follows:
1. The property to be the subject of this Agreement shall be that property described by
metes and bounds and map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" ("Premises").
2. Construction of STP's improvements on the Premises, described in Exhibit "B"
("Improvements") will cost approximately Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) and is to be
substantially complete on or about October 31,2004;provided,that STP shall have such additional
time to complete the Improvements as may be required in the event of"force majeure" if STP is

shall mean any contingency or cause beyond the reasonable control of STP including, without
limitation,acts of God or the public enemy,war,riot,civil commotion,insurrection,governmental or
de facto governmental action (unless caused by acts or omissions of STP), fires, explosions or
floods, and strikes. The date of completion of the Improvements shall be defined as the date a
Certificate of Occupancy is issued by the City of Pearland.
3. STP agrees and covenants that it will diligently and faithfully, in a good and
workmanlike manner,pursue the completion of the Improvements as a good and valuable considera-
tion of this Agreement. STP further covenants and agrees that all construction of the Improvements
will be in accordance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations or valid waiver thereof.
In further consideration, STP shall thereafter, from the date a Certificate of Occupancy is issued
until the expiration of this Agreement, continuously operate and maintain the Premises as STP,
limiting the use of said Premises to that use which is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and
the general purpose of encouraging development or redevelopment of the Reinvestment Zone during
the period that the property tax exemptions evidenced herein are in effect.
4. STP agrees and covenants that the Improvements shall provide approximately 14 jobs
during the period of the abatement,beginning with 10 employees in 2004. Accordingly, STP shall
provide to the City annual manpower reports(Exhibit"D")within sixty(60)days following the end
of each calendar year.
5. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject to the rights and
holders of any outstanding bonds of the City,a portion of ad valorem property taxes assessed to the
Property and otherwise owed to the City shall be abated. City hereby acknowledges that it is not
aware of any terms or conditions of any outstanding bonds which would invalidate this Agreement.
Said abatement shall be an amount equal to seventy five percent(75%) of the taxes assessed upon
the increased value of the Improvements and Fixed Equipment,annually for a period of two(2)years
beginning January 1, 2004, and ending December 31, 2005, and fifty percent (50%) of the taxes

