The City and the Authority have approved the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-6 (a housing district) (the "TIF District') within the Project, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794, as amended (the "TIF Act'), and have adopted a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the purpose of financing certain improvements within the Project. 1.04.

Under Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, the Authority and the City are authorized to advance or loan money from any fund from which such advances may be legally made in order to finance expenditures that are eligible to be paid with tax increments under the TIF Act, including the Qualified Costs. 1.06.

Section 2. Terms of Interfund Loan. 2.01. The City hereby authorizes the advance of up to $30,000 (or so much thereof as may be paid as Qualified Costs) to the Authority. 2.02. The Authority shall reimburse the City for such advances together with the interest at the rate stated below. Interest accrues on the principal amount from the date of each advance. The maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 as of the date the loan or advance is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the maximum interest rate will fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 are from time to time adjusted. The interest rate shall be 4% and will not fluctuate. 2.03. Principal and interest (the "Payments") on the Interfund Loan shall be paid annually on each December 31 (each a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date on which the Authority has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other dates determined by the Authority, through the date of last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District. 2.04. Payments on the Interfund Loan are payable solely from "Available Tax Increment," which shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other obligations have been paid, or as determined by the Authority, generated in the preceding twelve (12) months with respect to the property within the TIF District and remitted to the Authority by Ramsey County, Minnesota, all in accordance with the TIF Act. Payments on the Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment, and are on parity with any other outstanding or future interfund loans secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment. 2.05. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under the Interfund Loan 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 any interfund loan. 2.06. The Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the Authority in accordance with Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited obligation payable solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment thereof under this resolution. The Interfund Loan and the interest thereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, Ramsey County, Minnesota or the City. Neither the State of Minnesota nor any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment. Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident thereto. The Authority shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date. 2.07.
