[insert address] (the "Owner")
AND:
___________________________________
[Insert legal name of grantee]

___________________________________
[insert address], (the "Grantee")
WHEREAS:
A. The Grantee wishes an easement over the Servient Lands to provide access to the Grantee's Property.
B. The Owner is willing to grant to the Grantee an easement over the Servient Lands to provide access to the Grantee's Property.
Therefore in consideration of the payment of the fee to be paid by the Grantee, and the Grantee's covenants as set out in this Agreement, the Owner and Grantee agree as follows:
"Grantee's Property" means the lands described in Schedule A attached to this Agreement.
"Easement Area" means that portion of the Servient Lands as described in Schedule B attached to this Agreement.
"Security" means the security for the performance of the Grantee's obligations as set out in paragraph 12 in the amount of [$xx]
"Servient Lands" means the lands described in Schedule A attached to this Agreement.
"Special Conditions" means the conditions, if any, set out in Schedule C attached to this Agreement.
By this Agreement the Owner grants to the Grantee, and its invitees, permittees, representatives, employees, and agents, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, the full, free and uninterrupted easement, right and liberty over the Easement Area to enter on and use the Easement Area for the purpose of constructing and maintaining (including trimming or removing trees and vegetation) a road and using the Easement Area as a road to give pedestrian and vehicular access to the Grantee's Property.
This Easement is appurtenant to the Grantee's Property and passes with a conveyance or other disposition of the estate in fee simple of the Grantee's Property, and is binding on the Servient Lands.
The Grantee will pay the Owner an annual fee in advance in the amount of [$xx not to exceed $100.00 (2006 dollars)], to cover the Owner's costs of administering this Agreement.
The obligation of the Grantee in this Agreement constitutes both contractual obligations and covenants under Section 219 of the Land Title Act in respect of the Grantee's Property and runs with the Grantee's Property and binds successors in title.
This Agreement will not entitle the Grantee to exclusive possession of the Easement Area and the Owner reserves the right to grant other dispositions of the Easement Area so long as the grant does not impair the Grantee's permitted use of the Easement Area.
The Grantee covenants with the Owner:
(a) to pay the annual fee as described in paragraph 4 at the address of the Owner set out above or at such other place as the Owner may specify under paragraph 14;
(b) to pay and discharge when due all applicable taxes, levies, charges and assessments now or hereafter assessed, levied or charged which relate to the Easement Area or any of the Grantee's improvements on the Easement Area, which the Grantee is liable to pay;
(c) to observe, abide by and comply with all applicable laws, bylaws, orders, directions, ordinances and regulations of any competent government authority, including an Owner government, in any way affecting the Easement Area and improvements situate thereon, or their use and occupation;
(d) not to commit or suffer any wilful or voluntary waste, spoil or destruction on the Easement Area or do or suffer to be done thereon by its invitees, permittees, representatives, employees, or agents, or anyone for whom the Grantee is responsible at law, anything that may be or becomes a nuisance;
(e) not to bury debris or rubbish of any kind on the Easement Area;
(f) not to commit or suffer any wilful or voluntary waste, spoil or destruction on the Easement Area, or anything that may be or becomes a nuisance or annoyance to the Servient Lands;
(g) to deliver to the Owner from time to time, upon demand, proof of insurance required under this Agreement, receipts or other evidence of payment of any taxes or charges owing, and other monetary obligations of the Grantee required to be observed by the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement;
(h) to indemnify and save harmless the Owner against all losses, damages, costs and liabilities, including fees of solicitors and other professional advisors, arising out of:
i. any breach, violation or non-performance of any covenant, condition or obligation under this Agreement by the Grantee; and
ii. any personal injury, death, or property damage, arising out of the Grantee's use or occupation of the Easement Area under this Agreement,
and the Owner may add the amount of any losses, damages, costs and liabilities to the fees payable under paragraph 4, and the amount added will be payable to the Owner immediately.
