Operations Center at (800) 832-5452 of any release of hazardous substances on or from the Premises,
violation of Environmental Laws, or inspection or inquiry by governmental authorities charged with
enforcing Environmental Laws with respect to Grantee's use of the Premises. Grantee shall use its best
efforts to promptly respond to any release on or from the Premises. Grantee also shall give Grantor
immediate notice of all measures undertaken on behalf of Grantee to investigate, remediate, respond to or
otherwise cure such release or violation.

Easement Agreement, Grantor may require Grantee, at Grantee's sole risk and expense, to take timely
measures to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation affecting the
Premises. If during the construction or subsequent maintenance of the Improvements, soils or other
materials considered to be environmentally contaminated are exposed, Grantee will remove and safely
dispose of said contaminated soils. Determination of soils contamination and applicable disposal
procedures thereof, will be made only by an agency having the capacity and authority to make such a
determination.

or activities upon the Premises known to Grantee which create a risk of harm to persons, property or the
environment and shall take whatever action is necessary to prevent injury to persons or property arising

Exhibit"A"
•
+err wr
Grantee of any obligation whatsoever imposed on it by this Easement Agreement. Grantee shall promptly
respond to Grantor's request for information regarding said conditions or activities.
7.5 Evidence of Compliance. Grantee agrees periodically to furnish Grantor with proof
satisfactory to Grantor that Grantee is in compliance with this Section 7. Should Grantee not comply fully
with the above-stated obligations of this Section 7, notwithstanding anything contained in any other
provision hereof, Grantor may, at its option, terminate this Easement Agreement by serving five (5) days'
notice of termination upon Grantee. Upon termination, Grantee shall remove the Improvements and
restore the Premises as provided in Section 9.
Section 8 Default and Termination.
8.1 Grantor's Performance Rights. If at any time Grantee, or Grantee's Contractors, fails to
properly perform its obligations under this Easement Agreement, Grantor, in its sole discretion, may: (i)
seek specific performance of the unperformed obligations, or (ii) at Grantee's sole cost, may arrange for
the performance of such work as Grantor deems necessary for the safety of its rail operations, activities
and property, or to avoid or remove any interference with the activities or property of Grantor, or anyone or
anything present on the rail corridor or property with the authority or permission of Grantor. Grantee shall
promptly reimburse Grantor for all costs of work performed on Grantee's behalf upon receipt of an invoice
for such costs. Grantor's failure to perform any obligations of Grantee or Grantee's Contractors shall not
alter the liability allocation set forth in this Easement Agreement.
8.2 Abandonment. Grantor may, at its option, terminate this Easement Agreement by serving
five (5) days' notice in writing upon Grantee if Grantee should abandon or cease to use the Premises for
the Easement Purpose. Any waiver by Grantor of any default or defaults shall not constitute a waiver of
the right to terminate this Easement Agreement for any subsequent default or defaults, nor shall any such
waiver in any way affect Grantor's ability to enforce any section of this Easement Agreement.
8.3 Effect of Termination or Expiration. Neither termination nor expiration will release Grantee
from any liability or obligation under this Easement, whether of indemnity or otherwise, resulting from any
acts, omissions or events happening prior to the date of termination or expiration, or, if later, the date the
Premises are restored as required by Section 9.
8.4 Non-exclusive Remedies. The remedies set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to,
and not in limitation of, any other remedies that Grantor may have under the C&M Agreement, at law or in
equity.
Section 9 Surrender of Premises.
9.1 Removal of Improvements and Restoration. Upon termination of this Easement
Agreement, whether by abandonment of the Easement or by the exercise of Grantor's termination rights
hereunder, Grantee shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately perform the following:
(a) remove all or such portion of Grantee's Improvements and all
appurtenances thereto from the Premises, as Grantor directs at Grantor's
sole discretion;
(b) repair and restore any damage to the Premises arising from, growing out

Date.
9.2 Limited License for Entry. If this Easement Agreement is terminated, Grantor may direct
Grantee to undertake one or more of the actions set forth above, at Grantee's sole cost, in which case
Grantee shall have a limited license to enter upon the Premises to the extent necessary to undertake the
actions directed by Grantor. The terms of this limited license include all of Grantee's obligations under this
Easement Agreement. Termination will not release Grantee from any liability or obligation under this
Easement Agreement, whether of indemnity or otherwise, resulting from any acts, omissions or events
happening prior to the date of termination, or, if later, the date when Grantee's Improvements are removed
and the Premises are restored to the condition that existed as of the Effective Date. If Grantee fails to
surrender the Premises to Grantor upon any termination of the Easement, all liabilities and obligations of
Grantee hereunder shall continue in effect until the Premises are surrendered.
Section 10 Liens. Grantee 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 Grantee on the Premises or
attributable to Taxes that are the responsibility of Grantee pursuant to Section 6. Grantor is hereby
authorized to post any notices or take any other action upon or with respect to the Premises that is or may
be permitted by Law to prevent the attachment of any such liens to any portion of the Premises; provided,
however, that failure of Grantor to take any such action shall not relieve Grantee of any obligation or
liability under this Section 10 or any other section of this Easement Agreement.
Section 11 Tax Exchange. Grantor reserves the right to assign this Easement Agreement to Apex
Property& Track Exchange, Inc. ("Apex"). Apex is a qualified intermediary within the meaning of Section
1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treas. Reg. § 1.1031(k)-1(g), for the
purpose of completing a tax-deferred exchange under said Section 1031. Grantor shall bear all expenses
associated with the use of Apex, or necessary to qualify this transaction as a tax-deferred exchange, and,
except as otherwise provided herein, shall protect, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Grantee from

