1. Local Services Resale

The Commission shall determine in Docket No. 96-9035 the wholesale discount to be applied to the applicable retail rate for all NEVADA services subject to resale and further shall determine the appropriate non-recurring charges (including changeover charges) which shall apply to resold Local Service. If CLEC wishes to order Local Service before the Commission issues an order in that Docket determining the wholesale discount and/or the appropriate nonrecurring charges, the Parties shall meet and confer in order to establish an interim price and/or interim non-recurring charges. In addition to the wholesale discount CLEC, shall receive the same volume discounts from NEVADA for Telecommunications Services based on its wholesale volume that NEVADA provides to its retail customers based on their retail volume without regard to the number of customers to which CLEC resells such service. In establishing the proper wholesale rate for volume discounted services, NEVADA may calculate a separate discount rate. Any interim prices so set shall be subject to modification by any subsequent decision of the Commission. If an interim price is different from the rate subsequently established by the Commission, any underpayment shall be paid by CLEC to NEVADA, or any overpayment refunded by NEVADA to CLEC, within forty-five (45) days after the establishment of the price by the Commission; provided, however, if the total amount of the underpayment or overpayment for all resold Local Services (including recurring and non-recurring charges) is less than $75,000 (seventy five thousand dollars) no payment shall be due.


The prices shall be based on NEVADA’s retail rates applicable on the Effective Date, less the applicable discount. If NEVADA changes its retail rates after CLEC executes this Agreement, the applicable discount shall be applied to the changed retail rates from the time such changes become effective.


2. Unbundled Network Elements

 2.1 The Commission shall determine the prices charged to CLEC for Network Elements.

 2.2 

If CLEC wishes to order any Network Element before the Commission issues an order determining the appropriate price, the Parties shall meet and confer in order to establish an interim price. Any interim prices so set shall be subject to modification by any subsequent decision of the Commission. If an interim price is different from the rate subsequently established by the Commission, any underpayment shall be paid by CLEC to NEVADA, or any overpayment refunded by NEVADA to CLEC, within forty-five (45) days after the establishment of the price by the Commission; provided, however, if the total amount of the underpayment or overpayment for all Network Elements (including recurring and non-

recurring charges) is less than $35,000 (thirty five thousand dollars) no payment shall be due.


 2.3 In order to permit CLEC to place technical and systems trial orders, CLEC agrees to pay Nevada Bell the interim prices listed in Appendix A for items it orders during said technical and systems trial. CLEC has agreed to pay the prices listed in Appendix A under protest, and without waiver of any of its rights to contest whether these prices are cost based as required by the Act. Further, the Parties agree that the prices in Appendix A are interim prices, subject to true up as described in Section 2.2. above. Should CLEC, before the Commission has ordered prices in Docket 96-9035, wish to place orders other than for the technical and systems trial, CLEC shall first initiate the process set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.2

3. Collocation

 3.1 The Commission shall determine the prices charged to CLEC for collocation.

 3.2 If CLEC wishes to order Collocation before the Commission issues an order determining Collocation prices, the Parties shall meet and confer in order to establish an interim price. Any interim prices so set shall be subject to modification by any subsequent decision of the Commission. If an interim price is different from the rate subsequently established by the Commission, any underpayment shall be paid by CLEC to NEVADA, or any overpayment refunded by NEVADA to CLEC, within forty-five (45) days after the establishment of the price by the Commission; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 3.2, collocation will be included within the true-up specified in Section 2.2.

4. Interconnection Services

 4.1 NEVADA will make interconnection arrangements available at all collocated locations. CLEC may choose to deliver both local and toll traffic over the same trunk group(s). With respect to the previous sentence, CLEC will provide NEVADA with the Percent Local Usage (PLU) factor to facilitate billing of the local interconnection rate. CLEC’s PLU determination shall be subject to reasonable audit by NEVADA pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement.

