Members of the General Public
II. CALL TO ORDER: (Time: 9:00 a.m.). __________________opened the hearing and Joseph Amicone
read the following into the hearing record:
This public hearing is being conducted pursuant to Title 11 of Article 8 of the Public
Authorities Law of the State of New York, as amended, and Chapter 759 of the Laws of 1967 of
the State of New York, as amended (collectively, the “Act”). A Notice of Public Hearing
describing the Project was published in Troy Record on ________________, a copy of which is
attached hereto and is an official part of this transcript. A copy of the Application submitted by
CityStation South, LLC to the Authority, along with a cost-benefit analysis, is available for
review and inspection by the general public in attendance at this hearing.
III. PROJECT SUMMARY
CITYSTATION SOUTH, LLC (the “Company”), previously submitted an Application for Financial
Assistance (the “Application”) requesting the Authority’s assistance with a certain project (the “Project”) consisting
of (i) the acquisition by the Authority of fee title to or a leasehold interest in one or more parcels of real property
located in the vicinity of Fifth Avenue and Ferry Street, Troy, New York 12180 (the “Land”, being comprised of
approximately 1.80 acres) and the existing site and infrastructure improvements located thereon (the “Existing
Improvements”), (ii) the construction and equipping upon the Land and around the Existing Improvements of a four
(4) story housing facility consisting of fifty-five (55) units of rental residential housing (collectively, the
“Improvements”), such Improvements to be known as “City Station South”, and (iii) the acquisition and installation
by the Company in and around the Existing Improvements and Improvements of certain items of equipment and
other tangible personal property necessary and incidental in connection with the Company’s development of the
Project in and around the Land and Existing Improvements (the “Equipment”, and collectively with the Land, the
Existing Improvements and the Improvements, the “Facility”).
It is contemplated that the Authority will acquire title to, or a leasehold interest in, the Facility and lease the
Facility back to the Company. The Company will operate the Facility during the term of the lease. At the end of
the lease term, the Company will purchase the Facility from the Authority, or if the Authority holds a leasehold
interest, the leasehold interest will be terminated. The Authority contemplates that it will provide financial
assistance (the “Financial Assistance”) to the Company in the form of (a) a mortgage recording tax exemption
relating to one or more financings secured in furtherance of the Project; (b) a sales and use tax exemption for
purchases and rentals related to the Project; and (c) a partial real property tax abatement structured through a PILOT
Agreement. The foregoing Financial Assistance and the Authority’s involvement in the Project are being considered
to promote the economic welfare and prosperity of residents of the City of Troy, New York.
The Authority is considering a deviation from its Uniform Tax Exemption Policy (“UTEP”) with respect to
the contemplated payment-in-lieu-of-tax-agreement (the “PILOT Agreement”) to be entered into between the
Authority and the Company. Specifically, the Authority is contemplating a deviation from the UTEP to provide: (i)
a PILOT term of up to twenty (20) years; (ii) a fixed PILOT payment schedule requiring initial annual fixed-dollar
amount payments for each of the Fifty-Five (55) residential units to be incorporated into the Project, with such
annual payments escalating annually during the term of the PILOT Agreement. Portions of the Land and Existing
Improvements are currently exempt from real property and special district taxes by virtue of their ownership by the
City. Upon due consideration of the Company’s application, the various positive economic and social impacts of the
Project, and the Project’s general satisfaction of several considerations set forth within the UTEP, including, but not
limited to (i) the impact of the proposed project on existing and proposed businesses and economic development
projects in the City; (ii) the substantial capital investment associated with the Project derived from Company
sources; and (iii) the extent to which the proposed project will provide additional sources of revenue for
municipalities or school districts, the Authority desires to approve the proposed terms of the PILOT Agreement.
IV. AGENCY COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The Company Application for Financial Assistance indicates a total project cost of approximately
$7,600,000 with the addition of at least 1 new full-time job. A significant number of construction jobs are
contemplated, and the Company contemplates investing over $6,000,000 in improvements to the Facility.
