Easement Area or such Walls or Roofs of the Buildings owned by the Grantor by the
Grantee shall be without liability or obligation of any kind to Grantor or any owner
or occupant of the Easement Area or such Walls or Roofs for trespass or damage to
the Easement Area or Buildings owned by the Grantor or for loss of business or
business interruption, or any other cause, all of which liability and obligation is
hereby waived by Grantor, and if any person makes any claim against the Grantee or
its officers, officials, employees, agents or contractors for loss or damage to property

assigns, shall have no liability for any loss or damages caused by snow accumulating
or water draining from the Easement Roof and onto the roofs of said Buildings or by
snow and ice accumulating thereon. Grantor hereby warrants, represents and
agrees, that a suitable drainage system has been constructed to the Buildings owned

WHEREAS, the Private Parties and the City wish to set out their
respective responsibilities with respect to the Public Purposes and the payment of
the costs thereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Private Parties and the City in consideration
of the covenants and agreements hereinafter contained hereby agree as follows:
A. Removal of Existing Roofs Alterations to Buildings; Construction of
Public Purposes.
(1) The Private Parties shall remove and dispose of, without cost or
charge to City, the existing roof over the Easement Area and all braces,
brackets, supports, cables, beams and other devices supporting such roof and
all other existing equipment, material or property which is necessary or

actual, out -of- pocket cost incurred by Private Party or Parties performing such
removal and disposal in connection with such removal and disposal, shall be
applied as a credit against the special assessment levied against the
Assessment Property (as hereinafter defined) of such Private Party pursuant
to subparagraph E.(1) hereof, and such one -half shall be paid by the City or
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Edina, Minnesota from
available tax increment funds. Such credit shall be applied as a prepayment of
the assessment when such assessment is levied. The Private Party or Parties
-3-
performing such removal and disposal shall deliver to the City such
documents as the City shall reasonably request to evidence such actual, out -of-
pocket costs.
(2) The Private Party which owns the Buildings located on the east side
of the north -south portion of the Easement Area shall alter such Buildings to
accommodate that east gable condition for the large skylight currently shown
on the drawings of the Easement Roof described on Exhibit B, and shall
construct the stairway turret described on the drawings of the Easement Roof
described on Exhibit B.
(3) Each of the Private Parties shall alter or modify the Buildings
owned by such Private Party as recommended in the report dated March 12,
1992 of Dahlmeier Engineering to accommodate snow accumulation and
drainage on the roofs of the Buildings which are adjacent to the Easement
Roof.
(4) The Private Parties shall complete the work under subparagraphs
A.(1), (2) and (3) above no later than August 20, 1992.
(5) The City agrees that upon compliance by the Private Parties with
their obligations under subparagraphs A.(1), (2) and (3) above, the City shall
design, construct and install on the Easement Area, Buildings and Walls, a
public walkway, the Easement Roof, a lighting system and signs of a public
nature. The cost of such design, construction and installation shall be paid, in
part, from available tax increments and shall be assessed, in part, all as
-4-
provided in Paragraph E. hereof. However, each of the Private Parties
acknowledges, understands and agrees that the City shall not be obligated to
construct, install, do or complete all or any of such Public Purposes unless it
receives bids for such work, pursuant to applicable statutory public bidding
procedures, acceptable to the City.
B. Drainage From Easement Roof. Each of the Private Parties hereby
warrants, represents and agrees that suitable provision has been made to the
Buildings owned by such Private Party (or will have been made upon completion of
the alterations or modifications to the Buildings owned by such Private Party
required under subparagraph A.(3) hereof) for snow accumulation and drainage on
the roofs of said buildings which are adjacent to the Easement Roof in accordance
with the requirements of the building codes of the City.
C. Notices. All notices, reports or demands required or permitted to be
given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be given
when delivered personally to any officer of the party to which notice is being given,
or two business days after deposit in the United States mail in a sealed envelope,

