ResolutionNo. 2012-12-75

RIVERBEND REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICTTAX INCREMENT FINANCING AMENDMENT

THE BLAKE AT RIVERBEND PROJECT AREA

Tax-increment financing (“TIF”) is a redevelopment tool to be administered by housingand redevelopment authorities codified at Tenn. Code Ann. §~13-20-204and 205, et. seq. Thepurpose of TIF is to provide an economic stimulus for blighted property in need ofredevelopment. Upon adoption of this Amendment, TIP may be utilized to finance eligibleredevelopment costs for a redevelopment project known as The Blake at Riverbend (“TheBlake”) to be located within the newly expanded Riverbend Redevelopment District subject tothe provisions of this Amendment. The TIF shall be administered as follows:

A. District History.

The property on which The Blake will be located is property adjacent to Wal-Mart on FortHenry Drive which has remained undeveloped in spite of commercial activity around it. Thecurrent Riverbend Redevelopment District is shown on the map attached as Exhibit One. ThisAmendment would expand the Riverbend Redevelopment District to incorporate approximately22 additional acres which consists of Sullivan County Tax Map 077H Parcels 003.00 and 004.00as shown on Exhibit Two (“Expansion Area”). The Blake will occupy approximately 8.64 acreswithin the Expansion Area as shown on Exhibit Three (“Project Area”). The entire District asexpanded by this Amendment will consist of approximately 45 acres. The remainder of theExpansion Area will be subdivided into additional outparcels which are expected to bedeveloped for additional restaurant and retail space. The Project Area is under contract to bepurchased by the Developer. Much of the property within the Expansion Area was graded withlittle to no control of erosion from the site. The property was cited for violations on severaloccasions. No progress has been made on the abandoned development for several years. Thiscondition has negatively affected development in the nearby areas. In order to combat theseissues for the site it is proposed that the Expansion Area (which includes the Project Area) bedesignated as part of the Riverbend Redevelopment District and be afforded all tax incentivesas appropriate to encourage new land uses in the area.

The Expansion Area is recognized as having a potential economic return to the City andCounty primarily due to its desirable location near Fort Henry Drive. Delay of the redevelopmentof this site will continue to have a deteriorative impact on the adjacent commercial areas. Theuse of TIF will allow the redevelopment of a well-located site which has previously beenunderutilized. The existing blight, dilapidated structures and negative impact on surroundingareas would all be remediated or eliminated by implementation of the proposed RedevelopmentProject. Redevelopment of this area would also provide the opportunity to help alleviate theexisting shortage of assisted living units available for rent in the Kingsport and Sullivan Countymarkets.

Based on the foregoing circumstances and conditions, the Board of Commissioners ofKHRA has determined that the Expansion Area of the District which includes the Project Area isblighted as defined by TCA 13-20-201 et seq. The District experiences the following conditions:

1. Long-term vacant and underutilized property.

2. The continued deterioration of the property due to unfinished grading and erosioncontrol and negative impact to the surrounding properties.

It is recommended that the project be redeveloped, rehabilitated and/or renovated inorder to correct such blighted, deteriorated and dilapidated conditions.

B. District Zoning and Land Use.

The redevelopment of the Riverbend Redevelopment District shall comply with theZoning Ordinances and building codes as well as other applicable rules, laws, ordinances,codes and regulations of the City. KHRA shall also review the Plan and any redevelopmentprojects within the District with appropriate City agencies and officials to ensure that the Planand the proposed redevelopment activities conform with local objectives relating to appropriateland uses, improved traffic flow, public transportation, public utilities, recreation and communityfacilities and other public improvements and needs. For a more complete description of therequirements and restrictions of the Zoning Ordinances of the City, reference should be made tothe Ordinances themselves. This property should continue to be zoned B-4P (Planned BusinessDistrict) by the City of Kingsport.

The City and KHRA will cooperate in the planning and construction of improvements tothe streets, roadways, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, parking systems, lighting, landscaping andtraffic signalization and control.

