F <br /> contained herein shall survive and be effective regardless of whether such contracts, deed, or <br /> other instrument hereafter executed conveying the Property or portion thereof provides that such <br /> conveyance is subject to this Declaration. It is further the responsibility of Owner to rerecord the <br /> Declaration of Restrictive Covenants periodically and no less often than one day less than every <br /> 30 years from the date hereof for the purpose of renewing the rights of first refusal in the <br /> Property or portion thereof including any leasehold interest in the Property or portion thereof. <br /> Orange County retains the right to, periodically and every 30 years after the first recording of the <br /> Declaration of Restrictive Covenants on the Property to register, with the Register of Deeds of <br /> Orange County, a notice of preservation of the Restrictive Covenants on the Property as provided <br /> in North Carolina General Statute § 47B-4 or any comparable preservation law in effect at the <br /> time of the recording of the notice of preservation. It is the intent of this Section that the 99 year <br /> duration of this Declaration of Restrictive Covenants be accomplished and that any future owner <br /> of the Property, Habitat, and Orange County will do what is necessary to ensure that the same is <br /> not extinguished by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 41-29 or any comparable law purporting to extinguish, by <br /> the passage of time, preemptive rights in the Property and by the Real Property Marketable Title <br /> Act or any comparable law purporting to extinguish, by the passage of time, non possessory <br /> interests in real property. Any future owner, Habitat and Orange County agree to do what each <br /> must do to accomplish the 99-year duration of this Declaration of Restrictive Covenants. <br /> SECTION 4 ENFORCEMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING <br /> REQUIREMENTS <br /> A.
