Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Agreement with 7250 France Group, LLC
Information / Background:
Orion Investments dba 7250 France Group, LLC is the developer for the 5-acre commercial site
located at 7200-7250 France Avenue. The site was formerly occupied by two vacant office
buildings. Demolition of both buildings began in late 2022 and is anticipated to be completed in
spring 2023 when the developer has full funding in place for this redevelopment project.
The City Council granted final rezoning and overall site plan approval for the 5-acre site in
February 2023. As envisioned in the Greater Southdale District Plan, the two separate parcels will
be reconstructed simultaneously so that a new north/south roadway and bicycle/pedestrian trail
can be constructed between Gallagher and 72nd Street. The overall site plan also provides new
perimeter sidewalks as well as interior plazas with overlook seating areas adjacent to the
stormwater basin. These public improvements will be constructed and maintained by the
developer. Each public area will be secured by a permanent public easement. Slightly more than
51% of the site will be constrained with easements to benefit the general public and the immediate
residential neighbors. The first phase of construction anticipates a new Class A office building. The
second phase is intended to be a new upscale or luxury hotel with commercial amenities.
Alternatively, the second phase may also be multifamily housing if the hotel does not secure private
financing. Both phases will share the underground parking stalls located beneath each building.
This new plan replaces a multi-family housing plan that was formerly approved in 2019. That
project was unable to secure financing due to the high cost of constructing the project. That
developer sold the property to the new owners.
The developer began to remove the blighted & substandard buildings in 2022 in order to abate a
nuisance to the neighborhood. The developer intends to invest approximately $162 million into the
site. Upon completion, this degree of redevelopment will transform the 1960’s suburban-style
STAFF REPORT – 7200-7250 France – TIF Redevelopment Agreement Page 2
commercial parcels into a modern mixed use site that sets a new tone for redevelopment
consistent with the 2018 Greater Southdale District Plan.
Summary
The developer is prepared to assume all financial risk for this new project using a market driven
combination of debt and equity. The developer requested that Tax Increment Financing be
provided after completion of each phase of the project to help defray the cost of redeveloping the
site with the high degree of public improvements.
Staff has met with the developer to understand the financial conditions that require the
consideration of public financing to supplement the private debt and equity.
Staff has engaged legal and financial advisors at Ehlers Associates and Dorsey & Whitney to
scrutinize the financial pro forma and prepare a complete Redevelopment Agreement based on the
general term sheet that was reviewed by the Edina HRA in February 2023. While these advisors
work for the City / HRA, the cost of their work has been borne by the developers.
The Redevelopment Agreement abides by applicable Minnesota Statutes that govern Tax Increment
Financing. The terms and conditions in the Agreement are also consistent with Edina’s TIF Policy
and best practice which is typically more limited than allowed by Minnesota Statute.
This TIF Redevelopment Agreement follows the general format and strategic approach typically
used by the City for redevelopment projects that include multiple phases, a mixture of uses and a
wide variety of public benefits. The public benefits are delivered in the first phase and the
reimbursement for these costs occurs over time to eliminate financial risk to the community.
Ehlers has scrutinized the budgets and financial pro formas for each Phase and the total project.
Ehlers has determined that the financial gap is approximately $7.55 million or approximately 5% of
the total development cost. Ehlers also confirmed that “but for” the use of TIF, a project of this
scale, caliber and quality will be unable to secure private financing.
The structure of the Agreement maintains all financial risk with the developer. The developer will
provide up front financing through private debt and equity. TIF will only be used to reimburse the
developer for eligible costs after each phase of the project is successfully completed and after all
public benefits have been delivered.
The developers and City staff are mutually supportive of the terms and conditions expressed in this
Agreement.
Recommended Action:
Approve the Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Agreement with 7250 France Group, LLC.

REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
(7200-7250 France Avenue)
THIS REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into April 18,
2023 (“Effective Date”), by and among the City of Edina, Minnesota, a Minnesota statutory city (the
“City”), the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Edina, Minnesota, a public body corporate and
politic organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the “Authority”), and 7250 France
Group, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Developer”).
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to and in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, as
amended (the “TIF Act”), the Authority is authorized to finance certain eligible redevelopment costs of
redevelopment projects with tax increment revenues derived from a tax increment financing district
established in accordance with the TIF Act.
B. The City and the Authority previously established the “Southeast Edina Redevelopment
Project Area” pursuant to Sections 469.001 through 469.047, inclusive, of the TIF Act, in an effort to
encourage the development and redevelopment of such designated area within the City (the
“Redevelopment Area”).
C. In accordance with the TIF Act, the Authority has analyzed the current use of that certain
land within the Redevelopment Area located at 7200 France Avenue (the “7200 Parcel”) and 7250 France
Avenue (the “7250 Parcel”, and collectively with the 7200 Parcel, the “Project Area”), as such Project Area
is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto, including a building-by-building structural analysis, and
determined that the Project Area is currently underutilized, with obsolete structures and physical
arrangements, substantial vacant areas, and potential contamination, with outdated and inadequate public
infrastructure and circulation.
D. Developer is the current fee owner of the 7250 Parcel, and France Property Partners, LLC,
a Minnesota limited liability company (together with its permitted successor and assigns, “7200 Parcel
Owner”), a Related Party of Developer, is the current fee owner of the 7200 Parcel.
E. Having analyzed the current land use in the Project Area, consistent with the TIF Act, the
Authority and the City held public hearings after appropriate notices to consider the need and desirability
for adoption of a tax increment financing plan and the creation and establishment of the Project Area and
certain other adjoining land as a tax increment financing district pursuant to the TIF Act, and determined
that absent such authorization and the provision of certain funds to undertake various qualified
redevelopment activities, the redevelopment contemplated herein would not be undertaken.
F. After such hearings, the Authority and the City, having determined that the creation and
establishment of a tax increment financing district in the Project Area and such other adjoining land is in
the public interest, the Authority and the City established the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing
District (a redevelopment district) (the “TIF District”) under the TIF Act and adopted the Tax Increment
Financing plan (the “TIF Plan”) for the TIF District in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.175, pursuant to Authority Resolution No. 2023-04 and City Resolution No. 2023-25.
G. Developer has requested, and the City has approved, pursuant to the Phase 1 City
Approvals (defined herein), rezoning of the Project Area to a Planned Unit Development and a final
development plan for the redevelopment of the Project Area.

Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
H. Pursuant to and as described in the Phase 1 City Approvals, the previous two multi-tenant
office buildings and parking ramp located on the Project Area have been demolished and Developer intends
to redevelop the Project Area with new buildings and other improvements, as more particularly described
herein as the “Phase 1 Minimum Improvements” and the “Phase 2 Minimum Improvements”, and,
collectively, referred to herein as the “Project” or the “Minimum Improvements”, as such Project is
generally depicted on the Project site plan attached as Exhibit B (the “Project Site Plan”).
I. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Phase 1 Minimum Improvements” shall mean and
include development and construction of the following improvements, all as generally depicted on the
Project Site Plan and all to be constructed in accordance with the Phase 1 City Approvals and otherwise at
the general scale and massing using the architectural quality, exterior finish materials and landscaping as
shown in the Phase 1 Development Plan (as defined herein):
(i) A five-story mixed-use professional office/retail building with approximately
138,000 rentable square feet and two levels of underground parking (the “Phase 1
Building”), and related site improvements, all to be located on the 7250 Parcel;
(ii) a north/south public vehicular access road connecting Gallagher Drive to 72nd
Street, located on the west side of the Project Area and parallel to France Avenue
and such other related streetscape and other improvements (the “North/South
Road”), which such North/South Road shall be subject to a City Easement, as
provided herein;
(iii) a north/south public bike/pedestrian path and walkway connecting Gallagher Drive
to 72nd Street, located on the west side of the North/South Road and such other
related streetscape and other improvements (the “North/South Path”), which such
North/South Path shall be subject to a City Easement, as provided herein;
(iv) An approximately 31,000 square foot public plaza (the “Public Plaza”), located on
portions of both the 7200 Parcel and the 7250 Parcel, which shall include
landscaping, hardscaping, public art, security cameras (and other public safety
precautions in strategic locations), and other pedestrian amenities consistent with
the Phase 1 City Approvals, which such Public Plaza shall be subject to a City
Easement, as provided herein;
(v) the sidewalk, streetscape, and landscape improvements and amenities (the
“Sidewalks and Streetscapes”) along France Avenue, Gallagher Drive and 72nd
Street adjoining the Project Area, as required under the terms of the Phase 1 City
Approvals, which such Sidewalks and Streetscapes shall be subject to a City
Easement, as provided herein;
(vi) storm water management improvements in accordance with the Phase 1 City
Approvals;
(vii) the Public Art (defined herein); and
(viii) the Phase 2 Pad Site Preparation has been completed or the temporary surface
parking on the 7200 Parcel permitted by the City Approvals has been constructed
in accordance with the City Approvals and applicable Law.

Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
J. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Phase 2 Minimum Improvements” shall mean and
must include development and construction of either of the following buildings (as the case may be, the
“Phase 2 Building”) and related site improvements on the 7200 Parcel:
(i) a luxury/high end hotel with approximately 150 rooms with retail space for
possible restaurant, fitness, other compatible retail businesses and rooftop
restaurant patio (a “Phase 2 Hotel Project”); or
(ii) a multi-family residential building consisting of at least three (3) stories above
grade but no larger (in terms of height and footprint area) than the Phase 1 Building
and containing approximately 150 residential units and ground floor retail (with
residential units leased at both market and affordable rates in accordance with City
policy) (a “Phase 2 Residential Project”);
in either case, as the same may be generally depicted in, and otherwise at the general scale and
massing using the architectural quality, exterior finish materials and landscaping as shown in, the
Phase 2 City Approvals (defined herein).
K. Upon completion, the Project is anticipated to deliver many benefits to the general public.
In addition to the redevelopment of an underutilized building and long-term increase in the property tax
base, the Project will deliver additional public benefits including, job creation, new mixed-use development
with smaller blocks and mass consistent with the Southdale Experience Guidelines, stormwater
improvements, environmental remediation, streetscape improvements, and permanent sustainability
features. Upon completion, the Project will also enable several improvements to the local transportation
network including improvements for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. These improvements are
intended to benefit the Project, the adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhoods and the general
public who travel to and through this area.
L. The Authority and the City have adopted findings which include a determination that (i)
the redevelopment to occur through the proposed Project would not occur solely through private investment
within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the Project Area that could
reasonably be expected to occur without the use of the tax increment financing would be less than the
increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present
value of the Project’s tax increments for the duration of the TIF District, (ii) that the proposed Project
conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole, and (iii) that the
proposed Project affords maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for
the development or redevelopment of the TIF District by private enterprise, and, accordingly, the City and
Authority believes the Project is in the best interest of the City and desire to assist in providing financial
support for the Minimum Improvements with certain TIF Assistance (as defined herein) in accordance with
Article III of this Agreement.

