RECITALS A. Lessor is in the railroad transportation business and owns or controls a system of rail tracks ("Lessor's Track(s)") and various real properties associated therewith, including certain Premises as described below which Lessee desires to lease from Lessor. B. Lessor has agreed to lease to Lessee the Premises, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations provided herein. AGREEMENTS In consideration of the mutual covenants herein, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows: Section 1. Premises and Term. A. Lessor leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor, subject to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, that certain parcel of real property, situated in the City of Kent, County of King, State of Washington, along Line Segment 0051, Mile Post 15.58 to 16.86 and constituting the shaded area shown upon Print No. 52415, dated March 3, 2023 a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof("Premises"). B. Lessee leases the Premises from Lessor beginning May 1, 2023 ("Commencement Date"), and shall continue until terminated by either party as provided in this Section 1(B). This Lease may be terminated by either party, at any time, without cause, for convenience, by serving upon the other party written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days in advance. Upon the expiration of the time specified in such notice, this Lease and all rights of Lessee shall absolutely cease. C. Upon termination, either (i) Lessor may retain from prepaid rent, as an additional charge for use of the Premises, a sum equal to three (3) months Base Rent (as defined below), and any unearned portion of the annual Base Rent, in excess of such retainage, paid in advance shall be refunded to Lessee or (ii) if Lessor has not been paid sufficient Base Rent to satisfy the above retainage, then Lessee shall pay Lessor a sufficient sum so that, together with sums already held by Lessor, Lessor shall hold a sum equal to three (3) months Base Rent which Lessor shall retain as an additional charge for use of the Premises, and such additional sum shall be paid by Lessee within thirty (30) days of termination of the Lease. D. Each consecutive twelve-month period this Lease is in effect, beginning with the Effective Date of this Lease, is herein called a "Lease Year." E. Lessee acknowledges that it is assuming all risks associated with Lessor's right to terminate this Lease at any time as provided above, and (i) Lessor gives no assurance that Lessor will delay termination of this Lease for any length of time whatsoever, (ii) Lessee may expend money and effort during the term of this Lease which may not ultimately be of any benefit to Lessee if Lessor terminates this Lease, but nonetheless, Lessor shall have the right to terminate the Lease if Lessor determines in its sole and absolute discretion that Lessor BNSF- Indefinite Term Lease—Land Form 205;Rev. 07/01/14 - 1 - DocuSign Envelope ID:7D7A9EFA-B7A6-41 ED-91 C6-2EEA9BCED4B6 desires to terminate, and (iii) in no event shall Lessor be deemed to have any legal obligations to continue to lease the Premises for any length of time. Section 2. Use and Compliance. A. Lessee may use the Premises for the sole and exclusive purpose of installing and maintaining Lessee owned chain link trespass fencing and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Lessor. Lessee shall respond to Lessor's reasonable inquiries regarding the use or condition of the Premises. B. Lessee shall comply with all Laws applicable to Lessee, the Premises, this Lease and Lessee's activities and obligations hereunder, and shall have the sole responsibility for costs,fees, or expenses associated with such compliance. As used herein, the term "Laws"shall mean any and all statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, rules or regulations or any order, decision, injunction,judgment, award or decree of any public body or authority having jurisdiction over Lessee, the Premises, this Lease, and/or Lessee's obligations under this Lease, and shall include all Environmental Laws (as defined in Section 4(A)). C. If any governmental license or permit is required or desirable for the proper and lawful conduct of Lessee's business or other activity in or on the Premises, or if the failure to secure such a license or permit might in any way affect Lessor, then Lessee, at Lessee's expense, shall procure and thereafter maintain such license or permit and submit the same to inspection by Lessor. Lessee, at Lessee's expense, shall at all times comply with the requirements of each such license or permit. Section 3. Rent. A. Lessee shall pay as rental for the Premises, in advance, an amount equal to Zero Dollars and 00/100 cents ($0.00)annually during the term of the Lease, ("Base Rent"). Base Rent shall increase 3% annually during the term of the Lease. Lessor reserves the right to change rental rates as conditions warrant. Billing or acceptance by Lessor of any rental shall not imply a definite term or otherwise restrict either party from canceling this Lease as provided herein. Either party hereto may assign any receivables due it under this Lease; provided, however, such assignments shall not relieve the assignor of any of its rights or obligations under this Lease. All rent and other monetary payments under this Lease from Lessee to Lessor shall be delivered solely to the following address: BNSF Railway Company PO Box 676160 Dallas TX 75267-6160 Lessor shall have the right to designate at any time and from time to time a different address for delivery of such payments by written notice to Lessee pursuant to the notice provisions of Section 36 below. No rent or other payment sent to any other address shall be deemed received by Lessor unless and until Lessor has actually posted such payment as received on the account of Lessee, and Lessee shall be subject to all default provisions hereunder, late fees and other consequences as a result thereof in the same manner as if Lessee had failed or delayed in making any payment. B. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor utilizes the rental collection system involving direct deposit of monies received through a financial institution selected by Lessor, which precludes Lessor's ability to exercise rejection of a rental payment before Lessee's check is cashed. Lessee agrees that as a condition of Lessor granting this Lease Lessee hereby waives any rights it may have under law to force continuation of this Lease due to Lessor having accepted and cashed Lessee's rental remittance. Lessor shall have the option of rejecting Lessee's payment by refunding to Lessee the rental amount paid by Lessee, adjusted as set forth in this Lease, and enforcing the termination provisions of this Lease.

