Lease Between City of Columbia Heights and Families Moving Forward
Property Address: 4101 Central Avenue NE
Date: July 11, 2000
Our File No. 46000-097
Dear Mr. McCuskey:
It has come to my attention that Families Moving Forward has purchased property within the
City of Minneapolis that it intends to use as its new "home". As a result thereof, it has also been
brought to my attention that Families Moving Forward would like to terminate any existing lease
hold rights to the property owned by the City of Columbia Heights and located at 4101 Central
Avenue NE established pursuant to the above referenced lease. Upon such termination, the City
would refund the "security" deposit of $20,000 pursuant to Article 17 of said lease.
Accordingly, please have a duly authorized representative of Families Moving Forward sign the
Statement of Lease Termination set forth below. I have drafted the statement with a waiver of
the 30 day notice as set forth in Article 6.2. I have done so with the assumption that Families
Moving Forward would like their deposit returned sooner than 30 days. The City also hereby
waives any requirement of receiving prior notice of termination, either in writing or verbally.
An Equal Opportunity Employer

Pursuant to Article 6.2 of the Lease between the City of Columbia Heights and Families Moving
Forward, effective immediately, Families Moving Forward hereby terminates any and all rights it
has to the property located at 4101 Central Avenue NE in the City of Columbia Heights. Upon
receipt of a copy of this letter executed by a duly authorized representative of Families Moving
Forward, the City of Columbia Heights shall refund the "security" deposit of $20,000 to Families
Moving Forward within 5 business days. Furthermore, any personal property of Families
Moving Forward shall be removed from said premises also within five business days upon the
City's receipt hereof. Both the City (landlord) and Families Moving Forward (tenant)
acknowledge that this termination and refund of said deposit will fully and completely terminate
any and all rights either party may hold pursuant to the above-referenced lease.

good faith proceed to contest any such Impositions or the validity thereof by proper legal proceedings
which shall operate to prevent the collection thereof and the sale of the Premises or any part thereof to
satisfy the same, Tenant shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Impositions so long as
such proceeding is pending and Tenant is diligently prosecuting such proceeding; provided further that
Tenant, not less than 10 days before any such Impositions shall become delinquent, shall give notice to
Landlord of Tenant's intention to contest the validity thereof.

Lease Term.

enter the Premises at all reasonable times during regular business hours and (except in the case of
emergency) upon reasonable notice to Tenant for the purpose of inspecting all or any part thereof. If
Tenant shall fail to perform any repairs, restoration or other work which Tenant is obligated to perform

commencement of the Lease Term is filed against the Premises or Landlord's or Tenant's interest
therein, other than liens arising as a result of acts of Landlord, Tenant shall cause same to be discharged
of record within 30 days after notice of such filing. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall defend the
Premises and Landlord against all suits for the enforcement of any such lien or any bond in lieu of such
lien, and Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense or liability
resulting from any such lien or suit. Should Tenant fail to so discharge any such lien, Landlord may do
so by payment, bond or otherwise on 30 days' written notice to Tenant, and the amount paid or

other lien claim filed against the Premises or any part thereof if Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its
intention so to do, diligently prosecutes any such contest, at all times effectually stays or prevents any

final judgment adjudicating or enforcing such contested mechanic's or other lien and thereafter promptly
procures and records a satisfaction and release of same.
11.3 No Consent. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to constitute the consent or
request of Landlord to any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier for the performance of any
labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement to the Premises. Notice is hereby
given that Landlord has assumed no obligation and shall not be liable or responsible for or in connection
with any labor or materials hereafter furnished to Tenant, or to any other party, whether on credit, or
otherwise, and that no mechanic's or other lien for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect
the Premises, or Landlord's reversionary interest and estate therein. Landlord shall have the right to

ARTICLE 12
Compliance with Laws
12.1 Compliance. Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, promptly remove of record any and all material violations of any applicable Law noted or filed
against the Premises, and, unless Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease as provided in
Section 6.2 hereof, Tenant shall correct all conditions constituting such material violations of Law and
shall promptly comply in all material respects with all present and future Laws and directives of all
federal, state and municipal governments, departments, commissions, boards and officers, and all
-11-
orders, rules and regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other body or bodies

event that the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, whether or not
covered by insurance, Tenant shall promptly give written notice thereof to Landlord, and, unless Tenant
exercises its right to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, Tenant shall promptly
repair, restore, replace, or rebuild the same, as nearly as may be practicable, to its condition and
character immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Such restoration, repairs, replacements or
rebuilding shall be commenced promptly and prosecuted with reasonable diligence, subject only to
unavoidable delays. The net insurance proceeds, if any, on account of such damage or destruction, and
collected by Landlord and/or Tenant shall be made available to Tenant for use in making the repairs,
restoration or replacement required under this Article 13. If such insurance money shall be insufficient
to pay the entire cost of such work, Tenant shall not be required to pay any deficiency above the
amount of any deductible under the applicable insurance policy. At any time after the completion of
such work, or in the event that Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof
before completing such work, the balance of the insurance money not theretofore used pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this section shall be paid to Landlord.

