Property ("Prior Specific Plan") which was repealed by the Council before its effective date.
D. The Town Council previously approved a development agreement for the Property under
Resolution 2004-100 ("Prior Development Agreement"), and the term of the Prior

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual promises and
agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Article 1. Minimum Residential Lot Size.
No residential lot on the Property shall be less than thirty two thousand square feet in size.
Article 2. Environmental Sensitivity and Site Disturbance
2.1. Site Disturbance Restriction. The Owner shall leave no less than sixty percent of the
Property as natural undisturbed open space (NUOS). For purposes of this requirement, disturbed
areas shall include all disturbance within the Property associated with emergency access,
utilities, easements, onsite roadways, constructed drainageways, homesites, driveways
landscaping, and other similar development activity. For purposes of this requirement, any
portion of the existing Camino de Mafiana right of way that is abandoned and revegetated to
standards reasonably acceptable to the Town and Unimproved Trails within NUOS shall be
considered NUOS. Offsite improvements to Moore Road and Thornydale Roads and any water
reservoir site xvithin the Property that is conveyed to a public entity shall be excluded from the
disturbed area and shall be excluded from both the numerator and the denominator for purposes
of calculating both the disturbance area and the total area of the Property. For purposes of this
paragraph the term "Unimproved Trails" means a trail that (i) is no wider than two feet when
originally established and expands through usage and erosion to no more than four feet; (ii) is
revegetated and reestablished with native vegetation and native dirt and rock to a width of two
feet whenever it expands to four feet or more; (iii) has a surface consisting of native dirt and rock

(no decomposed granite or concrete); (iv) is not improved with lighting, garbage receptacles or
benches; and (v) neither accommodates nor permits motorized vehicles of any kind. ..
2.2. Identification of Undisturbed Areas. Before the issuance of any grading permit or other
approval that would otherwise allow the Owner to remove vegetation from the Property, the
Owner shall identify the anticipated NUOS for the current phase of development on such maps
or other documentation as are reasonably acceptable to the Town. NUOS within a residential lot
("Lot") shall be identified on a "Building Envelope Plan" that identifies the limits of
disturbance for each Lot. As development and development approvals occur for the Property,
the specific locations of NUOS, and the maps or other documentation associated with it, may be
modified with the written reasonable consent of the Town Manager, provided that the Owner
shall at all times remain in compliance with paragraph 2.1 above. The NUOS shall be identified,
tracked and managed as follows:
2.2.1. Prior to or upon requesting a building permit for a Lot, the Lot owner shall submit
to the Town a grading plan. The limits of disturbance on the grading plan shall be no greater
than as shown on the Building Envelope Plan.
2.2.2. Any expansion or modifications of structures on a Lot after the initial construction
must comply with the Building Envelope Plan.
2.2.3. If for any reason the NUOS allocated to a Lot or parcel is reduced, the disturbed
areas shall be restored prior to final inspection approval. The materials employed in the
restoration shall be of the same vegetative size/volume and species as the original vegetation
in the area of disturbance. Additionally, the owner of the violated area shall be responsible
for providing additional NUOS within the Property or in a location acceptable to the Town.
The amount of such additional NUOS shall be 100% of the excess disturbance and shall be
reduced to 50% of the excess disturbance area upon compliance with the foregoing
revegetation requirement.
2.2.4. The color of exterior paint on all residential structures shall be muted earth tones.
Exterior paint colors for the main body wall color of a residence shall not exceed a 40%
Light Reflectance Value (LRV) and colors for the trim (including, as applicable, window
frames, doors, and accent color) shall not exceed a 50% LRV.
2.2.5. Walls enclosing the perimeter of a Lot are not permitted and patio walls shall only
be constructed within the disturbed area as shown on the approved Building Envelope Plan.
2.2.6. All domestic animals shall at all times be kept within the enclosed area of the Lot
or under strict control of the animal's owner. Pets outside enclosed areas shall be leashed.
2.2.7. Owner and its successors in interest shall allow access for purposes of monitoring
or protecting the open space identified as Conservation Area under the Specific Plan. Such
access shall be provided to a government agency or a nonprofit corporation established to
monitor or maintain open space under a Habitat Conservation Plan approved by the US Fish
and Wildlife Service.
2.2.8. The developer or builder of any portion of the Property shall install construction
fencing to assure that all NUOS remain in their undisturbed natural state are protected during
construction. Except as specifically modified by the terms of this Agreement, the Owner
shall comply with all Town grading requirements.
{00000408.DOC/2}
TORTOLITA VISTAS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT -3- 12/30/2004 9.'26 AM FJC
2.2.9. NUOS set aside as required by this Article shall be permanently maintained in their
undisturbed natural state.
2.3. Ownership and Control of NUOS. Not later than when construction begins on the last
substantial phase of the Property's development, the NUOS set aside within the Conservation
Areas identified in the Specific Plan and maintained as required by this Article shall be placed in
the permanent ownership and control of (i) one or more homeowners associations established by
declarations of restrictive covenants recorded over all or part of the Property or (ii)at the
Owner's discretion to ·a government or conservation entity the Town reasonably determines is
willing and able to permanently maintain the NUOS as required by this Article. The balance of
the NUOS shall be within residential lots and the homeowners association shall regulate such
NUOS in compliance with this Agreement. The homeowners association shall restrict
development in accordance with the Building Envelope Plan, but may allow variations thereto
provided the area of NUOS is not decreased on an overall basis.
2.4. Compliance with State and Federal Laws and Reeulations. No approval, permit or
authorization of the Town authorizes the Owner to violate any applicable federal or state laws or
regulations, or relieves the Owner from the responsibility to ensure compliance with all
applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including, but not limited to the Endangered
Species Act and Clean Water Act.
Article 3. Development Plans and Subdivision Plats.
3.1. Development/Plat Review. The Property shall be developed in a manner consistent with
the Applicable Town Regulations, which together establish the basic land uses, and the densities,
intensities and development regulations that apply to the land uses authorized for the Property.

