EASEMENT AGREEMENT
STATE OF TEXAS §
§ KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT:
COUNTY OF §
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Easement Agreement (this
"AAgreement"}, E.B. Murphy, as his sole and separate property ("Grantor") whose address is
3200 Maxwell, Midland, TX 79705-4824 for and in consideration of the covenants contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration to it paid by The City of Lubbock, Texas (the
"Grantee") with offices at 1625 1P Street, Lubbock, Texas 79401, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, hereby grants unto Grantee an easement (the "Easement")
subject to the terms of this Agreement through, over, under, upon, across and within the sixty
foot (60') wide area described by metes and bounds on Exhibit A (the "Easement Area")
situated in Garza County, Texas:
The Easement shall be for the survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of (i) a single underground pipeline located
within the Easement Area for the transportation of fresh water (the "Pipeline"), and (ii) the
following equipment and appurtenances related to the Pipeline and situated within the Easement
Area: conduits, drain (blow -off) valves, valve boxes, meter boxes, vents (air valves), manholes,
manhole covers (with post around manholes), corrosion monitoring test stations, pipeline
markers, fence gates, impressed current deep well anode stations with power supplies, flow
meters, system communication lines (including, but not limited to, fiber optic lines), splice
boxes, and corrosion control equipment, corrosion monitoring equipment and other equipment
and facilities related thereto (collectively, the "Pipeline FA ')(the Pipeline together with
the Pipeline Equipment shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Pipeline System").
Further, Grantor hereby grants unto Grantee a temporary construction easement (the "Temporary
Easement") for the construction and installation of the Pipeline System over an area sixty feet
(60') in width located adjacent to, and abutting, the Easement Area (the "Temporary Easement
Area") on the northeast side of the Easement Area as more specifically described on Exhibit A.
The Temporary Easement shall terminate and expire upon the earlier of (i) completion of all
construction activities related to that portion of the Pipeline System situated within the Easement
Area, or (ii) June 30, 2014 (the "Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date"). In the event that the
Pipeline System within the Easement Area has not been completed by the Anticipated Pipeline
Completion Date, Grantee shall have the option to extend the term of the Temporary Easement
for up to two consecutive periods of two (2) years each with the first extension to commence on
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date and the second extension to commence on the second
anniversary of the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date; provided, however, that the Temporary
Easement shall in any event terminate and expire upon the completion of the Pipeline System
within the Easement Area and thereafter be of no further force and effect.. In order to exercise
its right to extend the Temporary Easement as aforesaid, not later than thirty (30) days prior to
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date (or the second anniversary of such date if the
Temporary Easement has already been extended) Grantee shall deliver to Grantor written notice
that it intends to extend the Temporary Easement and pay to Grantor of the sum of $ ** 10%
of the amount in paragraph 12(1) below**] for each requested two (2) year extension.
Upon request of Grantor, after completion of that portion of the Pipeline System situated within
the Easement Area, or the termination and expiration of the Temporary Easement, Grantee shall
execute and deliver to Grantor a release of the Temporary Easement in a form acceptable for
filing.
The Easement and Temporary Easement are specifically made by Grantor and accepted
by Grantee subject to the following terms, covenants, obligations and conditions:
1. Permitted Uses. Grantee may use and occupy (a) the Easement Area for
the sole purpose of (i) survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment;
(ii) the construction, installation, maintenance and repair of a pipeline trail road within
non -cultivated areas of the Easement Area, and (iii) ingress, egress and regress for
people, material, and equipment along, over and across the Easement Area to accomplish
the purposes stated in paragraph 1(a)(i) provided that after completion of construction of
the Pipeline System situated within the Easement Area, and except in cases of emergency
or repair, on cultivated land ingress, egress and regress shall be permitted in, but limited
to, the use of then -existing turn rows, and (b) the Temporary Easement Area (during the
term thereof) for the sole purpose of (i) survey, construction and installation of the
Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment; (ii) ingress, egress and regress for people, material, and
equipment along, over and across the Temporary Easement Area to accomplish the
foregoing, and (c) during the term of the Temporary Easement, the Easement Area and
the Temporary Easement Area may be used for the temporary storage of materials and
equipment (including pipe for the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment) (collectively, the
"Permitted Uses"). Grantee shall use the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement
Area (for the term thereof) for the Permitted Uses, and activities reasonably related
thereto, and for no other purposes or uses.
2. Legal Requirements, No Interference. Grantee covenants and agrees that
its use of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area, and its operations
conducted thereon, shall at all times comply with this Agreement and all material
applicable local, state and federal laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing,
permitting and other legal requirements including, without limitation, all material
environmental laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing and permitting (the
"Legal Requirements") and the safety guidelines shown on Exhibit S attached hereto
and made a part hereof. Further, Grantor and Grantee shall each conduct their activities
in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with, or cause disruption to, the other's
business, operations and property or those of a third party entering or crossing the
easement.
3. Due Care. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct the Pipeline System,
and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in a prudent manner and with due
professional care for Grantor's property, business and operations, and according to
standard industry practices.
4. Construction Specifications. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct,
maintain, repair and replace the Pipeline System in the Easement Area in accordance with
the following:
(a) Minimum Pipeline Depth. The Pipeline System shall be so located or
shall be buried at a sufficient depth so it will not interfere with fanning activities
currently in practice and cultivation of the soil at the soil levels as they exist at
time of execution of this Easement and, in any event, the Pipeline shall be buried
at such depth as will allow a minimum coverage of forty-eight inches (48") for
current ranchland and a minimum coverage of sixty inches (64") for current
farmland. Any Pipeline Equipment that will be installed above plow depth on
cultivated lands shall only be installed at the locations identified on Exhibit C or,
if no locations are specified on Exhibit C, at such other locations that will not
interfere with farming activities and which are approved in writing by Grantor,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Ditching. Unless determined by an outside engineer to be impractical due
to the existence of rock or material elevation change, all ditching shall be in
accordance with the "double ditch" method whereby the top eighteen inches (18")
of soil (the "Top Soil") shall be removed from the Pipeline trench (the "Trench")
and stored in a pile that is segregated from all other material and debris, and the
remaining soil (the `Bottom Soil") shall be removed from the Trench and stored
in a pile that is segregated from the Top Soil. When the Trench is refilled after
the Pipeline has been laid and the Pipeline Equipment installed, the Bottom Soil
shall be placed in the trench first leaving room to fill the uppermost eighteen
inches (18") of the Trench to be filled with Top Soil. Top Soil shall be used to fill
the remainder of the Trench. Any Bottom Soil remaining after filling the Trench
shall (i) on cultivated lands, be removed from the Easement Area and disposed of
off of the property of Grantor, and (ii) on uncultivated lands, shall be spread over
the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area in a manner acceptable to
Grantor and that will not restrict or limit the re -growth of natural vegetation.
Rocks or other debris arising in connection with clearing the Easement Area and
ditching the Trench for the Pipeline System shall be removed as set forth in
Paragraph 4 (h) below. As stated above, single ditching shall be allowed in all
areas where "double ditching" is impractical (as determined by an outside
engineer) due to the existence of rock or material elevation change.
(c) Trench Leveling. Within uncultivated areas, upon completion of
construction of the Pipeline System, excess material may be mounded over the
Trench and covered with Top Soil; provided that the mound will be limited to a
maximum of one foot (1') in height and will be graded to allow natural drainage.
Within cultivated areas, upon completion of construction of the Pipeline System,
the Easement area shall be leveled to grade (or as otherwise agreed to by Grantor
in writing). In all instances the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area
shall be cleaned up in a professional manner.
(d) Maximum Oven Segments. The construction, installation, maintenance
and repair of the Pipeline System shall be performed in segments so that there is
never more than one thousand feet (1000') of open Trench at any one time and no
open segment shall be open for more than seven (7) days; provided, however, that
excavations for pipeline appurtenances and tunnel/bore crossings may remain
open for up to thirty (30) days.
(e) Com acp tion. Grantee shall mechanically compact all fill material to
prevent any subsidence. To the extent there exists or hereafter arises any
subsidence or erosion arising in connection with the construction, installation,
maintenance or repair of the Pipeline System, Grantee shall refill with top soil, re -
compact and re -grade all affected areas and take any further action reasonably
required to return the surface to a substantially similar, or better, condition than
adjacent undisturbed areas and prevent future subsidence or erosion. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Grantee shall inspect the Pipeline at an interval of (i)
six months, (ii) twelve months, and (iii) eighteen months after initial Pipeline
System construction, and promptly refill and re -compact any subsidence or
erosion existing at such times in order to return the affected area to grade and to a
substantially similar, or better, condition than adjacent undisturbed areas and take
any further action reasonably required to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
The inspections periods set forth above are not intended to be a limitation on
Grantee's ongoing duty to fill, compact and maintain the grade of the land around
the Pipeline. Accordingly, in the event that Grantor at any time discovers any
subsidence or erosion after the installation of the Pipeline (whether before or after
expiration of the inspection periods provided for above), Grantor may provide
notice of such subsidence or erosion to Grantee. Within thirty (30) days' after
Grantee's receipt of such notice, Grantee shall commence and thereafter diligently
and without unreasonable delay refill with top soil, re -compact and re -grade all
affected areas and take any additional action as may be reasonably required to
return the affected area to grade and to a substantially similar, or better, condition
than adjacent undisturbed areas and to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
(f) Disc Plowing. If requested by Grantor, after completion of construction of
the Pipeline the top 6 to 12 inches of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement
Area through cultivated fields shall be disc plowed to loosen up soil for farming
operations.
(g) Gates. Grantee shall install gates at each existing fence to be crossed
within the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area in order to enable
Permitted Uses for the Pipeline System. Before a fence is cut by Grantee, Grantee
will set H-braces on the outside boundaries of the Temporary Easement and
Easement Area (e.g. 120 feet apart) then tie -off and cut the fence adjacent to each
H-brace. The Grantee shall then set temporary T-pasts and string barbed wire
along the 120 foot opening and install a temporary barbed wire gate or gates, as
needed. At the time of construction through the affected area, the Grantee will
remove the temporary T-posts so as to permit construction activities. At night,
Grantee will install temporary fencing. Upon completion of the subject Pipeline
section, Grantee will install interior H-braces and a permanent 14 foot gate(s).
Grantee will then install permanent T-posts and barbed wire to connect the H-
braces. Fences, gates, gate posts and corners installed by Grantee shall meet the
specifications described in, and be installed as specified in, Exhibit D attached
hereto and made apart hereof and shall be installed with professional care and
according to standard industry practices. All gates installed by Grantee shall be
made of painted steel pipe. Except during construction as described above, all
fence gates on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and locked at all
times, unless Grantor in its sole discretion consents to temporary cattle guards or
other arrangements. All gates on the interior of Grantor's property shall be left as
found. All cattle guards on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and
locked at night unless otherwise requested by Grantor. After construction,
Grantee shall put a lock on all gates and Grantor may install its own lock on such
gates; provided, however, that at all times Grantor and Grantee shall have full and
complete access to the Easement Area.
(h) Debris Removal. Grantee covenants and agrees that at Grantee's sole cost
and expense any and all debris materials of any kind arising in connection with
the construction, installation, operation, inspection maintenance, replacement,
repair and removal of the Pipeline System, including trash, trees, timber, wood,
bushes, shrubs and brush, and other debris materials (collectively, "debris"), shall
be removed by Grantee from Grantor's property and disposed of properly so as to
make the surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed
areas. Further, all rocks and rubble arising in connection with the construction,
installation, operation, inspection, maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal
of the Pipeline System will be removed from Grantor's property so as to make the
surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee and Grantor by mutual agreement may

(whether or not within the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement
Area), Grantee shall repair any such damage and return the surface of
affected areas to a condition substantially similar to, or better than,
adjacent undisturbed areas.
(ii) Damage to Adjacent Prop=. In the event that the

interfere with Grantee's use of. the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area.
After completion of the construction of the Pipeline System and except in cases of
emergencies, in order to avoid ruts and washouts, Grantee and Grantor shall use
reasonable efforts to avoid the use of the trail road when wet.
(o) Necessary Temporary Use. Grantee shall have the right to use Grantor's
property located immediately adjacent to the Easement Area and Temporary

officials, officers, agents, servants, employees, representatives, contractors,
independent contractors, subcontractors, or any employee or invitee of any of
them) shall not at any time go upon the property of Grantor outside of the

Temporary Easement Area results in any damage to such lands, Grantee shall be
liable for such damage and in any event covenants and agrees that the affected
areas shall be returned to the condition that is substantially similar to, or better
than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
(p) Staking of Easement. Prior to commencement of construction of the
Pipeline System, Grantee shall stake the exterior boundaries of each side of the
combined Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area (e.g. the parallel lines,
120 feet apart, that mark the outside boundaries of the combined 60 foot
Easement Area and 60 foot Temporary Easement Area). Such boundary shall be
staked with clearly visible, above ground markers so that all parties can easily
view the boundary of the easements. Such markers shall be maintained until
completion of construction of the Pipeline System.
(q) Tree Grubbing. Upon commencement of work on the construction of the
Pipeline System (and prior to trenching), Grantee shall grub (using an excavator
modified to grub mesquite) all mesquite within the Easement Area and shall also
grub any mesquite that has been destroyed, damaged, bladed, or cut within the
Temporary Easement Area. At its option Grantee may grub the entire Temporary
Easement Area. All debris arising as a result of grubbing activities will be
disposed of in accordance with Paragraph 4(1) above. Grantor acknowledges that
Grantee is not liable for any re -growth of vegetation after any tree grubbing
identified in this Paragraph 4 (q) or after any double ditching as identified in
Paragraph 4 (b) and that re -growth of vegetation will occur over time.

it is evidenced by notice in writing, signed by the Grantee's official representative, and
filed of record in the county where the Easement Area is located. If Grantee should
abandon the Pipeline System as aforesaid, then this Easement and the rights herein
granted shall automatically terminate and revert to, and become property of, Grantor, its
successors and assigns, and title to the Pipeline System located within the Easement Area

time that the Pipeline System is abandoned by Grantee as provided in Paragraph 7 above.
9. Covenant to Maintain Pipeline. Grantee shall at all times during the
Easement Term, at Grantee's sole cost and expense, exercise due care and diligence in
the use of the rights and privileges herein granted and keep the Pipeline System in a safe
and properly maintained condition. Grantee shall promptly make all necessary or

debris following any work related to Permitted Uses on the Pipeline System.
10. Permits. Grantee shall be responsible for obtaining all permits necessary
for Permitted Uses within the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area.
Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent required, Grantee will secure and
maintain any and all environmental permits required by the Texas Commission on

