Services provided to state emergency operations centers are included. These services provide for command and control communications, including communications for national security, emergency preparedness and presidential requirements. They are required to assure continuity of Government in emergency and crisis situations and to provide for national security. Services for command and control communications and for national security and emergency preparedness sometimes require short notice and short duration service provisions. These provisions are especially needed to meet presidential requirements or in response to natural, man-made, or declared emergencies. Requirements of this type cannot be forecasted and are usually needed for a relatively short period. The provision of service under these conditions may require the availability of facilities, such as portable microwave equipment, which are provided on a temporary basis by the Telephone Company or customer Emergency Conditions These services will be provided on the date requested or as soon as possible thereafter when an emergency falls into one of the following categories: - State of crisis declared by the National Command Authorities (includes commitments made to the Office of Emergency Communications in the "National Plan for Emergencies and Major Disasters") - Efforts to protect endangered U.S. personnel or property both in the U.S.and abroad.

(3) GETS Alternate Carrier Routing (ACR) Feature ACR is an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) feature which allows as many as three IC choices for completing a GETS call. When a GETS caller dials a GETS number, i.e., 710-NCS-GETS to access the service, the ACR feature routes the call alternately to the three GETS ICs identified by Carrier Identification Codes (CICs) in an ordered sequence: - Primary IC - Alternate IC - Second Alternate IC The United States Government Office of the Manager, Office of Emergency Communications (OMOEC), will supply the pre-defined ordering of ICs for each end office. (T) (T) (4) GETS Calling Party Number (CPN) Feature The CPN feature modifies the originating CPN to a GETS-unique number (710-NCS-GETS). This CPN will be passed along with other call information from the BellSouth network to the IC and finally to the terminating Local Exchange Carrier (LEC). The CPN information will be used by any network or network element to identify the call for GETS treatment. The GETS-unique number assignment for the CPN can be changed. The capability to turn "on" and "off" this feature will be provided. (5) GETS Reports Two reports will be provided as a part of the rate for the GETS ACR feature: Call Data Report and Emergency Data for Performance Reporting: (1) Call Data Report The Call Data Report provides call detail associated with GETS ACR usage. The Call Data report contains information such as call date, call time, call duration, and IC used for the call. This report will be provided on a monthly basis.

This report will include information such as total calls into the affected area, total calls out the affected area, and number of blocked GETS calls. (6) GETS Enhanced Alternate Carrier Routing (EACR) Feature With EACR, when no trunks are available to the Interexchange Carrier at the tandem office, a release with cause message is sent from the tandem back to the originating office. When this release message is received at the originating office, that office will try the next carrier in the list. This process will continue until all carriers in the list have been exhausted. (7) GETS Default Routing Feature Default Routing works in conjunction with the GETS ACR feature. Default Routing is an office feature that provides basic routing instructions if a response is not received from the AIN Service Control Point before timeout occurs. In the case of GETS the call will be routed to the 710-NCS-GETS number using the PIC of the calling line. No alternate carriers will be attempted. (8) Setting Calling Party Category and IAM Signaling Priority Feature The Calling Party Category within the SS7 Initial Address Message (IAM) will be set to the NS/EP value. The 8-bit NS/EP value is This value will be used by the switches to provide Trunk Group Queuing and Exemption from Network management controls. The value will also be passed on to the next switch for like treatment. This is in accordance with ANSI standards T (Available June 1993). The IAM Signaling Priority for GETS calls will be set to 1. POTS calls will be set to 0. This is in accordance with ANSI Standard T (Available March 1996).

10 Four AT&T Plaza, Dallas, Texas ORIGINAL PAGE Type and Description (Cont'd) (E) Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS) Access (Cont d) (9) GETS Trunk Queuing Feature Trunk Queuing further enhances the probability of a call completing by allowing GETS calls to queue on busy trunk groups. The queued call will be connected to the next available trunk ahead of other POTS calls that may be attempting to connect to the trunk group. (10) GETS Exemption from Network Management Controls Feature This feature provides High Probability Completion (HPC) marked calls exemption from restrictive Network Management controls including: - Exemption from Cancel To (EX-CANT) - Exemption from Call Gap (EX-CGAP) - Exemption from Automatic Congestion Control (EX-ACC) - Exemption from Trunk Reservation (EX-TR) - Exemption from Automatic Code Gap (EX-ACG) (F) Federal Government Transport Plan (FGTP) The Federal Government Transport Plan (FGTP) allows the Federal Government or any customer providing telecommunications service(s) for the exclusive use of the Federal Government and its authorized agents to obtain DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service in accordance with the specific terms and conditions of this plan. (1) General (a) This plan is limited to DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service Local and Interoffice channel Fixed and Per Mile rate elements. DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service rate elements included in a FGTP arrangement may not be included in a Channel Services Payment Plan (CSPP) or Area Commitment Plan (ACP) as specified in preceding. DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service rate elements provided under a FGTP arrangement are excluded from any application of Shared Use provisions as specified in

