Action was taken by the HRA and the Council as required and as recorded. ROLLCALL Answering rollcall were Commissioners/Members Kelly, Paulus, Rice, Smith and Richards. MINUTES of the HRA Meeting of April 3, 1989 were approved as submitted by motion of Commissioner Kelly, seconded by Commissioner Paulus. Ayes: Kelly, Paulus, Rice, Smith, Richards Motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDMENTS TO FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, ZONING ORDINANCE AND REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, EDINBOROUGH CONTINUED TO 5115/89 Executive Director Gordon Hughes recalled that on April 17, 1989 the HRA and Council reviewed the development proposal of Hawthorn Suites for the vacant parcel at Edinborough. The public hearing on amendments to the Final Development Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Redevelopment Agreement for Edinborough was continued with the request that the following items be addressed or clarified. 1. Project signage, 2. Zoning Ordinance amendment relative to permitted hotels, 3. Public parking rights on the hotel site, 4. Provisions to insure that the hotel will be built and fees will be paid when due, and 5. Service of beer, wine and liquor at the hotel. Signage - A sign ordinance amendment will be prepared which will address commercial signage in the MDD-5 and MDD-6 districts and will control signage for Edinborough and Centennial Lakes. The same standards will be proposed that are now used in the PC-3 Commercial District. The proposed signage for the hotel would conform to the PC-3 signage standards. In addition, signage in a mixed use development should have a common theme. Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Hotels are currently an allowed use in the PC-2 and PC-3 zoning districts. The proposed amendment would allow only "suites hotels" in the MDD-5 district and would be defined as a hotel in which at least 80% of the rooms are two-room suites 400 square feet or greater in size. Parking - The revised parking plan for Hawthorn Suites provides 186 surface spaces. Eighty-six of the spaces are proposed to be reserved for hotel guests, and 100 spaces would be shared with the park on a non-exclusive basis. The reserved spaces could be signed at the entrance to the lot rather than by individual signs at each parking space. Hawthorn would construct and maintain all of the spaces. For future parking, Hawthorn would agree to a reservation in favor of the City to construct a one-level parking deck on the hotel site, provided that the lower level is enclosed and Hawthorn approves of architectural design. Hawthorn also requests assurances that ramp construction will not impact hotel operations. In consideration of the increased parking lot size and public use, the HRA would assume responsibility for the construction of the tramway/service drive area located partially on City park property and partially on hotel property as well as the public sidewalk, extending from Edinborough Way on the south and west to the westerly entrance to Edinborough Park. l H.R.A./Council May 1, 1989 Page 2 Service of Beer. Wine and Liquor - John Lyons, Senior Project Director for Hawthorn Suites, read the following statement with regard to liquor: "Hawthorn understands and will comply with the existing liquor laws and ordinances with the City of Edina. Further, it accepts the opinion of the counsel to the City that complimentary beer, wine, or liquor cannot be served to hotel guests or others as an enticement, and specifically, beer, wine and liquor will not be served to guests during the hors d'oeuvre hour. This commitment is based on the understanding that if the laws, ordinances or opinions of the City change in the future, or if the City otherwise permits or suffers the service of beer, wine or liquor to hotel guests by other hotels in the City, Hawthorn will be entitled to change their operations subject to compliance with the then existing laws. " Chairman/Mayor Richards called for comment from the public on the proposed project. Susan Britzius, resident of Edinborough, stated that she objected to the proposed hotel. Further, she said she was concerned about enticements that may be made by the hotel that would capitalize on the park and encourage a different type of weekend guest than the business traveler. Mike Perpich, resident and Edinborough Board member, made reference to a letter from Bob C. Tift, also resident and Edinborough Board member. The letter stated that in Mr. Tift's opinion, even though some opposition has been made, a large majority of the residents are unopposed to the hotel development. Mr. Perpich said that the Board has been contacted by very few residents who are opposed. He said that he, personally, supported the proposed project. Tom Niederer, resident of Edinborough, said that he felt the residents were uninformed about the proposed project. He objected to having a hotel in his backyard and questioned whether the community would want to associate the transients of the hotel with Edinborough park. He voiced concerns about overcrowding, safety, upkeep, treatment of the facility by transients, and possible future sale of the hotel to a new owner. Chairman/Mayor Richards questioned Mr. Lyons further on the issue of serving of liquor and