Service with a CenturyLink provided router includes 8x5 NBD maintenance using ProMET® Remote Standard Service or 24x7 on-site
maintenance using ProMET® On-Site Premium Service at Customer qualified sites. CenturyLink may use repackaged Rental CPE or

management (device inventory), and configuration management (inventory of customer-physical and legical configuration). Customer ;
must make change management requests via Control Center at hitps://controlcenter.centurylink.com. Select Management only

mesh, partial mesh, or hub-and-spoke topologies with secure tunnels for remote communication between Customer locations. IPSec is
only available on approved Cisco and Adtran devices. IPSec opportunities greater than 25 devices or with other manufacturer’s devices
require CenturyLink approval before submitting an order.
{d) CenturyLink Responsibilities. For NMS, CenturyLink will provide Customer with a nonexclusive service engineer team,
which will maintain a Customer profile for the portion of the Customer’s network where the devices covered by NMS reside.
CenturyLink will work with Customer to facilitate resolution of service affecting issues with Select Management or Comprehensive
Management.
(e) Customer Responsibilities.
() Customer must provide all information and perform all actions reasonably requested by CenturyLink in order to facilitate
installation of NMS. If Customer limits or restricts CenturyLink’s read/write access to a device, CenturyLink cannot support
configuration backups. Customer is responsible for supporting CenturyLink in access, troubleshooting, and configuration requests
made in accordance with normal troubleshooting and repair support activities. For Out-of-Band management related to fault
isolation/resolution, Customer will provide and maintain a POTS line for each managed device. “Out-of-Band” means a connection
between two devices that relies on a non-standard network connection, such as an analog dial modem, which must be a CenturyLink
certified 56k external modem. Additionally, Customer will provide a dedicated modem for each managed device. It is not mandatory
that Customer have a POTS line but Customer must understand that CenturyLink will not be able to troubleshoot issues if the device
covered by NMS cannot be reached. Service related outages requiring access to the device for troubleshooting and repair purposes
will impact the eligibility of any associated SLA credits.
(i) For Comprehensive Management, Customer must execute the attached Letter of Agency (Attachment 1) to authorize
CenturyLink to act as Customer’s agent solely for the purpose of accessing Customer’s transport services.
(iii) Depending on transport type, Customer’s managed devices must comply with the following set of access requirements: (A) for
NMS delivered via IP connectivity with an Internet Port or other public Internet service, devices must contain an appropriate version of
OS capable of establishing IPsec VPNs; and (B) for NMS delivered with a Private Port, CenturyLink will configure a virtual circuit to
access Customer’s device at no additional charge. CenturyLink will add the NMS network operations center to the Customer closed
user group to manage the devices within Customer’s network.
{iv) Customer must provide a routable valid IP address to establish the NMS connection. Customer’s primary technical interface
person must be available during the remote installation process to facilitate installation of NMS. All Customer devices managed under
NMS must be maintained under a contract from a CenturyLink approved onsite CPE maintenance provider. The response times for
which Customer contracts with its CPE maintenance provider will affect CenturyLink’s timing for resolution of problems involving
Customer provided devices. The performance of the CPE maintenance provider is Customer’s responsibility.
24 End-to-End Performance Reporting. End-to-End Performance Reporting is a feature included with Private Ports, the Private
Port functionality of Enhanced Ports, CenturyLink IQ + Ports, and CenturyLink IQ + Cloud Ports, except for Ports with VPLS. Customer
must include CenturyLink as a member of each closed user group. The feature includes a report based on data collected from
Customer’s traffic within its closed user groups and measures availability, jitter, latency, and packet delivery between Customer’s edge
routers, between CenturyLink’s routers, and between Customer's edge routers and CenturyLink’s routers. The data contained in the
report is measured differently than the goals contained in the SLA applicable to the Service and is for informational purposes only.
Customer is not entitled to SLA credits based on the data in the report. Customer may access the report in the Control Center portal.
Some quote forms or other associated documents may use “End-to-End Performance Monitoring” to mean “End-to-End Performance
Reporting”.
25 Multicast. Multicast is an optional feature for Private Ports and the Private Port functionality of Enhanced Ports. The feature
enables IP multicast on the CenturyLink IP network. Customer must configure its edge devices with CenturyLink designated multicast
protocol specifications and use the CenturyLink designated IP address range for Customer’s multicast applications. The standard
feature allows up to ten sources of multicast traffic per Customer, but CenturyLink may permit a limited number of additional sources.
2.6 Secure IP Gateway. Secure |P Gateway (“SIG”) is an optional feature for
