The parties acknowledge that Bexar Appraisal District may have not previously determined the appraised value for property tax purposes that would typically be used to calculate the amount of taxes otherwise assessed against the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property since the property is exempt from appraisal for ad valorem property taxes. Therefore, it is the intent of the parties that whenever it is necessary to determine the appraised value of the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property for the purpose of calculating a PILOT Payment, the parties and any appraisers selected under this Agreement shall strive to determine what appraised value for property tax purposes would have been determined by the Bexar Appraisal District for the relevant time period. This shall be accomplished pursuant to the provisions in Section 3.5 below.

If the Bexar Appraisal District takes steps to determine the appraised value for property tax purposes of the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property or to determine the qualification of the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property for exemption under the EDC Act or other applicable law, Windcrest EDC and the City of Windcrest hereby automatically designate Rackspace to act as their agent for property tax matters involving the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property, including for filing and management of any necessary protests or appeals.

Section 1.18 "Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property" means the Leased Property, the Personal Property Improvements and the Real Property Improvements (and any taxable leasehold or other possessory interest in the property) located in Bexar County, Texas that are owned by the Windcrest Economic Development Corporation and leased to Rackspace (or its assignees, tenants or subtenants approved by the City of Windcrest) under this Agreement for use as part of the Leased Property Project.

ARTICLE 2

RACKSPACE COMMITMENT AND RECAPTURE

Section 2.1 Rackspace agrees to bring to and thereafter maintain at the Leased Property the following number of employees by the following dates: 2,000 employees by December 31, 2009; 3,000 employees by December 31, 2010; and 4,500 employees by December 31, 2012, with a median total annual payroll (salary and bonus) of not less than $51,000 (the "Employment Commitment"). The number of jobs, the median payroll, and the time to reach such Employment Commitments are (i) each subject to applicable events of Force Majeure, and (ii) shall be automatically reduced to match the number of jobs and the amount of median payroll contained in an agreement between Rackspace and the State of Texas regarding any Texas Enterprise Fund grant received by Rackspace if the state requirement is lower; however, the time to reach such Employment Commitments will not be reduced.

Section 2.2

(a) If Rackspace, a Related Organization, or a City of Windcrest-approved assignee or subtenant as provided below occupies and uses the Leased Property for Business Activities and subsequently all or substantially all Business Activities (or a substantial portion thereof) at the Leased Property are ceased for a continuous period of three (3) months (hereinafter referred to as a "Cessation of Business Activities") during the Exemption Period for any reason, except if such cessation is caused by a Force Majeure, then the City of Windcrest shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon delivery of the notices and expiration of the Cure Period. Said termination shall be effective for the calendar year during which such Cessation of Business Activities occurred.

(b) Upon a termination under Section 2.2(a), an amount equal to the ad valorem taxes which would have been assessed by the City of Windcrest, Bexar County and North East Independent School District ("NEISD") (hereafter referred to collectively as the "Taxing Units") against the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property for the calendar year in which the Cessation of Business Activity occurred, as if the property had not been exempt from property taxes, shall be paid as a PILOT Payment by Rackspace to the City of Windcrest.

(c) In addition to the PILOT Payment under Section 2(b), upon a termination under Section 2.2(a), an amount equal to the ad valorem taxes which would have been assessed by the City of Windcrest and Bexar County against the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property for the previous years during the Exemption Period if the property had not been exempt from property taxes shall be paid as a PILOT Payment by Rackspace to the City of Windcrest. The City of Windcrest shall pay to the County the County's portion of such PILOT Payment. A PILOT Payment shall also be made to NEISD (or its foundation, at the City of Windcrest's discretion) upon a termination under 2.2(a) for the same time period, but shall be calculated as follows. For each year of the Exemption Period, Rackspace shall pay the amount required to offset the net amount of actual

 

6


tax revenue and state aid loss to the NEISD for the given year(s) caused as a result of the Texas school finance laws and the tax-exempt nature of the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property. The purpose of this payment is to make NEISD whole, but not to place it in any better position than if it had actually received the property taxes, after taking into account the effect such a receipt of property taxes would have had on State funding to NEISD. To assist in determining the amounts due, the parties agree to utilize the services of the school finance consulting firms of either Moak, Casey & Associates, LLC of Austin, Texas or Kavoussi & Associates of San Antonio, Texas, as determined by NEISD, the cost of which shall be paid by Rackspace but then credited as a reduction in the amount of the next PILOT Payment to NEISD.

