Applicant hereby grants to the Cooperative easements and rights of way on, across, and under Applicant’s property to install, construct, replace, repair, operate, upgrade, maintain, and remove cabling, equipment, and facilities for communications and for the transmission and distribution of electricity. Applicant consents to the Cooperative making such filings and recording such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to protect or perfect such easements and rights of way. Applicant will also provide the Cooperative with safe and unobstructed access to Applicant’s premises for the purpose of reading meters, testing, repairing, relocating, removing, or exchanging any and all cabling, equipment, or facilities necessary, in the opinion of the Cooperative, to provide electric, communication, and other service. 9. All meters, service drops, and related fixtures installed by the Cooperative upon Applicant’s premises are and at all times will remain the property of the Cooperative. Only an authorized agent of the Cooperative may alter, remove, repair, replace or make corrections to any equipment relating to the transmission or distribution of electricity. If Applicant or any other person tampers with meter installation, interferes with the proper working of a meter, or commits theft or diversion of service, including the falsification of meter reading, electrical service will be subject to termination and Applicant will be responsible for all losses suffered by the Cooperative as a result of such actions. The Cooperative will be entitled to collect from Applicant the appropriate rate for all power and energy not recorded on the meter as the result of tampering, theft, or similar activity, as well as all expenses arising out of any cost of collection incurred by the Cooperative. 10.
