If the customer's estimate of the interstate traffic on the service involved constitutes more than ten percent of the total traffic on that service, the service will be provided in accordance with the appropriate interstate rules and regulations specified in CenturyLink Operating Companies Tariff F.C.C.

If a customer's estimate of interstate traffic on an intrastate service should change to more than ten percent, the service requires a change in jurisdiction and the customer must submit an order to change the jurisdiction of the service. A change in jurisdiction is considered a service rearrangement and subject to the regulations set forth in CenturyLink Operating Companies Tariff F.C.C. No. 11. D. When mixed interstate and intrastate Private Line Transport Service is provided, the jurisdiction of the service is determined in accordance with A. through C., preceding.

2.4.7 TERMINATION LIABILITY/WAIVER POLICY
All Private Line Transport Services provided via service agreements,are
subject to the Termination Liability/Waiver Policy,unless otherwise specified.
A.Minimum Billing Level
When services are provided under a fixed-period service agreement,a Minimum
Billing Level will be established for use in calculating discontinuance charges.
The Minimum Billing Level is 100%of the total monthly rates for the service
provided under the custome?s service agreement,unless otherwise specified.
Partial discontinuance of service will not decrease the Minimum Billing Level.
B.Minimum Service Period
When services are provided under a service agreement,a Minimum Service Period
may be established.This would be the period of time that the 100%factor of the
Termination Liability Charge would apply.
C.Complete Disconnect
If the customer chooses to completely discontinue contracted service,at any time
during the term of the agreement,a termination charge will apply,unless the
customer satisfies the conditions specified in the Waiver Policy.The termination
charge is 100%of the rates for the Minimum Service Period,if applicable,plus the
Minimum Billing Level multiplied by the termination liability percentage specified
in the service agreement,for the remaining term of the agreement.
•For example,if the customer discontinues service after 17 months of a 3-year
(36 months)agreement,the termination charge will be the Minimum Billing
Level for the service multiplied by the termination liability percentage,
multiplied by 19 months.
•If the customer discontinues service after 6 months of a 3-year (36 month)
agreement,with a 1-year (12 months)Minimum Service Period,the Termination
Charge will be 100%of the N inimum Billing Level for the remaining 6 months
of the Minimum Service Period,plus the Minimum Billing Level multiplied by
the termination liability percentage,multiplied by 24 months.

F.Optional Features and Functions
Nonrecurring charges apply for the installation of some of the Optional Features
and Functions available with Private Line Transport.The charge applies whether
the feature or function is installed coincident with the initial installation of service
or at any time subsequent to the installation of the service,unless otherwise
specified.
G.Service Rearrangements
Service rearrangements are changes to existing (installed)services which do not
result in either a change in the minimum billing period requirements or a change in
the physical location of the Network Access Channel at a customer designated
premises.The charge to the customer for the service rearrangement is dependent
on whether the change is administrative only in nature or involves actual physical
change to the service.Changes which result in the establishment of new minimum

apply only for the leg that is being added.
•If the change involves the addition of an Optional Feature or Function which has
a separate nonrecurring charge,that nonrecurring charge will apply.
•If the change involves changing the type of Channel Performance on a service,
the Channel Performance nonrecurring charge will apply.
•If the change involves the changing of the type of service (e.g.,a change from
VG2 to VG3),it will be treated as a discontinuance of the existing service and
the installation of a new service.

3.4 MILEAGE MEASUREMENT
The mileage to be used to determine the monthly rate for the Transport Mileage
is calculated using the airline distance between wire centers.The serving wire
center associated with a customer designated premises is the serving wire center
from which the customer designated premises would normally obtain dial tone.
Transport Mileage is shown in terms of mileage bands.To determine the rate to
be billed,first compute the mileage using the V&H coordinates method,as set
forth in the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C.No.4,then find
the band into which the computed mileage falls and apply the rates shown for
that band.When the calculation results in a fraction of a mile,always round up
to the next whole mile before determining the mileage band and applying the
rates.
When bridging locations are involved,mileage is computed and rates applied
separately for each section of the Transport Mileage.When any service is routed
through a wire center for purposes other than customer specified bridging (e.g.,
the Company chooses to so route for test access purposes),rates will be applied
only to the distance calculated between the serving wire centers associated with
the customer designated premises.

