4.2

Subject to Exhibit B hereto, resold services can only be used in the same manner as specified in AT&T’s Tariffs. AT&T will make available for resale by SouthEast on resold lines AT&T's federally tariffed ADSL service; provided, however, that the wholesale discount shall not apply to such ADSL service. Resold services are subject to the same terms and conditions as are specified for such services when furnished to an individual End User of AT&T in the appropriate section of AT&T’s Tariffs. Specific tariff features (e.g., a usage allowance per month) shall not be aggregated across multiple resold services.

4.3	SouthEast may resell services only within the specific service area as defined in its certificate of operation approved by the Commission.

5.	Maintenance of Services

5.1

SouthEast will adopt and adhere to the standards contained in the current version in effect, as appropriate, and as they are amended from time to time during this Agreement, in the applicable AT&T Operational Understanding regarding maintenance of service. Changes to the AT&T Operational Understanding impacting either party will require thirty (30) days prior notice. Further, SouthEast will not be responsible to adhere to any changes made without thirty (30) days notice from AT&T. The AT&T Operational Understanding can be accessed via the internet @ ttp://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.XX&X.xxx.

5.2	Services resold pursuant to this Attachment and AT&T’s General Subscriber Service Tariff and Private Line Service Tariff and facilities and equipment provided by AT&T shall be maintained by AT&T.

5.3	SouthEast or its End Users may not rearrange, move, disconnect, remove or attempt to repair any facilities owned by AT&T except with the written consent of AT&T.

5.7

AT&T will bill SouthEast for handling troubles that are found not to be in AT&T's network pursuant to its standard time and material charges. The standard time and material charges will be no more than what AT&T charges to its retail customers for the same services. In order for the charges to be applicable, the trouble would have to be found and resolved in the AT&T network within thirty (30) days of the original report and the reported trouble must have been previously closed to SouthEast by AT&T as no trouble found in the AT&T network. This paragraph in no way relieves SouthEast of their responsibility to conform with the prescreening responsibilities required of CLECs outlined in the Operational Understanding.

Attachment 1- Resale

07/25/08

5.8

AT&T and SouthEast will work cooperatively to identify and resolve chronic troubles in either party’s network. Both parties agree that any payment of charges resulting from a no trouble found condition as described in paragraph 5.7 will be credited to the paying party if the trouble is ultimately found and cleared in the other party’s network. The parties also recognize that multiple dispatches may have resulted by both parties to resolve the same type of trouble and that payment of charges as outlined in paragraph 5.7 may be billed to the appropriate party. The parties agree to work cooperatively to resolve any disputes resulting from the process described in this paragraph.

5.9	AT&T reserves the right to contact SouthEast’s End Users, if deemed necessary, for maintenance purposes.

6.	Establishment of Service

6.1

After receiving certification as a local exchange company from the appropriate regulatory agency, SouthEast will provide the appropriate AT&T service center the necessary documentation to enable AT&T to establish a master account for SouthEast’s resold services. Such documentation shall include the Application for Master Account, proof of authority to provide telecommunications services, an Operating Company Number ("OCN") assigned by the National Exchange Carriers Association ("NECA") and a tax exemption certificate, if applicable. When necessary deposit requirements are met, as described in Section 6.6 below, AT&T will begin taking orders for the resale of service. Service orders will be in a standard format designated by AT&T.

6.2

SouthEast shall provide to AT&T a blanket letter of authorization ("LOA") certifying that SouthEast will have End User authorization prior to viewing the End User's customer service record or switching the End User's service. AT&T will not require End User confirmation prior to establishing service for SouthEast’s End User customer. SouthEast must, however, be able to demonstrate End User authorization upon request.

6.3

AT&T will accept a request directly from the End User for conversion of the End User's service from SouthEast to AT&T or will accept a request from another CLEC for conversion of the End User's service from SouthEast to such other CLEC. Upon completion of the conversion AT&T will notify SouthEast that such conversion has been completed.

6.4

If AT&T determines that an unauthorized change in local service to SouthEast has occurred, AT&T will reestablish service with the appropriate local service provider and will assess SouthEast as the CLEC initiating the unauthorized change, the unauthorized change charge described in FCC Tariff No. 1, Section 13 or applicable state tariff. Appropriate nonrecurring charges, as set forth in Section A4 of the General Subscriber Service Tariff, will also be assessed to SouthEast. These charges can be adjusted if SouthEast provides satisfactory proof of authorization.

Attachment 1- Resale

SouthEast

07/25/08

6.5	AT&T reserves the right to secure the account with a suitable form of security deposit, unless satisfactory credit has already been established.

6.6.1

Such security deposit shall take the form of cash for cash equivalent, an irrevocable Letter of Credit or other forms of security acceptable to AT&T. Any such security deposit may be held during the continuance of the service as security for the payment of any and all amounts accruing for the service.

6.6.2

If a security deposit is required, such security deposit shall be made prior to the inauguration of service.

6.6.3

Such security deposit shall be two months' estimated billing.

6.6.4

The fact that a security deposit has been made in no way relieves SouthEast from complying with AT&T's regulations as to advance payments and the prompt payment of bills on presentation nor does it constitute a waiver or modification of the regular practices of AT&T providing for the discontinuance of service for non-payment of any sums due AT&T.

6.6.5

AT&T reserves the right to increase the security deposit requirements after a thirty (30) day notice, when, in its reasonable judgment, changes in SouthEast's financial status so warrant and/or gross monthly billing has increased beyond the level initially used to determine the security deposit.

6.6.6.

In the event service to SouthEast is terminated due to SouthEast's default on its account, any security deposits held will be applied to SouthEast's account.

6.6.6.1

Interest on a cash or cash equivalent security deposit shall accrue and be paid in accordance with the terms in the appropriate AT&T tariff.

7.	Payment And Billing Arrangements

1.4.3.1

Facilities that do not terminate at a demarcation point at an End User premises, including, by way of example, but not limited to, facilities that terminate to another carrier’s switch or premises, a cell site, Mobile Switching Center or base station, do not constitute local Loops under Section 251, except to the extent that SouthEast may require Loops to such locations for the purpose of providing telecommunications services to its personnel at those locations.

1.4.4

Conversion of Wholesale Services to Network Elements or Network Elements to Wholesale Services

1.4.4.1

Upon request, AT&T shall convert a wholesale service, or group of wholesale services, to the equivalent Network Element or Combination that is available to SouthEast pursuant to this Agreement, or convert a Network Element or Combination that is available to SouthEast under this Agreement to an equivalent wholesale service or group of wholesale services offered by AT&T (collectively “Conversion”). AT&T shall charge the applicable nonrecurring switch-as-is rates for Conversions to specific Network Elements or Combinations found in Exhibit 1 of Attachment 2. AT&T shall also charge the same nonrecurring switch-as-is rates when converting from Network Elements or Combinations. Any rate change resulting from the Conversion will be effective as of the next billing cycle following AT&T’s receipt of a complete and accurate Conversion request from SouthEast. A Conversion shall be considered termination for purposes of any volume and/or term commitments and/or grandfathered status between SouthEast and AT&T. Any change from a wholesale service/group of wholesale services to a Network Element/Combination, or from a Network Element/Combination to a wholesale service/group of wholesale services that requires a physical rearrangement will not be considered to be a Conversion for purposes of this Agreement. AT&T will not require physical rearrangements if the Conversion can be completed through record changes only. Orders for Conversions will be handled in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Ordering Guidelines and Processes and CLEC Information Packages.

1.4.4.2

Any outstanding conversions shall be effective on or after the effective date of this Agreement.

1.5	AT&T shall comply with the requirements as set forth in the technical references within Attachment 2 to the extent that they are consistent with the greater of AT&T’s actual performance or applicable industry standards.

1.6	Procedures for Additional Designations of “Non-Impaired” Wire Centers.

1.6.1

If AT&T seeks to designate additional wire centers as “non-impaired” for purposes of the FCC’s Triennial Review Remand Order (TRRO), AT&T shall file with the Commission a proposed list of any new “non-impaired” wire centers on April 1 of each year (coincident with its filing of ARMIS 43-08 data with the FCC). The list of additional “non-impaired” wire centers filed by AT&T will reflect the number of Business Lines and fiber-based collocators, as of December 31 of the previous year, in each wire center that AT&T proposes be considered “non-impaired.”

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

SouthEast

07/25/08

1.6.2

Designation by AT&T of additional “non-impaired” wire centers will be based on the following criteria:

The CLLI of the wire center.

The number of switched business lines served by AT&T in that wire center based upon data as reported in ARMIS 43-08 for the previous year.

The sum of all UNE Loops connected to each wire center, including UNE Loops provisioned in combination with other elements.

A completed worksheet that shows, in detail, any conversion of access lines to voice grade equivalents.

The names of any carriers relied upon as fiber-based collocators.

1.6.3

SouthEast shall have until May 1 to file a challenge to any new wire center named by AT&T in any such April 1 filing.

1.6.4

AT&T and XxxxxXxxx agree to resolve disputes concerning AT&T’s additional wire center designations in dispute resolution proceedings before the Commission.

1.6.5

Changes to wire center designations shall become effective July 1 following the April 1 filing by AT&T to the extent that such changes are approved by the Commission by that date.

1.6.6

SouthEast shall have 120 days from July 1 to submit spreadsheets to disconnect or convert to other services all noncompliant circuits in such additional unimpaired wire centers. All such conversions will be subject to applicable disconnect charges set forth in this Agreement for requests to disconnect circuits, or to switch-as-is charges set forth in this Agreement for conversions to equivalent tariffed services. If SouthEast fails to submit such spreadsheet within the 120 day period, AT&T will identify and convert noncompliant circuits to equivalent tariffed services, and such conversion shall be subject to all applicable disconnect charges as set forth in this Agreement and the full nonrecurring charges for installation of the equivalent tariffed AT&T services as set forth in AT&T’s tariffs. Recurring charges for such tariffed services shall apply as of July 1.

1.7	SouthEast will adopt and adhere to the standards contained in the applicable AT&T Operational Understanding regarding maintenance of service.

1.8	Standards for Network Elements

1.8.1

AT&T shall comply with the requirements set forth in the technical references, as well as any performance or other requirements identified in this Agreement, to the extent that they are consistent with the greater of AT&T’s actual performance or applicable industry standards.

1.9

Rates

The prices that SouthEast shall pay to AT&T for Network Elements and Other Services are set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Attachment. If SouthEast purchases a service(s) from a tariff, all terms and conditions and rates as set forth in such tariff shall apply, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.

1.10	Operational Support Systems (OSS)

The terms, conditions and rates for OSS are as set forth in Section 2.13 of this Attachment.

1.11	For the purposes of this Attachment 2, the following definitions apply:

1.11.1

(i) Business Line

A “Business Line” is, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 51.5.

1.11.2

(ii) Fiber-Based Collocation

For purposes of this Amendment, “Fiber-Based Collocator” is, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 51.5 and the AT&T/AT&T Merger Order.

1.11.3

(iii) Building

A “Building” is defined as a permanent physical structure including, but not limited to, a structure in which people reside, conduct business or work on a daily basis and which has a unique street address assigned to it. As an example only, a high rise office building with a general telecommunications equipment room through which all telecommunications services to that building’s tenants must pass would be a single “building” for purposes of this Amendment. With respect to multi-tenant property with a single street address, an individual tenant’s space shall constitute one “building” for purposes of this Amendment (1) if the multi-tenant structure is subject to separate ownership of each tenant’s space, or (2) if the multi-tenant structure is under single ownership and there is no centralized point of entry in the structure through which all telecommunications services must transit. For instance, a strip mall with individual businesses obtaining telecommunication services from different access points on the building(s) will be considered individual buildings, even though they might share common walls. A building for purposes of this Amendment does not include convention centers, arenas, exposition halls, and other locations that are routinely used for special events of limited duration.

1.11.4

(iv) Route

For purposes of this Amendment, a “Route” is defined as a transmission path between one of AT&T’s wire centers or switches and another of AT&T’s wire centers or switches. A route between two (2) points may pass through one or more intermediate wire centers or switches. Transmission paths between identical end points are the same “route”, irrespective of whether they pass through the same intermediate wire centers or switches, if any.

1.12

Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Attachment, SouthEast may not maintain unbundled network elements or combinations of unbundled network elements that are no longer offered pursuant to this Agreement (collectively “Arrangements”). In the event AT&T determines that SouthEast has in place any Arrangements after the Effective Date of this Amendment, AT&T shall provide notice to the point of contact set forth in the General Terms and Conditions of this Agreement identifying those Arrangements that are no longer available pursuant to this Agreement. SouthEast shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to transition all Local Switching and UNE-P arrangements and sixty (60) days to transition all other Arrangements. Those circuits identified by SouthEast within such thirty (30) or sixty (60) day period, as applicable, shall be subject to applicable disconnect or switch-as-is charges pursuant to this Agreement. If SouthEast fails to submit orders to disconnect or convert such Arrangements within the aforementioned timeframes, AT&T will transition such circuits to the equivalent tariffed AT&T service(s). The applicable recurring tariff charges shall apply to each circuit as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

2.	Unbundled Loops, Network Interfaces Device, Unbundled Loop Concentration (ULC) System, and Sub loops

All of the negotiated rates, terms and conditions set forth in this Section pertain to the provision of unbundled loops.

2.1	Unbundled Loops

2.1.1

General. The local loop network element (“Loop(s)”) is defined as a transmission facility between a distribution frame (or its equivalent) in AT&T’s central office and the loop demarcation point at an end-user customer premises. The local loop network element includes all features, functions, and capabilities of the transmission facilities, including the network interface device, and attached electronics (except those used for the provision of advanced services, such as Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers), optronics and intermediate devices (including repeaters and load coils) used to establish the tranmission path to the customer's premises, including inside wire owned or controlled by AT&T. SouthEast shall purchase the entire bandwidth of the Loop and, except as required herein or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties, AT&T shall not subdivide the frequency of the Loop.

2.1.2

The Loop does not include any packet switched features, functions or capabilities.

2.1.3

Fiber to the Home (FTTH) loops are local loops consisting entirely of fiber optic cable, whether dark or lit, serving an End User’s premises or, in the case of predominantly residential multiple dwelling units (MDUs), a fiber optic cable, whether dark or lit, that extends to the MDU minimum point of entry (MPOE).

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 8 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.1.3.1

Fiber to the Curb (FTTC) loops are local loops consisting of fiber optic cable connecting to a copper distribution plant that is not more than five hundred (500) feet from the End User’s premises or, in the case of predominantly residential MDUs, not more than five hundred (500) feet from the MDU’s MPOE. The fiber optic cable in a FTTC loop must connect to a copper distribution plant at a serving area interface from which every other copper distribution subloop also is not more than five hundred (500) feet from the respective End User’s premises.

2.1.3.2

In new build (Greenfield) areas, where AT&T has only deployed FTTH/FTTC facilities, AT&T is under no obligation to provide Loops. FTTH facilities include fiber loops deployed to the MPOE of a MDU that is predominantly residential regardless of the ownership of the inside wiring from the MPOE to each End User in the MDU.

2.1.3.3

Overbuild Requirements: In FTTH/FTTC overbuild situations where AT&T also has copper Loops, AT&T will make those copper Loops available to SouthEast on an unbundled basis, until such time as AT&T chooses to retire those copper Loops using the FCC’s network disclosure requirements. In these cases, AT&T will offer a sixty-four (64) kilobits per second (kbps) voice grade channel over its FTTH/FTTC facilities.

