maintain its underground facilities on the property as described above and/or the approximate
location as shown on the attached exhibit.
The entire ornamental street lighting system including underground cables, conduit, posts,
lamps, ballasts, starters, photocells, and glassware installed by NSP, shall be the property of

to any ownership interest or rights therein.

underground installation shall be accessible to NSP's equipment; (b) all obstructions shall be
removed from such route at no cost or expense to NSP; (c) ground elevation along the route
shall not be above or more than four (4) inches below the finished grate.
Customer agrees to pay all additional installation costs incurred by NSP because of (a) soil
conditions that impair the installation of underground facilities, such as rock formations, etc.,

along the cable route, such as extensive existing underground facilities, etc. NSP will
backfill trench with existing soil.

service, has executed this form and has notified NSP in writing that the requirements of
paragraph #2 hereof have been fulfilled.

made to accommodate the customer's needs or required because of altering the grade,
additions to structures, installing patios, decks or gardens or any other condition which makes
maintenance of the company's facilities impractical.
