.7.3.5 CLEC may reserve Dark Fiber for CLEC during Collocation builds. Prior to reserving space, CLEC must place an inquiry pursuant to Section 9.7.3.1 of this Agreement and receive a U DF inquiry response that reflects that the route to be reserved is available. CLEC is also strongly encouraged to request a field verification that the route to be reserved is available. If CLEC does not obtain a field verification, CLEC assumes the risk that records upon which the UDF inquiry response is based may be in error. CLEC may reserve UDF for thirty (30), sixty (60), or ninety (90) Days. CLEC may extend or renew reservations if there is delay in completion of the Collocation build. All applicable UDF recurring charges specified in Section 9.7.5.2 wil be assessed at the commencement of the reservation. Nonrecurring charges for Provisioning and cross connects wil be assessed at the time of installation. .

If CenturyLink cannot repair the UDF to the minimum parameters set forth in Technical Publication 77383, then CenturyLink wil replace the UDF at no additional cost if suitable UDF pair(s) are available. If CenturyLink cannot replace the UDF with available pairs, then it, upon receipt of CLEC's disconnect order, will discontinue the recurring charges effective as of the date of the commencement of the trouble. 9.7.5 Rate Elements Exhibit A provides recurring and nonrecurring rates for Dark Fiber and also provides Miscellaneous Charges. 9.7.5.1 Dark Fiber includes the following rate elements: a) Initial Records Inquiry (IRI). This rate element is a pre-order work effort that investigates the availability of UDF. This is a one-time charge for each route check requested by CLEC. A simple IRI determines if UDF is available between two (2) CenturyLink Wire Centers. A complex IRI is used to determine if a UDF MTE Subloop is available. CenturyLink will bil CLEC the IRI immediately upon receipt of the inquiry. The IRI is a record search and does not guarantee the availability of UDF. b) Field Verification and Quote Preparation (FVQP). This rate element is a pre-order work effort to estimate the cost of providing UDF access to CLEC at locations other than CenturyLink Wire Centers. CenturyLink will prepare a quotation which wil explain what work activities, timeframes, and additional costs, including recurring and non-recurring costs, are associated with providing access to this FDP location. This quotation wil be good for thirty (30) Days. The FVQP is not necessary when the request is between CenturyLink Wire Centers (i.e., simple IRI). If FVQP is applicable pursuant to this section and CLEC orders UDF that has been reserved after a Field Verification has been performed, then the charge for FVQP wil be reduced by the amount of the Engineering Verification charge assessed in the context of the reservation. c) Engineering Verification.

The advanced data service may be provided by the Customer of record or another data service provider chosen by the Customer of record. A Splitter must be inserted into the Loop to accommodate establishment of the advanced data service. The Splitter separates the voice and data traffc and allows the copper Loop to be used for simultaneous DLEC data transmission and CLEC provided voice service to the End User. "CLEC" will herein be referred to as the voice service provider while "DLEC" will be referred to as the advanced data service provider. CLEC and DLEC may be the same entity. 9.21.2 Terms and Conditions 9.21.2.1 General . 9.21.2.1.1 The Customer of record (the voice service provider) wil order the insertion of a Splitter. CenturyLink is not responsible for providing the Splitter, filter(s) and/or other equipment necessary for the End User to receive separate voice and data service across a single copper Loop. 9.21.2.1.2 To order Line Splitting, CLEC/DLEC must have a Splitter installed in the CenturyLink Wire Center that serves the End User. The POTS Splitter must meet the requirements for Central Offce equipment Collocation set by the FCC or be compliant with ANSI T1.413. 9.21.2.1.3 CLEC/DLEC may provide any xDSL services that are compatible with CLEC's voice service in accordance with ANSI T1.413 or IEEE 820 or other industry standards. 9.21.2.1.4 There may be only one DLEC at any given time that provides advanced data service on any given Line Splitting arrangement. 9.21.2.1.5 The Customer of record will be able to request conditioning on the Unbundled Loop portion of the Line Splitting arrangement. CenturyLink will perform requested conditioning of shared Loops to remove load coils and excess Bridged Taps. If CLEC requests conditioning and such conditioning significantly degrades the voice services on the Loop to the point that it is unacceptable to CLEC, CLEC shall pay the conditioning rate set forth in Exhibit A to recondition the Loop..

Section 10.0 - ANCILLARY SERVICES 10.1 Interim Number Portbilty 10.1.1 Description 10.1.1.1 Interim Number Portbility (INP) service is an arrangement that allows an End User Customer to retain its dialed telephone number when switching to another service provider. INP service can be provided by CenturyLink to CLEC or by CLEC to CenturyLink. For the purposes of this section, the Party porting traffic to the other Party shall be referred to as the "INP Provider" and the Party receiving INP traffic for termination shall be referred to as the "INP Requestor." 10.1.1.2 INP applies to those situations where an End User Customer elects to transfer to a New Service Provider and such End User Customer also wishes to retain its existing telephone number. INP consists of INP Provider's provision to the INP Requestor the capability to route calls placed to telephone numbers assigned to the INP Provider's Switches to the INP Requestor's Switches. INP is available only for working telephone numbers assigned to the INP Provider's End User Customers who request to transfer to the INP Requestor's service. Local Interconnect Service (LIS) is required for INP. 10.1.1.3 INP is available as INP-Remote Call Forwarding (INP-RCF), Direct Inward Dialing (DID), and Directory Number Route Index (DNRI) and NXX Migration. DNRI is available as either direct to an End Office Switch or through a Tandem Switch, also referred to as DNRI Tandem (RIPH) or portabilty hub. NXX Migration, or Local Exchange Routing Guide Reassignment, reassigns the entire Central Office Code (NXX) to CLEC's Switch if the NXX Code is used solely for one (1) End User Customer. . 10.1.1.4 Remote Call Forwarding (RCF) 10.1.1.4.1 RCF permits a call to an INP Provider's assigned telephone number to be translated to the INP Requestor's dialable local telephone number. With the RCF solution, a permanent RCF is established in CenturyLink's Switch forwarding any incoming call to the telephone number assigned and maintained in CLEC's Switch. 10.1.1.4.2 I NP via RCF also requires office equipment (OE), on a per telephone number basis. The INP Requestor will need to provide a forecast of deployment sites and estimated quantities of ported telephone numbers to assist in an assessment of available porting methods. Each request for INP via RCF will be analyzed by the Infrastructure Availabilty Center, lAC, to determine if OE is available. 10.1.1.5 Direct Inward Dialing (DID) DID permits incoming calls to be ported to the INP Requestor's Switch via a DID trunk configuration. Each DID trunk group used for INP is dedicated to carrying DID INP traffic between CenturyLink's End Office Switch and CLEC's End Office Switch. The traffic on these trunks cannot overflow to other trunks. In addition, inter-Switch signaling for DID is limited to multi-frequency (MF). This precludes passing the Callng Line ID to CLEC's .

For DID, the INP Provider will deliver the dialed telephone number to the INP Requestots Central Offce. 10.1.1.6 Directory Number Route Indexing (DNRI) DNRI permits incoming calls to be ported to the INP Requestor's End Ofce Switch via a route index. A permanent route index is assigned to the End User Customer's ported telephone number in the INP Provider's End Office Switch. The INP Provider will deliver the dialed seven digit telephone number to the INP requestots Central Offce. INP Requestor may terminate the call as desired. Additional capacity for simultaneous call forwarding is available where Technically Feasible. The INP Requestor wil need to specify the number of simultaneous calls to be forwarded for each telephone number ported. DNRI Tandem Switch routing requires an additional thirty (30) Days lead time to establish technical requirements for routing the ported calls. 10.1.2 Terms and Conditions 10.1.2.1 CenturyLink and GLEC wil provide INP service in a non-discriminatory manner and with as little impairment of functioning, quality, reliability and convenience as possible. 10.1.2.2 CenturyLink wil coordinate INP with Unbundled Loop cutovers in a reasonable amount of time and with minimum service disruption. 10.1.2.3 The Parties shall provide INP on a reciprocal basis to each other to the extent Technically Feasible, and in accordance with rules and regulations as, from time to time, prescribed by the FCC and/or the Commission. 10.1.2.4 Until the long term number portability solution, referred to as Local Number Portability (LNP), is implemented by the industry pursuant to regulations issued by the FCC or the Commission, the Parties agree to provide INP to each other through RCF, DID, DNRI and NXX migration. Local Interconnect Service (LIS) is required for INP. 10.1.2.5 Once Local Number Portability has been implemented within a Wire Center, INP will no longer be available for ordering within that Wire Center. 10.1.2.6 Upon LNP implementation, the i NP offerings will be withdrawn subject to advance notice to the other Party. Both Parties wil conform to the Western Region LNP Technical and Operations team guidelines and agreements for completion of INP to LNP conversion activity. 10.1.2.7 The INP Requestots designated INP End Office Switch must return answer and disconnect supervision to the INP Provider's End Office Switch. 10.1.2.8 The i NP Requestor will provide to the E911 database provider the network telephone number that the INP Requestor assigned to the INP Provider- assigned, ported telephone number. Updates to and maintenance of the INP information to the E911 database are the responsibility of the INP Requestor.

