Most IRU contracts I looked at before putting together ours did not specify 
a clause such as:

"Unless terminated earlier under Clauses 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, this Agreement 
shall remain in force for a period of 15 (fifteen) years and shall be 
binding on the Supplier; any other legal entity which may replace the 
Supplier; the Supplier liquidator (should there be one) or anyone to whom 
the Supplier may transfer the rights and ownership of the  underground 
fiber optic cables."
Go look to see if your IRU contract has any clause about the supplier 
liquidator.
