Recitals. 1.01. It has been proposed that the Authority establish Redevelopment Project Area No. 6 and adopt a Project Plan (the "Project Plan") therefor pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 through 469.047, all inclusive, as amended, all as reflected in the Project Plan,and presented for the Authority's consideration. 1.02. Further, it has been proposed that the Authority establish Tax Increment Financing District No. 20 (the "TIF District") and adopt a Tax Increment Plan (the "TIF Plan") therefor(the Project Plan and the TIF Plan are referred to collectively herein as the "Plans"), all pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, all inclusive, as amended, all as reflected in the TIF Plan, and presented for the Authority's consideration. 1.03. The Authority has investigated the facts relating to the Plans and has caused the Plans to be prepared. 1.04. The Authority has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to adoption and approval of the proposed Plans, including, but not limited to, notification to Hennepin County and Independent School District No. 272, and the holding of a public hearing upon published notice as required by law. 1.05. Certain written reports (the "Reports") relating to the Plans and to the activities contemplated therein have heretofore been prepared by staff and consultants and submitted to the Authority and/or made a part of the Authority or City files and proceedings on the Plans. The Reports include data,information and/or substantiation constituting or relating to the basis for the other findings and determinations made in this resolution. The Authority hereby confirms, ratifies and adopts the Reports,which are hereby incorporated into and made as fully a part of this resolution to the same extent as if set forth in full herein. Section 2. Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Plans. 2.01. The Authority hereby finds that the Plans, are intended and, in the judgment of this Board,the effect of such actions will be,to provide an impetus for development in the public 1 purpose and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Plans, which are hereby incorporated herein. Section 3. Findings for the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No.20. 3.01. The TIF District,based on the information in the TIF Plan,representations of the developer, and other information presented to the Authority, contains the following conditions, which are reasonably distributed throughout the TIF District: Parcels comprising at least 70% of the area of the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements, and more than 50% of the buildings (not including outbuildings) are structurally substandard requiring substantial renovation or clearance. The Authority finds that the foregoing conditions exist in the TIF District as a whole. Therefore, the Authority hereby finds that the TIF District qualifies as a "redevelopment district" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,Subdivision 10. 3.02. In addition, the Authority has been advised that the Project includes the redevelopment of a portion of the former Physical Electronics building in the City, including demolition thereof and asbestos abatement with respect thereto, and construction of a new 91,000 square-foot,one-story office building. 3.03. The Authority further finds that the intended development of the property involved,the proposed development would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan,that the Plans conform to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; and that the Plans will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the redevelopment or development of the TIF District by private enterprise. 3.04. The Authority further finds, declares and determines that the Authority made the above findings stated in this Section and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each determination in writing,attached hereto as Exhibit A. Section 4. Public Purpose 4.01. The adoption of the Plans conforms in all respects to the requirements of Minnesota state law and will help encourage, ensure and facilitate development by the private sector of projects used or useful for producing or processing products of agriculture, to provide employment opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose. Section 5. Approval and Adoption of the Plans and Development Agreement;Filing. 5.01. The Plans,as presented to the Authority on this date,including without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the Hennepin County Administrator. 2 5.02. The staff of the Authority, the Authority's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with the implementation of the Plans and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this Authority for its consideration all further plans,resolutions,documents and contracts necessary for this purpose. 5.03 The staff of the Authority is authorized and directed to request that the County Auditor of Hennepin County certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District, as described in the Plans, and to certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased; and the City is authorized and directed to forthwith transmit this request to the County Auditor in such form and content as the Auditor may specify,together with a list of all properties within the TIF District, for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding the adoption of this resolution. 5.04. The Authority is further authorized and directed to file a copy of the Plans with the Commissioner of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.175,Subd.4a. 5.05. The Authority hereby approves the Development Agreement between the Authority and United Properties, Inc. as contemplated by the TIF Plan in substantially the form presented to and on file with the Authority. Adopted by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie,Minnesota,this I"day of August. 2006. Ron Case,Acting Chairperson ATTEST: SEAL Scott H.Neal, Executive Director 3 EXHIBIT A RESOLUTION NO.2006- The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No.20 as required pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3 are as follows: 1. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing District No. 20 is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10. Tax Increment Financing District No. 20 is a contiguous geographic area within Redevelopment Project Area No. 6, delineated in the TIF Plan, for the purpose of financing redevelopment and economic development in the City through the use of tax increment. The TIF District consists of a property in Redevelopment Project Area No. 6, which is in the public interest because it will facilitate the redevelopment of the site, including asbestos abatement, and construction of a 91,000 square-foot, one- story office building, which will increase employment in the state, and preserve and enhance the tax base of the state.The factual basis for this finding is also set forth in the LHB,Inc.Report of Inspection Procedures and Results for Determining Qualifications of a Tax Increment Financing District as a Redevelopment District dated September 28, 2005, the Springsted Incorporated Memoradum United Properties Request for Financial Assistance—Final Internal Rate of Return Analysis dated July 25,2006, and the Springsted Incorporated Memoradum United Properties Financing and Development Agreement dated July 25,2006 attached hereto. 2. Finding that the development, in the opinion of the Authority, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of Tax Increment Financing District No. 20 permitted by the TIF Plan. The proposed development, in the opinion of the Authority, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by the fact that the redevelopment and development proposed in this TIF Plan contemplates extraordinary costs associated with the redevelopment of the site including asbestos abatement. The costs of site improvements and utilities makes development of this site infeasible without financial assistance. The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan: The Authority supported this finding on the grounds that the costs of site improvements and utilities add to the total redevelopment cost. Historically, site development costs in this area have made development infeasible without tax increment assistance. Further, United Properties, Inc., the developer, has stated that the Project is not feasible without this assistance. Therefore, the Authority reasonably determines that no other development of similar scope is anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development. The factual basis for this finding is also set forth in the Springsted Incorporated Memoradum United Properties Request for Financial Assistance—Final Internal Rate of Return Analysis dated July 25, 2006 and in the United Properties, Inc. letter to Springsted Incorporated dated June 29,2006 attached hereto. 4 A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of the TIF District and the use of tax increments has been performed as described above. If all development which is proposed to be assisted with tax increment were to occur in the TIF District, the total increase in market value would be up to $12,160,768. The present value of tax increments from the TIF District is estimated to be $1,161,369. It is the Authority's finding that no development with a market value of greater than$10,999,399 would occur without tax increment assistance in this TIF District within fifteen (15)years. This finding is based upon evidence from general past experience with the high costs of site improvements in the general area of the TIF District. See the Springsted Incorporated Memoradum United Properties Request for Financial Assistance—Final Internal Rate of Return Analysis dated July 25, 2006 attached hereto and Page 5 Section J of the TIF Plan. 3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 20 will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole,for the development of Redevelopment Project Area No. 6 by private enterprise. The project to be assisted by the TIF District will result in increased employment in the City of between 350-400 jobs,and increased tax base of the City and the State of a minimum of$10.6 million, and add a high-quality development to the area. 5 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing (Redevelopment) District No. 20 Within Redevelopment Project Area No. 6 (Superior Office Center Project) Dated: July 26,2006 (DRAFT) Approved: Prepared by: SPRINGSTED INCORPORATED 380 Jackson Street,Suite 300 St.Paul, MN 55101-2887 (651)223-3000 WWW.SPRINGSTED.COM TABLE OF CONTENTS Section Pa e s A.

