ORANGE COUNTY
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, Alert Cable T.V. of North Carolina, Inc. ("Alert") is the holder of a
franchise to provide cable television service for the Orange County (the "Franchise"); and
WHEREAS, Alert has proposed to transfer the Franchise to Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership ("TWEAN"); and
WHEREAS, TWEAN will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Franchise
subject to applicable law.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved that, insofar as may be necessary or advisable
under the Franchise, transfer of the Franchise and the cable television system operating
pursuant to the Franchise from Alert to TWEAN (including any necessary transfers through
one or more Time Warner entities) is hereby authorized and consented to in all respects.
This transfer shall not affect any ongoing franchise renewal proceedings which shall
continue subject to the provisions of 47U.S.C.546, except that, upon transfer of the
Franchise TWEAN shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Alert in the renewal
process. Since the transfer of the Franchise to TWEAN involves no change in control, the
Orange County may, after the transfer of the Franchise to TWEAN, consider in any
ongoing renewal proceedings the past performance of Alert while under common control
with TWEAN to the extent permitted under 47U.S.C.546, as if it were the past performance
of TWEAN.
