This Contract made and entered into by and between the City of Corpus Christi, Texas,

and Sam Kane Beef Processors, Inc. ("Sam Kane").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, it is the general policy of the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi,
Texas, to adopt reasonable measures permitted by law that will tend to enhance the
economic stability and growth of the City and its environs and will attract the location of
new and the retention and expansion of existing industries in the City and its environs,
and this policy is hereby reaffirmed and adopted by this City Council as being in the
best interest of the City and its citizens; and
WHEREAS, Landowner is the owner of land and improvements on land within the
extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Corpus Christi, and
WHEREAS, upon execution of this contract by the City this land shall be known as
"Corpus Christi Strategic Partnership Zone No. 5," and this land is more particularly
described in Exhibit "A" by metes and bounds, as provided in Section VII and in Exhibit
"B" by a listing of the property by account number designated by the Nueces County
Appraisal District ("NCAD") or its successor attached to this Contract, and incorporated
in this Contract for all purposes, in this Contract called "the land" and upon which
Landowner has either constructed improvements; and
WHEREAS, under the policy and the provisions of Section 43.0563, Texas Local
Government Code, City is willing to enter into strategic partnership agreements for the
provision of services within its extraterritorial jurisdiction in lieu of annexation; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual contracts of the
parties in this Contract contained and under the authority granted under Section
43.0563, Texas Local Government Code, City and Landowner agree as follows:
I.
A.1. City covenants and agrees that during the term of this Contract, and subject to the
terms and provisions of this Contract, the land will retain its extraterritorial status as a
strategic partnership zone and shall continue to retain this status until and unless the
status is changed under the terms of this Contract. Except as provided in this Contract,
the City further covenants and agrees that it will not annex the land.
Page 1 of 7
Kane Contract for Services In Lieu of Annexation -- Landowner#5 -- 11142008.doc
2. During the term of this Contract, City has no obligation to extend to the land any City
services, except fire protection and City utility services, including water, wastewater,
gas, and storm water services. Utility services will be provided at inside city limits rates.
B. Further, City and Landowner agree that during the term of this Contract, Landowner
shall comply with the City's:
1. Ordinances, rules, or regulations governing zoning and platting of the land.
Landowner further agrees that it will in no way divide the land or additions to this
Contract without complying with State law and City ordinances governing subdivision of
land.
2. Ordinances, rules, or regulations prescribing any building, electrical, energy
conservation, fuel gas, mechanical, plumbing, inspection, or other technical construction
code or codes.
3. Ordinances, rules, or regulations governing the method of operations of Landowner's

C. Landowner covenants and agrees that during the term of this Contract, Landowner
will not use or permit the use of the land and improvements covered by this Contract for
purposes not authorized by the City's Comprehensive Plan.
D. Landowner covenants and agrees that this Contract must be treated as a petition for
annexation of the land and a request for immediate annexation upon termination of this
Contract. Upon termination of this Contract for any reason, including, but not limited to,
expiration, with or without extension, termination for default, or termination at the
request of either party, the lands are automatically annexed into the City, and the
Landowner waives any and all rights to contest the annexation by the City. This
covenant is a covenant running with the land, and is binding upon the Landowner's
successors and assigns.
II.
The term of this Contract shall be five (5) years beginning December 1, 2008, and
continuing until November 30, 2013, unless extended for additional period or periods of
time upon mutual consent of Landowner. If this Contract is not extended for an
additional period or periods of time on or before May 31 of the final calendar year of the
term of this Contract, then the immunity from annexation granted in this Contract
terminates on that date, but all other terms of this Contract shall remain in effect for the
remainder of the term; provided, however, the effective date and time of annexation
may not be earlier than midnight of November 30 of the final year of the term.

