Structure on Property. This maintenance obligation shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Licensee agrees that all work upon or in connection with Structure shall be
done at such times and in such manner as not to interfere in any way whatsoever with the
operations of Licensor, its tenants or licensees. The plans for constructing Structure shall
be subject to the approval of Licensor. Approval by Licensor shall not constitute a
warranty by Licensor that such plans conform with applicable federal, state, and/or local
codes and regulations.
Licensee agrees to obtain from Licensor a Right -of -Entry Permit to enter upon Property

to keep Property and Structure in good and safe condition, free from waste, so far as
affected by Licensee's operations, to the reasonable satisfaction of Licensor. If Licensee

the tracks, pipelines, wire lines, signals, and all other property at said location, the traffic
moving on such tracks and the removal of tools, equipment, and materials.
All work by Licensee upon Property shall be performed in a good and workman -like
manner satisfactory to Licensor. Since there is the possibility of the existence of pipelines
or other structures beneath Property, if Licensee should excavate or drill, then Licensee's
forces shall explore such structures with hand tools to a depth of at least eight feet (8')
below the surface of the ground or, at Licensee's option, use suitable detection equipment
prior to drilling or excavating with mechanized equipment. Absence of markers does not
constitute a warranty by Licensor of no subsurface installations. It shall be Licensee's
responsibility to determine the existence of any underground facilities and Licensee shall
call Underground Service Alert at (800) 642-2444 prior to beginning any work on
Property.
Any open holes shall be satisfactorily covered at all times when Licensee's forces are not
physically working in the actual vicinity. Upon completion of work, all holes will be
filled in to meet the surrounding ground level with clean, compacted, earthen material and
Property left in a neat and safe condition reasonably satisfactory to Licensor.
Licensee shall not be permitted to cross Licensor's tracks located on or adjacent to
Property to gain access to and from Structure. Access shall be by use only of designated
public streets or crossings.
Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor for the cost and expense to Licensor of furnishing
any materials or performing any labor in connection with the construction and maintenance
or removal of Structure, including, but not limited to, the installation and removal of such
false work and other protection beneath or along the railroad tracks, and the furnishing of
such security persons, flaggers, and inspectors as Licensor deems necessary. Prior to
incurring any cost or expense, Licensor shall reasonably notify Licensee of the same. Said
reimbursement shall be paid by Licensee to Licensor within thirty (30) days after
presentation of a bill.
Licensee shall fully pay for all materials joined or affixed to Property, and shall pay in full
all persons who perform labor on Property. As Licensor is a public entity, its Property
is not subject to mechanics' or materialmen's liens, and nothing in this License shall be
construed to make its Property subject to such liens. However, if any such liens are filed,
Licensee shall immediately remove them at Licensee's own expense, and shall pay any
judgment which may be entered. Should Licensee fail, neglect, or refuse to do so,
Licensor, after forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to Licensee, shall have the right to pay
any amount required to release any such liens, or to defend any action brought, and to pay
any judgment entered. Licensee shall be liable to Licensor for all costs, damages,
Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District

reasonable fees, and any amounts expended in defending any proceedings or in the
payment of any of said liens or any judgment. Licensor may post and maintain upon
Property notices of nonresponsibility as provided by law.
Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor in making any tests Licensor requires of any
installation or condition which in Licensor's reasonable judgment may have an adverse
effect on any of the facilities of Licensor. All costs incurred by the tests, or any
corrections required as a result of such tests, shall be borne by Licensee.
Licensee shall take protective measures necessary to keep Licensor's facilities, including
track ballast, free of sand or debris resulting from its operations. Any damage to
Licensor's facilities resulting from Licensee's operations will be repaired or replaced by
Licensor, at Licensee's sole cost and expense, which Licensee shalt pay to Licensor
promptly upon demand. Licensee shall provide all barriers, directions, signage, and other
forms of notice to the public to assure the smooth and uninterrupted flow of traffic around
Property.
Licensee shall not place or store any materials or park any equipment, when not in use,
closer to the center of nearest railroad track then permitted by the following permanent
clearances:
a. 25'-0" horizontally from center line of track; and
b. 22'-6" vertically above top of rail.
The placement of piles, forms, bracing, shoring falsework, or other construction supports
shall be in accordance with the current California Department of Transportation Trenching
and Shoring Manual, Appendix C.
Licensee shall notify Licensor the date said work is completed. Upon completion of work
to be done upon Property, Licensee shall promptly remove from Property all tools,
equipment, and materials placed thereon by Licensee or its agents. Except for the
construction and improvements authorized herein, Licensee shall restore said Property to
the same state and condition as when Licensee entered thereon and shall leave said
Property in a clean and presentable condition.

