The granted easement, described on the attached Exhibit “A” (“Easement”), is for the purpose of constructing, operating, inspecting, repairing, maintaining conduits containing fiber optic cable and appurtenances thereto (collectively, the “Facility”), in accordance with FCD Right-of-Way Use Permit No. FRU2500043 (“FCD Permit”). Said Easement is SUBJECT TO all governmental restrictions which include, but are not limited to, environmental, archaeological, and cultural resource regulations, and all land use regulations, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, rights-of-way, and other matters of record, or not of record, that could be disclosed by a visual inspection or accurate survey of the real property. Page 2 of 10 311.01.12_F-2521-UE This Easement is, at all times, subject to and subordinate to the rights of GRANTOR to have unrestricted access to and use of the Easement for the purpose of operation and maintenance of the flood control project known as the Powerline Floodway (“Project”). GRANTOR shall endeavor to use its best efforts to operate and maintain the Project in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere with the GRANTEE’S rights granted by this Easement. GRANTEE assumes all risk of damage to its Facility resulting from the Burdened Property functioning as a flood control project. In the event any use or activity conducted pursuant to the rights granted in this easement by the GRANTEE interferes with GRANTOR’S use of the Burdened Property or the Burdened Property is needed to construct, maintain, or relocate any portion of GRANTOR’S Project (collectively “Interference”), GRANTEE shall, at GRANTOR’S request and GRANTEE’S sole expense, eliminate the Interference upon notice from the GRANTOR. If elimination of Interference, including but not limited to the relocation of the Facility, or any part thereof, requires a right of way use permit, actual construction shall begin within thirty (30) days following GRANTOR’S issuance of a right-of-way use permit. Upon mutual agreement, the time frame for the start and completion of said work may be extended based on the requirements of GRANTOR. If GRANTEE’S effort to eliminate Interference delays construction by GRANTOR, and causes GRANTOR to be liable for damages, GRANTEE shall reimburse GRANTOR for those damages attributable to the delay created by GRANTEE within thirty (30) days after GRANTEE’S receipt of the GRANTOR’S invoice for said delay. The GRANTEE shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the Easement, and GRANTEE’S Facility located within the Easement, in a state of good repair and in a safe condition, including without limitation the removal of trash and debris from the Easement. The rights granted to GRANTEE herein include the right to cut back, trim and remove vegetation now growing, or that may hereafter grow, within the Easement, or that may extend over the Easement, so as to protect the same from interfering with the maintenance and operation of GRANTEE’S Facility. After the installation of GRANTEE’S Facility in accordance with said FCD Permit, any modification whatsoever to the Easement, the Facility, or any appurtenance of GRANTEE located therein, that is not in compliance with said FCD Permit, will require GRANTEE to apply for and obtain a new right-of-way use permit from GRANTOR. GRANTOR will process any such application in accordance with GRANTOR’S right-of-way use permit approval process. Page 3 of 10 311.01.12_F-2521-UE GRANTEE shall indemnify GRANTOR for any and all damages and costs, including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and all other expenses relating to the defense of claims or litigation, caused by or arising from the exercise of GRANTEE’S rights pursuant to the terms of this Easement, excepting therefrom any such injury, damage or costs caused by or arising solely from the gross negligence, or actions that are purposeful or undertaken without regard to the consequences, by the GRANTOR, its officers, employees, agents or contractors. In the event GRANTEE fails to install the Facility within the Easement, or in the event GRANTEE removes the Facility, or in the event the Facility ceases to function, or in the event of any other event giving evidence to GRANTOR that the GRANTEE has abandoned the use of this Easement, then and in such event, GRANTOR shall notify GRANTEE, in writing, that GRANTOR considers that the Easement has been abandoned. In such event, GRANTEE shall provide confirmation to GRANTOR that the Easement has been abandoned, or in the event GRANTEE shall fail to reply that there has been no intent to abandon the Easement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the aforesaid notice from the GRANTOR, this Easement shall be deemed to be abandoned and GRANTOR shall be permitted to record a termination of this Easement in the public records of Maricopa County.
