acknowledge and agree that Licensor maintains the Rail Easement on a regular
basis and such maintenance can involve the removal of the Trackage and closure
of the Crossing. If Licensor anticipates that any maintenance work will involve

coordinate with Licensee to schedule such maintenance at mutually convenient
times. Nothing in this Section 8 shall prohibit or prevent Licensor from closing
the Crossing or maintaining the Trackage in accordance with Licensor's

Licensee may elect to contact BNSF to effect such removal and Licensor shall be
obligated to Licensee for the reasonable costs billed by BNSF to Licensee to

insurance requirements provided for in this Section 10 every five (5) years during

may be amended from time to time, no longer provide adequate protection to
Licensor, then Licensor may give Licensee notice (the "Insurance Notice") that
Licensee must, within thirty (30) calendar days, obtain such additional insurance
as Licensor reasonably requires.
