affected rail corridor, Grantor shall not be liable to refund Grantee any compensation paid hereunder.
Section 5 Improvements. Grantee shall take, in a timely manner, all actions necessary and proper to the
lawful establishment, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Improvements, including such actions as
may be necessary to obtain any required permits, approvals or authorizations from applicable governmental
authorities. Any and all cuts and fills, excavations or embankments necessary in the construction, maintenance,
or future alteration of the Improvements shall be made and maintained in such manner, form and extent as will
provide adequate drainage of and from the adjoining lands and premises of the Grantor; and wherever any such
fill or embankment shall or may obstruct the natural and pre-existing drainage from such lands and premises of
the Grantor, the Grantee shall construct and maintain such culverts or drains as may be requisite to preserve
such natural and pre-existing drainage, and shall also wherever necessary, construct extensions of existing
drains, culverts or ditches through or along the premises of the Grantor, such extensions to be of adequate
sectional dimensions to preserve the present flowage of drainage or other waters, and of materials and
workmanship equally as good as those now existing. In the event any construction, repair, maintenance, work or
other use of the Premises by Grantee will affect any Lines, fences, buildings, improvements or other facilities

Grantee agrees to keep the above-described premises free and clear from combustible materials and to cut and
remove or cause to be cut and removed at its sole expense all weeds and vegetation on said premises, said

Agreement, Grantor may require Grantee, at Grantee's sole risk and expense, to take timely measures to
investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation affecting the Premises. If during
the construction or subsequent maintenance of the Improvements, soils or other materials considered to be

activities upon the Premises known to Grantee which create a risk of harm to persons, property or the
environment and shall take whatever action is necessary to prevent injury to persons or property arising out of

8.1 Grantor's Performance Rights. If at any time Grantee, or Grantee's Contractors, fails to properly
perform its obligations under this Easement Agreement, Grantor, in its sole discretion, may: (i) seek specific
performance of the unperformed obligations, or (ii) at Grantee's sole cost, may arrange for the performance of
such work as Grantor deems necessary for the safety of its rail operations, activities and property, or to avoid or

costs of work performed on Grantee's behalf upon receipt of an invoice for such costs. Grantor's failure to
perform any obligations of Grantee or Grantee's Contractors shall not alter the liability allocation set forth in this
Easement Agreement.
82 Abandonment. Grantor may, at its option, terminate this Easement Agreement by serving five
(5) days' notice in writing upon Grantee if Grantee should abandon or cease to use the Premises for the
Easement Purpose. Any waiver by Grantor of any default or defaults shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
terminate this Easement Agreement for any subsequent default or defaults, nor shall any such waiver in any way
affect Grantor's ability to enforce any section of this Easement Agreement.
8.3 Effect of Termination or Expiration. Neither termination nor expiration will release Grantee from
any liability or obligation under this Easement, whether of indemnity or otherwise, resulting from any acts,
omissions or events happening prior to the date of termination or expiration, or, if later, the date the Premises
are restored as required by Section 9.
8.4 Non-exclusive Remedies. The remedies set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to, and
not in limitation of, any other remedies that Grantor may have under the C&M Agreement, at law or in equity.

whether by abandonment of the Easement or by the exercise of Grantor's termination rights hereunder, Grantee

thereto from the Premises, as Grantor directs at Grantor's sole discretion;

Grantee to undertake one or more of the actions set forth above, at Grantee's sole cost, in which case Grantee
shall have a limited license to enter upon the Premises to the extent necessary to undertake the actions directed
by Grantor. The terms of this limited license include all of Grantee's obligations under this Easement
Agreement. Termination will not release Grantee from any liability or obligation under this Easement Agreement,
whether of indemnity or otherwise, resulting from any acts, omissions or events happening prior to the date of
termination, or, if later, the date when Grantee's Improvements are removed and the Premises are restored to
the condition that existed as of the Effective Date. if Grantee fails to surrender the Premises to Grantor upon
any termination of the Easement, all liabilities and obligations of Grantee hereunder shall continue in effect until
the Premises are surrendered.
Form 704; Rev. 03/23/09
Section 10 Liens. Grantee shall promptly pay and discharge any and all liens arising out of any
construction, alterations or repairs done, suffered or permitted to be done by Grantee on the Premises or
attributable to Taxes that are the responsibility of Grantee pursuant to Section 6. Grantor is hereby authorized
to post any notices or take any other action upon or with respect to the Premises that is or may be permitted by
Law to prevent the attachment of any such liens to any portion of the Premises; provided, however, that failure of
Grantor to take any such action shall not relieve Grantee of any obligation or liability under this Section 10 or any
other section of this Easement Agreement.
Section 11 Tax Exchange. Grantor reserves the right to assign this Easement Agreement to Apex Property
& Track Exchange, Inc. ("Apex"). Apex is a qualified intermediary within the meaning of Section 1031 of the

