hereunder, as well as the deductibles and/or self-insurance retentions in effect from time to time <br /> (but PG&E agrees that it will not increase required coverage limits more often than once in any <br /> five-year period). All insurance required under this Agreement shall be effected under valid, <br /> enforceable policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, as reasonably determined by <br /> PG&E, and shall be written on forms and with insurance carriers acceptable to PG&E. For so long <br /> as Grantee is an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, the State of California <br /> or any political subdivision thereof, then Grantee may elect to self-insure for any ar all of the <br /> required coverage. If Grantee is permitted to self-insure hereunder and elects to do so, Grantee <br /> shall be liable to PG&E for the full equivalent of insurance coverage which would have been <br /> available to PG&E if all required insurance policies had been obtained by Grantee from a third <br /> party insurer, in the form required by this Agreement, and shall pay on behalf of or indemnify <br /> PG&E for all amounts which would have been payable by the third pariy insurer. In addition, <br /> Grantee shall act with the same promptness and subject to the same standards of good faith as <br /> would apply to a third party insurance company. Grantee is also responsible for causing its agents, <br /> contractors and subcontractors to comply with the insurance requirements of this Agreement at all <br /> relevant times (provided, however, that Grantee, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, may <br /> permit contractors and subcontractors to maintain coverages and limits lower than those required <br /> of Grantee, provided the coverages and limits required by Grantee are commercially reasonable in <br /> light of applicable circumstances). Any policy of liability insurance required to be maintained <br /> hereunder by Grantee may be maintained under a so-called "blanket policy" insuring other <br /> locations and/or other persons, so long as PG&E is specifically named as an additional insured <br /> under such policy and the coverages and amounts of insurance required to be provided hereunder <br /> are not thereby impaired or diminished. In addition, liability insurance coverages may be provided <br /> under single policies for the full limits, or by a combination of underlying policies with the balance <br /> provided by excess or umbrella liability insurance policies. <br /> 12. Mechanics' Liens. Grantee shall keep the larger parcel of property containing the <br /> Easement Area free and clear of all mechanics', material suppliers' or similar liens, or claims <br /> thereof, arising or alleged to arise in connection with any work performed, labor or materials <br /> supplied or delivered, or similar activities performed by Grantee or at its request or for its benefit. <br /> If any mechanics' liens are placed on the larger parcel of property containing the Easement Area in <br /> connection with the activities or facilities set forth in this Agreement, Grantee shall promptly cause <br /> such liens to be released and removed from title, either by payment or by recording a lien release <br /> bond in the manner specified in California Civil Code Section 3143 or any successor statute. <br /> 13. Notice. Any notices or communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be <br /> personally delivered, or sent by first class mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, or by <br /> national overnight courier, with charges prepaid for next business day delivery, addressed to the <br /> addressee party at the address or addresses listed below, or to such other address or addresses as <br /> such party may from time to time designate in writing. Notices shall be deemed received upon <br /> actual receipt or refusal of the notice by the party being sent the notice. <br /> ATTY/AGR/2012.046/BAIR TRIAL EASEMENT <br /> REV:04-18-12 VR <br /> Page 10 of 24 <br />
