• pay a 5% franchise fee and provide 3% PEG support; <br /> • post a $100,000 performance bond and a $25,000 letter of credit and be subject to <br /> specified sanctions for various potential franchise violations; <br /> • provide insurance of at least $1,500,000 (the City's statutory limit on liability) per <br /> person, and$2,000,000 aggregate; <br /> • indemnify the City from suits or liabilities arising out of cable operations, the <br /> franchise, or a franchise breach, and specifically indemnify the commission and <br /> cities against any claim by Comcast. <br /> CenturyLink's affiliate currently has rights to access rights-of-way and has constructed a <br /> telephone system and provides telephone and internet access services in the cities. It is difficult <br /> to conceive of a scenario in which granting a cable franchise to CenturyLink with the foregoing <br /> requirements would increase risks to the commission, cities, or public resources. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> As required by Chapter 238, CenturyLink provided a complete franchise application. The <br /> application information and franchise terms we have negotiated address CenturyLink's <br /> qualifications to receive a cable franchise. We see no legal impediment to approving <br /> CenturyLink's application and issuing the franchise. <br /> 8 <br /> 486014v1 QU210-6 <br />
