The Order,which will remain in effect until a full trial on the merits of the case, provides that those individuals will be permit holders and follow the rules of the reservoir. The basis for commencing the violation was not that there were specific incidents of misconduct but rather that there was a question whether those individuals were permittees and were aware of the rules. The application represented only permittees would be allowed to use the facility in accordance with the rules of the reservoir. Because the Court Order appears to resolve the issue of use of the facility at this time, Planning and legal staff recommend that the probable cause proceeding be dismissed without prejudice at this time.

More specifically, your letter references persons using the facility who do not hold an annual permit and/or who have not been found capable of safe and compatible conduct at a lake and water sports facility. Please be advised that on the same day I received a copy of your letter to Mr. Eckel, I wrote a letter to John Barry,counsel for Plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Windsor Shores,who have stated under oath that, as reservoir users, they are not permit holders or licensees and are not subject to Windsor Shores' rules and regulations. We provided him a copy of your letter of August 18, 1998. In my letter, we specifically demanded that Mr. Barry's clients immediately sign and deliver to us sworn statements indicating that their status as users of the reservoir is as permit holders and/or licensees, and reciting their agreement to be bound by the applicable rules and regulations in place at Big Windsor Reservoir. Mr. Barry has advised us in writing that his clients refuse to sign or deliver any statements reflecting that their status as users of the reservoir is as permit holders and/or licensees, or that they are bound by the rules and regulations promulgated by Windsor Shores for use of the reservoir. In light of that refusal and the fact that it potentially places Windsor Shores in the position of loss of its Use by Special Review, we have filed a motion with the court to amend our counterclaim against the Plaintiffs asserting that they are in breach of contract, namely that they have breached the terms of their License Agreements which they signed in 1991, where they acknowledged their status as licensees and agreed to be bound by the rules and regulations. Additionally,we have asked the court G:\CLIENT\5114\FRAZER LTR.WPD PD ALEXANDER&CRAMER P.C.

A copy of our motion to amend our counterclaim and the proposed Amended Counterclaim, without attachments, are enclosed for your review. We will continue to keep you updated and apprised of developments in this regard.

During the deposition of various Plaintiffs, they surprisingly testified, inter alia, under oath that they were not permit holders or licensees in order to use the Big Windsor Reservoir, and Plaintiffs further testified they were not subject to the rules and regulations published by Windsor Shores, Inc. for use of the reservoir. 4. The lease entered into between Windsor Shores, Inc., as lessee, and Windsor Reservoir & Canal Company, as lessor(the "I past"), provides, inter alia, at paragraph 16 that only permit holders may use the reservoir.

Paragraph 20(b) of the lease provides that in the event of a breach of the lease, the lessor may terminate the lease, retain all rent paid, recover its costs and damages, and in addition recover $10,000 of liquidated damages. 5. On or about August 12, 1998, Windsor Shores, Inc. received a letter from legal counsel for the lessor indicating that they were aware that users at the reservoir were claiming they were not permit holders or licensees in order to use the reservoir and not subject to the rules and regulations. They expressed further concern about ongoing non-compliance with the rules and regulations of the reservoir and declared that such violations could result in termination of the lease. The letter imposed a deadline for Windsor Shores to advise the lessor of steps being taken to remediate the problem. 6. By letter dated August 13, 1998, counsel for Windsor Shores provided Plaintiffs' counsel with a copy of the lessor's counsel's letter and demanded that the Plaintiffs acknowledge their status as permitees and license holders and their agreement to be bound by the applicable rules and regulations, and failing same Windsor Shores would take all steps necessary to protect its lease and the interests of the licensees, the lessee and its shareholders. Plaintiffs have refused to comply with.the demand. 7. On August 18, 1998, the Department of Planning Services for Weld County, Colorado, mailed a letter to Larry B. Eckel, as President of Windsor Shores, Inc., providing notice that on September 30, 1998 at 9:00 a.m., the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County will hold a public hearing to determine if probable cause exists to hold a hearing on revocation of Windsor Shores' Use by Special Review, USR-943. 8. The Weld County letter further indicates that inspection by representatives of the Department of Planning Services has identified non-compliance with permit application materials, namely that persons are using the facility who do not hold an annual permit and/or who have not been found capable of safe and compatible conduct at a lake and water sports facility. The letter closes by stating that if there is probable cause to determine non-compliance, the Board of County Commissioners will schedule a show cause public hearing to consider revocation of Windsor Shores' Use by Special Review Permit. 9. On August 18, 1998, counsel for Windsor Shores provided Plaintiffs' counsel with a copy of Weld County's letter and again demanded that Plaintiffs acknowledge their status as permitees and license holders and their agreement to be bound by the applicable rules and regulations, and that if failing same, Windsor Shores would take all steps necessary to protect its permit in the interest of Windsor Shores, licensees and shareholders. Plaintiffs have stated through counsel that they refuse to comply with the demand. G:ICLIENT5I 141AMEND COUNTERCLAIM.WPD 2 • 10.

