agents (collectively, "Authority Parties") harmless from and against all liability, loss, damages to
property, injuries to, or death of any person or persons, including liability for response to
environmental regulatory claims, and any and all Claims resulting from, related to, or based upon,
whether directly or indirectly: (i) the breach by the Optionee of any representation, warranty,
covenant or obligation contained in the Agreement, or in any other agreement, document, exhibit
or instrument related hereto or referenced herein; (ii) any Claim or Claims, if the basis of such
Claim or Claims arose on or after the Closing, except as noted in subparagraph (iv) below, and if

Optionee may exercise this Option to purchase the Easement only after all of the
following conditions have been met:
A. Optionee has completed and certified an environmental impact
report ("EIR") for a commercial development project on the
15.08-acre parcel that is subject to the Easement. Optionee has
prepared the EIR as the lead agency under the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000,
et seq. County, a responsible agency under CEQA, has fulfilled its
duties as a responsible agency as set forth in CEQA Guidelines
section 15096 by, among other things, approving the sale of the
Easement after County considers the EIR for the commercial
development project;
B. Optionee has provided County with a copy of the final EIR, the
action certifying the EIR for the commercial development project
(CEQA Guidelines section 15090), the findings of significant
effects for the project (CEQA Guidelines section 15091), and the
Statement of Overriding Considerations, if any (CEQA Guidelines
section 15093);
C. Optionee has provided County with a letter confirming that the
City of National City changed the General Plan land use
designation on the Property to a commercial designation, that the
sale of the Easement is consistent with the City's open -space plan
and that the transfer of title to the Walkway Area is consistent with
National City's General Plan; and
D. Optionee has sent via certified mail a copy of the Notice of
Determination (consistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15094)
to the Director of General Services at the address listed in
paragraph 3B, and, at its next reasonably available meeting, as
determined by County, the Board of Supervisors has confirmed
that Optionee completed and certified an EIR for a commercial
2
2015 Option Agreement
Exhibit "E" Page 3 of 24
development project on the Property, which confirmation will not
be unreasonably withheld.
5. Purchase Price. During the Term of this Option Agreement, Optionee
herein shall have the exclusive right and option to purchase the Easement from County
for the price listed below, subject to the conditions precedent listed in paragraph 4.
The purchase price is $3 million. Optionee may, at its sole discretion, either pay
the $3 million in full upon conveyance of the Easement to Optionee or pay pursuant to
the terms set forth below:
A. $2 million to be paid upon conveyance of the Easement to
Optionee;
B. $1 million to be paid within four years after County conveys the
Easement to Optionee, $500,000 of which shall be paid within the
first two years. The remaining $500,000 plus all interest due shall
be paid within the second two years; and
C. The outstanding balance of the $1 million specified in

expansion, and/or improvements to the Sweetwater Regional Park, including
bicycle/recreational trails adjacent to the Park and within one mile of the Park that serve
the Park (collectively, "Sweetwater Improvements"), to provide recreational
opportunities consistent with open space and park uses. County agrees that use of the
monies for the Sweetwater Improvements is consistent with the County's intent in
accepting the Easement in 1978 for open space and park purposes. County agrees that
the Sweetwater Improvements would serve the purpose of lessening any incompatibility
between the Plaza Bonita Shopping Center and the Sweetwater Regional Park, and that
the Sweetwater Improvements to provide passive and/or active recreational uses would
serve the region in a manner similar to that originally intended by the conveyance of the
Easement on the 15.08-acre parcel.
7. Buffer for Walkway.
A. A trail/walkway is located on the south side of the Property.
Optionee shall install or cause to be installed a vegetated buffer
along the north side of the trail/walkway to screen it from the
parking lot for the proposed commercial development on the
Property. The buffer shall be fully installed/planted before the
3
2015 Option Agreement
Exhibit "E" Page 4 of 24
proposed commercial development is open to the public. The

shall consist of a combination of distance and low-level screening
to separate the walkway from the adjacent parking lot and
commercial development.
2. Vegetation shall be of sufficient height and density to
provide a visual barrier between the trail and the adjacent parking
lot and commercial development.
3. Vegetation in the buffer shall consist of a combination of

