or request of the Town, expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or

lien. Lessee shall not be required to pay or discharge any mechanic's lien or claims if Lessee in

Lessee shall give notice in writing to the Town of its intention to contest the validity of such lien
or claim.
ARTICLE 5 — INDEMNIFICATION
Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Town and its officers, insurers,

Toss, or damage, including, without limitation, claims arising from bodily injury, personal injury,
sickness, disease, death, property loss or damage, or any other Toss of any kind whatsoever,
which arise out of or are in any manner connected with this Lease or the Premise, unless
caused by the negligence of the Town.

ARTICLE 6 — INSURANCE
A. Coverages. Lessee covenants and agrees that from the date hereof Lessee will
procure and maintain throughout the term, at its sole cost and expense, all of the following
insurance:
1. Comprehensive broad form general public liability insurance in common
use for commercial structures with extended coverage endorsement
protecting the Town and Lessee and covering the Premise, common
areas, and parking areas and sidewalks located adjacent to the Premise
and Lessee's use thereof against claims for personal injury, death and
property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premise, such insurance
to afford protection to the limit of not less than two million dollars
($2,000,000) combined single limit. The insurance coverage required
under this Section shall, in addition, extend to any liability of Lessee
arising out of the indemnities provided for in Article 6.
2. Workers' compensation insurance covering all employees, in the amounts
required by law.
3. Fire and extended coverage insurance covering the Premise for injury or
damage by the elements, or through any other cause, and all alterations,
extensions, and improvements thereto and on the Premise and
replacements thereof, including all appurtenances, whether on the
Premise or extending beyond the boundaries thereof, against loss or
damage by fire and the risks contemplated within the extended and
malicious mischief (as such endorsements may customarily be written in
Colorado from time to time), in an amount not less than the full actual
replacement cost of the Premise, common areas, and appurtenances,
and sufficient to prevent the Town or Lessee from becoming a co-insurer
of any partial loss.
4. Rental value insurance, covering loss or damage by fire with extended
coverage.
5. Business interruption insurance and/or loss of "rental value" insurance.
6. During the course of any construction or repair of improvements on the

B. Form. All policies shall be issued by solvent and responsible insurance
companies licensed to do business in the State of Colorado with a general policy holder's rating
of not less than "A" and a financial rating of "AAA", as rated in the most current available "Bests"
Insurance Reports, and qualified to write such policies in the State of Colorado. Each policy
shall be issued in the names of the Town and Lessee, and their designees. All policies shall be
for the mutual and joint benefit and protection of the Town and Lessee. All policies or
certificates thereof shall be delivered to the Town upon execution of this Lease and thereafter
within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each policy. If any policy expires or terminates,
renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Lessee. All such policies of
insurance shall contain provisions stating that the company writing said policy will give the Town
at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of any cancellation, lapse or reduction in
4
coverage amounts, and that the insurer waives the right of subrogation against the Town and
against the Town's agents and representatives. All public liability, property damage and other
casualty policies shall be written as primary policies which do not contribute to and are not in
excess of coverage which the Town may carry.
C. Default. Lessee's failure to provide and keep in force any of the insurance
policies required by this Article shall be a material default of this Lease, entitling the Town to
exercise any or all of the remedies provided in this Lease in the event of Lessee's default.
D. No waiver. Lessee's insurance shall not be construed as any waiver or
modification of the Town's rights under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. § 24-
10-101, et seq.
ARTICLE 7 — TERMINATION
Termination by Town upon Notice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease, the Town may terminate this Lease pursuant to Article 8 below, or may terminate this
Lease without cause, by providing Lessee with a minimum of one year prior written notice.
Provided, however, if the Town terminates this Lease without cause prior to December 31,
2026, the Town shall reimburse the Lessee for the depreciated cost (over ten years) of the
actual capital cost of the major renovation described in Article 2(A) above, minus 1) the cost of
museum exhibits; and 2) the Town's financial contribution to the major renovation (five hundred
thousand dollars - $500,000).
ARTICLE 8 — BREACH
A. If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, the Town shall
provide Lessee with written notice of the breach. Lessee shall have 15 days after the date of

the cure is promptly begun, such cure period shall be extended for as long as the cure is being
diligently undertaken to completion, as determined by the Town.
B. If Lessee fails to cure the breach within 15 days after the date of the notice or a
cure is not diligently being undertaken, the Town may, in its sole discretion, cure the breach
after a reasonable attempt to schedule the cure around Lessee's schedule. If the Town
chooses to cure the breach, Lessee shall be liable for the costs and fees that the Town expends
to cure the breach, including any costs resulting from the work of Town employees. Lessee's
liability for costs and fees associated with curing a breach shall survive the termination of this
Lease.
C. In addition to curing a breach by Lessee, the Town may, in its sole discretion,
terminate this Lease as a result of Lessee's failure to cure the breach; provided that such
termination shall be approved by the Vail Town Council at a public meeting. If the Town
chooses to terminate this Lease under this subsection, it shall give BFAG 30 days' written
notice.
