14order to enforce this Franchise Agreement and who agree to maintain the confidentiality of all
such information. For purposes of this Section, the terms “proprietary or confidential” include,
but are not limited to, information relating to the Cable System design, customer lists, marketing
plans, financial information unrelated to the calculation of Franchise Fees or rates pursuant to
FCC rules, or other information that is reasonably determined by the Grantee to be competitively
sensitive. Grantee may make proprietary or confidential information available for inspection but
not copying or removal by the Franchise Authority’s representative. In the event that the
City/County/Village has in its possession and receives a request under the Illinois Freedom of
Information Act (5 ILCS 140/1 et seq.), or similar law for the disclosure of information the
Grantee has designated as confidential, trade secret or proprietary, the City/County/Village shall
notify Grantee of such request and cooperate with Grantee in opposing such request. Grantee
shall indemnify and defend the City/County/Village from and against any claims arising from the
City/County/Village’s opposition to disclosure of any information Grantee designates as
proprietary or confidential. Compliance by the City/County/Village with an opinion or directive
from the Illinois Public Access Counselor or the Illinois Attorney General under the Illinois
Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140/1 et seq., or with a decision or order of a court with
jurisdiction over the City/County/Village, shall not be a violation of this Section.
SECTION 6: Transfer of Cable System or Franchise or Control of Grantee
6.1.
Neither the Grantee nor any other Person may transfer the Cable System or the
Franchise without the prior written consent of the City/County/Village, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
6.2.
No transfer of control of the Grantee, defined as an acquisition of fifty-one
percent (51%) or greater ownership interest in Grantee, shall take place without the prior written
consent of the City/County/Village, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
6.3.
No consent shall be required, however, for (i) a transfer in trust, by mortgage,
hypothecation, or by assignment of any rights, title, or interest of the Grantee in the Franchise or
in the Cable System in order to secure indebtedness, or (ii) a transfer to an entity directly or
indirectly owned or controlled by Comcast Corporation.
6.4.
The Grantee, and any proposed transferee under this Section 6, shall submit a
written application to the City/County/Village containing or accompanied by such information as
is required in accordance with applicable law and FCC regulations, specifically including a
completed Form 394 or its successor, and in compliance with the processes established for
transfers under FCC rules and regulations, including Section 617 of the Cable Act, 47 U.S.C.
§537. Within thirty (30) days after receiving a request for consent, the City/County/Village
shall, in accordance with FCC rules and regulations, notify the Grantee in writing of the
additional information, if any, it requires to determine the legal, financial and technical
qualifications of the transferee or new controlling party. If the City/County/Village has not taken
final action on the Grantee’s request for consent within one hundred twenty (120) days after
receiving such request, consent shall be deemed granted. As a condition to granting of any
consent, the City/County/Village may require the transferee to agree in writing to assume the
obligations of the Grantee under this Franchise Agreement.