acting with the permission of Licensor) to construct, reconstruct, maintain, and operate
fiber optic and other telecommunications systems ("Systems") in, upon, along, across, and
beneath Property and rights -of -ways of Licensor, including Property under which
Structure shall be constructed.
Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor and/or the owner of the Systems for all expenses

anywhere on Property. If there is, Licensee will telephone the owner of the system
designated by Licensor, arrange for a cable locator, and make arrangements for relocation
or other protection for the System prior to beginning any work on Property.
8. Project Markers
Project markers in a form and size satisfactory to Licensor, identifying the facility and its
owner, shall be installed and constantly maintained by and at the expense of Licensee at
Licensor's property lines or such locations as Licensor shall approve. Such markers shall
be relocated or removed upon request of Licensor without expense to Licensor. The
absence of markers does not constitute a warranty by Licensor that there are no subsurface
installations.
9. Hazardous Materials
Other than minor amounts of materials necessary for Work to be performed on Property,
no hazardous materials shall be handled at any time upon Property. In the event of
leakage or spillage from Structure or any vehicle in the control or custody of Licensee or
any contractor or agent for Licensee ("Leakage"), Licensee shall, at its own expense,
promptly clean Licensor's Property to the satisfaction of Licensor, Environmental
Protection Agency, and any public body having jurisdiction in the matter. Any expense
of required compliance with federal, state, or local environmental regulations incurred by
Licensor or Licensee as a result of any Leakage or breach of this section shall be borne

For purposes of this Agreement, "Hazardous Materials" means any substance or material
which, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical or chemical characteristics, is

