Public Highway At-Grade Crossing 03/01/13 <br />Standard Form Approved, AVP-Law <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EXHIBIT B <br />TO <br />PUBLIC HIGHWAY AT GRADE CROSSING AGREEMENT <br /> <br /> <br />SECTION 1. CONDITIONS AND COVENANTS <br /> <br />A. The Railroad makes no covenant or warranty of title for quiet possession or <br />against encumbrances. The Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing <br />Area for any purposes other than those described in this Agreement. Without limiting <br />the foregoing, the Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for <br />railroad purposes, or for gas, oil or gasoline pipe lines. Any lines constructed on the <br />Railroad's property by or under authority of the Political Body for the purpose of <br />conveying electric power or communications incidental to the Political Body's use of the <br />property for highway purposes shall be constructed in accordance with specifications <br />and requirements of the Railroad, and in such manner as not adversely to affect <br />communication or signal lines of the Railroad or its licensees now or hereafter located <br />upon said property. No nonparty shall be admitted by the Political Body to use or occupy <br />any part of the Railroad's property without the Railroad's written consent. Nothing herein <br />shall obligate the Railroad to give such consent. <br /> <br />B. The Railroad reserves the right to cross the Crossing Area with such railroad <br />tracks as may be required for its convenience or purposes. In the event the Railroad <br />shall place additional tracks upon the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall, at its sole <br />cost and expense, modify the Roadway to conform with all tracks within the Crossing <br />Area. <br /> <br />C. The right hereby granted is subject to any existing encumbrances and rights <br />(whether public or private), recorded or unrecorded, and also to any renewals thereof. <br />The Political Body shall not damage, destroy or interfere with the property or rights of <br />nonparties in, upon or relating to the Railroad's property, unless the Political Body at its <br />own expense settles with and obtains releases from such nonparties. <br /> <br />D. The Railroad reserves the right to use and to grant to others the right to use the <br />Crossing Area for any purpose not inconsistent with the right hereby granted, including, <br />but not by way of limitation, the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, operate, repair, <br />alter, renew and replace tracks, facilities and appurtenances on the property; and the <br />right to cross the Crossing Area with all kinds of equipment. <br /> <br />E. So far as it lawfully may do so, the Political Body will assume, bear and pay all <br />taxes and assessments of whatsoever nature or kind (whether general, local or special) <br />levied or assessed upon or against the Crossing Area, excepting taxes levied upon and <br />against the property as a component part of the Railroad's operating property.
