Reciprocal Compensation Arrangements. 5.1.1 The Parties shall compensate each other for the transport and termination of Reciprocal Compensation Traffic over the terminating carrier’s switch in accordance with Section 251(b)(5) of the Act at the rates provided in the Detailed Schedule of Itemized Charges (Exhibit A hereto), as may be amended from time to time in accordance with Exhibit A and Section 17 or, if not set forth therein, in the applicable Verizon Tariff(s). These rates are to be applied at the AWS-IP for traffic delivered by Verizon, and at the Verizon-IP for traffic delivered by AWS. No additional charges shall apply for the termination of such Reciprocal Compensation Traffic delivered to the Verizon-IP or the AWS-IP by the other Party, except as set forth in Exhibit A. When such Reciprocal Compensation Traffic is terminated over the same trunks as Toll Traffic, any port, transport or other applicable access charges related to the delivery of Toll Traffic from the IP to an end user shall be prorated using the CLUP Factor, to be applied only to the Toll Traffic. Subject to Section 5.1.2(c), the designation of traffic as Local Traffic for purposes of Reciprocal Compensation shall be based on the actual originating and terminating points of the complete end-to-end communication.
