AND: Adams-Wappinger, LLC, having offices at 765 Dutchess Turnpike, Poug!Jkeepsie, NY 12603, hereafter referred to as "Adams", WHEREAS: A. Grantor is the sole owner in fee simple of three separate parcels of property located in the Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York, bearing the Tax Grid Identifying Numbers 135689-6257-03-267342-0000, 135689-6257-03-206277-0000 and 135689- 6257 -03-071167-0000, and which are more particularly described in Schedule A attached. The aggregate area which shall be subject to this Conservation Easement is comprised of approximately 12.58 acres, made up of portions of each of the aforementioned three parcels owned by the Grantor. The aggregate 12.58 acres which shall be subject to this easement is comprised of five (5) parcels (referred to hereafter collectively as the "Property"), and which are more particularly describes as Parcels A through E in Schedule 8 attached hereto. The Property subject to this easement is also depicted on the "Easement Map" attached as Schedule C hereto. B. The Property possesses the following attributes. It is vacant land unimproved by any man-made structure and comprised primarily of woodlands and constitutes open space in a Town which is under significant and increasing development pressure. Portions of the Property have been identified as excellent quality habitat for the Indiana Bat, an endangered species listed on both the Federal and New York State lists of endangered species. The Property is also adjacent to 37.279 acres of land which are now protected by a Conservation Easement, and thus, the protection of this site will enhance and improve the open space protected by that adjacent property. C. Article 14 of the New York State Constitution states that lithe policy of this state shall be to conserve and protect its natural resources and scenic beauty and encourage the development and improvement of its agricultural lands for the production of food and other agricultural products"; D. The Legislature of the State of New York has found and declared that in order to implement the public policy of the State of conserving, preserving and protecting its environmental assets and natural and man-made resources, the preservation, development and improvement of agricultural and forest lands is fundamental to the 100303 Phanlom w Wapplngar CE Draft 10 Final.wpd 1 rtECEIVE:L MAR - 5 2010 "\1\1/\, ~, F=pr maintenance, enhancement and improvement of, among other things, balanced economic growth and the quality of life in all areas of the State, and in furtherance thereof has enacted Article 49, Title 3, of the New York Environmental Conservation Law (ECl) to provide for and encourage the limitation and restrictions of development, and use of, real property through conservation easements; E. The Property is located within the Town of Wappinger. The Town's Draft Comprehensive Plan dated October 2008 states as follows: . "Scattered land development throughout the Town has fragmented habitat." Town of Wappinger Draft Comprehensiv~ Plan, October 2008, at Page 3. . "The Town is home to a number of threatened and endangered species, including the Blanding's Turtle, and plants such as the Blazing Star, Rattlebox and Violet Wood Sorre!." Town of Wappinger Draft Comprehensive Plan, October 2008, at Page 3. . "The Town is a member of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Compact, which encourages inter-municipal cooperation and policies consistent with the Green principles, including natural and cultural resource protection, public access and environmental education." Town of Wappinger Draft Comprehensive Plan, October 2008, at Page 4. . "Farm fields and forested lands, which provide natural resources and a rural or semi-rural character to the Town, are threatened by continued development of housing, commercial and institutional sites in the Town. Fields and forests also help define the edges and shape the identities of settled areas." Town of Wappinger Draft Comprehensive Plan, October 2008, at Page 5. . "Goal: Encourage the preservation of environmentally significant features. ... Objectives: ... F. Protect the Town's biodiversity through protection of endangered species and threatened plant and animal populations, as well as through control of invasive species." Town of Wappinger Draft Comprehensive Plan, October 2008, at Page 8. . "Goal: Encourage development with high aesthetic standards to provide a visual and natural environment that will promote economic stability, enhance community character, and will be compatible with surrounding land uses. ... Objectives: ... C. Protect important landscapes through opens space and farm land conservation." Town of Wappinger Draft Comprehensive Plan, October 2008, at Page 10. F. The Property was inspected and assessed in November 2009 by Michael S. Fishman, CWB PWS, of the firm of Stearns & Wheler GHD, One Remington Park Drive, Cazenovia, NY 13035, and determined to be excellent quality habitat for the Indiana Bat, an endangered species listed on both the Federal and New York State lists of endangered species. The protection afforded the Property by this Conservation 100303 Phanlom w Wappinger CE Draft 10 Flnal.wpd 2 Easement will assure the preservation of valuable habitat for the Indiana Bat. G. The Property is also adjacent to 37.279 acres of land which are now protected by a Conservation Easement. This will enlarge the area of contiguous protected property and enhance the benefit of both protected properties. It has been recognized that as the protection of land through conservation easements proliferates, they beget and encourage other landowners to protect their land and open spaces. Hence, this protection of adjacent properties will also serve to encourage the continued addition of preserved land in the Town of Wappinger. H. Grantee has determined that accepting a Conservation Easement on the Property with this easement will enhance the long-term ecological and habitat values of the Property and will enhance open space preservation in the Town which serves the Town's goals and objectives as set forth in its Draft Comprehensive Plan dated October 2008. J. Grantor and Grantee desire to ensure that as outlined in the purposes of this easement as stated below, the habitat, forestry and general open space characteristics of the Property will be protected for the benefit of future generations, and desire to do this by entering into this Conservation Easement pursuant to the provisions of Article 49, Title 3 of the New York ECl. K. The Grantor intends to grant the property interest conveyed by this Deed to the Grantee for the exclusive purpose of protecting the habitat, forest and open space characteristics on the Property, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein. L. Grantor has received independent legal and financial advice regarding this Conservation Easement to the extent that Grantor has deemed necessary. Grantor freely signs this Conservation Easement in order to accomplish its conservation purposes. M. Adams, a third party, for its own benefit, seeks to accomplish the preservation and protection of the Indiana Bat habitat located on the Property by providing critical assistance in making the conservation easement between the Grantor and the Grantee a reality. Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. GRANTEE'S REPRESENTATION. Grantee represents and warrants that, as a municipal corporation, it is a New York "public body" within the meaning of Article 49, Title 3 of the New York ECl (and any successor statutes), and by virtue of such, is a qualified organization within the meaning of the ECl to accept, purchase and hold this Conservation Easement. 2. GRANT OF CONSERVATION EASEMENT. 100303 Phanlom w Wappinger CE Draft 10 Final.wpd 3 Grantor voluntarily grants and conveys to Grantee, and Grantee voluntarily accepts, this Conservation Easement to run with the land in perpetuity as defined by Article 49, Title 3, of the New York ECl for the purposes outlined below. 3. PURPOSE. 3.1 It is the purpose of this Conservation Easement to: (a) conserve important endangered species habitat, forestry lands and their associated unique and special natural features; (b) enable the Property to remain in its present natural, vacant and unimproved state by protecting in perpetuity its habitat, forestry and open space values; (c) prevent any use of the Property that would significantly impair or interfere with its current or potential endangered species habitat and forestry viability; and (d) conserve and protect the Property's scenic and open space resources, and rural character. 3.2 Grantor and Grantee share the common desire to conserve these resources by the conveyance of this Conservation Easement, in order to prevent the use or development of the Property for any purpose or in any manner which would conflict with the conservation of these resources. 4.

Existing Conditions. By its execution of this Conservation Easement, Grantee and Grantor agree that the Property is presently vacant, contains no man-made improvements of any kind, and is in a natural state. In June of 2009, the Property was toured, inspected and assessed by Michael S. Fishman. CWB PWS, of the firm of Stearns & Wheler GHD. One Remington Park Drive, Cazenovia, NY 13035. According to Mr. Fishman, the parcels comprising the easement Property are all forested in mature, oak-dominated southern hardwood forest cover type and lie along the power line right-of-way. The mature forest contains mixed-age hardwood forest, scattered standing dead timber (snags) and bounded by adjacent forested wetlands. Mr. Fishman determined the conditions on these parcels to be suitable roosting and foraging habitat for the Indiana Bat. The conditions of the site at the time of his inspection are described in more detail in his revised Indiana Bat Mitigation Plan which was filed with the NYSDEC and a copy of which is on file with the Grantee. 11. Enforcement. 11.1 Grantee may enforce this Conservation Easement at law or in equity, including, 100303 Phantom w Wappinger CE Draft 10 Flnal.wpd 6 without limitation, pursuant to the provisions of Article 49, Title 3 of the Conservation Law, against any or all of the owners of the Property or any part thereof. 11.2 The Grantor and the Grantee agree that the United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) of The US Department of The Interior and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Department (NYSDEC), are hereby deemed beneficiaries of this Conservation Easement and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to access the Property to perform animal habitat research on the Property and to enforce the terms hereof in law or equity pursuant to applicable law against any or all owners of the premises as if they were parties to this Conservation Easement. 11.3 If there is a violation, or threatened violation, of this Conservation Easement, Grantee, or any other entity with the right to enforce this easement, shall provide written notification to Grantor, and/or notify the party in violation or threatening the violation, who shall, in the case of an existing violation, promptly cure the violation by (a) ceasing the same or (b) restoring the Property to the condition before such violation, or in the case of a threatened violation, refrain from the activity that would result in the violation. If a violation continues for more than 45 days after written notice is given without Grantor taking steps to cure the same, or at any time if the violation or a threatened violation threatens immediate and irreparable harm to the resource values of the Property that this Conservation Easement is intended to protect, Grantee, or any other entity with the right to enforce this easement, may seek immediate injunctive relief and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to correct it by direct action, as well as by pursuing all available legal remedies. If a violation is determined to have occurred, the Grantor, including its successor and/or assigns, shall reimburse Grantee, or any other entity with the right to enforce this easement, for all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in enforcing this Conservation Easement and curing the violation. 11.4 Failure to enforce any provision of this Conservation Easement shall in no event be deemed a waiver of a right to do so thereafter as to the same violation or breach or as to one occurring prior or subsequent thereto. 12. Amendment. This Conservation Easement may be amended by a recorded instrument signed by the Grantor and the Grantee. Any such amendment shall be consistent with the purposes of this Conservation Easement and shall comply with Article 49, Title 3 of the Conservation Law. Any amendment of the terms of Paragraph 8 of this Easement shall require the prior, written consent of the USFWS and the NYSDEC. 13. Notices.

