Common use of SPLICE POINTS Clause in Contracts

SPLICE POINTS. Except as limited by Section 9.3, MFN will provide Lessee with access to the MFN System backbone at mutually agreed upon manholes/handholes ("Splice Point(s)") for the purpose of interconnecting a Lessee-owned lateral connection to the Lessee Fiber. Upon acceptance of Lessee's request for a Splice Point, MFN, in its reasonable discretion, will select the closest serving manhole or handhole. Lessee must provide and install Lessee-owned manholes/handholes and/or conduit to the selected MFN manhole/handhole for Splice Point interconnection. MFN or an MFN-approved contractor will perform all interconnection work, including penetration of the MFN manholes/handholes, installation of the conduit, and pulling and maintaining the fiber optic cable between Lessee's facilities and the selected MFN manhole/handhole. All work in MFN manholes/handholes and splice enclosures, including splicing and manhole/handhole penetration, will be managed and supervised by MFN. MFN will then provide a ribbon tie cable between Lessee's facilities and MFN's selected manhole/handhole, and each party will perform splicing in its own manhole/handhole. MFN will invoice and Lessee agrees to pay all Costs associated with MFN's provision of Splice Points including the cost of the ribbon tie cable. MFN shall allow Lessee to connect at agreed upon Splice Points at any time during the Term at no cost to Lessee other than those provided hereinabove.