C. Estimated Cost of the Proiect.

The total estimated costs of all the proposed improvements to be made by The Blake atKingsport, LLC (the “Developer”) for The Blake, is $21,348,625.00. The proposedimprovements include construction of one building with two courtyards consisting of a total of106,500 square feet which will include 120 units of assisted living apartments containing a totalof 131 beds, on site therapy, on site healthcare, secure memory care and other relatedamenities (the “Redevelopment Project”). KHRA will be paid an annual administration fee equalto five percent of the total and annual tax increment revenue received by KHRA. The Projectwill be located in the Project Area on a portion of current Sullivan County Tax Map 077H,Control Map C, Group 077H, Parcels 003.00 and 004.00 which are the sole tax parcels withinthe Project Area. The TIF shall be limited to eligible expenditures for the RedevelopmentProject within the Project Area.

D. Sources of Revenue to Finance the Cost of the Proiect.

The primary sources of revenue to pay for the Redevelopment Project are proceeds inthe amount of $17,078,900.00 from a permanent loan to the Developer, Developer investmentof $3,269,725.00, and tax-increment based debt (to be issued by the KHRA in the form ofbonds, notes, or other indebtedness) in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00, but in no eventin an amount to exceed the estimated amount of debt that can be amortized over a 10 yearincrement period which are hereby authorized by City of Kingsport (the “City”) and SullivanCounty, Tennessee (the “County”). Current projections suggest that the tax increment from the

proposed improvements within the Project Area will be sufficient to retire this amount ofindebtedness within a ten (10) year amortization period for both the City and the County.

The total current property tax assessment for the Project Area is $180,000.00. Thisresults in annual property tax payments to the City in the amount of $3,726.00 and annualproperty tax payments to the County in the amount of $4,149.72. The Redevelopment Projectwould result in a total estimated assessed value for property within the Project Area of$6,188,080.00. Based on current tax rates, this would result in total estimated annual city taxesof $128,093.26 and total estimated annual county taxes of $159,367.81. Because SullivanCounty has dedicated $0.166 of its $25754 tax rate for repayment of indebtedness and the Cityof Kingsport has dedicated $.3400 of its $2.07 tax rate for repayment of indebtedness, thatportion of the increment, pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. §~13-20-2Q5and 9-23-1 03, shall not beallocated as provided in Paragraph 0 below but shall be collected and paid to the respectivetaxing agency as all other property taxes are collected and paid. Thus, the estimated totalavailable increment from Sullivan County taxes after the administration fee and statutory debtservice set aside is $137,480.79. The estimated total available increment from City of Kingsporttaxes after the administration fee and statutory debt service set aside is $ 98,742.79 resulting inan estimated total annual available tax increment from City and County of $236,223.59. Adetailed calculation of these estimated projections is attached hereto as Exhibit Four. Theredevelopment of the Project Area will not occur to the degree proposed without the use of tax-increment financing.

E. Amount and the Final Maturity of Bonded or other Indebtedness to be Incurred.

The amortization period for any indebtedness bac.~Øby the tax-increment revenuegenerated within the Project Area shall be no more than#~!ayearsfrom the date of issuanceof the debt. In any event, the final maturity date of all indebtedness issued pursuant to thisAmendment shall be on or before May 15, 2030. Upon retirement of all bonds, loans, or otherindebtedness incurred and payable from tax-increment funds, or at such time as monies ondeposit in the tax-increment fund or funds are sufficient for such purpose, all property taxesresulting from the incremental development of the project shall be retained by the appropriatetaxing agency for disbursement according to law.

F. Impact of the Tax-Increment Financing Provisions Upon Taxing Agencies.

The total assessment of the City of Kingsport’s real property tax base for the 2016 taxyear is approximately $1,294,676,740.00. The total assessment of Sullivan County’s realproperty tax base for the 2016 tax year is approximately $3,099,352,235.00. The currentassessment of the Project Area represents 0.0001% of the City of Kingsport’s property tax baseand 0.00006% of the Sullivan County property tax base. The estimated assessment of theProposed Improvements would represent 0.006% of the current City of Kingsport tax base and0.0026% of the current Sullivan County tax base. Based on these small percentages, the Cityand the County (the two taxing agencies affected by this Redevelopment Project) will not besubstantially impacted financially by this tax-increment financing provision.

