Premises existed immediately prior to said tests.
(b) In the event that Purchaser determines that additional Due Diligence Investigations
are required and cannot be completed prior to the expiration of the Initial Feasibility Period,
Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Feasibility Period for o
pd (2) additional periods not to
exceed thirty (30) days each (the "Extended Feasibility Period") by giving written notice to Seller

3.1 General. The costs (the "Costs") associated with the initial construction of

routine maintenance of the same shall be allocated among the Owners, in
accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 3.
3.2 Cost Associated with Construction of the Access Area. The Parcel 1 Owner
shall be solely responsible for the Costs of initial construction of the Access Area.
3.3 Costs Associated with Construction of the BMP Pond. The Parcel 1 Owner
shall be solely responsible for the Costs of initial construction of the BMP Pond.
The Parcel 2 Owner shall be solely responsible for the cost of installation and
maintenance of any storm water piping required for the utilization of the BMP Pond
by the Parcel 2 Owner, its successors and assigns.
3.4 Ongoing and Routine Maintenance Associated with Access Easement
Area, BMP Easement Area and BMP Pond. Subsequent to the initial Costs
associated with construction of the Access Area and the BMP Pond, subject to any
other limitations contained in this Agreement (including those outlined in
subparagraph 3.7), the Pro Rata Share of the Costs associated with "ongoing and
routine maintenance" of the Access Area, BMP Easement Area and BMP Pond
(collectively, the "Easement Areas"), shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of this subparagraph. The initial Costs of the ongoing and routine
maintenance of the Easement Areas shall be the sole responsibility of the Parcel
1 Owner until the commencement of construction of one or more buildings and/or
parking lot(s) on Parcel 2. Thereafter, the Pro Rata Share of the Costs attributable
to Parcel 1 shall be determined by multiplying the Costs by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the square footage of Parcel 1 and the denominator of which
5
is the sum of the square footage of Parcel 1 and Parcel 2. Likewise, the Pro Rata
Share of the Costs attributable to Parcel 2 shall be determined by multiplying the
Costs by a fraction the numerator of which is the square footage of Parcel 2 and
the denominator of which is the sum of the square footage of Parcel 1 and Parcel
2.
The Parcel 1 Owner shall be responsible for performing the ongoing and
routine maintenance of the Easement Areas subject to the Parcel 2 Owner's
reimbursement for its Pro Rata Share. In the event the Parcel 1 Owner defaults in
its obligation to so maintain the Easement Areas and such default continues for
thirty (30) days after written notice to the Parcel 1 Owner, then the Parcel 2 Owner
shall have the right to perform such maintenance and recover the Parcel 1 Owner's
Pro Rata Share of the Costs from the Parcel 1 Owner. Notwithstanding anything
in the foregoing to the contrary, no notice to the Parcel 1 Owner shall be necessary
in the event of an emergency and the Parcel 2 Owner is unable to reasonably
provide notice to the Parcel 1 Owner or the Parcel 1 Owner does not take
immediate action to address the emergency.
"Ongoing and routine maintenance" shall mean keeping the Easement
Areas in well -maintained, safe, clean and attractive condition in a commercially
reasonable fashion consistent with Franklin County, North Carolina standards and
in a good and passable condition that is harmonious with the Parcels at all times.
Such maintenance shall include, but not be limited to-
(i) Prompt removal of all litter, trash, refuse and waste.
(ii) Lawn mowing in the BMP Easement Area.
(iv) Keeping exterior lighting and mechanical facilities in working order.
(v) Keeping Access Area and entry way in good condition and repair.
(vi) Complying with all requirements of Governmental Authorities.
(vii) Striping and re -paving of the Access Area.
(viii) Repair and/or replacement of exterior damages and improvements.
(ix) Snow and ice removal.
