TO: Honorable Mayor Carroll and Town Council Members
FROM: Eric J. Heil, Town Attorney
RE: Amendments to Village (at Avon) Development Agreement and the Water Tank
Agreement
DATE: September 13, 2013
SUMMARY: This memorandum provides an overview of amendments to the Village (at Avon)
Consolidated, Amended and Restated Annexation and Development Agreement (“Development
Agreement”) approved in October of 2012 and amendments to the Water Tank Agreement.
AMENDMENTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT: Since the time of approving the Development
Agreement changes in interest rates and other factors have rendered the ability of the Upper Eagle River
Water Authority (“Authority”) to finance and construct the Traer Creek water storage tank (“Water Tank”) no
longer possible. Also, Traer Creek-RP has proposed a new road alignment which reduces the cut and fill,
reduces the amount of surplus soil to be stockpiled or removed, reduces the number of crossings of Traer
Creek from 3 to 1, and results in a retaining wall which is less visible. This road design was not in the plans
and specifications which were bid by the Authority.
Traer Creek-RP LLC (“TC-RP”) has proposed to provide private financing for the construction of the Water
Tank. This is a change from the terms of the Settlement Term Sheet under which the Authority was to
finance and construct the Water Tank. Attached are amendments to the Development Agreement to
implement the terms of financing by TC-RP. The terms of the financing are set forth so as to not result in
additional overall costs for the Town of Avon with respect to the Town’s tax credit obligation compared to
the terms set forth in the Settlement Term Sheet.
The terms are summarized as follows:
• TC-RP is responsible for providing sufficient and timely funds for completion of the Water Tank.
Completion of the Water Tank is defined in the Tank Agreement as completing construction,
dedication to the Authority and acceptance by the Authority after inspection by the Authority.
• TC-RP shall be reimbursed for the first $7 million by a pledge of $500k per year for 30 years in the
same manner and priority as the pledge to the Authority in the Settlement Term Sheet. This
amount equates to an effective interest rate of 5.933%.
• TC-RP shall be reimbursed for additional principal amounts for the Water Tank in excess of $7
million by one of two options. Option 1 is to treat the additional financing as an Additional
Developer Advance except that the total repayment cost all counts against the Credit PIF Cap (i.e.
principal, interest and any other costs associated with repayment). Option 2 is to treat the
additional financing as a new category for reimbursement which would be added to the priority
waterfall of payments AFTER the payment of Past Developer Advances and the Avon Receivable
AND only with payment by non-Credit PIF Revenues. The Town’s tax credit obligation would be
fully satisfied at this point, therefore, under Option 2, the additional financing would not be repaid

with Town’s tax credit, only with the Village Metro District mill levy, any residual Public
Improvement Company fees that remain in place after the Town’s tax credit terminate, and any
other fees the Districts in the Village may have in place. Under Option 2, the entire amount of the
additional financing would NOT count against the Credit PIF Cap.
Revisions to implement these changes include:
Section 5.5 to set forth terms of TC-RP’s obligations to provide “Tank Project Financing”.
Section 6.2(b)(ii) to state that $7 million for the Tank Project will count against the Credit PIF Cap plus the
entire amount of TC-RP Additional Tank Project Financing Reimbursement if Developer elects
reimbursement as an Additional Developer Advance.
Section 6.2(c)(viii) to state that reimbursement of TC-RP Additional Tank Project Financing Non-Credit PIF
Revenue Reimbursement does NOT count against the Credit PIF Cap.
Section 6.9(b)(v)(B)4 to set forth a new category for priority use of District Revenues for TC-RP Additional
Tank Project Financing Non-Credit PIF Revenue Reimbursement that is below the Past Developer
Advances and Avon Receivable (i.e. below the last payment obligations requiring the Town’s tax credit
obligation to remain in place).
Definition of “Tank Project Bonds” is replaced with “Tank Project Financing”.
New Definition “TC-RP Additional Tank Project Financing Reimbursement” is added and simply references
Section 5.5(b)(iii).
New Definition “TC-RP Additional Tank Project Financing Non-Credit PIF Revenue Reimbursement” is
added and references Sections 5.5(b)(iii)(B) and 6.9(b)(v)(B)4.
OTHER AMENDMENTS: Other amendments are proposed which are a follow-up to work performed
earlier in the summer when the parties considered designating The Village Metropolitan District as a district
which could issue bonds and enjoy the tax-exempt status. These revisions were generally acceptable in
early summer and would allow flexibility for potential issuance of tax-exempt bonds by The Village
Metropolitan District in the future without the need to amend the Development Agreement. Several terms
related to bond documents were revised to simply refer to the bond documents because in order to insure
consistency with the bond documents and avoid conflicts. The final definitions in Bond Documents will still
be reviewed for any potential negative impact to the Town’s interest or intent of the Development
Agreement. Finally, revisions to remove reference to BNP as a member of the Board of Directors of Traer
Creek Metropolitan District were removed because BNP determined early in 2013 that BNP no longer had
an interest in hold a seat on the TCMD Board of Directors.
FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-13: Ordinance No. 13-13 approving these amendments to the
Development Agreement is presented for first reading. Additional review of the amendments to the
Development Agreement will occur through the time Second Reading is presented to Council in order to
verify consistency and accuracy of all terms, cross-references and definitions. Only the body of the
Development Agreement and Exhibit F Definitions is presented to Council. Exhibits A through E have not

changed. Although I have been in discussion with the attorney for TC-RP, TC-RP has not had the
opportunity to review these revisions; therefore, I expect there will be at least some comments and
requested additional revisions for first reading and/or second reading.
ADDENDUM TO TANK AGREEMENT: Attached is an Addendum to the Tank Agreement as well the Tank
Agreement as previously approved by the Town Council in December of 2012. The Addendum changes
the responsible party for constructing the Water Tank, addresses required escrow amounts, and states the
conditions for which the Authority would rescind the moratorium on water service. Council may approve the
Addendum to the Tank Agreement by motion.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Ordinance No. 13-13 AN ORDINANCE APPROVING
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSOLIDATED, AMENDED AND RESTATED ANNEXATION AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE VILLAGE (AT AVON).”
Thank you, Eric

CONSOLIDATED, AMENDED AND RESTATED
ANNEXATION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
FOR THE VILLAGE (AT AVON)
THIS CONSOLIDATED, AMENDED AND RESTATED ANNEXATION AND DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT FOR THE VILLAGE (AT AVON) (as amended from time to time, this “Development Agreement”) is
made and entered into as of __________________,June 7, 2013 (“Execution Date”) by and among the Parties and the
Limited Parties, and with the consent of the Developer Affiliates, BNP and Lenders.
RECITALS
This Development Agreement is made with reference to the following facts:
A. Initially capitalized words and phrases used in this Development Agreement have the meanings set forth
in Exhibit F, which definitions are incorporated herein.
B. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, the Town and the Original Owners set forth the terms and
conditions upon which the land legally described in Exhibit A of the Original Agreement would be annexed into and
developed under the jurisdiction of the Town, such legal description having been updated to reflect the Recording of
various subdivision plats subsequent to the Original Effective Date and attached as Exhibit A hereto and incorporated
herein (the “Property”).
C. Town Council approved the Service Plans on August 25, 1998, and on February 3, 1999, TCMD and
VMD were legally formed for the general purposes contemplated by the Original Agreement and more specifically
described in the Service Plans.
D. Subsequent to the Original Effective Date: (i) the other entities comprising the Original Owner were
merged into EMD, which became the sole Original Owner; and (ii) pursuant to Section 1.4 of the Original Agreement,
EMD specifically granted to TCLLC, in writing, the right to amend the Original Agreement as to all of the Property
except Planning Area M as designated in the Original PUD Guide and the Original Agreement (now re-designated
Planning Area I pursuant to the PUD Guide), with respect to which EMD retained the right to amend the Original
Agreement.
E. As of the Execution Date, the current fee owners of the real property comprising the Property are, as their
respective interests appear of Record: TC-RP; EMD; TC Plaza; TC-WMT; TC-HD; Alkali Company, a Colorado
limited partnership; TCMD; the District Directors; the Town; Buffalo Ridge Affordable Housing Corporation, a
Colorado corporation; Buffalo Ridge II LLLP, a Colorado limited liability limited partnership; Eagle River Fire
Protection District, a quasi-municipal corporation; Eagle County Health Service District, a quasi-municipal
corporation; and Department of Transportation, State of Colorado.
F. Other than EMD, each of the Developer Affiliates and other Landowners referred to in Recital E
acquired title to the portion of the Property it owns subject to the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement,
including, without limitation, Section 1.4 of the Original Agreement. None of the conveyances referred to in Recital E
were accompanied by a specific written grant of the power to amend the Original Agreement as provided in Section 1.4
of the Original Agreement. Accordingly, with the exception of the Town and EMD (by virtue of being parties to the
Original Agreement), TCMD (by virtue of becoming a party to the Original Agreement pursuant to the First
Amendment thereto) and TCLLC (by virtue of the assignment described in Recital D), no Landowner or other person or
entity has been granted any power to consent or object to any amendment of the Original Agreement (except for the
rights of BNP, derived in its capacity as the issuer of an irrevocable direct pay letter of credit securing the Traer Creek
Metropolitan District Variable Rate Revenue Bonds, Series 2002 and the Traer Creek Metropolitan District Variable
Rate Revenue Bonds, Series 2004, to consent to TCMD’s execution of any such amendment). As provided in Section
E-2 1001679.22 FINAL
1.4 of the Original Agreement, no person or entity other than the Town, EMD, TCMD and TCLLC is required or has a
right to execute or acknowledge this Development Agreement as a condition of this Development Agreement being
legally effective and binding on all parties to the Original Agreement and all Landowners.
G. For ease of administration and in recognition of the fact the ownership of the Property has and will
continue to become diverse as the Project develops, the Developer Affiliates have designated Master Developer to act
on their behalf for all purposes in connection with this Development Agreement, including but not limited to negotiation
and execution of this Development Agreement and any future amendments hereto.
H. Master Developer, certain of the Developer Affiliates, TCMD, the Town and other parties asserted
various legal claims in the consolidated cases 2008 CV 385 and 2010 CV 316 (collectively, consolidated as Case No.
2008 CV 385, the “Litigation”) and the parties to the Litigation desired to avoid the cost of trial, the cost of a protracted
appellate process, the uncertainty and potential costs of remand of portions of the Litigation to the trial court, and the
uncertainty of the final outcome of Litigation. Therefore, the parties to the Litigation entered into that certain
Settlement Term Sheet made and entered into the 7th day of October, 2011, by and between the Town, BNP, TCMD,
TCLLC, TC-RP, TC Plaza, EMD, TC-HD LLC and TC-WMT (the “Settlement Term Sheet”).
I. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Settlement Term Sheet, the Parties have entered into
this Development Agreement to implement pertinent terms of the Settlement Term Sheet, to effect a full and final
settlement of all disputes pertaining to the Original Agreement which were the subject of the Litigation, and to resolve
other potential disputes related to development entitlements, interpretation of Original Agreement, equitable allocation
of responsibilities and rights, and other matters which are addressed in this Development Agreement and related
documents. The Town’s final non-appealable approval of this Development Agreement establishes and implements
specific terms and conditions of the Settlement Term Sheet and shall be binding on the Parties hereto and also shall be
binding on all parties to the Settlement Term Sheet.
J. Various circumstances and changed conditions require mutual execution and approval of this
Development Agreement in order to: (i) clarify and implement the intent of the parties to the Original Agreement to
promote development of the Property; (ii) amend and restate the Original Agreement in order to implement the
Settlement Term Sheet; and (iii) facilitate dismissal of the Litigation with prejudice and minimize the potential for
future legal disputes.
K. During the period between the Original Effective Date and the Execution Date and in reliance on the
revenue sharing and infrastructure financing arrangements established by the Original Agreement, the Districts, the
PICs, Master Developer and/or the Developer Affiliates have made large investments in Public Improvements located
both within the Property and outside of the Property. The foregoing has resulted in:
(1) Full satisfaction of the following obligations of TCMD under the terms and conditions of the
Original Agreement, with the provisions establishing such obligations accordingly deleted from this
Development Agreement:
(a) Construction of the Interstate 70 Interchange and the Highway 6 Connector Road as
defined in § 4.2 of the Original Agreement;
(b) Payment of the Chapel Place Exaction as defined in § 4.3(a)(ii) of the Original
Agreement, in the amount of $100,000;
(c) Construction of the Phase 1 Improvements and the Phase 2 Improvements as defined in §
4.3(b)(i) and (ii) of the Original Agreement;
E-3 1001679.22 FINAL
(d) Construction of the Swift Gulch Road Improvements as defined in § 4.3(c) of the Original
Agreement;
(e) Payment of the Highway 6 Trail Exaction as defined in § 4.3(g) of the Original
Agreement; and
(f) Those obligations set forth in § 4.3(j) of the Original Agreement.
(2) Partial satisfaction of the following obligation of TCMD under the terms and conditions of the
Original Agreement, with performance of the remaining obligations waived pursuant to the Settlement Term
Sheet and the provisions establishing such obligation accordingly deleted from this Development Agreement:
(a) Payment of nine (9) installments, in the amount of $200,000 each, of the ten (10) such
installments comprising the East Avon Exaction as defined in § 4.3(a)(i) of the Original Agreement, the
obligation to make the final installment being extinguished by this Development Agreement as
contemplated in the Settlement Term Sheet.
(3) Full satisfaction of the following obligations of Original Owners under the terms and conditions
of the Original Agreement, with the provisions establishing such obligations accordingly deleted from this
Development Agreement:
(a) The two property conveyances comprising the Public Works Dedication as defined in §
4.3(d) of the Original Agreement;
(b) Reimbursement to the Town of those costs required to be reimbursed pursuant to § 4.3(e)
of the Original Agreement.
L. The Town has adopted Ordinance No. 12-10, which approved this Development Agreement, approved
the PUD Guide and PUD Master Plan, repealed Ordinance No. 06-17, and took other actions stated in Ordinance No.
12-10 to implement in part the Settlement Term Sheet.
M. Continued development of the Project will require substantial additional investments in Public
Improvements, and completion of these additional Public Improvements will require substantial additional investments
by the Districts, the PICs, Master Developer, the Developer Affiliates and/or other Landowners. All such completed
and to be constructed Public Improvements will serve the needs of the Project and the Town. Such prior and future
investments can be supported only if there are assurances that development of the Project will be permitted to proceed to
ultimate completion as contemplated in this Development Agreement and the PUD Guide.
N. The Vested Property Rights Statute and the Municipal Code (as in effect on the Execution Date)
authorize the Town to enter into development agreements which provide for the vesting of property development rights
with a term of greater than three (3) years.
O. Town Council has determined that granting Vested Property Rights for the duration of the Vesting Term
will promote reasonable certainty, stability and fairness in the land use planning process, stimulate economic growth,
secure the reasonable investment-backed expectations of Landowners and foster cooperation between the public and
private sectors in the area of land use planning and development.
P. Town Council specifically finds that this Development Agreement provides public benefits including
but not limited to the following specific public benefits: (i) development of the Property in accordance with the
applicable development standards in the Development Plan and, to the extent not controlled by the Development Plan,
the Municipal Code (as amended from time to time); (ii) economic development through construction anticipated to
occur in connection with development of the Project; (iii) economic development through the development of various
E-4 1001679.22 FINAL
commercial and residential uses that enhance, complement and reinforce the Town’s existing economy, commercial
base and ad valorem property tax base; (iv) development of housing to meet the needs of the Avon community; (v)
development of significant property within the Town’s municipal boundaries which promotes economies of scale in the
provision of public services; and (vi) establishment of a public-private cooperative arrangement that promotes the
availability of capital for Public Improvements and promotes the competitiveness and viability of private development
within the Town and the Project.
Q. In exchange for these benefits and the other benefits to the Town contemplated by this Development
Agreement, together with the public benefits served by the orderly development of the Property, this Development
Agreement and the Vested Property Rights established herein are intended to provide assurance to Master Developer,
EMD, the Developer Affiliates, other Landowners, the Districts, lenders providing financing for development of the
Project from time to time, BNP and purchasers of bonds or holders of other forms of debt issued or to be issued by the
Districts that development of the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Development Plan and the
Approved SSDPs can occur without impediment or impairment of the Vested Property Rights.
R. The Limited Parties have executed this Development Agreement only for the limited purposes expressly
set forth herein and with the express understanding that the Limited Parties shall not be construed to have any rights,
duties, obligations or remedies arising under this Development Agreement except to the extent expressly set forth herein
with respect to each Limited Party and, accordingly, the rights, duties, obligations and remedies of each Limited Party
shall be strictly limited to those expressly set forth in this Development Agreement as a right, duty, obligation or remedy
of such Limited Party.
S. Lenders have executed this Development Agreement for the sole purpose of evidencing their respective
consent and subordination to the Recording of this Development Agreement, but without thereby acquiring the status of
a Party or otherwise being subject to any obligation or acquiring any enforcement right or remedy arising under this
Development Agreement.
T. BNP, while not a Party, has executed a written consent to this Development Agreement in order to affirm
BNP’s consent to approval of the Financing Plan and related matters addressed in this Development Agreement.
Additionally, BNP is an Intended Beneficiary with respect to BNP’s right to enforce certain provisions of this
Development Agreement, including but not limited to BNP’s right to have a lawfully eligible candidate designated at
the option of BNP to hold the office of director of TCMD, BNP’s right to be conveyed and to hold a property interest
sufficient to qualify its designee for holding the position of director until such time as there are no outstanding
obligations to BNP under the TCMD Reissue Documents or any subsequent reissue or refunding of such bonds, and
BNP’s right to participate on the AURA board of directors with respect to any urban renewal plans for any portion of the
Property.
U. As between the Town, AURA, TCMD and VMD, this Development Agreement constitutes an
intergovernmental agreement pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 29-1-203 and 29-20-105, and such Parties intend their respective
obligations hereunder to be enforceable by specific performance and/or other equitable remedies in addition to any
remedies otherwise available at law.
V. As between the Town, Master Developer, EMD, Developer Affiliates and other current or future
Landowners, this Development Agreement constitutes a development agreement granting Vested Property Rights for a
period in excess of three (3) years in accordance with Section 24-68-104(2) of the Vested Property Rights Statute.
W. The Parties intend this Development Agreement to amend and restate in its entirety the Original
Agreement by consolidating the original document and subsequent amendments thereto into a single document for ease
of reference, and additionally by incorporating the amendments necessary and desirable to implement applicable terms
and conditions of the Settlement Term Sheet.

