         SECTION 2.  Section 8502.0132, Special District Local Laws
  Code, is amended by amending Subsection (b) and adding Subsections
  (d-1), (m), and (n) to read as follows:
         (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter,
  the Authority is directed to sell all Captive Property To Be Sold in
  accordance with the directives of this section, including the
  following:
               (1)  Within 90 days of the effective date of the Act
  enacting this section, the Authority shall publish a list of the
  parcels at the Lake that qualify as Captive Property To Be Sold and
  an "Application Of Intent To Purchase" form for use by the Offerees
  as provided by this section.
               (2)  Each listed parcel of Captive Property To Be Sold
  shall be offered for sale at its fair market value to the Offeree
  who owns any Adjacent Land that is adjacent to that specific parcel
  of Captive Property To Be Sold, and each Adjacent Land owner has the
  right (but not the obligation) to purchase the parcel in equal
  proportion among those wishing to acquire same.
               (3)  Any Offeree who desires to purchase Captive
  Property To Be Sold must, within 180 days of the inclusion of that
  property on the published list of Captive Property To Be Sold under
  Subdivision (1), submit a completed Application Of Intent To
  Purchase form to the Authority.
               (4)  If the Authority does not receive an Application
  Of Intent To Purchase from an Offeree within the required time, the
  Offeree shall be deemed to have waived any right to purchase the
  subject property under this section and the Authority shall have
  the right to retain or sell such property as directed by the board.
               (5)  The Authority shall accept and process all
  Application Of Intent To Purchase forms in the order in which they
  are received.
               (6)  Any sale of property under this section must be
  handled as if it were a private sale for fair market value under
  Section 49.226(a), Water Code.
               (7)  The fair market value of the Captive Property To Be
  Sold must be determined as follows:
                     (A)  Within forty-five (45) days of the
  Authority's receipt of the Offeree's completed Application Of
  Intent To Purchase and an acceptable survey as provided by
  Subsection (d)(1), the Authority shall provide the Offeree with an
  appraisal of the fair market value of the Captive Property To Be
  Sold dated within one year of the date of the Authority's receipt of
  the Application Of Intent To Purchase (the "First Appraisal").  The
  Authority's appraiser must be an appraiser certified under Chapter
  1103, Occupations Code.  Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the
  First Appraisal, the Offeree shall notify the Authority in writing
  as to whether the Offeree agrees with or disputes the fair market
  value set forth in the First Appraisal.  If the Offeree does not
  dispute the fair market value as determined by the First Appraisal
  within such 15-day time period, then the First Appraisal shall be
  final and binding on all parties to establish the fair market value
  for the Captive Property To Be Sold.
                     (B)  If the Offeree disputes the fair market value
  determined by the First Appraisal, the Offeree may withdraw its
  application to purchase the Captive Property To Be Sold or employ a
  disinterested appraiser certified under Chapter 1103, Occupations
  Code, to conduct a second appraisal of the fair market value of the
  Captive Property To Be Sold (the "Second Appraisal").  The Second
  Appraisal must be completed and sent to the Authority not later than
  the 45th day after the date the Offeree notifies the Authority that
  the Offeree disputes the First Appraisal. If the Authority does not
  receive the Second Appraisal within such 45-day time period, then
  the Offeree's Application Of Intent To Purchase will be deemed
  withdrawn.
                     (C)  Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the
  Second Appraisal, the Authority shall notify the Prospective
  Purchaser in writing as to whether the Authority agrees with or
  disputes the fair market value determined by the Second Appraisal.  
  If the Authority does not dispute the fair market value as
  determined by the Second Appraisal within this 15-day time period,
  then the Second Appraisal shall be final and binding on all parties
  to establish the purchase price for the Captive Property To Be Sold.  
  If the Authority timely disputes the fair market value determined
  by the Second Appraisal, the two appraisers (or their designated
  agents) shall meet and attempt to reach an agreement on the fair
  market value of the Captive Property To Be Sold, such meeting to
  occur not later than the 30th day after the date the Authority
  notifies the Offeree that the Authority disputes the Second
  Appraisal.
                     (D)  If the two appraisers reach agreement on the
  fair market value, within 20 days after their meeting they shall
  issue a report of the agreed fair market value to the Authority and
  to the Offeree, and this agreed fair market value shall be final and
  binding on all parties to establish the purchase price.  If the two
  appraisers fail to reach agreement on or before the 20th day after
  the date of the meeting, then not later than the 30th day after the
  date of the meeting the two appraisers shall appoint a
  disinterested third appraiser certified under Chapter 1103,
  Occupations Code, to reconcile the two previous appraisals (the
  "Third Appraisal"). The Third Appraisal must be completed on or
  before the 30th day after the date of the third appraiser's
  appointment, and the fair market value determined by the Third
  Appraisal is final and binding on all parties to establish the
  purchase price; provided, however, the final purchase price may not
  be more than the fair market value determined by the First Appraisal
  or less than the fair market value determined by the Second
  Appraisal.
                     (E)  The appraisal costs must be paid by the
  person who requests the appraisal, except that the Offeree and the
  Authority shall each pay one-half of the cost of the Third Appraisal
  if a Third Appraisal is necessary.  If the Offeree fails to pay its
  share of the Third Appraisal, then the Offeree's Application Of
  Intent To Purchase will be deemed withdrawn.
                     (F)  The timelines established in the appraisal
  process set forth in this subdivision may be extended on joint
  agreement of Authority and Offeree.
               (8)  Closing must occur not later than the first
  anniversary of the effective date of the Act of the 83rd
  Legislature, Regular Session, 2013, amending this subsection.
         (d-1)  Not later than 15 business days after the delivery of
  an Offeree's survey to the Authority required under Subsection
  (d)(1) or (m)(6), the Authority shall notify the Offeree that the
  survey is acceptable or submit in writing to the Offeree a list
  detailing any error in the survey that the Authority believes
  requires correction. If required, the survey must be corrected at
  the earliest convenience of the surveyor and a corrected survey
  delivered to the Authority. The correction process repeats until
  both surveys are acceptable, at which time the timetable for the
  appraisal process in Subsection (b)(7)(A) begins for the properties
  described in the Subsection (d)(1) and (m)(6) surveys. So long as
  the Subsection (m)(6) survey is timely delivered to the Authority,
  if the surveys are not both accepted by the Authority within 180
  days after the effective date of the Act enacting this subsection,
  then the closing deadline established by Subsection (b)(8) is
  extended on a day-for-day basis for each day after the 180th day
  until both surveys are accepted by the Authority.
         (m)  Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the
  contrary, a sale under this section is subject to the following
  requirements:
               (1)  If on the date Closing occurs the Project Land or
  any portion of the Project Land has been removed from the FERC
  License, the Captive Property To Be Sold must include all Project
  Land that would have otherwise qualified as Captive Property To Be
  Sold except for its status as Project Land.
               (2)  If on the date Closing occurs the Project Land or
  any portion of the Project Land has not been removed from the FERC
  License, the Authority shall convey to the Offeree a residual
  interest in that portion of the Project Land that would have
  otherwise qualified as Captive Property To Be Sold except for its
  status as Project Land. The residual interest automatically vests
  on the date that:
                     (A)  the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
  approves an amendment to the FERC License removing the Project Land
  from the boundaries under the FERC License so that the Project Land
  is no longer subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory
  Commission; or
                     (B)  the FERC License expires and is not renewed
  or extended, or is otherwise terminated, and thus the Project Land
  is no longer subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory
  Commission.
               (3)  Notwithstanding Subdivision (2), if the residual
  interest described by Subdivision (2) has not vested on or before
  August 31, 2040, then the residual interest is terminated and of no
  further force and effect, and the Authority shall repay to the
  Offeree any amount originally paid for that residual interest on or
  before December 1, 2040. On satisfaction of a condition described
  by Subdivision (2)(A) or (B) before August 31, 2040, the residual
  interest conveyed under Subdivision (2) is automatically effective
  without necessity of further documentation. As of the date the
  conveyance is effective, the applicable portion of the Project Land
  is considered to be a part of the Captive Property To Be Sold
  conveyed under this section and the Offeree or then-current Owner
  of the applicable portion of the Captive Property To Be Sold is the
  beneficiary of the residual interest applicable to the portion of
  the Project Land adjacent to such Owner's land and considered to be
  a part of the Captive Property To Be Sold conveyed under this
  section. The residual interest immediately vests in the Offeree or
  then-current Owner of the adjacent Captive Property To Be Sold
  conveyed under this section without the necessity of any additional
  written conveyance.
