any other purpose for which gas may now or hereafter be used in and to said municipality and its
inhabitants or any other person or persons within or without the corporate boundaries of said
municipality.
Section 2,
All facilities installed by Grantee shall be of sound material and good quality, and shall be
laid so that they will not interfere with the artificial drainage of the Grantor or its underground
fixtures, or with navigation in or the natural drainage of any stream. All facilities shall be installed in
accordance with applicable Federal, State and City regulations and in the absence of such regulations
in accordance with accepted industry practice. Within the public rights -of -way, the location and route
of the facilities by the Grantee shall be subject to the reasonable and proper regulation, direction and
control of the Grantor or the City official to whom such duties have been delegated. Such regulation
shall include, but not be limited to, the right to require in writing to the extent provided in Section 13
the relocation of Grantee's facilities at Grantee's cost within the public rights -of -way of the Grantor
whenever such relocation shall be reasonably necessary to accommodate the widening, change of
grade, or relocation by Grantor of streets or public rights -of -way, or construction or relocation by
Grantor of City utility lines or drainage facilities. The Grantee and the Grantor shall work together to
develop a procedure under which Grantee shall make available to the Grantor maps showing the
location of Grantee's facilities within the corporate limits of the City.
Section 3.
2
Except as provided herein, Grantee expressly agrees that it shall not undertake major
replacements or extensions of pipe, mains or other facilities within the boundaries of city parks
currently owned or later established by Grantor without the prior written consent of the City of
Huntsville. Grantee, however, shall not be required to remove or relocate its existing facilities in
City parks established as of the date of this ordinance nor shall Grantee be required to remove or
relocate existing facilities from land declared to be a City park subsequent to the date of this
ordinance. Provided further, that Grantee shall not be required to obtain such prior written consent
to perform routine maintenance or repairs of its facilities within city parks or when failure to repair,
replace or extend such facilities would, in the good faith opinion of Grantee, pose a danger to public
health or safety.
Section 4.
This Franchise shall extend to and include any and all territory that is annexed by the Grantor
during the term of this Franchise. Within sixty (60) days from the receipt of notice from the Grantor
of any such annexation, the Grantee shall assure that any and all customers within such annexed
territory are included and shown on its accounting system as being within the corporate limits of the
City of Huntsville. After such sixty (60) day period the payment provisions specified in Section 8 of
this Franchise shall apply to gross receipts received by the Grantee from customers located within
such annexed territory. Grantee shall true -up its map of City boundaries to the Grantor's map on an
annual basis.
Section 5.
Grantee and its contractors shall give Grantor reasonable advance notice, of the dates,
location and nature of all work to be performed on its facilities within the public rights -of -way..
3
While Grantee and Grantee's contractors must secure all permits that may be required, Grantee or
Grantee's contractor shall not be required to pay any fee in addition to the franchise fee in order to
perform work on Grantee's facilities within the parks, the streets and other public rights -of -way.
Grantee's property shall be so constructed and maintained as not to interfere unreasonably with
traffic over the public thoroughfares of said municipality and the same shall be laid in accordance
with the lines, grades, and conditions established by Grantor. Following completion of work in the
public rights -of -way, Grantee shall repair the affected public rights -of -way as soon as possible, but in
all cases Grantee shall comply with all City ordinances governing time periods and standards relating
to excavating in the public rights -of -way. No street, alley, highway or public place shall be
encumbered for a longer period than shall be necessary to execute the work.
Section 6.
Grantee shall not be required to run or extend any pipe a distance exceeding one hundred
(100) feet, not to exceed a diameter of two (Z) inches, in order to bring gas service to the property
line of each additional customer.
Section 7.
The service furnished hereunder by Grantee to the Grantor and its inhabitants shall be in
accordance with the quality of service rules of the Railroad Commission of Texas and all other
applicable local, state and federal regulations. Grantee shall furnish the grade of service to its
customers as provided by its rate schedules and shall maintain its system in reasonable operating
condition during the continuance of this Franchise. An exception to this requirement is automatically
in effect, but only for so long as is necessary, when caused by a shortage in materials, supplies and
equipment beyond the control of the Grantee as a result of fires, strikes, riots, storms, floods and
4
other casualties, governmental regulations, limitations and restrictions as to the use and availability
of materials, supplies and equipment and as to the use of the services, and unforeseeable and unusual
demands for service. In any of such events the Grantee shall do all things reasonably within its power
to restore normal service as quickly as practicable.
Section 8.
In consideration of the rights and privileges herein granted, after the effective date of this
ordinance, Grantee agrees to pay to Grantor quarterly during the continuance of this ordinance a
i
franchise fee equal to four percer�(4 %) of the Grantee's gross receipts for the preceding calendar
quarter received by the Grantee from the sale of gas within the corporate limits of the City of
Huntsville plus seven cents (7¢) per Mcf for natural gas transported by Grantee for its Transport
Customers during such quarter. "Transport Customer" means any person or entity for whom Grantee
transports gas through the distribution system of Grantee within the corporate limits of City for
consumption within the corporate limits of City. The franchise fees hereunder shall be calculated for
the calendar quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 and shall be
payable on or before the fifteenth day of May, August, November, and February following the
quarter for which payment is made, beginning with the first such date following the Effective Date of
this Franchise and each August 15th, November 15th, February 15th, and May 15th thereafter;
provided, however, the first such payment shall be prorated as necessary to reflect only those gross
receipts received and transportation volumes delivered by Grantee after the Effective Date of this
Franchise. In no event shall the Grantee be required to remit to the City franchise fee amounts that
for any reason whatsoever are not fully recoverable from its customers. If any payment due date
required therein falls on a weekend or bank holiday, payment shall be made on or before the close of
5
business of the first working day after the payment due date. All payments to Grantor shall be
accompanied by a certified statement of Grantee in a form prescribed by Grantor. Upon receipt of
such payments, the City Finance Officer shall deliver to the Grantee a receipt for such amount.
Should Grantee fail to tender payment to Grantor within ten (10) days following the date such
payment is due, Grantee shall pay to Grantor, as a late payment penalty, an additional amount equal
to three percent (3 %) of the amount otherwise payable to Grantor on such due date. The
consideration hereinabove set forth shall be paid and received in.lieu of any license, charge, fee,
street or alley rental, or other character of charge for the use and occupancy for the streets, alleys and
public places within the city, and in lieu of any pipe tax or inspection fee or tax, but shall not in any
way increase or diminish Grantee's obligation to pay Grantor ad valorem taxes or in any way
interfere with the collection thereof.
Any special taxes, rentals or other charges accruing after the effective date of this ordinance,
under the terms of any preexisting ordinance, or imposed upon Grantee by subsequent action of
Grantor shall, when paid to Grantor, be applied as a credit to the amount owed to Grantor under the
terms of this franchise agreement.
Section 9.
Grantee shall keep complete and accurate books of accounts and records of its business and
operations under and in connection with this Franchise. All such books of accounts and records shall
be kept at Grantee's principal office in Houston, Texas.
Grantor may conduct an audit or other inquiry or may pursue a cause of action in relation to
the payment of the franchise fee only if such audit, inquiry, or pursuit of a cause of action concerns a
payment made less than four (4) years before the commencement of such audit, inquiry, or pursuit of
0
a cause of action. Each party shall bear its own costs of any such audit or inquiry. Upon receipt of a
written request from Grantor, all books and records related to Grantee's operations under this
Franchise shall be made available for inspection and copying no later than thirty (30) days from
receipt of such request.
Section 10.
If the Legislature of the State of Texas amends the ceiling on utility gross receipts payments
to municipalities established by Tex. Tax Code § 182.025, then Grantor may prospectively change the
percentage of Grantee's gross receipts payable to Grantor under Section 8 of this Franchise to the
level established by such amendment; provided, however, that such change in the percentage of
Grantee's gross receipts payable to Grantor shall not become effective unless and until Grantor shall
have approved and authorized rate schedules acceptable to Grantee which will permit Grantee to
fully recover through its rates effective within the corporate limits of Grantor any increase in
amounts payable to Grantor resulting from such change.
Section 11.
GRANTEE, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL PROTECT AND HOLD
GRANTOR AND ITS OFFICERS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES HARMLESS AGAINST
ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DEMANDS FOR DAMAGES TO ANY PERSON OR
PROPERTY BY REASON OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF
GRANTEE'S NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, OR IN ANY WAY GROWING