1.4 Vesting Term; Term of Development Agreement. Phased development of the Project as contemplated
under this Development Agreement and the Development Plan involves significant acreage and density which will
require substantial investment and time to complete.
(a) Vesting Term. Due to the size and phasing of the Project, the potential for development of the
Project to be affected by economic and financial cycles, the effect of national and statewide markets with regard to
retailers, accommodations industry and builders, and the limitation of absorption rates by the local market conditions,
the term of the Vested Property Rights established pursuant to Section 2.4 shall continue through and including October
20, 2039 (“Vesting Term”). If the Term expires prior to expiration of the Vesting Term, the Vesting Term shall continue
in full force and effect and shall survive expiration of the Term in accordance with and subject to the terms, conditions
and limitations set forth in this Agreement. On October 21, 2039, the Vested Property Rights shall be deemed
terminated and of no further force or effect; provided, however, that such termination shall not affect:
(i) annexation of the Property to the Town;
(ii) any common-law vested rights obtained prior to such termination;
(iii) any right arising from Town building permits, development approvals or other zoning
entitlements for the Property or the Project which were granted or approved prior to expiration of the Vesting
Term; or,
E-6 1001679.22 FINAL
(iv) any obligation of a Party under this Development Agreement that has not been fully
performed as of the date on which the Vesting Term expires.
(b) Term of Development Agreement. Notwithstanding any prior expiration of the Vesting Term (or
survival of the Vesting Term after expiration of the Term), the term of this Development Agreement and the Parties’
obligations hereunder shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall terminate upon expiration of the Term. Upon
expiration of the Term, the Town is entitled under the terms of this Development Agreement to terminate the Tax Credit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Town may elect to extend the Term in accordance with Section 6.1(d). In no event
shall the Term expire before the Town’s obligation to maintain the Tax Credit in effect has terminated as provided in
Section 6.1(b).
(c) Obligation to Maintain Tax Credit. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Town’s obligation to
maintain the Tax Credit in effect pursuant to Sections 4.2(a) and 6.1(b) shall survive expiration of the Vesting Term and
shall continue in full force and effect until the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b) have been fully satisfied.
1.5 Amendment of Development Agreement. This Development Agreement may be amended or terminated
only by mutual written consent of the Town, TCMD and Master Developer (but not by their respective successors or
assigns or by any non-Party Landowner) following the public notice and public hearing procedures required for
approval of this Development Agreement; provided, however:
(a) Specific Grant of Amendment Rights. For purposes of this Section 1.5 only, the term “Master
Developer” means TCLLC, EMD and those additional parties, if any, to whom TCLLC or EMD has specifically
granted, in writing, the power to enter into such amendments. No entity to whom TCLLC or EMD has granted the
power to enter into such amendments may further assign or grant such power to another entity except to the extent
expressly stated in the grantee’s original grant from TCLLC or EMD.
(b) Limited Parties. The written consent of a Limited Party (other than EMD in its capacity as
Master Developer, as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.5) shall not be required except to the extent the proposed
amendment directly and expressly modifies a provision of this Development Agreement that establishes a right,
obligation or remedy of such Limited Party.
(c) VMD. During any portion of the Term in which VMD has outstanding District Debts that VMD
issued or incurred as part of or with respect to the Financing Plan, VMD’s written consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for amendments to the Financing Plan and/or to Section 5.1 to the
extent such amendments expressly create additional obligations of VMD and/or expressly modify any rights of VMD
that are established in such provisions. VMD’s written consent shall not be required with respect to amendments to this
Development Agreement that are not expressly within the scope of the preceding sentence.
(d) (c) BNP. The Parties acknowledge that until such time as there are no outstanding obligations to
BNP under the TCMD2013 Reissue Documents or any subsequent reissue or refunding of such bonds, TCMD and/or
VMD’s agreement to any future amendment to the provisions of this Development Agreement that run in favor of BNP,
including without limitation, this Section 1.5(cd), Section 1.6, Article 4, Section 5.1(e), Section 5.3(e), Article 6 and
Article 7 is subject to BNP Paribas’ (or any successor or assignee of BNP Paribas pursuant to Section 8.11) prior written
consent. The Parties further acknowledge that until such time as there are no outstanding obligations to BNP under the
TCMD2013 Reissue Documents or any subsequent reissue or refunding of such bonds, TCMD is, TCMD and VMD are
(or are anticipated to be) required by the provisions of the TCMD2013 Reissue Documents to obtain the consent of BNP
(or a written acknowledgement that such consent is not required) to any future amendment to the provisions of this
Development Agreement, and failure on the part of TCMD and VMD to obtain such consent prior to entering into any
such amendment will be a default under the TCMD2013 Reissue Documents, as to which BNP will have the right to
exercise its remedies.
E-7 1001679.22 FINAL
1.6 Cooperation in Defending Legal Challenges. If, after the Execution Date, any legal or equitable action
or other proceeding is commenced by a third party challenging the effectiveness of Ordinance No. 12-10, the
effectiveness of this Development Agreement and/or the Development Plan, or the validity of any provision of this
Development Agreement and/or the Development Plan, the Parties shall in good faith cooperate in defending such
action or proceeding and shall each bear their own expenses in connection therewith. Unless the Parties otherwise
agree, each Party shall select and pay its own legal counsel to represent it in connection with such action or proceeding.
The Parties acknowledge that the obligations of the Town, VMD and TCMD pursuant to this Section 1.6 are subject to
compliance with the requirements of Section 20 of Article X of the Colorado Constitution. Accordingly, the Town,
VMD and TCMD shall in good faith take such steps as may be available to them in response to the filing of any action
or proceeding addressed above to set aside, hold and irrevocably pledge adequate present cash reserves to fund the
reasonably anticipated costs of defending such action or proceeding; provided, however, if either the Town, VMD or
TCMD is not in a position to fund from present cash reserves all or any portion of the reasonably anticipated costs of
defending such action or proceeding, such Party’s obligation pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be subject to annual
appropriation.
1.7 Role of Master Developer. For the reasons described in Recital G, the Developer Affiliates have
designated Master Developer to act on behalf of themselves and their respective successors in interest with respect to
and for all purposes of this Development Agreement. The Developer Affiliates may designate a replacement Master
Developer from time to time, or may terminate the role of the Master Developer, by delivery of written notice thereof to
the Town, VMD and to TCMD which is signed by a majority of the Developer Affiliates owning any part of the
Property as of the date of such notice. Any replacement Master Developer must be an entity that is a Developer
Affiliate. The designation of a replacement Master Developer or termination of the role of Master Developer by the
Developer Affiliates shall not require an amendment to this Development Agreement and shall not require the consent
of the Town, VMD, TCMD or BNP.
1.8 Rights and Obligations of Limited Parties and Intended Beneficiaries.
(a) Limited Parties. As more particularly described in Recital R, each Limited Party is executing this
Development Agreement solely with respect to a limited obligation of such Limited Party. With respect to each Limited
Party, such obligations, rights and remedies are expressly limited as follows:
(i) AURA. AURA’s obligations arising under this Development Agreement are limited to
those set forth in Section 4.3. AURA’s rights and remedies arising under this Development Agreement are as set
forth in Section 7.7(c)(i).