CenturyLink wil restrict or cancel callng cards associated with these ported telephone numbers. UDB updates shall be completed by the Parties on the same business day each INP arrangement is activated. 10.1.2.10 An INP telephone number may be assigned by INP Requestor only to the INP Requestots End User Customers located within the INP Provider's Local Calling Area and toll rating area that is associated with the NXX Code of the ported telephone number. 10.1.2.11 IN P is applicable only if the IN P Requestor is engaged in a reciprocal traffic exchange arrangement with the INP Provider. 10.1.2.12 Only the existing INP Provider assigned End User Customer telephone number may be used as a ported telephone number for INP. 10.1.2.13 An INP telephone number must be active and assigned to an End User Customer to accommodate INP. 10.1.2.14 IN P services shall not be re-sold, shared or assigned by either Party to another LEC or CLEC. 10.1.2.15 INP is not offered for NXX Codes 555, 976, 960, and coin telephones, and Service Access Codes (i.e., 500, 700, 8XX, 900). INP is not available for Feature Group A seven-digit telephone numbers, including Foreign Exchange. Furthermore, INP telephone numbers may not be used for mass callng events.. 10.1.2.16 The ported telephone number will be returned to the End Office Switch which originally had the ported telephone number when the End User Customer disconnects service from the INP Requestor.

ARMIS data is updated on a yearly basis. 10.1.5.2.3 The number of lines to be used in determining the amount of terminating Switched Access will be extracted from the CenturyLink corporate data warehouse once each month. This database contains biled information for posted orders. 10.1.5.2.4 The calculation of the terminating Switched Accss charges, along with the appropriate data for the preceding month wil be provided to CLEC to support the payment. CenturyLink will pay the pass through amounts to CLEC within one month. Disputes will be processed as though this credited amount were a biled amount under this Agreement. 10.2 Local Number Portability 10.2.1 Description 10.2.1.1 Local Number Portability (LNP) is defined by the FCC as the ability of users of Telecommunications Services to retain, at the same location, existing Telecommunications numbers without impairment of quality, reliability, or convenience when switching from one Telecommunications Carrier to another. CenturyLink wil allow CLEC to port telephone numbers for its End User Customers in the same manner as CenturyLink ports telephone numbers for CenturyLink End User Customers. CLEC may port telephone numbers into and out of CenturyLink End Ofce Switches on behalf of an End User Customer using the FCC rules and industry guidelines as described in the following Sections. 10.2.1.2 CenturyLink uses the Location Routing Number (LRN) architecture. Under the LRN architecture, each End Offce Switch is assigned a unique ten-digit LRN, the first six digits of which identify the location of that End Office Switch. The LRN technology is a triggering and addressing method which allows the re-homing of individual telephone numbers to other End Offce Switches and ensures the proper routing of calls to ported telephone numbers through the use of a database and the signaling network. The LRN solution interrupts call processing through the use of an Advanced Intellgent Network (AIN) trigger, commonly referred to as the LRN trigger. During this interruption, a query is launched to the LNP database in the signaling network and the call is re-addressed using the LRN information for the ported telephone number. The LRN wil route the call to the proper End Office Switch destination. The actual routing of the call with either the dialed telephone number, for calls to non-ported telephone numbers, or the LRN, for calls to ported telephone numbers, observes the rules, protocols and requirements of the existing Public Offce Dialing Plan (PODP). 10.2.2 Terms and Conditions 10.2.2.1 CenturyLink wil provide Local Number Portability (LNP), also known as long-term number portability, in a non-discriminatory manner in compliance with the FCC's rules and regulations and the guidelines of the FCC's North American Numbering February 15, 20121kjc/Optix Media/lOI Agreement Number COS-120215-0001 CenturyUnk Fourteen State Negotiations Template, v.09.27.11 230 OocuSign Envelope 10: OFF5804C-459-4E4C-8F66-0694E79EA706 Section 10 Ancilary Services . Council's (NANC) Local Number Portability Administration (LNPA) Working Group and the Industry Numbering Committee (INC) of the Allance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS). Unless specifically excluded in Section 10.2.2.6, all telephone numbers assigned to an End User Customer are available to be ported through LNP. Mass callng events shall be handled in accrdance with the industry's non-LRN recommendation (NANC's High Volume Call-In Netwrks dated February 18, 1998). 10.2.2.2 Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to facilitate the expeditious deployment of LNP. The Parties shall comply with the processes and implementation schedules for LNP deployment prescribed by the FCC. In accordance with industry guidelines, the publications of LNP capable End Office Switches and the schedule and status for future deployment wil be identified in the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG). 10.2.2.3 In connection with the provision of LNP, the Parties agree to support and comply with all relevant requirements or guidelines that are adopted by the FCC, or that are agreed to by the Telecommunications industry as a national industry standard. 10.2.2.4 CenturyLink will coordinate LNP with Unbundled Loop cutovers in a reasonable amount of time and with minimum service disruption, pursuant to Unbundled Loop provisions identified in Section 9 of this Agreement. CLEC wil coordinate with CenturyLink for the transfer of the CenturyLink Unbundled Loop coincident with the transfer of the End User Customets service to CenturyLink in a reasonable amount of time and with minimum service disruption. For coordination with Loops not associated with CenturyLink's Unbundled Loop offering, CLEC may order the LNP managed cut, as described in Section 10.2.5.4.. 10.2.2.4.1 Parties understand that LNP order activity must be coordinated with facilties cutovers in order to ensure that the End User Customer is provided with uninterrupted service. If the Party porting the telephone number experiences problems with its port or provision of its Loop, and needs to delay or cancel the port and any Loop disconnection, that Party shall notify the other Party immediately. Parties wil work cooperatively and take prompt action to delay or cancel the port and any Loop disconnection in accordance with industry (LNPA's National Number Porting Operations Team), accepted procedures to minimize End User Customer service disruptions. 10.2.2.4.2 Parties shall transmit a port create subscription or port concurrence message to the NPAC, in accordance with the FCC's LNPA Working Group's guidelines. CenturyLink wil routinely send a concurrence message within the time frames established by the industry. 10.2.2.5 The Parties agree to implement LNP within the guidelines set forth by the generic technical requirements for LNP as specified in Section 21 of this Agreement. 10.2.2.6 Neither Party shall be required to provide Local Number Portability for telephone numbers that are excluded by FCC rulings (e.g., 500 and 900 NPAs, 950 and 976 NXX number services). 10.2.2.7 After an End Ofice Switch becomes equipped with LNP, all NXXs assigned to that End Office Switch will be defined as portable, to the extent Technically .

