No right of access by the general public to any portion of the Property or the Conservation Area is conveyed by this Conservation Easement, except as provided in Paragraph 2(c), above. 6. Grantee's Liability. Grantee shall not be responsible for any costs or liabilities related to the operation, upkeep or maintenance of the Conservation Area. 7. Acts Beyond Grantor's Control.

Should any Conservation Area be injured or changed from natural causes, including but not limited to fire, flood, storm and earth movement, the Grantor shall be provided notice and a reasonable opportunity to restore the affected Conservation Area to a condition that satisfies the Management Plan requirements prior to the Grantee bringing any action for noncompliance with the Resolution or the Management Plan. 8. Property Tages. Grantor shall keep the payment of taxes and assessments on the Conservation Area current and shall not allow any lien on the Conservation Area superior to this Easement. In the event Grantor fails to extinguish or obtain a subordination of such lien, in addition to any other remedy, the Grantee may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to pay the lien on behalf of the Grantor and Grantor shall reimburse Grantee for the amount paid by the Grantee, together with Grantee's reasonable attorney's fees and costs, with interest at the maximum rate allowed by law, no later than thirty days after such payment.

The maintenance schedule should be so as to keep the Conservation Area ecologically functional and high quality, as well as a minimum 90% free of exotic vegetation. 12. Assignment. Grantee will hold this Conservation Easement exclusively for conservation purposes. Grantee will not assign its rights and obligations under this Conservation Easement except to another organization or entity qualified to hold such interests under the applicable state laws. 13. Severability. If any provision of this Conservation Easement or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is found to be invalid, the remainder of the provisions of this Conservation Easement shall not be affected thereby, as long as the purpose of the Conservation Easement is preserved. 14. Terms and Restrictions. Grantor shall insert the terms and restrictions of this Conservation Easement in any subsequent deed or other legal instrument by which Grantor divests itself of any interest in the Property. 15.

Extinguishment. If circumstances arise in the future such as render the purpose of this Easement impossible to accomplish, this Easement can only be terminated or extinguished, whether in whole or in part, by judicial proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction, and the amount of the proceeds to which Grantee shall be entitled, after the satisfaction of prior claims, from any sale, exchange or voluntary conversion of all or any portion of the Property subsequent to such termination or extinguishment, shall be determined, unless otherwise provided by Florida law at the time, in accordance with paragraph 18. Grantor believes that any changes in the use of neighboring properties will increase the benefit to the public of the continuation of this Easement, and Grantor and Grantee intend that any such changes shall not be deemed to be circumstances justifying the termination or extinguishment of this Easement. In addition, the inability of Grantor to conduct or implement any or all of the uses allowed under the terms of this Easement, or the unprofitability of doing so, shall not impair the validity of this Easement or be considered grounds for its termination or extinguishment. 18. Proceeds. This Easement constitutes a real property interest immediately vested in Grantee, which, for the purposes of paragraph 17, the parties stipulate to have a fair market value determined by multiplying the fair market value of the Property unencumbered by the Easement (minus any increase in value after the date of this grant attributable to improvements) by the ratio of the value of the Easement at the time of this grant to the value of the Property, without deduction for the value of the Easement, at the time of this grant. For the purposes of this paragraph, the ratio of the value of the Easement to the value of the Property unencumbered by the Easement shall remain constant. u~a ~a~ ~.~~ oa~,n ~~i~~nnn~ TO HAVE AND TO HOLD unto Grantee forever. The covenants, terms, conditions, restrictions and purposes imposed with this Conservation Easement shall be binding upon Grantor, and shall continue as a servitude Winning in perpetuity with the Properly.

