FROM: Charles Harball, City Attorney

SUBJECT: Resolution for the Approval of Documents of Agreement
Between Stream/Selectron, TeleTech Holdings and the
City of Kalispell
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, February 23, 2004 Special Council Meeting
BACKGROUND: On December 22, 2003 Council considered and passed upon the
proposals of Stream International and TeleTech, Holdings, Inc. regarding the terms
of the buyout of the Stream Use Agreement and Lease of the City owned property at
the Gateway West Mall location as well as an agreement with TeleTech regarding a
new Use Agreement and Lease at that location. From that point, further
discussions and negotiations with these parties brought about the documents that
accompany this memorandum. These documents are consistent with the terms of
the Memorandums of Understanding that were approved by Council on December
22nd, except on the following points.
1. The City will no longer be providing TeleTech with an allowance [the
4% loan] that was originally anticipated. TeleTech will finance its needs at the site
from its own private sources.
2. The term of the lease now recognizes the following conditions:
a. The total term of the lease is ten years.
b. TeleTech has the absolute option to terminate the lease at the end
of five years.
c. In the event that TeleTech is unable to satisfy its workforce
requirements from the local labor pool, it may terminate the lease at
the end of 3 years.
Stream/Selectron — TeleTech Memorandum
February 19, 2004
Page - 2
By passing the resolution, Council is approving the attached documents, in
their substantive form to be used in the City's agreement with Stream/Selectron
and TeleTech.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the documents drafted by its
retained legal counsel of Dorsey and Whitney to be used in its agreement with
Stream/Selectron and TeleTech.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Based upon the payout being made to the City from Selectron
and the guaranteed three year cash flow from TeleTech, the City will meet its
obligations and will own the Gateway West asset free and clear at the end of the
term. Further, the City and greater community will benefit from additional citizens
on a payroll for a period of at least three years rather than merely expending funds
to maintain an empty facility.

