the Development Agreement, so long as the TIAA Mortgage remains outstanding, the Authority
will not have the right to enforce its rights of rentry, reverter or revestment described in Section
10.4 of the Development Agreement (the "Rights of Reverter ") (which Rights of Reverter are
reserved in the deed conveying the Property from Authority to Developer (the "Deed") recorded
in the Hennepin County Registrar of Titles connection with the Developer's acquisition of the

Reverter subject to the TIAA Mortgage. Throughout all applicable periods of redemption
following a Foreclosure Sale, Authority agrees that the Rights of Reverter are subject to and shall
be exercised in accordance with the term and conditions set forth in this Section 15.
(b) After a Foreclosure Sale If a Foreclosure Sale shall occur, the Authority shall

the Foreclosure Sale (the Sheri s Certificate" g
g .�'
Foreclosure Sale (the "Sheriffs Certificate Holder "), to commence an action in the District
Court in Hennepin County seeking to enforce its Rights of Reverter, provided all of the
following conditions are satisfied:

Authority (the "Order "), Authority first deposits with the District Court Administrator, by wire
• deposit (as the District Court Administrator may direct), a sum sufficient to equal or exceed the
amount (the "Redemption Amount's necessary to enable the Authority to redeem the Property
as successor owner from the Foreclosure Sale and including, without limitation, any costs,
advances or other amounts permitted to be included in any redemption price to the extent
permitted by court order or ruling); and
(iii) The Order requires the simultaneous reversion of title to the Property to the
Authority and the District Court Administrator's disbursement to the Sheriff's Certificate Holder,
or to the Sheriff of Hennepin County for the benefit of the Sheriff's Certificate Holder, of the
Redemption Amount. Any amounts deposited by the Authority in excess of the Redemption
Amount shall be disbursed by the District Court Administrator to the Authority as the Authority
may direct.

contained in the Development Agreement or the Deed, the Rights of Reverter shall terminate,
extinguish and be of no further force or effect upon the expiration of the Redemption Period
without redemption by the Developer.
17. No Violation of Leases Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the Development Agreement, the Authority shall not enforce any right or remedy set forth in the
Development Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 10.4 thereof) to the extent any
such action would constitute a default or violation of any lease entered into by Developer with
respect to the Property. The provisions of this Section 17 shall not, under any circumstances,
prohibit the Authority from enforcing the Covenant against the Developer or from enforcing its
rights under Section 15 of this Agreement.
15699253.11.BUSINESS
18. Lender's Right to Cure Lender (or Collateral Trustee) may, at its option, within
sixty (60) days after the Authority's notice of default under the Development Agreement or the •
Covenant to the Lender, pay any amount stipulated to be paid by Developer or do any other act
or thing required of the Developer by the terms of the Development Agreement or the Covenant;
and all payments so made and all things so done or performed by the Lender shall be as effective
as the same would have been if done and performed by Developer. Further, and except as set
forth in Section 15, above, the Authority shall not have the right to pursue any enforcement
action against Developer for default or Event of Default under the Development Agreement or
the Covenant if Lender (or Collateral Trustee) commences, within one hundred twenty (120)
days after the Authority's notice of default to Lender, and thereafter continuously and diligently
prosecutes (subject to force majeure) the cure of defaults that can reasonably be cured without
obtaining possession, and as to defaults that cannot reasonably be cured without obtaining
possession, commences within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Authority's notice of
default to the Lender and thereafter continuously and diligently prosecutes (subject to force
majeure) appropriate proceedings for foreclosure or other enforcement of the TIAA Mortgage
and, upon obtaining possession or the appointment of a receiver, promptly commences and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure of any such defaults; provided however, Lender shall not
be obligated to continue such possession or to continue such foreclosure proceedings after such
default shall have been cured. Any default by Developer not susceptible of being cured by
Lender (or Collateral Trustee) shall be deemed to have been waived by the Authority upon
completion of such foreclosure proceeding or upon such acquisition of the Property, it being
understood and agreed that any purchaser in any foreclosure sale and any subsequent purchaser
of the Property acquiring title from or through the purchaser in any foreclosure sale (each such
person, the "Successor Owner "), may become the legal owner and holder of the Property and the •
Developer's interest under the Development Agreement through such foreclosure proceedings or
acquisition or by assignment of Developer's interest under the Development Agreement in lieu
of foreclosure.
19. Right to Enforce Lender (or Collateral Trustee) may enforce its rights under the
TIAA Mortgage and acquire title to Developer's interests in the Property in any lawful manner
and, pending foreclosure of any TIAA Mortgage and to take possession of the Property (subject
to applicable law). If Lender (or Collateral Trustee) shall acquire title to the Property and the
Developer's interest in the Development Agreement by foreclosure, such Successor Owner may,
subject to the rights of the Authority set forth in Section 15, freely assign its entire interest in the
Property and the Development Agreement to any entity and thereupon shall be released from all
liability for the performance or observance of the covenants and conditions set forth in the
Development Agreement from and after the date of such assignment.
20. Termination; Limitation on Liability Subject to the Authority's rights set forth
in Section 15, above, if a Successor Owner shall become the owner of the Property by
foreclosure, at Lender's (or Collateral Trustee's) option, the Development Agreement shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, no Successor Owner shall be: (a) liable for any default, act or omission of any prior
Developer under the Development Agreement under the Covenant; (b) bound by any
amendment, restatement modification or supplement to the Development Agreement or the
Covenant made without Lender's written consent thereto; (c) liable for any monetary damages or •
other amounts owing to the Authority from any prior Developer under the Development
15699253.11.BUSINESS
• Agreement or the Covenant, or (d) liable for any Business Subsidy or any obligation or liability
of the Developer under Section 4.9 of the Development Agreement.
21. Extension Completion Date Each of the Authority and the Developer agrees
that in the event that the maturity date of the Construction Loan (as defined in the TIAA
Mortgage) is extended pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, the date for required
completion of the Minimum Improvements set forth in Section 4.3 of the Development
Agreement shall be deemed extended for a period of not less than forty -five (45) days following
the maturity date of the Construction Loan as so extended; provided, however, under no
circumstances will the maturity date of the Construction Loan be extended beyond February 1,
2013, without the consent of the Authority, which may be granted or withheld in its sole and
absolute discretion.
22. Condemnation; Casualty Notwithstanding anything contained in the
Development Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any casualty to or condemnation of the
Property or any portion thereof during such time as any TIAA Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied,
the Lender '(or Collateral Trustee) shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds and/or
condemnation awards (in an amount not to exceed the amount of the outstanding indebtedness
secured by the TIAA Mortgage) otherwise payable to Developer and apply such proceeds in
accordance with the TIAA Mortgage and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to restore
the Property.
23. Lender's Interest Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the Authority's recourse, if any, against the Lender (or Collateral Trustee) under the
Development Agreement, the Covenant or otherwise shall be expressly limited to the Lender's
(or Collateral Trustee's) interest in the Property, if any, at the time in question.
24. Estoppel Certificate Upon Lender's (or Collateral Trustee's) written request,
the Authority shall provide Lender with an estoppel certificate which shall certify to Lender and
Collateral Trustee (a) as to the compliance by Developer of the terms and conditions required
under the Development Agreement and the Covenant, (b) as to whether Developer is not in
default in payment, performance or observance of any other condition or covenant to be
performed by Developer under the Development Agreement or the Covenant, (c) as to whether
there are any offsets or counterclaims on the part of the Authority under the Development,
Agreement or the Covenant, and (d) as to such other matters related to the Development
Agreement or the Covenant as Lender may reasonably determine from time to time.

