to the parcels owned by Perez, Lhota and BB &T, the benefits and burdens shall run with
the land and apply to Perez, Lhota and BB &T and their heirs, successors in title and
assigns. The owners of the subject easements (i.e. the dominant tenements) shall be
responsible for any maintenance and/or improvements reasonably required for their use
of the easements in a safe manner on the BB &T and Perez parcels.