Based upon additional information provided by the Company, the Agency estimates the following amounts of
financial assistance to be provided to the Company:
Mortgage Recording Tax Exemption
($7,600,000 mortgage loan) = $95,000.00
Sales and Use Tax Exemptions
(Estimated $2,500,000 in taxable materials) = $200,000.00
PILOT Payments = $811,007.00
Estimated Full Taxes (est $4M FMV) = $3,507,559.00
Estimated PILOT Savings = $2,696,552.00
Total estimated Financial Assistance = $2,991,552.00
IV. SEQRA:
The City’s Planning Board is designated lead agency under Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation
Law and Regulations adopted pursuant thereto by the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of
New York (collectively, “SEQRA”) for purposes of review of the Project. It is contemplated that the Authority will
ratify the findings adopted by the Planning Board prior to or commensurate with the approval of the undertaking of
the Project.
V. COMMENTS AND SUBMISSIONS FROM AFFECTED TAX JURISDICTIONS
[The Authority has received and reviewed the following correspondence from the affected taxing
jurisdictions:]
The Authority now invites any representatives of the affected taxing jurisdictions to address this public
hearing and meeting of the Authority with regard to the Project and the proposed deviation.

PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAX AGREEMENT
THIS PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAX AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of the
1st day of March 2011, by and between the TROY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY, a public benefit corporation of the State of New York, having its offices at 1776
Sixth Avenue, Troy, New York 12180 (the “Authority”) and CITYSTATION SOUTH, LLC, a
New York limited liability Company having offices at 300 Jordan Road, Troy, New York 12180
(the “Company”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, by Title 11 of Article 8 of the Public Authorities Law of the State of New
York (the “State”), as amended, and Chapter 759 of the Laws of 1967 of the State of New York,
as amended (hereinafter collectively called the “Act”), the Authority was created with the
authority and power to own, lease and sell property for the purpose of, among other things,
acquiring, constructing and equipping civic, industrial, manufacturing and commercial facilities
as authorized by the Act; and
WHEREAS, CITYSTATION SOUTH, LLC (the “Company”), has requested the
Authority’s assistance with a certain project (the “Project”) consisting of (i) the
acquisition by the Authority of fee title to or a leasehold interest in one or more parcels
of real property located in the vicinity of Fifth Avenue and Ferry Street, Troy, New York
12180 (the “Land”, being comprised of approximately 1.80 acres) and the existing site
and infrastructure improvements located thereon (the “Existing Improvements”), (ii) the
construction and equipping upon the Land and around the Existing Improvements of a
four (4) story housing facility consisting of fifty-five (55) units of rental residential
housing (collectively, the “Improvements”), such Improvements to be known as “City
Station South”, and (iii) the acquisition and installation by the Company in and around
the Existing Improvements and Improvements of certain items of equipment and other
tangible personal property necessary and incidental in connection with the Company’s
development of the Project in and around the Land and Existing Improvements (the
“Equipment”, and collectively with the Land, the Existing Improvements and the
Improvements, the “Facility”); and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Company to acquire, renovate, construct and equip the
Facility, the Authority is willing to take a fee interest in the land, improvements and personal
property constituting the Facility and lease said land, improvements and personal property back
to the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of a certain Lease Agreement to be dated
on or about the date hereof (the “Lease Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1963 of the Act, the Authority is exempt from the
payment of taxes imposed upon real property and improvements owned by it or under its
jurisdiction, control or supervision, other than special ad valorem levies, special assessments and
service charges against real property which are or may be imposed for special improvements or
special district improvements; and
1
WHEREAS, the Authority and the Company deem it necessary and proper to enter into
an agreement making provisions for payments in lieu of taxes by the Company to the Authority
for the benefit of the County of Rensselaer (the “County”), the City of Troy (the “City”), and the
Enlarged City School District of Troy (hereinafter the “School District” or “School” and,
collectively with the County and the City, the “Affected Tax Jurisdictions”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein contained and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is
mutually agreed as follows:
Section I - Payment in lieu of Ad Valorem Taxes:
1.1 A. Acquisition of Land and Existing Improvements; Prior Exemption
Continued. Prior to the date hereof, certain portions of the Land and Existing Improvements
were owned by the City of Troy (the “City”), including TMID Nos. 101.61-13-2.1 - 120 Ferry
Street, 101.61-13-4 - Ferry Street (Former Reed Alley), 101.61-13-12 - 1488 Fifth Avenue,
101.61-13-13 - 116 Ferry Street, and 101.61-13-14 - 1494 Fifth Avenue (collectively, the “City
Land”), and therefore such City Land was heretofore exempt from real property taxes pursuant to
the Real Property Tax Law. The Company and City have cause title to the City Land to be
delivered to the Authority by deed dated March 1, 2012 (the “Deed to Authority”).
