easements set forth on Exhibit E (the "Permitted Encumbrances") .

objections, then Developer shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the HRA. The

which would not constitute Permitted Encumbrances, the HRA shall
have a period of 60 days in which to cure such matters or cause
the title company to commit to insure against such matters in a
manner which is reasonably satisfactory to Developer, and shall
use its best efforts to do so (and the HRA shall notify Developer
promptly if the HRA determines that the HRA will not be able to
do so); and if the HRA shall not cure such matters or cause the
title company to commit to insure against such matters in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to Developer, Developer shall have
the same rights as it would have in the event that the commitment
or' title policy were not in-accordance with the requirements of
this Agreement. Developer shall, at its expense, complete any
additional surveying or platting of the Development Property
required by the City in order for Developer to obtain P.U.D.

Agreement, Developer, at its expense, shall perform a reasonably
complete structural and environmental soil analysis of the
Development Property. In the event Developer reasonably
determines, based upon the results of the soil analysis, that
construction of the Improvements is not practicable without
material additional cost due to existing soil or groundwater
conditions, or due to the presence of Hazardous Substances on the
Development Property, or due to any other matter disclosed by the
soil analysis, Developer shall have the option of terminating
this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(d), provided that any
such termination must occur by the date that is 90 days after the

Section 8.1. ADDroval of Mortqaqe. Any First Mortgage
prior to issuance of the Certificate of Completion shall require
the prior written approval of the HRA's Director. After the
Certificate of Completion has been issued for a lot, no mortgage
or similar financing arrangement shall require any approval. by
the HRA Director or otherwise. Developer may rely upon any
approval granted hereunder by the HRA's Director without
additional action by the HRA. Approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and shall be given if:
(a) the HRA's Director first receives a copy of all
mortgage documents; and
(b) the HRA's Director determines that the terms of
the .First Mortgage conform and are subject to the terms of
this Agreement, except to the extent the HRA agrees to
subordinate its interest to the terms of the First Mortgage.
The Holder of the First Mortgage (or any nominee or agent
controlled by the Holder) shall not be obligated to undertake or
continue construction or completion of the Improvements while in
possession of the Development Property pursuant to the
foreclosure, or conveyance by Developer to the Holder in lieu of
foreclosure, except upon express assumption of such obligation as
provided in Section 8.3, provided that nothing in this Section or
in any other section of this Agreement shall be deemed or
construed to permit any Holder to devote the Development Property
or any portion thereof to any use, or to construct any
improvement, other than those uses or improvements permitted by
this Agreement. Further, any party who obtains any interest in
all or any portion of the Development Property from or through
any Holder, except for any nominee or agent controlled by the
Holder, whether through foreclosure sale or otherwise, shall be
strictly subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
as such are binding on Developer, and such party shall not be
entitled to any additional rights or privileges granted a Holder
hereunder. TheHRA also agrees to execute any non-disturbance
agreement reasonably requested by a Holder, provided it does not
conflict in any material respect with the HRA's rights under this

with respect to any breach or default by Developer in its
obligations or covenants under this Agreement, the HRA shall at
the same time forward a copy of such notice or demand to each
known Holder of any First Mortgage at the last address of such
Holder shown in the records of the HRA.
Section 8.3. Mortqaqee's Obtion to Cure Defaults. After
any breach or default referred to in Section 8.2 hereof, each
such Holder shall (insofar as the rights of the HRA are concerned
and subject to any rights of the Mortgagor under such Mortgage)
have the right (but not the obligation), at its option, for a
period of 90 days after notice of such default pursuant to
Section 8.2 hereof, to cure or remedy such breach or default and
to add the cost thereof to the Mortgage debt and the lien of its
Mortgage. Notice shall be deemed given in the manner described
in Section 11.4. If a default is not susceptible of cure within
such 90-day period, the Holder shall have such period of time as
is necessary to cure such default provided the Holder promptly
commences the cure and thereafter proceeds to cure such default
as soon as reasonably possible and provided such failure to cure
within 90 days does not jeopardize the purposes of the Agreement
or the Plan. However, if the breach or default is with respect
to construction of the Improvements, nothing contained in this
Section or any other Section of this Agreement shall be deemed to
permit or authorize such Holder, either before or after
foreclosure or action in lieu thereof, to undertake or continue
the construction or completion of the Improvements (beyond the
extent necessary to conserve or protect Improvements or
construction already made) for more than 90 days after the Holder
has received notice of such default pursuant to Section 8.2
hereof, without first having expressly assumed the obligation to
the HRA, by written agreement reasonably satisfactory to the HRA,
to complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement and in
conformance with the Development Plans, the Improvements on the
Development Property. If the Holder enters into an agreement
assuming the obligations of Developer under the Agreement, such
agreement shall provide that all obligations of the Holder
thereunder shall terminate at such time as the Agreement is
assigned by the Holder in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9.1 of the Agreement or in accordance with the following
paragraph. Any Holder who shall properly complete the
Improvements relating to the Development Property shall be
entitled, upon written request made to the HRA, to a
certification by the HRA to such effect in the manner provided in
Section 4.3 of this Agreement.
In addition to the assignments permitted pursuant to
Section 9.1 of the Agreement, if the Holder of a First Mortgage
acquires the interest of Developer under the terms of the .
Agreement by foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
Holder shall, prior to issuance of the Certificate of Completion,
be permitted to assign its interest in the Agreement with the
consent of HRA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. In exercising its judgment as to whether or not to
grant such consent, the HRA shall take into account only the

