THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 2.D-t1'day of ~'

AND FOR THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, a public body corporate and po 'tic
established pursuant to Laws of Minnesota 1947, Chapter 487, as amended, being
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 462.411 - 462.711, and having its principal office at
590-40th Avenue Northeast, Columbia Heights, Minnesota, its successors and
assigns (hereinafter referred to as the "Agency"), and TERRY EVENSON, an
individual residing in the State of Minnesota and with his business address at 3550
Lexington Avenue North, Suite 104, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55112 (hereinafter
referred to as the "Redeveloper").
WITNESSETH THAT, In consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto recite and agree as follows:
Recitals
The Agency and Redeveloper have heretofore entered into a certain
Contract for Private Redevelopment, dated June 1, 1981 (the "Redevelopme'nt
Contract"), in connection with a redevelopment project in the City of Columbia
Heights, Minnesota, known as the Downtown C.B.D. Revitalization Project
(hereinafter referred to as the "Project"). '
Pursuant to the Redevelopment Contract the parties have, inter alia, agreed
that the Agency shall construct a 369-stall parking ramp (the "Parking Ramp")
upon the land described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (said
land is hereinafter referred to as the "Parking Land" and the Parking Land and
Parking Ramp are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parking Property"),
together with an open pedestrian walkway (the "Pedestrian Walkway") connecting
said Parking Ramp to the adjacent improvements to be constructed by
Redeveloper, upon the land described in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part
hereof (said land is hereinafter referred to as the "Walkway Land" and the Walkway
Land and Pedestrian Walkway are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Walkway Property").
Also pursuant to said Redevelopment Contract the Redeveloper has agreed
to build upon certain lands adjacent to the site of the Parking Property and
Walkway Property certain improvements, designated therein as the "Minimum
Improvements."
The parties have further agreed pursuant to said Redevelopment Contract
that the Agency and the Redeveloper shall agree upon the terms of a management
agreement, to be entered into between the parties upon completion of construction
of said Parking Ramp and Pedestrian Walkway.
In order to offer adequate parking space for the tenants, business invitees,
licensees, agents, employees, guests, or other persons lawfully having access to the
office building which is a part of the Minimum Improvements as defined in the
1
Reodevelopment Contract, it is necessary for the Agency to provide for the
construction of the Parking Ramp and Pedestrian Walkway, to provide for the
management of the Parking Ramp, and to provide for the lease of the Pedestrian
Walkway to the Redeveloper.
The Agency and the Redeveloper are desirous that the Pedestrian Walkway
to be constructed by the Agency as an open plaza area, and the Parking Ramp, and
any other elements of the Parking Property and Walkway Property shall be
operated and maintained in a fashion satisfactory to both parties.
Each of the parties has authority to enter into this Management Agreement
for Parking Facilities and Lease of the Plaza Property and has taken all actions
necessary to authorize its execution and delivery.

