RECITALS A. The City approved a tax levy known as The 2000 Neighborhood Parks, Green Spaces, Trails, and Zoo Levy as proposed by Ordinance 120024 and approved by Seattle voters on November 7, 2000. One of the provisions of the 2000 Neighborhood Parks, Green Spaces, Trails, and Zoo Levy was funding for a waterfront connection from Myrtle Edwards Park to the Belltown Area. The design of the Olympic Sculpture Park together with the Grant of Access realizes that objective by incorporating a public connection from Belltown to Elliott Bay via pedestrian pathways (at grade and above grade) and skybridges over public rights of way. B. On October 24, 2005, the City of Seattle enacted Ordinance #115429, which granted a Skybridge Permit ("Permit") to SAM to construct and maintain for a period of twenty-five (25) years, and renewable for an additional twenty-five (25) years upon the conditions specified in the aforesaid Permit, two skybridges; one across Elliott Avenue and one across Alaskan Way. As a condition of that Permit, SAM must execute and deliver to the City a Grant of Access, which grants certain rights of public access over and upon the skybridges and pathways within a Public Access Area as defined in the Grant of Access; and C. In addition to the above referenced legislation, Grant of Access, and this Construction and Finance Agreement, the City and SAM intend to enter into an agreement regarding the operation and maintenance of certain elements of the OSP, the aforementioned skybridges and pathways, and the City-owned Boulevard. D. The City adopted Ordinance No. 121721 on February 2, 2005 designating Alaskan Way to be Alaskan Way Boulevard (a park boulevard) north of Broad Street and south of the northern edge of Bay Street as a "park boulevard" and transferring jurisdiction for the designated area from Seattle Department of Transportation to the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) providing for transportation, trail and utility purposes to continue. E. The above-described Alaskan Way Boulevard shall hereafter, be referred to as "the Boulevard. F. The Boulevard, as well as portions of Myrtle Edwards Park are supported by a seawall which is a significant structural element supporting lands to its east. G. The City and SAM have acknowledged the public benefits to be derived from a consistent design philosophy applied to the Olympic Sculpture Park, the connection to the Boulevard and other improvements including a salmon habitat restoration project at the juncture of the shoreline between the Olympic Sculpture Park and Myrtle Edwards Park by installation of a natural beach, each of which is described in that agreement titled "Design Agreement" executed by the City and SAM in accordance with Ordinance No. 119982 approved June 12, 2000,. H. Although it will consist of both privately owned and publicly owned property, both the privately owned land and the publicly owned land will be operated by SAM as the Olympic Sculpture Park as provided in the Skybridge Ordinance, the Operation and Maintenance Agreement and the Grant of Access. I. SAM has committed to contributing $2 million towards public improvements within the Olympic Sculpture Park as depicted in the 100% Construction Drawings for the OSP. J. The Museum Development Authority of Seattle, a public corporation chartered by the City of Seattle ("MDA"), is owner of the real property legally described on Exhibit 3, attached to the Grant of Access and incorporated herein ("Parcel D" or "MDA Property"). For general reference only, that parcel is indicated with the letter D on Exhibit 2 to the Grant of Access. MDA acquired the MDA Property from the City subject to use and development restrictions, including the requirement that the MDA Property be used and developed only as a sculpture garden, park or other open space as part of the SAM Olympic Sculpture Park ("OSP"), with public access free of charge in perpetuity. MDA also is lessee of the SAM Property under a lease from SAM for the purpose of conducting certain environmental work, subject to a sublease and operating agreement back to SAM. SAM is developing the OSP on the SAM Property and, pursuant to a ground lease from MDA, the MDA Property. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals and the mutual promises and provisions hereinafter set forth, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: AGREEMENT Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which is subject to approval by appropriate Ordinance, the delivery of a fully executed Operation and Maintenance Agreement, and conditioned upon delivery by SAM of the Grant of Access called for under the Skybridge Permit and the completion of those improvements to the OSP set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement, including installation of the Broad Street pathway, the City agrees to pay SAM the sum of $2.1 as provided herein. 1.

