Repatriation Act, and with 36 CFR 79 and 43 CFR 10.
f. Duty to maintain the Subject Property. The Grantor agrees at all times to maintain the Subject Property in a good
and sound state of repair and to maintain the Subject Property, including the items detailed in „Exhibit B [Other

portions of the Subject Property may also be open at other times by appointment, in addition to the scheduled 12
days a year. Nothing in this agreement will prohibit a reasonably nondiscriminatory admission fee, comparable
to fees charged at similar facilities in the area.
h. Right to inspect. The Grantor agrees that the Grantee, its employees, agents and designees shall have the right to
inspect the Subject Property at all reasonable times, with twenty-four hours written notice, in order to ascertain
whether the conditions of this preservation covenant agreement are being observed.

k. Casualty Damage or Destruction. In the event that the Subject Property or any part of it shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire, flood, windstorm, earth movement, or other casualty, the Grantor shall notify the Grantee in
writing within 14 days of the damage or destruction, such notification including what, if any, emergency work
has already been completed. No repairs or reconstruction of any type, other than temporary emergency work to
prevent further damage to the Subject Property and to protect public safety, shall be undertaken by the Grantor
without the Grantee's prior written approval indicating that the proposed work will meet the Standards. The
Grantee shall give its written approval, if any, of any proposed work within 60 days of receiving the request from
the Grantor. If after reviewing the condition of the Subject Property, the Grantee determines that the features,
materials, appearance, workmanship, and environment which made the Subject Property eligible for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places has been lost or so damaged that its continued National Register listing is in
question, the Grantee will notify the Keeper of the National Register in writing of the loss. The Keeper of the
National Register will evaluate the findings and notify the Grantee in writing of any decision to remove the
Subject Property from the National Register. If the Subject Property is removed, the Grantee will then notify the
Grantor that the agreement is null and void. if the damage or destruction that warrants the Subject Property's
removal from the National Register is deliberately caused by the gross negligence of the Grantor or future owner,
then the Grantee will initiate requisite legal action to recover, at a minimum, the Federal grant funds applied to
the Subject Property which will then be returned to the U.S. Treasury.
1. Enforcement. The Grantee shall have the right to prevent and correct violations of the terms of this preservation
covenant. If the Grantee, upon inspection of the Subject Property, finds what appears to be a violation, it may
exercise its discretion to seek injunctive relief in a court having jurisdiction. Except when an ongoing or imminent
violation will irreversibly diminish or impair the cultural, historical and architectural importance of the Subject
Property, the Grantee shall give the Grantor written notice of the violation and allow thirty (30) days to correct
the violation before taking any formal action, including, but not limited to, legal action. If a court, having
jurisdiction, determines that a violation exists or has occurred, the Grantee may obtain an injunction to stop the
violation, temporarily or permanently. A court may also issue a mandatory injunction requiring the Grantor to
restore the Subject Property to a condition that would be consistent with preservation purposes of the subgrant
from Grantee of ESHPF-HIM funds from the National Park Service. In any case where a court finds that a
violation has occurred, the court may require the Grantor to reimburse the Grantee and the Florida Attorney
General for all the State's expenses incurred in stopping, preventing and correcting the violation, including but
not limited to reasonable attorney's fees. The failure of the Grantee to discover a violation or to take immediate
action to correct a violation shall not bar it from doing so at a later time.
m. Amendments. The parties may by mutual written agreement jointly amend this preservation covenant, provided
the amendment shall be consistent with the preservation purpose of this preservation covenant and shall not reduce
its term of duration. Any such amendment shall not be effective unless it is executed in the same manner as this
preservation covenant, refers expressly to this preservation covenant, and is filed with the Monroe Coun?, G Clerk
of Court [Name of County Recorder's Office].
n. Effective date; severability. This preservation covenant shall become effective when filed by the Grantor in
Monroe CQyp� Clerk q1 Court [Name of County Recorder's Office], with a copy of the recorded instrument
provided to the Grantee for its preservation covenant file. If any part of this preservation covenant agreement is
held to be illegal by a court, the validity of the remaining parts shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations
of the parties shall be construed and enforced as if the preservation covenant agreement does not contain the
particular part held to be invalid.
