This Private Roadway Access Easement ("Agreement") between THE CITY OF TOLLESON, 
an Arizona municipal corporation (the "CITY”) and MARTENS PARK 91 LAND, LLC, an Arizona 
limited liability company (“MARTENS PARK 91”), (collectively, the “party” or “parties”), is hereby 
entered into and shall be effective on the last signature date set forth below.  . 
 
RECITALS 
 
MARTENS PARK 91 is the owner of that certain real property legally described on Exhibit 
A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "MARTENS PARK 91 Property"). 
 
The CITY is the owner of certain real property legally described on Exhibit B attached 
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which is a private (not public) road, commonly 
known as Pima Street (the "Easement Property"). 
 
The CITY wishes to grant MARTENS PARK 91 an easement to install, maintain and allow 
for a private roadway for pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress use by MARTENS PARK 91, 
its contractors, tenants, employees, designees, successors and assigns (the "MARTENS PARK 91 
Parties"), on and over and the Easement Property.  
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and promises contained herein, and 
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby 
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference. 
 
2. 
Grant of Easements.  The CITY hereby grants to MARTENS PARK 91, for the benefit 
of the MARTENS PARK 91 Parties, a perpetual non-exclusive easement on, over and under the 
Easement Property for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair and use of private 
roadway improvements (including, without limitation, curb, gutter and roadway), as generally 
described on Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Roadway

2 
Improvements"). 
 
3. 
Non-Interference with Roadway Improvements. The easement granted to 
MARTENS PARK 91 across the Easement Property is a non-exclusive easement; provided, 
however, the CITY agrees and acknowledges that in no event shall any other use of the Easement 
Area by the CITY, or any party obtaining its interest by or through the CITY, in any way interfere 
with, conflict with or disrupt MARTENS PARK 91's use of the Roadway Improvements described 
herein, or the free and unobstructed vehicular ingress and egress from the MARTENS PARK 91 
Property across the Easement Property to and from the public street known as 91st Avenue.  Any 
damage caused to the Roadway Improvements by the CITY, or its employees, agents, contractors 
or invitees or any party obtaining its interest in the Easement Property by or through the CITY, 
shall be promptly repaired and restored by the CITY, at its sole cost and expense. 
 
4. 
Compliance with CITY Construction Requirements. MARTENS PARK 91 
understands and agrees that the initial construction of the Roadway Improvements, to be

public vehicular ingress and egress roadway connecting to a public street, being 91st Avenue. The 
plans and specifications for the initial construction of the Roadway Improvements (the 
"Approved Plans") have been submitted to the CITY and were previously approved. Copies of the

is completed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the Approved Plans. 
Associated costs for the Roadway Improvements will be the responsibility of MARTENS PARK 91. 
 
6.

Easement Property free and clear of any or all mechanic's and materialmen's liens arising out of 
MARTENS PARK 91, including, but not limited to, mechanics' and materialmen's liens relating to 
the MARTENS PARK 91 work contemplated hereby. 
 
7. 
Indemnification. MARTENS PARK 91 agrees to indemnify and hold harmless and 
release the CITY from any and all claims for damages or injury arising from or in any way incident 
to the design, engineering, construction, and use of the Roadway Improvements, or the exercise

shall expressly include, but shall not be limited to, damages to the CITY or its members' properties 
resulting from failure of or damage to any CITY property. In the event that the CITY is named as 
a party to any lawsuit to which this indemnification provision applies, MARTENS PARK 91 shall

3 
reimburse the CITY for all attorneys' fees and costs incurred in defending itself in the lawsuit. 
Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall the forgoing indemnity apply to any damages or 
injuries caused by the breach of this Agreement by the CITY or the acts, negligence or willful 
misconduct of the CITY, or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees.
