I. WHAT IS AN EASEMENT?

A. Definition. A good working definition states that an easement is a nonpossessory interest in land owned by another to use the land for a specific purpose without profit. Elements:

1. Nonpossessory.

2. Interest in land.

3. Owned by another.

4. To use the land for a specific purpose.

5. Without profit.

B. Benefits and burdens. Every easement has a benefit and a burden.

1. The benefit consists of the easement rights granted to the easement holder over somebody else's land.

2. The burden is the obligation imposed on the owner of the land that is subject to the easement.

3. Examples:

a. Where Parcel A is served by an access easement over Parcel B, Parcel A benefits from the easement in that the owner of Parcel A has the right to drive over Parcel B. Parcel B is burdened by the easement since the Parcel A owner can drive over Parcel B.

b. The telephone company has an easement to put an overhead line over a farmer's property. The telephone company enjoys the benefit of this easement and the farmer is subject to the burdens of this easement.

c. Where there is a party wall easement that provides for joint maintenance of a common wall between two buildings, the owner of each building is both burdened and benefited by the easement.

C. Easements appurtenant vs. easements in gross.

1. Easements appurtenant are easements where the benefit of the easement runs with a particular piece of property.

a. For every easement appurtenant, there is a "benefited" property and a "burdened" property. With an easement appurtenant, when you transfer the benefited property, the easement goes along with the property even if it is not specifically mentioned in the deed. All who possess, or who succeed to title to the benefited property become, by virtue of the fact of possession, entitled to the benefit of the easement.

b. There can be no conveyance of the easement right apart from the conveyance of the benefited property.

c. Example: a driveway over Parcel B for the benefit of Parcel A.

2. Easements in gross. With an easement in gross, there is no "benefited property." There is only a benefited easement holder.

a. An easement in gross runs to a named easement holder who can assign these rights to some other party irrespective of whether the beneficiary owns any particular land.

b. Example: a utility easement runs to the utility, not to the owner of any particular lands.

3. There is a judicial preference in favor of easements appurtenant over easements in gross.

D. Easements are used for numerous purposes, such as:

1. Pedestrian and vehicular ingress/egress.

2. Utilities.

3. View corridors.

4. Building setbacks.

5. Temporary construction.

6. Subjacent and lateral support.

7. Party walls.

8. Use of airspace.

a. Avigation easements near airports.

b. Tower crane "overswing" rights.

II. CREATION OF EASEMENTS.

A. There are a number of ways in which easements are created.

1. Express grant.

2. Implied easements.

3. Necessity.

4. Prescription.

5. Notations on plats and certified survey maps.

6. Condemnation.

7. Vacation of streets.

B. Express grants are the easiest and most common way in which to create an easement.

1. An express easement must be granted by the owner of the property that will be burdened by the easement.

2. Since an express grant is an interest in land, the statute of frauds applies (Section 706.05, Wis. Statutes).

a. The general rule, 706.05(2m)(a), is that an easement must have a full legal description.

b. But: Section 706.05(2m)(b) provides an exception to the general rule, and states that the requirement of a full legal description does not apply to descriptions of easements for the construction, operation or

Page 6: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 4

maintenance of electric, gas, railroad, water, telecommunications or telephone lines or facilities.

3. An easement may be a separate document or it may be created by the addition of easement language to a deed.

C. Implied easements are easements that are created where the actions of all of the parties suggest that everybody intended that an easement should have been created, but that everybody simply forgot to write it down. An implied easement may be created when the following circumstances exist:

1. The grantor owns a piece of property that is served by a common improvement--such as a roadway or a utility conduit.

2. The grantor then slices off a chunk of the property and conveys it to a grantee but forgets to grant an easement for the common improvement.

3. The rule in Wisconsin is that for an implied easement to exist, the easement must be so absolutely necessary that without the easement, the grantee cannot enjoy the use of the property granted. Bullis v. Schmidt, 5 Wis.2d 457 (1959).

4. Implied easements are also called "quasi-easements" and are disfavored. There are some old cases in Wisconsin that say that implied easements simply don't exist in Wisconsin. Scheeler v. Dewerd, 256 Wis. 428 (1950). However, more recent cases say that they do exist. Stoesser v. Shore Drive Partnership, 172 Wis.2d 660 (1993); Bullis v. Schmidt, 5 Wis.2d 457 (1959).

D. Ways of Necessity.

1. A way of necessity may be created when the grantor conveys lands that have no outlet to a public road except over the remaining lands of the seller. The grantee will then have the right to go across the grantor's lands to get to the road at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

2. This is a little different from an implied easement because with an implied easement, the location of the easement is known. Remember that an implied easement always involves

Page 7: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 5

some preexisting physical improvement, such as a road. A way of necessity doesn't require a physical improvement.

3. Also, a way of necessity will cease to exist when the necessity ceases to exist.

4. Is an easement by necessity created when the act of landlocking a parcel of land is the act of the owner of the landlocked parcel rather than the owner of the parcel lying between the landlocked parcel and the public right of way? According to McCormick v. Schubring, 267 Wis. 2d 141 (Wis. 2003), it depends on "balancing the equities" of the two sides. Note, though, that the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in AKG v. Kosterman, rejected equitable considerations and balancing tests in express easements.

E. Easements by Prescription. Prescription is the fancy legal term for "squatter's rights." Just as the law recognizes squatter’s rights as they apply to fee simple title, they also recognize squatter’s rights as they apply to easements. To establish an easement by prescription in Wisconsin, you must have:

1. Adverse use that is hostile or inconsistent with the exercise of the title holder's rights. The opposite of a hostile use is a permissive use. County of Langlade v. Kaster, 202 Wis.2d 449 (Wis.App.1996).

2. Such use must be visible, open and notorious. This means that you can't acquire a right to a walkway easement by using a path in the middle of the night when nobody can see you. County of Langlade, supra.

3. There must be an open claim of right.

4. The adverse use must be continuous and uninterrupted for a period of 20 years.

5. But: if the squatter is a domestic corporation organized to furnish telegraph or telecommunications service or transmit heat, power or electric current to the public or for public purposes, or a cooperative organized to furnish telegraph or telecommunications service or to transmit heat, power or electric current to its members, the period is shortened to 10

10527518 6

years. Section 893.28(2), Wisconsin Statutes. Furthermore, this shorter period applies to permissive uses. Williams v. American Transmission Company, 306 Wis.2d 181 (Wis. App. 2007). In that case, an agreement that permitted an electric utility to construct and maintain electrical poles and transmission lines on a landowner's property made that right s revocable upon 30 days' written notice. The Court of Appeals held that the agreement met the terms of 893.28(2), and that use by the utility of the property for more than 10 years established the prescriptive use.

F. Easements Created by Plat. Easements can be created by the placement of notations on the plat.

1. If a plat shows easements, streets, rights of way, and common areas, and the plat is recorded, this automatically gives each person who purchases a lot the right to use all of the easements, streets, rights of way, and common areas that are shown on the plat. Threedy v. Brennan, 131 F.2d 488 (C.C.A. Wis.1943).

2. Under Section 236.293 of the Wisconsin Statutes, if any municipality or governmental authority requires that a note be placed on a plat as part of the plat approval process, then the note is deemed to be for the benefit of that authority and can be altered only with the consent of the authority that required the note to be put on the plat. This has the effect of making easements on plats not only easements appurtenant, in that they run in favor of all of the other lots on the plat, but easements in gross, in that they run to the various governmental authorities as well.

G. Condemnation. Easements can be created by condemnation by authorities that have the power of condemnation. These include just about all governmental authorities (the state, cities, villages, townships, school districts, vocational school districts) and public utilities (sewerage districts, power companies, pipeline companies, telephone companies, gas companies).

H. Vacation of Streets. Easements can be created by the opening of streets, installation of public utilities within the streets, and the subsequent vacation of streets. This is how it works:

Page 9: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 7

1. Under Sections 86.16 and 66.1005(2) of the Wisconsin Statutes, any person may, with the consent of the department of transportation (in the case of state highways), or with the written consent of local authorities (in the case of highways under their jurisdiction), construct and operate telegraph, telephone or electric lines, or pipes or pipelines for the purpose of transmitting messages, water, heat, light or power along, across or within the limits of the highway.