his understanding of the City's ordinance regulating liquor. Mr. Lyons said that after the meeting of April 17th he had referred this issue to Hawthorn's counsel and had him clearly identify the liquor law process. This information will be part of the orientation for the hotel's manager. Chairman/Mayor Richards said he would not vote for the proposed project until he heard from a representative of Hyatt that they understood the liquor laws in Edina and do not intend to offer free liquor at any time while they own this property, if the Hawthorn Suites project is approved. Mr. Lyons responded that if the statement of counsel were put into his own words that, basically, counsel said the City's Attorney has given his opinion, that they do not differ with the opinion and therefore are in concurrence with it. Commissioner/Member Smith asked Attorney Erickson to restate his opinion concerning liquor. Attorney Erickson stated that under the City's ordinance beer and wine licenses are reserved for specific places, e.g. restaurants with minimum seating for 25 persons, where meals are regularly served to the public. If Hawthorn would establish that kind of restaurant they would, under the ordinance, be one of those places entitled to serve beer and wine. Commissioner/Member Smith asked if it was the intent of Hawthorn Suites to have a restaurant that would fit those qualifications. Mr. Lyons stated that the restaurant in Hawthorn Suites is not designed for the outside public, it is designed for internal use only. Commissioner/Member Kelly asked for a clarification on the proposed room rent for the hotel suites. Steve Goldman, representing Hawthorn Suites, explained the room rate structure in some detail and also discounts that may apply. They anticipate H.R.A./Council May 1, 1989 Page 3 that the rates will average approximately $70-75. Commissioner/Member Kelly commented that she would be more comfortable with the higher rates that were mentioned at the previous meeting. Commissioner/Member Rice said that he concurred with Chairman/Mayor Richards that the liquor issue need to be cleared up before further consideration can be given to the project. Commissioner/Member Smith raised the question of the land use and said he was concerned that the residents at Edinborough purchased their units based upon the amenity of the indoor park and two office buildings on the site. Chairman/Mayor Richards recalled that the Council had indicated on April 17 that there was no problem with the land use and that it was appropriate. Commissioner/Member Paulus commented that it is impossible to hear every Edinborough resident and that what is important is what is best for the City, of which Edinborough is a part. She said she was in favor of the proposed project; that this is land that will not be used for office and that here is a proposal for use of the land. She stated further that the proposed zoning ordinance amendment would be written to allow only "suites hotels" which would protect the City if the property were sold in the future. Regarding the liquor issue, she concurred that the Council needs to hear a clear statement that Hawthorn will not serve liquor. Steve Goldman answered by stating that Hawthorn Suites would not serve liquor under the conditions as they exist today. Attorney Erickson advised that, in order to bind the corporation to that statement, it could be included in the closing documents, by a separate letter or as part of the document itself. Commissioner/Member Smith said that he did not understand why Hawthorn Suites was asking the City to enclose the hotel parking if in the future the City determined it was necessary to construct a one level ramp. Mr. Lyons said their understanding of the original project dealt with their buying land from the City and developing the hotel. Shortly after the process was begun, staff advised that the City desired to create some additional parking on the site for non-hotel use. Subsequently, that has grown to the current proposal of 86 spaces for hotel use and 100 spaces for general use. The value of the land and the paving that would go into making up those 100 spaces would probably equate to $350,000. Subsequent to that, they were asked by the City for air rights to develop a parking deck over the land they would own. Typically, air rights have some value. Hawthorn then suggested: 1) they would concede the value of the public parking and 2) would make the air rights available for free. The only thing they would ask would be that in developing the ramp that they end up with enclosed parking spaces for the lower level. Chairman/Mayor Richards commented that an enclosed ramp would be prohibitively expensive. That requirement would amount to saying they never wanted the ramp in the first place - it would appear that there is a giving and a taking involved. Mr. Lyons said his opinion was that enclosed ramps are not prohibitively expensive; that they are marginally more expensive. Chairman/Mayor Richards said the real question is the business decision as to why the hotel would insist that it has to be an enclosed ramp. Mr. Goldman elaborated that Hawthorn would be giving the City the value of the land/air rights. In exchange Hawthorn would receive some value in having enclosed parking which would make the hotel