Allocation Areas and Pledged Increment; Bonds Structure. (a) Allocation Areas. Subject to all procedures required by the Laws and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and prior to Closing for the Senior Bonds, the City Bodies shall establish the Allocation Areas. Subject to all procedures required by the Laws the City Bodies shall pledge: (i) the Pledged Increment to the repayment of the Senior Bonds, the Subordinate Bonds and the Junior Subordinate Bonds; (ii) capitalized interest to the Bonds, as applicable; and (iii) the Taxpayer Payments to the repayment of the Subordinate Bonds. The foregoing pledges will remain effective for the respective Bond Terms. (b) Payment Order. Pledged Increment will be utilized in the following order: (i) to make current payments of interest and principal on the Senior Bonds, (ii) to replenish reserves for the Senior Bonds, (iii) to make current payments of interest and principal on the Subordinate Bonds, (iv) to remedy any prior shortfalls with respect to payments of interest and principal on the Subordinate Bonds pursuant to the Taxpayer Agreements (in any instance, a “Shortfall”) or, in the event of a Shortfall, reimburse Developer or a Developer affiliate if such entity makes a payment on the Subordinate Bonds (including its carrying costs for such payments), (v) to replenish reserves for the Subordinate Bonds, (vi) to pay Continuing Bond Costs, and (vii) to make payments of interest and principal on the Junior Subordinate Bonds. City Bodies shall not pledge to the repayment of the Bonds any tax revenues or other funds of the City, except the Pledged Increment. City Bodies shall not be liable for any shortfall in the Pledged Increment. Beginning not less than thirty (30) days prior to the initial date for the first (1st) debt service payment on the Union Project (as stated in the Project Analysis) and continuing for each consecutive year thereafter during the Reimbursement Term (as that term is hereinafter defined), the City shall pay to Developer the Reimbursement Amount, if any, semi-annually on or before May 10th and Project Agreement 16 The Union & The Crossing Page 19 of 53 November 10th of each year of the Reimbursement Term. The “Reimbursement Term” is defined as the earlier of either (i) twenty-five (25) years, or (ii) the date on which owners of the parcels within the Additional Crossing Allocation Area are liable for making a taxpayer payment pursuant to a developer obligations agreement that requires such owners to guarantee tax payments in an amount not less than the Additional Estimated Taxes for such parcel. For the avoidance of doubt, the Reimbursement Term may vary for each parcel within the Additional Crossing Allocation Area depending on when an owner of a parcel within the Additional Crossing Allocation Area is liable for making a payment pursuant to a developer obligations agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything included herein to the contrary, the Reimbursement Amount shall only be due from the City to the Developer in any semi-annual period, to the extent a Taxpayer Payment is required to be made under a Taxpayer Agreement for such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing with respect to the order of uses of Pledged Increment, the Yard TIF shall be used only to pay debt service on the Senior Bonds and the Subordinate Bonds. The Yard TIF, if available and needed to pay debt service on the Senior Bonds or the Subordinate Bonds will be utilized for debt service on the Senior Bonds before being applied to the Subordinate Bonds. (c) TIF Revenue Shortfalls. In the event of any Shortfall, such Shortfall shall accrue interest at the Subordinate Bond Interest Rate notwithstanding whether, in the event of a Shortfall, Developer or a Developer affiliate makes a payment on the Subordinate Bonds. (d) Excess TIF. To the extent there is Excess TIF, such Excess TIF shall be available to the RDC to use for any purpose under the Laws, in its sole discretion. (e) Interest During Construction. At the option and discretion of Developer, the Bonds shall bear interest (i) at zero percent from their date of issuance until Substantial Completion (and, thereafter, at the Bond Interest Rate, or (ii) at the Bond Interest Rate from their date of issuance throughout the Bond Term. After the Project has been assessed and is generating increment, the Bonds will (i) bear interest at the Bond Interest Rate and (ii) be in accordance with the City authorizations relating to the Bonds. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Bond Interest Rate” shall mean a rate intended to be equal to or less than eight percent (8%), as determined jointly by the Parties, each in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. (f) Costs of Issuance and Administrative Fees. Developer shall be solely liable for all Closing Costs, which amounts shall be paid from Bond Proceeds, and, subject to Section 11, Bond Proceeds shall additionally be used to pay Continuing Bond Costs. (g) Bond Structuring. The Bonds may be structured in one or more series to support the Projects. It is currently anticipated that the Senior Bonds will (i) be payable solely from Pledged Increment (including the Yard TIF), with the lien of the Pledged Increment being pledged on a senior basis to the Subordinate Bonds and Junior Subordinate Bonds, (ii) be issued on a tax-exempt basis, (iii) be issued in multiple separate series on two or more different closing dates, and (iv) be utilized to finance the Crossing Project and the Union Project (but not the Union Project Public Garage). In connection with the issuance