Pursuant to the Deed to Authority, the Company has also transferred fee title to certain
parcels of real property (and existing improvements thereon) constituting portions of the Land
and Existing Improvements, including 101.61-13-3.1 - 124 Ferry Street, 101.61-13-3.2 - Ferry
Street, 101.61-13-2.2 - Fifth Avenue, 101.61-13-10.2 - 1486 Fifth Avenue, and 101.61-13-11 -
1478 Fifth Avenue (collectively, the “Company Land”).
Pursuant to Section 1963 of the Act, RPTL Section 412, and relevant opinions issued by
the New York State Office of Real Property Tax Services, the Authority’s acquisition of a fee
interest in (i) the City Land shall have the effect of continuing and maintaining the exempt status
(Section Roll 8) of the City Land, and (ii) the Company Land shall have the effect of immediate
exempt status (Section Roll 8) of the Company Land.
B. Subject to the completion and filing by the taxable status date of March 1,
2012 (the “Taxable Status Date”) of New York State Form RP-412-a Application For Real
Property Tax Exemption (the “Exemption Application”) under RPTL Section 412 and Section
1963 of the Act and the approval of the Exemption Application by the appropriate assessors or
Board of Assessment Review, the Land and Existing Improvements, and Improvements once
constructed, shall be and continue to be exempt from Real Estate Taxes commencing as of the
date hereof, such exemption to include the current tax years and prospectively, the 2013 City and
County tax years and the 2012/2013 School tax year through the termination date, as defined
herein. For purposes of the foregoing “Real Estate Taxes” means all general levy real estate
taxes levied against the Facility by the County, City and School. The Company shall provide to
the Authority the information necessary for the completion and filing of the Exemption
Application and shall provide such additional information and take such actions as are required
2
by the appropriate assessors or Board of Assessment Review to process and approve the
Exemption Application. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Lease Agreement
to the contrary, in the event the exemption from Real Estate Taxes is denied for any reason, the
Company shall pay (and hereby agrees to pay) all Real Estate Taxes levied upon the Facility as
they become due. After giving written notice to the Authority, the Company may in good faith
contest the denial of the Exemption Application, provided that (i) the overall operating efficiency
of the Facility is not impaired and the Facility continues to qualify as a “project” under the Act;
(ii) neither the Facility nor any part of or interest therein has been declared in default under any
document for which the Facility could be sold, forfeited or lost; and (iv) neither the Company
nor the Authority, as a result of such contest, shall be in any danger of any civil or criminal
liability. The Company hereby waives any claim or cause of action against the Authority, and
releases the Authority from any liability to the Company, arising from the denial of an exemption
from Real Estate Taxes except to the extent that such denial results solely from the failure of the
Authority to file the Exemption Application with the appropriate assessors or Board of
Assessment Review by the Taxable Status Date.
B. Payee. As long as the Facility is owned by the Authority and
leased by the Authority to the Company pursuant to the Lease Agreement, or under the
Authority’s jurisdiction, control or supervision, the Company agrees to pay annually to
the Affected Tax Jurisdictions as a payment in lieu of taxes, on or before September 30
of each year (collectively, the “Payment Date”), commencing on September 30, 2013,
an amount equal to the Total PILOT Payment, as defined in Schedule A hereto. The
Authority shall send a single invoice to the Company on or before September 1 of each
year which shall state the Total PILOT Payment due.
The parties agree and acknowledge that payments made hereunder are to obtain revenues
for public purposes, and to provide a revenue source that the Affected Tax Jurisdictions would
otherwise lose because the subject parcels are not on the tax rolls.