Section B Statutory Authorization See Section B of the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project Area. Section C Statement of Need and Public Purpose See Section C of the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project Area. Section D Statement of Objectives See Section D of the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project Area. Section E Designation of Tax Increment Financing District as a Redevelopment District Redevelopment districts are a type of tax increment financing district in which one or more of the following conditions exists and is reasonably distributed throughout the district: (1) parcels comprising at least 70%of the area of the district are occupied by buildings,streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures and more than 50% of the buildings, not including SPRINGSTED Pagel Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota outbuildings,are structurally substandard requiring substantial renovation or clearance. A parcel is deemed "occupied" if at least 15% of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots;or other similar structures. (2) the property consists of vacant,unused,underused,inappropriately used,or infrequently used railyards, rail storage facilities,or excessive or vacated railroad right-of-ways;or (3) tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use was for tank facilities, as defined in section 115C.02,subdivision 15,if the tank facilities: (i) have or had a capacity of more than 1,000,000 gallons; (ii) are located adjacent to rail facilities;and (iii) have been removed or are unused,underused,inappropriately used,or infrequently used. For districts consisting of two more noncontiguous areas, each area must individually qualify under the provisions listed above,as well as the entire area must also qualify as a whole. The TIF District qualifies as a redevelopment district in that it meets all of the criteria listed in (1) above. LHB was hired in 2005 to inspect and evaluate the property within proposed TIF District No.20 to determine qualification as a redevelopment district. A report of inspection procedures and results for determining qualifications of a tax increment financing district as a redevelopment district dated September 28, 2005 was prepared. This report and additional supporting facts and documentation will be retained by the Authority for the life of the TIF District and are available to the public upon request. "Structurally substandard" is defined as buildings containing defects or deficiencies in structural elements, essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection (including egress), layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors. Generally, a building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable to a new building,or could be modified to satisfy the existing code at a cost of less than 15%of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same size and type. A city may not find that a building is structurally substandard without an interior inspection, unless it can not gain access to the property and there exists evidence which supports the structurally substandard finding. Such evidence includes recent fire or police inspections,on-site property tax appraisals or housing inspections,exterior evidence of deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence. Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted must be made and retained. A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard building if the following conditions are met: (1) the parcel was occupied by a substandard building within three years of the filing of the request for certification of the parcel as part of the district; (2) the demolition or removal of the substandard,building was performed by a developer under a development agreement with the authority,approved in conjunction with the TIF Plan dated August 1,2006, tfte r removal occurred that the r such demolition o (3) the authority found by resolutionup _. before building was structurally substandard and that the authority intended to include the parcel in the TIF district,and (4) the authority notifies the county auditor that the original tax capacity of the parcel must be adjusted upon filing the request for certification of the tax capacity of the parcel as part of a district. In the case of(4) above,the County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the parcel to be the greater of (a)the current tax capacity of the parcel, or (b)a computed tax capacity of the parcel using the estimated market value of the parcel for the year in which the demolition or removal occurred,and the appropriate classification rate(s) for the current year. SPRINGSTED Page 2 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota At least 90 percent of the tax increment from a redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation as a redevelopment district. These costs include, but are not limited to, acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements or hazardous substances, pollution, or contaminants, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development, demolition and rehabilitation of structures, clearing of land, removal of hazardous substances or remediation necessary to develop the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the site. The allocated administrative expenses of the Authority may be included in the qualifying costs. Section F Duration of the TIF District Redevelopment districts may remain in existence 25 years from the date of receipt by the Authority of the first tax increment. Modifications of this plan(see Section Z)shall not extend these limitations. The Authority reserves the right to allow the TIF District to remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by law (projected to be through the year 2033), but anticipates that the TIF District will be decertified prior to that time(see Section P)to coincide with the City's current TIF policy( of 15 years. All tax increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the Authority. Section G Property to be Included in the TIF District The TIF District is an approximate 10.36-acre area of land located within the Project Area. A map showing the location of the TIF District is shown in Exhibit I. The boundaries and area encompassed by the TIF District are described below: Parcel ID Number Legal Description 01-116-22-13-0037 Lot 1, Block 1. Superior Office 6509 Flying Cloud Dr. Center. Eden Prairie,MN The parcel ID number and legal description listed above reflects the new ID for the portion of the property that will be included in the TIF District. The original property was 15.42 acres and had a parcel ID of 01-116-22-13-0034. A portion of the original property was sold and the entire property replatted to become two parcels, one of which is included in the district and listed above. The area encompassed by the TIF District shall also include all street or utility right-of-ways located upon or adjacent to the property described above. Section H Property to be Acquired in the TIF District The Authority may acquire and sell any or all of the property located within the TIF District; however does not anticipate acquiring property at this time. Section I Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District The proposed project includes the redevelopment of a portion of the former Physical Electronics building in the City of Eden Prairie. The redevelopment project includes demolition, including asbestos abatement, of an existing building and construction of a new one-story office building of approximately 91,000 square feet. The existing building has been inspected and found to be substandard by resolution in 2005[Rest . The Authority anticipates using tax increment to finance a portion of the extraordinary site improvement, demolition and asbestos abatement costs, in f annual increment for pooling or n n related administrative costs. The Authority anticipates reserving 20/o of the a p g and ty p 9 SPRINGSTED Page 3 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota affordable housing and/or transportation needs within the project area. The remaining 80%of annual increment will be available for reimbursement to the developer of eligible tax increment costs. The proposed project is expected to be fully constructed in 2007 and be 100%assessed and on the tax rolls as of January 2,2008 for taxes payable in 2009. At the time this document was prepared there were no signed construction contracts with regards to the above described development. Section J Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing In establishing the TIF District,the City makes the following findings: (1) The TIF District qualifies as a redevelopment district; The City of Eden Prairie hired LHB to inspect and evaluate property within the proposed Tax Increment Financing District No.20 to be established by the Authority. The property is located at 6509 Flying Cloud Drive. The site consisted of an interconnected building "complex"originally built in 1974 with a major addition in 1978. The building consisted of multiple occupancy types for a single tenant including office, warehouse, manufacturing, assembly and athletic facilities. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine if the proposed district met the statutory requirements for coverage and if this building complex met the qualifications required for a Redevelopment District. The final report prepared by LHB for the City,and kept on file in the City offices for public inspection, contains the details of the findings summarized below regarding the substandard qualifications: • parcels consisting of 100 percent of the area of the proposed TIF District were occupied,exceeding the 70 percent coverage test; 100 percent of the bug proposed buildings in the ro osed Dist rict contained code deficiencies exceeding the 15 percent threshold. A complete Building Code and Condition Report was completed for the one building in the District; • 100 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance, because of defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions,or similar factors which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance, exceeding the more than 50 percent substandard test;and • the substandard building is reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the proposed TIF District. (2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the City,would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through h private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan. Factual basis: Proposed development not expected to occur.• SPRINGSTED Page 4 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota The proposed development consists of the construction of an approximate 91,000 square foot office building in the City of Eden Prairie on the site that housed the former Physical Electronics building. The structure was found to be substandard by the Authority by resolution in 2005 after a detailed inspection and evaluation by LHB with planned demolition shortly thereafter. The developer has provided detailed information to the City demonstrating that the redevelopment of this site is not financially feasible without the assistance provided in this TIF Plan,based on the extraordinary costs associated with redevelopment of the site including site improvements,demolition,and asbestos abatement costs. No higher market value expected' The unique characteristics of the land within TIF District No. 20 require additional redevelopment expenditures related to site preparation, grading, and landscaping. In order to commence building the new structure,the site required demolition of the existing structure, site improvements, and asbestos abatement, and various other redevelopment activities. The financial assistance provided under this TIF Plan will help offset the costs of these corrections. Given the unique nature of this property, there is no reasonable expectation of any development occurring that would generate as much market value increase as is estimated to be generated by the proposed development. To summarize the basis for the City's findings regarding alternative market value, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes,Section 469.175,Subd.3(d),the City makes the following determinations: a. The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will increase without the use of tax increment financing is$3,112,819 (current land value of$1,998,000 with 3%annual market value inflator applied for 15 years to coincide with term of the district). b. If the proposed development to be assisted with tax increment occurs in the District,the total increase in market value would be approximately$12,160,768, including the value of the building See Exhibit II). C. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be$1,161,369(See Exhibit V). d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur,the Council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than $10,999,399(the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c)without tax increment assistance. A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of c the TIF District and the use of tax increments assumes no development of this type and site due to the condition of the existing nature will occur on the s 9 building (i.e. vacant, cost u h obsolescent structure requiring asbestos removal and high upgrades). We assume the estimated market value without creation of the district would only increase at most by an incremental inflationary amount. The increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the TIF District and the use of tax increments. (3) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a of the Project Area b private enterprise. whole,for development � y p p Factual basis: The proposed development is the construction of a commercial building with approximately 91,000 square feet of office space,in the Project Area that is expected to create substantial new tax base for the City and Pa e 5 SPRINGSTED 9 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota the state, as well as expected future private development. The development clearly meets the City's redevelopment objectives contained in Section D of the Redevelopment Plan. (4) The TIF Plan conforms to general plans for development of the City as a whole. Factual basis: The City Planning Commission has determined that the development proposed in the TIF Plan conforms to the City comprehensive plan. (5) The Authority elects the method of tax increment computation set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177,Subdivision 3(b)(see method(b)in Section P). Section K Estimated Public Costs The estimated public costs of the TIF District are listed below. Such costs are eligible for reimbursement from tax increments of the TIF District. Land/Building acquisition 0 Site Improvements/Preparation costs 728,204 Installation of public utilities 0 Parking facilities 0 Streets and sidewalks 0 Public_ park facilities 0 Bond principal payments 0 Bond interest payments 0 Loan Principal payments 728,204 Loan Interest payments 342,188 Capitalized Interest payments 100,985 Administrative expenses (1% of projected tax increment) 20,557 Other—redevelopment costs within district(19%of projected tax increment) 390,590 Other— pooling outside district (surplus increment after projected payment of TIF Note) 473,213 Total $2,783,941 The Authority anticipates reserving 20% of the annual increment for administrative expenses and pooling for affordable housing and/or transportation needs within the District and Project Area. Based on the assumptions listed in this TIF Plan,that amount is estimated to be$411,147. The remaining 80%is expected to be available for payment of the developer TIF Note, which is estimated to be $728,204 of principal, $342,188 of interest and $100,985 of capitalized interest costs. Approximately$473,213 is expected to be surplus increment that may be used for qualified project expenditures within the district or project area, pending eligibility. The Authority reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the items listed above or to incorporate additional eligible items,so long as the total estimated public cost is not increased. SPRINGSTED Page 6 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota Section L Estimated Sources of Revenue Tax Increment revenue $2,055,737 Interest on invested funds 0 Bond proceeds 0 Loan proceeds 728,204 Real estate sales 0 Special assessments 0 Rent/Lease revenue 0 Grants 0 Other 0 Total $2,783,941 The Authority anticipates providing financial assistance to the proposed development through the use of a pay-as- you-go technique. As tax increments are collected from the TIF District in future years,a portion of these taxes will be distributed to the developer/owner as reimbursement for public costs incurred(see Section K). The Authority reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay-as-you-go assistance, internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing mechanism authorized by law. The Authority also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such costs including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues, federal or state funds, and investment income. Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness The Authority does not anticipate issuing tax increment bonds to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District, but reserves the right to issue such bonds in an amount not to exceed$728,204. Section N Original Net Tax Capacity The County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State Commissioner of Revenue. For districts certified between January 1 and June 30, inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts certified between July 1 and December 31,inclusive,this value is based on the current assessment year. The Estimated Market Value of all property with the original parcel ID of 01-116-22-13-0034 comprising of 15.42 acres as of January 2, 2005, for taxes payable in 2006, is $3,133,000. The area within the proposed TIF District boundaries is 10.36 acres,therefore we assume the value of the portion within the boundaries of the TIF District to be $2,104,921 and the current net tax capacity of the property is$41,348. The original parcel was replatted to reflect the subdivision of property to be contained within the boundaries of the proposed TIF district and a current market value of$1,998,000 was applied as of January 2,2005 for taxes payable in 2006 to the new parcel 01-116-22-13-0037. The portion of the parcel within the boundaries of the district contained a substandard building that was demolished in late 2005. The greater of the current net tax capacity or the estimated market value of the parcel for the year in which the building was removed, applying class rates for the current year must be used to calculate the original net tax capacity. Therefore, upon establishment of the TIF District, and subsequent reclassification of property, it is estimated that the original net tax capacity of the TIF District will be approximately$41,348. SPRINGSTED Page 7 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota Each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as a result of: (1) changes in the tax-exempt status of property; (2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District; (3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements;or (4) changes in property classification rates. Section 0 Original Tax Capacity Rate Auditor shall also certifythe original tax ca capacity rate of the TIF District. This rate shall be the sum of all The County Aud a P ty ty local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District. This rate shall be for the same taxes payable year as the original net tax capacity. In future years,the amount of tax increment generated by the TIF District will be calculated using the lesser of(a)the sum of the current local tax rates at that time or(b)the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. At the time this document was prepared, the sum of all local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District, for taxes levied in 2006 and payable in 2007, was not yet available. When this total becomes available, the County Auditor shall certify this amount as the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. For purposes of estimating the tax increment generated by the TIF District,the sum of the local tax rates for taxes levied in 2005 and payable in 2006,is 101.089%as shown below. 