TO: Honorable Mayor Carroll and Town Council Members
CC: Patty McKenny , Acting Town Manager; Larry Brooks, Advisor
FROM: Eric Heil, Town Attorney
RE: CARADA
DATE: August 25, 2012
Summary: This memorandum provides an update and overview of the ancillary documents related
to the implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet and implementation of the Consolidated
and Restated Annexation and Development Agreement (“CARADA”), including exhibits.
EXHIBITS TO CARADA:
1. Exhibit A: Legal Description of Property. The existing legal description of the property
would be used and there is no proposed change to the legal description.
2. Exhibits B: Form of Special Warranty Deed for Conveyance of Planning Area B and
Planning Area E to Town. This form has not yet been prepared. The Town has received a
title insurance commitment and has reviewed exceptions. A form of a Roadway Easement
Agreement to gain access to Planning Area B is attached along with proposed revisions.
3. Exhibit C: Form of Planning Area I Relocatable Roadway Access Easement. This exhibit and
term is still under negotiation between the Town and Developer.
4. Exhibit D: Prioritized Capital Projects. This exhibit is attached. Traer Creek Metropolitan
District has stated that they cannot fund the shallow utilities. Further discussion is
required on this topic to refine this exhibit.
5. Exhibit E: Schedule of Past Developer Advances. This document has not been finalized.
Town understands that the Developer and Traer Creek Metropolitan District are
continuing to negotiate matters related to adjustment of the final numbers.
6. Exhibit F: Form of Public Improvements Agreement. A draft form of the Public
Improvements Agreement is attached. The Developer has not yet had an opportunity to
comment on this document.
CONVEYANCE OF TRAER CREEK METROPOLITAN DISTRICT ASSETS TO THE TOWN OF AVON:
The following documents would convey assets from TCMD to the Town:
7. Special Warranty Deed to Town and Bill of Sale. This deed will convey Tracts A, B and C,
VAA Filing No. 1; Tract D, VAA Filing No. 3; Tract A-1 and A-2, McGrady Acres (for the
energy dissipater and outlying tract). The developer intends to propose additional
reservations which reserve ownership of cable TV and shallow utilities.
8. Partial Assignment of Amended and Restated Conveyance of Roadways, Parkland and
Easements. This document is still subject to further review and revision to insure that the
maintenance obligations the Town is assuming do not increase for East Beaver Creek
Boulevard as currently exists in its temporary alignment.

CARADA: Exhibits and Ancillary Documents

9. Amendment to and Assignment of Nottingham Dam Easement Agreement. The Town has
requested revisions to the Nottingham Dam Easement to expand the easement purpose
and description to include all anticipated uses associated with the dam. The Developer
has not responded to this request. The current form of the easement does not reasonably
allow the Town to maintain and administer the dam as may be necessary depending upon
available financial resources and contemplated augmentation use.
10. Wet Well Easement Agreement and Bill of Sale. This is an easement which give the Town
access to a well and pump which pumps water from the Nottingham-Puder Ditch into the
raw water irrigation system. The Town has proposed to expand this access easement so
that it connects to Post Blvd such that Town can access the wet well area.
11. Water Dissipater Site Special Warranty Deed and Bill of Sale. This Special Warranty Deed
and Bill of Sale would convey Tract G, Filing 3, a water dissipater site to the Town.
OTHER DOCUMENTS:
12. Closing Escrow Agreement. The Closing Escrow Agreement sets forth the execution and
effectiveness of all related documents. All approvals shall not become effective until all
documents are executed and the bonds for the water storage tank and the TCMD reissue
bonds are reissued.
13. Amendments to Declarations and Covenants. A draft of the Second Amendment to the
Declarations and Covenants of the Village (at Avon) Commercial Areas is attached along
with a copy of the original Declarations and Covenants and the First Amendment. This
document must be updated for the revisions in definitions in the CARADA. Also, the
parties recently discussed enforcement mechanisms and whether the Town should be
expressly named as a party or beneficiary to this document in order for the Town to also
have the right to enforce this document.
14. Add-On Retail Sales Fee Collection Agreement. A draft of the Add-On Retail Sales Fee
Collection Agreement with my comments are attached.
15. Asphalt Overlay Escrow Agreement. This document has been drafted; however, additional
revisions are required to incorporate comments from FirstBank.
16. Water Rights Conveyance. Attached are forms of the Special Warranty Deeds conveying
water rights which have been revised by Jay Montgomery (Town’s Water Attorney) and
Glen Porzak (Water Authority’s attorney).
17. Water Storage Tank Pledge Agreement. Attached is the latest version of the Water
Storage Tank Pledge Agreement. Generally, this agreement is the pledge of revenues by
TCMD to the Water Authority to secure the repayment of the water storage tank bonds.
Town staff and I are working to include the latest versions of documents required to implement
the Settlement Term Sheet on the Town’s website.
Thanks, Eric

THIS ROADWAY EASEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Easement Agreement”) is made
and entered into as of this _____ day of _________________, 2012 (“Effective Date”), by and
between the TOWN OF AVON, a home rule municipal corporation of the State of Colorado
(together with its successors and assigns, “Grantor”); and TRAER CREEK-RP LLC, a

reference (“Planning Area B”), which property is designated as Planning Area B pursuant to
The Village (at Avon) PUD Master Plan, Formal Amendment Two (the “PUD Master Plan”),