Section 4. TeleTech Companies' Undertakings with Respect to Pr(Aect.
4.1. Lease of Property. TSC will enter into the Lease.
4.2. Permits, Environmental Laws. TSC will obtain, in a timely manner, all required
permits, licenses and approvals, and will meet, in a timely manner and in all material respects, all
requirements of all local, state and federal laws and regulations which must be obtained or met in
connection with the acquisition and construction of the Improvements. TSC will comply in all
material respects with all Environmental Laws or Regulations applicable to the construction,
acquisition, and operation of the Project, will obtain any and all necessary environmental
reviews, licenses or clearances under, and will comply in all material respects with, the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
4.3. Assignment. The Company and TSC each agree that they will not assign their
respective obligations hereunder or under the Lease to another corporation or entity except under
the same criteria, conditions and terms as apply under the Lease to an assignment of the Lease.
4.4. Property Tax Obligation, Deficiency Tax Payment. TSC understands and
acknowledges that even though the Property is owned by the City, it is subject to a "beneficial
use" tax as provided in Section 5-24-2304, M.C.A. Under the terms of the Lease, TSC has
agreed to pay as due all real and personal property taxes including beneficial use taxes assessed
against the Property, the Existing FF&E and its Personal Property and Equipment installed and
located therein (the "Property Tax Obligation"), in addition to any special assessments that might
be apportioned to the property and made an obligation under the Lease. TSC further
acknowledges that the City's ability to acquire the Property and meet its obligation to pay
principal of and interest on the Bond was dependent on the creation by the Project of additional
taxes and additional Tax Increment Revenue within the District. Based on the current taxable
value of the Property, the dollar amount of the Existing FF&E and the estimated costs of the
Personal Property and Equipment, the City estimates that the Project will generate property taxes
payable by TSC based on current tax rates and mill levies in an amount not less than $140,000 a
year. TSC understands that this is an estimate and not a representation that TSC's Property Tax
Obligation will not or can not exceed such amount.
TSC hereby covenants and agrees to pay its actual Property Tax Obligation for the term
of possession, prorated as provided in the Lease with respect to Real Property Taxes (as defined
in the Lease) and that to the extent and in the event that TSC's annual Property Tax Obligation
for any tax year is less than $140,000, whether by virtue of reduction in taxable valuation of Real
and Personal Property, removal of Personal Property and Equipment from the Property,
reduction of mill levies assessed against TSC's property, or TSC defaults under the Lease and
has no annual Property Tax Obligation, TSC will pay directly to the City an annual amount equal
to the greater of (i) TSC's actual Property Tax Obligation; or (ii) the difference between
$140,000 and TSC's actual Property Tax Obligation (the "Deficiency Tax Payment"), provided
that for the last year of the term of the Lease: (a) TSC's actual Property Tax Obligation shall be
equal to TSC's actual Property Tax Obligation for the immediately preceding year, (b) TSC's
actual Property Tax Obligation pursuant to clause (a) and the $140,000 figure shall each be
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between January 1 and the
date the Lease terminates and the denominator of which is 365, and (c) the resulting payment
shall be paid on the date the Lease terminates. The payment for the last year of the term shall be
adjusted upon receipt of the tax notice for the final year. Under Montana law, the Department of
Revenue uses the value of real and personal property established as of January 1 each year to
determine the amount of taxes to be billed for the ensuing Fiscal Year. TSC will receive its
notice of its Real Property tax obligation for a Fiscal Year on or about November I and it will
receive its notice of Personal Property tax obligation for a Fiscal Year on or about July 1. The
City Finance Officer shall verify the amount ofTSC's Property Tax Obligation based on the
actual Real and Personal Property taxes billed during the calendar year based on values
established January 1. If a Deficiency Tax Payment is owed, the City shall submit an invoice to
TSC no later than December 31. The Deficiency Tax Payment shall be due and payable in one
installment on February 15 of each year through the term of this Agreement, commencing
10
]February 15, 2004']. The amount of Deficiency Tax Payment due, but not paid, shall bear
interest and penalties at the same rate applicable to unpaid property taxes as specified in Section
15-16-102, M.C.A. Upon receipt of amounts due, if any, the City shall deposit the Deficiency
Tax Payment in the Debt Service Fund created for the Bond and the Deficiency Tax Payment
shall be used solely to pay the principal of and interest on the Bond as due.
Section 5. Job Provisions — Reduction of Rent.
5.1. Inducement. The Company acknowledges that as an inducement for the City to
accept the Company's proposal and enter into this Agreement and the Lease, the TeleTech
Companies have represented that they intend to establish the Project and create 425 new jobs at
the Property in accordance with the ramp schedule more particularly described herein. As an
inducement to the Company and TSC to enter into this Agreement and the Lease and to establish
the Project and create the new jobs at the Property, the City has agreed that TSC will receive a

individuals, 80% of whom are FTEs, at the Property during such second Lease Year;
(c) Commencing on the First day of the third Lease Year and continuing for each
consecutive Lease Year thereafter, TSC shall receive a credit equal to 100% of Base
Rent for each Lease Year so long as the minimum hourly wage for a Full Time CSR
working at the Property is not less than the Approved Minimum Hourly Wage
andBenefits are offered to such Full Time CSRs, whether so elected or not, valued at
not less than 20% of the Approved Minimum Hourly Wage and the TeleTech

defined herein or any other additional rent under this Lease within five (5) business days

additional expenses including, but not limited to, extra collection efforts and handling
costs. Both parties agree that should Tenant so fail to pay its Rent, or additional rent,
Landlord is entitled to compensation for the detriment caused by the failure, but that it is
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of the detriment. The parties
therefore agree that should Tenant fail to pay any Rent, or additional rent, due hereunder
within five (5) business days after the same becomes due, :Landlord shall be entitled to
recover from Tenant as a late charge $1 000.00 plus any reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay such amount when due. Such
past due amounts shall also bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 1.16 from
the date until paid. Tenant further agrees to pay Landlord any reasonable costs incurred
by Landlord in the collection of such past due Rent, or additional rent, including, but not
limited to, reasonable fees of an attorney and/or collection agency. Nothing herein
contained shall limit any other remedy of Landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall also
have the right to require Tenant to pay any past due sums by cashier's check or money
order.

