Commingling and Conversions Sample Clauses

Commingling and Conversions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or any Verizon tariff or SGAT, and subject to the conditions set forth in the following Section 3.7.2, as of October 2, 2003 Verizon shall permit AT&T to commingle a UNE or Combination or Declassified Network Elements with wholesale services obtained from Verizon, and to also convert wholesale services to a UNE or Combination. Commingling is defined as set forth in FCC Rule 51.5. Verizon shall, upon request of AT&T, perform the functions necessary to commingle a UNE or Combination with one or more facilities or services or inputs that AT&T has obtained at wholesale from Verizon. Verizon shall not impose any policy or practice related to commingling that imposes an unreasonable or undue prejudice or disadvantage upon AT&T, and in no event shall Verizon impose any policy or practice relating to commingling that is inconsistent with Section 3.7.2 below. Subject to Section 3.7.2.2, the rates, terms and conditions of the applicable access tariff will apply to wholesale services, and the rates, terms and conditions of this Amended Agreement or the Verizon UNE tariff, as applicable, will apply to UNEs or Combinations or to the Declassified Network Elements as set forth in Exhibit A to this Amended Agreement. “Ratcheting,” as that term is defined by the FCC, shall not be required. In addition, Verizon shall cooperate fully with AT&T to ensure that operational policies and procedures implemented to effect Commingled arrangements shall be handled in such a manner as to not operationally or practically impair or impede AT&T’s ability to implement new Commingled arrangements and convert existing arrangements to Commingled arrangements in a timely and efficient manner and in a manner that does not affect service quality, availability, or performance from the end user’s perspective., For the avoidance of doubt, Verizon acknowledges and agrees that the language of this Amendment complies with and satisfies the requirements of Verizon’s wholesale and access tariffs with respect to Commingling. Verizon shall not change its wholesale and access tariffs in any fashion that impacts the availability or provision of Commingling under this Amendment or the Agreement, unless Verizon and AT&T have amended this Amendment and the Agreement in advance to address Verizon’s proposed tariff changes.