(f) Combination of the TIF Notes. Upon the request of either the Authority or
Developer to the other party, any such request to be made in connection with the issuance of the Phase 2
TIF Note or any time after issuance of the Phase 2 TIF Note, the TIF Notes issued by the Authority to
Developer hereunder may be combined into a single TIF Note, in an amount equal to the then aggregate
unpaid principal balance of the TIF Notes and otherwise containing the same terms and conditions of the
then existing TIF Notes. If either party makes such request, Developer shall promptly surrender the original
TIF Notes to the Authority and the Authority will reissue a single TIF Note in accordance with this section.
Upon issuance of such a combined TIF Note, all references in this Agreement to the Phase 1 TIF Note, the
Phase 2 TIF Note, or the TIF Note, shall thereafter refer to such combined TIF Note.
(g) No Representation or Warranty. Payments of principal and interest under the TIF
Notes shall be payable solely from Available Tax Increments. The Authority does not represent or warrant
the amounts of Available Tax Increments that will be available for payment principal and interest under the
TIF Notes. The Authority will not reimburse Developer for Qualified Redevelopment Costs from Authority
revenues, other than from Available Tax Increments, nor guaranty the amount of money which Developer
will receive as a reimbursement, such amount being payable solely from the Available Tax Increments in
accordance with this section, unless the Authority elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, with no
obligation to do so, to pay down the TIF Notes from other funds.
3.5 TIF Assistance and Potential Adjustment.
(a) Generally. The financial assistance to Developer under this Agreement is based on
certain assumptions regarding anticipated costs and expenses associated with constructing the Minimum
Improvements. Specifically, the maximum aggregate principal amount of the TIF Notes have been
determined based on the amount of assistance needed to make the Minimum Improvements financially
feasible, as shown in the initial projected TIF Pro Forma attached as Exhibit D. The Authority and
Developer agree that those assumptions will be reviewed at the times described in this section, and that the
amount of TIF Assistance provided herein shall be adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.5.
(b) Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the
following meanings:
(i) “7200 Parcel Sale” means a sale of the 7200 Parcel which occurs before
the Completion of the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements.
(ii) “7200 Parcel Sale Net Proceeds” means the amount of net proceeds
received by a 7200 Parcel Owner that is a Related Party of Developer from a 7200 Parcel
Sale, which are in excess of (A) the 7200 Parcel land basis as shown in the initial projected
Execution Draft
16
Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
TIF Pro Forma attached hereto, plus (B) customary 7200 Parcel holding costs incurred after
the date hereof and before any such sale, as reasonably determined by the Authority.
(iii) “Cash Flow” means Net Operating Income derived from the Project Area
less debt service (principal and interest) with respect to the Mortgage loan(s) encumbering
the Project Area.
(iv) “Cash-on-Cost Return” means Net Operating Income divided by the sum
of the total actual cost of the Minimum Improvements (less any grants, forgivable loans,
or City, Authority, federal or State funds received by Developer and/or the 7200 Parcel
Owner for any Phase of the Minimum Improvements) as set forth in an updated actual TIF
Pro Forma. For purposes of clarity, an example calculation of the Cash-On-Cost Return is
included in the initial projected TIF Pro Forma attached as Exhibit D.
(v) “IRR” means the internal rate of return for the Minimum Improvements,
where the IRR is calculated as the annualized return of the annual Cash Flow over the
applicable period on Developer’s or the 7200 Parcel Owner’s, as applicable, actual
utilization of equity for Project costs.
(vi) “Net Operating Income” means total income and other project-derived
revenue from the Minimum Improvements, including payments under the TIF Notes, less
Operating Expenses.
(vii) “Operating Expenses” means reasonable and customary expenses incurred
in operating the Minimum Improvements, including, but not limited to all management and
related expenses, all real estate taxes and special assessments for the Project Area.
(c) Confirmation of TIF Assistance Upon Completion of Each Phase.
(i) Market Return Rate. After Completion of the applicable Phase of the
Minimum Improvements, Developer shall provide to the Authority an updated actual TIF
Pro Forma based on actual, documented costs of the corresponding Phase of the Minimum
Improvements completed and any reasonable and relevant information and documentation
as the Authority requires in order to calculate the reasonably anticipated Cash-on-Cost
Return for the Minimum Improvements and to otherwise confirm that the “but for” finding
adopted by the City and the Authority continues to be satisfied. In the event that the Phase
2 Minimum Improvements have not been completed at the time of calculation, the assumed
costs for the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements shown in the initial TIF Pro Forma attached
as Exhibit D shall be used for the calculation. The Authority may retain a financial advisor,
accountant, and/or other professional with similar expertise to audit the submitted TIF Pro
Forma, at Developer’s cost. If the submitted TIF Pro Forma demonstrates that the Cash-
on-Cost Return for the Minimum Improvements exceeds 8.50% (the “Market Return
Rate”), then the amount of TIF Assistance provided herein, as reflected in the principal
amount of the TIF Notes, shall be reduced based on the actual TIF Assistance that is
sufficient to achieve the Market Return Rate based on the submitted TIF Pro Forma. In
calculating the Market Return Rate, all hard and soft costs, including professional fees for
the Minimum Improvements, will be limited to such the amount and nature of such costs
comparable with industry standards for projects similar to the Minimum Improvements.
Notwithstanding anything herein the contrary and for avoidance of doubt, the Phase 1 TIF
Note will not be reduced after its issuance if it is determined upon Completion of the Phase
Execution Draft
17
Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
2 Minimum Improvements that the Cash-on-Cost Return for the Minimum Improvements
exceeds the Market Return Rate. Instead, only the principal amount of the Phase 2 TIF
Note will be subject to reduction in accordance with the foregoing paragraph as determined
after any Completion of the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements. In the event that the
reduction is greater than the principal amount of the Phase 2 TIF Note, no amounts shall
be owed.
(ii) 7200 Parcel Sale Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the foregoing:
(A) if there is a 7200 Parcel Sale before the issuance of the Phase 1
TIF Note, then the 7200 Parcel Sale Net Proceeds from such 7200 Parcel Sale shall
be used to offset the documented costs of the Phase 1 Minimum Improvements to
determine any TIF Assistance adjustment and sizing of the Phase 1 TIF Note based
on the Market Return Rate in accordance with Section 3.5(c)(i), and
(B) if there is a 7200 Parcel Sale after the issuance of the Phase 1 TIF
Note and before the issuance of the Phase 2 TIF Note, then the 7200 Parcel Sale
Net Proceeds from such 7200 Parcel Sale shall be used to offset the previously
documented costs of the Phase 1 Minimum Improvements to determine any TIF
Assistance adjustment and sizing of the Phase 2 TIF Note based on the Market
Return Rate in accordance with Section 3.5(c)(i).
(iii) Contingency Funds and Allowances. The maximum principal amount of
the TIF Notes is currently calculated using the contingency funds and escalation
allowances set forth in the initial projected TIF Pro Forma attached as Exhibit D.
Developer shall provide the Authority documentation identifying the actual use of all
contingency funds and escalation allowances and the same shall be identified in detail in
the updated actual TIF Pro Forma delivered in accordance with Section 3.5(c)(i). For
purposes of the TIF Assistance provided herein and the final principal amount of the TIF
Notes, all contingency funds and escalation allowances shall be used only for costs related
to actual, documented increased costs for the Minimum Improvements, and the principal
amount of the TIF Notes may be reduced if any such contingency funds and/or escalation
allowances have been used by Developer or the 7200 Parcel Owner, as applicable, (A) for
material changes to the Minimum Improvements not approved by the Authority hereunder,
(B) in a manner that enhances any private spaces of the Minimum Improvements, and/or
(C) for costs or expenses unrelated to the Minimum Improvements.
(iv) Developer Fee. In no case shall the developer fee for either Phase exceed
5.0% of the total actual costs of the Minimum Improvements for the applicable Phase, each
as shown in an updated actual TIF Pro Forma prepared after Completion of each such Phase
of the Minimum Improvements.
(v) Conservation Easement. Developer and/or 7200 Parcel Owner may pursue
a conservation easement on the northwesterly portion of the Project Area. Developer will
keep the Authority informed on this activity. All income or other economic benefit derived
from or related to any such conservation easement shall be included the financial
accounting for the Project and shall be taken into consideration by the Authority when the
Authority reviews the updated actual TIF Pro Forma and other information under Article
III prior to issuing the TIF Notes and in connection with any Lookback Pro Forma

(d) Lookback; Excess Return; TIF Adjustment.
(i) Upon the earlier of:
(A) the 15th anniversary of the date of issuance of the Phase 1 TIF
Note if the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements are a Phase 2 Hotel Project, or the
10th anniversary of the date of issuance of the Phase 1 TIF Note if the Phase 2
Minimum Improvements are a Phase 2 Residential Project, and
(B) 30 days prior to closing on a sale of all or a part of the Phase 1
Minimum Improvements to any party other than a Related Party of Developer
occurring prior to the date upon which the TIF Notes are paid in full or terminated
hereunder,
Developer shall submit to the Authority an updated TIF Pro Forma and any other
reasonable and relevant information and documentation as the Authority requires
in order to calculate the IRR for the Minimum Improvements as of such date (the
“Lookback Date”), including, without limitation, a certified cost and revenue
analysis, including for any applicable sale or then-current appraised value, in each
case, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (the
“Lookback Pro Forma”). This analysis will include, without limitation all
acquisition costs, Qualified Redevelopment Costs, and all other improvement and
redevelopment costs incurred by Developer and/or the 7200 Parcel Owner for the
Minimum Improvements identified within the Lookback Pro Forma, as well as
historical Net Operating Income, debt service, and TIF Notes payments. This
analysis will also include any 7200 Parcel Sale Net Proceeds if there has been a
7200 Parcel Sale. The Authority may retain a financial advisor, accountant,
appraiser, and/or other professional with similar expertise to audit the submitted
Lookback Pro Forma, at Developer’s cost.
(ii) The Lookback Pro Forma and related information shall be used by the
Authority to determine whether the Minimum Improvements as of the Lookback Date
yielded an Excess Return (defined below). The IRR shall be used to measure any Excess
Return in accordance with the following sliding scale:

