and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as
set out in the Town's adopted planning documents;
C. The extent to which the rezoning presents a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development
objectives;
d. The extent to which the rezoning provides for the growth of an orderly
viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the
best interests of the community as a whole; and

on the natural environment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise,
vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features;

based on the evidence and testimony presented in consideration of this ordinance, the
Town Council finds and determines as follows:

parcels are created, will be compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and
appropriate for the surrounding areas; and

effect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town Council

control in which Comcast is not replaced by another entity, Comcast will continue to be bound
by all terms of the Agreement, subject to applicable law, and will not be required to file an
additional written acceptance. The approval of any transfer shall not waive any rights of Town
to subsequently enforce noncompliance issues relating to this Agreement. If a change of control
involves an entity that was not an Affiliate prior to the contemplated transaction, the Town's
consent shall be required for such change in control.
(H) In reviewing a transfer request, the Town may inquire into the legal, technical and
financial qualifications of the transferee, and Comcast shall assist the Town in so inquiring. The
Town may condition said transfer upon such terms as it deems reasonably appropriate, consistent
with applicable law and reasonably related to the qualifications of the prospective transferee to
comply with this Agreement or the resolution of outstanding and unresolved issues of
noncompliance with this Agreement by Comcast.
(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection, the prior approval of the
Town shall not be required for any sale, assignment or transfer of the Agreement or the Cable
System to an intracompany entity controlling, controlled by or under the same common control
as Comcast, provided that the proposed assignee or transferee shall show financial responsibility
as may be determined necessary by the Town and shall agree in writing to comply with all
provisions of the Agreement. Further, Comcast may pledge the assets of the Cable System for
the purpose of financing without the consent of the Town; provided that such pledge of assets
shall not mitigate Comcast's responsibilities to meet its obligations under this Agreement.

2.5 Competitive Equity
(A) Comcast acknowledges and agrees that the Town reserves the right to grant additional
franchises to provide Cable Service in the Franchise Area; provided that if any such franchise is
granted by the Town which, in the reasonable opinion of Comcast, contains more favorable or
less burdensome Material Terms and Conditions than this Agreement, the Town agrees that,
within ninety (90) days of Comcast's request, the parties shall amend this Franchise to insure that
the regulatory and financial burdens on each entity are materially equivalent. "Material Terms
and Conditions" includes without limitation: Franchise Fees; insurance coverage amounts;
System build -out requirements; Public, Education and Government Access Channels and
support; customer service standards; required reports and related record keeping; and notice and
opportunity to cure breaches. The parties agree that this Subsection does not require a word for
word identical franchise or authorization for a competitive entity if the regulatory and financial
burdens on each entity are materially equivalent.
(B) If an application for a new cable franchise is filed with the Town proposing to serve the
Franchise Area, in whole or in part, the Town shall make a good faith effort to provide notice of
such application upon Comcast prior to acting on the application.

Services provider, legally authorized by state or Federal law, makes Cable Services or multiple
Channels of Video Programming within the Franchise Area available for purchase by Customers
without a franchise or other similar lawful authorization granted by the Town, then Comcast may
seek modification pursuant to subsection (A) hereof, or the term of this Franchise shall, upon
ninety (90) days written notice from Comcast, be shortened so that the Franchise shall be
deemed to expire on a date six (6) months from the first day of the month following the date of
Comcast's notice; provided, however, that if the provision of Cable Services or Video
Programming by the other facilities -based Cable Services Provider within the Franchise Area is
being legally challenged by the Town, the term of this Franchise shall remain unaffected until
such legal challenge is concluded.
2.6 Familiarity with Agreement and Acceptance
(A) Comcast acknowledges and warrants that it has carefully read and fully comprehends the
terms of this Agreement and that it has fully considered the requirements of this Agreement, and
finds that the same are commercially practicable at this time and consistent with all local, State
and federal laws and regulations currently in effect.

