tennination until the time of award payment exceeds the amount of any sums (net of
reletting costs and expenses) actually received by Landlord from the Premises after
tennination. Landlord shall have an affinnative obligation to attempt to mitigate its
damages following tennination, until the time of the award payment.
(C)The "worth at the time of the award payment" of the
amount by which the Rent and all other charges which would have accrued after the time
20
of the award payment for the remaining tenn of this Lease exceeds the Fair Market Rent
{"FMR"), determined in the manner set forth below, for the remaining Tenn of this
Lease. The FMR, as used in this Lease, shall be the fair market rent of the Premises, net
of market brokerage commissions and consulting fees, as of the time of the award for a
term equal to the remaining term of this Lease subsequent to the time of the award
payment {assuming this lease had not been terminated) on an "as is" basis, as detennined
by a licensed MAI appraiser selected by Landlord. At Tenant's option, Tenant may
select an additional licensed MAI appraiser to estimate FMR and Tenant's appraiser and
Landlord's appraiser shall select a third MAI appraiser to estimate the FMR, in which
case the FMR shall be the median of the three appraisals. Tenant shall bear the cost of
the appraisal process.
As used in this Article 13.2, the term, "worth at the time of the award payment",
shall be computed by allowing simple interest at an accrual rate equal to the Default Rate for
past due obligations, and a discount rate to net present value at the time of the award
payment of five percent (5%) per annum on anticipated future obligations or revenues, and
mitigation amounts, with no interest or discount, on the amount of the obligations payable
on the date of such calculation. In the event this Lease shall be tenninated as provided
above, by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord, its agents, servants or
representatives may immediately or at any time thereafter peaceably re-enter and resume
possession of the Premises and, at Tenant's expense, remove all persons and property

possession of the Premises, placing the same in good order and condition and repairing the
same for reletting, and all other reasonable and actual expenses, commissions and charges
incurred by Landlord in exercising any remedy provided herein or as a result of any Event
of Default by Tenant hereunder (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees),
provided that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to compensate Landlord for any
speculative or consequential damages caused by Tenant's failure to perfonn its obligations
under this Lease.
B.Remedies Are Cumulative. The various rights and remedies reserved to
Landlord herein are cumulative, and Landlord may pursue any and all such rights and
remedies, in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity, whether at
the same time or otherwise (to the extent not inconsistent with specific provisions of this
Lease). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord expressly waives its
right to forcibly dispossess Tenant from the Premises, whether peaceably or otherwise,
without judicial process, such that Landlord shall not be entitled to any "commercial
lockout" or any other provisions of applicable law which permit landlords to dispossess
tenants from commercial properties without the benefit of judicial review.
C.Mitigation of Damages. In the event Landlord elects to terminate the Lease
and seek damages from Tenant as provided herein, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to
mitigate its damages. Landlord shall have the option but not the obligation to list the
Premises for lease with a real estate broker. In the event Landlord elects not to so list the
21
property but instead elects to itself market the Property for lease, such election shall not be
deemed to constitute a failure by Landlord to mitigate. Landlord will not be obligated to accept less than the then current market rent for the Premises; deviate from its then
established guidelines for tenants including without limitation use, experience, reputation, and creditworthiness; lease less than all of the Premises; extend the term of this Lease; or expend any money on behalf of a new tenant. Tenant will not have any independent, affirmative claim against Landlord on account of Landlord's failure to mitigate its damages; however, such failure to mitigate may be asserted by Tenant as a defense to a claim by Landlord to the extent allowed by law.
D.Waiver of Landlord's Lien. Landlord hereby waives any statutory liens andany rights of distress with respect to Tenant's Property (as defined below) from time to time located on the Premises. This Lease does not grant a contractual lien or any other security . interest to Landlord or in favor of Landlord with respect to Tenant's Property. Landlord further agrees, without cost to Tenant, to execute and deliver such instruments reasonably requested by Tenant from time to time to evidence the aforesaid waiver of Landlord. As used herein the term "Tenant's Property" shall mean all movable partitions, business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, automobiles, computers, furniture, satellite dish{s), sigriage, communications equipment and office equipment, and all furniture, furnishings and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant and locat ed in the Premises.
3.Landl ord's Default. In the event Landlord shall at any time be in default in theobservance or performance of any of the covenants and agreements required to be perfonned and observed by Landlord hereunder and any such default shall continue for a period of sixty ( 60) days after written notice to Landlord {or if such default is incapable of being cured in a reasonable manner within sixty {60) days and if Landlord has not commenced to cure the same within said sixty {60) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion), and Landlord shall not thereafter cure such default, Tenant shall be entitled, at its election, to
bring suit for the collection of any amounts for which Landlord may be in default, or for the performance of any other covenant or agreement devolving upon Landlord, in addition to all remedies otherwise provided in this Lease and otherwise available at law or in equity under the laws of the United States or the State of Colorado.
4.Attorneys' Fees In the event that either Landlord or Tenant commences any suit
for the collection of any amounts for which the other may be in default or for the performance of any other covenant or agreement hereunder, the prevai ling Party in any such action shall be
awarded its costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, all attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in enforcing such obligations and/or collecting such amounts, from the other Party to such action.
5.Waiver of Consequ ential Damages. In no event shall either Landlord or Tenant
have the right to recover consequential damages of any kind from the other. Except as limited
herein above, all rights and rem edies may be exercised and enforced concurrently and whenever
and as often as Landlord or Tenant shall deem necessary. In the event of a default by Tenant,
nothing contained herein shall preclude, or be deemed a waiver, of Landlord's right to recover
damages arising from its ownership or operation of the property owned by it adjacent to the
Premises.