2005/2006 Taxing Jurisdiction Local Tax Rate City of Eden Prairie 28.782% Hennepin County 41.016% ISD#272 23.187% Other 8.104% Total 101.089% Section P Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and Projected Tax Increment The Authority anticipates that the redevelopment will be completed by December 31, 2007, creating a total tax capacity for TIF District No. 20 of $252,164 as of January 2, 2008. The captured tax capacity as of that date is estimated to be $134,724 and the first full year of tax increment is estimated to be $136,191 payable in 2009. A complete schedule of estimated tax increment from the TIF District is shown in Exhibit III. The estimates shown in this TIF Plan assume that commercial class rates remain at 2.0% of the estimated market value over$150,000 and assume 1%annual increase in market values. Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District. To the extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference shall be known as the captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.

In the on final net tax capacity of the TIF District shall be determined before the pp 9 p ty subsequent years,the current net tax capacity shall either(a)be determined before the application of fiscal disparity or (b)exclude the product of any fiscal disparity increase in the TIF District(since the original net tax capacity was certified)times the appropriate fiscal disparity ratio. The method the Authority elects shall remain the same for the life of the TIF District, except that a single change may be made at any time from method(a)to method(b) above. The Authority elects method(b),or M.S.Section 469.177,Subdivision 3(b). The County Auditor shall certify to the Authority the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The Authority may choose to retain any or all of this amount. It is the Authority's intention to retain 100%of the captured net tax the retained captured net tax ca pacity aci of the TIF District. I District. Such amount shall be known as ty capacity of the TIF D►st p p Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the exhibits contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax increment generated over the anticipated life of the TIF District. Exhibit VI shows the projected pay-as-you-go note with the maximum amount of $728,204 associated with reimbursement of TIF eligible redevelopment costs. Section Q Use of Tax Increment Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36%of the annual tax increment generated by the TIF District and pay such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of financial reporting and auditing of tax increment financing information throughout the state. Exhibit III shows the projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District. The Authority has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generated by the TIF District for any of the following purposes: (1) pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section K) and County administrative costs associated with the TIF District(see Section T); (2) pay principal and interest on tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District; (3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District; (4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County Board under M.S. Section 469,175,Subdivision 1a;or (5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City,County and School District. Tax increments from property located in one county must be expended for the direct and primary benefit of a project located within that county, unless both county boards involved waive this requirement. Tax increments shall not be used to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the City. Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition,construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality,county,school district,or any or the State or federal government,or for a commons area used as a public park,or a other local unit of governmentg , facility used for social, recreational, or conference purposes. This prohibition does not apply to the construction or renovation of a parking structure or of a privately owned facility for conference purposes. SPRINGSTED Page 9 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer,or other beneficiary of assistance,to repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed with tax increments,such payments shall be subject to all of the restrictions imposed on the use of tax increments. Assistance includes sale of property at less than the cost of acquisition or fair market value, grants, ground or other leases at less then fair market rent, interest rate subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other similar assistance that would otherwise be paid for by the developer or beneficiary. Section R Excess Tax Increment In any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to pay the estimated public costs authorized by the TIF Plan,the Authority shall use the excess tax increments to: (1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds; (2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof; (3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax increment bonds;or (4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City,County and School District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education the amount of any excess tax increment redistributed to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution. Section S Tax Increment Pooling and the Five Year Rule At least 75%of the tax increments from the TIF District must be expended on activities within the district or to pay for bonds used to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section E for additional restrictions). No more than 25%of the tax increments may be spent on costs outside of the TIF District but within the boundaries of the Project Area, except to pay debt service on credit enhanced bonds. All administrative expenses are considered to have been spent outside of the TIF District. Tax increments are considered to have been spent within the TIF District if such amounts are:[M.S.Section 469.1763,Subdivisions 2-4] (1) actually paid to a third party for activities performed within the TIF District within five years after certification of the district; (2) used to pay bonds that were issued and sold to a third party,the proceeds of which are reasonably expected on the date of issuance to be spent within the later of the five-year period or a reasonable temporary period or are deposited in a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund. (3) used to make payments or reimbursements to a third party under binding contracts for activities performed within the TIF District, which were entered into within five years after certification of the district;or (4) used to reimburse a party for payment of eligible costs(including interest)incurred within five years from certification of the district. Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the TIF District,at least 75%of the tax increments must be used to pay outstanding bonds or make contractual payments obligated within the first five years. When outstanding bonds have been defeased and sufficient money has been set aside to pay for such contractual obligations,the TIF District must be decertified. SPRINGSTED Page 10 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota The Authority anticipates that tax increments will be spent outside of the TIF District(including a portion for allowable administrative expenses) for transportation, redevelopment and affordable housing qualified pooling expenditures. The Authority anticipates reserving 20%of the annual increment for pooling expenditures. Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the Authority other than: (1) amounts paid for the purchase of land; (2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services directly connected with the physical development of the real property in the project; (3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons residing or businesses located in the project; (4) amounts used to pay principal or interest on,fund a reserve for,or sell at a discount bonds issued pursuant to section 469.178;or (5) amounts used to pay other financial obligations to the extent those obligations were used to finance costs described in clause(1)to(3). Administrative expenses include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel,fiscal consultants,planning or economic development consultants, City staff time, and actual costs incurred by the County in administering the TIF District.Tax increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of(a) 10%of the total estimated public costs authorized by the TIF Plan or(b) 10%of the total tax increment expenditures for the project.