At any time during the term of this franchise, the City or the
company may propose amendments to this franchise by giving 30 days’
written notice to the other of the proposed amendment(s) desired,
and both parties thereafter, through their designated representatives,
will, within a reasonable time, negotiate in good faith in an effort
to agree upon mutually satisfactory amendment(s). However, nothing
contained in this section shall be deemed to require either party
to consent to any amendment proposed by the other party.
No alterations, amendments or modifications to this franchise
shall be valid unless executed by an instrument in writing by the
parties, adopted with the same formality used in adopting this franchise,
to the extent required by law. Neither this franchise, nor any term
hereof, may be changed, modified or abandoned, in whole or in part,
except by an instrument in writing, and no subsequent oral agreement
shall have any validity whatsoever.
