38.7 AT&T TENNESSEE hereby commits to provide Disaster Recovery to CLEC according to the plan below.
38.7.1 AT&T TENNESSEE Disaster Recovery Plan
38.7.2 In the unlikely event of a disaster occurring that affects AT&T TENNESSEE’s long-term ability to deliver traffic to a CLEC, general procedures have been developed by AT&T TENNESSEE to hasten the recovery process in accordance with the Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) Program established by the FCC to identify and prioritize telecommunication services that support national security or emergency preparedness (NS/EP) missions. A description of the TSP Program as it may be amended from time to time is available on AT&T TENNESSEE’s Wholesale – Southeast Region Web site. Since each location is different and could be affected by an assortment of potential problems, a detailed recovery plan is impractical. However, in the process of reviewing recovery activities for specific locations, some basic procedures emerge that appear to be common in most cases.
38.7.3 These general procedures should apply to any disaster that affects the delivery of traffic for an extended time period. Each CLEC will be given the same consideration during an outage, and service will be restored as quickly as possible. AT&T TENNESSEE reserves the right to make changes to these procedures as improvements become available or as business conditions dictate.
38.7.4 This plan will cover the basic recovery procedures that would apply to every CLEC.
Maintenance of Operations The Company shall maintain operations at the Project for a minimum of ten (10) years beginning on the date the Project is Placed in Service. In addition to any other rights the Department may have under the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Company discontinues of operations at the Project, such discontinuation may subject the Company to certain statutory provisions, including:
1. Pursuant to the Corporate Accountability for Tax Expenditures Act, 20 ILCS 715, et seq., a discontinuance of operations at the Project during the five-year period after the beginning of the first Taxable Year for which the Department issues a Certificate of Verification shall result in all Credits taken by the Company during such five-year period being deemed Wrongfully Exempted Illinois State Income Taxes and shall subject said Wrongfully Exempted Illinois State Income Taxes to the forfeiture provisions of Section VIII.D hereof.
2. Pursuant to Section 5-65 of the Act, discontinuance by the Company of operations at the Project during the term of this Agreement with the intent to terminate operations in the State of Illinois shall result in all Credits taken by the Company being deemed Wrongfully Exempted Illinois State Income Taxes and shall subject said Wrongfully Exempted Illinois State Income Taxes to the forfeiture provisions of Section VIII.D hereof.
