and each Subcontractor. Borrower shall also furnish to Lender (and the Title Company if so
requested) a copy of the general construction contract with the General Contractor (the "General

Lender.

complied with by the Borrower, if no default or Event of Default exists under the Loan
Agreement, if Lender has approved the Request For Advance (if required hereunder), and if the
Request For Advance is for Loan proceeds, Lender shall approve the Advance in a manner
satisfactory to the Title Company and Lender in the principal amount of the requested Advance
(less any retainage required under the Loan Agreement and any amounts payable by Lender
outside of this Agreement). The Title Company shall, as promptly as possible thereafter, if all of
the conditions of this Agreement have been complied with in a manner satisfactory to the Title
Company, and if the Title Company has not received notice from Lender that a default or an
Event of Default exists under the Loan Agreement, disburse the Loan proceeds by delivering to
the General Contractor, or at the Lender's request or the Title Company's option, to each of the
Subcontractors entitled to receive any of such proceeds, by check or wire transfer, the amounts
set forth in such Request For Advance.

Loan proceeds without prior written consent by the City. The City agrees promptly to review
any Request for Advance, and shall approve disbursements within ten (10) business days of the
City receiving the Request for Advance which (i) are for payment of the costs of the Project,
based upon which the amount ofthe security was calculated, and (ii) are in reasonable proportion

of such undisbursed portion of the Loan and otherwise in the form required by the Development
Agreement, and upon receipt of such letter of credit agrees to consent to disbursement of such
undisbursed portion ofthe Loan in any manner directed by Lender.

Project and thereafter defaults under the Development Agreement and such default is not cured
by the Borrower pursuant to the Development Agreement or the Lender pursuant to the Consent

the funds are to be used to complete the Project and three (3) business days if the funds are to be
used to cure any other default under the Development Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, any such disbursement from the Loan to City shall not be more than that amount of
the Loan then deposited and only for the actual costs incurred by City to complete the unfinished
work ofthe Project or to cure the default under the Development Agreement.

Improvements on behalf of the Borrower.

further disbursements under the terms of this Agreement until the Borrower has deposited with

Lender. Borrower represents to Lender and Title Company that at the date of this Agreement,

Contractor or the Subcontractors to be performed in the construction ofthe Improvements.

AGREEMENT
In consideration of the above recitals, of Lender's agreement to make the Loan to
Borrower under the Loan Agreement, and of the mutual agreements set forth below, the parties
agree as follows:
1. Definitions: Recitals. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this

2, Contractors and Contracts. Borrower shall submit to the Title Company a copy of
the Total Project Cost Statement (including the General Contractor's Sworn Construction
Statement) and shall advise Lender and the Title Company ofthe name of the General Contractor
and each Subcontractor. Borrower shall also furnish to Lender (and the Title Company if so
requested) a copy of the general construction contract with the General Contractor (the "General
Contractor's Contract") and if required under the terms of the Loan Agreement, each contract
with each of the Subcontractors. Borrower shall keep the Title Company and Lender advised at
all times of the names of all Subcontractors, and of the type of work, material or services and of
the dollar amount covered by each of their respective contracts with Borrower. It is understood
that only (a) the General Contractor, (b) those Subcontractors whose names, contract descriptions
and, after a request therefor, contracts have been furnished to Lender and the Title Company, and
(c) the other parties identified on the Sworn Project Cost Statement, shall be entitled to receive a
disbursement of Loan proceeds under this Agreement.
3. Issuance of Title Policy. Prior to the first disbursement of funds under this
Agreement< to porsons other than the City>, the Title Company shall be prepared to furnish to

Agreement or the Development Agreement, and Borrower agrees that all sums requested
hereunder for disbursements shall not exceed that amount. Lender shall not be required to