Permitted Uses (as defined in Paragraph 1), including but not limited to the future construction,
operation and maintenance of the Facilities (as defined in Paragraph 1) in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the PUD Guide and the Development Agreement, and as set forth below.
1009777.5 2
Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantor and Grantee agree as follows:
1. Grant of Easement. Grantor hereby grants, bargains, sells and conveys to
Grantee, together with its engineers, contractors, employees and similar consultants to Grantee
and/or its assigns as may be necessary or desirable (collectively, “Permittees”), a perpetual, non-
exclusive, 20-foot fifty foot (50’) wide easement appurtenant to Planning Area B (the
“Easement”) over, under, through and across that portion of Lot 1 which is legally described and
depicted in Exhibit C (the “Easement Area”) for the purposes of (collectively, the “Permitted
Uses”): (i) vehicular and pedestrian ingress to and egress from Planning Area B;
(ii) constructing, installing, using, operating, maintaining, repairing and replacing drive lanes,
roadways, landscaping, sidewalks, bike paths, retaining walls and other access facilities
necessary or desirable for such ingress and egress, and all fixtures and devices reasonably used
or useful in the operation of such facilities (collectively, the “Roadway Facilities”);
(iii) constructing, installing, using, operating, maintaining, repairing and replacing water lines,
sanitary sewer lines, storm drainage facilities, electrical lines, gas lines and similar utilities and
utility facilities, excluding the Communications Utilities (defined below), together with all
sleeves, conduit, junction boxes, vaults, fixtures and devices reasonably used or useful in the
operation of such facilities, whether publicly or privately owned (collectively, the “Utility
Facilities,” and together with the Roadway Facilities, the “Facilities”); and (iv) the right to enter
upon the Easement Area and such immediately abutting areas of Lot 1 thereto as may reasonably
be necessary to survey and conduct geotechnical and similar physical investigations. As set forth
in Section 3.8(b) of the Development Agreement and in the PUD Guide, any construction of the
Facilities shall be subject to the prior written approval of the “Design Review Board” (as defined
in the PUD Guide). Nothing contained herein shall obligate Grantee to install, or cause to be
installed, any or all of the Facilities or to otherwise provide for any such use. For purposes of
this Easement Agreement, “Communications Utilities” shall mean, collectively, (a) cable
television cables, wires, lines, plugs, connections, junction boxes, access boxes, vaults, switches,
terminals and similar improvements; (b) telephone and communication cables, fiber-optic cables,
wires, lines, plugs, connections, junction boxes, access boxes, vaults, switches, terminals, jacks
and similar improvements; (c) data cables, fiber-optic cables, wires, lines, plugs, connections,
junction boxes, access boxes, vaults, switches, terminals, jacks and similar improvements; and
(d) utility conduit, pipe, sleeve, trough or similar enclosures for the purpose of holding, running
or containing the facilities described in clauses (a) through (c).
2. Relocation of Easement Area. In connection with future development of Lot 1,
including without limitation, the construction of permanent Main Street in the configuration as
generally contemplated by the PUD Master Plan or such other final alignment as shall be set
forth in the applicable public improvements agreement(s) between the Town and applicable
constructing party(ies) (“Future Main Street”), Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that future
design, engineering, construction and/or general development of Lot 1 and/or Future Main Street
may be inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder in the Easement Area, and that it may be
necessary or desirable that the Easement Area be adjusted, repositioned or otherwise relocated to
accommodate such future development of Lot 1 and/or Future Main Street. Accordingly, if
1009777.5 3
Grantor determines, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable that the Easement Area
be relocated for purposes of accommodating future development of Lot 1 and/or Future Main
Street, Grantor and Grantee agree (a) Grantor shall have the right to provide for an alternative
alignment and configuration or relocation of the Easement Area (the “Relocated Easement
Area”) and Grantee shall not unreasonably deny, condition or delay approval with respect to the
Relocated Easement Area; (b) Grantor and Grantee shall each execute an amendment to this
Easement Agreement substituting the surveyed legal description for the alignment and
configuration of the Relocated Easement Area as Exhibit C to this Easement Agreement; and
(c) Grantor shall cause the recordation of such amendment in the Records. Recordation of such
amendment in the Records shall have the legal effect of terminating the prior boundaries of the
Easement Area and establishing the boundaries of the Relocated Easement Area as the new
boundaries of the Easement Area for all purposes under this Easement Agreement. If, prior to
the recordation of such amendment, the Design Review Board previously has approved, and
Grantee previously has installed and/or constructed, Facilities within the Easement Area, Grantor
shall have the obligation, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, to relocate such Facilities to, or
install and/or construct such Facilities within, the Relocated Easement Area. [NOTE: STS states
that “TOA shall not unreasonably refuse reasonable requests by Developer to adjust or replat
Planning Areas B or C”. Town has proposed that this right should sunset when Planning Area B
and the surrounding area has been developed. Developer objects to any sunset of the
Developer’s right relocate this easement and amend the plat for Planning Area B.]
3. Entry; Site Investigation; Restoration. In conducting the Permitted Uses related to
design and construction of the Facilities, including but not limited to surveying, geotechnical
testing, other physical inspection and similar matters, if it is necessary or desirable for Grantee
and/or the Permittees to enter upon and/or cause disturbances to the surface of the abutting areas
of Lot 1, Grantee shall provide not less than five (5) business days’ written notice to Grantor of
any planned entrance upon and/or conduct of physical testing or inspection of the Easement Area
and/or abutting areas of Lot 1. Grantor shall coordinate with Grantee regarding the scope, nature
and duration of such activities, but shall not unreasonably object to or interfere with Grantee’s
and/or Permittees’ conduct of such activities. To the extent such activities disturb vegetation on
the surface or otherwise disturb any improvements upon or within the Easement Area or abutting
areas of Lot 1, Grantee shall promptly cause revegetation and/or otherwise cause restoration of
the affected area and improvements to a condition materially consistent with their condition prior
to Grantee’s and/or Permittees’ conduct of such activities. Upon completion of any construction
activities within the Easement Area, Grantee shall promptly cause revegetation and/or restoration
of any areas of Lot 1 located outside of the Easement Area that have been disturbed by the
construction activities, including without limitation, restoration or repair to damaged
improvements.
4. Grantor’s Reserved Rights. Grantor reserves the right to grant additional
non-exclusive easements and/or other interests within the Easement Area and Lot 1 so long as
such interests do not adversely affect, increase the cost of, or otherwise interfere with Grantee’s
or Permittees’ full exercise of the Permitted Uses. Grantor reserves the right to use and occupy
Lot 1 and the Easement Area for any and all purposes not inconsistent with the rights and
privileges granted herein. [NOTE: The reservation of Grantor to occupy the Roadway Easement
Access creates potential for conflict between future surface uses of this access easement by the
Town and by Grantor.]
1009777.5 4
5. Title Matters; No Warranties. This Easement Agreement is subject to all prior
easements, restrictions, reservations, rights-of-way, encumbrances and similar matters of record
as of the Effective Date. Grantor makes no representations or warranties regarding the status of
title to Lot 1 or the Easement Area as of the Effective Date, and the grant of easements and other
rights pursuant to this Easement Agreement is in the nature of a bargain and sale conveyance.
6. Covenants. Each and every benefit and burden of this Easement Agreement shall
inure to and be binding upon Grantor, Grantee and their respective successors and assigns. The
burdens and benefits hereof shall run with title to the Easement Area and Planning Area B. Any
person or entity that acquires any interest in the Easement Area, and any person or entity that
acquires any interest in Planning Area B, shall be bound by the burdens and entitled to the
benefits of this Easement Agreement. The burdens and benefits of this Easement Agreement
constitute covenants that run with and encumber title to the Easement Area and Planning Area B.
7. Severability. Any provision of this Easement Agreement which is declared by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability,
without invalidating or otherwise affecting the remaining provisions of this Easement
Agreement, each of which shall continue in full force and effect, unless modified by mutual
consent of the parties, for so long as their enforcement would not be inequitable to the party
against whom they are being enforced under the facts and circumstance then pertaining.
8. Captions. The titles, headings and captions used in this Easement Agreement are
intended solely for convenience of reference and shall not be considered in construing any of the
provisions of this Easement Agreement.
9. Modification. This Easement Agreement may not be modified, amended or
terminated, except by an agreement in writing executed by Grantor and Grantee.
10. Governing Law. The terms and provisions of this Easement Agreement shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado.
11. Counterparts. This Easement Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Improvements. Commencement of construction of Public Improvements shall
be deemed to mean the award and execution of contracts for the construction
of the Public Improvements as depicted on Exhibit A: Approved Plans.
(c) Inspection Procedures. All Work shall be done under the inspection
procedures and standards established by the Town and Holy Cross Energy,
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Excel Energy, Qwest
Communications, Comcast or any other utility (“Utilities”), as applicable and
shall be subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Town and applicable
Utilities. All Work shall not be deemed complete until the reasonable
approval and acceptance of the Public Improvements by the Town and/or the
Utilities. Such inspections by the Town and Utilities shall not relieve the
Owner or Owner’s agents from any responsibility or obligation to assure that
all Work is completed in conformance with all standards, plans and
specifications as submitted to and previously approved by the Town and
Utilities.
(d) Cost of Inspections. The cost, if any, of such inspections, by Town
employees, or an independent third party inspector, shall be paid by the
Owner and subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 5 below.
(e) Notice of Non-Compliance. In the event that the Town through its inspectors
reasonably determines that the Public Improvements are not in compliance
with the Approved Plans, it shall give written notice of such non-compliance
(“Notice of Non-Compliance”) to the Owner. The Notice of Non-
Compliance shall include a narrative describing the unsatisfactory
construction work with specific reference to the applicable construction plans
and specifications. The Notice of Non-Compliance must be provided to the
Owner within three (3) working days of the date of the inspection.
2. Guarantee for Public Improvements.
(a) Form of Guarantee. The Owner shall provided financial security to the
Town to secure the completion of the Public Improvements in this Agreement
in accordance with the acceptable methods of providing a guarantee set forth
in Section 7.32.100(e)(1) of the Municipal Code (“Guarantee”). The form of
Guarantee is attached hereto as Exhibit C: Form of Guarantee.
(b) Amount of Guarantee for Completion of Public Improvements. Owner
shall deliver to the Town a Guarantee in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the amount of the cost estimate for the Public Improvement

Page 3 of 10
as approved by the Town Engineer plus a percentage of the estimated costs as
an overrun allowance as set forth in Section 7.32.100(d) of the Municipal
Code.
(c) Partial Release of Guarantee. The amount of Guarantee may be reduced
periodically upon completion of itemized Public Improvements for which cost
estimates have been set forth in Exhibit B: Cost Estimates and upon receipt
of the Certifications as specified in Paragraph 9 below verifying that itemized
portions of the Public Improvements have been completed provided that
Owner is not in default under this Agreement and provided that the remaining
amount of Guarantee shall be at least one hundred and ten percent (110%) of
the estimated costs of completion of all remaining Public Improvements. The
Town shall release the remaining Guarantee amount less the amount described
in Paragraph 3 below for security during the warranty period within five (5)
business days of (i) completion of all Work related to the Public
Improvements and (ii) acceptance by the Town and Utilities of the Public
Improvements, provided that the Owner is not in default under this
Agreement.
(d) Default by Owner. In the event of a default in whole or in part by Owner in
the performance of this Agreement, the Town shall be authorized to draw on
the Guarantee for the purpose of undertaking completion or remediation work
on the Public Improvements or otherwise curing Owner’s default hereunder
after providing thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of default and
providing an opportunity during such period for Owner to cure the default.
The Town shall be entitled to draw on the Guarantee after adoption of a
resolution of the Town Council stating (i) that Owner is in default and
describing the nature of the default, and (ii) that funds are required to
complete or correct the Work on the Public Improvements or to otherwise
cure Owner’s default.
3. Warranty Period. The Public Improvements shall be warranted to be free from
defects in workmanship or quality for a period of two (2) years after acceptance of all
the Work by the Town. In the event of any such defect, the Town may require Owner
to correct the defect in material or workmanship. The Town shall retain a portion of
the Guarantee as a financial security during the warranty period. The amount of the
Guarantee during the warranty period shall be a percentage of the total actual cost of
completion of Public Improvements in the amount set forth in Section 7.32.100(i) of
the Municipal Code. In the event any corrective work is performed during the two
(2) year warranty period then the warranty on such corrected work shall be extended
for two (2) years from the date on which the corrected work is completed. Guarantee
equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the cost of any corrected work, as
estimated by the Town Engineer, shall be retained by the Town or immediately paid
to the Town by the Owner, if sufficient funds are not held by the Town, in accordance
FORM OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT
DRAFT – Aug. 19, 2012 Heil
Page 4 of 10
with Section 7.32.100(i), for a period of two (2) years from the date of completion of
the corrected work.
4. Engineering Certification. Upon completion of portions of the Public
Improvements, Owner will cause Owner’s engineers (who shall have been actively
engaged in observing the construction of the Public Improvements and shall be
registered engineers in the State of Colorado) to provide a written opinion, to the
satisfaction of the Town Engineer, that based upon on-site observation, review of
sufficient construction-observation reports, field test reports and material test reports
and certifications by qualified personnel, the installation of the Public Improvements,
or portions thereof as may be completed from time to time, have been completed, to
the best of their knowledge and professional judgment, in conformance with all
standards, plans and specifications as submitted to and previously approved by the
Town, or the pertinent utility supplier, as depicted on the Approved Plans. Inspection
reports, test results, as-constructed plans and other supporting documentation shall be
submitted with the certification. The as-constructed plans shall be submitted on
paper and in one of the following digital formats: AutoCad DWG, AutoCad DXF, or
ESRI GIS shapefile.
5. Inspection Fees. Fees for inspections, if any, shall be paid by the Owner within
thirty (30) days after delivery of written invoice for such fees to cover the cost of
inspections by the Town. The fees, if any, will be based on direct (out-of-pocket)
costs of the Town plus an administrative fee in the amount of fifteen (15%) percent of
the direct costs, but in no event will the total amount of such inspection fees exceed
five percent (5%) of the actual costs for Public Improvements.
6. No Obligation of Town to Complete Improvements. Owner agrees that in the
event Owner shall fail to perform its obligations as set forth herein, the Town shall be
under no obligation to complete any of the said Public Improvements or to issue
permits for development served by the Public Improvements.
7. Non-Liability of Town; Indemnification. The Town shall not, nor shall any officer,
agent, or employee thereof, be liable or responsible for any accident, loss or damage
related to the Work specified in this Agreement, nor shall the Town, nor any officer,
agent or employee thereof, be liable for any persons or property injured by reason of
the nature of said Work. To the extent permitted by law, Owner hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Town, and any of its officers, agents and employees
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Town or any of its
officers, agents or employees may become subject, because of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that arise out of, or are based
upon, any acts or omissions in the performance of the obligations of Owner, as
hereinbefore stated. Furthermore, the Owner shall reimburse the Town for any and
all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Town in connection with

