PARTIES. The parties to this Agreement are the ST. VRAIN SANITATION DISTRICT ("District") and California Homes LLC ("Applicant"). 2. RECITALS AND PURPOSE. District is a Title 32 sanitation district organized and existing pursuant to state statutes. Applicant owns property or development projects within the District's potential service area and desires to receive sanitary sewer service from the District for such property or projects. Such service requires the extension of certain lines and the construction of off-site improvements. Applicant and other property or project owners have agreed to contribute a portion of the total cost of such extension and improvements. Because the extension line to be constructed at Applicant's cost and expense will have additional capacity to service other properties in the future, District may sell additional sanitary sewer taps to new customers which would be serviced from these newly constructed lines and improvements. Accordingly, District agrees to refund Applicant's paid contribution towards the costs and expenses incurred in the line extensions and improvements. Such reimbursements will be paid on a yearly basis dependent upon collection by District of a Line Reimbursement Fee surcharge imposed on tap fees assessed by the District for all taps to be serviced from the newly constructed lines and improvements. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions of the payment of the construction costs and of such Line Reimbursement Fee. 3. NORTH TRUNK EXTENSION: DESCRIPTION OF AFFECTED AREA. The properties which may potentially be serviced by District from this new line extension lie within the following area: Sections 22, 25, 26, 27, 35 and 36 , T 3N , R 68W, and Sections 19, 30, and 31, T3N, R 67W, located in Weld County, Colorado. Such properties shall be referred to as "Affected Area." 4. TERM.

The trunk line and improvements which are subject to this Agreement are as described and shown on the conceptual preliminary design attached hereto as Exhibit A which is incorporated herein by reference. For purposes of this Agreement, such extension is referred to as the North Trunk Extension (herein. "Extension'). District represents to Applicant that it has obtained a completed preliminary' design for such Extension. 6. PAYMENT OF SHARE OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS. Within 15 business days of the execution of this Agreement (but in any event prior to the execution by the District of the construction contract for the Extension) Applicant shall deposit with the District the sum of 529,259 (representing a contribution of $31.393 less 52.134 previously paid to District) for deposit into District's Account No.84-1 02803 0-1 0 at Colorado Surplus Asset Fund Trust, which account has been established by District solely for the payment of construction costs EXHIBIT and related expenses of this Extension. This amount represents the Applicant's share of the total estimated costs and expenses, as determined and agreed upon by Applicant and other property owners/developers who are also contributing to this Extension. In the event that the Extension project is cancelled by the District's Board of Directors, or in the event that construction does not commence on or before June 1. 2001, the District shall refund to Applicant its pro-rata share of any funds remaining on deposit in said account., (the share refunded being based upon the ratio that Applicant's contribution bears to the total sum of contributions received by the District from other owners or developers). 7. LINE REIMBURSEMENT FEE. The parties agree that the Line Participation Fee for this Extension shall be $473 per sanitary sewer tap (defined as one single family equivalency, or "SEE") based upon various factors, including without limitation, the projected capacity of the drainage basin to be serviced by this Extension, as calculated by the District on a "per section basis" utilizing current and projected development plans, land use zoning, and other limiting factors available to the District. 8. COLLECTION OF LINE REIMBURSEMENT FEE. 8.1 For all taps (single family equivalencies), issued by the District within the Affected Area and which will be serviced by connection to this Extension, the District will collect a Line Reimbursement Fee in the amount of$475.00 per SFE in addition to its regular fees and charges. The Applicant acknowledges that there may be certain properties within the Affected Area that may best be served by lines other than the Extension and nothing herein shall be construed as imposing any requirement on the District to require all properties to utilize the Extension. 8.2 District shall collect the Line Reimbursement Fee as follows: (1) in the event of a developer, upon execution by the District of a Service Agreement with such developer, or within 30 days of approval of final plat approval of the project, whichever is earlier, for all of the taps committed to the subdivision or project; or (2) in the event of non- developer tap purchasers, upon payment to the District by such person or entity of the tap fee or fees. 8.3 The Applicant expressly acknowledges that the District's obligation to collect and pay a Line Reimbursement Fee, and interest, if any, shall expire either upon collection and payment to Applicant of its contribution of 531,393 or upon fifteen years from the date of the issuance of the District's certificate of acceptance of the Extension, regardless of whether any additional tap or taps have been sold within the Affected Area, whichever occurs first. Applicant understands and agrees that, by entering into this Agreement, the District makes no representations or warranties that any or all of the projected tap capacity and/or taps will be issued by the District prior to the expiration date, and that the sale and issuance of taps is dependent upon the District's then existing treatment capacity and compliance with policies, rules and regulations, and orders and directives issued by applicable regulatory agencies which have jurisdiction over District's sewage treatment and effluent discharge. .

Leffler Design Development Consultant 2627 Redwing Road, Suite 350 Fort Collins , CO 80526 Dear Mr . Leffler : This letter is in response to your request for a water service commitment for up to 20 commercial / industrial lots , in the proposed subdivision described as follows : PORTIONS OF SEC . 35, T3N, R68W - - WELD COUNTY, CO Del Cameno Business Park ( Benjamen Court) The District provides water service within its service area as defined by the District . The provision of water service by extension of existing water lines of the District to the above property and the installation of taps for lots is done under the terms of the Rules and Regulations of the District established by the Board of the District from time to time . You may obtain a copy of the Rules and Regulations from the District . This letter outlines the provisions of the Rules and Regulations, however this letter does not change any provisions of the Rules and Regulations . The Board of the District may alter and amend the Rules and Regulations at any time, and the provisions of this letter are subject to alteration and amendment based on changes in the Rules and Regulations of the District . We currently have a 24 " diameter water line located along the I-25 Frontage Road at WCR 38 with additional capacity available . We can commit to provide service to the above property, subject to the limitations in this letter, for one standard 5/8" X 3/4 " water tap per lot ; and the following additional limitations on the provision of water service are : 1 . In August of 1993 the Little Thompson Board implemented a "system impact" fee of $1050 per lot for all lots to be added to the system. This is due upon completion of the main line extension agreement . EXHIBIT ) I 2 . All improvements to District facilities required to provide service will be the financial responsibility of the developer in accordance with the District Rules and Regulations . All improvements must conform to District Specifications . 3 . Little Thompson Water District requires the transfer of one share of Colorado Big Thompson water for each lot in the commitment and then to pay for the rest of the tap fee as the water lines are put in service . The developer then has the taps to sell with the lots at the price that he sets . 4 . If a fire hydrant is required for the subdivision there is a $2 , 000 fire hydrant fee that needs to be paid prior to installation of the fire hydrant . You will be responsible for any improvements needed to meet the required fire flows in your subdivision. 5 . You will be required to provide the needed water lines in the proposed subdivision . 6 . The design, installation and total cost of the project will be the responsibility of the developer . 7 . In order to provide service to the proposed business park you will be required to install a 16 inch diameter water line connecting the existing 18 inch diameter water line located WCR 9 IA and WCR 28 to your subdivision .
