The reservation set forth in subsection 2(c) above shall apply only until the City or a third party designated by the City completes construction of the Sam Chastain Waterfront Trail extension trail between point A and point B as shown on Exhibit D hereto, and only so long as such trail remains open to the public and is maintained in a good and functional condition. Grantor further reserves the right to use the Easement Area for any other purposes not inconsistent with the easement rights granted in Section 1, provided that such other uses do not unreasonably interfere with Grantee's use of the Easement Area. 3.
