Contract for Private Development for the former Shakopee Gravel site.
Michael Kerski, Planning and Development Director
Michael Kerski
Action to be considered:
Approve
Motion Type:
Simple Majority
Background:
In 2023, the Minnesota Legislature approved special legislation allowing the City of
Shakopee to establish a Soil Deficiency Tax Increment Financing District to facilitate
redevelopment of the former Shakopee Gravel Pit property. The approximately 130 -acre
site contains significant soil deficiencies and unusual terrain that require substantial
grading, fill, and public infrastructure improvements before development can occur.
Following several years of marketing the property and evaluating redevelopment
alternatives, Eagle Ventures, LLC has entered into an agreement to acquire the property
and construct a mixed -use development consisting of single-family homes, attached and
detached townhomes, multifamily housing, commercial development, public parks, trails,
utilities, streets, and other public improvements. Development is anticipated to occur in
multiple phases over approximately nine years.
To facilitate the redevelopment, the EDA has negotiated a Contract for Private
Redevelopment that establishes the terms and conditions under which the developer
may receive reimbursement for eligible Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs through
tax increment financing generated by Soil Deficiency Tax Increment Financing District No.
22.
The Development Agreement provides for:
• Construction of the public infrastructure necessary to support redevelopment of the
property.
• Correction of the site's unusual terrain and soil deficiencies.
• Issuance of a Tax Increment Revenue Note in an amount not to exceed $44,575,582
5
• Reimbursement solely from Available Tax Increment generated within the TIF
District.
• No pledge of the City's or EDA's general taxing authority or other revenues.
• Reimbursement only for eligible Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs as permitted
under Minnesota law and the special legislation.
• Completion of the required public improvements within the timeframes established
in the Agreement.
• Ongoing reporting, certification of eligible costs, and compliance with all applicable
state and local requirements.
The Tax Increment Revenue Note is a pay-as-you-go obligation. Payments are made only
from Available Tax Increment actually received by the EDA. If sufficient tax increment is
not generated, the EDA has no obligation to make payments from any other source.
The proposed redevelopment advances several City strategic objectives by:
• Redeveloping a long -vacant and underutilized property.
• Expanding housing opportunities through a variety of housing types.
• Creating future commercial development opportunities.
• Constructing significant public infrastructure and park amenities.
• Increasing the City's long-term tax base.
• Supporting continued economic growth and investment in Shakopee.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution E2026-005 for the Contract for Private Redevelopment between the
Economic Development Authority for the City of Shakopee and Eagle Ventures, LLC and
authorizing the President and Executive Director to execute the Agreement and related
documents.
Budget Impact:
The maximum principal amount of the Tax Increment Revenue Note is $44,575,582.
Payments are limited solely to Available Tax Increment generated by Tax Increment
Financing District No. 22. The Agreement does not constitute a general obligation of
either the City or the EDA and does not pledge the full faith and credit or taxing authority
of either entity.

Nothing in this Section will be construed to limit or affect any limitations on liability of the City or Authority
under State or federal law, including without limitation Minnesota Statutes, Sections 466.04 and 604.02.
Section 3.3. Redevelopment Property, Developer Improvements, and Correction of Soil
Deficiencies.

complete the Developer Improvements on or before a date no later than five (5) years after the date the
TIF District is certified, subject to Unavoidable Delays.

