GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

WHEREAS, CLEC previously purchased on an unbundled basis from Qwest certain combinations of network elements, ancillary functions, and additional features, including without limitation the local loop, port, switching, and shared transport combination commonly known as unbundled network element platform ("UNE-P");

WHEREAS such UNE-P arrangements were previously obtained by CLEC under the terms and conditions of certain interconnection agreements ("ICA"), including without limitation in certain states Qwest's statement of generally available terms ("SGAT");

WHEREAS both CLEC and Qwest acknowledge certain regulatory uncertainty in light of the DC Circuit Court's decision in United States Telecom Association v. FCC, 359 F.3d 554 (March 2, 2004) ("DC Circuit Mandate"), with respect to the future existence, scope, and nature of Qwest's obligation to provide such UNE-P arrangements under the Communications Act (the "Act"); and

WHEREAS to address such uncertainty and to create a stable arrangement for the continued availability to CLEC from Qwest of services technically and functionally equivalent to the June 14, 2004 UNE-P arrangements the parties have contemporaneously entered into ICA amendments;

Now, therefore, in consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, CLEC and Qwest hereby mutually agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein are defined in Addendum 1.

2. Effective Date. This Amendment shall become effective upon the latest execution date by the Parties. ("Effective Date").

3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue through July 31, 2008. At any time within 6 months prior to expiration of the Agreement, either Party may provide notice of renegotiation. The Parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith a transition of existing customers. Upon mutual agreement, the term of the Agreement may be extended upon the same terms and conditions for no more than one (1) extension period, and such extension period shall not exceed six (6) months to allow CLEC to transition its customers to other services. In the event that at the expiration of the Agreement or of the extension period, as the case may be, CLEC has any remaining customers served under this Agreement, Qwest may immediately convert CLEC to an equivalent alternative service at market-based wholesale rates.

4. Scope of Agreement; Service Provisioning; Controlling Documents; Change of Law; Eligibility for Services under this Agreement; Non-Applicability of Change Management Process.

4.1 The services described in this Agreement will only be provided in Qwest's incumbent LEC service territory in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

4.2 Each of the Services shall be provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any Service Exhibit attached hereto and these General Terms and Conditions, the Service Exhibit shall control. The terms of this Agreement, including any Annex or Service Exhibit, shall supersede any inconsistent terms and conditions contained in an Order Form. CLEC acknowledges and agrees that the Services shall be offered by Qwest pursuant to this Agreement and are subject to (i) compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; and (ii) obtaining any domestic or foreign approvals and authorizations required or advisable.

4.3 The provisions in this Agreement are intended to be in compliance with and based on the existing state of the law, rules, regulations and interpretations thereof, including but not limited to Federal rules, regulations, and laws, as of the Effective Date regarding Qwest's obligation under Section 271 of the Act to continue to provide certain Network Elements ("Existing Rules"). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed an admission by Qwest or CLEC concerning the

interpretation or effect of the Existing Rules or an admission by Qwest or CLEC that the Existing Rules should not be changed, vacated, dismissed, stayed or modified. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or estop Qwest or CLEC from taking any position in any forum concerning the proper interpretation or effect of the Existing Rules or concerning whether the Existing Rules should be changed, vacated, dismissed, stayed or modified.

4.4 If a change in law, rule, or regulation materially impairs a Party's ability to perform or obtain a benefit under this Agreement, both Parties agree to negotiate in good faith such changes as may be necessary to address such material impairment.

4.5 To receive services under this Agreement, CLEC must be a certified CLEC under applicable state rules. CLEC may not purchase or utilize services or Network Elements covered under this Agreement for its own administrative use or for the use by an Affiliate.

4.6: Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Parties agree that Network Elements and services provided under this Agreement are not subject to the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process ("CMP") requirements, Qwest's Performance Indicators (PID), Performance Assurance Plan (PAP), or any other wholesale service quality standards, liquidated damages, and remedies. Except as otherwise provided, CLEC hereby waives any rights it may have under the PID, PAP and all other wholesale service quality standards, liquidated damages, and remedies with respect to Network Elements and services provided pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CLEC proposed changes to QPP attributes and process enhancements will be communicated through the standard account interfaces. Change requests common to shared systems and processes subject to CMP will continue to be addressed via the CMP procedures.

5. CLEC Information. CLEC agrees to work with Qwest in good faith to promptly complete or update, as applicable, Qwest's "New Customer Questionnaire" to the extent that CLEC has not already done so, and CLEC shall hold Qwest harmless for any damages to or claims from CLEC caused by CLEC's failure to complete or update the questionnaire.

6. Financial Terms.

Rates and Terms

6.1 Each attached Service Exhibit specifies the description, terms, and conditions specific to that Network Element or service. The applicable rates for each Network Element or service contained in a Service Exhibit shall be contained in the applicable Rate Sheets, the contents of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Parties agree that the rates set forth in the Rate Sheet are just and reasonable. The Parties agree that no rates, charges, costs, or fees shall apply to the Network Elements or services provided under this Agreement other than as is set forth in the Rate Sheets. The rates will not necessarily include Taxes, fees, or surcharges. No Taxes, fees, or surcharges shall apply to the QPP™ service except such Taxes, fees and surcharges as apply to the UNE-P service as of June 14, 2004, unless a subsequent change in applicable law requires the applicability of new or additional Taxes, fees, or surcharges to the QPP™ service.

Taxes, Fees, and other Governmental Impositions

6.2 All charges for Services provided herein are exclusive of any federal, state, or local sales, use, excise, gross receipts, transaction or similar taxes, fees or surcharges ("Tax" or "Taxes"). Taxes resulting from the performance of this Agreement shall be borne by the Party upon which the obligation for payment is imposed under Applicable Law, even if the obligation to collect and remit such Taxes is placed upon the other Party. However, where the selling Party is specifically permitted by an Applicable Law to collect such Taxes from the purchasing Party, such Taxes shall be borne by the Party purchasing the services. Each Party is responsible for any tax on its corporate existence, status or income. Taxes shall be billed as a separate item on the invoice in accordance with Applicable Law. The Party billing such Taxes shall, at the written request of the

Party billed, provide the billed Party with detailed information regarding billed Taxes, including the applicable Tax jurisdiction, rate, and base upon which the Tax is applied. If either Party (the Contesting Party) contests the application of any Tax collected by the other Party (the Collecting Party), the Collecting Party shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with the Contesting Party's challenge, provided that the Contesting Party pays any reasonable costs incurred by the Collecting Party. The Contesting Party is entitled to the benefit of any refund or recovery resulting from the contest, provided that the Contesting Party has paid the Tax contested. If the purchasing Party provides the selling Party with a resale or other exemption certificate, the selling Party shall exempt the purchasing Party if the purchasing Party accepts the certificate in good faith. If a Party becomes aware that any Tax is incorrectly or erroneously collected by that Party from the other Party or paid by the other Party to that Party, that Party shall refund the incorrectly or erroneously collected Tax or paid Tax to the other Party.

6.3 Each Party shall be solely responsible for all taxes on its own business, the measure of which is its own net income or net worth and shall be responsible for any related tax filings, payment, protest, audit and litigation. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the billing, collection and proper remittance of all applicable Taxes relating to its own services provided to its own customers.

7. Intellectual Property.

7.1 Except for a license to use any facilities or equipment (including software) solely for the purposes of this Agreement or to receive any service solely (a) as provided in this Agreement or (b) as specifically required by the then-applicable federal rules and regulations relating to the Network Elements or service provided under this Agreement, nothing contained within this Agreement shall be construed as the grant of a license, either express or implied, with respect to any patent, copyright, trade name, trade xxxx, service xxxx, trade secret, or other proprietary interest or intellectual property, now or hereafter owned, controlled or licensable by either Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as the grant to the other Party of any rights or licenses to trade or service marks.

