The term "Equal Level Echo Path Loss" (ELEPL) represents the measure of Echo Path Loss (EPL) at a four-wire interface which is corrected by the difference between the send and receive Transmission Level Point (TLP), i.e., ELEPL = EPL – TLP (send) + TLP (receive). Improved ELEPL rates and charges will apply on a per SAL basis at the rates set forth in 5.7.2 following. Technical parameters are specified in the Company’s Technical Interface Reference Manual. 5.5 Description of Multiplexing Arrangements Multiplexing Arrangements provide the function to convert a single higher capacity or bandwidth circuit for bulk transport to several lower capacity or bandwidth circuits. Cascading multiplexing occurs when a high capacity analog or digital channel is de-multiplexed to provide channels with a lesser capacity and one of the lesser capacity channels is further de-multiplexed. For example, a DS1C may be de-multiplexed to two DS1 facilities and then the DS1 facilities may be further de~multiplexed to 24 Voiceband channels. When cascading multiplexing is performed in the same or different Hub Wire Center, a charge for the additional multiplexing unit will also apply. When cascading multiplexing is performed at a different Hub Wire Center, Special Transport will also apply between the involved Hub Wire Centers. Listed below are the multiplexing arrangements offered under this Price List.

Minimum periods and minimum period charges are described in Section 3 preceding. 5.6.3 Mileage Measurement The mileage to be used to determine the monthly rate for the Special Transport is calculated on the airline distance between the serving wire centers involved (i.e., CDL serving wire center or Hub Wire Center). Where the calculated miles include a fraction, the value is always rounded up to the next full mile. Where the calculated value is zero, no Special Transport mileage is charged. When there is a Hub Wire Center involved, the Special Transport mileage will be measured from the Hub Wire Center to the serving wire centers of each of the CDLs connected to the hubbed facilities. Mileage is computed for each section and rates are applied accordingly. However, when a Special Access facility is routed through a Hub Wire Center for purposes other than customer specified such as bridging or multiplexing (e.g. the Company chooses to so route for test access purposes), rates will be applied only to the distance calculated between the wire centers serving the CDLs. The rates for the mileage are applied per airline mile. The serving wire center V&H coordinates and the method of calculation are specified in the NECA FCC Tariff.

A new minimum period will be established for the installed Special Access Service. The customer will remain responsible for all minimum period charges associated with the disconnected Special Access Service. A move normally involves an interruption of Special Access for the period required to complete the move. No credit allowance will be granted for that period. A customer may request that Special Access not be interrupted during a move. To comply with that request, it may be necessary to install a duplicate Special Access, and subsequently discontinue the existing Special Access. Charges, monthly and nonrecurring, will apply for the duplicate Special Access. A new minimum period will be established for the duplicate portion of the Special Access, depending on which end of the Special Access is moved.

Bridging is used to connect three or more CDLs in a multipoint arrangement. The multiplexing arrangements channelize analog or digital facilities to individual services requiring a lower capacity or bandwidth. Although Hub Wire Centers are defined as serving wire centers at which bridging or multiplexing arrangements are performed, they are not limited to providing these functions and may provide any other types of Special Access services offered in this Price List. For example, the Company will designate certain Hub Wire Centers for Program Audio service offerings. The Company will designate the Hub Wire Center locations. Different locations may be designated as Hub Wire Centers for different functions, such as bridging or multiplexing arrangements, for different facility capacities (e.g., multiplexing from digital to digital may occur at one wire center while multiplexing from digital to analog may occur at a different wire center). The location of Hub Wire Centers and the types of hubbing functions offered at that location are identified in the NECA FCC Tariff. Some of the types of multiplexing provided include the following: - from higher to lower bit rate, - from higher to lower bandwidth, - from digital to voice grade service.

SPECIAL ACCESS (Cont'd) 5.6 Rate Regulations (Cont'd) 5.6.6 Hub Wire Centers (Cont’d) The transmission performance for the end to end Special Access provided from CDLs will be that of the lower capacity or bit rate. For example, when a DS1 Special Access is multiplexed to voice frequency circuits, the transmission performance will be Voiceband, not High Capacity. The Company will commence billing the monthly rate for the Special Access Line and Special Transport for the High Capacity facility to the Hub Wire Center as of the service date, even though individual services utilizing those facilities may not be installed until a later date. If the customer has designated the type of multiplexing to be provided with the High Capacity facility, the nonrecurring charge for the Multiplexing Arrangement will be billed to the customer at that same time, and the billing for the monthly rate will begin. Individual Special Access rates (by Special Access type) will apply for the Special Access Line and additional Special Transport facilities (if required) for each channelized Special Access. These will be billed to the customer as each individual Special Access is installed. A customer may order full-time and/or part-time Program Audio Services between two CDLs, or between a CDL and a Hub Wire Center, and will be billed accordingly at the rates set forth in Sections 5.7.3, 5.7.4, 5.7.5 and 5.7.6 following. At the request of the customer, the full-time and/or part-time services provided to a Hub Wire Center may be connected together in the following configurations: full-time to full-time, full-time to part-time, or part-time to part-time. The rates that apply for Program Audio Services between each CDL and the Hub Wire Center are Special Transport, if applicable, and Special Access Line.