Development Agreement are limited to those set forth in Section 5.2. The Commercial PIC’s rights and
remedies arising under this Development Agreement are as set forth in Section 7.7(c)(iii).
(iv) The Mixed Use PIC. The Mixed-Use PIC’s obligations arising under this Development
Agreement are limited to those set forth in Section 5.2. The Mixed-Use PIC’s rights and remedies arising under
this Development Agreement are as set forth in Section 7.7(c)(iv).
(b) Intended Beneficiaries. Except to the extent an Intended Beneficiary undertakes obligations as
an Applicant in connection with the development of a Site and/or execution of a Public Improvement Agreement as
provided in this Development Agreement, no Intended Beneficiary is subject to any obligation arising solely under this
Development Agreement. Except with respect to the rights and remedies of such Intended Beneficiaries as set forth in
E-8 1001679.22 FINAL
Section 7.7(d), no Intended Beneficiary has acquired any enforcement right or remedy arising solely under this
Development Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TC-RP shall have the obligation set forth in Section 5.5.
ARTICLE 2
ANNEXATION, ZONING AND VESTED PROPERTY RIGHTS
2.1 Annexation. Annexation of the Property was accomplished in accordance with the Original Agreement
and the Colorado Municipal Annexation Act of 1965, as amended (C.R.S. §§ 31-12-101, et seq.) as in effect in 1998.
Consistent with the foregoing and in implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet, this Development Agreement
ratifies annexation of the Property.
2.2 PUD Zoning. Planned unit development (PUD) zoning of the Property was accomplished in accordance
with the Original PUD Guide. Consistent with the foregoing and in implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet, this
Development Agreement ratifies the PUD zoning of the Property pursuant to the Original PUD Guide, ratifies each
administrative and each formal amendment to the PUD Guide and/or PUD Master Plan accomplished prior to the
Effective Date, and ratifies all development that has occurred within the Property pursuant to the Original PUD Guide.
Concurrently with Recording of this Development Agreement, the Parties caused Recording of the PUD Guide.
Accordingly, the Property is zoned PUD pursuant to and as set forth in the PUD Guide.
2.3 Permitted Uses/Design Standards. The permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use,
the maximum height, bulk and size of proposed buildings, design standards, road profiles and sections, provisions for
reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, the general location of roads and trails, the ability of an Applicant
to relocate roads, trails and improvements, and other terms and conditions of development applicable to the Property
and the Project shall be those set forth in the PUD Guide and in this Development Agreement.
2.4 Vesting of Property Rights. The Original Agreement and the Original PUD Guide were Site Specific
Development Plans with respect to which the Town granted Vested Property Rights for a term of thirty-five (35) years
from the Original Effective Date. Consistent with the foregoing and in implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet,
this Development Agreement ratifies the Vested Property Rights established by the Original Agreement and the
Original PUD Guide and, as described in Section 1.4(a), extends the term of such Vested Property Rights (including
with respect to future amendments to any such Approved SSDP) through and including October 20, 2039.
Approval of the Development Plan constitutes a vested property right pursuant to Article
68 of Title 24, C.R.S., as amended, and Title 7, Chapter 16, of the Avon Municipal Code as
amended.
Accordingly, the rights identified below (collectively, the “Vested Property Rights”) are expressly ratified,
granted and approved by Town Council:
(a) The right to develop, plan and engage in land uses within the Property and the Project in the
manner and to the extent set forth in and pursuant to the Development Plan and other Approved SSDPs (if any).
(b) The right to develop, plan and engage in land uses within the Property and the Project in
accordance with the densities, physical development standards and other physical parameters set forth in the PUD
Guide and other Approved SSDPs (if any).
(c) The right to develop the Project in the order, at the rate and at the time as the applicable
Developer determines appropriate given market conditions and other factors, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Development Plan and other Approved SSDPs (if any).
(d) The right to develop and complete the development of the Project including, without limitation,
the right to receive all Town approvals necessary for the development of the Project with conditions, standards and
E-9 1001679.22 FINAL
dedications which are no more onerous than those imposed by the Town upon other developers in the Town on a
uniform, non-discriminatory and consistent basis, and subject only to the exactions and requirements set forth in the
Development Plan and other Approved SSDPs (if any); provided that such conditions, standards and dedications shall
not directly or indirectly have the effect of materially and adversely altering, impairing, preventing, diminishing,
imposing a moratorium on development, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting any of Master Developer’s, EMD’s,
Developer Affiliates’ or any other Landowner’s rights set forth in the Development Plan or other approved SSDPs (if
any).
(e) The right to prevent (by mandamus, mandatory or prohibitory injunction or other form of legal or
equitable remedy) the application to the Property or the Project of any Town or citizen initiated zoning, land use or other
legal or administrative action that would directly or indirectly have the effect of materially and adversely altering,
impairing, preventing, diminishing, imposing a moratorium on development, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting
any of Master Developer’s, EMD’s, Developer Affiliates’ or any other Landowner’s rights set forth in the Development
Plan and/or other Approved SSDPs (if any). Section 7.1 of the Town’s Charter precludes citizen-initiated measures
regarding certain matters, including the zoning or rezoning of property. In accordance with Section 7.1 of the Town’s
Charter, no initiated measure shall be permitted that would have the effect of modifying or negating the Town ordinance
by which Town Council approved implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet, Ordinance No. 12-10, or any
instrument implementing the Settlement Term Sheet as approved in Ordinance No. 12-10, including but not limited to
the Development Plan.
(f) Notwithstanding any additional or contrary provision of the Municipal Code (as in effect from
time to time), and notwithstanding any prior expiration of the Term, the Vesting Term with respect to the Development
Plan and other Approved SSDPs (if any) shall not expire, be deemed forfeited, or otherwise limited or impaired prior to
October 21, 2039. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Municipal Code (as in
effect time to time), the scope of Vested Property Rights established by the Development Plan specifically includes the
right that all amendments to the Development Plan or other Approved SSDPs (if any) approved by the Town shall be
and remain vested through and including October 20, 2039, and includes the right to retain and enjoy the remaining
period of the Vesting Term for any amendment to the Development Plan or other Approved SSDPs (if any).
Accordingly, during the Vesting Term (and notwithstanding any prior expiration of the Term) Town Council (or other
final decision-maker of the Town) shall not condition approval of any future amendment to the Development Plan or
other Approved SSDPs (if any) on, nor shall Town Council (or other final decision-maker of the Town) make any such
approval subject to the Applicant’s, Landowner’s or Master Developer’s consent to, a reduction of the then-remaining
Vesting Term.
2.5 No Obligation to Develop.
(a) Master Developer; Other Landowners. Neither Master Developer nor any Landowner shall have
any obligation arising under this Development Agreement to develop all or any portion of the Project, nor shall Master
Developer or any Landowner have any liability to the Town or any other party arising under this Development
Agreement for not developing all or any part of the Project. The Parties contemplate that the Project will be developed
in phases as generally driven by market conditions as they exist from time to time. Neither Master Developer nor any
Landowner shall have any obligation arising under this Development Agreement to develop all or any portion of any
such phase, notwithstanding the development or non-development of any other phase, and neither Master Developer nor
any Landowner shall have any liability to the Town or any other party arising under this Development Agreement for
not developing all or any portion of any such phase of the Project.
(b) Districts. The Districts’ Service Plans establish the scope of the Districts’ authorized activities
and shall not be construed to constitute an obligation of the Districts to cause the development of any particular Public
Improvements, or to provide any particular services or to perform any other function for which the Districts have
authorization, nor shall such Service Plans be construed to create any obligation of Master Developer or any Landowner
to provide any Public Improvements, any services or to otherwise pay any monies or perform any actions on behalf of or
E-10 1001679.22 FINAL
for the benefit of the Districts. No District shall have any obligation arising under this Development Agreement to
develop all or any portion of the Public Improvements, nor shall any District have any liability to the Town or any other
party arising under this Development Agreement for not developing all or any part of the Public Improvements. The
Parties contemplate that the Project will be developed in phases as generally driven by market conditions as they exist
from time to time. No District shall have any obligation arising under this Development Agreement to develop all or
any portion of the Public Improvements pertinent to any such phase, notwithstanding the development or
non-development of any Public Improvements for any other phase, and no District shall have any liability to the Town
or any other party arising under this Development Agreement for not developing all or any portion of the Public
Improvements pertinent to any such phase of the Project. The foregoing shall not be construed to relieve any District of
any obligation established pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Public Improvements Agreement that is executed by
a District as contemplated in Section 3.2(a).
(c) Construction and Interpretation. For purposes of this Section 2.5 references to Master
Developer, Landowners and the Districts shall be construed to include their respective employees, agents, members,
officers, directors, shareholders, consultants, advisors, successors, assigns and similar individuals or entities.
2.6 Compliance with General Regulations. Except as otherwise provided in the Development Plan,
the establishment of Vested Property Rights under this Development Agreement shall not preclude the application on a
uniform and non-discriminatory basis of Town ordinances and regulations of general applicability (including, but not
limited to, building, fire, plumbing, electrical and mechanical codes, the Municipal Code (as in effect on the Original
Effective Date or as amended from time to time), and other Town rules and regulations) or the application of state or
federal regulations, as all of such regulations existed on the Original Effective Date or may be enacted or amended after
the Effective Date; provided, however, that Town ordinances and regulations newly enacted or amended after the
Original Effective Date shall not directly or indirectly have the effect of adversely altering, impairing, preventing,
diminishing, imposing a moratorium on development, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting any Landowner’s
Vested Property Rights. No Landowner shall be deemed to have waived its right to oppose the enactment or amendment
of any such ordinances and regulations.
ARTICLE 3
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS; DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS; EXACTIONS
3.1 Design Review. As contemplated by the Original Agreement and as more particularly described in the
PUD Guide, the Design Review Board has been established (and, as required by the Original Agreement, includes a
member designated by the Town’s Planning and Zoning Commission), the Design Covenant has been Recorded and the
Design Review Guidelines have been promulgated. During the Term, the Design Review Board shall continue to
consist of not more than five (5) members, one (1) of whom shall be a member of the Town’s Planning and Zoning
Commission designated by the Town from time to time and the remainder of whom shall be appointed as provided in the
governing documents of the Design Review Board. The Design Covenant shall govern matters related to use and
development of all or any part of the Property. Where any conflict between the Design Review Covenant and the
Development Plan may occur, the most restrictive provision shall govern. The Design Review Board shall refer to the
Town’s Planning and Zoning Commission, for comment only and not for approval or disapproval: (A) all development
proposals submitted to the Design Review Board for portions of the Property located south of Interstate 70; (B) all
portions of the Property located north of Interstate 70 other than Planning Areas K and RMF-1 (with respect to which
the Design Review Board shall have no obligation to refer to the Town’s Planning and Zoning Commission); and (C) all
proposed amendments to the Design Covenant. At Master Developer’s option, separate design review board(s) may be
established with respect to Planning Areas RMF-1 and K. Such separate design review board(s), if any, created for
Planning Areas RMF-1 and K shall not be required to include any Town official as a member.
3.2 Allocation of Public Improvement Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Development Agreement, the timing of the design, construction and financing of the Public Improvements, as well as
the designation of the specific entity responsible for such design, construction and financing, will be addressed in the
E-11 1001679.22 FINAL
applicable Public Improvement Agreement(s) as development of the Project takes place in conjunction with the
processing of the applicable Development Application (which may or may not be a subdivision application). The
Public Improvement obligations described in this Development Agreement are intended to be allocated among, as
applicable, the Districts, Master Developer, a Developer and/or an Applicant based on the relationship between the
particular Public Improvement(s), the Site owned by the particular Developer and/or Applicant, and the nature of the
development occurring on the Site. This Development Agreement does not specifically allocate such Public
Improvement obligations, it being the Parties’ intent that the allocation will be set forth in a Public Improvement
Agreement executed in connection with the processing and approval of the applicable Development Application.
Public Improvements for which a District does not undertake to finance the design, construction, maintenance and
operation shall be undertaken by the applicable Developer and/or Applicant. All such Public Improvements, whether
undertaken by a District or undertaken by a Developer and/or Applicant, shall be undertaken and provided in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Public Improvement Agreement executed in connection with
approval of the pertinent Development Application.
(a) Role of Districts. Subject to the availability of funds therefor, District board of directors
authorization, the terms and conditions of this Development Agreement, the Districts’ respective Service Plans and state
law, and in consideration of the Town’s performance of its obligations under this Development Agreement (specifically
including but not limited to the Financing Plan), the Districts may from time to time (without obligation to do so arising
under this Development Agreement) undertake to finance the design, construction, maintenance and operation, as
applicable, of the Public Improvements as and when reasonably needed to support development of the Project.
References to Master Developer, EMD, Developer Affiliates, Developers, Landowners or Applicants in the context of
the Public Improvement obligations addressed in this Development Agreement will be construed to mean and include
by reference the applicable Districts to the extent particular Districts have undertaken such obligations pursuant to the
terms of a Public Improvement Agreement as contemplated in this Development Agreement. This Development
Agreement will not be construed as creating an implied obligation for the Districts to finance or construct any particular
Public Improvements prior to such District’s execution of a Public Improvement Agreement pursuant to which the
applicable District undertakes specific obligations regarding specific Public Improvements. Any obligation undertaken
by a District pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not be construed to constitute a multiple fiscal year obligation of such
District, but shall be subject to annual budget and appropriation unless otherwise agreed to in writing by such District.
(b) Assurance of Completion. The Applicant for any Development Application submitted after the
Effective Date will provide an improvement guarantee assuring completion of the Public Improvements as required by
the Municipal Code as then in effect (to the extent not inconsistent with an express provision of this Development
Agreement or the PUD Guide), and as more particularly described in the applicable Public Improvement Agreement to
be executed in connection with future Development Application approvals.
3.3 Public Roads and Access.
(a) General. Access, ingress and egress to, from and within the Project shall be provided as
generally described in the Development Plan. As generally described in Recital K, prior to the Execution Date TCMD
has fully performed all road construction obligations specifically required pursuant to the Original Agreement. The
PUD Master Plan graphically depicts the alignments of existing permanent roads, the alignments of existing temporary
roads, and potential conceptual alignments of some future roads. Subject to the availability of District Revenues not
pledged or otherwise encumbered by the obligations of the Districts as set forth herein or under any debt instruments
contemplated herein, one or more of the Districts may (as contemplated by and subject to the conditions described in
Section 3.2(a)) undertake to finance and/or construct the public roads within the Project. All public roads, whether
constructed by or on behalf of a District or a Developer, shall be constructed in accordance with the standards set forth
in the PUD Guide and shall be Dedicated to and Accepted by the Town in accordance with Section 3.3(b). Nothing set
forth in the preceding sentence shall prohibit or limit a Landowner’s right to construct and maintain private roads, or to
construct and Dedicate public roads to the Town or to a District (subject to the availability of sufficient District
Revenues to maintain such public roads).
E-12 1001679.22 FINAL
(b) Dedication; Acceptance and Maintenance of Public Roads and Rights-of-Way. Subject to the
specific terms and conditions set forth in Article 4 and Article 6:
(i) Existing Public Roads. Contemporaneously with the Effective Date, TCMD conveyed to
the Town all of TCMD’s right, title and interest in and to the existing public road tracts (Swift Gulch Road, Post
Boulevard, Fawcett Road and Yoder Avenue), together with the road improvements, streetscape improvements,
landscape improvements and drainage improvements located within such rights-of-way. The Town granted
Final Acceptance of all such roadways and related improvements for maintenance without reservation or
condition, whether related to warranty periods or otherwise, and released all warranty collateral related thereto.
(ii) Main Street. As of the Execution Date, the temporary alignment and road surface of East
Beaver Creek Boulevard within Lot 1 (redesignatedre-designated in the PUD Guide as Main Street) is located
within the easement established by the Easements with Covenants and Restrictions Affecting Land, dated April
24, 2002, and Recorded May 8, 2002, at Reception No. 795009, and shall not be Dedicated to the Town until
such time as each pertinent phase of the final alignment thereof is completed as more specifically set forth in the
PUD Guide. Dedication of each phase of the permanent alignment of Main Street shall be accomplished
pursuant to clause (iii) below. During the period prior to Dedication of each phase of the permanent alignment
of Main Street, the Town is and shall remain responsible for snow removal, road maintenance, streetscape
maintenance and landscape maintenance within the current East Beaver Creek Boulevard easement. The Parties
acknowledge that no streetscape or landscape improvements are located within the East Beaver Creek
Boulevard easement as of the Execution Date, but that the Town shall maintain such streetscape or landscape
improvements, if any, that may be installed after the Execution Date. Asphalt overlays shall not be required
prior to Dedication of each phase of Main Street and, as set forth in Section 4.2(d), the Town shall undertake
responsibility for asphalt overlays for each phase of Main Street only after Dedication of each such phase of
Main Street. From and after Dedication of each phase of the permanent alignment of Main Street, the terms and
conditions of clause (iii) below shall apply to such Dedicated phase.
(iii) Future Public Roads and Rights-of-Way . Future public road rights-of-way (including
future phases of the permanent alignments of Main Street and East Beaver Creek Boulevard) shall be Dedicated
to the Town by Recording of the pertinent final plat or, if acceptable to the Town, by Recording of a special
warranty deed in the form attached as Exhibit B of this Development Agreement upon generally the same terms
and conditions as the conveyances referenced in clause (i) above. Upon completion of construction, Public
Improvements located within public road rights-of-way shall be Dedicated to the Town by bill of sale.
Concurrently with the Dedication, the Town shall grant Preliminary Acceptance of the pertinent property
interests and Public Improvements. Upon expiration of the warranty period and resolution of any warranty
matters that might arise during the Preliminary Acceptance period, the Town shall grant Final Acceptance. With
respect to the primary road providing access to Planning Area K, the Town and Master Developer acknowledge
it is intended that the road will be a public road from the Post Boulevard roundabout located north of Interstate
70 to a point approximately adjacent to the northwest corner of Lot 73 as indicated on the PUD Master Plan in
effect as of the Effective Date, and will be a private road from that point through the remaining area of Planning
Area K. The final point of demarcation will be established at the timing of final subdivision plat. The Town
shall have no maintenance or snow removal responsibility for the portion of such road that is private.
(iv) Sidewalk Snow Removal. The Town’s obligation pursuant to this Development
Agreement to remove snow from sidewalks shall be limited to Post Boulevard, Main Street (in both the interim
East Beaver Creek Boulevard alignment existing as of the Execution Date and the future final Main Street
alignment), Swift Gulch Road, Fawcett Road and Yoder Avenue. Maintenance of other sidewalks along public
roads shall be in accordance with generally applicable standards set forth the Municipal Code (as amended from
time to time) and applied uniformly throughout the Town.
E-13 1001679.22 FINAL
(c) Phased Road Improvements.
(i) Generally. All roads, including Main Street and East Beaver Creek Boulevard (as such
roads are identified on the PUD Master Plan), may be developed in phases in accordance with the road standards
set forth in Exhibit F of the PUD Guide and as warranted based on the applicable traffic study.
(ii) Main Street. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, construction of the final
alignment of Main Street shall consist of converting the existing alignment and road surface from temporary to
permanent by the phased construction thereof in accordance with the road standards set forth in Exhibit F of the
PUD Guide.
(iii) East Beaver Creek Boulevard. The Town shall not require completion of East Beaver
Creek Boulevard as a through road until the earlier of: (A) such time as it becomes necessary to construct a
particular phase of East Beaver Creek Boulevard to provide a means of ingress to and egress from Sites within
Lot 1 that are undergoing vertical development and do not otherwise have access to a public street; or (B) such
time as a particular development proposal within Lot 1 requires completion of the connection in order to
preclude the impact of the approved development proposal from reducing the level of service (LOS) on Main
Street below a designation of “C” (estimated to be in the range of approximately 8,000 to 11,000 vehicle trips
per day) as established by traffic studies to be provided by a traffic engineer or firm licensed in Colorado in
connection with the particular approved development proposal. Subject to review by the Town Engineer, the
north/south alignment of East Beaver Creek Boulevard within Planning Areas C and D may be established to
include an interim or permanent connection to Main Street (e.g., East Beaver Creek Boulevard can connect to
Main Street east of Planning Area A and either continue to the roundabout at the southeast corner of Planning
Area F in an interim condition or separate from Main Street and connect to the roundabout at the northeast
corner of Planning Area F in either an interim or permanent condition) so long as the easterly (roundabout at
Post Boulevard) and westerly (where East Beaver Creek Boulevard enters the Project) connections depicted on
the PUD Master Plan are maintained and each segment of Main Street is maintained at not lower than LOS “C”
(e.g., if the traffic studies demonstrate that LOS “C” can be maintained on the easterly segment of Main Street
with an interim connection as described above, completion of the final through connection alignment of East
Beaver Creek Boulevard would not be required).
(d) Dry Utilities. In connection with the Dedication of any public road rights-of-way (whether by
special warranty deed or by final plat), including those rights-of-way Dedicated pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i) and
subject to such reserved rights, Master Developer or the pertinent Landowner shall have the right to reserve the
exclusive right to install, own, operate, maintain, repair, replace and control access to all “Dry Utilities” (as defined in
the PUD Guide) located or to be located within Dedicated public road rights-of-way; provided, however, that such
activities shall be coordinated with the Town and all such Dry Utilities shall be located in such a manner as to comply
with Town requirements regarding separation from public utilities located or to be located within such rights-of-way.
3.4 Municipal Water; Water Rights Dedications. Certain water rights have been conveyed to, or otherwise
acquired by, the Authority to be used in connection with the development of the Project and to serve uses within the
Project, including some of the water rights and historic consumptive use credits decreed in Case No. 97CW306, a prior
payment to the Authority equivalent to 200 shares in the Eagle Park Reservoir Company and contract rights to water
supplied by the Colorado River Water Conservation District (together with additional water rights, if any, Dedicated to
the Town or to the Authority for such purposes after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 3.4(c), the “Water Rights”).
Pursuant to and as more particularly described in the Tank Agreement: (i) as of the Effective Date, TCMD has
conveyed to the Town, and the Town has thereafter conveyed to the Authority, certain interests in the Water Rights; (ii)
the Water Rights conveyed to the Authority as of the Effective Date are deemed sufficient to provide potable water
service up to a maximum of 106.3 acre-feet of consumptive use per year in accordance with depletion factors decreed in
Case No. 97CW306; and (iii) as of the Effective Date, the Authority is legally obligated to issue taps and to provide the
number of single family equivalents (SFE) of potable water service to the Project that is equivalent to 106.3 acre-feet of
E-14 1001679.22 FINAL
consumptive use per year, as more fully set forth in the augmentation plan approved in Case No. 97CW306. The
amount of consumptive use attributable to potable water service pursuant to the depletion factors and other assumptions
set forth in the plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 97CW306 is calculated as 180.6 acre-feet per year less 74.3
acre-feet per year reserved by the Town for raw water irrigation and lake evaporation purposes [180.6 – 74.3 = 106.3].
The 106.3 acre-feet of consumptive use is referred to for purposes of this Section 3.4 as the “potable water allocation”
and the 74.3 acre-feet of consumptive use is referred to herein as the “raw (non-potable) water allocation.”
Additionally, the Tank Agreement provides that the Town has certain obligations with respect to providing municipal
water service to the Project under circumstances where the Authority fails to provide such services due to dissolution or
otherwise.
(a) Water Bank. Master Developer and the Town shall establish and jointly maintain a cumulative
written record (the “Water Bank”) that documents: (i) the total Water Rights, stated as the total “potable water
allocation” and the total “raw (non-potable) water allocation;” (ii) the specific portion of the “potable water allocation”
that is assigned to particular Sites; (iii) the specific portion of the “raw (non-potable) water allocation” that is assigned
to each parcel of irrigated area or lake surface for evaporation replacement within the Property (including such raw
water uses as the Town has agreed to serve pursuant to this Development Agreement and the Tank Agreement) and (iv)
the “potable water allocation” and the “raw (non-potable) water allocation” remaining available to be assigned for use
within the Property. In connection with each final subdivision plat for a Site (whether processed administratively or
formally) or building permit (if no water allocation, or insufficient water allocation, has previously been assigned to
such Site), and subject to Subsection 3.4(c), Master Developer shall designate the portion of the “potable water
allocation” and the “raw (non-potable) water allocation” that is assigned for development of the Site, and concurrently
with approval of the pertinent final subdivision plat (or issuance of the pertinent building permit(s)) the Water Bank
shall be updated to reflect such allocation and to reflect the corresponding reduction in the “potable water allocation”
and the “raw (non-potable) water allocation” remaining available for use within the Property. Lot 1 as it is configured
on the Effective Date shall be exempt from the foregoing requirement, but parcels within Lot 1 that are created by
further subdivision of Lot 1 for purposes of development shall be subject to the foregoing requirement. The amount of
consumptive use required to service development shall be based on the estimated demand, depletion factors and other
assumptions set forth in the plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 97CW306.
(b) Return of Water Rights to Water Bank. If the amount of the “potable water allocation” and the
“raw (non-potable) water allocation” assigned for any particular Site exceeds the amount of the “potable water
allocation” and the “raw (non-potable) water allocation” actually required to serve the Site based upon actual
development and final build-out thereof (such actual “potable water allocation” and “raw (non-potable) water
allocation” demand to be determined in accordance with generally applicable requirements of the Authority and in
accordance with the depletion factors decreed in Case No. 97CW306), the excess and unused portion of such water
allocation shall be returned to the Water Bank and the Water Bank shall be revised to reflect that such excess and unused
portion of such water allocation is available for assignment and is no longer assigned to the original Site. Excess and
unused water allocation amounts returned to the Water Bank shall be available for allocation in accordance with Section
3.4(a) as though such water allocation amounts had not previously been allocated from the Water Bank to serve a
particular Site. The determination of excess portion of any water allocation shall be determined by the Town and
subject to the approval of the Authority, pursuant to their respective generally applicable requirements, and shall be
based on consumptive use of the final build-out of any Site in accordance with the depletion factors and other provisions
of the decree in Case No. 97CW306. The Town may require water usage restrictions or maintenance requirements to
prevent any future increase of consumptive water use above the amount determined necessary to serve the final
build-out of any Site.
(c) Additional Water Rights.
(i) For the Property. Full build out of the Project as contemplated by the Development Plan
may require in excess of 180.6 acre-feet of consumptive use. If the aggregate total Water Rights is insufficient
to support full development of the Project in accordance with the decree in Case No. 97CW306 and the PUD
E-15 1001679.22 FINAL
Guide, and all available water allocations under the Water Rights have been assigned to Sites (whether
developed or undeveloped) such that there is no water allocation remaining in the Water Bank, no further
development may occur within the Property unless and until, with respect to the water allocation required to
support such further development: (A) additional water rights are Dedicated resulting in additional water
allocation amounts being available for assignment pursuant to the Water Bank; or (B) payment is made of fees in
lieu of additional water rights Dedication; or (C) previously allocated but unused water allocation amounts are
re-assigned from the original Site, and/or from raw (non-potable) water uses to potable uses, and returned to the
Water Bank in accordance with Section 3.4(b). Acceptance of fees in lieu of additional water rights Dedication
shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Town.
(ii) For a Specific Site. If the water allocation amounts assigned to a Site in connection with
a Development Application are not sufficient to serve the level of development proposed in the Development
Application, the Town may condition approval of the Development Application on the Applicant satisfying the
water allocation requirements for the Development Application by one or a combination of: (A) obtaining
Master Developer’s allocation of additional water allocation amounts from the Water Bank; (B) Dedicating such
additional water rights (meeting the generally applicable requirements of the Authority and the Town) as may be
required to support the proposed level of development; or (C) paying such fees-in-lieu of water rights
Dedication as may be required to fully satisfy the water allocation amounts requirement for the Development
Application. The Dedication of additional water rights and the payment of fees-in-lieu of water rights
Dedication shall be subject to review by the Town in accordance with the Municipal Code, and subject to
approval by the Authority or its successor. Under such circumstances, the additional water rights Dedication or
payment of fees-in-lieu shall be a condition precedent to, as applicable, issuance of the building permit or
Recording of the final subdivision plat.
(iii) Under the circumstances addressed in the foregoing clause (i) and clause (ii), which
provisions shall be strictly construed against precluding development, the Town shall have no obligation to
Record a final subdivision plat or issue a building permit with respect to a particular Site unless the requisite
additional water allocation amounts obligation is satisfied in accordance with this Section 3.4(c). The
determination of whether Dedication of additional water rights or payment of fees in lieu shall be in accordance
with generally applicable rules and regulations of the Authority and the Town. Dedications of water rights, if
required, shall be made in accordance with generally applicable Town rules, regulations and agreements with
the Authority as in effect from time to time, it being acknowledged that the Town’s generally applicable rules,
regulations and agreements with the Authority in effect as of the Effective Date require Dedication to the Town
and conveyance of such water rights by the Town to the Authority.
(d) Building Permits; Moratoria. The Town shall not withhold issuance of building permits,
certificates of occupancy or processing/approval of Development Applications, nor shall the Town impose or enforce
any moratorium on development within the Project, on the basis of insufficient Dedication of water rights for
development which does not exceed the consumptive use of the water rights that have been Dedicated pursuant to the
Tank Agreement (or which does not exceed the consumptive use of any such additional water rights that may
subsequently be Dedicated or otherwise conveyed) at such time.
(e) Additional Water Tanks. If TCMD, VMD, any Applicant or any other party undertakes to
construct one or more water storage tanks at an elevation higher than the water storage tank to be constructed pursuant
to the Tank Agreement, and notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Municipal Code (as in effect from time to
time), the Town shall not require the Applicant to seek a 1041 permit and shall not require the tank site to be a legally
subdivided parcel (provided the owner of the water storage tank has an easement for the operation and maintenance
thereof, and further provided that the Town may require the tank site easement area to be platted at such time as the
pertinent lot(s) or tract(s) within Planning Area K are platted). If construction of any such water storage tank is
undertaken independent and in advance of development of the portion of the property to be served by the water storage
tank, the Town shall not require execution of a Public Improvement Agreement or monetary collateral (cash escrow,
E-16 1001679.22 FINAL
letter of credit or similar mechanism) for assurance of completion of the water storage tank; provided, however, that the
Town may require a bond for the purpose of ensuring erosion control, mitigation of safety hazards, fencing and other
matters related to properly securing the site if construction is discontinued indefinitely prior to completion. If
construction of any such water storage tank is undertaken as a condition of approval of a Development Application for
development of a Site with respect to which service will be required to be provided from the to be constructed water
storage tank, the Town may require construction of the water storage tank and assurance of completion thereof pursuant
to the terms and conditions of a Public Improvement Agreement as otherwise provided in this Development Agreement.
The Town shall have no obligation to issue a temporary or final certificate of occupancy for a habitable structure within
any Site with respect to which water service cannot be provided without such water storage tank becoming operational
until such time as the pertinent water storage tank becomes operational. The foregoing shall not preclude the Town
from issuing a building permit prior to completion of such a water storage tank if the Town determines such action to be
consistent with public health, safety and welfare under circumstances then pertaining (for example, the water storage
tank is reasonably anticipated to be operational prior to completion of the improvements for which the building permit is
issued and the issuance of the building permit is conditioned on the water storage tank becoming operational prior to
issuance of a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy).
(f) Tap Fees; Town Obligations Upon Assuming Authority Obligations. If the Town undertakes to
provide water service to the Property in connection with dissolution of the Authority or otherwise, the Town shall
charge water tap fees and usage charges to users within the Property on a uniform, non-discriminatory basis with other
users within the Town. The Town shall remit monthly to TCMD,With respect to such water tap fees collected by the
Town for providing water service to any user within the Property, the Town shall remit 100% of such all such fees on a
monthly basis: (A) if collected during the 2013 Bond Repayment Period [Kutak to provide definition of this term
(defined term may be other than 2013 Bond Repayment Period) to reflect period w/in which VMD is issuer and
obligations to BNP remain unperformed], to VMD or to TCMD, as required by the 2013 Reissue Documents during
the 2013 Bond Repayment Period; or (B) if collected after expiration of the 2013 Bond Repayment Period, either (1) to
TCMD, or, (2) if the Town receives written notice from TCMD disclaiming an interest in all or a portion of such fees for
a stated period of time and so directing the Town, the stated portion to VMD during the stated period, the stated portion
to TCMD during and after the stated period, and in any event in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
such written notice. The Town’s obligation to remit such water tap fees pursuant to this Section 3.4(f) shall be subject to
annual appropriation to the extent required by Section 20 of Article X of the Colorado Constitution, 100% of all water
tap fees collected by the Town with respect to providing water service to any user of the Property. Alternatively, the
Town may direct that all such users remit water tap fees directly to TCMD and or VMD in accordance with clauses (A)
and (B) above. The Town expressly disclaims any right, title or interest in or to any water tap fees payable in connection
with development within the Property, and acknowledges that all such water tap fees constitute District Revenues and,
are the property of, and shall be due and payable to, TCMD and/or VMD in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above.
3.5 Sanitary Sewer. The Sanitation District, rather than the Town, provides sanitary sewer service to the
Project. The topography of Planning Area K, the size of the lots contained in Planning Area K, the relative remoteness
of Planning Area K from the rest of the Project and from the facilities of the Sanitation District, together with the
comparative ease of servicing Planning Area K with individual septic tank and leach field systems, render all or
designated areas within Planning Area K appropriate for exclusion from the Sanitation District. Accordingly, the Town
will not oppose the proposed exclusion from the Sanitation District of all or any part of Planning Area K, whether
initiated by Master Developer or the Developer of such portion of Planning Area K.
3.6 Drainage Plans; Stormwater Management. Drainage plans and stormwater management plans required
in connection with the processing of any Development Application shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the PUD Guide. Without limitation of the foregoing, in processing any Development Application, the Town shall
incorporate the assumptions of the drainage study prepared by David Johnson for the Property with respect to reducing
the calculated stormwater flows, management and detention requirements based on the mitigating effect of vegetation
within the Property, and the assumptions set forth therein shall govern and control over any conflicting provisions or
assumptions in the Town’s drainage master plan. However, if the Town amends its drainage master plan, which
E-17 1001679.22 FINAL
amendment results in less restrictive or less burdensome provisions than set forth in the David Johnson drainage study,
such less restrictive or less burdensome provisions in the Town’s drainage master plan shall apply to the Property.
3.7 Land Dedications. As generally described in Recital K, prior to the Execution Date the pertinent
Landowner fully performed certain land Dedication obligations specifically required to be performed pursuant to the
Original Agreement, and all such Dedications shall be deemed to have been granted Final Acceptance. This Section 3.7
sets forth the sole unperformed and/or additional obligations of Master Developer, EMD, the Developer Affiliates, or
any pertinent Landowner to Dedicate land (subject, however, to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.9(b), if applicable),
and the assumptions underlying the Finance Plan are expressly based upon and reliant on the specific land Dedication
requirements set forth in this Section 3.7. Accordingly, except as otherwise set forth below, during the Term and
notwithstanding any current or future provision of the Municipal Code to the contrary (except pursuant to Section
3.9(b), if applicable), the Town shall not impose any land Dedication requirement, impact fee requirement or
development exaction of any sort, except for the following, the performance of which together with prior land
dedications and related exactions fully satisfies and extinguishes any dedication, impact fee and/or development
exaction obligations pertaining to or in connection with development of the Project:
(a) School Site Dedication. The Original Agreement set forth certain requirements regarding the
Dedication of land or cash in lieu thereof to address the impact of the Project on the school system. Pursuant to the
Settlement Term Sheet, the school site provision of the Original Agreement has been modified as set forth in this
Section 3.7(a) and, as of the Effective Date, Ordinance No. 06-17 and all conditions and restrictions set forth therein are
rendered legally inoperative, void and of no further force or effect.
(i) Parcels to be Conveyed. The following conveyances (collectively, the “School Site
Dedication”) shall constitute full satisfaction of all requirements under the Municipal Code (as in effect from
time to time) and other current or future Town regulations with respect to mitigation of the Project’s impact on
the school system:
(A) Concurrently with the Effective Date, TC-RP conveyed to the Town the
approximately 3.536 acre Site designated on the PUD Master Plan as Planning Area E (i.e., Lot 3, The
Second Amended Final Plat, Amended Final Plat, The Village (at Avon) Filing 1, a Resubdivision of Lot
1 (as Recorded on the Effective Date)). Neither TC-RP, Master Developer, TCMD, VMD, any
Developer Affiliate nor any Landowner (other than the Town or a state accredited educational entity to
which the Town has conveyed such Site) shall have any obligation with respect to provision of any
Public Improvements or other on-site or off-site improvements for Planning Area E, all such obligations
being the sole responsibility of the Town. Accordingly, the Town hereby grants Final Acceptance with
respect to Dedication of Planning Area E.
(B) EMD (or the Landowner at the pertinent time), shall Dedicate to the Town an
approximately 3.764 acre Site within Planning Area I upon Recording of the initial final subdivision plat
within Planning Area I. Neither EMD (or the then-Landowner), TCLLC, TCMD, VMD, any Developer
Affiliate, or any other Landowner (other than the Town or a state accredited educational entity to which
the Town has conveyed such Site) shall have any obligation with respect to provision of any Public
Improvements for the approximately 3.764 acre Site within Planning Area I. Accordingly, the Town
shall grant Final Acceptance with respect to Dedication of the Planning Area I Site concurrently with
Recording of the conveyance documents and no Acceptance, assurance of completion requirement or
warranty period requirements shall apply. Access to the Planning Area I Site from a public street and
extension of utilities and other Public Improvements shall be addressed through the final subdivision plat
process.
(ii) Use Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Municipal
Code (as in effect from time to time) or any other statute, ordinance, regulation or the like, use of the School Site
E-18 1001679.22 FINAL
Dedication parcels shall be restricted to state accredited education facilities serving grades K through 12 (or any
portion of such grades). Each special warranty deed conveying a School Site Dedication parcel shall incorporate
the foregoing use restriction, which use restriction shall be independently enforceable as a deed restriction and
not merged into or construed to preclude enforcement of the use restriction imposed by this Section 3.7(a)(ii).
Any use of the School Site Dedication parcels shall be subject to prior approval by the Design Review Board,
including potential future uses including but not limited to pre-school, day care, community education, cultural,
and/or are classes, museum, or recreational.
(iii) Form of Conveyance. Conveyance of the Planning Area I School Site Dedication parcel
shall be by special warranty deed in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Development Agreement, shall be
without any reversionary clause, subject to all matters of Record other than monetary liens, and shall contain an
express use restriction consistent with the foregoing Section 3.7(a)(ii). Conveyance of the Planning Area E
School Site Dedication parcel was effected by Recording of a special warranty deed in the form attached as
Exhibit B to this Development Agreement, without any reversionary clause, subject to all matters of Record
other than monetary liens, and containing an express use restriction consistent with the foregoing Section
3.7(a)(ii).
(iv) Additional Conditions.
(A) Any use undertaken and any improvements constructed or installed within the
School Site Dedication parcels shall comply with the terms of the Development Plan and shall be subject
to review and approval by the Design Review Board. Prior to development of the School Site Dedication
parcels for school purposes, the Town shall be responsible for installing and maintaining any
improvements permitted to be made within the School Site Dedication parcels in accordance with the use
restriction referenced in Section 3.7(a)(ii). After Dedication of the School Site Dedication parcels to the
Town, the Town shall be responsible for controlling all noxious weeds within the School Site Dedication
parcels.
(B) If Eagle County School District demonstrates a need for a school site within the
Project based on the impact of development within the Project, the Town, Master Developer and EMD
shall use best efforts to combine the park land dedications contemplated in Section 3.7(d) with the
Planning Area I School Site Dedication parcel to create a consolidated site of sufficient size to meet the
reasonable needs of the Eagle County School District. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to
have the effect of: (i) creating a legal right of Eagle County School District to obtain a school site within
Planning Area I or any other area of the Property; (ii) creating any legal obligation of the Town, EMD,
Master Developer or any Landowner or Applicant to provide a school site on Planning Area I or any
other area of the Property to the Eagle County School District; or (iii) creating a legal obligation of the
Town, EMD, Master Developer, any Landowner or any Applicant to combine the park land Dedication
with the Planning Area I School Site Dedication parcel. Eagle County School District shall not be
construed to be, and the Parties expressly intend that Eagle County School District shall not be, an
Intended Beneficiary.
(C) The Town may lease or convey such School Site Dedication parcels to
educational districts or organizations upon such terms as the Town determines in its sole discretion
provided that: (i) such lease or conveyance shall be for nominal consideration; and (ii) such lease or
conveyance shall be expressly subject to the use restriction established pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(ii) and
the applicable deed restriction as contemplated by Section 3.7(a)(iii).
(b) Dedication of Planning Area B. Concurrently with the Effective Date, TC-RP has conveyed to
the Town the approximately 4.1 acre Site designated on the PUD Master Plan as Planning Area B (i.e., Lot 2, The
Second Amended Final Plat, Amended Final Plat, The Village (at Avon) Filing 1, a Resubdivision of Lot 1 (as Recorded
E-19 1001679.22 FINAL
on the Effective Date)). Neither TC-RP, Master Developer, TCMD, VMD nor any Landowner (other than the Town)
shall have any obligation with respect to provision of any Public Improvements or other on-site or off-site
improvements for Planning Area B, all such obligations being the sole responsibility of the Town and not of AURA.
Accordingly, the Town hereby grants Final Acceptance with respect to Dedication of Planning Area B. Any
construction of buildings or facilities or landscaping improvements on Planning Area B, or any Public Improvements
required in connection with the Town’s development of Planning Area B, shall be subject to prior approval by the
Design Review Board. The Town may create a plan for the development and use of Planning Area B, which may be
adopted by the Design Review Board, and which shall then serve as a guide for review of uses and development of
Planning Area B by the Design Review Board. Any use or plan for use of Planning Area B shall allow and incorporate
the ability to construct for storage and/or augmentation purposes a water feature which can provide at least 2 acre feet of
water storage (which shall not exceed a total surface area of 0.6 acres, including inflow and outflow on Planning Area
B). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Town shall have the right to maintain and operate as public open space
all or a portion of Planning Area B which is not yet developed in accordance with this Section. Pursuant to the PUD
Guide, the Town shall administratively process and approve subdivision re-platting of Planning Area B to adjust the
boundary of Planning Area B in connection with final development of an adjacent Planning Area. The Town shall not
unreasonably deny, condition or delay final action with respect to a Development Application to administratively re-plat
Planning Areas B as provided herein. Until such time as Planning Area B is developed or improvements are constructed
thereupon that preclude use of Planning Area B for snow storage, the Town and Master Developer (or its assignee(s))
shall have the right to use Planning Area B for snow storage in accordance with the terms of the Revocable License
Agreement.
(c) Planning Areas OS-5 and OS-6. EMD (or the Landowner at the pertinent time) shall convey
Planning Areas OS-5 and OS-6 to the Town concurrently with Recording of the initial final subdivision plat for
Planning Area I. Neither EMD (or the then-Landowner), Master Developer, VMD nor TCMD shall have any obligation
with respect to provision of any Public Improvements for Planning Areas OS-5 and OS-6. Accordingly, the Town shall
grant Final Acceptance with respect to Dedication of Planning Areas OS-5 and OS-6 concurrently with Recording of the
conveyance documents and no Preliminary Acceptance or warranty period requirement shall apply. Such conveyance
shall be by special warranty deed in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Development Agreement, and shall reserve to
grantor (or its assigns, including a District) the right to construct a vehicle/pedestrian bridge crossing across Planning
Areas OS-5 and/or OS-6 including the ability to construct and maintain bridge abutments and appurtenant roadways.
Planning Areas OS-5 and OS-6 shall be conveyed without any reversionary clause, subject to all matters of Record other
than monetary liens. The deed shall contain an express use restriction limiting use of the sites to open space and no
other purposes (except those uses reserved to grantor as provided above). The Town shall be responsible for installing
and maintaining all improvements to be made within the open space parcels (other than those improvements grantor
may cause to be installed per the reservation described above). After Dedication to the Town, the Town shall be
responsible for controlling all noxious weeds within the open space parcels. Any improvements to be located within
Planning Areas OS-5 and/or OS-6 shall be subject to Design Review Board review and approval.
(d) Park Site Within Planning Area I, J and/or K. As determined by Master Developer in its sole
discretion, Master Developer shall cause the pertinent Developer Affiliate to Dedicate, or EMD (or the Landowner at
the pertinent time) shall Dedicate, 5.8 acres of park land to be located within Planning Area I, J and/or K. After
Dedication, the Town shall be responsible for improving and maintaining the park lands Dedicated pursuant to this
Section 3.7(d) in the Town’s sole discretion with regard to timing and appropriations. Neither the then-Landowner,
Master Developer, VMD nor TCMD shall have any obligation with respect to provision of any Public Improvements
for, or otherwise to improve, such Dedicated park land acreage. Accordingly, the Town shall grant Final Acceptance
with respect to Dedication of the park land acreage concurrently with Recording of the conveyance documents and no
Preliminary Acceptance or warranty period requirement shall apply. The foregoing obligation may be accomplished by
one or more conveyances totaling not less than 5.8 acres in the aggregate. Such conveyance(s) shall be by special
warranty deed in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Development Agreement, without any reversionary clause,
subject to all matters of Record other than monetary liens. The deed(s) shall contain an express use restriction limiting
E-20 1001679.22 FINAL
use of the Site(s) to, as applicable to the particular Site, public park purposes and no other purposes, but which may
include trail heads, trail connections, dog park, or natural park (i.e., wetland/natural resource protection area, hillside
slopes, view planes, streambed/buffer and similar natural condition preservation areas). The Town shall be responsible
for installing and maintaining all improvements to be made within the park site(s), and for controlling all noxious weeds
within the park site(s).
3.8 Exactions, Fees and Payments. As generally described in Recital K, prior to the Execution Date
development exactions, fees and payments required to be performed and/or made pursuant to the Original Agreement
were fully or partially performed and, to the extent partially performed are hereby waived and extinguished pursuant to
the Settlement Term Sheet and this Development Agreement. This Section 3.8 sets forth the sole and exclusive
obligations and requirements with respect to exactions, impact fees and payments required in connection with
development of the Project during the Term (subject, however, to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.9(b), if applicable),
and the assumptions underlying the Finance Plan are expressly based upon and reliant on the specific land Dedication
requirements set forth in Section 3.7. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any current or future provision of the
Municipal Code (except pursuant to Section 3.9(b), if applicable), the Town shall not impose exactions or fees upon
development within the Property for impacts related to schools, fire protection, emergency services, municipal
facilities, public transit, municipal parks or open space which are in addition to the exactions, fees and payments
described in this Development Agreement and/or the PUD Guide, or which have been previously paid or performed
under the Original Agreement (such exactions, fees and payments fully satisfying and extinguishing any impact fee
and/or development exaction obligations in connection with development of the Project).
3.9 Other Generally Applicable Taxes, Assessments and Fees.
(a) General. All current and future taxes, and all current and future assessments and fees (other than
the exactions, development impact fees and payments addressed by Section 3.8), imposed by the Town on a uniform
and non-discriminatory basis within the Town and not expressly addressed in this Development Agreement or in the
PUD Guide shall apply in the same manner and to the same extent within the Property as within the rest of the Town.
(b) Density Increases by PUD Guide Amendment. The land dedication obligations set forth in
Section 3.7 and the exaction, fee and payment obligations set forth in Section 3.8 are, as stated in such provisions, the
sole and exclusive obligations with respect to such matters; provided, however, that such obligations are predicated on
the maximum residential and commercial densities permitted by the PUD Guide in effect as of the Effective Date
(including the minimum residential and commercial densities set forth therein for Planning Area I). Accordingly, to the
extent the PUD Guide in effect as of the Effective Date is amended after the Effective Date to increase the maximum
commercial and/or residential densities permitted by the PUD Guide (as so amended), the Town shall have the right to
evaluate the impacts of such increased densities and to condition approval of such PUD Guide amendment on the
imposition of additional land dedication and/or exaction, fee or payment obligations that correspond to the increment of
increased density approved in such amendment. The additional requirements, if any, shall be based on the Municipal
Code requirements in effect as of the submittal date of the pertinent PUD Guide amendment as applied only to the
increment of increased density approved in such PUD Guide amendment. By way of example, if a PUD Guide
amendment is approved which increases the maximum commercial density within the Project by 100,000 square feet,
the maximum additional obligation with respect to matters addressed in Sections 3.7 and 3.8 shall be limited to what
would be required to mitigate 100,000 square feet of commercial density under the Municipal Code requirements in
effect on the submittal date of the PUD Guide amendment application. With respect to Planning Area I, any future PUD
Guide amendment which establishes the minimum residential and commercial densities stated in the PUD Guide in
effect as of the Effective Date shall not result in the imposition of any additional obligations with respect to matters
addressed in Sections 3.7 and 3.8, but any amendment which has the effect of approving commercial or residential
densities for Planning Area I in excess of the minimum densities stated in the PUD Guide in effect as of the Effective
Date may require additional mitigation for the increment of increased density in the manner described above.
E-21 1001679.22 FINAL
3.10 Prioritized Capital Projects. The Parties have identified the subset of Public Improvements set forth in
Exhibit D (the “Prioritized Capital Projects”) as having particularly high value in supporting and encouraging the
types of development within the areas of the Project that would produce relatively greater District Revenue and
Municipal Payment revenues, at relatively less Public Improvement cost, and at a relatively earlier point in the
development sequence. It is the Parties’ intent that, subject to market conditions and the terms and conditions of this
Development Agreement (including but not limited to Sections 2.5 and 3.3), priority will be placed on supporting and
encouraging investment in the Prioritized Capital Projects in order to support and encourage development to occur
within Planning Areas A, C, D, F and J such that the Supplemental Bond capacity available pursuant to the Financing
Plan is utilized to encourage development that has a relatively greater probability of producing relatively greater
increases in District Revenue and Municipal Payments. Accordingly, unless the Town and Master Developer agree
otherwise in writing, the following requirements shall be binding:
(a) East Beaver Creek Boulevard. Until such time as AURA has fully funded completion of East
Beaver Creek Boulevard as contemplated by Section 6.7(g)(i) or such earlier time as East Beaver Creek Boulevard has
been completed as a through road, $6,200,000 (adjusted as stated below) of the Credit PIF Cap shall be reserved to fund
completion of East Beaver Creek Boulevard in its permanent alignment in the manner contemplated by and subject to
the terms, conditions, phasing, design standards and construction timing obligations set forth in the PUD Guide and

