IV. TERM OF ABATEMENT AND AGREEMENT
A. The City agrees to abate the ad valorem taxes on the Eligible Property under this
Article and Articles V and VI of this Agreement. The Abatement is effective with the
January 1 valuation date immediately following the date of execution of this Agreement.
The Abatement continues for up to two (2) years during the period of the Construction
Phase and for the next six (6)) full tax years after the Construction Phase, expiring as of
December 31 of the 2018 tax year. If the period of the Construction Phase exceeds two
(2) years, the Facility is considered completed for purposes of Abatement, and in no
case may the period of Abatement, inclusive of construction and completion exceed
eight (8) tax years. The years of Abatement provided in this Agreement in each
instance coincide with the tax year commencing on January 1 and expiring on
December 31, and in no event may the Abatement extend beyond December 31 of the
2020 tax year. This Abatement also covers as Eligible Property those supplemental
improvements to the Eligible Property that are added or constructed during the post -
construction two (2) year period of Abatement. In no event, however, may the total
Abatement period for the Eligible Property exceed the maximum eight (8) year
Abatement period for the entire project as specified in this Agreement.
B. The term of this Agreement continues for a period of five (5) years following
expiration of the abatement period. All terms and conditions imposed upon the Owner
continue in effect during the period, and the Owner is obligated specifically to continue
the minimum employment levels specified in this Agreement. Any default is subject to
the provisions of Article VIII of this Agreement.
V. TAXABILITY
During the period that the Abatement is effective, taxes are payable as follows:
1. The value of the land comprising the Property is fully taxable.
2. The Base Year Value of existing Improvements comprising the Property is
fully taxable.
3. The value of Ineligible Property is fully taxable.
Page 4of16
Corpus RP 2 Tax Abatement Agreement 10052011.docx
4. The Added Value of Eligible Property is abated under Article VI of this
Agreement.
VI. AMOUNT OF ABATEMENT
A. The Abatement provided by this Agreement is based upon a Service Facility for
each created one (1) new permanent full-time or full-time equivalent job per $50,000 of
Added Value to the Property following the completion of construction and maintaining
the same level of employment for the term of this abatement Agreement. The
percentage of tax abated is under the following schedule:
Percentage of Abatement
Year 1* 100%
Year 2* 100%
Year 3 100%
Year 4 100%
Year 5 100%
Year 6 75%
Year 7 50%
Year 8 25%
* Construction period
B. In order to be counted as a permanent job under this Agreement, the job must be a
full-time or full-time equivalent ("FTE") position with regular work schedules averaging at
least 32 hours per week. The term "FTE" shall mean One Thousand Six Hundred and
Sixty Four (1,664) hours of work over a twelve (12) month period, at an average of at
least thirty two (32) hours of work per week, including allowance for vacation and sick
leave, with full company benefits consistent with company policy, and employed
exclusively and on-site at the Facility in the City of Corpus Christi, Texas.
C. For compliance purposes, the determination date is January 1 of each year
commencing with January 1 of the year following one full calendar year after the date of
completion of construction ("Employment Level Abatement Period"). The percentage of
abatement provided each year under this Agreement during the Employment Level
Abatement Period is based upon the employment information as of January 1 of each
year during the Employment Level Abatement Period. As a result, the actual amount of
abatement may vary from year to year based upon employment levels for abatement
periods applicable to the Employment Level Abatement Period and property valuations
applicable to all abatement periods.

