  On October 24, 2007, the Compensation Committee of Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (the "Company") adopted new standard forms of Continuity Agreements for use with selected executive officers of the Company. Two forms of Continuity Agreements were adopted. One of these forms applies to the offices of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer (the "Senior Executive Continuity Agreement"). The other form applies to other selected executive officers of the Company (the "Executive Continuity Agreement"). (These two forms of agreement are referred to collectively as the "Continuity Agreements.") <br><br>Each Continuity Agreement provides for an initial term of two years and automatic renewal on an annual basis effective at the anniversary date of the Continuity Agreement, unless the Company provides written notice of termination of the agreement to an executive at least 180 days prior to the renewal date. In the event of a "change in control" (as defined in the Continuity Agreement) prior to the termination of the Continuity Agreement, the term of the Continuity Agreement will be extended to the second anniversary of the effective date of such change in control.  <br><br>Under the Continuity Agreements, the executive would generally be entitled to severance benefits in the event that the Company terminates the executive&#x2019;s employment for any reason other than the executive&#x2019;s disability, retirement, death or for cause, or in the event that the executive terminates his or her employment for good reason (as "cause" and "good reason" are defined in the Continuity Agreements), in either case on or within 2 years following a change in control of the Company.  In addition, the executive would be entitled to the severance payments described below in the event 1) an agreement is signed that, if consummated, would result in a change in control, 2) the executive is terminated for any reason other than the executive&#x2019;s disability, retirement, death or for cause, or the executive terminates his or her employment for good reason prior to the change in control, and 3) such termination is at the direction of the acquirer or merger partner or is otherwise in connection with the anticipated change in control.<br><br>Severance benefits pursuant to the Continuity Agreements equal a lump sum cash payment calculated as the sum of 1) the product of three times the sum of the executive&#x2019;s annual base salary at the time of the change of control and his or her target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs and 2) any accrued but unpaid annual base salary, bonus previously earned for completed fiscal years and a pro rata portion of the executive&#x2019;s actual bonus earned in respect of the current fiscal year, calculated based on the most recently completed calendar month, each through the date of termination.  The executive will also be entitled to immediate 100% vesting of all outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock units and restricted stock of the Company, to the extent not previously vested, on or following the change in control.<br><br>Pursuant to the Senior Executive Continuity Agreements, the Company has agreed to pay the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the chief operating officer additional tax gross-up payments to the extent they are required to make those executives "whole" for any excise taxes due under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any similar tax, provided that if the total amount of "parachute payments" to an executive under Section 280G of the Code would not exceed 110% of the greatest amount that could be paid to the executive without incurring the excise tax, then in lieu of a tax gross-up payment, the Company will instead cap the amount of payments to that executive at the maximum amount that can be paid without having the executive incur the excise tax.   In the case of the Executive Continuity Agreements for the Company&#x2019;s executives other than the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the chief operating officer, the Executive Continuity Agreements do not provide for an excise tax gross-up payment and instead provide that payments to an executive will be capped at the maximum amount that can be paid without having the executive incur an excise tax under Section 280G of the Code, unless the executive would stand to receive a greater aggregate net after tax amount without the imposition of such a cap, in which case payments will not be capped and the affected executive would pay his or her own excise tax amounts.  <br><br>The Continuity Agreements also provide for the executives to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information of the Company and state that during the term of employment and for twelve months thereafter, the executive may not, without the written consent of the Company, solicit employees, key consultants, customer or clients of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates.<br><br>

  Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
  On October 24, 2007, the Compensation Committee of Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (the "Company") adopted new standard forms of Continuity Agreements for use with selected executive officers of the Company. Two forms of Continuity Agreements were adopted. One of these forms applies to the offices of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer (the "Senior Executive Continuity Agreement"). The other form applies to other selected executive officers of the Company (the "Executive Continuity Agreement"). (These two forms of agreement are referred to collectively as the "Continuity Agreements.")
  Each Continuity Agreement provides for an initial term of two years and automatic renewal on an annual basis effective at the anniversary date of the Continuity Agreement, unless the Company provides written notice of termination of the agreement to an executive at least 180 days prior to the renewal date. In the event of a "change in control" (as defined in the Continuity Agreement) prior to the termination of the Continuity Agreement, the term of the Continuity Agreement will be extended to the second anniversary of the effective date of such change in control.
  Under the Continuity Agreements, the executive would generally be entitled to severance benefits in the event that the Company terminates the executive's employment for any reason other than the executive's disability, retirement, death or for cause, or in the event that the executive terminates his or her employment for good reason (as "cause" and "good reason" are defined in the Continuity Agreements), in either case on or within 2 years following a change in control of the Company.  In addition, the executive would be entitled to the severance payments described below in the event 1) an agreement is signed that, if consummated, would result in a change in control, 2) the executive is terminated for any reason other than the executive's disability, retirement, death or for cause, or the executive terminates his or her employment for good reason prior to the change in control, and 3) such termination is at the direction of the acquirer or merger partner or is otherwise in connection with the anticipated change in control.
  Severance benefits pursuant to the Continuity Agreements equal a lump sum cash payment calculated as the sum of 1) the product of three times the sum of the executive's annual base salary at the time of the change of control and his or her target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs and 2) any accrued but unpaid annual base salary, bonus previously earned for completed fiscal years and a pro rata portion of the executive's actual bonus earned in respect of the current fiscal year, calculated based on the most recently completed calendar month, each through the date of termination.  The executive will also be entitled to immediate 100% vesting of all outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock units and restricted stock of the Company, to the extent not previously vested, on or following the change in control.
  Pursuant to the Senior Executive Continuity Agreements, the Company has agreed to pay the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the chief operating officer additional tax gross-up payments to the extent they are required to make those executives "whole" for any excise taxes due under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any similar tax, provided that if the total amount of "parachute payments" to an executive under Section 280G of the Code would not exceed 110% of the greatest amount that could be paid to the executive without incurring the excise tax, then in lieu of a tax gross-up payment, the Company will instead cap the amount of payments to that executive at the maximum amount that can be paid without having the executive incur the excise tax.   In the case of the Executive Continuity Agreements for the Company's executives other than the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the chief operating officer, the Executive Continuity Agreements do not provide for an excise tax gross-up payment and instead provide that payments to an executive will be capped at the maximum amount that can be paid without having the executive incur an excise tax under Section 280G of the Code, unless the executive would stand to receive a greater aggregate net after tax amount without the imposition of such a cap, in which case payments will not be capped and the affected executive would pay his or her own excise tax amounts.
  The Continuity Agreements also provide for the executives to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information of the Company and state that during the term of employment and for twelve months thereafter, the executive may not, without the written consent of the Company, solicit employees, key consultants, customer or clients of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates.
