LICENSE AGREEMENT
This License Agreement made this 27th day of March ,2000, by and between the CITY
OF SALINA, KANSAS, a municipal corporation (referred to as "the City") and TWIN V ALLEY
TELEPHONE COMPANY, INC., (referred to as "the Licensee").
RECITALS
A. The Licensee has informed the City of its desire to install two (2) underground fiber
optic telecommunication cables in a location identified as "1-135 and Water Well Road," involving
the placement of approximately 4,200 lineal feet of each cable (the "Cable) within the 1-135 right-
of-way, Water Well Road right-of-way, and the Ninth Street right-of-way, all as depicted on the
attached and incorporated Exhibit A (the "Right-of-Way").
B. The proposed location of the Cable traverses specifically the 601.51 feet of the
Water Well Road right-of-way lying east ofI-135 currently under the control of the City (the City's
Right-of- Way") and more generally the area to be affected by the future construction of a proposed
1-135 and Water Well Road interchange (the "Interchange").
C. The City has found that the granting of a license to the Licensee to install the Cable
in the Right-of-Way as shown on Exhibit A will not interfere with the City's or its franchisees'
current use of the City's Right-of-Way.
D. The City has further found that the proposed location of the Cable may be affected
by expansion of the City's current city limits and the construction of the Interchange to the extent
that construction of the Interchange may require relocation of the Cable at the Licensee's expense.
E. The City has found it to be in the public interest to grant a license to the Licensee to
install the Cable, subject to the terms and conditions outlined below.
THE PARTIES THEREFORE AGREE:
1. Grant. The City hereby grants a license (the "License") to the Licensee to install
and maintain the Cable in the City's Public Right-of-Way. The Licensee agrees that the terms of

City's Right-of-Way, (b) any of the Right-of-Way which may corne under the control of the City
during the term of this License Agreement, and (c) in all cases any Right-of-Way acquired in
relation to or affected by construction of the Interchange.
2. Limitation regarding Cable Service. The License does not authorize the Licensee
to provide Cable service either as a Cable operator or through carriage arrangements with any other
entity.
3. Fees and Charges. Licensee agrees to pay to the City a one time administrative fee
of $500 and a one time right-of-way use charge of $90 for each cable (600 feet at $.15 per lineal
foot) for total fees and charges of$680, payable upon execution of this License Agreement.
4. Use of Right-of-Way. In the use of the Right-of-Way under this License
Agreement, the Licensee shall be subject to all rules, regulations, policies, resolutions, and

and ordinances now or hereafter adopted or promulgated by the City relating to permits and fees,

requirements on the use ofthe public right-of-way and shall comply with the following:
a. The Licensee's use ofthe Right-of-Way shall in all matters be subordinate to
the City's use of the Right-of-Way for any public purpose. The Licensee shall coordinate
the placement of the Cable in a manner which minimizes adverse impact on public
improvements, as reasonably determined by the City. Where placement is not otherwise
regulated, the Cable shall be placed with adequate clearance from such public
improvements so as not to impact or be impacted by such public improvement.
b. All earth, materials, sidewalks, paving, crossings, utilities, public
improvements, or improvements of any kind injured or removed by the Licensee in its
activities under this License Agreement shall be fully repaired or replaced promptly by the
Licensee at its expense and to the reasonable satisfaction of the City or owner thereof.
c. All of the materials, plans, and installation of the Cable shall be approved by
or as directed by the City Engineer.
d. The Licensee shall keep and maintain accurate records and as-built drawings
depicting accurate horizontal and vertical location of the Cable as constructed or
reconstructed in the Right-of-Way after the date hereof. All points of the Cable shall be
horizontally located from street centerline, or section or quarter section lines or comers.

