the transportation of petroleum products under (but not on or over) lands which the undersigned
owns or in which the undersigned has an interest, situated in the County of Harris, State of Texas
(the "Property "), more particularly described in Exhibit "A," which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein for all intents and purposes.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD unto Grantee, its successors and assigns, with ingress to and

which shall run with the land:
a. Grantee agrees that its right of ingress and egress is limited to the right -of -way and to the
existing public roadways intersecting said right -of -way and that for purposes of initial
construction Grantee may use during construction of said Pipeline a temporary work
space, being thirty feet (30') in width, located adjacent to and parallel with the above -
described easement which right of utilization shall immediately terminate, ipso facto,
upon the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of laying of the Pipeline; or (ii) December
31, 2002, provided that the land is not occupied by substantial improvements, as
determined by Grantor. After completion of the initial construction, for purposes of
maintenance or repair of the Pipeline, Grantee may, with the prior written consent of the
Grantor, use as working space such parts of Grantor's land adjacent to said right-of-way
as is reasonably necessary to effect such maintenance or repair; provided that the land is
not occupied by substantial improvements as determined by Grantor.
Pipeline Easement, Page 1 EMIT A
b. 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 the
Pipeline, it will restore the surface of the land traversed by the Pipeline and all other land
affected in any way by the construction of the Pipeline to as nearly as practicable the
condition in which it existed prior to such construction or repair.
C. No right herein granted may be assigned in whole or in part without the prior written
consent of Grantor. Any proposed assignment made without the prior written consent of
Grantor is void.
d. Grantor hereby retains and reserves for itself and its successors and assigns the right to
use the right -of -way for any purpose and in any manner, including, but not limited to, the
right to construct or permit others to construct other pipelines under the Property, the
right to cross or to permit others to cross under or over Grantee's Pipeline with pipelines,
roads, streets, railroads, waterlines, sewer lines and other utilities or facilities so long as
such use does not unreasonably interfere with the rights of Grantee hereunder.
e. Grantee hereby agrees to bury any pipeline to a sufficient depth so as not to interfere with
cultivation of the soil after construction thereof; provided, however, that such depth must
be at least three feet (3') below the natural surface elevation of the ground at the time of
construction and shall at times remain at least three feet (3) below the natural surface
elevation of the ground. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that no part of the Pipeline,

premises, Grantee's Pipeline shall be constructed below such existing lines with a
minimum clearance of twenty-four inches (24 ") between the top of Grantee's Pipeline.
Grantee agrees to pay any damages which may arise to growing crops, timber, fences,
blacktop, concrete or other improvements as a result of Grantee's exercise of any of the
rights and privileges herein granted.
f. Grantee shall not transport in the Pipeline covered by this easement any product, material
or substance other than that named above without the prior written consent of the
Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided the new product,
material or substance can be, in Grantor's opinion, safely transported in the Pipeline as
designed, constructed, tested and maintained and its use for such purpose violates no
state, local or federal regulations governing the design, construction, testing and
operation of Pipelines for the transportation of such product, material or substance.

AGREES TO PAY FOR ALL DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGES, TO ALL PROPERTY OF ANY
