signs or markers, within or associated with the UG Parking Element; and
(i) operating, keeping in repair, cleaning and replacing when necessaiy such UG

as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of the area on which such work is being
done; (ii) in full compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Contract; (iv) in full compliance

than the condition which existed prior to the commencement of such Maintenance Work.
Section 4.3. Third Party Maintenance Providers. The Developer shall have the right, from
time to time, to select and hire a third party to perform the Maintenance Work, provided that the Developer
shall remain responsible at all times for the performance of the Maintenance Work. If the Developer selects
such third party to perform, supervise or coordinate the Maintenance Work (the “Property Manager”), such
Property Manager must be a recognized professional commercial property management company. The
Developer may hire companies affiliated with it to perform the Maintenance Work, but only if the rates
charged by such companies are competitive with those of other companies furnishing similar service in the
Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, it being agreed that this provision regarding affiliated companies
shall be construed strictly against the Developer. Any contract with a Property Manager, and the amounts
to be paid such Property Manager under such contract, shall be subject to the City’s prior review and
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All such contracts

insurance, unemployment insurance, social security, group health and dental insurance,
retirement benefits; provided, however, in the event an employee does not devote his or
her full working time to the UG Parking Element, then all of the foregoing charges
pertaining to such employee shall be appropriately prorated to the UG Parking Element in
a manner reasonably acceptable to the City; provided further, in no event shall the
compensation (direct or indirect) of any off-site management personnel be included in
Maintenance Cost Expenses, the same being borne solely by the Developer or the Property
Manager, as the case may be; provided further, that notwithstanding the provisions of this
subsection to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that the UG Parking Element
will likely utilize an Automated Parking System and, therefore, the need for on-site
attendants and cashiers will likely be minimal;
(iii) costs of Utilities used, rendered, supplied, or consumed in, upon, at, from,
or in connection with the UG Parking Element and Access Premises (“Utilities Costs”);
and
(iv) an administrative or overhead fee of the Developer or the Property
Manager (if applicable), but not both (“Administrative Fee”) to cover arranging such
maintenance and billing, but such Administrative Fee shall not exceed three percent (3%)
of the Maintenance Costs exclusive of such Administrative Fee.
(b) The City’s “pro rata share” of Maintenance Costs shall be fifty percent (50%) and
the Developer’s “pro rata share” of Maintenance Costs shall be fifty percent (50%). In addition to
the City’s pro rata share of Maintenance Costs, the City shall pay (i) the cost of all Maintenance
Work which exclusively benefits or serves the Public Parking Level and those portions of the
Access Premises, including the public elevator, solely serving the Public Parking Level and the
cost of the repair of any damage caused by the City or the public and (ii) all Utilities Costs which
exclusively serve the Public Parking Level and Access Premises or are separately metered.
(c) Unless the parties agree to a different budgeting process, no later than September
1 of each year, the Developer shall submit to the City an estimated annual budget of the
Maintenance Costs for the following calendar year, and the parties will cooperate in good faith to
finalize such budget no later than October 1 of each year (“Annual Budget”). The Developer shall
submit the first Annual Budget to the City, covering the initial partial year of operation of the Public
Parking Level, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date the Public Parking Level
will open to the public. With the first Annual Budget, the Developer shall prepare, in consultation
with a qualified professional engineer with experience and knowledge about Industiy best practices
for proper maintenance of an underground parking facility (“Qualified Engineer”'), a proposed
operation manual and maintenance schedule for the UG Parking Element (“O&M Plan”) which
shall identify the nature and frequency of all recommended routine and preventative Maintenance
Work for the UG Parking Element. The Developer shall cause the O&M Plan to be reviewed and
updated by a Qualified Engineer at least once every five (5) years and submitted to the City with
the subsequent year’s proposed Annual Budget. Each Annual Budget and O&M Plan shall be
4851-664I-3640\10
subject to the City’s review and prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. City and Developer agree that Maintenance Work that is included
in the applicable Annual Budget, including any allowances therein, and any Maintenance Work
that is presented as “critical”, “required”, “recommended”, or similarly categorized in the O&M
Plan, or is otherwise considered necessary or prudent under industiy standards for the safe operation
and long-term preservation of underground parking facilities (collectively “Nondiscretionai-y
Maintenance Work”) shall be performed by Developer in accordance with the tenns hereof and the
cost thereof included in Maintenance Costs. All Maintenance Work other than Nondiscretionaiy
Maintenance Work is referred to herein as “Discretionary Maintenance Work”. The City shall be
entitled to reject or approve, in whole or in part (if partial rejection is feasible in Developer’s
reasonable opinion), in its sole and absolute discretion, any Discretionaiy Maintenance Work that
will affect or is proposed to be performed with respect to the Public Parking Level, and the City
may modify the Annual Budget to account for any Discretionary Maintenance Work so rejected by
