 REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective as of the 30th day of December, 2005,
by and between the CITY OF CLAYTON, MISSOURI (the “City”), a Missouri municipal corporation, and CENTENE PLAZA REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (the “Corporation”), a Missouri urban
redevelopment corporation, for the implementation of the Forsyth/Hanley Redevelopment Plan described herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in Article 1 of this Agreement. 
  
 RECITALS 
  

	 	1.	Chapter 353 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, known as The Urban Redevelopment Corporations Law (the “URC Law”), authorizes the City to approve, by ordinance,
redevelopment plans that allow for the redevelopment of blighted areas within the City and the granting of tax abatements and exemptions to encourage such redevelopment. 

  

	 	2.	The Board of Aldermen of the City, in recognition that the Redevelopment Area has not experienced meaningful new private sector investment in recent years and that the Redevelopment
Area is blighted within the meaning of that term in the URC Law, solicited proposals on April 22, 2005, to facilitate redevelopment of such area. On May 27, 2005, Centene Corporation (the “Developer”) submitted a proposal (the
“Proposal”) in response thereto. 

  

	 	3.	The Proposal calls for three phases of redevelopment: Phase I consists of the Developer’s acquisition and renovation of the City-owned parking garage and construction of a
pedestrian bridge connecting the garage to the Developer’s current office building; Phase II consists of construction of a new 16-story office building to house the Developer’s headquarters and to provide additional office space for
expansion and lease; and Phase III consists of a new office building for future expansion and lease, retail space and a parking structure. The Proposal requested that the City provide for partial tax abatement in order to make the proposed
development economically feasible. Subsequent to the submission of the Proposal, the Developer agreed not to seek tax abatement on Phase I in return for other redevelopment consideration; consequently, the Redevelopment Area will consist of only
those portions of property relating to Phase II and Phase III, as described in the Proposal. 

  

	 	4.	The Board of Aldermen has: (a) enacted into law Resolution No. 05-31 conveying in fee the City-owned parking garage at 7733 Carondelet Avenue, (b) enacted into law
Ordinance No. 5911, finding the Redevelopment Area to be blighted within the meaning of Section 353.020(2) of the URC Law, approving the Redevelopment Plan, and authorizing and directing the City Manager to enter into this Redevelopment
Agreement, and (c) determined that the clearance and redevelopment provided for in the Redevelopment Plan are necessary for the public convenience and necessity and that the approval of the Redevelopment Plan and the activities related thereto
are necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare. 









	 	5.	The Corporation intends to (a) construct or cause to be constructed the Redevelopment Project within the Redevelopment Area in one or more phases, (b) acquire property
within the Redevelopment Area for the purpose of receiving tax abatement under the URC Law in one or more phases, and (c) transfer such property to the Developer for the purpose of operating a commercial office and retail development in one or
more phases. 

  

	 	6.	The Corporation is in good standing in the State of Missouri and has represented that it has the necessary expertise, skill and ability to carry out the commitments contained in
this Agreement.

 ARTICLE 2 
 REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT 
  
 2.01 Redevelopment Project. The Corporation shall, in order to eliminate the conditions that have caused the Redevelopment Area to become “blighted” within the meaning of the URC Law, but subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, (a) acquire all property within the Redevelopment Area in one or more phases and (b) develop and construct the Redevelopment Project in one or more phases in accordance with the Site Plan, the Redevelopment Plan and all
applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances. 
  
 2.02 Acquisition by Negotiation. 
  
 (a) Reasonable Efforts to Acquire by Negotiation. The Corporation represents and warrants that, with respect to any property it seeks to acquire within the Redevelopment Area, the Corporation will make
reasonable efforts to acquire the same by negotiated purchase within the time specified in Section 2.06. With respect to property in the Redevelopment Area that is acquired by negotiated sale before the commencement of a jurisdictional
hearing as contemplated in Section 2.03 of this Agreement, the Corporation agrees to pay all of the seller’s costs and expenses (to the extent deemed reasonable by the City Manager) associated with the sale of such property, but not
to exceed 5% of the purchase price of the property being acquired. 
  
 (b) Requirements for Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subdivision (a), within 60 days after the execution of this Agreement, the Corporation shall offer to owners of parcels an Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) which shall include the following terms: 
  
 (1) A purchase price equal to at least 105% of the appraised value of the parcel (which shall be exclusive of any relocation benefits to
which the owner is entitled under state law), as evidenced by an appraisal with respect to such parcel performed subsequent to August 1, 2005, by an independent third-party appraiser licensed in the State of Missouri who is reasonably
acceptable to the City. The City pre-approves the use of Mueller & Neff Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants, Inc. as the Corporation’s appraiser. The appraisal shall be obtained at the Corporation’s sole cost and
expense. Prior to the delivery of the Purchase Agreement to an owner, the Corporation shall provide a copy to the City Attorney who shall have one week either to approve the form and substance of the appraisal (i.e., in a customary form and of a
professional caliber in accordance with other appraisals prepared by certified appraisers) or to provide objections thereto to the Corporation. 
  
 (2) Unless waived by the owner, the Corporation must provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice for closing on the property. If
the Corporation terminates its obligation to acquire the property once such notice is given (unless in the City’s reasonable opinion there is due cause for such termination), all redevelopment rights granted hereunder, including the rights of
eminent domain and tax abatement, shall expire and terminate. 
  
 (3) Unless waived by the owner, the owner (and any tenant of the owner) will have 150 days from closing on the parcel to vacate the property. 
  

 -4- 








 (c) Other Information to be Provided. At the time the Purchase Agreement is submitted to a
Property owner, the Corporation shall: 
  
 (1)
Advise the owner in writing of the relocation benefits to which the owner would be entitled under this Agreement, and (if applicable) advise the owner in writing that the proposed purchase price includes an express waiver of such relocation
benefits; 
  
 (2) Advise the owner in writing of
the time period for acceptance of the Purchase Agreement (the “Acceptance Deadline”), which shall not be less than 45 days; and 
  
 (3) Provide a copy of the Purchase Agreement to the City. 
  
 (d) Mediation Process. 
  
 (1) Before the initiation of condemnation proceedings with respect to any parcel of the property, an owner is entitled to participate in a
mediation process by which an independent third party can facilitate the resolution of any differences between the owner and the Corporation. To initiate the mediation process, the owner must notify the City and the Corporation, on or before the
Acceptance Deadline, that the owner does not intend to accept the offer made by the Corporation under the Purchase Agreement, and that the owner desires to participate in mediation. 
  
 (2) Within 7 days after the owner has given notice to the Corporation and to the City of its desire to
participate in mediation, the Corporation and the owner (or their attorneys) shall select a mediator. The mediator shall be selected from a list of five mediators provided by United States Arbitration & Mediation Midwest Inc. If the parties
cannot agree on a mediator on the list, then each party shall eliminate two mediators and the remaining person shall be the designated mediator. The mediation shall be scheduled within 30 days of the mediator’s selection. 
  
 (3) Within one week after the mediator’s selection, the
owner must submit to the Corporation a counteroffer to the offer made by the Corporation under the Purchase Agreement. Failure to provide a counteroffer shall be deemed a waiver of the owner’s right to mediation. The mediation shall not exceed
one 8-hour session. The Corporation shall pay for the mediator’s costs and expenses for up to 8 hours of mediation. 
  
 (4) To ensure each party is negotiating in good faith, immediately following the conclusion of any mediation, the mediator shall submit a
report to the City Attorney that shall include the last offer made by each party. 
  
 (5) The Corporation agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects to facilitate the mediation process; provided, if for any reason the
parties are unable to hold or complete the mediation within 45 days after the owner has given notice to the Corporation and to the City of its desire to participate in mediation, or if the mediation effort fails to result in an executed Purchase
Agreement, the Corporation can proceed with condemnation as provided in this Agreement. 
  
 2.03 Acquisition by Condemnation. 
  
 (a) Covenant to Comply with Statutory Requirements. As a condition to its authorization hereunder to institute any eminent domain proceedings against an owner of all or part of the Redevelopment Area, the
Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that it shall first satisfy all jurisdictional prerequisites necessary for the initiation of such eminent domain proceedings, including the requirement to negotiate in good faith. 
  

 -5- 








 (b) Conditions Precedent. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the initiation of eminent
domain proceedings with respect to any property within the Redevelopment Area that the Corporation fails to acquire by negotiated purchase in accordance with Section 2.02, the Corporation shall deliver, at the Corporation’s sole
cost and expense, the following documentation to the City Attorney: 
  
 (1) The appraisal prepared in connection with the Purchase Agreement provided pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(1). 
  
 (2) Evidence that the purchase price offered to the owner of the property was not less than the greater of (A) 105% of the appraised
value of the parcel to be acquired (as determined by the appraiser referenced in Section 2.02(b)(1)), or (b) 100% of the County Assessor’s valuation of the parcel to be acquired. 
  
 (3) If the parcel to be acquired includes businesses that
are tenants, information regarding the terms of each tenant’s lease and the benefits that each tenant would receive under the Corporation’s most recent proposal to acquire the property. 
  
 (4) Evidence of the Corporation’s efforts to acquire
such parcel(s) (including but not limited to evidence of communications or attempts at communications with the owners of such parcel(s), copies of proposed purchase contracts, offers and counter-offers, if any, tendered to the owners); provided, the
City shall retain all such documents submitted to the City in connection with the acquisition of any parcel through eminent domain, as closed records to the extent permitted by law, including but not limited to the provisions of Chapter 610 of the
Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended. 
  
 (c) Information
to be Provided to City. During the condemnation proceedings, the Corporation agrees to consult with the City regarding the prosecution of the litigation. Advice and consultation with the City shall continue throughout such proceedings. The City
shall, upon initiation of the condemnation proceedings, designate in writing to the Corporation an individual who is authorized to represent the City in consultations with the Corporation and its counsel. Upon the request of the City’s
designee, the Corporation shall provide copies of all pleadings and other documents filed or prepared in conjunction with the prosecution of the condemnation proceedings for the designee’s inspection. The Corporation shall pay all costs
incurred by the City in connection with any condemnation action in which the City is named as a third-party defendant. 
  
