Orange County retains the right to, periodically and every 30 years after the first recording of the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants on the Property to register, with the Register of Deeds of Orange County, a notice of preservation of the Restrictive Covenants on the Property as provided in North Carolina General Statute § 47B-4 or any comparable preservation law in effect at the time of the recording of the notice of preservation. It is the intent of this Section that the ninety-nine (99) year duration of this Declaration of Restrictive Covenants be accomplished and that any future owner of the Property, Owner, and Orange County will do what is necessary to ensure that the same is not extinguished by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 41-29 or any comparable law purporting to extinguish, by the passage of time, preemptive rights in the Property and by the Real Property Marketable Title Act or any comparable law purporting to extinguish, by the passage of time, non-possessory interests in real property.
