4.6. Limitation of Grantee Rights. Except as is reasonably required to effect the purpose of
this Easement, the Grantee has no right of use, license, easement, servitude, or usufruct, for any

Grantor has reason to believe Grantee is no longer using the Easement Area, Grantor will inquire
with Grantee, in writing, as to the Grantee’s status respective to the Easement. If Grantee does
not respond within forty-five (45) days, Grantor will follow the Grantee Default notification

its sole discretion, terminate this Easement upon written notice to Grantee. In the case of
termination due to Default, Grantee shall remove its improvements from the Easement Area in
accordance with the provisions set forth in Paragraph 13.1 below. If such default is of a nature
that it cannot reasonably be cured within said one hundred eighty (180) days, then the cure
period may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties, in writing, for such longer time as
may be reasonably necessary, so long as Grantee commences to cure failure within said one
hundred eighty (180) day period, in good faith and with due diligence, and thereafter diligently
and continuously pursues the same to completion.
5.2. Remedies for Non-Compliance. In the event the Grantee fails to comply with any
obligation under this Easement, the Grantor may pursue monetary damages, equitable relief, or
both, and the Grantee shall reimburse the Grantor for its attorney fees and costs.

(ii) issued by Qualified Insurers defined for purposes of this paragraph as insurers authorized to

connection with any insurance carried pursuant to this Paragraph.

acceptable to the Government, and including such endorsements necessary to afford additional
insured status.
10.5. Damage or Destruction of Easement Area. In the event all or part of the Easement Area
is damaged (except de minimis damage) or destroyed, the risk of which is assumed by the
Grantee under Paragraph 10.1, the Grantee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Government
and the Parties shall proceed as follows:
10.5.1. In the event that the Government, in consultation with the Grantee, determines that the
magnitude of damage is so extensive that the Easement Area cannot be used by the Grantee for
its operations and the repairs, rebuilding, or replacement of the Easement Area cannot reasonably
be expected to be substantially completed within one (1) year of the occurrence of the casualty
(“Extensive Damage or Destruction of Easement Area”), either Party may terminate this
Easement as provided in Paragraph 5.1. If this Easement is terminated pursuant to Paragraph
5.1, any insurance proceeds received as a result of any casualty loss to the Easement Area shall
be applied to the restoration of the Easement Area in accordance with Paragraph 13.
10.5.2. In the event that the Government, in consultation with the Grantee, shall determine that
Extensive Damage or Destruction of the Easement Area has not occurred, then neither Party
shall have the right to terminate this Easement. The Grantee shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable after the casualty, restore the Easement Area as nearly as possible to the condition
that existed immediately prior to such loss or damage. Any insurance proceeds received as a
result of any casualty loss to the Easement Area shall be applied first, to restoring the damaged
area and removing any related debris to the reasonable satisfaction of the Government and
second, to repairing, rebuilding, and/or replacing the Easement Area to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Government.

modify the plans and to place reasonable restrictions on Grantee’s access, equipment, methods,
materials, and manpower related to accomplishing the work, in order to ensure it is done

grant, all to Grantor’s satisfaction. Grantor shall give notice to Grantee of such election within a

may leave on the Easement Area, may be abandoned in place by Grantee, at Grantee’s election,
in which case such property and improvements will revert or be transferred to Grantor and such
reversion or transfer in lieu of Grantee’s removal and restoration obligation shall be automatic
and at no cost to Grantor and shall be effective on the Easement Term expiration date or the
effective date of any abandonment or termination, without additional consideration therefore.
Grantee shall execute any documentation reasonably requested by the Grantor to confirm any
transfer or conveyance.
13.2. Government Restoration of Easement Area. If Grantee fails to satisfy its removal and
restoration obligations within six (6) months from the date of expiration, termination, or
abandonment of this Easement, then at Grantor’s option, Grantee’s improvements and personal
property located on the Easement Area shall either become Grantor’s property without
compensation therefore or the Government may cause them to be removed or destroyed and the
Easement Area to be so restored at the expense of Grantee; and no claim for damages against
Grantor, its officers, employees, agents, or contractors shall be created by or made on account of
such removal or destruction and restoration work. Grantee shall reimburse Grantor for any
expenses it incurs to restore the Easement Area to the condition required by this grant within
thirty (30) days after the Government provides written notice to Grantee of the reimbursement
amount together with reasonable documentary support of the reimbursement amount.
13.3. Release of Easement. Within six (6) months from the date of expiration, termination, or

from time to time.
16.4. Government Caused Environmental Damage. Grantee does not assume any of

21. ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE SURVEY /
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF PROPERTY
An Environmental Baseline Survey (“EBS”) for the Easement Area dated 29 January 2018, has
been delivered to the Grantee, is available in both the Grantor and Grantee’s real property office
for review as necessary, and is incorporated herein by reference. The EBS and Supplements set
forth those environmental conditions and matters on and affecting the Easement Area as of 29
January 2018, as determined from the records and analyses reflected therein. The EBS is not,
and shall not constitute, a representation or warranty on the part of the Government regarding the
environmental or physical condition of the Easement Area, and the Government shall have no
liability in connection with the accuracy or completeness thereof. Grantee acknowledges and
agrees that the Grantee has relied, and shall rely, entirely on its own investigation of the
Easement Area in determining whether to enter into this Easement. A separate EBS for the
Easement Area shall be prepared by the Government, after the expiration or earlier termination
of this Easement (“Final EBS”). Such Final EBS shall document the environmental conditions
and matters on and affecting the Easement Area on the Term Expiration Date as determined from

Area under this Easement including, without limitation, Paragraph 13 and Paragraph 16.
22. GENERAL PROVISIONS
22.1. Covenant Against Contingent Fees. The Grantee warrants that it has not employed or
retained any person or agency to solicit or secure this Easement upon an agreement or

warranty shall give the Government the right to annul this Easement without liability or in its
discretion to recover from the Grantee the amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or
contingent fee, in addition to the consideration herewith set forth. This warranty shall not apply

lodgings, stores, shops, restaurants, cafeterias, restrooms, and any other facility of a public nature
in any building covered by, or built on land covered by, this Easement.

color, religion, sex, or national origin in furnishing, or by refusing to furnish, to such person or
persons the use of any Facility, including any and all services, privileges, accommodations, and
activities provided on the Easement Area. This does not require the furnishing to the general
public the use of any Facility customarily furnished by the Grantee solely for use by any
assignees, licensees, or invitees or their guests and invitees.
22.3.2. The Parties agree that in the event of the Grantee’s noncompliance, the Government may

gift) to any officer, official, or employee of the Government and intended, by the gratuity, to
obtain an easement or other agreement or favorable treatment under an easement or other

render, either of the Parties liable to any third party for the debts or obligations of the other Party.
22.6. Records and Books of Account. The Grantee agrees that the Secretary of the Air Force,
the Comptroller General of the United States, or the Auditor General of the United States Air

after the expiration or earlier termination of this Easement, have access to, and the right to
examine, any directly pertinent books, documents, papers, and records of the Grantee involving
transactions related to this Easement.
22.7. Remedies Cumulative; Failure of Parties to Insist on Compliance. The specified
remedies to which the Parties may resort under the terms of this Easement are distinct, separate,
and cumulative, and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress
to which the Parties may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by either
Party of any provisions of this Easement. The failure of either Party to insist on any one or more
instances upon strict performance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Easement
shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment of the Parties’ right to the future
performance of any such terms, covenants, or conditions. No waiver by either Party of any
provision of this Easement shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and
signed by an authorized representative of the other Party.
22.8. Counterparts. This Easement is executed in counterparts in triplicate, each of which is

security action that may cause employees to be late to, or unavailable at, their work stations, or
delay arrival of parts and supplies. The Government retains the right to refuse access to the

fully agree to abide with all access restrictions imposed by the Government in the interest of
national defense.

represents a threat to the security or mission of the Installation, poses a threat to the health,
welfare, safety, or security of persons occupying the Installation, or compromises good order
and/or discipline on the Installation.
24.4. No Diminishment of Rights. Except as provided in Paragraph 24.1, nothing in this
Easement shall be construed to diminish, limit, or restrict any right of the Grantee under this

easements or Applicable Laws.
