Section 1. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED.
A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and
obligation of the Licensor to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of
the Licensor to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate
railroad tracks, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other welines, pipelines and other
facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely
done at any time or times by the Licensor without liability to the Licensee or to any other party
for compensation or damages.
B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (including those in favor of
licensees and lessees of the Licensor's property, and others) and the right of the Licensor to renew
and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment.
Section 2. CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION.
A. The Pipeline shall be designed, constructed, operated, maintained, repaired, renewed, modified
and/or reconstructed by the Licensee in strict conformity with (i) Licensor's current standards and
specifications ("UP Specifications"), except for variances approved in advance in writing by the
Licensor's Assistant Vice President Engineering — Design, or his authorized representative; (ii)
such other additional safety standards as the Licensor, in its sole discretion, elects to require,
including, without limitation, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance -of --Way

and (iii) all applicable laws, rules and regulations ("Laws"). If there is any conflict between the
requirements of any Law and the UP Specifications or the UP Additional Requirements, the most
restrictive will apply.
B. All work performed on property of the Licensor in connection with the design, construction,
maintenance, repair, renewal, modification or reconstruction of the Pipeline shall be done to the
satisfaction of the Licensor.
C. Prior to the commencement of any work in connection with the design, construction,
maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation, reconstruction or removal of the Pipeline
from Licensor's property, the Licensee shall submit to the Licensor plans setting out the method
and manner of handling the work, including the shoring and cribbing, if any, required to protect
the Licensor's operations, and shall not proceed with the work until such plans have been
approved by the Licensor's Assistant Vice President Engineering Design, or his authorized
representative, and then the work shall be done to the satisfaction of the Licensor's Assistant Vice
President Engineering Design or his authorized representative. The Licensor shall have the right,
if it so elects, to provide such support as it may deem necessary for the safety of its track or tracks
during the time of construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation,
reconstruction or removal of the Pipeline, and, in the event the Licensor provides such support,
the Licensee shall pay to the Licensor, within fifteen (15) days after bills shall have been rendered
therefore, all expenses incurred by the Licensor in connection therewith, which expenses shall
include all assignable costs.
D. The Licensee shall keep and maintain the soil over the Pipeline thoroughly compacted and the
grade even with the adjacent surface of the ground.
E. In the prosecution of any work covered by this Agreement, Licensee shall secure any and all