C.The Critical Dates monitored by the Company for the purpose of calculating a
Cancellation Charge are as follows:
•Application Date (APP):The date the customer provides a firm commitment
and sufficient information to the Company for order placement.The APP Date
is the date the Company enters the order into the Company’s order distribution
system(s).This is sometimes referred to as the order date.
•Design Layout Report Date (DLRD):The date the Design Layout Report whichcontainsthedesignfortheservice(s)ordered is forwarded to the customer.
•Plant Test Date (PTD):The date acceptance testing is performed with the
customer.
•Service Date (DD):The date the service is due to be made available to the
customer.This is sometimes referred to as the Due Date.
D.The percentage of the total provisioning cost incurred by the Company at a
particular Critical Date varies by the type of service as shown in E.,following.
When a customer cancels an order,or part of an order,before the Service Date,the
Company will calculate the Cancellation Charge by multiplying all the
nonrecurring charges associated with the order,or that part of the order being
canceled,by the percentage shown in E.,following,based on the last monitored
Critical Date which has occurred on the order.When a customer cancels an order,
or part of an order,on or after the Service Date,100%of the nonrecurring charges
plus minimum billing period charges apply.
Nonrecurring charges associated with an order are used to calculate the
Cancellation Charge even when nonrecurring charges are waived.
Analog Service orders where the Network Access Channel recurring rate element
is not billed,will be assessed a Cancellation Charge based on the equivalent of one
Channel Performance nonrecurring charge for the service.
Digital Data Service orders where the Network Access Channel recurring rate
element is not billed,will be assessed a Cancellation Charge based on the
equivalent of one Channel Performance nonrecurring charge for the service.

Class A
Non-interruptible service performance (must function before,during and after the
power fault condition)for services requiring ac transmission only.Class A
service cannot tolerate even a momentary service interruption.Non-tolerable
service interruptions include both loss of dependability (failure to deliver a valid
trip or control signal)and loss of security (delivery of a false trip or control
signal).
Class B
Self-restoring interruptible service performance (must function before and after
the power fault condition)for any service.Class B service can tolerate a service
interruption for the duration of a power system fault,but service continuity must
be restored immediately after the fault without requiring any repair personnel
activity.
Class C
Interruptible service performance (can tolerate a station visit to restore service)
for power stations with a GPR less than l000V peak-asymmetrical.Class C
service can tolerate a service interruption which requires a station visit by repair
personnel to restore service.Class C service cannot be provided in conjunction
with Class A or Class B service.

5.1 GENERAL
Private Line Transport provides a transmission path between customer designated
premises or customer designated premises and a Serving Wire Center (SWC).
Company Centrex CO-like switches are considered to be customer designated
premises for purposes of administering and providing Private Line Transport.
5.1.1 SERVICE TYPES
There are several types of services used to provide Private Line Transport.
Each type has its own characteristics.All are subdivided by one or more of the
following:
•Transmission specifications
•Bandwidth
•Speed (i.e.,bit rate)
Customers can order a basic channel and select from a list of available
transmission performance and channel interfaces,those that they desire to meet
specific communications requirements.
For purposes of ordering channels,each has been identified as a type of Private
Line Transport.However,such identification is not intended to limit a
customer’s use of the channel nor to imply that the channel is limited to a
particular use.

5.1.2 RATE CATEGORIES
There are four basic rate categories which apply to Private Line Transport:
•Network Access Channel
•Channel Performance
•Transport Mileage
•Optional Features and Functions
A.Network Access Channel (NAC)
The Network Access Channel provides a two-wire or four-wire communications
path between the POT and the normal SWC of that premises.One Network
Channel Interface (NCI)charge applies per channel terminated at the POT.This
charge will apply even if the customer designated premises and the SWC are
collocated in the same building.On certain services,the NAC may be derived
from an existing service.
B.Channel Performance (CP)
The Channel Performance provides the electronic equipment which is added to the
NCI to provide the desired level of transmission performance.It modifies the
circuit with the basic performance necessary for the circuit to function.If
appropriate,it may also provide various signaling parameters to enhance the basic
performance.Included as part of the CP is a NCI or POT arrangement which
defines the technical characteristics at the interface between the customer and the
Company.One CP charge will apply per NAC.
C.Transport Mileage (TM){1J
The Transport Mileage provides for the transmission facilities between the SWCs
associated with two customer designated premises.The TM is portrayed in
mileage bands.There are two rate elements that apply for each band,a flat rate per
band and a rate per mile.TM is measured by airline miles between SWCs via the
V and H Coordinates Method,as set forth in the National Exchange Carrier
Association Tariff F.C.C.No.4.
[I)When a customer’s intrastate Private Line Transport Service or Foreign Exchange
Service is extended into unassigned territory,that service location is termed a
Private Line Pricing Point.This location shall be considered a wire center for the
purpose of determining airline mileages between two wire centers.

5.1.2 RTE CATEGORIES (Cont’d)
D.Optional Features and Functions
The Optional Features and Functions rate category provides for optional features
and functions which may be added to Private Line Transport to improve its quality
or utility to meet specific communications requirements.These are not necessarily
identifiable with specific equipment,but rather represent the end result in terms of
performance characteristics which may be obtained.These characteristics may be
obtained by using various combinations of equipment.Although the equipment
necessary to perform a specified function may be installed at various locations
along the path of the service,they will be charged for as a single rate element.
Examples of Optional Features and Functions that are available include,but are
not limited to,the following:
•Hubbing Functions
•Bridging
•Multiplexing
•Conditioning
•Secondary Channel
A hub is a Company designated SWC at which bridging functions are performed.
The bridging functions performed are to connect three or more customer
designated premises in a multipoint arrangement.National Exchange Carrier
Association Tariff F.C.C.No.4 identifies SWCs,hub locations and the type of
bridging.
Standard offerings are available within each category of service.If a Standard
offering does not meet a particular customer requirement,the customer may
request and the Company may develop a Custom offering.The Channel
Performance and/or Optional Features and Functions for customer services will be
developed and rated on an individual case basis.

