for Phase II, of which Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) were
expended with Fort Worth Companies, as verified in and determined by the
Certificate of Completion issued for Phase II, Company will have caused to be
expended twenty-five percent (25%) of Hard Construction Costs with Fort Worth
Companies ($750,000/$3,000,000, or .25) If Company completes Phase III next,
and Company caused to be expended Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00) in
Hard Construction Costs for Phase III, of which Fifteen Million Dollars
($15,000,000.00) were expended with Fort Worth Companies, as verified in and
determined by the Certificate of Completion issued for Phase III, the extent to
which the Fort Worth Construction Commitment has been met shall be
recalculated. In this case, Company will have caused to be expended over thirty-
six percent (36%) of Hard Construction Costs with Fort Worth Companies
([$750 000 for Phase II + $15,000,000 for Phase III]/[$3,000,000 for Phase II +
$40,000,000 for Phase III], or $15,750,000/$43,000,000, or .366).
4.5. Construction Spending Commitment for Fort Worth Certified
M/WBE Companies.
Between December 13 2011 and the Completion Date of a given Phase

Certified M/WBE Companies at least twenty-five percent (25%) of all Hard
Construction Costs for that Phase and any other Phase of the Project (other than
Phase I) for which a Certificate of Completion has been issued as of the
submission date of the Notice of Completion for the Phase in question, regardless
of the total amount of such aggregate Hard Construction Costs (the "M/WBE
Construction Commitment' ). The extent to which the M/WBE Construction
Commitment has been met shall be determined by dividing the aggregate Hard
Construction Costs caused to be expended with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE
Companies for all Phases of the Project (other than Phase I) for which a
Certificate of Completion has been issued by the aggregate Hard Construction
Costs caused to be expended overall for all Phases of the Project (other than Phase
I) for which a Certificate of Completion has been issued. The initial calculation
shall be made on the basis of the expenditures made for the first Phase (other than
Phase I) for which a Certificate of Completion has been issued in accordance with
this Agreement, and shall then be recalculated each time a Certificate of
Completion has been issued for a subsequent Phase. Dollars spent with Fort
Worth Certified M/WBE Companies shall also count as dollars spent with Fort
Worth Companies for purposes of measuring the Fort Worth Construction
Commitment outlined in Section 4.4.

For example, if Company completes Phase II first, and Company caused
to be expended Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in Hard Construction Costs
for Phase II, of which Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) were
expended with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE Companies, as verified in and
determined by the Certificate of Completion issued for Phase II, Company will
have caused to be expended sixteen percent (16%) of Hard Construction Costs
with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE Companies ($500,000/$3,000,000, or .16). If
Company completes Phase III next, and Company caused to be expended Forty

Page 18
Economic Development Program Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc.
Costs caused to be expended for that Phase between December 13, 2011 and the
Completion Date of that Phase; the aggregate Hard Construction Costs caused to
be expended for that Phase specifically with Fort Worth Companies and Fort
Worth Certified M/WBE Companies between December 13, 2011 and the
Completion Date of that Phase; and the aggregate cost of New Taxable Tangible
Personal Property installed on the Land by the Completion Deadline of that Phase
(the "Certificate of Completion' ). The Certificate of Completion will serve as
the basis for determining whether Company has met the requirements of Sections
4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and the extent to which Company has met the Fort Worth
Construction Commitment and the M/WBE Construction Commitment.
5.2. Program Grants.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company will be
entitled to receive from the City nineteen (19) annual Program Grants. The
amount of each Program Grant shall equal a percentage of the Program Source
Funds, which percentage shall be calculated by multiplying the apphcable
Maximum Program Percentage available for that Program Grant, as deteumined
pursuant to the definition of ` Maximum Program Percentage" set forth in Section
2, by the sum of the Base Grant Percentage, Fort Worth Construction Percentage,
the M/WBE Construction Percentage, the Overall Employment Percentage, the
Fort Worth Employment Percentage, the Central City Employment Percentage,
the Fort Worth Supply and Service Percentage, and the M/WBE Supply and
Service Percentage, as defined in Sections 5.2 1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3, 5.2.4, 5.2.5, 5.2.6,
5.2.7, and 5.2.8, respectively, as follows:
5.2.1. Completion of Phases (37.5% of Applicable Maximum
Program Percentage).
