114433460\V-5
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT REGARDING LEASE STRUCTURE AND
VALUATION OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST
Eagle Environmental Construction & Development LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Company”), has evaluated the feasibility of financing the acquisition, construction, equipping, and installation of a mixed-use development consisting of apartments, parking, commercial and retail space, and an economic development project under O.C.G.A. § 36-62-2(6)(N) (the “Project”), to be owned by the Development Authority of Fulton County (the “Authority”) and leased to the Company. The Project is to be located at 395 and 409 Whitehall Street SW, in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, which currently consists of unused parcels, previously occupied by Simmons Metal Plating Company, and on land which is more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Project Site”). Building fixtures and equipment (the “Equipment”) related to the Project are more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made part hereof.
The Company estimates that by September 1, 2023, it would have theretofore made or caused to be made aggregate capital expenditures of approximately $100,000,000.00 towards the acquisition, construction, equipping, installation and leasing of the Project on behalf of the Authority, for lease to the Company. The Company projects that the Project will generate 22 new retail jobs, nine new property management jobs and approximately 100 temporary and full time construction jobs during Project construction, all new employment opportunities for individuals able to present the paperwork necessary to obtain legal employment. The parties agree that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an attestation by the Fulton County Board of Assessors (the “Board”) or the Authority as to the economic viability of the Project. The parties acknowledge that they have entered into this Memorandum in good faith, and that the Board and the Authority make no representations or warranties regarding any outcome or consequences of any future legal challenges.
In order to induce and facilitate the development of the Project within Fulton County, upon the Company’s request, the Authority will make available to the Company conduit taxable revenue bond financing in an amount not to exceed $100,000,000.00 (the “Bond Financing”), which covers all or a part of the anticipated capital investment at the Project, and the Board proposes to utilize the ad valorem valuation methodology set forth in this Memorandum.
Under the proposed transaction and contemporaneously with, or subsequent to, the closing of the Bond Financing, the Company would transfer the Project and all components thereof, as then existing, to the Authority, or cause the same to be so transferred, and the Authority and the Company would enter into a lease agreement (the “Lease,” substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) under which the Authority would lease the Project as then or thereafter existing to the Company. The Company’s rental payments under the Lease would be an amount sufficient, and would be payable at such times, as would permit the Authority to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds issued as part of the Bond Financing related to the Project (the “Bonds”) as and when the same become due and payable. The Lease would grant to the Company an option to acquire the Project at the termination of the Lease; provided that appropriate provision is made for the retirement of the Bonds prior to or in connection with any such conveyance of the
2 114433460\V-5
Project at the termination of the Lease. The Lease contains provisions permitting the assignment of the Company’s interest thereunder pursuant to certain conditions and requirements.
The Company may purchase the Bonds itself or through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or would otherwise arrange for purchase of the Bonds issued by the Authority. If the Company or any affiliate of the Company is the holder of all outstanding Bonds, the Company may prepay all Lease rentals and all Bond indebtedness by surrendering the Bonds or causing the Bonds to be surrendered to the Authority for cancellation.
It is anticipated that legal transfer of the Project to the Authority and the execution and delivery of the Lease between the Company and the Authority therefor would occur on or before December 1, 2020. The completion and/or occupancy of the Project by the Company, as determined by the Board, shall constitute the completion date (the “Completion Date”) for purposes of this Memorandum. As to be provided in the Lease, the Company will have access to and control of the Project prior to the Completion Date in order to complete the acquisition, construction, equipping, installation and leasing of the Project. The term of the Lease will expire on or about ten years from the date of the Completion Date.
All parties to this Memorandum recognize and agree that the Authority is not subject to ad valorem taxation on its interest in either the real property or the personal property portions of the Project. The parties further understand and agree that the Company will be subject to ad valorem taxation on its leasehold interest in the Project (the “Leasehold Interest”). Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 36-80-16.1(e) and the decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia in W.C. Harris, et al. vs. DeKalb County Board of Tax Assessors, 248 Ga. 277 (1981) (the “Harris Case”), which permits the Board to agree in advance to fixed or percentage, reasonable and non-arbitrary valuation methods, the parties (including any assignee of the Company pursuant to an assignment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease) desire to agree upon an appropriate, reasonable and non-arbitrary methodology for valuation of the Leasehold Interest. The Board acknowledges and attests to its familiarity with the form of Lease attached hereto as Exhibit C, and expressly confirms that it will discharge its official responsibility relating to the valuation of property within Fulton County for ad valorem tax purposes by appraising and valuing the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest in accordance with applicable law, including specifically Sherman v. Fulton County Board of Assessors, et al., 288 Ga. 88 (2010), SJN Properties, LLC v. Fulton County Board of Assessors, et al., 296 Ga. 793 (2015) and the Harris Case and the valuation technique therein set forth.