8. Rights of Town in Event of Default. In the event that Owner defaults in whole or in
part in the performance of this Agreement, and after the expiration of thirty (30) days
after having given written notice to Owner of such default during which period of
time the Owner fails to correct said default, the Town may, at its sole discretion,
proceed with the construction or completion of the Public Improvements specified on
Exhibit A: Approved Plans. All costs paid by the Town to correct or complete the
Public Improvements, including cost of personnel, equipment, materials, studies,
legal and other amounts expended by the Town to perform the Public Improvement
construction responsibilities of Owner, together with an administrative fee in the
amount of fifteen percent (15%) of the total costs incurred by Town shall be paid by
Owner. Any such costs relating to the Public Improvements, which have not been
reimbursed by Owner, shall be a debt of Owner. In addition to other remedies stated
in this Agreement, if the Owner is in default of this Agreement, the Town may
withhold the acceptance or processing of development applications and may withhold
the approval of development permits for or on any property which would be served
by the Public Improvements until such time as the Public Improvements are
completed.
9. Letter Certifying Completion and Final Acceptance of Improvements. When all
Public Improvements have been completed and accepted by the Town, or the
pertinent utility supplier, and the Warranty Period has expired and provided that
Owner is not in default under any of its obligations to the Town under this
Agreement, the Town agrees that it will issue a letter, after consultation with the
pertinent utility supplier if necessary, in recordable form, certifying that all
obligations of Owner under this Agreement have been satisfied.
10. Non-Liability of Town for Indirect or Consequential Damages or Lost Profits.
The Parties agree that the Town shall not be liable for indirect or consequential
damages, including lost profits, which result or arise from the Town’s declaration that
Owner is in default of the Agreement, so long as the Town acts in good faith.
11. Incorporation of Exhibits. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, exhibits,
applications, or documents referenced in this Agreement shall be incorporated in this
Agreement for all purposes. In the event of a conflict between any incorporated
exhibit and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and

written assignment shall expressly refer to this Agreement, specify the particular
rights, duties, obligations, responsibilities, or benefits so assigned, and shall not be
effective unless approved by resolution or motion of the Town Council of the Town.
No assignment shall release the Owner from performance of any duty, obligation, or

relief for, any third party, including any agent, sub-consultant or sub-contractor of the

, 2012, by and between TRAER CREEK-RP LLC, a Colorado limited liability
company, whose address is P.O. Box 640, Vail, CO 81658 (the “Grantor”) and the TOWN OF
AVON, a home rule municipal corporation of the State of Colorado, whose address is One Lake
Street, P.O. Box 975, Avon, Colorado 81620 (the “Grantee”).
1. Grant.
FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good
and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the
Grantor, the Grantor hereby grants, bargains, sells, and conveys to Grantee and its successors and
assigns a perpetual non-exclusive easement (the “Easement”), in, to, through, over, under and
across that certain parcel of real property located in Eagle County, Colorado, as more particularly
described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the
“Premises”) for (i) vehicular and pedestrian ingress and egress and (ii) to construct, reconstruct,
operate, use, maintain, repair, replace and/or remove certain water lines and mains, manholes,
conduits, ventilators, access doors, cables, landscaping improvements, wells, well casings, tanks,
motors, pumps, electrical facilities and apparatus, meters, and related improvements and
appurtenances thereto (collectively, the “Improvements”) in, to, through, over, under and across
the Premises, subject and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2. Limitations on Use.
The Grantor shall not construct or place any structure or building, fencing, streetlight,
power pole, yard light, mailbox or sign, whether temporary or permanent, or plant or locate any
landscaping features, trees or shrubs, on any part of the Premises without having first obtained
the prior written consent of the Grantee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if
Grantor's proposed improvements will not interfere with the Improvements or the Grantee's use
of the Easement granted hereby. Any structure or building, fencing, streetlight, power pole, yard
light, mailbox or sign, whether temporary or permanent, or any landscaping features, trees or
shrubs situated on the Premises as of the date of this Agreement or subsequently placed thereon
without such prior written consent may be removed by the Grantee without liability for damages
arising therefrom. Additionally, if the Grantor violates these restrictions or if Grantor's actions
cause damage to Grantee's Improvements, the Grantor will be liable for the cost to correct such
violation or damage.
3. Access.
The Grantee, its agents, contractors, successors and assigns, shall have the right of
perpetual ingress and egress in, to, through, over, under, and across the Premises for any purpose
necessary and at any and all times necessary or convenient for the full enjoyment of the rights
granted to it in this Agreement.
{00035844.DOC v:3 } 2
4. Restoration; Surface Impact.
Upon completion of any of its activities which disturb the surface of the Premises, the
Grantee shall restore the Premises to the condition it was in immediately prior to such
disturbance, except as otherwise provided herein or as necessarily modified to accommodate the
Improvements. Grantor expressly acknowledges that certain of the Improvements, including but
not limited to vent pipe(s) and access door(s) may, from time to time, be on or above the surface
of the Premises.
5. Maintenance.
Grantee shall maintain the Improvements at its sole cost and expense.
6. Insurance; Indemnity.
(a) Insurance. The Grantee shall require that all of its contractors entering
upon the Premises obtain and maintain in effect for the duration of their respective periods of
work (i) workers’ compensation insurance with statutory limits, and (ii) public liability insurance
with commercially reasonable limits as may be required by Grantee from time to time as part of
its capital construction and maintenance program.
(b) Indemnity. To the extent permitted by law, the Grantee agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold the Grantor harmless from and against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees arising from Grantee’s negligent
construction, operation or maintenance of the Improvements or the negligent use of the Premises
by Grantee, its successors and assigns.
7. Termination of Easements.
If Grantor believes the Easement has been abandoned by Grantee or that the Easement is
not being used as described in Section 1 above, Grantor shall give written notice to Grantee. If
Grantee agrees with Grantor, Grantee shall promptly execute all documents necessary to
reconvey the Easement to Grantor. However, if Grantee disagrees with Grantor's assertion that
the Easement is no longer being used for its intended purpose, Grantee shall give Grantor written
notice within forty-five (45) days of the Grantee's receipt of Grantor's notice stating that Grantee
requires arbitration of the dispute. The dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration before any
retired Colorado Supreme Court Justice or Colorado Court of Appeals Judge employed by JAG.
The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the Colorado Rules of Civil
Procedure then in effect. Each party to the dispute shall deliver to the other party, within ten (10)
days of the Grantee's demand for arbitration, a complete, concise statement of issues to be
arbitrated. Grantor and Grantee shall select a single JAG arbitrator in accordance with the
applicable rules of JAG. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted at JAG in Denver,
Colorado, and shall continue in the absence of any party who, after notice given pursuant to this
Section, fails to participate in the proceedings. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and
binding upon the parties to this Agreement whether such party(ies) participate in the proceedings
or not, and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
{00035844.DOC v:3 } 3
8. No Dedication.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a dedication to the general
public, or to any other person or entity of the fee interest of the property underlying any
easement interest hereby granted and conveyed, it being the intent of the parties that Grantor's
fee interest in the Premises shall continue to be private unless and until Grantor, at its sole option
and election, completes the dedication of such interest to an eligible governmental or quasi-
governmental entity or other third party, in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations
and ordinances.
9. Notices.