default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed
holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default, or if
such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be
necessary, provided such mortgagees and/or trust deed holders commence such cure
within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue the remedies necessary to cure such default
(excluding, however, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, even if necessary to
effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies
are being so diligently pursued. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to
changes or amendments to this Lease requested by the holder of any mortgage or deed of
trust covering Landlord's interest in the Premises so long as such changes do not alter the
economic terms of this Lease or otherwise diminish the rights or increase the obligations
of Tenant hereunder.
ARTICLE XVLII -- ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
1$.1 Assignment and Subletting. (a) Tenant will not assign this Lease in whole or in part,
nor sublet all or any part of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold. Without in any way limiting
Landlord's right to reasonably refuse to give consent, Landlord may withhold condition
or delay its consent to any requested assignment or subletting if in Landlord's reasonable
business judgment:
(i) The financial strength of the proposed assignee or subtenant, both in terms
of net worth and in terms of reasonably anticipated cash flow over the
Lease Term, is materially less than Tenant's financial strength at the time
this Lease is signed or is insufficient, based on generally accepted
17
accounting principles, to capitalize the business to be conducted in the
Premises;
(ii) The business of the proposed assignee or subtenant is substantially similar
to the business of another tenant currently leasing a portion of the
Shopping Center, conflicts with the permitted uses set forth in this Lease,
or would violate the exclusive use rights of another tenant of the Shopping
Center (or a prospective tenant of the Shopping Center with which
Landlord is then negotiating);
(iii) The proposed assignee or subtenant is currently a tenant of the Shopping
Center and other space within the Shopping Center is vacant and would
adequately serve the space requirements of such assignee or subtenant.
(b) Any proposed assignee or subtenant which Landlord does not disapprove shall be
deemed a "Permitted Business." The consent by Landlord to any assignment or
subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for obtaining Landlord's
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. If this Lease is assigned by
Tenant, or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by any person
or entity other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent front the assignee,
subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent, or
additional rent, herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or
collection shall be deemed a waiver on the part of Landlord, or the acceptance of
the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the
further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein
contained unless expressly made in writing by Landlord. Irrespective of any
assignment or sublease, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease and shall
not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease. Any assignment or sublease made by Tenant without Landlord's
written consent shall be voidable at Landlord's election. If Tenant assigns this
Lease or sublets the Premises or any portion thereof as permitted herein or as
consented to by Landlord, any Rent or additional rent paid to Tenant by such
assignee or subtenant which exceeds the Rent, or additional rent, payable by
Tenant to Landlord as set forth in this Lease and Tenant's reasonable subleasing
costs including, but not limited to, Tenant Improvements, free rent, commissions,
legal fees (which total rent shall be reasonably prorated on a square footage basis
in the event that less than all of the Premises is assigned or sublet) 50% shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent.
(c) If Tenant is a corporation, or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the
transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation,
association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of forty-nine percent (49%)
shall be decmed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this
Section IS. 1.
(d) Tenant shall pay Landlord a non-refundable processing fee of $500.00 for each
requested assignment or sublease to cover Landlord's costs. This fee shall
is
accompany any request for assignment or sublease. In addition, Tenant shall pay
all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with reviewing a request
to consent to an assignment or sublease, including Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' and accountants' fees.
18.2 Tenant's Request. If Tenant desires to make an assignment or sublease. Tenant shall
submit a written request therefor to Landlord which shall state (a) the name of the
proposed assignee or subtenant, (b) the nature of the assignee's or subtenant's business to
be carried on in the Premises, and (c) the terms and conditions of the proposed
assignment or sublease. Tenant shall provide such financial information regarding the
proposed assignee or sublessee as Landlord may reasonably request. Any assignment or
sublease, if approved by Landlord, shall be pursuant to a written document approved by
Landlord, and Landlord shall receive an original or copy of such fully executed
document.
18.3 Other Prohibited Transfers. Tenant shall not grant any concession or right of use or
occupancy to all or any part of the Premises (other than an assignment or sublease which