               (4)  In the event that a sale under this subsection does
  not include any portion of the Project Land, or only includes a
  residual interest in a portion or all of the Project Land, then the
  Authority shall at Closing, subject to the approval of the Federal
  Energy Regulatory Commission, grant the Offeree an easement,
  subject to the FERC License, for the use of that portion of the
  Project Land for which the Offeree has purchased a residual
  interest. The Authority shall retain ownership of that portion of
  the Project Land and exercise control over that portion of the
  Project Land consistent with the FERC License and this subsection.
  The easement granted to the Offeree is limited to uses permitted
  under the terms of the FERC License, the Authority's Shoreline
  Management Plan, and any other Authority rules and regulations that
  may be adopted from time to time.
               (5)  An appraisal of the fair market value of the
  Project Land, whether the Project Land has been removed from the
  FERC License or not, must be determined as if the applicable Project
  Land is not subject to the FERC License, is not part of the Federal
  Energy Regulatory Commission project area, is not subject to any
  lease agreement, is available for immediate possession and use, and
  may be used for any lawful purpose.
               (6)  For each parcel of Project Land that an eligible
  Offeree elects to purchase under Subdivision (1), or for each
  parcel of Project Land in which the Offeree purchases a residual
  interest under Subdivision (2), the Offeree shall, not later than
  the 90th day after the effective date of the Act enacting this
  subsection, provide to the Authority a survey and calculation of
  the area of the parcel prepared by a licensed state land surveyor or
  a registered professional land surveyor in accordance with this
  subsection. The survey is separate from any survey prepared under
  Subsection (d) of Captive Property To Be Sold.
         (n)  On or before Closing, the Authority shall deliver
  completed and executed documentation necessary to transfer the
  property conveyed from the Authority to the Offeree, and the
  Offeree shall deliver the purchase price and closing costs and the
  countersignatures on all necessary documentation. Promptly after
  Closing, the Offeree shall record the documents required for
  transferring the property in the county records where the property
  is located. The closing documents and funds may be held in escrow
  at the election of the Authority or the Offeree until all documents
  have been fully executed and all required funds have been
  delivered.
         SECTION 3.  Chapter 8502, Special District Local Laws Code,
  is amended by adding Section 8502.0133 to read as follows:

  when offered for sale by one who wishes, but is not obliged, to sell
  and when bought by one who is under no necessity of buying it.  This
  value shall be determined as if the Costello Island Property were
  not subject to the FERC License, were not located within the FERC
  Project Area, were not subject to any lease agreement, were
  available for immediate possession and use, and could be used for
  any reasonable purpose, subject only to the restrictions in
  Subsection (e).
               (6)  "FERC License" means the order of the Federal

  extended, or amended at any time and from time to time, and also

  amendment was issued on May 15, 1980, to the extent incorporated or
  referenced in the FERC License.
               (7)  "FERC Project Area" means that portion of

               (8)  "Lake" means Possum Kingdom Lake located in Young,
  Palo Pinto, Stephens, and Jack Counties. The boundary of the lake
  is defined by the 1000' contour line, as that contour may meander
  and change over time with natural forces, including erosion and

  the periphery of the lake if the surface of the lake is at an
  elevation of 1000 feet above mean sea level, as measured from the
  top of the spillway crest gates of the Morris Sheppard Dam, as such

  other than the authority, owning a portion of Costello Island in fee
  simple.
         (b)  After the date of decommissioning, the authority shall

  sale shall be:
               (1)  for not less than the fair market value as

         (c)(1)  The fair market value of the Costello Island Property
  shall be determined as described in this subsection.
               (2)  Not later than 45 days after the date the authority
  receives the offeree's completed application of intent to purchase
  and an acceptable survey as provided by Subsection (d)(1), the
  authority shall provide the offeree with an appraisal of the fair
  market value of the Costello Island Property.  The authority may use
  an existing appraisal if it is dated not more than one year before
  the date the authority receives the application of intent to

  Chapter 1103, Occupations Code. Not later than the 15th day after
  the date the offeree receives the first appraisal, the offeree
  shall notify the authority in writing as to whether the offeree
  agrees with or disputes the fair market value provided in the first
  appraisal. If the offeree does not dispute the fair market value as
  determined by the first appraisal before the expiration of the
  15-day period, the first appraisal is final and binding on all
  parties and establishes the fair market value for the Costello
  Island Property.
               (3)  If the offeree disputes the fair market value
  determined by the first appraisal, the offeree may withdraw its
  application to purchase the Costello Island Property or may employ
  a disinterested appraiser certified under Chapter 1103,
  Occupations Code, to conduct a second appraisal of the fair market
  value of the Costello Island Property. The second appraisal must be
  completed and sent to the authority not later than the 45th day
  after the date the offeree notifies the authority that the offeree
  disputes the first appraisal. If the authority does not receive the
  second appraisal before the expiration of the 45-day period, the
  offeree's application of intent to purchase will be deemed
  withdrawn.
               (4)  Not later than the 15th day after the date of
  receiving the second appraisal, the authority shall notify the
  offeree in writing as to whether the authority agrees with or
  disputes the fair market value determined by the second appraisal.
  If the authority does not dispute the fair market value as
  determined by the second appraisal before the expiration of the
  15-day period, the second appraisal is final and binding on all
  parties and establishes the purchase price for the Costello Island
  Property. If the authority timely disputes the fair market value
  determined by the second appraisal, the two appraisers, or their
  designated agents, shall meet and attempt to reach an agreement on
  the fair market value of the Costello Island Property.  The meeting
  shall occur not later than the 30th day after the date the authority
  notifies the offeree that the authority disputes the second
  appraisal.
               (5)  If the two appraisers reach an agreement on the
  fair market value, they shall issue a report, not later than the
  20th day after the date of their meeting, relating the agreed fair
  market value to the authority and to the offeree, and this agreed
  fair market value shall be final and binding on all parties and
  establishes the purchase price. If the two appraisers fail to reach
  an agreement on or before the 20th day after the date of the
  meeting, then, not later than the 30th day after the date of the
  meeting, the two appraisers shall appoint a disinterested third
  appraiser certified under Chapter 1103, Occupations Code, to
  reconcile the two previous appraisals in a third appraisal. The
  third appraisal must be completed on or before the 30th day after
  the date of the third appraiser's appointment, and the fair market
  value determined by the third appraisal is final and binding on all
  parties and establishes the purchase price; provided, however, that
  the final purchase price may not be more than the fair market value
  determined by the first appraisal or less than the fair market value
  determined by the second appraisal.
               (6)  The appraisal costs shall be paid by the person who
  requests the appraisal, except that the offeree and the authority
  shall each pay one-half of the cost of the third appraisal if a
  third appraisal is necessary. If the offeree fails to pay its share
  of the third appraisal, the offeree's application of intent to
  purchase will be deemed withdrawn.
               (7)  The timelines for the appraisal process under this
  subsection may be extended upon joint agreement of the authority
  and the offeree.
         (d)  To purchase the Costello Island Property, the offeree
  must:
               (1)  provide to the authority a survey of the Costello
  Island Property that is:
                     (A)  prepared by a licensed state land surveyor or
  a registered professional land surveyor;
                     (B)  dated not earlier than one year before the
  effective date of the Act enacting this section; and
                     (C)  acceptable to the authority and any title
  company providing title insurance for the offeree; and
               (2)  pay all closing costs associated with the sale of
  the property.
