occupancy for the residential component of the Crossroads Project, or any portion
thereof. Crossroads shall operate the Movie Theater and Bowling Alley in good
faith for the life of the SDD and in material conformity with standards generally
and ordinarily observed by recognized first -class operators of similar facilities in
the Denver metropolitan area.
A. Change of Use — Crossroads. Crossroads shall provide not less than 90 days'
notice to the Town of its intent to discontinue operating the Bowling Alley or

deliberate discontinuance of Movie Theatre or Bowling Alley operations for
more than 90 consecutive days or for 100 days out of any 180 -day period shall
require Crossroads to obtain a major amendment to the SDD authorizing such
change of use or discontinuance. Any proposed change of use must provide

Agmt -DIA Crossroads (FINAL) 4
14 . 200"
provide public amenities.
B. If Crossroads has not in good faith submitted a request for an amendment to
the SDD, reasonably acceptable to the Town, within 4 months after
Crossroads' deliberate discontinuance of Movie Theatre or Bowling Alley
operations, Crossroads shall pay to the Town: $5,000 per day for each day that
the Bowling Alley, or other Town - approved public amenity, is not operated in
the Bowling -Alley space; and $2,000 per day, per Screen (hereinafter
defined), for each day that the Movie Theater, any Screen contained therein or
other Town - approved public amenity, as applicable, is not operated in the
Movie - Theater space. The Town may adjust the foregoing amounts from time
to time by multiplying each by the cumulative increases in the Consumer
Price Index, taking the year in which the Bowling Alley and Movie Theater
are granted temporary certificates of occupancy as the base year. "Screen"
shall mean any of the three Movie Theater screens depicted on the Final Plans.
C. In addition to the foregoing, Crossroads shall operate the Movie Theater and
Bowling Alley year - round, in good faith, for the life of the SDD and shall not,
in any event, suspend operations solely to avoid the economic consequences
of poor attendance during seasonal lulls in local tourism. If Crossroads
ceases operations in violation of this paragraph for more than 30 consecutive
days or for 40 days out of any 60 -day period, Crossroads shall pay to the
Town the amounts set forth immediately above for each day that the relevant
operation(s) remain closed.
c. Offsite Improvements: The Required Improvements shall be as described in the
Crossroads Approvals and depicted on Final Plans. To the extent Crossroads has
ongoing obligations with respect to the Required Improvements that are to be located
within properties owned by the Town (the " Offsite Improvements "), the Town shall grant
Crossroads a perpetual easement allowing Crossroads to fulfill such obligations, as more
specifically set forth below. All Offsite Improvements shall be constructed using the
same specifications, design and materials utilized by the Town for similar work. The

for the benefit of Crossroads and its designees from time to time, a non - exclusive
easement (the "Construction and Maintenance Easement ") for the construction
and installation (as applicable) of those portions of the Offsite Improvements that
are to be located within properties owned by the Town. Those parties are further
authorized to enter those properties and undertake therein any related construction
warranty work or subsequent repairs or maintenance for which Crossroads may
otherwise be obligated and which pertain to the Offsite Improvements that remain
in place from time to time, with Crossroads' obligations in this regard being
conditioned on the effectiveness of this authorization or other authorization
provided by the Town allowing for timely entry.

least 550 sq. ft. of floor area and accommodate no more than 2 occupants; a two - bedroom
unit shall contain at least 850 sq. ft. of floor area and accommodate no more than 3

certificate of occupancy for the Crossroads Project or any phase thereof. Any deed
restricted employee housing unit shall comply with the standards and procedures
established by the Town Zoning Regulations.
e. Traffic Impact Fees: Crossroads acknowledges and agrees that the Crossroads Project
may generate 68 additional PM peak hour trips and agrees to pay the Town a traffic
impact fee of $6,500 per PM peak hour generated trip, for a total of $442,000 (the
"Traffic Impact Fee "). The parties further acknowledge and agree that the obligation to
pay the Traffic Impact Fee shall be a condition of the issuance of a building permit for
the Crossroads Project; provided, however, that payment of the fee shall not be required
until the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Crossroads Project.
Crossroads agrees that this Traffic Impact Fee has been fairly and properly calculated to
offset the impacts created by the Crossroads Project. The parties further acknowledge
and agree that the Traffic Impact Fee shall be used by the Town working cooperatively
with CDOT for improvement to the South Frontage Road to accommodate a future turn-
around or other warranted improvement.