2.1.3.4

Furthermore, in FTTH/FTTC overbuild areas where AT&T has not yet retired copper facilities, AT&T is not obligated to ensure that such copper loops in that area are capable of transmitting signals prior to receiving a request for access to such loops by SouthEast. If a request is received by AT&T for a copper loop, and the copper facilities have not yet been retired, AT&T will restore the copper loop to serviceable condition if technically feasible. In these instances of loop orders in an FTTH/FTTC overbuild area, AT&T’s standard loop provisioning interval will not apply, and the order will be handled on a project basis by which the Parties will negotiate the applicable provisioning interval.

2.1.3.

DS1/DS3 Requirements: Nothwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section shall limit AT&T's obligation to offer CLECs unbundled DS1 and DS3 loops (or loop/transport combination), regardless of the Loop medium employed, in any wire center were AT&T is required to provide such loop facilities.

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 9 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.1.4

Hybrid loops are defined in the federal rules at 47 CFR §51.319(a)(2) as local loops, composed of both fiber optic cable, usually in the feeder plant, and copper twisted wire or cable, usually in the distribution plant. AT&T shall provide SouthEast with nondiscriminatory access to the time division multiplexing features, functions and capabilities of such hybrid loop, including DS1 and DS3 capacity under Section 251 where impairment exists, on an unbundled basis to establish a complete transmission path between AT&T’s central office and an End User’s premises. AT&T is not required to provide access to the packet switched features, functions and capabilities of its hybrid loops.

2.1.4.1

AT&T shall not engineer the transmission capabilities of its network in a manner, or engage in any policy, practice, or procedure, that disrupts or degrades access to a local loop or subloop, including the time division multiplexing-based features, functions, and capabilities of a hybrid loop, for which a requesting telecommunications carrier may obtain or has obtained access pursuant to this Attachment.

2.1.5

In the case of disconnection, the applicable disconnect charges set forth in this Agreement shall apply.

2.1.6.2.6.1

If SouthEast fails to submit the spreadsheet(s) specified in Section 2.1.6.2.6 above for all of its Embedded Base on or before September 10, 2006, AT&T will identify SouthEast’s remaining Embedded Base, if any, and will transition such circuits to the equivalent tariffed AT&T service(s). Those circuits identified and transitioned by AT&T pursuant to this Section 2.1.6.2.6.1 shall be subject to the switch-as-is rates set forth in this Agreement for conversions to equivalent tariffed services.

2.1.6.2.6.2

For Embedded Base circuits converted or transitioned, the applicable recurring tariff charge shall apply to each circuit as of September 11, 2006. The transition of the Embedded Base circuits should be performed in a manner that avoids, or otherwise minimizes to the extent possible, disruption or degradation to SouthEast’s customers’ service.

2.1.7

The provisioning of service to a CLEC’s collocation space will require cross-office cabling and cross-connections within the central office to the CLEC’s Collocation Space. These cross-connects are a separate component, that are not considered a part of the loop, and thus, have a separate charge.

2.1.8

AT&T Order Coordination referenced in Attachment 2 includes two types: “Order Coordination” (OC) and “Order Coordination - Time Specific” (OC-TS).

2.1.8.1

“Order Coordination” refers to standard AT&T service order coordination involving the reuse of facilities where SouthEast is requesting that their loop order be provisioned over an existing circuit that is currently providing service to the end user. Order coordination for physical conversions will be scheduled at AT&T’s discretion during normal working hours on the committed due date and SouthEast will be advised. OC will be provided as a standard item on SL2 voice grade loops and all Unbundled Digital Loops (UDLs). OC will be provided as a chargeable option on SL1 voice grade loops, and all Unbundled Copper Loops.

2.1.8.2

“Order Coordination – Time Specific” refers to service order coordination in which SouthEast requests a specific time for a service order conversion to take place. AT&T will make every effort to accommodate SouthEast’s specific conversion time request. However, AT&T reserves the right to negotiate with SouthEast a conversion time based on load and appointment control when necessary. Loops on a single service order of 14 or more loops will be provisioned on a project basis. This is a chargeable option for any coordinated order and is billed in addition to the OC charge. SouthEast may specify a time between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (location time) Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). If SouthEast specifies a time outside this window, or selects a time or quantity of loops that requires AT&T technicians to work outside normal work hours, overtime charges will apply in addition to the OC and OC-TS charges. Overtime charges will be applied according to actual costs based on type of force group required to perform the work, overtime hours worked and any special circumstances.

If SouthEast requests work to be done for any UNE loop that requires AT&T technicians to work outside normal work hours, overtime charges will be applied according to actual costs based on type of force group required to perform the work, overtime hours worked and any special circumstances.

Order Coordination-Time Specific charge for orders due on same day at same location will be applied on a per LSR basis. For UVL-SL1, SouthEast must order OC when requesting OC-TS.

2.1.9

Where facilities are available, AT&T will install loops in compliance with AT&T’s Interval Guide available at the website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.XX&X.xxx. For orders of 14 or more loops, the installation will be handled on a project basis and the intervals will be set by the AT&T project manager for that order. Some loops require a Service Inquiry (SI) to determine if facilities are available prior to issuing the order. The interval for the SI process is separate from the installation interval. For expedite requests by XxxxxXxxx, expedite charges will apply for intervals less than 5 days. The charges outlined in AT&T’s FCC No. 1 Tariff, Section 5, will apply. If SouthEast cancels an order for network elements and other services, any costs incurred by AT&T in conjunction with the provisioning of that order will be recovered in accordance with FCC No. 1 Tariff, Section 5.

2.1.10

If SouthEast modifies an order after being sent a Firm Order Confirmation (FOC) from AT&T, any costs incurred by AT&T to accommodate the modification will be paid by SouthEast.

2.1.11

AT&T will offer Unbundled Voice Loops (UVL) in two different service levels - Service Level One (SL1) and Service Level Two (SL2).

2.1.12

SL1 loops are 2-wire loop start circuits, will be non-designed, and will not have remote access test points. OC will be offered as a chargeable option on SLI loops when reuse of existing facilities has been requested by SouthEast. SouthEast may also order OC-TS when a specified conversion time is requested. OC-TS is a chargeable option for any coordinated order and is billed in addition to the OC charge. An Engineering Information (EI) document can be ordered as chargeable option. The EI document provides loop make up information which is similar to the information normally provided in a Design Layout Record. Upon issuance of a non-coordinated order in the service order system, SL1 loops will be activated on the due date in the same manner and time frames that AT&T normally activates POTS-type loops for its customers

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.1.13

SL2 loops may be 2-wire or 4-wire circuits, shall have remote access test points, and will be designed with a design layout record provided to SouthEast, SL2 circuits can be provisioned with loop start, ground start or reverse batter signaling. OC is provided as a standard feature on SL2 loops. The OC feature will allow SouthEast to coordinate the installation of the loop with the disconnect of an existing customer’s service and/or number portability service. In these cases, AT&T will perform the order conversion with standard order coordination at its discretion during normal work hours.

2.1.14

AT&T will also offer Unbundled Digital Loops (UDL).

2.1.14.1

UDLs are service specific and will be designed, will be provisioned with test points (where appropriate), and will come standard with OC and a DLR. The various UDLs are intended to support a specific digital transmission scheme or service. The UDL loops are as follows:

2.1.14.2

UDC/IDSL. Due to technical limitations associated with certain Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) systems, some ISDN-capable loops that are provisioned using DLC systems may not support Integrated Digital Subscriber Line (IDSL) service. AT&T will not reconfigure its ISDN-capable loop to support IDSL service.

2.1.14.3

Instead, AT&T agrees to offer the Universal Digital Channel (UDC), which may also be referred to as an IDSL-capable loop as part of its UDL offerings. The UDC loop is intended to be compatible with IDSL service and has the same physical characteristics and transmission specifications as AT&T’s ISDN-capable loop. These specifications are listed in AT&T’s TR73600.

2.1.14.4

Like the ISDN-capable loop, the UDC may be provisioned on copper or through a DLC system. However, when UDCs are provisioned using a DLC system, AT&T will ensure that they are only provisioned on time slots that are compatible with data-only services such as IDSL.

2.1.14.5

HDSL-capable. This is a designed loop that is provisioned according to Carrier Serving Area (CSA) criteria and may be up to 12,000 feet long and may have up to 2,500 feet of bridged tap (inclusive of loop length). It may be a 2-wire or 4-wire circuit and will come standard with a test point, Order Coordination, and a DLR.

2.1.14.6

ADSL-capable. This is a designed loop that is provisioned according to Revised Resistance Design (RRD) criteria and may be up to 18kft long and may have up to 6kft of bridged tap (inclusive of loop length). It may be a 2-wire or 4-wire circuit and will come standard with a test point, Order Coordination, and a DLR.

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 15 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.1.14.7

DS1. This is a designed 4-wire loop that is provisioned according to industry standards for DS1 or Primary Rate ISDN services and will come standard with a test point, Order Coordination, and a DLR.

2.1.14.8

DS0. These are designed 4-wire loops that may be configured as 64kbps, 56kbps, 19kbps, and other sub-rate speeds associated with digital data services and will come standard with a test point, Order Coordination, and a DLR.

2.1.15

As a chargeable option on all loops except the Universal Digital Channel (UDC) and all Unbundled Copper Loops (UCLs), AT&T will offer OC-TS. This will allow SouthEast the ability to specify the time that the coordinated conversion takes place. The OC-TS charge for orders due on the same day at the same location will be applied on a per Local Service Request (LSR) basis.

2.1.16

In addition to the UVLs and UDLs, AT&T shall make available Unbundled Copper Loops (UCLs). The UCL will be a copper twisted pair loop that is unencumbered by any intervening equipment (e.g., filters, load coils, range extenders, digital loop carrier, or repeaters). The UCL will be offered in two versions - Short and Long. A short UCL (18 kft or less) will be provisioned according to Resistance Design parameters, may have up to 6kft of bridged tap and will have up to 1300 ohms of resistance. The long UCL (beyond 18kft) will be any dry copper pair longer than 18kft and may have up to 12kft of bridged tap and up to 2800 ohms of resistance. Unbundled Loop Modifications (ULM) may be used when a CLEC wants to condition copper loops by removing load coils and other intervening equipment. In almost every case, the UCL long will require ULM to remove load coils. AT&T will only ensure electrical continuity and balance relative to tip and ring on UCLs.

2.1.17

The UCL is a designed circuit, is provisioned with a test point and comes standard with a DLR. OC will be offered as a chargeable option on all UCL loops. OC is required on UCLs where a reuse of existing facilities has been requested by SouthEast. Order Coordination – Time Specific (OC-TS) will not be offered on UCLs.

2.1.18

The UCL is a dry copper loop and is not intended to support any particular telecommunications service. SouthEast may use the UCL loop for a variety of services, including xDSL (e.g., ADSL and HDSL) services, by means of appropriate customer terminal equipment of SouthEast’s choosing. SouthEast will determine the type of service that will be provided over the loop.

2.1.19

Because the UCL loop shall be an unbundled loop offering that is separate and distinct from AT&T’s ADSL and HDSL capable loop offerings, SouthEast agrees that AT&T’s UCL loop will not be held to the service level and performance expectations that apply to its ADSL and HDSL unbundled loop offerings. AT&T shall only be obligated to maintain copper continuity and provide balance relative to tip and ring on UCL loops.

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 16 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.1.20

All UNE loops offered by AT&T shall be provided to SouthEast in accordance with AT&T’s Technical Reference 73600.

2.1.21

SouthEast will be responsible for testing and isolating troubles on the loops. Once SouthEast has isolated a trouble to the AT&T provided loop, SouthEast will issue a trouble to AT&T on the loop. AT&T will take the actions necessary to repair the loop if a trouble actually exists. AT&T will repair these loops in the same time frames that AT&T repairs similarly situated loops to its customers.

2.1.22

If a party reports a trouble on SL1 loops and no trouble actually exists, the parties will charge each other for any dispatching and testing (both inside and outside the CO) required in order to confirm the loop’s working status.

2.1.23

SouthEast must test and isolate trouble to the AT&T portion of the SL2 loop before reporting repair to UNE Center. At the time of the trouble report, SouthEast will be required to provide the results of the SouthEast test which indicate a problem on the AT&T provided loop. If either party reports a trouble on SL2 loops and no trouble actually exists, they may charge the other party for any dispatching and testing, (outside the CO) required in order to confirm the loop’s working status.

2.1.24

Technical Requirements

2.1.24.1

To the extent available within AT&T’s Network at a particular location, AT&T will offer loops capable of supporting telecommunications services such as: POTS, Centrex, basic rate ISDN, analog PBX, voice grade private line, ADSL, HDSL, DS1 and digital data (up to 64 kb/s). If a requested loop type is not available, then the CLEC can use the Special Construction process to request that AT&T place facilities or otherwise modify facilities in order to meet SouthEast’s request.

2.1.24.2

SouthEast will be responsible for providing AT&T with a Service Profile Identifier (SPID) associated with a particular ISDN-capable loop and end user. With the SPID, AT&T will be able to adequately test the circuit and ensure that it properly supports ISDN service.

2.1.24.3

The loop will support the transmission, signaling, performance and interface requirements of the services described in 2.1.2 above. It is recognized that the requirements of different services are different, and that a number of types or grades of loops are required to support these services. Services provided over the loop by SouthEast will be consistent with industry standards and AT&T’s TR73600.

2.1.24.4

SouthEast may utilize the unbundled loops to provide any telecommunication service it wishes. However, AT&T will only provision, maintain and repair the loops to the standards that are consistent with the type of loop ordered. For example, if SouthEast orders an ISDN-capable loop but wants to use the loop for a service other than ISDN, AT&T will only support that the loop is capable of providing ISDN service. For non-service specific loops (e.g. UCL, loops modified by SouthEast using the Special Construction process), AT&T will only support that the loop has copper continuity and balanced tip-and-ring.

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 17 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.1.24.5

In some instances, SouthEast will require access to a copper twisted pair loop unfettered by any intervening equipment (e.g., filters, load coils, range extenders, etc.), so that SouthEast can use the loop for a variety of services by attaching appropriate terminal equipment at the ends. SouthEast will determine the type of service that will be provided over the loop. In some cases, SouthEast may be required to pay additional charges for the removal of certain types of equipment. AT&T’s Unbundled Loop Modifications (ULM) process will be used to determine the costs and feasibility of these activities.

2.1.24.6

In those cases where SouthEast has requested that AT&T modify a loop so that it no longer meets the technical parameters of the original loop type (e.g., voice grade, ISDN, ADSL, etc.) the resulting modified loop will be ordered and maintained as a UCL.

2.1.24.7

The loop shall be provided to SouthEast in accordance with AT&T’s TR73600 Unbundled Local Loop Technical Specification and applicable industry standard technical references.

2.1.25.10

Unbundled Loop (DS1 and below) Service Rearrangements

2.1.25.10.1

The Unbundled Loop Service Rearrangement processes will allow changes to be made to a working Loop facility assignment within the same end-user serving wire center. Service Rearrangements will result in service outages to the customer during the time the Loop is being moved.