Such notice shall be considered to be given upon receipt. 14. Encumbrance by Conservation Easement. Any subsequent conveyance, including, without limitation, transfer, lease or mortgage of the Property, shall be subject to this Conservation Easement, and any deed or other instrument evidencing or effecting such conveyance shall contain language substantially as follows: "This (conveyance, lease, mortgage, easement, etc.) is subject to a Conservation Easement which runs with the land and which was granted to the Town of Wappinger by instrument dated , and recorded in the office of the Clerk of Dutchess County at Document No. _."

Acts Beyond Grantor's Control. This Conservation Easement shall not be construed to entitle Grantee to bring any legal action against Grantor for any injury to or change in the Property resulting from natural events beyond the control of the Grantor. Such natural events include fire, flood, storm, earthquake, tornado, landslide or Acts of God, or from any prudent action taken by Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to the Property resulting from such causes. This paragraph shall not be construed to relieve the Grantor of the obligation to clean-up garbage or materials dumped on the Property by third parties or to otherwise maintain the Property in a condition consistent with the purposes of this Easement. 20. Further Acts. Each party shall perform any further acts and execute and deliver any documents, including amendments to this Conservation Easement, which may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Conservation Easement or which are necessary to qualify this instrument as a Conservation Easement under Article 49, Title 3, of the Conservation Law or any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. 21. No Forfeiture. Nothing herein contained will result in a forfeiture of Grantor's title in any respect. 100303 Phantom w Wappinger CE Draft 10 Final.wpd 9 22. Controlling Laws. The interpretation and performance of this Conservation Easement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. The Property remains subject to all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations. 23. Assignment and Continuity. Grantee agrees that it will assign or transfer this Conservation Easement only to an assignee that is (a) a qualified "not-for-profit organization" or "public body" as those terms are defined in Section Article 49, Title 3 of the NYS ECl and which (b) agrees to continue to carry out the conservation purposes of this Conservation Easement. 24. Inspection. 24.1 Grantee, its designees, or any entity having the right to enforce this Conservation Easement, shall have the right to enter the Property for the purpose of determining whether the provisions of this Conservation Easement are being observed and for the purposes set forth in Paragraph 11.2 of this easement. Notice of such inspections shall be delivered to the Grantor, its designee or its agent, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to such inspection. The inspection shall be conducted between the hours of 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on a weekday that is not a legal holiday recognized by the State of New York or at a date and time agreeable to the Grantee and Grantor. 24.2 Grantee or its designees shall also have the right to inspect the Property at any time, without prior notice, if Grantee has cause to believe the provisions of the Conservation Easement have been or are being violated. 25. Extinguishment. 25.1 Donation of a Vested Interest. Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that the granting of this Conservation Easement constitutes the donation to Grantee of a fully vested interest in the Property. 25.2 Involuntary Extinguishment. If and when the restrictions contained in this Conservation Easement are involuntarily extinguished by eminent domain, taking, or otherwise, Grantor and Grantee agree that Grantor shall be entitled to the entire proceeds. 25.3 Judicial Extinguishment. If this Conservation Easement is extinguished pursuant to a judicial proceeding initiated by the Grantor, Grantor shall pay to Grantee an amount equal to the fair market value of the Conservation Easement on the date of judicial extinguishment, as determined by an independent appraisal, the cost of which shall be divided equally between Grantor and Grantee. 26. Duration. 100303 Phanlom w Wappinger CE Ora" 10 Final.wpd 10 26.1 This Easement shall be of perpetual duration, and no merger of title, estate or interest shall be deemed effected by any previous, contemporaneous, or subsequent deed, grant, or assignment of an interest or estate in the Property, or any portion thereof, to Grantee, it being the express intent of the parties that this Easement not be extinguished by, or merged into, any other interest or estate in the Property now or hereafter held by Grantee. 26.2 Furthermore, the fact that any use of the Property that is expressly prohibited by the terms of this Conservation Easement may become greatly more economically valuable than uses permitted by the terms of the Conservation Easement, or that neighboring properties may, in the future, be put entirely to uses that are not permitted by this Conservation Easement, has been considered by Grantor in granting this Conservation Easement and by Grantee in accepting it. Grantor believes that any such changes in the use of neighboring properties will increase the benefit to the public of the continuation of this Conservation Easement, and Grantor and Grantee intend that any such changes shall not be deemed to be circumstances justifying the termination or extinguishment of this Conservation Easement. In addition, the inability of Grantor, its successors and assigns, to conduct or implement any or all of the uses permitted under the terms of this Conservation Easement, or the unprofitability of doing so, shall not impair the validity of this Conservation Easement or be considered grounds for its termination or ext~~shment.
