NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF the foregoing and of the acceptance and approval of said final plat, the parties hereto promise, covenant and agree as follows: 1.0 Engineering Services: Applicant shall furnish, at its own expense, all engineering services in connection with the design and construction of the subdivision improvements listed on Exhibit "A" which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference. 1.1 The required engineering services shall be performed by a Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor registered in the State of Colorado, and shall conform to the standards and criteria established by the County for public improvements. 1.2 The required engineering services shall consist of, but not be limited to, surveys, designs, plans and profiles, estimates, construction supervision, and the submission of necessary documents to the County. 1.3 Applicant shall furnish drawings and cost estimates for roads within the subdivision to the County for approval prior to the letting of any construction contract. Before acceptance of the roads within the subdivision by the County, Applicant shall furnish one set of reproducible "as-built" drawings and a final statement of construction cost to the County. 2.0 Rights-of-Way and Easements: Before commencing the construction of any improvements herein agreed upon, Applicant shall acquire, at its own expense, good and sufficient rights-of-way and easements on all lands and facilities traversed by the proposed improvements.

Whenever a subdivision is proposed within three miles of an incorporated community located in Weld County or located in any adjacent county, the Applicant shall be required to install improvements in accordance with the requirements and standards that would exist if the plat were developed within the corporate limits of that community. If the incorporated community has not adopted such requirements and standards at the time the subdivision is proposed, the requirements and standards of the County shall be adhered to. If both the -2- incorporated community and the County have requirements and standards, those requirements and standards that are more restrictive shall apply. 3.2 Applicant shall employ, at its own expense, a qualified testing company previously approved by the County to perform all testing of materials or construction that is required by the County; and shall furnish copies of test results to the County. 3.3 At all times during said construction, the County shall have the right to test and inspect or to require testing and inspection of material and work at Applicant's expense.

All contractors and other employees engaged in construction of the improvements shall maintain adequate workman's compensation insurance and -3- /, public liability insurance coverage, and shall operate in strict accordance with the laws and regulations of the State of Colorado governing occupational safety and health. 5.0 Acceptance of Streets for Maintenance by the County: Upon compliance with the following procedures by the Applicant, streets within a subdivision may be accepted by the County as a part of the County road system and will be maintained and repaired by the County. 5. 1 If desired by the County, portions of street improvements may be placed in service when completed according to the schedule shown on Exhibit "B", but such use and operation shall not constitute an acceptance of said portions. 5.2 County may, at its option, issue building permits for construction on lots for which street improvements detailed herein have been started but not completed as shown on Exhibit "B", and may continue to issue building permits so long as the progress of work on the subdivision improvements in that phase of the development is satisfactory to the County; and all terms of this Agreement have been faithfully kept by Applicant. 5.3 Upon completion of the construction of streets within a subdivision and the filing of a Statement of Substantial Compliance, the applicant(s) may request in writing that the County Engineer inspect its streets and recommend that the Board of County Commissioners accept them for partial maintenance by the County. Partial maintenance consists of all maintenance except for actual repair of streets, curbs and gutters, and related street improvements. Not sooner than nine months after acceptance for partial maintenance of streets, the County Engineer shall, upon request by the applicant, inspect the subject streets, and notify the applicant(s) of any deficiencies. The County Engineer shall re-inspect the streets after notification from the applicant(s) that any deficiencies have been corrected. If the County Engineer finds that the streets are constructed according to County standards, he shall recommend acceptance of streets for full maintenance. Upon a receipt of a positive unqualified recommendation from the County Engineer for acceptance of streets within the development, the Board of County Commissioners shall accept said streets as public facilities and County property, and shall be responsible for the full maintenance of said streets including repair. -4- - - „ .,, 6.0 General Requirements for Collateral: 6. 1 The value of all collateral submitted to Weld County must be equivalent to 100% of the value of the improvements as shown in this Agreement. Prior to Final Plat approval, the applicant shall indicate which of the five types of collateral he prefers to be utilized to secure the improvements subject to final approval by the Board of County Commissioners and the execution of this Agreement. Acceptable collateral shall be submitted and the plat recorded within six months of the Final Plat approval. If acceptable collateral has not been submitted within six months then the Final Plat approval and all preliminary approvals shall automatically expire. An applicant may request that the County extend the Final Plat approval provided the cost estimates are updated and the development plans are revised to comply with all current County standards, policies and regulations. The improvements shall be completed within one year after the Final Plat approval (not one year after acceptable collateral is submitted) unless the applicant(s) requests that this Agreement be renewed at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration and further provides that cost estimates for the remaining improvements are updated and collateral is provided in the amount of 100% of the value of the improvements remaining to be completed. If improvements are not completed and the agreement not renewed within these time frames, the County, at its discretion, may make demand on all or a portion of the collateral and take steps to see that the improvements are made. 6.2 The applicant may choose to provide for a phased development by means of designating portions of a Planned Unit Development, Subdivision, or Change of Zone, that the applicant wishes to develop. The applicant would need only to provide collateral for the improvements in each portion of said Planned Unit Development, Subdivision, or Change of Zone as he proposes to develop them; the County will place restrictions on those portions of the Planned Unit Development, Subdivision, or Change of Zone, which are not covered by collateral which will prohibit the conveyance of the property or the issuance of building permits on said portions until collateral is provided for those portions or until improvements are in place and approved pursuant to the requirements for a Request for Release of Collateral. _S_ 6.3 Applicant intends to develop in ^i1' phase(s) in accordance with Exhibits "A" and "B". 7.0 Improvements Guarantee: The five types of collateral listed below are acceptable to Weld County subject to final approval by the Board of County Commissioners. 7. 1 An irrevocable Letter of Credit from a Federal or State licensed financial institution on a form approved by Weld County.

In no case shall disbursement for a general improvement item exceed the cost estimate in the Improvements Agreement (i.e. , streets, sewers, water mains and landscaping, etc.) . The issuer of the Letter of Credit will sign the Improvements Agreement acknowledging the agreement and its cost estimates. - The Letter of Credit shall specify that 15% of the total Letter of Credit amount cannot be drawn upon and will remain available to Weld County until released by Weld County. - The Letter of Credit shall specify that the date of proposed expiration of the Letter of Credit shall be either the date of release by Weld County of the final 15%, or one year from the date of Final Plat approval, whichever occurs first.