binding upon the parties and their respective legal representatives, heirs, administrators,
successors and assigns. The rights and responsibilities set forth in this Agreement are intended
to be covenants on the Premises and are to run with the land.
{00035844.DOC v:3 } 5
15. Attorneys' Fees.

and control over any conflicting provisions of this Agreement. Grantor has advised Grantee that
future development of the real property within which the Premises is located may necessitate the
relocation of the Improvements or portions thereof to other real property owned by Grantor.
Grantee shall reasonably cooperate with respect to any necessary relocation, provided that
(i) Grantor shall give Grantee written notice of such proposed relocation not less than ninety (90)
days before any such relocation is to occur, (ii) the relocation site(s) must be reasonably
acceptable to the Grantee and shall, at a minimum, reasonably accommodate the integration of

agreement wherein the easement premises is the relocation site, with such amended or
replacement easement agreement and the title burdens to the relocation site being reasonably
acceptable to the Grantee and its legal counsel. The parties agree that the costs for such
relocation shall be reasonably negotiated at the time of relocation. In the event of any such
relocation, the Grantee agrees to execute and deliver to the Grantor an instrument in recordable
form evidencing the termination of the Easement as to the portion of the Premises no longer
necessary to accommodate the Improvements.

6. Escrow Agent’s Disposition of the Settlement Implementation Documents;

obligations of Escrow Agent upon the occurrence of the Implementation Date or upon the
occurrence of the Outside Date. In accordance with the instructions set forth in the Document
Disposition Instructions, Escrow Agent shall Record and/or otherwise disburse the Settlement
Implementation Documents as follows:
(a) Required Actions Upon Occurrence of the Implementation Date:
(i) Not later than [ten (10)] business days prior to the anticipated
Implementation Date, the Authorized Representatives of TCMD, BNP and the Authority
1015310.2 6
shall execute an Implementation Notice (using the form attached as Exhibit D) and shall
give Notice to Escrow Agent and to each of the other Parties by causing delivery of a
copy of the Implementation Notice to be made in accordance with Section 18.
(ii) At any time after delivery of an Implementation Notice but prior to
the occurrence of the Implementation Date as designated in the previously delivered
Implementation Notice, TCMD, BNP and the Authority may extend the Implementation
Date up to a maximum of thirty (30) days by delivery of a revised Implementation Notice
in the manner described in clause (i) above provided that any such extension of the
Implementation Date shall not exceed the Outside Date.
(iii) Promptly upon receipt of an Implementation Notice, Escrow Agent
shall review the Escrow and the most current Document Receipt List to confirm that all
Settlement Implementation Documents listed in the Document Receipt List are in
Escrow, to determine whether Escrow Agent is otherwise prepared (or will be prepared)
to Close Escrow on the Implementation Date stated in the Implementation Notice and,
not later than [five (5)] business days after receipt of the Implementation Notice:
(A) if all documents listed in the Document Receipt List are in
Escrow and Escrow Agent otherwise will be in a position to Close Escrow on the
Implementation Date stated in the Implementation Notice, shall provide Notice
thereof by delivery to each Party of a copy of the current Document Receipt List,
together with a letter stating that each document or instrument listed therein is in
Escrow and Escrow Agent is prepared to Close Escrow upon receipt of the Bond
Closing Notice on the anticipated Implementation Date set forth in the
Implementation Notice, in which case TCMD, BNP and the Authority shall be
entitled to proceed to consummate the Bond Closings transactions on the
anticipated Implementation Date set forth in the Implementation Notice in
reliance upon Escrow Agent’s representation; or
(B) if not all documents listed in the Document Receipt List are
in Escrow and/or Escrow Agent otherwise will not be in a position to Close
Escrow on the Implementation Date stated in the Implementation Notice, shall
provide Notice of such deficiency by delivery to each Party of a copy of the
current Document Receipt List, together with a letter identifying which of the
documents or instruments listed therein have not been deposited in Escrow and/or
the reasons, if any, Escrow Agent otherwise will not be in a position to Close
Escrow on the Implementation Date stated in the Implementation Notice and,
therefore, Escrow Agent is not prepared to Close Escrow on the Implementation
Date set forth in the Implementation Notice, in which case Escrow Agent shall
nonetheless prepare to Close Escrow on the Implementation Date stated in the
Implementation Notice (or in any subsequent Implementation Notice) subject to
receipt of the items constituting the deficiency as set forth in Escrow Agent’s
deficiency Notice.
(C) Upon receipt of a deficiency Notice pursuant to clause (B)
above, TCMD, BNP, the Authority, the other Parties and Escrow Agent shall
1015310.2 7
promptly cooperate in good faith, employing their respective best efforts, to cure
the deficiency(ies) stated in Escrow Agent’s deficiency Notice, and to deliver an
updated Implementation Notice designating the same Implementation Date as the
prior Implementation Notice or any later date mutually agreed to among TCMD,
BNP, the Authority and Escrow Agent.
(iv) Upon receipt of the Bond Closing Notice, and provided any
deficiency Notice provided pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii)(B) has been remedied in
accordance with Section 6(a)(iii)(C), Escrow Agent shall promptly commence all actions
required in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement to Close
Escrow on the Implementation Date and to complete such actions on or as quickly
following the Implementation Date as may be feasible exercising commercially
reasonable diligence. Such actions shall include, but shall not be limited to, in
accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the Document Disposition Instructions
with respect to Escrow Agent’s actions upon the occurrence of the Implementation Date:
(A) causing the Recordable Instruments to be Recorded in the required sequence as set
forth in the Document Disposition Instructions and with the requisite Recording
information, dates and other information filled in; and (B) causing the Deliverable
Instruments to be delivered with the requisite Recording information, dates and other
information filled in. [Need to determine whether Title Commitments are
“Deliverable Instruments” or are handled separately in definitions and otherwise.]
(b) Required Actions Upon Occurrence of the Outside Date:
(i) Not earlier than [ten (10)] business days nor later than [five (5)]
business days prior to the occurrence of the Outside Date (as extended, if applicable), and
assuming the Implementation Date has not previously occurred, the Authorized
Representatives of TCMD, BNP and the Authority shall execute a Termination Notice
(using the form attached as Exhibit E) and shall give Notice thereof to Escrow Agent and
to each of the other Parties by causing delivery of a copy of the Termination Notice to be
made in accordance with Section 18.
(ii) Upon receipt of a properly executed Termination Notice, Escrow
Agent shall prepare the Settlement Documents that have been deposited into Escrow for
distribution to the Parties, without Recording or formal delivery to any counterparty, in
accordance with the instructions set forth in the Document Disposition Instructions
regarding Escrow Agent’s required actions upon the occurrence of the Outside Date.
Provided Escrow Agent has not received an Outside Date Extension Notice pursuant to
Section 6(c), Escrow Agent shall disburse the Settlement Implementation Documents on
the Outside Date to the Parties and in the manner set forth in the Document Disposition
Instructions.
(iii) The Parties intend the effect of Escrow Agent’s distribution of the
Settlement Documents pursuant to a properly delivered Termination Notice in accordance
with clause (ii) above to be that such documents and instruments shall be construed for
all purposes to be void ab initio and of no legal effect.
1015310.2 8
(c) Extension of Outside Date:
(i) At any time and from time to time prior to occurrence of the
then-current Outside Date, the Outside Date may be extended by delivery of a fully
completed, executed and dated Outside Date Extension Notice in the form attached as
Exhibit E.
(ii) In order to be effective and binding on the Parties and Escrow
Agent, any Outside Date Extension Notice must be signed by an Authorized
Representative of not less than three (3) of the following Parties, which Parties each of
the other Parties hereby irrevocably designates to be authorized on behalf of all Parties to
determine whether, when and to what date to extend the Outside Date: (A) BNP;
(B) TCMD; (C) the Authority; (D) the Town; or (E) Master Developer.
(iii) Any such Outside Date Extension Notice shall be delivered to each
non-signing Party and to Escrow Agent in compliance with the Notice requirements set
forth in Section 18.
7. Title Commitments; Title Policies. In addition to Escrow Agent’s obligations
with respect to the Escrow, Escrow Agent also is acting in the capacity of Title Company in
connection with certain transactions and conveyances to be accomplished in connection with the
recording of certain of the Recordable Instruments and with respect to which Title Company has
issued the following title commitments (collectively, the “Commitments”): [Note: Foregoing
definitions are not incorporated into Defined Terms exhibit. Deeds (and certain other Title
Documents such as Deed of Trust releases) go into Escrow and become Recordable
Instruments. Other requirements from Sch A are Title Documents may or not be in
Escrow and may or not be Recordable Instruments or Deliverable Instruments. In order
to Close Escrow, Title Company will need to be in a position to issue binding commitments
to issue title policies. This section will require further consideration, discussion and
revision to account for timing issues and properly account for which documents must be
incorporated into Exhibits A – C, etc.] [The Special Warranty Deeds for parcels and tracts to
be conveyed Town should include reference to the title exceptions to the extent approved by the
Town as part of the CARADA and then the Town would expect that there would be no additions
to the accepted title exceptions or any additional encumbrances on the properties to be conveyed
between the Effective Date and Implementation Date]
(a) File Number ___________________, revision ____, dated
_______________, 2012 (the “PA-B Commitment”) relating to the property described therein (
“PA-B”),
(b) File Number __________________, revision ____, dated
_______________, 2012 (the “PA-E Commitment”) relating to the property described therein (
“PA-E”), and
(c) File Number _______________________, revision ____, dated
_______________, 2012 (the “Tank Site Easement Commitment”) relating to the property
1015310.2 9
described therein (the “Tank Site”). [Note: Will need to conform if changed to fee
conveyance. Add commitment for relocatable easement?]
[Note: Provision below may need to be added to Section 6(a)(iii)]
Escrow Agent, in its capacity as a Title Company, is immediately upon its receipt of the
Implementation Notice (or will be not later than the Implementation Date stated therein)
unconditionally and irrevocably committed to issue to the insured parties described in each of the
Proforma Title Insurance Policies that are listed on Exhibit G hereto, the title insurance policies
(the “Policies”) that are identical to the Proforma Policies [placeholder for gap insurance, if
necessary].
8. Escrow Fees and Closing Costs. [Placeholder to address how and when
Escrow Agent fees and, if any, title insurance premiums and charges, documentary fees,
release fees, recording fees and any other cost associated with closing will be paid, such fees
referred to as the “Escrow Fees” and “Closing Costs.”]
9. Reliance; Standard of Care. Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing
or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, reasonably believes to be genuine, may assume
the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such writing or instrument,
and may assume that any Authorized Representative purporting to give any writing, Notice,
advice or instructions on behalf of the applicable Party in connection with the provisions hereof
has been duly authorized by such Party to do so. In performing any of its duties hereunder,
Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to any Party or to any third party for any damages,
losses or expenses, except to the extent arising from, directly or indirectly, Escrow Agent’s
willful or negligent default under this Escrow Agreement.
10. Escrow Agent Actions in Event of Dispute Among Parties; Interpleader.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Escrow Agreement to the contrary,
if Escrow Agent reasonably determines that the Parties are in disagreement about the
interpretation of this Escrow Agreement or about the rights and obligations of the other Parties
hereto, or the propriety of any action contemplated by Escrow Agent hereunder, Escrow Agent
shall deliver Notice to each Party, with a description of the disagreement, and if the disagreement
is not resolved within three (3) business days after delivery of the Notice, Escrow Agent shall
have the right, but not the obligation to: (i) suspend all or any part of its activities under this
Escrow Agreement until Escrow Agent receives Notice by delivery of joint written instructions
from all of the affected Parties that the disagreement has been resolved among the Parties; or
(ii) file an action pursuant to Section 10(b).
(b) If Escrow Agent and its legal counsel, in good faith, are uncertain as to
Escrow Agent’s obligations under this Escrow Agreement and/or Escrow Agent receives
conflicting direction from the Parties and/or if there is a dispute among the Parties that is not
resolved pursuant to clause (a) above, and if Escrow Agent is unable to obtain the Parties’
written agreement resolving such matters, Escrow Agent may bring a declaratory or interpleader
action, naming the Parties as respondents or defendants, in order to resolve such uncertainty.
1015310.2 10
11. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If any Party brings an action against any other
Party(ies) to determine the respective rights and obligations of the Parties under this Escrow
Agreement, the Party or Parties prevailing in such action shall be awarded its or their costs of
such action and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action. If Escrow
Agent files an action pursuant to Section 10(b), the Parties shall pay Escrow Agent’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs, the amounts of which and relative allocation of payment responsibility
among the Parties shall be fixed in the judgment to be rendered by the court in such suit.
12. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Parties shall jointly and
severally indemnify Escrow Agent, its officers and directors, and hold them harmless from and
against any and all damages, costs, claims, liabilities, losses, expenses, fees or other charges of
any character or nature which Escrow Agent may incur or with which it may be threatened by
reason of its performance of its obligations under this Escrow Agreement, except to the extent
arising from, directly or indirectly, Escrow Agent’s willful or negligent default under this
Escrow Agreement.
13. Agency Not Revocable. This Escrow Agreement and the agency created in
Escrow Agent hereby are coupled with an interest of each of the respective Parties hereto and
shall be binding upon and enforceable against the respective successors, legal representatives and
assigns of each Party. Except upon a termination pursuant to Section 2, This Escrow Agreement
and Escrow Agent’s agency authority granted herein are irrevocable.
14. Entire Agreement. This Escrow Agreement contains the entire contract,
understanding, and agreement by and among the Parties and Escrow Agent with respect to the
subject matter hereof; provided, however, as between the Parties, this Escrow Agreement shall
not be construed or interpreted to modify or negate any right or obligation of the Parties pursuant
to the any Settlement Document.
15. Amendment of Escrow Agreement and Exhibits.
(a) This Escrow Agreement supersedes all prior instructions to Escrow Agent,
written and oral. This Escrow Agreement (excluding the Exhibits hereto, amendment of which is
addressed in clause (b) below) may be amended only by a writing signed by all Parties and
Escrow Agent. All Settlement Implementation Documents shall be deemed submitted
irrevocably by the Parties upon tender to Escrow Agent for deposit into Escrow and shall be
released from Escrow only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Escrow
Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Escrow Agent is
obligated and authorized from time to time to update the Document Receipt List in accordance
with Section 5(c), such amendments to the Document Receipt List to be effective upon Escrow
Agent’s delivery to the Parties in accordance with Section 5(c). Amendments or updates to the
Document Deposit List, the Document Disposition Instructions, or any other Exhibit not
specifically addressed in this clause (b) also may be made in the manner stated in Section 5(c);
provided, however, that any proposed amendment or update must be signed by all Parties. No
amendment or update to an Exhibit pursuant to this clause (b) shall require an amendment to the
body of this Escrow Agreement.
1015310.2 11
16. State Law; Venue. This Escrow Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflicts of laws statutes.
Venue for any action filed with respect to this Escrow Agreement shall be in the Eagle County

