4 <br />Development Assistance Agreement is subordinate to the FBER Mortgages prior to the issuance <br />of a certificate of occupancy by the City, and any contractual right to collect delinquent real estate <br />taxes from FBER under Section 4.3 (Right to Collect Delinquent Taxes) is subordinate to the <br />FBER Mortgages (but no such subordination shall impact the normal City or county process for <br />collecting delinquent real estate taxes). FBER may also sell the Property following a foreclosure <br />of the FBER Mortgages notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2 (Prohibition against <br />Transfer of Property and Assignment of Agreement). <br />A foreclosure of the FBER Mortgages prior to the delivery of a certificate of occupancy by <br />the City shall result in the termination of all rights of the City under any of the foregoing <br />Development Assistance Agreement, DAA Mortgage, Deed and Assessment Agreement, but the <br />DAA Guaranties shall survive such foreclosure. In addition, in the event of such foreclosure, FBER <br />shall utilize efforts to secure a new owner whose use of the property complies with Minnesota <br />Statutes, Section 469.174 through 469.1794 (the “TIF Act”) to allow the City to collect tax <br />increments from the property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement <br />shall in no way limit any of the City’s rights and remedies under the DAA Documents prior to an <br />event of default under the FBER Loans or the City’s remedies of specific performance or injunctive <br />relief under the Development Assistance Agreement. <br />3. Construction Completion. The City acknowledges and agrees that neither FBER, <br />nor its successors or assigns, shall be obligated to construct or complete the Project; provided, <br />however, that, (i) if FBER or its successors or assigns acquire the Property by foreclosure or by a <br />conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, the City acknowledges and agrees that, upon substantial <br />completion of the Project pursuant to and in accordance with the Development Assistance <br />Agreement, FBER shall be entitled to seek from the City a Certificate of Completion for the Project <br />in accordance with the terms set forth in the Development Assistance Agreement and (ii) by its <br />acceptance hereof, FBER acknowledges and agrees that the City shall have no obligation to make <br />any Tax Increment available to the Borrowers or their successors and/or assigns pursuant to the <br />terms of the Development Assistance Agreement unless all of the terms, covenants and conditions <br />related to the Tax Increment as set forth in the Development Assistance Agreement have been <br />satisfied or waived. <br />4. Entire Agreement; Modifications. The City acknowledges that FBER is not a party <br />to the Development Assistance Agreement, that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement <br />between the City and FBER with respect to the Development Assistance Agreement, and that this <br />Agreement may be amended only in a writing executed by the City and FBER. <br />5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto <br />and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and <br />their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of the FBER Mortgages <br />and/or the DAA Mortgage. <br />6. Notices. Any notices and other communications permitted or required by the <br />provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given <br />or served by (i) personal delivery, (ii) depositing the same with the United States Postal Service, <br />or any official successor thereto, designated as Registered or Certified Mail, Return Receipt <br />Requested, bearing adequate postage, (iii) depositing the same with a reputable private courier or <br />Page 222 of 327
