The grantee, at its expense, shall repair all damage caused by the grantee, its agents, contractors and subcontractors, in the construction, rebuilding, upgrade, operation, maintenance and repair of the cable system and shall restore all property, both public and private, to its original condition, or as nearly so as possible. Such restoration and repair shall be made as soon as practicable after such damage, and in accordance with applicable codes. If any damage involves pavements, sidewalks, driveways, streets or other public property, such damage shall be repaired at the grantor’s election either by the grantor at the grantee’s expense or by the grantee to the grantor’s reasonable satisfaction. The foregoing shall not limit the grantee’s right to contest its liability for any damage claimed.