expiration of a right, or date to provide a notice falls upon a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday
observed in the State of Colorado as set forth in C.R.S. §24-11-101, then the next business day
which is not a Saturday, Sunday or such legal holiday shall be deemed the last day. [This is
language used in other agreements]. If the final date of performance by any Party or by Escrow
Agent of any condition or obligation hereunder falls upon a non-business day (i.e., Saturday,
Sunday, national holiday or local holiday recognized by major Colorado banks), the final date for
performance of such condition or obligation shall be extended automatically and without Notice
until the next succeeding business day. For the purposes of calculating business days under any
provision of this Escrow Agreement, intervening non-business days shall not be counted.
18. Notices.
(a) All Notices and communications required or permitted under this Escrow
Agreement shall be in writing to the Parties’ and Escrow Agent’s respective addresses set forth
in Exhibit F and shall be served by: (i) depositing the same in the United States mail, postage
prepaid and certified, with return receipt requested; (ii) delivering the same in person;
(iii) delivering same by confirmed facsimile or email (with the original sent within 24 hours by

authorize any action and to make or receive any Notice, communication, and delivery of
documents relative to the Settlement Implementation Documents, the transactions contemplated
thereunder and this Escrow Agreement.
(d) Any Party or Escrow Agent may change its Notice address or designate
additional or replacement Authorized Representative(s) by providing Notice thereof to each
other Party and Escrow Agent in the form of an updated version of Exhibit F.
19. Counterparts. This Escrow Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts
and, when counterparts of this Escrow Agreement have been executed and delivered by each of
the Parties and Escrow Agent, shall be fully effective and binding upon the Parties and Escrow
Agent notwithstanding that all Parties and Escrow Agent have not signed the same counterpart.
The Effective Date shall be the date of Escrow Agent’s receipt of the last signed counterpart,
upon receipt of which Escrow Agent shall write such date into the blank in the initial paragraph

