    (1) 
    To persons or property in any way arising out of or through the acts or omissions of the grantee, its servants, agents or employees or to which the grantee's negligence shall in any way contribute with respect to the construction, maintenance or operation of the grantee's system under this franchise.
    (2) 
    From any claim for invasion of the right of privacy, for defamation of any person, firm or corporation or the violation or infringement of any copyright, trademark, trade name, service mark or patent or of any other property right of any firm or corporation arising from the construction, maintenance or operation of the grantee's system (excluding claims arising out of or relating to Borough programming).