PART I
LEASE OF THE PLAZA PROPERTY
ARTICLE I
Demise of Walkway Property
Section 1.01. Demise of Walkway Property. The Agency agrees to and
hereby does lease to Redeveloper, and Redeveloper agrees to and hereby does take
and accept from the Agency, the Walkway Property situated in the County of
Anoka, State of Minnesota, all as more fully described in Exhibit B attached hereto
and made a part hereof, together with all buildings, structures and other
improvements now or hereafter constructed, erected and made thereon or
thereunder which constitute the Pedestrian Walkway, upon and subject to the
terms, covenants and conditions herein expressed, and sUbject to the easements,
encumbrances, rights and other matters, if any, which are set forth in Exhibit B
hereto.
ARTICLE II
Term and Rental
Section 2.01. Term. To have and to hold the Walkway Property unto the
Redeveloper, for an initial term (the "Term") of ninety-nine (99) Leasehold Years
beginning on the 1st day of December, 1982, and continuing from such date of
beginning through the 30th day of November, 2081. Leasehold Year means a period
of twelve (12) consecutive months beginning on the date of commencement of the
Term or beginning on any anniversary thereof.
Section 2.02. Rental Payments. The Redeveloper shall pay to the Agency as
rent for the use and occupancy of the Walkway Property the sum of One Dollar
($1.00) per Leasehold Year, payable in advance, on or before the 1st day of each
and every Leasehold Year of the Term, commencing on the first day of the Term
hereof, and, thereafter, on each anniversary of said date.
Section 2.03. Sale to Redeveloper. If, during the term of this Agreement,
the Agency is desirous of selling its ownership interest in the Walkway Property, or
any portion thereof, whether or not upon prescribed conditions, and the Agency can
lawfully sell the same, the Agency shall notify the Redeveloper in writing of its
interest in such a sale. The Redeveloper may elect to negotiate with the Agency
for the purchase of the Walkway Property by delivering written notice to the
Agency of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the above-
referenced written notice from the Agency, in which event the Redeveloper and
Agency agree to negotiate the terms thereof in good faith with a view to
consummating a sale, if reasonably possible. This Section 2.03 shall not apply to a
conveyance of the Walkway Property to the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota
(the "City) or assignment of this Agreement from the Agency to the City.
Section 2.04. First Refusal Rig-hts. Before the Agency transfers the title to
all or any part of the Walkway Property to a third party, it shall, in writing to the
3
Redeveloper, offer to transfer all or such part thereof to the Redeveloper on the
same terms under which the Walkway Property or such part thereof would be
transferred to such third party. If, within sixty (60) days after the Redeveloper
receives such offer in writing, it notifies the Agency of its desire to purchase the
Walkway Property or such part thereof on such terms, then the Agency shall sell to
the Redeveloper the Walkway Property or such part thereof and shall convey title
thereto to the Redeveloper, all on such terms. If the Redeveloper does not notify
the Agency within said sixty (60) days that it desires to purchase pursuant hereto,
the Agency may sell to such third party on the terms offered to the Redeveloper,
but if any change is made in such terms the Walkway Property or such part thereof
as would be transferred shall again be offered to the Redeveloper for the period
and in the manner herein stated and on such changed terms. If the consideration
which the Agency is prepared to accept for the transfer of title to the Walkway
Property or such part thereof to a third party is of a nature that the Redeveloper
generally could not be expected to duplicate it, then that consideration will be
converted into a cash equivalent and the Redeveloper will be given the opportunity
to purchase the Walkway Property or such part thereof, based on that cash
equivalent. This right of first refusal shall not apply to any transfers between the
Agency and the Redeveloper or the Agency and the City, but shall apply to
transfers by the Agency to any other party or parties. This right of first refusal
shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of the Agency, and shall continue in
force as to all such successors and assigns, even though it is not exercisable or
exercised as to anyone or more transfers. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no such offer to transfer need be made by the Agency to the
Redeveloper while an Event of Default by Redeveloper exists und~r this
Agreement. Any part (or all) of the Walkway Property transferred to a third party
after offering the same to the Redeveloper pursuant hereto shall yet be subject to
this Agreement. This Section 2.04 shall not apply to a conveyance of the Walkway
Property to the City or assignment of this Agreement from the Agency to the City.

enjoyment of the Pedestrian Walkway by the general public and shall not restrict
the public access thereto, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as the
Redeveloper shall establish for such access, use and enjoyment. The Redeveloper

during the proceedings; (iv) the proceedings shall be prosecuted with 'all due
diligence; and (v) upon final judgment in or settlement of the proceedings, the

repairs or replacements set forth in the notice from the Agency. If Redeveloper so
objects, and if the Agency and Redeveloper cannot agree on the need for, extent of
or timing of any structural repairs or replacements, then Redeveloper and Agency
shall each select a professional engineer registered and licensed in Minnesota, and
the two engineers shall select a third engineer registered and licensed in Minnesota

replacements.

