The computation of the tax due shall comply with the format to be established in the Memorandum from the City of oak Park Heights a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit "B ". The payment shall be made to the City within 15 days of billing rendered by the City to Developers. Section 3.04. Market Value. The Developers and the City acknowledge that the Washington County Assessor determines the market value of tax exempt properties in accordance with the provisions of Minn. Stat. §272.18. For purposes of this Agreement, the market value of the Exempt Property as of January 2, 2009 shall be as determined by the Washington County Assessor. In the event the Washington County Assessor has not determined a new value for any given year, the value for such year shall be the value determined by the Washington County Assessor for the previous year plus average annual property appreciation based on other commercial/industrial property appreciation in the City of Oak Park Heights. Thus, for example, if the Washington County Assessor has determined the market value of the Exempt Property as of January 2, 2009, and if the Exempt Property is exempt from taxation for taxes payable in 2009 and average property appreciation for 2008 is 5% , the payment in lieu of taxes due in 2009 shall be computed with reference to the Assessor January 2, 2009 valuation plus 5% appreciation. If the assessor has not updated the value for more than one year, appreciation for each unadjusted year shall be added to the last value set. If the County Assessor continues to value the property every sixth year, as is now the practice, the new value determined by the County Assessor will be determinative notwithstanding interim years of cumulative increases. Section 3.05. Appeal of Valuation. The market value of the Exempt Property as determined by the Washington County Assessor from time to time after the Exempt Property is granted exemption may be appealed by either the Developers or the City as follows: within ninety (90) days after receiving notice of the market value of the Exempt Property as determined by the Washington County Assessor, either party may send notice to the other that it objects to such determination and stating its opinion as to the true market value of the Exempt Property. If the City and the Developers cannot within thirty (30) days after the date of said notice and after good faith negotiations agree upon the market value of the Exempt Property, then the market value shall be established by appraisal, as follows: If the Developers and the City agree upon the selection of an appraiser within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day negotiation period, such appraiser shall be appointed to appraise the full and impartial appraisal which shall be binding on the parties. If the Developers and the City have been unable to agree upon the appointment of a single appraiser within said twenty (20) days, then each party shall within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the time given for appointment of a single appraiser designate an independent appraiser who holds the designation "MAI' and has his or her principal place of business in Washington County, Minnesota. If the objecting party shall fail to designate an appraiser and notify the other party of his /her identity within said thirty (30) days, then the market value of the Exempt Property shall be as previously determined by the Assessor. If the non - objecting party shall fail to designate an appraiser and notify the other party of his /her identify within said thirty (30) days, then the market value of the Exempt Property shall be the amount set out in the notice of objections. If both parties timely naive an appraiser, then the two appraisers so named shall designate a third similarly qualified appraiser within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the last of the two appraisers named by the parties. If the two appraisers fail to name the third appraiser within said thirty (30) days, then either party shall request the chief judge of the Washington County District Court to name the third appraiser. The three appraisers shall, within sixty (60) days of the appointment of the third, determine the market value of the Exempt Property by consensus, or if no consensus can be reached, by agreement of any two of the three. The determination of the appraisers shall be binding on the parties. If the parties agree to a single appraiser, each party shall pay one -half of the appraiser's fees. If the parties cannot agree upon a single appraiser, then each party shall pay the fee of the appraiser it selects and one-- half of the third appraiser's fees. For purposes hereof, the market value of the Exempt Property shall, insofar as possible and consistent with the intention of the parties as expressed herein, be based upon the statutory definitions and procedures used in the valuation of real property for purposes of determining ad valorem real property taxes in Minnesota, which may or may not approximate the actual fair market value of the Exempt Property. In the event the market value of the Exempt Property has not been determined by the appraiser(s) such that the amount of the payment due in any year cannot be calculated and timely payments made with reference thereto, the Developers shall nevertheless be required to make payments when due but the amount of such payments shall be calculated with reference to the Assessor's most recent determination of market value. If following the completion of the appraisals, the actual payment required to be made by the Developers hereunder is less than the amount heretofore paid by the Developers, the difference shall be refunded by the City to the Developers without interest within thirty (30) days If the actual payment required to be made by the Developers hereunder is