NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS; 1. THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. The parties agree that the following description of the proposed land use for portions of the Landowner owned -/X Ranch and City owned Burlingame Ranch ("The Development Plan") constitutes the desired result of this Agreement as it sets forth the best land use for the Property Proposed to be Annexed and in the best interest of the City of Aspen. The parties believe that the Development Plan as set forth herein is consistent with the City of Aspen Land Use Code and the Aspen Area Community Plan. In the event Landowner has obtained Final Plat approval for the Free Market Component (defined below) prior to the time City has obtained Final Plat Approval for the Affordable Housing Component (defined below), then, the references in paragraphs 2 e, f and g and paragraph 19 of this Agreement which refer to the Development Plan shall mean the Free Market Component of the Development Plan. A. DEVELOPMENT PARCEL. The parcel of land to be developed is depicted graphically in Exhibit B appended hereto and shall consist of the -IX Ranch plus a portion of the Burlingame Ranch lying East of Highway 82, less the areas of Burlingame Ranch known as Parcel B (MAA Housing) and Parcels C, and D, the exact size to be determined during final planning and design phases. A parcel from the -IX Ranch consisting of approximately 21.5 acres ("20 Acre Parcel"), the exact size and location to be determined dm:ing final planning and design, but substantially in the location as shown on Exhibit B, shall be conveyed by warranty deed by Landowner to City following the recording of a subdivision plat for the Free Market Component (defined below) consistent with the Development Plan as it pertains to the Free Market Component and upon expiration of the Appeal Period as defined at Paragraph 20 of this Agreement. City has inspected the acres to be conveyed to the City and deems them suitable for construction of affordable housing as contemplated herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a small portion of the 20 Acre Parcel which was acquired by Landowner in a quiet title action and which is described on Exhibit T-A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, shall be conveyed without warranty. I. Boundarv Line Adiustments. a, Citv - Ranch. The parties agree that they will cooperate with each other and quit claim small strips of land as necessary to establish the boundary between the Ranch and the Burlingame Ranch as the existing fence line. b. Soldner - Ranch. The neighboring Soldner family has questioned the location of the common boundary of the Ranch and the Soldner property. If, at the time of Final Plat recording, the boundary has not been established, by either the mutual agreement of the Soldners and Landowner or by a court decree, the Final Plat shall identifY the area in dispute and except it from any warranty of title in the certification of ownership. If the 60 foot right of way easement which may be required to be conveyed to City pursuant to paragraph 1.H.f. below, will encroach into the area in dispute, the Final Plat shall dedicate said right of way outside of the area in dispute, provided that Landowner shall have the right to relocate the right of way along the finally determined boundary line, revise its dedication and amend the Final Plat accordingly, In such event, City agrees to vacate any portion of the right of way previously dedicated so' that it runs along the finally determined common boundary line. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if City has made improvements to the right of way prior to the final determination of the common boundary line and if Landowner desires to relocate the right of way, Landowner shall be responsible for all costs of relocation of such improvements. If Landowner does not elect to relocate the right of way and improvements made therein by City, the right of way shall remain as shown on the Final Plat. 2. Lease of 20 Acre Parcel. Subsequent to the conveyance to City of the 20 Acre Parcel and prior to commencement of development activities on it for the Affordable Housing Component (defined below), Landowner shall have the right to lease the 20 Acre Parcel from the City for agricultural purposes. The rental amount shall be at prevailing rates for grazing and crop production land. Any such lease shall terminate at such time as City commences development of the Affordable Housing Component on the 20 Acre Parcel. During the term of such lease Landowner shall be entitled to use the water rights appurtenant to the 20 Acre Parcel to maintain its historic irrigation. B. ZONING OF PROPERTY PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION. Subject to all applicable processes and approvals, the parcel of land proposed for development shall