However, if at the time of the I-Net Upgrade the City's City Council chambers will continue to be housed in the Ramsey Fire Hall for less than twelve months, the Commission or the appropriate I-Net User shall reimburse the Grantee for its Actual Cost of installing the Ramsey Fire Hall I-Net Connection in excess of the Actual Cost of the first 500 feet of construction from the existing Institutional Network. Prior to the activation of the Ramsey Fire Hall I-Net Connection, the Grantee shall provide the City with the following: (i) sufficient upstream bandwidth on the subscriber network to transport a 6 MHz analog video channel to Grantee's headend or hub, as appropriate; and (ii) all transmission equipment and materials necessary to originate and transmit video signals from the Ramsey Fire Hall through the Grantee's System to the City's discrete Governmental Access Channel (collectively, the "Temporary Upstream Feed") and then on to Subscribers. The Grantee shall complete and activate the Temporary Upstream Feed no later than the Effective Date of this Franchise. The Temporary Upstream Feed shall remain fully operational until such time as the Ramsey Fire Hall I-Net Connection passes all applicable tests, as specified in subsection 7.1.2, and is successfully activated. At all times, the combination of the downstream subscriber network and the Temporary Upstream Feed or the Ramsey Fire Hall I-Net Connection shall meet or exceed FCC technical standards at all Subscriber locations. The Grantee shall provide, install and maintain the Temporary Upstream Feed at no charge to the City, the Commission or I-Net Users. The Grantee may pass all direct costs associated with the Ramsey Fire Hall I-Net Connection and the Temporary Upstream Feed through to all Subscribers as an external cost and may itemize such costs on all Subscribers' monthly billing statements as part of the PEG Fee or as a separate line item entitled "institutional network," all in accordance with applicable law. 7.1.6 I-Net Users shall be responsible for providing any end-user or interface equipment needed for transmission or reception of signals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee shall, at the Commission's request, provide at no charge to the City, the Commission or I-Net Users up to twenty (20) new modulators for City and/or Commission use. 37