Corpus RP 2 Tax Abatement Agreement 10052011.docx
[Note: If this project is designated as a "rehabilitation project" under the Guidelines and
Criteria which involves the adaptive reuse of an existing structure or building for a
Facility, the project must involve a minimum capital expenditure of $250,000. The
rehabilitation project must involve the adaptive reuse of an existing structure or building
currently on the property tax rolls so that the Base Year Value associated with the
project includes both the value of the land and the existing improvements. The Owner
and Owner's landlord specifically disclaim any abatement for improvements to the
building, and the covenants and obligations of this Agreement may not be binding upon
Owner's landlord. The sole Eligible Property subject to abatement is the value of
personal property such as furniture and movable equipment installed by Owner, which
would otherwise be considered Ineligible Property for any other type of abatement
category. In no event, however, may the total value of the personal property subject to
abatement exceed $1 million.]
D. At the time of execution of this Agreement, the Owner reasonably estimates and
represents to the City that the Added Value comprising permanent Improvements upon
completion of the Construction Phase is:
$3,500,000.00 ("Estimated Added Value"), of which $3,500,000.00 is eligible for
tax abatement.
E. In the event that upon completion of the Construction Phase, the Added Value of
permanent Improvements, as determined by the Appraisal District, is at any time during
the period of Abatement less than eight -five percent (85%) of the Estimated Added
Value, not due to circumstances beyond the control of Owner, the Owner agrees to pay,
as additional taxes under this Agreement, an amount equal to the then current tax rate
of the City applied to the difference between the Added Value and eighty-five percent
(85%) of the Estimated Added Value, multiplied by 100% minus the net percentage of
Abatement provided under this Agreement. For the purposes of this provision, the term
"circumstances beyond the control of Owner" includes casualty losses, national
economic factors, shutdowns due to governmental regulations, strikes, acts of war; and
the like.
F. The formula for calculating the additional tax is outlined as follows:
(Tax Rate] x [(85% of Est. Added Value - Actual AV) x (100% - Abatement %)] =
Additional Tax.
VII. CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS
A. The contemplated improvements are set forth in the Project Description attached as
Exhibit "A." During the Construction Phase, the Owner may make the change orders to
the project that are reasonably necessary, provided that no change order may be made
that will change the qualification of the project as a "Facility" under the Guidelines and
Criteria for Granting Tax Abatement approved by the City. All improvements must be
completed under all applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. During the term
of this Agreement, use of the Property is limited to operation of the Facility described in
Page 6 of 16
Corpus RP 2 Tax Abatement Agreement 10052011.docx
the Project Description consistent with the general purpose of encouraging development
or redevelopment of the zone during the period of this Agreement.
B. Owner represents and warrants that this project will add at least one (1) additional
permanent or full-time or FTE operating or contract employee per $50,000 of Added
Value to the property as of January 1 of the first calendar year during the Employment
Level Abatement Period and will maintain the same level of employment for the term of
this abatement Agreement. Also, Owner represents and warrants the project is not
expected to solely or primarily have the effect of transferring employment from one part
of Nueces County to another.
VIII. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND RECAPTURE
A. Failure to Commence Operation During Term of Agreement. In the event that the
Facility is not completed and does not operate with the minimum number of 70
permanent or FTE jobs as of the first January 1 of the Employment Level Abatement
Period , no abatement is given for that tax year, and the full amount of taxes assessed
against the property is due and payable for that tax year. In the event that the Owner
fails to operate with the minimum number of 70 permanent jobs by the second January
1 of the Employment Level Abatement Period, then this Abatement Agreement
terminates and all abated taxes during the Construction Period are recaptured and must
be paid within 60 days of the termination.
B. Discontinuance of Operations During Term of Abatement. In the event the Facility is
completed and operates with the required minimum number of permanent or FTE jobs
as required under this Agreement, but subsequently discontinues operations or the
minimum number of permanent or FTE jobs is not maintained on any January 1 during
the term of the Agreement following the Construction Period, for any reason except on a
temporary basis due to fire, explosion, or other casualty, accident, or natural disaster,
the Agreement may be terminated by the City, and all taxes previously abated by virtue
of this Agreement are recaptured and must be paid within 60 days of the termination.
C. Delinquent Taxes. In the event that the Owner allows its ad valorem taxes to
become delinquent or fails to timely and properly follow the legal procedures for their
protest or contest (if protested), this Agreement terminates and the abatement of the
taxes for the calendar year of the delinquency also terminates. The total taxes
assessed without abatement for the calendar year of the tax delinquency must be paid
within sixty (60) days from the date of termination. Penalty and interest do not begin to
accrue on the additional amount of taxes due as the result of recapture under this
