award or payment made to another party in connection with any exercise of eminent domain or
transfer in lieu thereof affecting another party's parcel or to give the public or any government any
rights in the Entire Property or a parcel. In the event of any exercise of eminent domain or transfer

performance of any obligation required hereunder, and if at the end of thirty (30) days after written
notice from any other of a parcel or the party to whom its authority has been delegated, stating with
particularity the nature and extent of such default, the defaulting owner has failed to cure such
default, and if a diligent effort is not then being made to cure such default, then any other owner of
a parcel or the party to whom its authority has been delegated shall, in addition to all other remedies
it may have at law or in equity, have the right to perform such obligation of this agreement on
behalf of such defaulting owner and recover the cost thereof, together with interest at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum. Any such claim for reimbursement, together with interest as

lien, (3) the last known name and address of the owner or reputed owner of the parcel against which

certificate that a copy thereof has been served upon or mailed to the party against whom the lien is

posts a bond in an amount sufficient to release the lien as a matter of record. The lien so claimed
shall attach from the date of recordation solely in the amount claimed thereby on it may be enforced
in any manner allowed by law for the foreclosure of liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
liens shall be subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust given in good faith and for the value now
or hereafter encumbering the property subjected to the lien which is recorded prior to the date of
such lien, and any purchaser at any foreclosure or trustee's sale (as well as any grantee by deed in
lieu of foreclosure or trustee's sale) under any first mortgage or deed of trust shall take free and
clear from any such then existing lien, but otherwise be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
The failure of the owner or owners of a parcel to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict
performance of any of the promises, covenants, conditions, restrictions or agreements herein, shall
not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future breach of the provisions hereof.
12. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. The charges and burdens of this
Agreement are, and shall at all times be, prior and therefore superior to the lien or charge of any
mortgage or deed of trust hereafter made in good faith and for value affecting Parcel 1, Parcel2 and
Parcel 3 or any part thereof, or any improvements now or hereafter placed thereon, but are
subordinate to the security interests of record on the date hereof. A breach of any of the easements,
covenants or restrictions hereof shall not defeat or render invalid the lien or charge of any mortgage
or deed of trust. The superiority of this Agreement shall be limited to the extent that title to any
property acquired through sale under foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust affected by
power of sale, judicial proceedings, or otherwise, shall be subject to all the charges and burdens
affecting the parcels by virtue of this Agreement.
13. RELEASE FROM LIABILITY. Any person acquiring fee or leasehold title to Parcel 1,
Parcel2 or Parcel3 or any portion thereof shall be bound by this Agreement only as to the parcel or
portion of the parcel acquired by such persons. Such person shall be bound by this Agreement only
during the period such person is the fee or leasehold owner of such parcel or portion of the parcel,
except as to obligations, liabilities or responsibilities that accrue during said period. Although
persons may be released under this paragraph, the easements, covenants and restrictions of this
Agreement shall continue to be benefits and servitudes upon the parcel and ruruling with the land.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns.
14. NOT A PUBLIC DEDICATION. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a gift or
dedication of any portion of the parcels to the general public or for the general public or for any
public purposes whatsoever, it being the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be
strictly limited to and for the purposes herein expressed. The right of the public or any person to
make any use whatsoever of the Access Easement Areas of the parcels herein affected, or any
portion thereof (other than any use expressly allowed by a written or recorded map, agreement,
deed or dedication) is by permission, and subject to the control of the owner. Notwithstanding any
Reciprocal Access and Stormwater Agreement
Page 5 of 13
other provisions herein to the contrary, the owners of the parcels may periodically restrict ingress
and egress in order to prevent a prescriptive easement from arising by reason of continued public
use. Any restriction on ingress and egress shall be limited to the period reasonably necessary to
prevent the creation of a prescriptive easement and, to the extent reasonably practical, shall occur at
such time as to have a minimum effect on the parties hereto.
15. NOTICES. All notices provided for herein may be delivered in person, sent by regular
overnight courier service or mailed in the United States mail, registered or certified, with postage
prepaid and, if mailed, shall be considered delivered three (3) business days after deposit in such