The development of the Redevelopment Project will result in additional residents andeconomic activity within the Redevelopment District. It is estimated as many as 76 new localjobs could be created during the construction phase of the Redevelopment Project which wouldresult in approximately $165,000,000 in local income over the course of the project andapproximately $1,400,000.00 in local taxes and other revenue for local governments. Inaddition, the long term impact includes the addition of residents to our communities which

means approximately 81 new local jobs which creates approximately $3,000,000.00 in localincome and and other revenue for local governments. While all these numbers rely on certainassumptions and projections, the end result of the Redevelopment Project is that a need forassisted living units has been met and the City and County will receive a substantial economicboost.

G. Division of Property Taxes.

Upon approval of this Amendment, the taxes levied and collected over the Project Areashall be collected by the appropriate taxing authorities in the same manner as provided by law,except that said taxes shall be divided as follows:

1. The portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate at which thetax is levied each year by each taxing agency, upon the assessed value of such property withinthe Project Area as of the 2016 tax year (which is the year of approval of this TIF amendment)(“Base Assessment”), shall be allocated to, and when collected, shall be paid to, the respectivetaxing agencies as taxes levied by such taxing agencies on all other property are paid; provided,that in any year in which taxes of the Project Area are less than the Base Assessment and theDedicated Taxes, there shall be allocated and paid to those respective taxing agencies onlythose taxes actually imposed and collected; and provided further, that, in any year or years inwhich the Base Assessment would be diminished solely due to a rate reduction under Title 67,Chapter 5, Part 17, of the Tennessee Code, the Base Assessment shall nevertheless beestablished at the amount originally determined.

2. Subject to the restraints herein and applicable law, all of the City ofKingsport taxes levied in each year in excess of the Base Assessment and Dedicated Taxesshall be allocated to and, when collected, shall be paid into a special fund or funds of KHRA topay the administration fee and to pay the principal of and interest on any bonds, loans or otherindebtedness incurred or to be incurred by KHRA to finance or refinance, in whole or in part,eligible redevelopment expenses of the Redevelopment Project contemplated by theRedevelopment Plan, and such other expenses as may be allowed by law.

3. Subject to the restraints herein and applicable law, sixty five percent (65%)of the Sullivan County taxes levied in each year in excess of the Base Assessment andDedicated Taxes shall be allocated to and, when collected, shall be paid into a special fund orfunds of KHRA to pay the administration fee and to pay the principal of and interest on anybonds, loans or other indebtedness incurred or to be incurred by KHRA to finance or refinance,in whole or in part, eligible redevelopment expenses of the Redevelopment Projectcontemplated by the Redevelopment Plan, and such other expenses as may be allowed by law.The remaining thirty five percent (35%) of the Sullivan County taxes levied in each year inexcess of the Base Assessment and Dedicated Taxes shall be allocated to and, when collected,shall be paid to Sullivan County in the same manner as taxes on all other property are paid.

4. Upon retirement of all bonds, loans or other indebtedness incurred byKHRJA, and payable from such special fund or funds, or at such time as monies on deposit insuch special fund or funds are sufficient for such purpose, all taxes levied each year in excessof the Base Assessment and Dedicated Taxes shall, when collected, be paid to the respectivetaxing agency as taxes levied by such taxing agencies on all other property are paid, and KHRAshall give notice to all affected taxing agencies of such retirement. Excess taxes beyondamounts necessary to fund or reserve for eligible expenditures may be applied to principal and

interest of debt incurred to finance such eligible expenditures or shall revert to the taxing agencygeneral fund. In any event, the division of property taxes required by this document shall notcontinue for any tax year beyond 2029.

