North Street Albion, ID 83311 Advice Letter: ID-09-02 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.

North Street Albion, ID 83311 Advice Letter: ID-09-02 CONSTRUCTION CHARGES (Continued) 1. GENERAL (Continued) When an applicant is so located that it is necessary to use private an/or public right-of-way to furnish service, and the Company is unable to obtain the required right-of-way without cost, the applicant may be required to pay the costs incurred in securing the right-of-way in addition to other charges. 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 exceed ten (10%) percent of the estimated extension costs. Any adjustments between the estimated costs advanced by the applicant and the reasonable actual cost shall be made within sixty (60) days after completion of the extension. 2.

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.

North Street Albion, ID 83311 Advice Letter: ID-09-02 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.
