The City Council has heretofore determined, and does

Construction Loan Agreement, which documents specify certain
terms and conditions of the acquisition and financing the
Project;
(3) in authorizing the Project the City's purpose is, and
in its judgment the effect thereof will be, to promote the pub-
lic welfare by: the promotion of tourism in the state, the
attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound
industry and commerce so as to prevent, so far as possible, the
emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of chronic
unemployment; the development of revenue - producing enterprises
to use the available resources of the community, in order to
retain the benefit of the community's existing investment in
educational and public service facilities; the halting of the
movement of talented, educated personnel of all ages to other
areas and thus preserving the economic and human resources
needed as a base for providing governmental services and facil-
ities; the provision of accessible employment opportunities for
residents in the area; the expansion of an adequate tax base to
finance the increase in the amount and cost of governmental
services, including educational services for the school
district serving the community in which the Project is
situated;

(6) the Note and the interest accruing thereon do not
constitute an indebtedness of the City within the meaning of
any constitutional or statutory limitation and do not consti-
tute or give rise to a pecuniary liability or a charge against
the general credit or taxing powers of the City and neither the
full faith and credit nor the taxing powers of the City are
pledged for the payment of the Note or interest thereon; and
(7) the Note is an industrial development bond within the
meaning of Section 103(b) of the Code and is to be issued
within the exemption provided under subparagraph (D) of Section
103(b)(6) of the Code with respect to an issue of $10,000,000

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
STATE OF MINNESOTA
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD
Commercial Development Revenue Note of 1982
(Woodring Co. Project)
$421,000
FOR VALUE RECEIVED the CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, Ramsey
County, Minnesota (the "City "), hereby promises to pay to the
order of First National Bank of Minneapolis (the "Lender "), its
successors or registered assigns (the Lender and any such
successor or registered assignee being also sometimes
hereinafter referred to as the "Holder "), from the source and
in the manner hereinafter provided, the principal sum of FOUR
HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE THOUSA14D DOLLARS ($421,000) or so much
thereof as remains unpaid from time to time (the "Principal
Balance "), with interest thereon at the rate specified in
paragraph 1(a) hereof (the "Tax Exempt Rate ") or at such higher
rate as provided in paragraph 1(b) hereof (the "Taxable Rate "),
in any coin or currency which at the time or times of payment
is legal tender for the payment of public or private debts in
the United States of America, in accordance with the terms
hereinafter set forth.
I. (a) From and after the date hereof through and
including the first day of the 120th month (the "Final Maturity
Date ") following October 1982, interest only shall be paid
at the rate of % per annum. Interest shall accrue from the
date hereof and shall be payable on the first day of the
calendar month next succeeding the date hereof and on the first
day of each and every month thereafter through and including
the Final Maturity Date with a final payment of the entire
principal balance and all accrued interest to be payable on the
Final Maturity Date.
(b)(i) In the event that the interest on this
Note shall become subject to federal income taxation pursuant
to a Determination of Taxability (as hereinafter defined), the
interest rate on this Note shall be increased, retroactively
effective from and after the Date of Taxability (as hereinafter
defined) to % per annum (the "Taxable Rate "). The City
shall immediately upon demand pay to the Holder and to each
prior Holder affected by such Determination of Taxability an
amount equal to the amount by which the interest accrued
retroactively at such increased rate from the Date of
Taxability to the date of payment exceeds the amount of
interest actually accrued and paid to the Holder and any such
prior Holder during said period. (Such obligation of the City
- 7 - 10/25
shall survive the payment in full of the principal amount of
this Note). Commencing on the first day of the month next
following the date of payment of such additional interest and
continuing on the first day of each month thereafter (unless
the Holder shall accelerate the maturity of the Note pursuant
to clause (ii) of this paragraph (b)), the monthly payments of
interest only hereunder shall be increased to reflect the
accrual of interest at the Taxable Rate.
(ii) Upon a Determination of Taxability, the
Holder or the Borrower may upon thirty days notice (30) declare
the entire Principal Balance of this Note
together with accrued interest thereon at such retroactively
increased Taxable Rate to be immediately due and payable, plus
the prepayment premium, calculated in accordance with paragraph
7 hereof.