degree) angle, (D) underground power lines and any metallic pipelines (excluding
irrigation water lines and water distribution lines used to service Grantor's property) must
have a minimum separation of two feet (2') from the Pipeline and must meet industry
standards in order not to adversely affect or damage the Pipeline, and (E) fences
constructed by Grantor within the Easement Area must have gates installed so that
Grantee at all times has access over and across the Easement Area. In the event that
Grantor determines to construct (or grant the right to any third party to construct)
improvements within the Easement Area that are not addressed above, Grantor shall
provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Grantee during which time
Grantee may have the proposed improvements analyzed by its outside engineers. If
during such thirty (30) day period Grantee provides to Grantor a detailed analysis of why
the proposed improvements will adversely affect the Pipeline or Pipeline System, Grantor
shall not construct such improvements until such time as Grantor and Grantee's engineers
agree upon a methodology for the construction of such improvements that will not
adversely affect the Pipeline, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either
Grantor or Grantee. Grantee and Grantor will at all times use their good faith efforts to
accommodate the needs and activities of one another. Grantee covenants and agrees not
to interfere with Grantor's rights to cultivate, use and enjoy the lands for any purpose,
except as limited herein, provided that any such operation or use by Grantor, or Grantor's
heirs, successors or assigns, shall not unreasonably interfere with or endanger the
operations or integrity of the Pipeline System. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that if
the Easement Area is subject to one or more oil and gas leases in existence as of the
Effective Date of this Easement, or if Grantor does not own the minerals under the
Easement Area, Grantor does not have control over and is not responsible for, or liable
for, compliance (or non-compliance) with this Paragraph 11 by any oil and gas lessee or
mineral owner(s).
12. Compensation for Grant of Easement. As complete consideration for the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Grantor, contemporaneously with the
execution hereof by Grantor the Grantee agrees to pay to Grantor (i) the sum of Eighty -
Five Dollars ($55.00) per rod for a total of Four Thousand Fifty -Three and 65/100ths
Dollars ($4,053.65) for the grant of the Easement and the grant of the Temporary
Easement, (ii) the sum of ($ } for damage to, or the
replacement of, machinery and equipment (including irrigation systems and equipment)
and other personal property specified on Exhibit E, and (iii) the sum of
for damage to crops. In the event that as a result of the time of year in which
construction of the Pipeline will occur Grantor (or its lessee) will suffer crop losses for
two consecutive years, prior to commencement of construction (or, if construction has
already commenced, but was delayed or extended, prior to continuation of construction)
Grantee shall pay to Grantor an additional sum for crop losses in the amount specified in
item (iii) above. The foregoing consideration constitutes payment to Grantor and
Grantor's successors, assigns, or agricultural lessees or tenants, if any, for the grant of the
Easement and Temporary Easement and for damage to the specified equipment,
machinery and crops resulting from the initial construction and installation of the Pipeline
System.
The market value of any damaged crop shall be calculated using the following
formula: Affected Acres X Yield Per Acre X Unit Price for the affected crop = damages
to be paid, where (i) the amount of the affected acreage will be reasonably determined by
the Federal Farm Service Agency in the county where the premises is located, or if the
Federal Farm Service Agency fails or refuses to make such calculation, as reasonably
determined by Grantor, (ii) yield per acre will be the average of the previous three (3)
years' yields according to the Grantor's (or Grantor's lessee's) records for the affected
parcel, but if the Grantor (or Grantor's lessee) does not have yield records available, the
parties will use Federal Farm Service Agency records or other commonly used yield
information available for the area, and (iii) unit price will be based upon the average of
the last previous March Pt and September 1" prices for the affected crop as set by the
Chicago Board of Trade, New York Cotton Exchange, Kansas City Board of Trade, or
other similar exchange, as appropriate for the affected crop. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Parties hereto agree that the unit price for damages to cotton crops shall be
$0.52 per pound.
13. Title. (a) Grantee acknowledges that at its sole cost and expense it has
researched the title to the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area and, where
it deemed it necessary, obtained abstracts or certificates of title or title insurance to such
property. Grantor represents that to the best of its knowledge set forth on Exhibit F is a
list of (i) all unrecorded agricultural leases and agreements which encumber the subject
property, (ii) all unrecorded mortgages or deeds of trust which encumber the subject
property, and (iii) all unrecorded easements granted by Grantor which encumber the
subject property. Grantor will provide Grantee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
execution of this Agreement, with all documents identified and to be attached hereto as
Exhibit F. The grant of the Easement herein contained is subject to (A) all items
disclosed on Exhibit F, (B) all items that would be disclosed on an accurate commitment
for title insurance covering the subject property (which Grantor understands that Grantee
has received and reviewed), (C) above ground power lines, (D) public roads as reflected
on the official county (or state) road map(s), (E) all valid and subsisting encumbrances,
easements, agricultural leases, wind energy leases, and rights -of -way of record in the
county where the subject property is located and that affect the Easement Area and the
Temporary Easement Area as of the Elective Date, and (F) all minerals that have been
severed from the surface and all oil and gas and other mineral leases existing on the
Effective Date. It shall be the obligation of Grantee to procure and have recorded without
cost to Grantor all assurances of title and affidavits which Grantee determines are
necessary and proper to show in Grantor title sufficient to grant this Easement. The
expense of recording this Agreement shall be borne by Grantee. Grantor agrees to
cooperate and aid Grantee, at no expense to Grantor, to obtain any curative documents
needed to the extent such cure would not affect Grantor's title.
(b) If Grantee or Grantor determines that the easement intended to be
conveyed to Grantee and described herein, or any part thereof or undivided interest
therein, should be acquired by judicial procedure, either to procure good title or for any
other reason, then Grantor and Grantee hereby stipulate that (i) an agreement, in the same
form as this Easement Agreement, shall govern the terms of any easement obtained by
judicial procedure, and (ii) the ultimate award to the Grantor for the easement obtained
by Grantee by judicial procedure, shall be the same as the consideration stated in
Paragraph 12, but should the Grantor own a lesser interest in the Easement Area or
Temporary Easement Area intended to be conveyed to Grantee and described herein,
such award shall not exceed that portion of the consideration stated in Paragraph 12
which the value of such lesser interest of Grantee bears to the value of the entire
Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area described herein.
14. Recreation; Firearms; Hunting; Fishing; Dogs; Artifacts. At no time shall
Grantee or any of its elected officials, officers, agents, servants, employees,

such person from thereafter going upon the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement
Area (or the surrounding land of Grantor). Grantee consents and agrees that Grantor
shall have the right at any time to inspect the interior of any vehicle brought upon the

and Grantor or their respective employees, contractors or agents, it is understood and
agreed that Grantee's indemnity obligations shall be effective and shall cover all such
losses, claims, demands, or causes of action notwithstanding any negligence on the part
of Grantor or Grantor's, employees, contractors (including independent contractors and
subcontractors), agents or invitees. A dispute related to claims for damages accruing

rights granted hereunder, and Grantor shall be solely limited to the remedy of money
damages for such claims.
17. Indemnity Regarding Pollution. Grantee agrees to the extent permitted by
law to release, indemnify, defend, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against

Permitted Uses of the Pipeline during construction and installation of the Pipeline
System. Upon request Grantee shall provide a copy of such policies, and all renewals
and replacements thereof, to Grantor.
19. Easement Only. It is understood and agreed that this Agreement is not a

and Seller hereby stipulate that (i) an agreement, in the same form as the Easement Agreement, shall govern the
terms of any easement obtained by judicial procedure, and (ii) the ultimate award to the Seller for the easement
obtained by Buyer by judicial procedure, shall be the same as the consideration stated in Section 2.01 above and in
Paragraph 12 of the Easement Agreement, but should the Seller own a lesser interest in the Easement Area or
Temporary Easement Area intended to be conveyed to Buyer and described herein, such award shall not exceed
that portion of the consideration stated in Paragraph 12 of the Easement Agreement which the value of such lesser
interest of Seller bears to the value of the entire Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area described herein.
This Section 3.06 shall survive any termination of this Contract

EASEMENT AGREEMENT
STATE OF TEXAS §
§ KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT:
COUNTY OF §
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Easement Agreement (this
"Agreement'), Randall R. Adams and wife, Tammy R. Adams ("Grantor') whose address is
1420 Monticello Avenue, Lubbock, TX 79416 for and in consideration of the covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration to it paid by The City of Lubbock,
Texas (the "Grantee") with offices at 1625 13t' Street, Lubbock, Texas 79401, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby grants unto Grantee an easement (the
"Easement") subject to the terms of this Agreement through, over, under, upon, across and
within the sixty foot (60') wide area described by metes and bounds on Exhibit A (the
"Easement Area") situated in Garza County, Texas:
The Easement shall be for the survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of (i) a single underground pipeline located
within the Easement Area for the iransportation of fresh water (the "Pipeline'), and (ii) the
following equipment and appurtenances related to the Pipeline and situated within. the Easement
Area: conduits, drain (blow -off) valves, valve boxes, meter boxes, vents (air valves), manholes,
manhole covers (with post around manholes), corrosion monitoring test stations, pipeline
markers, fence gates, impressed current deep well anode stations with power supplies, flow
meters, system communication lines (including, but not limited to, fiber optic lines), splice
boxes, and corrosion control equipment, corrosion monitoring equipment and other equipment
and facilities related thereto (collectively, the "Pipeline Equipment')(the Pipeline together with
the Pipeline Equipment shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Pipeline System").
Further, Grantor hereby grants unto Grantee a temporary construction easement (the "Temporary
Easement") for the construction and installation of the Pipeline System over an area sixty feet
(60') in width located adjacent to, and abutting, the Easement Area (the "Temporary Easement
Area") on the northeast side of the Easement Area as more specifically described on Exhibit A.
The Temporary Easement shall terminate and expire upon the earlier of (i) completion of all
construction activities related to that portion of the Pipeline System situated within the Easement
Area, or (ii) June 30, 2014 (the "Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date"). in the event that the
Pipeline System within the Easement Area has not been completed by the Anticipated Pipeline
Completion Date, Grantee shall have the option to extend the term of the Temporary Easement
for up to two consecutive periods of two (2) years each with the first extension to commence on
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date and the second extension to commence on the second
anniversary of the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date; provided, however, that the Temporary
Easement shall in any event terminate and expire upon the completion of the Pipeline System
within the Easement Area and thereafter be of no further force and effect.. In order to exercise
its right to extend the Temporary Easement as aforesaid, not later than thirty (30) days prior to
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date (or the second anniversary of such date if the
Temporary Easement has already been extended) Grantee shall deliver to Grantor written notice
that it intends to extend'the Temporary Easement and pay to Grantor of the sum of $ j**10%
of the amount in paragraph 12(i) below**1 for each requested two (2) year extension.
Upon request of Grantor, after completion of that portion of the Pipeline System situated within
the Easement Area, or the termination and expiration of the Temporary Easement, Grantee shall
execute and deliver to Grantor a release of the Temporary Easement in a form acceptable for
filing.
The Easement and Temporary Easement are specifically made by Grantor and accepted
by Grantee subject to the following terms, covenants, obligations and conditions:
I . Permitted Uses. Grantee may use and occupy (a) the Easement Area for
the sole purpose of: (i) survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment;
(ii) the construction, installation, maintenance and repair of a pipeline trail road within
non -cultivated areas of the Easement Area, and (iii) ingress, egress and regress for
people, material, and equipment along, over and across the Easement Area to accomplish
the purposes stated in paragraph I (al(il provided that after completion of construction of
the Pipeline System situated within the Easement Area, and except in cases of emergency
or repair; on cultivated land ingress, egress and regress shall be permitted in, but limited
to, the use of then -existing turn rows, and (b) the Temporary Easement Area (during the
term thereof) for the sole purpose of (i) survey, construction and installation of the
Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment; (ii) ingress, egress and regress for people, material, and
equipment along, over and across the Temporary Easement Area to accomplish the
foregoing, and (c) during the term of the Temporary Easement, the Easement Area and
the Temporary Easement Area may be used for the temporary storage of materials and
equipment (including pipe for the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment) (collectively, the
"Permitted Uses"). Grantee shall use the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement
Area (for the term thereof) for the Permitted Uses, and activities reasonably related
thereto, and for no other purposes or uses.
2. Legal Requirements-, No Interference. Grantee covenants and agrees that
its use of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area, and its operations
conducted thereon, shall at all times comply with this Agreement and all material
applicable local, state and federal laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing,
permitting and other legal requirements including, without limitation, all material
environmental laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing and permitting (the
"Legal Requirements") and the safety guidelines shown on Exhibit B attached hereto
and made a part hereof. Further, Grantor and Grantee shall each conduct their activities
in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with, or cause disruption to, the other's
business, operations and property or those of a third party entering or crossing the
easement.
3. Due Care. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct the Pipeline System,
and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in a prudent manner and with due
professional care for Grantor's property, business and operations, and according to
standard industry practices.
4. Construction Specifications. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct,
maintain, repair and replace the Pipeline System in the Easement Area in accordance with
the following:
(a) Minimum Pipeline Depth. The Pipeline System shall be so located or
shall be buried at a sufficient depth so it will not interfere with farming activities
currently in practice and cultivation of the soil at the soil levels as they exist at
time of execution of this Easement and, in any event, the Pipeline shall be buried
at such depth as will allow a minimum coverage of forty-eight inches (48") for
current ranchland and a minimum coverage of sixty inches (60") for current
farmland. Any Pipeline Equipment that will be installed above plow depth on
cultivated lands shall only be installed at the locations identified on Exhibit C or,
if no locations are specified on Exhibit C. at such other locations that will not
interfere with farming activities and which are approved in writing by Grantor,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Ditching. Unless determined by an outside engineer to be impractical due
to the existence of rock or material elevation change, all ditching shall be in
accordance with the "double ditch" method whereby the top eighteen inches (18")
of soil (the "ToR Soil") shall be removed from the Pipeline trench (the "Trench")
and stored in a pile that is segregated from all other material and debris, and the
remaining soil (the "Bottom Soil") shall be removed from the Trench and stored
in a pile that is segregated from the Top Soil. When the Trench is refilled after
the Pipeline has been laid and the Pipeline Equipment installed, the Bottom Soil
shall be placed in the trench first leaving room to fill the uppermost eighteen
inches (18") of the Trench to be filled with Top Soil. Top Soil shall be used to fill
the remainder of the Trench. Any Bottom Soil remaining after filling the Trench
shall (i) on cultivated lands, be removed from the Easement Area and disposed of
off of the property of Grantor, and (ii) on uncultivated lands, shall be spread over
the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area in a manner acceptable to
Grantor and that will not restrict or limit the re -growth of natural vegetation.
Rocks or other debris arising in connection with clearing the Easement Area and
ditching the Trench for the Pipeline System shall be removed as set forth in
Paragraph 4 (hl below. As stated above, single ditching shall be allowed in all
areas where "double ditching" is impractical (as determined by an outside
engineer) due to the existence of rock or material elevation change.
(c) Trench Leveling. Within uncultivated areas, upon completion of
construction of the Pipeline System, excess material may be mounded over the
Trench and covered with Top Soil; provided that the mound will be limited to a
maximum of one foot (P) in height and will be graded to allow natural drainage.
Within cultivated areas, upon completion of construction of the Pipeline System,
the Easement area shall be leveled to grade (or as otherwise agreed to by Grantor
in writing). In all instances the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area
shall be cleaned up in a professional manner.
(d) Maximum Open Segments. The construction, installation, maintenance
and repair of the Pipeline System shall be performed in segments so that there is
never more than one thousand feet (1000') of open Trench at any one time and no
open segment shall be open for more than seven (7) days; provided, however, that
excavations for pipeline appurtenances and tunnel/bore crossings may remain
open for up to thirty (30) days.
(e) Compaction. Grantee shall mechanically compact all fill material to
prevent any subsidence. To the extent there exists or hereafter arises any
subsidence or erosion arising in connection with the construction, installation,
maintenance or repair of the Pipeline System, Grantee shall refill with top soil, re -
compact, and re -grade all affected areas and take any further action reasonably
required to return the surface to a substantially similar, or better, condition than
adjacent undisturbed areas and prevent future subsidence or erosion. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Grantee shall inspect the Pipeline at an interval of (i)
six months, (ii) twelve months, and (iii) eighteen months after initial Pipeline
System construction, and promptly refill and re -compact any subsidence or
erosion existing at such times in order to return the affected area to grade and to a
substantially similar, or better, condition than adjacent undisturbed areas and take
any further action reasonably required to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
The inspections periods set forth above are not intended to be a limitation on
Grantee's ongoing duty to fill, compact and maintain the grade of the land around
the Pipeline. Accordingly, in the event that Grantor at any time discovers any
subsidence or erosion after the installation of the Pipeline (whether before or after
expiration of the inspection periods provided for above), Grantor may provide
notice of such subsidence or erosion to Grantee. Within thirty (30) days' after
Grantee's receipt of such notice, Grantee shall commence and thereafter diligently
and without unreasonable delay refill with top soil, re -compact and re -grade all
affected areas and take any additional action as may be reasonably required to
return the affected area to grade and to a substantially similar, or better, condition
than adjacent undisturbed areas and to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
(f) Disc Plowing. If requested by Grantor, after completion of construction of
the Pipeline the top 6 to 12 inches of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement
Area through cultivated fields shall be disc plowed to loosen up soil for farming
operations.
(g) Gates. Grantee shall install gates at each existing fence to be crossed
within the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area in order to enable
Permitted Uses for the Pipeline System. Before a fence is cut by Grantee, Grantee
will set H-braces on the outside boundaries of the Temporary Easement and
Easement Area (e.g. 120 feet apart) then tie -off and cut the fence adjacent to each
H-brace. The Grantee shall then set temporary T-posts and string barbed wire
along the 120 foot opening and install a temporary barbed wire gate or gates, as
needed. At the time of construction through the affected area, the Grantee will
remove the temporary T-posts so as to permit construction activities. At night,
Grantee will install temporary fencing. Upon completion of the subject Pipeline
section, Grantee will install interior H-braces and a permanent 14 foot gate(s).
Grantee will then install permanent T-posts and barbed wire to connect the H-
braces. Fences, gates, gate posts and corners installed by Grantee shall meet the
specifications described in, and be installed as specified in, Exhibit D attached
hereto and made apart hereof and shall be installed with professional care and
according to standard industry practices. All gates installed by Grantee shall be
made of painted steel pipe. Except during construction as described above, all
fence gates on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and locked at all
times, unless Grantor in its sole discretion consents to temporary cattle guards or
other arrangements. All gates on the interior of Grantor's property shall be left as
found. All cattle guards on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and
locked at night unless otherwise requested by Grantor. After construction,
Grantee shall put a lock on all gates and Grantor may install its own lock on such
gates; provided, however, that at all times Grantor and Grantee shall have full and
complete access to the Easement Area.
(h) Debris Removal. Grantee covenants and agrees that at Grantee's sole cost
and expense any and all debris materials of any kind arising in connection with
the construction, installation, operation, inspection maintenance, replacement,
repair and removal of the Pipeline System, including trash, trees, timber, wood,
bushes, shrubs and brush, and other debris materials (collectively, "debris"), shall
be removed by Grantee from Grantor's property and disposed of properly so as to
make the surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed
areas. Further, all rocks and rubble arising in connection with the construction,
installation, operation, inspection, maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal
of the Pipeline System will be removed from Grantor's property so as to make the
surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee and Grantor by mutual agreement may
determine that (i) Grantee may shred or mulch trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs
and brush and scatter such debris over Grantor's property, (ii) Grantee may burn
trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs and brush, (iii) Grantee may store or scatter
rocks and rubble at locations designated by Grantor, or (iv) any other reasonable
method to dispose of trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs, brush, rocks and rubble.
If any trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs and brush are burned on site, the
Grantee shall maintain constant watch over burn piles with adequate firefighting
equipment on site. Grantee further agrees that neither Grantee nor its employees,
contractors, agents nor representatives will burn any trees, timber, wood, bushes,
shrubs or brush cleared from the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement Area
during burn bans designated by county officials.
(i) Temporary Crossings. During construction of the Pipeline System,
crossovers shall be installed by the Grantee over the Trench to provide access for
Grantor (and Grantor's personnel, equipment and livestock) over the Trench to
and from Grantor's adjacent property (i) over all existing paved or unpaved roads,
(ii) for livestock (at no less than 500 foot intervals), and (iii) at such other
locations as are reasonably designated by Grantor. Further, Grantee may, at
Grantee's option, construct temporary fencing near any open hole or trench.
0) Reseeding. If any of the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area
consists of grassland, Grantee shall, using the recommended procedure (either via
drill or broadcast), plant a native (e.g. native to the local area) seed mix of grass
and forbs selected by Grantor but subject to reasonable availability.
(k) Existing Terraces, Damage to Adjacent Property.
(i) Terraces. Existing terraces in the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area will be replaced upon the backfill of the trench
excavated in connection with the construction of the Pipeline System. In
the event that the breach of any existing terrace results in any damage to
Grantor's adjacent property or the breach of any down grade terraces
(whether or not within the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement
Area), Grantee shall repair any such damage and return the surface of
affected areas to a condition substantially similar to, or better than,
adjacent undisturbed areas.
(ii) Damage to Adjacent Property. In the event that the
activities of Grantee (or any of its agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors, suppliers or invitees and/or their equipment or vehicles)
within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area result in any
damage or erosion to Grantor's property located outside of the Easement
Area or Temporary Easement Area, Grantee shall repair any such damage
or erosion and return the surface of the affected areas to a condition
substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
(1) Diversions. Terraces.• Stream Beds. Grantee shall install water diversions
and terraces where necessary or appropriate in order to divert water away from
excavated areas, to prevent erosion and to permit the natural flow of water that
existed prior to construction of the Pipeline. Further, where the Easement Area
crosses any wet or seasonal stream beds, all Permitted Uses shall be conducted in
a recognized manner to protect said stream beds and to prevent erosion
(m) Blasting. Prior to blasting within the Easement Area, Grantee will notify
Grantor. However, no blasting will be permitted within five hundred feet (500')
of any existing buildings, pipelines or wells; provided, however, that Grantor shall
provide written disclosure of the location of any such improvements that are
located underground before such blasting.
(n) Trail Road. The pipeline trail road shall not exceed twelve feet (12') in
width. The trail road shall be constructed, repaired and maintained in a manner
consistent with Grantee's needs and purposes; provided, however, such trail road
shall include culverts and water diversions where appropriate to prevent washouts
and erosion. Grantee shall level or fill all ruts and washouts and otherwise
maintain the trail road on a reasonable basis. Grantor shall have use of such road
within Grantor's property so long as Grantor's use does not unreasonably
interfere with Grantee's use of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area.
After completion of the construction of the Pipeline System and except in cases of
emergencies, in order to avoid ruts and washouts, Grantee and Grantor shall use
reasonable efforts to avoid the use of the trail road when wet.
(o) Necessary Temporary Use. Grantee shall have the right to use Grantor's
property located immediately adjacent to the Easement Area and Temporary
Easement Area for the following:
(i) On rangeland, detouring around natural impassable
impediments within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area such
as canyons, large boulders or large trees; or
(ii) the repair and removal of equipment or vehicles stranded
within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area, but only to the
extent is there not sufficient area within the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area to permit such repair and removal.
Except as provided in this Paragraph 4(o), Grantee (and its elected
officials, officers, agents, servants, employees, representatives, contractors,
independent contractors, subcontractors, or any employee or invitee of any of
them) shall not at any time go upon the property of Grantor outside of the
Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area. To the extent that any such
incursion upon the lands of Grantor adjacent to the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area results in any damage to such lands, Grantee shall be
liable for such damage and in any event covenants and agrees that the affected
areas shall be returned to the condition that is substantially similar to, or better
than, adjacent undisturbed areas.