         (e)  For any property sold under this section:
               (1)  the authority shall provide a special warranty
  deed that encompasses and includes all interests in the Costello
  Island Property held by the authority, subject only to:
                     (A)  the restrictions, covenants, and
  prohibitions contained in the deed of conveyance under which the
  authority originally acquired title to the property, including
  without limitation any releases of the authority for the
  inundation, overflowing, or flooding of the lake;
                     (B)  the restrictions, covenants, and
  prohibitions described in Section 8502.020(d);
                     (C)  all encumbrances and other matters filed of
  record in the public records of the county in which the property is
  located;
                     (D)  any other matters or conditions that are
  apparent on the ground or that would be reasonably disclosed or
  discovered by an inspection of the property; and
                     (E)  any other rules, regulations, or policies of
  the authority in effect as of January 1, 2013, prohibiting or
  limiting commercial, private, or other on-water facilities for new
  development, and as such rules, regulations, or policies may be
  amended, modified, or discontinued from time to time; and
               (2)  the offeree shall release and agree to hold the
  authority harmless from, and the authority may not be held liable
  for, damages, claims, costs, injuries, or any other harm to any
  offeree or any other person or the Costello Island Property, or to
  any improvements on the property, caused by or arising from any
  temporary flooding of any portion of the Costello Island Property.
         (f)  Any sale of the Costello Island Property under this
  section must allow the authority the right to enter onto the
  Costello Island Property and the lake and other bodies of water, if
  any, located within the Costello Island Property with essential
  equipment for all purposes reasonably necessary for the authority
  to fulfill its obligations as a river authority and any obligations
  set forth in the FERC License, state water rights, or other
  governmental regulations, or for any purpose that the authority
  considers necessary for public safety, health, and welfare. Any
  exercise by the authority of rights described by this subsection
  may be conducted only after written notice is given to the offeree
  at least 48 hours in advance of entry onto the property, except in
  the event of an emergency, in which case advance notice is not
  required, but the authority shall provide written notice as soon as
  practicable. The authority shall use reasonable efforts to avoid
  interfering with the offeree's use of the Costello Island Property
  and shall promptly repair any damage to the property caused by the
  authority's entrance. Any claim to governmental immunity on behalf
  of the authority is waived with respect to the recovery of any
  damage caused by the authority's breach of this subsection.
         (g)  Chapters 232 and 272, Local Government Code, Section
  49.226, Water Code, and Section 8502.013 of this code do not apply
  to a sale of property under this section.
         (h)  The authority may use proceeds from the sale of property
  under this section for any authority purpose.
         (i)  The authority shall reserve its interest in all oil,
  gas, and other minerals in and under the property to be sold, or any
  portion thereof, to the extent the authority owns an interest in
  those minerals.
         (j)  If the conveyance described by this section is not
  completed before the second anniversary of the effective date of
  this Act, this section shall no longer be effective and expires on
  the date of the second anniversary.
         (k)  To the extent of any conflict with other laws of this
  state, this section prevails.
         SECTION 4.  Section 8502.020, Special District Local Laws
  Code, is amended to read as follows:

  commitment that are applicable to or created by the Authority, and,
  notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority shall have no
  obligation to cure any exceptions on the attached Schedule C
  regarding legal right of access to or from the applicable Remaining 
  Leased Tract;
                     (D)  delivering to the applicable title company or
  escrow agent on or before closing on the Leaseholder's Remaining

  date of this subsection [December 31, 2012]; and any applications
  of intent to purchase that are delivered to the Authority prior to
  such date but that are not "complete" as of such date in accordance
  with Subdivision (4) shall be rejected by the Authority.  
  Leaseholders submitting an application of intent to purchase their
  individual Remaining Leased Tracts are responsible for ensuring
  that such application is deemed "complete" on or before the second
  anniversary of the effective date of this subsection [December 31,
  2012].
               (9)  Any Ground Lease that would otherwise expire shall
  be automatically extended as necessary for one year terms to permit
  such Leaseholder the full two-year period to deliver such
  application of intent to purchase such Leaseholder's individual
  Remaining Leased Tract and to complete such transaction no later
  than the expiration of 30 months after the effective date of this
  subsection [June 30, 2013].
               (10)  The Owner of a Remaining Leased Tract sold under

  individual Remaining [a] Leased Tract under this section applies to
  any subsequent Owner of the individual Remaining Leased Tract.
               (14)  At closing on the individual Remaining Leased
  Tract, the Leaseholder shall pay any indebtedness secured by a lien

  is [Leased Tract (or any portion thereof) sold in accordance with
  Subsection (b) or (c) shall be] subject to the [following]
  Restrictions recorded in Palo Pinto, Stephens, Young, and Jack
  Counties, as amended from time to time. After the Date of
  Decommissioning and before the date the Remaining Leased Tract is
  conveyed under Subsection (b) or (c), the Authority, without
  requiring the consent of any Owner, shall further amend the
  Restrictions and record the Amendments to the Restrictions in the
  records of each applicable county, which amendments must (i) add
  the Remaining Commercial Leased Land as part of the Commercial
  Leased Land in the Restrictions; (ii) add the Remaining Residential
  Leased Land as part of the Residential Leased Land in the
  Restrictions; (iii) add the Remaining Undeveloped Strips as part of
  the Undeveloped Strips in the Restrictions; (iv) add the Remaining

  the Restrictions to be substantively in accordance with the
  following[, which shall be included, in substance, in a Declaration
  of Restrictive Covenants, Easements, and Conditions to be prepared
  by the Authority substantively in accordance with the following and
  recorded by the Authority, as declarant, in the applicable county
  records prior to any sale pursuant to Subsection (b) or (c)]:
               [(1)     Subject to Subdivision (10), no Owner, Purchaser,
  or Leaseholder may forbid, restrict, or take any action which
  effectively forbids or restricts the public from using the FERC
  Project Area and the adjacent areas of the Lake in accordance with
  the terms of the FERC License.]
               (2)  Each Owner, Purchaser, and Leaseholder shall agree
  to not block, restrict, or otherwise prohibit access over, through,
  or across any Road and further agrees that such Roads or portion
  thereof shall remain open for use by the Authority, other Owners or
  Purchasers, lessees of any portion of the Property (including
  Leaseholders) and the general public.  Except for (i) those
  portions of the Property that are accessible by water only as of the
  effective date of the Restrictions, and/or (ii) restrictions of
  access existing as of the effective date of the Restrictions (e.g.,
  access to and from public roads that requires traversing real
  property not owned by the Authority, Owners, or Purchasers
  hereunder), and/or (iii) the covenants and restrictions of the
  Ranch Declarations (to the extent applicable to the Roads) or other
  restrictive covenants existing prior to the date the Restrictions
  are recorded of record, no Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder shall
  be permitted to block, restrict, or otherwise prohibit access on,
  over, or across the Roads.
               (3)  The Driveways are not part of the Roads and shall
  be maintained by the Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder of the
  applicable Driveways.  No Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder shall
  obstruct, prevent, or otherwise restrict access on, over or across
  any portion of a common Driveway by any such other Owner, Purchaser,
  or Leaseholder, or their guests or invitees, whose portion of the
  Property is served by such common Driveway.  Owners, Purchasers,
  and/or Leaseholders whose portion of the Property is served by a
  common Driveway shall at all times have a nonexclusive right of
  ingress and egress over and across such common Driveway to access
  their portion of the Property.
               (4)  All grants and dedications of easements,
  rights-of-way, restrictions, and related rights affecting the
  Leased Tract, made prior to the Leased Tract becoming subject to the
  Restrictions and any Amendments to the Restrictions that are of
  record, or visible or apparent, shall be incorporated into such
  Restrictions by reference and made a part of the Restrictions for
  all purposes as if fully set forth therein and shall be construed as
  being adopted in each and every contract, deed, or conveyance
  executed or to be executed by or on behalf of the Authority
  conveying any part of the Leased Tract.  The foregoing adoption of
  such easements includes, without limitation, any and all written
  easements or agreements, whether or not recorded, between the
  Authority and any other party for the installation, maintenance,
  repair, or replacement of utility lines located on, above, over,
  under, or beneath the Property.
