Grantee's Covenants. The Grantee covenants that: 34 [Page 8 of 331 1 (a) Grantee is and will remain a qualified organization for purposes of Section 170(h) 2 of the Code.

The Grantor shall keep the premises insured by an insurance company having 12 a size of Class XIV or better and having a rating of"A+" or better by Best's Insurance Reports for 13 the full replacement value, if such policy is available, and, if not, for the full appraised value, 14 against loss from the perils commonly insured under standard fire and extended coverage policies 15 and comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death and 16 property damage of a type and in such amounts as would, in the opinion of Grantee, normally be 17 carried on a property such as the Premises protected by a preservation and conservation easement. 18 Such insurance shall include Grantee's interest and name Grantee as an additional insured and shall 19 provide for at least thirty (30) days' notice to Grantee before cancellation and that the act or 20 omission of one insured will not invalidate the policy as to the other insured party. Furthermore, 21 the Grantor shall deliver to the Grantee certificates evidencing the aforesaid insurance coverage at 22 the commencement of this grant and copies of new or renewed policies at least ten (10) days 23 prior to the expiration of such policy.

Upon request by Grantee, Grantor shall promptly furnish 4 Grantee with evidence of Grantor's compliance with any obligation of Grantor contained in 5 this Easement. 6 24. Stipulated Value of Grantee s Interest. Grantor acknowledges that upon execution and 7 recording of the Easement, Grantee shall be immediately vested with a real property interest in 8 the Premises and that such interest of Grantee shall have a stipulated fair market value,for purposes 9 of allocating net proceeds in an extinguishment pursuant to Paragraph 26, equal to the ratio 10 between the fair market value of the Easement and the Fair Market Value of the Premises prior to 11 considering the impact of the Easement(hereinafter the "Easement Percentage")as determined in 12 the Qualified Appraisal provided to the Grantee pursuant to Paragraph 25. Upon submission of the 13 Qualified Appraisal, the Grantor and Grantee shall sign an affidavit verifying the Easement 14 Percentage and record it as an amendment to the Easement. In the event Grantor does not claim a 15 charitable gift deduction for purposes of calculating federal income taxes and submit a Qualified 16 Appraisal, the Easement Percentage shall be 0%. 17 25. Qualified Appraisal. In the event Grantor claims a Federal I ncome Tax Deduction for 18 donation of a "qualified real property interest" as that term is defined in Section I 70(h) of the 19 Internal Revenue Code, Grantor shall provide Grantee with a copy of all appraisals (hereinafter, 20 the"Qualified Appraisal" as that term is defined in P.L. 98-369, 155(a), 98 Stat. 691 (1983), and 21 by reference of the Easement. Upon receipt of the Qualified Appraisal, this fully executed 22 Easement, and any endowment requested hereunder by Grantee (if any), Grantee shall sign any 23 appraisal summary form prepared by the Internal Revenue Service and submitted to the Grantee 24 by Grantor. 25 26. Extinguishment. Grantor and Grantee hereby recognize that an unexpected change in the 26 conditions surrounding the Premises may make impossible the continued ownership or use of the 27 Premises for the preservation and conservation purposes and necessitate extinguishment of the 28 Easement. Such a change in conditions includes but it not limited to partial or total destruction of the 29 Buildings or the Facades resulting from a casualty of such magnitude that Grantee approves demolition 30 as explained in Paragraphs 5,6 and 7,or condemnation or loss of title of all or a portion of the Premises, 31 the Buildings or the Facades. Such an extinguishment must be either the result of a final judicial 32 proceeding or have an Approval. Grantor shall be solely responsible for determining, reporting and 33 paying any taxes, penalties or other sums, in addition to the legal, taxes and other effects of any 34 extinguishment of the Easement. [Page 14 of 33] 1 27. Interpretation and Enforcement. The following provisions shall govern the 2 effectiveness, interpretation and duration of the Easement. 