Article 14 Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment
Landlord agrees that Tenant shall quietly and peaceably hold, possess, and enjoy
the Premises, without any hindrance or molestation by the agents or employees of Landlord, and
further, Landlord shall, subject to any additional exceptions created by Tenant or created by
Landlord and approved by Tenant, defend the title to the Premises and the use and occupancy of
the same by Tenant against the lawful claims of all persons whosoever, except those claiming by
or through Tenant.
Article 15
Subordination; Landlord's Right to Mortgage and Convey Premises
Landlord may mortgage its interest in the Premises, provided such mortgage
expressly provides that the rights and interests of the mortgagee thereunder are subject and
subordinate to the rights and interests of Tenant hereunder and the rights of any Leasehold
Mortgagee under any Leasehold Mortgage then or thereafter existing. Should Landlord sell,
convey, or transfer its interest in the Premi ses or should any mortgagee of Landlord succeed to
Landlord's interest through foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, Tenant shall attom to such
succeeding party as its landlord under this Lease promptly upon any such succession, provided
such succeeding party assumes all of Landlord's duties and obligations under this Lease. Such
succeeding party shall not be liable for any of Landlord's obligations and duties hereunder prior
to its assumption of Landlord's duties and obligations hereunder.
Article 16 Transfers by Landlord
No transfer or sale of Landlord's interest hereunder shall release Landlord from
any of its obligations or duties hereunder prior thereto. Landlord shall be released of any
ongoing obligations hereunder from and after the date of such transfer and only upon the

A.When giving notice to Tenant with respect to any default hereunder,
Landlord shall also serve a copy of such notice upon any Leasehold Mortgagee who shall

grace period available to Tenant for curing such default or such ad ditional time as may be granted to any Leasehold Mortgagee herein, to cure or make good, such default or to
cause the same to be cured or made good, whether the same consists of the failure to pay Rent or the failure to perform any other obligation, and L andlord shall accept such performances on the part of any Leasehold Mortgagee as though the same had been done
or pe1formed by Tenant.
B.In the case of a Monetary Default by Tenant, Landlord will take no action
to effect a tennination of this Lease by reason thereof unless such default has continued
beyond forty-five (45} days after Landlord shall have served a copy of notice of such
default upon Tenant and any Leasehold Mortgagee who has given Landlord notice as
provided in Article 18.2.A, it being the intent hereof and the understanding of the parties
27
that any Leasehold Mortgagee shall be allowed not less than fifteen (15) days in addition
to the thirty (30) days granted to Tenant to cure any Monetary Default of Tenant.
C.In the case of any Non-Monetary Default by Tenant, a Leasehold
Mortgagee shall be allowed, in addition to any grace period granted to Tenant, an
additional time as hereinafter specified to cure such Non�Monetary Default within which
either:
a)if such default is capable of being cured by the payment of money
or is otherwise susceptible of being cured by the Leasehold Mortgagee without

