Re: TPA, Inc. /QualMed Transaction
Dear Jim:
FILE COPY
We have reviewed the document delivered to my office in the afternoon of June 23, 1999 and have
the following requested changed and comments:
Purchase And Sale Agreement
Without having been furnished Exhibit "A" we assume that the term "Property" includes both the
Pope Block Building and Generator Building, if not, please advise.
Paragraph 2.2(b) - the Bill of Sale should contain warranties of title.
Paragraph 2.2(a) - conveyance should be by warranty deed.
Paragraph 2.5(a) - we recommend that Foundation obtain an extended endorsement, update
and have recertified the survey and delete Exceptions 1 through 5. We also request
Foundation obtain an ALTA loan policy insuring City's loan and deed of trust in the amount
of the $4.5 million purchase price.
Paragraph 2.5(b) - we understand Foundation will undertake a complete inspection of the
Property and Personal Property and will give notice of dissatisfaction if appropriate.
Paragraph 2.6 - we understand Foundation is still negotiating with QualMed to modify the
warranties to conform with Foundation's warranties in the Lease.
Paragraph 3.1(b) - the first sentence is incomplete.
Paragraph 3.1(c) - normally the Seller pays documentary fees. Will not the closing fees
exceed $250.00?
Paragraph 5.4 - if material casualty, and Purchaser receives Seller's right to recovery under
Seller's insurance, the following should be added to the second sentence:
Mr. James Spaccamonti
June 25, 1999
Page -2-
and Purchaser shall receive a credit on the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the
deductible applicable to that casualty under Seller's existing insurance policies.
Paragraph 6.3(a) - the following should be added after "set forth in Paragraph 2.6 ":
and, to the extent assignable, the items described in paragraphs 1.3(a) and (b).
Paragraph 6.17 - should be deleted since the purchase agreement will be approved by the City
Council and become a public record.
If any personal property or fixtures now located in the Property are to be removed by Seller, such
personal property should be shown on an attached Exhibit and Seller should repair all damage caused
by such removal.
With respect to possession, as we understand paragraph 2.2(f), actual possession of the Properties
will be delivered to Foundation at Closing. Nothing addresses the continued occupancy of the
Properties by QualMed. Does "actual possession" mean subject to QualMed's occupancy?
Lease
Section Two - since the Lessee is not going to pay Foundation as additional rent any
compensation or rent received by Lessee from subtenants or assignees (which we object to), Section
Five should be deleted from the last sentence. Also to clarify, the following should be added to the
last sentence:
during the Lease term and the term of the extension, if extended.
Section Four - last paragraph, wherever "QualMed" appears, it should be changed to
"QualMed and Foundation Health Systems." The words "or otherwise" probably should be deleted
from the second sentence. We understand the second from the last sentence is to be deleted.
However, the last sentence should remain.
Section Five - Foundation has relaxed the sublease and assignment provision. Again, since
the rent is below market (see Rent below), we would request that sublease rent and consideration
received through assignment by Lessee be paid to Foundation as additional rent. With respect to the
second paragraph, assignment should also require the consent of the City Council and the City
Council should be involved in those decisions reserved to Foundation.
Section Fifteen - Lessee has not committed to employ 600 full -time employees during the
entire seven year period as represented. Add to the third paragraph:
Mr. James Spaccamonti
June 25, 1999
Page -3-
commencing September 1, 2001 and each September 1 thereafter.
The liquidated damage provisions have been deleted. Please explain.
Section Sixteen - as we understand, Lessee has been given an option to purchase at the end
of the three -year extension period; therefore, if the Lease term is not so extended, Lessee has no
option to purchase. If our understanding is incorrect, please advise.