Lessee shall pay the Base Rent and all additional amounts due pursuant to Section 9 as and when the same become due and payable, without demand, set-off, or deduction. Lessee's obligation to pay Base Rent and all amounts due under this Lease is an independent covenant and no act or circumstance, regardless of whether such act or circumstance constitutes a breach under this Lease by Lessor, shall release Lessee of its obligation to pay Base Rent and all amounts due as required by this Lease. D. If any Base Rent or any payment under Section 9 or any other payment due by Lessee hereunder is not paid within five (5) days after the date the same is due, Lessor may assess Lessee a late fee ("Late Fee") in an amount equal to 5% of the amount which was not paid when due to compensate Lessor for Lessor's administrative burden in connection with such late payment. In addition to said Late Fee, Lessee shall pay interest on the unpaid sum from the due date thereof to the date of payment by Lessee at an annual rate equal to (i)the greater of(a)for the period January 1 through June 30, the prime rate last published in The Wall Street Journal in the preceding December plus two and one-half percent (2 1/2%), and for the period July 1 through December 31, the prime rate last published in The Wall Street Journal in the preceding June plus two and one- half percent (2 1/2%), or (b) twelve percent (12%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Section 4. Environmental. A. Lessee shall strictly comply with all federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations in its occupation and use of the Premises, including, but not limited to, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (RCRA), the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Oil Pollution Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, and CERCLA (collectively referred to as the "Environmental Laws"). Lessee shall not maintain any treatment, storage, transfer or disposal facility, or underground storage tank, as defined by Environmental Laws, on the Premises. Lessee shall not release or suffer the release of oil or hazardous substances, as defined by Environmental Laws, on or about the Premises. B.

Lessee shall use its best efforts to promptly respond to any release on or from the Premises. Lessee also shall give Lessor's Manager Environmental Leases immediate notice of all measures undertaken on behalf of Lessee to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation and shall provide to Lessor's Manager Environmental Leases copies of all reports and/or data regarding any investigations or remediations of the Premises. C. In the event that Lessor has notice from Lessee or otherwise of a release or violation of Environmental Laws on the Premises which occurred or may occur during the term of this Lease, Lessor may require Lessee, at Lessee's sole risk and expense, to take timely measures to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation affecting the Premises or Lessor's right-of-way. D. Lessee shall promptly report to Lessor in writing any conditions or activities upon the Premises which create a risk of harm to persons, property or the environment and shall take whatever action is necessary to prevent injury to persons or property arising out of such conditions or activities; provided, however, that Lessee's reporting to Lessor shall not relieve Lessee of any obligation whatsoever imposed on it by this Lease. Lessee shall promptly respond to Lessor's request for information regarding said conditions or activities. E. Hazardous Materials are not permitted on the Premises except as otherwise described herein. Lessee expects to use on the Premises the following Hazardous Materials: None, and to store on the Premises the following Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 4(F) below): None; provided, however, that Lessee may only use and store the listed Hazardous Materials in such amounts as are necessary and customary in Lessee's industry for the permitted uses hereunder ("Permitted Substances").

