WHEREAS, Poinciana Parkway has been adopted as part of the Osceola County Comprehensive Plan, Polk County Comprehensive Plan, Orlando Metropolitan Planning Organization Long Range Transportation Plan, and the Lakeland/Winter Haven Urbanized Area Metropolitan Planning Organization 2010 Long Range Transportation Study Cost Feasible Element; and

WHEREAS, Poinciana Parkway, formerly named the “Parker Highway Project,” was identified by the Polk County Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) in its 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan as a proposed new two-lane arterial public road project which would be built by means of a public/private partnership and with private funding; and

WHEREAS, in reliance on this proposed collector public road project connecting Polk County and Osceola County, Polk County has included traffic projections for this road in its long range transportation planning for the northeast section of Polk County and has undertaken and completed construction of capacity improvements to CR54 (Ronald Reagan Parkway) to accommodate traffic from Poinciana Parkway; and

WHEREAS, Poinciana Parkway will create an additional hurricane evacuation route and increase access for public safety and emergency vehicles and enhance the overall development potential of property located not only along the Poinciana Parkway corridor, but throughout Osceola County and Polk County, thus increasing the ad valorem tax base and benefiting the citizens of Osceola County and Polk County; and

WHEREAS, Poinciana Parkway will ease the flow of vehicular traffic within Osceola County and Polk County and provide more direct access from Poinciana to U.S. 17-92 than is currently available and will provide a more convenient and quicker access to Interstate 4 and the Western Beltway, thereby providing the citizens of Osceola County and Polk County (particularly the residents of Poinciana), tourists and other temporary visitors to Osceola County and Polk County a direct connection to the Orlando-area beltway; and

WHEREAS, the Concurrency Agreement further provides that if Avatar fails to comply with the terms and conditions set forth therein (including the timely construction of Poinciana Parkway), the Concurrency Agreement becomes null and void and all aspects of the Vested Property (as defined in the Concurrency Agreement) shall be subject to all transportation concurrency requirements then in effect; and

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the Concurrency Agreement, Avatar and Osceola County entered into a Property Acquisition Agreement, dated December 15, 2006 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which Osceola County agreed to exercise its power of eminent domain for the acquisition of certain property required for the construction of Poinciana Parkway; and

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the Concurrency Agreement and Acquisition Agreement, Avatar and Osceola County entered into a Poinciana Parkway Regulatory Agreement, which has been amended and restated in its entirety by the First Amended and Restated Poinciana Parkway Regulatory Agreement dated as of July 25, 2008, the First Amendment to First Amended and Restated Poinciana Parkway Regulatory Agreement dated as of December 20, 2010, and an Extension Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2012 (collectively, the “Osceola Regulatory Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Avatar has made an extensive, but to date unsuccessful, effort to finance the construction of Poinciana Parkway as a private toll road; and

WHEREAS, on July 1, 2010, the Florida Legislature created the Osceola County Expressway Authority by enactment of CS/CS/CS/HB-1271, codified as Part V, Chapter 348, Florida Statutes; and

WHEREAS, Osceola County, Polk County and Avatar desire to restructure their contractual relationships to accommodate construction and operation of Poinciana Parkway as a continuous collector road beginning in Polk County and terminating in Osceola County in accordance with the terms of this Development Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the funding, construction, operation and maintenance of Poinciana Parkway by Osceola County, Polk County and the Expressway Authority in accordance with the terms of this Development Agreement will enhance the development potential of nearby property owned by Avatar and, together with other considerations set forth in this Development Agreement, is adequate consideration for the Avatar’s agreement to transfer and convey the plans, permits and right-of-way necessary for the construction of Poinciana Parkway, as required by Article III hereof;

