THE STATE OF TEXAS §
COUNTY OF LUBBOCK §
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:
THAT subject to the terms, conditions and provisions herein
contained, the City of Lubbock, Texas, hereinafter referred to as
"City," does hereby enter into this Agreement with Poka-Lambro
Telephone Cooperative, Inc., hereinafter referred to as Licensee;"
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Licensee proposes to furnish telephone communication
services to residents of the City of Lubbock, Texas, and vicinity,
and the Licensee will need to erect and maintain aerial cables,
wires and associated appliances within the area to be served, and
desires to attach such cables, wires and appliances to poles of the
City; and
WHEREAS, the City is willing to permit, to the extent it may
lawfully do so, the attachment of said cables, wires and appliances
to its poles where, in its judgment, such use will not interfere
with its own service requirements, including considerations of
economy and safety;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms
and conditions herein contained, the parties hereto do hereby mutu-
ally covenant and agree as follows:
1. Licensee covenants that it will utilize the electric
utility pole installations of the City where available
and necessary to carry out its obligation under the terms
and conditions of its franchise from the City of Lubbock.
Provided, however, before making attachments to any pole
or poles of City, Licensee shall make written application
at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended connec-
tion, addressed to the Director of Lubbock Power and
Light or his agent and receive a permit therefor in such
form as may from time to time be prescribed by the City.
The application will include detailed drawings of the
proposed work and specific location data of the pole.
2. Licensee shall, at its own expense, make and maintain
said attachments in safest condition and in good repair
and in a manner suitable to the City; and so as will not
conflict with the use of said poles by the City or by
other Licensees or permittees currently using said poles,
or interfere with the working use of facilities thereon
or which may from time to time be placed thereon by City.
Licensee shall at any time, at its own expense, upon ade-
quate notice from the City, promptly relocate, replace or
remove its facilities placed on said poles and transfer
them to substituted poles, or perform any other work in
connection with said facilities that may be required by
the City; provided, however, that in cases of emergency
the City may arrange to relocate, replace or remove the
- 2
facilities placed on said poles by Licensee, transfer
them to substituted poles or perform any other work in
connection with said facilities that may be required in
the maintenance, replacement, removal or relocation of
said poles, the facilities thereon, or which may be
placed thereon, or for the service needs of the City, and
the Licensee shall, on demand, reimburse the City for the
expense thereby incurred. In the event the City should,
in case of emergency, arrange to relocate, replace or re-
move facilities placed on said poles by Licensee, or in
the event the City should transfer them to substituted
poles or perform any other work in connection with said
facilities which may be required in maintenance, replace-
ment, removal or relocation of said poles, the facilities
thereon or facilities which may be placed thereon, the
Licensee hereby waives any and all claims against the
City arising from such action on the part of the City,
and the Licensee shall indemnify, save and hold harmless
the City from any and all claims for injuries and damage
as a result of the City taking any of such actions as set
out in this paragraph, and said Licensee hereby waives
all claims against the City for liability for interfer-
ence with service because of any activity of the City
during such emergencies or repair of City facilities.
Licensee agrees to make no claims whatsoever against the
- 3 -
City for any activities on the part of the City taken
under any provisions of this paragraph.
3. Licensee's cables, wires and appliances, in each and
every location, shall be erected and maintained in accor-
dance with the requirements and specifications of the
City, and in compliance with any rules or ordinances of
the City now or hereafter placed in effect by the City or
other authority having jurisdiction.
4. In the event that any pole or poles of the City to which
Licensee desires to make attachments are inadequate to
support the additional facilities in accordance with the
aforesaid specifications, the Licensee shall indicate on
the application the changes necessary to provide adequate
poles, thereby requesting that these changes be made.
The City will replace such inadequate poles with suitable
poles and Licensee will, on demand, reimburse the City of
the entire nonbetterment portion of the cost and expense
thereof, including the increased cost of larger poles,
sacrificed life value of poles removed, cost of removal
less any salvage recovery, and the expense of transfer-
ring the City's facilities from the old to the new poles.
