Report and Order. The rates, terms and conditions (including rates which may be applicable under true-up) specified in both the GTE Terms and the OtherCLEC Terms are further subject to amendment, retroactive to the Effective Date of the Agreement, to provide for charges or rate adjustments resulting from future Commission or other proceedings, including but not limited to any generic proceeding to determine GTE's unrecovered costs (e.g., historic costs, contribution, undepreciated reserve deficiency, or similar unrecovered GTE costs (including GTE's end user surcharge)), the establishment of a competitively neutral universal service system, or any appeal or other litigation. If the Commission (or any other commission or federal or state court) in reviewing this Agreement pursuant to applicable state or federal laws, including Section 252(e) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, deletes or modifies in any way this Section 46, then the Parties agree that they will reopen negotiations within ten (10) days after receipt of the final decision making such deletion or modification in order to attempt to craft the new provision that will provide substantially the same protections to GTE and DTI as this Section 46. If the Parties cannot reach agreement on such a provision within twenty (20) calendar days thereafter, the Parties agree that this entire Agreement is void and will not become effective, and DTI agrees to withdraw this Agreement from consideration by the Commission (or any other commission or federal or state court). In such event, each Party shall have 25 days following the close of the 20-day negotiation period within which to file a petition for arbitration before the Commission under Section 252(e) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 of the issues that remain in dispute under this paragraph.