Within five days of the Effective Date, Avatar shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption of Construction Plans to the Expressway Authority, in the form attached hereto as Appendix O, assigning all of its contractual, common law, statutory and other rights to and interests in the Avatar Construction Plans, including rights to supporting electronic design files, including ownership, licenses, and copyright, if any, in those documents and other property interests thereto, whether owned directly or by assignment from the Avatar Engineers, without representation or warranty of any kind, except that on a non-exclusive basis and except as otherwise provided and reserved herein. Between the Effective Date of this Development Agreement and the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date, Avatar agrees not to share, provide, sell or assign its contractual, common law, statutory or other rights to and interests on the Avatar Construction Plans as described in this Section 3.01 without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Development Agreement. By its express terms, the assignment shall become exclusive, complete and shall include all rights reserved by Avatar, without further action of the parties, on the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date. In the event that the Development Agreement is terminated because Osceola County fails to issue the Series 2013 Bonds prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date (which may be extended for an additional period of six months at Osceola County’s option) or for any other reason, the Expressway Authority shall promptly upon request of Avatar, reassign all right, title and interest to the Avatar Construction Plans to Avatar. No monetary payment shall be made to Avatar in connection with such assignments and transfers. The Expressway Authority acknowledges and agrees that without the consent of the Avatar Engineers to the foregoing assignment and transfer, the Expressway Authority is not guaranteed to be in privity with or to have the right to hold the Avatar Engineers responsible for any errors or omissions contained in the Avatar Construction Plans.

SECTION 3.02. PERMIT TRANSFERS.

(A) Avatar represents to Osceola County and the Expressway Authority that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise set forth or qualified in this Development Agreement, the Permits are those necessary for the initial design and construction of the Bridge Segment, the Northwest Segment and the Southeast Segment in accordance with the Avatar Construction Plans and that it is unaware of any of any other permits or government approvals necessary for the initial design and construction of the Bridge Segment, the Northwest Segment and the Southeast Segment in accordance with the Avatar Construction Plans.

Avatar and the Expressway Authority shall execute an Assignment and Assumption of Permits, in the form attached hereto as Appendix P. No monetary payment shall be made to Avatar in connection

 

15


with such transfers. On the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date, the Expressway Authority shall assume and agree to pay and perform all obligations under the Permits and related government approvals. Prior to the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date, no application for modification of the Army Corps of Engineers permit described in Appendix E shall be submitted to, or discussed with, the Army Corps of Engineers, by or on behalf of the Expressway Authority, Polk County or Osceola County without the prior written consent of Avatar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Expressway Authority may submit modifications to those South Florida Water Management District permits described on Appendix E hereto prior to the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date and may pursue such modifications up to but not including issuance of the South Florida Water Management District Technical Staff Report or any other action which creates a point of entry under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes.

Further, Avatar will provide the written documents and agreements, if any, that may describe the Unfulfilled Obligations. On the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date, the Expressway Authority shall assume and perform all Unfulfilled Obligations, and related government approvals. The Expressway Authority and Avatar shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption of Unfulfilled Obligations, in the form attached hereto as Appendix Q, relating to the Unfulfilled Obligations.

SECTION 3.04. RIGHT-OF-WAY CONVEYANCE.

(A) Avatar represents to Osceola County, Polk County and the Expressway Authority that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise set forth or qualified in this Development Agreement, the Avatar Construction Plans or the Permits, Appendix D includes the property and property interests necessary for the initial design and construction of the Northwest Segment, the Bridge Segment and the Southeast Segment as a collector road connecting Polk County and Osceola County in accordance with the Avatar Construction Plans and the Permits. It is understood and agreed that the knowledge, belief and awareness of Avatar is restricted to that of Anthony Iorio, PK Fletcher and Reginald Tisdale and that the knowledge, belief or awareness of any other person or entity shall not be imputed to Avatar. At its option, the Expressway Authority may obtain a title insurance commitment (ALTA Form B) from a Florida licensed title insurance issuer covering the property and property interests listed in Appendix D, the Southwest Segment Corridor and the Rhododendron Extension. The cost of the commitment and any ensuing title insurance policy shall be paid by the Expressway Authority. Avatar,

 

16


Osceola County and the Expressway Authority shall timely cooperate with each other to discharge all liens, encumbrances, exceptions and qualifications listed in the commitment. It is understood that Avatar shall have no obligation to expend any funds in connection therewith (other than staff time and, at Avatar’s election, outside counsel fees) and that Avatar is conveying only such interest as it may have in connection with any of such property and interests, in each case in their “As Is, Where Is” condition as of the Effective Date with respect to title and physical condition.

(B) Avatar shall donate right of way for the Northwest Segment, the Bridge Segment and the Southeast Segment, as shown in Appendix D, the Southwest Segment Corridor, as depicted in Appendix G and described in Appendix H and the Rhododendron Extension Corridor, as depicted in Appendix G and described in Appendix I, to Osceola County or Polk County, as appropriate, but only to the extent of the interest therein owned by it as of the Effective Date and subject to the timing requirements of Sections 3.05 and 3.07 hereof. Conveyance shall be by special warranty deed, subject only to those matters as to which title is subject to as of the Effective Date, zoning and taxes and assessments for the year of closing. Avatar shall convey the portion of the right-of-way at the intersection of U.S. 17-92 that is intended for the FDOT to Osceola County rather than to FDOT and Osceola County shall transfer such right-of-way to FDOT when necessary.