Section 3.5. Issuance of TIF Note and Principal Advances.
(a) Terms. In order to reimburse the Master Developer for the Qualified Public Redevelopment
Costs, the Authority shall issue and Master Developer shall purchase the TIF Note in the maximum principal
amount of $44,575,582, substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B. The Authority and the
Master Developer agree that the TIF Note shall be issued in consideration of the Master Developer paying the
Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs. Before delivery of the TIF Note, the Master Developer shall have:
(i) submitted the Construction Plans to the Authority and obtained approval for the
Construction Plans from the Authority;
(ii) submitted and obtained Authority approval of financing in accordance with
Section 7.1 hereof;
(iii) delivered to the Authority written evidence in a form satisfactory to the Authority
that the Master Developer has paid Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs in at least the principal
amount of $1,000,000;
(iv) delivered to the Authority an investment letter in a form reasonably satisfactory to
the Authority; and
(v) delivered to the Authority a title company settlement statement or other evidence
of payment of the costs of the Redevelopment Property.
(b) Principal Advances. Following the satisfaction of the requirements in Section 3.5(a) hereof,
and on any date, the Master Developer may request the Authority enter an advance of principal under the TIF
Note (a "Principal Advance") on the ledger of such advances maintained by the registrar (the "Principal
Advance Ledger"), by submitting to the Authority a Principal Advance Certificate in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT D signed by the Master Developer's duly authorized representative, containing the
following: (i) a statement that each cost identified in the Principal Advance Certificate is a Qualified Public
Redevelopment Cost reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof and that no part of such cost has been
included in any previous Principal Advance Certificate; (ii) evidence that each identified Qualified Public
Redevelopment Cost has been paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Master Developer; (iii) a certification
from the Consulting Engineer that the Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs have been completed based on
the Developer Improvements Requirements; (iv) a statement that no uncured Event of Default by the Master
Developer has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement; (v) a statement describing the type and
amount of Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs that were expended outside the TIF District, but within the
Project Area, if any; and (vi) a statement that the expenditures for which reimbursement is requested
complies with Section 4.5 hereof. The Master Developer may submit one (1) Principal Advance Certificate
per month to the Authority.
Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Principal Advance Certificate, the Authority shall, if
the Authority Representative has determined that all the aforementioned requirements have been satisfied, so
notify the Master Developer and direct the registrar to enter the amount requested in the Principal Advance
Ledger on the next February 1 or August 1, provided that the aggregate amount of sums entered on the
Principal Advance Ledger shall not exceed $44,575,582. The Authority may, if not satisfied that the
conditions described herein have been met, return the Principal Advance Certificate with a statement of the
reasons why the Principal Advance Certificate is not acceptable and requesting such further documentation or
clarification as the Authority may reasonably require. Failure by the Authority to notify the Master
Developer of any objections within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Principal Advance Certificate will be
deemed acceptance thereof.
10
200246008v4
21
(c) Payment on TIF Note Solely from Available Tax Increment. Principal and interest
payments on the T1F Note shall be payable each Payment Date solely with Available Tax Increment. The
Master Developer understands and acknowledges that the Authority makes no representations or
warranties regarding the amount of Available Tax Increment, or that revenues pledged to the TIF Note
will be sufficient to pay the principal of the TIF Note. The Authority will only make payments on the TIF
Note in the amount of the remaining Available Tax Increment.
(d) Termination of Right to TIF Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if the conditions for delivery of the TIF Note set forth in Section 3.5(a) are not met by
[ ], the Authority may terminate this Agreement by ten (10) days' written notice to the Master
Developer. Thereafter neither Party shall have any obligations or liability to the other hereunder, except that
any obligations of the Master Developer under Sections 3.11 and 8.3 hereof survive such termination.
(e) Qualifications. The Master Developer understands and acknowledges that the Authority
makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of Available Tax Increment, or that
revenues pledged to the TIF Note will be sufficient to pay the principal of the TIF Note. Any estimates of
Tax Increment prepared by the Authority or its financial advisors in connection with the TIF District or
this Agreement are for the benefit of the Authority, and are not intended as representations on which the
Master Developer may rely. If the Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs exceed the principal amount of
the TIF Note, such excess is the sole responsibility of Master Developer.
Section 3.6. No Business Subsidy. Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.993, subdivision 3(17)
provides an exception from the Business Subsidy Act for housing projects and for redevelopment when the
recipient's investment in the purchase of the site and in site preparation is seventy percent (70%) or more of
the assessor's current year's estimated market value.
In order to use this exception, the Master Developer warrants and represents that its investment in the
purchase of the Redevelopment Property and the site preparation on such Redevelopment Property (net of
any portion of such costs to be reimbursed with tax increment or any other subsidies provided by the
Authority) will equal at least seventy percent (70%) of the County assessor's estimated market value for the
Redevelopment Property for the 2026 assessment year, calculated as follows:
Redevelopment Property cost $ 12,000,000
Plus Estimated cost of site preparation $ 70,000,000
Equals land cost and site preparation $ 82,000,000
2026 Assessor's Estimated Fair Market Value
of Redevelopment Property $ 5,775,600
$82,000,000.00 (acquisition and site preparation cost) less $44,575,582.00 (amount of financial
assistance provided by Authority for Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs), equals $37,424,418.00
which is 647% of $5,775,600.00 (assessor's current estimated fair market value)
Therefore, the Master Developer is not required to comply with the requirements of the Business
Subsidy Act.
Section 3.7. Payment of Authority Costs. The Master Developer has deposited with the Authority
$12,000 to pay Administrative Costs of the Authority. The Authority has used such deposit to pay
11
200246008v4
22
"Administrative Costs," which term means out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Authority, together with
staff and consultant costs of the Authority, all attributable to or incurred in connection with the
negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, the TIF Plan, and other documents and agreements in
connection with the establishment of the TIF District and redevelopment of the Redevelopment Property,
and not previously paid by the Master Developer. The Authority will reimburse itself for all other
Administrative Costs with Tax Increment. If the TIF District does not produce a sufficient amount of Tax
Increment to pay the Authority's remaining Administrative Costs, the Master Developer shall pay any
remaining Administrative Costs of the Authority upon demand.
Section 3.8. Expenditures Outside TIF District. The Master Developer and the Authority understand
and acknowledge that no more than 80% of the Tax Increment may be used for expenditures for items
outside the TIF District but within the Project Area. 10% of the Tax Increment has been set aside to pay the
Authority's administrative costs of the TIF District. The 70% of Tax Increment may be used by the Master
Developer for costs outside the TIF District, but within the Project Area. The Master Developer and the
Authority will work cooperatively to ensure that no more than 70% of costs reimbursed with Tax Increment
are expended outside the TIF District.

