In consideration of Grantee's undertaking hereunder as evidenced by its acceptance hereof, the City shall not engage in the business of providing electric service during the life of this franchise or any extension thereof in competition with the Grantee, its successors and assigns; but nothing herein contained shall be construed or deemed to prevent the City from exercising at any time any power of eminent domain granted to it under the laws of the State.
The City shall not grant a franchise to another electric service provider during the term of this franchise agreement unless the electric service provider has received approval to provide electrical service within the City from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, and the City has imposed the same franchise fee on the electric service provider as paid by the Grantee.
