pursuing good faith negotiations for a Subsequent Agreement or a transition plan
from this Agreement, except as expressly provided, neither Party shall refuse to
provide services to the other Party during the negotiation of the Subsequent
Agreement or the transition from this Agreement to the Subsequent Agreement.
2.5 In the event that AT&T’s standard interconnection agreement becomes effective
between the Parties, the Parties may continue to negotiate a Subsequent
Agreement or arbitrate disputed issues to reach a Subsequent Agreement as set
forth in Section 2.3 above, and the terms of such Subsequent Agreement shall be
effective as of the effective date stated in such Subsequent Agreement and shall
not be applied retroactively to the expiration date of this Agreement unless the
Parties agree otherwise.
2.6 To the extent BHN is not exchanging traffic with AT&T, or BHN has not
submitted orders pursuant to this Agreement within one-hundred-eighty (180) days
of the Effective Date, AT&T may at any time terminate this Agreement upon thirty
(30) days written notice to BHN. Additionally, if AT&T learns that BHN has
ceased doing business in all states covered by this Agreement, AT&T may
immediately terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this section only, AT&T
may rely on the following sources to identify whether BHN has ceased doing
business in a state: (1) written notice from BHN stating that BHN has ceased
operations in a state, or (2) any filings, public notices, decisions or orders available
from a Commission, the FCC or a court of competent jurisdiction.
3. Operational Support Systems
BHN shall pay charges for Operational Support Systems (OSS) as set forth in this
Agreement in Attachment 1 and/or in Attachments 2, 3 and 6 as applicable.
4. Parity
The services and service provisioning that AT&T provides BHN for resale will be
at least equal in quality to that provided to AT&T, or any AT&T subsidiary,
affiliate or end user. In connection with resale, AT&T will provide BHN with preordering,
ordering, maintenance and trouble reporting, and daily usage data
functionality that will enable BHN to provide equivalent levels of customer service
to their local exchange customers as AT&T provides to its own end users. AT&T
shall also provide BHN with unbundled network elements, and access to those
elements, that is at least equal in quality to that which AT&T provides AT&T, or
any AT&T subsidiary, affiliate or other CLEC, including preordering, ordering,
provisioning, maintenance and trouble reporting, and daily usage functionality.
Each Party will provide number portability to its customers with minimum
impairment of functionality, quality, reliability and convenience.