Defendant Windsor Recreational Enterprises, Ltd., d/b/a Windsor Shores ("Windsor Shores"), by its counsel, Alexander & Crabtree, P.C., for a Verified Amended Counterclaim against Plaintiffs, states and avers as follows: 1. Windsor Shores is a Colorado corporation with its principal offices in Boulder County, Colorado. 2. Plaintiffs are parties to License Agreements between them and Windsor Shores, the licenser. True and correct copies of the License Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-5. Pursuant to the License Agreements, Plaintiffs were permitted, inter alia, to have the right and privilege of using, subject to its terms and conditions, and the regulations of Windsor Shores, the space and facilities at the Big Windsor Reservoir. 3. Plaintiffs are owners of stock of Windsor Recreational Enterprises, Ltd. and are parties to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Shareholder's Agreement of Windsor Recreational Enterprises, Ltd., both dated October 15, 1991. A true and correct copy the Stock Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B. A true and correct copy of the Shareholder's Agreement of Windsor Recreational Enterprises, Ltd. is attached hereto as Exhibit C. G:\CLIENTS 114\AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM.W PD 4. Windsor Shores initially leased the Big Windsor Reservoir from Windsor Reservoir and Canal Company for the period of time 1990 through December 31, 1997, with a one (1) time option to renew the lease for another five (5) years. A true and correct copy of the Big Windsor lease ("T pace") is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Windsor Shores, pursuant to a notice to exercise an option to renew the J pace, extended the J Pace with Windsor Reservoir and Canal Company through and including December 31, 2002. 5. In approximately February, 1991, Larry B. Eckel, as President of Windsor Shores, Inc., filed an Application for Use by Special Review for a private recreational facility at the Windsor Reservoir, also known as Big Windsor. As part and parcel of that Application, Wmdsor Shores submitted various required documentation including the proposed use,site plan, rules and regulations, building elevations and other documentation. 6. After numerous public hearings before the Weld County Board of County Commissioners, the Board approved the request of Windsor Shores for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a private recreational facility. A copy of the text portion of the Site Specific Development Plan as recorded with the Clerk and Recorder of Weld County is attached hereto as Exhibit E. 7. Windsor Shores provides a total of approximately one hundred (100) spaces to be licensed to users at the Big Windsor Reservoir. In order to use and/or occupy space at the Big Windsor Reservoir, users are required to enter into a license agreement with Windsor Shores. 8. During the period of time from 1992 through August, 1998, all licensees for the space and use of the Big Windsor Reservoir, with the exception of these Plaintiffs, paid a'license fee, which fee ranged from $750 to $1,500/year from 1991-1997, and from $800-$1,600 in 1998 under a schedule of fees for annual use of the premises. 9. In March, 1998, Plaintiffs, as shareholders of Windsor Shores, were given proper advance notice of the annual shareholders meeting. 10. At the Windsor Shores' shareholders meeting in March, 1998, the Board of Directors was elected. At the Board of Directors meeting, a resolution was duly made, seconded and passed to assess a license fee on all users, including shareholders and reservoir company employees, for the privilege to use Big Windsor Reservoir. 11. Pursuant to the board resolution, in March, 1998, Windsor Shores, through its President, Larry Eckel, notified Plaintiffs of their obligation to pay a license fee to occupy and use Big Windsor Reservoir. G:\CLENIn5114\AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM.WPD 2 12. Despite promises to pay the license fees and representations that the fees would be sent by mail, none of the Plaintiffs paid the license fee for the privilege to use the Big Windsor Reservoir for the year 1998. 13. Instead of making payment, Plaintiffs,by and through their counsel, filed a lawsuit against Larry B. Eckel as an officer and director of Windsor Shores and against Windsor Shores seeking, inter alia, a preliminary and permanent injunction, an order for inspection of corporate records and a decree setting aside certain distributions and loans. 14. At all times relevant to these allegations, Larry B. Eckel was acting in his capacity as an officer and director of Windsor Shores. 15. On June 23 and June 25, 1998, counsel for Defendant Windsor Shores took the depositions of Plaintiffs Keith Taylor, Larry Howerter, Michael Ducker, Carolyn Taylor, Kenneth Boglino, Darrell Taylor and Douglas Bader in this action. During the depositions of various Plaintiffs, they surprisingly testified under oath, inter alia, that they were not permit holders or licensees in order to use the Big Windsor Reservoir and that they did not believe themselves to be subject to the rules and regulations published by Windsor Shores for use of the reservoir. 