and liabilities which Grantee may incur as a result of Grantor's use of Apex or the qualification of this
transaction as a tax-deferred transaction pursuant to Section 1031. Grantee shall cooperate with Grantor
with respect to this tax-deferred exchange, and upon Grantor's request, shall execute such documents as
may be required to effect this tax-deferred exchange.
Section 12 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder by one party to the
other shall be delivered in the manner set forth in the C&M Agreement. Notices to Grantor under this
Easement shall be delivered to the following address: BNSF Railway Company, Real Estate Department,
2500 Lou Menk Drive, Ft. Worth, TX 76131, Attn: Permits, or such other address as Grantor may from
time to time direct by notice to Grantee.
Section 13 Recordation. It is understood and agreed that this Easement Agreement shall not be in
recordable form and shall not be placed on public record and any such recording shall be a breach of this
Easement Agreement. Grantor and Grantee shall execute a Memorandum of Easement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit"B" (the "Memorandum of Easement") subject to changes required, if any, to
conform such form to local recording requirements. The Memorandum of Easement shall be recorded in
the real estate records in the county where the Premises are located. If a Memorandum of Easement is
not executed by the parties and recorded as described above within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date,
Grantor shall have the right to terminate this Easement Agreement upon notice to Grantee.
Section 14 Miscellaneous.
14.1 All questions concerning the interpretation or application of provisions of this Easement
Agreement shall be decided according to the substantive Laws of the State of Washington without regard
to conflicts of law provisions.
Exhibit"A"
fir► w/
14.2 In the event that Grantee consists of two or more parties, all the covenants and
agreements of Grantee herein contained shall be the joint and several covenants and agreements of such
parties. This instrument and all of the terms, covenants and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and
assigns and shall run with and be binding upon the Premises.
14.3 If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this
Easement Agreement, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, costs
and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may be entitled.
14.4 If any provision of this Easement Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
under present or future Laws, such provision will be fully severable and this Easement Agreement will be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision is not a part hereof, and the
remaining provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. In lieu of any illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision herein, there will be added automatically as a part of this Easement Agreement a
provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and
be legal, valid and enforceable.
14.5 This Easement Agreement is the full and complete agreement between Grantor and
Grantee with respect to all matters relating to Grantee's use of the Premises, and supersedes any and all
other agreements between the parties hereto relating to Grantee's use of the Premises as described
herein. However, nothing herein is intended to terminate any surviving obligation of Grantee or Grantee's
obligation to defend and hold Grantor harmless in any prior written agreement between the parties.
14.6 Time is of the essence for the performance of this Easement Agreement.
14.7 The terms of the C&M Agreement are incorporated herein as if fully set forth in this
instrument which terms shall be in full force and effect for purposes of this Easement even if the C&M
Agreement is, for whatever reason, no longer in effect.

Operations Center at (800) 832-5452 of any release of hazardous substances on or from the Premises,
violation of Environmental Laws, or inspection or inquiry by governmental authorities charged with
enforcing Environmental Laws with respect to Grantee's use of the Premises. Grantee shall use its best
efforts to promptly respond to any release on or from the Premises. Grantee also shall give Grantor
immediate notice of all measures undertaken on behalf of Grantee to investigate, remediate, respond to or
otherwise cure such release or violation.