The Owners hereto acknowledge and agree that any costs of repair of the
Easement Areas that are the result of construction vehicles using the Easement
Areas during construction, repair and renovation of improvements constructed or
to be constructed on Parcel 1 or Parcel 2 shall not be considered Costs for ongoing
and routine maintenance as defined herein. The responsibility for such repairs
shall be the responsibility of the Owner for whom the construction vehicles were
performing work.
h
u
From and after the date on which the Parcel 1 Owner is no longer solely
responsible for the ongoing and routine maintenance of the Easement Areas, the
necessity for repairs or maintenance and the execution of the same shall be
determined in the following manner:
Either Owner may provide written notice to the other that certain repairs,
maintenance, or replacements other than ongoing and routine maintenance are
deemed necessary by such Owner and the estimated cost thereof. The other
Owner shall respond to such notice in writing within fourteen (14) days either
agreeing with the notice or disagreeing with such notice, either wholly or in part,
setting forth the basis for disagreement. The Owner providing the original notice
may then attempt to reach an agreement with the other Owner or may submit the
matter to McAdams, Durham, North Carolina, or another engineering firm
agreeable to both Owners (the "Engineer"), for resolution of the matter. The
determination of the Engineer shall be final and binding on both Owners. The
Owner in whose favor the Engineer rules, shall pay the costs of the Engineer in
making the determination. The Owner providing the original notice shall execute
the work (by itself or through its contractor) unless the Owners agree that one or
the other or both shall share in that effort. The Owners shall share the costs of
such work ("Non -Routine Costs") pro rata as set forth above, except to the extent
that such costs exceed one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the original
estimate, in which case the Owner undertaking the work shall pay any such
excess. The Owner undertaking the work may assess such Non -Routine Costs of
such work in accordance with the remittance or pay schedule under any contract
for such work. Such assessment shall be by written invoice or statement (as
hereinafter defined) to the other Owner. In the event the Owners cannot agree
upon the successor to Stocks Engineering, P.A., the Engineer shall be a reputable
licensed civil engineer with experience in wastewater management practicing in
Franklin County, North Carolina designated by the Clerk.
3.5 Payment of Costs. Each Owner shall pay its Pro Rata Share of the Costs
and Non -Routine Costs assessed against such Owner within fifteen (15) business
days of receipt from the Parcel 1 Owner of a written invoice or statement (the
"Invoice"). In the event any property Owner fails to reimburse the Parcel 1 Owner
for the Costs or Non -Routine Costs within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of
the Invoice, in addition to the right of reimbursement and any other rights and
remedies provided for at law or in equity, the Owner incurring such costs shall have
the right to file a notice of lien (the "Notice") in the Office of the Clerk of Superior
Court for Franklin County, North Carolina (the "Clerk"), which Notice shall be a lien
against the Parcel of the non-paying property Owner for the full amount of the
Costs or Non -Routine Costs attributable to the non-paying Owner, together with
reasonable attorneys fees and other costs of collection, and interest thereon from
the date the Costs were incurred until paid, which interest shall accrue at the legal
rate in effect from time to time. The Notice shall be junior and subordinate to the
lien of any previously recorded mortgage affecting the Parcel of the non-paying
property Owner. Nothing herein shall preclude an Owner from disputing the Costs
or Non -Routine Costs and upon the filing of a civil action in the General Court of
Justice of Franklin County disputing the Costs or Non -Routine Costs and the filing
7
of a bond in the amount of such Costs or Non -Routine Costs with the Clerk, such
lien shall be released.
3.6 Subdivision of Parcels. In the event that a Parcel is subdivided at a future
date, the parcels created by such subdivision each shall be deemed to be a
"Parcel" hereunder and the Owner thereof shall be responsible for its pro -rats
portion of the Costs and Non -Routine Costs in accordance with the formulas
established in this Paragraph 3 and such Parcels shall be subject to the filing of a
Notice in the event of nonpayment of the Costs and Non --Routine Costs attributable
to such parcels. Each of the Owners agrees to join in the execution and delivery
of any document evidencing the subdivision and allocation of responsibility
hereunder which is reasonably requested by the subdividing Owner, and such
document shall be recorded in the Franklin County Registry and be binding upon
the Owners and their respective successors and assigns.
3.7 Damages. Any damage to Parcel 1 that may occur either within or outside
the Easement Areas located on Parcel 1 resulting from the Parcel 2 Owner's use
of the Easement Areas located on Parcel 1, other than ordinary wear and tear,
shall be promptly repaired by the Parcel 2 Owner at its sole cost and expense. if
the Parcel 2 Owner fails to so repair Parcel 1 as required hereunder, the Parcel 1
Owner may, but shall not be obligated to, after providing five (5) days prior written
notice and the right to cure to the Parcel 2 Owner, perform the required repairs
and be entitled to reimbursement from the Parcel 2 Owner for the applicable costs
thereof plus interest at the legal rate from the date of expenditure by the Parcel 1
Owner until paid in full. Such obligation shall be deemed to be "Costs" owed by
the Parcel 2 Owner to which the provisions of Section 3.5 are applicable.
