This Franchise does not limit Monmouth Power and Light's ability to provide other utility services such as telecommunications and cable television, but does not allow Monmouth Power and Light to provide these services under this Franchise. Monmouth Power and Light shall be required to enter into separate franchise agreements for these services. This Franchise does not alter in any way the terms of any written easement between Monmouth Power and Light and City or other governmental entity.
