For this purpose, "force majeure" shall mean any contingency or cause beyond the reasonable control of Third Coast 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 Third Coast), 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. Third Coast 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 consideration of this Agreement. Third Coast 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, Third Coast shall thereafter, from the date a Certificate of Occupancy is issued until the expiration of this Agreement, continuously operate and maintain the Premises as Third Coast, 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. Third Coast agrees and covenants that the Improvements shall provide approximately 38-43 jobs during the period of the abatement, beginning with 30 employees in 1998. Accordingly, Third Coast shall provide to the City annual manpower reports (Exhibit "E") 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 valorera 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 Property and Improvements, annually for a period of three (3) years beginning January 1, 1998, and ending December 31, 2000, and at a rate of fifty percent (50%) annually for a period of two (2) years beginning 2 January 1, 2001, and ending December 31, 2002, 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 Third Coast to the chief appraiser of said district. Estimated values, estimated abated values, and estimated base year values for the Improvements are listed in Exhibit "C" ("Estimated Values"). 6. Third Coast 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.

In accordance with Resolution No. R96-12, 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 Third Coast written notice of such violation. For the purposes of this Agreement, Third Coast shall have ten (10) days from the date of the notice to cure or remedy such violation. If Third Coast fails or refuses to cure or remedy the violation within the ten (10) day period, Third Coast 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. Third Coast agrees and covenants that the information provided in the attached Application for Tax Abatement (Exhibit "D") 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) Third Coast allows its ad valorera 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 valorera taxes; or (3) Third Coast breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be in default. In the event that Third Coast defaults in its performance of (1), (2), 'or (3) above, then the City shall give Third Coast written notice of such default, which notice shall be delivered by personal delivery or certified mail to: Larry Rysavy, Partner, Third Coast Packaging, Inc., P. O. Box 367, Friendswood, Texas 77549-0367. If Third Coast 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 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 3 12.205, 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. R96-12. 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 Third Coast only upon written permission by the City in accordance with Resolution R96-12, 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 Third Coast, in performing its obligations hereunder, is acting independently, and the City assumes no responsibilities or liabilities in connection therewith to third parties. 14. THIRD COAST 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, RIGHTS, CAUSES OF ACTION, OR JUDGMENTS OF WHAT- SOEVER CHARACTER OR NATURE, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES, WHICH MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
