shall be entitled to recovery of its reasonable costs of suit, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, from the other party.

of this Easement, or of its rights under the Easement. No delay or omission by LAND
TRUST in the exercise of any right or remedy upon any breach by LANDOWNER shall
impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver, and LANDOWNER hereby

purpose of this Easement impossible to accomplish, this Easement can only be terminated
or extinguished, whether in whole or in part, by judicial proceedings in a court of