[M.S.Section 469.176,Subdivision 3] Section U Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements-Four Year Rule If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition,rehabilitation,renovation,or qualified improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel located within the TIF District,then that parcel shall be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified improvements of a street are limited to construction or opening of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street. The Authority must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1 of the fifth year, evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District. If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the Authority or owner of the parcel subsequently commences any of the above activities,the Authority shall certify to the County Auditor that such activity has commenced and the parcel shall once again be included in the TIF District. The County Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel,as most recently certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District.[M.S.Section 469.176,Subdivision 6] Section V Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions Exhibit IV shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The Authority believes that there will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed development would not have occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public assistance. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the development therein becomes part of the general tax base. SPRINGSTED Page 11 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota The fiscal and economic implications of the proposed tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,Section 469.175,Subdivision 2,are listed below. 1. The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the district is estimated to be $2,063,163. 2. To the extent the project in TIF District 20 generates any public cost impacts on city-provided services such as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, and borrowing costs attributable to the district,such costs will be levied upon the taxable net tax capacity of the City,excluding that portion captured by the District. 3. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to school district levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same,is estimated to be$473,231. 4. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to county levies,assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is estimated to be $837,112. 5. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to city levies, assuming the city's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is estimated to be $587,421. 6. No additional information has been requested by the county or school district that would enable it to determine additional costs that will accrue to it due to the development proposed for the district. Section W Prior Planned Improvements The Authority shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor (or notice of district enlargement), with a listing of all properties within the TIF District for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued. [M.S. Section 469.177,Subdivision 4] There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of the properties within the TIF District. Section X Development Agreements If within a project containing a redevelopment district,more than 25%of the acreage of the property to be acquired by the Authority is purchased with tax increment bonds proceeds (to which tax increment from the property is pledged), then prior to such acquisition,the Authority must enter into an agreement for the development of the property. Such agreement must provide recourse for the Authority should the development not be completed.[M.S.Section 469.176, Subdivision 5] The Authority anticipates entering into an agreement for development,but does not anticipate acquiring any property located within the TIF District. SPRINGSTED Page 12 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota Section Y Assessment Agreements The Authority may, upon entering into a development agreement,also enter into an assessment agreement with the developer,which establishes a minimum market value of the land and improvements for each year during the life of the TIF District. The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land,and so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be an accurate estimate, shall certify the assessment agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement shall be filed for record in the office of the County Recorder of each county where the property is located. Any modification or premature termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County and School District. [M.S.Section 469.177, Subdivision 8] The Authority anticipates entering into an assessment agreement. Section Z Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District;increase in the amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred; a determination to capitalize interest on the debt if that determination was not part of the original TIF Plan; increase in the portion of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by the Authority; increase in the total estimated public costs;or designation of additional property to be acquired by the Authority shall be approved only after satisfying all the necessary requirements for approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not apply if:[M.S.Section 469.175,Subdivision 4] (1) the only modification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District;and (2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of those parcels in the TIF District's original net tax capacity, or the Authority agrees that the TIF District's original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated. The Authority must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area of the TIF District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but not enlarged after five years following the date of certification. Section AA Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan Upon adoption of the TIF Plan,the Authority shall submit a copy of such plan to the Commissioner of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor. The Authority shall also request that the County Auditor certify the original net tax capacity and net tax capacity rate of the TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in this process,the Authority shall submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution establishing the TIF District and adopting the TIF Plan, and a listing of any prior planned improvements. The Authority shall also send the County Assessor any assessment agreement establishing the minimum market value of land and improvements in the TIF District,and shall request that the County Assessor review and certify this assessment agreement as reasonable. The County shall distribute to the Authority the amount of tax increment as it becomes available. The amount of tax increment in any year represents the applicable property taxes generated by the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. The amount of tax increment may change due to development anticipated by the TIF Plan, other development,inflation of property values,or changes in property classification rates or formulas. In administering and implementing the TIF Plan,the following actions should occur on an annual basis: SPRINGSTED Page 13 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota (1) prior to July 1, the Authority shall notify the County Assessor of any new development that has occurred in the TIF District during the past year to insure that the new value will be recorded in a timely manner. (2) if the County Auditor receives the request for certification of a new TIF District,or for modification of an existing TIF District,before July 1,the request shall be recognized in determining local tax rates for the current and subsequent levy years. Requests received on or after July 1 shall be used to determine local tax rates in subsequent years. (3) each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount of the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The amount certified shall reflect any changes that occur as a result of the following: (a) the value of property that changes from tax-exempt to taxable shall be added to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The reverse shall also apply; (b) the original net tax capacity may be modified by any approved enlargement or reduction of the TIF District; (c) if laws governing the classification of real property cause changes to the percentage of estimated market value to be applied for property tax purposes,then the resulting increase or decrease in net tax capacity shall be applied proportionately to the original net tax capacity and the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. The County Auditor shall notify the Authority of all changes made to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. Section AB Filing TIF Plan,Financial Reporting and Disclosure Requirements The Authority will file the TIF Plan,and any subsequent amendments thereto,with the Commissioner of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,Section 469.175,subdivision 4A. The Authority will comply with all reporting requirements for the TIF District under Minnesota Statutes,Section 469.175,subdivisions 5 and 6.

