(c) Grantee may, at its discretion and without prior notice to Grantor, convey, assign or transfer this Easement to a unit of federal, state or local government or to a similar local, state or national organization whose purposes, inter alia, are to promote preservation or conservation of historical, cultural or architectural resources, and which at the time of the conveyance, assignment or transfer, is a qualified organization under Section 17(h)(3) of the Code, provided that any such conveyance, assignment or transfer requires that the preservation and conservation purposes for which the Easement was granted will continue to be carried out. 9. Inspection. Grantor hereby agrees that representatives of Grantee shall be permitted at all reasonable times to inspect the Premises, including the Facades and the Buildings. Grantor agrees that representatives of Grantee shall be permitted to enter and inspect the interior of the Buildings to determine compliance with this Easement and maintenance of structural soundness and safety; inspection of the interior will not, in the absence of evidence of deterioration, take place more often than annually, and may involve reasonable testing of interior structural condition.
