The Port and theCity are hereinafter sometimes referred to jointly as the "Parties". RECITALS A. On or about December 18, 2009, the Port acquired from BNSF Railway Company ("BNSF") pursuant to a Quit Claim Deed (the "BNSF Deed") recorded underKing County Auditor's File No.20091218001536, real property developed as a rail corridor and commonly known as the Woodinville Subdivision. B. Sections of the Woodinville Subdivision are improved with rail tracts and certain commercial and industrial structures and fixtures associated with rail operations (the "Improvements"). The Improvements were acquired by the Port from BNSF pursuant to a Bill of Sale (the "BNSF Bill of Sale") executed on or about December 18, 2009. C. The BNSF Deed, among other things, obligates BNSF to pay the Port and/or King County the costs to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure any hazardous substance releases or violations of environmental law to the extent such hazardous substance releases or violations of environmental law (i) occurred as a result of the operations of BNSF, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors, or its corporate predecessors and their agents, employees, invitees or contractors, and (ii) have been ordered to be cured by an applicable regulatory agency; provided, however, that BNSF need only pay for such costs as are necessary to bring the Woodinville Subdivision up to the standards for a freight railway or the standards that the regulatory agency would apply for other affected properties (the "BNSF Remediation Obligation"). D. In the BNSF Deed, BNSF reserved for itself an exclusive easement for freight rail purposes over a portion of the Woodinville Subdivision (the "Freight Easement"). BNSF thereafter conveyed the Freight Easement to GNP Rly, Inc., a Washington corporation ("GNP"), by Quit Claim Deed executed on or about December 18, 2009, and recorded under Snohomish County Auditor's File No. 200912210439. {GAR1309945.DOCX;2/00046.170015/ } REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT 1 E. On or about December 18, 2009, the Port entered into an Operations and Maintenance Agreement between Port of Seattle and GNP Rly, Inc. (the "O&M Agreement"). The O&M Agreement sets forth the rights, obligations, terms and conditions as between the Port and GNP with respect to GNP's use of the Woodinville Subdivision for freight rail operations. F. On or about December 8, 2012, through an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, the assets of GNP, including the right to operate under the Freight Easement and the O&M Agreement, were conveyed to Eastside Community Rail, LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("Eastside Community Rail"). Eastside Community Rail assumed all rights and obligations of GNP under the O&M Agreement with the Port. G. The City desires to acquire from the Port, and the Port desires to sell to the City, pursuant to Chapter 39.33 of the Revised Code of Washington (Intergovernmental Property Disposition Act) and the terms and conditions described below, all that portion of the Woodinville Subdivision located within the City or the City of Bothell and any of the Improvements located within and along that portion of the Woodinville Subdivision lying within the City or the City of Bothell (collectively referred to hereafter as the "Property"). The Property is legally described on Exhibit A to this Agreement. A diagram map showing the approximate location of the Property is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B. H. The Property is subject to an easement recorded on December 21, 2010, under King County Auditor's File No. 201012211000998 in favor of Puget Sound Energy (the "PSE Easement"), as amended by amendment recorded on February 12, 2013, under King County Auditor's File No. 20130212002422.

The City had previously identified certain ancillary portions of the Property (the "Ancillary Property")that it intended to purchase separately pursuant to an Ancillary Property Purchase and Sale Agreement between the parties dated July 24, 2014 (the "Ancillary Agreement"). The partieswish to terminate that Ancillary Agreement. The Ancillary Property will instead be purchased pursuant to this Agreement and is included in the definition of "Property" herein.