In such a case,the total local tax rate would decrease by 0.095%(see Hypothetical Decrease in Local Tax Rate above). The hypothetical tax that the Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District would generate is also shown above. Statement 2: Since the projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District is not available to the taxing jurisdictions, then there is no impact on taxes levied or local tax rates. (1) Taxable net tax capacity=total net tax capacity-captured TIF-fiscal disparity contribution,if applicable. (2) The impact on these taxing jurisdictions is negligible since they represent only 8.02%of the total tax rate.

An authority may enter into a written assessment agreement with any person establishing a minimum market value of land, existing improvements, or improvements to be constructed in a district, if the property is owned or will be owned by the person. The minimum market value established by an assessment agreement may be fixed, or increase or decrease in later years from the initial minimum market value. If an a ement is fully executed before July 1 of an assessment year,the market value as provided u I eement must be used by the county or local assessor as the taxable market value o property for that assessment. Agreements executed on or after July 1 of an asse. . ar become effective for assessment purposes in the following assessment year. An a smen ement terminates on the earliest of the date on which conditions in the assess . a ement ination are satisfied,the termination date specified in the agreeme,: ; or t date when crement is no longer paid to the authority under section 469.176, divisio 1.

Recording an assessment agreement constitutes notice of the agreement to anyone who acquires any interest in the land or improvements that is subject to the assessment agreement, and the agreement is binding upon them. D-8 An assessment agreement may be modified or terminated by mutual consent of the current parties to the agreement. Modification or termination of an assessment agreement must be approved by the governing body of the municipality. If the estimated market value for the property for the most recently available assessment is less than the minimum market value established by the assessment agreement for that or any later year and if bond counsel does not conclude that termination of the agreement is necessary to preserve the tax exempt status of outstanding bonds or refunding bonds to be issued,the modification or termination of the assessment agreement also must be approved by the governing bodies of the county and the school district.

When Tax Increment Financing is involved in a redevelopment project,actions by the public entity(HRA and/or City Council)will have two primary parts: • Consideration of the Tax Increment Financing(TIF)Plan and Redevelopment Plan ■ Gives the HRA/City authority to utilize the Tax Increment Financing tool and to provide a TIF subsidy to a Developer/project • Consideration of the Development Agreement ■ Specifies the mechanics of providing a subsidy and the amount of such subsidy 1 Consideration of a Tax Increment Financing IF Plan and Redevelopment Plan The Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No.20 is a newly proposed redevelopment district that is anticipated to be adopted on August 1,2006. The Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area No.6 is a newly proposed project plan that is also anticipated to be adopted on August 1,which provides the underlying statutory authority for a public body to create a Tax Increment Financing Plan. The TIF Project includes the acquisition and demolition of an existing building complex that was found to be substandard in 2005. The Pubic Sector Advfsors City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota Summary Memo, TIF 20 and Development Agreement July 25, 2006 Page 2 developer is proposing to construct a 91,000 square foot office building called Superior Office Center. It is proposed that tax increment will be used to reimburse the developer for a portion of the site improvements/preparations associated with redevelopment of the site. The HRA will be the authority of the district and asked to approve the creation of the TIF Plan and Redevelopment Plan on August 1. MN Statute requires the City Council to hold the public hearing and pass a resolution approving creation even though the approving body is the HRA. LHB, a local planning/architectural firm,was hired in 2005 to inspect and evaluate the property within the proposed TIF(Redevelopment)District No.20. The building was determined to have met the statutory requirements necessary to be found substandard as described in the Tax Increment Financing law. The HRA passed a resolution on November 1, 2005 which found the building to be substandard, prior to its demolition late in 2005. A final building analysis report has been completed and is kept on file in the City offices. The term of TIF District No. 20 is estimated to be 15 years. The budget contained in the plan is $2,783,941 and includes the following public costs: ➢ Site Improvement/Preparation Costs of$728,204 ➢ Loan principal and interest payments,including capitalized interest,of$1,171,377 ➢ Administrative expenses(1%)of$20,557 ➢ Pooling for redevelopment/transportation/affordable housing(19%)of 863,803 The revenues of the district total$2,783,941 and are as follows: ➢ Projected tax increment of$2,055,737 ➢ Loan proceeds of$728,204 Approval of the TIF and Redevelopment plans does not constitute an agreement between the HRA and United Properties to provide a subsidy to the project rather, it provides the mechanism to collect tax increment due to an increase in value of the redevelopment property. 2)Consideration of the Development Agreement between the HRA and United Properties The Development Agreement between United Properties and the HRA contains the provisions of the proposed development and specifies the amount of the subsidy and how it is to be provided. The development agreement contains the following primary points related to how much subsidy is to be provided and the provisions under which such subsidy is provided: • The principal amount of subsidy is$728,204. • The principal amount will be paid to the Developer by the City over a term of 15 years and will include interest at 6.5%. City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota Summary Memo, TIF 20 and Development Agreement July 25, 2006 Page 3 • The maximum Note payment amounts over the term are$1,171,377. • Should the Developer sell the project anytime prior to February 1, 2023, the Developer will repay to the Authority the total amount of principal and interest paid to the Developer. • When the rental space is 95% leased, or 18 months passes from completion of construction, the leases shall be provided to the Authority and a re-examination of the lease rates will be undertaken. If there is greater than$1.25 psf variation above an average triple net lease rate of$14.50,then an IRR analysis shall be completed using current project information, including actual costs. If the analysis results in an IRR with assistance of less than 15%,then