SECTION 1
JCP STATUTORY MAP READING DETERMINA liONS AND DISCUSSIONS SUMMARY
The statutory Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement on page one of this report does not provide for informing purchasers if the property is only
partially within any of the delineated zones or provide additional flood zone information which could be very important to the disclosure process.
This summary of JCP's map reading used to complete the statutory form in this report is provided here to give buyers the additional information
they may need to help them in the decision making process and to place the information in perspective.
o 0 0 SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA 0 0 0
Determination
NOT IN a Special Flood Hazard Area. IN a FEMA-designated Flood Zone S, D. If the property is located in or partially in
any Zone A or V, lenders are federally required to have homeowners purchase and maintain flood insurance.
Discussion
Property in a Special Flood Hazard Area "N or "V' is subject to flooding in a "100-year rainstorm." Federally connected lenders are required to
have homeowners maintain flood insurance. in these zones. A 100-year flood occurs on average once every 100 years, but may not occur in
1,000 years or may occur in successive years. Other types of flooding. such as dam failure, are not considered in developing these zones. In
some cases, the insurance requirement may be waived or modified by obtaining a "Letter of Map Revision" (LOMR) or "Letter of Map
Amendment'! (LOMA) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This might be possible where flooding is shallow and fill was
placed on the site, appropriate flood controi measures were taken, or only the lot and no part of the structure is in the zone. Contact FEMA
directly for more information. Flood insurance for properties in Zones B, C. X or D is available but is not required.
For more information about flood zones, visit htto:llwww.f1oodsmart.Qovlfloodsmart/oaQes/riskassesmentlfloodzonesdefined.iso
Zone B: Area of moderate flood risk. These are areas between the "100" and "500" year flood-risk levels.
Zones C, D: NOT IN an area of "100-year" flooding. Area of minimal (Zone C) or undetermined (Zone D) flood hazard.
PUBLIC RECORD: Official Flood Insurance Rate Maps ("FIRM") compiled and issued by FEMA pursuant to 42 United States Code S4001 , et
seq.
o 0 0 AREA OF POTENTIAL FLOODING (DAM FAILURE) 0 0 0
Determination
Not in an area of potential dam inundation.
Discussion
These areas are subject to potential flooding in the event of a sudden and total failure of a dam and injury could occur as a result. Most areas
are defined assuming an instantaneous dam failure with a full reservoir. However, dams rarely fail instantaneously anq reservoirs are not
always filled to capacity. Not all dams in the state have inundation zones mapped. There may be exceptional conditions where such a map was
not required by the OES; therefore, the zones are not delineated.
PUBLIC RECORD: Official dam inundation maps adopted by The State of California Office of Emergency Services rOES") pursuant to
Caiifornia Government Code S8589.5
o 0 0 VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE (VHFHSZ) 0 0 0
Determ i nation
Not in a very high fire hazard severity zone.
Discussion
VHFHSZs are defined by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) and local fire authorities in "Local Responsibility
Areas" where fire suppression is the responsibility of a local fire department. In these zones properties may have a higher risk for fire damage
and are required to have a "Class A" roof for new construction or replacement of existing roofs. In addition, th.e property must be maintained in
a fire-resistant condition through adequate vegetation clearance around and above the structure, spark screens on chimneys and stovepipes,
leaf removal from roofs, and other basic fire-safety practices within 30 to 100 feet of a structure or up to the property line, or at a greater
distance if required by state law, or local ordinance, rule, or regulation. Contact your fire department for a complete list of requirements and
exceptions.

Determination
Not in a state responsibility area.
Discussion
A wild land area where the CDF's fire protection services are responsible for suppressing fires is called a "State Responsibility Area" (SRA).
These are generally rural areas where a significant wild land fire potential exists. Uniess the county has assumed the fire suppression
responsibility or has an agreement with a local fire agency, property owners in an SRA are responsible for organizing structural fire protection
services. Such information is not available on maps; therefore, it can't be provided here. Property owners in an SRA are required to maintain
adequate vegetation clearance around and above the structure. spark screens on chimneys and stovepipes, and other basic fire-safety
practices. Contact your fire department for a complete list of requirements and exceptions.
PUBLIC RECORD: Official maps issued by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) pursuant to California Public
Resources Code S 4125.
o 0 0 EARTHQUAKE FAULT ZONE 0 0 0
Determination
Not in an earthquake fault zone designated pursuant to the Alquist-Priolo Act.
Discussion
Earthquake Fault Zones are delineated and adopted by California as part of the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone Act of 1972. Property in
an Earthquake Fault Zone does not necessarily have a fault trace existing on the site. Earthquake Fault Zones are areas or bands delineated
on both sides of known active earthquake faults. In some places, the zones are more than one-quarter of a mile wide. The potential for "fault
rupture" damage (ground cracking along the fault trace) is relatively high only if a structure is located directly on a fault trace. If a structure is not
on a fault trace, shaking will be the primary effect of an earthquake. During a major earthquake, shaking will be strong in the vicinity of the fault
and may be strong at some distance from the fault depending on soil and bedrock conditions. It is generally accepted that properiy constructed
wood-frame houses are resistant to shaking damage.
PUBLIC RECORD: Official earthquake fault zone or special study zone maps approved by the State Geologist and issued by the California
Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey pursuant to California Public Resources Code S2622.
o 0 0 SEISMIC HAZARD MAPPING ACT ZONE 0 0 0
Determination
Not in an area of potential liquefaction designated pursuant to the Seismic Hazard Mapping Act. Not in an area of
earthquake-induced landsliding designated pursuant to the Seismic Hazard Mapping Act.
Discussion
Seismic Hazard Zone maps delineate areas subject to earthquake hazard"s. The hazards currently addressed are iiquefaction and earthquake
induced landslides.
Liquefaction Hazard Zones are areas where there is a potential for, or an historic occurrence of liquefaction. Liquefaction is a rare soil
phenomenon that can occur when loose, water saturated, fine-grained sands, and silty sands that lie within 50 feet of the ground surface, are
shaken in a significant earthquake. The soil temporarily becomes liquid-like and structures may settle unevenly.
Earthquake-Induced Landslide Hazard Zones are areas where there has been a recent landslide, or where the local slope, geologicai.
geotechnical, and ground moisture conditions indicate a potential for landslides as a resuit of earthquake shaking.
PUBLIC RECORD: Official earthquake fault zone or special study zone maps approved by the State Geologist and issued by the California
Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey pursuant to California Public Resources Code S2696.

SECTION 2
COUNTY AND CITY NATURAL HAZARD DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
The following natural hazard disclosures are provided to give local-level Seismic Safety information for the subject property.
This information may be used by the local jurisdiction relative to making decisions regarding new development or additional
construction. The agencies and jurisdictions who develop the official maps do not necessarily define or delineate hazards in the
same way. A site can be in a hazard zone from one source and not in a hazard zone from another source.
Santa Clara County GeoloQic and Seismic Zone Determination
Based on the officially adopted county-level Seismic Safety Element natural hazard maps, the subject property is:
This property is IN a county-designated landslide hazard zone, not in a county-designated compressible soils hazard
zone, not in a county-designated dike failure flooding hazard zone, not in a county-designated liquefaction hazard
zone, within a county-designated fault rupture hazard zone.
NOTE: If the site is in a locally mapped hazard zone or if information of concern exists in another source, the property may
require a geologic study prior to any new or additional construction. The disclosures above are material facts and should
prudently be disclosed to buyers in addition to the Statutory Natural Hazard Disclosures. Additional sources of information
which are n.ot officially adopted, may be available at the local jurisdiction that are not reported here.
SANTA CLARA COUNTY GEOLOGIC ZONES DISCUSSION
The County of Santa Clara, separately from the State and Federal governments, has officially produced or adopted maps to delineate potential
geologic and seismic hazards that are recognized at the local level. Those hazard maps are incorporated by reference into the Santa Clara
County Code, adopted by the County Board of Supervisors in 2002. The locai-Ievel disclosure in this report was based on the following official
County map(s) available in digital vector format: "County Geologic Hazard Zones Map," prepared by Santa Clara County Department of
Planning (disclosure required by County Ordinance Sec C12-624).
The hazard zones delineated on the above map source. in addition to the statutorily-required State and Federal hazard maps, are typically
considered by the County when approving land use and development permit applications under County jurisdiction. Additional maps exist in the
General Plan and other maps, including updated versions of the above-referenced map(s), may exist in the files of specific County
departments. Those additional map sources were not consulted for this disclosure because parcel-level details cannot be resolved at the scale
and quality of the available official map. or the map is inappropriate for application to this report, or the map has not yet been officially adopted
and incorporated into the County's Safety Element As mapping technology advances, this company later may determine that some additional
map sources become usable for parcel-level disclosure. The mapped County hazard zones represent evaiuations of generalized hazard
information. Any specific site within a mapped zone could be at less or more relative risk than is indicated by the zone designation. If a site-
specific evaluation is desired. this company recommends that a geotechnical consultant be retained to study the site and issue a report.
The official County-level information addresses the potential geologic and seismic hazards itemized below:
FAULT
The County identifies Fault Rupture Hazard Zones as both "active" and "potentially active" fault zones as well as other faulting-related geologic
features. Active faults are known to have experienced fault rupture in the last 11,000 years and are usually seismically active (produce
earthquakes periodically). Potentially active faults are not seismically active, and it cannot be definitely proven that these faults have moved in
the last 11.000 years. Potentially active faults far outnumber active faults in Santa Clara County. Because potentially active faults are included
in the zone description. all Fault Rupture Hazard Zone are not necessarily equal to an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone which only includes
active faults.
LANDSLIDE
Landslide Hazard Zones include areas with a high potential for earthquake-induced landslides. It does not necessarily mean that landslides
exist on the property or that landsliding is imminent or probable in the area. It does mean that the designated area has a greater chance of
landsliding than properties in flat-lying areas. The County has also included a United States Geological Survey Report and State of California
Geologic Survey Earthquake-Induced Landslide Hazard Zones into the zone description. These include areas where there has been a recent
landslide, or where locai slope, geological, geotechnical, and ground moisture conditions indicate a potential for landslides as a result of
earthquake shaking.

