OFFICIAL RECORD CITY SECRETARY Page 1 FT. WORTH,TX NEZ Tax Abatement Agreement—Patricia Rodriguez and Angelica Marie Flores 717 Atlanta Street M&C 20-0014 AUUroved:February 18.2020 NOW, THEREFORE, the City and Owner, for and in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth herein, do hereby contract, covenant and agree as follows: 1. OWNER'S COVENANTS. 1.1. Real Property Improvements. Owner shall construct, or cause to be constructed, on and within the Premises certain improvements consisting of a single-family residence, of approximately 2,100 square feet in size and built to the specifications listed in Exhibit "3", (collectively the "Required Improvements"). Owner shall provide a survey of the home upon completion of the Required Improvements. The parties agree that the final survey shall be a part of this Agreement and shall be labeled Exhibit "4". Minor variations and more substantial variations if approved in writing by both parties to this Agreement before construction is undertaken in the Required Improvements from the description provided in the Application for Tax Abatement shall not constitute an Event of Default, as defined in Section 4.1, provided that the conditions in the first sentence of this Section 1.1 are met and the Required Improvements are used for the purposes and in the manner described in Section 1.3. 1.2. Completion Date of Required Improvements. Owner certifies that the Required Improvements will be completed within two years from the date of Council approval. The abatement will automatically terminate two years after Council approval if a building permit has not been pulled and a foundation has not been poured, unless delayed because of force majeure, in which case the two years shall be extended by the number of days comprising the specific force majeure. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall mean an event beyond Owner's reasonable control as determined by the City of Fort Worth in its sole discretion, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, including,without limitation, delays caused by adverse weather,delays in receipt of any required permits or approvals from any governmental authority, acts of God, or fires. Force majeure shall not include construction delays caused due to purely financial matters, such as, without limitation, delays in the obtaining of adequate financing. 1.3. Use of Premises. Owner covenants that the Required Improvements shall be constructed and continuously used as the primary residence of the Home Owner in accordance with the NEZ Incentives. In addition,Owner covenants that throughout the Term,the Required Improvements shall be maintained for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. 2. ABATEMENT AMOUNTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Subject to and in accordance with this Agreement, the City hereby grants to Owner a real property tax abatement of City of Fort Worth-imposed taxes on the Premises for the Required Improvements, as specifically provided in this Section 2 ("Abatement"). Abatement does not include taxes from other taxing entities. Page 2 NEZ Tax Abatement Agreement—Patricia Rodriguez and Angelica Marie Flores 717 Atlanta Street M&C 20-0014 Approved: February 18.2020 2.1. Amount of Abatement. The actual amount of the Abatement granted under this Agreement shall be based upon the increase in value of the Premises due to the Required Improvements, over its value as determined by Tarrant Appraisal District in January 2020, and this amount is $0.00. If the square footage requirement of the Required Improvements are less than as provided in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, Owner shall not be eligible to receive any Abatement under this Agreement. 2.2 Increase in Value. The Abatement shall be 100% of the increase in value from the construction of the Required Improvements up to a maximum of$203,964.00 and shall apply only to taxes on the increase in value of the Premises due to construction of the Required Improvements. In other words, by way of example only, if the increase in value of the Required Improvements over its value in January 2019, in a given year is $205,000.00, Owner's Abatement for that tax year shall be capped and calculated as if the appraised value of the Required Improvements for that year had only been $203,964.00. The Abatement shall not apply to taxes on the land,nor shall the abatement apply to mineral interests. 2.3. Term of Abatement. The term of the Abatement ( "Term") shall begin on January 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the Required Improvement is completed ('Beginning Date") and, unless sooner terminated as herein provided, shall end on December 31 immediately preceding the fifth (51h) anniversary of the Beginning Date. 2.4 Protests Over Appraisals or Assessments. Owner shall have the right to protest and contest any or all appraisals or assessments of the Premises and/or improvements thereon. 2.5. Abatement Application Fee. The City acknowledges receipt from Owner of the required Application fee of$100.00. The application fee shall not be credited or refunded to Owner or its assigns for any reason. 3. RECORDS,AUDITS AND EVALUATION OF REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS. 3.1. Inspection of Premises. Between the execution date of this Agreement and the last day of the Term, at any time during normal office hours throughout the Term and the year following the Term and following reasonable notice to Owner, the City shall have and Owner shall provide access to the Premises in order for the City to inspect the Premises and evaluate the Required Improvements to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Owner shall cooperate fully with the City during any such inspection and/or evaluation. Page 3 NEZ Tax Abatement Agreement—Patricia Rodriguez and Angelica Marie Flores 717 Atlanta Street M&C 20-0014 Annroved: February 18.2020 3.2. Certification. Owner shall certify annually to the City that it is in compliance with cach applicable term of this Agreement. The City shall have the right to audit at the City's expense the Required Improvement with respects to the specifications listed in Exhibit "Y'. Owner must provide documentation that Owner is using the Required Improvements as its primary residence (collectively, the "Records") at any time during the Compliance Auditing Term in order to determine compliance with this Agreement. Owner shall make all applicable Records available to the City on the Premises or at another location in the City following reasonable advance notice by the City and shall otherwise cooperate fully with the City during any audit. 3.3 Provision of Information. On or before March 1 following the end of every year during the Compliance Auditing Term and at any other time if requested by the City, Owner shall provide information and documentation for the previous year that addresses Owner's compliance with each of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for that calendar year. Failure to provide all information within the control of Owner required by this Section 3.3 shall constitute an Event of Default, as defined in Section 4.1. 3.4 Determination of Compliance. On or before August 1 of each year during the Compliance Auditing Term,the City shall make a decision and rule on the actual annual percentage of Abatement available to Owner for the following year of the Term and shall notify Owner of such decision and ruling. The actual percentage of the Abatement granted for a given year of the Term is therefore based upon Owner's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the previous year of the Compliance Auditing Term. 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 PRIMARY RESIDENCE 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 determines 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 Page 4 NEZ Tax Abatement Agreement—Patricia Rodriguez and Angelica Marie Flores 717 Atlanta Street M&C 20-0014 ADDroved:February 18.2020 the City Council in an open meeting of Owner's efforts and intent to cure, Owner shall 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 Damages. 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 therefrom are speculative in nature and will be difficult 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 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 termination 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 determined 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 format 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 Package 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.

Upon execution of the Agreement,the total assessed value of the improvements used for calculating municipal property tax will be frozen for a period of five years starting January 2021 at the estimated pre-improvement value as defined by the Tarrant Appraisal District(TAD)in May 2019 for the property as follows: Pre-Improvement TAD Value of Improvements $0.00 Pre-Improvement Estimated Value of Land $20,000.00 Total Pre-Improvement Estimated Value $20,000.00 The municipal property tax on the improved value of the Project after construction is estimated in the amount of$1,146.22 per year for a total amount of$5,731.10 over the five-year period.However,this estimate may differ from the actual tax abatement value,which will be calculated based on the Tarrant Appraisal District appraised value of the property. In the event of a sale of this property,the Tax Abatement Agreement may be assigned to a new owner's first mortgage or a new owner as a primary residence.All other assignments must be approved by the City Council. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8. A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
