Section 7. No General Obligation Debt. No provision of this Ordinance, the

any constitutional, statutory, or Charter provision, nor a mandatory charge or requirement

provisions of the Lease. Neither the Lease nor the Certificates shall constitute a
mandatory charge or requirement of the Town in any ensuing fiscal year beyond the then
current fiscal year or constitute or give rise to a general obligation or other indebtedness
or multiple fiscal year financial obligation of the Town within the meaning of any
constitutional, statutory or Charter debt limitation and shall not constitute a multiple fiscal
year direct or indirect Town debt or other financial obligation whatsoever. No provision

delegation of governmental powers nor as a donation by or a lending of the credit of the
Town within the meaning of Article XI of the Colorado Constitution. Neither the Lease nor
5
the Certificates shall directly or indirectly obligate the Town to make any payments
beyond those budgeted and appropriated for the Town's then current fiscal year.
Section 8. Reasonableness of Rentals. The Town Council hereby determines
and declares that the Base Rentals do not exceed a reasonable amount so as to place
the Town under an economic compulsion to renew the Lease or to exercise its option to
purchase the Leased Property pursuant to the Lease. The Town Council hereby
determines and declares that the period during which the Town has an option to purchase
the Leased Property (i.e., the entire maximum term of the Lease) does not exceed the
remaining useful life of the Leased Property.
Section 9. No Recourse against Officers and Agents. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 11-
57-209, if any Town official or agent acts in good faith, no civil recourse shall be available
against such member, officer, or agent for payment of the principal, interest or prior
redemption premiums on the Certificates. Such recourse shall not be available either
directly or indirectly through the Town Council or the Town, or otherwise, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute, rule of law, enforcement of penalty, or otherwise. By
the acceptance of the Certificates and as a part of the consideration of their sale or
purchase, any person purchasing or selling such certificate specifically waives any such
recourse.
Section 10. Repealer. All bylaws, orders, resolutions and ordinances, or parts
thereof, inconsistent herewith are repealed to the extent only of such inconsistency. This
repealer shall not be construed to revise any bylaw, order, resolution or ordinance, or part
thereof, theretofore repealed.
Section 11. Charter Controls. Pursuant to Article XX of the Colorado Constitution
and the Charter, all State statutes that might otherwise apply in connection with the
provisions of this ordinance are hereby superseded to the extent of any inconsistencies
or conflicts between the provisions of this ordinance and the Sale Certificate authorized
hereby and such statutes. Any such inconsistency or conflict is intended by the Town
Council and shall be deemed made pursuant to the Authority of Article XX of the Colorado
Constitution and the Charter.
Section 12. Severability. If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or
phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not effect
the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town Council hereby
declares it would have passed this Ordinance, and each part, section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more parts,
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

indirectly obligate the Town to renew the Lease from Fiscal Year to Fiscal Year or to make any

Execution; Global Book-Entry System. Each Certificate shall be
executed with the manual signature of a duly authorized representative of the Trustee. It shall not
be necessary that the same authorized representative of the Trustee sign all of the Certificates
executed and delivered hereunder. In case any authorized representative of the Trustee whose
signature appears on the Certificates ceases to be such representative before delivery of the
Certificates, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as
if such authorized representative had remained as such authorized representative until delivery.
No Certificate shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or
benefit hereunder unless and until executed in the manner prescribed by this Section, and such
execution of any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence that such Certificate has been properly
executed and delivered hereunder.
DTC is initially acting as Depository for any Certificates. The Certificates for which DTC
is acting as Depository shall be initially executed and delivered as set forth herein with a separate
fully registered certificate (in printed or type-written form) for each of the maturities bearing
interest at the same interest rate of the Certificates. Upon initial execution and delivery, the
ownership of any Certificates for which DTC is acting as Depository shall be registered in the
registration books kept by the Trustee, in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC or such
other nominee as DTC shall appoint in writing to the Trustee.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to take any and all actions as may be necessary and not
inconsistent with this Indenture in order to qualify any Certificates for the Depository’s book-entry
system, including the execution of the Depository’s form of Representation Letter.
With respect to any Certificates which shall or may be registered in the registration books
kept by the Trustee in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Trustee shall not have any
responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participants or to any Beneficial Owners. Without limiting
the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall not have any responsibility or obligation
with respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with
respect to any ownership interest in the Certificates, (b) the delivery to any DTC Participant, any
Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than DTC, of any notice with respect to the
Certificates, including any notice of redemption, or (c) the payment to any DTC Participant, any
Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than DTC, of any amount with respect to the principal
of and premium, if any, or interest on the Certificates; except that so long as any Certificate is
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, any Beneficial Owner of $1,000,000
or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificates who has filed a written request to receive
notices, containing such Beneficial Owner’s name and address, with the Trustee shall be provided
with all notices relating to such Certificates by the Trustee.
Except as set forth above, the Trustee may treat as and deem DTC or its nominee to be the
absolute Owner of each Certificate for which DTC is acting as Depository for all purposes,
including payment of the principal of and premium and interest on such Certificate, giving notices
of redemption and registering transfers with respect to such Certificates. The Trustee shall pay all
12
principal of and interest on the Certificates only to or upon the order of the Owners as shown on
the registration books kept by the Trustee or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing
and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the obligations
with respect to the principal of and interest on the Certificates to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid.
No person other than an Owner, as shown on the registration books kept by the Trustee,
shall receive a Certificate. Upon delivery by DTC to the DTC Participants and the Trustee, a
written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede
& Co., and subject to the transfer provisions in Section 2.06 hereof, references to “Cede & Co.” in
this Section shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to any Certificates
at any time after giving written notice to the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with
respect thereto under applicable law. The Trustee, upon the written direction of the Town, may
terminate the services of DTC with respect to any Certificates if it determines that DTC is unable
to discharge its responsibilities with respect to such Certificates or that continuation of the system
of book-entry transfers through DTC is not in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners, and the
Trustee shall provide notice of such termination to the Depository.
Upon the termination of the services of DTC as provided in the previous paragraph, and if
no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of DTC in respect of the Certificates
can be found which, in the opinion of the Town is willing and able to undertake such functions
upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the Town determines that it is in the best interests of the
Beneficial Owners of the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated Certificates, the
Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the registration books of the Trustee
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or names
the Owners shall designate at that time, in accordance with Section 2.06. To the extent that the
Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Owners, in accordance with
Section 2.06, the Certificates will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.
Delivery of Certificates. Upon the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute the Certificates in the name of Cede & Co. and to

Certificates are in the hands of DTC or Owners and one or more of the Certificates is mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Certificate may be executed by the Trustee, of like date, series,
maturity, interest rate and denomination as that mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed; provided that
the Trustee shall have received indemnity from DTC or the Owner of the Certificate, as the case
may be, satisfactory to it and provided further, in case of any mutilated Certificate, that such
mutilated Certificate shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the case of any lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate, that there shall be first furnished to the Trustee evidence of such loss, theft
or destruction satisfactory to the Trustee. In the event that any such Certificate shall have matured,
instead of executing and delivering a duplicate Certificate, the Trustee may pay the same without
surrender thereof. The Trustee may charge DTC or the Owner of the Certificate, as the case may
be, with its reasonable fees and expenses in connection herewith.

and of the same maturity.

such other location as it shall designate for an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificates of

receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
All Certificates presented for transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in form and with guaranty of
signature satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by the Owner or by his or her attorney duly
authorized in writing.
The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Certificate during the period
of fifteen (15) days next preceding any Interest Payment Date nor to transfer or exchange any
Certificate after providing of notice calling such Certificate for redemption has been made as
herein provided, nor during the period of fifteen (15) days next preceding the provision of such
notice of redemption.
New Certificates delivered upon any transfer or exchange shall evidence the same
obligations as the Certificates surrendered, shall be secured by this Indenture and entitled to all of
the security and benefits hereof to the same extent as the Certificates surrendered. The person in
whose name any Certificate shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of either principal or interest on any
Certificate shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Owner thereof or his, her or its
14
legal representative, but such registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All such
payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge such Certificate to the extent of the
sum or sums paid.
The Trustee shall require the payment, by any Owner requesting exchange or transfer of
Certificates, of any transfer fees, tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with
respect to such exchange or transfer as a precondition to such exchange or transfer.

advisor with respect of the Additional Certificates, together with written acknowledgment
of the Town Representative, to the Trustee to deliver the Additional Certificates to the

Qualified Surety Bond, (ii) a Qualified Surety Bond for cash or Permitted Investments, (iii) a
Qualified Surety Bond for another Qualified Surety Bond so long as the amount on deposit in the
Reserve Fund after any such substitution is at least equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement, or (iv)
a combination of cash and/or one or more Qualified Surety Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
or any other provisions contained herein, no Qualified Surety Bond shall be accepted by the
Trustee for substitution for cash or Permitted Investments unless the Trustee has received an
opinion of Special Counsel to the effect that such substitution and the intended use by the Town
of the cash or Permitted Investments to be released from the Reserve Fund will not adversely affect
the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Certificates.
For the purposes of determining the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund, a
Qualified Surety Bond shall be valued at the amount available to be drawn thereunder. If the
Reserve Fund contains both cash and a Qualified Surety Bond, all cash held in the Reserve Fund
shall be applied to the purposes of the Reserve Fund before a demand is made on the Qualified
Surety Bond. In the event that the Reserve Fund contains two or more Qualified Surety Bonds,
demands shall be made on such Qualified Surety Bonds on a pro-rata basis. All Revenues available
for replenishment of the Reserve Fund shall be applied first to reimburse the providers of the
Qualified Surety Bonds, and second to replenish cash in the Reserve Fund.
To the extent that draws are made on a Qualified Surety Bond that has been
deposited in the Reserve Fund, the Town has agreed to make any required payments to the provider
of such Qualified Surety Bond as Additional Rentals. The Town has further agreed that failure by
the Town to budget and appropriate moneys for the payment of Additional Rentals shall constitute
an Event of Nonappropriation.
20
Rebate Fund. A special fund is hereby created and established to be held
by the Trustee, and to be designated the “Town of Vail, Colorado, 2025 Lease Purchase
Agreement, Rebate Fund” (the “Rebate Fund”). To the extent necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Tax Certificate, the Trustee shall transfer into the Rebate Fund investment income
on moneys in any fund created hereunder (except defeasance escrows). In addition to the deposit
of investment income as provided herein, there shall be deposited into the Rebate Fund moneys
received from the Town as Additional Rentals for rebate payments pursuant to the Lease; moneys
transferred to the Rebate Fund from any other fund created hereunder pursuant to the provisions
of this Section; and all other moneys received by the Trustee when accompanied by directions not
inconsistent with the Lease or this Indenture that such moneys are to be paid into an account of the
Rebate Fund. The Town will cause (or direct the Trustee to cause) amounts on deposit in the
Rebate Fund to be forwarded to the United States Treasury at the address and times provided in
the Tax Certificate, and in the amounts calculated to ensure that the Town’s rebate obligations are
met, in accordance with the Town’s tax covenants in Section 10.5 of the Lease. Amounts on
deposit in the Rebate Fund shall not be subject to the lien of this Indenture to the extent that such
amounts are required to be paid to the United States Treasury.
If, at any time after the Trustee receives instructions by the Town to make any payments
from the Rebate Fund, the Trustee determines that the moneys on deposit in an account of the
Rebate Fund are insufficient for the purposes thereof, and if the Trustee does not receive Additional
Rentals or cannot transfer investment income so as to make the amount on deposit in the
appropriate account in the Rebate Fund sufficient for its purpose, the Trustee may transfer moneys
to an account in the Rebate Fund from the following funds in the following order of priority: the
Reserve Fund (to the extent it is cash-funded), and the Base Rentals Fund. Any moneys so
advanced from the Reserve Fund shall be included in the Town’s estimates of Additional Rentals
for the ensuing Fiscal Year pursuant to the Lease, and any moneys so advanced from the Base
Rentals Fund shall be included as an Additional Rental for the current Fiscal Year pursuant to the
Lease, and shall be repaid to the fund from which advanced upon payment to the Trustee of such
Additional Rentals. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an opinion of Special Counsel to the effect that
the amount in an account of the Rebate Fund is in excess of the amount required to be therein
pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Certificate, such excess shall be transferred to the Base
Rentals Fund.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating rebate amounts or for the adequacy or
correctness of any rebate report. The Town may, at its own expense, retain an independent firm
of professionals in such area to calculate such rebate amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lease has been terminated or the Town
has failed to comply with Section 10.5 thereof so as to make the amount on deposit in the Rebate
Fund sufficient for its purpose, the Trustee shall make transfers of investment income or of moneys
from the Base Rentals Fund in such combination as the Trustee determines to be in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners.
Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund. A special fund is hereby created
and established with the Trustee and designated the “Town of Vail, Colorado, 2025Lease Purchase
Agreement Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund.” Upon the delivery of the Certificates there
shall be deposited into the Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund from the proceeds of the
21
Certificates the amounts directed by Section 3.01 hereof and the Underwriter shall deliver to the
Trustee a closing memorandum detailing the anticipated amounts of Costs of Execution and
Delivery. Payments from the Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund shall be made by the Trustee
upon receipt of a statement or a bill for the provision of Costs of Execution and Delivery of the
Certificates approved by the Town Representative.
The Trustee shall transfer all moneys remaining in the Costs of Execution and Delivery
Fund to the Town upon the final payment of all Costs of Execution and Delivery (and in any event
not later than ninety (90) days following the Closing), as certified in writing by the Town
Representative. Any such remaining amounts so transferred to the Town shall be deposited by the
Town in the Base Rentals Fund.
Moneys to be Held in Trust. The ownership of the Base Rentals Fund,
Reserve Fund, the Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund, and all accounts within such Funds and
any other fund or account created hereunder (except defeasance escrow account) shall be held in
trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates; provided that moneys in the
Rebate Fund not be held in trust and shall be used only for the specific purpose provided in Section
3.05 hereof. Furthermore, the Trustee shall have no responsibility over or deemed knowledge of
any escrow, defeasance, or other fund or account not in trust under this Indenture.
Nonpresentment of Certificates. Any moneys deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture to be used for the payment of principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on any of the Certificates and remaining unclaimed by the Owners of such Certificates
for a period of three years after the final due date of any Certificate (during which three-year period
such moneys shall not be required to be invested by the trustee), whether the final date of maturity
or the final redemption date, shall, if the Town is not at the time, to the knowledge of the Trustee,
be in default with respect to any of the terms and conditions contained in this Indenture, in the
Certificates or under the Lease, be paid to the Town and such Owners shall thereafter look only to
the Town for payment and then only (a) to the extent of the amounts so received by the Town from
the Trustee without interest thereon, (b) subject to the defense of any applicable statute of
limitations and (c) subject to the Town’s Appropriation of such payment. After payment by the
Trustee of all of the foregoing, if any moneys are then remaining under this Indenture, the Trustee
shall pay such moneys to the Town as an overpayment of Base Rentals.
Repayment to the Town from the Trustee. After payment in full of the
Certificates, the interest thereon, any premium thereon, the fees, charges and expenses of the
Trustee, any amount required to be deposited to the Rebate Fund, and all other amounts required
to be paid hereunder, any amounts remaining in the Base Rentals Fund, Reserve Fund to the extent
it is cash funded), the Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund, or otherwise held by the Trustee
pursuant hereto (but excluding the Rebate Fund and any defeasance escrow accounts) shall be paid
to the Town upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term as a return of an
overpayment of Base Rentals. After payment of all amounts due and owing the federal government
held in the Rebate Fund, if any, any excess amounts in the Rebate Fund shall be paid to the Town.

