Exhibit 2, and simultaneously documenting Minturri's rights and obligations with the Easement

document such crossings with the form of (i) Public Highway At -Grade Crossing Agreement
(Railroad Avenue, U.S. DOT No. 253531 V), attached hereto as Exhibit 4 ("Railroad Avenue
Crossing"), and (ii) Public Highway At -Grade Crossing Agreement (Eagle County Road 14, U.S.
DOT No. 253532C), attached hereto as Exhibit 5 ("Eagle County Road 14 Crossing") (collectively,
"Crossing Agreements"). The Easement Termination, the Minturn Road Easement, and the
Crossing Agreements may hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "Easement Agreements".
C. UP is currently under contract with a third party to sell an 18.95-acre tract of land
adjacent to the Minturn Road Easement ("Transaction"), and the parties desire for such Easement
Agreements to be recorded upon the closing of the Transaction.
AGREEMENT:
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Escrow and Recordation. Within five (5) days of the Effective Date, UP will open
Escrow with Land Title Guarantee Company, 0090 Benchmark Road #205, Avon, Colorado 81620
("Title Company"), and the parties will deliver executed originals of the Easement Agreements
to the Title Company within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date with instructions to Title
Company to hold the same in escrow in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The
parties will execute a commercially reasonable escrow agreement if required by the Title
Company. The Title Company shall be instructed that simultaneously with the closing of the
Transaction, the Title Company shall:
(i) Record the Easement Termination in the land records of Eagle County,
Colorado ("County Records"), and deliver to UP;
(ii) Record the Minturn Road Easement in the County Records and deliver to
Minturn; and
(iii) Record the form of Easement Deed for both the Railroad Avenue Crossing
and the Eagle County Road 14 Crossing, the form of which is attached to
its respective Crossing Agreement, in the County Records and deliver to
Minturn.
2. Closing Costs. All closing costs, including, but not limited to escrow and recording
fees, will be paid by UP.
3. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same

and reviewed by Minturn and the County and their professional advisors. UP, Minturn, the County,
and their separate advisors believe this Agreement is the product of all of their efforts, that it
expresses their agreement, and that it should not be interpreted in favor of or against any party
merely because of their efforts in preparing it.
6. Legal Fees. If a dispute arises under this Agreement between the parties and the
matter is turned over to an attorney, the prevailing party in the dispute will be awarded by the court
or arbitrator its reasonable attorneys" fees and costs, in addition to its other damages and costs.
7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE,
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THEM AGAINST THE