2.1.25.10.2

An Unbundled Loop Service Rearrangement connecting facility change (CFC) allows SouthEast to change its installed Loop from one working facility assignment to another facility assignment. CFC includes Connecting Facility Assignment (CFA) and Cable ID & Pair changes within same collocation arrangement or from collocation to collocation. CFA changes are allowed within the same multiplexer or from one multiplexer to another multiplexer. For a CFC, the Loop class of service, Loop type and the customer must remain the same.

2.1.25.10.3

An Unbundled Loop Service Rearrangement connecting facility move (CFM) allows SouthEast to move the Loop facility assignment from a collocation arrangement to a multiplexer or from a multiplexer to a collocation arrangement. CFMs require a change to the Loop basic class of service. The Loop type and the customer must remain the same.

2.1.25.10.4

For Unbundled Loop Service Rearrangements, AT&T shall charge the applicable “Service Rearrangement change in Loop facility” rate found in Exhibit A. The Unbundled Loop Service Rearrangement process and requirements will be handled in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Ordering Guidelines and CLEC Information Packages located on AT&T’s CLEC Online website.

2.2	Line Conditioning

2.2.1

AT&T shall perform line conditioning in accordance with FCC 47 C.F.R. 51.319 (a)(1)(iii). Line Conditioning is as defined in FCC 47 C.F.R. 51.319 (a)(1)(iii)(A). Insofar as it is technically feasible, AT&T shall test and report troubles for all the features, functions, and capabilities of conditioned copper lines, and may not restrict its testing to voice transmission only.

2.2.2

AT&T will remove load coils and bridged tap on copper Loops and Subloops of any length. AT&T shall not charge SouthEast for removal of load coils and bridged tap on copper loops and subloops shorter than 18,000 feet. Removal of load coils and bridged tap on copper loops and subloops greater than 18,000 feet shall be billed at TELRIC rates set forth in Exhibit 1 of Attachment 2 of the Agreement.

2.3	Integrated Digital Loop Carriers

2.3.1

Where AT&T uses Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) systems to provide the local loop and AT&T has a suitable alternate facility available, AT&T will make arrangements to permit SouthEast to order a contiguous local loop. To the extent it is technically feasible, these arrangements will provide SouthEast with the capability to serve end users at a level that is at parity with the level of service AT&T provides its customers. If no alternate facility is available, AT&T will utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision the loop facilities. SouthEast will then have the option of paying the SC rates to place the loop facilities or SouthEast may chose some other method of providing service to the end-user (e.g., Resale, private facilities, etc.).

2.4	Network Interface Device

2.4.1

Definition

The NID is defined as any means of interconnection of end-user customer inside wire to AT&T’s distribution plant, such as a cross-connect device used for that purpose. The NID is a single-line termination device or that portion of a multiple-line termination device required to terminate a single line or circuit at the premises. The NID features two independent xxxxxxxx or divisions that separate the service provider’s network from the End User’s on-premises wiring. Each chamber or division contains the appropriate connection points or posts to which the service provider and the end user each make their connections. The NID provides a protective ground connection and is capable of terminating cables such as twisted pair cable.

2.4.2

AT&T shall permit SouthEast to connect SouthEast’s loop facilities the end-user’s inside wire through the AT&T NID or at any other technically feasible point.

2.4.3

Access to Network Interface Device (NID)

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 19 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.4.3.1

Due to the wide variety of NIDs utilized by AT&T (based on subscriber size and environmental considerations), SouthEast may access the end user’s wire by any of the following means: 1) AT&T shall allow SouthEast to connect its loops directly to AT&T’s multi-line residential NID enclosures that have additional space and are not used by AT&T or any other telecommunications carriers to provide service to the premise. It is the responsibility of SouthEast to leave undisturbed the existing form of electrical protection and to maintain the physical integrity of the NID. 2) Where an adequate length of the end user’s inside wire is present and environmental conditions permit, either Party may remove the inside wire from the other Party’s NID and connect that wire to that Party’s own NID; 3) Enter the subscriber access chamber or “side” of “dual chamber” NID enclosures for the purpose of extending a connecterized or spliced jumper wire from the inside wiring through a suitable “punch-out” hole of such NID enclosures; or 4) Request AT&T to make other rearrangements to the inside wiring terminations or terminal enclosure on a time and materials cost basis to be charged to the requesting Party (i.e., SouthEast, its agent, the building owner or the subscriber). Such charges will be billed to the requesting Party.

2.4.3.2

In no case shall either Party remove or disconnect the other Party’s loop facilities from either Party’s NIDs, enclosures, or protectors unless the applicable Commission has expressly permitted the same and the disconnecting Party provides prior notice to the other Party. In such cases, it shall be the responsibility of the Party disconnecting loop facilities to leave undisturbed the existing form of electrical protection and to maintain the physical integrity of the NID. It will be the CLEC’s responsibility to ensure there is no safety hazard and will hold AT&T harmless for any liability associated with the removal of the AT&T loop from the AT&T NID. Furthermore, it shall be the responsibility of the disconnecting Party, once the other Party’s loop has been disconnected from the NID, to reconnect the disconnected loop to a nationally- recognized–testing-laboratory-listed station protector, which has been grounded as per Article 800 of the National Electrical Code. If no spare station protector exists in the NID, the disconnected loop must be appropriately cleared, capped and stored. If CLEC does not wish to accept these responsibilities, other options exist in which AT&T installs a NID for the CLEC as a chargeable option.

2.4.3.3

In no case shall either Party remove or disconnect ground wires from AT&T’s NIDs, enclosures, or protectors.

2.4.3.4

In no case shall either Party remove or disconnect NID modules, protectors, or terminals from AT&T’s NID enclosures.

2.4.4

Technical Requirements

2.4.4.1

The NID shall provide an accessible point of interconnection and shall maintain a connection to ground.

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

2.4.4.2

If an existing NID is accessed, it shall be capable of transferring electrical analog or digital signals between the subscriber’s inside wiring and the Distribution Media and/or cross connect to SouthEast’s NID.

2.4.4.3

Where a AT&T NID exists, it is provided in its “as is” condition. SouthEast may request AT&T do additional work to the NID on a time and material basis. When SouthEast deploys its own local loops with respect to multiple-line termination devices, SouthEast shall specify the quantity of NIDs connections that it requires within such device.

2.4.5

Interface Requirements

2.4.5.1

The NID shall be equal to or better than all of the requirements for NIDs set forth in the applicable industry standard technical references.

2.5	Unbundled Loop Concentration (ULC) System

2.5.1

AT&T will provide to SouthEast Unbundled Loop Concentration (ULC). Loop concentration systems in the central office concentrate the signals transmitted over local loops onto a digital loop carrier system. The concentration device is placed inside a AT&T central office. AT&T will offer ULC with a TR008 interface or a TR303 interface.

2.5.2

ULC will be offered in two sizes. System A will allow up to 96 AT&T loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. The high-speed connection from the concentrator will be at the electrical DS1 level and will connect to SouthEast at SouthEast’s collocation site. System B will allow up to 192 AT&T loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. System A may be upgraded to a System B. A minimum of two DS1s is required for each system (i.e., System A requires two DS1s and System B would require an additional two DS1s or four in total). All DS1 interfaces will terminate to the CLEC’s collocation space. ULC service is offered with concentration (2 DS1s for 96 channels) - or without concentration (4 DS1s for 96 channels) and with or without protection. A Line Interface element will be required for each loop that is terminated onto the ULC system. Rates for ULC are as set forth in this Attachment.

2.6	Subloop Elements

2.6.1

Where facilities permit, AT&T shall offer access to its Unbundled Subloop (USL) elements as specified herein.

2.6.2

Unbundled Subloop Distribution (USLD)

2.6.2.1

The USLD facility is a dedicated transmission facility that AT&T provides from an End User’s point of demarcation to an AT&T cross-connect device. The AT&T cross-connect device may be located within a remote terminal (RT) or a stand-alone cross-box in the field or in the equipment room of a building and at any technically feasible point. The USLD media is a copper twisted pair that can be provisioned as a 2-wire or 4-wire facility. AT&T will make available the following subloop distribution offerings where facilities exist:

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 21 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

USLD – Voice Grade (USLD-VG)

Unbundled Copper Subloop (UCSL)

USLD – Intrabuilding Network Cable (USLD-INC (aka riser cable))

2.6.2.2

USLD-VG is a copper subloop facility from the cross-box in the field up to and including the point of demarcation at the End User’s premises and may have load coils.

2.6.2.3

UCSL is a copper facility eighteen thousand (18,000) feet or less in length provided from the cross-box in the field up to and including the End User’s point of demarcation. This facility will not have any intervening equipment such as load coils between the End User and the cross-box.

2.6.2.4

If SouthEast requests a UCSL and it is not available, SouthEast may request the copper Subloop facility be modified pursuant to the ULM process to remove load coils and/or excessive bridged taps. If load coils and/or excessive bridged taps are removed, the facility will be classified as a UCSL.

2.6.2.5

USLD-INC is the distribution facility owned or controlled by AT&T inside a building or between buildings on the same property that is not separated by a public street or road. USLD-INC includes the facility from the cross-connect device in the building equipment room up to and including the point of demarcation at the End User’s premises.

2.6.2.6

Upon request for USLD-INC from SouthEast, AT&T will install a cross-connect panel in the building equipment room for the purpose of accessing USLD-INC pairs from a building equipment room. The cross-connect panel will function as a single point of interconnection (SPOI) for USLD-INC and will be accessible by multiple carriers as space permits. AT&T will place cross-connect blocks in twenty five (25) pair increments for SouthEast’s use on this cross-connect panel. SouthEast will be responsible for connecting its facilities to the twenty five (25) pair cross-connect block(s).

2.6.2.7

For access to Voice Grade USLD and UCSL, SouthEast shall install a cable to the AT&T cross-box pursuant to the terms and conditions for physical collocation for remote sites set forth in Attachment 4. This cable would be connected by an AT&T technician within the AT&T cross-box during the set-up process. SouthEast’s cable pairs can then be connected to AT&T’s USL within the AT&T cross-box by the AT&T technician.

2.6.2.8

Through the SI process, AT&T will determine whether access to USLs at the location requested by SouthEast is technically feasible and whether sufficient capacity exists in the cross-box. If existing capacity is sufficient to meet SouthEast’s request, then AT&T will perform the site set-up as described in the CLEC Information Package, located at AT&T Wholesale-Southeast Region Web Site at: xxxx://xxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx/.

2.6.2.9

The site set-up must be completed before SouthEast can order Subloop pairs. For the site set-up in an AT&T cross-connect box in the field, AT&T will perform the necessary work to splice SouthEast’s cable into the cross-connect box. For the site set-up inside a building equipment room, AT&T will perform the necessary work to install the cross-connect panel and the connecting block(s) that will be used to provide access to the requested USLs.

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

2.6.2.10

Once the site set-up is complete, SouthEast will request Subloop pairs through submission of a LSR form to the LCSC. OC is required with USL pair provisioning when SouthEast requests reuse of an existing facility, and the OC charge shall be billed in addition to the USL pair rate. For expedite requests by SouthEast for Subloop pairs, expedite charges will apply for intervals less than five (5) days.

2.6.2.11

USLs will be provided in accordance with AT&T’s TR73600 Unbundled Local Loop Technical Specifications.

2.6.3

Unbundled Network Terminating Wire (UNTW)

2.6.3.1

UNTW is unshielded twisted copper wiring that is used to extend circuits from an intra-building network cable terminal or from a building entrance terminal to an individual End User’s point of demarcation. It is the final portion of the Loop that in multi-subscriber configurations represents the point at which the network branches out to serve individual subscribers.

2.6.3.1.1

This element will be provided in MDUs and/or Multi-Tenants Units (MTUs) where either Party owns wiring all the way to the End User’s premises. Neither Party will provide this element in locations where the property owner provides its own wiring to the End User’s premises, where a third party owns the wiring to the End User’s premises.

2.6.3.2.5

Upon receipt of the UNTW SI requesting access to the Provisioning Party’s UNTW pairs at a multi-unit premises, representatives of both Parties will participate in a meeting at the site of the requested access. The purpose of the site visit will include discussion of the procedures for installation and location of the Access Terminals. By request of the Requesting Party, an Access Terminal will be installed either adjacent to each of the Provisioning Party’s Garden Terminal or inside each Wiring Closet. The Requesting Party will deliver and connect its central office facilities to the UNTW pairs within the Access Terminal. The Requesting Party may access any available pair on an Access Terminal. A pair is available when a pair is not being utilized to provide service or where the End User has requested a change in its local service provider to the Requesting Party. Prior to connecting the Requesting Party’s service on a pair previously used by the Provisioning Party, the Requesting Party is responsible for ensuring the End User is no longer using the Provisioning Party’s service or another CLEC’s service before accessing UNTW pairs.

2.6.3.2.6

Access Terminal installation intervals will be established on an individual case basis.

2.6.3.2.7

The Requesting Party is responsible for obtaining the property owner’s permission for the Provisioning Party to install an Access Terminal(s) on behalf of the Requesting Party. The submission of the SI by the Requesting Party will serve as certification by the Requesting Party that such permission has been obtained. If the property owner objects to Access Terminal installations that are in progress or within thirty (30) days after completion and demands removal of Access Terminals, the Requesting Party will be responsible for costs associated with removing Access Terminals and restoring the property to its original state prior to Access Terminals being installed.

2.6.3.2.8

The Requesting Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Provisioning Party against any claims of any kind that may arise out of the Requesting Party’s failure to obtain the property owner’s permission. The Requesting Party will be billed for nonrecurring and recurring charges for accessing UNTW pairs at the time the Requesting Party activates the pair(s). The Requesting Party will notify the Provisioning Party within five (5) business days of activating UNTW pairs using the LSR form.

2.6.3.2.9

If a trouble exists on a UNTW pair, the Requesting Party may use an alternate spare pair that serves that End User if a spare pair is available. In such cases, the Requesting Party will re-terminate its existing jumper from the defective pair to the spare pair. Alternatively, the Requesting Party will isolate and report troubles in the manner specified by the Provisioning Party. The Requesting Party must tag the UNTW pair that requires repair. If the Provisioning Party dispatches a technician on a reported trouble call and no UNTW trouble is found, the Provisioning Party will charge Requesting Party for time spent on the dispatch and testing the UNTW pair(s).

2.6.3.2.10

If the Requesting Party initiates the Access Terminal installation and the Requesting Party has not activated at least ten percent (10%) of the capacity of the Access Terminal installed pursuant to the Requesting Party’s request for an Access Terminal within six (6) months of installation of the Access Terminal, the Provisioning Party will bill the Requesting Party a nonrecurring charge equal to the actual cost of provisioning the Access Terminal.

2.6.3.2.11

If the Provisioning Party determines that the Requesting Party is using the UNTW pairs without reporting the activation of the pairs, the Requesting Party will be billed for the use of that pair back to the date the End User began receiving service from the Requesting Party at that location. Upon request, the Requesting Party will provide copies of its billing record to substantiate such date. If the Requesting Party fails to provide such records, then the Provisioning Party will bill the Requesting Party back to the date of the Access Terminal installation.

The Commissions in some states have ordered per-element manual additive nonrecurring charges (NRC) for Network Elements and Other Services ordered by means other than one of the interactive interfaces. These ordered Network Elements and Other Services manual additive NRCs will apply in these states, rather than the charge per LSR. The per-element charges are listed on the Rate Tables in Exhibit 1.