All parties to this Memorandum further recognize and agree that all or a portion of the Project Site constitutes “brownfield property” within the meaning of O.C.G.A. § 48-5.7.6 (the “Brownfield Preferential Assessment Act”). Since all or a portion of the Project Site does constitute brownfield property, the director of the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources of the State of Georgia has (i) approved a corrective action plan or compliance status report for such brownfield property; (ii) issued a limitation of liability with respect to such brownfield property; and (iii) certified certain eligible costs of remediation pursuant O.C.G.A. § 48-5.7.6(j). Accordingly, such brownfield property (including any subsequent improvements thereto) is subject to preferential classification and assessment for purposes of ad valorem property taxation, all as more particularly described in the Brownfield Preferential Assessment Act. The Authority further acknowledges that, notwithstanding the applicability of the Brownfield Preferential Assessment Act to all or a portion of the Project Site, it intends to enter
3 114433460\V-5
into the Bond Financing hereinabove described, pursuant to which the Authority shall issue the Bonds, obtain title to the Project Site, the Project and the Equipment, and lease the same to the Company pursuant to the Lease, thereby providing for the valuation of such leasehold interest in the manner and upon the terms set forth herein.
In order to provide the Company with sufficient information and certainty upon which it can base its decision to carry out the Project in Fulton County, the parties agree that it is important to set forth the methodology by which it is agreed that the Leasehold Interest of the Company in the Project will be valued for ad valorem property purposes. That methodology, which represents the utilization by the Board of the “income approach to appraisal” with a reasonable and non-arbitrary discounted cash flow analysis for the successive years of the Lease term, is as follows:
1. It is expected that the Project will be completed by September 1, 2023. There will be no value to the Leasehold Interest of the Company in the Project prior to the Completion Date in accordance with the precedent established in the Harris Case. Thus, there will be no ad valorem real property or personal property taxes on any assets acquired by the Authority in connection with the Project prior to January 1 of the year immediately following the Completion Date (the “Tax Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything herein to the contrary or any precedent under the Harris Case, to the extent that any property conveyed to the Authority as part of the Project was subject to ad valorem taxation in Fulton County prior to such conveyance, the Company hereby agrees that such property shall remain subject to taxation in Fulton County until the Tax Commencement Date, and the Company agrees to tender timely tax payment amounts to Fulton County, based on the assessed value of such property for tax purposes immediately prior to the conveyance of such property to the Authority.
2. Beginning on the Tax Commencement Date, assets acquired by the Authority will be valued for ad valorem property tax purposes based on the following ten (10) year schedule, which has been determined based on the precedent established in the Harris Case and utilizes approximate percentages to reflect the discounted cash flow analysis, with a seven percent (7%) discount rate over the successive years of said ten (10) year schedule. During each year, the Leasehold Interest of the Company in the assets acquired and owned by the Authority will be subject to taxation by the applicable governmental jurisdiction at the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest in that year as determined by the Board in accordance with this Memorandum. It is agreed that the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest of the Company in such assets shall increase as the lease term progresses and for any year will equal the “applicable percentage” for such year as described above and as set forth below, multiplied by the fair market value of the fee interest of such assets in such year. The “applicable percentage” in each year during this ten (10)-year period will be as follows:
4 114433460\V-5
First Year 50% Second Year 55% Third Year 60% Fourth Year 65% Fifth Year 70% Sixth Year 75% Seventh Year 80% Eighth Year 85% Ninth Year 90% Tenth Year 95%
Following the tenth (10th) year, the Leasehold Interest of the Company will be subject to taxation at 100% of the fair market value of the fee interest.
