EXHIBIT 10.35.2
FOURTH AMENDMENT
TO
INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN
DELTACOM, INC. AND
BELLSOUTH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC.
DATED MARCH 12, 1997
Pursuant to this Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment"), DeltaCom, Inc.
("DeltaCom") and BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. ("BellSouth"), hereinafter
referred to collectively as the "Parties", hereby agree to further amend that
certain Interconnection Agreement, as heretofore amended, between the Parties
dated March 12, 1997 ("Interconnection Agreement").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual provisions contained herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, DeltaCom and BellSouth hereby covenant and agree as
follows:
1. The Parties agree to delete in its entirety Section VIII(B) of the
Interconnection Agreement and substitute the following Section VIII(B).
For originating and terminating interexchange toll traffic, each Party
shall pay the other Party's tariffed switched network access service
rate elements on a per minute of use basis. Said rate elements shall
be as set out in the Parties' respective access services tariffs as
those tariffs are amended from time to time during the term of this
Agreement. The appropriate charges will be determined by the routing
of the call. If DeltaCom is the BellSouth end user's presubscribed
interexchange carrier or if the BellSouth end user uses DeltaCom as an
interexchange carrier on a 10XXX basis, BellSouth will charge DeltaCom
the appropriate tariff charges for originating network access
services. If BellSouth is serving as the DeltaCom end user's
presubscribed interexchange carrier or if the DeltaCom end user uses
BellSouth as an interexchange carrier on a 10XXX basis, DeltaCom will
charge BellSouth the appropriate BellSouth tariff charges for
originating network access services. However, in states where
DeltaCom has an effective access services tariff, the Parties agree
that DeltaCom will charge BellSouth the appropriate DeltaCom tariff
charges for originating network access services.

2. Except for Operator Provided Call Handling service provided by
BellSouth in Alabama, Georgia and Kentucky, the Parties agree to amend
Attachment C-10 of the Interconnection Agreement to include a rate of $1.17 per
work minute for Operator Provided Call Handling.
3. The Parties agree to delete in its entirety Section VI(B) of the
Interconnection Agreement and substitute the following Section VI(B):
With the exception of the local traffic specifically identified in
subsection (C) hereafter, each party agrees to terminate local traffic
originated and routed to it by the other party. Each Party will pay
the other for terminating its local traffic on the other's network the
local interconnection rate of $.009 per minute of use in all states.
Each Party will report to the other a Percent Local Usage ("PLU") and
the application of the PLU will determine the amount of local minutes
to be billed to the other party. Until such time as actual usage data
is available, the parties agree to utilize a mutually acceptable
surrogate for the PLU factor. For purposes of developing the PLU,
each party shall consider every local call and every long distance
call. Effective on the first of January, April, July and October of
each year, the parties shall update their PLU.
4. The Parties agree to delete in its entirety Section VI(C) of the
Interconnection Agreement and substitute the following Section VI(C):
If either party provides intermediary tandem switching and transport
services for the other party's connection of its end user to a local
end user of: (1) a CLEC other than DeltaCom; (2) an ILEC other than
BellSouth; or (3) another telecommunications company such as a
wireless telecommunications service provider, the party performing the
intermediary function will xxxx a $0.0015 per minute charge. However,
BellSouth agrees that DeltaCom may cross-connect directly to such
third Parties at the POI. In such an event, tariffed cross-connection
non-recurring charges will apply, and no transiting charge will apply.
5. Except for Number Services Intercept Access Service provided by
BellSouth in the state of Georgia, the Parties agree to amend Attachment C-11 of
the Interconnection Agreement to delete the rate of $0.30 per intercept query
and replace said rate with a rate of $0.25 per intercept query.
6. The Parties agree to amend the Interconnection Agreement to include
Attachment 1 to this Amendment and incorporated herein by this reference.
7. Amendment 1 to the Interconnection Agreement relating to resale,
executed on March 12, 1997, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with
Attachment 2, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
Page 2
8. The Parties agree that all of the other provisions of the
Interconnection Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
9. The Parties further agree that either or both of the Parties is
authorized to submit this Amendment to the appropriate state public service
commission or other regulatory body having jurisdiction over the subject matter
of this Amendment, for approval subject to Section 252(e) of the federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Unbundled Products and Services and New Services
Service: Unbundled Exchange Ports
Description: An exchange port is the capability derived from the central office
switch hardware and software required to permit end users to
transmit or receive information over BellSouth's public switched
network. It provides service enabling and network features and
functionality such as translations, a telephone number, switching,
announcements, supervision and touch-tone capability.
In addition, a BellSouth provided port with outgoing network access
also provides access to other services such as operator services,
long distance service, etc. It may also be combined with other
services available in BellSouth's Intrastate Access Service Tariffs
as technically feasible.
When an Unbundled Port is connected to BellSouth provided
collocated loops, cross-connection rate elements are required as
set forth in Section 20 of BellSouth Telecommunication's, Inc.'s
Interstate Access Tariff, FCC No. 1.