(C) No monetary payment shall be made to Avatar in connection with the conveyance of the right of way conveyed pursuant to the foregoing subsections (A) and (B), the Southwest Segment Corridor, the Rhododendron Extension Corridor or property to be conveyed from the Southwest Segment Reservation Area.

In the event that any right-of-way or interest in land is conveyed by Avatar to Osceola County pursuant to the requirements hereof and thereafter becomes permanently unnecessary for the construction of Poinciana Parkway or related avenues of access, appurtenant facilities or future expansions of the Poinciana Parkway in accordance with the Expressway Authority’s 2040 Master Plan (as determined by the Expressway Authority in its reasonable judgment), either because of redesign or construction of Poinciana Parkway separately from the Rhododendron Extension and the Southwest Segment, or because construction of the Rhododendron Extension, then any such excess right-of-way or interest in land, to the extent permitted by law, shall promptly be reconveyed to Avatar upon request.

(D) Avatar shall have the right to reserve, declare, create or impose in the easements or deeds conveying the rights-of-way lying in Osceola County required in this Development Agreement, or to make such conveyances subject thereto, as the case may be, the rights, easements, restrictions and privileges set forth in this subsection, as follows:

(1) Avatar and its affiliates shall be granted the right to construct, operate and maintain underground and overhead crossings for golf carts, vehicles, pedestrians and utilities in connection with the development of Avatar’s adjacent lands. Such facilities

 

17


shall be subject to the approval of the entities owning and operating such portion of the Bridge Segment, the Southwest Segment and the Rhododendron Extension, as the case may be, provided such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and provided that they do not prevent or materially and adversely affect the operation and maintenance of the Bridge Segment, the Southwest Segment or the Rhododendron Extension contemplated by this Development Agreement, including expansion to six lanes, as contemplated by the Design Criteria. Neither Osceola County nor the Expressway Authority shall be responsible for any damage done to said underground or overhead crossings when expanding any portion of the Bridge Section, Southwest Section or Rhododendron Extension.

Any permits required from Osceola County or the Expressway Authority for such tunnels or crossings shall not be conditioned or delayed unreasonably. Further, Avatar shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Osceola County and the Expressway Authority from and against any and all obligations, liabilities, claims or demands, whatsoever arising out of or in connection with the construction, operations, maintenance or use of said tunnels or crossings, except any caused directly and solely by Osceola County or the Expressway Authority.

18


Southeast Segment, the Northwest Segment, the Southwest Segment or the Rhododendron Extension for the ultimate benefit or account of any private party.

(3) The restrictions and covenants set out in subsections 3.05(D)(1) and (2) above shall not apply to rights-of-way lying in Polk County which is to be conveyed to Polk County and/or to FDOT.

In connection with any such shared facility, the parties will enter into a Stormwater Drainage, Construction and Maintenance Easement Agreement in the form attached hereto as Appendix N and made a part hereof.

(3) In the event there is a necessity to avoid materially impacting environmentally sensitive areas, Avatar may construct parallel access roads within the Southwest Segment at its own expense; provided that (a) Osceola County issues a permit for such construction in accordance with its usual practices, which permits shall not be

conditioned or delayed unreasonably; (b) the parallel access roads are consistent with the Design Criteria and do not adversely affect the operation and maintenance of the Southwest Segment; and (c) Avatar removes or relocates the parallel access roads, if necessary to complete expansion of the Southwest Segment to four or six lanes, as contemplated by the Design Criteria.

(D) No payments made by Osceola County as hereinabove provided shall be deemed to signify or imply acceptance of the materials or workmanship covered by such application, and none of them shall operate as an admission on the part of Osceola County as to the propriety or accuracy of any of the amounts entered in the requisitions. Furthermore, when computing subsequent payments, Osceola County shall not be bound by any entries in previous requisitions and shall be permitted to make corrections for errors therein.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 6.01. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT PROVISIONS. To the extent any provision of this Development Agreement constitutes a joint exercise of power, privilege or authority by and between Osceola County, Polk County or the Expressway Authority, such provision shall be deemed to be an “interlocal agreement” within the meaning of the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969. This Agreement shall be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Osceola County and the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Polk County.