(i) to keep the Easement Area in a safe, clean and sanitary condition satisfactory to the Owner acting reasonably, and to make safe, clean and sanitary any portion of the Easement Area or any improvement thereon that the Owner, acting reasonably, may direct by notice in writing to the Grantee;
(j) to permit the Owner or its authorized representative to enter upon the Easement Area at any time to examine its condition;
(k) to use and occupy the Easement Area in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement including the Special Conditions, if any, set out in Schedule C;
(l) on the expiration or at the earlier cancellation of this Agreement:
i. to quit peaceably and deliver possession of the Easement Area to the Owner;
ii. to de-commission the road, including the removal of any structures or works on the Easement Area, and restore the surface of the Easement Area to the satisfaction of the Owner acting reasonably;
and to the extent necessary, this covenant shall survive the expiration or cancellation of this Agreement;
(m) to obtain and keep in force insurance covering the Owner and the Grantee (without any rights of cross-claim or subrogation against the Owner) against claims for personal injury, death, property damage or third party or public liability claims arising from any accident or occurrence on the Easement Area to an amount not less than $1,000,000.00;
(n) notwithstanding subparagraph (m), the Owner may from time to time, acting reasonably, considering the amount of insurance a prudent owner would carry, require the Grantee to increase the amount of insurance and the Grantee will, within 60 days of receiving the request, obtain the required additional insurance and deliver to the Owner written confirmation of the change;
(o) not to interfere with the activities, works or other improvements of any other person who enters on or uses or occupies the Easement Area under a subsequent right or interest granted by the Owner, or who is otherwise authorized by the Owner to enter on or use or occupy the Easement Area, in accordance with paragraph 6; and
(p) if the Grantee, or its agents, contractors or representatives, discover any archaeological material on the Easement Area, to take all reasonable steps and precautions to minimize disturbance of that material, and to immediately notify the Owner.
Despite any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may be cancelled if the Grantee fails or refuses to observe or perform any term in this Agreement, and the failure continues after the Owner gives written notice of the failure to the Grantee for a period of:
(a) 30 days; or
(b) 150 days, if the failure because of its nature reasonably requires more than 30 days to cure, and provided that the Grantee proceeds diligently and continuously to cure the failure,
then the Owner may by further written notice to the Grantee cancel this Agreement and despite paragraph 7(1), any fixtures to the Easement Area will, at the discretion of the Owner, become the property of the Owner.
If the Owner requires the Easement Area for another purpose, the Owner may, on 180 days written notice to the Grantee and in consultation with the Grantee:
(a) at its cost locate and construct an alternate road providing access to the Grantee's Property to a standard at least equivalent to the original road;
(b) grant a replacement agreement for the alternate road on the same terms as this Agreement; and
(c) by further written notice to the Grantee cancel this Agreement;
and on cancellation the Grantee will quit peaceably and deliver possession of the Easement Area, except that the Grantee may, at its election, within 60 days of the cancellation, or such longer time as reasonably required, remove any fixtures from the Easement Area, but the Grantee will not be required to comply with paragraph 7(1)(ii).
The Owner will not dispose of, or agree to dispose of, the Servient Lands without first notifying any intended purchaser of the existence of this Agreement.
All timber of commercial value on the Easement Area will remain the property of the Owner.
The Grantee will deliver the Security to the Owner within 30 days of the commencement of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Grantee's use of the Easement Area, as security for the performance of the Grantee's obligations under this Agreement, and the following will apply:
(a) the Grantee will maintain the Security in full until the later of:
i. the termination of this Agreement; or
ii. the complete fulfillment of all of the Grantee's obligations under this Agreement;
(b) if the Grantee defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Owner may, in its sole election, draw on and use the Security to reimburse the Owner for all reasonable costs and expenses, including legal and other professional services costs if any, caused by or arising out of the Grantee's breach, and in the event of a call on the Security of the Grantee will, as a condition of the continuation of this Agreement, immediately pay to the Owner the amount of the draw so that the full amount of the Security is available.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be resolved as follows:
(a) the parties will attempt to resolve disputes by good faith negotiations, including timely disclosure of all relevant facts, information and documents;
(b) either party may, at any time, by written notice request that the dispute be referred to mediation, conducted by a mediator, knowledgeable about the matters in dispute;
(c) if the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the notice to mediate under subparagraph (b) then, on the agreement of both parties, the dispute may be referred to a single arbitrator for final resolution. If the parties do not agree to arbitration then either party may refer the matter to the courts;
except that it is not incompatible with this paragraph for a party to apply to a court at any time for interim or conservatory relief, and for the court to grant that relief.
