Stockton, CA 95209 Access Agreement Former SS# 0187 APN 139-240-09 322— Q- Stockton, CA Dear Mr. Patel: I received your counterproposal for an access agreement which demands Unocal pay $50,000 for your signature on the agreement. For the reasons stated below, Unocal cannot agree to these terms. Your demand for $50,000 seems to be based on the premise that any money Unocal pays you would be reimbursed by the State UST Cleanup Fund. To the best of my knowledge, the Fund would not pay for that type of expenditure. Access to perform the environmental work will not have any significant effect on your use of the property. The installation of the wells will most likely take two days. After that the wells will have to be sampled every three months. This normallv takes no more that a few hours. The disruption to your use of the property will be minimal. Moreover, property owners throughout California have granted Unocal similar access to their property on the terms contained in the enclosed access agreement. Therefore, Unocal's proposal is commercially reasonable and consistent with customary practice. It is important for this environmental work to be completed. Without access, Unocal will not be able to complete the required environmental work. In that case, the required work may become the responsibility of the property owner. I have again attached two signed copies of the original access agreement without any changes other than the date. Your signature will allow Unocal to complete the environmental work required by the San Joaquin County Public Health Services. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated.
