Page 16<br />

No rule of construction requiring interpretation against the drafting Party hereof<br />

shall apply in the interpretation of this Agreement.<br />

21 Headings of No Force or Effect<br />

The headings of Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of<br />

reference only, and shall in no way define, modify or restrict the meaning or<br />

interpretation of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.<br />

22 Multiple Counterparts<br />

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be<br />

deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same<br />

document.<br />

23 Filing of Agreement<br />

This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, shall be filed with the appropriate<br />

state regulatory agency pursuant to the requirements of Section 252 of the Act, or<br />

as otherwise required by the state and the Parties shall share equally in any<br />

applicable fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be<br />

submitted for approval by the appropriate state regulatory agency unless and until<br />

such time as OTI is duly certified as a local exchange carrier in such state, except<br />

as otherwise required by a Commission.<br />

24 Compliance with Law<br />

The Parties have negotiated their respective rights and obligations pursuant to<br />

substantive Federal and State <strong>Telecommunications</strong> law and this Agreement is<br />

intended to memorialize the Parties’ mutual agreement with respect to each Party’s<br />

rights and obligations under the Act and applicable FCC and Commission orders,<br />

rules and regulations. Nothing contained herein, nor any reference to applicable<br />

rules and orders, is intended to expand on the Parties’ rights and obligations as set<br />

forth herein. To the extent the provisions of this Agreement differ from the<br />

provisions of any Federal or State <strong>Telecommunications</strong> statute, rule or order, this<br />

Agreement shall control. Each Party shall comply at its own expense with all other<br />

laws of general applicability.<br />

25 Necessary Approvals<br />

Each Party shall be responsible for obtaining and keeping in effect all approvals<br />

from, and rights granted by, governmental authorities, building and property<br />

owners, other carriers, and any other persons that may be required in connection<br />

with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall<br />

reasonably cooperate with the other Party in obtaining and maintaining any<br />

required approvals and rights for which such Party is responsible.<br />
