<br />(a) CUSTOMER INDEMNIFICATION. Unless prohibited under applicable law, Customer at its own expense, shall
<br />indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Spectrum, its affiliates, service providers, and suppliers, and their directors, employees,
<br />representatives, officers and agents (the "Indemnified Parties") against any and all third -party claims, liabilities, lawsuits,
<br />damages, losses, judgments, costs, fees and expenses incurred by Indemnified Parties, including reasonable attorney and other
<br />professional fees and court costs incurred by Indemnified Parties, to the full extent that such arise from or relate to any one or
<br />more of the following:
<br />i. Customer's misuse of the Services;
<br />ii. Customer's failure to comply with any applicable law, order, rule, regulation or ordinance or this Service Agreement; or
<br />iii. Personal injury or tangible property damage caused by Customer's or its employees' or agents' negligence or willful
<br />misconduct.
<br />(b) SPECTRUM INDEMNIFICATION. Spectrum shall indemnify and defend the Customer, its City Council, officials,
<br />directors, officers, agents and employees, (the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all third party claims, liabilities,
<br />lawsuits, damages losses, judgments, costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' and other professionals' fees
<br />and court costs„ for bodily injury, death, or tangible property damage directly caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
<br />Spectrum, its employees, agents, or contractors, at the Service Location(s) as a direct result from Spectrum's installation,
<br />removal or maintenance of the Spectrum Equipment.
<br />Indemnified Parties shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in the defense of the claim, at the indemnified party's
<br />cost.
<br />16. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. As between the Parties, Spectrum shall obtain and maintain at its own expense all
<br />licenses, approvals and regulatory authority required by law with respect to Spectrum's operation and provision of the Services
<br />as contemplated in the Service Agreement, and Customer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense all licenses, approvals
<br />and regulatory authority required by law with respect to Customer's use of the Services as contemplated in the Service
<br />Agreement.
<br />Unless specified otherwise in the Service Agreement, each Party shall give all notices, pay all fees and comply with all applicable
<br />laws, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to its performance obligations specified in the Service Agreement. The Service
<br />Agreement is subject to all applicable federal, state, or local laws and regulations in effect in the relevant jurisdiction(s) in which
<br />Spectrum provides the Services. If any provision of the Service Agreement contravenes or is in conflict with any such law or
<br />regulation, then the terms of such law or regulation shall take priority over the relevant provision of the Service Agreement. If
<br />the relevant law or regulation applies to some but not all of the Services being provided under the Service Agreement, then such
<br />law or regulation shall take priority over the relevant provision of the Service Agreement only for purposes of those Services to
<br />which the law or regulation applies. Except as explicitly stated in the Service Agreement, nothing contained in the Service
<br />Agreement shall constitute a waiver by Spectrum of any rights under applicable laws or regulations pertaining to the installation,
<br />construction, operation, maintenance, or removal of the Services, facilities or equipment.
<br />17. REGULATORY CHANGES. In the event of any change in applicable law, regulation, decision, rule or order, including
<br />without limitation any new application of or increase in any government- or quasi -government -imposed fees or charges that
<br />increases the costs or other terms of Spectrum's delivery of Service to Customer, or, in the event of any increase in pole
<br />attachment or conduit charges applicable to any facilities used by Spectrum in providing the Services, Customer acknowledges
<br />and agrees that Spectrum may pass through to Customer any such increased fees or costs, but only to the extent of the actual
<br />increase. Spectrum shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer at least thirty (30) days in advance of the
<br />increase. In such case, and if such increase materially increases the Service Charges payable by Customer under the Service
<br />Agreement for the applicable Service, Customer may, within thirty (30) days after notification of such increase, terminate the
<br />affected Service without an obligation to pay Termination Charges, provided Customer notifies Spectrum at least thirty (30) days
<br />in advance of Customer's requested termination date. Further, in the event that Spectrum is required to file tariffs or rate
<br />schedules with a regulatory agency or otherwise publish or make generally available its rates in accordance with regulatory
<br />agency rules or policies respecting the delivery of the Services or any portion thereof, then the terms set forth in the applicable
<br />tariff or rate schedule shall govern Spectrum's delivery of, and Customer's use or consumption of the Services. In addition, if
<br />Spectrum determines that offering or providing the Services, or any part thereof, has become impracticable for legal or regulatory
<br />reasons or circumstances, then Spectrum may terminate the Service Agreement and any affected Service Orders without
<br />liability, by giving Customer thirty (30) days prior notice or any such notice as is required by law or regulation applicable to such
<br />determination.
