DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Development Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
2—o , 2017 by and between SDC Real Estate, L.L.C. (the "Company")
and the City of Waterloo, Iowa (the "City").
RECITALS
A. City considers economic development within the City a benefit to the
community and is willing for the overall good and welfare of the community
to provide financial incentives so as to encourage that goal, and the City
further believes that the project is in the vital and best interests of the City
and that the project and such incentives are in accordance with the public
purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and
requirements under which the project has been undertaken and is being
assisted.
B. Company is willing and able to finance and construct buildings and related
improvements on property located in the Airport Area Development Plan
area, consisting of approximately 26 acres and legally described on
Exhibit "A" attached hereto (the "Property").
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale of Property; Title. Subject to the terms hereof, City shall convey the
Property to Company for the sum of$1.00 (the "Purchase Price"). Conveyance shall be
by quit claim deed, free and clear of all encumbrances arising by or through City except:
(a) easements, conditions and restrictions of record which do not, in Company's
opinion, interfere with Company's proposed use; (b) current and future real estate real
property taxes and assessments subject to the agreements made herein; (c) general
utility and right-of-way easements serving the Property; and (d) restrictions imposed by
the City zoning ordinances and other applicable law. City shall have no duty to convey
title to Company until Company delivers to City reasonable and satisfactory proof of
financial ability to undertake and carry on the Project (defined below), which may take
the form of a lending commitment letter. In any event, conveyance will not occur until
the Property has been platted. Company shall, at its own expense, prepare an updated
abstract of title, or in lieu thereof Company may, at its own expense, obtain whatever
form of title evidence it desires. If title is unmarketable or subject to matters not
acceptable to Company, and if City does not remedy or remove such objectionable
matters in timely fashion following written notice of such objections from Company,
Company may terminate this Agreement. City shall provide any title documents it has in
its possession, including any abstracts, to assist in title preparation.
2. Improvements by Company. Company shall make the Facility
Improvements and the Rail Improvements (collectively, the "Improvements") as set forth
in paragraphs A and B below. The Improvements shall be constructed in accordance
with all applicable City, state, and federal building codes and shall comply with all
applicable City ordinances and other applicable law. The Property, the Improvements,
and all site preparation and development-related work to make the Property usable for
Company's purposes as contemplated by this Agreement are collectively referred to as
the "Project".
A. Facility Improvements. Company shall construct on the Property a
warehouse transfer facility of approximately 50,000 square feet, and related
parking, landscaping, and other improvements to the buildings and grounds
(collectively, the "Facility Improvements").
B. Rail Improvements. Company shall construct a railroad spur (the
"Rail Improvements") onto the Property from a public railroad spur that City will
construct as set forth in Section 6.C. The parties anticipate that Company will
apply for funding from the State of Iowa to help defray expenses for this Project
component.
3. Timeliness of Construction; Possibility of Reverter. The parties agree
that Company's commitment to undertake the Project and to construct the
Improvements in a timely manner constitutes a material inducement for the City to
convey the Property, or to cause the Property to be conveyed, to Company and that
without said commitment City would not do so. Company must obtain a building permit
and begin construction as soon as weather and ground conditions allow in spring 2018,
but in any event by April 30, 2018 (the "Project Start Date") and substantially complete
construction by December 31, 2018 (the "Project Completion Date").
If Company has not, in good faith, begun the construction of the
Improvements by the Project Start Date, then title to the Property shall revert to the City,
except as provided in this Agreement; provided, however, that if construction has not
begun by the Project Start Date but the development of the Project is still imminent, the
City Council may, but shall not be required to, consent to an extension of time for the
construction of the Improvements, and if an extension is granted but construction of the
Improvements has not begun within such extended period, then the title to the Property
2
shall revert to the City after the end of said extended period. If Company determines at
any time that the Project is not economically feasible, then after giving thirty (30) days'
advance written notice to City, Company may convey the Property to City by special
warranty deed, and thereupon neither party shall have any further obligation under this
Agreement except as expressly provided. If development has commenced by the
Project Start Date or any extended period and is stopped and/or delayed as a result of
an act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute, fire, or other cause
beyond the reasonable control of Company, the requirement that construction is to be
completed by the Project Completion Date shall be tolled for a period of time equal to
the period of such stoppage or delay, and thereafter if construction is not completed
within the allowed period of extension the title to the Property shall revert to the City
after the end of said period.
4. Reverter of Title; Indemnity. In the event of any reverter of title,
Company agrees that it shall, at its own expense, promptly execute all documents,
including but not limited to a special warranty deed, or take such other actions as the
City may reasonably request to effectuate said reverter and to deliver to City title to the
Property that is free and clear of any lien, claim, charge, security interest, mortgage or
encumbrance (collectively, "Liens") arising by or through Company. Company shall pay
in full, so as to discharge or satisfy, all Liens on or against the Property. Appointment
of Attorney in Fact. If Company fails to deliver such documents, including but not
limited to a special warranty deed, to City within thirty (30) days of written demand by
City, then City shall be authorized to execute, on Company's behalf and as its attorney-
in-fact, the special warranty deed required by this Section, and for such limited purpose
Company does hereby constitute and appoint City as its attorney-in-fact.
