values of the Property. In addition, Grantor shall undertake all necessary actions to perfect the
rights of Grantee and CDFG under Section 2 of this Conservation Easement.
5. Reserved Rights. Grantor reserves to itself, and to its personal representatives,
heirs, successors, and assigns, all rights accruing from its ownership of the Property, including
the right to engage in or to permit or invite others to engage in all uses of the Property that are
not expressly prohibited or limited by, and are consistent with the purposes of, the NCCP and
this Conservation Easement.
6. Grantee's Remedies. CDFG, as a third party beneficiary of this Conservation
Easement, shall have the same rights as Grantee under this section to enforce the terms of this
Conservation Easement. If Grantee determines' that a violation of the terms of this Conservation
Easement has occurred or is threatened, Grantee shall give 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 CDFG. 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 the terms
of this Conservation Easement, to recover any damages to which Grantee may be entitled for
violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement or for any injury to the conservation values
of the Property, to enjoin the violation, ex parte 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 therefor, 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 6 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
860254.1
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 the NCCP and this Conservation Easement then,
notwithstanding Civil Code Section 815.7, the California Attorney General or any entity or
individual with a justiciable interest in the preservation of this Conservation Easement has
standing as interested parties in any proceeding affecting this Conservation Easement.
6.1. Costs of Enforcement. Any costs incurred by Grantee or CDFG, where it
is the prevailing party, in enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement against Grantor,
including, but not limited to, costs of suit and attorneys' and experts' fees, and any costs of
restoration necessitated by Grantor's negligence or breach of this Conservation Easement shall
be borne by Grantor.
6.2. Discretion of Grantee and CDFG. Enforcement of the terms of this
Conservation Easement by Grantee or CDFG shall be at the discretion of the enforcing party, and
any forbearance by Grantee or CDFG to exercise its rights under this Conservation Easement in
the event of any breach of any term of this Conservation Easement shall not be deemed or
construed to be a waiver by Grantee or CDFG 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 CDFG as a third party beneficiary) under this Conservation Easement. No delay or omission
by Grantee or CDFG in the exercise of any right or remedy shall impair such right or remedy or
be construed as a waiver.
6.3. Acts Beyond Grantor's Control. Nothing contained in this Conservation
Easement shall be construed to entitle Grantee or CDFG 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 persons or the Property resulting from such causes; or (ii) acts by
Grantee or its employees or CDFG or its employees.
6.4. Department of Fish and Game Right of Enforcement. All rights and
remedies conveyed to Grantee under this Conservation Easement shall extend to and are
enforceable by CDFG. These rights are in addition to, and do not limit, the rights of enforcement
under the NCCP.

responsibilities and shall bear all costs and liabilities of any kind related to the ownership,

p g
hazardous conditions thereon, or the protection of Grantor, the public or any third parties from
risks relating to conditions on the Property. Grantor remains solely responsible for obtaining any
applicable governmental permits and approvals for any activity or use permitted by this
Conservation Easement, 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.
9.1. 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 and CDFG with satisfactory
evidence of payment upon request. Grantor and Grantee each shall keep the Property free from
any liens, including those arising out of each of their respective obligations for any labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished at or for use on the Property.

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 ") and CDFG and its
directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives, and the heirs, personal

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 or willful misconduct of Grantee or any of its
employees and (b) this indemnification shall be inapplicable to CDFG's Indemnified Parties with
respect to any Claim due solely to the negligence or willful misconduct of CDFG or any of its
employees; (2) the obligations specified in Sections 4, 9, and 9.1,. If any action or proceeding is
brought against any of the CDFG Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Claim, Grantor
shall, at the election of and upon written notice from CDFG, defend such action or proceeding by
counsel reasonably acceptable to the CDFG Indemnified Party or reimburse CDFG for all
860254.1 6
charges incurred for services of the California Attorney General in defending the action or

