Section 3.10. Business Subsidy Agreement. The provisions of this Section constitute the "business subsidy agreement" in connection with the business subsidy provided by the City, the Authority,and the County for the purposes of the Business Subsidy Act. (a) General Terms. The parties agree and represent to each other as follows: (1) The business subsidy provided to the Developer under this Agreement consists of (i)the City Abatement; (ii) the County Abatement; (iii) the City Development Assistance; and 428656v15 JAE SH155-316 10 (iv) the Authority Loan. All such payments and grants represent forgivable loans that are repayable by the Developer in accordance with this Section. (2) The public purposes of the subsidies are to provide employment opportunities, increase the tax base of the City and the County and encourage economic development within the City and the County. (3) The goals for the subsidies are to secure development of the Minimum Improvements, to maintain the Minimum Improvements as a manufacturing facility, call center and office facility for at least five years as described in clause (6) below, and to create the jobs and wage levels in accordance with Section 3.10(b)hereof. (4) If the goals described in clause (3) are not met, the Developer must make the payments to the City described in Section 3.10(c). (5) The subsidies are needed to induce the Developer to locate its operations in the City, thus enhancing job and tax base growth for the City,the County, and the State as a whole. Absent the subsidy provided in this Agreement,the expansion would likely occur in another city. (6) The Developer must continue operation of the Minimum Improvements as manufacturing facility, call center, and office center for at least five years after the date of the Developer occupies the Minimum Improvements,which shall be evidenced by the issuance of the Certificate of Completion. (7) In addition to the subsidies described in this Section 3.10(a), the Developer has also received financial assistance from the following other"grantors" as defined in the Business Subsidy Act, in connection with the Development Property or the Minimum Improvements: a grant from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development/Minnesota Job Skills Partnership in the amount of$377,955. (b) Job and Wage Goals. Within two years after the date of issuance of the Certificate of Completion of the Minimum Improvements (the "Compliance Date"), the Developer shall cause to be created at least 258 new full-time equivalent jobs on the Development Property and shall cause the wages for all employees on the Development Property to be no less than an average of $18.78 per hour, exclusive of benefits (based on Gross Salary). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the wage and job goals described in this paragraph are met by the Compliance Date,those goals are deemed satisfied despite the Developer's continuing obligations under Sections 3.10(a)(6)and 3.10(d). The City, the Authority, and the County may, after public hearings held by the respective governing body and approval by both bodies, extend the Compliance Date by up to one year, provided that nothing in this section will be construed to limit the City's, the Authority's, or the County's legislative discretion regarding this matter. (c) Remedies. If the Developer fails to meet the goals described in Section 3.10(a)(3), this Agreement will be deemed terminated, and the Developer shall repay to the City upon written demand from the City a"pro rata share"of the City Abatement and the County Abatement, if any, as well as a pro rata share of the amounts disbursed to Developer with respect to the City Development Assistance. Any prorated repayment terms with respect to the Authority Loan will be pursuant to the agreed upon terms set forth in the negotiated agreement between Developer, the City and the Authority. The term "pro rata share"means percentages calculated as follows: 428656v15 JAE SH155-316 11 (i) Jobs Pro Rata Share-_if the failure relates to the number of jobs,the jobs required less the jobs created,divided by the jobs required. For example, if Developer actually creates 200 jobs,the Jobs Pro Rata Share shall be(258-200)/258=Jobs Pro Rata Share; (ii) Wage Pro Rata Share-if the failure relates to wages,the number of jobs required less the number of jobs that meet the required wages,divided by the number of jobs required. For example, if Developer actually creates only 200 jobs meeting the average of $18.78 per hour wage requirement,the Wage Pro Rata Share shall be(258-200)/258=Wage Pro Rata Share; (iii) Operations Pro Rata Share - if the failure relates to maintenance of the manufacturing facility, call center, and office facility in accordance with Section 3.10(a)(6), 60 less the number of months of operation as a manufacturing facility, call center, and office facility (where any month in which the facility is in operation for at least 15 days constitutes a month of operation), commencing on the date of the certificate of occupancy (May 27, 2014) and ending with the date the facility ceases operation as determined by the City, divided by 60. For example, if Developer actually operates the Minimum Improvements in Minnesota for 50 months following the issuance of the certification of occupancy, the Operations Pro Rata Share shall be (60-50)/60 =Operations Pro Rata Share;and (iv) if more than one of clauses (i) through (iii) apply, the sum of the applicable percentages,not