Optional Redemption. The Certificates maturing on or prior to
December 1, 20[__], shall not be subject to optional redemption prior to their respective maturity
dates. The Certificates maturing on and after December 1, 20[__], shall be subject to redemption

In the case of a Prepayment in part of Base Rentals under the Lease, the Trustee shall
confirm that the revised Base Rentals Schedule to be provided by the Town Representative
pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of the Lease sets forth Principal Portions and Interest Portions of Base
Rentals that are equal to the principal and interest due on the Certificates that remain Outstanding

On or before the 30th day prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall
proceed to call the Term Certificates indicated above (or any Term Certificate or Certificates issued
to replace such Term Certificates) for redemption from the sinking fund on the next December 1,
and give notice of such call without other instruction or notice from the Town. The amount of
each sinking fund installment may be reduced by the principal amount of any Term Certificates of
the maturity and interest rate which are subject to sinking fund redemption on such date and which
prior to such date have been redeemed (otherwise than through the operation of the sinking fund)
or otherwise canceled and not theretofore applied as a credit against a sinking fund installment.
Such reductions, if any, shall be applied in such year or years as may be determined by the Town.
Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption. If the Lease is terminated by
reason of the occurrence of:
(a) An Event of Nonappropriation, or
(b) An Event of Lease Default, or
(c) In the event that (1) the Leased Property is damaged or destroyed in whole
or in part by fire or other casualty, or (2) title to, or the temporary or permanent use of, the
Leased Property has been taken by eminent domain by any governmental body or
(3) breach of warranty or any material defect with respect to the Leased Property becomes
apparent or (4) title to or the use of all or any part of the Leased Property is lost by reason
24
of a defect in title thereto or any other reason and the Net Proceeds of any insurance,
performance bond or condemnation award, or Net Proceeds received as a consequence of
defaults under contracts relating to the Leased Property, made available by reason of such
occurrences, shall be insufficient to pay in full, the cost of repairing or replacing the Leased
Property, and the Town does not appropriate sufficient funds for such purpose or cause the
Lease to be amended in order that Additional Certificates may be executed and delivered
pursuant to this Indenture for such purpose, then all Outstanding Certificates shall be
required to be called for redemption. If called for redemption, as described herein, the
Certificates are to be redeemed in whole on such date or dates as the Trustee may
determine, for a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest to the redemption date (subject to the availability of funds described below).
If the Net Proceeds, including the Net Proceeds from the exercise of any Lease Remedy
under the Lease, otherwise received and other moneys then available under this Indenture are
insufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on all Outstanding Certificates, the
Trustee may, or at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates Outstanding, and upon indemnification as provided in Section 8.01(d) of this
Indenture, without any further demand or notice, shall, exercise all or any combination of Lease
Remedies as provided in the Lease and the Certificates shall be redeemed by the Trustee from the
Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and all other moneys, if any,
then on hand and being held by the Trustee for the Owners of the Certificates.
If the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys
are insufficient to redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest
accrued to the redemption date, then such Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease
Remedies and other moneys shall be allocated proportionately among the Certificates, according
to the principal amount thereof Outstanding. In the event that such Net Proceeds resulting from
the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys are in excess of the amount required to
redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the
redemption date, then such excess moneys shall be paid to the Town as an overpayment of the
Purchase Option Price. Prior to any distribution of the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise
of any of such remedies, the Trustee shall be entitled to payment of its reasonable and customary
fees for all services rendered in connection with such disposition, as well as reimbursement for all
reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred thereby, from proceeds resulting
from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys.
IF THE CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 4.03 FOR
AN AMOUNT LESS THAN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF PLUS
INTEREST ACCRUED TO THE REDEMPTION DATE, SUCH PARTIAL PAYMENT SHALL
BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A REDEMPTION IN FULL OF THE RELATED
CERTIFICATES, AND UPON SUCH A PARTIAL PAYMENT NO OWNER OF SUCH
CERTIFICATES SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER CLAIM FOR PAYMENT AGAINST THE
TRUSTEE OR THE TOWN.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions to the contrary in the Lease or this
Indenture, if the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies are insufficient
to redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the
25
redemption date, the Trustee may, or at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Certificates Outstanding, and upon indemnification as provided in Section
8.01(d) of this Indenture, shall, determine that the Certificates shall not be subject to extraordinary
mandatory redemption under this Section 4.03, in which event the Trustee will not apply any Net
Proceeds or other available moneys to the redemption of any Certificates prior to their respective
maturity dates. In such event, the Trustee shall (a) allocate such Net Proceeds (together with any
other available moneys held under this Indenture), proportionately among all Outstanding
Certificates, and (b) apply such allocation of Net Proceeds to the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Certificates on the regularly scheduled maturity and Interest Payment Dates of the
Certificates.
Partial Redemption. The Certificates shall be redeemed only in integral
multiples of $5,000. The Trustee shall treat any Certificate of denomination greater than $5,000
as representing that number of separate Certificates each of the denomination of $5,000 as can be
obtained by dividing the actual principal amount of such Certificate by $5,000.
Upon surrender of any Certificate for redemption in part, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Owner thereof, at no expense of the Owner, a new Certificate or Certificates of
Authorized Denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of
the Certificates so surrendered.
Notice of Redemption. Whenever Certificates are to be redeemed under
any provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, not less than thirty (30) and not more than sixty
(60) days prior to the redemption date (except for Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption under
Section 4.03, which notice shall be immediate), give notice of redemption to all Owners of all
Certificates to be redeemed by electronic means or by mail at their registered addresses, by first
class mail, postage prepaid, or in the event that the Certificates to be redeemed are registered in
the name of the Depository or its nominee, such notice may, in the alternative, be given by
electronic means in accordance with the requirements of the Depository. In addition, the Trustee
shall at all reasonable times make available to the Town and any Certificate Owner, including the
Depository, if applicable, information as to Certificates which have been redeemed or called for
redemption. Any notice of redemption shall:
(a) Identify the Certificates to be redeemed;
(b) Specify the redemption date and the redemption price;
(c) In the event the redemption is occurring under Section 4.01 hereof, state
that the Town has given notice of its intent to exercise its option to purchase or prepay Base
Rentals under the Lease;
(d) State that such redemption is subject to the deposit of the funds related to
such option by the Town on or before the stated redemption date; and
(e) State that on the redemption date the Certificates called for redemption will
be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee or pursuant to the
Depository’s procedures as applicable and that from that date interest will cease to accrue.
26
The Trustee may use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Certificate Owners, provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Certificates or as contained in any notice
of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the identification numbers containing the
prefix established pursuant to this Indenture.
Any notice of redemption may contain a statement that the redemption is conditioned upon
the receipt by the Trustee of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the
redemption price of the Certificates so called for redemption, and that if such funds are not
available, such redemption shall be canceled by written notice to the owners of the Certificates
called for redemption in the same manner as the original redemption notice was given.
Redemption Payments. On or prior to the Business Day preceding the
date fixed for redemption, funds shall be deposited with the Trustee to pay the Certificates called
for redemption, together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, and any required
premium. Upon the giving of notice and the deposit of such funds as may be available for
redemption pursuant to this Indenture (which, in certain cases as set forth above may be less than
the full principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates and accrued interest thereon to the
redemption date), interest on the Certificates or portions thereof thus called shall no longer accrue
after the date fixed for redemption. Payments in full redemption shall be accompanied by a written
designation prepared by the Trustee stating the portions of the payment representing principal,
interest, and premium, if any.
27
INVESTMENTS
Investment of Moneys. The Trustee shall be entitled to assume that any
investment, which at the time of purchase is a Permitted Investment, remains a Permitted
Investment absent a receipt of written notice or information to the contrary. All moneys held as
part of the Base Rentals Fund, Reserve Fund, the Rebate Fund, the Costs of Execution and Delivery
Fund, or any other fund or account created hereunder (other than any defeasance escrow accounts)
shall be deposited or invested and reinvested by the Trustee, at the written direction of the Town
Representative, in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that the Trustee shall make no
deposits or investments of any fund or account created hereunder which shall interfere with or
prevent withdrawals for the purpose for which the moneys so deposited or invested were placed in
trust hereunder or for payment of the Certificates at or before maturity or interest thereon as
required hereunder. The Trustee may make any and all such deposits or investments through its
own investment department or that of its affiliates or subsidiaries and may charge its ordinary and
customary fees for such trades, including cash sweep account fees. Except as otherwise provided
herein and Section 3.05 hereof, deposits or investments shall at all times be a part of the fund or
account from which the moneys used to acquire such deposits or investments shall have come, and
all income and profits on such deposits or investments shall be credited to, and losses thereon shall
be charged against, such fund or account. Any interest or other gain from any fund or account
created hereunder (except defeasance escrows) shall be deposited to the Rebate Fund to the extent
required and permitted pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof. The Trustee shall sell and reduce to cash
a sufficient amount of such deposits or investments whenever the cash balance in the Base Rentals
Fund is insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Certificates when due, or whenever
the cash balance in any fund or account created hereunder is insufficient to satisfy the purposes of
such fund or account.
The Trustee hereby agrees to secure and retain the documentation with respect to
investments of moneys in the funds and accounts created under this Indenture as required by and
as described in the Tax Certificate.
The Trustee may rely upon the Town Representative’s written direction as to both the
suitability and the legality of the directed investments, and shall have no liability or responsibility
for any loss or for failure to maximize earnings resulting from any investment made in accordance
with the provisions of this Article 5.
The Trustee may transfer investments from any Fund or Account to any other Fund or
Account in lieu of cash when a transfer is required or permitted by the provisions of this Indenture.
If the Trustee is not provided written directions concerning investment of moneys held in
the Funds, the Trustee shall invest in a money market fund that qualifies as a Permitted Investment
available to the Trustee, provided such investment matures or are subject to redemption prior to
the date such funds will be needed. Unless otherwise confirmed or directed in writing, an account
statement delivered periodically by the Trustee to the Town shall confirm that the investment
transactions identified therein accurately reflect the investment directions of the Town
Representative, unless the Town Representative notifies the Trustee in writing to the contrary
within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of such statement.
28
The Trustee may purchase or invest in shares of any investment company provided that
such investments are Permitted Investments at the time of such investment and that such
investments: (i) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (including
both corporations and Massachusetts business trusts, and including companies for which the
Trustee may provide advisory, administrative, custodial or other services for compensation);
(ii) invests substantially all of its assets in short term high quality money market instruments,
limited to obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States, or repurchase agreements backed
by such obligations; and (iii) maintains a constant asset value per share.
The Trustee is specifically authorized to implement its automated cash investments system
to assure that cash on hand is invested and to charge reasonable cash management fees, which may
be deducted from income earned on investments.
Method of Valuation and Frequency of Valuation. In computing the
amount in any fund or account (except defeasance escrows), Permitted Investments shall be valued
at the market price, exclusive of accrued interest. With respect to all funds and accounts (except
defeasance escrows, and except as otherwise provided in the Tax Certificate with respect to the
Rebate Fund), valuation shall occur as of December 31 of each year.
The Reserve Fund, to the extent it is cash-funded, shall also be valued as of December 31
of each year, except in the event of a withdrawal from the Reserve Fund, whereupon it shall be
valued immediately after such withdrawal. The Trustee shall calculate the value of investments
on deposit in the Reserve Fund and the Town, at the written request of the Trustee, shall calculate
the value of investments in all other funds and accounts held pursuant to this Indenture.
29
DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE
Defeasance and Discharge.
(a) When the principal or redemption price (as the case may be) of, and interest
on, all the Certificates executed and delivered hereunder have been paid or provision has
been made for payment of the same (or, in the case of redemption of the Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.03 of this Indenture, if full or partial payment of the Certificates and
interest thereon is made as provided in Section 4.03 of this Indenture), together with all
other sums payable hereunder relating to the Certificates (including the fees and expenses
of the Trustee), then the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the Trust Estate and
all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Town to the Trustee and to the
Owners shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied.
In such event, the Town shall prepare and the Trustee shall (1) release the Site Lease and
transfer and convey the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property to the Town as
provided by Article 11 of the Lease, (2) release the Lease and this Indenture, (3) execute
such documents to evidence such releases as may be reasonably required by the Town, and
(4) turn over to the Town all balances then held by the Trustee in the Funds hereunder
except for amounts held in any defeasance escrow accounts. If payment or provision
therefor is made with respect to less than all of the Certificates, the particular Certificates
(or portion thereof) for which provision for payment shall have been considered made shall
be selected by the Town.
(b) Provision for the payment of all or a portion of the Certificates shall be
deemed to have been made when the Trustee holds in the Base Rentals Fund, or there is on
deposit in a separate escrow account or trust account held by a trust bank or escrow agent,
either moneys in an amount which shall be sufficient, and/or Federal Securities, the
principal of and the interest on which when due, and without any reinvestment thereof, will
provide moneys which, together with the moneys, if any, concurrently deposited in trust,
shall be sufficient to pay when due the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due and
to become due on said Certificates on and prior to the redemption date or maturity date
thereof, as the case may be. Prior to any discharge of this Indenture pursuant to this Section
or the defeasance of any Certificates pursuant to this Section becoming effective, there
shall have been addressed and delivered to the Trustee a report of an independent firm of
nationally recognized certified public accountants verifying the sufficiency of the escrow
established to pay the applicable Certificates in full on the maturity or redemption date
thereof unless fully funded with cash.
(c) Neither the Federal Securities nor the moneys deposited in the Base Rentals
Fund or separate escrow account or trust account pursuant to this Section shall be
withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be segregated and held in trust for,
the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates or portions
thereof; provided, however, that other Federal Securities and moneys may be substituted
for the Federal Securities and moneys so deposited prior to their use for such purpose.
30
(d) Whenever moneys or Federal Securities shall be deposited with the Trustee
or a separate escrow agent for the payment or redemption of any Certificates more than
forty-five (45) days prior to the date that such Certificates are to mature or be redeemed,
the Trustee shall provide a notice by electronic or other means stating that such moneys or
Federal Securities have been deposited and identifying the Certificates for the payment of
which such moneys or Federal Securities are being held, to all Owners of Certificates for
the payment of which such moneys or Federal Securities are being held, or if such
Certificates are registered in the name of the Depository, such notice may be sent, in the
alternative, by electronic means in accordance with the regulations of the Depository.
(e) At such time as any Certificate shall be deemed paid as provided in (b)
above, such Certificate shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture, the Lease or the Site Lease, except for the purpose of exchange and transfer and
any payment from such cash or Federal Securities deposited with the Trustee.
31
EVENTS OF INDENTURE DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Events of Indenture Default Defined. Each of the following shall be an
Event of Indenture Default:
(a) Failure to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on any Certificate when
the same shall become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity thereof or upon
proceedings for redemption;
(b) Failure to pay any installment of interest on any Certificate when the same
shall become due and payable;
(c) The occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation; or
(d) The occurrence of an Event of Lease Default.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Indenture Default of which the Trustee is required to
take notice or receive notice pursuant to Section 8.05, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the
Owners of the Certificates, unless such Event of Indenture Default has been cured or waived. The
Trustee shall waive any Event of Nonappropriation which is cured by the Town within thirty (30)
days of the receipt of notice by the Trustee as provided by Section 6.4(b) of the Lease, by a duly
effected Appropriation to pay all Base Rentals and sufficient amounts to pay reasonably estimated
Additional Rentals coming due for such Renewal Term. The Trustee may waive any Event of
Nonappropriation which is cured by the Town within a reasonable time with the procedure
described in the preceding sentence.
Remedies. If any Event of Indenture Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may, or shall at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Certificates then Outstanding and upon indemnification as provided in Section 8.01(d) hereof,
without any further demand or notice, enforce for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates
each and every right of the Trustee as the lessee under the Site Lease and the lessor under the
Lease. In exercising such rights of the Trustee and the rights given the Trustee under this Article
7 and Article 8, the Trustee may, or shall at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Certificates then Outstanding and upon indemnification as provided in
Section 8.01(d) hereof, take such action as, in the judgment of the Trustee, upon advice of its
counsel, would best serve the interests of the Owners of the Certificates, including calling the
Certificates for redemption prior to their maturity in the manner and subject to the provisions of
Article 4 hereof and exercising the Lease Remedies provided in the Lease, provided however that
such action shall not include consequential or punitive damages against the Town.
Legal Proceedings by Trustee. If any Event of Indenture Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee in its discretion may, and upon the written request of the
Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Certificates and receipt of
indemnity to its satisfaction, shall, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder:
(a) By mandamus, or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity,
enforce all rights of the Owners of the Certificates, including enforcing any rights of the
32
Trustee in respect of the Trustee’s leasehold interests in the Leased Property including its
rights as lessor under the Lease and as lessee under the Site Lease and its rights under this
Indenture and to enforce the provisions of this Indenture and any collateral rights hereunder
for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates; or
(b) By action or suit in equity enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful
or in violation of the rights of the Owners of the Certificates; or
(c) Take any other action at law or in equity that may appear necessary or
desirable to enforce the rights of the Owners of the Certificates.
Discontinuance of Proceedings by Trustee. If any proceeding
commenced by the Trustee on account of any Event of Indenture Default is discontinued or is
determined adversely to the Trustee, then the Owners of the Certificates shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder as though no such proceeding had been commenced.
Owners of Certificates May Direct Proceedings. The Owners of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates shall have the right, after
furnishing indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, to direct the method and place of conducting all
remedial proceedings by the Trustee hereunder, provided that such direction shall not be in conflict
with any rule of law or with this Indenture or unduly prejudice the rights of minority Owners of
the Certificates.
Limitations on Actions by Owners of Certificates. No Owner of the
Certificates shall have any right to pursue any remedy hereunder unless:
(a) The Trustee shall have been given written notice of a default pursuant to
Section 8.05, and such default becomes an Event of Indenture Default;
(b) The Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all
Outstanding Certificates shall have requested the Trustee, in writing, to exercise the powers
hereinabove granted to or pursue such remedy in its or their name or names;
(c) The Trustee shall have been offered indemnity satisfactory to it as provided
in Section 8.01(d) hereof; and