(the "Parking Management Plan ") which sets forth, in sufficient detail, the proposed use,

Parking Management Plan so long as it is reasonably calculated to (i) maximize the use
and occupancy of the Parking Facility and (ii) ensure that spaces not used by owners of
residential condominium units or by commercial tenants or owners are available to the
general public to the greatest extent possible. Such approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
Improvements to Vail Village Inn Phase 3 Property: Pursuant to the Site Plan,
Crossroads shall provide the following improvements to the Vail Village Inn Phase 3
property, if, and only if, allowed by the Vail Village Inn Phase 3 Condominium
Association (the "Association "). If the Association does not agree to the improvements

improvements. Crossroads proposes to fund, install, and construct (as applicable) the
following improvements:
i. Four (4) large evergreen trees (20' in height) will either be relocated or planted
new in the area indicated on the Final Plans, subject to direction on the exact
location provided by the Association. Continued maintenance of these trees shall

property. The park will contain landscape area, walkways, benches, and plant
materials including trees as proposed by Crossroads. Crossroads will fund the
construction of these improvements. The individual property owners will be
responsible for continued maintenance of the improvements. Each property
owner will maintain the improvements within his/her property; and
iii. The stairs indicated on the site plan will be converted to an ADA accessible ramp
that extends onto the property of the Association. Crossroads will fund the

Agmt -DIA Crossroads (FINAL) 7

Crossroads Project connecting the Vail Village Inn Phase 3 to East Meadow Drive and
the Plaza, as depicted on the Final Plans.
3. Special Taxing Districts and Public Finance The parties intend that the construction, use,
operation and maintenance of the Public Improvements and certain other Required
Improvements will be governed by and financed through the creation of one or more
metropolitan districts, established pursuant to C.R.S. § 32 -1 -101 et seq. (the "Special District
Act"), and a single general - improvement district, established pursuant to C.R.S. § 31 -25 -101
et seq., as more specifically described and defined below (collectively, the "Special Taxing
Districts ") . The parties believe that this structure will: (a) properly allocate the various
rights and responsibilities associated with the construction, use, operation and maintenance
of the Required Improvements; (b) reinforce the public character of the Plaza by placing its
management in the hands of public, quasi - governmental entities; (c) grant the Town authority
to control the use of the Plaza and the operation and maintenance of certain other Required
Improvements; and (d) provide a reliable, enduring financing mechanism to ensure the long-
term vitality of the Required Improvements. For purposes of this Section 3, references to the
"Required Improvements" shall mean only those Required Improvements that qualify for
public financing under Colorado law. In consideration of the foregoing, the parties agree as
follows:
a. The Town will permit and provide requisite approvals for the formation of not more than
two metropolitan districts proposed by Crossroads, whose boundaries will be coextensive
with the Property limits (the "Metropolitan Districts "). The service plan for the
Metropolitan Districts (the "Service Plan ") will authorize the Metropolitan Districts to
undertake the construction, financing, operation and maintenance of the Required
Improvements, or applicable portions thereof. In addition, the Service Plan will limit the
Metropolitan Districts' powers to: (i) constructing the Required Improvements; (ii)
operating and maintaining all Required Improvements not operated and maintained by
the GID (hereinafter defined), as more specifically set forth below; (iii) securing
financing necessary to perform such functions through the imposition of property taxes
and development fees; and (iv) taking such other actions and exercising such other
powers, consistent with the Special District Act, as are necessary for or incidental to the
performance of the Metropolitan Districts' duties as outlined in the Service Plan.
b. Concurrent with and subject to the formation of the Metropolitan Districts for the
purposes contemplated hereunder, Crossroads will execute a petition for the formation of
a single general- improvement district, whose boundaries will be coextensive with the
Property limits (the "GID "). The GID will be authorized to undertake, pursuant to an
intergovernmental agreement with the Metropolitan Districts (the "IGA "), the
management, operation and maintenance of certain Required Improvements and the
financing required in connection therewith. The IGA will expressly limit the GID's
powers to: (i) controlling the use of the Plaza; (ii) operating and maintaining certain
Required Improvements; and (iii) securing financing necessary to perform such
functions.
c. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3, the Metropolitan Districts will delegate,
assign or otherwise convey to the GID the authority to control the use of the Plaza,
Agmt -DIA Crossroads (FINAL) 8
AiAllk( 11 14. 200
pursuant to the terms of the IGA, for the life of the SDD. Such authority shall include,
without limitation, the power to plan, program, schedule, administer and regulate all
public and special events conducted on the Plaza and otherwise use and run the Plaza for
the public benefit; provided, however, that all Plaza uses including, without limitation,
public and special events, must be consistent with ordinary uses for similar public parks
within the Town. Although the Town -run GID will have the authority to control the use
of the Plaza, within the parameters of the IGA, the Metropolitan Districts will retain the
responsibility for maintaining the Plaza in material conformance with the standards
generally and ordinarily observed by any recognized first -class hotel operator (the
"Operating Standard"). If the Metropolitan District fails to maintain the Plaza consistent
with the Operating Standard, the Metropolitan District shall delegate, assign or otherwise
convey to the GID the authority to maintain the Plaza for the life of the SDD; provided,
however, that the GID shall be required to maintain the Plaza in compliance with the
Operating Standard, the IGA and any other agreement(s) or instrument(s) bearing on the
operation and maintenance of the Plaza.
d. In addition to the foregoing, the parties agree that the following provisions shall govern
the use and operation of the Plaza:
i. The public shall have free and unrestricted access to the Plaza, except during
public and special events approved by the GID.
ii. No special events shall conclude after 11:OOpm without the prior written consent
of Crossroads and the Metropolitan Districts.
iii. Crossroads shall have the right to schedule and conduct 15 special events each
calendar year; provided, however, that Crossroads shall be required to schedule
and conduct such special events in accordance with the GID's procedures in effect
from time to time.
iv. The party conducting the special event shall be responsible for all costs associated
with the special event, including the cost of cleaning the Plaza consistent with the
Operating Standard and restoring the Plaza to the condition that existed prior to
the occurrence of the special event. To the extent that the party conducting the
special event cannot complete such cleanup and restoration prior to 11:00pm on
the night of the special event, such party shall complete the remaining cleanup
and restoration between 7:00am and 10:00am on the following morning.
V. All special events shall be conducted in such a manner as to allow free and
unrestricted access to the commercial establishments adjacent to the Plaza at all
times.
4. Bonding For Public Improvements The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, no certificates of occupancy, temporary or
permanent, will be issued for the Crossroads Project until Crossroads has: (a) completed the
4 Required Improvements as set forth in Section 2 above; or (b) posted or caused to be posted
security for the remaining incomplete items with the Town (by letter of credit or other
Agmt -DIA Crossroads (FINAL) 9
t
reasonably acceptable financial device), in an amount equal to 125% of the projected
construction costs of those remaining items.
5. Schedule for Performance Crossroads agrees to commence Vertical Construction, as
hereinafter defined, not later than 3 years following final non - appealable approval of Town
of Vail Ordinance No. 5, Series 2006. "Vertical Construction" shall mean above ground
construction of the frame or at least one elevator core.
6. Certificate of Compliance It is agreed that, upon completion of any of the Required
Improvements contemplated by this Agreement and the expiration of the warranty period (as
defined below), the Town shall, upon the request of the party responsible for the particular
Required Improvement(s), execute a certificate stating that such improvement(s) have been
constructed in compliance with this Agreement. Said certificate shall not be unreasonably
withheld if the requesting party has completed the improvements in a good and workmanlike
manner, consistent with the Final Plans.
7. Warranty Crossroads shall warrant any and all Offsite Improvements for which it is
responsible hereunder for a period of 2 years from the date of substantial completion, as
evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy ( "Substantial
Completion "). Specifically, Crossroads shall warrant that any and all offsite physical
improvements required by this Agreement which are conveyed, dedicated or otherwise done
for the benefit of the public shall be free from any defects in materials and workmanship, and
free from any security interest, monetary lien or other encumbrance for a period of two 2
years from the date of Substantial Completion.
8. Liability of Successors The provisions hereof touch and concern and run with the ownership
of the Property. However, Crossroads' rights and obligations as set forth in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, Crossroads' responsibilities with respect to the Required
Improvements (the "Development Obligations "), shall be assignable as set forth below:
a. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 above, Crossroads will
assign to the Metropolitan Districts the authority to construct, operate and maintain the
Required Improvements, or eligible portions thereof, to the extent the same qualify for
public financing under Colorado law.
b. In addition to the foregoing, Crossroads may assign the operation and maintenance of any
Required Improvements that do not qualify for public financing under Colorado law
(including, by way of example, the Lobby Amenities and the Parking Facility) to any
owners' association formed in connection with the Crossroads Project.
c. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8, Crossroads may assign the Development
Obligations, or relevant portions thereof, to any successor owner in the Crossroads
Project.
d. If Crossroads assigns any of the Development Obligations pursuant to this Section 8,
Crossroads will have no further liability for any of those Development Obligations that
are so assigned.