such Non-Monetary Default within thirty (30) days following the expiration of
any grace period granted to Tenant, or if such default cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days, to commence such cure within thirty (30) days following
the _expiration of any grace period granted to Tenant and to diligently prosecute
the cure to completion;
b)if such default is not susceptible of being cured by the Leasehold
Mortgagee without obtaining possession of the Premises, to commence
proceedings to obtain possession of the Premises within thirty (30) days following
the expiration of any grace period granted to Tenant and diligently prosecute such
action to completion (including possession by a receiver) and to cure such default
within thirty {30) days following possession or the appointment of a receiver in
the case of a default which is susceptible of being cured within thirty (30) days

nominee or to the purchaser, assignee, or transferee, as the case may be, for the remainder
of the Term, containing the same covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, and
limitations as are contained herein, provided that the Leasehold Mortgagee shall (i) pay to
Landlord, simultaneously with the delivery of such new lease, all unpaid rental due under
this Lease up to and including the date of the commencement of the term of such new
lease and all expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements and court costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the default by
Tenant and the termination and the preparation of the new lease, and (ii) the Leasehold
Mortgagee shall commence and diligently proceed to cure all defaults existing under this
Lease which are susceptible to cure.
E.The time available to a Leasehold Mortgagee to initiate foreclosure
proceedings as aforesaid shall be deemed extended by the number of days of delay of

circumstances beyond the Leasehold Mortgagee's control.
F.During the period that a Leasehold Mortgagee shall be in possession of the
Premises and/or during the pendency of any foreclosure proceedings instituted by a
Leasehold Mortgagee, the Leas ehold Mortgagee shall pay or cause to be paid all charges
of whatsoever nature payable by Tenant hereunder which have been accrued and are
unpaid and which will thereafter accrue during said period. Following the acquisition of
Tenant's leasehold estate by the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee, either as a result of
foreclosure or acceptance of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure, Landlord1s right to
effect a termination of this Lease based upon the default in que stion shall be deemed
waived. Any default not susceptible of being cured by the Leasehold Mortgagee or party
acquiring title to Tenant's leasehold estate shall be and shall be deemed to have been
waived by Landlord upon completion of the foreclosure proceedings or acquisition of
Tenant's interest in this Lease by any purchaser (who may, but need not be, the Leasehold
-Mortgagee) at the foreclosure sale, or who otherwise acquires Tenant's interest from the
Leasehold Mortgagee or by virtue of a Leasehold Mortgagee's exercise of its remedies.
Any such purchaser, or successor of purchaser, shall assume Ten ant's obligations under
this Lease which accrue subsequent to acquiring such interest, but shall not be liable to
perform the obligations imposed on Tenant by this Lease incurred or accruing after such
purchaser or successor no longer has ownership of the leasehold estate or possession of
the Premises.
G.Nothing herein shall preclude Landlord from exercising any of Landlord's
rights or remedies with respect to any other default by Tenant during any period of any
such forbearance, subject to the rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee as herein provided.
H.In the event two or more Leasehold Mortgagees each exercise their rights
hereunder and there is a conflict which renders it impossible to comply with all such
requests, the Leasehold Mortgagee whose leasehold mortgage would be senior in priority
if there were a foreclosure shall prevail. In the event any Leasehold Mortgagee pays any
rental or other sums due hereunder which relate to periods other than during its actual
ownership of the leasehold estate, such Leasehold Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any
and all rights which may be asserted against Landlord with respect to such period of time.
I.Upon the reasonable request of any Leasehold Mortgagee, Landlord and
Tenant shall cooperate in including in this Lease by suitable amendment or separate
agreement from time to time any provision for the purpose of implementing the
protective provisions contained in this Lease for the benefit of such Leasehold Mortgagee
in allowing such Leasehold Mortgagee reasonable means to protect or preserve the lien of
its proposed Leasehold Trust Deed on the occurrence of an Event of Default under the
terms of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall execute, deliver, and acknowledge any
amendment or separate agreement reasonably necessary to effect any such require ment;
provided, however, that any such amendment or separate agreement shall not in any way
affect the Term or Rent under this Lease nor otherwise in any material respect adversely
affect any rights of Landlord under this Lease.
29
J. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord any attorneys' fees or other direct out of
pocket costs incurred in connection with any lease amendments or other documentation
or review in connection with Tenant's proposed Leasehold Mortgage.

