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. Page 2 of 7 Kane Contract for Services In Lieu of Annexation -- Landowner#8 -- 11142008.doc 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#8 -- 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#8 -- 11142008.doc borne equally by the Landowner; provided, however, the fees of any special legal counsel shall be paid by the party retaining same. B.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.