In addition to the Total PILOT Payments payable hereunder, the Company shall pay or
cause to be paid all Real Estate Taxes due and payable as of the date hereof and relating to the
Company Land, including all County and City Real Estate Taxes for the calendar year 2012.
1.2 Allocation. The Authority shall remit to the Affected Tax Jurisdictions amounts
received hereunder, if any, within thirty (30) days of receipt of said payment and shall allocate
said payments among the Affected Tax Jurisdictions in the same proportion as ad valorem taxes
would have been allocated but for the Authority's involvement, unless the Affected Tax
Jurisdictions have consented in writing to a specific allocation.
1.3 Tax Rates. For purposes of determining the allocation of the Total PILOT
Payment among the Affected Tax Jurisdictions, the Authority shall use the last tax rate utilized
for levy of taxes by each such jurisdiction. For County, City and special district purposes, the
tax rates used to determine the allocation of the Total PILOT Payment shall be the tax rates
relating to the calendar year which includes the PILOT payment due date. For School District
purposes, the tax rates used to determine the PILOT payment shall be the rate relating to the
school year which includes the PILOT payment due date.
3
1.4 Valuation of Future Additions to the Facility: If there shall be a future addition to
the Facility constructed or added in any manner after the date of this Agreement (excluding the
Improvements, as defined herein), the Company shall notify the Authority of such future
addition (“Future Addition”). The notice to the Authority shall contain a copy of the application
for a building permit, plans and specifications, and any other relevant information that the
Authority may thereafter request. Upon the earlier of substantial completion, or the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for any such Future Addition to the Facility, the Company shall become
liable for payment of an increase in the Total PILOT Payment. The Authority shall notify the
Company of any proposed increase in the Total PILOT Payment related to such Future Addition.
If the Company shall disagree with the determination of assessed value for any Future Additions
made by the Authority, then and in that event that valuation shall be fixed by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any disagreement between the Company and the
Authority, the Company shall pay the increased Total PILOT payment until a different Total
PILOT Payment shall be established. If a lesser annual payment is determined in any proceeding
or by subsequent agreement of the parties, the Total PILOT Payment shall be re-computed and
any excess payment shall be refunded to the Company or, in the Authority's sole discretion, such
excess payment shall be applied as a credit against the next succeeding PILOT payment(s).
1.5 Period of Benefits. The tax benefits provided for herein should be deemed to
include (i) the remainder of 2012 County and City tax years and the 2011-2012 School tax year;
and (ii) and prospectively, the 2013 County and City tax year through the 2032 County and City
tax year, and (iii) the 2012-2013 School tax year through the 2031-2032 School tax year. This
PILOT Agreement shall expire on December 31, 2032; provided, however, the Company shall
pay the 2033 County and City tax bill and the 2032-2033 School tax bill on the dates and in the
amounts as if the Authority were not in title on the tax status date with respect to said tax years.
In no event shall the Company be entitled to receive tax benefits relative to the Facility for more
than the periods provided for herein, unless the period is extended by amendment to this
Agreement executed by both parties after any applicable public hearings. The Company agrees
that it will not seek any tax exemption for the Facility which could provide benefits for more
than the periods provided for herein and specifically agrees that the exemptions provided for
herein, to the extent actually received (based on the number of lease years elapsed), supersede
and are in substitution of the exemptions provided by Section 485-b and 485-e of the New York
Real Property Tax Law (“RPTL”). It is hereby agreed and understood that the Affected Tax
Jurisdictions can rely upon and enforce the above waiver to the same extent as if they were
signatories hereto.
Section II - Special District Charges, Special Assessments and Other Charges
2.1 Special district charges, special assessments, and special ad valorem levies
(specifically including but not limited to fire district charges), and pure water charges and sewer
charges are to be paid in full in accordance with normal billing practices, subject to any
applicable exemptions afforded according to the laws of the State, County or City, as may be
amended from time to time.
Section III - Transfer of Facility.
