Reasonable time will be allowed for any redesign and implementation required by the change in operating characteristics. The Company will work cooperatively with the customer to determine reasonable notification requirements. 2.1.8 Refusal and Discontinuance of Service (A) If a customer fails to comply with the provisions set forth in this Price List, including any payments to be made by it on the dates and times herein specified, the Company may, on thirty (30) days’ written notice by Certified U.S. Mail to the person designated by that customer to receive such notice of noncompliance, refuse additional applications for service and/or refuse to complete any pending orders for service by the noncomplying customer at any time thereafter.

In the case of such discontinuance, all applicable charges, including termination charges, shall become due. If the Company does not discontinue the provision of the services involved on the date specified in the thirty (30) days’ notice, and the customer's noncompliance continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude the Company's right to discontinue the provision of the services to the noncomplying customer without further notice. (C) When access service is provided by more than one Company, the Companies involved in providing the joint service may individually or collectively deny service to a customer for nonpayment. Where the Company(s) affected by the nonpayment is incapable of affecting discontinuance of service without the cooperation of the other joint providers of Switched Access Service, such other Telephone Company(s) will, if technically feasible, assist in denying the joint service to the customer. Service denial for such joint service will only include calls originating or terminating within, or transiting, the operating territory of the Telephone Company's initiating the service denial for nonpayment. When more than one of the joint providers must deny service to effectuate service discontinuance for nonpayment, and where a conflict exists in the applicable Price List provisions, the regulations of the end office Telephone Company shall apply for joint service discontinuance. (D) When an access service is utilized for the provision of both interstate and intrastate traffic, and the call details are insufficient to identify the jurisdiction of the calls, discontinuance of service will result in the disconnection of all traffic, both interstate and intrastate.

(2) The projected Intrastate percentages will be used by the Company to apportion the usage between interstate and intrastate until a revised report is received as set forth in (B)(3) following. (B) Jurisdictional Reports When the Company receives sufficient call detail to permit it to determine the jurisdiction of originating and terminating access minutes of use, the Company will bill using a PIU factor developed from these actual minutes of use and will not use the customer provided PIU factors provided as set forth in (1) through (4) following. The Company developed PIU for access minutes of use will be determined at a statewide level. When the access minutes are measured, the Intrastate percentage will be developed on a quarterly basis by dividing the measured Intrastate originating or terminating access minutes (the access minutes where the calling number is in one state and the called number is in another state) by the total measured originating or terminating access minutes. The Company will begin to utilize the Company developed PIU factors as soon as sufficient call detail is available, and will implement subsequent Company developed PIU factors on quarterly basis in accordance with the provisions set forth in 2.3.9(B)(3) following.

(1) When a customer orders Feature Group D or Toll Free Database Access Services (TFDBAS), the projected interstate percentage will be determined as set forth in (a) and (b) following: (a) Reserved for Future Use (b) For terminating Feature Group D used in the provision of MTS/MTS-like service, terminating Feature Group D used in the provision of 900 service, originating Feature Group D used in the provision of 900 service, and originating and terminating Feature Group D used in the provision of Toll Free Database Access Service, the customer shall provide the projected interstate usage percentage in its access service order. In the event the customer fails to provide a projected interstate percentage, the Company will determine the projected interstate percentage as follows: For originating access minutes, the projected interstate percentage will be developed on a monthly basis when the Feature Group D Switched Access Service minutes are measured by dividing the measured interstate originating minutes (the minutes where the calling number is in one state and the called number is in another state) by the total originating minutes when the call detail is adequate to determine the appropriate jurisdiction. For terminating access minutes, the data used by the Company to develop the projected interstate percentage for originating access minutes will be used to develop projected interstate percentage for such terminating access minutes.

The customer shall retain, for a minimum of one year, accurate call detail records from which the percentage of interstate and intrastate use can be derived, and shall make such records available for inspection as reasonably necessary for PIU verification. Such records shall be made available for inspection and audit within 15 days of the Company’s request for verification. The Company shall limit audits to one per year, except where additional audits may be required to verify allocation changes which represent a five percent shift from the customer's most recent reported figures, and such change is not the result of seasonal shifts or other identifiable reasons. The customer may request that verification audits be conducted by an independent auditor. In such cases the associated auditing expenses will be paid by the customer. In the event the customer fails to provide adequate records to enable the Company or an independent auditor to conduct an audit verifying the customer's PIU, the Company will bill the usage for all the contested periods using the PIU reported by the customer for the previous period.

