other codes or other governmental requirements. DISTRICT is not responsible for design, assumptions or
accuracy of GRANTEE'S construction and/or maintenance plans. DIRECTOR will rely on the professional
expertise of the Engineer of Record when approving GRANTEE'S construction and/or maintenance plans.
1 Attachment 1

unobstructed flood control operation and maintenance of the Channel by DISTRICT. GRANTEE shall
maintain, at no cost to DISTRICT, all facilities constructed by GRANTEE pursuant to this easement in
good repair and in safe condition.
Should it be necessary for GRANTEE to disturb the surface of the Easement Area subsequent to the
completion of the initial installation of necessary facilities, GRANTEE agrees to notify DIRECTOR in
writing sixty (60) days in advance and to obtain DIRECTOR'S written approval of all plans prior to
commencement thereof and to obtain a permit for construction from DISTRICT after payment of normal

Easement Area for the purpose of exercising the rights herein granted; provided, however, that any
excavation shall be made in such a manner as will cause the least injury to the surface of the ground and
any improvements and/or landscaping around such excavation, and that the earth so removed shall be
replaced and the surface of the ground and any improvements and/or landscaping around such excavation,
damaged shall be promptly restored by GRANTEE at its expense to the same condition as existed prior to
excavation, to DIRECTOR'S satisfaction. All facilities owned or constructed by GRANTEE pursuant to
this Easement Deed shall be maintained by GRANTEE in good repair and in safe condition at no cost to
DISTRICT.

DISTRICT hereby reserves for itself and its successors and assigns, such surface, subsurface and aerial
rights in the Easement Area as will not interfere with or prohibit the use by GRANTEE of the rights and
easement herein granted.

use of said facilities ceases for a continuous period of more than one (1) year without written notice from
GRANTEE to DISTRICT of the circumstances affecting such suspension and of GRANTEE'S intention to
resume usage of the facilities, GRANTEE shall, at DIRECTOR'S request and at no cost to DISTRICT,
remove and/or abandon said facilities within ninety (90) days after receipt of written notice from
DIRECTOR to remove and/or abandon. Following such removal and/or abandonment, GRANTEE shall, at
no cost to DISTRICT, restore the Easement Area to the condition that existed prior to the granting of the
easement, to DIRECTOR'S satisfaction.
GRANTEE shall also execute and deliver to DIRECTOR for recordation in the Official Records of Orange

the Easement Area.

GRANTEE agrees that in the event GRANTEE'S facilities shall at any time interfere with the operation,
maintenance, replacement, or improvement of DISTRICT'S property as determined by DIRECTOR,
GRANTEE shall, within ninety (90) days of receipt of written notice from DIRECTOR, relocate at
GRANTEE'S expense GRANTEE'S facilities to a site designated by DIRECTOR. All other terms and
conditions of this Easement Deed shall remain the same.
5. REVISION OF LEGAL DESCRIPTION (PMES4.3 S)
In the event the attached Exhibit A is subsequently determined to inaccurately describe the location of said
facilities, the parties agree that an amended Exhibit A, to be approved in writing by both parties, will be
prepared by GRANTEE and recorded which will replace and supersede the attached Exhibit A. The
amendment of Exhibit A will not affect, alter, or change this Easement Deed. Furthermore, this Easement
Deed will be deemed to be amended and will relate back and be in place as of the initial date of this
Easement Deed prior to said amendment of Exhibit A.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS (PMES4.4 S)
GRANTEE shall ensure that all construction in the Easement Area is performed in accordance with any

ensure that pollutants are not discharged into the DISTRICT's flood control system.

growing out of or in any way connected with or related to this easement except claims arising from the
concurrent active or sole negligence of DISTRICT and/or COUNTY, their officers, agents, employees and
contractors. GRANTEE hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel approved in writing by
DISTRICT), and hold harmless, DISTRICT and COUNTY, their elected and appointed officials, officers,
agents, employees and contractors against any and all claims, losses, demands, damages, cost, expenses or
liability for injury to any persons or property, arising out of the operation or maintenance of the property
described herein, and/or GRANTEE'S exercise of the rights under this easement, except for liability arising
out of the concurrent active or sole negligence of DISTRICT, and/or COUNTY, their elected and appointed
officials, officers, agents, employees or contractors including the cost of defense of any lawsuit arising
therefrom. If DISTRICT or COUNTY is/are named as co-defendant(s) in a lawsuit, GRANTEE shall
notify DISTRICT of such fact and shall represent DISTRICT/COUNTY in such legal action unless
DISTRICT/COUNTY undertake(s) to represent itself/themselves as co-defendants) in such legal action, in
which event, GRANTEE shall pay to DISTRICT/COUNTY its/their litigation costs, expenses, and
attorneys' fees. If judgment is entered against DISTRICT/COUNTY and GRANTEE by a court of
competent jurisdiction because of the concurrent active negligence of DISTRICT/COUNTY and
GRANTEE, DISTRICT and GRANTEE agree that liability will be apportioned as determined by the court.
Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.
GRANTEE acknowledges that it is familiar with the language and provisions of California Civil Code
Section 1542 which provides as follows:

or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her, must have materially
affected his settlement with the debtor.

legally liable to DISTRICT for damage resulting therefrom, then GRANTEE shall indemnify, defend with
counsel approved in writing by DISTRICT, and hold harmless DISTRICT, COUNTY, and their elected or
appointed officials, officers, agents, and employees from any and all claims, judgments, damages,
penalties,, fines, costs, liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the
Easement Area, sums paid in settlement of claims, attorney fees, consultant fees, and expert witness fees)

soil or ground water under the Easement Area. GRANTEE shall promptly take all action, at its sole cost
and expense, as is necessary to clean, remove, and restore the Easement Area to its condition prior to the
introduction of such Hazardous Material by GRANTEE, provided GRANTEE shall first have obtained
DISTRICT'S written approval and the approval of any necessary governmental entities or agencies for any
such remedial action.