120 feet apart, that mark the outside boundaries of the combined 60 foot
Easement Area and 60 foot Temporary Easement Area). Such boundary shall be
staked with clearly visible, above ground markers so that all parties can easily

Pipeline System (and prior to trenching), Grantee shall grub (using an excavator
modified to grub mesquite) all mesquite within the Easement Area and shall also
grub any mesquite that has been destroyed, damaged, bladed, or cut within the
Temporary Easement Area. At its option Grantee may grub the entire Temporary
Easement Area. All debris arising as a result of grubbing activities will be
disposed of in accordance with Paragraph 4(h) above. Grantor acknowledges that
Grantee is not liable for any re -growth of vegetation after any tree grubbing
identified in this Paragraph 4 (q) or after any double ditching as identified in

abandonment of the Pipeline System. Any such abandonment will not be effective until
it is evidenced by notice in writing, signed by the Grantee's official representative, and
filed of record in the county where the Easement Area is located. If Grantee should
abandon the Pipeline System as aforesaid, then this Easement and the rights herein
granted shall automatically terminate and revert to, and become property of, Grantor, its
successors and assigns, and title to the Pipeline System located within the Easement Area

time that the Pipeline System is abandoned by Grantee as provided in Paragraph 7 above.
9. Covenant to Maintain Pipeline. Grantee shall at all times during the
Easement Term, at Grantee's sole cost and expense, exercise due care and diligence in
the use of the rights and privileges herein granted and keep the Pipeline System in a safe
and properly maintained condition. Grantee shall promptly make all necessary or

maintain the Pipeline System in good order, condition, and repair (ordinary wear and tear
excepted), and in such condition as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements.
Grantee shall keep the Easement Area in good order, condition and repair and free of all
debris following any work related to Permitted Uses on the Pipeline System.
10. Permits. Grantee shall be responsible for obtaining all permits necessary
for Permitted Uses within the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area.
Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent required, Grantee will secure and
maintain any and all environmental permits required by the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality relating to the Pipeline System and this Agreement. Grantee will
provide Grantor with a copy of Grantee's environmental permit(s), if applicable, and

Easement is non-exclusive and Grantor shall at all times have the right to (i) use and
enjoy the Easement Area for any purpose not specifically prohibited herein; (ii) grant
easements and rights of way over, under, upon, across and within the Easement Area to
such persons as Grantor deems proper; (iii) construct and maintain improvements upon
the Easement Area; and (iv) construct and maintain irrigation systems (including drip and
overheard irrigation systems) and components and water distribution lines to cultivate
and service Grantor's property (including the Easement Area), provided, however, (A) no
buildings or reservoirs may be constructed upon the Easement Area, (B) improvements
(other than drip irrigation lines and overhead irrigation equipment) may not parallel the
Pipeline within the Easement Area, (C) all power lines, pipelines (other than drip
irrigation lines and overhead irrigation systems), and telephone and other
telecommunication lines must cross the Easement Area at no less than a 45' (forty-five
degree) angle, (D) underground power lines and any metallic pipelines (excluding
irrigation water lines and water distribution lines used to service Grantor's property) must
have a minimum separation of two feet (2') from the Pipeline and must meet industry
standards in order not to adversely affect or damage the Pipeline, and (E) fences
constructed by Grantor within the Easement Area must have gates installed so that
Grantee at all times has access over and across the Easement Area. In the event that
Grantor determines to construct (or grant the right to any third party to construct)
improvements within the Easement Area that are not addressed above, Grantor shall
provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Grantee during which time
Grantee may have the proposed improvements analyzed by its outside engineers. If
during such thirty (30) day period Grantee provides to Grantor a detailed analysis of why
the proposed improvements will adversely affect the Pipeline or Pipeline System, Grantor
shall not construct such improvements until such time as Grantor and Grantee's engineers
agree upon a methodology for the construction of such improvements that will not
adversely affect the Pipeline, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either
Grantor or Grantee. Grantee and Grantor will at all times use their good faith efforts to
accommodate the needs and activities of one another. Grantee covenants and agrees not
to interfere with Grantor's rights to cultivate, use and enjoy the lands for any purpose,
except as limited herein, provided that any such operation or use by Grantor, or Grantor's
heirs, successors or assigns, shall not unreasonably interfere with or endanger the
operations or integrity of the Pipeline System. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that if
the Easement Area is subject to one or more oil and gas leases in existence as of the
Effective Date of this Easement, or if Grantor does not own the minerals under the
Easement Area, Grantor does not have control over and is not responsible for, or liable
for, compliance (or non-compliance) with this Paragraph 11 by any oil and gas lessee or
mineral owner(s).
12. Compensation for Grant of Easement. As complete consideration for the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Grantor, contemporaneously with the
execution hereof by Grantor the Grantee agrees to pay to Grantor (i) the sum of Eighty -
Five Dollars ($85.00) per rod for a total of Seventeen Thousand Six Hundred Six and
90/100ths Dollars ($17,606.90) for the grant of the Easement and the grant of the
Temporary Easement, (ii) the sum of ($ ) for damage to, or
the replacement of, machinery and equipment (including irrigation systems and
equipment) and other personal property specified on Exhibit E, and (iii) the sum of
($_____, for damage to crops. In the event that as a result of the time of
year in which construction of the Pipeline will occur Grantor (or its lessee) will suffer
crop losses for two consecutive years, prior to commencement of construction (or, if
construction has already commenced, but was delayed or extended, prior to continuation
of construction) Grantee shall pay to Grantor an additional sum for crop losses in the
amount specified in item (iii) above. The foregoing consideration constitutes payment to
Grantor and Grantor's successors, assigns, or agricultural lessees or tenants, if any, for
the grant of the Easement and Temporary Easement and for damage to the specified
equipment, machinery and crops resulting from the initial construction and installation of
the Pipeline System.
The market value of any damaged crop shall be calculated using the following
formula: Affected Acres X Yield Per Acre X Unit Price for the affected crop = damages
to be paid, where (i) the amount of the affected acreage will be reasonably determined by
the Federal Farm Service Agency in the county where the premises is located, or if the
Federal Farm Service Agency fails or refuses to make such calculation, as reasonably
determined by Grantor, (ii) yield per acre will be the average of the previous three (3)
years' yields according to the Grantor's (or Grantor's lessee's) records for the affected
parcel, but if the Grantor (or Grantor's lessee) does not have yield records available, the
parties will use Federal Farm Service Agency records or other commonly used yield
information available for the area, and (iii) unit price will be based upon the average of
the last previous March 1" and September 1s` prices for the affected crop as set by the
Chicago Board of Trade, New York Cotton Exchange, Kansas City Board of Trade, or
other similar exchange, as appropriate for the affected crop. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Parties hereto agree that the unit price for damages to cotton crops shall be
$0.52 per pound.
13. Title. (a) Grantee acknowledges that at its sole cost and expense it has
researched the title to the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area and, where
it deemed it necessary, obtained abstracts or certificates of title or title insurance to such
property. Grantor represents that to the best of its knowledge set forth on Exhibit F is a
list of (i) all unrecorded agricultural leases and agreements which encumber the subject
property, (ii) all unrecorded mortgages or deeds of trust which encumber the subject
property, and (iii) all unrecorded easements granted by Grantor which encumber the
subject property. Grantor will provide Grantee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
execution of this Agreement, with all documents identified and to be attached hereto as
Exhibit F. The grant of the Easement herein contained is subject to (A) all items
disclosed on Exhibit F, (B) all items that would be disclosed on an accurate commitment
for title insurance covering the subject property (which Grantor understands that Grantee
has received and reviewed), (C) above ground power lines, (D) public roads as reflected
on the official county (or state) road map(s), (E) all valid and subsisting encumbrances,
easements, agricultural leases, wind energy leases, and rights -of -way of record in the
county where the subject property is located and that affect the Easement Area and the
Temporary Easement Area as of the Effective Date, and (F) all minerals that have been
severed from the surface and all oil and gas and other mineral leases existing on the
Effective Date. It shall be the obligation of Grantee to procure and have recorded without
cost to Grantor all assurances of title and affidavits which Grantee determines are
necessary and proper to show in Grantor title sufficient to grant this Easement. The
expense of recording this Agreement shall be borne by Grantee. Grantor agrees to
cooperate and aid Grantee, at no expense to Grantor, to obtain any curative documents
needed to the extent such cure would not affect Grantor's title.
(b) If Grantee or Grantor determines that the easement intended to be
conveyed to Grantee and described herein, or any part thereof or undivided interest
therein, should be acquired by judicial procedure, either to procure good title or for any
other reason, then Grantor and Grantee hereby stipulate that (i) an agreement, in the same
form as this Easement Agreement, shall govern the terms of any easement obtained by
judicial procedure, and (ii) the ultimate award to the Grantor for the easement obtained
by Grantee by judicial procedure, shall be the same as the consideration stated in
Paragraph 12, but should the Grantor own a lesser interest in the Easement Area or
Temporary Easement Area intended to be conveyed to Grantee and described herein,
such award shall not exceed that portion of the consideration stated in Parag_raph 12
which the value of such lesser interest of Grantee bears to the value of the entire
Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area described herein.
14. Recreation,• Firearms,• Hunting_ Fishing, Dogs, Artifacts. At no time shall
Grantee or any of its elected officials, officers, agents, servants, employees,
representatives, contractors, independent contractors, subcontractors, or any employee or

agreed that all commercial photography and the sale of any photographs taken from the
Easement Area or surrounding lands of Grantor are expressly prohibited. Any person in

such person from thereafter going upon the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement
Area (or the surrounding land of Grantor). Grantee consents and agrees that Grantor
shall have the right at any time to inspect the interior of any vehicle brought upon the

losses, claims, demands, or causes of action notwithstanding any negligence on the part

