The rights and remedies of Grantee provided hereunder shall be in addition to, and <br />not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to Grantee in connection with this <br />Conservation Easement, including, without limitation, those set forth in the Grant Contract under <br />which this Conservation Easement was obtained. <br /> <br /> B. Access for Inspection and Right of Entry. Grantee shall have the right, by and <br />through its agents and employees, to enter the Property to inspect the Property for compliance <br />with this Conservation Easement at all reasonable times and with prior notice and, if necessary, <br />cross other lands owned by Grantor for the purposes of (1) inspecting the Property to determine <br />if Grantor is complying with this Conservation Easement and its purposes, (2) enforcing the <br />terms of this Conservation Easement, (3) taking any and all actions with respect to the Property <br />as may be necessary or appropriate with or without order of the Court, to remedy or abate <br />violations hereof, and (4) making scientific and educational observations and studies and taking <br />samples in such a manner as will not disturb the quiet enjoyment of the Property by Grantor. <br /> <br />C. Termination and Proceeds of Property Rights Created. This Conservation <br />Easement gives rise to a property right that is immediately vested in Grantee at the time of <br />recordation, with a fair market value that is at least equal to the proportionate value that the <br />Conservation Easement bears to the full value of the whole Property, as if unencumbered by the <br />Conservation Easement, on the date of the recording of this Conservation Easement. This <br />proportionate value shall remain constant. For the purposes of determining any distribution of <br />proceeds pursuant to this Paragraph, Grantor’s proportionate contribution to the purchase price <br />shall be deemed to be 49%, and Grantee’s proportionate contribution to the purchase price shall <br />be deemed to be 51%. “Proceeds of Sale” shall include, but not be limited to, the cash value of <br />all money and property paid, transferred, or contributed in consideration for, or as otherwise <br />required as a condition to, the taking of, sale of, exchange of, involuntary conversion of, or <br />severance damages to the Property or part thereof, and any money, damages, or just <br />compensation otherwise awarded as a result of judicial proceedings. If any Proceeds of Sale are <br />due, payable, or otherwise obligated to the United States government or any department or <br />agency thereof related to funding provided to Grantor, then any such obligation shall be paid or <br />satisfied solely from Grantor’s portion of the Proceeds of Sale. <br /> <br />1.

Grantee, its <br />successors and assigns, shall be entitled to its proportionate share of the Proceeds of Sale <br />according to Grantee’s proportional interest in the value of the Property as determined <br />Docusign Envelope ID: F21173B5-89BA-402D-A035-40030539EB5E
