Action Requested
Approve, by motion, the resolution approving the amendment of loan terms for F&M Properties, LLC
(Die-Concepts) and authorization to execute the amended loan documents.
Background/Discussion
On May 23, 2016, the city approved a $185,200 Microloan as a short-term loan with a 5-year repayment term to
F&M Properties, LLC (Die-Concepts). The proceeds of the note were utilized to pay a portion of the relocation,
acquisition and renovation of the mortgaged property located at 18521 Line Avenue NW. They have been paying
the loan pursuant to city policy over the past 5 years with a 2% interest rate. Final payment is due June 1, 2021.
The city received a request to extend the terms of the loan repayment by two years. Loan extensions are
authorized under the terms of the policy, subject to EDA and City Council approval.
To justify the extension, Mr. Trapp provided a letter from CorTrust Bank stating the bank was unable to match
the current terms. Staff requested additional details from the bank to better understand the request. The
information was presented to the Joint Finance Committee at a special meeting on May 13, 2021, where they
recommended approval of the extension request.
Financial Impact
The request does not include additional funding from the city. If the extension is approved, it would provide
additional interest at 2% into the fund until the loan is paid in full. The extension would also reduce available
funds that could be used for other projects until the loan is paid in full.
Mission/Policy/Goal
To assist existing businesses with expansion and attract new businesses to the city whose local operations will
expand the city’s economy through job retention and creation and maintain/grow the city’s tax base. The
purpose of the Jobs Incentive Program is to encourage the creation of quality, high-paying jobs within the city.

Elk River Economic Development Authority
City Council of the City of Elk River
From: Mikaela Huot, Director
Date: May 12, 2021
Subject: F & M Properties, LLC (Die-Concepts, Inc.) Request for Microloan Extension
Background
The City of Elk River provided a $185,200 microloan to F & M Properties, LLC in May 2016. The company
utilized the funds to aid in the relocation to and acquisition and renovation of an existing building for their new
corporate headquarters for Die Concepts, Inc. The project was completed as proposed following award of the
microloan. The company met the job creation goals of relocating or creating at least 12 full-time equivalent jobs
at an hourly rate of at least $15.00 per hour or 150% of state or federal minimum wage as required pursuant to
the City’s business subsidy policy and terms of the loan agreement.
Action Item
The City received a request to extend the terms of the loan repayment by 2 years. This request and
subsequent consideration for granting, is authorized under the terms of the policy, subject to EDA and City
Council approval. The company has been making monthly payments on the loan consistent with the repayment
terms of the microloan policy over the past 5 years with a 2% interest rate and 25-year amortization. Based on
current terms of the loan, final balloon payment on the loan is to be made June 1, 2021 with an outstanding
balance as of that date of $146,253.78 plus interest of $243.81.
The company provided a letter from CorTrust Bank dated May 10, 2021 requesting that the EDA consider
providing a 2-year extension for repayment of the loan made to F & M Properties, LLC as the bank was unable
to match the EDA’s loan terms. The bank indicated a refinancing rate would be closer to 4.25% or greater and
would include an origination fee (estimated to be 1%). In addition to the financing terms being less favourable,
there would also be added time and expense associated with assembling necessary financial data from the
company and underwriting requirements to consider alternate financing options. Lastly, while the company has
provided financial statements showing consistent financial performance with positive annual retained earnings
for the years 2019 and 2020, and growing assets that include primarily accounts receivable and inventories, it
does not currently have sufficient liquid (cash) assets to make a balloon payment, with more time necessary.
The bank has indicated the loan would continue to be paid down over the next 2 years, consistent with the past
5 years, at which point the company would either refinance to pay the remaining loan balance or use company
assets when the final balloon payment is due. Continued payments on the existing loan structure would provide
additional cash flow through reduced interest costs that allow for the owner to continue investing in its
employees and company during the extended period.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance to the City of Elk River. Please contact me at 651-368-2533 or

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, F & M PROPERTIES, LLC, a Minnesota

DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF ELK RIVER, a public body corporate and
politic of the State of Minnesota (“Lender”), at 13065 Orono Parkway, Elk River, Minnesota 55330,
or such other place as the Lender or any other holder of this Amended and Restated Promissory Note
(the “Note”) may designate in writing, on or before June 1, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), the principal
sum of One Hundred Forty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Fifty-Three and 78/100 Dollars
($146,253.78), together with interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid thereon from time to
time from the date hereof (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days) at a
fixed interest rate of two percent (2.00%) per annum. This Note amends and restates in all respects a
Promissory Note, dated May 23, 2016 (the “Original Note”), from the Borrower to the Lender in the
original amount of $185,200.00. The Borrower has made payments under the Original Note since
2016.
