Cable in ROW I-35 & Waterwell Rd 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.