When an NXX is defined as portable, it wil also be defined as portable in all LNP-capable End Office Switches that have direct trunks to the End Office Switch associated with the portable NXX. 10.2.2.8 Each Part shall offer Local Number Portability to End User Customers for any portion of an existing DI D block without being required to port the entire block of DID telephone numbers. Each Party shall permit End User Customers who port a portion of DID telephone numbers to retain DID service on the remaining portion of the DID telephone numbers. 10.2.2.9 At the time of portng a telephone number via LNP from CenturyLink, CenturyLink shall ensure that the UDB entry for that telephone number is de-provisioned if the CenturyLink UDB is not being used by CLEC. 10.2.2.10 Both Parties agree to follow the LNP End Office Switch request process established by the Parties and in compliance with industry guidelines. 10.2.2.11 NXX Migration, or Local Exchange Routing Guide Reassignment, reassigns the entire Central Office Code (NXX) to CLEC's End Office Switch if the code is used solely for one End User Customer. Where one Party has activated an entire NXX for a single End User Customer, or activated a substantial portion of an NXX for a single End User Customer with the remaining telephone numbers in the NXX either reserved for future use or otherwse unused, if such End User Customer chooses to receive service from the other Party, the first Party shall cooperate with the second Part to have the entire NXX reassigned to an End Office Switch operated by the second Party through the NANP administrator. In addition, both Parties agree to cooperate in arranging necessary updates and industry notification in the LERG (and associated industry databases, routing tables, etc.). Such transfer wil be accomplished with appropriate coordination between the Parties and subject to appropriate industry lead- times (as identified in the LERG and the Central Offce Code Administration guidelines) for movement of NXXs from one End Office Switch to another. Other applications of NXX migration wil be discussed by the Parties as circumstances arise. 10.2.2.12 In connection with all LNP requests, the Parties agree to comply with the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) recommended standards for service provider Local Number Portability (NENA-02-011), as may be updated from time to time, regarding unlocking and updating End User Customers' telephone number records in the 911/Automatic Location Information (AU) database. The Current Service Provider shall send the 911 unlock record on the completion date of the order to the 911 database administrator. 10.2.2.13 Porting of Reserved Numbers. The End User Customers of each Part may port Reserved Numbers from one Party to the other Party via LNP. CenturyLink will port telephone numbers previously reserved by the End User Customer via the appropriate retail Tariffs until these reservations expire. CenturyLink wil reserve telephone numbers in accordance with the FCC's rules. 10.2.2.14 Limits on Subscriber Relocation. CenturyLink and CLEC agree that an End User Customer may geographically relocate at the same time as it ports its telephone number, using LNP, to the New Service Provider; provided, however, that the February 15, 2012/kjc/Optix Media/lOI Agreement Number COS-120215-0001 CenturyUnk Fourteen State Negotiations Template, v.09.27.11 232 OocuSign Envelope 10: OFF5804C-4659-4E4C-8F66-0694E79EA706 Section 10 Ancilary Servces . Current Service Provider may require that the End User Customer's relocation at the time of the port to the New Service Provider be limited to the geographic area represented by the NXX of the ported telephone number. The Current Service Provider may not impose a relocation limitation on the New Service Provider or the New Service Provider's subscribers that is more restrictive than that which the Current Service Provider would impose upon its own subscribers with telephone numbers having the same NXX as the telephone number(s) being ported. In addition, the Current Service Provider may not impose any restrictions on relocation within the same Rate Center by a ported End User Customer while that End User Customer is served by the New Service Provider. 10.2.3 Service Management System 10.2.3.1 Each Party shall sign the appropriate NPAC user agreement(s) and obtain certification from the appropriate NPAC administrator(s) that the Party or the Part's Service Order Administration (SOA) and Local Service Management System (LSMS) vendor(s) has systems and equipment that are compatible with the NPAC's established protocols and that the application of such systems and equipment is compatible with the NPAC. 10.2.3.2 Each Party shall cooperate to facilitate the administration of the SMS through the process prescribed in the documents referenced in Section 21. 10.2.4 Database and Query Services 10.2.4.1 The LNP database provides the call routing information used by CenturyLink's End Offce Switches and Tandem Switches to route CLEC's End User Customer's calls to a ported telephone number or to terminate calls to CLEC's End User Customers using a ported telephone number. CenturyLink shall perform default LNP queries where CLEC is unable to perform its own query. CLEC shall perform default LNP queries where CenturyLink is unable to perform its own query. CenturyLink query services and charges are defined in FCC Tariff #5, including End Office and Tandem Switch Default Query Charges which are contained in Tariff Section 13 (Miscellaneous Service) and Database Query Charges which are contained in Tariff Section 20 (CCSAC Service Applications). . 10.2.4.2 For local calls to a NXX in which at least one (1) telephone number has been ported via LNP at the request of CLEC, the Party that owns the originating Switch shall query an LNP database as soon as the call reaches the first LNP-capable Switch in the call path. The Party that owns the originating Switch shall query on a local call to a NXX in which at least one (1) telephone number has been ported via LNP prior to any attempts to route the call to any other Switch. Prior to the first telephone number in a NXX being ported via LNP at the request of CLEC, CenturyLink may query all calls directed to the NXX, subject to the Billng provisions as discussed in Section 10.2.4.1 and provided that CenturyLink queries shall not adversely affect the quality of service to CLEC's End User Customers as compared to the service CenturyLink provides its own End User Customers. 10.2.4.3 A Party shall be charged for a LNP query by the other Party only if the Part to be charged is the N-1 Carrier and it was obligated to perform the LNP query but failed to do so.

CenturyLink shall update its LNP database from the NPAC SMS data within fifteen (15) minutes of receipt of a download from the NPAC SMS. 10.2.5 Ordering 10.2.5.1 Both Parties shall comply with industry ordering standards, NANC LNP Process Flows, LNPA-WG Best Practices as developed by the industr, and appropriate Commission and FCC Porting Orders. The Parties wil do so on a reciprocal basis so that end users of both parties are allowed to port their numbers in accordance with FCC mandate and Commission rules without undue delay or hardship. LNP service is ordered via a Local Service Request and associated LNP forms. CLEC may order LNP either manually or through an electronic interface. The electronic gateway solution for ordering service is described in Section 12 of this Agreement. 10.2.5.2 Standard Due Date Intervals. Service intervals for both Parties for LNP are located in the CenturyLink Service Interval Guide (SIG). Additional information can be found in the Product Catalog for LNP. These intervals include the cutoff times for order receipt and the time for Firm Order Confirmation (FOC). 10.2.5.3 Most LNP order activity is flow-through, meaning that the ten (10) digit unconditional trigger, or Line Side Attribute (LSA) trigger, can be set automatically. CLEC may request any Due Date/Frame Due Time (DD/FDT) where the trigger can be set automatically, although there may be some instances when CenturyLink or the Number Portability Administration Center/Service Management System (NPAC/SMS) wil provide prior electronic notice of specific blocks of time which cannot be used as a DD/FDT due to scheduled maintenance or other circumstances. If the DD/FDT on a flow-though cut is outside CenturyLink's normal business hours for LNP, CenturyLink wil have personnel available in the repair center to assist in the event that CLEC experiences problems during the cut. In addition, CenturyLink allows CLEC to request a managed cut on a 24 X 7 basis in those situations where a cut would otherwse have been flow-through, but where CLEC has a business need to have CenturyLink personnel dedicated to the cut. The terms and conditions for managed cuts are described in 10.2.5.4. 10.2.5.3.1 CenturyLink will set the ten (10) digit unconditional trigger for telephone numbers to be ported, unless technically infeasible, by 11 :59 p.m. (local time) on the business day preceding the scheduled port date. (A 1 D-digit unconditional trigger cannot be set for DID services in AXE10 and DMS10 End Office Switches thus managed cuts are required, at no charge.) The ten (10) digit unconditional trigger and End Offce Switch translations associated with the End User Customer's telephone number will not be removed, nor wil CenturyLink disconnect the End User Customer's Biling and account information, until 11 :59 p.m. (local time) of the next business day after the Due Date.

In the event CLEC does not make a timely notification, CLEC may submit a late notification to CenturyLink as soon as possible but in no event later than 12:00 p.m. (mountain time) the next business day after the Due Date to CenturyLink's Interconnect Service Center in the manner set forth below. For a late notification properly submitted, Century Link agrees to use its best efforts to ensure that the End User Customets service is not disconnected prior to 11 :59 p.m. of the next business day following the new Due Date or, in the case of a cancellation, no disruption of the End User Customets existing service. Late notifications must be made by callng CenturyLink's Interconnect Service Center followed by CLEC submitting a confirming supplemental LSR order. 10.2.5.4 LNP Managed Cut With CLEC-Provided Loop: A managed cut permits CLEC to select a project managed cut for LNP. Managed cuts are offered on a 24 X 7 basis. 10.2.5.4.1 The date and time for the managed cut requires up-front planning and may need to be coordinated between CenturyLink and CLEC. All requests will be processed on a first come, first served basis and are subject to CenturyLink's ability to meet a reasonable demand. Considerations such as system downtime, Switch upgrades, Switch maintenance, and the possibilty of other CLECs requesting the same FDT in the same End Office Switch (Switch contention) must be reviewed. In the event that any of these situations would occur, CenturyLink wil coordinate with CLEC for an agreed upon FDT, prior to issuing the Firm Order Confirmation (FOG). In special cases where a FDT must be agreed upon, the interval to reach agreement wil not exceed two (2) days.

CenturyLink shall make available a topical list of the BFRs that it has received from CLECs. The description of each item on that list shall be sufficient to allow CLEC to understand the general nature of the product, service, or combination thereof that has been requested and a summary of the disposition of the request as soon as it is made. CenturyLink shall also be required upon the request of CLEC to provide suffcient details about the terms and conditions of any granted requests to allow CLEC to take the same offering under substantially identical circumstances. CenturyLink shall not be required to provide information about the request initially made by CLEC whose BFR was granted, but must make available the same kinds of information about what it offered in response to the BFR as it does for other products or services available under this Agreement.

