ALL TEL shall use the PASP application (identified as ALLTEL Software in Exhibit H) to create "type 9299" summary records for Client's Access Lines located in Oklahoma and Texas ("PASP Services"). The PASP application is an AS/400 based wireline clearinghouse-Hke application that reads "type 9201" records from ALLTEL's Customer Account Management System (CAMS) and creates "type 9299" summary records. Type 9201 records are toll detail records containing among other information, originating NPA-NXX, tenninating NPA-NXX, and call duration. By processing these 9201 toll detail records through the PASP application and referencing a number of tables, PASP creates 9299 summary records. These 9299 summary records contain an originating NPA-NXX, and originating CLLI code, a terminating NPA-NXX, a 1 tenninating CLLI code and up to eight (8) transiting NECA codes. These NECA codes identify ownership based upon call paths and distribute that information to each owner. This will provide Client the ability to bill other telcos based upon the amount of time Client carried such other telcos' toll calls." 4.
