Vail, Colorado 81657 (the "Town") and [OPEN/HILLWOOD], a [ organized
under the laws of the State of [ ("Developer"), located at upon the terms
and conditions set forth below. The Town and Developer may be referred to hereinafter
collectively as the "Parties" and each individually as a "Party."
Recitals
Capitalized terms used in these Recitals have the meanings set forth in Section [1.01] of
this Agreement. This Agreement is made with respect to the following facts:
A. The Town is the owner of certain real property commonly referred to as the
Lionshead Parking Structure (the "Existing Garage"), located in the Town of Vail, Colorado, as
described on Exhibit [_I hereto (the "Site"). The Site is owned by the Town and consists of
approximately 6.6 acres, on which the Town currently operates the Existing Garage, which is a
1,150 space public parking structure. The Site also includes an unimproved charter bus parking
lot located at 395 South Frontage Road in Vail, Colorado. The Site is legally described on
[Exhibit A] hereto, which is made a part hereof, and is as depicted on the "Site Man," attached as
[Exhibit B] hereto, which is made a part hereof. The Site is located in the Lionshead Plan Area.
B. On May 10, 2006, the Town issued its "Request for Proposals: To redevelop
existing parking structure in Vail, Colorado as a mixed use development providing over 1,150
public parking spaces" (the "RFP") for the potential redevelopment of the Existing Garage.
Developer was one of two entities to respond to the RFP. As the result of this process, on March
13, 2007, the Town Council authorized the staff to begin a 120 day period of exclusive
negotiations with Developer for the redevelopment of the Site.
C. The Town, in preparing the RFP, identified certain goals for the Site, including,
but not limited to the following: i) the existing parking structure needs both capital and
operational improvements and the Town needs an additional 400-500 additional public parking
spaces to minimize overflow parking on South Frontage Road to 15 days per winter season; ii)
redevelopment of the Site should include retail on the south side, as called for in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan, and pedestrian, transit, and vehicular circulation needs to be
improved between the Site and the Lionshead retail area; iii) the Lionshead information center
needs to be improved; iv) the Town has a strong preference for "hot beds"; v) the development
of meeting/event/conference facilities accessory to hotel and lodging uses; vi) to provide loading
and delivery for uses created on the Site, which can also be used by adjacent Lionshead retail
uses; vii) siting a Lionshead transit facility on the Site to accommodate 5 buses for regional bus
traffic; and viii) making South Frontage Road improvements consistent with the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan and acceptable to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
D. As proposed by the Developer, thq Project will address the several components
above and identified by the Town in the RFP. The RFP Response proposed: i) replacement of
DRAFT -136151-9 1
the current parking facility with a new underground parking facility having approximately 1,500
public parking spaces for skiers, including approximately 140 short-term skier drop-off/retail
stalls, with a total of 1,800 parking spaces overall; ii) a retail oriented pedestrian street; iii) a
fully integrated transportation center with 5 ECO Bus/ Town Shuttle Bus bays and local day
skier drop-offs; iv) a conference center; v) a new roundabout and frontage road improvements;
vi) a new Town information center; vii) on-site replacement of the VRD Recreation Center and
Colorado Mental Health Offices; viii) two new hotels, with approximately [250] guest rooms,
[100] residential units, and [30] fractional fee units allocated between the two hotels; and ix) two
levels of approximately 60,000 square feet of retail space.
E. The Parties intend that the new parking structure and related public improvements
will be owned, operated and maintained by the Town or a metropolitan district (with the
exception of approximately 300 privately owned parking spaces related to the hotels,
condominium units and fractional fee units), but would be constructed by the Developer at the
Developer's expense. The Parties intend that the hotels and retail space will be owned by
Developer, and will be constructed by the Developer at the Developer's expense.
F. In consideration for Developer's services to be performed under this Agreement,
Town is willing to convey its interest in the Site to Developer, which will include the Private
Improvements. In consideration for Town's conveyance of the Private Improvements to
Developer, Developer is willing to perform the services under this Agreement and to convey
back to the Town, and/or a Metropolitan District, any interest it has in the areas of the Site where
the new parking structure will be located, and the other public improvements, all in accordance
with this Agreement.

obligations and method of participation of the Parties with respect to the development of the
Project on the Site.

this Article, to the other Party upon request. For the property insurance required to be carried by
Developer under Section [14.02(b)(i)], Developer will cause its insurer(s) to provide the Town
and its commissioners, directors, officers, employees and agents with waivers of subrogation.

