After the customer has established satisfactory credit through prompt payment habits over generally a nine to twelve month period of time the Company will refund the deposit with interest or credit it to the customer's account.
B. Advance Payments
1. In accordance with the Company's practice of requiring that all regularly recurring rates for services, equipment, and facilities be paid monthly in advance, an applicant for service will be required to pay in advance at the time application for service is made, the service and equipment and installation charges applicable, together with at least one month's charges for the services, equipment, and facilities applied for, and, where necessary, in the opinion of the Company, the estimated amount of construction charges.

TERMINATION LIABILITY/WAIVER POLICY
All Private Line Transport Services provided via service agreements, are subject to the Termination Liability/Waiver Policy, unless otherwise specified.
A. Minimum Billing Level
When services are provided under a fixed-period service agreement, a Minimum Billing Level will be established for use in calculating discontinuance charges. The Minimum Billing Level is 100% of the total monthly rates for the service provided under the customer's service agreement, unless otherwise specified. Partial discontinuance of service will not decrease the Minimum Billing Level.
B. Minimum Service Period
When services are provided under a service agreement, a Minimum Service Period may be established. This would be the period of time that the 100% factor of the Termination Liability Charge would apply.
C. Complete Disconnect
If the customer chooses to completely discontinue contracted service, at any time during the term of the agreement, a termination charge will apply, unless the customer satisfies the conditions specified in the Waiver Policy. The termination charge is 100% of the rates for the Minimum Service Period, if applicable, plus the Minimum Billing Level multiplied by the termination liability percentage specified in the service agreement, for the remaining term of the agreement.
· For example, if the customer discontinues service after 17 months of a 3-year (36 month) agreement, the termination charge will be the Minimum Billing Level for the service multiplied by the termination liability percentage, multiplied by 19 months.
· If the customer discontinues service after 6 months of a 3-year (36 month) agreement, with a 1-year (12 months) Minimum Service Period, the Termination Charge will be 100% of the Minimum Billing Level for the remaining 6 months of the Minimum Service Period, plus the Minimum Billing Level multiplied by the termination liability percentage, multiplied by 24 months.

Service rearrangements are changes to existing (installed) services which do not result in either a change in the minimum billing period requirements or a change in the physical location of the Network Access Channel at a customer designated premises. The charge to the customer for the service rearrangement is dependent on whether the change is administrative only in nature or involves actual physical change to the service. Changes which result in the establishment of new minimum billing period obligations are treated as disconnects and new connects. Changes in the physical location of the Network Access Channel are treated as moves and are described in H., following.
Service rearrangements will be charged for as follows and the appropriate Service Provisioning Charge will apply in addition:
· If the change involves the addition of another leg to an existing service, the nonrecurring charge for the Channel Performance will apply. The charge will apply only for the leg that is being added.
· If the change involves the addition of an Optional Feature or Function which has a separate nonrecurring charge, that nonrecurring charge will apply.
· If the change involves changing the type of Channel Performance on a service, the Channel Performance nonrecurring charge will apply.
· If the change involves the changing of the type of service (e.g., a change from VG2 to VG3), it will be treated as a discontinuance of the existing service and the installation of a new service.

· Change of customer or customer's end user premises address when the change of address is not a result of a physical relocation of facilities,
· Change in billing data (name, address, or contact name or telephone number),
· Change of customer contact name or telephone number.
H. Moves
A move involves a change in the physical location of one of the following:
· The Point of Termination at the customer's designated premises

3.3 MINIMUM BILLING PERIOD AND FRACTIONAL RATES
A. Rates for service offered under this Price List are for a minimum billing period of one month or the length of time specified in a Custom Service Arrangement, an Alternate Pricing Arrangement or in specific service agreements.
B. When the minimum billing period has been met, charges for a fraction of a month will be the monthly rate, prorated for the actual number of days service is furnished. For this purpose every month is considered to have 30 days.
C. Fractions of a cent are carried throughout the computation of the charge. When the computed charge includes a fraction of a cent;
· One-half cent or more is treated as one cent; · Less than one-half cent is disregarded
D. The rates for service installed or changes in service which involve a change in rates will become effective on the day the service is installed or changed.
3.4 MILEAGE MEASUREMENT
The mileage to be used to determine the monthly rate for the Transport Mileage is calculated using the airline distance between wire centers. The serving wire center associated with a customer designated premises is the serving wire center from which the customer designated premises would normally obtain dial tone.
Transport Mileage is shown in terms of mileage bands. To determine the rate to be billed, first compute the mileage using the V&H coordinates method, as set forth in the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C. No. 4, then find the band into which the computed mileage falls and apply the rates shown for that band. When the calculation results in a fraction of a mile, always round up to the next whole mile before determining the mileage band and applying the rates.
When bridging locations are involved, mileage is computed and rates applied separately for each section of the Transport Mileage. When any service is routed through a wire center for purposes other than customer specified bridging (e.g., the Company chooses to so route for test access purposes), rates will be applied only to the distance calculated between the serving wire centers associated with the customer designated premises.