Representations and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee represents,
warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) So long as no Event of Indenture Default has occurred and is then
continuing or existing, except as specifically provided in the Site Lease or the Lease or as
necessary to transfer the Trust Estate to a successor Trustee, the Trustee shall not pledge
or assign the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to (i) the Lease or the Site Lease,
(ii) the Base Rentals, other Revenues and collateral, security interests and attendant rights
and obligations which may be derived under the Lease or the Site Lease and/or (iii) the
Leased Property and any reversion therein or any of the Trustee’s other rights under the
Lease or the Site Lease or assign, pledge, mortgage, encumber or grant a security interest
in the Trustee’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Lease or the Site Lease or the
Leased Property except for Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) To the Trustee’s knowledge, neither the execution and delivery of the Lease
and the Site Lease or this Indenture by the Trustee, nor the fulfillment of or compliance
with the terms and conditions thereof and hereof, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby or hereby conflicts with or results in a breach of the terms, conditions
and provisions of any restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Trustee is
now a party or by which the Trustee is bound, or constitutes a default under any of the
foregoing.
38
(c) To the Trustee’s knowledge, there is no litigation or proceeding pending
against the Trustee affecting the right of the Trustee to execute the Lease and the Site Lease
or to execute this Indenture, and perform its obligations thereunder or hereunder, except
such litigation or proceeding as has been disclosed in writing to the Town on or prior to
the date this Indenture is executed and delivered.
(d) The Trustee covenants and agrees to comply with any applicable
requirements for the Trustee set forth in the Tax Certificate as directed in writing by the
Town.
Compensation. During the Lease Term, the Trustee shall be entitled to
payment and reimbursement for its reasonable fees and expenses for its ordinary services rendered
hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and all advances, agent and counsel fees and other
ordinary expenses for its services rendered hereunder as and when the same become due and all
expenses reasonably and necessarily made or incurred by the Trustee in connection with such
ordinary services as and when the same become due, as provided in Section 6.2 of the Lease.
Should it become necessary that the Trustee perform extraordinary services, it shall be entitled to
reasonable extra compensation therefor and to reimbursement for reasonable extraordinary
expenses in connection therewith; provided that if such extraordinary services or extraordinary
costs and expenses are occasioned by negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, it shall not
be entitled to compensation or reimbursement therefor. The rights of the Trustee to payments
pursuant to this Section shall be superior to the rights of the Owners with respect to the Trust
Estate.
Notice of Default; Right to Investigate. If an Event of Indenture Default
occurs of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall,
within thirty (30) days after it receives notice thereof, give written notice by electronic means or
first class mail to the Owners of the Certificates of all Events of Indenture Default known to the
Trustee and send a copy of such notice to the Town, unless such defaults have been remedied. The
Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default unless it has
actual knowledge thereof or has been notified in writing of such default by the Town or the Owners
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates. The Trustee may,
however, at any time request the Town to provide full information as to the performance of any
covenant under the Lease; and, if information satisfactory to it is not forthcoming, the Trustee may
make or cause to be made an investigation into any matter related to the Site Lease, the Lease and
the Leased Property.
Obligation to Act on Defaults. If any Event of Indenture Default shall
have occurred and be continuing of which the Trustee has actual knowledge or notice pursuant to
Section 8.05, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and remedies vested in it by this
Indenture and shall use the same degree of care in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise
or use in the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; provided, that if in the opinion
of the Trustee such action may tend to involve expense or liability, it shall not be obligated to take
such action unless it is furnished with indemnity satisfactory to it for the reimbursement of all fees,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses) to which it may
be put and to protect it against all liability which may incur in or by reason of such action, except
39
liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from its negligence or willful misconduct by reason
of any action so taken.
Reliance on Requisition, etc. The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall
be fully protected from acting or refraining from acting on any written requisition, resolution,
notice, request, consent, waiver, certificate, statement, affidavit, voucher, bond, or other paper or
electronic document which it in good faith believes to be genuine and to have been passed or
signed by the proper persons or to have been prepared and furnished pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Indenture; and the Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation as
to any statement contained in any such instrument, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence
of the accuracy of such statement. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture upon
the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving
such authority or consent is the Owner of any Certificate shall be conclusive and binding upon all
future Owners of the same Certificate and upon any Certificates delivered in place thereof.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon opinions of Counsel and shall not be responsible
for any loss or damage resulting from reliance in good faith thereon, except for its own negligence
or willful misconduct.
Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee may in good faith buy, sell,
own and hold any of the Certificates and may join in any action which any Owner may be entitled
to take with like effect as if the Trustee were not the party to this Indenture. The Trustee may also
engage in or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Town provided that if the
Trustee determines that any such relation is in conflict with its duties under this Indenture, it shall
eliminate the conflict or resign as Trustee.
Construction of Ambiguous Provisions. The Trustee may construe any
ambiguous or inconsistent provisions of this Indenture, and any such construction by the Trustee
shall be binding upon the Owners. In construing any such provision, the Trustee will be entitled
to rely upon opinions of Counsel and will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from
reliance in good faith thereon, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct.
Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee may resign and be discharged of the
trusts created by this Indenture by written resignation filed with the Town not less than sixty (60)
days before the date when it is to take effect; provided notice of such resignation is sent by
electronic means or mailed by registered or certified mail to the Owner of each Outstanding
Certificate at the address shown on the registration books. Such resignation shall take effect only
upon the appointment of a successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee is appointed within sixty (60)
days following the date designated for the resignation of the Trustee, the resigning Trustee may
apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. The rights of the Trustee
to be held harmless, to insurance proceeds, or to other amounts due arising prior to the date of such
resignation shall survive resignation.
Removal of Trustee. Any Trustee hereunder may be removed at any time,
after payment of all outstanding fees and expenses of the Trustee being so removed, by the Town
or by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates then Outstanding,
upon written notice being filed with the Trustee, the Town and the Owner of each Outstanding
40
Certificate at the address shown on the registration books. Such removal shall take effect only
upon the appointment of a successor Trustee. The rights of the Trustee to be held harmless, to
insurance proceeds or to other amounts due arising prior to the date of such removal shall survive
removal.
Appointment of Successor Trustee. If the Trustee or any successor trustee
resigns or is removed or dissolved, or if its property or business is taken under the control of any
state or federal court or administrative body, a vacancy shall forthwith exist in the office of the
Trustee, and the Town shall appoint a successor, and shall cause a notice of such appointment to
be sent by Electronic Means or mailed by registered or certified mail to the Owners of all
Outstanding Certificates at the address shown on the registration books. If the Town fails to make
such appointment within thirty (30) days after the date notice of resignation is filed, the Owners
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates then Outstanding may do so. If the
Owners have failed to make such appointment within thirty (30) days after the date notice of
resignation is filed, the Trustee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to make such
appointment.
Qualification of Successor. Any successor trustee shall be a national or
state bank with trust powers or a bank and trust company or a trust company, in each case having
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, if there be one able and willing to accept the trust on
reasonable and customary terms.
Instruments of Succession. Any successor trustee shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Town an instrument accepting such appointment under this
Indenture; and thereupon such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations
of its predecessor in the trust under this Indenture, with like effect as if originally named Trustee
herein and thereupon the duties and obligations of the predecessor shall cease and terminate. The
Trustee ceasing to act under this Indenture shall, upon the payment of the fees and expenses owed
to the predecessor Trustee, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys held by it under this
Indenture; and, upon request of the successor trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to the successor trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers
and trusts under this Indenture of the Trustee ceasing to act.
Merger of Trustee. Any corporation into which any Trustee hereunder
may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any sale,
merger or consolidation of its corporate trust business to which any Trustee hereunder shall be a
party, shall be the successor trustee under this Indenture, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to which the Trustee
or the Town is not a party and which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its Counsel, has a substantial
bearing on the interests of Owners of the Certificates, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of the
Owners and shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Outstanding Certificates and upon being furnished satisfactory indemnity.
41
The rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Section are subject to the approval of a court
of competent jurisdiction.
Books and Records of the Trustee; Trustee Record Keeping. The
Trustee shall keep such books and records relating to the Site Lease and the Lease and Funds and
Accounts created under this Indenture as shall be consistent with industry practice and make such
books and records available for inspection by the Town, at all reasonable times and for six years
following the discharge of this Indenture according to Article 6 hereof.
Environmental Matters. Any real property or interest in real property
constituting any portion of the Trust Estate shall be subject to the following provisions:
(a) The Trustee’s responsibilities for any interest in real property constituting
any portion of the Trust Estate, prior to an Event of Indenture Default, shall be performed
as Trustee on behalf of the Owners of the Certificates without any duty to monitor or
investigate whether the real property constituting any portion of the Trust Estate complies
with environmental laws or is subject to any Hazardous Substance.
(b) Following an Event of Indenture Default, if the Trustee determines that the
release, threatened release, use, generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any Hazardous
Substance on, under or about real property constituting any portion of the Trust Estate gives
rise to any liability or potential liability under any federal, State of Colorado, local or
common law, or devalues or threatens to devalue such real property, the Trustee may, after
being adequately indemnified pursuant to Section 8.01(d), take whatever action is deemed
necessary by the Trustee to address the threatened or actual releases of Hazardous
Substances, or to bring about or maintain such real property’s compliance with federal,
State of Colorado, or local environmental laws and regulations. The Trustee has the right
to take no action and, in such event no fiduciary duty exists which imposes any obligation
for action with respect to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof if the Trustee determines
to take no action for, including that any such action could adversely subject the Trustee to
environmental or other liability for which the Trustee has not been adequately indemnified.

MISCELLANEOUS
Evidence of Signature of Owners and Ownership of Certificates. Any
request, consent or other instrument which this Indenture may require or permit to be signed and
executed by the Owners may be in one or more instruments of similar tenor, and shall be signed
or executed by such Owners in person or by their attorneys appointed in writing. Proof of the
execution of any such instrument or of an instrument appointing any such attorney, or the
ownership of Certificates shall be sufficient (except as otherwise herein expressly provided) if
made in the following manner, but the Trustee may, nevertheless, in its discretion require further
or other proof in cases where it deems the same desirable:
(a) The fact and date of the execution by any Owner or his attorney of such
instrument may be proved by the certificate of any officer authorized to take
acknowledgments in the jurisdiction in which he purports to act that the person signing
such request or other instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an
affidavit of a witness of such execution, duly sworn to before a notary public.
(b) The fact of the owning by any person of Certificates and the amounts and
numbers of such Certificates, and the date of the owning of the same, may be proved by a
certificate executed by any trust company, bank or bankers, wherever situated, stating that
at the date thereof the party named therein did exhibit to an officer of such trust company
or bank or to such bankers, as the property of such party, the Certificates therein mentioned,
if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee may, in
its discretion, require evidence that such Certificates have been deposited with a bank,
bankers or trust company before taking any action based on such ownership. In lieu of the
foregoing the Trustee may accept other proofs of the foregoing as it shall deem appropriate.
Any request or consent of the Owner of any Certificate shall be conclusive upon and shall
bind all future owners of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer or
exchange of such Certificate in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Town, the
Trustee in accordance therewith, whether or not notation of such consent or request is made upon
any such Certificate.
Inspection of the Leased Property. Under the Lease, the Trustee and its

To the extent and in the manner permitted by the terms of the Indenture, the provisions of
the Indenture may be amended by the Trustee with the written consent of the Owners of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates outstanding, and may be amended without such
consent under certain circumstances described in the Indenture but in no event such that the
interests of the Owners of the Certificates are materially adversely affected, provided that no such
amendment is to impair the right of any Owner to receive in any case such Owner’s proportionate
share of any payment of Revenues in accordance with the terms of such Owner’s Certificate.

denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount, will be executed and
delivered to the transferee in exchange for this Certificate, all upon payment of the charges and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. The Trustee may deem and treat the