SEE ATTACHED
EASEMENT AGREEMENT
STATE OF TEXAS
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT:
COUNTY OF
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Easement Agreement (this
"Agreement'), Ronnie Dunn and Ross L. Dunn ("Grantor") whose address is 1252 FM 399,
Post, TX 79356, for and in consideration of the covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration to it paid by The City of Lubbock, Texas (the "Grantee") with offices at
1625 13t' Street, Lubbock, Texas 79401, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, hereby grants unto Grantee an easement (the "Easement") subject to the terms of
this Agreement through, over, under, upon, across and within the sixty foot (60') wide area
described by metes and bounds on Exhibit A (the "Easement Area") situated in Garza County,
Texas:
The Easement shall be for the survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of (i) a single underground pipeline located
within the Easement Area for the transportation of fresh water (the "Pipeline"), and (ii) the
following equipment and appurtenances related to the Pipeline and situated within the Easement
Area: conduits, drain (blow -off) valves, valve boxes, meter boxes, vents (air valves), manholes,
manhole covers (with post around manholes), corrosion monitoring test stations, pipeline
markers, fence gates, impressed current deep well anode stations with power supplies, flow
meters, system communication lines (including, but not limited to, fiber optic lines), splice
boxes, and corrosion control equipment, corrosion monitoring equipment and other equipment
and facilities related thereto (collectively, the "Pipeline Equipment `)(the Pipeline together with
the Pipeline Equipment shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Pipeline S s�").
Further, Grantor hereby grants unto Grantee a temporary construction easement (the "Temporary
Easement") for the construction and installation of the Pipeline System over an area sixty feet
(60') in width located adjacent to, and abutting, the Easement Area (the "Temporary Easement
Area") on the northeast side of the Easement Area as more specifically described on Exhibit A.
The Temporary Easement shall terminate and expire upon the earlier of (i) completion of all
construction activities related to that portion of the Pipeline System situated within the Easement
Area, or (ii) June 30, 2014 (the "Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date"). In the event that the
Pipeline System within the Easement Area has not been completed by the Anticipated Pipeline
Completion Date, Gcantee shall have the option to extend the term of the Temporary Easement
for up to two consecutive periods of two (2) years each with the first extension to commence on
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date and the second extension to commence on the second
anniversary of the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date; provided, however, that the Temporary
Easement shall in any event terminate and expire upon the completion of the Pipeline System
within the Easement Area and thereafter be of no further force and effect.. In order to exercise
its right to extend the Temporary Easement as aforesaid, not later than thirty (30) days prior to
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date (or the second anniversary of such date if the
Temporary Easement has already been extended) Grantee shall deliver to Grantor written notice
that it intends to extend the Temporary Easement and pay to Grantor of the sum of $ [* * 10%
of the amount in paragraph 12(i) below**J_ for each requested two (2) year extension.
Upon request of Grantor, after completion of that portion of the Pipeline System situated within
the Easement Area, or the termination and expiration of the Temporary Easement, Grantee shall
execute and deliver to Grantor a release of the Temporary Easement in a form acceptable for
filing.
The Easement and Temporary Easement are specifically made by Grantor and accepted
by Grantee subject to the following terms, covenants, obligations and conditions:
1. Permitted Uses. Grantee may use and occupy (a) the Easement Area for
the sole purpose of. (i) survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment;
(ii) the construction, installation, maintenance and repair of a pipeline trail road within
non -cultivated areas of the Easement Area, and (iii) ingress, egress and regress for
people, material, and equipment along, over and across the Easement Area to accomplish
the purposes stated in paragraph 1(a)(i) provided that after completion of construction of
the Pipeline System situated within the Easement Area, and except in cases of emergency
or repair,, on cultivated land ingress, egress and regress shall be permitted in, but limited
to, the use of then -existing turn rows, and (b) the Temporary Easement Area (during the
term thereof) for the sole purpose of. (i) survey, construction and installation of the
Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment; (ii) ingress, egress and regress for people, material, and
equipment along, over and across the Temporary Easement Area to accomplish the
foregoing, and (c) during the term of the Temporary Easement, the Easement Area and
the Temporary Easement Area may be used for the temporary storage of materials and
equipment (including pipe for the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment) (collectively, the
"Permitted Uses"). Grantee shall use the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement
Area (for the term thereof) for the Permitted Uses, and activities reasonably related
thereto, and for no other purposes or uses.
2. Legal_ Requirements; No Interference. Grantee covenants and agrees that
its use of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area, and its operations
conducted thereon, shall at all times comply with this Agreement and all material
applicable local, state and federal laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing,
permitting and other legal requirements including, without limitation, all material
environmental laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing and permitting (the
"Legal Requirements") and the safety guidelines shown on Exhibit B attached hereto
and made a part hereof. Further, Grantor and Grantee shall each conduct their activities
in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with, or cause disruption to, the other's
business, operations and property or those of a third party entering or crossing the
easement.
3. Due Care. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct the Pipeline System,
and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in a prudent manner and with due
professional care for Grantor's property, business and operations, and according to
standard industry practices.
4. Construction Specifications. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct,
maintain, repair and replace the Pipeline System in the Easement Area in accordance with
the following:
(a) Minimum Pipeline Depth. The Pipeline System shall be so located or
shall be buried at a sufficient depth so it will not interfere with farming activities
currently in practice and cultivation of the soil at the soil levels as they exist at
time of execution of this Easement and, in any event, the Pipeline shall be buried
at such depth as will allow a minimum coverage of forty-eight inches (48") for
current ranchland and a minimum coverage of sixty inches (60") for current
farmland. Any Pipeline Equipment that will be installed above plow depth on
cultivated lands shall only be installed at the locations identified on Exhibit C or,
if no locations are specified on Exhibit C, at such other locations that will not
interfere with farming activities and which are approved in writing by Grantor,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Ditching. Unless determined by an outside engineer to be impractical due
to the existence of rock or material elevation change, all ditching shall be in
accordance with the "double ditch" method whereby the top eighteen inches (18")
of soil (the "Top Soil") shall be removed from the Pipeline trench (the "Trench")
and stored in a pile that is segregated from all other material and debris, and the
remaining soil (the "Bottom Soil") shall be removed from the Trench and stored
in a pile that is segregated from the Top Soil. When the Trench is refilled after
the Pipeline has been laid and the Pipeline Equipment installed, the Bottom Soil
shall be placed in the trench first leaving room to fill the uppermost eighteen
inches (18") of the Trench to be filled with Top Soil. Top Soil shall be used to fill
the remainder of the Trench. Any Bottom Soil remaining after filling the Trench
shall (i) on cultivated lands, be removed from the Easement Area and disposed of
off of the property of Grantor, and (ii) on uncultivated lands, shall be spread over
the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area in a manner acceptable to
Grantor and that will not restrict or limit the re -growth of natural vegetation.
Rocks or other debris arising in connection with clearing the Easement Area and
ditching the Trench for the Pipeline System shall be removed as set forth in
Paragraph 4 N below. As stated above, single ditching shall be allowed in all
areas where "double ditching" is impractical (as determined by an outside
engineer) due to the existence of rock or material elevation change.
(c) Trench Leveling. Within uncultivated areas, upon completion of
construction of the Pipeline System, excess material may be mounded over the
Trench and covered with Top Soil; provided that the mound will be limited to a
maximum of one foot (1') in height and will be graded to allow natural drainage.
Within cultivated areas, upon completion of construction of the Pipeline System,
the Easement area shall be leveled to grade (or as otherwise agreed to by Grantor
in writing). In all instances the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area
shall be cleaned up in a professional manner.
(d) Maximum Open Segments. The construction, installation, maintenance
and repair of the Pipeline System shall be performed in segments so that there is
never more than one thousand feet (1000') of open Trench at any one time and no
open segment shall be open for more than seven (7) days; provided, however, that
excavations for pipeline appurtenances and tunnel/bore crossings may remain
open for up to thirty (30) days.
(e) Compaction. Grantee shall mechanically compact all fill material to
prevent any subsidence. To the extent there exists or hereafter arises any
subsidence or erosion arising in connection with the construction, installation,
maintenance or repair of the Pipeline System, Grantee shall refill with top soil, re -
compact and re -grade all affected areas and take any further action reasonably
required to return the surface to a substantially similar, or better, condition than
adjacent undisturbed areas and prevent future subsidence or erosion. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Grantee shall inspect the Pipeline at an interval of (i)
six months, (ii) twelve months, and (iii) eighteen months after initial Pipeline
System construction, and promptly refill and re -compact any subsidence or
erosion existing at such times in order to return the affected area to grade and to a
substantially similar, or better, condition than adjacent undisturbed areas and take
any further action reasonably required to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
The inspections periods set forth above are not intended to be a limitation on
Grantee's ongoing duty to fill, compact and maintain the grade of the land around
the Pipeline. Accordingly, in the event that Grantor at any time discovers any
subsidence or erosion after the installation of the Pipeline (whether before or after
expiration of the inspection periods provided for above), Grantor may provide
notice of such subsidence or erosion to Grantee. Within thirty (30) days' after
Grantee's receipt of such notice, Grantee shall commence and thereafter diligently
and without unreasonable delay refill with top soil, re -compact and re -grade all
affected areas and take any additional action as may be reasonably required to
return the affected area to grade and to a substantially similar, or better, condition
than adjacent undisturbed areas and to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
(f) Disc Plowing. If requested by Grantor, after completion of construction of
the Pipeline the top 6 to 12 inches of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement
Area through cultivated fields shall be disc plowed to loosen up soil for fanning
operations.
(g) Gates. Grantee shall install gates at each existing fence to be crossed
within the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area in order to enable
Permitted Uses for the Pipeline System. Before a fence is out by Grantee, Grantee
will set H-braces on the outside boundaries of the Temporary Easement and
Easement Area (e.g, 120 feet apart) then tie -off and cut the fence adjacent to each
H-brace. The Grantee shall then set temporary T-pasts and string barbed wire
along the 120 foot opening and install a temporary barbed wire gate or gates, as
needed. At the time of construction through the affected area, the Grantee will
remove the temporary T-posts so as to permit construction activities. At night,
Grantee will install temporary fencing. Upon completion of the subject Pipeline
section, Grantee will install interior H-braces and a permanent 14 foot gate(s).
Grantee will then install permanent T-posts and barbed wire to connect the H-
braces. Fences, gates, gate posts and corners installed by Grantee shall meet the
specifications described in, and be installed as specified in, Exhibit D attached
hereto and made apart hereof and shall be installed with professional care and
according to standard industry practices. All gates installed by Grantee shall be
made of painted steel pipe. Except during construction as described above, all
fence gates on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and locked at all
times, unless Grantor in its sole discretion consents to temporary cattle guards or
other arrangements. All gates on the interior of Grantor's property shall be left as
found. All cattle guards on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and
locked at night unless otherwise requested by Grantor. After construction,
Grantee shall put a lock on all gates and Grantor may install its own lock on such
gates; provided, however, that at all times Grantor and Grantee shall have full and
complete access to the Easement Area.
(h) Debris Removal. Grantee covenants and agrees that at Grantee's sole cost
and expense any and all debris materials of any kind arising in connection with
the construction, installation, operation, inspection maintenance, replacement,
repair and removal of the Pipeline System, including trash, trees, timber, wood,
bushes, shrubs and brush, and other debris materials (collectively, "debris"), shall
be removed by Grantee from Grantor's property and disposed of properly so as to
make the surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed
areas. Further, all rocks and rubble arising in connection with the construction,
installation, operation, inspection, maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal
of the Pipeline System will be removed from Grantor's property so as to make the
surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee and Grantor by mutual agreement may
determine that (i) Grantee may shred or mulch trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs
and brush and scatter such debris over Grantor's property, (ii) Grantee may bum
trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs and brush, (iii) Grantee may store or scatter
rocks and rubble at locations designated by Grantor, or (iv) any other reasonable
method to dispose of trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs, brush, rocks and rubble.
If any trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs and brush are burned on site, the
Grantee shall maintain constant watch over burn piles with adequate firefighting
equipment on site. Grantee further agrees that neither Grantee nor its employees,
contractors, agents nor representatives will burn any trees, timber, wood, bushes,
shrubs or brush cleared from the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement Area
during burn bans designated by county officials.
(i) Temporary Crossings. During construction of the Pipeline System,
crossovers shall be installed by the Grantee over the Trench to provide access for
Grantor (and Grantor's personnel, equipment and livestock) over the Trench to
and from Grantor's adjacent property (i) over all existing paved or unpaved roads,
(ii) for livestock (at no less than 500 foot intervals), and (iii) at such other
locations as are reasonably designated by Grantor. Further, Grantee may, at
Grantee's option, construct temporary fencing near any open hole or trench.
0) Reseeding. If any of the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area
consists of grassland, Grantee shall, using the recommended procedure (either via
drill or broadcast), plant a native (e.g. native to the local area) seed mix of grass
and fortis selected by Grantor but subject to reasonable availability.
(k) Existing Terraces; Damage to Adjacent Property.
(i) Terraces. Existing terraces in the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area will be replaced upon the backfiil of the trench
excavated in connection with the construction of the Pipeline System. In
the event that the breach of any existing terrace results in any damage to
Grantor's adjacent property or the breach of any down grade terraces
(whether or not within the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement
Area), Grantee shall repair any such damage and return the surface of
affected areas to a condition substantially similar to, or better than,
adjacent undisturbed areas.
(ii) Damage to Adjacent Property. In the event that the
activities of Grantee (or any of its agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors, suppliers or invitees and/or their equipment or vehicles)
within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area result in any
damage or erosion to Grantor's property located outside of the Easement
Area or Temporary Easement Area, Grantee shall repair any such damage
or erosion and return the surface of the affected areas to a condition
substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
(1) Diversions-, Terraces; Stream Beds. Grantee shall install water diversions
and terraces where necessary or appropriate in order to divert water away fiom
excavated areas, to prevent erosion and to permit the natural flow of water that
existed prior to construction of the Pipeline. Further, where the Easement Area
crosses any wet or seasonal stream beds, all Permitted Uses shall be conducted in
a recognized manner to protect said stream beds and to prevent erosion
(m) Blasting. Prior to blasting within the Easement Area, Grantee will notify
Grantor. However, no blasting will be permitted within five hundred feet (500')
of any existing buildings, pipelines or wells; provided, however, that Grantor shall
provide written disclosure of the location of any such improvements that are
located underground before such blasting.
(n) Trail Road. The pipeline trail road shall not exceed twelve feet (12') in
width. The trail road shall be constructed, repaired and maintained in a manner
consistent with Grantee's needs and purposes; provided, however, such trail road
shall include culverts and water diversions where appropriate to prevent washouts
and erosion. Grantee shall level or fill all ruts and washouts and otherwise
maintain the trail road on a reasonable basis. Grantor shall have use of such road
within Grantor's property so long as Grantor's use does not unreasonably
interfere with Grantee's use of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area.
After completion of the construction of the Pipeline System and except in cases of
emergencies, in order to avoid ruts and washouts, Grantee and Grantor shall use
reasonable efforts to avoid the use of the trail road when wet.

time that the Pipeline System is abandoned by Grantee as provided in Paragraph 7 above.
9. Covenant to Maintain Pipeline. Grantee shall at all times during the
Easement Term, at Grantee's sole cost and expense, exercise due care and diligence in
the use of the rights and privileges herein granted and keep the Pipeline System in a safe

degree) angle, (D) underground power lines and any metallic pipelines (excluding
irrigation water lines and water distribution fines used to service Grantor's property) must
have a minimum separation of two feet (2') from the Pipeline and must meet industry
standards in order not to adversely affect or damage the Pipeline, and (E) fences
constructed by Grantor within the Easement Area must have gates installed so that
Grantee at all times has access over and across the Easement Area. In the event that

