If the Improvements are installed in good faith in a location other than the location that is described and depicted in Exhibit A and Exhibit B then, and in that event, the Easement Property defined herein shall be revised to include that strip of land that is centered on the line or equipment as installed, and in such an event, Grantor and Grantee, shall join in the execution and acceptance of an appropriate substitute easement instrument if either Grantor or Grantee shall deliver to the other a written request for such a substitute easement instrument.