*Final Maturity
Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption. If the Lease is terminated by reason of the
occurrence of (a) an Event of Nonappropriation, or (b) an Event of Lease Default, or (c) the
Trustee, at the direction of the Town, fails to repair or replace the Leased Property if: (1) the Leased
Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty; (2) title to, or the
temporary or permanent use of, the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, has been taken by
eminent domain by any governmental body; (3) breach of warranty or any material defect with
respect to the Leased Property becomes apparent; or (4) title to or the use of all or any portion of
the Leased Property is lost by reason of a defect in title thereto, and the Net Proceeds (as defined
in the Lease) of any insurance, performance bond or condemnation award, or Net Proceeds
received as a consequence of defaults under contracts relating to the Leased Property, made
available by reason of such occurrences, are insufficient to pay in full, the cost of repairing or
replacing the Leased Property and the Town does not appropriate sufficient funds for such purpose
or cause the Lease to be amended in order that Additional Certificates may be executed and
delivered pursuant to the Indenture for such purpose, the Certificates are required to be called for
redemption. If called for redemption, as described herein, the Certificates are to be redeemed in
whole on such date or dates as the Trustee may determine, for a redemption price equal to the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the availability
of funds as described below).
If the Net Proceeds, including the Net Proceeds from the exercise of any Lease Remedy
under the Lease, otherwise received and other moneys then available under the Indenture are
insufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on all Outstanding Certificates, the
Trustee may, or at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates Outstanding, and upon indemnification as to costs and expenses as provided in the
Indenture, without any further demand or notice, is to exercise all or any combination of Lease
Remedies as provided in the Lease and the Certificates are to be redeemed by the Trustee from the
Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and all other moneys, if any,
then on hand and being held by the Trustee for the Owners of the Certificates.
If the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys
are insufficient to redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest
accrued to the redemption date, then such Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease
Remedies and other moneys are to be allocated proportionately among the Certificates, according
to the principal amount thereof Outstanding. In the event that such Net Proceeds resulting from
the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys are in excess of the amount required to
redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the
redemption date, then such excess moneys are to be paid to the Town as an overpayment of the
A-5
Purchase Option Price in respect of the Leased Property. Prior to any distribution of the Net
Proceeds resulting from the exercise of any of such remedies, the Trustee is entitled to payment of
its reasonable and customary fees for all services rendered in connection with such disposition, as
well as reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred
thereby, from proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys.
IF THE CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED FOR AN AMOUNT LESS THAN THE
AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF PLUS INTEREST ACCRUED TO THE
REDEMPTION DATE, SUCH PARTIAL PAYMENT IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A
REDEMPTION IN FULL OF THE CERTIFICATES, AND UPON SUCH A PARTIAL
PAYMENT NO OWNER OF SUCH CERTIFICATES, SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER CLAIM
FOR PAYMENT AGAINST THE TRUSTEE OR THE TOWN.
Partial Redemption. If less than all of the Certificates are to be redeemed, the Certificates
are to be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000. The Trustee is to treat any Certificates of
denomination greater than $5,000 as representing that number of separate Certificates each of the
denomination of $5,000 as can be obtained by dividing the actual principal amount of such
Certificates by $5,000. Upon surrender of any Certificate for redemption in part, the Trustee is to
execute and deliver to the Owner thereof, at no expense of the Owner, a new Certificate or
Certificates of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Certificates so surrendered.
Notice of Redemption. Whenever Certificates are to be redeemed, the Trustee is required
to, after receiving instruction from the Town pursuant to the Indenture, not less than thirty (30)
and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date (except for Extraordinary Mandatory
Redemption notice which is required to be immediate), give notice of redemption to all Owners of
all Certificates to be redeemed at their registered addresses, by electronic means or by first class
mail, postage prepaid, or in the event that the Certificates to be redeemed are registered in the
name of the Depository, such notice may, in the alternative, be given by electronic means in
accordance with the requirements of the Depository. Any notice of redemption is to (1) be given
in the name of the Trustee, (2) identify the Certificates to be redeemed, (3) specify the redemption
date and the redemption price, (4) in the event of Optional Redemption, state that the Town has
given notice of its intent to exercise its option to purchase or prepay Base Rentals under the Lease,
(5) state that such redemption is subject to the deposit of the funds related to such option by the
Town on or before the stated redemption date and (6) state that on the redemption date the
Certificates called for redemption will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee and
that from that date interest will cease to accrue. The Trustee may use “CUSIP” numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Certificates Owners, provided that any such notice is required
to state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on
the Certificates or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only
on the identification numbers containing the prefix established under the Indenture.
This Certificate is executed and delivered under the authority of Part 2 of Article 57,
Title 11, C.R.S. (the “Supplemental Act”). Pursuant to C.R.S. § 11-57-210, such recital shall be

delivery for value.

agreement or instrument to which the Town is now a party or by which the Town or its
property is bound, or violates any statute, regulation, rule, order of any court having

default under any of the foregoing, or results in the creation or imposition of any lien or
encumbrance whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of the Town, except for
Permitted Encumbrances.
(e) The Town agrees that, except for non-renewal and nonappropriation as set

Not later than December 15 of the then current Initial Term or any Renewal Term the Town
Representative shall give written notice (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D attached
hereto) to the Trustee that either:
(a) The Town has effected or intends to effect on a timely basis an
Appropriation for the ensuing Fiscal Year which includes (i) sufficient amounts authorized
and directed to be used to pay all of the Base Rentals; and (ii) sufficient amounts to pay
such Additional Rentals as are estimated to become due; all as further provided in Sections
6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 hereof, whereupon, this Lease shall be renewed for the ensuing Fiscal Year;
or
(b) The Town has determined, for any reason, not to renew this Lease for the
ensuing Fiscal Year.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(a) hereof, the failure to give such notice shall not constitute
an Event of Lease Default, nor prevent the Town from electing not to renew this Lease, nor result
in any liability on the part of the Town. The Town’s option to renew or not to renew this Lease
shall be conclusively determined by whether or not the applicable Appropriation has been made
on or before December 31 of each Fiscal Year, all as further provided in Article 6 hereof.
15
The terms and conditions hereof during any Renewal Term shall be the same as the terms
and conditions hereof during the Initial Term, except that the Purchase Option Price and the Base
Rentals shall be as provided in Article 12 and Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) hereof.
Section 4.2 Termination of Lease Term. The Lease Term shall terminate upon the
earliest of any of the following events:
(a) The expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term during which there
occurs an Event of Nonappropriation pursuant to Section 4.1 and Article 6 hereof (provided
that the Lease Term will not be deemed to have been terminated if the Event of
Nonappropriation is cured as provided in Section 6.4 hereof);
(b) The occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation under this Lease (provided
that the Lease Term will not be deemed to have been terminated if the Event of
Nonappropriation is cured as provided in Section 6.4 hereof);
(c) The conveyance of the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property
under this Lease to the Town upon payment of the Purchase Option Price or all Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which an Appropriation has been effected by the Town
for such purpose, as provided in Section 12.2(a) or (b) hereof; or
(d) An uncured Event of Lease Default and termination of this Lease under
Article 14 hereof by the Trustee.
Except for an event described in subparagraph (c) above, upon termination of this Lease, the Town
agrees to peacefully deliver possession of the Leased Property to the Trustee.
Termination of the Lease Term shall terminate all unaccrued obligations of the Town under
this Lease, and shall terminate the Town’s rights of possession under this Lease (except to the
extent of the holdover provisions of Sections 6.5 and 14.2(c)(i) hereof, and except for any
conveyance pursuant to Article 12 hereof). All obligations of the Town accrued prior to such
termination shall be continuing until the Trustee gives written notice to the Town that such accrued
obligations have been satisfied.
Upon termination of the Lease Term any moneys received by the Trustee in excess of the
amounts necessary to terminate and discharge the Indenture and this Lease, shall be paid to the
Town.
The Town shall not have the right to terminate this Lease due to a default by the Trustee
under this Lease.

ARTICLE 5
ENJOYMENT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
Section 5.1 Trustee’s Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. The Trustee hereby covenants
that the Town shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased
Property without suit, trouble or hindrance from the Trustee, except as expressly required or
permitted by this Lease. The Trustee shall not interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of the
Leased Property by the Town during the Lease Term so long as no Event of Lease Default shall
have occurred. The Trustee shall, at the request of the Town and at the cost of the Town, cooperate
fully in any legal action in which the Town asserts against third parties its right to such possession
and enjoyment, or which involves the imposition of any taxes or other governmental charges on
or in connection with the Leased Property. In addition, the Town may at its own expense join in
any legal action affecting its possession and enjoyment of the Leased Property and shall be joined
in any action affecting its liabilities hereunder.
The provisions of this Article 5 shall be subject to the Trustee’s right to inspect the Leased
Property and the Town’s books and records with respect thereto as provided in Section 11.8 hereof.
Section 5.2 Town’s Need for the Leased Property; Determinations as to Fair Value
and Fair Purchase Price. The Council has determined and hereby determines that the Town has
a current need for the Leased Property. It is the present intention and expectation of the Town that
this Lease will be renewed annually until the Trustee’s interests in the Site Lease are released and
unencumbered title to the Leased Property is acquired by the Town pursuant to this Lease; but this
declaration shall not be construed as contractually obligating or otherwise binding the Town. The
Council has determined that the Base Rentals under this Lease during the Lease Term for the
Leased Property represent the fair value of the use of the Leased Property and that the Purchase
Option Price for the Leased Property will represent the fair purchase price of the Trustee’s
leasehold interest in the Leased Property at the time of the exercise of the option. The Council has
determined that the Base Rentals do not exceed a reasonable amount so as to place the Town under
an economic compulsion to renew this Lease or to exercise its option to purchase the Trustee’s
leasehold interest in the Leased Property hereunder. In making such determinations, the Council
has given consideration to the estimated current value of the Leased Property, the uses and
purposes for which the Leased Property will be employed by the Town, the benefit to the citizens
and inhabitants of the Town by reason of the use and occupancy of the Leased Property pursuant
to the terms and provisions of this Lease, the Town’s option to purchase the Trustee’s leasehold
interest in the Leased Property and the expected eventual vesting of unencumbered title to the
Leased Property in the Town. The Council has determined that the period during which the Town
has an option to purchase the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property (i.e., the entire
maximum Lease Term for the Leased Property) does not exceed the weighted average useful life
of the Leased Property.

