Section 2.2. Acquisition, Construction and Installation of the
Project; Completion Date.
(a) The Company, on behalf of Schadow, agrees to acquire, construct
and install the Project or to cause the Project to be acquired, constructed and
installed by Schadow, in accordance with the plans and specifications as
amended from time to time by the Company and approved by the Issuer, which
approval shall not be unreasonably witheld or delayed; provided, however, that
no material amendment shall be made in the plans and specifications unless
f there shall be filed with the Issuer and the Bank the unqualified opinion of a
-6-
firm of nationally recognized bond attorneys stating that such amendment and
the expenditure of moneys from the Project Fund created pursuant to the
provisions of the Escrow Agreement to pay the cost of acquiring, constructing
and installing the Project in accordance with the plans and specifications, as
so amended, will not change the nature of the Project as an authorized
"project" within the meaning of the Act and will not impair the exemption of
the interest on the Bond from Federal income taxation pursuant to Section
103(b)(6)(A) of the Code.
W The Company agrees to cause the acquisition, construction and
installation of the Project to be completed as promptly as practicable after
receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, delays incident to strikes,
riots, acts of God or the public enemy beyond the reasonable control of the
Company only excepted, but if said acquisition, construction and installation
are not completed there shall be no resulting liability on the part of the Issuer
and no diminution in or postponement of the payments required to be made
hereunder.
(c) The Company recognizes that since the Project is being acquired,
constructed and installed by contractors and suppliers selected by it or
Schadow in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by architects or
engineers selected by it or Schadow, the Issuer makes no representation or
warranty with respect to the condition or workmanship of any part of the
Project or its suitability for the purposes of Schadow or the extent to which
proceeds derived from the sale of the Bond will pay the costs incurred in
connection with the Project.
(d) The Company agrees that the completion of the Project shall be
evidenced by the execution of a Certificate of Completion, the form of which
is attached hereto as Exhibit E (and is attached to the Escrow Agreement as
Exhibit B). Should any moneys remain in the Project Fund after the
Completion Date (that being the date of completion of the Project as certified
by the Company) such excess (except for amounts retained in the Project Fund
for Project costs not then due and payable) shall be applied as a prepayment of
principal on the Bond as required by Section 2.10(2) hereof; provided, however,
that should moneys remain in the Project Fund which exceed $100,000, such
moneys shall not be used to prepay the Bond or for any other purpose unless an
opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel satisfactory to the Bank is
obtained stating that such use will not impair the exemption of interest on the
Bond from Federal income taxation under Section 103(b)(6) of the Code.
(e) In the event that moneys in the Project Fund available for payment
of the costs of the Project should not be sufficient to pay the costs thereof in
full, and if Additional Bonds are not issued to finance the completion of the
Project, the Company agrees to complete the Project and to pay all that
portion of the costs of the Project as may be in excess of the moneys available
therefor in the Project Fund. The Issuer does not make any warranty, either
express or implied, that the moneys which will be paid into the Project Fund
and which, under the provisions of this Agreement, will be available for
payment of the costs of the Project, will be sufficient to pay all the costs
�- which will be incurred in that connection. The Company agrees that if after
-7-
exhaustion of the ►Honeys in the Project Fund, the Company should pay any
portion of the costs of the Project pursuant to the provisions of this Section, it
shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Issuer or from
the Bondholder nor shall it be entitled to any diminution in or postponement of

account designated "City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota - ITT Corporation - Project

Exhibit D (and attached as Exhibit A to the Escrow Agreement), properly executed
by an officer or agent of the Company to be designated by the Company in writing
to the Issuer, the Bank and the Project Fund Custodian (the "Authorized Company
Representative").
In making any such payment from the Project Fund, the Project Fund
Custodian may rely upon any such Requisition and Certification delivered to it
pursuant to this Section, and the Project Fund Custodian shall be relieved of all
liability with respect to making such payments in accordance therewith without
inspection of the Project or any other investigation, and the Company hereby
covenants and agrees in the Escrow Agreement to hold harmless and indemnify the
Project Fund Custodian and its officers and employees, from any liability incurred in
connection with any such payment.
The Bank agrees that it will notify the Issuer, the Company and the
Project Fund Custodian immediately upon the existence of any default hereunder
being made known to it. After the Project Fund Custodian has received written
notice from the Bank, it will make no payments from the Project Fund until it has
received written notice from the Bank that such payments may continue.