4
3.1 In the event that the Facility is transferred from the Authority to the Company and
the Company is ineligible for a continued tax exemption under some other tax incentive
program, or the exemption results in a payment to the Affected Tax Jurisdictions in excess of the
payment described in Section I herein, or this Agreement terminates and the property is not
timely transferred back to the Company, the Company agrees to pay no later than the next tax
lien date (plus any applicable grace period), to each of the Affected Tax Jurisdictions, an amount
equal to the taxes and assessments which would have been levied on the Facility (taking into
account any Total PILOT Payment previously made by the Company for the applicable PILOT
year) if the Facility had been classified as fully taxable as of the date of transfer or loss of
eligibility of all or a portion of the exemption described herein or date of termination.
Section IV - Assessment Challenges.
4.1 The Company shall have all of the rights and remedies of a taxpayer as if and to
the same extent as if the Company were the owner of the Facility only with respect to any
proposed special district charge and/or special assessment resulting from a change in assessment
with respect to the Facility by any of the Affected Tax Jurisdictions relating to any and likewise
shall be entitled to protest before and be heard by the appropriate assessors or Board of
Assessment Review, and shall be entitled to take any and all appropriate appeals or initiate any
proceedings to review the validity or amount of any proposed special district charge, special
assessment or change in assessment with respect to the Facility by any of the Affected Tax
Jurisdictions. However, the Company shall in all events make timely payments of all Total
4.2 Where appropriate pursuant to the provisions of this
Section IV, the Company shall (i) cause the appropriate real
estate tax assessment office and tax levy officers to assess the
Facility and apply tax rates to the respective assessments as if the
Facility were owned by the Company, (ii) file any accounts or tax
returns required by the appropriate real estate tax assessment
office and tax levy officers.
PILOT Payments due hereunder and no assessment challenge by the Company shall affect or
cause to invalidate the amount of any tax equivalent provided for herein.
Section V - Changes in Law.
5.1 To the extent the Facility is declared to be subject to taxation or
assessment by an amendment to the Act, other legislative change, or by final judgment
of a Court of competent jurisdiction, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall, to
such extent, be null and void.
Section VI - Events of Default.
5
6.1 The following shall constitute “Events of Default” hereunder. The failure by the
Company (or any authorized assignee hereunder) to: (i) make the payments described in Section
I within thirty (30) days of the Payment Date (the “Delinquency Date”); (ii) make any other
payments described herein on or before the last day of any applicable cure period within which
said payment can be made without penalty; or (iii) the occurrence and continuance of any events
of default under the Lease Agreement after the expiration of any applicable notice or cure
periods. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to any other right
or remedy the Authority and/or the Affected Tax Jurisdictions may have at law or in equity, the
Authority and/or Affected Tax Jurisdictions may, immediately and without further notice to the
Company (but with notice to the Authority with respect to actions maintained by the Affected
Tax Jurisdictions) pursue any action in the courts to enforce payment or to otherwise recover
directly from the Company any amounts so in default. The Authority and the Company hereby
acknowledge the right of the Affected Tax Jurisdictions to recover directly from the Company
any amounts so in default pursuant to applicable provisions of the Act and the Company shall
immediately notify the Authority of any action brought, or other measure taken, by any Affected
Tax Jurisdiction to recover any such amount.
6.2 If payments pursuant to Section I herein are not made by the Delinquency Dates,
or if any other payment required to be made hereunder is not made by the last day of any
applicable cure period within which said payment can be made without penalty, the Company
shall pay penalties and interest as follows. With respect to payments to be made pursuant to
Section I herein, if said payment is not received by the Delinquency Date as defined in Section
6.1 herein, the Company shall pay, in addition to said payment, (i) a late payment penalty equal
to five percent (5%) of the amount due and (ii) for each month, or any part thereof, that any such
payment is delinquent beyond the first month, interest on the total amount due plus the late
payment penalty, in an amount equal to one percent (1%) per month. With respect to all other
payments due hereunder, if said payment is not paid within any applicable cure period, Company
shall pay, in addition to said payment, the greater of the applicable penalties and interest or
penalties and interest which would have been incurred had payments made hereunder been tax
payments to the Affected Tax Jurisdictions.
Section VII - Assignment.