(c) Retail Sales Fee Rate. The percentage rate(s) of the Retail Sales Fee
(the “Retail Sales Fee Rate”) shall be established by the Company from
time to time and may vary as applied to the Credit Retail Sales Fee and as
applied to the Add-On Retail Sales Fee. The Retail Sales Fee Rate of the
Credit Retail Sales Fee (the “Credit Retail Sales Fee Rate”) shall, without
the prior written approval of the Service District and, during the Declarant
Control Period, Declarant, be set at the same rate as the percentage tax rate
imposed by the Town pursuant to the Sales Tax. The Retail Sales Fee
Rate of the Add-On Retail Sales Fee (the “Add-On Retail Sales Fee Rate”)
shall, without the prior written approval of the Declarant during the
Declarant Control Period, not be greater than 0.75%.
(d) Discontinuation of the Fees. Section 7.9 of the Declaration is hereby
deleted in its entirety and in its place inserted the following:
7.9 Discontinuation of the Fees. The Company shall be obligated and

long as the Town maintains the Tax Credit in full force and effect and any
District Obligations (as defined in the Annexation and Development
Agreement) remain outstanding pursuant to [Section 6.2(a)] of the
Annexation and Development Agreement; provided, however, the
Company shall be further authorized to levy and collect the Add-On Retail

to discontinue collecting the Fees pursuant to this Section 7.9 and the
1012717.1 4
Town desires to begin imposing any tax under the Municipal Code that is
equivalent to any such Fee, excluding the Add-On Retail Sales Fee (e.g.,
the Real Property Transfer Tax would be considered the equivalent of the
Real Estate Transfer Fee) but is prevented from collecting such tax due to
Article X, Section 20, of the Constitution of the State of Colorado, the
Company shall not discontinue collecting such Fee (excluding the Add-On
Retail Sales Fee) and shall remit the payments collected pursuant to such
Fee to the Town as required by the Annexation and Development
Agreement.
(e) Add-On Retail Sales Fees. Article 7 of the Declaration is hereby amended

Add-On Retail Sales Fee imposed pursuant to this Article 7 may be used

(b) the “Project Costs” (as defined below); and (c) other matters as
otherwise expressly provided for in this Declaration and/or the Annexation

Owner acknowledges: (i) that the Company, the Service District, the Town
and/or the Declarant, as applicable, will use the revenues generated by the
Add-On Retail Sales Fee for the Permitted Uses, which will benefit the
Units and the Property; and (ii) that the obligation to pay the Add-On
Retail Sales Fees pursuant to this Declaration touches and concerns the
Property and the Units and is a real covenant running with the land as well

For purposes of this Article 7, the “Project Costs” shall mean and include
the costs and expenses to provide or undertake the following with respect
to the Property: (A) on-site and off-site public and private infrastructure

surveying, constructing, managing construction of and installing the on-
site and off-site public and private infrastructure improvements and
amenities benefitting the Property and the Units, together with all land or
interests in land necessary for the completion of the same, and all other
costs and expenses incurred or advanced in connection with the financing,
acquisition, construction and completion of the on-site and off-site public
and private infrastructure improvements and amenities benefitting the
Property and the Units, including, without limitation, maintenance, repair
and replacement costs incurred therefor; (E) any other functions the
Company is authorized to perform under its governing documents or under
the terms and conditions of this Declaration as amended from time to time
in accordance with its terms; and (F) the Company’s organization and/or
management.
(f) Amendments Concerning the Fees. Section 13.3 of the Declaration is
hereby deleted in its entirety and in its place inserted the following:

this Declaration to the contrary, (a) neither Article 7 of this Declaration,

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual agreements, promises and
covenants herein contained, the Parties mutually undertake, promise, and agree for themselves,
their respective representatives, successors and assigns, as follows:
SECTION 1
Add-On RSF Collection Agent Functions
1.1. Appointment of SDMS as Agent of the PICs and the Town.
(a) Appointment and Acceptance. The PICs hereby appoint SDMS as their
and the Town’s agent, the Town hereby consents to such appointment, and SDMS hereby
accepts such appointment, for purposes of (i) receiving, collecting, accounting for and
administering all Add-On RSF Revenues paid by Add-On RSF Obligors, and
(ii) remitting and disbursing all Add-On RSF Revenues to the Commercial PIC, the
Mixed-Use PIC and the Town (and/or to the Asphalt Overlay Account on behalf of the

subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. By the execution of this
Agreement, SDMS accepts the responsibility of receiving the Add-On RSF Revenues

Commercial PIC Add-On RSF Account, the Mixed-Use PIC Add-On RSF Account, the

seven business days after receipt thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

of SDMS as the PICs’ and the Town’s agent for the purposes and subject to the

lawful beneficiaries of the Add-On RSF Revenues derived from the Commercial Property
in accordance with the terms of the Commercial Declaration and the Annexation and
Development Agreement; and (ii) the Mixed-Use PIC and the Town are the lawful

property of the PICs and the Town and that SDMS will distribute the Add-On RSF
Heil Comments – Aug. 20, 2012

Revenues to the PICs and the Town (or as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement)
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
1.2. Notification to SDMS of Add-On RSF Obligors. The Commercial PIC and the
Mixed-Use PIC will employ commercially reasonable efforts to provide SDMS with prior
written notice of each new Add-On RSF Obligor engaging or intending to engage in Add-On
RSF Retail Activities of which the Commercial PIC and/or Mixed-Use PIC, as applicable, has
knowledge, such notice to be delivered before the initial Fee Remittance Date applicable to such
Add-On RSF Obligor. Additionally, SDMS will coordinate with the [Director of Finance] to
obtain notification from the Town of each new Sales Tax license or business license issued to an
Add-On RSF Obligor within the Property. SDMS will maintain a written list of each active
Add-On RSF Obligor within the Commercial Property and the Mixed-Use Property (a “Add-On
RSF Obligor List”). SDMS will include a current copy of the Add-On RSF Obligor List within
each Monthly Add-On RSF Report, and will coordinate with the Director of Finance to ensure
that the Add-On RSF Obligor List is updated to reflect each Add-On RSF Obligor which then
holds a valid Sales Tax license or business license issued by the Town. In preparing and
updating the Add-On RSF Obligor List, SDMS will be entitled to rely exclusively on the
information provided by the PICs and the Director of Finance with no independent obligation of
SDMS to investigate or verify the information.
1.3. Remittance of Add-On RSF Revenues to SDMS. In performing its obligations
under this Agreement, SDMS will be entitled to rely on all reports furnished pursuant to this

Activities conducted by such Add-On RSF Obligor during the relevant Reporting Period;

occurring during the applicable Reporting Period and setting forth the amount of Add-On RSF
Revenues due for such Reporting Period; and (iii) remit such Add-On RSF Revenues to SDMS,
together with the corresponding Add-On RSF Reporting Form, on or before the Fee Remittance
Date applicable to such Reporting Period. For so long as the Add-On Retail Sales Fee is
imposed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Mixed-Use Declaration, each Add-On RSF
Obligor is obligated to: (i) calculate the Add-On Retail Sales Fee amount due and payable on
Add-On RSF Retail Activities conducted by such Add-On RSF Obligor during the relevant
Reporting Period; (ii) complete and submit to SDMS an Add-On RSF Reporting Form covering
all transactions occurring during the applicable Reporting Period and setting forth the amount of
Add-On RSF Revenues due for such Reporting Period; and (iii) remit such Add-On RSF
Revenues to SDMS, together with the corresponding Add-On RSF Reporting Form, on or before
the Fee Remittance Date applicable to such Reporting Period.
1.4. Deposit of Add-On RSF Revenues by SDMS. Not later than the seventh
business day after receipt of any Add-On RSF Revenues from Add-On RSF Obligors, SDMS
will deposit such Add-On RSF Revenues as follows:

Mixed-Use Declaration, as applicable, specifying the nature and extent of such Add-On
RSF Obligor’s non-compliance and requesting that such Add-On RSF Obligor
immediately remedy such non-compliance. The requesting Person will provide SDMS
with information sufficient to enable SDMS to prepare and send such notice, and SDMS
will provide a copy of all such notices to the PICs and the Town. In sending the notice
required by this Section 2.4(c), SDMS may rely upon the information furnished by the
Person requesting the notice without any obligation to investigate or independently verify
such information. Other than the obligation to send the notices provided for in
Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) and this Section 2.4(c), SDMS will have no obligation to
undertake any enforcement action of any nature.
2.5. Confidentiality of Add-On RSF Reporting Forms. Except to the extent

SDMS from Add-On RSF Obligors unless otherwise required to be made public by law. All
such information will be used only for purposes of collecting the Add-On RSF Revenues,
enforcing Add-On RSF Obligors’ obligations under the Commercial Declaration and Mixed-Use

prepare and deliver to an auditor approved in writing by the PICs all materials necessary for
preparation of an audit of SDMS’ accounting of all Add-On RSF Revenues received and
disbursed in the immediately preceding calendar year, which audit procedures are generally
described in Exhibit E. SDMS will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the auditor
to provide to SDMS an annual audited report setting forth the Add-On RSF Revenues received
and disbursed by SDMS for the preceding calendar year for delivery to the PICs and the Town
within 90 calendar days after the end of the preceding calendar year. In compiling the
information to be provided for the audit, SDMS may rely on information provided as required or
permitted under this Agreement without any further obligation to investigate or independently
verify the accuracy of such information. The PICs will reimburse SDMS for its reasonable costs
and expenses incurred in performing and delivering the annual audit, which reimbursement
amount is a Collection Expense which will be paid from Add-On RSF Revenues (the Municipal
Services Revenues deposited in the Town Add-On RSF Account will be net of Collection
Expenses as provided in paragraph 32 of Exhibit A). At reasonable times during regular
business hours, the PICs and the Town are hereby authorized to audit, or cause audits to be
conducted of, SDMS’ books and records with respect to the collection and disbursement of Add-
On RSF Revenues. If an independent audit uncovers any deficiency in SDMS’ performance of
its obligations under this Agreement, SDMS will promptly cure such deficiency and, to the
extent such deficiency consists of SDMS’ failure to disburse Add-On RSF Revenues to the
Commercial PIC, the Mixed-Use PIC and/or the Town, as applicable, due to the negligence or
misconduct of SDMS, SDMS will, within 6010 days after notice from the Commercial PIC, the
Mixed-Use PIC and/or the Town, as applicable, pay the full amount of such deficiency to the
Commercial PIC, the Mixed-Use PIC and/or the Town, as applicable, together with interest
thereon at a rate equal to 2% above the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the
date of discovery of such deficiency and notice thereof to SDMS. The partyParty(ies)
performing any such audit will bear the full costs and expense of performing such audit. The
PICs will reimburse SDMS for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith, which reimbursement amount will be a Collection Expense which will be paid from
Add-On RSF Revenues (the Municipal Services Revenues deposited in the Town Add-On RSF
Account will be net of Collection Expenses as provided in paragraph 32 of Exhibit A); provided,
however, that SDMS will be responsible for all costs and expenses of any audit which discloses a
material deficiency in SDMS’ performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent
such deficiency is due to the negligence or misconduct of SDMS.