Construction Plans shall continue to apply until the Construction Plans have been approved by the City and
the Authority. The City and the Authority's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Said approval shall
constitute a conclusive determination that the Construction Plans (and the Developer Improvements,
constructed in accordance with said plans) comply to the City and the Authority's satisfaction with the
provisions of this Agreement relating thereto. The City (and as applicable, the State and the County) shall
approve the Construction Plans pursuant to their customary approval process.
(b) If the Master Developer desires to make any Material Change in the Construction Plans
or any component thereof after their approval by the City and the Authority, the Master Developer shall

previously approved Construction Plans, the City and the Authority shall approve the proposed change
and notify the Master Developer in writing of its approval. The City and the Authority shall notify the
Master Developer of any rejection of the Construction Plans, and set forth in detail the reasons for the

Unavoidable Delays. All work with respect to the Developer Improvements to be constructed or provided by
the Master Developer on the Redevelopment Property shall be in conformity with the Construction Plans as

shall promptly begin and diligently prosecute to completion the development of the Developer
Improvements, and that such construction shall in any event be commenced and paid for within the period

Improvements has been completed, the Master Developer shall make reports, in such detail and at such times
as may reasonably be requested by the Authority, as to the actual progress of the Master Developer with
respect to such construction.
Section 4.4. Certificates of Completion.
(a) Promptly after construction and acceptance of the Developer Improvements in accordance
with those provisions of the Agreement, the Authority Representative will furnish the Master Developer with
a Certificate of Completion as shown in EXHIBIT C attached hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City
acknowledges that Master Developer will, subsequent to the subdivision and creation of Lots and the
completion of the Developer Improvements upon a Lot, be entitled to receive a Certificate of Completion
with respect to individual Lots or groups of Lots, notwithstanding the fact that the Developer Improvements
with respect to other portions of the Redevelopment Property are not complete.
(b) If the Authority Representative shall refuse or fail to provide any certification in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 4.4, the Authority Representative shall, within thirty (30) days after written
request by the Master Developer, provide the Master Developer with a written statement, indicating in
adequate detail in what respects the Master Developer has failed to construct the Developer Improvements in
accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts will
be necessary, in the opinion of the Authority, for the Master Developer to take or perform in order to obtain
such certification.
(c) The construction of the Developer Improvements shall be deemed to be complete upon a
determination by the Authority Representative, in its reasonable discretion, that the Developer Improvements
have been substantially completed in accordance with approved Construction Plans, the Redevelopment
Project Requirements, and the Developer Improvements Requirements, as applicable.

Section 5.1. Insurance.
(a) The Master Developer will provide and maintain at all times during the process of correcting
the Soil Deficiencies and constructing the Developer Improvements the insurance required by the Developer
Improvements Requirements.
(b) All insurance shall be taken out and maintained in responsible insurance companies selected
by the Master Developer that are authorized under the laws of the State to assume the risks covered thereby.
Upon request, the Master Developer will deposit annually with the Authority policies evidencing all such
insurance, or a certificate or certificates or binders of the respective insurers stating that such insurance is in
force and effect.
(c) The Master Developer agrees to notify the Authority immediately in the case of damage
exceeding $500,000 in amount to, or destruction of, the Developer Improvements, or any portion thereof
resulting from fire or other casualty. In such event the Master Developer will promptly repair, reconstruct,
and restore the Developer Improvements to substantially the same or an improved condition or value as it
existed prior to the event causing such damage and, to the extent necessary to accomplish such repair,
reconstruction, and restoration, the Master Developer will apply the net proceeds of any insurance relating to
such damage received by the Master Developer to the payment or reimbursement of the costs thereof.
The Master Developer shall complete the repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Developer
Improvements, regardless of whether the net proceeds of insurance received by the Master Developer for
such purposes are sufficient to pay for the same. Any net proceeds remaining after completion of such
repairs, construction, and restoration shall be the property of the Master Developer.
(d) The Master Developer and the Authority agree that all of the insurance provisions set forth
in this Article V regarding the Developer Improvements shall terminate with respect to any portion of the
Redevelopment Property for which the conditions required for the issuance of a Certificate of Completion
have been satisfied.
Section 5.2. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the
Authority and the City with respect to the receipt and application of any insurance proceeds shall, in all
respects, be subordinate and subject to the rights of any Holder under a Mortgage allowed pursuant to