more competitive. Commissioner/Member Rice said that he did not feel there would ever be a public parking problem, but that if it would come down to the question of enclosed parking in order to add a ramp, he would vote no. Commissioner/Member Rice expressed his views on the issues raised at the April 17 meeting: Signage - Hawthorn has responded well and he saw no problem with the signage as proposed. Liquor - Assuming that Hawthorn had clarified that question H.R.A./Council May 1, 1989 Page 4 and would serve no liquor, he had no problem with that. Zoning amendment - Comfortable with the definition of the suites hotel as defined by staff. Parking - Revised parking lot plan is okay provided that Hawthorn's approval of architectural design for the one-level parking deck is not unreasonable withheld. Would object to provision that the City enclose the lower level. Public safety for Edinborough residents - Has concluded that Edinborough is a regional facility now; that the proposed hotel use may be a less desirable use than office but that it is not an unacceptable risk. Hawthorn Suites can be an asset to Edinborough and the community. With regard to the agreement document, Commissioner/Member Rice suggested that an option to purchase replace the reverter provision. Commissioner/Member Paulus asked if Hawthorn would consider withdrawing the provision that the lower level of the parking be enclosed if the ramp is constructed. Further discussion was held on the parking lot and one level ramp, and also the signage. Chairman/Mayor Richards then asked for Hawthorn's position on the enclosed hotel parking. Mr. Goldman said he believed they would be willing to eliminate the enclosed parking if assurances would be given that there would be no business interruption to the hotel during time of construction of the ramp. Commissioner/Member Kelly said that although she believed in the concept of a suites hotel and felt that it would be an asset to the community, she said she was not prepared to act on the proposal. Chairman/Mayor Richards asked if staff had enough information to refine the documents to reflect the comments made by the Council Members and to bring back a definitive proposal to be acted upon at the next meeting. Director Hughes responded that staff could return with a final draft of the redevelopment contract, that would include specific contingencies regarding the parking ramp (to not include the provision that the lower level be enclosed) . Further, that a statement regarding liquor be included as part of the closing documents in the form of a letter from an officer of the company, as suggested by the City Attorney. Following further discussion on whether the HRA/Council was prepared to take action on the proposed project, Commissioner/Member Kelly made a motion that the public hearing on the Hawthorn Hotel Development be continued to May 15, 1989. Motion was seconded by Commissioner/Member Rice. Ayes: Kelly, Paulus, Rice, Smith, Richards Motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING CONDUCTED ON ISSUANCE OF REFUNDING BONDS FOR PARK PLAZA PROJECT. EDINBOROUGH• RESOLUTION ADOPTED AUTHORIZING ISSUANCE AND SALE OF BONDS: RESOLUTION ADOPTED APPROVING REFINANCING AND AMENDMENT TO INTEREST REDUCTION AGREEMENT Affidavits of notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Chairman/Mayor Richards declared that the public hearing was open and asked for public comment on the proposed refunding of bonds issued for the Edina Park Plaza elderly housing project at Edinborough. No comment or objection being heard, Chairman/Mayor Richards then called for comment from Henry Hyatt, Executive Vice President, Edina Park Plaza of Edinborough. Mr. Hyatt said he had nothing to add from his previous presentation. Chairman/Mayor Richards then declared the public hearing closed. Commissioner/Member Rice asked why the developer had requested that FHA increase the principal amount of the mortgage loan which it will insure by up to $1,100,000. Mr. Hyatt explained that if the FHA approves the increase it would go towards paying the cost of issuance, reducing some of the letter of credit cost or reducing the amount of non-rated bonds and establishing a mortgage operating deficit reserve. H.R.A./Council May 1, 1989 Page 5 Commissioner/Member Rice then asked why this would be of benefit for the City. Mr. Hyatt said that the overall interest rate would be substantially reduced even with the increased debt. In addition, the City would have assurance, with the anticipated $500,000 of operating deficit reserve, that the project is that more secure. Chairman/Mayor Richards asked for assurances that no one would take any money out of the project other than for reducing debt service. Mr. Hyatt stated that they will not take any funds out if there is a mortgage increase to reimburse for previous costs of the partnership. Attorney Erickson indicated that they will be repaying themselves for some operating cost losses, but other than that there will be no funds going to the developer. Member Rice introduced the following resolution and moved adoption: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENT REFUNDING REVENUE BONDS (FHA INSURED MORTGAGE LOAN - EDINA PARR PLAZA PROJECT), 1989-A AND 1989-B, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota (the "City"), as follows: Section 1. Recitals and Findings. 