negligence of Licensor, its agents, servants employees, or otherwise, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that Licensee shall have no

such release and shall indemnify and defend Licensor and its agents for all costs and
claims, including consultant and attorney fees, arising in any manner out of such release
or Licensee's failure to comply with environmental laws, regardless of whether such
costs or claims are caused or contributed to by the negligence or alleged negligence of
Licensor, except to the extent such costs or claims are proximately caused by Licensor's
gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
(b) Licensee shall give Licensor timely notice of any release, violation of
environmental laws or inspection or inquiry by governmental authorities charged with

contained in this document, or in case of any assignment or transfer of this License by
operation of law, Licensor may, at its option, terminate this License by serving five (5)
days' notice in writing upon Licensee; but any waiver by Licensor of any default or
defaults shall not constitute a waiver of the right to terminate this License for any
subsequent default or defaults, nor shall any such waiver in any way affect Licensor's
ability to enforce any Section of this License. The remedy set forth in this Section shall
be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies that Licensor may have at
law or in equity.
15. Licensee shall promptly pay and discharge any and all liens arising out of any
construction, alterations or repairs done, suffered or permitted to be done by Licensee

incurred by Licensor on account of such liens. Licensor is hereby authorized to post any
notices or take any other action upon or with respect to the PIPE LINE that is or may be
permitted by law to prevent the attachment of any such liens to Licensor's premises;
provided, however, that failure of Licensor to take any such action shall not relieve
Licensee of any obligation or liability under this Section or any other Section of this
License.

corridor on which the PIPE LINE is located, or the abandonment by Licensor of said rail

whatsoever or to refund any payment made by Licensee to Licensor hereunder, except

or subcontractor's employment for Licensee.
20. Neither Licensee, nor the heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns of
Licensee, nor any subsequent assignee, shall underlease or sublet the PIPE LINE nor
assign or transfer this License or any interest herein, without the prior written consent
and approval of Licensor.
21. It is understood and agreed that this License shall not be placed of public record.
22. All the covenants and provisions of this License shall be binding upon the heirs,
legal representatives, successors and assigns of Licensee. No assignment by Licensee

23. All questions concerning the interpretation or application of provisions of this
License shall be decided according to the laws of the State in which the PIPE LINE is
located.
24. To the maximum extent possible, each provision of this License shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this License shall be prohibited by, or held to be invalid under, applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective solely to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, and this shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or any other
provision of this License.
25. The waiver by Licensor of the breach of any provision herein by Licensee shall in
no way impair the right of Licensor to enforce that provision for any subsequent breach
thereof.
26. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this license, Licensee shall comply with
all statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and decisions issued by any federal,
state or local governmental body or agency established thereby relating to Licensee's

removed and the rail corridor of Licensor restored as above provided.