EASEMENT DEED
FOR MINTURN ROAD AND RAILROAD AVENUE
This EASEMENT DEED FOR MINTURN ROAD AND RAILROAD AVENUE
("Easement Deed") is made this day of 2023, between UNION
PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, a Delaware corporation ("Grantor"), and the TOWN OF
MINTURN, a municipal corporation or political subdivision of the State of Colorado
("Grantee"), whose address is 301 Boulder St., #309, Minturn, Colorado 81645.
Grantor, for and in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other
valuable consideration, to it paid by Grantee, the receipt whereof is hereby confessed and
acknowledged, grants to Grantee, its successors and assigns, a non-exclusive easement
("Easement"), for the purpose of constructing, using, maintaining, repairing, renewing and
reconstructing a public roadway, sidewalk, and utilities (collectively, "Easement Improvements")
on, along, across and under certain property in Eagle County, State of Colorado, described and
depicted in Exhibits A-1, A-2, and A-3, each of which are attached and by reference made a part
hereof (collectively, the "Easement Area") for access to Grantee's adjacent property.
The Easement is granted for the purpose described above only; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Grantee is prohibited from using the Westerly twenty-five feet (25') of that
certain portion of the Easement Area described and depicted in Exhibit A-2 for sidewalk or
pedestrian/bike trail purposes. The Easement is in gross and personal to Grantee, and may not be
assigned, in whole or in part, without Grantor's prior written consent, which may be withheld in
Grantor's sole discretion. Grantee may grant licenses and sub easements in the Easement Area for
utilities. Prior to granting a license or sub easement, Grantee shall provide Grantor with
information and a plan set showing the proposed location and configuration of the proposed license
or sub easement agreement and allow Grantor fourteen (14) days to provide written comments.
Any use of the Easement by Grantee or Grantee's licensees and sub easement holders shall be
coordinated with Grantor to ensure that such use will not harm or frustrate Grantor's then existing
use(s) of the Easement Area.
Grantor, its successors and assigns, reserves the right to construct and to maintain
at any and all times, fiber optic or signal lines and facilities, pipe, telephone, and electric pole and
wire lines, over, under and across the Easement Area, but in such a way as to not unreasonably
interfere with Grantee's use of the Easement; it being understood that the rights so reserved by
Grantor, its successors and assigns, are retained along with the general right of Grantor, its
successors and assigns, to use of the Easement Area for any purpose not inconsistent with Grantee's
use of the Easement. Prior to installing any new use within the Easement Area or repairing or
reconstructing an existing use, Grantor shall provide Grantee with information and a plan set
showing the proposed location and configuration of the proposed use and allow Grantee fourteen
(14) days to provide written comments. Any use of the Easement by Grantor or Grantor's licensees
shall be coordinated with Grantee to ensure that such use will not harm or frustrate Grantee's use
of the Easement, and that any damage to the Easement Improvements caused by the activities of
Grantor or Grantor's licensees are repaired and replaced to as substantially similar of a condition
that existed before any work was undertaken.
Any notices required or desired to be given under this Easement Deed shall be in
writing and personally served, given by overnight express delivery, or given by mail. Any notice
given by mail shall be sent, postage prepaid, by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed
to the party to receive at the following address or at such other address as the party may from time
to time direct in writing:
Grantor: UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
ATTN: Gregg A. Larsen, Senior Manager -Real Estate
1400 Douglas Street, Mail Stop 1690

301 Boulder St, Suite # 309
Minturn, Colorado 81645
Telephone: (970) 827-5645, Extension No. 8
Email: manager@minturii.org
The Easement is granted subject to all outstanding leases, licenses and other
outstanding rights, including, without limitation, those for pipe, telephone, electric and fiber optic
lines and the right of renewals and extensions of the same, and subject also to all conditions,
limitations, restrictions, encumbrances, reservations or interests of any person that may affect the
Easement Area, whether recorded or unrecorded.
The Easement is also limited to such rights as Grantor may have in the Easement
Area and is granted without warranty, express or implied. No damages shall be recoverable from
Grantor because of any dispossession of Grantee or because of failure of, or defect in, Grantor's
title.
Grantee shall maintain and repair the Easement Improvements consistent with the
requirements of Colorado law. Grantee shall also maintain and repair such Easement Improvements
in such manner not to cause any interference with Grantor's tracks and appurtenances or rail
operations, or the facilities or access rights of utility companies or other occupants of the Easement
Area. If Grantee fails to perform its maintenance obligations and continues in default in the
performance of any provision of this Easement Deed for a period of sixty (60) days after written
notice from Grantor to Grantee specifying such default, Grantor may, at its sole discretion, initiate
an action in the District Court of Eagle County to enforce this Easement Deed.
To the extent it may lawfully do so and subject to the conditions and limitations
imposed by the Taxpayer Bill of Rights in the Colorado Constitution, Grantee shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Grantor and its affiliates, its and their officers, agents,
employees, successors or assigns (the "Indemnitees"), against and from any and all liability
(including, without limitation, strict, consequential or punitive damages), claims, demands,
actions, causes of action, costs and expenses of whatsoever nature including, without
limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees, arising from Grantee's performance of its
obligations described herein, except to the extent caused by the negligence or intentional
conduct of the Indemnitees. The term "affiliate" (or "affiliates" as the case may be) as used
in this Easement Deed means any corporation which directly or indirectly controls, or is
controlled by, or is under common control with Grantor. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE
CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER BY GRANTEE OF ANY OF THE IMMUNITIES
AVAILABLE TO GRANTEE PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE COLORADO
GOVERNMENTAL IMMUNITY ACT, C.R.S. § 24-10-101 ET. SEQ.
Nonuse of the Easement Area or any portion thereof, for a period of two (2) year
will be deemed an abandonment of the Easement Area, whereupon Grantor will notify Grantee,
its successors or assigns, in writing that the Easement will cease and terminate, and the title to the
Easement Area will be freed from the burden of the Easement. Upon receipt of Grantor's written
notice of intent to terminate based on abandonment by Grantee, its successors or assigns, Grantee
will have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such termination notice to object in writing to the
intent to terminate. If no objection is timely received, Grantee will be deemed to have abandoned
any possessory rights. If an objection is timely received, the parties will mediate the dispute. If a
resolution cannot be reached through mediation, either party may file a District Court action in
Eagle County, Colorado for a factual determination of abandonment. Within one hundred eighty
(180) days after termination or abandonment as contemplated by this Easement Deed, Grantee, at
its sole expense, shall (a) peacefully and quietly vacate and surrender possession of the portions of
the Easement Area no longer encumbered by the Easement, and (b) deliver to Grantor a fully
executed and acknowledged release and quitclaim for such abandoned or terminated portions of
the Easement Area in recordable form satisfactory to Grantor.

