The Property will be served with electricity distribution service in the most cost-effective

legally serve the Property and (ii) the City shall have 30 business days to provide to Owner
Denton Municipal Electric's ("DME") offer to provide distribution electricity service to
the Property; and provided further, that if DME's offer is substantially similar to the most
cost-effective offer from another distribution electricity service provider that can legally
serve the Property, then Owner will obtain electricity distribution service from DME. The
term "substantially similar" means that the terms of the offers provide the approximately
the same level of service at approximately the same start-up cost to Owner. Electric rates
applicable to customers within the Property will be pursuant to the then applicable DME
rates as approved by the Denton City Council.
Such electricity service offers will be based upon the following terms:
The electricity distribution service provider will extend electric distribution
facilities as necessary to serve full development of the Property. The
electricity distribution service provider will evaluate the cost associated
with service extension through the undeveloped area to determine if Aid -
in -Construction is required. The electricity distribution service provider is
responsible for installation of all primary -voltage electrical cables,
transformers, switchgear, streetlight poles and LED streetlight fixtures,
streetlight cables, single-family residential services, and other necessary
electric distribution and transmission system equipment in compliance with
Electric Service Standards and Line Extension Policies currently in place at

feet in width adjacent to street rights -of -way in single family residential
areas, and 15 feet in width adjacent to Primary and Secondary Arterial
rights -of -way (20 feet where duct banks are required). Easements will be
conveyed through the platting process unless the electricity distribution
service provider requests an easement be transferred by separate instrument.
The provider agrees to joint trench installation of other franchised utilities
such as telephone, cable tv, fiber optic cables, or other non -gas utilities
within the designated public utility easements as long as those utilities are
on an edge shelf of the trench and not placed directly above the electric
facilities.
3. Existing overhead electric distribution lines, which are located in the public
rights -of -way, will be relocated by the electricity distribution service
C
provider at no cost to the Owner when development adjacent to the existing
electric line requires the line to be relocated in order to accommodate the
adjacent development as long as the relocation is also to an overhead
position. If Owner requests the relocation be placed underground, then
Owner shall be responsible for the difference in cost between the overhead
relocation and the underground relocation as reasonably determined and
demonstrated by the electricity distribution service provider. Existing
overhead electric distribution lines not owned by the electricity distribution
service provider will be relocated underground by the owner of the lines if
so required to comply with the Denton Development Code.
4. Owner will comply with those City approved policies within the DME
Electric Service Standards (ESS), as amended, that are available on the City
website and uniformly applied within the City, including the specifications
