I. RECITALS WHEREAS, Grantor and Grantee make the following recitals: A. Grantor is the sole owner in fee simple of that certain real property located at 8511 15th Ave NE, Seattle WA 98115, in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of Northeast Seattle, in King County, Washington, which is legally described in Exhibit A attached to and incorporated into this Easement by this reference (the "Property"). B. The Property, which is located in a densely populated portion of Seattle, includes a mature Douglas fir grove of approximately .4 acres that is the target of this Easement ("Conservation Zone"). C. The Conservation Zone, which is legally described in Exhibit B attached to and incorporated into this Easement by this reference, provides natural, scenic, wildlife habitat, open space, stormwater retention, and educational values (collectively, the "Conservation Values"), of great importance to the people of Northeast Seattle and as more particularly described in Recitals below. D. The Conservation Zone provides wildlife habitat, visually enhances the neighborhood and offers a pleasing contrast to densely developed urban lands within the neighborhood. E. The Property is an extremely desirable property for future residential development because of its location, natural features, and orientation. In the absence of this Easement, the Property and its Conservation Zone could be developed into multiple building lots, which would destroy the wildlife habitat and natural appearance of the Conservation Zone. F. The specific Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone are documented in an inventory of relevant features, which are maintained on file at the offices of the Grantee and are incorporated into this Easement by this reference ("Baseline Documentation"). The Baseline Documentation consists of maps, photographs, and other documentation that provide, collectively, an accurate representation of the Conservation Zone at the date of grant of this Easement and that is intended to serve as an objective information baseline for monitoring compliance with the terms of this Easement. G. Grantor, as owner of the Property, desires to protect, and preserve the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone in perpetuity. H. Grantee agrees, by accepting this Easement, to preserve and protect in perpetuity the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone for the benefit of this generation and the generations to come. II. GRANT A. For the reasons stated above, Grantor hereby voluntarily grants, bargains, sells, conveys and confirms to Grantee, and Grantee accepts, as permitted by R.C.W. 64.04.130, R.C.W. Ch. 84.34, and Seattle Ordinance No. ______, a conservation easement in perpetuity over the Conservation Zone, as defined in this Easement, subject only to the mutual covenants, terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Easement and to those encumbrances set forth in Exhibit B.3 ("Permitted Title Exceptions"), which is attached to and incorporated into this Easement by this reference. B. This Easement is an interest in real property under the provisions of RCW 64.04.130. C. Grantor expressly intends that this Easement run with the land and that this Easement shall be binding upon Grantor's personal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns. III. PURPOSE A. The purpose ("Purpose") of this Easement is to implement the mutual intentions of Grantor and Grantee as expressed in the above Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, and in the provisions that follow, to assure that the Conservation Zone will be retained forever in its natural and open space condition, and to prevent any use of, or activity on, the Conservation Zone that will impair or interfere with the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone (the "Purpose"). B. To further this Purpose, the parties to this Easement with assistance from interested community members, or community members with the consent of Grantor and Grantee, may develop a plan for stewardship of the Conservation Zone (the "Stewardship Plan"). The Stewardship Plan would generally describe activities mutually acceptable to Grantor and Grantee to steward, maintain, protect, enhance, or restore the open space, habitat, and natural conditions of the Conservation Zone, and to control or eradicate invasive plant species. The failure to develop a Stewardship Plan shall in no way affect the effectiveness or enforceability of this Easement. Interested community members may, at their own cost, hire a licensed arborist during development of the Stewardship Plan, if developed, to assist with recommendations for stewardship of the Conservation Zone. IV. GRANTEE'S RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES To accomplish the Purpose of this Easement, the following rights are conveyed to Grantee by this Easement: A. Identification, Protection, and Enhancement. The right to identify, preserve, and protect in perpetuity the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone. Grantee shall not undertake enhancement or management of the Conservation Zone without agreement of Grantor in writing, such as the Stewardship Plan described in Section III above. B. Access. The right to enter the Conservation Zone for inspection to assure compliance with this Easement. C. Signs. The right to post signs on the