 2.04 Business Assistance. The Corporation shall relocate those occupants or businesses displaced from any portion of the Redevelopment Area
acquired by the Corporation in accordance with and to the extent required by the Business Assistance Policy, except insofar as otherwise agreed in writing by such displaced occupant or business and approved in writing by the Corporation; it being
understood and agreed that any displaced occupant or business may waive his/her/their rights to statutory and other relocation benefits under the Business Assistance Policy or otherwise. The Corporation understands that the Business Assistance
Policy prohibits the Corporation from displacing businesses from the Redevelopment Area until the Corporation determines in its good faith discretion that such property is required for construction of the Redevelopment Project. The parties hereby
acknowledge that the schedule set forth in Section 2.06(b) hereof for the Corporation’s acquisition of the property in the Redevelopment Area is intended in part to demonstrate the Corporation’s good faith intention to pursue
the Redevelopment Project, and the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow tenants and owners currently operating businesses in the Redevelopment Area to continue operations until the Corporation determines in its good faith
discretion that vacation of such property is required for construction of the Redevelopment Project. 
  

 -6- 








 2.05 Notice of Acquisition. 
  
 (a) Within thirty (30) days after acquiring any and each parcel of property within the Redevelopment Area, the
Corporation shall provide to the City (1) written notice (the “Notice of Acquisition”) to the City confirming that it has acquired title to such property and (2) a copy of the recorded instrument conveying ownership of such
property to the Corporation. The Notice of Acquisition shall specify the phase of the Redevelopment Project to which such property relates. 
  
 (b) The City will not issue a Building Permit for the construction of permanent buildings and structures to the Corporation or an authorized transferee of
the Corporation for any structure in the Redevelopment Area associated with the applicable phase until the Corporation submits a Notice of Acquisition to the City concerning the Corporation’s acquisition of all property within the applicable
phase. 
  
 2.06 Deadline for Acquisition of Property and
Construction of Redevelopment Project. 
  
 (a) As of the date
hereof, the parties agree that the Developer owns all of the property (excluding rights-of-way and other publicly-owned property) in the Redevelopment Area except those located at 7716, 7720, 7730, 7732 and 7736 Forsyth Blvd. The Corporation
will cause notice to be provided to the City within 10 days after either the Corporation or the Developer enters into an agreement to purchase or obtains a judgment giving such party right to title to each of said parcels. 
  
 (b) Subject to Section 3.01 hereof, if the Corporation fails to acquire
all property (excluding rights-of-way and other publicly-owned property) in the Redevelopment Area within eleven (11) months after the Effective Date, all redevelopment rights granted hereunder, including the rights of eminent domain and tax
abatement, shall expire and terminate. In addition, upon request of the Corporation the Board of Aldermen will give reasonable consideration to eliminating the requirement to acquire all property within the Redevelopment Area, if the goals of the
Agreement (including but not limited to eliminating the blighting conditions within the Redevelopment Area) can be accomplished without acquiring one or more specific structures. The date on which the Corporation has acquired all property (except as
otherwise required by the preceding sentence) in the Redevelopment Area is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Acquisition Date.” In addition, within 30 days after any commissioners’ award, the Corporation shall either:
(1) notify the City that it is terminating this Agreement; or (2) settle the proceeding; or (3) pay the amount of any commissioners’ award issued in conjunction with any such condemnation proceeding to the Clerk of the Circuit
Court. 
  
 (c) Subject to Section 3.01 hereof, if the
Corporation fails to commence construction of Phase II within twenty-seven (27) months after the Effective Date, all redevelopment rights granted hereunder, including the rights of eminent domain and tax abatement, shall expire and terminate.
For purposes of this paragraph, “commence construction” means the demolition of all (or substantially all) of the improvements within Phase II as of the Effective Date and the pouring of foundations for at least 75% of the new structures
within Phase II, as shown on the Site Plan. 
  
 (d) Subject to
Section 3.01 hereof, if the Corporation fails to commence construction of Phase III (Forsyth Retail Properties) within thirty-six (36) months after the Final Acquisition Date, all redevelopment rights granted hereunder, including
the rights of eminent domain and tax abatement, shall expire and terminate. For purposes of this paragraph, “commence construction” means the demolition of all (or substantially all) of the improvements within Phase III (Forsyth Retail
Properties) as of the Effective Date and the pouring of foundations for 100% of the new structures within Phase III (Forsyth Retail Properties), as shown on the Site Plan. 
  

 -7- 








 (e) The parties acknowledge that by operation of Section 4.02(b) of this Agreement, if the
Corporation fails to commence construction of Phase III (Tower B) within thirty-six (36) months after the Final Acquisition Date, the total period during which the Corporation is entitled to tax abatement hereunder shall be shortened in
accordance with such Section 4.02(b). 
  
 2.07 Site
Plan. The Corporation may make changes to the Site Plan as site conditions or other issues of feasibility may dictate or as may be required to meet the reasonable requests of prospective tenants or as may be necessary or desirable in the sole
determination of the Corporation to enhance the economic viability of the Redevelopment Project; provided that (a) the Corporation may not make any material changes to the Site Plan (i.e., changes which either reduce the square footage
or intended uses of the Redevelopment Project by more than 10% exclusive of reductions required to comply with the City’s Code of Ordinances), whether individually or in the aggregate, without the advance written consent of the Board of
Aldermen and (b) the Corporation shall obtain the City’s consent to any changes to the extent required by the City’s Code of Ordinances. The Corporation shall promptly furnish the City with a current Site Plan in the event of any
changes thereto. 
  
 2.08 Certificate of Substantial
Completion. After substantial completion of construction of any phase of the Redevelopment Project in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, the Corporation shall deliver to the City a Certificate of Substantial Completion for the applicable
phase of the Redevelopment Project in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. The City shall sign the Certificate of Substantial Completion upon the City’s verification that the representations in such certificate are
accurate (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The City may issue any and all appropriate certificates of occupancy in accordance with the City’s ordinances, even if the City has not yet accepted the Certificate of
Substantial Completion. If the Corporation fails to deliver a Certificate of Substantial Completion to the City with respect to any phase of the Redevelopment Project in a timely fashion and the City has issued occupancy certificates with respect to
at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the usable space in such phase of the Redevelopment Project, the City may at its sole option deem the delivery of such occupancy certificates to constitute delivery of the Certificate of Substantial
Completion for such phase. 
  
 2.09 Financial Ability. The
Corporation shall submit to the City, prior to the commencement of construction of any phase or all of the Redevelopment Project, as applicable, (a) reasonable proof of the Corporation’s financial ability to complete the Redevelopment
Project, and (b) reasonably acceptable performance and payment bonds and maintenance bonds, as required by the City’s Code of Ordinances, issued in connection with the public improvements to be constructed by or at the direction of the
Corporation for the Redevelopment Project. The City and the Corporation shall be named as obligees on the bonds. The City will not issue a Building Permit for any structure in the Redevelopment Area until the Corporation submits to the City the
items specified in this Section. 
  
 2.10 Removal of
Blight. The Corporation shall clear blight or rehabilitate to eliminate the physical blight existing in the Redevelopment Area, or to make adequate provisions satisfactory to the City for the clearance of such blight. This obligation shall be a
covenant running with the land and shall not be affected by any sale or disposition of the Redevelopment Area. Any purchaser of property in the Redevelopment Area from the Corporation or any of the Corporation’s successors in title, who wishes
to receive the development rights and tax abatement granted by this Agreement, shall acquire title subject to this obligation insofar as it pertains to the land so acquired. 
  
 2.11 Insurance. Not less than ten (10) days prior to commencement of construction of each and any portion of the
Redevelopment Project, the Corporation and/or its general contractor shall provide the City with a certificate of insurance evidencing a commercial general liability insurance policy with 
  

 -8- 








 coverages of not less than $2,234,121 for claims arising out of a single accident or occurrence and $335,118 for any one
person in a single accident or occurrence, which reflects the current absolute statutory waivers of sovereign immunity in Sections 537.600 and 537.610 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended. Further, the policy shall be adjusted upward
annually, to remain at all times not less than the inflation-adjusted sovereign immunity limits as published in the Missouri Register on an annual basis by the Department of Insurance pursuant to Section 537.610 of the Revised Statutes of
Missouri, as amended. The policy shall provide that it may not be cancelled, terminated, allowed to lapse or be substantially modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City. The City shall be listed as an additional
insured on such certificate. Such policy shall include a severability of interests clause and the insurance shall be primary with respect to any applicable insurance maintained by the City. The requirements of this Section shall terminate for each
Phase upon the City’s acceptance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion for said Phase of the Redevelopment Project. 
  
 2.12 Redevelopment Project Maintenance. Upon substantial completion of the Redevelopment Project and so long as this Agreement is in effect, the
Corporation or its successor(s) in interest, as owner or owners of the affected portion(s) of the Redevelopment Area, shall maintain or cause to be maintained the buildings and improvements within the Redevelopment Area which it owns in a good state
of repair and in conformity with applicable state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. 
  
 2.13 Changes. The Corporation shall promptly notify the City in writing of any changes in the location of the Corporation’s principal place of business and of any other material adverse change in fact or
circumstance directly affecting the Redevelopment Project. 
  
 2.14 City Access to Redevelopment Project. The City may conduct such periodic inspections of the Redevelopment Area and the Redevelopment Project as may be generally provided in the City’s Code of Ordinances. In addition, the
Corporation shall allow any authorized representatives of the City access to the Redevelopment Area and the Redevelopment Project from time to time upon reasonable advance notice prior to the completion of the Redevelopment Project for reasonable
inspection thereof. The Corporation shall also allow the City and its employees, agents and representatives to inspect, upon request, all architectural, engineering, demolition, construction and other contracts and documents pertaining to the
construction of the Redevelopment Project as the City determines is reasonable and necessary to verify the Corporation’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 2.15 Construction/Use Provisions. 
  
