the Loan Documents any property intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby including

6.3 No Waiver: Any failure by Lender to insist, or any election by Lender not to
insist, upon Borrower's strict performance of any of the teams, provisions or conditions of the
Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other tern, provision or

6.4 Modification• This Agreement may not be amended, waived, discharged or

6.5 Applicable Law and Savings Clause: This Agreement has been executed under,
and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, except as
such laws are preempted by United States federal law. This Agreement and all of the Loan
Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by,
all Applicable Laws and Legal Requirements. If any provision hereof or of any of the other
Construction Loan Agreement
FWS Realty, Ltd.
18
Loan Documents or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason
and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable neither the application of such provision to any
other person or circumstance nor the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is
contained shall be affected thereby, but rather, shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted
by law. It is the express intent of Borrower and Lender to at all times comply with the usury and
other applicable laws now or hereafter governing the interest payable on the Note or the Loan
evidenced thereby. If the applicable law is ever revised, repealed or judicially interpreted so as
to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the Loan Documents, or
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Loan evidenced by the
Note, or if Lender's exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note, or if any
prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted
by law, then it is the express mtent of Borrower and Lender that all excess amounts theretofore
collected by Lender be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, if the Note and all of
such other indebtedness have been paid in full refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the
Note and the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectable hereunder and thereunder reduced without the necessity of the execution of any new
document, so as to comply with the then applicable law but so as to permit the recovery of the
fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid, or agreed to be paid,
by the Borrower for the use, forbearance , detention, taking, charging, receiving or reserving on
the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender under the Note or the loan evidenced thereby shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout
the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on
account of such indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Loan evidenced by the Note for so long as debt is outstanding under the Loan.
To the extent that Lender is relying on Texas law to determine the maximum rate ("Maximum
Rate") payable on the Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the indicated rate ceiling from time to
time in effect as provided in the Texas Finance Code Chapter 303. To the extent United States
federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge or receive a greater amount of interest, Lender
will rely on United States federal law instead of such article, for the purpose of determining the
Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now in effect, Lender
may, at its option and from time to time, implement any other method of computing the
Maximum Rate under such article, as amended, or under other applicable law by giving notice, if
required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. In no event shall
the provisions of Texas Finance Code Chapter 346 (which regulates certain revolving credit loan
accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender
to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or
to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
6.6 Rights, Remedies and Recourses Cumulative: All rights, remedies and recourses
afforded Lender in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity, including
specifically those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in Texas, (a) shall be
deemed cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently
against Borrower, at the sole discretion of Lender, (c) may be exercised as often as the occasion
therefor shall arise, it being understood by Borrower that the exercise, failure to exercise or
election not to exercise any of the same shall in no event be construed as a waiver of same or of
Construction Loan Agreement

any other right, remedy or recourse available to Lender, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be,
non-exclusive.
6.7 Binding Effect: This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower
may not assign, transfer or in any way hypothecate its interest in the Loan Documents or the
Property (or any portion thereof) without Lender's prior written consent.
6.8 Notices: All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered as
properly given if mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified
with return receipt requested, or by delivering same in person to the intended addressee or by
prepaid telegram. Notice so mailed shall be effective upon three (3) business days after its

notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or
recourse Lender may have because of same, may make such payment or perform such act for the
account of and at the expense of Borrower and shall have the right to enter the Land and
Improvements for such purpose and to take all action with respect to the Property as it may deem
desirable If Lender shall elect to pay any statement, invoice or tax bill, Lender may do so in
reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental
Authority or company without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in
making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents,
Lender shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title,
lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or
removing the same. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for all losses, expenses, damage, claims
and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any
acts performed by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.11 or by reason of any
other provision in the Loan Documents. All sums paid by Lender pursuant to this Section 6.11,
and all sums expended by Lender to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with
interest thereon at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date of such payment or
expenditure, shall constitute advances on and additions to the Loan, shall be secured by the Loan
Documents and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

