RECITALS WHEREAS, the Transportation Agencies plan to convert that portion of the existing two lane highway located generally between Interstate 80 (I-80) in Hercules, California and the Cummings Skyway in Martinez, California, into a four lane divided highway, as more particularly depicted in Exhibit "A" (hereinafter the "Project Area"); and WHEREAS, CPL operates several pipelines on a right-of-way located along State Route 4 between Hercules, California, and Martinez, California. Transportation Agencies have notified CPL that it will be required to remove and relocate its pipeline facilities from the Project Area to a new pipeline corridor which will be acquired by the Transportation Agencies to accommodate its future operations and the operation of other common carrier pipelines and public utilities located in the Project Area; and WHEREAS, the Transportation Agencies commissioned site assessment activities to be undertaken in the Project Area, which assessment identified residual weathered crude oil to be present in the subsurface soil (hereinafter the "impacted material")in the portion of CPL's pipeline corridor located in the vicinity of the Yellow Freight property. The results of the investigation and the area of the impacted material are described in the report entitled Geocon's Geotechnical and Environmental Consultant's (Geoncon) Site Investigation Report, Route 4 Gap Closure Project, Contra Costa County, California, dated January 1998 and as supplemented in November 1998(hereinafter the"Report"); and WHEREAS, the Report concluded that the impacted material described above, does not pose a hazard to human health; and WHEREAS, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, on the date of December 10, 1999, confirmed by letter that the site investigation and remedial action relating to the weathered crude oil, as referenced in the Report, was complete. 1 INDEMNITY and HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT JNR 10..20..2000/5-228 NOW, THEREFORE, in an effort to amicably resolve certain issues relating to the responsibility and liability for the impacted material and any remedial treatment thereof which may be required in the future by government agency(ies) with jurisdiction, the parties have agreed to enter into this Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement (hereinafter the "Agreement") as follows. 1. CPL agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Transportation Agencies and each of them, free and harmless from: i] any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, orders, judgments and claims of any kind, whether meritorious or not, arising from any and all claims or demands from any third parry, including, without limitation, any governmental or regulatory agencies, resulting from or related to any impacted material located both on and off the right-of-way to be abandoned by CPL and in the area identified by Geocon in the Report which originated from or was caused by the operation of CPL'S pipeline facilities; and ii] the remediation or the implementation or completion of, or failure to implement or complete, any remediation, assessment, monitoring etc., of the impacted material as required herein or under any applicable laws or regulations. For purposes of this Agreement, and without any waiver of any rights which Transportation Agencies may otherwise have, the term "third party" shall not include Transportation Agencies or any of them, or any successors)-in-interest or assigns of said Agencies in the Project Area. CPL'S indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent that the harm to which the indemnity is asserted to apply was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of any indemnitee hereunder. CPL'S agreement to indemnify the Transportation Agencies is contingent upon the approval from the Transportation Agencies and each of them, as reflected herein, that the impacted material present within the right-of-way to be abandoned by CPL and caused by or resulting from the operation of CPL's pipeline facilities, may remain in place consistent with the letter from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board dated December 10, 1999, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B" to this Agreement, and as long as the presence of the impacted material without remediation does not violate any applicable law or regulation nor any requirement of any court and/or governmental agency with remedial oversight responsibility that it be removed, nor does the presence of the impacted material prevent the Transportation Agencies from proceeding with a project in the area. Upon obtaining knowledge of a claim for which it is entitled to indemnity under this Agreement, the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnitee") shall promptly notify CPL in writing specifying, in reasonable detail, the facts known to the Indemnitee regarding the claim(the "Notice of Claim"). The failure to provide (or timely provide) a Notice of Claim shall not affect the Indemnitee's rights to indemnification; provided, however, that CPL is not obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for the increased amount of any claim that would otherwise have been avoided to the extent that 2 INDEMNITY and HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT JNR 10..20..2040!5-228 the increase resulted from the failure to deliver a timely Notice of Claim. CPL shall defend, in good faith and at its sole expense, any claim or demand set forth in a Notice of Claim and the Indemnitee, at its sole expense, may participate in the defense. The Indemnitee cannot settle or compromise any indemnifiable claim so long as CPL is defending it in good faith. The parties shall cooperate in the defense of the claim. CPL shall (a) consult with the Indemnitee throughout the pendency of the claim regarding the investigation, defense, settlement, trial, appeal or other resolution of the claim; and (b) afford the Indemnitee the opportunity to be associated in the defense of the claim. If CPL elects not to contest an indemnifiable claim, the Indemnitee may undertake its defense, and CPL shall be bound by the result obtained by the Indemnitee. If the tender is accepted by CPL, CPL shall, except as otherwise provided herein, have the right to speck for the Indemnitee in any negotiations, settlement discussions, or litigation proceedings with government agencies relating to the presence of the impacted material on the Project Area, and concerning any third party claims tendered to CPL. CPL's duty to indemnify and hold the parties to this Agreement harmless against third party claims, shall include the obligation to reimburse reasonable attorney's and consultant's fees actually and reasonably incurred by any Indemnitees in defense of said claims, so long as said costs and expenses were incurred after CPL rejected the tendered claim. Under no circumstances shall CPL be responsible for any attorney's or consultant's fees incurred by the Indemnitee after CPL has accepted the tendered claim. 2. This Agreement shall apply to and be binding upon each of the parties, and their agents, employees, successors in interest and assigns. The undersigned representatives of the respective parties certify that they are fully authorized by the party or parties whom they represent to enter into the terms and conditions of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement, and to legally bind that party or parties. 3.
