If, despite using such efforts, Lessor is unable to obtain such reimbursement, Lessor has agreed to provide Lucent an estimate of the relocation costs of any relocation pursuant to Section 4 (a) (i), (ii) or (iii) for which it is not receiving reimbursement and to the extent Lessor shall not be reimbursed by the requesting third party, Lucent shall notify MetroPCS of the pro rata share of those costs which shall be the ratio of the number of Leased Fibers to the number of total relocated fiber strands in such relocated segment. MetroPCS may elect to pay the pro rata share of such costs or not. If MetroPCS elects not to pay the pro rata share, Lessor, in its sole discretion may either undertake the relocation at no cost, or terminate the lease agreement with respect to the affected Customer Locations without further liability.
