Any franchise granted shall be non-exclusive. The grantor specifically reserves the right to grant, at any time, such additional franchises for a cable system as it deems appropriate, subject to applicable state and federal law, provided that if the grantor grants an additional franchise on terms more favorable to the second grantee (whether by the grant of greater benefits or the imposition of lesser obligations), or if another party utilizing the public rights-of-way offers service competitive with grantee, then the initial grantee shall have the right to renegotiate its franchise to incorporate the more favorable terms and/or reduce its obligations to achieve competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory treatment.