3. The determination of the fair market value of the fee interest in any asset in any year following the Tax Commencement Date (prior to being reduced by the applicable percentage) will be subject to periodic reassessment, for which the Board will employ its standard valuation methods. The fair market value of the Leasehold Interest valued thereunder, after being reduced by the applicable percentage, shall be multiplied by 40% to determine the assessed value of each such category for such year and thereafter multiplied by the millage rate established by Fulton County and any applicable municipality, to the extent the Project is located within the geographical boundaries of such municipality, with respect to such year, to determine the ad valorem tax for such year. The parties agree that in addition to the determination of the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest provided for herein, the Company shall be entitled to claim the preferential assessment available for “eligible brownfield costs” as defined by O.C.G.A. § 48-5-7.6(a)(3) and as certified by the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
On an annual basis, the Company shall return the property comprising the Project for ad valorem taxation purposes in Fulton County and shall also deliver to the Authority and the Board on or before the anniversary date of this Memorandum such additional documentation and information as may be necessary in order for the Board to value the Project and portions thereof. It is the responsibility of the Company to provide to the Authority and the Board a copy of the certificate of occupancy for the Project, if applicable, in order for the Board to properly value the Project and apply the above schedule.
4. By their signature appearing at the end of this Memorandum, all parties (including any assignee of the Company pursuant to an assignment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease) acknowledge having reviewed the specific terms of the Lease and now concur in the above valuation of the Leasehold Interests for ad valorem tax purposes by Board.

FULTON COUNTY
BOND RESOLUTION FACT SHEET 409 WHITEHALL MIX USE DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT NAME: 409 Whitehall Mix Use Development
LOCATION: 395 and 409 Whitehall Street SW Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Council District 4; NPU M
INVESTMENT: Approximately $100,000,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project, located on a 1.66-acre parcel at 395 and 409 Whitehall Street, just blocks from Interstate 20, between US-41 and the Garnett MARTA station, would be a mixed-use development, consisting of commercial/retail space and apartments.
It would transform currently unused parcels (Previous Simmons Metal Plating Company), burdened with significant environmental issues, into a development providing a concentration and diversity of activities, supplying vitality to this underutilized boulevard that connects downtown to Interstate 20. The proposed development would be a secure, attractive, high quality environment for the residents and tenants of the project.
The residential towers for the proposed project include a nine-story steel frame building (Type IA) over a concrete podium. The total project development will consist of the following:
356 Apartments o 57 Studio Units (525 square feet) o 242 1 Bedroom Units (700 square feet) o 57 2 Bedroom Units (1000 square feet)
377 Parking Spaces
13,604 square feet Commercial / Retail
For this project, retail spaces are planned along Whitehall Street with a pedestrian plaza out-front. The retail podium of 13,604 SF is planned for a grocery, cleaners, café and potentially a jazz night club. The 40 plus parking places for the retail are contained within the base of the building. The entrances and exits for the parking as well as the residential units are placed at each end of the 1.66 acre plus parcel using an existing alley and a relocated alley.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The project site Parcels were formerly owned and operated by Simmons
Plating Works, Inc. from the 1950’s to 2002. In 2002, the owner abandoned the Lien Parcels leaving certain hazardous materials and wastes on the site. The Environmental Protection Division (“EPD”) listed the Lien Parcels on the Hazardous Site Inventory in November 2002 (HSI #10747). Subsequently, EPD conducted certain assessment and removal actions at the Parcels using funds from the Georgia Hazardous Waste Trust Fund. This
12965114v.2
site remains underutilized because of the balance of hazardous materials left on site. The proposed project would not only put currently unused parcels of land to productive economic use but would also remove a significant impediment to revitalization and development of the surrounding areas by remedying the physically hazardous and aesthetically unappealing state of the project site as it exists today.
However, constructing the project in this busy urban corridor on a site burdened by such significant environmental issues creates additional costs that challenge our ability to deliver the project in an economically feasible way. Below is a summary of the costs associated with the environmental remediation required to safely construct the project as well as the costs of complying with City of Atlanta zoning requirements and additional obligations imposed in connection with the project’s special administrative permit process with the City:
Remediation costs – $19,147,476
Detention pond to be located in the northwest corner of the project $657,000
Widened sidewalks – $658,000
Walking trails – $658,000
Commercial Tenant Improvement and Corridors - $3,078,566
Such additional incurred costs would make the project difficult to complete without bond-for-title property tax incentives. Revenue Bond financing from the Development Authority of Fulton County would help mitigate the cost challenges this project faces, making an investment in the project more feasible and more attractive relative to other potential investments. We are confident that revenue bond financing from the Authority would help us to construct the project successfully and add great value to downtown Atlanta.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS:
Approximately $100 million of investment in SW Downtown Atlanta
Project will create up to 22 new retail and 9 new property management jobs
Project will create 73 temporary and 31 full time construction jobs
Estimated increase in annual property tax revenue of $2.2 million
AFFORDABLE COMMITMENT
In keeping with our commitment to advancing the economic and social welfare of the City of Atlanta, Fulton County and their residents, we understand the affordability requirements imposed by City of Atlanta Ordinance No. 16-O-1163 and intend to ensure that the project complies with them. We have had several discussions with City of Atlanta officials regarding our plan for compliance already and expect that those conversations will continue as preliminary development work moves forward.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT REGARDING LEASE STRUCTURE AND
VALUATION OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST
Airport Logistics West, LLC a Georgia limited liability company (the “Company”), has evaluated the feasibility of financing the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a distribution and operations facility and economic development project under O.C.G.A. § 36-62-2(6)(N) in Fulton County, Georgia (the “Project”) to be owned by the Development Authority of Fulton County (the “Authority”) and leased to the Company. The Project is located on Stonewall Tell Road near the intersection of South Fulton Parkway, Union City, Fulton County, Georgia on land more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Project Site”). Personal property, machinery, fixtures and equipment (the “Equipment”) related to the Project are more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made part hereof.