shall be governed by Section 18.1), without Landlord's prior written consent which may
be withheld in Landlord's sole, absolute and arbitrary discretion. Any such concession,
right or security interest made by Tenant without Landlord's written consent shall be null
and void. I£ Tenant shall select or appoint some person or entity other than Tenant to
manage and control the business conducted in the Premises, and the result thereof shall
be substantially similar to the result of a sublease or assignment, then such selection or
appointment shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this
Article.
18.4 Sale of Premises. In the event Landlord shall sell, convey, transfer or exchange the
Premises, Tenant agrees to recognize and attorn to the purchaser, or transferee, as the
Landlord hereunder and Landlord shall be and is hereby relieved and released from any
liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations under the Lease arising out of
any act, occurrence or event which occurs after such sale, conveyance, transfer or
exchange.
18.5 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord's consent
shall not be required for subletting or assignment to related entities. Tenant shall have
the right to assign or sublease any portion of the space to any party resulting from a
corporate transfer, merger or consolidation or the sale of any significant portion of
Tenant's stock or assets or to any subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant without the written
consent of Landlord ("Permitted Transfers"). Despite any Permitted Transfers, Tenant
shall remain fully liable under this Lease and shall not be released from performing the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
ARTICLE XIX -- ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord's interest in this Lease, or the rents
payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the
19
beneficiary of a deed of trust or ground lessor on or of property which includes the Premises,
Tenant agrees as follows:
(a) That the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the beneficiary of
such deed of trust, or the ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such
beneficiary or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such
beneficiary or ground lessor shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically elect otherwise; and
(b) That, except as aforesaid, such beneficiary or ground lessor shall be treated as having
assumed Landlord's obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such deed of trust and/or the
taking of possession of the Premises, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of
Landlord's position hereunder by such ground lessor.
ARTICLE XX -- DESTRUCTION
20.1 Total or Partial Destruction of Premises, If the Premises shall be damaged by fire, the
elements or other casualty insured against as required by this Lease but are not thereby
rendered untenantable in whole or in part, Landlord shall, at its own expense, cause such
damage to be repaired as soon as reasonably practical, and any Rent, or additional rent, or
other charges payable hereunder shall not be abated. If by reason of any damage or
casualty, the Premises shall be rendered untenantable only in part, the damage shall be
repaired as described above, and the Rent shall be abated proportionately based on the
portion of the Premises rendered untenantable. If the Premises shall be rendered wholly
untenantable by reason of such occurrence, the damage shall be repaired as described
above, and the Rent and all additional rent (excluding common area expenses) shall be
abated during the period of restoration in the event the Premises are totally destroyed by
casualty, if the Tenant requests, Landlord agrees to reconstruct the Premises to the extent
insurance proceeds are available for the reconstruction, except that in the event the
Premises are totally destroyed as a result of casualty during the last 24 months of the
Term, or as the same may be extended, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease;
provided, however, if Landlord does so elect and the Lease is terminated, Landlord
agrees Tenant shall have no further obligation under the Use Agreement to make the
deficiency tax payments required therein; and provided further that if the Tenant has a
right under Addendum 2 hereof to extend the term of this Lease at the time that Landlord
elects to terminate this Lease as a result of casualty, and Tenant gives notice to the
Landlord of its election to extend within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of
Landlord's election to terminate, Landlord shall reconstruct the Premises to the extent
insurance proceeds are available for the reconstruction and this Lease shall continue for
the extension period.
20.2 Proceeds. All proceeds from the insurance required to be kept under Section 16.1 shall
be delivered to and constitute the property of Landlord and the proceeds of all property
insurance covering Tenant's leasehold improvements which would constitute the
property of Landlord upon. termination of the Lease shall also be paid to Landlord.
Unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with Section 20.1 above,
Landlord shall apply its insurance proceeds toward reconstruction of the Premises.
Tenant shall be entitled to retain the proceeds of its insurance carried pursuant to
20
Section 16.1 covering its trade fixtures, merchandise, signs and other personal property
which it would be entitled to remove upon the expiration of the Lease.
20.3 Waiver of Termination. Tenant and Landlord hereby waive any statutory rights which
they may have to terminate the Lease in the event of the partial or total destruction of the
Premises, Building or Shopping Center, it being agreed that the provisions of this
Article XX shall control in the event of any damage or destruction.

