DATE February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Reimbursement Agreement with Meritage Homes of California, Inc. Re Proposed Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Fairway Canyon Phase 4C)
Description Approval of a Reimbursement Agreement with Meritage Homes Background and Analysis:
The developer, Meritage Homes of California, Inc., a California corporation (the "Developer") owns property containing 366 proposed residential lots within the City. Such property is located in the northwestern part of the City in Fairway Canyon. The Developer has requested that the City form a community facilities district ("CFD No. 2025-1") to encompass such property in accordance with the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (the "Act"), to finance the costs of certain public improvements, public safety services, and maintenance services through the levy of a special tax. The Developer has posted a deposit with the City to pay the costs of forming CFD No. 2025-
1. The City routinely enters into Reimbursement Agreements with Developers to reimburse CFD deposit costs from bond proceeds when and if issued.
As described in detail below, the City has obligations under the Development Agreement to cooperate with the Developer in forming CFD 2025-1.
In 2003, the City entered into a Development Agreement (the "Development Agreement") with LB/L-SunCal Oak Valley, LLC ("SunCal Oak Valley"). The Development Agreement requires the City to, among other things, cooperate with the developer in taking all steps necessary to cause a community facilities district or other alternative financing mechanisms to provide public financing for the construction of public infrastructure improvements on the property subject to the SunCal Development Agreement. The project subject to the Development Agreement was originally called Oak Valley and is now known as Fairway Canyon.
SunCal Oak Valley was a subsidiary of a large land development company known as SunCal and was set up as a single -purpose entity to own and develop the Oak Valley
project. Lehman Brothers provided financing to various SunCal subsidiaries for land development projects throughout California. In particular, SunCal Oak Valley received a loan from an affiliated entity of Lehman Brothers which was secured by a deed of trust against the Oak Valley project. Lehman Brothers also owned a 50% share of SunCal Oak Valley's equity.
Following the Lehman Brother's bankruptcy filing in 2008, SunCal Oak Valley entered bankruptcy as an involuntary debtor in California bankruptcy court as Lehman Brothers attempted to recover their investments in various SunCal projects by foreclosing on the various loans. In October 2011, following several years of litigation, Lehman Brothers and SunCal reached a settlement of their litigation pursuant to which, among other things, (1) SunCal would not object to the bankruptcy plan proposed by the bankruptcy trustee and (2) SunCal would have the option to purchase two projects from Lehman Brothers (one of which was the Oak Valley project) at an agreed price.
On January 6, 2012, the California bankruptcy court confirmed the final bankruptcy plan for SunCal Oak Valley and the other SunCal companies. The bankruptcy court's order provides that each of the various SunCal projects (including the Oak Valley project) were to be conveyed to the applicable Lehman Brothers affiliate, including all "right, title and interest in, to and under any development agreements, plans engineering reports, permits and community facilities district bonds." The final order from the bankruptcy court also specifically provided for the assumption of the Development Agreement by SunCal Oak Valley in the bankruptcy case and provided that any precondition to assignment or conveyance of any such contracts was deemed satisfied by the bankruptcy court's order.
In particular, on March 27, 2012, the bankruptcy court entered a sale order conveying the Oak Valley project to LV Oak Valley Champions LLC pursuant to the final bankruptcy plan.
Pursuant to the settlement agreement between SunCal and Lehman Brothers, it appears SDC Fairway Canyon LLC purchased the Oak Valley (now Fairway Canyon) project from LV Oak Valley Champions LLC. In July 2012, pursuant to Section 20.1 of the SunCal Development Agreement, the City consented to the assignment of the Development Agreement to SDC Fairway Canyon LLC.
Analysis:
The City routinely enters into Reimbursement Agreements with Developers to reimburse CFD deposit costs from bond proceeds when and if issued. The Developer has deposited [$50,000] with the City to pay the costs of forming the District. The Developer has also completed a sewer lift station that is ready for conveyance to the City. The Reimbursement Agreement would also allow for the Developer to convey such facility to
the City prior to the formation of CFD NO. 2025-1 and allow the Developer to be reimbursed for such facility from bond proceeds if and when issued.
Fiscal Impact:
The Developer has made a deposit of [$50,000] to pay for the costs of the formation proceedings which may be reimbursed to the Developer in accordance with Reimbursement Agreement.