 4.2 

Prices and terms for interconnection services are specified in Attachment 18 and this Attachment 8, including, without limitation, the calculation of applicable charges for the completion of toll and local traffic when NEVADA’s LSNE is used, the manner for determining when reciprocal


ATTACHMENT 8 PRICING - NV

compensation applies for the exchange of local traffic, and the reciprocal compensation rates for local and toll traffic.


5. Rights of Way, Conduits and Pole Attachments

 5.1 The Commission shall determine the prices charged to CLEC for rights of way, conduits or pole attachments.

 5.2 If CLEC wishes to order rights of way, conduits or pole attachments before the Commission issues an order determining prices, the Parties shall meet and confer in order to establish an interim price. Any interim prices so set shall be subject to modification by any subsequent decision of the Commission. If an interim price is different from the rate subsequently established by the Commission, any underpayment shall be paid by CLEC to NEVADA, or any overpayment refunded by NEVADA to CLEC, within forty-five (45) days after the establishment of the price by the Commission; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 5.2, rights of way, conduits and pole attachments shall be included in the true up specified in Section 2.2 above.

6. Development and Implementation Cost Recovery

 6.1. The Parties shall petition the Commission to consider issues surrounding development and implementation costs in a multi-party industry-wide docket. Both parties shall track such costs in a manner consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. To the extent determined by the Commission, the parties shall pay their appropriate share of development and implementation costs. Prior to such determination, NEVADA shall fill all orders placed by CLEC without requiring up-front payment of such costs.

 6.2. Specific Costs.

 6.2.1. Subloop Unbundling (Distribution Media, Loop Concentrator/Multiplexers and Loop Feeder)

 6.2.1.1 Pursuant to Attachment 6, Section 1.7, upon receipt of a bona fide request, NEVADA, CLEC, and any other requesting carrier shall work together to determine the technical feasibility for each specific FDI requested. The costs of a feasibility determination shall be borne by the parties requesting access. The costs of expanding the Fiber Distribution Interface (FDI) to provide the requested Network Elements shall be paid by the parties that receive access to it.


ATTACHMENT 8 PRICING - NV

PAGE 5 OF 6

NEVADA/LIBERTY TELECOM LLC


 6.2.1.2 CLEC shall pay all reasonable costs of the work done on its behalf or required as a result of its presence at a particular FDI.

 6.2.2. AIN Database - Technical Feasibility Testing.

If the Parties engage in one-on-one cooperative testing, reasonable and necessary costs of carrying out the agreed-to test plans shall be tracked and documented by each of the Parties for the purpose of identifying the total costs incurred by the two parties. The Parties shall split the total cost on an equal basis, each paying 50%. Each Party shall submit final cost data to the other every 60 days during testing and within 60 days after completion of the test. The owing Party shall pay within 30 days after receipt of the final cost data; however, if the total difference in costs incurred by each of the Parties is less than $10,000 no payment shall be due.


If AIN testing is performed at an industry level, each Party shall bear its own cost of technical feasibility testing for access to AIN triggers.


 6.2.3. Higher-Than-Parity Service.

NEVADA shall track its costs caused by service performance requirements of this Agreement or specific CLEC requests which specify service that is higher-than-parity with service levels NEVADA provides for comparable retail services or for similar services for other CLCs. The Commission will resolve any disputes concerning whether a request for service is “above parity”. For any such higher-than-parity service requirements which cause significant additional costs, NEVADA will charge CLEC such additional costs. If the Parties dispute such recovery, NEVADA may request Commission approval to charge CLEC such costs. Pending resolution of any dispute, NEVADA shall not withhold any required service from CLEC.


7. To Be Determined

In this Agreement, rates for certain services, Network Elements and Combinations are specified as “To Be Determined” (TBD). In addition, numerous provisions of this Agreement refer to prices set forth in Attachment 8. In the event of such a reference in this Agreement where there is no corresponding price in this Attachment 8, it shall be deemed to be TBD. With respect to all TBD prices, prior to CLEC ordering any such TBD items, the Parties shall meet and confer to establish a price. If no agreement is reached, the Parties shall refer any disputes to the Alternative Dispute Resolution process set forth in Attachment 3. Any rates set in arbitration shall be subject to


ATTACHMENT 8 PRICING - NV

PAGE 6 OF 6

NEVADA/LIBERTY TELECOM LLC


modification by any subsequent decision of the Commission. CLEC shall be responsible for payments of any such rates so established as ordered in arbitration or by the Commission.


