For the <br /> term of this Declaration, each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter <br /> executed conveying the Property or portion thereof shall expressly provide that such <br /> conveyance is subject to this Declaration, provided, however, the covenants contained <br /> herein shall survive and be effective,regardless of whether such contracts, deed, or other <br /> instrument hereafter executed conveying the Property or portion thereof provides that <br /> such conveyance is subject to this Declaration. It is further the responsibility of Owner to <br /> rerecord the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants periodically and no less often than one <br /> day less than every 30 years from the date hereof for the purpose of renewing the rights of <br /> first refusal in the Property or portion thereof including any leasehold interest in the <br /> Property or portion thereof. Orange County retains the right to, periodically and every 30 <br /> years after the first recording of the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants on the Property <br /> to register, with the Register of Deeds of Orange County, a notice of preservation of the <br /> Restrictive Covenants on the Property as provided in North Carolina General Statute § <br /> 47134 or any comparable preservation law in effect at the time of the recording of the <br /> notice of preservation. It is the intent of this Section that the ninety-nine (99) year <br /> duration of this Declaration of Restrictive Covenants be accomplished and that any future <br /> owner of the Property, Habitat, and Orange County will do what is necessary to ensure <br /> that the same is not extinguished by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 41-29 or any comparable law <br /> purporting to extinguish, by the passage of time, preemptive rights in the Property and by <br /> the Real Property Marketable Title Act or any comparable law purporting to extinguish, <br /> by the passage of time, non-possessory interests in real property. Any future owner, <br /> Habitat and Orange County agree to do what each must do to accomplish the ninety-nine <br /> (99)year duration of this Declaration of Restrictive Covenants. <br /> SECTION 4 ENFORCEMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS <br /> A.
