CONSTRUCTION COVENANTS
1. Introduction
Pueblo, a Municipal Corporation ( "City "), owns substantial real estate adjacent to, and in
the vicinity of, the land being conveyed by the deed to which these Construction Covenants (the
"Covenants ") are attached and made a part of (the "Deed "), which land City anticipates developing
as part of its Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo development (such land owned by City is
referred to as the "HARP Development"). It is essential to the HARP Development that the land
being conveyed by the attached Deed (the "Property") be timely developed in a manner consistent
with the overall HARP Development. Consequently, these Covenants are hereby placed on the
Property.
2. Applicability
These Covenants apply to the Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo, Colorado ( "Buyer "), to
all of the Property and to any individual or entity having any interest in the Property after the date
of the attached Deed. These Covenants supplement the Protective Covenants that are also
attached to this Deed, the terms of which are also binding upon Buyer and subsequent owners,
occupants or others with an interest in the Property.
3. Time to Commence Construction
3.1 Construction Within eight (8) months after the date of this Deed, or such later
date as City may designate by instrument filed for record in the office of the Pueblo County Clerk
and Recorder, construction shall have commenced on the Property. Commencement of
construction is defined as building permits having been obtained from the Pueblo Regional
Building Department and foundations having been poured for permanent improvements that have
been approved by the City's Department of Public works and the HARP Authority. All building
permits and construction shall be according to development plans that have been approved by
City's Department of Public Works and the HARP Authority as required by the Protective
Covenants. Buyer will promptly notify City and the HARP Authority when it obtains the required
building permits and when the foundations have been poured.
3.2 Acknowledement of Compliance All building permits and construction shall be in
accordance with development plans which have been approved by the Architectural Review
Board, City Council and the HARP Authority as required by the Protective Covenants. After
commencement of construction as required by Section 3.1 above, and if requested by Buyer, City
shall execute and deliver a writing duly signed and acknowledged stating that construction has been
so commenced and releasing City's right to repurchase the Property pursuant to Section 6.1 below
on account of failure to commence construction.
4. Completion of Construction
Construction of the improvements, once commenced, shall be diligently pursued.
Construction will commence as soon as possible after closing. After construction has commenced,
if no substantial construction is performed on uncompleted improvements for a period of six
consecutive months (unless such delay is caused by one or more of the events listed in Section 5
below), then City shall have the right to repurchase all of the Property, together with all
improvements located on it. City shall also have the right to repurchase all of the Property,
including improvements, if any building on the Property on which construction has commenced
has not been substantially completed within one year after commencement of construction. A
building shall be deemed substantially completed if the Pueblo Regional Building Department has
issued a certificate of occupancy for the building. The repurchase shall be on the terms provided
in Section 6 below.
5. Unavoidable Delays
In the event the obligation to obtain building permits, commence construction or complete
construction in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 shall be unavoidably delayed by
fire, flood, drought or other act of God; strikes or material shortages; war or national emergency;
governmental impositions, including building permit moratoria and utility moratoria (but not
including failure to obtain governmental approvals of development plans); or other similar cause
beyond the reasonable control of Buyer, then the period of time prescribed for performance of
such obligations shall be extended for periods equivalent to the periods of such unavoidable
delays, provided that within 30 days of the occurrence of such unavoidable delay City shall have
received notice of the cause thereof, and that at the end of each such period of unavoidable delay
City shall have received notice of the period by which times for performance of such obligations
are required to be extended.
6. Repurchase
Failure to comply with the provisions of either Section 3 or Section 4 shall be an event of
default under these Covenants. An event of default shall, in addition to any other remedy it may
have, entitle City to repurchase the Property from Buyer as follows:
6.1 Before Construction Commences If construction has not been commenced on
the Property, the "Repurchase Price" shall be for Lot 3 - $99,371.00, and for Lot 4 - $108,612.00,
Block 1, Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Project, Filing One.
6.2 After Construction has Commenced If construction has commenced on the
Property, the Repurchase Price shall be the amount determined by Section 6.1 plus Buyer's
"Direct Costs." "Direct Costs" are the actual direct costs of labor and materials incorporated into
the improvements located on the Property, exclusive of any compensation for architects,
engineers, executives, office or supervisory employees of Buyer, and exclusive of construction loan
interest and Buyers general overhead. Upon City's delivery of a Notice of Default as provided in
Section 6.3 below, Buyer will, within 30 days after such Notice of Default, give City an accounting
0
of Direct Costs, together with such documents as City may request substantiating this accounting
(such as bills, invoices, construction loan draw requests, copies of checks, and similar documents
and verifications).
6.3 Notice of Default If City believes Buyer is in default of its obligations to
commence or complete construction under Section 3 or Section 4 above, it shall, within 30 days
after it believes such default occurred, deliver to Buyer a notice stating the default (the "Notice of
Default"), together with a request for an accounting of Buyer's Direct Costs, as specified in Section
6.2 above. Failure of City to give the Notice of Default shall terminate City's repurchase rights
under this Section 6 on account of that specific default. If Buyer believes it is not in default, it
shall, within 5 calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Default, deliver to City a notice stating
why it believes it is not in default, and if no such -notice is delivered, it shall be conclusively
presumed that Buyer is in default as specified in the Notice of Default.
6.4 Notice of Exercise If City has delivered the Notice of Default required by Section
6.3, and if Buyer is in default as specified in that Notice, then City shall have the right to
repurchase the Property and the improvements located thereon by delivering to Buyer a notice
stating City intends to repurchase (this notice is called "Exercise'). If City has not Exercised on or
before:
(a) sixty days after the Notice of Default was delivered if the default occurred
prior to commencement of construction, or
(b) sixty days after the accounting of Direct Costs (together with supporting
documents) was delivered to City pursuant to Section 6.2 if the default occurred
after commencement of construction, then
City's right to repurchase contained in this Section 6 on account of the matters specified in the
Notice of Default shall terminate.
6.5 Closine Closing of the repurchase shall be at a time and place selected by City, but
in no event later than 30 days after Exercise. At closing:
(a) Buyer shall deliver an updated title commitment and its general warranty
deed transferring title to the Property (including all improvements and appurtenant
easements, if any), to City. This general warranty deed shall be subject only to the
matters set forth in the Deed and existing on the date of the Deed to which these
Covenants are attached, exclusive of any such matters that arose from Buyer's
activity with respect to the Property. Within 10 days after the closing, Buyer shall,
at its expense, deliver to City a title insurance policy issued by Transnation Title
Insurance Company ("Title Company'), insuring marketable tide to the Property in
City in the amount of the Repurchase Price. The title policy shall be subject only to
3
the same exceptions included in Buyers deed. The standard printed exceptions
contained in Title Company's title policies shall be deleted.
(b) City shall pay the Repurchase Price to the following persons in the following
order:
(1) persons lawfully claiming mechanic's liens pursuant to section 38 -22 -101
etseq, C.R.S.
(2) persons having a valid mortgage, deed of trust lien, or security interest
on the Property or Improvements or any part thereof.
(3) Buyer
(c) The Repurchase Price shall be adjusted for real property taxes prorated to
the date of the closing of the repurchase based on the most recently available
assessment and mill levy.
6.6 Continuation of Right If City fails to give a Notice of Default or to Exercise, and,
consequently, City's right to repurchase on account of that default expires, such expiration shall not
affect City's right to repurchase arising from subsequent events of default under the provisions of
these Covenants.
7. Land Beneficed
These Covenants shall run with and burden the property and are for the benefit of City
and all land owned by City in the HARP Development. These Covenants shall be enforceable
only by City and its specific assigns pursuant to Section 11.2 below.

