GRANTEE, at no cost, an acceptable and recordable easement to cover the relocated facilities. Upon the

Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to waive or modify the provisions of Florida Statute
768.28 or the doctrine of sovereign immunity as to any party hereto. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be

as a waiver of sovereign immunity.
GRANTEE agrees to indemnify and hold GRANTOR harmless for, from and against any and all losses,
claims or damages incurred by GRANTOR arising directly from GRANTEE's negligence or failure to exercise
reasonable care in the construction, reconstruction, operation, use or maintenance of GRANTEE's facilities located on
the above described easement.
GRANTOR hereby warrants and covenants (a) that GRANTOR is the owner of the fee simple title to the
premises in which the above described Easement Area is located, (b) that GRANTOR has full right and lawful
authority to grant and convey this easement to GRANTEE, and (c) that GRANTEE shall have quiet and peaceful