2.14	Preordering Loop Makeup (LMU)

2.14.1

Description of Service

2.14.1.1

AT&T shall make available to SouthEast loop makeup (LMU) data for loops that are provided pursuant to this Agreement. This section addresses LMU as a preordering transaction, distinct from SouthEast ordering any other service(s). Loop Makeup Service Inquiries (LMUSI) for preordering loop makeup are likewise unique from other preordering functions with associated service inquiries (SI) as described in this Agreement.

2.14.1.2

AT&T will provide SouthEast with loop makeup information consisting of the composition of the loop material (copper/fiber); the existence, location and type of equipment on the loop, including but not limited to digital loop carrier or other remote concentration devises, feeder/distribution interfaces, bridge taps, load coils, pair-gain devices; the loop length; and the wire gauge. The LMUSI may be utilized by SouthEast for the purpose of determining whether the loop requested is capable of supporting DSL service or other advanced data services. The determination shall be made solely by SouthEast and AT&T shall not be liable in any way for the performance of the advanced data services provisioned over said loop.

2.14.1.3

AT&T’s LMU information is provided to SouthEast as it exists either in AT&T's databases or in its hard copy facility records. AT&T does not guarantee accuracy or reliability of the LMU information provided.

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 26 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.14.1.4

AT&T offers LMU information for the sole purpose of allowing SouthEast to determine whether, in SouthEast’s judgment, AT&T's loops will support the specific services that SouthEast wishes to provide over those loops. SouthEast may choose to use equipment that it deems will enable it to provide a certain type and level of service over a particular AT&T loop; however, such configurations may not match AT&T's or the industry’s standards and specifications for the intended type and level of service. Accordingly, SouthEast shall be responsible for insuring that the specific loop type (ADSL, HDSL, or otherwise) ordered on the LSR matches the LMU of the facility requested. SouthEast bears full responsibility for being knowledgeable of AT&T's technical standards and the specifications of AT&T's loops. SouthEast bears full responsibility for making the appropriate ordering decisions of matching AT&T loops with SouthEast's equipment for accomplishing SouthEast's end goal for the intended service it wishes to provide its end-user(s). SouthEast is fully responsible for any of its service configurations that may differ from AT&T's technical standard for the loop type ordered.

2.14.2

Submitting Loop Makeup Service Inquiries

2.14.2.1

SouthEast will be able to obtain LMU information by submitting a LMUSI mechanically or manually. Mechanized LMUSIs should be submitted through AT&T's Operational Support Systems interfaces. After obtaining the resulting loop data from the mechanized LMUSI process, if SouthEast determines that it needs further loop data information in order to make a determination of loop service capability, SouthEast may initiate a separate manual SI for a separate nonrecurring charge as set forth in Section 2.14.3. Mechanized LMU has been made available for limited deployment to those CLECs that have effective X-Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL) Beta Test Agreements in place with AT&T. CLECs will be notified once a successful Beta Test has been completed, and mechanized LMU shall then be available to SouthEast.

2.14.2.2

Manual LMUSIs shall be submitted on the preordering manual LMUSI form by means of fax or electronic-mail to AT&T’s Complex Resale Support Group (CRSG)/Account Team utilizing the Preordering Loop Makeup Service Inquiry form. The standard service interval for the return of a Loop Makeup Manual Service Inquiry is seven business days. This service interval is distinct from the interval applied to the subsequent service order. Manual LMUSIs are not subject to expedite requests.

2.14.3

LMUSI Types and Associated Charges

SouthEast may request LMU information by submitting LMUSIs in accordance with the rate elements in Exhibit 1.

2.14.3.1

SouthEast will be assessed a nonrecurring charge for each facility queried as specified in Exhibit 1. Rates for all states are interim and subject to true-up pending approval of final rates by the respective State Commissions. True-ups will be retroactive to the effective date of this Agreement.

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 27 of 48

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.14.3.2

SouthEast may reserve facilities for up to four (4) days in connection with a LMUSI. Reserved facilities for which SouthEast does not plan to place a UNE local service request (LSR) should be cancelled by SouthEast. Should SouthEast wish to cancel a reservation on a spare facility, the cancellation will require a facility reservation number (RESID/FRN).

2.14.3.3

The reservation holding timeframe is a maximum of four days from the time that AT&T's LMU data is returned to SouthEast for the facility queried. During this holding time and prior to SouthEast’s placing an LSR, the reserved facilities are rendered unavailable to other customers, whether for CLEC(s) or for AT&T. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AT&T does not guarantee that a reservation will assure SouthEast’s ability to order the exact facility reserved.

2.14.3.4

If SouthEast does not submit an LSR for a UNE service on a reserved facility within the four-day reservation timeframe, the reservation of that spare facility will become invalid and the facility will be released.

2.14.3.5

Charges for preordering LMUSI are separate from any charges associated with ordering other services from AT&T.

2.14.4

Ordering of Other UNE Services

2.14.4.1

Whenever SouthEast has reserved a facility through AT&T's preordering LMU service, should SouthEast seek to place a subsequent UNE LSR on a reserved facility, SouthEast shall provide AT&T the RESID/FRN of the single spare facility on the appropriate UNE LSR., SouthEast will be billed the appropriate rate element for the specific type UNE loop ordered by SouthEast as set forth in this Attachment. SouthEast will not be billed any additional Loop Makeup charges for the loop so ordered. Should SouthEast choose to place a UNE LSR having previously submitted a request for preordering LMU without a reservation, SouthEast will be billed the appropriate rate element for the specific UNE loop ordered as well as additional Loop Makeup charges as set forth in this Attachment. Rates are provided in Exhibit 1 in this Attachment.

2.14.4.2

Where SouthEast submits an LSR to order facilities reserved during the LMUSI process, AT&T will use its best efforts to assign to SouthEast the facility reserved as indicated on the return of the LMU. Multi-facility reservations per single RESID/FRN as provided with the mechanized LMUSI process are less likely to result in the specific assignment requested by SouthEast. For those occasions when AT&T cannot assign the specific facility reserved by SouthEast during the LMU pre-ordering transaction, due to incomplete or incorrect information provided by SouthEast during the ordering process, AT&T will assign to SouthEast, subject to availability, a facility that meets the AT&T technical standards of the AT&T type loop as ordered by SouthEast. If the ordered loop type is not available, SouthEast may utilize the Unbundled Loop Modification process or the Special Construction process, as applicable, to obtain the loop type ordered.

2.15	Loop Qualification System

Attachment 2 –Network Elements and Other Services

Page 28 of 48

SouthEast

2.15.1

SouthEast has requested access to the Loop Qualification System (LQS). LQS was originally designed as an internal tool utilized by AT&T and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) selling AT&T ADSL (Assymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) Service to determine if a telephone number(s) at a specific service address qualified for AT&T ADSL Service.

2.15.2

In consideration of the terms and conditions set forth below, AT&T agrees to provide SouthEast with access to LQS and a bulk list of ADSL qualified customers from LQS:

2.15.2.1

AT&T makes no claim as to the accuracy or completeness of either LQS or the bulk list.

2.15.2.2

SouthEast is responsible for acting within the local, state, and federal law governing the use of the bulk list for the purpose of, but not limited to, marketing of service through direct mail or telemarketing. Furthermore, the parties hereby agree to refrain from abusive telemarketing practices.

2.15.2.3

SouthEast agrees that it will use the LQS information and the bulk list and/or any information directly derived from the bulk list for the sole purpose of qualifying and selling its own DSL services (whether by itself or in a package of other offerings).

2.15.2.4

SouthEast will not use the bulk list for the purpose of conducting research, marketing, qualifying, or selling products and/or services other than its own DSL services.

2.15.2.5

SouthEast will not provide the bulk list, any portion or portions of the bulk list, copies of the bulk list, or any information derived from the bulk list to others without the prior written consent of AT&T.

2.15.2.6

SouthEast acknowledges and agrees to XxxxXxxxx’s right to revoke and terminate the use of the bulk list by SouthEast. AT&T may exercise this right of revocation and/or termination at any time, for any purpose, by oral or written notice to SouthEast. In such event, XxxxxXxxx agrees to immediately destroy or return all copies and/or components of the bulk list. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “immediately” shall be defined as a period of time not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours.

SouthEast may use such splitters for access to its end users and to provide digital line subscriber services to its end users using the High Frequency Spectrum. Existing Collocation rules and procedures and the terms and conditions relating to Collocation set forth in Attachment 4-Physical Collocation shall apply.

3.7.4

Any splitters installed by SouthEast in its collocation arrangement shall comply with ANSI T1.413, Annex E, or any future ANSI splitter Standards. SouthEast may install any splitters that AT&T deploys or permits to be deployed for itself or any AT&T affiliate.

3.8	Maintenance – Line Splitting – UNE-L

3.8.1

AT&T will be responsible for repairing voice troubles and the troubles with the physical loop between the NID at the End User’s premises and the termination point.

3.8.2

AT&T must make all necessary network modifications, including providing nondiscriminatory access to operations support systems necessary for pre-ordering, ordering, provisioning, maintenance and repair, and billing for loops used in line splitting arrangements.

3.9	Indemnification

3.9.1

SouthEast shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AT&T from and against any claims, losses, actions, causes of action, suits, demands, damages, injury and costs including reasonable attorney fees, which arise out of actions related to the other service provider (i.e. CLEC party to the line splitting arrangement who is not SouthEast), except to the extent caused by AT&T’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.	Routine Network Modifications`

4.1

AT&T will perform Routine Network Modifications (RNM) in accordance with FCC 47 CFR 51.319 (a)(7) and (e)(4) for Loops and Dedicated Transport provided under this Attachment. AT&T shall make all routine network modifications to unbundled loop and transport facilities used by SouthEast at SouthEast’s request where the requested loop and/or transport facility has already been constructed. AT&T shall perform these routine network modifications to facilities in a non-discriminatory fashion, without regard to whether the loop or transport facility being accessed was constructed on behalf, or in accordance with the specifications, of any carrier. A routine network modification is an activity that AT&T regularly undertakes for its own customers. Routine network modifications include, but are not limited to, rearranging or splicing of cable; adding an equipment case; adding a doubler or repeater; adding a xxxxx xxxx; installing a repeater shelf; adding a line card; deploying a new multiplexer or reconfiguring an existing multiplexer; attaching electronic and other equipment that AT&T ordinarily attaches to a loop or transport facility to serve its own customers. Routine network modifications may entail activities such as accessing manholes, deploying bucket trucks to reach aerial cable, and installing equipment casings. Routine network modifications do not include the construction of a new loop, or the installation of new aerial or buried cable for SouthEast.

4.2

AT&T shall perform routine network modifications pursuant to the existing non-recurring charges and recurring rates ordered by the Commission for the loop and transport facilities set forth in Exhibit 1 of Attachment 2 of the Agreement and not at an additional charge. RNM shall be performed within the intervals established for the Network Element and subject to the performance measurements and associated remedies set forth in Attachment 9 of this Agreement except to the extent AT&T demonstrates that such RNM were not anticipated in the setting of such intervals. If AT&T believes that it has not anticipated a requested network modification as being a RNM and has not recovered the costs of such RNM in the rates set forth in Exhibit 1 of Attachment 2 of the Agreement, AT&T can seek resolution from the Commission. However, in the interim, AT&T will perform the RNM at the existing recurring and non-recurring rates associated with the provision of the loop or transport facility. There may not be any double recovery or retroactive recovery of these costs.

5.	Unbundled Network Element Combinations

5.1.	Unbundled Network Element Combinations shall include: 1) Enhanced Extended Links (EELs); 2) UNE Loops/Special Access Combinations; and 3) Transport Combinations.

5.1.1.

For purposes of this Section, references to “Currently Combined” network elements shall mean that such network elements are in fact already combined by AT&T in the AT&T network. References to “Ordinarily Combined” Network Elements shall mean that the particular Network Elements requested by SouthEast are not already combined by AT&T in the location requested by SouthEast but are elements that are typically combined in AT&T’s network. References to “Not Typically Combined” Network Elements shall mean that the particular Network Elements requested by SouthEast are not elements that AT&T combines for its use in its network. For purposes of this section, the terms “combine,” “combined,” and “combination” shall include commingling, and “combinations” of network elements shall include network elements that are “commingled” with other tariffed or nontariffed services, facilities, or network elements.

5.1.2

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, upon request, AT&T shall perform the functions necessary to combine Network Elements that AT&T is required to provide under this Agreement in any manner, even if those elements are not ordinarily combined in AT&T’s network, provided that such Combination is technically feasible and will not undermine the ability of other carriers to obtain access to Network Elements or to interconnect with AT&T’s network.

5.1.3

12.5.2

E911 Service Provisioning. For E911 service, SouthEast will be required to install a minimum of two dedicated trunks originating from the SouthEast serving wire center and terminating to the appropriate E911 tandem. The dedicated trunks shall be, at a minimum, DS-0 level trunks configured either as a 2-wire analog interface or as part of a digital (1.544 Mb/s) interface. Either configuration shall use CAMA-type signaling with multifrequency (“MF”) pulsing that will deliver automatic number identification (“ANI”) with the voice portion of the call. If the user interface is digital, MF pulses, as well as other AC signals shall be encoded per the u-255 Law convention. SouthEast will be required to provide AT&T daily updates to the E911 database. SouthEast will be required to forward 911 calls to the appropriate E911 tandem, along with ANI, based upon the current E911 end office to tandem homing arrangement as provided by AT&T. If the E911 tandem trunks are not available, SouthEast will be required to route the call to a designated 7-digit local number residing in the appropriate Public Service Answering Point (“PSAP”). This call will be transported over AT&T’s interoffice network and will not carry the ANI of the calling party. SouthEast shall be responsible for providing AT&T with complete and accurate data for submission to the 911/E911 database for the purpose of providing 911/E911 to its end users.

12.5.3

Rates. Charges for 911/E911 service are borne by the municipality purchasing the service. AT&T will impose no charge on SouthEast beyond applicable charges for AT&T trunking arrangements.

12.5.4

Basic 911 and E911 functions provided to SouthEast shall be at least at parity with the support and services that AT&T provides to its end users for such similar functionality.

Detailed Practices and Procedures. The detailed practices and procedures contained in the E911 Local Exchange Carrier Guide For Facility-Based Providers as amended from time to time during the term of this Agreement will determine the appropriate practices and procedures for AT&T and SouthEast to follow in providing 911/E911 services.

12.6	911 PBX Locate Serviceo. 911 PBX Locate Service is comprised of a database capability and a separate transport component.

12.6.1

Description of Product. The transport component provides a dedicated trunk path from a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) switch to the appropriate AT&T 911 tandem.

12.6.1.1

Except as otherwise set forth below, a minimum of two (2) end user specific, dedicated 911 trunks are required between the SouthEast’s end user premise and the AT&T 911 tandem as described in AT&T’s TR 73576 and in accordance with the 911 PBX Locate Marketing Service Description located on the AT&T Wholesale – Southeast Region Web site. SouthEast is responsible for connectivity between the end user’s PBX and SouthEast’s switch or POP location. SouthEast will then order 911 trunks from their switch or POP location to the AT&T 911 tandem. The dedicated trunks shall be, at a minimum, DS0 level trunks configured as part of a digital interface (delivered over a SouthEast purchased DS1 facility that hands off at a DS1 or higher level digital or optical interface). SouthEast is responsible for ensuring that the PBX switch is capable of sending the calling station’s Direct Inward Dial (DID) telephone number to the AT&T 911 tandem in a specified Multi-frequency (MF) Address Signaling Protocol. If the PBX switch supports Primary Rate ISDN (PRI) and the calling stations are DID numbers, then the 911 call can be transmitted using PRI, and there will be no requirement for the PBX Locate Transport component.

NOTE: (1) CLEC should contact its contract negotiator if it prefers the "state specific" OSS charges as ordered by the State Commissions. The OSS charges currently contained in this rate exhibit are the AT&T "regional" service ordering charges. CLEC may elect either the state specific Commission ordered rates for the service ordering charges, or CLEC may elect the regional service ordering charge, however, CLEC can not obtain a mixture of the two regardless if CLEC has a interconnection contract established in each of the 9 states.
NOTE: (2) Any element that can be ordered electronically will be billed according to the SOMEC rate listed in this category. Please refer to AT&T's Local Ordering Handbook (LOH) to determine if a product can be ordered electronically. For those elements that cannot be ordered electronically at present per the LOH, the listed SOMEC rate in this category reflects the charge that would be billed to a CLEC once electronic ordering capabilities come on-line for that element. Otherwise, the manual ordering charge, XXXXX, will be applied to a CLECs bill when it submits an LSR to AT&T.

SouthEast

07/25/08

The Parties shall provide interconnection with each other’s networks for the transmission and routing of telephone exchange service (local) and exchange access (intraLATA toll and switched access) on the following terms:

1	Network Interconnection

All negotiated rates, terms and conditions set forth in this Attachment pertain only to the provision of network interconnection where SouthEast owns and provides its switch(s).

1.1

Network Interconnection for Call Transport and Termination may be provided by the Parties at any technically feasible point. Requests to AT&T for interconnection at points other than as set forth in this Agreement may be made through the Bona Fide Request/New Business Request process set out in General Terms and Conditions.

1.1.1

The Interconnection Point is the point at which the originating Party delivers its originated traffic to the terminating Party’s first point of switching on the terminating Party’s common (shared) network for call transport and termination. Interconnection Points are available at either Access Tandems, Local Tandems, or End Offices as described in this Attachment. SouthEast’s requested Interconnection Point also will be used for the receipt and delivery of transit traffic at AT&T Access and Local Tandems. Interconnection Points established at the AT&T Local Tandem apply only to local, ISP-bound, and local originating and terminating transit traffic.

1.1.2

The Parties shall make available to each other one-way and two-way trunks for the reciprocal exchange of combined Local, ISP-bound and intraLATA Toll Traffic. A minimum of one Interconnection Point shall be established in each LATA in which SouthEast originates or terminates Local Traffic or delivers ISP-bound Traffic and interconnects with AT&T. Each Party has the right to designate the Interconnection Point for its originated traffic.

1.1.3

The Parties shall institute a bill and keep compensation plan under which neither Party will charge the other Party recurring and nonrecurring charges associated with the termination of trunks and facilities for the exchange of traffic other than Transit Traffic. The Parties, where appropriate, will be paid recurring and nonrecurring charges for trunks and facilities ordered for the purpose of interconnection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compensation will be paid for the delivery of Local and ISP-bound Traffic in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1.

1.1.4

Both Parties, as appropriate, shall be compensated for the ordering of trunks and facilities for the exchange of Transit Traffic.

1.2	Interconnection via Dedicated Transport Facilities

1.2.1

As part of Local Interconnection Call Transport and Termination Service, the originating Party may obtain Local Channel facilities (i.e., entrance facilities) from the terminating Party from the originating Party’s specified Interconnection Point to its Serving Wire Center. The portion of Local Channel facilities utilized for Local Traffic shall be determined based upon the application of the Percent Local Facility (PLF) Factor as defined in this Attachment. Additionally, the charges applied to the portion of the Local Channel used for Local Traffic as determined by the PLF are as set forth in Exhibit A to this Attachment. This factor shall be reported in addition to the switched dedicated transport jurisdictional factors specified in the AT&T intrastate and interstate switched access tariffs.

1.2.2

Additionally, either Party may obtain Dedicated Interoffice Transport facilities from its designated Serving Wire Center to the other Party’s first point of switching. The portion of Dedicated Interoffice Transport facilities utilized for Local Traffic shall be determined based upon the application of the Percent Local Facility (PLF) Factor as defined in this Attachment. Additionally, the charges applied to the portion of the Dedicated Interoffice Transport used for Local Traffic as determined by the PLF are as set forth in Exhibit A to this Attachment. This factor shall be reported in addition to the switched dedicated transport jurisdictional factors specified in the AT&T intrastate and interstate switched access tariffs.

1.2.3

For the purposes of this Attachment, Local Channel (i.e., entrance facility) is defined as a switch transport facility between a Party’s Interconnection Point and its Serving Wire Center.

1.2.4

For the purposes of this Attachment, Serving Wire Center is defined as the wire center owned by one Party from which the other Party would normally obtain dial tone for its Interconnection Point.

1.2.5

For the purposes of this Attachment, Dedicated Interoffice Transport is defined as a switch transport facility between a Party’s Serving Wire Center and the first point of switching on the other Party’s common (shared) network.

1.3	Fiber Meet

1.3.1

Fiber Meet is an interconnection arrangement whereby the Parties physically interconnect their networks via an optical fiber interface (as opposed to an electrical interface) at which one Party's facilities, provisioning, and maintenance responsibility begins and the other Party's responsibility ends (i.e. Interconnection Point).

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 4 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

1.3.2

If SouthEast elects to interconnect with AT&T pursuant to a Fiber Meet, SouthEast and AT&T shall jointly engineer and operate a Synchronous Optical Network ("SONET") transmission system by which they shall interconnect their transmission and routing of Local Traffic via a Local Channel facility at either the DS0, DS1, or DS3 level. The Parties shall work jointly to determine the specific transmission system. However, SouthEast’s SONET transmission must be compatible with AT&T’s equipment in the AT&T Interconnection Wire Center (BIWC). The same vendor’s equipment and software version must be used, and the Data Communications Channel (DCC) must be turned off.

1.3.3

AT&T shall, wholly at its own expense, procure, install and maintain the agreed upon SONET equipment in the BIWC.

1.3.4

SouthEast shall, wholly at its own expense, procure, install and maintain the agreed upon SONET equipment in the SouthEast Interconnection Wire Center ("SouthEast Wire Center").

1.3.5

AT&T shall designate an Interconnection Point outside the BIWC as a Fiber Meet point, and shall make all necessary preparations to receive, and to allow and enable SouthEast to deliver, fiber optic facilities into the Interconnection Point with sufficient spare length to reach the fusion splice point at the Interconnection Point. AT&T shall, wholly at its own expense, procure, install, and maintain the fusion splicing point in the Interconnection Point. A Common Language Location Identification ("CLLI") code will be established for each Interconnection Point. The code established must be a building type code. All orders shall originate from the Interconnection Point (i.e., Interconnection Point to SouthEast, Interconnection Point to AT&T).

1.3.6

SouthEast shall deliver and maintain such strands wholly at its own expense. Upon verbal request by SouthEast, AT&T shall allow SouthEast access to the Fiber Meet entry point for maintenance purposes as promptly as possible.

1.3.7

The Parties shall jointly coordinate and undertake maintenance of the SONET transmission system. Each Party shall be responsible for maintaining the components of their own SONET transmission system.

1.3.8

Each Party will be responsible for (i) providing its own transport facilities to the Fiber Meet, and (ii) the cost to build-out its facilities to such Fiber Meet.

1.3.9

Neither Party shall charge the other for its portion of the Fiber Meet facility used exclusively for non-transit Local Traffic (i.e. the Local Channel). Charges incurred for other services including dedicated transport facilities will apply. Charges for Switched and Special Access Services shall be billed in accordance with the applicable Access Service tariff (i.e. the AT&T Interstate or Intrastate Access Services Tariff).

2	Interconnection Trunk Group Architectures

2.1

AT&T and SouthEast shall establish interconnecting trunk groups and trunk group configurations between networks including the establishment of one-way or two-way trunks in accordance with the following provisions set forth in this Agreement. For trunking purposes, traffic will be routed based on the digits dialed by the originating end user and in accordance with the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG).

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 5 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.2

SouthEast shall establish an interconnection trunk group(s) to at least one AT&T access tandem within the LATA for the delivery of SouthEast’s originated local and intraLATA toll traffic and for the receipt and delivery of Transit Traffic. To the extent SouthEast desires to terminate local and intraLATA toll traffic to AT&T and Transit Traffic to third parties subtending other AT&T access tandems within the LATA, other than the one SouthEast has established interconnection trunk groups to, SouthEast shall order Multiple Tandem Access, as described in this Attachment, to such other AT&T access tandems or order interconnection trunk groups to such other AT&T access tandems.

2.2.1

Notwithstanding the forgoing, SouthEast shall establish an interconnection trunk group(s) to all AT&T access and local tandems in the LATA where SouthEast has homed (i.e. assigned) its NPA/NXXs. SouthEast shall home its NPA/NXXs on the AT&T tandems that serve the Exchange Rate Center Areas to which the NPA/NXXs are assigned. The specified association between AT&T tandems and Exchange Rate Centers is defined in the national Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG). SouthEast shall enter its NPA/NXX access and/or local tandem homing arrangement into the LERG.

2.3	Switched Access traffic will be delivered to and by Interexchange Carriers (IXCs) based on SouthEast’s NXX Access Tandem homing arrangement as specified by SouthEast in the LERG.

2.4

Any SouthEast interconnection request that deviates from the interconnection trunk group architectures as described in this Agreement that affects traffic delivered to SouthEast from a AT&T switch that requires special AT&T switch translations and other network modifications will require SouthEast to submit a Bona Fide Request/New Business Request (BFR/NBR) via the BFR/NBR Process set forth in General Terms and Conditions.

2.5

Charges, both non-recurring and recurring, associated with interconnecting trunk groups between AT&T and SouthEast are set forth in Exhibit A. To the extent a rate associated with the interconnecting trunk group is not set forth in Exhibit A, the interim rate shall be as set forth in the appropriate AT&T tariff for Switched Access services. Once a cost based rate is established by AT&T, the interim tariff rate shall be trued up and the cost based rate will be applied retroactively to the effective date of this agreement.

2.6

For two-way trunk groups that carry both Parties’ local and IntraLATA Toll traffic only, excluding trunk groups that carry Transit Traffic, the Parties shall be compensated for the nonrecurring and recurring charges for dedicated transport trunks and facilities at 50% of the applicable contractual or tariff rates for the services provided by each Party. SouthEast shall be responsible for ordering and paying for any two-way trunks carrying Transit Traffic.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 6 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.7	All trunk groups will be provisioned as Signaling System 7 (SS7) capable where technically feasible. If SS7 is not technically feasible multi-frequency (MF) protocol signaling shall be used.

2.8	In cases where SouthEast is also an IXC, the IXC’s Feature Group D (FG D) trunk group(s) must remain separate from the local interconnection trunk group(s).

2.9

Unless in response to a blocking situation or for a project, when either Party orders interconnection trunk group augmentations, a Firm Order Confirmation (FOC) shall be returned to the ordering Party within four (4) business days from receipt of a valid, error free ASR. A project is defined as a new trunk group or the request of 96 or more trunks on a single or multiple trunk group(s) in a given local calling area. Blocking situations and projects shall be managed through the AT&T Interconnection Trunking Project Management group and SouthEast’s equivalent trunking group.

2.10	Interconnection Trunk Groups for Exchange of Local, IntraLATA Toll and Transit Traffic

2.10.1

If the Parties’ originated local and/or intraLATA toll traffic is utilizing the same two-way trunk group, the Parties shall mutually agree to use this type of two-way interconnection trunk group with the quantity of trunks being mutually determined and the provisioning being jointly coordinated. Furthermore, the Interconnection Point(s) for two-way interconnection trunk groups transporting both Parties' local and/or intraLATA toll shall be mutually agreed upon. SouthEast shall order such two-way trunks via the Access Service Request (ASR) process in place for Local Interconnection upon determination by the Parties, in a joint planning meeting, that such trunk groups shall be utilized. AT&T will use the Trunk Group Service Request (TGSR) to request changes in trunking. Both Parties reserve the right to issue ASRs, if so required, in the normal course of business. Furthermore, the Parties shall jointly review such trunk performance and forecasts on a periodic basis. The Parties use of two-way interconnection trunk groups for the transport of local and/or intraLATA toll traffic between the Parties does not preclude either Party from establishing additional one-way interconnection trunks for the delivery of its originated local and/or intraLATA toll traffic to the other Party.

2.11	AT&T Access Tandem Interconnection Architectures

2.11.1

AT&T Access Tandem Interconnection provides intratandem access to subtending end offices. AT&T Multiple Tandem Access (MTA), described later in this Agreement, may be ordered using any of the following access tandem architectures.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 7 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.12	Basic Architecture

2.12.1

In this architecture, SouthEast’s originating Local and IntraLATA Toll and originating and terminating Transit Traffic is transported on a single two-way trunk group between SouthEast and AT&T access tandem(s) within a LATA. This group carries intratandem Transit Traffic between SouthEast and Independent Companies, Interexchange Carriers, other CLECs and other network providers with which SouthEast desires interconnection and has the proper contractual arrangements. This group also carries SouthEast originated intertandem traffic transiting a single AT&T access tandem destined to third party tandems such as an Independent Company tandem or other CLEC tandem. AT&T originated Local and IntraLATA Toll traffic is transported on a single one-way trunk group terminating to SouthEast. Other trunk groups for operator services, directory assistance, emergency services and intercept may be established if required. The LERG should be referenced for current routing and tandem serving arrangements. The Basic Architecture is illustrated in Exhibit B.

2.13	One-Way Trunk Group Architecture

2.13.1

In this architecture, the Parties interconnect using two one-way trunk groups. One one-way trunk group carries SouthEast-originated local and intraLATA toll traffic destined for AT&T end-users. The other one-way trunk group carries AT&T-originated local and intraLATA toll traffic destined for SouthEast end-users. A third two-way trunk group is established for SouthEast’s originating and terminating Transit Traffic. This group carries intratandem Transit Traffic between SouthEast and Independent Companies, Interexchange Carriers, other CLECs and other network providers with which SouthEast desires interconnection and has the proper contractual arrangements. This group also carries SouthEast originated intertandem traffic transiting a single AT&T access tandem destined to third party tandems such as an Independent Company tandem or other CLEC tandem. Other trunk groups for operator services, directory assistance, emergency services and intercept may be established if required. The LERG should be referenced for current routing and tandem serving arrangements. The One-Way Trunk Group Architecture is illustrated in Exhibit C.