2. Under Section 66.1005(2) of the Wisconsin Statutes, whenever any public highway is vacated, the easements and rights incidental thereto acquired by or belonging to any county, school district, town, village or city, or to any utility or person in any underground or above-ground structures, and all rights of entrance, maintenance, construction and repair of the same shall continue, unless:

a. the holder of such rights consents to the discontinuance or the order of vacation;

b. the discontinuance of the easements and rights by the owner thereof is a part of the discontinuance resolution (in which case the owner of such rights is entitled to damages); or

c. the owner of such rights fails to use the same for a period of four years from the time that the public highway was vacated.

In short, a utility can acquire easement rights by installing improvements within a public highway. Once the highway is vacated the easement rights remain unless separately terminated.

III. INTERPRETATION ISSUES.

A. Overburdening the easement.

1. By increasing the intensity of the use. Suppose, for example, that the easement is a farm road in favor of a 40-acre parcel. 30 years later, development has moved closer to the 40-acre parcel and the benefited owner wants to subdivide the parcel into 60 lots. There are no Wisconsin cases on point. What

Page 10: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 8

may have been contemplated as a road serving a single farmette can end up being used to serve a 40-lot subdivision, and in that case, is the increase in the burden reasonable? Cases from other jurisdictions state that the parties are assumed to have intended a scope that would reasonably serve the purposes of the grant and to have foreseen reasonable changes in the use of the burdened property. What's important is the reasonable expectations of the parties at the time the easement is entered into.

2. By extending its use to other lands.

a. General rule: an easement for a right of way cannot be enlarged to benefit additional lands without the consent of the burdened owner. Sicchio v. Alvey, 10 Wis. 2d 528 (1960).

b. What happens if benefited owner acquires additional adjacent lands?

i. Gojmerac v. Mahn, 2002 WI App 22, 250 Wis. 2d 1: "an easement cannot be enlarged to include property acquired after creation of the dominant estate."

ii. Millen v. Thomas, 204 Wis. 2d 321 (Ct. App. 1996): subsequent acquisition of property adjacent to a benefited parcel does not, in itself, overburden the easement to the point that the easement should be extinguished.

iii. Grygiel v. Monches Fish & Game Club, Inc., 328 Wis.2d 436 (Wis. 2010): travel between benefited parcel and nonbenefited parcel held to overburden easement and give rise to an action for trespass.

iv. Nettesheim v. S.G. New Age Products, Inc., 2005 WI App 169: a benefited lot was subdivided and conveyed to owners of an adjacent lot. Court says, nice try, but no.

3. By making improvements to it.

Page 11: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 9

a. Beneficiary has the right to make reasonable repairs and improvements. Knuth v. Vogels, 265 Wis. 341 (1953).

b. Beneficiary may even have a duty to repair and maintain an easement. Shanak v. City of Waupaca, 185 Wis. 2d 568 (Ct. App. 1994).

B. Right to relocate the easement.

1. Common law rule: court cannot change location because of changed needs. Guse v. Flohr, 195 Wis. 139 (1928).

2. Third Restatement: burdened owner should be allowed to relocate the easement if:

a. The relocation does not substantially interfere with the use and enjoyment of the easement by the benefited owner, and

b. The benefited owner pays for relocation costs.

3. AKG v. Kosterman: sticks to common law rule. Also, rejects balancing test. 296 Wis. 2d 1 (2006).

C. Purpose of easement.

1. "Access." Atkinson v. Mentzel, 211 Wis. 2d 628. Said "access for all purposes excluding retail sales" includes utility access as well as pedestrian and vehicular access.

2. Ingress and egress.

D. Location and width.

1. If the location of a right of way is indefinitely described, the conduct of the parties can determine where the location will be. F. W. Woolworth Co. v. Vogelsang, 176 Wis. 366 (1922).

2. If document is unambiguous, the court will not go outside the four corners of the document. Eckendorf v. Austin, 239 Wis. 2d 69 (Ct. App. 2000).

Page 12: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 10

3. What if there's a discrepancy between the written document and the actual use of easement?

a. Eckendorf: although actual use of a 30-foot right of way was 24 feet in width, benefited party could remove obstructions within the entire 30-foot strip.

b. What if easement covers 40-acre parcel? or 300-foot wide strip?

E. Interference with the easement.

1. Landowner cannot unreasonably interfere with the use of the easement by the easement holder. An obstruction or disturbance of an easement is anything which wrongfully interferes with the privilege to which the owner of the easement is entitled by making its use less convenient and beneficial than before; obstructions or disturbances are unauthorized and constitute nuisances. Hunter v. McDonald, 78 Wis. 2d 338 (1977).

2. Figliuzzi v. Carcajou Shooting Club of Lake Koshkonong, 184 Wis. 2d 572 (Wis. 1994): hunt club that had rights to hunt and fish on the burdened property successfully enjoined condominium construction that would have interfered with its activities.

3. What if there are no actual damages? Jacque v. Steenberg Homes, Inc., 209 Wis. 2d 605 (1997) upheld an award of $100,000 in punitive damages where actual damages were only $1.00.

F. Easements for riparian rights

1. Background.

a. Riparian owner: "one who holds title to land abutting a body of water."

b. Riparian rights: the right of access to the water, the right to construct piers from their lands into the water, and the right to use the shore for bathing, boating or kindred purposes.

Page 13: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 11

2. Common law rules.

a. An easement to use shorelands did not make the easement holder a riparian owner.

b. BUT: the courts recognized that a riparian owner could grant riparian rights to non-riparian owners via easement.

3. Statutory modifications to common law rules.

a. In 1990, Section 30.131, Wis. Stats. was enacted. This section allows a non-riparian owner to maintain a wharf or a pier based on an easement for water access that was recorded before December 31, 1986, provided that certain conditions are met.

b. In 1994, Section 30.133 was enacted. This section states that no owner of riparian land that abuts a navigable water may convey, by easement or by a similar conveyance, any riparian right in the land to another person, except for the right to cross the land in order to have access to the water. This right to cross the land may not include the right to place any structure or material in the navigable water.

c. In 2007, Section 30.1335 was enacted to prohibit use of "marina condominiums" after June 1, 2007. A "marina condominium" is one in which the common elements, limited common elements, or condominium units consist of, or include, boat docking facilities, and to which either or both of the following apply:

i. One or more of the boat docking facilities is not appurtenant to a dwelling.

ii. None of the condominium units are dwellings.

4. There can be multiple riparian owners (tenants in common, owners of condominium units).

5. All pier rights are subject to DNR rules and regulations.

Page 14: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 12

6. Anchor Point Condominium Owner's Ass'n v. Fish Tale Properties, LLC, 313 Wis. 2d 592 (Ct. App. 2008) held that the right to "use" a pier was a riparian right that could not be granted by a riparian owner to a nonriparian owner.

G. Easements arising by operation of law: with implied easements and prescriptive easements, the scope of these easements is determined by the use of the property at the time of the inception of their use.

IV. TERMINATION.

A. Wisconsin courts do not favor forfeitures of easements. Vieth v. Dorsch, 274 Wis. 17 (1956). Misuse of an easement may create liability for damages but will usually not result in the court-ordered termination of the easement. Exception: where the easement by its own terms provides the landowner with this remedy.

B. In the case of an easement appurtenant, merger of ownership of burdened and benefited properties.

C. Termination agreement. Needs to follow the same formalities of an express grant--signed by the party who is giving up the easement, compliance with the statute of frauds, compliance with recording niceties, etc. The $64,000 question often is, who are the parties giving up the easement? Particularly with easements created by plat, or with statutory easements, this can be a difficult question to answer.

D. Prescription. Just as you can create an easement by making adverse use of an owner's property, the owner, by taking action that is inconsistent with your use of the easement and continuing to do so openly, notoriously, adversely, and continuously for the requisite number of years, can cause you to lose your prescriptive easement.