If notice is required or permitted under this Agreement, the notice:
(a) must be in writing;
(b) must be delivered to the address set out above, or other address as specified in writing by a party; and
(c) may be given in one or more of the following ways:

ii. delivered by fax, and it will be deemed received on the next business day; or
iii. mailed by pre-paid post in Canada, and it will be deemed received on the eighth business day following.
A breach of any term, condition, covenant or other provision of this Agreement may only be waived in writing, and any waiver will not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Consent to or approval of any act, where consent or approval is required under this Agreement, will not be construed as consent to or approval of any subsequent act.
No remedy set out in this Agreement is exclusive of any other remedy provided by law, but will be in addition to any other remedy existing at law, in equity, or by statute.
The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall extend to, be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.
In this Agreement:
(a) all attached schedules form an integral part of this Agreement;
(b) unless the context otherwise requires, the singular includes the plural and the masculine includes the feminine gender, body politic and a corporation;
(c) the headings are for convenience only and are not to be construed as defining or in any way limiting the scope or intent of the Agreement;

5.8 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of British Columbia and Canada.
5.9 No term, condition, covenant or other provision will be considered to have been waived by one party unless the waiver is expressed in writing by that party.

3. Huu‑ay‑aht will permit access to and through the Lands by Parks Canada as may be necessary for the purpose of protection or preservation of the Trees or for other purposes reasonably associated with the operation and maintenance of the Park trails for so long as the Park is a national park or national park reserve.
4. Huu‑ay‑aht shall not make an application for registration of indefeasible title (under the provisions of the Final Agreement related to land title) with respect to the Lands unless such application also includes an application to register the interest of Canada hereunder. It will be a condition of such application for registration of indefeasible title and the application to register the interest of Canada hereunder that the applications be treated as a single package and if the Registrar declines to register Canada's interest, then the indefeasible title of the Owner will not be registered. Either party to this Agreement may register this Agreement in any land registry or land title office or other registration system established or used in respect of the Lands hereafter. At the request of either party, each party will co-operate in executing any documents or plans required to effect such registration and to preserve the substance and priority of this Agreement in relation to the Lands.
5. This Agreement runs with and binds the Lands to the extent necessary to give full force and effect to this Agreement.
6. Huu‑ay‑aht may, with the prior written consent of Parks Canada, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided that such cutting will have little detrimental impact on public access to and the ecological integrity of the Parks and the Lands, cut selected Trees for ceremonial, medicinal or artistic purposes, including:
a. use of trees, branches or vegetation for sue in oosimch (cleansing rituals) or other traditional ceremonies or uses;
b. use of trees or branches for use in the collection of herring spawn on boughs;
c. use of trees, branches or vegetation for the fabrication of tools and implements used in traditional pursuits;
d. collection of medicinal plants, tress, shrubs or other vegetation for traditional medicines or food, or for demonstration in tourism programs; and
e. stripping of bark from trees for traditional uses.
7. Huu‑ay‑aht may, with the written prior consent of Parks Canada, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, cut or otherwise use selected Trees on the Lands for purposes other than those associated with ceremonial, medicinal or artistic uses, including:
a. cutting of selected Trees for site clearing for tourism-related programs and buildings, including an ecolodge(s) on the Lands;
b. in tourism related buildings or trails on the Lands, or in the Park, or in a building or on a facility that is intended to benefit Huu‑ay‑aht outside of the two areas, associated with informing and educating people visiting the Parks of First Nations culture and reflecting the traditional use and intrinsic values of such trees such as a traditional long house;
c. cutting of selected trees to create viewscapes for tourism programs;
d. collection of medicinal plants, trees, shrubs or other vegetation for demonstration in tourism programs; and
e. cutting of selected trees for site clearing and for use in the construction of dwellings on the Lands for the direct use of the Ha'wiih (hereditary Chiefs) of Huu‑ay‑aht whose Hahoulthee (traditional territory) includes the Lands.
8. Canada will, in determining whether to consent under section 11, take into account whether the cutting or use:
a. is reasonably required to support implementation of Huu‑ay‑aht's plans, programs and initiatives;
b. will have little detrimental impact on public access on the trails; and
c. will have little detrimental impact on the ecological integrity of the Park and the Lands.
