paid by GRANTEE (including but not limited to engineering costs and legal costs
of collecting any unpaid expenses) or shall be repaired or replaced by GRANTEE,
at the sole cost and expense of GRANTEE, equivalent to or better than their
existing condition. In the event that GRANTEE fails to commence the required work
within thirty days after being directed to do so by COUNTY, or such reasonable
extension as COUNTY may agree to in writing, or fails to complete the required
work within a reasonable time thereafter, COUNTY may perform or complete the
work at the expense of GRANTEE, which expense GRANTEE agrees to pay to

the facilities of the existing users. If GRANTEE damages the facilities or
improvements of any existing user, GRANTEE shall repair or replace such facilities

which is or may become designated, classified or regulated as being "toxic,"
"hazardous" or a "pollutant" under any federal, state or local law, regulation or

emission of hazardous materials on or to the Property.

termination of this easement.
