post -completion stewardship responsibilities.

law or equity arising in whole or in part from the actual or alleged acts, errors, omissions or negligence of, or the breach of any
obligation under this Agreement by, the sponsor or the sponsor's agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or vendors, of any

liable.

vendors, of any tier, or any other persons for whom the sponsor may be legally liable.
This provision shall be included in any Agreement between sponsor and any contractors, subcontractors and vendors, of any tier.

the sponsor agrees to execute an appropriate document conveying certain rights and responsibilities to RCO, on behalf of the

the real property lies, and to provide a copy of the recorded document to RCO. The document required will vary depending on the
project type, the real property rights being acquired and whether or not those rights are being acquired in perpetuity.
1. Deed of Right. The Deed of Right conveys to the people of the state of Washington the right to preserve, protect, and/or use
the property for public purposes consistent with the fund source. See WAC 420-12 or 286-13. Sponsors shall use this
document when acquiring real property rights that include the underlying land. This document may also be applicable for
those easements where the sponsor has acquired a perpetual easement for public purposes.
2. Assignment of Rights. The Assignment of Rights document transfers certain rights such as access and enforcement to
RCO. Sponsors shall use this document when an easement or lease is being acquired for habitat conservation or salmon
recovery purposes. The Assignment of Rights requires the signature of the underlying landowner and must be incorporated
by reference in the easement document.
3. Easements and Leases. The sponsor may incorporate required language from the Deed of Right or Assignment of Rights
directly into the easement or lease document, thereby eliminating the requirement for a separate document. Language will
depend on the situation; sponsor must obtain RCO approval on the draft language prior to executing the easement or lease.

SECTION 45. GOVERNING LAWNENUE
This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. In the event of a lawsuit
involving this Agreement, venue shall be in Thurston County Superior Court if legally proper; otherwise venue shall be in a county

SECTION 46. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE ONLY IF FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED INDIAN TRIBE IS THE SPONSOR
In the cases where this Agreement is between the funding board (State) and a federally recognized Indian Tribe, the following
goveming law/venue applies, but only between those parties:
A Notwithstanding the above venue provision, if the State of Washington intends to initiate a lawsuit against a federally recognized
Indian tribe relating to the performance, breach or enforcement of this Agreement, it shall so notify the Tribe. If the Tribe believes
that a good faith basis exists for subject matter jurisdiction of such a lawsuit in federal court, the Tribe shall so notify the State
within five days of receipt of such notice and state the basis for such jurisdiction. If the Tribe so notifies the State, the State shall
bring such lawsuit in federal court; otherwise the State may sue the Tribe in the Thurston County Superior Court. Interpretation of
the Agreement shall be according to applicable State law, except to the extent preempted by federal law. In the event suit is
brought in federal court and the federal court determines that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction to resolve the dispute between
the State and Tribal Party, then the parties agree to venue in Thurston County Superior Court.
B. Any judicial award, determination, order, decree or other relief, whether in law or equity or otherwise, resulting from a lawsuit
arising out of this agreement, including any third party claims relating to any work performed under this agreement, shall be
binding and enforceable on the parties. Any money judgment or award against a tribe, tribal officers and members, or the State
of Washington and its officers and employees may exceed the amount provided for in Section F - Project Funding of the
Agreement in order to satisfy the judgment.
C. The Tribe hereby waives its sovereign immunity for suit in federal and state court for the limited purpose of allowing the State to
bring such actions as it determines necessary to give effect to this section and to the enforcement of any judgment relating to the
performance, or breach of this Agreement. This waiver is not for the benefit of any third party and shall not be enforceable by any
third party or by any assignee of the parties. In any enforcement action, the parties shall bear their own enforcement costs,
including attomeys' fees.
For purposes of this provision, the State incudes the RCO and any other state agencies that may be assigned or otherwise obtain the
right of the RCO to enforce this Agreement.