9. Huu‑ay‑aht will pay all costs associated with the cutting or use of selected Trees under Sections 9 and 10 of this Agreement, and will indemnify Canada against any liabilities or costs caused by or resulting from such cutting or use.
10. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Huu‑ay‑aht will continue to exercise all the rights, privileges and interests, including all traditional and cultural uses as determined by Huu‑ay‑aht, in respect of the Lands.
11. The rights and interests of Huu‑ay‑aht surrendered will revert to Huu‑ay‑aht and its members, and any rights or interests granted pursuant to or ancillary to this surrender will terminate, if the Park ceases to be administered as a national park or national park reserve.
12. Subject to the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act (Canada) and the Financial Administration Act (Canada) will save harmless and indemnify the Owner from and against all claims, demands, actions, suits or other legal proceedings by whomsoever made or brought against the Owner by reason of or arising out of:
a. any breach, violation or non-performance by Canada of any of Canada's covenants, conditions or obligations under the Agreement; and
b. any personal injury, death or property damage arising out of Canada's use of the Right of Way Lands pursuant to the Agreement
13. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Agreement will be resolved as follows:
a. the parties will attempt to resolve disputes by negotiations, including timely disclosure of all relevant facts, information and documents;
b. either party may, at any time, by written notice request that the dispute be referred to mediation, conducted by a mediator, knowledgeable about the matters in dispute; and
if the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the notice to mediate under subsection (b) then, on the agreement of the parties, the dispute may be referred to a single arbitrator for final resolution. If the parties do not agree to arbitration, then any party may refer the matter to a court of competent jurisdiction; except that it is not incompatible with this Section for a party to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction at any time for interim or conservatory relief and for the court to grant that relief.
14. Canada will observe, abide by and comply with all applicable laws and regulations of any competent government authority, including an Owner government, affecting the Trail and improvements situate thereon, and including, without limitation, the payment of all applicable taxes without.

(b) the Grantor may at any time require Hydro to attach a revised survey plan to this Agreement to include those additional portions of the Lands.
4.1 This Agreement will not entitle Hydro to exclusive possession of the Hydro Right of Way Area or other parts of the Lands and the Grantor reserves the right to grant other dispositions of any Lands affected by this Agreement, so long as the grant does not materially affect or interfere with the exercise of Hydro's rights under this Agreement.
5.1 Hydro will undertake activities permitted under this Agreement having regard for the impact on the Environment, and will take prudent measures to minimize the danger or disruption to the Environment.
6.1 Hydro covenants separately with the Grantor that:

(d) Hydro shall bury and maintain all underground works as may be required so as not to unduly interfere with the drainage of the Lands;
(e) Hydro shall take all reasonable steps and precautions to minimize disturbance of any archaeological material discovered by Hydro on the Right of Way Area, and to immediately notify the Grantor;
(f) Hydro shall not bury debris or rubbish of any kind on the Lands in excavations or backfill, and to remove shoring and similar temporary structures as backfilling proceeds;
(g) Hydro shall not commit or suffer any wilful or voluntary waste, spoil or destruction on the Right of Way Area, or do or suffer to be done thereon anything that may be or become a nuisance or annoyance to the Grantor, except to the extent required by Hydro acting reasonably, to exercise its rights under this Agreement; and
(h) Hydro shall permit the Grantor to enter upon the Right of Way Area at any time to examine its condition.

(b) relocation of any Works; and
(c) construction or relocation of any Access Improvements.
In accordance with this Section, prior to undertaking any work, Hydro will deliver a copy of the work plan to the Grantor for comment by the Grantor. The Grantor will no more than fourteen (14) days after receiving the work plan, provide to Hydro in writing any comments that it may have, and Hydro will use reasonable efforts to accommodate any suggestions or requests presented by the Grantor to Hydro provided they do not result in delays, increased costs or technical difficulties.
