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

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-

adjacent to the clear areas shall be installed and maintained so that the transformers or any other equipment 
do not get wet by spray or irrigation.  
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.

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.

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.
