Any grantee shall defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless the grantor from and against any and all liability, losses and damage to property or bodily injury or death to any person, including payments made under worker’s compensation laws, which may arise out of or be caused by the erection, construction, replacement, removal, maintenance or operation of the grantee’s cable system and caused by any act or failure to act on the part of the grantee, its agents, officers, servants or employees. The grantor shall give the grantee written notice of its obligation to indemnify, within 30 days following service of a petition or other similar pleading. If the grantor determines that it is necessary for it to employ separate counsel, the costs for such separate counsel shall be the responsibility of the grantor.