provision until the first day of the month following the sixty (60) day notice, at which time
penalty and interest accrues under the laws of the State of Texas. Penalty and interest
on the amount of taxes originally levied based upon the Abatement begin to accrue as
of the date the taxes were due under the laws of the State of Texas.
D. Notice of Default. Should the City determine that the Owner is in default under the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City must notify the Owner that if the default
is not cured within sixty (60) days from the date of the notice ("Cure Period"), then this
Page 7 of 16
Corpus RP 2 Tax Abatement Agreement 10052011.docx
Agreement may be terminated. In the event the Owner fails to cure the default during
the Cure Period, this Agreement may be terminated and the taxes abated by virtue of
the Agreement will be recaptured and must be paid as provided in this Agreement.
E. Actual Added Value. Should the Nueces County Appraisal District determine that
the total level of Added Value during any year of the term of this Agreement after
completion of the Construction Period is lower than the Estimated Added Value, the
percentage of Abatement will be based upon the actual Added Value (subject to sub-
paragraphs VI.D. and E. above). For each year during which an Abatement has been
granted, the difference between the tax abated and the tax that should have been
abated based upon the actual Added Value as determined by the City must paid within
60 days of notification to the Owner of the determination. Penalty and interest does not
begin to accrue upon the sum until the first day of the month following the sixty (60) day
notice, at which time penalty and interest accrues under the laws of the State of Texas.
F. Reduction in Rollback Tax Rate.
1. If during any year of the period of Abatement any portion of the abated value
is added to the current total value of the City, but is not treated as "new property
value" (as defined in Section 26.012 (17) of the Texas Tax Code) for the purpose
of establishing the "effective maintenance rate" in calculating the "rollback tax
rate" under Section 26.04 (c) (2) of the Texas Tax Code and if the City's budget
calculations indicate that a tax rate in excess of the "rollback tax rate" is required
to fund the operations of the City for the succeeding year, then the City
recaptures from the Owner a tax in an amount equal to the lesser of the
following:
(a) The amount of the taxes abated for that year by the City with respect to
the Property.
(b) The amount obtained by subtracting the rollback tax rate computed
without the abated property value being treated as new property value
from the rollback tax rate computed with the abated property value being
treated as new property value and multiplying the difference by the total
assessed value of the City.
2. If the City has granted an abatement of taxes to more than one taxpayer, then
the amount of the recapture calculated under subparagraph (b) above is prorated
on the basis of the value of the abatement with respect to each taxpayer.
3. This event does not constitute a "default" under this Agreement, and the sixty
(60) day Cure Period provided above does not apply. The recaptured taxes must
be paid within thirty (30) days after notice of the rollback in tax rate has been
given to the Owner. Penalty and interest do not begin to accrue upon the sum
until the first day of the month following the thirty (30) day notice, at which time
penalty and interest accrue under the laws of the State of Texas.
Page 8 of 16
Corpus RP 2 Tax Abatement Agreement 10052011.docx
G. Continuation of Tax Lien.
1. The amount of tax abated each year under the terms of this Agreement is
secured by a first and prior tax lien, which continues in existence from year to
year until the time this Agreement between the City and Owner is fully performed
by Owner, or until all taxes, whether assessed or recaptured, are paid in full.
H. City Council Reserves Right to Terminate of Modify Agreement. In the event of any
default by Owner, the City Council reserves the right to terminate or modify this
Agreement.
1. Owner's right to appeal.
1. Owner must be afforded written notice of the default and the opportunity to
cure as provided above.
2. If Owner believes the action was improper, Owner may file an appeal in
Nueces County district court within sixty (60) days after written notice of the
action by the City.
3. Owner shall remit to the City, within the 60 -day period, any additional or
recaptured taxes levied under the payment provisions of Texas Tax Code §
42.08.
4. If the final determination of the appeal increases Owner's tax liability above
the amount paid, Owner shall remit the additional tax under Tax Code § 42.42.
5. if the final determination of the appeal decreases Owner's tax liability, the City
will refund the Owner the difference between the amount of tax paid and the
amount of tax for which Owner is liable under Tax Code § 42.43.

have access to the Property during the term of this Agreement to inspect the Facility to
determine compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All inspections

in the manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the construction or operation of the
Facility. All inspections must be made with one or more representatives of the Owner
and under Owner's safety standards.

Agreement.
(b) The full taxable value without Abatement of the real and personal
property comprising the Property.
2. The Chief Appraiser records both the abated taxable value and the full taxable
value in the appraisal records.
3. The full taxable value figure listed in the appraisal records is used to compute
the amount of abated taxes that are required to be recaptured and paid in the
event this Agreement is terminated in a manner that results in recapture.

outlined in Chapter 22, Texas Tax Code, as amended, as may be necessary for
