About this file
This is Contract Amendment No. 6 to Contract 505ENT-M11-HICAPCENT-01 between the State of Wisconsin Division of Enterprise Technology and CenturyLink Sales Solutions, Inc., a Colorado-based corporation headquartered in Denver. The amendment was executed in January 2017 and adds diversity options to CenturyLink's existing Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) services under the Hi Capacity Local Voice Trunking Communications Services contract.
The amendment specifically adds a Domestic Network Diversity Service Exhibit that allows CenturyLink to provide enhanced routing options for underlying telecommunications services. The diversity service provides multiple routing configurations including Card Diversity, Device Diversity, Single Circuit Diversity, Switch Diversity, and Transport Diversity across CenturyLink's domestic network infrastructure. The University of Wisconsin Madison requested Transport Diversity to add an additional path from their location to a Chicago Point of Presence (POP). The amendment maintains all existing contract terms and pricing structures while expanding service capabilities to include these diversity enhancements for improved network redundancy and reliability. Billing begins once circuits are available for testing with diversity features activated, and the service is offered subject to technical feasibility and network availability.

"IP POP" is a CenturyLink POP where IP edge routers are located on the CenturyLink Domestic Network and Networking Service is available.
"IP POP Diversity" means the diverse circuit that originates and/or terminates in a physically separate IP POP from the primary circuit.
"CenturyLink POP" means a point of presence ("POP") on the CenturyLink Domestic Network.
"CenturyLink Domestic Network" means the CenturyLink operated facilities located within the 48 contiguous states that consist of transport POPs, physical media, switches, circuits, and/or ports that are operated solely by CenturyLink.
"Single Circuit Diversity" unless otheiwise stated in this Service Exhibit, means an individual circuit on the CenturyLink Domestic Network that either: (a) is routed to, or; (b) avoids a specified geographic location along the circuit's path between the originating and terminating CenturyLink transport POP buildings, subject to availability.

2. Service.
2.1 Description. Diversity is an enhanced routing option that routes an Underlying Service according to either: (a) a Customer defined routing between two or more diversely related circuit(s); or (b) a predefined path that either routes to or avoids a specified geographic location on the circuit path ("Single Circuit Diversity") according to Customer's requirements, unless otheiwise noted below;
and (c) identifies and maintains the diversely routed circuit(s) in the CenturyLink provisioning systems, until the Service is cancelled.
Diversity does not provide switching and/or routing of Customer's digital transmissions between primary and diversely routed circuits in the event of a failure on any one circuit or port. CenturyLink only offers protection switching, if any, inherent with the Underlying Services. The Diversity options described in this Service Exhibit are subject to availability and technical feasibility. The SLA is effective as of the first day of the second month after initial installation of Service. The SLA provides Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for service interruptions or service deficiencies of any kind whatsoever for the Service. CenturyLink's Underlying Services include:
Domestic Private Line Service, EPL, Optical Wavelength Networking Service (including Internet Ports, Private Ports, and Enhanced Ports), ATM Service, Frame Relay Service, Dedicated Domestic Outbound/Inbound Long Distance Service ("Long Distance"), and related Local Access Service.

If a Centurylink-initiated network rearrangement removes the Customer's diversity, then Centurylink will notify Customer to determine alternative Diversity solutions, if any.
(c) Customer may experience increased latency on diversely routed circuit(s) as a result of increased actual routing mileage.
(d) Single Diverse Circuit Additional Mileage Charges. If Centurylink, in its sole discretion, determines that Customer's specified geographic routing criteria on a Single Circuit Diversity request results in excessive additional mileage, Centurylink may charge Customer actual mileage charges on the Underlying Seivice.
(e) Customer acknowledges that diverse circuits must have traffic on them in order for Centurylink to monitor connectivity.
3. Charges. Customer will pay all charges set forth in a valid quote sheet attached to the Order Form for Diversity or in a Pricing Attachment, in addition to the charges for the Underlying Seivices. If backhaul routing is required to complete Customer's Diversity order for Networking (including Internet Ports, Private Ports, and Enhanced Ports) ATM Seivice, Frame Relay Seivice, or Long Distance, Customer will pay the backhaul charges for each diversely routed circuit and for iQ Networking seivice, the Backhaul Pricing Attachment will be attached to this Seivice Exhibit. Billing will begin once the circuit is available for testing or use by Customer with the Diversity activated or once Diversity has been added to an existing circuit. List rates will be used to calculate Contributory Charges.
The Seivice is not entitled to the QTA Discount.
•The DS-1s within an Nx bundle must all connect to the same POP.
