2 in accordance with the purposes for its creation and are in compliance with Ordinance No. G-

WHEREAS, the Improvements as defined below constitute a major investment within

within the City and County; and
WHEREAS, the City finds that there will be no substantial adverse affect on the
provision of city services or on its tax base and the planned use of the Premises will not
constitute a hazard to public safety, health, or welfare, Now Therefore, the parties hereto do
mutually agree as follows:
1. The property to be the subject of this Agreement shall be that property described
by metes and bounds and map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof and shall be
hereinafter referred to as "Premises ".
2. The Owner shall promptly commence construction of its facility, described in
Exhibit "B" on the Premises (hereinafter referred to as "Improvements ") with total construction
cost of approximately Three Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars and no /100's
($3,800,000.00) and to be substantially complete on or about March 31, 1996; provided, that
Owner shall have such additional time to complete the Improvements as may be required in the
event of "force majeure" if Owner is diligently and faithfully pursuing completion of the
Improvements. For this purpose, "force majeure" shall mean any contingency or cause beyond
the reasonable control of Owner including, without limitation, acts of God or the public enemy,
war, riot, civil commotion, insurrection, governmental or de facto governmental action (unless
caused by acts or omissions of Owner), fires, explosions or floods, and strikes. The date of
completion of the Improvements shall be defined as the date a Certificate of Occupancy is issued
by the City of Round Rock.
3. The Owner agrees and covenants that it will diligently and faithfully in a good
and workmanlike manner pursue the completion of the Improvements as a good and valuable
consideration of this Agreement. Owner further covenants and agrees that all construction of the
Improvements will be in accordance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations or
2.
valid waiver thereof. In further consideration, Owner shall thereafter, from the date a Certificate
of Occupancy is issued until the expiration of this Agreement, continuously operate and maintain
the Premises as the CINTAS Corporation.
4. The Owner agrees and covenants that the Improvements shall provide
employment according to the following accumulative schedule:
By December 31, 1997: 75 jobs
By December 31, 1998: 85 jobs
By December 31, 1999: 95 jobs
The Owner shall provide to the City and County annual manpower reports, attached
hereto as Exhibit "E" and made a part hereof, within sixty (60) days following the end of each
calendar year.
Regardless of anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure by Owner to provide
the number of jobs set out in the above schedule shall not be considered an event of default as
defined in paragraph 6 below unless the number of jobs actually provided is less than seventy -
five percent (75 %) of number set out in the schedule. If the actual number of jobs provided at the
end of any year is less than the scheduled number but is seventy-five percent (75 %) or more, then
the percentage of tax abatement for the following year as provided in paragraph 11 below shall
be reduced. The percentage of tax abatement shall be reduced by the same percentage that the
actual number of jobs are less than the scheduled number of jobs. By way of illustration, the
schedule requires 75 jobs by December 31, 1997, but if only 68 jobs are provided, then the tax
abatement for 1997 shall be reduced from 90% to 80% (i.e. 69 / 75 = 90% of required jobs, thus
90% less 10 %). Similarly, the schedule requires 95 jobs by December 31,1999, but if only 76
jobs are provided, then the tax abatement for 1999 shall be reduced from 30% to 10% (i.e. 76 / 95 =
80% of required jobs, thus 30% less 20 %).
By way of clarification, failure to provide at least seventy-five percent (75 %) of the
number of jobs shown on the above schedule shall be considered an event of default of this
Agreement.
3.
5. The Owner agrees and covenants that the Premises shall contain taxable personal
Property and equipment with an assessed value of not less than that shown on the following
cumulative schedule:
Upon completion: $1.500,000.00
Dec. 31 1997 $1.500,000.00
Dec. 31 1998 $1.570.000.00
Dec. 31 1999 $1,640,000.00
Owner shall provide to the City and County a statement of the value of taxable personal
property and equipment within sixty (60) days following completion of the facility. The City
and/or County shall have the option of conducting an appraisal by an appraiser acceptable to City
and/or County to verify the value of said property and equipment. If the value determined is one
hundred and five percent (105 %) or more of the value certified by the Owner, then the Owner
shall bear the cost of the appraisal; otherwise the cost shall be born by the City or County
requesting such appraisal. The taxable value shall be determined on a uniform and equal basis
of assessment by the methods used by the Williamson County Tax Appraisal District.
6. In the event that (1) the Improvements for which an abatement has been granted
are not completed in accordance with this Agreement or (2) Owner allows its ad valorem taxes
owed the City or County to become delinquent and fails to timely and properly follow the legal
procedures for protest and/or contest of any such ad valorem taxes; or (3) Owner breaches any of
the terms or conditions of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be in default. In the event
that the Owner defaults in its performance of (1), (2), or (3) above, then the City or County shall
give the Owner written notice of such default and if the Owner has not cured such default within
thirty (30) days of said written notice, or, if such default cannot be cured by the payment of
money and cannot with due diligence be cured within a 90 -day period owing to causes beyond
the control of the Owner, this Agreement may be terminated by the City or County. Notice shall
be in writing and shall be delivered by personal delivery or certified mail to:

enforcement action, provide to the Owner written notice of such violation. For the purposes of
this Agreement, the Owner shall have ten (10) days from the date of the notice to cure or remedy
such violation. If the Owner fails or refuses to cure or remedy the violation within the ten (10)
day period, the Owner is subject to the forfeiture, at the discretion of the City and/or County, of

ad valorem or personal property taxes; or (3) Owner breaches any of the
terms or conditions of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be in
default. In the event that the Owner defaults in its performance of (1), (2),
or (3) above, then the City or County shall give the Owner written notice
of such default and if Owner has not cured such default within thirty (30)
days of said written notice, or, if such default cannot be cured by the
payment of money and cannot with due diligence be cured within a 90 -day
period owing to causes beyond the control of the Owner, this Agreement
may be terminated by the City or County by written notice to Owner. Such
notice shall be in writing and shall be delivered by personal delivery or

County and shall be due, owing and paid to the City and County within