ARTICLE VI
Tax Increment; Taxes
Section 6.1. Right to Collect Delinquent Taxes. The Master Developer acknowledges that the
Authority is providing substantial aid and assistance in furtherance of the Redevelopment Project through the
issuance of the TIF Note. The Master Developer understands that the Tax Increment pledged to payments on
the T1F Note are derived from real estate taxes on the Redevelopment Property, which taxes must be
promptly and timely paid. To that end, the Master Developer agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, in
addition to the obligation pursuant to statute to pay real estate taxes, that it is also obligated by reason of this
Agreement to pay before delinquency all real estate taxes assessed against each Lot of the Redevelopment
Property and the Developer Improvements until both of the following occur: (a) Master Developer has
satisfied all requirements for the issuance of a Certificate of Completion with respect to such Lot and (b)
Master Developer has conveyed title to the Lot to any third party not affiliated with Master Developer. The
Master Developer acknowledges that this obligation creates a contractual right on behalf of the Authority to
sue the Master 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
Authority shall also be entitled to recover its costs, expenses and reasonable attorney fees.
Section 6.2. Reduction of Taxes. The Master Developer agrees that, with respect to any portion of
the Redevelopment Property to which Master Developer holds title, prior to the Maturity Date it will not
cause a reduction in the real property taxes paid in respect to such portion of the Redevelopment Property
through: (A) willful destruction of such portion of the Redevelopment Property or any part thereof or (B)
willful refusal to reconstruct damaged or destroyed property. The Master Developer also agrees that, with
respect to any portion of the Redevelopment Property to which Master Developer holds title, it will not, prior
to the Maturity Date, seek exemption from property tax for the Redevelopment Property or any portion
thereof or transfer or permit the transfer of the Redevelopment Property to any entity that is exempt from real
property taxes and state law (other than any portion thereof dedicated or conveyed to the City or the County
in accordance with platting of the Redevelopment Property or for public improvements, right-of-way, or
storm water ponding), or apply for a deferral of property tax on the Redevelopment Property pursuant to any
law.
Section 6.3. Real Property Taxes Prior to Sale of Redevelopment Property. The Master Developer
acknowledges that it is obligated under law to pay all real property taxes payable with respect to all and
any parts of the Redevelopment Property to which it holds title.
The Master Developer agrees that, with respect to any portion of the Redevelopment Property to
which Master Developer holds title, until the Maturity Date:
(1) It will not seek administrative review or judicial review of the applicability of any tax
statute relating to the taxation of real property contained on the Redevelopment Property determined by
any tax official to be applicable to the Project or the Master Developer or raise the inapplicability of any
such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings with respect to the Development Property, including
delinquent tax proceedings; provided, however, "tax statute" does not include any local ordinance or
resolution levying a tax;
(2) It will not seek administrative review or judicial review of the constitutionality of any tax
statute relating to the taxation of real property contained on the Redevelopment Property determined by
any tax official to be applicable to the Redevelopment Project or the Master Developer or raise the
unconstitutionality of any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings with respect to the
16
200246008v4
27
Redevelopment Property, including delinquent tax proceedings; provided, however, "tax statute" does not
include any local ordinance or resolution levying a tax;
(3) It will not seek any tax deferral or abatement, either presently or prospectively authorized
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1813, or any other State or federal law, of the ad valorem property
taxation of the Redevelopment Property between the date of execution of this Agreement and the
Maturity Date; and
(4) It will not seek a reduction in the market value as determined by the Scott County
Assessor of the Redevelopment Project or other facilities, if any, that it constructs on the Redevelopment
Property, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, for so long as the TIF Note remains outstanding.
Section 6.4. Real Property Taxes After Sale of Redevelopment Property. Until the Maturity Date, if
the Master Developer transfers a portion of the Redevelopment Property to an entity that is not an affiliate of
the Master Developer, the transferee may seek through petition or other means to have the County Assessor's
estimated market value for the Redevelopment Property reduced, but upon learning of the transferees'
intentions, the Authority may suspend payments due under the TIF Note until the actual amount of the
reduction is determined, whereupon the Authority will make the suspended payments less any amount that
the Authority is required to repay the County as a result of any reduction in market value of the
Redevelopment Property. During the period that the payments are subject to suspension, the Authority may
make partial payments on the TIF Note if it determines, in its sole and absolute discretion that the amount
retained will be sufficient to cover any repayment which the County may require. The Authority's
suspension of payments on the TIF Note pursuant to this Section shall not be considered a default under
Section 9.1 hereof.

ARTICLE VII
Other Financing
Section 7.1. Generally. Before issuance of the TIF Note, the Master Developer shall submit to the
Authority or provide access thereto for review by Authority staff, consultants, and agents, evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Authority that Master Developer has available funds, or commitments to obtain
funds, whether in the nature of mortgage financing, equity, grants, loans, or other sources sufficient for
paying the cost of the constructing the Developer Improvements, provided that any lender or grantor
commitments shall be subject only to such conditions as are normal and customary in the commercial lending
industry.
Section 7.2. Authority's Option to Cure Default on Mortgage. In the event that any portion of the
Master Developer's funds is provided through mortgage financing, and there occurs a default under any
Mortgage authorized pursuant to this Article VII, the Master Developer shall cause the Authority to receive
copies of any notice of default received by the Master Developer from the Holder of such Mortgage.
Thereafter, the Authority shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such default on behalf of the
Master Developer within such cure periods as are available to the Master Developer under the Mortgage
documents.