7.2 Subject to the general Indemnity provisions of this Agreement, each Party (an Indemnifying Party) shall indemnify and hold the other Party (an Indemnified Party) harmless from and against any loss, cost, expense or liability arising out of a claim that the services provided by the Indemnifying Party provided or used pursuant to the terms of this Agreement misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of any third party. The obligation for indemnification recited in this paragraph shall not extend to infringement which results from (a) any combination of the facilities or services of the Indemnifying Party with facilities or services of any other Person (including the Indemnified Party but excluding the Indemnifying Party and any of its Affiliates), which combination is not made by or at the direction of the Indemnifying Party or is not reasonably necessary to CLEC's use of the Network Elements and services offered by Qwest under this Agreement or (b) any modification made to the facilities or services of the Indemnifying Party by, on behalf of, or at the request of the Indemnified Party and not required by the Indemnifying Party. In the event of any claim, the Indemnifying Party may, at its sole option (a) obtain the right for the Indemnified Party to continue to use the facility or service; or (b) replace or modify the facility or service to make such facility or service non-infringing. If the Indemnifying Party is not reasonably able to obtain the right for continued use or to replace or modify the facility or service as provided in the preceding sentence and either (a) the facility or service is held to be infringing by a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the Indemnifying Party reasonably believes that the facility or service will be held to infringe, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding reasonable modifications to this Agreement necessary to (1) mitigate damage or comply with an injunction which may result from such infringement or (2) allow cessation of further infringement. The Indemnifying Party may request that the Indemnified Party take steps to mitigate damages

resulting from the infringement or alleged infringement including, but not limited to, accepting modifications to the facilities or services, and such request shall not be unreasonably denied.

7.3 To the extent required under applicable federal and state law, Qwest shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, from its vendors who have licensed intellectual property rights to Qwest in connection with facilities and services provided hereunder, licenses under such intellectual property rights as necessary for CLEC to use such facilities and services as contemplated hereunder and at least in the same manner used by Qwest for the facilities and services provided hereunder. Qwest shall notify CLEC immediately in the event that Qwest believes it has used its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such rights, but has been unsuccessful in obtaining such rights. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed in any way to condition, limit, or alter a Party's indemnification obligations under Section 7.2, preceding.

7.4 Except as expressly provided in this Intellectual Property Section, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as the grant of a license, either express or implied, with respect to any patent, copyright, logo, trademark, trade name, trade secret or any other intellectual property right now or hereafter owned, controlled or licensable by either Party. Neither Party may use any patent, copyright, logo, trademark, trade name, trade secret or other intellectual property rights of the other Party or its Affiliates without execution of a separate agreement between the Parties.

7.5 Neither Party shall without the express written permission of the other Party, state or imply that: 1) it is connected, or in any way affiliated with the other or its Affiliates; 2) it is part of a joint business association or any similar arrangement with the other or its Affiliates; 3) the other Party and its Affiliates are in any way sponsoring, endorsing or certifying it and its goods and services; or 4) with respect to its marketing, advertising or promotional activities or materials, the services are in any way associated with or originated from the other Party or any of its Affiliates. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent either Party from truthfully describing the Network Elements and services it uses to provide service to its End User Customers, provided it does not represent the Network Elements and services as originating from the other Party or its Affiliates or otherwise attempt to sell its End User Customers using the name of the other Party or its Affiliates.

7.6 Qwest and CLEC each recognize that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended as an assignment or grant to the other of any right, title or interest in or to the trademarks or service marks of the other (the Marks) and that this Agreement does not confer any right or license to grant sublicenses or permission to third parties to use the Marks of the other and is not assignable. Neither Party will do anything inconsistent with the other's ownership of their respective Marks, and all rights, if any, that may be acquired by use of the Marks shall inure to the benefit of their respective owners. The Parties shall comply with all Applicable Law governing Marks worldwide and neither Party will infringe the Marks of the other.

7.7 Since a breach of the material provisions of this Section 7 may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be inadequate, in addition to other available remedies, the non-breaching Party may seek injunctive relief.

8. Financial Responsibility, Payment and Security.

8.1 Payment Obligation. Amounts payable under this Agreement are due and payable within thirty (30) calendar Days after the date of invoice (payment due date). If the payment due date is a Saturday, the payment shall be due on the previous Friday; if the payment due date is otherwise not a business day, the payment shall be due the next business day. Invoices shall be sent electronically, and shall bear the date on which they are sent, except that invoices sent on a day other than a business day shall be dated on the next business day.

8.2 Cessation of Order Processing. Qwest may discontinue processing orders for Network Elements and services provided pursuant to this Agreement for the failure of CLEC to make full

payment for the relevant services, less any good faith disputed amount as provided for in this Agreement, for the relevant services provided under this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar Days following the payment due date provided that Qwest has first notified CLEC in writing at least ten (10) business days prior to discontinuing the processing of orders for the relevant services. If Qwest does not refuse to accept additional orders for the relevant services on the date specified in the ten (10) business days notice, and CLEC's non-compliance continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude Qwest's right to refuse to accept additional orders for the relevant services from CLEC without further notice. For order processing to resume, CLEC will be required to make full payment of all past-due charges for the relevant services not disputed in good faith under this Agreement, and Qwest may require a deposit (or recalculate the deposit) pursuant to Section 8.5. In addition to other remedies that may be available at law or equity, CLEC reserves the right to seek equitable relief including injunctive relief and specific performance.

8.3 Disconnection. Qwest may disconnect any and all relevant Network Elements and services provided under this Agreement for failure by CLEC to make full payment for such Network Elements or services, less any disputed amount as provided for in this Agreement, for the relevant services provided under this Agreement within sixty (60) calendar Days following the payment due date provided that Qwest has first notified CLEC in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to disconnecting the relevant services. CLEC will pay the applicable reconnect charge set forth in the Rate Sheet required to reconnect Network Elements and services for each End User Customer disconnected pursuant to this paragraph. In case of such disconnection, all applicable undisputed charges, including termination charges, shall become due. If Qwest does not disconnect CLEC's service(s) on the date specified in the thirty (30) day notice, and CLEC's noncompliance continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude Qwest's right to disconnect any or all relevant services of the non-complying Party without further notice. Qwest shall provide a subsequent written notice at least two (2) business days prior to disconnecting service. Disconnect of certain Network Elements or services under this Agreement with respect to which CLEC has failed to pay undisputed charges shall not trigger the disconnection of Network Elements or services for which CLEC has paid all undisputed charges, and Qwest shall be permitted to disconnect under this section only those Network Elements or services for which CLEC fails to pay all undisputed charges prior to the expiration of the applicable thirty-day or two business day notice period. For reconnection of the non-paid service to occur, CLEC will be required to make full payment of all past and current undisputed charges under this Agreement for the relevant services and Qwest may require a deposit (or recalculate the deposit) pursuant to Section 8.5. Both Parties agree, however, that the application of this Section 8.3 will be suspended for the initial three (3) Billing cycles of this Agreement and will not apply to amounts billed during those three (3) cycles. In addition to other remedies that may be available at law or equity, each Party reserves the right to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qwest shall not effect a disconnection pursuant to this section in such manner that CLEC may not reasonably comply with Applicable Law concerning End User Customer disconnection and notification, provided that, the foregoing is subject to CLEC's reasonable diligence in effecting such compliance.

8.4 Billing Disputes. Should either Party dispute, in good faith, and withhold payment on any portion of the nonrecurring charges or monthly Billing under this Agreement, the Parties will notify each other in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days following the payment due date identifying the amount, reason and rationale of such dispute. At a minimum, each Party shall pay all undisputed amounts due to the other Party. Both CLEC and Qwest agree to expedite the investigation of any disputed amounts, promptly provide all documentation regarding the amount disputed that is reasonably requested, and work in good faith in an effort to resolve and settle the dispute through informal means prior to initiating any other rights or remedies.

8.4.1 If a Party disputes charges and does not pay such charges by the payment due date, such charges may be subject to late payment charges. If the disputed charges have been withheld and the dispute is resolved in favor of Qwest, the withholding Party shall pay the disputed amount and applicable late payment charges no later than the next Xxxx Date following the resolution. The withholding Party may not continue to withhold the disputed amount following the initial resolution while pursuing further dispute resolution. If the disputed charges have been withheld and the dispute is resolved in favor of the disputing Party, Qwest shall credit the xxxx of the disputing Party for the amount of the disputed charges and any late payment charges that have been assessed no later than the second Xxxx Date after the resolution of the dispute. If a Party pays the disputed charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of Qwest, no further action is required.

8.4.2 If a Party pays the charges disputed at the time of payment or at any time thereafter pursuant to Section 8.4.3, and the dispute is resolved in favor of the disputing Party Qwest shall, no later than the next Xxxx Date after the resolution of the dispute: (1) credit the disputing Party's xxxx for the disputed amount and any associated interest or (2) pay the remaining amount to CLEC, if the disputed amount is greater than the xxxx to be credited. The interest calculated on the disputed amounts will be the same rate as late payment charges. In no event, however, shall any late payment charges be assessed on any previously assessed late payment charges.