E. Condemnation. Easements can be condemned out.

F. Cessation of the necessity (in the case of ways of necessity).

G. Easements created by plats. To remove an easement that has been created by a notation on a plat, you need to determine:

1. Who is the beneficiary of the easement?

Page 15: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

10527518 13

a. If it's "all public utilities," then you need to obtain releases from every public utility serving the area in question.

b. If it could arguably be for the benefit of all of the lots, then you need to have all of the owners and mortgagees and everyone else having an interest in all of the lots grant releases.

2. Was the easement required as a condition to plat approval by one of the approving authorities? If so, you need to have that approving authority consent to the release.

a. This rule makes sense; otherwise the private lot owners could agree amongst themselves to remove an easement that was required because it fulfills some public purpose (such as a detention basin easement).

b. It's not always easy to find the municipal records that give the history of the plat. Thus, you may not be able to find out if the easement was required as a condition to plat approval.

H. Acquisition of title by bona fide purchaser without notice.

1. Section 706.08(1)(a), Wis. Stats. provides that every conveyance (which includes easements) that is not recorded "shall be void as against any subsequent purchaser in good faith and for a valuable consideration of the same real estate or any portion thereof whose conveyance shall first be duly recorded." Purchasers only have to go back 30 years in searching title. Section 706.09(1)(k), Wis. Stats.

2. So: under this general rule, if an easement is more than 30 years old and has not been referred to in a document recorded within the last 30 years, a bona fide purchaser for value who buys the property unaware of the easement takes the property free of the easement.

3. BUT: there is an exception for any outstanding interest in real estate owned, occupied, or used by a public service corporation, water carrier, electrical cooperative, the United

States, the State of Wisconsin or any subdivision of either. Section 706.09(3), Wis. Stats.

RECIPROCAL AIRSPACE EASEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (for use of tower crane)

Re: Property described on Exhibits A, B, C and D

Return to: Tax Parcel Nos. : See Exhibits A, B, C and D

Page 18: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

THIS RECIPROCAL AIRSPACE EASEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION

AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into this ____ day of ______________, 20_____, by and among __________________ ("Owner A"), _______________ ("Owner B"), _________________ ("Owner C"), and ("Owner D").

RECITALS A. Owner A is the owner of certain real property located in the City of Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin, as described on the attached Exhibit A ("Owner A Property"). B. Owner B is the owner of certain real property located in the City of Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin, as described on the attached Exhibit B ("Owner B Property").

C. Owner C is the owner of certain real property located in the City of Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin, as described on the attached Exhibit C ("Owner C Property").

D. Owner D is the owner of certain real property located in the City of

Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin, as described on the attached Exhibit D ("Owner D Property").

E. The properties described on Exhibits A, B, C and D are referred to

individually as a "Property" and collectively as the "Properties." F. Owner A, Owner B, Owner C and Owner D (individually a "Party" and

collectively the "Parties") desire to grant each other airspace easement rights over their respective Properties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. As used in this Agreement, each Party that desires to construct improvements on its Property is referred to as an "Owner," all Parties other than Owner are referred to as "Neighbors," the Property owned by the Owner is referred to as the "Owner's Property," and the property owned by the Neighbors are collectively referred to as the "Neighbors' Property."

2. Each Owner shall have a nonexclusive airspace easement over the

Neighbors' Property and any improvements now or in the future constructed

Page 19: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

14324436 3

thereon to allow for the passage of a construction crane, mobile crane, other lifting device or hanging scaffolding over the Neighbors' Property for the purpose of the construction, maintenance or repair of improvements on the Owner's Property.

3. If two or more Parties desire to simultaneously construct improvements on their respective properties, then the first Party to obtain a building permit shall be deemed the Owner, and the other Party or Parties shall be deemed the Neighbor. In such case, the Neighbor may not exercise the airspace easement over the Owner's Property in any manner that materially delays, prevents, or increases the cost of, the construction of the improvements on the Owner's Property until the Owner completes construction on Owner's Property. If the exercise of the airspace easement by the Neighbor would increase the cost of the construction of improvements on the Owner's Property but would not materially delay or prevent such construction of improvements on the Owner's Property, then the Neighbor shall be permitted to proceed with the exercise of its easement rights provided it reimburses the Owner for such increased costs. The Owner and Neighbor shall cooperate with each other during any simultaneous construction to minimize costs and delays to each other's projects.

4. At all times that any Owner is using the airspace easement as set forth above, the Owner shall maintain liability insurance in the minimum amount of $2,000,000 naming each of the Neighbors as additional insureds covering injury to persons and damage to their Properties resulting from the setting up, standing and operation, and taking down of said construction crane, mobile crane, lifting device, hanging scaffolding and appurtenances thereto. The policy of liability insurance shall provide that said policy cannot be terminated or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to each additional insured. Prior to the setting up of any construction crane, mobile crane, lifting device, or hanging scaffolding, the Owner shall have provided each of the Neighbors with a copy of said policy of insurance.

8.3 Failure to Pay Taxes. Grantee’s or Owner’s failure to pay the taxes for which they are obligated hereunder prior to delinquency shall constitute a default hereunder, provided that Grantee receives the Tax bill from Owner in a timely manner consistent with Section 8.1. In the event of such a default, the non-defaulting party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default by payment of those Taxes which are due. If the Grantee is the defaulting party, Owner shall be entitled to add such payments to Use Fees due hereunder and such amount shall immediately become due and payable by Grantee, together with interest equal to Bank of America’s prime rate plus five percent (5%) and penalties. If the Owner is the defaulting party, Grantee shall be entitled to offset such payments against Use Fees due hereunder, together with interest plus penalties as calculated above.

8.4 Grantee’s Right to Contest Taxes. Grantee may contest the legal validity or amount of any such Taxes, assessments, or other charges for which it is responsible under this Agreement, and may institute such proceedings as it considers necessary, provided that Grantee shall bear all expenses in pursuing such contest or proceeding. Owner agrees to render to Grantee all reasonable assistance, at no cost or expense whatsoever to Owner, in contesting the validity or amount of any such Taxes, assessments or charges, including joining in the signing of any reasonable protests or pleadings which Grantee may reasonably deem advisable to file.

9.4 Grantee’s Authority. The Grantee has the unrestricted right and authority to execute this Agreement and to grant to Owner the rights granted hereunder.

9.5 Conservation Programs. To the extent Grantee's installation or construction of

the Wind Power Facilities requires the removal of any of the Property from participation in the Conservation Reserve Program or similar program in which the Property was enrolled and qualified at the time Grantee's applicable installation or construction began on the Property, and Owner incurs any penalties or reimbursement obligations to the government agency administering such conservation program, Grantee agrees to reimburse Owner the amount of such penalties or pay any such amounts on behalf of Owner. Owner shall notify Grantee of any new areas of the Property that become qualified and enrolled in any such conservation program(s) after the Effective Date within five (5) days of such qualification and enrollment and shall also notify Grantee of any such penalties for which Grantee is responsible under this Section 9.5, together with an accounting and copies of the underlying documentation and billing and receipts within five (5) days after receipt of notice of such penalties.

None of the Permitted Encumbrances (nor the exercise of any rights by any parties pursuant thereto) will interfere with Grantee’s use of the Property hereunder. Owner has not employed any broker or finder who would be entitled to receive any commission, finders’ fee or other consideration as a result of the execution of this Agreement.

10.2 Title Insurance.

In the event that Owner fails to remove any such lien or provide such a bond or security in accordance with this Section 10.7, Grantee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove such lien or post such bond or security, and Owner shall reimburse Grantee for the costs thereof promptly upon the receipt of written demand for such reimbursement.

however, that if Owner is not able to obtain an executed indemnity and waiver of liability from any individual that is hunting on the Property, Grantee shall have the right to remove such individual from the Property to the extent Grantee determines that the hunting activities threaten the safety of Grantee or Grantee’s employees, agents, contractors, and other invitees to the Property.

If Owner is unable to obtain a satisfactory agreement from the Fee Mortgagee, (a) Grantee may terminate this Agreement by giving ten (10) days’ prior notice of such termination to Owner, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligation to the other party hereunder except as expressly set forth herein, or (b) if Grantee elects not to terminate this Agreement, and in the event of Owner’s default under the Fee Mortgage, Grantee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make payments in fulfillment of Owner’s obligations to the Fee Mortgagee and may offset the amount of such payments from Use Fees and any other amounts due to Owner under this Agreement.