Use or storage on the Premises of any Hazardous Materials not disclosed in this Section 4(E) is a breach of this Lease. F. For purposes of this Section 4, "Hazardous Materials" means all materials, chemicals, compounds, or substances (including without limitation asbestos, petroleum products, and lead-based paint) identified as hazardous or toxic under Environmental Laws. G. Lessor may, at its option prior to termination of this Lease, require Lessee to conduct an environmental audit of the Premises through an environmental consulting engineer acceptable to Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, to determine if any noncompliance or environmental damage to the Premises has occurred during Lessee's occupancy thereof. The audit shall be conducted to Lessor's satisfaction and a copy of the audit report shall promptly be provided to Lessor for its review. Lessee shall pay all expenses for any remedial action that may be required as a result of said audit to correct any noncompliance or environmental damage, and all necessary work shall be performed by Lessee prior to termination of this Lease. Section 5. Access to Adjacent Property by Lessee. If access to and from the Premises can be accomplished only through use of Lessor's property adjacent to the Premises, such use is granted for ingress and egress only and on a non-exclusive basis, subject to such restrictions and conditions as Lessor may impose by notice to Lessee. Lessor shall have the right to designate the location or route to be used. Lessee understands and agrees that all of the terms and obligations under this Lease applicable to Lessee shall also be applicable to Lessee with respect to Lessee's use of any property adjacent to the Premises which Lessee may use just as though the property has been specifically described as part of the Premises, including, without limitation, the indemnity provisions of Section 13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 5 shall not grant Lessee any right to cross any of Lessor's Tracks. Any such crossing rights may only be granted by a separate written agreement between Lessor and Lessee. Section 6. Access to Premises by Lessor. A.

B. For purposes stated in this Section 6, Lessor will at all times have keys with which to unlock all of the doors and gates on the Premises, and Lessee will not change or alter any lock thereon without Lessor's permission.

Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has given material concessions for the acknowledgements and provisions contained in this Section 8, and that Lessor is relying on these acknowledgments and agreements and would not have entered into this Lease without such acknowledgements and agreements by Lessee. B. If improvements are necessary for Lessee's use of the Premises, Lessee, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, shall, on or after the Commencement Date, construct and install such improvements to the Premises which are necessary for Lessee's use of the Premises and are acceptable to Lessor in Lessor's sole discretion ("Lessee Improvements"). The construction and installation of any Lessee Improvements shall be subject to Lessor's prior written approval of plans and specifications for such Lessee Improvements to be prepared by Lessee and submitted to Lessor for approval as set forth below, such approval to be in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.

In the event of any disapproval, Lessor shall specify the reasons for such non-approval.

If Lessor specifies objections to the plans and specifications or general contractor as herein provided and Lessor and Lessee are unable to resolve the objections by mutual agreement within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of written notice thereof, Lessee, as its sole remedy, to be exercised not later than ten (10)days after the expiration of said thirty (30) days period, may terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessor. Upon approval of the plans and specifications by Lessor, Lessor and Lessee shall sign the same, and they shall be deemed a part hereof.

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be required to furnish to Lessee any utility or other services. If this Lease is a transfer of an existing lease, Lessee must make arrangements with the present lessee for payment of any delinquent and current taxes, utilities, and other charges prior to taking possession. If such arrangements are not made, Lessee agrees to pay all such taxes, utilities, and other charges. If Lessor should make any such payments, Lessee shall promptly upon demand reimburse Lessor for all such sums. B. Should the Premises be subject to special assessment for public improvements in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) or less during any Lease Year, Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor the amount in full. Should the assessment exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00)during any Lease Year then such excess shall be paid by Lessor, but the Base Rent herein shall be increased by an amount equal to twelve percent (12%) of such excess payable for each Lease Year such amounts are payable.

