under Section 252 of the Act or from other requirements of regulatory agencies or State law
(individually and collectively, a “Non-Voluntary Arrangement”). AT&T-13STATE has attempted
to mark the Non-Voluntary Arrangements in this Agreement with asterisks; however, any failure
to mark any Non-Voluntary Arrangement shall not be construed as evidence such provision is
not a Non-Voluntary Arrangement. If any Non-Voluntary Arrangement modified as a result of any
order or finding by the FCC, the appropriate Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction,
shall be subject to Section 15, “Intervening Law”.
2.10.2 The Parties acknowledge that the Non-Voluntary Arrangements contained in this Agreement
shall not be available in any state other than the State that originally imposed/required such Non-
Voluntary Arrangement.
2 .11 State-Specific Rates, Terms and Conditions
2.11.1 For ease of administration, this Agreement contains certain specified rates, terms and conditions
which apply only in a designated State ("State-Specific Terms"). To the extent that this
Agreement contains State-Specific Terms, such State-Specific Terms shall not apply and shall
have no effect in any other State(s) to which this Agreement is submitted for approval under
Section 252(e) of the Act.
2.11.2 State-Specific Terms, as the phrase is described in Section 2.11.1 above, have been negotiated
(or, in the case of 2.10.2 above, have been included in the Agreement per state requirement) by
the Parties only as to the States where this Agreement has been executed, filed and approved.
When the Parties negotiate an Interconnection agreement for an additional state, neither Party
shall be precluded by any language in this Agreement from negotiating State-Specific Terms for
the state in which they are to apply.
2 .12 Scope of Application
2.12.1 This Agreement may be negotiated for more than one State. However, this Agreement shall be
applied separately and distinctly to the Parties’ operations in each individual State.
2 .13 Scope of Obligations
2.13.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, AT&T-13STATE’s obligations under
this Agreement shall apply only to:
2.13.1.1 the specific operating area(s) or portion thereof in which AT&T-13STATE is then
deemed to be the ILEC under the Act (the “ILEC Territory”), and assets that AT&T-
13STATE owns or leases and which are used in connection with AT&T-13STATE’s
provision to WSP of any Interconnection products or services provided or contemplated
under this Agreement, the Act or any tariff or ancillary agreement referenced herein
(individually and collectively, the “ILEC Assets”).
2 .14 Affiliates
2.14.1 These General Terms and Conditions and all Attachments, Exhibits, Appendices, Schedules and
Addenda hereto constituting this Agreement, including subsequent amendments, if any, shall
bind AT&T-13STATE, WSP and any Affiliate of WSP. WSP further agrees that the same or
substantially the same terms and conditions shall be incorporated into any separate agreement
between AT&T-13STATE and any such Affiliate of WSP that continues to operate as a separate
entity. This Agreement shall remain effective as to WSP and any such Affiliate of WSP for the
Term of this Agreement until either AT&T-13STATE or WSP or any such Affiliate of WSP
institutes renegotiation, or this Agreement expires or terminates, pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will not supercede a currently
effective Interconnection agreement between any such Affiliate of WSP and AT&T-13STATE
until the earlier of the date when the other agreement has: 1) expired; 2) been noticed for
renegotiation pursuant the terms thereof; or 3) otherwise terminated provided; however, each