4. Use Restrictions.
4.1 General. Each Parcel shall be used for lawful purposes in conformance with
all restrictions imposed by all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, codes,
and regulations, and no use or operation shall be made, conducted or permitted
on or with respect to all or any portion of a Parcel which is illegal.
4.2 Use Restrictions. In consideration of the Parcel 1 Owner's grant of the
easements to the Parcel 2 Owner as set forth above, the Parcel 2 Owner expressly
agrees that no other parcel of property within a radius of 2000 feet of Parcel 1 or
any part thereof (the "Restricted Property"), now or hereafter owned by the Parcel
2 Owner, or by a partnership, limited liability company or corporation in which the
Parcel 2 Owner owns any ownership interest, shall be used as, incidental to, in
connection with, sold for or leased to a McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Sonic,
Bojangles, Kentucky Fried Chicken or Chick-Fil-A or other restaurant that sells
hamburgers, chicken and/or biscuits as primary menu items. The exclusive use
restriction shall burden the Restricted Property for a period of twenty (20) years
from the recordation of the deed from the date of recordation of this Declaration,
shall be enforceable by the Parcel 1 Owner, its successors and assigns, and shall
be binding upon any grantee, lessee, transferee of the Parcel 2 Owner, its heirs,
successors and assigns. The Parcel 2 Owner shall cause to be inserted in any
N
deed, lease or other document relative to any part of the Restricted Property the
restrictions upon use set forth herein, indicating that the Restricted Property is
burdened by this restriction and that the same runs with and is appurtenant to
Parcel 1.
5. Insurance. Throughout the term of this Agreement, each Owner shall procure and
maintain general and/or comprehensive public liability and property damage
insurance against claims for personal injury (including contractual liability arising
under the indemnity contained in Paragraph 2.3 above), death, or property damage
occurring upon the Parcels, with single limit coverage of not less than an aggregate
of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) including umbrella coverage, if any, and
naming each other Owner (provided the Owner obtaining such insurance has been
supplied with the name of such other Owner in the event of a change thereof) as
additional insureds. Either Owner may choose to insure its obligations hereunder
as part of a blanket policy of insurance covering its other facilities and the Owners
each agree that such policy is acceptable if it meets all the other requirements of
this paragraph.
6. Taxes and Assessments. Each Owner shall pay all taxes, assessments, or
charges of any type levied or made by any governmental body or agency with
respect to its Parcel.
7. No Rights in Public; No Implied Easements. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as creating any rights in the general public or as dedicating for public
use any portion of Parcel 1 or Parcel 2. No easements except those expressly set
forth in Paragraph 2, are granted or shall be implied by this Agreement; in that
regard, and without limiting the foregoing, no easements for parking or signage are
granted or implied.
8. Remedies and Enforcement.
8.1 All Legal and Equitable Remedies Available. In the event of a breach or
threatened breach by any Owner or its Permittees of any of the terms, covenants,
restrictions or conditions hereof, the other Owner(s) shall be entitled forthwith to
full and adequate relief by injunction and/or all such other available legal and
equitable remedies from the consequences of such breach, including payment of
any amounts due and/or specific performance.
8.2 Self -Help. In addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, upon
the failure of a defaulting Owner to cure a breach of this Agreement, other than a
default in making any payment or reimbursement due hereunder, within thirty (30)
days following written notice thereof by an Owner (unless, with respect to any such
breach the nature of which cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period,
the defaulting Owner commences such cure within such 30-day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion), any non -defaulting
Owner shall have the right to perform such obligation contained in this Agreement
on behalf of such defaulting Owner and be reimbursed by such defaulting Owner
upon demand for the reasonable costs thereof together with interest at the legal
IS]
rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of (i) an emergency, and/or (ii)
blockage or material impairment of the easement rights, a non -defaulting Owner
may immediately cure the same and be reimbursed by the defaulting Owner upon
demand for the reasonable cost thereof together with interest at the Prime Rate,
plus two percent (2%), as above described.
