TO In the TOWN of Southold Town of Southold In the VILLAGE or HAMLET of BOXES 6 THRU 8 MUST BE TYPED OR PRINTED IN BLACK INK ONLY PRIOR TO RECORDING OR FILING. 0 AMENDMENT OF GRANT OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS EASEMENT MATTITUCK FARM HOLDINGS LLC with offices at 2299 North Sea Road, Southampton, New York (herein called "Grantor") and the TOWN OF SOUTHOLD, a municipal corporation, having its principal office at 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York 11971-0959 (herein called "Grantee") enter into this agreement, dated July �&, 2023, to amend (this "Amendment") the Grant of Development Rights Easement dated December 3, 2021, which was recorded with the Suffolk County Clerk Recorder, State of New York, Liber 13147 and Page 608 on March 17, 2022, as amended by the Correction Grant of Development Rights Easement dated October 4, 2022, which was recorded with the Suffolk County Clerk Recorder, State of New York, Liber 13177 and Page 018 on November 9, 2022 (the "Easement"). This Amendment is made and entered into in perpetuity and exclusively for conservation purposes. INTRODUCTION WHEREAS, Grantor granted the Easement (attached hereto as Schedule A) to Grantee over certain real property identified in the Easement as the Property ("Property") and identified on the Suffolk County Tax Map as 1000- 95-4-3.1. WHEREAS, Grantor is the present owner of the underlying fee interest in the Property and Grantee is the present holder of the Easement. WHEREAS, on or about April 24, 2023, the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2023-30, which sets forth the safe harbor deed language for extinguishment and boundary line adjustment clauses required by § 605(d)(1) of the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 (SECURE 2.0 Act), enacted as Division T of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, Public Law 117-328, 136 Stat. 4459 (December 29, 2022). WHEREAS, Grantor and Grantee desire to amend the Easement to substitute the safe harbor language for the corresponding language in the Easement, as provided by § 605(d)(2) of the SECURE 2.0 Act. Based on the provisions of this Amendment and the mutual and valuable consideration provided to each by this Amendment, Grantor and Grantee AGREE as follows: 1 ARTICLE ONE THE AMENDMENT 1.01 Boundary Line Adjustments Pursuant to Notice 2023-30, Section 3.03 of the Easement is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof: Except as provided in this Section 3.03, the Property may not be further subdivided pursuant to Town Law §§265, 276 or 277 or §335 of the Real Property Law, as they may be amended, or any other applicable State or local law. "Subdivision" shall include the division of.the portion of the Property from which the development rights are acquired into two or more parcels, in whole or in part. Grantor may, subject to approval by the Planning Board of the Town of Southold and as otherwise required by applicable law, modify or alter lot lines between the Property and adjacent parcels, or subdivide the Property, provided that all resulting parcels contain at least 10 acres of preserved agricultural land subject to a development rights easement or other conservation instrument. Notwithstanding this Section 3.03, upon the death of Grantor or its Members, the underlying fee interest may be divided by conveyance of parts thereof to Grantor's executor, trustee, heirs or next of kin by will or operation of law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Easement and pursuant to Notice 2023-30, Grantor and Grantee agree that boundary line adjustments to the real property subject to the restrictions may be made only pursuant to a judicial proceeding to resolve a bona fide dispute regarding a boundary line's location. A boundary line adjustment shall not be interpreted as synonymous with or otherwise preclude a lot line modification, subdivision, or division by conveyance upon Grantor's death, as described in this Section and defined by the Town Code of the Town of Southold. 2 1.02 Extinguishment of Easement/Condemnation/Proceeds Pursuant to Notice 2032-30, Section 6.06 of the Easement is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof: A. Termination; Extinguishment. If a subsequent unexpected change in the conditions surrounding the Property that is the subject of a donation under this Easement has made impossible or impractical the continued use of the Property for conservation purposes, the conservation purpose can nonetheless be treated as protected in perpetuity if the restrictions are terminated or extinguished by judicial proceeding and all of Grantee's Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) from a subsequent sale or exchange of the Property are used by Grantee in a manner consistent with the conservation purposes of the original contribution. A judicial proceeding is the exclusive manner in which this Easement may be terminated or extinguished. In the event of extinguishment of this Easement in whole or in part, the provisions of this Section 6.06 shall survive such extinguishment. The mere cessation of farming on the Property shall not be construed to be grounds for extinguishment