Minimum Improvements, regardless of whether the net proceeds of insurance received by the
Developer or Lessee for such purposes are sufficient to pay for the same. Any net proceeds
remaining after completion of such repairs, construction, and restoration shall be the property of the
Developer or Lessee, as applicable.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event
of damage to the Minimum Improvements in excess of$100,000, if the Developer or Lessee fails to
complete any repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Minimum Improvements within three years

successors and assigns, that in addition to the obligation pursuant to statute to pay real estate
taxes, it is also obligated by reason of this Agreement to pay before delinquency, or to cause
Lessee to pay before delinquency, all real estate taxes assessed against the Development Property
and the Minimum Improvements. The Developer acknowledges that this obligation creates a
contractual right on behalf of the City through the Termination Date to sue the Developer or its
successors and assigns to collect delinquent real estate taxes and any penalty or interest thereon
and to pay over the same as a tax payment to the county auditor. In any such suit in which the
City is the prevailing party, the City shall also be entitled to recover its costs, expenses and
reasonable attorney fees.

Termination Date they will not cause a reduction in the real property taxes paid in respect of the
Development Property through: (a) willful destruction of the Development Property or any part
thereof; or (b) willful refusal to reconstruct damaged or destroyed property pursuant to Section
5.1 of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(e). The Developer and
Lessee also agree that they will not, prior to the Termination Date, apply for a deferral of
property tax on the Development Property pursuant to any law, or transfer or permit transfer of
the Development Property to any entity whose ownership or operation of the property would
result in the Development Property being exempt from real estate taxes under State law (other
than any portion thereof dedicated or conveyed to the City or City in accordance with this
Agreement).

ARTICLE VII
Financin�
Section 7.1. Financin�. (a) Before issuance of the Note to the Lessee, the Developer
shall submit to the City evidence of one or more commitments for mortgage financing which,
together with committed equity for such construction, is sufficient for the construction of the
Minimum Improvements. Such commitments may be submitted as short term financing, long
term mortgage financing, a bridge loan with a long-term take-out financing commitment, or any
combination of the foregoing. Such commitment or commitments for short term ar long term
mortgage financing shall be subject only to such conditions as are normal and customary in the
mortgage banking industry.
(b) If the City finds that the mortgage financing is sufficiently committed and
adequate in amount to provide for the construction of the Minimum Improvements, then the City
shall notify the Developer in writing of its approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld and either approval or rejection shall be given within thirty (30) days from the date
when the City is provided the evidence of financing. A failure by the City to respond to such
evidence of financing shall be deemed to constitute an approval hereunder. If the City rejects the
evidence of financing as inadequate, it shall do so in writing specifying the basis for the
rejection. In any event the Developer shall submit adequate evidence of financing within thirty
(30) days after such rejection. Approval of any subordination agreement under Section 7.3
hereof will constitute approval of financing for the purposes of this Section.
Section 7.2. City's Option to Cure Default on Mort�ge. In the event that there occurs a
default under any Mortgage authorized pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, the Developer
shall cause the City to receive copies of any notice of default received by the Developer from the
holder of such Mortgage. Thereafter, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure
any such default on behalf of the Developer within such cure periods as are available to the
Developer under the Mortgage documents. In the event there is an event of default under this
Agreement, the City will transmit to the Holder of any Mortgage a copy of any notice of default
given by the City pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement.
Section 7.3. Subordination and Modification for the Benefit of Mort�ee. In order to
facilitate the Developer obtaining financing for construction of the Minimum Improvements
according to the Construction Plans, the City agrees to subordinate its rights under this
Agreement, provided that (a) such subordination shall be subject to such reasonable terms and
conditions as the City and Holder mutually agree in writing, and (b) the City's obligation to
subordinate is contingent on the City's approval of the financing in accordance with Section 7.1
hereof.

(a) Except only by way of security for, and only for, the purpose of obtaining
financing necessary to enable the Developer or any successor in interest to the Development

any other mode or form of or with respect to the Agreement or the Development Property or any
part thereof or any interest therein (a "Transfer"), or any contract or agreement to do any of the

bound by this Development Agreement in which event the City's approval is not required. Any
such Transfer shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. It is expressly understood
that the Lease between the Developer and Lessee does not constitute a Transfer for purposes of
this Agreement.

Property or any portion thereof, seeks to be released from its obligations under this Development

Development Property to be transferred.

specifically provided in this Agreement or agreed to in writing by the City) deprive the
City of any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the Development Property or
any part thereof or the construction of the Minimum Improvements; it being the intent of
the parties as expressed in this Agreement that (to the fullest extent permitted at law and
in equity and excepting only in the manner and to the extent specifically provided
otherwise in this Agreement) no transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the

deprive or limit the City of or with respect to any rights or remedies on controls provided
in or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the Minimum Improvements that the
City would have had, had there been no such transfer or change. In the absence of
specific written agreement by the City to the contrary, no such transfer or approval by the
City thereof shall be deemed to relieve the Developer, or any other party bound in any
way by this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the construction of the Minimum
Improvements, from any of its obligations with respect thereto.
(iii) Any and all instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting
the Transfer of any interest in this Agreement or the Development Property governed by
this Article VIII, shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the City.