2.14	Two-Way Trunk Group Architecture

2.14.1

The Two-Way Trunk Group Architecture establishes one two-way trunk group to carry local and intraLATA toll traffic between SouthEast and AT&T. In addition, a two-way transit trunk group must be established for SouthEast’s originating and terminating Transit Traffic. This group carries intratandem Transit Traffic between SouthEast and Independent Companies, Interexchange Carriers, other CLECs and other network providers with which SouthEast desires interconnection and has the proper contractual arrangements. This group also carries SouthEast originated intertandem traffic transiting a single AT&T access tandem destined to third party tandems such as an Independent Company tandem or other CLEC tandem. Other trunk groups for operator services, directory assistance, emergency services and intercept may be established if required. The LERG should be referenced for current routing and tandem serving arrangements. The Two-Way Trunk Group Architecture is illustrated in Exhibit D.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.15	Supergroup Architecture

2.15.1

In the Supergroup Architecture, the Parties’ Local and IntraLATA Toll and SouthEast’s Transit Traffic are exchanged on a single two-way trunk group between SouthEast and AT&T. This group carries intratandem Transit Traffic between SouthEast and Independent Companies, Interexchange Carriers, other CLECs and other network providers with which SouthEast desires interconnection and has the proper contractual arrangements. This group also carries SouthEast originated intertandem traffic transiting a single AT&T access tandem destined to third party tandems such as an Independent Company tandem or other CLEC tandem. Other trunk groups for operator services, directory assistance, emergency services and intercept may be established if required. The LERG should be referenced for current routing and tandem serving arrangements. The Supergroup Architecture is illustrated in Exhibit E.

2.16	Multiple Access Tandem Service

2.16.1

Upon request, AT&T will provide SouthEast with Multiple Tandem Access (MTA), which provides for LATA wide AT&T transport and termination of SouthEast-originated Local Traffic and AT&T transported intraLATA toll traffic, by establishing an Interconnection Point at a AT&T access tandem with routing through multiple AT&T access tandems as required. However, SouthEast must still establish Interconnection Points at all AT&T access tandems where SouthEast NXXs are “homed”. If SouthEast does not have NXXs homed at a AT&T access tandem within a LATA and elects not to establish Interconnection Points at such AT&T access tandem, SouthEast can order MTA in each AT&T access tandem within the LATA where it does have an Interconnection Point and AT&T will terminate traffic to end-users served through those AT&T access tandems where SouthEast does not have an Interconnection Point. MTA shall be provisioned in accordance with AT&T’s Ordering Guidelines.

2.16.2

MTA does not include switched access traffic that transits the AT&T network to an Interexchange Carrier (IXC). Switched Access traffic will be delivered to and by IXCs based on SouthEast’s NXX Access Tandem homing arrangement as specified by SouthEast in the national Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG).

2.16.3

For SouthEast-originated local and intraLATA toll traffic that AT&T transports but is destined for termination by a third Party network (Transit Traffic), AT&T MTA is required if multiple AT&T access tandems are necessary to deliver the call to the third Party network.

2.16.4

With MTA, for the delivery of SouthEast’s Local and ISP-bound Traffic, SouthEast will be assessed charges as specified in the pricing exhibit to this Agreement for the additional transport and tandem switching on an elemental basis in addition to the reciprocal compensation rate to which the parties have agreed in Section 5.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the situation of tandem exhaust at any particular tandem, where the Parties choose MTA as an alternative routing plan, the Parties will negotiate appropriate rates, terms, and conditions for MTA.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 9 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.16.5

To the extent SouthEast does not purchase MTA in a calling area that has multiple access tandems serving the calling area as defined by AT&T, SouthEast must establish an Interconnection Point to every access tandem in the calling area in order to serve the entire calling area. To the extent SouthEast does not purchase MTA and provides intraLATA toll service to its customers, it may be necessary for it to establish an Interconnection Point to additional AT&T access tandems that serve end offices outside the local calling area. To the extent SouthEast routes its traffic in such a way that utilizes AT&T’s MTA service without properly ordering MTA service, SouthEast agrees to pay AT&T the associated transport and termination charges.

2.17	Local Tandem Interconnection

2.17.1

Local Tandem Interconnection arrangement allows SouthEast to establish an interconnection trunk group(s) at AT&T local tandems for: (1) the delivery of SouthEast-originated Local Traffic transported and terminated by AT&T to AT&T end offices within the local calling area as defined in AT&T’s General Subscriber Services Tariff (GSST), section A3 served by those AT&T local tandems, and (2) for local Transit Traffic transported by AT&T for third party network providers who have also established an interconnection trunk group(s) at those AT&T local tandems.

2.17.2

When a specified local calling area is served by more than one AT&T local tandem, SouthEast must designate a “home” local tandem for each of its assigned NPA/NXXs and establish trunk connections to such local tandems. Additionally, SouthEast may choose to establish an interconnection trunk group(s) at the AT&T local tandems where it has no codes homing but is not required to do so. SouthEast may deliver Local Traffic to a “home” AT&T local tandem that is destined for other AT&T or third party network provider end offices subtending other AT&T local tandems in the same local calling area where SouthEast does not choose to establish an interconnection trunk group(s). It is SouthEast’s responsibility to enter its own NPA/NXX local tandem homing arrangements into the LERG either directly or via a vendor in order for other third party network providers to determine appropriate traffic routing to SouthEast’s codes. Likewise, SouthEast shall obtain its routing information from the LERG.

2.17.3

Notwithstanding establishing an interconnection trunk group(s) to AT&T’s local tandems, SouthEast must also establish an interconnection trunk group(s) to AT&T access tandems within the LATA on which SouthEast has NPA/NXXs homed for the delivery of Interexchange Carrier Switched Access (SWA) and toll traffic, and traffic to Type 2A CMRS connections located at the access tandems. AT&T shall not switch SWA traffic through more than one AT&T access tandem. SWA, Type 2A CMRS or toll traffic routed to the local tandem in error will not be backhauled to the AT&T access tandem for completion. (Type 2A CMRS interconnection is defined in AT&T’s A35 General Subscriber Services Tariff).

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 10 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.17.4

AT&T’s provisioning of local tandem interconnection assumes that SouthEast has executed the necessary local interconnection agreements with the other third party network providers subtending those local tandems as required by the Act.

2.18	Direct End Office-to-End Office Interconnection

2.18.1

Direct End Office-to-End Office one-way or two-way interconnection trunk groups allow for the delivery of a Party’s originating local or intraLATA toll traffic to the terminating Party on a direct end office-to-end office basis.

2.18.2

The Parties shall utilize direct end office-to-end office trunk groups under the following conditions:

2.18.3

Tandem Exhaust - If a tandem through which the Parties are interconnected is unable to, or is forecasted to be unable to support additional traffic loads for any period of time, the Parties will mutually agree on an end office trunking plan that will alleviate the tandem capacity shortage and ensure completion of traffic between SouthEast and AT&T’s subscribers.

2.18.4

Traffic Volume –To the extent either Party has the capability to measure the amount of traffic between a SouthEast switching center and a AT&T end office, either Party shall install and retain direct end office trunking sufficient to handle actual or reasonably forecasted traffic volumes, whichever is greater, between a SouthEast switching center and a AT&T end office where the traffic exceeds or is forecasted to exceed a single DS1 of traffic per month. Either Party will install additional capacity between such points when overflow traffic between SouthEast’s switching center and AT&T’s end office exceeds or is forecasted to exceed a single DS1 of traffic per month. In the case of one way trunking, additional trunking shall only be required by the Party whose trunking has achieved the preceding usage threshold.

2.18.5

Mutual Agreement - The Parties may install direct end office trunking upon mutual agreement in the absence of conditions (1) or (2) above, and agreement will not unreasonably be withheld.

2.19	Transit Traffic Trunk Group

2.19.1

Transit Traffic trunks can either be two-way trunks or two one-way trunks ordered by SouthEast to deliver and receive local and intraLATA toll Transit Traffic from third parties, such as Independent Companies and other CLECs, via AT&T access tandems (or AT&T local tandems for Local Traffic), and Switched Access traffic to and from Interexchange Carriers via AT&T access tandems pursuant to the Transit Traffic section of this Attachment. Establishing Transit Traffic trunks at AT&T access and local tandems provides intratandem access to the third parties also interconnected at those tandems.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 11 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

2.20	Toll Free Traffic

2.20.1

If SouthEast chooses AT&T to handle Toll Free database queries from its switches, all SouthEast originating Toll Free traffic will be routed over the Transit Traffic Trunk Group.

2.20.2

All originating Toll Free Service (Toll Free) calls for which SouthEast requests that AT&T perform the Service Switching Point (“SSP”) function (i.e., perform the database query) shall be delivered using GR-394 format over the Transit Traffic Trunk Group. Carrier Code “0110” and Circuit Code (to be determined for each LATA) shall be used for all such calls.

2.20.3

SouthEast may handle its own Toll Free database queries from its switch. If so, SouthEast will determine the nature (local/intraLATA/interLATA) of the Toll Free call based on the response from the database. If the query determines that the call is a AT&T local or intraLATA Toll Free number, SouthEast will route the post-query local or IntraLATA converted ten-digit local number to AT&T over the local or intraLATA trunk group. If the query determines that the call is a third party (ICO or other CLEC) local or intraLATA Toll Free number, SouthEast will route the post-query local or intraLATA converted ten-digit local number to AT&T over the Transit Traffic Trunk Group. In such case, SouthEast is to provide a Toll Free billing record when appropriate. If the query reveals the call is an interLATA Toll Free number, SouthEast will route the post-query interLATA call (Toll Free number) directly from its switch for carriers interconnected with its network or over the Transit Traffic Trunk Group to carriers not directly connected to its network but are connected to AT&T’s access tandem. Calls will be routed to AT&T over the local/intraLATA and Transit Traffic Trunk Groups within the LATA in which the calls originate.

2.20.4

All post-query Toll Free Service (Toll Free) calls for which SouthEast performs the SSP function, if delivered to AT&T, shall be delivered using GR-394 format for calls destined to IXCs, and GR-317 format for calls destined to end offices that directly subtend the AT&T access tandem.

3	Network Design And Management For Interconnection

3.1

Network Management and Changes. Both Parties will work cooperatively with each other to install and maintain the most effective and reliable interconnected telecommunications networks, including but not limited to, the exchange of toll-free maintenance contact numbers and escalation procedures. Both Parties agree to provide public notice of changes in the information necessary for the transmission and routing of services using its local exchange facilities or networks, as well as of any other changes that would affect the interoperability of those facilities and networks.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

3.2

Interconnection Technical Standards. The interconnection of all networks will be based upon accepted industry/national guidelines for transmission standards and traffic blocking criteria. Interconnecting facilities shall conform, at a minimum, to the telecommunications industry standard of DS-1 pursuant to Bellcore Standard No. TR-NWT-00499. Signal transfer point, Signaling System 7 (“SS7”) connectivity is required at each interconnection point. AT&T will provide out-of-band signaling using Common Channel Signaling Access Capability where technically and economically feasible, in accordance with the technical specifications set forth in the AT&T Guidelines to Technical Publication, TRTSV-000905. Facilities of each Party shall provide the necessary on-hook, off-hook answer and disconnect supervision and shall hand off calling number ID (Calling Party Number) when technically feasible.

3.3

Quality of Interconnection. The local interconnection for the transmission and routing of telephone exchange service and exchange access that each Party provides to each other will be at least equal in quality to what it provides to itself and any subsidiary or affiliate, where technically feasible, or to any other Party to which each Party provides local interconnection.

3.4	Network Management Controls. Both Parties will work cooperatively with each other to apply sound network management principles by invoking appropriate network management controls (e.g., call gapping) to alleviate or prevent network congestion.

3.5

Common Channel Signaling. Both Parties will provide LEC-to-LEC Common Channel Signaling (“CCS”) to each other, where available, in conjunction with all traffic in order to enable full interoperability of CLASS features and functions except for call return. All CCS signaling parameters will be provided, including automatic number identification (“ANI”), originating line information (“OLI”) calling company category, charge number, etc. All privacy indicators will be honored, and each Party will cooperate with each other on the exchange of Transactional Capabilities Application Part (“TCAP”) messages to facilitate full interoperability of CCS-based features between the respective networks. Neither Party shall alter the CCS parameters, or be a party to altering such parameters, or knowingly pass CCS parameters that have been altered in order to circumvent appropriate interconnection charges.

3.6

Signaling Call Information. AT&T and SouthEast will send and receive 10 digits for Local Traffic. Additionally, AT&T and SouthEast will exchange the proper call information, i.e. originated call company number and destination call company number, CIC, and OZZ, including all proper translations for routing between networks and any information necessary for billing.

3.7	Forecasting For Trunk Provisioning

3.7.1

Within six (6) months after execution of this agreement, SouthEast shall provide an initial interconnection trunk group forecast for each LATA that it shall provide service within AT&T’s region. Upon receipt of SouthEast’s forecast, the Parties shall schedule and participate in a joint planning meeting to develop a joint interconnection trunk group forecast. Each forecast provided under this Section shall be deemed “Confidential Information” under the General Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 13 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

3.7.2

At a minimum, the forecast shall include the projected quantity of Transit Trunks, SouthEast-to-AT&T one-way trunks (“SouthEast Trunks”), AT&T-to-SouthEast one-way trunks (“Reciprocal Trunks”) and/or two-way interconnection trunks, if the Parties have agreed to interconnect using two-way trunking to transport the Parties’ local and intraLATA toll. The quantities shall be projected for a minimum of six months in advance and shall include the current year plus next two years total forecasted quantities. Considering SouthEast’s provided forecast, the Parties shall mutually develop Reciprocal Trunk and/or two-way interconnection trunk forecast quantities for the time periods listed and to be included within the initial forecast.

3.7.3

Additionally all forecasts shall include, at a minimum, Access Carrier Terminal Location (“ACTL”), trunk group type (local/intraLATA toll, Transit, Operator Services, 911, etc.), A location/Z location (CLLI codes for SouthEast location and AT&T location where the trunks shall terminate), interface type (e.g., DS1), Direction of Signaling, Trunk Group Number, if known, (commonly referred to as the 2-6 code) and forecasted trunks in service each year (cumulative).

3.7.4

Each Party shall exercise its best efforts to provide the quantity of interconnection trunks mutually forecasted. However, the provision of the forecasted quantity of interconnection trunks is subject to trunk terminations and facility capacity existing at the time the trunk order is submitted. Furthermore, the receipt and development of trunk forecasts does not imply any liability for failure to perform if capacity (trunk terminations or facilities) is not available for use at the forecasted time.

3.7.5

The submitting and development of interconnection trunk forecasts shall not replace the ordering process in place for local interconnection trunks.

3.7.6

Once initial interconnection trunk forecasts have been developed, SouthEast shall continue to provide interconnection trunk forecasts on a semiannual basis or at otherwise mutually agreeable intervals. SouthEast shall use its best efforts to make the forecasts as accurate as possible based on reasonable engineering criteria. Interconnection trunk forecasts shall be updated and provided to AT&T on an as needed basis, but no less frequently than semiannually and no more frequently than monthly. Upon receipt of SouthEast’s forecast, including forecast updates, the Parties shall confer to mutually develop AT&T Reciprocal Trunk and/or two-way interconnection trunk forecasted quantities for the listed time periods within such subsequent forecasts.