ARTICLE VIII
Prohibitions Against Assignment and Transfer; Indemnification
Section 8.1. Representation as to Redevelopment. The Master Developer represents and agrees that
its purchase of the Redevelopment Property, and its other undertakings pursuant to the Agreement, are, and
will be used, for the purpose of development of the Redevelopment Property and not for speculation in land
holding.
Section 8.2. Prohibition Against Master Developer's Transfer of Property and Assignment of
Agreement. The Master Developer represents and agrees that prior to the completion of the Developer
Improvements with respect to any portion of the Redevelopment Property that Master Redeveloper proposes
to sell, assign, convey, lease or otherwise transfer (the "Transferring Redevelopment Property"):
(a) Except only by way of security for, and only for, the purpose of obtaining financing
necessary to enable the Master Developer or any successor in interest to the Redevelopment Property, or any
part thereof, to perform its obligations with respect to undertaking the development contemplated under this
Agreement, and any other purpose authorized by this Agreement, the Master Developer has not made or
created and will not make or create or suffer to be made or created any total or partial sale, assignment,
conveyance, or lease, or any trust or power, or transfer in any other mode or form of or with respect to this
Agreement or the Transferred Redevelopment Property or any interest therein to any person or entity whether
or not related in any way to the Master Developer (collectively, a "Transfer"), without the prior written
approval of the Authority (whose approval will not be unreasonably withheld, subject to the standards
described in paragraph (b) of this Section) unless the Master Developer remains liable and bound by this
Agreement in which event the Authority's approval is not required. Any such Transfer shall be subject to the
provisions of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term Transfer does not include
acquisition of a controlling interest in Master Developer by another entity or merger of Master Developer
with another entity.
(b) In the event the Master Developer, upon Transfer of the Transferring Redevelopment
Property, seeks to be released from its obligations under this Agreement as to the Transferring
Redevelopment Property, the Authority shall be entitled to require, except as otherwise provided in the
Agreement, as conditions to any such release that:
(i) Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility, in
the reasonable judgment of the Authority, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations
undertaken in this Agreement by the Master Developer as to the Transferring Redevelopment
Property to be transferred.
(ii) Any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the Authority
shall, for itself and its successors and assigns, and expressly for the benefit of the Authority, have
expressly assumed all of the obligations of the Master Developer under this Agreement as to the
Transferring Redevelopment Property and Developer Improvements to be transferred and agreed to
be subject to all the conditions and restrictions to which the Master Developer is subject as to such
portion; provided, however, that the fact that any transferee of, or any other successor in interest
whatsoever to, the Transferring Redevelopment Property and Developer Improvements, or any part
thereof, shall not, for whatever reason, have assumed such obligations or so agreed, and shall not
(unless and only to the extent otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or agreed to in
writing by the Authority) deprive the Authority of any rights or remedies or controls with respect to
the Redevelopment Property, the Developer Improvements or any part thereof or the construction of
19
200246008v4
30
the Developer Improvements; it being the intent of the parties as expressed in this Agreement that (to
the fullest extent permitted at law and in equity and excepting only in the manner and to the extent
specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement) no transfer of, or change with respect to,
ownership in the Transferring Redevelopment Property, the Developer Improvements or any part
thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated or occurring, and whether voluntary or
involuntary, shall operate, legally, or practically, to deprive or limit the Authority of or with respect
to any rights or remedies on controls provided in or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the
Transferring Redevelopment Property and Developer Improvements that the Authority would have
had, had there been no such transfer or change. In the absence of specific written agreement by the
Authority to the contrary, no such transfer or approval by the Authority thereof shall be deemed to
relieve the Master Developer, or any other Party bound in any way by this Agreement or otherwise
with respect to the Transferring Redevelopment Property and Developer Improvements, from any of
its obligations with respect thereto.
(iii) Any and all instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting the transfer
of any interest in this Agreement or the Redevelopment Property governed by this Article VIII, shall
be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Authority.
In the event the foregoing conditions are satisfied then the Master Developer shall be released from its
obligation under this Agreement, as to the portion of the Transferring Redevelopment Property.
Section 8.3. Release and Indemnification Covenants.
(a) The Master Developer releases from and covenants and agrees that the Authority, the City,
and the governing body members, officers, agents, servants, and employees thereof (the "Indemnified
Parties") shall not be liable for and agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties against any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person occurring
at or about or resulting from any defect in the Developer Improvements (until acceptance of the Developer
Improvements by the City pursuant to the Developer Improvements Requirements) or the Redevelopment
Property.
(b) Except for any willful misrepresentation or any willful or wanton misconduct or negligence
of the Indemnified Parties, and except for any breach by any of the Indemnified Parties of their obligations
under this Agreement, the Master Developer agrees to protect and defend the Indemnified Parties, now and
forever, and further agrees to hold the aforesaid harmless from any claim, demand, suit, action, or other
proceeding whatsoever by any person or entity whatsoever arising or purportedly arising from this
Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or the acquisition, construction, installation, ownership,
maintenance, and operation of the Developer Improvements (until acceptance of the Developer
Improvements by the City pursuant to the Developer Improvements Requirements), the Redevelopment
Project, or the Redevelopment Property.
(c) The Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for any damage or injury to the persons or
property of the Master Developer or its officers, agents, servants, or employees or any other person who may
be about the Developer Improvements (until acceptance of the Developer Improvements by the City pursuant
to Developer Improvements Requirements) or the Redevelopment Property.
(d) All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements, and obligations of the Authority and the
City contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements, and
obligations of such entity and not of any governing body member, officer, agent, servant, or employee of
such entities in the individual capacity thereof.

