Common use of Equal Protection Clause in Contracts

Equal Protection. If any other provider of cable services or video services (without regard to the technology used to deliver such services) is lawfully authorized by the Grantor or by any other State or federal governmental entity to provide such services using facilities located wholly or partly in the public rights-of-way of the Grantor, the Grantor shall ensure that the terms applicable to such other provider are no more favorable or less burdensome than those applicable to Grantee. If the authorization applicable to such other provider contains franchise fee, PEG, free service, right-of-way, or other terms imposing monetary or regulatory burdens that are less costly or less burdensome than the corresponding obligations imposed upon Grantee, Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days of a written request from Grantee, modify this Franchise to ensure that the corresponding obligations applicable to Grantee are no more costly or burdensome than those imposed on the new competing provider. If the Grantor fails to make modifications consistent with this requirement, Xxxxxxx agrees not to enforce such corresponding obligations in this Franchise beyond the requirements imposed by the less costly or less burdensome obligations in such competing provider’s authorization. As an alternative to the equal protection procedures set forth herein, the Grantee shall have the right and may choose to have this Franchise with the Grantor be deemed expired thirty (30) days after written notice to the Grantor. Nothing in this Franchise shall impair the right of the Grantee to terminate this Franchise and, at Xxxxxxx’s option, negotiate a renewal or replacement franchise, license, consent, certificate or other authorization with any appropriate government entity. Nothing in this Section 15.5 shall be deemed a waiver of any remedies available to Grantee under federal, state or municipal law, including but not limited to Section 625 of the Cable Act, 47 U.S.C. § 545.