The Company estimates that by December 31, 2022, it would have theretofore made or caused to be made aggregate capital expenditures of approximately $18,000,000 towards the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Project on behalf of the Authority, for lease to the Company. The Project will permit the creation of approximately 50 full-time, permanent jobs and approximately 200 jobs during Project construction, all new employment opportunities for individuals able to present the paperwork necessary to obtain legal employment. The parties agree that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an attestation by the Fulton County Board of Assessors (the “Board”) or the Authority as to the economic viability of the Project. The parties acknowledge that they have entered into this Memorandum in good faith, and that the Board and the Authority make no representations or warranties regarding any outcome or consequences of any future legal challenges.
In order to induce and facilitate the development of the Project within Fulton County, upon the Company’s request the Authority will make available to the Company conduit taxable revenue bond financing in an amount not to exceed $18,000,000 (the “Bond Financing”), which covers all or a part of the anticipated capital investment at the Project, and the Board proposes to utilize the ad valorem valuation methodology set forth in this Memorandum.
Under the proposed transaction and contemporaneously with, or subsequent to, the closing of the Bond Financing, the Company, through itself and its affiliates, would transfer the Project and all components thereof, as then existing, to the Authority, or cause the same to be so transferred, and the Authority and the Company would enter into a lease agreement (the “Lease,” substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) under which the Authority would lease the Project as then or thereafter existing to the Company. The Company’s rental payments under the Lease would be an amount sufficient, and would be payable at such times, as would permit the Authority to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds issued as part of the Bond Financing (the “Bonds”) as and when the same become due and payable. The Lease would grant to the Company an option to acquire the Project at the termination of the Lease; provided that appropriate provision is made for the retirement of the Bonds prior to or in connection with any such conveyance of the Project at the termination of the Lease. The Lease contains provisions permitting the assignment of the Company’s interest thereunder pursuant to certain conditions and requirements.
The Company may purchase the Bonds itself or through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or would otherwise arrange for purchase of the Bonds issued by the Authority. If
2 31348/15 6951610v1
the Company or any affiliate of the Company is the holder of all outstanding Bonds, the Company may prepay all Lease rentals and all Bond indebtedness by surrendering the Bonds or causing the Bonds to be surrendered to the Authority for cancellation.
It is anticipated that legal transfer of the Project to the Authority will commence and the execution and delivery of the Lease between the Company and the Authority therefor would occur on or before December 31, 2020, and that completion of the acquisition, renovation and equipping of the Project is anticipated on or about December 31, 2022. The completion and/or occupancy of the Project by the Company as reasonably determined by the Board shall constitute the completion date (the “Completion Date”) for purposes of this Memorandum. As provided in the Lease, the Company will have access to and control of the Project prior to the Completion Date in order to complete the acquisition, renovation, equipping, and leasing of the Project. The term of the Lease will expire on or about ten years from the date of the Completion Date.