11 Four AT&T Plaza, Dallas, Texas ORIGINAL PAGE Type and Description (Cont'd) (F) Federal Government Transport Plan (FGTP) (Cont'd) (2) Terms and Conditions (a) To subscribe to a FGTP the customer must specify the number of DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service Local Channel and Interoffice Channel Per Mile rate elements which are to be included in the FGTP arrangement. The number of elements specified by the customer become the customer's commitment level for the FGTP arrangement. FGTP arrangement commitments are made on a regional basis, by rate element. Additionally, the customer must also specify which DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service circuits are to be included in the FGTP arrangement. Each grouping of DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service rate element(s) (i.e., Local and Interoffice Channel Fixed and Per Mile) is assigned a circuit identification number. Rate elements having a common circuit identification number are considered to be a circuit for purposes of the FGTP. (b) The customer may add or disconnect DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service Local (LC) and Interoffice (IOC) channel rate elements under FGTP as desired, subject to applicable minimum periods and appropriate nonrecurring charges. If the customer desires to increase the FGTP commitment level, the customer may enter into an additional agreement for the increase in commitment level, or the customer may revise an existing FGTP arrangement to include the additional quantity. In the latter case, the FGTP commitment period must be equal to or greater than the time remaining in the existing FGTP arrangement, and no less than the least commitment period available under FGTP. (c) When subscribing to a FGTP arrangement the customer must select a FGTP commitment period as follows: - FGTP A, commitment periods may be selected from 24 to 48 months in length. - FGTP B, commitment periods may be selected from 49 to 72 months in length. - FGTP C, commitment periods may be selected from 73 to 96 months in length.

12 Four AT&T Plaza, Dallas, Texas ORIGINAL PAGE Type and Description (Cont'd) (F) Federal Government Transport Plan (FGTP) (Cont'd) (2) Terms and Conditions (Cont d) Termination liability as set forth in (F)(4)(a) following will not apply for DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service elements provided under a FGTP arrangement provided the customer maintains the DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service elements for at least twenty-four months under Plan A, forty-nine months under Plan B, or seventy-three months under Plan C. (3) Application of Rates (a) Except as provided in F.5, nonrecurring charges for DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service rate elements provided under a FGTP arrangement will not apply provided the customer maintains the service for the minimum twenty-four consecutive month service period. If a DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service Local or Interoffice Channel provided under a FGTP arrangement is disconnected prior to completion of the minimum twenty-four month service period, full nonrecurring charges for the applicable elements of service will be billed at the current nonrecurring charge rate as specified in preceding for month-to-month DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service. (b) Except as specified in (F)(6), recognition of previous service will be given to customers who convert eligible existing DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service arrangements to a DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service under a FGTP arrangement, or renew a DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service FGTP arrangement at the same location. In the case of conversions/renewals prior to completion of the original arrangement, the commitment period of the new FGTP arrangement must be equal to or greater than the remaining commitment period of the original arrangement, but no less than twenty-four months. Rates and charges in effect on the first day of service of the conversion/renewal will apply.

13 Four AT&T Plaza, Dallas, Texas ORIGINAL PAGE Type and Description (Cont'd) (F) Federal Government Transport Plan (FGTP) (Cont'd) (3) Application of Rates (Cont'd) (c) In order to determine if the customer is eligible for credit amounts, each month the appropriate number of DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service FGTP arrangement rate elements that are to be billed by the Telephone Company in the region under each FGTP arrangement will be determined. If the total number of in-service FGTP arrangement Local Channel and Interoffice Channel Per Mile rate element quantities equals or exceeds the FGTP arrangement commitment level, the Telephone Company will credit the customer's bill, by rate element. Credit for Rate Zone 1 circuits will be calculated first, beginning with the highest rated circuit in Rate Zone 1, and will continue in descending order through Rate Zones 1, 2 and 3 until the commitment for the particular rate element is met. (d) Utilizing the method set forth in (c) above, the credit for the Local Channel and Interoffice Channel Per Mile rate elements will be determined by multiplying the commitment level by the difference in the appropriate Rate Zone month-to-month rate for DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA High Capacity) Service Local Channel rate element specified in preceding and the appropriate Rate Zone commitment period rate for a DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service Local Channel rate element under a FGTP arrangement. When the circuit is associated with a Meet Point Billing Arrangement, the rates used in the calculation of the credit will be reduced by the appropriate Meet Point Billing Arrangement percentage. (e) For each circuit eligible for credit that includes Interoffice Channel mileage also eligible for credit, the credit for the Interoffice Channel Fixed rate elements will be determined by multiplying the quantity of Interoffice Channel Fixed rate elements associated with the count of Interoffice Channel Per Mile rate elements by the difference in the appropriate Rate Zone month-to-month rate for DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA High Capacity) Service Interoffice Channel Fixed rate element specified in preceding, and the appropriate Rate Zone commitment period rate for a DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service Interoffice Channel rate element under a FGTP arrangement. When the circuit is associated with a Meet Point Billing Arrangement, the rates used in the calculation of the credit will be reduced by the appropriate Meet Point Billing Arrangement percentage.

