THIS PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY EASEMENT AGREEMENT (`Basement"),
effective this 5� day of Q�;�� , 2005, is made by and between SOUTHPORT
ONE, LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("Grantor"), and CITY OF RENTON, a
Washington municipal corporation("Grantee").
RECITALS
A. Grantor is the owner of real property located in King County, Washington
legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Grantor Property").
B. The Gene L. Coulon Memorial Beach Park, a municipal public park operated
by Grantee, is located northeasterly of the Grantor Property (the "Park"). The Park contains a
public walkway, a portion of which is along the southern shoreline of Lake Washington (the
"Walkway").
C. Grantee desires to extend the Walkway from the Park across a portion of the
Grantor Property.
D. Grantor has agreed to grant an easement across that portion of the Grantor
Property depicted on Exhibit B attached hereto and legally described in Exhibit C attached
hereto (the "Easement Area") for the purpose of operating and maintaining a public walkway
for pedestrian use subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
In furtherance of the Recitals set forth above, which are incorporated herein by
reference, and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth below, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:
1. Grant of Easement. Grantor hereby conveys and quitclaims to Grantee a
perpetual, non-exclusive easement over, across, and upon the Easement Area for the purpose
of operating and maintaining a public walkway for pedestrian use.
This Easement shall include the right to access by the Grantee (including its
employees, agents and contractars) over the surface of the Easement Area as necessary for the
Grantee to satisfy its maintenance and repair obligations as set forth in Section 6, including
inspection at reasonable intervals.
2. Reservation of Rights. Grantor reserves the right to use the Easement Area in
order to construct, maintain, operate, or repair any of Grantor's improvements and/or uses on
the Grantor Property. This reservation shall include, but not be limited to, the right to: (a) to
maintain, inspect, repair, replace, and operate any below-ground utilities located now or in the
2
future within the Easement Area; (b) to temporarily block or interrupt access to the Easement
Area for vehicle loading/unloading, deliveries, maintenance vehicles, and/or emergency
vehicles; and (c) to block access to the Easement Area for up to 24 consecutive hours, or
longer with the prior written approval of Grantee, for special events on the Grantor Property,
including, but not limited to, concerts, weddings, and conventions. The reservation set forth
in subsection 2(c) above shall apply only until the City or a third party designated by the City
completes construction of the Sam Chastain Waterfront Trail extension trail between point A
and point B as shown on Exhibit D hereto, and only so long as such trail remains open to the
public and is maintained in a good and functional condition. Grantor further reserves the right
to use the Easement Area for any other purposes not inconsistent with the easement rights
granted in Section l, provided that such other uses do not unreasonably interfere with
Grantee's use of the Easement Area.
3. Limitations on Easement. The easement rights granted in Section 1 above are
further limited as follows:
A. The easement rights granted herein may be exercised only during those
hours when Gene Coulon Park is open to the public, as may be modified from time to time.
B. The easement rights granted herein are limited to pedestrian
connectivity only. Such rights do not include any rights of assembly, speech, demonstration,
or petition, and does not authorize exhibiting any placard, signs or notices, distributing any
circular, handbill, placard, or booklet, soliciting membership or contributions, parading,
picketing or loitering.
C. The easement rights granted herein do not include the right to ingest,
sell or distribute alcohol within the Easement Area.
D. Except as provided in Paragraph 6 below, Grantee shall not have the
right to make any temporary or permanent improvements, including installing landscaping,
benches, signage, or other above-grade structures, within the Easement Area without the prior
written consent of the Grantor.
4. Improvement of Easement Area. Grantor shall be responsible at its sole cost
and expense for designing and constructing an at-grade pedestrian walkway over the
Easement Area. Grantor plans to construct the pedestrian walkway in two phases. As of the
date of this Easement, Grantor has already constructed a temporary paved pedestrian walkway
within the Easement Area ("Temparary Walkway"). Grantor agrees to replace this
Temporary Walkway with a permanent walkway ("Permanent Walkway") in conjunction with
developing the Grantor Property consistent with future site plan approvals for the Grantor
Property.
3
5. Restrictions on Easement Area Improvements. The parties agree that any
improvements to the Easement Area, including both the Temporary Walkway and the
Permanent Walkway, shall be designed to be consistent with Grantor's use of the remainder
of the Grantor Property and any other properties owned by the Grantor or its affiliates
abutting the Grantor Property.
6. Maintenance of Easement Area. Grantor shall maintain at its sole cost and
expense the Temporary Walkway in a good and functional manner. Grantor's obligation to
maintain the Temporary Walkway shall terminate upon the replacement of the Temporary
Walkway with the Permanent Walkway in the Easement Area.
Following Grantor's construction of the Permanent Walkway on the Easement Area,
Grantee shall assume responsibility, at its sole cost and expense, for maintaining and repairing
the Permanent Walkway. This responsibility shall also include the obligation to replace the
Permanent Walkway, as needed; provided that, Grantee shall submit its schematic plans and
construction details for any proposed replacement of all ar any portion of the Permanent
Walkway to Grantor at least sixty (60) days before commencing construction, and Grantee
must obtain Grantor's prior written consent to any such plans and details before commencing
construction.
Grantee's maintenance, repair and replacement obligations shall be performed
consistent with the following conditions and restrictions:
A. The Grantee shall maintain the Permanent Walkway to a level
consistent with the quality of other improvements on the Grantor Property, but in no event
shall that level fall below the standards for other pedestrian walkways maintained by Grantee
along the Lake Washington shoreline and/or other parks owned or managed by Grantee.
