2.02. Principal and interest ( "Payments ") on the Interfund Loan shall be paid
semi - annually on each August 1 and February 1 (each a "Payment Date "), commencing

last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District.
2.03. Payments on the Interfund Loan will be made solely from Available Tax
Increment, defined as tax increment from the TIF District received by the Authority from
Wright County in the six -month period before any Payment Date. Payments shall be
applied first to accrued interest, and then to unpaid principal. Payments on this Interfund
Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds, notes or contracts secured
in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment, and are on a parity with any other
outstanding or future interfund loans secured in whole or in part with Available Tax
Increment.
2.04. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this resolution is
pre - payable in whole or in part at any time by the Authority without premium or penalty.
2.05. This resolution is evidence of an internal borrowing by the Authority in
accordance with Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited
obligation payable solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof
under this resolution. The Interfund Loan shall not be deemed to constitute a general
obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including,
without limitation, the Authority and the City. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor any
political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the
Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment. The
Authority shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund Loan or
accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date.
2.06. The Authority may at any time make a determination to forgive the
outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the Interfund Loan to the extent
permissible under law.