the City. The Developer will cause any Discretionaiy Maintenance Work with respect to the Public
Parking Level to be completed only if approved by the City.
(d) The Developer shall endeavor to use its commercially reasonable efforts, where
practical, to obtain multiple bids (ideally three) from reputable vendors for the Maintenance Costs
to ensure the expenditures are incurred at market rates in arms-length transactions most beneficial
to the parties hereto.
(e) Unless the parties agree to a different payment and reimbursement process, the
City shall pay to the Developer one twelfth (1/12) of the City’s pro rata share of Maintenance Costs
as set forth in the approved Annual Budget in monthly installments no later than thirty (30) days
following invoice thereof from the Developer (and paid in arrears if required by City policy). If the
Effective Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the City’s share of the costs for
this month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly estimation, based upon a thirty (30) day
month, and shall be due and payable on the Effective Date. Any payment not received when due
hereunder shall accrue interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.
(f) Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Developer shall
provide the City with a certified statement, together with supporting material upon request of the
City, as to the actual Maintenance Costs paid by it during the preceding calendar year, together
with an accounting of the Administrative Fee. If the amount paid by City for such calendar year
shall have exceeded its share, the Developer shall promptly refund the excess to the City at the time
such certified statement is delivered, or if the amount paid by the City for such calendar year is less
than its share, the City shall pay the balance of its share to Developer within sixty (60) days after
receipt of such certified statement.
(g) Within one (1) year after receipt of any such certified statement, the City shall have
the right to inspect the Developer’s books and records pertaining to Maintenance Costs for the
calendar year covered by such statement. The Developer shall provide a complete copy of such
books and records to the City in electronic form In the event that such inspection shall disclose any
error in the determination of Maintenance Costs or in calculating the City’s share of such costs, an
appropriate adjustment shall be made forthwith. Alternatively, the City may cause a third-party
auditor to conduct such inspection, provided as a condition of any third-party audit. City and
Developer agree that only auditors compensated on an hourly or fixed fee basis (expressly
excluding any auditors compensated on a contingent basis) shall be permitted and prior to any such
audit City shall provide evidence of same by delivery to Developer of a copy of the City’s
engagement letter with the auditor. In the event that such audit shall disclose any error in the
determination of Maintenance Costs or in calculating the City’s share of such costs, an appropriate
4851-6641-3640\10
adjustment shall be made forthwith. The cost of any such audit shall be assumed by the City unless
the City shall be entitled to a refund in excess of ten (10%) percent of the amount calculated by the
Developer as its share of such costs for such calendar year, in which case the Developer shall pay
the cost of such audit, without reimbursement, not to exceed $2,000.00. The Developer shall keep,
and present, upon request, all invoices, bills or statements of costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the Maintenance Costs for a period of two (2) years.
Section 4.5. 50th & France District Maintenance Assessments. The Developer
acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to limit the City’s right to recoup
its payments for its pro rata share of the Maintenance Costs hereunder by including such costs in the 50th
& France District commercial area maintenance assessments, including assessments levied upon property
owned by the Developer, all as specified and in accordance with the City Code.
Section 4.6. Exclusions to Maintenance Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the City shall not be obligated to pay any portion of Maintenance Costs expended by
Developer with respect to the following items, which such Maintenance Costs shall be the Developer’s sole
cost and expense and not subject to reimbursement from the City (collectively “Excluded Costs”):
(a) repair or replacement of any structural element of the UG Parking Element,
including the foundation, foundation walls, parking decks, floor slabs, exterior walls, and
waterproofing systems related to the foregoing;
(b) replacement, repair, or correction of any structural or other construction defect;
(c) Taxes, except Separate Taxes, if any, pursuant to Section 5.1 below;

damage to the Access Premises caused by residents of the Apartment Element while using the
Access Premises to access the Private Parking Level (provided, however, the City will pay one
hundred percent (100%) of such Maintenance Costs which exclusively benefit or serve the Public
Parking Level and the cost of repair of any damage caused by the City or the public, as provided in
Section d.dlbl above);
(f) With respect to Maintenance Work performed by a party related to Developer, then
any cost therefor in excess of what would be chargeable in an arms-length transaction;

stand against the Easement Premises on account of improvements authorized by Developer (and will
promptly discharge (by payment, bonding over or otherwise) the same upon their occurrence); provided,
however, the Developer may in good faith and at its expense contest any such lien in which event such lien
may remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the contest and any appeal, provided the Developer shall
file a bond or deposit cash or other reasonable security in the amount of such lien with the court or with a
luortgagee of the UG Parking Element to secure the payment of such lien if finally determined to be valid.