8.3 Lien Rights. Any claim for reimbursement, including interest as aforesaid,
and all costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees awarded to any
Owner in enforcing any payment in any suit or proceeding under this Agreement
shall be assessed against the defaulting Owner in favor of the prevailing party and
shall constitute a lien (the "Assessment Lien") against the Parcel of the defaulting
Owner until paid, effective upon the recording of a notice of lien with respect thereto
in the Clerk's office; provided, however, that any such Assessment Lien shall be
subject and subordinate to (i) liens for taxes and other public charges which by
applicable law are expressly made superior, (ii) all liens recorded in the Franklin
County Register of Deeds ("Franklin Registry") prior to the date of recordation of
said notice of lien, and (iii) all leases entered into, whether or not recorded, prior
to the date of recordation of said notice of lien. All liens recorded subsequent to
the recordation of the notice of lien described herein shall be junior and
subordinate to the Assessment Lien. Upon the timely curing by the defaulting
Owner of any default for which a notice of lien was recorded, the party recording
same shall record an appropriate release of such notice of lien and Assessment
Lien.
8.4 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies specified herein shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other remedies permitted at law or in equity.
8.5 No Termination For Breach. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, no breach hereunder shall entitle any Owner to cancel,
rescind, or otherwise terminate this Agreement. No breach hereunder shall defeat
or render invalid the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust upon any Parcel made
in good faith for value, but the easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions
hereof shall be binding upon and effective against any Owner of such Parcel
covered hereby whose title thereto is acquired by foreclosure, trustee's sale, or
otherwise.
8.6 Irreparable Harm. In the event of a violation or threat thereof of any of
the provisions of paragraphs 2 and/or 4 of this Agreement, each Owner agrees
that such violation or threat thereof shall cause the non -defaulting Owner
and/or its Permittees to suffer irreparable harm and such non -defaulting Owner
and its Permittees shall have no adequate remedy at law. As a result, in the
event of a violation or threat thereof of any of the provisions of paragraphs 2
and/or 4 of this Agreement, the non -defaulting Owner, in addition to all
remedies available at law or otherwise under this Agreement, shall be entitled
to injunctive or other equitable relief to enjoin a violation or threat thereof of
paragraphs 2 and/or 4 of this Agreement.
10
9. Term. The easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions contained in this
Agreement shall be effective commencing on the date of recordation of this
Agreement in the Franklin Registry and, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect thereafter in perpetuity, unless this
Agreement is modified, amended, canceled or terminated by the written consent
of all then record Owners of Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 in accordance with paragraph
10.2 hereof.
10. Miscellaneous.
10.1 Attorneys' Fees. In the event a party institutes any legal action or
proceeding for the enforcement of any right or obligation herein contained, the
prevailing party after a final adjudication shall be entitled to recover its costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the preparation and prosecution of such
action or proceeding.
10.2 Amendment. The parties agree that the provisions of this Agreement
may be modified or amended, in whole or in part, or terminated, only by the written
consent of all record Owners of Parcel 1 and Parcel 2, evidenced by a document
that has been fully executed and acknowledged by all such record Owners and
recorded in the Franklin Registry.
10.3 Consents. Wherever in this Agreement the consent or approval of an
Owner is required, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, such consent or
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any request
for consent or approval shall: (a) be in writing; (b) specify the section hereof which
requires that such notice be given or that such consent or approval be obtained;
and (c) be accompanied by such background data as is reasonably necessary to
make an informed decision thereon. The consent of an Owner under this
Agreement, to be effective, must be given, denied or conditioned expressly and in
writing.
10.4 No Waiver. No waiver of any default of any obligation by any party hereto
shall be implied from any omission by the non -defaulting party to take any action
with respect to such default.
10.5 No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by
either party or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent
or of limited or general partners or of joint venturers or of any other association
between the parties.
10.6 Covenants to Run with Land. It is intended that each of the easements,
covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights and obligations set forth herein shall run
with the land and create equitable servitudes in favor of the real property benefited
thereby, shall bind every person having any fee, leasehold or other interest therein
and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties and their successors,
assigns, heirs, and personal representatives.