6.3 Assessment of Public Improvement Fees. Pursuant to the PIF Covenants and as contemplated in the
Original Agreement, the PICs have imposed and shall continue for the duration of the Term to impose the Credit PIF and
collect the Credit PIF Revenues in accordance with the terms and conditions of the PIF Covenants and applicable
provisions of this Development Agreement. Pursuant to the PIF Covenants and in implementation of the Settlement
Term Sheet, the PICs have imposed and shall continue for the duration of the Term to impose the Add-On RSF and to
collect the Add-On RSF Revenues in accordance with the terms and conditions of the PIF Covenants and applicable
provisions of this Development Agreement.
(a) Town Real Estate Transfer Tax. In full settlement of any and all claims that could be raised or
asserted regarding whether the Town’s real estate transfer tax and the PICs’ Real Estate Transfer Fee apply to the leases
pursuant to which Home Depot and Wal-Mart occupy their present locations within the Project as of the Execution Date
or to apply to any extension(s) of such leases:
(i) Existing Wal-Mart and Home Depot Leases. The Town’s real estate transfer tax shall not
be construed to apply to the leases pursuant to which Home Depot and Wal-Mart occupy their present locations
within the Project as of the Execution Date or to apply to the election of lessee to exercise its rights to extend
such leases in accordance with the terms of the respective original lease documents as in effect on the Execution
Date.
(ii) Waiver of Claims. Accordingly, the Town hereby fully and irrevocably waives any and
all claim or right to impose its real estate transfer tax, and the Commercial PIC hereby fully and irrevocably
E-31 1001679.22 FINAL
waives any and all claim or right to impose the Real Estate Transfer Fee, upon the existing leases (together with
extensions and options to extend thereunder) for Wal-Mart and Home Depot.
(iii) Applicability of Municipal Code. Contemporaneously with the Execution Date, the
Town has adopted Ordinance No. 12-11, pursuant to which it has, effective on the Effective Date, amended
Chapter 3.12 of the Municipal Code to clarify various matters relating to the circumstances under which a long
term lease constitutes a Taxable Transaction for purposes of triggering an obligation to pay the Town’s real
estate transfer tax. During the Term, imposition and collection of the Real Estate Transfer Fee shall be
administered based Chapter 3.12 of the Municipal Code as amended by Ordinance No. 12-11 (in the form and in
substance as adopted contemporaneously with the Execution Date) and in effect on the Effective Date.
Transactions subject to the Town’s real estate transfer tax shall be subject to the Real Estate Transfer Fee, and
payment of the Real Estate Transfer Fee shall result in the automatic and simultaneous application of the Tax
Credit. The Real Estate Transfer Fee shall not be construed to be part of the Taxable Transaction, and the Town
shall not apply its real estate transfer tax to the Real Estate Transfer Fee. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Town is legally required pursuant to state statute to impose and collect its Real Estate Transfer Tax on the Real
Estate Transfer Fee during the Term, the Town shall remit to TCMD,100% of the Real Estate Transfer Tax
revenues actually collected to: (A) VMD or to TCMD, as required by the 2013 Reissue Documents during the
2013 Bond Repayment Period [conform use of defined term]; or (B) TCMD after expiration of the 2013 Bond
Repayment Period (unless such revenues are subject to a pledge by VMD in connection with District Debts
issued or incurred by VMD pursuant to the Financing Plan, and in such case to VMD). The Town’s obligation to
remit such revenues pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) shall be subject to annual appropriation to the
extent required by Section 20 of Article X of the Colorado Constitution, 100% of the Real Estate Transfer Tax
revenues actually collected. During the Term, no amendment to Ordinance No. 12--11 or to Chapter 3.12 of the
Municipal Code shall apply to real estate transactions occurring within the Property except with the prior written
consent of Master Developer.
(iv) Applicability to Lease Amendments. The exemption and waivers of applicability of the
Town’s real estate transfer tax to long term leases executed prior to the Execution Date also shall apply to any
amendment to a long term lease that is executed after the Execution Date that does not have the effect of
extending the term of such lease. With respect only to amendments or modifications of such existing leases that
have the effect of extending the term for a period in excess of 25 years or adding new options to extend the term
for a period in excess of 25 years: (A) the Town’s real estate transfer tax shall apply to such 25 year or greater
extension period to the extent required by application of Ordinance No. 12-11; (B) the consideration upon which
the Town’s real estate transfer tax calculation is based shall be based only upon the lease payments (exclusive of
common area maintenance, taxes, insurance and similar costs) for the period of the extension greater than 25
years (i.e., the original term of such lease, inclusive of all extension rights thereunder, shall be disregarded such
that there is no “look back” beyond the date of the extension which triggers the real estate transfer tax
obligation); (C) the Tax Credit shall apply to such lease extensions with respect to which the real estate transfer
tax otherwise would apply such that the PICs shall impose and collect the Real Estate Transfer Fee and the Town
shall collect no real estate transfer tax as otherwise provided in this Agreement, subject to Section 6.18; and (D)
the Town and the PICs shall coordinate in advance to establish an agreed upon methodology for calculating the
amount and timing of Real Estate Transfer Fee payments due with respect to lease term extensions with respect
to which the Town’s real estate transfer tax otherwise would apply.
(b) Internet, Mail Order and Similar Remote Taxable Transactions. The Parties intend that retail
sales transactions effected remotely should be subject to the Credit PIF and the Tax Credit whether such remote
transactions are effected via the internet, by mail order or otherwise delivered into the Project such that the transaction is
a Taxable Transaction. However, due to logistical and practical impediments to causing the Credit PIF and the Tax
Credit to attach to such transactions or otherwise tracking and allocating such revenues, it has not heretofore been
possible to effect the Financing Plan with respect to such remote transactions. The Parties further recognize that
national and state laws and business practices of retailers regarding imposition of state and local sales tax are evolving
E-32 1001679.22 FINAL
and soon may require retailers to identify and report the address of the point of purchase for internet based retail sales.
The Town agrees that if and when address information of the point of sale for retailers is available to the Town such that
the Town can determine the internet based retail sales specifically attributable to points of purchase within the Village
(at Avon) for which sales taxes are imposed and collected (or another mechanism is identified), the Town shall use best
efforts to cooperate with the PICs to impose the Retail Sales Fee and Add-On RSF if possible or, in the alternative if
imposition of such fees is not possible, the Town shall cooperate with the PICs to impose, collect and remit the Town’s
retail sales tax to the PICs in accordance with Section 6.18. If the Parties identify a method of implementing the intent
of this Section 6.3(b), such method may be implemented without the requirement of an amendment to this Development
Agreement.
6.4 Rate of Public Improvement Fees. In implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet, the rates of the
Public Improvement Fees shall be established as set forth in the PIF Covenants, which require such rates to be set from
time to time during the Term at:
(a) Credit PIF Rates:
(i) Retail Sales Fee. Except to the extent of an increased sales tax rate approved by the Town
for a specific project as set forth in Section 6.4(b)(ii), the same rate as the corresponding Town sales tax rate as in
effect from time to time. As of the Execution Date, the Town sales tax and the Retail Sales Fee each are set at the
rate of 4.0%.
(ii) Real Estate Transfer Fee. The same rate as the corresponding Town real estate transfer
tax rate as in effect from time to time. As of the Execution Date, the Town real estate transfer tax and the Real
Estate Transfer Fee each are set at the rate of 2.0%.
(iii) Accommodations/Lodging Fee. Except to the extent of an increased
accommodations/lodging tax rate approved by the Town for a specific project as set forth in Section 6.4(b)(ii),
the same rate as the corresponding Town accommodations/lodging tax rate as in effect from time to time. As of
the Execution Date, the Town accommodations/lodging tax and the Accommodations/Lodging Fee each are set
at the rate of 4.0%.
(iv) Use Tax. If the Town imposes any use tax on building materials during the Term that is
not in effect as of the Execution Date, such use tax shall be automatically incorporated into the definition of
Taxable Transaction set forth in Exhibit F without the need of any formal action by the Town. The PICs may
establish and impose a building materials use fee, which shall be included in the definition of Credit PIF,
corresponding to such use tax and applying to the same transactions and at the same rate as such use tax. The
Town may amend its Municipal Code to reflect the automatic Tax Credit for use tax as set forth in this
sub-section, but such an amendment shall not be required to implement the automatic Tax Credit. The Parties
and any party obligated to pay, collect or remit such use tax shall be entitled to rely and act upon the Tax Credit
being applied to such transactions in order to offset the effect of the Credit PIF in the same manner and to the
same extent as the Tax Credit applies to retail sales transactions, real estate transfer transactions and
accommodations/lodging transactions. Prior to adopting any such use tax, the Town shall coordinate with the
PICs and other Parties regarding the implementation of any such use taxes and application of the Tax Credit
thereto. The Credit PIF imposed and collected on such Taxable Transactions shall not be deemed to be part of
such Taxable Transaction and shall not be subject to application of the corresponding Town use tax.
(b) Add-On RSF Rate. As of the Effective Date, the PICs have set the Add-On RSF rate at 0.75%, to
be applied only with respect to retail sales transactions that are Taxable Transactions. The net proceeds (i.e., after
payment of the fees to the Add-On RSF Collection Agent pursuant to the Add-On RSF Collection Services Agreement
and application of any other adjustments to such revenues as set forth in this Development Agreement and/or the
E-33 1001679.22 FINAL
Add-On PIF Collection Services Agreement) of the Add-On RSF Revenues resulting from imposition of the foregoing
0.75% rate to retail sales transactions that are Taxable Transactions shall constitute the Municipal Payments.
(i) Increase in Town Sales Tax Rate. If the Town increases the Town’s retail sales tax rate
above 4.0 % during any period for which Municipal Payments are to be remitted to the Town, the portion of the
Add-On RSF Revenues which will be construed to be Municipal Payments shall be reduced in the same degree
as any Town sales tax rate increase above 4.0%. For example, if the Town increases its retail sales tax rate by
0.25% (from 4.0% to 4.25%), the portion of the Add-On RSF Revenues construed to be Municipal Payments
shall be that amount equivalent to a reduction of 0.25% in the Add-On RSF rate (i.e., the revenue realized from
a rate of 0.50% rather than the revenue realized from a rate of 0.75%). As of the Effective Date, the PICs have
not imposed an Add-On PIF on transactions other than retail sales transactions that are Taxable Transactions or
set the Add-On PIF at a rate higher than the rate of the Add-On RSF required pursuant to this Section 6.4(b).
(ii) Exception for “Project-Specific” Town Tax Rate Increase. Notwithstanding anything set
forth in Sections 6.4(a)(i), 6.4(a)(iii) and 6.4(b)(i) to the contrary and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 6.4(b)(ii), the Town shall be entitled to retain the revenues resulting from an increase in the
Town’s 4.0% sales tax rate or 4.0% accommodations tax rate as in effect on the Execution Date to the extent:
(A) such tax rate increase is duly adopted by the Town after the Effective Date and applies on a uniform basis
throughout all areas of the Town; (B) the proceeds of such tax rate increase are specifically dedicated and
pledged solely to a specific project identified in connection with such adoption; (C) the financing period for such
specific project does not exceed 30 years; and (D) for the purposes of sales tax and not accommodations tax such
increased tax rate does not exceed 0.75%. For purposes of the foregoing, a “specific project” shall mean only a
specific municipal capital project (by way of example, construction of a municipal building; construction of a
library; acquisition of specifically identified parcels of real property that are being acquired by the Town for
open space, park or construction of a specific municipal capital project to be constructed on such property; or
similar purposes), and expressly excludes tax rate increases for the purpose of providing ongoing municipal
services (by way of example, to fund ongoing provision of transit services, trash services or similar open-ended
municipal services funding obligations) or for general fund purposes. With respect to tax rate increases for a
specific project as set forth above, the Tax Credit shall not apply to such increased rate and the corresponding
Credit PIF rate shall not be raised to match the increased tax rate, but the Add-On RSF rate shall be reduced
correspondingly to the increased tax rate as set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) with respect to retail sales transactions.
With respect to any Town sales tax rate increases that are not for a specific project, the terms and conditions of
Section 6.4(b)(i) shall apply.
(iii) Increased Add-On PIF Rate. To the extent the PICs at any time after the Effective Date
impose an Add-On PIF on transactions other than retail sales transactions that are Taxable Transactions and/or
at a rate higher than the Add-On RSF rate, the resulting Add-On PIF Revenues shall not be construed to
constitute Add-On RSF Revenues or Municipal Payments. Any Add-On PIF Revenues that do not constitute
Municipal Payments pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) may be utilized as set forth in Section 6.5(b)(ii).
6.5 Add-On PIF. In implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet, and in consideration of the Town’s
performance of its obligation to provide Municipal Services in accordance with Section 4.1 and the Town’s
performance of its obligations pursuant to Section 4.2 and this Article 6:
(a) Collection and Remittance. During the Term, the PICs shall collect, or cause the Add-On RSF
Collection Agent to collect, the Add-On RSF Revenues. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Add-On
RSF Collection Services Agreement, the Add-On RSF Collection Agent shall:
(i) Separate Account. Maintain Add-On RSF Revenues in a separate account from Credit
PIF Revenues.
E-34 1001679.22 FINAL
(ii) Remittance of Municipal Payments. Calculate that portion of Add--On RSF Revenues
received during each calendar month which comprises Municipal Payments, and after calculating that portion of
the Municipal Payments required to be deposited into the Asphalt Overlay Account:
(A) Deposit the required amount of Municipal Payments into the Asphalt Overlay
Account; and
(B) Remit any remaining Municipal Payments to the Town.
(b) Uses.
(i) Municipal Payments. During the Term, the Municipal Payments shall be utilized first to
satisfy the Town’s Asphalt Overlay Account funding obligations as set forth in Section 6.6 and thereafter may
be utilized by the Town for any lawful purpose.
(ii) Additional Add-On PIF Revenues. To the extent the PICs continue to impose and collect
the Add-On RSF on retail sales transactions that are Taxable Transactions after expiration of the Term and/or
there are from time to time during the Term Add-On PIF Revenues, including any Add-On RSF Revenues, in
excess of the Municipal Payments (for example, due to a reduction in such Municipal Payments pursuant to
Section 6.4(b) or due to imposition of an Add-On PIF on transactions other than retail sales that are Taxable
Transactions), the PICs may retain and utilize such additional Add-On PIF Revenues for any lawful purpose
permitted under the terms and conditions of the PIF Covenants. The Town shall have no right or claim to any
such Add-On PIF Revenues, including any Add-On RSF Revenues, that do not constitute Municipal Payments.
(c) Duration. The Town’s right to receive the Municipal Payments generated through the PICs’
imposition of the Add-On RSF shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Town’s obligation to maintain
the Tax Credit as set forth in Section 6.1(c) of this Development Agreement.
(d) Implementation Period. From and after the Execution Date, the Town will cooperate with the
PICs, the Add-On RSF Collection Agent, Master Developer and TC-RP (as “declarant” under the PIF Covenants) in
implementing the Add-On RSF with existing retailers within the Project, including but not limited to attending meetings
with such retailers upon the request of the PICs and Master Developer (and not independently), coordinating with the
PICs and the Add-On RSF Collection Agent with respect to preparation and dissemination of reporting forms and
similar matters related to the collection and remittance of the Add-On RSF, and such other matters as the PICs, the
Add-On RSF Collection Agent, Master Developer and TC-RP (as “declarant” under the PIF Covenants) reasonably
request in connection with implementing and facilitating the collection of the Add-On RSF.
(e) Effect of Expiration of Term. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in the applicable PIF
Covenants, expiration of the Term shall not have the effect of terminating the Add-On RSF or the Add-On PIF and, to
the extent the PICs continue to impose the Add-On RSF and/or the Add-On PIF and to collect the Add-On RSF
Revenues or any other Add-On PIF Revenues after expiration of the Term, all such Add-On PIF Revenues may be
utilized as set forth in Section 6.5(b)(ii).
6.6 Asphalt Overlay Agreement and Asphalt Overlay Account. Concurrently with the Effective Date and in
implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet, the Town, TCMD and First Bank, Avon Branch, have legally delivered
and entered into the Asphalt Overlay Agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Term Sheet and the Asphalt Overlay
Agreement, the Town has established with First Bank, Avon Branch, a restricted, segregated account (the “Asphalt
Overlay Account”) into which the Master Developer, the Town and TCMD and/or VMD (as determined by the 2013
Reissue Documents during the 2013 Bond Repayment Period [confirm defined term] and/or otherwise subject to a
pledge by VMD in connection with District Debts issued or incurred by VMD pursuant to the Financing Plan) shall
deposit funds in the amounts and at the times set forth below. Such funds shall be used exclusively to finance asphalt
E-35 1001679.22 FINAL
overlays of public roads located in the Project Dedicated to the Town as described in Section 4.2(d). The Asphalt
Overlay Account shall be subject to and administered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Asphalt
Overlay Agreement and the following terms and conditions:
(a) Joint Funding Obligations. Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until terminated
pursuant to Section 6.6(b), Master Developer, the Town and TCMD (and/or VMD) each shall contribute funds to the
Asphalt Overlay Account as follows:

using available District Revenues, TCMD and/or VMD (as determined by the 2013 Reissue Documents during
the 2013 Bond Repayment Period [confirm defined term] and/or otherwise subject to a pledge by VMD in
connection with District Debts issued or incurred by VMD pursuant to the Financing Plan) shall contribute:
(A) For calendar years 2013 through 2017, TCMD shall contribute $40,000.00
(FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS) per year.

extent reimbursable from TCMD and/or VMD using Credit PIF Revenues (and therefore qualifying as
Additional Developer Advances):
(A) For calendar years 2013 through 2017, Master Developer shall contribute
$80,000.00 (EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS) per year.
(B) Notwithstanding any continuing obligation of the Town and TCMD to contribute
funds to the Asphalt Overlay Account after calendar year 2017, Master Developer shall not have any
obligation to contribute funds to the Asphalt Overlay Account after satisfying the obligation set forth in
the foregoing clause (A).
(b) Termination of Joint Funding Obligations. The joint funding obligations of Master Developer
(unless earlier satisfied pursuant to Section 6.6(a)(iv)), the Town and TCMD and/or VMD with respect to the Asphalt
Overlay Account shall terminate in the earliest calendar year in which one of the following occurs: (i) 80,000 square
feet of additional commercial (as defined in the PUD Guide) development have been issued a temporary or permanent
certificate of occupancy; or (ii) the total annual Taxable Transactions have increased by at least $20,000,000 over the

Credit PIF Cap.
6.7 Creation of Urban Renewal Area; Potential Utilization of TIF Revenues. In implementation of the
Settlement Term Sheet, the Master Developer and the Landowner(s) of the affected Sites within Lot 1 shall provide their
timely, full and reasonable cooperation in assisting the Town and AURA in the creation of an urban renewal plan for
Lot 1 in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 6.7; provided, however, that Master Developer and
any other Landowner(s) shall not be required to cooperate in the creation or implementation of such urban renewal plan
unless Master Developer has provided its written consent to all terms and conditions of the urban renewal plan prior to
its adoption. Master Developer and any other Landowner(s) shall have the right to oppose any urban renewal plan for
Lot 1 (or any other area of the Property) that does not include a provision that expressly prohibits the Town or AURA
from exercising eminent domain powers or, unless Master Developer has provided its written consent to such urban
renewal plan for Lot 1 as contemplated herein, for any other reason permitted under the laws of the State of Colorado.
Master Developer or any Landowner(s) of a Site within Lot 1shall have no obligation to cooperate with the formation of
an urban renewal plan area for Lot 1 if Master Developer has not provided prior written consent as required above or if
the Town and/or AURA fails to adhere to the following terms and conditions.
(a) Limited to Lot 1. The area included within the urban renewal plan is limited to Lot 1 or a portion
thereof.
(b) Reduction of Credit PIF Cap. A maximum amount of $10,000,000 (TEN MILLION
DOLLARS) of proceeds available for the payment of Capital Project Costs from bonds or other financial obligations
(whether in the form of bonds, direct payments, redevelopment agreement(s) and/or cooperation/funding agreement(s))
issued or incurred by AURA to pay Cap Amounts may be counted against and thereby reduce the remaining Credit PIF
Cap; provided, however, that the cost of improvements to or servicing Town-owned properties (by way of example and
not limitation, improvements located within, utilities extensions servicing and/or access to and from Planning Area B,
Planning Area E, or park/open space areas Dedicated to the Town), whether financed utilizing TIF Revenues or other
revenues of the Town or AURA, shall not result in a reduction of the Credit PIF Cap. Nothing in this Section 6.7(b)
constitutes a limit on AURA’s ability to finance improvements it deems appropriate. The restriction in this Section
6.7(b) relates only to whether bonds issued by AURA to pay for the costs of such improvements count against the Credit
PIF Cap.
(c) AURA Board Positions. Prior to or concurrently with the effective date of any action including
Lot 1 (or any portion thereof) in an urban renewal area and establishing an urban renewal plan therefore, the Town and
AURA shall take action to appoint an individual designated by Master Developer and shall take action to appoint an
individual designated by BNP (subject only to BNP’s ability to designate a lawfully eligible individual) to the AURA
board. The Master Developer and BNP board members shall be full members of the AURA board with equal rights,
duties and responsibilities as other AURA board members with respect to all matters pertaining to any urban renewal
area including Lot 1 (or a portion thereof), the redevelopment plan or plans for any urban renewal area including Lot 1
(or a portion thereof) and all AURA activities of any nature that directly or indirectly involve the establishment,
implementation and administration of any urban renewal area including or any urban renewal plan affecting Lot 1 (or a
portion thereof). The Master Developer and BNP shall comply with statutory requirements regarding conflicts of
interest. If the AURA board for activities affecting Lot 1 is constituted as a separate board from that which operates
within other areas of the Town, such BNP and Master Developer board members shall be full members for all purposes
having equal standing with other board members. If the AURA board is not constituted as a separate board from that
with operates within other areas of the Town, the BNP and Master Developer board members shall have no authority or
standing to participate in AURA board activities pertaining to areas of the Town other than Lot 1, and shall recuse
E-37 1001679.22 FINAL
themselves from all such proceedings. BNP’s right to have a member on the AURA board shall expire and terminate at
such time as there are no outstanding obligations to BNP under the TCMD2013 Reissue Documents or any subsequent
reissue or refunding of such bonds.
(d) TCMD and VMD Taxes. The urban renewal plan for any urban renewal area that includes Lot 1
(or any portion thereof), and all related governing and implementing documents, shall acknowledge that all Project Ad
Valorem Taxes are and shall remain the property of TCMD and VMD, respectively, and shall require AURA to
promptly remit to TCMD and VMD, respectively, that portion of TIF Revenues equivalent to the Project Ad Valorem
Taxes revenues TCMD and VMD would otherwise have received but for the inclusion of Lot 1 (or any portion thereof)
within the urban renewal area. No portion of the property tax increment revenues resulting from the Districts’ mill
levies shall be retained or utilized by AURA for any purpose, and shall specifically not be pledged or utilized by AURA
for repayment of any bonds issued or other financial obligations entered into by AURA.
(e) TIF Revenues; Uses. The urban renewal plan(s) shall not contain any provision for capturing the
increment of municipal sales taxes, and shall be expressly limited to capturing the increment of property taxes within the
urban renewal area (subject to Section 6.7(d)). AURA shall utilize all TIF Revenues generated from the urban renewal
area(s) containing all or any part of Lot 1 solely within the Project. Improvements undertaken or financed utilizing TIF
Revenues shall be subject to the Design Covenant and the review and approval of the Design Review Board where
applicable.
(f) Funding Agreement(s) with Districts. AURA may enter into enforceable multiple fiscal year
cooperation/funding agreements with a District providing that the TIF Revenues will be assigned to the District for the
purpose of financing, through the District’s issuance of bonds or otherwise, eligible Capital Projects.
(g) Priority of Use of TIF Revenues. The priority of AURA’s use of TIF Revenues generated from
within the urban renewal plan area(s) established within the Property pursuant to this Section 6.7 are:
(i) First, until the Credit PIF Cap reduction contemplated by Section 6.7(b) has been
accomplished or unless Master Developer and AURA otherwise agree in writing, to fund any then-uncompleted
phases of East Beaver Creek Boulevard as a through road in accordance with Section 3.10(a).
(ii) Second, to the extent the Credit PIF Cap reduction contemplated by Section 6.7(b) has
not been accomplished by satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), to fund from the remaining amount of Credit
PIF Cap reduction contemplated by Section 6.7(b) the Capital Project Costs of any Prioritized Capital Projects
within Lot 1 that have not previously been financed and completed.
(iii) Third, in a priority to be determined by AURA:
(A) improvements to or servicing Sites that the Town owns within Lot 1 (which may
include structured parking within Lot 1 to provide shared public parking for private improvements and
public improvements constructed within Planning Area B and other areas of Lot 1); and
(B) any other Capital Projects that result in a reduction of the Credit PIF Cap pursuant
to the terms and conditions of Section 6.7(b).
6.8 Tank Agreement. Prior to the Effective Date and in implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet,
certain parties thereto legally delivered and entered into the Tank Agreement and as required by the Tank Agreement,

Supplemental Bonds (other than Additional Developer Advances) at fixed interest rates without the Town’s consent so
long as the interest rate for such bonds does not exceed the Municipal Market Data rate (or, if the foregoing index is no
longer published, then the Bond Buyer Revenue Bond index rate), for a term most closely related to the term of the

issuance of Supplemental Bonds (other than Additional Developer Advances) which bear interest at a fixed rate higher
than that set forth in the preceding sentence, or which are variable rate bonds, shall require the prior written consent of
the Parties. [Here, Definitions 6 and 121 – bond underwriter will be providing a taxable bond reference rate to
supplement the tax exempt reference rate – Town has reserved its position on this addition.]

