The City and the company agree to take all reasonable and necessary actions to assure that the terms of this franchise are performed. The company reserves the right to seek a change in its tariffs, including but not limited to the rates, charges, terms, and conditions of providing utility service to the City and its residents, and the City retains all rights that it may have to intervene and participate in any such proceedings.
(a) 
Notice/Cure/Remedies.
Except as otherwise provided in this franchise, if a party (the “breaching party”) to this franchise fails or refuses to perform any of the terms or conditions of this franchise (a “breach”), the other party (the “non-breaching party”) may provide written notice to the breaching party of such breach. Upon receipt of such notice, the breaching party shall be given a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days, in which to remedy the breach. If the breaching party does not remedy the breach within the time allowed in the notice, the non-breaching party may exercise the following remedies for such breach:
(1) 
Specific performance of the applicable term or condition; and
(2) 
Recovery of actual damages from the date of such breach incurred by the non-breaching party in connection with the breach, but excluding any consequential damages.
(b) 
Termination of Franchise by City.
In addition to the foregoing remedies, if the company fails or refuses to perform any material term or condition of this franchise (a “material breach”), the City may provide written notice to the company of such material breach. Upon receipt of such notice, the company shall be given a reasonable time, not to exceed 90 days, in which to remedy the material breach. If the company does not remedy the material breach within the time allowed in the notice, the City may, at its sole option, terminate this franchise. This remedy shall be in addition to the City’s right to exercise any of the remedies provided for elsewhere in this franchise. Upon such termination, the company shall continue to provide utility service to the City and its residents until the City makes alternative arrangements for such service and until otherwise ordered by the PUC and the company shall be entitled to collect from residents and shall be obligated to pay the City, at the same times and in the same manner as provided in the franchise, an aggregate amount equal to the amount which the company would have paid as a franchise fee as consideration for use of the City streets.
(c) 
Company Shall Not Terminate Franchise.
In no event does the company have the right to terminate this franchise.
(d) 
No Limitation.
Except as provided herein, nothing in this franchise shall limit or restrict any legal rights or remedies that either party may possess arising from any alleged breach of this franchise.