               (5)  The Authority shall reserve for itself and its
  successors, assigns, and designees the nonexclusive right and
  easement, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property, the
  Lake and other bodies of water, if any, located within the Property
  (a) to install, keep, maintain, and replace pumps in order to obtain
  water for the irrigation of any portion of the Authority Land, (b)
  to construct, maintain, replace, and repair any wall, dam, or other
  structure retaining water therein, (c) to access, construct,
  maintain, replace, and repair any measurement stations, monuments,
  or other similar improvements, (d) to remove trash and other
  debris, and (e) to fulfill the Authority's obligations as a river
  authority and any obligations set forth in [the FERC License,]
  state water rights[,] or other governmental regulations.  The
  Authority and its designees shall have an access easement through,
  over, and across any portion of the Leased Tract to the extent
  reasonably necessary to exercise the rights and responsibilities
  under this subdivision; provided, however, that (i) the Authority
  shall provide written notice at least 48 hours in advance of such
  entry to the Purchaser or Owner of such portion of the Leased Tract
  (except in the event of an emergency, in which case advance notice
  shall not be required, but the Authority shall provide such written
  notice as soon as practicable thereafter); (ii) the Authority shall
  promptly repair any damage to the portion of the Leased Tract caused
  by the Authority's entrance onto such Owner's or Purchaser's portion
  of the Leased Tract; and (iii) the Authority shall use reasonable
  efforts to avoid interfering with the Owner's or Purchaser's use of
  the portion of the Leased Tract.
               (6)  The Authority shall reserve for itself and its
  successors, assigns, and designees a perpetual right, power,
  privilege, and easement to occasionally overflow, flood, and
  submerge that portion of the Property located at or below the
  elevation contour of 1015' above mean sea level in connection with
  the Authority's operation and maintenance of the Lake.  The
  Authority shall have no liability to any Owner, Purchaser,
  Leaseholder, or any other person for any damages, claims, costs,
  injuries, or liabilities to any person or the Property or any
  improvements thereon that are caused by or arise from any act or
  omission by the Authority in connection with the foregoing right
  and easement.
               (7)  Additional land may be included in the Property or
  Leased Tract at any time by the Authority, as long as the Authority
  owns any portion of the Property, by recording an amendment to these
  Restrictions in each of the counties in which the Property is
  located.  Upon such additions, the Restrictions shall apply to the
  added land and the rights, privileges, duties, and liabilities of
  the Owners or Purchasers subject to the Restrictions shall be the
  same with respect to the added land as with respect to the Property
  originally covered by the Restrictions.  As additional lands are
  added hereto, the Authority shall, with respect to said land,
  record amendments that may incorporate the Restrictions therein by
  reference and that may supplement or modify the Restrictions with
  such additional covenants, restrictions, and conditions that may be
  appropriate for those added lands.
               (8)  The Restrictions may not be modified in any
  respect whatsoever or terminated, in whole or in part, except with
  the consent of (i) the Owners or Purchasers of at least sixty
  percent (60%) of the individual lots that comprise the Residential
  Leased Land and Commercial Leased Land, and (ii) the Owners or
  Purchasers of at least sixty percent (60%) of the land area of the
  Authority Land, and (iii) the Authority, for so long as the
  Authority has any interest in the Property, whether as an Owner or
  [holder of the FERC License or] otherwise.  Notwithstanding the
  foregoing, the Authority, without the joinder of any other party,
  shall have the absolute right to make minor changes or amendments to
  the Restrictions to correct or clarify errors, omissions, mistakes,
  or ambiguities contained therein.  No amendment shall be effective
  until such amendment has been recorded in the Official Public
  Records of each of the counties in which the Property is located.
               (9)  No improvements (except as specifically set forth
  in Subdivision (11)) shall be constructed or located on the Leased
  Tract within twenty-five feet (25') landward measured horizontally
  from the 1000' contour line of the Lake, a meander line that changes
  over time due to natural forces, such as erosion and accretion;
  provided, however, this restriction shall not include improvements
  inside this setback that are existing at the time the Restrictions
  are filed that [(i)] have been approved in writing by the
  Authority[, and (ii) if such improvements are located within the
  FERC Project Area, have been approved by the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission (and to the extent not already approved by
  the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Authority intends to
  file an application to obtain permission for the existing
  encroachments into the FERC Project Area to remain in place)].  In
  addition, no improvements on the Leased Tract (or any portion
  thereof) shall be constructed or located within five feet (5') of
  any other boundary line (i.e., the side and back boundary lines),
  other than fences; provided, however, this restriction shall not
  include improvements located within this 5' setback that are
  existing at the time the Restrictions are filed and that have been
  approved in writing by the Authority.
               [(10)     No Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder shall have
  any rights to construct any improvements or fencing that block or
  restrict access to the FERC Project Area, except with the written
  consent of the Authority, to be granted or withheld in its sole
  discretion, and except in compliance with the FERC License.   This
  limitation does not apply to fences located within the Leased Tract
  and outside the FERC Project Area.]
               (11)  Erosion control improvements (such as retaining
  walls, rip rap, etc.) and landscape planting may not be constructed
  or located [within the FERC Project Area or] at or below the 1000'
  contour line without the prior written approval of the Authority.  
  Such improvements shall be subject to the terms and conditions set
  forth in the Restrictions[, in the FERC License, in any other
  Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rules and regulations,] and in
  the Authority's regulations, including without limitation, the
  Shoreline Management Plan.
               (12)  No Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder shall have
  the right to place, or permit to be placed, any advertisements,
  private notices, signs, or billboards on the Residential Leased
  Land [Tract] except that temporary signage customarily found on
  residential property may be placed on the Residential Leased Land
  at the reasonable discretion of the Owner, Purchaser, and/or
  Leaseholder of that portion of the Residential Leased Land.
               (13)  No activities shall be conducted on the Leased
  Tract and no improvements constructed on the Leased Tract that are
  or might be unsafe or hazardous to any person or property.
               (14)  No Owner, Purchaser, Leaseholder, or occupant of
  any portion of the Leased Tract shall use or permit the use,
  handling, generation, storage, release, disposal, or
  transportation of Hazardous Materials on, about, or under the
  Leased Tract except for such quantities that are routinely utilized
  in connection with residential use (for all portions of the Leased
  Tract except the Commercial Leased Land) or for commercial uses
  that are in compliance with the Restrictions (for the Commercial
  Leased Land), and that are stored, used, and disposed of in
  compliance with all Environmental Laws.  Each Owner, Purchaser, and
  Leaseholder shall indemnify, defend, protect, and save the
  Authority, its successors and assigns, trustees, directors,
  employees, and officers and each other Owner, Purchaser, and
  Leaseholder, harmless from and against, and shall reimburse such
  indemnified parties for, all liabilities, obligations, losses,
  claims, damages, fines, penalties, costs, charges, judgments, and
  expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
  fees and expenses that may be imposed upon or incurred or paid by or
  asserted against such indemnified parties by reason of or in
  connection with such Owner's, Purchaser's, or Leaseholder's failure
  to comply with this subdivision.
               (15)  No Owner or Purchaser shall conduct, or permit to
  be conducted, any activity on the Leased Tract that is improper,
  immoral, noxious, annoying, creates a nuisance, or is otherwise
  objectionable to other Owners or Purchasers or incompatible with
  the recreational use of the Lake and the Authority Land [FERC
  Project Area].
               (16)  The Residential Leased Land (and any Undeveloped
  Strips that are conveyed to an Owner or Purchaser as part of the
  Residential Leased Land pursuant to Subsection (b) or (c)) shall be
  improved and used solely for single-family residential use,
  inclusive of a garage, fencing, and other such related improvements
  as are necessary or customarily incident to normal residential use
  and enjoyment and for no other use.  No portion of the Residential
  Leased Land (and any Undeveloped Strips that are conveyed to an
  Owner or Purchaser as part of the Residential Leased Land pursuant
  to Subsection (b) or (c)) shall be used for manufacturing,
  industrial, business, commercial, institutional, or other
  nonresidential purpose, save and except as set forth in Subdivision
  (17).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owners, Purchasers, and/or
  Leaseholders shall be permitted to conduct a "garage sale" on their
  respective portion of the Residential Leased Land (and any
  Undeveloped Strips that are conveyed to an Owner or Purchaser as
  part of the Residential Leased Land pursuant to either Subsection
  (b) or (c)) not more than one time per calendar year.