H. Property Tax Assessments and Collection.

1. The appropriate assessor shall, in each year during the period in whichtaxes are to be allocated to KHRA pursuant to Paragraph 0, compute and certify the netamount, if any, by which the current assessed value of all taxable property located within theProject Area which is subject to taxation by the particular taxing agency exceeds the baseassessment. The net amount of any such increase is referred to in this subdivision as theincremental value for that particular year.

2. In any year in which there exists a tax increment to be allocated to KHRA,the appropriate assessor shall exclude it from the assessed value upon which the appropriateassessor computes the tax rates for taxes levied that year by the taxing agency. However, theassessor shall extend the aggregate tax rate of such taxes against the Base Assessment andthe incremental value and shall apply the taxes collected there from as provided herein.

3. If in any year property comprising a portion of the Project Area shall beremoved from the tax rolls of a taxing agency, the Base Assessment for the Project Area shallbe reduced by the amount of the Base Assessment allocable to the property so removed foreach subsequent year in which taxes are to be allocated to a particular authority pursuant to theabove provisions.

Documentation for Assessor’s Office.

Upon approval of this Amendment, KHRA shall transmit to the assessor of property andthe chief financial officer for each taxing agency affected, a copy of the description of all landwithin the Project Area (including tax parcel numbers), the date or dates of the approval of theredevelopment plan or amendment thereto, a copy of the resolution approving theredevelopment plan or approving an Amendment thereto, a map or plat indicating theboundaries of such property and the Base Assessment with respect to the Project Area, andtaxes shall thereafter, when collected, be allocated and paid in the manner provided herein.

J. Excluded Taxes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, taxes levied upon propertysubject to tax-increment financing provisions by any taxing agency for the payment of principalof and interest on all bonds, loans or other indebtedness of such taxing agency, and taxeslevied by or for the benefit of the State of Tennessee (herein “Dedicated Taxes”), shall not besubject to allocation as provided in Paragraph 0 but shall be levied against the property and,when collected, paid to such taxing agency as taxes levied by such taxing agency on all otherproperty are paid and collected.

K. Interpretation.

This tax-increment financing amendment is being proposed pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann.§ 13-20-201, et. seq. and Tenn. Code Ann. § 9-23-101, et. seq. and all relevant provisions arehereby incorporated herein by reference. All provisions of this Amendment shall be construed ina manner consistent with said Code sections.

L. Conditions of Tax-Increment.

KHRA shall enter into a redevelopment agreement with Developer which requiresDeveloper to pursue and complete the Redevelopment Project in a diligent manner, and inaccordance with plans and specifications approved by KHRA. The redevelopment agreement tobe entered into between KHRA and Developer shall contain such terms as KHRA believesreasonably necessary to accomplish this purpose.

DOWNTOWN CBD REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICTEW. KING BUILDING PROJECT

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AMENDMENT

Tax-increment financing (“TIF”) is a redevelopment tool to be administered byhousing and redevelopment authorities codified at Tenn. Code Ann. §~13-20-2O4and205, et. seq. The purpose of TIF is to provide an economic stimulus for blighted propertyin need of redevelopment. Upon adoption of this Amendment, TIF may be utilized tofinance eligible redevelopment costs for a redevelopment project known as the E.W. KingBuilding (“E.W. King Building”) to be located within the existing Downtown CBDRedevelopment District subject to the provisions of this Amendment. The TIF shall beadministered as follows:

A. District History.

The Downtown CBD Redevelopment District was designated as a RedevelopmentDistrict by BRISTOL HOUSING (‘BRISTOL HOUSING”) in 2005. Due to its size and keylocation, redevelopment of this area is a critical component to complete thetransformation of the Downtown CBD Redevelopment District. The E.W. King BuildingProject Area of the Downtown CBD Redevelopment District is shown on the mapattached as Exhibit One (“Project Area”).

