Therefore, the Grantee, recognizing the rights of other franchisees, licensees and permittees in the Public Ways, shall exercise the authority herein granted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the rights of other prior or future franchisees, licensees and permittees in the Public Ways and to act so as not to endanger or to impair the facilities of any other such franchisee, licensee or permittee. Prior and future franchisees, licensees or permittees shall also, in like manner, be required to respect the Grantee's rights and not unduly interfere with those rights.

At Grantee's own risk, upon notice given as provided in Section 3.3.2 the City may make use in the future of the Authorized Routes in which Grantee's System is located in a manner inconsistent with Grantee's use thereof, provided Grantee shall be given the opportunity, if feasible, to relocate its systems within the Public Way as provided in Section 3.3.2.
  1. Removal and Relocation.
 
The City reserves the right to exercise its police or proprietary powers, to modify, vacate or transfer what is now the Authorized Routes for a public purpose. Grantee acknowledges that the City has predominant right to use the Authorized Routes in the placement, maintenance and repair of sewers, water mains and other public utility facilities or to relocate or remove Grantee's System where the City determines public convenience would be enhanced or for any other public purpose, including, but not limited to, the use of the Authorized Routes for public transportation purposes.
 
The permit referred to in Section 11.1 maybe amended or revoked in whole or in part by the BACP whenever the BACP or the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation considers it necessary or advisable for a public purpose. Grantee shall make no claim for costs or damages against the City by reason of such removal or relocation provided advance notice is given and such removal or relocation is required for a proper public purpose. Upon thirty (30)
 
7
 
 
days written notice to Grantee of partial or complete revocation of such permit from the BACP, Grantee shall remove, modify, replace or relocate all or any portion of its facilities as required at its own expense. Said thirty (30) day period maybe extended by the BACP at his or her sole discretion. In the event that Grantee does not remove, modify, replace or relocate its facilities as required by said notice within the thirty (30) day period (or extension thereof) described in the preceding sentence, the BACP may cause the same to be done at Grantee's expense and all expenses incurred or damages paid by the City on account of such action shall be paid by Grantee upon demand. Grantee shall remove, replace or relocate or modify at its own expense, the installation of any of its facilities as may be deemed necessary by any other appropriate governmental authority to meet its proper responsibilities. In the event the City exercises its predominant right to use any part of the Authorized Routes for a public purpose, the City shall reasonably cooperate with Grantee in finding an alternate site for any telecommunications facilities removed and in avoiding disruption to Grantee's Services. In an emergency, as determined by the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation, the City may order Grantee to remove or relocate its facilities within forty-eight (48) hours. Upon receipt of such notice, City and Grantee shall provide for such removal or relocation as promptly as possible within such time frame as shall be reasonable and Grantee shall diligently proceed on such agreed-on basis. If the City exercises any of its rights pursuant to this Section 3.3, Grantee shall have the option, upon notice to the BACP of abandoning the portion of its System to be removed or relocated and deleting such portion from the Authorized Routes. Any relocation or abandonment of Grantee's System pursuant to this Section 3.3.2 shall be conducted with the approval of the CDOT and shall be automatically considered within the Authorized Routes and an amended or restated Exhibit 1 shall be filed with this ordinance. The calculation of the Annual Fee shall be adjusted according to such abandonment or relocation.
  1. Fire or Other Disaster.
 
Wherever, in case of fire or other disaster, it becomes necessary in the judgment of the City to remove or damage any part of Grantee's System, no charge shall be made by Grantee against the City for restoration and repair.
  1. Temporary Relocation Or Removal.
 
At the request of any person holding a valid building permit issued by the City or other appropriate government authority and upon reasonable notice, depending on the circumstances, but not, in any case, less than thirty (30) days, Grantee shall temporarily raise, lower or remove its cables as may be necessary for the performance of the work so permitted, subject to payment in advance by the permit holder to the Grantee of the direct expenses of such temporary move, including standby time.
 
Section 3.4    No Burden On Public Ways.
 
Grantee shall not attempt to construct or install its Interoffice Telecommunications System in such a fashion as to unduly burden the present or future use of the Authorized Routes. In designing its System, Grantee shall not provide for conduit space in excess of Grantee's
 
8
 
 
present or reasonably anticipated future needs. The Commissioner of the Department of Transportation is authorized to regulate the size of the conduit system used or to be used by Grantee, as well as other physical characteristics of Grantee's System. In the event that the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation shall determine that any portion of Grantee's System, either planned or presently constructed, unduly burden any portion of the Public Ways, now or in the future, Grantee shall be required either to modify its System, or to take such actions as the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation shall determine for the sake of public convenience to eliminate the problem within the time frame provided by the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation and the Code. Failure to comply with this Section 3.4 in a timely fashion shall be grounds for revocation of the permit described in Section 11.1.

  1. Privilege Is Personal To Grantee.
Other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer as hereinafter defined, the rights granted pursuant to this ordinance shall be a privilege to be held in personal trust by Grantee.

