On or prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, for any reason or no reason, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, by delivery of written notice of such termination to Seller (with a copy to Escrow Agent), and Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Parties shall have no further duties, obligations or liability to each other hereunder except the Surviving Duties. If, however, upon expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser fails to timely or properly deliver written notice to Seller terminating this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement based upon the terms and provisions of this Section 5(a). Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall not be permitted to contact the City of Redmond with respect to the Property; provided, however, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives may contact Mike Stanger, associate planner with ARCH, with respect to the Affordable Housing Covenant (as defined in Section 11(b)(viii) below).
(b)    Independent Judgment. Purchaser shall use its independent judgment and shall make its own determination as to the scope of the Due Diligence Investigation. In making such determination, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except for Seller’s Warranties, Purchaser has not relied and shall not rely upon any of Seller’s Deliveries or other studies, reports, files, documents, drawings, plans and specifications, work product, maps or other materials or information, including, without limitation, any information provided verbally or in any other manner, if any, delivered or made available (intentionally or unintentionally) to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives (collectively, “Seller’s Reports”) by Seller or any partners, members, managers, parents, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, representatives, attorneys, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, brokers or other consultants of Seller (collectively, “Seller’s Agents”). It is specifically understood and agreed that, to the extent Seller and/or Seller’s Agents have delivered or do deliver (or have made or do make available), intentionally or unintentionally, to Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives any Seller’s Reports, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives are not entitled to rely on the matters contained therein or the content





thereof other than as set forth in this Agreement. In addition, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for Seller’s Warranties, Seller and Seller’s Agents make no covenant, representation or warranty whatsoever as to any Seller’s Reports, or the information contained therein, including, without limitation, their content, reliability, accuracy or completeness or any right to permit the use thereof by third parties. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller and Seller’s Agents shall have no liability to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives for any misrepresentations, misstatements, omissions or other deficiencies in any such Seller’s Reports, unless the same constitutes a breach of Seller’s Warranties (subject, however, to the expiration of any applicable notice and cure right of Seller and the provisions set forth in this Agreement). Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives are knowledgeable and experienced in real estate matters.
(c)    Access. In order for Purchaser to perform the Due Diligence Investigation, provided Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives (as applicable) have delivered to Seller copies of certificates of insurance issued in the amount and in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 5(d) below, Seller agrees to allow Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives, between the Effective Date and the date of Closing or earlier termination hereof, during normal business hours (at such reasonable times as Seller may agree) to enter onto the Property for purposes of inspecting the Property in a non-invasive manner in connection with the Purchaser’s Due Diligence Investigation, including, without limitation, performing a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (the “Pre-Approved Tests”) without further approval of Seller. Except for the Pre-Approved Tests, Purchaser may not conduct any additional or further tests in, on or about the Property without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be denied by Seller in its sole discretion. No indoor air quality sampling and analysis (other than with respect to humidity, carbon monoxide, methane and radon) is allowed, no biological sampling or analysis, whether of air quality samples or otherwise, is allowed and no particulate analysis of an indoor air quality sample is allowed without Seller’s prior written consent. Any tests conducted by or for the benefit of Purchaser at the Property shall be subject to any notice requirements and limitations set forth in the Leases and the provisions of this clause (c) and with at least twenty-four (24) hours’ advance notice to Seller. Seller may have a representative accompany Purchaser’s Representatives at the time of any access to the Property. Unless approved by Seller in advance in Seller’s sole discretion, Purchaser shall not: (i) perform any invasive procedure or test, including any Phase II environmental inspection; (ii) disturb any Tenant in possession of the Property; (iii) interrupt or interfere with any construction, renovation, maintenance or other work being performed at the Property; or (iv) knowingly cause Seller to breach the terms of any Lease.
(d)    Indemnity and Insurance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Due Diligence Investigation or other investigation or inspection of the Property by Purchaser or any partners, members, managers, parents, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, representatives, attorneys, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, brokers, investors, potential investors or other sources of capital, surveyors and other consultants of Purchaser (collectively, “Purchaser’s Representatives”) has been and shall be performed at the sole risk and expense of Purchaser and Purchaser shall be solely and absolutely responsible for the acts or omissions of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives. Furthermore, Purchaser shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold the Property, Seller and Seller’s Agents harmless from and against any and all Claims (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) suffered or incurred by any or all of such indemnified parties to the extent a result of, due to, or arising from Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representative’s acts or omissions in connection with their respective investigation or inspection of the Property; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller





for any damages due solely to (i) the mere discovery of any existing conditions and any resulting diminution in value of the Property except to the extent exacerbated by the acts or omissions of Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives in connection with the Due Diligence Investigation or a breach of the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) any claim, injury or other damage arising out of the act or omission of Seller or any of Seller’s Agents. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, as the case may be, and remain binding upon Purchaser and its successors and assigns (if any). If at any time prior to Closing, Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives cause any damage to the Property, Purchaser shall, at its sole cost, risk and expense, promptly restore the Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such damage. From and after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall maintain in full force and effect for itself and on behalf of Purchaser’s Representatives commercial general liability insurance and automobile liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, with limits of at least $2,000,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, (with an “umbrella policy” in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollar ($5,000,000), providing excess coverage on a following form basis over the coverages required above) (collectively, the “Insurance Requirements”), each issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in the State where the Project is located and with an [A.M. Best Company rating of at least A-VIII] and a certificate evidencing the fact that Seller and any of Seller’s Affiliates designated by Seller in writing, are named as additional named insureds under the liability insurance policies. The dollar amounts of coverage set forth in the Insurance Requirements shall not be construed to limit the liability of Purchaser under this Agreement. Purchaser’s insurance policies shall be primary with respect to any liability insurance carried by Seller or the property management company.
(e)    Approved Service Contracts; New Contracts. Prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (the “Service Contract Termination Notice”) which Service Contracts Purchaser wishes to cause Seller to terminate at Closing. Each Service Contract not listed in such Service Contract Termination Notice, together with any new service agreement either approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5(e), is individually referred to herein as an “Approved Service Contract” and, collectively, as the “Approved Service Contracts”; provided that Approved Service Contracts shall include all Service Contracts that are not terminable on 30 days or less notice or require the payment of a termination fee (unless Purchaser agrees to pay such termination fee at the Closing). Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume and will be solely responsible and liable for any and all duties, obligations and liability arising out of, related to or in connection with the Approved Service Contracts and accruing on and after the Closing Date. Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver Purchaser’s Service Contract Termination Notice shall constitute Purchaser’s binding election to assume all Service Contracts. Purchaser shall pay any transfer or assignment fees or charges due in connection with its assumption of any Approved Service Contracts. Notice of termination for all Service Contracts which are not Approved Service Contracts shall be given by Seller not later than the Closing Date and any charges accruing thereunder on or after the Closing Date and through the date of actual termination shall be the responsibility of Purchaser.
(f)    After the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Seller will not, without the prior consent of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into any Lease or any other contract relating to the operation of the Property that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, or renew, amend or otherwise modify any Lease, provided that Seller may, in the ordinary course of business, (1) enter into residential New Leases in accordance with Seller’s current practice, (2) modify, amend, renew and terminate residential Leases in accordance with Seller’s current practice, as set forth on the Leasing Guidelines and (3) enter into Contracts that