The percentage provided in the reports as set forth in 2.3.9(B) preceding will serve as the basis for prorating the charges. The percentage of an Access Service to be charged as interstate is applied in the following manner: (A) For monthly and nonrecurring chargeable rate elements, multiply the percent intrastate use times the quantity of chargeable elements times the stated rate per element. (B) For usage sensitive (i.e., access minutes, calls and queries) chargeable rate elements, multiply the percent intrastate use times actual use (i.e., measured or Company assumed average use) times the stated rate. The intrastate percentage will change as revised usage reports are submitted as set forth in 2.3.9 preceding. 2.4 Payment Arrangements 2.4.1 Payment of Rates, Charges and Deposits (A) The Company will, in order to safeguard its interests, only require a customer which has a proven history of late payments to the Company or does not have established credit, to make a deposit prior to or at any time after the provision of a service to the customer to be held by the Company as a guarantee of the payment of rates and charges. No such deposit will be required of a customer which is a successor of a Company which has established credit and has no history of late payments to the Company. Such deposit may not exceed the actual or estimated rates and charges for the service for a two month period. The fact that a deposit has been made in no way relieves the customer from complying with the Company's regulations as to prompt payment of bills. At such time as the provision of the service to the customer is terminated, the amount of the deposit will be credited to the customer's account and any credit balance which may remain will be refunded.

A design change is any change to an Access Order which requires engineering review. An engineering review is a review by Company personnel of the service ordered and the requested changes to determine what changes in the design, if any, are necessary to meet the Customer’s request. Design changes include such things as the addition or deletion of optional features or functions or a change in the type of Transport Termination (Switched Access only), type of channel interface, type of Interface Group or technical specification package. Design changes do not include a change of customer premises, end user premises or end office switch. Changes of this nature will require the issuance of a new order and the cancellation of the original order with appropriate cancellation charges applied. The Company will review the requested change, notify the customer whether the change is a design change, if it can be accommodated and if a new service date is required. If the customer authorizes the Company to proceed with the design change, a Design Change Charge will apply. The Design Change Charge will apply on a per order occurrence basis, for each order requiring a design change. If, as a result of the change, the original service date cannot be met without the Company incurring additional labor, and the Customer provides authorization to the Company to proceed, then charges will apply. If the Customer is unwilling to pay such costs and the service date must be changed as a result of the design change, a Service Date Change Charge as set forth in Section 5.2.3(A) would apply.

(b) When counting the number of days in the service interval or the number of days from the Firm Order Confirmation date through the Access Order Cancellation Date, the Firm Order Confirmation date will count as day one. (c) The Cancellation Charge will be a percentage of all of the nonrecurring charges associated with the access order, or that part of the order being canceled. This percentage is calculated by dividing the number of days from the Firm Order Confirmation date through the Cancellation Date by the number of days in the agreed to service interval. The Cancellation Charge is then developed by multiplying the nonrecurring charges associated with installation of the canceled service by the calculated percentage. (C) When a customer cancels an order for the discontinuance of service, no charges apply for the cancellation. (D) If the Company misses a service date by more than 30 days due to circumstances over which it has direct control (excluding, e.g., acts of God, governmental requirements, work stoppages and civil commotions), the customer may cancel the Access Order without incurring cancellation charges.

Switched Access Service 6.1 General Switched Access Service, which is available to customers for their use in furnishing their services to end users, provides a two-point electrical communications path between a customer’s premises and an end user’s premises. It provides for the use of common terminating, common switching, switched transport facilities, and common subscriber plant of the Company. Switched Access Service provides for the ability to originate calls from an end user’s premises to a customer’s premises, and to terminate calls from a customer’s premises to an end user’s premises in the LATA where it is provided. Rates and charges for Switched Access Service depend generally on its use by the customer. The application of rates for Switched Access Service is described in 6.4 following. Rates and charges for services other than Switched Access Service, e.g., a customer’s interLATA and intercalate toll message service, may also be applicable when Switched Access Service is used in conjunction with these other services. 6.1.1 Switched Access Service Arrangements and Manner of Provision Switched Access Service is provided in various service categories of standard and optional features called Feature Group D, Toll Free Database Access Service, and 900 Access Service. (A) Feature Group D (FGD) FGD Access, which is available to all customers, provides trunk side access to Company end office switches, with an associated 101XXXX access code for the customer's use in originating and terminating communications. A more detailed description of FGD Access is provided in 6.2.1 following. The provision of FGD Access is subject to local availability.