be zoned as follows: Affordable HousingiPlanned Unit Development (AHlPUD) pursuant to Section 26.710.110 of the Aspen Land Use Code, as amended from time to time, for most of the land within the Free Market Lots; zoning for (P) Public zone district uses (with a PUD designation) and a Specially Planned Area overlay to permit the City Council to consider cultural and academic activities within the Fathering Parcel (the "Cultural Use Area"); and (C) Conservation zone district (with a PUD designation) for most of the remaining land within the Fathering Parcel. A proposed zone district map of the Free Market Component is attached hereto as Exhibit H - Proposed Zone Districts. The detailed description of the Cultural Use Area uses and any restrictions or conditions concerning them shall be determined in the Final Plat land use review process and any subsequent amendments thereto, in the sole discretion of the City. It is understood that no high intensity agricultural uses such as hog farms, feed lots or large-scale animal or food processing operations will be permitted. The parties acknowledge that the AHlPUD zone district is an incentive zone district to provide for the use of land for the production of category affordable housing and resident occupied lots and units (as defined by the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority Guidelines). The parties further acknowledge that the zone district requires that affordable housing and resident occupied units must comprise at least seventy (70%) percent of the total bedroom mix in the development (hereinafter the "Affordable Housing Component"). In addition, only thirty (30%) percent of the development's bedrooms may be located within the free market units (hereinafter the "Free Market Component"). C. DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS. The Development Plan anticipates and it is of the essence of this Agreement that the development rights and restrictions set forth below shall be applied for by the parties herein to the City's Community Development Department pursuant to and consistent with the standards and procedures set forth in the City's Land Use Code. In the event that by December 31,2004, or such later date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, the Aspen City Council does not approve the requisite land use applications with terms and conditions consistent with this agreement and other conditions reasonably acceptable to Landowner, this Pre-annexation Agreement shall be deemed null and void. 1.

The locations of the free market lots, the Fathering Parcel, and cabin site are shown on Exhibit B appended hereto. The right to build a cabin shall be subject, however, to Landowner being able to satisfY reasonable requirements for the provision of fire and emergency services; provided, however that due to the desire to avoid direct, year round, road access to the cabin, alternative access such as via a stairway or funicular will be permitted and in such case the cabin shall be sprinklered, a fire hydrant, hoses and other non-vehicular fire fighting equipment shall be placed at or near the cabin and the Landowner shall execute a waiver and release of claims in favor of the City and all emergency service providers for any injuries, death, or property damage which may occur due to the absence of a year round road to the cabin. 2. Free Market Lots = FAR. The allowable floor area of houses, exclusive of accessory buildings, on each of the 12 lots shall be 7,500 square feet. The allowable floor area of each house may be increased to 10,000 square feet with the purchase' and extinguishment of a Transferable Development Right (TDR) from Pitkin County that may be, on the effective date of this Agreement, used in the Metro Area of Pitkin County (lands that drain through the Roaring Fork River at Gerbazedale); provided, however, that the City Council approves the specific TDR's to be used for this purpose. The floor area shall be measured by using the City floor area regulations for square footage inclusions and exclusions as calculated under the City code provisions in existence on June 1, 2000. A copy of such regulations is attached hereto at Exhibit I _ Floor Area Calculations. In the event that TDR's are not available for purchase after a reasonable effort is made to do so, or the City Council rejects a specific TDR proposed for use by the land owner, a payment-in-lieu, in the amount of $200,000.00 plus an amount equivalent to any increase in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter "Cpr') as calculated by the method suggested by Exhibit K appended hereto, shall be made to the City's Open Space Fund in order to increase the allowable sizes of the houses up to the maximum stated herein. 3. Free Market Lots = sizes. landscaping. etc. The lot sizes within the Free Market Component shall be as shown on Exhibit B.

