The Project A brief summary of the facilities proposed by the Application to be financed (the "Project ") is set forth in the form of notice attached hereto and said description is hereby incorporated by reference herein. The Participating Party proposes that the real and personal property constituting the Project be used for commercial "purposes, and the participation by the City in the financing of the acquisition of the Project will encourage commercial development within the City and facilitate the achievement of the purposes of the Bond Law. 4. Project Costs and Bonds For the purpose of paying the Project Costs, the City shall issue its revenue bonds or other revenue financing under the Bond Law in principal amount adequate to finance the Project, the maximum amount of which is currently estimated at $2,250,000 (the "Bonds ")'. Other terms of the Bonds, the methods of providing for the security and payment of the Bonds and the sale and delivery -of the Bonds shall be as stated in the Application or as shall be agreed upon between the City and the Participating Party. To the extent financing is not obtained in an amount sufficient to pay or reimburse all Project Costs, the Participating Party will pay the other amounts required. 5. Project Completion The Project is estimated to be completed or available for use as stated in the Application, and Bonds to pay or reimburse the Participating Party therefor'are proposed to be issued prior to the expiration of one year -after the first placing in service of the facilities and within one year of the date of approval or reapproval of the Bonds by the City Council following a public hearing.

Project Benefits It is likely that the participation by this City in the financing of the acquisition of the Project will be a substantial factor in securing and increasing the number of persons employed and aggregate direct employment earnings within the City.