or against encumbrances. The Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing
Area for any purposes other than those described in this Agreement. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for

any part of the Railroad's property without the Railroad's written consent. Nothing herein
shall obligate the Railroad to give such consent.
B. The Railroad reserves the right to cross the Crossing Area with such
railroad tracks as may be required for its convenience or purposes. In the event the

C. The right hereby granted is subject to any existing encumbrances and
rights (whether public or private), recorded or unrecorded, and also to any renewals
thereof. The Political Body shall not damage, destroy or interfere with the property or
rights of nonparties in, upon or relating to the Railroad's property, unless the Political

D. The Railroad reserves the right to use and to grant to others the right to
use the Crossing Area for any purpose not inconsistent with the right hereby granted,
including, but not by way of limitation, the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain,

property; and the right to cross the Crossing Area with all kinds of equipment.
E. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
F. If any property or rights other than the right hereby granted are necessary

Political Body will acquire all such other property and rights at its own expense and
without expense to the Railroad.
SECTION 2. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
SECTION 3. INJURY AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
If the Political Body, in the performance of any work contemplated by this
Agreement or by the failure to do or perform anything for which the Political Body is
responsible under the provisions of this Agreement, shall injure, damage or destroy any
property of the Railroad or of any other person lawfully occupying or using the property
of the Railroad, such property shall be replaced or repaired by the Political Body at the
Political Body's own expense, or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body,
and to the satisfaction of the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering -Design.
SECTION 4. RAILROAD MAY USE CONTRACTORS TO PERFORM WORK

the contract.
SECTION 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
A. The Political Body shall, at its own sole expense, maintain, repair, and
renew, or cause to be maintained, repaired and renewed, the entire Crossing Area and
Roadway, except the portions between the track tie ends, which shall be maintained by
and at the expense of the Railroad.
B. If, in the future, the Political Body elects to have the surfacing material
between the track tie ends, or between tracks if there is more than one railroad track
across the Crossing Area, repaired or replaced, the Railroad, at the Political Body's
expense, shall install such replacement surfacing.
SECTION 6. CHANGES IN GRADE
If at any time the Railroad shall elect, or be required by competent authority to,

SECTION 7. REARRANGEMENT OF WARNING DEVICES
If the change or rearrangement of any warning device installed hereunder is
necessitated for public or Railroad convenience or on account of improvements for