SECTION 6.02. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Development Agreement shall begin on (A) the Effective Date, or (B) the date on which Osceola County enacts an ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 06-53 that may have a deferred effective date not later than the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date, whichever occurs last, and terminate on the final maturity date of the Parkway Construction Bonds or the 30th anniversary of the Effective Date, whichever occurs latest; provided however, that if the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date does not occur prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date (which may be extended for an additional period of six months at Osceola County’s option), Avatar shall have the continuing right, exercisable in writing at any time thereafter, to terminate this Development Agreement on not less than ninety days’ notice to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 6.03. PRIOR AGREEMENTS.

(A) Osceola County and Avatar acknowledge that both parties have fully performed their respective obligations under the Acquisition Agreement, which is expressly terminated hereby.

(B) On the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date, Osceola County and Avatar shall execute and deliver a certificate in recordable form confirming termination of the Concurrency Agreement and Osceola Regulatory Agreement. On the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date or the Polk County Funding Date, whichever occurs last, Polk County and Avatar shall execute and deliver a certificate in recordable form confirming termination of the Polk Regulatory Agreement.

(C) If the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date does not occur prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date (which may be extended for an additional period of six months at Osceola County’s option), which Osceola County and Avatar acknowledge as the date described in Section 4.2.2(ii)(y)(b) of the Judge Farms Acquisition Agreement, the deadlines for Avatar to fund and complete construction of Poinciana Parkway, as set forth in the Concurrency Agreement and Osceola Regulatory Agreement shall be extended for an additional period of one year following termination of this Development Agreement. The extension of such deadlines for Avatar to fund and complete construction of Poinciana Parkway shall survive the termination of this Development Agreement.

 

38


SECTION 6.04. VESTED RIGHTS STATUS.

(A) Osceola County and Avatar acknowledge that this Development Agreement has been entered into in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 20 of the Osceola County Land Development Code and constitutes a determination that the Vested Property shall be vested from the transportation concurrency requirements set forth in Chapter 5 of the Osceola County Land Development Code and the Osceola County Comprehensive Land Use Plan, or their respective successors in function, through December 31, 2030.

(B) Osceola County and Avatar further acknowledge that the terms of this Development Agreement and vested rights status do not preclude Osceola County from imposing requirements on projects located within and intended to serve primarily the Vested Property to provide on-site transportation improvements necessary for safety, access, ingress/egress and intersections. The parties acknowledge and agree that the vesting status granted herein is limited to the application of transportation concurrency requirements (or any successor or similar concept until December 30, 2030) to the Vested Property and does not constitute a waiver of Osceola County’s or Avatar’s rights or defenses with respect to any other vested rights claim which may exist.

(C) Other than the transportation concurrency requirements set forth in Chapter 5 of the Osceola County Land Development Code and the Osceola County Comprehensive Land Use Plan, as addressed in this Section, nothing in this Development Agreement shall be construed as a waiver by Avatar of any vested rights other than those relating to transportation concurrency which may exist for the Vested Property, whether such rights are derived from common law, statutory provisions (local, state, or federal), or prior administrative decisions.

(D) Avatar acknowledges and agrees that the execution of this Development Agreement or any activity resulting therefrom does not affect any existing rights to develop the Vested Property in a specific manner, nor does this Development Agreement confer any new or additional development rights upon Avatar.

SECTION 6.05. EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY’S FAILURE TO PERFORM. In addition to any other rights and remedies of the parties provided for in this Development Agreement, if the Expressway Authority fails to perform or observe any covenant or condition to be performed or complied with by the Expressway Authority under this Development Agreement, and the failure continues for thirty days after written notice by Osceola County or any other party to this Development Agreement to the Expressway Authority, or, if the default complained of is not a monetary default and is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be completely cured or remedied within such 30-day period, the Expressway Authority fails to commence to cure the default during the 30-day period, or does not thereafter diligently prosecute such remedy or cure to completion, Osceola County shall perform such covenant or condition and terminate the Expressway Authority’s rights under this Development Agreement and the Lease-Purchase Agreement. The foregoing obligation shall be specifically enforceable by Avatar following the Poinciana Parkway Funding Date.