The Title Commitment will show Landlord to be owner of fee simple title to the Premises and commit to insure title in Tenant under the standard owner's
policy of title insurance of the Company (the "Title Policy") and for the Purchase Price (as
defined in Article 20.3 below). Tenant shall have a reasonable period not to exceed ten (10}

A.If Tenant objects to title, on or before the expiration of the Title Review
Period, it shall give Landlord Notice (a "Title Objection Notice"), in which event the
Parties will proceed as set forth in Paragraph 4(c1 below. If Tenant approves of the title
33

the expiration of the Title Review Period, then Landlord will have ten business days (the
"Landlord Response Period") in which to (i) propose a cure ("Proposed Title Cure")
of the Title Objection or (ii) advise Tenant that it will not cure the Title Objection;
provided, however, that any mortgage, deed of trust or other monetary lien or
encumbrance placed by Landlord upon its fee simple interest in the Premises and in effect
as of the Closing of the Purchase Option (each a "Landlord Mortgage'') shall not
constitute an objection to title for which Tenant shall be required to give a Title Objection
Notice and in no case shall constitute a Permitted Exception, and Landlord agrees, at its
expense, to cause each Landlord Mortgage to be released of record at the Closing of the
Purchase Option. If Landlord fails to respond to the Title Objection within the Landlord
Response Period, Landlord shall be deemed to have given a Notice advising that it will
not cure the Title Objection.
D.If Landlord offers a Proposed Title Cure within the Landlord Response
Period, Tenant will have ten (10) business days thereafter to give notice to Landlord that
it (i) accepts the Proposed Title Cure, in which case the Parties will proceed as set forth

notice) to Landlord that it rejects a Proposed Title Cure, as Tenant's sole remedy and by
notice to Landlord before the expiration of the Option Period, Tenant (i) may elect to
waive the Title Objection, in which event the Title Objection will be a Permitted

shall be the fair market value of the Premises, valued as vacant land only without assigning any
value to any Improvements then constructed on or under the Premises, and as if the Premises
were not encumbered by this Lease. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the fair
market value on or before twenty (20) days following the date Tenant gave its Exercise Notice,
then the fair market value shall be determined by the following appraisal method: Landlord and
Tenant shall attempt to agree upon one licensed MAI appraiser but if Landlord and Tenant are
34
unable to do so, Landlord and Tenant shall each select one licensed MAI appraiser by providing
written notice of such selection to the other Party on or before thirty five (35) days following the
date Tenant gave its Exercise Notice. The two licensed appraisers shall select a third appraiser
within ten (10) days foll owing the appointment of the last of the original two appraisers. The
three appraisers shall then determine, by a vote of at least two of the three appraisers, the fair
market value of the Premises, valued as vacant land only without assigning any value to any
Improvements then constructed on or under the Premises, and as if the Premises were not
encumbered by this Lease. The appraisers, or the majority of the appraisers, as the case may be,
shall then submit an appraisal report to the Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days
following the appointment of the third appraiser, and the market value as shown in such appraisal
report shall be the Purchase Price. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser
within the allotted time period, the appraiser appointed by the other Party shall be the sole
appraiser. If only one appraiser is used, the fair market value shall be as determined by such
appraiser's report. If a single appraiser is used, the parties shall share equally in the cost thereof. If three appraisers are used, Landlord and Tenant shall pay the cost of its own appraiser and
share equally in the cost of the third appraiser.
4.Closing Costs. If the Purchase Option is exercised by Tenant in accordance with
the terms hereof, then at the closing of the conveyance of the Premises (the "Closingu ), (a)

half (1/2) of all escrow and title company fees and charges (other than the title policy charges
specified above); and one-half (1/2) of all Other Closing Costs. As used herein, "Other Closing
Costs" shall mean document preparation charges by the title company, but shall not include any
escrow or title company fees, real estate brokerage commissions, finder's fees, attorneys' fees or
other such costs and expense s incurred separately by Tenant or Landlord.