SPECIAL ACCESS (Cont'd) 5.6 Rate Regulations (Cont'd) 5.6.7 Shared Use Analog and Digital High Capacity Services (A) Shared use refers to the service arrangement where the customer orders a digital high capacity facility between a CDL and the Hub Wire Center where the Company performs multiplexing functions and the same customer then orders the derived channels as Special and Switched Access services. The High Capacity facility including the associated multiplexing arrangements will be ordered, provided and rated as Special Access service. The nonrecurring charge that applies when the shared use facility is installed will be the nonrecurring charges associated with the High Capacity facility. When the same customer orders derived channels as Switched or Special, the nonrecurring charges applicable to those individual services will be assessed. There will be no additional nonrecurring charges assessed for the High Capacity facility at the time the derived channels are ordered. The customer must place an order for each individual Switched or Special Access Service utilizing the Shared Use Facilities and specify the channel assignment for each such service. Rating as Special Access will continue until such time as the customer chooses to use a portion of the available capacity for providing Switched Access Service. As each individual channel is activated for Switched Access service, the Special Access rates will be reduced accordingly (e.g. 1/24th for a DS1 service, 1/24th for a DS1 to Voice multiplexing arrangement, etc.). Switched Access Service rates and charges, as set forth in Section 4 preceding, will apply for each channel of the shared use facility that is used to provide a Switched Access Service. The Switched Access Minimum Capacity Requirements as set forth in 3.4 preceding will not apply. (B) When Special Access Service is provided utilizing a High Capacity service to a hub wire center, High Capacity rates and charges will apply for the facility to the hub wire center, and individual service rates and charges will apply from the hub wire center to the End User. The rates and charges that will apply to the portion from the hub wire center to the End User will be dependent on the specific type of Special Access Service that is provided (e.g., Voiceband). The applicable rates and charges will include a Special Access Line and Special Transport, if applicable. Rates and charges for optional features associated with the service will also apply.

The TSP system applies only to NSEP services, includes both Switched and Special FIA and provides the Company with a guide to the sequence in which services are to be provisioned and/or restored. The Company currently has Special Access circuits classified as RP (Restoration Priority). These facilities were offered under part 64.401, subpart D, Appendix A of the FCC Rules under GEN. Docket No. 87-505 (FCC 88-341). These facilities will maintain their RP designation and priority treatment until either converted by the customer to the TSP system, or March 10, 1993, whichever occurs first. All FIA that can be identified by a unique circuit identifier, can be provisioned for NSEP service by the Company. The rates and charges associated with a customer subscribing to the TSP System are as specified in Section 6.4.7.

MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES (Cont'd) 6.4 Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System (Cont’d) 6.4.2 Obtaining TSP System Service The Executive Office of the President, through the TSP Program Office, is empowered with the authority to receive, evaluate and process requests for NSEP services. The TSP Program Office makes the priority level assignments and issues the TSP authorization code reflecting the priority assignment associated with a request. The customer provides the TSP authorization code, in addition to all the other details necessary to complete the order (ASR), to the Company to obtain TSP System Service. The TSP authorization code, assigned on a per ASR basis, consists of a 12-character field, a nine-character control ID followed by a dash and a two-character field specifying the priority level assignment. Its structure is as follows: TSPxxxxxn-yy The "x"s represent a sequence of numbers unique to each TSP authorization code and the "n" is a one character alphanumeric check digit. The first "y" contains the provisioning priority level assignment and the second "y" contains the restoration priority level assignment. 6.4.3 Provisioning Priority If the customer requires service within a shorter time interval than the Company can provide, and the requested service qualifies for NSEP, the customer may elect to invoke NSEP treatment and obtain the appropriate provisioning priority assignment from the TSP Program Office. Acceptable assignment code values are: E, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 0. The assignment of the value "E" denotes Emergency Provisioning and implies the service has the most critical provisioning requirements and the Company will respond accordingly. The e Company will take immediate action to provide the requested service at the earliest possible date. Rates and charges associated with "E" provisioning are specified in Section 6.4.7. The assignment values of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are treated as essential service priorities and the Company will adjust its available resources to meet the customer's requested due date. Rates and charges associated with invoking this priority treatment are specified in Section 6.4.7. The value "0" implies no provisioning priority.

MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES (Cont'd) 6.4 Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System (Cont'd) 6.4.4 Restoration Priority A TSP authorization code for restoration priority classifies the service as being among the nation' s most important NSEP telecommunication services. The Company will restore these services before service without restoration priority assignments in the order of priority assignments. Acceptable values are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 0 with the value "1" being the highest priority. When the Company recognizes a TSP as being out of service, unusable or upon receipt of a trouble report, available resources will be dispatched to restore the service as quickly as practicable. A priority value of 1, 2, or 3 requires dispatch outside normal business hours if necessary to restore the service. A priority value of 4 or 5 only requires dispatch outside of normal business hours if the next business day is more than 24 hours away. If the value "0" has been assigned, then no restoration priority is applicable to this service. The minimum period of service is one month. 6.4.5 Obligations of the Customer (A) In all instances, the customer is responsible for obtaining the appropriate TSP authorization code and providing that code to the Company. (B) The TSP System service customer must also be the customer for the FIA with which TSP service is associated. Only the customer or its authorized agent as indicated in a letter of agency on file with the Company is allowed to order TSP System service. (C) All points of a multi-point service configuration must have the same restoration priority assignment and must satisfy the requirements of that assignment. (D) In obtaining TSP System service, the customer consents to the release of certain information by the Company to the federal government in order to maintain and administer the TSP System. Such information includes: the customer's name, telephone number and mailing address, the TSP authorization code and the circuit or service ID number associated with the NSEP service. (E) The Company will attempt to notify the customer of expected charges. The customer, when invoking NSEP treatment, recognizes that quoting charges and obtaining permission beforehand may not be practicable and may cause unnecessary delays and, as a result, grants the Company the right to quote and bill charges after provisioning of the service. (F) During certain emergencies, the customer may request TSP assignments verbally and the Company will accept such verbal notification. The customer must submit a written order (ASR) to the e Company within two working days following the verbal request. If written order (ASR) is not received within two working days, all applicable rates and charges accumulated to date to provision TSP System service become immediately due and payable and the requested TSP priority is revoked.

