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 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 the Licensor without liability to the Licensee or to any other party for compensation or damages. 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 Wireline 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 Association("AREMA") standards and guidelines (collectively, "UP Additional Requirements"), 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. All work performed on property of the Licensor in connection with the design, construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification or reconstruction of the Wireline shall be done to the satisfaction of the Licensor. B. If the Wireline is an existing one not conforming in its construction to the above provisions of this Section 2,the Licensee shall,within ninety(90)days after the date hereof,reconstruct it so as to conform therewith. C. The Wireline shall be designed, constructed, maintained and operated by the Licensee in such manner as not to be or constitute a hazard to aviation. With respect to the Wireline the Licensee, without expense to the Licensor, will comply with all requirements of law and of public authority, whether federal,state or local, including but not limited to aviation authorities. D. In the operation of the Wireline, the Licensee shall not transmit electric current at a difference of potential in excess of the voltage indicated on Exhibit A. If the voltage indicated is in excess of seven hundred fifty (750) volts, and the Wireline is, or is to be, buried at any location on the property of the Licensor outside track ballast sections or roadbed, the Licensee shall install metallic conduit, or non-metallic conduit encased in a minimum of three(3)inches of concrete with a minimum of four(4)feet of ground cover the entire length of the Wireline on the property of the Licensor. A Wireline buried by removal of the soil shall have, at a depth of one (1) foot beneath the surface of the ground directly above the Wireline, a six (6) inch wide warning tape bearing the warning, "Danger-High Voltage", or equivalent wording. A Wireline encased in conduit,jacked or bored under the property of the Licensor, must be identified by placing warning signs, to be installed and properly maintained at the expense of the Licensee, at each edge of the Licensor's property. The Licensee shall not utilize the signs in lieu of the warning tape where portions of the casing are installed by direct burial. E. Prior to the commencement of any work in connection with the design, construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation, reconstruction or removal of the Wireline, 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 Wireline, 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. F. The Licensee shall keep and maintain the soil over the Wireline thoroughly compacted and the grade even with the adjacent surface of the ground. G. In the prosecution of any work covered by this Agreement, Licensee shall secure any and all necessary permits and shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work including, without limitation, all applicable Federal Railroad Administration regulations. 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 Wireline. 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"): KEVIN F.DUFFY PATRICK S.PAYNE MGR SIGNAL MNTCE MGR TRACK MNTCE 77870 HERMISTON-HINKLE RD Suite 7 4315 E SPRAGUE AVE HERMISTON,OR 97838 SPOKANE, WA 99212 Cell Phone: 208 241-8196 Cell Phone: 402 682-1024 Internet Addr: kfduffy(aup.com Internet Addr: pspayne@up.com B. Licensee, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all work to be performed. The responsibility 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 Licensee 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 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. 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 and contractors and subcontractors 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 first aid services may be 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 Wireline, 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 WIRELINE. 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 Wireline, or move all or any portion of the Wireline to such new location, or remove the Wireline 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 Wireline on property of the Licensor in the location hereinbefore described shall, so far as the Wireline remains on the property, apply to the Wireline as modified, changed or relocated within the contemplation of this section. Section 6. NO INTERFERENCE WITH LICENSOR'S OPERATION. A. The Wireline 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 uninterrupted use of the tracks, property and facilities of the Licensor (including without limitation, its tracks, pole lines, communication lines, radio equipment, wayside and/or cab based train signal systems, advanced train control systems, positive train separation systems, and grade crossing systems), and nothing shall be done or suffered to be done by the Licensee at any time that would in any manner impair the safety thereof. B. In the operation and maintenance of the Wireline the Licensee shall take all suitable precaution to prevent any interference (by induction, leakage of electricity, or otherwise) with the operation of the signal, communication lines or other installations or facilities of the Licensor or of its tenants; and if, at any time, the operation or maintenance of the Wireline results in any electrostatic effects which the Licensor deems undesirable or harmful, or causes interference with the operation of the signal, communication lines or other installations or facilities, as now existing or which may hereafter be provided by the Licensor and/or its tenants, the Licensee shall, at the sole expense of the Licensee, immediately make such modifications or take such action as may be necessary to eliminate such interference. Licensee agrees to pay for any reasonable modifications, design changes, or increased costs that may be necessary now or in the future to ensure safe and reliable maintenance and operation of the facilities of Licensor and/or its tenants because of interference from the Wireline. C. Explosives or other highly flammable substances shall not be stored on Licensor's property without the prior written approval of Licensor. D. No additional vehicular crossings (including temporary Licensee haul roads) or pedestrian crossings over Licensor's trackage shall be installed or used by Licensee or its contractors without the prior written permission of Licensor. E. When not in use,anymachineryand materials of Licensee or its contractors shall be kept at p least fifty(50)feet from the centerline of Licensor's nearest track. F. Operations of Licensor and work performed by Licensor's personnel may cause delays in the work to be performed by Licensee. 