Exhibit D - 2012 Settlement Agreement Commission and/or Member Cities may invoke all rights and remedies they may have under the Franchises and any renewed Franchises. Any failure by a Member City to adopt and execute a renewal cable service franchise that contains the terms set forth in Section 9 shall not be deemed a violation of this Settlement Agreement on Comcast's part. 15. Comcast and its affiliates shall not take any action to challenge, or cause another person or entity to challenge, any provision of this Settlement Agreement as contrary to or unenforceable under applicable laws, regulations, orders and decisions, nor will they participate with any other person or entity in any such challenge. 16. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement usurps, preempts, waives or limits the Member Cities' authority to grant or deny the renewal of the Franchises currently held by Comcast, or to establish the terms and conditions of any renewal cable service franchises/ordinances. 17. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement waives, limits or modifies the Parties' rights, remedies, responsibilities and defenses under applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, agreements, orders and decisions, including but not limited to Chapter 238 of Minnesota Statutes, Section 626 of the Cable Act and the Franchises, unless otherwise expressly provided herein. 18. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall be construed to mean that Comcast is entitled to renewed cable service franchises. 19. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall be construed to mean that Comcast is in compliance with the Franchises and applicable laws and regulations except as to the franchise fee payment review for the Review Period which is hereby resolved and for which Comcast is in full compliance as to the specific issues addressed in this Agreement for the Review Period. By executing this Settlement Agreement, Comcast is not admitting that it has failed to comply with the Franchises and applicable laws and regulations. 20. The Parties agree that, other than the Member Cities, there shall be no third party beneficiaries to this Settlement Agreement. Nothing herein shall give rise to any rights or causes of action that may be enforced or brought by a third party, other than the Member Cities. 21. This Settlement Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, and their successors in interest, assigns, personal representatives and heirs. 22.