are terminable without cause on 30-days’ notice or necessitated by an emergency. It is expressly understood and agreed that in no event shall Seller enter into or renew, modify, extend or terminate any Retail Lease without the prior written consent of Purchaser which, prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, but after expiration of the Feasibility Period, may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.
6.    Title/Survey.Title Commitment
(a)    Survey. Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date (to the extent not previously delivered to Purchaser), Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a copy of the most current survey Seller has in its possession, if any. Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, may obtain a new survey or an update of such existing survey (such survey or, if applicable, such new or updated survey is hereinafter referred to as the “Survey”).
(b)    Title Objections. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (local Property time) on November 20, 2014 (the “Title Objection Notice Date”) to give Seller written notice objecting to any matter disclosed by, shown on or otherwise reflected in the Title Commitment and Survey (“Title Objection Notice”). Seller acknowledges receipt of the Title Objection Notice on the Title Objection Notice Date. Provided Seller has timely received the Title Objection Notice, Seller shall have until 5:00 p.m. (local Property time) on the date which is two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Response Date”) to notify Purchaser whether Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to cure any such objections. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller has no obligation to cure or attempt to cure any matters set forth in the Title Objection Notice and Seller’s failure to deliver written notice to Purchaser agreeing to cure any or all such objections raised in the Title Objection Notice by the Seller’s Response Date shall be deemed Seller’s refusal to cure or attempt to cure any or all such objections (other than mechanics and materialman lien claims and attachments, judgments, liens to secure the payment of income taxes of Seller or Seller’s constituents, delinquent property tax and assessment liens against the Property to the extent created by, through or under Seller, and mortgages and/or deeds of trust liens on the Property (the “Monetary Liens”)). If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to remove any objections raised in the Title Objection Notice which Seller is not obligated to cure, Purchaser, at its election, shall have until expiration of the Feasibility Period to elect to either: (i) waive its prior disapproval of such title objections (except with respect to matters Seller is obligated to cure or remove on or before the Closing) and proceed to consummate this transaction; or, (ii) receive a return of the Deposit following which this Agreement shall terminate and none of the Parties hereto shall have any further duties, liabilities or obligations to one another hereunder, excepting the Surviving Duties. If Purchaser does not deliver written notice of its election to waive its objections raised in the Title Objection Notice within such period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its objections as of the end of the Feasibility Period. All matters set forth in the Title Objection Notice that Seller has refused or is deemed to have refused to cure (except with respect to Monetary Liens, which Seller shall be obligated to cure hereunder) and is not obligated to cure hereunder shall be and become Permitted Exceptions. If Seller agrees in writing to cure any objections set forth in the Title Objection Notice but fails to cure the same prior to Closing, such failure shall be a default by Seller hereunder and Purchaser shall be entitled to all rights and remedies set forth in Section 15(b) below. If the Title Company issues a supplemental title report prior to the Closing Date showing additional exceptions to title (a “Title Supplement”) or in the event any further update of the Survey reveals any new survey matter, Purchaser shall have five (5) days (a “Supplemental Title Review Period”) from the date of receipt of the Title Supplement and a copy of each document referred to in the Title





Supplement or such survey update in which to give Seller written notice of disapproval as to any additional objections appearing on such Title Supplement or further survey update. Purchaser’s failure to deliver any such written notice of disapproval within such five (5) day period shall be deemed to mean that Purchaser has approved all such additional matters. If Purchaser disapproves any additional matters shown in the Title Supplement or further survey update, then Purchaser and Seller will have the same rights and obligations set forth above in this Section regarding Purchaser’s original review and approval of the Title Commitment except that this Agreement shall terminate five (5) days after the date during which Seller could notify Purchaser whether Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to cure any such objections and failed to do so unless Purchaser waives its prior disapproval in writing prior to the end of such five (5) day period.
(c)    Affidavits. Seller shall have no obligation to execute any affidavits or indemnifications in connection with the issuance of Purchaser’s Title Policy, excepting only an owner’s affidavit in the Title Company’s customary form as reasonably agreed to by Seller.
7.    Closing. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated herein (the “Closing”) shall occur on or before 2:00 p.m. (local Property time) on December 9, 2014 (the “Closing Date,” or the “Close of Escrow”).

Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to collect by separate Action any amounts due Seller under any Lease for periods for the month in which Closing occurs and prior periods (without the right to remove or evict any Tenant).

If the Closing shall occur before the applicable tax bill is available (or before a new tax rate or new assessed valuation is fixed) for the fiscal period in which Closing occurs, the apportionment of taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the most recent tax bill (or current tax rate or assessed valuation), as applicable. Within thirty (30) days after receipt by Purchaser of the tax bill for the fiscal period in which Closing occurs (or the new tax rate or new assessed valuation is fixed), the apportionment of taxes shall be recomputed. Any discrepancy resulting from such recomputation shall be promptly corrected. The obligations set forth in this paragraph shall survive until thirty (30) days after the tax bill for such taxes which were prorated on the basis of an estimate are received by Purchaser.
If any operating expenses or other prorations (other than taxes) cannot conclusively be determined as of the Closing Date, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued invoices/bills as of the Closing Date and shall be re-adjusted within ninety (90) days after the Closing occurs.