law principles of such state.
(b) Liberal Construction. Despite any general rule of construction to the
contrary, this Conservation Easement shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes of this
Conservation Easement and the policy and purpose of Civil Code Section 815, et seq. If any
provision in this instrument is found to be ambiguous, an interpretation consistent with the
purposes of this Conservation Easement that would render the provision valid shall be favored
over any interpretation that would render it invalid.
(c) Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction voids or invalidates on
its face any provision of this Conservation Easement, such action shall not affect the remainder
of this Conservation Easement. If a court of competent jurisdiction voids or invalidates the
application of any provision of this Conservation Easement to a person or circumstance, such
action shall not affect the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances.
(d) Entire Agreement. This instrument sets forth the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the Conservation Easement and supersedes all prior discussions,
negotiations, understandings, or agreements relating to the Conservation Easement. No
alteration or variation of this instrument shall be valid or binding unless contained in an
amendment in accordance with Section 13.
860254.1 8
(e) No Forfeiture. Nothing contained herein will result in a forfeiture or
reversion of Grantor's title in any respect.
(f) Successors. The covenants, terms, conditions, and restrictions of this
Conservation Easement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and
their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns and shall constitute a
servitude running in perpetuity with the Property.
(g) Termination of Rights and Obligations. A party's rights and obligations
under this Conservation Easement terminate upon transfer of the party's interest in the
Conservation Easement or Property, except that liability for acts or omissions occurring prior to
transfer shall survive transfer.
(h) Captions. The captions in this instrument have been inserted solely for
convenience of reference and are not a part of this instrument and shall have no effect upon its
construction or interpretation.
(i) No Hazardous Materials Liability. Grantor represents and warrants that it
has no knowledge or notice of any Hazardous Materials (defined below) or underground storage
tanks existing, generated, treated, stored, used, released, disposed of, deposited or abandoned in,
on, under, or from the Property, or transported to or from or affecting the Property. Without
limiting the obligations of Grantor under Section 9.2, Grantor hereby releases and agrees to
indemnify, protect and hold harmless the Grantee Indemnified Parties and the CDFG
Indemnified Parties (each as defined in Section 9.2) from and against any and all Claims (as
defined in Section 9.2) arising from or connected with any Hazardous Materials or underground
storage tanks 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 CDFG Indemnified Parties
with respect to any Hazardous Materials placed, disposed or released by CDFG, its employees or
agents. This release and indemnification includes, without limitation, Claims for (i) injury to or
death of any person or physical damage to any property; and (ii) the violation or alleged violation
of, or other failure to comply with, any Environmental Laws (defined below). If any action or
proceeding is brought against any of the CDFG Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Claim,
Grantor shall, at the election of and upon written notice from CDFG, defend such action or
proceeding by counsel reasonably acceptable to the CDFG Indemnified Party or reimburse
CDFG for all charges incurred for services of the California Attorney General in defending the
action or proceeding.
Despite any contrary provision of this Conservation Easement, the parties do not intend
this Conservation Easement to be, and this Conservation Easement shall not be, construed such
that it creates in or gives to CDFG any of the following:
(1) The obligations or liability of an "owner" or "operator," as those
terms are defined and used in Environmental Laws (defined below), including, without
limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of

remove, remediate or otherwise clean up any Hazardous Materials associated with the Property.
The term "Hazardous Materials" includes, without limitation, (a) material that is
flammable, explosive or radioactive; (b) petroleum products, including by- products and fractions

CDFG that activities upon and use of the Property by Grantor, its agents, employees, invitees and
contractors will comply with all Environmental Laws.
0) Warranty. Grantor represents and warrants that there are no outstanding
mortgages, liens, encumbrances or other interests in the Property (including, without limitation,
mineral interests) which have not been expressly subordinated to this Conservation Easement,

relating to the Property, without first obtaining the written consent of Grantee and CDFG.

transfer is inconsistent with the purposes of this Conservation Easement or will impair or
interfere with the conservation values of the Property. This Section 14(k) shall not prohibit
transfer of a fee or leasehold interest in the Property that is subject to this Conservation Easement
and complies with Section 11.