of this Easement. B. Grantee's Proportionate Share. In connection with any condemnation, termination, or extinguishment of this Easement, "Grantee's Proceeds" from such action shall be the greater of the amount determined as Grantee's Proceeds under Section 6.06(C) or Section 6.06(D) below. C. Grantee's Proceeds. At the mutual request of Grantor and Grantee, a court with jurisdiction may, if it determines that conditions surrounding the Property have changed so much that it becomes impossible to fulfill the Purpose of this Easement described in Section 0.03, extinguish or modify this Easement in accordance with applicable law. The mere cessation of farming on the Property shall not be construed to be grounds for extinguishment of this Easement. If at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be taken or condemned by eminent domain, by the Grantee or by any other governmental entity, then this Easement shall terminate with respect to the Property, or portions thereof so taken or condemned, and the Property shall not be subject to the limitations and restrictions of this Easement. In such event, the Grantor, its successors or assigns, shall not be required to pay any penalties, but the value of the Property shall reflect the limitations of this Easement. Any condemnation award payable to the Grantor shall be in proportion to the value attributable to the residual agricultural value of the Property. If the condemnation is undertaken by an entity other than the Grantee, then the remaining portion of the condemnation award shall be payable to the Grantee 3 in proportion to the value attributable to the development rights transferred hereby. D. Grantee's Proceeds; Internal Revenue Code. For the purposes of Grantor's claim of a federal income tax deduction under IRC Section 170(h) and associated IRS Regulations, the fair market value of the Easement at the time of condemnation, termination or extinguishment shall be determined by multiplying (i) the fair market value of the Property unencumbered by the Easement at the time of termination by (ii) 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 the grant. The ratio (Grantee's "Proportionate Share") referred to in the preceding sentence shall be established by a qualified appraisal for federal income, gift and estate tax deduction purpose, pursuant to IRS Regulation §1.170A-13 and §1.170A- 14(h), and the ratio shall remain constant. Pursuant to IRS Regulation §1.170A-14(g)(6)(ii), after termination of this Easement, in whole or in part, on a subsequent sale, exchange or involuntary conversion of the Property, Grantee must be entitled to a portion of the proceeds (without diminution for any costs, expenses, or prior liens) that is at least equal to Grantee's Proportionate Share as established by this Section 6.06(D). All of Grantee's Proceeds, as determined in this Section 6.06(D), must be used by the Grantee in a manner consistent with the conservation purposes of the original contribution, unless state law provides that the Grantor is entitled to the full proceeds from the conversion without regard to the terms of the prior perpetual conservation easement. The Grantee makes no representation as to the tax consequences of the transaction contemplated by this Easement. Grantor will obtain independent tax counsel and be solely responsible for compliance requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. ARTICLE TWO REPRESENTATIONS AND TERMS 2.01 Authorization This Amendment is authorized by and consistent with the provisions of Section 7.02 of the Easement. Each signatory to this Amendment represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to enter into and execute this Amendment and to legally bind the party that he or she represents. 4 2.02 Governing Law New York law applicable to deeds and conservation easements pertaining to land located within New York shall govern this Amendment and the Easement in all respects, including validity, construction, interpretation, breach, violation and performance. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit Grantee's powers exercised at Grantee's initiative in a manner consistent with Grantee's municipal and regulatory powers, including but not limited to zoning and taxation. 2.03 No Liens Grantor represents that as of the effective date of this Amendment there are no liens or mortgages outstanding against the Property. 2.04 Effect of Amendment Except as amended hereby, all terms and conditions of the Easement, including but not limited to all Schedules and Exhibits thereto, remain in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Easement and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail. 2.05 Effective Date of Amendment This Amendment shall be effective when Grantor and Grantee have executed it and it has been recorded in the office of the Clerk of the County of Suffolk County, State of New York. 2.06 Counterparts This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. IN WITNESS WHEREOF Grantor and Grantee have caused this Amendment to be executed by persons duly authorized to execute the same. 5 ACKNOWLEDGED AND ACCEPTED: MA CK FARM HOLDINGS LLC, Grantor By: yj� � ' S�A Peter J.