the project will continue to qualify for the same TIF subsidy,and if greater than 15%with assistance, such assistance shall be adjusted accordingly so that the IRR does not exceed 15%. • The principal amount plus interest shall be solely payable to the Developer from 80% of Tax Increments received. • The Business Subsidy law does not apply because of the provision stating such assistance is not a business subsidy if it is "assistance for redevelopment when the recipient's investment in the purchase of the site and in site preparation is 70 percent or more of the assessor's current year's estimated market value". As stated in the development agreement,the Developer's acquisition and site preparation is 158% of the assessor's current year's estimated market value. Springsted completed an analysis of the projects sources and uses, including an internal rate of return analysis, as part of the detailed project review. The results of that analysis are included in a memo to City Staff dated July 25, 2006 entitled"United Properties Request for Financial Assistance—Final Internal Rate of Return Analysis". Springsted Incorporated 380 Jackson Street, Suite 300 Saint Paul,MN 55101-2887 Tel: 651-223-3000 Fax: 651-223-3002 www.springsted.com MEMORANDUM TO: David Lindahl,Manager of Economic Development Janet Jeremiah,Community Development Director FROM: Mikaela Huot,Assistant Vice President/Consultant Paul Steinman,Vice President/Consultant DATE: July 25,2006 SUBJECT: United Properties Request for Financial Assistance—Final Internal Rate of Return Analysis The purpose of this memo is to outline the financial components of the United Properties proposal to construct an office building on approximately 10.36 acres within the proposed Tax Increment Financing District No.20. The developer estimates the total cost of the project to be$14,034,837. The developer's request for tax increment financing assistance is$1,044,244. City staff will recommend to Council/HRA that the developer be reimbursed solely for demolition and asbestos removal costs,which the developer estimates to be$728,204. The annual amount of gross tax increment based upon a final market value of$12,683,000(land-$1,998,000,building- $10,685,000)as estimated for taxes payable 2009 is approximately$136,191. We recommend the City retain 20%of the tax increment for pooling for affordable housing,redevelopment and transportation costs and related administrative expenses,with the remaining 80%pledged for payment to the developer. Assuming a present value rate of 6.50%we estimate it will take approximately 12 years to pay off a TIF Note of$728,204, including capitalized interest. The City's current Tax Increment Policy limits the amount of assistance to 15 years. Our assumptions.also include a 0%annual market value inflator. But-For Analysis The but-for test is used to determine whether or not a project will proceed as proposed without the use of public dollars. To complete this analysis we examined two 10-year commercial project pro-formas,one showing a result if the developer receives the subsidy and one showing a result if the developer does not receive a subsidy. The following assumptions and parameters were used in the proformas: ➢ Revenues and expenses provided by developer o Total acquisition costs were reduced by the amount of accrued interest,$280,460,since the time the property was purchased,subsequently increasing the amount of equity required. o Total acquisition costs were reduced by the amount of real estate taxes paid,$75,101,since the property was purchased,subsequently increasing the amount of equity required. o Total acquisition costs used in our analysis did not include$60,000 of additional other costs indicated by the developer as acquisition costs. ➢ Lease rates provided by developer o $14.50 per square foot for office space Pubt'c Sector Advisors City of Eden Prairie,Minnesota Final IRR Analysis,TIF 20 July 25,2006 Page 2 Vacancy rates provided by developer o 5% ➢ Equity investment of$3,119,276 without assistance(estimated) ➢ Equity investment of$2,391,276 with assistance(estimated) ➢ Annual inflation rates as provided by developer applied to rental incomes ➢ 3%inflation rates applied to expenditures ➢ Present value rate equal to 6.50%(developer financing) ➢ Developer provided financing terms of 6.50%,$10.5 million, 30 year term—paid in full at time of sale Springsted has reviewed the developer's projected lease rates and finds them to be within a reasonable range of rates in the Eden Prairie and surrounding area market. Springsted performed an industry standard analysis using the Internal Rate of Return mechanism to estimate the proposed project's rate of return. ♦ Internal Rate of Return(IRR) o measures the average annual yield on an investment The following table summarizes the results of the IRR analysis: Without Assistance With Assistance Internal Rate of Return year 11) 9.12% 12.79% Calculated Sale $11,980,291 $13,123,038 Developers are typically interested in the cash on cash rate of return and return on investment to determine the profitability of income producing properties. The cash on cash method is an annual test and considers the before-tax cash flow as a measure of the equity invested to determine the developer's cash return. An investor is typically interested in the internal rate of return of the project to determine the return on their initial investment,generally over a longer period. It is our understanding that in this case United Properties holds the position as both developer and investor. The internal rate of return measurement is typically what is used by public agencies to determine the need for a subsidy. Our methodology is to estimate the calculations to help measure the project's financial performance with and without the assistance in order to meet the but-for analysis,which tests whether the project will proceed`but-for"the subsidy. Should the IRR lie below a reasonable range without a subsidy, we can assume the project will not move forward without such subsidy. Should the IRR lie within a reasonable range with a subsidy,we can assume the amount of subsidy tested is appropriate for the project. All such estimates should be viewed as general indicators of performance and not exact forecasts. The number of current and future variables affecting these estimates and actual results are great. Tenant improvement costs and lease commissions will occur at the start of the project before the rental incomes and potential tax increment revenues are fully realized. We estimate the overall cumulative cash flow of the project in the early years will be poor because of the upfront costs. Cash flow is not covered in the initial years but proves solid and growing through 10 years in both scenarios. Debt service coverage is estimated to be 151%without assistance and 164% with assistance in year three. The developer uses a 5% vacancy rate which is also a reasonable assumption for this type of product given the current market. City of Eden Prairie,Minnesota Final IRR Analysis,TIF 20 July 25,2006 Page 3 Without assistance this project is expected to generate an internal rate of return of 9.12%in 2017. The