<br />Section 3. Should the Company decide to own and install its own lines, cable,
<br />or equipment (rather than merely leasing excess capacity), within thirty (30) days after
<br />completion of any work, the Company shall replace, repair, or restore in accordance with City
<br />standard specifications any sidewalks, streets, and City rights -of -way which are damaged or
<br />displaced by the Company in the construction and maintenance of its system. Upon failure of
<br />the Company to do so, the City may repair or replace such portion of the sidewalk, street, or
<br />right -of -way that may have been disturbed by the Company, and collect the cost so incurred
<br />from the Company. Should the Company decide to own and install its own lines, cable, or
<br />equipment within the City's right -of -way, the Company shall post an irrevocable letter of credit
<br />with the City in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or other security acceptable to
<br />the City Attorney to guarantee the timeliness and quality of such repair and restoration work,
<br />and to guarantee the removal of its lines from City rights -of -way should such be required upon
<br />expiration of the agreement term. In the event additional lines, cables, or wires are installed,
<br />and existing facilities and conduits are not used, the City may require the Company to increase
<br />the irrevocable letter of credit (or other security acceptable to the City Attorney) with the City
<br />to the amount of the twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00).

<br />underground or overhead lines within sixty (60) days of receipt of this notice. This Section 4
<br />applies only to lines owned by the Company.
<br />Section 5. Should the Company decide to own and install its own lines, cable,
<br />or equipment (rather than merely leasing excess capacity), the Company agrees and binds itself

<br />public places of the City, (b) the acquisition, erection, installation, maintenance, repair,
<br />operation, and use of any poles, wires, cables, conduits, lines, manholes, facilities, and

<br />Company by or under this agreement. Further, should the Company decide to own and install
<br />its own lines, cable, or equipment, the Company shall also obtain and maintain in force a