hereunder, when the relevant requirements have been satisfied or assigned.
f. Subject to the foregoing provisions, (i) this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of Crossroads and its successors and assigns, and (ii) references in this
Agreement to "Crossroads" shall be construed to include its successors and assigns from

g. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Movie Theater and
Bowling Alley shall be owned and operated as part of the Uniform Commercial
Enterprise for the life of the SDD. Ownership of and responsibility for the Movie
Theater and Bowling Alley, including all obligations in Section 2.b.vii above, may only
be transferred to a purchaser who acquires the Unified Commercial Enterprise in its
entirety.
9. Vested Rights Except to the extent that Crossroads must satisfy the requirements of Section
5 above, Crossroads and the Town agree that the Crossroads Project Approvals and this
Agreement collectively constitute an approved "site- specific development plan" for the
Property and the Crossroads Project under the Vested Rights Laws (as defined below).
Pursuant thereto, the Town agrees that Crossroads, and its successors in interest in the
ownership of the Property, or any portion thereof, will be entitled and have the right to
undertake and complete development of the Property and the Crossroads Project in

supplemented in connection with the development process by additional development and
construction plans, platting or otherwise. This right to so develop shall constitute a vested
property right under C.R.S. § 24 -68 -101, et seq. (the "Vested Rights Act "), and/or Town Code
§ 12 -19 -1, et seq. (collectively the "Vested Rights Laws "), and this Agreement shall
constitute a development agreement within the meaning of the Vested Rights Act. The
following language is hereby deemed incorporated into each of the Crossroads Project
Approvals (and amendments and supplements thereto) as well as this Agreement: "Approval
of this plan may create a vested property right pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes title 24,