(2) FGD is provided as trunk side switching through the use of end office trunk equipment. The switch trunk equipment is provided with wink start start-pulsing signals and answer and disconnect supervisory signaling. (3) FGD switching is provided with out of band SS7 signaling. With SS7 signaling, up to 12 digits of the called party number dialed by the customer’s end user using dial pulse address signals will be provided by Company equipment to the customer’s premises where the Switched Access Service terminates. Such address signals will be subject to the ordinary transmission capabilities of the Switched Transport provided. (4) FGD switching, when used in the terminating direction, may be used to access valid NXXs in the local exchange and other customers’ services (by dialing the appropriate codes) when such services can be reached using valid NXX codes. When directly routed to an end office, only those valid NXX codes served by that office may be accessed. When routed through an access tandem, only those valid NXX codes served by end offices subtending the access tandem may be accessed. Calls in the terminating direction will not be completed to 950- XXXX access codes, local operator assistance (0- and 0+), Directory Assistance (411 and 555-1212), service codes 611 and 911, and 101XXXX access codes. (5) The Company will establish a trunk group or groups for the customer at end office switches or access tandem switches where FGD switching is provided. When required by technical limitations, a separate trunk group will be established for each type of FGD switching arrangement provided.

Switched Access Service (Cont'd) 6.2 Provision and Description of Switched Access Service Arrangements (Cont'd) 6.2.1 Feature Group D (FGD) (A) Description (Cont'd) (6) The access code for FGD switching is a uniform access code of the form 101XXXX. This uniform access code will be the assigned access number of all FGD access provided to the customer by the Company. No access code is required for calls to a customer over FGD Switched Access Service if the end user's telephone exchange service is arranged for presubscription to that customer. Where no access code is required, the number dialed by the customer’s end user shall be a seven or ten digit number for calls in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). For international calls outside the NANP, a twelve to fifteen digit number may be dialed. The form of the numbers dialed by the customer’s end user is NXX-XXXX, 0 or 1 + NXX-XXXX, NPA + NXX-XXXX, 0 or 1 + NPA + NXX-XXXX, and, when the end office is equipped for International Direct Distance Dialing (IDDD), 01 + CC + NN or 011 + CC + NN. (7) FGD switching will be arranged to accept calls from telephone exchange service locations without the need for dialing the 101XXXX uniform access code. Each telephone exchange service line may be marked with a presubscription code to identify which 101XXXX code it calls will be directed to for interLATA service.

Switched Access Service (Cont'd) 6.2 Provision and Description of Switched Access Service Arrangements (Cont'd) 6.2.2 Toll Free Database Access Service (TFDBAS) (A) Description Toll Free Access Service (TFDBAS) is an originating only trunk side service. When a Toll Free+NXX+XXXX call is originated by an end user, the Telephone Company will perform customer identification based on screening of the full ten-digits of the Toll Free number to determine the customer location to which the call is to be routed. Customers have the option of specifying an area of service from which to receive calls. The Telephone Company will perform additional TFDBAS database queries to determine how to route Toll Free calls when the calls have Toll Free vertical features defined. Therefore, an additional TFDBAS database query charge will apply along with the customer identification TFDBAS database query charge.