All parties to this Memorandum recognize and agree that the Authority is not subject to ad valorem taxation on its interest in either the real property or the personal property portions of the Project. The parties further understand and agree that the Company will be subject to ad valorem taxation on its leasehold interest in the Project (the “Leasehold Interest”). Pursuant to O.C.G.A. 36-80-16.1(e) and the decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia in W.C. Harris, et al. vs. DeKalb County Board of Tax Assessors, 248 Ga. 277 (1981) (the “Harris Case”), which permits the Board to agree in advance to fixed or percentage, reasonable and non-arbitrary valuation methods, the parties (including any assignee of the Company pursuant to an assignment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease) desire to agree upon an appropriate, reasonable and non-arbitrary methodology for valuation of the Leasehold Interest. The Board acknowledges and attests to its familiarity with the form of Lease attached hereto as Exhibit C, and expressly confirms that it will discharge its official responsibility relating to the valuation of property within Fulton County for ad valorem tax purposes by appraising and valuing the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest in accordance with applicable law, including specifically Sherman v. Fulton County Board of Assessors, et. al., 288 Ga. 88 (2010), SJN Properties, LLC v. Fulton County Board of Assessors, et. al., 296 Ga. 793 (2015) and the Harris Case and the valuation technique therein set forth.
In order to provide the Company with sufficient information and certainty upon which it can base its decision to carry out the Project in Fulton County, the parties agree that it is important to set forth the methodology by which it is agreed that the Leasehold Interest of the Company in the Project will be valued for ad valorem property purposes. That methodology, which represents the utilization by the Board of the “income approach to appraisal” with a reasonable and non-arbitrary discounted cash flow analysis for the successive years of the Lease term, is as follows:
1. It is expected that acquisition, renovation, and equipping of the Project will be completed by December 31, 2022. There will be no value to the Leasehold Interest of the Company in the Project prior to the Completion Date in accordance with the precedent established in the Harris Case. Thus, there will be no ad valorem real property or personal property taxes on any assets acquired by the Authority in connection with the Project prior to January 1 of the year immediately following the Completion Date (the “Tax Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything herein to the contrary or any precedent under the Harris Case, to the extent any property conveyed to the Authority as part of the Project was subject to ad valorem taxation in Fulton County prior to such conveyance, the Company
3 31348/15 6951610v1
hereby agrees that such property shall remain subject to taxation in Fulton County until the Tax Commencement Date, and the Company agrees to tender timely tax payment amounts to Fulton County, based on the assessed value of such property for tax purposes immediately prior to the conveyance of such property to the Authority.
2. Beginning on the Tax Commencement Date, assets acquired by the Authority in connection with the Project to which such Tax Commencement Date relates will be valued for ad valorem property tax purposes based on the following ten (10)-year schedule, which has been determined based on the precedent established in the Harris Case and utilizes approximate percentages to reflect the discounted cash flow analysis, with a seven percent (7%) discount rate over the successive years of said ten (10) year schedule. During each year, the Leasehold Interest of the Company in the assets acquired and owned by the Authority in connection with the Project will be subject to taxation by the applicable governmental jurisdiction at the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest in that year as determined by the Board in accordance with this Memorandum. It is agreed that the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest of the Company in such assets shall increase as the lease term progresses and for any year will equal the “applicable percentage” for such year as described above and as set forth below, multiplied by the fair market value of the fee interest of such assets in such year. The “applicable percentage” in each year during this ten (10)-year period will be as follows:
First Year Second Year Third Year
50% 55% 60%
Fourth Year 65% Fifth Year 70% Sixth Year 75% Seventh Year 80% Eighth Year 85% Ninth Year 90% Tenth Year 95%
Following the tenth (10th) year, the Leasehold Interest of the Company will be subject to taxation at 100% of the fair market value of the fee interest.
3. The determination of the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest in any asset in any year following the Tax Commencement Date (prior to being reduced by the applicable percentage) will be subject to periodic reassessment, for which the Board will employ its standard valuation methods. The fair market value of the Leasehold Interest valued thereunder, after being reduced by the applicable percentage, shall be multiplied by 40% to determine the assessed value of each such category for such year and thereafter multiplied by the millage rate established by Fulton County and any applicable municipality, to the extent the Project is located within the geographical boundaries of such municipality, with respect to such year, to determine the ad valorem tax for such year.
On an annual basis, the Company shall return the property comprising the Project for ad valorem taxation purposes in Fulton County and shall also deliver to the Authority and the Board on or before the anniversary date of this Memorandum such additional documentation and
4 31348/15 6951610v1
information as may be necessary in order for the Board to value the Project and portions thereof. It is the responsibility of the Company to provide to the Authority and the Board a copy of the certificate of occupancy for the Project, if applicable, in order for the Board to properly value the Project and apply the above schedule.
