THE NETWORK
A DESCRIPTION
The Network is a state-of-the-art, self-healing broadband network linking
Europe's largest cities. It can carry 80 Gbps of traffic on each ring. Built and
operated by France Telecom with its affiliates, the Network will span 20,000 km
to interconnect 40 cities in 16 countries with seamless links, and be accessible
from over 250 major urban and business centres throughout Europe.
With the exception of France, the strategy of France Telecom is not to build all
of the infrastructure (fibre) but rather to buy Indefeasible Right of Usage in
fibre optics systems from other providers. For financial and regulatory
purposes, France Telecom has bought these Indefeasible Rights of Use through
long term commercial agreements with its European affiliates. However, France
Telecom is fully responsible for the architecture and engineering of the EBN. In
this scope, France Telecom has selected and implemented along the fibre its own
WDM and SDH equipment.

The solution used to carry the Wavelengths between Grantor's POP and the
Purchaser's PoPs consists in building a DWDM ring. Grantor proposes an ((
unprotected )) engineering.
Grantor shall be responsible for the Access Wavelengths which arrive at St Amand
and Monstouris and Pastourelle.
2.2 TECHNICAL FEATURES
- -- WDM ring enables to carry 32 protected (lambda) (or 64 unprotected
(lambda))
23
- -- Band : 4(LAMBDA)
- -- 200 GHz spacing : DENSE WDM
- -- Channel Protection : 1 + 1 (switching less than 50ms)
- -- Required alimentation : 2 different & independent sources
- -- Nortel equipment manager linked to the NOC via IP network.
- -- OPTera Metro uses 3R regeneration (Repeat, Reshape and Retime) at all data
rates.
- -- Each band (= 4(lambda)) is considered as a logical sub-ring
- -- All the used bands in a ring are not systematically present on each site.
1.2.1 OPTICAL BUDGET NOTION
-- a present band on a site is systematically regenerated
-- an absent band on a site is called a (pass through) one
- it is not regenerated
- its optical budget enables this band to reach the next
destination site.
-- when the band number becomes considerable, optical amplifiers might
be used.
2.3 PRODUCTION PROCESS FOR THE ACCESS WAVELENGTH IN PARIS
-- A Program Manager will be designated in both Grantor and purchaser
teams.
-- Site survey will be organised as soon as possible to identify
actions for both parties.
-- The initial implementation delay is 3,5 months, because it is
necessary to take into account the following main tasks:
- replace all the old connectors on the route by SC/APC
equal to or greater than 1 month
- to make PMD's measures to characterise the route equal
to or greater than 0,5 month
- Installation and starting Nortel equal to or greater
than 2 months
-- To add Wavelengths:
- if there are Footprint available: 15 working days
- otherwise: between 6 and 8 weeks (procedure of
insertion, planning of scheduled works, etc.)
-- The engineering design will be compliant to add Wavelengths for a
maximum of 32 Wavelengths (protected or not).
2.4 NOC ORGANIZATION
-- The NOC Montsouris (based in Paris) is in charge of supervising and
operating the DWDM ring in Paris.
-- NOC Montsouris will be in contact with the Blagnac NOC which
supervises the Capacity.
-- Purchaser will dispose of a single point of contact through the CSPI
who deals directly with these 2 NOCs.

Where Grantor has two POPs in a given city, and Purchaser is taking at least two
Wavelengths, Grantor shall be entitled to terminate the Wavelengths at separate
POPs to ensure diversity. Where Purchaser purchases only one Wavelength
initially, Grantor shall connect such Wavelength to both POPs until the RFS Date
for the second Wavelength.
25
(1) These POPs are still being deployed. Grantor shall provide Purchaser with
these second POPs within 9 months of the Signature Date.
(2) Grantor shall extend the Wavelength from the Madrid 1 to Madrid 2 within 4
months of the Date of Signature of this Agreement. Initially, Grantor
shall provide a fibre solution to extend the Wavelengths from Madrid 1 to
Madrid 2. Such fibre solution shall be included in the Purchase Price.
Given that the fibre solution does not meet Purchaser's resiliency
requirements, Purchaser shall be entitled to procure diverse capacity from
a third party supplier. In parallel, the Parties shall complete a joint
study of a Lambda solution which would involve the use of a DWDM layer on
the domestic network of Uni2 and would create a fully diverse route from
Barcelona to Madrid 2.The findings of the joint study shall written up in
a report to be completed within one month of the Date of Signature.
Following the report, the Purchaser shall decide whether or not to order
the Lambda solution taking into consideration any additional costs,
ability to deliver, etc. Purchaser shall always have the option to use
only one POP on the Network and improve the resiliency by adding third
party capacity.

SERVICES LEVEL AGREEMENT
Grantor commits to provide services based on leading standard level of quality
of service. Therefore, redress applies in the event that quality parameters are
not met.
1. SERVICE DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE
Service Delivery is defined as the period between the Service Order Form
Acceptance Date, as defined below, and the RFS Date for such Wavelength. A
Service Order Form is required for each requested Wavelength and Wavelength
Ring.
Purchaser shall work with Grantor for 5 Working Days to develop the information
to be included in the Service Order Form for the Wavelengths and the Co-location
Services and to co-ordinate the Requested Delivery Date for both.
The Co-location sites shall be made available one week before the delivery of
the Wavelength's to allow for the installation of Purchaser's telecommunications
equipment prior to delivery of the Wavelengths.
Requests for Service are initiated by Purchaser sending to Grantor's Account
Manager, via fax, post-mail or e-mail the completed Service Order Form given in
Schedule 8.
Grantor's Account Manager will acknowledge within two (2) Working Day of receipt
of the Service Order Form, via fax or e-mail, that a Service Order Form has been
received. If key information is missing on the Service Order Form, Purchaser
will be asked to provide it. Once such information is provided, the Service
Order Form is complete and such date constitutes the Service Order Form
Acceptance Date ("SOF Acceptance Date").
1.1 DELIVERY OF CAPACITY
The Service Order Form shall include the Requested Delivery Date. The Requested
Delivery Date of a Wavelength and the Corresponding Wavelength Ring shall not be
situated prior to the Initial RFS Date for such Wavelength and Wavelength Ring.
The Committed Delivery Date shall be confirmed by Grantor and means the date on
which the Wavelength or Wavelength Ring has successfully met the RFS Standard
pursuant to Grantor's testing, and Grantor puts the Capacity at Purchaser's
disposition to complete Purchaser's acceptance testing. Grantor shall notify
Purchaser that the Wavelength or Wavelength Ring is at Purchaser's disposition
for testing in accordance with the procedure set forth in Schedule 7, Clause
2.0. The Committed Delivery Date that Grantor confirms shall be:
(i) Twenty (20) Working Days from the Service Order Form Acceptance Date for
the Service Order Form requesting the activation of such Wavelength and
Co-location Services; or
(ii) for the last Wavelength to complete a Corresponding Wavelength Ring, an
additional ten (10) Working Days from the Committed Delivery Date for the
last Wavelength and Co-location Services on such Corresponding Wavelength
Ring.
Where a Wavelength Ring has been activated, Grantor shall not be obliged to
deliver another Wavelength on the same Wavelength Ring prior to ninety (90) days
from the RFS Date of the
28
previous Wavelength on such Wavelength Ring, except where grantor has agreed
otherwise in writing.
1.2. ACCEPTANCE TESTING PROCEDURE
1.2.1 (a) Grantor shall make each Wavelength available to Purchaser
for five (5) Working Days from the Committed Delivery Date or
the date set forth in section 1.2.3 below for Purchaser to
perform its acceptance testing to ensure that the Wavelength
meets the RFS Standard.
(b) Grantor shall make each Wavelength Ring available to Purchaser
for ten (10) Working Days from the Committed Delivery Date of
the last Wavelength in such Wavelength Ring or the date set
forth in section 1.2.3 below for Purchaser to perform its
acceptance testing to ensure that the Wavelength Ring meets
the RFS Standard.