Conservation Zone concerning the Easement and public access; provided that if a sign or signs on the Conservation Zone, or other public announcement, indicates that public access to the Property is permitted, then such sign or other public announcement shall also state that entry is permitted during daylight hours. Location of signs shall be by mutual agreement of Grantor and Grantee. D. Injunction and Restoration. The right to enjoin any use of, or activity on, the Conservation Zone that is inconsistent with the Purpose of this Easement, including trespass by members of the public, and undertake or cause to be undertaken the restoration of such areas or features of the Conservation Zone as may be damaged by uses or activities contrary to the provisions of this Easement, consistent with Section IX. E. Enforcement. The right to enforce the terms of this Easement, consistent with Section IX. F. Assignment. The right to assign, convey, or otherwise transfer Grantee's interest in the Conservation Zone, consistent with Section XIV. G. Development Rights. All development rights that are now or hereafter associated with, allocated to, implied, reserved, or inherent in the Conservation Zone. Grantor and Grantee agree that Grantor may not use such development rights or transfer such development rights from the Conservation Zone to any other portion of the Property as it now or hereafter may be bounded or described, or to any other property, or use such development rights or the area of the Conservation Zone for the purpose of calculating permissible lot yield, lot coverage, setbacks, or density of the Property or any other property. V. GRANTOR'S RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES A. General. Grantor has the right to engage in, or to permit or invite others to engage in any use of, or activity in, the Conservation Zone that is not inconsistent with the Purpose of this Easement and that is not prohibited by this Easement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor specifically reserves for itself and its personal representatives, heirs, successor, and assigns, the following uses and activities subject to applicable law: B. Conservation Zone. 1. Continued Use of Pipelines. Grantor may continue to use and repair any underground pipeline for the conveyance of water or wastewater identified in the Baseline Documentation as existing at the time of grant of this Easement; provided that the repair of any such pipeline be conducted so as to minimize erosion and impact to the grove of trees and that the Conservation Zone be restored or improved to its condition prior to such repair. 2. Protection of Public Health or Safety. Grantor may undertake activities necessary to protect the public health or safety; provided that any such use or activity shall be conducted in compliance with the Environmentally Critical Areas Ordinance of the City of Seattle (ch. 25.09 Seattle Municipal Code or successor chapter) and the Stormwater, Grading and Drainage Control Code of the City of Seattle (ch. 22.800 Seattle Municipal Code or successor chapter) and any other applicable law, and so that interference with the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone is avoided or, if avoidance is not possible, minimized to the extent possible. To ensure that interference with the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone is so avoided or minimized, Grantor shall request approval from the Grantee prior to undertaking any use or activity under this Section V.B.2. Grantor's request shall include measures to restore the Conservation Zone to a condition prior to such use or activity to the maximum extent possible. 3. Landscaping, Vegetation Management. Grantor may manage, enhance, and protect vegetation within the Conservation Zone to enhance, maintain, or restore the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone; provided that such activities are undertaken consistent with the Purpose of this Easement and the Stewardship Plan, if any, and pursuant to a written vegetation management plan prepared by Grantor and approved in advance by Grantee, and that a copy of this Easement Section V.B.3. (and Stewardship Plan, if any, and the vegetation management plan) is submitted to all permitting authorities together with all required applications. 4. Waste Removal. Grantor may remove any wastes, refuse, or other debris from the Conservation Zone. 5. Footpath. Grantor may maintain, improve, or rebuild the footpath that currently exists in the Conservation Zone; provided that such work is undertaken consistent with the Purpose of this Easement and pursuant to a construction plan prepared by Grantor and approved in advance by Grantee, and that the removal of trees is prohibited and the removal of shrubs is avoided in the creation of such footpath; and that damage to the trees' root structures is minimized to the greatest extent possible. 