By their signature appearing at the end of this Memorandum, all parties (including any assignee of the Company pursuant to an assignment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease) acknowledge having reviewed the specific terms of the Lease and now concur in the above valuation of the Leasehold Interests for ad valorem tax purposes by Board.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
AIRPORT LOGISTICS CENTER WEST
Airport Logistics West, LLC (“ALW”) is proposing to construct, through itself and/or an affiliated entity, a 249,000 square foot distribution/operations facility (the “Project”) in Union City, Fulton County, Georgia. The Project will be constructed on a single tax parcel located on Stonewell Tell Road, near the intersection with South Fulton Parkway. The property is currently under ALW’s control.
ALW intends to lease the facility to an as-yet unidentified third-party company (the “Tenant”).
If constructed, upon opening of the facility, ALW anticipates the Tenant will create 50-60 new employment positions in Fulton County with a projected annual payroll of $2,000,000 - $2,400,000 per year. In addition. ALW is estimating that 200+jobs will be created during the construction of the Project.
The projected capital budget for the Project is $18,000,000. It is anticipated that the Project will be financed through a single bond issue.
The proposed Project site poses several challenges which must be addressed in order for the Project to be constructed. Those include:
1. The site is topographically challenged, with ground level variances in excess of 50 feet. As a result, transforming the property into a level, workable building site will require substantial movement of dirt and removal of substandard dirt (in the low areas there is significant collection of silt and other byproducts from years of accumulated runoff) In addition, there is a reasonable amount of rock, above the projected building level, which will need to be removed. Current estimates of the required preparatory work are in excess of $1,500,000.
2. The topography of the site also poses significant ingress/egress challenges which, to resolve to market standards, will require remediation costing at least $400,000.
3. In addition to the above, there is also a stream on the western portions of the property, which substantially impacts the construction design options for the site.
In addition to these changes, ALW has discussed with representatives of Union City the potential construction of certain public infrastructure improvements (such as sidewalks and roadway improvements on Stonewall Tell). The final plans for these improvements are still being developed.
In addition to the significant local job growth directly attributable to the Project, it is anticipated that this Project will spur further growth in the area, resulting in additional job growth and economic activity.

Re: The Atlanta Development Authority Taxable Lease Purchase Revenue
Bonds (City Lights II-A Project)
Dear Mr. Robinson and Ms. Ahmed:
Thank you again for assisting The Atlanta Development Authority (the “Authority”) ensure that the development initiatives established for our community are implemented. As you know, the Authority is governed by a nine member Board of Directors which includes a representative of each of Fulton County’s taxing jurisdictions (Atlanta, Fulton County and the Board of Education of the City of Atlanta). At the Authority’s Board of Directors meeting on December 19, 2019, it approved providing assistance to City Lights Associates II-A, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Company”), in connection with the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of a multifamily housing development to be located at 486 Boulevard, N.E., 496 Boulevard, N.E., 479 Parkway Drive, N.E., 483 Parkway Drive, N.E., 489 Parkway Drive, N.E. and 495 Parkway Drive, N.E., in the City of Atlanta. The project is projected to result in approximately $38,000,000 of capital being invested and expected to result in the creation of approximately 5 direct permanent full-time jobs and approximately 138 temporary construction jobs, and add 123 affordable residential units in a targeted area.
The Authority approved this project following a careful and deliberate review process. As you are probably aware, the Authority adopted certain “Defined Economic Development Benefit” criteria which must be met prior to inducing a project to participate in its Lease Purchase Bond Program. This project meets that standard. It is important to the continued viability of many projects in Atlanta that we provide this type of assistance as we compete against other communities in our region for new development. To that end, we would respectfully request your assistance in reviewing and approving the Memorandum of Agreement that has been proposed so that the project can be completed and closed.
Mr. Dwight Robinson, Chief Appraiser Ms. Salma Ahmed, Board Chair April 24, 2020 Page 2 of 2
Please feel free to contact me directly at (404) 880-4100 if you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT REGARDING LEASE STRUCTURE AND
VALUATION OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST
(City Lights Associates II-A, LLC)
This MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT REGARDING LEASE STRUCTURE AND VALUATION OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST (the “Memorandum of Agreement”), dated as of May 1, 2020, is entered into by and among City Lights Associates II-A, LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Georgia (the “Company”), The Atlanta Development Authority d/b/a/ Invest Atlanta (the “Authority”), and the Fulton County Board of Assessors (the “Board”).
The Company is presently evaluating the feasibility of financing the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of a new multifamily rental housing development and related amenities to be located at 486 Boulevard, N.E., 496 Boulevard, N.E., 479 Parkway Drive, N.E., 483 Parkway Drive, N.E., 489 Parkway Drive, N.E. and 495 Parkway Drive, N.E., in the City of Atlanta, Georgia (the “Project”), as more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto.