hereto as Exhibit C to allow the Parking Authority or its agents,
assigns, contractors or successors in interest to enter the Walkway
Area to install the vegetated buffer as required by this paragraph 7,
to install, monitor and maintain the retaining wall, and to monitor
and remove graffiti from the retaining wall.
C. If Optionee exercises this Option and Escrow closes as specified
subparagraph 9C (6), this paragraph 7 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.
D. A retaining wall may be constructed adjacent to the vegetated
buffer as part of the proposed commercial development. Any such
retaining wall will be located on the property proposed for
commercial development. The retaining wall and vegetated buffer
will be constructed so that plants in the buffer, such as vines, will
grow on the wall. If a retaining wall is constructed, the owner of
the property on which the wall is located will be responsible for
maintaining the wall and removing any graffiti. Optionee shall
ensure that the permit for the proposed commercial development
includes a condition that requires the developer to identify a
graffiti removal contractor who will be responsible for removing
any and all graffiti from the retaining wall within 24-hours of its
observance and/or notification by the City of National City Code

RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
This Right of Entry Agreement ("Agreement") is effective this of

RECITALS
A. County owns a strip of land just west of Bonita Center Road in National City,
California that includes a trail/walkway.
B. Parking Authority is obligated to install, or cause to be installed, a vegetated buffer
along the north side of the trail/walkway adjacent to a retaining wall that will be

trail/walkway.
C. To allow Parking Authority or its agents, assigns, contractors or successors in
interest, to enter onto County property to install the and monitor the buffer and to

NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Authority to Enter. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the County
hereby grants Parking Authority a right of entry over that property defined as a
portion of Assessor's Parcel Number 564-471-111 as further described in Exhibit "1"
attached hereto ("Walkway Area"), solely for the following purposes:

2015 Option Agreement
Exhibit "E" Page 18 of 24
c. To remove graffiti from the retaining wall.
2. Strict Construction. This Agreement shall be strictly construed, and no work other
than that specifically stated herein is authorized. This Agreement is not transferable.
3. Term. This Agreement shall commence , 20_, and shall
terminate on , 20_. The Assistant Director of the Department of
General Services may extend the Term of this Agreement at any time by giving
written notice to Parking Authority.
4. Notice Prior to Starting Work. Before starting to install the vegetated buffer, Parking
Authority shall notify the Assistant Director, Department of General Services or
designee in writing. Such notice shall be given at least three days in advance of the
date the work is to commence.
5. Permit on Site. This Agreement shall be kept at the work site and must be shown on
demand to any representative of the Department of General Services.
6. Permits From Other Agencies. Parking Authority shall secure all other permits and
approvals, if any, needed to install the vegetated buffer.
7. Access. Parking Authority shall not unreasonably obstruct the flow of pedestrians or
others using the Walkway Area or impede access to the Walkway Area.
8. Supervision of County. All work associated with this Agreement shall be done
subject to the supervision of, and to the satisfaction of, the County.
9. Compliance With Stormwater Laws. Parking Authority's entry on to the Walkway
Area is subject to federal, state and local laws regarding the discharge into the
stormwater conveyance system of pollutants. Compliance with these laws may
require Parking Authority to develop, install, implement and maintain pollution
prevention measures, source control measures and Best Management Practices
("BMPs"). BMPs can include operational practices; water or pollutant management
practices; physical site features; or devices to remove pollutants from stormwater, to
affect the flow of stormwater or to infiltrate stormwater to the ground. BMPs
applicable to Parking Authority's work on the Walkway Area may include a
requirement that all materials, wastes or equipment with the potential to pollute urban
runoff be stored in a manner that either prevents contact with rainfall and stormwater,
or contains contaminated runoff for treatment and disposal. Parking Authority shall
use, operate, maintain, develop, redevelop and retrofit the property, as necessary, in
accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws restricting the discharge
2
2015 Option Agreement
Exhibit "E" Page 19 of 24

