MEMORANDUM
9/10/04
To: Mound HRA
From: John Dean
Subject: Redevelopment Contract Between BFL2 and Mound HRA.
BACKGROUND
At your September 15 meeting you will be asked to consider a proposed Redevelopment
Contract between the HRA and BFL2, LLC for development of a hotel/restaurant/banquet facility in
the Auditor's Road area of Mound. A copy of the proposed contract is included in your agenda
packet along with this memorandum.
As you will recall, the hotel project was originally a "subpart" of the Mound Harbor
Renaissance redevelopment project. However, it soon became apparent that a better approach was
for the HRA to be directly involved in working out the terms of the hotel development with BFL2.
To that end, the HRA and BFL2 have been involved in the negotiation of an agreement since early
this year.
Even though the hotel project is separate from the Mound Harbor Renaissance project, the
two are significantly connected and dependent on one another. The Term Sheet with Mound
Harbor Renaissance, approved earlier this year, outlines many of the connections between the two
projects, and addresses the various things that MHR will do in furtherance of the hotel project.
We believe that the proposed agreement with BFL2 is consistent with the provisions of the
Term Sheet. MHR has been furnished a copy of the proposed agreement, and may have comments
to make at the meeting.
THE AGREEMENT
Redevelopment Agreements tend to contain levels of detail that are of less concem to
decision makers than to those of us that will need to deal with the agreement on a day to day basis.
My intention here is to address only a few of the major features of the agreement. You should read
the agreement in its entirety; and I will be available to answer any questions and provide greater
detail at the meeting should you desire.
JBD-253018vl

Under the agreement, the HRA and BFL2 will have until November 1 of this year to resolve
a number of key issues. Those issues include the following:
Make significant progress toward a determination of feasibility of the hotel project
(final determination to be made by December 1)
Reach agreement on the legal description of the Hotel site, the building footprint and
the parking layout.
Determine how to proceed in the event that MHR should elect not to develop in
Auditor's Road.
Assuming that those issues can be resolved, BFL2 would then deposit with the City
$150,000 as its share of the cost of relocation of the MCES lift station. Relocation of the MCES lift
station will be the subject of a separate contract between the City and MCES. The existence of that
agreement is, of course an additional precondition to the deposit.
If all of that takes place, the HRA would then proceed to assemble the Hotel site for transfer
to BFL2. The transfer would occur only if a number of additional conditions occur, including a
final determination of financial feasibility, and evidence that the hotel project has been financed.
The HRA will be reimbursed by MHR for the lands transferred to BFL2 in accordance with
the terms of our agreement with MHR (those terms are currently spelled out in the Term Sheet).
MHR will also be providing a number of other services and facilities to BFL2. The value of the
land and those other services and facilities is around $1,000,000. In remm MHR will receive the tax
increment generated by the Hotel development. If MHR fails to provide some or all of the services
or facilities, or pay for the land, then BFL2 will provide them for itself, and will capture as much of
the Hotel tax increment as is necessary to reimburse it for those expenditures.
The agreement also contains relative customary provisions regarding title, encumbrances
and environmental issues.
Although the agreement defers for future determination many of the issues that must be
resolved before the hotel project breaks ground, I believe that the agreement does an excellent job of
identifying the remaining tasks and breaking them down into manageable pieces.
RECOMMENDATION
Although I have prepared this memo without the benefit of MHR's comments on the draft
agreement, I believe that the proposed agreement does a good job of outlining the rights, obligations
and responsibilities of the parties. Further, I believe that it provided an adequate "road map" of the
items remaining to be resolved, and how to go about resolving them. I also believe that the terms
were mutually arrived at in open and candid discussions with BFL2.
It is therefore my recommendation, subject to what we might hear from MHR, that the HRA
approve the proposed agreement with BFL2.