This Note is made pursuant to a First Amendment to Loan Agreement, of even date herewith
(“First Amendment to Loan Agreement”), between the Borrower and the Lender, which amends and
supplements the Loan Agreement, dated May 23, 2016 (the “Original Loan Agreement,” and together
with the First Amendment to Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreement”) which provides for the
payment of the cost of relocation to, and purchase and renovation of an existing building. The
principal amount of this Note shall be amortized over a 20 year period. The principal amount of this
Note shall be amortized over a twenty (20) year period from May 23, 2016, when the Original
Note was provided.
Based on the foregoing, the Borrower shall be obligated to make monthly installments (each
a “Monthly Installment”) in the amount of $936.90, which Monthly Installments shall commence on
June 1, 2021, and continue on the first (1st) day of each and every month thereafter until the Maturity
Date, when all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be payable in full. The final
payment shall be a balloon payment in the amount of all outstanding principal and accrued by unpaid
interest.
This Note is secured by, among other things, (i) the First Amendment to Security
Agreement, of even date herewith (the “First Amendment to Security Agreement”), between Die
Concepts, Inc. (“Die Concepts”) and the Lender, which amends the Security Agreement, dated
May 23, 2016 (the “Original Security Agreement, and together with the First Amendment to
Security Agreement, the “Security Agreement”), between Die Concepts and the Lender; (ii) the
First Amendment to Mortgage and Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and Fixture
Financing Statement covering property owned by the Borrower, of even date herewith (the “First
2
EL185\40\720876.v1
Amendment to Mortgage”), between the Borrower and the Lender, which amends the Mortgage
and Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and Fixture Financing Statement, dated May
23, 2016 (the “Original Mortgage, and together with the First Amendment to Mortgage, the
“Mortgage”), between the Borrower and the Lender; (iii) the Amended and Restated Personal
Guaranties, of even date herewith (the “Amended and Restated Personal Guaranties”), from Fred
Trapp and Michael Tracey, which amend and restate the Personal Guaranties, dated May 23, 2016
(the “Original Personal Guaranties, and together with the Amended and Restated Personal
Guaranties, the “Personal Guaranties”) from Fred Trapp and Michael Tracey; and (iv) the
Amended and Restated Entity Guaranty, of even date herewith (the “Amended and Restated Entity
Guaranty”), from Die Concepts, which amends and restates the Entity Guaranty, dated May 23,
2016 (the “Original Entity Guaranty, and together with the Amended and Restated Entity
Guaranty, the “Entity Guaranty”), from Die Concepts to the Lender (collectively, the “Security
Documents”). All of the terms and conditions contained in the Security Documents which are to
be kept and performed by Borrower are hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent and
with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein; and Borrower covenants and
agrees to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept and performed, strictly in accordance
with their terms.
If the Lender, or any other holder of this Note, has not received the full amount of any
Monthly Installment provided for in this Note, by the end of ten (10) calendar days after the date
it is due, Borrower shall pay a late charge fee to the Lender, or any other holder of this Note. The
amount of the late charge fee shall be eight percent (8.00%) of the overdue Monthly Installment.
The Borrower shall pay this late charge fee on demand, however, collection of the late charge fee
shall not be deemed a waiver of the Lender’s right to declare an Event of Default and exercise its
rights and remedies as provided for in the Loan Agreement and the Security Documents.
Each Monthly Installment and other payments made under this Note shall be applied as
follows: (i) first, to be applied against and pay interest which has accrued and remains unpaid on
the date the payment is received; then (ii) to be applied against and pay unpaid late charges and
any other charges, including attorneys’ fees and protective advances; and then (iii) all remaining
amounts, if any, shall be applied against and reduce the then outstanding principal balance of this
Note.
If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or any Security
Document and any cure period provided for in the Loan Agreement or such Security Document
has expired, the Borrower agrees to pay a default rate of interest equal to ten percent (10.00%) per
annum as the applicable interest rate of this Note, and the entire principal amount outstanding,
accrued interest and any other charges due hereon shall at once become due and payable at the
option of the Lender or the holder hereof. Any failure of the Lender to exercise its right to increase
the interest rate by the default rate of interest set forth above or its option to accelerate this Note
at any time shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same right to increase the
interest rate or accelerate at any subsequent time. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, the default rate of interest hereon shall never exceed the highest rate permitted by
law.
