EXHIBIT F <br />MINIMUM TERMS FOR AGRICULTURAL LAND EASEMENTS <br />The Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, 16 U.S.C. Section 3865 et seq., facilitated and <br />provided funding for the purchase of an Agricultural Land Easement ("ALE"), as described in this <br />Grant Deed of Agricultural Conservation Easement ("ALE Deed"), on real property described in <br />Exhibit A, hereafter referred to as "the Protected Property." As used herein, references to the "ALE <br />Deed" include this Exhibit, except where explicitly stated otherwise. <br />Brent Minor and Mary Minor (collectively "Grantor"), Kittitas County and Forterra NW <br />(collectively "Grantee"), the State of Washington, by and through the Washington State Recreation <br />and Conservation Office (RCO), and the United States of America (the "United States"), acting by <br />and through the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service <br />(MRCS) on behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation (jointly referred to as the "Parties") <br />acknowledge that the ALE is acquired by the Grantee for the purpose of: <br />protecting the agricultural use and future viability, and related conservation values, by <br />limiting nonagricultural uses that negatively affect the agricultural uses and conservation values <br />of the Protected Property (the "Purpose of the ALE'). <br />Baseline conditions of the Protected Property are set forth in a Baseline Documentation Report, a <br />copy of which is maintained in the files of the Grantee. <br />In order to ensure compliance with the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, 16 U.S.C. <br />Section 3865 et seq. and 7 CFR Part 1468, the following rule of interpretation will govern any and <br />all inconsistencies between this Exhibit and those portions of the ALE Deed other than this Exhibit. <br />Notwithstanding any other provision of the ALE Deed, the Parties agree that all present and future <br />use of the Protected Property is and will remain subject to all of the terms and conditions identified <br />in the following Sections I and II. If the terms and conditions in Sections I and II are inconsistent <br />with terms and conditions in other portions of the ALE Deed, Sections I and II will control; <br />provided, however, that if other portions of the ALE Deed have terms and conditions that are <br />consistent with, but more restrictive to the rights of the Grantor than the terms and conditions in <br />Section I, Paragraphs 1, 2, and 4, those more restrictive terms and conditions will control. If other <br />portions of the ALE Deed are more restrictive to the rights of the Grantor than Section I Paragraph <br />3 and 5 and Section II then Section I Paragraph 3 and 5 and Section II will control. <br />SECTION I - MINIMUM CONSERVATION DEED RESTRICTIONS <br />Even if the Protected Property consists of more than one parcel for real estate tax or any other <br />purpose or if it was acquired previously as separate parcels, it will be considered one parcel for <br />purposes of this ALE, and the restrictions and covenants of this ALE Deed will apply to the <br />Protected Property as a whole. <br />The terms and conditions of the ALE Deed run with the land and are binding upon the Grantor and <br />Grantee and their respective heirs, successors, agents, assigns, lessees, and any other person <br />Exhibit F <br />