guidance requiring pollution prevention measures, source control measures, or the
installation or use of BMPs. Parking Authority shall develop, install, implement
and/or maintain at Parking Authority's sole cost and expense, any BMPs or similar
pollution control devices required by federal, state and/or local law and any
implementing regulations or guidance.
Parking Authority understands and acknowledges that the stormwater and non-
stormwater requirements applicable to Parking Authority's work on the Walkway
Area may be changed from time to time by federal, state and/or local authorities, and
that additional requirements may become applicable based on changes in Parking
Authority's activities or development or redevelopment by Parking Authority or
County. Parking Authority shall develop, install, implement, and maintain such
additional BMPs and/or other pollution control practices at the Walkway Area at
Parking Authority's sole cost and expense. To the extent there is a conflict between
any federal, state or local law, Parking Authority shall comply with the more
restrictive provision. If County receives any fine or fines from any regulatory
agency as a result of Parking Authority's failure to comply with applicable
stormwater laws as set forth in this Agreement, Parking Authority shall reimburse
County for the entire fine amount.
10. Care of Drainage. If the proposed work interferes with the established drainage,
ample provision shall be made by Parking Authority to provide for the drainage as
may be directed by the County.
11. Repair. Parking Authority shall ensure that access through and work in the Walkway
Area is done in a safe and prudent manner. Parking Authority shall promptly repair
and make good any damage Parking Authority causes to any portion of the Walkway
Area.
12. Insurance. Parking Authority is fully self -insured for damage resulting from liability
of Parking Authority or any of Parking Authority's agents or employees. If Parking
Authority ceases to be self -insured during the Term of this Agreement, Parking
Authority shall furnish to County proof of insurance in a form and amounts
satisfactory to County. The County's requirements shall be reasonable, but shall be
designed to insure protection from risks that exist when Parking Authority ceases to
be self -insured. If Parking Authority enters into a contract to have any of the work
that is listed in paragraph 1 above done by a third party, Parking Authority shall
require the third party to have in effect for the duration of the project: (a) Commercial
General Liability Insurance written on an "occurrence basis" in an amount of at ]east
$1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate with the County of San Diego
3
2015 Option Agreement
Exhibit "E" Page 20 of 24
named as an "additional insured;" and (b) statutory amount of workers' compensation
insurance for the benefit of the third party's employees.
13. Defense and Indemnity.
a. The County shall defend and indemnify the Parking Authority, its agents,
officers and employees (collectively, referred to in this paragraph as "Parking
Authority"), from any claim, action or proceeding against Parking Authority,
arising solely out of the acts or omissions of County in relation to this
Agreement. At its sole discretion, Parking Authority may participate at its
own expense in the defense of any claim, action or proceeding, but such
participation shall not relieve County of any obligation imposed by this
Agreement. Parking Authority shall notify County promptly of any claim,
action or proceeding and cooperate fully in the defense.
b. The Parking Authority shall defend and indemnify the County, its agents,
officers and employees (collectively referred to in this paragraph as "County")
from any claim, action or proceeding against County, arising solely out of the
acts or omissions of the Parking Authority in relation to this Agreement. At its
sole discretion, County may participate at its own expense in the defense of
any such claim, action or proceeding, but such participation shall not relieve
Parking Authority of any obligation imposed by this Agreement. County shall
notify Parking Authority promptly of any claim, action or proceeding and
cooperate fully in the defense.
c. The County shall defend itself, and the Parking Authority shall defend itself,
from any claim, action or proceeding arising out of the concurrent acts or
omissions of County and Parking Authority. In such cases, County and
Parking Authority agree to retain their own legal counsel, bear their own
defense costs, and waive their right to seek reimbursement of such costs,
except as provided in subparagraph e below.
d. Notwithstanding subparagraph c above, in cases where County and Parking
Authority agree in writing to a joint defense, County and Parking Authority
may appoint joint defense counsel to defend the claim, action or proceeding
arising out of the concurrent acts or omissions of County and Parking
Authority. Joint defense counsel shall be selected by mutual agreement of
County and Parking Authority. County and Parking Authority agree to share
the costs of such joint defense and any agreed settlement in equal amounts,
except as provided in subparagraph e below. County and Parking Authority
further agree that neither party may bind the other to a settlement agreement
4
2015 Option Agreement
Exhibit "E" Page 21 of 24
without the written consent of both County and Parking Authority.
e. Where a trial verdict or arbitration award allocates or determines the
comparative fault of the parties, County and Parking Authority may seek
reimbursement and/or reallocation of defense costs, settlement payments,
judgments and awards, consistent with such comparative fault.
14. Hazardous Substances. Parking Authority shall be solely responsible for fully
complying with all present or future rules, regulations, restrictions, ordinances,
statutes, laws and orders of any governmental entity regarding contaminated soils,
hazardous materials or environmental clean-up, regardless of whether or not the
obligation to comply is on the land owner.
If any hazardous substance spills, leaks or is discharged from any equipment or
facility that Parking Authority brings to or installs, parks or drives on to the
Walkway Area, Parking Authority shall immediately make all repairs necessary to
prevent further spills, leaks or discharges and shall immediately clean up and
promptly dispose of the spilled hazardous substance and any soil contaminated by
the spill. If the Parking Authority fails to make the required repairs, to clean up the
spill or to properly dispose of any contaminated soil, County may after written notice
to Parking Authority take all steps County deems necessary to make the necessary
repairs, to clean up the spill and to dispose of any contaminated soil. The Parking
Authority shall reimburse the County for the cost of all repair and clean up work that
the County does. The Parking Authority shall reimburse the County for this expense
within 30 days of receiving a bill for this work from the County.
The Parking Authority shall be solely responsible for paying all fines, damages and
penalties imposed by any governmental agency regarding the Parking Authority's
production, storage, distribution, processing, handling, disposing, spilling, leaking or
discharging of any hazardous substance on the Walkway Area.
Parking Authority shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless County, its
employees, officers and agents from any and all liability, claims, damages or injuries
to any person, including injury to the County or any of County's employees, officers,
agents, representatives, guests, licensees, invitees, patrons, or of any other person
whomsoever, and all expenses of investigating and defending against same, arising
from or alleged to have arisen from or in connection with hazardous or toxic
materials or waste Parking Authority brings to or spills or discharges on the
Walkway Area or migrating to or from the Walkway Area or arising in any manner
whatsoever out of the violation of any governmental regulation pertaining to
hazardous or toxic materials or waste which condition exists after the execution of
5
2015 Option Agreement
Exhibit "E" Page 22 of 24
this Agreement.