All urban landscaping within the building envelopes shall be limited to within 100 feet of building exteriors. Landscaping, ponds, fences, and ranch, farming, equestrian and recreational uses and accessory structures associated with equestrian activities shall be allowed outside of building envelopes on all lots. The remainder of the land within specific Lots, but outside of building envelops shall be subject to protective covenants. that limit its use to agricultural, equestrian, recreation, or open space uses or otherwise incorporated into ranch use. All lands that are subject to the protective covenants shall be limited to the above uses or shall be required to remain in their natural vegetative state. The term "natural vegetative state" may include the introduction of indigenous plant and tree species. 4. Free Market Lots = Accessorv Dwelling Units. Each house within the Free Market Component, other than the Fathering Parcel, shall include an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADD) with a minimum of 600 square feet and a maximum of 1,000 square feet. Each ADU required to be constructed shall be constructed at the same time as the construction of the house of the Free Market Component to which it is attributable. The ADU's shall be subj ect to the occupancy requirements and allowances of the City's ADU regulations in effect on June 1, 2000. A copy of such regulations is attached hereto at Exhibit J - ADD Regulations. The square footage of the ADU's shall not be included in the calculation of square footage for the free market units. The ADU's may be either attached to the main residence or may be detached. The requirement to build an ADU may be exempted with the purchase and extinguishment of a Transferable Development Right (TDR) from Pitkin County that may be, on the effective date of this Agreement, used in the Metro Area of Pitkin County (lands that drain through the Roaring Fork River at Gerbazedale), and which are acceptable by the City Council. In the event that TDR's are not available for purchase after a reasonable effort is made to do so, or the City Council rejects a specific TDR proposed for use by the land owner, a payment-in-lieu, in the amount of $200,000.00 plus an amount equivalent to any increase in the CPI, shall be made to the City's Housing Fund. (Each purchase and extinguishment of a TDR shall be designated for use as either an exemption of the requirement to build an ADU or to increase FAR.) 5. Free Market Lots. Maroon Creek Viewnlane. Construction on the free market lots shall not impact the "Maroon Creek Viewplane" as depicted on Exhibit B. The purpose of the Maroon Creek Viewplane is to ensure that no rooms, decks, or lighting create an adverse visual impact as viewed from the floor of the Maroon Creek Canyon in the area below each home site. The General Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions to be imposed upon the free market lots shall include a covenant restriction requiring, prior to construction on any such lot, a site specific analysis by a certified surveyor or engineer demonstrating that the proposed construction does not impact the Maroon Creek Viewplane. The City of Aspen shall be a beneficiary of this covenant. 6. The Fathering Parcel. The Fathering Parcel shall be permitted to have one main residence, up to three (3) additional residences and one cabin. The final PUD Agreement shall contain a provision that prohibits any further subdivision of the Fathering Parcel, except that the subdivision and separate parceling of the Cultural Use Area (referred to in paragraph 1.B above) and a separate parcel for the Ranch Manager's RO Lot (referred to in paragraph 1.C.12 below) are permitted. The allowable floor area for the residences on the Fathering Parcel shall be a total of 15,000 square feet for a main residence and up to three (3) other residences. The total FAR of 15,000 square feet may be increased to a total of 18,000 square feet with the purchase and extinguishment of two (2) TDR's from Pitkin County, or at the option of the lot owner, a payment-in-lieu, in the amount of $200,000.00 for each TDR plus an amount equivalent to any increase in the CPI per TDR, may be made to the City's Housing Fund or Open Space Fund (at the discretion of City Council) in order to increase the allowable sizes of the houses up to the maximum stated herein. The total FAR may be divided among the four houses at the option of Landowner. The Cabin located at the Cabin site as shown on Exhibit B, shall have an allowable floor area of 1,500 square feet. Floor areas shall be measured by using the City floor area regulations for square footage inclusions and exclusions as of June I, 2000. See Exhibit I, attached hereto for Floor Area regulations. All non-residential ranch buildings shall be excluded in the calculation of permitted floor area. City acknowledges and agrees that the rights granted hereby for development on the Fathering Parcel are exempt from the City's GMQS due to the extent of the lawful pre-existing development and residential uses on the -/X Ranch, which has "grandfathered" legal status under current Pitkin County Zoning and pursuant to the provisions of the AH/PUD Zone. Notwithstanding the above, if any existing residential unit on the Fathering Parcel is replaced with a new unit that exceeds 4,000 square feet in area, then, as described in Section 4 above, an ADU shall be either constructed or be exempted by the purchase and extinguishment of a TDR from Pitkin County or by the cash in lieu payment of $200,000.00 plus an amount equivalent to any increase in the CPI, in the same manner as for other Free Market Units. 7. Fencing. All fencing in or surrounding the free market lots shall be of a design, type and material that is approved by the Colorado Division of Wildlife as consistent with ranch operations and which does not unreasonably impede the movement of wildlife, except that fencing along Old Stage Road and fencing between the Free Market Component and the 20 Acre Parcel may be installed which protects agricultural operations, including, without limitation, the . grazing of cattle and horses, and other land uses, from interference by trespassers. 