Each party shall, when feasible, directly obtain from third-party property owners such access to building entrance and building distribution ducts, building entrance and building distribution conduits, building entrance and distribution space, equipment rooms, equipment closets, mechanical rooms, telephone communications rooms, and other similar areas as may be needed by such party to serve the building owner and tenants located within buildings owned by third parties or to access other space in the building occupied or to be occupied by such party. In those situations in which Applicant cannot obtain from the building owner access on terms satisfactory to Applicant, Applicant may request access from SWBT as provided in Sections 5.03-5.04 of this Agreement; provided, however, that a separate, building-specific notice of intent to occupy under Section 8.02(b) or license application under Section 9.02, including such additional information as may be necessary to identify the space to be occupied and the facilities to be placed in such space, shall be required for access to the facilities and space subject to this section.

Applicant acknowledges that SWBT must, before providing access to building space and facilities located on or within third-party property, review applicable legal documents and physical arrangements relating to the property, including physical arrangements within the building. Upon completion of that review, SWBT will notify Applicant whether Applicant’s request can be granted under this Agreement, will require access arrangements under a tariff or other applicable agreement, or will require other special handling (e.g., direct negotiations with the third-party property owner). Pending such notice, Applicant may not occupy any duct, conduit, or space subject to this section pursuant to Section 8.03 without SWBT’s express written consent but may exercise occupancy rights obtained directly from the building owner. If SWBT has lawful authority to provide such access and is required by the Pole Attachment Act to do so, SWBT shall provide Applicant access under this Agreement. Such access shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis taking into account any special legal, technical, security, or construction considerations applicable to the ducts, conduits, or space which Applicant seeks to access. Such access, when provided, shall only include access to ducts, conduits, and available space (as distinguished from access to cables and other equipment not subject to the Pole Attachment Act). Such access shall be subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as may be appropriate to protect the equipment and other property of the parties and third parties, the reliability of the parties’ networks and the networks of third parties, and the privacy of communications carried over the parties’ networks and networks of third parties.