8. Not Applicable

In this Agreement, rates for certain services, Network Elements and Combinations are specified as “Not Applicable” (N/A). In the event of such a reference in this Agreement where there is no corresponding price in this Attachment 8, it shall be deemed that there will be no corresponding rate in the field where the N/A appears.

ATTACHMENT 9

ACCESS TO VERIGATE, LEX and POS OPERATIONS SUPPORT SYSTEMS


1. General Conditions

1.1 This Attachment sets forth the terms and conditions under which NEVADA provides access to three of NEVADA’S operations support systems (OSS) “functions” to CLEC for pre-ordering, ordering and order statusing, VeriGate, LEX and POS respectively.


1.2 CLEC agrees to utilize VeriGate, LEX and POS as described herein, only for the purposes of establishing and maintaining Resale services or UNEs through NEVADA. CLEC agrees that the ordering interface will only support those Resale and UNE services for which industry standard ordering conventions have been adopted by the OBF, and implemented by PACIFIC. In addition, CLEC agrees that such use will comply with the summary of SBC’s Operating Practice 113, as attached to this Attachment and the User ID request form. The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process set forth in Attachment 3 shall apply to any issues which arise under this Attachment 9, including any alleged non-compliance with these security guidelines.


1.3 CLEC’s access to pre-order functions described in 2.2.2 and 2.3.2 will only be used to view Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) of another carrier’s end-user where CLEC has obtained an end user authorization for release of CPNI, compliant with state and federal laws, and where CLEC has obtained an authorization to become the end user’s local service provider.


1.4 CLEC’s obligation to obtain authority prior to accessing CPNI electronically, as set forth in the preceding provision, is subject to modification in accordance with any governing regulatory decisions expressly addressing this subject matter.


1.5 By utilizing the electronic interfaces described herein to access OSS functions, where CLEC has direct ordering capability, CLEC agrees not to knowingly alter any applicable Resale rates and charges where they are subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable NEVADA tariffs or NEVADA UNE rates and charges per the terms of this Agreement. CLEC agrees to use reasonable business efforts to submit orders that are correct and complete. NEVADA will use reasonable business efforts to reject for processing CLEC orders which are not correct and complete. The Parties agree to conduct internal and independent reviews for accuracy. The audit rights in Section 10 of the Agreement shall apply.


1.6 The information Services (I.S.) Call Center provides a technical support function for the OSS interfaces described in this Attachment. CLEC will also provide a single point of contact for technical issues related to the electronic interfaces.

NEVADA/LIBERTY TELECOM LLC


1.7 NEVADA and CLEC will establish interface contingency plans and disaster recovery plans for the OSS interfaces described in this Attachment.


1.8 The Parties agree that the Change Management Process agreed to in California and documented under the auspices of the California Commission OSS Oil will be used to manage changes to LEX, Verigate and POS.


2. Pre-Order

2.1 Where available to NEVADA, NEVADA will provide real time access to pre-order functions to support CLEC ordering of Resale services and UNE via the electronic interfaces described herein. The Parties acknowledge that ordering requirements necessitate the use of current, real time pre-order information to accurately build service orders. The following lists represent pre-order functions that are available to CLEC:


2.2 Pre-ordering functions for Resale include:


 2.2.1 features and services available at a valid service address (as applicable);

 2.2.2 access to customer proprietary network information (CPNI) for NEVADA retail or resold services for pre-ordering will include: billing name, service address, billing address, service and feature subscription, directory listing information, long distance carrier identity, and pending service order activity. CLEC agrees to comply with the conditions set forth in Section 1.3;

 2.2.3 a telephone number (if the end user does not have one assigned) with the end user on-line;

 2.2.4 service availability dates to the end user;

 2.2.5 information regarding whether dispatch is required;

 2.2.6 Primary Interexchange Carrier (PIC) options for intraLATA toll (when available) and interLATA toll;

 2.2.7 service address verification.

