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 firming 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 (3 0) 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 b 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 comers 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.

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 Pronerty. (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) Div®,rsions, 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.

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 EIGHT THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY-ONE AND 30/100THS Dollars ($8,141.30) for the grant of the Easement and the grant of the Temporary Easement, (ii) the sum of ($ _ ) 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 f S-L .T3 ($ ZiT4 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 I" and September I't 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.
