between both parties no payment will be made.
B. Additional dark fiber requests will be considered on d case-by-case basis. Extendingdark fiber outside the City or County may not be in eithers best interest. Both parties
stipulate and understand that they havc the right to deny adding additional dark fiber

disconnecting party will not incur costs because of the unequal share of dark fiber being
used until the term of the Agreement has expired.

facility, and its replacement by a new facility, contained in Section V.C hereinabove,may only be exercised five (5) times during the term of this Agreement.
