5. Construction of Alternate Access Road from Bear Creek Road to District
Preserve
(a) Covenants to Cooperate. District, at its sole cost and expense, and
at its sole discretion, may explore the feasibility of constructing a separate or a shared alternate
access road(hereafter"Alternate Access Road") for the benefit of District from Bear Creek Road
to the District Permit Parking Lot or any other District public facility that may be developed in
the future. The Parties acknowledge that such an Alternate Access Road might commence at the
Center's entrance to the Center Parcel from Bear Creek Road or may commence elsewhere on
Bear Creek Road. Construction of an Alternate Access Road may necessitate, to some degree, a
widening and or reconfiguration of the portion of the existing Center driveway as shown on
Exhibit_ and its entrance closest to Bear Creek Road, as well as some reconfiguration of Bear
Creek Road itself, all subject to applicable ordinances, rules, regulations; and including, but not
limited to, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). District and Center agree to
cooperate with each other in good faith, in connection with satisfying all reasonable requirements
with respect to the study of the feasibility of such an arrangement. The Parties understand that
such plans are preliminary and not binding. In the event District proposes to construct an
Alternate Access Road to be located, in whole or in part, upon the Center Parcel, such proposal
will be subject to a comprehensive, separate Memorandum of Understanding to be negotiated,
drafted and executed by the Parties taking into account, without limitation, all applicable laws
and the following criteria:
(i) Aesthetics. The scenic qualities along Bear Creek Road
and entrances to the Presentation Center shall be protected from adverse impact to the maximum
extent possible;

any increased traffic flow on the portions of Bear Creek Road surrounding the entrance to
Presentation Center and/or the proposed District facility;
(iv) Public Trails. District would take full responsibility for
evaluating the feasibility of establishing appropriate traffic control measures and other
appropriate improvements along Bear Creek Road for the purpose of providing a public trail

around the District Parking Access Easement. Center is contemplating entering into a Deferred
Improvement Agreement as specified in the Conditions of Approval. If necessary, District and
Center agree to cooperate, in the event the Deferred Improvements Agreement conflicts with
5
EXHIBIT D
District's own Improvement Plans for the Alternate Access Road (defined below), to develop a
mutually acceptable agreement for construction of the an Alternate Access Road for District
which will also permit Center to complete its required Deferred Improvements at Center's sole
cost or to otherwise incorporate the Deferred Improvements in District's Improvement Plans at
Center's sole cost. Nothing in this Section 5 shall interfere with Center's completion of or other
compliance with the Conditions of Approval, at its own cost and election.
(b) Preparation of Plans. In the event District proposes to construct an
Alternate Access Road to be located in whole or in part upon the Center Parcel, and after Center
and District execute the Memorandum of Understanding contemplated in this REA, District shall
cause the preparation of plans and specifications for the improvements being constructed and
installed by District ("District Improvement Plans") for review and approval by the County of
Santa Clara. The District Improvement Plans, and any and all modifications thereto, shall
conform to the Memorandum of Understanding and to applicable County standards and
regu g
regulations. Prior to submitting to the County the District Improvement Plans, or any
modification thereto, District shall deliver the District Improvement Plans to Center for approval
of such portion of the District Improvement Plans as are located on the Center Parcel, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Center does not deliver
to District written notice of approval or disapproval of the District Improvement Plans within 20
days after Center's receipt of such plans, the District Improvement Plans shall be deemed
approved, but only if District has first given Center telephone notice on or before the 15t' day
that it intends to deem such Plans approved. Absent such telephone notice, the Plans shall not be
deemed approved upon Center's failure to timely respond. Such Plans may be resubmitted for
Center approval. If Center does not deliver to District written notice of approval or disapproval
of any modification of the District Improvement Plans within 10 days after Center's receipt of
such modification, the modification shall be deemed approved.
(c) Permits and Bonds. If District determines to construct the
Alternate Access Road, District shall use reasonable efforts to process and obtain all permits and
approvals of the County and any other governmental authorities required to construct and install
the Alternate Access Road in accordance with the District Improvement Plans. District shall
provide payment and performance bonds to guarantee such construction and the payment of all
construction costs arising thereunder, to the extent required by the County and other
governmental authorities
(d) In accordance with the proposed Memorandum of Understanding,
Center shall grant District a temporary construction license, as necessary and subject to a
mutually agreeable License Agreement ("License"), to construct and install the District
Improvements if any portion of the Alternate Access Road is located upon the Center Parcel.
Any such license or construction activity shall be preconditioned on, in addition to the other
requirements of this Article 5, minimizing any disturbance or inconvenience to Center's ongoing
retreat and business operations.

