The granted easement, described on the attached Exhibit “A” (“Easement”), is for the purpose of constructing, operating, repairing, and maintaining a gas line on Flood Control District (FCD) property, and appurtenances thereto (collectively, the “Facility”), in accordance with FCD Right- of-Way Use Permit No. 2015P022 (“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. 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 Page 2 of 8 Project: 311.01.12 Powerline Floodway Permit No.: 2015P022 Item No: F-2520 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 installation or 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. 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. In the event GRANTEE fails to install the Facility within the Easement, GRANTEE removes the Facility, the Facility ceases to function, or any other event gives 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 Page 3 of 8 Project: 311.01.12 Powerline Floodway Permit No.: 2015P022 Item No: F-2520 has been abandoned. In such event, GRANTEE shall provide confirmation to GRANTOR that the Easement has been abandoned, or in the event GRANTEE fails to confirm its intent to maintain 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. Unless and until such termination is recorded by GRANTOR, this Easement shall remain in full force and effect. The rights and privileges granted in this Easement are solely for GRANTEE to use the Easement for the purpose stated herein, and do not include the right to permit and/or grant any other use of the Easement to another party. This Easement shall run with the land and is binding on all parties.
