17. TITLE:
17.1 Licensee understands that Licensor occupies, uses and possesses lands,
rights-of-way and rail corridors under all forms and qualities of ownership rights or facts, from
full fee simple absolute to bare occupation. Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement shall act as
or be deemed to act as any warranty, guaranty or representation of the quality of Licensor's title
for any particular Encroachment or segment of Rail Corridor occupied, used or enjoyed in any
manner by Licensee under any rights created in this Agreement. It is expressly understood that
Licensor does not warrant title to any Rail Corridor and Licensee will accept the grants and
privileges contained herein, subject to all lawful outstanding existing liens, mortgages and
superior rights in and to the Rail Corridor, and all leases, licenses and easements or other
interests previously granted to others therein.
17.2 The term "license," as used herein, shall mean with regard to any portion of
the Rail Corridor which is owned by Licensor in fee simple absolute, or where the applicable law
of the State where the Encroachment is located otherwise permits Licensor to make such grants
to Licensee, a "permission to use" the Rail Corridor, with dominion and control over such
portion of the Rail Corridor remaining with Licensor, and no interest in or exclusive right to
possess being otherwise granted to Licensee. With regard to any other portion of Rail Corridor
occupied, used or controlled by Licensor under any other facts or rights, Licensor merely waives
its exclusive right to occupy the Rail Corridor and grants no other rights whatsoever under this
Agreement, such waiver continuing only so long as Licensor continues its own occupation, use

AGREEMENT NO. CSX878985 o
or control. Licensor does not warrant or guarantee that the license granted hereunder provides
Licensee with all of the rights necessary to occupy any portion of the Rail Corridor. Licensee
further acknowledges that it does not have the right to occupy any portion of the Rail Corridor
held by Licensor in less than fee simple absolute without also receiving the consent of the
owner(s) of the fee simple absolute estate. Further, Licensee shall not obtain, exercise or claim
any interest in the Rail Corridor that would impair Licensor's existing rights therein.
17.3 Licensee agrees it shall not have nor shall it make, and hereby completely and
absolutely waives its right to, any claim against Licensor for damages on account of any
deficiencies in title to the Rail Corridor in the event of failure or insufficiency of Licensor's title
to any portion thereof arising from Licensee's use or occupancy thereof.
17.4 Licensee agrees to fully and completely indemnify and defend all claims or
litigation for slander of title, overburden of easement, or similar claims arising out of or based
upon the Facilities placement, or the presence of the Facilities in, on or along any
Encroachment(s), including claims for punitive or special damages.
