Common use of Calculation of Payments and Billing Clause in Contracts

Calculation of Payments and Billing. 5.4.1. RLEC will compensate ALLTEL Wireless for Local Traffic delivered by RLEC to ALLTEL Wireless, as prescribed in Section 4.2, at the rate provided in Section 5.2, above. ALLTEL Wireless will compensate RLEC for Local Traffic delivered to RLEC for termination to its customers as prescribed in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 and at the rate provided in Section 5.2. ALLTEL Wireless will compensate RLEC for Non-Local Traffic it terminates to RLEC at the rates provided in Section 5.3. 5.4.2. During the first year of the contract, RLEC shall prepare a monthly billing statement to ALLTEL Wireless, which will separately reflect the calculation of Reciprocal Compensation, the Reciprocal Compensation Credit for traffic delivered pursuant to Section 4.2, Switched Access Compensation, and total compensation due RLEC. RLEC shall use the total terminating traffic recorded by RLEC and/or a third party tandem provider for billing ALLTEL Wireless. After the first year of the contract, each Party shall xxxx the other Party for traffic terminated onto its network by the other Party pursuant to Section 5.4.1. During year one, traffic billed pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be based upon a 75% to 25% mobile to land factor. During the first year of the contract, RLEC shall measure ALLTEL wireless traffic terminating to RLEC pursuant to Section 4.2 and shall calculate a reciprocal compensation credit for land-to-mobile traffic. The reciprocal compensation credit for traffic exchanged pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be calculated as follows: Reciprocal Compensation Credit = (A/B)*C*D Where A=Actual mobile to land traffic B=mobile to land factor(75%) C=land to mobile factor D=Reciprocal Compensation Rate Total Net Compensation Credit Due RLEC= Total mobile to land minutes delivered pursuant to section 4.1* $0.024/min +total mobile to land minutes delivered pursuant to section 4.2* $0.024/min less Reciprocal Compensation Credit. 5.4.3. Recognizing that RLEC has no way of measuring the Non-Local Traffic, in the event that ALLTEL Wireless does not track the usage information required to identify the Non-Local Traffic terminated by RLEC, both parties agree to use a default factor of 1.5% as an estimate of Non-Local Traffic from ALLTEL Wireless. The actual recorded usage shall be the basis for billing, when available and verifiable. 5.4.4. Each Party may request to inspect, during normal business hours, the records which are the basis for any monthly xxxx issued by the other Party and to request copies thereof provided that the requested records do not exceed 12 months in age from the date the monthly xxxx containing said record information was issued. 5.4.5. Where dedicated interconnection facilities are used for two-way traffic exchanged between the Parties, recurring charges for such facilities provided and billed by RLEC to ALLTEL Wireless shall be reduced by an agreed upon percentage representing the estimated or actual percentage of traffic exchanged between the Parties over such facilities that originate on RLEC's network by RLEC's customers. This percentage is referred to as the "Traffic Factor." The Parties agree the initial Traffic Factor shall be 75% mobile to land and 25% land to mobile for the first year, when implementing the Type 2-B interconnection. The Parties further agree to review these percentages on a periodic basis not to exceed twice per year and, if warranted by the actual usage, revise the percentages appropriately. Such revised percentages will be implemented upon written agreement between the Parties.
