Recitals
Ned's and the Agency are parties to that certain Disposition and Development Agreement
for Ned's Way Senior Housing Development, dated June 17, 1998 ("DDA"). The parties now
desire to provide for Ned's grading of the Property (as the "Property" is defined in the DDA)
prior to the close of escrow for Ned's acquisition of the Property under the DDA.
Accordingly, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Agreement
1. The Agency hereby grants Ned's permission to enter-,the Property for the purpose
of grading the Property according to the Site Improvement Plans created by Irv Schwartz and
Associates, dated May 4, 2000, and submitted to the Agency on May 15, 2000 (the
"Improvement Plans"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein
by this reference; provided, however, that prior to entering the Property or performing any
grading work thereon, Ned's shall obtain an encroachment permit from the Agency/Town of
Tiburon, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Encroachment Permit") and
any necessary grading permit from the Agency and/or the Town of Tiburon. Ned's shall perform
all grading work in compliance with and according to the Improvement Plans, the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Encroachment Permit, and any grading permit issued
to Ned's.
2. Prior to entering the Property to perform any grading work, Ned's shall provide to
the Agency proof, reasonably acceptable to the Agency, that Ned's has fulfilled all of the
insurance requirements set forth in Section 8.4 of the DDA. = /
3. Ned's shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agency, the Town of
Tiburon, and its employees, officers, agents and representatives from and against all claims,
actions, causes of action, damages, expenses, costs, obligations, injuries, controversies and
liabilities that arise out of or relate to Ned's, or Ned's contractors', agents' consultants' and
representatives', entry onto the Property and their performance of any grading work and/or work

shall properly dispose of all of the soil, materials, and debris from the grading work in
accordance with California and local law. All grading work shall be performed between June
19, 2000 and August 18, 2000. .
5. Nothing in this Agreement, nor Ned's grading of the Property prior to the close of
escrow, shall obligate the Agency to waive any of the conditions of closing in the Agency's
favor set forth in Article 3 of the DDA. Ned's understands and agrees that it performs the
grading work with the risk that one or more of the conditions may not be fulfilled and that the
Agency's obligation to convey the Property to Ned's remains contingent upon fulfillment of all
of the conditions set forth in Article 3 of the DDA.
a. In the event that Ned's does not close escrow on the Property by the
deadline therefor set forth in the DDA (as extended, if at all, in accordance with the terms of the
DDA), Ned's shall, within thirty (30) days of the Agency's written request to Ned's therefor,
completely restore the Property to the condition that the Property was in prior to any grading
work performed by Ned's under this Agreement, the Encroachment Permit, and any grading
permit issued to Ned's. To secure Ned's performance of its obligation to restore the Property to
its pre-grading condition, Ned's shall, upon its execution of this Agreement, deposit with the
Agency the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) as a Performance Deposit. Ned's hereby
agrees that, in the event that Ned's does not complete any and all work required to restore the
Property to its pre-grading condition within the thirty (30) day period set forth above, the Agency
may use and/or apply some or all, as necessary, of the Performance Deposit to pay for the
completion of restoring the Property to its pre-grading condition; provided, however, that, if
Ned's has proceeded in good faith to complete the restoration work within the thirty (30) day
period, then, at least two (2) working days before the Agency applies or uses any of the
Performance Deposit for restoration work or performs any restoration work on the Property, the
Agency shall notify Ned's in writing of the Agency's determination of the nature, scope, and the
estimated cost and time needed for completion of the restoration work that the Agency has
determined remains to be done. Ned's shall, within twenty-four (24) hours of its receipt of the
Agency's notice, inform the Agency in writing whether Ned's shall perform the work set forth in
the Agency's notice. If Ned's fails to respond to the Agency's notice within the 24-hour period
or declines to complete the restoration work set forth in the Agony's notice, the Agency may
apply and use the Performance Deposit funds to pay for the work set forth in its notice. Upon the
Agency completing and/or paying for the work required to restore the Property to its pre-grading
condition, the Agency shall provide Ned's with an accounting of the costs the Agency incurred
to complete the restoration work and shall refund to Ned's the remainder of the Performance
Deposit. In the event Ned's closes escrow on the Property, the Agency shall apply the
Performance Deposit toward the Purchase Price for the Property.
6. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Ned's grading work on the Property shall
be governed by the DDA, the Improvement Plans, the Encroachment Permit and any grading
permit issued to Ned's. All capitalized terms set forth in this Agreement, unless defined herein,
shall have the same meaning as set forth in the DDA.