2.3 Pre-ordering functions for UNE include:

ATTACHMENT 9 ACCESS TO VERIGATE, LEX AND POS OPERATIONS SUPPORT SYSTEMS - NV

PAGE 4 OF 7

NEVADA/LIBERTY TELECOM LLC


 2.3.2 access to customer proprietary network information (CPNI) for NEVADA retail or resold services for pre-ordering will include: billing name, service address, billing address, service and feature subscription, directory listing information, long distance carrier identity, and pending service order activity. CLEC agrees to comply with the conditions set forth in Section 1.3;

 2.3.3 a telephone number (if the end user does not have one assigned) with the end user on-line;

 2.3.4 service availability dates to the end user where CLEC requests NEVADA to provision combinations of UNEs and where such combined elements have analogous NEVADA retail services with flexible service availability date functions;

 2.3.5 information regarding whether dispatch is required where CLEC requests NEVADA to provision combinations of UNEs and where such combined elements have analogous NEVADA retail services with flexible service availability date functions;

 2.3.6 Primary Interexchange Carrier (PIC) options for intraLATA toll (when available) and interLATA toll;

 2.3.7 service address verification.

 2.4. Electronic Access to Pre-Order Functions: NEVADA will provide CLEC access to the following system:

 2.4.1 VeriGate is an end-user interface developed by NEVADA that provides access to the pre-ordering functions for Resale Services and UNE. VeriGate may be used in connection with electronic or manual ordering.

3. Ordering/Provisioning

3.1 NEVADA will provide access to ordering and statusing functions to support CLEC provisioning of Resale services and UNEs via the OSS interfaces described below. To order Resale services and UNEs, CLEC will format the service request to identify what features, services, or elements it wishes NEVADA to provision in accordance with NEVADA LSOR and other ordering requirements which have been reviewed and discussed by both parties. NEVADA will provide CLEC access to the following interfaces:


 3.1.1 LSR Exchange (LEX) is a graphical user interface provided by NEVADA that provides access to the ordering functions for UNEs and Resale Services.


ATTACHMENT 9 ACCESS TO VERIGATE, LEX AND POS OPERATIONS SUPPORT SYSTEMS - NV

PAGE 5 OF 7

NEVADA/LIBERTY TELECOM LLC


 3.1.2 Provisioning Order Status (POS) is a graphical user interface provided by NEVADA that allows CLEC to obtain provisioning status on their basic exchange field work orders. POS provides technician scheduling and routing information, as well as due date status. POS allows retrieval status for Resale Basic Exchange, Directory Number Call Forwarding (DNCF), and UNE basic exchange service orders. It does not retrieve status for Special Services orders such as Private Line or Multi Wire Center Circuits.

4. Remote Access Facility

4.1 CLEC must access the NEVADA OSS interfaces, described herein, via the Pacific Remote Access Facility (PRAF). Connection to the PRAF will be established via a “port” either through dial-up or direct connection. CLEC may utilize a single port to access these interfaces to perform the supported functions in NEVADA where CLEC has executed this Attachment and purchases System Access.


5. Operational Readiness Test (ORT) for Ordering/Provisioning

5.1 Prior to initial live access to interface functionality, the Parties shall conduct Operational Readiness Testing (ORT)-which will allow for the testing of the systems, interfaces, and processes for the OSS functions.


5.2 Prior to live system usage, CLEC must complete user education classes for NEVADA-provided interfaces that affect the NEVADA network. Classes are train-the-trainer format to enable CLEC to devise its own course work for its own employees. Charges will apply for each class. Classes will be available for and required for LEX. Optional classes will be available for VeriGate and POS. Schedules will be made available upon request and are subject to change. The length of classes varies; the following table presents the applicable rates. Ongoing class schedules may be requested from CLEC’s account manager.