Agreement and the term "Event of Default" shall mean, whenever it is used in this Agreement, any one or
more of the following events, after the non -defaulting Party provides sixty (60) days' notice to the defaulting
Party of the event of default, but only if the event has not been cured within said 60 days or, if the event is by

provide assurances reasonably satisfactory to the Party providing notice of default that the event will be cured
and will be cured as soon as reasonably possible:

The Economic Development Authority for the City of Shakopee (the "Authority") hereby
acknowledges itself to be indebted and, for value received, promises to pay to the order of Eagle Ventures,
LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, or registered assigns (the "Owner"), solely from the source, to
the extent and in the manner hereinafter provided, the maximum principal sum of $44,575,582, as provided in
the Agreement (hereinafter defined), or so much thereof as has been from time to time advanced as
hereinafter provided (the "Principal Amount"), together with interest on the unpaid balance thereof accrued
from the respective dates of entry of each Principal Advance on the Principal Advance Ledger attached
hereto, at the rate of 7.00% per annum. This Note is given in accordance with that certain Contract for
Private Redevelopment, dated , 2026 (the "Agreement"), between the Authority and the Owner.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning provided for such terms in
the Agreement unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
1. Payments. Principal and interest payments (the "Payments") shall be paid on
August 1, 2031 and each February 1 and August 1 thereafter to and including February 1, 2051 (the
"Payment Dates") in the amounts and from the sources set forth in Section 3 herein. Payments shall be
applied first to accrued interest, and then to unpaid principal. Interest accruing from the respective dates of
entry of each Principal Advance on the Principal Advance Ledger
Payments are payable by mail to the address of the Owner or such other address as the Owner may
designate upon thirty (60) days' written notice to the Authority. Payments on this Note are payable in any
coin or currency of the United States of America which, on the Payment Date, is legal tender for the payment
of public and private debts.
2. Interest. Interest at the rate stated herein shall accrue on the unpaid principal, commencing
on the date of original issue. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and charged for
actual days principal is unpaid. Interest on this Note shall accrue but shall not compound into principal.
3. Principal Advances. Following the satisfaction of the requirements in Section 3.8(a) of the
Agreement, and on any date thereafter through the fifth anniversary of the date that the TIF District is
certified, the Owner may request the Authority enter an advance of principal under this Note (a "Principal
B-1
200246008v4
39
Advance") on the ledger of such advances maintained by the registrar (the "Principal Advance Ledger"), by
submitting to the Authority a certificate (the "Principal Advance Certificate") signed by the Owner's duly
authorized representative, containing the following: (i) a statement that each cost identified in the Principal
Advance Certificate is a Qualified Public Redevelopment Cost reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof
and that no part of such cost has been included in any previous Principal Advance Certificate; (ii) evidence
that each identified Qualified Public Redevelopment Cost has been paid or incurred by or on behalf of the
Master Developer; (iii) a certification from the Consulting Engineer that the Developer Improvements have
been completed based on the Developer Improvements Requirements; (iv) a statement that no uncured Event
of Default by the Master Developer has occurred and is continuing under the Agreement (as defined below);