8.1 If a material change occurs to the Lands, such as erosion, which for any reason makes the continued use of any portion of the Right of Way Area or the Excluded Right of Way Area unsuitable for any of the Works, then the Grantor will consent to the relocation and replacement of such Works to a new location on the Lands, as follows:
(a) Hydro will before undertaking any work, deliver a work plan to the Grantor indicating the contemplated relocation of the Works for approval by the Grantor, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or made subject to any unreasonable conditions;

(a) quit peaceably such Right of Way Area;
(b) remove any Access Improvements no longer required in relation to such Right of Way Area;
(c) remove all above ground Works from such Right of Way Area within a reasonable period of time and any Works remaining on that portion of the Right of Way Area will be absolutely forfeited to and become the property of the Grantor.

(a) Hydro shall and may peaceably enjoy and hold its rights under this Agreement without interruption, disturbance, molestation or hindrance whatsoever from the Grantor or any other person lawfully claiming from or under the Grantor, provided however that nothing in this Section 11.1(a) shall limit the Grantor's right of inspection pursuant to Section 6.1(h);
(b) the Grantor will not permit or make, place, erect, operate, use or maintain any building, structure, foundation, pavement, excavation, well, fill, pile of material, obstruction, equipment, thing or inflammable substance, or plant any vegetation upon the Area of the Works, if any such action or thing, in the reasonable opinion of Hydro:

(b) the Grantor will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay approval of such work plan, and shall take into consideration the effect of the proposed work, the cost of the proposed work compared to the cost of alternate solutions and the extent of the risk of not undertaking the work. If Hydro and the Grantor cannot agree on a work plan requested by Hydro within 30 days of receipt by the Grantor of the proposed work plan, then either party may refer the disagreement to dispute resolution under Section 14 of this Agreement;
(c) Hydro will pay compensation for any damage to the Lands resulting from the work plan;
(d) in the case of an emergency or reasonably apprehended emergency Hydro may, without the approval of the Grantor, undertake works and take such steps on the Lands as are reasonably required to be taken immediately in order to protect the Works, or to protect persons or property that may be at risk from the Works, and in that event Hydro will as soon as reasonably possible notify the Grantor; and
(d) generally, do all such other acts or things as may reasonably be necessary or incidental to the business of Hydro in connection with any of the foregoing;
3.1 The parties acknowledge that they have made reasonable efforts to identify all the existing Works and related Right of Way Area as of the date of this Agreement. However, as there may still be some Works that were missed in the identification process the parties agree that for such Works the Grantor grants to Hydro for so long as required, a right of way over those portions of the Lands upon which such Works are located on the following terms:
(a) for such Works, Hydro holds the same rights, privileges and obligations as apply to Hydro for the use of the Right of Way Area and the Area of the Works under this Agreement, including the right of reasonable access over the Lands for the purpose of gaining access to such Works; and
(b) the Grantor may at any time require Hydro to attach a revised survey plan to this Agreement to include those additional portions of the Lands.
4.1 This Agreement will not entitle Hydro to exclusive possession of the Hydro Right of Way Area or other parts of the Lands and the Grantor reserves the right to grant other dispositions of any Lands affected by this Agreement, so long as the grant does not materially affect or interfere with the exercise of Hydro's rights under this Agreement.
5.1 Hydro will undertake activities permitted under this Agreement having regard for the impact on the Environment, and will take prudent measures to minimize the danger or disruption to the Environment.
6.1 Hydro covenants separately with the Grantor that:
(a) After the construction of the Works or any relocation of the Works in accordance with Section 8.1 on or about the Right of Way Area, Hydro will cause that portion of the Lands used by Hydro for the Works as contemplated in Section 2.1(a) to be surveyed by a British Columbia Land Surveyor and will deliver such survey plan to the Grantor. Upon the delivery of such survey plan to the Grantor, that portion of the Lands so surveyed will be deemed to be the Right of Way Area for purposes of interpreting this Agreement and as modified under this Agreement from time to time. The Grantor authorizes Hydro and the registrar of the relevant land title office to do all things necessary in relation to the filing of the survey plan for the Right of Way Area, including inserting the number assigned by the relevant land title office to such plan;
(b) Hydro shall pay and discharge when due all applicable taxes, levies, charges and assessments now or hereafter assessed, levied or charged to the account of Hydro which relate to the Works and which Hydro is liable to pay;
(c) Hydro shall keep the portions of the Lands used by Hydro under this Agreement in a safe, clean and sanitary condition to the extent the condition relates to the use or occupation of the Lands by Hydro, and on written notice from the Grantor, to make safe, clean, and sanitary any portion of them that contravene the provisions of this covenant, provided that Hydro has no obligation to keep any portion of the Lands suitable for use by anyone except Hydro;
(d) Hydro shall bury and maintain all underground works as may be required so as not to unduly interfere with the drainage of the Lands;
(e) Hydro shall take all reasonable steps and precautions to minimize disturbance of any archaeological material discovered by Hydro on the Right of Way Area, and to immediately notify the Grantor;
(f) Hydro shall not bury debris or rubbish of any kind on the Lands in excavations or backfill, and to remove shoring and similar temporary structures as backfilling proceeds;
(g) Hydro shall not commit or suffer any wilful or voluntary waste, spoil or destruction on the Right of Way Area, or do or suffer to be done thereon anything that may be or become a nuisance or annoyance to the Grantor, except to the extent required by Hydro acting reasonably, to exercise its rights under this Agreement; and
(h) Hydro shall permit the Grantor to enter upon the Right of Way Area at any time to examine its condition.
