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.

jobs additional and retain one hundred fourteen (114) permanent or full-time operating or
contract employees and will maintain the same level of employment for the term of the
Abatement Period. The percentage of tax abated is under the following schedule:
Page 3 of 13
Percentage of Abatement
Construction Period 100%
(not to exceed 2 years)
Year I (January 1- December 31, 2018 tax 1000/0
year)
Year 2 (January 1- December 31, 2019 tax 100%

year)
Year 5 (January 1- December 31, 2022 tax 50%
year)
Year 6 (January 1-December 31, 2023 tax 250/0
year)
B. In order to be counted as a permanent job under this Agreement, the job must be a full-time
position providing regular work schedules at least 35 hours per-week. For compliance
purposes, the determination date is January 1 of each year commencing with the January 1
following the date of completion of construction. The percentage of abatement provided each
year under this Agreement is based upon the employment information as of January 1 of the
year. As a result, the actual amount of abatement may vary from year to year based upon
employment levels and property valuations.
C. At the time of execution of this Agreement, the Owner states to the City that the minimum
investment comprising permanent Improvements upon completion of the Construction Phase is:
$29,000,000 ("Minimum Investment"), of which $16,000,000 is eligible for tax abatement.
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 the Project Description consistent with the
general purpose of encouraging development or redevelopment of the zone during the period of
this Agreement.
Page 4 of 13
B. Owner represents and warrants that this project will add forty (40) new jobs and retain one
hundred fourteen (114) permanent or full-time operating or contract employees, and Owner will
maintain the same level of employment or higher from Year 1 thru Year 6 of the Abatement
Period.
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 begin operation with the minimum number of one hundred fourteen
(114) permanent jobs by the January 1, 2018, 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.
B. Discontinuance of Operations During Abatement Period. In the event the Facility is
completed and begins operation with the required minimum number of permanent jobs, but
subsequently discontinues operations or the minimum number of permanent jobs is not
maintained on any January 1 during the years within the Abatement Period after the completion
of construction, 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 abated for the calendar year(s) in which the default occurred by virtue of this Agreement
are recaptured and must 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,
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 that calendar year
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. Subject to Section VIIIB, should the City determine that the Owner is in
default under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, 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
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 for
the calendar year in which the default was not cured by the expiration of the Cure Period will be
recaptured and must be paid as provided in this Agreement.
E. Actual Investment. Should the Company not reach the Minimum Investment as stated in
Section 6. C., the difference between the tax abated on the Minimum Investment and the tax
that should have been abated based upon the actual investment as determined by the City must
be paid within 60 days of notification to the Owner of the determination. Penalty and interest do
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 accrue under the laws of the State of Texas.
F. Reduction in Rollback Tax Rate.
1. If during any year of the Abatement Period 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
Page 5 of 13
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.
G. Continuation of Tax Lien.
1. The amount of tax abated each year during the Abatement Period is secured by a
first and prior tax lien, which continue in existence from year to year until the time as this
Agreement between the City and Owner is fully performed by Owner, or until any and all
taxes, whether assessed or recaptured, are paid in full in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
•
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.
I. 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.
Page 6 of 13