United States Geological Survey datum.
e. Prior to construction, reconstruction, or relocation of any facilities in the
Right-of-Way, the Licensee shall submit to the City Engineer for approval, plans and

withheld, delayed, or conditioned.
f. The Licensee shall cooperate promptly and fully with the City and take all
measures necessary to provide accurate and complete information regarding the nature and
locations, both horizontal and vertical, of the Cable located within the Right-of-Way when

requested by the City or its authorized agents for a public project. Such location and
identification shall be at the sole expense of the Licensee without expense to the City, its
employees, agents or authorized contractors. The Licensee shall have a person familiar
with the facilities, who is responsible for timely satisfying information needs of the City and

to protect and defend the Cable in the Right-of-Way from harm or damage. If the Licensee
fails to accurately or timely locate the Cable when requested, it will have no claim for costs

negligence or intentional conduct.
i. The Licensee shall notify the City not less than three (3) working days in
advance of any construction, reconstruction, repair, or relocation of the Cable which would
require any street closure which reduces traffic flow to less than two (2) lanes of moving
traffic. The City shall follow its policies in the grant or denial of such street closure, which
shall not be unreasonably delayed. In addition, all work performed in the traveled way or
which in any way impacts vehicular or pedestrian traffic shall be properly signed,
barricaded, and otherwise protected. Such signing shall be in conformance with the latest
edition of the Federal Highway Administration's Standards and Guideline for Work Zone
Traffic Control.

operation, testing, use, maintenance, and dismantling of the Cable in the Right-of-Way shall
be in accordance with applicable present and future federal, state, and City law and
regulation, including but not limited to the most recent editions of the National Electrical
Code, the National Electrical Safety Code and the Fiber Optic Cable Installation Standard
of the Telecommunications Industry Committee, or such substantive equivalents as may

the maximum liability for claims which could be asserted against the City for any number of claims
arising out of a single occurrence or accident under the Kansas Tort Claims Act, as it now exists or
may hereafter be amended, and will from time to time increase its limits in such amount as may be
necessary to at all times during the term of this license maintain such limits at the then maximum
liability for such claims under the Kansas Tort Claims Act. The policy shall provide that such
insurance may not be canceled by issuer thereof without at least thirty (30) days' written notice to
the City. The Licensee shall deliver to the City evidence of such insurance.
7. Title. By granting this license the City does not warrant title to or the right to
possess and occupy the Right-of-Way. In the event that it is determined that the City is not entitled
to possess and utilize the Right-of-Way, this License Agreement shall terminate and the Licensee
shall quit and surrender its use of the Cable in the Right-of-Way in compliance with this License
Agreement.
8. Corp of Engineer Approvals. Any permission granted pursuant to this License
Agreement to install the Cable shall be subject to and conditional upon approval by the Corp of

any purpose other than that specifically authorized under this License Agreement, all rights granted
hereunder to the Licensee shall immediately cease as if never granted and the Licensee shall
immediately quit and surrender its use of the Cable in the Right-of-Way. In the event that the
Licensee shall fail to comply with any other substantial term, condition or covenant of this License
Agreement within ten (10) days after written notice to do so has been mailed to them by the City, or
in the event the Licensee abandons its authorized use of the Right-of-Way, any such event shall be
deemed an immediate breach and forfeiture of the License Agreement which shall then terminate.
Upon such termination of this license, the Licensee will quit and surrender its use of the Cable in
the Right-of-Way in compliance with the terms of this License Agreement.
10. Term. The License shall commence upon execution of this License Agreement and
the payment by the Licensee of the fees and charges set forth above, and shall continue until the

use of the Right-of-Way in a manner in conflict with the License, and that the

c. Termination of the License pursuant to paragraph 9 above.
11. Removal of Cable. Upon termination of this License Agreement, the Licensee
shall have the right to remove the Cable within a reasonable time, not to exceed one hundred twenty
(120) days. In the event the Licensee chooses to exercise the right to remove the Cable, it shall
within the permitted time period restore the Right-of-Way from which the Cable is removed to as
good a condition as existed prior to the removal. In the event the Licensee should exercise its right
to remove the Cable but fail to properly restore the Right-of-Way, the City shall have the right to
cause the Right-of-Way to be restored and to charge any reasonable costs associated therewith to
the Licensee.