6. Lighting. Grantor may locate, install, and maintain lighting along the footpath; provided that such work is undertaken consistent with the Purpose of this Easement and pursuant to a lighting plan prepared by Grantor and approved in advance by Grantee. To the extent possible, such lighting improvements shall be low impact and shall not overly detract from the natural features of the Conservation Zone. 7. Construction of Fences, Gates. Grantor may locate, construct, and maintain fences and gates along the Property boundary abutting the Conservation Zone; provided that such work is undertaken consistent with the Purpose of this Easement and pursuant to a construction plan prepared by Grantor and approved in advance by Grantee. To the extent possible, such improvements shall complement and enhance the natural features of the Conservation Zone. 8. Children's Play Equipment. Grantor may locate, install, and maintain children's play equipment in the Conservation Zone; provided that such work is undertaken consistent with the Purpose of this Easement and pursuant to a construction plan prepared by Grantor, approved in advance by Grantee, that prohibits removal of trees and use of concrete foundations or footings in the installation of such play equipment. Grantor has agreed to limited installation of children's play equipment in the Conservation Zone in recognition of Menachem Mendel Seattle Cheder's mission and its cooperation with this Easement. At such time as Menachem Mendel Seattle Cheder is no longer the owner of the Property, children's play equipment will no longer be permitted in the Conservation Zone. 9. Recreational. Grantor may undertake passive recreational activities such as hiking and bird watching in the Conservation Zone; provided that such activities are conducted in a manner and intensity that does not adversely impact the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone. C. Creation of Mortgage Liens. Grantor may create consensual liens, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, or otherwise, for the purpose of securing repayment of indebtedness; provided that such liens shall be at all times subordinate to this Easement. VI. PROHIBITED USES AND ACTIVITIES Any use of, or activity in, the Conservation Zone inconsistent with the Purpose of this Easement is prohibited, and Grantor and Grantee acknowledge and agree that they will not conduct, engage in, or permit any such use or activity. Without limiting the generality of this Section, the following uses or activities, though not an exhaustive list, are inconsistent with the Purpose of this Easement and shall be prohibited; except as expressly provided for in Section V: A. Removal of Nonhazardous Trees and Other Vegetation. Grantor shall not prune, cut down, or top, or otherwise destroy or remove nonhazardous live and dead trees and other understory vegetation within the Conservation Zone; except for Holly trees and as deemed necessary by Grantee and consistent with the Stewardship Plan, if any, to preserve, protect, or restore the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone. B. Subdivision of Property. Grantor shall not legally or "de facto" subdivide any portion of the Conservation Zone, in any manner. Grantor shall retain no right to use all or any portion of the Conservation Zone, or any development rights associated with the Conservation Zone, in conjunction with the rest of the Property or other property to create new or reconfigured lots or parcels or additional building sites, or to use all or any portion of the Conservation Zone or any development rights associated with the Conservation Zone to meet setback, density, or open space requirements for development on the rest of the Property or other property. C. Construction. Grantor shall not place or construct any buildings, structures, fixtures, or other improvements of any kind within the Conservation Zone (including, without limitation, pipelines, wells, septic systems, drainfields, roads, and parking areas). D. Utilities. Grantor shall not construct or install any utility pole, tower, line, or facility within the Conservation Zone. E. Storage. Grantor shall not store or place equipment, supplies, or personal property of any kind within the Conservation Zone. F. Alteration of Land. Grantor shall not alter the surface of the Conservation Zone, including, without limitation, the excavation, fill, or removal of soil, sand, gravel, rock, peat, or sod; except as deemed necessary by Grantee to preserve, protect, or restore the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone. G. Erosion or Water Pollution. Grantor shall not undertake any use or activity within the Conservation Zone that causes or is likely to cause significant soil degradation or erosion or significant pollution of any surface or subsurface waters. H. Exploration or Mining. Grantor shall not conduct any exploration for, or development, or extraction of, minerals and hydrocarbons in the Conservation Zone. I. Waste Disposal. Grantor shall not dump, store, or dispose of wastes, refuse, and other debris of any kind, including yard waste and compost, within the Conservation Zone. J. Uncontrolled Drainage. Grantor shall not discharge pollutants or stormwater into the Conservation Zone. K. Impervious Surfaces. Grantor may not create any new area of impervious surface or expand any impervious surface existing at the time of this grant within the Conservation Zone. L. Herbicides or Pesticides. Grantor shall not apply, store, release, or deposit any herbicide or pesticide within the Conservation Zone; except as approved in advance by Grantee to preserve, protect, or restore the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone. M. Other Hazardous Substances. Grantor shall not apply, store, release, or deposit any petroleum product or any other hazardous, dangerous, or toxic waste or substance as now or hereafter defined by applicable law or regulation within the Conservation Zone. N. Wildlife Disruption. Grantor shall not intentionally disrupt wildlife breeding and nesting activities within the Conservation Zone. O. Other Restrictions. Grantor shall not hunt, trap, camp, burn (or otherwise use fire), discharge firearms, compost, or store vehicles of any kind within the Conservation Zone. VII. NOTICE AND APPROVAL A. Notice. 