If Seller has paid any utilities in advance, then Purchaser shall be charged its portion of such payment at Closing.
(D)    Approved Service Contracts; Seller Deposits/Refunds. No lump sum or up front payments paid to Seller or to any Seller Affiliate will be





prorated with respect to any Approved Service Contracts and Purchaser shall have no interest therein to the extent accrued, received or otherwise payable to Seller prior to Closing. Seller is not transferring to Purchaser any of Seller’s rights to receive now or in the future any Seller Deposits/Refunds accruing prior to the Close of Escrow. If Purchaser receives any such Seller Deposits/Refunds applicable to periods of time prior to the Close of Escrow, Purchaser shall promptly remit such refunds to Seller.

15.    Default and Remedies.
(a)    Purchaser’s Default and Seller’s Remedies. If Purchaser defaults in any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to obtain and to unilaterally instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Seller, the Deposit as liquidated damages (and not a penalty). Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for liquidated damages





because it would be difficult to calculate, on the date hereof, the amount of actual damages for such default, and Seller and Purchaser agree that these sums represent a reasonable forecast of such damages. Seller’s remedy under this Section 15 shall not be in derogation of, nor in any manner limit or affect, Purchaser’s Surviving Duties.
(b)    Seller’s Default and Purchaser’s Remedies. If Seller defaults in any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to elect to either: (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, together with payment by Seller of Purchaser’s Actual Damages (hereinafter defined), as liquidated damages; or (ii) pursue specific performance of this Agreement against Seller, provided that Purchaser is not otherwise in breach of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, if the remedy of specific performance is not available to Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to Purchaser’s Actual Damages. If Purchaser fails to bring an action for specific performance within forty-five (45) days of the scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the remedy of specific performance and to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, together with payment by Seller of Purchaser’s Actual Damages, as liquidated damages. Purchaser waives all other rights or remedies in the event of a default by Seller. Purchaser covenants and agrees that the foregoing remedies (including specific performance) are Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies for any such default or breach by Seller of its obligations hereunder. If Purchaser elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to pursue specific performance of this Agreement, the Parties have agreed that Purchaser’s actual damages, in the event of a default by Seller, would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine. Therefore, the Parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages set forth above have been agreed upon, after negotiation, as the Parties’ reasonable estimate of Purchaser’s damages against Seller if Purchaser elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to pursue specific performance of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Section 15(b) reference to “Purchaser’s Actual Damages” shall be limited to include only the amount of Purchaser’s reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses which Purchaser has paid to any third party (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Purchaser in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, Purchaser’s Due Diligence Investigation, Purchaser’s financing and any other third-party expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement) from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, the total amount of all such expenses, obligations and liability of Seller therefore shall be limited to a maximum amount of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00).
(c)    Post-Closing Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to the limitations and qualifications in Section 12(a) above and the terms and conditions set forth in Section 13, if Closing occurs and there is later a Claim by Purchaser arising out of or related to a breach by Seller of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 11(a), Seller’s aggregate liability with respect to such Claims shall not exceed SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($750,000).
(d)    Consequential Damages, Etc. Other than as set forth in Section 15 or Section 16, in no event shall either Party be entitled to consequential, punitive or other special damages, and any and all rights thereto are hereby waived. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Close of Escrow.
16.    No Common Interest Conversion.





(a)    Condominium Conversion Restriction. Purchaser, for itself and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby covenants and agrees not to convert the Project or any portion thereof to a condominium or other common interest development, or file a condominium map or establish a condominium regime (collectively, the “Condominium Conversion Restriction”) for a period equal to that date which is six (6) years after the date of the Close of Escrow (the “Restrictive Period”). As a material inducement to Seller entering into this Agreement, Purchaser covenants and agrees to accept the Deed at Closing subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants described in Section 17 below. For purposes of this Agreement, the occurrence of any one or more of the following conditions during the Restrictive Period shall constitute a “Triggering Event”:
(i)    the conversion of the Project or any portion thereof to a condominium or other common interest project; or
(ii)    the filing of a condominium map or establishment of a condominium regime; or
(iii)    the delivery of a deed of any separate interest (as defined by Law) in any residential dwelling unit or retail space constructed on the Real Property (other than leases of such units in the regular course of business) in connection with the conversion of all or any portion of the Project into condominiums or any other form of common interest development as contemplated under applicable Law.
(b)    Indemnification. In the event a Triggering Event occurs during the Restrictive Period, whether by Purchaser or any subsequent owner of the Project, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and Seller’s Agents harmless from and against: (i) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THE VIOLATION OF THE CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION RESTRICTION; (ii) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THE DESIGN, PROCESSING, BONDING, DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENT, COMPLETION, REPAIR, REMEDIATION, OWNERSHIP, USE, MAINTENANCE, MANAGEMENT OR OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PORTION OR PORTIONS THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS OR OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY, WHETHER THE FOREGOING CLAIMS DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTIONS (i) AND (ii) ABOVE RESULT FROM THE ACTION, INACTION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF SELLER, SELLER’S AFFILIATES OR ANY OF SELLER’S AGENTS. THE INDEMNITIES HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM IS CAUSED BY THE SOLE, CONCURRENT OR PARTIAL NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF SELLER OR ANY OF SELLER’S AGENTS. Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly dispose of all such Claims, defend all Claims filed or asserted against Seller and/or any of Seller’s Agents with counsel of Seller’s choice, pay all judgments rendered against Seller or any of Seller’s Agents related to such Claims and reimburse Seller and any of Seller’s Agents upon demand for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in defense of any Claims.