14. Crop Farmer Consent Contingency.

17. Easement Mortgages, Assignments, Licenses and Cure.

17.1 Right to Mortgage and Assign. Grantee and any Assignee (as defined below) shall have the right, without Owner’s prior consent or approval, at any time and from time to time, to mortgage, collaterally assign, or otherwise encumber and grant security interests in all or any part of its interest in this Agreement, the easements granted hereunder, the Grantee’s interest in the Property, or the Wind Power Facilities (holders of these various security interests are referred to as “Easement Mortgagees”) provided that the foregoing shall not entitle Grantee to encumber Owner’s fee interest in the Property, except as provided in this Agreement, and provided that any such assignment by Grantee shall not release Grantee from its obligations hereunder unless Grantee and Assignee expressly agree to such a release in writing. Grantee, any Assignee and any Easement Mortgagee which has succeeded to Grantee’s interests under this Agreement shall also have the right, without Owner’s prior consent or approval, at any time and from time to time, to sell, convey, assign, partially assign or grant licenses over the whole or any portion or portions of its interest in the Property for the uses permitted under this Agreement, or grant, easements, licenses or similar rights (however denominated) to one or more Persons (collectively, “Assignees”). Following any such sale, conveyance, assignment or license, the term “Grantee” shall be deemed to include each “Assignee” then holding Grantee’s interest in this Agreement or the Property, except that, to the extent that Grantee’s consent or approval is required hereunder, Owner shall only be required to obtain consent from the Grantee that is party to this Agreement. However, no Easement Mortgagee, or Assignee shall by virtue of Grantee’s conveyance to it acquire any greater interest in the Property than Grantee then has under this Agreement. Whenever Grantee or any Easement Mortgagee has mortgaged or assigned an interest in this Agreement and/or the Property pursuant to this Section 17.1, or has conveyed a license or other interest in the Property, it will give notice of the mortgage, assignment or conveyance (including the address of the Easement Mortgagee or Assignee for notice purposes) to Owner, provided that failure to give such notice shall not constitute a default under this Agreement. Upon the assignment of Grantee’s interest in this Agreement to an Assignee or upon the sale or conveyance of Grantee’s interest in this Agreement, Grantee shall be automatically and fully released from all of its obligations, responsibilities and liabilities to Owner hereunder, arising after the date of such assignment, sale or conveyance.

17.2 Mortgagee Assignee Obligations. Any Easement Mortgagee or Assignee which does not directly hold an interest in this Agreement, or which holds an interest, lien or security interest in this Agreement solely for security purposes, shall have no obligation or liability under this Agreement prior to the time such Easement Mortgagee or Assignee directly holds an interest in this Agreement, or succeeds to absolute title to such interest, or to this Agreement. Any such Easement Mortgagee or Assignee shall be liable to perform obligations under this Agreement only for and during the period it directly holds such interest or absolute title.

17.3 Certificates, etc. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after written request therefor, Owner shall execute such estoppel certificates (certifying as to such truthful matters as Grantee, Assignees or Easement Mortgagees or any prospective and/or subsequent

14324532

18

purchaser or transferee may reasonably request, including, without limitation, that no default then exists under this Agreement, if such be the case, and that this Agreement remains in full force and effect), and shall further execute consents to assignment, non-disturbance agreements and other documents as Grantee or any Easement Mortgagee or Assignee may request and rely upon as part of a purchase or transfer of all or part of Grantee’s interest in the Property or Wind Power Facilities.

18. Mortgagee Protection. Any Easement Mortgagee shall, for so long as its mortgage or other security interest is in existence, be entitled to the following protections which shall be in addition to those granted elsewhere in this Agreement.

18.1 Easement Mortgagee’s Right to Acquire and Right to Assign. An Easement Mortgagee shall have the absolute right (without having to obtain Owner’s consent): (a) to assign its security interest, (b) to enforce its lien and acquire title to the Grantee’s easement rights under this Agreement by any lawful means; (c) to operate the Property or any portion thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to perform all obligations to be performed by Grantee under this Agreement, or to cause a receiver to be appointed to do so; (d) to acquire such easement rights by foreclosure or by an assignment in lieu of foreclosure and thereafter to assign or transfer such easement rights to a third party; and (e) to exercise (or require Grantee to exercise at Easement Mortgagee’s request) the Renewal Option.

18.2 Right to Cure Defaults/Notice of Defaults/Assignee’s Right to New Agreement. To prevent termination of this Agreement or any partial interest in this Agreement, each Easement Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time prior to termination of this Agreement, to perform any act necessary to prevent or cure any Grantee default and to prevent the termination of this Agreement or any partial interest in this Agreement. As a precondition to exercising any rights or remedies as a result of any alleged default by Grantee, Owner shall give written notice of such default to each Easement Mortgagee for which Owner has received notice pursuant to Section 18.1, concurrently with delivery of notice to Grantee, specifying in detail the alleged event of default and the required remedy. The cure period for each Easement Mortgagee shall begin to run at the end of the cure period given to Grantee in this Agreement and each such Easement Mortgagee shall have the same amount of time to cure the default as to Grantee’s interest in this Agreement as is given to Grantee. Any right of Owner to terminate this Agreement shall be subject to such Easement Mortgagee’s right to cure and any extensions thereof provided for herein.

18.3 Extended Cure Period.

(a) If any default by Grantee under this Agreement cannot be cured without the Easement Mortgagee obtaining possession of all or part of the Property and/or all or part of the Wind Power Facilities and/or all or part of Grantee’s interest in this Agreement, then any such default shall be deemed remedied if: (i) within sixty (60) days after receiving notice from Owner as set forth in Section 18.2, either Easement Mortgagee or its Assignee shall have acquired possession of all or part of the Property and/or all or part of the Wind Power Facilities and/or all or part of such interest in this Agreement, or shall have commenced appropriate

14324532

19

judicial or nonjudicial proceedings to obtain the same; and (ii) the Easement Mortgagee or its Assignee, as the case may be, shall be in the process of diligently prosecuting any such proceedings to completion; and (iii) after gaining possession of all or part of the Property and/or all or part of the Wind Power Facilities and/or all or part of such interest in this Agreement, the Easement Mortgagee or its Assignee performs all other obligations as and when the same are due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only for the period attributable to its possession of the Property. If an Easement Mortgagee or its Assignee is prohibited by any process or injunction issued by any court or by reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction over any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Grantee or any defaulting Assignee, as the case may be, from commencing or prosecuting the proceedings described above, the sixty (60) day period specified above for commencing such proceeding shall be extended for the period of such prohibition.

(b) Following acquisition of Grantee’s easement rights by the Easement Mortgagee, its Assignee or designee as a result of either foreclosure or acceptance of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or by a purchaser at a foreclosure sale (all of which are included in the term “Assignee”), this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the Easement Mortgagee or its Assignee shall, as promptly as reasonably possible, commence the cure of all defaults under this Agreement and thereafter diligently process such cure to completion, whereupon Owner’s right to terminate this Agreement based upon such defaults shall be deemed waived; provided, however, that the Easement Mortgagee or such party acquiring title to Grantee’s easement rights under this Agreement shall not be required to cure those defaults which are not reasonably susceptible of being cured or performed by such party (“Non-curable Defaults”). Non-curable Defaults shall be deemed waived by Owner upon completion of foreclosure proceedings or acquisition of Grantee’s interest in this Agreement by such party.

(c) Any Easement Mortgagee or other party who acquires Grantee’s rights under this Agreement, pursuant to foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure shall not be liable to perform the obligations imposed on Grantee by this Agreement incurred or accruing after such party no longer has ownership of the rights under this Agreement or possession of the Property.