The project site is located on the west side of State Road AlA about 1.5 miles north of the Jensen Beach Causeway (Figure 1 -Location Map). The 9.5 acre parcel extends from AlA west to the Indian River Lagoon and consists of 2.43 acres of uplands along the eastern project boundary. The development consists of amulti-family condominium development, associated road, storm water management, and a wetland and upland buffer preserve azea. The upland buffer preserve had been dominated by Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) prior to exotic removal. The wetlands on the property aze dominated by red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) with white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa) and black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) present in the azeas of higher elevation. 2.0 SILT FENCING AND PROTECTION BARRICADES Silt fencing and protection barricades during construction shall be provided per St. Lucie County Land Development Regulations (Chapter 6.00.05 C). Silt fencing will be installed and maintained to form a continuous unbroken boundary between the azea of approved impact (per approved site plan) and the Preserve Area. Prior to commencement of any site work the silt fence must be properly installed and must remain in good condition throughout the duration of site construction. Special caze shall be taken that the Preserve Area is properly marked and highly visible so that equipment operators can see the limits of permitted construction activity. Protective barriers or protective designations shall remain in place until removal is authorized by the Public Works Director, or his designee (SLC ERD), or until issuance of a certificate of occupancy or other use authorization as may be granted by the Public Works Duector, or his designee (St. Lucie County Environmental Resources Division). In the event that any protective barriers aze removed or altered and clearing activities aze conducted within an area identified for preserve under the issued Vegetation Removal Permit, the Public Works Director, or his designee (St. Lucie County Environmental Resources Division) is authorized to direct that all land clearing and site alteration work at the site be stopped until the barriers are restored and any necessary corrective actions taken to repair or replant any vegetation removed or damaged as a result of these encroachments. 3.0 RESTORATION OF 50-FOOT UPLAND BUFFER Quantities per approved landscape plan hence, replacement of the following; Cabbabge palm (Sabal palmetto); 10 - 3-gal Seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera); 10 - 3 gal Live oak (Quercus virginana); 4 - 3 gal Saw palmetto (Serena repens); 12 - 3 gal Coralbean (Erythrina herbacea); 4 - 1 gal White stopper (Eugenia axillaris); 4 - 1-gal Spanish stopper (Eugenia foetida); 4 - 1-gal Gumbo limbo (Bursera simarub); 4 - 3 gal Mazlberry (Ardisia escallonoides); 12- 1-gal Wild coffee (Psychotria nervosa); 20 - 1-gal The actual species to be re-planted will depend upon availability at native nurseries at the time work is preformed. Any substitutions made to the list above shall require approval by St. Lucie County Environmental Resources Division. 4.0 PRESERVE AREA MANAGEMENT The wetlands and associated upland buffer areas will continue to be maintained in accordance with South Florida Water Management Deed of Conservation Easement, recorded in the St. Lucie County public records (O.R. Book 2802, Page 2944). Property owners are encouraged to enjoy the natural beauty of their Preserve Areas. Although development of Preserve Areas is not allowed, passive uses, such as bird- watching and other non-destructive uses of natural azeas aze encouraged, as long as they do not affect the hydrology or vegetative cover of a Preserve Area Activities prohibited in the Preserve Areas include, but are not limited to: construction; dumping or placing building materials, soil, garbage, trash, or dead vegetation on or above the ground; removal or destruction of native trees, shrubs or other native vegetation; excavation or dredging of soil; diking or fencing; vehiculaz traffic including use by non- motorized vehicles, recreational vehicles and off-road vehicles; permanent imgation; trimming, pruning, or fertilization; and any other activities detrimental to drainage, flood control, water conservation, erosion control or fish and wildlife conservation and preservation. No hazazdous material other than fuel for refueling on-site equipment may be stored during construction. On-site fuel tanks may not be located within twenty-five (25) feet of airy Preserve Areas and will be removed upon completion of construction work. Development activities such as the construction of building pads for associated structures, swales, or culverts for surface water management shall not alter the hydrology of adjacent Preserve Areas. Nor shall any activities increase non-point source pollution in Preserve Areas. 5.0 RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES Except for approved restoration and maintenance activities, Preserve Areas will be left undisturbed. All maintenance of Preserve Areas will be in accordance with this PAMP. Restoration and maintenance activities consisting of the following may be allowed within Preserve Areas; exotic plant removal, revegetation with native plants; and removal of plant material that is dead, diseased, or considered to be a safety hazard. 5.1 EXOTIC PLANT REMOVAL Exotic vegetation shall be removed from Preserve Areas by the least ecologically- damaging method available.

Data collection stations have been established along the transect in order to document vegetative coverage. Vegetative coverage will be documented along the transect line and data collection/photo stations shown on the Monitoring Plan Map (Figure 3). Panoramic photos will be collected from each of the established monitoring stations to provide documentation of vegetative coverage. The monitoring is to ensure the nuisance and exotic vegetation removal is successful. Each monitoring report will include recommendations for maintenance if necessary. The threshold for maintenance requirements will be any azea that has five percent or more total vegetative coverage by nuisance or exotic vegetation at any time during the monitoring period. Maintenance of the upland buffer preserve will be provided in perpetuity by the homeowners association in accordance with permit requirements. 7.0 PRESERVE AREA SIGNAGE Preserve Areas will be posted with permanent signs.
