Splitter Options Clause Samples

Splitter Options. To utilize line sharing, New Edge Networks must obtain access to a splitter that meets the requirements for equipment collocation set by the FCC in its Collocation Order in CC Docket No. 98-147 (rel. March 31, 1999) in the central office that serves the end-user of the shared line. New Edge Networks may obtain access to said splitter via the following options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to June 6, 2000, GTE shall equip as many central offices as possible with a GTE-owned splitter as described in Option No. 2 below. New Edge Networks agrees to use this configuration for initial line sharing in the central offices that GTE commits to have fully operational on or before June 6, 2000 (assuming that unforeseen delays in the availability of necessary equipment and/or labor, or other circumstances beyond GTE’s control, do not occur) as set forth on Exhibit 1 attached hereto. For those central offices that GTE cannot commit to have fully operational with a GTE-owned splitter on or before June 6, 2000, New Edge Networks may choose to deploy its own splitter as described in Option No. 1 below. GTE shall provide New Edge Networks with written notice in the event that Exhibit 1 needs to be revised due to unforeseen delays or other circumstances beyond GTE’s reasonable control. For any central office in which New Edge Networks chooses to install its own splitter, GTE agrees to install any additional tie cables required by New Edge Networks, in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of collocation set forth in this Agreement and/or applicable GTE tariffs. GTE will discontinue Option No. 2 effective on the earlier to occur of December 15, 2000 or the termination of this Agreement (the “Option No. 2 Termination Date”). GTE, at its discretion however, may continue Option No. 2 past the Option No. 2 Termination Date. New Edge Networks shall have the right to the Option No. 2 alternative during the period until the Option No. 2 Termination Date, provided, however, that GTE shall discontinue deploying splitters effective on such date. GTE’s discontinuance of Option No. 2 shall not diminish its obligation to complete initial splitter deployment in the central offices identified on Exhibit 1. New Edge Networks will be permitted to continue to utilize GTE owned splitters that have been assigned to it as of the Option No. 2 Termination Date, until the line sharing service applicable to such splitter as of such date has been discontinued or terminated by New Edge Net...
