Freeman, a married man as his sole and separate property, and Sara Freeman, a single woman, all as Tenants in Common, individually and collectively hereinafter referred to as "Covenantor", are the record owners of the real property situated in the City of Fresno, County of Fresno, State of California, APN 506-320-42S, commonly known as the Remainder parcel as shown on Parcel Map No. 2004-20, according to the map thereof recorded in Book 65 of Parcel Maps at Pages 46 and 47, Fresno County Records, hereinafter called the "Real Property". WHEREAS, certain property immediately outside and abutting the Real Property is a public easement and right-of-way, hereinafter referred to as the "Public Right of Way"; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 11 Article 2 of the Fresno Municipal Code, Covenantor has requested an Encroachment Permit ("Permit") from the City of Fresno ("City") for permission to install a 10-inch diameter storm drain line, hereinafter referred to as the "Facility", to connect to Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District's system within a portion of the Public Right of Way as shown in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein, hereinafter referred to as the "Encroachment Area"; and WHEREAS, the City's Department of Public Works Director ("Director") has reviewed Covenantors' Encroachment Permit Application and finds as follows: (1) that the issuance of the Permit will meet a legitimate purpose of Covenantor; (2) that this purpose cannot be feasibly accomplished by other means; and (3) that issuance of the Permit for Covenantor's purpose will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, which recitals are contractual in nature, the mutual promises herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: -1- 1. In accordance with this Covenant and Permit and subject to Chapter 11, Article 2, Section 11-216.5 of the Fresno Municipal Code, a nonexclusive, revocable Encroachment Permit to use and occupy the Encroachment Area solely as provided for hereunder shall issue to Covenantor automatically with the recording of this Covenant and Permit. 2. The Encroachment Permit shall continue in effect until revoked by City in any manner provided hereunder. The City, its representatives, permittees and franchisees shall have the right to enter upon all or any part of the Encroachment Area at any time for any lawful purpose(s). 3. Covenantor is neither an employee, partner nor agent of the City. Covenantor, at its sole cost, expense and liability, shall use the Encroachment Area solely for purposes of installing, operating, maintaining and repairing the Facility. In the event Covenantor fails to reasonably repair any damage to the Encroachment Area caused by Covenantor or the Facility, City may do so at the sole cost, expense and liability of Covenantor. 4. Covenantor shall maintain the Encroachment Area free of any nuisance in fact or in law. Covenantor shall at all times conduct Covenantor's activities, or cause Covenantor's activities to be conducted, in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Covenantor shall be solely responsible for operation, maintenance and repair of the Facility, including without limitation all costs associated therewith. Covenantor shall at all times operate, maintain and repair the Facility so that there is no unreasonable interference with vehicular or pedestrian traffic. In addition to its governmental, legislative, administrative and regulatory activities, the City retains the right to verify that the Covenantor is performing its respective obligations in accordance with controlling law and the terms and conditions hereof 5. This Encroachment Permit does not relieve Covenantor from the obligation of obtaining a street work permit pursuant to Chapter 11, Article 2, Section 11- 202 for any work to be done in the Public Right of Way contiguous to or within the Encroachment Area. Before beginning to install the Facility, Covenantor shall obtain written approval of all plans, drawings, and specifications for such installation from the Director. Upon such approval, Covenantor shall install the Facility as promptly as practicable in strict accordance with the approved plans, drawings, and specifications. No change shall be made in the approved plans, drawings, or specifications without the prior written approval of the Director. 6. Covenantor shall join and maintain at all times membership with Underground Service Alert. 7. City makes no representation or warranty as to the nature or extent of City's interest in, or the condition or suitability of, the Encroachment Area. Covenantor shall inform and satisfy itself in such regards. Convenantor shall obtain any and all title reports, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to lawfully enter the Encroachment Area and install the Facility. This -2- Encroachment Permit is not permission to trespass on any property, publicly or privately owned. 8. At all times hereunder, Covenantor shall pay for and maintain in full force and effect a policy of COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY insurance which shall include contractual, products and completed operations coverages, bodily injury and property damage liability insurance with combined single limits of not less then $1,000,000 per occurrence. Said policy shall be with an insurance company either (i) admitted by the California Insurance Commissioner to do business in the State of California and rated not less than "A-VII" in Best's Insurance Rating Guide, or (ii) authorized by the City's Risk Manager. The above described policy of insurance shall be endorsed to provide an unrestricted thirty (30) day written notice in favor of City, of policy cancellation, change or reduction of coverage. In the event any policy is due to expire during the life of this Permit, Covenantor shall provide a new certificate evidencing renewal of such policy not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of the expiring policy. Upon issuance by the insurer, broker, or agent of a notice of cancellation, change or reduction in coverage, Covenantor shall file with City a certified copy of the new or renewal policy and certificate for such policy. The General Liability insurance policy shall be written on an occurrence form and shall name City, its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers as an additional insured. Such policy of insurance shall be endorsed so Covenantor's insurance shall be primary and no contribution shall be required of City. Covenantor shall furnish City with the certificate(s) and applicable endorsements for the required insurance prior to any occupancy or use of the Encroachment Area. Covenantor shall furnish City with a copy of the actual policy upon the request of the City's Risk Manager at any time during the life of the permit. If at any time during the life of the permit, Covenantor fails to maintain the required insurance in full force and effect, any work being performed related to and/or the