Each Program Grant payable pursuant to this Agreement shall
automatically include a base percentage equal to thirty-seven and one-half
percent (37.5%) (the "Base Grant Percentage") on account of
Company's completion of Phase I of the Project pursuant to and in
accordance with the Tax Abatement Agreement. If Company does not
complete Phase II, Phase III and/or Phase IV in accordance with this
Agreement, the Maximum Program Percentage will be reduced in
accordance with Section 2, but the Base Grant Percentage will remain at
thirty-seven and one-half percent (37.5%).
5.2.2. Fort Worth Construction Cost Spending (Up to 12.5% of
Applicable Maximum Program Percentage).
Each Program Grant payable pursuant to this Agreement shall
include a percentage that is based on the extent to which the Fort Worth
Construction Commitment, as outlined in Section 4 4, has been met as of
February 1 of the year in which a Program Grant is payable under this
Page 19
Economic Development Program Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc
Agreement (the "Fort Worth Construction Percentage"). The Fort
Worth Construction Percentage will be calculated upon completion of a
Phase (whether Phase II, Phase III or Phase IV) and recalculated each time
another such Phase is completed, in each case as evidenced by the
Certificate of Completion issued in accordance with Section 5.1 for the
respective Phase. The Fort Worth Construction Percentage shall equal the
product of twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) multiplied by the
percentage by which the Fort Worth Construction Commitment has been
met, which will be calculated in accordance with Section 4.4. If the Fort
Worth Construction Commitment has been met or exceeded, the Fort
Worth Construction Percentage will be twelve and one-half percent
(12.5%).
For example, tracking the examples provided in Section 4.4, if
Company completes Phase II first and, following completion of Phase II
Company had caused to be expended with Fort Worth Companies twenty-
five percent (25%) of Hard Construction Costs for Phase II between the
December 13, 2011 and the Phase II Completion Date, the Fort Worth
Construction Percentage would be 10.4% instead of 12.5% (or 12.5% x
[25%/30%], or .125 x .833, or .104) for the next Program Year and all
subsequent Program Years until completion of another Phase (at which
time the Fort Worth Construction Percentage would be recalculated). If
Company completes Phase III next, and following completion of Phase III
Company had caused to be expended with Fort Worth Companies thirty-
six percent (36%) of Hard Construction Costs for Phase II and Phase III,
combined, between December 13, 2011 and the Phase III Completion
Date, the Fort Worth Construction Percentage would change from 10.4%
to 12.5% because, at such point, the Fort Worth Construction
Commitment will have been met or exceeded.
5.2.3. Fort Worth M/WBE Construction Cost Spending (Up to
6.25% of Applicable Maximum Program Percentage).
Each Program Grant payable pursuant to this Agreement shall
include a percentage that is based on the extent to which the M/WBE
Construction Commitment, as outlined in Section 4.5, has been met as of
February 1 of the year in which a Program Grant is payable under this
Agreement (the "M/WBE Construction Percentage"). The M/WBE
Construction Percentage will be calculated upon completion of a Phase
(whether Phase II, Phase III or Phase IV) and recalculated each time
another such Phase is completed, in each case as evidenced by the
Certificate of Completion issued in accordance with Section 5.1 for the
respective Phase. The M/WBE Construction Percentage shall equal the
product of six and one -quarter percent (6.25%) multiplied by the
percentage by which the M/WBE Construction Commitment has been
met, which will be calculated in accordance with Section 4.5. If the
Page 20
Economic Development Program Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc.
M/WBE Construction Commitment has been met or exceeded, the
M/WBE Construction Percentage will be six and one -quarter percent
(6.25%).