The Project Area is recognized as having a potential economic return to the Cityand County primarily due to its desirable location in the heart of downtown’s centralbusiness district. Delay of the redevelopment of this site will continue to have adeteriorative impact on the adjacent commercial areas. The use of TIF will allow theredevelopment of a well-located site which has remained underutilized for decades. Theexisting blighting influence and underutilization would be remediated or eliminated byimplementation of the proposed Redevelopment Project. Redevelopment of this areawould also create approximately 25 new jobs and perhaps more depending on theultimate use of the property. An additional 25 or more persons working and perhapsliving in Downtown Bristol will also provide an economic stimulus to the downtown area.The construction contemplated by the Project will all also create jobs and generate salestax through the purchase of materials.

Based on the foregoing circumstances and conditions, the Board ofCommissioners of BRISTOL HOUSING has determined that the District is blighted asdefined by TCA 13-20-201 et seq. The District experiences the following conditions:

1. Long-term vacant and underutilized property.

2. Deleterious land use.

3. Blighting effect of the continued vacancy and deterioration of the propertyand impact to the surrounding properties.

It is recommended that the project be redeveloped, rehabilitated and/or renovated

in order to correct such blighted and deteriorated conditions.

B. District Zoning and Land Use.

The redevelopment of the District shall comply with the Zoning Ordinances andbuilding codes as well as other applicable rules, laws, ordinances, codes and regulationsof the City. BRISTOL HOUSING shall also review the Plan and any redevelopmentprojects within the District with appropriate City agencies and officials to ensure that thePlan and the proposed redevelopment activities conform with local objectives relating toappropriate land uses, improved traffic flow, public transportation, public utilities,recreation and community facilities and other public improvements and needs. For amore complete description of the requirements and restrictions ofthe Zoning Ordinancesof the City, reference should be made to the Ordinances themselves. This propertyshould continue to be zoned B-2 by the City of Bristol.

The City and BRISTOL HOUSING will cooperate in the planning and constructionof improvements to the streets, roadways, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, parking systems,lighting, landscaping and traffic signalization and control.

C. Estimated Cost of the Prolect.

The total estimated costs of all the proposed improvements to be made byChampion Property Development, LLC (the “Developer”) for the E.W. King Building is $2,800,000.00. The proposed improvements include removal and replacement of theexisting windows and sprinkle system; new elevators, stairwells and restrooms; upgradesto the electrical system, the exterior façade and brickwork; and the build out of one ormore floors to meet the needs of potential tenants (the “Redevelopment Project”). Inaddition, BRISTOL HOUSING will be paid an annual administration fee equal to fivepercent of the total annual tax increment revenue received by BRISTOL HOUSING. TheProject will be located upon Sullivan County Tax Map 0200, Control Map 020D, Group F,Parcel 025.00 which is the sole tax parcel within the Project Area. The TIF shall belimited to eligible expenditures for the Redevelopment Project within the Project Area.

D. Sources of Revenue to Finance the Cost of the Proiect.

The primary sources of revenue to pay for the Redevelopment Project is aninvestment in the amount of $2,800,000.00 from the Developer and tax increment baseddebt (to be issued by the BRISTOL HOUSING in the form of bonds, notes, or otherindebtedness) in an amount not to exceed $ 475,000.00, but in no event in an amount toexceed the estimated amount of debt that can be amortized over the 15 year incrementperiods which are hereby authorized by City of Bristol (the “City”) and Sullivan County,Tennessee (the “County”). Current projections suggest that the tax increment from theproposed improvements within the Project Area will be sufficient to retire this amount ofindebtedness within a fifteen year amortization period for both the City and the County.