assessed upon the increased value of the Improvements and Fixed Equipment,annually for a period
of two(2)years beginning January 1,2006,and ending December 31,2007,and twenty five percent
(25%) of the taxes assessed upon the increased value of the Improvements and Fixed Equipment,
annually for a period of one(1)year beginning January 1,2008, and ending December 31,2008,in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable state and local regulations.
The taxable value shall be determined on a uniform and equal basis of assessment by the methods
used by the Brazoria County Tax Appraisal District,which information necessary for abatement shall
be provided by STP to the chief appraiser of said district. Estimated values,estimated abated values,
and estimated base year values for the Improvements are listed in Exhibit "B".
6. STP further agrees that the City,its agents and employees shall have the right to enter
upon the Premises at any reasonable time and to inspect the Improvements in order to determine
whether the construction of the Improvements is in accordance with this Agreement and all
applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations or valid waiver thereof. After
completion of the Improvements,the City shall have the continuing right to enter upon and inspect
the Premises at any reasonable time,after 24 hours'notice has been given,to determine whether the
Premises are thereafter maintained and operated in accordance with this Agreement and all
applicable federal,state, and local law,ordinances,and regulations. In accordance with Resolution
No. R2003-121, the City will conduct at least one inspection annually to ensure compliance.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,if the City determines that a violation of a
federal,state,or local law,ordinance or regulation exists on the Premises,the City may,in addition
to any other authorized enforcement action,provide to STP written notice of such violation. For the
purposes of this Agreement, STP shall have ten (10) days from the date of the notice to cure or
remedy such violation. If STP fails or refuses to cure or remedy the violation within the ten(10)day
- period,STP is subject to the forfeiture,at the discretion of the City,of any right to any tax abatement
for a portion of the period or the entire period covered by this Agreement.
7. STP agrees and covenants that the information provided in the attached Application
for Tax Abatement (Exhibit "C") is true and correct and that any materially false or misleading
information that is provided to the applicable taxing jurisdictions may be grounds for termination of
the agreement with possible liability for recovery of abated taxes.
8. In the event that(1)the Improvements for which an abatement has been granted are
not completed in accordance with this Agreement; or(2) STP allows its ad valorem taxes owed to
the applicable taxing jurisdictions to become delinquent and fails to timely and properly follow the
legal procedures for protest and/or contest of any such ad valorem taxes;or(3) STP breaches any of
the terms or conditions of this Agreement,then this Agreement shall be in default. In the event that
STP defaults in its performance of(1), (2),or(3)above,then the City shall give STP written notice
of such default, which notice shall be delivered by personal delivery or certified mail to:
. If STP has not cured such default within sixty(60)days of said
written notice, this Agreement may be modified or terminated by the City. Notwithstanding the
3
provisions set forth herein, this Agreement may be terminated at any time after the execution hereof
by agreement of both parties.
9. In the event that the facility is completed and begins producing product or service,but
subsequently discontinues producing product or service for any reason except fire,explosion or other
casualty or accident or natural disaster for a period of one year during the abatement period,then this
Agreement shall be in default and shall terminate. The abatement of taxes for the calendar year
during which the facility no longer produces shall also terminate.
10. As liquidated damages in the event of default and in accordance with
Section 312.205,Tax Code, V.A.T.S.,as amended,all taxes which otherwise would have been paid
to the City without the benefit of abatement (but without the addition of penalty; interest will be
charged at the statutory rate for delinquent taxes as determined by Section 33.01 of the Tax Code)
will become a debt to the City and shall be due, owing and paid to the City within sixty(60)days of
the expiration of the cure period stated in paragraph 8 or the termination date stated in paragraph 9,
whichever is applicable. The City shall have all remedies for the recapture and collection of the lost
tax revenue as provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of delinquent property taxes and
in accordance with Resolution No. R2003-121.
11. The City represents and warrants that the Premises does not include any property that
is owned by a member of its council or boards, agencies,commissions,or other governmental bodies
approving, or having responsibility for the approval of, this Agreement.
12. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon the successors and
assigns of all parties hereto. This Agreement may be transferred or assigned by STP only upon
written permission by the City in accordance with Resolution R2003-121,which permission shall not
be unreasonably withheld. No assignment shall be approved if the assignor or assignee are indebted
to the City for ad valorem taxes or other obligations.
13. It is understood and agreed between the parties that STP,in performing its obligations
hereunder, is acting independently, and the City assumes no responsibilities or liabilities in connec-
tion therewith to third parties.
14. STP RELEASES,ACQUITS,INDEMNIFIES,AND HOLDS HARMLESS THE
CITY, ITS OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS, FROM
ANY AND ALL KINDS OF CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, INJURIES,

Memo
To: Bill Eisen
From: Fred Welch
CC: Darin Coker/ EDC Board
Date: 8/11/2003
Re: Tax Abatement Application for South Texas Properties
Bill:
South Texas Properties has submitted an application for Tax Abatement from the City of Pearland for a
new facility to be constructed on Halik Road. Construction will consist of three buildings of
approximately 15,000 square feet each. The complex will house mainly warehouse and distribution
prospects. South Texas properties will relocate from their present facility in Houston and occupy
approximately 12,000 square feet in one building. Their fourteen employees will relocate with the
company. The remaining space will be available to lease to other prospective companies.
PEDC recommends this project for approval of the tax abatement. It meets the criteria for tax
abatement as a warehouse and distribution company. The investment of $3,000,000 is well above the
minimum $500,000 investment in our guidelines. The fourteen employees relocating exceeds our
minimum of ten new employees.
PEDC staff recommends a staggered or phased in abatement for five years as follows:
75% years 1-2
50% years 3-4
25% year 5
A tax analysis is attached showing the effect to the city if this schedule is followed. Also to be
considered is the effect of the $770,000 payroll on the city.
