The foregoing description of the purchase and sale agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase and sale agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.49 to 10.52 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference. The purchase and sale agreements are subject to closing conditions and other terms and conditions customary for real estate transactions. The purchase and sale agreements contain representations and warranties the parties thereto made to and solely for the benefit of each other, and such representations and warranties should not be relied upon by any other person.





The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for the purposes of the purchase and sale agreements and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by and between the WRIT and the other parties thereto in connection with negotiating the purchase and sale agreements. Accordingly, security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties as accurate or complete or characterizations of the actual state of facts as of any specified date because such representations and warranties are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules, are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to security holders and were used only for the purposes of conducting certain limited due diligence inquiries and allocating risks and not for establishing all material facts with respect to the matters addressed.

This information is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K.
