A-3 <br />SPECIAL LANGUAGE FOR THE CITY OF GRANT FRANCHISE <br /> <br />In accordance with and subject to the procedures below, Grantee agrees to work with the City of <br />Grant to identify a build-out area within the City of Grant. The City of Grant, at its sole cost and <br />discretion, will solicit written expressions of interest in subscribing to Grantee’s services from <br />residents within the area depicted on the map above, describing those parts of the buildout that the <br />resident will be required to fund. The City of Grant will provide Grantee a list of addresses of <br />responding residents who have expressed interest. The City of Grant has the discretion to determine <br />which residential properties within the area depicted on the map above it will include in any <br />solicitation of written expressions of interest. Grantee will then provide the City of Grant a written <br />estimate of the portion of the cost to each such resident of building out the Cable System to serve <br />that customer. In its cost estimate, Grantee will itemize the cost of the Drop, the cost of the line <br />extension, and the cost of any line extension that must occur on the resident’s property in order to <br />provide Cable Service to that resident. Grantee’s estimates will be based on cost. <br /> <br />The City of Grant may direct Grantee to build out to those residential properties identified in <br />Grantee’s written estimates. Grantee shall bear the cost of construction up to $2,600 per home <br />passed. Grantee is not required to build out to any home directed by the City of Grant to be built <br />out unless, for that home, there is a secure commitment to fund all construction costs (including <br />the node splits and fiber extensions) in excess of $2,600 per home through any combination of <br />funds from the potential subscribers, a grant commitment, or a commitment of any portion of the <br />Construction Credit provided in Section 6.6(b) of the Franchise. <br /> <br />For places within the targeted buildout area on private property with one or more existing poles <br />that are not currently usable by Grantee because of trees, brush, or both, but that could be made <br />usable, the City of Grant or property owner can, at their own choice and not under the direction or <br />request of Grantee, cut back the trees or brush at its own expense, or in combination with the <br />expense of the benefitted property owner(s), to make the existing pole(s) usable by Grantee.