(d) Neither the bankruptcy nor the insolvency of Grantee shall be grounds for terminating this Agreement as long as all Use Fees and all other monetary charges payable by Grantee under this Agreement are paid by the Easement Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

18.4 New Agreement.

(a) If this Agreement terminates for any reason, including, without limitation, because of Grantee’s default or if the rights granted under this Agreement are foreclosed, or if this Agreement is rejected or disaffirmed pursuant to bankruptcy law or other law affecting creditor’s rights and, within ninety (90) days after such event, Grantee or any Easement Mortgagee or Assignee shall have arranged to the reasonable satisfaction of Owner

20

for the payment of all fees or other charges due and payable to Owner by Grantee as of the date of such event, then Owner shall execute and deliver to such Easement Mortgagee or Assignee or to a designee of one of those parties, as the case may be, a new easement agreement over the Property which (i) shall be for a term equal to the remainder of the Term (or the Renewal Term, if applicable) before giving effect to such rejection or termination; (ii) shall contain the same covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and limitations as this Agreement (except for any requirements that have been fulfilled by Grantee or any Easement Mortgagee or Assignee prior to rejection or termination of this Agreement); and (iii) shall include that portion of the Wind Power Facilities in which Grantee or such other Easement Mortgagee or Assignee, as applicable, had an interest on the date of rejection or termination.

(b) After the termination, rejection or disaffirmation of this Agreement and during the period thereafter during which any Easement Mortgagee or Assignee shall be entitled to enter into a new easement agreement over the Property, Owner will not terminate any assignment, partial assignment or license of Grantee's rights under this Agreement previously made by Grantee, or the rights of any Assignee thereof, unless such Assignee shall be in default under this Agreement.

(c) If more than one Easement Mortgagee makes a written request for a new easement agreement pursuant to this provision, the new easement agreement shall be delivered to the Easement Mortgagee requesting such new easement agreement whose mortgage is prior in lien, and the written request of any other Easement Mortgagee whose lien is subordinate shall be void and of no further force or effect.

THE CENTENNIAL MARKET STREET CENTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AND RECIPROCAL EASEMENT AGREEMENT A Subdivision of Airspace

THIS DECLARATION AND RECIPROCAL EASEMENT AGREEMENT (“Center

Declaration”), made as of ________________________________, 20___ by ABC Entertainment Partners LP, a XXXXXXXXX Limited Partnership, hereinafter referred to as the "Declarant," is made with reference to the following facts:

A. Declarant is the owner of that certain real property located in the City and County of Zenith described as Lot 125 [Parcel 1] and Lot 126 [Parcel 2] on the Parcel Map entitled "1747 California Street, an Airspace Parcel Map”, filed for record in the Office of the Recorder of the City and County of Zenith, State of XXXXXXXXX, on November 15, 2000, in Book 44 of Parcel Maps, page(s) 141-147 (the “Center Map”) (collectively Lot 125 [Parcel 1] and Lot 126 [Parcel 2] shall be referred to herein as the "Property").

B. Declarant is developing the Property, to be known as The Centennial Market Street Center (the “Center”), as a high-rise real estate project to consist of distinct mixed use components and condominium units. The Center will consist of: [1] a commercial/retail/museum/hotel increment (the “Commercial Component”) to be developed within Lot 125 [Parcel 1] for the portions of the Center which include the areas below the ground surface, the first 16 floors of the Center, the roof of the Center and the other Center Structural Elements of the Center as defined in this Center Declaration, and [2] a residential increment to be developed within Lot 126 [Parcel 2] within the 20 floors of the Center located immediately above the Commercial Component (the “Residential Component”).

C. Declarant is making this Center Declaration for the purpose of facilitating the joint operation, use and enjoyment of the Property as the Center, the Commercial Component and Residential Component thereof, and the improvements situated thereon.

D. For purposes of separate financing, construction, operation, ownership and conveyancing, the Center Map has divided the Property vertically into two (2) separate parcels of airspace, as Lot 125 [Parcel 1] and Lot 126 [Parcel 2], referred to herein as the Building Parcels. These Building Parcels will be further divided as separate condominium projects, as the Residential Condominium Project and the Commercial Condominium Project, with Condominium Units in these condominium projects to be separately owned by the Condominium Owners. The Residential Project is shown and further described on the Residential Map and the Commercial Project is shown and further described on the Commercial Map.

E. Each of the Building Parcels which are to be divided into and operated as separate condominium projects, will be subject to a Condominium Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions (“Condominium Declaration”).

Page 89: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

[Printed April 16, 2014] -36- \\WASHINGTON\DATA\WPWIN60\DMVAN\ACREL\MIXED USE PROGRAM 3.03\CNDC11WD.DOC

earthquake insurance shall be determined by adding the total of expected damage to all improvements in the Center subject to a single earthquake event together with the expected loss of income by way of Assessments to the Center Association for a single earthquake event.

Such casualty insurance shall cover the interests of the Center Association, the Condominium Associations, the Center Board and each of the boards of directors of the Condominium Associations, all Condominium Owners and First Mortgagees, as their respective interests may appear, in an amount equal to the full replacement value of the Center Improvements (exclusive of foundations and footings, except for earthquake coverage). Such casualty insurance shall include boiler and machinery insurance, elevator liability and collision insurance, plate glass insurance and water damage insurance to the extent the Center Board determines necessary, and such other insurance as the Center Board determines appropriate.

(12) All policies of casualty insurance shall contain to the

extent obtainable, waivers of subrogation and waivers of any defense based on [I] co-insurance; [2] other insurance [3] invalidity arising from any acts of the insured; [4] pro rata reduction of liability, and shall provide that such policies may not be cancelled or substantially modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to all insureds, including all Condominium Owners and First Mortgagees.

8.2.2. Condominium Project Utility Facilities. Each Condominium Association shall also maintain, repair and replace the Utility Facilities and the equipment which exclusively serve the Condominium Project and the Condominium Units as to which the Condominium Association has jurisdiction, and which facilities and equipment are located within the Building Parcel in which the Condominium Project is located, or within the Exclusive Easement Areas designated for and appurtenant to such Condominium Project, including such facilities as elevator equipment and components, telephone or telecommunications equipment, or similar such facilities or equipment, except for those portions of the Utility Facilities systems which are for the common use of other Components, Condominium Units or Condominium Projects within the Center, and which are to be maintained by the Center Association, and excepting any such facilities or equipment that serve only one Condominium Unit in the Commercial Condominium Project, which are the subject of an Exclusive Easement Area and, under and pursuant to the Commercial Declaration or this Center Declaration, the Owner of a Condominium Unit is to maintain, repair or replace.

replace the improvements within its, his or her Condominium Unit, keeping the same in good condition and repair, consistent with a first class high-rise mixed use project in Zenith, and subject to any standards established for such maintenance and repair as may be stated in the Center Rules. The Condominium Declaration for a Condominium Project shall designate and describe portions of the Condominium Project which individual Condominium Owners are to maintain, repair and replace. Each Condominium Owner shall duly and completely undertake such maintenance, repair and replacement in a timely and prudent manner as so designated and described in the applicable Condominium Declaration.

In the event a Condominium Association or an Owner shall fail to maintain or repair, or cause to be maintained or repaired, any portion of the Building Parcel, Condominium Project, or Exclusive Easement Areas as to which that Condominium Association has the duty and responsibility to maintain and repair, then the Center Association, or it's designated agents, may, after notice and a hearing as provided in the Bylaws, if the Center Board determines such action to be necessary and required for the health, safety, welfare and integrity of the Center, enter the Building Parcel, Condominium Project or Exclusive Easement Area and perform the necessary maintenance. The cost of such maintenance shall immediately be paid to the Center Association by the responsible Condominium Association or Owner for the Building Parcel, Condominium Project or Exclusive Easement Area involved, as a Reimbursement Assessment, together with interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date the cost was incurred by the Center Association until the date the cost is paid by the responsible Condominium Association.

ARTICLE 9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

9.1. Repair and Reconstruction of Damaged Improvements. Except as otherwise stated in this Article 9, if any of the improvements within the Center are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, the Center Association shall effect or cause the repair, restoration, reconstruction or replacement (“Repair”) of such damaged or destroyed improvements in the manner set forth in this Article 9. The provisions of this Article 9 and the rights and obligations of the Center Association, the Condominium Associations and each Owner in the Center regarding Repair of the Center, or any portion thereof, shall be expressly subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(2) of the CB-1 REA.

