H. The Parties intend by this Covenant to establish certain covenants , binding upon the Properties, to ensure that the Subterranean Parking Structure is operated as a joint improvement of the Properties (and not partially or entirely demolished or materially modified by an owner or ground lessee of any one of the Properties), thereby allowing for development of the Subterranean Parking Structure as a single, integrated structure across the property lines of the respective City Property and the Commercial Property.

The airspace encompassed by the Subterranean Parking Structure will at all times be subject to the reciprocal easements and rights set forth in the Project REA and this Covenant.

2. No Demolition. For the term of this Covenant, no owner or ground lessee of the Commercial Property, or any portion thereof, and no owner or ground lessee of the City Property, or any portion thereof, shall remove or demolish all or substantially all of the Subterranean Parking 108800\18267838v2
Structure located on its Property, except in connection with joint demolition of the Subterranean Parking Structure with the consent of all owners and ground lessees of the Properties.

3. Single Structure. This Covenant is executed for the purpose of creating a single Subterranean Parking Structure across legal property lines.

4. Binding Effect.

5. Term. This Covenant shall remain in effect for the term s of (i) the Project REA, and (ii) any amended, restated or replacement reciprocal easement and maintenance agreement established for purposes of shared or coordinated use, maintenance and operation of the Subterranean Parking Structure entered into and recorded by the then Owner s within thirty (30) days of termination of the Project REA (“Replacement REA”), and shall terminate automatically on termination of the Project REA or Replacement REA, as applicable; provided, however, that this Covenant shall remain in effect (and the Subterranean Parking Structure may remain in place) after termination of the Project REA or Replacement REA, as applicable, if, and so long as, the fee interests in the Properties are commonly owned by the same Owner(s).