8. The Cabin. The site of the cabin shall be as shown on Exhibit B, which site shall be subject to Sec. 26.435.040 of the City of Aspen Land Use Code or any other provisions of said Code related to aesthetics, wildlife migration corridors, trail development, river impacts and other similar matters. Any change in the location of the cabin site may require, if applicable, its development to be reviewed and. approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission pursuant to the standards of review set forth at Section 26.435.040 of the City of Aspen Land Use Code or any other applicable provisions of said Code related to aesthetics, wildlife migration corridors, river impacts and other similar matters in effect on the date of this Agreement. Landowner understands that construction of the cabin may cause unreasonable disturbance to wildlife during certain times ofthe year. Accordingly, Landlord agrees to limit the construction of the cabin to those periods of time determined to be reasonable by the City during the land use approval process. Following the construction of the cabin, Landowner shall be responsible for the complete restoration of any construction access roads or utility access easements required during construction. The lot containing the cabin shall be burdened with restrictive covenants that (i) if approved by the Fire Marshall pursuant to paragraph 1 C.1 above, prohibit the construction of a future access road to the cabin site; (ii) limit lighting of the cabin to periods of time when it is occupied; (iii) prohibit dogs on the cabin site at all times; and (iv) limit exterior construction to the months of July through September of each year. 9. Vested Rights. The land use approvals and GMQS allotments received by Landowner shall vest for a period of twenty-five (25) years or such longer time as may be allowed under any applicable law, regulation or court decision. The vested rights shall last for a period of 25 years after the date the final PUD and subdivision plat is recorded. Such vesting shall apply to all the rights and entitlements set forth in this Agreement and the final development order for the Free Market Component. As a condition of the annexation of the -IX Ranch, the parties shall enter into a development agreement that sets forth the requisite findings to support this extension of vested rights in accordance with CRS 24- 68-104(2). 10. Further Subdivision. Except as permitted by paragraph1.C.6 above, the Free Market Component, including the Fathering Parcel, shall be deed restricted in perpetuity against any further subdivision, except that this restriction shall not limit an amendment to the development plan which results in residential density that is equal to or less than the density approved under this Agreement and the final development plan for the -IX Ranch. 11. Vacation of Stage Road. Stage Road may be a Pitkin County Road. The City, following annexation of the BarlX Ranch shall vacate Stage Road east of the eastern boundary of the Soldner property beyond any area required for the construction of the access road referenced at Section LA. Lb. above; provided, however, that adequate provisions are made to ensure that other properties served by Stage Road (Caudill and Harvey properties) are not financially harmed by any new arrangements for access to their properties and that maintenance of the road will be undertaken without additional cost to the Caudill and Harvey properties at their densities as they existed on May 21, 2001. Following the vacation of said portion of Stage Road, non-exclusive easements shall be granted for access and underground utilities to the Harvey and Caudill properties. The portion of Stage Road sought to be vacated and the location of the easements to be granted are illustrated on Exhibit "B" appended hereto. 12. Ranch Manager's RO Lot. City shall approve one residential lot, zoned AHlPUD, contiguous to Burlingame Village on land owned by Landowner for a single Resident Occupied Unit, as shown on Exhibit B ("Ranch Manager's House"). This lot shall remain the property of Landowner, except if sold to the Ranch Manager, and shall have the right to connect to (1) the Burlingame Village public road system, and (2) adjoining Burlingame Village utilities. Landowner shall have the right to use this lot in any manner allowed by the City of Aspen Municipal Code and the Aspen/Pitkin County Affordable. Housing Guidelines, including retaining or disposing of title provided that the lot is occupied by an employee engaged for employment on the -IX Ranch. Before the recordation of the final Plat, Landowner shall prepare for the City Attorney's review, a deed restriction consistent with this paragraph to be recorded for this RO unit. Said RO unit shall not be counted towards the 330 units proposed as part of the Affordable Housing Component of the project. The cost of building the RO unit shall be borne entirely by Landowner, including the cost of any utility lines such as water, electric, cable, etc. 13. Water Rights. The Free Market Component, including the Fathering Parcel and Resident Owned Ranch Manager lot, and the Cabin, shall receive City water in accordance with the Water Service Agreement appended hereto as Exhibit F. Among other things, the Water Service Agreement provides that Landowner shall convey to the City (in a form acceptable to the City Attorney) certain water rights described on Addendum 1 (the "Dedicated Water Rights" and the "Dedicated Raw Water Rights.") Such conveyance shall be a prerequisite to provision of water service pursuant to the Water Service Agreement. The City and Landowner agree that said water rights are believed to be sufficient in quantity and quality