ARTICLE 6
PAYMENTS BY THE TOWN
Section 6.1 Payments to Constitute Currently Budgeted Expenditures of the Town.
The Town and the Trustee acknowledge and agree that the Base Rentals, Additional Rentals and
any other obligations hereunder shall constitute currently budgeted expenditures of the Town, if
an Appropriation has been effected for such purpose. The Town’s obligations to pay Base Rentals,
Additional Rentals and any other obligations under this Lease shall be from year to year only (as
further provided in Article 4 and Sections 6.2 and 6.4 hereof), shall extend only to moneys for
which an Appropriation has been effected by the Town, and shall not constitute a mandatory
charge, requirement or liability in any ensuing Fiscal Year beyond the then current Fiscal Year.
No provision of this Lease shall be construed or interpreted as a delegation of governmental powers
or as creating a multiple fiscal year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation whatsoever
of the Town or a general obligation or other indebtedness of the Town within the meaning of any
constitutional, Charter provision or statutory debt limitation, including without limitation Article
X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution. No provision of this Lease shall be construed or
interpreted as creating an unlawful delegation of governmental powers nor as a donation by or a
lending of the credit of the Town within the meaning of Sections 1 or 2 of Article XI of the
Colorado Constitution. Neither this Lease nor the Certificates shall directly or indirectly obligate
the Town to make any payments beyond those for which an Appropriation has been effected by
the Town for the Town’s then current Fiscal Year. The Town shall be under no obligation
whatsoever to exercise its option to purchase the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased
Property. No provision of this Lease shall be construed to pledge or to create a lien on any class
or source of Town moneys, nor shall any provision of this Lease restrict the future issuance of any
Town bonds or obligations payable from any class or source of Town moneys (provided, however,
that certain restrictions in the Indenture shall apply to the issuance of Additional Certificates).
Section 6.2 Base Rentals, Purchase Option Price and Additional Rentals.
(a) The Town shall pay Base Rentals for which an Appropriation has been
effected by the Town, directly to the Trustee during the Initial Term and any Renewal
Term, on the Base Rentals Payment Dates and in the “Total Base Rentals” amounts set
forth in Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) attached hereto and made a part hereof. For
federal and State income tax purposes, a portion of each payment of Base Rentals for the
Certificates is designated and will be paid as interest, and Exhibit C (Base Rentals
Schedule) hereto sets forth the Interest Portion of each payment of Base Rentals for the
Certificates. The Town shall receive credit against its obligation to pay Base Rentals to
the extent moneys are held by the Trustee on deposit in the Base Rentals Fund created
under the Indenture and are available to pay Base Rentals. The Town acknowledges that
upon receipt by the Trustee of each payment of Base Rentals, the Trustee, pursuant to the
terms of the Indenture, is to deposit the amount of such Base Rentals in the Base Rentals
Fund.
The Base Rentals set forth in Exhibit C shall be recalculated in the event of the
execution and delivery of Additional Certificates as provided in the Indenture and shall
also be recalculated in the event of a partial redemption of the Certificates. The Trustee
18
may conclusively rely upon such revised Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) and has no
duty to make an independent investigation in connection therewith.
(b) The Town may, on any date, pay the then applicable Purchase Option Price
for the purpose of terminating this Lease and the Site Lease in whole and purchasing the
Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property as further provided in Article 12 hereof.
Subject to the Approval of Special Counsel, the Town may also, at any time during the
Lease Term, (1) prepay any portion of the Base Rentals due under this Lease and (2) in
connection with such prepayment, recalculate the Base Rentals set forth in Exhibit C (Base
Rentals Schedule). Any such revised Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) shall be prepared
by the Town Representative and delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee may conclusively
rely upon such revised Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) and has no duty to make an
independent investigation in connection therewith. The Town shall give the Trustee notice
of its intention to exercise either of such options not less than 45 days in advance of the
date of exercise and shall deposit with the Trustee by not later than the Business Day
preceding the date of exercise an amount equal to the Purchase Option Price due on the
date of exercise or the applicable amount of Base Rentals to be prepaid. If the Town shall
have given notice to the Trustee of its intention to prepay Base Rentals but shall not have
deposited the amounts with the Trustee on the date specified in such notice, the Town shall
continue to pay Base Rentals which have been specifically appropriated by the Council for
such purpose as if no such notice had been given. The Trustee may waive the right to
receive 45 days advance notice and may agree to a shorter notice period in the sole
determination of the Trustee.
(c) All Additional Rentals shall be paid by the Town on a timely basis directly
to the person or entity to which such Additional Rentals are owed. Additional Rentals shall
include, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee, reasonable
expenses of the Trustee in connection with the Leased Property and for the cost of taxes,
insurance premiums, utility charges, maintenance and repair costs and all other expenses
expressly required to be paid hereunder, and any other amounts due to the insurer of any
of the Certificates, and any Rebate Fund payments required pursuant to this Lease and the
Indenture. All of the payments required by this paragraph are subject to Appropriation by
the Town; provided, however, a failure by the Town to budget and appropriate moneys for
any of the payments required by this paragraph shall constitute an Event of
Nonappropriation.
If the Town’s estimates of Additional Rentals for any Fiscal Year are not itemized in the
budget required to be furnished to the Trustee under Section 4.1 hereof, the Town shall furnish an
itemization of such estimated Additional Rentals to the Trustee on or before the 15th day of the
month immediately preceding such Fiscal Year.
Section 6.3 Manner of Payment. The Base Rentals, for which an Appropriation has
been effected by the Town, and, if paid, the Purchase Option Price, shall be paid or prepaid by the
Town to the Trustee at its corporate trust office by wire transfer of federal funds, certified funds
or other method of payment acceptable to the Trustee in lawful money of the United States of
America.
19
An installment of Base Rentals or, if payable to the Trustee and due to Owner, Additional
Rentals shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee holds on the preceding Business
Day, by 10:00am Denver time, U.S. legal tender designated for and sufficient to pay the amount
due to Owners.
The obligation of the Town to pay the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals as required
under this Article 6 and other sections hereof in any Fiscal Year for which an Appropriation has
been effected by the Town for the payment thereof shall be absolute and unconditional and
payment of the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals in such Fiscal Years shall not be abated
through accident or unforeseen circumstances, or any default by the Trustee under this Lease, or
under any other agreement between the Town and the Trustee, or for any other reason including
without limitation, any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration,
destruction of or damage to the Leased Property, commercial frustration of purpose, or failure of
the Trustee, to perform and observe any agreement, whether expressed or implied, or any duty,
liability or obligation arising out of or connected with this Lease, it being the intention of the
parties that the payments required by this Lease will be paid in full when due without any delay or
diminution whatsoever, subject only to the annually renewable nature of the Town’s obligation
hereunder as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, and further subject to the Town’s rights under Section
9.3 hereof. Notwithstanding any dispute between the Town and the Trustee, the Town shall, during
the Lease Term, make all payments of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals in such Fiscal Years
and shall not withhold any Base Rentals or Additional Rentals, for which an Appropriation has
been effected by the Town, pending final resolution of such dispute (except to the extent permitted
by Sections 8.2 and 9.3 hereof with respect to certain Additional Rentals), nor shall the Town
assert any right of set-off or counterclaim against its obligation to make such payments required
hereunder. No action or inaction on the part of the Trustee shall affect the Town’s obligation to
pay all Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a specific Appropriation has been effected
by the Town for such purpose, in such Fiscal Years subject to this Article (except to the extent
provided by Sections 8.2 and 9.3 hereof with respect to certain Additional Rentals).
Section 6.4 Nonappropriation. In the event that the Town gives notice that it intends
to not renew this Lease as provided by Section 4.1 hereof or the Town shall not effect an
Appropriation, on or before December 31 of each Fiscal Year, of moneys to pay all Base Rentals
and reasonably estimated Additional Rentals coming due for the next ensuing Renewal Term as
provided in Section 4.1 hereof and this Article, or in the event that the Town is proceeding under
the provisions of Section 10.3(c) hereof (when applicable), an Event of Nonappropriation shall be
deemed to have occurred; subject, however, to each of the following provisions:
(a) In the event the Trustee does not receive the written notice provided for by
Section 4.1 hereof or evidence that an Appropriation has been effected by the Town on or
before December 31 of a Fiscal Year, then the Trustee shall declare an Event of
Nonappropriation on the first Business Day of the February following such Fiscal Year or
such declaration shall be made on any earlier date on which the Trustee receives official,
specific written notice from the Town that this Lease will not be renewed; provided that
the Trustee’s failure to declare an Event of Nonappropriation on such date shall not be
construed as a waiver of the Event of Nonappropriation or the consequences of an Event
of Nonappropriation under this Lease. In order to declare an Event of Nonappropriation,
the Trustee shall send written notice thereof to the Town.
20
(b) The Trustee shall waive any Event of Nonappropriation which is cured by
the Town, within 30 days of the receipt by the Town of notice from the Trustee as provided
in (a) above, by a duly effected Appropriation to pay all Base Rentals and sufficient
amounts to pay reasonably estimated Additional Rentals coming due for such Renewal
Term.
(c) Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee may waive any Event of
Nonappropriation which is cured by the Town within a reasonable time with the procedure
described in (b) above.
In the event that during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, any Additional Rentals shall
become due which were not included in a duly effected Appropriation and moneys are not
specifically budgeted and appropriated or otherwise made available to pay such Additional Rentals
within 60 days subsequent to the date upon which such Additional Rentals are due, an Event of
Nonappropriation shall be deemed to have occurred, upon notice by the Trustee to the Town to
such effect (subject to waiver by the Trustee as hereinbefore provided).
If an Event of Nonappropriation occurs, the Town shall not be obligated to make payment
of the Base Rentals or Additional Rentals or any other payments provided for herein which accrue
after the last day of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term during which such Event of
Nonappropriation occurs; provided, however, that, subject to the limitations of Sections 6.1 and
14.3 hereof, the Town shall continue to be liable for Base Rentals and Additional Rentals allocable
to any period during which the Town shall continue to occupy, use or retain possession of the
Leased Property.
Subject to Section 6.5 hereof, the Town shall in all events vacate or surrender possession
of the Leased Property by March 1 of the Renewal Term in respect of which an Event of
Nonappropriation has occurred.
After March 1 of the Renewal Term in respect of which an Event of Nonappropriation has
occurred, the Trustee may proceed to exercise all or any Lease Remedies.
The Town acknowledges that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation (a) the
Trustee shall be entitled to all moneys then being held in all funds created under the Indenture
(except the Rebate Fund, and any defeasance escrow accounts which are established with the
written consent of the Trustee) to be used as described therein and (b) all property, funds and rights
then held or acquired by the Trustee upon the termination hereof by reason of an Event of
Nonappropriation are to be held by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Section 6.5 Holdover Tenant. If the Town fails to vacate the Leased Property after
termination of this Lease, whether as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation
or an Event of Lease Default as provided in Section 14.2(a) hereof, with the written permission of
the Trustee it will be deemed to be a holdover tenant on a month-to-month basis, and will be bound
by all of the other terms, covenants and agreements of this Lease. Any holding over by the Town
without the written permission of the Trustee shall be at sufferance. The amount of rent to be paid
monthly during any period when the Town is deemed to be a holdover tenant will be equal to
(a) one-sixth of the Interest Portion of the Base Rentals coming due on the next succeeding Base
Rentals Payment Date plus one-twelfth of the Principal Portion of the Base Rentals coming due
21
on the next succeeding Base Rentals Payment Date on which a Principal Portion of the Base
Rentals would have been payable with appropriate adjustments to ensure the full payment of such
amounts on the due dates thereof in the event termination occurs during a Renewal Term plus
(b) Additional Rentals as the same shall become due.
Section 6.6 Prohibition of Adverse Budget or Appropriation Modifications. To the
extent permitted by law, the Town shall not, during any Fiscal Year of the Lease Term, make any
budgetary transfers or other modifications to its then existing budget and appropriation measures
relating to the Leased Property or this Lease which would adversely affect the Town’s ability to
meet its obligation to pay Base Rentals and duly budgeted and appropriated Additional Rentals
hereunder.
22
ARTICLE 7
SITE LEASE; TITLE INSURANCE
Section 7.1 Site Lease. At the time of the execution and delivery of this Lease, the
Town shall have leased to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall have leased from the Town, the Leased
Property pursuant to the Site Lease. As further provided in Section 8.1 hereof, a leasehold interest
in the Leased Property shall be held by the Trustee, subject to this Lease.
Section 7.2 Title Insurance. The Trustee shall be provided with a Leasehold Owner’s
title insurance policy insuring the Trustee’s leasehold estate in the Leased Property under the Site
Lease, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, with such policy to be in an amount not less than
the original aggregate principal amount of the Certificates or such lesser amount as shall be the
maximum insurable value of the Leased Property. Such policy, or a binding commitment therefor,
shall be provided to the Trustee concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Certificates.
23
ARTICLE 8
TITLE TO LEASED PROPERTY;
LIMITATIONS ON ENCUMBRANCES
Section 8.1 Title to the Leased Property. At all times during the Lease Term, title to
the Leased Property shall remain in the Town, subject to the Site Lease, this Lease, the Indenture
and any other Permitted Encumbrances. Except for personal property purchased by the Town at
its own expense pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, a leasehold estate in the Leased Property and any
and all additions and modifications thereto and replacements thereof shall be held in the name of
the Trustee until the Trustee has exercised Lease Remedies or until the Trustee’s leasehold interest
in the Leased Property is conveyed to the Town as provided in Article 12 hereof, or until
termination of the Site Lease, notwithstanding (a) the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation;
(b) the occurrence of one or more Events of Lease Default; (c) the occurrence of any event of
damage, destruction, condemnation, or construction, manufacturing or design defect or title defect,
as provided in Article 10 hereof; or (d) the violation by the Trustee of any provision of the Site
Lease or this Lease. The Trustee shall not, in any way, be construed as the owner of the Leased
Property.
Section 8.2 No Encumbrance, Mortgage or Pledge of the Leased Property. Except
as may be permitted by this Lease, the Town shall not permit any mechanic’s or other lien to be
established or remain against the Leased Property; provided that, if the Town shall first notify the
Trustee of the intention of the Town to do so, the Town may in good faith contest any mechanic’s
or other lien filed or established against the Leased Property, and in such event may permit the
items so contested to remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the period of such contest and
any appeal therefrom unless the Trustee shall notify the Town that, in the opinion of Counsel, by
nonpayment of any such items the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property will be
materially endangered, or the Leased Property or any part thereof will be subject to loss or
forfeiture, in which event the Town shall promptly pay and cause to be satisfied and discharged
all such unpaid items (provided, however, that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the
right to continue to contest such items). The Trustee will cooperate in any such contest. Except
as may be permitted by this Lease, the Town shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume
or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or claim on or with respect to
the Leased Property, except Permitted Encumbrances. The Town shall promptly, at its expense,
take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge any such mortgage, pledge, lien, charge,
encumbrance or claim not excepted above.
24
ARTICLE 9
MAINTENANCE; TAXES; INSURANCE
AND OTHER CHARGES
Section 9.1 Maintenance of the Leased Property by the Town. Subject to its right to
not appropriate and as otherwise provided in Section 10.3 hereof, the Town agrees that at all times
during the Lease Term, the Town will maintain, preserve and keep the Leased Property or cause
the Leased Property to be maintained, preserved and kept, in good repair, working order and
condition, and from time to time make or cause to be made all necessary and proper repairs,
including replacements, if necessary. The Trustee shall have no responsibility in any of these
matters or for the making of any additions, modifications or replacements to the Leased Property.
Section 9.2 Modification of the Leased Property; Installation of Furnishings and
Machinery of the Town. The Town shall have the privilege of making substitutions, additions,
modifications and improvements to the Leased Property, at its own cost and expense, as
appropriate and any such substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements to the Leased
Property shall be the property of the Town, subject to the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture
and shall be included under the terms of the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture; provided,
however, that such substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements shall not in any way
damage the Leased Property or cause the Leased Property to be used for purposes other than lawful
governmental functions of the Town (except to the extent of subleasing permitted under Section
13.2 hereof) or cause the Town to violate its tax covenant in Section 11.5 hereof; and provided
that the Leased Property, as improved or altered, upon completion of such substitutions, additions,
modifications and improvements, shall be of a value not less than the value of the Leased Property
immediately prior to such making of substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements.
The Town may also, from time to time in its sole discretion and at its own expense, install
machinery, equipment and other tangible property in or on the Leased Property. All such
machinery, equipment and other tangible property shall remain the sole property of the Town in
which the Trustee shall have no interests; provided, however, that title to any such machinery,
equipment and other tangible property which becomes permanently affixed to the Leased Property
shall be included under the terms of the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture, in the event that
such Leased Property would be damaged or impaired by the removal of such machinery,
equipment or other tangible property.
The Town shall have the right to make substitutions to the Leased Property upon
compliance with the provisions set forth in Section 11.4 hereof.
Section 9.3 Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. In the event
that the Leased Property shall, for any reason, be deemed subject to taxation, assessments or
charges lawfully made by any governmental body, the Town shall pay the amount of all such taxes,
assessments and governmental charges then due, as Additional Rentals. With respect to special
assessments or other governmental charges which may be lawfully paid in installments over a
period of years, the Town shall be obligated to provide for Additional Rentals only for such
installments as are required to be paid during the upcoming Fiscal Year. Except for Permitted
Encumbrances, the Town shall not allow any liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges
to exist with respect to the Leased Property (including, without limitation, any taxes levied upon
25
the Leased Property which, if not paid, will become a charge on the rentals and receipts from the
Leased Property, or any interest therein, including the leasehold interests of the Trustee), or the
rentals and revenues derived therefrom or hereunder. The Town shall also pay as Additional
Rentals, as the same respectively become due, all utility and other charges and fees and other
expenses incurred in the operation, maintenance and upkeep of the Leased Property.
The Town may, at its expense, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments, utility
and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments, utility
or other charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal
therefrom unless the Trustee shall notify the Town that, in the opinion of Counsel, by nonpayment
of any such items the value of the Leased Property will be materially endangered or the Leased
Property will be subject to loss or forfeiture, or the Trustee will be subject to liability, in which
event such taxes, assessments, utility or other charges shall be paid forthwith (provided, however,
that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to continue to contest such taxes,
assessments, utility or other charges).
Section 9.4 Provisions for Liability and Property Insurance. During the Initial Term
and each Renewal Term until termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the Town
shall, at its own expense, cause casualty and property damage insurance to be carried and
maintained with respect to the Leased Property in an amount at least equal to the estimated
replacement cost of the Leased Property. Such insurance policy or policies may have a deductible
clause in an amount deemed reasonable by the Council. The Town may, in its discretion, insure
the Leased Property under blanket insurance policies which insure not only the Leased Property,
but other buildings as well, as long as such blanket insurance policies comply with the
requirements hereof. If the Town shall insure against similar risks by self-insurance, the Town
may, at its election provide for casualty and property damage insurance with respect to the Leased
Property, partially or wholly by means of a self-insurance fund. If the Town shall elect to self-
insure, the Town Representative shall annually furnish to the Trustee a certification of the
adequacy of the Town’s reserves. The Trustee shall be named additional insured and loss payee
on any casualty and property insurance.
Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease and until termination of the Lease Term
pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the Town shall, at its own expense, cause public liability insurance
to be carried and maintained with respect to the activities to be undertaken by and on behalf of the
Town in connection with the use of the Leased Property, in an amount not less than the limitations
provided in the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (C.R.S. § 24-10-101, et seq., as amended).
Such insurance may contain deductibles and exclusions deemed reasonable by the Council. The
public liability insurance required by this Section may be by blanket insurance policy or policies.
If the Town shall insure against similar risks by self-insurance, the Town, at its election may
provide for public liability insurance with respect to the Leased Property, partially or wholly by
means of a self-insurance fund. If the Town elects to self-insure, the Town Representative shall
annually furnish to the Trustee a certification of the adequacy of the Town’s reserves. The Trustee
shall be named as additional insured and loss payee on any public liability insurance.
Any casualty and property damage insurance policy required by this Section shall be so
written or endorsed as to make payments under such insurance policy payable to the Town and the
Trustee. Each insurance policy provided for in this Section shall contain a provision to the effect
26
that the insurance company shall not cancel the policy without first giving written notice thereof
to the Town at least 30 days in advance of such cancellation. A certificate of insurance from the
Town or the Town’s insurance agent will be acceptable evidence of insurance. All insurance
policies issued pursuant to this Section, or certificates evidencing such policies, shall be deposited
with the Trustee. No agent or employee of the Town shall have the power to adjust or settle any
loss with respect to the Leased Property in excess of $25,000, whether or not covered by insurance,
without the prior written consent of the Trustee; except that losses not exceeding $100,000 may
be adjusted or settled by the Town without the Trustee’s consent. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for monitoring, renewing, or receiving of the insurance policies, or the certificates
evidencing such policies, or the documents pertaining thereto, except as provided herein or in the
Site Lease.
Section 9.5 Advances. If the Town fails to pay any Additional Rentals during the Lease
Term as such Additional Rentals become due, the Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) pay
such Additional Rentals and the Town agrees to reimburse the Trustee to the extent permitted by
law and subject to Appropriation as provided under Article 6 hereof.
Section 9.6 Granting of Easements. As long as no Event of Nonappropriation or Event
of Lease Default shall have happened and be continuing, the Trustee, shall upon the request of the
Town: (a) grant or enter into easements, permits, licenses, party wall and other agreements, rights-
of-way (including the dedication of public roads) and other rights or privileges in the nature of
easements, permits, licenses, party wall and other agreements and rights of way with respect to
any property or rights included in this Lease (whether such rights are in the nature of surface rights,
sub-surface rights or air space rights), free from this Lease and any security interest or other
encumbrance created hereunder or thereunder; (b) release existing easements, permits, licenses,
party wall and other agreements, rights-of-way, and other rights and privileges with respect to such
property or rights, with or without consideration; and (c) execute and deliver any instrument
necessary or appropriate to grant, enter into or release any such easement, permit, license, party
wall or other agreement, right-of-way or other grant or privilege upon receipt of: (i) a copy of the
instrument of grant, agreement or release and (ii) a written application signed by the Town
Representative requesting such grant, agreement or release and stating that such grant, agreement
or release will not materially impair the effective use or materially interfere with the operation of
the Leased Property, and will not materially adversely affect the security intended to be given by
or under the Indenture, the Site Lease or this Lease.

