Said Cable Service shall be made available and fully activated to requesting Subscribers no later than sixty (60) days after the Licensee's receipt of permission to attach cable to poles. (c) The Cable Television System shall be further extended to all areas in the Town that do not meet the requirements of subsection (b) above upon request of the prospective Subscribers in such areas and based upon the following cost calculation: if a request for an extension into a residential area requires the construction of the cable plant which does not contain the twenty (20) residences per aerial and/or underground mile of cable plant or fractional proportion thereof, the Licensee and the potential Subscriber shall each be responsible for their proportionate share of construction costs.

The cost of wiring such areas shall be calculated by taking the cost of extending such service divided by the number of Subscribers in such area minus the costs of extending such service to the Subscribers in an area with twenty (20) residences per aerial and/or underground cable mile of cable plant. The resulting cost shall equal the per Subscriber contribution relating to line extension of Cable Service in that particular area of Town , or: C CA LE P * C equals the cost of construction of new plant from the termination of existing cable plant; * CA equals the actual cost of construction per mile in the primary service area; * LE equals the number of dwelling units requesting service in the line extension area; * P equals the twenty (20) (aerial and/or underground) dwelling units per linear mile of plant; and * SC equals the per Subscriber contribution in aid of construction in the line extension area. The Licensee shall apply for permission to attach cables to poles within fourteen (14) days of receiving the contribution(s) from prospective Subscribers. Cable Service(s) shall be made available and fully activated to all requesting Subscribers who made a contribution within sixty (60) days of the Licensee's receipt of permission to attach cables to poles. (e) During the three (3) year period commencing with the completion of any particular line extension contemplated in subsection (c) above, in order to be equitable to those Subscribers who have made a contribution, the Licensee may require proportionate contributions from new Subscribers and shall pay a pro-rata refund to any previous Subscriber(s) who made a contribution, as such new Subscribers are added to that particular line extension. The amount of refund shall be determined by application of the line extension formula, contained in Section 4.2(c) above, reducing the per capita contribution each time a new Subscriber is added. Any refunds due shall be paid annually to Subscribers, or former Subscribers, entitled to receive such a refund.