Excess Return is
created

date of the Go-Ahead Letter for the Phase
1 Minimum Improvements

(iii) If the actual IRR on the Minimum Improvements as of the Lookback Date
(including any applicable sale proceeds) exceeds the applicable IRR in the table above,
then the dollar value of the proceeds and other cash flow received by Developer to cause
the actual IRR to exceed the applicable IRR shall be the “Excess Return”. If any Excess
Return exists, then the outstanding principal balance of the TIF Notes will be reduced to
eliminate such Excess Return. If any Excess Return exceeds the then outstanding principal
balance of the TIF Notes, Developer shall pay such excess (the “TIF Adjustment”) in
lawful money of the United States within 30 days from the date on which the Authority
gives Developer notice of the amount of the TIF Adjustment due to the Authority;
provided, however, in no event shall the TIF Adjustment exceed the aggregate sum of all
payments (both principal and interest) actually made by the Authority to Developer under
the TIF Notes.
(iv) Until the Authority is paid the TIF Adjustment in full, the Authority shall
have a lien in its favor upon the 7250 Parcel to secure the amount of the TIF Adjustment.
Such lien shall attach and take effect from the date the Excess Return is calculated by the
Authority as contemplated by this section. Any such lien may be foreclosed as a mortgage
on real estate if the TIF Adjustment is not paid by the date required by this section. A lien
under this section is prior to all other liens and encumbrances on the 7250 Parcel except
(1) the first priority Mortgage on the 7250 Parcel; (2) liens for real estate taxes and other
governmental assessments or charges against the Phase 1 Minimum Improvements; and
(3) all leases executed prior to the date that the lien attaches and takes effect. The parties
will reasonably cooperate with the sale process and work in good faith to promptly
determine any TIF Adjustment such that any TIF Adjustment is paid by Developer at or
before the closing of the sale of the Phase 1 Minimum Improvements so as to avoid any
unreasonable delay to the closing of such sale.
(v) If the Minimum Improvements have not yielded an Excess Return as of

3.6 Assignment of Note. Subject to Developer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of
this Section 3.6, the TIF Notes will transfer to Developer’s successor at the time of any assignment of this
Agreement by Developer made in accordance with Section 8.2. Except for such assignments, the TIF Notes
shall not be assignable or transferable without the prior written consent of the Authority (which consent

of, Section 10.9), and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (subject to, without limitation, the
provisions of Section 8.2(b)); provided, however, Developer may, without the Authority’s consent, but
upon prior written notice to the Authority (a) assign the TIF Notes, together with Developer’s rights and

anything herein to the contrary, as a condition to any transfer or assignment of the TIF Notes, any assignee
or transferee must execute and deliver to the Authority a certificate, in form and substance reasonably

thereof;
(v) that in making its decision to acquire the TIF Notes, the assignee or
transferee has relied upon independent investigations made by the assignee or transferee
and, to the extent believed by such assignee or transferee to be appropriate, the assignee’s
or transferee’s representatives, including its own professional, tax and other advisors, and
has not relied upon any representation or warranty from the Authority, or any of its officers,
employees, agents, affiliates or representatives, with respect to the value of the TIF Notes;
(vi) that the Authority has not made any warranty, acknowledgment or
covenant, in writing or otherwise, to the assignee or transferee regarding the tax
consequences, if any, of the acquisition and investment in the TIF Notes;
(vii) that the assignee or transferee or its representatives have been given a full
opportunity to examine all documents and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from,

investment in the TIF Notes and all such questions have been answered to the full
satisfaction of the assignee or transferee;
(viii) that the assignee or transferee has evaluated the merits and risks of
investment in the TIF Notes and has determined that the TIF Notes is a suitable investment
for the assignee or transferee in light of such party’s overall financial condition and

securities may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, except in certain limited circumstances; and
(x) for purposes of federal securities laws, that no market for the TIF Notes
exists and no market for the TIF Notes is intended to be developed.
3.7 Action to Reduce Taxes.
Throughout the term of this Agreement, neither Developer nor 7200 Parcel Owner shall take any
action, and suffer no circumstances to exist or action to be taken by others (to the extent Developer may
prevent the same), the effect of which would be to render the Project Area or any portion thereof to be no
longer generally subject to real property taxation. Before the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
neither Developer nor 7200 Parcel Owner shall:
(a) seek administrative review or judicial review of the applicability of any tax statute
relating to the taxation of the Project Area determined by any tax official to be applicable or raise the
inapplicability of any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings, including delinquent tax proceedings;
(b) seek administrative review or judicial review of the constitutionality of any tax
statute relating to the taxation of the Project Area determined by any tax official, or raise the
unconstitutionality of any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings, including delinquent tax
proceedings; or
(c) seek any tax deferral or abatement, either presently or prospectively authorized
under any state or federal law, of the taxation of the Project Area.

demolition permits), Developer or 7200 Parcel Owner, as applicable, shall provide the Authority with a Go-
Ahead Letter for the applicable Phase of the Minimum Improvements, including the Financing
Commitments for both debt and equity Phase of the Minimum Improvements. If Developer or 7200 Parcel
Owner, as applicable, fails to submit a Go-Ahead Letter and the foregoing information acceptable to the
Authority within said period of time or any additional period to which the Authority may agree, the
Authority may notify Developer of its failure to comply with the requirement of this Section 4.5, such
failure being a Default hereunder.

easement agreement(s) in the form as required in the Phase 1 City Approvals or City
ordinances and to be prepared by the City attorney.
(ii) A permanent, public easement for access and use of the North/South Path
(the “Public Path Easement”). The Public Path Easement shall be granted pursuant to
easement agreement(s) in the form as required in the Phase 1 City Approvals or City
ordinances and to be prepared by the City attorney.
(iii) A permanent, public easement for access and use of the Sidewalks and

City’s Authorized Representative in accordance with, and subject to the terms of,
Section 10.9.
(v) The Public Crossing Agreement in accordance with Section 4.13(b).
(b) Other Terms of City Easements. Neither the City nor the Authority will pay an
acquisition cost to Developer for any of the City Easements or any maintenance costs related to the
easement areas thereunder. Developer shall be responsible for maintenance within all easement areas under
the City Easements. Any of the City Easements may be combined into single easement agreement at the
discretion of the City attorney. Developer shall, at Developer’s sole cost and expense, cause a licensed
surveyor to determine the final, actual legal description of the North/South Road, North/South Path,
Sidewalks and Streetscapes, and Public Plaza for the purpose of the granting the City Easements with
respect to such elements. Such legal descriptions will be consistent with the areas and boundaries of such
areas as described and depicted in the Phase 1 City Approvals and the exhibits to this Agreement.
(c) Future Transit Easements. Developer and 7200 Parcel Owner shall grant future
easements for future mass transit (e.g., bus) stops in open areas of the Project Area along portions of France
Avenue and/or Gallagher Drive at no cost to the City or the Authority. The responsible transit agency(ies)
shall be responsible for initial construction and maintenance, repair and replacement of the surface
improvements in any future easement area.
4.7 Public Art. The Phase 1 Minimum Improvements shall include at least two (2) or three (3)
installations of public art in the west and east ends of the Public Plaza or the France Avenue frontage
generally depicted on the Phase 1 Development Plan (the “Public Art”), such Public Art shall be a
permanent sculpture, fountain, mural or equivalent art installation. Developer shall engage a professional
art consultant or a landscape architect experienced in public art visioning, commissioning, and
implementation in connection with the creation of the Public Art, subject to a public engagement process
approved by the City within 30 days after identification of the art consultant. Within such 30-day period,
the City Manager may also designate up to three people to provide input and guidance to the art consultant.
Developer will reasonably consider the recommendations of the consultant and the public engagement
process in its final selection of the Public Art. The Public Art shall have a value of no less than $100,000.00,
in the aggregate (including artist commissions and artist materials, labor, and installation charges, but
exclusive of fees paid to such professional art consultant, costs related to the public engagement process,
and costs for other aspects of the Minimum Improvements which are installed in connection with or
ancillary to such Public Art, but which do not directly form a part of such Public Art). Developer shall at
all times maintain the Public Art in good, first class condition, at no cost to the City or the Authority.
Developer shall permit additional pieces of public art to be installed in the Public Easement Areas in the
future; however, Developer shall not be responsible for the cost or maintenance of such additional pieces
of public art. Additional decorative artwork is anticipated to be included in the Minimum Improvements
building facades, as generally depicted in the Phase 1 Development Plans. Such additional artwork in
encouraged in the public realm areas, but is not required under this Agreement, but may be required under
the City Approvals.
4.8 Environmental Sustainability. Both the Phase 1 Building and the Phase 2 Building (in each
case, the shell buildings) must be designed and certified to at least LEED Silver certification (most recent
edition for new construction) as prepared by United States Green Building Council (USGBC), or equivalent
standard that complies with the City’s sustainability policy and the Authority’s TIF policy and approved in
advance by the Authority’s Designated Representative. Tenant improvements constructed in each such
building should be similarly certified, but separate certifications are optional for individual tenants;
provided, however, at no time shall any tenant improvements cause either shell building to no longer qualify
the LEED Silver certification (or equivalent approved in accordance with this section). During the term of
Execution Draft
25
Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
the TIF District, Developer shall cause such certification to be renewed every three (3) years or as otherwise
required by USGBC or governing body of the applicable certification. The failure of Developer to cause
either of the Phase 1 Building or the Phase 2 Building to be so designed and certified upon their respective
Completion and/or the failure of Developer to cause such certification to be continually renewed during the
term of the TIF District, shall be Default hereunder.
4.9 Equity and Inclusion.
(a) Developer’s Efforts/Contribution. Developer is committed to partnering with
contractors, vendors and investors that meaningfully support diversity, equity and inclusion and/or
community engagement and that meet the goals of this Section. One of the important criteria considered
before partnering with contractors, vendors and investors is whether or not such parties have diversity,
equity and inclusion programs and/or outreach plans that impact lives in the community. Developer is
committed to fostering a healthy culture that embraces and promotes diversity, equity and inclusion and
that continually improves as it grows. As Developer grows, Developer is committed to hiring based on skill
and experience regardless of race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, age or religion.
(b) Workforce Goals. Developer shall, and shall cause 7200 Parcel Owner and the
general contractor for each Phase of the Minimum Improvements to, use good faith efforts as defined by
Minnesota Department of Human Rights to include businesses that are majority owned by under-
represented groups including minorities, women, veterans and people with disabilities in the development
and construction of both Phases of the Minimum Improvements. Developer shall, and shall cause 7200
Parcel Owner and the general contractor for each Phase of the Minimum Improvements to, use good faith
efforts to employ under-represented people on the construction site for both Phases of the Minimum
Improvements. Such good faith efforts include endeavoring to achieve the following workforce goals to
maximize participation opportunities for the local workforce, including women and minorities for each
Phase of the Minimum Improvements:
(i) Minority – 25% of the total labor hours for the Minimum Improvements.
(ii) Female – 12% of the total labor hours for the Minimum Improvements.
(iii) 15% of the total subcontracted work will be awarded to businesses that
qualify as minority and women owned business enterprises.
(iv) These goals are expressed as a percentage of the total craft hours on the
Minimum Improvements. Minorities includes African American (not of Hispanic origin),
Hispanics, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans and Alaskan Natives.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, Section 10.9, the
Authority’s Authorized Representative is authorized to approve reasonable changes to the above goals for
the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements which may be requested by Developer, which request must be made
by no later than upon Developer’s submission of the Go-Ahead Letter for the Phase 2 Minimum
Improvements.
(c) Good Faith Efforts. For the purpose of this section, “good faith efforts” shall be
defined by compliance with the following:
(i) At the Project site
Execution Draft
26
Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
• Post EEO policy and anti-harassment policies prominently on
employee bulletin boards and job sites. Update at least once a year
with new contact information and signature of the contractor’s
chief executive officer.
• Post all government-mandated posters (Minnesota, federal, local)
in areas available to employees and applicants and on all job sites.
• All job sites to the extent possible should be accessible to people
with disabilities, specifically people with mobility impairments
(restrooms, break-rooms, etc.). If all restrooms are not accessible,
provide comparable facilities for people with disabilities.
• Check employee locker rooms, break rooms, restrooms, and work
areas (job sites) for potentially offensive cartoons, etc.
(ii) Recruiting
• All personnel involved in hiring, selection, promotion,
disciplinary and related processes should be trained to ensure the
elimination of bias (implicit bias training) in personnel actions.
• Include an EEO tagline or similar statement in all want ads or
other external job announcements. If you post jobs on your web
site, include an EEO tagline.
• Communicate to the union to ensure that the union accepts people
for membership in a nondiscriminatory way and that they refer
people to jobs fairly.
• Make formal and informal contact with community organizations,
apprenticeship training organizations, and unions, and other
recruitment organizations (specifically those organizations that
focus on women, people of color, Indigenous people, and people
with disabilities) that may be able to refer qualified applicants for
jobs you have available.
• Provide training, preparation and workplace accommodations so
that people with disabilities can have rewarding careers.
• Contact the Department of Employment and Economic
Development (DEED) Vocational Rehabilitation Services unit for
the purpose of forming partnerships to help prepare people with
disabilities for meaningful employment opportunities.
• Participate in construction community job fairs or other
construction-related events.
• When using paid advertising, include news media or websites
geared toward women, communities of color, and/or people with
disabilities.

Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
(iii) Selection and Hiring
• Review your application form and remove any questions that are
not job-related. Include an EEO statement on the form itself.
Review the application to make sure no illegal/potentially illegal
information is requested.
• Review EEO/Applicant tracking surveys: they should ask for
necessary tracking information only and should be clearly marked
as voluntary. Remove the forms from the application itself before
the selection process begins.
• Make sure supervisors are using legal criteria in their hiring
decisions.
• If you use any pre-employment tests (math tests, typing tests, skill
tests, “personality” or “integrity” tests), these tests should directly
relate to the jobs for which they’re used.
(iv) Termination of Employment
• Develop a written termination policy and/or progressive discipline
policy. All supervisors should implement your process
consistently.
• If appropriate, conduct exit interviews or administer exit surveys.
(v) Employee Files and Record-Keeping
• Retain all information that could reveal age, race, disability,
religion, etc. as confidentially as possible. (I-9 forms, insurance
forms, medical leave requests, etc.)
• An employee’s file should tell the complete story of this
employee’s history with your company: orientation, training,
performance evaluations, wage increases, promotion information,
disciplinary notices, etc. All pay increases should be documented,
and nondiscriminatory reasons for pay should be obvious. (Some
companies create a checklist for each employee file so that they
can be certain that all important documentation is retained.)
• Retain applications for at least a year. Develop an applicant flow
log or similar tracking system. Make sure that you can track each
applicant back to their EEO survey or affirmative action data page,
if completed. (You cannot conduct a meaningful analysis of your
selection process without this information.)
• All files of terminated employees should show the reason for
termination, whether voluntary or involuntary.
(i) Other
Execution Draft
28
Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
• Conduct training for all employees of your EEO and anti-
harassment policies in safety meetings at the beginning of each
project and additionally throughout the year for new hires.
Emphasize reporting procedures.
• Make reasonable efforts to solicit people of color, Indigenous, and
female-owned businesses to participate in subcontracts or vendor
contracts.
(d) Developer shall, and shall cause 7200 Parcel Owner and the general contractor for
each Phase of the Minimum Improvements to, implement an equity and inclusion outreach plan (an
“EIOP”) reasonably approved by the Authority, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Attached as Exhibit K is the current EIOP for the Phase 1 Minimum Improvements. Developer
must submit the EIOP for the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements for the Authority’s prior approval by no
later than with issuance of the Go-Ahead Letter for the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements.
(e) Promptly after Completion of each Phase of the Minimum Improvements,
Developer shall submit the Equity and Inclusion Report in substantially the form attached as Exhibit L
with respect to the applicable Phase of the Minimum Improvements. This report shall summarize the actual
percentages attained after implementation of the EIOP. This report shall include, without limitation:
(i) business name, trade category, contact name and business address of each
MBE, WBE, or VBE firm engaged in the Project;
(ii) total hours worked for each construction trade;
(iii) hours worked for each construction trade by minority workers including
women workers, and workers considered BIPOC;
(iv) employer of the BIPOC and women workers; and
(v) calculation of percentage.
(f) In the event that the Authority reasonably determines that Developer has not used,
and/or has not caused 7200 Parcel Owner and/or the general contractor for either Phase or both Phases of
the Minimum Improvements to use, good faith effort to achieve these goals (by failing to cause the general
contractor for each Phase of the Minimum Improvements to comply with the approved EIOP), the Authority
may assess a penalty against Developer for such failure(s) pertaining to the applicable Phase or Phases. The
penalty shall be a cash payment made by Developer to a workforce training organization selected by the
Authority that actively trains underrepresented people in the construction trades in the Twin Cities region.
The penalty shall be no more than $175,000 per Phase. For avoidance of doubt, the payment of any such
penalty shall be the obligation of Developer regardless of which Phase any such failure relates to, and the
Authority may only enforce such payment from Developer, not from 7200 Parcel Owner.
At no time shall Developer take any action to avoid exercising the good faith efforts required in this section
as a means to reduce the financial costs associated with endeavoring to achieve the workforce goals
identified in Section 4.9(b). Any action(s) to intentionally pay the foregoing penalty in lieu of exercising
the good faith efforts required in this section shall be considered a Default with Cure Rights determined in
accordance with Section 9.4.

Improvements is delayed due to Unavoidable Delays or for any other reason, this could affect the amount
of Available Tax Increments and thus the total amount which may be available to pay the TIF Notes.
Developer acknowledges that if the Completion of the Minimum Improvements is delayed due to
Unavoidable Delays or for any other reason, there will be no compensation to Developer or any other party
for any reduction in the amount available to pay or refund the TIF Notes.

thereof after the Certificate of Completion has been obtained with respect to the applicable Phase of the
Minimum Improvements, without obtaining the prior written approval of the Authority.

