in whatever form actually received from all sources in connection with

accord that the amount paid is, in fact, the correct amount, nor shall any
acceptance of payments be construed as a release of any claim the City
may have for further or additional sums payable. All amounts paid shall be
subject to confirmation and recomputation by the City, provided that such
audit and computation is completed within three years of the date any
audited and recomputed payment is due and such audit shall not be

affecting matters of general City concern and not merely existing
contractual rights of Grantee, now in effect or adopted in the future, are

facilities for persons who need to excavate in a public way. Should Grantee fail

City may affect such repair, and the expense thereof shall be paid by Grantee,

expenses reasonably incurred by the City in considering a request to
transfer or assign a telecommunications franchise.

portion thereof to Grantee's customers, or otherwise make its facilities
available in the ordinary conduct of its business as a telecommunications
company without the consent of the City, so long as Grantee remains

its facilities, and so long as the City's bandwidth and/or access speed are
not diminished.

11.1. Both Grantee and the City shall comply with all applicable federal and
state laws. Grantee shall comply with all applicable City ordinances,
resolutions, rules and regulations adopted or established pursuant to the
City's lawful authority. If any federal, state, or local laws or regulations

Commission or its successor agency) and any binding judicial
interpretations thereof(collectively, the "Laws") that govern any aspect of
the rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall change
after the effective date of this Agreement and such change makes any
aspect of such rights or obligations inconsistent with the then-effective
Laws, then the parties agree to promptly amend the Agreement as
reasonably required to accommodate and/or ensure compliance with any
such legal or regulatory change.
Page 10 Mobilitie -Telecommunications Franchise Agr
115558-0004/135143244.2
11.2. If any section, provision or clause of this franchise is held by a court of
competent Jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, or is preempted by

or clause was material to the City's agreement to issue a franchise to
Grantee.
11.3. The City Manager is authorized to act for the City in all matters pertaining
to this agreement. Grantee may appeal any action of the City Manager to
the City Council by giving written notice thereof within 21 days after
Grantee was notified of such action. The City Council will hear the appeal
and render a final decision within 30 days after the notice of appeal is
given. Grantee shall not be relieved of its obligations to comply with any of
the provisions of this franchise by reason of any failure of the City to
enforce prompt compliance, nor does the City waive or limit any of its
rights under this franchise by reason of such failure or neglect.
11.4. Any litigation between the City and Grantee arising under or regarding this
franchise shall occur, if in the state courts, in the Jackson County Circuit
Court, and if in the federal courts, in the United States District Court for the
District of Oregon.

115558.00041135143244.2
11.6. In any situation in which the City is found legally liable to Grantee for
damage to Grantee's facilities, the City's liability shall be limited to the cost
of repair or replacement of damaged facilities, whichever is less. Neither
party will be liable under this franchise for consequential, indirect, or
punitive damages (including lost revenues, loss of equipment, interruption,
loss of service, or loss of data)for any cause of action, whether in
contract, tort, or otherwise, even if the party was or should have been
aware of the possibility of these damages, whether under theory of
contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. Grantee
covenants that it will not assert any claim against the City for any liability,
loss, or damage excluded under this section.
12. Other Authority Superseded. Upon effectiveness of this franchise, any and all
authority to operate previously granted to Grantee by the City shall be
superseded by this franchise.
13. Cable Authority. This franchise does not authorize Grantee to operate a cable
system or provide video programming, as defined by 47 U.S.C.A §522 (Supp.
1997). In the event that Grantee wishes to add cable television services to the list
of services, as regulated by the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, Grantee agrees that it must negotiate an additional agreement with the
City setting forth the terms and conditions governing such service. Other than as
prescribed in Section 3.6, Grantee shall not be required to pay any additional fee,
compensation or consideration to the City for its use of the public way. However,
Grantee shall pay any charges and penalties imposed by the City for
noncompliance with Charter provisions, ordinances, resolutions or permit
conditions.
14. Performance Bond. Grantee shall provide a performance bond, in the amount
of$10,000.00, or other lesser amount as agreed to in writing by City as being
sufficient to assure proper restoration of any street, sidewalk or other surface
disturbed by Grantee. Grantee shall keep the bond in full force and effect during
any activities that disturb the surface of any rights of way and for a period of at
least one year after restoration of rights of way. The bond may be withdrawn one
year after restoration of rights of way, but shall be restored prior to any further
action that would disturb any street, sidewalk or other surface. The bond shall be
issued by a surety authorized to do business in the state of Oregon and with a
Best's rating of A-VII or higher.
In the event of construction by Grantee which is likely to be substantially greater
than $10,000.00, or in the event City's cost to complete or repair the construction
upon Grantee's failure to perform would be greater than $10,000.00, as
reasonably determined by City, City may require the amount of the performance
bond to be increased. The increased performance bond would apply each time
Grantee applies for permits to perform work within the City. Grantee shall
Page 12 Mobilitie -Telecommunications Franchise Agr
115558.0034/135(43244.2
provide City cost estimates of such work in a format reasonably acceptable to
City.