The list should be in the form of magnetic tape or paper printout. 6.5.2 End User Choice Discrepancy An IC or LEC is required to certify at the time it submits end user lists to the Utility that it has on file, or has instituted steps desi ned to obtain si ned letters of a enc or confirmations of choice from the end user. The IC or LEC is not required to submit letters of agency when submitting end user lists to the Company, but should maintain the confirmations or letters on file for use in dispute resolution. The IC or LEC should request written confirmation of choice from its customers no later than the date of submission of its first bill to the customer. When an end user indicates more than one PIC or IPIC per line the Company will contact the end user for clarification. 6.5.3 PIC and IPIC Charge Applications A change of IPIC selection prior to the end office conversion to intraLATA equal access will not incur a charge. Notification of a change in a PIC or IPIC may be coordinated by the end user, end user agent or a local service provider that resells services (herein referred to as a reseller) with either the IC or LEC selected or with the Company, if it is not the selected LEC. Each existing end user, end user agent or reseller may make one IPIC change without charge at any time following the intraLATA equal access implementation. A new end user, end user agent or reseller has ninety (90) days from the date of the initial IPIC selection to make an IPIC change without charge. Any subsequent IPIC selections will incur a charge as found in 6.5.7. The Company will make post conversion changes in the end user's, end user agent's or resellers's PIC or IPIC assignment pursuant to an IC or LEC provided list of customers, accepted by the Company under conditions in 6.5.1 and 6.5.2. Should an end user, end user agent or reseller dispute authorization of the change within two years of the PIC or IPIC assignment, the Company will place the end user on the previous carrier network where possible and the carrier will be billed according to 6.5.4.

If an end user or Pay Telephone Service Provider denies requesting a change of PIC or IPIC IC as submitted by the alleged unauthorized IC, the alleged unauthorized IC will be assessed the PIC or IPIC Charge as specified in 6.5.7 for: - Changing the end user or Pay Telephone Service Provider to the disputed IC, and - Placing the end user or Pay Telephone Service Provider on their previous IC network or the IC network of their choice. In accordance with the Federal Communications Commission’s Slamming Liability Rules in FCC Docket 94-129, if an alleged unauthorized carrier is ultimately exonerated of liability, the alleged unauthorized IC is entitled to receive full payment from the end user or Pay Telephone Service Provider for all services provided. In such situations, any PIC or IPIC Charges assessed against the alleged unauthorized IC by the Company are subject to rebilling to the end user or Pay Telephone Service Provider by the alleged unauthorized IC. 6.5.5 Liability of the Company If through the fault of the Company, the end user, end user agent or reseller is not subscribed to its chosen PIC or IPIC, the nonrecurring charges in 6.5.7 do not apply to reassign the end user, end user agent or reseller to his chosen PIC or IPIC. 6.5.6 Carrier Desired Due Date (ICDDD) for PIC or IPIC Installation An IC or LEC may request a desired due date for PIC or IPIC installation for a specific, single end user, end user agent or reseller acting on behalf of an end user post equal access conversion. This ICDDD is a mutually agreed upon negotiated due date, determined to be between 3 and 45 business days from the date of receipt of the order. The carrier must coordinate the ICDDD with the Company prior to sending in the first order. The ICDDD does not apply to routine lists provided by the carrier, as described in 6.5.1 and 6.5.2. The Nonrecurring Charge for PIC or IPIC as found in 6.5.7, applies to each line converted to the carrier requesting ICDDD. This charge will be billed to the carrier's end user customer.

(2) A nonrecurring charge, as set forth in (B)(1)(b) following, applies when the request to change Presubscription is submitted through manual methods without a request to change the interLATA primary interexchange carrier (PIC) on the same line and on the same order. (3) A nonrecurring charge, as set forth in (B)(2)(a) following, applies when the request to change Presubscription is submitted through electronic methods together with a request to change the PIC on the same line and on the same order. (4) A nonrecurring charge, as set forth in (B)(2)(b) following, applies when the request to change Presubscription is submitted through manual methods together with a request to change the PIC on the same line and on the same order.

(3) For 6.5.8(A)(2) preceding, the Telephone Company will verify that the end user's line Is currently presubscribed to the carrier submitting the request. If the end user's line is currently presubscribed to the carrier submitting the request, then the Telephone Company will remove such carrier’s IPIC from the line thereby changing the end user's line IPIC designation to IPIC NONE. (B) Carrier Presubscription Charges – IPIC NONE Presubscription Charges, as described in 6.5.7 preceding, will apply to the carrier as follows: (1) When a carrier submits a request to the Telephone Company on its own behalf to remove its IPIC from an end user's line, the applicable nonrecurring charge set forth in 6.5.7 preceding applies to the carrier. (2) For 6.5.8(B)(1) preceding, the Telephone Company will verify that the end user's line Is currently presubscribed to the carrier submitting the request.

SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION (Cont'd) 10.2 Liabilities, Charges and Payments (Cont'd) 10.2.6 Types of Contingent Liability Depending on the specifics associated with each individual case the following Maximum Termination Liability may be applicable for Special Construction. (A) Maximum Termination Liability A MTL has two components, an amount and a specified period of time. The amount is equal to all nonrecoverable costs less the net salvage value (e.g., depreciation, return, income tax associated with the specially constructed facilities). The amount will be amortized over the average account life of the specially constructed facilities. The standard liability period is the average account life of the Specially Constructed facilities expressed in years. At the customer's option, an optional liability period shorter than the average account life may be established. If the customer chooses an optional liability period, the MTL amortization schedule will not change. The remaining MTL amount for the period between the expiration of the optional liability period and the expiration of the amortization schedule will be due as a lump sum payment (LS) at the time the optional liability period expires unless the case of Special Construction is extended. Prior to the expiration of an optional liability period, the customer has the option to (A) extend the use of the specially constructed FIA establishing a new liability period, or (B) terminate the case of Special Construction and pay the lump sum payment. The Company will notify the customer six months in advance of the expiration date of the optional liability period. The customer must provide the Company with written notification of its intentions to be received one month prior to expiration of the optional liability period. Failure to do so, and payment of the next month's charges, will result in extension of the case of the Special Construction and the establishment of a new liability period equal to the remaining amortization period. A Case Preparation Charge will always apply if the Special Construction case is extended. Advice No. 2 Issued: 08/05/10 Effective: 08/16/10 Issued by Frontier Communications Northwest Inc.

