Page 5 of 14
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
FISHERS REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, LESSOR
AND CITY OF FISHERS REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, LESSEE
THIS AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”), entered into as of this 1st day of June 2023,
by and between Fishers Redevelopment Authority (the “Lessor”), and City of Fishers
Redevelopment Commission (the “Lessee”);
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Lessor entered into a lease with the Lessee dated as of June 25, 2021
(the “Lease”); and
WHEREAS, the Lessor previously issued its Taxable Lease Rental Revenue Bond
Anticipation Notes, Series 2021C (Land Acquisition Project) (the “2021 BANs”), in the original
aggregate principal amount of Twenty-Three Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($23,350,000), pursuant to Resolution No. FRA 01R062121 adopted by the Lessor at its June 21,
2021 meeting (the “Authority Resolution”); and
WHEREAS, the 2021 BANs are currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount
of Twenty-Three Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($23,350,000); and
WHEREAS, the Lessor desires to issue one or more series of taxable lease rental revenue
bond anticipation notes pursuant to the Authority Resolution to be designated as the “Fishers
Redevelopment Authority Taxable Lease Rental Revenue Bond Anticipation Notes, Series
2023__ (Stevanato Project)” (or such additional or different series designation as may be
determined to be necessary or appropriate) (the “2023 BANs”) to (a) redeem the 2021 BANs on
the date of final maturity of the 2021 BANs, and (b) to pay all costs incurred on the account of
the issuance and sale of such 2023 BANs; and
WHEREAS, the costs of the Projects (as defined in the Lease) will be paid from proceeds
of bonds, to be issued by the Lessor in the maximum principal amount of Twenty-Nine Million
Dollars ($29,000,000) (the “Bonds”); and
WHEREAS, the value of the Leased Premises (as defined in the Lease) is estimated to be
not less than Twenty-Nine Million Dollars ($29,000,000); and
WHEREAS, the Lessor and Lessee agree that changing market conditions from the date
of the execution of the Lease have impacted the ability of the Lessor to issue its 2023 BANs and
the Bonds under the Authority Resolution pursuant to the terms of the Lease, and that
consequently, the Lessor and Lessee have agreed to amend the Lease as set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the Lessee has determined, after a public hearing held pursuant to the Act
after notice given pursuant to IC 5-3-1, that the lease rentals provided for in this Amendment are
fair and reasonable, that the execution of this Amendment is necessary and that the service
provided by the Project will serve the public purpose of the City and is in the best interests of its
residents, and the Common Council of the City has by resolution approved this Amendment, and
the resolution has been entered in the official records of the Common Council, and the Lessor
2
Page 6 of 14
has duly authorized the execution of this Lease by resolution, and the resolution has been entered
in the official records of the Lessor;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED, CERTIFIED AND STIPULATED by
the parties to the Lease that the Lease shall be amended as follows:
1. Section 2(a) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:
“Lease Rental. (a) Fixed Rental Payments. The Lessee agrees to pay rental
for the Leased Premises at a rate per year during the term of the Lease not to
exceed Three Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,300,000), payable
in semi-annual installments. Each such semi-annual installment, payable as
hereinafter described, shall be based on the value of the Leased Premises
which are available for use and occupancy by the Lessee at the time such
semi-annual installment is made. The first rental installment shall be due no
earlier than the July 15 or January 15 following the date of the issuance of the
Bonds. Thereafter, such rental shall be payable in advance in semi-annual
installments on July 15 and January 15 of each year. The last semi-annual
rental payment due before the expiration of this Lease shall be adjusted to
provide for rental at the yearly rate so specified from the date such installment
is due to the date of the expiration of this Lease.
After the sale of the Bonds, the annual rental shall be reduced to an amount
sufficient to pay principal and interest due in each twelve (12) month period
commencing each year on July 15 rounded up to the next One Thousand
Dollars ($1,000), plus Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) each year, payable in
advance in semi-annual installments. In addition, each such reduced semi-
annual installment shall be based on the value of the Leased Premises which
are available for use by the Lessee at the time such semi-annual installment is
made. Such amount of adjusted rental shall be endorsed on this Lease at the
end hereof in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto by the parties hereto as
soon as the same can be done after the sale of the Bonds, and such
endorsement shall be recorded as an addendum to this Lease.”
2. Except as otherwise provided herein, all terms, conditions, and provisions of
the Lease are hereby ratified and affirmed.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE FISHERS REDEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY AS FOLLOWS:
1. The Authority hereby approves the proposed Lease between the Authority and the
Commission in the form presented at this meeting. The President or Vice President and
Secretary of the Authority are hereby authorized to execute the Lease on behalf of the Authority,
with such changes thereto as such officers shall approve, such approval to be conclusively
evidenced by their execution thereof.
2. The Authority hereby amends its 2021 Resolution so that Section 2 of such
Authority Resolution states, in its entirety, as follows:
“The Authority shall borrow an amount not to exceed Twenty-Nine Million
Dollars ($29,000,000) by the issuance and sale of the Bonds, in one or more

payment of the costs of the design, acquisition and construction of all or a portion
of the Projects, capitalized interest on the Bonds, if any, the funding of a debt
service reserve for the Bonds, if necessary, and the costs of issuance of the Bonds.
The Bonds shall bear interest at a rate or rates which produce a yield not
exceeding six percent (6.0%) per annum, and shall mature on February 1 and
August 1 of each year. The final maturity of the Bonds shall be no later than
twenty-five (25) years from the date of issuance of the Bonds.”
3. The Authority hereby amends its 2021 Resolution so that Section 8 of such
Authority Resolution states, in its entirety, as follows:
“The Authority, having satisfied all the statutory requirements for the issuance of
the Bonds and having previously issued its Taxable Lease Rental Revenue Bond
Anticipation Notes, Series 2021C (Land Acquisition Project) (the “2021 BANs”),
has the authority to elect to issue a bond anticipation note or notes, repayable
from the proceeds received from the sale of the Bonds. There is hereby
authorized the issuance and sale of the BANs, in one or more series, ranking on a
parity with each other, in original aggregate principal amount not to exceed
Twenty-Eight Million Dollars ($28,000,000) to redeem the 2021 BANs on the
2
Page 12 of 14
date of final maturity of such 2021 BANs, to provide interim financing until
permanent financing becomes available, and to pay for costs of issuing the BANs,
and the BANs also may fund capitalized interest thereon. The designation of the
BANs shall be “Fishers Redevelopment Authority Lease Rental Revenue Bond
Anticipation Notes, Series _____ (_________)”. The BANs shall be issued in
fully registered form in any denominations as determined by the President of the
Authority on the date of issuance, shall be originally dated the date of delivery,

time of the sale of the BANs, and shall be sold at a discount not exceeding
twenty-five hundredths of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount thereof. It
shall not be necessary for the Authority to repeat the procedures for the issuance
of the Bonds as the procedures followed before the issuance of the BANs are for
all purposes sufficient to authorize the issuance of the Bonds and to use proceeds
thereof to repay the BANs.”
4. Each officer of the Authority is hereby authorized and directed to take all such
actions and to execute all such instruments as such officer deems necessary or desirable to carry
out the transactions contemplated by this Resolution, in such forms as such officer or officers
executing the same shall deem proper, to be evidenced by the execution thereof. Any such
documents heretofore executed and delivered and any such actions heretofore taken be, and
