restored to its original condition to the extent required by applicable law or reasonably required by
Grantor. Grantee at its sole cost shall monitor, maintain, and restore any wetland areas affected by its use
and occupancy on Grantor's Property for the time specified in any and all permits, licenses or other
approvals obtained by Grantee hereunder.
c. If, during the term of this Agreement, Grantee becomes aware of any violation of
Environmental Laws or of the presence of any Hazardous Materials or threatened presence of Hazardous
Materials in, on, over or under the soil, groundwater or other areas of Grantor's Property resulting from or
connected with Grantee's use and occupancy of Grantor's Property, Grantee shall promptly notify

encountered in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and, if permitted by such laws, shall
restore the excavated work area to the condition existing before such Hazardous Materials were
encountered. If, under applicable Environmental Laws, the excavated soils cannot be returned to the
excavated work area, Grantee shall remove and dispose of the excavated contaminated soil at no cost to
Grantor in the manner required by applicable Environmental Law, but in no event shall such
contaminated soil be redeposited on Grantor's Property.
12. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default
( "Event of Default ") under this Agreement:
a. Grantee's failure to pay when due any amount payable by Grantee hereunder and
the continuation of such default for a period of ten (10) days after notice thereof from Grantor; or
b. Grantee's failure to perform or observe any other covenant, term or condition to
be performed or observed by Grantee hereunder, and the continuation of such default for a period of thirty
(30) days after notice thereof from Grantor; provided, however, that if such default cannot be cured within
thirty (30) days and Grantee has undertaken diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day period to effect a
cure, then the cure period shall be extended for such additional time, not to exceed an additional sixty (60)
days, as may be required by Grantee through the exercise of continuous, diligent efforts to complete all
required corrective action; or
c. Any representation or warranty of Grantee hereunder proves to be false or
misleading in any material respect when made; or

with evidence of such insurance as required by said Section; or

center bank located in Chicago) and (ii) an administrative charge in an amount equal to ten percent (10 %)
of the cost of the corrective action to defray part of the administrative expense incurred by Grantor in
administering such cure, such payment to be made by Grantee upon Grantor's presentment of demand
therefor; or
c. any other remedy available at law or in equity to Grantor, including without
limitation specific performance of Grantee's obligations hereunder.
Grantee shall be liable for and shall reimburse Grantor upon demand for all reasonable attorney's fees and
costs incurred by Grantor in enforcing Grantee's obligations under this Agreement, whether or not
10
Grantor files legal proceedings in connection therewith. No delay or omission of Grantor to exercise any
right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a
waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants
of this Agreement shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other breach, or as a waiver,
acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant. The acceptance of
payment by Grantor of any of the fees or charges set forth in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver
of any breach or violation of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.
14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given if delivered in person or by messenger or sent by U.S. certified mail,

unenforceability shall not affect such covenant, term or condition as applied to other facts or
circumstances (unless the effect of such determination precludes the application of such covenant, term or
condition to other facts or circumstances) or the validity, legality or enforceability of the other covenants,
terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties shall promptly and in good faith negotiate new provisions in
substitution therefor to restore this Agreement to its original intent and effect.
g. No receipt of money by Grantor from Grantee, after the expiration or termination
of this Agreement shall renew, reinstate, continue or extend the term of this Agreement.

proposed work. Please be aware that any unpermitted discharge into an area within the
jurisdiction of this office may result in civil or criminal enforcement under the Clean Water Act,
33 U.S.C. Sec. 1319.
This determination is valid for a period of 5 years from the date of this letter and covers
only your project as depicted in the plans titled WEST SHORE PIPELINE WATER MAIN
