Common use of Reservation of Space Clause in Contracts

Reservation of Space. Tel USA reserves the right to manage its own wire center and access tandem conduit requirements and to reserve vacant space for its own specific future use, unless otherwise ordered, based on the following criteria: (1) Floor space for transmission and miscellaneous equipment shall be reserved for up to two years of growth. This would include, but not be limited to, digital cross-connect systems, D4 channel banks, SONET terminals, DWDM equipment, and loop treatment equipment. (2) Floor space for continued expansion of the central office switch (end office, tandem, toll, STP) shall be reserved for up to four years of growth. If central office switch growth cannot be accommodated in floor space associated with a future building addition, in which case floor space is reserved to accommodate the ultimate growth of the central office switch. The ultimate growth of the central office switch is defined as: (a) the maximum terminations/ports (lines and trunks) the central office can support, or (b) the number of terminations/ports anticipated at the time switch modernization technology (complete replacement) is planned to be placed in service. (3) Floor space for the following central office areas shall be reserved for the ultimate requirements of the central office building: power room, main distribution frames, cable vault, manual cross-connect line-ups, and optical system cross-connect/interconnection line-ups. Tel USA’s reservation of vacant floor space within its wire centers and access tandems for its own specific future uses will be on terms no more favorable than would be applicable to other CLEC’s seeking to reserve collocation space for their own future use. If the remaining vacant floor space within a wire center or access tandem is reserved for Tel USA’s own specific future use, the wire center or access tandem will be exempt from future caged collocations requests. Lakeland shall not be permitted to reserve wire center or access tandem cable space or conduit system. If new conduit is required, Tel USA will negotiate with Lakeland to determine an alternative arrangement for the specific location. Lakeland will be allowed to reserve collocation space for its caged arrangements based on Lakeland’s documented forecast provided Tel USA and subject to space availability. Such forecast must demonstrate a legitimate need to reserve the space for use on terms no more favorable than applicable to Tel USA seeking to reserve vacant space for its own specific use.