(v) a statement describing the type and amount of Qualified Public Redevelopment Costs that were expended
outside the TIF District, if any; and (vi) a statement that the expenditures for which reimbursement is
requested complies with Section 4.5 of the Agreement. The Owner may submit one (1) Principal Advance
Certificate per month to the Authority.
Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Principal Advance Certificate, the Authority shall, if
the Authority Representative has determined that all the aforementioned requirements have been satisfied, so
notify the Owner and direct the registrar to enter the amount requested in the Principal Advance Ledger on
the next February 1 or August 1, provided that the aggregate amount of sums entered on the Principal
Advance Ledger shall not exceed $44,575,582. The Authority may, if not satisfied that the conditions
described herein have been met, return the Principal Advance Certificate with a statement of the reasons why
the Principal Advance Certificate is not acceptable and requesting such further documentation or clarification
as the Authority may reasonably require. Failure by the Authority to notify the Owner of any objections
within thirty (60) days after receipt of the Principal Advance Certificate will be deemed acceptance thereof
4. Available Tax Increment. Payments on this Note are payable on each Payment Date solely
from and in the amount of "Available Tax Increment," which shall mean, on each Payment Date, ninety
percent (90%) of the Tax Increment attributable to the TIF District Property and paid to the Authority by
Scott County, Minnesota in the six (6) months preceding the Payment Date, all as such terms are defined in
the Contract for Private Redevelopment, dated July , 2026 (the "Agreement"), between the Authority and
the Owner, as the master developer.
The Authority shall have no obligation to pay principal of and interest on this Note on each Payment
Date from any source other than Available Tax Increment and the failure of the Authority to pay the entire
amount of principal and interest on this Note on any Payment Date shall not constitute a default hereunder as
long as the Authority pays principal hereon to the extent of Available Tax Increment. The Authority shall
have no obligation to pay the unpaid balance of principal or accrued interest that may remain after the final
Payment on February 1, 2051.
5. Default. If on any Payment Date there has occurred and is continuing any Event of Default
under the Agreement, the Authority may withhold from payments hereunder under all Available Tax
Increment. If the Event of Default is thereafter cured in accordance with the Agreement, the Available Tax
Increment withheld under this Section shall be deferred and paid, without interest thereon, on the next
Payment Date after the Event of Default is cured. If the Event of Default is not timely cured, the Authority
may terminate this Note by written notice to the Owner in accordance with the Agreement.
6. Optional Prepayment. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Note is
prepayable in whole or in part at any time by the Authority without premium or penalty. No partial
prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made
under this Note.

NOTE.

be issued in the name of the transferee a new Note of the same aggregate principal amount and maturing on
the same dates.

Owner, unless the Authority has been provided with an investment letter in a form substantially similar to
the investment letter submitted by the Owner or a certificate of the transferor, in a form satisfactory to the
Authority, that such transfer is exempt from registration and prospectus delivery requirements of federal and
applicable state securities laws.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all acts, conditions, and things required by the
Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen, and to be performed in order