               (17)  No professional, business, or commercial
  activity to which the general public is invited shall be conducted
  on the Residential Leased Land (and any Undeveloped Strips that are
  conveyed to an Owner or Purchaser as part of the Residential Leased
  Land pursuant to Subsection (b) or (c)); except an Owner,
  Purchaser, Leaseholder, or occupant of a residence may conduct
  business activities within a residence so long as: (a) the
  existence or operation of the business activity is not apparent or
  detectable by sight, sound, or smell from outside the residence;
  (b) the business activity conforms to all zoning requirements; (c)
  the business activity does not involve door-to-door solicitation of
  residents, lessees, Leaseholders, Owners, or Purchasers within the
  Property; (d) the business does not generate a level of vehicular or
  pedestrian traffic or a number of vehicles parked within the
  Property that is noticeably greater than that which is typical of
  residences in which no business activity is being conducted; and
  (e) the business activity is consistent with the residential
  character of the Residential Leased Land and does not constitute a
  nuisance, or a hazardous or offensive use, or threaten the security
  or safety of other residents, lessees, Owners, Purchasers, or
  Leaseholders of the Property.  The terms "business" and "trade", as
  used in this provision, shall be construed to have their ordinary,
  generally accepted meanings and shall include, without limitation,
  any occupation, work, or activity undertaken on an ongoing basis
  that involves the provision of goods or services to persons other
  than the provider's family and for which the provider receives a
  fee, compensation, or other form of consideration, regardless of
  whether: (x) such activity is engaged in full or part-time; (y) such
  activity is intended to or does generate a profit; or (z) a license
  is required.  Leasing of a residence shall not be considered a
  business or trade within the meaning of this subsection.  This
  subdivision shall not apply to any activity conducted by the
  Authority.
               (18)  Except as may be otherwise provided in the
  Restrictions and any Amendments to the Restrictions, Commercial
  Leased Land (and any Undeveloped Strips that are conveyed to an
  Owner or Purchaser as part of the Commercial Leased Land pursuant to
  Subsection (b) or (c)) may be improved and used for any lawful
  commercial purpose, including without limitation, nonprofit
  organizations or governmental or quasi-governmental agencies.
               (19)  No portion of the Leased Tract may be used for the
  commercial testing or development of wind power, or to produce,
  lease, store, and/or transmit electrical power generated thereby
  for commercial or resale purposes.
               (20)  Each Owner or Purchaser shall keep, or cause to be
  kept, all improvements located on its respective portion of the
  Leased Tract maintained in good condition and repair, clean and
  free of rubbish and other hazards, and otherwise in full accordance
  with the Restrictions and all governmental rules, regulations,
  codes, and zoning requirements.  Such maintenance shall include,
  but not be limited to, the following:  regular and timely removal of
  all litter, garbage, trash, and waste; regular lawn mowing; tree,
  shrub, and plant pruning and trimming; watering of landscaped
  areas; weed control; pest control; maintaining exterior lighting
  and mechanical facilities in good working order; keeping walks and
  driveways clean and in good repair; and the repairing and
  repainting of the exterior improvements visible to neighboring
  properties and/or public view.
               (21)  In the event of any damage to or destruction of
  any building or improvement on any portion of the Leased Tract from
  any cause whatsoever, the Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder upon
  whose portion of the Leased Tract the casualty occurred shall, at
  such Owner's, Purchaser's, or Leaseholder's sole option, either (i)
  repair, restore, or rebuild and complete the same with reasonable
  diligence, (ii) clear the affected area of all hazardous or
  dangerous debris and structures and lawfully dispose of same within
  one year from the date of casualty, or (iii) effectuate any
  combination of clauses (i) and (ii) of this subdivision as such
  Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder may deem reasonably
  appropriate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
  Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder elects to rebuild buildings or
  improvements that were located within [the FERC Project Area or
  within] twenty-five feet (25') landward measured horizontally from
  the 1000' contour line that were approved in accordance with
  Subdivision (9), such buildings or improvements shall be rebuilt in
  accordance with Subdivision (24).
               (22)  The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has
  adopted rules governing on-site sewage facilities (also called
  septic systems).  The Authority is the commission's authorized
  agent for the septic system licensing program, including the
  enforcement of the commission's septic system rules and regulations
  for the Property.  The Authority, as the agent for the commission,
  shall have the authority to access the Property for the purpose of
  issuing such licenses, inspecting such septic systems, and
  enforcing any and all rules and regulations related thereto.  Each
  Owner, Purchaser, and Leaseholder agrees to comply with all
  sanitary regulations and the licensing process adopted by the
  commission and enforced by the Authority, as its agent, from time to
  time.
               (23)  The Owner or Purchaser shall be responsible, at
  such Owner's or Purchaser's expense, for providing for the
  collection, removal, and disposal of all solid waste on the Leased
  Tract; or the Owner or Purchaser of any portion of the Leased Tract
  shall be responsible for ensuring that the Leaseholders provide for
  such collection, removal, and disposal of all solid waste on the
  applicable portion of the Leased Tract.  In the event the Ranch
  fails to provide for the collection, removal, and disposal of all
  solid waste related to the Ranch, the Owner or Purchaser shall be
  responsible for providing for the same.
               (24)  [(i) An Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder, subject
  to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, may
  repair, alter, or rebuild improvements located within the FERC
  Project Area, which improvements were previously approved in
  accordance with Subdivision (9); provided, however, such repairs,
  alterations, and/or rebuilding shall not extend beyond the
  footprint of the existing or previously existing improvement.
                           [(ii)]  An Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder
  may repair, alter, or rebuild improvements located above the 1000' 
  contour line [outside the FERC Project Area] but within 25'
  landward measured horizontally from the 1000' contour line, and/or
  improvements located within the 5' boundary setback, which
  improvements were previously approved in accordance with
  Subdivision (9).  Such repairs, alterations, or rebuilding may
  extend such improvements outside the previously existing footprint
  towards the side boundaries and back boundary of the applicable
  Leased Tract, but such improvements may not be extended towards the
  shoreline or encroach closer to the 1000' contour line of the Lake
  than the existing or previously existing improvements.
               (25)  The Authority shall reserve its rights, title,
  and interest in all oil, gas, and other minerals in and under any
  and all Property, including the Leased Tract.
               (26)  No land located at or below the 1000' contour line 
  [within the FERC Project Area] shall be improved, used, or
  occupied, except in such manner as shall have been approved by the
  Authority [and, to the extent required, by the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission].  No docks, piers, on-water facilities,
  retaining walls, or any other structures or facilities shall be
  built, installed, or maintained in, on, or over the waters of the
  Lake [or within the FERC Project Area] except as authorized by the
  Authority.  All such structures or facilities shall be subject to
  all rules and regulations applicable to the Lake [and the FERC
  Project Area], as the same may be adopted or amended from time to
  time.  Owner, Purchaser, and/or the Leaseholder shall be
  responsible for any fees or annual charges assessed by the
  Authority [and/or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission] for
  such permit or improvements and shall be responsible for ensuring
  that any such improvements are consistent with the [FERC License,]
  Shoreline Management Plan[,] and all other rules and regulations
  applicable to the Property [FERC Project Area].  Owner or Purchaser
  shall not, at any time, permit any liens to encumber the Authority
  Land [FERC Project Area].
               (27)  No use of the Lake or other bodies of water within
  the Property, if any, shall be made except in accordance with the
  [FERC License, the] Shoreline Management Plan, the Authority's
  regulations, and any other rules and regulations that may be
  promulgated by the [Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and/or
  the] Authority at any time and as amended from time to time.  Any
  such use shall be subject to the Authority's [and the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission's] superior use rights.  The Authority shall
  not be responsible for any loss, damage, or injury to any person or
  property arising out of the authorized or unauthorized use of the
  Lake or other bodies of water within or adjacent to the Property.