thereto between themselves by negotiation, agreement or by the order of a competent
authority before the change or rearrangement is undertaken.
SECTION 8. SAFETY MEASURES; PROTECTION
OF RAILROAD COMPANY OPERATIONS
It is understood and recognized that safety and continuity of the Railroad's
operations and communications are of the utmost importance; and in order that the
same may be adequately safeguarded, protected and assured, and in order that
accidents may be prevented and avoided, it is agreed with respect to all of said work of
the Political Body that the work will be performed in a safe manner and in conformity
with the following standards:
A. Definitions. All references in this Agreement to the Political Body shall
also include the Contractor and their respective officers, agents and employees, and
others acting under its or their authority; and all references in this Agreement to work of
the Political Body shall include work both within and outside of the Railroad's property.
B. Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body. If the Political Body's
employees need to enter Railroad's property in order to perform an inspection of the
Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body shall first provide at
least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With respect
to such entry on to Railroad's property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law,
agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage,
injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person including, without limitation,
the Political Body's employees, or damage to any property or equipment (collectively the
"Loss") that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body's employees on
Railroad's property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct
negligence of Railroad.
C. Flapping.
(i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as
provided in Paragraph B above, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad
Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of
any work by Political Body 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 thirty
(30) day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Political Body
whether a flagman need be present and whether Political Body 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 Political Body for such expenses
incurred by Railroad. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or
safety measures are performed by Railroad, Political Body agrees that Political Body is
not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
(ii) 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

services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to
Railroad.

and to the extent it may lawfully do so, indemnify the Railroad for any such fine, penalty,
cost, or charge, including without limitation attorney's fees, court costs and expenses.

being provided by the Railroad, to defend such action free of cost, charge, or expense
to the Railroad.

Political Body's own expense, or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body,
and to the satisfaction of the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering -Design.
SECTION 4. RAILROAD MAY USE CONTRACTORS TO PERFORM WORK

the contract.
SECTION 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
A. The Political Body shall, at its own sole expense, maintain, repair, and
renew, or cause to be maintained, repaired and renewed, the entire Crossing Area and

expense, shall install such replacement surfacing.
SECTION 6. CHANGES IN GRADE

SECTION 7. REARRANGEMENT OF WARNING DEVICES
If the change or rearrangement of any warning device installed hereunder is
necessitated for public or Railroad convenience or on account of improvements for

