the Covenantor under this Statement shall inure solely to the benefit of the City of Fresno. There
are no third party beneficiaries of such obligations nor shall the right of the City of Fresno be
transferable in any manner to any person other than to a successor municipal corporation whose
geographic boundaries include the Subject Property.
3. The foregoing conditions shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the
City of Fresno, pursuant to the district amendment procedure of the Fresno Municipal Code, finds
the enforcement of such condition is no longer equitable.

the same or a different provision of this Statement of Covenant. No provisions of this Statement of
Covenant may be waived unless in writing and signed by all parties to this Covenant.-Waiver of any
