Transit Traffic 7.2.2.3.1 CenturyLink will accept traffic originated by CLEC’s network and/or its end user(s) for termination to other Telecommunications Carrier’s network and/or its end users that is connected to CenturyLink's Switch. CenturyLink will also terminate traffic from these other Telecommunications Carriers’ network and/or its end users to CLEC’s network and/or its end users. For purposes of the Agreement, transit traffic does not include traffic carried by Interexchange Carriers. That traffic is defined as Jointly Provided Switched Access. 7.2.2.3.2 The Parties involved in transporting transit traffic will deliver calls to each involved network with CCS/SS7 protocol and the appropriate ISUP/TCAP messages to facilitate full Interoperability and Billing functions. 7.2.2.3.3 The originating company is responsible for payment of appropriate rates to the transit company and to the terminating company. The Parties agree to enter into traffic exchange agreements with third party Telecommunications Carriers prior to delivering traffic to be transited to third party Telecommunications Carriers. In the event one Party originates traffic that transits the second Party’s network to reach a third party Telecommunications Carrier with whom the originating Party does not have a traffic exchange agreement, then the originating Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the second Party against any and all charges levied by such third party Telecommunications Carrier, including any termination charges related to such traffic and any attorneys fees and expenses. In the case of IntraLATA LEC Toll traffic where CenturyLink is the designated IntraLATA Toll provider for existing LECs, CenturyLink will be responsible for payment of appropriate usage rates. 7.2.2.3.4 When CenturyLink receives an unqueried call from CLEC to a telephone number that has been ported to another local services provider, the transit rate will apply in addition to any query rates. 7.2.2.3.5 In the case of a transit call that terminates in the Local Calling Area but in a different state than the call originated, and the CLEC does not have an agreement with CenturyLink in the state where the transit call terminated, CLEC must execute an agreement for that state if it is a state served by CenturyLink. In the absence of a second agreement, the transit rate in Exhibit A of this Agreement will be billed to the CLEC.

Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities (a) A Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility"), the documentation for which complies with Section 10.07(e) below, under which (1) such Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV"), (ii) a Person, which may simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a "Lender"), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender, an "Advance Financing Person"), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund all the Advances required to be made by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before a Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to a Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances, (A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any Servicer's Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents. (b) If a Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, such Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set forth in Section 10.05 hereof a written notice (an "Advance Facility Notice"), stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of the Person (the "Servicer's Assignee") that will, subject to Section 10.07(c) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts"). Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances for which such Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.11 hereof, assuming such Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 3.11 hereof to the extent permitted under Section 10.07(e) below. (c) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, a Servicer, on behalf of the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer's Assignee, shall be entitled to receive reimbursements of Advances in accordance with Section 3.11 hereof, which entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 10.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer's Assignee shall immediately have the right to receive from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) a Servicer and/or the Servicer's Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 of this Agreement and shall not otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals of, or receive, amounts that shall be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 3.11(a)(i) and 3.27(b) hereof, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or Servicer's Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 10.05 hereof. None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer's Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Trust Fund for any claim, loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advance Financing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor Servicer, as the case may be, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to remit funds as required by this Agreement. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance Financing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information. (d) An Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of rights to receive Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or whose obligations are limited to the funding of Advances pursuant to an Advance Facility shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification as a Subservicer. (e) As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a "first-in, first out" basis. In the event the Servicer's Assignee shall have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances that were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then such Servicer's Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or Servicer's Assignee. (f) For purposes of any Officer's Certificate of the Servicer made pursuant to Section 4.01(d), any Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance referred to therein may have been made by such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. (g) Any amendment to this Section 10.07 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 10.07, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 10.01 hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances funded by the Advance Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Financing Person.
