Project Pipeline Review

semi-annual review meeting will be paid by MVWC. The goals of this review are:

 

  •  

Ensure alignment of required reviews and schedules

Review Categories

In recognition of the varying degree of project scopes, complexities and
impacts, all MVWC renovation and refurbishment projects will be subject to one
of three processes with MII (as defined below). All MVWC projects will be
tracked via a project planning matrix. The planning matrix or matrices will
track all villa/unit projects and any supplemental projects. The matrices will
track key milestone dates and any requests for approval/approvals as it relates
to the Addendum. The below sets out agreement between MII and MVWC with respect
to the processes for those different types of projects at the Projects.

Processes

 

A. The following types of projects at the Projects will follow the current
review process outlined under Sections 2, 3 and 4, as applicable, of the

those projects at Existing Projects for which the condominium owners association
at such Existing Projects have hired a third-party project manager or director
and neither MVWC nor MII are engaged by the Association for such project work.

The termination of this Letter Agreement shall coincide with the termination of
the License Agreement.

Other than as specifically and expressly set forth herein, nothing in this
Letter Agreement shall be deemed to supersede, waive any rights, claims, demands
or release MII or MVWC from any duties or obligations set forth in the License
Agreement or to otherwise modify the License Agreement and Addendum.