9.1.1. Repair by the Center Association. The Center Association shall Repair all Center Association Common Areas and all Center Structural Elements of the Center, as a Center Common Expense, except as otherwise stated in this Article 9. If the insurance proceeds and other funds available to the Center Association are not sufficient for the Center Association to undertake and complete such repairs of such components and facilities of the Center, then the provisions of Section 9.2 shall apply.

9.1.2. Repair to Condominium Projects. The Condominium Associations shall Repair all improvements and facilities within the Condominium Project, except for Repairs to those improvements to be made, undertaken or caused by the Center Association, and for the Repairs to Condominium Units to be made, undertaken or caused by Condominium Owners as stated in the Condominium Declaration for each of the respective Condominium Projects.

(a) The Repair of damaged or broken windows of Condominium Projects caused by a casualty event shall be the responsibility of the Center Association as a Center Common Expense, provided however, if any window which is located adjacent to a Condominium Unit within the window walls or curtain walls of the Building structure are damaged or broken by the Owner of the Condominium Unit, or the tenants, guests or invitees of the Owner, then the costs of Repair of said window shall be levied as a Reimbursement Assessment to and against the Condominium Unit.

9.1.3. Repair to Condominium Units. The Condominium Owners shall Repair

all improvements and facilities located within their respective Condominium Units, except for Repairs to those improvements to be made, undertaken or caused by the Center Association under this Center Declaration, or by the Condominium Association for the Condominium Project in which the Condominium Unit is located under this Center Declaration or under the Condominium Declaration.

9.1.4. Repair to Center Association Common Areas and Center Common Easement Areas. The Center Association shall Repair, as a Common Expense, all Center Association Common Areas, and all Center Common Easement Areas and Joint Use Easement Areas, except as otherwise stated in this Article 9.

(a) To the extent the cost of such Repairs to the Center Association Common Areas, Center Common Easement Areas or Joint Use Easement Areas is not covered by insurance proceeds, in part or in whole, then the provisions of Section 9.2 shall apply.

Page 107: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

[Printed April 16, 2014] -54- \\WASHINGTON\DATA\WPWIN60\DMVAN\ACREL\MIXED USE PROGRAM 3.03\CNDC11WD.DOC

(b) If the Center Association Common Areas, Center Common Easement Area or Joint Use Easement Area improvements, Center Structural Elements, or other improvements within any Building Parcel are to be Repaired by the Center Association, and the cost for such Repairs exceeds ten percent (10%) of the current replacement cost of such improvements to be repaired, or such cost is greater than $1,000,000, then the Center Board shall designate a construction consultant, a general contractor, and an architect for the Repair or reconstruction. In such event, all insurance proceeds, Center Association, Condominium Association monies, or other monies allocated for the Repair or reconstruction, and any borrowings by the Center Association or Condominium Associations for the Repair shall be deposited with a commercial lending institution experienced in the disbursement of construction loan funds (the "depository") as selected by the Center Board. So long as Fleet National Bank, or its successors or assigns (“Fleet”), is a mortgagee on any Condominium Unit, Fleet shall be the depository. Funds shall be disbursed in accordance with the normal construction loan practices of the depository that require, as a minimum, that the construction consultant, general contractor and architect certify prior to any disbursement substantially the following:

(22) That all of the work completed as of the date of such request for disbursement has been done in compliance with the approved plans and specifications;

(23) That such disbursement request represents monies which either have been paid by or on behalf of the construction consultant, the general contractor or the architect and/or are justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, or other persons (whose name and address shall be stated) who have rendered or furnished certain services or materials for the work and giving a brief description of such services and materials and the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and the respective amounts paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof and stating the progress of the work up to the date of said certificate;

(24) That the sum then requested to be disbursed plus all sums previously disbursed does not exceed the cost of the work insofar as actually accomplished up to the date of such certificate;

(25) That no part of the cost of the services and materials described in this Section 9.1.4(b) has been or is being made the basis for the disbursement of any funds in any previous or then pending application; and

(26) That the amount held by the depository, after payment of the amount requested in the pending disbursement request, will be sufficient to pay in full the costs necessary to complete the Repair. (c) If the cost of repair or reconstruction is less than ten percent (10%) of the current replacement cost of such improvements to be repaired, or such cost is less than $1,000,000, the Center Board shall disburse the available funds for the repair and reconstruction under such procedures as the Center Board deems appropriate under the circumstances.

9.1.5. Repair to Joint Use Easement Area. The Center Association shall Repair all structural components and facilities located within the Joint Use Easement Areas, except as otherwise stated in this Article 9, as a Common Expense , which shall be assessed and allocated as a Cost Center Allocation pursuant to Section 4.5.1.

[Printed April 16, 2014] -55- \\WASHINGTON\DATA\WPWIN60\DMVAN\ACREL\MIXED USE PROGRAM 3.03\CNDC11WD.DOC

9.1.6. Repair to Exclusive Easement Area. Repair to all elements, equipment and facilities located within the Exclusive Easement Areas shall be the responsibility of the Condominium Project or Condominium Owner that has been granted the use and benefit of such Exclusive Easement Area. Provided, however, if the Center Association deems that Repair of such an Exclusive Easement Area is essential to the overall operation and management of the Center, then the Center Association may elect to make such Repairs and levy a Reimbursement Assessment to the responsible Condominium Project or Condominium Owner that has been granted the use and benefit of such Exclusive Easement Area.

9.2. Repair Where Funds Not Sufficient. In the event that insurance proceeds and other funds available to the Center Association for effecting the required Repairs of the Center Association Common Areas, Center Structural Components, Center Common Easement Area or Joint Use Easement Area Improvements or the other portions of the Center which the Center Association is to Repair hereunder are not adequate to complete such Repair, the following shall pertain and apply:

(a) The Center Board shall levy a Special Center Assessment to and against each of the Condominium Projects for the costs of such Repairs that are not so covered by insurance proceeds, and the Condominium Associations of the Condominium Projects shall levy special assessments against the Condominium Units within their respective Condominium Projects pursuant to the respective Condominium Declaration to cover such costs of Repair.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, If the amount of the Special Center Assessment to be levied for such Repairs is an amount which is five per cent (5%) or more of the fair market value of the Center prior to the event of damage or destruction, then, such Special Center Assessment must be approved by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the Condominium Owners in each of the Condominium Projects. If the Special Center Assessment is not so approved, then, except in the event of 9.2(c), below, the provisions of Section 9.6 shall apply.

(c) In such event that the Owners do not elect to impose a Special Center Assessment, the Commercial Condominium Association or the Owner or Owners of any Condominium Unit in the Commercial Condominium Project shall be entitled to make such Repairs to the Center Association Common Area, Center Structural Components, Center Common Easement Area or Joint Use Easement Area Improvements or other areas that the Center Association is required to Repair hereunder and fund the costs of such Repairs as a loan to the Center Association, which loan shall be payable by all Owners on the basis stated in this subsection 9.2(c).

(27) said loan shall bear interest at the rate of interest per annum which equates to the Prime Rate plus one hundred basis points. "Prime Rate" shall mean the "reference rate" announced by the Bank of America, or the successor to Bank of America by merger or acquisition, at its main Zenith branch (whether or not such rate has actually been charged by the Bank of America). If the Bank of America should cease to exist or discontinues the practice of announcing a "reference rate" then the term "Prime Rate" shall mean the “reference rate” announced by the Wells Fargo Bank, or the successor to Wells Fargo Bank by merger or acquisition, at its main Zenith branch, (whether or not such rate has actually been charged by Wells Fargo Bank). If the Wells Fargo Bank should cease to exist or discontinues the practice of announcing a "reference rate" then the term prime rate (or base rate) reported in the Money Rates column or section of The Wall Street Journal as being the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks (whether or not such rate has actually been charged by any such bank). If The Wall Street Journal ceases publication of the prime rate, the "Prime Rate" shall mean the highest rate charged by the Bank of America or Wells Fargo Bank, if

Page 109: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

[Printed April 16, 2014] -56- \\WASHINGTON\DATA\WPWIN60\DMVAN\ACREL\MIXED USE PROGRAM 3.03\CNDC11WD.DOC

Bank of America then does not exist, on short-term, unsecured loans to its most credit worthy large corporate borrowers. If The Wall Street Journal (a) publishes more than one prime rate or base rate, the higher or highest of such rates shall apply, or (b) publishes a retraction or correction of any such rate, the rate reported in such retraction or correction shall apply.