(c)    Assignment. Seller may assign any and all of its right, title and interest (including any related Claims against Purchaser) under this Section to any Seller Affiliate or other third party without Purchaser’s prior consent.
(d)    Survival. All terms and provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.
17.    Declaration. Purchaser acknowledges that concurrently with the Closing, Seller will be recording against title to the Property a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (the “Declaration of Restrictive Covenants”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “K”. Purchaser agrees that such Declaration of Restrictive Covenants shall be a Permitted Exception.
18.    Duties of Escrow Agent. The duties of the Escrow Agent shall be as follows: (a) to retain and safely keep all funds, documents and instruments deposited with it; (b) to confirm that all conditions to the Closing specified in this Agreement have been met; (c) upon the Closing, to deliver to the parties entitled thereto all funds, documents and instruments to be delivered through Closing; (d) upon the Closing, to cause the recordation of the Deed in the Real Property Records of King County, Washington; (e) to comply with all applicable federal, state and local reporting and withholding requirements relating to the close of this transaction (the Parties hereby agreeing that Escrow Agent, as the party responsible for closing the Escrow, shall comply with the reporting requirements of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the permanent regulations (Section 1.6045-4) issued thereunder and made effective on January 1, 1991; and (f) to comply with the terms of this Agreement and any additional instructions executed by Seller or Purchaser. The Escrow Agent’s rights and obligations shall be further specified by such additional terms and provisions acceptable to Seller and Purchaser as said Escrow Agent customarily requires in real property escrows administered by it; provided, however, in no event shall such additional terms and provisions conflict with the terms of this Agreement.
19.    Assignment. At or prior to Closing, provided Purchaser is not in breach of the terms of this Agreement, without Seller’s prior written consent (but with notice to Seller), Purchaser may assign this Agreement to an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Purchaser. Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall not have the right to assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding any assignment of this Agreement, Purchaser shall remain jointly and severally liable with Purchaser’s assignee for all duties, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement until the Closing, but shall have no liability from and after the Closing Date. Any assignee of Purchaser’s interest in this Agreement shall be bound by all approvals and waivers, actual and deemed, by the original Purchaser prior to the assignment. Upon any permitted assignment of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller a copy of the fully executed assignment of this Agreement and the assumption by the assignee of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.
20.    Notice. Notice to either Party will be in writing and may be: (a) personally delivered to the person to whom or to whose attention such notice is to be given as hereinafter provided; (b) deposited in the United States Mail, duly certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the Party to be notified at the address specified herein; (c) deposited with a reputable overnight delivery service with proof of delivery; or (d) transmitted electronically (by facsimile or e-mail) to such person or to the attention of such person, and may be given by counsel for the Party delivering such notice. Any such notice will be deemed received on the date of personal delivery or electronic transmittal to the Party (or such Party’s authorized representative) or, if sent by United States Mail, or, if sent by overnight delivery service, when received or when delivery is attempted but refused, as the case may be.