shall have the right to do nonstructural remodeling of the Pedestrian Walkway, and
to make nonstructural substitutions, additions, modifications, deletions and
improvements to the Walkway Property, from time to time as it, in its discretion,

purposes of the Walkway Property shall not be changed. The costs of such
remodeling, substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements shall be paid
by Redeveloper, and such substitutions, additions and improvements shall be
included under the terms of this Agreement as part of the Walkway Property and

structural remodeling or make any structural alterations, modifications or
additions in or to the Walkway Property without the prior written approval of the
Agency and then only in accordance with such technical specifications, practices
and other conditions as may be reasonably required by the City Engineer. All
structural alterations, modifications or additions in and to the Walkway Property
shall be deemed a part of the Walkway Property and become the property of the
Agency, in the absence of agreement 'to the contrary or unless the Agency shall
require, at the time of granting its approval, that Redeveloper shall remove the
same at the end of the Leasehold Term and restore the Leased Premises to its prior
originally existing condition. In any event, as between Agency and Redeveloper,
Redeveloper shall retain all available tax credits, deductions and benefits thereof.

Unavoidable Delays, shall repair promptly any damage to the Walkway Property
caused by the negligence or intentional act of its employees or agents acting within
the scope of their employment or performance of their duties on behalf of the
Redeveloper.
Section 4.05. Repairs and Replacements Done by Agency. If the Agency is
legally required to make or do any repairs or replacements to the Walkway
Property which the Redeveloper is obligated, by this Agreement, to make or do,
then the Redeveloper agrees that the Agency may make or do such repairs or
replacements. If repair or replacement is done or caused to be done by Agency
pursuant hereto, (i) it shall be at least equal in quality to the original and shall be
done in a workmanlike manner, (ii) the Redeveloper shall have the right to approve
the plans and specifications for the work before approval thereof by Agency, to
inspect and approve the work before acceptance by Agency, to inspect and approve
the work when completed before final acceptance by Agency, and to approve work
schedules to avoid unnecessary interference with the operations of the Walkway
Property and Minimum Improvements, (iii) the Redeveloper shall provide the
Agency with monies sufficient to pay the reasonable cost of such repair or
replacement, and (iv) the Agency shall cause such repair and/or replacement to be
promptly done, subject to Unavoidable Delays. If the Agency is ready and willing to
approve and accept any part of the work, or to give its final acceptance of the
work, but the Redeveloper withholds its approval and acceptance, then the Agency
agrees not to give its approval and acceptance until the Redeveloper also agrees to
give its approval and acceptance. The Redeveloper agrees to hold the Agency
harmless from any loss, cost, damage or expense, including mechanics' liens, arising
out of the withholding by the Agency of its approval and acceptance due to the
Redeveloper's withholding of its approval and acceptance.

or replace any part of the Walkway Property damaged by the negligence or
intentional act of its officers, employees, agents or contractors acting within the
scope of their employment or performance of their duties on behalf of the Agency.
Agency shall use its best efforts to ensure that repairs, replacements and
restoration done by Agency pursuant to this section, will be done with due diligence
and in such manner as to cause as little interference as possible with the operation
of the Walkway Property and Minimum Improvements.

property taxes contained in the Redevelopment Contract with the Agency and the
provisions of any Assessment Agreement entered into by the Redeveloper with the
City Assessor or other governmental or assessing authority.
The Redeveloper shall pay, before they become delinquent, all installments

Redevelopment Contract and any Assessment Agreement between the Redeveloper
and the City Assessor or other governmental or assessing authority, the
Redeveloper may contest, in good faith and with due diligence, real estate taxes,
special assessments, utility charges and other governmental charges after first
notifying the Agency in writing of its intention to do so and furnishing the Agency
a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the Agency to protect the
Agency against any risk, claim or damages arising out of such contest, unless the
Agency shall reasonably determine that by such contest, and notwithstanding such
security, the interest of the Agency, as owner, in the Walkway Property will be
materially endangered or materially adversely affected.
The Redeveloper shall not be in default under this Agreement for
nonpayment of any tax, assessment or charge hereunder while such payment is
being contested by the Redeveloper pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI

Section 6.01. Insurance. The Redeveloper, at its sole expense, shall keep the
Walkway Property insured against direct damage covering all risk of loss, including
but not limited to fire, extended damage perils, vandalism and malicious mischief,
and collapse, on a replacement cost basis in an amount equivalent to the full
insurable value thereof. Full insurable value shall include the actual replacement
cost of the improvements, architectural and engineering fees, without deduction
for depreciation. The policy shall be subject to a no co-insurance clause and shall
contain no deduction provision.
The Agency and the Redeveloper shall be named as insured parties as their
interest may appear, and the policy shall provide that it may not be canceled
without at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the Agency and the Redeveloper.

destruction as is reasonably possible.
(b) If the Walkway Property is to be restored pursuant to paragraph (a)
above, the Redeveloper shall promptly proceed to repair and restore the same to
substantially the same condition as existed before such casualty and shall receive
the insurance proceeds for such purpose and shall pay all costs incurred therefor
from the insurance proceeds. Any repairs or replacements undertaken pursuant to
this Section 6.02 shall be at least equal in quality to the original and shall be done
in a workmanlike manner. The Redeveloper shall be entitled to retain all insurance
proceeds paid as a result of such casualty in excess of the cost to repair and
restore. Neither the Agency nor the Redeveloper shall be obligated to provide any
funds or expend any monies from any source for the purpose of such restoration and
repair, except amounts received and available for such purpose from insurance
proceeds.
9
(c) If the insurance proceeds paid as a result of such casualty exceed the
sum of $5,000.00, the full amount thereof shall be held by an escrow agent
mutually satisfactory to the Agency and the Redeveloper and shall be disbursed in
connection with repair and restoration in a manner reasonably agreed upon by the
Agency and the Redeveloper suitable to insure that the funds will be used for such
purposes and that proper and full payment is made therefor.
Section 6.03. Liability Insurance. The Redeveloper shall procure and
maintain continuously in effect, during the term of this Agreement, policies of
insurance of the kind and minimum amount as follows: Comprehensive general
liability insurance in amounts of not less than (a) $300,000 for injury to or death of
anyone person; (b) $1,000,000 for injuries or deaths arising in anyone occurrence;
and (c) $1,000,000 for property damage in anyone occurrence; occurring on the
Walkway Property or arising out of the use thereof, but the policies also may have
annual aggregate limits of not less than $1,000,000. The Agency shall be an insured
party and the policy shall provide that the policy may not be cancelled without at
least thirty (30) days prior notice to the Agency and the Redeveloper.
Section 6.04. General Requirements. All insurance required under this
Article shall be placed and maintained with responsible insurance companies
licensed to do business in the State of Minnesota. The Redeveloper shall furnish
the Agency with a certificate or certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages
required and that such insurance is in force and effect. The insurance required
may be provided by a blanket insurance policy or policies. Each policy of insurance
shall contain a provision that no act or omission of the Agency or the Redeveloper
shall effect or limit the obligation of insurer to pay the amount of any loss
sustained and shall contain the standard form of waiver of subrogation by the
insurer. The Redeveloper and the Agency each hereby waives any and all rights of
recovery against the other, and against the officers and employees of the other, for
loss or damage to the Walkway Property, to the extent of any insurance proceeds
realized as a result of such loss or damage.
ARTICLE VII
Eminent Domain
Section 7.01. Total Taking. If, during the term of this Agreement, the
entire Walkway Property shall be acquired and taken as a result of the exercise of
the power of eminent domain, or if less than the entire Walkway Property shall be
acquired and taken but, in the reasonable judgment of the Redeveloper, the
remainder thereof is no longer useful for its intended purposes or the Pedestrian

the same was originally constructed, then, without the further act or deed of any
party hereto, this Part I of this Agreement shall terminate as of the date the
