Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, CSX and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and NSC and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall retain all their existing rights with respect to the Assets. Section 2.2. Allocation of Certain Assets. As soon as practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the Closing Date, CSX and NSC shall use their best efforts to designate the Unallocated Assets as either NYC Allocated Assets, PRR Allocated Assets or Retained Assets. CSX and NSC shall continue to monitor such designation up to, and shall update such designation as of, the Closing Date. Such designation shall be as agreed between CSX and NSC in accordance with the following guidelines (which shall not, unless CSX and NSC otherwise agree, affect Assets already designated as Allocated Assets or Retained Assets pursuant to Schedule 1 hereto): (a) Unallocated FF&E shall be designated as follows: (i) all FF&E located in or along Allocated Assets shall be designated in the same manner as such Allocated Assets, (ii) all FF&E located in or along Retained Assets shall be designated as Retained Assets and (iii) all FF&E not designated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall be designated as NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets by value in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage.

If CSX and NSC have not agreed on the particular items or categories of Corporate Memorabilia to be designated as NYC Allocated Assets and PRR Allocated Assets, respectively, they will alternate selecting Corporate Memorabilia having a value of 5% (as near as may be) of the total value of all of the Corporate Memorabilia, with the party having first choice selected by lot. (c) The parties recognize the importance of assuring that the acquisition of CRC does not create shipping disruptions for CRC customers and hence are hereby making arrangements to carry out CRC's Transportation Contracts in the manner hereinafter set forth. (i) All CRC Transportation Contracts in effect as of the Closing Date ("Existing Transportation Contracts") shall remain in effect through their stated term and the obligations thereunder shall be carried out thereafter by CSXT utilizing NYC Allocated Assets and NSR utilizing PRR Allocated Assets, or pursuant to the Shared Assets Agreements, as the case may be. (ii) CSXT and NSR shall allocate the responsibilities to serve customers under the Existing Transportation Contracts in a manner to achieve reliability and proper service to the customers, and the revenues and expenses associated with the Existing Transportation Contracts and related services shall be allocated and accounted for between CSXT and NSR in accordance with the Percentage Division to the extent that the performance of contracts allocated by Percentage Division departs from the Percentage Division. (iii) The following decision rules shall be applied on an annual basis with tentative settlements to the extent required by subsection (c)(ii) on a quarterly basis 60 days after the end of the quarter and an annual true-up 90 days after the end of the year: (A) For purposes of this Subsection (c), "Local" means a station that is not Dual and is served solely by CSXT or NSR, and "Dual" means a station with line-haul service by both, including service accessed by one or the other through trackage rights or haulage, in each case as of the date of this Agreement giving effect to the effectuation of the Closing. For purposes of the definition of "Dual", the term includes (a) as to commodities that are handled by rail before or after shipment by water, all stations at which such commodities are handled in Ocean, Gulf and Great Lakes port cities to which each of CSXT and NSR has line haul service to any such station, and (b) as to intermodal service, all intermodal facilities in any city in which each of CSXT and NSR has line haul service to any intermodal facility. Further, references to "Off Line" stations in this Subsection (c) do not include a situation where such station is Local or Dual to NSR or CSXT or a third railroad whose sole connection is with CSXT or NSR. (B) In addition, for purposes of this Subsection (c) only, the phrase "Percentage Division" shall mean 50% CSXT - 50% NSR. (C) Revenues shall be allocated as follows: (aa) Where the Existing Transportation Contract calls for transportation from an origin station located on the PRR Allocated Assets, the allocation shall be solely to NSR, except as follows: (x) If the origin station is Local to NSR and the destination station is on the NYC Allocated Assets and Local to CSXT, then the allocation shall be on a joint line basis between NSR and CSXT with the interchange to be negotiated between NSR and CSXT and the revenues to be split 30% to NSR, 30% to CSXT, and the remainder to be based upon a mileage prorate; and (y) If, notwithstanding its location on the PRR Allocated Assets, the origin station is Dual and the destination station is on the NYC Allocated Assets and Local to CSXT, then the allocation shall be solely to CSXT. (bb) Where the Existing Transportation Contract calls for transportation from an origin station located on the NYC Allocated Assets, the allocation shall be solely to CSXT, except as follows: (x) If the origin station is Local to CSXT and the destination station is on the PRR Allocated Assets and Local to NSR, then the allocation shall be on a joint line basis between CSXT and NSR with the interchange to be negotiated between CSXT and NSR and the revenues to be split 30% to CSXT, 30% to NSR, and the remainder to be based an a mileage prorate; and (y) If, notwithstanding its location on the NYC Allocated Assets, the origin station is Dual and the destination station is on the PRR Allocated Assets and Local to NSR, then the allocation shall be solely to NSR. (cc) Where the Existing Transportation Contract calls for transportation where at least one of the origin and destination stations is Dual or which is located in a Shared Assets Area or located on or accessed from the tracks of the former Monongahela Railway or Waynesburg Southern Railway ("MGA") (collectively, a "Specified Station"), the following shall apply as to such Existing Transportation Contract: (x) If the other station is located on a PRR Allocated Asset and is Local to NSR, then the allocation shall be solely to NSR; (y) If the other station is located on an NYC Allocated Asset and is Local to CSXT, then the allocation shall be solely to CSXT; and (z) If the other station is a Specified Station, then CSXT and NSR shall divide the allocation on the Percentage Division (by revenue) annually. (dd) Where the origin station is Off Line and the destination station is within the former CRC territory, the following shall apply as to the Existing Transportation Contract: (x) If the destination station is located on an NYC Allocated Asset and is Local to CSXT, the allocation shall be solely to CSXT. (y) If the destination station is located on a PRR Allocated Asset and is Local to NSR, the allocation shall be solely to NSR. (z) If the destination Station is Dual or is located in a Shared Assets Area or in MGA, CSXT and NSR shall divide the allocation on the Percentage Division (by revenue) annually. (ee) Where the origin station is within the former CRR territory and the destination station is Off Line, the following shall apply as to the Existing Transportation Contracts: (x) If the origin station is located on an NYC Allocated Asset and is Local to CSXT, the allocation shall be solely to CSXT. (y) If the origin station is located on a PRR Allocated Asset and is Local to NSR, the allocation shall be solely to NSR. (z) If the origin station is Dual or is located in a Shared Asset Area or in MGA, CSXT and NSR shall divide the allocation on the Percentage Division (by revenue) annually. (ff) Where the origin station and the destination station are both Off Line, CSXT and NSR shall divide the allocation on the Percentage Division. (gg) As to any joint line Existing Transportation Contract which involves either CSXT and CRC and NSR and CRC, that Transportation Contract shall be treated, for the purposes of the above rules, as if it involved an NSR or CSXT Local origin or off-line destination (as the case may be) and only that portion of the transportation over former CRC Routes shall be governed by the foregoing. (hh) Where, as of the Closing Date, CRC has a proportional rate Existing Transportation Contract which provides a through rate in combination with a separate proportional rate CSXT or NSR transportation contract, the separate CSXT or NSR transportation contract shall be unaffected and only the CRC portion of the transportation shall be governed by the foregoing. (iv) There shall be a presumption that responsibility for the performance of contracts shall follow the allocations referred to above and that presumption, except in extraordinary cases, shall control in all cases except those provided for in Sections 2.2(c)(iii)(C)(cc)(z), 2.2(c)(iii)(C)(dd)(z), and 2.2(c)(iii)(C)(ee)(z). Exceptions in those cases just mentioned shall be made to promote the use of efficient routes, high-quality service and consistency of service to customers, and in that connection there shall be a presumption against dividing a contract between a single destination and a single origin between the two carriers. (v) In the case of a single Existing Transportation Contract which covers multiple origin and destination pairs, allocation of revenue shall be on the basis of each pair but CSXT and NSR shall cooperate as necessary to assure that the shippers under such Existing Transportation Contracts receive the benefits (e.g., volume pricing, refunds, etc.)to which they are entitled thereunder, notwithstanding any division of responsibility in providing the transportation. (vi) Nothing in this Section 2.2(c) shall limit any right of the parties to provide service to or enter into transportation contracts with shippers with Existing Transportation Contracts. (d) All Contracts granting any unrelated Person the right to bury fiber optic cable longitudinally along Assets shall be designated as Retained Assets (if any Assets in respect of which such rights are given are Allocated Assets, NYC or PRR, as the case may be, will license or otherwise grant rights to CRC or its Affiliates to maintain the subject matter of the Contracts granting such rights), except where such rights relate only to either NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets, in which case such Contracts shall be designated in the same manner as such Allocated Assets; provided that NYC and PRR shall, to the extent permitted under such Contracts that are designated as Retained Assets, be given equal access to CRC's or its Affiliate's rights to use capacity on such fiber optic cable and shall participate equally in any other benefits of such Contracts. (e) Promptly after the date hereof, CSXT and NSR each shall appoint up to five members of a committee (the "Contracts Team"). The Contracts Team shall meet and not later than January 1, 1998 shall negotiate an equitable designation of all Contracts (other than Transportation Contracts and Contracts otherwise allocated or designated under the terms hereof) based on the following guidelines: (i) Contracts that relate predominantly to either NYC Allocated Assets, PRR Allocated Assets or Retained Assets will be designated in the same manner