(iii) The Holder shall give notice, as soon as
practicable, to the Borrower of any Notice of Taxability, as
hereinafter defined, received by the Holder and permit the
Borrower to contest, litigate or appeal the same at its sole
expense; provided that any such contest, litigation or appeal
is, in the reasonable opinion of the Holder, being undertaken
and carried forward in good faith, diligently and with reason-
able dispatch. In the event any such contest, litigation or
appeal is undertaken, the increased interest provided in
paragraph (b)(i) shall, nevertheless, be payable to the Holder
and shall be by the Holder in escrow (without paying
interest thereon) pending final disposition of such contest,
litigation or appeal, provided that the Borrower shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and each prior Holder
from any and all penalties, interest or other liabilities which
they may incur on account of such contest, litigation or
appeal.
(iv) The terms "Determination of Taxability,"
"Date of Taxability" and "Notice of Taxability" shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement, dated
the date hereof (the "Loan Agreement "), between the City and
Woodring Co. (the "Borrower ").
2. In any event, the payments hereunder shall be
sufficient to pay all principal and interest due, as such
principal and interest becomes due, and to pay any premium or
penalty, at maturity, upon redemption, or otherwise. Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, but charged
for the actual number of days elapsed.
3. Payments shall be payable at the principal office
of the Lender, or at such other place as the Holder may
designate in writing.
4. This Note is issued by the City to provide funds
for a Project, as defined in Section 474.02, Subdivision la,
Minnesota Statutes, consisting of the acquisition, construction
and equipping of a restaurant facility, to be leased to
Estebans' Mexican Foods, Inc., pursuant to the Loan Agreement,
- 8 - 10/25
and this Note is further issued pursuant to and in full com-
pliance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Minneso-
ta, particularly Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes, and pursuant
to a resolution of the City Council duly adopted on October
1982 (the "Resolution ").
5. This Note is secured by a Pledge Agreement of
even date herewith by the City to the Lender (the "Pledge
Agreement "), a Combination Mortgage, Security Agreement and
Fixture Financing Statement, of even date herewith between the
Borrower as mortgagor," and the Lender as mortgagee (the
"Mortgage ") by an Assignment of Rents and Leases, of even date
herewith, from the Borrower to the Lender (the "Assignment of
Rents and Leases ") and a Guaranty from Richard J. Schreier and
Patricia A. Schreier to the Lender (collectively, the
"Guaranty "). The proceeds of this Note shall be placed in the
Proceeds Account of the Construction Fund Agreement
(hereinafter referred to) and disbursement of the proceeds of
this Note from the Construction Fund is subject to the terms
and conditions of a Construction Loan Agreement of even date
herewith among the Lender, the City and the Borrower (the
"Construction Loan Agreement ").
6. (a) The Borrower may, at its option, prepay the
Principal Balance in whole or in part in increments of $100,000
on the first day of any month upon at least 30 days advance
written notice to the Holder (or such lesser period of notice
as the Holder may approve) and upon payment of an amount equal
to the principal amount being so prepaid, plus accrued interest
hereon to the date of prepayment, plus the prepayment premium
calculated in accordance with paragraph 7 hereof. This Note is
also subject to mandatory prepayment in whole or in part
pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Construction Loan Agreement in
the amount of any sums remaining in the Proceeds Account of the
Construction Fund at the Completion Date (as such terms are
defined in the Construction Loan Agreement), in which event a
prepayment premium shall also be payable in accordance with
paragraph 7 hereof. Upon the occurrence of certain "Events of
Default" under the Construction Loan Agreement, the Loan
Agreement and /or under the Mortgage, and as provided in
paragraph 11 hereof, the Holder may declare the Principal
Balance and accrued interest on this Note to be immediately due
and payable (any such action and any similar action pursuant to
paragraph l(b)(ii) hereof being hereinafter referred to as an
"acceleration" of this Note), in which event a prepayment
premium shall also be payable in accordance with paragraph 7
hereof.
(b) Upon the occurrence of certain events of
damage, destruction or condemnation, the Holder may, as
provided in the Mortgage, apply the net proceeds of any
insurance or condemnation award to the prepayment, in whole or
in part, of the Principal Balance in which event a prepayment
premium may be payable in accordance with paragraph 8 hereof.
