permitted to use the Path except for maintenance purposes.
4.2 Insurance. To maintain or cause to be maintained at all times general
liability insurance with respect to accidents and occurrences involving bodily injury, death or

occurrence, $5,000,000 aggregate annual excess), naming Grantor and its transferees, successors

vegetation and all grading, excavation and construction shall be conducted in conformity with all
applicable permits and to take reasonable steps to follow sound land and forest management
practices to minimize erosion and adverse impacts on natural resources. Grantee will take or