PRICE LIST No. 2 FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS NORTHWEST INC. Original Sheet 4 FACILITIES FOR INTRASTATE ACCESS 10. SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION (Cont'd) 10.2 Liabilities, Charges and Payments (Cont'd) 10.2.7 Types of Charges Two categories of charges may be applicable for Special Construction. These charges are nonrecurring charges and recurring charges. These categories are described below. (A) Nonrecurring Charges One or more of the following nonrecurring charges may apply for each case of Special Construction: case preparation, termination, cancellation, expediting the construction, or optional payment charges. (1) Case Preparation Charge The charge for case preparation includes the administrative expense associated with preparing the charges. (2) Termination Charge A Termination Charge applies when, at the customer's request, FIA provided on specially constructed facilities which have a Maximum Termination Liability are discontinued prior to the expiration of the liability period. The charge reflects the unamortized portion of the nonrecoverable cost at the time of termination of the specially constructed FIA adjusted for tax effects, for net salvage and for possible reuse. Administrative costs associated with the specific case of Special Construction and any cost for restoring a location to its original condition are also included. Termination Charges will never exceed the MTL. (3) Cancellation Charge If the customer cancels an ASR with which Special Construction is associated prior to the in-service date of the FIA, a Cancellation Charge will apply. The charge will include all nonrecoverable costs less the net salvage value incurred by the Company up to and including the time of cancellation. (4) Expediting Charge An Expediting Charge applies when a customer requests that Special Construction be completed on an expedited basis. The charge is equal to the difference in the estimated cost of construction on an expedited basis and construction without expediting.

SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION (Cont'd) 10.2 Liabilities, Charges and Payments (Cont'd) 10.2.7 Types of Charges (Cont'd) (A) Nonrecurring Charges (Cont'd) (5) Optional Payment Charge The customer may elect to pay an Optional Payment Charge when it requests Special Construction of facilities utilizing (1) a type of facilities or (2) a route other than that which the Company would otherwise utilize in furnishing the requested service. Payment of this charge will result in a lower recurring charge for the Special Construction. This election must be made in writing, before Special Construction starts. If this election is coupled with the actual cost option, the Optional Payment Charge will reflect the actual cost of the specially constructed facilities. (a) Development of Optional Payment Charge This charge is equal to the excess installed cost or the total nonrecoverable cost, whichever is less (based on estimated or actual costs as elected by the customer). Example 1: Total Installed Cost $ 30,000 Nonrecoverable 20,000 Normal Installed Cost 17,000 Total Installed Cost 30,000 Minus Normal Installed Cost 17,000 Equals Excess Installed Cost 13,000 Optional Payment Charge 13,000 Nonrecoverable Cost 20,000 Minus Optional Payment Charge 13,000 Equals Investment for MTL Computation 7,000 Remaining Recoverable Excess Installed Cost 0 Since the total installed cost is $30,000 and the normal installed cost would have been $17,000, the nonrecurring charge (optional payment) is limited to the difference (i.e., $13,000). A Maximum Termination Liability would then be established to protect the remaining nonrecoverable cost of $7,000 which is the difference between the total nonrecoverable cost ($20,000) and the nonrecurring charge ($13,000). The remaining excess installed cost in this example is zero. In addition, a recurring charge will be developed as set forth in 10.2.7(B).

This charge will be in the same ratio as the initial Optional Payment Charge was to the installed cost of the specially constructed FIA. The customer will be notified in writing that the replacement is required. Replacement will not be made without the customer's ASR. If any portion of the FIA subject to the replacement charge fails,the FIA will not be restored until the customer orders the replacement. Example: Original Total Installed Cost $30,000 Original Optional Payment Charge 15,000 Subsequent Cost of Replacement 2,000 Original Optional Payment Charge x Replacement Cost Total Installed Cost $15,000 x $2,000 = 1,000 $30,000 Replacement Charge 1,000 (B) Recurring Charges These charges apply on a monthly or annual basis for specially constructed FIA. There are three conditions for which recurring charges apply: - When a customer requests the construction of more facilities than are necessary to provide the FIA currently ordered. - When a customer requests a facility route or type other than that which the Company would utilize to provide FIA. When a customer's request results in the Company leasing transmission or other equipment from private vendors to provide a FIA (Lease Charge).

The charge is based on the estimated cost difference between the facilities constructed at the customer's request and the facilities actually required to meet the customer's ASR. Example: A customer has an immediate FIA requirement which would require a 100 pair cable but requests the installation of a 300 pair cable to allow for growth. Total Installed Cost (300 Pair) $ 2,500.00 Estimated Annual Cost 920.00 Estimated Installed Cost (100 Pair) 1,000.00 Estimated Annual Cost 368.00 Excess Recurring Charge: Annually $920.00 - $368.00 = 552.00 Monthly $552.00/12 = 46.00 This charge applies until such time as the customer orders sufficient FIA to necessitate use of a larger size cable (e.g., 200 pair cable).

The charge would be reapplied if the number of FIA declined to a level that would not require a 300 pair cable. Such charges will continue to apply to all facilities held in abeyance until the period of termination liability expires. If facilities are still held in abeyance after the termination liability expires, a new schedule of rates will be calculated and such rates will apply as long as facilities are held in abeyance for the customer.