 (a) The Corporation agrees to construct the Redevelopment Project in accordance with the City’s Code of Ordinances and
with the site development/construction specifications that are described on Exhibit F hereto. In addition, the Corporation agrees that the office towers within the Redevelopment Project will be constructed and maintained in a manner
such that they will be classified as “Class A” or “first-class” office space by commercial real estate brokers. The Corporation further acknowledges the City’s desire that the Redevelopment Project be constructed in
accordance with standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in order to obtain LEED certification, and the Corporation will, or will cause the Developer to, use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate USGBC standards into
the design, construction and maintenance of the Redevelopment Project.

 FORCE MAJEURE 
  
 3.01 Force Majeure. 
  
 (a) Upon satisfaction of the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, the time periods provided for herein shall be extended by the number of days of delay caused by actions or events beyond the control of the Corporation,
including acts of God, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, civil disorder, war, lack of issuance of any permits and/or legal authorization by any governmental entity necessary for Corporation to proceed with the construction of the Redevelopment
Project, shortage or delay in the shipment of material or fuel, governmental action, fire, unusually adverse weather conditions, wet soil conditions, unavoidable casualties, litigation that challenges the Corporation’s right to acquire property
by eminent domain or that contests the designation of the Redevelopment Area as blighted, or by any other cause which the City Manager determines may justify the delay; provided that any such occurrences or events shall not be deemed to exist as to
any matter initiated or unreasonably sustained by Corporation, and further provided that Corporation notifies the City in writing within thirty (30) days of the commencement of any of the foregoing events. 
  
 (b) No event under (a) shall be deemed to exist (1) as to any
matter that could have been avoided by the exercise of due care on the part of the Corporation, (2) as to any matter initiated or unreasonably sustained by the Corporation, and (3) unless the Corporation provides the City with a written
notice within 30 days of the commencement of such claimed event specifying the event of force majeure. 
  
 3.02 Extensions. In addition to any extension permitted pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Agreement, the City may, upon request of the

 ARTICLE 4 
 TAX ABATEMENT AND PAYMENTS
IN LIEU OF TAXES 
  
 4.01 Tax Abatement. The tax
abatement provided in this Section, and the corresponding payments in lieu of taxes as required by Section 4.02, shall apply to each phase of the Redevelopment Project, and references in this Section and in Section 4.02 to
the Redevelopment Area shall apply to that portion of the Redevelopment Area associated with the appropriate phase of the Redevelopment Project; provided, in no event shall the tax abatement extend longer than 15 years after the Effective Date.

  
 (a) First Ten (10) Years. Subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, the real property within the Redevelopment Area shall not be subject to assessment or payment of general ad valorem taxes imposed by the City, the State of Missouri, or any political subdivision thereof, for a
period of ten (10) years after the date upon which the Corporation acquires title to such property (but only for so long as said parcel is used in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan), 
  

 -10- 








 except to such extent and in such amount as may be imposed upon such real property during such period
measured solely by the amount of the assessed valuation of land, exclusive of improvements, during the calendar year preceding the calendar year during which the Corporation acquired title to such real property. 
  
 (b) Next Five (5) Years. Until the earlier of
(1) the completion of five (5) additional years after the first ten (10) years in Section 4.01(a); or (2) twelve (12) complete calendar years after delivery or deemed delivery of the Certificate of Substantial
Completion, ad valorem taxes upon the real property within the Redevelopment Area shall be measured by the assessed valuation thereof as determined by the St. Louis County Assessor upon the basis of not to exceed fifty percent (50%) of the true
value of such real property, including improvements thereon, nor shall such valuations be increased above fifty percent (50%) of the true value of said real property from year to year during such period so long as the Redevelopment Area is used
in accordance with this Agreement and the Redevelopment Plan. 
  
 (c) Abatement Contingent upon Compliance with Redevelopment Plan. The tax relief provided in this Section shall be contingent upon the Corporation’s compliance with the Redevelopment Plan and this
Agreement, and shall apply to general ad valorem taxes only and shall not be deemed or construed to exempt the Corporation or its successors in interest, in whole or in part, from special assessments, fees, charges or other taxes that may be imposed
by the City or another governmental unit. 
  
 (d)
Expiration. Upon the expiration of such periods, the real property comprising the Redevelopment Area shall be subject to assessment and payment of all ad valorem taxes, based upon the full true value of such real property. 
  
 4.02 Payments in Lieu of Taxes. 
  
 (a) Agreement to Make PILOTs. Notwithstanding any provisions of
Section 4.01 above and Section 353.110 of the URC Law to the contrary, the Corporation agrees that, in addition to the ad valorem taxes computed pursuant to Section 4.01 hereinabove, it will pay to the St. Louis County
Collector of Revenue (“Collector”), on or before December 31 of each year during which real property taxes are abated in accordance with Section 4.01 above, payments in lieu of taxes (“PILOTs”) according to the
following: 
  
 (1) PILOTs during First Ten
(10) Years. During the first ten (10) years of each phase or all of the Redevelopment Project, as applicable, the Corporation will make the following PILOTS: 
  
 (A) Calendar years before and including Substantial Completion:  
  
 (i) The portion of the PILOTs calculated for the land in
the Redevelopment Area shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the total assessed valuation of such land, excluding the value of such land prior to the initiation of the Redevelopment Project, until the City accepts the Certificate of
Substantial Completion; and 
  
 (ii) The portion
of the PILOTs calculated for the improvements on property in the Redevelopment Area shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the total assessed valuation of the improvements, until the City accepts the Certificate of Substantial Completion.

  

 -11- 








 (B) Calendar years after Substantial Completion: 
  
 (i) The portion of the PILOTs calculated for the land in
the Redevelopment Area shall equal fifty percent (50%) of the total assessed valuation of such land, excluding the value of such land prior to the initiation of the Redevelopment Project, for each year after the City accepts the Certificate of
Substantial Completion; and 
  
 (ii) The portion
of the PILOTs calculated for the improvements on property in the Redevelopment Area shall equal fifty percent (50%) of the total assessed valuation of the improvements, for each year after the City accepts the Certificate of Substantial
Completion. 
  
 (2) PILOTs during Next Five
(5) Years. Until the earlier of (A) the completion of five (5) additional years after the first ten (10) years in Section 4.02(a)(1) or (B) twelve (12) complete calendar years after delivery of the Certificate
of Substantial Completion for the Redevelopment Project, the Corporation shall make PILOTs which, when added to payments made pursuant to Section 4.01, shall equal fifty percent (50%) of the general ad valorem taxes that would have
been due and payable for both land and improvements in the absence of the tax abatement provided in Section 4.01. 
  
 (b) Adjustment of PILOTS for Failure to Maintain Jobs. Centene Corporation will maintain the following number of Jobs within the Redevelopment Area
during the term of this Agreement: 
  

			
	 Calendar Year

	  	Number of Jobs


	 2006
	  	336
	 2007
	  	436
	 2008
	  	567
	 2009
	  	738
	 2010 and Thereafter
	  	959

  
 If Centene Corporation
fails to maintain the minimum number of Jobs within the Redevelopment Area as herein provided, measured by determining the highest actual number of Jobs during the 90-day period ending on each Test Date, either Centene Corporation or the Corporation
shall make a PILOT payment (in addition to any payments required under Section 4.02(a)) to the Collector on or before December 31 of each such calendar year in which Centene Corporation fails to maintain the required number of Jobs,
in an amount equal to: 
  

															
	 	 	 A.V.
   100
	  	X	  	T.T.L.	  	X .50 X	  	     R.J.-A.J.    
         R.J.
	  	=	  	Additional PILOT Payment

  

					
	A.V.	  	=	  	assessed valuation of the Corporation’s property in the Redevelopment Area for Test Date year
			
	T.T.L.	  	=	  	total of all ad valorem tax levies of all taxing jurisdictions in which the Redevelopment Area is located
			
	A.J.	  	=	  	highest number of Jobs during the 90-day period ending on the Test Date
			
	R.J.	  	=	  	required number of Jobs for Test Date year

  

 -12- 








 The Corporation shall perform the calculation set forth in this Section on each Test Date, and shall promptly provide a
copy of such calculation to the City, accompanied by a written certification of the Corporation that none of the Jobs included in such calculation is occupied by a person that has been hired for the primary purpose of satisfying or inflating the
calculation of Jobs required by this Agreement. The Corporation shall also provide to the City, promptly upon request, any information reasonably required by the City to verify such calculation. Any resulting increase in Additional PILOT Payments as
a result of such calculation shall be paid for the calendar year in which such Test Date occurs. In no event shall the PILOT payments as a result of such calculation exceed the amount of taxes that the Corporation would have been required to pay
during the applicable year in the absence of the adoption of the Development Plan. 
  
 For purposes of this Section, (a) “Job” means a full-time equivalent job position with Centene Corporation of not less than 35 hours per week within the Redevelopment Area, which shall include normal full-time employee
benefits offered by Centene Corporation, and (b) “Test Date” means October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2006. 
  
 (c) Payment, Distribution and Enforcement. The obligation to make the foregoing PILOTs shall constitute a lien against the Redevelopment Area,
enforceable by the City in the same manner as general real estate taxes. The Board of Aldermen shall furnish the Collector with a copy of this Agreement. The Collector shall allocate the revenues received from such PILOTs (whether received under
this Section or any other provision of this Agreement) among applicable taxing authorities in accordance with Section 353.110.4 of the URC Law. 
  
 4.03 Earnings Limitation on Redevelopment Project. The net earnings of the Corporation (and/or any successor owner) from the Redevelopment Project
shall be limited in accordance with the applicable provisions of the URC Law. 
  
