Exhibit A-1 attached. The Grantee shall not be required to provide end-user equipment. The City may designate relocated or additional live programming sites provided that the City shall pay the actual construction cost of connecting such relocated or additional live programming sites prior to the Grantee's construction of same. The Grantee must ensure that the System meets the technical standards attached as Exhibit B at all live origination sites. The Grantee must further ensure that the City can "narrowcast" programming originated from City Hall consistent with Section 4.2c. e. High Definition. (i) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Effective Date, unless delayed by events out of Grantee's reasonable control, the Grantee shall convert the Commission's area -wide PEG Access Channel (i.e. the Channel that is not "narrowcast" to each member city pursuant to Section 4.2(c)) to high definition ("HD") provided that the programming signals are provided to the Grantee in HD and meet Grantee's technical specifications for HD channels. Thereafter, at such time as Grantee makes at least 90% of all non -PEG Channels available in HD, the Grantee shall also convert the "narrowcast" PEG Access Channel to HD provided that the programming signals are provided to the Grantee in HD and meet Grantee's technical specifications for HD channels. The City understands that, although the Grantee must ensure that the PEG Access Channels are cablecast on the Basic Cable Service tier and available to all Subscribers at no additional charge, the HD PEG Access Channel will not be located on the Basic Cable tier, the signal from the HD PEG Access Channels may not be available in HD on the Basic Cable tier of service, and Grantee shall have no obligation to carry PEG Access Channels in more than one format; i.e. dual carriage. Grantee's costs to purchase equipment to convert and distribute programming on the PEG Access Channels in HD will be reimbursed by the City or Commission in an aggregate amount not to exceed Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7500.00) within sixty (60) days of receipt of invoices evidencing Grantee's expenditures. ii) The City acknowledges that in order to receive Access Channels in HD format Subscribers may be required to buy or lease special equipment, or pay additional HD charges applicable to all HD services, f. PEG Access Capital Support. In addition to the requirements of Section 4.2(a) -(d) above, the Grantee shall collect and remit a PEG capital fee of up to eighty-five cents ($.85) per Subscriber, per month ("PEG Capital Fee"). The Grantee shall remit such payments on the same schedule as the Franchise Fee. All amounts paid shall be subject to audit and recomputation and acceptance thereof does not constitute an accord that amounts paid are correct. The PEG Capital Fee as of the Effective Date is eighty-five cents ($.85) per Subscriber, per month. Grantee may itemize any PEG Capital Fee on Subscriber's bills. Payment by Grantee must be separate from and in addition to any Franchise Fee. g. Use of PEG Capital Fee. The City and Grantee agree that the City will expend the PEG Capital Fees solely for capital costs (consistent with GAAP) associated with PEG Access. In consideration for Grantee's obligation to remit the PEG Capital Fee, the City agrees to provide financial support for PEG Access that is equivalent to the amount of PEG Capital Fees collected and provided to the City. Within sixty (60) days of written request, the City shall provide Grantee with an annual report of any expenditures of the PEG Access Capital Fee to insure such fees are used for capital costs related to PEG Access. The report shall also demonstrate how the City fulfilled its requirement to provide matching support for PEG Access. Based on the report, the Grantee may send a written 526220v5 RJV SH255-14 5