7.1 No portion of any interest in this Agreement may be assigned by the Company,
nor shall any person other than the Company be entitled to succeed to or otherwise obtain any
benefits of the Company hereunder without the prior written consent of the Authority, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Section VIII - Miscellaneous.

shall be deemed an original but which together shall constitute a single instrument.

Agreement.
8.5 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Authority, at its
sole discretion and on a case-by-case basis, may determine, (but shall not be required to do so)
with respect to a particular project, that a project has failed to meet its intended goals and to
require the project applicant to agree to the recapture by the Authority of the value of any or all
exemptions from taxation granted with respect to the project by virtue of the Authority's
involvement. Events that the Authority may determine will trigger recapture may include, but
not limited to (i) sale or closure of facility; (ii) significant employment reduction; (iii) significant
change in use in facility; (iv) significant change in business activities or project applicant or
operator; or (v) material noncompliance with or breach of terms of Authority transaction
documents or of zoning or land use laws or regulations or federal, state or local environmental
laws or regulations. If the Authority determines to provide for the recapture with respect to a
particular project, the Authority also shall, in its sole discretion and on a case-by-case basis,
determine the timing and percentage of recapture. The Authority shall notify the Company in
writing within thirty (30) days of any such Event of Default of its intent to recapture the benefits
conveyed pursuant to this PILOT Agreement (or any portion thereof).
8.6 PILOT Mortgage. As an inducement for the Authority to enter into this
Agreement, and commensurate herewith, the Authority and the Company have executed a certain
PILOT Mortgage, dated as of the date hereof (the “PILOT Mortgage”), wherein the Authority
and Company, as mortgagors, have mortgaged their respective interests in the Facility to the
Authority on behalf of the Affected Tax Jurisdictions, as mortgagees, for the purpose of securing
the Company’s performance and payment obligations hereunder, including the Company’s
obligation to make timely Total PILOT payments, as defined herein. The PILOT Mortgage,
when recorded, shall constitute a priority lien against the Facility in an amount equal to any and
all unpaid and defaulted Total PILOT Payments, such priority lien to be subordinate only to any
other additional mortgage liens secured against the Facility that the Authority may approve from
time to time (the “Additional Mortgages”); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE PAYMENT
OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY (AND ANY SUCCESSOR THERETO) UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE PILOT MORTGAGE HAVE A PRIORITY RIGHT OF PAYMENT
OVER AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER ANY SUCH ADDITIONAL MORTGAGES AND
THE PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS CREATED HEREIN AND BY THE PILOT MORTGAGE
ARE IN NO WAY SUBORDINATED TO THE PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY
ADDITIONAL MORTGAGES.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE TROY INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Company has presented an application in a form acceptable to the Authority. Based
upon the representations made by the Company to the Authority in the Company's application and in related
correspondence, the Authority hereby finds and determines that:
(A) By virtue of the Act, the Authority has been vested with all powers necessary and convenient to
carry out and effectuate the purposes and provisions of the Act and to exercise all powers granted to it under the Act;
and
(B) The Authority has the authority to take the actions contemplated herein under the Act; and
(C) The action to be taken by the Authority will induce the Company to develop the Project, thereby
increasing employment opportunities in the City of Troy, New York, and otherwise furthering the purposes of the
Authority as set forth in the Act; and
(D) The Project will not result in the removal of a civic, commercial, industrial, or manufacturing plant
of the Company or any other proposed occupant of the Project from one area of the State of New York (the “State”)
to another area of the State or result in the abandonment of one or more plants or facilities of the Company or any
other proposed occupant of the Project located within the State; and the Authority hereby finds that, based on the
Company’s application, to the extent occupants are relocating from one plant or facility to another, the Project is
reasonably necessary to discourage the Project occupants from removing such other plant or facility to a location
outside the State and/or is reasonably necessary to preserve the competitive position of the Project occupants in their
respective industries; and
(E) The Authority has reviewed the Negative Declaration adopted by the Planning Board and
determined the Project involves an “Unlisted Action” as said term is defined under SEQRA. The review is
uncoordinated. Based upon the review by the Authority of the Negative Declaration, related Environmental
Assessment Form (the “EAF”) and related documents delivered by the Company to the Authority and other
representations made by the Company to the Authority in connection with the Project, the Agency hereby ratifies the
SEQRA determination made by the Planning Board and the Authority further finds that (i) the Project will result in
no major impacts and, therefore, is one which may not cause significant damage to the environment; (ii) the Project
will not have a “significant effect on the environment” as such quoted terms are defined in SEQRA; and (iii) no
“environmental impact statement” as such quoted term is defined in SEQRA, need be prepared for this action. This
determination constitutes a negative declaration in connection with the Authority’s sponsorship and involvement
with the Project for purposes of SEQRA.