- 2 -
5. Advances Through Title Companv. The parties acknowledge that Lender has
advanced all Loan proceeds to the Title Company. The Title Company shall establish an
interest-bearing general account for ordinary construction expenditures in which the Loan
proceeds and any funds supplied by Borrower will be held and be disbursed.
6. Requirements for Advance. Whenever Borrower desires to obtain an Advance,
Borrower shall submit a signed Request For Advance to Lender and the City (specifying what
portion of the Request For Advance pertains to Loan proceeds) and the Title Company at least
ten (10) business days prior to the date on which the requested Advance is to be made (the
"Advance Date"). Borrower shall also simultaneously submit to the Title Company the
following:
(1) Statements, waivers, affidavits, supporting waivers, and releases oflien from such
persons and in such forms, as may be required by the Title Company, for the purpose of
providing the title insurance coverage specified in this Agreement covering the current
disbursement.
(2) Invoices and other supporting evidence as may be requested by the Lender or
Title Company to establish the cost or value of the Improvements for which Advances are
to be made or as may be required by the Loan Agreement.
(3) Approval by the Lender of the current Request For Advance.
The Title Company shall perform a search of the appropriate records and, within five (5)
business days after receiving the foregoing items, shall (i) give Lender notice by telephone if any
intervening liens are disclosed (other than those expressly listed in the Policy), and (ii) only with
respect to that portion of an Advance of Loan proceeds, deliver to Lender a date-down
endorsement which includes and insures the current Advance within the coverage of the Policy.
If any such intervening liens (or other matters which in the Lender's sole judgment jeopardizes
its security interest in the Project) are discovered by the Title Company, the Title Company shall
refrain from making further disbursements from the General Account until Lender notifies the
Title Company that such intervening liens or other matters have been waived by Lender or
satisfied. Upon demand of Lender, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement,
Borrower shall immediately cause any such liens or other matters to be satisfied of record or
bonded, or shall make other arrangements with respect to the discharge thereof satisfactory to
Lender.
If all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and this Agreement have been
complied with by the Borrower, if no default or Event of Default exists under the Loan
Agreement, if Lender has approved the Request For Advance (if required hereunder), and if the
Request For Advance is for Loan proceeds, Lender shall approve the Advance in a manner
satisfactory to the Title Company and Lender in the principal amount of the requested Advance
(less any retainage required under the Loan Agreement and any amounts payable by Lender
outside of this Agreement). The Title Company shall, as promptly as possible thereafter, if all of
the conditions of this Agreement have been complied with in a manner satisfactory to the Title
Company, and if the Title Company has not received notice from Lender that a default or an
Event of Default exists under the Loan Agreement, disburse the Loan proceeds by delivering to
- 3 -
the General Contractor, or at the Lender's request or the Title Company's option, to each of the
Subcontractors entitled to receive any of such proceeds, by check or wire transfer, the amounts
set forth in such Request For Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Title Company shall not disburse any portion of the
Loan proceeds without prior written consent by the City. The City agrees promptly to review
any Request for Advance, and shall approve disbursements within ten (10) business days of the
City receiving the Request for Advance which (i) are for payment of the costs of the Project,
based upon which the amount ofthe security was calculated, and (ii) are in reasonable proportion
to the estimated costs set forth in Exhibit A, (iii) are for work which has been approved by the
City Engineer in accordance with the City's standards for approval and acceptance of public
improvements, and (iv) do not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the amounts set forth in Exhibit
A with respect to any categories of improvements until the warranty period for such categories of
improvements have expired in accordance with the Development Agreement.
The City agrees to accept, in lieu of any undisbursed portion of the Loan still on deposit
with the Title Company, a letter of credit issued by a Minnesota commercial bank in the amount
of such undisbursed portion of the Loan and otherwise in the form required by the Development
Agreement, and upon receipt of such letter of credit agrees to consent to disbursement of such
undisbursed portion of the Loan in any manner directed by Lender.
7. Disbursement to City. In the event Borrower commences construction of the
Project and thereafter defaults under the Development Agreement and such default is not cured