After the first sentence add:
in their then condition "AS IS ".
The third sentence should be modified to read "at least sixty days prior to the end of the three -
year extension period" and the second to last sentence should be deleted.
Section Seventeen - add after the second sentence:
and shall be constructed and installed in compliance with all applicable laws and code.
Section Nineteen - as we understand, the Lessee is granted the right to extend for only one
3 -year extended term. Therefore, the third sentence should be deleted. The beginning of the third
sentence should read:
Should the Lessee hold over after the expiration of the initial lease term or the
extended term, whichever the case may be, without an agreed upon further extension
of the Lease,
Also, add with respect to the appraiser selected by Lessor, Lessee "and City of Pueblo."
Section Thirty -Four - the words "subject to the limitations of Section Five" should have been
placed after the word "assigns" in the first sentence.
Rent The rent is substantially less than fair market value rent. We make this observation
notwithstanding that (i) the Lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, utilities, taxes and
insurance which are represented to be approximately $3.95 per square foot per year based upon
150,000 square feet of rentable space, and (ii) the Lessee will be liable for additional rent equivalent
to $89.29 per month for each full -time employee less than committed during certain periods of the
Lease. Assuming that no employees are employed by Lessee during the entire 7 -year term of its
commitment, the equivalent annual square foot rent would be:
Mr. James Spaccamonti
June 25, 1999
Page -4-
You have computed the monthly additional rent of $89.29 per employee based upon the City's $4.5
million and Company's employment commitment of 600 full time employees during the entire 7 -year
period. However, if you use the actual Company employment commitment for the full 7 -year period,
i.e., no employees for the first year, 200 employees for the second year, 400 employees for the third
year, and 600 employees for the fourth through seventh years, the additional rent should be $125.00
per employee per month. In effect, for the actual number of employees committed during the 7 -year
period, the City will advance on average $10,500 per employee instead of the $7,500 per employee
as represented. The additional rent under the Lease does not reflect these figures and is 40% per
employee per month less than it should be.
Agreement
As we discussed, your proposed Agreement between the City and PEDCO Foundation
( "Foundation ") is not acceptable. It was not my or the City Council's intent or understanding that the
Foundation would receive all rent paid under the Lease and title to the Properties if TPA fulfilled its
employment commitment. We understood that Foundation was to act as the vehicle to acquire the
Property and lease to TPA in order that QualMed would be able to apply for tax credits and
deductions. Our proposed Agreement adequately protects Foundation and furthers the intent that
Foundation should not be responsible or liable for any costs and expenses incurred in the transactions.
As you proposed, Foundation would receive $3,900,000 in rental payments from TPA (assuming
TPA leases for 10 years) and Properties having a value in excess of $4 million. Since TPA is
responsible for all Property maintenance, repair, insurance, utilities and tax, Foundation's exposure
to expenses appears to be minimal. However, our Agreement pre - authorizes those expenses requiring
only that Foundation submit requests for payment and supporting documentation, which does not
appear unreasonable since we are dealing with public funds.
As you understand, the City will have over $10.4 million in cash invested in these transactions and
Properties and, in our opinion, the City may not lawfully authorize the transfer of its interest in the
Properties in a manner that the Properties and income therefrom are lost to the City and transferred
from the control of the City Council. All proceeds from rent or sale of the Properties must be

be subject to appropriation for job creating capital improvement projects, as the City Council shall
determine in accordance with the requirements of the people's ordinance imposing the one -half cent

Foundation.

acceptable to the City.

(c) City receiving from Foundation this Agreement, Security Agreement, and Deed

(d) City receiving the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release in substantially
the form and substance contained in the attached Exhibit "C" duly and lawfully executed and

(g) the City Attorney and Foundation's legal counsel having approved as to form
and substance all title insurance commitments, general warranty deeds, bills of sale, warranties, and
other documents and instruments reasonably required and necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated under the Purchase And Sale Agreement.
3. Foundation's Enforcement of Lease. The primary purpose of City in entering into this
0
el
Agreement and the sole consideration for making City Funds available to Foundation and for City
entering into the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release are the creation of jobs and the economic
development of the City and its downtown area. The enforcement of the Lease and Lessee's
obligations thereunder will help and promote the accomplishments of such purposes. Therefore,
Foundation shall timely, promptly and continuously monitor the performance of the Lessee under the
Lease and enforce the terms, conditions and covenants of the Lease. In the event Foundation defaults
in its performance of this Agreement or under the Lease, or refuses to enforce the Lease, then, in
either event, Foundation does appoint City its true and lawful attorney -in -fact for Foundation and in
Foundation's name, place and stead, to enforce the performance of the Lessee under the Lease and
the terns, conditions and covenants of the Lease, and to bring any action or proceedings in any court
of competent jurisdiction and to take all such steps as may be necessary with respect to such
enforcement. The power of attorney, if so created, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest
and irrevocable.
4. Represented Value. City Funds constitute only a portion of the fair market value of
the Property and Personal Property which has a represented value of $12.9 million (the "Represented
Value "). The Represented Value is being paid in part by City Funds and the balance thereof is being
paid by City through the City entering into the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, which
constitute material and substantial consideration to QualMed, Inc. and Foundation Health Systems,
Inc. for the transfer and sale of the Property and Personal Property to Foundation under the Purchase
And Sale Agreement. Foundation hereby agrees to pay to City the Represented Value without
interest in cash or in the form of Lease Proceeds on or before December 31, 2009, provided,
-5-
.
however, that Foundation's obligation with respect to the payment of the Represented Value shall be
limited wholly and solely to the value of the Property and Personal Property encumbered by the Deed
of Trust and Security Agreement, and City will look solely to the Property and Personal Property
encumbered by the Deed of Trust and Security Agreement for the payment of the Represented Value.
In no event, shall Foundation be personally obligated or liable for the payment of the Represented
Value either in a direct action at law or in equity against Foundation, or for deficiency after
foreclosure or realization of the value of the Property and Personal Property. The Deed of Trust and
Security Agreement shall secure the payment of the Represented Value as well as the performance
of all Foundation's other covenants and obligations under this Agreement.
5. Lease Proceeds. All Lease Proceeds shall be collected by Foundation and held in trust
nevertheless until deposited by Foundation in the hereinafter described escrow account for the
following uses and purposes: first, to pay all costs and expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred
by Foundation in connection with the Property and Personal Property and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Lease (the "Foundation's Expenses "); and the balance
thereof, to City in repayment of the Represented Value including City Funds advanced to Foundation
pursuant to this Agreement. All Lease Proceeds and interest thereon received by the City shall be
deposited in the 1992 -2001 Sales and Use Tax Capital Improvement Projects Fund to be used as
provided in Section 14 -4 -85(1) of the Pueblo Municipal Code or as same may be subsequently
amended. As soon as reasonably possible after receipt of any Lease Proceeds, Foundation shall
deposit or cause such Lease Proceeds to be deposited with an escrow agent in an escrow account to
be established by City. Moneys, and interest thereon, on deposit in the escrow account shall be
0
received, held and invested by the escrow agent pursuant to an escrow agreement (the "Escrow
Agreement ") approved by the City's Director of Finance (the "Director "). The Escrow Agreement
shall provide that all moneys on deposit in the escrow account shall be paid and disbursed by the
escrow agent only for the foregoing uses and purposes and in accordance with the written instructions
of the Director. Since it is the intent of the parties hereto that Foundation will not be liable or
responsible for any Foundation's Expenses, the Director is authorized and directed to instruct the
escrow agent to reimburse or pay Foundation's Expenses after Foundation submits to the Director
a written request for payment itemizing with supporting documentation Foundation's Expenses.
6. Inalienability of Property. Foundation will not voluntarily or involuntarily mortgage,
encumber, lease or sublease, or extend or renew any lease or sublease, assign, sell or otherwise
transfer the Property or the Personal Property, or any part thereof, or any of its right, title or interest
therein or in the Lease, without the prior written consent of the City Council of City, which consent
may be arbitrarily withheld or delayed. Any such mortgage, encumbrance, lease or sublease or
renewal or extension, assignment, sale or other transfer without the prior written consent of the City
Council of City shall be void and unenforceable. The City Council of City does hereby consent to the
Lease and the terms thereof, but, as provided in the Lease, retains the discretion to approve any Lease
assignment, appointment of appraiser, the amount of the rent in the event of extension, and the
purchase price in the event of a sale of the Property and Personal Property as therein contemplated.
If an event of default described in paragraph 7 hereof shall have happened, and if Foundation has not
remedied the default within ninety (90) days, or if the event of default cannot reasonably be remedied
in ninety (90) days, and if Foundation is not proceeding in an expeditious manner to remedy the
-7-
default, then in either event, Foundation, at City's option, will convey marketable title to the Property
and Personal Property to City or such person or entity as City may designate, in lieu of foreclosure
of the Deed of Trust and /or Security Agreement, by special warranty deed free of all liens and
encumbrances, except the Lease, general taxes for the year in which such conveyance takes place, and
liens and encumbrances created or caused by the acts or defaults of City or the Lessee under the
Lease. The covenants of this paragraph shall be and construed to be covenants running with the land,
and Foundation shall at the request of City execute and record an instrument to that effect in form
and substance approved by the City Attorney.
Events of Default. The following shall be "events of default" under this Agreement
and the term "event of default" and "default" shall mean any one or more of the following events:
(a) Failure of Foundation to deposit into the escrow account any Lease Proceeds
as soon as reasonably possible after receipt by Foundation.
(b) Failure of Foundation to observe and perform any covenant, condition or
agreement on its part to be observed or performed under this Agreement, Deed of Trust or Security
Agreement, other than as referred to in (a) above, for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice
specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied is given to Foundation by City; provided,
however, that if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected within the ninety day period and
corrective action is instituted by Foundation within the ninety day period and diligently pursued until
the failure is corrected, no event of default shall have happened.
IN
C, ,
8. Remedies on Default. Whenever any event of default shall have happened and be

