regardless of the reasonableness of the cost of such activities.

relocation of the Pipeline and Facilities granted herein. Grantor or its affiliates shall give Grantee

notice shall be provided not less than six (6) months prior to commencement of such relocation. If

property suitable for the intended use, a substitute right-of-way for the placement of Grantee's

fences, livestock or water supply ditches. Grantor and Grantee hereby agree that the cost