as such Assets. (ii) Contracts (A) that benefit CRC as a whole (such as unfilled system purchase and supply Contracts), (B) that relate predominantly to Retained Assets (such as certain intermodal terminal Contracts) or (C) that the Contract Team cannot designate for whatever reason, shall be Retained Assets and CRC shall, to the extent permitted under the relevant Contract, subcontract its duties, obligations and rights under such Contract to NYC or PRR by value in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 8.5(b). (f) Promptly after the date hereof, NSR and CSXT each shall appoint up to five members of a committee (the "Communications Team"). The Communications Team shall meet and not later than January 1, 1998 shall negotiate an equitable designation of all radio licenses held or owned by CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates ("Radio Licenses") based on the following guidelines: (i) In general, Radio Licenses will be designated as PRR Allocated Assets or NYC Allocated Assets depending on the designation of the Allocated Assets to which the Radio Licenses most relate. The designation of Radio Licenses will be made in such manner as to facilitate and permit continued operations on the PRR Allocated Assets and the NYC Allocated Assets substantially as conducted before the Closing Date. (ii) Base Radio Licenses shall be designated and reissued on their present frequencies to PRR or NYC, depending on whether the Allocated Assets on or near which the base radio operates are NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets. If the base radio is used for train operations on a line that includes both PRR Allocated Assets and NYC Allocated Assets, the Radio License shall be allocated in the same manner as the Allocated Assets on which the base radio is located and the party allocated such Radio License shall grant to the other party the right to operate a base station and other needed radio equipment on that frequency. (iii) Mobile Radio Licenses (such as those relating to engine radios and end-of-train-devices) will be designated as NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets giving effect to the relative operating needs and existing systems of each of NYC and/or CSXT, on the one hand, and PRR and/or NSR on the other hand. (iv) Radio Licenses for which the Communications Team can not agree upon the designation as PRR Allocated Assets or NYC Allocated Assets prior to the Closing Date or that are required for CRC operations under the Shared Assets Agreements will be Retained Assets and held by CRR for the benefit of both NYC and PRR. (g) In connection with its negotiations under Section 2.2(f), the Communications Team also shall not later than January 1, 1998 negotiate an equitable designation in accordance with CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage of all Unallocated Assets that are signal and communications equipment or facilities and leased communications services. This will include all signal and communications equipment and facilities and leased services that are (i) used by CRC system-wide, (ii) used in conjunction with the operation of both a Route included in NYC Allocated Assets and a Route included in PRR Allocated Assets (such as a microwave tower), or (iii) of a character that precludes such Assets from being logically segregated and designated by Route. In making its designation, the Communications Team shall consider, among other things, Asset value and each party's relative ability to maintain current operations and compatibility with existing equipment. Items for which the Communications Team cannot agree upon the designation as PRR Allocated Assets or NYC Allocated Assets prior to the Closing Date or that are required for CRC operations under the Shared Assets Agreements will be Retained Assets and held for the benefit of both NYC and PRR, although it is the intention of the parties that such signal and communications equipment or facilities and leased communications equipment (other than items required for CRC operations under the Shared Assets Agreements) be designated to the extent possible as Allocated Assets. (h) System stockpiles of inventory, material and supplies of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates, regardless of location (other than such Assets designated as PRR Allocated Assets pursuant to Section 2.7) are Pooled Assets that shall be Retained Assets at the Closing Date unless otherwise designated hereunder. Promptly after the date hereof, CSXT and NSR each shall appoint up to four members of a committee (the "Inventory Team"). In addition to its functions pursuant to Section 2.7, the Inventory Team shall not later than January 1, 1998 determine whether and to what extent system stockpiles of inventory, material and supplies of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates (i) shall be designated as NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets (such designation to be in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage) or (ii) shall be Retained Assets as to which NYC and CSXT, on the one hand, and PRR and NSR, on the other hand, shall have access to in accordance with the procedure to be determined by the Inventory Team pursuant to this Section 2.2(h). In making its identification and designation, the Inventory Team shall specify that (i) inventory, materials and supplies acquired for the purpose of fulfilling third-party Contracts shall be designated in the same manner as and be applied to fulfill such Contracts and (ii) inventory, materials and supplies held for maintenance of facilities that are included in Allocated Assets shall be designated in the same manner as such Allocated Assets. System stockpiles or portions thereof that are not specifically designated by the Inventory Team shall be Retained Assets. The Inventory Team shall determine an appropriate procedure for NYC and CSXT, on the one hand, and PRR and NSR, on the other hand, to have access to all system stockpiles of inventory, material and supplies that are Retained Assets by value in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage. (i) Unless otherwise agreed upon by CSX and NSC prior to the Closing, all computer software and associated data and engineering CADD systems owned or used by CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates which may be copied and used by both NYC and PRR without the permission of, or payment to, any Person shall be designated in the same manner as the hardware on which it is stored; provided that PRR shall have the right to copy and to receive a non-exclusive license of such computer software, rights, data, licenses and systems that are designated as NYC Allocated Assets and NYC shall have the right to copy and to receive a non-exclusive license of such computer software, rights, data, licenses and systems that are designated as PRR Allocated Assets. Unless otherwise agreed upon by CSX and NSC prior to the Closing, all computer software and associated data and engineering CADD systems owned or used by CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates which may not be copied or used (or which may not be copied or used without the permission of or payment to any Person) by both NYC and PRR shall be Retained Assets, provided that CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to assign, license or otherwise make available on an equal basis to each of CSX, NSC or their designees, upon request, the nonexclusive use of all or any portion of such software, data, licenses and systems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be required to maintain any item of software on computer equipment included in Allocated Assets, or be required to make license or other payments for such software, for a period longer than 12 months. (j) To the extent not otherwise agreed upon by CSX and NSC prior to the Closing Date, all Pooled Assets shall be Retained Assets available for the benefit of both CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other hand in accordance with CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage. If CSX and NSC agree prior to the Closing Date that specified Pooled Assets (or groups of Pooled Assets) should be allocated to NYC or PRR, such specified Pooled Assets shall, at the Closing, be designated as NYC Allocated Assets or PRR Allocated Assets, as the case may be. Section 2.3. System Support Operations; Dispatching. (a) The parties recognize that each SSO Facility has been used by CRR and CRC to provide a support function benefiting the CRC rail system as a whole (e.g., system-wide crew management or signal repair support functions). It is expected that each of CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other hand, may require the use or benefit of or access to the functions and support provided by the SSO Facilities for a period of time after the Closing Date. Accordingly, the SSO Facilities shall be included in Retained Assets and will continue to be owned by CRR, CRC or its Affiliates. Until a party terminates its use of an SSO Facility as provided below, (i) the costs of operating such SSO Facility shall be included in Corporate Level Liabilities and (ii) such SSO Facility shall be operated for the benefit of both CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other hand, based on their operating and administrative needs. (b) Each of CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other hand, shall have the right, upon six months' prior written notice, to notify the other that it no longer needs the use of or access to all or any specified portion of the functions performed at a particular SSO Facility. If the party receiving such notice notifies the other party within thirty days of receipt of such notice that it no longer needs the use of or access to all or the same specified portion of the functions performed at a particular SSO Facility, then the effective date of the notice sent by the receiving party shall be deemed to be the same as that of the notice which it received from the notifying party. If the notice relates to less than the entire SSO Facility, it shall state with specificity the particular function(s) and/or Continuing CRC Management position(s) covered by the notice. Notices may be given at any time before or after the Closing Date and in each case shall specify an effective date which shall be a date on or after the Closing Date that is not less than six months after the date such notice is given. From and after the effective date of a notice, all costs associated and incurred after the effective date of such notice with the SSO Facility (or portion thereof) and Continuing CRC Management positions identified in the notice shall cease to be Corporate Level Liabilities and will be allocated entirely to and be the responsibility of the party continuing to use the functions performed at the SSO Facility or portion thereof. Costs associated with an SSO Facility (or portion thereof) or the Continuing CRC Management employees performing work at that SSO Facility which are not terminated by such notice but continue to be incurred for the benefit of both parties will continue to be Corporate Level Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Separation Costs associated with Continuing CRC Management employees after the Control Date shall be allocated and paid as provided in Article VI. (c) In the case of an SSO Facility as to which both CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other hand, have discontinued use of the entire SSO Facility by each giving six-month termination notices that have become effective, CSX and NSC will cause CRC and its Affiliates to take such action as may be appropriate to discontinue the use of or provide for the disposition of such SSO Facility (which may include a disposition to NYC or PRR), and costs associated with such SSO Facility between the effective date of the second notice and such discontinuance or disposition shall be Corporate Level Liabilities and the cash proceeds, if any, of such discontinuance or disposition shall, subject to Section 4.4, be for the benefit of CRC. (d) The full costs of maintaining and operating SSO Facilities shall include all direct and indirect costs (excluding return on investment and system overheads), compensation and benefits, purchased services, insurance, facility costs and computer processing costs. CSX and NSC shall establish appropriate accounting systems and controls designed to capture and track such costs. (e) To facilitate the division of dispatching functions currently performed for the five CRC operating divisions, NSC and CSX agree that the territorial boundaries of the operating divisions will be changed and dispatching functions will be assigned and transferred as follows: (i) Dearborn division: The Dearborn division office building will be included in PRR Allocated Assets. All dispatching functions at such facility will be assigned to PRR and NSR except (A) those for dispatching the Cleveland East, Cleveland terminal and other Dearborn division segments included in the NYC Allocated Assets, which functions will be assigned and transferred to NYC and CSXT, and (B) those for dispatching of the Detroit Shared Assets Area which functions will be assigned and transferred to CRC and will be relocated to a neutral site. (ii) Indianapolis division: The Indianapolis division office building will be included in NYC Allocated Assets. All dispatching functions at such facility will be assigned to NYC and CSXT except those for dispatching the Marion branch, the Cincinnati line, the West Virginia secondary and other Indianapolis division segments included in the PRR Allocated Assets, which functions will be assigned and transferred to PRR and NSR. (iii) Pittsburgh division: The Pittsburgh division office building will be included in PRR Allocated Assets. All dispatching functions at such facility will be assigned to PRR and NSR except those for dispatching Pittsburgh division segments included in the NYC Allocated Assets, which functions will be assigned and transferred to NYC and CSXT. (iv) Philadelphia division (Mt. Laurel, NJ): The Philadelphia division office building will be included in the Retained Assets. All dispatching functions at such facility will be assigned to PRR and NSR except (A) those for dispatching the Trenton line, the River line, the Popes Creek secondary, the Herbert secondary, the Landover line and other Philadelphia division segments included in the NYC Allocated Assets, which functions will be assigned and transferred to NYC and CSXT, and (B) those for dispatching the North Jersey Shared Assets Area and the South Jersey/Philadelphia Shared Assets Area and segments included in the Retained Assets, which functions will be assigned to CRC. (v) Albany division: The Albany division office building will be included in the NYC Allocated Assets. All dispatching functions will be assigned to NYC and CSXT except those for dispatching the Southern tier, including the Corning secondary, the New Jersey transit line, the Buffalo line and other Albany division segments included in the PRR Allocated Assets, which functions will be assigned and transferred to PRR and NSR. The parties intend that the dispatching desks, equipment and similar property associated with a dispatching function will, to the extent practicable, follow the assignment of that function to the party designated pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) above, to enable such party to perform dispatching necessary in connection with the Assets allocated to or used by such party. In addition, the parties recognize that interim dispatching services may be required to be provided to each other for the above Routes during a brief interim period (which shall be no longer than reasonably necessary) and that the parties may charge reasonable fees for such services. Section 2.4. Transition Period Accommodation. (a) To the extent that (i) the CRR headquarters office building in Philadelphia, PA or (ii) the CRR information technology center in Philadelphia, PA (both of which are NYC Allocated Assets) were used by CRR or CRC prior to the Closing Date for the benefit of the CRR and CRC system as a whole, CSX will (or will cause CSXT or NYC to) furnish and make available for the benefit of NSC or its Affiliates access to and use of such NYC Allocated Assets (including, without limitation, office and other space, equipment, computer systems, and data and other information) as are necessary or convenient in order to reasonably accommodate the needs of NSC, NSR and PRR for the services and functions performed at such facilities for a transition period not to exceed (A) twenty-four months following the Closing Date in respect of the CRR headquarters office building in Philadelphia, PA and (B) six months following the Closing Date (extendable for an additional six months at NSC's option) in respect of the CRR information technology center in Philadelphia, PA. CSX may accommodate such needs of NSC, NSR and PRR for such services and functions using premises in Philadelphia, PA other than the premises referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.4(a); provided that NSC consents to such arrangement, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld. CSX, CSXT or NYC, as the case may be, shall furnish and make available to NSC, NSR or PRR such NYC Allocated Assets at those facilities as may be reasonably requested by NSC, NSR or PRR; provided that the nature and scope of the use of such NYC Allocated Assets shall not be greater than the nature and scope of the use of such NYC Allocated Assets for the benefit of the CRR and CRC system prior to the Closing Date. CSX may charge NSC, NSR or PRR, as the case may be, charges calculated at fair market value by CSX and NSC for such use of such NYC Allocated Assets. (b) To the extent that (i) the CRC car shop at Hollidaysburg, PA or (ii) the CRC locomotive shop at Altoona, PA (both of which are PRR Allocated Assets) were used by CRR or CRC prior to the Closing Date for the benefit of the CRR and CRC system as a whole, NSC will (or will cause NSR or PRR to) reasonably accommodate the needs of CSX, CSXT or NYC for the services and functions performed at such facilities for a transition period not to exceed twenty-four months following the Closing Date. NSC may accommodate such needs of CSX, CSXT and NYC for such services and functions using premises other than the premises referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.4(b); provided that CSX consents to such arrangement, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld. NSC, NSR or PRR, as the case may be, shall furnish and make available to CSX, CSXT or NYC such services and functions at those facilities as may be reasonably requested by CSX, CSXT or NYC; provided that the nature and scope of such services and functions shall not be greater than those which were provided in respect of the NYC Allocated Assets by those facilities prior to the Closing Date. NSC may charge CSX, CSXT or NYC, as the case may be, charges calculated at fair market value by CSX and NSC for such services and functions. (c) In complying with Section 2.4(a) and Section 2.4(b), (i) the accommodating party will provide or make available the Assets or the services, functions and systems of, and data and information from, the specified facilities to the extent it can reasonably do so and (ii) if the accommodating party so requests, the party accommodated will use its reasonable commercial efforts to discontinue its need for such Assets or services, functions, information, systems and data at the earliest time practicable following, but not later than twenty-four months after, the Closing Date (or earlier time as provided in Section 2.4(a) in respect of the information technology center in Philadelphia, PA). Nothing herein shall preclude a party from agreeing to make available the Assets or services, functions and systems of and information and data from, its facilities to the using party after such maximum periods provided for in Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b), but it shall not be required to do so. (d) CSX will (or will cause CSXT or NYC to) make available to CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates the CRR headquarters office building and the CRR information technology center in Philadelphia, PA (both of which are NYC Allocated Assets) for use by those employees identified in clause (b) of the definition of "Continuing CRC Management" in Section 1.1. Unless otherwise agreed to by CSX and NSC, CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates shall have the right to use those facilities for such Continuing CRC Management employees to perform such general, administrative and technical services and functions for an interim period not to exceed (i) twenty-four months following the Closing Date in respect of the CRR headquarters office building in Philadelphia, PA and (B) six months following the Closing Date (extendable for an additional six months at NSC's option) in respect of the CRR information technology center in Philadelphia, PA. CSX may move such facilities to new premises or may move the Continuing CRC Management using the facilities to new premises; provided that NSC consents to such arrangement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and; provided further that CSX and NSC agree on the new fair market value of such facilities which will be Corporate Level Liabilities pursuant to this Section 2.4(d). Until a party terminates its use of the support functions and services of any such Continuing CRC Management employee as provided below, the costs of employing such employee and the fair market value of related facilities shall be Corporate Level Liabilities and such employee's services will be available for the benefit of both CSXT and NYC, on the one hand, and NSR and PRR, on the other hand, based on the operating and administrative needs of each. (e) Each of CSX and NSC and their respective Affiliates shall have the right, upon six months' prior written notice, to notify the other party that the notifying party no longer needs the support functions and services provided by any one or more of the Continuing CRC Management employees referred to in Section 2.4(d). The notice shall state with specificity the particular Continuing CRC Management position(s) covered by the notice. If the party receiving such notice notifies the other party within thirty days of receipt of such notice that it no longer needs the support functions and services provided by the same (or more) continuing CRC Management employees as are included in the first notice, then the effective date of such second notice shall be deemed to be the same as that of the first notice. Notices may be given at any time before or after the Closing Date and in each case shall specify an effective date on or