The total current property tax assessment for the Project Area is $119,840.00.This results in annual property tax payments to the City in the amount of $2,696.00 andannual property tax payments to the County in the amount of $3,086.36. TheRedevelopment Project would result in a total estimated assessed value for propertywithin the Project Area of $1,200,000.00. Based on current tax rates, this would result intotal estimated annual city taxes of$27,000.00 and total estimated annual county taxes of$ 30,904.80. Because Sullivan County has dedicated $0.2344 of its $25754 tax rate forrepayment of indebtedness and the City of Bristol has dedicated $0.13 of its $2.25 taxrate for repayment of indebtedness, that portion of the increment, pursuant to Tenn. CodeAnn. §~13-20-205and 9-23-1 03, shall not be allocated as provided in Paragraph G belowbut shall be collected and paid to the respective taxing agency as all other property taxesare collected and paid. Thus, the estimated total available increment from SullivanCounty taxes after the administration fee and statutory debt service set aside is $24,716.92. The estimated total available increment from City of Bristol taxes after theadministration fee and statutory debt service set aside is $22,899.39 resulting in anestimated total annual available tax increment from City and County of $ 46,471.42. Adetailed calculation of these estimated projections is attached hereto as Exhibit Two. Theredevelopment of the Project Area will not occur to the degree proposed without the useof tax-increment financing.

E. Amount and the Final Maturity of Bonded or other Indebtedness to beIncurred.

The amortization period for any indebtedness backed by the tax-incrementrevenue generated within the Project Area shall be no more than fifteen years from thedate of issuance of the debt. In any event, the final maturity date of all indebtednessissued pursuant to this Amendment shall be on or before May 15, 2034. Upon retirementof all bonds, loans, or other indebtedness incurred and payable from tax-increment funds,or at such time as monies on deposit in the tax-increment fund or funds are sufficient forsuch purpose, all property taxes resulting from the incremental development of theproject shall be retained by the appropriate taxing agency for disbursement according tolaw.

F. Impact ofthe Tax-Increment Financing Provisions Upon Taxing Agencies.

The total assessment of the City of Bristol’s real property tax base for the 2016 taxyear is approximately $ 608,567,930. The total assessment of Sullivan County’s realproperty tax base for the 2016 tax year is approximately $3,099,352,235. The currentassessment of the Project Area represents 0.0002 % of the City of Bristol’s property taxbase and 0.000039% of the Sullivan County property tax base. The estimatedassessment of the Proposed Improvements would represent 0.002 % of the current Cityof Bristol tax base and 0.00039 % of the current Sullivan County tax base. Based onthese small percentages, the City and the County (the two taxing agencies affected by

this Redevelopment Project) will not be substantially impacted financially by thistax-increment financing provision.

The development of the Redevelopment Project will result in additional workersand economic activity within the Redevelopment District. It is estimated approximately20 total jobs could be created during the construction phase of the RedevelopmentProject with total wages in excess of $1,000,000.00 which results in significant local taxesand other revenue for local governments. In addition, the long term impact includes theaddition of workers to the Downtown area and creates a total of approximately 25 jobswhich with total wages of almost $1,000,000.00 annually resulting in significant localtaxes and other revenue for local governments. While all these numbers rely on certainassumptions and projections, the end result of the Redevelopment Project is that a a longunderutilized building will be redeveloped, jobs will be created and the City and Countywill receive a substantial economic boost.

G. Division of Property Taxes.

Upon approval of this Amendment, the taxes levied and collected over the ProjectArea shall be collected by the appropriate taxing authorities in the same manner asprovided by law, except that said taxes shall be divided as follows:

1. The portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate atwhich the tax is levied each year by each taxing agency, upon the assessed value of suchproperty within the Project Area as of the 2016 tax year (which is the year of approval ofthis TIF amendment) (“Base Assessment”), shall be allocated to, and when collected,shall be paid to, the respective taxing agencies as taxes levied by such taxing agencieson all other property are paid; provided, that in any year in which taxes of the Project Areaare less than the Base Assessment and the Dedicated Taxes, there shall be allocatedand paid to those respective taxing agencies only those taxes actually imposed andcollected; and provided further, that, in any year or years in which the Base Assessmentwould be diminished solely due to a rate reduction under Title 67, Chapter 5, Part 17, ofthe Tennessee Code, the Base Assessment shall nevertheless be established at theamount originally determined.

