NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF the foregoing and of the promises and
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto promise, covenant and agree as follows:
A. Required Off-Site Improvements:
1.0 Weld County Road 73: The Property Owner shall be responsible for the
construction of certain on-site and off-site safety improvements, which shall include:
construction of adequate turning radii sixty (60) feet at the main entrances and exits which
extend partially into CR 73 right-of-way(ROW), drainage and signage installations, as indicated
on the accepted Construction Plans and/or MUSRl4-0014 plat. The main entrance improvements
will include standard County approved tracking control, to ensure a complete revolution of the
truck tires in order to minimize potential hazardous safety conditions relative to the tracking of
mud and debris onto the adjacent County roadways. Granting of any new point of access may
generate additional obligations with County for Off-Site Improvements and the need to post
additional "Road Maintenance Collateral". A County access permit is needed for every access to
a County road.
2.0 Road Improvements Responsibilities: Property Owner is solely responsible for all
designated improvements, as specified above in Section A.1.0, on CR 73 and for any
construction improvements mandated by the Colorado Department of Transportation (hereinafter
"CDOT") and/or the County, and for all expenses associated therewith. These responsibilities
include, but are not limited to the following: design, surveys, utility locates, present and future
right-of-way clearances and permits; coordination with oil and gas operators and facilities, and
affected irrigation facilities; traffic control; and project safety during construction. Property
Owner shall obey all applicable regulations issued by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (hereinafter "OSHA"), CDOT, Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment, (hereinafter"CDPHE") and other Federal, State or County regulatory agencies.
3.0 Engineering Design and Construction Plans: For Off-Site Improvements as set-
forth in Section A. 1-2 above, all engineering designs and construction plans must be provided
by Property Owner. All plans showing work within the County shall be reviewed and accepted

giving times and locations of all proposed improvements shall be provided to Public Works for
review and acceptance. The approved and accepted construction plans are a part of this
Agreement.
4.0 Construction Standards: All construction and materials controls for a project and
any designated improvements shall conform to the requirements in effect as the time of the
completion of the improvements set forth in the "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge
Construction"provided by CDOT.
5.0 Traffic Control: Prior to any construction in the County and/or State Right-Of-
Way and as a condition of issuance of any access permit or Right-Of-Way permit, the Property
Owner shall submit a traffic control plan for County review. During construction, appropriate
safety signage shall be posted in accordance with the then current version of the Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (hereinafter"MUTCD").
6.0 Off-Site Dust Control/Abatement and/or Paving (If Applicable): The Property
Owner is required to provide dust abatement along affected Haul Route Roads approximately
two to five times per year, as determined by the County. County will determine the proportionate
share of dust control and/or paving costs to be paid by Property Owner based upon then current
Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) Counts that identify traffic loading due to Property Owner
sourced traffic. The amount and extent of dust control and paving measures will be determined
by site-specific conditions at the time, as determined exclusively by County personnel. In order
to accurately determine percentage of Property Owner/MUSR14-0014 haul traffic, the County
reserves the right to install traffic counters on the driveway(s) of their facility. The percentage of
haul traffic utilizing County roads in the vicinity of the site attributable to Property
Owner/MUSR14-0014 (or their contractors, clients, tenants, or customers) activities will be
determined by traffic counts conducted by the County on the primary and requested alternate or
revised haul routes. The County will have sole responsibility for determination of the percentage
of haul route traffic on all affected roads.
7.0 Future Improvements: Future improvements to the haul route(s) may be required
by County. Property Owner shall address all County access issues associated with afore-
mentioned haul route. Future County mandated measures may include improvements to any haul
route intersections or roadways then utilized by Property Owner. Property Owner shall pay a
proportionate share of the cost of the entire project including engineering designs and
construction plans based on the Applicant's share of ESAL Counts using then current data on the
haul route in the implementation of the above-mentioned improvements. County personnel alone
shall make all determinations regarding the gathering of and use of traffic data when making
decisions regarding cost sharing. In order to accurately determine percentage of Property Owner
haul traffic, the County reserves the right to install traffic counters on the driveway(s) of their
facility. Future improvements will be subject to any Federal, State or County regulations in
place at the time the improvement project is initiated. Haul Route improvements may be
triggered due to heavy truck traffic associated with the facility.

