ATTA CHMENT B I
Section 469.177, Subd. 8. Assessment agreements. An authority may, upon
entering into a development or redevelopment agreement pursuant to section
469.176, subdivision 5, enter into a written assessment agreement in recordable form
with the developer or redeveloper of property within the tax increment financing
district which establishes a minimum market value of the land and completed
improvements to be constructed thereon until a specified termination date, which
date shall be not later than the date upon which tax increment will no longer be
remitted to the authority pursuant to section 469.176, subdivision 1. The
assessment agreement shall be presented to the county assessor, or city assessor
having the powers of the county assessor, of the jurisdiction in which the tax
increment financing district is located. The assessor shall review the plans and
specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value
previously assigned to the land upon which the improvements are to be constructed
and, so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement
appears, in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, shall execute
the following certification upon such agreement:
The undersigned assessor, being legally responsible for the assessment
of the above - described property upon completion of the improvements
to be constructed thereon, hereby certifies that the market value
assigned to such land and improvements upon completion shall not be
less than $
Upon transfer of title of the land to be developed or redeveloped from the
authority to the developer or redeveloper, such assessment agreement, together
with a copy of this subdivision, shall be filed for record and recorded in the office
of the county recorder or filed in the office of the registrar of titles of the county
where the real estate or any part thereof is situated. Upon completion of the
improvements by the developer or redeveloper, the assessor shall value the property
pursuant to section 273. 11, except that the market value assigned thereto shall not
be less than the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement.
Nothing herein shall limit the discretion of the assessor to assign a market value to
the property in excess of the minimum market value contained in the assessment
agreement nor prohibit the developer or redeveloper from seeking, through the
exercise of administrative and legal remedies, a reduction in market value for
property tax purposes; provided, however, that the developer or redeveloper shall
not seek, nor shall the city assessor, the county assessor, the county auditor, any
board of review, any board of equalization, the commissioner of revenue or any court
of this state grant a reduction of the market value below the minimum market value
contained in the assessment agreement during the term of the agreement filed of
record regardless of actual market values which may result from incomplete
construction of improvements, destruction or diminution by any cause, insured or
uninsured, except in the case of acquisition or reacquisition of the property by a
public entity. Recording or filing of an assessment agreement complying with the
terms of this subdivision shall constitute notice of the agreement to any subsequent
purchaser or encumbrancer of the land or any part thereof, whether voluntary or
involuntary, and shall be binding upon them.

COUNTY OF CARVER
THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN
LIMITED REVENUE TAX INCREMENT NOTE
The City of Chanhassen (the "City ") , hereby acknowledges itself to be
indebted and, for value received, promises to pay to the order of Paulstarr
Enterprises, Inc. , a Minnesota corporation, or its assigns, ( "Paulstarr Enterprises,
Inc. "), solely from the Available Tax Increment generated by the Redevelopment
Property and Minimum Improvements, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter
provided, the principal amount of this Note, being Seventy -three Thousand Nine
Hundred Sixty -nine Dollars ($73,969), on the Payment Dates (as hereinafter
defined) or such greater amount, if any, which the City is required to pay in
accordance with the terms of this Note.
Each payment on this Note is payable in any coin or currency of the United
States of America which on the date of such payment is legal tender for public and
private debts and shall be made by check or draft made payable to Paulstarr
Enterprises, Inc. and mailed to Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. at its postal address
within the United States which shall be designated from time to time by Paulstarr
Enterprises, Inc.
The Note is a special and limited obligation and not a general obligation of the
City, which has been issued by the City to aid in financing a "project ", as defined
in Minnesota Statutes Section 469.174, of the City consisting generally of defraying
certain capital and administration costs incurred and to be incurred by the City
within and for the benefit of its Redevelopment Project ( the "Project ") , and Tax
Increment Financing District (the "District ") .
EXCEPT AS TO THE OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS FROM TAX
INCREMENT, THE NOTE IS NOT A DEBT OF THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN, OR THE
STATE OF MINNESOTA (THE "STATE "), AND NEITHER THE CITY OF
CHANHASSEN, THE STATE NOR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF SHALL
BE LIABLE ON THE NOTE, NOR SHALL THE NOTE BE PAYABLE OUT OF ANY
FUNDS OR PROPERTIES OTHER THAN AVAILABLE TAX INCREMENT, AS DEFINED
BELOW.