provisions of the Escrow Agreement, at the written request of and as directed by
the Authorized Company Representative (or, if the Company is in default under this
Agreement, the Authorized Issuer Representative), the Project Fund Custodian will
invest and reinvest separately any moneys held in the Project Fund in any
investments permitted by the laws of. the State of Minnesota for the proceeds of
-9-
obligations of a nature similar to the Bond. Such investments shall be held by or
under the control of the Project Fund Custodian and shall be deemed at all times a
part of the Project Fund and the interest accruing thereon and any profit realized
therefrom shall be credited to the Project Fund and any loss resulting therefrom
shall be charged against the Project Fund. The Project Fund Custodian is directed
in the Escrow Agreement to sell and convert to cash a sufficient amount of such
investments whenever the cash held in the Project Fund is insufficient to pay a
requisition for payment from the Project Fund when presented. Neither the Project
Fund Custodian nor the Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any loss resulting
from any such investment or resulting from the redemption or sale of any such
investment as herein authorized.
Section 2.6. Form of Bond. The Bond shall be dated the actual date
of issuance and delivery thereof and shall be designated the "City of Eden Prairie,
Minnesota Industrial Development Revenue Bond (International Telephone and
Telegraph Corporation Project), Series 1982". The Bond shall bear interest, be

officer before the Bond is issued and delivered to the Bank, such signature shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes and the Bond may be issued and
delivered as though said officer had remained in office until such issuance and
delivery. The Bond shall be a limited obligation of the Issuer as provided therein.
If the Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer shall at the
request of the Bondholder and in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
execute and deliver a new Bond in the principal amount at the time outstanding in
lieu of and in substitution for the Bond; provided that, in the case of a mutilated
Bond, the mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the Issuer, and in the case of

form as shall be satisfactory to the Company and the Issuer, such transfer to be
made on said registration books and endorsed on the Bond by the Issuer. Provided,
however, that no such transfer of the Bond shall be made without the express
written notice of intent to transfer given by the Bondholder to the Issuer and the
Company at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed date of transfer. Upon receipt

of said notice the Company shall have the option to purchase the Bond at a price of
the principal amount thereof at the time outstanding, plus accrued interest at the
rate then in effect in accordance with the provisions of the Bond, plus arrears in
interest and penalties in the form of interest or otherwise, if any, due and payable

by delivery, within five business days from the receipt of the notice, to the
registered owner of the Bond of a written notice of its intent to purchase the Bond,
and such purchase shall be consummated within a reasonable time thereafter. If no
such notice is received by the Bondholder from the Company, transfer of the Bond
may be made according to the foregoing provisions of this Section. The person in
whose name the Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes and payment of the principal and interest on
the Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or
his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy
and discharge the liability of the Issuer upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.

deliver the Pledge to the Bank, as pledgee under the Pledge. It is understood and

assigned and pledged to the Bondholder under the Pledge. The Company hereby
agrees to such assignment and pledge, and further agrees that all payments under
this Section shall be made directly to the Bank for the account of the Issuer at the
address set forth in the Bond, without any presentment thereof, except upon
payment of the final installment of principal. The Bank agrees to notify the Issuer
of any failure by the Company to make any payment hereunder for application to
the payment of the Bood. Upon any assignment or transfer of the Bond a new
agreement shall be entered into with the Company, the Issuer and the Bondholder,
respecting the place of payment of the Bond.

payment due on such date or the next succeeding payment hereunder and shall
reduce the payment to be made by the Company hereunder; upon payment in full of
the principal of and interest on the Bond, including any penalties (in the form of
interest or otherwise) owing hereunder and under the Bond, the Company shall not

