Ramsey/Washington Cable System with the Central St. Croix Cable System, three (3) 6 MHz channels/bandwidth for forward video purposes, three (3) 6 MHz channels/bandwidth for return video purposes, three (3) 6 MHz for forward data purposes and/or other, and three (3) 6 MHz channels/bandwidth for return data and/or other purposes. Upon Commission's request for additional interconnection capacity, Grantee will make available such additional capacity necessary to meet the total interconnection capacity specified in Exhibit C. C — 2. Grantee will provide, at cost of time and materials, to be paid by the local government or Commission, an interconnection with the State of Minnesota's fiber network, referred to as the "Connecting Minnesota" project, which is planned to be used by local units of government. Grantee will therefore install a home -run fiber pair, cabling from the Oakdale headend/hub to the location of the "Connecting Minnesota" drop location at the MN -DOT building located at Hadley Avenue and Highway 5 in Oakdale. Upon request of the Commission, Grantee will activate such fiber lines with the equipment necessary to interconnect State's network with the Ramsey/Washington I -Net. C — 3. To further accommodate utilization of interconnection between commonly owned, adjacent -franchise systems in the Twin Cities marketplace, institutions in the Ramsey/Washington service area may desire utilization of capacity on one or more institutional networks which are part of Grantee's commonly owned, adjacent -franchise systems ("Adjacent Institutional Network"). Should such utilization of an Adjacent Institutional Network be desired, in order to meet Commission's proposed uses, the Commission (on behalf of itself or specific institutional users) will undertake best efforts to obtain any required authorization from the appropriate adjacent franchising authority (or such franchising authority's designated institutional network manager) to utilize capacity of such Adjacent Institutional Network which is under the control of such adjacent franchise authority. In the event that Commission is unable to obtain such authorization to use such Adjacent Institutional Network after good faith effort to secure such use, Grantee will provide Commission available bandwidth on such Adjacent Institutional Network as follows: If Adjacent Institutional Network is available and under the control of Grantee, Grantee will provide unused available Adjacent Institutional Network capacity at no charge to the Commission in an amount up to the difference of three (3) 6 MHz channels/bandwidth for forward video, data, or other purposes and three (3) 6 MHz channelsibandwidth for return video, data, or other purposes minus any bandwidth on the Adjacent Institutional Network which is under the control of the adjacent franchising authority and is available for Commission use. Available capacity in addition to that described above on the Adjacent Institutional Networks under the control of Grantee will be made available to Commission at market rates established by Grantee. In no event shall Grantee have any obligation or be responsible for rpoviding any equipment pursuant to this section. C — 4. Grantee will build and activate an AM fiber link between White Bear Lake and Oakdale facilities. The link will support a bandwidth between 50-750 MHz. Grantee will initially, at a minimum, dedicate and pass four (4) 6 MHz video channels and one (1) data channel in each direction between White Bear Lake and Oakdale facilities on this link for the purpose of supporting current video and data (DiTech) needs. If at any time during the renewed franchise video and data applications use or require more capacity than this, Grantee will dedicate and pass such channels, free of charge. Further, additional, activated fiber capacity will be available for a direct link between White Bear Lake and Oakdale facilities to support all institutional network applications. 1141648-1