the named insured and Center shall be an additional insured under such policy. Evidence of such
insurance shall be delivered to Center prior to commencement of any work either on the License
area or elsewhere on the Center Parcel. District shall also satisfy all insurance requirements
applicable under the terms of governmental permits or approvals applicable to the construction
and installation of the Improvements. The requirements of this Section may be satisfied by
delivery to Center of evidence of equivalent insurance coverage provided by mentbership in a
government agency self insurance program.

Alternate Access Road at District's sole cost and expense. Center shall not be responsible for
any costs incurred by District in connection with construction of the Alternate Access Road
including, without limitation, costs occasioned by a County requirement that Bear Creek Road be
widened to accommodate District's improvements. However, Center may request District to
incorporate Center's Deferred Improvement Plans, into District's Improvement Plans, pursuant
to Section 5(a)(v). In that event, Center and District will negotiate in good faith to develop a
mutually acceptable cost sharing agreement for such improvements Notwithstanding the above,
Center will pay District for any increased costs District incurs for construction of the Alternate
Access Road which were incurred solely as a result of the incorporation of Center's Deferred
Improvement Plans.
(g) Construction Indemnities. Unless otherwise mutually agreed,
District agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Center from any claims, costs, losses, expenses
and liabilities (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred in connection with all claims,
arising from or a result of any mechanic's liens, stop notices or other claims regarding materials
supplied or work performed, or the death, or accident, or injury, caused to any natural person, or
to the property of any person, as shall occur by reason of the installation of the Alternate Access
Road except for claims caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Center and its
permittees. The form of indemnity shall be mutually acceptable to the Parties.
(h) Term. The term of the obligation of the Parties under this Article 5
of the REA shall commence upon the mutual execution of this REA and the subsequent delivery
of the REA to the respective Parties. This Article 5 shall terminate upon the later of 10 years
from the mutual execution date of this REA or December 31, 2013.

the terms of said Easements shall prevail.

5. Construction of Alternate Access Road from Bear Creek Road to District
Preserve
(a) Covenants to Cooperate. District, at its sole cost and expense, and
at its sole discretion, may explore the feasibility of constructing a separate or a shared alternate
access road (hereafter"Alternate Access Road") for the benefit of District from Bear Creek Road
to the District Permit Parking Lot or any other District public facility that may be developed in
the future. The Parties acknowledge that such an Alternate Access Road might commence at the
Center's entrance to the Center Parcel from Bear Creek Road or may commence elsewhere on
Bear Creek Road. Construction of an Alternate Access Road may necessitate, to some degree, a
widening and or reconfiguration of the portion of the existing Center driveway as shown on
Exhibit C and its entrance closest to Bear Creek Road, as well as some reconfiguration of Bear
Creek Road itself, all subject to applicable ordinances, rules, regulations, and including, but not
limited to, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). District and Center agree to
cooperate with each other in good faith, in connection with satisfying all reasonable requirements
with respect to the study of the feasibility of such an arrangement. The Parties understand that
such plans are preliminary and not binding. In the event District proposes to construct an
Alternate Access Road to be located, in whole or in part, upon the Center Parcel, such proposal
will be subject to a comprehensive, separate Memorandum of Understanding to be negotiated,
drafted and executed by the Parties taking into account, without limitation, all applicable laws
and the following criteria:
(i) Aesthetics. The scenic qualities along Bear Creek Road
and entrances to the Presentation Center shall be protected from adverse impact to the maximum
extent possible;
(ii) Signaee. The Parties recognize that it is of paramount
importance that appropriate signage be installed to avoid any confusion as to the location and
identity of Presentation Center;
(iii) Safety. All plans and specifications shall take into account
any increased traffic flow on the portions of Bear Creek Road surrounding the entrance to
Presentation Center and/or the proposed District facility;
(iv) Public Trails. District would take full responsibility for
evaluating the feasibility of establishing appropriate traffic control measures and other
appropriate improvements along Bear Creek Road for the purpose of providing a public trail
across Bear Creek Road, thereby connecting public trails on both sides of Bear Creek Road.