to allow the City to divert a quantity of water which is necessary, without administrative curtailment, to meet the amount of water required for treated water needs of the Free Market Component, including the Fathering Parcel, Resident Owned Ranch Manager lot, the Cabin and the raw water requirements for irrigation of the open space associated with the Affordable Housing Component, as conditioned and described in further detail in the Water service Agreement attached hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cabin shall have the right to be served by an individual well and if such well is provided, the water rights otherwise attributable to the Cabin need not be conveyed to the City, or if they have been conveyed prior to the time said well is put to beneficial use, then such rights shall be reconveyed by City to landowner. There shall be no material enlargement of historic water use on the Property to be Annexed. The parties acknowledge that there may be reconfiguration of areas irrigated, means of irrigation, and water uses. Landowner shall be solely responsible for obtaining any water rights, changes of water rights, and augmentation plans necessary to permit storage of water for any requirements or needs of the Free Market area. In connection with its conveyance of water rights to the City, Landowner shall contemporaneously convey to the City (in form mutually acceptable to the City Attorney and Landowner) a proportionate interest in any ditches, flumes, headgates or other structures and easements, or rights therein, necessary to utilize such water rights. Such conveyance shall be a prerequisite to provision of water service to the Subj ect Property. Landowner will also contemporaneously provide to the City all information in its possession, or available to it, regarding the historic use of said water rights, including well pumping records, diversion records, irrigation records, aerial photographs, affidavits, and all other available information concerning the use of said water rights. City shall, through the Willow and Herrick Creek Ditch Company or by other means agreeable to both parties, pay its fair share of operating, maintenance, management, professional and legal costs associated with the provision of surface irrigation water to the 20 Acre Parcel through the Willow Creek Ditch and other distribution ditches. 14. Transportation Demand Management. The parties hereto understand that it is the intention of each to develop a project that reduces the use of the automobile. Accordingly, it is the intention of the parties hereto to consider during the land use approval process, certain automobile disincentives programs commonly referred to as Transportation Demand Management systems (TDM's). 15. Green Construction. The construction of residences within the Free Market Component shall comply with or exceed the provisions of any ordinances adopted by City requiring environmentally appropriate construction (also known as "green" construction) techniques, materials and design, that are generally applicable throughout the City to all residential construction, as the same may exist from time to time. D. AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OBLIGATIONS. The City shall assume all obligations and associated costs to develop the Affordable Housing Component of the AHlPUD zone district. The Affordable Housing Component shall be built within the parcel to be conveyed by the Landowner to the City and within an adjacent area of the Burlingame Ranch. The affordable housing to be constructed shall be located in the general area within the acreage as illustrated in Exhibit "B"; the exact location to be determined during final planning and design. The City agrees that the conveyance of the acreage by the Landowner to the City and the City's obligation to improve such land and plat it into lots, fully satisfies all obligations of the Landowner to provide the affordable housing necessary to support its Free Market Component development and that such conveyance and method of satisfying such obligations fully complies with all applicable City housing and land use regulations and Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority regulations. The Affordable Housing Component shall be developed at a density of no greater than 330 units. The parties agree that the City is responsible for constructing the minimum number of affordable housing bedrooms necessary to comply with the requirements of the AH/PUD zone district, based upon the 70/30 bedroom ratio. The City retains the right, in its sole discretion to develop additional units up to the maximum of 330 units, including the required affordable units referred to above. The City's obligation to develop affordable housing units shall include a good faith effort to develop such units on a schedule commensurate with the development of free market units by the Landowner. The City shall receive a Certificate of Occupancy for three (3) affordable housing units at or before the time each free market lot development receives final building inspections, until such time as the City has developed the minimum number of affordable housing required by the AHlPUD zone district. The development of the free market residential lots shall not be delayed or hindered in any way in the event the City fails to develop the affordable housing units in accordance with this Agreement. E. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ON BURLINGAME RANCH. 1. City shall place conservation easements to the benefit of the City and the Aspen Valley Land Trust or other similar organization that prohibit further residential development on all of the Burlingame Ranch east of State Highway 82, except the Development Parcel, Parcel B (the MAA housing project), Parcels C and D (US West and Ventnor Avenue Housing projects) and a 150 foot wide strip or to the toe of the slope (whichever is wider) of the Burlingame Ranch which adjoins highway 82. The conservation easement shall protect open space values and its terms shall be determined during the land use approval process for the Affordable Housing Component. Exhibit B to this Agreement is hereby amended by the exclusion of the Back Bowl from the ''New Conservation Area" shown thereon. 