permits or approvals for the Property as may be requested by the Owner.

requirements set forth in Title 2 and Title 20 of the Marana Development Code related to

requirements of paragraph 4.1 above, the Town shall not collect any transportation impact fees
for development activities on the Property for a period of seven years after the effective date of
this Agreement. After the seven year period, the Town may collect for development activities on
the Property any transportation impact fees of general application adopted pursuant to &R.S.
{00000408.DOC/2}
TORTOLITA VISTAS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT -4- 12/30/2004 9:26 AM FJC
§ 9-463.05 for the region which includes the Property; provided, however, that as of the seventh
anniversary of this Agreement the Owner shall be given a credit against future transportation
impact fees to the extent the Moore Road Cost exceeds the sum of all of the following:
4.2.1. The product of the number of homes then on the Property multiplied by the then-
adopted transportation impact fee, plus
4.2.2. The total then-adopted transportation impact fee that would be paid if all non-
residential development (if any) located on the Property were required to pay the fee.
4.3. Other Road Improvements. In addition to the roadway improvements addressed
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Owner shall construct such roadway improvements as the
Town reasonably determines are necessary to access the Property from the adjoining public right

and Moore Road.
4.4. Water Service. The Town shall provide Stored Water Credits for the Property and
otherwise facilitate obtaining water service from the City for the Property.
4.5. Fire Protection. Before a certificate of occupancy is issued for any dwelling unit within a
final plat for a portion of the Property, the Owner shall have completed or shall provide evidence
to the Town's satisfaction that Owner has made a diligent effort to complete the process of
having such portion of the Property annexed into a fire district or otherwise provide for fire
protection service in a manner that is acceptable to the Town Representative.
4.6. School Facility Contribution. The Owner or its assignee shall contribute $1,200 per
residential unit ("School Fee") due and payable to the Marana Unified School District upon the
issuance of the residential building permit. In the event that the Town or the Marana Unified

such future fees.
4.7. Regional Public Park/Trail System. The Owner or its assignee shall contribute $1,400
per residential unit ("Park Fee"), due and payable due and payable to the Town upon the
issuance of the residential building permit. The Park Fee shall be utilized by the Town for public

public park and trail facilities within the Property shall be credited towards the Park Fee and levy
of the Park Fee shall commence after all such credits have been utilized.

