Upon the termination of this Agreement or the expiration of the Term of the license as stated on the Order form, the Customer shall at the Customer’s own cost remove the Co-located Equipment from the Premises at a time to be agreed with Fastnet, save that Fastnet shall have a lien over the Co-located Equipment to secure all sums due under this agreement and the Customer shall not be entitled to remove the Co-located Equipment until all and any such sums have been paid in full.
