INDUSTRIAL SWITCHING is switching, other than reciprocal switching, performed at an industry for the purpose of placing of car(s) for loading or unloading or for the removal of car(s) that were previously placed for loading of unloading. This service will be performed without additional charge when AA has or will have a line haul movement in subject car(s) immediately preceding or succeeding the move into or out of the point at which the service is performed. Services required, in addition to the foregoing, will be subject to applicable Switching Rules and Charges herein. INTERCHANGE TRACKS are tracks on which cars are exchanged between AA and connecting Railroads. INTER-TERMINAL SWITCHING is a switching movement from a track of one road to a track of another road when both tracks are within the switching limits of the same station or industrial switching district. INTRA-TERMINAL SWITCHING is a switching movement (other than intra-plant switching) of traffic from one track to another of the AA having origin and destination within the switching limits of one station or industrial switching district. INTER-PLANT SWITCHING is a switching movement (other than intra-plant switching) between plants or units of a single industry from one track to another of the same railroad within the switching limits of one station or industrial switching district. INTRA-PLANT SWITCHING is a switching movement from one track to another or between two locations on the same track within the confines of the same (single) plant or industry.

ITEM 35 (Cont d) DEFINITIONS PRIVATE SIDING OR INDUSTRIAL TRACK is a track serving a particular industry, which industry or its predecessor constructed the track or contributed money, material and (or) labor toward its construction. RECIPROCAL SWITCHING is an arrangement between carriers serving the same station or switching district where the carrier physically serving the industry performs switching service for loading or unloading on behalf of the other carrier on shipments having an immediately preceding or following line-haul movement via the other carrier. ROAD OR LINE-HAUL is a revenue movement between stations that are not located within the switching limits of the same station. TEAM TRACK is a track constructed by this Company for use of the general public. ITEM 45 DEFINITION OF SWITCHING LIMITS Where the switching limits of a station is not specifically defined in this tariff, the switching limits of such station will include tracks located within the corporate limits of the city, town or village. ITEM 50 WHEN NO SWITCHING CHARGE IS NAMED Except as otherwise provided under Items 55 and 60, where no switching charge is provided in this Tariff, switching service will not be performed. ITEM 55 NEW INDUSTRIES Until such time as this Tariff may be lawfully corrected on new industries that have taken over or have subsequently located adjacent to industries to and from which rates are specifically provided for herein, the rate to or from such new industry will be the same as to or from industrial facilities similarly located, published and specifically provided for in this tariff. ITEM 60 SWITCHING FOR OTHER THAN SIDING OWNER Except as provided under Item 55, switching rates published in tariff between industries having private side tracks on the AA, and junction of connecting lines apply only on cars containing freight belonging to the rightful owner or lessee of the switch; or for other parties using the facilities named for traffic connected with the business of party owning or in control of such siding. Except as noted in this rule, on cars consigned to or loaded by parties other than the actual owners or lessees of industrial siding, the charge will be the same as published in tariff, as amended, to or from Public Team Tracks. For other than the owner or lessee to use an industrial siding, permission of owner or lessee must be secured as well as that of the Ann Arbor Railroad's Operations Office in Toledo, OH at (419) 726-4181.

ITEM 80 PREPAYMENT OF SWITCHING CHARGES Carload freight for delivery on a terminal carrier within a switching district will not be delivered to connecting carrier by this Company until all charges assessed are paid or satisfactorily arranged for. Notice that car is or will be held for charges, together with statement of such charges, will be sent by this Company to consignee; also to the agent of the terminal carrier at destination. EXCEPTION - Where switching service is performed on traffic moving under line haul rates which are subject to special detention charges and rules, the switching charges provided in this tariff will be subject to the same detention charges and rules as applicable in connection with the line haul rates and provisions of Freight Tariff RIC 6004-series (Car Demurrage Rules and Charges), will not apply. - 4 -
