BACKGROUND A. Curtis is purchasing a parcel of land (the "City Parcel ") in the City of South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana, the legal description of which appears on Exhibit "A" hereto; and B. An Electric Substation and associated conduit is owned by the Board and is depicted on Exhibit `B" (collectively "Electric Substation "). The Electric Substation provides electrical service to the City Parcel. C. Curtis desires to obtain an access easement to the Electric Substation in order to insure the continuous supply of electricity to the City Parcel. D. The Board is willing to provide Lessee the easement requested pursuant to the terms and conditions provided herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Incorporation of Background. The allegations contained in the Background are incorporated into the operative provisions of this Agreement as if fully set out herein. 2. Grant of Easement and Term. The Board hereby grants to Curtis an exclusive easement for the purpose of accessing the Electric Substation to facilitate the continuous supply of electrical power to the City Parcel, including but not limited to the installation, storage, maintenance and removal of equipment related to providing electric power to the City Parcel . The term of this easement shall begin after Curtis has supplied the Note and Letter of Credit, as defined in that certain Contract for Purchase and Sale between Curtis and the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the "Commission "), to the Commission. After Curtis has paid the principal and any other amounts due under the Note, the term of the easement shall become perpetual and this easement shall be permanent. In the event Curtis shall fail to pay the principal and any other amounts due under the Note to the Commission beyond any cure period provided in the Note, the Board shall have the option to terminate the Easement upon written notice to Curtis. In the event that Curtis determines the City Parcel no longer requires electrical power from the Electric Substation, Curtis shall notify the Board in writing and this Easement shall automatically terminate at that time. During the term of this Easement and subject to the Board's retained rights, no person or entity other than Curtis shall be afforded access to the Electric Substation by the Board. Following any termination of this Easement, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and execute any documents necessary to remove or otherwise correct references to the Easement in the relevant land records.