SECTION 6.06. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other and shall promptly cure any errors or defects in the Development

 

39


Agreement and further agree to approve, execute and deliver such other and further amendments, documents and instruments consistent with this Development Agreement as may be reasonably required to correct any errors or defects or satisfy or comply with the terms and provisions of this Development Agreement, provided, however, no such amendments, documents or instruments shall change the economic terms of the transaction as contemplated by the Development Agreement or expand the obligations or liability of the parties hereunder.

SECTION 6.07. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

(A) The parties agree to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation or performance of this Development Agreement in the manner described in this Section. Any party may initiate the dispute resolution process by providing written notice to the other party.

(B) After transmittal and receipt of a notice specifying the area or areas of disagreement, the parties agree to meet at reasonable times and places, as mutually agreed upon, to discuss the issues.

(C) If discussions between the parties fail to resolve the dispute within sixty days of the notice described in the foregoing subsection (A), the parties shall appoint a mutually acceptable neutral third party to act as a mediator. If the parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, either party may request appointment of a mediator by the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Osceola County, Florida. The mediation contemplated by this subsection is intended to be an informal and non-adversarial process with the object of helping the parties reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement. The decision making shall rest solely with the parties. The mediator shall assist the parties in identifying issues, fostering joint problem-solving, and exploring settlement alternatives. It is understood that any settlement may require approval of Osceola County’s and/or Polk County’s Board of Commissioners.

(D) If the parties are unable to reach a mediated settlement within 120 days of the mediator’s appointment, either party may terminate the settlement discussions by written notice to the other party. In such event, either party may initiate litigation within 120 days of the notice terminating the settlement discussions. Failure by the party initiating the dispute resolution procedure to commence litigation within the 120 day period shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance of the interpretation or performance of the other party.

SECTION 6.08. ASSIGNMENT. None of the parties to this Development Agreement shall be permitted to assign, nor transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Development Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, which shall not be withheld unreasonably.

SECTION 6.09. PROFESSIONAL FEES. Each party shall be responsible for securing its own counsel for representation relative to all matters associated with performance, cancellation or closing hereunder, including any mediation, unless otherwise specified herein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.21(A) hereof, each party shall be responsible for the payment of the fees of its own attorneys and other professional advisors or consultants in connection therewith.

 

40


SECTION 6.10. TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Development Agreement.

SECTION 6.11. EXTENSION OF TIME PERIODS. In the event that the last day of any period of time on any date specified in this Development Agreement shall fall on a weekend or legal holiday, or any day when Osceola County’s offices are closed, such period of time shall be extended through the end of the next work day following, or the next date during which such offices are open.

SECTION 6.12. NO JOINT VENTURE. Nothing in this Development Agreement shall be deemed to constitute the creation of a joint venture or partnership relationship between or among the parties hereto.

SECTION 6.13. NON-WAIVER. The failure of any party to insist upon another party’s compliance with its obligations under this Development Agreement in any one or more instances shall not operate to release such other party from its duties to comply with such obligations in all other instances.

SECTION 6.14. COUNTERPARTS. This Development Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts. Each such counterpart shall be deemed an original of this Development Agreement, so that in making proof of this Development Agreement, it shall only be necessary to produce or account for one such counterpart.

SECTION 6.15. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Development Agreement, including the Appendices and Exhibits, which are incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions of the parties, whether oral or written, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof, except as specifically set forth herein.

SECTION 6.16. LIMITATION OF AVATAR LIABILITY. In consideration of the Avatar Investment and of the donation of the right-of-way for Poinciana Parkway, the Southwest Segment and other donations called for herein or in related agreements, the parties agree that, except in connection with: (A) a wrongful refusal by Avatar to convey the right-of-way for Poinciana Parkway, the Southwest Segment, the Public Safety Site, the Avatar Construction Plans or the Permits; or (B) willful and intentional misrepresentation or warranty hereunder, all liability of Avatar shall first be applied in reduction of the value of the Avatar Investment and that only after the value of the Avatar Investment has been reduced to zero shall Avatar be required to pay any sums hereunder on account of any other default or alleged default.

SECTION 6.17. BINDING EFFECT. This Development Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns and, as applicable, to heirs and legal representatives of the parties hereto.

SECTION 6.18. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Development Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this

 

41


Development Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Development Agreement, whether or not similar, unless otherwise expressly provided.

