In the event of a public emergency that creates an imminent threat to the health, safety, or property of Municipality or its residents, Municipality may remove or relocate the applicable portions of the Network Facilities without prior notice to Licensee. Municipality will, however, make best efforts to provide prior notice to Licensee before making an emergency removal or relocation. In any event, Municipality will promptly provide to Licensee a written description of any emergency removals or relocations of Licensee's Network Facilities. Licensee will reimburse Municipality for its actual, reasonable, and documented costs or expenses incurred for any such work performed by Municipality, the direct cause of which was Licensee's construction, installation, operation, maintenance, repair, or removal of its Network Facilities. Licensee's obligation to reimburse Municipality under this section shall be separate from Licensee's obligation to pay the License Fee (as defined below). 3.2. Removal of Abandoned Network Facilities. If Licensee abandons any portions of its Network Facilities ("Abandoned Network Facilities"), Licensee will notify Municipality and will either remove the facilities at its own expense within a commercially reasonable period of time or may abandon some or all of the Abandoned Network Facilities in place. Abandoned Network Facilities do not include Network Facilities intended for emergency use, redundant Network Facilities, or Network Facilities intended to meet future demand or capacity needs. 3.3. Relocation to Accommodate Governmental Purposes. If Licensee's then-existing Network Facilities would interfere with Municipality's planned use of the Public ROW for a legitimate governmental purpose, such as the construction of a new water or sewer line or the relocation of a public road, Licensee will, upon written notice from Municipality, relocate its Network Facilities at Licensee's own expense to such other location or locations in the Public ROW as may be mutually agreed by the parties, taking into account the needs of the Municipality's governmental purpose and Licensee's interest in maintaining the integrity and stability of its FTTP Network. Licensee will relocate its Network Facilities within a commercially reasonable period of time agreed to by the parties, taking into account the urgency of the need for relocation, the difficulty of the GOOGLE FIBER CONFIDENTIAL License Agreement Between City of Round Rock and Google Fiber Texas LLC I Page 4 of 13 r4.7 Google Fiber Contract No. 923631 relocation, and other relevant facts and circumstances, except that Municipality may not require Licensee to relocate or remove its Network Facilities with less than 120 days' notice. 3.4. Relocation to Accommodate Non-Governmental Purposes. If Licensee's then-existing Network Facilities would interfere with Municipality's planned use of the Public ROW or Municipality property for a non-governmental (e.g., commercial) purpose, or with a third- party's use of the Public ROW, Licensee will not be required to relocate its Network Facilities unless Municipality or the third party enters into an agreement with Licensee under which Municipality or the third party would, at a minimum: (a) identify and arrange for a new location for Licensee's Network Facilities that is acceptable to Licensee, (b) agree to a commercially reasonable period of time for the relocation, which in no event will be less than 120 days; and (c)agree to reimburse all of Licensee's reasonable direct and indirect costs, expenses, and losses associated with the requested relocation. 3.5. Non-Discrimination. Municipality will at all times treat Licensee in a non-discriminatory manner as compared to other non-incumbent holders of local or state franchise authority offering facilities-based broadband Internet access services. 3.6.

When removal or relocation is required under this Agreement, Licensee will, after the removal or relocation of the Network Facilities, at its own cost (except to the extent subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof), repair and return the Public ROW in which the facilities were located to a safe and satisfactory condition in accordance with the construction-related conditions and specifications as established by Municipality. 4.

Contractors to be Licensed. Licensee's contractors and subcontractors used for the Work will be properly licensed under applicable law. 4.3. Authorized Individuals. Licensee's contractors and subcontractors may submit individual permit applications to Municipality on Licensee's behalf, so long as the permit applications are signed by individuals that Licensee has authorized to act on its behalf via a letter of authorization provided to Municipality in the form attached as Exhibit A ("Authorized Individuals"). Municipality will accept permit applications under this Agreement submitted and signed by Authorized Individuals, and will treat those applications as if they had been submitted by Licensee under this Agreement. 5.

Defense.
