I. PAYMENT FOR SERVICE AND FACILITIES
The subscriber shall pay for service and facilities monthly in advance, except all various units of
government, and shall pay for moves and changes when billed. Failure to receive a bill does not
relieve the subscriber of the responsibility for payment in accordance with the provisions set forth
herein.
All bills for service are due and payable at the office of the Company on or before the fifteenth day
following the post marked date of the statement of the month in which the bill is rendered.
J. SPECIAL SERVICES AND FACILITIES
Special services and facilities not ordinarily used in the furnishing of telephone service and not
otherwise provided for by the Price List schedules of the Company may be furnished or leased
pursuant to special contract for such special service or facility for such period as may be agreed
upon, provided such special service or facility or the use made thereof is not unlawful and does not
interfere with the telephone service furnished by the Company. Special services are provided for
each individual application as a custom-engineered system to satisfy and provide for the needs of
that customer. Applicable charges will be determined by the Company for each individual system. In
the event any such special service or facility or the use made thereof interferes with the furnishing of
the telephone service by the Company, the Company may terminate such contract and cease to
furnish such special service or facility after thirty (30) days written notice to the subscriber.
K. LIABILITY OF COMPANY
The included tariff language does not constitute a determination by the Commission that a limitation
of liability imposed by the Company should be upheld in a court of law. Acceptance for filing by the
Commission recognizes that it is a court’s responsibility to adjudicate negligence and consequential
damage claims. It is also the court’s responsibility to determine the validity of the exculpatory
clause.

CONSTRUCTION CHARGES
1. GENERAL
Line extensions consist of additions to plant beyond existing leads, and do not include additions to
plant along existing telephone utility leads. Line extension charges are applied to subscriber
applicants with abnormally long extension requirements to prevent unreasonably burdening the
general body of existing subscribers. All line extensions will be owned and maintained by the
Company.
Line extension charges set forth in this schedule apply in connection with all types of service when
established by means of an extension to the Company’s plan consisting of “buried wire” or pole
construction, including extensions by means of poles to be owned solely by the Company or jointly
with others and by means of contacts or contact space on poles of others. The Company shall
determine the type of construction to be used.
In lieu of the charges otherwise applicable, the applicant, if he so elects, may initially clear the right
of way, furnish and set the required poles in accordance with the normal construction standards of
the Company. In all instances the ownership of facilities shall be entirely vested in the Company.
The location of line extensions are determined by the telephone company and the distances
(including drop wire) are measured along the route so selected.
Construction to serve two or more customers, whether on public right-of-way or private easements,
may be used for serving subscribers in general.
The total extension to plan (along public roads or on private property) to be furnished without charge
shall not exceed 300 feet per application. Where the total extension exceeds 300 feet, the free
footage allowance is first computed for the private property portion of the extension prior to
computing any allowance for the construction along public roads. In addition to the Line Extension
Allowance, customers shall receive up to 300 feet of drop wire construction without charge.
However, ownership of facility will be retained by the Company.
Contracts, covering periods not more than three years of telephone service, may be required by the
Company as a condition precedent to establishment of the service when line extensions are
necessary. Such contracts will not require advance or unusual payments in excess of those otherwise
required by this schedule, and shall not interfere with the Company’s right to collect amounts as
provided elsewhere in its Price List schedule.

The estimate cost of the line extensions are payable in advance. In the event of overcharge, refunds
to applicants will reflect the difference between the estimated cost and the actual cost of the line
extension. In the event of undercharge, the Company shall bill the applicant for an amount not to

3) For line extensions of unusually long length or high cost, the Company may also
estimate the cost of providing radio telephone service. The Company or applicant may
request either lien extensions or radio telephone service and the applicant will pay the
actual cost for the chosen option in excess of the free allowance which would be
provided under the line extension option.
C. Rights-of-Way or Easements
Rights-of-way and easements to the premises, satisfactory to the company, must be furnished
without costs by the applicant on public lands and private property.
GROUP OF APPLICANTS
When construction is required to serve a new applicant, a survey is made of all prospective
subscribers who might be served from the new construction or an extension thereof and who might
benefit by being included in the project. Free footage allowances are made only for those
prospective subscribers making a written application for service.
All applicants are grouped in a single project when there is no more than one-half mile of
construction between successive applicants. Separate projects are established whenever the
construction between any two successive applicants exceeds one-half mile. Two ore more projects
are combined, however, whenever this results in lower charges (or no increase in charges) for all of
the applicants involved.
An applicant at any premises receives only a single line extension and drop wire allowance
regardless of the number of services ordered at that premises.