to conditionally abandon the portion of Camino de Mafiana that runs through the Property.. The
Town shall cooperate with the Owner to effectuate such abandonment. The Town has reserved a
sewer and utility easement within the abandonment area sufficient to facilitate extension of
utilities to the Property and shall maintain such reservation for the benefit of the Property.
Article 5. Cooperation and Alternative Dispute Resolution.
5.1. Appointment of Representatives. To further the commitment of the Parties to cooperate
in the progress of the Development, the Town and the Owner each shall designate and appoint a
representative to act as a liaison between the Town and its various departments and the Owner.
The initial representative for the Town (the "Town Representative") shall be the Development
Services Administrator, and the initial representative for the Owner shall be David Mehl or a
replacement to be selected by the Owner. The representatives shall be available at all reasonable
[00000408.DOC/2]
TORTOLIT,4 VISTAS DEVELOPMENT~4GREEMENT -5- ] 2/30/2004 9:26 AM FJC
times to discuss and review the performance of the Parties to this Agreement and the
development of the Property. ..
5.2. Timing. The Town acknowledges the necessity for prompt review by the Town of all
plans and other materials (the "Submitted Materials") submitted by the Owner to the Town
hereunder or pursuant to any zoning procedure, permit procedure, or other governmental
procedure pertaining to the development of the Property and agrees to use its best efforts to
accomplish such prompt review of the Submitted Materials whenever possible.
5.3. Default; Remedies. If either Party defaults (the "Defaulting Party") with respect to any
of that Party's obligations under this Agreement, the other Party (the "Non-Defaulting Party")
shall be entitled to give written notice in the manner prescribed in paragraph Article 7 to the
Defaulting Party, which notice shall state the nature of the default claimed and make demand that
such default be corrected. The Defaulting Party shall then have (i) twenty days from the date of
the notice within which to correct the default if it can reasonably be corrected by the payment of
money, or (ii) thirty days from the date of the notice to cure the default if action other than the
payment of money is reasonably required, or if the non-monetary default cannot reasonably be
cured within sixty days, then such longer period as may be reasonably required, provided and so
long as the cure is promptly commenced within sixty days and thereafter diligently prosecuted to
completion. If any default is not cured within the applicable time period set forth in this
paragraph, then the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to begin the mediation and arbitration
proceedings set forth in paragraphs 5.4 and 5.5 below. The Parties agree that due to the size,
nature and scope of the Development, and due to the fact that it may not be practical or possible
to restore the Property to its condition prior to Owner's development and improvement work,
once implementation of this Agreement has begun, money damages and remedies at law will
likely be inadequate and that specific performance will likely be appropriate for the enforcement
of this Agreement. This paragraph shall not limit any other rights, remedies, or causes of action
that either party may have at law or in equity.
5.4. Mediation. If there is a dispute under this Agreement which the Parties cannot resolve
between themselves, the Parties agree that there shall be a twenty one day moratorium on
arbitration during which time the Parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute by nonbinding
mediation before commencement of arbitration. The mediation shall be held under the
commercial mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association. The matter in dispute shall
be submitted to a mediator mutually selected by Owner and the Town. If the Parties cannot agree
upon the selection of a mediator within seven days, then within three days thereafter the Town
and the Owner shall request the presiding judge of the Superior Court in and for the County of
Pima, State of Arizona, to appoint an independent mediator. The mediator selected shall have at
least five years' experience in mediating or arbitrating disputes relating to real estate
development. The cost of any such mediation shall be divided equally between the Town and the
Owner. The results of the mediation shall be nonbinding on the Parties, and any Party shall be
free to initiate arbitration after the moratorium.
5.5. Arbitration. After mediation (paragraph 5.4 above) any dispute, controversy, claim or
cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by submission of the
matter by both Parties to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association and the Arizona Uniform Arbitration Act, A.R.S. § 12-501 et seq., and
judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in a court having
jurisdiction.

undisturbed natural state.
2.3. Ownership and Control of NUOS. Not later than when construction begins on the last

