deems appropriate, provided Grantor uses all commercially reasonable efforts to
avoid material interference with the use of the Easement Area by Grantee for the
purpose specified in this Easement. 
5.     GRANTEE'S OPERATIONS 
5.1   Grantee shall notify Grantor's, Property Manager at (206) 787-3630, and the Rail

Easement Area without prior notice and shall provide notice to Grantor and Rail Operator
thereafter as soon as reasonably practicable.
5.2   In performing any work permitted under this Easement, Grantee shall use only
public roadways. Grantee shall obtain Grantor's and Rail Operator's approval before traveling

investigations or any other activity using mechanized equipment and/or machinery, or place or
store any mechanized equipment, tools or other materials, within twenty-five (25) feet of the
centerline of any railroad track on the Easement Area unless Grantee has obtained prior written
approval from Grantor and the Rail Operator. Grantee shall, at its sole cost and expense,
perform all activities on and about the Easement Area in such a manner as not at any time to be a
source of danger to or interference with the existence or use of present or future tracks, roadbed
or property of Grantor, or the safe operation and activities of Grantor or Rail Operator. If
ordered to cease using the Easement Area at any time by Grantor or Rail Operator's personnel
due to any hazardous condition, Grantee shall immediately do so.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties agree that Grantor has no duty or obligation to monitor Grantee's use of the
3

Easement Area to determine the safe nature thereof, it being solely Grantee's responsibility to
ensure that Grantee's use of the Easement Area is safe. Neither the exercise nor the failure by
Grantor to exercise any rights granted in this Section will alter the liability allocation provided
by this Easement. 
5.5    Grantee shall, at its sole cost and expense, construct and at all times maintain the
FIBER OPTIC LINE in accordance with the National Electric Code. Grantee's use of a rail
mounted cable plow to install Grantee's FIBER OPTIC LINE is strictly prohibited unless
advance written approval is granted by Grantor 
5.6   Grantee shall, at its sole cost and expense, construct and maintain the FIBER
OPTIC LINE in such a manner and of such material that it will not at any time be a source of
danger to or interference with the existence or use of present or future tracks, roadbed or
property of Grantor, or the safe operation and activities of Grantor and Rail Operator. Grantor
and/or the Rail Operator may direct one of its field engineers to observe or inspect the
construction and/or maintenance of the FIBER OPTIC LINE at any time for compliance with the
Drawings and Specifications. If ordered at any time to halt construction or maintenance of the
FIBER OPTIC LINE by Grantor or Rail Operator's personnel due to non-compliance with the
same or any other hazardous condition, Grantee shall immediately do so. Notwithstanding the
foregoing right of Grantor, the parties agree that Grantor has no duty or obligation to observe or
inspect, or to halt work on, the FIBER OPTIC LINE, it being solely Grantee's responsibility to
ensure that the FIBER OPTIC LINE is constructed in strict accordance with the Drawings and
Specifications and in a safe and workmanlike manner in compliance with all terms hereof.
Neither the exercise nor the failure by Grantor to exercise any right granted by this Section will
alter in any way the liability allocation provided by this Easement. If at any time Grantee shall,
in the sole judgment of Grantor, fail to properly perform its obligations under this Section,
Grantor may, at its option and at Grantee's sole expense,arrange for the performance of such
work as it deems necessary for the safety of its operations and activities. Grantee shall promptly
reimburse Grantor for all costs and expenses of such work, upon receipt of an invoice for the

allocation hereunder. 
5.7    During the construction and any subsequent maintenance performed on the
FIBER OPTIC LINE, Grantee shall perform such work in a manner to preclude damage to the
property of Grantor or that of the Rail Operator, and preclude interference with the Rail Operator
operations. The construction of the FIBER OPTIC LINE shall be completed by within ninety
(90) days of the Effective Date. Upon completion of the construction of the FIBER OPTIC
LINE and after performing any subsequent maintenance thereon, Grantee shall, at Grantee's own
cost and expense, restore the Easement Area to its former state as of the Effective Date of this
Easement.

Easement Area in such a manner as would, in Grantor's reasonable opinion, be interfered with by
the FIBER OPTIC LINE, Grantee shall, at its sole expense, within thirty (30) days after
receiving written notice from Grantor to such effect, relocate the FIBER OPTIC LINE (such
relocation to include, without limitation, the construction of a new FIBER OPTIC LINE) within
the Easement Area or other area within Grantor's rail corridor that Grantor determines is
available. Any such relocation of Grantee's FIBER OPTIC LINE shall be as Grantor, in
4

Grantor's sole discretion, may determine necessary to avoid interference with Grantor's 
proposed use of the Easement Area. In the event Grantor determines that the FIBER OPTIC
LINE cannot be relocated or reconstructed within the Easement Area or moved to another area
within Grantor's rail corridor, Grantor reserves the right to terminate this Easement by providing
Grantee with one hundred and twenty (120) days written notice of such termination. 
5.9   Prior to Grantee conducting any boring work on or about any portion of the
Easement Area, Grantee shall explore the proposed location for such work with hand tools to a
depth of at least three (3)  feet below the surface of the ground to determine whether
pipelines or other structures exist below the surface, provided, however, that in lieu of the
foregoing, the Grantee shall have the right to use suitable detection equipment or other generally
accepted industry practice (e.g., consulting with the Underground Services Association) to
determine the existence or location of pipelines and other subsurface structures prior to drilling
or excavating with mechanized equipment. Grantee's operations will be subject at all times to
the liability provisions herein. 
5.10  For all bores greater than 26-inch diameter and at a depth less than 10.0 feet
below bottom of rail, a soil investigation will need to be performed by the Grantee and reviewed
by Grantor prior to construction. This study is to determine if granular material is present, and to
prevent subsidence during the installation process. If the investigation determines in Grantor's
reasonable opinion that granular material is present, Grantor may select a new location for
Grantee's use, or may require Grantee to furnish for Grantor's review and approval, in Grantor's 
sole discretion, a remedial plan to deal with the granular material. Once Grantor has approved
any such remedial plan in writing, Grantee shall, at its sole cost and expense, carry out the
approved plan in accordance with all terms thereof and hereof. 
5.11  Any open hole, boring, or well-constructed on the Easement Area by Grantee
shall be safely covered and secured at all times when Grantee is not working in the actual
vicinity thereof.  Following completion of that portion of the work, all holes or borings
constructed on the Easement Area by Grantee shall be: 
(a)    filled in to surrounding ground level with compacted bentonite grout; or 
(b)    otherwise  secured  or  retired  in  accordance  with  any  applicable  Legal
Requirement. No excavated materials may remain on Grantor's property for more
than ten (10) days, but must be properly disposed of by Grantee in accordance
with applicable Legal Requirements. 

5.12  Upon termination of this Easement, Grantee shall, at its sole cost and expense:
(a)    remove the FIBER OPTIC LINE  and all appurtenances thereto at the sole
discretion of the Grantor; 
(b)    report and restore any damage to the Easement Area arising from, growing out of,
or connected with Grantee's use of the Easement Area; 

5

(c)    remedy any unsafe conditions on the Easement Area created or aggravated by
Grantee; and 
(d)    leave the Easement Area in the condition which existed as of the Effective Date of