3.8	Trunk Utilization

3.8.1

AT&T and SouthEast shall monitor traffic on each interconnection trunk group that is installed pursuant to the initial interconnection trunk requirements and subsequent forecasts. At any time after the end of a calendar quarter, based on a review of the capacity utilization during such quarter for installed Reciprocal Trunk groups and/or two-way interconnection trunk groups, subject to the provision of the section following, after fifteen (15) business days advance written notice to SouthEast, AT&T may disconnect any Non-utilized Reciprocal Trunk(s) and SouthEast shall refund to AT&T any associated trunk and facility charges paid by AT&T. In addition, AT&T may request SouthEast to disconnect any Non-utilized two-way interconnection trunk(s), if AT&T has determined that the trunk group is not being utilized at eighty percent (80%) of the time consistent busy hour utilization level, provided that the Parties have not otherwise agreed. SouthEast shall comply with such request, subject to Section 3.8.2 below. Non-utilized trunks are defined as the trunks not being utilized as a result of a time consistent busy hour utilization of less than 80%.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 14 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

3.8.2

Within ten (10) business days following the notice prescribed in the section above, SouthEast may request that AT&T not disconnect or not request disconnection for some or all of the Non-utilized Trunks, in which event AT&T shall keep the trunks in service and may invoice SouthEast for, and SouthEast shall pay, all applicable recurring and nonrecurring trunk and facility access tariff charges for the Non-utilized Trunks. The charges shall be applied retroactive to the date on which such trunks were installed and to continue until such trunks are disconnected, or to the extent SouthEast requests that such trunks remain in service, until the trunk group reaches an eighty percent (80%) time-consistent busy hour utilization level. In addition, SouthEast shall reimburse AT&T for any nonrecurring and/or recurring charges AT&T may have paid to SouthEast for the Non-utilized Trunks and for any trunk installation expense AT&T incurred. This expense shall equal the nonrecurring installation charge for trunks in AT&T’s intrastate tariff. Furthermore, the SouthEast forecasts for each subsequent forecast period shall be automatically reduced by the number of Reciprocal Trunks and/or two-way interconnection trunks that have been determined to be subject to disconnection pursuant to the foregoing procedures.

3.8.3

To the extent SouthEast requests AT&T and AT&T agrees to install additional Reciprocal and/or two-way interconnection trunks in any forecast period following the initial forecasting period that are not included in the forecast for that period (as such forecast may be revised from time to time), such trunks may be provisioned by AT&T subject to the conditions set forth in the preceding sections above, and all applicable recurring and nonrecurring charges for such trunks shall be billed to and paid by SouthEast until such trunk groups reach an eighty percent (80%) time-consistent busy hour utilization level.

3.8.4

To the extent that any interconnection trunk group is utilized at a time-consistentbusy hour of ninety percent (90%) or greater, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for the installation of augmented facilities.

4	Local Dialing Parity

4.1

AT&T and SouthEast shall provide local and toll dialing parity to each other with no unreasonable dialing delays. Dialing parity shall be provided for all originating telecommunications services that require dialing to route a call. AT&T and SouthEast shall permit similarly situated telephone exchange service end users to dial the same number of digits to make a local telephone call notwithstanding the identity of the end user’s or the called party’s telecommunications service provider.

5	Interconnection Compensation

5.1	Compensation for Call Transportation and Termination for Local Traffic and Inter-Carrier Compensation for ISP-Bound Traffic

5.1.1

Local Traffic is defined as any telephone call that originates in one exchange and terminates in either the same exchange, or a corresponding Extended Area Service (“EAS”) exchange.

5.1.2

ISP-bound Traffic is defined as calls to an information service provider or Internet service provider (“ISP”) that are dialed using a local dialing pattern (7 or 10 digits) by a calling party in one exchange or local calling area to an ISP server or modem in the same exchange or local calling area. ISP-bound Traffic is not considered Local Traffic subject to reciprocal compensation, but instead is information access traffic subject to compensation as described by the FCC in its Order on Remand and Report and Order, CC Docket Nos. 96-98, FCC 01-31 (released April 27, 2001) (“ISP Remand Order”). All Combined ISP-bound Traffic and Local Traffic delivered to one Party by the other Party that exceeds a 3:1 ratio of terminating to originating traffic on a statewide basis shall be presumed to be ISP-bound Traffic. All combined ISP-bound Traffic and Local traffic delivered to one Party by the other Party that does not exceed a 3:1 ratio of terminating to originating Traffic on a statewide basis is Local Traffic.

5.1.3

The Parties will compensate each other on a mutual and reciprocal basis for the transport and termination of Local Traffic and ISP-bound Traffic at the following rate:

Local Traffic:	$.0007 per MOU
ISP-Bound Traffic:	$.0007 per MOU

5.1.4

The Parties recognize and agree that the compensation for the transport and termination of Local Traffic and ISP-bound Traffic set forth in section 5.1.3 are intended to allow each Party to recover costs associated with such traffic. The Parties recognize and agree that such compensation will not be billed and shall not be paid for a call placed by an end user customer, or placed on behalf of an end user customer, to establish or maintain a network connection if: (1) such call is not recognized by industry practice to constitute traffic (voice or data) which results from a telephone call; (2) the end user customer does not specify between or among the points of the call and does not choose the information of that call; and (3) the primary purpose of that call is to generate the payment of reciprocal compensation as a result of establishing or maintaining the network connection.

5.1.5

Neither Party shall represent non-local switched access services traffic as Local Traffic for purposes of payment of reciprocal compensation.

5.1.6

Compensation for Trunks and Associated Facilities

5.1.6.1

Compensation for Trunks and Associated Facilities shall be handled in accordance with Section 1.1.2

5.1.7

Pursuant to the definition of Local Traffic in this Attachment, and for the purpose of delivery of AT&T originating traffic to SouthEast, AT&T shall pay to SouthEast reciprocal compensation for Local Traffic delivered to SouthEast end users physically located within the LATA in which the call originated and within which the SouthEast end user’s NPA/NXX is assigned. If SouthEast assigns NPA/NXXs to specific AT&T rate centers within the LATA and assigns numbers from those NPA/NXXs to SouthEast end users physically located outside of that LATA, AT&T traffic originating from within the LATA where the NPA/NXXs are assigned and delivered to a SouthEast customer physically located outside of such LATA, shall not be deemed Local Traffic, and no compensation from AT&T to SouthEast shall be due therefor. Further, SouthEast agrees to identify such interLATA traffic to AT&T and to compensate AT&T for originating and transporting such interLATA traffic to SouthEast at AT&T’s switched access tariff rates.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 16 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

5.1.8

If SouthEast does not identify such interLATA traffic to AT&T, to the best of AT&T’s ability AT&T will determine which whole SouthEast NPA/NXXs on which to charge the applicable rates for originating network access service as reflected in AT&T’s Access Service Tariff. AT&T shall make appropriate billing adjustments if SouthEast can provide sufficient information for AT&T to determine whether or not said traffic is Local Traffic.

5.2

Percent Local Use. Each Party shall report to the other a Percent Local Usage (“PLU”). The application of the PLU will determine the amount of local minutes and ISP-bound minutes to be billed to the other Party. For purposes of developing the PLU, each Party shall consider every local and ISP-bound call and every long distance call, excluding Transit Traffic. Each Party shall update its PLU on the first of January, April, July and October of the year and shall send it to the other Party to be received no later than 30 calendar days after the first of each such month based on local usage for the past three months ending the last day of December, March, June and September, respectively. Requirements associated with PLU calculation and reporting shall be as set forth in AT&T’s Percent Local Use Reporting Guidebook, as it is amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the terminating Party has message recording technology that identifies the jurisdiction of traffic terminated as defined in this Agreement, such information, in lieu of the PLU factor, shall at the terminating Party’s option be utilized to determine the appropriate local usage compensation to be paid.

5.3

Percent Local Facility. Each Party shall report to the other a Percent Local Facility (“PLF”). The application of the PLF will determine the portion of switched dedicated transport to be billed per the local jurisdiction rates. The PLF shall be applied to multiplexing, local channel and interoffice channel switched dedicated transport utilized in the provision of local interconnection trunks. Each Party shall update its PLF on the first of January, April, July and October of the year and shall send it to the other Party to be received no later than 30 calendar days after the first of each such month to be effective the first bill period the following month, respectively. Requirements associated with PLU and PLF calculation and reporting shall be as set forth in AT&T’s Percent Local Facility Reporting Guidebook, as it is amended from time to time.

5.4

Percent Interstate Usage. Each Party shall report to the other the projected Percent Interstate Usage (“PIU”). All jurisdictional report requirements, rules and regulations for Interexchange Carriers specified in AT&T’s Intrastate Access Services Tariff will apply to SouthEast. After interstate and intrastate traffic percentages have been determined by use of PIU procedures, the PLU and PLF factors will be used for application and billing of local interconnection. Each Party shall update its PIUs on the first of January, April, July and October of the year and shall send it to the other Party to be received no later than 30 calendar days after the first of each such month, for all services showing the percentages of use (PIUs, PLU, and PLF) for the past three months ending the last day of December, March, June and September. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the terminating Party has message recording technology that identifies the jurisdiction of traffic terminated as defined in this Agreement, such information, in lieu of the PIU and PLU factors, shall at the terminating Party’s option be utilized to determine the appropriate local usage compensation to be paid.

5.5

Audits. On thirty (30) days written notice, each Party must provide the other the ability and opportunity to conduct an annual audit to ensure the proper billing of traffic. AT&T and SouthEast shall retain records of call detail for a minimum of nine months from which a PLU, PLF and/or PIU can be ascertained. The audit shall be accomplished during normal business hours at an office designated by the Party being audited. Audit requests shall not be submitted more frequently than one (1) time per calendar year. Audits shall be performed by a mutually acceptable independent auditory paid for by the Party requesting the audit. The PLU and/or PIU shall be adjusted based upon the audit results and shall apply to the usage for the quarter the audit was completed, to the usage for the quarter prior to the completion of the audit, and to the usage for the two quarters following the completion of the audit. If, as a result of an audit, either Party is found to have overstated the PLU and/or PIU by twenty percentage points (20%) or more, that Party shall reimburse the auditing Party for the cost of the audit.

5.6	Compensation for IntraLATA Toll Traffic

5.6.1

IntraLATA Toll Traffic. IntraLATA Toll Traffic is defined as any telephone call that is not local or switched access per this Agreement.

5.6.2

Compensation for intraLATA toll traffic. For terminating its intraLATA toll traffic on the other company’s network, the originating Party will pay the terminating Party AT&T’s current intrastate or interstate, whichever is appropriate, terminating switched access tariff rates as set forth in AT&T’s Intrastate or Interstate Access Services Tariff. The appropriate charges will be determined by the routing of the call. If SouthEast is the AT&T end user’s presubscribed interexchange carrier or if the AT&T end user uses SouthEast as an interexchange carrier on a 101XXXX basis, AT&T will charge SouthEast the appropriate AT&T tariff charges for originating switched access services.

5.6.3

Compensation for 8XX Traffic. Each Party shall compensate the other pursuant to the appropriate switched access charges, including the database query charge as set forth in the AT&T intrastate or interstate switched access tariffs.

5.6.4

Records for 8XX Billing. Each Party will provide to the other the appropriate records necessary for billing intraLATA 8XX customers. The records provided will be in a standard EMI format.

5.6.5

8XX Access Screening. AT&T’s provision of 8XX TFD to SouthEast requires interconnection from SouthEast to AT&T 8XX SCP. Such interconnections shall be established pursuant to AT&T’s Common Channel Signaling Interconnection Guidelines and Bellcore’s CCS Network Interface Specification document, TR-TSV-000905. SouthEast shall establish CCS7 interconnection at the AT&T Local Signal Transfer Points serving the AT&T 8XX SCPs that SouthEast desires to query. The terms and conditions for 8XX TFD are set out in AT&T’s Intrastate Access Services Tariff as amended.

5.7	Mutual Provision of Switched Access Service

5.7.1

Switched Access Traffic. Switched Access Traffic is described in the AT&T Access Tariff. Additionally, any Public Switched Telephone Network interexchange telecommunications traffic, regardless of transport protocol method, where the originating and terminating points, end-to-end points, are in different LATAs, or are in the same LATA and the Parties’ Switched Access services are used for the origination or termination of the call, shall be considered Switched Access Traffic. Irrespective of transport protocol method used, a call which originates in one LATA and terminates in another LATA (i.e., the end-to-end points of the call), shall not be compensated as local.

5.7.2

When SouthEast’s end office switch, subtending the AT&T Access Tandem switch for receipt or delivery of switched access traffic, provides an access service connection to or from an interexchange carrier (“IXC”) by either a direct trunk group to the IXC utilizing AT&T facilities, or via AT&T’s tandem switch, each Party will provide its own access services to the IXC and bill on a multi-bill, multi-tariff meet-point basis. Each Party will bill its own access services rates to the IXC with the exception of the interconnection charge. The interconnection charge will be billed by the Party providing the end office function. Each party will use the Multiple Exchange Carrier Access Billing (MECAB) guidelines to establish meet point billing for all applicable traffic. Thirty (30)-day billing periods will be employed for these arrangements. For tandem routed traffic, the tandem company agrees to provide to the Initial Billing Company as defined in MECAB, at no charge, all the switched access detail usage data, recorded at the access tandem, within no more than sixty (60) days after the recording date. The Initial Billing Company will provide the switched access summary usage data, for all originating and terminating traffic, to all Subsequent Billing Companies as defined in MECAB within 10 days of rendering the initial bill to the IXC. Each Party will notify the other when it is not feasible to meet these requirements so that the customers may be notified for any necessary revenue accrual associated with the significantly delayed recording or billing. As business requirements change data reporting requirements may be modified as necessary.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 18 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

5.7.3

In the event that either Party fails to provide the appropriate MECAB switched access usage data to the other Party within 90 days after the recording date and the receiving Party is unable to bill and/or collect access revenues due to the sending Party's failure to provide such data within said time period, then the Party failing to send the data as specified herein shall be liable to the other Party in an amount equal to the unbillable or uncollectible revenues. Each company will provide complete documentation to the other to substantiate any claim of unbillable switched access revenues, and a negotiated settlement will be agreed upon between the Parties.

5.7.4

Each Party will retain for a minimum period of sixty (60) days, access message detail sufficient to recreate any data which is lost or damaged by their company or any third party involved in processing or transporting data.

5.7.5

Each Party agrees to recreate the lost or damaged data within forty-eight (48) hours of notification by the other or by an authorized third party handling the data.

5.7.6

Each Party also agrees to process the recreated data within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt at its data processing center.

5.7.7

All claims should be filed with the other Party within 120 days of the receipt of the date of the unbillable usage.

5.7.8

The Initial Billing Company shall keep records of its billing activities relating to jointly-provided Intrastate and Interstate access services in sufficient detail to permit the Subsequent Billing Party to, by formal or informal review or audit, to verify the accuracy and reasonableness of the jointly-provided access billing data provided by the Initial Billing Party. Each Party agrees to cooperate in such formal or informal reviews or audits and further agrees to jointly review the findings of such reviews or audits in order to resolve any differences concerning the findings thereof.

5.7.9

SouthEast agrees not to deliver switched access traffic to AT&T for termination except over SouthEast ordered switched access trunks and facilities.

5.8	Transit Traffic Service

5.8.1

AT&T shall provide tandem switching and transport services for SouthEast’s Transit Traffic. Transit traffic is traffic originating on SouthEast’s network that is switched and/or transported by AT&T and delivered to a third party’s network, or traffic originating on a third Party’s network that is switched and/or transported by AT&T and delivered to SouthEast’s network. Rates for local and ISP-bound Transit Traffic that originates from a SouthEast end user shall be the applicable Call Transport and Termination charges as set forth in Exhibit A to this Attachment. Rates for intraLATA toll and Switched Access Transit Traffic that originates from a SouthEast end user shall be the applicable charges as set forth in AT&T Interstate or Intrastate Switched Access tariffs. Switched Access Transit Traffic presumes that SouthEast’s end office is subtending the AT&T Access Tandem for switched access traffic to and from SouthEast’s end users utilizing AT&T facilities, either by direct trunks with the IXC, or via the AT&T Access Tandem. Billing associated with all Transit Traffic shall be pursuant to MECAB guidelines. Pursuant to these guidelines, the Initial Billing Company shall provide summary usage data, for all originating and terminating Transit Traffic, to all Subsequent Billing Companies. Traffic between SouthEast and Wireless Type 1 third parties shall not be treated as Transit Traffic from a routing or billing perspective. Traffic between SouthEast and Wireless Type 2A or UNE-CLEC third parties shall not be treated as Transit Traffic from a routing or billing perspective until AT&T and the Wireless carrier or UNE-CLEC third party have the capability to properly meet-point-bill in accordance with MECAB guidelines.

