Box 596,Waterloo, IA 50704 Phone(319)234-5701 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. 5 11.