reduce the amount counted against the Credit PIF Cap. The principal amount of the Replacement Bonds shall not
exceed $12.4 million without the Town’s prior written approval, and the interest rate of such Replacement Bonds shall
bear a lower interest rate than such Past Developer Advances. For the purposes of determining the maximum allowable
interest rate of Replacement Bonds, the interest rate of Past Developer Advances which are extinguished, replaced,
refunded or defeased with Replacement Bonds (but excluding from such calculation those Past Developer Advances
with respect to which the interest rate has been reduced to 1.5% pursuant to Section 6.9(b)(v)(B)3.II) shall be averaged
with regard to the respective interest rate and amount of principal. The interest rate of Past Developer Advances
(excluding those Past Developer Advances with respect to which the interest rate has been reduced to 1.5% pursuant to
Section 6.9(b)(v)(B)3.II) shall be as determined by this Development Agreement on the Effective Date. To the extent
the accrued and unpaid interest payable under the terms of the Past Developer Advance documents is not capitalized in
or paid from the proceeds of the Replacement Bonds, the unpaid interest shall be carried forward as an accrued and
unpaid interest obligation under the terms of the Past Developer Advance documents, the unpaid interest obligation
shall not bear any interest, and the unpaid interest obligation shall not be discharged until paid in full.
6.12 Refunding and Refinancing. As set forth in Section 6.2(c)(ii), and subject to the limitations set forth in
this Section 6.12, TCMDthe Districts shall have the ongoing right to issue refunding bonds or other debt instruments to
repay, refund and/or defease, in whole or in part, the principal and Bond Requirements of the obligations described in
subsections (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 6.2(b). The principal and Bond Requirements of such refunding bonds or
other debt instruments shall not count against the Credit PIF Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the principal
amount of any bonds or other debt instruments issued to repay, refund and/or defease or otherwise refinance the
TCMD2013 Bond Reissue exceeds the then outstanding principal amount of the TCMD2013 Bond Reissue, only that
portion of the increased principal which is in excess of $52,100,000 (FIFTY TWO MILLION ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS) shall be included in the Cap Amounts and count against the Credit PIF Cap. The interest
rates on refunding bonds are subject to the requirements governing interest rates for Supplemental Bonds set forth in
Section 6.10 except that the interest rate for refinancing the outstanding principal balance of the $7 million of Tank
Project Financing set forth in Section 5.5(b)(ii) shall not exceed 5.933%. Without the Town’s prior written consent, the
E-42 1001679.22 FINAL
aggregate principal and interest due on fixed rate refunding bonds or other debt instruments with fixed interest rates,
from their date of issuance to final maturity (disregarding any option to redeem prior to maturity), shall be less than or
equal to the aggregate principal and interest due on the debt to be repaid, refunded, defeased or otherwise refinanced,
from the date of the refunding to final maturity (disregarding any option to redeem prior to maturity).
6.13 Town Cure Payment Rights. As contemplated by the Settlement Term Sheet, the Town shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to cure any TCMDDistrict’s payment default under the Tank Project FinancingBonds, the
TCMD2013 Bond Reissue Bonds or any Supplemental Bonds and to receive reimbursement of any such cure payments
in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.9(b)(v)(B)2.
6.14 Town Funding of Credit PIF Cap. At any time after the TCMD2013 Bond Reissue obligations have been
fully satisfied (including through payment by the Town pursuant to this Section 6.14), the Town shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to pay off all or a portion of the then-outstanding District Debts and/or satisfy the Town’s obligation
with respect to funding the full Credit PIF Cap as follows:
(a) Full Funding of Credit PIF Cap. The Town shall have the right to fully fund the Credit PIF Cap
by: (i) paying off all then-outstanding District Debts; and (ii) remitting to TCMD the TCMD (or, if so directed in
writing by Master Developer with TCMD’s written consent, to the Commercial PIC (for subsequent assignment to a
District for use in accordance with the Financing Plan)) the amount, if any, of available but unutilized Credit PIF Cap
capacity as of the date of payoff. The total obligation to TCMDthe Districts and/or the Commercial PIC shall not
exceed the Credit PIF Cap. For example, if the sum of the Net Proceeds of previously retired TCMD2013 Bond Reissue
obligations and other District Debts retired by the Town totals $80 million, the amount of unutilized Credit PIF Cap
capacity to be paid by the Town to TCMD (or to such other party as may be designated as provided herein) would be
$16 million [$96 million - $80 million = $16 million]. Upon remitting the funds to fully fund the payoff amounts
pursuant to the foregoing terms and conditions, the Town shall be entitled to terminate the Tax Credit. Simultaneously
with Town’s exercise of its right to terminate the Tax Credit, the PICs’ obligation to cause the Municipal Payments to be
remitted to the Town pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Development Agreement, and all right or claim of the
Town to receive any portion of the Add--On RSF Revenues imposed after the date which Town exercises its right to
terminate the Tax Credit, shall automatically and without the requirement of further action terminate, be of no further
force or effect, and be forever extinguished.
(b) Partial Funding of Credit PIF Cap. Alternatively, the Town may elect to pay off the
then-outstanding District Debts but not to advance the funds required to fund the unutilized Credit PIF Cap capacity
remaining available to TCMDfor utilization as provided in this Financing Plan. In such event and as otherwise provided
in this Development Agreement, the Tax Credit shall continue in effect for the duration of the Term, the PICs shall
continue to impose the Credit PIF and cause the collection of the Credit PIF Revenues, and the PICs shall continue to
cause the Municipal Payments to be remitted to the Town. All Credit PIF Revenues available to TCMD (for example,
Credit PIF Revenues not otherwise encumbered by and required to service debt on Supplemental Bonds issued after the
date of the Town’s payoff) to TCMD, or to such other party as may be designated in the manner described in clause (ii)
of Section 6.14(a), shall be placed in escrow by TCMD or such designated party and applied from time to time toward
Supplemental Bonds and/or direct payment of Capital Project Costs. The Credit PIF Revenues placed into escrow shall
be subject to an agreement which grants the Town the right to enforce, restrict and limit the use of such escrow funds for
payment of Capital Project Costs.
6.15 Other Taxes Town May Not Collect. The Town shall not be entitled to impose, collect, receive, retain,
expend or utilize Town taxes imposed upon the Public Improvement Fees as described hereinin subsections 6.15(a) and
6.15(b). In the event that the Town is legally required by municipal, state or federal law to impose the Town’s tax on a
PICPublic Improvement fee as described hereinin subsections 6.15(a) and/or 6.15(b), the Town shall, subject to annual
appropriation to the extent required by Section 20 of Article X of the Colorado Constitution, remit the full amount of the
Town tax imposed upon the PIC fee to TCMDsuch Public Improvement Fee to TCMD or VMD (to VMD or to TCMD,

connection with District Debts issued or incurred by VMD pursuant to the Financing Plan) and such revenues shall be
included with and be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as Credit PIF Revenues.
(a) Use Tax. If the Town enacts and imposes a use tax on building materials, the PICs shall,
pursuant to the PIF Covenants and the Financing Plan, impose and apply the Retail Sales Fee to the use of such building
materials and the Town shall not impose such Town use tax on any Usethe corresponding Retail Sales Fee.
(b) Real Estate Transfer Tax. The Town’s real estate transfer tax shall not apply to the Real Estate

utilize in the Town’s discretion all future taxes, assessments and fees imposed by the Town and not addressed in this

and records to accurately perform and account for their respective obligations under this Development Agreement.
Each such Party or Limited Party shall, upon request of any other such Party or Limited Party, permit representatives of
such requesting entity reasonable access during normal business hours to review and, at the requesting entity’s expense,
audit such books and records in order to permit such requesting entity to determine compliance with the terms of this
Development Agreement or the accuracy of any information contained in any statement, notice, invoice or report
required to be provided under this Development Agreement. All such Parties and Limited Parties shall use their best
efforts to resolve any issues, discrepancies, or inaccuracies discovered in any such statement, notice, invoice or report or
in such requesting entity’s review or audit of the applicable books and records. For so long as BNP is providing a Letter
of Credit to secure the TCMD2013 Bond Reissue or any amounts are due and owing to BNP in connection with the
TCMD2013 Bond Reissue, BNP shall have the same right to reasonable access to review and audit books and records to
determine compliance with the terms of this Development Agreement or the accuracy of any information as set forth
above with respect to the Town, AURA, the PICS and the Districts.
6.18 Cooperation Regarding Delinquent Public Improvement Fees. If the PICs are unable to collect any
portion of the Public Improvement Fees due to delinquency, deficiency, or failure to file, the PICs may promptly notify
the Town in writing, and the Town shall institute the procedures authorized under the Municipal Code to enforce and
E-44 1001679.22 FINAL

Improvement Fees. Under no circumstances shall the Town be subject to any legal liability to the PICs or to the
Districts on account of the Town’s failure to collect some or all of the delinquent or deficient Public Improvement Fees
on behalf of such entities. The Town acknowledges that if the person or entity which failed to timely remit such Public
Improvement Fees subsequently remits such Public Improvement Fees to the applicable PIC, such payment shall result
in the application of the Tax Credit (if applicable) against such person or entity’s corresponding tax obligation (if any),
which Tax Credit shall fully satisfy any corresponding tax liability to the Town. The Town shall nevertheless be
entitled to recover from the PICs the administrative fee and any costs incurred in the enforcement and recovery of such
Public Improvement Fees.
6.19 Creation of Additional PICs and/or Districts. Master Developer reserves the right to create such
additional PICs as may be necessary or desirable from time to time. With the prior written consent of BNP (for so long
as there are outstanding obligations to BNP under the TCMD Reissue Documents or any subsequent reissue or
refunding of such bonds2013 Reissue Documents [Note: here and elsewhere that the foregoing language is used, it
seemed appropriate to leave it rather than replace with “during the 2013 Bond Repayment Period,” although
depending on how that’s defined, it may be appropriate to use the defined term) and Master Developer, the
applicable Landowner(s) may petition for the creation of additional Districts to provide services and/or Public
Improvements and/or other forms of improvements benefiting all or any portion of the Property. The Town shall
reasonably cooperate with Master Developer and such Landowners, as applicable, with respect to the creation of such
additional PICs and/or Districts.

but not be limited to, ex parte applications for temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent
injunctions and actions for specific performance of the defaulting Party’s or defaulting Limited Party’s obligations
and/or damages. All of the remedies permitted or available under this Development Agreement, at law, by statute or in
equity shall be cumulative and not in the alternative, and invocation of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a
waiver or election of remedies with respect to any other permitted or available right or remedy. For the avoidance of
E-46 1001679.22 FINAL
doubt and in order to clarify the effect of the foregoing as it relates to the Financing Plan: (i) the Town hereby forever
waives and relinquishes any claim or right to terminate the Tax Credit for so long as any District Debts remain

shall have standing to enforce this Development Agreement, including specific performance, and affirms its intent that
the obligations of each such governmental or quasi-governmental entity are to be enforced in accordance with their
terms and each such entity expressly waives any right to object to or assert any defense against the entry of an order
requiring specific performance (or other mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief) of such obligations.
(b) Impairment of Vested Property Rights. The Town acknowledges that this Development
Agreement and the Development Plan constitute a development agreement which confers rights beyond those provided
by the three (3) year statutory vesting approach described in the Vested Property Rights Statute. In the event of an
uncured breach or default by the Town, in addition to any other remedies, Master Developer and any affected
Landowner shall be entitled to:
(i) recover from the Town the Past Developer Advances and any other damages that would
have been specifically available pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-68-105(1)(c) as in effect on the Effective Date, plus any

E-48 1001679.22 FINAL
ARTICLE 8
Miscellaneous
8.1 Applicable Law. This Development Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of Colorado.
8.2 No Joint Venture or Partnership. No form of joint venture or partnership exists between the Town,
Master Developer, AURA, the PICs, the Districts and/or BNP, and nothing contained in this Development Agreement
shall be construed as making any of the Parties, Limited Parties and/or Intended Beneficiaries joint venturers or
partners.
8.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Development Agreement, Master Developer, EMD,
TCMD, VMD, each Developer Affiliate, each Limited Party, each Intended Beneficiary and the Town shall each bear
their respective costs and expenses associated with entering into, implementing and enforcing the terms of this
Development Agreement.
8.4 Waiver. No waiver of one or more of the terms of this Development Agreement shall constitute a waiver
of other terms. No waiver of any provision of this Development Agreement in any instance shall constitute a waiver of
such provision in other instances.
8.5 Town Findings. Town Council hereby finds and determines that execution of this Development
Agreement provides a public benefit to the Town and its citizens, is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and
general welfare, and the provisions of this Development Agreement are consistent with all applicable development
laws, regulations and policies of the Town. Town Council further specifically finds: (i) the Town’s approval of this
Development Agreement and the Development Plan generally is pursuant to the authority of the Vested Property Rights
Statute and the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 set forth at CRS § 31-12-101, et seq., and, to the extent permitted by
law, the Town is acting in a proprietary capacity in approving the Financing Plan and therefore shall bind the Town with
regard to the Town’s rights and obligations during the Term, particularly with regard to the Town’s obligation to
maintain the Tax Credit in effect, in accordance with the terms and remedies set forth in this Development Agreement;
(ii) the Financing Plan and the Town’s agreement to forego the collection of sales tax revenues, real estate transfer tax
revenues and accommodations/lodging tax revenues by maintaining the Tax Credit in effect during the Term does not
constitute the creation of a multiple-fiscal year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation of the Town, and does
not constitute a new tax, tax rate increase or tax policy change directly causing a net tax revenue gain to the Town; and
(iii) nothing in this Development Agreement constitutes (A) a pledge of the Town’s credit, (B) special legislation under
Article V, section 25 of the Colorado Constitution, or (C) a grant in aid under Article XI, sections 1 and 2 of the
Colorado Constitution.
8.6 Severability. If a final order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction holds any term, provision,
covenant or condition of this Development Agreement to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of
this Development Agreement shall, unless amended or modified as provided in Section 1.5, continue in full force and
effect so long as enforcement of the remaining provisions would not deprive the Party(ies) or Limited Party(ies) against
whom they are being enforced of a material benefit of the bargain under this Development Agreement or otherwise be
inequitable to such Party or Limited Party under the facts and circumstances then pertaining. For the avoidance of
doubt, a determination that the Town’s obligation to maintain the Tax Credit in effect in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Financing Plan, or a determination that the Town’s right to receive the Municipal Payments, is invalid,
void, unenforceable or that the remedy of specific performance is not available with respect to the Town’s obligations
under the Financing Plan or the Town’s right to receive the Municipal Payments: (i) shall be construed as depriving the
adversely affected Parties and Limited Parties of a material benefit of the bargain and being otherwise inequitable to
such Parties and Limited Parties; and (ii) this Development Agreement shall be deemed void and of no further effect
unless modified by the Parties as provided in Section 1.5 or judicially reformed in such a manner that the Town’s
obligations and commitments set forth in the Financing Plan, and/or the Town’s right to receive Municipal Payments, as
E-49 1001679.22 FINAL
applicable, can be materially performed and complied with by alternative means. Unless amended or reformed as
provided herein, entry of a final order holding the Town’s obligation to maintain the Tax Credit in effect invalid or
unenforceable shall entitle Master Developer and affected Landowners to entry of an order enforcing the remedy set
forth in Section 7.7(b)(ii) and, correspondingly, entry of a final order holding the Town’s right to receive Municipal
Payments invalid or unenforceable shall entitle the Town to disconnect the Property.
8.7 Further Assurances. Each Party shall undertake such actions and shall execute and deliver to the other
all such other further instruments and documents as may be reasonably necessary to carry out this Development
Agreement in order to provide and secure to the other Party the full and complete enjoyment of its rights and privileges
under this Development Agreement.
8.8 TCMD and VMD Obligations. Except with respect to funding of the Asphalt Overlay Account in
accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.6(a)(iii) and funding of the Annual Debt Service Obligation, all
obligations of TCMD and VMD under this Development Agreement to pay money are subject to annual budget and
appropriation, and are subordinate to any bonds issued by TCMD and/or VMD.
8.9 Complete Agreement. This Development Agreement constitutes the final, complete and exclusive
statement of the terms of the agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Development
Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understanding or agreements of the Parties. This
Development Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous statements or
agreements, including but not limited to the Settlement Term Sheet, the Original Agreement and any oral or written
communications exchanged during the public review process leading to approval of this Development Agreement.
8.10 Construction. Each Party has participated fully in the review and revision of this Development
Agreement. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not
apply to interpreting this Development Agreement. The language in this Development Agreement shall be interpreted
as to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party.
8.11 Assignment. This Development Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as otherwise provided in
this Development Agreement, shall inure to the benefit of the successors in interest or the legal representatives of the
Parties. Master Developer shall have the right to assign or transfer all or any portion of its interests, rights or obligations
under this Development Agreement to third parties acquiring an interest or estate in the Property, including, but not
limited to, purchasers or long term ground lessees of individual lots, parcels, or of any improvements now or hereafter
located within the Property, provided that to the extent Master Developer assigns any of its obligations under this
Development Agreement, the assignee of such obligations shall expressly assume such obligations. The express
assumption of any of Master Developer’s obligations under this Development Agreement by its assignee or transferee
shall thereby relieve Master Developer of any further obligations under this Development Agreement with respect to the
matter so assumed. BNP Paribas shall provide written notice to the Parties of any successor or assignee entity that
assumes BNP’s rights and obligations pursuant to this Development Agreement.
8.12 Notices. All approvals, consents, notices, objections, and other communications (a “Notice” and,
collectively, “Notices”) under this Development Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given and
received when personally delivered, or sent by overnight courier, or by email (pdf), or by registered or certified United
States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective Parties, Limited Parties or Intended Beneficiaries at their
respective addresses as set forth below. Notices shall be deemed effective: (i) if personally delivered, when actually

business days after mailed. All Notices shall be addressed as follows (or to such other address as may be subsequently

the terms of the Service Agreement, the Water Lease or the Water
Sublease shall be considered satisfied in full once the Water Rights
and Appurtenances have been conveyed to the Authority as provided

Agent; and Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make all cash
disbursements therefrom by checks drawn by the Escrow Agent
sufficient to make all disbursements for progress payments and final
payments to any contractor or subcontractor for TCMD, TCLLC or
TCRP for work performed that has been inspected and approved by
the Authority and approved for payment by Marcin Engineering; if
any change orders are approved or cost increases occur which
increase the amount of the payments required in excess of the
Escrow Amount, TCMD, TCCLC or TCRP shall transfer and
deposit to the Escrow Account funds sufficient for the Escrow Agent
to make all progress and final payments for the work on the Tank