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 19 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

5.8.2

In the event that either Party fails to provide the appropriate MECAB usage data to the other Party within 90 days after the recording date and the receiving Party is unable to bill and/or collect Transit Traffic revenues due to the sending Party's failure to provide such data within said time period, then the Party failing to send the data as specified herein shall be liable to the other Party in an amount equal to the unbillable or uncollectible revenues. Each company will provide complete documentation to the other to substantiate any claim of unbillable revenues and a negotiated settlement will be agreed upon between the Parties

5.8.3

The delivery of traffic which transits the AT&T network and is transported to another carrier’s network is excluded from any AT&T billing guarantees and will be delivered at the rates stipulated in this Agreement to a terminating carrier. AT&T agrees to deliver this traffic to the terminating carrier; provided, however, that SouthEast is solely responsible for negotiating and executing any appropriate contractual agreements with the terminating carrier for the receipt of this traffic through the AT&T network. AT&T will not be liable for any compensation to the terminating carrier or to SouthEast. XxxxxXxxx agrees to compensate AT&T for any charges or costs for the delivery of Transit Traffic to a connecting carrier on behalf of SouthEast. Additionally, the Parties agree that any billing to a third party or other telecommunications carrier under this section shall be pursuant to MECAB procedures.

6	Frame Relay Service Interconnection

6.1

In addition to the Local Interconnection services set forth above, AT&T will offer a network to network Interconnection arrangement between AT&T’s and SouthEast’s frame relay switches as set forth below. The following provisions will apply only to Frame Relay Service and Exchange Access Frame Relay Service in those states in which SouthEast is certified and providing Frame Relay Service as a Local Exchange Carrier and where traffic is being exchanged between SouthEast and AT&T Frame Relay Switches in the same LATA.

6.2

The Parties agree to establish two-way Frame Relay facilities between their respective Frame Relay Switches to the mutually agreed upon Frame Relay Service point(s) of interconnection (“POI(s)”) within the LATA. All POIs shall be within the same Frame Relay Network Serving Areas as defined in Section A40 of AT&T’s General Subscriber Service Tariff except as set forth in this Attachment.

6.3

Upon the request of either Party, such interconnection will be established where AT&T and SouthEast have Frame Relay Switches in the same LATA. Where there are multiple Frame Relay switches in one central office, an interconnection with any one of the switches will be considered an interconnection with all of the switches at that central office for purposes of routing packet traffic.

6.4	The Parties agree to provision local and IntraLATA Frame Relay Service and Exchange Access Frame Relay Service (both intrastate and interstate) over Frame Relay interconnection facilities between the respective Frame Relay switches and the POIs.

6.5	The Parties agree to assess each other reciprocal charges for the facilities that each provides to the other according to the Percent Local Circuit Use Factor (PLCU), determined as follows:

6.5.1

If the data packets originate and terminate in locations in the same LATA, and consistent with the local definitions of the Agreement, the traffic is considered local. Frame Relay framed packet data is transported within Virtual Circuits (VC). For the purposes of this Agreement, if all the data packets transported within a VC remain within the LATA, then consistent with the local definitions in this Agreement, the traffic on that VC is local (“Local VC”).

6.5.2

If the originating and terminating locations of the two way packet data traffic are not in the same LATA, the traffic on that VC is interLATA (“InterLATA VC”).

Attachment 3 – Network Interconnection

Page 20 of 25

SouthEast

07/25/08

6.5.3

The PLCU is determined by dividing the total number of Local VCs, by the total number of VCs on each Frame Relay facility. To facilitate implementation, SouthEast may determine its PLCU in aggregate, by dividing the total number of Local VCs in a given LATA by the total number VCs in that LATA. The Parties agree to renegotiate the method for determining PLCU, at AT&T’s request, and within 90 days, if AT&T notifies SouthEast that it has found that this method does not adequately represent the PLCU.

6.5.4

If there are no VCs on a facility when it is billed, the PLCU will be zero.

6.5.5

AT&T will provide the circuit between the Parties’ respective Frame Relay Switches. The Parties will be compensated as follows: AT&T will invoice, and SouthEast will pay, the total non-recurring and recurring charges for the circuit based upon the rates set forth in AT&T’s Interstate Access Tariff, FCC No. 1. SouthEast will then invoice, and AT&T will pay, an amount calculated by multiplying the AT&T billed charges for the circuit by one-half of SouthEast’s PLCU.

6.6

The Parties agree to compensate each other for Frame Relay network-to-network interface (NNI) ports based upon the NNI rates set forth in AT&T's Interstate Access Tariff, FCC No. 1 Compensation for each pair of NNI ports will be calculated as follows: AT&T will invoice, and SouthEast will pay, the total non-recurring and recurring charges for the NNI port. SouthEast will then invoice, and AT&T will pay, an amount calculated by multiplying the AT&T billed non-recurring and recurring charges for the NNI port by SouthEast’s PLCU.

6.7

Each Party agrees that there will be no charges to the other Party for its own subscriber’s Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) rate elements for the local PVC segment from its Frame Relay switch to its own subscriber’s premises. PVC rate elements include the Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) and Committed Information Rate (CIR).

6.8	For the PVC segment between the SouthEast and AT&T Frame Relay switches, compensation for the PVC charges is based upon the rates in AT&T's Interstate Access Tariff, FCC No. 1.

6.9	Compensation for PVC rate elements will be calculated as follows:

6.9.1

If SouthEast orders a VC connection between an AT&T subscriber’s PVC segment and a PVC segment from the AT&T Frame Relay switch to the SouthEast Frame Relay switch, AT&T will invoice, and SouthEast will pay, the total non-recurring and recurring PVC charges for the PVC segment between the AT&T and SouthEast Frame Relay switches.

Regeneration

3.5.2

Regeneration is required for collocation in an Adjacent Off-Site CollocationArrangement if the cabling distance between SouthEast’s termination point located in an adjacent structure and AT&T’s cross-connect bay exceeds ANSI limitations. Regeneration is not required in any other circumstances except where SouthEast specifically requests regeneration. Required regeneration and SouthEast -requested regeneration will be provided at SouthEast’s expense

3.6	Rate Elements

3.6.1

Planning Fee

The Planning Fee recovers AT&T’s costs incurred to estimate the quotation of charges, project management costs, engineering costs, and other related planning activities for SouthEast’s request for the Adjacent Off-Site Collocation arrangement. A major revision to the initial request for Adjacent Off-Site Collocation that changes cable entrance facilities requirements will be considered a total revision and result in the reapplication of the Planning Fee. A Planning Fee will apply when SouthEast is requesting any Interconnection Terminations between SouthEast’s Adjacent Off-Site structure and AT&T. This fee recovers the design route of the Interconnection Terminations to SouthEast’s Adjacent Off-Site structure. Rates and charges are as found in Section 3.7 following.

3.6.2

Copper Cable Entrance Facility

This rate element permits SouthEast to bring a 900-Pair copper cable to the AT&T designated manhole with sufficient additional length to extend to the AT&T vault. AT&T would then splice this cable to the tails extended down from the MDF. These copper facilities could be used for either voice grade circuits or DS1 circuits. Rates and charges are as found in paragraph 3.7 following.

3.6.3

DS1 Interconnection Arrangement (DSX or DCS)

An AT&T provided arrangement of twenty-eight (28) DS1 connections per arrangement between the AT&T MDF and the AT&T DSX or DCS as ordered by SouthEast. SouthEast will be permitted access to the AT&T Main Distribution Frame via Approved AT&T Certified Contractor. If regeneration is required because the cabling distance between SouthEast’s termination point located in an Adjacent Structure and AT&T’s cross-connect bay exceeds ANSI limitations or where SouthEast specifically requests regeneration, it will be at SouthEast’s expense. Regeneration is not required in any other circumstance. Rates and charges will be determined using AT&T Kentucky’s Special Construction process as noted in AT&T FCC Tariff 2.

6.13

Virtual to Physical Collocation Relocation. In the event physical Collocation Space was previously denied at a location due to technical reasons or space limitations, and that physical Collocation Space has subsequently become available, SouthEast may relocate its virtual collocation arrangements to physical collocation arrangements and pay the appropriate non-recurring fees for physical collocation and for the rearrangement or reconfiguration of services terminated in the virtual collocation arrangement, as outlined in the appropriate AT&T tariffs. In the event that AT&T knows when additional space for physical collocation may become available at the location requested by SouthEast, such information will be provided to SouthEast in AT&T’s written denial of physical collocation. To the extent that (i) physical Collocation Space becomes available to SouthEast within 180 calendar days of AT&T’s written denial of SouthEast’s request for physical collocation, (ii) AT&T had knowledge that the space was going to become available, and (iii) SouthEast was not informed in the written denial that physical Collocation Space would become available within such 180 calendar days, then SouthEast may transition its virtual collocation arrangement to a physical collocation arrangement and will receive a credit for any nonrecurring charges previously paid for such virtual collocation. SouthEast must arrange with an AT&T Certified Supplier for the relocation of equipment from its virtual Collocation Space to its physical Collocation Space and will bear the cost of such relocation.

6.14

Cancellation. If, at anytime prior to space acceptance, SouthEast cancels its order for the Collocation Space(s), SouthEast will reimburse AT&T in the following manner: AT&T will ascertain how far preparation work has progressed. SouthEast will be billed the applicable non recurring rate for any and all work processes for which work has begun.

7.2

Space Preparation. Space preparation fees consist of a nonrecurring charge for Firm Order Processing and monthly recurring charges for Central Office Modifications, assessed per arrangement, per square foot, and Common Systems Modifications, assessed per arrangement, per square foot for cageless and per cage for caged collocation. SouthEast shall remit payment of the nonrecurring Firm Order Processing Fee coincident with submission of a Bona Fide Firm Order. The recurring charges for space preparation apply beginning on the date on which AT&T releases the Collocation Space for occupancy or on the date SouthEast first occupies the Collocation Space, whichever is sooner. The charges recover the costs associated with preparing the Collocation Space, which includes survey, engineering of the Collocation Space, design and modification costs for network, building and support systems. In the event SouthEast opts for cageless space, the space preparation fees will be assessed based on the total floor space dedicated to SouthEast as prescribed in Section 7.7.

7.3	Cable Installation. Cable Installation Fee(s) are assessed per entrance cable placed.

7.4

Floor Space. The Floor Space Charge includes reasonable charges for lighting, HVAC, and other allocated expenses associated with maintenance of the Premises but does not recover any power-related costs incurred by AT&T. When the Collocation Space is enclosed, SouthEast shall pay floor space charges based upon the number of square feet so enclosed. When the Collocation Space is not enclosed, SouthEast shall pay floor space charges based upon the following floor space calculation: [(depth of the equipment lineup in which the rack is placed) + (0.5 x maintenance aisle depth) + (0.5 x wiring aisle depth)] X (width of rack and spacers). For purposes of this calculation, the depth of the equipment lineup shall consider the footprint of equipment racks plus any equipment overhang. AT&T will assign unenclosed Collocation Space in conventional equipment rack lineups where feasible. In the event SouthEast’s collocated equipment requires special cable racking, isolated grounding or other treatment which prevents placement within conventional equipment rack lineups, SouthEast shall be required to request an amount of floor space sufficient to accommodate the total equipment arrangement. Floor space charges are due beginning with the date on which AT&T releases the Collocation Space for occupancy or on the date SouthEast first occupies the Collocation Space, whichever is sooner.

7.5	Power. AT&T shall make available –48 Volt (-48V) DC power for SouthEast’s Collocation Space at an AT&T Power Board or AT&T Battery Distribution Fuse Bay (“BDFB”) at SouthEast’s option within the Premises.

When obtaining power from a BDFB, fuses and power cables (A&B) must be engineered (sized), and installed by SouthEast’s AT&T Certified Supplier. When obtaining power from an AT&T power board, power cables (A&B) must be engineered (sized), and installed by SouthEast’s AT&T Certified power Supplier. SouthEast is responsible for contracting with an AT&T Certified Supplier for power distribution feeder cable runs from an AT&T BDFB or power board to SouthEast’s equipment. Determination of the AT&T BDFB or AT&T power board as the power source will be made at AT&T’s sole, but reasonable, discretion. The AT&T Certified Supplier contracted by SouthEast must provide AT&T a copy of the engineering power specification prior to the day on which SouthEast’s equipment becomes operational (“Commencement Date”). AT&T will provide the common power feeder cable support structure between the AT&T BDFB or power board and SouthEast’s arrangement area. SouthEast shall contract with an AT&T Certified Supplier who will be responsible for the following: dedicated power cable support structure within SouthEast’s arrangement; power cable feeds; terminations of cable. Any terminations at an AT&T power board must be performed by an AT&T Certified power Supplier. SouthEast shall comply with all applicable National Electric Code (NEC), AT&T TR73503, Telcordia (BellCore) and ANSI Standards regarding power cabling.

7.5.2

If AT&T has not previously invested in power plant capacity for collocation at a specific site, SouthEast has the option to add its own dedicated power plant; provided, however, that such work shall be performed by an AT&T Certified Supplier who shall comply with AT&T’s guidelines and specifications. Where the addition of SouthEast’s dedicated power plant results in construction of a new power plant room, upon termination of SouthEast’s right to occupy collocation space at such site, SouthEast shall have the right to remove its equipment from the power plant room, but shall otherwise leave the room intact.

7.5.3

If SouthEast elects to install its own DC Power Plant, AT&T shall provide AC power to feed SouthEast’s DC Power Plant. Charges for AC power will be assessed per breaker ampere per month. Rates include the provision of commercial and standby AC power. When obtaining power from an AT&T service panel, protection devices and power cables must be engineered (sized), and installed by SouthEast’s AT&T Certified Supplier except that AT&T shall engineer and install protection devices and power cables for Adjacent Collocation. SouthEast’s AT&T Certified Supplier must also provide a copy of the engineering power specification prior to the Commencement Date. Charges for AC power shall be assessed pursuant to the rates specified in Exhibit A. AC power voltage and phase ratings shall be determined on a per location basis. At SouthEast’s option, SouthEast may arrange for AC power in an Adjacent Collocation arrangement from a retail provider of electrical power.

7.6

Security Escort. A security escort will be required whenever SouthEast or its approved agent desires access to the entrance manhole or must have access to the Premises after the one accompanied site visit allowed pursuant to Section 6.6.2 prior to completing AT&T’s Security Training requirements and/or prior to Space Acceptance. Rates for a security escort are assessed according to the schedule appended hereto as Exhibit A beginning with the scheduled escort time. AT&T will wait for one-half (1/2) hour after the scheduled time for such an escort and SouthEast shall pay for such half-hour charges in the event SouthEast fails to show up.
