  • A. 
    Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Act, the company shall, during each year of operation under the consent granted herein, pay to the municipality 2% of the gross revenues from all recurring charges in the nature of subscription fees paid by subscribers to its cable television reception service in the municipality or any amount permitted by the Cable Television Act or otherwise allowable by law. The fee shall be paid on or before January 25 of each year and at the same time the company shall file with the chief financial officer of the municipality a statement showing the gross receipts upon which payment is based.
    B. 
    In the event applicable law hereafter permits a larger franchise fee to be collected, but does not fix the amount thereof, the Township and the company shall negotiate in good faith with respect to the amount. Additionally, in the event the relevant laws are amended in the future to allow additional fees and/or charges (collectively "fees") to be paid to the Township, the Township shall have the right to impose such fees in accordance with the applicable law. In the event the law does not state the amount the Township is allowed to impose, the parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to the amount of the fee. In the event any of the fees provided for in this section cannot be agreed to after negotiations, then the Township shall have all rights available to it under law in order to establish the fee.