The charge is the difference between the estimated recurring costs of the specially constructed FIA and the estimated recurring costs of the FIA the Company would normally use. The charge will be no greater than the recurring costs of the specially constructed FIA. (a) If the customer elects to pay an Optional Payment Charge, the portion of the recurring charge for the excess investment covered by the optional payment excludes capital cost items (depreciation, return on investment and Federal income tax on that return). The remaining recurring expense cost items associated with the optional payment (maintenance, administration, and other taxes) are increased by a ten percent management fee and will be included in the recurring charge. The portion of any recurring charge associated with any remaining Special Construction investment will include both capital and expense costs.

If the deferral is not in compliance with the provisions as set forth in 3.2.2(B), the Special Construction case is considered to be cancelled and cancellation charges apply. Requests for deferral must be in writing and are subject to the following regulations. 10.3.2 Construction Has Not Started If the Company has not incurred any costs (e.g., engineering and/or installation) before receiving the customer's request for deferral, no charge applies other than the Case Preparation Charge. However, the original quotation is subject to Company review at the time of reinstatement to determine if the original charges are still valid. Any change in liabilities and charges requires the concurrence of the customer in writing. Additional Case Preparation Charges will also apply. 10.3.3 Construction Has Started But Is Not Complete If the construction of FIA has started, but has not been completed, before the Company receives the customer's request for deferral, charges apply. The charges vary depending on whether all or some of the FIA ordered are deferred. (A) All FIA Are Deferred When all FIA involving Special Construction are deferred, a charge equal to the costs incurred during each month of the deferral applies. Those costs include the recurring costs for that portion of the FIA already completed and any other costs associated with the deferral. The Case Preparation Charge also applies. (B) Some But Not All FIA Are Deferred When some, but not all, FIA utilizing the specially constructed FIA are deferred, the Special Construction case will be completed. Maximum Termination Liability will apply in addition to Case Preparation Charges and any recurring charges associated with the Special Construction. 10.3.4 Construction Complete If the construction of FIA has been completed before the Company receives the customer's request for deferral, the Case Preparation Charge as originally determined, will apply and any recurring charges associated with the Special Construction. The Maximum Termination Liability Period will begin when the customer accepts the service. Advice No. 2 Issued: 08/05/10 Effective: 08/16/10 Issued by Frontier Communications Northwest Inc.

COIN SERVICES 13.1 General This section contains the rules and regulations pertaining to the provision of 1+ Coin Presubscription Service for the handling of 1+ interLATA sent-paid traffic from the Company's pay telephones. 13.2 Service Description 1+ Coin Presubscription Service provides the routing of 1+ interLATA sent-paid calls from Company pay telephones to the presubscribed 0+ Interexchange Carrier (customer) directly, to its designated secondary service provider, or to the default carrier, provided said carrier continues to accept such default traffic. The default carrier option will expire when the default carrier ceases to accept such traffic or when the presubscribed 0+ provider can handle such calls or route them to secondary service providers, whichever comes first. The customer has the following options: (1) to receive both 0+ and 1+ interLATA calls originated from Company pay telephones; or, (2) to receive the 0+ interLATA calls and select one secondary service provider per LATA to receive the 1+ interLATA sent-paid traffic; or, (3) to receive the 0+ interLATA calls and continue to default the 1+ interLATA sent-paid calls until the presubscribed 0+ provider is ready to handle (to receive both 0+ and 1+ interLATA calls or to receive 0+ interlATA calls and select a secondary service provider per LATA for 1+ interlATA calls) such calls. The customer is solely responsible for all 0+ and 1+ interLATA sentpaid calls originating from the Company pay telephone when it handles 1+ interLATA sent-paid traffic or selects a secondary service provider to handle the 1+ interLATA sent-paid calls. The Company must receive written authorization from the customer prior to routing 1+ interLATA sent-paid calls to the selected secondary service provider. If the customer selects a secondary service provider to handle 1+ interLATA sent-paid traffic, any arrangements will be solely between the customer and its selected secondary service provider. 13.3 Service Provisioning The Company will provide 1+ interLATA sent-paid access from equal access end offices to the CDL via direct routed trunks from the end office or via its access tandem. The Company will provide, where available, either of two types of call setup signaling from its pay telephones, Tandem Access InterLATA Sent-Paid (TAISP) and Exchange Access Operator Services System (EAOSS) signaling from the access tandem to the CDL. If the equal access end office is equipped with either TAISP or EAOSS functionality, TAISP or EAOSS signaling can be provided via direct trunking from the end office or the access tandem to the CDL at the customer's option. If the equal access end office is equipped with only Modified Operator Service Signaling (MOSS) functionality, only MOSS will be provided for direct trunking from the end office to the CDL.

COIN SERVICES - Continued 13.6.3 Recourse Adjustments For each coin record day, the Company will subtract from the Total Customer Coin Revenue an amount for coin station shortages. Coin station shortages are amounts resulting from unauthorized calling at coin pay telephone stations, use of unauthorized coins (i.e., foreign coins, slugs and improper use of U. S. pennies), unauthorized removal of coins from coin pay telephone stations and coin refunds beyond the Company's control. Such amount will be rounded to the nearest penn . The shortage factor will be determined by dividing the yearly total coin shortage amount by the yearly total coin revenue amount (i.e., total coin revenue equals the coin revenue due under the exchange Price List, state toll Price List and interstate toll tariffs). The total coin shortage amount and the total revenue amount will be determined by the Company through an annual special study. 13.6.4 Payment of Net Customer Coin Revenue The Company will determine the Net Customer Coin Revenue for each coin record day by subtracting from the Total Customer Coin Revenue determined, as set forth in 13.6.2, the amount for coin station shortages, determined in 13.6.3. On the payment date, which is determined by adding 45 days to the coin record date, the Company will remit payment to the customer for the Net Customer Coin Revenue. 13.6.5 Audit Provisions Upon reasonable written notice by the customer to the Company, the customer shall have the right through its authorized representative to examine and audit all such records and accounts as recognized under accounting practices as containing information bearing upon the determination of the amount payable to the customer.