Whenever this Development Agreement requires or permits any consent, approval, notice, request, proposal, or demand from one party to another, the content, approval, notice, request, proposal, or demand must be in writing to be effective and shall be delivered to and received by the party intended to receive it (A) by hand delivery to the person(s) hereinafter designated, or (B) by overnight hand delivery addressed as follows, or (C) through the United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return-receipt requested, or (D) delivered and received by facsimile telephone transmission or other electronic transmission (provided that an original of the electronically transmitted document is delivered within 5 days after the document was electronically transmitted) upon the date so delivered to and received by the person to whom it is at the address set forth opposite the party’s name below:

Any notice shall be deemed given on the date such notice is delivered by hand or facsimile transmission or 3 days after the date mailed.

SECTION 6.20. SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Development Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Development Agreement shall be revised so as to cure such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision to carry out as nearly as possible the original intent of the parties.

SECTION 6.22. LITIGATION.

(A) In the event of a default hereunder, all parties shall have all rights and remedies allowed by law in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the right to specific performance, subject, however, to notice and right to cure as set forth herein and any other limitation expressly set forth herein. No party shall be in default hereunder unless the other party or parties alleging a default shall have given the party against whom a default is alleged not less than thirty days prior written notice thereof, unless a longer or shorter time for particular matters is set forth herein, in which case such longer or shorter time shall apply, and opportunity to cure, without cure having been effected.

(B) In any action at law or in equity between the parties hereto occasioned by a default hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect its reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred in the action from the non-prevailing party. As used herein, the term “prevailing party” shall mean the party who receives substantially the relief sought. If the prevailing party utilizes “in-house” counsel, such party’s reasonable costs, expenses and overhead for the time expended by the prevailing party for such in-house counsel in the aforementioned action shall be recoverable by the prevailing party in the same manner as other attorneys’ fees.

(C) Each party hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives the right to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation (including but not limited to any counterclaims, cross claims or third party claims), whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, regardless of the cause or causes of action, defenses or counterclaims alleged or the relief sought by any party, and regardless of whether such causes of action, defenses or counterclaims are based on, or arise out of, under or in connection with this Development Agreement or its subject matter, out of any alleged conduct or course of conduct, dealing or course of dealing, statement (whether verbal or written), or otherwise. Any party hereto may file a copy of this Development Agreement with any court as conclusive evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of any right they may have to trial by jury.

RECORD AND RETURN TO:

Robert W. Bowser, Esq.

Greenberg Traurig, P.A.

450 South Orange Avenue, Suite 650

Orlando, Florida 32801

STORMWATER DRAINAGE, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE EASEMENT

AGREEMENT

THIS STORMWATER DRAINAGE, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE EASEMENT AGREEMENT (“Easement Agreement”) is made and entered into this date of                             , 2012 (“Effective Date”), by and between AVATAR PROPERTIES INC., a Florida corporation (“Grantor”) and OSCEOLA COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Florida (“Grantee”) (Grantor and Grantee are sometimes together referred to herein as the “Parties”, and separately as a “Party”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Grantor is the owner in fee simple of that certain real property located in Osceola County, Florida, more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Easement Area”); and

WHEREAS, Grantee intends to construct Poinciana Parkway, an approximately 9.66 mile controlled access road beginning at the existing intersection of County Road 54 and US 17-92 in Polk County, Florida, and terminating in Osceola County, Florida, at Cypress Parkway (CR 580) (the “Project”), pursuant to and further described in that certain Agreement for Development of Poinciana Parkway entered into by and between the Grantor, Grantee, Osceola County Expressway Authority and Polk County dated the          day of                 , 2012 (the “Development Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, all construction of improvements upon the Easement Area shall be in accordance with and pursuant to the construction plans and permits described in the Development Agreement (which construction plans and permits, as may be from time to time amended, are hereinafter the “Construction Plansand “Permits); and

WHEREAS, in order to complete the Project pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Construction Plans and Permits, Grantee requires a perpetual non-exclusive

 

N-1


easement upon, over, across, through, and into the Easement Area for stormwater management purposes; and

WHEREAS, Grantor desires to grant to Grantee a perpetual non-exclusive easement upon, under, across, through and into the Easement Area for stormwater detention and retention and outfall purposes for the Project and for the construction and maintenance of those improvements required by the Construction Plans and Permits for stormwater management purposes within the Easement Area (“Grantee Improvements”), but only as more specifically set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties do hereby agree as follows:

1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

2. Power and Authority of Grantor. The Grantor hereby represents and warrants that it has the full right, power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform this Easement Agreement.