by the Borrower pursuant to the Development Agreement or the Lender pursuant to the Consent
to Assignment and Agreement, City may draw on the Loan to pay the costs actually incurred by
City to complete the Project or cure the default under the Development Agreement. In order to
draw on the Loan, City shall provide Title Company with the following items:
(a) if to cure a default under the Development Agreement other than to complete the
Project:
(i) A written statement executed by an authorized official of City which states
the nature of default under the Development Agreement; and
(ii) A request for disbursement (AlA Form G701/702) for an advance of the
Loan; and
(b) if to complete the Project:
(iii) (i) and (ii) above;
(iv) A certificate executed by an authorized official of City certifying the
portion of the Project completed at that time, that each contractor,
subcontractor, or materialman specified in the request for disbursement
has satisfactorily completed the work for which payment is requested, and
that all funds previously disbursed to City have been applied as per City's
previous request for disbursement;
-4-
(v) Waivers of mechanic's liens and materialman's liens for the Project
included in the previous request for disbursement; and
(vi) Such other evidence as the Title Company may reasonably require to
substantiate all payments which are to be made out of such requested
disbursement.
Upon receipt of the foregoing items, the Title Company shall disburse such portion of the
Loan as requested by City within ten (10) business days of receipt of the City's written request if
the funds are to be used to complete the Project and three (3) business days if the funds are to be
used to cure any other default under the Development Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, any such disbursement from the Loan to City shall not be more than that amount of
the Loan then deposited and only for the actual costs incurred by City to complete the unfinished
work of the Project or to cure the default under the Development Agreement.
8. Title Company Records. The Title Company shall keep records showing the
names of all Subcontractors and other payees to whom disbursement,s of Loan proceeds are
made by the Title Company, the date of each disbursement, and the amount of each
disbursement, which records may be inspected by the Borrower and Lender.
9. Improper Documentation. If the Title Company shall determine, in its reasonable
judgment, that proper documentation to support a given disbursement, as required by this
Agreement, has not been furnished (or there is an error, inconsistency or contradiction in the
documentation), the Title Company shall withhold payment of all or such portion of such
disbursement as shall not be so supported by proper documentation, and shall promptly notify
Borrower and Lender of the discrepancy in or omission of such documentation. Until such time
as such discrepancy or omission is corrected to the satisfaction of the Title Company, it shall
withhold such amount.
10. Inspection of Proiect. Borrower shall be responsible for making inspections of
the Improvements during the course of construction, and shall determine to its own satisfaction
that the work done or material supplied by the General Contractor and Subcontractors to whom
disbursements are to be made out of each Advance has been properly done or supplied in
accordance with applicable contracts with the General Contractor and such Subcontractors. The
Title Company and the Lender shall not be required to conduct any inspection of the
Improvements on behalf of the Borrower.
11. Title Charges. All title and construction escrow charges incurred in connection
with this Agreement shall be the responsibility of the Borrower.
12. Loan Balance. If at any time during the course of construction, the total of the
unpaid Project Costs as indicated by the column totals on the Total Project Cost Statement or the
General Contractor's Sworn Construction Statement exceeds the aggregate sum of the
undisbursed Loan proceeds, the Title Company shall notify Lender and shall not make any
further disbursements under the terms of this Agreement until the Borrower has deposited with
the Title Company an amount equal to such excess, or unless specifically directed to do so by the
- 5 -
Lender. Borrower represents to Lender and Title Company that at the date of this Agreement,
the aggregate funds available for construction payments are sufficient to complete the Project.
13. Lender's and Title Companv's Liabilitv. It is expressly understood and agreed
that neither the Title Company nor the Lender assumes any liability or responsibility for the
satisfactory completion of the Improvements, for the adequacy of funds advanced or disbursed
by either of them pursuant hereto and to the Loan Agreement to complete the Project, for
inspections during construction, or for any acts on the part of Borrower or the General
Contractor or the Subcontractors to be performed in the construction ofthe Improvements.

address set forth above, or to any other address specified in a notice given by such party to the
other parties not less than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the address change.
