(1) Grantee is hereby authorized to extend the Cable System as necessary, desirable, or as required pursuant to the terms hereof within the City. However, at the effective date of this Franchise, the Grantee was capable of providing service to 90 percent of the City residents. Grantee shall develop the system such that 85 percent of the City residents are always capable of being served by the Grantee. However, Grantee's obligation to maintain the percentage shall be subject to Section 20-1-112(2).

(2) Whenever Grantee shall receive a request for service from at least fifteen (15) Subscribers within 1320 cable-bearing strand feet (one-quarter cable mile) of its trunk or distribution cable, it shall extend its Cable System to such Subscribers at no cost to said Subscribers; provided that such extension is technically feasible, and will not adversely affect the operation, financial condition, or market development of the Cable System, or as provided for under Section 20-1-112(3) of this Chapter.

(3) No Subscriber shall be refused service arbitrarily.

(4) For unusual circumstances, such as a Subscriber's request to locate his cable drop underground, the existence of more than one hundred fifty (150) feet of distance from distribution cable to connection of service to Subscribers, or a density of less than fifteen (15) Subscribers per 1320 cable-bearing strand feet of trunk or distribution cable, Cable Service or other service may be made available on the basis of a capital contribution in aid of construction, including cost of material, labor, and easements. For the purpose of determining the amount of capital contribution to be borne by Grantee and Subscribers in the area in which Cable Service may be expanded, Grantee will contribute an amount equal to the construction and other costs per mile, multiplied by a fraction whose numerator equals the actual number of potential Subscribers per 1320 cable-bearing stand feet of its trunks or distribution cable, and whose denominator equals fifteen (15) Subscribers. Potential Subscribers will bear the remainder of the construction and other costs on a pro rata basis. Grantee may require that the payment of the capital contribution in aid of construction borne by such potential Subscribers be paid in advance.