On September 20, 2018, following a preliminary study and investigation of the Project, the Authority adopted a resolution (the “Resolution”) declaring that the Project is consistent with and furthers the public purpose of the Authority to develop trade, commerce, industry and employment opportunities and satisfies the criteria set forth in the Authority’s “Second Amended and Restated Lease Purchase Bond Guidelines for Economic Development.” To facilitate and encourage the development of the Project in Atlanta, the Resolution also authorized the issuance of taxable lease-purchase revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $38,000,000 (the “Bonds”). The proposed Project is expected to result in the creation of approximately 4 direct permanent new jobs, approximately 138 temporary construction jobs and add 123 affordable residential units in a targeted area, all in the area of operation of the Authority. The acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of the Project is expected to cost not less than $38,000,000. The parties agree that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an attestation by the Board or the Authority as to the economic viability of the Project. Under the financing, the Authority would own the Project purchased with the bond proceeds and sublease the Project to the Company under a lease, as amended from time to time (the “Lease”), to secure the Bonds.
Under the proposed transaction and contemporaneously with the issuance of the Bonds, the Company would transfer title to the Project, as then existing, to the Authority, and the Authority and the Company would enter into the Lease under which the Authority would lease the Project as then or thereafter existing to the Company. The Company’s rental payments under the Lease would be an amount sufficient, and would be payable at such times, as would permit the Authority to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding Bonds. The Lease grants to the Company an option to acquire the Project and terminate the Lease at any time, provided that appropriate provision is made for the retirement of the Bonds prior to or in connection with any conveyance of the Project at the termination of the Lease. The Lease
2
contains provisions permitting the assignment and sublease of the Company’s interest thereunder pursuant to certain conditions and requirements.
The Company will purchase all of the Bonds for itself, or an affiliate, in a private placement and will be solely responsible for the repayment of all amounts due in respect of the Bonds through the Lease payments. As a result, the Company will be both the owner of the Bonds and obligor under the Lease for the payment of the debt represented by the Bonds. The Bonds will be payable through a Home Office Payment Agreement with the Company pursuant to which it will make notations on its own books to record payments, as lessee, and credits, as bondholder, without the obligation to make payments through the Authority or any bond trustee. The Bonds will not be sold or distributed in public markets.
While it is anticipated that legal transfer of the Project to the Authority and the execution and delivery of the Lease therefor will occur on or before June 30, 2020, the commencement of the Company’s leasehold interest in the Project for ad valorem property tax purposes will not occur until the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of the Project is substantially completed and available for use by the Company or its successors in interest. The completion of the Project by the Company, as determined by the Board, shall constitute the substantial completion date (the “Substantial Completion Date”) for purposes of this Memorandum of Agreement. It is understood that the Company will have access to the Project prior to the Substantial Completion Date of the Project. The term of the Lease will expire on or about ten years after the Substantial Completion Date or at such earlier time provided for in the Lease.
All parties to this Memorandum recognize and agree that the Authority is not subject to ad valorem taxation on its interest in either the real property or the personal property interests in the Project, inasmuch as the Project is a “project” authorized by Official Code of Georgia, Section 36-62-1, et seq., (the “Development Authorities Law”). The parties further understand and agree that the Company or each of its successors in interest who will be Lessees will be subject to ad valorem taxation on its leasehold interest in the Project (the “Leasehold Interest”). Pursuant to the decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia in W. C. Harris, et al. vs. DeKalb County Board of Tax Assessors, 248 Ga. 277 (1981) (the “Harris Case”), which permits the Board to agree in advance to fixed, reasonable and non-arbitrary valuation methods, the parties (including any assignee of the Company pursuant to an assignment in accordance with the applicable provisions of any such Lease) desire to agree upon an appropriate, reasonable and non-arbitrary methodology for valuation of the Leasehold Interest of the Company in the Project. The Board acknowledges and attests to its familiarity with the form of the Lease attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and expressly confirms that it will discharge its official responsibility relating to the valuation of property within Fulton County for ad valorem tax purposes by appraising and valuing the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest in accordance with applicable law, including specifically the Harris Case and Sherman v. Fulton County Board of Assessors, et al., 288 Ga. 88 (2010) and the valuation technique therein set forth. Taking into account the encumbrance on the Project represented by the Bonds, the parties agree that the Project shall be valued as provided by the schedule set forth below. The Company agrees that on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Lease or (ii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Tax Commencement Date, the valuation of that real property and items of personal property comprising the Project remaining in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, will revert to the standard valuation of such
3
item so that no item will be valued under the schedule set forth below for any period of more than ten (10) years, as described below.