Area to provide security for construction financing.
5.2 Copy of Notice of Default to Mortgagee. If the City or the Authority delivers any notice or
demand to Developer with respect to any Default under this Agreement, the City or the Authority, as
applicable, will endeavor to also deliver a copy of such notice or demand to the mortgagee of any Mortgage
at the address of such mortgagee provided in the recorded Mortgage or any other address thereafter provided
to the Authority in a written notice from Developer or the mortgagee, provided that failure of the City or
the Authority to give any such notice shall not limit the City’s or the Authority’s ability to exercise any of
its remedies hereunder.
5.3 Mortgagee’s Option to Cure Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the mortgagee under any Mortgage will have the right at its option, to cure or remedy such Event
of Default within the cure periods set forth herein.
5.4 Rights of a Foreclosing Mortgagee. Except as provided in Section 5.6, an individual or
entity who acquires title to all or a portion of the Minimum Improvements through the foreclosure of a
mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure on such portion of the Project Area remains subject to each of the
restrictions set forth in this Agreement and remains subject to all of the obligations of Developer, or any
successor in interest to Developer, under the terms of this Agreement, but neither the purchaser at a
foreclosure sale, the grantee under a deed in lieu of foreclosure, nor any subsequent transferee from a
mortgagee shall have any personal liability for a breach of such obligations under this Agreement so long
as:
(a) The party acquiring title through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure observes
all of the restrictions set forth in the Agreement;
(b) The party who acquired title through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure does
not undertake or permit any other party to undertake any Minimum Improvements on the portion of the
Project Area it owns;
(c) The City has no obligation to approve any plans for Minimum Improvements or a
portion of the Minimum Improvements the foreclosing mortgagee (or mortgagee obtaining a deed in lieu
of foreclosure) owns or to issue any related building permits.
The purpose of this section is to permit a foreclosing lender (or mortgagee or purchaser obtaining a deed in
lieu of foreclosure or a subsequent transferee) to hold title to the portion of the Project Area it acquires
through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, subject to, but without personal liability for the
obligations under this Agreement, until it can sell the portion it holds to a third party who will assume the
obligations of Developer under the terms of this Agreement and proceed with the construction of the
Minimum Improvements pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If, rather than passively holding title to
the portion of the Project Area it acquires through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the foreclosing
lender (or mortgagee obtaining a deed in lieu of foreclosure or subsequent transferee) or other purchaser at
a foreclosure sale desires to construct the Minimum Improvements, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale
must assume and perform each of the obligations of Developer, or the applicable successor to the interest
Execution Draft
37
Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
of Developer, under this Agreement as to the portion of the Minimum Improvements subject to foreclosure.
This section does not restrict the authority of the Authority to pursue its rights under any outstanding
security, exercise remedies otherwise available under this Agreement or suspend the performance of the
obligations of the Authority or Developer under this Agreement as otherwise allowed. The Authority agrees
to reasonably cooperate with any foreclosing lender (or mortgagee obtaining a deed in lieu of foreclosure)
or other purchaser at a foreclosure sale in pursuing the Minimum Improvements in accordance with this
Agreement.
5.5 Events of Default Under Mortgage. Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain an agreement from any mortgagee under a Mortgage that in the event Developer or 7200 Parcel
Owner is in default under any Mortgage, the mortgagee will use commercially reasonable efforts, within
30 days after it becomes aware of any such default and prior to exercising any remedy available to it due to
such default, to notify the Authority in writing of (i) the fact of default; (ii) the elements of default; and (iii)
the actions required to cure the default. Developer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
an agreement in any such Mortgage, that if, within the time period required by the Mortgage, the Authority
cures any default under the Mortgage, the mortgagee will pursue none of its remedies under the Mortgage
based on such default, provided that failure of Developer to obtain such an agreement from any such
mortgagee shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
5.6 Subordination of Agreement. The City and the Authority will, upon the request of the
holder of a Mortgage, execute and record a subordination agreement pursuant to which the City and the
Authority agree that, upon a default by Developer under a Mortgage, the holder of the Mortgage may elect,
in an instrument to be recorded in the Hennepin County land records and delivered to the City and the
Authority before the commencement of proceedings to foreclose the Mortgage, to either (1) treat this
Agreement as being subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage such that the foreclosure of the Mortgage and
the failure to redeem from such foreclosure will extinguish and terminate this Agreement and the TIF Notes
will automatically be cancelled and rescinded; or (2) to treat this Agreement as having priority over the
Mortgage in which case this Agreement and the TIF Notes will survive the foreclosure of the Mortgage and
this Agreement will be binding upon the holder of the Sheriff’s Certificate issued in conjunction with the
foreclosure of the Mortgage, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.4. If the holder of the Mortgage
fails to notify the City and the Authority of its election under this Section 5.6 on or before the
commencement of foreclosure proceedings, the holder of the Mortgage shall be deemed to have elected to
treat this Agreement as being subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage such that the foreclosure of the
Mortgage and the failure to redeem from such foreclosure will extinguish and terminate this Agreement
and the TIF Notes will automatically terminate. The City and Authority each further agree that if the holder
of a Mortgage elects to treat this Agreement as having priority over the Mortgage, the City and Authority,
upon the completion of the foreclosure without redemption, agree that the time for the completion of the
Minimum Improvements is extended to a date 12 months following the expiration of all applicable
redemption periods or such later date the City and Authority approve in writing.

of the importance of the Minimum Improvements to the general welfare of the City and the Authority, and
the substantial financing and other public aids that have been made available by the City and the Authority
for the purpose of making such Minimum Improvements possible, the qualifications and identity of

Authority are willing to enter into this Agreement with Developer because of the qualifications and identity
of Developer.

10% ownership interest and be responsible for the day-to-day management of the
Minimum Improvements, and a reputable, institutional investor will hold up to a 90%

permitted assignee party, as applicable, assumes and agrees to perform the obligations of
Developer under this Agreement, and (2) Developer provides the Authority with such
information and documentation required by the Authority to confirm the completion of

(v) The transferee must demonstrate, in a manner satisfactory to the Authority,
its ability to perform all assumed obligations in this Agreement.

contrary, neither the transfer of the Minimum Improvements, or any portion thereof, prior to the issuance
of the Certificate of Completion for the corresponding Phase of the Minimum Improvements or the City’s
or the Authority’s consent to such a transfer will relieve Developer of its obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, in the event of a transfer to a permitted assignee party under Section 8.2(a)(iii), the
Authority and the City will release Developer of its obligations under this Agreement accruing after the
date of such permitted transfer.

more of the events listed in Sections 9.2 and 9.3.
9.2 Developer Events of Default. The following shall be Events of Default:
(a) subject to Unavoidable Delays and Cure Rights, Developer’s or 7200 Parcel
Owner’s failure to achieve Commencement and Completion of any aspect of the Minimum Improvements
by the applicable “Default Date” set forth in Section 4.1, provided that if the Authority issues a Certificate
of Completion, any such failure related to the Phase of the Minimum Improvements for which such
Certificate of Completion applies shall no longer be an Event of Default;
(b) subject to Unavoidable Delays and Cure Rights, Developer shall Default in its
obligations with respect to the construction of the Minimum Improvements (including the nature and the
date for the completion of the various elements thereof), or either Developer or 7200 Parcel Owner shall
abandon or substantially suspend construction work on the Minimum Improvements, and any such Default,
violation, abandonment or suspension is not cured, ended or remedied within 30 days after written notice
to do so, provided that if the Authority issues a Certificate of Completion, such failure shall no longer be
an Event of Default;

Project Area and/or the Minimum Improvements or any part thereof, and such violation is not cured within
30 days after written notice to do so;

(e) if, prior to the delivery of the Certificate of Completion for either Phase of the
Minimum Improvements, either Developer or 7200 Parcel Owner shall (i) file any petition in bankruptcy
or for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief
under the United States Bankruptcy Act of 1978, as amended or under any similar federal or State law; or

Improvements, or part thereof, shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against Developer or 7200
Parcel Owner, and shall not be discharged within 90 days after such appointed, or if Developer or 7200
Parcel Owner shall consent to or acquiesce in such appointment.
9.3 City and Authority Events of Default. Subject to Cure Rights and events beyond the City’s
and/or the Authority’s control, the failure of the City or the Authority to observe or perform any covenant,
condition, obligation or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under this Agreement, and the
continuation of such failure for a period of 30 days after written notice of such failure from any party hereto
shall be an Event of Default for the City or the Authority.
9.4 Cure Rights. If a Default occurs under this Agreement which reasonably requires more
than 30 days to cure, such Default shall not constitute an Event of Default, provided that the curing of the
Default is promptly commenced upon receipt by the defaulting party of the written notice of the Default,
and with due diligence is thereafter continuously prosecuted to completion and is completed within a
reasonable period of time, and provided that the defaulting party keeps the non-defaulting party informed
at all times of its progress in curing the Default; provided, however in no event shall such additional cure
period for any Default extend beyond 180 days.
9.5 Authority Remedies on Developer Events of Default. Whenever any Event of Default
occurs by Developer, the Authority may take any one or more of the following actions:
(a) Termination. Terminate this Agreement (but not either TIF Note if then issued by
the Authority);
(b) Withhold TIF Assistance. Only for any uncured material Event of Default, the
Authority may suspend interest accrual and/or withhold payments due under the TIF Notes until Developer
has cured any Default which gave rise to such Event of Default; provided, however,
(i) the Authority may not suspend interest accrual and/or withhold payments
due under the Phase 1 TIF Note due to an Event of Default of Developer arising from 7200
Parcel Owner’s or Developer’s failure to achieve Commencement and Completion of any
aspect of the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements by the applicable “Default Date” set forth
in Section 4.1, and
(ii) the Authority may also not suspend interest accrual and/or withhold
payments due under the Phase 1 TIF Note due to an Event of Default for Developer arising
solely from a 7200 Parcel Default, and
(iii) if the Phase 2 TIF Note has been issued and there is an Event of Default
of Developer due to any failure by 7200 Parcel Owner (including any inability of
Developer to cause 7200 Parcel Owner) to perform any act or fulfill any other obligation
hereunder relating solely to the 7200 Parcel, the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements, and/or
Execution Draft
45
Redevelopment Agreement (7200-7250 France Avenue)
4895-5638-2034\15
the 7200 Parcel Owner (e.g., 7200 Parcel Owner violating Sections 3.7, 4.11, or 6.1 with
respect to the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements, and/or the 7200 Parcel Owner) (each a
“7200 Parcel Default”), then the Authority may only suspend interest accrual and/or
withhold payments due under the Phase 2 TIF Note as a remedy under this subsection as a
result to any such 7200 Parcel Default, and the Authority may not suspend payments or
accrual of interest under the Phase 1 TIF Note as a remedy under this subsection as a result
to any such 7200 Parcel Default;
(c) Suspend Performance. Suspend performance under this Agreement until it receives
assurances from Developer or the holder of any Mortgage, deemed adequate by the Authority, that
Developer or the holder of any Mortgage will cure the Event of Default and continue its performance under
this Agreement,
(d) Withhold Certificate of Completion. Withhold a Certificate of Completion where
such Event of Default relates to Completion of a Phase of the Minimum Improvements or the issuance of a
Certificate of Completion;
(e) Other Remedies. All other remedies available at law or in equity that may appear
necessary or desirable to the Authority to collect any payments due under this Agreement, or to enforce
performance and observance of any obligation, agreement, or covenant of Developer under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, a right to specific performance.
For avoidance of doubt, and except as may be provided in any separate agreement relating to the
Project under which the 7200 Parcel Owner is a party (e.g., the Public Plaza Easement agreement), upon an
Event of Default of Developer, the Authority’s and City’s rights and remedies shall be against Developer,
and neither the Authority nor the City shall have any right to pursue any such remedy against the 7200
Parcel Owner for such Event of Default of Developer (even if the 7200 Parcel Owner is the party causing
such Event of Default of Developer).
9.6 City Remedies on Developer Events of Default. Whenever any Event of Default of
Developer occurs, the City may suspend performance of its obligations under this Agreement and take
whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to the City to enforce performance
and observance of any obligation, agreement, or covenant of Developer under this Agreement, including
an action for specific performance.
9.7 Developer Remedies on City or Authority Events of Default. Whenever any Event of
Default of the City or the Authority occurs, Developer, may take whatever action at law or in equity may
appear necessary or desirable to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement, or
covenant of the City or the Authority under this Agreement, including, without limitation, an action for
specific performance.
9.8 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the City, the
Authority or Developer is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies unless
otherwise expressly stated, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right
or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Authority, the City or
Developer to exercise any remedy reserved to it, it shall not be necessary to give notice, other than such
notice as may be required in this Article IX.

