EXHIBIT B
CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK FLAGGING.
A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in
advance of Contractor commencing its work and at least ten (10) working days in advance of proposed
performance of any work by Contractor 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 Railroad'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 Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a
flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety
measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad
will 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. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills
within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other
special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not
relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
B. 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 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.
C. Reimbursement to Railroad 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
Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by
assignment of such flagman 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 flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is
not given, Contractor 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 Railroad if flagging services are needed
again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad.
Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED
A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right
and obligation of the Railroad to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of
Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks,
roadways, 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's property, and others) and the right of Railroad to renew and
extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment.
Section 3. NO INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATIONS OF RAILROAD AND ITS
TENANTS.
A. Contractor shall conduct its operations so as not to interfere with the continuous and
uninterrupted use and operation of the railroad tracks and property of Railroad, including without
limitation, the operations of Railroad's lessees, licensees or others, unless specifically authorized in
advance by the Railroad Representative. Nothing shall be done or permitted to be done by Contractor at
any time that would in any manner impair the safety of such operations. When not in use, Contractor's
machinery and materials shall be kept at least fifty (50) feet from the centerline of Railroad's nearest
track, and there shall be no vehicular crossings of Railroads tracks except at existing open public
crossings.
B. Operations of Railroad and work performed by Railroad personnel and delays in the work
to be performed by Contractor caused by such railroad operations and work are expected by Contractor,
and Contractor agrees that Railroad shall have no liability to Contractor, or any other person or entity for
any such delays. The Contractor shall coordinate its activities with those of Railroad and third parties so
as to avoid interference with railroad operations. The safe operation of Railroad train movements and
other activities by Railroad takes precedence over any work to be performed by Contractor.
Section 4. LIENS.
Contractor shall pay in full all persons who perform labor or provide materials for the work to be
performed by Contractor. Contractor shall not create, permit or suffer any mechanic's or materialmen's
liens of any kind or nature to be created or enforced against any property of Railroad for any such work
performed. Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Railroad from and against any and all liens,
claims, demands, costs or expenses of whatsoever nature in any way connected with or growing out of

be released of record, Railroad may, at its election, discharge the lien or claim of lien at Contractor's
expense.
Section 5. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS,
A. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on Railroad'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. Contractor shall telephone Railroad during normal
business hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, except 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 Railroad's property to be used by Contractor. If it is, Contractor will telephone the
telecommunications company(ies) involved, make arrangements for a cable locator and, if applicable, for
relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable. Contractor shall not commence any work until all
such protection or relocation (if applicable) has been accomplished.
B. In addition to other indemnity provisions in this Agreement, Contractor shall indemnify,
defend and hold Railroad harmless from and against all costs, liability and expense whatsoever
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs and expenses) arising out of any act or omission
of Contractor, its agents and/or employees, that causes or contributes to (1) any damage to or destruction
of any telecommunications system on Railroad'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 Railroad's property. Contractor shall not have or seek recourse against Railroad 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 Railroad's property or a customer or user of services of
the fiber optic cable on Railroad's property.
Section 6. PERMITS COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

necessary permits and shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and

uniformity with the safety standards followed by Railroad's own forces. As a part of Contractor's safety
responsibilities, Contractor shall notify Railroad if Contractor determines that any of Railroad's safety
standards are contrary to good safety practices. Contractor shall furnish copies of Exhibit D to each of its
employees before they enter the job site.
B. Without limitation of the provisions of paragraph A above, Contractor shall keep the job
site free from safety and health hazards and ensure that its employees are competent and adequately

D. If and when requested by Railroad, Contractor shall deliver to Railroad a copy of
Contractor's safety plan for conducting the work (the "Safety Plan Railroad shall have the right, but not

officers, agents or employees, or (iii) any breach of this agreement by Contractor.
B. The right to indemnity under this Section 8 shall accrue upon occurrence of the event
giving rise to the Loss, and shall apply regardless of any negligence or strict liability of any Indemnified
Party, except where the Loss is caused by the sole active negligence of an Indemnified Party as
established by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The sole active negligence of any
Indemnified Party shall not bar the recovery of any other Indemnified Party.

act or the Federal Employers' Liability Act against a party to this Agreement may be relied upon or used
by Contractor in any attempt to assert liability against Railroad.
E. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the completion of any work performed by
Contractor or the termination or expiration of this Agreement. In no event shall this Section 8 or any
other provision of this Agreement be deemed to limit any liability Contractor may have to any
Indemnified Party by statute or under common law.

move or disturb any of the other property of Railroad in connection with the work to be performed by