[14.02(a)(i)] relating to the New Parking Structure, Town will cause its insurer(s) to provide the

additional kinds and amounts of insurance on the Project (excepting the New Parking Structure)
that, in its judgment, may be necessary for its proper protection in the completion of the Project.

[Article XIV] (including the limits or any other terms under policies for such insurance) ceases
to be available at all, or ceases to be available on commercially reasonable terms (as defined

the other Party of the first Party's opinion to that effect. Such opinion shall include (and shall be
based upon, among other things) a certificate from an independent insurance advisor of
recognized national standing pertaining to the then current state of the commercial insurance
market. The second Party shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to modify such insurance
requirement based upon the first Party's opinion and such related documentation. The first Party
DRAFT -136151-9 44
shall, in any event, obtain and maintain such lesser coverage as is then available on
commercially reasonable terms until the relevant insurance required pursuant to this [Article
XIV] again becomes available on commercially reasonable terms, whereupon the first Party shall
obtain and maintain such insurance. For the purpose of this Section, insurance will be
considered to be not "available on commercially reasonable terms" if (i) it is either not
obtainable or obtainable only at excessive costs, or (ii) it is generally not being carried by or
applicable to development projects or operations similar to and in the same geographic area as
the Project.]
(d) Each Party shall contractually require that contractors/ subcontractors employed
by such Party are properly insured with limits satisfactory to the Town, based on the type of

shall deliver to the other Party a certificate of insurance showing the effectiveness of the ;
insurance required by this Agreement together with a new certificate of insurance showing the
effectiveness of a replacement policy.

Party as an insured, on account of any loss, damage or liability, then the Party that is paid the
proceeds hereby releases (or shall be required to release) the other Party, to the extent of the
amount of such proceeds, or the amount of such proceeds which would have been paid if the
required insurance was in effect, from any and all liability for such loss, damage or liability,
notwithstanding that such loss, damage or liability may arise out of the negligent or tortious act
or omission of the other Party.
(i) A waiver of right of recovery clause stating that the insurance policy shall not be
negated by such waiver shall be included in the insurance policies of each Party. Each Party
waives its and its insurers' rights of subrogation against the other Party.
0) [Every insurance policy maintained by Developer pursuant to this Agreement
shall (i) provide that thirty (30) days advance written notice shall be given to Town of
cancellation, modification, termination or lapse of coverage except that only ten (10) days
advance written notice shall be required in the event of cancellation, modification, termination or
lapse of coverage as a result of non payment of premium, and that such insurance, as to the
interest of the Town, shall not be invalidated by any act or neglect of the Town or its respective

Site nor by any change in the title to or ownership of the Site, nor by use or occupation of the

(i) provide that thirty (30) days advance written notice shall be given to Developer of
cancellation, modification, termination or lapse of coverage except that only ten (10) days
advance written notice shall be required in the event of non payment of premium, and that such
insurance, as to the interest of Developer, shall not be invalidated by any act or neglect of
Developer, its Affiliates or agents, the Town or any other named insured, additional insured or
loss payee, nor by any foreclosure or any other proceedings relating to the Site nor by any
change in the title to or ownership of the Site, nor by use or occupation of the Site for purposes
more hazardous than are permitted by such policy; and (ii) in the event any insuring company is
not domiciled within the United States of America, include a United States Service of Suit clause

successors and assigns under this Agreement, and the Town shall have no other rights or
remedies under this Agreement, other than termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
