Receipt of Terminating Compensation on Traffic to INP’ed Numbers. The Parties agree in principle that, under the INP arrangements described in subsections 14.2 and 14.3 above, terminating compensation on calls to INP’ed numbers should be received by each Customer’s chosen LEC as if each call to the Customer had been originally addressed by the caller to a telephone number bearing an NPA-NXX directly assigned to the Customer’s chosen LEC. In order to accomplish this objective where INP is employed, the Parties shall utilize the process set forth in this subsection 14.5 whereby terminating compensation on calls subject to INP will be passed from the Party (the “Performing Party”) which performs the INP to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) for whose Customer the INP is provided. 14.5.1 The Parties shall individually and collectively make best efforts to track and quantify INP traffic between their networks based on the CPN of each call by identifying CPNs which are INP’ed numbers.

On the date which is six (6) months after the Interconnection Activation Date, and thereafter on each succeeding six month anniversary of such Interconnection Activation Date, the Parties shall establish new INP traffic percentages to be applied in the prospective six (6) month period, based on the Performing Party’s choice of actual INP traffic percentages from the preceding six (6) month period or historic data of all traffic in the LATA. 14.5.3 The INP Traffic Rate shall be equal to the sum of: (Recip Traffic percentage times the Reciprocal Compensation Rate set forth in Exhibit A) plus (Intra Traffic percentage times Receiving Party’s effective intrastate FGD rates) plus (Inter Traffic percentage times Receiving Party’s effective interstate FGD rates). The Receiving Party shall compensate the Performing Party for its billing and collection of charges for the intrastate and interstate FGD access services provided by the Receiving Party to a third party through the greater of (i) the difference between the intrastate and interstate FGD rates of the Receiving Party and the Performing Party, or (ii) three percent (3%) of the Performing Party’s intrastate and interstate FGD revenues for INP’ed numbers. Under no circumstances shall the Performing Party, in performing the billing and collections service on behalf of the Receiving Party, be obligated to pass through more than ninety seven percent (97%) of its FGD access charge to the Receiving Party in connection with any given INP’ed call.

In order to accomplish this objective where INP is employed, the Parties shall utilize the process set forth in this subsection 14.5 whereby 14.6 thereby terminating compensation on calls subject to INP will be passed from the Party (the “"Performing Party”") which performs the INP to the other Party (the “"Receiving Party”") for whose Customer the INP is provided. 14.5.1 14.6.1 The Parties shall individually and collectively make best efforts to track and quantify INP INIP traffic between their networks based on the CPN of each call by identifying CPNs which are INP’ed INP'ed numbers. The Receiving Party shall charge the Performing Party for each minute of INP traffic at the INP Traffic Rate specified in subsection 14.5.3 14.6.3 in lieu of any other compensation charges for terminating such traffic, except as provided in subsection 14.5.214.6.2. 14.5.2 14.6.2 By the Interconnection Activation Date in each LATA, the Parties shall jointly estimate for the prospective six months, based on historic data of all traffic in the LATA, the percentages of such traffic that, if dialed to telephone numbers bearing NPA-NXXs directly assigned to a Receiving Party (as opposed to the INP’ed INP'ed number), would have been subject to (i) Reciprocal Compensation (“"Recip Traffic”"), (ii) appropriate intrastate FGD charges (“"Intra Traffic”"), (iii) interstate FGD charges (“"Inter Traffic”"), or (iv) handling handling, as Transit Traffic. On MGC COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - XXXX ATLANTIC Interconnection Agreement the date which is six (6) months after the Interconnection Activation Date, and thereafter on each succeeding six month anniversary of such Interconnection Activation Date, the Parties shall establish new INP INIP traffic percentages to be applied in the prospective six (6) month period, based on the Performing Party’s 's choice of actual INP traffic percentages from the preceding six (6) month period or historic data of all traffic in the LATA. 14.5.3 The INP Traffic Rate shall be equal to the sum of: (Recip Traffic percentage times the Reciprocal Compensation Rate set forth in Exhibit A) plus (Intra Traffic percentage times Receiving Party’s effective intrastate FGD rates) plus (Inter Traffic percentage times Receiving Party’s effective interstate FGD rates). The Receiving Party shall compensate the Performing Party for its billing and collection of charges for the intrastate and interstate FGD access services provided by the Receiving Party to a third party through the greater of (i) the difference between the intrastate and interstate FGD rates of the Receiving Party and the Performing Party, or (ii) three percent (3%) of the Performing Party’s intrastate and interstate FGD revenues for INP’ed numbers. Under no circumstances shall the Performing Party, in performing the billing and collections service on behalf of the Receiving Party, be obligated to pass through more than ninety seven percent (97%) of its FGD access charge to the Receiving Party in connection with any given INP’ed call.

Receipt of Terminating Compensation on Traffic to INP’ed Numbers. The Parties agree in principle that, under the INP arrangements described in subsections 14.2 and 14.3 above, terminating compensation on calls to INP’ed numbers should be received by each Customer’s chosen LEC as if each call to the Customer had been originally addressed by the caller to a telephone number bearing an NPA-NXX directly assigned to the Customer’s chosen LEC. In order to accomplish this objective where INP is employed, the Parties shall utilize the process set forth in this subsection 14.5 14.6 whereby terminating compensation on calls subject to INP will be passed from the Party (the “Performing Party”) which performs the INP to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) for whose Customer the INP is provided. 14.5.1 14.6.1 The Parties shall individually and collectively make best efforts to track and quantify INP traffic between their networks based on the CPN of each call by identifying CPNs which are INP’ed numbers. The Receiving Party shall charge the Performing Party for each minute of INP traffic at the INP Traffic Rate specified in subsection 14.5.3 14.6.3 in lieu of any other compensation charges for terminating such traffic, except as provided in subsection 14.5.214.6.2. 14.5.2 14.6.2 By the Interconnection Activation Date in each LATA, the Parties shall jointly estimate for the prospective six months, based on historic data of all traffic in the LATA, the percentages of such traffic that, if dialed to telephone numbers bearing NPA-NXXs directly assigned to a Receiving Party (as opposed to the INP’ed number), would have been subject to (i) Reciprocal Compensation (“Recip Traffic”), (ii) appropriate intrastate FGD charges (“Intra Traffic”), (iii) interstate FGD charges (“Inter Traffic”), or (iv) handling as Transit Traffic. On the date which is six (6) months after the Interconnection Activation Date, and thereafter on each succeeding six month anniversary of such Interconnection Activation Date, the Parties shall establish new INP traffic percentages to be applied in the prospective six (6) month period, based on the Performing Party’s choice of actual INP traffic percentages from the preceding six (6) month period or historic data of all traffic in the LATA. 14.5.3 14.6.3 The INP Traffic Rate shall be equal to the sum of: (Recip Traffic percentage times the Reciprocal Compensation Rate set forth in Exhibit A) plus (Intra Traffic percentage times Receiving Party’s effective intrastate FGD rates) plus (Inter Traffic percentage times Receiving Party’s effective interstate FGD rates). The Receiving Party shall compensate the Performing Party for its billing and collection of charges for the intrastate and interstate FGD access services provided by the Receiving Party to a third party through the greater of (i) the difference between the intrastate and interstate FGD rates of the Receiving Party and the Performing Party, or (ii) three percent (3%) of the Performing Party’s intrastate and interstate FGD revenues for INP’ed numbers. Under no circumstances shall the Performing Party, in performing the billing and collections service on behalf of the Receiving Party, be obligated to pass through more than ninety seven percent (97%) of its FGD access charge to the Receiving Party in connection with any given INP’ed call.