1.1 By the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended (the "Act"), the City is authorized to plan, administer, issue and sell revenue bonds or obligations to make or purchase loans to finance one or more multifamily housing developments within its boundaries, which revenue bonds or obligations shall be payable solely from the revenues of the development. Pursuant to Section 462C.07, Subdivision 1 of the Act, in the purchase or making of multifamily • housing loans and the issuance of revenue bonds or other obligations the City may exercise within its corporate limits any of the powers the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency may exercise under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462A, without limitation under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475. 1.2 The City has heretofore developed and, after due notice and public hearing, has adopted a housing plan (the "Plan") on April 19, 1982 under the Act. The Plan sets forth, among other things, the housing needs of the City and methods for meeting such needs. The Plan has been reviewed and commented on by the Metropolitan Council pursuant to Section 462C.01, paragraph (c) of the Act. 1.3. The Act provides that the City may plan, administer and make or purchase a loan or loans to finance one or more developments of the kinds described in Subdivisions 2, 3, 4 and 7 of Section 462C.05 of the Act, upon adoption of a program setting forth the information required by Subdivision 6 of Section 462C.05 of the Act, after a public hearing thereon, and upon approval by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (the "Agency"), as provided by Section 462C.01 of the Act, on the basis of the considerations stated in Section 462C.04 of the Act. 1.4. This Council has heretofore received a proposal that the City finance the cost of a multifamily housing development under the Act, consisting of acquisition of land located at 7800 York Avenue in the City and the construction and equipping thereon of a residential rental facility containing approximately 203 housing units and including functionally related and subordinate facilities (the "Development"). 1.5. The City has heretofore caused to be prepared and, after due notice, public hearing and submission for review and comment, has adopted a program (the "Original Program") under the Act relating to the Development. The Original Program, as adopted on June 17, 1985, has been submitted to the Minnesota Housing • Finance Agency in accordance with Section 462C.05 of the Act for approval as provided in Section 462C.01 on the basis of considerations stated in Section 462C.04 of the Act, and is deemed approved under the provisions of said Section 462C.04, Subdivision 1. H,R.A./Council May 1, 1989 Page 6 1.6. Pursuant to the Original Program, the City has heretofore issued and sold its Housing Development Revenue Bonds (FHA Insured Mortgage Loan - Edina Park Plaza Project), Series 1985 (the "Prior Bonds"), and has used the net proceeds of the Prior Bonds to make a mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan") to Edina Park Plaza Associates Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership (the "Developer") and a supplemental loan to Partners for Senior Communities, Inc. , an Illinois corporation and a general partner of the Developer (the "General Partner"), to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Development. The Mortgage Loan has been endorsed for mortgage loan insurance by the Federal Housing Administration of the United States Department of Housing and Urban. Development. 1.7. In connection with the issuance of the Prior Bonds and the financing of the Development, the Developer has heretofore entered into an Elderly Housing Interest Reduction Agreement, dated as of October 1, 1985 (the "Interest Reduction Agreement"), with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Edina, Minnesota (the "Authority") . The obligations of the Developer under the Interest Reduction Agreement are secured by a Combination Mortgage, Security Agreement, Assignment of Rents and Fixture Financing Statement, dated as of October 1, 1985 (the "Authority Mortgage"), from the Developer to the Authority. 1.8. Pursuant to covenants and restrictions entered into in connection with the Prior Bonds, the Development is required to be occupied for a specified period of time primarily by elderly persons and in part (at least 20%) by persons and families of low and moderate income. 1.9. The construction and equipping of the Development have been completed, and the Development has been partially leased. Initial leasing projections have not been met, however, and the Developer and the General Partner are in default under the loan documents securing the Prior Bonds. 1.10. This Council has received a proposal from the Developer that the City refinance the cost of the Development by issuing its refunding revenue bonds in one or more series (the "Bonds"), for the purpose of refunding and redeeming the outstanding prior Bonds, in connection with a proposed amendment and assignment of the Mortgage Loan. 1.11. The City has heretofore caused to be prepared and has approved an amended program (the "Amended Program") under the Act, pursuant to which it is proposed that the City issue the Bonds in one or more series and in. a maximum aggregate principal amount of $17,500,000 to refund and redeem the Prior Bonds in connection with the proposed amendment and assignment of the Mortgage Loan and the refinancing of the Development. 