8.4.3 If a Party fails to xxxx a charge or discovers an error on a xxxx it has already provided to the other Party, or if a Party fails to dispute a charge and discovers an error on a xxxx it has paid after the period set forth in Section 8.4, the Party may dispute the xxxx at a later time through an informal process notwithstanding the requirements of Section 8.4, but subject to the Dispute Resolution provision of this Agreement, and Applicable Law.

8.5 Security Deposits. In the event of a material adverse change in CLEC's financial condition subsequent to the Effective Date, Qwest may request a security deposit. A "material adverse change in financial condition" shall mean a Party is a new CLEC with no established credit history, or is a CLEC that has not established satisfactory credit with Qwest, or the Party is repeatedly delinquent in making its payments, or the Party is being reconnected after a disconnection of service or discontinuance of the processing of orders by the Billing Party due to a previous undisputed nonpayment situation. The Billing Party may require a deposit to be held as security for the payment of charges before the orders from the billed Party will be provisioned and completed or before reconnection of service. "Repeatedly delinquent" means any payment of a material amount of total monthly billing under the Agreement received thirty (30) calendar Days or more after the payment due date, three (3) or more times during a twelve (12) month period. The INITIAL deposit may not exceed the estimated total monthly charges for an average two (2) month period within the 1^st three (3) months for all services. The deposit may be a surety bond if allowed by the applicable Commission regulations, a letter of credit with terms and conditions acceptable to the Billing Party, or some other form of mutually acceptable security such as a cash deposit. The deposit may be adjusted by the billing party's actual monthly average charges, payment history under this agreement, or other relevant factors, but in no event shall the security deposit exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000.00). Required deposits are due and payable within thirty (30) calendar Days after demand and non-payment shall be subject to 8.2 and 8.3 of this Section.

8.6 Interest on Deposits. Any interest earned on cash deposits shall be credited to CLEC in the amount actually earned or at the rate set forth in Section 8.7 below, whichever is lower, except as otherwise required by law, provided that, for elimination of doubt, the Parties agree that such deposits shall not be deemed subject to state laws or regulations relating to consumer or End User Customer cash deposits. Cash deposits and accrued interest, if applicable, will be credited to CLEC's account or refunded, as appropriate, upon the earlier of the expiration of the term of the

Agreement or the establishment of satisfactory credit with Qwest, which will generally be one full year of timely payments of undisputed amounts in full by CLEC. Upon a material change in financial standing, CLEC may request and Qwest will consider a recalculation of the deposit. The fact that a deposit has been made does not relieve CLEC from any requirements of this Agreement.

8.7 Late Payment Penalty. If any portion of the payment is received by Qwest after the payment due date as set forth above, or if any portion of the payment is received by Qwest in funds that are not immediately available, then a late payment penalty shall be due to Qwest. The late payment penalty shall be the portion of the payment not received by the payment due date multiplied by a late factor. The late factor shall be the lesser of: (1) The highest interest rate (in decimal value) which may be levied by law for commercial transactions, compounded daily for the number of days from the payment due date to and including the date that the CLEC actually makes the payment to the Company, or (0) 0.000000 per day, compounded daily for the number of days from the payment due date to and including the date that the CLEC actually makes the payment to Qwest.

8.8 Notice to End User Customers. CLEC shall be responsible for notifying its End User Customers of any pending disconnection of a non-paid service by CLEC, if necessary, to allow those End User Customers to make other arrangements for such non-paid services.

9. Conversions/Terminations. If CLEC is obtaining services from Qwest under an arrangement or agreement that includes the application of termination liability assessment (TLA) or minimum period charges, and if CLEC wishes to convert such services to a service under this Agreement, the conversion of such services will not be delayed due to the applicability of TLA or minimum period charges. The applicability of such charges is governed by the terms of the original agreement, Tariff or arrangement. Nothing herein shall be construed as expanding the rights otherwise granted by this Agreement or by law to elect to make such conversions.

9.1 In the event Qwest terminates the Provisioning of any service to CLEC for any reason, CLEC shall be responsible for providing any and all necessary notice to its End User Customers of the termination. In no case shall Qwest be responsible for providing such notice to CLEC's End User Customers. Qwest shall only be required to notify CLEC of Qwest's termination of the service on a timely basis consistent with FCC rules and notice requirements.

10. Customer Contacts. CLEC, or CLEC's authorized agent, shall act as the single point of contact for its End User Customers' service needs, including without limitation, sales, service design, order taking, Provisioning, change orders, training, maintenance, trouble reports, repair, post-sale servicing, Billing, collection and inquiry. CLEC shall inform its End User Customers that they are End User Customers of CLEC. CLEC's End User Customers contacting Qwest will be instructed to contact CLEC, and Qwest's End User Customers contacting CLEC will be instructed to contact Qwest. In responding to calls, neither Party shall make disparaging remarks about each other. To the extent the correct provider can be determined, misdirected calls received by either Party will be referred to the proper provider of Local Exchange Service; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit Qwest or CLEC from discussing its products and services with CLEC's or Qwest's End User Customers who call the other Party seeking such information.

11. Default and Breach

If either Party defaults in the payment of any amount due hereunder, or if either Party violates any other material provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Sections 6, 7, 8, 13, 16, 21, 29, 31, 32, 34, and 35, and such default or violation continues for thirty (30) calendar Days after written notice thereof, the other Party may terminate this Agreement and seek relief in accordance with the Dispute Resolution provision, or any remedy under this Agreement.

12. Limitation of Liability.

12.1 To the extent the Agreement or an Exhibit contains an express remedy in the form of a quality of service credit or other liquidated damages in connection with services provided by Qwest under this Agreement or for a failure to provide such services, such credit shall be deemed to be CLEC's sole remedy under this Agreement for losses, damages, or other claims related to or connected with the events giving rise to the claim for quality of service credit.

12.2 Neither Party shall be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or special damages, including (without limitation) damages for lost profits, lost revenues, lost savings suffered by the other Party regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, warranty, strict liability, tort, including (without limitation) negligence of any kind and regardless of whether the Parties know the possibility that such damages could result.

12.3 Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall limit either Party's obligations of indemnification specified in this Agreement, nor shall this Section 12 limit a Party's liability for failing to make any payment due under this Agreement.

12.4 The foregoing limitations apply to all causes of actions and claims, including without limitation, breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability, misrepresentation and other torts. In any arbitration under this Agreement, the Arbitrator shall not be able to award, nor shall any party be entitled to receive damages not otherwise recoverable under this agreement.

12.5 Nothing contained in this Section shall limit either Party's liability to the other for willful misconduct, provided that, a Party's liability to the other Party pursuant to the foregoing exclusion, other than direct damages, shall be limited to a total cap equal to one hundred per cent (100%) of the annualized run rate of total amounts charged by Qwest to CLEC under the Agreement.

13. Indemnity.

13.1 The Parties agree that unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement the following constitute the sole indemnification obligations between and among the Parties:

13.1.1 Each Party (the Indemnifying Party) agrees to release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each an Indemnitee) from and against and in respect of any loss, debt, liability, damage, obligation, claim, demand, judgment or settlement of any nature or kind, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated including, but not limited to, reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees), whether suffered, made, instituted, or asserted by any Person or entity, for invasion of privacy, bodily injury or death of any Person or Persons, or for loss, damage to, or destruction of tangible property, whether or not owned by others, resulting from the Indemnifying Party's breach of or failure to perform under this Agreement, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, warranty, strict liability, or tort including (without limitation) negligence of any kind.

13.1.2 In the case of claims or loss alleged or incurred by an End User Customer of either Party arising out of or in connection with services provided to the End User Customer by the Party, the Party whose End User Customer alleged or incurred such claims or loss (the Indemnifying Party) shall defend and indemnify the other Party and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively the Indemnified Party) against any and all such claims or loss by the Indemnifying Party's End User Customers regardless of whether the underlying service was provided or Network Element was provisioned by the Indemnified Party, unless the loss was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. The obligation to indemnify with respect to claims of the Indemnifying Party's End User Customers shall not extend to any claims for physical bodily injury or death of any Person or persons, or for loss, damage to, or destruction of tangible property, whether

or not owned by others, alleged to have resulted directly from the negligence or intentional conduct of the employees, contractors, agents, or other representatives of the Indemnified Party.

13.2 The indemnification provided herein shall be conditioned upon:

13.2.1 The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of any action taken against the Indemnified Party relating to the indemnification. Failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that the Indemnifying Party might have, except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim.

13.2.2 If the Indemnifying Party wishes to defend against such action, it shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party of acceptance of the defense of such action. In such event, the Indemnifying Party shall have sole authority to defend any such action, including the selection of legal counsel, and the Indemnified Party may engage separate legal counsel only at its sole cost and expense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of the action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel for such defense at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in the defense of any such action and the relevant records of each Party shall be available to the other Party with respect to any such defense.

13.2.3 In no event shall the Indemnifying Party settle or consent to any judgment for relief other than monetary damages pertaining to any such action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnified Party withholds consent the Indemnified Party may, at its cost, take over such defense, provided that, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for, nor shall it be obligated to indemnify the relevant Indemnified Party against, any cost or liability in excess of such refused compromise or settlement.

14. Limited Warranties.

14.1 Each party shall provide suitably qualified personnel to perform this Agreement and all services hereunder in a good and workmanlike manner and in material conformance with all applicable laws and regulations.

In the event of such a proposed transfer, Qwest shall use best efforts to facilitate discussions between CLEC and the transferee with respect to transferee's assumption of Qwest's obligations after the above-stated transition period pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

17. Reporting Requirements. If reporting obligations or requirements are imposed upon either Party by any third party or regulatory agency in connection with either this Agreement or the services, including use of the services by CLEC or its End Users, the other Party agrees to assist that Party in complying with such obligations and requirements, as reasonably required by that Party.

18. Intentionally Left Blank.

19. Survival. The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of those obligations that by their nature are intended to survive.

20. Publicity. Following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties may publish or use any publicity materials with respect to the execution, delivery, existence, or substance of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party. Nothing in this section shall limit a Party's ability to issue public statements with respect to regulatory or judicial proceedings.

21. Confidentiality.

21.1 All Proprietary Information shall remain the property of the disclosing Party. A Party who receives Proprietary Information via an oral communication may request written confirmation that the material is Proprietary Information. A Party who delivers Proprietary Information via an oral communication may request written confirmation that the Party receiving the information understands that the material is Proprietary Information. Each Party shall have the right to correct an inadvertent failure to identify information as Proprietary Information by giving written notification within thirty (30) Days after the information is disclosed. The receiving Party shall from that time forward, treat such information as Proprietary Information.

21.2 Upon request by the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall return all tangible copies of Proprietary Information, whether written, graphic or otherwise, except that the receiving Party may retain one copy for archival purposes.

21.3 Each Party shall keep all of the other Party's Proprietary Information confidential and will disclose it on a need to know basis only. Each Party shall use the other Party's Proprietary Information only in connection with this Agreement and in accordance with Applicable Law. In accordance with Section 222 of the Act, when either Party receives or obtains Proprietary Information from the other Party for purposes of providing any Telecommunications Services or information services or both, that Party shall use such information only for such purpose, and shall not use such information for its own marketing efforts. Neither Party shall use the other Party's Proprietary Information for any other purpose except upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon between the Parties in writing. Violations of these obligations shall subject a Party's employees to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. If either Party loses, or makes an unauthorized disclosure of, the other Party's Proprietary Information, it will notify such other Party immediately and use reasonable efforts to retrieve the information.

21.4 Nothing herein is intended to prohibit a Party from supplying factual information about its network and Telecommunications Services on or connected to its network to regulatory agencies including the FCC and the appropriate state regulatory commission so long as any confidential obligation is protected. In addition either Party shall have the right to disclose Proprietary Information to any mediator, arbitrator, state or federal regulatory body, the Department of Justice or any court in the conduct of any proceeding arising under or relating in any way to this Agreement or the conduct of either Party in connection with this Agreement or in any proceedings concerning the provision of InterLATA services by Qwest that are or may be required by the Act. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in order to seek appropriate protection or treatment of such Proprietary Information pursuant to an appropriate protective order in any such proceeding.

21.5 Effective Date of this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Proprietary Information provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all information furnished by either Party to the other in furtherance of the purpose of this Agreement, even if furnished before the Effective Date.

21.6 Each Party agrees that the disclosing Party could be irreparably injured by a breach of the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement by the receiving Party or its representatives and that the disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance in the event of any breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

21.7 Nothing herein should be construed as limiting either Party's rights with respect to its own Proprietary Information or its obligations with respect to the other Party's Proprietary Information under Section 222 of the Act.

21.8 Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either Party from disclosing this Agreement or the substance thereof to any third party after its execution.

22. Waiver. The failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or the waiver thereof in any instance shall not be construed as a general waiver or relinquishment on its part of any such provision, but the same shall, nevertheless, be and remain in full force and effect.

23. Regulatory Approval. Each party reserves its rights with respect to whether this Agreement is subject to Sections 251 and 252 of the Act. In the event the FCC, a state commission or any other governmental authority or agency rejects or modifies any material provision in this Agreement, either Party may immediately upon written notice to the other Party terminate this Agreement and any interconnection agreement amendment executed concurrently with this Agreement. If a Party is required by a lawful, binding order to file this Agreement or a provision

thereof with the FCC or state regulatory authorities for approval or regulatory review, the filing party shall provide written notice to the other party of the existence of such lawful, binding order so that the other party may seek an injunction or other relief from such order. In addition, the filing party agrees to reasonably cooperate to amend and make modifications to the Agreement to allow the filing of the Agreement or the specific part of the Agreement affected by the order to the extent reasonably necessary.

24. Notices. Any notices required by or concerning this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if delivered personally, delivered by prepaid overnight express service, sent by facsimile with electronic confirmation, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by email where specified in this Agreement to Qwest and CLEC at the addresses shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement.

25. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance of any part of this Agreement from any cause beyond its control and without its fault or negligence including, without limitation, acts of nature, acts of civil or military authority, government regulations, embargoes, epidemics, terrorist acts, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, nuclear accidents, floods, work stoppages, power blackouts, volcanic action, other major environmental disturbances, or unusually severe weather conditions (collectively, a Force Majeure Event). Inability to secure products or services of other Persons or transportation facilities or acts or omissions of transportation carriers shall be considered Force Majeure Events to the extent any delay or failure in performance caused by these circumstances is beyond the Party's control and without that Party's fault or negligence. The Party affected by a Force Majeure Event shall give prompt notice to the other Party, shall be excused from performance of its obligations hereunder on a day to day basis to the extent those obligations are prevented by the Force Majeure Event, and shall use reasonable efforts to remove or mitigate the Force Majeure Event. In the event of a labor dispute or strike the Parties agree to provide service to each other at a level equivalent to the level they provide themselves.

26. Governing Law. This Agreement is offered by Qwest in accordance with Section 271 of the Act. Any issue of general contract law shall be interpreted solely in accordance with the state law of New York, without reference to any conflict of laws principles.

27. Dispute Resolution.

27.1 If any claim, controversy or dispute between the Parties, their agents, employees, officers, directors or affiliated agents should arise, and the Parties do not resolve it in the ordinary course of their dealings (the "Dispute"), then it shall be resolved in accordance with this Section. Each notice of default, unless cured within the applicable cure period, shall be resolved in accordance herewith. Dispute resolution under the procedures provided in this Section 27 shall be the preferred, but not the exclusive remedy for all disputes between Qwest and CLEC arising out of this Agreement or its breach. Each Party reserves its rights to resort to any forum with competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 23 shall limit the right of either Qwest or CLEC, upon meeting the requisite showing, to obtain provisional remedies (including injunctive relief) from a court before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 27. Once a decision is reached by the arbitrator, however, such decision shall supersede any provisional remedy.

27.2 At the written request of either Party (the Resolution Request), and prior to any other formal dispute resolution proceedings, each Party shall within seven (7) calendar Days after such Resolution Request designate a director level employee or a representative with authority to make commitments to review, meet, and negotiate, in good faith, to resolve the Dispute. The Parties intend that these negotiations be conducted by non-lawyer, business representatives, and the locations, format, frequency, duration, and conclusions of these discussions shall be at the discretion of the representatives. By mutual agreement, the representatives may use other

procedures, such as mediation, to assist in these negotiations. The discussions and correspondence among the representatives for the purposes of these negotiations shall be treated as Confidential Information developed for purposes of settlement, and shall be exempt from discovery and production, and shall not be admissible in any subsequent arbitration or other proceedings without the concurrence of both of the Parties.