For example, tracking the examples provided in Section 4.5, if
Company completes Phase II first and, following completion of Phase II
Company had caused to be expended with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE
Companies sixteen percent (16%) of Hard Construction Costs for Phase II
between December 13, 2011 and the Phase II Completion Date, the
M/WBE Construction Percentage would be 4% instead of 6.25% (or
6.25% x [16%/25%], or .0625 x 64, or .04) for the next Program Year and
all subsequent Program Years until completion of another Phase (at which
time the M/WBE Construction Percentage would be recalculated). If
Company completes Phase III next, and following completion of Phase III
Company had caused to be expended with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE
Companies twenty-nine percent (29%) of Hard Construction Costs for
Phase II and Phase III, combined, between December 13, 2011 and the
Phase III Completion Date, the M/WBE Construction Percentage would
change from 4% to 6 25% because, at such point, the M/WBE
Construction Commitment will have been met or exceeded.
5.2.4. Overall Employment (Un to 6.25% of Annlicable Maximum
Program Percentage).
Each Program Grant payable pursuant to this Agreement shall
include a percentage that is based on the extent to which the applicable
Overall Employment Commitment, as outlined in Section 4 6.1, was met
in the previous calendar year (the "Overall Employment Percentage")
The Overall Employment Percentage for each Program Grant shall equal
the product of six and one -quarter percent (6.25%) multiplied by the
percentage by which the Overall Employment Commitment was met in the
previous calendar year, which will be calculated by dividing the actual
number of Full-time Jobs provided on the Land in the previous calendar
year by the applicable number of Full-time Jobs constituting the Overall
Employment Commitment for the previous calendar year, as outlined in
Section 4.61. For example, Section 4.6.1 establishes the Overall
Employment Commitment for the 2015 calendar year at 4,500 Full-time
Jobs If only 4,000 Full-time Jobs were provided on the Land during the
2015 calendar year, the Overall Employment Percentage for the Program
Grant payable in the following Program Year would be 5.55% instead of
6.25% (or .0625 x [4,000/4,500]), or .0625 x .888, or .0555. If the Overall
Employment Commitment was met or exceeded in a given calendar year,
the Overall Employment Percentage for the Program Grant payable in the
following Program Year would be six and one -quarter percent (6.25%).
Page 21
Economic Development Program Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc.
5.2.5. Fort Worth Emnlovment (Un to 12.5% of Applicable
Maximum Program Percentage).
Each Program Grant payable pursuant to this Agreement shall
include a percentage that is based on the extent to which the Fort Worth
Employment Commitment, as outlined in Section 4.6.2, was met in the
previous calendar year (the "Fort Worth Employment Percentage")
The Fort Worth Employment Percentage for each Program Grant shall
equal the product of twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) multiplied by the
percentage by which the Fort Worth Employment Commitment was met in
the previous calendar year, which will be calculated by dividing the actual
number of Full-time Jobs on the Land that were filled with Fort Worth
Residents in the previous calendar year by the applicable number of Full-
time Jobs constituting the Fort Worth Employment Commitment for the
previous calendar year, as outlined in Section 4.6.2. For example, if the
Fort Worth Employment Commitment for the 2015 calendar year was nine
hundred (900) Full-time Jobs, and only six hundred seventy-five (675)
Full-time Jobs were filled with Fort Worth Residents in that year the Fort
Worth Employment Percentage for the Program Grant payable in the
following Program Year would be 9.37% instead of 12.5% (or .125 x
[675/900]), or .125 x .75, or .0937. If the Fort Worth Employment
Commitment was met or exceeded in a given calendar year, the Fort
Worth Employment Percentage for the Program Grant payable in the
following Program Year would be twelve and one-half percent (12.5%).
5.2.6. Central City Emnlovment (Un to 12.5% of Applicable
Maximum Program Percentage).
Each Program Grant payable pursuant to this Agreement shall
include a percentage that is based on the extent to which the Central City
Employment Commitment, as outlined in Section 4 6.3, was met in the
previous calendar year (the "Central City Employment Percentage").