9.9 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. If any agreement contained in this
Agreement should be breached by any party and thereafter waived by another party, such waiver shall be
limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous
or subsequent breach hereunder.
9.10 Reimbursement of Attorneys’ Fees. Whenever a Default occurs and the non-defaulting
party shall employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of payments due or to become due
or for the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement under this Agreement,
the defaulting party shall, within 10 days of written demand by the non-defaulting party pay to such non-
defaulting party the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred by the non-
defaulting party. In the event of any enforcement action hereunder following a Default, the prevailing party,
in addition to other relief, shall be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and costs. The City, Authority and
Developer waive their right to a jury trial on the issues of who is the prevailing party and the reasonable
amount of attorneys’ fees and costs to be awarded to the prevailing party. Those issues will be decided by
the trial judge upon motion by one or both parties, such motion to be decided based on the record as of the
end of the jury trial augmented only by the testimony and/or affidavits from the attorneys and their staff.
The parties agree that, subject to the trial judge’s discretion, the intent of this clause is to have all issues
related to the award of attorneys’ fees and costs decided by the trial judge as quickly as practicable.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
STATE OF MINNESOTA
CITY OF EDINA
HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
LIMITED REVENUE TAXABLE TAX INCREMENT NOTE
The HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA (the
“Authority”) acknowledges itself to be indebted and, for value received, promises to pay to the order of
7250 FRANCE GROUP, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Developer”), solely from the
source, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter provided, up to the principal amount of this Limited
Revenue Taxable Tax Increment Note (this “Note”) as provided herein, together with simple interest
thereon accrued on the unpaid principal balance hereof from the date hereof, at the rate of interest of
[________________] percent ([____]%) per annum, on the Payment Dates (as hereinafter defined). This
Note is executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Redevelopment
Agreement dated as of April 18, 2023, by and among the City of Edina, Minnesota (the “City”), the
Authority and Developer (as the same may be amended, modified, and/or supplemented from time to time,
the “Redevelopment Agreement”), and is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations on payment set
forth therein, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 3.5 (TIF Assistance and Potential
Adjustment) of the Redevelopment Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Redevelopment Agreement.
Each payment on this Note is payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America
which on the date of such payment is legal tender for public and private debts and shall be made by check
or draft made payable to Developer and mailed to Developer at its postal address within the United States
which shall be designated from time to time by Developer.
This Note is a special and limited obligation and not a general obligation of the Authority, which
has been issued by the Authority pursuant to, and in full conformity with, the Constitution and the laws of
the State of Minnesota, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794 (the “TIF Act”),
and the terms and conditions of the Redevelopment Agreement and a resolution of the Board of the
Authority, to aid in financing a “project” (as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision
8) of the Authority within the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District established by the Authority
pursuant to Resolution No. _______ (the “TIF District”).
H-2
4863-2456-7896\1
Subject to the terms of the Redevelopment Agreement, principal of and interest on this Note shall
be payable solely from and in the amount of Available Tax Increments (as hereinafter defined) on each
February 1 and August 1 commencing on the later of August 1, 2026 or the first February 1 or August 1
immediately following the date hereof (the “Payment Dates”). On each Payment Date, the Authority shall
apply Available Tax Increments to the payment of principal of and interest on this Note.
To the extent that the Authority is unable to pay the total principal and interest due on this Note at
or prior to February 1, 2041 (the “Maturity Date”) as a result of its having received as of such date
insufficient Available Tax Increments, such failure shall not constitute a default under this Note and the
Authority shall have no further obligation to pay unpaid balance of principal or accrued interest that may
remain after such Maturity Date.
All payments made by the Authority on this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and then
to the principal amount of this Note. If Available Tax Increment is insufficient to pay any accrued interest
due, such unpaid interest shall be carried forward without interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and charged for actual days principal is unpaid.
“Available Tax Increments” means up to 90% of the tax increments derived from the property
within the TIF District which have been actually received and retained by the Authority from the County
of Hennepin, Minnesota, pursuant to the TIF Act, for the six months before each Payment Date.
EXCEPT AS TO THE OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS FROM THE AVAILABLE TAX
INCREMENTS, THIS NOTE IS NOT A DEBT OF THE AUTHORITY, THE CITY, OR THE STATE
OF MINNESOTA (THE “STATE”), AND NEITHER THE AUTHORITY, THE CITY, THE STATE NOR
ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF SHALL BE LIABLE ON THIS NOTE, NOR SHALL
THIS NOTE BE PAYABLE OUT OF ANY FUNDS OR PROPERTIES OTHER THAN AVAILABLE
TAX INCREMENTS.
Upon an Event of Default by Developer under the Redevelopment Agreement, the Authority may
exercise the remedies with respect to this Note described in the Redevelopment Agreement, the terms of
which are incorporated herein by reference, including, without limitation, the suspension or termination of
the Authority’s obligation to make any payments under this Note. For avoidance of doubt, the terms of
Redevelopment Agreement incorporated herein by the foregoing reference, shall, for purposes of this Note,
survive any termination of the Redevelopment Agreement occurring after the issuance of this Note.
The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Note is prepayable in whole or in part
at any time by the Authority without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment shall affect the amount or
timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made under this Note.
Developer shall never have or be deemed to have the right to compel any exercise of any taxing
power of the Authority or the City or any other public body, and neither the Authority nor the City nor any
director, commissioner, council member, board member, officer, employee or agent of the Authority or the
City, nor any person executing or registering this Note shall be liable personally hereon by reason of the
issuance or registration hereof or otherwise.
THE AUTHORITY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, COVENANT, OR WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT THE AVAILABLE TAX INCREMENTS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO
PAY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THIS NOTE. NO HOLDER
OF THIS NOTE SHALL HAVE RIGHTS AGAINST THE AUTHORITY EXCEPT FOR
DISTRIBUTION OF AVAILABLE TAX INCREMENTS.

4863-2456-7896\1
Except as otherwise provided in the Redevelopment Agreement, this Note shall not be assignable
or transferable without the prior written consent of the Authority. Any assignee or transferee must execute
and deliver to the Authority a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Authority,
pursuant to which, among other things, such assignee or transferee acknowledges and represents: (i) the
limited nature of the Authority’s payment obligations under this Note, (ii) that this Note is being acquired
for investment for such assignee’s or transferee’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a
view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, (iii) that the assignee or transferee has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, (iv) that the assignee
or transferee is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Regulation D under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (v) that the assignee or transferee, either alone or with such assignee’s
or transferee’s representatives, has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in this Note and the assignee or
transferee is able to bear the economic consequences thereof, (vi) that in making its decision to acquire this
Note, the assignee or transferee has relied upon independent investigations made by the assignee or
transferee and, to the extent believed by such assignee or transferee to be appropriate, the assignee’s or
transferee’s representatives, including its own professional, tax and other advisors, and has not relied upon
any representation or warranty from the Authority, or any of its officers, employees, agents, affiliates or
representatives, with respect to the value of this Note, (vii) that the Authority has not made any warranty,
acknowledgment or covenant, in writing or otherwise, to the assignee or transferee regarding the tax
consequences, if any, of the acquisition and investment in this Note, (viii) that the assignee or transferee or
its representatives have been given a full opportunity to examine all documents and to ask questions of, and
to receive answers from, the Authority and its representatives concerning the terms of this Note and such
other information as the assignee or transferee desires in order to evaluate the acquisition of and investment
in this Note, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the assignee or transferee,
(ix) that the assignee or transferee has evaluated the merits and risks of investment in this Note and has
determined that this Note is a suitable investment for the assignee or transferee in light of such party’s
overall financial condition and prospects, (x) that this Note will be characterized as “restricted securities”
under the federal securities laws because this Note is being acquired in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except in certain limited circumstances, and (xi)
that no market for this Note exists and no market for this Note is intended to be developed.
This Note is issued pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement and resolutions of the Board of the
Authority and is entitled to the benefits thereof, which Redevelopment Agreement and resolutions are
incorporated herein by reference.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all acts, conditions, and things required by the
Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to have happened, and to be performed
precedent to and in the issuance of this Note have been done, have happened, and have been performed in
regular and due form, time, and manner as required by law; and that this Note, together with all other
indebtedness of the Authority or the City outstanding on the date hereof and on the date of its actual issuance
and delivery, does not cause the indebtedness of the Authority or the City to exceed any constitutional or
statutory limitation thereon.

such special events and require that the sponsor of such special event enter into a standard form license or
similar agreement with Grantors for the use of the Public Plaza containing certain conditions, requirements,
and restrictions which must be met by the special event’s sponsor (e.g., insurance requirements, clean-up
responsibilities, etc.). The terms and conditions of any such permit/application process and all such

and reserve the same for the commercial use of owners and/or tenants of the Project for outdoor dining
and/or other outdoor seating areas in connection with the commercial uses of the Project. The City Manager
or its designee may approve any request by Developer and/or 7200 Parcel Owner to establish any such
Areas of Potential Commercial Use (and modifications of previously designated Areas of Potential
Commercial Use) so long as (a) the aggregate gross square footage of all Areas of Potential Commercial
Use does not exceed 1,000 square feet and (b) the Areas of Potential Commercial Use do not materially or
adversely diminish the public use or benefit intended to be derived from the Public Plaza. As applicable,
the parties will enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect any such approved Areas of Potential
Commercial Use and any modification thereto.

and other reasonable public safety precautions in strategic locations on the or around the Plaza Property in
a manner designed and intended to promote and maintain the safety of the lawful users of the Public Plaza.