to exceed 100%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instead of terminating the payment of the City Abatement, the County Abatement, the City Development Assistance, and the Authority Loan upon the Developer's failure to meet the goals described in Section 3.10(a)(3), the City, the Authority, and the County may independently determine to continue their respective payments under this Agreement but reduce the amount of such assistance using the pro rata reduction formula set forth above. Any amounts received under this Section by the City and related to payments of the City Abatement and the County Abatement shall be distributed between the City and the County based on the pro rata amount of Tax Abatements that have been paid by each entity to the Developer. Promptly upon receipt of any repayment by the Developer, the City will remit to the County a pro rata amount attributable to the Tax Abatements paid by the County. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the City's, Authority's, or County's remedies under Article IX hereof. In addition to the remedy described in this Section and any other remedy available to the City, the Authority, or the County for failure to meet the goals stated in Section 3.10(a)(3),the Developer agrees and understands that it may not a receive a business subsidy from the City, the Authority, the County, or any other grantor(as defined in the Business Subsidy Act) for a period of five years from the date of the failure or until the Developer satisfies its repayment obligation under this Section,whichever occurs first. (d) Reports. The Developer must submit to the City, with a copy to the Authority and the County, a written report regarding business subsidy goals and results by no later than March 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2014, and continuing until the later of (i) the date the goals stated in Section 3.10(a)(3) are met; (ii) 30 days after expiration of the five-year period described in Section 3.10(a)(6); or (iii) if the goals are not met, the date the subsidy is repaid in accordance with Section 3.10(c). The report must comply with Section 116J.994, subdivision 7 of the Business Subsidy Act and can be found on the website for Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (http://mn.gov/deed/government/business-subsidy/report-forms/index.jsp). Pursuant to Section 1161994, subd. 7(d) of the Business Subsidy Act, if the Developer fails to timely file any report required under this Section, the City will mail the Developer a warning within one week after the required filing date. If, after 14 days of the postmarked date of the warning,the Developer fails to provide a report,the Developer 428656vI5 JAE SH155-316 12 must pay to the City a penalty of$100 for each subsequent day until the report is filed. The maximum aggregate penalty payable under this Section is $1,000. The City will file, on behalf of the City, the Authority, and the County,any reports required to be filed with the State under the Business Subsidy Act. Section 3.11. Restrictions on Use. The Developer agrees that it shall operate the Minimum Improvements thereon as a manufacturing facility, office, and call center for the term of this Agreement; provided that after expiration of the five-year period described in Section 3.10(a)(6), the repayment remedy described in Section 3.10(c) will not be imposed on Developer for default under this Section However, if the Developer fails to operate the Minimum Improvements as a manufacturing facility, office, and call center for the term of this Agreement,the City or the County may decrease or discontinue the future payment of City Abatement or County Abatement,as applicable. Section 3.12. Job and Wage Maintenance. Pursuant to Section 3.10(b),the Developer shall cause to be created at least 258 new full-time equivalent jobs in the City. In addition,within five years after the date of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy of the Minimum Improvements (May 27,2014), the Developer shall cause to be created a total of 329 new full-time equivalent jobs (including the 258 jobs required by Section 3.10(b)). The Developer further covenants that within five years after the date the Developer occupies the Minimum Improvements, the Developer shall cause the jobs created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have an average wage of at least $18.78 or more, exclusive of benefits (based on Gross Salary). After the expiration of the reporting requirement set forth in Section 3.10(d) under the Business Subsidy Agreement,the Developer must continue to submit to the City,with a copy to the County, a report from the Developer's payroll application that shows the number of employees, their wage levels, along with benefits allocations, in order to determine whether the job and average wage requirements required under this Agreement continue to be met. The report must be filed no later than February 1 of each year during the term of this Agreement. If the Developer fails to meet and sustain the job and average wage requirements set forth in this Section 3.12 during the term of this Agreement, the County and the City may each independently determine whether to continue their respective payments under this Agreement, continue their respective payments but reduce the amount of County Abatement or City Abatement, terminate the payment of County Abatement or City Abatement, or pursue the remedies set forth in Section 9.2 hereof.