The Borrower may prepay the principal under this note at any time and from time to time,
3
EL185\40\720876.v1
in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment shall postpone the due
date of any Monthly Installment or reduce the amount of any such Monthly Installment unless the
Lender agrees otherwise in writing.
All sums payable to the Lender under this Note shall be paid in immediately available
funds.
The Borrower promises to pay all costs in connection with the enforcement of this Note,
including but not limited to, those costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees of Lender whether or not
suit is filed with respect thereto and whether or not such cost or expense is paid or incurred or to
be paid or incurred prior to or after the entry of judgment or for the pursuance of, or defense of,
any litigation, appellate, bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
Presentment, notice of dishonor and protest are hereby waived by all makers, sureties,
guarantors and endorsers hereof. This Note shall be binding upon Borrower, its successors and
assigns.
The remedies of Lender, as provided herein and in the Loan Agreement and the Security
Documents, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or
together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall
occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a
waiver or release thereof.
Time is of the essence hereof.
This Note shall be governed by and be construed under the laws of the State of Minnesota,
without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PERSONAL GUARANTY
(Microloan — Michael Tracey)
Elk River, Minnesota
May __, 2021
FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, and in consideration of and to induce financial accommodations of any kind, with
or without security, given or to be given or continued at any time and from time to time by the
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF ELK RIVER (the “Lender”)
to or for the account of F & M PROPERTIES, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the
“Borrower”), the undersigned absolutely and unconditionally guaranty to the Lender the full and
prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise,
of any and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower (and any and all successors
of the Borrower) to the Lender, now or hereafter existing, absolute or contingent, independent,
joint, several or joint and several, secured or unsecured, due or to become due, contractual or
tortious, liquidated or unliquidated, arising by assignment or otherwise, including without
limitation all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities owed by the Borrower (and any and all
successors of the Borrower) as a member of any partnership, syndicate, association or other group,
and whether incurred by the Borrower (or any successor of the Borrower) as principal, surety,
endorser, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise (collectively, the “Indebtedness”); and the
undersigned agree to pay on demand all of the Lender’s fees, costs, expenses and reasonable
attorneys’ fees in connection with the Indebtedness, any security therefor, and this guaranty, plus
interest on such amounts at the highest rate then applicable to any of the Indebtedness.
The Lender may at any time and from time to time, without consent of or notice to the
undersigned, without incurring responsibility to the undersigned, without releasing, impairing or
affecting the liability of the undersigned hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions, and
in whole or in part: (1) sell, pledge, surrender, compromise, settle, release, renew, subordinate,
extend, alter, substitute, exchange, change, modify or otherwise dispose of or deal with in any
manner and in any order any Indebtedness, any evidence thereof, or any security or other guaranty
therefor; (2) accept any security for, or other guarantors of, any Indebtedness; (3) fail, neglect or
omit to obtain, realize upon or protect any Indebtedness or any security therefor, to exercise any
lien upon or right to any money, credit or property toward the liquidation of the Indebtedness, or
to exercise any other right against the Borrower, the undersigned, any other guarantor or any other
person; and (4) apply any payments and credits to the Indebtedness in any manner and in any order.
No act, omission or thing, except full payment and discharge of the Indebtedness, which but for
this provision could act as a release or impairment of the liability of the undersigned hereunder,
shall in any way release, impair or otherwise affect the liability of the undersigned hereunder, and
the undersigned waives any and all defenses of the Borrower pertaining to the Indebtedness, any
evidence thereof, and any security therefor, except the defense of discharge by payment. The
failure of any person or persons to sign this or any other guaranty shall not release, impair or affect
the liability of the undersigned hereunder. This guaranty is a primary obligation of the undersigned
and the Lender shall not be required to first resort for payment of the Indebtedness to the Borrower
2
EL185\40\720991.v1
or any other person, their properties or estates, or any security or other rights or remedies
whatsoever. The undersigned shall be and remain liable for any deficiency remaining after
foreclosure of any mortgage or security interest securing the Indebtedness, whether or not the
liability of the Borrower or any other person for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute,
judicial decision or otherwise.
The liability of the undersigned under this guaranty is in addition to and shall be cumulative
with all other liabilities of the undersigned to the Lender, as guarantor or otherwise, without any
limitation as to amount, unless the writing evidencing or creating such other liability specifically
provides to the contrary. If any payment applied by the Lender to the Indebtedness is thereafter set
aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including without limitation
the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower or any other person), the
Indebtedness to which such payment was applied shall for the purposes of this guaranty be deemed
to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this guaranty shall be
enforceable as to such Indebtedness as fully as if such application had never been made.