PRIVILEGES HEREBY GRANTED, OR OF THE ABUSE THEREOF.
Section 12.
Grantee shall not prosecute or maintain any claims against Grantor or its employees for any
damage or injury to Grantee's pipelines or facilities resulting from Grantor's performance of work or
repairs upon city streets; provided, however, that the provisions hereof shall in no way limit
Grantee's right to prosecute or maintain any such claim against any person, association, or
corporation other than Grantor or its employees.
Section 13.
The Grantee shall, upon written request of the Grantor, relocate its facilities within public
rights -of -way at Grantee's own expense, exclusive of facilities installed for service directly to
Grantor, whenever such shall be reasonably necessary on account of the widening, change of grade,
or relocation by Grantor of streets or public rights -of -way, or construction or relocation by Grantor of
City utility lines or drainage facilities. Grantor shall bear the costs of all relocations of facilities
8
installed for service directly to Grantor and of any relocation of other facilities requested by Grantor
for reasons other than the widening, change of grade, or relocation by Grantor of streets or public
rights -of -way, or construction or relocation by the Grantor of City utility lines or drainage facilities.
Section 14.
Grantor, by granting of this ordinance, does not surrender or to any extent lose, waive, impair
or lessen the lawful powers, claims and rights now or hereafter vested in Grantor under the
Constitution and statutes of the State of Texas and under the Charter of the City of Huntsville to
regulate public utilities within Grantor's city limits, to regulate the rates of public utilities within
Grantor's city limits and to regulate the use of the streets by Grantee; and Grantee, by its acceptance
of this ordinance, agrees that all lawful powers and rights, whether regulatory or otherwise, as are or
as may be from time to time vested in or reserved to Grantor, shall be in full force and effect and
subject to the exercise thereof by Grantor at any time and from time to time. All of the regulations
and activities required by this Franchise are hereby declared to be governmental and for the health,
safety and welfare of the general public.
Section 15.
In the event Grantee, by act or omission, violates any term, condition or provision of this
ordinance, Grantor shall notify Grantee in writing of such violation. Grantee shall correct any such
violation within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.
Should Grantee fail or refuse to correct any such violation within such thirty (30) day period,
Grantor may terminate this agreement by ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City of
Huntsville; provided, however, before any such ordinance is adopted, Grantee must be given at least
sixty (60) days advance written notice, which notice shall set forth the causes and reasons for the
E
proposed termination and cancellation, and shall advise the Grantee that it will be provided an
opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Huntsville regarding such proposed action
before any such action is taken and shall set forth the time, date and place of the hearing.
Other than its failure, refusal or inability to pay its debts and obligations, including,
specifically, the payments to Grantor required by this ordinance, Grantee shall not be declared in
default or be subject to any sanction under any provision of this ordinance in those cases in which
performance of such provision is prevented by reasons beyond its control; provided, however, that