Section 3. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK /LICENSOR REPRESENTATIVE
/ SUPERVISION / FLAGGING / SAFETY.
A. If an emergency should arise requiring immediate attention, the Licensee shall provide as much
notice as practicable to Licensor before commencing any work. In all other situations, the
Licensee shall notify the Licensor at least ten (10) days (or such other time as the Licensor may
allow) in advance of the commencement of any work upon property of the Licensor in connection
with the construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, reconstruction, relocation or
removal of the Pipeline. All such work shall be prosecuted diligently to completion. The
Licensee will coordinate its initial, and any subsequent work with the following employee of
Licensor or his or her duly authorized representative (hereinafter "Licensor Representative" or
"Railroad Representative"):
ROBERT FULLER MTM
101 MESQUITE STREET
ABILENE TX 79603
PHONE:
817-353-7020
FAX: 817-353-7013
B. Licensee, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all work to be performed. The
responsity of Licensee for safe conduct and adequate policing and supervision of work shall
not be lessened or otherwise affected by Licensor's approval of plans and specifications involving
the work, or by Licensor's collaboration in performance of any work, or by the presence at the
work site of a Licensor Representative, or by compliance by Licensee with any requests or
recommendations made by the Licensor Representative,
C. At the request of Licensor, Licensee shall remove from Licensor's property any employee who
fails to conform to the instructions of the Licensor Representative in connection with the work on
Licensor's property. Licensee shall indemnify Licensor against any claims arising from the
removal of any such employee from Licensor's property.
D. Licensee shall notify the Licensor Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of
proposed performance of any work in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five
(25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as,
but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work
of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s),
vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of
any of Licensor's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a railroad flagman is
provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such ten (10) day notice, the Licensor
Representative will determine and inform Licensor whether a flagman need be present and
whether any special protective or safety measures need to be implemented. If flagging or other
special protective or safety measures are performed by Licensor, Licensor will bill Licensee for
such expenses incurred by Licensor, unless Licensor and a federal, state or local governmental
entity have agreed that Licensor is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental
entity. If Licensor will be sending the bills to Licensee, Licensee shall pay such bills within thirty
(30) days of receipt of billing. If Licensor performs any flagging, or other special protective or
safety measures are performed by Licensor, Licensee agrees that Licensee is not relieved of any
of responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
E. The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an hour day day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in
accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In
addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare,
supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental
pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included,
computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in
effect at the time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid
for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays.
Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Licensor and its
employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized
governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or
additional charges are changed, Licensee (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on
the basis of the new rates and charges.
F. Reimbursement to Licensor will be required covering the full eight -hour day during which any
flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other railroad work during a portion
of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during
which the flagman is engaged in other railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for
any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the
project for which Licensor is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be
avoided by Licensor by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Licensee may not
be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Licensor to bulletin and assign an
employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements,
Licensee must provide Licensor a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the
need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Licensee will still be required
to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given
to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional ten (10) days
notice must then be given to Licensor if flagging services are needed again after such five day
cessation notice has been given to Licensor.
G. Safety of personnel, property, rail operations and the public is of paramount importance in the
prosecution of the work performed by Licensee or its contractor. Licensee shall be responsible
for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety, operations and programs in connection with
the work. Licensee and its contractor shall at a minimum comply with Licensor's safety standards
listed in Exhibit D. hereto attached, to ensure uniformity with the safety standards followed by
Licensor's own forces. As a part of Licensee's safety responsibilities, Licensee shall notify
Licensor if it determines that any of Licensor's safety standards are contrary to good safety
practices. Licensee and its contractor shall furnish copies of Exhibit D to each of its employees
before they enter the job site.
H. Without limitation of the provisions of paragraph G above, Licensee shall keep the job site free
from safety and health hazards and ensure that their employees are competent and adequately
trained in all safety and health aspects of the job.
I. Licensee shall have proper first aid supplies available on the job site so that prompt IS aid
services maybe provided to any person injured on the job site. Prompt notification shall be given
to Licensor of any U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration reportable injuries.
Licensee shall have a non -delegable duty to control its employees while they are on the job site
or any other property of Licensor, and to be certain they do not use, be under the influence of, or
have in their possession any alcoholic beverage, drug or other substance that may inhibit the safe
performance of any work.
J. If and when requested by Licensor, Licensee shall deliver to Licensor a copy of its safety plan for
conducting the work (the "Safety Plan"). Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
require Licensee to correct any deficiencies in the Safety Plan. The terms of this Agreement shall
control if there are any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Safety Plan,
Section 4. LICENSEE TO BEAR ENTIRE EXPENSE.
The Licensee shall bear the entire cost and expense incurred in connection with the design,
construction, maintenance, repair and renewal and any and all modification, revision, relocation, removal
or reconstruction of the Pipeline, including any and all expense which may be incurred by the Licensor in
connection therewith for supervision, inspection, flagging, or otherwise.
Section 5. REINFORCEMENT, RELOCATION OR REMOVAL OF PIPELINE.
A. The license herein granted is subject to the needs and requirements of the Licensor in the safe and
efficient operation of its railroad and in the improvement and use of its property. The Licensee
shall, at the sole expense of the Licensee, reinforce or otherwise modify the Pipeline, or move all
or any portion of the Pipeline to such new location, or remove the Pipeline from the Licensor's
property, as the Licensor may designate, whenever, in the furtherance of its needs and
requirements, the Licensor, at its sole election, finds such action necessary or desirable.
B. All the terms, conditions and stipulations herein expressed with reference to the Pipeline on
property of the Licensor in the location hereinbefore described shall, so far as the Pipeline
remains on the property, apply to the Pipeline as modified, changed or relocated within the
contemplation of this section.
Section 6. NO INTERFERENCE WITH LICENSOR'S OPERATION.
A. The Pipeline and all parts thereof within and outside of the limits of the property of the Licensor
shall be designed, constructed and, at all times, maintained, repaired, renewed and operated in
such manner as to cause no interference whatsoever with the constant, continuous and

cable, all at Licensee's expense, and will commence no work on the Licensor's property until all
such protection or relocation has been accomplished. Licensee shall indemnify and hold the

CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR ALLEGED LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE

to such property shall not be increased because of the location, construction or maintenance of the
Pipeline or any improvement, appliance or fixture connected therewith placed upon such
property, or on account of the Licensee's interest therein. Where such tax, charge or assessment
may not be separately made or assessed to the Licensee but shall be included in the assessment of
the property of the Licensor, then the Licensee shall pay to the Licensor an equitable proportion
of such taxes determined by the value of the Licensee's property upon property of the Licensor as
compared with the entire value of such property.
Section 9. RESTORATION OF LICENSOR'S PROPERTY.
In the event the Licensee in any manner moves or disturbs any of the property of the Licensor in
connection with the construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, reconstruction, relocation or
removal of the Pipeline, then in that event the Licensee shall, as soon as possible and at Licensee's sole
expense, restore such property to the same condition as the same were before such property was moved or