Switched Access Service (Cont’d) 6.2 Provision and Description of Switched Access Service Arrangements (Cont’d) 6.2.2 Toll Free Database Access Service (TFDBAS) (Cont’d) (A) Description (Continued) Toll Free Vertical Features: .1 POTS Translation – translates dialed Toll Free numbers to a ten-digit Plain Old Telephone number to facilitate routing the Toll Free call to Toll Free subscribers’ defined termination location. .2 Alternate POTS Translation - allows Toll Free subscribers to vary the routing of their inbound Toll Free calls based on factors such as time of date, place of origination of the call, etc. .3 Multiple Carrier Routing – allows Toll Free subscribers to route to different carriers based on similar factors. No access code is required for TFDBAS. Toll Free Database Access Service calls (i.e. “Toll Free”) may be delivered to the customer directly from an end office only when the end office is equipped with TFDBAS database query functionality, i.e., ability to query the Toll Free SMS800 Database to perform ten-digit customer identification. When the end office does not have TFDBAS database query functionality, the Toll Free call is routed to an access tandem to perform ten-digit customer identification (all access tandems have TFDBAS database query functionality). After performing a TFDBAS database query the originating Toll Free call is delivered to the customer, if possible. TFDBAS database query charges will be applied for each completed customer TFDBAS identification query. A query is deemed to have been completed when the signaling information enabling the Toll Free call to be directed to the appropriate carrier is returned by the TFDBAS database to the switch that originated the TFDBAS query. The TFDBAS database query will be performed from suitably equipped end offices or access tandems. Toll Free calls may be routed to multiple carriers based on the local access transport area in which the call originates. However, Toll Free calls originating from an end office switch that is not included in the customer’s area of service for TFDBAS will not be completed.

Switched Access Service (Cont'd) 6.2 Provision and Description of Switched Access Service Arrangements (Cont'd) 6.2.2 Toll Free Database Access Service (TFDBAS) (Cont'd) (A) Description (Cont'd) Unless prohibited by network considerations (e.g., different dialing plans), the customer’s Toll Free Database Access Service (TFDBAS) traffic may, at the option of the customer, be combined in the same trunk group arrangement with the customer’s non toll free database switched access traffic except as follows. Combining Toll Free Database Access Service traffic with the customer’s direct routed switched access traffic will be allowed only when the end office is equipped to perform the toll free database query. When required by network considerations, a separate trunk group must be established for Toll Free Database Access Service. When Toll Free traffic is combined in the same trunk group arrangement with other traffic, usage for the Toll Free Database Access Service traffic will be aggregated with the other traffic for billing purposes. When separate trunk groups are provided for Toll Free Database Access Service, usage will be provided separately. The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has concluded that hoarding, defined as the acquisition of more Toll Free numbers than one intends to use for the provision of Toll Free service, as well as the sale of Toll Free numbers by a private entity for a fee, is contrary to the public interest in the conservation of the scarce Toll Free number resource and contrary to the FCC’s responsibility to promote the orderly use and allocation of Toll Free numbers.

Switched Access Service (Cont'd) 6.2 Provision and Description of Switched Access Service Arrangements (Cont'd) 6.2.3 900 Access Service (A) Description Originating 900 Access Service is a trunk side switched service that is available to the customer via 900 Access Service trunk groups, or can be provided to the customer in conjunction with FGD service. When combined with FGD, 900 Access Service traffic can, at the option of the customer, be carried on the same group with non-900 Access traffic. When a 1+900+NXX+XXXX or 0+900+NXX+XXXX call is originated by an end user, the Company will perform the customer identification function based on the dialed digits to determine the customer to which the call is to be routed. If the call originates from an end office not equipped to provide the customer identification function, the call will be routed to an office where the function is available. Once customer identification has been established, the call will be routed to the customer. The manner in which 900 Access Service is provided depends on whether the end office from which the call originates has equal access capability and/or the customer identification function. In equal access end offices which have customer identification function capability, 900 Access Service is provided in accordance with technical characteristics available with FGD (however, ANI is required with 900 Access Service), either direct to the end office or via an equal access tandem on existing trunk groups. At the customer’s option, 900 Access Service and Toll Free Database Access Service may be combined on the same trunk group. 900 Access Service calls which are routed through operator services will be delivered at the equal access tandem over FGD. At the customer’s option, 900 Access Service can be provided from both equal access and non-equal access end office switches over a FGD trunk group from the access tandem to the customer’s premises if the customer can accept, on that trunk group, both exchange access and conventional signaling.

