2.2 This Agreement does not extend to Licensee the right to use the Right -of -Way to
the exclusion of ACHD for any use within its jurisdiction, authority and discretion or of
others to the extent authorized by law to use public right-of-way. If the Right -of -Way
has been opened as a public Highway (as used in the Agreement the term "Highway" is
as defined in Idaho Code § 40-109(5)) Licensee's Authorized Use is subject to the rights
of the public to use the Right -of -Way for Highway
purposes. Licensee's Authorized Use is also subject to the rights of holders of
easements of record or obvious on inspection of the Right -of -Way and statutory rights
of utilities to use the public right-of-way. This Agreement it is not intended to, and shall
not, preclude or impede the ability of ACHD to enter into other similar agreements in the
future allowing third parties to also use its public rights-of-way, or the ability of ACHD to
redesign, reconstruct, relocate, maintain and improve its public rights-of-way and
Highways as authorized by law and as it determines, in its sole discretion, is
appropriate.
SECTION 3. CONSTRUCTION OR INSTALLATION OF IMPROVEMENTS. Any
repairs or maintenance, of the Licensee's improvements currently located in the Right -
of -Way or the installation or construction of improvements by Licensee in the Right -of -
Way as permitted by the Authorized Use, (the "Improvements"), shall be accomplished
in accordance with designs, plans and specifications approved in advance and in writing
by ACHD as required to satisfy applicable laws, its policies and good engineering
practices. In approving such plans and specifications, ACHD assumes no responsibility
for any deficiencies or inadequacies in the design or construction of the Improvements,
and the responsibility therefore shall be and remain in Licensee.
SECTION 4. WAIVER AND ESTOPPEL STATEMENT BY LICENSEE. Licensee
acknowledges and agrees that the license granted herein is temporary, and merely a
permissive use of the Right -of -Way pursuant to this Agreement. Licensee further
acknowledges and agrees that it specifically assumes the risk that the license pursuant
to this Agreement may be terminated before Licensee has realized the economic benefit
of the cost of installing, constructing, repairing, or maintaining the Improvements, and
Licensee hereby waives and estops itself from asserting any claim that the license is in
any way irrevocable because Licensee has expended funds on the Improvements and
the Agreement has not been in effect for a period sufficient for Licensee to realize the
economic benefit from such expenditures.
SECTION 5. TERM.
5.1 The term of this Agreement will commence on the 29 day of August, 2011,

maintenance.

cause;

Agreement ACHD requires, in its sole discretion, at any time, and from time to time, that
the Highway on and/or adjacent to the Right -of -Way be widened and/or realigned,
redesigned, improved and/or reconstructed, Licensee hereby accepts responsibility for
all costs for relocating, modifying or otherwise adapting the Improvements to such
realignment and/or relocation and/or reconstruction if required by ACHD, which shall be
accomplished by Licensee according to designs, plans and specifications approved in
advance by ACHD in writing; provided ACHD gives Licensee adequate written notice as
necessary to allow Licensee to redesign, relocate, modify or adapt the Improvements to
the realignment and/or relocation and/or reconstruction of the Highway and also
licenses Licensee such additional area of its right-of-way, if any, as may be necessary
for the proper operation of the Improvements. Licensee has the right to terminate said
agreement if the cost of relocating the improvements as outlined in section 8 is found to
be unacceptable to the Licensee.
SECTION 9. PERMIT. If the proposed construction and installation of the
Improvements, or any reconstruction, relocation or maintenance thereof requires
Licensee to obtain a permit under ACHD policies, Licensee shall first obtain such permit
from ACHD (Construction Services Division) before commencing such work, and pay
the required fees and otherwise comply with the conditions set forth therein.
SECTION 10. NO TITLE IN LICENSEE. Except as expressly provided herein, the

Licensee for the costs thereof. Provided, ACHD and Licensee may agree in writing that
some or all of such Improvements are to remain on the Right -of -Way following