ARTICLE 10
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION;
USE OF NET PROCEEDS
Section 10.1 Damage, Destruction and Condemnation. If, during the Lease Term, and
of the following occur, then, the Town shall be obligated to continue to pay Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals (subject to Article 6 hereof):
(a) The Leased Property shall be destroyed (in whole or in part), or damaged
by fire, contamination, or other casualty; or
(b) Title to, or the temporary or permanent use of, the Leased Property or the
estate of the Town or the Trustee in the Leased Property is taken under the exercise of the
power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person, firm or entity acting
under governmental authority; or
(c) A breach of warranty or a material defect in the construction, manufacture
or design of the Leased Property becomes apparent; or
(d) Title to or the use of all or a portion of the Leased Property is lost by reason
of a defect in title thereto,
Section 10.2 Obligation to Repair and Replace the Leased Property. The Town and
the Trustee, to the extent Net Proceeds are within their respective control, shall cause such Net
Proceeds of any insurance policies, performance bonds or condemnation awards to be deposited
in a separate trust fund held by the Trustee. All Net Proceeds so deposited shall be applied to the
prompt repair, restoration, modification, improvement or replacement of the Leased Property by
the Town, upon receipt by the Trustee of requisitions signed by the Town Representative stating
with respect to each payment to be made:
(a) The requisition number;
(b) The name and address of the person, firm or entity to whom payment is due;
(c) The amount to be paid; and
(d) That each obligation mentioned therein has been properly incurred, is a
proper charge against the separate trust fund and has not been the basis of any previous
withdrawal and specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the obligation, accompanied
by a bill or a statement of account for such obligation.
The Trustee shall have no duty to review or examine the accompanying bill, invoice or
statement of account, but may conclusively rely on the properly executed disbursement request.
The Town and the Trustee shall agree to cooperate and use their best reasonable efforts subject to
the terms of the Indenture to enforce claims which may arise in connection with material defects
in the construction, manufacture or design of the Leased Property or otherwise. If there is a balance
of any Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property remaining after such repair, restoration,
28
modification, improvement or replacement has been completed, this balance shall be used by the
Town, to:
(a) Add to, modify or alter the Leased Property or add new components thereto,
or
(b) Prepay the Base Rentals with a corresponding adjustment in the amount of
Base Rentals payable under Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) to this Lease, or
(c) Accomplish a combination of (a) and (b).
Any repair, restoration, remediation, modification, improvement or replacement of the
Leased Property paid for in whole or in part out of Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property
shall be the property of the Town, subject to the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture and shall
be included as part of the Leased Property under this Lease.
Section 10.4 Insufficiency of Net Proceeds. If the Net Proceeds (plus any amounts
withheld from such Net Proceeds by reason of any deductible clause) are insufficient to pay in full
the cost of any repair, restoration, remediation, modification, improvement or replacement of the
Leased Property required under Section 10.2 hereof, the Town may elect to:
(a) Complete the work or replace such Leased Property (or portion thereof)
with similar property of a value equal to or in excess of such portion of the Leased Property
and pay as Additional Rentals, to the extent amounts for Additional Rentals which have
been specifically appropriated by the Town are available for payment of such cost, any cost
in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property, and the Town
agrees that, if by reason of any such insufficiency of the Net Proceeds allocable to the
Leased Property, the Town shall make any payments pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph, the Town shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Trustee,
nor shall the Town be entitled to any diminution of the Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals, for which a specific Appropriation has been effected by the Town for such
purpose, payable under Article 6 hereof; or
(b) Apply the Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property to the payment of
the Purchase Option Price in accordance with Article 12 hereof, or an appropriate portion
thereof. In the event of an insufficiency of the Net Proceeds for such purpose, the Town
shall, subject to the limitations of Section 6.1 hereof, pay such amounts as may be necessary
to equal that portion of the Purchase Option Price which is attributable to the Leased
Property for which Net Proceeds have been received (as certified to the Trustee by the
Town); and in the event the Net Proceeds shall exceed such portion of the Purchase Option
Price, such excess shall be used as directed by the Town in the same manner as set forth in
Section 10.2 hereof; or
(c) If the Town does not timely budget and appropriate sufficient funds to
proceed under either (a) or (b) above, an Event of Nonappropriation will be deemed to have
occurred and, subject to the Town’s right to cure, the Trustee may pursue remedies
available to it following an Event of Nonappropriation.
29
The above referenced election shall be made by the Town within 90 days of the occurrence
of an event specified in Section 10.1 hereof. It is hereby declared to be the Town’s present
intention that, if an event described in Section 10.1 hereof should occur and if the Net Proceeds
shall be insufficient to pay in full the cost of repair, restoration, modification, improvement or
replacement of the Leased Property, the Town would use its best efforts to proceed under either
paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above; but it is also acknowledged that the Town must operate
within budgetary and other economic constraints applicable to it at the time, which cannot be
predicted with certainty; and accordingly the foregoing declaration shall not be construed to
contractually obligate or otherwise bind the Town.
Section 10.5 Cooperation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the
Town in filing any proof of loss with respect to any insurance policy or performance bond covering
the events described in Section 10.1 hereof and in the prosecution or defense of any prospective
or pending condemnation proceeding with respect to the Leased Property and the enforcement of
all warranties relating to the Leased Property. So long as no Event of Lease Default or Event of
Nonappropriation has occurred and is then existing, the Trustee shall not voluntarily settle, or
consent to the settlement of, any proceeding arising out of any insurance claim performance or
payment bond claim, prospective or pending condemnation proceeding with respect to the Leased
Property without the written consent of the Town.