nor either Grantor shall knowingly or willfully commit or suffer to be committed any waste or damage in
or upon the Easement Premises, or any disfigurement or injury to any improvements hereafter erected or
located upon the Easement Premises, or any part thereof, or the fixtures and/or equipment thereof. Each
Grantor, in its use and occupancy of the Easement Premises, shall not knowingly and willfully commit or
suffer to be committed any act or thing which constitutes a nuisance. Usual and normal wear and tear,
damage by the elements, unavoidable casualty or depreciation and diminution over time shall not be
considered “waste,” “nuisance,” “damage, “disfigurement,” or “injury.” Project
4.7. Reservation of Certain Rights. The City’s easement rights under this Agreement shall be
subject to the following reservations, as well as the other applicable provisions contained in this Agreement:

handbill, placard or booklet, (iii) soliciting memberships, signatures or contributions for private,
civic, public, charitable or political purposes, (iv) parading, picketing or demonstrating, or (v)
failing to follow the reasonable rules and regulation promulgated by Developer in accordance with
Section 4.7(e) below relating to the use and operation of the Public Plaza.
(b) Each Grantor reserves the right to close-off any portion of the Easement Premises
for such reasonable period of time as may be legally necessary, in the opinion of such Grantor’s
counsel, to prevent the acquisition of prescriptive rights by anyone; provided, however, that prior
to closing-off any portion of the Easement Premises, such Grantor shall give as much written notice
as reasonably practicable of its intention to do so.
(c) Each Grantor reserves the right at any time and from time to time to exclude and
restrain any private party from access to the Public Plaza for cause and on a non-discriminatory
basis.
(d) Each Grantor reserves the right to temporarily erect or place barriers in and around
areas on the Easement Premises which are being constructed and/or repaired in order to ensure
either safety of persons or protection of property.
J-5
4853-3659-5800\1
(e) Developer reserves the right to adopt and enforce reasonable rules and regulations
for the safe, efficient, and orderly use and operation of the Easement Premises, so long as such
rules and regulations are applied on a non-discriminatory basis, do not adversely impact the City’s
or the public’s rights to use of the Easement Premises as set forth in this Agreement, and are
approved by the City Manager or its designee. By way of example and not limitation, Developer
may establish the following hours of operation: from April 15 to October 31, 7:00 a.m. – 10:00
p.m. and from November 1 to April 14, 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

to Developer temporarily closing a portion of the Easement Premises to the extent reasonably necessary for
7200 Parcel Owner and its contractor(s) to construct the Phase 2 Minimum Improvements or other
improvements to the 7200 Parcel approved by the City in accordance with applicable City ordinances,
which consent may be granted by the City Manager. At least 30 days before Developer desire to implement
any such temporary closure, Developer shall provide the City with a written statement describing the need
for such temporary closure and shall identify the area the Easement Premises requested to be temporarily
closed. During any such temporary closure approved by the City, Developer shall (or shall cause 7200
Parcel Owner and its contractor(s) to) (a) install temporary fences and/or barricades as reasonably necessary
for pedestrian protection in those portions of the Easement Premises that remain open during such work,
(b) diligently complete such work as quickly as reasonably practical, and (c) promptly after completion of
such work, restore and/or repair the affected area to the condition required under the Redevelopment
Agreement and otherwise in an equal to or better than the condition which existed prior to the
commencement of such work, and re-open the affected area for access and use by the City and general
public in accordance with this Agreement.
4.9. Public Crossing. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Public Plaza and this
Agreement is subject to future modification to accommodate the construction of a Public Crossing pursuant
to Section 4.13 of the Redevelopment Agreement and any corresponding Public Crossing Agreement.

page 9Subcontractor Outreach EffortsCreating a healthy and successful project requires a great team behind it. Above and beyond meeting municipal or project minority, women, and service-disabled-veteran-owned business enterprises Minority, Women, Small, Disadvantaged, Veteran - Business Entities (MWSDVBE) requirements, at AP, we understand that a diverse team brings different ways of thinking to overcome challenges, and often times a local subcontractor brings a higher level of quality and detail when working in their hometown. The project benefits are endless in ensuring all subcontractors, vendors, and partners have an equal opportunity to be a team partner on our projects. PARTNER OUTREACH EFFORTSEQUITY INa HealthyCREATINGsuccessfulworking environment&We enhance outreach through the following methods:• Provide public notices and hold subcontractor events to provide an equal opportunity to all subcontractors to become pre-qualified to bid work at AP• Provide adequate notice and opportunity to bid work• Allow all scopes of work to be bid to permit maximum participation • Dividing scopes of work to allow smaller firms the ability to bid smaller portions of work • Contact firms through multiple avenues (ex. phone, email, public posting) of upcoming and current bid opportunities• Target specific MWSDVBE or local firms with specific scopes for work and directly solicit their bids• Provide technical assistance with the contract documents, plans, and specifications as well as any documents distributed for free through on-line subcontractor solicitation – iSqFt and AP’s internal Bid Docs site• Assist subcontractors and vendors with our prequalification process• Promote suitable contractual arrangements that offer special opportunities for firms to participate• Require that firms solicit bids from suppliers, vendors, and second tier subs using honest and equitable processes• Attend minority trade association meetings • Attend association and local project specific meetings • Utilize project local websites/newspapers• Publish notices of Invitation to Bid in multiple publications and organizations such as: »Construct Connect »Local Builders Exchanges »Dodge Reportspage 8page 9al Bidofferpliers, vendors,and equitableciation meetingsand local project specific meetingslocal websites/newspapersnotices of Invitation to Bid in multipleications and organizations such as:»Construct Connect»Local Builders Exchanges»Dodge ReportsDiverse Business OutreachAs a large business, it is our responsibility to provide opportunities for small businesses to bid work on all contracts that we pursue. We are proud of our track-record of exceeding client requirements for inclusion of small, diverse, and underutilized/disadvantaged subcontractors and suppliers. In addition to meeting participation goals on projects, we have formed numerous mentor-protégé relationships with firms to help guide other MWSDVBE contractors. Our MWSDVBE plan includes participation in industry associations, one-on-one meetings, tailored advertisements, and an extensive database of qualified firms. While AP has many tools and techniques designed for successful MWSDVBE participation, each project’s unique circumstances compels us to create a program tailored to each project’s specific needs. Outreach Plan Project SpecificsOur extensive experience on public projects has provided us the opportunity to build a subcontractor database of MWSDVBE businesses.

Schedule for Review of Job Requirements: AP will annually review all physical and mental job requirements to ensure that these requirements do not tend to screen out qualified individuals with disabilities.

page 21page 20Prevention of Harassment and DiscriminationAP has developed policies prohibiting the harassment of or discrimination against any employee because of any characteristic protected under civil rights laws. Senior management will distribute these policies routinely to current employees and incorporate these policies as a part of new employee orientation. Employees are made aware of contact persons to report any violation of these policies. Preemployment and post hire requirements: AP routinely conducts adverse impact analyses to analyze our applicant and team member testing, including applicant flow, hires, promotions, and terminations. All required applicant and team testing is job related and these tests and requirements are without regard to gender, ethnicity, or disability.Recognition and rewards program: AP programs are designed to support business results that align with job requirements and deliver outstanding results to our clients. AP routinely reviews our compensation system, including rates of pay and bonuses. Rewards align with the performance results. The programs are designed and managed to ensure that there is equity maintained and that the benefits are nondiscriminatory. In offering employment to individuals with disabilities, AP will not reduce the amount of compensation offered because of any disability income, pension, or other benefit the applicant or employee receives from another source.Workplace Behavior: AP’s commitment to the structure and discipline in our program practices and processes is stated in our Team Member Reference Guide and is reviewed annually to ensure that AP continues to be a high quality employer and successful company. This review includes but is not limited to all of our personnel procedures and processes, including selection, recruitment, referral, transfers and promotions, apprenticeship programs and company-sponsored training programs and other company activities to determine if all team members and applicants are fairly considered. Any other areas that might impact the success of our Affirmative Action Program: AP will continually analyze other areas that may impact our success, such as accessibility of our facility to the available workforce, the attitude of our current workforce towards EEO, proper posting of our EEO policy and required governmental posters, proper notification of our subcontractors or vendors, and retention of records in accordance with applicable law. Our Code of Ethics is the guide and sets the stage for the culture of AP. AP takes prompt action to remedy any problems in these areas through training of staff or other methods. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION As a large business, it is our responsibility to provide opportunities for small businesses to bid work on all contracts that we pursue. We are proud of our track-record of exceeding client requirements for inclusion of small, diverse, and underutilized/disadvantaged subcontractors and suppliers. In addition to meeting participation goals on projects, we have formed numerous mentor-protégé relationships with firms to help guide other MWSDVBE contractors. Our MWSDVBE plan includes participation in industry associations, one-on-one meetings, tailored advertisements, and an extensive database of qualified firms. While AP has many tools and techniques designed for successful MWSDVBE participation, each project’s unique circumstances compels us to create a program tailored to a project’s specific needs.

