The franchisee is obligated to obtain pole space and other facilities from the towns of Lillington, Angier, Erwin, Coats, any utility companies, and other lawful users at its own expenses and costs and copies of all pole use agreements in whatever form as to be filed with the County Manager. In the event of termination for failure to construct the CATV system or expiration of the franchise, the franchisee is to relinquish all rights to pole use immediately and enter into whatever agreements and execute whatever documents may be necessary to accomplish such relinquishment. In the event of termination of the franchise once the system is operating, the franchisee is to relinquish all rights to pole use after a reasonable time has elapsed for the franchisee to attempt to sell the system; however, during such time the franchisee shall diligently be attempting to find a buyer. Such reasonable time, unless otherwise agreed to by the county, shall be nine months. This provision may be enforced by appropriate equitable remedy from a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in G.S. § 153A-123. Such equitable relief includes, but is not limited to, injunctions and orders of abatement and upon refusal to comply, the franchisee may be cited for contempt.
