Should any potentially exempt records become the subject of a request for public disclosure, Buyer shall use its best efforts to immediately notify Seller of such request and the date by which it anticipates responding, which date shall in no event be less than eight (8) days after Buyer's first notice of the disclosure request to Seller .

If Seller fails to specifically identify potentially exempt records or parts thereof, or fails to fully explain why such records are not subject to disclosure within that eight (8) day period, Buyer may make such disclosure. If Seller made timely record identification and explanation as to why the records are exempt and Buyer, in its sole discretion, believes Seller has a valid claim that the records contain proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential information, or other exempt material, Buyer shall deny the request for disclosure of such records, or excise such information prior to disclosure, or Seller, at its sole expense, may seek a judicial declaration of the rights of the parties. If such denial of a request for disclosure of records or excision of information is challenged in court, Seller agrees that it will, at its sole expense, defend the non-disclosure of information and shall indemnify Buyer for any and all penalties assessed and costs (including the fees and costs of Buyer's attorneys) that Buyer incurs in such defense including any attorney's fees assessed against Buyer under RCW 42.17.340(4). If prior to, during, or after judicial consideration Buyer in its sole discretion believes Seller does not have a valid claim, it shall so notify Seller not less than three (3) days prior to the date Buyer intends to make the disclosure to allow Seller to take such further action as Tenant deems appropriate prior to disclosure. 11.14 No Joint Venture . It is not intended by this Agreement to, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall, create any partnership, joint venture or other arrangement between Buyer and Seller. No term or provision of this Agreement is intended to be, or shall be, for the benefit of any person, firm, organization or corporation not a party hereto, and no such other person, firm, organization or corporation shall have any right or cause of action hereunder. 11.15 Neutral Authorship . Each of the provisions of this Agreement has been reviewed and negotiated, and represents the combined work product of all parties hereto. No presumption or other rules of construction which would interpret the provisions of this Agreement in favor of or against the party preparing the same shall be applicable in connection with the construction or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 1116 Governing Law, Time .

The MOHAI Facility and Other Improvements occupy approximately 182,468 square feet of land as depicted on Exhibit A to this Condemnation Agreement (the "MOHAI Use Area") and are located on the grounds of two City-owned parks, McCurdy Park and East Montlake Park and other City land, as well as on adjacent property owned by the Arboretum Foundation. E. The Washington State Department of Transportation ("WSDOT"), the Federal Highway Administration and the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority ("Sound Transit") are planning the SR-520 bridge replacement project (the "SR 520 Project"), which will require the demolition of the MOHAI Facility and Other Improvements, the use of the MOHAI Use Area on a temporary basis and ultimately the permanent acquisition of some or all of the MOHAI Use Area. F. MOHAI began to explore other options for its facilities based on its concerns about the long-term viability of the MOHAI Use Area as MOHAI's permanent home given its location adjacent to SR 520 and the likelihood that the SR 520 Project would require MOHAI's relocation. G. To this end, the City and MOHAI identified another City-owned property, the former Naval Reserve Armory at Lake Union Park (the "Armory"), as an appropriate site for MOHAI's primary public venue and on October 2, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 30917, which supported and encouraged negotiations between Parks and MOHAI to investigate the development of the Armory for that purpose. H. On September 29, 2008, following the parties' due diligence activities with respect to the viability of the Armory as MOHAI's primary public venue, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 31092, which provides specific principles that Parks and MOHAI must incorporate into binding agreements addressing the development and operation of a new regional history museum at the Armory. I. Resolution Number 31092 also provides that the City will contribute certain compensation it receives from WSDOT in conjunction with the SR 520 Project's effects on the MOHAI Facility and Other Improvements and the MOHAI Use Area to MOHAI's development of the Armory facilities and will assign the authority to negotiate with WSDOT for the amount of that compensation to MOHAI, subject to the City's approval of any final agreement with WSDOT. J. Pursuant to Ordinance 123132, the City and MOHAI negotiated a set of project agreements, including this Condemnation Agreement, in which the parties agreed that the proceeds from the acquisition of the MOHA Use Area will be used for construction of the new historical museum. K. In October 2010, the City accepted an offer from WSDOT for the MOHAI museum building while WSDOT continued to evaluate the amount of land it required for its project, and to determine funding. The City and MOHAI agreed that the City would retain a portion of the museum building proceeds under an Agreement Regarding Distribution of MOHAI Facility Proceeds. L. The project agreements obligated