“Easement”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, to permit the Commission to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement, including the construction, equipping, inspection, and delivery

upon completion of the Local Public Improvements, as determined by the Board of Works.
SECTION 4. DEVELOPER’S OBLIGATIONS.
4.1 Generally. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Commission’s agreements
to perform and abide by the covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement are material
consideration for the Developer’s commitment to perform and abide by the covenants and
obligations of the Developer contained in this Agreement.
4.2 The Project.
(a) The Developer will perform all necessary work to complete the
improvements set forth in the Project Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B, which
improvements shall comply with all building, zoning, and land use laws and ordinances.
(b) The Developer will complete the Project in accordance with the Project Plan
attached hereto as Exhibit B.
4.3 Cooperation. The Developer agrees to endorse and support the Commission’s
efforts to expedite the Local Public Improvements through any required planning, design, public
bidding, construction, inspection, waiver, permitting, and related regulatory processes.
4.4 Obtain Necessary Easements. The Developer agrees to obtain any and all
easements from any governmental entity and/or any other third parties that the Developer or the
Commission deems necessary or advisable in order to complete the Local Public Improvements,
and the obtaining of such easements is a condition precedent to the Commission’s obligations
under this Agreement.
4.5 Timeframe for Completion. The Developer hereby agrees to complete the portion
of the Project containing the space for the Program graduates by July 2nd, 2021 ("Leased Space
Completion Date"). The Parties acknowledge that other obligations of the Developer and the
Commission may be required to occur after that date. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Developer’s failure to complete the portion of the Project
containing space for the Program graduates by the Leased Space Completion Date will constitute
a default under this Agreement without any requirement of notice of or an opportunity to cure such
failure.
4
4.6 Developer’s Obligation to Lease Space. The Developer agrees to make available
for a period of at least eighteen (18) months from the Leased Space Completion Date ("Availability
Period") nine thousand Rentable Square Feet (9,000 RSF) of space within the Developer Property
for use by the Program graduates=. RSF not reserved or leased by Program graduates during the
Availability Period may be leased by the Developer to outside tenants with the cooperation and
agreement of the Commission's staff designee. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
Developer's role is limited to property leasing and management. Business consulting and
assistance are solely the role and purview of the Program.
4.7 Rental Rates. Commencing June 1, 2021, the Program graduates shall have a right
of first refusal to the RSF at a reduced rent. The reduced rental rates shall be jointly agreed upon
by the Developer and the Commission's staff designee. The base rate shall be no less than $7.00
and no more than $9.00 per rentable square foot through the contract term. All custom tenant
buildouts or utility/service needs will either be paid upfront by the tenant or amortized over the
course of the lease at cost plus a 10% markup. The Developer will provide reduced rent on the
following schedule to Program graduates: 99% discount for 6 months (June 2021 – December
2021), 66% discount for 6 months (January 2022 – May 2022), 33% discount for 6 months (June
2022 – December 2022). After December 31, 2022, the Developer may default to full or market
rates.
4.8 Configuration of Lease Space and Lease. Lease space will be determined by the
model provided by the City's consultant, Incremental Development. The leases with Program
graduates will be gross leases, calculated per Rentable Square Foot. The RSF is arrived by adding
the tenant’s useable square feet ("USF") to the tenant’s pro-rata share of the building's common
spaces. Developer shall work with the Program graduates to configure the leased space and to
agree upon acceptable lease terms. The lease terms shall also include provisions stating that the
Developer is responsible for the maintenance of all common and/or vacant areas (including the
outdoor patio) and to keep such areas free from debris or clutter.
4.9 Program Use of Outdoor Patio. The Developer will make the outdoor patio space
available to the Program as needed and at no charge for Program events through December 31,
2022.
4.10 Reporting Obligations. The Developer agrees to provide a report to the
Commission, no later than January 15 of each year after the Effective Date of this Agreement and
continuing until January 15, 2023, indicating the square footage rented by graduates of the
Program at the reduced rate, along with the termination dates of the graduates' outstanding leases.
Additionally, for the sole purpose of confirming compliance with this Agreement, on or before
August 1, 2021, the Developer shall provide the Commission with copies of all executed leases
with the Program's graduates.
4.11 Costs and Expenses of Construction of Project. The Developer hereby agrees to
pay, or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses of planning, construction, management, and all
other activities or purposes associated with the Project Plan (including legal fees), exclusive of the
Local Public Improvements, which shall be paid for by the Commission by and through the
Funding Amount subject to the terms of this Agreement.
5
4.12 Non-Interference. Developer hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to minimize disruption for those living and working near the Developer Property during
construction of the Project.
4.13 Insurance. The Developer shall purchase and maintain comprehensive insurance
coverage as is appropriate for the work being performed with respect to the Project. The Developer
shall provide proof of such adequate insurance to the Commission and shall notify the Commission
and the City of any change in or termination of such insurance. During the period of construction
or provision of services regarding any Local Public Improvements, the Developer shall maintain
insurance in the kinds and for at least the minimum amounts as described in Exhibit E attached
hereto and the Commission and the City shall be named as additional insureds on such policies
(but not on any worker’s compensation policies). Nothing contained within this Section or this
Agreement shall be construed as a waiver by the City or the Commission of any governmental