1. Grantor. Several provisions of this Easement require Grantor to notify the Grantee and to receive the Grantee's written approval prior to undertaking certain permitted uses and activities within the Conservation Zone (e.g., V.B.2 (property protection), V.B.3 (vegetation management), V.B.5 (footpath), V.B.6 (lighting), V.B.7 (fences and gates), V.B.8 (children's play equipment),VI.M. (herbicides, pesticides) and XII.D (subsequent transfers). The purpose of requiring Grantor to notify the Grantee prior to undertaking these permitted (or otherwise prohibited) uses and activities is to afford the Grantee an opportunity to ensure that the use or activity in question is designed and carried out in a manner consistent with the Purpose of this Easement. Whenever such notice or permission is required, Grantor shall notify the Grantee in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date Grantor intends to undertake the use or activity in question. The notice shall describe the nature, scope, design, location, timetable, and any other material aspect of the proposed use or activity in sufficient detail to permit the Grantee to make an informed judgment as to its consistency with the Purpose of this Easement. 2. Grantee. Several provisions of this Easement require Grantee to give notice to Grantor prior to undertaking certain activities within the Conservation Zone (e.g., IV.B (access) and XIV.A (assignment. Whenever such notice is required, Grantee shall notify Grantor in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date Grantee intends to undertake the use or activity in question, unless otherwise provided for by this Easement. B. Approval. Where approval by one of the parties is required under this Easement, such approval shall be granted or withheld in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request for approval, and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 1. Grantor. If Grantor must undertake emergency action under Section V.B.2 to protect the public health or safety or must act by and subject to compulsion of any governmental agency, Grantor may proceed with such action without Grantee's approval only if Grantor notifies the Grantee prior to taking such action and Grantee cannot provide its approval, with or without conditions, within such time as is reasonable under the circumstances, and restores the Conservation Zone to a condition prior to such use or activity to the maximum extent possible. 2. Grantee. Grantee's approval may be withheld only upon a reasonable determination by Grantee that the use or activity as proposed would be inconsistent with the Purpose or other terms and conditions of this Easement. Grantee's approval may include reasonable conditions that must be satisfied in undertaking the proposed use or activity. 3. Failure to Approve Within the Required Time. When approval is required under this Easement, and when such approval is not granted or not withheld within the time period and manner set forth in this subsection, approval of the permitted use or activity in question may be presumed. C. Addresses. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, or communication that either party desires or is required to give to the other shall be in writing and either served personally or sent by first class certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: To Grantor: Menachem Mendel Seattle Cheder 1702 N. 45th Street Seattle, WA 98103 Attention: Mark Goldberg To Grantee: Seattle Parks and Recreation 800 Maynard Ave South, 3rd Floor Seattle, WA 98104 Attention: Chip Nevins or to such other address as either party designates by written notice to the other. VIII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION A. Preventive Discussions. Grantor and Grantee will promptly give the other notice of problems or concerns arising in connection with the other's actions under this Easement or the use of or activities or conditions in or on the Conservation Zone, and will meet as needed, but no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request for a meeting, to minimize the same. B. Alternative Dispute Resolution. If a dispute is not resolved through preventive discussions under subsection A above, Grantor and Grantee may by mutual agreement submit the matter to mediation or arbitration upon such rules of mediation or arbitration as Grantor and Grantee may agree upon. IX. THE GRANTEE'S REMEDIES A. Notice of Failure. If Grantee determines that Grantor is in violation of the terms of this Easement or that a violation is threatened, Grantee shall give written notice to Grantor of such violation and demand corrective action sufficient to cure the violation and, where the violation involves injury to the Conservation Zone resulting from any use or activity inconsistent with the Purpose of this Easement, to restore the portion of the Conservation Zone so injured. B. Grantor's