Section 2.11. Prepayment of Bond. The Bond is subject to
prepayment prior to maturity, as follows:

and the County to the Bondholder, and payment to the Bondholder of:
W the principal amount of the Bond to be prepaid, plus
(ii) accrued interest to the date of prepayment at the applicable
rate; plus
(iii) if paid prior to February 1, 1987 (except as hereinafter
provided), a prepayment premium, which shall be the amount
calculated by multiplying the Penalty Rate (hereinafter
described) by the principal amount of the Bond to be prepaid,
by the number of days from the date of the prepayment to
February 1, 1987, divided by 365. The Penalty Rate shall be
seventeen and one-half percentum (17.50%) minus the
Reinvestment Rate (hereinafter defined). The Reinvestment
Rate shall be the annual interest rate on the date of
prepayment of the Bond equivalent to the highest yield--to-
maturity obligation of the United States Government which
{ matures within thirty (30) days prior to February 1, 1987, and
which is available on the date of prepayment.
The foregoing prepayment premium shall not be payable if the Company
determines and, within thirty (30) days thereafter, notifies the Bondholder in
writing that:
(1) The Project has been damaged or destroyed to the extent
that it cannot, in the judgment of the Company, be restored to its
original condition within a period of four (4) consecutive months;
(2) All or substantially all of the Project has been condemned so
that the Company, in its judgment, cannot carry on normal operations
therein; or
(3) There shall have occurred changes in market conditions or in
the economic availability of labor, raw materials, operating supplies or
facilities required for the continued operation of the Project and such
changes, in the opinion of the Company, render the continued operation
of the Project uneconomical.
2. The Bond may also be prepaid in whole upon the occurrence of a
"Determination of Taxability" (as defined in Section 4.2 hereof), without the
giving of prior notice of prepayment and payment to the Bondholder of:
W the principal amount of the Bond to be prepaid, plus
-12-
(ii) accrued interest to the date of prepayment, at the applicable
rate in accordance with the provisions of the Bond; plus
(ii0 any penalties (in the form of interest or otherwise) payable
by the Bondholder by reason of its having excluded any such
interest from its taxable income for the period beginning on
the date interest on the Bond is deemed to have become
taxable and ending with the date of the Determination of
Taxability.
3. The bond shall also be prepaid in any amount to the extent excess
moneys in the Project Fund are so applied as set forth in Section 2.2(d) hereof,
upon written instructions from the Company to the Project Fund Custodian
that such excess moneys are to be directly applied to such prepayment.
Section 2.12. Payment or Prepayments Hereunder. In the event of
the exercise of any of the options to prepay the Bond in whole or in part set forth in
Section 2.11 hereof, the Company shall have the obligation to prepay the payments
due hereunder in part or in full in an amount necessary to prepay the Bond in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 hereof; all such payments shall be
made directly to the Bondholder, as pledgee of the Issuer.

General Covenants

Section 3.1. Certain Covenants with Respect to the Bond.
(a) The Company covenants with the Issuer and the Bank that
substantially all of the proceeds of the Bond will be used to pay the costs of issuing
the Bond and the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing the Project as
defined herein and that Bond proceeds (including interest, if any, earned thereon)
will never be used so as to cause the loss of the exemption of interest on the Bond
from Federal income taxation under Section 103(b)(6)(D) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder.
(b) The Company reasonably expects, and hereby certifies and
represents to the Issuer and the Bondholder that it reasonably expects that the
proceeds of the Bond will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bond to be
classified as an "arbitrage bond" under Section 103(c) of the Code and regulations
thereunder. To the best knowledge and belief of the Company, there are no facts or
circumstances that would materially change the foregoing conclusion.
The Issuer hereby certifies to the Company that it has not been notified
of any listing or proposed listing of it by the Internal Revenue Service as a bond
issuer whose arbitrage certification may not be relied upon.
The Company certifies to and covenants with the Bondholder that so long
as any portion of the Bond remains outstanding, moneys on deposit in any fund or
1 account in connection with the Bond, whether or not such moneys were derived from
-13-
the proceeds of the sale of the Bond or from any other sources, will not be used in a
manner which will cause the Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of
the Code and the regulations thereunder.
(c) The Company shall file orcause to be filed with the Internal
Revenue Service of the United States Treasury Department or any other authorized
governmental agency any and all statements or other instruments required under the
Code (including Section 103 thereof) and regulations thereunder, if any, in order that
the interest on the Bond shall continue to be excludable from the gross income of
the Bondholder for Federal income tax purposes.
Section 3.2.. Payment of Bond. The Issuer covenants that it will
promptly pay the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Bond

