System capacity. During the term of this agreement
the grantee's cable system shall be capable of providing a minimum
of 85 channels of video programming with satisfactory reception available
to its customers in the franchise area.
10.2.
Service to school buildings. Provided that the building
owner/occupant holds the grantee harmless from any and all liability
or claims arising out of the provision and use of cable service required
by this subsection, the grantee shall provide free "basic" and "expanded
basic" tier cable service and free installation at one outlet to each
accredited K-12 public and private school, not including "home schools,"
located in the franchise area within 125 feet of the grantee's
distribution cable. For purposes of this subsection, "expanded basic"
shall mean that tier of cable service just above the most basic level
of service offered by the grantee. The cable service provided shall
not be used for commercial purposes, and such outlets shall not be
located in areas open to the public. The building owner/occupant shall
take reasonable precautions to prevent any use of the grantee's
cable system in any manner that results in the inappropriate use thereof
or any loss or damage to the cable system. The grantee shall not be
required to provide an outlet to such buildings where a nonstandard
installation is required, unless the franchising authority or building
owner/occupant agrees to pay the incremental cost of any necessary
cable system extension and/or nonstandard installation. If additional
outlets of cable service are provided to such buildings, the building
owner/occupant shall pay the usual installation and service fees associated
therewith.

distribution cable. "Municipal buildings" are those buildings owned
and occupied by the franchising authority for government administrative
purposes, and shall not include buildings such as storage facilities
at which government employees are not regularly stationed. For purposes
of this subsection, "expanded basic" shall mean that tier of cable
service just above the most basic level of service offered by the
grantee. The cable service provided shall not be used for commercial
purposes, and such outlets shall not be located in areas open to the
public. The franchising authority shall take reasonable precautions
to prevent any use of the grantee's cable system in any manner
that results in the inappropriate use thereof or any loss or damage
to the cable system. The franchising authority shall hold the grantee
harmless from any and all liability or claims arising out of the provision
and use of cable service required by this subsection. The grantee
shall not be required to provide an outlet to such buildings where
a nonstandard installation is required, unless the franchising authority
or building owner/occupant agrees to pay the incremental cost of any
necessary cable system extension and/or nonstandard installation.
If additional outlets of cable service are provided to such buildings,
the building owner/occupant shall pay the usual installation and service
fees associated therewith.
