TO CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK - FLAGGING.
BUILDING AMERICA
A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of Contractor
commencing its work and at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by Contractor 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 Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor 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 Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local
governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If
Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of
billing. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Contractor
agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
B. 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 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, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of
the new rates and charges.
C. 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 Contractor 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, Contractor
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, Contractor 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.
Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED
A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of the Railroad to
use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate,

acts to indemnify the Indemnified Parties under this Section 8. Contractor acknowledges that this waiver was mutually

Liability Act against a party to this Agreement may be relied upon or used by Contractor in any attempt to assert liability against
any Indemnified Party.
E. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the completion of any work performed by Contractor or the termination or
expiration of this Agreement. In no event shall this Section 8 or any other provision of this Agreement be deemed to limit any
liability Contractor may have to any Indemnified Party by statute or under common law.