3 (a) Any rule of strict construction designed to limit the breadth of restrictions on 4 alienation or use of property shall not apply in the construction or interpretation of this 5 Easement, and this Easement shall be interpreted broadly to affect its preservation and 6 conservation purposes and the transfer of rights and the restrictions on use herein contained 7 as provided in the Act. 8 (b) This Easement shall extend to and be binding upon Grantor and all persons 9 hereafter claiming under or through Grantor, and the word "Grantor" when used herein 10 shall include all such persons, whether or not such persons have signed this Easement or 11 then have an interest in the Premises. Anything contained herein to the contrary 12 notwithstanding, a person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Easement where such 13 person shall cease to have any interest(present, partial, contingent, collateral or future) in 14 the Premises by reason of a bona fide transfer for full value, solely except for violations in 15 existence at the time of transfer, for which Grantor and all successors to Grantor shall be 16 jointly and severally responsible without necessity of joining all such responsible persons. 17 Any right, title or interest herein granted to Grantee also shall be deemed granted to each 18 successor and assign of Grantee and each such following successor and assign thereof,and 19 the word "Grantee" shall include all such successors and assigns. 20 (c) This Easement is executed in counterparts,each page of which(including exhibits) 21 has been initialed by Grantor and Grantee for purposes of identification. In the event of 22 any disparity between the counterparts produced,the recorded counterpart shall constitute 23 the agreement of the parties. 24 (d) Except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Easement grants, 25 nor shall be interpreted to grant,to the public any right to enter on the Premises or into the 26 Buildings. 27 (e) To the extent that Grantor owns or is entitled to development rights which may 28 exist now or at some time hereafter by reason of the fact that under any applicable zoning 29 or similar ordinance the Premises may be developed to use more intensive (in terms of 30 height,bulk or other objective\criteria regulated by such ordinances)than the Premises are 31 devoted as of the date hereof, such development rights shall not be exercisable on, 32 above or below the Premises during the term of the Easement, nor shall they be 33 transferred to any adjacent parcel and exercised in a manner that would interfere with 34 the preservation and conservation purposes of the Easement. [Page 15 of 33] 1 (f) For purposes of furthering the preservation of the Premises and Buildings and 2 of furthering the other purposes of this Easement, and to meet changing conditions, 3 Grantor and Grantee are free to amend jointly the terms of this instrument in writing 4 without notice to any party; provided, however, that no such amendment shall limit 5 the perpetual duration or interfere with the preservation and conservation purposes of 6 this Easement. Such amendment shall become effective upon recording among the real 7 estate records of the county where the Premises is located. 8 (g) the invalidity of any statute providing authority for Grantee to enter into this 9 Easement or any part of this Easement shall not affect the validity and enforceability 10 of the remaining portions of this Easement according to its terms, it being the intent 11 of the parties to agree and to bind themselves, their successors and their assigns in 12 perpetuity to each term of this Easement whether this Easement be enforceable by 13 reason of an statue, common law or private agreement either in existence now or at 14 any time subsequent hereto. 15 (h) Nothing contained in this Easement shall be interpreted to authorize or permit 16 Grantor IO violate any ordinance or regulation relating to building materials, 17 construction methods or use. In the event of any conflict between any such ordinance 18 or regulation and the terms hereof, Grantor promptly shall notify Grantee of such 19 conflict and shall cooperate with Grantee and the applicable governmental entity to 20 accommodate the purposes of both this instrument and such ordinance or regulation. 21 (i) This Easement reflects the entire agreement of Grantor and Grantee. Any prior 22 or simultaneous correspondence, undertakings, agreements and representations are 23 null and void upon execution hereof, unless set out in this instrument. 24 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, on the date first shown above, Grantor has caused this Preservation 25 and Conservation Easement to be executed, sealed and delivered; and Grantee has caused this 26 instrument to be accepted, sealed and executed in its corporate name by its Director and attested by its 27 Secretary. 28 GRANTORS: 29 CHRISTIAN MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE 30 31 By: 32 Vernon E.