SECTION FIFTEEN
ADDITIONAL RENT

total of six hundred (600) individuals on the Premises. For the
purposes of this agreement full time employee shall be deemed to
mean a person who performs work at the Premises for not less than
thirty -two (32) hours per week whether employed by the Lessee or
by an outside entity acting as an agency to provide full time
employees for the Lessee. Full time employment does not include
independent contractors nor employees of the current occupant who
may remain on the Premises under sublease with the Lessee. The
parties agree that the amount of rent set forth in Section Two
above is substantially less than the fair market value of the
Premises, therefore, the amount of rent set forth in Section Two,
above, will be increased in the event Lessee does not provide
the number of full time employees committed. Lessee has
R
specifically committed to have at least 200 employees working in
full time employment on the Premises by August 1, 2000. By
August 1, 2001, Lessee will have added an additional 200 full
time employees on the Premises and by August 1, 2002 and
thereafter Lessee will have in its employ 600 full time employees
on the Premises.
Lessee will pay to Lessor as additional rent the sum.. of
$89.29 per month for each full time employee not provided by
Lessee during the following months in the numbers stated:
Month
Number of Full TimQ Er•olovees
each month between
8/1/2000 and 7/31/2001 200
each month between
8/1/2001 and 7/31/2002 400
each month after 8/1/2002 600
Such additional rent shall be payable annually in arrears.t
Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar
month, Lessee will submit to Lessor statements showing the number
of employees working in full -time employment on the Premises
during the prior calendar month and computations for the amount
of additional rent, if any, certified by an officer of Lessee to
be true and accurate. For purposes of verifying such employment
Lessor shall have access to Lessee's books and records including
payroll records. Lessor will respect the right of employees and
Lessee as to confidentiality of personnel records. Lessor agrees
to ,comply with all additional laws governing the handling of such
records.
Lessee acknowledges and understands that Lessor's primary
consideration in entering into this Lease is Lessee's providing
the full -time employment as set forth above. The parties
understand that Lessee's ability to employ full -time employees
at the Premises may be subject to factors and conditions outside
of the control of Lessee. In the event that, notwithstanding
Lessee's diligent efforts to meet its Employment Commitment of
full -time employees on the Premises, Lessee is unable to meet the
foregoing commitment d,-e to factors outside of its control,
Lessor, upon written request of the Lessee , will meet with the
Lessee and the City of Pueblo to discuss in good faith whether
the requirements of this Lease with regard to the number of full -
time employees required should be modified or extended. Lessee
understands and agrees that if any such modification results in
Pi
the reduction of the number of full -time employees required of
Lessee under this Lease, the rent provisions contained in Section
Two herein will be increased to reflect any such change.
SECTION SIXTEEN
OPTION TO PURCi-LASE

(i.e. at the end of the initial seven year term of this Lease and
the three year extension period), and providing the Lessee is not
in default, the Lessee shall have an option to purchase the real
property described in Exhibit A and the furniture, fixtures and
equipment, described in Exhibit B, and the property that is the
subject of the revocable permits for its then fair market value.
Lessee's rights to purchase the fiber optic cable and conduit
system shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Fiber
Optic Cable and Conduit System Access and Use Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit "E ". If Lessee desires to exercise the
purchase option Lessee shall give a written notice to Lessor at
least sixty days prior to the end of this Lease term. If Lessor,
Lessee and the City of Pueblo are unable to mutually agree upon
the fair market value then Lessor and Lessee shall engage a
certified commercial real estate appraiser, subject to the
approval of the City of Pueblo, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, to provide the fair market value. The cost
of the appraisal will be shared equally between Lessor and
Lessee. Lessor will then provide, at its expense, a title
insurance commitment for the amount of the purchase price within
thirty days of the determination of the fair market value and
will convey title at closing by Special Warranty Deed and Bill of
Sale. No proration of taxes or rents will be made in connection
with a purchase. If Lessee does not exercise the above option to

option may not be anticipated or exercised in advance of the time
frame set forth above.

and payable forthwith, and failure of Lessee to pay same on
demand shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

three years with the rate and amount of rent to be at the
extension rate set forth in Section Two above. In the event
Lessee wishes to extend the Lease term it shall give written
notice to Lessor at least ninety days before the end of the
primary term of the Lease.cLessor and Lessee will then enter into
discussion about the rate and amount of rent. In the event Lessor
and Lessee do not reach an agreement on the rate and amount of
rent in the proposed extension, or if the City of Pueblo does not
approve the rate and amount of rent, within thirty days before
the end of the primary term of the Lease the Lease will expire at