abatement of Rent, or additional rent, or other charges, except for abatement during such
90 day period.
21.3 Partial Condemnation of Premises. If any part of the Premises shall be acquired or
taken by eminent domain for any public or quasi -public use or purpose, and in the event
that such partial taking or condemnation shall render the Premises unsuitable for the
operation of Tenant's business, this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date
possession or title is given to such condemning authority in such proceeding. In the event
of a partial taking or condemnation which is not extensive enough to render the Premises
unsuitable for the operation of Tenant's business, Landlord shall promptly restore the
Premises to a condition comparable to its condition at the time of such condemnation less
the portion lost in the taking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the
Rent, or additional rent, shall be equitably reduced based on the percentage of Floor Area

taking as herein provided, whether whole or partial, Tenant shall not be entitled to any
part of the award, as damages or otherwise, for such condemnation and Landlord is to
receive the full amount of such award. Tenant expressly waives any right or claim to any
part thereof, including the right or claim for the value of the unexpired portion of the
Term or diminution in value of Tenant's leasehold interest, or for the value of any option
to extend the Term or renew this Lease. Tenant shall, however, have the right, provided
such award shall not diminish Landlord's award, to claim and recover from the
condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately
awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's own right on account of any and all
damage to Tenant's business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any
costs or loss which Tenant might incur in removing Tenant's merchandise, furniture,
fixtures and equipment from the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any rights it might
otherwise have pursuant to Montana law to terminate this Lease as a result of any
condemnation action or proceeding in lieu thereof.

that it cannot be fully cured within said four (4) business day period, Tenant shall have
such additional time as may be, reasonably necessary to cure such default so long as
Tenant commences such cure promptly after service of Landlord's notice and proceeds

to, any notice required under applicable law or if Tenant fails to comply with the
foregoing provisions, Tenant shall be deemed to be in material breach of this Lease and
Landlord with or without further notice or demand may either:
(a) Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises because of such breach,
and upon termination, recover from Tenant as damages (i) the worth at the time of
award of any unpaid Rent, or additional rent, which had been earned at the time of
termination, plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent, or additional rent, which would have been due and payable after
termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss that
Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, plus (iii) the worth at the tune
of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent, or additional rent, for the
balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss
that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, plus (iv) any other arnounts
22
necessary to compensate Landlord for all of the detriment proximately caused by
Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or which in the
ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, without

foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of
Montana.

(i) and (ii) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. The
"worth at the tune of award" of the amount referred to in subsection 22.1(a)(iii)
shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the tune of award plus 1%. Tenant hereby
waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under current Montana law, or under
any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes
possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant hereunder. No act
by Landlord other than giving written notice thereof to Tenant shall terminate this
Lease. Any act of maintenance or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment
of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this
Lease shall not constitute a termination of Te.nant's right to possession; or

this Lease in full force and effect and in that event (1) Landlord may enforce all
rights and remedies under this Lease and under the provisions of Montana law,

due hereunder as such rent and other charges become due hereunder, and

consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, as
provided in Section herein; or
(c) With or without terminating this lease, re-enter the Premises and remove all
persons and property from the Premises. Such property may be removed and
stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of
Tenant. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to
this paragraph shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a
written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Tenant's damages.
22.2 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease only if
Landlord fails to perform any of the covenants or conditions required on its part to be
performed pursuant to this Lease, and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30)
23
days after receipt of written notice specifying the nature and extent of such default in
detail; provided, however, that if such default is of a nature that it cannot reasonably be
cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have such additional time as may
be required to effect such cure provided Landlord commences the cure within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to competition. In no
event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord's default
and Tenant's remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction.
22.3 Limitation on Tenant's Recourse. Tenant's sole recourse under this Lease against
Landlord is to the interest of Landlord in and to the Premises and any portion of the
Shopping Center owned by Landlord. Tenant shall have no right to satisfy any judgment

provisions of this Section are not intended to limit Tenant's right to seek injunctive relief
or specific performance, or Tenant's right to claim the proceeds of insurance (if any)
specifically maintained by Landlord for Tenant's benefit. The foregoing limitations shall
also apply to any successor to Landlord's interest in the Premises. In no event shall
Landlord ever be liable to Tenant for any indirect or consequential damages by reason of
Landlord's breach or default of the terms of this Lease.
22.4 Insolvency. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material, incurable
breach which shall entitle Landlord to the remedies provided in Section 22.1 (the cure
periods provided below shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any cure periods
provided in Section 22.1):
(a) This Lease or the Premises or any part of the .Premises are taken upon execution
