12.2.2 In accordance with BellSouth’s Operational Understanding Guide, TC SYTEMS
will subscribe to the email list server in order to receive email notifications on a
24X7 basis of BellSouth service disruptions that meet the criteria for FCC reportable
events. BellSouth will use the same thresholds, processes and schedule for notifying
TC SYTEMS as it does for internal purposes. The email notification shall consist of
the same information that BellSouth provides to the FCC in reporting on an
unplanned network outage. BellSouth will include all information available to
BellSouth at the time such report is submitted, including but not limited to: (a)
central office or offices affected; (b) OSS application or CLLI affected; (c)
geographic area(s) affected; (d) description of trouble; and (e) date and time of
trouble.
12.2.3 TC SYTEMS may submit a request to the BellSouth CISC for a subsequent email
report, which BellSouth will provide to TC SYTEMS as soon as BellSouth has such
information following such outage and no later than 30 days following the unplanned
network outage.
12.2.4 As needed, TC SYTEMS may request that the Parties meet to share contact
information and review BellSouth’s outage restoral processes and notification
processes.
12.3 Notice of Changes Section 251(c)(5)
12.3.1 If BellSouth makes a change in the information necessary for the transmission and
routing of services using BellSouth’s network, or any other change in its network
which it believes will materially affect the interoperability of its network with TC
SYTEMS’s network, BellSouth shall provide at least ninety (90) days advance
written notice of such change to TC SYTEMS, and shall use all reasonable efforts to
provide at least one hundred eighty (180) days notice where practicable, provided,
however that if a longer period of notice is required by the FCC’s or Commission’s
rule, including, e.g., the Network Disclosure rules set forth in the FCC Regulations.

BellSouth shall jointly develop an implementation and grooming process which shall
define and detail, inter alia,

availability and quality which is comparable to that achieved on interoffice trunks