PRICE LIST No. 2 FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS NORTHWEST INC. Original Sheet 1 FACILITIES FOR INTRASTATE ACCESS 14. ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS 14.1 Frame Relay Service 1 14.1.1 Service Description Frame Relay Service (FRS) is a "fast packet" network service that permits the transmission of data at speeds of 56 Kbps up to 1.544 Mbps using Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs). PVCs are logical circuits that define a specific path for data sent b the customer to another location. These circuits are virtual because they are established in software tables and do not tie up capacity when not in use. This also allows multiple PVCs to be defined over a single access line, thereby providing a single access line the capability to transmit data to multiple destinations. In operation of Frame Relay Service, Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), such as routers, encapsulate arriving data into variable length frames. These frames contain information identifying which PVC in the network should be used to forward the frame to the proper destination. The CPE then sends the frame into the Frame Relay network. The Frame Relay switch reads identifying information and routes the frame to the proper destination based on a pre-established PVC. The statistical multiplexing Frame Relay switches are able to provide shared network resources to end users of this service. Frame Relay conforms to Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) publications T1.602, T1.606, T1.617 and T1.618. The regulations and rates specified herein are in addition to the applicable regulations and rates specified in other sections of this and other Price Lists of the Company. The rates and charges set forth for Frame Relay Service provide for the furnishing of service where suitable facilities are available. 1 Effective May 13, 2003, Frame Relay Service as provided in Section 14.1 is no longer available to new customers. Existing OPP customers ma continue their service until their OPP expires or their service is disconnected, whichever occurs first. Existing month-to-month customers may continue their service until May 13, 2008 or until their service is disconnected, whichever occurs first. Moves, additions, or changes will not be permitted. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Advice No. 2 Issued: 08/05/10 Effective: 08/16/10 Issued by Frontier Communications Northwest Inc.

Multiple PVCs may be provisioned on one Frame Relay Access Line. The actual throughput of aggregated PVCs can never exceed the speed of the access line. The PVC must be associated with at least one Frame Access Line. A customer must subscribe to at least one Frame Access Line. A Frame Access Line can be associated with an number of PVCs. Since all PVCs need not be in use at the same time, it is possible for the total bandwidth of all PVCs associated with one Frame Access Line to exceed the bandwidth of that Frame Access Line. Such a relationship is referred to as over-subscription and when this occurs, there can be no guarantee that the bandwidth defined for that PVC will be available at any point in time. No PVC can have a greater bit rate than the bit rate of the associated Frame Access Line. 1 Effective May 13, 2003, Frame Relay Service as provided in Section 14.1 is no longer available to new customers.

PRICE LIST No. 2 FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS NORTHWEST INC. Original Sheet 16 FACILITIES FOR INTRASTATE ACCESS 14. ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS 14.2 Frame Relay Service 14.2.1 Service Description Frame Relay Service (FRS) is a data communications service that provides for data connectivity between/among widely distributed locations. This connectivity is provided via Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) connections implemented over access facilities utilizing a switch dedicated to high- speed data services. FRS is a transport service that facilitates the exchange of variable length information units (frames) between end user connections by way of PVCs. Each frame is passed to the Frame Relay network with an address that specifies the permanent virtual circuit. Variable frame length capability is useful in communications between asynchronous Local Area Networks (LAN) and for transport of synchronous data traffic. FRS is capable of handling the requirements of bursty data sources because of the ability of the service to allocate additional bandwidth when not in use by other sources. In operation of FRS, Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), such as routers, encapsulate arriving data into variable length frames. These frames contain information identifying which PVC in the network should be used to forward the frame to the proper destination. The CPE then sends the frame into the Frame Relay network. The Frame Relay switch reads identifying information and routes the frame to the proper destination based on a pre-established PVC path. The statistical multiplexing Frame Relay switches are able to provide shared network resources to end users of this service. The Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Excess Burst Size B(e) are traffic management parameters that allow the customer to fine tune implementation of FRS. FRS, as provided for in this Price List, is offered for intrastate use only. Advice No. 2 Issued: 08/05/10 Effective: 08/16/10 Issued by Frontier Communications Northwest Inc.

Definitions In addition to the definitions in Section 2.6 of this Price List, the following definitions apply: Committed Information Rate (CIR) - The maximum information rate at which customer traffic will be admitted to the network without being designated eligible for discard. Customer Designated Location (CDL) The geographic location designated by the customer at which an access component of the customer's service is first considered to enter the Company's network. Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) - The Frame Relay virtual circuit number corresponding to a particular destination which is part of the frame relay header and is usually ten bits long. Excess Burst Size B(e) - The data rate above the Committed Information Rate (CIR), but less than the port size, at which customer data will be admitted to the Frame Relay network. All Excess Burst data B(e) admitted to the network will be designated as eligible for discard. Frame Relay Service - A connection oriented fast packet network service that permits the transmission of data at speeds of 56 Kbps to 44.736 Mbps using Permanent Virtual Connections (PVCs). Maximum Burst Rate (MBR) - The maximum information rate at which customer traffic will be admitted to the network. Traffic rates in excess of MBR will automatically be discarded on ingress to the network. The Maximum Burst Rate is equal to the sum of the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Excess Burst Size B(e). Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) – A standard interface used to connect two frame relay services, and includes elements such as bi-directional polling to assist the network services providers in gaining information on the status of the networks being connected. User-to-Network Interface (UNI) - A standard interface used to connect the end user to the Frame Relay Service network. It receives the data frame from the customer’s Local Area Network (LAN) or other customer-provided equipment (CPE) devices and verifies that the Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) is valid before relaying the frame to the destination end point. The DLCI is a Frame Relay term defining a 10-bit filed of the address field, and it identifies data links and their service parameters.

ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS (Cont'd) 14.2 Frame Relay Service (Cont'd) 14.2.3 Service Components (Cont'd) (C) Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) Committed Information Rate (CIR) (1) Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) are logical circuits that define a specific path for data sent by the customer to another location. These circuits are virtual because they are established in software tables and do not tie up capacity when not in use. This also allows multiple paths (PVCs) to be defined on any given port, thereby providing a single access line the capability to transmit data to multiple destinations. (2) Since multiple PVCs may be defined on one physical port, it is possible for the cumulative Committed Information Rates (CIRs) to exceed the physical bandwidth of that port. This is referred to as over-subscription and when this occurs, the aggregate CIR defined for that port and PVC will not be available at any point in time. (3) The following types of PVC CIR are available: (a) Intrazone - An Intrazone PVC is a logical channel path between two customer Frame Relay ports within the same zone. Frame Relay zones are found in 14.2.11(A)(8) following. (b) Multi-jurisdictional - A Multi-jurisdictional PVC is a logical channel path between two customer Frame Relay ports, one being an interstate port and the other an intrastate port both located within the same Frame Relay zone. A Multi-jurisdictional PVC falls under federal jurisdiction and the PVC CIR rates, rules and regulations from the Company's FCC Frame Relay tariff are applicable. (D) Frame Relay to ATM Service Internetworking Frame Relay to ATM Service Internetworking provides for the conversion of Frame Relay packets to ATM cells and the conversion of ATM cells to Frame Relay Packets. Frame Relay to ATM Service Internetworking is available with Intrazone and Multi-jurisdictional PVC CIR at no additional charge.

The Primary UNI is terminated at the primary customer host location and in normal operation serves PVCs between the primary host location and various customer remote locations. A second UNI, which is designated by the customer as a Backup UNI, is installed and terminated at the customer's backup host location. During normal operations no PVCs are mapped to the Backup UNI. The customer will be required to purchase both UNIs. In the event of a Primary UNI, primary digital access line or, customer primary host location failure, the predefined PVC confi uration can be remapped to the Backup UNI at the customer's request. Upon restoral of the Primary UNI service the customer must contact the Company to initiate remapping of PVCs from the Backup UNI back to the Primary UNI. A Backup UNI, which may serve as a backup to one or more Primary UNIs, can only backup one Primary UNI at a time. A Backup UNI must be the same port speed or greater than the Primary UNI(s). 14.2.4 Technical Specifications FRS conforms to the transmission specification standards in the following references: ANSI T1.602 Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) – Data Link Layer Signaling Specification for Application at the User-Network Interface – Issued 1989 ANSI T1.606 Frame Relay Bearer Service, Architectural Framework and Service Description – Issued 1990 ANSI T1.617 Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) – Digital Subscriber Signaling Specification for Frame Relay Bearer Service – Issued 1991 ANSI T1.618 Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) – Core Aspects of Frame Relay Bearer Service – Issued 1991 Advice No. 2 Issued: 08/05/10 Effective: 08/16/10 Issued by Frontier Communications Northwest Inc.

ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS (Cont'd) 14.2 Frame Relay Service (Cont'd) 14.2.5 Service Provisioning FRS is available where facilities and conditions permit. FRS is provided to the customer in the form of the UNI Port and Access Line, UNI Port Only, Private NNI Port Only and CIR based PVCs. The UNI Port and Access Line forms the local access component to the customer's serving central office. The UNI Port Only and Private NNI Port Only include the electronic equipment necessary to interface the access line to the Frame Relay switch. PVCs are provisioned on a specified speed and CIR basis, depending upon the customer's request. The actual throughput of aggregated PVC bandwidths in use at the same time on the same port cannot exceed the port speed. The maximum CIR allowed is determined by the lower of the two port speeds connected by the PVC. The maximum CIR allowed for port speeds at 1.536 Mbps and below is 75% of the lower of the two port speeds. For port speeds above 1.536 Mbps to 44.7136 Mbps, the maximum CIR allowed is 50% of the lower of the two port speeds. The PVC must be associated with at least one Frame Relay port. A Frame Relay port can be associated with multiple PVCs. The customer subscribing to a Port Only or Port and Access Line will be referred to as the controller of the Frame Relay port. A separate entity may, with written authorization from the controller, subscribe to a PVC that allows communication between entities. A disconnect of a PVC does not result in the disconnect of the underlying access line and port. Only the controller may order the disconnect of the FRS. The Frame Relay port with PVC CIR capacity may be ordered and billed separately from an associated Frame Relay port and PVC, and can have different customers as controllers. 4 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 10 Mbps and 22 Mbps speeds are provisioned utilizing 44.736 Mbps of transport bandwidth; no other service(s) may utilize the remaining bandwidth.

ATM CRS consists of a User Network Interface (UNI) available in various configurations including Port With Access Line Connection and Port Only Connection, with either incremental or full bandwidth. The UNI Port With Access Line Connection is a dedicated digital line that provides a link from the CDL to one of the Company’s ATM CRS hubs1. UNIs are also provisioned as a Port Only Connection as defined in 14.3.2(B). ATM CRS is a fast-packet, cell-based technology that can support user applications requiring high- bandwidth, high-performance transport and switching. This connectivity is provided via Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) and/or Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs) that are implemented over access facilities and switches that are dedicated to high-speed telecommunications services. UNIs, Port Only Connections, PVCs and SVCs are further described in 14.3.2. 1 Applies in lieu of service charges found elsewhere in this Price List or other Company price lists/tariffs.

