Responsibilities of the Parties. 6.1.1 For all traffic originated on a Party’s network including, without limitation, Switched Access Traffic, such Party shall provide CPN as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 64.1600(c) and in accordance with Section 6.1.3 below. CPN shall, at a minimum, include information in an industry recognized standard format, consistent with the requirements of the NANP containing an NPA and seven digit (NXX-XXXX) telephone number. Each Party to this Agreement will be responsible for passing on any CPN it receives from a Third Party for traffic delivered to the other Party. In addition, each Party agrees that it shall not strip, alter, modify, add, delete, change, or incorrectly assign any CPN. If either Party identifies improper, incorrect, or fraudulent use of local Exchange Services (including, but not limited to PRI, ISDN and/or Smart Trunks), or identifies stripped, altered, modified, added, deleted, changed and/or incorrectly assigned CPN, the Parties agree to cooperate with one another to investigate and take corrective action. 6.1.2 If one Party is passing CPN but the other Party is not properly receiving information, the Parties will work cooperatively to correct the problem. 6.1.3 For traffic which is originated by one Party to be terminated on the other Party’s network in AT&T SOUTHWEST REGION 5-STATE, AT&T MIDWEST REGION 5-STATE and AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9- STATE, if the percentage of such calls passed with CPN is greater than ninety percent (90%), all calls delivered by one Party to the other for termination without CPN will be billed as either Section 251(b)(5) Traffic, Non-toll VoIP-PSTN Traffic or IntraLATA Toll Traffic in direct proportion to the total MOUs (MOUs) of calls delivered by one Party to the other with CPN. If the percentage of calls passed with CPN is less than ninety percent (90%), all calls delivered by one Party to the other without CPN will be billed at Intrastate Switched Access rates. 6.1.4 For those CLEC to AT&T WEST REGION 2-STATE call usage based charges where actual charge information is not determinable by AT&T WEST REGION 2-STATE because the jurisdiction (i.e., intrastate vs. local) or origin of the CLEC to AT&T WEST REGION 2-STATE traffic is unidentifiable, the Parties will jointly develop a Percent Local Usage (PLU) factor in order to determine the appropriate charges to be billed to the CLEC in accordance with Section 6.13.2 or a default factor of fifty percent (50%) will be applied. 6.1.5 For AT&T SOUTHEAST REGION 9-STATE, each Party will report to the other Percent Interstate Usage (PIU), Percent Local Usage (PLU) and Percent Local Facility (PLF) factors in order to determine the appropriate charges to be billed to the originating Party in accordance with Section 6.13.3 below. 6.1.6 CLEC has the sole obligation to enter into compensation arrangements with all Third Parties with whom CLEC exchanges traffic including without limitation anywhere CLEC originates traffic to or terminates traffic from an End User being served by a Third Party who has purchased a local switching product from AT&T-21STATE on a wholesale basis (non-resale) which is used by such Telecommunications carrier to provide wireline local telephone Exchange Service (dial tone) to its End Users. In no event will AT&T-21STATE have any liability to CLEC or any Third Party if CLEC fails to enter into such compensation arrangements. In the event that traffic is exchanged with a Third Party with whom CLEC does not have a traffic compensation agreement, CLEC will indemnify, defend and hold harmless AT&T-21STATE against any and all losses including without limitation, charges levied by such Third Party. The Third Party and CLEC will bill their respective charges directly to each other. AT&T-21STATE will not be required to function as a billing intermediary, (e.g., clearinghouse). AT&T-21STATE may provide information regarding such traffic to Third Party carriers or entities as appropriate to resolve traffic compensation issues. 6.1.7 Notwithstanding the classification of traffic under this Attachment, either Party is free to define its own “local” calling area(s) for purposes of its provision of Telecommunications services to its End Users. 6.1.8 For Section 251(b)(5) Traffic, ISP-Bound Traffic, Optional EAS Traffic, IntraLATA Toll Traffic, Non-toll VoIP- PSTN Traffic and Wholesale Local Switching Traffic in AT&T-12STATE, the Party whose End User originates such traffic shall compensate the Party who terminates such traffic to its End User for the transport and termination of such traffic at the applicable rate(s) provided in this Attachment and the Pricing Schedule and/or the applicable switched access tariffs. 6.1.9 To the extent that the Parties are not currently exchanging traffic in a given LATA or local calling area, the Parties’ obligation to pay intercarrier compensation to each other shall commence on the date the Parties agree that the Interconnection is complete (i.e., each Party has established its originating trunks as well as all ancillary traffic trunking such as Operator Services, 911 or Mass Calling trunks) and is capable of fully supporting originating and terminating End User traffic. In addition, the Parties agree that test traffic is not subject to compensation pursuant to this Attachment. 6.1.10 The Parties acknowledge that Section 6.0 above addresses the method of compensation for traffic properly exchanged by the Parties under this Agreement.

6.1.4 For those CLEC to AT&T WEST REGION 2-STATE call usage based charges where actual charge information is not determinable by AT&T WEST REGION 2-STATE because the jurisdiction (i.e., intrastate vs. local) or origin of the CLEC to AT&T WEST REGION 2-STATE traffic is unidentifiable, the Parties will jointly develop a Percent Local Usage (PLU) factor in order to determine the appropriate charges to be billed to the CLEC in accordance with Section 6.13.2 or a default factor of fifty percent (50%) will be applied.

The Third Party and CLEC will bill their respective charges directly to each other. AT&T-21STATE will not be required to function as a billing intermediary, (e.g., clearinghouse). AT&T-21STATE may provide information regarding such traffic to Third Party carriers or entities as appropriate to resolve traffic compensation issues.

In addition, the Parties agree that test traffic is not subject to compensation pursuant to this Attachment.
