a. Access Channels. The Grantee must dedicate two (2) Channels for
noncommercial public, education, and government access (hereinafter "PEG Access")
programming. The PEG Access Channels must be cablecast on the Basic Cable Service

b. Channel Usage. One specially designated PEG Access Channel must be
available for noncommercial use by the general public, local education authorities and

hours that such PEG Access Channel is not being used by the general public, local
educational authorities or local government, the Grantee may lease time to commercial or
noncommercial users on a first-come, first-served, nondiscriminatory basis if the demand
for that time arises. The Grantee may also use this PEG Access Channel for local
origination during those hours when the channel is not otherwise in use. The second PEG

the City (hereinafter "City channel"). The Grantee must ensure that the City channel is
designed to be capable of cablecasting live programming originated at City Hall and such
other public institutions as City may designate in writing, provided however, Grantee
shall only be required to pay for the expense of the first one hundred and fifty (150) feet
of new System construction and City shall pay any additional actual construction cost.
Grantee must provide reasonable technical assistance in relation to the origination and
delivery of access programming. City shall, at all times, provide Grantee with the same
video programming provided to other System operators in the City.
C. Responsibility for PEG Access. The Grantee will have responsibility for
PEG Access only as provided in this Section 4.1. The City and Grantee may agree to the
City's operation, administration, and management of PEG Access programming on the
City channel and the specially designated PEG Access Channel. In such case, the City
may designate responsibility for the City channel and/or specially designated PEG Access
Channel to a City board, committee or a third party.
d. PEG Access Facilities, Equipment and Programming.
1. Upon City's written request identifying the City's reasonable
requests for PEG Access services, facilities and equipment, the Grantee
shall participate in negotiations with the City any other local System
operator concerning alternatives to meet the City's requests. The Grantee
shall negotiate in good faith.
RJV-218906vl 4
TS105-6
2. The Grantee, any other local System operator and City may
negotiate mutually agreeable terms concerning in-kind contributions to
permit the offering of PEG Access programming and services as
requested. The Grantee, any other local System operator and City shall
negotiate the provision of adequate PEG Access Facilities of the following
types: a) camera(s); b) appropriate camera mounting devices; c)
audio/microphone feeds; d) such System equipment as may be necessary
to provide live programming from City Hall. The Grantee, local System
operator and City shall further negotiate commitments to reasonably
maintain and replace such equipment.
3. If the Grantee, any other local System operator and City cannot
agree concerning the provision of in-kind contributions as specified in
Section 4.1(d)(2) above within six (6) months from the City's written
request, or such negotiations cease, the City may require the Grantee and
any other local System operator to make reasonable in-kind contributions
to ensure the City's requests are met, or require reimbursement of the
City's expenses associated with meeting such requests. Grantee and any
other local System operator shall equitably contribute toward the costs of
these in-kind contributions which may include the Access Fee set forth in
Section 4.1(f) below.
4. The Grantee's total obligation pursuant to this Section 4.1(d) shall
not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) throughout the term of this
Franchise.
e. City Resolution of PEG Access Channel Disputes.
1. The Grantee and any other local System operator may mutually
agree on how the PEG Access Channel connections will be completed
taking into consideration the exact physical and technical circumstances of
the Systems involved. The City may require Grantee to permit a
connection with its PEG Access Channel feeds to the extent provided in
47 C.F.R. § 76.1505(d)(3).
2. If the Grantee and any other local System operator cannot agree on
how to accomplish the connection necessary to share PEG Access Channel
feeds within six (6) months from the City's written request, or such
negotiations cease, the City may decide the matter and may require that
the connection occur on government property or on a Right -of -Way. The
costs of completing the connection to Grantee's PEG Access Channel feed
shall be borne entirely by the other System operator.
f. Support for PEG Access Facilities. In addition to the requirements of
Section 4.1(a) -(e) above, the City may upon ninety (90) days written notice require
RJV-218906v1 5
TS105-6
Grantee to collect an Access Fee solely to purchase additional PEG Access Facilities.
The Access Fee must not exceed fifty cents ($.50) per Subscriber per month for the first
five (5) years of the Franchise term, and must not exceed one dollar ($1.00) per
Subscriber per month for the remainder of the Franchise term. Payments must made
quarterly. All amounts paid shall be subject to audit and recomputation and City's
acceptance shall not be an accord that the amount paid is correct. The City may adopt a
Resolution modifying the Access Fee amount no more than once every twenty-four (24)
months. The City must provide notice of any modification to Grantee on or before
October 1', to be effective on January 1' of the following year. Grantee may itemize any
Access Fee on Subscriber's bills. Payment by Grantee must be separate from and in
addition to any Fee. In the event the City exercises the above option, the Grantee may
retain up to fifty percent (50%) of the Access Fee to be used solely for the reimbursement
of Grantee's expenditures to the City for PEG Access Facilities as required in this
Franchise Section 4.1(d). Upon full collection, Grantee shall remit the full amount
collected to the City.
g. Access Rules. The City may implement rules for use of the PEG Access
Channels. Prior to the cablecast of any program on any PEG Access Channel established
herein, any Person who requests access to the System to provide video programming
must provide a written certification acceptable to City which releases, indemnifies, and
holds harmless Grantee, City and their employees, offices, agents, and assigns from any
liability, cost, damages and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal fees,
arising or connected in any way with said program.
h. Charges for Use. Channel time and playback of prerecorded programming
on the specially designated PEG Access Channel must be provided without charge.
Personnel, equipment and production costs may be assessed for live studio presentations.
Charges for production costs must be consistent with the goal of affording the public a
low-cost means of television access.
i. Parity of Obligations. In the event there is Competition in the City during
the term of this Franchise, the City will impose equivalent PEG Access obligations on all
franchised providers of Cable Service in the City and the Access Fee shall be identical for
all providers.
Section 4.2 Drops and Service to Public Buildings.
a. The Grantee must install one (1) Drop and one (1) outlet, and provide
monthly Cable Service (excluding pay -per -channel or pay -per -program) without charge
to City Hall, all public and state -accredited parochial primary and secondary schools, and
such other public institutions as City may subsequently designate in writing.
b. The Grantee must extend distribution cable up to one hundred and fifty
(15 0) feet without cost in order to provide Service to institutions subsequently designated

RN -218906v1 6
TS105-6

the City must comply with Section 14 of the Cable Ordinance governing enforcement of
this Franchise.
e. The City's rights pursuant to the performance bond are in addition to all
other rights the City may have. Any action with respect to the performance bond does
not constitute an exclusive remedy nor limit any other right.

a. During periods in which System construction rebuild, upgrade or line
extension costs are expected to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), Grantee
shall provide a construction bond in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).

specifying those items of construction which the City determines are not complete. The
RJV-218906v1 8
TS105-6
City may enforce the construction bond if such items of construction are not thereafter
completed within sixty (60) days. Upon completion of construction or satisfaction of any
items determined to be incomplete, the construction bond shall be returned to Grantee.
C. In the event the City will make any claim against the construction bond,
the City must comply with Section 14 of the Cable Ordinance governing enforcement of
this Franchise.
d. The City's rights pursuant to the construction bond are in addition to all
other rights the City may have. Any action with respect to the construction bond does not
constitute an exclusive remedy nor limit any other right.