Lessee shall not place, permit to be placed, or allow to remain, any permanent or temporary material, structure, pole, or other obstruction within (i) 8'/2 feet laterally from the centerline of any of Lessor's Tracks on or about the Premises (nine and one-half(9-1/2)feet on either side of the centerline of any of Lessor's Tracks which are curved) or(ii) 24 feet vertically from the top of the rail of any of Lessor's Tracks on or about the Premises ("Minimal Clearances"); provided that if any law, statute, regulation, ordinance, order, covenant or restriction ("Legal Requirement") requires greater clearances than those provided for in this Section 10, then Lessee shall strictly comply with such Legal Requirement. However, vertical or lateral clearances which are less than the Minimal Clearances but are in compliance with Legal Requirements will not be a violation of this Section 10, so long as Lessee strictly complies with the terms of any such Legal Requirement and posts a sign on the Premises clearly noting the existence of such reduced clearance. Any such sign shall be painted with black and white reflective paint. B. Lessor's operation over any Lessor's Track on or about the Premises with knowledge of an unauthorized reduced clearance will not be a waiver of the covenants of Lessee contained in this Section 10 or of Lessor's right to recover for and be indemnified and defended against such damages to property, and injury to or death of persons, that may result therefrom. C. Lessee shall not place or allow to be placed any freight car within 250 feet of either side of any at- grade crossings on Lessor's Tracks. Section 11. Repairs; Maintenance. A.

Lessee agrees to waive its right of recovery against Railroad for all claims and suits against Railroad. In addition, its insurers, through the terms of the policy or through policy endorsement, waive their right of BNSF- Indefinite Term Lease—Land Form 205;Rev. 07/01/14 - 11 - DocuSign Envelope ID:7D7A9EFA-B7A6-41 ED-91 C6-2EEA9BCED4B6 subrogation against Railroad for all claims and suits. The certificate of insurance must reflect the waiver of subrogation endorsement. Lessee further waives its right of recovery, and its insurers also waive their right of subrogation against Railroad for loss of its owned or leased property or property under Lessee's care, custody, or control. Lessee is not allowed to self-insure without the prior written consent of Railroad. If granted by Railroad, any deductible, self-insured retention or other financial responsibility for claims shall be covered directly by Lessee in lieu of insurance. Any and all Railroad liabilities that would otherwise, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, be covered by Lessee's insurance will be covered as if Lessee elected not to include a deductible, self-insured retention or other financial responsibility for claims. Prior to accessing the Premises, Lessee shall furnish to Railroad an acceptable certificate(s) of insurance including an original signature of the authorized representative evidencing the required coverage, endorsements, and amendments.. The policy(ies) shall contain a provision that obligates the insurance company(ies) issuing such policy(ies) to notify Railroad in writing at least 30 days prior to any cancellation, renewal, substitution or material alteration. This cancellation provision shall be indicated on the certificate of insurance. Upon request from Railroad, a certified duplicate original of any required policy shall be furnished. Any insurance policy shall be written by a reputable insurance company acceptable to Railroad or with a current Best's Guide Rating of A-and Class VII or better, and authorized to do business in the state(s) in which the Premises is located. Lessee represents that this Lease has been thoroughly reviewed by Lessee's insurance agent(s)/broker(s), who have been instructed by Lessee to procure the insurance coverage required by this Lease. Allocated Loss Expense shall be in addition to all policy limits for coverages referenced above. Not more frequently than once every five years, Railroad may reasonably modify the required insurance coverage to reflect then-current risk management practices in the railroad industry and underwriting practices in the insurance industry. If any portion of the operation is to be contracted by Lessee, Lessee shall require that the contractor shall provide and maintain insurance coverages as set forth herein, naming Railroad as an additional insured, and shall require that the contractor shall release, defend and indemnify Railroad to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as Lessee is required to release, defend and indemnify Railroad herein. Failure to provide evidence as required by this Section 17 shall entitle, but not require, Railroad to terminate this Lease immediately. Acceptance of a certificate that does not comply with this section shall not operate as a waiver of Lessee's obligations hereunder. The fact that insurance (including, without limitation, self-insurance) is obtained by Lessee shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Lessee including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Lease. Damages recoverable by Railroad shall not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage. For purposes of this Section 17, Railroad shall mean "Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC", "BNSF Railway Company" and the subsidiaries, successors, assigns and affiliates of each. Section 18.