               (28)  The Authority may use and regulate the Lake or
  other bodies of water within the Property for the irrigation of the
  Authority Land, or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the
  Authority, subject to the rights and authority of any [the Federal
  Energy Regulatory Commission or] other governmental entity having
  jurisdiction of such areas, and subject to the water rights granted
  (or which may be granted) to the Authority by the State of
  Texas.  The Authority's rights under this subdivision shall be
  superior to any rights of any Owner, Purchaser, or
  Leaseholder.  This subdivision shall not be construed to limit or
  restrict the rights and authority of any [the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission or] other governmental entity having
  jurisdiction of the Property.
               (29)  Owners or Purchasers must obtain written
  permission from the Authority in accordance with the Authority's
  regulations to use or divert water from the Lake on any portion of
  the Leased Tract for domestic or commercial purposes.
               (30)  No Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder shall be
  permitted to divert or alter the natural drainage of the terrain or
  clear vegetation on any portion of the Property in such a manner
  that would cause unnatural erosion or silting of the Lake.
               (31)  Owners, Purchasers, and Leaseholders shall take
  all reasonable precautions to ensure that all use of and activities
  on the Leased Tract [and the FERC Project Area], including without
  limitation, the construction, operation, and maintenance of any
  improvements on the Leased Tract[, and/or FERC Project Area] occur
  in a manner that [is in compliance with the FERC License and that]
  will protect the scenic, recreational, and environmental values of
  the Lake.  The Authority[, as a licensee of the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission,] has specific approval authority on any
  proposed construction that impacts the [FERC Project Area or]
  lakebed, and Owner, Purchaser, and Leaseholder shall comply with
  the approval process as may be established by the Authority [and/or
  the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission] from time to time.
               [(32)     Structures in place within the FERC Project Area
  shall be subject to the FERC License, as the same may be amended
  and/or renewed from time to time.   Any structures erected in the
  FERC Project Area after May 15, 1980 (the date of the amendment to
  the previous FERC License) may be required to be removed at the
  expense of the owner of the improvement, unless such improvements
  are approved in writing by the Authority in accordance with the FERC
  License.   In no event shall this subdivision grant any
  authorization for a violation of any rules or regulations of the
  Authority, the FERC License, or any state, federal, or local law.]
               (33)  The Owner, Purchaser, and Leaseholder of any
  portion of the Property [Leased Tract] shall comply with all of the
  following rules and regulations, as applicable:
                     (A)  [the Shoreline Management Plan and any
  amendments or revisions to that document to the extent such
  Shoreline Management Plan applies to the Owner's, Purchaser's,
  and/or Leaseholder's portion of the Leased Tract;
                     [(B)     the applicable rules, regulations, and
  order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission including,
  without limitation the FERC License;
                     [(C)]  the Authority's "Regulations for
  Governance for Brazos River Authority Lakes and Associated Lands,"
  as published on the Authority's Internet website and as those
  regulations may be amended from time to time; and
                     (B) [(D)]  other rules and regulations adopted by
  the Authority regarding conduct on and use of the Lake [or the
  Property].
               (34)  By Texas statute, the Authority is empowered to
  adopt and has adopted certain regulations governing conduct on and
  use of the Property [within the FERC Project Area] and Lake.  
  Owners, Purchasers, Leaseholders, and persons using the Leased
  Tract with such Owners' or Purchasers' consent shall abide by all
  such rules and regulations adopted from time to time by the
  Authority and any future revisions and amendments thereto.
               (35)  Owners, Purchasers, and Leaseholders of that
  portion of the Leased Tract that is part of the Ranch shall comply
  with the terms and conditions of the Ranch Agreement and the
  covenants and restrictions set forth in the Ranch Declarations, to
  the extent applicable to such portion of the Leased Tract.  As to
  that portion of the Property that is part of the Ranch, the Ranch
  Declarations shall control in the event of any conflict between the
  covenants, restrictions, and conditions set forth in the Ranch
  Declarations and the Restrictions.  Owners, Purchasers, and
  Leaseholders of a portion of the Leased Tract that is part of any
  other subdivision shall comply with the terms and conditions of the
  covenants and restrictions governing the subdivision that apply to
  the portion of the Leased Tract. Any portion of the Property that
  is part of the subdivision is governed by the restrictions and
  covenants governing the subdivision which shall control in the
  event of a conflict between the covenants, restrictions, and
  conditions governing the subdivision and the Restrictions and
  Amendments to the Restrictions.
               (36)  In order to maintain the quality of the Lake's
  water, the stability of the shoreline, and of the environment in the
  Lake's vicinity, each Owner, Purchaser, and Leaseholder of all or
  any portion of the Leased Tract agrees to:
                     (A)  comply with any local, state, or federal laws
  related to water quality or the environment, including laws
  governing toxic wastes and hazardous substances;
                     (B)  if the Owner's or Purchaser's private on-site
  sewerage facility is not licensed by the Texas Commission on
  Environmental Quality (or any successor to such Commission) then
  the Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder shall connect to and use, at
  the Owner's, Purchaser's, or Leaseholder's expense, as applicable,
  any wastewater treatment system or service that becomes available
  to the Owner's or Purchaser's portion of the Leased Tract, not later
  than twelve (12) months after the system or service becomes
  available to such portion of the Leased Tract and thereafter
  discontinue use of any private on-site sewerage facility; and if,
  at any time after a wastewater treatment system or service becomes
  available to the Owner's or Purchaser's portion of the Leased Tract,
  the Owner's or Purchaser's private on-site sewerage facility
  (whether licensed or not) requires either replacement or an
  alteration or change in the on-site sewerage facility resulting in
  (i) an increase in the volume of permitted flow, (ii) a change in
  the nature of permitted influent, (iii) a change from the planning
  materials approved by the permitting authority, (iv) a change in
  construction, and/or (v) an increase, lengthening, or expansion of
  the treatment or disposal system, then such Owner or Purchaser
  shall promptly connect to and use, at the Owner's, Purchaser's, or
  Leaseholder's expense, as applicable, such wastewater treatment
  system or service and thereafter discontinue use of any private
  on-site sewerage facility.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
  event a property owners association or municipality requires the
  Owners or Purchasers of the portion of the Leased Tract that is
  included in such association or municipality to connect to a
  wastewater system or service, then such association or municipality
  rules shall control;
                     (C)  obtain written consent of the Authority prior
  to diverting or pumping water from the Lake or any body of water
  within or adjacent to the Property, constructing or erecting any
  embankment or retaining wall, or commencing any dredging activity;
  and
                     (D)  pay to the Authority any reasonable fee
  related thereto (e.g., water usage, recreational user, dredging, or
  retaining wall fees) as may be adopted from time to time by the
  Authority.
               (37)  Each Owner or Purchaser of all or any portion of
  the Leased Tract agrees and acknowledges that the water level in the
  Lake varies and that the Authority is not responsible for
  maintaining the Lake at any certain level or above or below any
  certain level.
               (38)  The Authority is not responsible or liable for
  any personal injury or damage to any Owner, Purchaser, Leaseholder,
  the Leased Tract, the Property, or any improvements caused by any
  increase or decrease in the water level (even if such increase or
  decrease is due to modifications of the Morris Sheppard (Possum
  Kingdom) Dam or other actions or omissions of the Authority) or
  caused by natural flooding.
               (39)  The Authority shall reserve the right of ingress
  and egress for the Authority and any person authorized by the
  Authority, including an agent of the Authority or employees, over
  and across the Leased Tract and any and all on-water facilities
  whether located within the Leased Tract or Authority Land [FERC
  Project Area] for all reasonable purposes of the Authority,
  including, without limitation, the construction, maintenance,
  repair, and/or replacements of any roads, drainage facilities, and
  power, water, wastewater, and other utility mains and lines that
  the Authority considers necessary or beneficial and for public
  safety, health, and welfare purposes; provided however, that:
                     (A)  the Authority shall provide written notice at
  least 48 hours in advance of such entry to the Purchaser or Owner of
  such portion of the Leased Tract (except in the event of an
  emergency, in which case advance notice shall not be required, but
  the Authority shall provide such written notice as soon as
  practicable thereafter), which notice shall state with reasonable
  specificity the purpose for such entry;
                     (B)  the Authority shall promptly repair any
  damage to the portion of the Leased Tract caused by the Authority's
  entrance onto such Owner's or Purchaser's portion of the Leased
  Tract; and
                     (C)  the Authority shall use reasonable efforts to
  avoid interfering with the Owner's or Purchaser's use of the portion
  of the Leased Tract.