Areas identified in the Specific Plan and maintained as required by this Article shall be placed in
the permanent ownership and control of (i) one or more homeowners associations established by
declarations of restrictive covenants recorded over all or part of the Property or (ii) at the
Owner's discretion to'a government or conservation entity the Town reasonably determines is
willing and able to permanently maintain the NUOS as required by this Article. The balance of
the NUOS shall be within residential lots and the homeowners association shall regulate such
NUOS in compliance with this Agreement. The homeowners association shall restrict
development in accordance with the Building Envelope Plan, but may allow variations thereto

protection service in a manner that is acceptable to the Town Representative.
4.6. School Facility Contribution. The Owner or its assignee shall contribute $1,200 per
residential unit ("School Fee") due and payable to the Marana Unified School District upon the
issuance of the residential building permit. In the event that the Town or the Marana Unified
School District adopts an impact fee for schools in the future, the School Fee shall be credited to
such future fees.
4.7. Regional Public Park/Trail System. The Owner or its assignee shall contribute $1,400

5.1. Appointment of Representatives. To further the commitment of the Parties to cooperate !"i

,-,
;::J
The initial representative for the Town (the "Town Representative") shall be the Development 1
Services Administrator, and the initial representative for the Owner shall be David Mehl or a

TORTOLITA VISTAS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT -5- 12/30/20049:26 AM FJC
times to discuss and review the performance of the Parties to this Agreement and the
development of the Property.
5.2. Timing. The Town acknowledges the necessity for prompt review by the Town of all
plans and other materials (the "Submitted Materials") submitted by the Owner to the Town
hereunder or pursuant to any zoning procedure, permit procedure, or other governmental
procedure pertaining to the development of the Property and agrees to use its best efforts to
accomplish such prompt review of the Submitted Materials whenever possible.
5.3. Default; Remedies. If either Party defaults (the "Defaulting Party") with respect to any
of that Party's obligations under this Agreement, the other Party (the "Non-Defaulting Party")
shall be entitled to give written notice in the manner prescribed in paragraph Article 7 to the
Defaulting Party, which notice shall state the nature of the default claimed and make demand that
such default be corrected. The Defaulting Party shall then have (i) twenty days from the date of
the notice within which to correct the default if it can reasonably be corrected by the payment of
money, or (ii) thirty days from the date of the notice to cure the default if action other than the
payment of money is reasonably required, or if the non-monetary default cannot reasonably be
cured within sixty days, then such longer period as may be reasonably required, provided and so
long as the cure is promptly commenced within sixty days and thereafter diligently prosecuted to
completion. If any default is not cured within the applicable time period set forth in this
paragraph, then the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to begin the mediation and arbitration
proceedings set forth in paragraphs 5.4 and 5.5 below. The Parties agree that due to the size,
nature and scope of the Development, and due to the fact that it may not be practical or possible
to restore the Property to its condition prior to Owner's development and improvement work,
once implementation of this Agreement has begun, money damages and remedies at law will
likely be inadequate and that specific performance will likely be appropriate for the enforcement
of this Agreement. This paragraph shall not limit any other rights, remedies, or causes of action
that either party may have at law or in equity.
5.4. Mediation. If there is a dispute under this Agreement which the Parties cannot resolve
between themselves, the Parties agree that there shall be a twenty one day moratorium on
arbitration during which time the Parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute by nonbinding
mediation before commencement of arbitration. The mediation shall be held under the
commercial mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association. The matter in dispute shall
be submitted to a mediator mutually selected by Owner and the Town. If the Parties cannot agree
upon the selection of a mediator within seven days, then within three days thereafter the Town
and the Owner shall request the presiding judge of the Superior Court in and for the County of
Pima, State of Arizona, to appoint an independent mediator. The mediator selected shall have at
least five years' experience in mediating or arbitrating disputes relating to real estate I~i
development. The cost of any such mediation shall be divided equally between the Town and the ,u.
:~~::
Owner. The results of the mediation shall be nonbinding on the Parties, and any Party shall be .~jl
Ei
free to initiate arbitration after the moratorium. !:!
5.5. Arbitration. After mediation (paragraph 5.4 above) any dispute, controversy, claim or lS'l
-',
cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by submission of the :3t
::/
matter by both Parties to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American 1:)
,-"
!.-:~
Arbitration Association and the Arizona Uniform Arbitration Act, A.R.S. 9 12-501 et seq., and .".
judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in a court having

