9 <br />Grantee's Cable System is a 750 MHz hybrid fiber coaxial, two way capable system. <br />Grantee shall install and maintain the Cable System in accordance with industry <br />standards and shall upgrade the Cable System to meet its business objectives. <br />Section 4. Service Area <br />B. If the number of households per mile is less than eighteen (18), the requesting <br />Customers(s) may obtain service by paying a share of the incremental cost of the <br />extension as follows: <br />The Grantee shall pay a share of costs calculated as the fraction derived <br />from the existing density as calculated above divided by eighteen (18) <br />homes per mile; requesting Customer(s)' share shall equal the remainder. <br />For example, if the line extension density is nine (9) homes per mile, the <br />Grantee shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the extension cost and the <br />requesting Customer(s) shall pay the remaining fifty percent (50%). <br />C. Upon receipt of a written request for a Cable Service extension from the Grantor, <br />the Grantee shall, within thirty (30) days, respond in writing with its calculation <br />of the density. If the density is less than eighteen (18) homes per mile, the <br />Grantee shall also provide a fine price good for ninety (90) days reflecting the <br />proportional share which requesting resident(s) must pay on a cost sharing basis <br />to obtain Cable Service. Within ninety (90) days from payment of the cost share <br />by prospective Customer(s) and receipt of all necessary utility permits or other <br />Right-of-Way permits, the Grantee shall complete the extension of Cable Service. <br />D. As the household density increases in an area where service is extended on a cost <br />sharing basis, the Grantee shall, upon request, annually refund a proportionate <br />share of the Customer(s)' contributions commensurate with the increase in <br />The Grantee's Service Area shall consist of the unincorporated areas located within the <br />County as may be amended from time to time as the result of annexation of territory by <br />incorporated municipalities located within the County.
