MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS A13.19 TouchStar Service (Cont'd) A Applications A. TouchStar service consists of the following central office call management features offered in addition to basic telephone service. A Definitions of Feature Offerings A. Call Return This feature enables a customer to place a call to the telephone number associated with the most recent call received, whether or not the call was answered or the number is known. The customer can dial a code to request that the network place the call. Where facilities permit, upon activation of the feature, the customer will receive a voice announcement stating that Call Return has been accessed. In addition, the announcement will provide the Directory Number (DN) of the last incoming call. In some locations, the date and time of receipt of the call will also be provided. The Call Return user will then be prompted to enter an additional digit to continue with the feature activation, or to hang up to abort the activation. If the called line is not busy, the call is placed. If the called line is busy, a confirmation announcement is heard, the customer hangs up and a queuing process begins. For the next 30 minutes, both the calling and called lines are checked periodically for availability to complete the call. If during this queuing process the called line becomes idle, the customer is notified, via a distinctive ring, that the network is ready to place the call. When the customer picks up the telephone the call will automatically be placed. In some locations, due to technological limitations, Call Return must be purchased with Repeat Dialing. This feature is not available on operator handled calls. In connection with Call Return, the Company will deliver all numbers, subject to technical limitations, including telephone numbers associated with Non-Published Listing Service. If the last incoming call originated from a telephone where delivery of the number was suppressed, via per line blocking, that number will not be available for voicing-back to the Call Return customer. If the incoming call is from a caller served by a PBX, only the main number of the PBX is transmitted and available for voice-back. If the incoming call is from a RingMaster service customer, the telephone number transmitted and available for voice-back will be the main Directory Number rather than any dependent RingMaster service number. If the incoming call originates from a multi-line hunt group, the telephone number transmitted and voiced-back will always be the main number of the hunt group, unless the telephone numbers are TN identified within the group. This feature is available, facilities permitting, to residence and business customers as follows: (a) monthly subscription, or (b) per activation/occasion. If the customer subscribes to the feature on a monthly basis, unlimited access is provided with no additional charge for each activation. Where facilities permit, the feature may be utilized on a non-subscription basis with a per occasion charge for each activation. Access to the usage option can be restricted at the customer's request at no charge. B. Repeat Dialing Repeat Dialing, when activated, automatically redials the last number the customer attempted to call. If the called line is not busy, the call will be placed. If the called line is busy, a confirmation announcement is heard, the customer hangs up and a queuing process begins. For the next 30 minutes, both the calling and called lines are checked periodically for availability to complete the call. If during this queuing process the called line becomes idle, the customer is notified, via a distinctive ring, that the network is ready to place the call. When the customer picks up the telephone the call will automatically be placed. In some locations, due to technological limitations, Repeat Dialing must be purchased with Call Return. This feature is available, facilities permitting, to residence and business customers as follows: (a) monthly subscription, or (b) per activation/occasion. If the customer subscribes to the feature on a monthly basis, unlimited access is provided with no additional charge for each activation. Where facilities permit, the feature may be utilized on a non-subscription basis with a per occasion charge for each activation. Access to the usage option can be restricted at the customer's request at no charge. (M) (M)(T) Material appearing on this page previously appeared on page(s) 39 of this section.

OBSOLETE SERVICE OFFERINGS - MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS (M) A Reserved for Future Use A Reserved for Future Use A Reserved for Future Use A Reserved for Future Use A Network Facilities for use with 976 Service (Obsoleted December 28, 2001, Type 3) Service will be discontinued after June 1, A General A. 976 Service consists of a special arrangement for subscriber use to provide announcement and recorded program services within the local calling scopes of the Atlanta and Savannah exchanges. The subscriber may apply a charge to its client for announcements or services delivered in response to calls to a 976 number. The Company will bill these charges on behalf of the subscriber and apply a charge to the subscriber for transport and billing of the call. A "client" of the subscriber is defined to be: The calling party when 976 charges are applicable for Company originated and transported calls, or The appropriate interexchange carrier when 976 calls are delivered by said carrier to a local 976 number. A "subscriber" to 976 Service provides information to the calling public by means of recorded announcements and may apply a charge to its client for announcements or services delivered in response to: Each local call completed to the subscriber's program from flat rate or certain message rate telephones. Each Company originated and transported intralata toll or WATS call completed to the subscriber's program. Each Optional Extended Area Service (OEAS) call completed to the subscriber's program. Each call delivered by an interexchange carrier to the subscriber's program. The Company agrees to provide billing on behalf of the subscriber. The subscriber is responsible for provision of service as described following. The Company will produce a record of the number of calls completed and billed to clients of the subscriber for each 976 telephone number and will issue a remittance check to the subscriber based on the difference between his charge for the billed call and the Company's charge to the subscriber, less uncollectable billing from prior periods. No charge for a 976 call will be made by the subscriber, and no remittance will be made to the subscriber, for calls originating from mobile telephone stations within the local calling area. Where facilities permit, no calls will be permitted to a 976 number from pay telephones or four-party stations. No customer dialed operator assisted calls will be permitted to be placed to a 976 number and no third party or collect toll calls will be permitted to be billed to a 976 number. 976 Service will be provided under the following conditions: 1. The subscriber shall provide, via the 976 Network, continuous, uninterrupted automatic announcement and recorded program services. The customer-provided equipment will allow access to an announcement message by a calling party within a maximum of 30 seconds. This equipment will provide each call, an off-hook condition (answer supervision) at the beginning of each call and an on-hook condition (disconnect supervision) upon completion of a full announcement cycle time duration. 2. Subscriber sponsorship of any particular announcement or recorded program service shall not preclude another subscriber from sponsoring the same or similar announcement. 3. For network sizing and protection, each subscriber must provide an estimate of annual call volumes, the expected busy hour and busy hour call volumes, and holding time for each announcement.

OBSOLETE SERVICE OFFERINGS - MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS A Network Facilities for use with 976 Service (Cont'd) (Obsoleted December 28, 2001, Type 3) Service will be discontinued after June 1, A General (Cont'd) A. (Cont'd) 4. The provision of access to the 976 Network by the Company for the transmission of announcement or recorded program services is subject to availability of such facilities and the requirements of the local exchange and toll network. In no event shall the Company be liable for any losses or damages of any kind resulting from the unavailability or failure of its equipment or facilities or for any act, omission or failure of performance by the Company, or its employees, or agents, in connection with this Tariff. The Company shall not be responsible for calls that cannot be completed as a result of repair or maintenance difficulties on Company facilities and equipment nor on equipment owned by the subscriber. 5. The location of the central office providing 976 Service in any exchange is entirely the selection of the Company. 6. A written notice will be sent to any subscriber following oral notification when their service unreasonably interferes with or impairs other services rendered to the public by the Company or by other subscribers of 976 Service. If after notification the subscriber makes no modification in method of operation or in the service arrangements that are deemed service-protective by the Company, or if the subscriber is unwilling to accept the modifications, or if the subscriber continues to cause service impairment, the Company reserves the right, at any time without further notice, to institute protective measures, up to and including termination of service. In an emergency situation as defined by the Company, the Company reserves the right to discontinue service without advance notice. 7. The subscriber assumes all financial responsibility for all costs involved in providing announcement or recorded program services including, but not limited to, the recorder-announcement equipment, producing the recordings, advertising and promotional expenses. 