Grant of Franchise (a) For and in recognition of the mutual consideration set forth in this Franchise Agreement, the satisfaction of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, Franchisee is hereby granted a nonexclusive Franchise to construct, place, replace, repair, maintain, extend, and operate its facilities along, across, upon, under, or in the City's Rights of Way, for the purpose of providing a fiber optic network to provide digital data and/or voice transport. The City may, in writing, approve amendments to the locations and to the routes of Franchisee’s fiber optic facilities, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (b) This Franchise Agreement does not grant Franchisee the authority or right to provide end user "Cable Service." For the purposes of this agreement, "Cable Service" is defined as the one-way transmission to subscribers of video programming or other programming services, and subscriber interaction, if any, which is required for the selection of such video programming or other programming service. (c) The grant of this Franchise Agreement shall not convey title, equitable or legal, to Franchisee in the Rights of Way of the City and shall only give to Franchisee the right to occupy the Rights of Way of the City for the purposes and for the time stated in this Franchise Agreement. The Franchise Agreement does not: (1) Grant Franchisee the right to use Facilities or any other property, telecommunications- related or otherwise, owned or controlled by the City or a third party, without the valid written consent of the City or the third party. (2) Grant Franchisee the authority to construct, to operate, or to maintain any Facilities and any related appurtenances and improvements thereto on any property owned by the City outside a Right of Way, including but not limited to public parks, City Hall, public works facilities, or other public property. The parties agree that the City and Franchisee shall— if it becomes necessary—enter into separate agreements for the placement of Facilities and any related appurtenances and improvements thereto on any City-owned property not located in a Right of Way. (3) Excuse Franchisee from obtaining appropriate access or attachment agreements before locating its Facilities and any related appurtenances and improvements thereto on any property or facilities owned or controlled by the City or by any third party. (d) As noted in subsection (b), Franchisee shall not provide any additional services for which a separate franchise is required by the City without first obtaining a separate franchise or amending this Franchise Agreement. In particular, this Franchise Agreement does not grant Franchisee the right to provide cable service as a cable operator (as defined by 47 U.S.C. § 522(5)) within the City. Xxxxxxxxxx also agrees that this Franchise Agreement does not permit it to operate an open video system without the payment of fees contemplated by 47 U.S.C. § 573(c)(2)(B) and without complying with all FCC regulations promulgated pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 573. Franchisee shall not knowingly allow the use of its Facilities by any third party in violation of this subsection or of any federal, state, or local laws. (e) Nothing in this Franchise Agreement shall be construed as giving Franchisee any exclusive rights or privileges. (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Franchisee reserves all rights it may have under applicable federal, state and local laws affecting this Franchise Agreement, including but not limited to K.S.A. 12-2001.

(b) No Borrower shall (and shall not cause or permit any Operating Lessee to), without the prior consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), surrender any Franchise Agreement or terminate or cancel any Franchise Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement, any and all rights, privileges and prerogatives of each Borrower to surrender any Franchise Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of any Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Franchise Agreement without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect. (c) If any franchisee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of such Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Borrower, to the end that the rights of said franchisee (and/or such Borrower and/or Operating Lessee) in, to and under such Franchise Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Any such amounts so advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date expended by Lender of the Default Rate shall be part of the Indebtedness and Borrower shall immediately repay such amounts to Lender upon demand. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subordination Attornment and Security Agreement and/or Assignment of Management Agreement, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Individual Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Franchisor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any default under any Franchise Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. (d) Each Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to) exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of each Franchise Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and each Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise (or cause the applicable Operating Lessee to exercise) any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Borrower should such Borrower fail to do so, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. (e) Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within two (2) Business Days after demand by Lender therefor. (f) Each Borrower shall, promptly upon request of Lender, but no more than two (2) times in any calendar year during the term of the Loan (unless (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such request is occasioned in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) use its diligent best efforts to obtain and deliver (or cause to be delivered) an estoppel certificate from each Franchisor stating that (i) each applicable Franchise Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, (ii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee named thereunder is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of each applicable Franchise Agreement and such Franchisor knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under each applicable Franchise Agreement, (iii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee thereunder has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any applicable Franchise Agreement and (iv) all sums due and payable to such Franchisor under each applicable Franchise Agreement have been paid in full. (g) Upon the termination of any Franchise Agreement, each Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) promptly enter into a new Franchise Agreement with a replacement Franchisor, which shall deliver a comfort or similar letter to and in favor of Lender, all upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender.