16. The I pace provides, inter alia, at paragraph 16 that only permit holders may use the reservoir. Paragraph 14 of the I ease provides, inter alia, that Windsor Shores shall pass rules and regulations applicable to permit holders of the reservoir. Paragraph 20(b) of the lease provides that in the event of a breach of the lease, the lessor may terminate the Lease, retain all rent paid, recover its costs and damages, and in addition recover$10,000 of liquidated damages. 17. On or about August 12, 1998, Windsor Shores, Inc. received a letter from legal counsel for the lessor, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F indicating, inter alia, that they were aware that users at the reservoir were claiming they were not permit holders or licensees in order to use the reservoir and not subject to Windsor Shores' rules and regulations. The letter expressed further concern about ongoing non-compliance with the rules and regulations of the reservoir and declared that such violations could result in termination of the lease. The letter imposed a deadline for Windsor Shores to advise the lessor of steps being taken to remediate the problem. 18. By letter dated August 13, 1998, counsel for Windsor Shores provided Plaintiffs' counsel with a copy of the lessor's counsel's letter and demanded that the Plaintiffs acknowledge their status as permitees and license holders and their agreement to be bound by the applicable rules and regulations, and failing same Windsor Shores would take all steps necessary to protect its lease and the interests of the licensees, the lessee and its shareholders. Plaintiffs' counsel responded by letter dated August 18, 1998, reciting that Plaintiffs refused to comply with the demands of the August 13, 1998 letter. G:\CLIENT\5114\AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM.WPD 3 19. On August 18, 1998, the Department of Planning Services for Weld County, Colorado, mailed a letter to Larry B. Eckel, as President of Windsor Shores, Inc., providing notice that on September 30, 1998 at 9:00 a.m., the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County will hold a public hearing to determine if probable cause exists to hold a hearing on revocation of Windsor Shores' Use by Special Review, USR-943. A true and correct copy of that letter is attached hereto as Exhibit G. 20. The Weld County letter further indicates that inspection by representatives of the Department of Planning Services has identified non-compliance with permit application materials, namely that persons are using the facility who do not hold an annual permit and/or who have not been found capable of safe and compatible conduct at a lake and water sports facility. The letter closes by stating that if there is probable cause to determine non-compliance, the Board of.County Commissioners will schedule a show cause public hearing to consider revocation of Windsor Shores' Use by Special Review Permit. 21. On August 18, 1998, counsel for Windsor Shores provided Plaintiffs' counsel with a copy of Weld County's letter and again demanded that Plaintiffs acknowledge their status as permitees and license holders and their agreement to be bound by the applicable rules and regulations, and that if failing same, Windsor Shores would take all steps necessary to protect its permit in the interest of Windsor Shores, licensees and shareholders. Plaintiffs have stated through counsel that they refuse to comply with the demand. FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Indemnification) 22. Windsor Shores incorporates paragraphs 1 through 21 of the Verified Amended Counterclaim above as if fully set forth herein. 23. Pursuant to the license agreement, Plaintiffs agreed to indemnify Windsor Shores against all actions, claims, demands, liabilities and damages, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees expended which may be imposed upon or incurred by Windsor Shores as a consequence of or arising out of the use of the licensed premises by the licensee, its family, employees or guests. 24. As a direct result of Plaintiffs' use of the licensed premises, Plaintiffs have maintained this action against Windsor Shores which has caused Windsor Shores to be exposed to claims, demands, liabilities and damages as well as attorneys' fees from the maintenance of this action for which licensees agreed to indemnify Windsor Shores. G:\CUENTl5114\AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM.WPD 4 25. As a direct result of Plaintiffs' use of the premises, Windsor Shores has been exposed to claims, liabilities and damages as evidenced by the letters from the lessor, Windsor Reservoir & Canal Company, and Weld County. 