The City and Developer hereby agree that the following statements are true and
correct and constitute the basis upon which the City and Developer have entered into this
Agreement:
A. On or about September 7, 1979 the City entered into that certain Urban
Development Action Grant Agreement with the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development UDAG Grant No. B-79-AA-48-0013 for use in acquiring land
and constructing a parking garage located under General Worth Park in downtown Fort
Worth (City Secretary Contract No. 10610) (the "UDAG Grant Agreement"), as more
specifically set forth in the UDAG Grant Agreement. The City has leased such parking
garage pursuant to and in accordance with that certain Lease Agreement (Parking Garage
Lease) dated on or about May 22, 1980 by and between the City and Hunt Hotel/Fort
Worth, Ltd. (City Secretary Contract No. 11085, as amended and assigned). Rental
revenues from such lease are deemed "Grant Revenues" under the UDAG Grant
Agreement (the "UDAG Grant Fund Proceeds"). The UDAG Grant Agreement allows
the City to use the UDAG Grant Fund Proceeds for community or economic development
activities eligible for assistance under Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, Pub. L. No. 93 -3 83, as amended (the "Act").

minimum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) to (i) remove the existing underground
fuel tanks and complete environmental remediation of the Land in accordance with

electively chooses (collectively the "Improvements"). A rendering of the Improvements
is set forth in Exhibit `B", attached hereto and hereby made a part of this Agreement for
all purposes.
C. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the City Council on March 6,
2012 pursuant to Ordinance No. 20085-03-2012 (the "Comprehensive Plan"),
recommends that the City focus on revitalization of the Central City. The
Comprehensive Plan specifies that one of the principal means of revitalization of the
Central City will be the redevelopment of distressed commercial corridors, especially in
the vicinity of urban villages, which are highly urbanized places that have a concentration
of jobs, housing units, commercial uses, public spaces, public transportation and
pedestrian activity, and are typically located along priority commercial corridors. The
Land is located in the vicinity of the Evans and Rosedale Urban Village, which, in 2001,
the City Council selected as one of twelve areas where revitalization efforts were most
needed and where the use of public incentives could most sensibly be focused.
D. As recommended by the Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with
Resolution No 3716-03-2009, adopted by the City Council on March 10, 2009, the City
has established an economic development program pursuant to which the City will, on a
case -by -case basis, offer economic development incentives authorized by Chapter 380 of
the Texas Local Government Code that include monetary loans and grants of public
money, as well as the provision of personnel and services of the City, to business and
entities that the City Council determines will promote state or local economic
development and stimulate business and commercial activity in the City in return for
verifiable commitments from such businesses or entities to cause specific infrastructure,
employment and other public benefits to be made or invested in the City (the "380
Program").
E. The Improvements qualify as community or economic development
activities eligible for assistance under Title I of the Act. The City Council has found and
determined that the Improvements will benefit the City and constitute a positive step in
revitalization of the Central City and the Evans and Rosedale Urban Village, in
particular. The City Council has also found and determined that, by entering into this
Agreement, the potential economic benefits that will accrue to the City under the terms
and conditions of this Agreement are consistent with the City's economic development
objectives in the City as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. This Agreement is
authorized by Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code.
F. The City has determined that the feasibility of Developer's completing the
Improvements is contingent on Developer's receipt of the Program Grant pursuant to this
Agreement The City's analysis is specifically based on financial information provided
by Developer, which Developer warrants to be true and accurate.

Developer acknowledges that effective September 1, 2007, the City is
required to comply with Chapter 2264 of the Texas Government Code, enacted by
House Bill 1196 (80th Texas Legislature), which relates to restrictions on the use of
certain public subsidies. Developer hereby certifies that Developer, and any
branches, divisions, or departments of Developer, does not and will not knowingly
employ an undocumented worker, as that term is defined by Section 2264.001(4)
of the Texas Government Code. In the event that Developer, or any branch,
division, or department of Developer, is convicted of a violation undef 8 U.S.0
Section 13244) (relating to federal criminal penalties and injunctions for a
pattern or practice of employing unauthorized aliens):
• if such conviction occurs during the Term of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall terminate contemporaneously upon such conviction
(subject to any appellate rights that may lawfully be available to and
exercised by Developer); or
• if such conviction occurs after expiration or termination of this
Agreement, subject to any appellate rights that may lawfully be available
to and exercised by Developer, Developer shall repay, within one hundred
twenty (120) calendar days following receipt of written demand from the
City, the amount of the Program Grant plus Simple Interest at a rate of
four percent (4%) per annum.
For the purposes of this Section 6.5, "Simple Interest" is defined as a rate of
interest applied only to an original value, in this case the amount of the Program
Grant. This rate of interest can be applied each year, but will only apply to the
amount of the Program Grant and will not be applied to interest calculated. For
example, on a Program Grant of $175 000.00 that is required to be paid back with
four percent (4%) interest three years later, the total amount would be $175,000 +
[3 x ($175,000 x 0.04)), which is $21,000.00, for a total amount of $196,000.00.
Economic Development Program Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Spoon Industries, Inc.
This Section 6.5 does not apply to convictions of any subsidiary or affiliate entity of

control all details and day-to-day operations relative to the Land and the Improvements
and shall be solely responsible for the acts and omissions of its officers, agents, servants,
employees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees and invitees. Developer acknowledges
that the doctrine of respondeat superior will not apply as between the City and
Developer, its officers, agents, servants, employees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees
and invitees. Developer further agrees that nothing in this Agreement will be construed
as the creation of a partnership or joint enterprise between the City and Developer.

Market at the intersection of the Interstate 35 Frontage Road and Allen Avenue. The development
will include a Shell gas station and a Jumburrito restaurant which is the first of its kind in the
Metroplex The Developer will invest at least $2,000,000.00 into the project and has agreed to a goal
of creating 15 new full-time jobs following completion.
The site currently contains an abandoned gas station that requires environmental remediation due to
underground fuel tanks. In addition, a sanitary sewer line runs in an alley across the site. The new
development will consist of a state-of-the-art 4,936 square foot convenience store and a five bay self-
service gas station.
In return for the site redevelopment and job -creation goal by Developer for this project, City staff
proposes and recommends the following terms for an Economic Development Program Agreement
with Developer.
Developer Commitments:
Minimum investment of $2,000,000.00 to redevelopment the site;
Environmental remediation of the site, including demolition and removal of existing gasoline tanks;
Construct certain enhanced parkway improvements above City's base requirements; and
Make a good faith effort, as a goal, to provide a minimum of 15 full-time jobs, of which 50 percent
must be with Fort Worth Central City residents.