after the Closing Date, but not less than six months after the date such notice is given. From and after the effective date of such a notice, all costs associated with the Continuing CRC Management positions identified in the notice shall cease to be Corporate Level Liabilities but shall be allocated entirely to and be the responsibility of the party continuing to use the functions and services provided by such Continuing CRC Management positions; provided that in the case of Continuing CRC Management positions as to which both parties have given termination notices that have become effective, all costs associated with such Continuing CRC Management positions after the date the second termination notice becomes effective shall be Corporate Level Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Separation Costs associated with all Continuing CRC Management employees after the Closing Date shall be allocated and paid as otherwise provided in Article VI. Section 2.5. Trackage, Haulage, Shared Asset and Other Operating Agreements. On the Closing Date and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of CRC, CSXT and NSR shall execute and deliver, and the parties shall cause their respective Affiliates and NYC and PRR to execute and deliver, the following agreements to which it is a party: (a) The Trackage Rights Agreements: A Trackage Rights Agreement covering each of the Routes listed in Item 1 of Schedule 4 and containing the terms and provisions applicable to such Route as set forth in Item 1 of Schedule 4 will be executed by the parties designated in such Item 1. (b) The CSXT/NSR Haulage Agreements: A CSXT/NSR Haulage Agreement covering each of the Routes listed in Item 2 of Schedule 4 and containing the terms and provisions applicable to such Route as set forth in Item 2 of Schedule 4 will be executed by the parties designated in such Item 2. (c) The Shared Assets Agreements. (d) The Other Operating Agreements (in respect of Other Operating Agreements for which the relevant Exhibit hereto sets forth all or some of the terms of an agreement rather than the form of agreement, the parties shall use their best efforts to agree to the form of such Other Operating Agreements prior to the Closing Date). Section 2.6. Equipment. The parties intend that all Equipment will be allocated between NYC and PRR (either as Allocated Assets or as Retained Assets which are subject to the NYC Equipment Agreement or the PRR Equipment Agreement) by series and condition such that NYC and PRR each receives Equipment by value in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage. Disputes concerning such allocation shall be subject to binding arbitration under Section 11.12. After the Equipment has been allocated, the parties may agree in their sole discretion to changes in the allocation giving consideration to other factors. In furtherance of the foregoing sentence, the parties will appoint representatives to various teams to consider appropriate adjustments to allocations of Equipment as described below: (a) Locomotive Equipment. Promptly after the date hereof, CSXT and NSR shall each appoint up to three members of a committee (the "Locomotive Team"). The Locomotive Team shall meet not later than January 1, 1998, to consider an adjustment to the allocation of locomotive Equipment (including appurtenances and assigned or related equipment such as locomotive radios) to NYC and PRR, taking into consideration the following guidelines: (i) The Locomotive Team shall agree upon parameters to be considered in any adjustment to the allocation of locomotive Equipment to NYC and PRR, including CRC's book value, actual numbers of locomotives, horsepower, tractive effort, powered axles, ownership and encumbrances, age and condition. (ii) The CSXT appointees and the NSR appointees on the Locomotive Team shall separately develop and present to each other proposals for any adjustments to the allocation of locomotive Equipment to NYC and PRR. (iii) In its negotiations, the Locomotive Team may consider CRC yard service, minimizing maintenance costs, enhancing reliability, and meeting service needs. The Locomotive Team may consider trades of CSXT and NSR locomotives to avoid the division of small groups of locomotive Equipment and to minimize the number of different models each would have as a result of the allocation. (iv) If agreement is not reached prior to March 31, 1998, the Locomotive Team will submit a list of disputed issues for resolution to the chief operating officers of CSXT and NSR. (b) Rolling Stock Equipment. Promptly after the date hereof, CSXT and NSR each shall appoint up to four members of a committee (the "Rolling Stock Team"). The Rolling Stock Team shall meet not later than January 1, 1998 to consider an adjustment to the allocation of rolling stock Equipment (including cabooses and non-revenue rolling stock but excluding Work Equipment) to NYC and PRR, taking into consideration the following guidelines: (i) Consideration may be given to class and builder's lot, series within a given AAR car type and AAR Depreciated Value. Consideration may be given to splitting between NYC and PRR so as to minimize ongoing maintenance and repair cost, facilitate the assignment of car reporting marks, permit customary and efficient handling, movement and interchange of rolling stock in compliance with the AAR Car Service Rules and other applicable industry requirements. (ii) All rolling stock Equipment that CSXT and NSR agree is either (A) obsolete or (B) damaged beyond economical repair necessary to return the same to service, may be grouped in a separate category and allocated between NYC and PRR in accordance with CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage (based on AAR Depreciated Value). (iii) Consideration will be given to traffic and service requirements on the Routes comprising the Allocated Assets based on the most current traffic information (including current and anticipated traffic density, customer needs and transportation requirements). (iv) Head-of-train-devices and end-of-train-devices may be allocated between NYC and PRR based on current transportation needs and train starts in respect of the NYC Allocated Assets and PRR Allocated Assets, as the case may be. (v) If agreement is not reached prior to March 31, 1998, the Rolling Stock Team will submit a list of disputed issues to the chief operating officers of CSXT and NSR. (c) Work Equipment. Promptly after the date hereof, NSR and CSXT each shall appoint up to three members of a committee (the "Work Equipment Team"). The Work Equipment Team shall, not later than January 1, 1998, meet to consider an adjustment to the allocation of all Work Equipment that is part of the Unallocated Assets. The Work Equipment Team may allocate such Work Equipment to NYC and PRR by value in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage based on category of equipment, then model, then age and then condition. If agreement is not reached prior to March 31, 1998, the Work Equipment Team will submit a list of disputed issues to the chief operating officers of CSXT and NSR. (d) Assignment. CSXT and NSR recognize that it may be desirable to cause CRC to assign and transfer ownership of certain of the allocated Equipment to NYC and PRR as part of the NYC Allocated Assets or the PRR Allocated Assets, respectively, to the extent such transfer is consistent with existing leases and financing agreements relating to such Equipment. If CSXT and NSR agree, Indebtedness related to Equipment may also be assigned to and assumed by NYC and PRR as part of the NYC Allocated Liabilities and the PRR Allocated Liabilities, respectively. (e) Lease of Equipment. Equipment that is allocated to NYC and PRR as provided in this Section 2.6 will be made available to NYC and PRR as follows: (i) Equipment that is included in the Retained Assets shall be leased by CRC or its Affiliates to NYC or PRR, as the case may be, pursuant to the NYC Equipment Agreement or the PRR Equipment Agreement and will thereupon be leased or otherwise made available by NYC to CSXT and by PRR to NSR pursuant to the CSXT Equipment Agreement or the NSR Equipment Agreement, respectively; and (ii) Equipment that CSXT and NSR agree shall be assigned and transferred by CRC or its Affiliates to NYC or PRR, as the case may be, will be included in the NYC Allocated Assets or the PRR Allocated Assets, respectively, and will be leased or otherwise made available by NYC to CSXT and PRR to NSR pursuant to the CSXT Equipment Agreement or the NSR Equipment Agreement, respectively. Liabilities arising from the ownership, operation and maintenance of Equipment shall be borne by the parties as provided for in the relevant Equipment Agreements. If the foregoing arrangements are impracticable in respect of any Equipment due to the requirements of any Contracts relating to such Equipment, the parties will negotiate other arrangements to achieve substantially the same effect. (f) Equitable Adjustment. The parties recognize that the allocation of Equipment in general and the allocation of Equipment that is collateral with respect to Indebtedness may not reflect precisely CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage and that an equitable adjustment may be required with respect to Corporate Level Liabilities or otherwise to assure that each of NYC and PRR receives the benefits and bears the costs of Equipment as nearly as practicable in proportion to CSX's and NSC's respective Percentage. The Locomotive Team, the Rolling Stock Team and the Work Equipment Team, assisted as necessary by CSX and NSC accounting personnel, shall specify an appropriate adjustment mechanism which may include, but need not include or be limited to, trades between CSXT and NSR of locomotive Equipment, rolling stock Equipment and/or Work Equipment. Section 2.7. Inventory at Altoona and Hollidaysburg. (a) As soon as practicable before the Closing Date, the Inventory Team shall determine the Base Inventory. "Base Inventory" (i) will consist of and mean all rolling-stock-related and locomotive-related inventory and supplies (including rolling-stock-related and locomotive-related system stockpiles) of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates located at the Altoona and Hollidaysburg shops as of a date at least thirty days prior to the anticipated Closing Date to be agreed by the Inventory Team, and (ii) will exclude (A) all obsolete or damaged material and supplies and (B) all inventory acquired for the purpose of fulfilling third-party Contracts which inventory will follow and be applied to fulfillment of such Contracts. The Inventory Team will code and group the items of inventory, materials and supplies included in the Base Inventory as "new," "reconditioned," "re-usable," and the like, and will value the groups based on CRC's material costs or other mutually agreeable methodology (excluding additives and overheads). The sum of the values of the groups will be the value of the Base Inventory. (b) Rolling-stock-related and locomotive-related inventory and supplies (including rolling-stock-related and locomotive-related system stockpiles) of CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates located at the Altoona and Hollidaysburg shops as of the Closing Date will be included in the PRR Allocated Assets. To the extent that, after the Closing Date, any work is performed at the request and for the account of CSXT or NYC at the Altoona shop or the Hollidaysburg shop pursuant to Section 2.4(b), CSXT and NYC will not be charged for inventory and supplies used in such work up to an amount of inventory and supplies equal to 42% of the total value of the Base Inventory, but only to the extent that such work requires material and supplies of the types included in the Base Inventory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NSR or PRR will separately charge CSXT or NYC for the fair market value of work performed for the account of CSXT or NYC. Section 2.8. Allocated and Retained Liabilities. The parties agree that on and as of the Closing Date (x) NYC shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge as and when due all of the NYC Allocated Liabilities, (y) PRR shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge as and when due all of the PRR Allocated Liabilities, and (z) CRC and its Affiliates shall retain and pay, perform and discharge as and when due all of the Retained Liabilities. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties agree that, in addition to Employee Related Liabilities that are designated as Allocated Liabilities or Retained Liabilities under Article VI, the Allocated Liabilities and the Retained Liabilities shall consist of the following: (a) All Liabilities of CRR, CRC or their Affiliates, other than Environmental Liabilities (which are expressly allocated pursuant to Section 2.8(b)), Corporate Level Liabilities (which are expressly allocated pursuant to Section 2.8(f)), Employee Related Liabilities (which are expressly allocated pursuant to Article VI), Liabilities referred to in Section 2.9 or Liabilities expressly allocated to any Person pursuant to any of the Ancillary Agreements, including Liabilities associated with the handling and disposition of Actions, that (i) arise on or after the Closing Date and relate predominantly to NYC Allocated Assets shall be NYC Allocated Liabilities, and (ii) arise on or after the Closing Date and that relate predominantly to PRR Allocated Assets shall be PRR Allocated Liabilities. (b) Environmental Liabilities (other than Environmental Liabilities expressly allocated to any Person pursuant to any of the Ancillary Agreements) shall be designated as follows: (i) Environmental Liabilities that relate predominantly to NYC Allocated Assets shall be NYC Allocated Liabilities; (ii) Environmental Liabilities that relate predominantly to PRR Allocated Assets shall be PRR Allocated Liabilities; and (iii) Environmental Liabilities that do not relate predominantly to Allocated Assets shall be Corporate Level Liabilities; provided that, in the case of Environmental Liabilities allocated to either NYC or PRR pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, NYC or PRR, as the case may be, will be reimbursed by CRC as amounts are expended by NYC or PRR, as the case may be, in respect of an Environmental Liability to the extent of the amount of the reserve existing in respect of such Environmental Liability as of April 8, 1997, reduced by any payments made and charged against such reserve prior to the Closing Date, except that NYC or PRR, as the case may be, will repay the amounts under this Section 2.8(b) to CRC to the extent that they receive the proceeds of any insurance recoveries in respect of an Allocated Liability which exceed such Allocated Liability net of such payments made. (c) All Liabilities (other than Liabilities expressly allocated to any Person pursuant to any of the Ancillary Agreements) associated with the handling and disposition of FELA Claims made on or after the Control Date shall be NYC Allocated Liabilities, PRR Allocated Liabilities or Corporate Level Liabilities based upon the final allocation under this Article II of the Asset where the incident or incidents giving rise to the FELA Claim occurred, or, if the FELA Claim arises from an incident or incidents occurring at more than one location, based upon the final allocation under this Article II of the Asset most significantly involved. (d) Except as provided in Section 2.8(a), Section 2.8(b) or Section 2.8(c), all Liabilities associated with the handling and disposition of Actions arising from incidents which occur in part prior to the Closing Date and in part on or after the Closing Date shall be allocated as follows: (i) that portion of the Liability which is fairly attributable to incidents occurring prior to the Closing Date shall be Corporate Level Liabilities; and (ii) that portion of the Liability which is fairly attributable to incidents occurring on or after to the Closing Date shall be NYC Allocated Liabilities, PRR Allocated Liabilities or Corporate Level Liabilities based upon the final allocation under this Article II of the Asset where the incident or incidents giving rise to the Action occurred, or, if the Action arises from an incident or incidents occurring at multiple locations, based upon the final allocation under this Article II of the Asset most significantly involved. (e) Except as provided in Section 2.9(b) or Section 2.9(c), all Liabilities incurred after April 8, 1997 relating to the Merger Agreement, including without limitation Liabilities for CRR Shares, if any, that are put pursuant to the Pennsylvania Control Transaction Law, shall be Retained Liabilities. (f) Except as provided in Sections 2.8(b) through (e), all Liabilities that arise prior to the Closing Date and all Corporate Level Liabilities shall be Retained Liabilities. Section 2.9. Other Liabilities. (a) Each of CSX and NSC shall bear its own Transaction Expenses. (b) CSX shall bear and pay all of CSX's, CRR's, the Surviving Corporation's and their respective Affiliates' Liabilities to current or former CRR shareholders with respect to the handling (which CSX shall control) and disposition (which CSX shall control) of claims pending on April 8, 1997 in shareholder Actions pending on April 8, 1997 (other than Actions brought by NSC or its Affiliates) together with all related litigation costs (which shall not include CRR legal fees incurred prior to April 8, 1997). (c) CSX's, Green's, CRR's and the Surviving Corporation's, on the one hand, and NSC's and AAC's on the other hand, Liability with respect to the handling (which shall be controlled by the liability bearing party) and disposition (which shall be controlled by the liability bearing party) of disclosure-based claims based on disclosures made prior to April 8, 1997 brought by current or former CRR shareholders in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Amended Second Offer (as defined in the April 8 Agreement) or the transactions contemplated thereby based on the accuracy or completeness of information supplied by such party, together with all related litigation costs (which shall not include CRR legal fees incurred prior to April 8, 1997), shall be borne solely by CSX or NSC, respectively. Section 2.10. Interline Accounts and Allocation. (a) The parties acknowledge that interline railroads often allocate certain assets and liabilities arising from interline activities between and among themselves on the basis of AAR or industry agreements and rules, including, without limitation, AAR rules for the allocation of freight revenues and freight loss and damage claims. If any Asset or Liability which is allocated under this Agreement to NYC or PRR would, in the usual course of business under applicable AAR or industry agreement, rule or practice, be allocated between or among participating interline railroads, then the subsequent allocation of that Asset or Liability between or among NYC, PRR and/or any railroad subsidiary of either CSX or NSC under that agreement, rule or practice shall not in any manner be affected by this Agreement and the parties shall accept and be governed by that subsequent reallocation under the applicable AAR or industry agreement, rule or practice, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement which may be construed or interpreted to the contrary, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.2 and Section 2.8. The parties shall also accept and be governed by any provision of any AAR or industry agreement, rule or practice applicable to processes and procedures for dealing with the circumstances underlying any such subsequent reallocation (including without limitation the investigation and processing of third party claims), notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement which may be construed or interpreted to the contrary, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 8.14 and Section 10.2. (b) If any dispute, controversy or claim arises with regard to the subsequent reallocation of any portion of any asset or liability allocated under Section 2.10(a), and the pertinent AAR or industry agreement, rule or practice provides for arbitration, then the arbitration provisions of that agreement, rule or practice shall, as to that subsequent reallocation, supersede any provisions of this Agreement which may be construed or interpreted to the contrary, including, without limitation, the arbitration provisions of Section 11.12. Section 2.11. Insurance Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the proceeds of any insurance recoveries from insurance carried by CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date covering Assets, Retained Liabilities or Allocated Liabilities, which are received on or after the Closing Date, shall accrue to the benefit of and be held by or paid over to CRC, NYC or PRR in proportion to the obligation each bears under this Agreement for the particular Liabilities to which the insurance recoveries are applicable. ARTICLE III CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE Section 3.1. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated in Article II and Article VI (the "Closing") shall take place at a place to be mutually agreed by CSX and NSC on the third business day following the date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article IX shall have been satisfied or waived, or at such other time, date and place as the parties shall agree upon (the "Closing Date"). Section 3.2. Pre-Closing Actions.

Each function shall be defined in terms of a description of the function, the number of positions required to perform the function and general descriptions of the nature of each function, including whether it is intended to be performed on an interim or on-going basis. CSX and NSC jointly may enter into one or more agency agreements by which CSX or NSC or their respective Affiliates may perform any Continuing CRC Management functions. (d) To the extent implementing agreements are required by STB-imposed conditions in order to effect the transactions contemplated by Article II and Article VI, each party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain implementing agreements reasonably determined by the parties to be necessary to effect such transactions. Where necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by Article II and Article VI, the parties will jointly negotiate (and if no agreement is reached will jointly arbitrate to reach an agreement) an implementing agreement to which they will be parties with the employee representative(s) of the appropriate craft or class of employees of each carrier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be required by this Section 6.1(d) to agree to implementing agreements which it, in its reasonable judgment, determines to be contrary to its business interests.