SUMMARY OF
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT AND .
AGREEMENT REGARDING COVENANT AND RESTRICTION WITH RESPECT TO
THE PAYMENT OF REAL ESTATE TAXES
The following is a summary of the provisions of the above - referenced agreement being
submitted for approval by the EDA council (the numbering used in this summary is consistent
with the section numbering used in the agreement; "PH" refers to the developer):
1. EDA and PH each represent that the Development Agreement is in effect and has not
been amended other than the two prior amendments.
2. EDA consents to the assignment of the Development Agreement from Barry
Minneapolis, LLC to PH.
3. EDA agrees to subordinate its rights under the Development Agreement to the lien of the
mortgage (in exchange, the EDA receives PH's covenant to pay taxes at least through 2031; this
document and obligation would survive foreclosure).
4. EDA agrees to subordinate the Business Subsidy to the lien of the mortgage (and agrees
that the Business Subsidy is a personal obligation of PH).
5. EDA and PH each represent that there are no defaults under the Development Agreement •
(this document and the resolution will cure any technical defaults).
6. EDA consents to the mortgage (required due to mortgage arguably not conforming to
requirements of Section 6.1 of the Development Agreement re: cross - collateralization).
7. EDA represents it knows of no other mortgages on the property.
8. EDA agrees that it will receive no notice from lender of PH default and will not have the
right to cure a default of PH under its loan documents.
9. Omitted.
10. EDA and PH each agree that a default under the mortgage will not an Event of Default
under the Development Agreement (as currently provided) until foreclosure proceedings are
commenced.
11. EDA represents it has no current claims or rights of setoff against PH.
12. EDA and PH agree that no amendment to the Development Agreement or Tax Covenant
will be binding unless consented to in advance by lender.
13. EDA agrees to provide lender copies of all notices to PH (notice to PH is not effective •
until notice to lender is given).
25656080
•
14. EDA has approved preliminary plans.
15. While the mortgage is outstanding, EDA will not enforce its right of reverter prior to a
foreclosure sale unless (i) the lender is not pursuing a cure or foreclosure (i.e., they are doing
nothing), and (ii) the GSA has terminated its lease. Following a foreclosure sale, EDA may
exercise its right of reverter during the redemption period (by going to court), but must follow
certain requirements (name the new holder of the sheriff's certificate and serves such party with
all pleadings, place the funds required to redeem with the court, and simultaneous reverter and
disbursement of funds).
16. The right of reverter terminates at the end of the redemption period (we are asking the
lender to carve out redemption by PH, in which case the EDA would retain its right of reverter).
17. EDA agrees not to exercise remedies that would cause a default under the GSA lease
(required because the GSA can terminate the lease if, for example, the EDA exercised its right of
reverter and became the owner of the property). This does not prevent the EDA from enforcing
the tax covenant or exercising reverter rights under Section 15.
18. Lender is provided additional time to cure defaults by PH under the Development
Agreement and the EDA agrees not to exercise its remedies under the Development Agreement
until the lender has had time to exercise its remedies under the mortgage and loan documents.
• 19. Lender may become the owner loses its mortgage, and ma
y me o e of the property if rt forecloses y
assign the interest in the property and Development Agreement to any entity. The EDA retains
its rights under section 15 (it can use reverter if project is not completed).
20. Lender may elect to terminate the Development Agreement after foreclosure. No future
owner would be responsible for defaults of developer or lender. The tax covenant would remain
in effect.
21. The completion date for the project will be extended if the mortgage is required to be
extended, but not past February 1, 2013 (13 months) without the consent of the EDA.
The remaining provisions are largely boilerplate, but please let us know if there are any
questions.
