<br />The rights granted herein include, but are not limited to, the following:
<br />1. Grantee shall have the right of ingress and egress over the Easement Area, Property, and any
<br />adjoining lands now owned or hereinafter acquired by Grantor (using lanes, driveways, and

<br />or times and using safe and generally accepted arboricultural practices, trees, limbs, undergrowth,
<br />other vegetation, and obstructions.
<br />3. Grantee shall have the right to trim, cut down, and remove from the Property, at any time or times
<br />and using safe and generally accepted arboricultural practices, dead, diseased, weak, dying, or
<br />leaning trees or limbs, which, in the opinion of Grantee, might fall upon the Easement Area or
<br />interfere with the safe and reliable operation of the Facilities.
<br />4. Grantee shall have the right to install necessary guy wires and anchors extending beyond the
<br />boundaries of the Easement Area.
<br />5. Grantee shall have the right to relocate the Facilities and Easement Area on the Property to

<br />the rights granted herein to Grantee. Grantee shall have the right to remove any such structure,
<br />improvement, facility, or obstruction at the expense of Grantor.
<br />7. Excluding the removal of vegetation, structures, improvements, facilities, and obstructions as
<br />provided herein, Grantee shall promptly repair or cause to be repaired any physical damage to the
<br />surface area of the Easement Area and Property resulting from the exercise of the rights granted
<br />herein to Grantee. Such repair shall be to a condition which is reasonably close to the condition
<br />prior to the damage, and shall only be to the extent such damage was caused by Grantee or its
<br />contractors or employees.
<br />S. Grantee may increase or decrease the voltage and change the quantity and types of Facilities.
<br />9. All other rights and privileges reasonably necessary, in Grantee's sole discretion, for the safe,

<br />The terms Grantor and Grantee shall include the respective heirs, successors, and assigns of
<br />Grantor and Grantee. The failure of Grantee to exercise or continue to exercise or enforce any of the
<br />rights herein granted shall not be construed as a waiver or abandonment of the right thereafter at any time,
<br />or from time to time, to exercise any and all such rights.
