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 in lieu of any other compensation charges for terminating such traffic, except as provided in subsection 14.5.2. 14.5.2 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 TrafficIntraTraffic"), (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 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.