               (40)  Each Owner, Purchaser, and Leaseholder shall
  comply strictly with the Restrictions, as the same may be amended
  from time to time.  Failure to comply with the Restrictions shall
  constitute a violation of the Restrictions, and shall give rise to a
  cause of action to recover sums due for damages or injunctive relief
  or both, maintainable by the Authority or other Owners or
  Purchaser; provided however, no Owner, Purchaser, Leaseholder, or
  other person shall have any right of action against the Authority
  arising under the Restrictions.
               (41)  The Authority shall make no warranty or
  representation as to the present or future validity or
  enforceability of any such restrictive covenants, terms, or
  provisions.  Any Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder acquiring or
  leasing, as applicable, any portion of the Property in reliance on
  one or more of the Restrictions shall assume all risks of the
  validity and enforceability thereof and, by acquiring such portion
  of the Property, agrees to hold the Authority harmless therefrom.
               (42)  If the Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder of any
  portion of the Leased Tracts or on-water facilities related thereto
  (including retaining walls) shall fail to comply with the
  requirements of the Restrictions, then the Authority shall have the
  right, but not the obligation, following thirty (30) days prior
  written notice to such defaulting person [owner] to enter such
  defaulting person's [owner's] portion of the Leased Tract (but only
  if such failure to comply results in a public health, safety, or
  welfare concern) and/or such defaulting person's [owner's] on-water
  facility and cure such breach, the cost of which shall be reimbursed
  by such defaulting person [owner] to the Authority upon demand.  Any
  such unpaid amounts, together with interest thereon (at the rate of
  six percent (6%) per annum) and the costs of collection (if any),
  shall be charged as a continuing lien against such defaulting
  person's [owner's] portion of the Leased Tract, which lien shall be
  subordinate to the lien of any third-party deed of trust previously
  recorded against such defaulting person's [owner's] portion of the
  Leased Tract.
               (43)  A person shall be deemed to be in default of the
  Restrictions only upon the expiration of thirty (30) days (ten (10)
  days in the event of failure to pay money) from receipt of written
  notice from the Authority or other Owner or Purchaser specifying
  the particulars in which such person has failed to perform the
  obligations of the Restrictions unless such person, prior to the
  expiration of said thirty (30) days (ten (10) days in the event of
  failure to pay money), has rectified the particulars specified in
  said notice of default.  However, such person shall not be deemed to
  be in default if such failure (except a failure to pay money) cannot
  be rectified within said thirty (30) day period and such person
  commences the cure of such default within such thirty (30) day
  period and thereafter is continuously using good faith and its best
  efforts to rectify the particulars specified in the notice of
  default.
               (44)  The Authority shall have the right, but not the
  obligation, to enforce all of the provisions of the Restrictions.  
  Any Owner or Purchaser shall have the right to enforce all of the
  provisions of the Restrictions against any other Owner, Purchaser,
  or Leaseholder, but not against the Authority.  Such right of
  enforcement shall include the right to sue for both damages for, and
  injunctive relief against, the breach of any such provision.  
  Furthermore, the Authority shall have the right, when appropriate
  in its sole judgment and discretion, to claim or impose a lien upon
  any portion of the Leased Tract, or improvement constructed
  thereon, in order to enforce any right or effect compliance with the
  Restrictions.
               (45)  The failure of a person (including the Authority
  or any Owner or Purchaser) to insist upon strict performance of any
  of the Restrictions shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or
  remedies that said person may have, and shall not be deemed a waiver
  of any subsequent breach or default in the performance of any of the
  Restrictions by the same or any other person.
               (46)  The Authority shall not be liable to any Owner,
  Purchaser, or Leaseholder, or to any other person for any loss,
  damage, or injury arising out of or in any way connected with the
  performance or nonperformance of the Authority's rights,
  obligations, or privileges under the Restrictions.  Without
  limiting the foregoing, the Authority shall not be liable to any
  Owner, Purchaser, or Leaseholder due to the construction of any
  improvements within the Property.
               (47)  Each of the Restrictions on the Leased Tract
  shall be a burden on each portion of the Leased Tract, shall be
  appurtenant to and for the benefit of the other portions of the 
  Property, other portions of the Leased Tract, and each part
  thereof, and shall run with the land.
               (48)  The Restrictions shall inure to the benefit of
  and be binding upon the Owners or Purchasers, their heirs,
  successors, assigns, and personal representatives, and upon any
  person acquiring all or any portion of the Leased Tract, or any
  interest therein, whether by operation of law or otherwise.  
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Owner or Purchaser sells or
  transfers all or any portion of such Owner's or Purchaser's interest
  in all or any portion of the Leased Tract, such Owner or Purchaser
  shall, upon the sale and conveyance of title, be released and
  discharged from all of its obligations as Owner or Purchaser in
  connection with the property sold by it arising under the
  Restrictions after the sale and conveyance of title but shall
  remain liable for all obligations arising under the Restrictions
  prior to the sale and conveyance of title.  The new Owner or
  Purchaser of all or any such portion of the Leased Tract,
  (including, without limitation, any Owner (or Lienholder) who
  acquires its interest by foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise)
  shall be liable for all obligations arising under the Restrictions
  with respect to such portion of the Leased Tract on and/or after the
  date of sale and conveyance of title.  The Authority may assign, in
  whole or in part, any of its privileges, exemptions, rights, and
  obligations (if any) under the Restrictions to any other person and
  may permit the participation, in whole or in part, by any other
  person in any of its privileges, exemptions, rights, and
  obligations (if any) hereunder.
               (49)  Except as provided in this subsection, the term
  of the Restrictions shall be for a period of fifty (50) years from
  the date such Restrictions are executed by the
  Authority.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration of
  such period, the term of the Restrictions shall automatically renew
  for successive periods of five (5) years each unless, at least
  ninety (90) days prior to the date of expiration of any period then
  in effect, (i) the Owners or Purchasers of at least sixty percent
  (60%) of the individual lots that comprise the Residential Leased
  Land and the Commercial Leased Land, (ii) the Owners or Purchasers
  of at least sixty percent (60%) of the land area of the Authority
  Land, and (iii) the Authority, for so long as the Authority has any
  interest in the Property, whether as an Owner or [holder of the FERC
  License or] otherwise, duly execute, acknowledge and record in the
  office of the recorder of the counties in which the Property is
  located a written termination notice, in which event, the
  Restrictions shall automatically expire at the end of the period
  then in effect.
               (50)  Any subdivision by an Owner of the Owner's portion
  of the Leased Tract is subject to all applicable laws, rules,
  regulations, codes, and ordinances, including any applicable
  platting requirements, and any rules and restrictions relating to
  on-site sewage facilities.
         (e)  Buffer Zone.  Notwithstanding any provision in this
  subsection to the contrary, a sale under Subsection (b) or (c) shall
  be subject to the following:
               (1)  The Remaining [If at the time Closing occurs under
  Subsection (b) or if at the time a Leaseholder completes the
  purchase of the applicable Leased Tract from the Authority pursuant
  to Subsection (c), as applicable, the Buffer Zone, or any portion
  thereof, has been removed from the FERC Project Area, the] Leased
  Tract being conveyed under Subsection (b) or (c) shall include the
  applicable [that] portion of the Buffer Zone [so removed];
  provided, however, the Purchaser and/or Owner, as applicable, shall
  grant the Authority access to the Buffer Zone [FERC Project Area]
  and Lake to allow the Authority to fulfill its obligations as a
  River Authority and any obligations set forth in [the FERC
  License,] state water rights[,] or other governmental regulations.
