(e) carry public liability and property damage insurance co-naming the City of
Philadelphia as an insured party in such amounts as shall be satisfactory to the City Solicitor;

(h) submit documentation in a form acceptable to the City of Philadelphia that PECO Energy Company has approved the connection of the facilities authorized by Section 1 with facilities owned by PECO Energy Company.

SECTION 4. The permission granted to Richard Ley to construct, own and maintain a private pole, electrical appurtenances and aerial wire over, on and under certain public rights-of-way set forth in Section 1 shall expire without any further action by the City of Philadelphia if Richard Ley has not entered into the Agreement and satisfied all requirements of the Agreement that are listed in Section 2 within one (1) year after this Ordinance becomes law.
