Access. This Conservation Easement does not convey a general right of access to the public. 7. Grantee's and Third Party Beneficiary Remedies. USFWS, CDFG and ACOE, as third party beneficiary(jej) of this Conservation Easement, shall have the same rights as Grantee under this section to enforce the terms of this Conservation Easement. These rights are in addition to, and do not limit, the rights of enforcement under the Site Development Plan (SDP 03-01). If Grantee determines that Grantor is in violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement or that a violation is threatened, Grantee may pursue all available remedies after giving written notice to Grantor of such violation and demand in writing the cure of such violation. At the time of giving any such notice, Grantee shall give a copy of the notice to USFWS, CDFG and ACOE. If Grantor fails to cure the violation within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice and demand from Grantee, or if the cure reasonably requires more than fifteen (15) days to complete and Grantor fails to begin the cure within the fifteen (15)-day period or fails to continue diligently to complete the cure, Grantee may bring an action at law or in equity in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce compliance by Grantor with the terms of this Conservation Easement, to recover any damages to which Grantee may be entitled for violation by Grantor of the terms of this Conservation Easement or for any injury to the conservation values of the Property, to enjoin the violation, exparte as necessary, by temporary or permanent injunction without the necessity of proving either actual damages or the inadequacy of otherwise available legal remedies, or for other equitable relief, including, but not limited to, the restoration of the Property to the condition in which it existed prior to any such violation or injury. Without limiting Grantor's liability therefore, Grantee may apply any damages recovered to the cost of undertaking any corrective action on the Property. If Grantee, in its sole discretion, determines that circumstances require immediate action to prevent or mitigate damage to the conservation values of the Property, Grantee may pursue its remedies under this Section 7 without prior notice to Grantor or without waiting for the period provided for cure to expire. Grantee's rights under this section apply equally to actual or threatened violations of the terms of this Conservation Easement. Grantor agrees that Grantee's remedies at law for any violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement are inadequate and that Grantee shall be entitled to the injunctive relief described in this section, both prohibitive and mandatory, in addition to such other relief to which Grantee may be entitled, including specific performance of the terms of this Conservation Easement, without the necessity of proving either actual damages or the inadequacy of otherwise available legal remedies. Grantee's remedies described in this section shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, including but not limited to, the remedies set forth in Civil Code Section 815, et seq., inclusive. The failure of Grantee to discover a violation or to take immediate legal action shall not bar Grantee from taking such action at a later time. If at any time in the future Grantor or any subsequent transferee uses or threatens to use the Property for purposes inconsistent with this Conservation Easement then, 06/07/2006 \\ 10023 notwithstanding Civil Code Section 815.7, the California Attorney General or any entity or individual with a justifiable interest in the preservation of this Conservation Easement has standing as interested parties in any proceeding affecting this Conservation Easement. 7.1 Costs of Enforcement. Any costs incurred by Grantee or USFWS, CDFG or ACOE, where it is the prevailing party, in enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement against Grantor, except attorneys fees, but including and not limited to costs of suit, experts' fees, and any costs of restoration necessitated by Grantor's negligence or breach of this Conservation Easement shall, be borne by Grantor. 7.2 Discretion of Grantee and USFWS, CDFG and ACOE. Enforcement of the terms of this Conservation Easement by Grantee, USFWS, CDFG or ACOE shall be at its discretion, and any forbearance by any of them to exercise its rights under this Conservation Easement in the event of any breach of any term of this Conservation Easement by Grantor shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver by Grantee, USFWS, CDFG or ACOE of such term or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term of this Conservation Easement or of any of Grantee's rights (or any rights of USFWS, CDFG or the ACOE as a third party beneficiary(ies)) under this Conservation Easement. No delay or omission by Grantee, USFWS, CDFG or ACOE in the exercise of any right or remedy upon any breach by Grantor shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. 7.3 Acts Beyond Grantor's Control. Nothing contained in this Conservation Easement shall be construed to entitle Grantee, USFWS, CDFG or ACOE to bring any action against Grantor for any injury to or change in the Property resulting from (i) any natural cause beyond Grantor's control, including, without limitation, fire not caused by Grantor, flood, storm, and earth movement, or any prudent action taken by Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to the Property resulting from such causes; or (ii) acts by Grantee or its employees or USFWS., CDFG or ACOE or their employees. 8. Costs and Liabilities. Grantor retains all responsibilities and shall bear all costs and liabilities of any kind related to the ownership, operation, upkeep, and maintenance of the Property.

Grantor remains solely responsible for obtaining any applicable governmental permits and approvals for any activity or use permitted by this Conservation Easement Deed, and any activity or use shall be undertaken in accordance with all applicable federal, state, local and administrative agency statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and requirements. 8.1 Taxes; No Liens. Grantor shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, fees, and charges of whatever description levied on or assessed against the Property by competent authority (collectively "taxes"), including any taxes imposed upon, or incurred as a result of, this Conservation Easement, and shall furnish Grantee, USFWS, CDFG and ACOE with satisfactory evidence of payment upon request. Grantor shall keep Grantee's interest in the Property free from any liens, including those arising out of any obligations incurred by Grantor 10024 or any labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Grantor at or for use on the Property. 8.2 Hold Harmless. Grantor shall hold harmless, protect and indemnify Grantee and its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each of them (each a "Grantee Indemnified Party" and, collectively, "Grantee's Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all liabilities, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and experts' fees), causes of action, claims, demands, orders, liens or judgments (each a "Claim" and, collectively, "Claims"), arising from or in any way connected with: (1) injury to or the death of any person, or physical damage to any property, resulting from any act, omission, condition, or other matter related to or occurring on or about the Property, regardless of cause, except that (a) this indemnification shall be inapplicable to Grantee's Indemnified Parties with respect to any Claim due solely to the negligence of Grantee or any of its employees; and (b) the Grantor's obligations specified in Sections 5. 8, and 8.1; and (3) the existence or administration of this Conservation Easement. If any action or proceeding is brought against any of Grantee's Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Claim, Grantor shall, at the election of and upon written notice from any of the Grantee Indemnified Parties defend such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Grantee Indemnified Party, or reimburse the party for all charges incurred for services, including attorneys' fees, in defending the action or proceeding. 8.3 No Hazardous Materials Liability. Grantor represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of any unremediated release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials (defined below) in, on, under, about or affecting the Property. Without limiting the obligations of Grantor under Section 9.2, Grantor agrees to indemnify, protect and hold harmless the Grantee Indemnified Parties and the USFWS, CDFG, and ACOE Indemnified Parties (defined in Section 9.2) against any and all Claims (defined in Section 9.2) arising from or connected with any Hazardous Materials present, alleged to be present, or otherwise associated with the Property at any time, except that (I) this indemnification shall be inapplicable to the Grantee Indemnified Parties with respect to any Hazardous Materials placed, disposed or released by Grantee, its employees or agents and (II) this indemnification shall be inapplicable to the USFWS, CDFG, and ACOE Indemnified Parties with respect to ainy Hazardous Materials placed, disposed or released by USFWS, CDFG, and ACOE, its employees or agents. If any action or proceeding is brought against any of the USFWS, CDFG, and ACOE Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Claim, Grantor shall, at the election of and upon written notice from USFWS, CDFG, and ACOE defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably acceptable to the USFWS, CDFG, and ACOE Indemnified Party or reimburse USFWS, CDFG, and ACOE for all charges incurred for services of the California Attorney General in defending the action or proceeding.