the Center's Architectural and Site Approval Conditions of Approval for (File No. 8351-44-25-
02P-02A), dated February 6, 2003, relevant portions of which are attached hereto as Exhibit E
("Conditional Use Permit"), which include certain street and drainage improvements in and
around the District Parking Access Easement. Center is contemplating entering into a Deferred
Improvement Agreement as specified in the Conditions of Approval. If necessary, District and
Center agree to cooperate, in the event the Deferred Improvements Agreement conflicts with
5
District's own Improvement Plans for the Alternate Access Road (defined below), to develop a
mutually acceptable agreement for construction of the an Alternate Access Road for District
which will also permit Center to complete its required Deferred Improvements at Center's sole
cost or to otherwise incorporate the Deferred Improvements in District's Improvement Plans at
Center's sole cost. Nothing in this Section 5 shall interfere with Center's completion of or other
compliance with the Conditions of Approval, at its own cost and election.
(b) Preparation of Plans. In the event District proposes to construct an
Alternate Access Road to be located in whole or in part upon the Center Parcel, and after Center
and District execute the Memorandum of Understanding contemplated in this REA, District shall
cause the preparation of plans and specifications for the improvements being constructed and
installed by District ("District Improvement Plans") for review and approval by the County of
Santa Clara. The District Improvement Plans, and any and all modifications thereto, shall
conform to the Memorandum of Understanding and to applicable County standards and
regulations. Prior to submitting to the County the District Improvement Plans, or any
modification thereto, District shall deliver the District Improvement Plans to Center for approval
of such portion of the District Improvement Plans as are located on the Center Parcel, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Center does not deliver
to District written notice of approval or disapproval of the District Improvement Plans within 20
days after Center's receipt of such plans, the District Improvement Plans shall be deemed
approved, but only if District has first given Center telephone notice on or before the 15'h day
that it intends to deem such Plans approved. Absent such telephone notice, the Plans shall not be
deemed approved upon Center's failure to timely respond. Such Plans may be resubmitted for
Center approval. If Center does not deliver to District written notice of approval or disapproval
of any modification of the District Improvement Plans within 10 days after Center's receipt of
such modification,the modification shall be deemed approved.
(c) Permits and Bonds. If District determines to construct the
Alternate Access Road, District shall use reasonable efforts to process and obtain all permits and
approvals of the County and any other governmental authorities required to construct and install
the Alternate Access Road in accordance with the District Improvement Plans. District shall
provide payment and performance bonds to guarantee such construction and the payment of all
construction costs arising thereunder, to the extent required by the County and other
governmental authorities
(d) In accordance with the proposed Memorandum of Understanding,
Center shall grant District a temporary construction license, as necessary and subject to a
mutually agreeable License Agreement ("License"), to construct and install the District
Improvements if any portion of the Alternate Access Road is located upon the Center Parcel.
Any such license or construction activity shall be preconditioned on, in addition to the other
requirements of this Article 5, minimizing any disturbance or inconvenience to Center's ongoing
retreat and business operations.
(e) Insurance. Prior to the entry onto the License area for the Center
Parcel for purposes of constructing and installing the Improvements, District shall obtain and
maintain throughout the construction period until completion, comprehensive general liability
6
and property damage insurance, written on an occurrence basis, insuring against personal injury,
death or property damage in the amount of at least $5,000,000 per occurrence. District shall be
the named insured and Center shall be an additional insured under such policy. Evidence of such
insurance shall be delivered to Center prior to commencement of any work either on the License
area or elsewhere on the Center Parcel. District shall also satisfy all insurance requirements
applicable under the terms of governmental permits or approvals applicable to the construction
and installation of the Improvements. The requirements of this Section may be satisfied by
delivery to Center of evidence of equivalent insurance coverage provided by membership in a
government agency self insurance program.
(f) Cost of Construction. District shall construct and install the
Alternate Access Road at District's sole cost and expense. Center shall not be responsible for
any costs incurred by District in connection with construction of the Alternate Access Road
including,without limitation, costs occasioned by a County requirement that Bear Creek Road be
widened to accommodate District's improvements. However, Center may request District to
incorporate Center's Deferred Improvement Plans, into District's Improvement Plans, pursuant
to Section 5(a)(v). In that event, Center and District will negotiate in good faith to develop a
mutually acceptable cost sharing agreement for such improvements Notwithstanding the above,
Center will pay District for any increased costs District incurs for construction of the Alternate
Access Road which were incurred solely as a result of the incorporation of Center's Deferred
Improvement Plans.
(g) Construction Indemnities. Unless otherwise mutually agreed,
District agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Center from any claims, costs, losses, expenses
and liabilities (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred in connection with all claims,
arising from or a result of any mechanic's liens, stop notices or other claims regarding materials
supplied or work performed, or the death, or accident, or injury, caused to any natural person, or
to the property of any person, as shall occur by reason of the installation of the Alternate Access
Road except for claims caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Center and its
permittees. The form of indemnity shall be mutually acceptable to the Parties.
(h) Term. The term of the obligation of the Parties under this Article 5
of the REA shall commence upon the mutual execution of this REA and the subsequent delivery
of the REA to the respective Parties. This Article 5 shall terminate upon the later of 10 years
from the mutual execution date of this REA or December 31, 2013.
6. Existing Easements. The provisions of this Agreement are subject to any
and all existing easements or rights of way affecting the Center and District's Parcels. In the
event of any conflict between this Reciprocal Easement and Use Agreement and the terms of the
Center Parking Lot Easement or District Parking Access Easement (collectively, "Easements")
the terms of said Easements shall prevail.
7. Notice. All notices, demands, consents, requests, approvals, disapprovals,
designations or other communications (all of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as "notice")