Any sale, transfer, lease, assignment or other transfer not made according to the procedures set forth in Section 4 shall void the rights granted by this ordinance. The sale, transfer, lease, assignment or other transfer in bulk of a major portion of the tangible assets of Grantee other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer shall be considered a transfer subject to the provisions of this Section 4. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1.1, Grantee may form a wholly-owned subsidiary and assign its rights under this Agreement to such subsidiary without prior consent of the City Council; provided, however, that Grantee shall provide notice of such assignment and full disclosure to the BACP as to the nature of such subsidiary within thirty (30) days of such assignment.

  1. Removal and Relocation.
 
The City reserves the right to exercise its police or proprietary powers, to modify, vacate or transfer what is now the Authorized Routes for a public purpose. Grantee acknowledges that the City has predominant right to use the Authorized Routes in the placement, maintenance and repair of sewers, water mains and other public utility facilities or to relocate or remove Grantee's System where the City determines public convenience would be enhanced or for any other public purpose, including, but not limited to, the use of the Authorized Routes for public transportation purposes.
 
The permit referred to in Section 11.1 maybe amended or revoked in whole or in part by the BACP whenever the BACP or the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation considers it necessary or advisable for a public purpose. Grantee shall make no claim for costs or damages against the City by reason of such removal or relocation provided advance notice is given and such removal or relocation is required for a proper public purpose. Upon thirty (30)
 
7
 
 
days written notice to Grantee of partial or complete revocation of such permit from the BACP, Grantee shall remove, modify, replace or relocate all or any portion of its facilities as required at its own expense. Said thirty (30) day period maybe extended by the BACP at his or her sole discretion. In the event that Grantee does not remove, modify, replace or relocate its facilities as required by said notice within the thirty (30) day period (or extension thereof) described in the preceding sentence, the BACP may cause the same to be done at Grantee's expense and all expenses incurred or damages paid by the City on account of such action shall be paid by Grantee upon demand. Grantee shall remove, replace or relocate or modify at its own expense, the installation of any of its facilities as may be deemed necessary by any other appropriate governmental authority to meet its proper responsibilities. In the event the City exercises its predominant right to use any part of the Authorized Routes for a public purpose, the City shall reasonably cooperate with Grantee in finding an alternate site for any telecommunications facilities removed and in avoiding disruption to Grantee's Services. In an emergency, as determined by the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation, the City may order Grantee to remove or relocate its facilities within forty-eight (48) hours. Upon receipt of such notice, City and Grantee shall provide for such removal or relocation as promptly as possible within such time frame as shall be reasonable and Grantee shall diligently proceed on such agreed-on basis. If the City exercises any of its rights pursuant to this Section 3.3, Grantee shall have the option, upon notice to the BACP of abandoning the portion of its System to be removed or relocated and deleting such portion from the Authorized Routes. Any relocation or abandonment of Grantee's System pursuant to this Section 3.3.2 shall be conducted with the approval of the CDOT and shall be automatically considered within the Authorized Routes and an amended or restated Exhibit 1 shall be filed with this ordinance. The calculation of the Annual Fee shall be adjusted according to such abandonment or relocation.
  1. Fire or Other Disaster.
 
Wherever, in case of fire or other disaster, it becomes necessary in the judgment of the City to remove or damage any part of Grantee's System, no charge shall be made by Grantee against the City for restoration and repair.
  1. Temporary Relocation Or Removal.
 
At the request of any person holding a valid building permit issued by the City or other appropriate government authority and upon reasonable notice, depending on the circumstances, but not, in any case, less than thirty (30) days, Grantee shall temporarily raise, lower or remove its cables as may be necessary for the performance of the work so permitted, subject to payment in advance by the permit holder to the Grantee of the direct expenses of such temporary move, including standby time.
 
Section 3.4    No Burden On Public Ways.
 
Grantee shall not attempt to construct or install its Interoffice Telecommunications System in such a fashion as to unduly burden the present or future use of the Authorized Routes. In designing its System, Grantee shall not provide for conduit space in excess of Grantee's
 
8
 
 
present or reasonably anticipated future needs. The Commissioner of the Department of Transportation is authorized to regulate the size of the conduit system used or to be used by Grantee, as well as other physical characteristics of Grantee's System. In the event that the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation shall determine that any portion of Grantee's System, either planned or presently constructed, unduly burden any portion of the Public Ways, now or in the future, Grantee shall be required either to modify its System, or to take such actions as the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation shall determine for the sake of public convenience to eliminate the problem within the time frame provided by the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation and the Code. Failure to comply with this Section 3.4 in a timely fashion shall be grounds for revocation of the permit described in Section 11.1.

The sale, transfer, lease, assignment or other transfer in bulk of a major portion of the tangible assets of Grantee other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer shall be considered a transfer subject to the provisions of this Section 4. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1.1, Grantee may form a wholly-owned subsidiary and assign its rights under this Agreement to such subsidiary without prior consent of the City Council; provided, however, that Grantee shall provide notice of such assignment and full disclosure to the BACP as to the nature of such subsidiary within thirty (30) days of such assignment.
