shall inform Licensee if Safety Measures are required for performance of the work by Licensee or its
contractor on Railroad Property.If Safety Measures are required, no work of any kind may be performed
by Licensee or its contractor(s) until arrangements for the Safety Measures have been made and
scheduled. If no Safety Measures are required, Licensor will give Licensee written authorization to
commence work.
B. If any Safety Measures are performed or provided by Licensor, including but not limited
to flagging, Licensor shall 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

that Licensee is not relieved of any of responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.

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

construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, signal,
communication,fiber optics, or other wirelines, 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 Railroad without
liability to Contractor 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 Railroad Property) and the right of Railroad to renew and extend the
same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment. It shall be Contractor's sole
obligation to obtain such additional permission, license and grants necessary on account of any such
existing rights.
Section 2. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES.
A. Contractor is strictly prohibited from commencing any Work on Licensee's Facilities
without Railroad's written approval that the work will be in strict compliance with (i) the
"ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS" Section of the Railroad Agreement, and (ii) this
Exhibit B. Upon Railroad's approval, Contractor shall contact Railroad's Field Representatives at least
ten(10)days before commencement of any Work on Licensee's Facilities.
B. Contractor shall not commence any work until: (1) Railroad has determined whether
flagging or other special protective or safety measures ("Safety Measures") are required for performance
of the Work pursuant to the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B and provided Contractor written
authorization to commence the Work; and (2) Contractor has complied with the "PROTECTION OF
FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS" Section of this Exhibit B.
C. If, at any time, an emergency arises involving Licensee's Facilities, Contractor shall
immediately contact Railroad's Response Management Communications Center at(888) 877-7267.
Section 3. FLAGGING.
A. Following Contractor's notice to Railroad's Field Representatives required under the
"NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Railroad
shall inform Contractor if Safety Measures are required for performance of the Work. If Safety Measures
are required, no work of any kind may be performed by Contractor or its contractor(s) until arrangements
for the Safety Measures have been made and scheduled. If no Safety Measures are required,Railroad will
give Contractor written authorization to commence the Work.
B. If any Safety Measures are performed or provided by Railroad, including but not limited
to flagging, Railroad shall bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and
a federal, state, or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the
federal, state, or local governmental entity. Additional information regarding the submission of such
expenses by Railroad and payment thereof by Contractor can be found in the "CONTRACTOR'S
PAYMENT OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B. If Railroad performs any Safety Measures,
Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this
Agreement.
C. For flagging,the rate of pay per hour for each flagger will be the prevailing hourly rate in
effect for an eight-hour 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 Railroad 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, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable)
shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
D. Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during
which any flagger is furnished,unless the flagger 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 flagger is engaged in other railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not
actually worked by the flaggers following the flaggers' assignment to work on the project for which
Railroad is required to pay the flaggers and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by
assignment of such flaggers to other work,even though Contractor may not be working during such time.
When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in
compliance with union collective bargaining agreements,Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of
five(5)days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagger. If five(5)days notice of cessation is
not given,Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the days the flagger was scheduled,
even though flagging is no longer required for that period.An additional ten(10)days notice must then be
given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given
to Railroad.
Section 4. SAFETY.
A. Safety of personnel, property, rail operations and the public is of paramount importance
in the prosecution of any work on Railroad Property performed by Contractor,and takes precedence over
any Work on Licensee's Facilities to be performed by Contractor. Contractor shall be responsible for
initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety operations and programs in connection with any Work
on Licensee's Facilities. Contractor and its contractor shall, at a minimum comply, with Railroad's then
current safety standards located at the below web address ("Railroad's Safety Standards") to ensure
uniformity with the safety standards followed by Railroad's own forces. As a part of Contractor's safety
responsibilities, Contractor shall notify Railroad if it determines that any of Railroad's Safety Standards
are contrary to good safety practices. Contractor shall furnish copies of Railroad's Safety Standards to
each of its employees before they enter Railroad Property.

Contractor's or its contractor's Work on Licensee's Facilities. Contractor accepts this risk and agrees that

telephone Railroad during normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through

increased because of the location, construction, or maintenance of Licensee's Facilities or any
improvement, appliance, or fixture connected therewith placed upon such property, or on account of
Contractor's interest therein. Where such tax, charge, or assessment may not be separately made or
assessed to Contractor but shall be included in the assessment of the property of Railroad,then Contractor
shall pay to Railroad an equitable proportion of such taxes determined by the value of Contractor's
property upon property of Railroad as compared with the entire value of such property.
C. As set forth in the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B, Contractor shall have the
right, if it so elects,to provide any Safety Measures Railroad deems necessary for the safety of Railroad's
operations and trackage during Contractor's or its contractor's performance of the Work on Licensee's
Facilities, including, but not limited to supervision, inspection, and flagging services. In the event
