There is hereby granted to Intermountain Gas Company, a corporation, its successors and assigns
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Grantee") a thirty (30) year extension to the right and
authority to construct, install, maintain and operate a gas transmission and distribution system,
including mains, pipes, conduits, services and other necessary structures and appliances
appertaining in, under, upon, over, across and along the streets, alleys, bridges and public places
within the present and future corporate limits of the City of Iona, Idaho(hereinafter referred to as
"City") for the furnishing, transmission, distribution and sale of gas, whether artificial, natural,
mixed or otherwise, for heating, domestic, industrial and other purposes and for transmitting gas
into,through and beyond said City. The City represents that it has the sole power and authority to
make this grant of authority and agrees to notify Grantee in writing if the City should cease to
have this power.
Section 2: Use of Streets and Rules Governing the Same.
Grantee shall secure a permit for any opening it shall make in the streets,alleys and public places
in the City and shall be subject to all applicable ordinances, but no fee shall be required of
Grantee for any such permit. Grantee may, however, open or disturb the streets, alleys, and
public places without a permit if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities.
The location or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the
approval of such representatives as the governing body of the City may designate for such
purpose, but not so as unreasonably to interfere with the proper operating of Grantee's facilities
and service. Whenever the City shall pave or repave any street or shall change the grade or line
of any street or public place or shall construct or reconstruct any conduit, water main, sewer or
water connection or other city public works or city utility, it shall be the duty of the Grantee
when so ordered by the City to change its mains, services and other property in the streets or

and appurtenances when the street, alley or public ground in which they are located is vacated
for the convenience of abutting property owners and not as an incident to the public
improvement, unless the reasonable cost of such relocation and the loss and expenses resulting
therefrom is first paid to Grantee. The City will avoid the need for such moving or changing
whenever possible. In the event Federal, State or other funds are available in whole or in part for
utility relocating purposes, the City shall apply for such funds and the Grantee will be
reimbursed to the extent any such funds are actually obtained. Whenever the City grants a permit
for an excavation in a street, alley or other public ground and the work contemplated by the
pen-nit may expose gas pipes, mains and appurtenances of the Grantee, the City shall furnish a
copy of the permit to Grantee at least 48 hours prior to such work. The Grantee will not be
required to move structures whenever any person or entity not working directly for the
Municipality without being fully reimbursed for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred.

Section 3: Grantee Subject to All Powers of City Rules Governing Repair and Reconstruction of
Streets.
The exercise of privileges herein granted shall be subject at all times to all of the powers of the
City and all regulatory ordinances adopted pursuant thereto. The Grantee shall not unnecessarily
or unreasonably obstruct the use of or damage any street or alley and shall within a reasonable
time and as early as practicable upon completion of any construction or repair work, restore all
City streets and alleys to the same order and condition as they were before the excavation was
made insofar as reasonably possible. The Grantee shall maintain, repair and keep in good
condition for a period of three years all portions of streets and alleys disturbed by it or its agents.
The Grantee shall be responsible for any obstruction in any street, alley or other public place
caused by it in the operation and maintenance of its properties occurring at any time and shall
promptly remove such obstruction. Any such obstruction which, after proper notice to Grantee
demanding removal is not promptly removed by the Grantee may be taken care of by the City

authority to construct, install, maintain and operate a gas transmission and distribution system,
including mains, pipes, conduits, services and other necessary structures and appliances
appertaining in, under, upon, over, across and along the streets, alleys, bridges and public places

and authority to make this grant of authority and agrees to notify Grantee in writing if the City
should cease to have this power.
Section 2: Use of Streets and Rules Governing Same
Grantee shall secure a permit for any opening it shall make in the streets, alleys and public places
in the City and shall be subject to all applicable ordinances, but no fee shall be required of Grantee
for any such permit. Grantee may, however, open or disturb the streets, alleys, and public places
without a permit if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities. The location
or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the approval of such
representatives as the governing body of the City may designate for such purpose, but not so as
unreasonably to interfere with the proper operating of Grantee's facilities and service. Whenever
the City shall pave or repave any street or shall change the grade or line of any street or public
place or shall construct or reconstruct any conduit, water main, sewer or water connection or other
city public works or city utility, it shall be the duty of the Grantee when so ordered by the City to
change its mains, services and other property in the streets or public places at its own expense so
as to conform to the established grade or line of such street or public place and so as not to interfere
with the conduits, sewers and other mains of the City as constructed or reconstructed; however,
the Grantee shall not be required to relocate pipes, mains and appurtenances when the street, alley
or public ground in which they are located is vacated for the convenience of abutting property
owners and not as an incident to the public improvement, unless the reasonable cost of such
relocation and the loss and expenses resulting therefrom is first paid to Grantee. The City will
avoid the need for such moving or changing whenever possible. In the event Federal, State or other
funds are available in whole or in part for utility relocating purposes, the City shall apply for such
funds and the Grantee will be reimbursed to the extent any such funds are actually obtained.
Whenever the City grants a permit for an excavation in a street, alley or other public ground and
the work contemplated by the permit may expose gas pipes, mains and appurtenances of the
Grantee, the City shall furnish a copy of the permit to Grantee at least 48 hours prior to such work.

any construction or repair work, restore all City streets and alleys to the same order and condition
as they were before the excavation was made insofar as reasonably possible. The Grantee shall
maintain, repair and keep in good condition for a period of one year all portions of streets and
alleys disturbed by it or its agents. The Grantee shall be responsible for any obstruction in any
street, alley or other public place caused by it in the operation and maintenance of its properties

after proper notice to Grantee demanding removal is not promptly removed by the Grantee may
be taken care of by the City and the costs thereof shall be charged against Grantee. For purposes
of this Section, Grantee's above-ground facilities or temporary construction materials and
equipment shall not be considered an "obstruction".

City and shall be subject to all applicable ordinances, but no fee shall be required of Grantee for any
such permit. Grantee may,however,open or disturb the streets,alleys, and public places without a permit
if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities. The location or relocation of all
facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the approval of such representatives as the
governing body of the City may designate for such purpose, but not so as unreasonably to interfere with
the proper operating of Grantee's facilities and service.Whenever the City shall pave or repave any street
or shall change the grade or line of any street or public place or shall construct or reconstruct any conduit,
water main, sewer or water connection or other city public works or city utility, it shall be the duty of
the Grantee when so ordered by the City to change its mains, services and other property in the streets

avoid the need for such moving or changing whenever possible. In the event Federal, State or other funds
are available in whole or in part for utility relocating purposes, the City shall apply for such funds and

streets and alleys disturbed by it or its agents. The Grantee shall be responsible for any obstruction in