Failure to Respond. Grantee may bring an action as provided in Section IX.C. if Grantor: 1. Fails to cure the violation within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice of violation from the Grantee; or 2. Under circumstances where the violation cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, fails to begin curing the violation within the thirty (30) day period or fails to continue diligently to cure such violation until finally cured. C. Grantee's Action. Grantee may bring an action at law or in equity in a court having jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Easement: 1. To enjoin the violation, ex parte as necessary, by temporary or permanent injunction; 2. To recover any damages to which it may be entitled for violation of the terms of this Easement or for injury to any Conservation Values protected by this Easement, including damages for the loss of Conservation Values; and 3. To require the restoration of the Conservation Zone to the condition that existed prior to any such injury. Without limiting Grantor's liability in any way, Grantee shall first apply any damages recovered to the cost of undertaking corrective or restoration action in the Conservation Zone. D. Immediate Action Required. If Grantee, in its sole discretion, determines that circumstances require immediate action to prevent or mitigate significant damage to the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone, Grantee may pursue its remedies under this Section IX. without prior notice to Grantor or without waiting for the period provided for cure to expire. E. Nature of Remedy. Grantee's rights under this section apply equally in the event of either actual or threatened violations of the terms of this Easement. Grantee shall be entitled to the injunctive relief described in this Section IX. in addition to such other relief to which Grantee may be entitled, including specific performance of the terms of this Easement, without the necessity of proving either actual damages or the inadequacy of otherwise available legal remedies. Grantee's remedies described in this Section IX. shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. F. Costs of Restoration. In the event Grantee must enforce the terms of this Easement, the costs of restoration necessitated by acts or omissions of Grantor, its agents, employees, contractors, family members, invitees, or licensees in violation of the terms of this Easement shall be borne by Grantor or those of its personal representatives, heirs, successors, or assigns, against whom a judgment is entered. In the event that Grantee secures redress for an Easement violation without initiating or completing a judicial proceeding, the costs of such restoration shall be borne by Grantor or those of its personal representatives, heirs, successors, or assigns who are otherwise determined to be responsible for the unauthorized use or activity. G. Grantee's Forbearance. Enforcement of the terms of this Easement shall be at the discretion of Grantee, and any forbearance by Grantee to exercise its rights under this Easement in the event of any breach of any terms of this Easement by Grantor, its agents, employees, contractors, family members, invitees or licensees shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver by Grantee of such term or of any right under this Easement. No delay or omission by Grantee in the exercise of any right or remedy upon any breach by Grantor shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. H. Waiver of Certain Defenses. Grantor acknowledges that Grantee and its successors and assigns have limited resources for monitoring compliance with the terms of this Easement. In recognition of this fact, Grantor hereby waives any technical defense it may have against an enforcement action undertaken by Grantee or its successors or assigns based upon laches (e.g., delay by Grantee in enforcing the terms of this Easement), estoppel (e.g., a claim by Grantor that, in reliance on a prior oral rather than written statement of Grantee, it undertook a use or activity on the Conservation Zone deemed by Grantee to be inconsistent with the Purpose of this Easement), or prescription. I. Acts Beyond Grantor's Control. Nothing contained in this Easement shall be construed to entitle Grantee to bring any action against Grantor to abate, correct, or restore any condition on the Conservation Zone or to recover damages for any injury to or changes on the Conservation Zone resulting from causes beyond Grantor's control, including, without limitation, natural changes, climate change, fire, flood, storm, or earth movement, or from acts of trespassers, or from any prudent action taken by Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to the Conservation Zone resulting from such causes. J. Estoppel Certificates. Upon request by Grantor, Grantee shall within thirty (30) days execute and deliver to Grantor any document, including an estoppel certificate, that certifies Grantor's compliance with any obligation of Grantor contained in this Easement and otherwise evidences the status of this Easement. X. PUBLIC ACCESS While Menachem Mendel Seattle Cheder is the owner of the Property, public access is limited as follows: the public may enter a fenced-off portion of the Conservation Zone (mutually acceptable to Grantor and Grantee), consisting of approximately 1000 