Box 2150, Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81602, hereafter called "Holy Cross". WHEREAS, Holy Cross has been requested by Owner to provide underground electric facilities, hereinafter called "Facilities", to serve a project known as Eagle County Fairgrounds Pavilion, hereinafter called "Project"; and, WHEREAS, Owner is required to provide all excavation, conduit and vault installation, backfill, compaction and cleanup needed to construct said requested Facilities; and, WHEREAS, Owner owns real property described as follows: A parcel of land situate in Section 5, Township 5 South, Range 84 West of the 6th P.M., as more fully described in that particular Quit Claim Deed recorded in Book 570, at Page 593, in the records of the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office, Eagle, Colorado, hereinafter called "Property", which Property is the real property where the Project is being developed; and, WHEREAS, installation of Facilities to serve the Project may require trenching or other excavation on certain real property adjacent to the Project described as follows: Not Applicable , hereinafter called "Adjacent Land".

Wherever possible, this separation will be horizontal. The Facilities conduit separation from plastic gas lines shall be greater than this minimum wherever practicable. e. Holy Cross will supply the necessary conduit and vaults for installation by the Owner upon completion of contractual arrangements.

After installation by the Owner and acceptance by Holy Cross, Holy Cross shall continue as the owner of the conduit, vaults and related structures and facilities. f. If conduit and/or vault installation provided by Owner for the Project are found to be unusable or improperly constructed, irrespective of whether such discovery is made during or after installation, Owner will be responsible for correcting said problems at its expense as specified by Holy Cross and Owner shall reimburse Holy Cross for all additional costs resulting from conduit and/or vault installation being unusable or improperly constructed. 2.

Owner shall repair all damage caused during excavation promptly and at its expense. No excavation will be undertaken within five (5) feet of existing underground electric facilities except under the on site supervision of a qualified Holy Cross employee. 4. Owner shall indemnify, save, and hold harmless Holy Cross, its employees and agents, against any and all loss, liability, claims, expense, suits, causes of action, or judgments for damages to property or injury or death to persons that may arise out of work performed hereunder, or because of a breach of any of the promises, covenants and agreements herein made by the Owner. Owner shall promptly defend Holy Cross whenever legal proceedings of any kind are brought against it arising out of work performed hereunder. In the event Owner shall fail to promptly defend Holy Cross, it shall be liable to Holy Cross, and shall reimburse it, for all costs, expenses and attorney fees incurred in defending any such legal proceeding. Owner agrees to satisfy, pay, and discharge any and all judgments and fines rendered against Holy C~oss arising out of any such proceedings. Owner also agrees to promptly satisfy and pay any monetary settlements of disputes that arise hereunder, provided Owner has been given the opportunity to join in such settlement agreements. The above indemnification clause shall not apply to state and local governments or local service districts. In lieu thereof, whenever Owner is a government or district it shall procure and maintain in effect at least $1,000,000 of public liability insurance covering the acts, damages and expenses described in the above indemnification clause. Upon Holy Cross' request, such a Owner shall furnish a Certificate of Insurance verifying the existence of such insurance coverage. 5. Owner shall repair, at its expense, any excavation settlement and damage to asphalt paving or other surface improvements caused by such settlement resulting from work performed hereunder within the Property and Adjacent Land for a period of two (2) years beginning on the date backfill and cleanup are completed. 6. Owner, at its expense, shall stop the growth of thistles and/or other noxious weeds in all areas disturbed by excavation performed hereunder for a period of two (2) years beginning on the date backfill and cleanup are completed. 7.
