Except upon prior written approval from DEQ, Owner may not conduct or allow operations or conditions on the Property or use of the Property in any way that might penetrate any soil cap at the Property or jeopardize the soil cap's protective function as an engineering control that prevents exposure to contaminated soil, including without limitation any excavation, drilling, scraping, or uncontrolled erosion. Owner will likewise restrict public access to areas as necessary to prevent exposure to residual contamination at the Property. Restrictions are outlined below. 3.1.1.Parking and Pine Tree Areas—A demarcation layer and a minimum 6-inch layer of bark dust will be maintained in these areas. Owner will annually inspect these areas and maintain the demarcation layer/cap. The soil near the walkways or the parking areas may be removed to provide at least 4 inches of cover, and will be graded to the completed depth of 6 inches within 2 feet of the edges. 3.1.2.Wetland Area and Wild Areas—Public access to these areas will be limited through the installation and maintenance of a minimum 36-inch high fence, and Owner will additionally maintain the wild character in this area to discourage use by the public. Fencing has already been installed around a portion of the wetland area (south and east of Wall Street Extension), and additional fencing is not necessary with the vegetation maintained in a wild state. Any unintended trails(i.e., created by users that do not stay on designated walkways)that may develop through the overgrown areas need to be repaired and returned to a natural state, such that they will no longer be readily usable. 3.1.3.The North Field—Public access to the North Field Area will be restricted through the installation of a minimum 36-inch fence around the entire area and by allowing area vegetation to grow(i.e.,no cutting of vegetation beyond rough seasonal mowing for fire prevention) 32. Use of the Property. Owner may not occupy or allow other parties to occupy the Property unless the controls listed in this Section 3 are maintained. 4. EASEMENT (RIGHT OF ENTRY) During reasonable hours and subject to reasonable security requirements, DEQ may enter upon and inspect any portion of the Property to determine whether the requirements of this EES have been or are being complied with. Except when necessary to address an imminent threat to human health or the environment,DEQ will use its best efforts to notify the Owner 72 hours before DEQ entry to the Property. DEQ may enter upon the Property at any time to abate, Easement and Equitable Servitudes Page 3 of 7 City of Tigard mitigate, or cure at the expense of the Owner the violation of any condition or restriction contained in this EES,provided DEQ first gives written notice of the violation to Owner describing what is necessary to correct the violation and Owner fails to cure the violation within the time specified in such notice. Any such entry by DEQ to evaluate compliance or to abate, mitigate, or cure a violation may not be deemed a trespass. 5. RELEASE OF RESTRICTIONS 5.1. Owner may request release of any or all of the conditions or restrictions contained in this EES by submitting such request to the DEQ in writing with evidence that the conditions or restrictions are no longer necessary to protect human health and the environment.

In addition, Owner must notify DEQ a minimum of 10 days before the effective date of any change in use of the Property that might expose human or ecological receptors to hazardous substances. Such notice must include complete details of any planned development activities or change in use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner may not commence any development inconsistent with the conditions or restrictions in Section 3 without prior written approval from DEQ as provided in Section 3 of this EES or removal of the condition or restriction as provided in Subsection 5.1. This subsection does not apply to the grant or conveyance of a security interest in the Property. 6.2. Zoning Changes.

Owner will pay DEQ's costs for review and oversight of implementation of and compliance with the provisions in this EES,including but not limited to periodic review and tracking of actions required by this EES. This EES constitutes the binding agreement by the Owner to reimburse DEQ for all such eligible review and oversight costs. DEQ will establish a cost recovery account for tracking and invoicing DEQ project costs. DEQ will provide the Owner with a monthly statement and direct labor summary. DEQ costs will include direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include site-specific expenses and legal costs.

Reference in Deed. A reference to this EES,including its location in the public records,must be recited in any deed conveying the Property or any portion of the Property. Each condition and restriction contained in this EES runs with the land so burdened until such time as the condition or restriction is removed by written certification from DEQ, recorded in the deed records of the County in which the Property is located, certifying that the condition or restriction is no longer required to protect human health or the environment. 6.6. Effect of Recording. Upon the recording of this EES, all future Owners are conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to every condition and restriction contained in this EES,whether or not any reference to this EES is contained in an instrument by which such person or entity occupies or acquires an interest in the Property. 6.7.
