W I T N E S S E T H : For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the parties: SECTION 1. RECITALS. 1.1 ACHD owns and has exclusive jurisdiction over the public right-of-way located within the City of Meridian, Ada County, Idaho, more particularly described as that portion of 2nd Street north of King Street and south of Ada Street (the “Right-of-Way”). 1.2 Licensee desires a license to use the Right-of-Way for the limited purposes hereinafter set forth, and, for the consideration and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, ACHD is willing to extend such license to Licensee. SECTION 2. LICENSE; LICENSE NOT EXCLUSIVE. 2.1 On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, ACHD hereby extends to Licensee a license on, over, across and under the Right-of-Way for the following uses and purposes (“Authorized Use”) and no others: Maintenance, repair and replacement of an existing irrigation well, as approximately depicted on Exhibit “A” attached hereto. 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 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 therefor 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, non-transferable 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 shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall continue until terminated by either party, with or without cause, which termination shall be effective following thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of termination given to the other party. 5.2 If Licensee defaults in the performance of any obligations incumbent upon it to perform hereunder, ACHD may terminate this Agreement and the rights extended to Licensee hereunder at any time, effective at the end of thirty (30) days following the date ACHD shall provide written notice of termination to Licensee, which notice shall specify such default(s). Licensee shall have such thirty (30) day period to correct and cure the specified defaults, and if so corrected and cured, to the satisfaction of ACHD, this Agreement shall not be terminated but shall continue in full force and effect. SECTION 6. FEE. There is no fee for Licensee’s Authorized Use of the Right-of-Way under this Agreement. SECTION 7. MAINTENANCE; FAILURE TO MAINTAIN; RELOCATION OF UTILITIES. 7.1 At its sole cost and expense, Licensee shall maintain the Improvements in good condition and repair and as required to satisfy applicable laws, the policies of ACHD and sound engineering practices. Licensee shall have access over, across and under the Right-of-Way for the purposes of accomplishing such repair and maintenance. 7.2 If the Highway on and/or adjacent to the Right-of-Way is damaged as a result of: (i) the performance by Licensee of the maintenance required by section 7.1, or the failure or neglect to perform such maintenance; and/or (ii) Licensee’s design, installation or use of the Improvements, regardless of cause; at its sole cost and expense Licensee shall forthwith correct such deficiency and restore the Highway and the surface of the Right-of-Way to the same condition it was in prior thereto, and if Licensee shall fail or neglect to commence such correction and restoration within twenty-four (24) hours of notification thereof, ACHD may proceed to do so, in which event Licensee agrees to reimburse ACHD for the costs and expenses thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable compensation for the use of staff and equipment of ACHD. 7.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of section 7.2, should an emergency exist related to the Licensee’s use of this license which threatens the stability or function of the Highway on or adjacent to the Right-of-Way or the safety of the public use thereof, ACHD shall have the right to immediately perform, on behalf of and at the cost of Licensee, necessary emergency repairs. 7.4 Licensee shall be responsible for the relocation of any existing utilities located on the Right-of-Way as may be required in connection with any construction or installation of Improvements by Licensee in the Right-of-Way. SECTION 8. RELOCATION OF IMPROVEMENTS. If during the term of this 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, Licensee may elect to terminate this Agreement in lieu of complying with this responsibility, and further 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. 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, pay the required fees and otherwise comply with the conditions set forth therein. SECTION 10. NO TITLE IN LICENSEE. Licensee shall have no right, title or interest in or to the Right-of-Way other than the right to temporarily use the same pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. SECTI ON 11. NO COSTS TO ACHD. Any and all costs and expenses associated with Licensee’s Authorized Use of the Right-of-Way, or any construction or installation of Improvements thereon, or the repair and maintenance thereof, or the relocation of Improvements or utilities thereon, or the restoration thereof at the termination of this Agreement, shall be at the sole cost and expense of Licensee.

Provided, ACHD and Licensee may agree in writing that some or all of such Improvements are to remain on the Right-of-Way following termination, and by entering into such an agreement Licensee thereby disclaims all right, title and interest in and to the same, and hereby grants such Improvements to ACHD, at no cost. Further provided, if the Authorized Use of the Right-of-Way under this Agreement is for landscaping in ACHD right-of-way and the irrigation and maintenance thereof, and the general purpose government with jurisdiction has adopted ordinances, rules and regulations governing the landscaping and maintenance of such right-of-way by owners of the adjacent property, to the extent such owners are obligated to maintain and irrigate the landscaping Licensee need not remove the same from the Right-of-Way. SECTION 14. INDEMNIFICATION. Licensee hereby indemnifies and holds ACHD harmless from and against any and all claims or actions for loss, injury, death, damages, mechanics and other liens arising out of the failure or neglect of Licensee, Licensee’s employees, contractors and agents to properly and reasonably make Authorized Use of the Right-of-Way or properly construct, install, plant, repair or maintain the Improvements thereon, or that otherwise result from the use and occupation of the Right-of-Way by Licensee, including, without limitation, any attorneys’ fees and costs that may be incurred by ACHD in defense of such claims or actions indemnified against by Licensee hereunder.