OF COUNSEL
DAVID C. PARLAPIANO
JAMES W. PRESTON (1876 -1966)
DAVID A. PRESTON (1914 -1973)
As legal counsel for PEDCO Foundation, Inc. (the "Corporation "), I have
reviewed an executed counterpart of the Agreement dated June 28, 1999 between the
City of Pueblo and PEDCO Foundation and such documents, instruments and records
as I have considered relevant. Based upon such examination, and other research and
investigation as I determined necessary, I am of the opinion that:
1. The corporation is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado, is duly qualified to conduct
business in the State of Colorado, and has full power to execute, deliver, and perform
its obligations under the Documents.
2. The execution and delivery of the Documents have been duly
approved by all corporate action of the Corporation. The Documents have been duly
executed on behalf of the Corporation, and the Documents constitute the valid and
legally binding obligation of the Corporation, enforceable against the Corporation in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by the provisions of
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights, generally or by the general principles of equity now or
hereafter in effect.

to the expansion of QualMed's business within the downtown areas of the City of
Pueblo. Pursuant to said agreement, QualMed executed an $800,000.00 Promissory
Note dated January 2, 1992 made payable to the City. On January 2, 1992, QualMed
also executed and delivered to City a Colorado Deed of Trust which was recorded in
the records of the Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder on January 15, 1992 at
Reception No. 964451, Book 2574 at Page 233.
b. On October 26, 1992 the City and QualMed entered into a lease whereby
QualMed leased from the City 72 parking spaces in the City's parking lot located at
Third and Court Streets in Pueblo, Colorado.
C. City and QualMed entered into an agreement dated July 8, 1996 relating
to the further expansion of QualMed's business within the downtown area of the City of
Pueblo. Pursuant to said agreement, QualMed delivered to the City a Colorado Deed of
Trust dated July 17, 1996 which was recorded in the records of the Pueblo County
Clerk and Recorder on July 18, 1996 at Reception No. 1131265, Book 2911 at Page
979.
d. On October 7, 1997, the City and QualMed entered into Addendum No. 1
modifying the July 8, 1996 agreement described in b. above.
e. The City and FHS entered into an agreement dated September 22, 1997
concerning the acquisition of land for the construction of a standby electric generation
facility and Generator Building (310 Court Street).
f. On November 10, 1997, the City granted QualMed a temporary,
conditional off - street parking variance from the 210 parking spaces required for the
building located at 226 W. 4th Street, Pueblo, Colorado.
g. QualMed and FHS represent they are fee owners of the following real
properties located within the downtown area of the City of Pueblo:
Pope Block Buildings (317 N. Main Street)
y'
Generator Building (310 Court Street)
Butler Building (215 W. 2nd Street)
Montgomery Ward /Henkel -Duke Building (225 N. Main Street)
Amherst Building (201 N. Main Street)
Dante's /Doreen's Buildings (215 -217 N. Main Street)
h. QualMed and FHS have made a business decision to phaseout their
operations in Pueblo, Colorado, which will result in the loss of employment in the City's
downtown area.
L City believes that QualMed and FHS's phaseout of business in Pueblo,
Colorado constitutes a breach of QualMed and FHS's agreements with the City which
gives rise to claims against QualMed and FHS. QualMed and FHS deny they have
breached their agreements with the City.
j. QualMed and FHS, based upon preliminary property valuations, have
asserted that the Pope Block Buildings (317 N. Main Street) and the Generator Building
(310 Court Street), including certain fixtures, equipment, and certain furnishings located
in the Buildings (collectively the "Properties ") could have a current fair market value in
excess of $12.9 million.
k. QualMed and FHS are willing to sell the Properties to PEDCO
Foundation, Inc. ( "PEDCO ") in consideration of the sum of $4.5 million and City's
release of its claims and execution of the Mutual Release attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the "Mutual Release ") and to make a gift of the remaining value to PEDCO.
I. PEDCO intends to lease the Properties to Third Party Administrators, Inc.
("TPA ") which plans over a phasein period to maintain the employment levels in the
City's downtown area which may be lost by QualMed and FHS's phaseout of business
in Pueblo, Colorado.
M. Subject to the occurrence of the conditions and contingencies set forth in
Section 2.1 .e. hereof, City is willing to advance $4.5 million to PEDCO for the purchase
of the Properties and execute the Mutual Release for the purposes of maintaining the
economic stability and viability of the City's downtown area and employment within such
area, which purposes constitute matters of public, local and municipal concerns
justifying the expenditure of public funds.
n. There exists within the City a lack of available employment opportunities
which places a public burden upon the City and its citizens. The prevention and
reduction of unemployment and underemployment and the social and economic
hardships associated therewith are proper public purposes and matters of public
concern.