Article 2. Environmental Sensitivity and Site Disturbance
2.1. Site Disturbance Restriction. The Owner shall leave no less than sixty percent of the
Property as natural undisturbed open space (NUOS). For purposes of this requirement, disturbed
areas shall include all disturbance within the Property associated with emergency access,
utilities, easements, onsite roadways, constructed drainageways, homesites, driveways
landscaping, and other similar development activity. For purposes of this requirement, any
portion of the existing Camino de Manana right of way that is abandoned and revegetated to t
r,''':~
standards reasonably acceptable to the Town and Unimproved Trails within NUOS shall be ~~::;
n!~l
considered NUOS. Offsite improvements to Moore Road and Thornydale Roads and any water f::1
reservoir site within the Property that is conveyed to a public entity shall be excluded from the :::1
disturbed area and shall be excluded from both the numerator and the denominator for purposes 1:::1
of calculating both the disturbance area and the total area of the Property. For purposes of this ~"F~
1,;~)i
!::l
paragraph the term "Unimproved Trails" means a trail that (i) is no wider than two feet when 1;;1
originally established and expands through usage and erosion to no more than four feet; (ii) is J"I\~

I
(no decomposed granite or concrete); (iv) is not improved with lighting, garbage receptacles or
benches; and (v) neither accommodates nor permits motorized vehicles of any kind.
2.2. Identification of Undisturbed Areas. Before the issuance of any grading permit or other
approval that would otherwise allow the Owner to remove vegetation from the Property, the
Owner shall identify the anticipated NUOS for the current phase of development on such maps
or other documentation as are reasonably acceptable to the Town. NUOS within a residential lot
("Lot") shall be identified on a "Building Envelope Plan" that identifies the limits of
disturbance for each Lot. As development and development approvals occur for the Property,
the specific locations of NUOS, and the maps or other documentation associated with it, may be
modified with the written reasonable consent of the Town Manager, provided that the Owner
shall at all times remain in compliance with paragraph 2.1 above. The NUOS shall be identified,
tracked and managed as follows:
2.2.1. Prior to or upon requesting a building permit for a Lot, the Lot owner shall submit
to the Town a grading plan. The limits of disturbance on the grading plan shall be no greater
than as shown on the Building Envelope Plan.
2.2.2. Any expansion or modifications of structures on a Lot after the initial construction
must comply with the Building Envelope Plan.
2.2.3. If for any reason the NUOS allocated to a Lot or parcel is reduced, the disturbed
areas shall be restored prior to final inspection approval. The materials employed in the
restoration shall be of the same vegetative size/volume and species as the original vegetation
in the area of disturbance. Additionally, the owner of the violated area shall be responsible
for providing additional NUOS within the Property or in a location acceptable to the Town.
The amount of such additional NUOS shall be 100% of the excess disturbance and shall be
reduced to 50% of the excess disturbance area upon compliance with the foregoing
revegetation requirement.
2.2.4. The color of exterior paint on all residential structures shall be muted earth tones.
Exterior paint colors for the main body wall color of a residence shall not exceed a 40%
Light Reflectance Value (LRV) and colors for the trim (including, as applicable, window
frames, doors, and accent color) shall not exceed a 50% LRV.
2.2.5. Walls enclosing the perimeter of a Lot are not permitted and patio walls shall only
be constructed within the disturbed area as shown on the approved Building Envelope Plan.
2.2.6. All domestic animals shall at all times be kept within the enclosed area of the Lot
or under strict control of the animal's owner. Pets outside enclosed areas shall be leashed.
2.2.7. Owner and its successors in interest shall allow access for purposes of monitoring
or protecting the open space identified as Conservation Area under the Specific Plan. Such 1
~~;~:
access shall be provided to a government agency or a nonprofit corporation established to i!::ll
monitor or maintain open space under a Habitat Conservation Plan approved by the US Fish f'
:;;i
and Wildlife Service. ~::l
2.2.8. The developer or builder of any portion of the Property shall install construction t~;;~

the NUOS shall be within residential lots and the homeowners association shall regulate such
NUOS in compliance with this Agreement. The homeowners association shall restrict
development in accordance with the Building Envelope Plan, but may allow variations thereto
provided the area ofNUOS is not decreased on an overall basis.

to the Town's satisfaction that Owner has made a diligent effort to complete the process of

protection service in a manner that is acceptable to the Town Representative.
4.6. School Facility Contribution. The Owner or its assignee shall contribute $1,200 per
residential unit ("School Fee") due and payable to the Marana Unified School District upon the
issuance of the residential building permit. In the event that the Town or the Marana Unified
School District adopts an impact fee for schools in the future, the School Fee shall be credited to
such future fees.