before becoming delinquent, all real estate taxes, charges, assessments, and levies (collectively “Taxes”),
assessed and levied by any governmental taxing authority during the term of this Agreement against the

that it becomes a separate tax parcel and such parcel is deemed to be subject to Taxes, or (ii) records of the
tax assessor provide reasonable evidence that the Public Parking Level is deemed to be subject to Taxes,
the City shall pay directly to the relevant taxing authority any such Taxes (“Separate Taxes”).

costs) as reasonably determined by the parties and the applicable insurer prior to the City’s approval of each
Annual Budget (the “City’s Property Insurance Contribution”).

the UG Parking Element, or any part thereof, by the Developer, or to the extent arising out of the breach of
Developer’s obligations hereunder
Section 6.4. Liability Insurance. The Developer and the City shall procure and maintain
continuously in effect (or shall cause the same to occur), policies of insurance of the kind and minimum
amounts as are customarily maintained with respect to underground parking facilities, to be reviewed from
time to time by the parties and adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Section
466.04, as follows:
(a) Insurance against liability (including passenger elevator liability) for injuries to or
death of any person or damage to or loss of property arising out of or in any way relating to the
condition of the UG Parking Element. Developer (and Developer’s lender and property manager)
shall be named as additional insureds on the City’s such policy of insurance and the City shall be
named as additional insured on the Developer’s such policy of insurance.
(b) Liability insurance including coverage for:
(i) fire and explosion;
(ii) theft (of entire vehicle); and
(hi) riot, civil commotion, malicious mischief, and vandalism.
(c) To the extent reasonably available, insuring the indemnifications expressed in 6.2
and 6.3 hereof (as applicable).
Section 6.5. General Insurance Requirement. All insurance required in this Agreement shall
be placed with financially sound and reputable insurers licensed to transact business in the State of
Minnesota. The Developer shall, within a commercially reasonable time following the City’s request
therefor, furnish the City with copies of policies evidencing all such insurance or a certificate or certificates
of the respective insurers stating that such insurance is in force and effect. Each policy of insurance herein
required shall contain a provision that the insurer shall not cancel it without giving written notice to the
City at least thirty (30) days before the cancellation becomes effective. The insurance coverage herein
required may be provided by a blanket insurance policy or policies.
Section 6.6. Immunities. Nothing herein shall be deemed or constitute a waiver by the City of
any statutory limitations on liability, statutory or common law immunities or any defenses that would
otherwise be available to it in claims by third parties, including specifically the maximum liability amount
contained in Minnesota Statutes Section 466.04. To the extent that the Developer performs construction,
operation, maintenance, repair, or replacement of any part of the UG Parking Element, pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that the Developer is entitled to the immunities provided
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 466.03, or any successor statute.