2. Conservation Easements - Additional Beneficiarv. The consent of the owner of the Fathering Parcel shall be required for any amendment to the conservation easements placed on the Burlingame Ranch by the City as contemplated by paragraph 1 E.1 above, which changes the allowed use of the areas as permitted in the conservation easements. Landowner shall be named as a beneficiary ofthese conservation easements in order to exercise such rights. F. DOGS. In order to protect wildlife, ranch cattle, horses and other livestock from harassment, the General Declarations of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions to be imposed on both the Free Market and Affordable Housing Components shall include provisions and penalties that prohibit dog ownership (other than farm dogs belonging to owners or employees of the Fathering Parcel and specially trained service dogs for use by visually impaired persons or persons with other medical needs.) The respective homeowners associations shall be required through appropriate covenants to vigorously enforce these restrictions. No dogs shall be allowed on the cabin site, including dogs belonging to the owners of the Fathering Parcel. G. PARKS AND PLAY FIELDS. City may construct play fields, including without limitation, baseball or soccer fields, within the land conveyed by Landowner to City. The City shall neither include any such fields as part of the City's recreation program nor shall the City schedule any organized activities of the City on these fields. Members of the homeowners association shall convey title to any such fields to the homeowners association of the Affordable Housing Component with appropriate covenants ensuring maintenance and enforcement of regulations for their use. H. JOINT PLANNING OF I!lli PROPERTY. PROPOSED TO BE ANNEXED. The parties recognize that, notwithstanding their understanding regarding the development proposal and potential affordable housing obligations set forth above, additional planning and design will be required before final land use applications can be submitted to the City's Community Development Department. The parties hereto agree to cooperatively and jointly plan and design the development of the Affordable Housing and Free Market Components of the Property Proposed to be Annexed in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the exhibits appended hereto. The parties further agree that they will perform their obligations under this agreement in a timely fashion. a. City's Costs. The City shall be responsible for the cost of filing fees and preparing all documents and applications for the following: i. Pre-annexation Agreement 11. Annexation Petition and Plat. iii. Rezoning Application for initial AH/PUD designations and zoning code amendments. b. Joint Costs. The City and Landowner shall be jointly responsible for the cost of obtaining any site-specific development plan approvals. The City shall be responsible. for those costs directly attributable to the Affordable Housing Component, and Landowner shall be responsible for those costs directly attributable to the Free Market Component, including the Fathering Parcel. Where costs are incurred for items that are attributable to both components and cannot be directly apportioned to one or the other, the costs shall be apportioned on an equal (50150) basis. b.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landowner shall have the right to process its development applications (including all related annexation, rezoning and land use applications) for the Free Market Component, separately from and before the City processes its development applications for the Affordable Housing Component. Provided Landowner satisfies its obligations under the Agreement and this Amendment, City shall promptly complete the land use approval, annexation and rezoning processes and execute and record all approvals and related documents therefor for the Free Market Component in accordance with the Agreement and this Amendment and City shall construct roads and utilities as required by the Agreement, regardless of whether or not the City has completed its development processes for the Affordable Housing Component. Landowner shall not be required to provide detailed engineering design of either potable water (as already agreed in the Water Service Agreement attached hereto at Exhibit F) or sanitary sewer, in its final plat submission, and all final approvals, annexation and establishment of vested rights shall not be delayed as a consequence of this. Sewer service engineered plans shall be prepared in the same manner and according to the same timetable as the potable water service plans described in the Water Service Agreement. The Final Plat shall show areas reserved for future easements to be granted to City for the placement of said utilities. Once the precise, as built, location of said utilities is known, easements shall be granted, twenty-feet in width for deep utilities and ten feet in width for shallow utilities, along their as built location and as specified in the Water Service Agreement (attached as Exhibit F hereto). Areas reserved on the Final Plat for these easements which are larger than these widths shall be vacated. Notwithstanding the separate processing of the Free Market Component from the Affordable Housing Component, Landowner remains interested and affected by the development plan for the Affordable Housing Component. Therefore, Landowner shall be given notice of all meetings, public hearings and work sessions concerning the development plan for the Affordable Housing Component and an opportunity to provide comment on such development plan. .. b.2.