1.12. The City has been advised by the Developer that conventional commercial financing is available to refinance capital costs of the Development only on a limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the scope of the Development and the economic feasibility of operating the Development would be significantly affected, but with the aid of municipal financing the operation of the Development can be made more economically feasible. 1.13. The City has been advised by representatives of the Developer and Dain Bosworth Incorporated, of Minneapolis, Minnesota (the "Underwriter"), that on the basis of information available to them and their discussions with the Developer and potential purchasers of bonds, the Bonds could be sold at favorable rates and terms to refund and redeem the Prior Bonds and refinance the Development. 1.14. The full faith and credit of the City will not be pledged to or responsible for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. 1.15. The City has received drafts of a Trust Indenture, a Financing Agreement and an Escrow Agreement (collectively, the "City Financing Documents"), a draft Bond Purchase Agreement (the "Bond Purchase Agreement"), and a draft Preliminary Official Statement (the "Preliminary Official Statement") in connection with the proposed issuance and sale of the Bonds, and has caused such documents to be placed on file in the office of the City Clerk. 1.16. Pursuant to notice duly published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City not less than 15 days prior to the date fixed therefor, this Council has held a public hearing on May 1, 1989, at which all interested H.R.A./Council May 1, 1989 Page 7 persons were afforded an opportunity to express their views, in person or in writing, on the proposed issuance of the Bonds. This Council has carefully considered the views submitted at the public hearing. 1.17. It is hereby found, determined and declared as follows: (a) The Development will constitute a multifamily housing development under Section 462C.01, Subdivision 5 of the Act. The City is authorized to develop and finance the Amended Program by the authorization, issuance and sale of refunding revenue bonds or obligations payable solely from the revenues of the Amended Program and the Development. The purpose of the Development is and its effect will be to promote the public welfare and preserve the quality of life in the City by helping to maintain, provide and preserve adequate housing stock within the City and to assist persons of low and moderate income, or elderly persons, or both, to obtain decent, safe and sanitary housing within the City. (b) Based upon representations by the Developer and the General Partner, financing for the Development is not otherwise available to the Developer from private lenders upon terms and conditions which are affordable by the Developer, such financing being available only at a rate which, when combined with the cost of operating the Development as well as noneconomic factors, would impair the feasibility of the Development; the General Partner expects that the revenues to be produced by the rental of units in the Development will be sufficient to meet payments when due on the Mortgage Loan, as amended. 1.18. The findings and approvals contained in Section 1 and 2 of the resolution adopted by this Council on April 17, 1989 with respect to the Development, the Amended Program and the Bonds, to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this resolution, are hereby confirmed.

Recitals:. 1.01. Pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1985, between the City of Edina, Minnesota (the "City") and First Bank National Association (formerly known as First National Bank of Minneapolis), as trustee (the "Prior Bonds Trustee"), the City has heretofore issued and sold its Housing Development Revenue Bonds (FHA Insured Mortgage Loan - Edina Park Plaza Project), Series 1985 (the "Prior Bonds"), in the original aggregate principal amount of $17,622,800. The Prior Bonds are presently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $17,345,000. 1.02. Proceeds of the Prior Bonds were used to fund a mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan") to Edina Park Plaza Associates Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership (the "Developer") and a supplemental loan to Partners for Senior Communities, Inc. , an Illinois corporation and a general partner of the Developer (the "General Partner"), for the purpose of acquiring, constructing and H.R.A./Council May 1, 1989 Page 10 equipping an approximately 203-unit multifamily housing development and • functionally related and subordinate facilities located at 7800 York Avenue in the City (the "Development"). 1.03. The Mortgage Loan, which is evidenced by a mortgage note secured by a first mortgage lien on the Development under a Mortgage, dated as of October 1, 1985 (the "FHA Mortgage") from the Developer to the Prior Bonds Trustee, has been endorsed for mortgage loan insurance by the Federal Housing Administration of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Mortgage Loan is presently outstanding in the principal amount of approximately $14,600,000. 1.04.

