Common use of Reverse Billing Clause in Contracts

Reverse Billing. The Parties shall deal with the Reverse Billing arrangement between them as set forth in this Section 6.2: 6.2.1 Reverse Billing shall not be established on any new or existing NXX codes assigned to Carrier which are not established as Reverse Billing NXX codes as of the Effective Date. 6.2.2 Subject to Ameritech meeting its obligations and satisfying the conditions contained in Section 6.2 and Section 3.2.2(d), no later than December 31, 1999, all of Carrier’s existing NXX codes which are established with Reverse Billing shall be converted to Standard Billing, except as set forth in Section 6.2.3. NXX code conversion shall take place on a mutually agreed upon schedule. The Parties shall cooperate with one another to accomplish this conversion of NXX codes. If Carrier fails to take the necessary action by October 31, 1999 to convert Reverse Billing NXX codes to Standard Billing, Ameritech, if it has timely met its obligations in this Section 6.2 and if it has provided Carrier sixty (60) days advance written notice, shall have the right to convert Carrier’s Reverse Billing NXX codes to Standard Billing, except as provided in Section 6.2.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Ameritech’s failure to meet the sixty (60) day interval for conversion of NXX codes as set forth in Section 3.2.2(d) shall in no event be grounds for Carrier to delay its conversion of Reverse Billing NXX codes to Standard Billing NXX codes by December 31, 1999, provided, however, that if Ameritech takes more than sixty (60) days from a completed request to convert Carrier’s NXX codes from Reverse Billing to Standard Billing and if as a result certain Carrier NXX codes are not converted as of December 31, 1999, those NXX codes can remain as Reverse Billing NXX codes until Ameritech is able to complete its conversion activities for those NXX codes. Ameritech shall pay Reciprocal Compensation on Reverse Billing traffic until the earlier of: (i) the date when Reverse Billing is no longer available pursuant to this Section 6.2 or otherwise; or (ii) twelve months after the Effective Date of this Agreement. In addition, Ameritech shall pay Reciprocal Compensation on Reverse Billing in months thirteen (13) through eighteen (18) of the Agreement provided that the following two conditions are both met: (a) Carrier has not been obligated to convert all of its Reverse Billing NXX codes to Standard Billing under this Agreement; and (b) Carrier has converted sufficient Reverse Billing NXX codes to Standard Billing such that the percentage of Reverse Billing NXX codes used by Carrier in the Ameritech serving areas in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin has decreased by at least fifty-nine percent (59%) and has resulted in the conversion of at least 86 NXX codes from Reverse Billing to Standard Billing (“Conversion Benchmarks”). The Conversion Benchmarks shall be measured between February 1, 1998 and the date which is twelve (12) months after the Effective Date of the Agreement. In the event that Carrier is prevented from obtaining the assignment of additional NXX codes within a given NPA for use in Flexible Rating by an NXX code exhaust, NXX code freeze or other NXX code conservation measure, then that NPA shall be considered compliant with the Conversion Benchmarks. If Carrier fails to meet the Conversion Benchmarks set forth above because of Ameritech’s failure to comply with its obligations in this Section 6.2 and (except for the sixty (60) day interval) Section 3.2.2 (d), then Ameritech shall continue to pay Reciprocal Compensation on Reverse Billing traffic until Ameritech has complied with such obligations. At the time that Ameritech has complied with such obligations, Ameritech shall continue paying Reciprocal Compensation on Reverse Billing only if Carrier has met the Conversion Benchmarks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Ameritech pay Reciprocal Compensation on Reverse Billing traffic more than eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date. Both Parties agree that, in this state, it is in their business interests to obtain certainty with respect to the withdrawal of Reverse Billing by Ameritech and to reach a compromise based on the status of Ameritech’s withdrawal of Reverse Billing as of the Effective Date. Each Party’s willingness to agree to obligations set forth in this Section 6.2 is based on the transitional nature of Reverse Billing in this state and each Party’s overall commitments to one another as set forth in this Section 6.2 6.2.3 In the event that Ameritech agrees to provide, is obligated to provide or otherwise provides Reverse Billing to any CMRS carrier providing numeric and/or alphanumeric messaging services within an NPA (referred to as “Other Competing Carrier”), then, notwithstanding Section 6.2.1 and Section 6.2.2, at Xxxxxxx’s request Ameritech shall: (a) continue to provide Reverse Billing to Carrier on existing Reverse Billing NXX codes in the area covered by that NPA until Ameritech no longer provides Reverse Billing to the Other Competing Carrier in that NPA, and (b) establish new Reverse Billing codes for Carrier upon request, but only if Ameritech has provided a competing third party CMRS provider with new Reverse Billing codes or with Reverse Billing codes which have been converted from Standard Billing. If Ameritech extends the period of time which it provides Reverse Billing to Carrier under this Section, Ameritech shall provide Carrier with at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of the date on which Reverse Billing will no longer be available to Carrier. 6.2.4 Carrier shall not file before any court, the Commission, the FCC or any other public agency any complaint or proceeding, formal or informal, which claims that Ameritech is obligated to continue to provide Reverse Billing, except as Ameritech is obligated to do so under this Agreement. This includes, by way of description and not by way of limitation, complaints (formal or informal), motions for declaratory ruling, petitions for rulemaking, injunctions, temporary restraining orders and lawsuits. 6.2.5 Carrier shall compensate Ameritech for any and all Reverse Billing traffic as set forth in Schedule 6.2.5. 6.2.6 Within sixty (60) days of a written request by Carrier, no more than once per LATA Ameritech shall provide Carrier with Reverse Billing usage detail for each NPA in which the Reverse Billing NXXs are currently rated. The information shall show originating and terminating usage on an NPA/NXX basis. 6.2.7 For purposes of eliminating Reverse Billing calls, Xxxxxxx shall request the assignment of a reasonable number of additional NXX codes for use as Flexible Rating NXX codes, which shall not exceed four (4) NXX codes per NPA. If Carrier is unable to obtain the number of agreed upon NXX codes in an NPA, its obligation to convert from Reverse Billing to Standard Billing in that NPA, and Ameritech’s right to convert Carrier from Reverse Billing to Standard Billing in that NPA, shall be delayed until a date which is ninety (90) days after Carrier is able to obtain newly available NXX codes in that NPA, whether by means of an NPA split, an NPA overlay or otherwise. Carrier shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such newly available NXX codes expeditiously. In no event shall a shortage of NXX codes in one NPA delay Carrier’s obligation to convert from Reverse Billing to Standard Billing in any other NPA.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Ameritech’s failure to meet the sixty (60) day interval for conversion of NXX codes as set forth in Section 3.2.2(d) shall in no event be grounds for Carrier to delay its conversion of Reverse Billing NXX codes to Standard Billing NXX codes by December 31, 1999, provided, however, that if Ameritech takes more than sixty (60) days from a completed request to convert Carrier’s NXX codes from Reverse Billing to Standard Billing and if as a result certain Carrier NXX codes are not converted as of December 31, 1999, those NXX codes can remain as Reverse Billing NXX codes until Ameritech is able to complete its conversion activities for those NXX codes.

At the time that Ameritech has complied with such obligations, Ameritech shall continue paying Reciprocal Compensation on Reverse Billing only if Carrier has met the Conversion Benchmarks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Ameritech pay Reciprocal Compensation on Reverse Billing traffic more than eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date.
