WITNESSETH THAT: WHEREAS, Barclay owns certain real estate located on South Michigan Street (Parcel No. 23-1025-1444) in the City of South Bend, Indiana (the "Real Estate"); and WHEREAS, the Grantor desires to acquire an interest in a portion of the Real Estate in order to expand the public right -of --way along Michigan Street (the "Property Interest") for the purpose of making certain improvements to Michigan Street; and WHEREAS, upon the Grantor's acquisition of the Property Interest, a billboard owned by Burkhart located on the Real Estate will encroach the public right-of-way (the "Billboard"), a description of said billboard and public right-of-way is as set forth at Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, in the determination of Grantor, such encroachment will not interfere with the free and safe flow of traffic on such public right-of-way; and WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the Grantor's acquisition of the Property Interest, the Grantor desires to grant Grantee a right of encroachment easement for the purpose of maintaining the current billboard at its current location. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing, of the agreements and covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration given by each party hereto unto the others, the receipt of sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Grant of Easements. Grantor hereby grants and conveys to Grantee, its successors and assigns, (1) a permanent, exclusive, and perpetual easement in, on, under, over and across that area of the Property Interest identified in Exhibit A (the "Sign Easement") for the purposes set forth below, and (ii) a permanent, exclusive, and perpetual easement in, on, under, over and across the Property Interest (the "Access Easement" and, together with the Sign Easement, the "Easements") for the purposes set forth below. The Sign Easement shall include the right to improve, upgrade and update the Billboard, including the right to install and use new technologies, to the extent such improvements, upgrades or updates would otherwise be permitted if the Billboard did not encroach a public right-of-way, and accordingly the Grantor shall not withhold permits requested from time to time for the same. Zoning laws and regulations shall be modified to the extent necessary to apply grandfather provisions applicable to the Billboard's current location in order for Grantee to obtain permits necessary to rebuild at current location or relocate the Billboard at a new location (provided that the new location does not encroach the public right-of-way as it exists at that time). 2. Purposes of Easements. The purposes of the easements granted and conveyed by Paragraph I above are: (i) to allow the owner of the Easements to illuminate, maintain, repair, remove, use and/or operate an outdoor advertising display in the location where an outdoor advertising display is currently located on the Property Interest and permitted by or excepted from the applicable zoning laws and regulations; (ii) to create exclusive access for vehicular traffic, for the benefit of the owner of the Easements, in, on, under, over and across the Property Interest for the purposes of maintaining and repairing the outdoor advertising display; and (iii) to provide an area for the installation, maintenance, repair, replacement, removal, use and operation of utility lines and other utility improvements in, on, under, over and across the Property Interest necessary to operate or illuminate an outdoor advertising display. The Easements are not intended, and shall not be construed, to grant or dedicate any rights to the general public to use the portion of the Property Interest subject to the Easements. 3. Restrictive Covenant. Grantor agrees not to permit any portion of the Property Interest to be used for purposes that would obstruct the view of, or otherwise impair the usefulness or value of, Grantee's outdoor advertising display. Grantor therefore restricts and encumbers the Property Interest with the following restrictive covenant: "No building or structure may be erected on the Property Interest that would block the view from Michigan Street of any outdoor advertising display erected on the Property Interest in the Sign Easement. The Barclay Corporation, its successors and assigns, shall be permitted to trim or remove any trees or other obstructions that would block the view of the structure." 4.