Easement Agreement, Grantor may require Grantee, at Grantee's sole risk and expense, to take timely
measures to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation affecting the
Premises. If during the construction or subsequent maintenance of the Improvements, soils or other
materials considered to be environmentally contaminated are exposed, Grantee will remove and safely

7.4 Preventative Measures. Grantee shall promptly report to Grantor in writing any conditions
or activities upon the Premises known to Grantee which create a risk of harm to persons, property or the
environment and shall take whatever action is necessary to prevent injury to persons or property arising

respond to Grantor's request for information regarding said conditions or activities.
7.5 Evidence of Compliance. Grantee agrees periodically to furnish Grantor with proof

notice of termination upon Grantee. Upon termination, Grantee shall remove the Improvements and
restore the Premises as provided in Section 9.
Section 8 Default and Termination.
8.1 Grantor's Performance Rights. If at any time Grantee, or Grantee's Contractors, fails to
properly perform its obligations under this Easement Agreement, Grantor, in its sole discretion, may: (i)
seek specific performance of the unperformed obligations, or (ii) at Grantee's sole cost, may arrange for
the performance of such work as Grantor deems necessary for the safety of its rail operations, activities
and property, or to avoid or remove any interference with the activities or property of Grantor, or anyone or
anything present on the rail corridor or property with the authority or permission of Grantor. Grantee shall
promptly reimburse Grantor for all costs of work performed on Grantee's behalf upon receipt of an invoice
for such costs. Grantor's failure to perform any obligations of Grantee or Grantee's Contractors shall not
alter the liability allocation set forth in this Easement Agreement.
8.2 Abandonment. Grantor may, at its option, terminate this Easement Agreement by serving
five (5) days' notice in writing upon Grantee if Grantee should abandon or cease to use the Premises for
the Easement Purpose. Any waiver by Grantor of any default or defaults shall not constitute a waiver of
the right to terminate this Easement Agreement for any subsequent default or defaults, nor shall any such
waiver in any way affect Grantor's ability to enforce any section of this Easement Agreement.
8.3 Effect of Termination or Expiration. Neither termination nor expiration will release Grantee
from any liability or obligation under this Easement, whether of indemnity or otherwise, resulting from any
acts, omissions or events happening prior to the date of termination or expiration, or, if later, the date the
Premises are restored as required by Section 9.
8.4 Non-exclusive Remedies. The remedies set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to,
and not in limitation of, any other remedies that Grantor may have under the C&M Agreement, at law or in

Agreement, whether by abandonment of the Easement or by the exercise of Grantor's termination rights
hereunder, Grantee shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately perform the following:
(a) remove all or such portion of Grantee's Improvements and all
appurtenances thereto from the Premises, as Grantor directs at Grantor's
sole discretion;

Grantee to undertake one or more of the actions set forth above, at Grantee's sole cost, in which case
Grantee shall have a limited license to enter upon the Premises to the extent necessary to undertake the
actions directed by Grantor. The terms of this limited license include all of Grantee's obligations under this
Easement Agreement. Termination will not release Grantee from any liability or obligation under this
Easement Agreement, whether of indemnity or otherwise, resulting from any acts, omissions or events
happening prior to the date of termination, or, if later,the date when Grantee's Improvements are removed
and the Premises are restored to the condition that existed as of the Effective Date. If Grantee fails to
surrender the Premises to Grantor upon any termination of the Easement, all liabilities and obligations of
Grantee hereunder shall continue in effect until the Premises are surrendered.
Section 10 Liens. Grantee 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 Grantee on the Premises or
attributable to Taxes that are the responsibility of Grantee pursuant to Section 6. Grantor is hereby
authorized to post any notices or take any other action upon or with respect to the Premises that is or may
be permitted by Law to prevent the attachment of any such liens to any portion of the Premises; provided,
however, that failure of Grantor to take any such action shall not relieve Grantee of any obligation or
liability under this Section 10 or any other section of this Easement Agreement.
Section 11 Tax Exchange. Grantor reserves the right to assign this Easement Agreement to Apex
Property&Track Exchange, Inc. ("Apex"). Apex is a qualified intermediary within the meaning of Section

purpose of completing a tax-deferred exchange under said Section 1031. Grantor shall bear all expenses

transaction as a tax-deferred transaction pursuant to Section 1031. Grantee shall cooperate with Grantor

Easement Agreement. Grantor and Grantee shall execute a Memorandum of Easement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit"B" (the "Memorandum of Easement")subject to changes required, if any, to
conform such form to local recording requirements. The Memorandum of Easement shall be recorded in

Easement Agreement, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, costs
and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may be entitled.
14.4 If any provision of this Easement Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
under present or future Laws, such provision will be fully severable and this Easement Agreement will be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision is not a part hereof, and the
remaining provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. In lieu of any illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision herein, there will be added automatically as a part of this Easement Agreement a
provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and
be legal, valid and enforceable.
14.5 This Easement Agreement is the full and complete agreement between Grantor and
Grantee with respect to all matters relating to Grantee's use of the Premises, and supersedes any and all
other agreements between the parties hereto relating to Grantee's use of the Premises as described
herein. However, nothing herein is intended to terminate any surviving obligation of Grantee or Grantee's
obligation to defend and hold Grantor harmless in any prior written agreement between the parties.
14.6 Time is of the essence for the performance of this Easement Agreement.
14.7 The terms of the C&M Agreement are incorporated herein as if fully set forth in this