27.3 If the director level representatives or the designated representative with authority to make commitments have not reached a resolution of the Dispute within fifteen (15) calendar Days after the Resolution Request (or such longer period as agreed to in writing by the Parties), then the Parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute through vice-presidential representatives. If the vice-presidential representatives are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) Calendar Days after the Resolution Request (or such longer period as agreed to in writing by the Parties), then either Party may request that the Dispute be settled by arbitration. If either Party requests arbitration, the other Party shall be required to comply with that request and both Parties shall submit to binding arbitration of the Dispute as described in this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing escalation timeframes, a Party may request that the Dispute of the type described in Section 27.3.1, below, be settled by arbitration two (2) calendar Days after the Resolution Request pursuant to the terms of Section 27.3.1. In any case, the arbitration proceeding shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, knowledgeable about the Telecommunications industry unless the Dispute involves amounts exceeding five million ($5,000,000) in which case the proceeding shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, knowledgeable about the Telecommunications industry. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted under the then-current rules for commercial disputes of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or J.A.M.S./Endispute, at the election of the Party that initiates dispute resolution under this Section 27. Such rules and procedures shall apply notwithstanding any part of such rules that may limit their availability for resolution of a Dispute. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of the Dispute. The arbitrator shall not have authority to award punitive damages. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees, and shall share equally in the fees and expenses of the arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings shall occur in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area or in another mutually agreeable location. It is acknowledged that the Parties, by mutual, written agreement, may change any of these arbitration practices for a particular, some, or all Dispute(s). The Party that sends the Resolution Request must notify the Secretary of the FCC of the arbitration proceeding within forty-eight (48) hours of the determination to arbitrate.

27.3.1 All expedited procedures prescribed by the AAA or J.A.M.S./Endispute rules, as the case may be, shall apply to Disputes affecting the ability of a Party to provide uninterrupted, high quality services to its End User Customers, or as otherwise called for in this Agreement. A Party may seek expedited resolution of a Dispute if the vice-presidential level representative, or other representative with authority to make commitments, have not reached a resolution of the Dispute within two (2) calendar Days after the Resolution Request. In the event the Parties do not agree that a service-affecting Dispute exists, the Dispute resolution shall commence under the expedited process set forth in this Section 27, however, the first matter to be addressed by the arbitrator shall be the applicability of such process to such Dispute.

27.3.2 There shall be no discovery except for the exchange of documents deemed necessary by the arbitrator to an understanding and determination of the Dispute. Qwest and CLEC shall attempt, in good faith, to agree on a plan for such document discovery. Should they fail to agree, either Qwest or CLEC may request a joint meeting or conference call with the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall resolve any Disputes between Qwest and CLEC, and such

resolution with respect to the need, scope, manner, and timing of discovery shall be final and binding.

27.3.3 Arbitrator's Decision

27.3.3.1 The arbitrator's decision and award shall be in writing and shall state concisely the reasons for the award, including the arbitrator's findings of fact and conclusions of law.

27.3.3.2 An interlocutory decision and award of the arbitrator granting or denying an application for preliminary injunctive relief may be challenged in a forum of competent jurisdiction immediately, but no later than ten (10) business days after the appellant's receipt of the decision challenged. During the pendency of any such challenge, any injunction ordered by the arbitrator shall remain in effect, but the enjoined Party may make an application to the arbitrator for appropriate security for the payment of such costs and damages as may be incurred or suffered by it if it is found to have been wrongfully enjoined, if such security has not previously been ordered. If the authority of competent jurisdiction determines that it will review a decision granting or denying an application for preliminary injunctive relief, such review shall be conducted on an expedited basis.

27.3.4 To the extent that any information or materials disclosed in the course of an arbitration proceeding contain proprietary, trade secret or Confidential Information of either Party, it shall be safeguarded in accordance with Section 21 of this Agreement, or if the Parties mutually agree, such other appropriate agreement for the protection of proprietary, trade secret or Confidential Information that the Parties negotiate. However, nothing in such negotiated agreement shall be construed to prevent either Party from disclosing the other Party's information to the arbitrator in connection with or in anticipation of an arbitration proceeding, provided, however, that the Party seeking to disclose the information shall first provide fifteen (15) calendar Days notice to the disclosing Party so that that Party, with the cooperation of the other Party, may seek a protective order from the arbitrator. Except as the Parties otherwise agree, or as the arbitrator for good cause orders, the arbitration proceedings, including hearings, briefs, orders, pleadings and discovery shall not be deemed confidential and may be disclosed at the discretion of either Party, unless it is subject to being safeguarded as proprietary, trade secret or Confidential Information, in which event the procedures for disclosure of such information shall apply.

27.4 Reserved.

27.5 No Dispute, regardless of the form of action, arising out of this Agreement, may be brought by either Party more than two (2) years after the cause of action accrues.

27.6 Reserved.

27.7 In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the rules prescribed by the AAA or J.A.M.S./Endispute, this Agreement shall be controlling.

27.8 This Section does not apply to any claim, controversy or Dispute between the Parties, their agents, employees, officers, directors or affiliated agents concerning the misappropriation or use of intellectual property rights of a Party, including, but not limited to, the use of the trademark, tradename, trade dress or service xxxx of a Party.

If a Party or its parent company has assets equal to or exceeding $10,000,000,000, that Party may utilize an Affiliate captive insurance company in lieu of a "Best's" rated insurer. To the extent that the parent company of a Party is relied upon to meet the $10,000,000,000 asset threshold, such parent shall be responsible for the insurance obligations contained in this Section 31, to the extent its affiliated Party fails to meet such obligations.

31.1.1 Workers' Compensation with statutory limits as required in the state of operation and Employers' Liability insurance with limits of not less than $100,000 each accident.

31.1.2 Commercial General Liability insurance covering claims for bodily injury, death, personal injury or property damage, including coverage for independent contractor's protection (required if any work will be subcontracted), products and/or completed operations and contractual liability with respect to the liability assumed by each Party hereunder. The limits of insurance shall not be less than $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate limit.

31.1.3 "All Risk" Property coverage on a full replacement cost basis insuring all of such Party's personal property situated on or within the Premises.

Such certificates shall (1) name the other Party as an additional insured under commercial general liability coverage; (2) provide thirty (30) calendar Days prior written notice of cancellation of, material change or exclusions in the policy(s) to which certificate(s) relate; (3) indicate that coverage is primary and not excess of, or contributory with, any other valid and collectible insurance purchased by such Party; and (4) acknowledge severability of interest/cross liability coverage.

32. Communications Assistance Law Enforcement Act of 1994. Each Party represents and warrants that any equipment, facilities or services provided to the other Party under this Agreement comply with the CALEA. Each Party shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from any and all penalties imposed upon the other Party for such noncompliance and shall at the non-compliant Party's sole cost and expense, modify or replace any equipment, facilities or services provided to the other Party under this Agreement to ensure that such equipment, facilities and services fully comply with CALEA.

33. Entire Agreement.

33.1 This Agreement (including all Service Exhibits, Attachments, Rate Sheets, and other documents referred to herein) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with regard to the subjects of this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, including but not limited to, any term sheet or memorandum of understanding entered into by the Parties, to the extent they relate in any way to the subjects of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain Network Elements and services used in combination with the QPP service

provided under this Agreement are provided by Qwest to CLEC under the terms and conditions of ICAs and SGATs, where CLEC has opted into an SGAT as its ICA, and nothing contained herein is intended by the parties to amend, alter, or otherwise modify those terms and conditions.

34. Proof of Authorization.

34.1 Each Party shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining Proof of Authorization (POA), as required by applicable federal and state law, as amended from time to time.

34.2 Each Party shall make POAs available to the other Party upon request. In the event of an allegation of an unauthorized change or unauthorized service in accordance with all Applicable Laws and rules, the Party charged with the alleged infraction shall be responsible for resolving such claim, and it shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party for any losses, damages, penalties, or other claims in connection with the alleged unauthorized change or service.

35. General Terms for Network Elements

35.1 Qwest shall provide general repair and maintenance services on its facilities, including those facilities supporting Network Elements and QPP™ services purchased by CLEC under this Agreement, at a level that is consistent with other comparable services provided by Qwest.

35.2 In order to maintain and modernize the network properly, Qwest may make necessary modifications and changes to the Network Elements in its network on an as needed basis. Such changes may result in minor changes to transmission parameters. Network maintenance and modernization activities will result in Network Element transmission parameters that are within transmission limits of the Network Element ordered by CLEC. Qwest shall provide advance notice of changes that affect network Interoperability pursuant to applicable FCC rules. Changes that affect network Interoperability include changes to local dialing from seven (7) to ten (10) digit, area code splits, and new area code implementation. FCC rules are contained in CFR Part 51 and 52. Qwest provides such disclosures on an Internet web site.

Rates for Miscellaneous Charges are contained or referenced in the Rate Sheet. Unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, no additional charges will apply.

