TO HAVE AND TO HOLD said right of way unto Grantee, its successors and assigns, for so long as said right of way is used for the purposes stated above. Grantee agrees that if Grantee should abandon or cease to use the right of way and pipeline for the purposes herein granted for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months or longer, the rights herein granted shall terminate and shall revert to Grantor, its successors or assigns without the necessity of Grantee executing a conveyance or release of same; and Grantee, at its sole expense, shall within six (6) months following such abandonment, remove the abandoned pipe and restore the land to its original condition; provided, however, that in such event that Grantee fails to remove the pipeline and restore said land within the time provided, Grantor may, in its sole discretion and at Grantee's sole expense, remove the pipeline and restore the land. Right of Way Grant, Page 1 It is distinctly understood and agreed that this grant of a right of way does not constitute a conveyance of any part of the land above-described nor of the minerals therein and thereunder, but grants only the right of way as above provided. The right of way herein granted is without any warranty of title, expressed or implied. Grantor retains for itself, its successors and assigns the right to use the right of way for any purpose and in any manner, including the right to construct or permit others to construct other pipelines alongside of and adjacent to Grantee's pipeline, the right to cross or to permit others to cross under or over Grantee's pipeline with pipelines, roads, streets, water lines, sewer lines and other utilities or facilities so long as (i) such use does not create an unsafe condition, (ii) such use does not unreasonably interfere with the rights of Grantee hereunder, (iii) Grantee is notified prior to any construction affecting the right of way, and (iv) any facilities constructed are constructed in accordance with all applicable safety standards. Grantee's pipeline shall be designed, constructed, tested, operated and maintained in accordance with applicable safety rules and regulations published by federal and/or state regulatory agencies having jurisdiction. If no such government safety rules apply, then applicable industry standards and practices shall be complied with. Upon request from Grantor, its successors or assigns, Grantee will provide written certification that the pipeline was so designed, constructed and tested and is being so maintained and operated. Grantee agrees to bury said pipeline constructed hereunder to a depth of at least thirty-six (36) inches below the surface of the ground at the time of construction. Grantee further agrees to pay for any damage to Grantor's real and/or personal property that may result from the Grantee's exercise of any of the rights and privileges hereby granted. Grantee agrees to give Grantor forty-eight (48) hours' notice prior to entry upon Grantor's property for any purpose. In the event of an emergency, Grantee shall notify Grantor as soon as reasonably practicable of Grantee's need to enter Grantor's property. Grantee agrees that, after commencing construction, it will pursue the work diligently to effect prompt completion of the pipeline and following the construction or repair of its pipeline, it will restore the surface of the land affected thereby, as nearly as is practicable to the condition in which it existed prior to such construction or repair. Grantee shall not transport in the pipeline covered by this right of way any product, material or substance, unless it can be safely transported in the pipeline as designed, constructed, tested and maintained; and its use for such purpose violates no state, local or federal laws or regulations governing the design, construction, testing and operation of pipelines for the transportation of such product, material or substance.

WHERE PERSONAL INJURY DEATH, OR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY IS THE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY BOTH GRANTOR AND GRANTEE, THE GRANTEE'S DUTY OF INDEMNIFICATION SHALL BE IN PROPORTION TO ITS ALLOCABLE SHARE OF FAULT. In the event of release of contamination on Grantor's land from Grantee's pipeline or from equipment used by or for the benefit of Grantee, regardless of the cause of circumstances of such release, Grantee shall immediately notify Grantor of such release. Grantee agrees to remove such contamination and to restore the surface of the land to the condition in which it existed prior to such release. The rights granted herein shall not be assigned by Grantee without the prior written consent of Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