law, or to extend the Term of the Agreement past its expiration date as stated herein.
16. Effective. This Agreement shall not be effective until it is signed by Parking

sentence, Optionee shall, at its sole cost and expense, defend any challenge to the CEQA
document(s) prepared. For purposes of the reimbursement, the Authority's pro rata share shall

stormwater conveyance system of pollutants. Compliance with these laws may
require Parking Authority to develop, install, implement and maintain pollution
prevention measures, source control measures and Best Management Practices
{"BMPs"). BMPs can include operational practices; water or pollutant management
practices; physical site features; or devices to remove pollutants from stormwater, to
affect the flow of stormwater or to infiltrate stormwater to the ground. BMPs
applicable to Parking Authority's work on the Walkway Area may include a
requirement that all materials, wastes or equipment with the potential to pollute urban
runoff be stored in a manner that either prevents contact with rainfall and stormwater,
or contains contaminated runoff for treatment and disposal. Parking Authority shall

Authority's activities or development or redevelopment by Parking Authority or
County. Parking Authority shall develop, install, implement, and maintain such
additional BMPs and/or other pollution control practices at the Walkway Area at
Parking Authority's sole cost and expense. To the extent there is a conflict between
any federal, state or local law, Parking Authority shall comply with the more
restrictive provision. If County receives any fine or fines from any regulatory
agency as a result of Parking Authority's failure to comply with applicable
stormwater laws as set forth in this Agreement, Parking Authority shall reimburse
County for the entire fine amount.
10. Care of Drainage. If the proposed work interferes with the established drainage,