consecutive months (unless such delay is caused by one or more of the events listed in Section 5
below), then City shall have the right to repurchase all of the Property, together with all
improvements located on it. City shall also have the right to repurchase all of the Property,
including improvements, if any building on the Property on which construction has commenced

why it believes it is not in default, and if no such notice is delivered, it shall be conclusively
presumed that Buyer is in default as specified in the Notice of Default.
6.4 Notice of Exercise If City has delivered the Notice of Default required by Section
6,3, and if Buyer is in default as specified in that Notice, then City shall have the right to
repurchase the Property and the improvements located thereon by delivering to Buyer a notice
stating City intends to repurchase (this notice is called "Exercise "). If City has not Exercised on or
before:
(a) sixty days after the Notice of Default was delivered if the default occurred
Prior to commencement of construction, or
(b) sixty days after the accounting of Direct Costs (together with supporting
documents) was delivered to City pursuant to Section 6.2 if the default occurred
after commencement of construction, then

Notice of Default shall terrinate.

matters set forth in the Deed and existing on the date of the Deed to which these

on the Property or Improvements or any part thereof.
(3) Buyer
(c) The Repurchase Price shall be adjusted for real property taxes prorated to
the date of the closing of the repurchase based on the most recently available
assessment and mill levy.
6.6 Continuation of Right If City fails to give a Notice of Default or to Exercise, and,
consequently, City's right to repurchase on account of that default expires, such expiration shall not
affect City's right to repurchase arising from subsequent events of default under the provisions of
these Covenants.