The Central City Employment Percentage for each Program Grant shall
equal the product of twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) multiplied by the
percentage by which the Central City Employment Commitment was met
in the previous calendar year, which will be calculated by dividing the
actual number of Full-time Jobs on the Land that were filled with Central
City Residents in the previous calendar year by the applicable number of
Full-time Jobs constituting the Central City Employment Commitment for
the previous calendar year, as outlined in Section 4 6 3 If the Central City
Employment Commitment was met or exceeded in a given calendar year,
the Central City Employment Percentage for the Program Grant payable in
the following Program Year would be twelve and one-half percent
(12.5%).
Page 22
Economic Development Program Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc.
5.2.7. Fort Worth Sunnly and Service Spending (Up to 6.25% of
Applicable Maximum Program Percentage).
Each Program Grant payable pursuant to this Agreement shall
include a percentage that is based on the extent to which the Fort Worth
Supply and Service Spending Commitment, as outlined in Section 4 7 1,
was met in the previous calendar year (the "Fort Worth Supply and
Service Percentage"). The Fort Worth Supply and Service Percentage
for each Program Grant shall equal the product of six and one -quarter
percent (6.25%) multiplied by the percentage by which the Fort Worth
Supply and Service Spending Commitment was met in the previous
calendar year, which will be calculated by dividing the amount of Supply
and Service Expenditures made with Fort Worth Companies in the
previous calendar year by the One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), which
is the Fort Worth Supply and Service Spending Commitment for each
applicable year. For example, if Company made only Eight Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00) in Supply and Service Expenditures
during a given calendar year, the Fort Worth Supply and Service
Percentage for the Program Grant payable in the following Program Year
would be 5% instead of 6.25% (or .0625 x [$800,000/$1,000,000], or
.0625 x .80, or .05). If the Fort Worth Supply and Service Spending
Commitment was met or exceeded in a given calendar year, the Fort
Worth Supply and Service Percentage for the Program Grant payable in
the following Program Year would be six and one -quarter percent
(6.25%).
5.2.8. M/WBE Supply and Service Spending (Up to 6.25% of
Applicable Maximum Program Percentage).
Each Program Grant payable pursuant to this Agreement shall
include a percentage that is based on the extent to which the M/WBE
Supply and Service Spending Commitment, as outlined in Section 4.7.2,
was met in the previous calendar year (the "M/WBE Supply and Service
Percentage' ). The M/WBE Supply and Service Percentage for each
Program Grant shall equal the product of six and one -quarter percent
(6.25%) multiplied by the percentage by which the M/WBE Supply and
Service Spending Commitment was met in the previous calendar year,
which will be calculated by dividing the amount of Supply and Service
Expenditures made with Fort Worth Certified M/WBE Companies in the
previous calendar year by the Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000.00), which is the M/WBE Supply and Service Spending
Commitment for each applicable year. If the M/WBE Supply and Service
Spending Commitment was met or exceeded in a given calendar year, the
M/WBE Supply and Service Percentage for the Program Grant payable in
the following Program Year would be six and one -quarter percent
(6.25%).
Page 23
Economic Development Program Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc
5.2.9. No Offsets.
A deficiency in attainment of one commitment may not be offset
by exceeding attainment in another commitment. For example, if
Company failed to meet the M/WBE Construction Commitment by
$5,000.00, but exceeded the Fort Worth Construction Commitment by
$5,000.00, the M/WBE Construction Percentage would still be reduced in
accordance with Section 5.2.3 on account of Company's failure to meet
the M/WBE Construction Commitment
5.3. Deadline for Payments and Source of Funds.
The first Program Grant payable hereunder (in other words, the Program
Grant payable for Program Year 1) will be paid by the City on or before June 1,
2015, and each subsequent Program Grant payment will be paid on or before June

the City other than those dedicated for payment of a given annual Program Grant
pursuant to this Agreement may be used by the City for any lawful purpose that
the City deems necessary in the carrying out of its business as a home rule
municipality and will not serve as the basis for calculating any future Program
Grant payment or other obligation to Company.