Reservoir Foundation
property to Shea Properties

Highlands Ranch, llC .-2nd
Reading
IN ITIATED BY STAFF SOURCE
Englewood Mclella n Reservoir Foundation Murphy Robinson, EMRF Board of Directors
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
In 1999, City Council authorized the creation of the Englewood Mclellan Reservoir
Foundation (EMRF) for the purpose of facilitating the development of property adjacent
to the City's Mclellan Reservoir. On July 6, 2015, City Council approved Resolution 85
that supported EMRF in its negoti ations with Shea for the lease, with an option to
purchase, the EMRF property in Highlands Ranch Planning Area 81 (PA 81.) On July
20, 2015, City Council approved Ordinance 28 that placed a ballot measure authorizing
the sale of EMRF property following a minimum lease of 20 years. Ballot Question 2K
was subsequently approved by Englewood voters in the November 2015 election
authorizing sale of EMRF property, subject to ordinance approval by City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
EMRF recommends City Council approve a bill for an ordinance, on second reading,
approving the lease of the EMRF property in PA 81 to Shea Properties d.b.a. Central
Park at Highlands Ranch, lLC, with an option to purchase following a lease term of 20
years.
BACKGROUND
In 1999, through Ordinance 41, City Council authorized the transfer of certain parcels of
property in Douglas County near Mclellan Reservoir to EMRF for the purpose of
facilitating the development of those properties. Since that time, EMRF has managed
and maintained the property, has made improvements, including over-lot grading and
storm water management, and has platted most of the individual parcels, including the
subject parcel.
On July 6, 2015, City Council approved Resolution 85 that supported EMRF in its
negotiations with Shea Properties d.b.a. Central Park at Highlands Ranch, llC, for the
lease of PA 81, with an option to purchase after 20 years. After the passage of Ballot
Question 2K in November of 2015, Shea has secured initial entitlements from Douglas
County, including determination of County requirements for roadway and park
dedication. The land necessary for the required roadways to serve the development of
PA 81 and for dedication of a three acre park to be allocated between Shea and EMRF.
Shea has secured a tenant of an institutional nature and has reached a tentative tenant
agreement for use of a significant portion of PA 81, based on the terms of the proposed
lease with EMRF. The institutional use is subject to the approval of the option to
purchase the property in the future, as provided by the approval of 2015 ballot question.
The nature of the institutional use is one of such permanence that a future purchase is a
requirement of its agreement with Shea.
The basic terms of the proposed lease, with option to purchase are as follows:
1.An initial lease term of 20 years, with extension options up to 65 years.
2.The lease of 33.3 acres of the EMRF PA 81 in its entirety, less land
dedications required by Douglas County for roadways and a three acre
public park. The land dedications are to be distributed equally between
EMRF and Shea.
3.A net ann ual rental rate based on a $6/sq. ft. value with a capitalization rate
of 4.5%, or approximately $9.2 million over the initial 20 year term of the
lease.
4.An annual inflation rate increase of 2% the initial 20 year term with an
adjustment after year 20, based on actual inflationary factors
5.A purchase option at the expiration of the initial lease term, based on a fair
market value determined by appraisal of the land in an unimproved, vacant
condition.
6.The exchange agreement between Shea and EMRF is subject to, and will
take place concurrently with, the closing of the lease, and is subject to
execution of the lease.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The initial 20 year lease term will generate $9.2 million. In addition, the sale of the
property at the end of the 20 year term will generate additional revenue based on the
appraisal of the unimproved ground at that time.
