SPLICE POINTS. The Demarcation Point for each Splice Point is at the Lessee-provided manhole/handhole unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties..
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.
SPLICE POINTS. In the event Lessee seeks to establish its own interconnection with the Lessee Fiber to establish Backbone Access, Xxxxxxxx Communication shall provide, at Lessee's Cost, fiber drops from interconnection points at Xxxxxxxx Communication System to the edge of Xxxxxxxx Communications right-of-way at points mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties ("Splice Point(s)"). Xxxxxxxx Communications shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Splice Points at the locations requested by Lessee subject to the limitations in the Right-of-Way Authorizations. Subject to the terms of the Right-of-Way Authorizations and Section 9.3, Xxxxxxxx Communications shall also provide Lessee reasonable access to any such Splice Points. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee must provide and install Lessee-owned manholes/handholes and/or conduit to the selected Xxxxxxxx Communications manhole/handhole for Splice Point interconnection. All work in Xxxxxxxx Communications manholes/handholes and splice enclosures, including splicing and manhole/handhole penetration, will be managed and supervised by Xxxxxxxx Communications.
