(A) It shall be the right of all subscribers to continue receiving cable service insofar as their financial and other obligations to a licensee are honored.
(B) If the license terminates, the licensee shall cooperate with the town to ensure continuity of cable service to all subscribers for a period not to exceed 90 days. Said period may be extended by mutual agreement between the town and the licensee. During such period, the licensee shall be entitled to the revenues for any period during which it operates the cable system.
(C) If the licensee fails to operate the cable system for 96 consecutive hours without prior approval of the town or without just cause, the town may, at its option, operate the cable system or designate an operator until such time as licensee restores cable services under conditions acceptable to the town or a new permanent operator is selected. If the town is required to fulfill this obligation for a licensee, the licensee shall reimburse the town for all reasonable costs or damages that are the result of the licensee’s failure to perform.