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 shall coordinate its activities with those of Licensor and third parties so as to avoid interference with railroad operations. The safe operation of Licensor's train movements and other activities by Licensor take precedence over any work to be performed by Licensee. Section 7. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS. A. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on the Licensor's 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. Licensee shall telephone the Licensor during normal business hours(7:00 a.m.to 9:00 p.m. Central Time,Monday through Friday,except for holidays) at 1-800-336-9193 (also a 24-hour, 7-day number for emergency calls)to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on the Licensor's premises to be used by the Licensee. If it is, Licensee will telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, arrange for a cable locator, make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic 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 Licensor harmless from and against all costs, liability and expense whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs and expenses) arising out of or caused in any way by Licensee's failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph. B. IN ADDITION TO OTHER INDEMNITY PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE LICENSEE SHALL, AND SHALL CAUSE ITS CONTRACTOR TO, RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD THE LICENSOR HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL COSTS, LIABILITY AND EXPENSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS' FEES, COURT COSTS AND EXPENSES) CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE LICENSEE, ITS CONTRACTORS, AGENTS AND/OR EMPLOYEES, RESULTING IN (1) ANY DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF ANY TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM ON LICENSOR'S PROPERTY, AND/OR (2) ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON EMPLOYED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, AND/OR ITS CONTRACTOR, AGENTS AND/OR EMPLOYEES, ON LICENSOR'S PROPERTY, EXCEPT IF SUCH COSTS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSES ARE CAUSED SOLELY BY THE DIRECT ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE LICENSOR. LICENSEE FURTHER AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT HAVE OR SEEK RECOURSE AGAINST LICENSOR FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR ALLEGED LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR LOSS OF SERVICE OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE TO A TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY USING LICENSOR'S PROPERTY OR A CUSTOMER OR USER OF SERVICES OF THE FIBER OPTIC CABLE ON LICENSOR'S PROPERTY. Section 8. CLAIMS AND LIENS FOR LABOR AND MATERIAL; TAXES. A. The Licensee shall fully pay for all materials joined or affixed to and labor performed upon property of the Licensor in connection with the construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification or reconstruction of the Wireline, 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 the Licensee. The Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Licensor against and from any and all liens, claims, demands, costs and expenses of whatsoever nature in any way connected with or growing out of such work done, labor performed,or materials furnished. B. The Licensee shall promptly pay or discharge all taxes, charges and assessments levied upon, in respect to, or on account of the Wireline, to prevent the same from becoming a charge or lien upon property of the 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 the Wireline 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 Wireline, then in that event the Licensee shall, as soon as possible and at Licensee's sole expense, restore property to the same condition as the same were in before such property was moved or disturbed, and the Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Licensor, its officers, agents and employees, against and from any and all liability, loss, damages, claims, demands, costs and expenses of whatsoever nature, including court costs and attorneys' fees, which may result from injury to or death of persons whomsoever, or damage to or loss or destruction of property whatsoever, when such injury, death, damage, loss or destruction grows out of or arises from the moving or disturbance of any property of the Licensor. Section 10. INDEMNITY. A. As used in this Section, "Licensor" includes other railroad companies using the Licensor's property at or near the location of the Licensee's installation and their officers, agents, and employees; "Loss" includes loss,damage,claims,demands,actions,causes of action,penalties,costs,and expenses of whatsoever nature,including court costs and attorneys' fees, which may result from: (a)injury to or death of persons whomsoever(including the Licensor's officers, agents, and employees, the Licensee's officers, agents, and employees, as well as any other person); and/or (b) damage to or loss or destruction of property whatsoever (including Licensee's property, damage to the roadbed, tracks, equipment, or other property of the Licensor, or property in its care or custody). B. AS A MAJOR INDUCEMENT AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE LICENSE AND PERMISSION HEREIN GRANTED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSEE SHALL, AND SHALL CAUSE ITS CONTRACTOR TO, RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE LICENSOR FROM ANY LOSS OF ANY KIND, NATURE OR DESCRIPTION ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO (IN WHOLE OR IN PART): 1.

ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF LICENSEE OR LICENSEE'S OFFICERS, AGENTS, INVITEES, EMPLOYEES, OR CONTRACTORS OR ANYONE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY EMPLOYED BY ANY OF THEM, OR ANYONE THEY CONTROL OR EXERCISE CONTROL OVER; OR 6. LICENSEE'S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT WHERE THE LOSS IS CAUSED BY THE SOLE DIRECT AND ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE LICENSOR,AS DETERMINED IN A FINAL JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, IT BEING THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES THAT THE ABOVE INDEMNITY WILL OTHERWISE APPLY TO LOSSES CAUSED BY OR ARISING FROM, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,LICENSOR'S NEGLIGENCE. C.
