propose certain franchise modifications to the franchisee and make any given renewal contingent
upon acceptance of such modifications. Renewal shall be preceded by a public hearing held at
least thirty (30) days in advance of decision by the Board of Commissioners. A renewal may

4. Cost of Service;

5. That Section 8B of the ordinance be amended to read as follows:
B. Service. Within the first year after the effective date of the franchise the franchisee
agrees to make available basic CATV service to all residents of the County within the basic
service area as set forth in franchisee's application. Thereafter, franchisee shall provide
service in all areas of the County contiguous to the Franchisee's then existing cables where
the average density of residential units is equal to or greater than 30 residential units per
cable mile, provided that the percentage of the franchise area to be served where there are
30 residential units per cable mile shall not be less than:
1. 50% at the end of 2 years.
2. 70% at the end of 3 years.
3. 80% at the end of 4 years.
4. 100% at the end of 5 years.
Franchisee shall extend cable television service to those areas with an average density
of at least 30 occupied residential units per mile of cable. In addition, Franchisee shall
extend cable television service to areas of lesser density, upon written request of any five (5)
or more customers living within one -half mile from each other as follows: Franchisee shall
determine the gross revenue that it would receive should franchisee aerially construct its
cable system and extend cable television service to such customers and assuming the requesting
individual subscribed to the service. Franchisee shall also determine the costs of the requested
construction. Franchisee shall also determine what would be its gross revenue were there 30
occupied dwellings per mile of cable and assuming that potential subscribers became franchisee's
customers at a rate equal to its system wide penetration rate within the County. Franchisee shall
determine his gross annual yield on investment under both the former and the latter situations.
Franchisee shall pay as its portion of the costs of extension an amount which would give it the
same gross annual yield on investment in the former situation as it would have had in the latter
situation. The balance of the costs of construction shall be advanced, pro rata, prior to
construction commencing, by the requesting customers. In addition, the requesting parties shall
agree to pay for the service for a period of two years. For two (2) years subsequent to
completion of extension (or until there are 30 occupied dwellingsper mile of cable along such
extension), said prorata shares shall be recalculated as additional customers along said
extension subscribe to Franchisee's system. Said additional customers shall pay their prorata
share of originally having made such payments shall receive a refund equal to the excess of their
6
original prorata subscriber extension costs payment over and recalculated prorata share together
with any prior refund. At the end of said two (2) years period, payments for subscribers service
extension costs remaining in the Franchisee's possession should be credited to its capital plant
account.
6. That Section 9C of the ordinance be amended to read as follows:.
C. Adjustment to Rates. Initial rates and charges for basic sources. and for installation and
disconnect shall be fixed in the Franchise application. Thereafter, the County or the franchisee
may request rate adjustments at any time. After a public hearing affording due notice to the
Franchise and other interested persons, the Board of Commissioners may adjust rates. (Public
Hearing advertisement to be once per week in a newspaper of general circulation in the County
for two weeks preceding hearing). The criterion to determine whether rates adjustments shall be
permitted are the same as those currently set forth in Chapter 162 of the North Carolina General
Statutes for rate adjustment hearings related to rate adjustments for public utilities other
than motor carriers and certain water and sewer utilities. Franchisee may appeal the decision
of the Board to the Courts as permitted by law.
However, the Franchisee may increase or decrease its rates at any time, without prior
Board approval, provided that no increase has been made in the preceding six months and provided
that the annualized rate of increase within a given twelve month period shall not exceed the
average annual rate of increase over the preceding twelve months in the "Consumer Price Index
for all Urban Consumers and U. S. City Average Other Utilities and Public Services (1967 -100) as
Published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics." (In the event
that at any time The United States Department of Labor begins publishing a Consumer Price Index
on the annual cost adjustments in Cable T. V. costs in particular then that index and its base
year shall be used in lieu of the index for Other Utilities and Public Services). The Franchisee
shall notify the County in writing at least ninety days in advance of the effective date of any
proposed rate increase within the limits set forth above. The County may then challenge the
increase and schedule meetings, hearings, request additional information, or take whatever action
it deems appropriate. If no such action is taken within 60 days of receipt of original written
notice by the County, then the increase will automatically take effect.
Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph rates shall not be changed without
Board approval, except that nothing in this provision shall prohibit the reduction or waiving of
charges in conjunction with promotional campaign for the purpose of attracting subscribers.

payments made to the County by the franchisee, such as pole rental, business licenses and other
fees not based on gross revenues. Payment shall be accompanied by a certified annual report
showing the basis for the computation and such other relevant facts as may be required by the
County. No acceptance of any payment shall be construed as an accord that the amount paid is,
in fact, the correct amount, nor shall such acceptance of paymnet be construed as a release of
any claim the County may have for further or additional sums payable under the provisions of this
Ordinance. All amounts paid shall be subject to recomputation by the County within sixty (60)
days of the receipt of the franchise annual report. This time limitation shall not apply should