under the Bond are payable solely from payments derived hereunder, and otherwise
as provided in this Agreement which payments are specifically pledged to the
payment of the Bond in the manner and to the extent herein and in the Pledge
specified, and nothing in the Bond or in the Pledge shall be considered as pledging
any funds or assets other than the Issuer's interest in this Agreement. The Bond and
the interest thereon shall never be deemed to constitute an indebtedness of the
State of Minnesota, or of the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota or any other political
subdivision, within the meaning of any state constitutional provision or statutory
limitation and shall never constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of the
governing body of the State of Minnesota or the Issuer or a charge against its
general credit or taxing power, and neither the State of Minnesota or the City of
Eden Prairie, Minnesota nor any political subdivision thereof, shall be obligated to
pay the Bond or the interest thereon or other amounts payable thereunder, except
from the payments pledged therefor.
Section 3.3. Payment Obligations of the Company. The Company
agrees to make prompt payment of the payments required to be made hereunder
pursuant to the terms hereof. In the event the Company should fail to make any of
the payments required hereunder, the item or installment so in default shall

fully paid, and the Company agrees to pay the same with interest on overdue
payments attributable to principal and, to the extent legally enforceable, interest,
and other payments due under the Bond at the rate per annum equal to the "Prime
Rate" of the Bank (hereinafter defined) plus 2% (hereinafter referred to as the
"Overdue Rate"), until paid. "Prime Rate" means at any time, the rate of interest
most recently announced by the Bank as such, with the understanding that the Bank's
Prime Rate is one of its base rates and serves as the basis upon which effective
rates of interest are calculated for its loans making reference thereto, and is
evidenced by the recording thereof after its announcement in such internal
publication or publications as the Bank may designate. All changes in the Prime
Rate shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. prevailing time in Los Angeles, California,
on the day on which such announcement shall be made.
Section 3.4. Unconditional Obligation of Company. The obligations
of the Company to make the payments required to be made hereunder and to
perform and observe the other agreements on its part contained herein shall be
-14-
absolute and unconditional without regard to the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Bond or the Pledge and without regard to any advance, set off
or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the
Company against the Issuer or by the Issuer against the Bank and which constitutes,
or might be construed to constitute an equitable or legal discharge of the Company
or the Issuer for payments by the Issuer under the Bond or by the Company under
this Agreement, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. Until such time as the
principal of and interest on the Bond shall have been fully paid, the Company W will
not suspend or discontinue any payments required to be made hereunder, (ii) will
perform and observe all its other agreements contained in this Agreement and (iii)
will not terminate its obligations hereunder for any cause including, without limiting
-the generality of -the foregoing, any acts or circumstances that may constitute
failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to the Project, any change in the
tax or other laws of the United States of America or of the State of Minnesota or
any political subdivision of either, or any failure of the Issuer to perform and
observe any agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or
obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Nothing contained in
this Section shall be construed to release the Issuer from the performance of any of
the agreements on its part contained herein.

to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its officers, employees and agents,
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liability to which the Issuer, its

with the issuance and sale of the Bond, the carrying out of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the conduct of any activity in the Project, and
to reimburse the Issuer, its officers, employees and agents for any out-of-pocket

cooperate in the making of any investigation in defense of any such claim, and upon
-15-
request of the Company promptly to assert any or all of the rights and privileges and

Taxability; such amount (including an amount equal to the difference between the
interest paid on the Bond at the Regular Rate during such period and the interest
that would have accrued on the Bond during such period had the interest rate on the
Bond during such period been equal to the Adjusted Rate) any penalties (in the form
of interest or otherwise) shall be paid on the interest payment date next succeeding

evidenced by the recording thereof after its announcement in such internal
publication or publications as the Bank may designate. All changes in the Prime
Rate shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. prevailing time in Los Angeles, California,
on the day on which such announcement shall be made. "Margin Rate Factor" shall

an amount equal to the difference between the interest paid on the Bond at the
Regular Rate during such period and the interest that would have accrued on the
Bond during such period had the interest rate on the Bond during such period been
equal to the Adjusted Rate shall be paid on the interest payment date next
succeeding the Determination of Taxability, or in the event this Bond has been
theretofore paid, on a date no later than 30 days next succeeding the date of the
Determination of Taxability. The provisions contained in this paragraph shall
survive the payment of this Bond.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the
Adjusted Rate would be at any time or would at any time cause this Bond to be in
violation of the usury laws of the State of Minnesota, the Adjusted Rate shall be the
highest rate permitted by law, which would not cause this Bond to violate such usury
laws.