26. Windsor Shores is entitled to recover reimbursement from Plaintiffs for alt liabilities, damages, attorneys' fees or other costs incurred by it as a result of the maintenance by the Plaintiffs of the within litigation, any action by Windsor Reservoir & Canal Company to terminate the Inv., and proceedings by Weld County to revoke the permit. SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Declaratory Judgment) 27. Windsor Shores incorporates paragraphs 1 through 26 of the Verified Amended Counterclaim above as if fully set forth herein. 28. Plaintiffs were, at best, licensees pursuant to License Agreements entered into between the Plaintiffs and Windsor Shores for the privilege of using the Big Windsor Reservoir. True and correct copies of the License Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-5 and incorporated herein. 29. Under the license agreement, Windsor Shores reserved the right to terminate the permission granted under the license agreement at any time without notice to the licensee. The license agreement further stated that in the event Windsor Shores terminated permission given thereunder, for any reason, Windsor Shores agreed to refund the license fee to the licensee based upon fifty percent(50%) of the prorated fees for the unused term. Plaintiffs, as licensees, further acknowledged that Windsor Shores reserved the right to revoke the license at any time and indicated that they had read, understood and agreed to abide by all responsibilities contained in the license agreement. 30. In March, 1998, after these Plaintiffs refused to pay their license fees, Windsor Shores attempted to revoke their license to use the subject property. Plaintiffs refused to acknowledge and honor the revocation disputing the authority of Windsor Shores to revoke their license, and proceeded to Court to obtain an injunction and mandatory injunctive relief to allow them to remain on the subject premises without any obligation to ever pay any fee related thereto. At the close of the preliminary injunction hearing on April 6, 1998, the Court found that Plaintiffs were "members from 1991 through 1997. . . . the fact that they didn't pay a fee does not make them non-members . . . By the Defendants' own testimony, and the lease with the Reservoir Company, only members could use the facility. So I think it's pretty clear that they [Plaintiffs] were treated and considered as members for all those years." Plaintiffs now claim that they are not licensees or permit holders and not subject to the rules and regulations governing use of the reservoir facility. G:\CLIENR$114\AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM.wPD 5. 31. On or about October 15, 1991, when Plaintiffs purchased their stock in Windsor Shores, they entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and a Shareholder's Agreement of Windsor Recreational Enterprises, Ltd. A true and correct copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein. A true and correct copy of the Shareholder's Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein. 32. The Stock Purchase Agreement clearly sets forth the sole consideration for the payment of$4,000 by the Plaintiffs as being the issuance of stock of Windsor Shores. The Stock Purchase Agreement executed by the Plaintiffs states at paragraph 7, "This Agreement and the Shareholder's Agreement executed simultaneously herewith constitute the entire agreement between the Corporation and the Stockholders and they may not be modified or terminated except in writing signed by all parties hereto." 33. Notwithstanding the clear and specific terms of the Shareholder's Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, Plaintiffs now claim that in return for their purchase of stock in Windsor Recreational Enterprises, Ltd., they acquired something more than stock of Windsor, including, but not limited to, a perpetual right, without any obligation to pay a license fee, to occupy and use the Big Windsor Reservoir. 34. A dispute has arisen between the parties concerning the rights and responsibilities under the various written agreements. Windsor Shores seeks a declaration of the rights of the parties pursuant to the License Agreements, the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Shareholder's Agreement of Windsor Recreational Enterprises, Ltd., and Plaintiffs' entitlement to continued use of the reservoir if they are not licensees or permit holders. THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Quantum Meruit) 35. Windsor Shores incorporates paragraphs 1 through 34 of the Verified Amended Counterclaim above as if fully set forth herein. 