Such addresses may be changed by either party upon notice to the other party given

unless actually received by the addressee.
D. Warranties and Representations. Each of the Private Parties
warrants and represents that the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, the terms and
conditions hereof are binding on such Private Party and enforceable against it in
accordance with the terms hereof.
E. Assessments. Each of the Private Parties understands and agrees
that the Easement Roof to be constructed pursuant to paragraph A. hereof, has
increased considerably in cost since the initial cost estimate by the City, that such
increase is due to the desire of the Private Parties, to have a more extensive and
more expensive Easement Roof than that proposed by the City. Each of the Private
Parties further understands and agrees that the City initially proposed to assess 20%
of the cost of constructing and installing the Easement Roof, and of completing the
other Public Purposes to be constructed, installed and completed pursuant to
Paragraph A. hereof, against all commercial property in the 50th and France
commercial area (the "Commercial Property "), with the remaining 80% to be paid by
use of tax increment funds. However, due to the added cost, that initial proposal is
no longer appropriate. Therefore, the Private Parties and the City agree as follows:
(1) The City shall levy a special assessment against the Building Land
equal to 50% of the total cost (including capitalized interest and the costs
charged by the City Engineer for its services) of designing, constructing and
completing the Easement Roof and lighting system (but not the cost of
designing, constructing and completing the other Public Purposes), pursuant
to paragraph A. hereof, all as reasonably determined by the City.
(2) In addition, the City shall levy a special assessment against all
Commercial Property (including the Building Land) equal to 20% of 50% of
such cost of the Easement Roof and 20% of the full cost of completing the
other Public Purposes pursuant to Paragraph A. hereof.
(3) The balance of such cost (80% of 50 %) of the Easement Roof and
lighting system and the balance (80 %) of the full amount of completing the
other Public Purposes shall be paid from available tax increment funds.
-7-
(4) The assessment at (1) and (2) above shall be levied at such time, at
such an interest rate, and over such period as the City shall determine. Also,
the assessment at (1) above shall be apportioned among the Building Land in
such manner as the owners of the Building Land shall agree in writing, or, if
such owners cannot so agree by the time such assessment is to be levied by
City, the assessment at (1) above shall be levied in such uniform manner as
the City shall determine. Also, the assessment at (2) above shall be
apportioned among the Commercial Property in such uniform manner as the
City shall determine.
(5) If, for any reason, all or any part of the increased assessment
resulting to the Commercial Property from the increased cost of the Easement
Roof is set aside as to all or any part of the Commercial Property by a court of
competent jurisdiction, or if the City determines on the advice of its attorney
that the increased assessment, or any part thereof, is or may be invalid for any
reason as to all or any part of the Commercial Property, then the Private
Parties agree that the City may make a new assessment or a reassessment
against the Building Land, using the same interest rate, time period and
apportionment formulas as used pursuant to (4) above, of all of any part of
the cost of such Easement Roof which would have been assessed against the
Commercial Property but for being so set aside or being so determined as
being invalid.
10
(6) If the assessments referred to at (1), (2) and (5) above are levied by
the City and are apportioned by the City as above provided, the Private Parties
shall not object to such assessments in any way or as to any particular,
including, without limitation, the amount of the assessments, the
apportionment of the assessments among benefitted properties, the hearing
process (including the giving of, or failure to give, or errors in giving of, any
notice) and shall, and hereby does, waive any and all objections to any and all
such assessments and the process to determine the same, including, without
limitation, waiver of any and all notices and hearings required by applicable
statutes in connection with the making of public improvements or the
levying of assessments.
F. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in a number of
identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
shall constitute, collectively, one and the same agreement.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, The said Private Parties and the City have
caused these presents to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

to damage or loss caused by the negligent act of the Grantee, or its officers, officials,
employees, agents or contractors, or caused by the violation by the Grantee, or its

regulation.

assigns, shall have no liability for any loss or damages caused by snow accumulating
or water draining from the Easement Roof and onto the roofs of said Buildings or by
snow and ice accumulating thereon. Grantor hereby warrants, represents and
agrees, that a suitable drainage system has been constructed to the Buildings owned
by the Grantor, and will be hereafter constantly maintained in a good condition and
state of repair, so as to cause such rain water and melting snow and ice to be
removed from the Easement Roof and the roofs of said Buildings and to prevent

hereby granted, Grantee has not removed all of its signs, lighting equipment and
Easement Roof support devices, and any and all other materials or devices placed by
Grantee on the Walls, Roofs or Easement Area pursuant to this Agreement, then all

owner, is no longer such a record owner, the liability hereunder of Grantor and each

violate, or attempt to violate, any of the provisions of this Agreement, or to impede,