Liquefaction Hazard Zones include areas the State of California Geological Survey has defined as areas where there is a potential for. or an
historical occurrence of liquefaction. Liquefaction is a rare soil phenomenon that can occur when loose, water saturated, fine-grained sands and
silty sands that lie within 50 feet of the ground surface are shaken in a significant earthquake. The soil temporarily becomes liquid-like and
structures may settle unevenly. The County has also included zones of liquefaction susceptibility from a United States Geological Survey
Report of soil deposits that may be prone to liquefaction.
Property Address: N/A SAN JUAN Rd ,
CUPERTINO, Santa Clara County, CA
COMPRESSIBLE SOILS
Compressible Soils Zones include areas where there is a chance that the ground will settle locally during severe shaking due to the peaty-type
soils in these area compressing. Riskof injury is relatively low in these areas as a result of settlement alone.
DIKE FAILURE
Dike Failure Fiooding Zones include areas where there is a significant chance of flooding following a large earthquake if the perimeter dike
systems of the bay fail.

CITY OF CUPERTINO GEOLOGIC ZONES DISCUSSION
The City of Cupertino. separately from the County, State and Federal governments, has officially produced or adopted maps to delineate twelve
geologic or seismic hazard areas. These areas include potential hazards such as faults, liquefaction. landslides, and flood inundation that are
recognized at the local level. All areas of Cupertino have a moderate to locally severe ground shaking potential if a significant earthquake
occurs on the San Andreas, Berrocal, or Monte Vista Faults, this hazard mapping is incorporated into the Safety Element of the General Plan.
adopted by the Cupertino City Council in 1993. The local-level disclosure in this report was based on the following official local map(s):
"General Plan Study: Geologic and Seismic Hazard Map" prepared by William Cotton & Associates for the City of Cupertino Planning
Department (incorporated by reference into the General Plan as Figure 6-D "Seismic and geologic Hazards").
The hazard zones delineated on the above map source, in addition to the statutorily-required State and Federal hazard maps, are typically
considered by the City when approving land use and development permit applications under City jurisdiction. Additional maps exist in the
General Plan and other maps, including updated versions of the above-referenced map(s), may exist in the files of specific municipal
departments. Those additional map sources .were not consulted for this disclosure because parcel-level details cannot be resolved at the scale
and quality of the available official map, or the map is inappropriate for application to this report. or the map has not yet been officially adopted
and incorporated into the City's Safety Element. As mapping technology advances, this company later may determine that some additional map
sources become usable for parcel-level disclosure. The mapped City hazard zones may have been compiled from multiple sources of differing
quality and, In some instances. have been generalized and simplified. No special field studies were conducted to verify the information for this
subject property. Any specific site within a mapped zone could be at less or more relative risk than is indicated by the zone designation. If a
site-specific evaluation is desired, this company recommends that a geotechnical consultant be retained to study the site and issue a report.
The risk of exposure can be reduced through appropriate land-use planning, development engineering, and building construction practices.
City V5. County Information: County and city-level information sources are developed independently of each other and do not necessarily
define or delineate hazards in the same way. A site can be in a geologic hazard zone according to the city and not in the corresponding zone
according to the county and vice versa. Cities and counties may use other information in addition to their General Plan sources to determine if
hazards exist at a site or which sites may require geologic studies prior to new or additional construction. Such information could be a material
fact to be disclosed in addition to General Plan information. Such potential sources are not reviewed in this report. To investigate other sources
of natural hazard information that may be available and used at the local level, contact the Engineering, Planning or Buiiding Departments in
the subject City and County.
The official City-level information addresses the potential natural hazards itemized below:
GEOLOGIC HAZARD ZONES
Valley Floor Terrain Hazard Zone includes the nearly flat. urbanized valley floor. the steep walls of Stevens Creek Canyon. the low rolling
foothills area near the St. Joseph Seminary and Monte Vista substation.
. VF-1, 2, & 3: Areas with a low to moderate liquefaction potentiai and areas of potential flood inundation along Calabazas Creek.
. VF-4: Valley floor areas of moderate to high potential for lateral spreading and ground lurching, low moderate to high potential for
lateral spreading and ground lurching, and low to moderate liquefaction potential. .
VF-5: Areas along steep Stevens Creek canyon walls with moderate to high landslide potential, to moderate liquefaction potential,
and moderate to high potentiai for flood inundation along Stevens and Calabazas Creeks.
VF-6: Areas within 300 feet east of the Monte Vista Fault with a moderate potential for ground rupture (cracking along a fault trace).
Foothill Terrain Hazard Zone includes the gentle to steep, partially urbanized hillsides located west of Valley Floor areas. east of Montebello
Ridge.
. F.1 refers to foothill areas with moderate to high landslide potential if slopes are greater than 15%.
F-2 refers to foothill areas with moderate to high landslide potential if siopes are greater than 15%, and moderate potential for ground
rupture (cracking along a fault trace) because properties in this zone are approximately 600 to 2000 feet west of the Monte Vista
Fault.
F-3 refers to foothill areas with moderate to high landslide potential if slopes are greater than 15%, and moderate potential for ground
rupture (cracking along a fault trace) because properties in this zone are within about 600 feet west of the Monte Vista Fault.
Mountain Terrain Hazard Zone includes moderate to steep hill-slide areas of Montebello Ridge and Santa Cruz Mountains.
~ M-1 refers to mountain areas with moderate to high landslide potential if slopes are greater than 15%.
M-2 refers to mountain areas with a moderate to high landslide potential if slopes are greater than 15%. M-2 areas have a moderate

SECTION 3
FORMER MILITARY ORDNANCE SITE DISCLOSURE
Determination
The subject property is NOT WITHIN one mile of a Formerly Used Defense (FUD) site containing military ordnance.
Discussion
FUD sites can include sites with cQmmon industrial waste (such as fuels), ordnance or other warfare materiel, unsafe structures to
be demolished, or debris for removal. NOTE: most FUDS sites do not contain unexploded ordnance. California Civil Code 1102
requires disclosure of those sites containing unexploded ordnance. "Military ordnance" is any kind of munition, explosive
device/material or chemical agent used in military weapons. Unexploded ordnance are munitions that did not detonate. Only those
FUD sites that the USACE has identified to contain Military Ordnance or have mitigation projects planned for them are disclosed
in this report. Additional sites may be added as military installations are released under the Base Realignment and Closure
(BRAC) Act. Active military sites are NOT included on the FUDS list.
COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISCLOSURE
Determination
Based on publicly-available parcel zoning records only:
The property IS within one-mile of a property that is zoned for industrial or commercial use.
Discussion
The seller of real property who has actual knowledge that the property is affected by or zoned to allow commercial or industrial
use described in Section 731 a of the Code of Civil Procedure shall give written notice of that knowledge to purchasers as soon as
practicable before transfer of title (California Civil Code Section 1102.17). The Code of Civil Procedure Section 731a defines
industrial use as areas in which a city and/or county has established zones or districts under authority of law wherein certain
manufacturing or commercial or airport uses are expressly permitted. The "Zoning Disclosure" made in this report DOES NOT
purport to determine whether the subject property is or is not affected bv a commercial or industrial zone. As stated above, that
determination is based solely upon ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE of the seller of the subject property.
In an effort to help determine areas where this may be applicable, this disclosure identifies if a property exists within one mile of
the seller's property that is zoned to allow for commercial or industrial use. Very commonly, a home will have in its vicinity one or
more properties that are zoned for commercial or industrial use such as restaurants, gasoline stations, convenience stores, golf
courses, country club etc.