Authority shall furnish to County proof of insurance in a form and amounts
satisfactory to County. The County's requirements shall be reasonable, but shall be
designed to insure protection from risks that exist when Parking Authority ceases to
be self -insured. If Parking Authority enters into a contract to have any of the work
that is listed in paragraph 1 above done by a third party, Parking Authority shall
require the third party to have in effect for the duration of the project: (a) Commercial
General Liability Insurance written on an "occurrence basis" in an amount of at least
$1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate with the County of San Diego

officers and employees (collectively, referred to in this paragraph as "Parking
Authority"), from any claim, action or proceeding against Parking Authority,
arising solely out of the acts or omissions of County in relation to this
Agreement. At its sole discretion, Parking Authority may participate at its
own expense in the defense of any claim, action or proceeding, but such
participation shall not relieve County of any obligation imposed by this
Agreement. Parking Authority shall notify County promptly of any claim,
action or proceeding and cooperate fully in the defense.
b. The Parking Authority shall defend and indemnify the County, its agents,
officers and employees (collectively referred to in this paragraph as "County")

cooperate fully in the defense.
e. The County shall defend itself, and the Parking Authority shall defend itself,
from any claim, action or proceeding arising out of the concurrent acts or
omissions of County and Parking Authority. In such cases, County and
Parking Authority agree to retain their own legal counsel, bear their own
defense costs, and waive their right to seek reimbursement of such costs,
except as provided in subparagraph c below.
d. Notwithstanding subparagraph c above, in cases where County and Parking
Authority agree in writing to a joint defense, County and Parking Authority
may appoint joint defense counsel to defend the claim, action or proceeding
arising out of the concurrent acts or omissions of County and Parking
Authority. Joint defense counsel shall be selected by mutual agreement of
County and Parking Authority. County and Parking Authority agree to share
the costs of such joint defense and any agreed settlement in equal amounts,
except as provided in subparagraph e below. County and Parking Authority
further agree that neither party may bind the other to a settlement agreement
Exhibit "E" Page 21 of 24

e. Where a trial verdict or Arbitration award allocates or determines the
comparative fault of the parties, County and Parking Authority may seek

judgments and awards, consistent with such comparative fault.
14. Hazardous Substances. Parking Authority shall be solely responsible for fully
complying with all present or future rules, regulations, restrictions, ordinances,
statutes, lawn and orders of any governmental entity regarding contaminated soils,
hazardous materials or environmental clean-up, regardless of whether or not the
obligation to comply is on the land owner.
If any hazardous substance spills, leaks or is discharged from any equipment or
facility that Parking Authority brings to or installs, parks or drives on to the
Walkway Area, Parking Authority shall immediately make all repairs necessary to
prevent further spills, leaks or discharges and shall immediately clean up and
promptly dispose of the spilled hazardous substance and any soil contaminated by
the spill. if the Parking Authority fails to make the required repairs, to clean up the
spill or to properly dispose of any contaminated soil, County may after written notice
to Parking Authority take all steps County deems necessary to make the necessary
repairs, to clean up the spill and to dispose of any contaminated soil. The Parking
Authority shall reimburse the County for the cost of all repair and clean up work that
the County does. The Parking Authority shall reimburse the County for this expense
within 30 days of receiving a bill for this work from the County.
The Parking Authority shall be solely responsible for paying all fines, damages and
penalties imposed by any governmental agency regarding the Parking Authority's
production, storage, distribution, processing, handling, disposing, spilling, leaking or
discharging of any hazardous substance on the Walkway Area.
Parking Authority shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless County, its
employees, officers and agents from any and all liability, claims, damages or injuries
to any person, including injury to the County or any of County's employees, officers,
agents, representatives, guests, licensees, invitees, patrons, or of any other person
whomsoever, and all expenses of investigating and defending against same, arising
from or alleged to have arisen from or in connection with hazardous or toxic
materials or waste Parking Authority brings to or spills or discharges on the
Walkway Area or migrating to or from the Walkway Area or arising in any manner
whatsoever out of the violation of any governmental regulation pertaining to
hazardous or toxic materials or waste which condition exists after the execution of