36. In the event it is determined there is no written agreement between the parties regarding the use and occupation of the subject properties, Windsor Shores has permitted Plaintiffs to occupy and use the subject premises at Big Windsor Reservoir with the reasonable expectation that it would be paid the value for such use. 37. Plaintiffs accepted the continued privilege of the use of the subject space and facilities at Big Windsor Reservoir expecting to pay for them, or under such circumstances that they knew as a reasonable person that Windsor Shores expected to be paid, or under such circumstances that it would be inequitable for Plaintiffs to retain the benefit without payment for its value. C:\CLIEN 15114\AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM.wPD 6 38. The reasonable value of the privilege to use and occupy the subject premises at Big Windsor Reservoir for each Plaintiff is not less than$1,250 for each year of permitted use. FOURTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Breach of Contract) 39. Windsor Shores incorporates paragraphs 1 through 38 of the Verified Amended Counterclaim above as if fully set forth herein. 40. Windsor Shores entered into agreements with Plaintiffs pursuant to License Agreements wherein licensees acknowledged, inter alia, that they were using the reservoir as a result of the issuance of the License Agreement and also specifically agreed to be bound by the rules and regulations of Windsor Shores with regard to the use and enjoyment of the reservoir. 41. Plaintiffs have breached the terms of the License Agreement by now contending they are not licensees or permitees in order to use the reservoir, and that they are not subject to the rules and regulations promulgated by Windsor Shores with regard to the use of the reservoir. 42. As a direct and proximate result of Plaintiffs' breach of the terms of the License Agreement, Windsor Shores is in breach of the lease entered into between Windsor Shores and Windsor Reservoir & Canal Company which requires that, inter alia, only permit holders use the reservoir and that all such permit holders shall be subject to rules and regulations permitting use of the reservoir. As a direct result of Plaintiffs' breach, Big Windsor, as lessor, has notified Windsor Shores of a breach and possible termination of the J Pace, plus claims for damages, costs and fees. 43. As a direct and proximate result of Plaintiffs' breach of the terms of the License Agreement, Windsor Shores has been cited by the Department of Planning Service for Weld County, Colorado, and faces a hearing for determination of revocation of the Use by Special Review held by Windsor Shores on the grounds that Windsor Shores allegedly is not in compliance with the application materials of the permit inasmuch as there are persons using the facility who do not hold an annual permit and/or who have not been found capable of safe and compatible conduct at a lake and water sports facility. 44. As a direct and proximate result of Plaintiffs' breach of the License Agreement, Windsor Shores faces the imminent loss of a valuable lease, loss of its Use by Special Review Permit from Weld County, loss of improvements made to the subject property, costs and attorneys' fees, damages and other irreparable harm. G:\CLI iNTl5114\AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM.WPD 7 FIFTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Preliminary and Permanent Injunction) 45. Windsor Shores incorporates paragraphs 1 through 44 of the Verified Amended Counterclaim above as if fully set forth herein. 46. The Plaintiffs' denial of their status as permitees or licensees and obligation to abide by applicable rules and regulations at the subject reservoir,if not immediately remedied, will cause Defendant Windsor Shores to suffer severe, immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage, including, but not limited to, the loss of valuable interests in unique real property, namely the lease and use permit for the Big Windsor Reservoir, and damages in an amount which cannot be determined with any certainty. 47. There is no plain, speedy or adequate remedy at law, and the granting of an injunction will not disserve the public interest, and the injunction will preserve the status quo pending a trial on the merits. 48. There is a reasonable probability that Defendant will succeed on the merits at trial. 49. Without the granting of the preliminary injunction declaring that users of the Windsor Shores reservoir facilities must be licensees or permit holders and subject to all applicable rules and regulations, Windsor Shores will suffer immediate and irreparable harm, all as set forth herein. 50. Such relief and determination is entirely consistent with this Court's earlier findings and order, and does not impair Plaintiffs' claims of entitlement to use the reservoir facility without an annual fee. WHEREFORE, Windsor Shores prays that judgment enter in favor of Windsor Shores and against Plaintiffs for indemnification in an amount of damages to Windsor Shores; a declaration of the rights and obligations of the parties under the License Agreements, Stock Purchase Agreement and Shareholder's Agreement of Windsor Recreational Enterprises, Ltd.; for an award of damages to Windsor Shores for the license fees for Plaintiffs' use of the premises at Big Windsor Reservoir; a determination of Plaintiffs' breach of the License Agreement; for a preliminary and permanent injunction; for its costs, expert witness fees, attorneys' fees, and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.
