Grantee is hereby granted the right, but not the obligation, to trim, prune, cut, and clear away trees,
brush, shrubs, or other vegetation on, or adjacent to, the Easement Premises whenever in Grantee’s
judgment the same shall be necessary for the convenient and safe exercise of the rights herein granted.
Grantor shall not locate, erect or construct, or permit to be located, erected or constructed, any
building or other structure or drill any well within the limits of the Easement Premises; nor shall Grantor
plant or permit to be planted any trees within the limits of the Easement Premises without the prior written
consent of Grantee. However, Grantor reserves all other rights, interests and uses of the Easement Premises
that are not inconsistent with Grantee’s easement rights herein conveyed and which do not interfere with or
endanger any of the Grantee Facilities, including, without limitation, granting others the right to use all or
portions of the Easement Premises for utility or roadway purposes and constructing improvements within
the Easement Premises such as paving, sidewalks, landscaping, driveways, and curbing. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Grantor shall not have the right to lower by more than one foot or raise by more than two feet
the surface grade of the Easement Premises without the prior written consent of Grantee, and in no event
shall a change in the grade compromise Grantee's minimum cover requirements or interfere with Grantee's
operation, maintenance or repair.
Grantee shall not have the right to use the Easement Premises to store gasoline or petroleum
products, hazardous or toxic substances, or flammable materials; provided however, that this prohibition
shall not apply to any material, equipment or substance contained in, or a part of, the Grantee Facilities,
provided that Grantee must comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations in
connection therewith. Additionally, the Easement Premises may not be used for the storage of construction-
related materials or to park or store construction-related vehicles or equipment except on a temporary basis
to construct, reconstruct, replace, repair, operate, or maintain the Grantee Facilities.
Grantor shall maintain clear areas that extend: 1) 3 feet from and around all edges of all switching
cabinet pads and 2 feet from and around all edges of all transformer pads and other equipment pads, and 2) a
clear operational area that extends 10 feet immediately in front of all transformer, switching cabinet and
other equipment openings, and 3) a 6 feet by 6 feet hot-stick operating area off the front left corner of all
transformers. No obstructions, trees, shrubs, large landscape rocks, fences, fixtures, or permanent structures
shall be placed by Grantor within said clear areas; nor shall Grantor install landscape irrigation or sprinkler
systems within said clear areas. Landscape irrigation or sprinkler systems installed adjacent to the clear
areas shall be installed and maintained so that the transformers, switching cabinets or any other equipment
do not get wet by spray or irrigation.
By accepting and utilizing this easement, Grantee agrees that following any installation, excavation,
maintenance, repair, or other work by Grantee within the Easement Premises, the affected area will be
restored by Grantee to as close to original condition as is reasonably practicable, at the expense of Grantee;
and that Grantee shall indemnify Grantor, to the extent required by law, for any loss, cost or damage
incurred by Grantor as a result of any negligent installation, excavation, maintenance, repair or other work
performed by Grantee within the Easement Premises.
Grantee shall exercise reasonable care to avoid damage to the Easement Premises and all
improvements thereon and agrees that following any installation, excavation, maintenance, repair, or other
work by Grantee within the Easement Premises, the affected area, including without limitation, all
pavement, landscaping, cement, and other improvements permitted within the Easement Premises pursuant

to this easement will be restored by Grantee to as close to original condition as is reasonably possible, at the
expense of Grantee.
Grantor reserves the right to require the relocation of Grantee Facilities to a new location within
Grantor’s Property; provided however, that: (1) Grantor pays the entire cost of redesigning and relocating
Grantee Facilities; and (2) Grantor provides Grantee with a new easement in a form and location acceptable
to Grantee and at no cost to Grantee. Upon the acceptance by Grantee of a new easement and after the
relocation of Grantee Facilities to the new easement area, Grantee shall abandon its rights to use the
Easement Premises granted in this easement. The easement granted herein shall not be deemed abandoned
except upon Grantee’s execution and recording of a formal instrument abandoning the easement.
If any of Grantee’s electric facilities in this easement are not being used or are determined not to be
useful, Grantor may request that the facilities that are no longer needed be removed and that portion of the
easement be abandoned. Grantee will execute and record a formal instrument abandoning the easement, or a
portion thereof. Any facilities that are determined to still be needed for Grantee’s electrical system can be
relocated pursuant to the above relocation requirements.
Grantee shall not have the right to transfer, convey or assign its interests in this easement to any
individual, corporation, or other entity (other than to an affiliated entity of Grantee or an entity that acquires
from Grantee substantially all of Grantee’s electric distribution facilities within the area of Grantor’s
Property) without the prior written consent of Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Grantee shall notify Grantor of the transfer, conveyance or assignment of any rights granted herein.
The covenants and provisions herein set forth shall extend and inure in favor and to the benefit of,
and shall be binding on the heirs, administrators, executors, successors in ownership and estate, assigns and
lessees of Grantor and Grantee.
