Parties has been within +-5% of equilibrium (50%) for 3 consecutive months, Bill and Keep shall be<br />
implemented prospectively as the reciprocal compensation arrangement for Qualifying Traffic so<br />
long as Qualifying Traffic exchanged remains within +/-5% of equilibrium (“In Balance”). Cricket<br />

4.2.2.2.4, 4.2.2.2.5, 4.2.2.2.6, 4.2.2.2.7, 4.2.2.2.8, 4.2.2.2.9, and 4.2.2.2.10 consistent with the<br />

21 of the General Terms and Conditions of this <strong>Agreement</strong>, the Parties will implement any such<br />
modification via an amendment to this <strong>Agreement</strong> pursuant to the timelines and procedures set<br />
forth therein. Both Parties reserve their rights to modify this language pursuant to any appeals<br />
resulting from Docket No. U-31350.<br />
4.2.2.2.1 The calculation for determining whether traffic is In Balance will be based on the<br />
difference between the total Qualifying Traffic originated by each Parties End Users<br />
terminated to the other Parties End Users, divided by the sum of both Parties’ End<br />
Users’ terminated Qualifying Traffic multiplied by 100.<br />
4.2.2.2.2 If bill and keep is implemented pursuant to subsection 4.2.2.2 above and Qualifying<br />
Traffic is thereafter determined to be not In Balance for three (3) consecutive months,<br />
bill and keep shall no longer apply and $0.0007 per MOU shall immediately apply to all<br />
Qualifying Traffic.<br />
4.2.2.2.3 Once $0.0007 applies to Qualifying Traffic pursuant to subsection 4.2.2.2.2 above, it will<br />
apply for the remaining term of this <strong>Agreement</strong>.