otherwise, for any loss or damage to the Building caused by fire or other peril, even if such fire or other
peril was caused in whole or in part by the negligence or other act or omission of Tenant or its agents or
employees; provided, however, that this release and waiver of subrogation shall (i) only be effective to
the extent that the loss or damage is covered by the insurance maintained by Tenant pursuant to this
Lease, (ii) not apply to the extent of any deductible applicable to such insurance, and (iii) only apply if
such insurance includes a full release from liability and waiver of subrogation privilege permitting the
release and waiver contemplated by this provision without jeopardizing the rights of Landlord to
recover under such insurance.
-12-
ARTICLE 14
Condemnation
14.1 Total Taking. If the entire Premises shall be condemned or taken through or
under the power of eminent domain, or if such a material portion of the Premises is so taken that in the
reasonable opinion of Landlord or Tenant the restoration of the remaining portions of the Premises for
the uses thereof at the time of such partial taking is economically unfeasible, this Lease and the term
hereof shall cease and terminate upon the date of the vesting of title in the condemning authority, and all
Rent, Impositions and other Additional Rent hereunder shall be apportioned to such date of termination,
and any payments theretofore made in advance by Tenant shall be refunded ratably to Tenant.
Landlord shall be entitled in such event to receive the entire award for the property so taken or
condemned which may be made in such condemnation proceeding, and Tenant shall not be entitled to
receive any portion thereof. Tenant hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord any and all claims to such
award and waives and relinquishes any fight to make any claim for an award for the value of this Lease,
or otherwise; provided, however, that Tenant shall be permitted to make separate claims for Tenant's
own trade fixtures and equipment, and for relocation expenses and allowances, to the extent available.
14.2 Partial Taking. If less than such a material portion of the Premises shall be taken
or condemned, as aforesaid, this Lease shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect, unless
Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 6.2 hereof. In the event of such
a partial condemnation, Tenant shall (unless it exercises its fight to terminate the Lease as provided in
Section 6.2 hereof) promptly make, or cause to be made, all demolition, repairs, reconstruction,
restoration, replacement or rebuilding and all other work necessary, as nearly as may be practicable, to
restore the Premises to the value, rentability, utility and condition immediately prior to such taking (with
such Alterations, if any, as may be constructed under and in accordance with the provisions of Article
10). The net proceeds of the award in respect of such partial taking or condemnation, after the
payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the collection of such award, shall be paid
over to Landlord, and shall be held in trust by Landlord or Landlord's designee and shall be made
available to Tenant for use in making the demolition, repairs, restoration or replacement required under
this Article 14. If such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of such work, Tenant shall
not be required to pay any deficiency. At any time after the completion of such work, or in the event
that Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof before completing such work,
the balance of the proceeds not theretofore used pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this section
shall be paid to Landlord.
14.3 Temporary_ Taking. If the whole or any part of Tenant's estate or interest under
this Lease shall be taken or condemned by any governmental agency or authority for its temporary use
or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate by reason thereof, and, unless Tenant exercises its fight to
terminate this Lease as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and
at the times herein specified, the Base Rent, the Impositions and all other Additional Rent, and all other
-13-
charges payable by Tenant hereunder, without any abatement or reduction thereof, and, except only to
the extent that Tenant may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the
condemning authority, Tenant shall perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants, conditions.
and obligations hereof upon the part of Tenant to be performed and observed, as though such taking
had not occurred. Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire award paid for or in connection with
such a taking, whether by way of damages, as rent, or otherwise, so long as Tenant shall not be in
default hereunder; provided, however, that if the award is paid in a lump sum, or shall be payable less
frequently than in monthly installments, the award shall be paid to and held jointly by Landlord and
Tenant, in Landlord's and Tenant's names, in an interest-bearing account with a commercial banking
organization designated by Landlord and such award shall be applied as follows:
(a) If the award shall be made in a lump sum, it shall be divided by the number
of months included in the period of such temporary use or occupancy and, so long as Tenant
shall not be in default hereunder, an amount equal to the quotient shall be paid over to Tenant
monthly; and
(b) If the award or awards shall be paid less frequently than in monthly
installments, each such installment shall be divided by the number of months to which it is
attributable and, so long as Tenant shall not be in default hereunder, an amount equal to the
quotient shall be paid over to Tenant monthly;
provided, however, that if such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the
expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain the amount of the award
attributable to the period subsequent to the expiration of the Lease Term.
14.4 Landlord's Waiver of Condemnation Right. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement, Landlord waives the right, during the Lease Term, to condemn or take through or
under the power of eminent domain Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises.
ARTICLE 15
Assignment
15.1 Assignment by Tenant. Tenant shall not, without obtaining the prior written
consent of Landlord, assign, convey, mortgage or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest
hereunder, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof. Tenant shall by notice in writing advise Landlord
of any request to assign this Lease or to sublet all or any part of the Premises. Tenant's notice shall
include all of the terms of and consideration for the proposed assignment or sublease, the proposed
effective date, the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant and a true and complete
copy of the proposed assignment or sublease and any other related agreements.
-14-
15.2 Assignment by Landlord. In the event that Landlord, or any successor owner of
the Premises, or any holder of Landlord's interest in this Lease, or any fee owner of all or any portion
of the Premises (or the owner of any interest or estate therein), shall convey or otherwise dispose of
such title, interest or estate, then all liabilities and obligations thereafter accruing or maturing on the part
of Landlord or any such successor-owner of the Premises, or former holder of Landlord's interest
under this Lease, or former fee owner of the Premises or any interest or estate therein, shall cease and
terminate, and each successor-owner of the Premises or holder of Landlord's interests under this
Lease, shall, without further agreement, be bound by Landlord's covenants and obligations, but only
during the respective periods of the ownership by such parties; and, unless Tenant exercises its right to
terminate this Lease as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, Tenant shall continue to be bound by this Lease
and shall recognize the successor to Landlord's interests as the Landlord hereunder.
ARTICLE 16
Default
16.1 Events of Default. There shall be an "Event of Default" hereunder and the
Landlord may terminate this Lease upon 60 days' notice to Tenant:
16.1.1 If Tenant shall be in default in the payment of any Rent and such default is not
cured within 15 days after written notice thereof given by Landlord; or
16.1.2 If Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants,
conditions and provisions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed (other than the
covenants for the payment of Rent) and such default is not cured within 60 days after written
notice thereof given by Landlord; or if such default shall be of such nature that it cannot be
cured completely within said 60 day period, if Tenant shall not have promptly commenced
curing such default within such period and shall not thereafter proceed with reasonable diligence
and dispatch and in good faith to remedy such default; or
16.1.3 If Tenant shall be adjudicated a bankrupt, shall make a general assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, or invoke the benefit of any insolvency act, or if a permanent
receiver or trustee in bankruptcy be appointed for Tenant's property and such appointment is
not vacated within 90 days; or
16.1.4. If, after commencement of the Lease Term, the Premises are permitted to be
physically vacant or deserted (unless as a result of an insured casualty) for a period of 60
consecutive days; or
16.1.5 If this Lease shall be mortgaged or assigned, or if the Premises, or any portion
thereof, are sublet, other than in accordance with the terms hereof.
-15-
16.2 Termination. If Landlord shall give the 60 days' notice of termination provided in
Section 16.1, then, upon the expiration of such 60 day period, this Lease shall terminate and Tenant
shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord. If this Lease shall so terminate, it shall be lawful
for Landlord, at its option, without formal demand or notice of any kind, to re-enter the Premises by
summary dispossession proceedings, or by any other lawful means, and to remove Tenant therefrom
without being liable for any damages therefor.
16.3 Remedies. In the event of termination of this Lease and re-entry by Landlord as
provided in Section 16.2, or in the event Landlord shall dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings, or
otherwise, Landlord may re-let the Premises, or any part or parts thereof on such conditions and for
such term or terms as Landlord may deem advisable, if Landlord so elects, which terms may at
Landlord's option be less than or exceed the unexpired period which would otherwise have constituted
the remainder of the Lease Term, and may grant rent concessions and other credits to the lessees
(including credits or allowances to accommodate the cost of Alterations), and may charge a greater or
lesser rental than that reserved in this Lease.
16.4 No Waiver. The remedies of Landlord and Tenant provided in this Lease are
cumulative and shall not exclude any other remedies to which either may be lawfully entitled. The failure
of either party to insist upon strict performance by the other of any term, covenant or condition herein
contained shall not be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition by the non-objecting party for the
future. No waiver or change or any provision of this Lease shall be effective unless contained in a
written instrument signed by both Landlord and Tenant.
ARTICLE 17
Security
17.1 Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on or before July 11, 2000,
the sum of $20,000 (the "Security Deposit"), as security for the full and faithful performance and

