The FURA's Obligation shall be paid only from the applicable Special Accounts described in Section 8 of this IGA and any interest earned on the amounts in the applicable Special Accounts.

If TIF Revenues are not received by FURA in any fiscal year, then no payment of Pledged Revenue shall be made for that year; provided, however, FURA shall take the steps specified in Section 9 to assure to the extent possible that Pledged Revenues shall be deposited in the Special Account each year this Agreement is in effect and the Obligation to pay Pledged Revenue to or on behalf of the CFD shall carry over to the next fiscal year and each year thereafter for the Term. B. Pledged Revenues. Pledged Revenues shall be calculated, collected, deposited, and maintained in the applicable Special Account in accordance with this IGA and paid to the CFD during each year of the applicable Term. The FURA agrees to invest any funds in the applicable Special Account in accordance with legal and contractual requirements for such public funds and any interest earned on such funds shall be added to and included in Pledged Revenues. No other tax increment financing revenues received by the FURA or any other revenues received by the FURA shall be considered Pledged Revenues. The FURA is only obligated to pay the Pledged Revenues for any Overlapping Area in years that it receives Available URA Tax Increment Revenues for the applicable Overlapping Area. FURA shall not enter into any agreement or transaction that impairs the rights of the CFD under this IGA and shall take all reasonable steps to defend and protect the CFD's right to receive the Pledged Revenues. The FURA hereby irrevocably pledges the Pledged Revenues to payment of the FURA's Obligation. The Pledged Revenues, when and as received by the FURA shall be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery, filing, or further act. The FURA shall transfer the TIF Revenues in the applicable Special Accounts as specified in Section 8. The FURA shall keep, maintain, and apply the Pledged Revenues as required exclusively to payment of the FURA's Obligation for the applicable Term. The FURA's Obligation established by this IGA is and shall be an obligation of the FURA pursuant to Section 31-25-807, C.R.S. The FURA has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11-57-208, C.R.S., to this Agreement. Creation, perfection, enforcement and priority of the pledge of the Pledged Revenues as provided herein, shall be governed by Section 11-57-208, C.R.S. and this IGA. The lien of such pledge on the Pledged Revenues and the obligation to perform the contractual provisions made herein shall have priority over any of all other obligations and liabilities of the FURA with respect to the Pledged Revenues for the Term of this Agreement. 7. Calculation of the Available Tax Increment for Pledged Revenues. The Pledged Revenues shall be calculated each year in accordance with the definitions of Available URA Tax Increment Revenues and Pledged Revenues set forth in Section 2 above. 8. Account of the Special Fund. Pursuant to the URA Act, for each URA Plan the FURA is required to keep the TIF Revenues it receives in a special fund dedicated for that purpose (each, a "Special Fund"). Subject to the provisions of this IGA, with respect to each Special Fund, the FURA agrees to establish, make deposits into, make disbursements from, and provide reports 35032163.9 6 Docusign Envelope ID: 1864F781-2088-4CF8-9F2B-E8648C49BD27 with respect to a line item within such Special Fund established for this Agreement (each, a "Special Account"). Each Special Account shall include only the Pledged Revenues for the applicable Overlapping Area. No other tax increment financing revenues received by the FURA or any other revenues received by the FURA shall be included in such Special Account. The FURA agrees to annually budget, appropriate, and deposit into each Special Account the Pledged Revenues. 9. Methodology and Risk Allocation of the Pledged Revenue. The Parties understand and acknowledge that TIF Revenues are remitted to the FURA according to policies and procedures adopted by the Tax Administrator, the County Assessor, and the County Treasurer and based on the annual valuation of all properties located within the URA Plan Areas. Accordingly, the timing and payment by the County to the FURA of all, or some portion, of the TIF Revenues is a matter that is out of the control of the FURA. Nothing herein is intended to be, or shall be construed as, a promise or guarantee by the FURA that the Pledged Revenues will be collected and remitted to the FURA in projected or anticipated amounts. The FURA shall take reasonable steps to (a) provide the County Assessor with information of activities that increase the assessed value of all property within the URA Plan Areas, (b) meet with the County Assessor at least annually to assist the County Assessor in calculating the total assessed value of the URA Plan Areas, and (c) review the calculation of assessed values and the allocation of value to the Plan Area Base Value applicable to each of the Overlapping Areas each year to assure to the extent reasonably possible that such calculations and allocations are true and accurate. A. Methodology. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the TIF Revenues attributable to each Overlapping Area are calculated and remitted to the FURA in the aggregate for the entire applicable URA Plan Area. Therefore, in the event that the total annual TIF Revenues received by the FURA are insufficient to meet all of its tax increment finance obligations and agreements existing as of the Effective Date, the FURA will use a reasonable methodology for allocating its funds and revenues actually received to the CFD pursuant to this IGA. In such event, the FURA will provide to the CFD an explanation of its methodology together with supporting documentation. B. Allocation of Risk. The CFD acknowledges that the generation of Pledged Revenue is dependent upon the Available URA Tax Increment Revenues generated and agrees that the FURA is in no way responsible for the amount of Pledged Revenue actually generated. The CFD further acknowledges that the Tax Administrator and the County Assessor may modify the process for calculating TIF Revenues, which may reduce the amount of Pledged Revenues. The CFD therefore agrees to assume the entire risk that insufficient Pledged Revenues will be generated to compensate for the cost of the CFD Projects. 10. Use of Pledged Revenues. The CFD agrees to use the Pledged Revenues received from the FURA pursuant to this IGA to support the goals of the CFD Plan of Development and the CFD Projects contemplated therein, including to pay the principal of, the interest on, and any premiums due in connection with the bonds of, loans or advances to, or indebtedness incurred by the Town for financing or refinancing a CFD Project within the boundaries of the CFD Plan Area. 11. Books and Accounts. The FURA will keep, or cause to be kept, proper and current books and accounts in which complete and accurate entries shall be made of the amount of Pledged 35032163.9 7 Docusign Envelope ID: 1864F781-2088-4CF8-9F2B-E8648C499D27 Revenue received by the FURA and the amounts deposited into and paid out from the Special Account. 12. InsDection. All books, records, and reports (except those required by applicable law to be kept confidential) in the possession of the FURA relating to the Pledged Revenue, and allocation of such revenue to the Special Account, including the books and records described in Section 11, shall at all reasonable times be open to inspection by accountants or other agents of the CFD as provided by law. 13. Delays. Any delays in or failure of performance by any Party of its obligations under this IGA shall be excused if such delays or failure are a result of acts of God, acts of public enemy, acts of the Federal or state government, acts of third parties, litigation concerning the validity of this IGA or relating to transactions or the IGA contemplated hereby, fire, floods, strikes, labor disputes, accidents, regulations or order of civil or military authorities, shortages of labor or materials, or other causes, similar or dissimilar, which are beyond the control of such Party. 14. Subsequent Legislation. The Parties agree that in the event legislation is adopted after the Effective Date of this IGA that invalidates or materially effects any provisions hereof, the Parties will in good faith negotiate for an amendment to this IGA that most fully implements the original intent, purpose and provisions of this IGA. 15. No Third -Party Enforcement.

It is the express intention of the undersigned Parties that any entity other than the undersigned Parties shall be an incidental beneficiary only. The Parties intend for the IGA to also include a similar provision regarding third -parties. 16. No Waiver of Immunities. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver, in whole or in part, by any Party hereto of the rights, protections, and privileges afforded under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. § 24-10-101, et seq., or under any other law, nor shall any portion of this IGA be deemed to have created a duty of care which did not previously exist with respect to any person not a Party to this IGA. 17. Severability. If any provision of this IGA is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Further, in the event of any such holding of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, the Parties will in good faith negotiate for an amendment to this IGA or the anticipated IGA that achieves to the greatest degree possible the intent of the affected provision of this IGA or the anticipated IGA. 18. No Assignment. No Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this IGA without the express prior written consent of the other Party. Any attempted assignment in violation of this provision shall be null and void and of no force and effect. 35032163.9 R Docusign Envelope ID: 1864F781-2088-4CF8-9F2B-E8648C49BD27 19.
