GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 1. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED
A. The foregoing grant is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and
obligation of Licensor to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Licensor to
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 Licensor without
liability to 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 Railroad Property) and the right of Licensor to renew and extend the same,
and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment. It shall be Licensee's sole obligation to obtain
such additional permission, license and grants necessary on account of any such existing rights.
Section 2. ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS.
A. Licensee's Facilities will be designed, constructed, operated, maintained, repaired,
renewed, modified, reconstructed, removed, or abandoned in place on Railroad Property by Licensee or its
contractor to Licensor's satisfaction and in strict conformity with: (i) Licensor's current engineering
standards and specifications, including those for shoring and cribbing to protect Licensor's railroad
operations and facilities ("UP Specifications"), except for variances approved in advance in writing by
Licensor's Assistant Vice President Engineering — Design or its authorized representative
("UP Engineering Representative"); (ii) such other additional safety standards as Licensor, in its sole
discretion, elects to require, including, without limitation, American Railway Engineering and
Maintenance -of -Way Association ("AREMA") standards and guidelines (collectively, "UP Additional
Requirements"); and (iii) all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including any applicable Federal
Railroad Administration and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulations and enactments
(collectively, "Laws"). If there is any conflict between UP Specifications, UP Additional Requirements,
and Laws, the most restrictive will apply.
B. Licensee shall keep the soil over Licensee's Facilities thoroughly compacted, and maintain
the grade over and around Licensee's Facilities even with the surface of the adjacent ground.
C. If needed, Licensee shall secure, at Licensee's sole cost and expense, any and all necessary
permits required to perform any work on Licensee's Facilities.
Section 3. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES.
A. Licensee and its contractors are strictly prohibited from commencing any work associated
with Licensee's Facilities without Licensor's written approval that the work will be in strict compliance with
the "ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS; PERMITS" Section of this Exhibit B. Upon Licensor's approval,
Licensee shall contact both of Licensor's field representatives ("Licensor's Field Representatives") at least
ten (10) days before commencement of any work on Licensee's Facilities.
B. Licensee shall not commence any work until: (1) Licensor 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 Licensee written authorization to
commence work; and (2) Licensee 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, Licensee or its
contractor shall immediately contact Licensor's Response Management Communications Center at
(888) 877-7267.
Section 4. FLAGGING.
A. Following Licensee's notice to Licensoe's Field Representatives required under the
"NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor
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 federal,
state, or local governmental entity. Additional information regarding the submission of such expenses by
Licensor and payment thereof by Licensee can be found in the "LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES"
Section of this Exhibit B. If Licensor performs any Safety Measures, Licensee agrees that Licensee 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 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.
D. Reimbursement to Licensor 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 Licensor is required to pay
the flaggers and which could not reasonably be avoided by Licensor by assignment of such flaggers 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 flagger. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Licensee 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 Licensor if flagging services are needed
again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Licensor.
Section 5. 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 Licensee or its contractor, and takes
precedence over any work on Licensee's Facilities to be performed Licensee or its contractors. Licensee
shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety operations and programs in
connection with any work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee and its contractor shall, at a minimum comply,
with Licensor's then current safety standards located at the below web address ("Licensor's Safety
Standards") 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
Licensor's Safety Standards to each of its employees before they enter Railroad Property.

B. Licensee shall keep the job site on Railroad Property free from safety and health hazards
and ensure that their employees are competent and adequately trained in all safety and health aspects of the
work.
C. Licensee agrees that Licensee's Facilities and all parts thereof within and outside of the
limits of Railroad Property will not interfere whatsoever with the constant, continuous, and uninterrupted
use of the tracks, property, and facilities of Licensor, and nothing shall be done or suffered to be done by
Licensee at any time that would in any manner impair the safety thereof.
D. Licensor's operations and work performed by Licensor's personnel may cause delays in
Licensee's or its contractor's work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee accepts this risk and agrees that
Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee or any other person or entity for any such delays. Licensee must
coordinate any work on Railroad Property by Licensee or any third party with Licensor's Field
Representatives in strict compliance with the "NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK;
EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B.
E. Licensor shall have the right, if it so elects, to provide any support it deems necessary for
the safety of Licensor's operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction,
maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation, reconstruction, or removal of Licensee's Facilities.