AIRPORT INFLUENCE AREA DISCLOSURE
DE~term i nation
Based on certain mapped Airport Influence Areas determined by a County Airport Land Use Commission, the following determination can be made:
The property is NOT IN an officially-designated Airport Influence Area (AlA) and is NOT WITHIN two (2) statute miles of an
airport for which no AlA has been officially designated.
]Discussion
Certain airports are not disclosed in this report. JCP has made a good faith effort to identify the airports covered under Section 1102.6a.
Sources consulted include officiallan.d use maps and/or digital data made available by a governing ALUC or other designated government body.
Most facilities for which an Airport Influence Area has been designated are included on the "California Airports List" maintained by the California
Department of Transportation's Division of Aeronautics. Not disclosed in this report are public use airports that are not in the "California Airports
List", airports that are physically located outside California, heliports and seaplane bases that do not have regularly scheduled commercial service.
and private airports or military air facilities unless specifically identified in the "Caiifornia Airports List". If the seller has actual knowledge of an
airport in the vicinity of the subject property that is not disclosed in this report, and that is material to the transaction, the seller should
disclose this actual knowledge in writing to the buyer.
JCP uses official land use maps and/or digitai.data made available by governing ALUC or other designated govemment body. Most facilities for
which an Airport Influence Area has been designated are included on the "California Airports List" maintained by the California Department of
Transportation's Division of Aeronautics. The inclusion of military and private airports varies by County. and heliports and seaplane bases are not
induded, therefore, airports in these categories mayor may not be included in this disclosure.
NOTE: Proximity to an airport does not necessarily mean that the property is exposed to significant aviation noise levels. Alternatively, there may
be properties exposed to aviation noise that are greater than two miles from an airport. Factors that affect the level of aviation noise include
weather, aircraft type and size, frequency of aircraft operations, airport layout. flight patterns or nighttime operations. Buyer should be aware that
aviation noise levels can vary seasonally or change if airport usage changes.
AIRPORT NOISE DISCLOSURE
Determination
Based on certain 65 decibel (dB) Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) contour maps produced under the Federal Aviation Administration's.
Airport Noise Compatibility Planning Program Part 150, the following determination has been made:
The property IS NOT within a delineated 65 dB CNEL or greater aviation noise zone.
Discussion
The seller(s) of real property who has (have) actual knowledge that the property in the transaction is affected by airport use must give written
notice of that knowledge, as soon as practicable, before transfer of title. (Caiifornia Civil Code, Section 1102.17).
N'ot all airports have produced noise exposure maps. A property may be near or at some distance from an airport and not be within a
d4~lineated noise exposure area, but still experience aviation noise. Unless 65dB CNEL contour maps are published, helipads and military
sites are not included in this section of the report.
NOTE: The Airport Noise Compatibility Planning Program is voluntary. Not all airports have elected to participate. Not all property in the vicinity of
an airport is exposed to 65dB CNEL or greater average aviation noise levels. Conversely a property may be at some dista[lce from an airport and
still experience aviation noise. JCP obtains updated maps once yearly. Purchasers should be aware that aviation noise levels can vary seasonally
or change if airport usage changes after a map is published or after JCP receives the updated maps within the schedule set by JCP. JCP uses the
most seasonally conservative noise exposures provided. Federal funding may be available to help airports implement noise reduction programs.
Such programs vary and might include purchasing properties, rezoning, and insulating homes for sound within 65dB areas delineated on CNEL
maps. Airport owners have also cooperated by imposing airport use restrictions that include curfews. modifying flight paths, and aircraft limitations.

REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER DATABASE DISCLOSURE
("MEGAN'S LAW")
Notice: Pursuant to Section 290.46 of the Penal Code, information about specified registered sex offenders is made available to the
public via an Internet Web site maintained by the Department of Justice at www.meganslaw.ca.gov. Depending on an offender's
criminal history, this information will include either the address at which the offender resides or the community of residence and
ZIP Code in which he or she resides.
California law (AS 488), signed by the Governor on September 24, 2004, provides the public with Internet access to detailed information on
registered sex offenders. The Sex Offender Tracking Program of the California Department of Justice (DOJ) maintains the database of the
locations of persons required to register pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 290.46 of the Penal Code. The online database is
updated with data provided by local sheriff and police agencies on an ongoing basis. It presents offender information in 13 languages; may be
searched by a sex offender's specific name, zip code. or city/county; provides access to detailed personal profile information on each registrant;
and inciudes a map of your neighborhood.

Explanation and How to Obtain Information
For over 50 years, California has required certain sex offenders to register with their local law enforcement agencies. However, information on
the whereabouts of the sex offenders was not available to the public until implementation of the Child Molester Identification Line in July 1995.
The available information was expanded by California's "Megan's Law" in 1996 (Chapter 908, Stats. of 1996). Megan's Law provides certain
information on the whereabouts of "serious" and "high-risk" sex offenders. The law specifically prohibits using the information to harass or commit
any crime against the offender. The information on a registered sex offender includes: name and known aliases; age and sex; physical
description, including scars, marks and tattoos; photograph. if available; crimes resulting in registration; county of residence; and zip code (from
last registration). Accessing the online database requires your agreement with the DOJ's terms of use web page.

SAN FRANCISCO SAY CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION DISCLOSURE
(Applicable Only in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa,
San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties)
Determination
Based on certain mapped coastal zones determined by the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission
(BCDC), the following determinatfon can be made:
The property is NOT IN the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, as
defined in Section 66620 of the Government Code.
NOTE: The official BCDC jurisdictional maps issued by the BCDC are electronic documents generally of low resolution and poor
quality. As defined by the BCDC, its jurisdiction spans a complexity of ever-changing geographic and topographic environments
including: (1) tidal areas of San Francisco Bay; (2) a 100-foot-wide shoreline band that extends inland from the upper edge of the
BCDC's San Francisco Bay jurisdiction; (3) certain named waterways that empty into San Francisco Bay; (4) salt ponds adjacent
to the Bay; and (5) certain managed wetlands as well as the Suisun Marsh. The BCDC-issued maps are not adequate for
determining confidently the proximity of the BCDC-defined jurisdictional boundaries to nearby parcels. Therefore, all parties in
the transaction are advised that there is some uncertainty inherent in the "NOT IN" determination made above.
Discussion
As of July 1, 2005, Civil Code Section 1103.4 mandates disclosure to buyers of certain real estate if that property is located
within the jurisdictional boundaries of the BCDC. Notice is required to prevent unknowing violations of the law by new owners
who were unaware that certain activities on the real property are subject to the BCDC's permit requirements.
The BCDC has issued maps for some parts of its jurisdiction, including the San Francisco Bay Plan maps (California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Section 10121) and the Suisun Marsh Plan maps (Nejedly-Bagley-Z'berg Suisun Marsh Preservation Act of
1974). Official maps have not been issued for other parts of the BCDC jurisdiction (McAteer-Petris Act areas) because the Bay is
a highly dynamic environment and the shoreline changes over time (in part because the sea level also changes over time). In
those areas where official BCDC maps are not available or along the edges of the BCDC's mapped jurisdiction, to meet the
disclosure requirements, this report will indicate that the property "could be within" the BCDC's jurisdiction and that a location-
specific jurisdictional determination should be made by consulting the BCDC. This determination of "could be within" the BCDC's
jurisdiction was recommended by the BCDC in that certain Memo entitled "Guidance on Determining Commission Jurisdiction
Pursuant to Senate Bill 1568" issued in February 2005 and posted on the BCDC website.

California Energy Commission Duct Sealing & Testing Requirement
Based on certain climate zone maps issued by the California Energy Commission, the following determination is
made:
Determination: The Property is NOT IN a designated climate zone in which properties are usually subject to
duct sealing and testing requirements set forth by the California Energy Commission.
Discussion:
According to the California Energy Commission ("CEC") most California homes have improperly sealed central air
conditioning and heating system ducts such that approximately 30 percent of the conditioned air actually leaks
outside the home.
Effective October 1, 2005, in order to combat this waste of energy and money, the CEC set forth new duct sealing
and testing requirements in Title 24 of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Title 24 requires that, in specific
climate zones as designated by the CEC, when a central air conditioner or furnace is installed or replaced,
homeowners must have ducts tested for leaks. Ducts found to leak more than 15 percent or more must be repaired.
Once a contractor tests and fixes these ducts, you must have an approved third-party verifier determine that the
ducts have been properly sealed. The CEC cautions homeowners that a contractor who fails to obtain a required
building permit and fails to test and repair your ducts "is violating the law and exposing you to additional costs and
liability." If you do not obtain a permit, you may be required to bring your home into compliance with code
requirements for that work and may incur additional penalties and fines that have to be paid prior to selling your
home. Remember that you have a duty to disclose whether you obtained required permits for work performed to
prospective buyers and appraisers.
Local governments may mandate more stringent requirements; however, please be advised that duct sealing and
associated testing is generally not required: . .
. if homes are located in specific coastal climates;
. when systems have less than 40 feet of ductwork in unconditioned spaces such as attics, garages,
crawlspaces, basements, or outside the building; or
. when ducts are constructed, insulated, or sealed with asbestos.
Please note there are specific alternatives that allow high efficiency equipment and added .duct insulation to be
installed instead of fixing duct leaks. Please also be advised that there are separate regulations which govern duct
insulation levels required by climate zone and HVAC systellJ.
For more information on these requirements, please contact the California Energy Commission or visit the official
CEC "2005 HVAC Change-Out Information" portal at http://www.enerQy.ca.Qov/title24/chanqeout/