The estimated cost to prepare this report is $250.
Recommended Action:
Approve the Reimbursement Agreement with Meritage Homes.

DATE February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Joint Community Facilities Agreement with the City of Beaumont, Beaumont Cherry Valley Water District and Meritage Homes of California, Inc. Relating to Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 (Fairway Canyon) and Community Facilities District No. 2024-_
Description Approval of a Joint Community Facilities Agreement among the City, Meritage Homes and Beaumont -Cherry Valley Water District.
Background and Analysis:
The developer, Meritage Homes of California, Inc., a California corporation (the "Developer") owns property containing 366 proposed residential lots within the City. Such property is located in the northwestern part of the City in Fairway Canyon. As discussed in a previous agenda item tonight, the Developer has requested that the City form a community facilities district ("CFD No. 2025-1") to encompass such property in accordance with the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (the "Act"), to finance the costs of certain public improvements, public safety services, and maintenance services through the levy of a special tax. In connection with the formation of proposed CFD No. 2025-1 (which is expected in the spring of 2025), the Developer is requesting that CFD No. 2025-1 finance certain water improvements required to develop the property which would be owned by Beaumont -Cherry Valley Water District ("Water District"). In order to finance such improvements, the City would be required to enter into a Joint Community Facilities Agreement ("JCFA") with the Developer and Water District.
The Developer has also posted a deposit with the City to pay the costs of forming CFD No. 2025-1.
As discussed in the previous agenda item tonight, the City has obligations under the Development Agreement to cooperate with the Developer in forming CFD 2025-1.
However, the Development Agreement does not specifically address the JCFA issue.
Analysis:
A JCFA is required under the Act to allow CFD 2025-1 to finance facilities to be owned by the Water District. Although the City does not have any JCFAs with any other public agencies, JCFAs are common in the State for CFD financings. Pursuant to the proposed JCFA, the CFD 2025-1 would issue bonds at the discretion of the City Council and when and if bonds are issued, a portion of the proceeds could be used by the Water District to acquire water facilities from the Developer. The Developer agrees within the JCFA to indemnify the City and the Water District for any and all actions relate to the JCFA.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost to prepare this report is $250.
Recommended Action:
Approve Joint Community Facilities Agreement among the City, Meritage Homes and Beaumont -Cherry Valley Water District.

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Elizabeth Gibbs, City Manager
DATE February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: First Amendment to Authorization and Cost Sharing Agreement with Beaumont Crossroads
Description Acquisition of Approximately 6.26 Acres of Property Located North of Fourth Street in Connection with the Potrero Interchange Project.
Background and Analysis:
The City Council approved a Donation Agreement with LASSEN DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, LLP ("Lassen"), on November 19, 2024, to acquire approximately 6.26 acres of land north of 4th street (APN No. 424-010-007). In connection with the acquisition of the land the City is required to perform certain environmental conservation obligations which will be evidenced by the agreements identified below. • Execute the Conservation Easement with Beaumont Crossroads Logistic II Park Association ("Beaumont Crossroads") and Rivers and Lands Conservancy ("RLC") whereby RLC will perform environmental mitigation obligations. • Execute Endowment Management Agreement with Beaumont Crossroads and RLC to fund a portion of the Endowment.
• Execute the First Amendment to Authorization and Cost Sharing Agreement with Beaumont Crossroads whereby the City agrees to fund its fair share of the cost of the environmental mitigation project.
These agreements are consistent with the terms of the Donation Agreement. Beaumont Crossroads is a property owners association for the Amazon Wherehouse project. The City and Beaumont Crossroads are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities associated with the environmental mitigation project mandated by the Army Corp of Engineers and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Concurrently with the recordation of the Conservation Easement, City will be responsible to pay 24% ($29,387.04) of the sum of One Hundred Twenty -Two Thousand Four Hundred Forty - Six Dollars ($122,446.00) ("Compliance Monitoring Initial Financial Requirement"),
which Compliance Monitoring Initial Financial Requirement is for the purpose of reimbursing RLC for its costs and expenses incurred in connection with its acceptance of the Compliance Endowment, and for fulfilling certain of RLC's obligations specified in the Conservation Easement for up to the first three (3) years following the date of this Agreement and the Conservation Easement. The City is also responsible for 24% ($148,173.36) of the "Compliance Endowment" of Six Hundred Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Eighty -Nine Dollars ($617,389.00), that has been identified by the applicable Endowment Assessment, as the funds required for the Compliance Monitoring.
