1. Character of Easement. The Easement is nonexclusive and irrevocable. The Easement is
for the benefit of Grantee and Grantee's successors, and assigns (as applicable, the "Holder"). The
Easement granted herein is "in gross" in that there is no benefited property. Nevertheless, the Easement
rights granted herein shall pass to Grantee's successors and assigns, subject to all of the terms hereof,

any other person or entity, or to the owner of any other property to use or enter upon the Easement

Facilities provided for herein are dedicated to the public pursuant to a recorded subdivision plat of the

the Easement Purpose, and the right to convey to others the right to use all or part of the Easement

threatened interference, without the necessity of proof of inadequacy of legal remedies or irreparable
harm, and will be obtainable only by the parties to or those benefited by this agreement; provided,
however, that the act of obtaining an injunction or restraining order will not be deemed to be an election
of remedies or a waiver of any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity.

owner of any part of Grantor's property adjacent to the Easement Property have the right to dedicate any

respective successors and permitted assigns.

without regard to choice-of-law rules of any jurisdiction. Venue is in the county or counties in which the
Easement Property is located.
10. Waiver of Default. It is not a waiver of or consent to default if the nondefaulting party
fails to declare immediately a default or delays in taking any action. Pursuit of any remedies set forth in
this agreement does not preclude pursuit of other remedies in this agreement or provided by law.
11. Entire Agreement. This agreement and any exhibits are the entire agreement of the
parties concerning the Easement Property and the grant of the Easement by Grantor to Grantee. There are
no representations, agreements, warranties, or promises, and neither party is relying on any statements or
representations of any agent of the other party, that are not expressly set forth in this agreement and any
exhibits.
12. Legal Construction. If any provision in this agreement is for any reason unenforceable,
to the extent the unenforceability does not destroy the basis of the bargain among the parties, the
unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and this agreement will be construed as if the
{00334498} 3