Either Party may change its address for notices by delivering written notice to the other Party as provided herein.
21.    Real Estate Commission. At Closing, Seller shall instruct Escrow Agent to pay to JLL (the “Broker”) from the proceeds due Seller a commission pursuant to the terms of a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker. Seller and Purchaser each hereby warrant and represent to the other that, other than the Broker, no other brokers, agents, finder’s fees or commissions, or other similar fees, are due or arising in connection with the entering into of this Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Property or the consummation of transactions contemplated herein, and Seller and Purchaser each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all Claims which the other Party shall suffer or incur because of any Claim by a broker, agent or finder (other than the Broker) claiming by, through or under such indemnifying Party, whether or not such Claim is meritorious, for any compensation with respect to the entering into of this Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Property or the consummation of transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive Closing and the delivery and recordation of the Deed.





22.    General Provisions.
(a)    Intentionally omitted.
(b)    Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
(a)    Counterparts/Facsimile Transmissions. This Agreement or any escrow instructions pursuant to this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same agreement after each Party has signed such a counterpart. A facsimile, PDF or similar transmission of a counterpart executed by a Party hereto shall be regarded as executed by such Party for purposes hereof.
(b)    Computation of Time Periods. All periods of time referred to in this Agreement will include all Business Days and non‑Business Days, unless the period of time specifies Business Days; provided, however, that if the date or last date to perform any act or give any notice or approval will fall on a non-Business Day, such act or notice may be timely performed or given on the next Business Day.
(c)    Construction. Headings at the beginning of each Subsection and Section are solely for the convenience of the Parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Any and all exhibits and schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to Subsections, Sections or provisions are to those in this Agreement. Any reference to a Section herein includes all Subsections thereof. This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by only Seller or Purchaser, but rather as if both Seller and Purchaser had prepared the same. In the event any portion of this Agreement shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such portion will be deemed severed from this Agreement and the remaining parts hereof will remain in full force and effect, as fully as though such invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been part of this Agreement.
(d)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all exhibits and schedules attached hereto and other agreements expressly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property. All prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, oral or written, are hereby superseded.
(e)    No Partnership. Seller shall not be deemed to be a partner, joint venturer, co‑tenant, agent, guarantor or surety of Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, the Property or the Project or any action taken under or pursuant to this Agreement.
(f)    Unenforceability of Any Provision. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held in violation of any applicable law or unenforceable for any reason, the unenforceability of any such provision shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision hereof.
(g)    Legal Construction. Purchaser shall acquire no real property interest in any of the Property by reason of the execution of this Agreement. Purchaser’s rights in and to the Property shall vest only upon recordation of the Deed conveying the Property to Purchaser and the payment of the Purchase Price therefor.





(h)    Cumulative Remedies and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Any and all cure periods with respect to any Party hereunder shall run concurrently after any notice required hereunder. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. No waiver, amendment, release or modification of this Agreement shall be established by conduct, custom or course of dealing.
(i)    No Survival of Closing. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all of the terms, conditions, provisions, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of this Agreement shall not survive the Close of Escrow and delivery and recordation of the Deed and shall be merged therein for the benefit of the Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.
(j)    Parties Bound. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the Parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.
(k)    Jurisdiction and Venue. The Parties agree that any legal action arising under or related to this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of King County, Washington, or the federal district court in which the district of King County, Washington, is located.
(l)    Litigation Expenses. In the event either Party hereto employs an attorney for the purpose of enforcing or construing this Agreement, or any judgment based on this Agreement, in any legal proceeding whatsoever, including insolvency, bankruptcy, arbitration, declaratory relief or other litigation, including appeals and rehearings, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the other Party its reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses incidental to such litigation (including, without limitation, service of process costs, filing fees, court reporter costs, investigative costs, expert witness fees, the cost of any bonds, and any and all other similar fees incurred in connection with the Action or proceeding) and all court costs and fees through all trial and appellate levels. Attorneys’ fees under this Section 22(n) shall include attorneys’ fees on appeal and, in addition, a party entitled to attorneys’ fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Action. In addition to the foregoing award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, the prevailing party in any lawsuit shall be entitled to its attorneys’ fees incurred in any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce the judgment. The “prevailing party” means the party determined by the court to most nearly prevail and not necessarily the one in whose favor a judgment is rendered. This provision is separate and several and shall survive the merger of this Agreement into any judgment with respect hereto.
(m)    Further Assurances. The Parties agree to take such further actions and execute such additional documents and instruments as may be reasonably required in order to more effectively carry out the terms of this Agreement and the intentions of the Parties.
(n)    Modification/Waiver. A modification of any provision herein contained, or any other amendment to this Agreement, will be effective only if such modification or amendment is in