5.4. Waiver of Certain City Fees.
Company and its Affiliates, and their contractors, will be required to apply
for and receive all permits and other licenses and certificates required by the City
with respect to all Phases of the Project. However, as further consideration for the
public purposes that will be achieved from and on account of the Project and the
expansion of Company s operations on the Land, unless otherwise prohibited by
applicable law, ordinance rule or regulation, the City agrees to waive the
following fees directly related to each Phase of the Project that would otherwise
be charged by the City at any time between the Tax Abatement Agreement's

jurisdiction that Company or an Affiliate, or any successor in interest thereto; any
third party with access to the Land pursuant to the express or implied permission
of Company or an Affiliate, or any successor in interest thereto* or the City (on
account of the Project or the act or omission of any party other than the City on or
after the Effective Date of this Agreement) is declared to be in violation of any
material state or federal law, rule or regulation on account of the Land,
improvements on the Land or any operations thereon (including, without

the occurrence of such default, the City shall notify Company in writing, and
Company shall have (i) thirty (30) calendar days to cure such default or (ii) if

reasonably curable within thirty (30) calendar days, then such amount of time that
the City reasonably agrees is necessary to cure such default If the default has not
been fully cured by such time, the City shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement immediately by providing written notice to Company and shall have
all other rights and remedies that may be available it to under the law or in equity.
6.5. Knowing Emnlovment of Undocumented Workers.
Company acknowledges that 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
Company hereby certifies that Company, and any branches, divisions, or
departments of Company, 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 Company, or any branch, division, or
department of Company, is convicted of a violation under 8 U.S.C. Section
1324a() (relating to federal criminal penalties and injunctions for a pattern or
practice of employing unauthorized aliens), subject to any appellate rights that
may lawfully be available to and exercised by Company, Company shall repay,
within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days following receipt of written
demand from the City, the aggregate amount of Program Grants received by
Company hereunder, if any, 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 aggregate amount of
Program Grants paid pursuant to this Agreement. This rate of interest can be
applied each year, but will only apply to the amount of Program Grants received
hereunder and is not applied to interest calculated. For example, if the aggregate
amount of Program Grants received by Company hereunder is $10,000 and it is
required to be paid back with four percent (4%) interest five years later, the total
Page 26
Economic Development Program Agreement
between City of Fort Worth and Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc.
amount would be $10,000 + [5 x ($10,000 x 0 04)], which is $12,000. This Section
6.5 does not apply to convictions of any Affiliate of Company, any franchisees of
Company, or any person or entity with whom Company contracts. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, this Section 6.5 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
6.6. Failure to Meet Construction Cost Spending, Employment. or Simply
and Service Spending Commitments.
A failure to meet the Fort Worth Construction Commitment, the M/WBE
Construction Commitment, the Overall Employment Commitment, the Fort
Worth Employment Commitment Central City Employment Commitment, the
Fort Worth Supply and Service Spending Commitment, or the M/WBE Supply
and Service Spending Commitment shall not constitute a default hereunder or
provide the City with the right to terminate this Agreement, but, rather, shall only
cause the amount of a given Program Grant payable to Company pursuant to this
Agreement to be reduced in accordance with this Agreement.
6.7. General Breach.
Unless stated elsewhere in this Agreement, Company shall be in default
under this Agreement if Company breaches any term or condition of this
Agreement. In the event that such breach remains uncured after thirty (30)
calendar days following receipt of written notice from the City referencing this
Agreement (or, if Company has diligently and continuously attempted to cure
following receipt of such written notice but reasonably requires more than thirty
(30) calendar days to cure, then such additional amount of time as is reasonably
necessary to effect cure, as determined by both parties mutually and in good
faith), the City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately by
providing written notice to Company.

