Covenantor is the owner of certain property located in the City of Campbell, County of Santa Clara, State of California (the “City”), more particularly described in Exhibit B more commonly known as . B. Covenantor desires to develop the Property but the size of the Property requires it be developed with certain stormwater runoff facilities (the “Facilities”) in accordance with “Best Management Practices” (“BMPs”) required by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Stormwater Discharge Permit issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control BoardSan Francisco Bay Region. C. The required Facilities are shown on the approved development plans and specifications for the Property (the “Plans”), copies of which are kept on file in the Office of the City Engineer. D. In accordance with the NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit and in consideration for discretionary approvals granted by the City allowing the development and use of the Property, Covenantor freely and voluntarily agrees by these covenants to bind Covenantor and its heirs, assigns and successors to construct the Facilities in accordance with the Plans and to maintain the Facilities in good and workable condition based for long term operation. NOW, THEREFORE, Covenantor hereby declares that all of the Property described above shall be held, sold, leased, mortgaged, encumbered, rented, used, occupied, improved and conveyed subject to the following limitations, restrictions, covenants, and conditions, which are imposed as covenants running with the land and ---PAGE BREAK--- J:\FORMS\Templates\Storm Water Requirements\Covenants for Operations & Maintenance of Storm Water Runoff Facilities.doc (Rev. 03/08) Page 2 shall both burden and benefit the land for the purpose of complying with the NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit. 1. PERPETUAL MAINTENANCE OF THE FACILITIES. Covenantor voluntarily and willingly, hereby binds itself and its administrators, executors, successors, heirs, assigns and successors to construct the Facilities in accordance with the Plans and to thereafter maintain the Facilities in good and workable condition for long term operation. No improvements, structures, or appurtenances shall be placed, constructed or developed on the Property in such a way as to interfere with this obligation. 2. Covenantor shall prepare a Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) that details how runoff and associated water quality impacts resulting from the development will be controlled or managed. The Plan shall include sufficient information to evaluate the environmental characteristics of affected areas, the potential impacts of the proposed development on water resources, and the effectiveness and acceptability of measures proposed for managing the stormwater runoff. The minimum information in the SMP is as shown in the attached Exhibit 3. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (O&M) REPORTING. The BMP’s installed and constructed in accordance with the C.3 provisions of the City’s NPDES Storm Water Permit shall be maintained and inspected on a regular basis per the inspection frequency delineated in the Stormwater Management Plan. The operation and maintenance of these BMP’s are to be certified by a qualified individual to ensure that the treatment BMP’s are being operated and maintained accordingly. A list or summary of treatment BMP’s that have been inspected with inspection results and certification shall be submitted to the City annually. 4. COVENANT RUNNING WITH LAND. The obligations established in these covenants both benefit and burden the land and are to run with the land and shall be binding on Covenantor, its administrators, executors, successors, heirs, assigned and successors. 5. ENFORCEMENT AND THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. Enforcement of these covenants shall be by proceedings at law or in equity against any person or persons violating or attempting to violate covenant either to restrain a violation or to recover damages.

CITY RIGHT OF ENTRY TO MAINTAIN. Covenantor, its administrators, executors, successors, heirs, assigns and successors hereby grants a right of entry to City, its authorized agents and employees, for purposes of inspection of the Facilities at reasonable times whenever deemed necessary by City and maintenance of the Facilities by City should Covenantor, its administrators, executors, successors, heirs, ---PAGE BREAK--- J:\FORMS\Templates\Storm Water Requirements\Covenants for Operations & Maintenance of Storm Water Runoff Facilities.doc (Rev. 03/08) Page 3 assigns and successors fail to properly maintain the Facilities in a manner acceptable to the City. In the event Covenantor, its administrators, executors, successors, heirs, assigns and successors fail to properly maintain the Facilities in good and workable order, the City may take any necessary steps to keep the Facilities in good working order. Unless health and safety reasons require immediate access, the City shall provide reasonable notice in advance of the entry on the Property. 7. COST REIMBURSEMENT AND LIEN. If the City performs work of any nature or sort to maintain the Facilities and expends funds for the performance of that work for materials, equipment and/or labor, Covenantor, its administrators, executors, successors, heirs, assigns and successors hereby covenant and agree that upon written notice by City, City shall be reimbursed by Covenantor, its administrators, executors, successors, heirs, assigns and successors for all such costs incurred City for said maintenance within thirty days of receipt of the notice. If payment is not made within the timeline established herein, Covenantor, its administrators, executors, successors, heirs, assigns and successors, agree the amount of the costs incurred by City shall become a lien upon the Property and the City shall have all rights, in law and/or equity, to enforce the lien by foreclosure or other lawful action. The actions available to City as described in this covenant shall not be deemed to limit any other legal or equitable remedy of City. 8. BREACH. Breach of any of the covenants or any reentry by reason of such breach, shall not defeat or render invalid the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith and for value as to the Property or any part thereof; but such covenants shall be binding and effective against any owner of the Property whose title thereto is acquired by foreclosure, trustee’s sale or otherwise. 9.