MOHAI to proceed with its new museum project as soon as practicable. MOHAI was able to begin construction with the proceeds of the acquisition of the Montlake building it had received plus other resources that originally were identified for other project-related purposes. Replacement of the facilities and functions provided at the former Montlake facility has now largely been accomplished. With the repayment of the portion of its compensation from WSDOT's acquisition of the Montlake building that the parties agreed the City would temporarily retain and the eventual payment to MOHAI of its share of the proceeds from the acquisition of the City-owned portion of the MOHAI Use Area, the parties wish to confirm that MOHAI may use such funds to reimburse or repay the other sources of funding it temporarily diverted to pay new museum construction and other capital costs and to adjust the term of the original agreement given WSDOT's delay in concluding the acquisition of the MOHAI Use Area. AGREEMENT Now, therefore, the parties agree as follows: 1. Conditional Assignment . The City hereby assigns to MOHAI, subject to review and approval by the City as provided in Section 6, all compensation that the City receives from WSDOT for the following:(a) All compensation paid by WSDOT to the City for the MOHAI Facility and Other Improvements; and (b) 40% but not to exceed $7 million of all compensation paid by WSDOT to the City for any real property interest in the land in the MOHAI Use Area. 2. Limitation on Scope . Nothing in this Condemnation Agreement affects the parties' rights with respect to the following: (a) The City's rights to negotiate for and receive the residual fee value and any other compensation associated with the MOHAI Use Area (net of the compensation available to MOHAI under Section 1(b)); (b) The City's rights to real property, improvements and other interests outside of the MOHAI Use Area; (c) The City's rights (outside of the context of condemnation) to receive compensation to mitigate for the SR 520 Project's impacts on park land, whether in the form of cash compensation for replacement of any lost park land or conveyance of replacement property; and (d) MOHAI's right to relocation benefits and other compensation to which MOHAI is entitled under state or federal law as a result of being displaced by the SR 520 Project. 3. MOHAI Authority . MOHAI is hereby granted exclusive authority to negotiate with WSDOT for the compensation for the property interests identified in Section 1 above. MOHAI, at its own cost and expense, shall be solely responsible for conducting all negotiations with WSDOT for the compensation associated with such interests. MOHAI's authority under this Condemnation Agreement is personal to MOHAI and may not be contracted or further delegated or assigned without the City's consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MOHAI may employ attorneys, architects, engineers, surveyors, appraisers and such other consultants as MOHAI reasonably determines to be necessary in order to establish the value of the property interests identified in Section 1 and negotiate with WSDOT, all at MOHAI's own cost and expense. 4. Arboretum Foundation . The City owns the MOHAI Facility, a portion of which is located on Arboretum Foundation property. The City agrees to support MOHAI's efforts to secure 100% of the compensation for the MOHAI Facility. 5. Hold Harmless for WSDOT . If required by WSDOT, the City shall agree to indemnify, defend, and hold WSDOT, its officers, agents and employees harmless from and against all claims, suits, losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities and expenses arising out of adverse claims to ownership of the MOHAI Facility, specifically including claims related to the portion thereof located on land owned by the Arboretum Foundation. MOHAI, however, shall reimburse the City for any amount the City actually pays WSDOT under the terms of this indemnity. In the event any such claim is made by WSDOT, the City and MOHAI will enter into a joint interest agreement committing the City to vigorous, good faith defense against such claim; addressing other matters such as mutual cooperation and support; and reserving to MOHAI the right to prior approval of any settlement of any such claim that would trigger payment by MOHAI under its reimbursement obligation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 6. City Approval . Acceptance of any offer of settlement or other award from WSDOT; final assignment of proceeds to be paid to MOHAI for WSDOT's acquisition of the property interests identified in Section 1; and transfer to WSDOT of the property interests that are the subject of a proposed settlement must be approved by the Seattle City Council, by ordinance. Before conditionally accepting any such offer of settlement or other award from WSDOT, MOHAI shall obtain the consent of the Mayor or his designee (collectively, the "Mayor") for such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or denied. All settlement offers shall clearly enumerate the interests for which compensation is being paid and the total compensation for each such interest, including the cost per square foot for all real property interests being acquired. At the Mayor's request, MOHAI shall deliver such supporting documentation as the Mayor may reasonably request. Following the Mayor's provision of his consent to the settlement and upon MOHAI's request, the Mayor will prepare and transmit to the City Council the legislation necessary for the acceptance of the proposed settlement; the final assignment to MOHAI of the proceeds from such settlement; and the transfer to WSDOT of the property interests that are the subject of the proposed settlement. 