In the event Licensor provides such support, Licensor shall invoice Licensee, and Licensee shall pay
Licensor as set forth in the "LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B.
Licensor will give as much notice as is feasible recognizing such costs must by authorized by Licensee's
City Council and funds must be appropriated.
F. Licensee may use unmanned aircraft systems ("UAS") to inspect Licensee's Facilities only
upon the prior authorization from and under the direction of Licensor's Field Representatives. Licensee
agrees that its use of UAS on Railroad Property will comply with Licensor's then -current Unmanned Aerial
Systems Policy and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including any applicable Federal Aviation
Administration regulations and enactments pertaining to UAS.
Section 6. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS
Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on Railroad Property. Protection of the fiber optic cable
systems is of extreme importance since any break could disrupt service to users resulting in business
interruption and loss of revenue and profits. In addition to the notifications required under the "NOTICE
OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensee shall visit
up.com/CBUD to complete and submit the required form to determine if fiber optic cable is buried
anywhere on Railroad Property to be used by Licensee. If it is, Licensee shall telephone the
telecommunications company(ies) involved, and arrange for a cable locator, make arrangements for
relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable, all at Licensee's expense, and will not commence any
work on Railroad Property until all such protection or relocation has been completed.
Section 7. LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.
A. Licensee shall bear the entire cost and expense of the design, construction, maintenance,
modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities.
B. Licensee shall fully pay for all materials joined, affixed to and labor performed on Railroad
Property in connection with the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal,
revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, and shall not permit or suffer any mechanic's or
materialman's lien of any kind or nature to be enforced against the property for any work done or materials
furnished thereon at the instance or request or on behalf of Licensee. Licensee shall promptly pay or
discharge all taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon, in respect to, or on account of Licensee's
Facilities, to prevent the same from becoming a charge or lien upon any property of Licensor, and so that
the taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon or in respect to such property shall not be 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 Licensee's interest therein. Where
such tax, charge, or assessment may not be separately made or assessed to Licensee but shall be included
in the assessment of the property of Licensor, then Licensee shall pay to Licensor an equitable proportion
of such taxes determined by the value of Licensee's property upon property of Licensor as compared with
the entire value of such property.
C. As set forth in the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor shall have the right,
if it so elects, to provide any Safety Measures Licensor deems necessary for the safety of Licensoe's
operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction, maintenance, modification,
reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, including, but not
limited to supervision, inspection, and flagging services. In the event Licensor provides such Safety
Measures, Licensor shall submit an itemized invoice to Licensee's notice recipient listed in the "NOTICES"
Article of this Agreement. Licensee shall pay to Licensor the total amount listed on such invoice within
thirty (30) days of Licensee's receipt of such invoice. Licensor will give as much notice as is feasible
recognizing such costs must by authorized by Licensee's City Council and funds must be appropriated.
Section 8. MODIFICATIONS TO LICENSEE'S FACILITIES.

use and improvement of Railroad Property (collectively, "Railroad's Use"). Accordingly, Licensee shall,
at its sole cost and expense, modify, reconstruct, repair, renew, revise, relocate, or remove (individually,
"Modification", or collectively, "Modifications") all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities as Licensor may
designate or identify, in its reasonable discretion, in the furtherance of Railroad's Use.
B. Upon any Modification of all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities to another location on
Railroad Property, Licensor and Licensee shall execute a Supplemental Agreement to this Pipeline
Agreement to document the Modification(s) to Licensee's Facilities on Railroad Property. If the
Modifications result in Licensee's Facilities moving off of Railroad Property, this Agreement will terminate
upon Licensee's completion of such Modification(s) and all requirements contained within the
"TERMINATION; REMOVAL OF LICENSEE'S FACILITIES" Section of this Exhibit B. Any such
Modification(s) off of Railroad Property will not release Licensee fi-orn any liability or other obligation of
Licensee arising prior to and upon completion of any such Modifications to the Licensee's Facilities.
Section 9. RESTORATION OF RAILROAD PROPERTY.
In the event Licensee, in any manner moves or disturbs any property of Licensor in connection with
the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or
removal of Licensee's Facilities, then, Licensee shall, as soon as possible and at Licensee's sole cost and