ADVISORIES
METHAMPHETAMINE CONTAMINATED PROPERTY DISCLOSURE ADVISORY
According to the "Methamphetamine Contaminated Property Cleanup Act of 2005" a property owner must disclose in writing to
a prospective buyer if local health officials have issued an order prohibiting the use or occupancy of a property contaminated
by meth lab activity. The owner must also give a copy of the pending order to the buyer to acknowledge receipt in writing.
Failure to comply with these requirements may subject an owner to, among other things, a civil penalty up to $5,000. Aside
from disclosure requirements, this new law also sets forth procedures for local authorities to deal with meth-contaminated
properties, including the filing of a lien against a property until the owner cleans up the contamination or pays for the cleanup
costs.
MOLD ADVISORY
The Buyer is hereby advised that naturally occurring molds may exist both inside and outside of any home and may not be
visible to casual inspection. Persons exposed to extensive mold levels can become sensitized and develop allergies to the
mold or other health problems. Extensive mold growth can damage a structure and its contents. All prospective purchasers of
residential and commercial property are advised to thoroughly inspect the subject property for mold. Be sure to inspect the
property inside and out for sources of excess moisture, current water leaks and evidence of past water damage.
As part of a buyer's physical inspection of the condition of a property, the buyer may consider engaging an appropriate and
qualified professional to inspect and test for the presence of harmful molds and to advise the buyer of any potential risk and
options available. This advisory is not a disclosure of whether harmful mold conditions exist at a property or not. JCP has not
performed testinq or inspections of any kind. Any use of this form is acknowledgement and acceptance that JCP does not
disclose, warrant or indemnify mold conditions at a property in any way and is not responsible in any way for mold conditions
that may exist. Information is available from the California Department of Health Services Indoor Air Quality Section fact sheet
entitled, "Mold in My Home: What Do I Do?" The fact sheet is available at www.cal-iaq.org or by calling (510) 540-2476.
The Toxic Mold Protection Act of 2001 requires that information be developed regarding the potential issues surrounding
naturally occurring molds within a home. Information was written by environmental authorities for inclusion in the
Environmental Hazards: A Guide for Homeowners, Buyers, Landlords and Tenants booklet developed by the California
Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Health Services. It is found in Chapter VI of that booklet, and includes
references to sources for additional information.
For local assistance, contact your county or city Department of Health, Housing, or Environmental Health.

APN: 342-17-025
Date: 04/18/2007
Report Number: 80751
RADON ADVISORY
For its Radon Advisory, JCP uses the updated assessment of radon exposure published in 1999 by the Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory (LBNL) and Columbia University, under support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
the National Science Foundation, and the US Department of Energy (published online at http://eetd.lbLgovIlEP/high-
radon/USgm.htm). Based on this recent assessment, JCP's radon advisory is as follows:
All of California's 58 counties have a predicted median annual-average living-area concentration of radon below 2.0
pC ilL (picocuries per liter of indoor air) -- which is well below the EPA's guideline level of 4 pCi/L and equivalent to
the lowest hazard zone (Zone 3) on the 1993 EPA Map of Radon Zones
The "median concentration" means that half of the homes in a county are expected to be below this value and half to be above
it. All houses contain some radon, and a few houses will contain much more than the median concentration. The only way to
accuratelv assess lonq-term exposure to radon in a specific house is throuqh lonq-term testinq (samplinq the indoor air for a
year or more). The EPA recommends that all homes be tested for radon. Columbia University's "Radon Project" website offers
help to homeowners in assessing the cost vs. benefit of testing a specific house for radon or modifying it for radon reduction
(see http://www.stat.columbia.edu/radon/):
NOTE: JCP does not use the EPA's 1993 map for advisory purposes because that map shows "short-term" radon exposure
averaged by county. It was based on ';screening measurements" that were intentionally designed to sample the worst-case
conditions for indoor air in US homes--using spot checks (sampling for just a few days), in the poorest air quality (with sealed
doors and \('Iindows), at the worst time of the year (winter), in the worst part of the house (the basement, if one was available).
These short-term, winter, basement measurements are both biased and variable compared to long-term radon concentrations
(averaged over a year) in the living area of a house. Long-term concentrations are a more accurate way to judge the long-term
health risk from radon. For the above reasons, the EPA expressly disclaims the use of its 1993 map for determining whether
any house should be tested for radon, and authorizes no other use of its map for property-specific purposes. For additional
information about EPA guidelines and radon testing, see "Chapter VII--Radon", in the California Department of Real Estate's
Residential Environmental Hazards: A Guide for Homeowners, Homebuyers, Landlords and Tenants.

Endangered Species Act Advisory
The Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 ("ESA"), as amended, requires that plant and animal species identified and
classified ("listed") by the Federal government as "threatened" or "endangered" be protected under U.S. law. Areas of habitat
considered essential to the conservation of a listed species may be designated as "critical habitat" and may require special
management considerations or protection. All threatened and endangered species -- even if critical habitat is not designated for
them -- are equally afforded the full range of protections available under the ESA.
In California alone, over 300 species of plants and animals have been designated under the ESA as threatened or endangered,
and over 80 species have critical habitats designated for them. Most California counties are host to a dozen or more protected
species and, in many cases. 10 or more species have desiqnated critical habitats within a county.
ADVISORY
An awareness of threatened and endangered species and/or critical habitats is not reasonably expected to be within the actual
knowledge of a seller.
No Federal rule, California statute, Department of Real Estate regulation, or other law requires a seller or seller's agent to disclose
threatened or endangered species or critical habitats, or investigate their possible existence, on real property. Therefore, Buyer is
advised that, prior to purchasing a vacant land parcel or other real property, Buyer should consider the need to investigate the
existence of threatened or endangered species, or designated critical habitats, on or in the vicinity of the parcel, which could affect
the use of the property or the success of any proposed (re )development.
For more information
Complete and current information about the threatened and endangered species in California that are Federally listed in each
county -- including all critical habitats designated there -- is available on the website of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the
Federal authority which has enforcement responsibility for the ESA.

Any use of this report is an acknowledgement of and an agreement to abide by the terms stated in this section. For the Natural Hazard
Disclosures. JCP Property Disclosure (JCP) examines only the following maps: (a) NFIP Flood Insurance Rate Maps, (b) California Office of
Emergency Services Dam Failure inundation- maps. (c) Real Estate: disclosure (CDF) fire maps. (d) Seismic Hazards Mapping Act maps, (e)
geologic and seismic hazard maps adopted by the county as part of its General Plan's Safety Element, (f) geologic and seismic hazard maps
adopted by the city as a part of its General Plan's Safety Element, (g) LOMR's or LOMA's (made available to us), for location of the above
property as identified by the seller or seller's agent. JCP relies on these official sources for the information in this report and does not produce.
maintain or verify the information. Our services include, where appropriate. use of the assessors rolls. cadastral-type maps, photographic
enlargements of maps and various cartographic techniques to locate the site on the appropriate map. The determination is made as accurateiy as
reasonably possible using these said maps. For purposes of defining property lines, the assessor's parcel number and parcel maps are used. Any
errors in the assessor's rolls may affect the determination procedures.
Decisions by jurisdictions relative to required studies, reports, etc. may be made using the same information sources used in the disclosures in
this report, as well as information in their files and/or local ordinances and procedures. The disclosure information in this report is not a substitute
for a geologic or engineering study, nor can it be construed that a city or county will not require such studies. No visual examination of the subject
site was performed nor was a study of any jurisdiction's files or other sources made to determine the existence of any hazard which may exist on
the site. This report is for the purpose of certain map-based real estate transaction disclosures only and is not a substitute for the broker/agent
property inspection.
Our determination for Mello-Roos Special Tax and 1915 Special Assessment Districts was made using a proprietary third-party database of
Special Tax and Assessment Districts (STAD) that have issued bonds as the method to pay for facilities. Only STAD's which levied a tax against
the subject property in the previous tax year are disclosed. STAD information may not be available if the property is in foreclosure for delinquent or
non-payment of a Speciai Tax or Assessment. JCP cannot be held responsible for not reporting these cases. The databases are deemed to be
accurate based on information supplied by bond issuers. Under no circumstances will JCP Property Disclosure be responsible for errors in the
data supplied by bond issuers and suppliers of the tax databases. Information is up-dated on a yearly basis as soon as possible after updated
information is released.
No study of the assessor's or jurisdiction's files was made to determine the presence of any other tax or assessment which may exist for the
property. Other types of "special assessments" likely exist that are not Mello-Roos or 1915 Bond Act Assessments. This JCP report is for
disclosure only and is not intended to provide any type of tax advice. JCP suggests that if any party to this transaction has any concerns or
questions regarding Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts, or 1915 Special Assessment Districts they contact an appropriate expert.
Military ordnance disclosures were provided using Department of Defense data sources that JCP neither produces nor maintains. JCP cannot
accept liability for the accuracy of the information derived from these public data sources. No on-site inspection was performed.
JCP performs services for the real estate agent/broker and current owner. This report is for residentiai property only and is for the exclusive use of

