BK: 2901 PG: 1154 <br />A TRUE COPY <br />CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE <br />J.R. SMITH, CLERK <br />which was contributed to the NETWORK shall remain in service if continuation is <br />necessary for the NETWORK. However, the withdrawing member may charge for use <br />of such assets, which charges .shall be consistent with the amount charged similar <br />customers for like usage. Such costs shall be paid by the remaining members in <br />proportion to their revised ownership interest in the NETWORK. <br />Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, any member <br />may, in its sole discretion, sell or dispose of all or any part its infrastructure or assets the <br />use of which was contributed to the NETWORK so long as such sale or disposal shall <br />not cause an interruption in operation or use of the NETWORK. However, the <br />disposition of a member's assets to a third -party which results in the institution of <br />charges to the CONSORTIUM or any member for use of such assets shall not be <br />deemed an interruption in operation or use of the NETWORK and shall be permitted. <br />SECTION 6. NETWORK Use. <br />Each member may use its NETWORK fibers for any purpose and in any manner it <br />desires so long as such use does not interfere with the fair and reasonable use of the <br />NETWORK by the other members and licensed third -parties, individually or collectively. <br />Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a member from licensing its own fiber or <br />capacity to third -parties so long as it is in accordance with all applicable laws and <br />regulations and not in conflict with this Agreement. <br />SECTION 7. Sectionalization, Apportionment, and Fiber Allocation. <br />A. Sectionalization and Apportionment. <br />In addition to the other reporting requirements provided herein, in order to <br />accurately apportion the revenues that may be derived from the NETWORK, as <br />well as the costs associated with its operation and maintenance, each unique <br />section of the NETWORK shall be identified with information that will enable <br />determination of the proportion of each member's ownership interest in the <br />NETWORK and each member's corresponding percentage share in revenues <br />and costs. The distance measurement to be used for apportionment shall be <br />Fiber KiloFeet (FKF). The apportionment of member ownership in a NETWORK <br />section shall be based on the number of fibers each member owns in the <br />particular section. <br />At Reconciliation, a unique section shall be assigned or appropriately modified <br />for each portion of the NETWORK whenever there has been a change in the <br />size, year of placement, structure, or ownership from the preceding <br />Reconciliation. Unless otherwise agreed by Staff, miscellaneous items <br />associated with a section, minor variations within the section, or minor changes <br />made to the section after it is originally established need not be a consideration <br />in the identification of sections. For example, if in 1999 a particular span of 36 <br />fiber cable placed in 1985 is damaged and that one span of fiber optic cable is <br />replaced with a piece of 72 fiber cable that was available on hand, the <br />appropriate footage, year of placement, method of placement, size, etc. for such <br />Page 4 of 19 <br />20I5.2.06.Edited.Fiber Optic Agreement.CLEAN.doc <br />