as independent contractors in each and every respect hereunder and not as agents,
representatives or employees of the City. Company and its Affiliates shall have the
exclusive right to control all details and day-to-day operations relative to the Land and

CONSENT HEARING:
Authorize Execution of One Year Tax Abatement and a Nineteen Year Chapter 380
Economic Development Program Agreement with Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc., for the
Expansion and Consolidation of the Main Headquarters Operations and Associated
Facilities Including the Central Distribution Center in the Vicinity of Highway 10 and Trinity
Boulevard and the Waiver of Certain Related Development Fees (COUNCIL DISTRICT 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the execution of a one-year Tax Abatement Agreement and a 19-year Economic
Development Program Agreement with Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc., for the expansion and
consolidation of the main headquarters operations in the vicinity of the intersection of Highway 10 and
Trinity Boulevard and
2. Approve the waiver of certain related development fees.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council has by separate action adopted an ordinance designating Tax Abatement
Reinvestment Zone No. 78 (the Zone), which encompasses property in the vicinity of Highway 10 and
Trinity Boulevard in the City including the headquarters property of Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc
(Company). The Housing and Economic Development Department is proposing a one-year Tax
Abatement Agreement and a 19-year Economic Development Program Agreement (EDPA) with
Company that would abate or grant an amount equal to a maximum of 80 percent (or 85 percent in
any year that Company has more than 5,000 employees at the site) of all the City's taxes on the
incremental value of the real and personal property for a total period of 20 years, conditioned on
Company's expansion and consolidation of its main headquarters operations and associated facilities
in the Zone.
Proiect:
Company plans to expend or cause to be expended $75 million in real property improvements and
$160 million in non -inventory personal property improvements by December 31, 2015 for the
construction, expansion and renovation of improvements at its headquarters site, which will include a
new administration building, employee center and training academy. These improvements will be
constructed in four phases
Phase I consists of the construction of a new employee center that must be completed by December
31, 2012 and have a minimum real property investment of $5 million and personal property
investment of $27 million If Company meets these commitments, it will receive a maximum 80
percent tax abatement for the 2013 tax year, calculated as specified below. The Tax Abatement
Agreement will then expire. Failure to meet the minimum investment required for Phase I is a
condition of default and will result in the immediate termination of both the Tax Abatement Agreement
and the EDPA.
P hase II consists of the construction of the relocation, consolidation and renovation for the facility
housing repair and overhaul activities, as well as the relocation of inventory to the central distribution
center. Phase II must be completed by December 31, 2014 and will have a minimum real property
investment of $5 million and personal property investment of $34 million. Failure to meet the
minimum additional new investment required for Phase II will result in the maximum annual program
grants under the EDPA being reduced to 65 percent for the remainder of the term.
P hase III consists of the construction of a new main headquarters and administration building and
associated infrastructure that will have a minimum real property investment of $50 million and a
personal property investment of $32 million. Phase III also must be completed by December 31,
2014. Failure to meet the minimum additional new investment required for Phase III will result in the
maximum program grants under the EDPA being reduced to a maximum of 50 percent for the
remainder of the term.
P hase IV consists of the construction of a new training academy at Norwood Drive and Trinity
Boulevard that will have a minimum real property investment of $15 million and a personal property
investment of $67 million. Phase IV must be completed by December 31, 2015. Failure to meet the
minimum additional new investment required for Phase IV will result in the program grant percentage
applicable in the previous year (whether 80 percent, 65 percent or 50 percent) being reduced by
another 5 percent for the remainder of the term of the EDPA.
In no event will any percentage of abatement or program grant in a given year exceed, in the
aggregate, a 10 to 1 ratio of private investment to public incentive under the Agreements. For
example, if Company makes the minimum investment contemplated for each Phase, its total private
investment will be $235 million, meaning that the combined abatements and program grants over the
course of the 20-year program could not exceed $23.5 million in the aggregate. However, for
purposes of calculating this ratio annually for the first 10 years of the term, the City will count
additional private investment made by Company after completion of the phases described above,
provided that in order for capital costs to be included, Company must expend at least 30 percent of
such additional hard construction costs with Fort Worth companies and at least 25 percent of such
additional hard construction costs with Fort Worth certified M/WBE companies. In other words, based
on the example above, if in the seventh year of the term of the EDPA, Company also made an
additional capital investment of $20 million in real property improvements (and at least 30 percent of
such hard construction costs were made with Fort Worth companies and at least 25 percent of such
hard construction costs were made with Fort Worth certified M/WBE companies) and Company made
an additional $5 million personal property investment, Company would receive credit for having made
an aggregate private investment of $260 million, and the cap on the incentives at that point would be
increased from $23.5 million to $26 million.