5.1.4 RATE STABILIZED AND DiscouNT PRicING
As an alternative to month-to-month cataloged rates,qualifying customers may
elect a rate stabilized or discounted pricing arrangement.Rate stability allows
eligible customers to have rate predictability for specified periods of time.
Discounting allows eligible customers to realize some savings due to their
larger volume of services and their long term commitment to that volume of
services.
Each customer will be required to sign a contractual agreement for the
furnishing of services on a rate stabilized or discounted pricing basis.
A.Rate Stability Terms and Conditions
1.Both Analog and DDS Private Line Transport Services are eligible for rate
stability consideration.
2.The rate stabilized price is the catalog rate in effect at the time the agreement is
signed by the customer.
3 The minimum contract value for Analog Private Line Transport Services is
$1,000.00 per month.
4.No minimum contract value is required for DDS Private Line Transport Services.
5.The only rate elements eligible for rate stabilization are:NACs (at Catalog rates),
CP,TM and Private Line Transport Optional Features and Functions.These rate
elements are the only ones to be used in the revenue calculation for determining
eligibility.
6.In addition to satisfying the minimum eligibility requirements,the rate stabilized
price must be above cost.
7.The nonrecurring charges,for circuit(s)installed under a rate stability plan,are
not included under the contract and are those specified in the current Catalog.

5.1.5 FACILITY HUBS
A customer has the option of ordering digital high capacity facilities to a
facility hub for channelizing to individual services requiring lower capacity
facilities (e.g.,Voice Grade,Audio,etc.)where facilities are available.
Different locations may be designed as hubs for different facility capacities,
e.g.,multiplexing from digital to digital may occur at one location while
multiplexing from digital to analog may occur at a different location.When
ordering,the customer will specify the desired multiplexing hub(s)selected
from the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C.No.4.This
catalog identifies the type(s)of multiplexing functions which are available and
the SWCs at which they are available.
Some of the types of multiplexing available include the following:
•From higher to lower bit rate
•From digital to voice frequency channels
End-to-end services may be provided on channels of these facilities to a hub.
The transmission performance for the end-to-end service provided between the
customer designated premises will be that of the lower capacity or bit rate.For
example,when a 1.544 Mbps facility is multiplexed to voice frequency
channels,the transmission performance of the channelized services will be
voice grade.
The Company will commence billing the monthly rate for the facility to the
hub on the service due date specified by the customer on the service order.
Individual services utilizing these facilities may be installed coincident with
the installation of the facility to the hub,or may be ordered and/or installed at a
later date,at the option of the customer.The customer will be billed the
appropriate rates and charges for the high capacity facility,including the
multiplexer,at the time the facility is installed.Individual service rates (by
service type)will apply for a NAC,CP and additional TM (as required)for
each channelized service.These will be billed to the customer as each
individual service is installed.

5.1 GENERAL
5.1.5 FACILITY HUBS (Cont’d)
Cascading multiplexing occurs when a digital channel is dc-multiplexed to
provide channels with a lesser capacity and one of the lesser capacity channels
is further dc-multiplexed.For example,a DS1 facility is dc-multiplexed to
twenty-four DSO facilities and then one of the DSO facilities is further de
multiplexed to subrate (e.g.,ten 4.8 kbps).
When cascading multiplexing is performed whether in the same or a different
hub,a charge for the additional multiplexing unit also applies.When
cascading multiplexing is performed at different hubbing locations,Transport
Mileage charges also apply between the hubs.
5.1.6 SHARED USE
Shared Use occurs when Private Line Transport Service and Switched Access
Service are provided over the same high capacity facilities through a common
interface.The facility will be ordered,provided and rated as Private Line
Transport Service.The nonrecurring charge that applies when the Shared Use
Facility is installed will be the nonrecurring charge associated with the
appropriate Private Line Transport Service.Rating as Private Line Transport
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 Private Line Transport
rates will be reduced accordingly (e.g.,1/24th for a DS1 service,etc.).The
customer must place an order for each individual Switched Access or Private
Line Transport Service utilizing the Shared Use Facilities and specify the
channel assignment for each such service.
Switched Access Service rates and charges will apply for each channel of the
Shared Use Facility that is used to provide Switched Access Service.Where
Private Line Transport Service is provided utilizing a channel of the Shared
Use Facility to the hub,those rates and charges will apply for the facility to the
hub and individual service rates and charges will apply from the hub to the
customer designated premises.The rates and charges that will apply to the
portion from the hub to the customer designated premises will be dependent on
the specific type of Private Line Transport Service that is provided (e.g.,Voice
Grade,etc.).
