Level Four Within ten days after receiving the Board’s decision at Level Three, the Association may submit the grievance to arbitration. The Association shall notify the Board of its intention to submit the matter to arbitration within this ten-day period. After such notification, the following procedure shall be followed: a. The Association shall make a written request for the grievance’s arbitration by requesting the American Arbitration Association to submit to the parties the names of at least nine qualified arbitrators. The parties shall select the arbitrator according to the rules of the AAA. b. Each party shall provide the other with a copy of its arbitration demand. c. The arbitrator shall have no power to amend, subtract from, or add to this Agreement’s terms. The parties’ past practice in interpreting or applying this Agreement’s terms may only be relevant if the Agreement’s language is vague or ambiguous. d. If either party claims before the arbitrator that a particular grievance fails to meet the test of arbitrability, as set forth in this Grievance Procedure, the arbitrator shall first rule on such claim and, if sustained, shall not proceed further except to render the decision based upon sustaining the claim. The arbitrator’s jurisdictional authority is defined as and limited to determining any grievance between the parties to the grievance which concerns compliance with any of this Agreement’s terms, as provided in Section A(I) of this Article, and submitted to the arbitrator pursuant to this Agreement’s terms. The arbitrator shall not have authority to render a decision on any issue not submitted under these grievance procedures. Unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator is limited to hearing only one grievance upon its merits at any one hearing. e. Neither party shall be permitted to assert in an arbitration proceeding any ground or to rely on any evidence not previously disclosed to the other party. At least ten days before the arbitration hearing the parties shall disclose (and provide copies of if at all possible) all exhibits, and a list of witnesses to be called and the anticipated nature of their testimony. f. The arbitrator’s decision on the grievance is binding and final. g. The cost of arbitration shall be divided equally between the Board and the Association. h. All documents, communications, and records dealing with the processing of a grievance shall be filed separately from the participant’s personnel file.
Amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement Upon, and subject to, the satisfaction or waiver in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Existing Credit Agreement of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: (a) The following new definition is included in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement in the proper alphabetical order as follows:
Number Resources, Rate Center Areas and Routing Points 13.1 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or otherwise adversely affect in any manner either Party’s right to employ or to request and be assigned any Central Office Codes (“NXX”) pursuant to the Central Office Code Assignment Guidelines and any relevant FCC or Commission orders, as may be amended from time to time, or to establish, by Tariff or otherwise, Rate Center Areas and Routing Points corresponding to such NXX codes. 13.2 It shall be the responsibility of each Party to program and update its own switches and network systems pursuant to information provided on ASRs as well as the LERG in order to recognize and route traffic to the other Party’s assigned NXX codes. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall impose any fees or charges whatsoever on the other Party for such activities. 13.3 Unless otherwise required by Commission order, the Rate Center Areas will be the same for each Party. During the term of this Agreement, Onvoy shall adopt the Rate Center Area and Rate Center Points that the Commission has approved for Frontier within the LATA and Tandem serving area. Onvoy shall assign whole NPA-NXX codes to each Rate Center Area unless otherwise ordered by the FCC, the Commission or another governmental entity of appropriate jurisdiction, or the LEC industry adopts alternative methods of utilizing NXXs. 13.4 Onvoy will also designate a Routing Point for each assigned NXX code. Onvoy shall designate one location for each Rate Center Area in which the Onvoy has established NXX code(s) as the Routing Point for the NPA-NXXs associated with that Rate Center Area, and such Routing Point shall be within the same LATA as the Rate Center Area but not necessarily within the Rate Center Area itself. Unless specified otherwise, calls to subsequent NXXs of Onvoy will be routed in the same manner as calls to ▇▇▇▇▇’s initial NXXs. 13.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed, to in any way constrain Onvoy’s choices regarding the size of the local calling area(s) that Onvoy may establish for its Customers, which local calling areas may be larger than, smaller than, or identical to Frontier’s local calling areas.