tax-deferred exchange under said Section 1031. Grantor shall bear all expenses associated with the use of
Apex, or necessary to qualify this transaction as atax-deferred exchange, and, except as otherwise provided
herein, shall protect, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Grantee from and against any and all reasonable
and necessary additional costs, expenses, including, attorneys fees, and liabilities which Grantee may incur as a
result of Grantor's use of Apex or the qualification of this transaction as atax-deferred transaction pursuant to
Section 1031. Grantee shall cooperate with Grantor with respect to this tax-deferred exchange, and upon
Grantor's request, shall execute such documents as may be required to effect this tax-deferred exchange.

Grantee.
Section 13 Recordation. It is understood and agreed that this Easement Agreement shall not be in
recordable form and shall not be placed on public record and any such recording shall be a breach of this
Easement Agreement. Grantor and Grantee shall execute a Memorandum of Easement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "B" (the "Memorandum of Easement") subject to changes required, if any, to conform such
form to local recording requirements. The Memorandum of Easement shall be recorded in the real estate
records in the county where the Premises are located. If a Memorandum of Easement is not executed by the
parties and recorded as described above within 10 days of the Effective Date, Grantor shall have the right to
terminate this Easement Agreement upon notice to Grantee.
Section 14 Miscellaneous.
14.1 All questions concerning the interpretation or application of provisions of this Easement
Agreement shall be decided according to the substantive Laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflicts
of law provisions.
14.2 In the event that Grantee consists of two or more parties, all the covenants and agreements of
Grantee herein contained shall be the joint and several covenants and agreements of such parties. This
instrument and all of the terms, covenants and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
each of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall run with

Agreement, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and necessary
disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may be entitled.

present or future Laws, such provision will be fully severable and this Easement Agreement will be construed
and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision is not a part hereof, and the remaining
provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. In lieu of any illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
5
Form 704; Rev. 03/23/09
herein, there will be added automatically as a part of this Easement Agreement a provision as similar in its terms
to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
14.5 This Easement Agreement is the full and complete agreement between Grantor and Grantee
with respect to all matters relating to Grantee's use of the Premises, and supersedes any and all other
agreements between the parties hereto relating to Grantee's use of the Premises as described herein. However,
nothing herein is intended to terminate any surviving obligation of Grantee or Grantee's obligation to defend and
hold Grantor harmless in any prior written agreement between the parties.
14.6 Time is of the essence for the performance of this Easement Agreement.