8. The subscriber assumes, according to other specific rates and charges under tariff, all financial responsibility for all facilities required to connect the recorder-announcement equipment located on the subscriber's premises to the Central Office which serves the 976 Service central office (NNX) code. 9. The holding time for each recorded announcement shall not exceed 60 seconds or one complete cycle of a 60 second message unless otherwise stated and agreed upon by both parties. If the agreed upon holding time does exceed 60 seconds, the subscriber will pay the additional holding time rate. The subscriber must notify the Company at least 30 days in advance if the holding time is to be increased or decreased and such change shall start at the beginning of the next month following the expiration of the 30 days notice. 10. The Company will issue a remittance check each month to each subscriber based upon the total revenue billed to clients of the subscriber less the Company's per call charges as specified in A A.2 and A.3 following. The Company reserves the right to require a deposit, advanced payment and/or withold portions of the remittance based on the history of collectability of the vendor's service. Remittance will be made to the vendor within a period of time based on studies which determine the average number of days of cash float on billed revenue. This shall not exceed 45 days from the last day of the month in which the calls were billed to the clients. The Company report of the number of local calls completed to each 976 program will serve as the sole document upon which remittance will be made. The Company will not be liable for incorrect counts of completed calls resulting from lost or damaged tapes or program failures. The remittance will be adjusted to reflect uncollectable billing of 976 calls from prior billing periods. In the event the Company's charges for calls exceed the revenue from billed calls, the subscriber will be liable for payment of the difference to the Company. Nonpayment of the 976 call billing to the caller shall not be cause for denial or termination of exchange telephone service. 11. One directory listing is furnished per 976 number, without additional charge, in the alphabetical section of the serving exchange's directory. Rates and regulations as identified in the Directory Listings section of this Tariff will also apply. 12. The Company reserves the right to provide to the general public, upon specific request, the complete address and telephone number of the subscriber in response to inquiries and comments referring to subscriber services.

The dissemination of such messages by the subscriber shall be grounds for immediate discontinuance of their subscriber service and the Company shall have no liability to anyone as a result of its action in this regard. 14. The subscriber is responsible for obtaining all necessary permission, licenses, written consents, waivers and releases and all other rights from all persons whose work, statements or performance are used in connection with the service, and from all holders of copyrights, trademarks and patents used in connection with said service. 15. The subscriber shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, protect, defend and save harmless the Company against all suits, actions, claims, demands and judgments, of all costs, expenses and counsel fees incurred on account thereof, arising out of and resulting directly or indirectly from the Service or in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting from any infringement or claim of infringement, of any patent, trademark, copyright, or resulting from any claim of libel and slander. 16. The subscriber is responsible for informing potential callers that a call to their 976 announcement or recorded program telephone number will be at the charge the subscriber establishes and will be billed by the Company for calls from within the local calling area of the serving exchange or for Company originated and transported intralata calls; further that the Company will bill normally applicable rates for calls from outside the local calling area. The subscriber must notify the Company at least 30 days in advance if the call charge is to be increased or decreased and such change shall start at the beginning of the next month following the expiration of the 30 days notice. 17.

Customer requests for a specific telephone number are granted at the time of Service Order application providing the requested telephone number is available, i.e., unassigned, ready to be assigned and no equipment limitations exist. Requests for a specific telephone number will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis based on the application date of the Service Order. Once a Call Number has been assigned, it will be held 60 calendar days for the 976 announcement service to begin. If service has not been established by the subscriber within 60 calendar days, the number will be made available by the Company for reassignment. As set forth in other sections of this Tariff, the customer has no proprietary right in any area code, Central Office designation, or line number. 20. Upon the termination of a 976 Service, the Call Number, at the sole discretion of the Company, may be reassigned upon request. 21. In addition to 976 Service, a subscriber may arrange for a Public Announcement information service over which he may furnish recorded information announcements concerning 976 Services. Calls to such a Public Announcement Service will not be billed to the caller on a per call basis but charges to the subscriber will be applied. 22. The Company will not bill on behalf of the subscriber more than $5.00 per call for any 976 program. 23. The subscriber must state at the beginning of each 976 Service call: "This call will cost you $. If you do not wish to incur this charge, hang up now." (hereinafter referred to as the "Cost Disclosure Message"). The Cost Disclosure Message must be given in eight (8) seconds and must be followed by a silent period of six (6) seconds within which the caller can hang up without being charged the 976 charge for the call. The 976 caller will in any event be liable for all applicable toll charges.
