Jurisdictional Determinant Pursuant to Federal Communications Commission order F.C.C. 85-145 adopted April 16, 1985, interstate usage is to be developed as though every call that enters a customer network at a point within the same state as that in which the called station (as designated by the called station number) is situated is an intrastate communication and every call for which the point of entry is in a state other than that where the called station (as designated by the called station number) is situated is an interstate communication. To determine the jurisdiction of a call, the Company compares the originating number information with the terminating number information. Traffic without sufficient call detail shall be that traffic for which the originating number information lacks a valid Charge Party Number or Calling Party Number.

Feature Group D (FGD) - Originating Service When a customer orders FGD Switched Access Service, where the jurisdiction is determined from the call detail, the Company will develop the projected PIU factor according to such jurisdiction. The projected interstate percentage is developed on a monthly basis, by end office, when the originating FGD access minutes are measured, by dividing the measured interstate originating access minutes by the total originating access minutes. 2. Feature Group D (FGD) - Terminating Service When a customer orders terminating FGD, if the Company has sufficient call details to determine the jurisdiction for the call, the Company will bill the call minutes of use according to that jurisdiction. When terminating call details are insufficient to determine the jurisdiction for the call, the customer may supply the projected PIU factor by State[1]. The projected PIU factor will be used to apportion the terminating call minutes for which call details were insufficient to determine jurisdiction between the interstate and intrastate jurisdictions. When terminating call details are insufficient to determine the jurisdiction, and the customer does not supply a projected PIU factor by State, calls will be billed using a PIU of 50 (50% interstate – 50% intrastate).

The customer may update the PIU factor via jurisdictional report on a quarterly basis. The customer shall report the PIU factor by traffic and service type by State. The customer shall forward to the Company a revised report, to be received no later than fourteen (14) days after the first of January, April, July and October. The revised report shall show the PIU factor for the most current data available, for each service arranged for interstate use. This data shall consist of at least three (3) and no more than twelve (12) consecutive months' of data, ending no more than seventy-five (75) days earlier than the date the report is due (e.g., for the report due January 15th, the last month of data should be no earlier than October 31st). The updated PIU factor shall be based on call detail records. The PIU factor can be based on a statistically valid sample. The PIU factor reported in January, April, July and October will be effective on the bill date of each such month and will serve as the basis for subsequent monthly billing pending the receipt of a revised PIU report. b. No prorating or back billing will be done based on the jurisdictional report. However, usage will be billed utilizing the interstate percentage that was in effect at the time the usage was generated. c. The customer shall maintain and retain the work papers that show how the interstate percentage was determined and a summary derived from the actual call detail records for a minimum twelve (12) month period which statistically substantiates each interstate percentage provided to the Company. This summary at a minimum shall include month, year, state, traffic type (e.g., originating, terminating, 8XX, etc.) and service type.

Such call detail records shall consist of call information, including call terminating address (i.e., called number), call duration, the trunk group number(s), or access line number(s) over which the call is routed and the point at which the call enters the customer's network. The Company will not request such data more than once a year. e. If quarterly reports are not supplied by the customer, the following steps will be taken by the Company: (1) If the customer does not supply the reports, the Company will assume the PIU factors to be the same as those provided in the last quarterly report.

When jurisdictional reports are not provided by the customer or a billing dispute arises, the Company may request an audit. The audit procedures and responsible party(ies) for payment of audit expenses will be determined as follows: • If the Company and the customer mutually agree upon an independent auditing firm and the party(ies) agree to equally share in the payment of audit expenses, both the Company and the customer will be bound by such agreement; or • The customer may select an independent auditing firm and pay all audit expenses. • If the audit is not conducted as set forth preceding, the Company may select an independent auditing firm and pay all expenses. h. The Company will adjust the customer's PIU based upon the audit results. The PIU resulting from the audit shall be applied to the usage for the quarter the audit is completed, the usage for the quarter prior to completion of the audit and the usage for the two (2) quarters following the completion of the audit. After that time, the customer may report a revised PIU pursuant to C., preceding.

In the event that the customer has provided a separate percent interstate use for terminating access for FGD, the projected PIU factor for originating access minutes of use will be used to determine the apportionment of charges. 2.

When the service is terminated, the amount of the initial or additional deposit, with any interest due, will be credited to the customer's account and any credit balance which may remain will be refunded. After an existing customer has established satisfactory credit, the amount of the deposit, with any interest due, will be either credited to the account or at the option of the customer, refunded.

The Switched Transport rate category provides the transmission facilities between the customer’s premises and a LEC tandem. Switched Transport is a two-way voice-frequency transmission path composed of an Entrance Facility (EF) and a Direct-Trunked Transport (DTT) facility to the tandem and Tandem-Switched Transport (TST) from the tandem to the subtending end offices. The transmission path permits the transport of calls in the originating direction (from the end user’s end office switch to the customer’s premises) and in the terminating direction (from the customer’s premises to the end office switch), but not simultaneously. The voice-frequency transmission path may be comprised of any form or configuration of plant capable of and typically used in the telecommunications industry for the transmission of voice and associated telephone signals within the frequency bandwidth of approximately 300 to 3000 Hz. Switched Transport is provided at the rates and charges set forth in Section 6.8, following. The application of these rates with respect to the different types of service is as set forth in 6.7.1, following.

Generally, service levels are considered acceptable only when Company end users and customers are able to establish connections with little or no delay encountered within the Company network. The Company maintains the right to apply protective controls, i.e., those actions, such as call gapping, which selectively cancel the completion of traffic, over any traffic carried over its network, including that associated with a customer's Switched Access Service. Generally, such protective measures would only be taken as a result of occurrences such as failure or overload of Company or customer facilities, natural disasters, mass calling or national security demands.

These charges are set forth in Section 6.8, following. 1. Installation of Service Nonrecurring charges apply for the installation of the individual Feature Group trunk. a. Switched Access Service is ordered on a trunk basis, the nonrecurring charge is applied per trunk. If a customer orders multiple trunks on the same Access Order, the first trunk is assessed the "first" installation charge and each additional trunk is assessed the "each additional" installation charge per Access Order. b. Nonrecurring charges for FGD Switched Access Service include one Carrier Identification Code (CIC) on an initial Access Order. The CIC is a uniform numeric code that identifies the customer associated with the Switched Access Service. The customer of the initial CIC is the customer of record for the Switched Access Service.