(a) [Reserved] (b) During the term of this Agreement, the Landlord shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, at its cost and expense, and from time to time at the request of the City or the County shall furnish proof of the payment of premiums on,insurance as follows: (i) Insurance against loss and/or damage to the Minimum Improvements under a policy or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses. (ii) Landlord and Developer will maintain comprehensive general public liability insurance, including personal injury liability (with employee exclusion deleted), against liability for injuries to persons and/or property, in the minimum amount for each occurrence and for each year of$2,000,000 and$5,000,000 in the aggregate. (iii) Such other insurance, including workers' compensation insurance respecting all employees of the respective Landlord or Developer, in such amount as is customarily carried by like organizations engaged in like activities of comparable size and liability exposure; provided that the Developer may be self-insured with respect to all or any part of its liability for workers' compensation. (c) All insurance required in Article V of this Agreement shall be taken out and maintained in responsible insurance companies selected as appropriate by the Landlord or Developer which are authorized under the laws of the State to assume the risks covered thereby. Upon reasonable request,the Landlord and/or the Developer will deposit or cause to be deposited with the City certificates of insurance evidencing that such insurance is in force and effect. In lieu of separate policies as outlined in the lease between Landlord and Developer dated July 30, 2013, the Landlord and/or Developer may maintain or cause to be maintained a single policy, blanket or umbrella policies, or a combination thereof, having the coverage required herein. (d) The Landlord will notify the City, the Authority, and the County promptly in the case of damage exceeding$1,000,000 in amount to, or destruction of,the Minimum Improvements or any portion thereof resulting from fire or other casualty. In such event the Landlord will promptly repair, reconstruct and restore the Minimum Improvements to substantially the same or an improved condition or value as it existed prior to the event causing such damage, or with modifications to the Minimum Improvements that are approved by the City, the Authority, and the County in writing, and, to the extent necessary to accomplish such repair, reconstruction and restoration, the Landlord will apply the net proceeds of any insurance relating to such damage received by the Landlord to the payment or reimbursement of the costs thereof. A request to the City, the Authority, and the County to approve modifications to the Minimum Improvements prior to repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Minimum Improvements shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any failure to request such certificate if not received by the Landlord shall constitute a waiver of the Landlord's responsibilities under this Article V.

The Developer acknowledges that the City, Authority, and County are providing substantial aid and assistance in furtherance of the Project pursuant to this Agreement. The Developer understands that the City Abatement and County Abatement pledged pursuant to this Agreement are derived from real estate taxes on the Development Property, which taxes must be promptly and timely paid. To that end, so long as the Lease remains in effect, the Developer agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, that it is also obligated by reason of this Agreement and pursuant to its lease with the Landlord to pay before delinquency all real estate taxes assessed against the Development Property and the Minimum Improvements during the term of the Lease. The Developer acknowledges that this obligation creates a contractual right on behalf of the City, the Authority, or the County to sue the Developer or its successors and assigns to collect delinquent real estate taxes and any penalty or interest thereon and to pay over the same as a tax payment to the County auditor. In any such suit, the City, the Authority, and the County shall also be entitled to recover their costs, expenses and reasonable attorney fees. Section 6.2. Reduction of Taxes. Prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Developer will not (a) cause a reduction in the real property taxes paid in respect of the Development Property through willful destruction of the Minimum Improvements or any part thereof; (b)fail to reconstruct the Minimum Improvements if damaged or destroyed, as required under Section 5.1(d) hereof; or(c) convey or transfer or allow conveyance or transfer of its leasehold interests in the Development Property to any entity that is exempt from payment of real property taxes under State law. The Developer may seek a reduction of the assessor's estimated market value of the Development Property. However, such activity must be preceded by written notice from the Developer to the City and the County indicating its intention to do so. Upon receiving such notice,the City and/or the County may suspend or reduce payments of the City Available Abatement or the County Available Abatement, as applicable, until the actual amount of the reduction in market value of the Development Property is determined, whereupon the City and the County will make the suspended payments of City Available Abatement or County Available Abatement, less any amount that the City and/or the County are required to repay the County as a result of any retroactive reduction in market value of the Development Property. During the period that the payments of City Available Abatement or County Available Abatement are subject to suspension, the City and the County may make partial payments of City Available Abatement or County Available Abatement, as applicable, from the amounts subject to suspension, if each determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the amount retained will be sufficient to cover any repayment of property taxes which the County may require. The suspension of payments pursuant to this Section shall not be considered a default under Section 9.1 hereof.