U.S. $600,000.00 alt44401 , 2012 (the "Date")
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower promises to pay to the order of the CITY OF FORT WORTH, a home
rule municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas ("Lender") on or before the tenth
anniversary of the Initial Payment Date (as defined below) (the "Maturity Date"), at its address of 4201 North
Main Street, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas 76106-2749, or at such other location as Lender may designate, in
immediately available funds, Six Hundred Thousand and no/100 UNITED STATES DOLLARS (U.S.
$600,000.00) (the "Maximum Amount of Note") or the aggregate unpaid amount of all advances hereunder,
whichever is less. Borrower will also pay interest on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to
time at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate on 10-year United States Treasury Notes in effect on the date
hereof plus one percent (1%) (the "Stated Rate"). Each advance must be at least TEN THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS (U.S.$10,000.00) unless the amount available for borrowing under this Note is less.
This Note shall be payable in accordance with the attached Exhibit "A", "Loan and Payment Schedule"
including 1 20 equal monthly installments of Three Thousand Three Hundred Fifteen and 5 8/ 100 Dollars
($3,315.58) principal and interest, amortized over twenty years, beginning on the first day of the month
following the Occupancy Date (as such term is defined in that certain Fort Worth Spinks Airport Ground Lease
Agreement with Mandatory Improvements (Lease Site NW-3) dated of even date herewith by and between
Borrower and Lender (the "Ground Lease") (the "Initial Payment Date"), and continuing on the first day of
each month thereafter until the tenth anniversary of the Occupancy Date when the remaining balance will be
recalculated with the interest rate reset at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate on 10-year United States
Treasury Notes in effect on the tenth anniversary date plus one percent (1%) and a new "Loan and Payment
Schedule" will be created for the remaining 120 equal monthly installments of principal and interest, amortized
over ten years until the twentieth anniversary of the Occupancy Date (the "Maturity Date"), when all unpaid
principal and accrued and unpaid interest is finally due and payable.
Interest on this Note is computed on a 3 65/3 66 day year.
All past -due principal and interest on this Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 18%.
In addition to all principal and accrued interest on this Note, Borrower agrees to pay: (a) all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Lender in collecting this Note through reorganization, bankruptcy or any other
proceeding; and (b) reasonable attorneys' fees if and when this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for
collection.
Borrower and Lender intend to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Therefore, the total amount of
interest (as defined under applicable law) contracted for, charged or collected under this Note will never exceed
the highest lawful rate. If Lender contracts for, charges or receives any excess interest, it will be deemed a
mistake. Lender will automatically reform the contract or charge to conform to applicable law, and if excess
interest has been received, Lender will either refund the excess to Borrower or credit the excess on the unpaid
principal amount of this Note. All amounts constituting interest will be spread throughout the full term of this
Note in determining whether interest exceeds lawful amounts.

amounts owed Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the Loan Documents, Borrower may use
all or any part of the credit provided for herein at any time before the maturity of this Note and may borrow and
repay but not reborrow. There is no limitation on the number of advances made so long as the total amount
advanced does not exceed the Maximum Amount of this Note.

payments may, at Bank's sole option, be applied to accrued interest, to principal, or to both.

To aid in the development of the mandatory improvements and as an economic incentive to stimulate and
encourage business development on Lease Site NW-3, FWS Realty, Ltd., has been offered and has

Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the City Council pursuant to Ordinance No. 19044-02-2010 and in
accordance with Resolution No. 3716-03-2009, 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 to businesses and entities that the City 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.
By the terms identified in the Advance Promissory Note, the interest rate will be the current 10 year U.S.
Treasury Bill rate plus 1 percent and will reset every 10 years. The loan will be repaid using an
amortization schedule of 20 years with payments of principal and interest made in equal monthly amounts.
The loan repayment schedule will begin on the first day of the month following the Occupancy Date.
Construction of the 14,000 square foot hangar shall begin within six months following the later of (a)
receipt of written Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airspace Study approval on the design of same,
(b) receipt of the City of Fort Worth Aviation Department s approval of plans as set forth in the lease and

certificate of occupancy is issued.
The initial term for Lease Site NW-3 and the ROFR shall commence on the date of its execution and
expire on September 1, 2041, with two five-year options to renew. At a ground rate of $0.27 per square
foot per year Lease Site NW-3 will generate estimated revenue of $4,752.00 per year or $396.00 per
month. At a rate of $0.01 per square foot per year, the ROFR will generate estimated revenue of $313.27
per year or $26.11 per month.
Rental rates shall be subject to an increase on October 1 of any given year to reflect the upward
percentage change, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for the period since the last adjustment as
described in the Schedule of Rates and Charges in effect at the time. All Agreement terms will be in
accordance with established City and Aviation Department policies.
By adoption of M&C G-16923 and Resolution No. 3882-05-2010, the City Council approved Andrew J.