certificates of insurance must reflect that no exclusion exists.
Contractor agrees to waive its right of recovery against Railroad for all claims and suits against Railroad.
In addition, its insurers, through the terms of the policy or policy endorsement, waive their right of subrogation
against Railroad for all claims and suits. The certificate of insurance must reflect the waiver of subrogation
endorsement. Contractor further waives its right of recovery, and its insurers also waive their right of subrogation
against Railroad for loss of its owned or leased property or property under contractor's care, custody or control.
Contractor's insurance policies through policy endorsement, must include wording which states that the
policy is primary and non-contributing with respect to any insurance carried by Railroad. The certificate of
insurance must reflect that the above wording is included in evidenced policies.
All policy(ies) required above (excluding Workers Compensation and if applicable, Railroad Protective)
must include a severability of interest endorsement and Railroad must be named as an additional insured with
respect to work performed under this agreement. severability of interest and naming Railroad as additional insured
must be indicated on the certificate of insurance.
Contractor is not allowed to self-insure without the prior written consent of Railroad. If granted by
Railroad, any deductible, self-insured retention or other financial responsibility for claims must be covered directly
by contractor in lieu of insurance. Any and all Railroad liabilities that would otherwise, in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, be covered by contractor's insurance will be covered as if contractor elected not to
include a deductible, self-insured retention or other financial responsibility for claims.
Prior to commencing the Work, contractor must furnish to Railroad an acceptable certificate(s) of
insurance including an original signature of the authorized representative evidencing [he required coverage,
endorsements, and amendments and referencing the contract auditlfolder number if available. The policy(ies) must
contain a provision that obligates the insurance company(ies) issuing such policy(ies) to notify Railroad in writing
at least 30 days prior to any cancellation, non-renewal, substitution or material alteration. This cancellation
provision must be indicated on the certificate of insurance. Upon request from Railroad, a certified duplicate
original of any required policy must be furnished. Contractor should send the certificate(s) to the following address:
F,bix BPO
3
PO Box 12010-BN
Hemet. CA 92546-8010
Fax number: 951-766-2299
Any insurance policy must be written by a reputable insurance company acceptable to Railroad or with a
current Best's Guide Rating of A- and Class VII or better, and authorized to do business in the state(s) in which the
service is to be provide.
Contractor represents that this Agreement has been thoroughly reviewed by contractor's insurance
agent(s)/broker(s), who have been instructed by contractor to procure the insurance coverage required by this
Agreement. Allocated Loss Expense must be in addition to all policy limits for coverages referenced above.
Not more frequently than once every five years, Railroad may reasonably modify the required insurance coverage
to reflect then-current risk management practices in the railroad industry and underwriting practices in the insurance
industry.
If any portion of the operation is to be subcontracted by contractor, contractor must require that the
subcontractor provide and maintain the insurance coverages set forth herein, naming Railroad as an additional
insured, and requiring that the subcontractor release, defend and indemnify Railroad to the same extent and under
the same terms and conditions as contractor is required to release, defend and indemnify Railroad herein.
Failure to provide evidence as required by this section will entitle, but not require, Railroad to terminate
this Agreement immediately. Acceptance of a certificate that does not comply with this section will not operate as a
waiver of contractor's obligations hereunder.
The fact that insurance (including, without limitation, self-insurance) is obtained by contractor will not be
deemed to release or diminish the liability of contractor including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity
provisions of this Agreement. Damages recoverable by Railroad will not be limited by the amount of the required
insurance coverage.
For purposes of this section, Railroad means "Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation", "BNSF
RAILWAY COMPANY" and the subsidiaries, successors, assigns and affiliates of each.
Section 4. EXHIBIT "C" CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
The Contractor must observe and comply with all provisions, obligations, requirements and limitations
contained in the Contract, and the Contractor Requirements set forth on Exhibit "C" attached to the Contract and this
Agreement, ,including, but not be limited to, payment of all costs incurred for any damages to Railway roadbed,
tracks, and/or appurtenances thereto, resulting from use, occupancy, or presence of its employees, representatives, or
agents or subcontractors on or about the construction site.
Section 5. TRAIN DELAY
Contractor is responsible for and hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Railway (including its affiliated
railway companies, and its tenants) for, from and against all damages arising from any unscheduled delay to a
freight or passenger train which affects Railway's ability to fully utilize its equipment and to meet customer service
and contract obligations. Contractor will be billed, as further provided below, for the economic losses arising from
loss of use of equipment, contractual loss of incentive pay and bonuses and contractual penalties resulting from train
delays, whether caused by Contractor, or subcontractors, or by the Railway performing work under this Agreement.
Railway agrees that it will not perform any act to unnecessarily cause train delay.
For loss of use of equipment, Contractor will be billed the current freight train hour rate per train as
determined from Railway's records. Any disruption to train traffic may cause delays to multiple trains at the same
time for the same period.
Additionally, the parties acknowledge that passenger, U.S. mail trains and certain other grain, intermodal,
coal and freight trains operate under incentive/penalty contracts between Railway and its customer(s). Under these
azrangements, if Railway does not meet its contract service commitments, Railway may suffer loss of performance
or incentive pay and/or be subject to penalty payments. Contractor is responsible for any train performance and
incentive penalties or other contractual economic losses actually incurred by Railway which are attributable to a
train delay caused by Contractor or its subcontractors.
The contractual relationship between Railway and its customers is proprietary and confidential. In the
event of a train delay covered by this Agreement, Railway will share information relevant to any train delay to the
extent consistent with Railway confidentiality obligations. Damages for train delay are currently $382.20 per hour
per incident. THE RATE THEN IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF PERFORMANCE BY THE
CONTRACTOR HEREUNDER WILL BE USED TO CALCULATE THE ACTUAL COSTS OF TRAIN
DELAY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Contractor and its subcontractors must give Railway's representative Three (3) weeks advance
notice of the times and dates for proposed work windows. Railway and Contractor will establish mutually
agreeable work windows for the project. Railway has the right at any time to revise or change the work
windows due to train operations or service obligations. Railway will not be responsible for any additional
costs or expenses resulting from a change in work windows. Additional costs or expenses resulting From a
change in work windows shall be accounted for in Contractor's expenses for the project.
Contractor and subcontractors must plan, schedule, coordinate and conduct all Contractor's work so
as to not cause any delays to any trains.
Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter by signing and returning to the Railway two original copies of this
letter, which, upon execution by Railway, will constitute an Agreement between us.