This joint and several liability could exceed the 24% amount agreed to by the City.
However, the property is needed to allow acquisition of the property which is needed to provide access to property affected by the Potrero Interchange Project.
Environmental Analysis
The acquisition of the Property has been reviewed for compliance with the CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental procedures. CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) (General Rule) states that when it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that an action will have a significant effect on the environment, that activity is not subject to CEQA.
The potential future use of the Property for any other use as determined by the City Council would be subject to separate discretionary action and CEQA compliance review at that time. The full extent of the future use, design, and operations of the Property are speculative at this point and are therefore not yet ripe for evaluation. Potential environmental impacts will be evaluated at the time the City Council considers establishing the specific use for the Property.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of the environmental mitigation will be $270,619.36. The cost to prepare this staff report is approximately $350.
Funding for this project is allocated through the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Fiscal Year 2025-2029.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to Authorization and Cost Sharing Agreement with Beaumont Crossroads.

5.1 Access to the Property during the Feasibility Period shall be given to City, its agents, employees, or contractors during normal business hours upon at least one (1) business day's notice to Developer, at their own cost and risk, for any purposes, including, but not limited to, inspecting the Property, taking samples of the soil, and conducting an environmental audit (including an investigation of past and current uses of the Property). City shall indemnify and defend Developer against and hold Developer harmless from all losses, costs, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of City's entry onto the Property or any activity thereon by City or its agents, employees, or contractors prior to the Close of Escrow except to the extent any such losses, costs, damages, liabilities, and expenses arise out of the gross negligence or willful acts of Developer. Any entry onto the Property by City or its agents, employees, or contractors shall be at reasonable times. Prior to entry onto the Property, City shall provide Developer with an insurance certificate for the Property showing currently in effect general liability insurance in the amount of no less than $2,000,000 and listing Developer as an additional named insured. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, City and Developer agree that City shall not incur any liability hereunder merely by the discovery of an "Existing Adverse Condition" (as defined below) regardless of whether such Existing Adverse Condition, once revealed, negatively impacts the value of the Property or otherwise causes Developer to incur liabilities, costs or expenses. The term "Existing Adverse Condition" shall mean an adverse condition existing on or with respect to the Property that is discovered or revealed by City in the course of its Property inspection hereunder.
5.2 In addition to the provisions of Section 4.1, City and its agents, employees, or contractors shall have the right, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, to contact any federal, state, or local governmental authority or agency to investigate any matters relating to the Property; provided, however, that City shall not disclose any matter to such authority or agency regarding the results of City's due diligence investigation of the Property without Developer's prior written consent. Developer agrees to cooperate reasonably with City and its agents, employees, or contractors in the inspection of the Property and agrees to deliver to City all information in Developer's possession or control pertaining to the condition of the Property, including engineering and environmental reports, studies, tests, monitoring results, and related documentation, provided that such cooperation does not require Developer to expend any out-of- pocket costs.
6. Title.
6.1 Immediately following the execution of this Agreement by both Parties, Developer and City shall cause Escrow Agent to issue to City a preliminary report ("Preliminary Report") (with a copy to Developer) for a Standard Coverage ALTA Owner's Policy (with regional exceptions) of Title Insurance (sometimes formerly referred to as a CLTA Title Insurance Policy) for the Property, setting forth all liens, encumbrances, easements, restrictions, conditions, pending litigation, judgments, administrative proceedings, and other matters affecting Developer's title to the Property, together with copies of all documents relating to title exceptions referred to in the Preliminary Report.
6 173 36.00629142467966.11
6.2 City shall approve or disapprove, in writing to Developer with a copy to Escrow Agent, each exception shown on the Preliminary Report and each encroachment, overlap, or boundary line dispute, or any other matter that materially and adversely affects title to the Property (each an "Exception") within twenty (20) business days following the receipt of the Preliminary Report or the opening of Escrow, whichever is later. City's failure to object within the twenty (20) day period shall be deemed to be a disapproval of the Exceptions. The Exceptions approved by City hereunder shall be referred to as the "Approved Exceptions."