11
10.7 Grantee's Acceptance. The grantee of any Parcel or any portion thereof or
interest therein, by acceptance of a deed conveying title thereto or the execution
of a contract for the purchase thereof, whether from an original party or from a
subsequent owner of such Parcel, shall accept such deed or contract upon and
subject to each and all of the easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions and
obligations contained herein. By such acceptance, any such grantee shall for
himself and his successors, assigns, heirs, and personal representatives,
covenant, consent, and agree to and with the other party, to keep, observe, comply
with, and perform the obligations and agreements set forth herein with respect to
the property so acquired by such grantee.
10.8 Separability. Each provision of this Agreement and the application thereof
to Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 are hereby declared to be independent of and severable
from the remainder of this Agreement. If any provision contained herein shall be
held to be invalid or to be unenforceable or not to run with the land, such holding
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. In
the event the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement is held to
be dependent upon the existence of a specific legal description, the parties agree
to promptly cause such legal description to be prepared. Ownership of both
Parcels by the same person or entity shall not terminate this Agreement nor in any
manner affect or impair the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.
10.9 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the complete understanding
and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to all matters referred to herein,
and all prior representations, negotiations, and understandings are superseded
hereby.
10.11 Notices. Any notices, requests, or other communications required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand
or overnight commercial courier or mailed by United States registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to each party at its
address as set forth below. Any such notices, requests or other communications
shall be considered given or delivered, as the case may be (a) on the date of hand
delivery, (b) on the second (2nd) day following the date of deposit in the United
States mail, or (c) on the next business day after the date of deposit with an
overnight commercial courier as provided above. If a notice is given by more than
one method, it will be deemed received upon the earlier of the dates of receipt
pursuant to this Section. Rejection or other refusal to accept or inability to deliver
because of change of address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to
be receipt of the notice, request, or other communication. By giving at least five
(5) days prior written notice thereof to the other parties, a party hereto may from
time to time and at any time change its mailing address hereunder; provided,
however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in order for the notice of
address change to be effective it must actually be received:

copy of any such direct communication, such communications being expressly permitted
by the Owners and their respective counsel.
10.12 Governing Law. The laws of the State in which the Parcels are located
shall govern the interpretation, validity, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement without reference to such State's conflict of laws provisions.
10.13 Estoppel Certificates. Each Owner, within twenty (20) days of its
receipt of a written request from the other Owner(s), shall from time to time provide
the requesting Owner, a certificate binding upon such Owner stating: (a) to the
13
best of such Owner's knowledge, whether any party to this Agreement is in default
or violation of this Agreement and if so identifying such default or violation; and (b)
that this Agreement is in full force and effect and identifying any amendments to
the Agreement as of the date of such certificate.
10.14 Bankruptcy. In the event of any bankruptcy affecting any Owner or
Permittee of any Parcel, the parties agree that this Agreement shall, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, be considered an agreement that runs with the
land and that is not rejectable, in whole or in part, by the bankrupt person or entity.
10.15 Priority of Agreement: Subordination by Mortgagees. The covenants,
conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall be prior and superior
to each and every mortgage lien or deed of trust encumbering the Parcels. The
Owners agree to cause any mortgagee holding a valid mortgage lien or any
beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the Parcels, as of the time of this
Agreement to subordinate its or their lien or liens or its or their rights and interest
or interests to the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement
by written subordination agreement executed by any such mortgagee or by the
trustee of any such deed of trust, with the consent of any such beneficiary, in a
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owners, such writing to be
recorded in the Franklin Registry.
10.16 Extent of Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Parcel 1 Owner and the Parcel 2 Owner hereby
expressly agree that the obligations and liability of each of them shall be limited
solely to such party's interest in its respective Parcel, as such interest is constituted
from time to time. The Parcel 1 Owner and the Parcel 2 Owner agree that any
claim against a party hereto shall be confined to and satisfied only out of, and only
to the extent of, such party's interest in its Parcel, as such interest is constituted
from time to time. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall limit or affect any right
that any party might otherwise have to seek or to obtain injunctive relief or to
specifically enforce the rights and agreements herein set forth, provided that such
injunctive relief or specific performance does not involve the payment of money
from a source other than such party's interest in its Parcel, as such interest may
be constituted from time to time.