are not specifically and directly related and necessary to the operation of trains over the single set
of railroad tracks on the PREMISES.
3, Non-interference with Use of Easement.
CITY shall not grant nor assign any other easement over PREMISES to any third person
or entity, which grant would unreasonably interfere with EASEMENT granted to DISTRICT
herein. DISTRICT's use of EASEMENT shall not materially interfere with CITY's use of
PREMISES for street, roadway and related purposes. DISTRICT agrees to and shall give CITY
ten (10) days written notice prior to any use of or construction or maintenance work of any type
on EASEMENT. DISTRICT agrees to and shall keep PREMISES and EASEMENT in good and
safe condition and free from waste to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY.
4. Hazardous Materials.
With the exception of vehicle fuels and lubricants normally associated with railroad
operations, no hazardous materials shall be handled at any time by DISTRICT on PREMISES.
2
In the event of leakage or spillage from any container, compartment, vessel, or vehicle in the
control or custody of DISTRICT or any contractor or agent for DISTRICT ("Leakage"),
DISTRICT shall, at its own expense, promptly clean PREMISES to the satisfaction of CITY,
Environmental Protection Agency, and any public body having jurisdiction in the matter.
DISTRICT, if required under federal state and local laws and regulations, shall report all such
Leakage to the appropriate regulatory agency and shall be responsible for all remedial action
imposed by such agency. Any expense of required compliance with federal, state, or local
environmental regulations incurred by CITY or DISTRICT as a result of any Leakage or breach
of this section shall be borne totally by DISTRICT, including any fines and judgments levied
against CITY or PREMISES.
DISTRICT shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to CITY) CITY, its successors and assigns of any of them, and their officers,
employees, agents, and volunteers against any and all liability, cost, and expenses (including,
without limitation, any fines, penalties, judgments, litigation costs, attorneys' fees, and
consulting, engineering, and construction costs) incurred by CITY as a result of DISTRICT's
breach of this section or as a result of any Leakage, regardless of whether such liability, cost, or
expense arises during or after the term of this Agreement and EASEMENT.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Hazardous Materials" means any substance or material
which, because of its quantity, concentration,
or physical or chemical characteristics, is at any
time now or hereafter deemed by any federal, state, or local governmental authority to pose a
present or potential hazard or threat to public health, welfare, or the environment, or which is
regulated based on such potentially hazardous effects. The term Hazardous Materials includes,
without limitation, any material or substance defined as a "hazardous" or "toxic" substance or
"waste," and any pollutant or contaminant regulated under Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et
seq., Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. Sections 6901 et seg., or pursuant to
Section 25316 of California Health and Safety Code; any man-made asbestos and asbestos
containing materials; and any petroleum, including, without limitation, crude oil or any fraction
thereof, natural gas, or natural gas liquids. This indemnity shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
5. Assumption of Risk.
DISTRICT shall assume all risk of damage to single set of railroad tracks and to any
other property of DISTRICT, or any property under the control or custody of DISTRICT, or any
property under the control or custody of its employees or agents, while upon or near PREMISES,
or incident to DISTRICT's use of EASEMENT, caused by or contributed to in any way, in
whole or in part, by the construction, operation, maintenance or presence of DISTRICT's
operations on PREMISES; provided, however, such assumption by DISTRICT shall not include
any damage caused by the willful misconduct of CITY, its agents or employees.
3
6. Working Procedures; Repair and Maintenance.
DISTRICT shall bear the entire cost and expense of operating, repairing and maintaining
the single set of railroad tracks on PREMISES. This maintenance obligation shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. DISTRICT agrees that all work upon or in connection with its
maintenance, repair, removal, replacement or operation of a single set of railroad tracks on
PREMISES shall be done at such times and in such manner as not to interfere in any way
whatsoever with the operations of CITY, its tenants or licensees. Plans for the maintenance,
repair, removal, replacement or operation of a single set of railroad tracks on PREMISES shall
be subject to the approval of CITY, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Approval by CITY shall not constitute a warranty by CITY that such
plans conform with applicable Federal, state, and/or local codes and regulations.
DISTRICT agrees to give CITY ten (10) calendar days' written notice prior to
commencement of any work on PREMISES, except emergency repairs, in which event
DISTRICT shall notify CITY's authorized representative by telephone. DISTRICT agrees to
keep the PREMISES and its single set of railroad tracks in good and safe condition, free from
waste, so far as affected by DISTRICT's operations, to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY. If
DISTRICT fails to keep the PREMISES in good and safe condition, free from waste, the CITY
may terminate this Agreement without limiting its remedies.
All work by DISTRICT upon the PREMISES shall be performed in a good and
workerlike manner satisfactory to CITY. Since there is the possibility of the existence of
pipelines or other structures on PREMISES, if DISTRICT should excavate or drill, then
DISTRICT's forces shall explore such structures with hand tools to a depth of at least eight feet
(8') below the surface of the ground or, at DISTRICT's option, use suitable detection equipment
prior to drilling or excavating with mechanized equipment. Absence of markers does not
constitute a warranty by CITY of no subsurface installations. It shall be DISTRICT's
responsibility to determine the existence of any underground facilities and DISTRICT shall call
Underground Service Alert at 1-800-642-2444 prior to beginning any work on the Property.
Any open holes shall be satisfactorily covered at all times when DISTRICT's forces are
not physically working in the actual vicinity. Upon completion of work, all holes will be filled
in to meet the surrounding ground level with clean, compacted, earthen material and the property
left in a neat and safe condition reasonably satisfactory to CITY.
Under no condition shall DISTRICT be permitted to place or store any mechanized
equipment, tools or other materials on PREMISES.
7. Damage and Destruction.
In the event that the whole or any part of any improvements on PREMISES or any
portion of the PREMISES are damaged or destroyed in any manner, by any cause whatsoever,
DISTRICT, at its sole cost and expense, shall repair, replace, and restore said improvements
and/or portion of PREMISES to satisfaction of CITY,
11
8. Indemnity.
DISTRICT shall hold harmless, release, indemnify and defend (with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to CITY) the CITY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers, their successors
and assigns, from and against all liability, cost and expense for loss of or damage to property and
for injuries to or death of any person (including, but not limited to, the property and employees
of each party) when arising or resulting from the use of the PREMISES by DISTRICT, its
agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or invitees; or DISTRICT's breach of any
provision of this Easement Agreement. The duty of DISTRICT to indemnify and save harmless
the Indemnitees herein, includes the duties to defend as set forth in §2778 of the Civil Code. It is
the express intent of the parties under this section, that DISTRICT will indemnify and hold
harmless the Indemnitees from any and all claims, suits or actions arising from any cause
whatsoever as set forth above, other than the willful misconduct or criminal acts of the
Indemnitees. DISTRICT waives any and all rights to any type of express or implied indemnity
against the CITY's use of or activities on the PREMISES except for indemnification of the CITY
for liability and loss arising out of the willful misconduct or criminal acts of the Indemnitees.
This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties that
should any term of this indemnity provision be found to be void or unenforceable, the remainder
of the provision shall remain in full force and effect.
Any person, firm or corporation DISTRICT authorizes to work upon the PREMISES,
including any subcontractor, shall be deemed to be DISTRICT's agent and shall be subject to all
the applicable terms of this Agreement.
9. Insurance.
Prior to the effective date of this Agreement and EASEMENT, DISTRICT shall provide
CITY with satisfactory evidence, in the form of a Certificate of Insurance, that DISTRICT is
insured in accordance with the following, which insurance shall remain in effect throughout the
term of this Agreement and EASEMENT:
A. Workers' Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance.
DISTRICT shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain Workers'
Compensation Insurance and Employers' Liability Insurance in accordance with the laws of the
State of California. Employers' Liability Insurance shall have coverage for a minimum liability

