  • The grantee agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless, and defend the franchising authority, its officers, boards and employees, from and against any liability for damages and for any liability or claims resulting from property damage or bodily injury (including accidental death), which arise out of the grantee's construction, operation, or maintenance of its cable system, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, provided that the franchising authority shall give the grantee written notice of its obligation to indemnify the franchising authority within 20 days of receipt of a claim or action pursuant to this section.