financial condition and experience of the proposed assignee and
its c~pacity to perform the obligations remaining to be performed

that, after the Certificate of Completion has been issued, the
provisions of Section 9.1 shall govern. Any such assignee shall
agree in writing with the HRA, for itself and its successors and
assigns, to be bound by the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, the Deed, the Assessment Agreement, and the Plan, and
not to transfer, mortgage or otherwise convey any portion of the
Development Property except as permitted in the Agreement.
Following an assignment to any assignee meeting the foregoing
requirements, the Holder shall be released from any obligation or
liability hereunder.
Section 8.4. HRA's Ootion to Cure Default on Mortqaqe. Any
Mortgage executed by Developer with respect to the Development
Property, or any improvements thereon, shall provide that, in the
event that Developer is in default under any Mortgage author~zed
pursuant to this Article VIII, the mortgagee, simultaneous with
the giving of notice to Developer, shall notify the HRA in
writing of:
(a) the fact of the default;
(b) the elements of the default; and
(c) the actions required to cure the default.
The HRA shall have the right to cure any such default which
occurs prior to issuance of the Certificate of Completion, which
right shall run concurrent with any cure period to which
Developer is entitled, provided that the HRA gives Developer
advance written notice of its intent to cure. In the event of
such cure prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion,
the HRA shall thereupon be entitled, in addition to and without .
limitation upon any other rights or remedies to which it may be
entitled, to reimbursement from Developer or any successor or
assignee (but not any Holder) of any costs and expenses incurred
by the HRA in curing such default. Interest shall accrue on any
amounts due the HRA under this paragraph at the reference rate of
interest then in effect at First Bank Minneapolis until such
amounts are paid, and such amounts shall result in the creation
of a lien on the Development Property in favor of the HRA,
subordinate to the lien of any First Mortgage.
Section 8.5. Subordinate Liens. Until the Certificate of
Completion has been issued, Developer agrees that it will not
create, incur, assume or suffer any security interest, mortgage,
pledge, lien, charge, or like encumbrance upon the Development
Property except for a First Mortgage permitted under this
Article. Developer may, at its own expense, in its own name and
in good faith, contest any involuntary lien, charge or like
encumbrance and not be in default hereunder provided Developer
first posts a bond or provides other security to the HRA or to
the Holder, or to an agent of the Holder, including, without

thereof) may not be sold, transferred or assigned by Developer
without the prior written consent of the HRA, which consent may
be granted or withheld by the HRA in its sole discretion.
After the Certificate of Completion has been issued by the
HRA, but prior to December 31, 2006, this Agreement and
Developer's interest in the Development Property (or any part
thereof) may be sold, transferred or assigned by Developer, and
Developer shall be released from any obligation or liability to
the extent of the interest sold, provided that the purchaser, as
of the date of such transfer, has a net worth of at least
$5,000,000 and has or will retain a management agent who is
experienced in managing and operating retail properties of a type
and character similar to the Improvements, and the business
reputation of the proposed purchaser is not inconsistent with
generally accepted commercial standards, and the purchaser first
agrees in writing with the HRA, for himself, his heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns, to be bound by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Deed, the Assessment
Agreement, and the Plan, and not to sell, transfer, mortgage or
otherwise assign any portion of the Development Property except

Agreement and Developer's interest in the Development Property
(or any part thereof) may be sold, transferred or conveyed by
Developer free of the foregoing conditions, but, in such event,
Developer shall remain primarily liable for performance of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Assessment
Agreement.

all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and to assume

Agreement to the extent such agreements pertain to the Outlot(s).
The Parties also agree that each such parcel shall be treated as
separate for purposes of issuing it a Certificate of Completion
upon completion of construction of the Improvements in accordance
with the Development Plans on such parcel, but that no
Certificate of Completion will be issued for either Outlot unless
and until the Improvements thereon are substantially completed
and it opens as a restaurant. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary contained herein, until the issuance of a
Certificate of Completion for either Outlot, Developer shall
remain primarily liable for all of the obligations contained in
this Agreement, the Deed, and the Assessment Agreement with
respect to such Outlot, as if the transfer had not yet occurred.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, after
the Certificate of Completion has been issued for an Outlot,
Developer and the Guarantor shall be released from any obligation
or liability hereunder with respect to such Outlot, except with
respect to any Events of Default existing at that time with
respect to the Outlot. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the HRA further agrees that, upon
issuance of the Certificate of Completion for either of the
Outlots, the Outlot and the owner of the Outlot shall be released

Agreement and the other agreements contained in the Exhibits
hereto other than (a) Article V of this Agreement, (b) the
Assessment Agreement, and (c) Section 3.8 of this Agreement which
requires that such Outlot be used exclusively for a restaurant or
retail use, provided that in the event of destruction or
substantial damage to the improvements on such Outlot due to fire
or other casualty after completion, or upon the taking of such
parcel or any part thereof by condemnation or eminent domain, the
owner of the Outlot shall not be required to rebuild a restaurant
or other retail use on the Outlot and, in that event, the owner
may devote the Outlot to any other lawful retail use or may raze
the site to grade and landscape the parcel with trees, shrubs and
grass in a manner which is compatible with the surrounding area
and reasonably acceptable to the HRA.
Developer shall also require the purchasers of each Outlot
to enter into mutual cross-access and cross-parking agreements
with the owners of the other Outlot and the remainder of the
Development Property, which agreements shall be in form
