EXHIBIT "C"
LIFE ESTATE AGREEMENT
Through this Special Warranty Deed Warranty Deed, Dena Marie Mahaffey Brown, Joseph Duane
Mahaffey, and John I. Mahaffey (collectively, the "Grantor"), have conveyed to the City of Fort Worth,
Texas ("Grantee") a remainder interest in the Property, including all improvements thereon, reserving a life
estate in the Property. The life estate terminates upon the death of John I. Mahaffey. Upon the death of John
I. Mahaffey, Grantor shall provide written notice of his death to Grantee.
Grantor and Grantee wish to enter into this Life Estate Agreement to establish the rights and
responsibilities of each with respect to the Property.
During the term of the life estate, the Grantor, at its sole expense, shall:
a. Maintain the Property in good condition, including (1) the upkeep and repair of
improvements to protect the Property from loss of value and damage, (2) routine maintenance such as
mowing and landscaping maintenance, snow removal where applicable, painting, termite and other pest
prevention, and all other types of routine maintenance, (3) all minor and major repairs and capital
improvements, such as roof replacement and mechanical systems repairs and replacements, and (4) all other
actions in order to maintain the Property in compliance with all applicable codes, laws, regulations, and
ordinances. If the Property is damaged from any cause, the Grantor, at its sole expense, shall repair the
damage unless the Grantor and Grantee agree that it is impractical to do so, in which case any insurance
proceeds from insurance carried by the Grantor shall be divided between the Grantor and Grantee in
accordance with the percentages corresponding to each parties' interest in the Property as of the date of the
damage. For purposes of determining the interest of each party, the methodology used to value a remainder
interest in U. S. Treasury Regulations § 1.170A-7, or the successor regulation, shall be used;
b. Pay before delinquency all real estate taxes and any and all other assessments or
impositions against the Property. The Grantor shall deliver to Grantee at the address stated below copies of
paid tax and assessments receipts within 45 days after the due date. Without the prior written consent of
Grantee, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, the Grantor shall not voluntarily or
involuntarily defer the payment of taxes or assessments, notwithstanding any statutory or contractual right
of the Grantor to do so.
C. Pay water and sewer charges, utilities, and all other charges assessed against the Property;
d. Insure the Property against fire, vandalism, flood, windstorm, and other hazards and risks
through all risk property insurance in accordance with terms to be determined and agreed upon from time
to time by the Grantor and Grantee, but no less than 80% of the actual replacement cost of the Property,
unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. The Grantor shall provide Grantee with an annual certification
that the insurance described above is in effect and that the premiums have been paid. All insurance shall
be secured and maintained in a company or companies reasonably satisfactory to Grantee and shall be
primary and not contributory to that carried by Grantee. The all-risk property insurance policy shall name
Grantee as "an insured as its interest may appear." The Grantor shall secure an appropriate clause in, or an
endorsement upon, each policy of insurance, pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation
and rights of recovery or permits the insured to agree to waive any claim it might have against Grantee.
2. The Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Grantee, permit any lien,
encumbrance, or mortgage to be placed on the Property and shall not, without the prior written consent of
Grantee, permit the amount of any mortgage, encumbrance, or lien now existing to increase. The Grantor

Mahaffey Family — With Reservation of a Life Estate
Docusign Envelope ID: 8FO35191-E7F8-49CA-A15B-55EOF19B5ED1
shall, on or before each due date, make all payments on any existing mortgage, lien, or encumbrance. By
February 15 of each year, the Grantor shall deliver to Grantee a copy of the status of the mortgage, lien, or
encumbrance, if any, through December 31 of the prior year.
3. The Grantor has the sole right, during the life of John I. Mahaffey, to occupy the Property and
to lease the Property. The Grantor shall consult with Grantee before leasing the Property, and, unless
Grantee also signs the lease, the lease term shall automatically end, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the lease, no later than the end of the month in which the date of the termination of the life estate occurs.