35.4 Network Security.

35.4.1 Protection of Service and Property. Each Party shall exercise the same degree of care to prevent harm or damage to the other Party and any third parties, its employees, agents or End User Customers, or their property as it employs to protect its own personnel, End User Customers and property, etc., but in no case less than a commercially reasonable degree of care.

35.4.2 Each Party is responsible to provide security and privacy of communications. This entails protecting the confidential nature of Telecommunications transmissions between End User Customers during technician work operations and at all times. Specifically, no employee, agent or representative shall monitor any circuits except as required to repair or provide service of any End User Customer at any time. Nor shall an employee, agent or representative disclose the nature of overheard conversations, or who participated in such communications or even that such communication has taken place. Violation of such security may entail state and federal criminal penalties, as well as civil penalties. CLEC is responsible for covering its employees on such security requirements and penalties.

35.4.3 The Parties' networks are part of the national security network, and as such, are protected by federal law. Deliberate sabotage or disablement of any portion of the underlying equipment used to provide the network is a violation of federal statutes with severe penalties,

especially in times of national emergency or state of war. The Parties are responsible for covering their employees on such security requirements and penalties.

35.4.4 Qwest shall not be liable for any losses, damages or other claims, including, but not limited to, uncollectible or unbillable revenues, resulting from accidental, erroneous, malicious, fraudulent or otherwise unauthorized use of services or facilities ("Unauthorized Use"), whether or not such Unauthorized Use could have been reasonably prevented by Qwest, except to the extent Qwest has been notified in advance by CLEC of the existence of such Unauthorized Use, and fails to take commercially reasonable steps to assist in stopping or preventing such activity.

35.4.4.1 Qwest shall make available to CLEC, future fraud prevention or revenue protection features with QPP on a commercially reasonable basis. Presently, QPP fraud features include, but are not limited to, screening codes, information digits "29' and "70' which indicate prison and COCOT pay phone originating line types respectively; call blocking of domestic, international, 800, 888, 900, NPA-976, 700 and 500 numbers.

35.4.4.2 If either Party becomes aware of potential fraud with respect to End User accounts, the Party shall promptly inform the other Party and, at the direction of that Party, take commercially reasonable action to mitigate the fraud where such action is possible.

35.5. Construction Charges. Qwest will provide necessary construction only to the extent required by applicable law.

35.6. Individual Case Basis Requests. CLEC may request additional Network Element or services not specified in this Agreement, and Qwest will consider such requests on an Individual Case Basis ("ICB").

36. Responsibility For Environmental Contamination

36.1 Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any costs whatsoever resulting from the presence or release of any Environmental Hazard that either Party did not introduce to the affected work location. Both Parties shall defend and hold harmless the other, its officers, directors and employees from and against any losses, damages, claims, demands, suits, liabilities, fines, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise out of or result from (i) any Environmental Hazard that the Indemnifying Party, its contractors or agents introduce to the work locations or (ii) the presence or release of any Environmental Hazard for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible under Applicable Law..

36.2 In the event any suspect materials within Qwest-owned, operated or leased facilities are identified to CLEC by Qwest to be asbestos containing, CLEC will ensure that to the extent any activities which it undertakes in the facility disturb such suspect materials, such CLEC activities will be in accordance with applicable local, state and federal environmental and health and safety statutes and regulations. Except for abatement activities undertaken by CLEC or equipment placement activities that result in the generation of asbestos-containing material, CLEC does not have any responsibility for managing, nor is it the owner of, nor does it have any liability for, or in connection with, any asbestos-containing material. Qwest agrees to immediately notify CLEC if Qwest undertakes any asbestos control or asbestos abatement activities that potentially could affect CLEC personnel, equipment or operations, including, but not limited to, contamination of equipment.

3.2: The loop element combined with a QPP™ service will be provided pursuant to CLEC's ICAs with Qwest at the rates set forth in those ICAs. To the extent that the monthly recurring rate for the loop element in a particular state is modified on or after the Effective Date, the QPP™ port rate for that state in the Rate Sheet will be adjusted (either up or down) so that the total rate applicable to the QPP™ service and loop combination in that state (after giving effect to the QPP™ Port Rate Increases as adjusted for any applicable discount pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Service Exhibit) remains constant. The corresponding adjustment will be applied against the Port Rate Increases for the applicable state negotiated as a part of this Agreement and contained in the Rate Sheet. In no event shall any downward adjustment for a particular state under this section result in QPP™ Port Rate Increase of less than $1.00, nor shall any upward adjustment for a particular state result in a QPP™ Port Rate Increase of more than twice the scheduled increase. If the monthly recurring rate for the loop is modified by a shift in zone designation the parties shall use the difference in the statewide average loop rate as the basis for such adjustment, if any. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the rates or any other terms and conditions for loops set forth in CLEC's ICAs with Qwest. For purposes of this Agreement, the Port Rate Increases refer to the increases in the Port rate reflecting market pricing on the attached Rate Sheets.

Illustration 1: If the initial loop rate is $15, the initial Port rate is $3, and the scheduled Port Rate Increase is $2 for residential and $3 for business, an increase in the loop rate of $1.50 to $16.50 will result in a corresponding reduction of the Port Rate Increase for residential to $1.00 (calculated: $2.00—$1.50, but in no event less than $1.00) and a reduction of the Port Rate Increase for business of $1.50 (calculated: $3.00—$1.50).

Illustration 2: If the initial loop rate is $15, the initial Port rate is $3, and the scheduled Port Rate Increase is $2 for residential and $3 for business, a decrease in the loop rate of $2.50 to $12.50 will result in a corresponding upward adjustment of the Port Rate Increase for residential to $4.00 (calculated: $2.00 plus $2.50, but in no event greater than 2 X $2.00) and an upward adjustment of the Port Rate Increase for business to $5.50 (calculated: $3.00 plus $2.50).

3.3: Provided that Qwest has implemented the Batch Hot Cut Process in a particular state pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amendment to CLEC's ICAs entered into contemporaneously with this Agreement, , the monthly recurring rates for the switch port in the attached Rate Sheets shall increase incrementally by the amount of the applicable QPP™ Port Rate Increase (as the same may be subsequently adjusted under Section 3.2) on January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2007. If the Batch Hot Cut Process has not been implemented in a particular state such that Qwest is not able to process Batch Hot Cuts in that state by December 31, 2004, the QPP™ Port Rate Increases for that state will not go into effect until such time as Qwest is able to process Batch Hot Cut orders in that state, and in the event of any such delay in the effective date of the QPP™ Port Rate increases, there shall be no subsequent true up of the QPP™ Port Rate Increases. If the number of CLEC's QPP™ lines as of October 31, 2005 equals or exceeds 90% of the sum of CLEC's QPP™ and UNE-P lines as of December, 31, 2004, CLEC will be entitled to a discount off of the monthly recurring switch port rate applicable during calendar year 2006 equal to 10% of the QPP™ Port Rate Increases that take effect January 1, 2006. If the number of CLEC's QPP™ lines as of October 31, 2006 equals or exceeds 90% of the sum of CLEC's QPP™ and UNE-P lines as of October, 31, 2005, CLEC will be entitled to a discount off of the monthly recurring switch port rate applicable during calendar year 2007 equal to 10% of the QPP™ Port Rate Increases that take effect January 1, 2007. For purposes of this section, the number of QPP™ lines and the sum of QPP™ service and UNE-P lines shall be calculated on a regionwide basis that includes all states in which this Agreement is in effect.
3.4: CLEC shall be responsible for Billing its End User Customers served via QPP™ for all Miscellaneous Charges and surcharges required of CLEC by statute, regulation or otherwise required.
3.5: CLEC shall pay Qwest the PIC change charge associated with CLEC End User Customer changes of InterLATA or IntraLATA Carriers. Any change in CLEC's End User Customers' InterLATA or IntraLATA Carrier must be requested by CLEC on behalf of its End User Customer.
3.6: If an End User Customer is served by CLEC through a QPP™ service, Qwest will not charge, assess, or collect Switched Access charges for InterLATA or IntraLATA calls originating or terminating from that End User Customer's phone.
3.7: Qwest shall have a reasonable amount of time to implement system or other changes necessary to xxxx XXXX for rates or charges associated with QPP™ services. Such system or other changes must be completed and operational no later than December 31, 2004.
3.8: QPP™ services have a one month minimum service period requirement for each CLEC End User Customer. The one month minimum service period is the period of time that CLEC is required to pay 100% of the monthly recurring price for the service even if CLEC does not retain service for the entire month. QPP™ services are billed month to month and shall after the one month minimum service period is satisfied be pro-rated for partial months based on the number of days service was provided.
3.9: To receive QPP™ Residential rates, CLEC must identify residential end users by working telephone number (WTN) via LSR as described in the QPP™ PCAT. Qwest will not assess a nonrecurring charge for the processing of this records order to identify the installed base of residential end users. Following submission by CLEC of such LSRs, CLEC and Qwest shall

cooperate to ensure that appropriate updates are reflected in Qwest's billing systems. QPP™ Business rates will apply to all WTNs not specifically identified as QPP™ Residential. Changes to the LSR process intended to implement the residential identifier for new orders going forward shall be implemented through the Change Management Process.