ASSIGNMENT
Section 7.1. General. Due to the public nature of the easement granted herein, the City may
not assign or transfer its interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Developer,
which consent shall be granted, conditioned or withheld in Developer’s sole discretion. During the term of
the Contract, the Developer may not assign or otherwise transfer its interest under this Agreement, except
as provided in the Contract. The City shall recognize and approve any successors or assigns of Developer
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Contract. Following the expiration or earlier termination
of the Contract, Developer may freely assign or transfer its interest under this Agreement without the
consent of the City. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge
and agree that the rights and easements established, granted, conveyed, reserved and consented to by this
Agreement will run with the land and will inure to the benefit of and be binding on all present and future
owners of any applicable portion of the South Site and their respective successors and assigns.
ARTICLE VIII.
CASUALTY
Section 8.1. Destruction. Promptly upon any casualty loss or damage to all or any part of the
UG Parking Element, the Developer shall proceed with diligence to restore the UG Parking
Element to the condition prior to the casualty with the insurance proceeds obtained with respect
to the loss or damage to the extent the insurance proceeds recovered allow for such rebuilding;
provided, however, the Developer shall not be obligated to rebuild the UG Parking Element if
any of the Developer’s lenders or loan agreements (whether executed before or after the date
hereof) do not permit such rebuilding or require that insurance amounts recovered with respect
to any loss or damage to the UG Parking Element be paid directly to the lender.
ARTICLE IX.
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 9.1. Major Condemnation. If all of the UG Parking Element shall be taken, acquired,
or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Agreement shall
terminate as of the date of vesting of title in the condemning authority. Each party shall make its own claim
in the condemnation proceeding based upon the value of its respective interest in the UG Parking Element.
Section 9.2. Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the UG Parking Element shall be taken,
acquired, or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the absence of
which materially and adversely affects the conduct of business by the City or the Developer, then either the
City or the Developer, at any time within sixty (60) days after it has actual notice of such proposed
acquisition or condemnation, shall have the option to cancel and terminate this Agreement as of the date of
vesting of title in the condemning authority of the acquired or condemned property; provided, if neither
paity so terminates the Agreement will continue as to the remaining part of the Easement Premises not so
taken or threatened to be taken. The terminating party, if any, shall exercise its termination option by giving
the other party written notice of the exercise thereof within the foregoing sixty (60) days’ period, and in the
event neither party furnishes the other paity written notice of the exercise thereof within the time and in the
manner herein provided, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Each party shall make
its own claim in the condemnation proceeding based upon the value of its respective interest in that part of
the UG Parking Element subject to the acquisition or condemnation, provided, however, that no award to
11
4851-6641-3640\10
the City based on its easement interest shall be permitted to the extent such award reduces Developer’s
award based on its fee interest.
ARTICLE X.
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 10.1. General. It shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder if (a) either paity defaults in
any obligation of this Agreement requiring the payment of money and fails to cure such default
within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such default from the other party or (b) if a
party defaults in any of its other obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure such default
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such default from the other party (or, if
such default reasonably requires more than thiity (30) days to cure, fails to commence such action
as is necessary to cure such default within such 30-day period and to proceed diligently thereafter
to cure such default).
Section 10.2. Remedies. Following an Event of Default hereunder, the non-defaulting paidy
may: (a) exercise its self-help rights in accordance with Section 10.3 with respect to a default in
the performance of Maintenance Work; (b) pay all or any part of such obligations and charge the

percent (12%) per annum, to the defaulting party; (c) bring an action for injunctive relief; or (d)
enforce the obligations of the defaulting party by an action at law or in equity. In an emergency,
any such payment or performance may be undertaken or action brought by the non-defaulting
party prior to the giving of any notice or expiration of any notice period, but the party curing the
default will provide such notice as soon as may be reasonable under the circumstances. If the
Developer has failed to cure a default requiring the payment of money in accordance this section,
the City shall have the right to assess the costs incurred by the City to all or any portion of the
South Site as a service charge pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.101, or any successor
statute.
Section 10.3. Self Help; Failure to Maintain. In the event the Developer defaults in its
obligation to perform the Maintenance Work as required by this Agreement, then the City, after compliance

Maintenance Work may be initiated with whatever notice is reasonable under the circumstances), shall have
the right to enter any portion of the Easement Premises (including subsurface structural support elements)
and perform such Maintenance Work as required herein and charge the costs of such performance plus ten
percent (10%) of such costs for overhead, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the Developer. The
Developer shall promptly pay to the City any and all such costs as are due and owing on account thereof
The City shall submit a statement to the Developer evidencing the costs incurred for such Maintenance
Work. If the Developer has failed to make payment in accordance with the statement within sixty (60) days
after receipt thereof, the City shall have the right to assess the costs incurred by the City to all or any portion
of the South Site as a service charge pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.101, or any successor
statute. The Developer hereby agrees to such an assessment for maintenance and repair costs, agrees that
the South Site assessed for such service charges is benefited thereby, and waives any rights the Developer
or a third party may have to object to an assessment of such service charges, including any rights of appeal
under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the City
shall have no obligation of any kind, expressed or implied, to perform the Maintenance Work or any part
thereof
Section 10.4. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy provided under this
Agreement will be cumulative and concurrent and will be in addition to every other right, power or remedy
12
4851-6641-3640\10
provided for under this Agreement or at law or in equity. The exercise or beginning of exercise of any one
or more rights, powers or remedies will not preclude the concurrent or later exercise of any other rights,
powers or remedies. Failure to enforce any covenant under this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of
the right to do so thereafter.
Section 10.5. Easements Survive. The Developer may not terminate any of the easements
created by this Agreement or discontinue performance of its obligations with respect to
maintenance, repair or replacement of any easement due to a default by the City under this