ARTICLE VII
FINANCING
Section 7.1. Limitations Upon Encumbrance. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Completion, neither the Redeveloper nor any successor in interest to the Redevelopment
Property or any part thereof shall engage in any financing or any other transaction creating any
mortgage or other encumbrance or lien upon the Redevelopment Property or any part thereof,
whether by express agreement or operation of law, or suffer any encumbrance or lien to be made
on or attached to the Redevelopment Property or any part thereof, except only for the purpose of
obtaining funds to the extent necessary for purchasing or redeveloping the Redevelopment
Property or funding construction of the Minimum Improvements.
Section 7.2. Copy of Notice of Default to Lender. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate
of Completion, whenever the HRA shall deliver any notice or demand to the Redeveloper with
respect to any breach or default by the Redeveloper in its obligations under this Agreement, the
HRA shall at the same time forward a copy of such notice or demand to each holder ("Holder")
known to the HRA of any mortgage or other financing agreement authorized by this Agreement
by sending such notice to last known address of the Holder as shown in the records of the HRA.
Section 7.3. Lender's Option to Cure Defaults. After any Event of Default by the
Redeveloper referred to in Section 10.1 hereof, each Holder shall (insofar as the rights of the
HRA are concerned) have the right for a period of ninety (90) days, at the Holder's option, to
cure or remedy such Event of Default to the extent that it relates to the part of the
Redevelopment Property covered by its financing and to add the cost thereof to the debt and the
lien of its financing, provided, that if the breach or event of default is with respect to construction
of the Minimum Improvements, nothing contained in this Section or any other section of this
Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize such Holder, either before or after foreclosure
or action in lieu thereof, to undertake or continue the construction or completion of the Minimum
Improvements (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect such Improvements or
construction already made) without first having expressly assumed the Redeveloper's obligations
described in Section 4.5 hereof by written agreement reasonably satisfactory to the HRA to
complete the Minimum Improvements or the part thereof to which the lien or title of such holder
relates, provided further, however, that the HRA will not unreasonably withhold its consent to
any changes in the Minimum Improvements which are requested by the Holder if the requested
changes do not alter the basic design of the Minimum Improvements. (It being understood that
such consent shall in no way act to bind or influence the power of the City, in the exercise of its
governmental authority not to approve any proposed changes or alterations to the Minimum
Improvements. Any such Holder who shall perform the Redeveloper's obligations under Section
JBD-240678v6 2 '1
MU195-18
4.5 hereof, relating to the Redevelopment Property or applicable part thereof, shall be entitled,
upon written request made to the HRA, to a certification by the HRA to such effect in the
manner provided in Section 4.7 of this Agreement.
Section 7.4. H RA's Option to Cure Default. Prior to the issuance o fa Certificate o f
Completion, if the Redeveloper is in default under any financing authorized pursuant to Article
VIII of this Agreement, the Holder, prior to exercising any of its remedies, shall notify the HRA
in writing by sending it a copy of any notice of default sent to the Redeveloper. If, within thirty
(30) days after receipt of said notice, the HRA cures the default, then the Holder shall pursue
none of its remedies under the financing based upon the said default of the Redeveloper.
ARTICLE VIII
PROHIBITIONS AGAINST ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER
Section 8.1. Representation as to Development. The Redeveloper further recognizes
that, in view of (a) the importance of the development of the Minimum Improvements to the
general welfare of the community; and (b) the substantial financing and other public aids that
have been made available by the City and the HRA, for the purpose of making such development
possible; that the qualifications and identity of the Redeveloper are of particular concern to the
community and the HRA. Any change as hereunder described with respect to the identity of the
Redeveloper or the purchase of Redeveloper's interest by any other party or parties is for
practical purposes a transfer or disposition of the property then owned by the Redeveloper, the
Redeveloper further recognizes that it is because, of such qualifications and identity that the
HRA is entering into this Agreement with the Redeveloper and, in so doing, is further willing to
accept and rely on the obligations of the Redeveloper for the faithful performance of all
undertakings and covenants hereby then to be performed.
Section 8.2. [Blank].
Section 8.3. Prohibition Against Transfer of Property and Assignment of Agreement.
For the foregoing reasons, the Redeveloper represents and agrees that prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Completion for that Phase:
(a) Except only by way of security for, and only for, the purpose of obtaining
financing of the nature described in Section 7.1, the Redeveloper (except as so authorized) has
not made or created, and that it will not make or create, or suffer to be made or created, any total
or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, or any trust or power, or transfer in any other mode or
form of or with respect to this Agreement or the Redevelopment Property or any part thereof or
any interest therein, or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, without the prior written
approval of the HRA, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) The HRA shall be entitled to require, except as otherwise provided in the
Agreement, as conditions to any such action described in paragraph (a) above that: (i) any
proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility, as reasonably
JBD-240678v6 2 2
