BK: 2182 PG: 120 <br />River County at Official Record Book 2182 Page jos "Grantor shall notify Grantee in <br />writing at least thirty (30) days before conveying the Property, or any part thereof or <br />interest therein, to any third party. The failure to notify Grantee or to include said <br />language in any deed or instrument shall not, however, affect the validity or applicability <br />of this Conservation Easement to the Property or limit its enforceability in any way. <br />Failure to include in any deed or other interest affecting conveyance the language required <br />by this paragraph shall give grantee all rights and remedies at law or equity, including the <br />right to void the transfer. <br />19. Grantee's Right to Purchase. <br />Pursuant to Indian River County's Land Acquisition Manual dated September <br />2004, the Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that Grantee shall have the right to <br />Purchase Grantor's interest in the Property where Grantor has failed to maintain sixty <br />percent (60%) or more of the acreage of the Property in agriculture as set forth in this <br />Conservation Easement for any continuous five (5) year period of time. In such event, <br />and in addition to its remedies under Paragraph 16, Grantee may, but shall not be <br />obligated to, purchase Grantor's fee simple interest in the Property, as encumbered by <br />the Conservation Easement, at the appraised value of the encumbered fee, <br />determined in accordance with Florida Statutes section 125.355. In the event Grantee <br />acquires the fee interest in the Property, this Conservation Easement shall not merge <br />into the fee simple estate, and Indian River County as Grantee covenants to take all <br />necessary steps to assure that the estates do not merge. <br />20. Right of Notice of Intent to Sell. <br />The terms of this right are such that if Grantor intends to sell the Property, or any <br />interest therein or portion thereof, Grantor shall timely deliver to Grantee written notice <br />of such intent, and shall, in good faith, afford Grantee an opportunity to negotiate the <br />acquisition of the Property, or such portion thereof or interest therein that Grantor <br />intends to sell. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor and Grantee acknowledge and <br />agree that Residence Parcel is specifically excepted from all of the provisions of this <br />paragraph. If Grantee desires to negotiate the acquisition of the Property, or such <br />portion thereof or interest therein, Grantee shall so notify Grantor in writing within 30 <br />days after receipt of Grantor's notice of intent. If Grantor and Grantee are unable, in <br />good faith, to agree to terms of an acquisition of the Property, or such interest therein or <br />portion thereof as applicable, within 120 calendar days, Grantor shall send written <br />notice thereof to Grantee ("Paragraph 20 Notice"). Thereafter, Grantor may sell the <br />Property free of the right granted herein; provided, however, that closing on such sale <br />shall occur within one year of the date of the Paragraph 20 Notice. Notwithstanding the <br />foregoing, Grantee may avail itself of all of its remedies hereunder should Grantee <br />disagree with the Paragraph 20 Notice. If the Property, or such portion thereof or <br />interest therein as is applicable, has not sold within one year after Grantee's notice to <br />Grantor that Grantee does not intend to negotiate acquisition of the property or within <br />one year after failure to reach agreement to terms of an acquisition, then any intent to <br />12 <br />
