e) 
City Inspection. During the term of this Amendment No. 1, the City reserves the right, 
interest, and privilege to inspect the City's Facilities modified, occupied, or used by Bicentel 
under this Amendment No.1. The City's inspection or the lack of a City inspection does not 
relieve Bicentel of any responsibility, obligation, or liability under this Amendment No. 1. 
 
f) 
No Warranty. Bicentel accepts the City's Conduit Segments in an "as is" and "where is" 
condition. City does not warrant or represent the City's Conduit Segments are adequate or 
sufficient for Bicentel's use or occupancy. Where City has a 4-inch sleeve Bicentel wishes to 
occupy that does not have three (3) existing innerducts, Bicentel will install, if space allows, two 
(2) 1.5-inch and one (1) 1-inch innerducts within the conduit segment(s) Bicentel wishes to 
occupy prior to placing Bicentel's fiber optic cable within the 4-inch sleeve. 
 
g) 
City Reserves All Rights and Interests. Except to the extent the City permits Bicentel to 
use, occupy, maintain, modify, and repair City's Facilities, the City's use, occupancy, rights, 
and interests in City's Facilities must not be restricted or compromised in any way. City 
expressly reserves all rights, interests, and privileges in City Facilities to permit City or third 
parties to use, occupy, maintain, modify, and repair the City's Facilities, provided that the City 
will provide Bicentel with prior notice, as specified in this Amendment No. 1, of the City's 
activity that may impact or disrupt Bicentel's Facilities in City Conduit. 
 
h) 
Bicentel's Payment for Use and Occupancy. Bicentel will pay the per linear foot fee as set 
forth and escalated in the Citywide Fee Schedule ($2.72 per linear foot for calendar year 2025) 
for Bicentel's use and occupancy of City's Conduit Segment(s). For City owned Facilities used 
and occupied by Bicentel, this per linear foot fee must be paid as part of the annual fees stated 
in Notice of Payment Due under the License Agreement and cannot be included as part of the 
set off of 2% gross revenues. 
 
5. 
CITY'S USE AND OCCUPANCY OF BICENTEL'S CONDUIT. 
 
a) 
Grant for City's Use and Occupancy of Bicentel's Conduit Segments. Pursuant to the terms 
and conditions set forth in this Amendment No. 1 and the applicable Joint Use Memo, Bicentel 
permits City to use and occupy Bicentel's Conduit Segment(s) to install, use, operate, maintain, 
and repair City's Facilities for the term of this Amendment No. 1. 
 
b) 
City's Use of Bicentel Conduit Segments. Effective upon Parties' execution of an 
applicable Joint Use Memo, City will be granted the rights, interests, and privileges to: (i) place 
City fiber optic cable in the Bicentel Conduit Segments specified by City and agreed to by 
Bicentel; and (ii) to interconnect City's Conduit System to Bicentel's handholes and manholes 
to access City's fiber optic cable in Bicentel's Conduit Segments. Alternatively, City may 
request Bicentel to place and splice City fiber optic cable on behalf of the City in Bicentel 
Conduit Segments, in which case Bicentel will provide a proposal to City for these costs. City 
will provide the necessary splicing diagrams for Bicentel to accomplish the work. The 
installation and testing of all city Facilities will be accomplished in accordance with City of 
Chandler Standards and Specifications. All City fiber optic cable placed in Bicentel handholes 
and manholes will be clearly tagged and labelled as "CoC Fiber Optic Cable". No City slack 
loops or splice enclosures will be placed within Bicentel handholes or manholes.

Page 5 
 
c) 
Bicentel Reserves All Rights and Interests. No use of the Bicentel Conduit Segment(s) by 
the City will vest in the City or any third party any easement or any other ownership interest 
or other form of real property right in such Bicentel Facilities, nor will any easement or any 
other ownership interest or real property right in the City Facilities vest in Bicentel. 
 
d) 
City's Payment for Use and Occupancy of the Bicentel's Conduit. The rate for the City's use 
and occupancy of Bicentel's Conduit Segments is the same per linear foot fee set forth and 
escalated in the Citywide Fee Schedule ($2.72 per linear foot for calendar year 2025). The 
City will pay Bicentel for use and occupancy of Bicentel Conduit Segments in the form of a 
set off or credit against any fees or costs assessed Bicentel under the License Agreement. For 
Bicentel owned Facilities occupied and used by the City, this per linear foot fee can be used as 
a set off against the 2% gross revenues under the License Agreement. If this amount is greater 
than the License fees due for the particular year, this amount may be applied as a credit to 
future fees due under the License Agreement. Bicentel and City will jointly maintain an annual 
record of all linear footage used and occupied by the City and the corresponding set off or credit 
value. This record will be reviewed and reconciled annually in conjunction with the Notice of 
Payment Due under the License Agreement. 
 
e) 
City’s Indemnity Under this Section 5. To the extent permitted by law, the City will 
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bicentel, its officers, directors, employees, and contractors 
from and against third-party claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses, 
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the City 
or its contractors in connection with the installation, operation, or maintenance of City’s Facilities 
within Bicentel’s Conduit Segments. The indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 5(e) solely 
apply to the City’s Use and Occupancy of Bicentel’s Conduit Segments. The indemnity obligations 
set forth in this Section 5(e) do not apply to any other term, condition, duty, or obligation under 
the License Agreement or this Amendment No. 1, in which case the terms and conditions of the 
indemnity obligations set forth in the License Agreement apply, prevail, and control. 
 
6. 
BICENTEL'S CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION OF CITY'S FACILITIES 
 
a) 
Bicentel’s Concurrent Construction of City Facilities. City may request Bicentel to place, 
splice, construct and install City Facilities on behalf of the City and according to City 
Standards and Requirements, in which case Bicentel will provide a proposal to City for these 
costs. City will provide to Bicentel the information the City possesses to accomplish the work. 
All City Facilities materials and testing will be accomplished in accordance with City of 
Chandler Standards and Specifications. All City Fiber Optic Cable placed in Bicentel 
Handholes and Manholes will be clearly tagged and labelled as “Coe Fiber Optic Cable”. No 
City slack loops or splice enclosures will be placed within Bicentel Handholes or Manholes. 
 
b) 
City Conduit Segments. As part of its construction plan, City may request Bicentel to 
place additional Conduit Segments as required by City of Chandler Standard Detail C- 104,
