If Frontier Verizon believes that Xxxxx Ygnition has not exercised good faith efforts promptly to obtain such direct interconnection, either Party may use the Dispute Resolution processes of this Agreement. 12.7 If Onvoy Ygnition fails to comply with Section 12 of this Attachment, such failure shall be a material breach of a material provision of this Agreement and Frontier Verizon may exercise any and all remedies under this Agreement and Applicable Law for such breach. 12.8 If or when a third party carrier plans to subtend an Onvoy a Ygnition switch, then Onvoy Ygnition shall provide written notice to Frontier Verizon at least ninety (90) days before such subtending service arrangement becomes effective so that Frontier Verizon may negotiate and establish direct interconnection with such third party carrier.