5.1. Appointment of Representatives. To further the commitment of the Parties to cooperate :::1
in the progress of the Development, the Town and the Owner each shall designate and appoint a 1);1
representative to act as a liaison between the Town and its various departments and the Owner. J'~
~,,~~
if:1
The initial representative for the Town (the "Town Representative") shall be the Development 1;;1
'"~

Services Administrator, and the initial representative for the Owner shall be David Mehl or a ,~:~

{00000408.DOC 12}
TORTOLITA VISTAS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT -5- 12/30/2004 9:26AM FJC
times to discuss and review the performance of the Parties to this Agreement and the
development of the Property.
5.2. Timing. The Town acknowledges the necessity for prompt review by the Town of all
plans and other materials (the "Submitted Materials") submitted by the Owner to the Town
hereunder or pursuant to any zoning procedure, permit procedure, or other governmental
procedure pertaining to the development of the Property and agrees to use its best efforts to
accomplish such prompt review of the Submitted Materials whenever possible.
5.3. Default; Remedies. If either Party defaults (the "Defaulting Party") with respect to any
of that Party's obligations under this Agreement, the other Party (the "Non-Defaulting Party")
shall be entitled to give written notice in the manner prescribed in paragraph Article 7 to the
Defaulting Party, which notice shall state the nature of the default claimed and make demand that
such default be corrected. The Defaulting Party shall then have (i) twenty days from the date of
the notice within which to correct the default if it can reasonably be corrected by the payment of
money, or (ii) thirty days from the date of the notice to cure the default if action other than the
payment of money is reasonably required, or if the non-monetary default cannot reasonably be
cured within sixty days, then such longer period as may be reasonably required, provided and so
long as the cure is promptly commenced within sixty days and thereafter diligently prosecuted to
completion. If any default is not cured within the applicable time period set forth in this
paragraph, then the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to begin the mediation and arbitration
proceedings set forth in paragraphs 5.4 and 5.5 below. The Parties agree that due to the size,
nature and scope of the Development, and due to the fact that it may not be practical or possible
to restore the Property to its condition prior to Owner's development and improvement work,
once implementation of this Agreement has begun, money damages and remedies at law will
likely be inadequate and that specific performance will likely be appropriate for the enforcement
of this Agreement. This paragraph shall not limit any other rights, remedies, or causes of action
that either party may have at law or in equity.
5.4. Mediation. If there is a dispute under this Agreement which the Parties cannot resolve
between themselves, the Parties agree that there shall be a twenty one day moratorium on
arbitration during which time the Parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute by nonbinding
mediation before commencement of arbitration. The mediation shall be held under the
commercial mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association. The matter in dispute shall
be submitted to a mediator mutually selected by Owner and the Town. If the Parties cannot agree
upon the selection of a mediator within seven days, then within three days thereafter the Town
and the Owner shall request the presiding judge of the Superior Court in and for the County of
Pima, State of Arizona, to appoint an independent mediator. The mediator selected shall have at
least five years' experience in mediating or arbitrating disputes relating to real estate
development. The cost of any such mediation shall be divided equally between the Town and the 1
Ji""~
Owner. The results of the mediation shall be nonbinding on the Parties, and any Party shall be ,~:
Ji~t
free to initiate arbitration after the moratorium. f"
:::1
:::1
5.5. Arbitration. After mediation (paragraph 5.4 above) any dispute, controversy, claim or ISI
cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by submission of the :::;;
matter by both Parties to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American r
'"'~
,.,~
Arbitration Association and the Arizona Uniform Arbitration Act, A.R.S. ~ 12-501 et seq., and ISf

judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in a court having

party shall be deemed to have drafted this Agreement for purposes of construing any portion of

condition of this Agreement by reason of "force majeure," then the failure to observe or perform

causing such inability and such event or condition can be cured within a reasonable amount of
time. "Force majeure," as used in this paragraph, means any condition or event not reasonably