1.2.2 The acceptance testing will be performed in a two-step procedure:
(i) Acceptance testing POP to POP: each Wavelength Ring will be
tested according to RFS Standard between Grantor's Sites, with
the exception of the Wavelengths terminating in Paris, where,
when provided by Grantor, the Paris access will be included in
the testing.
(ii) Continuity testing: Grantor shall co-operate with Purchaser
to End to End testing between Purchaser's customers' sites.
1.2.3 When Purchaser successfully completes its acceptance testing POP to POP
and the Wavelengths and Wavelength Ring meet the RFS Standard, it shall
notify Grantor and this shall constitute the RFS Date. The Purchase
Price for each Wavelength Ring shall be paid on the RFS Date of such
Wavelength Ring. Billing of OA&M Charges shall start from the RFS Date.
1.2.4 If Purchaser notifies Grantor that the Wavelengths or Wavelength Ring
do not meet the RFS Standard, Grantor shall be given ten (10) Working
Days to correct the defect. On the expiry of the ten (10) Working Days
period Purchaser shall be given ten (10) Working Days to perform its
acceptance tests and the procedure set forth in this section 1.2 shall
continue to apply until the Wavelengths and Wavelength Ring meet the
RFS Standard.
1.2.5 If Purchaser has not communicated either a positive or negative
response to Grantor within ten (10) Working Days of the Committed
Delivery Date of the relevant Wavelength or Wavelength Ring, Grantor
shall give Notice to Purchaser that the acceptance testing period has
expired without communication from Purchaser. If an additional ten (10)
Working Days pass without communication from Purchaser, Grantor shall
be entitled to invoice Purchaser for such Wavelength or Wavelength Ring
(including OA&M fees). Any outage or defect on the Capacity shall be
handled through the Customer Support Center process set forth in Clause
8.

READY FOR SERVICE STANDARD
WAVE DIVISION MULTIPLEXING (WDM) SERVICES TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE PROTOCOL
The testing and reporting activities that shall be performed are:
- -- Optical interface BIS tests
- -- End-to-end BIS tests of optical channel trail
Acceptance testing shall include the local loop to ensure interoperability of
the Capacity with the local loop.
1. BRINGING INTO SERVICE (BIS) TESTS
The Capacity service provided by Grantor in the form of Wave Division
Multiplexing ("WDM") services consists of a number of optical channel trails.
Each optical channel trail is set up through the Supplier Optical Transport
Network (OTN) across one or more concatenated point-to-point WDM links. The
wavelength service is terminated in the demarcation Optical Distribution Frames
(ODF) between Grantor and Purchaser. Figure1 illustrates the concept of a
point-to-point WDM link and figure 2 illustrates the concept of an optical
channel trail.
[GRAPHIC]
FIGURE 1: OPEN POINT-TO-POINT WDM LINK. EQUIPMENT USING G.957 INTERFACES CAN BE
INTERCONNECTED TO THE WDM TERMINAL MULTIPLEXERS VIA TRANSPONDERS.
[GRAPHIC]
FIGURE 2: OPTICAL CHANNEL TRAIL CROSSING TWO POINT-TO-POINT WDM LINKS USING A
BACK-TO-BACK CONFIGURATION. THE OPTICAL CHANNEL TRAIL CONSUMES ONE WAVELENGTH
CHANNEL ON EACH OF THE TWO LINKS. IN-LINE AMPLIFIERS ARE NOT REPRESENTED.
1.1 OPTICAL INTERFACE BIS TESTS
The goal of this test is to verify the optical interfaces of the optical channel
trail at its two termination transponders. The tests will be performed at the
demarcation point of the optical channel trail, which will be the Purchaser's
ODF. These test results will be reported to Purchaser, however the optical
interface tests of possible intermediate transponders will not be reported to
him.
1.1.1 WDM channel output (Rx board) power measurement:
Connect Power Meter at Supplier ODF to WDM Rx board of the
appropriate channel
1.1.2 WDM channel input (Tx board) power range measurement:
During this test, the output power of the test set will be
set so as to verify that the test is passed pursuant to the
specifications, measured at the Supplier ODF.