There are two types of UNIs: Full and Incremental. The Full UNI includes all available bandwidth in one data rate, and the Incremental UNI is sold and provisioned with PVC and/or SVC bandwidth increments. The DS1 UNI is not offered in increments. In order for Customer traffic to be carried on the network, each Incremental UNI requires at least one 5 Mbps increment of either PVC or SVC bandwidth. The Customer may elect to subscribe to multiple PVCs. This feature is established over the UNI via connection identifiers, which enables the Customer to have virtual connections to various locations. UNIs are provided at nominal data rates of 1.544 Mbps (DS1), 44.736 Mbps (DS3), 155.52 Mbps (OC3c), or 622 Mbps (OC12c). OC3c and OC12c are provided as a concatenated signal in STS-3c and STS-12c (Synchronous Transport Signal) formats, respectively. The actual throughput into CRS is less than the line rate for the UNI provided. The rates and charges for a UNI are differentiated by the capacity of the UNI, the location where the UNI originates (i.e., Customer designated location) and mileage ranges (expressed as tiers) associated with extending the UNI to the wire center designated by the Company as the ATM CRS hub.

SONET is a standards- based fiber optic communication network that transports both asynchronous and synchronous digital signals using the Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) format. ATM OC3c and OC12c Protected SONET UNI Port With Access Line Connections are provisioned over SONET as a survivable service with a non-diverse alternate facility between the central office and the Customer premises. ATM OC3c and OC12c Protected Diverse SONET UNI Port With Access Line Connections are provisioned over SONET as a survivable service with an alternate and diverse path between the ATM CRS hub and the Customer premises. DS3, OC3c, OC12c and other interfaces, both electrical and optical, are supported and defined to the technical specifications set forth in 14.3.3. (B) Port Only Connection Port Only Connections can be established as User to Network Interface (UNI) arrangements. UNI Port Only connection provides an ATM Cell Relay Network connection based on the port connection speeds of DS1, DS3, OC3c and OC12c. The ATM port speed will be consistent with the channel speed of the access channel. The actual throughput of Customer traffic cannot exceed the bandwidth of the access channel and port speed. UNI Port Only Connections are available as either Incremental or Full. This refers to the bandwidth that is required to provision PVCs on the port. Incremental ports come with no bandwidth and bandwidth is purchased in increments based on Customer bandwidth requirements. Full ports come with all bandwidth included up to the maximum data rate of the port. Each port can accommodate multiple PVCs or SVCs depending on the bandwidth purchased. UNI Port Only is available on a One (1), Two (2), Three (3) and Five (5) year Extended Service Plan (ESP). Customers may access Port Only Connections via Company-provided digital access facilities or via facilities provided by another carrier. When access facilities are provided by the Company, the associated regulations, rates and charges from this Price List shall apply in addition to the regulations, rates and charges associated with ATM CRS. Company-provided access facilities may also be provisioned on an Individual Case Basis (ICB) where access facilities are not generally available under the applicable Price List. Interconnection charges to connect access line services provided by the Company or another carrier may apply and will be billed separately. Any special construction or nonstandard charges assessed by the carrier supplying the access facilities will be the responsibility of the Customer.

ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS 14.3 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Cell Relay Service (CRS) (Cont’d) 14.3.2 Service Components (Cont’d) (C) Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) The PVC defines a virtual connection between the CDL and the Company’s ATM CRS hub across a UNI. Each UNI requires at least one PVC in order for Customer traffic to traverse the network. Each ATM cell carries a unique tag which identifies that ATM CRS cell as belonging to a particular PVC. A PVC is a logical channel connecting two or more CDLs with virtual connections through a Company provided ATM CRS switch(es). The PVCs may be provided on a point-to-point or point- to-multipoint basis. When a PVC is provided as a point-to-point virtual connection, transmission is bi-directional allowing for ATM CRS cells to be transmitted or received over the same PVC. For point-to-multipoint virtual connections, transmission is provided as transmit only. The virtual connection is set up by the Company, based on information contained on a service order, rather than by dial-up signaling. PVCs consist of two types: Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) and Virtual Path Connections (VPCs). A VCC is a type of PVC with independent identity and defined service parameters that are provisioned via service order, and cannot be altered by the Customer without additional service order activity. A VPC is a type of PVC with defined service parameters that is provisioned via service order. Customers may provision their own virtual channels within the VPC, provided that the sum of the service parameters of all of the virtual channels does not exceed the aggregate service parameters of the VPC.

ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS 14.3 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Cell Relay Service (CRS) (Cont’d) 14.3.2 Service Components (Cont’d) (D) Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) SVCs are similar in structure to PVCs, but SVCs are provisioned on demand by Customer premises equipment that signals the ATM cell relay network to set up and tear down logical connections. The network will respond to these requests by provisioning a virtual connection across the network based on the class of service parameters requested, provided that sufficient network resources are available to establish the connection. Each UNI that is SVC signal enabled will be provided with a SVC International Code Designator (ICD) prefix that will uniquely identify the UNI. Customers must use this Company assigned prefix when requesting SVC virtual connections across the Company Cell Relay Network. Each Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) SVC will be limited to a maximum Peak Cell Rate of 20 Mbps and a maximum Sustained Cell Rate of 20 Mbps. Closed User Group (CUG) capability is a feature associated with SVCs. A CUG provides the ability to contain SVC calls between certain UNIs. A CUG functionally groups UNIs into logical associations and allows calling privileges to be specified network wide. A CUG provides a network- wide mechanism for access control. CUGs provide a logical grouping of UNIs, creating a SVC community of interest. (E) Effective Bandwidth Effective bandwidth is the bandwidth reserved for each logical connection (PVC or SVC) that is set up across a UNI . It is based on the Peak Cell Rate (PCR), Sustained Cell Rate (SCR), Maximum Burst Size1, and the class of service parameters selected, i.e., CBR, VBRrt (Variable Bit Rate real time), VBRnrt (Variable Bit Rate non-real time), or UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate). The total effective bandwidth of all the logical connections on a UNI cannot exceed the total bandwidth available on the UNI. Effective bandwidth prices do not vary by class of service level selected. However, effective bandwidth is consumed in varying degrees based on the class of service parameters selected. The higher the class of service, the more bandwidth will be reserved. A CBR PVC with the same PCR as a VBR PVC will reserve more effective bandwidth. 1 For definition, see section 2.6 of this Price List.