MU195-18
determined by the I-IRA, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations undertaken in this
Agreement by the Redeveloper (or, in the event the transfer is of or relates to part of the
Redevelopment Property, such obligations t o t he extent t hat t hey r elate to such part); (ii) any
proposed transferee, by instrument i n writing satisfactory t o t he H RA and i n form r ecordable
among the land records, shall for itself and its successors and assigns, and expressly for the
benefit of the HRA, have expressly assumed all of the obligations of the Redeveloper under this
Agreement and agreed to be subject to the terms of the Redevelopment Plan (or, in the event the
transfer is of or relates to part of the Redevelopment Property, such obligations, conditions, and
restrictions to the extent that they relate to such part); provided, that the fact that any transferee
of, or any other successor in interest whatsoever the reason, shall have assumed such obligations
or agreed, shall not (unless and only to the extent otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement or agreed to in writing by the HRA) relieve or except such transferee or successor of
or from such obligations, conditions, or restrictions, or deprive or limit the HRA or with respect
to any fights or remedies or controls with respect to the Redevelopment Property or the
construction of the Minimum Improvements; it being the intent of this, together with other
provisions of this Agreement, that (to the fullest extent permitted by law and 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 Redevelopment Property
or any part thereof, of any interest therein, however consummated or occurring, and whether
voluntary or involuntary, shall operate, legally or practically, to deprive or limit the HRA of or
with respect to any fights or remedies or controls provided in or resulting from this Agreement
with respect to the Redevelopment Property and the construction of the Minimum Improvements
that the H RAw ould have had, had there been no such transfer or change; (iii) there shall be
submitted to the HRA for review all instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting
transfer, and if approved by the HRA its approval shall be indicated to the Redeveloper in
writing. The HRA shall not unreasonably delay the taking of any action required of it under this
paragraph.
(c) Notwithstanding the prohibitions against transfer contained in this section, the
Redeveloper shall have the fight to transfer (partial or full) ownership interests in the
Redeveloper, this Agreement, or any component of the Redevelopment Property to any entity or
entities that are controlled by the Redeveloper.
(d) In the absence of specific written agreement by the HRA to the contrary, no such
transfer or approval by the HRA thereof shall be deemed to relieve the Redeveloper, or any other
party bound in any way by this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the construction of the
Minimum Improvements, or from any of its obligations with respect thereto. The HRA may,
however, in its reasonable discretion exercised in accordance with the standards and
requirements of Section 8.3(b) relieve Redeveloper if such transferee or assignee is acceptable to
the HRA.
Section 8.4. Following Completion. Upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion,
the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.5 shall be deemed to have no further force and effect;
and the Redeveloper may transfer the Redevelopment Property and assign its interest under this
Agreement at any time upon written notice to the HRA.
JBD-240678v6 2 3
MU195-18
Section 8.5. Approvals. Any approval required to be given by the I-IRA under this
Article vm of this Agreement may be denied only in the event that the HRA reasonably
determines that the performance of the obligations of Redeveloper under this Agreement will be
materially impaired by the action for which approval is sought. At the HRA's request, the
Redeveloper s hall provide t o t he H RA's attorney for privileged review on behalf of the HRA
financial information as to any proposed general partners, or controlling stockholders of
proposed assignees or transferees, and financial information as to any such partnership or
corporation. Failure to provide such information shall be an adequate basis for the denial of any
requested approval; however, it shall not otherwise be construed as a default under this
Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 9.1. Events of Default Defined. The following shall, after the Redeveloper has
received notice of the same and has failed to cure in accordance with Section 9.2, be "Events of
Default" under this Agreement and the term "Event of Default" shall mean, whenever it is used

Redeveloper and its failure to cure (unless a different cure period is provided with respect to
specific defaults under this Agreement) or such longer cure period if reasonably required and the
actions to cure have been commenced within such 60-day period, find the Redeveloper in default

the Redeveloper or mortgagee reasonably deemed adequate by the HRA, that the Redeveloper
will cure the default and continue performance under this Agreement.

or interests provided in this Agreement for the protection of the Holder of such mortgages

or remedies, but each a nd e very such remedy s hall b e cumulative a nd s hall b e i n addition t o
every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default
shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such
right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
In order to entitle the HRA or the Redeveloper to exercise any remedy reserved to it, it shall not
be necessary to give notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article X or by
applicable law.
Section 9.4. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any obligation
contained in this Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived b y the
other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be
deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous or subsequent breach hereunder.

parties hereto.

provide such further deposit as is required to return the unexpended amount to $5,000.00. It is
