Page 7 of 8 Exhibit C STANDARD PROVISIONS FOR HIGHWAY-RAILROAD AGREEMENTS 1. The COMPANY, for performance of its work, may bill the ROAD AUTHORITY monthly for the ROAD AUTHORITY’S share of the actual costs and expenses incurred. These progressive invoices may be rendered on the basis of the estimated percentage of the work completed. The ROAD AUTHORITY after verifying that the bill is reasonable and proper shall promptly reimburse the COMPANY. The COMPANY, upon the completion of its work, shall send the ROAD AUTHORITY a detailed final statement of actual expenses it incurred, including allowable additives. After the ROAD AUTHORITY’S representatives have checked the final statement and have agreed that the costs are reasonable and proper insofar as they are able to ascertain, the ROAD AUTHORITY shall reimburse the COMPANY in the amount, less previous payments, if any, equal to the amount billed. After the ROAD AUTHORITY representatives have audited the expenses incurred by the COMPANY and final inspection of the installation has been made, the COMPANY shall reimburse the ROAD AUTHORITY for any item (or items) of expense found by the ROAD AUTHORITY representatives to be ineligible for reimbursement. 2. It is understood that the project herein contemplated shall be subject to all appropriate Federal laws, rules, regulations, orders and approvals pertaining to all agreements in general. The use of said guidelines for reimbursement between the parties hereto shall not be deemed to require reimbursement of the ROAD AUTHORITY by the Federal Highway Administration as a condition precedent to the ROAD AUTHORITY’S obligation. 3. All work herein provided to be done by the ROAD AUTHORITY or its contractor or contractors on the right-of-way or upon, over, under or across the railroad tracks of the COMPANY shall be done in a manner satisfactory to the COMPANY and shall be performed as such time and in such manner as not to interfere unnecessarily with the movement of trains or traffic upon the tracks of the COMPANY.

The COMPANY shall have the right to furnish all such flagging or protective service as in its judgment is necessary, and the ROAD AUTHORITY or its contractor or contractors shall reimburse the COMPANY for the cost thereof. Wherever safeguarding of trains or traffic or the COMPANY is mentioned in this agreement, it is intended to cover all users of the COMPANY’S track having permission for such use. 4. The ROAD AUTHORITY shall require its contractor or contractors, upon completion of the work, to remove all machinery, equipment, temporary buildings, false work, debris and rubbish from COMPANY right-of-way, to provide proper drainage away from COMPANY track, and to leave the tracks and right-of-way in a neat condition, satisfactory to the COMPANY’S Chief Engineer or his representative. 5. Any contract between the ROAD AUTHORITY and its contractor or subcontractor to perform the work herein provided to be done by the ROAD AUTHORITY shall require that the contractor or sub-contractor protect DAKOTA MINNESOTA AND EASTERN RAILROAD, and any other railroad occupying or using COMPANY right-of-way or lines of railroad with the permission of the COMPANY, against all loss and damage arising from the activities of the contractor or any of its subcontractors or agents, and shall further provide that the contractor
