NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter set forth, Company and Customer agree as follows: 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCED 911 SERVICE Universal emergency number service to be provided under this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Service" or "E911 Service ") is a telecommunications exchange service which routes 911 dialed calls to a Customer designated Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). 2. SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCED 911 SERVICE The E911 Service to be provided to Customer by Company is an enhanced 911 service which will include the following: (See Exhibit A for locations and pricing used in this Agreement). E911 FEATURES A. Selective Routing (SR). In the case of multiple PSAPs, this feature provides for routing of an E911 call to a designated primary PSAP based on the identified tele- phone number of the calling party. B. Automatic Number Identification (ANI). This feature provides for visual display of the calling party's telephone number at the PSAP location. C. Automatic Location Identification (ALI). This feature provides for visual display of the calling party's street address information based on ANI telephone number displayed at the PSAP location. D. Forced Disconnect. A feature of E911 Service that enables a PSAP attendant to terminate an existing 911 call at any time, regardless of the action of the calling party. E. Default Routing (DR). In the case of more than one PSAP, a feature activated when an incoming E911 call cannot be selectively routed due to an ANI failure, garbled digits or other causes. Such incoming calls are routed from the E911 control office to a default PSAP. Each incoming E911 facility group to the control office is assigned a default PSAP. F. Alternate Routing (AR). A feature provided to allow E911 calls to be routed to a designated alternate location if (1) all E911 exchange lines to the primary PSAP are busy, or (2) the primary PSAP closes down for a period (night service). G. Speed Call /Manual Transfer. A feature of E911 Service that enables the PSAP attendant to transfer an incoming call by depressing the switchhook of the associated telephone or the "add" button on the Display and Transfer Unit and dialing a 2 -digit Speed Calling Code to transfer a call. H. Central Office Transfer (COT). A feature of E911 Service used to transfer calls from a primary PSAP to other locations (if more than one PSAP). It consists of Speed Call /Manual Transfer and Fixed Transfer. Fixed transfer enables a PSAP attendant to transfer incoming E911 calls to a secondary PSAP by the use of a single button on the Display and Transfer Unit. 3. PROVISIONS OF SERVICE A. E911 Service is limited to the use of the number code 911 as the universal emergency number. The E911 Service to be provided pursuant to this Agreement will be the only E911 Service provided within the jurisdictional corporate boundaries of Customer. The E911 emergency number is not intended as a total replacement for the service of the various public safety agencies which participate in the use of this number. Customer may subscribe to other local exchange services at the PSAP locations for administrative purposes, for placing outgoing calls, and for receiving other calls. -2- B. E911 Service is furnished to the Customer only for the purpose of receiving reports of emergencies from the public. C. E911 Service is arranged for one -way incoming service to the appropriate PSAP. Outgoing calls can only be made on a transfer basis. D. E911 Service is provided solely for the benefit of the Customer operating the PSAP. The Company does not answer or forward 911 calls but furnishes the use of it facilities to enable the Customer's personnel, on the Customer's premises, to respond to such calls. Company will provide E911 information consisting of the names, telephone numbers and addresses of telephone customers, including those whose listings are not published in directories or listed on Directory Assistance as confidential. E. Temporary suspension of Service by Customer is not provided for E911 Service. F. Customer is responsible for identifying primary and secondary PSAP locations as well as the unique combination of police, fire and ambulance or any other appropriate agencies responsible for providing emergency service in the E911 serving area. An Emergency Service Number (ESN) will be provided by Company for each unique combination. Customer will associate these ESNs with street address ranges or other mutually agreed upon routing criteria in the E911 serving area. These ESNs will be carried in the Data Management System (DMS) to permit routing of 911 calls to the primary and secondary PSAPs responsible for handling of calls from each tele- phone in the E911 serving area. The following terms define Customer's responsibility in providing this information: 1. Initial and subsequent ESN assignments by street name, address range and area, or other mutually agreeable routing criteria shall be furnished by Customer to Company prior to the effective date of Service. 2. After the establishment of Service, it is Custom- er's responsibility to continue to verify the accuracy of the routing information contained in the master address file, and to advise Company of any changes in street names; establishment of new streets; changes in address numbers used on exist- ing streets; closing and abandonment of streets; changes in police, fire, ambulance, or other appro- priate agencies' jurisdiction over any address; annexations; and other changes in Customer's -3- boundaries; or any other matter that will affect the routing of 911 calls to the proper PSAP. Changes, deletions, and additions which Customer desires to have made in the master address file should be submitted to Company on an "as occurred" basis. When Customer provides Company with such modifications for the data base, Company will complete data base modification within forty -eight (48) hours of receipt, excluding Sundays and holidays and furnish a written copy to the Customer for verification showing each change, deletion, and addition to the master address file. 3. Company will provide to the Customer on request a complete written copy of the master address file to permit the Customer to verify accuracy of the police, fire and ambulance PSAP routing designa- tions. 4. 5. 4. The following attached Exhibits are incorporated herein: Exhibit B, definitions; Exhibit C, Data Base Preparation; Exhibit D, PSAP Coordinator Responsibilities; and Exhibit E, specific time - frames. Exhibit E will be completed after execution of this Agreement upon mutual consent of Customer and Company. COMPATIBILITY OF SERVICE WITH CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT A.