may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit, to the extent required
for the payment of any such Rent, Impositions and other charges as to which such Tenant is
then in default, or to reimburse Landlord for any sum which Landlord may reasonably be
required to expend by reason of such default or Event of Default. In the event that Tenant shall
-16-
fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this
Lease, the Security Deposit, without interest, shall be returned to Tenant within 10 days after
the expiration of the Lease Term and delivery of possession of the Premises to Landlord.
17.2.2 In the event that Tenant exercises its option under Section 10.3.7(b) hereof to
leave the Security Deposit on deposit with Landlord in lieu of removal of the applicable
Alteration and repair of the Premises, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part
of the Security Deposit to effect such removal and repair; provided, however, that: (a) if such
removal and repair is not effected by Landlord within 180 days after the end of the Lease
Term, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit, without interest, to Tenant; (b) if such
removal and repair is effected by Landlord within 180 days after the end of the Lease Term but
the cost thereof is less than the amount of the Security Deposit, the amount by which the
Security Deposit exceeds such cost, without interest, shall be returned to Tenant; and (c) if such
removal and repair is effected by Landlord within 180 days after the end of the Lease Term but
the cost thereof exceeds the amount of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, upon demand by
Landlord, pay to Landlord the amount by which such cost exceeded the amount of the Security
Deposit.