calculation of the internal rate of return includes a hypothetical sale of the building in year 11 (2017). Using the Net Operating Income of year 11 and a capitalization rate of 9.5%,the estimated sales price would be$11,980,291. Using those same assumptions, with the TIF assistance we calculated the project would generate an IRR of 12.79%, with a calculated sales price of$13,123,038. ♦ Capitalization Rate(Cap Rate) o a ratio used to estimate the value of income producing properties United Properties has submitted an updated request for TIF assistance dated June 29,2006 for a total amount of $1,044,244. This includes the following project costs: Demolition and Asbestos Removal 728,204 Earthwork(excess fill removal) 141,300 Retaining Wall 86,040 Storm Water Ponds 47,500 TIF Support Fees 16,200 Related En ineerin Fees 25,000 Total $1,044,244 United Properties also provided the following updated estimated sources and uses of funds related specifically to the proposed redevelopment parcel: Sources of Funds Total Uses of Funds Total First Mortgage Amount 10,500,000 Land Acquisition 2,425,208 Equity 2,806,837 Construction/Demo Costs 9,054,144 TIF 728,000 Soft Costs 1,955,485 Development Fee 600,000 Total 14,034,837 Total 14,034,837 Conclusion The developer indicates in the request that assistance is necessary due to unusual land costs, including demolition of the existing blighted building,asbestos abatement and extensive site work including grading and removal of excess fill,retaining wall and storm water pond construction,and that TIF assistance will help to offset these unusual costs and make the project more feasible. In our analysis we used a land acquisition cost of$2,009,647,and an equity amount(with assistance)of$2,391,276 vs.what is shown above on the developers'sources and uses. The differential between the land acquisition cost we used and the developer's,is$280,460 in accrued interest,$75,101 in real estate taxes paid since purchase,and$60,000 of other additional costs borne by the developer. The calculated internal rate of return supports the fact that a subsidy may be necessary to provide a return adequate to complete the project as proposed. Without the assistance the timeline and type of project ultimately constructed may be adversely impacted. In conclusion,it appears such assistance is necessary to obtain the redevelopment results the City desires on the proposed site.

SPRINGSTED Page 1 Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota Section B Statutory Authorization The HRA Act authorizes the Authority to exercise all the powers relating to a housing and redevelopment authority granted under Minnesota Statutes,Sections 469.001 to 469.047,or other law. It is the intention of the Governing Body, notwithstanding the enumeration of specific goals and objectives in the Redevelopment Plan,that the Authority shall have and enjoy with respect to the Project Area the full range of powers and duties conferred upon the Authority pursuant to the HRA Act,the TIF Act, municipal housing and redevelopment authority laws,and such other legal authority as the Authority may have or enjoy from time to time. Section C Statement of Need and Public Purpose The Authority finds that there is a need for redevelopment within the City and the Project Area in order to provide employment and housing opportunities,to improve the local tax base,and to improve the general economy of the City and the State. The economic security of the people in the City depends upon proper development of property that meets any one of a number of conditions,including properties whose values are too low to pay for the public services required or rendered and properties whose lack of use or improper use has resulted in stagnant or unproductive land that could otherwise contribute to the public health,safety,and welfare. The Authority finds that in many cases such property cannot be developed without public participation and assistance in various forms including property acquisition and/or write-down,proper planning,the financing of development costs associated with clearance, grading and soils correction, and the making of various other public and private improvements necessary for development. In cases where the development of property cannot be done by private enterprise alone,the Authority believes it to be in the public interest to consider the exercise of its powers,to advance and spend public money,and to provide the means and impetus for such development. The Authority finds that in certain cases property within the Project Area would or may not be available for development without the specific financial aid to be sought, that the Redevelopment Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the Project Area by private enterprise,and that the Redevelopment Plan conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole. The Authority further finds that the Project is a"redevelopment project'within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes,Section 469.002,subd.14 of the HRA Act. Section D Statement of Objectives The Authority seeks to achieve one or more of the following objectives with respect to the Project Area, as the Authority may deem appropriate and necessary.

United Properties recently demolished an obsolescent structure that had been formally determined to be blighted. The decision to demolish was made by United Properties because we had no interest by prospective tenants in the existing building because it had an inflexible space plan due to multiple phased expansions with a lot of structural bearing walls, various ceiling heights, a partial basement level and older architectural design,in addition to asbestos materials throughout the older structure_ United Properties decided to demolish the obsolescent structure and replace it with a new single-story office building that would be more attractive to current tenants in the marketplace. The decision to construct a one-story office building is also dictated by the marketplace_ The site does not have freeway Visibility and is surrounded by similar one-story office and industrial properties. The marketplace will only pay a rent that supports one-story construction,which is less than for multi-story buildings. United Properties anticipates starting construction in September 2007 on a new one-story speculative office building containing 91,000 square feet. The costs to construct this project are too high due to unusual land costs,including demolition of the existing blighted building, asbestos abatement,and extensive site work including grading and removal of excess fill,retaining wall and stormwater pond construction. Obtaining TIF support to offset these unusual land costs will help make the project financially feasible and put it on an equal playing field with competitive properties. The project is not feasible without this assistance. The following is a cost breakdown for the amount of the TiF request: Demolition and Asbestos $728,204 Removal Earth Work(excess fill removal) $141,300 Retaining Wall $86, 040 Stormwater Ponds $47,500 TIF Support Fee $16,200 Related Engineering Fees $25.000_ Total $1,044,244 3500 American Blvd.w.
