C: \uPn.s\c TY \A BATF N\W_o\TT, .WPOis s

not constitute a hazard to public safety, health, or welfare, NOW
THEREFORE, the parties hereto do mutually agree as follows:
1. Property subject to Agreement. The property to be the
subject of this Agreement shall be that property included within
Reinvestment Zone No. 12 which is more fully described in Exhibit "A"
which is made a part hereof and shall be hereinafter referred to as
the "Premises."
2. Construction of Improvements. The Owner shall promptly
commence construction of its facility as described in Exhibit "B" on
the Premises (said facility hereinafter referred to as
"Improvements ".) The total construction cost of the Improvements is
approximately One Million Six Hundred Thousand and no /100 Dollars
($1,600,000.00), which Improvements are to be substantially complete
on or about December 31, 1995; 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.
3. Completion of Improvements. 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 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 a manufacturing facility.
4. Provision of jobs. The Owner agrees and covenants that it
will provide and /or retain at least the number of jobs on the
Premises from the completion date of the Improvements throughout the
term of this Agreement according to the following schedule:
Date Retain New Total
On December 31, 1995 109 0 109
On December 31, 1996 109 15 124
On December 31, 1997 124 10 134
On December 31, 1998 134 10 144
2
The Owner shall provide to the City and County annual manpower
reports in the form 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 10 below unless the number of jobs actually provided is
less than seventy -five percent (75 %) of the 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 7 below shall be reduced. The
percentage of tax abatement shall be reduced by the same percentage
that the actual number of jobs bears to the scheduled number of jobs.
By way of illustration, if on December 31, 1996 Owner has provided
ten percent (10 %) fewer jobs than is required, then its abatement
shall be reduced by ten percentage points (i.e. the 75% abatement
shall be reduced ten percentage points to a 65% abatement.) Failure
of the Owner to provide at least seventy -five percent (75 %) of the
number of jobs required by this Agreement shall be considered an
event of default.
6. Application for tax abatement. The Owner agrees and
covenants that the attached application for tax abatement (Exhibit
"C ") is a part of this Agreement, and Owner further warrants that the
information provided in that application is true and correct. If any
materially false or misleading information is provided in said
application, City or County shall have the discretion to declare this
Agreement to be in default and City and /or County shall be entitled
to the remedies provided for in paragraph 10.
7. Portion of taxes abated. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and subject to the rights of the
holders of any outstanding bonds of the City and County, a portion
of ad valorem real property taxes from the Premises otherwise owed
to the City and County shall be abated. City and County hereby
acknowledge that they are not aware of any terms or conditions of any
outstanding bonds which would invalidate this Agreement. Said
abatement shall be an amount equal to the below- stated percentages
assessed upon the increased value of the Premises and Improvements
over the value in the year in which this Agreement is executed, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable state
and local regulations. The percentage of abatements are as follows:
Tax Year 1996
Tax Year 1997
Tax Year 1998
3
75% abatement
50% abatement
25% abatement
These abatements shall be for three (3) tax years beginning
January 1, 1996.
8. Right of inspection. The Owner further agrees that the City
and County, their agents and employees shall have the right to enter
upon the Premises at any reasonable time to inspect the Improvements
in order to determine whether the construction of the Improvements
is in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable Federal,
state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations or valid waiver
thereof. After completion of the Improvements, the City and County
shall have the continuing right to enter upon and inspect the
Premises at any reasonable time to determine whether the Premises are
thereafter maintained and operated in accordance with this Agreement
and all applicable Federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and
regulations. If the City or County determine that a violation of a
Federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation exists on the
Premises, the City or County may, in addition to any other authorized
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 any right
to any tax abatement for a portion of the period or the entire period
covered by this Agreement. In addition, the failure or refusal to
cure or remedy the aforesaid violation shall be considered a default
of this Agreement under paragraph 10.
9. Additional assessed value of the Premises. The Owner agrees
and covenants that upon completion of the Improvements, the Premises
shall contain additional assessed value of not less than
$1,600,000.00.
Owner shall provide to the City and County a statement of the
value of taxable real property, personal property and equipment
within sixty (60) days following completion of the Improvements. 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 (1050) or more of the value certified by the
Owner, then the Owner shall bear the cost of the appraisal; otherwise
the cost shall be borne 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.
10. Events of default. 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
4
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, this Agreement may be terminated by the City or County by
written notice to Owner. Such notice shall be in writing and shall