deposit to the Escrow Account, an irrevocable letter of credit
(“ILOC”) from a US financial institution with an office or offices in
Colorado in an amount equal to the Escrow Amount provided above
which authorizes the Escrow Agent as the named beneficiary of the
ILOC, in its sole and absolute discretion, authority to draw upon the
ILOC in such amounts as are necessary to make all progress and
final payments for the work on the Tank Site and the water main
serving the Tank; the expiration date for any ILOC so provided shall
not be earlier than January 5, 2016; and
(d) the Authority is hereby fully released from any and all obligations it
had under the Tank Agreement to construct the Storage Tank, to
issue Tank Project Bonds and to give Notice to Proceed to any
contractor or contractors; all other provisions of Section 8.b.i of the
Tank Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and shall be of
no further force and effect; and
(e) the Authority shall provide potable water service to the Property,
subject to the terms of the decree of the District Court in and for
Water Division No. 5, Case No. 97CW306, up to a maximum of
106.3 consumptive acre feet per year, and further subject to the
improvements to be constructed, or improvements previously
constructed, within the area of the Property physically capable of
being served by the Storage Tank (at elevations one-hundred-forty
(140) feet below the base of the Storage Tank, or above such
elevation upon construction of additional pumping and/or tank
storage capacity above such elevation); and
(f) the Authority shall issue taps for potable water service as described
in subparagraph 8.e above upon payment of any applicable fees,
compliance with generally applicable engineering/technical
requirements for connection to the Authority’s water distribution
system and compliance with the conditions for service as set forth in
the Authority’s Rules and Regulations; and
(g) any development within the Property located at an elevation higher
than the property that can be served by the Storage Tank shall
require additional treated water storage to be constructed by
someone other than the Authority or Avon at elevations higher than
the Storage Tank elevation if such development is to be served by
the Authority; and
{00350790.DOCX /}/ 3} 12
(h) the Authority’s commitment to provide potable water service
pursuant to the terms of the decree in Case No. 97CW306 up to
106.3 consumptive acre feet per year and to issue taps therefore as
set forth herein shall inure to the benefit of TCMD; and
(i) as of the Effective Date of this Addendum, an SFE is equivalent to
714 gallons of treated water storage and if TCMD wants the
Authority to provide water service to more than 2,800 SFEs, TCMD
shall provide additional treated water storage; or, if water service is
proposed to development located above the service area of the
Storage Tank, TCMD shall be required to construct and dedicate an
additional water storage tank or tanks to the Authority; however, this
provision shall not be construed to imply that the decree in Case No.
97CW306 permits service to approximately 2,800 SFEs, and shall
not modify the provisions of subparagraph 8.j set forth below; and
(j) if any Party wants the Authority to provide service in excess of what
is authorized by the decree in Case No. 97CW306, the Party first
needs to provide additional water rights and pay all costs incurred by
the Authority to adjudicate the necessary water rights to provide the
increased level of service; and
(k) if TCMD and/or the Developer Affiliates fail to deliver a completed
Tank, pipeline and all necessary appurtenances for an operational
water storage tank for “Construction Acceptance” and operation by
the Authority on or before June 30, 2015, the Authority may either
extend the deadline for Construction Acceptance by the Authority if
it is satisfied that reasonable progress has been and is being made in
correcting any deficiencies that have been identified by the
Authority, or, not earlier than December 31, 2015, the Authority
reserves the right to reinstate the moratorium until Construction
Acceptance of the Tank and all related facilities by the Authority is
completed; and
(l) each Party and Limited Party shall have direct rights to enforce the
terms and conditions of Section 8 of this Addendum.
9. Public Financing of the Tank Project. All of the terms and provisions of
Section 9 are hereby deleted in their entirety and shall be of no further force and effect.
10. Other Consideration.
(a) Upon complete execution and delivery of this Addendum to the
Escrow Agent, and without the requirement of any further action, the
{00350790.DOCX /}/ 3} 13
Authority shall be deemed to have irrevocably released TCMD from
any obligation to pay the sum of $20,387.22 due for the remainder of
the Authority’s professional fees incurred in adjudicating a plan for
augmentation and exchange to allow the Authority to use 10.8 acre-
feet of storage in Wolford Mountain and Ruedi Reservoirs acquired
from the Traer Creek entities.
(b) The amount presently due to the Authority from TCMD pursuant to
the Agreement dated November 4, 2002 ($124,728.64 after
application of the payment due on September 16, 2012), shall
continue to be paid by TCMD in the form of annual payments to the
Authority due on September 16th of each year in the amount of
$11,880.24, including interest at the rate of 5.45% per annum
through September 16, 2028, or until the full amount of this
obligation is satisfied in full. The Authority hereby agrees no other
professional fees are owed to it by TCMD, VMD or Master
Developer and the Authority hereby expressly releases any other
such claims for fees through the Effective Date of this Addendum.
11. Construction of the Storage Tank; Conveyance of the Tank Site; Easement
Agreement. The Storage Tank shall be financed and constructed solely by TCMD or
TCLLC or TCRP or the Developer Affiliates, as they may determine. None of the other
Parties to this Addendum shall have any financial responsibility for the costs of
construction or financing of the Storage Tank Project. Upon completion and
Construction Acceptance of the Storage Tank by the Authority, the Storage Tank shall be
operated by the Authority on the Tank Site. The Tank Site shall be conveyed to the
Authority by TCRP by Special Warranty Deed in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B, free and clear of all monetary liens and other encumbrances (the “Tank Site
Deed”) which shall include all areas required for ingress and egress, maintenance, repairs
or replacement of facilities, retaining walls, slope maintenance and snow storage and
otherwise meeting the minimum requirements of the Avon Municipal Code. TCRP states
that it has submitted and obtained approval of the Final Plat for the Tank Site from Avon
as a minor subdivision and the Final Plat shall be delivered to and recorded by the
Escrow Agent upon execution of this Addendum. Accordingly:
(a) TCRP shall execute and deliver the Tank Site Deed to Stewart Title
as Escrow Agent, together with a Request for Partial Release of
Deed of Trust from Laramie Participations, Inc., the original
Promissory Note and the original Deed of Trust recorded June 1,
2009 at Reception No. 200910538; the Request for Partial Release of
Deed of Trust shall be submitted immediately to the Public Trustee
by the Escrow Agent with the Promissory Note and original Deed of
Trust for processing and recording by the Public Trustee; the Tank
{00350790.DOCX /}/ 3} 14
Site Deed shall be recorded by the Escrow Agent upon Construction
Acceptance of the Tank and Tank Site by the Authority.
(b) TCRP and the Authority shall execute and deliver to the Escrow
Agent the Easement Agreement in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F, granting a non-exclusive easement to the
Authority for use of the Realigned Access Road to be constructed by
TCMD, or TCLLC or TCRP or the Developer Affiliates as described
therein for ingress and egress to the Tank Site; the Easement
Agreement shall be recorded by the Escrow Agent upon
Construction Acceptance of the Tank and Tank Site by the
Authority.
(c) TCRP shall grant to the Authority at no cost to the Authority, such
non-exclusive easements as may reasonably be required within the
Access Road alignment and right-of-way or elsewhere on the
Property, or which are otherwise specifically described in Exhibit F,
to connect the Storage Tank to existing water lines and electric lines
at locations anywhere on the Property to be mutually agreed upon by
TCRP and the Authority in the Easement Agreement, Exhibit F,
including any pumping station and facilities reasonably necessary to
the operations of the Storage Tank.
12. Construction and Ownership of Storage Tank. TCMD or TCLLC or TCRP
agree to commence construction of the Tank Project as soon as possible after the
Effective Date of this Addendum, but in no event later than November 1, 2013. The
Authority reserves to itself all rights to inspect and approve the construction of the Tank
Project and to retain experts to monitor the construction of the Storage Tank in
accordance with its customary practices and its Rules and Regulations, including, but not
limited to Appendix C thereto, for the construction of infrastructure for its regional water
distribution system, including the right to reject work which does not meet the
requirements of the plans and specification or to require corrections to the Work. TCMD,
TCLLC and TCRP agree to construct the Storage Tank and the MSE walls on the Tank
Site in specific accordance with the Bid-Ready Plans completed by the Authority,
including any modifications to the Bid-Ready Plans that are submitted to and approved
by the Authority in advance of construction. TCMD, TCLLC and TCRP agree that
before executing any construction contract for the valve vault and the pipeline to the
Tank Site, the plans and specifications for that Work and any other variances from the
Bid-Ready Plans shall be presented to the Authority for review and approval or for any
modifications to the plans and specifications as requested by the Authority in its sole and
absolute discretion. Upon completion of the Tank Project and all required testing,
TCMD, TCLLC or TCRP Affiliates shall present for Construction Acceptance by the
Authority, all of the work and improvements completed on the Tank Site, together with
{00350790.DOCX /}/ 3} 15
the pipeline and all other appurtenances as required to make the Storage Tank
operational, including a two-year warranty from the contractors for such facilities
commencing on the date of Construction Acceptance of such facilities by the Authority.
The Authority reserves all rights to inspect the Storage Tank, the MSE Walls, the valve
vault and the pipeline prior to acceptance, including any requirements for inspection and
testing by third parties, and to reject any portions of the Work which fail to meet the
requirements of the plans and specifications as finally approved by the Authority. The
assignment and conveyance of the improvements to the Tank Site and the pipeline shall
include all permits required and obtained from the Colorado Department of Public Health
and the Environment, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Tank Site and the Town
of Avon. Once these facilities have been accepted, the Authority shall own the Storage
Tank and all capacity therein for treated water storage and shall provide all operation and
maintenance services for the Storage Tank and the Tank Site at its sole cost and expense.
The Parties acknowledge that the Tank Project anticipates and has been designed to
accommodate and connect to future water storage tank(s) to be located uphill from the
Storage Tank. The Authority shall have absolutely no responsibility for the design,
construction, financing, oversight or approval of the construction of the Realigned Access
Road as now proposed by TCMD and the Developer Affiliates, except as that design and
construction may impact the location of the permanent easement required to be granted to
the Authority for the installation, construction, maintenance, repair and replacement of
the water main serving the Tank and as that water main may be installed.
13. Prior Agreements Not Fully Superseded; No Cross-Defaults. Except to the
extent that Section 2(b) of the Service Agreement is amended and/or superseded by the
express terms of the Tank Agreement and this Addendum, the Service Agreement and
any other agreement referenced in this Tank Agreement that was executed prior to the
Effective Date of this Addendum (“Prior Agreement(s)”) shall continue in effect in
accordance with such agreements’ terms, and the parties thereto shall maintain all of their
rights, duties and obligations set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Prior Agreement, no default under this
Tank Agreement and Addendum shall be construed to be a default under any Prior
Agreement and no default under any Prior Agreement shall be construed to be a default
under the Tank Agreement and this Addendum.
14. Default; Remedies; Rights of Limited Parties and Intended Beneficiaries.
(a) Default of a Party. A default by a Party is a failure by such Party to
fully perform any of its duties and obligations set forth in the Tank
Agreement and this Addendum.
(b) Cure Period. Default will not occur until a non-defaulting Party
provides the defaulting Party thirty (30) days written notice
describing the default, and the defaulting Party is given the
opportunity during such time to cure the default.
{00350790.DOCX /}/ 3} 16
(c) Remedies.
(i) Parties and Limited Parties. Upon the occurrence and
continuance of an uncured default, any non-defaulting Party and/or any non-defaulting
Limited Party shall, except to the extent limited by an express provision of the Tank
Agreement or this Addendum, be entitled to enforce the provisions and any remedy
provided in the Tank Agreement or this Addendum at law or in equity, and relief in the
nature of injunctive relief, mandamus, specific performance (if allowed by law against any
local government that is a Party) or damages or a combination thereof may be awarded.
The remedies available shall include, but not be limited to, ex parte applications for
temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions and
actions for specific performance (if allowed by law against any local government that is a
Party or Limited Party) of the defaulting Party’s or Limited Party’s obligations and/or
damages. All of the remedies permitted or available under the Tank Agreement or this
Addendum, at law, by statute or in equity shall be cumulative and not in the alternative,
and invocation of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or election of
remedies with respect to any other permitted or available right or remedy. Additionally, in
consideration of the Tank Agreement and this Addendum constituting an inter-
governmental agreement by and among Avon, the Authority, TCMD and VMD, each such
governmental or quasi-governmental entity expressly affirms its intent that the obligations
of each such governmental or quasi-governmental entity are to be enforced in accordance
with their terms.
(ii) Intended Beneficiaries.
(1) The Developer Affiliates shall have the right to
enforce the Authority’s obligations pursuant to Section 8 of this Addendum, together
with the right to enforce any right of Master Developer and pursue any remedy available
to Master Developer in the event of a default by another Party.
(2) Except with respect to those expressly stated rights the
Intended Beneficiaries have under the Tank Agreement or this Addendum, no Developer
Affiliate, except TCLLC and TCRP, is subject to any obligation nor has it acquired any
enforcement right or remedy arising solely under the Tank Agreement and this
Addendum.
15. Assignment. Any Party may assign its rights, duties and obligations under
the Tank Agreement and this Addendum upon the prior written consent of the other
Parties and the Limited Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. In addition, the assignor shall provide the other Parties and
Limited Parties with copies of all relevant documentation of such assignment.
16. No Waiver; Governmental Immunity; Annual Appropriation. Any Party’s
or Limited Party’s waiver of, or failure to pursue any available remedy for, a breach of
{00350790.DOCX /}/ 3} 17
any term or provision of the Tank Agreement or this Addendum shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by any Party or Limited Party.
Additionally, and notwithstanding any provision of the Tank Agreement or this
Addendum to the contrary, no term or condition of the Tank Agreement or this
Addendum shall be construed or interpreted as a waiver, either express or implied, of any
of the immunities, rights, benefits or protection provided to TCMD, VMD, the Authority
or Avon under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, §§ 24-10-101 et seq., C.R.S.
The obligations of the Authority and Avon hereunder are subject to the annual
appropriation of funds necessary for the performance thereof, which appropriations shall
be made in the sole discretion of the Authority’s Board of Directors or the Avon Town
Council as applicable.
17. Amendment; Modification. The Tank Agreement and this Addendum may
be modified only by the signed, written agreement of the Parties or their respective
agents, successors and assigns. The prior written consent of the Limited Parties shall not
be required except to the extent the proposed modification directly and expressly affects a
right or obligation of the Limited Parties, and such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Additionally, the Parties and the Limited Parties
acknowledge that the TCMD Bond Reissue documentation is anticipated to preclude
TCMD and/or VMD from entering into any modification of the Tank Agreement or this
Addendum without the prior written consent of BNP, which consent BNP shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.
18. Further Cooperation. The Parties and Limited Parties shall reasonably
cooperate with one another to effectuate the intent of the Parties and Limited Parties as
described herein, including without limitation, executing any and all further instruments
and documents, and doing and performing such further and additional acts and things
necessary or proper to effectuate or further evidence the terms and provisions of the Tank
Agreement and this Addendum.
19. Proper Authority. The Parties and the Limited Parties represent and warrant
that they have full right and capacity to enter into the Tank Agreement and this
Addendum and have taken any and all actions required and have any and all necessary
approvals to enter into the Tank Agreement and this Addendum.
20. Attorneys’ Fees. The prevailing Party or Limited Party in any action
concerning the enforcement or interpretation of the Tank Agreement and this Addendum
shall be awarded, in addition to any damages or other form of relief awarded, all
reasonable costs incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees and costs
through all appeals.
21. Governing Law. The Tank Agreement and this Addendum shall be
governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. Any
action brought to enforce the Tank Agreement or arising out of the Tank Agreement and
{00350790.DOCX /}/ 3} 18
this Addendum shall be brought in the State of Colorado, Eagle County District Court, as
the exclusive venue and forum.
22. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of the Tank
Agreement or this Addendum is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Tank Agreement as modified by
this Addendum shall, unless amended or modified as provided in Section 17 above,
continue in full force and effect so long as enforcement of the remaining provisions
would not deprive the Party(ies) or Limited Parties against whom they are being enforced
of a material benefit of the bargain under the Tank Agreement and this Addendum or
otherwise be inequitable to such Party or Limited Party under the facts and circumstances
then pertaining.
23. Entire Agreement. The Tank Agreement as modified by this Addendum
shall be construed to constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and Limited
Parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and to supersede all previous oral or
written communications, representations, understandings, undertakings, or agreements
between the Parties and Limited Parties.
24. Counterpart Execution. This Addendum may be signed in multiple
counterparts, with facsimile signatures permitted, and each counterpart when taken with
the other executed counterpart shall constitute a binding agreement among the Parties and
the Limited Parties as of the Effective Date (with respect to those provisions that are
effective as of the Effective Date).
25. Notices. All approvals, consents, notices, objections, and other
communications (a “Notice” and, collectively, “Notices”) under the Tank Agreement and
this Addendum shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given and received when
personally delivered, or sent by overnight courier, or by email (pdf), or by registered or