Description: PO-19X . Measures the percentage of test transactions that conform to the test scenarios published in the IMA XML Data Document - for the Stand Alone Test Environment (SATE) that are successfully executed in SATE at the time a new IMA Release is deployed to SATE . Includes one test transaction for each test scenario published in the IMA XML Data Document - for the Stand Alone Test Environment (SATE). . Test transactions wil be executed for each ofthe IMA releases supported in SATE utiizing all test scenarios for each of the current versions of the IMA XML Data Document - for the Stand Alone Test Environment (SATE). . The successful execution of a transaction is determined by the CenturyLink QC Test Engineer according to: - The expected results ofthe test scenario as described in the IMA XML Data Document - for the Stand Alone Test Environment (SA TE) and the XML disclosure document. - The transactions strict adherence to business rules published in CenturyLink QC's most current IMA XML Disclosure Documentation for each release and the associated Addenda. NOTE 1 . For this measurement, CenturyLink QC wil execute the test transactions in the Stand-Alone Test Environment. - Release related test transactions wil be executed when a full or point release of IMA is installed in SATE. These transactions wil be executed within five business days of the numbered release being originally installed in SATE. This five-business day period wil be referred to as the "Testing Window." . Test transaction results wil be reported by release and included in the Reporting Period during which the release transactions or mid-release test transactions are completed. PO-19B . Validates the extent that SATE mirrors production by measuring the percentage of IMA XML test transactions that produce comparable results in SATE and in production. - Transactions counted as producing comparable results are those that return correctly formatted data and fields as specified in the release's XML disclosure document and developer worksheets related to the IMA release being tested. - Comparability wil be determined by evaluating the data and fields in each XML message for the test transactions against the same data and fields for Preorder queries, LSRs, and Supplementals, and returned as Query Responses, Acknowledgements, Firm Order Confirmations (FOCs) for flow-through eligible products, and rejects. . Test transactions are executed one time for each new major IMA release within 7 days after the IMA release. - Test transactions consist of a defined suite of ProducUActivity combinations. CenturyLink QC's three regions wil be represented. NOTE2 - Pre-order, Order, and Post-order transactions (FOCs for flow-through products) are included. . With respect to the comparability of the structure and content of results from SATE and production environments, this measurement focuses only on the validity of the structure and the validitr of the content, per developer worksheets and WSDLs distributed as part of release notifications.

For all other products under OP-4C and for all products under OP-4A, -4B, -4D, and -4E. Saturday is counted as a business day when the service order is due or completed on Saturday. 2.Accrding to this definition, the Applicable Due Date can change, per successive customer-initiated due date changes or delays, up to the point when a CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change occurs. At that point, the Applicable Due Date becomes fixed (i.e., with no further changes) as the date on which it was set prior to the first CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change, if any. Following the first CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change, any further customer-initiated due date changes or delays are measured as time intervals that are subtracted as indicated in the formula. These delay time intervls are calculated as stated in the description. (Though infrequent, in cases where multiple CenturyLink QC-initiated due date changes occur, the stated method for calculating delay intervals is applied to each pair of CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change and subsequent customer-initiated due date change or delay. The intervals thus calculated from each pairing of CenturyLink QC and customer- initiated due dates are summed and then subtracted as indicated in the formula.) The result of this approach is that CenturyLink QC- initiated impacts on intervals are counted in the reported interval, and customer-initiated impacts on intervals are not counted in the reported intervaL. 3.Reporting wil begin at the time CLECs order the product, in any quantity, for three consecutive months.

Description: Measures two components of new service provisioning quality (OP-5A and -5B) and also reports a combined result (OP-5T), as described below, each as a percentage of all inward line service orders completed in the reporting period that are free of CLEC/customer-reported provisioning and repair trouble reports, as described below. Also measures the percentage of all provisioning and repair trouble reports that constitute multiple trouble report for the affected servce orders. (OP-5R) . Orders for new servces considered in calculating all components of this performance indicator are all inward line service orders completed in the reporting period, including Change (C-type) orders for additional lines/circuits, subject to exclusions shown below. Chan~e order types considered in these measurements consist of all C orders representing inward activity. OTE 1 . Orders for new servce installations include conversions (Retail to CLEC, CLEC to CLEe, and same CLEC converting between products). . Provisioning or repair trouble reports include both out of servce and other service affecting conditions, such as features on a line that are missing or do not function properly upon conversion, subject to exclusions shown below. OP-5A: New Service Installation Quality Reported to Repair . Measures the percentage of inward line service orders that are free of repair trouble reports NOTE 2 within 30 calendar days of installation completion, subject to exclusions below. . Repair trouble report are defined as CLEC/customer notifcations to CenturyLink QC of out-of- service and other servce affecting conditions for which Centu~Link QC opens repair tickets in its maintenance and repair mana~ement and tracking systems NO E 3 that are closed in the reporting period or the following month, OTE 4 subject to exclusions shown below. NOTE 5 . CenturyLink QC is able to open repair tickets for repair trouble reports received from CLECs/customers once the servce order is completed in CenturyLink QC's systems. OP-5B: New Service Provisioning Quality . Measures the percentage of inward line service orders that are free of provisioning trouble reports during the provisioning process and within 30 calendar days of installation completion, subject to exclusions shown below. . Provisioning trouble reports are defined as CLEC notifications to CenturyLink QC of out of servce or other servce affecting conditions that are attributable to provisioning activities, including but not limited to LSRlservice order mismatches and conversion outages. For provisioning trouble reports, CenturyLink QC creates call center tickets in its call center database. Subject to exclusions shown below, call center tickets closed in the reporting period or the following month NOTE 4 are captured in this measurement. Call center tickets closed to Network reasons wil not be counted in OP-5B when a repair trouble report for that order is captured in OP-5A. NOTE 5, 6 . . ~ New Service Installation Quality Total . Measures the percentage of inward line service orders that are free of repair or provisioning trouble reports during the provisioning process and within 30 calendar days of installation completion, subject to exclusion shown below. OP-5R: New Service Qualitv Multiple Report Rate .

At that point, the Applicable Due Date becomes fixed (Le., with no further changes) as the date on which it was set prior to the first CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change, if any. Following the first CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change, any further customer-initiated due date changes or delays are measured as time intervals that are subtracted as indicated in the formula. These delay time intervals are calculated as stated in the description. (Though infrequent, in cases where multiple CenturyLink QC-initiated due date changes occur, the stated method for calculating delay intervals is applied to each pair of CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change and subsequent customer- initiated due date change or delay. The intervals thus calculated from each pairing of CenturyLink QC and customer-initiated due dates are summed and then subtracted as indicated in the formula.) The result ofthis approach is that CenturyLink QC-initiated impacts on intervals are counted in the reported interval, and customer-initiated impact on intervls are not counted in the reported intervaL. 3.Reporting wil begin at the time CLECs order the product, in any auantity, for three consecutive months.

Includes all LSRs for coordinated cuts of unbundled loops that are completed/closed during the reporting period, subject to exclusions specified below. . OP-13A - Measures the percentage of LSRs (CLEC orders) for all coordinated cuts of unbundled loops that are started and completed on time. For coordinated loop cuts to be counted as "on time" in this measurement, the CLEC must agree to the start time, and CenturyLink QC must (1) receive verbal CLEC approval before starting the cut or lifting the loop, (2) complete the physical work and appropriate tests, (3) complete the CenturyLink QC portion of any associated LNP orders and (4) call the CLEC with completion information, all within one hour of the time interval defined by the committed order due time. . OP-13B - Measures the percentage of all LSRs for coordinated cuts of unbundled loops that are actually started without CLEC approvaL. . "Scheduled start time" is defined as the confirmed appointment time (as stated on the FOC), or a newly negotiated appointment time. . The "committed order due time" is based on the number and type of loops involved in the cut and is calculated by adding the applicable time interval from the following list to the scheduled start time: - Analog unbundled loops:1 to 16 lines: 1 Hour 17 to 24 lines: 2 Hours 25+ lines: Project* - All other unbundled loops:1 to 5 lines: 1 Hour 6 to 8 lines: 2 Hours 9 to 11 lines: 3 Hours 12 to 24 lines: 4 Hours 25+ lines: Project* *For Projects scheduled due dates and scheduled start times will be negotiated between CLEC and CenturyLink QC, but no committed order due time is established. Therefore, projects are not included in OP-13A (see exclusion below). . "Stop" time is defined as when CenturyLink QC notifies the CLEC that the CenturyLink QC physical work and the appropriate tests have been successfully accomplished, including the CenturyLink QC portion of any coordinated LNP orders. . Time intervals following the scheduled start time or during the cutover process associated with customer-caused delays are subtracted from the actual cutover duration. . Where CenturyLink QC's records of completed coordinated cut transactions are missing evidence of CLEC approval of the cutover, the cut will be counted as a miss under both OP-13A and OP- 13B.

