Intercarrier Compensation. 60.1 The Parties agree to “Xxxx and Keep” for mutual reciprocal compensation for the termination of Local Traffic on the network of one Party which originates on the network of the other Party. Under Xxxx and Keep, each Party retains the revenues it receives from end user customers, and neither Party pays the other Party for terminating the Local Traffic which is subject to the Xxxx and Keep compensation mechanism. The Xxxx and Keep arrangement is subject to the following conditions: 60.1.1 Xxxx and Keep is only applicable if terminating traffic between the Parties is balanced within 10 percent. 60.1.2 Xxxx and Keep is limited to Local Traffic only. 60.1.3 Xxxx and Keep applies to traffic between a CLEC end office and a Sprint tandem and is limited to 24 DSO trunks (one-way from CLEC to Sprint). 60.1.4 Traffic Studies may be conducted semi-annually to measure the amount of traffic on the interconnection trunks to detect an out of balance condition.

Should the documentation indicate that the factor should be changed by Sprint, the Parties agree that any changes will be retroactive to traffic for the previous two years. Should the documentation indicate it is warranted such change in the factor may be back to the effective date of the Agreement. For non-local traffic, the Parties agree to exchange traffic and compensate one another based on the rates and elements included in each party’s access tariffs. CLEC will transmit calling party number (CPN) as required by FCC rules (47 C.F.R. 64.1601). 60.8.1 To the extent technically feasible, each Party will transmit calling party number (CPN) for each call being terminated on the other's network. If the percentage of calls transmitted with CPN is greater than 90%, all calls exchanged without CPN will be billed as local or intrastate in proportion to the MOUs of calls exchanged with CPN. If the percentage of calls transmitted with CPN is less than 90%, all calls transmitted without CPN will be billed as intraLATA toll traffic.