The Grantor shall receive all rent from the Property during the life of John I. Mahaffey; Grantee shall
receive all rent from the Property from and after the date of death of the Grantor.
4. The Grantor shall consult with Grantee before making material changes to the use of the
Property. If the Property is currently occupied by the Grantor, the rental of the Property constitutes a
material change in the use of the Property.
5. If the Grantor is no longer able to maintain the Property as required by this Life Estate
Agreement, whether due to age, health issues, financial ability, or other reason, or if the Grantor wishes to
end its occupancy of the Property and does not wish lease out the Property in accordance with the preceding
section, then the Grantor may elect to convey to Grantee the balance of the Grantor's life estate.
6. INDEMNIFICATION OF GRANTEE. GRANTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY GRANTEE AND
GRANTEE'S OFFICERS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES ("INDEMNITEES") FROM AND
AGAINST ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY OF ANY HIND TO ANY PERSON OR
PROPERTY ARISING FROM ANY USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PROPERTY (OR ANY
PART OF THEREOF), OR CAUSED BY ANY DEFECT IN ANY BUILDING, STRUCTURE,
IMPROVEMENT, EQUIPMENT, OR FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY OR CAUSED BY OR
ARISING FROM ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF GRANTOR, OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS,
EMPLOYEES, TENANTS, OR INVITEES, OR BY OR FROM ANY ACCIDENT, FIRE, OR
OTHER CASUALTY ON THE PROPERTY, OR BROUGHT ABOUT BY GRANTOR'S FAILURE
TO MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY IN A SAFE CONDITION, EVEN IN THE EVENT SUCH LOSS,
DAMAGE, INJURY OR CLAIM RESULTS FROM THE ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF
INDEMNITEES.
7. GRANTEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY MANNER TO GRANTOR, ITS
AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR ANY OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH
THE USE OF THE PROPERTY BY ANY OF THEM, FOR ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF
PERSONS UNLESS CAUSED SOLELY BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OF GRANTEE. IN NO EVENT SHALL GRANTEE BE LIABLE IN ANY
MANNER TO GRANTOR OR ANY OTHER PARTY AS THE RESULT OF THE ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF GRANTOR, ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR ANY OTHER
PARTY, IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE PROPERTY BY ANY OF THEM.
GRANTEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR THEFT OF OR DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY OF GRANTOR, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PATRONS, INVITEES, OR TO
OTHERS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE IS OCCASIONED BY
CASUALTY, THEFT, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF WHATSOEVER NATURE.
8. Grantee its authorized employees, representatives, and contractors, have the right to:
a. Enter the Property from time to time with at least seven days prior written notice to the
Grantor to inspect the Property; provided, however, that in the case of an emergency, no notice or only such

b. Make any reasonable repairs that are reasonably necessary to protect its interest in the
Property in the event that the Grantor has not made such repairs within a reasonable time after notice from
Grantee to the Grantor of the need for same. In such case, and if the repairs are the responsibility of the
Grantor under this Agreement, the Grantor shall reimburse Grantee for the full cost of such repairs within
30 days after Grantee delivers to the Grantor copies of invoices for the repairs.
9. The Grantor shall consult with Grantee before making major structural changes or improvements
to the Property. The Grantor has the right, after such consultation and at the Grantor's sole cost and expense,
to make improvements and alterations to the Property, provided that such improvements do not reduce the
value of the Property.
10. The Grantor shall not permit to be foreclosed any mechanic's or materialman's lien or other
statutory lien against the Property by reason of work, labor, services, or materials supplied to or at the
request of the Grantor. The Grantor shall pay and discharge any such mechanic's or materialman's lien filed
against the Property within twenty (20) days after the filing thereof. In no event shall the Grantor have the
right, authority, or power to bind Grantee or any interest of Grantee in the Property for any claim for labor
or material or for any other charge or expense incurred in the repair, maintenance, construction, or alteration
of the Property or the improvements thereon.