Landowner agrees to prepare and submit for processing such application in a timely and diligent manner. c. Conservation Easements. Areas within the Property Proposed for Annexation and Burlingame Ranch that shall be reserved for conservation easements, including easements on irrigated lands, the Maroon Creek corridor, and portions of Burlingame Ranch are identified on Exhibit "B". . Once the annexation has taken place and the Appeal Period, as defined at Section 20, below has expired, or any other matter which affects the development, having been challenged, the parties agree to execute all requisite easement documents containing terms and conditions which are established during the land use review process for the final development approvals for the Free Market Component. City's consent shall be required for any amendment to these conservation easements, which changes the allowed use of the areas as permitted in the conservation easements. City shall be named as a beneficiary to these conservation easements in order to exercise such rights. d. Public Trails. The parties agree that no public trails shall be required to be dedicated or created within the Property Proposed to be Annexed, except that trails shall be located within the right-of-way of the entry road to the Burlingame Ranch from Stage Road to the Affordable Housing Component. Exhibit "B", appended hereto illustrates the location of all proposed trails. Said trails shall be designed and built in conformance with trail standards established by City's Parks Department for various trail types based on proposed usage, terrain and costs and shall be maintained at City's sole cost and expense. City shall undertake reasonable efforts to create a trail through property previously owned by the Aspen Valley Land Trust, connecting the Burlingame Ranch to the Aspen Airport Business Center.

Cost of roads. utilities and trails. City, at its sole expense, shall construct and install such roads, utilities and trails as are required for the construction of the Affordable Housing Component. Where such utilities shall also serve the Free Market Component they shall be sized to accommodate both. Not later than thirty (30) months (which may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties) after the recording of the final plat map for the Free Market Component, City, at its sole expense, shall have extended roads and utilities to the locations shown on Exhibit D. City shall be reimbursed by Landowner for one-third of Landowner's share of the total installation cost of the particular utilities provided at the time of issuance ofa building permit for the first of the 12 free market lots which applies for a building permit. Landowner shall reimburse City an additional one-third of Landowner's share of the total installation cost of the particular utilities so requested and provided at the time of issuance of a building permit for the second of the 12 free market lots which applies for a building permit. City shall be reimbursed the remaining amount of Landowner's share of the total installation cost of the particular utilities so provided at the time of issuance ofa building permit for the third of the 12 free market lots. Said reimbursement shall be made together with interest at the rate of 8% per annum computed from the date said funds. were advanced by City to the date of reimbursement. In addition, at the same time as reimbursements are required as set forth above (i.e., one-third each at the first, second and third building permits), Landowner shall reimburse for Landowner's share of the cost of installation of utilities provided to the Property to be Annexed which are to be shared by the Affordable Housing Component and the Free Market Component, including the Fathering Parcel, including, without limitation, any redundant looped segments which are constructed for the primary benefit of the Free Market Component and the Affordable Housing Component, based on the ratio of ECUs in the Free Market Component, including the Fathering Parcel, to the ECUs in the Affordable Housing Component. The Water Service Agreement, (Exhibit F), contains estimates of the number ofECU's in the Free Market and Affordable Housing Components. In the event the Cultural Use Area is approved for development, the ECU calculations, any necessary water conveyance from Landowner, and any other water related charges or calculations specified in the Water Service Agreement (Exhibit F) shall be adjusted to account for this additional usage. Adjustments to the initial charge for the Free Market Component shall be made upon final construction of all residences in the Free Market Component. An "ECU" . as defined in the Aspen Municipal Code, is a "unit reflecting that part of the capacity of the [City] water system necessary to serve a standard water customer, with multiples