B. Grantee shall perform all maintenance, repair and/or replacement work
in a careful, workmanlike manner, free of claims or liens.
C. Grantee shall perform all maintenance, repair and/or replacement work
in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of the remainder
of the Grantar Property.
D. Grantee shall perform all maintenance, repair and/or replacement work
in a manner so as not to unreasonably block pedestrian or vehicular access to, from, and/or
across the Easement Area by the Grantor, its successors, assigns, lessees, sublessees, tenants,
subtenants, invitees, employees, contractors or agents.
E. Grantee shall perform all maintenance, repair and/or replacement work
in a manner so as not to block any views from the Grantor Property of Lake Washington
without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Grantor.
4
F. Grantee shall perform all maintenance, repair and/or replacement work
in a prompt and timely manner. Once Grantee has initiated any maintenance, repair and/or
replacement work in the Easement Area, Grantee shall continue such work through
completion without any unreasonable delay.
The foregoing shall not prevent Grantor from also maintaining portions of the
Easement Area if Grantor elects to do so (but without any obligation of Grantor to do so).
7. Relocation of Easement Area. Grantor shall have the right to relocate the
Easement Area from time to time in connection with a general improvement plan for the
Grantor Property; provided that the new location of the Easement Area shall be no more than
20 feet from the location set forth in Exhibits B and C, and shall be sufficient to serve the
Grantee for the same purposes and in the same manner as the location designated in this
Easement; and provided further that the Grantor shall not block or close access to the
Easement Area depicted and legally described in Exhibits B and C until Grantor has opened
the relocated easement area to the public for use as a public walkway for pedestrian use.
Grantor shall perform any such relocation at its sole cost and expense. Upon such relocation,
and at the request of Grantor, Grantor and Grantee shall amend this Easement to specify the
new location of the Easement Area.
8. Easements Run with the Land. The grant of the foregoing easement shall run
with the land and inure to the benefit and be binding upon the successors and assigns of
Grantee and Grantor, respectively, and shall bind the Grantor Property as the subservient
tenement and benefit the Park as the dominant tenements, for so long as the Park remains
open to the public.
9. Breach. In the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Easement by the
Grantor or Grantee, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to sue for damages and/ar for
specific performance and/or to enjoin such breach or threatened breach.
10. Risk of Damages. Any use of the Grantor Property, including the Easement
Area, by Grantee, or its successors, assigns, lessees, sublessees, tenants, subtenants, invitees,
employees, contractors or agents (the "Benefited Parties") shall be deemed to be at the risk of
the person or entity using the same, and Grantor shall not be liable or responsible for any
damage to property or injury to person or loss of life that may result to Grantee, and/or the
Benefited Parties, ar any other person, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence of
the Grantor, or its agents or employees. Grantee and/or any of the Benefited Parties shall not
commit waste or create or permit nuisances on the Easement Area. Grantee accepts the
Easement Area in its present condition, "AS-IS," and Grantor shall have no duties to Grantee,
except as provided in Sections 4 and 6 above, regarding the condition of the Easement Area.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10 shall not apply with regard to any defect(s) in
the Easement Area existing prior to the date on which the Grantee assumes responsibility for
5
maintaining and repairing the Permanent Walkway pursuant to Section 6 above, which are
known to the Grantor, but not known to the Grantee and not disclosed by the Grantor to the
Grantee.
11. Indemnification. Grantee hereby releases, indemnifies and promises to defend
and save harmless Grantor from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, expense,
actions and claims, including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Grantor in
defense thereof, asserted or arising directly or indirectly on account of or out of acts or
omissions of Grantee in the exercise of the rights granted herein and/or in connection with or
arising from the use of the Easement Area; provided however this paragraph does not purport
to indemnify Grantor against liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or
damage to property caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Grantor, or its agents or employees.
If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this Easement is subject to the
provisions of RCW 4.24.115, the parties agree that the indemnity provisions in this Easement
shall be deemed amended to conform to said statute and liability shall be allocated as
provided therein.
12. Insurance. Grantee and/or its contractors, employees and agents working on
the Grantor Property or Easement Area shall maintain in full force and effect during the term
of this Easement a policy of commercial general liability and property damage insurance

Grantor and with a minimum limit of $5,000,000 per occurrence under which policy the
Grantor is an additional insured.
13. Hazardous Materials. In no event shall the Grantee store, dispose, release, or
discharge from, or otherwise use any "Hazardous Materials" or other wastes or substances on
the Grantor Property or the Easement Area. "Hazardous Materials" means any (a) petroleum
products or by-products; (b) all hazardous or toxic substances, wastes or materials or

other chemical, pollutant or material which is regulated by any federal, state or local
governmental agency or authority under any environmental laws. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Hazardous Materials shall not be defined to include fuel or lubricants necessary for
the operation of Grantee's maintenance vehicles, inspection vehicles or maintenance
equipment, provided that such materials are used in accordance with any and all applicable
Hazardous Material laws, and are handled in a reasonably prudent manner.
14. Termination. In the event Grantor has not begun development of the Grantor
Property pursuant to final site plan approvals within fifteen (15) years from the date of this
Easement, all rights granted by this Easement shall automatically terminate and be of no
6
further force and effect. Upon such termination, Grantor may record notice thereof without