Under the Interest Reduction Agreement, the Authority has agreed to use tax increment derived from the tax increment financing district established by the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan and investment income thereon to lend certain amounts (the "Interest Advances") to the Developer from time to time to • pay interest on the Mortgage Loan. Under Section 1(b) of the Interest Reduction Agreement, the obligation of the Authority to make Interest Advances terminates upon an "Event of Termination," as defined therein, including a refunding or defeasance of the Prior Bonds initiated by the Developer. Upon an Event of Termination, Section 4 of the Interest Reduction Agreement requires the Developer to repay certain amounts to the Authority. The obligations of the Developer under the Interest Reduction Agreement are secured by the Authority Mortgage, which is subordinate and junior to the FHA Mortgage. 1.06. The construction and equipping of the Development has been completed, and the Development has been partially leased. Initial leasing projections, have not been met, however, and the Developer and the General Partner are in default under the loan documents securing the Prior Bonds. 1.07. The Developer has requested that the City issue its Housing Development Refunding Revenue Bonds (FHA Insured Mortgage Loan - Edina Park Plaza Project) (the "Bonds"), in one or more series, to refund and redeem the outstanding Prior Bonds and refinance the Development. 1.08. In connection with the refunding of the Prior Bonds, the Developer has requested that the terms of the Mortgage Loan and the FHA Mortgage be amended and assigned to the trustee for the Bonds. The amendments to the Mortgage Loan and the FHA Mortgage may result in an increase in the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and/or a reduction in the interest rate thereon. Such increase, if any, in the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan may be evidenced by a supplement or amendment to the Mortgage Loan and the FHA Mortgage or by a supplemental mortgage loan and related mortgage (such supplement, amendment or supplemental mortgage loan and related mortgage being referred to herein as the "Amendments"). The Developer will remain the owner of the Development following the proposed refinancing, and the Development is to remain subject to the FHA Mortgage, as amended by the Amendments, and to the covenants and restrictions • (including those in the Deed) heretofore entered in connection with the Prior Bonds. 1.09. The Developer has requested that the Authority consent to the er has further refunding of the Prior Bonds and to the Amendments. The Developer i H.R.A./Council May 1, 1989 Page 11 requested that the Authority consent to certain amendments to the Interest Reduction Agreement and the other Authority Documents for the purposes, among others, of ensuring that the refunding of the Prior Bonds will not give rise to an Event of Termination and that the lien of the FHA Mortgage, as amended by the Amendments, will remain prior to that of the Authority Mortgage. To this end, there have been prepared and filed with the Authority drafts of a First Amendment to Interest Reduction Agreement and a Consent and Subordination Agreement (collectively, the "Authority Amending Documents"). Section 2. Approvals. 2.01. The proposed refunding of the Prior Bonds, the proposed Amendments and assignment of the Mortgage Loan and the FHA Mortgage, and the transactions described in Section 1 of this resolution in connection with the refinancing of the Development are hereby approved, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this resolution; provided, however, that the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, as amended by the Amendments, shall not exceed $16,000,000. 2.02. The Authority Amending Documents are hereby approved in the form heretofore submitted to the Authority, with such additions, completions, changes and deletions as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the officers of the Authority executing the same and subject to the approval of counsel to the Authority. 2.03. Notwithstanding the approvals contained in Section 2 of this resolution, however, the Authority retains the right to withdraw from participation and accordingly to refuse to consent to the Amendments if the Developer fails to provide a mortgagee's policy of title insurance with respect to the Authority Mortgage in form and substance satisfactory to the Authority. Section 3. Authorization. 3.01. Any two officers of the Authority are hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Authority Amending Documents in substantially the form heretofore submitted to the Authority, with such additions, completions, changes and deletions as such officers may consider necessary or appropriate, together with such additional documents, agreements and certificates as the officers executing the same may consider necessary or appropriate to effectuate the proposed refunding of the Prior Bonds and the related transactions described herein.