7.1 Except in the case of an emergency or reasonably apprehended emergency, Hydro will provide to the Grantor a written work plan describing the proposed work located on, outside or related to the Right of Way Area prior to undertaking any of the following work under this Agreement:
(a) construction of any new Works;
(b) relocation of any Works; and
(c) construction or relocation of any Access Improvements.
In accordance with this Section, prior to undertaking any work, Hydro will deliver a copy of the work plan to the Grantor for comment by the Grantor. The Grantor will no more than fourteen (14) days after receiving the work plan, provide to Hydro in writing any comments that it may have, and Hydro will use reasonable efforts to accommodate any suggestions or requests presented by the Grantor to Hydro provided they do not result in delays, increased costs or technical difficulties.
8.1 If a material change occurs to the Lands, such as erosion, which for any reason makes the continued use of any portion of the Right of Way Area or the Excluded Right of Way Area unsuitable for any of the Works, then the Grantor will consent to the relocation and replacement of such Works to a new location on the Lands, as follows:
(a) Hydro will before undertaking any work, deliver a work plan to the Grantor indicating the contemplated relocation of the Works for approval by the Grantor, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or made subject to any unreasonable conditions;
(b) Hydro will take into account any likely material effect of the relocated Works on adjacent lands, and the Grantor will take into account the cost efficiencies of the location selected by Hydro for the relocated Works in relation to alternative locations;
(c) the relocated Works will be covered by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
(d) if Works are relocated from the Excluded Right of Way Area to the Lands Hydro will pay the Grantor the fair market value of the new Right of Way Area provided the Grantor has not caused any portion of such Excluded Right of Way Area to become unsuitable for any of the Works.
9.1 If the Grantor requires a portion of the Right of Way Area for other purposes, then upon written request by the Grantor, Hydro will relocate any Works in the Right of Way Area to a new location on the Lands, provided that:
(a) the new location is, in the reasonable opinion of Hydro, suitable for use for the relocated Works considering construction, maintenance and operation, and cost factors;
(b) the Grantor gives Hydro reasonable notice to permit proper design, planning and construction of the Works to be relocated;
(c) the Grantor agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including costs of design, supervision and construction (before any relocation, the Grantor will pay the costs and expenses as estimated by Hydro, with appropriate adjustments based on actuals after the relocation is complete); and
(d) the rights, liberties and rights of way under this Agreement will extend to the relocated Works and associated areas.