improvements within the Easement Area that are not addressed above, Grantor shall
provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Grantee during which time
Grantee may have the proposed improvements analyzed by its outside engineers. If
during such thirty (30) day period Grantee provides to Grantor a detailed analysis of why
the proposed improvements will adversely affect the Pipeline or Pipeline System, Grantor
shall not construct such improvements until such time as Grantor and Grantee's engineers
agree upon a methodology for the construction of such improvements that will not
adversely affect the Pipeline, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either
Grantor or Grantee. Grantee and Grantor will at all times use their good faith efforts to
accommodate the needs and activities of one another. Grantee covenants and agrees not
to interfere with Grantor's rights to cultivate, use and enjoy the lands for any purpose,
except as limited herein, provided that any such operation or use by Grantor, or Grantor's
heirs, successors or assigns, shall not unreasonably interfere with or endanger the
operations or integrity of the Pipeline System. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that if
the Easement Area is subject to one or more oil and gas leases in existence as of the
Effective Date of this Easement, or if Grantor does not own the minerals under the
Easement Area, Grantor does not have control over and is not responsible for, or liable
for, compliance (or non-compliance) with this Paragraph 11 by any oil and gas lessee or
mineral owner(s).
12. Compensation for Grant of Easement. As complete consideration for the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Grantor, contemporaneously with the
execution hereof by Grantor the Grantee agrees to pay to Grantor (i) the sum of Eighty -
Five Dollars ($85.00) per rod for a total of Ten Thousand Two Hundred Eighty -Eight and
05/100ths Dollars ($10,288.05) for the grant of the Easement and the grant of the
Temporary Easement, (ii) the sum of ($ ? for damage to, or
the replacement of, machinery and equipment (including irrigation systems and
equipment) and • other personal property specified on Exhibit E, and (iii) the sum of
for damage to crops. In the event that as a result of the time of
year in which construction of the Pipeline will occur Grantor (or its lessee) will suffer
crop losses for two consecutive years, prior to commencement of construction (or, if
construction has already commenced, but was delayed or extended, prior to continuation
of construction) Grantee shall pay to Grantor an additional sum for crop losses in the
amount specified in item (iii) above. The foregoing consideration constitutes payment to
Grantor and Grantor's successors, assigns, or agricultural lessees or tenants, if any, for
the grant of the Easement and Temporary Easement and for damage to the specified
equipment, machinery and crops resulting from the initial construction and installation of
the Pipeline System.
The market value of any damaged crop shall be calculated using the following
formula: Affected Acres X Yield Per Acre X Unit Price for the affected crop = damages
to be paid, where (i) the amount of the affected acreage will be reasonably determined by
the Federal Farm Service Agency in the county where the premises is located, or if the
Federal Farm Service Agency fails or refuses to make such calculation, as reasonably
determined by Grantor, (ii) yield per acre will be the average of the previous three (3)
years' yields according to the Grantor's (or Grantor's lessee's) records for the affected
parcel, but if the Grantor (or Grantor's lessee) does not have yield records available, the
parties will use Federal Farm Service Agency records or other commonly used yield
information available for the area, and (iii) unit price will be based upon the average of
the last previous March Ist and September 0 prices for the affected crop as set by the
Chicago Board of Trade, New York Cotton Exchange, Kansas City Board of Trade, or
other similar exchange, as appropriate for the affected crop. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Parties hereto agree that the unit price for damages to cotton crops shall be
$0.52 per pound.
13. Title. (a) Grantee acknowledges that at its sole cost and expense it has
researched the title to the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area and, where
it deemed it necessary, obtained abstracts or certificates of title or title insurance to such
property. Grantor represents that to the best of its knowledge set forth on Exhibit F is a
list of (i) all unrecorded agricultural leases and agreements which encumber the subject
property, (ii) all unrecorded mortgages or deeds of trust which encumber the subject
property, and (iii) all unrecorded easements granted by Grantor which encumber the
subject property. Grantor will provide Grantee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
execution of this Agreement, with all documents identified and to be attached hereto as
Exhibit F. The grant of the Easement herein contained is subject to (A) all items
disclosed on Exhibit F, (B) all items that would be disclosed on an accurate commitment
for title insurance covering the subject property (which Grantor understands that Grantee
has received and reviewed), (C) above ground power lines, (D) public roads as reflected
on the official county (or state) road map(s), (E) all valid and subsisting encumbrances,
easements, agricultural leases, wind energy leases, and rigbts-of-way of record in the
county where the subject property is located and that affect the Easement Area and the
Temporary Easement Area as of the Effective Date, and (F) all minerals that have been
severed from the surface and all oil and gas and other mineral leases existing on the
Effective Date. It shall be the obligation of Grantee to procure and have recorded without
cost to Grantor all assurances of title and affidavits which Grantee determines are
necessary and proper to show in Grantor title sufficient to grant this Easement. The
expense of recording this Agreement shall be borne by Grantee. Grantor agrees to
cooperate and aid Grantee, at no expense to Grantor, to obtain any curative documents
needed to the extent such cure would not affect Grantor's title.
(b) If Grantee or Grantor determines that the easement intended to be
conveyed to Grantee and described herein, or any part thereof or undivided interest
therein, should be acquired by judicial procedure, either to procure good title or for any
other reason, then Grantor and Grantee hereby stipulate that (i) an agreement, in the same
form as this Easement Agreement, shall govern the terms of any easement obtained by
judicial procedure, and (ii) the ultimate award to the Grantor for the easement obtained
by Grantee by judicial procedure, shall be the same as the consideration stated in
Par, ag aph 12, but should the Grantor own a lesser interest in the Easement Area or
Temporary Easement Area intended to be conveyed to Grantee and described herein,
such award shall not exceed that portion of the consideration stated in Paragraph 12
which the value of such lesser interest of Grantee bears to the value of the entire
Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area described herein.
14. Recreation; Firearms, Hunting, Fishing, Dogs, Artifacts. At no time shall
Grantee or any of its elected officials, officers, agents, servants, employees,

to satisfy the Objections within such ten (10) calendar day period, Buyer or Seller may at its option extend the
cure period up to an additional fifteen (15) days or Seller may inform Buyer that Seller is unable or unwilling to
cure the Objections. If the Objections remain unsatisfied, and if Buyer and Seller do not agree in writing to an
extension of that period, then Buyer has the option of either:
0) waiving the unsatisfied Objections by, and only by, notice in writing to Seller within five (5) calendar days
after the expiration of the cure period, in which event those Objections shall become Permitted.
Exceptions; or
(ii) terminating this Contract by notice in writing and receiving back the Independent Consideration, in which

matter of this Contract, except as provided in Section 3.06 below.
3.05 Title Policy. At Closing, Buyer, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, shall cause a standard Texas
Owner Policy of Title Insurance ("Title Policy") to be furnished to Buyer. The Title Policy shall be issued by the
Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price and insuring that Buyer has an easement pursuant to the
Easement Agreement over and across the Easement Area, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the
terms of the Easement. The Title Policy may contain only the Permitted Exceptions and shall contain no other
exceptions to title, with the standard printed or commonly inserted exceptions amended or deleted, at the option
of Buyer, as follows:
(I) if available based upon the Survey, the survey exception may be amended to read "shortages in area"
only (although Schedule C of the Title Commitment may condition amendment on the presentation of an
acceptable survey and payment, to be borne solely by Buyer, of any required additional premium);
(ii) no exception will be permitted for "visible and apparent easements" or words to that effect;
(iii) no exception will be permitted for "rights of parties in possession" (provided that any inspection fees or
expenses required by the Title Company to delete this exception shall be paid by Buyer);
(iv) no liens will be shown on Schedule B, unless the holder thereof has subordinated its lien rights to the
Easement.
Notwithstanding the enumeration of the following exceptions, amendments and/or deletions, Buyer may
object to any Exceptions it deems material, in its sole discretion.
3.06 Other Remedies. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Contract to the contrary, if Buyer
determines that the easement intended to be conveyed to Buyer and described herein and in the Easement
Agreement, or any part thereof or undivided interest therein, should be acquired by judicial procedure to procure
good title, then Buyer and Seller hereby stipulate that (i) an agreement, in the same form as the Easement
Agreement, shall govern the terms of any easement obtained by judicial procedure, and (ii) the ultimate award to
the Seller for the easement obtained by Buyer by judicial procedure, shall be the same as the consideration
stated in Section 2.01 above and in Paragraph 12 of the Easement Agreement, but should the Seller own a lesser
interest in the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area intended to be conveyed to Buyer and described
herein, such award shall not exceed that portion of the consideration stated in Paragraph 12 of the Easement
Agreement which the value of such lesser interest of Seller bears to the value of the entire Easement Area or
Temporary Easement Area described herein. This Section 3.06 shall survive any termination of this Contract.

EASEMENT AGREEMENT
STATE OF TEXAS §
§ KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT:
COUNTY OF §
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Easement Agreement (this
"Ageement'), Cecil Stolle a/k/a Cecil W. Stolle and wife Carolyn Laverne Stolle ("Grantor')
whose address is 815 S 201h Street, Slaton, Lubbock County, TX 79364 for and in consideration
of the covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration to it paid by The
City of Lubbock, Texas (the "Grantee") with offices at 1625 13'h Street, Lubbock, Texas 79401,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby grants unto Grantee an
easement (the "Easement') subject to the terms of this Agreement through, over, under, upon,
across and within the sixty foot (60') wide area described by metes and bounds on Exhibit A
(the "Easement Area") situated in Garza County, Texas:
The Easement shall be for the survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of (i) a single underground pipeline located
within the Easement Area for the transportation of fresh water (the "Pipeline"), and (ii) the
following equipment and appurtenances related to the Pipeline and situated within the Easement
Area: conduits, drain (blow -off) valves, valve boxes, meter boxes, vents (air valves), manholes,
manhole covers (with post around manholes), corrosion monitoring test stations, pipeline
markers, fence gates, impressed current deep well anode stations with power supplies, flow
meters, system communication lines (including, but not limited to, fiber optic lines), splice
boxes, and corrosion control equipment, corrosion monitoring equipment and other equipment
and facilities related thereto (collectively, the "Pipeline Equipment')(the Pipeline together with
the Pipeline Equipment shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Pipeline System").
Further, Grantor hereby grants unto Grantee a temporary construction easement (the "Temporary
Easement") for the construction and installation of the Pipeline System over an area sixty feet
(60') in width located adjacent to, and abutting, the Easement Area (the "Temporary Easement
Are on the northeast side of the Easement Area as more specifically described on Exhibit A.
The Temporary Easement shall terminate and expire upon the earlier of (i) completion of all
construction activities related to that portion of the Pipeline System situated within the Easement
Area, or (ii) June 30, 2014 (the "Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date"). In the event that the
Pipeline System within the Easement Area has not been completed by the Anticipated Pipeline
Completion Date, Grantee shall have the option to extend the term of the Temporary Easement
for up to two consecutive periods of two (2) years each with the first extension to commence on
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date and the second extension to commence on the second
anniversary of the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date; provided, however, that the Temporary
Easement shall in any event terminate and expire upon the completion of the Pipeline System
within the Easement Area and thereafter be of no further force and effect.. In order to exercise
its right to extend the Temporary Easement as aforesaid, not later than thirty (30) days prior to
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date (or the second anniversary of such date if the
Temporary Easement has already been extended) Grantee shall deliver to Grantor written notice
that it intends to extend the Temporary Easement and pay to Grantor of the sum of $ f * * 10%
of the amount in paragraph 126below**] for each requested two (2) year extension.
Upon request of Grantor, after completion of that portion of the Pipeline System situated within
the Easement Area, or the termination and expiration of the Temporary Easement, Grantee shall
execute and deliver to Grantor a release of the Temporary Easement in a form acceptable for
filing.
The Easement and Temporary Easement are specifically made by Grantor and accepted
by Grantee subject to the following terms, covenants, obligations and conditions:
I. Permitted Uses. Grantee may use and occupy (a) the Easement Area for
the sole purpose of: (i) survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment;
(ii) the construction, installation, maintenance and repair of a pipeline trail road within
non -cultivated areas of the Easement Area, and (iii) ingress, egress and regress for
people, material, and equipment along, over and across the Easement Area to accomplish
the purposes stated in paragraph I(a)(i) provided that after completion of construction of
the Pipeline System situated within the Easement Area, and except in cases of emergency
or repair,- on cultivated land ingress, egress and regress shall be permitted in, but limited
to, the use of then -existing turn rows, and (b) the Temporary Easement Area (during the
term thereof) for the sole purpose of (i) survey, construction and installation of the
Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment; (ii) ingress, egress and regress for people, material, and
equipment along, over and across the Temporary Easement Area to accomplish the
foregoing, and (c) during the term of the Temporary Easement, the Easement Area and
the Temporary Easement Area may be used for the temporary storage of materials and
equipment (including pipe for the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment) (collectively, the
"Permitted Uses"). Grantee shall use the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement
Area (for the term thereof) for the Permitted Uses, and activities reasonably related
thereto, and for no other purposes or uses.
2. Legal Requirements; No Interference. Grantee covenants and agrees that
its use of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area, and its operations
conducted thereon, shall at all times comply with this Agreement and all material
applicable local, state and federal laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing,
permitting and other legal requirements including, without limitation, all material
environmental laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing and permitting (the
"Legal Requirements") and the safety guidelines shown on Exhibit B attached hereto
and made a part hereof. Further, Grantor and Grantee shall each conduct their activities
in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with, or cause disruption to, the other's
business, operations and property or those of a third party entering or crossing the
easement.
3. Due Care. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct the Pipeline System,
and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in a prudent manner and with due
professional care for Grantor's property, business and operations, and according to
standard industry practices.
4. Construction Specifications. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct,
maintain, repair and replace the Pipeline System in the Easement Area in accordance with
the following:
(a) Minimum Pipeline Degth. The Pipeline System shall be so located or
shall be buried at a sufficient depth so it will not interfere with farming activities
currently in practice and cultivation of the soil at the soil levels as they exist at
time of execution of this Easement and, in any event, the Pipeline shall be buried
at such depth as will allow a minimum coverage of forty-eight inches (48") for
current ranchland and a minimum coverage of sixty inches (60") for current
farmland. Any Pipeline Equipment that will be installed above plow depth on
cultivated lands shall only be installed at the locations identified on Exhibit C or,
if no locations are specified on Exhibit C, at such other locations that will not
interfere with farming activities and which are approved in writing by Grantor,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Ditching. Unless determined by an outside engineer to be impractical due
to the existence of rock or material elevation change, all ditching shall be in
accordance with the "double ditch" method whereby the top eighteen inches (18")
of soil (the "Top Soil") shall be removed from the Pipeline trench (the "Trench")
and stored in a pile that is segregated from all other material and debris, and the
remaining soil (the "Bottom Soil") shall be removed from the Trench and stored
in a pile that is segregated from the Top Soil. When the Trench is refilled after
the Pipeline has been laid and the Pipeline Equipment installed, the Bottom Soil
shall be placed in the trench first leaving room to fill the uppermost eighteen
inches (18") of the Trench to be filled with Top Soil. Top Soil shall be used to fill
the remainder of the Trench. Any Bottom Soil remaining after filling the Trench
shall (i) on cultivated lands, be removed from the Easement Area and disposed of
off of the property of Grantor, and (ii) on uncultivated lands, shall be spread over
the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area in a manner acceptable to
Grantor and that will not restrict or limit the re -growth of natural vegetation.
Rocks or other debris arising in connection with clearing the Easement Area and
ditching the Trench for the Pipeline System shall be removed as set forth in
Paragraph 4 (h) below. As stated above, single ditching shall be allowed in all
areas where "double ditching" is impractical (as determined by an outside
engineer) due to the existence of rock or material elevation change.
(c) Trench Leveling. Within uncultivated areas, upon completion of
construction of the Pipeline System, excess material may be mounded over the
Trench and covered with Top Soil; provided that the mound will be limited to a
maximum of one foot (1') in height and will be graded to allow natural drainage.
Within cultivated areas, upon completion of construction of the Pipeline System,
the Easement area shall be leveled to grade (or as otherwise agreed to by Grantor
in writing). in all instances the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area
shall be cleaned up in a professional manner.
(d) Maximum Open Segments. The construction, installation, maintenance
and repair of the Pipeline System shall be performed in segments so that there is
never more than one thousand feet (1000') of open Trench at any one time and no
open segment shall be open for more than seven (7) days; provided, however, that
excavations for pipeline appurtenances and tunnel/bore crossings may remain
open for up to thirty (30) days.
(e) Compaction. Grantee shall mechanically compact all fill material to
prevent any subsidence. To the extent there exists or hereafter arises any
subsidence or erosion arising in connection with the construction, installation,
maintenance or repair of the Pipeline System, Grantee shall refill with top soil, re -
compact and re -grade all affected areas and take any further action reasonably
required to return the surface to a substantially similar, or better, condition than
adjacent undisturbed areas and prevent future subsidence or erosion. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Grantee shall inspect the Pipeline at an interval of (i)
six months, (ii) twelve months, and (iii) eighteen months after initial Pipeline
System construction, and promptly refill and re -compact any subsidence or
erosion existing at such times in order to return the affected area to grade and to a
substantially similar, or better, condition than adjacent undisturbed areas and take
any further action reasonably required to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
The inspections periods set forth above are not intended to be a limitation on
Grantee's ongoing duty to fill, compact and maintain the grade of the land around
the Pipeline. Accordingly, in the event that Grantor at any time discovers any
subsidence or erosion after the installation of the Pipeline (whether before or after
expiration of the inspection periods provided for above), Grantor may provide
notice of such subsidence or erosion to Grantee. Within thirty (30) days' after
Grantee's receipt of such notice, Grantee shall commence and thereafter diligently
and without unreasonable delay refill with top soil, re -compact and re -grade all
affected areas and take any additional action as may be reasonably required to
return the affected area to grade and to a substantially similar, or better, condition
than adjacent undisturbed areas and to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
(f) Disc Plowing. If requested by Grantor, after completion of construction of
the Pipeline the top 6 to 12 inches of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement
Area through cultivated fields shall be disc plowed to loosen up soil for farming
operations.
(g) Gates. Grantee shall install gates at each existing fence to be crossed
within the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area in order to enable
Permitted Uses for the Pipeline System. Before a fence is cut by Grantee, Grantee
will set H-braces on the outside boundaries of the Temporary Easement and
Easement Area (e.g. 120 feet apart) then tie -off and cut the fence adjacent to each
H-brace. The Grantee shall then set temporary T-posts and string barbed wire
along the 120 foot opening and install a temporary barbed wire gate or gates, as
needed. At the time of construction through the affected area, the Grantee will
remove the temporary T-posts so as to permit construction activities. At night,
Grantee will 'install temporary fencing. Upon completion of the subject Pipeline
section, Grantee will install interior H-braces and a permanent 14 foot gate(s).
Grantee will then install permanent T-posts and barbed wire to connect the H-
braces. Fences, gates, gate posts and corners installed by Grantee shall meet the
specifications described in, and be installed as specified in, Exhibit D attached
hereto and made apart hereof and shall be installed with professional care and
according to standard 'industry practices. All gates installed by Grantee shall be
made of painted steel pipe. Except during construction as described above, all
fence gates on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and locked at all
times, unless Grantor in its sole discretion consents to temporary cattle guards or
other arrangements. All gates on the interior of Grantor's property shall be left as
found. All cattle guards on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and
locked at night unless otherwise requested by Grantor. After construction,
Grantee shall put a lock on all gates and Grantor may install its own lock on such
gates; provided, however, that at all times Grantor and Grantee shall have full and
complete access to the Easement Area.
(h) Debris Removal. Grantee covenants and agrees that at Grantee's sole cost
and expense any and all debris materials of any kind arising in connection with
the construction, installation, operation, inspection maintenance, replacement,
repair and removal of the Pipeline System, including trash, trees, timber, wood,
bushes, shrubs and brush, and other debris materials (collectively, "debris"), shall
be removed by Grantee from Grantor's property and disposed of properly so as to
make the surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed
areas. Further, all rocks and rubble arising in connection with the construction,
installation, operation, inspection, maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal
of the Pipeline System will be removed from Grantor's property so as to make the
surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee and Grantor by mutual agreement may
determine that (i) Grantee may shred or mulch trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs
and brush and scatter such debris over Grantor's property, (ii) Grantee may burn
trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs and brush, (iii) Grantee may store or scatter
rocks and rubble at locations designated by Grantor, or (iv) any other reasonable
method to dispose of trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs, brush, rocks and rubble.
If any trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs and brush are burned on site, the
Grantee 'shall maintain constant watch over burn piles with adequate firefighting
equipment on site. Grantee further agrees that neither Grantee nor its employees,
contractors, agents nor representatives will bum any trees, timber, wood, bushes,
shrubs or brush cleared from the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement Area
during burn bans designated by county officials.
(i) Temporary Crossings. During construction of the Pipeline System,
crossovers shall be installed by the Grantee over the Trench to provide access for
Grantor (and Grantor's personnel, equipment and livestock) over the Trench to
and from Grantor's adjacent property (i) over all existing paved or unpaved roads,
(ii) for livestock (at no less than 500 foot intervals), and (iii) at such other
locations as are reasonably designated by Grantor. Further, Grantee may, at
Grantee's option, construct temporary fencing near any open hole or trench.
0) Reseeding. If any of the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area
consists of grassland, Grantee shall, using the recommended procedure (either via
drill or broadcast), plant a native (e.g. native to the local area) seed mix of grass
and forbs selected by Grantor but subject to reasonable availability.
(k) Existing Terraces; Damage to Adjacent Property.
(i) Terraces. Existing terraces in the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area will be replaced upon the backfill of the trench
excavated in connection with the construction of the Pipeline System. In
the event that the breach of any existing terrace results in any damage to
Grantor's adjacent property or the breach of any down grade terraces
(whether or not within the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement
Area), Grantee shall repair any such damage and return the surface of
affected areas to a condition substantially similar to, or better than,
adjacent undisturbed areas.
(ii) Damage to Adjacent Property. In the event that the
activities of Grantee (or any of its agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors, suppliers or invitees and/or their equipment or vehicles)
within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area result in any
damage or erosion to Grantor's property located outside of the Easement
Area or Temporary Easement Area, Grantee shall repair any such damage
or erosion and return the surface of the affected areas to a condition
substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
(1) Diversions: Terraces: Stream Beds. Grantee shall install water diversions
and terraces where necessary or appropriate in order to divert water away from
excavated areas, to prevent erosion and to permit the natural flow of water that
existed prior to construction of the Pipeline. Further, where the Easement Area
crosses any wet or seasonal stream beds, all Permitted Uses shall be conducted in
a recognized manner to protect said stream beds and to prevent erosion
(m) Blastin . Prior to blasting within the Easement Area, Grantee will notify
Grantor. However, no blasting will be permitted within five hundred feet (500')
of any existing buildings, pipelines or wells; provided, however, that Grantor shall
provide written disclosure of the location of any such improvements that are
located underground before such blasting.
(n) Trail Road. The pipeline trail road shall not exceed twelve feet (12') in
width. The trail road shall be constructed, repaired and maintained in a manner
consistent with Grantee's needs and purposes; provided, however, such trail road
shall include culverts and water diversions where appropriate to prevent washouts
and erosion. Grantee shall level or fill all ruts and washouts and otherwise
maintain the trail road on a reasonable basis. Grantor shall have use of such road
within Grantor's property so long as Grantor's use does not unreasonably
interfere with Grantee's use of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area.
After completion of the construction of the Pipeline System and except in cases of
emergencies, in order to avoid ruts and washouts, Grantee and Grantor shall use
reasonable efforts to avoid the use of the trail road when wet.
(o) Necessary TempgM Use. Grantee shall have the right to use Grantor's
property located immediately adjacent to the Easement Area and Temporary
Easement Area for the following:
(i) On rangeland, detouring around natural impassable
impediments within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area such
as canyons, large boulders or large trees; or
(ii) the repair and removal of equipment or vehicles stranded
within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area, but only to the
extent is there not sufficient area within the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area to permit such repair and removal.
Except as provided in this Paragraph 4(o), Grantee (and its elected
officials, officers, agents, servants, employees, representatives, contractors,
independent contractors, subcontractors, or any employee or invitee of any of
them) shall not at any time go upon the property of Grantor outside of the
Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area. To the extent that any such
incursion upon the lands of Grantor adjacent to the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area results in any damage to such lands, Grantee shall be
liable for such damage and in any event covenants and agrees that the affected
areas shall be returned to the condition that is substantially similar to, or better
than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
(p) Staking of Easement. Prior to commencement of construction of the