Kane Contract for Services In Lieu of Anriexation -- Landowner#5 -- 11142008.doc
nl.
Each year during the term of this Contract, Sam Kane Beef Processors, Inc., shall pay
to the City, for the Landowner, an amount in lieu of taxes on the land, including
improvements and personal property located on the land, equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes based upon the market value of the land,
improvements, and personal property, which would otherwise be payable to City by
Landowner if the land were situated within the city limits of City.
IV.
A. Sam Kane agrees to pay to City on or before January 31 of the year following each
year during the term of this Contract all payments in lieu of taxes provided for under this
Contract without discount for early payment. The present ratio of ad valorem tax
assessment used by City is one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of
property, including land, improvements, and personal property. Any change in the ratio
used by City shall be reflected in any subsequent computations under this Contract.
This Contract and the method of determining and fixing the amount of in lieu of taxes
payments under this Contract shall be subject to all provisions of law relating to
determination of market value and taxation, including, but not limited to, laws relating to
rendition, assessment, equalization, and appeal.
B. In determining the Landowner's in lieu of taxes annual payment required under this
Contract, the calculation shall be made utilizing the fair market value of all property
determined by NCAD or its successor under provisions of the Texas Property Tax
Code. The Landowner shall timely provide information and reports required under
Texas law, rules, and regulations to NCAD or its designee, so that the appraisal process
can be completed in accordance with all applicable state laws. Upon written request
each year by the City's Collection Section, the Landowner will provide the City with the
certified fair market value assessment for use in calculation and preparation of the
annual in -lieu tax payment.
V.
If Landowner elects to protest the valuation set on any of its properties by Nueces
County Appraisal District (NCAD) for any year or years during the term of this Contract,
it is agreed that nothing in this Contract shall preclude the protest and Landowner shall
have the right to take all legal steps desired by it to reduce the same as if the property
were located within the City, except with regard to the exemptions in Part IV B.
Notwithstanding any protest by Landowner, Landowner agrees to pay to City an initial in
lieu of tax payment, on or before the date provided for in this Contract, of at least the
amount of the payment in lieu of taxes on the land, improvements, and personal
property that would be due by Landowner to City under this Contract on the basis of
renditions filed by Landowner with City's Collection Section for that year on the basis of
the assessment of this Contract for the last preceding year, whichever is higher. When
the valuation on the property has been finally determined, either as the result of final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as the result of other final settlement of
Page 3 of 7
Kane Contract for Services In Lieu of Annexation -- Landowner#5 — 11142008.doc
the controversy, then within thirty (30) days thereafter Landowner shall make to City any
additional payment due based on the final valuation. If as a result of final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, or as the result of other final settlement of the
controversy, the valuation of Landowner's property is established as an amount less
than the amount used to compute the initial in lieu of tax payment for that year by
Landowner, then within thirty (30) days thereafter City shall make to Landowner any
payment due based on the difference between the initial payment and that which is
computed based on the final settlement.
VI.
A. If Landowner or Sam Kane fails or refuses to comply with all or any of the terms,
conditions, and obligations in this Contract imposed upon the Landowner or Sam Kane,
then this Contract may be terminated at the option of City and the City may elect to sue
to recover any sum or sums remaining due under this Contract or take any other action
which in the sole discretion of the City it deems best. If the City elects to sue to recover
any sum due under this Contract, the penalties, interest, attorney's fees, and cost of
collection are recoverable by the City as would be in a suit to recover delinquent ad
valorem taxes. The lands are automatically annexed into the City upon termination of
the Contract.
B. If Landowner or Sam Kane defaults in paying in lieu of tax payments under this
Contract, City is entitled to a tax lien on the land and improvements; and the lien may be
enforced by City in the same manner as provided by law for the collection of delinquent
ad valorem taxes.
C. If City breaches this Contract by annexing or attempting to pass an ordinance
annexing any of the land, Landowner may enjoin City from the date of its breach for the
balance of the term of this Contract, from enforcing any annexation ordinance adopted
in violation of this Contract and from taking any further action in violation of this
Contract. If Landowner elects to pursue this remedy, then so long as City specifically
performs its obligations under this Contract, under injunctive order or otherwise,
Landowner shall continue to make the annual payments required by this Contract.
VII.
Landowner agrees to provide to City at Landowner's expense, a survey plat and field
note description of the land.
VIII.
A. If any attempt to annex any of the land owned, used, occupied, leased, rented, or
possessed by Landowner, is made by another municipality, or if the incorporation of any
new municipality should attempt to include within its limits the land or property, the City
shall seek a temporary and permanent injunction against the annexation or
incorporation, with the cooperation of Landowner, and shall take any other legal action
necessary or advisable under the circumstances. The cost of the legal action shall be
Page 4 of 7
Kane Contract for Services In Lieu of Annexation -- Landowner#5 -- 11142008.doc
borne equally by the Landowner; provided, however, the fees of any special legal
counsel shall be paid by the party retaining same.
8.1. If City and Landowner are unsuccessful in obtaining a temporary injunction
enjoining the attempted annexation or incorporation, Landowner shall have the option
of:
(a) Terminating this Contract, effective as of the date of the annexation or incorporation.
(b) Continuing to make the in lieu of taxes payments required under this Contract.
2. This option must be exercised within thirty (30) days after the application for the
temporary injunction is denied.
3. If Landowner or Sam Kane elects to continue the in lieu of taxes payments, the City
shall place future payments under this Contract together with part of the payment for the
calendar year in which the annexation or incorporation is attempted, prorated to the
date the temporary injunction or relief is denied, in a separate interest-bearing escrow
account that must be held by City subject to the following:
(a) If final judgment (after all appellate review, if any, has been exhausted) is entered
denying a permanent injunction and/or upholding the annexation or incorporation, then
all these payments and accrued interest must be refunded to Landowner.
(b) If final judgment (after all appellate review, if any, has been exhausted) is entered
granting a permanent injunction and/or invalidating the annexation or incorporation, then
all the payments and accrued interest may be retained for use by City.
IX.
This Contract inures to the benefit of and be binding upon City, Landowner, and Sam
Kane, and upon Landowner's and Sam Kane's successors and assigns, affiliates and
subsidiaries, and remains in force whether Landowner or Sam Kane sells, assigns, or in
any other manner disposes of, either voluntarily or by operations of law, all or any part
of the land, and this Contract contained must be held to be covenants running with the
land for so long as this Contract or any extension of this Contract remains in force.
X.
If any word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other part of this
Contract or the application of this Contract to any person, firm, corporation or
circumstances shall ever be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unconstitutional for any reason, then the application, invalidity or unconstitutionality of
the word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other part of this
Contract shall be deemed to be independent of and separable from the remainder of
this Contract and the validity of the remaining parts of this Contract shall not be affected
thereby, unless the holding has the effect of diminishing the revenues payable to City
under this Contract.