THE PARTIES: The owner of the Residential Property on the Report Date ("Seller"), the buyer of the Residential Property
under contract of sale as of the Report Date ("Buyer") and their respective licensed real estate agents ("Agents") are the
parties to the Transaction to which this Report applies ("Parties"). JCP and the Parties are the parties to the contract that is
entered into by the purchase of this Report.
I PART 1: INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
I
WHAT THIS REPORT DISCLOSES: This Report discloses information from six governmental Databases as to the
existence of any underground storage tank or other specific types of potentially contaminated sites ("Sites") located within a
specified distance of the Residential Property. This Report is divided into five parts:
Part 1 . This INTRODUCTION and Summary
Part 2. SCHEDULES A AND B: Determination Summary and B, Potentially Contaminated Sites within specified
distances of the Residential Property
Part 3. EXPLANATION OF THE DATABASES from which this Report has been prepared
Part 4. Explanation of the METHODS used in creating this Report and Important Limitations of the Report
Part 5. BACKGROUND INFORMATION regarding environmental contamination
UNDERST ANDING THIS REPORT: To understand the information in the Report, including Schedules A and B, it is
important to read this entire Report.
THIS IS A DATABASE REPORT ONLY: This Report only provides information from the Databases identified in this Report. While
JCP has made good faith efforts to report from the Databases as accurately as possible, the quality, accuracy, and currency of
the information contained in these Databases can vary greatly. For more information regarding a specific Database,please
read the Part below entitled "Databases Used in this Report."
POINT SOURCE METHODOLOGY: This Report does not identify the precise areas actually contaminated by an environmental
hazard; rather, as a reasonable approximation, it identifies as "point sources" for contamination those Sites identified in a
specific Database. The point sources identified in this Report may not precisely reflect the location of the source of
contamination on the Site, nor will they describe the spread of any contamination from the source. If a box is checked "IN" on
Schedule A, JCP recommends further investigation of that Site.
NOT AN INSPECTION REPORT: This Report is not the same thing as a physical inspection report or a full environmental
assessment report. JCP has not physically inspected the Resident!al Property nor the Sites. This Report only summarizes the
information from governmental Databases using the Point Source methodology described above to determine the proximity of
Sites to the Residential Property.
LIABILITY PROTECTIONS: Upon consummation of the sale of the Residential Property to Buyer ("Sale Date"), the Parties

SCHEDULE B -INFORMATION REGARDING SITES IDENTIFIED IN SCHEDULE A
SITES LISTED ON A LEAKING UNDERGROUND FUEL TANK LIST
All of the sites in this section are listed on the State's Leaking Underground Fuel Tank Information System (LUFT) and have
been identified to have had a leaking fuel tank. Many of these sites have been cleaned up, and this is noted below if it is the
case. Leaking underground fuel tanks are the most common type of contamination. Fuel tank leaks are often less extensive
than other types of contamination releases and usually do not extend beyond the property on which the tank is located.
NOTE! The LUFT list identifies the type of resource (soil, groundwater, aquifer, etc.) that is or was affected by the
contamination. For some listed sites, the resource description may appear to contradict information cited for "cleanup activity
status". Please contact the State Water Resources Control Board for an explanation of any such discrepancy.

PART 3: EXPLANATION OF THE DATABASES USED IN THIS REPORT
This Report uses the following Databases as of the specified date for each Database ("Database Date"):
1. NATIONAL PRIORITIES SITES (NPL sites - commonly called "Superfund" or "CERCLlS" Sites) AS OF OCTOBER 1,2005.
The National Priorities List ("NPL") is a federal Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA") database which includes sites
where known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants have occurred. As a part
of the Superfund cleanup program, the NPL helps the USEPA determine which sites warrant further investigation to assess
human health and environmental risks, identify what remedial actions may be appropriate, notify the public of sites believed to
warrant further investigation, and serve notice to potentially responsible parties that the USEPA may initiate remedial action.
Some NPL sites encompass relatively large areas. Responsible Agency: USEPA
FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact the Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Hotline at (800) 424-9346 to speak with a
Superfund consultant to request information from the individual Site Fact Sheet. This help-line can also provide the telephone
number of the local Community Relations Coordinator for the Site in question and the location of the local information
repository for that Site. The USEPA's offici~llnternet website address is www.epa.qov/superfund/sites/npl/ca.htm.
2. Leaking Underground Fuel Tank Sites (LUFT) PER GEIMS/GEOTRACKER INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AS OF
OCTOBER 1, 2005.
Leaking underground storage tanks ("LUSTs") may be a significant source of soil and groundwater contamination. The State
Water Reso.urces Control Board maintains a database of LUSTs known as the Leaking Underground Storage Tank
Information System which was recently supplanted by the statewide GEIMS/GeoTracker information management system.
LUSTIS contains the locations of all reported LUSTs, as well as the contents and status of the LUSTs. Responsible Agency:
SWRCB
FOR MORE INFORMATION: For general questions, telephone the State Water Resources Control Board's Clean Water Desk in
Sacramento at (866) 480-1028. Information on specific sites is available at www.swrcb.ca.gov or visit their official Internet site
at www.qeotracker.waterboards.ca.Qov
3. California Integrated Waste Management Board's SWIS List AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2005.
Solid Waste Landfill Sites vary from state to state and may include active landfills, inactive landfills, incinerators, transfer
stations, recycling facilities, and other facilities where solid waste is treated or stored. The California Integrated Waste
Management Board ("CIWMB") tracks such sites via its SWIS database. SWIS contains information on facility type, regulatory
and operational status, type of wastes received, and local enforcement actions. Please note that these sites are simply
regulated facilities and are not classified as being "contaminated" by the Board. Responsible Agency: CIWMB
FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact the Board's "Solid Waste Information Center" at (916) 341 6320 and ask for the Associate
Waste Management Specialist who should be able to answer some limited general questions. For more infor.mation, please
contact the CIWMB in Sacramento or visit www.ciwmb.CA.Gov/Swis/search.asP#DOWNLOAD on the Internet.
4. Spills, Leaks, Investigation and Cleanup list (SLlC) AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2005.
The SLlC Program oversees soil and water investigations, corrective actions, and assessments at sites with current or historic
unauthorized discharges and covers all types of pollutants (such as solvents, petroleum fuels, heavy metals, pesticides, etc.)
As of January 1,2005, all SLlC data is required to be submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board's Geotracker
database. Information on individual sites may be available online at www.qeotracker.waterboards.ca.qov . Please note that
according to the SWRCB, "data is undergoing data cleanup and may contain errors".

WANT MORE INFORMATION?
There is no single government agency that handles information for all contaminated sites. Multiple agencies are responsible
for organizing clean-up efforts at different types of sites. Each generally maintains files on the sites they oversee with
information on the type and extent of contamination, clean-up efforts etc. There is also the possibility that the file may have no
additional information. For general information, refer to the discussions in this report. If your question isn't answered there, call
us here at JCP. We will try and answer them for you.
In each site summary, there is the name and telephone number of the agency overseeing that site. Agencies are limited to
answering general questions. NOTE! Additional information on a site may be limited and the government agency you contact
will not venture opinions. .
How to Obtain Generalized Environmental Information
Brochures published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are a good source of general information. County health
departments may have a health and safety officer or a "haz-mat" (hazardous materials) specialist that can answer general
questions also. The telephone number for your local Department of Health should be listed in the telephone book.