square feet, via 15th Avenue NE, for passive recreation consistent with protecting the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone. Grantor has agreed to limited public access in recognition of the unique security concerns of Menachem Mendel Seattle Cheder. At such time as Menachem Mendel Seattle Cheder is no longer the owner of the Property, public access to the Conservation Zone may be expanded by Grantee if Grantee determines that additional public access is consistent with the reasonable security concerns of successor Grantors and with protection of the Conservation Values of the Conservation Zone. XI. COSTS, LIABILITIES AND INSURANCE, TAXES, AND INDEMNIFICATION A. Costs, Liabilities and Insurance. Grantor retains all responsibilities and shall bear all costs and liabilities of any kind related to the ownership, upkeep, and maintenance of the Conservation Zone, including the maintenance of adequate liability insurance coverage. Grantor shall keep the Conservation Zone free and clear of any liens arising out of any work performed for, material furnished to, or obligations incurred by Grantor; provided that the Conservation Zone shall be deemed to be free of such liens if Grantor is diligently challenging the application of such liens to the Conservation Zone. B. Taxes. Grantor shall pay all taxes levied against the Property, including the Conservation Zone, by government authority as they become due, and shall furnish the Grantee with satisfactory evidence of payment upon request. If Grantor fails to pay any taxes when due, Grantee is authorized, but in no event obligated, to make or advance such payment of taxes upon three (3) days prior written notice to Grantor, in accordance with any bill, statement, or estimate procured from the appropriate authority, without inquiry into the validity of the taxes or the accuracy of the bill, statement, or estimate, and the obligation created by such payment shall bear interest until paid by Grantor at the maximum rate allowed by law. C. Indemnification. Grantor shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the Grantee, its successors and assigns, and its members, directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of each of them (collectively "Indemnified Parties") from and against all liabilities, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims, demands, or judgments, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, arising from or in any way connected with: 1. Injury to or the death of any person, or physical damage to any property, resulting from any act, omission, condition, or other matter related to or occurring in or about the Property, including the Conservation Zone, that is not a consequence of any activity of any of the Indemnified Parties undertaken under the rights granted to Grantee under this Easement; 2. Violations or alleged violations of any federal, State or local environmental law or regulation relating to pollutants or hazardous, toxic or dangerous substances or materials, unless such violations or alleged violations are due to the acts or omissions of any of the Indemnified Parties on the Property, including the Conservation Zone; and 3. The obligations specified in subsections A and B of this section. XII. EXTINGUISHMENT AND SUBSEQUENT TRANSFER A. Extinguishment. If circumstances arise in the future that render the Purpose of this Easement impossible to accomplish, this Easement can only be terminated or extinguished, whether in whole or in part, by judicial proceedings in a court having jurisdiction. The amount of the proceeds to which Grantee shall be entitled, after the satisfaction of prior claims, from any sale, exchange, or involuntary conversion of all or any portion of the Conservation Zone subsequent to such termination or extinguishment, shall be determined, unless otherwise provided by Washington law at the time, in accordance with Section XII.B of this Easement. Grantee shall use all such proceeds for acquisition or preservation of other lands within Northeast Seattle. Any endowment funds assigned to the Conservation Zone shall be assigned to properties or property interests acquired under this section. B. Valuation. This Easement constitutes a real property interest immediately vested in Grantee, which, for the purpose of this Section XII, the parties agree to have a fair market value determined by multiplying the fair market value of the Property unencumbered by the Easement (minus any increase in the value after the date of this grant attributable to improvements) by the ratio of the value of the Easement at the time of this grant to the value of the Property, without deduction for the value of the Easement, at the time of this grant. For the purposes of this paragraph, the ratio at the time of this grant of the value of the Easement to the value of the Property unencumbered by the Easement shall remain constant. C. Condemnation. In the event that the Conservation Zone is taken, in whole or in part, by exercise of the power of eminent domain, Grantee shall be entitled to compensation in the amount determined by using the valuation described in Section XII.B of this Easement multiplied by the percentage of the Conservation Zone taken. Grantee shall use all such compensation for acquisition or preservation of other lands within Northeast Seattle. Any endowment funds assigned to the