Accrding to this definition, the Applicable Due Date can change, per succssive customer-initiated due date changes or delays, up to the point when a CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change occurs. At that point, the Applicable Due Date becomes fixed (Le., with no further changes) as the date on which it was set prior to the first CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change, if any. Following the first CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change, any further customer-initiated due date changes or delays are measured as time intervals that are subtracted as indicated in the formula. These delay time intervals are calculated as stated in the description. (Though infrequent, in cases where multiple CenturyLink QC-initiated due date changes occur, the stated method for calculating delay intervals is applied to each pair of CenturyLink QC-initiated due date change and subsequent customer-initiated due date change or delay. The intervals thus calculated from each pairing of CenturyLink QC and customer-initiated due dates are summed and then subtracted as indicated in the formula.) The result of this approach is that CenturyLink QC-initiated impacts on intervals are counted in the reported intervl, and customer-initiated impacts on intervals are not counted in the reported intervaL. 2. For OP-15A, Saturday is counted as a business day for all non-dispatched orders for Resale Residence, Resale Business, as well as for non-dispatched orders in the retail analogues specified above as standards. For all other non-dispatched products and for all dispatched products under OP-15A, Saturday is not counted as a business day. 3.

A count of calls in the queue is taken for every sampling event (10-second snapshot), and this count is multiplied by 10 to get a measurement of waiting intervals..Using this method, calls that enter the queue after a sample is taken but exit before the next sample is taken are not counted, Le., are effectively counted as a zero intervaL.However, this situation is offet by calls that enter just prior to a sampling time, but exit before the next sampling time, and which are counted as 10 seconds. The call intervls shorter than 10 seconds that are counted as 10 seconds are offet by those calls shorter than 10 seconds that are not counted.

For NI-1A, NI-1 B, NI-1 C, and NI-1D: . Trunk groups, blocking in excess of one percent in the reporting penod, for which CenturyLink QC can identify, in time to incorporate in the regular reporting ofthis measurement, the cause as being attnbutable to: - Trunk group out-of-servce conditions ansing from cable cuts, severe weather, or force majeure circumstances; - The CLEC placing trunks in a "busy" condition; - Lack of interconnection facilties to fulfill LIS requests for which the CLEC did not provide a timely forecast to CenturyLink QC. (This portion of the exclusion is limited to being applied in (a) the month the LIS requests could not be fulfilled, due to lack of facilities, and (b) each month thereafter up to the month following facility availabilitY OR up to five months after the month the LIS requests could not be fulfilled, whichever is sooner aTE 4); or - Isolated incidences of blocking, about which CenturyLink QC provides notification to the CLEC, that (a) are not recurring or persistent (affecting the same trunk groups), (b) do not warrant corrective action by CLEC or CenturvLink QC, and (6) thus, do not reauire an actionable TGSR. .

CenturyLink QC uses TGSRs to notify CLECs when trunk blocking exceeds standard thresholds or is determined to be persistent. To respond properly to TGSRs, a CLEC must (a) submit within 20 days ASRs to provide necessary trunk augmentations to avoid further blocking, (b) notify CenturyLink QC within 20 days that it is initiating a Trouble Report where CenturyLink QC traffc routing problems are causing the blocking referenced by the TGSR, or (c) notify CenturyLink QC that the CLEC will undertake its own re-routing of traffc within 20 days to alleviate the blocking. 2. The TGSR-related exclusion is applied in the month in which the TGSR is issued and in the month in which the above-specified 20-day response period ends. Thus, any trunk group excluded in one month wil not be excluded in the next month, unless there is (a) a 20-day period following a TGSR ends in that month, (b) there is another TGSR applicable to the next month for the same trunk group or (c) an exception documented, in lieu of issuing a subsequent TGSR, where the CLEC's response to the previous TGSR indicated that, for its own reasons, it plans to take no action at any time to augment the trunk group. 3.

The limitation on part (3) of this exclusion is intended to bound its applicabilty to a period of time that treats the unforecasted ASR as if it were, in effect, the first forecast for the facilities needed. a) Given that forecast advance intervals are currently six months, this provision allows the exclusion to apply for no longer than that penod of time. b) Nevertheless, this limitation to the exclusion also recognizes that facilities may become available sooner and, if so, reduces the limitation accordingly. In that context, this limitation recognizes that, absent a CLEC forecast, CenturyLink QC stil retains a responsibility to provide facilties for the ASR, although in a longer timeframe than for ASRs covered by forecasts. NI-1 C and NI-1 D wil be reported for information purposes only, with no standard to be applied. c) This limitation may change depending on the outcome of separate workshops dealing with issues of interconnection forecasting. 5.

CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17, 2010 -2- . Docu Sign Envelope ID:DFF58O4C-4659-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 Exhibit K The determination of whether a PID sub-measure is reinstated is made no later than at the end of the second month following the third consecutive month of non conforming performance.The sub-measure will remain subject to the PAP payment mechanisms until CenturyLink QC’s performance for that sub-measure satisfies the established standards for three consecutive months.Effective the month following such conforming performance,the sub-measure will no longer be subject to the PAP payment mechanisms but will continue to be subject to the PID Reinstatement/Removal Process.The determination of whether a PID sub-measure is removed from being subject to the PAP payment mechanisms is made no later than the end of the second month following the third consecutive month of conforming performance.Where applicable elsewhere in the PAP,this PID Reinstatement/Removal Process modifies other provisions and operates as follows: 3.3.1 Disaggregation and Reporting Levels:Performance will be evaluated at the lowest level of disaggregation defined in Exhibit B of the SGAT on a CLEC-aggregated or other-aggregated basis such that performance is evaluated for the purposes of administering the Reinstatement/Removal Process on a statewide or regionwide level,as applicable per the PID. 3.3.2 Retroactive Payments:To calculate retroactive payments for the sub- measures reinstated,PAP payment mechanisms will be applied to the three consecutive months in which the standard was missed,which triggered reinstatement.These retroactive payments will be made to applicable CLECs, depending at the end of the third month after the month in which performance triggered re-instatement. 3.3.2.1 Accounting for Payments:In support of retroactive payments (section 3.3.2 above),CenturyLink QC will account separately for PAP payments that would have been made to individual CLECs for a sub- measure as though it had been subject to the PAP payment mechanisms,where automatic reinstatement applies,and account separately in the same manner for the time between when it is determined that a sub-measure met the standard for automatic removal and the effective date of removal (the month following the three consecutive “met”months).With regard to sub-measures that are subsequently removed again through this process,any PAP payments made during the three consecutive months which triggers automatic removal will not be recovered by CenturyLink QC. 3.3.2.2 Interest:In the case of automatic reinstatement,retroactive payments will include interest calculated at the prime rate as reported in the Wa/I Street Journal from the date a payment would have been made to the date the payment is actually made. 3.3.2.3 Tracking:CenturyLink QC will track and report service and payment results,including retroactive and avoided (i.e.,during periods CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17, 2010 -3- DocuSign Envelope ID DFF58O4C-4659-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 Exhibit K of removal)PAP payments and the disposition of the avoided payments on a CLEC,PID sub-measure and aggregate basis each month. 3.3.3 Public Website:CenturyLink QC will maintain a public website showing the PAP status of each PID or sub-measure with respect to the applicability of the PAP payment mechanisms (i.e.,reinstated or removed), which eliminates the requirement to make filings with the Commission to modify the PAP due to the application of the PID Reinstatement/Removal Process. 4.0 Statistical Measurement 4.1 CenturyLink QC uses a statistical test,namely the modified “z-test,”for evaluating the difference between two means (i.e.,CenturyLink QC and CLEC service or repair intervals)or two percentages (e.g.,CenturyLink QC and CLEC proportions),to determine whether a parity condition exists between the results for CenturyLink QC and the CLEC(s).The modified z-tests shall be applicable if the number of data points are greater than 30 for a given measurement.For testing measurements for which the number of data points are 30 or less,CenturyLink QC will use a permutation test to determine the statistical significance of the difference between CenturyLink QC and CLEC. 4.2 CenturyLink QC shall be in conformance when the monthly performance results for parity measurements (whether in the form of means,percents,or proportions and at the equivalent level of disaggregation)are such that the calculated z-test statistics are not greater than the critical z-values as listed in Table I,section 5.0. 4.3 CenturyLink QC shall be in conformance with benchmark measurements when the monthly performance result equals or exceeds the benchmark,if a higher value means better performance,and when the monthly performance result equals or is less than the benchmark if a lower value means better performance. The formula for determining parity using the modified z-test is: z =DIFF I Where: DIFF =McflJ.jkDc —Mc McENTuRLINKQc =CenturyLink QC average or proportion MCLEC =CLEC average or proportion =square root [a2CenturyLink QC (1/n CLEC +1/n certuryLinkcC)] CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17, 2010 -4- .