authority before the change or rearrangement is undertaken.
SECTION 8. SAFETY MEASURES; PROTECTION
OF RAILROAD COMPANY OPERATIONS
It is understood and recognized that safety and continuity of the Railroad's
operations and communications are of the utmost importance; and in order that the
same may be adequately safeguarded, protected and assured, and in order that
accidents may be prevented and avoided, it is agreed with respect to all of said work of
the Political Body that the work will be performed in a safe manner and in conformity
with the following standards:
A. Definitions. All references in this Agreement to the Political Body shall
also include the Contractor and their respective officers, agents and employees, and
others acting under its or their authority; and all references in this Agreement to work of
the Political Body shall include work both within and outside of the Railroad's property.
B. Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body. If the Political Body's
employees need to enter Railroad's property in order to perform an inspection of the
Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body shall first provide at
least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With respect
to such entry on to Railroad's property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law,
agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage,
injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person including, without limitation,
the Political Body's employees, or damage to any property or equipment (collectively the
"Loss") that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body's employees on
Railroad's property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct
negligence of Railroad.
C. Flapping.
(i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as
provided in Paragraph B above, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad
Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of
any work by Political Body 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 thirty
(30) day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Political Body
whether a flagman need be present and whether Political Body 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 Political Body for such expenses
incurred by Railroad. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or
safety measures are performed by Railroad, Political Body agrees that Political Body is
not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
(ii) 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 wcrk 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, Political Body shall pay on the basis of the
new rates and charges.
(iii) 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 Political Body 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, Political
Body 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, Political Body 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 thirty (30) 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.
D. Compliance With Laws. The Political Body shall comply with all
applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work.
The Political Body shall use only such methods as are consistent with safety, both as
concerns the Political Body, the Political Body's agents and employees, the officers,
agents, employees and property of the Railroad and the public in general. The Political
Body (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) shall comply with all applicable
state and federal occupational safety and health acts and regulations. All Federal
Railroad Administration regulations shall be followed when work is performed on the
Railroad's premises. If any failure by the Political Body to comply with any such laws,
regulations, and enactments, shall result in any fine, penalty, cost or charge being
assessed, imposed or charged against the Railroad, the Political Body shall reimburse,
and to the extent it may lawfully do so, indemnify the Railroad for any such fine, penalty,
cost, or charge, including without limitation attorney's fees, court costs and expenses.
The Political Body further agrees in the event of any such action, upon notice thereof
being provided by the Railroad, to defend such action free of cost, charge, or expense
to the Railroad.
E. No Interference or Delays. The Political Body shall not do, suffer or
permit anything which will or may obstruct, endanger, interfere with, hinder or delay
maintenance or operation of the Railroad's tracks or facilities, or any communication or
signal lines, installations or any appurtenances thereof, or the operations of others
lawfully occupying or using the Railroad's property or facilities.
F. Supervision. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall adequately
police and supervise all work to be performed by the Political Body, and shall not inflict
injury to persons or damage to property for the safety of whom or of which the Railroad
may be responsible, or to property of the Railroad. The responsibility of the Political
Body for safe conduct and adequate policing and supervision of the Crossing Area shall
not be lessened or otherwise affected by the Railroad's approval of plans and
specifications, or by the Railroad's collaboration in performance of any work, or by the
presence at the work site of the Railroad's representatives, or by compliance by the
Political Body with any requests or recommendations made by such representatives.
The Political Body will give due consideration to suggestions and recommendations
made by Railroad for the safety and protection of the Railroad's property and operations.
G. Suspension of Work. If at any time the Political Body's engineers or the
Vice President -Engineering Services of the Railroad or their respective representatives
shall be of the opinion that any work of the Political Body is being or is about to be done
or prosecuted without due regard and precaution for safety and security, the Political
Body shall immediately suspend the work until suitable, adequate and proper protective
measures are adopted and provided.
H. Removal of Debris. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit
material or debris to be deposited or cast upon, or to slide or fall upon any property or
facilities of the Railroad; and any such material and debris shall be promptly removed
from the Railroad's property by the Political Body at the Political Body's own expense or
by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body. The Political Body shall not cause,
suffer or permit any snow to be directly plowed or cast upon the Railroad's property
during snow removal from the Crossing Area.
1. Explosives. The Political Body shall not discharge any explosives on or
in the vicinity of the Railroad's property without the prior consent of the Railroad's Vice
President -Engineering Services, which shall not be given if, in the sole discretion of the
Railroad's Vice President -Engineering Services, such discharge would be dangerous or
would interfere with the Railroad's property or facilities. For the purposes hereof, the
"vicinity of the Railroad's property" shall be deemed to be any place on the Railroad's
property or in such close proximity to the Railroad's property that the discharge of
explosives could cause injury to the Railroad's employees or other persons, or cause
damage to or interference with the facilities or operations on the Railroad's property.
The Railroad reserves the right to impose such conditions, restrictions or limitations on
the transportation, handling, storage, security and use of explosives as the Railroad, in
the Railroad's sole discretion, may deem to be necessary, desirable or appropriate.
J. Excavation. The Political Body shall not excavate from existing slopes
nor construct new slopes which are excessive and may create hazards of slides or falling
rock, or impair or endanger the clearance between existing or new slopes and the tracks
of the Railroad. The Political Body shall not do or cause to be done any work which will
or may disturb the stability of any area or adversely affect the Railroad's tracks or
facilities. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall install and maintain adequate
shoring and cribbing for all excavation and/or trenching performed by the Political Body
in connection with construction, maintenance or other work. The shoring and cribbing
shall be constructed and maintained with materials and in a manner approved by the
Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering - Design to withstand all stresses likely
to be encountered, including any stresses resulting from vibrations caused by the
Railroad's operations in the vicinity.
K. Drainage. The Political Body, at the Political Body's own expense, shall
provide and maintain suitable facilities for draining the Roadway and its appurtenances,
and shall not suffer or permit drainage water therefrom to flow or collect upon property
of the Railroad. The Political Body, at the Political Body's own expense, shall provide
adequate passageway for the waters of any streams, bodies of water and drainage
facilities (either natural or artificial, and including water from the Railroad's culvert and
drainage facilities), so that said waters may not, because of any facilities or work of the
Political Body, be impeded, obstructed, diverted or caused to back up, overflow or
damage the property of the Railroad or any part thereof, or property of others. The
Political Body shall not obstruct or interfere with existing ditches or drainage facilities.
L. Notice. Before commencing any work, the Political Body shall provide the
advance notice to the Railroad that is required under the Contractor's Right of Entry
Agreement.
M. Fiber Optic Cables. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on the
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. Political Body shall telephone the 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 the Railroad's premises to be used
by the Political Body. If it is, Political Body will telephone the telecommunications
company(ies) involved, arrange for a cable locator, and make arrangements for
relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable prior to beginning any work on the
Railroad's premises.
SECTION 9. INTERIM WARNING DEVICES
If at anytime it is determined by a competent authority, by the Political Body, or
by agreement between the parties, that new or improved train activated warning devices
should be installed at the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall install adequate
temporary warning devices or signs and impose appropriate vehicular control measures
to protect the motoring public until the new or improved devices have been installed.
SECTION 10. OTHER RAILROADS
All protective and indemnifying provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of the Railroad and any other railroad company lawfully using the Railroad's
property or facilities.
SECTION 11. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
SECTION 12. REMEDIES FOR BREACH OR NONUSE
A. If the Political Body shall fail, refuse or neglect to perform and abide by the
terms of this Agreement, the Railroad, in addition to any other rights and remedies, may
perform any work which in the judgment of the Railroad is necessary to place the
Roadway and appurtenances in such condition as will not menace, endanger or interfere
with the Railroad's facilities or operations or jeopardize the Railroad's employees; and
the Political Body will reimburse the Railroad for the expenses thereof.
B. Nonuse by the Political Body of the Crossing Area for public highway
purposes continuing at any time for a period of eighteen (18) months shall, at the option
of the Railroad, work a termination of this Agreement and of all rights of the Political
Body hereunder.
C. The Political Body will surrender peaceable possession of the Crossing
Area and Roadway upon termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement
shall not affect any rights, obligations or liabilities of the parties, accrued or otherwise,
which may have arisen prior to termination.
SECTION 13. MODIFICATION - ENTIRE AGREEMENT
No waiver, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be of any force or
effect unless made in writing, signed by the Political Body and the Railroad and
specifying with particularity the nature and extent of such waiver, modification or
amendment. Any waiver by the Railroad of any default by the Political Body shall not
affect or impair any right arising from any subsequent default. This Agreement and
Exhibits attached hereto and made a part hereof constitute the entire understanding
between the Political Body and the Railroad and cancel and supersede any prior
negotiations, understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the
work or any part thereof.