DISTRICT shall insure the procurement and maintenance of such insurance by all contractors,
subcontractors, or other of its agents who access PREMISES.
5

This insurance shall provide bodily injury and property damage coverage with a
combined single limit of at least $5,000,000.00 each occurrence or claim and a general aggregate
limit of at least $5,000,000.00. This insurance shall include but not be limited to premises and
operations; contractual liability covering the indemnity provisions contained in this Agreement;
personal injury; explosion, collapse, and underground coverage, products and completed
operations, and broad form property damage.
In addition, said insurance policy shall also include the following:
1. The insurance company(ies) issuing such policy(ies) shall give written
notice to the CITY of any material alteration, or reduction in aggregate limits, if such limits

providing such policy(ies) shall be liable hereunder for the full amount of any loss or claim for
which DISTRICT is liable, up to and including the total limit of liability, without right of
contribution from any other insurance effected or which may be effected by CITY.
3. The policy shall also stipulate: Inclusion of CITY as additional insureds
shall not in any way affect their rights either as respects any claim, demand, suit or judgment
made, brought or recovered against the DISTRICT or its contractors, agents, and the CITY in the
same manner as though a separate policy had been issued to each, but nothing in said policy shall
operate to increase the insurance company's liability as set forth in its policy beyond the amount
or amounts shown or to which the insurance company would have been liable if only one interest
had been named as an insured.
C. Automobile Liability Insurance.
DISTRICT shall, at its own cost and expense, procure and maintain and/or require
its agents and contractor(s), at their own cost and expense, to procure and maintain automobile
liability insurance providing bodily injury and property damage with a combined single limit of
at least $2,000,000.00 per occurrence for all owned, non -owned and hired automobiles. This
insurance shall provide contractual liability covering all motor vehicles and mobile equipment to
the extent coverage may be excluded from general liability insurance. Such insurance shall
include as additional insureds the CITY, and its respective officers, employees, agents and
volunteers, their successors or assignees.
G
All of the contractor's insurance specified in this section, shall remain in full force
and effect during the term of this Agreement and EASEMENT.
The failure to procure or maintain insurance required in this section will constitute
a material breach of this Agreement and shall terminate the EASEMENT.
All insurance specified in this section shall be provided on an occurrence basis.
All policies will be issued by insurers acceptable to CITY.
DISTRICT may satisfy all or some of the insurance requirements of this section
by way of self-insurance, upon a) written verification to CITY confirming that DISTRICT is

become or became effective, including, without limitation, those relating to construction,
grading, signage, health, safety, noise, environmental protection, hazardous materials, waste
disposal, and water and air quality, and furnish satisfactory evidence of such compliance upon
request of CITY. DISTRICT shall also obtain, at DISTRICT's sole expense, any and all permits
required for its use and operation as permitted under this EASEMENT.