 4.04 Financial and Annual Reports. 
  
 (a) During the period of tax relief provided in this Agreement for each phase or all of the Redevelopment Project, as applicable, the Corporation shall provide annually to the City’s Finance Director, within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the Corporation’s fiscal year, three (3) copies of its detailed financial report for the preceding year for the Redevelopment Project, examined by a certified public accountant and containing
a certification concerning such examination. Said financial reports shall disclose: 
  
 (1) the Corporation’s earnings derived from the Redevelopment Project; 
  
 (2) the disposition of any net earnings in excess of those permitted by Section 4.03 above;

  
 (3) the interest rate on income debentures,
bonds, notes or other evidences of debt of Corporation; 
  
 (4) the Corporation’s cost of the Redevelopment Project; and 
  
 (5) the Corporation’s income and expenses derived from or attributable to the Redevelopment Project. 
  

 -13- 








 (b) If, in the Finance Director’s judgment, the financial reports fail to provide the information
required by this Section in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or if a material dispute arises regarding the information provided in a financial report, and if requested by the City in writing, the Corporation shall, at its own
expense and in an amount agreed by the Corporation and the City, have an audit made of its books by an auditing firm to be named by the City and approved by the Corporation, and the findings of such audit shall be made available to the Finance
Director. 
  
 4.05 Accounting Practices. The Corporation
shall establish and maintain depreciation, obsolescence, and other reserves, and surplus and other accounts, including a reserve for the payment of taxes and PILOTs, according to recognized standard accounting practices. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
 TRANSFER OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA 
  
 5.01 Corporation’s Right to Transfer the Redevelopment Area. 
  
 (a) Sale to Developer. The Corporation may voluntarily sell, lease, assign, transfer, convey and/or otherwise dispose (hereinafter collectively
referred to as a “Sale”) the Redevelopment Area or any portion thereof to the Developer or an Affiliate without the City’s prior written consent, but the Corporation shall provide written notice to the City within ten (10) days
following such Sale to any such entity. Upon a Sale, all of the Corporation’s rights and obligations hereunder with respect to the subject property, including those concerning tax abatement and eminent domain, shall transfer to such entity.

  
 (b) Sale to Third Party. If the proposed Sale is to a
party other than the Developer or an Affiliate, then the Corporation shall first obtain the City’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The City may require that any proposed transferee, other than the
Developer or an Affiliate, demonstrate to the City’s reasonable satisfaction that the transferee is sufficiently experienced and financially capable in that it has reasonable financial worth and experience in light of the responsibilities
undertaken. In the event of such a Sale, all rights and obligations of the Corporation hereunder with respect to the subject property, including those concerning tax abatement and eminent domain, shall transfer to the transferee. 
  
 (c) Transferee Agreement. In the event of each transfer of property in
the Redevelopment Area pursuant to Section 5.01(b), the Corporation or its authorized successors and assigns shall require the proposed transferee to execute a transferee agreement with the City in substantial compliance with the form
attached as Exhibit E. No Sale shall occur without the prior execution of a transferee agreement with the City. The parties agree that the intention of each transferee agreement is to protect the Corporation and the City by ensuring
that all transferees of property within the Redevelopment Area receive actual notice of the rights, duties and obligations contained in this Agreement prior to taking ownership, and nothing contained in a transferee agreement that is an accordance
with Exhibit E shall be deemed to impose any rights, duties or obligations that are not imposed pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

  
 6.01 Default and Remedies.

Corporation, or if it cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the Corporation is not diligently proceeding to cure same. 
  
 (b) Remedies. The City shall have the following remedies upon the occurrence of a Corporation Event of Default: 
  
 (1) if the default is under (a)(1) or (a)(3) above, the
City’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement; and 
  
 (2) if the default is under (a)(2) above, the City may bring an action for specific performance to enforce such payments and/or may terminate this Agreement. In the event of litigation pertaining to the enforcement of
such payments, the losing party shall pay all costs of litigation, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. In addition, any amounts due hereunder that are not paid when due shall bear interest at the then applicable statutory interest rate per
annum from the date such payment was first due. 
  
 (c) Results
of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section, a declaration of abandonment shall be filed with the Recorder of Deeds of St. Louis County, and the real property included in the Redevelopment Area shall from that
date be subject to assessment and payment of all ad valorem taxes based on the true full value of such real property. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS

  
 7.01 Modifications; Successors and Assigns. The
terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and of the Redevelopment Plan shall not be modified or amended except by mutual agreement in writing between the City and the Corporation. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the

 -15- 








 professional service costs, planning costs, legal costs, financial advisor costs, other consultant costs and
administrative costs incurred or charged by the City associated with the Redevelopment Plan (“City Costs”) as of the Effective Date, the City shall retain such excess (the “Excess Funds”) in a separate account and apply such
Excess Funds as needed to pay additional City Costs paid or incurred after the Effective Date and not previously reimbursed. Upon full disbursement of the Excess Funds to pay City Costs, City shall notify Developer, and Developer shall reimburse the

District (the “District”) pursuant to Section 67.1401 through 67.1571 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended (the “CID Act”), which will encompass all or a portion of the property in the Redevelopment Area. The
parties agree that the District shall be operated in accordance with the following conditions and limitations: 
  
 (1) The District will be authorized to impose a special assessment up to the value of the tax abatement on all redeveloped parcels, to
ensure that all benefited property contributes to offset the extraordinary costs of the Redevelopment Project. 
  
 (2) The Corporation shall cause the District, at the request of the City, to impose a sales tax of up to one percent (1.0%) of gross
retail sales in accordance with the CID Act to pay for public improvements and/or services mutually agreed upon by the District and the City and benefiting the Redevelopment Area. 
  
 (3) The District shall impose no other tax, assessment, toll or charge whatsoever without the written
consent of the City. 
  
 (4) The District shall
maintain its existence until all costs of such District for which it was created and all outstanding District Obligations, if any, have been paid in full, at which time such District shall dissolve and the District Tax shall no longer be levied.

  
 (5) The District shall keep accurate records
of all revenues received and costs incurred, and such records shall be open to inspection by the City at all reasonable times. 
  
 (b) The City will cooperate with and assist the Corporation and/or the Developer in all proceedings relating to the creation and certification, as
necessary, of the District. The City shall timely consider and act upon the petition for the formation of the District and shall appoint directors, if applicable, as such time as requested by the Corporation and/or the Developer. The Corporation
shall pay or cause to be paid all reasonable costs incurred by the City in connection with the creation of the District. 
  
 7.04 Term of Agreement. Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 6.01, this Agreement shall terminate when no portion of the

imposed on the Corporation shall apply only to the Redevelopment Project described in the Redevelopment Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any liability of the Corporation to the City accruing prior to the termination of this
Agreement and remaining unsatisfied at the time of such termination shall continue and remain actionable beyond such date of termination. 
  

 -16- 








 7.05 Representatives Not Personally Liable. No elected or appointed official, agent, employee or
representative of the City shall be personally liable to the Corporation in the event of any default or breach by any party under this Agreement, or for any amount which may become due to any party or on any obligations under the terms of this
Agreement. 
  
 7.06 Indemnification and Hold Harmless. The
indemnification and covenants contained in this Section 7.06 shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. As used in this Section, the term “Corporation” shall include the authorized successors and assigns
of the Corporation. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the City shall not be liable to the Corporation for damages or otherwise in the event that all or any part of the URC Law, the Authorizing Ordinance and/or any other ordinance of the City adopted in connection with
this Agreement or the Redevelopment Plan or affecting the proposed Redevelopment Project is declared invalid or unconstitutional in whole or in part by the final (as to which all rights of appeal have expired or have been exhausted) judgment of any
court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (b) The
Corporation hereby agrees that, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, it will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, its governing body members, officers, agents, servants and employees against any and all claims, demands, actions,
causes of action, loss, damage, injury, liability and/or expense (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with (1) a Corporation Event of Default, (2) the negligence or
intentional misconduct of the Corporation, its employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors, or (3) the presence of hazardous wastes, hazardous materials or other environmental contaminants on any property within the Redevelopment Area. If
the validity or construction of the URC Law, the Authorizing Ordinance and/or any other ordinance of the City adopted in connection with this Agreement or the Redevelopment Plan or affecting the proposed Redevelopment Project is contested in court,

Corporation shall pay any monetary judgment and all court costs rendered against the City, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 7.06(b), the Corporation is not obligated to defend, hold harmless or indemnify the
City with respect to any matter or expense resulting from or arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City and/or its elected and/or appointed officers, governing body, members, servants, employees, agents, contractors or
subcontractors. 
  
 (c) The City and its
governing body members, officers, agents, servants and employees shall not be liable for any damage or injury to the persons or property of the Corporation or its officers, agents, servants or employees or any other person who may be about the
Redevelopment Area, or to the construction of the Redevelopment Project, except for matters arising out of the willful misconduct or negligence of the City or its governing body members, officers, agents, servants, employees, contractors or
subcontractors. 
  
 7.07 Contest of Assessed Valuation. In
consideration for the incentives and benefits provided by this Agreement, the Corporation agrees that neither it nor any successor in title or interest to any of the real property within the Redevelopment Area will challenge, appeal or otherwise
make an effort to reduce the assessed valuation of such real property during any time that the Redevelopment Project is receiving tax abatement under this Agreement; provided, the foregoing shall not bind the 
  

 -17- 








 Corporation or any successor if the assessed valuation is more than 10% greater than the projected assessed valuation of
such property, as shown in the Tax Impact Statement for the Redevelopment Area, attached hereto as part of Exhibit C. If (a) the Corporation or any successor challenges the assessed valuation pursuant to the provisions in the
preceding sentence, and (b) as a result of such challenge, the assessed valuation is reduced to an amount below the amount shown in the Tax Impact Statement, the Corporation shall make PILOTs to the Collector in an amount sufficient to produce
the same amount of revenues (i.e., taxes and PILOTs) under this Agreement as would otherwise be payable if the assessed valuation equaled the amount shown in the Tax Impact Statement.

herein to be given or is otherwise given pursuant hereto, it shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

	I.	INTRODUCTION 

  
 This proposed Development Plan is submitted to the City of Clayton (the “City”) by the Centene Plaza Redevelopment Corporation (the
“Corporation”), an urban redevelopment corporation organized under and pursuant to the provisions of “The Urban Redevelopment Corporations Law,” Chapter 353 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri 2000, as amended (“Chapter
353” or the “Law”) and covers a redevelopment area of seven (7) parcels containing approximately three and four-tenths (3.4) acres within a portion of the city block bounded by Forsyth Road and Carondolet Avenue
(North/South) and Bemiston and Hanley Boulevard (East/West). The boundaries of the Redevelopment Area are displayed on Plate 1 in Appendix 2. 
  