BNSF Bridee Requirements
BRIDGE DESIGN, PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS:
Except for the design of temporary falsework and shoring, BNSF review of the Structure plans will be limited to the
vertical and horizontal cleazances, sight distance for existing train signals, foundation dimensions and drainage
characteristics as they relate to existing and future tracks. BNSF will not review structural design calculations for the
permanent Structure unless a member or members are influenced by railroad live loads.
Temporary falsework and shoring plans and calculations must be reviewed and approved by BNSF prior to
beginning construction. The Agency shall perform an independent review of the design calculations for temporary
falsework and shoring prior to submitting them to BNSF for approval. Temporary constmction cleazances must be
no less than 15 feet measured horizontally from the centerline of the nearest track and 21 feet-6inches measured
vertically from the top of rail of the most elevated track to the bottom of lowest temporary falsework member. State
regulatory agencies may have more restrictive requirements for temporary railroad clearances.
For the permanent Structure, the Agency will submit plans showing the least horizontal distance from the centerline
of existing and future tracks to the face of the neazest member of the proposed Structure. The location of the least
horizontal distance must be accurately described such that BNSF can determine where it will occur in both the
horizontal and vertical plane. If the permanent member is within 25 feet of the nearest track (or future track),
collision walls shall be incorporated into the permanent Structure design according to American Railway
Engineering and Maintenance Association Manual of Recommended Practice -Chapter 8 -Article 2.1.5.
For the permanent Structure, the Agency will submit plans showing the least vertical clearance from top of the most
elevated rail of existing and future tracks to the lowest point of the proposed Structure. A profile of the existing top
of rail elevation shall be plotted on the bridge plans. The profile shall extend for 500 feet in each direction of the
proposed overpass and a separate profile shall be plotted for each track. If the existing top of rail profile(s) is not
uniform such that a sag exists in the vicinity of the proposed Structure, the permanent Structure vertical cleazance
shall be increased sufficiently to accommodate a raise in the track profile to remove the sag. Prior to beginning
construction of the permanent Structure, the top of rail elevations should be checked and verified that they have not
changed from the assumed elevations utilized for the design of the bridge.
Prior to issuing any invitation to bid on construction of the Structure, the Agency should conduct apre-bid meeting
where prospective Contractors have the opportunity to communicate with BNSF personnel regarding site specific
train speeds, train density, and general safety requirements for men and equipment working near live tracks. Any
invitation to bid and specifications for the Structure must be submitted to BNSF for review and approval prior to
letting of bids for the Project.
BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION:
After awarding the bid, but prior to the Contractor entering BNSF's right-of -way or property, the Agency should
conduct apre-construction meeting with BNSF personnel in attendance to reiterate the safety requirements of
construction activity adjacent to live tracks.
During construction, BNSF may require an independent engineering inspector to be present during certain critical
activities of the Project, including but not limited to: driving foundation piles, erecting falsework, construction of
shoring and retaining walls, placing concrete, placing soil backfill and compaction processes. The Agency shall
reimburse BNSF for all costs of supplemental inspection services.
Within 90 days of the conclusion of the Project and fmal acceptance by BNSF, the Agency will provide BNSF with
a complete electronic set of the bridge plans labeled "As Built". Those plans will reflect any and all deviations from
Form 0105 Rev. 06/01/05
Form Approved by VP-Law
the original plans that occurred during construction. The "As Built" plans will be submitted in Micro Station *.dgn
electronic format (preferred) or AutoCAD *.dwg format. Electronic plans are to be submitted in the original format
used for CAD plan prepazation and not converted to another format prior to submission. Actual measured "as
constructed" clearances shall be shown as well as depth, size and location of all foundation components. The plans
shall show dimensioned locations of existing and relocated utilities.
BRIDGE MAINTENANCE:
The Agency will be responsible for maintenance and repair of the Structure including the earth retention
components, embankment slopes, erosion control, surface drainage, fencing, deck drains, landscaping, paint,
walkways, handrails, lighting, and other improvements associated with the Project.
Fencing and other pedestrian access controls within BNSF's right-of--way and incorporated into the Project shall be
designed and maintained by the Agency. Trespasser control shall be the responsibility of the Agency. Graffiti
removal will be the responsibility of the Agency.
BRIDGE INSPECTION:
The Agency will conduct annual routine structural inspections. In the event of an earthquake, fire, flood, damage
from vehicular impacts or other emergent situations, the Agency will provide an immediate inspection by qualified
personnel and notify BNSF of damage that may affect safe passage of trains. If necessary the Agency will embargo
weights or provide lane closures or other such measures to protect the structural integrity of the Structure such that
there can be continuous safe passage of trains until repairs are made.
BRIDGE ALTERATIONS:
Except as provided otherwise by this Agreement, there will be no alterations made to the Structure that will alter the
railroad vertical or horizontal clearances provided by the original design. Pipelines will be not be added or attached
to the Structure without first submitting plans and calculations to BNSF for review and approval.