13. Subordination. Except as set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Easement shall be
superior to any and all deeds of trusts, mortgages, liens, ground leases, licenses, covenants or
encumbrances affecting the District Parcel recorded after the recordation of this Agreement, and
this Agreement shall survive the foreclosure or termination of any such instrument or interest.
14. No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
making Grantor and Grantee joint venturers or partners.
15. Miscellaneous
A. Dispute Resolutions. The Parties, on behalf of themselves and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns, agree that if they cannot
resolve any dispute or claim between themselves (including, but not limited to, any dispute as to
whether a particular matter must be arbitrated or any claim that a Party was fraudulently induced
into entering into this Agreement or any part of this Agreement), the dispute or claim shall be
decided solely and exclusively by final and binding arbitration. The location of the arbitration
shall be in Santa Clara County, California. The arbitration shall be in lieu of litigation in state or
federal court and in lieu of trial by judge or by jury, and shall instead be conducted by
JAMS-Endispute, or its successor, in accordance with its applicable arbitration rules and
procedures then in effect. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the single arbitrator will be chosen
from JAMS-Endispute's panel of retired judges. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and the Parties shall be entitled to
utilize the courts to enforce the award. The Parties hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and
irrevocably waive their right to a trial by jury and agree that if the foregoing binding arbitration
provision is determined for any reason to be unenforceable or inapplicable to a particular dispute,
then such dispute shall be decided solely by a judge (without the use of a jury) sitting in a court
of competent jurisdiction. This binding arbitration and jury waiver provision shall survive
termination or expiration of this Agreement.
B. Captions. The captions of this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of
convenience and for reference. They do not define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this
Agreement and they shall not affect the interpretation hereof.
C. Exhibits. Each of the Exhibits references in this Agreement is attached

D. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in
writing executed by the Parties hereto or their successors and assigns.
E. Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
F. Written Consent Required. Whenever a Party is requested to consent or to
approve of any matter with respect to which its consent or approval is required by this
Agreement, such consent or approval shall be given in writing.
G. Further Assurances. The Parties shall execute such further documents and
instruments as may reasonably be required from time to time by the other Party to effectuate and
carry out the provisions hereof and to take such further actions as may reasonably be required to
give the terms hereof full force and effect for the benefit of the Parties.
H. Attorney's Fees. In the event that either Party shall institute any action or
proceeding against any other Party hereto to enforce, interpret or seek damages for breach of any
of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, then the prevailing Party in any such
action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other Party the reasonable attorney
fees and costs incurred by the prevailing Party in the prosecution or defense of any such action or
proceeding.
I. Terms Run with the Land. The easements, terms, covenants and
conditions herein contained shall run with the land and be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the successors and assigns of the Parties hereto pursuant to California Civil Code
Section 1468.
J. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement (or the application of such provision
to persons or circumstances other than those in respect of which it is invalid or unenforceable)
shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Agreement, unless specifically
conditioned upon such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be valid and unenforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
K. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and governed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
L. Authority. Each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of Grantor
represents and warrants to Grantee that he or she is duly authorized to so execute and deliver this
Agreement and that all entity, actions and consents required for execution of this Agreement

Agreement (Center Parking Lot Easement)dated July 9, 2003.
l
D. Grantee desires to have the ability to provide public vehicular access to an area
reserved for the Permit Parking Lot across portions of the Center Parcel, if this Permit Parking
Lot is determined to be necessary and approved in the future by Grantee
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration,the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of Easement.
(a) Access Easement. Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a non-
exclusive easement for the right of access over, across and through portions of the Center Parcel
for vehicular traffic from Bear Creek Road to the District Parcel and the area reserved for a
potential Permit to Parking Lot for up to 15 standard sized vehicles located at the northeast
comer of the Center Parking Lot Easement, as more fully set forth in the plat and legal
description attached hereto as Exhibit C which is incorporated herein by this reference.
References in this Agreement to the term "Easement" shall mean the access easement granted
pursuant to this Section 1.
(b) Definition of District Parking Access Easement. The parties
acknowledge that there is currently a disagreement concerning the surveyed boundaries of the
Center Parcel and the District Parcel more fully described in Section 6 of the Agreement to
Exchange Interests in Real Property entered into between Grantor and Grantee on July 9, 2003
("Exchange Agreement"). The parties acknowledge that resolution of this matter may determine
that a portion of the District Parking Access Easement as described in Exhibit C may lie upon the
District Parcel. Therefore, the term "Easement" or "District Parking Access Easement" as used
in this Agreement shall be limited to mean only that portion or portions of the Easement as
described in Exhibit C which lie upon the Center Parcel as it is described herein and, thereafter