3. Grant of Perpetual Stormwater Drainage, Construction and Maintenance Easement. Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a perpetual, nonexclusive easement upon, over, across, through and into the Easement Area for stormwater detention and retention and outfall purposes for stormwater drainage resulting from the Project, and for the construction and maintenance of the Grantee Improvements in a manner pursuant to, in accordance with and consistent with the Construction Plans and Permits (“Easement”). The Easement shall run with the title to the Easement Area and be binding upon the Grantor and its successors in title to the Easement Area and assigns and is hereby granted to Grantee subject to all matters of record in the Public Records of Osceola County, Florida. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that use of the Easement Area shall be shared by the Grantee with Grantor, Grantor’s successors and assigns and hereby agrees the volume of stormwater detention and retention from the Project shall not exceed the amount sufficient to accommodate the Project, as specified in the Permits.

4. Construction of Grantee Improvements. Grantee shall be responsible, at Grantee’s sole cost and expense, for the engineering, design, permitting, excavation, construction and installation of any and all Grantee Improvements, as well as any proposed modification by Grantee thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the Construction Plans and Permits related to the Easement Area are deemed approved by the Parties hereto and any and all other governmental agencies having jurisdiction thereto and final as of the Effective Date hereof and require no further review or approval by Grantor. Grantor shall have the right to review and approve and Grantor shall be provided with copies of final Construction Plans and Permits related to the Easement Area for any proposed modification to the Grantee Improvements. Grantee shall not modify the Permits related to the Easement Area without the consent of Grantor. In no event shall construction of any such modification commence until the applicable final construction plans are approved by Grantor or such approval has been waived in

 

N-2


writing. Upon receipt of any construction plans relating to any modification of the Grantee Improvements, Grantor shall have a period of fifteen (15) days to review said plans and notify Grantee of any deficiencies therein which must be corrected prior to Grantor’s approval thereof. In the event such plans are not approved and the Grantee is notified of deficiencies within the time required, then Grantor shall have an additional fifteen (15) day period to review any revised plans submitted and to notify Grantee of any further deficiencies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove, in the event Grantor fails to deliver to the Grantee a notice of such deficiencies within such fifteen (15) day period, the plans will be deemed approved. Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that Grantee is entitled to the use of the fill dirt excavated from the Easement Area in connection with the preparation, excavation, construction or installation of the Grantee Improvements (“Fill”) in the amount required for the construction of the Project in a manner pursuant to, in accordance with and consistent with the Construction Plans and Permits (“Required Fill”). In the event that the amount of Fill removed from the Easement Area is in excess of the Required Fill, such Fill shall be deemed “Excess Fill” and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Grantor. All Excess Fill shall be deposited at Grantee’s sole cost and expense and at Grantor’s direction on property owned by Grantor adjacent to or in the vicinity of the Project.

5. Maintenance of Easement Area. Grantee shall maintain the Easement Area and the Grantee Improvements thereupon in good order and repair in accordance with the Construction Plans and Permits and the land development code of the Osceola County, Florida. In the event any required maintenance hereunder is not performed by Grantee in accordance with the foregoing standards, Grantor may deliver a notice to Grantee setting forth the maintenance deficiencies, whereupon Grantee, shall have a period of fifteen (15) days to remedy the deficiencies, or forty-eight (48) hours, in case of emergency. In the event the deficiencies are not remedied in a commercially reasonable fashion within such fifteen (15) day period, or within such forty-eight (48) hour period in case of emergency, Grantor shall have the right to undertake all reasonably necessary maintenance and repair itself and recover from Grantee the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and without limitation of any other rights reserved herein, Grantor, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby reserves the right to erect and install aesthetic development features such as but not limited to landscaping, berms, lighting, screening, fountains, and other features (“Grantor Improvements”) deemed desirable by Grantor over and upon the Easement Area without any requirement for permission or approval by the Grantee, provided, however, that any such Grantor Improvements shall not impair Grantee’s use and maintenance of the Easement Area as contemplated in this Easement Agreement for the purposes set forth herein in the management of stormwater from the Project. All maintenance, repair and replacement of such Grantor Improvements shall be at the sole cost and expense of Grantor; provided, however, in the event that Grantee undertakes any maintenance, repair or replacement within the Easement Area as otherwise required under this Easement Agreement then Grantee shall undertake such maintenance, repair or replacement in such fashion and with such due care as may be necessary to minimize any disturbance of any Grantor Improvements and Grantee shall be responsible for any damage or disturbance caused to the Grantor Improvements in connection therewith.

