abandonment clause/ to be or not to be?

Trying to negotate a row easement for 3 lines. Gas co wont really budge on the adandoment clause. Havent signed yet because I think this is important and so does my attorney. Not really happy with the price per foot and other things they dont want to put in per attorney recommended. Looks like its go to be all around me anyway. Should I just cave in and sign because its all around me anyway and wait to get my terms. I know they will probably go around me and I will have nothing. But my understanding is this clause is important. They claimed they presented their final offer to my attorney and if i dont sign they move on. I dont know if its a bluff or what or if i should stand my ground. 

can anyone offer their two cents here...thanks agian.

Has anyone been paid up front in full for an easement , or is it standard practice that they don't pay until their ready to start?

  first off love your handle I do know of where very few people got  some monies up front but they are few and far between my friend which relating back to this discission is why a termination/abandonment clause is very nice to have personally we did not other than the 10.00 consideration fee I would say it comes down to location,location and finally location. the status quo sign and wait is normal but sucks  the money almost becomes secondary to trying your best to  protect yourself and your land and quite honestly we refused to discuss money until we had about 80% of what we wanted drove the land agents nuts every time they asked what we wanted we would say a good agreement

P.S to the above post there offer was 15.00 primary and 7.00 for each secondary line hey kit I hate to tell you this and I'm not saying they lie lets just say they enhance the truth ooooh 57.00 thats so much better  NOT  If these people can not give you peace of mind with some addenda to protect yourself and your land the money in my opinion becomes useless just as the land they want to use its easy for me to say walk away but we've done it but it feels like you left money on the table but it is necessary at times hey a quick shout out to MR ALLEN information you have posted helped us get a better ROW just want to say THANK-YOU
