5.20.340 Severability.
   If any material section or provision of this chapter relating to system design, line extension, service mix or levels, amendment, duration of franchise, and studio and other production facilities, or franchise awarded under it, is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, grantor shall thereupon make a determination of the effect upon the public interest caused thereby. If the grantor shall find, that a negative and material effect has been produced, then an involuntary modification contrary to the public interest shall be deemed to have occurred. Upon such an occurrence, the parties shall endeavor to renegotiate the terms of the franchise issued hereunder unless, following reasonable efforts by the parties to renegotiate the franchise terms, the parties are unable to reach an agreement.