period, commence and thereafter diligently proceed to cure such default), and for the purpose thereof
may enter upon the Premises, and upon demand (unless Tenant exercises its right to terminate this
Lease as provided in Section 6.2 hereof) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable and
necessary expenses incurred to effect such cure.
18.3 No Eviction. No entry of Landlord or its employees, agents or representatives,
or by any other party at the direction of Landlord, shall ever be construed or interpreted as an ouster of

ARTICLE 20
Miscellaneous
20.1 Quiet Possession. Landlord covenants that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly
enjoy the Premises for as long as Tenant performs and observes its obligations hereunder.
20.2 Holding Over by Tenant. No holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the
Lease Term shall operate to extend the Lease Term. In the event of any unauthorized holding over,
Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any other lessee to whom Landlord
may have leased all or any part of the Premises effective upon the termination of this Lease.
20.3 Binding Effect. The terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein
contained shall run with the Premises and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective representatives, successors and assigns; it being understood, however, that neither the
provisions of this Section 20.3, nor any other provision in this Lease contained, shall be deemed to
authorize the assignment of this Lease by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, as
herein required.
20.4 Captions. The captions of this Lease are for convenience and ease of reference
only, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Lease, nor in any way affect this
Lease, and shall be disregarded in the interpretation hereof.
20.5 Severable. If any provisions of this Lease shall be declared invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder hereof shall remain unaffected thereby and shall continue in full force and
effect.
20.6 Interpretation. It is acknowledged that in preparation of this Lease,
indistinguishable contributions have been made by representatives of both Landlord and Tenant, and
that Landlord and Tenant each waives any and all rights, either at law or in equity, to have this Lease,
or any term or provision herein contained, construed in favor of either party over the other by reason of
who drafted the same.
-19-
20.7 Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire and only agreement between
the parties hereto with respect to the Premises; and no oral statements, agreements or representations
not embodied in this Lease shall have any force or effect. This Lease shall not be modified or amended
in any manner except in writing, by instrument executed by both parties.
20.8 Interpretation of Terms. All personal pronouns used in this agreement shall
include the other genders whether used in the masculine or feminine or neuter gender, and the singular
shall include the plural whenever and as often as may be appropriate.
20.9 No Partnership. This Lease does not create the relationship of principal and
agent or of partnership or of joint venture or of any association between Landlord and Tenant, the sole
relationship between the parties being that of landlord and tenant. The laws of the State of Minnesota
shall govern the validity, performance and enfomement of this Lease.
20.10. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that
no other realtors, brokers or agents were involved in the negotiation and execution of this Lease.