C. The Critical Dates monitored by the Company for the purpose of calculating a Cancellation Charge are as follows:
· Application Date (APP): The date the customer provides a firm commitment and sufficient information to the Company for order placement. The APP Date is the date the Company enters the order into the Company's order distribution system(s). This is sometimes referred to as the order date.
· Design Layout Report Date (DLRD): The date the Design Layout Report which contains the design for the service(s) ordered is forwarded to the customer.
· Plant Test Date (PTD): The date acceptance testing is performed with the customer.
· Service Date (DD): The date the service is due to be made available to the customer. This is sometimes referred to as the Due Date.
D. The percentage of the total provisioning cost incurred by the Company at a particular Critical Date varies by the type of service as shown in E., following.
When a customer cancels an order, or part of an order, before the Service Date, the Company will calculate the Cancellation Charge by multiplying all the nonrecurring charges associated with the order, or that part of the order being cancelled, by the percentage shown in E., following, based on the last monitored Critical Date which has occurred on the order. When a customer cancels an order, or part of an order, on or after the Service Date, 100% of the nonrecurring charges plus minimum billing period charges apply.
Nonrecurring charges associated with an order are used to calculate the Cancellation Charge even when nonrecurring charges are waived.
Analog Service orders where the Network Access Channel recurring rate element is not billed, will be assessed a Cancellation Charge based on the equivalent of one Channel Performance nonrecurring charge for the service.
Digital Data Service orders where the Network Access Channel recurring rate element is not billed, will be assessed a Cancellation Charge based on the equivalent of one Channel Performance nonrecurring charge for the service.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE PRIORITY (TSP) SYSTEM
A. Description
Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) is a regulatory, administrative, and operational system developed by the Federal Government to ensure priority provisioning and/or restoration of National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) telecommunications services. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defines NSEP telecommunications services as those services which are used to maintain a state of readiness or to respond to and manage any event or crisis, which causes or could cause harm to the population, damage to or loss of property, or degrades or threatens the NSEP posture of the United States.
Under the rules of the TSP System, telephone companies are authorized and required to provision and/or restore services with TSP assignments before services without such assignments.
Priority installation and/or restoration of NSEP telecommunications services shall be provided in accordance with Part 64.401, Appendix A, of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) Rules and Regulations.
In addition, TSP System service shall be provided in accordance with the guidelines set forth in "Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) System for National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) Service Vendor Handbook", (National Communications System (NCS) Handbook 3-1-2) dated December 1, 1989.

C. Terms and Conditions
1. The TSP System's applicability is limited to telecommunication services which the Company can discreetly identify for priority provisioning and/or restoration.
2. The customer subscribing to TSP System Service must also be the customer subscribing to the service with which TSP is associated.
3. Under certain conditions, it may be necessary to preempt one or more customer services with a lower or no restoration priority in order to install or restore higher priority NSEP telecommunications service(s). If such preemption is necessary, and if circumstances permit, the Company will make reasonable effort to notify the preempted customer of the action to be taken. Credit allowance for such service preemption shall be made, in accordance with the provisions specified elsewhere.
4. In obtaining TSP System service, the customer acknowledges and consents to the company providing customer service record information to the Federal Government in order for the Government to maintain and administer its overall TSP System. This customer service record information will include TSP Authorization Code, Company Circuit/Service ID, customer telephone number and service location.
5. Credit allowance for service interruption for Priority Restoration Maintenance and Administration shall be the same as for the service with which it is associated as specified elsewhere.
6. When performing a service under TSP, the Company may not be in a position to notify the customer in advance of circumstances which require additional labor and for which additional labor charges apply. The TSP subscriber recognizes that quoting charges and obtaining permission to proceed would cause unnecessary delays that would be contrary to the objectives of the TSP System. In subscribing to the TSP system the customer recognizes this condition and grants the Company the right to quote charges after work has been completed.
7. Other terms and conditions, rates and charges for services such as expedited service, special construction, due date change, Maintenance of Service, etc., may apply as specified elsewhere when provided in conjunction with the TSP System.

3. Because of the customer's need for service continuity during power system faults on some types of telecommunications services provided to power stations, the following system of Service Performance Objective Classifications has been established for the purpose of permitting the customer to specify the performance objectives for most types of telecommunications services provided to power stations.
a. Class A
Non-interruptible service performance (must function before, during and after the power fault condition) for services requiring ac transmission only. Class A service cannot tolerate even a momentary service interruption. Non-tolerable service interruptions include both loss of dependability (failure to deliver a valid trip or control signal) and loss of security (delivery of a false trip or control signal).
b. Class B
Self-restoring interruptible service performance (must function before and after the power fault condition) for any service. Class B service can tolerate a service interruption for the duration of a power system fault but service continuity must be restored immediately after the fault without requiring any repair personnel activity.
c. Class C
(Normal service, does not require high voltage protection) Interruptible service performance (can tolerate a station visit to restore service) for power stations with a GPR less than 1000V peak-asymmetrical. Class C service can tolerate a service interruption which requires a station visit by repair personnel to restore service. Class C service cannot be provided in conjunction with Class A or Class B service.

