733.06  INSURANCE, INDEMNIFICATION, AND BONDS OR OTHER SURETY.
   (a)   Insurance Requirements.
      (1)   The Grantee shall maintain throughout the term of the Franchise insurance in amounts at least as follows:
 
Workers’ Compensation
Statutory Limits
Commercial General Liability
Combined Single Liability (C.S.L.)
2,000,000 General Aggregate
Auto Liability including coverage on all owned, non-owned hired autos
$1,000,000 per occurrence C.S.L.
 
Umbrella Liability
$1,000,000 per occurrence
$1,000,000 per occurrence C.S.L.
 
      (2)   The Grantor shall be added as an additional insured to the above Commercial General Liability, Auto Liability and Umbrella Liability insurance coverage.
      (3)   The Grantee shall furnish the Grantor with current certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage upon request.
   (b)   Indemnification. Grantee agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless, and defend 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 Grantee's construction, operation or maintenance of its Cable System, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
   (c)   Bonds and other Surety.   Except as expressly provided herein, Grantee shall not be required to obtain or maintain bonds or other surety as a condition of being awarded the Franchise or continuing its existence. Franchising Authority acknowledges that the legal, financial, and technical qualifications of Grantee are sufficient to afford compliance with the terms of the Franchise and the enforcement thereof. Grantee and Franchising Authority recognize that the costs associated with bonds and other surety may ultimately be borne by the Subscribers in the form of increased rates for Cable Service or other service. In order to minimize such costs, Franchising Authority agrees to require bonds and other surety only in such amounts and during such times as there is a reasonably demonstrated need therefor. Franchising Authority agrees that in no event, however, shall it require a bond or other related surety in an aggregate amount greater than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), conditioned upon the substantial performance of the material terms, covenants, and conditions of the Franchise. Initially, no bond or other surety shall be required. In the event that one is required in the future, Franchising Authority agrees to give Grantee at least sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof stating the exact reason for the requirement. Such reason must demonstrate a change in Grantee's legal, financial, or technical qualifications which would materially prohibit or impair its ability to comply with the terms of the Franchise or afford compliance therewith.