In calculating the difference between CenturyLink QC and CLEC performance,the above formula applies when a larger CenturyLink QC value indicates a better level of performance.In cases where a smaller CenturyLink QC value indicates a higher level of performance,the order is reversed,i.e.,MCLEC-MCENTuRvI.,JKQc. 4.3.1 For parity measurements where the number of data points is 30 or less, CenturyLink QC will apply a permutation test to test for statistical significance. Permutation analysis will be applied to calculate the z-statistic using the following logic: Calculate the modified z-statistic for the actual arrangement of the data Pool and mix the CLEC and CenturyLink QC data sets Perform the following 1000 times: Randomly subdivide the pooled data sets into two pools,one the same size as the original CLEC data set (ncEc)and one reflecting the remaining data points,and one reflecting the remaining data points, (which is equal to the size of the original CenturyLink QC data set or ncNTuRyLINK cc). Compute and store the modified z-test score (Zs)for this sample. Count the number of times the z-statistic for a permutation of the data is greater than the actual modified z-statistic Compute the fraction of permutations for which the statistic for the rearranged data is greater than the statistic for the actual samples If the fraction is greater than a,the significance level of the test,the hypothesis of no difference is not rejected,and the test is passed.The a shall be .05 when the critical z value is 1.645 and .15 when the critical z value is 1.04. 5.0 Critical Z-Value 5.1 The following table shall be used to determine the critical z-value that is referred to in section 6.0.It is based on the monthly business volume of the CLEC for the particular performance measurements for which statistic testing is being performed.

For purposes of determining consecutive month misses,1.645 shall be used.Where performance measurements disaggregate to zone 1 and zone 2,the zones shall be combined for purposes of statistical testing. 6.0 Payments to CLEC 6.1 Payments to CLEC shall be made solely for the performance measurements listed on Attachment 1 or in section 6.3.The payment amount for non-conforming service varies depending upon the designation of performance measurements as High,Medium,and Low and the duration of the non-conforming service condition as described below.Non-conforming service is defined in section 4.0. 6.1.1 Determination of Non-Conforming Measurements:The number of performance measurements that are determined to be non-conforming and, therefore,eligible for payments,are limited according to the critical z-value shown in Table 1,section 5.0.The critical z-values are the statistical standard that determines for each CLEC performance measurement whether CenturyLink QC has met parity. The critical z-value is selected from Table 1 according to the monthly CLEC volume for the performance measurement.For instance,if the CLEC sample size for that month is 100,the critical z-value is 1 .645 for the statistical testing of that parity performance measurement. 6.2 Determination of the Amount of Payment:Payments to CLEC,except as provided for in sections 6.2.3,6.3 and 10.0,are calculated and paid monthly based on the number of performance measurements exceeding the critical z-value. Payments will be made on either a per occurrence or per measurement basis, depending upon the performance measurement,using the dollar amounts specified in Table 2 below.The dollar amounts vary depending upon whether the performance CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K.December 17, 2010 -6- .

CenturyLink QC for the month in question and the critical z-value from Table 1 in section 5.0 that shall be used for purposes of statistical testing for each particular performance measurement.The statistical testing procedures described in section 4.0 shall be applied.For the purpose of determining the critical z-values,each disaggregated category of a performance measurement is treated as a separate sub- measurement.The critical z-value to be applied is determined by the CLEC volume at each level of disaggregation or sub-measurement. 8.2 Performance Measurements for which Payment is Per Occurrence: 8.2.1 Performance Measurements that are Averages or Means: 8.2.1.1 Step 1:For each performance measurement,the average or the mean that would yield the critical z-value shall be calculated.The same denominator as the one used in calculating the z-statistic for the measurement shall be used.(Forbenchmarkmeasurements,the benchmark value shall be used.) 8.2.1.2 Step 2:The

calculated.The same denominator as the one used in calculating the z-statistic for the measurement shall be used.(For benchmark measurements,the benchmark value shall be used.) 8.2.2.2 Step 2:The difference between the actual percentages for the CLEC and the calculated percentages shall be determined. 8.2.2.3 Step 3:For each performance measurement,the total number of data points shall be multiplied by the difference in percentage calculated in the previous step, and the per occurrence dollar amount taken from the Payment Table,to determine the payment to the CLEC for each non-conforming performance measurement. 8.2.3 Performance Measurements that are Ratios or Proportions: 8.2.3.1 Step 1:For each performance measurement the ratio that would yield the critical z-value shall be calculated.The same denominator as the one used in calculating the z-statistic for the measurement shall be used.(For benchmark measurements,the benchmark value shall be used.) 8.2.3.2 Step 2:The absolute difference between the actual rate for the CLEC and the calculated rate shall be determined. 8.2.3.3 Step 3:For each performance measurement,the total number of data points shall be multiplied by the difference calculated in the previous step,and the per occurrence dollar amount taken from the Payment Table,to determine the payment to the CLEC for each non-conforming performance measurement. 8.3 Performance Measurements for which Payment is Per Measure: 8.3.1 For each performance measurement where CenturyLink QC fails to meet the standard,the payment to the CLEC shall be the

100,the provisions of this section shall not apply to the qualifying performance sub-measurement. 10.2 The determination of whether CenturyLink QC has met the parity or benchmark standards will be made using aggregate volumes of CLECs participating in the PAP.In the event CenturyLink QC does not meet the applicable performance standards,a total payment to affected CLECs will be determined in accordance with the high,medium,low designation for each performance measurement (see Attachment 1)and as described in section 8.0,except that CLEC aggregate volumes will be used.In the event the calculated total payment amount to CLECs is less than $5,000,a minimum payment of $5,000 shall be made.The resulting total payment amount to CLECs will be apportioned to the affected CLECs based upon each CLEC’s relative share of the number of total service misses. 10.3 At the six (6)-month reviews,CenturyLink QC will consider adding to the above list of qualifying performance sub-measurements,new products disaggregation representing new modes of CLEC entry into developing markets. 11.0 Payment 11.1 Payments to CLEC shall be made one month following the due date of the performance measurement