- 9 - 10/25
7. If at the time of any prepayment or acceleration
of this Note, occurring prior to October 1, 1992 the yield on
U.S. Treasury securities (as published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York) having a maturity date closest to October 1,
1992 (the "Government Yield "), as determined by the Holder as of
the date of prepayment or acceleration, is less than
the Borrower shall pay a premium calculated as follows: (a)
the amount of principal so prepaid shall be multiplied by (i)
the amount by which % exceeds the Government Yield as
of the date of prepayment or acceleration, times (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remain -
ing to October 1, 1992 and the denominator of which is 360, (b)
the resulting product shall then be divided by the number of
whole months then remaining to October 1, 1992 yielding a
quotient (the "Quotient "), (c) the amount of the prepayment
premium payable under this paragraph shall be the present value
on the date of prepayment or acceleration (using the Government
Yield as of the date of prepayment or acceleration as the
discount factor) of a stream of equal monthly payments in
number equal to the number of whole months remaining to October
1, 1992, with the amount of each such hypothetical monthly
payment equal to the Quotient and with the first payment
payable on the date of prepayment or acceleration.
8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such prepayment
premium shall be payable with respect to a prepayment made at
the option of the Holder pursuant to Article Five of the
Mortgage or Section 5.02 of the Loan Agreement, unless a, *Event
of Default had occurred under the Loan Agreement, Construction
Loan Agreement or the Mortgage and remains uncured at the time
such prepayment is made.
9. The payments due under paragraph.l hereof shall
continue to be due and payable in full until the entire
Principal Balance and accrued interest due on this Note have
been paid regardless of any partial prepayment made hereunder.
10. As provided in the Resolution and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, this Note is transfer-
able upon the books of the City at the office of the City Clerk
by the Holder in person or by his agent duly authorized in writ-
ing, at the Holder's expense, upon surrender hereof together
with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the City
Clerk duly executed by the Holder or his duly authorized agent.
Upon such transfer the City Clerk will note the date of regis-
tration and the name and address of the new registered Holder
in the registration blank appearing below. The City may deem
and treat the'person in whose name the Note is last registered
upon the books of the City with such registration noted on the
Note, as the absolute owner hereof, whether or not overdue, for
the purpose of receiving payment of or on the account of the
Principal Balance, redemption price or interest and for all
other purposes, and all such payments so made to the Holder or
upon his order shall be valid and effective to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon the Note to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid, and the City shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
- 10 - 10/25
11. This Note and interest hereon and any premium due
hereunder are payable solely from the revenues and proceeds
under the Loan Agreement pledged to the payment thereof
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, except as the same may
otherwise be payable in accordance with, the Mortgage, the
Guaranty and the Assignment of Rents and Leases, and do not
constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory limitation, are not payable from or
a charge upon any funds other than the revenues and proceeds
pledged to the payment thereof, and do not give rise to a
pecuniary liability of the City or, to the extent permitted by
law, of any of its officers, agents or employees, and no holder
of this Note shall ever have the right to compel any exercise
of the taxing power of the City to pay this Note or the
interest thereon, or to enforce payment thereof against any
property of the City, and this Note does not constitute a
charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any
property of the City, and the agreement of the City to perform
or cause the performance of the covenants and other provisions
herein referred to shall be subject at all times to the
availability of revenues or other funds furnished for such
purpose in accordance with the Loan Agreement, sufficient to
pay all costs of such performance or the enforcement thereof.
12. It is agreed that time is of the essence of this
Note. If the City defaults in the payment when due of any
installment of principal or interest or any premium or penalty
due hereunder and if said default shall have continued for a
period of ten (10) days, or if an Event of Default shall occur
as set forth in the Mortgage, the Construction Loan Agreement
or the Loan Agreement, then the Holder shall have the right and
option to declare the Principal Balance, and accrued interest
thereon, together with the premium, if any, payable under
paragraph 8 hereof, immediately due and payable but solely from
the sources specified in paragraph 11 hereof. Failure to
exercise such option at any time shall not constitute a waiver
of the right to exercise the same at any subsequent time.
13. The remedies of the Holder, as provided herein
and in the Mortgage, the Assignment of Rents and Leases, the
Guaranty, the Loan Agreement and the Construction Loan
Agreement, are not exclusive and shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together,
at the sole discretion of the Holder, and may be exercised as
often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to
exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be
construed as a waiver or release thereof.
14. The Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of
omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or
remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed
by the Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set
forth in the writing. A waiver with reference to one event
shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver
of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event.
- 11 - 10/25
15. This Note has been issued without registration under state or federal or
other securities laws, pursuant to an exemption for such issuance; and accordingly
the note may not be assigned or transferred in whole or part, nor may a participation
interest in the note be given pursuant to any participation agreement, except in accord-
ance with an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED. that all conditions, acts and things required
to exist, happen and be performed precedent to or in the issuance of this Note do exist,
have happened and have been performed in regular and due form as required by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City has caused this Note to be duly executed in its name