MUSEUM DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF SEATTLE, a public corporation chartered by the City of Seattle By:_______________________ Print Name:____________ Print Title:___________ October 31, 2005 ta ATTACHMENT B: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SEATTLE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM AND MUSEUM DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY This Agreement is entered into between The CITY OF SEATTLE, a Washington municipality ("City"), and the SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, a Washington nonprofit corporation ("SAM"), and is consented to by the MUSEUM DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF SEATTLE, a public corporation chartered by the City of Seattle ("MDA"), regarding the operation and maintenance of both the Alaskan Way Boulevard lying adjacent to the City's Myrtle Edwards Park and SAM's planned Olympic Sculpture Park. RECITALS A. The City approved a tax levy known as The 2000 Neighborhood Parks, Green Spaces, Trails, and Zoo Levy as proposed by Ordinance 120024 and approved by Seattle voters on November 7, 2000. One of the provisions of the 2000 Neighborhood Parks, Green Spaces, Trails, and Zoo Levy was funding for a waterfront connection from Myrtle Edwards Park to the Belltown Area. The design of the Olympic Sculpture Park together with the Grant of Access realizes that objective by incorporating a public connection from Belltown to Elliott Bay via pedestrian pathways (at grade and above grade) and skybridges over public rights of way. B. On October 24, 2005, the City of Seattle enacted Ordinance 115429, which granted a Skybridge Permit ("Permit") to SAM to construct and maintain for a period of twenty-five (25) years, and renewable for an additional twenty-five (25) years upon the conditions specified in the aforesaid Permit, two skybridges; one across Elliott Avenue and one across Alaskan Way. As a condition of that Permit, SAM must execute and deliver to the City a Grant of Access, which grants certain rights of public access over and upon the skybridges and pathways within a Public Access Area as defined in the Grant of Access; and C. This agreement is intended to govern the operation and maintenance of City-owned property adjacent to and within the Olympic Sculpture Park which is described in that agreement entitled "Design Agreement" executed by the City and SAM in accordance with Ordinance No. 119982 approved June 12, 2000. D. The City adopted Ordinance No. 121721 on February 2, 2005, designating Alaskan Way to be Alaskan Way Boulevard (a park boulevard) north of Broad Street and south of the northern edge of Bay Street and transferring jurisdiction for the designated area from Seattle Department of Transportation to the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) providing for transportation, trail and utility purposes to continue. E. The above-described Alaskan Way Boulevard shall hereafter be referred to as "the Boulevard." F. The Boulevard is supported by a seawall which is a significant structural element supporting lands to its east. G. The City and SAM have acknowledged the public benefits from a consistent design philosophy being applied to the Olympic Sculpture Park and the portion of the Boulevard. The improvements to the Boulevard and the proposed elevated pedestrian walkway are the subject of separate Construction and Finance Agreement and Skybridge Permits, respectively, all as approved by the City Council. H. Although most of the Olympic Sculpture Park will be privately owned and operated by SAM, it will generally be open daily to the public free of charge, except on the 5 calendar days per year on which SAM shall be entitled to close the SAM owned portions of the OSP for private events. The use of the OSP shall be subject to rules of conduct as set forth below. The Alaskan Way Skybridge and Boulevard will have the appearance of being incorporated into the OSP. While SAM shall set the hours for the OSP as provided below, the Boulevard will be open to the public at the same times as the adjacent Myrtle Edwards Park. I. As a condition to the City passing the Skybridge Ordinance 115429, entering into the Construction and Finance Agreement and this Operation and Maintenance Agreement, SAM will grant certain public access to the City of Seattle as provided in the Skybridge Ordinance Grant of Public Access. J. In addition to the pathways and skybridges described above, and as depicted in the 100% Construction Drawings for the OSP, SAM will also construct a salmon habitat restoration project at the juncture of the shoreline between the Olympic Sculpture Park and Myrtle Edwards Park by installation of a natural beach. K. As depicted in the 100% Construction Drawings for the OSP, SAM will also construct buttressing for the seawall and salmon restoration adjoining the Boulevard at the time of development of the OSP (Seawall Buttressing). The parties wish to provide for the maintenance and operation of the OSP, the Boulevard, the Seawall Buttress and Embayment and Alaskan Way Skybridge in this agreement. L. SAM has committed to contributing $2 million towards public improvements within the Olympic Sculpture Park as depicted in the 100% Construction Drawings for the OSP. M. The Museum Development Authority of Seattle, a public corporation chartered by the City of Seattle ("MDA"), is owner of the real property legally described on Exhibit 3, attached to the Grant of Access and incorporated herein ("Parcel D" or "MDA Property"). For general reference only, that parcel is indicated with the letter D on Exhibit 2 to the Grant of Access. MDA acquired the MDA Property from the City subject to use and development restrictions, including the requirement that the MDA Property be used and developed only as a sculpture garden, park or other open space as part of the SAM Olympic Sculpture Park ("OSP"), with public access free of charge in perpetuity. MDA also is lessee of the SAM Property under a lease from SAM for the purpose of conducting certain environmental work, subject to a sublease and operating agreement back to SAM. SAM is developing the OSP on the SAM Property and, pursuant to a ground lease from MDA, the MDA Property.
