Provided, however, if any such State or Federal law or regulation shall require Grantee to perform any service, or shall permit Grantee to perform any service, or shall prohibit Grantee from performing any service, in conflict with the terms of the franchise or any law or regulation of City, then as soon as possible following knowledge thereof, Grantee shall notify City of the point of conflict believed to exist between such regulations or law and the laws or regulations of City or the franchise.

If any provision of this ordinance or any related agreements is held by any court or by any Federal, State, or local agency of competent jurisdiction to be invalid as conflicting with any Federal, State, or local law, rule, or regulation now or hereafter in effect, or is held by such court or agency to be modified in any way in order to conform to the requirements of any such law, rule or regulation, and if said provision is considered nonmaterial by City, said provision shall be considered a separate, distinct, and independent part of this ordinance, and such holding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of all other provisions hereof. In the event that such law, rule, or regulation is subsequently rescinded, amended, or otherwise changed, so that the provision which has been held invalid or modified is no longer in conflict with the law, rules, and regulations then in effect, said provision shall thereupon return to full force and effect, and shall thereafter be binding on the parties hereto, provided that City shall give Grantee thirty days written notice of such change before requiring compliance with said provision.
