cable and other lines, cables and facilities for communication s; semi-buried or ground-mounted facilities and
pads, manholes, meters, fixtures, attachments and any and all other facilities or appurtenances necessary or
convenient to any or all of the foregoing.
Following the initial construction of all or a portion of its systems, PSE may, from time to time, construct such
additional facilities as it may require for such systems. PSE shall have the right of access to the Easement Area over
and across the Property to enable PSE to exercise its rights granted in this easement.
2. Easement Area Clearing and Maintenance. PSE shall have the right, but not the obligation to cut,
remove and dispose of any and all brush, trees or other vegetation in the Easement Area. PSE shall also have the
right, but not the obligation, to control, on a continuing basis and by any prudent and reasonable means, the
establishment and growth of brush, trees or other vegetation in the Easement Area.
3. Trees Outside Easement Area. PSE shall have the right to cut, trim remove and dispose of any trees
located on the Property outside the Easement Area that could, in PSE’s sole judgment, interfere with or create a
hazard to PSE’s systems. PSE shall, except in the event of an emergency, prior to the exercise of such right, identify
such trees and make a reasonable effort to give Owner prior notice that such trees will be cut, trimmed, removed or
disposed. Owner shall be entitled to compensation for the actual market value of merchantable timber (if any) cut
and removed from the Property by PSE.
4. Restoration. Following initial installation, repair or extension of its facilities, PSE shall, to the extent
reasonably practicable, restore landscaping and surfaces and portions of the Property affected by PSE’s work to the
condition existing immediately prior to such work, unless said work was done at the request of Owner, in which case
Owner shall be responsible for such restoration. All restoration which is the responsibility of PSE shall be performed
as soon as reasonably possible after the completion of PSE’s work and shall be coordinated with Owner so as to
cause the minimum amount of disruption to Owner’s use of the Property.
5. Owner's Use of Easement Area. Owner reserves the right to use the Easement Area for any purpose
not inconsistent with the rights herein granted, provided, however, Owner shall not excavate within or otherwise
change the grade of the Easement Area or construct or maintain any buildings or structures on the Easement Area

negligence of others.
7. Termination. The rights herein granted shall continue until such time as PSE terminates such right by
written instrument. If terminated, any improvements remaining in the Easement Area shall become the property of
Owner. No termination shall be deemed to have occurred by PSE’s failure to install its systems on the Easement
Area.
8. Successors and Assigns. PSE shall have the right to assign, apportion or otherwise transfer any or all
of its rights, benefits, privileges and interests arising in and under this easement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns.