6.3 If any Exception is disapproved or deemed disapproved (each a "Disapproved Exception"), Developer shall have the right, but not the obligation, within thirty (30) days following expiration of the twenty (20) day period provided under Section 6.3 above, to cause each Disapproved Exception to be discharged, satisfied, released, or terminated, as the case may be, of record, and in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to City and Escrow Agent, all at Developer's sole cost and expense. Developer agrees to deposit into Escrow the sum sufficient to discharge any Disapproved Exception that may be discharged only by the payment of money. If Developer is unable or unwilling to obtain a discharge, satisfaction, release, or termination of any Disapproved Exception within the period specified above, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate ten (10) business days after expiration of the 30 -day period for curing the Disapproved Exceptions or after Developer advises City in writing that Developer is unable or unwilling to cause such discharge, satisfaction, release, or termination, whichever occurs first, unless within such 10 -business -day period City waives in writing such Disapproved Exception, in which event such Disapproved Exception shall be deemed an Approved Exception under this Agreement. If this Agreement terminates pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then Developer shall pay all charges of the Escrow Agent in connection with this transaction, including the charges of the surveyor and environmental engineering company; and the Parties shall be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities to each other under this Agreement except as otherwise provided herein, and all funds and documents deposited with Escrow Agent shall be promptly refunded or returned, as the case may be, by Escrow Agent to the depositing Party. Anything above to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that City's indemnity obligations under Section 5 shall not terminate upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this or any other provision hereof.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AUTHORIZATION AND COST -SHARING AGREEMENT (Beaumont Crossroads Conservation Easement Area)
This First Amendment to Authorization and Cost -Sharing Agreement ("Amendment") is entered into by and between BEAUMONT CROSSROADS LOGISTIC II PARK ASSOCIATION, a California non- profit mutual benefit corporation ("BCL"), and the City of Beaumont, a general law city ("City").
Recitals
A. LASSEN DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, LLLP, a Delaware limited liability limited partnership ("Lassen"), and MPLD II INLAND EMPIRE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MPLD") entered into that certain Authorization and Cost -Sharing Agreement ("Original Agreement") executed in or about February, 2020, concerning that certain Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan dated September 1, 2016 ("HMMP"). The Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment is sometimes referred herein as the "Agreement." B. Lassen agreed in the Original Agreement to appoint MPLD as its agent to satisfy the conditions relating to (i) the conservation easement, (ii) the restoration planting work on a portion of the Retained Parcel (APN 424-010-007) located to the north of 4th Street as required by the HMMP and (iii) any other requirements that may be imposed under the HMMP ("HMMP Requirements"); C. Since entering into the Original Agreement, the Overall Property, as defined in the Original Agreement, has been developed as an industrial warehouse project, and (i) BCL has acquired from MPLD title to land consisting of approximately 19.97 acres designated Assessor's Parcel Numbers 424- 010-015 and 424-010-018 ("015" and "018," respectively), and (ii) the City is acquiring from Lassen approximately 6.26 acres designated as Assessor's Parcel Number 424-010-007 ("007").
D. The City of Beaumont and Lassen executed that certain Donation Agreement whereby the City has the right to acquire 007 and desires to accept the liability for satisfying such HMMP Requirements with respect to 007 only. The HMMP runs with the land and, hence, upon the City's acquisition of 007, City will join BCL as a party responsible for complying with the HMMP Requirements. At such time, neither MPLD nor Lassen will have further responsibility for the HMMP Requirements. To the extent not already assigned, MPLD and Lassen have executed assignments of the Original Agreement to BCL and the City, respectively, in Section 14 of this Amendment.
E. The HMMP Requirements are to be implemented by and through that certain Conservation Easement and Endowment Agreement to which the City and BCL will be parties. The Conservation Easement nor the Endowment Agreement are in final form, but draft copies of each are attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B".
F. Under the Conservation Easement and the Endowment Agreement, the City and BCL may be subject to joint and several liability, as expressly provided or by implication.