less than twelve (12) months before, the expiration of the term of this Franchise, Grantor shall have
the option to purchase Grantee's distribution system within the corporate limits of Grantor. Grantor
must present Grantee with written notice of Grantor's intent to exercise its option to purchase the
franchised property. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice, Grantee shall make a written offer
(the "Offer ") stating the cash price for the purchase and sale of said distribution system. Within
twenty (20) days of Grantor's receipt of the Offer, Grantor will submit written notice rejecting or
accepting the Offer. Should Grantor reject the Offer, Grantor and Grantee shall enter into good faith
negotiations to determine a cash price to be paid by Grantor for said distribution system. Failure of
Grantor and Grantee to agree on a cash price for Grantee's distribution system shall not constitute
grounds for termination or cancellation under Section 15 of this ordinance.
Should Grantor accept the Offer or should Grantee and Grantor reach an agreement on a cash
purchase price after good faith negotiations, Grantee shall not be required to sell or transfer said
10
distribution system to Grantor until the expiration of the term of this Franchise or such earlier time as
may be mutually agreeable to Grantee and Grantor. The foregoing notwithstanding, Grantor shall
not purchase Grantee's distribution system until the matter of the acquisition of such property has

voting therein.
Nothing in this Franchise shall be construed as limiting or otherwise affecting Grantor's

successors and assigns any exclusive rights or privileges of any nature whatsoever.

Section 19.
All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

years from and after the date which is sixty (60) days after the adoption and passage of this franchise
ordinance; provided Grantee files a written acceptance of this franchise ordinance with Grantor