3.9.1: To receive QPP™ Residential rates with an Effective Billing Date (EBD) of January 1, 2005, CLEC must identify their existing UNE-P residential end users by working telephone number (WTN) via LSR as described in the QPP™ PCAT by April 1, 2005. On April 1, 2005, Qwest will apply QPP™ Business rates, with an EBD of January 1, 2005, to all WTNs that were in service during this period. For those WTNs identified as residential end users on or before April 1, 2005, Qwest will process a one-time credit per WTN, per month for the period of time that the WTN was in service between January 1, 2005 and April 1, 2005. This one-time credit will be processed on one Billing Account Number (BAN) per state. CLEC waives any right to past credits or discounts related to residential end users that were not so identified by April 1, 2005. After April 1, 2005, only WTNs identified as residential end users will be billed Residential rates (via the Residential End User Credit provided in the Rate Sheet).
3.10: The subsequent order charge is applicable on a per order basis when changes are requested to existing service, including changing a telephone number, initiating or removing Suspension or Service, denying or restoring service, adding, removing or changing features, and other similar requests.

4.0 Systems and Interfaces

4.1: Qwest and CLEC shall continue to support use of existing UNE-P OSS interfaces and current OSS business rules for QPP™ (including without limitation electronic ordering and flowthrough applicable to UNE-P on June 14, 2004) as the same may evolve over time.
4.2: QPP™ products and services are ordered via an LSR as described in the PCAT. Products and Services Ordering are found on the Qwest wholesale website.
4.3: Prior to placing an order on behalf of each End User Customer, CLEC shall be responsible for obtaining and have in its possession a Proof of Authorization as set forth in this Agreement.
4.4: When Qwest or another provider of choice, at the End User Customer's request, orders the discontinuance of the End User Customer's existing service with CLEC, Qwest will render its closing xxxx to CLEC effective with the disconnection. Qwest will notify CLEC by FAX, OSS interface, or other agreed upon processes when an End User Customer moves to Qwest or another service provider. Qwest shall not provide CLEC or Qwest retail personnel with the name of the other service provider selected by the End User Customer.
4.5: CLEC shall provide Qwest and Qwest shall provide CLEC with points of contact for order entry, problem resolution, repair, and in the event special attention is required on service request.

5.0 Billing

Qwest shall provide CLEC, on a monthly basis, within seven to ten (7 - 10) calendar days of the last day of the most recent Billing period, in an agreed upon standard electronic format, Billing information including (1) a summary xxxx, and (2) individual End User Customer sub-account information. To the extent CLEC needs additional or different billing information in order to properly xxxx its End Users or other Carriers (including without limitation Qwest), Qwest shall work with CLEC in good faith to deliver such information.

6.0 Maintenance and Repair

6.1: Qwest will maintain facilities and equipment that comprise the QPP™ service provided to CLEC. CLEC or its End User Customers may not rearrange, move, disconnect or attempt to repair Qwest facilities or equipment, other than by connection or disconnection to any interface between Qwest and the End User Customer, without the written consent of Qwest.
6.2: Qwest shall provide general repair and maintenance services on its facilities, including those facilities supporting QPP™ services purchased by CLEC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Qwest shall repair and restore any equipment or any other maintainable component that may adversely impact CLEC's use of QPP™ service. Qwest and CLEC shall cooperate with each other to implement procedures and processes for handling service-affecting events. There shall be no charge for the services provided under this section except as set forth in the Rate Sheet.

7.0 Performance Measures and Reporting, Performance Targets and Service Credits

7.1: Each party shall provide suitably qualified personnel to perform its obligations under this Agreement and all QPP™ services hereunder in a timely and efficient manner with diligence and care, consistent with the professional standards of practice in the industry, and in conformance with all applicable laws and regulations. The QPP™ service attributes and process enhancements are not subject to the Change Management Process ("CMP"). CLEC proposed changes to QPP™ service attributes and process enhancements will be communicated through the standard account interfaces. Change requests common to shared systems and processes subject to CMP will continue to be addressed via the CMP procedures.
7.2: Qwest will provide commercial performance measurements and reporting against established performance targets with QPP™ service. The following performance measurements will apply to QPP™ Residential and QPP™ Business: (a) Firm Order Confirmations (FOCs) On Time, (b) Installation Commitments Met, (c) Order Installation Interval, (d) Out of Service Cleared within 24 Hours, (e) Mean Time to Restore, and (f) Trouble Rate. Commercial measurement definitions, methodologies, performance targets and reporting requirements are attached as Attachment A. Qwest will provide CLEC with the raw data necessary to allow CLEC to disaggregate results at the state level.
7.3: CLEC will be entitled to service credits only for each instance of a missed installation commitment and each instance of an out of service condition that is not cleared within 24 hours as described below. All such service credits shall be applied automatically by Qwest as credit against XXXX'x xxxx for the billing period following the one in which the credits were accrued.
7.3.1: Installation Commitments Met. For each installation commitment that Qwest, through its own fault, fails to meet, Qwest will provide a service credit equal to 100% of the nonrecurring charge for that installation. The definition of a "missed installation commitment" and the associated exclusions are described in Attachment A.
7.3.2: Out of Service Cleared within 24 Hours. For each out-of-service condition that Qwest, through its own fault, fails to resolve within 24 hours, Qwest will provide a service credit equal to one day's recurring charge (monthly recurring charge divided by 30) for each day out of service beyond the first 24 hours. (For example, if the out-of-service condition exists for 25 to 47 hours, CLEC would be entitled to a credit equal to the monthly recurring charge divided by 30. If the out-of-service condition existed for 48 to 71 hours, the credit would equal two times the monthly recurring charge divided by 30). The definition of an "out of service condition" and the associated exclusions are described in Attachment A.

Performance Targets for Qwest QPP Service

FOC-1—Firm Order Confirmations (FOCs) On Time

Purpose:

Monitors the timeliness with which Qwest returns Firm Order Confirmations (FOCs) to CLECs in response to LSRs received from CLECs, focusing on the degree to which FOCs are provided within specified intervals.

Description:

Measures the percentage of Firm Order Confirmations (FOCs) that are provided to CLECs within the intervals specified under "Performance Targets" below for FOC notifications.

•

Includes all LSRs that are submitted through IMA-GUI and IMA-EDI interfaces that receive an FOC during the reporting period, subject to exclusions specified below. (Acknowledgments sent separately from an FOC (e.g., EDI 997 transactions are not included.)

•

For FOC-1A, the interval measured is the period between the LSR received date/time (based on scheduled up time) and Qwest's response with a FOC notification (notification date and time).

•

For FOC-1B, the interval measured is the period between the application date and time, as defined herein, and Qwest's response with a FOC notification (notification date and time).

•

"Fully electronic" LSRs are those (1) that are received via IMA-GUI or IMA-EDI, (2) that involve no manual intervention, and (3) for which FOCs are provided mechanically to the CLEC.

•

"Electronic/manual" LSRs are received electronically via IMA-GUI or IMA-EDI and involve manual processing.

•: LSRs will be evaluated according to the FOC interval categories shown in the "Performance Targets" section below, based on the number of lines requested on the LSR or, where multiple LSRs from the same CLEC are related, based on the combined number of lines requested on the related LSRs.

Reporting Period: One month		Unit of Measure: Percent

Reporting:	Disaggregation Reporting: Regional level.
Individual CLEC	•	FOC-1A: FOCs provided for fully electronic LSRs received via IMA-GUI or IMA-EDI
	•	FOC-1B: FOCs provided for electronic/manual LSRs received via IMA-GUI or IMA-EDI

Formula:

FOC-1A=	{[Count of LSRs for which the original FOC's "(FOC Notification Date & Time)—(LSR received date/time (based on scheduled up time))" is within 20 minutes] ÷ (Total Number of original FOC Notifications transmitted for the service category in the reporting period)} × 100
FOC-1B=	{[Count of LSRs for which the original FOC's "(FOC Notification Date & Time)—(Application Date & Time)" is within the intervals specified for the service category involved] ÷ (Total Number of original FOC Notifications transmitted for the service category in the reporting period)} × 100

Exclusions:

•: LSRs involving individual case basis (ICB) handling based on quantities of lines, as specified in the "Performance Targets" section below, or service/request types, deemed to be projects.