PART 4: METHODS AND LIMITATIONS -- PLEASE READ!
I
As in all studies and reports, there are limitations in this Report. This Part will summarize (a) the methods used in creating this
Report, (b) the limitations with respect to the data and the government site lists ("Databases"), and (c) the responsibilities and
liabilities of JCP under this Report. Please read this Part carefully so you understand the limitations on this Report and JCP's
responsibilities.
A. LIMITATIONS ON DATABASE INFORMATION
JCP has accurately reported the information in the Databases as of the Database Dates. With respect to the Databases, it is
important to understand that
o The Databases may not be accurate, current, fully detailed, or complete.
o A parcel of real property may be affected by contamination or environmental hazards that have not been
identified on any of the Databases.
o A Database may not contain sufficient information to locate a particular parcel of property.
o Changes may have occurred in the Databases since the Database Date specified above.
o . There may be other governmental databases with relevant information which are not included in this Report.
B. JCP DOES NOT CONSTANTLY CHECK DATABASES FOR CHANGES
Each Database used in this Report is updated by the Responsible Agency at various intervals. Updates for a Database are
determined by the Responsible Agency and may be made at any time and without notice. JCP maintains an update schedule
and makes reasonable efforts to use updated information but it cannot feasibly do so on a constant basis, and the complexities
of obtaining and adapting the data into a usable format for preparing this Report necessitates some delay once the updated
information is obtained. For these reasons, JCP reports information as of the date when the Database was last updated by
JCP. That date is specified as the "Database Date" for each Database in Part 4.
C. LIMITATIONS ON How SITES ARE LOCATED AND REPORTED
Due to the way information is reported in the Databases, the Sites identified are "POINT SOURCES" ONLY which means that
the specific location of the Site is located based on the information in the Database and used as the beginning point for
measuring the distance to the Residential Property. This Report does NOT use "AREAS" of potential environmental
contamination, such as a contamination study area or a groundwater plume, even if the source of that study area or plume
derives from a Site. In other words, this Report identifies a single point as the approximate source point for an environmental
hazard identified on a Database, even if the hazard actually covers an expanded area.
In the Databases, the Sites are identified by their address. In this Report, the point location for a Site is based on that address,
not on the actual location of a source of contamination on the Property. As a result, the location of any Site set forth in this
Report may not be precisely the location of the source of contamination. Furthermore, some of the Databases may not have
the complete address information for a Site so it can not be located at all.
The Residential Property has been located by approximating its street address as a point. While JCP has attempted to locate
that point as accurately as possible, there may be some inaccuracy due to the shape of the property or the mapping
information upon which we have relied. Furthermore, since the Sites are located using a geographic information system, if the
address of the Residential Property provided to JCP is inaccurate, the information provided in this Report will not be accurate.
In cert.ain instances, Sites cannot be precisely located (or "geocoded") due to missing or inaccurate data in the Database.
However, based on information available in the Databases, these Sites are locatable within zip codes. These sites are
referred to as "Unlocated Sites" and reported in the Part, "Sites Missing Key Location Information." That Part reports such
Unlocated Sites that are in the zip codes that are within a one (1) mile radius Of the Residential Property. Unlocated Sites are
not necessarily within one mile of the Residential Property. They are identified to alert you to potential issues on which you
may desire to ~btain further information.

JCP does not perform a physical examination or any testing of the Residential Property or the Sites. This Report only provides
information derived from the Databases in accordance with the Methods and Limitations. This Report should not be
considered a substitute for an on-site environmental assessment. If additional information is desired, the Parties are
encouraged to investigate other sources and to consult an environmental expert.
E. ONLY THE PARTIES MAY RELY ON THIS REPORT
This Report is valid, the Parties may rely on the Report, and a contract is formed with JCP, only upon receipt by JCP of
payment of the full price of the Report.
This Report may be relied upon only by the Parties to the transaction for which it has been purchased. This Report cannot be
relied upon (a) by any persons other than the Seller, the Buyer and their Agents, (b) for any other real property, or (c) for any
future transactions involving the Residential Property. The price paid for the Report does not include any amounts for
protection of such other parties.
F. LIMITATIONS ON FIRST AMERICAN'S LIABILITY
Given the limited nature of this Report, and the fact that JCP is reporting, not assuming liability, JCP is not responsible for:
o Any inaccuracies or incompleteness of the information in the Databases.
o Inaccurate address information provided for the Residential Property.
o Any other information not contained in the specified Databases.
o Any information which would be disclosed by a physical inspection of the Residential Property:
o Any information known by one of the Parties.
o Any changes to the information in the Databases after the Database Date.
o The health hazards to humans or animals that may be associated with any of the substances that may exist at
the Sites or how they may affect the Residential Property.
o The costs of investigating or cleaning up any environmental hazards.
This Report is not an insurance policy and does not provide the same protections as an insurance policy. It does not
obligate First American to defend any Party against any claims, and JCP shall not have any duty to defend against any claims
pursuant to California Civil Code S 2778 or otherwise. The price of this Report has not been based upon any responsibility for
defense costs, nor for assumption of environmental risks. The premium for an insurance policy would be significantly greater
than the cost of this Report. The Parties acknowledge that claims for damages beyond actual losses can significantly increase
the costs of reports and make prompt resolution of claims more difficult. In order to induce JCP to provide this Report for the
price charged, and to help streamline the process of resolving any disputes between the Parties and JCP, the Buyer, Seller
and Agents agree that if there is a material error or omission in this Report:

I PART 5: BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I
The subject of hazardous waste can be an emotional and uncertain topic. You have taken an important step by obtaining this
report to help become informed on environmental issues. There are a number of important factors to consider when assessing
environmental issues. Risk is only one factor. Others include public values and perceptions, economic constraints, perceived
risk to health etc. Accurate and unbiased information is important. It provides a logical foundation for decisions that are often
emotionally based on "perceived" rather than on actual ris.k.
This section includes discussions on certain topics to help you understand this report. The subject of contamination is broad
and complex. These discussions are not intended to be an exhaustive study of environmental issues. In addition, many aspects
of hazardous substance clean up and control change as state-of-the-art practice and legislation changes. For these reasons,
the following information is of necessity generalized and may not apply to every site. This section is divided into the following:

WHAT ARE HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES?
Chemicals in our environment are a controversial subject. This is because their effects on human health are often not well
understood. Both the govemment and the public want clear standards that define when a substance is considered
"hazardous." Unfortunately, it is not always easy to determine such a clear standard. Precise instruments allow us to detect a
wide variety of substances even in very small concentrations. Sometimes these substances are only detectable in the parts
per billion (ppb) or parts per trillion (ppt) ranges. In these cases, the concentrations are at or near the limit of our ability to even
detect them.
If scientific study shows that a particular chemical is known or suspected to adversely affect our health, that substance could
become listed as an official hazardous substance. The list of what "is" and "is not" a hazardous substance changes. With
increased research, substances are added and, in some cases, removed.
The potential health implications make us question the presence of chemicals in our environment. It's important to understand
that any risk associated with a substance is dependent on both the concentration of the chemical and the length of exposure
time. Some scientists believe that a "threshold" level exists for many chemical concentrations below which there are no known
or anticipated adverse health effects. This allows standard concentration limits of some chemicals to be established. These
standards are called "Maximum Contaminant Levels" (MCL), and they are enforceable by the Environmental Protection
Agency. If these levels are exceeded, the substance must be cleaned-up until it is at or below the MCL.
The term "hazardous substance" is used in this report as synonymous with "hazardous waste" and "toxic substance: In
general, the terms refer to a material with potentially harmful affects. Once a particular substance is determined to be harmful,
it may become regulated by one or more environmental laws. When this happens, it is termed "listed." Once a chemical is
"listed," sites that have spilled or leaked the substance may be required to clean it up.
Hazardous Substances in Perspective
As is true with any hazardous substance, the mere presence of it is not a threat to human health. In order to pose a health risk,
that substance must come into physical contact with the body by eating, drinking, inhalation, or skin contact. It is the likelihood
of physical exposure to a substance that must be carefully examined to determine an acceptable level of risk. Information on
how contaminated sites can or cannot affect the property is vital in making decisions. Inaccurate perceptions could lead to
making misinformed decisions. Two lines of logic to consider when analyzing risk are:
. We make daily decisions based on familiar and acceptable levels of risk because we feel the benefits outweigh the
potential consequences. For instance, although we know driving freeways might be dangerous, we drive them anyway
because convenience and speed makes this risk acceptable. Many risks we undertake everyday aren't considered
hazardous simply because they are familiar.
. Everyday, we make decisions based on what is most important to accomplish first, second, etc. This is necessary because
if all problems were assigned equal importance, nothing could b"e accomplished. Risk is commonly considered similarly or,
in other words, as "relative risk." This consideration is based on deciding what "risk" has the worst or immediate adverse
consequence and then address that risk first.
Often, decisions are not based on scientific analysis and hard data, but on perceived risk and public opinion. In the
environmental arena, these two approaches go head to head. Public attention may be focused on certain environmental
hazards based on a dramatic and well-publicized environmental problem. Unfortunately, this may lead to a diminished concern
for other environmental issues that may pose more immediate concern. This line of thinking is not directed at undermining the
significance of large-scale contamination, but is meant to direct attention to the "big picture."

