violation, may be assessed from the first day of the violation or incident.These damages represent
both parties' best estimate of the damages resulting from the specified injury. Imposing liquidated
damages will invoke the dispute resolution provisions as provided in this Franchise, but will not
relieve Grantee from the obligation to pay liquidated damages.
12.3 Grantor also may terminate this Franchise if Grantee materially breaches or otherwise fails to
perform, comply with or otherwise observe any of the terms and conditions of this franchise, or
fails to maintain all required licenses and approvals from federal, state, and local jurisdictions, and
fails to cure such breach or default within thirty(30)calendar days of Grantor's providing Grantee
written notice thereof,or, if not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty(30)calendar days,
within such other reasonable period of time upon which the parties may agree.
12.4 This Franchise shall not be terminated except upon a majority vote of the
College Station City Council, after reasonable notice to Grantee and an opportunity to be heard,
provided that if exigent circumstances necessitate immediate termination,the hearing may be held
as soon as possible after the termination.
12.5 In the event of termination under this Franchise, Grantee shall immediately discontinue
operation of the pipeline through the Franchise Area. Either party may in such case invoke the
dispute resolution provisions herein. Alternatively, Grantor may elect to seek relief directly in
District Court, in which case the dispute resolution requirements shall not apply in this limited
situation. Once the Grantee's rights to Operate in the Franchise Area have terminated, Grantee
shall comply with the Franchise provision regarding removal and/or abandonment of Facilities.

12.6 Grantor's failure to exercise a particular remedy at any time shall not waive Grantor's right
to terminate, assess penalties, or assert any other remedy at law or equity for any future breach or
default of Grantee.
12.7 Termination of this franchise shall not release Grantee from any liability or obligation with
respect to any matter occurring prior to such termination, nor shall such termination release
Grantee from any obligation to remove or secure the pipeline pursuant to this Franchise and to
restore the Franchise Area.
12.8 The parties acknowledge the covenants set forth herein are essential to this Franchise, and,
but for the mutual agreements of the parties to comply with such covenants, the parties would not
have entered into this Franchise. The parties further acknowledge they may not have an adequate
remedy at law if the other party violates such covenant; therefore, the parties shall have the right,
besides any other rights they may have,to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction, injunctive
relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the
covenants contained herein, should the other party fail to perform them.
Section 13. Dispute Resolution.
13.1 In the event of a dispute between Grantor and Grantee arising by reason of this Franchise,the
dispute shall first be referred to the operational officers or representatives designated by Grantor
and Grantee to have oversight of the administration of this Franchise. The officers or
representatives shall meet within thirty (30) calendar days of either party's request for a meeting,
whichever request is first, and the parties shall make a good faith effort to achieve a resolution of
the dispute.
13.2 In the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute under the procedure set forth in this
section, then the parties hereby agree the matter shall be referred to mediation. The parties shall
mutually agree upon a mediator to assist them in resolving their differences. If the parties cannot
agree upon a mediator,the parties shall jointly obtain a list of three(3)mediators from a reputable
dispute resolution organization and alternate striking mediators on that list until one remains. A
coin toss shall determine who may strike the first name. If a party fails to notify the other party of
which mediator it has stricken within two (2) business days, the other party shall select the
mediator from those mediators remaining on the list. Any expenses incidental to mediation shall
be borne equally by the parties.
13.3 If the parties fail to achieve a resolution of the dispute through mediation, either party may
then pursue any available judicial remedies,provided that if the party seeking judicial redress does
not substantially prevail in the judicial action, it shall pay the other party's reasonable legal fees
and costs incurred in the judicial action.

performance of the Grantee's obligations and performance under this Pipeline Franchise and indemnify the
Cita,requiring Grantee to guarantee and indemnify the City that it will meet the requirements set forth in the

NOW THEREFORE, this Performance and Indemnity Bond shall remain in effect as long as the

the period said Pipeline Franchise is in effect or during the period Grantee's pipeline(s) occupy or operate
within any franchised area, including all provisions referred to therein and shall comply strictly with each and
every provision thereof, including all warranties and indemnities therein and with this bond. Otherwise, this

It is further understood and agreed that the Surety does hereby relieve the City of College Station or