 Background information on Chapter 353 
  
 In pursuing the redevelopment of a declining area or to induce the development of an area that has been deficient in growth and development, the State of
Missouri has provided various statutory tools a municipality may use in order to initiate private and public development. One such tool is Chapter 353. This legislation provides for the establishment of a “redevelopment area”. In order to
establish a redevelopment area, the area proposed for designation must be “blighted” according to the criteria set forth in Chapter 353. 
  
 Chapter 353 allows cities and counties to (1) identify and designate redevelopment areas that qualify as “blighted areas”; (2) adopt a
Development Plan that designates the redevelopment area and states the objectives to be attained and the program to be undertaken; (3) approve a redevelopment project(s) for implementation of the Development Plan; and (4) utilize the tools
set forth in the Law to assist in reducing or eliminating those conditions that cause the area to qualify as a redevelopment area. The purpose of establishing a redevelopment area is to reduce or eliminate blighting conditions, foster economic and
physical improvement, and enhance the tax base of the taxing jurisdictions that levy taxes within the redevelopment area. 
  
 Generally, the Law allows municipalities to foster economic and physical improvements in a redevelopment or project area by granting a developer the power
of eminent domain to provide necessary property acquisition for the implementation of a Development Plan and redevelopment project. Chapter 353 also allows municipalities to grant the developer an abatement of the increased portion of the ad valorem
taxes (real estate taxes) that would otherwise result from the developer’s redevelopment project. 
  
 The premise underlying the tax abatement portion of Chapter 353 is relatively straight-forward. Ad valorem taxes in a redevelopment area are expected to
increase over prior levels when there is an increase in development activity. New development is induced through the ability to abate a percentage of the incremental ad valorem tax revenue created by the new development to lower future operating
costs of the developer and/or end user. 
  

 -3- 








 Chapter 353 allows up to 100% incremental tax abatement for a period of 10 years and up to 50%
incremental tax abatement for the following 15 years. When incremental tax abatement is approved, local jurisdictions that levy real property taxes continue to collect the taxes based on the assessed value of the property prior to the implementation
of Chapter 353. If the incremental tax abatement granted is less than 100%, local jurisdictions also collect taxes on a portion of the increased assessed value of the property. Following the abatement period, the assessor reassesses the property and
taxes are thereafter based on the full assessed value of the developed property. Throughout the entire abatement period, the taxing jurisdictions receive 100% of any new revenues from economic activity taxes (generally sales and utility taxes) and
100% of any personal property taxes. 
  
 Depending on the needs
of any particular project, the municipality may require that the developer make payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTS) which payments are distributed on a pro rata basis to all local jurisdictions which levy ad valorem taxes on real property. In
addition, the developer and the municipality can agree to an incremental abatement that is less than the maximum percentages described above. 
  
 The proposed redevelopment area and redevelopment project. 
  
 On April 22, 2005, the City of Clayton requested proposals for redevelopment of the 7700 block of Forsyth Blvd. and
Carondelet Ave., in the heart of the City’s downtown business district. On May 27, 2005, Centene Corporation (the “Developer”) submitted a proposal (the “Proposal”) in response thereto. The Corporation proposes to
redevelop the designated Redevelopment Area, to create a signature project suitable as a location for Centene Corporation’s expanding headquarters and provide new retail shopping experiences for downtown Clayton. 
  
 The project will include two, new first-class office buildings total
approximately 560,000 square feet, and additional retail and office space along Forsyth Blvd. Construction of the facilities will be focused around a pedestrian-friendly design in order to attract visitors and customers. The redevelopment project
will take full advantage of the Redevelopment Area’s highly visible and strategic location and significantly strengthen Clayton’s economy, as well as have a positive impact on the region. 
  
 The Redevelopment Area includes two parcels currently controlled by the
Developer: a parking garage located at 21 S. Hanley Road (the “Plaza C Property”) and a building located at 7700 Hanley Road, the former site of a Library Limited bookstore (the “Plaza B Property”). The Redevelopment Area also
includes five parcels located on Forsyth Blvd., at 7716 and 7718, 7720, 7730, 7732 and 7734, and 7736 Forsyth Blvd., each of which is currently under separate ownership (collectively, the “Forsyth Retail Properties”). The Plaza B Property,
the Plaza C Property, and the Forsyth Retail Properties are collectively referred to herein as the “Redevelopment Area.” 
  

 -4- 








 The master plan for the redevelopment of the Redevelopment Area and adjacent property owned by the
Developer or its affiliates consists of three phases, set forth in the Proposal. Phase I consists of the acquisition and renovation of the parking garage owned by the City at 7733 Carondelet Ave. (the “City Garage”) and construction of a
pedestrian bridge connecting the City Garage to Developer’s current office building located at 7711 Carondelet, adjacent to the Plaza C Property. As described in greater detail below, in Phase II, the Corporation will construct a new 16-story
office building on the Plaza C Property to house Centene Corporation’s headquarters, as well as provide additional office space for lease (“Tower C”). Phase III is the redevelopment of the Plaza B Property and the Forsyth Retail
Properties, including construction of a new office building on the Plaza B Property (“Tower B”). Subsequent to the submission of the Proposal, the Developer agreed not to seek tax abatement on Phase I in return for other redevelopment
consideration; consequently, the Redevelopment Area will consist of only those portions of property relating to Phase II and Phase III. Phase II and Phase III of the proposed redevelopment project are herein referred to collectively as the
“Project.” The Corporation’s plans for each of Phase II and Phase III are described in greater detail later in this document. 
  
 The Redevelopment Area legal descriptions and site maps are contained herein as Appendix 1 and Appendix 2, respectively. 
  

	II.	FINDING THAT REDEVELOPMENT AREA IS A BLIGHTED AREA 

  
 A blighting study entitled Analysis for the Designation of the Forsyth/Hanley Redevelopment Area, prepared by Peckham, Guyton, Albers, Viets, Inc. (PGAV),
is attached hereto as Appendix 3. 
  

	III.	DEVELOPMENT PLAN OBJECTIVES 

  
 The City’s Ordinance No. 6024 (the “Clayton 353 Ordinance”) found that there are blighted areas in isolated portions of the City.
Specifically, the Clayton 353 Ordinance found that certain areas, lots, and structures that, by reason of age, obsolescence, inadequate or outmoded design or physical deterioration, have become economic and social liabilities conducive to the ill
health, transmission of disease, crime, or inability to pay reasonable taxes. 
  
 For the reasons stated in Appendix 3, the Corporation believes that the Redevelopment Area meets the definition of a blighted area under the Law and that the Project to be developed pursuant to this proposed
Development Plan will address such blighted conditions by meeting the following objectives: 
  

	 	•	 	Serve as a catalyst for the removal of blight and reinvestment in the City of Clayton; 

  

	 	•	 	Enhance the public health, safety, and welfare of the community by improving the infrastructure, curing blighting conditions, and encouraging other public improvements necessary for
insuring the Redevelopment Area’s stability and existing and future redevelopment consistent with this Development Plan; 

  

 -5- 









	 	•	 	Stimulate private reinvestment and permanent employment opportunities and increased demand for services within the Redevelopment Area; 

  

	 	•	 	Enhance the tax base by inducing development of the Redevelopment Area to its highest and best use, benefit taxing districts and encourage private investment in surrounding areas;


  

	 	•	 	Provide development/business opportunities in the Redevelopment Area and surrounding areas; 

  

	 	•	 	Increase property values of the Redevelopment Area; and 

  

	 	•	 	Upgrade and refurbish utilities, and other infrastructure facilities serving the Redevelopment Area. 

  

	IV.	DEVELOPMENT PLAN. 

  
 The Corporation’s proposed Development Plan is described in this Section. 
  

	 	(a)	Legal Description. Legal descriptions for parcels located within the Redevelopment Area are attached hereto as Appendix 1. 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

	 	(b)	Description of the Project. 

  
 The initial site plan of the Redevelopment Area is attached hereto in Appendix 2. 
  
 The properties within the Redevelopment Area consist of seven parcels (described in Appendix 1). The Corporation owns
or controls 54% of the Redevelopment Area and anticipates it will acquire the remaining property through voluntary sale. Nevertheless, the Corporation must be given the right to condemn properties in the Redevelopment Area in order to ensure a
cohesive, timely development of the Project. 
  

 -6- 








 Project Phase I: The first step in the planned redevelopment is the Developer’s
acquisition and renovation of the City Garage. Developer plans to build a pedestrian bridge connecting the City Garage to the current Centene office building located at 7711 Carondelet. Phase I also includes approximately $2,000,000 in improvements
to Centene’s current office building. As noted above, the Developer has agreed not to seek tax abatement on Phase I in return for other redevelopment consideration; consequently, the Redevelopment Area will consist of only those portions of
property relating to Phase II and Phase III. 
  
 Project
Phase II: In Phase II of the proposed redevelopment, the Corporation will demolish the parking structure located on the Plaza C Property. In its place, the Corporation will construct a 16-story office building with approximately 290,000
gross square feet. Centene plans to occupy 50 to 60% of Tower C as its headquarters, and the remaining office space will be leased to other high quality tenants. During the Phase II construction period, it will be necessary for all of Centene’s
employees to park in the City Garage. Therefore, public parking in the City Garage may be limited during this construction period. 
  