2. Subject to the restraints herein and applicable law, all the taxeslevied in each year in excess of the Base Assessment and Dedicated Taxes shall beallocated to and, when collected, shall be paid into a special fund or funds of BRISTOLHOUSING to pay the administration fee and to pay the principal of and interest on anybonds, loans or other indebtedness incurred or to be incurred by BRISTOL HOUSING tofinance or refinance, in whole or in part, eligible redevelopment expenses of theRedevelopment Project contemplated by the Redevelopment Plan, and such otherexpenses as may be allowed by law.

3. Upon retirement of all bonds, loans or other indebtedness incurredby BRISTOL HOUSING and payable from such special fund or funds, or at such time as

monies on deposit in such special fund or funds are sufficient for such purpose, all taxeslevied each year in excess of the Base Assessment and Dedicated Taxes shall, whencollected, be paid to the respective taxing agency as taxes levied by sucn taxing agencieson all other property are paid, and BRISTOL HOUSING shall give notce to all affectedtaxing agencies of ~;uchretirement. Excess taxes beyond amounts necessary to fund orreserve for eligib!e expenditures may be applied to principal and interest of debt incurredto finance such eligible expenditures or shall revert to the taxing agency genera~fund, Inany event, the division of property taxes required by this document shall not continue forany tax year beyond 2033.

H. Property Tax Assessments and Collection.

1. The appropriate assessor shall, in each year during the period inwhich taxes are to be allocated to BRISTOL HOUSING pursuant to Paragraph G,compute and certify the net amount, if any, by which the current assessed value of alltaxable property located within the Project Area which is subject to taxation by theparticular taxing agency exceeds the base assessment. The net amount of any suchincrease is referred to in this subdivision as the incremental value for that particular year.

2. In any year in which there exists a tax increment to be allocated toBRISTOL HOUSING, the appropriate assessor shall exclude it from the assessed valueupon which the appropriate assessor computes the tax rates for taxes levied that year bythe taxing agency. However, the assessor shall extend the aggregate tax rate of suchtaxes against the Base Assessment and the incremental value and shall apply the taxescollected there from as provided herein.

3. If in any year property comprising a portion of the Project Area shallbe removed from the tax rolls of a taxing agency, the Base Assessment for the ProjectArea shall be reduced by the amount of the Base Assessment allocable to the property soremoved for each subsequent year in which taxes are to be allocated to a particularauthority pursuant to the above provisions.

I. Documentation for Assessor’s Office.

Upon approval of this Amendment, BRISTOL HOUSING shall transmit to theassessor of property and the chief financial officer for each taxing agency affected, a copyof the description of all land within the Project Area (including tax parcel numbers), thedate or dates of the approval of the redevelopment plan or amendment thereto, a copy ofthe resolution approving the redevelopment plan or approving an Amendment thereto, amap or plat indicating the boundaries of such property and the Base Assessment withrespect to the Project Area, and taxes shall thereafter, when collected, be allocated andpaid in the manner provided herein.

J. Excluded Taxes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, taxes levied upon propertysubject to tax-increment financing provisions by any taxing agency for the payment of

principal of and interest on all bonds, loans or other indebtedness of such taxing agency,and taxes levied by or for the benefit of the State of Tennessee (herein “DedicatedTaxes”), shall not be subject to allocation as provided in Paragraph G but shall be leviedagainst the property and, when collected, paid to such taxing agency as taxes levied bysuch taxing agency on all other property are paid and collected.

K. Interpretation.

This tax-increment financing amendment is being proposed pursuant to Twin.Code Ann. § 13-20-201, et. seq. and Tenn. Code Ann. § 9-23-101, et. seq. and allrelevant provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference. All provisions of thisAmendment shall be construed in a manner consistent with said Code sections.

L. Conditions of Tax Increment.

BRISTOL HOUSING shall enter into a redevelopment agreement with Developerwhich requires Developer to pursue and complete the Redevelopment Project in adiligent manner, and in accordance with plans and specifications approved by BRISTOLHOUSING. The redevelopment agreement to be entered into between BRISTOLHOUSING and Developer shall contain such terms as BRISTOL HOUSING believesreasonably necessary to accomplish this purpose.
