Suite 750, D:_'as, Texas 75201, upon the terms and conditions set forth below. The Town and
Developer may be referred to hereinafter collectively as the "Parties" and each individually a~ a
Recitals
Capitalized terms used in these Recitals have the meanings set forth in Section 1.02 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 and an unimproved charter bus parking lot located in the Town of
Vail, Colorado at 395 South Frontage Road, as legally described on Exhibit A hereto
(collectively, the The Site is owned by the Town and consists of approximately 6.6
acres, on which the Town currently operates a 1,150 space public parking structure. The Site is
legally described on Exhibit A hereto, which is made a part hereof, and is as depicted on the
"Site Map," attached as Exhibit B hereto, which is made apart hereof. The Site is located within
the "Lionshead Master Plan study area" identified in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
(as defined herein).
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 mixed-use redevelopment of the Site.
Developer was one of two entities to respond. to the RFP. The Developer's RFP response
included those documents attached hereto as Exhibits C-1 and C-2 (the "RFP Response"). 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 and concepts 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) the 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
active lodging uses that encourage short-term stays, especially during off-season months; (v) the
need for development of meeting/event/conference facilities accessory to hotel and lodging uses;
(vi) the need to provide loading and delivery for uses created on the Site, which can also be use
by adjacent Lionshead retail uses; (vii) the need for siting a Lionshead transit facility on the Site
to accommodate 5 buses for regional bus traffic; and (viii) the need to make South Frontage
Road improvements consistent with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and acceptable
to the Town and the Colorado Department of Transportation.
D. As proposed by the Developer, the Project will address the several components
above and identified by the Town in the RFP. The RFP Response proposed: (i) replacement of
the current parking facility with a new parking facility having approximately 1,450 public
parking spaces, plus additional parking as may be required by the Zoning Regulations in order to
support the uses in (ii) through (ix) of this paragraph; (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 certain facilities currently
located in the Existing Garage (as defined herein); (viii) two neW Hotels, with no less than 240
guest rooms, no more than 130 residential units, and no less than 25 fractional fee units allocated
between the two hotels; and (ix) approximately 60,000 square feet of retail space. A current
detailed project description is incorporated by reference as if it were attached as Exhibit C.
E. The Parties intend that the new parking structure (with the exception of
approximately 300 privately owned parking spaces related to the hotels, condominium units and
fractional fee units), the transit center, the information center and certain road improvements will
be owned, operated and maintained by the Town, but will be constructed by the Developer at the
Developer's expense. The Parties presently expect that the conference center will be owned,
operated and maintained by a metropolitan district, but will be constructed by the Developer for
the metropolitan district at the Developer's expense, which may be reimbursed by the
metropolitan district. The Parties intend that the retail space, hotels, residential and fractional fee
units will be owned, operated and maintained by Developer, and will be constructed by the
Developer at the Developer's expense.
F. In consideration of Developer's commitment to have the Public Improvements
and Private Improvements (as each is defined herein) constructed pursuant to this Agreement,
and in consideration of Developer's other obligations hereunder, Town is willing to convey to
Developer the Town's legal interest in the development areas where the Private Improvements
will be constructed and the Town's legal interest in the development area where the Private
Parking will be constructed.
G. The Parties now desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the rights,
obligations and method of participation of the Parties with respect to the development of the
Project (as defined herein) on the Site.

substantial time and investment which has been and will be incurred by Developer and its
Affiliates in planning for and undertaking the Project, and to afford Developer and its Affiliates
and successors certainty of the availability of development rights during the potential phasing of
the Project and the economic cycles and variability in market conditions that Developer and its
Affiliates and successors many encounter during the development of the Project. The following
language is hereby deemed incorporated into the Approved Development Plan (and amendments
18
and supplements thereto) as well as this Agreement: "Approval of this plan may create a vested

CONFERENCE CENTER SUMMARY
1. THE VAIL CONFERENCE CENTER-- FACILITY CHARACTERSITICS
A. General
The Vail Conference Center will accommodate a wide range of events. The proposed
facility will have meeting space that is divided in both general session space and meeting/
breakout spaces capable of supporting conferences and meetings. The Vail Conference Center
will have pre-function space suitable for attendee registration, kitchen facilities for event catering
and presentation equipment suitable for both large groups and breakout sessions. The main
meeting space / ballroom will be divisible in order to support simultaneous events. In total, the
Vail Conference Center is proposed to have approximately 34,000 total gross square feet of
ballroom, breakout, pre-function, and back-of-the-house space, as may be amended and
supplemented by the Conference Center Agreement.
The Vail Conference Center is being designed and programmed to have facilities that are
similar or better than other conference centers in comparable resort settings. According to HVS
Convention, Sports and Entertainment Facilities Consulting Division, Vail's peer comparable
resort conference facilities include Banff Centre, Monterey Conference Center, Snowmass
Conference Center, Telluride Conference Center, Keystone Conference Center and Whistler
Conference Center. The quality of design, materials, finishes, furnishings and equipment being
planned is to be comparable in quality, or better, than these resort conference facilities.
B. Main Ballroom
The Main Ballroom/Exhibit Space will serve as both a large banquet area and an area for
exhibits. The space will have ceilings of approximately twenty-five feet in height and clear
spans with limited numbers of support columns in the room. The quality level of the space will
be appropriate for Vail's finest formal dinners and social functions. The space will have
attractive and durable carpeting and will appear like a true ballroom rather than an exhibit hall.
The space will be divisible with soundproof movable walls. Loading docks will be positioned
strategically to enable easy loading and unloading of exhibit materials. There will be sound
attenuation and a sophisticated sound and AV system. There will be a kitchen facility in close
proximity to the ballroom space, which will insure efficient delivery of food service. There will
be extensive utility service in the ballroom space including but not limited to electricity,
telecommunications, hookups and water.
C. Meeting/Breakout Rooms
These rooms will vary in size from approximately 500 to 2,000 square feet. They will be
divisible into smaller units in order to provide maximum flexibility. They will be carpeted and
have a high level of finish. The majority of the meeting spaces will have flat floors and no fixed
seating so that they can be configured for an assortment of meeting needs. Meeting rooms will
have variable lighting setups, sound attenuation, and sophisticated sound and AV systems. The
Boardrooms will be elegant meeting rooms with formal conference tables and seating.
2. VAIL CONFERENCE CENTER POSITIONING
Vail is a highly attractive location for event planners as both a resort destination and a
corporate/executive meeting destination. The Vail Conference Center will be positioned and
marketed as a combination executive and resort conference center.
As an executive conference center, the Vail Conference Center will provide facilities
needed for mid-to upper-level executive managerial meetings, including strategic planning,
forecasting and budgeting, sales and marketing, state-of-the corporation reports, new product
introductions and educational and training seminars. Clients will be corporations, associations,
government, institutions and social uses.