Any payments on this Note which are due on any Payment Date shall be
payable solely from and only to the extent that the City shall have received as of
such Payment Date "Available Tax Increment." For the purpose of this Note,
"Available Tax Increment" means any Tax Increment generated in the years 1997
through 1999 inclusive (or such longer time as provided for in this Note) and
received during the six (6) month period preceding a Payment Date, after deducting
therefrom the following amounts:
(i) any payment made to Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. of amounts due
hereunder with respect to previous Payment Dates, and
JBD87630
CH130 -42 D -1
' (ii) any amounts used to pay any amount pledged for the payment of
tax increment general obligation bonds issued by the City prior to the date
' hereof.
(iii) any amounts needed to make payments to a school district
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 469.177, subd. 10.
For the purposes of this Note, "Tax Increment" means the portion of the real
property taxes generated with respect to the said Redevelopment Property and
Minimum Improvements but exclusive of Tax Increment generated with respect to
improvements located on the Redevelopment Property, prior to April 1, 1995 which
is remitted to the City commencing in 1997, as Tax Increment pursuant to Minnesota
' Statutes § 469.174- 469.179.
For purposes of this Note, a "Payment Date" shall mean each of the Scheduled
Payment Dates set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, and each additional Payment
Date required in connection with any extension of the term of this Note as set forth
below, because of changes made in Minnesota Statutes §§ 469.174- 469.179.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, on each of the Payment
Dates, the City shall pay to Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. all of the Available Tax
Increment up to the amount of the Scheduled Payment; but in no event shall the
aggregate of all such payments be in excess of $73,969. To the extent that on any
Payment Date the City is unable to make a payment from Available Tax Increment at
' equal to the Scheduled Payment due on such date as a result of having received, as
of such date, insufficient Available Tax Increment, such failure shall not constitute
a default under this Note and, except as provided below, the City shall have no
' obligation under this Note, or otherwise, to subsequently pay any such deficiency.
If, and only if, on any Payment Date there is insufficient Available Tax Increment
to make the Scheduled Payment due on such date and such insufficiency is a result
of changes made in Minnesota Statutes § § 469.174- 469.179 subsequent to the date of
' the Contract for Private Redevelopment dated between the City and
Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. ( the "Redevelopment Contract ") , the amount of such
deficiency in the Scheduled Payment shall be deferred and shall be paid on the next
' Payment Date on which the City has Available Tax Increment in excess of the amount
necessary to make the Scheduled Payment due on such Payment Date, and if such
deficiency has not been paid in full by the final Scheduled Payment Date set forth
on Exhibit A attached hereto, then the term of this Note shall be extended to include
additional successive Payment Dates on which any Available Tax Increment will be
applied to the payment of such accrued and unpaid deficiencies in the Scheduled
Payments to be made hereunder. In no case, however, shall the term of this Note and
' the City's obligation to make payments hereunder, extend beyond the last date upon
which the City receives tax increment based upon construction of the Minimum
Improvements or the expiration of the Tax Increment District, whichever comes
' first.
This Note shall not be payable from or constitute a charge upon any funds of
the City of Chanhassen, and the City shall not be subject to any liability hereon or
be deemed to have obligated itself to pay hereon from any funds except the Available
Tax Increment, and then only to the extent and in the manner herein specified.
' Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. shall never have or be deemed to have the right
to compel any exercise of any taxing power of the City or of any other public body,
and neither the City nor any council member, officer, employee or agent of the City,
JBD87630
' CB130 -42 D -2
nor any person executing or registering this Note shall be liable personally hereon
by reason of the issuance or registration hereof or otherwise.
This Note shall not be transferable or assignable, in whole or in part, by
Paulstarr Enterprises, Inc. without the prior written consent of the City.
This Note is given subject to the limitation contained in Section 5.5 of the
Redevelopment Contract.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all acts, conditions, and things
required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to have
happened, and to be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Note have
been done, have happened, and have been performed in regular and due form, time,
and manner as required by law; and that this Note, together with all other
indebtedness of the City outstanding on the date hereof and on the date of its actual
issuance and delivery, does not cause the indebtedness of the City to exceed any
constitutional or statutory limitation thereon.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the city council or the City of Chanhassen has caused
this Note to be executed by the manual signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager
of the City and has caused this Note to be dated as of