ARTICLE 11
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; OTHER COVENANTS
Section 11.1 Disclaimer of Warranties. THE TRUSTEE HAS NOT MADE AND
WILL NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, AS TO THE VALUE, DESIGN, CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR
ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASED
PROPERTY. THE TOWN HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND DECLARES THAT THE
TOWN IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR
AND OPERATION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY, AND THAT THE TRUSTEE HAS NO
RESPONSIBILITY THEREFOR. For the purpose of enabling the Town to discharge such
responsibility, the Trustee constitutes and appoints the Town as its attorney in fact for the purpose
of asserting and enforcing, at the sole cost and expense of the Town, all manufacturer’s and
contractor’s warranties and guaranties, express or implied, with respect to the Leased Property, as
well as any claims or rights the Trustee may have in respect of the Leased Property against any
manufacturer, supplier, contractor or other person. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the
Trustee shall not be liable for any direct or indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential
damage in connection with or arising out of this Lease, the Leased Property, or the existence,
furnishing, functioning or use by the Town of any item, product or service provided for herein
except that nothing shall relieve the Trustee’s liability for any claims, damages, liability or court
awards, including costs, expenses and attorney fees, relating to or arising from the Trustee’s
actions or omissions that result from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Trustee
or its employees.
Section 11.2 Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments. The Trustee and the
Town agree that they will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered, such amendments hereof or supplements hereto and such
further instruments as may reasonably be required for correcting any inadequate or incorrect
description of the Leased Property.
Section 11.3 Compliance with Requirements. During the Lease Term, the Town and
the Trustee shall observe and comply promptly to the extent possible with all current and future
orders of all courts having jurisdiction over the Leased Property and/or all administrative orders
issued by a governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Leased Property, provided that the
Town and the Trustee may contest or appeal such orders so long as they are in compliance with
such orders during the contest or appeal period, and all current and future requirements of all
insurance companies writing policies covering the Leased Property.
Section 11.4 Release and Substitution of Leased Property. So long as no Event of
Lease Default or Event of Nonappropriation shall have occurred and be continuing, the Town shall
be entitled to substitute any improved or unimproved real estate (collectively, the “Replacement
Property”), for any Leased Property then subject to the Site Lease, this Lease, and the Indenture,
upon receipt by the Trustee of a written request of the Town Representative requesting such release
and substitution, provided that:
31
a. Such Replacement Property shall have an equal or greater value and utility
(but not necessarily the same function) to the Town as the Leased Property proposed to be
released, as determined by a certificate from the Town to that effect;
b. The insured replacement value of Replacement Property, together with the
insured replacement value of any portion of the Leased Property that remains after such
substitution, shall be not less than the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Certificates, as certified in writing by the Town Representative; and
c. The execution and delivery of such supplements and amendments to the Site
Lease, this Lease and the Indenture, as applicable, and any other documents necessary to
subject the Replacement Property to the encumbrance of the Site Lease, this Lease and the
Indenture, and to release the portion of the Leased Property to be released from the
encumbrance Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture.
The Trustee shall cooperate with the Town in implementing the Town’s rights to release
and substitute property pursuant to this Section 11.4 and shall execute any and all conveyances,
releases, or other documents necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.
Section 11.5 Tax Covenants. The Town acknowledges that the moneys in all funds and
accounts expected to be created under the Indenture are to be invested or deposited by the Trustee,
at the written direction of the Town.
The Town covenants for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates that it will not take
any action or omit to take any action with respect to the Certificates, the proceeds thereof, any
other funds of the Town, or any facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the
Certificates (except for the possible exercise of the Town’s right to terminate this Lease as
provided herein) if such action or omission: (a) would cause the interest on the Certificates to lose
its exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Tax
Code; or (b) would cause interest on the Certificates to become a specific preference item for
purposes of federal alternative minimum tax under the Tax Code, except as such interest is taken
into account in determining the annual adjusted financial statement income of applicable
corporations (as defined in Section 59(k) of the Tax Code) for the purpose of computing the
alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations; or (c) would cause interest on the Certificates
to lose its exclusion from Colorado taxable income or to lose its exclusion from Colorado
alternative minimum taxable income under present Colorado law. Subject to the Town’s right to
terminate this Lease as provided herein, the foregoing covenant shall remain in full force and
effect, notwithstanding the payment in full or defeasance of the Certificates, until the date on which
all obligations of the Town in fulfilling the above covenant under the Tax Code and Colorado law
have been met.
In addition, the Town covenants that its direction of investments pursuant to Article 5 of
the Indenture shall be in compliance with the procedures established by the Tax Certificate to the
extent required to comply with its covenants contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section.
The Town hereby agrees that, to the extent necessary, it will, during the Lease Term, pay to the
Trustee such sums as are required for the Trustee to pay the amounts due and owing to the United
States Treasury as rebate payments. Any such payment shall be accompanied by directions to the
32
Trustee to pay such amounts to the United States Treasury. Any payment of Town moneys
pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be Additional Rentals for all purposes of this Lease.
The Town is to execute the Tax Certificate in connection with the execution and delivery
of this Lease, which Tax Certificate shall provide further details in respect of the Town’s tax
covenants herein.
Section 11.6 Undertaking to Provide Ongoing Disclosure. The Town covenants for
the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates to comply with the terms of the Continuing Disclosure
Certificate, provided that a failure of the Town to do so shall not constitute an Event of Lease
Default. The Trustee shall have no power or duty to enforce this Section. Unless otherwise
required by law, no Certificate owner shall be entitled to damages for the Town’s non-compliance
with its obligations under this Section; however, the Certificate Owners may enforce specific
performance of the obligations contained in this Section by any judicial proceedings available.
Section 11.7 Exculpation; Covenant to Reimburse Legal Expenses. To the extent
permitted by law, the Town shall hold harmless the Trustee against claims arising from the alleged
negligent acts or omissions of the Town’s public employees, which occurred or are alleged to have
occurred during the performance of their duties and within the scope of their employment, unless
such acts or omissions are, or are alleged to be, willful and wanton. Such claims shall be subject
to the limitations of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. 24-10-101 et seq. The
Town shall include as Additional Rentals, the reimbursement of reasonable and necessary fees and
expenses incurred by the Trustee to defend the Trustee from and against all claims, by or on behalf
of any person, firm, corporation or other legal entity arising from the conduct or management of
the Leased Property or from any work or thing done on the Leased Property during the Lease Term
requested by the Town, or from any condition of the Leased Property caused by the Town. This
duty to reimburse the Trustee’s legal expenses is not an indemnification and it is expressly
understood that the Town is not indemnifying the Trustee and, as previously stated, is limited to
Net Proceeds and moneys, if any, in excess of such Net Proceeds, for which an Appropriation has
been effected.
Section 11.8 Access to the Leased Property; Rights to Inspect Books. The Town
agrees that the Trustee shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and inspect the
Leased Property (subject to such reasonable regulations as may be imposed by the Town for
security purposes) and all of the Town’s books and records with respect thereto, but the Trustee
has no duty to inspect the Leased Property books or records. The Town further agrees that the
Trustee shall have such rights of access to the Leased Property as may be reasonably necessary to
cause the proper maintenance of the Leased Property in the event of failure by the Town to perform
its obligations under this Lease. The Indenture allows the Town to have the right at all reasonable
times to examine and inspect all of the Trustee’s books and records with respect to the Leased
Property and all funds and accounts held under the Indenture, until six years following the
discharge of the Indenture.
The Town and its representatives shall have the right to examine and inspect the books and
records of the Trustee relating to the Leased Property at all reasonable times from the date of this
Lease and until three years after the termination date of this Lease.
33
Section 11.9 Environmental Matters. If the Trustee has reason to believe of the
existence of contamination on the Leased Property or other environmental hazards on the Leased
Property, the Trustee has the right to take no further action and, in such event no fiduciary duty
exists which imposes any obligation for further action with respect to the Leased Property or any
portion thereof if the Trustee, in its individual capacity, determines that any such action would
materially and adversely subject the Trustee to environmental or other liability for which the
Trustee has not been adequately indemnified.
34
ARTICLE 12
PURCHASE OPTION
Section 12.1 Purchase Option. The Town shall have the option to purchase the
Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property, but only if an Event of Lease Default or an
Event of Nonappropriation has not occurred and is then continuing. The Town may exercise its
option on any date by complying with one of the conditions set forth in Section 12.2.
The Town shall give the Trustee notice of its intention to exercise its option not less than
45 days in advance of the date of exercise and shall deposit the required moneys with the Trustee
on or before the date selected to pay the Purchase Option Price. The Trustee may waive such
notice or may agree to a shorter notice period in the sole determination of the Trustee.
If the Town shall have given notice to the Trustee of its intention to purchase the Trustee’s
leasehold interest in the Leased Property or prepay Base Rentals, but shall not have deposited the
amounts with the Trustee on the date specified in such notice, the Town shall continue to pay Base
Rentals, which have been specifically appropriated by the Town for such purpose, as if no such
notice had been given.
Section 12.2 Conditions for Purchase Option. The Trustee shall transfer and release
the Trustee’s leasehold interests in the Leased Property to the Town in the manner provided for in
Section 12.3 hereof; provided, however, that prior to such transfer and release, either:
(a) The Town shall have paid the then applicable Purchase Option Price which
shall equal the sum of the amount necessary to defease and discharge the Indenture as
provided therein (i.e., provision for payment of all principal and interest portions of any
and all Certificates which may have been executed and delivered pursuant to the Indenture
shall have been made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture) plus any fees and
expenses then owing to the Trustee; or
(b) The Town shall have paid all Base Rentals set forth in Exhibit C (Base
Rentals Schedule) hereto, for the entire maximum Lease Term, and all then current
Additional Rentals required to be paid hereunder.
At the Town’s option, amounts then on deposit in any fund held under the Indenture (except
the Rebate Fund and excluding any defeasance escrow funds which are established with the written
consent of the Trustee) may be credited toward the Purchase Option Price.
Section 12.3 Manner of Conveyance. At the closing of the purchase or other
conveyance of all of the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property pursuant to Section
12.2 hereof, the Trustee shall release and terminate the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture
and execute and deliver to the Town any necessary documents releasing, assigning, transferring
and conveying the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property (in the same manner by
which Trustee took title), as they then exist, subject only to the following:
(a) Permitted Encumbrances, other than the Site Lease, this Lease and the
Indenture;
35
(b) All liens, encumbrances and restrictions created or suffered to exist by the
Trustee as required or permitted by the Site Lease, this Lease or the Indenture or arising as
a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee as required or permitted
by the Site Lease, this Lease or the Indenture;
(c) any lien or encumbrance created or suffered to exist by action of the Town;
and
(d) those liens and encumbrances (if any) to which title to the Leased Property
was subject when leased to the Trustee.
Section 12.4 Release of Portions of the Leased Property. When the principal
component of Base Rentals paid by the Town, plus the principal amount of any Certificates
redeemed through optional redemption, or the total principal amount of Certificates paid or
deemed to be paid pursuant to Article VI of the Indenture, equals the amount set forth in Exhibit E
hereto, the cost of the corresponding portion of the Leased Property set forth in Exhibit E (or of
any property substituted for such portion of the Leased Property pursuant to any provision of this
Lease) shall be deemed to have been fully amortized and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Town all documents necessary to release such portion of the Leased Property from the
provisions of the Site Lease and this Lease (or any property substituted for such portion of the
Leased Property pursuant to any provision of this Lease); provided, however, that the insured
replacement value of the remaining Leased Property shall be at least equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Certificates Outstanding at the time of such release, as certified
in writing by the Town Representative. Upon such release of a portion of the Leased Property, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Town all documents necessary or appropriate to convey
the Trustee’s leasehold interest in such portion of the Leased Property to the Town, free of all
restrictions and encumbrances imposed or created by this Lease, the Site Lease or the Indenture,
in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.3 hereof. After such release and conveyance,
the property so released and conveyed shall no longer be a part of the Leased Property for any
purpose of this Lease, the Site Lease or the Indenture. The Trustee shall fully cooperate with the
Town in executing, delivering and recording, at the Town’s expense, such documents as may be
necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section.
36
ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING
Section 13.1 Assignment by the Trustee; Replacement of the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease and the Indenture, this Lease may not be assigned by the Trustee
for any reason other than to a successor by operation of law or to a successor trustee under the
Indenture or with the prior written consent of the Town which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Trustee will notify the Town of any assignment to a successor by operation of law.
If an Event of Lease Default or Event of Nonappropriation has occurred and is continuing,
the Trustee may act as herein provided, including exercising the remedies set forth in Section 14.2
hereof without the prior written direction of the Town.
Section 13.2 Assignment and Subleasing by the Town. This Lease may not be
assigned by the Town for any reason other than to a successor by operation of law. However, the
Leased Property may be subleased, as a whole or in part, by the Town, without the necessity of
obtaining the consent of the Trustee or any owner of the Certificates subject to each of the
following conditions:
(a) The Leased Property may be subleased, in whole or in part, only to an
agency or department of, or a political subdivision of, the State, or to another entity or
entities with Approval of Special Counsel, or to persons who will occupy a portion of the
Leased Property as their residence;
(b) The Town shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a copy of any
sublease agreement;
(c) Except for subleases to persons who will occupy a portion of the Leased
Property as their residence, any sublease of the Leased Property shall provide that it shall
automatically terminate upon a termination of this Lease;
(d) This Lease, and the obligations of the Town hereunder, shall, at all times
during the Lease Term remain obligations of the Town, and the Town shall maintain its
direct relationships with the Trustee, notwithstanding any sublease; and
(e) No sublease by the Town shall cause the Leased Property to be used for any
purpose which would cause the Town to violate its tax covenant in Section 11.5 hereof.
All subleases shall provide that, upon a termination of the Lease Term by reason of the
occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Lease Default, and upon written notice
by the Trustee to the party or parties to the subleases that any of such events has occurred such
contracts shall be fully and freely assignable to the Trustee, without the consent of any other. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Lease Default, and upon receipt of
a written request from the Trustee, the Town shall cooperate with the Trustee to effectuate the
assignment of all of its right, title and interest in and to all subleases to the Trustee.
37
ARTICLE 14
EVENTS OF LEASE DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 14.1 Events of Lease Default Defined. Any one of the following shall be
Events of Lease Default under this Lease:
(a) Failure by the Town to pay any Base Rentals or Additional Rentals, which
have been specifically appropriated by the Town for such purpose, during the Initial Term
or any Renewal Term, within five (5) Business Days of the date on which they are due; or
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5 hereof, failure by the Town to vacate
or surrender possession of the Leased Property by March 1 of any Renewal Term in respect
of which an Event of Nonappropriation has occurred; or
(c) Failure by the Town to observe and perform any covenant, condition or
agreement on its part to be observed or performed hereunder, other than as referred to in
(a) or (b), (and other than a failure to comply with Section 11.6 hereof) for a period of 30
days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied shall
be received by the Town from the Trustee, unless the Trustee shall agree in writing to an
extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided that if the failure stated in the notice
cannot be corrected within the applicable period, the Trustee shall not withhold its consent
to an extension of such time if corrective action can be instituted by the Town within the
applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected; or
(d) Failure by the Town to comply with the terms of the Site Lease.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1 are subject to the following limitations:
(i) The Town shall be obligated to pay the Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals, which have been specifically appropriated by the Town for such purpose,
only during the then current Lease Term, except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Lease; and
(ii) If, by reason of Force Majeure, the Town or the Trustee shall be
unable in whole or in part to carry out any agreement on their respective parts herein
contained other than the Town’s agreement to pay the Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals due hereunder, the Town or the Trustee shall not be deemed in default
during the continuance of such inability. The Town and the Trustee each agree,
however, to remedy, as promptly as legally and reasonably possible, the cause or
causes preventing the Town or the Trustee from carrying out their respective
agreements; provided that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial
disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Town.
Section 14.2 Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Lease Default shall have
happened and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period, the Trustee may, or shall at the
request of the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates then
Outstanding and upon indemnification as to costs and expenses as provided in the Indenture,
without any further demand or notice, take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
38
(a) Terminate the Lease Term and give notice to the Town to vacate and
surrender possession of the Leased Property, which vacation and surrender the Town
agrees to complete within 60 days from the date of such notice; provided, in the event the
Town does not vacate and surrender possession on the termination date, the provisions of
Section 6.5 hereof shall apply;
(b) Lease or sublease the Leased Property or sell or assign any interest the
Trustee has in the Leased Property, including the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased
Property;
(c) Recover from the Town:
(i) The portion of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a
specific Appropriation has been effected by the Town for such purpose, which
would otherwise have been payable hereunder, during any period in which the
Town continues to occupy, use or possess the Leased Property; and
(ii) Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a specific
Appropriation has been effected by the Town for such purpose, which would
otherwise have been payable by the Town hereunder during the remainder, after the
Town vacates and surrenders possession of the Leased Property, of the Fiscal Year
in which such Event of Lease Default occurs; or
(d) Take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable
to enforce its rights in and to the Leased Property under the Site Lease, this Lease and the
Indenture.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation, the Trustee shall be entitled to
recover from the Town the amounts set forth in Section 14.2(c)(i) hereof if the Town continues to
occupy the Leased Property after December 31 of the Fiscal Year in which such Event of
Nonappropriation occurs.
The Trustee shall also be entitled, upon any Event of Lease Default, to any moneys in any
funds or accounts created under the Indenture (except the Rebate Fund or any defeasance escrow
accounts).
Section 14.3 Limitations on Remedies. The remedies in connection with an Event of
Lease Default shall be limited as set forth in this Section. A judgment requiring a payment of
money may be entered against the Town by reason of an Event of Lease Default only as to the
Town’s liabilities described in paragraph (c) of Section 14.2 hereof. A judgment requiring a
payment of money may be entered against the Town by reason of an Event of Nonappropriation
only to the extent that the Town fails to vacate and surrender possession of the Leased Property as
required by Section 6.4 hereof, and only as to the liabilities described in paragraph (c)(i) of Section
14.2 hereof. The remedy described in paragraph (c)(ii) of Section 14.2 hereof is not available for
an Event of Lease Default consisting of failure by the Town to vacate and surrender possession of
the Leased Property by March 1 following an Event of Nonappropriation.
39
Section 14.4 No Remedy Exclusive. Subject to Section 14.3 hereof, no remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, is intended to be exclusive, and every such remedy shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but
any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. In order to entitle the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved in this Article 14, it shall
not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article 14.
Section 14.5 Waivers. The Trustee may waive any Event of Lease Default under this
Lease and its consequences. In the event that any agreement contained herein should be breached
by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the
particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Payment of Base Rentals or Additional Rentals by the Town shall not constitute a waiver of any
breach or default by the Trustee hereunder.
Section 14.6 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption
Laws. To the extent permitted by law, in the case of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of
Lease Default neither the Town nor any one claiming through or under the Town shall or will set
up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption
laws now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the Indenture; and
the Trustee and the Town, for themselves and all who may at any time claim through or under it,
hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that the Town cannot and does not
hereby waive its right to set up, claim or seek to take advantage of its police powers or its right of
eminent domain.
40
ARTICLE 15
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 15.1 Sovereign Powers of Town. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as
diminishing, delegating, or otherwise restricting any of the sovereign powers or immunities of the
Town. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require the Town to occupy and operate the
Leased Property other than as lessee, or to require the Town to exercise its right to purchase the
Leased Property as provided in Article 12 hereof.

Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings

between the Trustee, and the Town.
RECITALS
1. The Town is a duly organized and existing home rule municipality of the State of Colorado,
created and operating pursuant to Article XX of the Constitution of the State of Colorado and the home rule
charter of the Town (the “Charter”).
2. Pursuant to Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution and Section 13.3 of the
Charter, the Town is authorized to lease, for such term as the Council determines, any real or personal
property to or from any person, firm or corporation, public or private, governmental or otherwise.
3. Because the demand for workforce housing in the Town exceeds the supply, the Council
hereby determines that it is in the public interest and is a public purpose for the Town to assist Vail Home
Partners Corporation (the “Corporation”) to finance the acquisition, construction, installation, equipping of
a portion of the West Middle Creek housing development, a for-rent workforce housing development (the
“Development”), including any legally permitted costs and expenditures in connection therewith, all for
public purposes, and as authorized by law, by advancing a loan to the Corporation (the “Project”).
4. The Town owns, in fee title, various properties and facilities as defined and more
particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and collectively referred to herein as the “Leased
Property”).
5. To accomplish the Project, the Council has determined that it is in the best interests of the
Town and its inhabitants that the Town lease the Leased Property pursuant to this Site Lease to the Trustee
and lease back the Trustee’s interest in the Leased Property pursuant to the terms of a Lease Purchase
Agreement (the “Lease”) between the Trustee, as lessor, and the Town, as lessee.
6. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Site Lease and the Lease, the
Trustee will execute and deliver an Indenture of Trust (the “Indenture”) pursuant to which there will be
executed and delivered certain certificates of participation (the “Certificates”) dated as of their date of
delivery that will evidence proportionate interests in the right to receive certain, will be payable solely from
the sources therein provided, and will not directly or indirectly obligate the Town to make any payments
beyond those appropriated for any fiscal year during which the Lease shall be in effect.
7. The proceeds of the Certificates will be utilized for the Project, as well as for the payment
of the costs of execution and delivery of the Certificates.
2
8. The Trustee and the Town intend that this Site Lease set forth their entire understanding
and agreement regarding the terms and conditions upon which the Trustee is leasing the Leased Property
from the Town.
9. The Town is entering into this Site Lease with the Trustee as material consideration for the
Trustee’s agreement to lease the Leased Property to the Town pursuant to the Lease. The Trustee will
prepay in full its rental payments due under this Site Lease which rental payments shall be used by the
Town to effect the Project, all pursuant to this Site Lease, the Lease and the Indenture.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Site Lease and Terms. The Town hereby demises and leases to the Trustee and
the Trustee hereby leases from the Town, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Leased
Property, subject to Permitted Encumbrances as described in Exhibit B hereto.
The term of this Site Lease shall commence on the date hereof and shall end on
December 31, 20[__] (the “Site Lease Termination Date”), unless sooner terminated as hereinafter
provided. If, prior to the Site Lease Termination Date, the Trustee has transferred and conveyed the
Trustee’s leasehold interest in all of the Leased Property pursuant to Article 12 of the Lease as a result of
the Town’s payment of (a) the applicable Purchase Option Price thereunder; or (b) all Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals, all as further provided in Section 12.2 of the Lease, then the term of this Site Lease
shall end in connection with such transfer and conveyance.
The term of any sublease of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or any assignment of the
Trustee’s interest in this Site Lease, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Lease and the Indenture, shall not
extend beyond December 31, 20[__]. At the end of the term of this Site Lease, all right, title and interest
of the Trustee, or any sublessee or assignee, in and to the Leased Property, shall terminate. Upon such
termination, the Trustee and any sublessee or assignee shall execute and deliver to the Town any necessary
documents releasing, assigning, transferring and conveying the Trustee’s, sublessee’s or assignee’s
respective interests in the Leased Property.
Section 2. Rental. The Trustee has paid to the Town from the proceeds of the sale of the
Certificate, and the Town hereby acknowledges receipt from the Trustee as and for rental hereunder, paid
in advance, the sum of $[_____], as and for all rent due hereunder, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. The Council has
determined that such amount is reasonable consideration for the leasing of the Leased Property to the
Trustee for the term of this Site Lease.
Section 3. Purpose. The Trustee shall use the Leased Property solely for the purpose of
leasing the Leased Property back to the Town pursuant to the Lease and for such purposes as may be
incidental thereto; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Lease
Default and the termination of the Lease, the Town shall vacate the Leased Property, as provided in the
Lease, and the Trustee may exercise the remedies provided in this Site Lease, the Lease and the Indenture.
Section 4. Owner in Fee. The Town represents that (a) it is the owner in fee of the Leased
Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances as described in Exhibit B hereto, and (b) the Permitted
Encumbrances do not and shall not interfere in any material way with the Leased Property. The Trustee
acknowledges that it is only obtaining a leasehold interest in the Leased Property and pursuant to this Site
Lease.
3
Section 5. Sales, Assignments and Subleases. Unless an Event of Nonappropriation or an
Event of Lease Default has occurred and except as may otherwise be provided in the Lease, the Trustee
may not sell or assign its rights and interests under this Site Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Leased
Property, without the written consent of the Town.
In the event that (a) the Lease is terminated for any reason and (b) this Site Lease is not terminated,
the Trustee may sublease the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or sell or assign the Trustee’s leasehold
interests in this Site Lease, pursuant to the terms of the Lease and the Indenture, and any purchasers from
or sublessees or assignees of the Trustee may sell or assign its respective interests in the Leased Property,
subject to the terms of this Site Lease, the Lease and the Indenture. The Town and the Trustee (or any
purchasers from or assignees or sublessees of the Trustee) agree that, except as permitted by this Site Lease,
the Lease and the Indenture and except for Permitted Encumbrances (including purchase options under the
Lease), neither the Town, the Trustee, nor any purchasers from or sublessees or assignees of the Trustee
will sell, mortgage or encumber the Leased Property or any portion thereof during the term of this Site
Lease.
The Trustee and any other person who has the right to use the Leased Property under this Site
Lease, at its own expense, may install equipment and other personal property in or on any portion of the
Leased Property unless it is permanently affixed to the Leased Property or removal of it would materially
damage the Leased Property, in which case it will become part of the Leased Property.
Section 6. Right of Entry. To the extent that the Lease is terminated and this Site Lease is
still in effect, the Town reserves the right for any of its duly authorized representatives to enter upon the
Leased Property at any reasonable time, upon at least one Business Day prior written notice to Trustee, to
inspect the same or to make any repairs, improvements or changes necessary for the preservation thereof.
Section 7. Termination. The Trustee agrees, upon the termination of this Site Lease, to quit
and surrender all of the Leased Property, and agrees that any permanent improvements and structures
existing upon the Leased Property at the time of the termination of this Site Lease shall remain thereon.
Section 8. Default. In the event the Trustee is in default in the performance of any obligation
on its part to be performed under the terms of this Site Lease, which default continues for 30 days following
written notice and demand for correction thereof to the Trustee, the Town may exercise any and all remedies
granted by law, except that no merger of this Site Lease and of the Lease shall be deemed to occur as a
result thereof and that so long as any Certificates are Outstanding and unpaid under the Indenture, the Base
Rentals due under the Lease shall continue to be paid to the Trustee except as otherwise provided in the
Lease. In addition, so long as any of the Certificates are Outstanding, this Site Lease shall not be terminated
except as described in Section 1 hereof.
Section 9. Quiet Enjoyment and Acknowledgment of Ownership. The Trustee at all times
during the term of this Site Lease shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property,
subject to the provisions of the Lease and the Indenture, and the Town hereby acknowledges that the Trustee
will have a leasehold interest in all improvements or additions to be built on the Leased Property subject to
this Site Lease, the Lease and the Indenture.
Section 10. Trustee’s Disclaimer. It is expressly understood and agreed that (a) this Site
Lease is executed by U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, solely in its capacity as Trustee
under the Indenture, and (b) nothing herein shall be construed as creating any liability on U.S. Bank Trust
Company, National Association, other than in its capacity as Trustee under the Indenture. All financial
obligations of the Trustee under this Site Lease, except those resulting from its willful misconduct or
negligence, are limited to the Trust Estate.

