5. That doesn't sound real to me.
Eminent domain is *government* taking. Private corporations have no government power to take your land. That government power arises from the "takings"/"just compensation" clause of the U.S. Constitution. That document grants no such power to private corporations. Can you cite any of the cases you refer to? Your post doesn't make any sense to me.
