herein in exchange for Grantee permitting Grantor's construction of a single-family residence within Heritage

I. Grantee agrees by accepting this grant to honor the intentions of Grantor stated herein and to

voluntarily deeds and conveys to Grantee a conservation easement in perpetuity over the Property of the
nature and character and to the extent hereinafter set forth ("Easement").
1. Purpose. The purpose of this BCE is to ensure the Property will be preserved in a natural
condition in perpetuity and to prevent any use of the Property that will materially impair or interfere with the
conservation values of the Property. Grantor intends that this BCE will confine the use of the Property to such
activities, including without limitation, those involving the preservation and enhancement of native species and
their habitat in a manner consistent with the habitat conservation purposes of this BCE.
2. Rights of Grantee. To accomplish the purposes of this BCE, Grantor hereby grants and
conveys the following rights to Grantee and the CDFW as a third -party beneficiary of this easement by this
BCE:
(a) To preserve and protect in perpetuity the conservation values of the Property in
accordance with this easement;
(b) To enter upon the property at reasonable times in order to monitor Grantor's
compliance with, and to otherwise enforce the terms of, this BCE, including Grantor's obligation to manage the
property consistent with Grantor's duties as set forth in, this BCE, including but not limited to Section 4 herein,
and for scientific research and interpretive purposes by Grantee or its designees; and CDFW and its designees.
(c) To prevent any activity on or use of the Property that is inconsistent with the purposes
of this BCE and to require the restoration of such areas or features of the Property that may be damaged by
any act, failure to act, or any use that is inconsistent with the purposes of this BCE;
(d) All mineral, air and water rights necessary to protect and sustain the biological
resources of the Property; and
(e) To enforce by means including, injunctive relief, the terms and conditions of the Easement.
3. Prohibited Uses. Any activity on or use of the Property inconsistent with the habitat
conservation purposes of this BCE and not specifically reserved as a right of Grantor is prohibited. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following uses by Grantor, Grantor's agents, and third parties, are
expressly prohibited unless specifically provided for through the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation
Plan/NCCP.

Page 3
(a) Unseasonable watering, use of herbicides, rodenticides, or weed abatement activities,
incompatible fire protection activities and any and all other uses which may adversely affect the purposes of
this BCE;
(b) Use of off -road vehicles; except vehicles used for property maintenance required by
the City of Poway, and then only over existing roads;
(c) Grazing or surface entry for exploration or extraction of minerals;
(d) Erection of any building, billboard, or sign;
(e) Excavating, dredging or removing of loam, gravel, soil, rock, sand or other material;
(f) Otherwise altering the general topography of the Property, including building of roads
or changing the grade of the Property;
(g) Removing, destroying, or cutting of trees, shrubs, or other vegetation, except as
required by law for: (1) firebreaks, (2) maintenance of existing foot trails or roads, or (3) prevention or treatment
of disease;
(h) Planting of trees or other vegetation except by written permission from the City of
Poway.
4. Grantor's Duties. Grantor shall undertake all reasonable actions to prevent the unlawful entry
and trespass by persons whose activities may degrade or harm the conservation values of the Property. In
addition, Grantor shall undertake all necessary actions to protect Grantee's rights under Section 2 of this BCE.
Grantor further covenants that maintenance of the Property, to wit: cleanup of all trash and debris, shall be
the Grantor's responsibility.
5. Reserved Rights. Grantor reserves to itself, and to its personal representatives, heirs,
successors, and assigns, all rights accruing from its ownership of the Property, including the right to engage
in or to permit or invite others to engage in all uses of the Property that are consistent with the purposes of this
BCE and the limitations set forth herein.
6. Grantee's Remedies. If Grantee determines that Grantor is in violation of the terms of this
BCE or that a violation is threatened, Grantee shall give written notice to Grantor of such violation and demand
in writing corrective action sufficient to cure the violation. Grantee shall also notify the CDFW. If Grantor fails
to cure the violation within thirty (30) days after receipt of said written notice and demand from Grantee, or if
the cure reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to complete and Grantor fails to begin the cure within
the thirty (30) day period or fails to continue diligently to complete the cure, Grantee may bring an action at law
or in equity in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this BCE, to recover any damages to
which Grantee may be entitled for violation by Grantor of the terms of this BCE, to enjoin the violation, ex parte
as necessary, by temporary or permanent injunction without the necessity of proving either actual damages or
the inadequacy of otherwise available legal remedies, or for other equitable relief, including, but not limited to,
the restoration of the Property to the condition in which it existed prior to any such violation or injury. Without
limiting Grantor's liability therefore, Grantee may apply any damages recovered to the cost of undertaking any
corrective action on the Property.
If Grantee, in its sole discretion, determines that circumstances require immediate action to
prevent or mitigate significant damage to the conservation values of the Property, Grantee may pursue its
remedies under this paragraph without prior notice to Grantor or without waiting for the period provided for
cure to expire. Grantee's rights under this paragraph apply equally to actual or threatened violations of the
terms of this BCE. Grantor and Grantee agree that Grantee's remedies for any violation of the terms of this
BCE is the injunctive relief described in this section, both prohibitive and mandatory, in addition to such other
relief to which Grantee may be entitled, including specific performance of the terms of this BCE in each case,
without the necessity of proving either actual damages or the inadequacy of otherwise available legal remedies.

Page 4
Grantee's remedies described in this section shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all remedies now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity, including but not limited to, the remedies set forth in Civil Code Section
815, et seq., inclusive.
If at any time in the future Grantor or any subsequent transferee uses or threatens to use such
lands for purposes inconsistent with this BCE, notwithstanding Civil Code Section 815.7, the California Attorney
General or third -party entities organized for conservation purposes have standing as interested parties in any

shall be at the discretion of Grantee and CDFW, and any forbearance by Grantee or CDFW to exercise its
rights under this BCE by Grantor shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver by Grantee of such term or
of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term of this BCE or of any of the Grantee's rights under
this BCE. No delay or omission by Grantee or CDFW in the exercise of any right or remedy upon any breach
by Grantor shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

entitle Grantee and CDFW to bring any action against Grantor for any injury or change in the Property resulting
from causes beyond Grantor's control, including, fire, flood, storm, and earth movement, or any prudent action
taken by Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to the Property
resulting from such causes.

and CDFW.

without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or in any way connected with: (1) injury to or the
death of any person, or physical damages to any property resulting from any act, omission, condition, or other
matter related to or occurring on or about the Property, regardless of cause; (2) the obligations specified in
Sections 4, 9, and 9.1; and (3) the existence or administration of this BCE.

have the right to prevent subsequent transfers in which prospective subsequent claimants or transferees are
not given notice of the covenants, terms, conditions and restrictions of this BCE. The failure of Grantor or
Grantee to perform any act provided in this section shall not impair the validity of this BCE or limit its
enforceability in any way. Grantor shall not grant additional easements or other interests in the property without
the prior written authorization of Grantee and CDFW.