use of the Encroachment Area shall be discontinued immediately until notice is received by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to the City. 9. Covenantor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages (whether imposed under authority of statute or common law, in contract, tort, or strict liability, including but not limited to personal injury, death at any time, and, property damage) incurred by the City, Covenantor or any other person, and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including attorney's fees and litigation expenses) arising or alleged to have arisen directly or indirectly out of or in any way connected with (a) the issuance and pursuit of this Covenant and Permit, (b) use of the Encroachment Area by Covenantor, its employees, officers, agents, contractors or subcontractors, and/or (c) design, -3- installation, operation, maintenance, repair and/or removal of the Facility. Covenantor's obligations under the preceding sentence shall apply regardless of whether the City or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers are actively or passively negligent, but shall not apply to any loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs or damages caused solely by the active negligence or by the willful misconduct of City or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers. This section shall survive revocation of this Covenant and Permit. 10. The City, in its sole discretion, may revoke the Encroachment Permit (i) upon Director's determination that the Covenantor has failed to comply with one or more of the terms, conditions, or restrictions hereunder, and/or (ii) upon Director's determination that the use of the Encroachment Area, or any portion thereof, is required for any municipal or public utility purpose or is detrimental to or not in furtherance of the public health, safety, welfare and interest. City shall endeavor to give at least ninety (90) days written notice of such requirement and/or finding either by mailing such notice through the United States mail, or by personal delivery, to Covenantor at its address of record or at such other address as is provided to City in writing by Covenantor. Upon any revocation of the Encroachment Permit, Covenantor shall at its sole cost, expense and liability remove the Facility and any and all appurtenant structures and equipment located in the Encroachment Area, restore the Encroachment Area to substantially the same condition it was in prior to removal of the Facility, and surrender to the City all possession, use and occupation of the Encroachment Area. Further, Covenantor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, demands, claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses of whatsoever kind or nature, including, but not limited to, any and all direct and indirect costs of defense, made against, or incurred or suffered by, any such indemnitee resulting directly or indirectly from the requirements of this Section, or otherwise in connection with the reoccupation and repossession of the Encroachment Area by the City. 11. This Covenant shall run with the land, and shall be jointly and severally binding upon Covenantor and each of its heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns. 12. Covenantor represents and warrants that Covenantor has consulted with the City of Fresno's Development Department to confirm whether any additional permit(s) are required for the encroachment and Facility and Covenantor agrees to apply for and acquire such additional permit(s). City may revoke the Encroachment Permit in the manner provided in Section 10 above, should such additional permit(s) be required by City and is not timely obtained by Covenantor. 13. The prevailing party in any action to enforce or interpret any term, covenant or condition of the Covenant and Permit shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses. -4- 14. The provisions of the Covenant and Permit are severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision, or part thereof, shall not affect the validity or invalidity of any other provision, provided that City may revoke the Encroachment Permit in the manner provided in Section 10 above, in the event such invalidity or unenforceability shall cause the Covenant and Permit to fail of its essential purposes. 15. The parties acknowledge that this Covenant and Permit in its final form is the result of combined efforts of the parties and that, should any provision of this Covenant and Permit be found to be ambiguous in any way, such ambiguity shall not be resolved by construing this Covenant and Permit in favor or against any party, but rather by construing the terms in accordance with their generally accepted meaning. 16. In the event of any conflict between the body of this Covenant and Permit and any Exhibit or Attachment hereto, the terms and conditions of the body of this Covenant and Permit shall control and take precedence over the terms and conditions expressed within the Exhibit or Attachment. Furthermore, any terms or conditions contained within any Exhibit or Attachment hereto which purport to modify the allocation of risk between the parties, provided for within the body of this Covenant and Permit, shall be null and void. 17. Whenever in this Covenant and Permit the context hereof requires, the neuter shall include the masculine or feminine or both and the singular shall include the plural. 18. Covenantor agrees to protect and hold harmless the City, the Facility, the Encroachment Area, and any and all improvements located therein or thereon and any and all facilities appurtenant thereto and any and all other property(ies) located therein or thereon and any and all of City's interest(s) in and/or to said premises, improvements, appurtenant facilities, and/or other property(ies), from any and all such taxes and assessments, including any and all interest, penalties and other expenses which may be imposed thereby or result therefrom, and from any lien therefor or sale or other proceedings to enforce payment thereof. Nothing within this Section 18 shall be deemed to limit any of Covenantor's rights to appeal any such levies and/or assessments in accordance with the rules, regulations, laws, statutes, or ordinances governing the appeal process of the taxing authority(ies) making such levies and/or assessments. 19. By its signature(s) hereunto affixed, Covenantor expressly acknowledges and clearly understands that neither this Covenant and Permit, nor the issuance of this Covenant and Permit by City to Covenantor nor acceptance of this Covenant and Permit by Covenantor constitutes, in any way whatsoever, any agreement by or on behalf of City to enter into any further/other agreement, permit, lease, or other arrangement of any type whatsoever, beyond the term of or in addition to this Covenant and Permit. -5- In WITNESS WHEREOF, the Covenantor has executed this Covenant and Permit. - "—?n - Date: /)41&1— , 2007 Jordan M eeman X cirz �1) Date: Y V , 2007 Jared T.
