COUNTY OF LUBBOCK
First Financial Trust & Asset Management Company, Successor Trustee of the Nancy F.
Prentiss Revocable Trust, dated July 6, 1999 with a street address of 3015 Stratford Avenue,
Lincoln, NE 68502 (hereinafter referred to as the "Grantor" whether one or more) for a valuable
consideration, to it paid by The City of Lubbock, Texas (the "Grantee") with offices at 1625 13`i'
Street, Lubbock, Texas 79401, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
has granted and does by these presents grant unto Grantee the following described perpetual
exclusive easement, servitude and right-of-way, as described herein (hereinafter called the
"Easement") through, over, under, upon, across and within the following described lands,
described in Exhibit A (hereinafter called the "Lands") situated in Lubbock County, Texas:
Pipelines and Equipment
Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a perpetual exclusive Easement to survey, construct,
reconstruct, install, upgrade, operate, inspect, maintain, alter, relocate, replace, repair, and
remove (hereinafter called "Permitted Uses") pipelines, conduits, drain (blow -of) valves, valve
boxes, meters, meter boxes, vents, manholes, manhole covers, corrosion monitoring test stations,
pipeline markers, fence gates, impressed current deep well anode stations with power supplies,
flow meters, system communication lines and splice boxes, pipeline trail road on non cultivated
areas, and equipment and facilities related thereto, or any part thereof (hereinafter collectively
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
for the purpose of potable water transportation. Grantee shall use the Easement for the
Prentiss -- Pipeline Easement Agreement
Permitted Uses and Pipeline System and for no other purposes or uses. Grantee's ingress,
egress and regress is limited to the easement granted herein, save and except that, after
completion of construction, and except in cases of emergency, maintenance and repair,
vehicle ingress, egress and regress, shall be permitted in the use of then -existing
roadways and turn rows Grantor has on the Land.
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
Pipeline System, in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and with due care for
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.
5. Grantee shall at all times during the Easement Term, at Grantee's sole cost
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
Prentiss -- Pipeline Easement Agreement 2
may be required by applicable Legal Requirements. Grantee shall keep the Easement in
good order, condition and repair following any work related to Permitted Uses on the
Pipeline System.
6. Grantee shall be responsible for obtaining all permits necessary to
construct and operate the Pipeline System on the Easement. 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 Enviromnental Quality
covering the Easement. Grantee will provide Grantor with a copy of Grantee's
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. 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 System 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 and
disposed of off of the property of Grantor, and (ii) on uncultivated lands, shall be spread
over the Easement in a manner acceptable to Grantor and that will not restrict or limit the
re -growth of natural vegetation. 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.
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
Prentiss -- Pipeline Easement Agreement 3
improvements on the perpetual Easement without the advance written permission of
Grantee.
10. 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
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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Grantor shall procure and have recorded without cost to Grantor 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.
14. 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. 15 which the value of such lesser easement conveyed to Grantee bears to
the value of the entire Easement described herein.
15. 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 One Thousand and Fifty and 62/100ths Dollars ($1,050.62).
Prentiss -- Pipeline Easement Agreement 4
16. "Grantee" when used in this instrument, shall include The City of
Lubbock's officers, agents, servants, employees, representatives, contractors,
independent contractors, subcontractors, and/or their equipment or vehicles.
17. Words of any gender used in this agreement shall be held and construed to
include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the
plural, and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise.
18. A. To the extent permitted by law, Grantee hereby assumes all liability
for, and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Grantor harmless from all claims,
demands, fines, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs), that may be suffered or incurred by Grantor,
on account of injuries to or death of any persons, or damage to or destruction of any
property, occurring on the Easement after the effective date of this agreement to the
extent caused by Grantee's or its employees, contractors, or agents negligence or willful
misconduct.
B. When any losses, claims, demands, or causes of action of the types
described in Section A of this paragraph are the result of joint or concurrent negligence or
willful misconduct of Grantee or their respective employees, contractors or agents, each
party's duty of indemnification will be in proportion to its allocable share of such joint
liability to the extent permitted by law, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
C. A dispute related to claims for damages accruing under the terms
hereof shall not be cause for the termination of the easement and/or any rights granted
hereunder, and Grantor shall be solely limited to the remedy of actual money damages for
such claims, subject to those limitations contained in paragraph 26 hereunder.
19. Grantee agrees to the extent permitted by law to release, indemnify,
defend, and hold Grantor harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs
(including legal costs), expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature arising from
pollution or contamination emanating from the Pipeline System and equipment of
Grantee arising from or relating to the performance of this agreement (the "Grantee
pollution liabilities"). For the avoidance of doubt, "Grantee pollution liabilities" shall
exclude any such pollution liabilities arising from any condition existing before the
effective date of the Easement. Grantor agrees to release, indemnify, defend, and hold
Grantee harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including legal
costs), expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature arising from (I) pollution emanating
from the property and equipment of Grantor, (II) any condition existing before the
effective date of the Easement, (III) pollution or contamination migrating or having
migrated on, under, or to the Easement from any other location, and (IV) the possession,
occupation or use of the remaining portions of the Grantor's adjacent property.