of the Senior Bonds it is anticipated that the Developer will own and operate the Crossing Project, the Crossing Project Site, the Union Project (but not own the Union Project Public Garage or have other rights with respect to the Union Project Public Garage that would cause interest on the Subordinate Bonds to Project Agreement 17 The Union & The Crossing Page 20 of 53 be taxable) and the Union Project Site. It is currently anticipated that the Subordinate Bonds will (i) be payable from (A) the Pledged Increment (including the Yard TIF), with the lien of the Pledged Increment pledged to the Subordinate Bonds being subject to the prior payment of the Senior Bonds and senior to the payment of the Junior Subordinate Bonds, and, to the extent the Pledged Increment is insufficient, from the Taxpayer Payments, (ii) be issued on a tax-exempt basis, and (iii) be utilized to finance the Union Project Public Garage. It is currently anticipated that the Junior Subordinate Bonds will (i) be payable from the Pledged Increment, with the lien of the Project Increment pledged to the Junior Subordinate Bonds being subject to the prior payment of the Senior Bonds and the Subordinate Bonds, (ii) be issued on a taxable basis, and (iii) be utilized to finance the Union Project Public Garage. In connection with the issuance of the Subordinate Bonds and Junior Subordinate Bonds it is anticipated that the City will ultimately own and operate the Union Project Public Garage, but that the Union Project Public Garage will be managed by the Developer pursuant to a Revenue Procedure 2017-13 compliant management agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the parties acknowledge that the proceeds of: (i) the Subordinate Bonds and Junior Subordinate Bonds will be allocated to the Union Project Public Garage portion of the Union Project; and (ii) the Senior Bonds will be allocated to the Crossing Project and the Union Project but excluding the Union Project Public Garage portion of the Union Project. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, including as set forth in Sections 3, 4(a) and 7(h), Bonds may be issued in conjunction with either Project Closing, or on one or more dates separate from and after the Project Closing dates, and there is no requirement that Bonds be issued in conjunction with a Project Closing; provided, however, the Bonds shall not be issued prior to the Union Project Closing. 12. Plan Refinement Process. For each of the Projects, Developer shall prepare and submit the Final Documents and Drawings to the City as part of the Plan Refinement Process. While City may provide written comments to Developer regarding the Final Documents and Drawings, City’s rights to approve the Final Documents and Drawings shall be limited to its rights under applicable City process(es) for Zoning and the Required Permits. 13. Inspections. City shall have inspection rights to ensure compliance by Developer with Zoning, the Required Permits, and as otherwise permitted by the Laws. 14. Taxpayer Agreement. For the Subordinate Bonds, to the extent determined necessary for the Subordinate Bonds by the Developer, Developer and the City and the RDC agree to enter into a mutually acceptable Taxpayer Agreement for the Subordinate Bonds, covering the Union Allocation Area, that (a) states that beginning in the calendar year following the first January 1 after Substantial Completion of the Union Project continuing through each calendar year of the applicable Bond Term, Developer agrees to (i) annually (in semi-annual payments on the dates that are twenty (20) days prior to the next-due payment of debt service on the Subordinate Bonds) pay RDC the positive difference, if any, between: (A) the amount of the required debt service payment on the Subordinate Bonds; and (B) the Pledged Increment distributable to RDC for the applicable year available for payment on the Subordinate Bonds, following payment of the Senior Bonds; (b) provides that the payments due by Developer thereunder are secured by an annually renewable lien against the Union Project Site that is the same in nature and priority to (but different from and in addition to) the lien of Real Estate Taxes and, accordingly, shall: (i) be prior to any Project Agreement 18 The Union & The Crossing Page 21 of 53 mortgage or other lien or encumbrance on the Union Project Site other than the lien of Real Estate Taxes; and (ii) renew automatically every January 1 during the Bond Term in its same priority; and (c) shall be recorded and run with the real property comprising the Union Project Site. Nothing in this Agreement or the Taxpayer Agreement (if required by Developer) shall be deemed to release Developer from any obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes on the Union Project Site regardless of when payable or assessed. The Taxpayer Payments shall only secure payment of the Subordinate Bonds and shall only be required to the extent the Pledged Increment, following payment of the Senior Bonds is insufficient to make payment on the Subordinate Bonds. The Taxpayer Agreement shall be drafted as a guarantee of payments on the Subordinate Bonds and in a manner that does not endanger the tax-exempt status of the Senior Bonds. In the event developer obligations agreements are entered into for the Additional Crossing Allocation Areas, such agreements shall be drafted as guarantees on the Subordinate Bonds and in a manner that does not endanger the tax-exempt status of the Senior and Subordinate Bonds. 