Where Licensee's desired attachments can be accommodated
on present poles of the City by rearranging the City's
facilities thereon, Licensee will compensate the City for
the full expense incurred in completing such rearrange-
ment. Licensee will also, on demand, reimburse the owner
- 4 -
or owners of other facilities attached to said poles for
any expense incurred by it or them in transferring or
rearranging said facilities. Any strengthening of poles
(guying) required to accommodate the attachments or
Licensee shall be provided by and at the expense of
Licensee.
5. The City reserves to itself, its successor and assigns,
the right to maintain its poles and to operate its facil-
ities thereon in such manner as will best enable it to
fulfill its own service requirements. The City shall not
be liable to Licensee for any interruption to service of
Licensee or for interference with the operation of the
cables, wires and appliances of Licensee arising in any
manner out of the use of the City's poles hereunder.
6. The City, because of the importance of its service,
reserves the right to inspect each new, changed or
rearranged installation of Licensee on its poles; and
Licensee shall, on demand, reimburse the City for the
expense of such inspections. Such inspections, made or
not, shall not operate to relieve Licensee of any respon-
sibility, obligation or liability assumed under this
Agreement.
7. Licensee shall pay to the City, for attachments made to
poles under this Agreement, a rental at the rate of FOUR
AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4.00) per pole per year from July 1,
1990 to July 1, 1992. On each July 1st thereafter, the
- 5 -
pole rental rates shall be increased by a percentage
amount equal to the amount represented by the percentage
change in the Consumer Price Index for Lubbock as pub-
lished by First National Bank at Lubbock from the
previous July 1st, should the Consumer Price Index for
Lubbock become unavailable, the index used will be the
Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U), the
official index published in various sources and as pre-
pared by the United States Department of Labor. In the
event the CPT is discontinued, the parties to this Agree-
ment will meet to select a substitute comparison index.
If the parties cannot agree upon a equivalent comparison
index, a flat percentage rate of six percent (6%) per
year will be used until a new index is agreed upon. Said
rental shall be payable semi-annually in advance on the
first day of January and the first day of July of each
year during which this Agreement remains in effect.
Semi-annual rental payments shall be based on the number
of poles upon which attachments are being maintained on
the first day of May and the first day of November,
respectively. The first payment of rental hereunder
shall include pro rata amount as may be due for use of
poles from the effective date hereof. A ten percent
(10%) late payment penalty will be charged if payment is
not received by the City of Lubbock by thirty (30) days
after the statement is rendered.
8. Licensee shall exercise such precautions to avoid damage
to facilities of the City and all other facilities cur-
rently supported on said poles, and hereby assumes all
responsibility for any and all loss or damage caused by
Licensee. Licensee shall immediately report to the
Director of Lubbock Power and Light the occurrence of any
damage done by Licensee, and hereby agrees to reimburse
the City for the expense incurred in making necessary re-
pairs.
9. Licensee shall indemnify, protect and save harmless and
insure the City from and against any and all claims and
demands for damages to property and injury or death to
person, including payments made under any workmen's com-
pensation law or under any plan for employee's disability
and death benefits, which may arise out of or be caused
by the erection, maintenance, present use or removal of
said attachments or by the proximity of the respective
cables, wires, apparatus and appliances of the parties
hereto or by any act of Licensee on or in the vicinity of
the City's poles. Licensee shall carry insurance, in
such form and in such companies as are satisfactory to
the City, to protect the parties hereto from and against
any and all claims, demands, actions, judgments, costs,
expenses and liabilities of every name and nature which
may arise or result, directly or indirectly, from or by
reason of such loss, injury or damage. The amounts of
- 7 -
such insurance against liability due to damage to
property shall be in the minimum amount of ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND AND N0/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) as to any one
person and FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND N0/100 DOLLARS
($500,000.00) as to any one accident, and against lia-
bility for injuries or death of persons, FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00) as to any one
person and ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00) as to any one accident, but in no
event will Licensee's liability be limited in the event
of loss or damage in excess of such sums. Licensee shall
also carry such insurance as will protect it from all
claims under any workmen's compensation laws in effect
that may be applicable to it. All insurance required
shall remain in force for the entire life of this Agree-
ment, and until all Licensee's lines and attachments are
removed from City's poles. The company or companies is-
suing such insurance shall be approved by the City and
each policy shall have attached thereto a waiver of sub-
rogation. Licensee shall submit to the City certificates
by each company insuring Licensee to the effect that it
has insured Licensee for all liabilities of Licensee
under this Agreement, and that it will not cancel or
change any policy of insurance issued to Licensee except
after thirty (30) days notice to the City Secretary of
the City of Lubbock.
