With respect to requests for installation at a location in excess of one hundred twenty-five (125) feet from the existing aerial or buried drop line, Grantee must extend and make available Cable Service to such isolated Persons at a reasonable installation charge taking into consideration the actual installation costs incurred by the Grantee for the distance exceeding the one hundred twenty-five (125) feet.