(28) said loan shall be payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest which amortize the loan in full over a period of 10 years, unless the Owner or Owners of the Condominium Unit or Units in the Commercial Condominium Project making such loan agrees to different terms with the Center Association [and the Condominium Associations by and through their respective Boards.]

(29) said loan shall be secured by the rights of the Center Association to collect and enforce Center Assessments by and pursuant to this Center Declaration, including the rights assigned to the Center Association to collect the assessments of the Condominium Projects as set forth in Section 4.10.3 hereof. The Center Association and each Condominium Association hereby agrees to execute such reasonable documentation that is required to further establish and perfect any such security interest for said loan.

(d) If damage extends to the Center Association Common Areas, Center Common Easement Areas or Joint Use Easement Areas, and the Condominium Owners of the Commercial Condominium Project elect to rebuild the portions and components of the Center that are situated in the Commercial Component and the portions of the Center Association Common Areas, Common Easement Areas or Joint Use Easement Areas required to support and operate the improvements within the Commercial Condominium Project, notwithstanding the failure of obtaining approval of a Special Center Assessment under Section 9.2.1 of the Residential Condominium Project, then, the insurance proceeds available to the Center Association shall be allocated proportionately to the Commercial Condominium Association and the Residential Condominium Association based upon the expert estimates of the relative costs of Repair of the respective Condominium Projects. The proportionate amount of insurance proceeds allocated to the Commercial Condominium Project shall be used to effect Repair of the Commercial Condominium Project. The Center Board shall levy against the Commercial Condominium Association a Special Center Assessment to pay the difference in costs of Repair of the Commercial Component and the available insurance proceeds. Insurance proceeds payable to any Association, any Condominium Projects or an Condominium Owner shall first be allocated to the costs of repair or restoration of the Center Association Common Areas, Common Easement Areas or Joint Use Easement Areas, and, next, to the fulfillment of the obligations of the Building Parcel Owner or Condominium Project under this Center Declaration to render the Building Parcel safe and free of debris pursuant to Subparagraph 9.6, before any portions of such proceeds are allocated and disbursed to any Condominium Owner in a Condominium Project with respect to a Condominium Project which has been damaged or destroyed, but for which an election has not been made to Repair.

9.3. Repair Work. Any Repair which is required hereunder shall be undertaken in accordance with the original as-built plans and specifications for the Center, and the particular improvements, modified as may be required by applicable building codes and regulations in force at the time of such Repair or as authorized by the Center Board.

9.3.1. In the event of damage to more than one Condominium Unit or more than one of the Condominium Projects, or if there is damage to a Condominium Unit or a Condominium Project, and areas or improvements which the Center Association is to Repair hereunder, the Condominium Owners of the each of the Condominium Units, the Boards of each of the respective Condominium Associations, and the Center Board shall each cooperate in the

Page 110: Structuring Complex Easement Agreements Real Estate Dealsmedia.straffordpub.com/products/structuring-complex... · 2014-04-21 · Where there is a party wall easement that provides

[Printed April 16, 2014] -57- \\WASHINGTON\DATA\WPWIN60\DMVAN\ACREL\MIXED USE PROGRAM 3.03\CNDC11WD.DOC

Repair and reconstruction of their improvements and areas of responsibility by coordination of Repair work and providing access where necessary over and across the respective Building Parcels, the Condominium Projects, Condominium Units, the Center Association Common Area, the Joint Use Easement Areas or Exclusive Easement Areas. The Center Association shall cooperate by coordination of Repair within the Center Association Common Areas, Center Common Easement Areas and the Joint Use Easement Areas, and providing such access over and across the Center Association Common Areas, Center Common Easement Areas and the Joint Use Easement Areas as reasonably necessary for the Condominium Projects and the Condominium Owners to effect such Repair as they are required or permitted to undertake or cause hereunder.

9.4. Insurance Proceeds. The Center Association shall make available the proceeds of any insurance from any master hazard policy for Repair of damage or destruction to the Condominium Projects or Condominium Units for which Repairs are required to be undertaken or caused by the respective Condominium Projects or Condominium Owners hereunder, subject to the provisions of Section 9.2 (d) hereof, and subject to reasonable requirements imposed by the Center Board with respect to the adequacy of completion of any such Repair Work. Any deductible amounts of such insurance shall be prorated among the insureds to whom the insurance proceeds are made available in accordance with reasonable calculations by the Center Board as to the relative and comparative amount of damage or destruction that is covered by the insurance proceeds.

9.5. Completion of Repairs. Repairs to the Center that are to be undertaken by the Center Association shall be undertaken and completed as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances, subject to delays that are beyond the reasonable control of the Center Association. Any Repair of improvements within a Condominium Project, a Building Parcel, an Exclusive Easement Area or a Condominium Unit shall be completed no later than two (2) years after the date of the casualty, subject to reasonable delays that are beyond the control of the party responsible for making the Repairs. If repairs to a Building Parcel, Exclusive Easement Area, Condominium Project, or Condominium Unit require that repairs be first made to the Center Association Common Areas, Center Common Easement Areas, or other portions of the Center that the Center Association is required to Repair hereunder, then the requirements of the Building Parcel Owner, Condominium Association or Condominium Owner to complete such repair shall be subject to and contingent upon those Repairs to the Center Association Common Area, Center Common Easement Areas or other portions of the Center being Repaired by the Center Association. The Condominium Associations, the Condominium Owners and the Center Association shall take all appropriate steps before all Repair is completed to erect necessary structures and take such precautions as are reasonable to preclude unauthorized access to the Center, the Building Parcels, Center Association Common Area, the Center Common Easement Areas, the Condominium Projects, and the Condominium Units, and otherwise mitigate dangerous or hazardous conditions within the Center. To the extent which is reasonable and feasible, the Condominium Associations, Condominium Owners and the Center Association shall coordinate their work of Repair and restoration of the portions of the Center for which they are responsible to repair or restore under this Center Declaration.

9.6. Procedure When Damage to Center Not Repaired. If the Center Association, pursuant to the terms of this Center Declaration, elects not to Repair damage to the Center Association Common Area, Center Common Easement Area or Center Structural Components because such Repair is physically infeasible or because the required governmental permits and approvals cannot be legally obtained, the Center shall be sold in its entirety under such terms and conditions as are approved by a Majority Vote of Center Members subject to the provisions of this Section 9.6 and Section 9.7 of this Center Declaration. If, in accordance with this Center

Declaration, the damaged improvements in the Center Association Common Area or Center Common Easement Area or damaged Center Structural Components or the improvements within Building Parcels are not repaired or reconstructed, the Center Association shall promptly obtain any necessary permits and complete demolition of the damaged improvements within the Center Association Common Area, Center Structural Components, the Center Common Easement Areas and the Building Parcels, remove all debris from the Center, erect necessary structures to preclude unauthorized access to the Center Association Common Area, Center Structural Components, Center Common Easement Area and the Building Parcels and otherwise remove all safety hazards. Thereafter, after first applying the proceeds to the cost of removal of the damaged or destroyed improvements, mitigating hazardous conditions on the Center, making provision for the continuance of public liability insurance to protect the interests of the Owners until the Center can be sold, and complying with the terms of the all applicable requirements of governmental agencies, and subject to the rights of the Owners' First Mortgagees, all available insurance proceeds shall be disbursed among all Owners in the Center by the Center Association to all Condominium Owners based upon the relative fair market value of each Condominium Unit, including the respective interests in the Center Common Easement Areas, Joint Use Easement Areas and Exclusive Easement Areas, prior to the event of damage and destruction having occurred. Fair market valuation of the Condominium Units and any other interests of Owners in the Center shall be determined by Appraisal.