(d) Subject to Sections 6.2(a) and (e), if an employee of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates on the Control Date who is subject to any protective conditions imposed by the STB pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements cannot obtain employment with CRC, PRR, NYC, CSX, NSC or their respective Affiliates after the Control Date, then the Separation Costs in respect of such employee shall be included among Corporate Level Liabilities, NYC Allocated Liabilities or PRR Allocated Liabilities on the basis of whether the employee performed the preponderance of his or her service in the six months preceding the first day of the month in which the Control Date occurred at or in respect of a Retained Asset, an NYC Allocated Asset or a PRR Allocated Asset. The Separation Costs of employees as to whom no reasonable determination can be made shall be Corporate Level Liabilities, but shall be assigned on an alternating basis to NYC and PRR for the purpose of administering the claims. (e) If an employee of CRC, CSX, NSC, PRR, NYC or their respective Affiliates who is subject to any protective conditions imposed by the STB pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements moves his or her employment from one of such parties to another of such parties on or after the Control Date (including any employee in respect of whom the Separation Costs have already been allocated to one of CRC, PRR, NYC, CSX, NSC or their respective Affiliates), responsibility for such employee's Separation Costs arising thereafter shall be assumed by the new employer; provided that any relocation costs shall be the responsibility of the first employer. (f) Separation Costs associated with employees who were employed by CSX or NSC or their Affiliates on the day preceding the Control Date will be the sole responsibility of such employer. (g) Separation Costs associated with employees who are, as of the Control Date, non-agreement employees of CRR or CRC (including payments to be made by CSX, CRR or the Surviving Corporation under the Merger Agreement) shall be Corporate Level Liabilities. Compensation and other expenses after the Control Date associated with those non-agreement CRC employees who are not designated as Continuing CRC Management and who are not employed by either CSX or NSC, or their respective Affiliates, shall be Corporate Level Liabilities until such time as such employees are no longer employed by CRC. (h) Compensation and other expenses (excluding Separation Costs) for agreement employees (other than Continuing CRC Management) working jobs at or in respect of NYC Allocated Assets shall be the sole responsibility of CSXT. Compensation and other expenses (excluding Separation Costs) for agreement employees (other than Continuing CRC Management) working jobs at or in respect of PRR Allocated Assets shall be the sole responsibility of NSR. (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Separation Costs (other than payments made pursuant to the CRR Stay Bonus Program) under CRR or CRC plans and agreements (including the Third Amendment) for a CRC non-agreement employee who becomes employed after the Control Date by CSX or its Affiliates or NSC or its Affiliates, which Separation Costs arise subsequent to the date of such employment, will be borne by the employing party. Section 6.3. Non-Agreement Employee Benefit Plans. (a) The employee benefit plans, programs and policies which currently are provided to the non-agreement employees of CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates will continue to be provided to the non-agreement employees of CRC and its Affiliates and to non-agreement Continuing CRC Management on and after the Control Date, unless it is determined jointly by CSX and NSC that such benefits shall be changed; provided that CSX and NSC shall not make any changes in such plans, programs or policies that contravene Attachment A to the CRR Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection with the Third Amendment. The costs associated with such plans, programs and policies shall be Corporate Level Liabilities, except that Separation Costs shall be allocated and paid as otherwise provided herein. CSX and NSC jointly may enter into one or more agency agreements with CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates for CSX or NSC to provide any of such benefits, programs or policies. (b) Any employee benefit plans, programs and policies for the employees of NYC and its Subsidiaries shall be the sole responsibility of NYC and included in the NYC Allocated Liabilities. Any employee benefit plans, programs and policies for the employees of PRR and its Subsidiaries shall be the sole responsibility of PRR and included in the PRR Allocated Liabilities. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, NYC, PRR and CRC shall provide to each other any information that is necessary to determine whether any benefit plan is or continues to be tax qualified, and in the event that NYC, PRR or CRC reasonably determines that the benefit plans of NYC, PRR and CRC, when considered together, may cause one or more benefit plans to lose or fail to obtain their tax qualification, NYC, PRR and CRC shall agree to appropriate changes to prevent such loss of tax qualification. (c) CSX, NSC and CRC agree to take any actions permitted by law that are necessary or appropriate to determine the amount of excess assets in CRC benefit plans and to allow allocation to CSX and NSC or their respective Affiliates in proportion to their respective Percentage; provided that no such transfer shall reduce the assets remaining in any CRC defined benefit plans to a level that is less than 100% of the Liabilities for benefits on a termination basis as reasonably calculated by Price Waterhouse employing usual and customary methodology and assumptions and; provided further that no such transfer shall reduce the assets remaining in any other CRC benefit plan to a level that is less than 100% of the Liabilities for those other CRC benefit plans as reasonably calculated by Price Waterhouse. CSX, NSC and CRC shall reach an agreement as to the transfer of accrued benefits and related assets with respect to employees that are transferred. (d) Any Liabilities incurred prior to the Closing Date by CRR, CRC or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement, other than to the extent a Liability is funded under a CRC benefit plan, shall be Corporate Level Liabilities. Section 6.4 Residual Liability. The allocation of liabilities associated with the employees of CRR, CRC or any of their respective Affiliates hereunder is intended merely to assign primary responsibility for such liabilities among the parties. Nothing in the Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as a restriction or limitation of the duties and responsibilities of CRR, CRC, their respective Affiliates and CSX with respect to employee-related liabilities as set forth in the Merger Agreement and Attachment A to the CRR Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection with the Third Amendment.

Section 8.9. Restructuring of CRC. (a) It is the parties' intent that, at some time after the Closing Date, CRC will transfer PRR or the assets and liabilities of PRR to NSC, transfer NYC or the assets and liabilities of NYC to CSX or otherwise separate PRR (for the benefit of NSC) and NYC (for the benefit of CSX) from CRC in the most efficient manner for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the transaction separating PRR from CRC for the benefit of NSC hereinafter referred to as the "PRR Restructuring", and the transaction separating NYC from CRC for the benefit of CSX hereinafter referred to as the "NYC Restructuring"). A Restructuring shall not be consummated unless (i) CRC obtains a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") substantially to the effect that such Restructuring qualifies as a tax-free transaction (except with respect to gain or income required to be recognized with respect to intercompany items or excess loss accounts pursuant to regulations under Section 1502 of the Code or with respect to gain or income recognized in the Restructuring under Section 356 or Section 361 of the Code as the result of the receipt of "other property or money" within the meaning of such sections, provided that the amount of such gain or income recognized by CRR or its Affiliates is not substantial) under the Code (the "Ruling"), or the parties otherwise agree to proceed with such Restructuring on the basis of an opinion of tax counsel generally to the same effect, (ii) any required approval of the STB is obtained, (iii) Tax indemnities mutually satisfactory to CSX and NSC have been agreed to and (iv) the conveyance of the CRR Parent interests is structured in a way to ensure to the mutual satisfaction of CSX and NSC that after a Restructuring, NSC (in the case of the PRR Restructuring) and CSX (in the case of the NYC Restructuring) continue to hold their respective Percentage of the equity and 50 percent of the vote with respect to the Retained Assets and the Retained Liabilities and NSC (in the case of the PRR Restructuring) has no continuing interest whatsoever in NYC and CSX (in the case of the NYC Restructuring) has no continuing interest whatsoever in PRR. In addition, a PRR Restructuring shall not be consummated if, based upon the written opinion of outside tax counsel to CSX, such Restructuring would more likely than not impair the ability to consummate a subsequent NYC Restructuring, and a NYC Restructuring shall not be consummated if, based upon the written opinion of outside tax counsel to NSC, such Restructuring would more likely than not impair the ability to consummate a subsequent PRR Restructuring. The parties agree that the application referred to in Section 8.4(b) shall not seek the authority to effect any transaction referred to in this Section 8.5. (b) CRC shall seek a Ruling at the request of either CSX or NSC or both of them. If CRC seeks a Ruling at the request of either CSX or NSC or both of them, after consultation with the party or parties requesting the Ruling, CRC shall prepare the Ruling request and any supplements or materials relating thereto that are required to be submitted to the Service in connection with the Ruling request (each, an "IRS Submission"). Each IRS Submission shall be true and correct in all material respects, and all material facts relating to the requested Ruling shall be disclosed to the Service. CRC shall provide CSX and NSC with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each IRS Submission prior to the filing of such IRS Submission with the Service, and no IRS Submission shall be filed with the Service unless the party or parties requesting the Ruling have agreed in writing as to the contents of such IRS Submission prior to such filing. CRC shall provide CSX and NSC with copies of each IRS Submission as filed with the Service. Neither CRC nor its Affiliates or representatives shall conduct any communications with the Service concerning the Ruling request, including meetings or conferences with personnel from the Service, whether in person, telephonically or otherwise, without notifying CSX and NSC and giving CSX and NSC the opportunity to participate. CRC shall provide CSX and NSC with copies of any correspondence between CRC and the Service with respect to the Ruling request. (c) If the requirements of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the second sentence of Section 8.9(a) are satisfied and no opinion meeting the requirements of the third sentence of Section 8.9(a) is delivered with respect to a Restructuring, NSC (in the case of the PRR Restructuring) and CSX (in the case of the NYC Restructuring) shall have the right, consistent with the Ruling (or opinion of counsel, if applicable), to exchange some or all of its interests in CRR Parent for PRR (in the case of the PRR Restructuring) and NYC (in the case of the NYC Restructuring). At the request of PRR (in the case of a PRR Restructuring) or NYC (in the case of a NYC Restructuring) CRR Parent, CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates shall take all action necessary or convenient in the reasonable opinion of PRR (in the case of a PRR Restructuring) or NYC (in the case of a NYC Restructuring) to effect a Restructuring that is permitted under Section 8.9(a). Section 8.10. Provision of Corporate Records. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date CRC shall (a) deliver to or to the order of NYC all NYC Books and Records in the possession of CRC or its Affiliates and (b) deliver to or to the order of PRR all PRR Books and Records in the possession of CRC or its Affiliates; provided that Books and Records that relate to and are necessary for the operation of both the NYC Allocated Assets and the PRR Allocated Assets will be duplicated and included in both the NYC Books and Records and the PRR Books and Records; and provided further that copies of Books and Records necessary or useful to the operation of Shared Assets Areas, Continuing CRC Management, SSO Facilities and other Retained Assets shall be maintained at CRC. Such NYC Books and Records and PRR Books and Records shall be the property of NYC and PRR, respectively, but shall be retained and made available readily to CRC for review and duplication, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.11, until the earlier of notice from CRC that such records are no longer needed by CRC and the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, but in all events until the tax year to which the Books and Records pertain is closed or settled with the Service and/or state tax authorities, unless a longer retention period is otherwise required by law. Section 8.11. Access to Information. From and after the Closing Date, the parties shall afford (and CSX and NSC shall cause NYC and PRR to afford) each other and each other's authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access and duplicating rights (with copying costs to be borne by the requesting party) during normal business hours and at such other times as may be agreed upon to all books and records and documents, communications, items and matters, including computer programs and data within each other's knowledge, possession or control relating to the Assets, the Allocated Liabilities, the Retained Liabilities or the conduct of CRC's and its Affiliates' businesses, insofar as such access is reasonably required by a party or NYC or PRR and is consistent with applicable law (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause persons or firms possessing relevant items or information to give similar access). Items or information may be requested under this Section 8.11 only for the following purposes: audit, accounting, legal proceedings, litigation, tax preparation, transition planning and implementation planning purposes, as well as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations. Information shall be provided pursuant to this Section 8.11 in accordance with reasonable procedures established by the parties in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of Section 8.13 and 8.14. Section 8.12. Production of Witnesses and Individuals. From and after the Closing Date, CRR Parent, CRC, NYC, PRR, CSX and NSC shall use reasonable efforts to make available to each other, upon written request, their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for fact finding, consultation and interviews and as witnesses to the extent that any such person may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, the Assets, the Allocated Liabilities, the Retained Liabilities or the conduct of CRC's and its Affiliates' business. Except as otherwise agreed between the parties, the parties agree to reimburse each other for reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses (but not labor charges, salary payments or overheads) incurred by the other in connection with providing individuals and witnesses pursuant to this Section 8.12. Section 8.13. Confidentiality. The parties shall hold (and CSX and NSC shall cause NYC and PRR to hold), and shall cause their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of its independent legal counsel, by other requirements of law, all information furnished it by another party, NYC or PRR or their respective representatives pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) available to such Person on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the other Person, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such Person or (iii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the Person to which it was furnished), and no Person shall release or disclose such information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors who shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.13. In the event that a subpoena, discovery or other request that arguably calls for production or disclosure of such confidential information is received, the Person receiving such request must promptly notify in writing the Person whose information has been requested. The Person receiving such request shall provide the Person whose confidential information has been requested, a reasonable opportunity to review such information and to assert any rights it may have with respect to the potential disclosure of such confidential information. Each party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold confidential information concerning or supplied by the other parties, NYC or PRR if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information. Section 8.14. Privileged Matters. (a) The parties agree that from and after the Control Date CRC and its Affiliates will maintain, preserve and assert all privileges, including, without limitation, privileges arising under or relating to the attorney-client relationship (which shall include, without limitation, the attorney-client and work product privileges) that relate directly or indirectly to the Assets, the Allocated Liabilities or the Retained Liabilities or CRC's and its Affiliates' business for any period prior to the Closing Date ("Privileges"). CRC shall not waive any Privilege that could be asserted under applicable law without the prior written consent of CSX and NSC. The rights and obligations created by this Section 8.14 shall apply to all information as to which, but for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, CRC would have been entitled to assert or did assert the protection of a Privilege ("Privileged Information"), including but not limited to (i) any and all information generated prior to the Closing Date but which, after the Closing, is in the possession of CSX, NSC, NYC or PRR (ii) all communications subject to a Privilege occurring prior to the Closing Date between counsel for CRC and any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of CRC, regardless of whether such employee is or becomes an employee of CSX, NSC, NYC or PRR and (iii) all information generated, received or arising after the Closing that refers or relates to Privileged Information generated, received or arising prior to the Closing. (b) From and after the Control Date, upon receipt by CRC or any of its Affiliates of any subpoena, discovery or other request that arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information or if CRC or any of its Affiliates obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of CRC or any of its Affiliates has received any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information, CRC shall promptly notify in writing CSX, NSC, NYC and PRR of the existence of the request and shall provide CSX and NSC a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 8.14 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. CRC will not produce or disclose any information arguably covered by a Privilege under this Section 8.13 unless (i) CSX and NSC have both provided their written consent to such production or disclosure or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered a final, nonappealable order finding that the information is not entitled to protection under any applicable privilege. (c) If there is a reasonable likelihood that the waiver by CRC of any Privilege could expose CSX, NSC, NYC or PRR to Liability or could prejudice the other party's position in pending or threatened litigation, otherwise adversely affect CSX, NSC, NYC or PRR, CRC will promptly notify in writing CSX and NSC prior to such waiver, and, at CSX's and NSC's request, CRC will assert or preserve the Privilege, as applicable, if CRC's interests will not be adversely affected by its assertion or preservation of the Privilege. Section 8.15. Administration of Actions. After the Closing Date, (a) NYC shall have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of all Actions relating primarily to NYC, the NYC Allocated Assets, the NYC Allocated Liabilities or a Retained Liability (except for Retained Liabilities for which the monetary claim is more than $500,000 or injunctive relief is sought) which arose at the location of a NYC Allocated Asset, or with which a NYC Allocated Asset is most significantly involved (each, an "NYC Action"), and may settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any such NYC Action without the consent of CRC, NSC or PRR and (b) PRR shall have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of all Actions relating primarily to PRR, the PRR Allocated Assets, the PRR Allocated Liabilities, or a Retained Liability (except for Retained Liabilities for which the monetary claim is more than $500,000 or injunctive relief is sought), which arose at the location of a PRR Allocated Asset or with which a PRR Allocated Asset is most significantly involved (each a "PRR Action"), and may settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any such PRR Action without the consent of CRC, CSX or NYC; provided that neither NYC or PRR may settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any such Action without the prior written consent of the other if such settlement, compromise or consent to such judgment (i) includes any form of injunctive relief binding upon such other party or CRC or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such other party or CRC and any Affiliates of CRC subject to such Action of a full and final release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. After the Closing Date with respect to an Action not covered under clauses (a) or (b) of the foregoing sentence (including Actions relating to Corporate Level Liabilities), the handling, administration and disposition of such Actions shall be the joint responsibility of CSX and NSC and the costs thereof shall be Corporate Level Liabilities. In assigning joint responsibility for the administration, handling and disposition of Actions to CSX and NSC, hereunder it is not the parties' intent that CSX and NSC will actually administer, handle and dispose of such Actions jointly, but rather that CSX and NSR will agree on the most practical and efficient arrangements with the objective of eliminating unnecessary duplication of effort and minimizing overall costs. The costs and expenses of the administration and handling of such Actions shall be Corporate Level Liabilities; provided that the salaries of, expenses incurred by and overheads associated with full-time employees of CSX or NSC while engaged in investigating or handling such Actions shall be the responsibility of the employing party and shall not be Corporate Level Liabilities. Section 8.16. Administration of FELA Claims. (a) The administration, handling and disposition of FELA Claims (whenever made) that are Corporate Level Liabilities shall be (i) the responsibility of the party controlling the Allocated Asset where the incident or incidents giving rise to the FELA Claim occurred, or (ii) the responsibility of the party controlling the Allocated Asset most significantly involved if the FELA Claim arises from an incident or incidents occurring at multiple locations on Allocated Assets, or (iii) the joint responsibility of CSX and NSC if the FELA Claim arises from an incident or incidents occurring at unknown locations or a location not otherwise covered by clauses (i) or (ii) of this sentence. In assigning joint responsibility for the administration, handling and disposition of FELA Claims to CSX and NSC under the foregoing clause (iii), it is not the parties' intent that CSX and NSC will actually administer, handle and dispose of such actions jointly, but rather that CSX and NSR will agree on the most practical and efficient arrangements with the objective of eliminating unnecessary duplication of effort and minimizing overall costs. The costs and expenses of the administration, handling and disposition of (A) FELA Claims made prior to the Closing Date and (B) all other FELA Claims that are Corporate Level Liabilities, shall be Corporate Level Liabilities and shall be borne by CSX and NSC in proportion to their respective Percentages; provided that the salaries of, expenses incurred by and overheads associated with full-time employees of CSX or NSC while engaged in investigating or handling such FELA Claims shall be the responsibility of the employing party and shall not be Corporate Level Liabilities; provided, further that the party responsible for the administration of FELA Claims which are Retained Liabilities shall, before agreeing to any single settlement of a FELA Claim or group of related FELA Claims, involving a payment of more than $1 million, obtain the written consent of the other party. Failure of either party to respond to such a request for consent within fourteen days of receipt of such request shall be deemed to constitute consent. (b) The administration, handling and disposition of FELA Claims (and the costs and expenses thereof) that are made on or after the Control Date and that are NYC Allocated Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.8(c) hereof shall be the responsibility of CSX. The administration, handling and disposition of FELA Claims (and the costs and expenses thereof) that are made on or after the Control Date and that are PRR Allocated Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.8(c) hereof shall be the responsibility of NSC. Section 8.17. Tax Matters. (a) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, CRR and Green (i) shall timely and duly file, or cause to be timely and duly filed, all Tax Returns of CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) other than Taxes being contested in good faith, shall timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, all Taxes required to be paid by CRR, CRC or their respective Affiliates. From the Control Date until the Closing Date, CRR and Green, with respect to each of CRR, CRC and their respective Affiliates, shall not settle or compromise any Tax Liability, agree to any adjustment to any Tax attribute, change any method of accounting or make any election with respect to Taxes without first obtaining the prior written consent of CSX and NSC. CRR and its Subsidiaries agree to be included in a consolidated federal income tax return of Green. (b) From and after the Closing Date, the Tax Allocation Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of Green, CRR, CRC, CRR Industries, PRR and NYC with respect to Tax matters involving the operations of CRC, PRR and NYC. Section 8.18. Committees. Within 90 days following the execution of this Agreement, two committees shall be established by CSX and NSC: the "Buffalo Committee" and the "Vickers Committee". Both committees shall consist of representatives appointed by CSX and representatives appointed by NSC. The Buffalo Committee will examine the CP-Draw drawbridge and interlocking in Buffalo, New York and will investigate ways of minimizing or eliminating conflict between CSX and NSC traffic flows through the area after the Closing Date. The Vickers Committee will examine the Vickers crossing in Toledo, Ohio and will investigate ways of minimizing or eliminating conflict between CSX and NSC traffic flows through the area after the Closing Date. Within 90 days of appointment, each such committee will prepare a report detailing options for solving the traffic conflict problems, along with cost estimates for each such option. Section 8.19. Chicago Gateway Access. CSXT and NSR will preserve and enhance