Unbundled Network Terminating Wire (UNTW) 2.8.3.1 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. 2.8.3.2 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.
Service Level Agreement 6.1 NCR Voyix will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available to you at or above the Availability Rate set forth at xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/support/aloha-sla. If NCR Voyix does not meet the Availability Rate, you are entitled to request a service-level credit subject to the terms of this Agreement. This credit is calculated as a percentage of the monthly recurring bill (or monthly pro rata share of billing, if billing does not occur monthly) for the Service for the month in which the Availability Rate was not met. The Availability Rate is determined by: (a) dividing the total number of valid outage minutes in a calendar month by the total number of minutes in that month; (b) subtracting that quotient from 1.00; (c) multiplying that difference by 100; and (d) rounding that result to two decimal places in accordance with standard rounding conventions. The number of outage minutes per day for a given service is determined by the lesser of the number of outage minutes. 6.2 Unavailability due to other conditions or caused by factors outside of NCR Voyix’s reasonable control will not be included in the calculation of the Availability Rate. Further, the following are expressly excluded from the calculation of the Availability Rate: (a) service unavailability affecting services or application program interfaces that are not used by you; (b) cases where fail-over to another data center is available but not utilized; (c) transient time-outs, required re-tries, or slower-than-normal response caused by factors outside of NCR Voyix’s reasonable control; (d) Scheduled Downtime, including maintenance and upgrades; (e) force majeure; (f) transmission or communications outages outside the NCR Voyix- controlled environment; (g) store-level down-time caused by factors outside of NCR Voyix’s reasonable control; (h) outages attributable to services, hardware, or software not provided by NCR Voyix, including, but not limited to, issues resulting from inadequate bandwidth or related to third-party software or services; (i) use of the Service in a manner inconsistent with the documentation for the application program interface or the NCR Voyix Product; (j) your Point of Sale (“POS”) failure or the failure to properly maintain the POS environment, including updating the POS firmware or version of the software running on the POS as recommended by either NCR Voyix, a third-party POS reseller or servicer; and (k) issues related to third party domain name system (“DNS”) errors or failures. 6.3 To obtain a service-level credit, you must submit a claim by contacting NCR Voyix through the website at xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/support/aloha-sla Your failure to provide the claim and other information will disqualify you from receiving a credit. NCR Voyix must receive claims within 60 days from the last day of the impacted month. After that date, claims are considered waived and will be refused. You must be in compliance with the Agreement in order to be eligible for a service-level credit. You may not unilaterally offset for any performance or availability issues any amount owed to NCR Voyix. If multiple Services experience an outage in a given month, the total credit for that month will be the highest credit allowed for any single Service which failed; there is no stacking of credits. 6.4 The remedies set forth in the Section are your sole and exclusive remedies for performance or availability issues affecting the Services, including any failure by NCR Voyix to achieve the Availability Rate.

Unbundled Loop Modifications (Line Conditioning 2.5.1 Line Conditioning is defined as routine network modification that BellSouth regularly undertakes to provide xDSL services to its own customers. This may include the removal of any device, from a copper Loop or copper Subloop that may diminish the capability of the Loop or Subloop to deliver high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including xDSL service. Such devices include, load coils, excessive bridged taps, low pass filters, and range extenders. Excessive bridged taps are bridged taps that serves no network design purpose and that are beyond the limits set according to industry standards and/or the BellSouth’s TR 73600 Unbundled Local Loop Technical Specification. 2.5.2 BellSouth will remove load coils only on copper Loops and Subloops that are less than eighteen thousand (18,000) feet in length. 2.5.3 For any copper loop being ordered by NewPhone which has over six thousand (6,000) feet of combined bridged tap will be modified, upon request from NewPhone, so that the loop will have a maximum of six thousand (6,000) feet of bridged tap. This modification will be performed at no additional charge to NewPhone. Loop conditioning orders that require the removal of bridged tap that serves no network design purpose on a copper Loop that will result in a combined total of bridged tap between two thousand five hundred (2,500) and six thousand (6,000) feet will be performed at the rates set forth in Exhibit A. 2.5.4 NewPhone may request removal of any unnecessary and non-excessive bridged tap (bridged tap between zero (0) and two thousand five hundred (2,500) feet which serves no network design purpose), at rates pursuant to BellSouth’s SC Process as mutually agreed to by the Parties. 2.5.5 Rates for ULM are as set forth in Exhibit A. 2.5.6 BellSouth will not modify a Loop in such a way that it no longer meets the technical parameters of the original Loop type (e.g., voice grade, ADSL, etc.) being ordered. 2.5.7 If NewPhone requests ULM on a reserved facility for a new Loop order, BellSouth may perform a pair change and provision a different Loop facility in lieu of the reserved facility with ULM if feasible. The Loop provisioned will meet or exceed specifications of the requested Loop facility as modified. NewPhone will not be charged for ULM if a different Loop is provisioned. For Loops that require a DLR or its equivalent, BellSouth will provide LMU detail of the Loop provisioned. 2.5.8 NewPhone shall request Loop make up information pursuant to this Attachment prior to submitting a service inquiry and/or a LSR for the Loop type that NewPhone desires BellSouth to condition. 2.5.9 When requesting ULM for a Loop that BellSouth has previously provisioned for NewPhone, NewPhone will submit a SI to BellSouth. If a spare Loop facility that meets the Loop modification specifications requested by NewPhone is available at the location for which the ULM was requested, NewPhone will have the option to change the Loop facility to the qualifying spare facility rather than to provide ULM. In the event that BellSouth changes the Loop facility in lieu of providing ULM, NewPhone will not be charged for ULM but will only be charged the service order charges for submitting an order.
