§ 818.18 TERMINATION OF FRANCHISE BY TOWNSHIP.
   (a)   In addition to all other rights and powers given to the township by this chapter, or otherwise, the township reserves the right to terminate and cancel the franchise granted and all rights and privileges of the company hereunder, in the event that the company:
      (1)   Violates any provision of this chapter or any rule, order or determination of the township or the Board of Township Commissioners made pursuant to this chapter; or
      (2)   Becomes insolvent or otherwise unable or unwilling to pay its debts or is adjudged as bankrupt.
   (b)   Such termination and cancellation shall be by ordinance duly adopted after 30 days’ notice to the company and shall in no way affect any of the township’s rights under the franchise or any provision of law. In the event that such termination and cancellation depend upon a finding of fact, such finding of fact shall be made by the Advisory Council with written reports to the Board of Township Commissioners.
   (c)   The company agrees that it does release and shall hold the township harmless from all claims arising by reason of termination or cancellation of the franchise under this section.
