It is agreed that the description of the location of the easement may be subject to change at the time of actual laying out and construction of the Trail by the Town.. Changes in the course may be made for the purpose of adapting to natural features of the terrain, current uses of the adjoining lands by Grantor or adjacent owners, or pre-existing utility easements. In no event, however, shall the width of the easement exceed 66 feet (except as shown on the annexed sketch) nor shall the location of the easement upon grantor's property be moved from where it appears on the annexed sketch more than 10 feet from grantor's easterly boundary line without further written consent of grantor. 2. Grantor reserves the underlying fee title to said property covered by said easement, subject to the rights and privileges herein granted to the Town. 3. Whenever any work is done on the Grantor's premises, the Town, at no expenses to the owner of such premises, will remove all debris and will restore the land surrounding the Trail to substantially the same condition it was in before any such work was done. If any damage is caused to the Grantor's property or if such property has not been properly restored by the Town, the Grantor shall give prompt and due notice in writing to the Town at the Town of Ithaca offices at 126 East Seneca Street, Ithaca, New York, immediately following any such damage or failure to restore the property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent the Town from installing a trailway, planting vegetation within the easement area, excavating or modifying the terrain within the easement area, and making modifications and changes to the property over which the Trail itself actually passes without being obliged to restore such property to the prior condition. 4. Grantor reserves the right to change the location of the easement herein granted, subject to the approval of the Town, upon providing a mutually acceptable alternate course for the Trail and constructing the same at Grantor's expense. 5. Grantor warrants that Grantor has title to the property over which an easement is being given by this instrument, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever unless specifically set forth in this agreement. 6. If Grantor is a corporation, Grantor represents and warrants that the conveyance provided for in this instrument has been duly authorized by the directors of the Grantor and that this conveyance does not constitute a conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of Grantor. • 0 • • BARNEY.OROSSMAN ROTH 6 DUBOW ATTORN[YS AT LAW „I NO11TM t100A 8"99T P.O.

In the event the trail shall remain unused for a period of five (5) years, this easement shall terminate and the Town shall execute and convey to grantor documents sufficient in grantor's judgment to convey to grantor the trail rights in and to the property. The Town. shall not be obliged, however, to convey any rights relating to underground sewer or water lines that have heretofore or may hereafter be laid within the bounds of the easement and any conveyance of the trail rights shall be made subject to reserving rights to the maintenance, repair, and replacement of any sewer or water lines that are installed at the time of such conveyance. 8. The property shall be used for recreational, sewer and water purposes only and the Town shall not permit vehicles other than bicycles, maintenance and emergency vehicles to use the trail (except during the course of construction at which time construction vehicles may'also use the same). The Town agrees that the Town's rules and regulations regarding trails shall apply to the trail contained within the easement given by this instrument. 9. Each of the parties agree to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any and all costs, damages, or expense (including although not limited to legal fees) arising out of any claim, suit or proceeding for injury to persons or property brought against the indemnified party in which it is ultimately determined that the loss, damage, or expense was due to the negligence or willful act of the other (the indemnifying) party. In the event such parties are found to be jointly liable, each party agrees to pay their allocable share of such loss as ultimately determined by the Court based upon their pro -rats portion of the fault giving rise to the damages for which a claim is made. 10. In the event grantor at any time seeks to transfer the fee title to all or any portion of the property over which an easement is given by this instrument Grantor hereby grants to the Town a right of first refusal to match or better the terms of any bonafide offer to purchase received by Grantor. Grantor shall deliver a copy of such offer to the Town and shall certify that Grantor will accept said offer and transfer the property in accordance with the terms of said offer if the Town does not exercise its right to purchase. Said offer shall be from a party unrelated to the Grantor and shall be from a bonafide purchaser for value. The Town shall have 60 days from the date of receipt of such offer and certification to advise Grantor whether the Town will purchase the property on the same terms and conditions (or, if one of the terms calls for financing of the property, at the Town's option the Town may elect to purchase the property at the same price and pay cash at 3 ,•�:�hrr swop..RjC.^NJ8't1I'�MI'"<RW.+,"QVM"w+/N'!q�xrMp."+s4'�'M.'M+M>.Ma.t�.wvNnwr�wr�..r.+ww+awaaiwarn.r^,.+�-�+w•�m ..,:..m r,.., ,,enr�..w�. a. .er e:.,,c:.wrw,ax�,.wv .v.. .,www;�tl+;str� ,.,,...aa.,:nrww. ., ,.. ..-.: 646 %a u iA 0 i obi✓ 0 c ?a; +- u O = iARNEY, GROSSMAN.
