improvements and perform all other obligations required herein, as such improvements or
obligations may be shown on the Final Development Plan Documents, or any documents

processing and "routing for approval" of the various development plan documents may
result in certain of said documents carrying dates of approval and/or execution that are
later than the date of execution of this Development Agreement or the Memorandum Of
Agreement (if any) recorded to give record notice of this Agreement. The developer
hereby waives any right to object to any such discrepancy in dates.
E. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver of any requirements
of the City Code, Land Use Code, or Transitional Land Use Regulations (as applicable)
and the Developer agrees to comply with all requirements of the same.
F. In the event the City waives any breach of this Agreement, no such waiver
shall be held or construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach hereof.

of any portion of the Developer's legal or equitable interest in the Property, as well as any
assignment of the Developer's rights to develop the Property under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

divested of all equitable and legal interest in the Property, the Developer shall be released
from liability under this Agreement with respect to any breach of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement occurring after the date of any such transfer of interest. In such event,
the succeeding property owner shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
J. Each and every term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a material
element hereof. In the event that either party shall fail to perform according to the terms
of this Agreement, such party may be declared in default. In the event that a party has
been declared in default hereof, such defaulting party shall be given written notice
specifying such default and shall be allowed a period of ten (10) days within which to cure
said default. In the event the default remains uncorrected, the party declaring default may
elect to: (a) terminate the Agreement and seek damages; (b) treat the Agreement as
continuing and require specific performance or; (c) avail itself of any other remedy at law
or equity.
11
K. In the event of the default of any of the provisions hereof by either party
which shall require the party not in default to commence legal or equitable action against
said defaulting party, the defaulting party shall be liable to the non -defaulting party for the
non -defaulting party's reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by reason of the
default. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent or interfere with the City's rights and
remedies specified in Paragraph III.D of this Agreement.

not be construed as or deemed to be an agreement for the benefit of any third party or
parties, and no third party or parties shall have any right of action hereunder for any cause

obtain a complete discharge of all City liability through such settlement. Failure of the City
to give notice of any such claim to the Developer within ninety (90) days after the City first
receives a notice of such claim under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act for the
same, shall cause! this indemnity and hold harmless agreement by the Developer to not
apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute a release of this indemnity and hold
harmless agreement as to such claim. Approval of and acceptance by the City of any
storm drainage facility design or construction shall in no manner be deemed to constitute
a waiver or relinquishment by the City of the aforesaid indemnification. The Developer
shall engage a Colorado licensed professional engineer to design the storm drainage
facilities as aforesaid and it is expressly affirmed hereby that such engagement shall be
intended for the benefit of the City, and subsequent purchasers of property in the
Development.

portions of the Property dedicated (both in fee simple and as easements) to the City
associated with this Development are in compliance with all environmental protection and
anti -pollution laws, rules, regulations, orders or requirements, including solid waste
requirements, as defined by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Regulations at 40
C.F.R., Part 261, and that such portions of the Property as are dedicated to the City
pursuant to this Development, are in compliance with all such requirements pertaining to
the disposal or existence in or on such dedicated property of any hazardous substances,
pollutants or contaminants, as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The Developer, for itself and its successor(s) in interest, does hereby
indemnify and hold harmless the City from any liability whatsoever that may be imposed
upon the City by any governmental authority or any third party, pertaining to the disposal
of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants, and cleanup necessitated by leaking
underground storage tanks, excavation and/or backfill of hazardous substances, pollutants
or contaminants, or environmental cleanup responsibilities of any nature whatsoever on,
of, or related to any property dedicated to the City in connection with this Development,
provided that such damages or liability are not caused by circumstances arising entirely
after the date of acceptance by the City of the public improvements constructed on the
dedicated property, except to the extent that such circumstances are the result of acts or
omissions of the Developer. Said indemnification shall not extend to claims, actions or
other liability arising as a result of any hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant
generated or deposited by the City, its agents or representatives, upon portions of the
Property dedicated to the City in connection with this Development. The City agrees to give
notice to the Developer of any claim made against it to which this indemnity and hold
harmless agreement by the Developer could apply, and the Developer shall have the right
to defend any lawsuit based on such claim and to settle any such claim provided Developer

City to give notice of any such claim to the Developer within ninety (90) days after the City
first receives a notice of such claim under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act for the
same, shall cause this indemnity and hold harmless agreement by the Developer to not
apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute a release of this indemnity and hold
harmless agreement as to such claim.

provisions of that certain Reimbursement Agreement dated December 6, 1995,
between the City and Deines Lumber Co. and Seier Construction Inc., in accordance
with Section 26-372 of the City Code. Pursuant to that certain Non -Exclusive Easement
Agreement by and between the Developer as grantor, and Joseph S. Shrader, as
grantee, for the benefit of Deines Lumbers' Cobblestone Corners P.U.D., the Developer
believes that Deines Lumber Co. has waived any claim for reimbursement from the

has verbally agreed to waive any claim it may have against the Developer under that
Reimbursement Agreement. Accordingly, it is not anticipated that the Developer shall
have ongoing reimbursement obligations under that Reimbursement Agreement.
However, in the event that either Deines Lumber Co. or Seier Construction, Inc.,
asserts a claim for reimbursement associated with the Developer or Westbrooke
P.U.D., 2"d Filing, under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Developer agrees that it
shall be solely responsible for the final resolution of that claim, either by paying or by
successfully defeating said claim. The Developer agrees to indemnify the City for any
reimbursement amount that may be attributable to the Developer or Westbrooke
P.U.D., 2"d Filing, in the future under the Reimbursement Agreement. Such
indemnification shall also include and cover any and all costs and reasonable attorney's
fees that the City may incur in any litigation with the beneficiaries of the Reimbursement
Agreement, Deines Lumber Co. or Seier Construction Inc., or their successors or
assigns, concerning this reimbursement issue.
2. In accordance with Section 26-372 of the City Code, the Mountain Ridge
Farm P.U.D. 3`d Filing developer may request a reimbursement agreement for the 12
inch water main which such developer is replacing in Troutman Parkway. If this occurs,
the Developer agrees to reimburse the City for the Developer's share of that cost as
calculated in accordance with City policy for implementing section 26-372 of the City
Code.

and maintenance of the erosion control measures shown on the Final Development Plan
Documents. Said security deposit(s) shall be made in accordance with the criteria set forth
in the City's Storm Drainage Design Criteria and Construction Standards (Criteria). If, at
any time, the Developer fails to abide by the provisions of the Final Development Plan
Documents or the Criteria, notwithstanding any provisions contained in paragraph III(J) to
the contrary, the City may enter upon the Property for the purpose of making such
improvements and undertaking such activities as may be necessary to ensure that the
provisions of said plans and the Criteria are properly enforced. The City may apply such

indirectly by the construction, establishment, maintenance or operation of the