Lessee shall not use, install or permit to be installed or used any wells on the Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor. Section 19. Default. A. An "Event of Default" by Lessee shall have occurred hereunder if any of the following shall occur: (i) if Lessee violates any safety provision contained in this Lease; (ii) if Lessee fails to pay rent or any other monetary payment hereunder when due or fails to perform any other obligations under this Lease and such failure continues thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee of Lessee's failure to make such payment or perform such obligations; (iii) if a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction over the Premises for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, trustee, custodian or other officer having similar powers over Lessee or over all or a substantial part of the property of Lessee shall be entered; or if Lessee becomes insolvent or makes a transfer in fraud of creditors; or an interim receiver, trustee or other custodian of Lessee or of all or a substantial part of the property of Lessee shall be appointed or a warrant of attachment, execution, or similar process against any substantial part of the property of Lessee shall be issued and any such event shall not be stayed, dismissed, bonded or discharged within thirty(30)days after entry, appointment or issuance; (iv) if the Premises is abandoned or vacated by Lessee. B. If an Event of Default occurs as provided above, Lessor may, at its option, (i)terminate this Lease by serving five (5) days notice in writing upon Lessee, in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor, without prejudice to any claim for arrears of rent or breach of covenant, (ii) proceed by appropriate judicial proceedings, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance or observance by Lessee of the applicable provisions of this Lease or to recover damages for a breach thereof, (iii) cure the default by making any such payment or performing any such obligation, as applicable, at Lessee's sole expense, without waiving or releasing Lessee from any obligation, or (iv) enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same without terminating the Lease and, without obligations to do so relet the Premises or any part thereof as the agent of Lessee and in such event, Lessee shall be immediately liable to Lessor for all costs and expenses of such reletting, the cost of any alterations and repairs deemed necessary by Lessor to effect such reletting and the full amount, if any, by which the rentals reserved in this Lease for the period of such reletting exceeds the amounts agreed to be paid as rent for the Premises for the period of reletting. The foregoing rights and remedies given to Lessor are and shall be deemed to be cumulative and the exercise of any of them shall not be deemed to be an election excluding the exercise by Lessor at any time of a different or inconsistent remedy. If, on account of breach or default by Lessee of any of Lessee's obligations hereunder, it shall become necessary for the Lessor to employ an attorney to enforce or defend any of Lessor's rights or remedies hereunder, then, in any such event, any reasonable amount incurred by Lessor for attorneys'fees shall be paid by Lessee. Any waiver by Lessor of any default or defaults of this Lease or any delay of Lessor in enforcing any remedy set forth herein shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue any remedy at a later date or terminate this Lease for any subsequent default or defaults, nor shall any such waiver in any way affect Lessor's ability to enforce any Section of this Lease. The remedies set forth in this Section 19 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies that Lessor may have at law or in equity, and the applicable statutory period for the enforcement of a remedy will not commence until Lessor has actual knowledge of a breach or default.

Section 21. Survival of Obligations. Notwithstanding any expiration or other termination of this Lease, all of Lessee's indemnification obligations and any other obligations that have accrued but have not been satisfied under this Lease prior to the termination date shall survive such termination. Section 22. Holding Over. If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises to Lessor upon the termination of this Lease, and Lessor does not consent in writing to Lessee's holding over, then such holding over will be deemed a month-to-month tenancy.
