MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
This Memorandum of Agreement specifies the terms that KNOLOGY Holdings Inc. and
Interstate Fiber Network (IFN) will implement to allow sharing of duct
facilities at two locations.
Location 1 involves an entrance duct into the Opelika Cell Site Equipment
building on Highway 29 in Opelika, AL. IFN owns a duct route from a riser pole
at the end of the pole route at the Cell Site into the equipment building. IFN
agrees to allow KNOLOGY Holdings Inc. to place one fiber optic cable from the
riser pole to the Opelika Cell Site equipment building through a spare IFN
innerduct. The duct route goes from the riser pole to the Cell Site Equipment
building via an underground vault.
Location 2 involves an entrance duct route to an IFN splice vault adjacent to
the new Panama City PoP building on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. KNOLOGY owns two duct routes into two IFN splice vaults at the new
Panama City PoP -- a north duct entrance and a south duct entrance. The KNOLOGY
duct route for the north approach to the PoP contains three KNOLOGY 1 1/8"
innerducts. A KNOLOGY fiber cable will occupy one of the innerducts. KNOLOGY
will allow one innerduct to be occupied by IFN for placement of one fiber
cable. The third innerduct in KNOLOGY's north duct route to the IFN vault
adjacent to the Panama City PoP will remain vacant for KNOLOGY's future use.
This agreement does not involve the KNOLOGY duct entrance into the Panama City
POP from the south side.
KNOLOGY will place a tag that says "IFN" on each end of the KNOLOGY innerduct
into the IFN splice vault adjacent to Panama City PoP that is reserved for IFN.
The signatures below by representatives of KNOLOGY and IFN place this agreement
into immediate effect. This agreement remains in effect until both parties
decide to discontinue the agreement.