9.7. Sale of Center. If the Center is sold, the sales proceeds shall be distributed to all Owners, subject to the rights of their respective First Mortgagees, in proportion to the relative fair market value of each Condominium Unit prior to the event of damage and destruction having occurred, including the respective interests in the Center Common Easement Areas, Joint Use Easement Areas and Exclusive Easement Areas, as of the date immediately preceding the date of damage or destruction as determined by a qualified independent appraiser selected by the Board, after first applying the proceeds to the cost of removal of the damaged or destroyed improvements, mitigating dangerous or hazardous conditions within the Center, making provision for the continuance of public liability insurance to protect the interests of the Owners until the Center can be sold, and complying with the terms of all applicable requirements of governmental agencies. Fair market valuation of the Condominium Units and any other interests of Owners in the Center shall be determined by Appraisal.

9.8. Right of First Refusal. If the Owners of the Condominiums in the Residential Condominium Project elect not to rebuild the improvements within the Residential Condominium Project, the Owners of the Condominiums in the Commercial Condominium Project, through the Commercial Condominium Association shall have the right of first refusal to acquire the Residential Condominium Project and all of the Residential Component and all rights appurtenant thereto. If the Owners of the Condominiums in the Residential Condominium Project elect not to rebuild the improvements within the Residential Condominium Project, the Residential Condominium Association shall send a written notice to the Commercial Condominium Association within 10 days after such determination is made, but in no event later than 180 days after the occurrence of the event of damage or destruction. The Owners of the Condominiums in the Commercial Condominium Project, through the Commercial Condominium Association, shall elect whether to exercise the right of first refusal to acquire the Residential Condominium Project and all of the Residential Component and all rights appurtenant thereto within 90 days after receipt of the previously described notice from the Residential Condominium Association to the Commercial Condominium Association. The acquisition price and terms under such right of first refusal shall be determined by agreement of the boards of directors of the Condominium Associations, and if the boards of directors of the Condominium Associations cannot agree within 90 days after the notice from the Residential Condominium Association, such acquisition price and terms shall be determined by Appraisal.

9.8.1. If the Center Association elects not to Repair the Center, the Declarant shall have the right of first refusal to purchase the Center in its then existing condition from all of the Owners. The acquisition price under such right of first refusal shall be determined by agreement of the Center Board and the Declarant, and if said Center Board and the Declarant cannot agree as to the price and terms, within 180 days after the election of the Center Association not to so Repair, such price and terms shall be established by Appraisal.

(c) 29If the two appraisers so selected cannot agree upon a valuation as to the matter subject to Appraisal within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, then the two appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two appraisers.

(d) 29If the two appraisers are unable to agree upon such appointment within five (5) business days after expiration of such ten (10) days period, the third appraiser shall be selected by the parties themselves.

Provided that, and as long as, a Residential Condominium Unit is located and operated as an individual residential condominium unit pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.3A of the CB-1 REA, such individual Residential Condominium Unit shall not be individually bound by or subject to the CB-1 REA.

11.23.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Residential Condominium Association shall be subject to the obligations included in this Center Declaration, as required under Section 2.3A and Section 8.3 of the CB-1 REA, for and with respect to [1] payment of the allocation of CB-1 Assessments allocated and assessed under this Center Declaration to the Residential Condominium Association and the levying of such allocation of CB-1 Assessments as a portion of the assessments levied and collected by the Residential Condominium Association from the members of the Residential Condominium Association, and [2] the collateral assignment by the Residential Condominium Association to the Center Association of the assessment lien rights of the Residential Condominium Association to the Center Association, and to each Nondefaulting Party as defined in the CB-1 REA and to the Redevelopment Agency, of the Residential Condominium Association’s rights of assessment, assessment liens and rights of enforcement under the Residential Condominium Declaration, which rights enforce and secure each Residential Condominium Owner’s obligation to pay to the Residential Condominium Association an assessment for its share of all costs and expenses for which the Residential Condominium Association is responsible under the terms of this Center Declaration, as set forth in Section 8.3 of the CB-1 REA, Section 4.13 of the Residential Condominium Project Declaration, and Section 4.10 of this Center Declaration.

11.23.2. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, Owners of Residential

Condominium Units shall be entitled to utilize the easements granted to the Market Street Parcel Owner under the CB-1 REA, with the express understanding, however, that the individual Owners of Residential Condominium Units shall have no right to enforce such easement rights directly against the Redevelopment Agency, or against any of the Parties to the REA other than against the Center Association through this Center Declaration.

11.23.3. A Condominium Unit in the Residential Condominium Project shall be so excluded from the provisions of the CB-1 REA only if such Condominium Unit is used for residential and ancillary uses pursuant to the covenants set forth in Section 7.1.1. of this Center Declaration and in Article 11 of the CB-1 REA. If for any reason any such individual Residential Condominium Unit which was excluded from the CB-1 REA is no longer used as an individual residential condominium, then and thereupon, that Condominium Unit shall be deemed to have

become subject to the provisions of the CB-1 REA without exclusion, and the Owner of such Condominium Unit shall execute such documents as may be required by any Party to the CB-1 REA to subject such Condominium Unit to the provisions of the CB-1 REA.

11.23.4. The provisions of this Center Declaration regarding the share of the CB-1 Assessment payable by the Residential Condominium Association, including this section 11.23 and sections 4.12, 4.2 and 4.12 of this Center Declaration, shall not be amended without the approval of Redevelopment Agency. Upon (1) the failure of the Center Association to pay any amount due under the CB-1 REA prior to the expiration of applicable notice, grace or cure periods under the CB-1 REA, and (2) the failure of an individual Residential Condominium Owner to pay any assessment levied against that condominium by the Residential Condominium Association or the Center Association, as applicable, prior to the expiration of reasonable applicable notice, grace or cure periods, the Nondefaulting Parties (as defined in the CB-1 REA) shall have the same right to enforce the assessment lien created by the Residential Condominium Declaration or this Center Declaration as the Residential Condominium Association or the Center Association would have but for the assignment provided herein.

11.24. Museum Unit Reverter Rights. If the Museum Unit is not conveyed to the owner of the museum parcel which adjoins the Center, or if the Declarant, or its successors, exercises its right of reverter as expressed in the CB-1 REA, then the Museum Unit shall remain, or become, as may then be applicable, a Condominium Unit in the Commercial Condominium Project free of all limitations and restrictions imposed under this Center Declaration as to the Museum Unit with respect to Assessments, liens, rights of enforcement, and similar such restrictions and limitations as expressed in the Center Declaration and in the CB-1 REA, and in such event, the Museum Unit shall become a Condominium Unit in the Commercial Condominium Project for use in any manner which is legal and appropriate to the Center under the laws and regulations of the Center and the CB-1 REA. The Declarant shall have the right to impose a supplemental declaration on the Center to incorporate such a Condominium Unit into the Center, under this Center Declaration, such that such Condominium Unit will have the rights of a Condominium Unit in the Commercial Condominium Project and will be obligated for its share of Assessments and other obligations under this Center Declaration imposed on all other such Condominium Units in the Commercial Condominium Project which are not Excluded Units under the CB-1 REA.

11.25. Center Association Limitation of Liability. The Center Association shall not

be liable to any Condominium Association, any Condominium Owner, or any occupant or user of any portion of the Center, for any failure of water supply or other utility facilities or other services which are to be obtained or provided by the Center Association, or paid for as a Common Expense of the Center, or for injury or damage to person or property caused by the elements or by the Owner of any Condominium Unit, or any other person, or resulting from electricity, water, ice or other elements which may leak or flow from or over any portion of the Center or from any pipe, drain, conduit, appliance or equipment within the Center. The Center Association shall not be liable to any Condominium Owner for loss or damage, by theft or otherwise, or articles which may be stored upon any of the Center Association Common Areas, Center Common Easement Areas, or Joint Use Easement Areas. No diminution or abatement of any Center Assessments shall be claimed or allowed for inconvenience or discomfort arising from the making of repairs or improvements to the Center Association Common Areas, Center Common Easement Areas, or Joint Use Easement Areas, or from any action taken by the Center Association to comply with any law, ordinance or with the order or directive of any governmental authority.