Section 11. Taxes; Maintenance; Insurance. During the Lease Term and in accordance with
the provisions of the Lease, including Sections 9.1 and 9.3 thereof, the Town covenants and agrees to pay
any and all taxes, assessments or governmental charges due in respect of the Leased Property and all
maintenance costs and utility charges in connection with the Leased Property. In the event that (a) the
Lease is terminated for any reason, (b) this Site Lease is not terminated, and (c) the Trustee subleases all or
any portion of the Leased Property or sells or assigns its interests in this Site Lease, the Trustee, or any
purchaser, sublessee or assignee of the Leased Property (including the leasehold interests of the Trustee
resulting from this Site Lease) shall pay or cause to be paid when due, all such taxes, assessments or
governmental charges and maintain the Leased Property in good condition and working order. Any such
payments that are to be made by the Trustee shall be made solely from (a) the proceeds of such sale,
subleasing or assignment, (b) from the Trust Estate, or (c) from other moneys furnished to the Trustee under
Section 8.02(m) of the Indenture, and in the absence of available moneys identified in the preceding clauses
(a) through (c), the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pay or cause to be paid when due, all such taxes,
assessments or governmental charges and maintain the Leased Property in good condition and working
order.
The provisions of the Lease shall govern with respect to the maintenance of insurance hereunder
during the Lease Term of the Lease. In the event that (a) the Lease is terminated for any reason, and (b)
this Site Lease is not terminated, the Trustee, or any sublessee, purchaser or assignee of the Leased Property
shall obtain and keep in force, (i) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury,
death or damage to property of others occurring on or in the Leased Property in an amount not less than the
limitations provided in the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act C.R.S. § 24-10-101, et seq., as
amended, and (ii) property insurance in an amount not less than the full replacement value of the Leased
Property. Any such insurance that is to be obtained by the Trustee shall be paid for solely from (a) the

moneys (including any amounts under a Qualified Surety Bond) on deposit in the Reserve Fund, or (c) from
other moneys furnished to the Trustee under Section 8.02(m) of the Indenture, and in the absence of
available moneys identified in the preceding clauses (a) through (c), the Trustee shall be under no obligation
to obtain or keep in force such insurance coverages. All such insurance shall name the Trustee, any
sublessee, purchaser or assignee and the Town as insured. The Trustee shall be named loss payee. The
Town and the Trustee shall waive any rights of subrogation with respect to the Trustee, any sublessee,
purchaser or assignee, and the Town, and their members, directors, officers, agents and employees, while
acting within the scope of their employment and each such insurance policy shall contain such a waiver of
subrogation by the issuer of such policy.
Nothing in this Site Lease shall be interpreted or construed to require the Trustee to sublease all or
any portion of the Leased Property or sell or assign its interests in this Site Lease, in the event that the Lease
is terminated for any reason and this Site Lease is not terminated.
Section 12. Damage, Destruction or Condemnation. The provisions of the Lease shall
govern with respect to any damage, destruction or condemnation of the Leased Property during the Lease
Term. In the event that (a) the Lease is terminated for any reason and (b) this Site Lease is not terminated,
and either (i) the Leased Property or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by
fire or other casualty, or (ii) title to or use of the Leased Property or any part thereof shall be taken under
the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the Town and the Trustee, or any sublessee, purchaser or
assignee of the Leased Property from the Trustee shall cause the Net Proceeds of any insurance claim or
condemnation award to be applied in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of the Lease.
Section 13. Hazardous Substances. Except for customary materials necessary for operation,
cleaning and maintenance of the Leased Property, none of the Town, the Trustee or any sublessee, purchaser
or assignee of the Leased Property from the Trustee shall cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be
5
brought upon, generated at, stored or kept or used in or about the Leased Property without prior written
notice to the Town and the Trustee and all Hazardous Substances, including customary materials necessary
for construction, operation, cleaning and maintenance of the Leased Property, will be used, kept and stored
in a manner that complies with all laws regulating any such Hazardous Substance so brought upon or used
or kept on or about the Leased Property, provided unless the Trustee has exercised its right to take
possession of the Leased Property after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Lease Default, the
Trustee shall have no responsibility under this Section to monitor or investigate whether the Leased
Property complies with environmental laws or is subject to any Hazardous Substance. If the presence of
Hazardous Substance on the Leased Property caused or permitted by the Town, the Trustee or any sublessee,
purchaser or assignee of the Leased Property from the Trustee, as the case may be, results in contamination
of the Leased Property, or if contamination of the Leased Property by Hazardous Substance otherwise
occurs for which the Town, the Trustee or any sublessee or assignee of the Leased Property, as the case
may be, is legally liable for damage resulting therefrom (provided that the Trustee shall have no liability
under this Section unless it is in possession of the Leased Property and unless the presence of such
Hazardous Substances is due to the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), then the Town, the
Trustee or any sublessee, purchaser or assignee of the Leased Property from the Trustee, as the case may
be, shall reimburse the other party for its reasonable and necessary legal expenses to defend the parties
hereto or assignees hereof that have not caused or permitted such contamination and are not so legally liable
with respect to this Site Lease from claims for damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses; provided
that the cost of such defense, (a) in the case of the Trustee, shall be payable solely from the Trust Estate, or
(b) in the case of the Town, shall be payable only if the cost of such defense has been annually appropriated
by the Town. This duty to reimburse legal expenses is not an indemnification. It is expressly understood
that none of the Town, the Trustee or any sublessee, purchaser or assignee is indemnifying any other person
with respect to this Site Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Substance
on the Leased Property caused or permitted by:
(a) The Trustee after the Trustee has exercised its right to take possession of the
Leased Property after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Lease Default, or any
sublessee, purchaser or assignee of the Leased Property from the Trustee, as the case may be, results
in any contamination of the Leased Property, the Trustee or any sublessee, purchaser or assignee
of the Leased Property from the Trustee, as the case may be, shall provide prior written notice to
the Town and the Trustee and promptly take all actions, solely at the expense of the Trust Estate,
and not at the expense of the Trustee, as are necessary to effect remediation of the contamination
in accordance with legal requirements; or
(b) The Town, results in any contamination of the Leased Property, the Town shall
provide prior written notice to the Trustee and promptly take all actions, solely at the expense of
the Town, which expenses shall constitute Additional Rentals, as are necessary to effect
remediation of the contamination in accordance with legal requirements.
Section 14. Third Party Beneficiaries. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Owners
of the outstanding Certificates are third party beneficiaries to this Site Lease and enforcement of the terms
and conditions of this Site Lease, and all rights of action relating to such enforcement, shall be strictly
reserved to the Town and the Trustee, and their respective successors and assigns, and to the Owners of the
Certificates. Except as hereinafter provided, nothing contained in this Site Lease shall give or allow any
such claim or right of action by any other or third person on this Site Lease. It is the express intention of
the Town and the Trustee that any person other than the Town, the Trustee or the Owners of the Certificates
receiving services or benefits under this Site Lease shall be deemed to be an incidental beneficiary only.
Section 15. Partial Invalidity. If any one or more of the terms, provisions, covenants or
conditions of this Site Lease shall to any extent be declared invalid, unenforceable, void or voidable for any

Lease, the Lease, the implementation of the Development, and the execution and delivery

Mayor, Town Manager and Finance Director the authority to acknowledge the Indenture
and any contract for the purchase of the Certificates between the Trustee and the
Purchaser, and to execute any agreement or agreements in connection therewith. In
addition, the Mayor, Town Manager and Finance Director are hereby authorized to
independently determine if obtaining an insurance policy for all or a portion of the
Certificates is in the best interests of the Town, and if so, to select an insurer to issue an
insurance policy, execute a commitment relating to the same and execute any related
documents or agreements required by such commitment. The Mayor, Town Manager
and Finance Director are also hereby authorized to determine if obtaining a reserve fund
insurance policy for the Certificates is in the best interests of the Town, and if so, to select
a surety provider to issue a reserve fund insurance policy and execute any related
documents or agreements required by such commitment.
Additionally the Town hereby approves a loan to the Corporation in an amount of
approximately $10,000,000 as may be adjusted hereafter for construction and acquisition
of the Development pursuant to a Loan Agreement previously approved by Ordinance
No. 1, Series of 2025.
4
Section 4. Approval of Documents. The Town Council hereby approves the Site
Lease, the Lease, and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, and the Mayor is hereby
authorized and directed for and on behalf of the Town to execute and deliver such
documents in substantially the forms and with substantially the same contents as the
proposed forms of such documents on file with the Town Clerk, with such changes as
may hereafter be approved by the Mayor, Town Attorney or Town Manager.
Section 5. Official Statement. The Town Manager or the Finance Director are
each independently authorized to prepare or cause to be prepared, and the Mayor is
authorized and directed to approve and execute a final Official Statement for use in
connection with the offering and sale of the Certificates in substantially the form of the
Preliminary Official Statement, but with such amendments, additions, and deletions as
are in accordance with the facts and not inconsistent herewith. The execution of a final
Official Statement by the Mayor shall be conclusively deemed to evidence the approval
of the form and contents thereof by the Town. The distribution of the Preliminary Official
Statement and the final Official Statement to all interested persons in connection with the
sale of the Certificates is hereby ratified, approved and authorized.
Section 6. Collateral Documents. The Mayor, Town Manager and Finance
Director are hereby authorized to execute and deliver for and on behalf of the Town any
and all certificates, documents, instruments, and other papers and to perform all other
acts that they deem necessary or appropriate, in order to implement and carry out the
transactions and other matters authorized by this ordinance. The Town Clerk is hereby
authorized and directed to attest all signatures and acts of any official of the Town, if so
required. The Mayor, Town Manager and Finance Director are authorized to execute on
behalf of the Town agreements concerning the deposit and investment of funds in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this ordinance.
Section 7. No General Obligation Debt. No provision of this Ordinance, the
Lease, the Indenture, the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, the Certificates or the Official
Statement shall be construed as creating or constituting a general obligation or other
indebtedness or multiple fiscal year financial obligation of the Town within the meaning of
any constitutional, statutory, or Charter provision, nor a mandatory charge or requirement
against the Town in any ensuing fiscal year beyond the then current fiscal year. The
Town shall not have any obligation to make any payment with respect to the Certificates
except in connection with the payment of the Base Rentals and certain other payments
under the Lease, which payments may be terminated by the Town in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease. Neither the Lease nor the Certificates shall constitute a
mandatory charge or requirement of the Town in any ensuing fiscal year beyond the then
current fiscal year or constitute or give rise to a general obligation or other indebtedness
or multiple fiscal year financial obligation of the Town within the meaning of any
constitutional, statutory or Charter debt limitation and shall not constitute a multiple fiscal
year direct or indirect Town debt or other financial obligation whatsoever. No provision
of the Lease or the Certificates shall be construed or interpreted as creating an unlawful
delegation of governmental powers nor as a donation by or a lending of the credit of the
Town within the meaning of Article XI of the Colorado Constitution. Neither the Lease nor
5
the Certificates shall directly or indirectly obligate the Town to make any payments
beyond those budgeted and appropriated for the Town's then current fiscal year.
Section 8. Reasonableness of Rentals. The Town Council hereby determines
and declares that the Base Rentals do not exceed a reasonable amount so as to place
the Town under an economic compulsion to renew the Lease or to exercise its option to
purchase the Leased Property pursuant to the Lease. The Town Council hereby
determines and declares that the period during which the Town has an option to purchase
the Leased Property (i.e., the entire maximum term of the Lease) does not exceed the
remaining useful life of the Leased Property.
Section 9. No Recourse against Officers and Agents. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 11-
57-209, if any Town official or agent acts in good faith, no civil recourse shall be available
against such member, officer, or agent for payment of the principal, interest or prior
redemption premiums on the Certificates. Such recourse shall not be available either
directly or indirectly through the Town Council or the Town, or otherwise, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute, rule of law, enforcement of penalty, or otherwise. By
the acceptance of the Certificates and as a part of the consideration of their sale or
purchase, any person purchasing or selling such certificate specifically waives any such
recourse.
Section 10. Repealer. All bylaws, orders, resolutions and ordinances, or parts
thereof, inconsistent herewith are repealed to the extent only of such inconsistency. This
repealer shall not be construed to revise any bylaw, order, resolution or ordinance, or part
thereof, theretofore repealed.
Section 11. Charter Controls. Pursuant to Article XX of the Colorado Constitution
and the Charter, all State statutes that might otherwise apply in connection with the
provisions of this ordinance are hereby superseded to the extent of any inconsistencies
or conflicts between the provisions of this ordinance and the Sale Certificate authorized
hereby and such statutes. Any such inconsistency or conflict is intended by the Town
Council and shall be deemed made pursuant to the Authority of Article XX of the Colorado
Constitution and the Charter.
Section 12. Severability. If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or
phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not effect
the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town Council hereby
declares it would have passed this Ordinance, and each part, section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more parts,
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.