G. The purpose of this Amendment is to provide that as between the parties hereto, the City and BCL shall allocate liability at 24% for the City and 76% for BCL for restoration work and funding of the Endowment Agreement and that City shall accept liabilities with respect to occurrences on 007 and BCL accept liability for occurrences on 015 and 018.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1 BN 86947131v3
Docusign Envelope ID: D0729B44-A6D5-4254-B11A-196E9EFA748B Amendment
1. Effective Date. This Amendment shall be effective on the recordation date of the Grant Deed, transferring 007 to the City in the Official Records of Riverside County, California ("Effective Date").
2. Agency and Representation. Lassen, City and MPLD hereby appoint BCL as the agent and representative to satisfy the HMMP Requirements. BCL agrees to keep City informed about its progress in satisfying the HMMP Requirements, and to act with due diligence and in a commercially reasonable manner in performing its obligations under the Agreement. BCL agrees, if any issue arises that may potentially create any liability for the City, BCL will seek the advanced written approval of the City before proceeding further. City shall not have the right to terminate this representation unless BCL acts in a manner which is not within the expectation of the parties, and is contrary to terms of the HMMP.
3. Execution of Documents. At such time as the Conservation Easement and the Endowment Agreement and any other related documents required by the HMMP are reasonably acceptable to City and BCL, City and BCL agree to promptly sign (and have acknowledged if necessary) the agreements and documents after receipt.
4. Reimbursement. City agrees to pay City's Prorata Share, as defined below, of the costs incurred by BCL in satisfying the initial and ongoing HMMP Requirements, including, but not limited to, any required conservation easement maintenance endowment. BCL agrees to pay BCL's Prorata Share, as defined below, of the costs incurred by BCL in satisfying the initial and ongoing HMMP Requirements, including, but not limited to, any required conservation easement maintenance endowment. In that regard, BCL agrees to provide City with copies of all requested documents including, but not limited to, consulting and construction agreements with respect to satisfying the HMMP Requirements ("HMMP Contracts"). BCL agrees to keep the HMMP Contracts separate from other contracts that BCL may have with the consultants and contractors and with other business of BCL. BCL shall invoice City, no more frequently that every thirty (30) days and no less frequently than every 180 days, for City's Prorata Share of the costs incurred by BCL under the HMMP Contracts, and City shall pay such invoice to BCL within thirty (30) days after receipt. Such invoices shall contain detailed line items identifying the expenditures broken down by City's Prorata Share and BCL's Prorata Share. BCL will provide the City with any requested backup documentation upon request including but not limited to invoices, receipts, payroll records and proof of payment by BCL. As used herein, "City's Prorata Share" shall mean twenty-four percent (24%) and "BCL's Pro -Rata Share" is seventy-six percent (76%).
5. Third -Party Notification. In order for BCL to represent City with respect to the agencies in the satisfaction of the HMMP Requirements, it desires to have written authorization from City to that effect.
Attached hereto as Exhibit "C" is a letter which City agrees to execute and deliver to BCL on the Effective Date.
6. Access. BCL and its consultants and contractors (and any agencies that desire to enter the site regarding the HMMP Requirements) shall have the right to enter that portion of the 007 at any time to inspect, plan, perform or construct the work to be done by them in relation to the HMMP Requirements.
Such right of access shall continue until the HMMP Requirements have been completed and are approved by the appropriate governmental agencies. No prior notification of entry shall be required to be given by BCL

Grantee shall store materials including field notes, photos, photo location maps, and maps of site conditions; (d) Every five (5) years, prepare a detailed maintenance report ("5 -Year Maintenance Report") that includes a summary of habitat management and monitoring activities over the prior five-year period, including those activities from the Annual Reports, site photographs, corrective actions, and adaptive management recommendations. (e) On a semiannual basis, conduct habitat maintenance activities to control invasive and exotic plant species by herbicide application or other site appropriate control method consistent with the LTMP, as described below. During the Field Survey the location and extent of invasive and exotic plant species will be identified, mapped, and scheduled for control by a qualified herbicide applicator. Control is recommended to occur outside of the general bird -nesting season; therefore, control is recommended between September 1St and February 15th. Control may occur during the bird -nesting season if a pre -work nesting bird survey is performed indicating nesting birds are absent. In general, all invasive and exotic plant species will be controlled. Focus will be on plants listed as invasive on the California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) Lists as an Al, A2, or have an invasiveness rating of "A" or "B" and on any new or unusual non-native plant that recruits onsite. Less invasive or innocuous weeds not listed on the Cal-IPC A -B list will be controlled as to not diminish habitat quality or degrade the Conservation Values. (f) Conduct a cowbird (Molothrus ater) trapping and removal program in order to reduce potential nest parasitism of LBV, SWFL, or other native bird species. Grantee will retain a permitted wildlife biologist (e.g. Santa Ana Watershed Association) to operate one cowbird trap every other year. The program will continue every two years, for a minimum of ten years, with annual reports submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). At the conclusion of the 10 years, a final report, including documentation of success and recommendations for future trapping needs, if necessary, will be submitted to USFWS.