EXHIBIT A
Definitions
[Many of the definitions are defined in the Annexation Agreement and in the Declarations. This
Agreement states that the terms of Annexation Agreement and Declarations supersede where
inconsistent, which I assume includes definitions. Although it may render this document more
convenient to recopy the same definitions, I believe the SDMS must be in receipt of an
Annexation Agreement and Declarations. Therefore, I believe it would be preferrable for
definitions to cross-reference the applicable definition in the Annexation Agreement and
Declarations to avoid any potential for inconsistent definitions.]
For purposes of the attached Add-On RSF Collection Services Agreement, the following
terms have the following meanings, unless the context requires otherwise. Further, unless the
context requires otherwise, the singular of any term includes the plural, and any reference to a
Section or Exhibit is to a Section or Exhibit of the attached Add-On RSF Collection Services

determine and designate in writing to SDMS, in which case the applicable forms will be

Revenues which the Town is entitled to receive and are actually collected by SDMS as more
particularly described in the Annexation and Development Agreement. The Municipal Services

Fee is 0.75%. The net proceeds after adjustment for (deduction of) the Collection Expenses and

remitted to the Town, the portion of the Add-On RSF Revenues which will be construed to be
Municipal Services Revenues will be reduced in the same degree as any Sales Tax rate on retail
sales transactions increase above 4.0%. For example, if the Town increases its Sales Tax rate on
retail sales transactions by 0.25% (from 4.0% to 4.25%), the portion of the Add-On RSF
Revenues construed to be Municipal Services Revenues shall be that amount equivalent to a
reduction of 0.25% in the rate of the Add-On Retail Sales Fee (i.e., the revenue realized from a
rate of 0.50% rather than the revenue realized from a rate of 0.75%).

SDMS Fee Schedule
[The fee for collection must be defined and discussed. I understood the rate generally charged to
the PICs was an hourly rate not to exceed 1% of actual revenue collection. The Settlement Term
Sheet stated that “Avon will receive the revenues resulting from a .75% “Add-on PIF” and did
not expressly contemplate a collection fee to be deducted from the amount. It is my impression
that the Avon Town Council is receptive to a reasonable collection fee which is the same as
generally paid by the PICs to SDMS; however, I have not yet confirmed that position.]
For performance of services SDMS fees are billed monthly. The current hourly rate at the
execution of this Agreement is $___________ per hour. A minimum monthly charge of two
(2) hours will be billed as a stand-by fee and will be waived if actual time spent exceeds two
(2) hours. The hourly rate will increase annually in accordance with the Denver/Boulder
Consumer Price Index.
There also may be charges for out-of-pocket expenses, such as postage, facsimiles,
letterhead, envelopes, printing, etc. Receipts for such purchases will be provided with the
monthly billing.