               (2)  At [If at] the time of Closing on the Initial
  Leased Tract [occurs] under Subsection (b), [or if at the time a
  Leaseholder closes on the purchase of the applicable Leased Tract
  from the Authority pursuant to Subsection (c), as applicable, the
  Buffer Zone, or any portion thereof, has not been removed from the
  FERC Project Area and] a portion of the Initial Leased Tract is
  located within the Buffer Zone and is a part of the FERC Project
  Area, and therefore the Authority shall provide such Purchaser
  and/or Owner, as applicable, a residual interest in that portion of
  the Buffer Zone adjacent to the Initial Leased Tract and covered by
  the applicable residential Ground Lease, such residual interest to
  automatically vest upon satisfaction of one [either] of the
  following conditions:
                     (A)  the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
  approves an amendment to the FERC License removing the Buffer Zone
  from the boundaries prescribed by the FERC License such that the
  Buffer Zone is no longer subject to regulation by the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission; [or]
                     (B)  the FERC License expires (and is not renewed
  or extended) or is otherwise terminated and thus the Buffer Zone is
  no longer subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory
  Commission; or
                     (C)  the Date of Decommissioning occurs.
               (3)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such residual
  interest has not vested on or before August 31, 2040, then such
  residual interest shall be terminated and of no further force and
  effect.  Upon satisfaction of one [either] of the foregoing
  conditions prior to August 31, 2040, this conveyance shall be
  automatically effective without necessity of further
  documentation.  From and after the date such conveyance becomes
  effective, the Buffer Zone shall be considered to be a part of the
  Initial Leased Tract conveyed under Subsection (b) [or (c)] and the
  Purchaser or then current Owner of the applicable Initial Leased
  Tract shall be the beneficiary of the residual interest created
  herein, but only as to the portion of the Buffer Zone located
  adjacent to the Purchaser's or Owner's property and all right,
  title, and interest in such adjacent portion of the Buffer Zone as
  measured by extending the boundary lines on both sides of the
  applicable portion of the Initial Leased Tract in a straight line
  across the Buffer Zone to the then current 1000' contour line of the
  Lake, or, if such portion cannot reasonably be measured as set forth
  above, then as otherwise determined by the Purchaser and approved
  by the Authority.  Such residual interest shall immediately vest in
  the Purchaser or then-current Owner of such adjacent portion of the
  Initial Leased Tract without the necessity of any additional
  written conveyance.
               (4)  Until the residual interest in the Buffer Zone
  vests in the Purchaser or then-current Owner of the adjacent
  portion of the Initial Leased Tract as set forth in Subdivision (3), 
  [In the event a sale under Subsection (b) or (c) does not include
  the Buffer Zone or any portion thereof, or only includes a residual
  interest in the Buffer Zone or any portion thereof, then] such
  Buffer Zone shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the
  residential Ground Lease in effect between the Leaseholder and the
  Authority at the time Closing occurs under Subsection (b) [or at the
  time the Leaseholder purchases the applicable Leased Tract under
  Subsection (c)]; provided, however, no rent shall be due the
  Authority under such Ground Lease for the Buffer Zone.  At such time
  as the applicable Ground Lease expires or is otherwise terminated,
  the Authority may, subject to approval of the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission, grant the Purchaser or the then-current
  Owner of the adjacent tract (as determined pursuant to the method
  set forth in Subdivision (2)(B)), an easement for use of such
  portion of the Buffer Zone, which easement shall be subject to the
  FERC License.  The Authority shall retain ownership of such portion
  of the Buffer Zone and exercise control over such portion of the
  Buffer Zone consistent with the FERC License and this subsection.  
  The easement granted to such Owner shall be limited to uses
  permitted under the terms of the FERC License and the Authority's
  Shoreline Management Plan, and any other Authority rules and
  regulations as may be adopted from time to time.
         (f)  Purchase Price.  For purposes of determining the
  purchase price and/or lease rate pursuant to the options set forth
  in Subsection (b)(1) or the purchase price in Subsection (c), in the
  event the appraisal district does not provide an assessed value for
  the applicable portion of the Leased Tract for the applicable year,
  then the land only assessed value without any exemptions for the
  applicable portion of the Leased Tract shall be calculated based on
  the assessed value per square foot of comparable lots with similar
  physical characteristics in the applicable county or adjoining
  counties, as determined by the Authority.
         (g)  Roads.  Authority or Purchaser, whichever is
  applicable, shall transfer its interest in the Roads to the
  applicable county in which the Roads, or any portion thereof, are
  situated as follows:
               (1)  All Roads located in Stephens County
  (approximately three miles of Roads) shall be transferred to
  Stephens County on or before December 31, 2011.
               (2)  All Roads located in Palo Pinto County
  (approximately forty-six miles of Roads) shall be transferred to
  Palo Pinto County in twenty percent increments of the total mileage
  per year for five consecutive years.  The first twenty percent
  increment shall be transferred on or before December 31, 2011, and
  each remaining twenty percent increment shall be transferred on or
  before December 31 of each subsequent year, but not before January 1
  of such year unless approved by an order or resolution of the Palo
  Pinto County Commissioners Court, with the final twenty percent
  increment being transferred on or before December 31, 2015, but not
  before January 1, 2015, unless approved by an order or resolution of
  the Palo Pinto County Commissioners Court.
               (3)  Authority or Purchaser, whichever is applicable,
  in consultation with the Palo Pinto County Commissioner or
  Commissioners who have jurisdiction over the Leased Tract, shall
  determine which Roads or portions thereof shall be transferred each
  year.
               (4)  The transfer of any portion of the Roads located
  within the FERC Project Area shall be in accordance with the FERC
  License and may be in the form of a grant of a right-of-way or
  easement, unless otherwise authorized by the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission.
               (5)  Beginning on the date of transfer, the Authority
  or Purchaser, whichever is applicable, shall no longer have any
  obligations regarding such Roads.  The Roads shall be transferred
  in their "as-is" condition and neither the Authority nor the
  Purchaser shall have any obligation to ensure that the Roads, or any
  portion thereof, comply with the standards in effect at the time of
  transfer in the applicable county for like roads currently
  maintained by that county.
               (6)  Concurrently with the transfer in each year of a
  portion of the Roads, the Authority or Purchaser, as applicable,
  shall transfer to Palo Pinto County the amount, rounded to the
  nearest dollar, computed by multiplying $200,000 by a fraction the
  numerator of which is the number of miles of Roads located in and
  transferred to Palo Pinto County in that year and the denominator of
  which is the total number of miles of Roads located in and
  transferred or to be transferred to Palo Pinto County.  For every
  other county in which a portion of the Roads is located, the
  Authority or Purchaser, as applicable, shall transfer an amount
  equal to (A) the per mile road payment (as defined below) multiplied
  by (B) the number of miles of the Roads located in such county.  As
  used in this subdivision, "per mile road payment" means the amount,
  rounded to the nearest dollar, computed by dividing $200,000 by the
  total number of miles of Roads located in and transferred or to be
  transferred to Palo Pinto County pursuant to this subsection.
               (7)  Notwithstanding any provision in this subsection
  to the contrary, the Authority or Purchaser, as applicable, shall
  retain ownership of any portion of a Road that is inaccessible to
  the public.  For purposes of this subdivision, a portion of the Road
  is considered inaccessible to the public if, as of the effective
  date of the Act enacting this section, the public can only access
  such portion of the Road by crossing property not owned by the
  Authority or Purchaser, as applicable, and not subject to an
  easement or other ownership interest that allows the public to
  cross such property without restriction.  If a retained portion of a
  Road subsequently becomes accessible to the public, the Authority
  or Purchaser, as applicable, shall transfer such retained portion,
  including any interest the Authority or Purchaser has in any
  additional Road constructed or acquired by the Authority or
  Purchaser in order to make the retained portion of the Road
  accessible to the public, to the applicable county in accordance
  with the process set forth in this subsection, or in the event such
  portion of the Road becomes accessible to the public after December
  31, 2015, within one (1) year of such retained portion of the Road
  becoming accessible.
         (h)  Platting.  A sale of the Leased Tract under this section
  shall not be subject to Chapter 232, Local Government Code, or any
  other platting requirement.
         (i)  Mineral Interests.  The Authority shall reserve its
  interest in all oil, gas, and other minerals in and under the Leased
  Tract (or any portion thereof) sold under this section.
         (j)  Expiration of Requirement to Sell.  The requirement that
  the Authority conduct a sale of the Remaining Leased Tract under
