RECITALS A. Grantor is the lessee of approximately 7.1 acres of real property located on the campus of South Seattle Community College in King County, Washington, more particularly described in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated by this reference (the "Property"). B. Grantor, Grantee and Grantee's Sister City of Chongqing, China have worked closely together for over 15 years to develop in Seattle a major Chinese garden that reflects the beauty and composition of an authentic Sichuan Chinese garden. C. In 1988, Seattle City Council Resolution 27832 designated the Property as the preferred site for the Chinese garden. D. Grantee recognizes that an authentic Sichuan Chinese garden inside Grantee limits has substantial cultural, recreational, and educational value to Seattle residents by promoting a greater understanding of Chinese culture, architecture, historic design, and gardens. E. Grantee desires to obtain specific use and access rights to the Chinese garden for its citizens and for itself as a corporate entity. NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which Grantor hereby acknowledges, the parties agree as follows: 1. Restrictive Covenant. For a period of time beginning on the first day of the Term and ending on the earlier of twenty-five (25) years thereafter or any prior termination of this Covenant and Easement, Grantor covenants that its leasehold interest in the Property shall be used exclusively for the development, construction, and operation of a classic-style Sichuan Chinese garden (the "Garden") and related uses and for no other purpose whatsoever. 2. Easement. Grantor hereby grants, conveys and warrants to Grantee an easement for the use of and access to the Property throughout the Term, as specifically set forth and subject to the terms and conditions contained in Exhibit 2. Throughout the Term, Grantee shall use the Property solely to maintain an authentic classical Chinese garden, open to the public for recreational use upon payment of a fee, and for purposes reasonably incidental thereto. 3. Term of Restrictive Covenant and Easement. The term of this Restrictive Covenant and Easement Agreement and the Restrictive Covenant and Easement shall be twenty-five (25) years ("Term"), commencing on the date the Garden is open to the public for paid admission. 4. Reporting and Audit. (a) Grantor shall provide annual reports to Grantee throughout the Term and a final report upon termination of this Covenant and Easement, in such form and with such reasonable supporting documentation as shall be acceptable to Grantee, detailing its compliance with this Covenant and Easement for the previous year. Such report shall include the quantity of uses by Grantee and by eligible groups for which credit is claimed pursuant to this Covenant and Easement, and the balance of uses remaining by both Grantee and eligible groups. Annual reports shall be delivered to Grantee no later than sixty (60) days after the close of Grantor's fiscal year, and the final report shall be delivered no later than sixty (60) days after termination of this Covenant and Easement. (b) Throughout the Term, Grantor shall maintain books and records adequate to document all activities required to comply with this Covenant and Easement. Such books and records shall be maintained for a minimum of six (6) years after this Covenant and Easement has terminated, and for any period thereafter during which Grantor has notice that there is any audit or dispute to which such books and records may be relevant. During the term of this Covenant and Easement Grantee shall have the right to inspect and copy such books and records at Grantee's expense, upon seven (7)-days advance notice and during normal business hours. If, upon such inspection, Grantee determines that any uses previously credited pursuant to this Covenant and Easement were in error or were not sufficiently supported by documentation, Grantee may disallow such credits retroactively and, to the extent of such disallowance, the use rights shall be reinstated. 5. Damage or Destruction. If the Garden is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty during the Term of this Covenant and Easement and Grantor does not commence restoration or rebuilding of the Garden within eighteen (18) months after the event of casualty loss and diligently pursue the same to completion, then Grantor shall reimburse all payments that Grantee shall have made hereunder or under the Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") between Grantee and Grantor dated __________________, 2005, and incorporated herein by reference, without interest, provided that said amounts to be reimbursed shall be multiplied by the ratio of the unused months in the Term to the total months in the Term (300 months). Upon such reimbursement, this Covenant and Easement shall terminate. If Grantor commences restoration or rebuilding within eighteen (18) months, the Term shall be extended by the number of months that the Garden was closed due to casualty loss. 6. Representations and Warranties.

Grantee's rights and remedies hereunder are not exclusive, but cumulative, and Grantee's exercise of any right or remedy due to Grantor's failure to perform any term, covenant, condition, or other obligation hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of, or alter, affect, or prejudice any other right or remedy that Grantee may have hereunder or by law or in equity. 8. Insurance Requirements. Grantor shall carry at all times during the life of this Covenant and Easement, and provide Grantee with documentation thereof on an annual basis along with other reporting requirements as set forth within this Covenant and Easement, property and liability insurance covering the Garden, including its structures and the property upon which it is sited and those possessions within the structures needed to effectuate this Covenant and Easement.

No Waiver. Grantee's failure to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or obligation of this Covenant and Easement or to exercise any right or remedy upon a breach thereof shall not constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any other covenant or obligation.
