WHEREAS, the parties agree that this agreement constitutes an arms length, bargained-
for agreement, which includes a waiver of liability that runs with the land for risks created by the

AGREEMENT
1. In consideration of Grantee issuing development permits, which constitutes good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which and the sufficiency of which the Grantor hereby
acknowledges, the Grantor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the Grantee, its officers, officials,
employees, agents, and assigns harmless from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses, or
suits, whether brought by grantor or third parties, including all legal costs and reasonable

Property, legally described in Exhibit A, which is attached and incorporated by reference.
2. Grantor on its own behalf and on behalf of its heirs, successors and assigns hereby
waives any right to assert any claim against the Grantee, its officers, officials, employees, agents,
and assigns for any loss, or damage to people or property either on or off the site resulting from
any landslide or seismic activity or soil disturbance on said Property by reason of or arising out
of the issuance of the permit(s) by the City for development on said Property except only for
such losses that may directly result from the sole negligence of the City.