it is evidenced by notice in writing, signed by the Grantee's official representative, and
filed of record in the county where the Easement Area is located. If Grantee should
abandon the Pipeline System as aforesaid, then this Easement and the rights herein
granted shall automatically terminate and revert to, and become property of, Grantor, its

time that the Pipeline System is abandoned by Grantee as provided in Paragraph 7 above.
9. Covenant to Maintain Pipeline. Grantee shall at all times during the
Easement Term, at Grantee's sole cost and expense, exercise due care and diligence in
the use of the rights and privileges herein granted and keep the Pipeline System in a safe
and properly maintained condition. Grantee shall promptly make all necessary or

easements and rights of way over, under, upon, across and within the Easement Area to
such persons as Grantor deems proper; (iii) construct and maintain improvements upon
the Easement Area; and (iv) construct and maintain irrigation systems (including drip and

and service Grantor's property (including the Easement Area), provided, however, (A) no
buildings- or reservoirs may be constructed upon the Easement Area, (B) improvements
(other than drip irrigation lines and overhead irrigation equipment) may not parallel the
Pipeline within the Easement Area, (C) all power lines, pipelines (other than drip
irrigation lines and overhead irrigation systems), and telephone and other
telecommunication lines must cross the Easement Area at no less than a 45' (forty-five
degree) angle, (D) underground power lines and any metallic pipelines (excluding
irrigation water lines and water distribution lines used to service Grantor's property) must
have a minimum separation of two feet (2') from the Pipeline and must meet industry
standards in order not to adversely affect or damage the Pipeline, and (E) fences
constructed by Grantor within the Easement Area must have gates installed so that
Grantee at all times has access over and across the Easement Area. In the event that
Grantor determines to construct (or grant the right to any third party to construct)
improvements within the Easement Area that are not addressed above, Grantor shall
provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Grantee during which time
Grantee may have the proposed improvements analyzed by its outside engineers. If
during such thirty (30) day period Grantee provides to Grantor a detailed analysis of why
the proposed improvements will adversely affect the Pipeline or Pipeline System, Grantor
shall not construct such improvements until such time as Grantor and Grantee's engineers
agree upon a methodology for the construction of such improvements that will not
adversely affect the Pipeline, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either
Grantor or Grantee. Grantee and Grantor will at all times use their good faith efforts to
accommodate the needs and activities of one another. Grantee covenants and agrees not
to interfere with Grantor's rights to cultivate, use and enjoy the lands for any purpose,
except as limited herein, provided that any such operation or use by Grantor, or Grantor's
heirs, successors or assigns, shall not unreasonably interfere with or endanger the
operations or integrity of the Pipeline System. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that if
the Easement Area is subject to one or more oil and gas leases in existence as of the
Effective Date of this Easement, or if Grantor does not own the minerals under the
Easement Area, Grantor does not have control over and is not responsible for, or liable
for, compliance (or non-compliance) with this Paragraph 11 by any oil and gas lessee or
mineral owner(s).
12. Compensation for Grant of Easement. As complete consideration for the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Grantor, contemporaneously with the
execution hereof by Grantor the Grantee agrees to pay to Grantor (i) the sum of Eighty -
Five Dollars ($85.00) per rod for a total of SIXTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY-THREE AND 70/100THS Dollars ($1 b,253.70) for the grant of the Easement and
the grant of the Temporary Easement, (ii) the sum of ($ �} for
damage to, or the replacement of, machinery and equipment (including irrigation systems
and equipment) and other personal property specified on Exhibit E, and (iii) the sum of
for damage to crops. In the event that as a result of the time of
year in which construction of the Pipeline will occur Grantor (or its lessee) will suffer
crop losses for two consecutive years, prior to commencement of construction (or, if
construction has already commenced, but was delayed or extended, prior to continuation
of construction) Grantee shall pay to Grantor an additional sum for crop losses in the
amount specified in item (iii) above. The foregoing consideration constitutes payment to
Grantor and Grantor's successors, assigns, or agricultural lessees or tenants, if any, for
the grant of the Easement and Temporary Easement and for damage to the specified
equipment, machinery and crops resulting from the initial construction and installation of
the Pipeline System.
The market value of any damaged crop shall be calculated using the following
formula: Affected Acres X Yield Per Acre X Unit Price for the affected crop = damages
to be paid, where (i) the amount of the affected acreage will be reasonably determined by
the Federal }arm Service Agency in the county where the premises is located, or if the
Federal Farm Service Agency fails or refuses to make such calculation, as reasonably
determined by Grantor, (ii) yield per acre will be the average of the previous three (3)
years' yields according to the Grantor's (or Grantor's lessee's) records for the affected
parcel, but if the Grantor (or Grantor's lessee) does not have yield records available, the
parties will use Federal Farm Service Agency records or other commonly used yield
information available for the area, and (iii) unit price will be based upon the average of
the last previous March Vt and September I" prices for the affected crop as set by the
Chicago Board of Trade, New York Cotton Exchange, Kansas City Board of Trade, or
other similar exchange, as appropriate for the affected crop. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Parties hereto agree that the unit price for damages to cotton crops shall be
$0.52 per pound.
13. Title. (a) Grantee acknowledges that at its sole cost and expense it has
researched the title to the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area and, where
it deemed it necessary, obtained abstracts or certificates of title or title insurance to such
property. Grantor represents that to the best of its knowledge set forth on Exhibit F is a
list of (i) all unrecorded agricultural leases and agreements which encumber the subject
property, (ii), all unrecorded mortgages or deeds of trust which encumber the subject
property, acid (iii) all unrecorded easements granted by Grantor which encumber the
subject property. Grantor will provide Grantee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
execution of this Agreement, with all documents identified and to be attached hereto as
Exhibit F. The grant of the Easement herein contained is subject to (A) all items
disclosed on Exhibit F, (B) all items that would be disclosed on an accurate commitment
for title insurance covering the subject property (which Grantor understands that Grantee
has received and reviewed), (C) above ground power lines, (D) public roads as reflected
on the official county (or state) road map(s), (E) all valid and subsisting encumbrances,
easements, agricultural leases, wind energy leases, and rights -of -way of record in the
county where the subject property is located and that affect the Easement Area and the
Temporary Easement Area as of the Effective Date, and (F) all minerals that have been
severed from the surface and all oil and gas and other mineral leases existing on the
Effective Date. It shall be the obligation of Grantee to procure and have recorded without
cost to Grantor all assurances of title and affidavits which Grantee determines are
necessary and proper to show in Grantor title sufficient to grant this Easement. The
expense of *ecording this Agreement shall be borne by Grantee. Grantor agrees to
cooperate and aid Grantee, at no expense to Grantor, to obtain any curative documents
needed to the extent such cure would not affect Grantor's title.
(b) If Grantee or Grantor determines that the easement intended to be
conveyed to Grantee and described herein, or any part thereof or undivided interest
therein, should be acquired by judicial procedure, either to procure good title or for any
other reason, then'Grantor and Grantee hereby stipulate that (i) an agreement, in the same
form as this Easement Agreement, shall govern the terms of any easement obtained by
judicial procedure, and (ii) the ultimate award to the Grantor for the easement obtained
by Grantee by judicial procedure, shall be the same as the consideration stated in
Paragraph 12, but should the Grantor own a lesser interest in the Easement Area or
Temporary Easement Area intended to be conveyed to Grantee and described herein,
such award shall not exceed that portion of the consideration stated in Para rah 12
which the value of such lesser interest of Grantee bears to the value of the entire
Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area described herein.

across the Land by means of roads and lanes thereon if existing, or otherwise by such
route or routes as Grantee may construct or improve from time to time for purposes of
access to the Transmission Easement and its ownership and operation thereof (the
"Ingress and Egress Easement") (the Transmission Easement and the Ingress and
Egress Easement are collectively referred to herein as the "Easement"). The phrase "in
gross" with respect to the Easement means that the Easement is an interest that is not tied

easement (the "Construction Easement") to install, construct and maintain the

immediately adjacent to the Transmission Easement and extending 50 feet from the
Transmission Easement and being effective only during periods of time when Grantee
installs, constructs and/or maintains the Transmission Facilities.
Section 1.2. Transmission Easement Purpose. The Transmission Easement

Land and land owned by Owner that is adjacent to the Land for any purpose whatsoever.
Section 1.4 Condemnation. Should title or possession of all of the Easement
be taken in condemnation proceedings by a government agency or governmental body
under the exercise of the right of eminent domain, or should a partial taking render the
remaining portion of the Easement unsuitable for Grantee's use, Grantee shall be entitled
to any award made for (a) the cost of removal and relocation of any Transmission
Facilities that Grantee has the right to remove, (b) the loss of or damage to any
Transmission Facilities that Grantee elects or is required not to remove, and (c) the loss

called the "Pipeline System"), for and/or related to the transportation of water through, under,
upon, over, across and within the Lands. Such perpetual exclusive Easement shall be 60 feet
wide, as described in Exhibit A as attached hereto. Further, a temporary construction Easement
is hereby granted adjacent to the perpetual exclusive Easement which shall be an additional 60
feet, as described in Exhibit A as attached hereto. The temporary Easement shall terminate upon
completion of all construction activities related to that portion of the Pipeline System that
requires said temporary Easement as described in Exhibit B as attached hereto. Exhibit A is
attached hereto and incorporated herein, and hereby made a part hereof by reference to describe
the Easement and the Lands.
This Easement is specifically made by Grantor and accepted by Grantee subject to the
following terms, covenants, obligations and conditions:
1. Grantee may use and occupy the Easement for the sole purpose of: (a) the
right to perform Permitted Uses related to the Pipeline System; (b) the right (for men,
material, and equipment) of ingress and egress and regress to and from and access on and
along said Easement granted herein, with the right to ingress and egress and regress to
and from and access on and along said Easement, for the Permitted Uses; and (c) the right
to locate the Pipeline System through, over, under, upon, across and within the Easement

2. Grantee covenants and agrees that its use of the Easement and its
operations conducted thereon shall, to the best of Grantee's ability, at all times comply
with all applicable local, state and federal laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards,
licensing, permitting and other legal requirements including, without limitation, all
environmental laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing and permitting (the
"Legal Requirements") and Grantor's rules and regulations as shown on Exhibit C
attached hereto, particularly, but not limited to, those regarding safety, cleanup and
distribution and removal of soil, rock and/or trees. Grantee agrees to construct the