10.1 If Hydro no longer requires all or a portion of the Right of Way Area, then Hydro shall, in respect of such Right of Way Area:
(a) quit peaceably such Right of Way Area;
(b) remove any Access Improvements no longer required in relation to such Right of Way Area;
(c) remove all above ground Works from such Right of Way Area within a reasonable period of time and any Works remaining on that portion of the Right of Way Area will be absolutely forfeited to and become the property of the Grantor. If the Grantor removes any remaining above ground Works within four (4) years, Hydro will, on demand by the Grantor, reimburse the Grantor for all reasonable costs of removal; and
(d) remain liable for any environmental damage to the Lands arising from any below ground Works that remain on or in such Right of Way Area, except if the Grantor uses or authorizes the use of any of the remaining below ground Works for any purpose then Hydro will not be liable for any environmental damage caused by the Grantor's use, or authorized use; and to the extent necessary, this covenant will survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.1 The Grantor covenants with Hydro that:
(a) Hydro shall and may peaceably enjoy and hold its rights under this Agreement without interruption, disturbance, molestation or hindrance whatsoever from the Grantor or any other person lawfully claiming from or under the Grantor, provided however that nothing in this Section 11.1(a) shall limit the Grantor's right of inspection pursuant to Section 6.1(h);
(b) the Grantor will not permit or make, place, erect, operate, use or maintain any building, structure, foundation, pavement, excavation, well, fill, pile of material, obstruction, equipment, thing or inflammable substance, or plant any vegetation upon the Area of the Works, if any such action or thing, in the reasonable opinion of Hydro:
(i) may interfere with or endanger the Works or any part thereof or the installation, operation, maintenance, removal or replacement of the Works or any part thereof;
(ii) may obstruct access to the Works or any part thereof by those authorized by Hydro; or
(iii) may by its operation, use, maintenance or existence on the Area of the Works, create or increase any hazard to persons or property in relation to the Works;
(c) the Grantor will not diminish or increase the ground elevation in the Right of Way Area by any method, including piling any material or creating any excavation, drain, or ditch in the Right of Way Area, unless permission in writing from Hydro has first been received, which permission will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
(d) the Grantor will not carry out blasting or aerial logging operations on or adjacent to the Area of the Works without prior written permission from Hydro, which permission will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
(e) the Grantor will not use or authorize the use of the portions of the Right of Way Area for the regular, or organized parking of vehicles without the prior written permission from Hydro, which permission will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that nothing in this subsection is intended to prevent safe temporary parking of vehicles;
(f) the Grantor will not park, or authorize to be parked on the Right of Way Area any vehicle or equipment if the parking of such vehicle does not comply with the requirements of the Canadian Standards Association's Canadian Electrical Code, as may be amended from time to time; and
(g) the Grantor will not use, or authorize the use of the Right of Way Area for fuelling any vehicle or equipment.
12.1 Subject to the rights granted in this Agreement, Hydro covenants with the Grantor that if Hydro or its contractors, damage any structures, buildings, fixtures, improvements, or chattels outside of the Area of the Works, or damage any crops, merchantable timber, livestock, drains, ditches, culverts, fences, trails, bridges, or roads on the Lands, and such damage is not caused as a result of the Grantor's breach of the terms of this Agreement or the negligence or willful act of the Grantor or its contractors, agents or permittees, that Hydro will:
(a) compensate the Grantor for such damages, to the extent caused by Hydro; or
(b) within a reasonable period of time, repair in a good and workman-like manner any damaged structure, building or improvement, as closely as is practicable to its condition immediately prior to the damage.
12.2 Compensation paid to the Grantor for merchantable timber pursuant to Section.12.1 will be in accordance with generally accepted principles of timber valuation and the parties agree that on payment, title to any timber cut on the Lands under this Agreement will vest in Hydro.
13.1 Hydro will save harmless and indemnify the Grantor from and against all claims, demands, actions, suits or other legal proceedings by whomsoever made or brought against the Grantor by reason of or arising out of:
(a) any breach, violation or non-performance by Hydro of any of Hydro's covenants, conditions or obligations under this Agreement; and
(b) any act or omission on the part of Hydro in respect of or in relation to its Works including the construction, maintenance, operation or decommissioning of its Works, but only to the extent any such matter is found to be the responsibility of Hydro and was not contributed to by the negligence, or breach, violation or non-performance, by the Grantor or by those for whom the Grantor is responsible at law, and not for any matters based on nuisance or the rule in Rylands v. Fletcher unless Hydro was negligent.
14.1 Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be resolved as follows:
(a) the parties will attempt to resolve disputes by negotiations, including timely disclosure of all relevant facts, information and documents;
(b) either party may, at any time, by written notice request that the dispute be referred to mediation, conducted by a mediator, knowledgeable about the matters in dispute;
(c) if the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the notice to mediate under subsection (b) then, on the agreement of the parties, the dispute may be referred to a single arbitrator for final resolution. If the parties do not agree to arbitration, then any party may refer the matter to a court of competent jurisdiction; except that it is not incompatible with this Section for a party to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction at any time for interim or conservatory relief and for the court to grant that relief.