CONSTRUCTION CHARGES (Continued)
2. LINE EXTENSIONS (Continued)
GROUP OF APPLICANTS (Continued)
Applicants ordering service at more than one premises are treated as separate applicants at each
premises for purposes of this schedule.
For the purpose of determining project charges, the collective free footage allowance for the group is
subtracted from the overall Line Extension footage required for service. The total project cost is then
divided equally among all applicants.
Exceptions:
A. No applicant is required to pay a higher charge than he would if the project were established
for him alone. Any difference between this charge and the average charge for the group is
absorbed by the Company.
B. Charges for extensions to plant on private property (including drop wire) are assumed by
applicants on whose property such extensions are made and these charges are not included in
the overall charges for the project. Likewise, the free footage allowance on private property is
not included in the collective allowance for the project.
CHARGES TO SUBSEQUENT APPLICANTS
When a new applicant can be served from a completed project, within three years from the date
service was initially established for such project, the charges for the entire project are recomputed to
include the new applicant. the new applicant pays a prorated amount of the line extension charge
based on the number of months (a fraction of a month is counted as a full month) remaining in the
original three-year term. The time is computed from the date service is established for the new
applicant.
Where additional construction is required for an applicant to be served from a project less than three
years old, the cost of the project is computed as above if such recomputation does not increase the
charges to those customers served from the existing project. Otherwise, a new project will be
established.
When a project is recomputed as described above, existing subscribers will be refunded a prorated
amount of the difference between the original charges and the recomputed chares, based on the
remainder of the three-year term. Recomputation of the charges due to the addition of new
applicants is made on the assumption that there have been no disconnects.

CHARGES TO SUBSEQUENT APPLICANTS (Continued)
Where construction on private property is subsequently treated as being on public roads, or where a
private road is dedicated to the public use, within three years of completion or the original project,
the time extension charges shall be recomputed and refunds made to the initial applicants where
applicable.
DISCONNECTS AND REUSE OF FACILITIES
When one or more subscribers on a project disconnect within the three year term, no refund is made
of the line extension charge to the disconnected subscribers. Charges to remaining subscribers are
not affected by disconnects.
When a subscriber disconnects service or moves off the project and service is established for a new
applicant at the same location, any adjustment in charges is a matter for negotiation between the
original subscriber and the new applicant.
Where a subscriber is disconnected for any reason and subsequently re applies for service from the
same premises or another premises on the same project, the subscriber will not be required to pay
any additional line extension charges in addition to his total original obligation.
3. REAL ESTATE SUBDIVISIONS
Line extensions into real estate subdivisions will be made by the Company provided ninety (90%)
percent of the estimated total cost of such extension is advanced to the Company by the subdivider.
4. TEMPORARY OR SPECULATIVE SERVICE
Line extensions and/or additions to provide service to an applicant engaged in temporary or
speculative business will be made on the condition that applicant pays to the Company the total cost
of the construction and removal of the line necessary in furnishing the service, less the salvage value
of the material used.

4. TEMPORARY OR SPECULATIVE SERVICE (Continued)
If a subscriber maintains for thirty-six consecutive months a service installation which was
originally established on a temporary or speculative basis, and if his business or operation at the end
of that time has proven its permanency to the satisfaction of the Company, there will be refunded to
the subscriber an amount equal to the difference between the payment made and the normal line
extension charge which would have been applicable at the time the subscriber’s service was
installed.
In no event shall service installation be classed as temporary or speculative for more than six years.
Refund provisions apply at the end of not more than six (6) years.
5. SAVING CLAUSE
Arrangements may be made, other than as provided for above in this schedule, in the following
cases:

meet the applicant’s special requirements and where the construction or route so requested differs
from the normal standards of the Company and is not required by law.
Line extensions involving underground crossings of railroads, highway or power lines, submarine
cable, or along river crossings.
Where construction is required to provide service on a seasonal basis, or to provide Foreign
Exchange service, or to meet other unusual conditions.

expenditures as compared to the usual line extension.