{00268750.DOC / 9} 5
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, t he Parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT TERMS
1. Settlement Term Sheet; Effective Date; Implementation Date. The terms and
provisions of this Tank Agreement are intended to implement, and as of the Implementation Date
shall be deemed to have implemented, the terms of Section 3 of the Term Sheet. Certain rights,
obligations, waivers and releases of the Parties to this Tank Agreement are described as arising
with reference to the Effective Date and/or by their terms are necessarily to be performed prior to
the Implementation Date in order to enable the Implementation Date to occur. Such matters
attach, are operative and are legally binding on the Parties as of the Effective Date. Certain
rights, obligations, waivers and releases of the Parties to this Tank Agreement are described as
arising with reference to the Implementation Date and/or by their terms are necessarily capable
of being performed only from and after the Implementation Date. Such matters shall be deemed
to have attached, become operative and legally binding on the Parties only upon the occurrence
of, and shall be of no force or effect prior to, the Implementation Date. Accordingly, this Tank
Agreement shall not be required to be deposited into the Escrow, although the executed Pledge
Agreement shall be required to be deposited into the Escrow as provided in Section 9.a below.
2. Service Agreement. From and after the Implementation Date, the terms and
provisions of this Tank Agreement amend the following terms of the Service Agreement:
a. Section 2(b) as the terms of Section 2(b) apply to the ownership of the water
rights to be used to service the Property; and
b. Section 5 as it provides for construction of the Storage Tank.
3. Bid-Ready Plans.
a. Prior to the Effective Date, TCMD and the Authority executed and delivered the
Agreement for Payment of Costs of Water Storage Tank Design attached as
Exhibit C hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Design Costs
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Design Costs Agreement and subject to the terms
and conditions thereof, TCMD has transferred to the Authority the sum o f
$66,585.00. The Authority shall have the obligation to contract for and cause
completion of the Bid-Ready Plans, and the Authority shall be responsible for
payment of any costs thereof that exceed $66,585.00 at such time as this Tank
Agreement is fully executed and delivered to the Authority. To the extent such
expenses can be incorporated into the Tank Project Bonds without exceeding the
Annual Debt Service Pledge Amount (as defined in Section 9.a.i below) the
Authority shall first be entitled to reimbursement for its costs incurred in
obtaining completion of the Bid-Ready Plans pursuant to Section 9.b below.
Thereafter, to the extent such expenses can be incorporated into the Tank Project
Bonds without exceeding the Annual Debt Service Pledge Amount (as defined in
Section 9.a.i below), TCMD shall be entitled to reimbursement for its expenses up
{00268750.DOC / 9} 6
to $66,585.00 incurred in obtaining completion of the Bid-Ready Plans pursuant
to Section 9.b below.
b. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Authority shall secure
completion o f the Bid-Ready Plans by causing updates to the 2005 Plans to be
completed, and shall cause delivery of such completed Bid-Ready Plans to BNP,
TCMD and Master Developer.
c. Upon the earlier to occur of commencement of construction of the Tank Project or
the date on which closing of the Tank Project Bonds occurs, Master Developer
and TCMD shall assign to the Authority, without any representation or warranty,
all o f their right, title and interest in and to the Bid-Ready Plans and any and all
work product resulting therefrom.
4. Obligation to Prepare Construction Cost Estimates and to Bid the Tank Project;
Contract Award. After completion and delivery of the Bid-Ready Plans as provided in Section 3
above, which shall include construction cost estimates for the Tank Project based on the Bid-
Ready Plans, the Authority may thereafter, in its sole and absolute discretion, solicit bids on the
Tank Project. The Authority shall follow its normal bidding practices or may utilize an
“integrated project delivery” (Design/Build) process for all or portions of the Tank Project as is
customary for the Authority. Prior to awarding any contracts with respect to the Tank Project,
the Implementation Date shall have occurred and the Authority shall provide to TCMD, BNP
and Master Developer at least ten (10) business days to review and comment upon all bid
proposals. The Authority shall be solely responsible for contracting for the construction of the
Tank Project and shall not be required to secure the approval of any other Party of the bid or the
contract(s) for the Tank Project. TCMD, BNP and Master Developer shall determine to their
satisfaction and then confirm in writing to the Authority that the Tank Project Bonds can be
serviced without exceeding the $500,000 per year maximum Annual Debt Service Pledge
Amount (as defined in Sect ion 9.a.i below). In furtherance of Section 9.b, the Authority shall
provide written notice to BNP and TCMD that it is satisfied the Tank Project Bonds can be
serviced without exceeding the $500,000 per year maximum Annual Debt Service Pledge
Amount (as defined in Section 9.a.i below) as a condition precedent to the Implementation Date
and the release of the Pledge Agreement from Escrow. In making the foregoing determination,
all “Mandatory Costs” (as defined in Section 9.b below) shall be incorporated, together with such
“Discretionary Costs” (as defined in Section 9.b below), if any, determined pursuant to Sections
3 and 9.b to be desirable and capable of being financed through the Tank Project Bonds.
5. Tank Site, Access Road, Permits and Landscaping. From and after the Effective
Date, the Authority shall be solely responsible for securing all permits for the construction of the
Tank Project, except any 1041 Permit Avon chooses to require or to issue, including any permit
required by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (including without
limitation any and all stormwater discharge permits), and shall have access to any information
previously provided to permitting authorities by TCMD or Master Developer. The Authority
shall not be required to include a 1041 Permit in the scope of work for any contract for any
Engineering & Design Work for the Tank Project. No new or additional studies shall be required
by Avon for the Tank Project. Avon also shall waive all fees, including review fees, for any and
{00268750.DOC / 9} 7
all permits it may require for the Tank Project. Avon shall permit the Authority to construct the
Tank Project on the Tank Site and shall not require a subdivision improvement agreement with
respect to the Tank Project. Avon shall not require the posting of any collateral, bond or other
form of assurance of completion with respect to the Tank Project, other than this Tank
Agreement. Avon’s waiver of financial security for the Tank Project shall not extend or apply to
any future water storage tank project which is pursued if this Tank Agreement expires or is
terminated without completion of the Storage Tank, nor shall such waiver apply to any additional
tanks that may be required to serve higher elevations of the Property. If portions of the Access
Road are improved as a public road, such portions shall be dedicated to Avon and accepted by
Avon for maintenance immediately following completion o f the same to Avon’s standards for
dedication of a public street then in effect, but neither the Authority nor Avon shall have any
responsibility to improve the Access Road to such standards. The Authority shall have no further
responsibility for the physical condition of the Access Road after two (2) years from the date the
Authority accepts the Tank Project after the completion of construction. Pending dedication to
and acceptance by Avon of the Access Road, the owner or owners of the property upon which
the Access Road is constructed shall be responsible for maintenance of the Access Road so long
as it remains closed to use by the general public; such maintenance shall not include snow
removal, but must be sufficient to permit continued access to the Storage Tank by the Authority
for operation and maintenance of the Storage Tank. Any Party who uses the Access Road at a
time when snow is present shall be responsible to plow the snow as necessary to permit ingress
and egress so long as the Access Road remains closed to use by the general public. The
Authority shall be solely responsible for approving all progress payments and disbursements to
the contractor or contractors for the Tank Project. Any inspections of construction by Avon shall
be in its discretion and at its sole cost and expense. The landscaping requirements set forth in the
Bid-Ready Plans supersede all previously adopted landscaping requirements and the Authority
shall only be responsible to perform and install those landscaping improvements set forth in the
Bid-Ready Plans, to warrant the same until expiration of two complete growing seasons, and to
thereafter maintain all such landscaping improvements that are installed within the Tank Site.
Master Developer shall, to the extent required by applicable requirements of The Village (at
Avon) Design Review Board, be responsible to obtain such board’s approval of the landscape
requirements set forth in the Bid-Ready Plans. Any additional landscaping that a Party desires
within the Tank Site shall be allowed at the sole expense of such Party, subject to the Authority’s
reasonable determination that such additional landscaping improvements will not impair or
interfere with the Authority’s operation and maintenance of the Storage Tank, and further subject
to review and approval by The Village (at Avon) Design Review Board.
6. Wetlands Mitigation. The Authority shall be solely responsible for obtaining and
maintaining any wetland permits required in order to complete the Tank Project, including the
Access Road. If the Bid-Ready Plans include the switchback design of the Access Road to the
Storage Tank which affords the opportunity for wetlands mitigation unrelated to the Tank Project
that may be completed by Master Developer or TCMD, the actual wetlands mitigation vegetation
replanting for such wetlands mitigation unrelated to the Tank Project shall not be required of the
Authority and shall not be part of the Authority’s permit obligations or construction contract or
included in the construction costs to be financed by the Tank Project Bonds. The Authority shall
have no responsibility for permits or wetlands mitigation requirements for the Property which are
unrelated to the Tank Project and not incorporated in the Bid-Ready Plans.
{00268750.DOC / 9} 8
7. Conveyance o f Water Rights. Section 2(b) of the Service Agreement provided for
the lease by Master Developer’s predecessor to Avon for sublease without cost to the Authority
certain water rights sufficient to replace the consumptive use associated with the development of
the Property as ultimately decreed by the Water Court. By the terms of a Water Lease, dated
November 4, 2002, certain TCMD water rights (Exhibit 2 thereto), certain historic consumptive
use credits dedicated to the plan for augmentation approved in Case No. 97CW306 (Exhibit 3
thereto), and 10.8 acre-feet of Wolford Mountain Reservoir contract water were leased by
TCMD to Avon. By the terms of a Water Sublease, dated November 4, 2002, Avon subleased
the same water rights to the Authority. In consideration of the undertakings of the Authority
pursuant to this Tank Agreement, on the Effective Date the following instruments shall be
executed for deposit to the Escrow:
a. TCMD shall assign and convey to Avon by Special Warranty Deed in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1, all o f its right, title and
interest in and to the water rights described therein (collectively, the “Water
Rights”), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, together with all diversion
ditches, pipelines, headgates and structures, pumps, casings and other
improvements and easements associated or used in connection with the Water
Rights as becomes necessary from time to time in order for the Authority to
provide municipal water service to the Property (“Appurtenances”), reserving
unto TCMD all rights of access and use of the Appurtenances to the extent not
required to provide municipal water service for the Property. Prior to the
execution of this Special Warranty Deed and its delivery to the Escrow, TCMD
shall also provide to the Authority and to Avon a written Title Opinion in a form
acceptable to the Authority concerning the Water Rights and Appurtenances
conveyed by this Special Warranty Deed which indicates that TCMD owns title to
the Water Rights and the land underlying the Appurtenances free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances, subject only to the Water Lease dated November 4,
2002, from TCMD to Avon and the Water Sublease dated November 4, 2002,
from Avon to the Authority. The commencement date of the record title search of
the Water Rights under the Title Opinion shall be the date of the decree in
Division No. 5 Case No. 97CW306 or the date of conveyance of the Water Rights
and Appurtenances to TCMD, whichever date is earlier.
b. Concurrently with the conveyance described in subparagraph 7.a above, Avon
shall assign and convey by Special Warranty Deed in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D-2, the Water Rights and Appurtenances to the
Authority, subject to a right of reverter to Avon in the event the Authority fails to
provide water service to the Property (excepting temporary cessation of water
service due to reasonable maintenance requirements or emergency conditions or
actions by the Authority as authorized by its Rules and Regulations).
c. TCMD and Master Developer shall, without further action or documentation, be
deemed to have waived any ownership interest in the thirty (30) acre-feet of Eagle
Park Reservoir water previously obtained by the Authority in its name using funds
provided by TCMD.
{00268750.DOC / 9} 9
d. Any obligation to lease water rights to Avon or the Authority and any obligation
of TCMD or Master Developer to construct a water storage tank to serve
approximately 2,800 SFEs (single family equivalents) under the terms of the
Service Agreement, the Water Lease or the Water Sublease shall be considered
satisfied in full once the Water Rights and Appurtenances have been conveyed to
the Authority as provided herein and once the Storage Tank has been constructed
and is fully operational as provided herein. However, the obligation to fund the
construction o f the Storage Tank and all appurtenant facilities shall continue until
the Tank Project Bonds are paid in full and the Pledge Agreement has been
terminated. This paragraph shall not be construed to relieve TCMD, Master
Developer, or any other owner of the Property, or portion thereof, from the
obligation to provide additional water rights to serve development on the Property
in excess of what is approved by the decree o f the District Court in and for Water
Division No. 5 in Case No. 97CW306.
e. The Authority shall undertake the ongoing responsibility for any Water Court
filings necessary to continue and/or to make absolute the Metcalf Ditch Headgate
and Raw Water Booster Pump conditional rights decreed in Case No. 97CW306.
TCMD and the Authority shall continue to cooperate with each other in all Water
Court matters involving the rights decreed in Case No. 97CW306. The Authority
shall file any application necessary to maintain and/or make absolute the Metcalf
Ditch Headgate and Raw Water Booster Pump. In the sole and absolute
discretion of the Authority, the Authority may require TCMD to file as a co-
applicant.
In connection with the development of the Property, the Parties acknowledge that the
Appurtenances may need to be modified, piped, buried or otherwise improved at TCMD’s or
Master Developer’s sole cost and discretion. The instruments effecting the foregoing assignment
and conveyance of the Water Rights and Appurtenances (the “Water Instruments”) shall be
deposited into the Escrow not later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, but shall not be
deemed legally effective or operative until formally delivered and/or recorded on the
I mplementation Date.
8. Moratorium. For a number of years the Authority has imposed a moratorium upon
further water service within the Property. From and after formal delivery from the Escrow of the
Water Instruments, the Special Warranty Deed to the Tank Site, the Easement Agreement and
the Pledge Agreement on the Implementation Date:
a. the moratorium shall be rescinded by Resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Authority, effective upon release of the Pledge Agreement, the
Deeds and the Easement Agreement from the Escrow; and
b. the Authority, without need of further action, legally binds itself to:
i. construct the Storage Tank as soon as practicable after the Authority has
completed the issuance of the Tank Project Bonds and given Notice to
{00268750.DOC / 9} 10
Proceed to the contractor for the Tank Project; thereafter, no delay or
problem (foreseen or unforeseen) in completing construction of the
Storage Tank shall relieve the Authority of its obligation to provide
potable water service to the Property pursuant to its Rules and Regulations
and any delay in completing construction of the Storage Tank shall not be
a basis for re-imposing the moratorium rescinded pursuant to Section 8.a
hereof, except if the Authority is delayed in completing construction of the
Storage Tank by the acts or omissions of the other Parties or Limited
Parties; and
ii. provide potable water service to the Property, subject to the terms of the
decree of the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5, Case No.
97CW306, up to a maximum of 106.3 consumptive acre feet per year, and
further subject to the improvements to be constructed, or improvements
previously constructed, within t he area of the Property physically capable
of being served by the Storage Tank (at elevations one-hundred-forty
(140) feet below the base of the Storage Tank, or above such elevation
upon construction of additional pumping and/or tank storage capacity
above such elevation); and
iii. issue taps for potable water service as described in subparagraph 8.b.ii
above upon payment of any applicable fees, compliance with generally
applicable engineering/technical requirements for connection to the
Authority’s water distribution system and compliance with the conditions
for service as set forth in the Authority’s Rules and Regulations; and
c. any development within the Property located at an elevation higher than the
property that can be served by the Storage Tank will require additional treated
water storage to be constructed by someone other than the Authority or Avon at
elevations higher than the Storage Tank elevation if such development is to be
served by the Authority; and
d. the Authority’s commitment to provide potable water service pursuant to the
terms o f the decree in Case No. 97CW306 up to 106.3 consumptive acre feet per
year and to issue taps therefore as set forth in this Section 8 shall inure to the
benefit of TCMD; and
e. as of the Effective Date, an SFE is equivalent to 714 gallons of treated water
storage and if TCMD wants the Authority to provide water service to more than
2,800 SFEs, TCMD will have to provide additional treated water storage; or, if
water service is proposed to development located above the service area of the
Storage Tank, TCMD shall be required to construct and dedicate an additional
water storage tank or tanks to t he Authority; however, this provision shall not be
construed to imply that the decree in Case No. 97CW306 permits service to
approximately 2,800 SFEs, and shall not modify the provisions of subparagraph
8.f set forth below; and
{00268750.DOC / 9} 11
f. if any Party wants the Authority to provide service in excess of what is authorized
by the decree in Case No. 97CW306, the Party first needs to provide additional
water rights and pay all costs incurred by the Authority to adjudicate the
necessary water rights to provide the increased level of service; and
g. each Party and Limited Party shall have direct rights to enforce the terms and
conditions of this Section 8.
9. Public Financing of the Tank Project. The Tank Project public financing shall be
accomplished by the following actions of TCMD, the Authority and Avon:
a. Pledge; TCMD Bond Reissue. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, but
in any event prior to the Implementation Date, the Authority, BNP, TCMD and
VMD shall mutually execute and deposit into the Escrow a pledge agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and incorporated herein by this
reference (the “Pledge Agreement”). The Pledge Agreement shall, in accordance
with its terms and conditions, become legally operative and binding on each party
thereto only upon formal delivery from the Escrow on the Implementation Date.
From and after the Effective Date, TCMD and VMD shall coordinate with BNP to
cause the reissue of TCMD’s existing bonded indebtedness on the Implementation
Date (the “TCMD Bond Reissue”) so as to enable performance of TCMD’s and
VMD’s obligations under the Pledge Agreement. Without limit ing of the terms of
the TCMD Bond Reissue documents or the Pledge Agreement, the terms and
conditions o f which shall control over any descriptive language herein (which
shall not be used to interpret or modify the terms and conditions of the Pledge
Agreement in any manner whatsoever):
i. The Pledge Agreement sets forth the pledge of TCMD and VMD to pay to
the Authority $500,000 or such lesser amount as may be necessary to fully
pay the annual debt service on the Tank Project Bonds (as defined in the
Pledge Agreement, the “Annual Debt Service Pledge Amount”). If such
amount is not sufficient to fully pay the annual debt service on the Tank
Project Bonds, the Authority shall not be required to issue the Bonds or
construct the Tank and the Authority shall be released from such
obligations and BNP shall be released from any obligation it may have to
cause the TCMD Bond Reissue to occur.
ii. The term of the Pledge Agreement (and of the obligation to remit the
Annual Debt Service Pledge Amount) shall commence not later than the
issue date of the Tank Project Bonds, and shall terminate on the date on
which the Tank Project Bonds are paid in full.
iii. During the term of the Pledge Agreement, the Pledged Revenue (as
defined in the Pledge Agreement) shall be applied to payment of the
Annual Debt Service Pledge Amount on a periodic basis on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Pledge Agreement.
{00268750.DOC / 9} 12
b. Tank Project Bonds. Concurrently with the closing of the TCMD Bond Reissue,
the Authority shall issue bonds to finance construction of the Tank Project (as
defined in the Pledge Agreement, the “Tank Project Bonds”). The Tank Project
Bonds will be issued (i) in a par amount sufficient to pay the “Mandatory Costs”
described in this Section below and (ii) with annual debt service which can be
fully paid by the Annual Debt Service Obligation payable by the Districts
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. The par amount of the Tank Project Bonds will
be increased to include as much of the “Discretionary Costs” described in this
Section below as possible without increasing the annual debt service on the Tank
Project Bonds above the Annual Debt Service Obligation payable by the Districts
in the Pledge Agreement. For purposes of this Section 9.b, “Mandatory Costs”
means: (iii) the estimated costs (including construction costs, contingencies and
the cost of construction management services to be provided by the Authority) of
the Tank Project, plus (iv) the costs of issuance of and reserve requirements for
the Tank Project Bonds. For purposes of this Section 9.b, “Discretionary Costs”
means the following costs: (v) $134,119.23 presently due to the Authority from
TCMD as described in Section 10 below, and (vi) as described in Section 3 above,
the Authority shall first be entitled to reimbursement for its costs incurred in
obtaining completion of the Bid-Ready Plans and thereafter TCMD shall be
entitled to reimbursement for its expenses up to $66,585.00 incurred in obtaining
completion of the Bid-Ready Plans (with all such TCMD reimbursed expenses to
utilized for payment of debt service to BNP). Once the Authority has completed
the issuance of the Tank Project Bonds and given Notice to Proceed to the
contractor for the Tank Project, the Authority shall proceed to complete the
Storage Tank and make it operational as soon as possible.
c. Avon Actions. In consideration of the undertakings of the other Parties to this
Tank Agreement and other benefits to Avon from implementation of the Term
Sheet, as of the Effective Date and without the requirement of further action,
Avon: (i) waives and releases any claim to revenues of TCMD and VMD required
to pay the Annual Debt Service Pledge Amount; (ii) covenants that it will exercise
the right of reverter set forth in the Water Instruments upon a triggering event as
described in Section 7 above; and (iii) covenants that it will undertake and be
responsible for the provision of water service to the Property in the event of a
dissolution o f the Authority or otherwise upon exercising the right of reverter
described in Section 7 above.
{00268750.DOC / 9} 13
10. Other Consideration.
a. Immediately upon formal delivery of the Pledge Agreement on the

Authority shall be deemed to have irrevocably released TCMD from any
obligation to pay the sum of $20,387.22 due for the remainder of the Authority’s
professional fees incurred in adjudicating a plan for augmentation and exchange
to allow the Authority to use 10.8 acre-feet of storage in Wolford Mountain and
Ruedi Reservoirs acquired from the Traer Creek entities.
b. If the amount presently due to the Authority ($134,119.23) from TCMD pursuant
to the Agreement dated November 4, 2002, is paid in full or in part by TCMD or
Master Developer (Master Developer having no legal obligation to make such
payment), or if the amount due is able to be refinanced (in whole or in part) as
part of the Tank Project Bonds, immediately upon such payment or refinancing

or both, from the obligation to pay that portion of the obligation to the Authority.
If the amount due is not paid in full or cannot be fully re-financed as part of the
Tank Project Bonds, TCMD shall continue to make annual payments to the
Authority in September of each year in the amount of $11,880 until the
$134,119.23 obligation is satisfied in full. The Authority hereby agrees no other
professional fees are owed to it by TCMD, VMD or Master Developer and the
Authority hereby expressly releases any other such claims for fees through the
Effective Date.

Project Bonds, or to bid and construct the Tank Project. The Authority shall own the Storage
Tank and all capacity therein for treated water storage and shall provide all maintenance and
operation services for the Storage Tank and the Tank Site at its sole cost and expense. The
Parties acknowledge that the Tank Project anticipates and will be designed to accommodate and
connect to future water storage tank(s) to be located uphill from the Storage Tank.
13. Prior Agreements Not Fully Superseded; No Cross-Defaults. Except to the extent
that Section 2(b) and Section 5 of the Service Agreement are amended and/or superseded by the
express terms of this Tank Agreement, the Service Agreement and any other agreement
referenced in this Tank Agreement that was executed prior to the Effective Date (“Prior
Agreement(s)”) shall continue in effect in accordance with such agreements’ terms, and the
parties thereto shall maintain all of their rights, duties and obligations set forth therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Prior
Agreement , no default under this Tank Agreement shall be construed to be a default under any
Prior Agreement and no default under any Prior Agreement shall be construed to be a default
under this Tank Agreement.
14. Default ; Remedies; Rights of Limited Parties and Intended Beneficiaries.
a. Default of a Party. A default by a Party is a failure by such Party to fully perform
any of its duties and obligations set forth in this Tank Agreement.
b. Default of either Limited Party. The obligations of BNP and VMD under this
Tank Agreement are expressly limited to those set forth in Section 9.a above, and
BNP and VMD shall have no liability arising pursuant to this Tank Agreement to
any Party or any Intended Beneficiary except to the extent of BNP’s or VMD’s
{00268750.DOC / 9} 15
failure to fully perform their respective duties and obligations as expressly set
forth in Section 9.a above.
c. Cure Period. Default will not occur until a non-defaulting Party provides the
defaulting Party thirty (30) days written notice describing the default, and the
defaulting Party is given the opportunity during such time to cure the default.
d. Remedies.
i. Parties and Limited Parties. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an
uncured default, any non-defaulting Party and/or any non-defaulting
Limited Party shall, except to the extent limited by an express provision of
this Tank Agreement, be entitled to enforce the provisions and any remedy
provided in this Tank Agreement at law or in equity, and relief in the
nature of injunctive relief, mandamus, specific performance (if allowed by
law against any local government that is a Party or Limited Party) or
damages or a combination thereof may be awarded. The remedies
available shall include, but not be limited to, ex parte applications for
temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent
injunctions and actions for specific performance (if allowed by law against
any local government that is a Party or Limited Party) of the defaulting
Party’s or Limited Party’s obligations and/or damages. All of the
remedies permitted or available under this Tank Agreement, at law, by
statute or in equity shall be cumulative and not in the alternative, and
invocation o f any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or
election o f remedies with respect to any other permitted or available right
or remedy. Additionally, in consideration of this Tank Agreement
constituting an intergovernmental agreement by and among Avon, the
Authority, TCMD and VMD, each such governmental or
quasi-governmental entity expressly affirms its intent that the obligations
of each such governmental or quasi-governmental entity are to be enforced
in accordance with their terms.
ii. Intended Beneficiaries.
1. The Developer Affiliates shall have the right to enforce the
Authority’s obligations pursuant to Section 8, together with the
right to enforce any right of Master Developer and pursue any
remedy available to Master Developer in the event of a default by
another of the Parties.
2. Except with respect to those expressly stated rights the Intended
Beneficiaries have under this Tank Agreement, no Developer
Affiliate is subject to any obligation nor has it acquired any
enforcement right or remedy arising solely under this Tank
Agreement.
{00268750.DOC / 9} 16
15. Assignment. Any Party or Limited Party may assign its rights, duties and
obligations under this Tank Agreement upon the prior written consent of the other Parties and the
Limited Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In
addition, the assignor shall provide the other Parties and Limited Part ies with copies of all
relevant documentation of such assignment.
16. No Waiver; Governmental Immunity; Annual Appropriation. Any Party’s or
Limited Party’s waiver of, or failure to pursue any available remedy for, a breach of any term or
provision of this Tank Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach by any Party or Limited Party. Additionally, and notwithstanding any
provision o f this Tank Agreement to the contrary, no term or condition of this Tank Agreement
shall be construed or interpreted as a waiver, either express or implied, of any of the immunities,
rights, benefits or protection provided to TCMD, VMD, the Authority and Avon under the
Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, §§ 24-10-101 et seq., C.R.S. The obligations of the
Authority and Avon hereunder are subject to the annual appropriation of funds necessary for the
performance thereof, which appropriations shall be made in the sole discretion of the Authority’s
Board of Directors or the Avon Town Council as applicable.
17. Amendment; Modification. This Tank Agreement may be modified only by the
signed, written agreement of the Parties or their respective agents, successors and assigns. The
prior written consent of the Limited Parties shall not be required except to the extent the
proposed modification directly and expressly affects a right or obligation of the Limited Parties,
and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Additionally, the
Parties and the Limited Part ies acknowledge that the TCMD Bond Reissue documentation is
anticipated to preclude TCMD and/or VMD from entering into any modification of this Tank
Agreement without the prior written consent of BNP, which consent BNP shall not unreasonably
withho ld, condition or delay.
18. Further Cooperation. The Parties and Limited Parties shall reasonably cooperate
with one another to effectuate the intent of the Parties and Limited Part ies as described herein,
including without limitation, executing any and all further instruments and documents, and doing
and performing such further and additional acts and things necessary or proper to effectuate or
further evidence the terms and provisions of this Tank Agreement.

they have full right and capacity to enter into this Tank Agreement and have taken any and all
actions required and have any and all necessary approvals to enter into this Tank Agreement.
20. Attorneys’ Fees. The prevailing Party or Limited Party in any action concerning
the enforcement or interpretation of this Tank Agreement shall be awarded, in addition to any
damages or other form of relief awarded, all reasonable costs incurred in connection therewith,
including attorneys’ fees and costs through all appeals.
21. Governing Law. This Tank Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. Any action brought to enforce this Tank
{00268750.DOC / 9} 17
Agreement or arising out of this Tank Agreement shall be brought in the State of Colorado,
Eagle County District Court, as the exclusive venue and forum.
22. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Tank
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions of this Tank Agreement shall, unless amended or modified as provided in
Section 17 above, continue in full force and effect so long as enforcement of the remaining
provisions would not deprive the Party(ies) or Limited Part ies against whom they are being
enforced of a material benefit of the bargain under this Tank Agreement or otherwise be
inequitable to such Party or Limited Party under the facts and circumstances then pertaining.
23. Entire Agreement. From and after the Implementation Date, this Tank Agreement
shall be construed to constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and Limited Parties with
respect to the matters set forth herein and to supersede all previous oral or written

the Term Sheet except as it pertains to the 1041 Permit.

counterparts, with facsimile signatures permitted, and each counterpart when taken with the other

Effective Date) or as of the Implementation Date (with respect to those provisions that are
effective only upon occurrence of the Implementation Date).