or fractions of the unit including a maximum number and type of water fixtures, a maximum irrigated area, certain cooking facilities, or other water demand factors." Aspen Municipal Code S 25.08.060(e). Shared utility segments are shown on Exhibit D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City and Landowner agree that unless sooner paid according to the terms set forth above, Landowner shall reimburse City for its share of the costs of the particular utilities provided and the costs of the utilities to be shared with the Affordable Housing Component and the Free Market Component as described above, not later than the fifth anniversary of the completion and activation of said utilities, subject to any subsequent adjustments as provided above. f. Access and UtiIitv Easements. The access to the Affordable Housing Component of the Development Plan shall be either across Landowners property as shown on Exhibit B or through a different road alignment westerly of the Soldner property, as shall be determined through the land use review process for the Affordable Housing Component. If the alignment is determined through said process to be as shown on Exhibit B, Landowner shall convey the access road right-of-way easement shown on Exhibit B and an underground utility easement to the City. The right- of-way easement shall be a maximum of sixty (60) feet wide which shall accommodate a road, parallel trail, and a berm with a height of five feet above the adjacent finished grade of the road along the boundary of the Free Market Component, or some other landscape solution mutually acceptable to City and Landowner that is designed through natural landscape design that considers protection of the adj acent agricultural use from traffic impacts. The parties shall endeavor on a best efforts basis during the land use review process to minimize the width of the right-of- way to accommodate the uses proposed in the previous sentence. The final design of the access road and its related components and landscaping shall be developed through the land use approval process. The road shall be built in accordance with any requirements imposed by the Fire Marshal. The easement shall also entitle City to use it to serve property owned by City adjacent to the 20 Acre Parcel and a connection from Stage Road to the Aspen Airport Business Center. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall have the right to establish a pedestrian trail to serve the Affordable Housing Component that is along an alignment extending to the Aspen Airport Business Center that may be used in the future for electric vehicles (including golf cart type vehicles), provided that motorized vehicles are prohibited access to the public streets within the Aspen Airport Business Center from the end of any such trail where the same abuts the Airport Business Center. Notwithstanding the access road shown on Exhibit B to this Agreement, said Exhibit B is not intended to specifY the location of internal roads within the 20 Acre parcel necessary to serve the Affordable Housing Component nor to limit City's ability to extend the roads through the 20 Acre Parcel to serve lands adjacent thereto presently owned by City. 2.

STATE OF COLORADO ) )ss. COUNTY OF PITKIN ) III hislher capacity as Acknowledged before me this 2003, by day of of Notary My commission expires: . EXHIBIT K CALCULATION OF CHANGES IN URBAN INDEX The term "CPI" used herein shall refer to the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers (CPI-D), U.S. City Average, All Items (1967 = 100) compiled by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. By way of identification, the parties agree that the CPI-U index number for July 1993 = 432.6. If at the time of computation of CPI increases as provided below the Urban Index as defined is not then being currently published, the parties shall mutUally select a substitute index which has historically approximated the Urban Index as defined. The base month and year for computing changes in the CPI where required under the terms of this Agreement shall be the month and year in which the Final Plat for the Free Market Component is recorded. The parties further agree that the methodology they will use for calculating index changes in the Urban Index is that described in the instruction sheet from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, which reads as follows: CALCULATING INDEX CHANGES Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month period are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period. INDEX POINT CHANGE CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 315.5 303.5 12.0 PERCENT CHANGE Index Point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 12.0 303.5 0.040 0.040 x 100 4.0 JPW M 12/08/03Mpreannex-restate-11-13-03c1ean(hkl_120403F2).v..pd ,,,~;;'iit;;,/>,,,::~~, '".)
