agree as follows:
1. Definitions and Recitals.
1.1 Definitions.

Intergovernmental Agreement shall have the following meanings unless the context
clearly requires otherwise:
"Intergovernmental Agreement" means this Intergovernmental Agreement between
the City and SEDA.
"Outstanding Balance" means the sum of all advances to SEDA by the City under
Section 2.1 of this Intergovernmental Agreement, less all Repayments of principal
that have been made by SEDA.
"Repayments" means the payments SEDA is required to make to the City under
Section 2.3 of this Intergovernmental Agreement.
"Projects" means urban renewal projects that are properly described in SEDA's urban
renewal plan for the Glenwood and Downtown Urban Renewal Area, and any other
costs for which the Tax Increment Revenues may be spent under Oregon law.
However, "Projects" shall not include any loans to third parties unless the loans
receive the prior written approval of the City.

B. The cooperative and services agreement between SEDA and the City also states
that SEDA may borrow funds from time to time at terms and conditions
agreeable to City and SEDA.
C. The City and SEDA enter into this Intergovernmental Agreement to permit SEDA
to borrow up to 1.5 million from the City for costs of Projects or Project-related
administrative expenses as authorized by law.
2. The Repayments
2.1 Advances.
The City agrees to advance up to a maximum of $1,500,000 at any point in time to
SEDA upon receipt of written requests from SEDA. SEDA agrees not to request
advances more than 30 days prior to the time SEDA expects to spend the amount
that is advanced. Before funding any advance the City may require reasonable
supporting documentation in addition to the written request. In addition, the City
may bill SEDA quarterly for administrative expenses incurred by the City for the
benefit of SEDA. If SEDA fails to make timely payments of those invoices, the City
will treat the amount that is not paid as an additional advance to SEDA under this
Intergovernmental Agreement. The City shall notify SEDA if it so treats any unpaid
invoice.
2.2 Interest.
The Outstanding Balance shall bear interest at the rate paid to depositors by the
Oregon Short Term Fund (also known as the "Local Government Investment Pool"),
accrued monthly.
2.3 Repayment.
In the event an advance is made pursuant to this agreement, SEDA shall transfer all
Tax Increment Revenues it receives necessary to repay the advance and accrued
interest to the City within 15 days after those tax increment revenues are received.
Tax Increment Revenues paid by SEDA to the City shall be applied first, to pay
accrued interest, and second to reduce the Outstanding Balance.
2.4 Security for the Obligations of SEDA to Pay the Repayments.
SEDA hereby pledges its Tax Increment Revenues to pay the amounts described in
Section 2.1 of this Intergovernmental Agreement, and this Intergovernmental
Agreement shall constitute an indebtedness of SEDA. The pledge of Tax Increment
Revenues from the Glenwood Urban Renewal Area that secures this
Intergovernmental Agreement is subordinate to the pledge that secures Senior Lien
Borrowings issued under the Agency's Master Borrowing Declaration dated October

121 2016, as amended and supplemented, including as supplemented by the First
Supplemental Borrowing Declaration dated May 23, 2018, and the Second Borrowing
Supplemental Declaration dated November 29, 2022. The pledge of Tax Increment
Revenues from the Downtown Urban Renewal Area that secures this
Intergovernmental Agreement is subordinate to the pledge that secures Senior Lien
Borrowings issued under the Agency's Master Borrowing Declaration for the
Downtown Urban Renewal Area, which is expected to be executed April 2023, as it
may be amended and supplemented. Other than as described in the previous two
sentences, the pledge of the Tax Increment Revenues that secures this
Intergovernmental Agreement shall be superior to all other pledges or commitments
of Tax Increment Revenues that SEDA makes, unless the City agrees in writing to
subordinate its claim against the Tax Increment Revenues.
3. Miscellaneous.

upon SEDA and the City and their respective successors and assigns.
