and/or equitable relief or remedies as Grantee deems
necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with the
terms, conditions, covenants, obligations and purposes of

or election to so act by Grantee shall not be deemed to be
a waiver or a forfeiture of any right or available remedy on
Grantee's part with respect to such breach, default, or
violation or with respect to any other breach, default or
violation of any term, condition, covenant or obligation
under this Easement.
The cure period In the Section 6.03 may be extended for a