14 Four AT&T Plaza, Dallas, Texas ORIGINAL PAGE Type and Description (Cont'd) (F) Federal Government Transport Plan (FGTP) (Cont'd) (3) Application of Rates (Cont'd) (f) If the number of in-service rate elements are less than the commitment level, a credit will be determined by multiplying the in-service rate element quantity by the difference in the appropriate Rate Zone month-to-month rate for DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service and the appropriate DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service rate element Rate Zone commitment period rate under FGTP. Credits will be applied utilizing the same method as set forth in (F)(3)(c) and (e). In addition, a shortfall charge, equal to the difference in the commitment level and the in-service quantity, multiplied by 50% of the DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service FGTP arrangement Rate Zone 1 rate for the customer selected commitment period as specified in (F)(1) will be applied. The DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service FGTP rate that will be used is the one that is in effect on the billing date for the appropriate commitment period. (g) Credits and shortfall amounts will be distributed to billing areas based on each billing area's portion of a customer's regional FGTP-eligible in-service demand. Each state in the region is considered to be one billing area. Where the customer has more than one FGTP arrangement, the credits and shortfall charges will be determined in chronological order, starting with the earliest arrangement. Credits for DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service elements provided under a FGTP arrangement will be made at the circuit level. (h) If a customer obtains telecommunications service under provisions of this tariff not authorized by the Federal Government for its use, the customer will be liable for any applicable nonrecurring charge(s) as set forth in preceding and a charge for the inappropriate service connection. A charge equal to the difference between the month-to-month recurring rate for DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service, as set forth in preceding, and the billed DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service FGTP arrangement rate, for the entire period of service will apply.

15 Four AT&T Plaza, Dallas, Texas ORIGINAL PAGE Type and Description (Cont'd) (F) Federal Government Transport Plan (FGTP) (4) Termination Liability (Cont'd) (a) A termination charge will apply if: (1) the FGTP arrangement is terminated prior to the completion of the customer selected commitment period; (2) a regional in-service quantity falls to zero; or (3) if during the FGTP arrangement commitment period the customer decreases the commitment level. In the case of a decrease in commitment, the customer must enter into a new FGTP arrangement and terminate the existing FGTP arrangement(s). This will result in a termination liability to be calculated as follows: The termination liability, per unit terminated (i.e., commitment level and/or period), will equal the DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service element rate associated with the existing FGTP arrangement multiplied by the difference in months between the time the FGTP arrangement has been in effect and the minimal months of the existing FGTP arrangement times a factor. The factor is 40 percent for FGTP arrangements that have been in effect twelve months or less, or 20 percent for FGTP arrangements that have been in effect longer than twelve months. (b) In the case of a termination affecting both a commitment level and commitment period, the termination liability will be calculated first for the reduction in level and then for the reduction in period. (c) Nonrecurring charges associated with DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service and termination liability will not be assessed if the disconnect of an FGTP arrangement is due to a Federal Government closing of the site (i.e., Air Force Base, etc.). (d) DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service(s) that convert from an existing CSPP or ACP arrangement, specified in 2.4.8, will not incur termination liability associated with the prior arrangement.

16 Four AT&T Plaza, Dallas, Texas ORIGINAL PAGE Type and Description (Cont'd) (F) Federal Government Transport Plan (FGTP) (Cont'd) (5) Moves and Upgrades (a) When a DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service circuit is moved to a different building prior to completion of the minimum twenty-four month service period, no nonrecurring charges will be levied against the disconnected FGTP DS1 High Capacity service; however, full nonrecurring charges as specified in preceding for DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service will be assessed at the new location for the reestablished service. Nonrecurring charges as specified in 7.4.5(A) are applicable for moves of DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) Service provided under a FGTP arrangement within the same building. (b) In the case of upgrades to a higher order service occurring prior to completion of the minimum twenty-four month commitment period, nonrecurring charges appropriate for installation of a new DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service, as specified in preceding, will apply for those rate elements converted to a higher order service. A customer may upgrade DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service rate elements included in a FGTP arrangement to a higher order of service provided under an Optional Payment Plan (i.e., a Transport Payment Plan arrangement), and request a reduction in the FGTP arrangement commitment level without incurring a termination liability. The customer request for the DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service being upgraded from an FGTP arrangement must be coordinated with the installation of the higher order of service. When a customer upgrades a portion of the DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service rate elements provided under a FGTP arrangement, the customer must enter into a new FGTP arrangement to reflect the revised commitment level. The revised commitment level must be equal to or greater than the current commitment level less the quantity of FGTP DS1 High Capacity services upgraded. When all DS1 High Capacity (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA DS1 High Capacity) service elements provided under a FGTP arrangement are upgraded, no termination liability is applicable.