deemed necessary, for maintenance purposes.
VI. Establishment of Service
A. After receiving certification as a local exchange company from the
appropriate regulatory agency, Reseller will provide the appropriate
Company service center the necessary documentation to enable the Company to
establish a master account for Reseller. Such documentation shall include
the Application for Master Account, proof of authority to provide
telecommunications services, an Operating Company Number ("OCN") assigned
by the National Exchange Carriers Association ("NECA") and a tax exemption
certificate, if applicable. When necessary deposit requirements are met,
the Company will begin taking orders for the resale of service.
B. Service orders will be in a standard format designated by the
Company.
C. When notification is received from Reseller that a current customer
of the Company will subscribe to Reseller's service, standard service
order intervals for the appropriate class of service will apply.

establishing service for Reseller's end user customer. Reseller must,
however, be able to demonstrate end user authorization upon request.

subsequent ordering activity resulting in additions or changes to resold
services except that the Company will accept a request directly from the
end user for conversion of the end user's service from Reseller to the
Company or will accept a request from
ATTACHMENT
another OLEC for conversion of the end user's service from the Reseller to
the other LEC. The Company will notify Reseller that such a request has
been processed.
F. If the Company determines that an unauthorized change in local service
to Reseller has occurred, the Company will reestablish service with the
appropriate local service provider and will assess Reseller as the OLEC
initiating the unauthorized change, the unauthorized change charge
described in F.C.C. Tariff No. 1, Section 13. Appropriate nonrecurring
charges, as set forth in Section A4, of the General Subscriber Service
Tariff, will also be assessed to Reseller. These charges can be adjusted if
Reseller provides satisfactory proof of authorization.
G. The Company may, in order to safeguard its interest, require Reseller
to make a deposit to be held by the Company as a guarantee of the payment
of rates and charges, unless satisfactory credit has already been
established. Any such deposit may be held during the continuance of the
service as security for the payment of any and all amounts accruing for the
service.
H. Such deposit may not exceed two months' estimated billing.
I. The fact that a deposit has been made in no way relieves Reseller from
complying with the Company's regulations as to advance payments and the
prompt payment of bills on presentation nor does it constitute a waiver or
modification of the regular practices of the Company providing for the
discontinuance of service for non-payment of any sums due the Company.
J. The Company reserves the right to increase the deposit requirements
when, in its sole judgment, the conditions justify such action.
K. In the event that Reseller defaults on its account, service to

account.

establish an accounts receivable master account for Reseller.
B. The Company shall xxxx Reseller on a current basis all applicable
charges and credits.
C. Payment of all charges will be the responsibility of Reseller.
Reseller shall make payment to the Company for all services billed. The

receivable master account and not to an end user's account.
ATTACHMENT
D. The Company will render bills each month on established xxxx days for
each of Reseller's accounts.
E. The Company will xxxx Reseller, in advance, charges for all services to be
provided during the ensuing billing period except charges associated with
service usage, which charges will be billed in arrears. Charges will be
calculated on an individual end user account level, including, if applicable,
any charges for usage or usage allowances. BellSouth will also xxxx any charges,
including but not limited to 911 and E911 charges, telecommunications relay
charges, and franchise fees, to Reseller.
F. The payment will be due by the next xxxx date (i.e., same date in the
following month as the xxxx date) and is payable immediately available funds.
Payment is considered to have been made when received by the Company.
If the payment due date falls on a Sunday or on a Holiday which is
observed on a Monday, the payment due date shall be the first non-Holiday day
following such Sunday or Holiday. If the payment due date falls on a Saturday or
on a Holiday which is observed on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, the
payment due date shall be the last non-Holiday day preceding such Saturday or
Holiday. If payment is not received by the payment due date, a late payment
penalty, as set forth in I, following, shall apply.
G. Upon proof of tax exempt certification from Reseller, the total amount
billed to Reseller will not include any taxes due from the end user. Reseller
will be solely responsible for the computation, tracking, reporting and payment
of all federal, state and/or local jurisdiction taxes associated with the
services resold to the end user.
H. As the customer of record, Reseller will be responsible for, and remit to
the Company, all charges applicable to its resold services for emergency
services (E911 and 911) and Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) as well as
any other charges of a similar nature.
I. If any portion of the payment is received by the Company after the payment
due date as set forth preceding, or if any portion of the payment is received by
the Company in funds that are not immediately available to the Company, then a
late payment penalty shall be due to the Company. The late payment penalty shall
be the portion of the payment not received by the payment due date times a late
factor. The late factor shall be set forth in Section A2 of the General
Subscriber Service Tariff and Section B2 of the Private Line Service Tariff.
J. Any switched access charges associated with interexchange carrier to the
resold local exchange lines will be billed by, and due to, the Company. No
additional charges are to be assessed to Reseller.

as a result of the execution of this Agreement. All requests for billing
services should be referred to the appropriate entity or operational group
within the Company.
L. Pursuant to 47 CFR Section 51.617, the Company will xxxx Reseller end
user common line charges identical to the end user common line charges the
Company bills its end users.
M. In general, the Company will not become involved in disputes between
Reseller and Reseller's end user customers over resold services. If a dispute
does arise that cannot be settled without the involvement of the Company,
Reseller shall contact the designated Service Center for resolution. The Company
will make every
ATTACHMENT
effort to assist in the resolution of the dispute and will work with
Reseller to resolve the matter in as timely a manner as possible. Reseller
may be required to submit documentation to substantiate the claim.
VIII. Discontinuance of Service
A. The procedures for discontinuing service to an end user are as
follows:
1. Where possible, the Company will deny service to Reseller's end

of the end user's service, restoral charges will apply and will be
the responsibility of Reseller.
2. At the request of Reseller, the Company will disconnect a
Reseller end user customer.
3. All requests by Reseller for denial or disconnection of an end

4. Reseller will be made solely responsible for notifying the end
user of the proposed disconnection of the service.
5. The Company will continue to process calls made to the
Annoyance Call Center and will advise Reseller when it is determined
that annoyance calls are originated from one of their end user's
locations. The Company shall be indemnified, defended and held
harmless by Reseller and/or the end user against any claim, loss or
damage arising from providing this information to Reseller. It is the
responsibility of Reseller to take the corrective action necessary
with its customers who make annoying calls. Failure to do so will
result in the Company's disconnecting the end user's service.
B. The procedures for disconnecting service to Reseller are as follows:
1. The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate service
for nonpayment or in the event of prohibited, unlawful or improper
use of the facilities or service, abuse of the facilities, or any
other violation or noncompliance by Reseller of the rules and
regulations of the Company's Tariffs.
2. If payment of account is not received by the xxxx xxx in the
month after the original xxxx xxx, the Company may provide written
notice to Reseller, that additional applications for service will be
refused and that any pending orders for service will not be completed
if payment is not received by the fifteenth day following the date of
the notice. If the Company does not refuse additional applications
for service on the date specified in the notice, and Reseller's
noncompliance continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude the
Company's right to refuse additional applications for service without
further notice.
3. If payment of account is not received, or arrangements made, by
the xxxx xxx in the second consecutive month, the account will be

Agreement, including any payments to be made by it on the dates and
times herein specified, the Company may, on thirty days written
notice to the person designated by Reseller to receive notices of
noncompliance, discontinue the provision of existing
ATTACHMENT 2
services to Reseller at any time thereafter. In the case of such
discontinuance, all billed charges, as well as applicable
termination charges, shall become due. If the Company does not
discontinue the provision of the services involved on the date
specified in the thirty days notice, and Reseller's noncompliance
continues, nothing contained herein shall preclude the Company's
right to discontinue the provision of the services to Reseller
without further notice.
5. If payment is not received or arrangements made for payment by
the date given in the written notification, Reseller's services
will be discontinued. Upon discontinuance of service on a
Reseller's account, service to Reseller's end users will be denied.
The Company will also reestablish service at the request of the end
user or Reseller upon payment of the appropriate connection fee and
subject to the Company's normal application procedures. Reseller is
solely responsible for notifying the end user of the proposed
disconnection of the service.
6. If within fifteen days after an end user's service has been
denied no contact has been made in reference to restoring service,
the end user's service will be disconnected.

defect in transmission or injury occurs), or (2) not prevented by customer-

or judicial review, BellSouth shall be deemed to have offered such
arrangements to Reseller upon such Other Terms, in their entirety, which
Reseller may only accept in their entirety, as provided in Section XVI.E.

Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee any of the

Additional Comments:
1 Grandfathered services can be resold only to existing subscribers of the
grandfathered service.
2 Where available for resale, promotions will be made available only to end
users who would have qualified for the promotion had it been provided by
BellSouth directly.
3 Lifeline/Link Up services may be offered only to those subscribers who meet
the criteria that BellSouth currently applies to subscribers of these
services. In Tennessee, Reseller shall purchase BellSouth's Message Rate
Service at the stated tariff rate, less the wholesale discount. Reseller must
further discount the wholesale Message Rate Service to LifeLine customers
with a discount which is no less than the minimum discount that BellSouth now
provides. Reseller is responsible for recovering the Subscriber Line Charge
from the National Exchange Carriers Association interstate toll settlement
pool just as Xxxx South does today.
4 In Louisiana and Mississippi, all Contract Service Arrangements entered into
by BellSouth or terminating after the effective date of the Commission Order
will be subject to resale without the wholesale discount. All CSAs which are
in place as of the effective date of the Commission order will not be
eligible for resale.
5 In North Carolina, only those Contract Service Arrangements entered into after
April 15, 1997 will be available for resale.