Grantor's property, business and operations. Fences and gates installed by Grantee shall
meet the specifications described in, and be installed as specified in, Exhibit D attached
hereto and made a part hereof. Grantor and Grantee shall each conduct its activities in
such a manner as to not unduly interfere with or cause a disruption to the other's
business, operations and property or those of other third parties entering or crossing the
Easement. In the event it is discovered that Grantee is in violation of any portion of the
Legal Requirements, Grantee agrees to commence, upon receipt of written notice of such
violation, the process of curing such violation so that Grantee will be in compliance with
this subparagraph. Upon completion of any construction project that is part of the
Pipeline System and upon completion of any record survey, Grantee shall provide a copy
to Grantor of the record survey showing the location of the Easement and Pipeline
System and all other installed assets on the Grantor's lands.
3. If Grantee should abandon the Pipeline System, then this Easement and
the rights herein granted shall automatically terminate and revert to, and become property
of, Grantor, its successors and assigns. Grantee may abandon the Pipeline System solely
by a formal resolution of its governing body that authorizes the abandonment of the
Pipeline System and that further resolves that Lake Alan Henry is no longer necessary as
part of Grantees water supply. Any such abandonment will not be effective until it is
evidenced by notice in writing, signed by the Grantee's official representative, and filed
of record in the county where the Lands are located.
4. The Easement Term is hereby defined as the period of time beginning with
the granting of the Easement and continuing until such time that the Easement is
abandoned by Grantee.

and expense, keep the Pipeline System in a safe and properly maintained condition.
Grantee shall promptly make all necessary or appropriate repairs, replacements and
renewals of the Pipeline System, and keep and maintain the Pipeline System in good
order, condition, and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and in such condition as
may be required by applicable Legal Requirements. Grantee shall keep the Easement in

Pipeline System.

foregoing, and to the extent required, Grantee will secure and maintain any and all
environmental permits required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

environmental permit(s), if applicable, and notify Grantor of any proposed changes to
said permit(s).
7. Within the Easement, Grantee shall have the right to cut fences and install
gates to enable Permitted Uses for the Pipeline System. Before a fence is cut by Grantee,
it shall be properly supported on either side of the contemplated opening by suitable posts
and braces.
8. The Pipeline System shall be so located or shall be buried at a sufficient
depth so it does not interfere with current cultivation of the soil at the soil levels as they
exist at time of execution of this Easement. Following completion of construction, the
surface area shall be returned to its preconstruction condition as nearly as practicable. If
any of the property shall be grassland, Grantee shall apply grass seed with a native mix
from seed that is available and that is the same as existing native grass or comparable to
the native grass in the disturbed area.
9. This grant of Easement shall not preclude the right of Grantor to cultivate,
use, and enjoy the Lands for any purposes which will not constitute an interference with
the Easement, rights and privileges herein granted to Grantee, or endanger any of
Grantee's property. However, the right reserved by Grantor as to the perpetual Easement
shall not include the right to erect any buildings, reservoirs, structures, or other
improvements on the perpetual Easement without the advance written permission of
Grantee.
10. Grantor, his successors, assigns, or agricultural lessees or tenants, if any,
are to be compensated, as set out herein under Paragraph 16, for all damages to the lands
and personal property located thereon, including but not limited to fences, crops,
livestock, drainage and/or irrigation systems, as a result or related to the Grantee's use or
occupation of the lands pursuant to the rights granted by this Easement, including but not
limited to construction, future operation and maintenance of the Pipeline System.
Payment of these damages and for the value of this Easement by Grantee, subject to the
terms of this paragraph 19, will be in an amount agreed to by Grantor and Grantee and
shall be a one-time payment as set forth in paragraph 16, for any and all of such
damages, whether occurring or accruing at or after the time of construction of the
pipeline system.
11. Grantee shall exercise due care and diligence in the use of the rights and
privileges herein granted to it. In case of abandonment of said Easement as provided in
Basinger Pipeline Easement Agreement 3
No. 3, the title and interest herein granted shall end, cease, and terminate, and title to the
Easement, pipeline, equipment and facilities shall revert to the then owner of the Lands..
12. The grant of Easement herein contained is subject to all valid and
subsisting easements, leases including oil, gas and wind energy leases, and rights -of -way
of record affecting the Lands.
13. It is a condition precedent to the payment to the Grantor of the sum named
herein that the title to the Lands described herein shall be vested in the Grantor, subject
only to the interest of Grantee hereunder and to the matters set out in Paragraph No. 12
hereof and to such other defects, interests, or encumbrances as may be waived in writing
by Grantee. Grantor shall provide to Grantee an executed release from any lien holder,
tenant, lessee, or other party having an interest in the Easement prior to payment of the
compensation called for in Paragraph No. 16 hereof.
14. Grantor shall procure and have recorded without cost to Grantee all
assurances of title and affidavits which the Grantor may be advised by Grantee are
necessary and proper to show in Grantor title sufficient to grant the above easement free
and clear of encumbrances other than those encumbrances expressly defined herein.
Abstracts or certificates of title or title insurance may be procured by the Grantee at its
expense. The expense of recording this Easement shall be borne by Grantee. Grantor
agrees to cooperate and aid Grantee, if necessary, to obtain any curative documents
needed.
15. If Grantee, in its sole discretion, determines that the Easement conveyed to
Grantee and described herein should be acquired by judicial procedure, either to procure
a safe title or for any other reason, then Grantor and Grantee hereby stipulate that the
ultimate award to the Grantor for the Easement conveyed to Grantee and described
herein, shall be the same as the purchase price hereinafter stated in Paragraph No. 16, but
should the Grantor own a lesser interest than that Easement conveyed to Grantee and
described herein, such award shall not exceed that portion of the purchase price stated in
Paragraph No. 16 which the value of such lesser easement conveyed to Grantee bears to
the value of the entire Easement described herein.
16. As complete consideration for the above grant of easement and for all the
rights and privileges granted to the Grantee in this agreement, Grantee agrees to pay
Grantor the one time sum of and /100ths Dollars

Effective Date (the foregoing, together with any exceptions to title that are accepted or waived by Buyer in
accordance with Section 3.04 shall be referred to herein as the "Permitted Exceptions").
3.04 Seller's Obligation to Cure; Buyer's Right to Terminate. If Buyer notifies Seller of Objections to any of
the matters fumished to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.03, the Seller shall, within ten (10) calendar days after Seller is
provided notice, either to satisfy the Objections at Seller's sole cost and expense or promptly notify Buyer in writing
of the Objections that Seller cannot or will not satisfy at Seller's expense. if Seller is unwilling or unable to satisfy the
Objections within such ten (10) calendar day period, Buyer or Seller may at its option extend the cure period up to an
additional fifteen (15) days or Seller may inform Buyer that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure the Objections. If the
Objections remain unsatisfied, and if Buyer and Seller do not agree in writing to an extension of that period, then
Buyer has the option of either:
W waiving the unsatisfied Objections by, and only by, notice in writing to Seller within five (5) calendar days
after the expiration of the cure period, in which event those Objections shall become Permitted Exceptions;
or
(ii) terminating this Contract by notice in writing and receiving back the Independent Consideration, in which
latter event Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations, one to the other, with respect to the subject
matter of this Contract, except as provided in Section 3.06 below.
3.05 Title Policy. At Closing, Buyer, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, shall cause a standard Texas Owner
Policy of Title Insurance ("Title Policy°) to be furnished to Buyer. The Title Policy shall be issued by the Title
Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price and insuring that Buyer has an easement pursuant to the Easement
Agreement over and across the Easement Area, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the terms of the
Easement. The Title Policy may contain only the Permitted Exceptions and shall contain no other exceptions to title,
with the standard printed or commonly inserted exceptions amended or deleted, at the option of Buyer, as follows:
(i) if available based upon the Survey, the survey exception may be amended to read "shortages in area" only
(although Schedule C of the Title Commitment may condition amendment on the presentation of an
acceptable survey and payment, to be borne solely by Buyer, of any required additional premium);
(ii) no exception will be permitted for "visible and apparent easements" or words to that effect;
(iii) no exception will be permitted for "rights of parties in possession" (provided that any inspection fees or
expenses required by the Title Company to delete this exception shall be paid by Buyer);
(iv) no liens will be shown on Schedule B, unless the holder thereof has subordinated its lien rights to the
Easement.
Notwithstanding the enumeration of the following exceptions, amendments and/or deletions, Buyer may
object to any Exceptions it deems material, in its sole discretion.
3.06 Other Remedies. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Contract to the contrary, if Buyer determines
that the easement intended to be conveyed to Buyer and described herein and in the Easement Agreement, or any
part thereof or undivided interest therein, should be acquired by judicial procedure to procure good title, then Buyer
and Seller hereby stipulate that (i) an agreement, in the same form as the Easement Agreement, shall govern the
terms of any easement obtained by judicial procedure, and (ii) the ultimate award to the Seller for the easement
obtained by Buyer by judicial procedure, shall be the same as the consideration stated in Section 2.01 above and in
Paragraph 12 of the Easement Agreement, but should the Seller own a lesser interest in the Easement Area or
Temporary Easement Area intended to be conveyed to Buyer and described herein, such award shall not exceed
that portion of the consideration stated in Paragraph 12 of the Easement Agreement which the value of such lesser
interest of Seller bears to the value of the entire Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area described herein.
This Section 3.06 shall survive any termination of this Contract.