ICM-1—Installation Commitments Met


Purpose: Evaluates the extent to which Qwest installs services for Customers by the scheduled due date.
Description: Measures the percentage of orders for which the scheduled due date is met.
•	All inward orders (Change, New, and Transfer order types) assigned a due date by Qwest and which are completed/closed during the reporting period are measured, subject to exclusions specified below. Change order types included in this measurement consist of all C orders representing inward activity (with "I" and "T" action coded line USOCs). Also included are orders with customer-requested due dates longer than the standard interval.
	•	Completion date on or before the Applicable Due Date recorded by Qwest is counted as a met due date. The Applicable Due Date is the original due date or, if changed or delayed by the customer, the most recently revised due date, subject to the following: If Qwest changes a due date for Qwest reasons, the Applicable Due Date is the customer-initiated due date, if any, that is (a) subsequent to the original due date and (b) prior to a Qwest-initiated, changed due date, if any.

Reporting Period: One month		Unit of Measure: Percent

Reporting:	Disaggregation Reporting: Regional level.
Individual CLEC	•	Results for product/services listed in Product Reporting under "MSA Type Disaggregation" will be reported according to orders involving:
		ICM-1A Dispatches (Includes within MSA and outside MSA); and
		ICM-1B No dispatches.
	•	Results for products/services listed in Product Reporting under "Zone-type Disaggregation" will be reported according to installations:
		ICM-1C Interval Zone 1 and Interval Zone 2 areas.

Formula:
[(Total Orders completed in the reporting period on or before the Applicable Due Date) ÷ (Total Orders Completed in the Reporting Period)] × 100


Exclusions:
•		Disconnect, From (another form of disconnect) and Record order types.
•		Due dates missed for standard categories of customer and non-Qwest reasons. Standard categories of customer reasons are: previous service at the location did not have a customer-requested disconnect order issued, no access to customer premises, and customer hold for payment. Standard categories of non-Qwest reasons are: Weather, Disaster, and Work Stoppage.
•		Records involving official company services.
•		Records with invalid due dates or application dates.
•		Records with invalid completion dates.
•		Records with invalid product codes.
•		Records missing data essential to the calculation of the measurement per the measure definition.

OII-1—Order Installation Interval

Purpose:

Evaluates the timeliness of Qwest's installation of services for CLECs, focusing on the average time to install service.

Description:

Measures the average interval (in business days) between the application date and the completion date for service orders accepted and implemented.

•: Includes all inward orders (Change, New, and Transfer order types) assigned a due date by Qwest and which are completed/closed during the reporting period, subject to exclusions specified below. Change order types for additional lines consist of all C orders representing inward activity.
•: Intervals for each measured event are counted in whole days: the application date is day zero (0); the day following the application date is day one (1).
•: The Applicable Due Date is the original due date or, if changed or delayed by the CLEC, the most recently revised due date, subject to the following: If Qwest changes a due date for Qwest reasons, the Applicable Due Date is the CLEC-initiated due date, if any, that is (a) subsequent to the original due date and (b) prior to a Qwest-initiated, changed due date, if any.^{(Note 1)}
•: Time intervals associated with CLEC-initiated due date changes or delays occurring after the Applicable Due Date, as applied in the formula below, are calculated by subtracting the latest Qwest-initiated due date, if any, following the Applicable Due Date, from the subsequent CLEC-initiated due date, if any.^{NOTE 1}

Reporting Period: One month		Unit of Measure: Average Business Days

Reporting:	Disaggregation Reporting: Regional level.
Individual CLEC	•	Results for product/services listed in Product Reporting under "MSA Type Disaggregation" will be reported according to orders involving:
		OII-1A Dispatches (Includes within MSA and outside MSA); and
		OII-1B No dispatches.
	•	Results for products/services listed in Product Reporting under "Zone-type
		Disaggregation" will be reported according to installations:
		OII-1C Interval Zone 1 and Interval Zone 2 areas.

Formula:

S[(Order Completion Date)—(Order Application Date)—(Time interval between the Original Due Date and the Applicable Date)—(Time intervals associated with CLEC-initiated due date changes or delays occurring after the Applicable Due Date)] ÷ Total Number of Orders Completed in the reporting period

Explanation: The average installation interval is derived by dividing the sum of installation intervals for all orders (in business days) by total number of service orders completed in the reporting period.

Exclusions:

•: Orders with CLEC requested due dates greater than the current standard interval.
•: Disconnect, From (another form of disconnect) and Record order types.
•: Records involving official company services.
•: Records with invalid due dates or application dates.
•: Records with invalid completion dates.
•: Records with invalid product codes.
•: Records missing data essential to the calculation of the measurement per the measure definition.
•: Orders involving individual case basis (ICB) handling based on quantities of lines or orders deemed to be projects.

Product Reporting: MSA-Type— QPP-POTS		Reported As: Average business days
Zone-Type—
Performance Target:
QPP-POTS (Dispatched)		6 Days
QPP-POTS (No Dispatch)		3.5 Days

Availability:		Notes:
Performance can be measured beginning in August 2004 (to be reflected on September 2004 reporting) or the first full month of QPP service (for the following month's reporting), whichever is later.		1.		According to this definition, the Applicable Due Date can change, per successive CLEC-initiated due date changes or delays, up to the point when a Qwest-initiated due date change occurs. At that point, the Applicable Due Date becomes fixed (i.e., with no further changes) as the date on which it was set prior to the first Qwest-initiated due date change, if any. Following the first Qwest-initiated due date change, any further CLEC-initiated due date changes or delays are measured as time intervals that are subtracted as indicated in the formula. These delay time intervals are calculated as stated in the description. (Though infrequent, in cases where multiple Qwest-initiated due date changes occur, the stated method for calculating delay intervals is applied to each pair of Qwest-initiated due date change and subsequent CLEC-initiated due date change or delay. The intervals thus calculated from each pairing of Qwest and CLEC-initiated due dates are summed and then subtracted as indicated in the formula.) The result of this approach is that Qwest-initiated impacts on intervals are counted in the reported interval, and CLEC-initiated impacts on intervals are not counted in the reported interval.

OOS24-1—Out of Service Cleared within 24 Hours

Purpose:

Evaluates timeliness of repair for specified services, focusing on trouble reports where the out-of-service trouble reports were cleared within the standard estimate for specified services (i.e., 24 hours for out-of-service conditions).

Description:

Measures the percentage of out of service trouble reports, involving specified services, that are cleared within 24 hours of receipt of trouble reports from CLECs or from retail customers.

•: Includes all trouble reports, closed during the reporting period, which involve a specified service that is out-of-service (i.e., unable to place or receive calls), subject to exclusions specified below.

(1) Monthly Recurring credit applies to QPP™ Residential Services as set forth in Service Exhibit 1 to this Agreement.

(2) QPP™ service includes nondiscriminatory access to all vertical switch features that are loaded in Qwest’s End Office Switch. See the PCAT for all compatible and available vertical switch features. Only vertical switch features with Non-Recurring, Recurring, or Per Occurrence charges are listed. Non-Recurring charges are applicable whenever a feature is added - whether on new installation, conversion, or change order activity. Those vertical switch features not listed have a rate of $0 for Monthly Recurring, Non-Recurring, or Per Occurrence charges.

(3) USOCs have been provided in an effort to ease item description and USOC association with charges. In the event USOCs are inaccurate or are revised, Qwest reserves the right to correct the Rate Sheet.

(4) The Subsequent Order Charge is applicable on a per order basis when changes are requested to existing service, including changing a telephone number, initiating or removing Suspension or Service, denying or restoring service, adding, removing, or changing features, and other similar requests.

(5) QPP™ ISDN BRI and PBX are “Design”. Remaining QPP™ services are “Non-Design”.

(6) All charges and increments shall be the same as the comparable charges and increments in each state SGAT.

(7) Qwest and MCI agree to negotiate a charge in good faith. The Parties agree that the charges are intended to allow Qwest to recover its relevant costs and will be an approved charge. The charge MCI and Qwest have agreed upon will be binding to all CLECs.

(8) Where the service has been deemed to be a Telecommunications Service, the Discount will be provided pursuant to CLEC’s ICA. Where the service is not a Telecommunications Service, the discount will be 18%.