The customer may request, via an ASR to the Company, unblocking of 0+ and 0-900 calling on all classes of service except detention centers. At the carrier's option all 900 attempts will be passed the identified IC, who subsequently can screen the appropriate ANI II digits for call disposition. This option is available in technically capable equal access offices. 900 Access Service originating from equal access end offices with the customer identification function will be provided using exchange access signaling with overlap outpulsing and ten digit ANI. 900 Access Service originating from equal access end offices without the customer identification function, or for calls routed through operator services, will be provided using conventional signaling. On traffic using conventional signaling, the customer’s facilities shall provide off hook supervision upon receipt of the transmitted digits. 6.3 Optional Features 6.3.1 Local Switching Optional Features (A) Automatic Number Identification (ANI) This option provides the automatic transmission of a seven or ten digit number and information digits to the customer’s premises for calls originating in the exchange, to identify the calling station.

Switched Access Service (Cont'd) 6.4 Rate Regulations (Cont'd) 6.4.1 Description and Application of Rates and Charges (Cont'd) (C) Nonrecurring Charges Nonrecurring charges are one-time charges that apply for a specific work activity (i.e., installation or change to an existing service) and are developed at full cost recovery on a labor hours per labor time basis. Under the Multiple Bill Method, the nonrecurring charges reflect only the Company’s costs and are applicable only when the nonrecurring function occurs within its territory. The types of nonrecurring charges that apply for Switched Access Service are: installation of service, service rearrangement, and 900 Access Service. (1) Installation of Service Nonrecurring charges apply to each Switched Access Service installed. For FGD, Toll Free Database Access Service and 900, the per trunk installation charge is applicable on a per end office or tandem basis. (2) Service Rearrangements Service rearrangements are changes to existing services installed which do not result in either a change in the minimum period requirements or a change in the physical location of the point of termination at the customer’s premises or the customer’s end user’s premises. Changes which result in the establishment of new minimum period obligations are treated as disconnects and starts. Changes in the physical location of the point of termination are treated as moves. For all service rearrangements without separate nonrecurring charges, a charge equal to one half the Switched Transport nonrecurring (i.e., installation) charge will apply.

Switched Access Service (Cont'd) 6.4 Rate Regulations (Cont'd) 6.4.1 Description and Application of Rates and Charges (Cont'd) (C) Nonrecurring Charges (Cont'd) (3) 900 Access Service A nonrecurring charge applies each time a change is made which involves the addition or deletion of 900 NXX codes to be routed to the customer. The charge is assessed per 900 NXX code added or deleted for each Company end office switch or access tandem in which translation changes are required. This charge applies to the initial loading of one or more 900 NXX codes required to establish service for the customer, and to any subsequent changes (i.e., additions or deletions) to those codes. There is also an Assembly of Route Pattern nonrecurring charge which applies once for each Company end office, but only on the customer’s initial request to the Company for 900 Access Service in each state, LATA, access tandem or end office. (D) Application of Rates Switched access usage rates apply to all access minutes that originate or terminate at end offices. Switched access usage rates also apply to all Toll Free Database and 900 Access Service minutes that originate from end offices.

The minimum period for all other Access Services is one month. 6.4.3 Minimum Monthly Charge Switched Access Service is subject to a minimum monthly charge. The minimum charge applies for the total capacity provided. For usage rated Switched Access Services, the minimum monthly charge is the applicable usage charge for the month's usage. For flat rated Switched Access services, the minimum monthly charge is the applicable monthly rate for the service. 6.4.4 Measuring Access Minutes Customer traffic to end offices will be measured by the Company at end office switches or access tandem switches. Originating and terminating calls will be measured by the Company to determine the basis for computing chargeable access minutes. For terminating and originating calls over FGD, the measured minutes are the chargeable access minutes. For FGD access minutes or fractions thereof, the exact value of the fraction being a function of the switch technology where the measurement is made, are accumulated over the billing period for each end office, and are then rounded up to the nearest access minute for each end office. For originating calls over FGD with SS7 signaling, usage measurement begins with the transmission of the initial address message. The measurement of originating FGD call usage ends when the entry switch receives or sends a release message, whichever occurs first. For terminating calls over FGD with SS7 signaling, usage measurement begins when the terminating recording switch receives answer supervision from the terminating end user. The Company switch receives answer supervision and sends the indication to the customer in the form of an answer message. The measurement of terminating FGD call usage ends when the entry switch receives or sends a release message, whichever occurs first.