writing and signed by Seller and Purchaser. No waiver by any Party of any default or breach will be considered to be a waiver of any other default or breach.
(o)    Waiver of Known Defaults. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Party hereto has knowledge of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or the default of the other Party (a “Known Default”), but nonetheless elects to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby and proceeds to Closing, then the rights and remedies of such non‑defaulting Party shall be waived with respect to any such Known Default upon the Closing and the defaulting Party shall have no liability with respect thereto.
(p)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to choice of law principles.
23.    No Memorandum. The Parties agree that neither this Agreement nor a Memorandum of this Agreement shall be recorded in any public records of King County, or any other county in the State of Washington.
24.    Section 1031 Exchange Provisions. Purchaser is hereby granted the right to utilize this Agreement for the purpose of effecting a tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and in that connection, Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned to an exchange intermediary or facilitator for the purpose of completing such exchange. In this regard, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and the exchange intermediary or facilitator in a manner necessary to complete the same tax-deferred exchange, including the execution and delivery of reasonable documents evidencing the exchange, provided Seller incurs no additional cost or liability with respect thereto. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to permit any delay of the Closing as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
25.    Public Disclosure; Confidentiality. Prior to and after the Closing, and except as required by applicable Laws, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement beyond the existence of this Agreement will be made only in the form approved by Purchaser and Seller and such covenant shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement.
(a)    Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
(i)    Except as provided herein, Purchaser shall not disclose to any third party (other than Purchaser’s Representatives) any Confidential Information, including any of the results of Purchaser’s Due Diligence Investigation and the analysis thereof (collectively, the “Due Diligence Information”) for any purpose or reason whatsoever. If and to the extent that Purchaser desires or finds it is necessary to hire or utilize a third party consultant (“Consultant” or “Consultants”, as applicable) to conduct all or any portion of the Due Diligence Investigation or for the purpose of analyzing any and all such information and rendering opinions to Purchaser, or otherwise disclose or release any Due Diligence Information or other Confidential Information to any other Purchaser’s Representative, Purchaser agrees to inform any such Consultant and/or Purchaser’s Representatiave of the confidential nature of the Due Diligence Information and to cause each such Consultant and/or Purchaser’s Representative to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Other than as provided under the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to keep confidential,





and not disclose or disseminate to any third party without the prior written consent of Seller, any Confidential Information.
(ii)    If Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives are requested by an unauthorized third party to disclose or release any Confidential Information, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing and will promptly seek a protective order or take other appropriate action as Seller deems necessary. Purchaser will also cooperate in Seller’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order, Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives are, in the written opinion of his/her/its legal counsel addressed to Seller, compelled as a matter of Law to disclose any Confidential Information to an unauthorized third party, Purchaser agrees that it will disclose only such part of the Confidential Information as is required by Law to be disclosed; provided, however, that Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in obtaining an order or reasonable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded such Confidential Information.
(iii)    Purchaser agrees that the harm which Seller may or will suffer as a result of any violation or breach by Purchaser, or any of Purchaser’s Representatives, of the terms of this Agreement would subject Seller to irreparable harm for which there would not be an adequate remedy at law for Seller, and that in the event of any such violation, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Seller at law or in equity, a court of competent jurisdiction may issue an injunction conditioned upon a nominal injunction bond of ONE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100.00) to restrain, enjoin and prohibit the disclosure of any Confidential Information to any third parties by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, and further may enter an order at the request of Seller to prevent and prohibit the use of the Confidential Information against Seller in any legal, administrative or arbitration proceeding as described above.
(b)    Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the restrictions and agreements set forth in Section 25(a) above do not apply to the following:
(i)    Public Domain. Confidential Information that is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of or due to any act, omission or fault of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives.
(ii)    Court Order. Confidential Information which is required by law or by order of a court or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction.
(iii)    Independently Developed. Information that was developed by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives independently of the Confidential Information.
(iv)    Routine Due Diligence Investigation. Contact and communication by Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives with governmental officials or authorities in connection with Purchaser’s Due Diligence Investigation for purposes of (a) researching public records and databases, or (b) conducting customary due diligence with respect to real estate taxes, zoning, building code or other legal compliance.
26.    Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PURCHASER AND SELLER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT





OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
