In consideration of the payment of the Discounted Rental, Licensee shall not be obligated to pay rental payments under the Agreement with respect to the period from the "Effective Date" until the "Paid up Period" (both defined on Exhibit "C"); provided, that Licensee is not relieved from the obligation, if any, under the Agreement to pay Union Pacific for services provided by Union Pacific, to reimburse Union Pacific for amounts paid by Union Pacific, pay Union Pacific any administrative charges for modifications to the license or pipeline, or to pay any rentals that are or will become due for any periods before or after, but not during, the Paid -Up Period.