The undersigned waives: (1) notice of acceptance of this guaranty and of the creation and
existence of the Indebtedness; (2) presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of
nonpayment, and protest of any instrument evidencing the Indebtedness; and (3) all other demands
and notices to the undersigned or any other person and all other actions to establish the liability of
the undersigned hereunder. The undersigned consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in the State of Minnesota in connection with any controversy related to this
guaranty, waives any argument that venue in such forums is not convenient, and agree that any
litigation initiated by the undersigned against the Lender in connection with this guaranty shall be
venued in either the District Court of Sherburne County, Minnesota, or the United States District
Court, District of Minnesota.
All property of the undersigned, now or hereafter in the possession, control or custody of
or in transit to the Lender for any purpose, including without limitation the balance of every
account of the undersigned with and each claim of the undersigned against the Lender, shall be
subject to a lien and security interest in favor of the Lender, as security for all liabilities of the
undersigned to the Lender, and shall be subject to be set off against any and all such liabilities, and
the Lender may at any time and from time to time at its option and without notice appropriate and
apply any such property toward the payment of any and all such liabilities. The undersigned agree
to promptly provide the Lender from time to time with financial statements of the undersigned, in
form and substance acceptable to the Lender, at least once every 12 months and as otherwise
requested by the Lender. The undersigned agree to promptly provide the Lender from time to time
with such other information respecting the condition (financial and otherwise), business and
property of the undersigned as the Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to the
Lender.
The undersigned waives all claims, rights and remedies which the undersigned may now
have or hereafter acquire against any person at any time now or hereafter liable to payment of any
of the Indebtedness and as to any collateral security, including but not limited to all claims, rights
and remedies of contribution, indemnification, exoneration, reimbursement, recourse and
subrogation, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute,
3
EL185\40\720991.v1
under common law or otherwise, whether or not the Indebtedness has been fully paid, and all
payments and recoveries under this guaranty shall be considered equity investments by the
undersigned in the Borrower; provided, nothing contained in this guaranty shall deprive the
undersigned of any claim, right or remedy, after the Indebtedness has been fully paid, against any
person other than the Borrower. No delay or failure by the Lender in exercising any right, and no
partial or single exercise thereof shall constitute a waivesr thereof. No waivesr of any rights
hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this guaranty shall be effective unless the same
is in writing duly executed by the Lender, and each such waivesr, if any, shall apply only with
respect to the specific instance involved and shall not impair or affect the rights of the Lender or
the provisions of this guaranty in any other respect at any other time. This guaranty shall continue
until written notice of revocation of this guaranty, executed by the undersigned, has been received
by the Lender; provided, no revocation of this guaranty shall affect in any manner any liability of
the undersigned under this guaranty with respect to Indebtedness arising before the Lender receives
such written notice of revocation, and the sole effect of revocation of this guaranty shall be to
exclude from this guaranty Indebtedness thereafter arising which is unconnected with Indebtedness
theretofore arising or transactions theretofore entered into.
Any invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or application of this guaranty shall not
affect other lawful provisions and applications hereof and to this end the provisions of this guaranty
are declared to be severable. This guaranty shall bind the undersigned and the heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned, and of each of them respectively, and
shall benefit the Lender, its successors and assigns. This guaranty shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.
This Amended and Restated Personal Guaranty amends and restates in its entirety the
Personal Guaranty, dated May 23, 2016, from the undersigned to the Lender. The undersigned is
an owner and member of the Borrower and the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the
Indebtedness was utilized by the Borrower to relocate to and purchase and renovate an existing
building on real property located at 18489 Twin Lakes Road, Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (the
“Property”) and such relocation, purchase, and renovation materially financially benefitted the
undersigned and, therefore, the undersigned’s obligations under this Guaranty are proper, valid
and enforceable.
THE UNDERSIGNED REPRESENTS, CERTIFIES, WARRANTS AND AGREES
THAT THE UNDERSIGNED HAS READ ALL OF THIS GUARANTY AND UNDERSTANDS
ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUARANTY. THE UNDERSIGNED ALSO AGREES
THAT COMPLIANCE BY THE LENDER WITH THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS
GUARANTY SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD FAITH AND SHALL BE CONSIDERED
REASONABLE FOR ALL PURPOSES.

undersigned, without incurring responsibility to the undersigned, without releasing, impairing or
affecting the liability of the undersigned hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions, and
in whole or in part: (1) sell, pledge, surrender, compromise, settle, release, renew, subordinate,
extend, alter, substitute, exchange, change, modify or otherwise dispose of or deal with in any