immunity or liability limitations available to it under Indiana law
4.14 Information. The Developer agrees to provide any and all due diligence items with
respect to the Project reasonably requested by the Commission.
4.15 Other Incentives. The Developer agrees that, for its completion of the Project (as
defined in the Project Plan), the Developer will not request or pursue any financial incentive or
support from the City for this Project other than the Commission’s commitment of the Funding
Amount under this Agreement, including without limitation any tax abatement with respect to the
Developer Property or any other property associated with the Project.
SECTION 5. COMMISSION’S OBLIGATIONS.
5.1 Generally. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Developer’s agreement to
perform and abide by the covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement is material
consideration for the Commission’s commitment to perform and abide by the covenants and
obligations of the Commission contained in this Agreement.
5.2 Completion of Local Public Improvements.
(a) The Commission hereby agrees to complete (or cause to be completed) the
Local Public Improvements described in Exhibit C attached hereto on a schedule to be
reasonably determined and agreed to by the Commission and the Developer, as may be
modified due to unforeseen circumstances and delays.
(b) The Local Public Improvements will be completed in accordance with all
applicable public bidding and contracting laws and will be subject to inspection by the
Engineering Department or its designee.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the
costs associated with the Local Public Improvements are in excess of the Funding Amount,
Developer, at its sole option, may determine to pay to the Commission the amount of the
excess costs to permit timely completion of the Local Public Improvements by the
Commission, or an agent of the Commission, which amounts shall be applied for such
purpose. If Developer chooses not to pay any such excess costs of the Local Public
6
Improvements (above the Funding Amount), the Commission may reduce the scope of the
Local Public Improvements to the amount which may be funded with the Funding Amount.
In no event will the Commission be required to spend more than the Funding Amount in
connection with the Local Public Improvements.
5.3 Cooperation. The Commission agrees to endorse and support the Developer’s
efforts to expedite the Project through any required planning, design, permitting, waiver, and
related regulatory processes, provided, however, that the Commission will not be required to
expend any money in connection therewith.
5.4 Public Announcements, Press Releases, and Marketing Materials. The
Commission hereby agrees to coordinate all public announcements and press releases relating to
the Project with the Developer.
SECTION 6. COOPERATION IN THE EVENT OF LEGAL CHALLENGE.
6.1 Cooperation. In the event of any administrative, legal, or equitable action or other
proceeding instituted by any person not a party to this Agreement challenging the validity of any
provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate in defending such action or proceeding to
settlement or final judgment including all appeals. Each Party shall select its own legal counsel
and retain such counsel at its own expense, and in no event shall the Commission be required to
bear the fees and costs of the Developer’s attorneys nor shall the Developer be required to bear the
fees and costs of the Commission’s attorneys. The Parties agree that if any other provision of this
Agreement, or this Agreement as a whole, is invalidated, rendered null, or set aside by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 6.1, which shall
survive such invalidation, nullification, or setting aside.
SECTION 7. DEFAULT.
7.1 Default. Any failure by either Party to perform any term or provision of this
Agreement, which failure continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written
notice of such failure from the other Party, shall constitute a default under this Agreement. Any
notice given pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the nature of the alleged failure and,
where appropriate, the manner in which said failure satisfactorily may be cured. Upon the
occurrence of a default under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Party may (a) terminate this
Agreement, or (b) institute legal proceedings at law or in equity (including any action to compel
specific performance) seeking remedies for such default. If the default is cured within thirty (30)
days after the notice described in this Section 7.1, then no default shall exist and the noticing Party
shall take no further action.
7.2 Reimbursement Obligation. Developer shall use its good faith efforts to complete
the Project Plan no later than June 30. 2022. In the event that the Developer fails to offer a right
of first refusal to the Program graduates for leased space within the RSF for the timeframe set forth

Commission One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the portion of the Funding Amount expended
by the Commission in furtherance of the Local Public Improvements as of the date of the
Commission’s demand.
7
7.3 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, none of the Parties shall be deemed to be in default where delays in performance or
failures to perform are due to, and a necessary outcome of, war, insurrection, strikes or other labor
disturbances, walk-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of terrorism,
restrictions imposed or mandated by governmental entities, enactment of conflicting state or
federal laws or regulations, new or supplemental environments regulations, contract defaults by
third parties, or similar basis for excused performance which is not within the reasonable control
of the Party to be excused (each, an event of “Force Majeure”). Upon the request of any of the
Parties, a reasonable extension of any date or deadline set forth in this Agreement due to such
cause will be granted in writing for a period necessitated by the event of Force Majeure, or longer
as may be mutually agreed upon by all the Parties.

Commission or for any amount which may become due to the Developer, or its successors and
assigns, or on any obligations under the terms of this Agreement. No partner, member, employee,
or agent of the Developer or successors of them shall be personally liable to the Commission under

right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
nay single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence
be construed as a waiver of any such right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any other
occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted
