Multi-CoS may be used to support CoS for critical applications (i.e. voice). “ELA over SONET" is a layer 1, SONET-based service. EVA is a layer 2, Ethernet- based service that provides customers with a premium non-oversubscribed connection with Fast E and Gig E connection types. Customer may experience delayed installation intervals due to construction requirements and available bandwidths may be limited due to distance and available Ethemnet-supported facilities from the local access provider. (c) Wavelength Local Access. “Wavelength Local Access” means Service using wave division multiplexing technology. Wavelength Local Access is available at bandwidths of 1 GbE, 10 GbE LAN PHY, 2.5 G (OC48), 10 GbE WAN PHY (OC192), 40G, OTU1, OTU2, OTUS, 1G, 2G, 4G and 10G. (d) DSL Local Access. “DSL Local Access” means Leased Access using digital subscriber line (“DSL”) technology. DSL Local Access Is available at bandwidths varying from 128 kbps/64 kbps to 15000 Mbps/1000 Mbps. Customer may experience delayed installation intervals due to Construction requirements and available bandwidths may be limited due to distance and available DSL- supported facilities from the local access provider. (e) IP Connection. “IP Connection” is a Layer 3, symmetrical transport service that utilizes established dedicated IP and MPLS transport technologies. When purchasing IP Connection, Customer agrees that it will use the IP Connection only for the provision of either (i) wireline broadband Internet access (as defined in applicable Federal Communications Commission orders and regulations), or (ii) wireline broadband Intemet access plus additional information services, with wireline broadband Internet access constituting a principal use. IP Connection provides connectivity between single Customer locations within an affiliate LEC metropolitan area and a “hub” location using industry standard dedicated IP and MPLS protocols. The transmission speed depends on the amount of bandwidth available at the respective Customer location, which may be dependent on available underlying technology at the location. Service is available over multiple designs, which may include but not be limited to symmetrical VDSL2 connectivity with MPLS transport supporting speeds up to 40/40mg and symmetrical GPON connectivity with MPLS transport supporting speeds up to 1G/1G, all providing an IP Connection over the given transport solution. 23 Types of Service. CenturyLink offers the following three types of Service: CenturyLink Provided Access, Customer Provided Access or Cross-Connect Access. 2.3.1 CenturyLink Provided Access. “CenturyLink Provided Access” or “CLPA” means either On-Net Access or Leased Access. (a) On-Net Access. For On-Net Access, Customer must be located in a Centurylink designated building in which On-Net Access is generally available. On-Net Access is generally available as Special Access (except at the DSO bandwidth), ELA, and Wavelength N198621 Page 13 of 17 © CenturyLink. All Rights Reserved. v1.072916 CENTURYLINK® LOYAL ADVANTAGE® AGREEMENT LOCAL ACCESS SERVICE EXHIBIT Local Access. Depending on the Service Address, On-Net Access may be provided through an existing CPOP, newly built CPOP, existing intra-building local loop facilities, or connections to a third party provider where CenturyLink coordinates the connectivity between CenturyLink facilities and facilities of a service provider with whom CenturyLink is interconnected. On-Net Access is subject to the On-Net Service Level Agreement located at http://www.centurylink.com/leqal/, which is subject to change. {b) Leased Access. Leased Access is generally available as Special Access, ELA, Wavelength Local Access and DSL Local Access at the bandwidths described in this Service Exhibit for those access types. Customer may request a specific local access provider for Leased Access from a list of available providers with whom CenturyLink has interconnect agreements. CenturyLink will attempt to use the Customer requested provider, but both final routing and the provider actually used will be chosen by CenturyLink. Where available for Special Access, ELA and Wavelength Local Access, Customer may request CenturyLink to provide a separate fiber facility path for a protection system between the local access provider's serving wire center and the Service Address (“Protect Route”). Protect Route uses backup electronics and two physically separate facility paths in the provisioning of Service. if the working facllity or electronics fail, or the Service performance becomes impaired, the facility is designed to automatically switch to the Service protect path in order to maintain a near-continuous fiow of information between locations. Special Access and ELA are also generally available as a central office meet point at a local access provider central office to which Customer has a dedicated connection. 2.3.2 Customer Provided Access. “Customer Provided Access” or “CPA” means a local loop that Customer orders from a local access provider to connect Customer’s premises to the CenturyLink Domestic Network at a connection point specified by CenturyLink. CenturyLink will provide Customer with a limited letter of agency (“LOA”), which is incorporated by this reference, authorizing Customer to act as CenturyLink’s agent so that Customer’s local access provider will connect Customer’s premises to the CenturyLink Domestic Network. Customer will also need to execute a CPA-DAR Addendum for CPA POP with ELA or Wavelength Local Access. Customer will pay a CPA charge to CenturyLink when Customer uses the following: (a) Special Access CPA dedicated facilities or ELA CPA virtual local area network (“VLAN"), both of which are dedicated entrance facilities CenturyLink leases from a local access provider and that carry traffic only from CenturyLink; or (b) ELA CPA POP, which requires CenturyLink to provide space and power for the local access provider to install Ethernet equipment; or (c) Wavelength Local Access. Customer will pay a CPA charge to CenturyLink when Customer uses Special Access CPA non-dedicated facilities owned by local access providers and that carry traffic from multiple carriers, including CenturyLink, if the provider charges CenturyLink for those facilities. CPA ELA VLAN is an access type where CenturyLink will provision and assign an Ethemet virtual circuit from a CenturyLink POP to a Customer designated Ethernet facility leased from a common Ethernet service provider. This access will be used to connect to a CenturyLink VLAN assignment on a CenturyLink 1Q Networking Internet or Private Port or E-Line. CenturyLink will not bill customer a CPA charge for an IP layer 3 expansion site because Customer, not CenturyLink, is responsible for ordering a cross-connect from the IP layer 3 expansion site manager to meet CenturyLink in the IP layer 3 expansion site’s meet-me-room. CPA is the responsibility of Customer and CenturyLink will not pay for or troubleshoot components of CPA. 2.3.3 Cross-Connect Access. “Cross-Connect Access” or “XCA” means: (a) an intra-POP connection between certain Customer facilities with direct access to the CenturyLink Domestic Network and the CenturyLink backbone access point {either (i) located within CenturyLink's transport area where CenturyLink allows Customer to bring its own fiber directly to the CenturyLink fiber under an executed Direct Connect Agreement (“Direct Connect”) or (i) in an area where Customer has leased space in a CPOP, a remote collocation site, or a collocation hotel under a Telecommunications Collocation License Agreement or (b) a connection between a CenturyLink-determined data center and a CenturyLink 1Q Networking Port, Optical Wavelength Service (“OWS"), or E-Line (“Data Center Access”) under an executed CenturyLink TS Service Exhibit with a CenturyLink 1Q Networking, OWS or E-Line Service Exhibit. Data Center Access is available in bandwidths of 100 Mbps, 1G, and 10G (CenturyLink iQ Networking and OWS only). Direct Connect requires splicing of Customer and CenturyLink fibers and cross-connection of individual circuits. 24 RSS. Customer understands that Service is an interstate telecommunications service, as defined by Federal Communications Commission regulations and represents while using the Service, more than 10% of its usage will be interstate usage. 3. Ordering. Upon acceptance of an order for a Service, CenturyLink will notify Customer of CenturyLink’s target date for the delivery of that Service (“Estimated Availability Date”). Once CenturyLink notifies Customer of the Estimated Availability Date for a Service, cancellation fees or Cancellation Charges set forth in the Cancellation section below will apply to any canceliation of that order. If Customer fails to respond to CenturyLink’s requests to arrange for the installation of a Service when CenturyLink is ready, CenturyLink may consider the affected Service order canceled. CenturyLink will use commercially reasonable efforts to install each such Service on or before the Estimated Availability Date, but the inability of CenturyLink to deliver Service by such date is not a default under the Agreement or this Service Exhibit. 4. Charges. Customer will pay the net rates set forth in the attached pricing attachment or a quote for Service issued by CenturyLink if the rates for Service at a particular Service Address are not included in the pricing attachment, including all applicable ancillary service charges. CenturyLink invoices MRCs in advance and NRCs in arrears. If the Start of Service Date for any Service falls on any day other than the first day of the month, the first invoice to Customer will consist of: (a) the pro-rata portion of the applicable MRC covering the period from the Start of Service Date to the first day of the subsequent month; and (b) the MRC for the tollowing month. Charges for Service will not be used to calculate Contributory Charges. Customer will receive the rates for Service as shown on the pricing attachment regardless of whether an NPA/NXX split or overlay occurs. 4.1 Ancillary Charges. Ancillary charges applicable to Service include but are not limited to those ancillary services set forth in this section. If an ancillary charge applies in connection with provisioning a particular Service, CenturyLink will notify Customer of the ancillary charge to be billed to Customer. Customer may either approve or disapprove CenturyLink providing the ancillary service. N198621 Page 14 of 17 © CenturyLink. All Rights Reserved. v1.072916 CENTURYLINK® LOYAL ADVANTAGE® AGREEMENT LOCAL ACCESS SERVICE EXHIBIT (a) Expedite. A local loop expedite charge applies to orders where Customer requests the delivery of Service one or more days before the Estimated Availability Date. Customer may only request to expedite CenturyLink Provided Access of Special Access and ELA orders (where underlying local access provider allows CenturyLink QCC to order an expedited service.) (b) Extended Wiring. “Extended Wiring” means additional wiring required for orders where Customer’s requested Service termination point is not located in the same location as the Demarcation Point. Customer may only request Extended Wiring for (i) Special Access ordered as Leased Access, (i} DSL Local Access, (iii) Ethernet Local Access (where available), and (iv) IP Connection. (c) Construction. Construction charges apply if; (i) special construction is required to extend Service to the Demarcation Point; or (iiy other activities not covered by Extended Wiring are required beyond the Demarcation Point, that cause CenturyLink to incur additional expenses for provisioning the Service (e.g., special arrangements to provide conduit or intra-building cable ) (“Construction”). If Customer does not approve of the Construction charges after CenturyLink notifies Customer of the charges, the Service ordered will be deemed cancelled. (d) Multiplexing. Customer may request