Company further agrees that it shall indemnify City and hold it harmless
with respect to any demand, claim, cause of action, damage, or injury made, suffered,
or incurred as a result of or in connection with the Project, Company's failure to carry on
or complete same, or any Lien or Liens on or against the Property of any type or nature
whatsoever that attaches to the Property by virtue of Company's ownership of same. If
City files suit to enforce the terms of this Agreement and prevails in such suit, then
Company shall be liable for all legal expenses, including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by.City. Company's duties of indemnity pursuant to this
Section shall survive the expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement for
any reason.
5. No Encumbrances; Limited Exception. Until completion of the
Improvements, Company agrees that it shall not create, incur, or suffer to exist any
Liens on the Property, other than such mortgage or mortgages as may be reasonably
necessary to finance Company's completion of the Improvements and of which
Company notifies City before Company executes any such mortgage. Company may
not mortgage the Property or any part thereof for any purpose except in connection with
financing of the Improvements.
3
6. Additional City Assistance; Easements. In addition to the other
incentives provided by City to Company under this Agreement, City agrees to provide
the following assistance to facilitate the Project and its operation following completion:
A. Funding Support. City will provide support and reasonable
cooperation for Company's application to the State of Iowa for funds to construct
the Rail Improvements.
B. Platting; Easements. City will plat the Property, targeting
completion in December 2017. Said plat will include easements for (i) sanitary
sewer lines to service the Property and future development projects in the vicinity
and (ii) for northerly extension of the public rail spur to service such development
projects. City will consult with Company about location of easements.
C. Rail Spur. Within publicly owned property or right-of way, City will
construct, or cause to be constructed, a railroad spur to provide rail service to the
Property. Construction of the spur will begin in fall 2017 or spring 2018 as soon
as weather and ground conditions allow, but in any event no later than April 30,
2018.
D. Utilities Infrastructure. City and/or Waterloo Water Works will
construct a new water main in Leversee Road. City will construct a sanitary
sewer extension from the south. These improvements will be constructed on
substantially the same timeline as the railroad spur described in paragraph C
above. Company will be responsible to connect with the water main and sewer
main as provided in Section 7.
7. Utilities. Company will be responsible for extending water, sewer,
telephone, telecommunications, electricity, gas and other utility services from public
right of way or easement to any location on the Property and for payment of any
associated connection fees.
8. Option for Additional Land. Provided that Company completes the
Project as required by the terms of this Agreement, then Company shall have an option
to purchase the real property described on Exhibit "A-1" attached hereto (the "Option
Property") for the sum of$1.00, provided that Company shall enter into a minimum
assessment agreement with respect to an expansion project of no less than an
additional 100,000 square feet of finished building space. The option may be exercised
at any time on or before the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement by
delivery of written notice of exercise to City. Within ten (10) days following delivery of
the option notice, the parties shall execute a written purchase agreement in form
acceptable to City and providing for conveyance of the Option Property by quit claim
deed. Closing shall occur on a date to be agreed upon by the parties following delivery
of the option exercise notice, which date shall be within sixty (60) days of delivery of
said notice. Other terms and conditions of the closing shall be as specified in the
purchase agreement, but in any event shall include as a condition to closing City's
determination that Company's plans for additional Improvements satisfy the
4
requirements of this Section and would meet other development criteria substantially
similar to the Project criteria set forth in this Agreement.
9. Minimum Assessment Agreement. Company acknowledges and
agrees that it will pay when due all taxes and assessments, general or special, and all
other charges whatsoever levied upon or assessed or placed against the Property.
Company further agrees that prior to the date set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit "B" it will
not seek or cause a reduction in the taxable valuation for the Property, which shall be
fixed for assessment purposes, below the amount of$1,800,000 (the "Minimum Actual
Value"), through:
(i) willful destruction of the Property, the Improvements, or any part of
either;
(ii) a request to the assessor of Black Hawk County; or
(iii) any proceedings, whether administrative, legal, or equitable, with
any administrative body or court within the City, Black Hawk County, the State of
Iowa, or the federal government.
Company agrees to sign said attached Exhibit "B" at the closing.
10. Tax Rebates. Provided that Company has completed the Improvements
as set forth herein and has executed the Minimum Assessment Agreement as set forth
above, City agrees to rebate property tax (with the exceptions noted below) as follows:
Year One through Year Five 50% rebate each year
for any taxable value over the January 1, 2017 value of$130,000. Rebates are payable
in respect of a given year only to the extent that Company has actually paid general
property taxes due and owing for such year. To receive rebates for a given year,
Company must, within twelve (12) months after the tax payment due date, submit a
completed rebate request to City on the form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to
City, or the rebate shall be forfeited.
The taxable value of the Property as a result of the Improvements must be
increased by a minimum of 10% and must increase the annual tax by a minimum of
$500.00. This rebate program is not applicable to any special assessment levy, debt
service levy, or any other levy that is exempted from treatment as tax increment
financing under the provisions of applicable law.
The first year of in which a rebate may be given ("Year One") shall be the
first full year for which the assessment is based upon the completed value of the
Improvements, and not based on a prior year for which the assessment is based solely
upon (x) the value of the Property or upon (y) the value of the Property and a partial
value of the Improvements due to partial completion of the Improvements or a partial tax
year.
