Section 3.8 Business Subsidies Act. (1) In order to satisfy the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 (the "Business Subsidies Act"), the Developer acknowledges and agrees that the amount of the "Business Subsidy" granted to the Developer under this Agreement is the value of the Tax Abatement Property $201,520, and that the Business Subsidy is needed because the Project is not sufficiently feasible for the Developer to undertake without the Business Subsidy. The public purpose of the Business Subsidy is to develop new jobs within the City and to increase the tax base in the City. The Developer agrees that it will meet the following goals (the "Goals"): It will create at least__ full-time equivalent jobs in connection with the development of the Project at a direct hourly wage of at least $__ per hour within two years from the "Benefit Date", which is the date the Project is completed.

If the Goals are met in part, the Developer will repay a portion of the Business Subsidy (plus Interest) determined by multiplying the Business Subsidy by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of jobs in the Goals which were not created at the wage level set forth above and the denominator of which is __ (i.e. number of jobs set forth in the Goals). (3) The Developer agrees to (i) report its progress on achieving the Goals to the City until the later of the date the Goals are met or two years from the Benefit Date, or, if the Goals are not met, until the date the Business Subsidy is repaid, (ii) include in the report the information required in Subdivision 7 of the Jobs Act on forms developed by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, and (iii) send completed reports to the City. The Developer agrees to file these reports no later than March 1 of each year commencing March 1, 2005, and within 30 days after the deadline for meeting the Goals. The City agrees that 1623869vl 7