ARTICLE II
ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATION
Section 2.01. No Additional Electoral Approval Required. The authorization for
issuance of debt, fiscal year spending, revenue collections and other constitutional matters
requiring voter approval for purposes of this Agreement, was approved at elections held by each
of TCMD and VMD on November 6, 2001 and November 5, 2002, in accordance with law and
pursuant to due notice. The performance of the terms of this Agreement by the Districts requires
no further electoral approval. The Districts have determined that, for purposes of appropriately
allocating their respective electoral debt authorization to the Annual Debt Service Obligation
herein, the Annual Debt Service Obligation shall be characterized as a debt in the principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Tank Project Bonds (when initially issued), issued
for the purpose of funding costs of water system infrastructure. The Districts shall be obligated
to provide for the annual repayment costs of such debt in an amount equal to the Annual Debt
Service Obligation and for a term not to exceed 30 years. Furthermore, because the Districts
cannot determine the precise amount of Annual Debt Service on the Tank Project Bonds that will
be funded by each of the Districts, each of the Districts shall allocate the full principal amount of
6
the Annual Debt Service Obligation (i.e., the principal amount of the Tank Project Bonds) to its
electoral debt authorization.
Section 2.02. Annual Debt Service Obligation; Limited Tax General Obligation.
(a) In exchange for the undertakings of the Authority set forth in the Water
Tank Agreement, TCMD and VMD jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid
the Annual Debt Service Obligation to the Authority by paying the Semi-Annual
Obligation to the Authority on the Payment Dates. The Districts jointly and severally
agree to deposit or cause to be deposited into the Senior Payment Fund the Tank Project
Property Tax Revenues or other legally available revenues of the Districts, including, in
the case of TCMD, the TCMD Revenues, in an amount sufficient to pay the Semi-Annual
Debt Service Obligation due on each Payment Date as set forth in the Annual Debt
Service Schedule.
(b) The joint and several obligation of the Districts to pay the Annual Debt
Service Obligation shall constitute a limited tax obligation of each District payable from
the Tank Project Property Tax Revenues or other legally available revenues of the
Districts, including, in the case of TCMD, the TCMD Revenues. This Agreement and the
obligation to pay the Annual Debt Service Obligation shall constitute a first and prior
irrevocable lien upon the Tank Project Property Tax Revenues, the TCMD Revenues and
the Senior Payment Fund. The Districts hereby elect to apply all of the provisions of the
Supplemental Act to this Pledge Agreement.
(c) There is hereby established and created a fund of TCMD to be designated
the “Traer Creek Metropolitan District Senior Payment Fund” (the “Senior Payment
Fund”), which shall be established as a depository account owned by TCMD. The
Senior Payment Fund shall not be maintained at BNP nor shall the amounts held in the
Senior Payment Fund be invested with BNP. TCMD hereby agrees to maintain the Senior
Payment Fund from and after the Implementation Date until the Termination Date. The
Tank Project Property Tax Revenues, the TCMD Revenues or other legally available
revenues of the Districts shall be credited to the Senior Payment Fund so that on or before
each Payment Date the balance of the Senior Payment Fund is sufficient to pay the
portion of the Semi-Annual Obligation due on such Payment Date. On or before each
Payment Date, commencing on the Payment Date occurring after the Tank Project Bonds
are issued, TCMD shall pay to the Authority the portion of the Semi-Annual Obligation
due on such Payment Date.
(d) All amounts payable by the Districts hereunder to the Authority shall be
paid in lawful money of the United States of America by check mailed or delivered, or by
wire transfer, to the Authority or to its designee, in accordance with its written
instruction.
(e) The Districts may, at any time, pay to the Authority an amount sufficient
to defease the Tank Project Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the resolution,
indenture or other document pursuant to which the Tank Project Bonds were issued.
7
Section 2.03. Imposition of Senior Required Mill Levy.
(a) In order to pay the Annual Debt Service Obligation, commencing with the
year in which the Implementation Date occurs, each District agrees to levy on all of the
taxable property in such District, in addition to all other taxes, direct annual taxes in each
year so long as the Tank Project Bonds remain Outstanding, in the amount of the
applicable Senior Required Mill Levy; provided that TCMD shall not be obligated to levy
taxes pursuant to this Agreement until the assessed valuation of taxable property in
TCMD is at least $1,000,000. Nothing herein shall be construed to require a District to
impose an ad valorem property tax levy for the payment of the Annual Debt Service
Obligation in excess of the Senior Required Mill Levy or after the Termination Date.
(b) In order to facilitate the determination of the Senior Required Mill Levy
by VMD, TCMD shall provide to VMD: (i) on or before September 30 of each year, the
preliminary certification of assessed value for the VMD provided by the Eagle County
Assessor; (ii) no later than one day after receipt by TCMD, the final certified assessed
value for VMD, provided by the Eagle County Assessor (expected to be provided by the
Eagle County Assessor no later than December 10 of each year); and (iii) no later than
December 10 of each year, the amount then on deposit in the Senior Payment Fund. In
accordance with the definition of Senior Required Mill Levy set forth herein, TCMD
shall preliminarily determine, and provide to VMD, the Senior Required Mill Levy for
each District no later than October 15 of each year, and shall finally determine, and
provide to VMD, the Senior Required Mill Levy for each District no later than December
12 of each year.
(c) Each District acknowledges that (i) it has actively participated in the
development of the calculation for determining the Senior Required Mill Levy, that such
calculation is designed to relate to (A) the mutual benefit to the Districts of the Water
Tank Project and (B) the relative ability of each District, given the relative stage of
development therein, to fund the Annual Debt Service Obligation from Tank Project
Property Tax Revenues (if not funded from other legally available revenues of the
Districts) in any given year and that, (ii) so long as made in accordance with the
foregoing and the definition of Senior Required Mill Levy herein, the determinations of
TCMD as to the Senior Required Mill Levy shall be final and binding upon both
Districts.
(d) This Section 2.03 is hereby declared to be the certificate of the Districts to
the Board of County Commissioners indicating the aggregate amount of taxes to be
levied for the purposes of paying the Annual Debt Service Obligation due hereunder.
(e) It shall be the duty of each District annually at the time and in the manner
provided by law for the levying of its taxes, if such action shall be necessary to effectuate
the provisions of this Agreement, to ratify and carry out the provisions hereof with
reference to the levy and collection of the ad valorem property taxes herein specified, and
to require the officers of such District to cause the appropriate officials of Eagle County,
to levy, extend and collect said ad valorem taxes in the manner provided by law for the
purpose of providing funds for the payment of the amounts to be paid hereunder promptly
8
as the same, respectively, become due. Said taxes, when collected, shall be applied only
to the payment of the amounts to be paid hereunder.
(f) Said taxes shall be levied, assessed, collected, and enforced at the time and
in the form and manner and with like interest and penalties as other general taxes in the
State.
(g) Each District shall pursue all reasonable remedies to collect, or cause the
collection of, delinquent ad valorem taxes within its boundaries.
Section 2.04. Pledge of TCMD Revenues by TCMD. TCMD hereby pledges the
TCMD Revenues to the Authority to further secure the payment of the Annual Debt Service
Obligation. The Annual Debt Service Obligation shall constitute a first and prior irrevocable lien
on the TCMD Revenues. TCMD shall pay or cause to be paid to the Authority TCMD Revenues
to the extent necessary to cause the balance in the Senior Payment Fund to equal the Semi-
Annual Obligation due on the next Payment Date. When one or both of the Districts have
imposed a Senior Required Mill Levy sufficient to generate Tank Project Property Tax Revenues
in amount to pay the Annual Debt Service Obligation, or when the balance in the Senior
Payment Fund equals the Semi-Annual Obligation due on the next Payment Date, the TCMD
Revenues may be used by TCMD for other legal purposes; provided that if the Semi-Annual
Obligation is not paid in full on a Payment Date, all TCMD Revenues shall thereafter be
deposited to the Senior Payment Fund until the amount due on such Payment Date is paid in full,
with interest as provided in Section 3.02 hereof.
Section 2.05. Limitations on Annual Debt Service Obligation. In no event shall the
total or annual obligations of either District hereunder exceed the maximum amounts permitted
under its electoral authority and any other applicable law. The entire Annual Debt Service
Obligation will be deemed defeased and no longer outstanding with respect to both Districts
upon the earlier of: (i) the payment by each District of such amount; or (ii) the Termination Date.
Section 2.06. Effectuation of Pledge of Security, Current Appropriation. The sums
herein required to pay the amounts due from the Districts hereunder are hereby appropriated for
that purpose, and said amounts for each year shall be included in the annual budget and the
appropriation resolution or measures to be adopted or passed by the Board of Directors of each
District in each year while any of the obligations herein authorized are outstanding and unpaid.
No provisions of any constitution, statute, resolution or other order or measure enacted after the
execution of this Agreement shall in any manner be construed as limiting or impairing the
obligation of the Districts to pay the Annual Debt Service Obligation as provided herein.
Section 2.07. Limited Defenses. It is understood and agreed by the Districts that their
obligations hereunder are absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional except as specifically stated
herein, and so long as any obligation of a District hereunder remains unfulfilled, such District
agrees that notwithstanding any fact, circumstance, dispute, or any other matter, it will not assert
any rights of setoff, counterclaim, estoppel, or other defenses to its Annual Debt Service
Obligation, or take or fail to take any action which would delay a payment to the Authority or the
Authority’s ability to receive payments due hereunder.
9
Section 2.08. Additional Covenants.
(a) The Districts will not issue or incur bonds, notes, or other obligations
payable in whole or in part from, or constituting a lien upon, the Tank Project Property
Tax Revenues, the TCMD Revenues, or the Senior Payment Fund without the prior
consent of the Authority; provided, however, that the Districts may issue obligations with
a lien on the TCMD Revenues which is subordinate to the lien of this Agreement without
the consent of Authority so long as no Event of Default exists under this Agreement.
(b) At least once a year as required by applicable State law, each of the
Districts will cause an audit to be performed of the records relating to revenues and
expenditures of the Districts, and the Districts shall use their best efforts to have such
audit report completed no later than 180 days after the end of any calendar year. The
foregoing covenant shall apply notwithstanding any State law audit exemptions that may
exist. In addition, at least once a year as required by applicable State law, each District
will cause a budget to be prepared and adopted. Copies of the budget and the audit will
be filed and recorded in the places, time, and manner as required by applicable State law.
(c) Each District covenants that it will not take any action or fail to take any
action which action or failure to act would release any property which is included within
the boundaries of the District at any time from liability for the payment of amounts due
under this Agreement.
(d) Each District covenants that it shall not take any action or that it shall not
fail to take any action which action or failure to act would result in a material impairment
of the rights of the Authority under this Agreement and that it will diligently, in good
faith, and with best efforts seek to prevent, to the fullest extent permitted by law the
taking of such action.
(e) Each District will at all times preserve and maintain its existence, rights
and privileges in the State.
(f) Not later than January 15 in each year, each District shall provide the
Authority a certificate of an authorized officer of the District setting forth (A) the amount
of the Senior Required Mill Levy certified in December of the immediately preceding
year for collection in the current year and (B) the balance of the Senior Payment Fund as
of the date of certification.
Section 2.09. Conditions to Implementation Date. All of the conditions set forth
below shall have been satisfied on or before the Implementation Date.
(a) Execution of this Pledge Agreement by TCMD, VMD and the Authority;
(b) Release and delivery of this Pledge Agreement in accordance with the
terms of the Escrow Agreement;
10
(c) Delivery of an opinion from Kutak Rock LLP, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Authority, addressed to the Authority to the effect that this Agreement
is a valid and binding obligation of the Districts;
(d) Issuance by TCMD of the TCMD Refunding Bonds;
(e) Issuance by the Authority of Tank Project Bonds with an Annual Debt
Service which does not exceed $500,000, or for any period which is a portion of a
calendar year, the pro rata portion of $500,000 which is allocable to such portion of the
year;
(f) The attachment to this Pledge Agreement and delivery to the Districts of
an Annual Debt Service Schedule in accordance with Section 2.09 hereof; and
(g) BNP executes and delivers the acknowledgement and consent in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(h) The Districts have deposited to the Senior Payment Fund an amount
sufficient to make all payments due on each Payment Date occurring in the same year as
the Implementation Date.
(i) Evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to the Authority, is provided
to the Authority that each of WalMart and Home Depot have leased the stores operated
by each of them in VMD through at least January 1, 2027.
(j) A written agreement for the benefit of the Authority from Traer Creek
LLC and EMD Limited Liability Company to the effect that the Declarations shall not be
amended in a manner which materially adversely affects the ability of TCMD to perform

Project Bonds, the Authority shall provide to the Districts and attach as Exhibit A to this Pledge
Agreement a schedule describing the Annual Debt Service to come due on such Tank Project
Bonds including the Semi-Annual Obligations due on each Interest Payment Date. In the event
that the Authority subsequently issues additional Tank Project Bonds for the purpose of
refinancing all or any portion of any previously issued Tank Project Bonds, or otherwise redeems
or defeases Tank Project Bonds in a manner that would reduce the Annual Debt Service as
shown on the then current Annual Debt Service Schedule attached to this Pledge Agreement in
each remaining period, the Authority shall replace promptly the prior Annual Debt Service
Schedule with the new Annual Debt Service Schedule reflecting the new Annual Debt Service to
come due on the Tank Project Bonds then Outstanding, and shall provide a copy of the same to
the Districts. Any Annual Debt Service Schedule required to be provided in accordance with this
Section 2.09 shall not be considered delivered for purposes of this Pledge Agreement unless and
until accompanied by a certification of an authorized representative of the Authority stating that
such Annual Debt Service Schedule represents the true and correct Annual Debt Service of the
Tank Project Bonds then Outstanding. Once the Annual Debt Service Obligation is established
by the initial Annual Debt Service Schedule, it shall not be increased (but may be decreased) due
to a refunding of the Tank Project Bonds.
11

Pledge Agreement (i) will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation or
of any order, writ, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator, or governmental authority,

the extent that BNP is expressly provided consent rights herein. Nothing contained
herein, expressed or implied, is intended to give to any person other than the Authority
any claim, remedy, or right under or pursuant hereto, and any agreement, condition,