Toll VoIP-PSTN 14.1 General Toll VoIP-PSTN traffic is defined as traffic exchanged between a Sprint Communications Company, L.P. end user and the customer in time division multiplexing (“TDM”) format that originates and/or terminates in Internet protocol (“IP”) format. This section governs the identification of Toll VoIP-PSTN traffic that is required to be compensated at interstate access rates (unless the parties have agreed otherwise) by the Federal Communications Commission in its Report and Order in WC Docket Nos. 10-90, etc., FCC Release No. 11-161 (Nov. 18, 2011) as modified by its Second Order on Reconsideration, FCC Release No. 12-47 (April 25, 2012), and as codified in 47 C.F.R. 51.319 (“Reconsideration Order”), and unless Sprint and the Customer have agreed otherwise. Specifically, this section establishes the method of separating such traffic (referred to in this Price List as “Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic”) from the customer’s traditional intrastate access traffic, so that such Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic can be billed in accordance with the FCC Orders. If a Toll Free Database Access Query charge is assessed on a Toll Free 8YY Traffic call, it will be rated at the charges as set forth in the appropriate section of this Price List. 14.1.1 Rating of Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic The Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic identified in accordance with this Price List section will be billed at rates equal to the Company’s tariffed interstate switched access rates as provided in Sprint’s Tariff F.C.C. No. 13, unless intrastate rates are lower in which case they will be rated at the intrastate charges. Intrastate VoIP-PSTN not required to be billed at the interstate rates pursuant to this Section will be billed in accordance with the intrastate rate provisions of this Price List (absent an agreement between the company and the customer).

Toll VoIP-PSTN (Continued) 14.2 Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-Usage Factor Sprint will determine the number of Relevant Toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic minutes of use (“MOU”) to which interstate rates will be applied under subsection 14.1.1, above, by applying a Percent VoIP Usage (“PVU”) factor to the total intrastate access MOU exchanged between the Sprint’s end user and the customer. The PVU will be derived and applied as follows: (1) The customer will calculate and furnish to Sprint a factor for Percentage VoIP Usage - Customer (“PVU-C”) representing the percentage of the total intrastate and interstate access MOU that the customer exchanges with the Sprint in the State, that (a) is sent to Sprint and that originated in IP format; or (b) is received from Sprint and terminated in IP format. This PVU-C shall be based on information such as the number of the customer’s retail VoIP subscriptions in the state (e.g., as reported on FCC Form 477), traffic studies, actual call detail, or other relevant and verifiable information. (2) Sprint will, likewise, calculate a factor for Percentage VoIP Usage - Sprint (“PVU-S”) representing the percentage of Sprint’s total intrastate and interstate access MOU in the State that Sprint originates or terminates on its network in IP format. This PVU-S shall be based on information such as the number of Sprint’s retail VoIP subscriptions in the state (e.g., as reported on FCC Form 477), traffic studies, actual call detail, or other relevant and verifiable information. (3) Sprint will use the PVU-C and PVU-S factors to calculate a PVU factor that represents the percentage of total intrastate and interstate access MOU exchanged between Sprint’s end user and the customer that is originated or terminated in IP format, whether at Sprint’s end, at the customer’s end, or at both ends. The PVU factor will be calculated as the sum of (A) the PVU-C factor and (B) the PVU-S factor times (1.0 minus the PVU-C factor).

Price List No. 5 Original Page 123 Acceptance Stamp ACCESS SERVICE 14. Toll VoIP-PSTN (Continued) 14.2 Calculation and Application of Percent-VoIP-Usage Factor (Continued) (4) Sprint will apply the PVU factor to the total intrastate access MOU exchanged with the customer to determine the number of Relevant VoIP-PSTN Traffic MOUs. Example 1: The PVU-S is 10% and the PVU-C is 40%. The PVU factor is equal to 40% + (10% x 60%) = 46%. The Company will bill 46% of the customer’s intrastate access MOU at the Company’s applicable tariffed interstate or intrastate switched access rates, whichever is lower. Example 2: The PVU-S is 10% and the PVU-C is 0%. The PVU factor is 0% + (10% x 100%) = 10%. The Company will bill 10% of the customer’s intrastate access MOU at the Company’s applicable tariffed interstate or intrastate switched access rates, whichever is lower.