as it is described upon resolution of the above described disagreement pursuant to Section 6 of
the Exchange Agreement.
(c) Term. The term of the Easement shall be perpetual unless
terminated pursuant to Section I(g)herein.
(d) Non-exclusive use. The Easement shall be non-exclusive, and
Grantor may make use of the portions of the District Parking Access Easement subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; provided that such use shall not unreasonably
interfere with the Easement or its intended purposes.
(e) Limitations on Use. This Easement shall be used only for the
purposes set forth herein and for no other, and shall specifically not be used for alternative
pedestrian ingress and egress from Bear Creek Road to and from the potential Permit Parking
Lot. Furthermore, the Easement shall only be used by District, its officials, employees,
contractors, agents or consultants (collectively, "District Licensees") or by those District
Licensees carrying a validly issued permit, issued by District for parking at the potential Permit
Parking-. Lot.
(f) Repair and Maintenance. Center shall be solely responsible for the
maintenance and repair of the District Parking Access Easement; provided, however, that if any
damage is caused to the District Parking Access Easement due solely to the negligence or willful
misconduct of District or any of District's Licensees, then District shall be required at its option
to either promptly repair such damage to Center's reasonable satisfaction or to reimburse Center
for the reasonable cost of repairing such damage.
(g) Termination. The term of the above-described District Parking
Access Easement shall commence; (i) upon issuance of all requisite governmental approvals, if
any, to construct or improve the Permit Parking Lot; (ii) compliance by District with the
provisions of Article 5 below (Insurance); (iii) upon delivery to the Grantor of the REA signed
by all requisite Parties; and (iv) delivery of written notice to the Grantor from the Grantee that
Grantee use of the District Parking Access Easement has commenced ("Conditions"); provided,
however, that if such Conditions have not been satisfied on or before the earlier of the tenth
anniversary of the recordation of this Agreement or December 31, 2013, the grant of easements
contemplated under this Agreement shall cease and be of no further force or effect. Grantor shall
have the right to terminate this Easement upon Grantee's negotiation, construction, and
commencement of use of an alternate route for ingress and egress on District's Parcel, all as
more fully set forth in Section 5 of the REA. Grantee shall provide Grantor with a quit claim
deed, as necessary, suitable for recordation in Santa Clara County, verifying that this Easement
has been so terminated.
2. Approval of Drawings and Location.
(a) Access Easement Area Improvements. The improvements which
are currently constructed within the District Parking Access Easement shall be referred to herein
as the "Access Easement Area Improvements". Any subsequent material changes to the Access
Easement Area Improvements may be made at Grantor's sole discretion but shall not
unreasonably interfere with the Easement.
(b) District Planning and Use of Permit Parking Lot. As part of the
District's Master Planning process for the Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve,District
shall consult with the Grantor on any proposed site plan for Permit Parking Lot. Prior to
approval by District's Board of Directors and submittal of any such plans to the County of Santa
Clara, District shall submit a Site Plan showing the location and dimensions of the proposed
District Permit Parking Lot to Grantor for comment. It is further understood that the District will
consult with Grantor if a Permit Parking Lot is included in the Master Plan so as to minimize any
impacts to or use conflicts with Grantor's adjacent property and use of the Center Parking Lot
Easement.
3. Permits and Approvals. Grantee, at its sole cost and expense, shall secure
all necessary approvals and permits prior to commencement of the initial construction of any
potential Permit Parking Lot Improvements. Grantor shall reasonably cooperate with Grantee to
obtain such approvals and permits, if necessary.