7. Use of Settlement Proceeds . The proceeds paid to MOHAI under this Agreement for the property interests identified in Section 1 shall be reserved for capital costs associated with replacing the functions and facilities at its Montlake location including but not limited to those facilities and functions included in the proposed Armory project. If the proceeds paid to MOHAI, together with MOHAI's other resources available for and dedicated to the project, are sufficient to enable it to undertake the Armory project, it shall do so as soon as practicable following receipt of such proceeds. Proceeds received after project capital costs have been paid may be used to reimburse or repay other sources that may have been used to expedite completion of the Armory project. 8. Reporting . MOHAI will provide monthly briefings to the City regarding the progress of negotiations with WSDOT in such format and containing such information as the City may request. The briefings will cover all issues related to the valuation, negotiation or documentation of the compensation for the property interests identified in Section 1. MOHAI also will make materials related to such briefings (including but not limited to the materials specified in Section 13) available to the City at the City's request. The scope and distribution of any materials shall be consistent with maintaining privilege status for such materials, provided that in the event of a disagreement between the City and MOHAI concerning the scope of such reports, the City's determination shall be final. 9. Litigation . If MOHAI does not reach a settlement with WSDOT, MOHAI also is granted exclusive authority to participate, at its own cost and expense, in any condemnation action brought by the State with respect to the interests described in Section 1 above. The City and MOHAI shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the preparation for and conduct of such litigation by, without limitation, sharing valuation information and making witnesses available to the other party. 10. Duration of Condemnation Agreement . This Condemnation Agreement shall expire when MOHAI and WSDOT have (a) agreed upon a final offer of settlement or other award for compensation for the property interests identified in Section 1; or (b) the amount of such compensation has been resolved through a dispute resolution process including mediation, arbitration or litigation and the City and MOHAI have received such compensation from WSDOT. In addition, the City may terminate this Condemnation Agreement under any of the following circumstances: (a) MOHAI refuses to permit the City adequate access to relevant books, records and other materials as provided herein; (b) Breach of this Condemnation Agreement by MOHAI, specifically including derogation of the City's rights reserved under Section 2; or (c) Material breach by MOHAI of its obligation under this Condemnation Agreement to act in good faith and deal fairly with the City. 11. Indemnity . (a) MOHAI shall indemnify and hold harmless the City from and against any loss, damage, liability or claim suffered, incurred by, or asserted against the City arising out of, in connection with or based upon any act or omission by MOHAI relating in any way to this Condemnation Agreement or its services under this Condemnation Agreement, so long as MOHAI has acted in bad faith or with negligence. (b) City shall indemnify and hold harmless MOHAI from and against any los, damage, liability or claim suffered, incurred by, or asserted against MOHAI arising out of, in connection with or based upon any act or omission by the City relating in any way to this Condemnation Agreement, so long as the City has acted in bad faith or with negligence. 12. Confidentiality . To the extent allowed by law, MOHAI and the City shall maintain the confidentiality of all information and material either party receives from the other party pertaining to negotiating strategy or property valuation. 13. Books and Records; Audit . While performing under this Condemnation Agreement and for at least six (6) years after its termination or expiration, MOHAI shall keep, in King County, Washington, separate, accurate, complete and auditable records that document the basis for determining the value of the property interests described in Section 1. Such records shall include, without limitation, appraisals, purchase and sale agreements, deeds, easements and escrow instructions. MOHAI shall permit the City, from time to time as the Mayor or City Auditor deems necessary, to inspect, audit and copy such relevant records and those of any other person or entity that has performed work in connection with or related to the MOHAI's activities hereunder, unless such records are protected from review by the City under attorney/client privilege. MOHAI shall ensure that any subcontract, agreement or other arrangement under which any other person or entity is permitted to perform work in connection with or related to the MOHAI's activities under this Condemnation Agreement provides that the relevant work product of any such person or entity is subject to the City's right to inspect, audit or copy, unless such work product is protected from review by the City under attorney/client privilege. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, MOHAI agrees that it will produce to the City upon request and will not assert, as against the City, any privilege with respect to the work product of all architects, engineers, surveyors, appraisers and other similar consultants that MOHAI engages to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, if such work product was produced in the regular course of their business activities under this Agreement. 14.