In order to provide the Company with sufficient information and certainty upon which it can base its decision to acquire, construct, install and equip the Project in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, the parties agree that it is important to set forth the methodology by which it is agreed that the Leasehold Interest of the Company in the Project will be valued for ad valorem property purposes. That methodology shall be as set forth in the following paragraph:
It is expected that the Project will be completed and available for occupancy and beneficial use by the Company by December 31, 2022. There will be no value to the Leasehold Interest of the Company or its successors or assigns under the Lease prior to the Substantial Completion Date in accordance with the precedent established in the Harris Case. Thus, there will be no ad valorem real property or personal property taxes on any assets acquired by the Authority in connection with the Project prior to January 1 of the year immediately following the Substantial Completion Date (the “Tax Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything herein to the contrary or any precedent under the Harris Case, to the extent that any property conveyed to the Authority was subject to ad valorem taxation in Fulton County prior to such conveyance, the Company hereby agrees that such property shall remain subject to taxation in Fulton County until the Tax Commencement Date, and the Company agrees to tender timely tax payment amounts to Fulton County, based on the assessed value of such property for tax purposes immediately prior to the conveyance of such property to the Authority.
Beginning on the Tax Commencement Date, assets acquired by the Authority related to the Project will be valued for ad valorem property tax purposes based on the following ten (10)-year schedule, which has been determined based on the precedent established in the Harris Case and utilizes approximate percentages to reflect the discounted cash flow analysis, with a seven percent (7%) discount rate over successive years of said ten (10) year schedule. During each year, the Leasehold Interest of the Company (or successors or assigns) in the assets acquired by the Authority and leased to it will be subject to taxation by the applicable governmental jurisdiction at the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest in that year as determined by the Board in accordance with this Memorandum. It is agreed that the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest of the Company in such assets shall increase as the Lease term progresses and for any year will equal the “applicable percentage” for such year as set forth below, multiplied by the fair market value of the fee value of such assets in such year. The “applicable percentage” in each year during this ten (10)-year period will be as follows:
4
First Year 50% Second Year 55% Third Year 60% Fourth Year 65% Fifth Year 70% Sixth Year 75% Seventh Year 80% Eighth Year 85% Ninth Year 90% Tenth Year 95%
Following the tenth (10th) year, the Leasehold Interest of the Company (or successor in interest) will be subject to taxation at 100% of the fair market value of the fee interest.
The determination of the fair market value of the Leasehold Interest in any asset in any year (prior to being reduced by the applicable percentage) will be subject to periodic reassessment, for which the Board will employ standard valuation methods, including depreciation of improvements and personalty, using customary useful life tables and other consideration such as superadequacy, where appropriate. The fair market value of the Leasehold Interest valued thereunder shall be multiplied by 40% to determine the assessed value of each such category for such year and thereafter multiplied by the millage rate established by Fulton County and any applicable taxing entity, including any municipality, to the extent the Project is located within the geographical boundaries of such municipality, with respect to such year, to determine the ad valorem tax for such year.
The Company shall return the property comprising the Project leased by it for ad valorem taxation purposes in Fulton County annually and shall also deliver to the Authority and the Board on or before the anniversary date of this Memorandum such additional documentation and information as may be necessary in order for the Board to value the Project and portions thereof. It is the responsibility of the Company to provide to the Authority and the Board with a copy of the certificate of occupancy or other evidence of the Company’s commencement of its beneficial use of the Project following the Substantial Completion Date in order for the Board to properly value the Project and apply the above schedule.
The Company may, at any time, terminate the Lease, which termination would require payment in full of the Bonds (if the Company owns the Bonds, this may be accomplished by canceling the Bonds and surrendering them to the Authority). At any time that the Lease is terminated or has expired, the Project will be taxed based upon the valuation formula set forth above for that portion of the year in which the Lease was in effect, and based upon the standard non-leasehold valuation for that portion of the year after the Lease was terminated.
By their signatures appearing at the end of this Memorandum, all parties (including any assignee of the Company pursuant to an assignment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease) acknowledge having reviewed the specific terms of the Lease and now concur in the above valuation of the Leasehold Interest for ad valorem tax purposes by the Board.