Grantor, for and in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and
other valuable consideration, to it paid by Grantee, the receipt whereof is hereby
confessed and acknowledged, grants to Grantee, its successors and assigns, a non-
exclusive easement ("Easement"), for the sole purposes of constructing, using,

sidewalks adjacent or related thereto, located at or near Minturn, Eagle County, Colorado,
as described and depicted in Exhibit A, attached and by reference made a part hereof
(the "Easement Area").
The Easement is granted for the purposes described above only. Without
limitation of the foregoing, this grant does not include the right to install utilities of any
nature, including, without limitation, fiber optic, cable television, electrical, gas or liquid
distribution, or telephone lines.
Grantor, its successors and assigns, reserves the right to construct and to
maintain at any and all times railroad tracks and appurtenances, fiber optic or signal lines
and facilities, pipe, telephone, and electric pole and wire lines, over, under and across the
Easement Area, but in such a way as to not unreasonably interfere with Grantee's use of
the Easement; it being understood that the rights so reserved by Grantor, its successors
and assigns, are retained along with the general right of Grantor, its successors and
assigns, to use of the Easement Area for any purpose not inconsistent with Grantee's use

The Easement is also limited to such rights as Grantor may have in the
Easement Area and is granted without warranty, express or implied. No damages shall
be recoverable from Grantor because of any dispossession of Grantee or because of
failure of, or defect in, Grantor's title.
If Grantee, its successors or assigns, abandons the Easement Area or any
portion of the Easement Area, the Easement will cease and terminate with respect to the
portion of the Easement Area so abandoned, and the title to the Easement Area will be
freed from the burden of the Easement. Nonuse of the Easement Area or any portion