Comcast shall pay, in addition to the payment or sum due, interest from the due date at the rate
of eight percent (8 %) per annum until the date the Town receives the payment.
(B) No acceptance of payment shall be construed as an accord by Town that the amount paid
is the correct amount, nor shall an acceptance of payment be construed as a release of any claim
Town may have against Comcast. The period of limitation for recovery of Franchise Fees
payable hereunder shall be three (3) years from the date on which payment by Comcast was due
or such shorter period of time if so provided by law.
(C) A report prepared by a representative of Comcast showing the basis for the computation

in a calendar year, Comcast shall pay the actual cost of the audit in a total amount not to exceed

No term of this Agreement shall affect Comcast's obligation to pay Franchise Fees. Although
the total sum of Franchise Fee payments and additional commitments set forth elsewhere in this

Comcast agrees that the additional commitments regarding PEG funding and Access Channels
are not Franchise Fees, nor are they to be offset or credited against Franchise Fee payments

Q. I USERSI VAIDCOMCASTIAGRIFRANCHISE FINAL -3.DOC

Town, Comcast shall remove, replace, relocate, modify or disconnect any of its facilities in a
Public Way or on any other property of the Town, except that the Town shall provide at least
ninety (90) days written notice of any major capital improvement project that would require the
removal, relocation, replacement, modification or disconnection of Comcast's facilities or
equipment. If Comcast fails to complete this work within the time prescribed and to the Town's

administrator of these transactions.
10.3 Acquisition of Facilities
Upon Comcast's acquisition of Cable System related facilities in any Public Way, or upon the
addition or annexation to the Town of any area in which Comcast owns or operates any facility,
such facilities shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Town acknowledges that

days to make changes in the billing system affecting those Customers.
10.4 Reservation of Public Ways
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Town from constructing any public improvement, or
from permitting other utilities the use of the Public Ways. If the Cable System interferes with

System shall be removed or relocated in the area the Town directs. If the Town requires
Comcast to relocate its facilities located within the Public Way, the Town shall make a
reasonable effort to provide Comcast with an alternate location within the Public Way. All such
removal or relocation shall be preceded by sixty (60) days written notice or such additional time
as may be provided by Town. Should Comcast fail to remove, adjust or relocate its facilities by

shall submit to Town a complete description of the facility and the date on which Comcast
19
12/13/2012
Q: I USERSIVAILICOMCASTL9GRTRANCHISE FINAL -3.DOC
intends to discontinue using the facility. Comcast may remove the facility or request that the
Town allow it to remain in place. Notwithstanding Comcast's request that any such facility
remain in place, the Town may require Comcast to remove the facility from the Public Way or
modify the facility to protect the public health, welfare, safety and convenience. The Town may
require Comcast to perform a combination of modification and removal of the facility.
(B) Comcast shall complete such removal or modification in accordance with a schedule set
by the Town. Until Comcast removes or modifies the facility as directed by the Town, or until
the rights to and responsibility for the facility are accepted by another Person having authority to
construct and maintain such facility, Comcast shall be responsible for the facility, as well as
maintenance of the Public Way, in the same manner and degree as if the facility were in active
use, and Comcast shall retain all liability for such facility.
(C) If Comcast abandons any facilities, the Town may choose to use such facilities for any
purpose whatsoever.
10.6 Use of Conduit or Ducts
(A) The Town may install or affix and maintain wires and equipment owned by the Town for
Town purposes in or upon any of Comcast's ducts or conduits in the Public Ways, without charge
to the Town, to the extent space therein or thereon is reasonably available, and pursuant to all
applicable ordinances and codes. For purposes of this Subsection, "Town purposes" includes,
but is not limited to, the use of the structures and installations for fire, police, traffic, water,
telephone, or signal systems, but not for Cable Service in competition with Comcast. Comcast
shall not deduct the value of such use of its facilities from its Franchise Fee payments or from
other fees payable to the Town.
(B) Comcast acknowledges that the Public Ways have a finite capacity for containing conduit
and facilities. Therefore, Comcast agrees that when the Town determines it is impracticable to
permit construction of an underground conduit system by any other Person which may at the
time have authority to construct or maintain conduits or ducts in the Public Ways, but excluding
Persons providing Cable Service in competition with Comcast, the Town may require Comcast
to afford to such Person the right to use Comcast's surplus ducts or conduits in common with
Comcast, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agreement for use of surplus ducts or
conduits entered into by Comcast and the other Person. Nothing herein shall require Comcast to
enter into an agreement with such Person if, in Comcast's reasonable determination, such an
agreement will compromise the integrity of the Cable System.
10.7 Undergrounding
Where electric and telephone utility wiring is underground, all Cable System lines, wiring and
equipment shall also be placed underground with other wireline service at no expense to the
Town. Related equipment, such as pedestals, shall be placed in accordance with applicable Town
requirements. In areas where either electric or telephone utility wiring are aerial, Comcast may
install aerial cable, except when a property owner or resident requests underground installation
and agrees to bear the additional cost in excess of aerial installation.
10.8 Tree Trimming
Comcast may prune or cause to be pruned, using proper pruning practices, any tree in any Public
Way which interferes with the Cable System. Comcast shall comply with all Town requirements
20
12/13/2012
Q.• I USERSIVAILICOMCAS71AGRIFRANCHISE FINAL -3.DOC
regarding tree trimming. Except in emergencies, Comcast may not prune trees at a point below
thirty (30) feet above sidewalk grade without seven (7) days prior written notice to the owner or
occupant of the premises abutting the Public Way in or over which the tree is growing. The
owner or occupant of the abutting premises may prune such tree at his or her own expense during
this one (1) week period. If the owner or occupant fails to do so, Comcast may prune such tree
at its own expense. For purposes of this Subsection, emergencies exist when it is necessary to
prune to protect the public or Comcast's facilities from imminent danger only.
10.9 GIS Mapping
Comcast shall provide the Town with records of Comcast's trunk and distribution facilities in the
Franchise Area in a standard geographic information (GIS) format within thirty (30) days of
receipt of written request or longer if agreed to by the parties.

