EXHIBIT B 
 
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 aerial marker balls, 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, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and Federal 
Aviation Administration regulations and enactments (collectively, "Laws").  If there is any conflict 
between UP Specifications, UP Additional Requirements, and Laws, the most restrictive will apply.   
 
B. 
If Licensee's Facilities will be located underground, 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. 
Licensee shall not transmit electric current from Licensee's Facilities 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 volts (750V), and Licensee's Facilities will be buried at any location outside of track 
ballast or roadbed on Railroad Property, Licensee shall install metallic conduit, or non-metallic conduit 
encased in a minimum of three inches (3") of concrete with a minimum of four feet (4') of ground cover 
the entire length of Licensee's Facilities. Any of Licensee's Facilities buried by removal of soil shall 
have, at a depth of one foot (1') beneath the surface of the ground directly above Licensee's Facilities, 
with a six inch (6") wide warning tape labeled "Danger-High Voltage" or equivalent wording. Any of 
Licensee's Facilities encased in conduit, jacked, or bored under Railroad Property must be identified 
with warning signs ("Warning Signs") at each edge of Railroad Property, to be installed and properly 
maintained at Licensee's cost and expense.  Licensee shall not utilize Warning Signs in lieu of the 
warning tape where portions of the casing are installed by direct burial.

Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340 
D. 
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 Licensor'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

Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340 
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 by 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. Licensor 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 found at the link below. 
 
Union Pacific Current Safety Requirements 
 
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 represents and warrants that all parts of Licensee's Facilities 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.  
Licensee shall take all suitable precaution to prevent interference (by induction, leakage of electricity, 
or otherwise) with the operation of the signal, communication lines or other installations or facilities of 
Licensor or of its tenants. If, at any time, the operation or maintenance of Licensee's Facilities results 
in any electrostatic effects which 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 Licensor and/or its tenants, Licensee shall, at the sole cost and 
expense of Licensee, immediately modify or take action as may be necessary to eliminate such 
interference.  
 
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,

Union Pacific Railroad Real Estate 1400 Douglas Street Stop 1690 Omaha, Nebraska 68179-1690 fx. (402) 501-0340 
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. 
 
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 represents and warrants 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 
Licensor'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.

Section 8. 
MODIFICATIONS TO LICENSEE'S FACILITIES. 
 
A. 
This grant is subject to Licensor's safe and efficient operation of its railroad, and 
continued 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 sole discretion, (i) in the furtherance of Railroad's 
Use, or (ii) as is necessary to ensure safe and reliable maintenance and operation of the facilities of 
Licensor and/or its tenants because of interference from Licensee's Facilities. 
 
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 Wireline 
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 from 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 expense, restore Licensor’s property to the same condition as the same were before such property 
was moved or disturbed.