v
Section 2. The Authority hereby accepts the Minutes of the Public Hearing and approves the
provision of the proposed Financial Assistance to the Company, including (i) a sales and use tax exemption for
materials, supplies and rentals acquired or procured in furtherance of the Project by the Company as agent of the
Authority; (ii) mortgage recording tax exemption(s) in connection with secured financings undertaken by the
Company in furtherance of the Project; and (iii) an abatement or exemption from real property taxes levied against
the Land and Facility pursuant to a PILOT Agreement.
Section 3. Subject to the Company executing the Lease Agreement and the
delivery to the Authority of a binder, certificate or other evidence of liability
insurance policy for the Project satisfactory to the Authority, the Authority hereby
authorizes the undertaking of the Project, including the acquisition of the Land and
Existing Improvements pursuant to a Deed and related recording documents, the
form and substance of which shall be approved as to form and content by counsel
to the Authority. The Authority further authorizes the Company to undertake the
construction and equipping of the Improvements and hereby appoints the Company
as the true and lawful agent of the Authority: (i) to acquire, construct and equip the
Improvements and acquire and install the Equipment; (ii) to make, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any contracts, orders, receipts, writings and instructions,
as the stated agent for the Authority with the authority to delegate such agency, in
whole or in part, to agents, subagents, contractors, and subcontractors of such
agents and subagents and to such other parties as the Company chooses; and (iii) in
general, to do all things which may be requisite or proper for completing the
Project, all with the same powers and the same validity that the Authority could do
if acting in its own behalf.

Authority are hereby authorized, on behalf of the Authority, to execute, deliver (A) the Lease Agreement, pursuant
to which the Authority will lease its interest in the Land, Existing Improvements, Improvements and Equipment
constituting the Facility to the Company, (B) the PILOT Agreement pursuant to which the Company shall be
required to make certain PILOT Payments to the Authority for the benefit of the Affected Taxing Jurisdictions
(along with a related PILOT Mortgage Agreement), and (C) related documents, including, but not limited to, Sales
Tax Exemption Letter(s), Bills(s) of Sale and related instruments; provided the rental payments under the Lease
Agreement include payments of all costs incurred by the Authority arising out of or related to the Project and
indemnification of the Authority by the Company for actions taken by the Company and/or claims arising out of or
related to the Project.
Section 5. The Chairman, Vice Chairman and/or the Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of
the Authority are hereby further authorized, on behalf of the Authority, and to the extent necessary, to execute and
deliver any mortgage, assignment of leases and rents, security agreement, UCC-1 Financing Statements and all
documents reasonably contemplated by these resolutions or required by any lender identified by the Company (the
“Lender”) up to a maximum principal amount necessary to undertake the Project and/or finance/refinance
acquisition and Project costs, equipment and other personal property and related transactional costs, and, where
appropriate, the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Authority is hereby authorized to affix the seal of the
Authority to the Authority Documents and to attest the same, all with such changes, variations, omissions and
insertions as the Chairman, Vice Chairman and/or the Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Authority
shall approve, the execution thereof by the Chairman, Vice Chairman or the Executive Director/Chief Executive
Officer of the Authority to constitute conclusive evidence of such approval; provided, in all events, recourse against
the Authority is limited to the Authority’s interest in the Project.
vi
Section 6. The officers, employees and agents of the Authority are hereby authorized and directed
for and in the name and on behalf of the Authority to do all acts and things required and to execute and deliver all