page 36page 37PROBLEM AREA IDENTIFICATIONAP Midwest, LLC periodically conducts an in-depth analysis of its total employment process to determine whether and where impediments to equal employment opportunity may exist. We evaluated: 1. Workforce composition by job group: When we have identified underutilization in our a\/ailability/utilization/underutilization analysis (AUUA) and we have set goals to remedy that underutilization.2. Personnel activity: We will routinely conduct adverse impact analyses using the “Eighty Percent Test” or other statistical methods to analyze our personnel activities, including applicant flow, hires, promotions, terminations and other personnel actions, to determine if there are selection disparities between men and women, people of color, nonminority (and within specific racial groups, if appropriate), or disabled and nondisabled applicants or employees. For tests are used as a part of our selection process, we confirm these tests are job-related and are validated. We have taken corrective action to remove any barriers to hiring or retaining women, people of color, or individuals with disabilities.3. Compensatton system: We will routinely review our compensation system, including rates of pay and bonuses, to determine whether there is any gender, race, ethnicity, or disability-based disparities. If any disparities are identified, we take prompt action to resolve the disparity. In offering employment to individuals with disabilities, we will not reduce the amount of compensation offered because of any disability income, pension, or other benefit the applicant or employee receives from another source.4. Personnel procedures. We will routinely review all of our personnel procedures and processes, including selection, recruitment, referral, transfers and promotions, seniority provisions, apprenticeship programs and company-sponsored training programs and other company acti\/ities to determine if all employees or applicants are fairly considered.5. Any other areas that might impact the success of our Affirmative Action Program: We continually analyze any other areas that may impact our success, such as accessibility of our facility to the available workforce, the attitude of our current workforce towards EEO, proper posting of our EEO policy and required governmental posters, proper notification of our subcontractors or vendors, and retention of records in accordance with applicable law. We take prompt action to remedy any problems in these areas through training of staff or other methods.ACTION-ORIENTED PROGRAMSSelection ProcessWe will evaluate our selection process using an adverse impact analysis to determine if our requirements screen out a disproportionate number of people of color, women, or individuals with disabilities. All personnel involved in the recruitment, screening, selection, promotion, disciplinary, and related processes will be carefully selected and trained to ensure that there is a commitment to the affirmative action program and its implementation.Schedule for Review o/Jo6 Requirements: We will annually review all physical and mental job requirements to ensure that these requirements do not tend to screen out qualified individuals with disabilities. We will determine whether these requirements are job-related and are consistent with business necessity and the safe performance of the job, and we will remove any physical or mental requirements that do not meet these criteria. Any job descriptions or requirements changed after review will be distributed to all relevant employees, particularly those involved in the selection process and supervision of employees.Affirmative Action ProgramsPre-Employment Medical Examination. If we require medical examinations or inquiries as a part of our selection process, all exams or inquiries will be conducted after a conditional offer of employment. Only job-related medical examinations and inquiries will be conducted, and the results of these examinations or inquiries will not be used to screen out qualified individuals with disabilities. Information obtained in response to such inquiries or examinations will be kept confidential except that (a) supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of individuals with disabilities and regarding accommodations, (b) first aid and safety personnel may be informed, where and to the extent appropriate, if the condition might require emergency treatment, and (c) officials, employees, representatives, or agents of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights or local human rights agencies investigating compliance with the act or local human rights ordinances will be informed if they request such information.Accommodations to Physical and Mental Limitations of EmployeesWe will make reasonable accommodations to the physical and mental limitations of an employee or applicant unless such an accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the conduct of the business.Recruitment of Employees1. All solicitation or advertisements for employees will state that applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, or status with regard to public assistance. When needed, to help address underutilization, help wanted advertising will also be placed in news media oriented towards women or people of color. Copies of advertisements for employees will be kept on file for review by enforcement agencies.2. When we place help-wanted advertisements, we will not indicate a preference, limitation, or specification based on sex, age, national origin, or other protected characteristic, unless that characteristic is a bona fide occupational qualification for a particular job. We will not allow any employment agency with which we work to express any such limitation on our behalf, and we will require that these agencies share our commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity.3. All positions for which we post or advertise externally will be listed with State of Minnesota Workforce Centers, America’s Job Bank, or similar governmental agencies.4. We will request the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development to refer qualified individual with disabilities for employment consideration under our affirmati\ie action programs in accordance with Minnesota Administrative Rule 5000.3557. 5. As necessary to ensure that potential candidates are aware of job openings, we will contact community organizations focused on the employment of women, people of color, and individuals with disabilities (including state vocational rehabilitation agencies or facilities, sheltered workshops, college placement offices, education agencies, or labor organizations).6. We will keep documentation of all contacts made and responses received, in connection with paragraphs 4 and 5 above, whether formal or informal. We will make every effort to give these agencies a reasonable amount of time to locate and refer applicants.7. We will carry out active recruiting programs at relevant technical schools and colleges, where applicable.8. We will encourage existing people of color, female and disabled employees to recruit additional candidates for employment opportunities.Affirmative Action Programs

We will conduct adverse impact analyses to ensure that women, people of color, and employees with disabilities are promoted at rates substantially similar to men, non-people of color, and individuals without disabilities.Termination ProcessWe use progressive discipline before terminating employees, where appropriate. All employees are made aware of our discipline process. We will conduct adverse impact analyses to ensure that women, people of color, and employees with disabilities do not leave our company at rates substantially dissimilar to those of men, non-people of color, and employees without disabilities.It is AP’s policy is to attempt to deal constructively with employee performance problems, unsatisfactory behavior and employee errors. The disciplinary process used will be determined by AP in its discretion in light of the facts and circumstances of each case. Each situation will generally be considered in light ofa variety of factors including, but not limited to: the seriousness of the situation; the employee’s past conduct and length of service; and the nature of the employee’s previous performance or incidents involving the employee. Depending upon the facts, disciplinary action may include oral or written warnings, probation, suspension with or without pay, or immediate termination of employment.Affirmative Action ProgramsReligion and National Origin Discrimination and Accommodation for Religious Observance and PracticeAs a part of our commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity for all, we have made a specific effort to ensure that national origin and religion are not factors in recruitment, selection, promotion, transfer, termination, or participation in training.

page 40page 41ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICYAs a part of our commitment to equal opportunity, AP Midwest LLC, has adopted an anti-harassment policy. Any employee who engages in harassment on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, familial status, status with regard to public assistance, membership or activity in a local human rights commission, disability, age, or other legally protected characteristics; any employee who permits employees under his/her supervision to engage in such harassment; or any employee who retaliates or permits retaliation against an employee who reports such harassment is guilty of misconduct and shall be subject to remedial action which may include the imposition of discipline or termination of employment.Examples of harassment may include derogatory comments regarding a person’s race, color, religion, or other protected characteristics, sexually explicit or other offensive images (whether printed or displayed on a computer), and jokes that are based on stereotypes of particular races, sexual orientations, ages, religions, or other protected characteristics.Sexual Harassment is against the law. It is the policy of AP to abide by the applicable federal, state, and local laws that prohibit sexual harassment and to maintain an employment environment free of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment of any employee, client, or business partner will not be tolerated.Sexual harassment may include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical contact or other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when: (a) submission to that conduct or communication is made a term or condition, either explicitly or implicitly, of obtaining employment; (b) submission to or rejection of that conduct or communication is used as a factor in decisions affecting that indi\/iduaI’s employment; or (c) that conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s employment.Here are some examples of conduct that may constitute sexual harassment: • Use of offensive or demeaning terms that have a sexual connotation.• Objectionable physical closeness, behavior, actions, or contact.• Unwelcome suggestions regarding, or invitations to, social engagements or non-work related social events.• Any indication, express or implied, that an employee’s job security, job assignment, conditions of employment, or opportunities for advancement may depend on the granting of sexual or other personal favors.• Any action relating to an employee’s job status which is in fact affected by consideration of the granting or refusal of social or sexual favors.• Deliberate or careless creation of an atmosphere of sexual harassment or intimidation.• Deliberate or careless jokes or remarks of a sexual nature to or in the presence of any employee.• Showing or sending materials that haVe a sexual content or are of a sexual nature (such as cartoons, articles, pictures, etc.), either by e-mail, interoffice mail, Internet or otherwise.Although the intent of the person engaging in the conduct may be harmless or even friendly, it is the perception of the conduct by the recipient that is relevant to whether the conduct is harassment. Given the difficulty of judging whether the conduct is welcome or unwelcome in particular situations, the company prohibits all employees from engaging in any conduct of a sexual nature or amounting to harassment based on any protected category in the work setting.Affirmative Action ProgramsThis policy applies to everyone in the organization as well as senior management. No retaliation or intimidation directed towards anyone who makes a complaint will be tolerated.If you believe you has/e been a victim of harassment, take the following steps:• Discuss the matter with your supervisor or manager.• If, for any reason, you would prefer not to speak to your supervisor (for example, if you believe your supervisor to be the source of or a party to the harassment), you may talk to any other member of management or the Chief Human Resources Officer.The company will investigate and attempt to resolve your complaint promptly. If, for any reason, you believe this has not occurred within a reasonable period of time, refer the matter to a member of senior management up to and including the CEO of AP, Jeff Hansen.PROBLEM RESOLUTION POLICYIn any organization, dissatisfaction may arise because an employee does not know, understand, or agree with certain policy interpretations or management decisions. Such dissatisfactions are commonly referred to as grievances. An employee who feels aggrieved is urged to take the matter up immediately with his/her supervisor. Your supervisor is required to investigate your grievance and provide you a response or decision within a reasonable period of time. This investigation may consist of, but is not limited to, gathering information from other employees involved, reviewing company policy, and any other action necessary to understand the matter completely. If you are not satisfied with the response/decision from your immediate supervisor, you are encouraged to report your claim to the next level of management or to Molly Weiss at 952-417-8355.Reporting ClaimsWe encourage employees to report a claim when concerned about policy violations, discriminatory treatment or any type of unethical or illegal treatment or when they have witnessed such treatment to others. Employees should report complaints promptly to their immediate supervisor, their supervisor’s manager, or to Molly Weiss at 952-417-8355.Once an employee discloses information to management and/or Human Resources stating a complaint regarding but not limited to, sexual harassment, discriminatory harassment or a concern of retaliation he/she will be considered to have filed an internal complaint and will proceed to the investigation process.Investigation ProcessAll complaints and/or allegations will be promptly investigated. Once a complaint is received by a member of management they need to immediately notify Molly Weiss at 952-417-8355 that a complaint has been received and to discuss an investigative plan that may include some or all of the following:Ensure Confidentiality - AP will protect the confidentiality of employee claims to the best of its ability. At the same time, AP must conduct a prompt and an effective investigation. Therefore, it may not be possible to keep all information gathered in the initial complaint, such as interviews and records, completely confidential. To conduct an effective investigation, some information will be revealed to the accused and potential witnesses, but information will be shared only on a ”need to know” basis.Affirmative Action Programs
page 42
Provide Interim Protection - In some cases, separating the alleged victim from the accused may be necessary to guard
against continued harassment or retaliation. Actions may include a schedule change, temporary or permanent transfer or
(paid) leave of absence, etc.
Investigation Plan - HR will inform all parties involved of the need for an investigation and explain the investigation process
which may include an outline of the issue, a witness list, sources for information and evidence, and planned interview
questions targeted to elicit crucial information and details while conducting interviews. If required due to the nature of the
investigation, HR may utilize an outside investigator to ensure an unbiased review.
Make a Decision — Once the interviews are conducted, all information will be reviewed and evaluated for a formal decision
of next steps. Based on the findings of the investigation appropriate corrective and disciplinary action will be taken. AP will
notify both the employee that raised the complaint and the accused of the outcome while reminding all parties to preserve
confidentiality as appropriate.
Document and Close - A summary of the fact-finding information will be written and submitted to appropriate levels of upper
management on a need to know basis.