(g) During each Field Survey, Grantee will collect and remove small items of litter and wind-blown debris, by hand ("Minor Trash Removal"). To the extent that Grantee identifies other items of trash and debris, Grantee will provide notice to Grantor, and Grantor will remove such items as needed;
(h) Subject to an Endowment Agreement approved in writing by the ACOE, set aside, hold, invest and disburse the Maintenance and Monitoring Endowment funds in trust solely for the purposes of preserving the Conservation Values of the Easement Area under this Conservation Easement in perpetuity;
(f) Have a fiduciary duty to ensure the Maintenance and Monitoring Endowment held in trust for the Easement Area is properly managed in accordance with the terms of the approved Endowment Agreement; and

Docusign Envelope ID: D0729B44-A6D5-4254-B11A-196E9EFA748B (1) Recover any damages to which they may be entitled for violation by the violating Party of the terms of this Conservation Easement or for any injury to the Conservation Values of the Easement Area. The non -violating Party shall first apply any damages recovered to the cost of undertaking any corrective action on the Easement Area. Prior to implementation of any remedial or restorative actions pursuant to this paragraph, ACOE shall be consulted. (2) Enjoin the violation, ex parte as necessary, by temporary or permanent injunction without the necessity of proving either actual damages or the inadequacy of otherwise available legal remedies.
(3) Pursue and obtain other equitable relief, including, but not limited to, the restoration of the Easement Area to the condition in which it existed prior to any such violation or injury. This remedy is expressly available notwithstanding the ability to claim damages as provided for in subdivision (1).
(4) Otherwise enforce this Conservation Easement.
(e) Notice of Dispute.
(1) If the violating Party provides the non -violating Party and/or ACOE with a Notice of Dispute, as provided herein, the non -violating Party and/or ACOE shall meet and confer with the violating Party at a mutually agreeable place and time, not to exceed thirty (30) days from the date that the non -violating Party and/or ACOE receive the Notice of Dispute. The non -violating Party and/or ACOE shall consider all relevant information concerning the disputed violation provided by the violating Party and shall determine whether a violation has in fact occurred and, if so, whether the Notice of Violation and demand for cure issued by the non - violating Party and/or ACOE is appropriate in light of the violation. (2) If, after reviewing the violating Party's Notice of Dispute, conferring with the violating Party, and considering all relevant information related to the violation, the non -violating Party and/or ACOE determine that a violation has occurred, the non - violating Party and/or ACOE shall give the violating party notice of such determination in writing.
Upon receipt of such determination, the violating Party shall have fifteen (15) days to cure the violation.

The violating Party shall complete such cure in accordance with the approved plan.
(f) Conflicting Notices of Violation.
(1) If any Party receives a Notice of Violation that is in material conflict with one or more prior written Notices of Violation that have not yet been cured by the Party (hereinafter "Active Notice(s) of Violation") such that the conflict makes it impossible for the Party to carry out the cure consistent with all prior Active Notices of Violation, the Party shall give written notice (hereinafter "Notice of Conflict") to the non -violating Party and/or ACOE issuing the later, conflicting Notice(s) of Violation. The Party shall issue said Notice of Conflict to the 13 Conservation Easement 010

(2) Upon issuing a valid Notice of Conflict to the appropriate non - violating Party and/or ACOE, as described above, the violating Party shall not be required to carry out the cure described in the conflicting Notice or Notices of Violation until such time as the non - violating Party responsible for said conflicting Notice(s) of Violation issue(s) a revised Notice of Violation that is consistent with prior Active Notices of Violation. Upon receipt of a revised, consistent Notice of Violation, the violating Party shall carry out the cure recommended in such notice within the time period(s) described in Subsection 7(c) above. Notwithstanding Subsection 7(4, failure to cure within said time period(s) shall entitle the non -violating Party to the remedies described in Subsection 7(d) and Subsection 7(h).
