<br /> Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK -FLAGGING.
<br /> A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of Contractor commencing its
<br /> work and at least ten (10) working days in advance of proposed pertormance of any work by Contractor in which any person or
<br /> equipment will bewithintwenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such
<br /> 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
<br /> performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or
<br /> stored withintwenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's tracks} at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is
<br /> provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such ten (10)-day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform
<br /> Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety
<br /> measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are pertormed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for
<br /> such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad
<br /> is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor,
<br /> Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other
<br /> special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its
<br /> responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
<br /> B. The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day forthe class of flagmen
<br /> used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the
<br /> work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare,
<br /> supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and
<br /> Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing
<br /> composite charge in effect at the time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime,
<br /> Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any
<br /> time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling
<br /> of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional
<br /> charges are changed, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
<br /> C. Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the
<br /> flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required
<br /> for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for
<br /> any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is
<br /> required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other
<br /> work, even though Contractor may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and
<br /> assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide
<br /> 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
<br /> not given, Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement
<br /> to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional ten (10) days notice must then be
<br /> given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad.
<br /> Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED

<br /> without liability to Contractor or to any other party for compensation or damages.
<br /> B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (including those in favor of licensees and lessees of
<br /> Railroad's property, and others) and the right of Railroad to renew and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or