by Property Owner or site operator to approve the use of an additional access, new haul route, or
an alternative haul route as a result of a change in Property Owner's site activities and/or truck
circulation patterns, and if the alternative or additional access or haul route utilizes any unpaved
portion of County roads, and if County determines that dust control or paving is required on the
unpaved portion of said haul route roads, Property Owner agrees that dust control or paving
measures to protect the public health, safety, and welfare shall be instituted. County will
determine the proportionate share of dust control and/or paving costs to be paid by Property

financially responsible for the excavation, repair, and patching of any damage on current or
future haul route roads, which in the sole opinion of County has been created by hauling to and
from the Property. Should Property Owner's site activities and/or should Property Owner's truck
circulation patterns change in the future so that County approves an alternate haul route, and all
or a significant portion of Property Owner's sourced traffic no longer utilizes the above-
described haul route and instead utilizes other portions of County roads, Property Owner shall
cooperate with County in maintenance of said roads which are included within the new haul
route. The type and method of repair will be determined by the County Engineer or his
representative. Repairs shall commence within 48 hours of notification by the County for any

such Significant Damage and shall concurrently notify County of the
extent, type, timing, materials and quality of repair (i.e. temporary versus
permanent).
1.2 Repair of Road: On or before December 31 of the calendar year in which
County staff has determined through site analysis and/or pavement testing

order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and has budgeted
sufficient funds for the following calendar year to pay its share of the Off-
Site Improvement/Repair Costs, County shall notify Property Owner in
writing that the Off-Site Improvements/Repairs shall be undertaken.
Within ninety (90) days of its receipt of County's notice of the need to
undertake the road maintenance repairs and/or improvements, Property
Owner shall submit Off-Site Construction Plans and Cost Estimates to
County for review. Property Owner shall have sole responsibility for the
completion of the repairs and/or improvements on or before December 15
of the year following County's notice of the need for repairs.
1.3 In County's sole discretion, County may undertake the repairs and/or
improvements. Property Owner's payment for its Proportionate Share of
the road repairs/improvements will be calculated as determined in
Sections A.6.0 or A.7.0 of this Agreement, and in a manner consistent
with Section C.3.0 of this Agreement.
1.4 The County shall notify Property Owner of County's preliminary
determination and assessment of Property Owner's proportionate share of
costs of dust control, paving, repairs and maintenance on any particular
Haul Route Road. Prior to County's final determination and assessment,
County shall provide Property Owner with a reasonable opportunity to
review, comment upon and supplement County's data, collection
methodology, and determinations. The County shall review and consider
Property Owner's input prior to making a final determination and
assessment. The County shall have sole responsibility for determination
of Property Owner's proportionate share of costs.

inspection, County, in its sole discretion, shall determine actual conditions and shall further
determine what road repair/improvement/maintenance work is to be performed during that
construction season. Notification to the Property Owner of the required roadway repairs will be
given as soon as the data becomes available.
3.0 Future Road Replacement: At any time in the future, if, in the opinion of County,
road damage increases beyond the point that repair of damage cannot maintain the road in a safe
and usable condition, Property Owner shall pay a proportionate cost of a complete restoration
based on the number of Haul Trip ESAL Counts using then current data of haul trips entering or
exiting Property Owner's site onto the haul route in the implementation of the above-mentioned
improvements. Notification to the Property Owner of the required roadway replacements will be
given as soon as the data becomes available and typically takes place before the end of the year
prior to the start of the replacement project, as described in Section C.1.0 above.
4.0 Sharing of Road Maintenance Responsibilities with Other Property Owner and/or
Lessees: It is anticipated that Property Owner and other Property Owner and/or Lessees subject
to agreements similar to this Agreement will perform the required road maintenance work and
will share in the equipment, labor, and materials required. Any such sharing arrangement
between Property Owner and/or Lessee, and other Property Owner and/or Lessees shall be
conducted pursuant to separate agreements between the Property Owner and other Property
Owner and/or Lessees. County shall approve the Agreements only to determine whether the
required improvements/maintenance projects have been adequately addressed. County alone
shall determine the sufficiency of all road improvement/maintenance projects when completed.
5.0 Violation of Terms of Agreement: If Property Owner does not perform as
outlined in this Agreement and Exhibits A and B such non-performance will constitute a
violation of Property Owner land use permits granted by County, and County will take whatever
remedial measures it deems necessary, against Property Owner. In addition to any other remedy
available to the County in law or equity, a failure to comply with this Agreement shall be
considered grounds for setting a probable cause hearing according to the procedures described in
Section 2-4-40 of Weld County Code. Revocation of MUSR14-0014 as it now exists or may,
from time to time,be amended is a remedy which County may impose.
D. On-Site Improvements: (No On-Site Collateral is required for MUSR14-0014 but
Property Owner shall complete all On-Site Improvements as shown on the accepted Construction
Plans and/or plat map for MUSR14-0014.)
