At RR's request and puruat to the following conditions, Idaho Power wil allow RR to install its distribution conductors on the four distrbution poles located near the Border.Substation, identified as pole Nos. 1-4 on the attched map. 1) RR will pay anual, non-prorated pole attchment fees to Idaho Power in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00). An invoice for this amount will be sent to RR on or about Janua 2 each calendar year. Payment in full must be received by Idaho Power no later than January 31 ofthe same year. RR's failure to pay pole attchment fees in ful in the specified timeframe shall constitute a breach of this agreement. Pole attachment fees may be changed by Idaho Power upon 30 days prior wrtten notice to RR but not more often than once per calendar year. Price increases will be cost based. 2) RR will maintain ownership of the distribution conductors, hardware, and equipment instaled on Idaho Power's poles and crossars. RR will attch a permanent identification placard to the distribution ar with the letters "RRC". This placard will be located such that it is readily visible to an observer stading on the ground and the letters will be at least two inches in height. 3) Idaho Power will maintain ownership of the poles and crossarms as well as conductors, hardware and equipment that are not directly associated with RR's distribution facilities. 4) RR wil not impede the ability of Idaho Power to access, maintain, repair or operate Idaho Power's facilities. This includes the right to install devices and equipmentinthe future as deemed necessar by Idaho Power. 5) RR will notify Idaho Power in writing and receive permission from Idaho Power before modifying RR's distribution system in any way that changes strctual loading on poles or changes clearance requirements at poles or at mid-spans. 6) As the owner of the poles, Idaho Power will be responsible for pole maintenance. RR wil be responsible for maintaining its distribution facilities attched to Idaho Power poles. P.O. Box 70 (83707) 1221 W. Idaho St. Boise, ID 83702 Mr. Heber Carenter Page 2 of3 March 1,2010 7) Idaho Power wil verify the structural adequacy of the poles and verify that adequate clearances are maintained on the poles. Should pole modifications or replacement be required to accommodate RR's facilities, Idaho Power's crews wil perform the work at RR's expense. IfRR requires a new pole to be installed in the existing line ofIdaho Power's poles for any reason, Idaho Power's crews will install the new pole and RR will reimburse Idaho Power for all associated costs. Ownership of the new pole will remain with Idaho Power. 8) If in the future poles or facilities attched to poles are damaged, the pary responsible for the damage will be responsible for all associated costs. RR will be responsible for repairs or replacement of its distribution facilities and its crews will perform the repairs. Idaho Power's crews will be used to repair or replace the poles and facilities attched to its poles except for RR's distribution facilities. If Idaho Power crews are present before RR is on site and RR distribution facilities must be repaired, replaced or relocated to eliminate a safety hazard, Idao Power will perform the necessar work on the distrbution facilities at RR's expense. 9) Unless Idaho Power and RR agree otherwse on a case-by-case basis, should poles require replacement for reasons other than damage, emergency restoration or to accommodateRR's distribution facilities, Idaho Power will replace the pole at no cost to RR. RR will transfer RR's distribution facilities to the new pole at RR's expense. 10) RR will, prior to Februar 1 of each year, submit to Idaho Power curent proof of liabilty insurance, in an amount not less than $1,000,000, listing Idao Power as an additional insured. 11) Each pary will indemnify and hold the other harmless, including each paries owners, parents, subsidiaries, affiiates, agents, directors and employees against any and all suits or claims by third-paries including liabilties, claims, judgments, losses, orders, awards, damages, costs, fines, penalties, costs of defense and attorney's fees to the extent they arse from or in connection with actual or alleged fault or negligence associated with the facilities the paries respectively own, operate, and maintain under this Agreement.