Report Number: 80751
Many studies indicate that things we do on a daily basis in our homes may expose us to a greater overall health risk than living
next door to virtually any contaminated site. It's hard to imagine that many of the items we take for granted in our homes have
higher concentrations of hazardous substances and expose us for greater amounts of time than just about anything we
encounter in normal outdoor activities. This is where familiarity with items such as "dry-cleaned" clothes, many air fresheners,
mothballs, paints or shoe polishes make the hazardous substances in such things acceptable. In certain cases, chemicals
that are strictly regulated in industry are not regulated in homes. An example is methylene chloride, which the EPA found in
about one-third of 1000 common household products in a 1987 study. Methylene chloride is regulated in factory emissions, but
not within homes.
Understanding a variety of issues is important for making informed decisions. Evaluating risks accurately in order to avoid
over- or under-reacting is a task best completed based on sound, accurate information.
GROUNDWATER
The water in lakes, rivers, and groundwater all together only account for about 0.6% of the total water on Earth. Of these,
groundwater is the most important fresh water supply. About half of the United States depends on groundwater for their
drinking water. An expanding population and economy has prompted a dramatic increase in the demand for water from
groundwater supplies. Many thought such water was immune from contamination. However, as more incidents of groundwater
pollution occur, public interest in protecting our groundwater has increased as well as legislative protection of this resource.
Although the technical aspects of groundwater and groundwater pollution are beyond the scope of this report. the basic
concepts are easy to understand and can help in evaluating other information in this report.
How Groundwater Reservoirs Form
In order to understand the basic principles of groundwater, it is necessary to appreciate the "hydrologic cycle." This is the
system by which nature circulates water. In short, water evaporates from the ocean and rises to form clouds. Water in the air
condenses and eventually falls back to the earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, hail etc. which then eventually flows back to
the ocean.
We depend on precipitation that falls on land to replenish our fresh water supply. Precipitation can fall directly into water
bodies, from run-off, or soak into the soil. Much is absorbed by plants or evaporates, but a portion seeps down into the
groundwater. Technically, "groundwater" is water located in water-saturated zones below the surface. Water located in
unsaturated zones is simply called "soil water."
Groundwater is primarily stored in "aquifers." Usually, aquifers consist of gravel, sand, clay or fractured rock. Groundwater is
stored in the pores and cavities of sediments or in rock fractures. It does not occur as an underground "ocean" or "river" except
perhaps in a rare cave-type environment. Aquifers may consist of one continuous "layer" or as several layers stacked-up like
pancakes. .
How Groundwater Moves
Groundwater is added to (recharged) by water seeping down through the ground and is released (discharged) when it
intersects a surface body of water such as a lake or stream or when it is pumped out. The surface area below the ground
where the soil or rock is water saturated is called the "water table." The water table is not fixed. It can move up and down as
water is removed froIT) or added to the aquifer.
In general, groundwater moves slowly. This is an important concept when considering groundwater contamination. The water
can move as slowly as a few inches per year in clays. However, if the aquifer consists of loose sand and gravel, the
groundwater can move hundreds of feet per year. Like water at the surface, groundwater moves with the gradient (Le.
downhill). However, groundwater can also move as a result of being under pressure. Pressurized water will move from high to
low pressure areas. This works under the same principle as any material under pressure, such as fluid in an aerosol can.

FORMATION OF PLUMES
The Transport of Chemicals into Groundwater
Chemicals that are spilled or released into soil may dissolve in any water that is present. In some cases, the chemicals may
be transported into groundwater by water slowly seeping downward. How fast this occurs and the details are complex, but
water generally moves downward. Lateral movement is generally not significant until water reaches the water table. The
contaminant concentration reaching groundwater is less than the concentration at the source because of dilution and
breakdown that occur along the way.
As contaminants are slowly transported downward, they can chemically interact with other things in the water or soil. This
can temporarily or permanently remove the contamination. Natural defense mechanisms such as biological degradation also
act to naturally mitigate contamination to varying extents by removing or altering the contaminants. For instance, some
bacteria that live naturally in soil and groundwater can metabolize many of the contaminants in gasoline.
Contaminants become "pollution" if they reach concentrations high enough to be judged harmful to humans or the
environment. Groundwater standards are set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state
agencies. Contamination can originate from a "point source" such as a leaking underground tank, or from a "non-point"
source such as infiltration from agriculture (i.e. pesticides and fertilizers) or urban run-off (i.e. road salt or trace metals left on
roads from tires and car emissions).
When contaminants enter the groundwater, they are slowly dispersed to form a diluted cloud or "plume." Chemical reactions
and biological breakdown can continue. Pumping, complex flow pattems, chemical and biological processes all affect the
travel,. size and shape of plumes. Some contaminants may be removed by a process called "adsorption." Adsorption is the
process by which a chemical adheres to grains in the soil. Although this does not remove the contaminant, it may immobilize
it and help prevent it from spreading.

The size and extent of plumes are determined using "monitoring wells." Such wells also help track clean-up efforts.
Information from monitoring wells and other sources are used to determine appropriate mitigation recommendations. Clean-
up methods can vary widely depending on local site conditions.

LEAKING UNDERGROUND FUEL TANKS
The most common type of contamination comes from leaking underground fuel tanks and piping systems. Underground
tanks are common throughout California as well as throughout the United States. These tanks are predominantly used for
storing fuel, although solvents used in high technology industries and other substances are stored in this manner also.
. Why underground tanks? Many years ago, jurisdictions developed regulations with regards to fuel tanks for the "esthetic"
protection of growing cities as well as providing important fire safety measures. For these reasons, the majority of fuel tanks
must be buried. Unfortunately, the state building codes that regulate underground fuel tank construction did not keep up with
changing technology. The result was that industry used traditional methods in building underground tanks and pipes.
Today, there are laws in place that ensure strict building codes are followed in new tank construction, as well as upgrades
for all substandard underground tanks.
When an underground tank leaks, the soil and/or groundwater can become contaminated. How much fuel actually gets into
the soil depends on how big the leak is and how long the leak continues. Experience shows that leaking fuel "seeps" into the
ground at a generally slow rate anq usually does not travel very far. "Seeping" fuel into the soil can be likened to wetting the
corner of a sponge. With only a small amount of water, only the corner gets wet and the rest of the sponge remains dry.
If a leaking underground fuel tank is discovered, the tank owner or responsible party must notify the appropriate Regional
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) or county-level agency and submit an "unauthorized release form". The responsible
party must also make every effort to stop the leak and empty the tank if necessary. The RWQCB or county-level agency will
then undertake the lead in clean-up efforts, with the tank owner or responsible party reporting directly to them. Until
investigation and cleanup are complete, the tank owner or responsible party must submit reports detailing cleanup efforts to
the lead agency at least every three months. If the investigation fails to confirm that a leak has actually occurred, no further
corrective action will be required. For those sites that do require corrective action, the cleanup process could take a few
months to many years, depending on the severity of the leak.
Additional information may be available through the Public Safety Officer or Hazardous Materials Specialist in your city.
They are generally located in the Fire Department or Public Works Department.
WHAT IS A "SUPERFUND" SITE?
"Superfund" is a common term for a piece of legislation called the "Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act", which was enacted by Congress on December 11,1980, and is enforced by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This legislation provides funding for clean up at the worst hazardous waste
sites in the United States. Because the moneys involved in clean up are large, this federal statute was dubbed "Superfund."
The purpose of Superfund is to clean up or mitigate hazardous materials that pose an immediate and substantial danger to
the public or the environment. This could be a chemical "spill" thElt requires immediate response or a site that requires long-
term clean-up action. The chemicals found at Superfund sites can vary but some have included familiar contaminants such
as arsenic, lead and mercury. Other lesser known contaminants include toluene, pentachlorophenol and vinyl chloride.
This Act also holds polluters liable for clean-up expenses as well as forces responsible parties to take clean-up actions.
How does a site get on the Superfund list? Proposed sites are brought to the EPA's attention in several ways. It could come
from notification by the owner, complaints by citizens, identification by a state or local jurisdiction, or by special EPA
investigations. A site is then placed on the Superfund, or "National Priorities List" (NPL) once the EPA determines that it
represents a long-term threat to public health or the environment. The EPA makes this determination by evaluating such
things as the likelihood that a site has released or has the potential to release hazardous substances into the environment,
the characteristics of the waste (e.g. toxicity and waste quantity), and the number of people affected by the release.
The government believes that "Superfund" funding is warranted if the site poses a significant and immediate health concern.
Even if federal funding is not provided, the site may require action under other statutes.

DRINKING WATER: TAP VS. PRIVATE WELL
Being in proximity to a contaminated site occasionally raises concern regarding the quality of the drinking water and whether
or not the contamination is present in that water. One important question to keep in mind is "where does the drinking water
come from... a municipal water system or a private well?" The answer to this question will help to resolve the issue of
contamination.
In general, homes in urban areas are typically hooked up to a municipal water system. The water from this type of system is
commonly referred to as "tap water". Municipal water suppliers are required to meet stringent drinking water standards set
forth by the US EPA. These drinking water suppliers provide reports, sometimes called consumer confidence reports, which
outline where the water comes from and what substances are in it. The municipal water supplier should be able to provide
these reports upon request.
On the other hand, if a home is not hooked up to a municipal water source but instead is using a private well on the
property, then the US EPA regulations do not apply. The homeowner is responsible for the quality and safety of the drinking
water. Keep in mind that being in proximity to a contaminated site does not necessarily mean the well will be contaminated.
There is always the possibility that the contamination could be traveling in the opposite direction to where the private well is
located, in which case the well water would remain uncontaminated. Another possibility is that the contamination could be
at a much shallower depth than where the private well is drawing water. If the private well is deep, then it possibly can
bypass contamination at more shallow depths. In any case, the US EPA recommends that well owners have their water
tested annually.
For additional general information on environmental topics, contact the Public Affairs office of the California
Environmental Protection Agency. This should be listed in the State government section of your local telephone
book. Another good source of information may be found by contacting the environmental or hazardous materials
specialist in your City or County Department of Health.

Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts: .
This property is subject to a special tax named below, which is in addition to the regular property taxes and any other charges and benefit assessments on the
parcel. The special tax may not be imposed on all parcels within the city or county where the property is located. If you fail to pay this tax when due each year,
the property may be foreclosed upon and sold. The tax is used to provide public facilities or services that are likely to particularly benefit the property.
There is a maximum tax that may be levied against this parcel each year to pay for public facilities. This amount may be subject to increase each year based
on the special tax escalator listed below (if applicable). The annual tax charged in any given year may not exceed the maximum tax amount. However, the
maximum tax may increase if the property use changes, or if the home or structure size is enlarged. The special tax will be levied each year until all of the
authorized facilities are built and all special tax bonds are repaid. If additional bonds are issued, the estimated end date of the special tax may be extended.
The authorized facilities which are being paid for by the special taxes and the money received from the sale of the bonds are summarized below. These
facilities may not yet have all been constructed or acquired and some may never be constructed or acquired.

Accelerated Foreclosure SummarysM
Important: If any items are listed below, .your property has accelerated foreclosure liens attached to it. These have
priority over other property taxes, and are part of the security for a municipal bond issue (or else are part of a Mello-Roos
community facilities district). The issuers of these bonds are often contractually required to monitor and collect
delinquent assessments quickly. There is no five year waiting period. If you fail to pay your property tax bills when due
each year, the property may be foreclosed upon and ~old. Therefore, it is important to pay your property tax bill on
time. If you cannot, you should contact your lender to discuss alternate arrangements. .
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts:
Agency/District I 2006/07 Tax Year Information
Santa Clara County Ubrary District JPA The amount charged for the 2006/07 tax year was $ 34.00.
Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 The maximum amount that could have been charged (worst case) was $42 for 2006/07.
This maximum amount will increase each year in the future, if applicable, by 0%.
This tax will be charged until Until services end.
*Note{)n Backup Taxes: If a "backup tax" is mentioned above, this tax has been established to be used as a worst case scenario, only if revenue is needed in
anyone year to meet bondholder payments. The likelihood of a tax reaching this backup level is low. However, property owners should be prepared for this as
a worst case scenario if the development in the district does not proceed as planned. Once the district is developed and properties are sold to many owners,
the likelihood of the actual tax ever reaching this amount is very low.

Notice of Supplemental Property Tax Bill
Copyright - 2006 First American NHD
Pursuant to Civil Code S11 02.6c, Seller or his or her agent is providing this "Notice of Your 'Supplemental' Property
Tax Bill":
California property tax law requires the Assessor to revalue real property at the time the
ownership of the property changes. Because of this law, you may receive one or two
supplemental tax bills, depending on when your loan closes.
The supplemental tax bills are not mailed to your lender. If you have arranged for your
property tax payments to be paid through an impound account, the supplemental tax bills will
not be paid by your lender. It is your responsibility to pay these supplemental bills directly to
the Tax Collector.
If you have any question concerning this matter, please call your local Tax Collector's
Office. "
Explanation of Supplemental Assessments
As stated in the official "Notice" above, State law requires the Assessor to reappraise property upon change in ownership
or completion of new construction. The resulting supplemental assessment reflects the difference between the new value
and the bid value. The Auditor-Controller calculates the supplemental property tax, and prorates it, based upon the
number of months remaining in the fiscal year in which the event occurred. The fiscal year runs from July 1 through June
30.
A change in ownership or new construction completion which occurs between January 1 and May 31 results in two
supplemental assessments and two supplemental tax. bills. The first supplemental bill is for the remainder of the fiscal
year in which the event occurred. The second supplemental bill is for the subsequent fiscal year.
Notices of Assessed Value Change are normally mailed to property owners before supplemental tax bills are issued.
Remember that supplemental tax bills are in addition to the regular annual tax bills. Supplemental bills go directly to the
property owner, and not to an impound account - where one might exist.
On following of this report, a SUPPLEMENTAL TAX BILL(S) ESTIMATOR is provided for the buyer to estimate the
amount of the supplemental tax bill(s). It does NOT include the amount of the regular secured Property Tax Bill. It is
only and estimate for the buyer's planning purposes.

General Information about
Your Property Tax Bill
California's secured property tax bills consist of two types of charges: 1) ad valorem taxes and 2) special assessments. These are
explained briefly below.
1) Ad Valorem Taxes
Ad valorem taxes are based on the value of property. The basic ad valorem tax is the statewide tax authorized by California law. This
general tax is 1 % of the assessed value of the property each year. This tax is shared by the state, schools, cities and counties. In
addition, voters can approve local additional ad valorem overrides that put the ad valorem tax rate over 1 %. These overrides
normally involve general obligation bond debt. These general obligation bonds do not place a special lien on anyone property but
simply increase the ad valorem tax rate slightly over 1 %.
2) Special Assessments
Anything that is not an ad valorem tax is called a "special assessment" or a "direct assessment." These charges are local in nature
and are used to fund local improvements or public services that provide some type of general or direct benefit to the property.
Special assessments are not tax rates and by law cannot be based on the value of property. Instead, each special assessment
district has some type of benefit formula that is used to calculate the amount of the assessment on each parcel. Special assessments
can be levied using a variety of laws, including the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982; various assessment district bond
acts such as the 1915 Act or 1911 Act; or through a variety of non-bonded charges such as the 1972 Act Landcape and Lighting Act,
the 1982 Benefit Assessment Act, user fees, service charges and other methods. Some commonly used types of special
assessments are:
a) Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts. This is a type of special assessment financing frequently used to fund infrastructure,
schools and many types of public services such as police, fire, landscaping, etc. A Mello-Roos district mayor may not in\IClve a bond sale.
Mello-Roos districts place a senior lien on the property that has a provision for accelerated foreclosure action by the levying agency if property taxes
are not paid on time. Because of this, California law now requires disclosure of Mello-Roos taxes in real estate transactions.
b) 1915 Bond Act Assessment Districts. This is another type of special assessment financing method frequently used to fund infrastructure
and other public improvements in California. The 1915 Act is a bond act only, meaning another assessment district formation act must be used to
form the boundaries of the district before 1915 Act bonds may be sold. These formation districts are usually one of these: the 1913 Act, the 1911
Act or the 1972 Act Issuance of 1915 Act bonds pi aces a senior lien on the property that has a provision for accelerated foreclosure action by the
bond issuer if property taxes are not paid on time. Because of this, California law now requires disclosure of assessments securing 1915 Act bonds
in real estate transactions.
c) Other Bonded Districts. In addition to Mello-Roos and the 1915 Act, there are other types of land-secured bonds that may impact California
property. These include improvement bonds issued under the 1911 Act or other improvement bonds issued under county or charter city laws.
Some of these do include the power of accelerated foreclosure; the Alliant tax report will include such items on the "Summary of Items Subject to
Accelerated Foreclosure" page.
d) Maintenance Districts. In most newer communities in California, the cost of maintaining common areas, landscaping, street iighting, storm
drains and parks is often handled through Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts. These may be formed under the 1972
Landscaping and Lighting Act or other legislation; these are approved annually through a public hearing process. They may have a cost-of-living
increase or other formula but must be renewed every year. These districts are often referred to as "cost recovery districts" since they provide a
means for government to provide a specific service and have the cost recovered through assessing those properties that benefit from the services.
e) User Fees and Service Charges. Many municipalities charge user fees for services to the property such as water and sewer. Instead of
billing the property owner directly for monthiy or quarterly fees, the service charge is collected annually on the property tax bilt
f) Standby or Availability Charges. Local agencies that provide water and sewer services are also authorized to levy Standby or Availability
Charges. These annual assessments are charged to help fund the future availability of services to the area or the expansion of services to meet
future growth.
g) County Service Areas, Community Services Districts and Permanent Road Divisions. In unincorporated areas of a county,
the county may provide services to specific areas through the formation of a County Service Areas ("CSA") or a Community Services District Then,
a specific community may receive enhanced services such as road maintenance, landscaping, street lighting and park maintenance, and repay the
county (or itself, if a Community Services District) through special service charges or assessments. Permanent Road Divisions are a similar type of
entity formed by a county to provide road improvement and maintenance in unincorporated areas.
h) Benefit Assessments and Parcel Taxes. School Districts and other local agencies commonly levy \lCter-approved annual special parcel
taxes or benefit assessments. These are annual charges that pay for specific service. Commonly used benefit assessments and parcel taxes are
those to pay for schools, fire protection, flood control and storm water maintenance or police services.
i) Penalties. Local agencies have the ability to place delinquent account charges for property related services or civil penalties directiy on the tax
bill. These.may include delinquent utility bills, fees for parcel cleanup and weed abatement and fees for civil penalties.