Utilization of Fort Worth Companies and Fort Worth M/WBE Businesses (Real Property
Improvements):
Company will be required to spend a minimum of 30 percent of all hard construction costs of real
property improvements with contractors that are Fort Worth companies and a minimum of 25 percent
of all hard construction costs of real property improvements with contractors that are Fort Worth
certified Minority/Women Business Enterprise companies (with the understanding that dollars spent
with Fort Worth certified M/WBE companies will also count as dollars spent with Fort Worth
companies).
Employment Commitments:
As a part of the expansion and consolidation, Company will employ a minimum of 4 500 Full Time
Employees (FTEs) at the site, including retained and relocated staff, by December 31, 2014 and
continuing through December 31, 2020. After this period, the employment commitments will be as
follows:
a. A minimum of 4,100 FTEs by December 31, 2022;
b. A minimum of 3,900 FTEs by December 31, 2028 and for the remainder of the
Agreement.
Company will be required to fill a minimum of 20 percent of the total FTE's with Fort Worth residents
and a minimum of 5 percent of the total FTE's with Central City residents during all years of the
Agreement.
If Company has more than 5,000 FTEs in any given year of the Agreement, the applicable
percentage of abatement or grant described above (i.e. 80 percent, 65 percent, 50 percent, or 45
percent) shall be increased by 5 percent for the abatement or grant available in the following year.
Utilization of Fort Worth Companies and Fort Worth M/WBE Businesses (Supply & Services):
Company has committed to spend a minimum of $1,000,000.00 of annual discretionary service and
supply expenditures with Fort Worth companies and a minimum of $500,000.00 of annual
discretionary service and supply expenditures with Fort Worth M/WBE certified M/WBE companies.
These commitments apply to each year of the program.
Discretionary service and supply contracts shall include all expenditures, whether under written
contract or ad hoc purchases, other than for electric, gas and water utilities related to the operation
and maintenance of the project, including amounts paid to eligible companies or contractors for
personnel.
Except for cases of default, failure to meet a goal will result in a reduction of the corresponding
component of the grant for that year proportional to the amount the goal was not met, or for the
duration of the Agreement in the case of construction goals.
City Commitments:
In accordance with the limits specified above, the City will provide for annual grant payments up to a
maximum 80 percent (or 85 percent if Company has more than 5,000 full-time jobs on the site in any
given year) of all of the new ad valorem taxes collected from Company above the existing net base
value of $2,183 040 (current taxes), defined as the Annual Base Grant, which amount is contingent
on both meeting the overall investment criteria and thereafter having met and/or meeting all additional
criteria of the Agreement. The grant payments will be allocated as shown in the following chart.

If a reduction in the grant is required due to the required investment on one or more of the additional
phases not being realized the total grant payment will be reduced proportionally in each of the
categories so that the total maximum abatement meets the lower maximum as outlined in the
agreement commitments.
Fee Waivers:
The City will waive the following fees related to the project that would otherwise be charged by the
City at any time prior to December 31 2015 (i) all building permit, plan review, inspection, and re -
inspection fees; (ii) all zoning fees; (iii) all temporary encroachment fees; (iv) all platting fees; and (v)
all fire, sprinkler, and alarm permit fees. All other fees charged or assessed by the City in accordance
with applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, including, but not
limited to, transportation impact fees and water and sewer impact fees, are not waived and shall be
fully payable.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on
City funds.
