existing driveway aprons upon completion of City's project construction. Grantor acknowledges
that a portion of the Temporary Construction Easement described in the Deed will be utilized for
temporary public street use while the new permanent Santa Lucia Bridge is under construction
by City, and that while such temporary public traffic way is in use, Grantor will not be able to
utilize his existing easterly driveway. Upon completion of construction, City will generally
restore any impacted fencing on Grantor's property to a comparable or better condition than that
which existed prior to City's project construction, to the extent reasonably practical. Restoration
will include replacement of any removed portion of the existing two rail fencing along the
roadway and revegetation along creek bank, at no expense to Grantor. Restoration will also
include restoration of any impacted portions of Grantor's pre-existing circular driveway to a
comparable or better condition as that which existed prior to City's entry and use of the
Temporary Construction Easement on Grantor's property.
F. INDEMNIFICATION - Indemnify and hold harmless Grantor from any and all
claims, damages, costs, judgments, or liability proximately caused by City or its officers,
employees, or agents specifically arising from City construction and restoration work on the
Property within the term of the Temporary Construction Easement described in the Deed.
3. The Grantor:
A. PAYMENT ON MORTGAGE OR DEED OF TRUST - Agrees that any or all monies
payable under this Agreement up to and including the total amount of the unpaid principal and
interest on the note(s) secured by mortgage(s) or deed(s) of trust, if any, and all other amounts
due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of said mortgage(s) or deed(s) of
trust, shall upon demand(s) be made payable to the mortgagee(s) or beneficiary(s) entitled
thereunder. Grantor shall cooperate with the Escrow Officer in obtaining lien clearance
documents from any and all creditors holding liens against the Property.
B. LEASE INDEMNIFICATION - Warrants there are no oral or written leases on all or
any portion of the Property, or if there are such leases, Grantor agrees to hold the City harmless
and reimburse City for any and all of its losses and expenses occasioned by reason of any lease
of said Property held by tenant of Grantor.
C. PERMISSION TO ENTER - Hereby grants to the City, its agents and contractors,
permission to enter the Property prior to the close of escrow for the purposes of preparation for
the construction of the City's facilities, subject to all applicable terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement and the associated Deed.
D. TITLE INDEMNITY AND WARRANTY - In consideration of the City waiving the
requirements to clear any defects and imperfections in all matters of record title, the Grantor
indemnifies and holds the City harmless from any and all claims that other parties may make or
assert on the title to the Property. Grantor's obligation to indemnify the City shall not exceed the
amount paid to the Grantor under this Agreement. Grantor hereby represents and warrants that
he/she/they are the sole vested owners of the Property, holding all ownership and possessory
rights, and are the authorized signatories to grant the rights referenced in this Agreement without
conflict or claims from other parties.

E. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES - Represents and warrants, to the best of Grantor's
knowledge, and after reasonable inquiry, the following:
During Grantor's ownership of the Property, Grantor knows of no disposal, releases, or
threatened releases of hazardous substances on, from, or under the Property or Grantor's
remaining adjacent property. Grantor further represents and warrants that Grantor has no
knowledge of disposal, release, or threatened release of hazardous substances on, from, or under
the Property, or Grantor's remaining adjacent property, which may have occurred prior to
Grantor's ownership.
There is no pending claim, lawsuit, agency proceeding, or any administrative challenge
concerning the presence or use of hazardous substances on or within the Property or Grantor's
remaining adjacent property.
Grantor has not used the Property, or Grantor's remaining adjacent property, for any
industrial operations that use hazardous substances. Grantor is not aware of any prior use of such
property. Grantor has not installed any underground storage tanks, above ground storage tanks,
barrels, sumps, impoundments or other containers used to contain hazardous substances on any
part of the Property or Grantor's remaining adjacent property. Grantors are not aware of any
such prior installations. The purchase price of the Property being acquired reflects the fair
market value of the Property without the presence of contamination. If the Property is found to
be contaminated by the presence of hazardous substances which require mitigation under Federal
or State law, City may elect to recover its cleanup costs from those who caused or contributed to
the contamination.
4. The Parties agree:

Grantor, and the escrow agent to whom these instructions are delivered is hereby empowered to
act under this Agreement. The parties hereto agree to do all acts necessary to close this escrow
in the shortest possible time.

executed Deed by Grantor, with Certificate of Acceptance attached, with the escrow agent on
Grantor's behalf. City agrees to deposit the purchase price upon demand of escrow agent. City
and Grantor agree to deposit with escrow agent all additional instruments as may be necessary to
complete this transaction. All funds received in this escrow shall be deposited with other escrow
funds in a general escrow fund account(s) and may be transferred to any other such escrow trust
account in any State or National Bank doing business in the State of California. All
disbursements shall be made by check or wire transfer from such account.
Any taxes which have been paid by Grantor, prior to opening of this escrow, shall not be
pro -rated between City and Grantor, but Grantor shall have the sole right after close of escrow, to
apply to the County Tax Collector of said County for any refund of such taxes which may be due
Grantor for the period after City's acquisition.