 Project Phase III: Phase III of the Project is the planned redevelopment of the Plaza B Property and the Forsyth Retail Properties. The
largest component of Phase III consists of office space designed to accommodate the growing needs of Centene. Tower B is currently planned to contain approximately 271,000 gross square feet of building area, about 240,000 square feet of which will
be office space, 15,000 square feet of which will be retail space, with the balance to be used for stair cores, elevators, and other necessary components of the building which are not occupied by people. During this phase the Corporation, with a
development partner it will choose, will fully investigate and include a greater emphasis on retail development. Redevelopment of the Forsyth Retail Properties at 7716 through 7736 Forsyth Blvd. is expected to be included in this phase. All of the
design elements from Phase I through the final phase are designed around the need for connectivity. Pedestrian friendly connectivity between the streets and the buildings, from one building to another building, and access to parking are critical to
the redevelopment project and will be incorporated in the plan. It is anticipated that as much as 50,000 square feet of additional retail space could be incorporated on Forsyth adjacent to the Plaza B Property. 
  
 Overall, the Project will be designed with an emphasis on pedestrian
friendly access. It is anticipated that Centene Corporation will have employees in each of the three office towers on and adjacent to the Redevelopment Area and the Developer desires for employees to have easy and convenient pedestrian access to
each building, the new retail components, and all parts of the City of Clayton. As a result of this design focus, all pedestrians approaching the Project, whether employees, guests, patrons, or customers, will be provided easy access through its
plazas and surrounding sidewalks, and to a planned centralized parking structure. 
  

 -7- 









	 	(c)	No Property to Public Agencies. No portions of the Redevelopment Area are proposed to be sold, donated, exchanged or leased to the board of education, public library board,
art museum board or other public agency. 

  

	 	(d)	Zoning Changes. A Concept Site Plan for the Redevelopment Area is attached as Appendix 2 (the “Site Plan”), and includes uses of land and buildings in the
Project, the location, size and height of new building construction and identification of existing structures to remain, the location of all drives, curb cuts, sidewalks, and new traffic lanes, service and delivery access, the location and number of
parking spaces, islands, curbs, and a conceptual landscaping and screening plan. Currently, the Redevelopment Area is located in the High Density Commercial (“HDC”) District. It is anticipated that as plans for Phase II and Phase III of
the Project are finalized, the properties must be rezoned to a Planned Unit Development District to better accommodate the mixed uses and parking requirements anticipated in the Redevelopment Area. 

  
 Compliance with City Goals and Building Requirements: The Project will
address key goals within the Redevelopment Area set forth in the City’s Business Districts Master Plan (the “Master Plan”). The Redevelopment Area is part of Action Area #10, the “Office/Hotel Core,” as described in the
Master Plan. Recommended functions of this Action Area are “high density office uses, hotels and accompanying public and private parking facilities.” The Project also meets development objectives established for the Redevelopment Area,
because the Project will: 
  

	 	•	 	Maintain/upgrade the quality of existing high density development in the area, by constructing Tower C and Tower B, two high-quality office buildings which will enhance the image
and value of the Redevelopment Area; and 

  

	 	•	 	Develop mid-block pedestrian linkages in the long blocks comprising this action area, by constructing the skywalks described above, a spacious plaza linking the office buildings and
connecting sidewalks throughout the development. 

  
 The Project Property included in Phase III is also part of Action Area #1, the “Forsyth Corridor,” as described in the Master Plan. The Corporation recognizes the City’s vision of Forsyth Boulevard as the “spine” of
the City’s Central Business District, and the City’s focus on retail businesses and a pedestrian-friendly environment along this main corridor. As described in further detail above, Phase III will be the construction of Tower B, an office
building, and the redevelopment of the Forsyth Retail Properties. All ground floor space in the Phase III properties will be retail, as recommended by the Master Plan and required by the CBD Core Overlay Zoning District. As developed, the Phase III
properties will be pedestrian oriented, with upgraded facades, entries, signage, window treatments/displays and landscaping. Streetscape improvements will be installed along Forsyth, Hanley and Carondolet as part of the Project. New retail

  

 -8- 








 stores along Forsyth, including those in the ground floor of Tower B, will provide an attractive, busy
street level atmosphere consistent with a “Main Street” environment and the City’s goals for Forsyth Boulevard. Phase III of the Project will also comply with the other standards for the CBD Core Overlay Zoning District, including
required step-backs and design guidelines. 
  

	 	(e)	Street Changes. 

  

	 	1.	The Project will meet or exceed all guidelines for landscaping in the Redevelopment Area, including the planned pedestrian plaza. The walks and patios will incorporate attractive
landscape features such as trees, shrubs, other plants, fountains and public art. 

  

	 	2.	Existing trees will be preserved if possible. 

  

	 	3.	The alley extending west from Hanley Road through the former Library Limited property will be vacated to its intersection with the north/south alley and direct access from Hanley
Road will be eliminated. 

  

	 	4.	Crawford, Bunte, Brammeier (“CBB”) has been engaged to review the proposed Project and any necessary traffic or circulation improvements. CBB has extensive experience in
evaluating and recommending improvements in the Clayton area. Representatives from CBB have met with the City of Clayton and the St. Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic regarding the traffic conditions in and around the Redevelopment
Area. The Corporation and the Developer will continue to cooperate with the City and the County to settle on the best method of alleviating any anticipated traffic or circulation issues. A formal traffic study will be prepared and the plans for
traffic and circulation improvements will be modified based on conclusions in that study. 

  

	 	(f)	Business Relocations. The parcels with occupied businesses may require relocation assistance. The Corporation does not know the specific number of businesses occupying those
parcels. With respect to those parcels, the Corporation will develop and comply with a relocation policy consistent with the Relocation Policy of the City of Clayton set forth in Clayton Ordinance No. 6023. 

  

	 	(g)	Projects or Relocations Outside the Redevelopment Area. The Corporation does not know of any projects or relocations outside of the Redevelopment Area that would be initiated
due to the Project. 

  

	 	(h)	Financing; Marketability. The proposed financing for the Project consists of both private and public funds. Total costs are projected to be $77,356,028 for Phase II and
$89,565,203 for Phase III. The Corporation initially intends to finance the real property acquisition with cash, periodically accessing the capital markets on a project-by-project basis. Subject to reasonable confidentiality protections, the
Corporation will provide the City with evidence that the Corporation and its affiliates have the capacity to finance the Project. As the financing and 

  

 -9- 








 development plan for the Forsyth Retail Properties is refined, it may be beneficial to have a number of
parties participate as owners, lessees and/or sub-developers of one or more of these properties. The Corporation, however, will control the development process. If the Corporation determines a change in ownership of any portion of the property will
facilitate its development, such a change will be subject to the City’s approval in the City’s commercially reasonable discretion. 
  
 Based on estimated Project costs, the Corporation requires public participation to fund a portion of the costs, in order to make Clayton an overall
competitive location for the Project. The Corporation anticipates utilizing state and local incentives as critical parts of the Project funding. The availability of a suitable mix of these incentives is necessary for the Corporation’s
commitment to the Project. 
  
 The Corporation will work closely
with City, St. Louis County, and State of Missouri officials to cooperatively settle on the public funding approach that works best for all of the participating political subdivisions. 
  
 The Corporation further anticipates the following local financial incentives to play a role in the overall financing:

  
 1. Community Improvement District: The Corporation
proposes a community improvement district (“CID”) be formed encompassing the Redevelopment Area. A CID is authorized under the Community Improvement District Act, Sections 67.1401-67.1571 RSMo, as amended. The CID would provide the
Corporation a mechanism for converting the value of tax abatement under Chapter 353 to a stream of revenue to be used by the Corporation to offset the cost of various improvements related to the Project including, but not limited to, the pedestrian
plaza, street improvements and parking facilities. A CID assessment on real property equal to the value of the tax abatement would be imposed on all redeveloped parcels regardless of subsequent ownership and/or control to ensure that all benefited
property contribute to offset these extraordinary costs. Additionally, the CID would be authorized to impose a sales tax of up to 1% in retail sales within the Project Property. These funds would be applied toward the same activities as the CID
assessment. In the event major improvements to Hanley Road were undertaken by the City with the participation of other benefited property owners, the Corporation would consider having the CID sales tax pooled with the CID sales tax of a larger
benefit district to accomplish a comprehensive Hanley Road solution through Downtown Clayton. 
  
 2. Missouri Quality Jobs Program: The Corporation expects its affiliates to qualify and receive benefits from the State of Missouri under the
Quality Jobs Act Program (the “Jobs Program”) in connection with the Project. The Project will qualify as a “high-impact project” under the Jobs Program, defined as a project which creates at least 100 new jobs within 2 years.
Pursuant to the Jobs Program, qualified companies may retain an amount from 
  

 -10- 








 the withholding tax of the new jobs equal to 3% of new payroll for a period of five years if the average
wage of the new payroll equals or exceeds the county’s average wage. A qualified company may retain 3.5% of new payroll if the average wage of the new payroll in any year exceeds 120% of the county’s average wage or 4% of the new payroll
if the average wage in any year exceeds 140% of the county’s average wage. The Missouri Department of Economic Development (the “DED”) will issue a refundable tax credit for any difference between the benefit allowed and the
withholding tax retained in the event that the withholding tax is not sufficient to provide the entire benefit due to the qualified company. The maximum amount of tax credits that can be issued in a calendar year is $750,000. This amount can be
increased to $1,000,000 if the action is proposed by the DED and approved by the Quality Jobs Advisory Task Force. This tax credit cannot be carried forward but can be sold. A refund will be issued to the qualified company if the credits exceed the
company’s tax liability. Local government support is an important part of the Jobs Program. An additional 1% of new payroll may be retained by a qualified company if local incentives for the project are between 10% and 24% of the new direct
local revenues; 2% of new payroll may be added if the local incentives are between 25% and 49%; or 3% of payroll may be added if the local incentives are 50% or more of the new direct revenue. City participation in the Chapter 353 will substantially
enhance the effectiveness of this program as a funding source for the Project. 
  