EASEMENT AGREEMENT
SEE ATTACHED
EASEMENT AGREEMENT
STATE OF TEXAS
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT:
COUNTY OF
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Easement Agreement (this
"A,gyreement'), E.B. Murphy, as his sole and separate property ("Grantor") whose address is
3200 Maxwell, Midland, TX 79705-4824 for and in consideration of the covenants contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration to it paid by The City of Lubbock, Texas (the
"Grantee") with offices at 1625 13`h Street, Lubbock, Texas 79401, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, hereby grants unto Grantee an easement (the "Easement"}
subject to the terms of this Agreement through, over, under, upon, across and within the sixty
foot (60') wide area described by metes and bounds on Exhibit A (the "Easement Area")
situated in Garza County, Texas:
The Easement shall be for the survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of (i) a single underground pipeline located
within the Easement Area for the transportation of fresh water (the "Pipeline" ), and (ii) the
following equipment and appurtenances related to the Pipeline and situated within the Easement
Area: conduits, drain (blow -oft) valves, valve boxes, meter boxes, vents (air valves), manholes,
manhole covers (with post around manholes), corrosion monitoring test stations, pipeline
markers, fence gates, impressed current deep well anode stations with power supplies, flow
meters, system communication lines (including, but not limited to, fiber optic lines), splice
boxes, and corrosion control equipment, corrosion monitoring equipment and other equipment
and facilities related thereto (collectively, the "Pipeline E ui ment ')(the Pipeline together with
the Pipeline Equipment shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Pipeline System").
Further, Grantor hereby grants unto Grantee a temporary construction easement (the "Temporary
Easement") for the construction and installation of the Pipeline System over an area sixty feet
(60') in width located adjacent to, and abutting, the Easement Area (the "Temporary Easement
Area") on the northeast side of the Easement Area as more specifically described on Exhibit A.
The Temporary Easement shall terminate and expire upon the earlier of (i) completion of all
construction activities related to that portion of the Pipeline System situated within the Easement
Area, or (ii) June 30, 2014 (the "Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date"). In the event that the
Pipeline System within the Easement Area has not been completed by the Anticipated Pipeline
Completion Date, Grantee shall have the option to extend the term of the Temporary Easement
for up to two consecutive periods of two (2) years each with the first extension to commence on
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date and the second extension to commence on the second
anniversary of the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date; provided, however, that the Temporary
Easement shall in any event terminate and expire upon the completion of the Pipeline System
within the Easement Area and thereafter be of no further force and effect.. In order to exercise
its right to extend the Temporary Easement as aforesaid, not later than thirty (30) days prior to
the Anticipated Pipeline Completion Date (or the second anniversary of such date if the
Temporary Easement has already been extended) Grantee shall deliver to Grantor written notice
that it intends to extend the Temporary Easement and pay to Grantor of the sum of $ ** 10%
of the amount in paragraph 12(i) below** for each requested two (2) year extension.
Upon request of Grantor, after completion of that portion of the Pipeline System situated within
the Easement Area, or the termination and expiration of the Temporary Easement, Grantee shall
execute and deliver to Grantor a release of the Temporary Easement in a form acceptable for
filing.
The Easement and Temporary Easement are specifically made by Grantor and accepted
by Grantee subject to the following terms, covenants, obligations and conditions:
1. Permitted Uses. Grantee may use and occupy (a) the Easement Area for
the sole purpose of: (i) survey, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal of the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment;
(ii) the construction, installation, maintenance and repair of a pipeline trail road within
non -cultivated areas of the Easement Area, and (iii) ingress, egress and regress for
people, material, and equipment along, over and across the Easement Area to accomplish
the purposes stated in paragraph 1(a)(1) provided that after completion of construction of
the Pipeline System situated within the Easement Area, and except in cases of emergency
or repair, on cultivated land ingress, egress and regress shall be permitted in, but limited
to, the use of then -existing turn rows, and (b) the Temporary Easement Area (during the
term thereof) for the sole purpose of (i) survey, construction and installation of the
Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment; (ii) ingress, egress and regress for people, material, and
equipment along, over and across the Temporary Easement Area to accomplish the
foregoing, and (c) during the term of the Temporary Easement, the Easement Area and
the Temporary Easement Area may be used for the temporary storage of materials and
equipment (including pipe for the Pipeline and Pipeline Equipment) (collectively, the
"Permitted Uses"). Grantee shall use the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement
Area (for the term thereof) for the Permitted Uses, and activities reasonably related
thereto, and for no other purposes or uses.
2. Legal Requirements, No Interference. Grantee covenants and agrees that
its use of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area, and its operations
conducted thereon, shall at all times comply with this Agreement and all material
applicable local, state and federal laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing,
permitting and other legal requirements including, without limitation, all material
environmental laws, orders, rules, regulations, standards, licensing and permitting (the
"Legal Requirements") and the safety guidelines shown on Exhibit S attached hereto
and made a part hereof. Further, Grantor and Grantee shall each conduct their activities
in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with, or cause disruption to, the other's
business, operations and property or those of a third party entering or crossing the
easement.
3. Due Care. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct the Pipeline System,
and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in a prudent manner and with due
professional care for Grantor's property, business and operations, and according to
standard industry practices.
4. Construction Specifications. Grantee covenants and agrees to construct,
maintain, repair and replace the Pipeline System in the Easement Area in accordance with
the following:
(a) Minimum Pipeline Depth. The Pipeline System shall be so located or
shall be buried at a sufficient depth so it will not interfere with farming activities
currently in practice and cultivation of the soil at the soil levels as they exist at
time of execution of this Easement and, in any event, the Pipeline shall be buried
at such depth as will allow a minimum coverage of forty-eight inches (48") for
current ranchland and a minimum coverage of sixty inches (60") for current
farmland. Any Pipeline Equipment that will be installed above plow depth on
cultivated lands shall only be installed at the locations identified on Exhibit C or,
if no locations are specified on Exhibit C, at such other locations that will not
interfere with farming activities and which are approved in writing by Grantor,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Ditching. Unless determined by an outside engineer to be impractical due
to the existence of rock or material elevation change, all ditching shall be in
accordance with the "double ditch" method whereby the top eighteen inches (18")
of soil (the "Top Soil") shall be removed from the Pipeline trench (the "Trench")
and stored in a pile that is segregated from all other material and debris, and the
remaining soil (the "Bottom Soil") shall be removed from the Trench and stored
in a pile that is segregated from the Top Soil. When the Trench is refilled after
the Pipeline has been laid and the Pipeline Equipment installed, the Bottom Soil
shall be placed in the trench first leaving room to fill the uppermost eighteen
inches (18") of the Trench to be filled with Top Soil. Top Soil shall be used to fill
the remainder of the Trench. Any Bottom Soil remaining after filling the Trench
shall (i) on cultivated lands, be removed from the Easement Area and disposed of
off of the property of Grantor, and (ii) on uncultivated lands, shall be spread over
the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area in a manner acceptable to
Grantor and that will not restrict or limit the re -growth of natural vegetation.
Rocks or other debris arising in connection with clearing the Easement Area and
ditching the Trench for the Pipeline System shall be removed as set forth in
Paragraph 4 (h) below. As stated above, single ditching shall be allowed in all
areas where "double ditching" is impractical (as determined by an outside
engineer) due to the existence of rock or material elevation change.
(c) Trench Leveling. Within uncultivated areas, upon completion of
construction of the Pipeline System, excess material may be mounded over the
Trench and covered with Top Soil; provided that the mound will be limited to a
maximum of one foot (1') in height and will be graded to allow natural drainage.
Within cultivated areas, upon completion of construction of the Pipeline System,
the Easement area shall be leveled to grade (or as otherwise agreed to by Grantor
in writing). In all instances the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area
shall be cleaned up in a professional manner.
(d) Maximum Open Segments. The construction, installation, maintenance
and repair of the Pipeline System shall be performed in segments so that there is
never more than one thousand feet (1000') of open Trench at any one time and no
open segment shall be open for more than seven (7) days; provided, however, that
excavations for pipeline appurtenances and tunnel/bore crossings may remain
open for up to thirty (30) days.
(e) Compaction. Grantee shall mechanically compact all fill material to
prevent any subsidence. To the extent there exists or hereafter arises any
subsidence or erosion arising in connection with the construction, installation,
maintenance or repair of the Pipeline System, Grantee shall refill with top soil, re -
compact and re -grade all affected areas and take any further action reasonably
required to return the surface to a substantially similar, or better, condition than
adjacent undisturbed areas and prevent future subsidence or erosion. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Grantee shall inspect the Pipeline at an interval of (i)
six months, (ii) twelve months, and (iii) eighteen months after initial Pipeline
System construction, and promptly refill and re -compact any subsidence or
erosion existing at such times in order to return the affected area to grade and to a
substantially similar, or better, condition than adjacent undisturbed areas and take
any further action reasonably required to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
The inspections periods set forth above are not intended to be a limitation on
Grantee's ongoing duty to fill, compact and maintain the grade of the land around
the Pipeline. Accordingly, in the event that Grantor at any time discovers any
subsidence or erosion after the installation of the Pipeline (whether before or after
expiration of the inspection periods provided for above), Grantor may provide
notice of such subsidence or erosion to Grantee. Within thirty (30) days' after
Grantee's receipt of such notice, Grantee shall commence and thereafter diligently
and without unreasonable delay refill with top soil, re -compact and re -grade all
affected areas and take any additional action as may be reasonably required to
return the affected area to grade and to a substantially similar, or better, condition
than adjacent undisturbed areas and to prevent future subsidence or erosion.
(f) Disc Plowing. If requested by Grantor, after completion of construction of
the Pipeline the top 6 to 12 inches of the Easement Area and Temporary Easement
Area through cultivated fields shall be disc plowed to loosen up soil for farming
operations.
(g) Gates. Grantee shall install gates at each existing fence to be crossed
within the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area in order to enable
Permitted Uses for the Pipeline System. Before a fence is cut by Grantee, Grantee
will set H-braces on the outside boundaries of the Temporary Easement and
Easement Area (e.g. 120 feet apart) then tie -off and cut the fence adjacent to each
H-brace. The Grantee shall then set temporary T-posts and string barbed wire
along the 120 foot opening and install a temporary barbed wire gate or gates, as
needed. At the time of construction through the affected area, the Grantee will
remove the temporary T-posts so as to permit construction activities. At night,
Grantee will install temporary fencing. Upon completion of the subject Pipeline
section, Grantee will install interior H-braces and a permanent 14 foot gate(s).
Grantee will then install permanent T-posts and barbed wire to connect the H-
braces. Fences, gates, gate posts and corners installed by Grantee shall meet the
specifications described in, and be installed as specified in, Exhibit D attached
hereto and made apart hereof and shall be installed with professional care and
according to standard industry practices. All gates installed by Grantee shall be
made of painted steel pipe. Except during construction as described above, all
fence gates on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and locked at all
times, unless Grantor in its sole discretion consents to temporary cattle guards or
other arrangements. All gates on the interior of Grantor's property shall be left as
found. All cattle guards on the exterior of Grantor's property shall be closed and
locked at night unless otherwise requested by Grantor. After construction,
Grantee shall put a lock on all gates and Grantor may install its own lock on such
gates; provided, however, that at all times Grantor and Grantee shall have full and
complete access to the Easement Area.
(h) Debris Removal. Grantee covenants and agrees that at Grantee's sole cost
and expense any and all debris materials of any kind arising in connection with
the construction, installation, operation, inspection maintenance, replacement,
repair and removal of the Pipeline System, including trash, trees, timber, wood,
bushes, shrubs and brush, and other debris materials (collectively, "debris"), shall
be removed by Grantee from Grantor's property and disposed of properly so as to
make the surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed
areas. Further, all rocks and rubble arising in connection with the construction,
installation, operation, inspection, maintenance, replacement, repair, and removal
of the Pipeline System will be removed from Grantor's property so as to make the
surface substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee and Grantor by mutual agreement may
determine that (i) Grantee may shred or mulch trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs
and brush and scatter such debris over Grantor's property, (ii) Grantee may burn
trees; timber, wood, bushes, shrubs and brush, (iii) Grantee may store or scatter
rocks and rubble at locations designated by Grantor, or (iv) any other reasonable
method to dispose of trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs, brush, rocks and rubble.
If any trees, timber, wood, bushes, shrubs and brush are burned on site, the
Grantee shall maintain constant watch over burn piles with adequate firefighting
equipment on site. Grantee further agrees that neither Grantee nor its employees,
contractors, agents nor representatives will burn any trees, timber, wood, bushes,
shrubs or brush cleared from the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement Area
during burn bans designated by county officials.
W Temporary Crossings. During construction of the Pipeline System,
crossovers shall be installed by the Grantee over the Trench to provide access for
Grantor (and Grantor's personnel, equipment and livestock) over the Trench to
and from Grantor's adjacent property (i) over all existing paved or unpaved roads,
(ii) for livestock (at no less than 500 foot intervals), and (iii) at such other
locations as are reasonably designated by Grantor. Further, Grantee may, at
Grantee's option, construct temporary fencing near any open hole or trench.
0) Reseeding. If any of the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area
consists of grassland, Grantee shall, using the recommended procedure (either via
drill or broadcast), plant a native (e.g. native to the local area) seed mix of grass
and forbs selected by Grantor but subject to reasonable availability.
W Existing Terraces, Damage to Adiacent Proberiy.
(i) Terraces. Existing terraces in the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area will be replaced upon the backfill of the trench
excavated in connection with the construction of the Pipeline System. In
the event that the breach of any existing terrace results in any damage to
Grantor's adjacent property or the breach of any down grade terraces
(whether or not within the Easement Area or the Temporary Easement
Area), Grantee shall repair any such damage and return the surface of
affected areas to a condition substantially similar to, or better than,
adjacent undisturbed areas.
(ii) Damage to Adjacent Property. In the event that the
activities of Grantee (or any of its agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors, suppliers or invitees and/or their equipment or vehicles)
within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area result in any
damage or erosion to Grantor's property located outside of the Easement
Area or Temporary Easement Area, Grantee shall repair any such damage
or erosion and return the surface of the affected areas to a condition
substantially similar to, or better than, adjacent undisturbed areas.
(1) Diversions,• Terraces; Stream Beds. Grantee shall install water diversions
and terraces where necessary or appropriate in order to divert water away from
excavated areas, to prevent erosion and to permit the natural flow of water that
existed prior to construction of the Pipeline. Further, where the Easement Area
crosses any wet or seasonal stream beds, all Permitted Uses shall be conducted in
a recognized manner to protect said stream beds and to prevent erosion
(m) Bla- sting. Prior to blasting within the Easement Area, Grantee will notify
Grantor. However, no blasting will be permitted within five hundred feet (500')
of any existing buildings, pipelines or wells; provided, however, that Grantor shall
provide written disclosure of the location of any such improvements that are
located underground before such blasting.
(n) Trail Road. The pipeline trail road shall not exceed twelve feet (12') in
width. The trail road shall be constructed, repaired and maintained in a manner
consistent with Grantee's needs and purposes; provided, however, such trail road
shall include culverts and water diversions where appropriate to prevent washouts
and erosion. Grantee shall level or fill all ruts and washouts and otherwise
maintain the trail road on a reasonable basis. Grantor shall have use of such road
within Grantor's property so long as Grantor's use does not unreasonably
interfere with Grantee's use of. the Easement Area and Temporary Easement Area.
After completion of the construction of the Pipeline System and except in cases of
emergencies, in order to avoid ruts and washouts, Grantee and Grantor shall use
reasonable efforts to avoid the use of the trail road when wet.
(o) Necessary Temporary Use. Grantee shall have the right to use Grantor's
property located immediately adjacent to the Easement Area and Temporary
Easement Area for the following:
W On rangeland, detouring around natural impassable
impediments within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area such
as canyons, large boulders or large trees; or
(ii) the repair and removal of equipment or vehicles stranded
within the Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area, but only to the
extent is there not sufficient area within the Easement Area and
Temporary Easement Area to permit such repair and removal.
Except as provided in this Paragraph 4(o), Grantee (and its elected
officials, officers, agents, servants, employees, representatives, contractors,
independent contractors, subcontractors, or any employee or invitee of any of
them) shall not at any time go upon the property of Grantor outside of the

Temporary Easement Area. At its option Grantee may grub the entire Temporary
Easement Area. All debris arising as a result of grubbing activities will be
disposed of in accordance with ParagrWh 4W above. Grantor acknowledges that
Grantee is not liable for any re -growth of vegetation after any tree grubbing
identified in this Paragraph 4 (q) or after any double ditching as identified in
Paragraph 4 (b) and that re -growth of vegetation will occur over time.

it is evidenced by notice in writing, signed by the Grantee's official representative, and
filed of record in the county where the Easement Area is located. If Grantee should
abandon the Pipeline System as aforesaid, then this Easement and the rights herein
granted shall automatically terminate and revert to, and become property of, Grantor, its
successors and assigns, and title to the Pipeline System located within the Easement Area

time that the Pipeline System is abandoned by Grantee as provided in Parag oh 7 above.
9. Covenant to Maintain Pipeline. Grantee shall at all times during the
Easement Term, at Grantee's sole cost and expense, exercise due care and diligence in
the use of the rights and privileges herein granted and keep the Pipeline System in a safe
and properly maintained condition. Grantee shall promptly make all necessary or

debris following any work related to Permitted Uses on the Pipeline System.
10. Permits. Grantee shall be responsible for obtaining all permits necessary

easements and rights of way over, under, upon, across and within the Easement Area to
such persons as Grantor deems proper; (iii) construct and maintain improvements upon

degree) angle, (D) underground power lines and any metallic pipelines (excluding
irrigation water lines and water distribution lines used to service Grantor's property) must
have a minimum separation of two feet (2') from the Pipeline and must meet industry
standards in order not to adversely affect or damage the Pipeline, and (E) fences
constructed by Grantor within the Easement Area must have gates installed so that
Grantee at all times has access over and across the Easement Area. In the event that
Grantor determines to construct (or grant the right to any third party to construct)
improvements within the Easement Area that are not addressed above, Grantor shall
provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Grantee during which time
Grantee may have the proposed improvements analyzed by its outside engineers. If
during such thirty (30) day period Grantee provides to Grantor a detailed analysis of why
the proposed improvements will adversely affect the Pipeline or Pipeline System, Grantor
shall not construct such improvements until such time as Grantor and Grantee's engineers
agree upon a methodology for the construction of such improvements that will not
adversely affect the Pipeline, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either
Grantor or Grantee. Grantee and Grantor will at all times use their good faith efforts to
accommodate the needs and activities of one another. Grantee covenants and agrees not
to interfere with Grantor's rights to cultivate, use and enjoy the lands for any purpose,
except as limited herein, provided that any such operation or use by Grantor, or Grantor's
heirs, successors or assigns, shall not unreasonably interfere with or endanger the
operations or integrity of the Pipeline System. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that if
the Easement Area is subject to one or more oil and gas leases in existence as of the
Effective Date of this Easement, or if Grantor does not own the minerals under the
Easement Area, Grantor does not have control over and is not responsible for, or liable
for, compliance (or non-compliance) with this Paragraph 11 by any oil and gas lessee or
mineral owner(s).
12. Compensation for Grant of Easement. As complete consideration for the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Grantor, contemporaneously with the
execution hereof by Grantor the Grantee agrees to pay to Grantor (i) the sum of Eighty -
Five Dollars ($85.00) per rod for a total of Four Thousand Fifty -Three and 65I100ths
Dollars ($4,053.65) for the grant of the Easement and the grant of the Temporary
Easement, (ii) the sum of ($ ) for damage to, or the
replacement of, machinery and equipment (including irrigation systems and equipment)
and other personal property specified on Exhibit E. and (iii) the sum of
($� for damage to crops. in the event that as a result of the time of year in which
construction of the Pipeline will occur Grantor (or its lessee) will suffer crop losses for
two consecutive years, prior to commencement of construction (or, if construction has
already commenced, but was delayed or extended, prior to continuation of construction)
Grantee shall pay to Grantor an additional sum for crop losses in the amount specified in
item (iii) above. The foregoing consideration constitutes payment to Grantor and
Grantor's successors, assigns, or agricultural lessees or tenants, if any, for the grant of the
Easement and Temporary Easement and for damage to the specified equipment,
machinery and crops resulting from the initial construction and installation of the Pipeline
System.
The market value of any damaged crop shall be calculated using the following
formula: Affected Acres X Yield Per Acre X Unit Price for the affected crop = damages
to be paid, where (i) the amount of the affected acreage will be reasonably determined by
the Federal Farm Service Agency in the county where the premises is located, or if the
Federal Farm Service Agency fails or refuses to make such calculation, as reasonably
determined by Grantor, (ii) yield per acre will be the average of the previous three (3)
years' yields according to the Grantor's (or Grantor's lessee's) records for the affected
parcel, but if the Grantor (or Grantor's lessee) does not have yield records available, the
parties will use Federal Farm Service Agency records or other commonly used yield
information available for the area, and (iii) unit price will be based upon the average of
the last previous March Vt and September 1" prices for the affected crop as set by the
Chicago Board of Trade, New York Cotton Exchange, Kansas City Board of Trade, or
other similar exchange, as appropriate for the affected crop. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Parties hereto agree that the unit price for damages to cotton crops shall be
$0.52 per pound.
13. Title. (a) Grantee acknowledges that at its sole cost and expense it has
researched the title to the Easement Area and the Temporary Easement Area and, where
it deemed it necessary, obtained abstracts or certificates of title or title insurance to such
property. Grantor represents that to the best of its knowledge set forth on Exhibit F is a
list of (i) all unrecorded agricultural leases and agreements which encumber the subject
property, (ii) all unrecorded mortgages or deeds of trust which encumber the subject
property, and (iii) all unrecorded easements granted by Grantor which encumber the
subject property. Grantor will provide Grantee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
execution of this Agreement, with all documents identified and to be attached hereto as
Exhibit F. The grant of the Easement herein contained is subject to (A) all items
disclosed on Exhibit F, (B) all items that would be disclosed on an accurate commitment
for title insurance covering the subject property (which Grantor understands that Grantee
has received and reviewed), (C) above ground power lines, (D) public roads as reflected
on the official county (or state) road map(s), (E) all valid and subsisting encumbrances,
easements, agricultural leases, wind energy leases, and rights -of -way of record in the
county where the subject property is located and that affect the Easement Area and the
Temporary Easement Area as of the Effective Date, and (F) all minerals that have been
severed from the surface and all oil and gas and other mineral leases existing on the
Effective Date. It shall be the obligation of Grantee to procure and have recorded without
cost to Grantor all assurances of title and affidavits which Grantee determines are
necessary and proper to show in Grantor title sufficient to grant this Easement. The
expense of recording this Agreement shall be borne by Grantee. Grantor agrees to
cooperate and aid Grantee, at no expense to Grantor, to obtain any curative documents
needed to the extent such cure would not affect Grantor's title.
(b) If Grantee or Grantor determines that the easement intended to be
conveyed to Grantee and described herein, or any part thereof or undivided interest
therein, should be acquired by judicial procedure, either to procure good title or for any
other reason, then Grantor and Grantee hereby stipulate that (i) an agreement, in the same
form as this Easement Agreement, shall govern the terms of any easement obtained by
judicial procedure, and (ii) the ultimate award to the Grantor for the easement obtained
by Grantee by judicial procedure, shall be the same as the consideration stated in
Paragraph 12, but should the Grantor own a lesser interest in the Easement Area or
Temporary Easement Area intended to be conveyed to Grantee and described herein,
such award shall not exceed that portion of the consideration stated in Paragra h_ 12
which the value of such lesser interest of Grantee bears to the value of the entire
Easement Area or Temporary Easement Area described herein.
14. Recreation; Firearms; Hunting; Fishing; Dogs, Artifacts. At no time shall
Grantee or any of its elected officials, officers, agents, servants, employees,