- 8 -
10. Licensee may at any time remove its attachments from any
pole or poles of the City that are not needed to carry
out its obligation under its franchise from City of
Lubbock, but shall immediately give the City written
notice of such removal in a form prescribed by the City.
No refund of any rental shall be due on account of such
removal.
11. Upon notice from the City to Licensee that the use of any
pole or poles is forbidden by law or objectionable to any
public authority, the permit covering the use of such
pole or poles shall immediately terminate and the cables,
wires and appliances of Licensee shall be removed at once
from the affected pole or poles.
12. Bills for inspection expenses and the other charges prop-
erly prepared and documented under this Agreement other
than rentals shall be payable at the office of the Assis-
tant City Manager for Financial Services/Director of
Finance, City Hall, Lubbock, Texas, within thirty (30)
days after presentation. Nonpayment of bills shall con-
stitute a default of this Agreement.
13. Failure to enforce or insist upon compliance with any of
the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not con-
stitute a general waiver or relinquishment of any such
terms or conditions, but the same shall be and remain at
all times in full force and effect.
14. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting
the rights or privileges previously conferred by the
City, by contract or otherwise, to others, not parties to
this Agreement, to use any poles covered by this Agree-
ment; and the City shall have the right to continue and
extend such rights or privileges. The attachment privi-
leges herein granted shall at all times be subject to
such existing contracts and arrangements.
15. No use, however extended, of the City's poles under this
Agreement, shall create or vest in Licensee any ownership
or property rights in said poles, but Licensee's rights
therein shall be and remain a mere license. Nothing
herein contained shall be construed to compel, the City to
maintain any of said poles for a period longer than
demanded by its own service requirements.
16. If Licensee shall fail to comply with any of the provi-
sions of the Agreement, including the specifications
hereinabove referred to, or default in any of its obliga-
tions or covenants under this Agreement, and shall fail
within thirty (30) days after written notice from the
City to correct such default or noncompliance, or to
comply with any covenant herein made, the City may, at
its option, forthwith terminate Licensee's franchise
granted by the City of Lubbock, but failure to terminate
the franchise shall not be construed to act as an
estoppel or waiver of any cause of action for damages for
- 10 -
breach of contract or any other action in law or equity
available to City.
17. This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution,
and if not terminated in accordance with other applicable
provisions of this Agreement, shall continue in effect
during the term of the franchise heretofore granted to
Licensee by Lubbock City Ordinance. Upon termination of
this Agreement by termination of Licensee's franchise in
accordance with any of the terms of said franchise ordi-
nance, Licensee, shall, within a reasonable time, remove
its cables, wires and appliances from all poles of the
City. If not so removed the City shall have the right to
remove them at the cost and expense of the Licensee and
without any liability therefore.
18. Licensee shall furnish bond or evidence of contractual
insurance coverage in an amount not less than FIVE THOU-
SAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000.00) in a form and with
companies satisfactory to the City to guarantee the
payment of any sums which may become due to the City for
rentals, inspections, or for work performed for the bene-
fit of the Licensee under this Agreement, including the
removal of attachments upon termination of this Agreement
by any of its provisions.
19. A complete set of updated maps showing all cable facili-
ties and locations and specifying City poles shall be
provided to the City as requested ninety (90) days after
execution of this Agreement.

Agreement shall extend to and bind the successors and
assigns of the parties thereto.