injury, personal injury, death and/or property damage occurring upon, in or about the District
Parking Access Easement, and Grantee's indemnity obligations under this Agreement, with
limits which shall not be less than Five Million ($5,000,000) per occurrence. Grantor shall be
named as additional insureds on such policy. Prior to the commencement of this Easement,
Grantee shall promptly furnish to Grantor an endorsement in a form reasonably satisfactory to
Grantor evidencing such insurance coverage. The endorsement shall provide that the policy may
not be canceled without thirty (30) days prior notice to Grantor, that such policy is primary and
that no insurance held by Grantor shall be called upon to cover a loss under said policy. The
requirements of this Section may be satisfied by delivery to Grantor of evidence of equivalent
issuance coverage provided by membership in a government agency self-insurance program.
6. As-Is Conveyance. Grantee agrees and acknowledges that Grantor makes
no representations or warranties as to the condition of the area contained in the Easement or its

6. BOUNDARY ISSUE.
A. Presentation Center and District acknowledge that there currently exists a
disagreement between the parties concerning whether there are discrepancies in the legal
descriptions of the Presentation Center Land and/or the District Land at or near where the
northerly boundary of the Presentation Center Land meets the southerly boundary of the District
land, the area over which the existing driveway from Bear Creek Road lies and a portion of the
Center Parking Lot Easement, and whether there are discrepancies in the parties' respective
3
surveys of the above-described lands. This disagreement is hereafter referred to as "the
Boundary Issue".
B. Presentation Center and District agree that, within one year of the approval
of this Agreement by the District's Board of Directors, the parties will commence negotiations in
good faith to resolve the Boundary Issue.
C. If within one(1)year from the commencement of such negotiations, the
parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the, Boundary Issue the parties agree to
promptly take all reasonable and necessary steps to amend the legal descriptions of the
Easements as necessary,to reflect the agreed upon resolution of the Boundary Issue and to re-
record the Easements with amended legal descriptions. The parties further agree to take such
other steps as necessary to prepare and record mutually agreeable surveyed boundary lines, and a
record of survey if required.
D. If, within one (1) year from the commencement of the negotiations, the
parties are not able to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the Boundary Issue, the parties
agree that the Boundary Issue shall be decided solely and exclusively by binding arbitration. The
location of the arbitration shall be in Santa Clara County, California. The arbitration shall be in
lieu of litigation in state or federal court and in lieu of trial by judge or by jury, and shall instead
be conducted b JAMS-Endis ute or its successor, in accordance with its applicable arbitration
P Y P P
i e h single arbitrator will
procedures then in effect. Unless the Parties otherwise e the s n e arb rules and roc s
�' g P
be chosen from JAMS-Endispute's panel of retired judges. Judgment upon the award rendered
by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and the Parties shall be entitled
to utilize the courts to enforce the award. The Parties hereby knowingly,voluntarily, and
irrevocably waive their right to a trial by jury and agree that if the foregoing binding arbitration
provision is determined for any reason to be unforceable or inapplicable to a particular dispute,
then such dispute shall be decided solely by a judge (without the use of a jury) sitting in a court
of competent jurisdiction. This binding arbitration and 'u waiver provision shall survive
P J g jury
termination or expiration of this Agreement.
E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the transactional
documents referred to in this agreement, including but not limited to the Easements and the
Purchase Agreement, each party will bear its own costs of resolving the Boundary Issue pursuant
to this Section, including but not limited to attorney's fees, and costs of survey. The parties shall
share equally the cost of the arbitrator's fee. The prevailing party shall not recover attorney's
fees or other costs.
F. The parties agree that, nothing in this Section 6 shall be considered to
affect, and the parties expressly reserve, all factual legal and equitable contention with respect to
the Dispute.
G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the transactional
documents referred to in this Agreement, including the Easements and Purchase Agreement, it is
the parties' agreement and intent that neither the granting nor acceptance of any Easement
described in this Agreement by either party shall be considered in any arbitration or legal
4
proceeding to be an admission or agreement by either party as to the nature or status of any
party's rights in or title to either the underlying District Land or the underlying Presentation
Center Land, as such rights or title existed prior to the recordation date of any Easement Deed
described herein. It is each party's desire to grant the Easements described in this Agreement

days after Center's receipt of such plans, the District Improvement Plans shall be deemed
approved, but only if District has first given Center telephone notice on or before the 151" day

Alternate Access Road, District shall use reasonable efforts to process and obtain all permits and
approvals of the County and any other governmental authorities required to construct and install
the Alternate Access Road in accordance with the District Improvement Plans. District shall

widened to accommodate District's improvements. However, Center may request District to
incorporate Center's Deferred Improvement Plans, into District's Improvement Plans, pursuant
to Section 5(a)(v). In that event, Center and District will negotiate in good faith to develop a
mutually acceptable cost sharing agreement for such improvements Notwithstanding the above,

Access Road which were incurred solely as a result of the incorporation of Center's Deferred
Improvement Plans.

and liabilities (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred in connection with all claims,

supplied or work performed, or the death, or accident, or injury, caused to any natural person, or
to the property of any person, as shall occur by reason of the installation of the Alternate Access
Road except for claims caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Center and its
permittees. The form of indemnity shall be mutually acceptable to the Parties.

of the REA shall commence upon the mutual execution of this REA and the subsequent delivery
of the REA to the respective Parties. This Article 5 shall terminate upon the later of 10 years
from the mutual execution date of this REA or December 31, 2013.

and all existing easements or rights of way affecting the Center and District's Parcels. In the
event of any conflict between this Reciprocal Easement and Use Agreement and the terms of the
Center Parking Lot Easement or District Parking Access Easement (collectively, "Easements")
the terms of said Easements shall prevail.