Conservation Zone shall be assigned to properties or property interests acquired under this section. D. Subsequent Transfers. Grantor agrees to: 1. Incorporate the terms of this Easement in any deed or other legal instrument by which it divests itself of any interest in all or a portion of the Property, including, without limitation, a leasehold interest; 2. Describe this Easement in and append it to, any executory contract for the transfer of any interest in the Property; 3. Give written notice to the Grantee of the transfer of any interest no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of such transfer. Such notice to Grantee shall include the name, address, and telephone number of the prospective transferee or representative. The failure of Grantor to perform any act required by this Section shall not impair the validity of this Easement or limit its enforceability in any way. XIII. AMENDMENT If circumstances arise under which an amendment to or modification of this Easement would be appropriate, Grantee and Grantor are free to jointly amend this Easement; provided that any amendment shall be consistent with the Purpose of this Easement, and shall not affect its perpetual duration. Any such amendment shall be recorded in the official records of King County, Washington, and any other jurisdiction in which such recording is required. XIV. ASSIGNMENT This Easement is transferable, but Grantee may assign its rights and obligations under this Easement only to an organization or government unit that is authorized to acquire and hold conservation easements under RCW 64.04.130 or RCW 84.34.250 (or any successor provision(s) then applicable). As a condition of such transfer, Grantee shall require that the transferee exercise its rights under the assignment consistent with the Purpose of this Easement. Grantee shall notify Grantor in writing, at Grantor's last known address, in advance of such assignment. XV. RECORDATION Grantee shall record this instrument in timely fashion in the official records of King County, Washington, and in any other appropriate jurisdictions, and may re-record it at any time as may be required to preserve its rights in this Easement. XVI. GENERAL PROVISIONS A. Controlling Law. The interpretation and performance of this Easement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington. B. Liberal Construction. Any general rule of construction to the contrary notwithstanding, this Easement shall be liberally construed in favor of the reservation to affect the Purpose of this Easement and the policy and purposes of RCW 64.04.130 and Chapter 84.34 RCW. If any provision in this instrument is found to be ambiguous, an interpretation consistent with the Purpose of this Easement that would render the provision valid shall be favored over any interpretation that would render it invalid. C. Severability. If any provision of this Easement, or its application to any person or circumstance, is found to be invalid, the remainder of the provisions of this Easement, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is found to be invalid, as the case may be, shall not be affected. D. Entire Easement. This instrument sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Conservation Zone and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings, or agreements relating to the Conservation Zone, all of which are merged into this Easement. No alteration or variation of this instrument shall be valid or binding unless contained in an amendment that complies with Section XIII. E. No Forfeiture. Nothing contained in this Easement will result in a forfeiture or reversion of Grantor's title in any respect. F. "Grantor" "Grantee". The terms "Grantor" and "Grantee," wherever used in this Easement, and any pronouns used in their place, shall be held to mean and include, respectively, the above-named Grantor, and its personal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns, and the abovenamed Grantee, and its personal representatives, successors, and assigns. G. Successors. The covenants, terms, conditions, and restrictions of this Easement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns, and shall continue as a servitude running in perpetuity with the Property. H. Termination of Rights and Obligations. A party's rights and obligations under this Easement terminate upon transfer of the party's entire interest in the Easement or Property, except that liability for acts or omissions occurring prior to transfer shall survive the transfer. I. Subordination. At the time of conveyance of this Easement, the Property is subject to three deeds of trust against the Property. The beneficiaries of the deeds of trust have agreed by separate instruments, which will be recorded concurrently with this Easement, to subordinate their rights in the Property to this Easement or to the extent necessary to permit Grantee to enforce the Purpose of this Easement in perpetuity and to prevent any modification or extinguishment of this Easement by the exercise of any rights of the beneficiaries under the deeds of trust. J. Recitals. The recitals set forth in Section I above are incorporated into this Easement by this reference. K. Effective Date. The effective date of this Easement is the date of recording in the records of King County, Washington. XVII. SCHEDULE OF EXHIBITS A. Legal Description of the Property B.