36
1.2 End-to-end BIS tests of optical channel trail.
1.2.1 Test objectives
As a consequence of the recommendation status, two types of BIS tests
will be performed:
- - End-to-end BIS test at STM-16 Multiplex Section level.
- - End-to-end BIS test at VC-4 path level.
Only test equipment will be used to perform the BIS test. There will be no SDH
equipment (e.g. ADM, DXC) involved in the test configuration. The BIS test will
be performed for each of the wavelengths individually, possibly concurrently for
a 24-hour period. If the objectives set forth herein have not been met at this
point, after localization of the fault the BIS test shall be repeated
concurrently for another 24-hour period.
1.2.1.1 End-to-end BIS test at STM-16 Multiplex Section level.
The error performance limits for the end-to-end BIS test at the STM-16 Multiplex
Section level for a 24-hour period are:
- - ES objectives are not applicable
- - SES objective is = 0
1.2.1.2 End-to-end BIS test at VC4 path level.
The end-to-end BIS test for the VC4 path level will be performed for one VC4
path only. The error performance definitions and error performance parameters
and limits for the end-to-end BIS of the VC4 path are respectively fully
specified in ITU G.826, G.828, M.2110 and M.2101. For each of these tests, the
following VC4 Path Objectives for ES and SES thresholds will be used.
VC-4 LINK

S1 S2 S1 S2
----- ------ ----- -----
1,5% 6 20 0 2
3% 16 36 0 4
5% 30 56 0 5
The allocation is based on path length (d):
d Less than or = 1000km path allocation = 1.5%
1000 less than d less than or equal 2500km path allocation = 3%
d greater than 2500km path allocation = 5%

5% NA NA 0 5
1.3 JITTER MEASUREMENT
A jitter measurement will not be systematically performed. However, jitter on a
WDM service shall always be within the "Network Limits for jitter" defined in
the ITU standard ITU-T G 825. If during
37
the acceptance period or the operation of the service, Purchaser notices a
jitter out of the ITU standard ITU-T G 825, WDM service may be returned to
Grantor for correction.
TEST CONFIGURATION
A per direction test configuration will be used.
[GRAPHIC]
Upon Grantor's request and mutual agreement of the Parties, one of the two
testers may be replaced by a hard-ware loop for the end-to-end BIS tests of
optical channel trail and for the jitter measurement.
1.3 Round Trip Delay (RTD) Measurement
A loop configuration is used to perform this measurement (a
tester at one extremity of the optical channel, a hardware
loop at the other extremity).
Grantor will provide Purchaser with the measured RTD of the
optical channel.
It can be measured from either side of the channel.
It corresponds to 2 times the propagation delay in the
channel (time for a signal to be transmitted from the Tester
to the hardware loop and return).
THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE VALUE FOR THIS MEASUREMENT, WHICH IS PROVIDED FOR
INFORMATION.
2.0 TEST PROCEDURE
The test procedure consists of performance of the following steps:
1. Committing to BIS
2. Tester set-up
3. Performing BIS end-to-end test between POPs
- - Circuit check
- - Perform round-trip delay measurement at VC4 level
- - Perform 15 minutes performance test
- - Perform 24 hours performance test (concurrent measurement of STM-16
multiplex section and one VC4 path)
- - - If either the end-to-end BIS at STM-16 multiplex section level or
the end-to-end BIS test at VC4 path level does not meet the objectives
set forth above then the fault is localized and the previous step
(i.e. 24 hours performance test) is repeated
- - Writing down the BIS report
When all tests are successful, Grantor shall provide Purchaser
with a report which details the results of the tests described
in ss. 1:
- Output power, extremity A
- Input range, extremity A,
38
- Output power, extremity B,
- Input range, extremity B,
- 24 hours BIS test at STM-16 MS level,
- 24 hours BIS test at VC4 path level,
- Jitter measurement
- RTD measurement
The report shall be sent by Fax and e-mail to the Project Managers identified on
the SOF