the independent competitive capability of each to move traffic to and through the Chicago Gateway (as defined in Schedule 3) by adhering to the requirements of Schedule 3. Section 8.20. Car Hire and Car Service. The parties recognize that industry rules, including the AAR Car Service Rules, may pose problems with respect to the payment and collection of car hire in connection with Equipment that is included in Retained Assets and that is used or operated with the Allocated Assets and with the Shared Assets Areas. The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts and take all actions, including seeking changes in industry rules, as may be necessary or appropriate to allow each party, in the most favorable manner possible, to collect car hire on the Equipment allocated to it pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof and to pay the car hire due for cars used or operated with Allocated Assets and with the Shared Assets Areas. ARTICLE IX CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE CLOSING Section 9.1. Conditions Precedent to Obligations. The respective obligations of CSX, NSC, CRR Parent, CRR and CRC to effect the transactions contemplated by Article II shall be subject to the fulfillment or mutual waiver at or prior to the Closing Date of the following conditions: (a) No preliminary or permanent injunction or other order or decree issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or any other legal restraint or prohibition which prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements shall be in effect and no statute, rule or regulation shall have been enacted by any Governmental Entity prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. (b) The STB shall have issued a decision (which decision shall not have been stayed or enjoined) that constitutes a final order approving, exempting or otherwise authorizing, as of such date, consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as may require such authorization and neither party shall have exercised a right to postpone pursuant to Section 8.4(c). (c) Each of CSX and NSC shall have reasonably determined that it has obtained sufficient labor implementing agreements so as to be authorized by law to effect the transactions contemplated by Article II and Article VI. ARTICLE X INDEMNIFICATION Section 10.1. Indemnification. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article X, CRR Parent and CRR jointly and severally shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other parties and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them from and against any and all Damages asserted against, relating to, imposed upon or incurred by any such Person, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from: (i) the breach or nonperformance of any agreement of CRR Parent, CRR, CRC or any of their respective Affiliates (other than NYC and PRR) contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; and (ii) any Retained Liability. (b) Subject to the provisions of this Article X, CSX and CSXT jointly and severally shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other parties and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them from and against any and all Damages asserted against, relating to, imposed upon or incurred by any such Person, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from: (i) the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of CSX, CSXT or their respective Affiliates contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; and (ii) the breach or non-performance of any agreement of CSX, CSXT or their respective Affiliates contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 10.2. Indemnification Procedures. (a) If any Action shall be threatened or instituted or any claim or demand shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under the provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any such claim, demand or Action of which it has knowledge to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall contain a reference to the provisions hereof or of such other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto, in respect of which such claim is being made. The Indemnified Party's failure to give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from obtaining indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this Article X unless the Indemnified Party's failure has materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend the claim, demand or Action. (b) If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification from the Indemnifying Party as a result of a claim or demand being made by a third party (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to promptly assume the control of the defense of any Action with respect to such Third Party Claim, including, at its own expense, employment by it of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, employ counsel to represent it in the defense of the Third Party Claim, and in such event counsel for the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with counsel for the Indemnified Party in such defense, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall direct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment, except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, and shall not enter into any settlement of such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. Section 10.3. Remedies. (a) Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by it in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of such provisions and to specifically enforce such provisions, in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled, at law or in equity. (b) In no event shall any party be liable to the other parties for any consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive or other similar damages including but not limited to lost profits for any breach or default, or any act or omission arising out of or in any way relating to, this Agreement, the Assets, the Retained Liabilities, the Allocated Liabilities, the Ancillary Agreements, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any matter or theory concerning or relating to any of the foregoing, under any form or theory of action whatsoever whether in contract, tort or otherwise.

Section 11.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof; provided, however, that the laws of the respective jurisdictions of incorporation of each of the parties shall govern the relative rights, obligations, powers, duties and other internal affairs of such party and its board of directors.

(c) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted assignees. Section 11.10. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, such provision is to be intended to be ineffective only to the most limited extent possible in such context and the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Section 11.11. Lack of Control; Effect on CRR and its Controlled Subsidiaries. (a) None of CSX, CSXT, NSC or NSR shall be liable for failing to take any action which they are required to take under this Agreement if the time when CSX, CSXT, NSC or NSR is required to take such action occurs prior to the Control Date and such action requires the assistance or cooperation of CRR or its Board of Directors, which assistance is requested but not provided; provided, however, that CSX and NSC shall use their best efforts to obtain such assistance or cooperation and, after the Control Date, will be required to take such action if, as and when required by this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (which term for purposes of this Section 11.11(b) shall include the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the Ancillary Agreements and other documents and instruments referred to herein), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.2, neither CRR nor any of its controlled Subsidiaries shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement (other than Section 8.17) or subject to any Liabilities or obligations hereunder (other than under Section 8.17) at any time prior to the Control Date.

EX-99 3 PRESS RELEASE ISSUED 6/23/97 Exhibit 99 CONTACTS: Thomas E. Hoppin Robert Fort CSX Corporation Norfolk Southern Corporation 804-782-1450 757-629-2710 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CSX AND NORFOLK SOUTHERN FILE APPLICATION FOR HISTORIC RESTRUCTURING OF EASTERN RAIL SYSTEM Carriers Seek STB Approval for Division of Conrail System WASHINGTON - June 23, 1997 - CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) and Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) today asked the Surface Transportation Board to approve their acquisition of Conrail Inc. The proposed transaction would reshape the eastern rail system and restore competition to the largest market in the Northeast for the first time in more than two decades. The two carriers filed an eight-volume application detailing nearly $1 billion in public benefits from the transaction, which will usher in a new era of rail service and rail-truck competition. The 15,000-page application lists dozens of service and infrastructure improvements that will deliver more reliable and efficient service to thousands of customers. In presenting the case for the most far-reaching railroad restructuring in history, the companies said they will spend a combined $1.2 billion for capital improvements. The money will be spent over three years for such things as track improvements, added capacity, new or expanded freight terminals, clearance projects, new automobile distribution centers. The two carriers announced April 8 that they had reached an agreement to acquire Conrail and operate its routes and assets in a $10 billion transaction, with Norfolk Southern getting 58 percent and CSX 42 percent. Today's filing starts the clock on the 350-day schedule the Surface Transportation Board (STB) has set to consider the application. In the application, the companies said their plan will create balanced competition in the East, extend their reach into large new markets and replace Conrail's monopoly with head-to-head rail competition. The companies said the transaction will stimulate economic growth in the Northeast by improving transportation options for industries throughout the region. The restructuring will result in two well-matched rail systems with both providing single-line service. CSX will operate more than 23,000 route miles in 23 states and Norfolk Southern more than 21,000 miles in 22 states. "For the first time since the 1960s, we will have two balanced Class I railroads competing throughout the eastern United States," John W. Snow, chairman, president and chief executive officer of CSX, said in a statement submitted to the Board. "This new era of competition will be between two vigorous companies that have a proud record of seeking maximum efficiency and good rates for customers." --MORE-- -2- David R. Goode, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Norfolk Southern, said, "The transaction is by far the most pro-competitive railroad restructuring in history. It will create two new Northeast/Southeast rail systems that will do their utmost to best each other in the marketplace every day. This will bring about a blossoming of rail competition the likes of which the Northeast has not experienced in decades." In support of their application, Norfolk Southern and CSX submitted to the STB more than 2,300 letters from shippers, public officials and other railroads, the strongest show of support ever for a railroad transaction. "The elimination of the Conrail monopoly alone is a substantial public benefit," the two railroads said in their application, noting that many customers will benefit from more efficient routings and extended single-line service that will eliminate delays and the costs of transferring shipments from one rail carrier to another. In addition, the projected diversion of traffic from congested highways to rail will deliver significant benefits to the public. The two carriers estimated that within three years the transaction annually will save 120 million gallons of diesel fuel, eliminate more than a million truck trips, reduce truck traffic on the nation's highways by more than 780 million miles, and save about $94 million in highway maintenance costs. Detailing the planned capital investments, CSX estimated it will spend more than $488 million for projects that include $83 million for Conrail route improvements, $151 million in corridor upgrades, nearly $76 million for expansion or improvement of intermodal and automobile facilities, more than $77 million for merchandise terminals, and the remainder in mechanical facilities and other projects. Norfolk Southern said it will spend about $729 million on major capital improvements and equipment purchases. The projects include about $220 million for expansion or improvements in intermodal facilities, $130 million for corridor upgrades, about $70 million to improve existing Conrail routes, $30 million for new automobile facilities, about $100 million to improve mechanical facilities, $26 million for track connections and $98 million for new equipment. Other highlights of the joint application: A huge increase in single-line service, providing shippers with shorter transit times and more reliable service. For shipments of automobiles, chemicals, agricultural commodities and other merchandise, a projected 233,000 additional shipments will move on a single carrier with no intermediate transfer. A 15,000-shipment increase in single-line service for coal. The return of competitive rail service to the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, the largest consumer market in the country, for the first time in more than two decades. --MORE-- --3-- The transaction will affect employment through the creation, transfer and elimination of certain positions over three years. CSX and Norfolk Southern project that over that period they jointly will eliminate about 3 percent of the nearly 73,000 positions at the three railroads. CSX and Norfolk Southern said they expect the restructuring in the long run will boost rail transportation and create new jobs in the industry.
