• Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Xxxx has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Xxxx. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Xxxx (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Xxxx, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Xxxx will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.

• Modifications and Updates to the Wire Center List and Subsequent Transition Periods 5.4.6.1 In the event AT&T identifies additional wire centers that meet the criteria set forth in Sections 5.4.2.1 or 5.4.2.2 above, but that were not included in the Master List of Unimpaired Wire Centers or AT&T’s List of Unimpaired Wire Centers, AT&T shall include such additional wire centers in a CNL. Each such list of additional wire centers shall be considered a Subsequent Wire Center List. AT&T will follow any limitations on the frequency with which it may issue such lists and notification procedures set forth in applicable Commission orders. 5.4.6.2 TWTC shall have thirty (30) business days to dispute the additional wire centers listed on AT&T’s CNL. Absent such dispute, effective thirty (30) business days after the date of a AT&T CNL providing a Subsequent Wire Center List, AT&T shall not be required to provide DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport, as applicable, in such additional wire center(s), except pursuant to the self-certification process as set forth in Section 1.9.1 of this Attachment. 5.4.6.3 For purposes of Section 5.4.6.1 above, AT&T shall make available DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport that were in service for TWTC in a wire center on the Subsequent Wire Center List as of the thirtieth (30th) business day after the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List (Subsequent Embedded Base) until one hundred eighty (180) days after the thirtieth (30th) business day Version: 4Q06 Standard ICA 11/30/06 from the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List (Subsequent Transition Period). 5.4.6.4 The rates set forth in Exhibit B shall apply to the Subsequent Embedded Base during the Subsequent Transition Period. 5.4.6.5 No later than one hundred eighty (180) days from AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List, TWTC shall submit an LSR(s) or spreadsheet(s) as applicable, identifying the Subsequent Embedded Base of circuits to be disconnected or converted to other AT&T services. 5.4.6.5.1 In the case of disconnection, the applicable disconnect charges set forth in this Agreement shall apply. 5.4.6.5.2 If TWTC chooses to convert DS1 and/or DS3 Dedicated Transport to special access circuits in existence as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, AT&T will include such DS1 and/or DS3 Dedicated Transport within TWTC’s total special access circuits, and apply any discounts to which TWTC is entitled from the transition period of 3/11/2006 to the conversion date. Conversions will be subject to the switch-as-is charge set forth in Exhibit A to this Attachment 2. 5.4.6.5.3 AT&T shall not impose disconnect or nonrecurring installation charges when transitioning the Subsequent Embedded Base of DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport in existence as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. 5.4.6.6 If TWTC fails to submit the LSR(s) or spreadsheet(s) for all of its Subsequent Embedded Base by one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List, AT&T will identify TWTC’s remaining Subsequent Embedded Base, if any, and will transition such circuits to the equivalent tariffed AT&T service(s), or in the case of Georgia, to the equivalent 271 service(s) set forth in Exhibit 1. In the states of Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi and South Carolina, those circuits identified and transitioned by AT&T shall be subject to the applicable disconnect charges as set forth in this Agreement and the full nonrecurring charges for installation of the equivalent tariffed AT&T service as set forth in AT&T’s tariffs. In the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, those circuits identified and transitioned by AT&T shall be subject to the applicable switch-as-is rates set forth in Exhibit A of Attachment

• Provisioning Line Splitting and Splitter Space 3.8.1 The Data LEC, Voice CLEC or BellSouth may provide the splitter. When Southern Telecom or its authorized agent owns the splitter, Line Splitting requires the following: a non-designed analog Loop from the serving wire center to the NID at the End User’s location; a collocation cross connection connecting the Loop to the collocation space; a second collocation cross connection from the collocation space connected to a voice port; the high frequency spectrum line activation, and a splitter. The Loop and port cannot be a Loop and port combination (i.e. UNE-P), but must be individual stand-alone Network Elements. When BellSouth owns the splitter, Line Splitting requires the following: a non designed analog Loop from the serving wire center to the NID at the End User’s location with CFA and splitter port assignments, and a collocation cross connection from the collocation space connected to a voice port. 3.8.2 An unloaded 2-wire copper Loop must serve the End User. The meet point for the Voice CLEC and the Data LEC is the point of termination on the MDF for the Data LEC's cable and pairs. 3.8.3 The foregoing procedures are applicable to migration to Line Splitting Service from a UNE-P arrangement, BellSouth Retail Voice Service, BellSouth High Frequency Spectrum (CO Based) Line Sharing. 3.8.4 For other migration scenarios to line splitting, BellSouth will work cooperatively with CLECs to develop methods and procedures to develop a process whereby a Voice CLEC and a Data LEC may provide services over the same Loop.

• Proposed Policies and Procedures Regarding New Online Content and Functionality By October 31, 2017, the School will submit to OCR for its review and approval proposed policies and procedures (“the Plan for New Content”) to ensure that all new, newly-added, or modified online content and functionality will be accessible to people with disabilities as measured by conformance to the Benchmarks for Measuring Accessibility set forth above, except where doing so would impose a fundamental alteration or undue burden. a) When fundamental alteration or undue burden defenses apply, the Plan for New Content will require the School to provide equally effective alternative access. The Plan for New Content will require the School, in providing equally effective alternate access, to take any actions that do not result in a fundamental alteration or undue financial and administrative burdens, but nevertheless ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the same benefits or services as their nondisabled peers. To provide equally effective alternate access, alternates are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for persons with and without disabilities, but must afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the person’s needs. b) The Plan for New Content must include sufficient quality assurance procedures, backed by adequate personnel and financial resources, for full implementation. This provision also applies to the School’s online content and functionality developed by, maintained by, or offered through a third-party vendor or by using open sources. c) Within thirty (30) days of receiving OCR’s approval of the Plan for New Content, the School will officially adopt, and fully implement the amended policies and procedures.

• 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.
