1. The City of Carmel, Indiana (the "City ") is a municipality duly organized and existing
pursuant to the laws of the State of Indiana.
2. CSX Transportation, Inc. ( "CSX) is corporation duly organized and existing pursuant to the
laws of the State of Virginia.
3. CSX used to operate a railroad on a route commonly known as the Monon Railway in
Hamilton County. Indiana. CSX, however. abandoned the Monon Railway in approximately 1986.
4. Since approximately 1993, the ownership of the Monon Railway has been disputed and.
therefore, has been the subject of a lawsuit titled George W. Clark, Hamilton County Farm Bureau Cooperative
Association, Inc., I3ritton Farms, Inc. and all others similarly situated v. CSX Transportation, Inc., Cause
No. 29D03- 9308- CP-404 (the "Ownership Lawsuit ").
5. On October 6, 2003, the Court in the Ownership Lawsuit entered a Declaratory Judgment for
the County of Hamilton (the "Declaratory Judgment"). On October 13, 2003, the Court in the Ownership
Lawsuit entered an Order on Plaintiffs' Motion to Withdraw the Declaratory Judgment for the County of
Hamilton Entered on October 6, 2003 and Substitute with Corrected Declaratory Judgment (the "Amended
Declaratory Judgment "). The Declaratory Judgment and Amended Declaratory Judgment. among other things.
declared that CSX owns a portion of the Monon Railway in Hamilton County, Indiana.
6. Since approximately 1998, Carmel has been working to convert the Monon Railway from an
abandoned railroad corridor into a linear park (the "Monon Trail ") from 96th Street to 146th Street in Hamilton
County, Indiana. Between 96th Street to 146th Street in Hamilton County. Indiana, the Monon Railway runs
from north to south for a distance of approximately five (5) miles with a width of approximately sixty -six feet.
In places, however. the width varies.
7. In 1998 and 1999, Carmel filed several condemnation lawsuits against CSX in an effort to
acquire a property interest in the Monon Railway sufficient to construct a linear park (the "Condemnation
Lawsuits ").
8. CSX now has been determined to own portions of the Monon Railway pursuant to the
Declaratory Judgment.
9. As part of the settlement of the Condemnation Lawsuits and in light of the ownership rights
awarded to CSX in the Declaratory Judgment, CSX has agreed to convey to the City all of CSX's rights, title
and interest in and to the Monon Railway as set forth herein.