15. Default. (a) Events of Default. It shall be an “Event of Default” if either Party fails to perform or observe any term or condition of this Agreement to be performed or observed by it, if such default or failure is not cured within the applicable Cure Period. (b) General Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the non- defaulting party may take whatever actions at law or in equity are necessary or appropriate to: (i) collect any payments due under this Agreement; (ii) protect the rights granted to the non-defaulting party under this Agreement; (iii) enforce the performance or observance by the defaulting Party of any term or condition of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to specifically enforce any such term or condition); or (iv) cure, for the account of the defaulting party, any failure of the defaulting party to perform or observe a material term or condition of this Agreement to be performed or observed by it. (c) No Remedy Exclusive; Limitation. No right or remedy herein conferred upon, or reserved to, a non-defaulting party is intended to be exclusive of any other available right or remedy, unless otherwise expressly stated; instead, each and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission by a non-defaulting party to exercise any right or remedy upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and any such right or remedy may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed to be expedient. To entitle a non-defaulting party to exercise any of its rights or remedies, it shall not be necessary for the non-defaulting party to give notice to the defaulting party, other than such notice as may be required by this Agreement or by the Laws. In no event shall any party hereunder be liable to the other for punitive or consequential damages as a result of an Event of Default by such party. In the event either party hereto employs an attorney in connection with Claims by one party against the other arising from the operation of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such Claims. The term “prevailing party” as used in this Agreement shall include, but not be limited to, a party who Project Agreement 19 The Union & The Crossing Page 22 of 53 obtains legal counsel or brings an action against the other by reason of the other’s breach or default and obtains substantially the relief sought whether by compromise, mediation, settlement, judgment or otherwise. 16. Indemnification. Developer shall indemnify and hold harmless City Bodies from and against any and all Claims arising from or connected with: (i) breaches by Developer under contracts to which Developer is a party, to the extent that such contracts relate to the performance of any work on the Project Site by Developer or any party acting by, under, through, or on behalf of Developer; (ii) injury to, or death of, persons or loss of, or damage to, property, suffered in connection with performance of any work on the Project Site by Developer or any party acting by, under, through, or on behalf of Developer; (iii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Developer or any party acting by, under, through, or on behalf of Developer; and (iv) the breach by Developer of any term or condition of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, City Bodies’ and Developer’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 17. Assignment. (a) Upon Closing, this Agreement shall run with each of the Project Sites and shall be binding on successors in title to the Project Sites. Prior to Substantial Completion of each of the Projects, Developer shall not assign this Agreement without the approval of the City, and the City Bodies shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written approval of Developer; provided that: (i) without the prior written approval of Developer, City Bodies may assign this Agreement to another agency or instrumentality of the City that legally is able to perform the respective obligations hereunder; and (ii) without the prior written approval of City, Developer may assign, partially or in its entirety, this Agreement to (A) a third party controlling, controlled by or under common control with Developer and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of Developer that has full power, authority, and capability to accept such assignment and perform the obligations of Developer hereunder; or (B) collaterally assign this Agreement (or portion hereof) to a Project Lender. (b) Notwithstanding any assignment permitted under this Section, the applicable City Bodies or Developer, as the case may be, shall remain liable to perform all of the terms and conditions to be performed by it under this Agreement, and the approval by the other party of any assignment shall not release any City Bodies or Developer, as the case may be, from such performance; provided that, if any City Body assigns this Agreement to another agency or instrumentality of the City that: (i) has full power and authority to accept an assignment of this Agreement and carry out the respective obligations hereunder, and (ii) expressly assumes all such obligations in writing; then the applicable City Bodies shall be released from liability under this Agreement for all obligations to be performed after the date of such assignment and assumption. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement the contrary, upon an assignment in strict compliance with this Agreement by Developer of its rights and obligations in respect of the Project no other assignee of Developer shall have any responsibility for any obligations of Developer other than those expressly assumed by any such assignee. Project Agreement 20 The Union & The Crossing Page 23 of 53 18. Notice.