would have earned. 11.3.4 Under the prior Idaho PAP,Qwest established an Idaho Discretionary Fund as a separate interest bearing escrow account.The Commission shall appoint a person designated to administer and authorize disbursements of funds from the Discretionary Fund.Disbursements from the Discretionary Fund shall be limited to competitively neutral Idaho telecommunications initiatives.The costs of the Discretionary Fund will paid for from the account’s funds. 12.0 Cap on Payments 12.1 There shall be a cap on the total payments made by CenturyLink QC for a 12 month period beginning with the effective date of the PAP for the State of Idaho.The annual cap for the State of Idaho shall be 36%of ARMIS Net Return,recalculated each year based upon the prior year’s Idaho ARMIS results,subject to any applicable adjustment permitted pursuant to section 12.2.CenturyLink QC shall submit to the Commission the calculation of each year’s cap no later than 30 days after submission of ARMIS results to the FCC.CLEC agrees that this amount constitutes a maximum annual cap that shall apply to the aggregate total of liquidated damages,including any such damages paid pursuant to this Agreement,any other interconnection agreement,or any other payments made for the same underlying activity or omission under any other contract,order or rule or payments made by CenturyLink QC for the same underlying activity or omission under any other contract,order or rule. 12.2 The 36%annual cap may be increased to 44%or decreased to 30%of ARMIS Net Return as follows: 12.2.1 An increase in the cap of a maximum of 4 percentage points at any one time (i.e.,first to 40 percent)shall occur upon order by the Commission if the cap has been exceeded for any consecutive period of 24 months by that same 4 percent or more,provided that:(a)the Commission has determined that the preponderance of the evidence shows CenturyLink QC could have remained beneath the cap through reasonable and prudent effort,and (b)the Commission has made that determination CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17, 2010 -12- Docu Sign Envelope ID:DFF58O4C-4659-424C-8F66-D694E79EA706 Exhibit K after having available to it on the record the results of audits and root cause analyses,and provided an opportunity for CenturyLink QC to be heard. 12.2.2 A decrease in the cap of a maximum of 4 percentage points at any one time shall occur upon order by the Commission after performance for any consecutive period of 24 months in which total payments are 8 or more percentage points below the cap amount,provided that:(a)the Commission has determined that the preponderance of the evidence shows the performance results underlying those payments results from an adequate CenturyLink QC commitment to meeting its responsibilities to provide adequate wholesale service and to keeping open its local markets and (b)the Commission shall have made that determination after providing all interested parties an opportunity to be heard. 12.2.3 The provisions of 12.2.1 and 12.2.2 shall be in effect for the next 24 month period commencing with the end of the 24 month period upon which the Commission’s order is based. 12.3 if the annual cap is reached,each CLEC shall,as of the end of the year,be entitled to receive the same percentage of its total calculated payments.In order to preserve the operation of the annual cap,the percentage equalization shall take place as follows: 12.3.1 The amount by which any month’s total year-to-date payment exceeds the cumulative monthly cap (defined as 1112th of the annual cap times the cumulative number of months to date)shall be calculated.The apportionment resulting of this calculation shall be known as the “Tracking Account.” 12.3.2 The apportionment shall be debited against the monthly payment due to each CLEC,by applying to the year-to-date payments received by each the percentage necessary to generate the required total payment amount. 12.3.3 The Tracking Amount shall be apportioned among all CLECs so as to provide each with payments equal in percentage of its total year to date payment calculations. 12.3.4 This calculation shall take place in the first month that the year-to-date total payments are expected to exceed the cumulative monthly cap and for each month of that year thereafter.CenturyLink QC shall recover any debited amounts by reducing payments due to any CLEC for that month and any succeeding months,as necessary. 13.0 Limitations 13.1 The PAP shall not become available in the State unless and until CenturyLink QC receives effective section 271 authority from the FCC for that State.

CenturyLink QC will provide notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event within 72 hours of the time CenturyLink QC learns of the event or within a reasonable time frame that CenturyLink QC should have learned of it;2)an act or omission by a CLEC that is contrary to any of its obligations under its interconnection agreement with CenturyLink QC or under federal or state law;an act or omission by CLEC that is in bad faith.Examples of bad faith conduct include,but are not limited to: unreasonably holding service orders and/or applications,“dumping”orders or applications in unreasonably large batches,dumping”orders or applications at or near the close of a business day,on a Friday evening or prior to a holiday,and failing to provide timely forecasts to CenturyLink QC for services or facilities when such forecasts are explicitly required by the SGAT;3)problems associated with third-party systems or equipment,which could not have been avoided by CenturyLink QC in the exercise of reasonable diligence,provided however,that this third party exclusion will not be raised in the State more than three times within a calendar year.If a Force Majeure event or other excusing event recognized in this section merely suspends CenturyLink QC’s ability to timely perform an activity subject to a performance measurement that is an interval measure,the applicable time frame in which CenturyLink QC’s compliance with the parity or benchmark criterion is measured will be extended on an hour-for-hour or day-for-day basis,as applicable, equal to the duration of the excusing event. 13.3.1 CenturyLink QC will not be excused from payments for any reason except as described in Section 13.0.CenturyLink QC will have the burden of demonstrating that its non-conformance with the performance measurement was excused on one of the grounds described in this PAP.A party may petition the Commission to require CenturyLink QC to deposit disputed payments into an escrow account when the requesting party can show cause,such as grounds provided in the Uniform Commercial Code for cases of commercial uncertainty. 13.3.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of section 13 of this QPAP,CenturyLink QC shall not be excused for failing to provide such performance that CenturyLink QC could reasonably have been expected to deliver assuming that it had designed, implemented,staffed,provisioned,and otherwise provided for resources reasonably required to meet foreseeable volumes and patterns of demands upon its resources by CLECs.

Docu Sign Envelope ID.DFF58O4C-4659-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 Exhibit K 13.4 CenturyLink QC’s agreement to implement these enforcement terms,and specifically its agreement to pay any ‘liquidated damages”or “assessments” hereunder,will not be considered as an admission against interest or an admission ofliabilityinanylegal,regulatory,or other proceeding relating in whole or in part to the same performance. 13.4.1 CLEC may not use:1)the existence of this enforcement plan;or 2) CenturyLink QC’s payment of “liquidated damages”as evidence that CenturyLink QC has discriminated in the provision of any facilities or services under Sections 251 or 252,or has violated any state or federal law or regulation.CenturyLink QC’s conduct underlying its performance measures,however are not made inadmissible by its terms. 13.4.2 By accepting this performance remedy plan,CLEC agrees that CenturyLink QC’s performance with respect to this remedy plan may not be used as an admission of liability or culpability for a violation of any state or federal law or regulation. (Nothing herein is intended to preclude CenturyLink QC from introducing evidence of any “liquidated damages”under these provisions for the purpose of offsetting the payment against any other damages or payments a CLEC might recover.)The terms of this paragraph do not apply to any proceeding before the Commission or the FCC to determine whether CenturyLink QC has met or continues to meet the requirements of section 271 of the Act. 13.5 By incorporating these liquidated damages terms into the PAP,CenturyLink QC and CLEC accepting this PAP agree that proof of damages from any non conforming performance measurement would be difficult to ascertain and,therefore, liquidated damages are a reasonable approximation of any contractual damages that may result from a non-conforming performance measurement.CenturyLink QC and CLEC further agree that payments made pursuant to this PAP are not intended to be a penalty.The application of the assessments and damages provided for herein is not intended to foreclose other non-contractual legal and non-contractual regulatory claims and remedies that may be available to a CLEC. 13.6 This PAP contains a comprehensive set of performance measurements, statistical methodologies,and payment mechanisms that are designed to function together,and only together,as an integrated whole.To elect the PAP,CLEC must adopt the PAP in its entirety,in its interconnection agreement with CenturyLink QC. By electing remedies under the PAP,CLEC waives any causes of action based on a contractual theory of liability,and any right of recovery under any other theory of liability (including but not limited to a state utility regulatory commission or Federal Communications Commission rule or order)to the extent such recovery is related to harm compensable under a contractual theory of liability (even though it is sought through a non-contractual claim,theory,or cause of action). 13.7 If for any reason a CLEC agreeing to this QPAP is awarded compensation for the same harm for which it received payment under the QPAP,the court or other CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17, 2010 -15- DocuSign Envelope ID:DFF58O4C-4659-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 Exhibit K adjudicatory body hearing such a claim may offset the damages resulting from such claim against payments made for the same harm. 13.8 [BLANK] 13.9 Whenever a CenturyLink QC payment to an individual CLEC exceeds $3 million in a month,CenturyLink QC may commence a proceeding to demonstrate why it should not be required to pay any amount in excess of the $3 million.Upon timely commencement of the proceeding,CenturyLink QC must pay the balance of payments owed in excess of 83 million into escrow,to be held by a third-party pending the outcome of the proceeding.To invoke these escrow provisions, CenturyLink QC must file,not later than the due date of the payments,its application. CenturyLink QC will have the burden of proof to demonstrate why,under the circumstances,it would be unjust to require it to make the payments in excess of $3 million.If CenturyLink QC reports non-conforming performance to CLEC for three consecutive months on 20%or more of the measurements reported to CLEC and has incurred no more than $1 million in liability to CLEC,then CLEC may commence a similar proceeding.In any such proceeding CLEC will have the burden of proof to demonstrate why,under the circumstances,justice requires CenturyLink QC to make payments in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to the terms of the PAP.The disputes identified in this section shall be resolved in a manner specified in the Dispute Resolution section of the SGAT with the CLEC. 14.0 Reporting 14.1 Upon receiving effective section 271 authority from the FCC for a state, CenturyLink QC will provide CLEC that has an approved interconnection agreement with CenturyLink QC,a monthly report of CenturyLink QC’s performance for the measurements identified in the PAP by the last day of the month following the month for which performance results are being reported.However,CenturyLink QC shall have a grace period of five business days,so that CenturyLink QC shall not be deemed out of compliance with its reporting obligations before the expiration of the five business day grace period.CenturyLink QC will collect,analyze,and report performance data for the measurements listed on Attachment 1 in accordance with the most recent version of the PIDs.Upon CLEC’s request,data files of the CLEC’s raw data,or any subset thereof,will be transmitted,without charge,to CLEC in a mutually acceptable format,protocol,and transmission medium. 14.2 CenturyLink QC will also provide the Commission a monthly report of aggregate CLEC performance results pursuant to the PAP by the last day of the month following the month for which performance results are being reported. However,CenturyLink QC shall have a grace period of five business days,so that CenturyLink QC shall not be deemed out of compliance with its reporting obligations before the expiration of the five business day grace period.Individual CLEC reports of participating CLECs will also be available to the Commission upon request.By accepting this PAP,CLEC consents to CenturyLink QC providing CLEC’s report and CenturyLink QO Idaho SCAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17, 2010 15- .

CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17,2010 -17- DocuSign Envelope ID:DFF58O4C-4659-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 . Exhibit K 15.1.1 The participating Commissions shall form an oversight committee of Commissioners who will choose the independent auditor and approve the audit plan. Any disputes as to the choice of auditor or the scope of the audit shall be resolved through a vote of the chairs of the participating commissions pursuant to Section 15.1.4. 15.1.2 The audit plan shall be conducted over two years.The audit plan will identify the specific performance measurements to be audited,the specific tests to be conducted,and the entity to conduct them.The audit plan will give priority to auditing the higher risk areas identified in the OSS report.The two-year cycle will examine risks likely to exist across that period and the past history of testing,in order to determine what combination of high and more moderate areas of risk should be examined during the two-year cycle.The first year of a two-year cycle will concentrate on areas most likely to require follow-up in the second year. 15.1.3 The audit plan shall be coordinated with other audit plans that may be conducted by other state commissions so as to avoid duplication,shall not impede CenturyLink QC’s ability to comply with the other provisions of the PAP and should be of a nature and scope that can be conducted in accordance with the reasonable course of CenturyLink QC’s business operations. 15.1.4 Any dispute arising out of the audit plan,the conduct of the audit,or audit results shall be resolved by the oversight committee of Commissioners.Decisions of the oversight committee of Commissioners may be appealed to a committee of the chairs of the participating Commissions. 15.2 CenturyLink QC may make management processes more accurate or more efficient to perform without sacrificing accuracy.These changes are at CenturyLink QC’s discretion but will be reported to the independent auditor in quarterly meetings in which the auditor may ask questions about changes made in the CenturyLink QC measurement regimen.The meetings,which will be limited to CenturyLink QC and the independent auditor,will permit an independent assessment of the materiality and propriety of any CenturyLink QC changes,including,where necessary,testing of the change details by the independent auditor.The information gathered by the independent auditor may be the basis for reports by the independent auditor to the participating Commissions and,where the Commissions deem it appropriate,to other participants. 15.3 In the event of a disagreement between CenturyLink QC and CLEC as to any issue regarding the accuracy or integrity of data collected,generated,and reported pursuant to the PAP,CenturyLink QC and the CLEC shall first consult with one another and attempt in good faith to resolve the issue.If an issue is not resolved within 45 days after a request for consultation,CLEC and CenturyLink QC may,upon a demonstration of good cause,(e.g.,evidence of material errors or discrepancies) request an independent audit to be conducted,at the initiating party’s expense.The independent auditor will assess the need for an audit based upon whether there CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17, 2010 -18- . DocuSign Envelope ID:DFF58O4C-4659-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 Exhibit K exists a material deficiency in the data or whether there exists an issue not otherwise addressed by the audit plan for the current cycle.The dispute resolution provision of section 18.0 is available to any party questioning the independent auditor’s decision to conduct or not conduct a CLEC requested audit and the audit findings,should such an audit be conducted.An audit may not proceed until dispute resolution is completed.Audit findings will include:(a)general applicability of findings and conclusions (i.e.,relevance to CLECs or jurisdictions other than the ones causing test initiation),(b)magnitude of any payment adjustments required and,(c)whether cost responsibility should be shifted based upon the materiality and clarity of any CenturyLink QC non-conformance with measurement requirements (no pre determined variance is appropriate,but should be based on the auditors professional judgment).CLEC may not request an audit of data more than three years from the later of the provision of a monthly credit statement or payment due date. 15.4 Expenses for the audit of the PAP and any other related expenses,except that which may be assigned under section 15.3,shall be paid first from any residual Tier 2 funds remaining in the Special Fund.For Idaho,the remainder of the audit expenses will be paid by CenturyLink QC. 16.0 Reviews 16.1 Every six (6)months,beginning six months after the effective date of section 271 approval by the FCC for the state of Idaho,CenturyLink QC,CLECs,or the Idaho Public Utilities Commission may initiate a review of the performance measurements to determine whether measurements should be added,deleted,or modified;whether the applicable benchmark standards should be modified or replaced by parity standards;and whether to move a classification of a measurement to High,Medium,or Low,Tier.The criterion for reclassification of a measurement shall be whether the actual volume of data points was less or greater than anticipated.Criteria for review of performance measurements,other than for possible reclassification,shall be whether there exists an omission or failure to capture intended performance,and whether there is duplication of another measurement.Any disputes regarding adding,deleting,or modifying performance measurements shall be resolved pursuant to a proceeding before the Commission and subject to judicial review.No new performance measurements shall be added to this PAP that have not been subject to observation as diagnostic measurements for a period of 6 months.Any changes made at the six-month review pursuant to this section shall apply to and modify this agreement between CenturyLink QC and CLEC,subject to a stay,modification or reversal upon appeal or judicial review. 16.1.1 Notwithstanding section 16.1,if any agreements on adding,modifying or deleting performance measurements as permitted by section 16.1 are reached between CenturyLink QC and CLECs participating in an industry Regional Oversight Committee (ROC)PID administration forum,those agreements shall be incorporated into the QPAP and modify the agreement between CLEC and CenturyLink QC at any CenturyLink QC Idaho SGAT Third Revised,Seventh Amended Exhibit K,December 17, 2010 -19- DocuSign Envelope ID DFF58O4C-4659-4E4C-8F66-D694E79EA706 a Exhibit K time those agreements are submitted to the Commission,whether before or after a six-month review. 161.2 For the first twelve months that any changes made pursuant to paragraphs 16.1 or 16.1.1 are in effect,CenturyLink QCs liability for such changes shall be limited to 10%of the monthly payments that CenturyLink QC would have made absent the effect of such changes as a whole.This provision shall be referred as “the 10%payment collar.”Such payment limitation shall be accomplished by factoring the payments resulting from the changes to ensure that such payments remain within 10%of the payments CenturyLink QC would have made absent such changes. 16.1.3 In the event that the Commission adds,modifies,or reclassifies a performance measurement that has not been agreed upon in the ROC PID administration forum process in 16.1.1,the 10%payment collar shall remain in effect unless removed by the Commission pursuant to this section.If,after a minimum of 6 months of payments to a CLEC,CenturyLink QC’s payments have been limited by the 10%payment collar to 8O%or less of what the total payments would have been absent the collar for the preceding 6-month period,the Commission may,upon motion by an affected CLEC,conduct a record proceeding to determine whether the 10%payment collar should be removed from any such performance measure.The Commission can prospectively remove the 10%collar for payments to affected CLEC(s)for any such performance measure upon a demonstration through a record proceeding and a Commission determination that the total payments to the CLEC(s) under the QPAP were inadequate to compensate CLEC(s)for actual harm incurred during the same period and upon a determination that such change is otherwise necessary and appropriate and in the public interest. 16.1.4 Notwithstanding section 16.1,any party may submit a root cause analysis to the Commission requesting removal of a PID or sub-measure from the PAP or requesting exemption of a PID or sub-measure from the application of the trigger mechanism for reinstatement or subsequent removal.In the analysis and recommendations concerning the root cause analysis,the Commission is to consider, at a minimum,whether the root cause analysis provides evidence of no harm,the same harm as covered by other PID measures,non-CenturyLink QC related causes, or other factors which directly relate to the harm or circumstances specific to the PID or sub-measure being analyzed. 16.2 Two years after the effective date of the first FCC 271 approval of the PAP, the participating Commissions may conduct a joint review by a independent third party to examine the continuing effectiveness of the PAP as a means of inducing compliant performance.This review shall not be used to open the PAP generally to amendment,but would serve to assist Commissions in determining existing conditions and reporting to the FCC on the continuing adequacy of the PAP to serve its intended functions.The expense of the reviews shall be paid from the Special Fund.