11.1 Technical Performance
The technical performance of the Cable System shall meet or exceed all applicable technical
standards authorized or required by law, including FCC technical standards as they may be
amended from time to time, regardless of the transmission technology utilized. The Town shall
have the authority provided by law to enforce compliance with these technical standards.
11.2 Cable System Performance Testing

(B) All required tests may be witnessed by representatives of the Town. Upon request,
Comcast will notify the Town before any required technical proof -of- performance or other

of providing at least twelve (12) hours of emergency operation. Comcast shall maintain standby
power supplies that will supply back -up power of at least two (2) hours duration throughout the

provided an opportunity to be heard, to present and question witnesses, and to present evidence

determines that a violation exists, the Town may order Comcast to remedy the violation within
fourteen (14) days or within such other reasonable timeframe agreed to by the parties. If
Comcast does not remedy the violation within such time to the Town's reasonable satisfaction,
the Town may:
(1) Assess and collect monetary damages in accordance with this Agreement;
(2) Terminate this Agreement; and /or,
(3) Pursue any other legal or equitable remedy available under this Agreement or
applicable law.
12.2 Alternative Remedies
(A) No provision of this Agreement shall bar the right of either party to seek or obtain
judicial relief from a violation of any provision of the Agreement or any rule, regulation,
requirement or directive promulgated thereunder. Neither the existence of other remedies
identified in this Agreement nor the exercise thereof shall be deemed to bar or otherwise limit
the right of either party to recover monetary damages, as allowed under applicable law, or to
seek and obtain judicial enforcement of obligations by means of specific performance, injunctive
relief or mandate, or any other remedy at law or in equity.
(B) The Town does not waive any right, immunity, limitation or protection otherwise

employees for any loss, costs, expenses or damages arising out of any provision of this
Agreement or the enforcement thereof, subject to applicable law.
12.3 Liquidated Damages
(A) The Town and Comcast recognize the delays, expense and unique difficulties involved in
proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by the Town as a result of a violation by
Comcast of this Agreement. Accordingly, instead of requiring such proof of actual loss, the
Town and Comcast agree that Comcast shall pay to the Town the sums set forth in this
Subsection. Such amounts are agreed by both parties to be a reasonable estimate of the actual
damages the Town would suffer in the event of Comcast's violation.
22