 In addition to cash investment, it is anticipated that construction financing for the Project will be provided through a local bank. Permanent financing (upon completion of construction) is expected to be provided by
a bank or other institutional lender. 
  

	 	(i)	Management. The following persons will likely be active in or associated with the management of the Project following the approval of the Development Plan:


  

			
	Michael F. Neidorff	 	James E. Reh
	7711 Carondelet Avenue,	 	7711 Carondelet Avenue,
	Suite 800	 	Suite 800
	St. Louis, MO 63105	 	St. Louis, MO 63105

  

	 	(j)	Eminent Domain. The Corporation anticipates that eminent domain rights may be necessary to acquire certain parcels not owned or controlled by the Corporation. These parcels
represent less than 46% of the total land coverage within the Redevelopment Area and are described on Appendix 1 as Parcels 2, 3, 4, 5A, 5B, 6, and 7 of Phase III. These parcels include an aggregate area of approximately 1.38 acres. Efforts
have been made and will continue to purchase these parcels by negotiated agreements. However, the Corporation believes the sale at a fair and reasonable price from the current owners remains undecided. 

  

	 	(k)	Limitations on Assignment of Project. A separate development agreement to be executed by the Corporation and the City will include reasonable limitations on the
Corporation’s right to assign the Project to ensure that the intention and purpose of the Project will be carried out. 

  

 -11- 









	 	(l)	Reimbursement and Indemnification Agreements. A separate development agreement to be executed by the Corporation and the City will include reasonable reimbursement and
indemnification agreements with the City regarding (i) the City’s costs incurred for evaluating and reviewing of the proposed development plan and for participating in plan implementation, and (ii) costs or damages resulting from
third-party claims or litigations. 

  

	 	(m)	Current Assessed Value of Parcels. The most current assessed value of the real property located in the Redevelopment Area is shown in Appendix 4. A parcel
identification map identifying the parcels by tax locator numbers is also included in Appendix 4. 

  

	 	(n)	Tax Abatement Requested; Economic Impact on Tax Base. 

  
 Chapter 353 provides for the creation of a specialized corporation (a “URC”) to acquire, construct, maintain and operate redevelopment projects.
URCs can own and operate redevelopment projects in areas that qualify. Real property owned by a URC is eligible for tax abatement. 
  
 The Corporation is requesting tax abatement pursuant to Section 5 of the Clayton 353 Ordinance. Specifically, the Corporation is requesting for the
City to approve a tax abatement of fifty percent (50%) of the incremental real property taxes for the Redevelopment Area for up to twelve (12) years following the completion of Phases II and III, respectively, as more specifically
described in the Redevelopment Agreement to be entered into between the City and the Corporation. Because the 12-year period for each phase will begin at the completion of the particular phase, and the construction schedule is staggered, the total
period during which abatement will affect tax revenues is 15 years. In year 16 and going forward, real property taxes will be payable with respect to the entire Redevelopment Area based on 100% of the assessed value of the improved property.
Incremental real property taxes refer to the amount of increase in tax due to higher property valuations occurring in the project area after completion of the redevelopment. The increase or increment is based on the amount of real property taxes
paid with respect to the affected property in the “base year,” which is usually the year before work on the redevelopment began. This approach provides a level of incentives necessary to make this project feasible. Based upon current tax
rates as provided by the City, the Developer’s estimates of Project costs, and the schedule for phased construction, the benefit to the Project from this program is $10,702,154 over 15 years, as reflected in the attached Appendix 4. The
City, the Clayton School District and other taxing jurisdictions will enjoy increased taxes generated as a result of the Project in an amount superior to those taxes otherwise generated without this comprehensive redevelopment. Additional local real
and personal property tax revenues will be $24,793,810 over the same 15-year period, as reflected in the attached Appendix 4. The abatement sought 
  

 -12- 








 by the Corporation is less than the maximum abatement levels permitted by Chapter 353. The City will also
gain additional benefit from increased sales and utility taxes. In 2010, projected to be the first full year after completion and stabilization of the Project, it is anticipated the Project will generate an additional $745,000 in city sales tax and
an additional $67,256 in utility taxes. 
  
 A detailed
explanation of the abatement requested and the related tax impact statement is attached hereto as Appendix 4. 
  

	 	(o)	Objectives of the Development Plan. The objectives of the proposed Development Plan and how those objectives will be implemented through the Project are stated in Part II of
this Development Plan and in the above provisions of this Part IV. 

  

	 	(p)	Other Information. 

  
 Jobs Impact on City of Clayton: Job retention and creation is a major focal point of this proposal. Centene projects an increase in full-time
employees at its Clayton headquarters from the current 290 employees to 1,279 by the end of 2010:

	  	757
	 2009
	  	984
	 2010
	  	1,279

  
 The new job creation
will include positions in administration, finance, information systems, strategy and business implementation, provider relations, customer support service, medical management, marketing and communications and specialty companies. The employment
increase reflects an average annual job growth rate of approximately 30%. Centene’s projected payroll for 2005 is approximately $22,000,000. It is estimated the new jobs will increase Centene’s payroll to approximately $110,000,000 in
2010, upon completion and stabilization of the Project. 
  
 Centene has a strong record of job growth to support these growth projections. Between December 2000 and October 7, 2005, the number of Centene employees in Clayton increased from 45 to 329, an increase of over 600% in less than five
(5) years. Over the same period, total employees nationwide grew from 277 to 1,752, an increase of over 500%. The average wage for these new jobs will exceed the average wage for St. Louis County. 
  

 -13- 








 In addition to the projected employment increase at Centene, newly created retail space as a result of
the Project is estimated to generate approximately 72 new, full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. 
  
 The Corporation further understands the submission of other information may be required as part of the City’s review process.

CLAYTON, MISSOURI (the “City”) and                     , a
             corporation (“Transferee”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A. The property to be purchased by Transferee as legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”) is part of
the Redevelopment Area under the Forsyth/Hanley Redevelopment Plan (the “Redevelopment Plan”) approved by the City pursuant to Ordinance No.              adopted by
the Board of Aldermen on     , 2005 (the “353 Ordinance”). 
  
 B. The Property is subject to that certain Redevelopment Agreement for the Forsyth/Hanley Redevelopment Area between the City and the Centene Plaza
Redevelopment Corporation (the “Corporation”), dated                     , 2005, and recorded in the St. Louis County
Recorder of Deeds Office on                     , 2005, as Document No.
            (the “Redevelopment Agreement”). 
  
 C.                     , a Missouri
             company, is the successor in interest to Corporation with respect to the Property. [Use if transfer is from an entity other than Corporation.] 
  
 D. Sections 5.01(c) and 7.01 of the Redevelopment Agreement
require as a condition precedent to the transfer of property within the boundaries of the Redevelopment Area (as defined in the Redevelopment Agreement) that the proposed transferee enter into and deliver to the City this Transferee Agreement,
obligating the Transferee to comply with the requirements of the Redevelopment Plan and the obligations of the Redevelopment Agreement relating to the Property. 
  

E. The Board of Aldermen has found that Transferee has satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 of the Redevelopment Agreement,
wherein the Transferee has demonstrated to the City’s reasonable satisfaction that the Transferee has (1) prior real estate development experience in Projects similar to the Redevelopment Project, and (2) reasonable financial worth
and management experience in light of the responsibilities imposed under the Redevelopment Agreement. 
  
 F. The parties desire to enter into this Transferee Agreement in order to satisfy the condition precedent set forth in Sections 5.01(c) and
7.01 of the Redevelopment Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for
and in consideration of the promises and the covenants entered herein, City and Transferee agree as follows: 
  
 1. The Transferee has entered into a purchase contract with the Corporation, or an authorized successor and assign, pursuant to which the Transferee will
acquire the Property. 
  
 2. The Transferee acknowledges that it
has been provided with and/or has reviewed the Redevelopment Plan, the 353 Ordinance, the Redevelopment Agreement and all other documents associated with the Redevelopment Plan that may be necessary for the Transferee to make an informed decision
regarding purchase of the Property with respect to the matters set forth in those documents and this Transferee Agreement. 
  

 E-1 








 3. The Transferee acknowledges and agrees that its acquisition of the Property and the transfer of the
Property to the Transferee is subject in all respects to the Redevelopment Agreement, the Redevelopment Plan, the 353 Ordinance, and the rights of the City pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement, and the URC Law (as defined in the Redevelopment
Agreement). 
  
 4. The Transferee acknowledges that in the event
of the sale, lease, sublease, assignment, or other voluntary or involuntary disposition of any or all of the Property, the obligations of the Redevelopment Agreement shall continue and shall inure to and be binding upon the heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns of the respective subsequent transferees as if they were in every case specifically named and shall be construed as a covenant running with the land and enforceable as if such purchaser, tenant, transferee or
other possessor thereof were originally a party to and bound by the Redevelopment Agreement. The Transferee assumes the duty to notify any purchaser, tenant, transferee or other possessor of the property its rights, duties and obligations under the
Redevelopment Agreement. 
  
 5. The Transferee acknowledges that
its acquisition of the Property, and any subsequent conveyance, requires the prior written approval of the City so long as the Redevelopment Agreement is in full force and effect. Pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement, the City may require,
without limitation, that a subsequent transferee demonstrate to the City’s reasonable satisfaction that it has reasonable financial worth and experience in light of the responsibilities imposed under the Redevelopment Agreement. Transferee
acknowledges that its purchase and any subsequent sale of the Property will be subject to any and all rights of the City or the Corporation, as are set forth in the Redevelopment Agreement, the Redevelopment Plan, the 353 Ordinance and the URC Law
with respect to such purchaser or transferee of the Property, whether or not specifically enumerated herein. 
  
