This Conservation Easement may be amended, but only in a writing signed by all <br />parties hereto, and provided such amendment does not affect the qualification of this <br />Conservation Easement or the status of the Grantee under any applicable laws, and is consistent <br />with the purposes of the Conservation Easement. <br />F. The parties recognize and agree that the benefits of this Conservation Easement are in <br />gross and assignable provided, however, that the Grantee hereby covenants and agrees, that in the <br />event it transfers or assigns this Conservation Easement, the organization receiving the interest <br />will be a qualified holder under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 121-34 et seq. and § 170(h) of the Internal <br />Revenue Code, and the Grantee further covenants and agrees that the terms of the transfer or <br />assignment will be such that the transferee or assignee will be required to continue in perpetuity <br />the conservation purposes described in this document. <br />V. QUIET ENJOYMENT <br />Grantor reserves all rights accruing from ownership of the Protected Property, including <br />the right to engage in or permit or invite others to engage in only those uses of the Easement Area <br />that are expressly reserved herein, not prohibited or restricted herein, and are not inconsistent <br />with the purposes of this Conservation Easement. Without limiting the generality of the <br />. foregoing, the Grantor expressly reserves to the Grantor, and the Grantor's invitees and licensees, <br />the right of access to the Easement Area, and the right of quiet enjoyment of the Easement Area. <br />
