AGREEMENTS
In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter set forth, and
for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Conveyance of the Exchange Properties.
A. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (i) on the
First Closing Date (as defined in the Relocation Agreement), City agrees to convey the
Page 2
Exchange Agreement
20130531 Alliance Exchange Agreement (14)_For Execution.doc
1090.010�28682.3
= City Property to BNSF, and (ii) on the Second Closing Date (as defined in the
Relocation Agreement), BNSF agrees to convey the BNSF Property to City.
B. The City Property will be conveyed by City to BNSF by either (i) a Deed
Without Warranty (as to the owned tracts) (herein, a"Deed"), or (ii) an Assignment and
Assumption of Easement (as to the tracts for which City owns only easement rights)
(herein, an "Assignment"), free and clear of all Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined)
except the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).
C. The BNSF Property will be conveyed by BNSF to City by either Deed (as
to the owned tracts) or Assignment (as to the tracts for which BNSF owns only
easement rights), free and clear of all Encumbrances except the Permitted Exceptions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, however,
City acknowledges and affirms that BNSF does not hold fee simple title to all of the
BNSF Property and that BNSF's interest in all or part of the BNSF Property may rise
only to the level of an easement for railroad purposes. City is willing to accept BNSF's
interests in the BNSF Property, if any, on this basis.
D. Each Transferee agrees to release the Transferor from any and all claims,
liabilities and damages of any kind concerning the interests in the Exchange Properties
it is receiving from the Transferor under this Agreement, and agrees that the Transferee
shall bear full responsibility for costs of remediating or managing any Hazardous
Substances (defined below) located in, on or under the Exchange Properties it is
receiving in violation of Environmental Laws (defined below). The provisions of this
paragraph shall specifically survive the closing of this transaction and shall be binding
on the successors and assigns of each party.
Section 2. Title Matters.
A. BNSF and City each acknowledge that in accordance with Section 10 of
the Relocation Agreement, BNSF and City have received the Property Information (as
defined in the Relocation Agreement) for the City Property and the BNSF Property,

opportunity to deliver but have elected not to deliver) written Objections (as defined in
the Relocation Agreement) to such Property Information. However, as of the date
hereof, not all Objections have been cured. Each party agrees to use commercially
reasonable and diligent efforts to cure any Objections it has agreed (or is deemed to
have agreed) to cure, and in any event shall cure such Objections prior to (and as a
condition ofl the First Closing (as to the City Property) and the Second Closing (as to
the BNSF Property).
B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event
will any monetary liens or other monetary Encumbrances (including, but not limited to
one or more mortgages of BNSF or its predecessors) affecting the Exchange Properties
be Permitted Exceptions. Pursuant to Section 10.b.(2) of the Relocation Agreement,
BNSF shall, at BNSF's option, either (i) cause to be removed or cured all monetary liens
and monetary Encumbrances affecting the BNSF Property, or (ii) indemnify City, Title
Company and its underwriter from any liability for any such monetary liens and
monetary Encumbrances affecting the BNSF Property such that Title Company will
issue an Owner's Title Policy to City that does not include any monetary liens or
monetary Encumbrances. The cost to BNSF to cure and/or indemnify against monetary
liens and monetary Encumbrances shall be paid by BNSF and shall not be part of the
BNSF Relocation Cost or otherwise part of the BNSF Consideration (as such terms are
defined in the Relocation Agreement).
C. For purposes of this Agreement, "Encumbrances" shall be defined as all
liens, claims, easements, rights-of-way, reservations, restrictions, encroachments,
tenancies, leases and any other encumbrances of whatsoever nature affecting the
Exchange Properties. "Permitted Exceptions" shall have the same meaning as is set
out in the Relocation Agreement.

CONSENT HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize the Execution of an Agreement with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway in an
Amount Up to $95,000,000.00 for the Design and Construction of the Relocated Railroad
Mainline and Connector Track and Conveyance of Right-of-Way to the City for the Alliance
Fort Worth Airport Runway Extension Project (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway in an amount up to $95,000,000.00 for the design and
construction of the relocated railroad mainline and connector track and conveyance of right of way to
the City for the Alliance Airport Runway Extension Project.
DISCUSSION:
On September 18, 1992, (M&C C-13529) the City Council approved an Agreement with Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) for right of way acquisition, design and construction of a
relocated mainline and connector track and conveyance of right of way to the City to allow for the Fort
Worth Alliance Airport Runway Extension. Due to the unavailability of funds at that time the project
was not completed.
Commencing in 2001, the Federaf Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a series of annual grants
for the Runway Extension Project. In addition, funding from other sources including Tarrant County
Bond Funds, a United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) earmark and State Highway
121 Toll Road Funds as approved by the Regional Transportation Commission have allowed this
project to move forward. Sufficient funds are now available to move forward with the railroad
relocation portion of the project. The Agreement between BNSF and the City requires the City to
acquire the necessary right-of-way for the relocated mainline and connector track and for BNSF to
design and construct the relocated mainline and connector track. BNSF will be reimbursed for the
cost of design and construction. Upon completion of the relocated mainline and connector track
BNSF will convey certain portions of the abandoned mainline to the City.
The funding sources will be a combination of the Texas Department of Transportation Advanced
Funding Agreement ($80,000,000.00) and FAA Discretionary Grants (up to $51,300,000.00).
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, Mapsco 7P
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated, of the Airports Grant Fund.