 6. The parties agree that the intention of this Transferee Agreement is to ensure that Transferee has actual notice of the rights, duties and obligations
contained in the Redevelopment Agreement prior to taking ownership of the Property, and nothing contained in this Transferee Agreement shall be deemed to impose any rights, duties or obligations that are not imposed pursuant to the Redevelopment
Agreement. 
  
 7. This Transferee Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of Missouri.

 EXHIBIT F 
  

SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS 
  
 General Objectives 
  
 The General Objectives of the design guidelines are to provide a brief description of the City’s expectation regarding several aspects of the project. Specific
regulations pertaining to the below-referenced categories and other project requirements are governed by the City’s Zoning Ordinance, particularly the Site Plan Review section and other applicable ordinances, regulations and standards.

  

	 	A.	Architectural design including size, mass, bulk, color and quality, must be compatible with the site development and provide continuity for all phases of the project.


  

	 	B.	Site and building design must respect the adjacent Central Business District and Carondelet Plaza to the east. 

  

	 	C.	Design and materials for all phases of the project must be of the highest quality and provide the Clayton Central Business District a signature presence on these pivotal corners.


  

	 	D.	Landscaping must be aesthetically pleasing and functional in screening uses. 

  

	 	E.	Site layout must assure appropriate ingress/egress while diminishing the impact of traffic associated with the project. 

  

	 	F.	Off-site improvements shall be consistent with the already-existing Clayton design standards for the Central Business District including but not limited to City Streetscape on
sidewalks adjacent to the project. 

  

	 	G.	Elements of visual interest to the public shall be included in the project. Public art, seating areas and similar features shall be included to make the project inviting to the
general public. 

  

	 	H.	Signage must be well designed of quality material and in scale with the development and surrounding uses. 

  
 Overlay Standards 
  
 All aspects of the Business District Master Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Architectural Review Board Standards will be followed for the entire Redevelopment Area. However, a
portion of the area is located in the Central Business District Overlay Zone as shown below: 
  

 F-1 








 

 
  
 The City designated this district as an Overlay Zone
in an effort to maintain and enhance the “pedestrian scale” of the area. To accomplish this goal and provide for high quality development compatible with the Clayton Central Business District, the following conditions must be met:

  

	 	1.	For buildings permitted to exceed the maximum height through the planned unit development process, a 15-foot step-back (upper story building setback) shall be provided beginning at
the third story level or thirty (30) feet above grade, whichever is less. However, the Plan Commission shall have the authority to require a different step-back(s) for buildings dependent upon building height, lot size and other relevant
factors. Step-backs shall be proportional to the amount of building height. The upper story step-back shall be provided along all building elevations with street frontage, excluding alleys. 

  

	 	2.	Footprint geometry must be square and true with the roadway to the extent possible. Odd shapes and building orientation which compete with the total urban setting should be avoided.


  

	 	3.	For properties within the CBD Core Overlay District, all ground floor uses must be retail in nature, but may include personal care services. 

  

	 	4.	Party wall development should be encouraged to ensure a continuous building façade. 

  

	 	5.	Building skylines should provide interest through introduction of compatible shapes and roof forms. Long interrupted cornices should be avoided. 

  

	 	6.	Façade relief should be incorporated into all building elevations. Blank walls, long horizontal openings, odd shapes and glass walls should be avoided.


  

 F-2 









	 	7.	Street level (ground floor) elevation facing the street should be storefront architecture with large show windows interrupted at regular intervals with building piers and generous
entrances. Blank walls, long uninterrupted show windows, odd shaped and small show windows should be avoided. 

  

	 	8.	Parking structures abutting the street must have ground level retail, personal care services, dry cleaning facilities, food and beverage service uses, consumer service offices
(limited to financial institutions including banks, savings and loans, and credit unions, retail offices and travel agencies), or governmental offices facing the sidewalk. The upper story must be of design, material and color compatible with the
urban setting of the Central Business District. 

  
 Building Design – Entire Project 
  
 The purpose of the Building Design Guidelines is to promote high quality development that enhances the aesthetics of the Clayton Central Business District and encourage creativity. These Guidelines serve as a supplement to existing zoning
regulations, Architectural Review Guidelines and Building Codes, and must be satisfied with respect to all aspects of the Redevelopment Project: 
  

	 	1.	Material and design must be of the highest quality to assure this project is considered a signature development for this pivotal corner. 

  

	 	2.	Architectural design must be compatible with the existing development within the area, and to the east at Carondelet Plaza. 

  

	 	3.	Variations of detail, form and siting shall be used to provide visual interest. Architectural detail on the ground floor, window trim and roofline shall provide unique styling.


  

	 	4.	All elevations, including the rear of the structures, shall be similar in design and material so as to assure building continuity from all directions. 

  

	 	5.	Window openings shall be incorporated into all building elevations. Blank walls, long, horizontal openings and odd shaped windows shall be avoided. 

  

	 	6.	Parking garages must be located above or below the ground floor retail level. The design of the parking garage shall blend with the building and contain identical architectural
features. 

  

	 	7.	All roof and ground mechanical equipment shall be screened so as to conform in design, color and texture with the overall architectural treatment of the structure.


  
 Site Access, Circulation and Traffic Control

  
 The location and orientation of site access will be evaluated as part
of a traffic study to be performed on the City’s behalf by Crawford, Bunte & Brammeier (CBB). CBB will research and provide recommendations related to the building site, adjacent developments, engineering consideration, circulation
patterns and impact of curb-cut placement on the traffic flow on Forsyth Boulevard, Carondelet, and Hanley Road. In addition, site access issues will consider the following: 
  

	 	1.	This development will likely require the widening of Hanley Road or Forsyth Boulevard or both to mitigate the impact of additional traffic at this location.


  

 F-3 









	 	2.	The plan must provide assurance that the developer will design the site for safe traffic movements into and exiting the site. 

  

	 	3.	Conflict between vehicular areas and pedestrian crossings must be alleviated by the appropriate placement of the curb-cut(s). 

  

	 	4.	Parking facilities must have adequate interior circulation. Parking stall placement, size, provisions for handicapped parking, and travel aisle(s) must meet City codes.


  

	 	5.	Driveway and garage entrances must be compatible and efficient with the site layout and surrounding area. 

  

	 	6.	Service and loading areas must be located at the rear of the building accessible from the alley. 

  

	 	7.	Surface parking should be limited and placed to the rear of buildings and screened from public view. 

  
 Landscaping 
  
 Significant landscaping shall be incorporated throughout the development area to create a pleasing environment. A landscape plan prepared by a landscape architect or
certified arborist must be submitted as part of the site plan review process. The landscape plan must depict existing trees to be removed, trees to be replaced and new tree plantings per caliper and species. The landscape plan must also depict other
existing and proposed landscaping (i.e. bushes, grassy areas). The following landscape guidelines shall be incorporated: 
  

	 	1.	Existing vegetation, where appropriate, should be retained and incorporated into the overall landscape design. 

  

	 	2.	Parking areas must be screened with dense plantings with an emphasis on the use of evergreen species as the primary plant material. 

  

	 	3.	Trash areas must be screened with a wood fence or masonry enclosure with dense landscaping at the perimeter. 

  

	 	4.	Where possible, plant material must be placed intermittently along building frontages, retaining walls, fences and other linear structures. 

  

	 	5.	To promote the healthy growth of the plantings, all landscaped areas and turf must be irrigated. 

  

	 	6.	Trees that are removed will require replacement on a caliper-per-caliper basis. 

  

	 	7.	The City’s tree protection standards will apply to all remaining existing trees (including street trees) to ensure survival during construction. 

  

	 	8.	Deciduous trees must be a minimum diameter of 3-inches. Upright evergreens must be a minimum height of 6-feet. 

  

 F-4 








 Signage 
  
 Signage is an important architectural detail that reflects upon the integrity of the project. Signage should be designed in a coordinated manner throughout the
development area to provide business identification and direction. Size and placement of signage must be consistent with the City’s Sign Ordinance and is subject to Architectural Review Board approval. Additional considerations are as follows:

  

	 	1.	The signage location, size, size and orientation shall not impair visibility or distract motorists. 

  

	 	2.	No flashing, rotating, revolving, animated or changeable copy signage shall be allowed. A-frame signage is prohibited. 

  
 Public Art and Public Space 
  
 This development will utilize a Planning Unit Development (PUD) process that requires public
benefit. Some of that benefit can be met by providing significant pieces of public art and encouraging pedestrian-friendly public access as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Public art incorporated into the project must be a significant piece(s) and be approved by the City’s Art Commission and Architectural Review Board. 


 

	 	2.	Public art must be located on plazas or greenspace easily accessible to the public. 

  

	 	3.	Public seating areas and other features of interest must be integrated into the project. 

  
 Streetscape 
  
 The City of Clayton requires streetscape installation for all new development in the Central Business District. Streetscape must be installed per the specifications of
CDG engineers, 1997, to assure conformance with the existing streetscape already in place. Streetscape takes place on City right-of-way but is paid by the developer. The following elements are included in the Clayton streetscape requirements:

  

	 	1.	Decorative tree grates generally located on the sidewalk near the curb. 

  

	 	2.	Tree(s) as specified by the City’s Pubic Works Department (including irrigation). 

  

	 	3.	Brick banding along the sidewalk and surrounding tree grate(s). 

  

	 	4.	Light pole and fixture per Public Works specifications and placement. 

  
 Streetscape specifications are available from the City’s Public Works Department and required on the plans as part of the Site Plan Review process. 
  

 F-5 








 CONCLUSION: 
  
 The above objectives and standards will be required for the Centene project. Additionally, the project must follow the normal approval process for development in Clayton.
This includes, but is not limited to, the provisions found in the Zoning Ordinance governing Planned Unit Developments, the Subdivision Ordinance for property assembly, the Architectural Review Standards for design and material integrity and Site
Plan Review provisions, which will govern the majority of the elements related to the project.