(3) The failure of the violating Party to issue a valid Notice of Conflict within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a conflicting Notice of Violation shall result in a waiver of the violating Party's ability to claim a conflict.

The rights of the non -violating Party and/or ACOE under this paragraph apply equally to actual or threatened violations of the terms of this Conservation Easement.
(h) Injunctive Relief. The violating Party agrees that the remedies at law for any violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement are inadequate and that the non -violating Party and ACOE shall be entitled to the injunctive relief described in this Section, both prohibitive and mandatory, in addition to such other relief to which they may be entitled, including specific performance of the terms of this Conservation Easement, without the necessity of proving either actual damages or the inadequacy of otherwise available legal remedies.

(m) Extinguishment. If circumstances arise in the future that render the Purpose of this Conservation Easement impossible to accomplish, this Conservation Easement can only be terminated or extinguished, in whole or in part, by judicial proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction.
(n) Warranty. Grantor represents and warrants that:
(1) Grantor is the sole owner of fee simple title to the Property; (2) There are no other previously granted easements existing on the Easement Area that interfere or conflict with the purposes of this Conservation Easement as evidenced by the Preliminary Report prepared by Commonwealth Title Company dated November 6, 2024, attached at Exhibit D;

If one or more of the purposes of this Conservation Easement may no longer be accomplished, such failure of purpose shall not be deemed sufficient cause to terminate the entire Conservation Easement as long as any other purpose of the Conservation Easement may be accomplished. In addition, the inability to carry on any or all of the permitted uses, or the unprofitability of doing so, shall not impair the validity of this Conservation Easement or be considered grounds for its termination or extinguishment. Grantor and Grantee agree that global warming and climate change -caused effects shall not be a basis for termination of this Conservation Easement.
(p) No Merger. The doctrine of merger shall not operate to extinguish this Conservation Easement if the Conservation Easement and fee title to the Property become vested in the same party. If, despite this intent, the doctrine of merger applies to extinguish this Conservation Easement, Grantor shall record a replacement conservation easement containing the same protections embodied in this Conservation Easement. The replacement conservation easement shall identify a grantee other than the fee title owner of the Property, subject to the approval of Grantee and ACOE. Grantor shall provide Grantee and ACOE with an opportunity to review the replacement conservation easement prior to its recordation. (q) Third -Party Beneficiary. Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that the ACOE is a third -party beneficiary of this Conservation Easement with the right of access to the Property and Easement Area, the right to enforce all of this Conservation Easement's provisions, and all other rights and remedies of the Grantee under this Conservation Easement.

Wire Fraud Alert
This Notice is not intended to provide legal or professional advice. If you have any questions, please consult with a lawyer.
All parties to a real estate transaction are targets for wire fraud and many have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because they simply relied on the wire instructions received via email, without further verification. If funds are to be wired in conjunction with this real estate transaction, we strongly recommend verbal verification of wire instructions through a known, trusted phone number prior to sending funds.
In addition, the following non-exclusive self-protection strategies are recommended to minimize exposure to possible wire fraud.
• NEVER RELY on emails purporting to change wire instructions. Parties to a transaction rarely change wire instructions in the course of a transaction.
• ALWAYS VERIFY wire instructions, specifically the ABA routing number and account number, by calling the party who sent the instructions to you. DO NOT use the phone number provided in the email containing the instructions, use phone numbers you have called before or can otherwise verify. Obtain the phone number of relevant parties to the transaction as soon as an escrow account is opened. DO NOT send an email to verify as the email address may be incorrect or the email may be intercepted by the fraudster. • USE COMPLEX EMAIL PASSWORDS that employ a combination of mixed case, numbers, and symbols. Make your passwords greater than eight (8) characters. Also, change your password often and do NOT reuse the same password for other online accounts.
• USE MULTI -FACTOR AUTHENTICATION for email accounts. Your email provider or IT staff may have specific instructions on how to implement this feature.