6.1 Obligation to Maintain Improvements All Improvements constructed on the
Property shall be maintained, or caused to be maintained, by the owner thereof in first -class
condition. Such maintenance shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, repairing any
structural damage to or defects in Improvements, keeping the exteriors of any Improvements on
the Property in first class condition, including painting as required, maintaining in good condition
and repair all landscaping, walks, streets and parking facilities on the Property, keeping vehicular
and pedestrian areas free from accumulations of snow and ice, keeping the Property free of trash
and debris, and keeping all signs and lighting on the Property clean and functional. At all times,
but particularly during construction, the Property owner shall control noxious weeds and fugitive
dust in accordance with applicable governmental requirements and shall keep adjacent sidewalks,
streets and roads free from accumulations of mud, dirt and debris originating on the Property.
The owner of Improvements shall maintain at all times at its cost and in full force and effect "all
risk" casualty insurance (including without limitation flood and earthquake coverage to the extent
reasonably available), for not less than 100% of the replacement value of the Improvements. In
the event of damage thereto or destruction thereof, the owner of the Improvements shall proceed
forthwith to repair, reconstruct, and restore the damaged or destroyed portions of such
Improvements to substantially the same condition and value as existed prior to such damage or
destruction, applying for such purposes all the proceeds of such casualty insurance to the payment
or reimbursement of the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration.
6.2 City's Right to Maintain Improvements If City, in good faith, reasonably
determines any portion of the Property or the Improvements located thereon are not being
maintained or repaired in the manner specified in Section 6.1 above, City shall give the owner
thereof, or the person occupying the portion of the Property involved, a written notice specifying
the maintenance or repairs which City determines is required under these Covenants. If the
maintenance or repairs specified in such notice is not satisfactorily performed within thirty days
3
after delivery of such notice, or within such longer time as City reasonably determines is required
to perform such maintenance or repair, City shall thereafter have the right, but not the obligation,
to perform such maintenance or repair and to enter any of the Property and perform any acts
reasonably necessary to complete such maintenance or repairs. City shall not be liable for any
losses, costs or damages to any tenant or owner of the Property on account of its performance of
such maintenance or repairs, except for any such loss, cost or damage caused by City's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. City may delegate its maintenance rights hereunder to the HARP
Authority.
6.3 Reimbursement and Lien In the event City elects to perforce maintenance or
repairs pursuant to section 6.2 above, the City will submit to the owner or the tenant of the
Property upon which or for whose benefit such maintenance or repairs was performed, a written
statement of the costs incurred by the City in performing the maintenance or repairs. These costs
shall be paid to the City within twenty days after receipt of such notice. If the City's costs have not
been paid after expiration of this twenty-day period, the City may thereafter record a lien against
the Property for all costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the City in performing
the maintenance or repairs and in collecting such costs and foreclosing upon the lien. Such lien
shall be junior to all other liens or encumbrances of record with respect to the Property on the
date the lien is recorded. The lien and the lien described in Section 6.4 may thereafter be
foreclosed upon in the manner provided by Colorado law for foreclosing upon real estate
mortgages. This lien shall provide that all sums expended by the City or the HARP Authority in
foreclosing the lien and collecting the amounts due City or the HARP Authority (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be additional indebtedness secured by such lien.
6.4 Common Area Maintenance Expenses The Owner of the Property shall pay, in
the amount set forth below, a common area maintenance charge to the HARP Authority to
partially pay for maintaining and promoting the common areas and the public improvements in
the HARP Development which shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of: ` gardening and
maintaining the landscaping; operating and maintaining the HARP Channel and identification
signs; replacing plants and planters; providing seasonal and holiday decorations; painting;
lighting; resurfacing; repairing utility service lines in the common areas; clearing and removing
snow, trash, rubbish, garbage and other refuse; paying interest on any funds advanced; providing
personnel to implement such services and paying for administrative expenses. The HARP
Authority will use all funds so collected to provide for the aforedescribed maintenance.
To compensate the HARP Authority for providing such maintenance and promoting the
common areas, and public improvements in the HARP Development, the Owner of the Property
shall pay the amount of $1.09 per square foot per year for each square foot of gross building
area under roof in each building located on the Property. Payment of the common area
maintenance expenses shall begin on the first day of the month following the month in which a
temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy is issued for each building located on the
Property ( "Commencement Date "). Monthly payments of 1 /12th the total amount due shall be
made on the first day of each month. The common area maintenance charge shall remain the
same for two years from the Commencement Date. Thereafter (beginning with the start of the
third year), the common area maintenance charge shall be annually increased by the larger of
4
five percent (5 %) or the percentage increase, if any, in the U.S. Consumer Price Index for All
Items - Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers ( "CPI -W ") (base year 1982 -1984 - 100) (the
"Index "). If the Index changes so the first year differs from that used in this Section, the Index
shall be converted according to the conversion factor published by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, to the 1982 -84 base. If the Index is discontinued or
revised, such other governmental index or computation which replaces it shall be used to obtain
substantially the same result as would be obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or
revised.
The Index published nearest to the first payment of the Common Area maintenance
charge shall be the Beginning Index. The Index published nearest the Adjustment Date shall be
the Adjustment Index. The Adjustment Date shall be the first day of the third (3rd) year of
paying common area maintenance charges and every year thereafter.
The base common area maintenance charges shall be adjusted as follows:
On each Adjustment Date, the base common area maintenance charge shall be adjusted
by multiplying the initial base common area maintenance charge under these Covenants by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable Adjustment Index and the denominator of
which is the Beginning Index.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the common area maintenance charge
shall be waived for the first year following Commencement Date and shall be fixed for the
second and third year following Commencement Date as follows: second year - $0.54 per square
