31. CTC will perform any other responsibilities as mutually agreed in
writing between the Parties.
6. ATM SVC Implementation
6.1 ANI Support
On behalf of CTC, Telcordia will work with ANI to develop an interface
document entitled "Gateway Interface" which will describe the protocol
interface and the functional handling of features between the Licensed
Software and ANI's gateways.  Telcordia will provide ANI a behavioral
document entitled "Behavioral Requirements" describing the expected
performance of ANI gateways.
6.2 ANI Testing
On behalf of CTC, Telcordia will perform protocol testing of ANI provided
equipment using Licensed Software simulators against the Gateway Interface.
Protocol testing will include communication over a xGCP interface, as defined
by Telcordia.  Pursuant to the Detailed Project Plan, CTC will insure that
ANI provides, or CTC will provide, the ANI gateway equipment as part of the
Network Components at least three (3) weeks prior to Telcordia's commencement
of the protocol testing. Telcordia will notify CTC in advance as to when such
testing will commence. Telcordia shall perform this work at Telcordia's NJ
facilities.
6.3 SVC Decision
It is expected that CTC's network design will require an ATM network using
SVC to the end points.  The operation of CTC's ATM SVC network is dependent
on three (3) companies delivering SVC capable technology prior to lab network
integration testing, as stated in the Detailed Project Plan. CTC will use
commercially reasonable efforts to insure that Cisco provides the ATM SVC
backbone, and that ANI provides the Access Gateways and the premises
Integrated Access Device (" IADs"), and Telcordia will provide the Licensed
Software. ATM SVC networks are based on emerging technology which has not yet
been deployed in production networks.  In order to meet CTC's deployment
schedules, as stated in the Detailed Project Plan, CTC shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to insure that Cisco and ANI commit to schedules for
production versions of their ATM SVC products by June 30, 2000.  If CTC is
unable to insure that Cisco and ANI meet these commitments, the network
design may need to be modified to an IP based solution.  The decision to
deploy an IP solution may impact the Detailed Project Plan.  The reasonable
and direct cost impact for any resulting delays will be borne by CTC.

8. ASSUMPTIONS
1. The PMO shall be empowered to make rapid decisions or escalate items
appropriately.
2. Any extension of this Work Statement beyond the Production Project Period
will require a Change Order to document a modification of Telcordia's fee
and/or performance under this Work Statement reasonably related to the
requested extension.
3. Telcordia will be performing protocol testing of ANI equipment in
accordance with the Gateway Interface only.
4. CTC will be performing feature testing of ANI equipment.
5. Other than services related to Acceptance Testing to be performed by
Telcordia pursuant to Section 4.6 hereto, all other testing services, such
as interoperability testing, network validation testing, system validation
testing, shall be performed by CTC.
6.	In the event of scheduling slippage to the Detailed Project Plan for reasons
outside of Telcordia's control, so long as Telcordia takes commercially
reasonable steps to minimize the length or impact of such slippage, Telcordia
may modify the Detailed Project Plan, Price and/or performance under this
Work Statement to cover resulting additional fees to Telcordia reasonably
related to the requested extension.
7. All test plans must be reviewed and approved by Telcordia for relevance
against the Telcordia Licensed Software capabilities, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
6. Telcordia, or its contractor, will install all Third Party Hardware and
Third Party Software consistent with the then current Telcordia
installation guides.
