4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
4.1. Defined.
Unless otherwise specified herein, Owner shall be in default of this Agreement if (i)
Owner fails to construct the Required Improvements as defined in Section 1.1.; (ii) ad valorem
real property taxes with respect to the Premises or the Required Improvements, or its ad valorem
taxes with respect to the tangible personal property located on the Premises, become delinquent
and Owner does not timely and properly follow the legal procedures for protest and/or contest
of any such ad valorem real property or tangible personal property taxes; (iii) OWNER DOES
NOT USE THE PREMISES AS RENTAL PROPERTY ONCE THE ABATEMENT
BEGINS; or (iv) OWNER DOES NOT COMPLY WITH CHAPTER 7 AND APPENDIX
B OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH (collectively,
each an "Event of Default").
4.2. Notice to Cure.
Subject to Section 5, if the City detei�rnines that an Event of Default has occurred, the
City shall provide a written notice to Owner that describes the nature of the Event of Default.
Owner shall have sixty (60) calendar days from the date of receipt of this written notice to
fully cure or have cured the Event of Default. If Owner reasonably believes that Owner will
require additional time to cure the Event of Default, Owner shall promptly notify the City in
writing, in which case (i) after advising the City Council in an open meeting of Owner's efforts
and intent to cure, Owner sha11 have ninety (90) calendar days from the original date of receipt
of the written notice, or (ii) if Owner reasonably believes that Owner will require more than
ninety (90) days to cure the Event of Default, after advising the City Council in an open
meeting of Owner's efforts and intent to cure, such additional time, if any, as may be offered
by the City Council in its sole discretion.
4.3. Termination for Event of Default and Payment of Liquidated Dama�es.
If an Event of Default which is defined in Section 4.1 has not been cured within the
time frame specifically allowed under Section 4.2, the City shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement immediately. Owner acknowledges and agrees that an uncured Event of
Default will (i) harm the City's economic development and redevelopment efforts on the
Premises and in the vicinity of the Premises; (ii) require unplanned and expensive additional
administrative oversight and involvement by the City; and (iii) otherwise harm the City, and
Owner agrees that the amounts of actual damages there from are speculative in nature and will
be difiicult or impossible to ascertain. Therefore, upon termination of this Agreement for any
Event of Default, Owner shall pay the City, as liquidated damages; all taxes that were abated
NEZ Tax Abatement with Rodolfo Preciado
Approved by M&C C-28087, January 24, 2017
Page 5 of 11
in accordance with this Agreement for each year when an Event of Default existed and which
otherwise would have been paid to the City in the absence of this Agreement. The City and
Owner agree that this amount is a reasonable approximation of actual damages that the City
will incur as a result of an uncured Event of Default and that this Section 4.3 is intended to
provide the City with compensation for actual damages and is not a penalty. This amount
may be recovered by the City through adjustments made to Owner's ad valorem property tax
appraisal by the appraisal district that has jurisdiction over the Premises. Otherwise, this
amount shall be due, owing and paid to the City within sixty (60) days following the effective
date of tezmination of this Agreement. In the event that all or any portion of this amount is
not paid to the City within sixty (60) days following the effective date of termination of this
Agreement, Owner shall also be liable for all penalties and interest on any outstanding amount
at the statutory rate for delinquent taxes, as detez�rnined by the Code at the time of the payment
of such penalties and interest (currently, Section 33.01 of the Code).
4.4. Termination at Will.
If the City and Owner mutually determine that the development or use of the Premises
or the anticipated Required Improvements are no longer appropriate or feasible, or that a higher
or better use is preferable, the City and Owner may terminate this Agreement in a written fol�rnat
that is signed by both parties. In this event, (i) if the Term has commenced, the Term shall
expire as of the effective date of the termination of this Agreement; (ii) there shall be no
recapture of any taxes previously abated; and (iii) neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder.
4.5 Sexually oriented business & Liquor Stores or Packa�e Stores.
a. Owner understands and agrees that the City has the right to terminate this
agreement if the Required Improvements contains or will contain a sexually oriented business.
b. Owner understands and agrees that the City has the right to terminate this
agreement as determined in City's sole discretion if the Required Improvements contains or
will contain a liquor store or package store.

Required Improvements as a primary residence or the homeowner's mortgagee which City Council
hereby agrees to, the Abatement granted hereunder shall vest only in Owner; however if Owner sells the
Premises and Required Improvements, this Abatement cannot be assigned to a new owner of all or any
portion of the Premises and/or Required Improvements without the prior consent of the City Council,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) the City Council finds that the
proposed assignee is financially capable of ineeting the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii)
the proposed purchaser agrees in writing to assume all terms and conditions of Owner under this
Agreement. Owner may not otherwise assign, lease or convey any of its rights under this Agreement.

termination of this Agreement and the Abatement granted hereunder following ten (10) calendar days of
receipt of written notice from the City to Owner.