15.1 This Agreement runs with and binds the Lands to the extent necessary to give full force and effect to this Agreement.

Interests – Form Of Content
1. Upland Owner Consent |
TO: Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the Province of British Columbia, as represented by the Minister of Agriculture and Lands ("British Columbia")
FROM: [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] ("____________________")
WHEREAS:
A. [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] is the owner in fee simple of the land located __________, legally described as [INSERT LEGAL DESCRIPTION] (the "Upland");
B. British Columbia is the owner in fee simple of the parcel or tract of land being the foreshore fronting on the Upland and all land covered by water adjoining the Upland (the "Foreshore");
C. The Upland and Foreshore are adjacent to each other and the [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation], as owner of the Upland, is entitled to exercise its riparian right of access to the Upland by crossing the Foreshore;
D. British Columbia wishes to interfere with the [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation's] riparian right of access to the Upland by authorizing, under _______________ existing license(s) of occupation (collectively, the "Licenses"), the use of the identified portions of the Foreshore for the following purposes:
(i) log booming and storage operation on the portion of the Foreshore shown outlined in heavy bold on the attached Schedule "A" ("Log Booming Area") pursuant to a license dated _____________ and numbered _______________, which has a term expiring _________________; and
(ii) floating sport fishing resort business on the portion of the Foreshore shown outlined in heavy bold on the attached Schedule "B" ("Resort Fishing Area") pursuant to a license dated _____________ and numbered _______________, which has a term expiring _____________________; and
[Note to Draft: These purposes will need to be amended to reflect the terms of the actual foreshore tenures]
E. [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] is prepared to consent to such interference pursuant to the provisions set out below:
NOW THEREFORE THIS CONSENT WITNESSES that in consideration of the sum of ONE ($1.00) dollar and other good and valuable consideration, now paid by British Columbia to the
[Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties agree as follows:
1. The [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation], as owner of the Upland, on the terms set forth herein, hereby consents to British Columbia, as owner of the Foreshore, and its servants, employees, agents, contractors, tenants, invitees, licensees and all those claiming through them, interfering, in accordance with the Licenses, with the [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] right, as owner of the Upland, to pass and repass over the Log Booming Area and the Resort Fishing Area to gain access to and from the Upland.
2. The [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] acknowledges and agrees that the consent hereby given entitles British Columbia to authorize its servants, employees, agents, contractors, tenants, invitees, licensees, and all those claiming through them, in accordance with the Licenses, to:
(a) construct, erect, place, install, moor, maintain, replace, renovate and repair buildings, structures, works, improvements and chattels on all or any part of the Log Booming Area or the Resort Fishing Area which are reasonably necessary in connection with the purposes authorized and approved in the respective Licences;
(b) do all other acts within the Log Booming Area or the Resort Fishing Area, reasonably necessary or incidental to the purposes authorized and approved in connection with the respective Licenses.
3. The [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] or any of its successors or assigns, as the case may be, will give written notice of this Consent to any person to whom it proposes to dispose of any portion of the Upland which borders on the Foreshore, which notice will be received by that person prior to such disposition. Prior to or concurrently with such disposition, the [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] or any of its successors or assigns, as the case may be, will obtain a written ratification of this Consent by the transferee of such portion of the Upland in the same form as this Consent and will deliver an originally executed copy thereof to British Columbia. For the purposes of this paragraph, the word "dispose" means any transfer by any method to any person entitled to exercise a riparian right of access to the Upland.
4. British Columbia covenants and agrees with the [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation's] that nothing in this Consent will be deemed or otherwise construed so as to permit British Columbia, its servants, employees, agents, contractors, tenants, invitees, licensees and all those claiming through them to enter onto the Upland or to construct, place, erect or install any buildings, structures, improvements or works thereon.
5. This Consent is effective from and after __________________, 200__ ("Effective Date") until:
(a) ____________________, or the earlier termination of License No. ______________ in respect of the interference over the Log Booming Area; and
(b) ____________________, or the earlier termination of License No. ______________ in respect of the interference over the Resort Fishing Area.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, [Applicable Maa‑nulth First Nation] and British Columbia have duly executed this Consent as of the Effective Date.

authorized signatory(ies)