more than the amount heretofore paid, the difference shall be paid by the Developers to the City without interest within thirty (30) days. Section 3.06. Legislative Changes. In the event the methods and procedures for determining property taxes are altered by the Minnesota State Legislature such that the methods and procedures set forth in this Agreement are no longer adequate to permit the parties to achieve the intent hereof as set forth in Section 3.02, the parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement directed at producing a comparable result. Section 3.07. Alterations. In the event the Exempt Property is substantially altered, improved or damaged such that the market value as established pursuant to the provisions hereof is no longer a reasonably accurate estimate of the market value of the Exempt Property, the parties shall negotiate in good faith an equitable adjustment of such market value and reduce their agreement thereto in writing. ARTICLE IV EMS SERVICES AND 911 CALLS Section 4.01 . Emergency Services via Bayport Fire Department. At such time when the Development (defined as the current Boutwells Landing Complex and the Proposed Skilled Care Facility located south of 58 Street)) exceeds 20.0 percent of all City emergency calls responded to by the Bayport Fire Department (including fire, good intent, false alarm and EMS /rescue, etc), the Developers shall make an annual payment to the City an amount equal to the cost impact the Development has on the City's cost contribution to the Bayport Fire Department for services over the 20.0 percent. Section 4.02 Billing. The City will directly bill the Developers after the City determines the annual use generated by the Development and its impact on the City Fair Share Formula or other future contribution protocol. The City will determine annual use at the Development based on information provided by the Bayport Fire Department `actual -run' data or other reliable source data. Section 4.03 Change of Fire /EMS provider to City. Should the City's relationship with the Bayport Fire Department and/or is financial relationships substantially change, the City reserves the right to amend this language as may be needed to compensate for new Fire and/or EMS service vendor costs. Section 4.04 Disclaimer. While it is anticipated that the City can provide adequate emergency responses to the Development, the City does not guaranty that it has adequate resources to respond to all emergencies or provide same in perpetuity. The City further indicates to the Developers that it should consider the implementation of necessary "on- site" staff and other emergency mitigation resources so that emergency EMS /Rescue calls could be handled internally and directly with appropriate health care providers and potentially deleting the need of the City responses.

Notary Public Approved as to form: Mark J Vier ling City Attorney This Instrument Drafted By: Mark J. Vier ling ECKBERG, LAMMERS, BRIGGS, WOLFF & VIERLING, P.L.L.P. 1809 Northwestern Avenue Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 EXHIBIT "A" LEGAL DESCRIPTION TRACT A REGISTERED LAND SURVEY NO. 125 Method of Calculation: EXHIBIT "B" The PILOT payment is the estimated amount of local taxes to the City that would have been generated by the Valley Senior Service Alliance Skilled Care Center if the property (both land and building) were not exempt from taxation. The City estimates the new Valley Senior Service Alliance Skilled Care Center (land and building) to have an appraised market value of $19,093,226. This market value, if taxable, would generate a tax capacity of $381,115. A portion of this tax capacity would be subject to fiscal disparity sharing as a commercial property. The proposed sharing percentage for Oak Park Heights for pay 2008 taxes is 22.1157 %. Therefore, the local taxing entities will benefit directly from $296,829 of the tax capacity. This reduced tax capacity would generate taxes to the City of $109,358, based on a proposed pay 2008 tax capacity rate of 36.842 %. This amount does not include any fiscal disparity distribution that would be generated by this property if taxable. The step by step calculation is detailed below. Based on an estimated market value (EMV) of $19,093,226, the following steps would be utilized to calculate the PILOT payment: Step l: Calculate the Total Tax Capacity (TTC): 1.5% x first $150,000 of EMV = $2,250 Plus 2.0% x EMV in excess of $150,000 - $378,865 Equals $381,115 (TTC) Step 2: Calculate the Fiscal Disparity Tax Capacity (FDIC): Result from Step 1 (TTC) Multiplied by 22.1157% (Proposed pay 2008 rate for City of Oak Park Heights) Equals $84,286 (FDIC) Step 3: Calculate the Local Tax Capacity (LTC): Result from Step 1 (TTC) = $381,115 Minus Result from Step 2 (FDIC) _ $84,286 Equals $296,829 (LTC) Step 4: Calculate the City's Tax Result from Step 3 (LTC) _ $296,829 Time 36.842% (Proposed Oak Park Heights Local tax capacity rate for Pay 2008) Equals $109,358 (City PILOT payment) The PILOT payment identified above includes the taxes that could be generated by the Valley Senior Service Alliance Skilled Care Center if it had an estimated market value of $ 1 9,093,226. Furthermore, the payment calculation assumes the proposed pay 2008 rates for the City remain fixed as does the 2008 fiscal disparity sharing factor. The variables in the above calculation to determine the actual PILOT payment each year will be the estimated market value (as determined by the Washington County Assessor's Office), the method used to calculate the tax capacity of commercial properties (possibility of being amended by the State Legislature), the fiscal disparity sharing factor for Oak Park Heights and the local tax rates for the City of Oak Park Heights. The PILOT would begin on a timetable based on construction and completion of the Skilled Care Center.