5.1.2 RATE CATEGORIES
There are four basic rate categories which apply to Private Line Transport:
· Network Access Channel · Channel Performance · Transport Mileage · Optional Features and Functions
A. Network Access Channel
The Network Access Channel provides a two-wire or four-wire communications path between the POT and the normal serving wire center of that premises. One Network Access Channel charge applies per channel terminated at the POT. This charge will apply even if the customer designated premises and the serving wire center are colocated in the same building. On certain services the Network Access Channel may be derived from an existing service.
B. Channel Performance
The Channel Performance provides the electronic equipment which is added to the Network Access Channel to provide the desired level of transmission performance. It modifies the circuit with the basic performance necessary for the circuit to function. If appropriate, it may also provide various signaling parameters to enhance the basic performance. Included as part of the Channel Performance is a Network Channel Interface (NCI) or POT arrangement which defines the technical characteristics at the interface between the customer and the Company. One Channel Performance charge will apply per Network Access Channel.

D. Optional Features and Functions
The Optional Features and Functions rate category provides for optional features and functions which may be added to Private Line Transport to improve its quality or utility to meet specific communications requirements. These are not necessarily identifiable with specific equipment, but rather represent the end result in terms of performance characteristics which may be obtained. These characteristics may be obtained by using various combinations of equipment. Although the equipment necessary to perform a specified function may be installed at various locations along the path of the service, they will be charged for as a single rate element.
Examples of Optional Features and Functions that are available include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Hubbing Functions · Bridging · Conditioning · Secondary Channel
A hub is a Company designated serving wire center at which bridging functions are performed. The bridging functions performed are to connect three or more customer designated premises in a multipoint arrangement. National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C. No. 4 identifies serving wire centers, hub locations and the type of bridging.
Standard offerings are available within each category of service. If a Standard offering does not meet a particular customer requirement, the customer may request and the Company may develop a Custom offering. The Channel Performance and/or Optional Features and Functions for customer services will be developed and rated on an individual case basis.

As an alternative to month-to-month price listed rates, qualifying customers may elect a rate stabilized or discounted pricing arrangement. Rate stability allows eligible customers to have rate predictability for specified periods of time. Discounting allows eligible customers to realize some savings due to their larger volume of services and their long term commitment to that volume of services.
Each customer will be required to sign a contractual agreement for the furnishing of services on a rate stabilized or discounted pricing basis.
A. Rate Stability Terms and Conditions
1. Both Analog Private Line Transport Service and Digital Data Service are eligible for rate stability consideration.
2. The rate stabilized price is the price list rates in effect at the time the agreement is signed by the customer.
3. The minimum contract value for Analog Private Line Transport Services is one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per month.
4. No minimum contract value is required for Digital Data Service.
5. The only rate elements eligible for rate stabilization are: Network Access Channels, Channel Performance, Transport Mileage, and Private Line Transport Optional Features and Functions. These rate elements are the only ones to be used in the revenue calculation for determining eligibility.
6. In addition to satisfying the minimum eligibility requirements, the rate stabilized price must be above cost.
7. The nonrecurring charges, for circuit(s) installed under a rate stability plan, are not included under the contract and are those specified in the current Price List.

5. Facility Hubs
A customer has the option of ordering digital facilities (e.g., DS1) to a facility hub for channelizing to individual services requiring lower capacity facilities (e.g., Voice Grade, Audio, etc.) where facilities available.
Different locations may be designed as hubs for different facility capacities, e.g., multiplexing from digital to digital may occur at one location while multiplexing from digital to analog may occur at a different location. When ordering, the customer will specify the desired multiplexing hub(s) selected from the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C. No. 4. This tariff identifies the type(s) of multiplexing functions which are available and the serving wire centers at which they are available.
Some of the types of multiplexing available include the following:
· From higher to lower bit rate
· From digital to voice frequency channels
End-to-end services may be provided on channels of these facilities to a hub. The transmission performance for the end-to-end service provided between the customer designated premises will be that of the lower capacity or bit rate. For example, when a 1.544 Mbps facility is multiplexed to voice frequency channels, the transmission performance of the channelized services will be voice grade, not DS1.
The Company will commence billing the monthly rate for the facility to the hub on the service due date specified by the customer on the service order. Individual services utilizing these facilities may be installed coincident with the installation of the facility to the hub, or may be ordered and/or installed at a later date, at the option of the customer. The customer will be billed for the appropriate Network Access Channel, Transport Mileage (when applicable), and the multiplexer at the time the DS1 facility is installed. Individual service rates (by service type) will apply for a Network Access Channel, Channel Performance and additional Transport Mileage (as required) for each channelized service. These will be billed to the customer as each individual service is installed.

C.5. (Cont'd)
Cascading multiplexing occurs when a digital channel is de-multiplexed to provide channels with a lesser capacity and one of the lesser capacity channels is further de-multiplexed. For example, a DS1 facility is de-multiplexed to twentythree DSO facilities and then one of the DSO facilities is further de-multiplexed to subrate (e.g., ten 4.8 kbps).
When cascading multiplexing is performed whether in the same or a different hub, a charge for the additional multiplexing unit also applies. When cascading multiplexing is performed at different hubbing locations. Transport Mileage charges also apply between the hubs.
6. Shared Use
Shared use occurs when Private Line Transport Service and Switched Access Service are provided over the same DS1 facilities through a common interface. The facility will be ordered, provided and rated as Private Line Transport Service. The nonrecurring charge that applies when the Shared Use Facility is installed will be the nonrecurring charge associated with the appropriate Private Line Transport, DS1 Channel. Rating as Private Line Transport will continue until such time as the customer chooses to use a portion of the available capacity for providing Switched Access Service. As each individual channel is activated for Switched Access Service, the Private Line Transport rates will be reduced accordingly (e.g., 1/24th for a DS1 service, etc.). The customer must place an order for each individual Switched Access or Private Line Transport Service utilizing the Shared Use Facilities and specify the channel assignment for each such service.
Switched Access Service rates and charges will apply for each channel of the Shared Use Facility that is used to provide Switched Access Service. Where Private Line Transport Service is provided utilizing a channel of the Shared Use Facility to the hub, DS1 rates and charges will apply for the facility to the hub and individual service rates and charges will apply from the hub to the customer designated premises. The rates and charges that will apply to the portion from the hub to the customer designated premises will be dependent on the specific type of Private Line Transport Service that is provided (e.g., Voice Grade, etc.).

c. Clear Channel Capability
An arrangement that allows a customer to transport 1.536 information rate signals through a 1.544 Mbps line rate with no constraint on the quantity or sequence of ones (mark) and zero (space) bits.
(1) Basic Option
This option requires the customer signal at the channel interface to conform to either the bipolar AMI line code with Zero Byte Time Slot Interchange (ZBTSI) algorithm or the Bipolar with Eight Zero Substitution (B8ZS) as described in Technical Reference PUB 77323. If the channel interface conforms to the B8ZS line code algorithm, it may be transcoded to ZBTSI for transmission through the network.
(2) B8ZS Option
This option requires the customer signal at the channel interface to conform to the Bipolar with Eight Zero Substitution (B8ZS) line code algorithm as described in Technical Reference PUB 77323. This option allows B8ZS line code transmission through the network without being transcoded.
8. Allowance For Interruptions
Allowance for Interruption will be provided for as specified in the DS1 Service Agreement under Out-of-Service Credit.
9. Mileage Measurements
The mileage for the Transport Mileage element is the airline distance measured between the serving wire centers as determined in the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C. No. 4.

6.1 DESCRIPTION
When a customer's intrastate Private Line Transport or Foreign Exchange Service is extended into unassigned territory, that service location is termed a Private Line Pricing Point. This location shall be considered a wire center for the purpose of determining airline mileages between two wire centers.
Mileage measurement, for wire centers within the Company's territory, is done via the V and H Coordinates Method, as set forth in the National Exchange Carrier Association Tariff F.C.C. No. 4.

Market Area
2. For the purpose of determining airline mileages, vertical and horizontal grid lines have been established for this State. The distance between these grid lines is one coordinate unit, approximately 1,670 feet. A vertical (V) and a horizontal (H) coordinate is computed for each point from its latitude and longitude location. A (V) coordinate and (H) coordinate fixes a point at the intersection of an established vertical grid line with an established horizontal grid line. Under the list of pricing points the columns headed (V) and (H) contain the vertical and horizontal coordinates for each point. To determine the rate distance between any two points proceed as follows:
a. Obtain the (V) and (H) coordinates for each point.
b. Obtain the difference between the (V) coordinates of the two points. Obtain the difference between the (H) coordinates. The difference is always obtained by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the larger coordinate.
c. Square each difference obtained in b. above.
d. Add the squares of the (V) difference and the (H) difference obtained in c. above.
e. Divide the sum of the squares obtained in d. above by 10. Round to the next higher whole number if any fraction is obtained.
f. Obtain the square root of the result obtained in e. above. This is the rate distance in miles. (Fractional miles are considered as full miles.)