6. Obligations of the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any rights granted hereunder shall be exercised by the Parties only in accordance and compliance with any and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits and approvals, including but not limited to the Construction Plans and Permits and any future modifications or amendments thereto. The Parties covenant and agree that neither party shall discharge into or within the Easement Area any hazardous or toxic materials or substances, any pollutants, or any other substances or materials prohibited or regulated under any federal, state or local law, ordinance, rule, regulations or permit, except in accordance with such laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and permits.

7. Remedies and Insurance.

(i) In the event of a default hereunder, all parties shall have all rights and remedies allowed by law in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the right to specific performance, subject, however, to notice and right to cure as set forth in the Development Agreement and any other limitation expressly set forth therein. No party shall be in default hereunder unless the other party alleging a default shall have given the party against whom a default is alleged not less than thirty days prior written notice thereof, unless a longer or shorter time for particular matters is set forth in the Development Agreement, in which case such longer or shorter time shall apply, and opportunity to cure, without cure having been effected. In any action at law or in equity between the parties hereto occasioned by a default hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect its reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred in the action from the non-prevailing party. As used herein, the term “prevailing party” shall mean the party who receives substantially the relief sought. If the prevailing party utilizes “in-house” counsel, such party’s reasonable costs, expenses and overhead for the time expended by the prevailing party for such in-house counsel in the aforementioned action shall be recoverable by the prevailing party in the same manner as other attorneys’ fees. Each party hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives the right to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation (including but not limited to any counterclaims, cross claims or third party claims), whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, regardless of the cause or causes of action, defenses or counterclaims alleged or the relief sought by any party, and regardless of whether such causes of action, defenses or counterclaims are based on, or arise out of, under or in connection with this Easement Agreement or its subject matter, out of any alleged conduct or course of conduct, dealing or course of dealing, statement (whether verbal or written), or otherwise.

(ii) Grantor and Grantee hereby covenant and agree that each said Party shall maintain, at its own expense, or cause its contractor to maintain, during the period of any of its construction and maintenance activities contemplated hereunder comprehensive liability insurance underwritten by an insurance carrier with a Best rating equal to or better than A in an amount no less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence for personal injury (including death) and $1,000,000.00 per occurrence for property damage, which policy or policies shall name the other Party hereto as additional insured parties.

8. Limited Public Dedication. Nothing contained in this Easement Agreement shall create or shall be deemed to create any easements or use rights in the general public or constitute a public dedication beyond the rights of the public set forth herein. Dedication of

 

N-4


rights granted herein shall be strictly limited to stormwater detention and retention and outfall purposes from the Project.

9. Beneficiaries of Easement Rights. The Easement set forth in this Easement Agreement shall be for the benefit and use of Grantee, Grantor and their successors in title and assigns, and their agents, employees, consultants, representatives, contractors (and their subcontractors, employees and materialmen), licensees, guests, invitees and providers of emergency services.

10. Amendments and Waivers. This Easement Agreement may not be terminated or amended, modified, altered, or changed in any respect whatsoever, except by a further agreement in writing duly executed by the Parties, or successor(s) in title, and recorded in the Public Records of Osceola County, Florida. No delay or omission of any Party in the exercise of any right accruing upon any default of any Party shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and every such right may be exercised at any time during the continuance of such default. A waiver by any Party of a breach of, or a default in, any of the terms and conditions of this Easement Agreement by any other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of or default in the same or any other provision of this Easement Agreement. No breach of the provisions of this Easement Agreement shall entitle any Party to cancel, rescind or otherwise terminate this Easement Agreement, but such limitation shall not affect, in any manner, any other rights or remedies which any Party may have by reason of any breach of the provisions of this Easement Agreement.

11. Notices. Notices hereunder shall be given to the Parties set forth below and shall be made by hand delivery, facsimile, or overnight delivery. For the purpose of calculating time limits which run from the giving of a particular notice the time shall be calculated from actual receipt of the notice.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

All the foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.

Assignor hereby sells, assigns, conveys, transfers and grants to Assignee all of Assignor’s right, title and interest, and all obligations and liabilities of Assignor arising from and after the date hereof in, to and under, the Permits identified on the attached Exhibit “A”, (collectively, the “Assigned Property”) and Assignee is hereby released of all obligations of Assignor thereunder.
