(A) The grantee shall conform to all state laws and rules regarding cable communications, not later than one year after they become effective, unless otherwise stated, and to conform to all federal laws and regulations regarding cable communications as they become effective.
(B) The terms of this franchise shall cease to be of any force and effect if the grantee fails to obtain either a regular certificate of confirmation or renewal of a certificate of confirmation from the board: provided, however, that the grantee may operate a cable communications system while the Minnesota Cable Communications Board is considering the application for the renewal of its certificate of confirmation.
(C) In the event any material provision of the franchise is held to be invalid or preempted by federal or state laws, rules or regulations, prior to or as a result of the issuance of a certificate of compliance or certificate of confirmation by the FCC or the Minnesota Cable Communications Board, the city shall have the option to terminate or modify the franchise.
(D) (1) If any law, ordinance or regulation shall require or permit grantee to perform any service or prohibit grantee from performing any service which may be in conflict with the terms of this franchise, then as soon as possible following knowledge thereof, grantee shall so notify the city. If the city determines that a material provision of the franchise is affected by such law, ordinance or regulation, the city shall have the right to modify, alter, or repeal any of the provisions of the franchise as may be necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of the franchise. In the event the city modifies, alters, or repeals any provision of the franchise, grantee agrees to conform to the franchise as modified, altered or partially repealed.
(2) Failure of grantee to notify the city as provided in this section shall constitute a breach of a material provision of the franchise.
