(A) Subscribers shall have the right to continue to receive service so long as their financial and other obligations to grantee are honored. Grantee shall at all times, and under all conditions, to the greatest extent economically and technically possible, maintain continuity of service. In the event of an assignment of the cable system, the assignor shall cooperate with the city and the assignee in order to maintain continuity of service to all subscribers.
(B) In the event grantee wilfully fails to operate the cable system for a period of five consecutive days without prior approval of the city, the city may, in its sole discretion, elect to operate the cable system or designate an operator until grantee restores service under conditions acceptable to the city, or until the cit selects a permanent operator. During the entire period while the city operates the cable system on behalf of grantee, or causes another party to do so, the city shall be entitled to collect any and all revenues from the operation of the cable system, and grantee shall reimburse the city for all reasonable costs or damages in excess of the revenues collected by the city that are caused by grantee's failure to perform.