(d) Any PILOT Payment under this Section 2.2 shall be paid by Rackspace to the City of Windcrest within ninety (90) calendar days from the date the Cure Period has expired. The City of Windcrest shall pay any portion of such PILOT Payment due to other governmental entities within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such PILOT Payment. If a Cessation of Business Activity is caused by a Force Majeure, Rackspace may continue or terminate this Agreement, for all or a portion of the Leased Property, without liability for any PILOT Payment or other penalty.

Section 2.3 If Rackspace, a Related Organization, or a City of Windcrest-approved assignee or subtenant as provided below fails to satisfy the Employment Commitment during a calendar year in the Exemption Period, then for each such calendar year of noncompliance, Rackspace shall pay the City of Windcrest a PILOT Payment representing the property taxes that would have been assessed against the Real Property Improvements or Personal Property Improvements by the City of Windcrest or Bexar County as if they were not property tax exempt, and the City of Windcrest shall distribute such PILOT Payments to the appropriate taxing entities. The amount of the PILOT Payment shall be computed by multiplying the amount of property taxes that would have been assessed against the Real Property Improvements and Personal Property Improvements by the City of Windcrest and Bexar County by the same percentage as the deficiency in the Employment Commitment. The NEISD amount shall be calculated using the methodology set forth in Section 2.2(c).

For example, if Rackspace creates and retains ninety percent (90%) of the minimum number of full-time employee positions required to comply with the Employment Commitment in a given year, Rackspace shall be required to pay 10% of the taxes that would have otherwise been assessed by the Taxing Units (which for purposes of this Section 2.3 excludes NEISD as it is already covered by the separate provisions of Section 2.2(c)) against the Real Property Improvements or Personal Property Improvements for the given year of deficiency, but subject to a floor of fifty percent (50%). Since the Employment Commitment requires that the median total annual payroll of the employees credited to meet the Employment Commitment be not less than $51,000, when calculating the Employment Commitment the lowest paying jobs will be excluded from the number of jobs credited toward satisfying the Employment Commitment to the extent necessary to cause the median total compensation of the remaining employees to equal or exceed $51,000. If Rackspace fails to create and retain at least fifty percent (50%) of the minimum number of full-time employee positions required to comply with the Employment Commitment in a given year then, at the option of the City of Windcrest, the City of Windcrest may terminate this Agreement. Said termination shall be effective for the calendar year during which at least fifty percent (50%) of the minimum number of full-time employee positions required to comply with the Employment Commitment have not been created or retained by Rackspace. Upon said termination, a PILOT Payment equal to the ad valorem

 

7


taxes that would otherwise have been assessed by the Taxing Units against the Real Property Improvements and Personal Property Improvements for that calendar year shall be calculated as set forth in Section 2.2(c). A PILOT Payment equal to the property taxes that would otherwise have been assessed by the Taxing Units against the Real Property Improvements and Personal Property Improvements for the years in the Exemption Period preceding the year of termination shall be paid to the Taxing Units and calculated as set forth at Section 2.2.(b). If the failure to create and retain at least fifty percent (50%) of the minimum number of full-time employee positions required to comply with the Employment Commitment is caused by a Force Majeure, Rackspace shall have the right to continue or to terminate this Agreement, for all of or any remaining portion of the Leased Property, without recapture or other penalty. Rackspace may count employees of a subtenant or Related Organization that are located on a fulltime basis on the Leased Property as if they were Rackspace employees (including the median salary calculations) for purposes of meeting the Employment Commitment.

Section 2.4 During the Exemption Period the City of Windcrest may declare a default if Rackspace fails to comply with any of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 (but only below the 50% requirement) of this Agreement. Should the City of Windcrest determine that Rackspace is in default under any of the terms set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 (but only below the 50% requirement) of this Agreement, the City of Windcrest shall notify Rackspace in writing, and if said default is not cured within the Cure Period, then the City of Windcrest shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) calendar days prior written notice. The City of Windcrest shall have the option, to be exercised reasonably and in good faith, to extend the Cure Period if Rackspace commences to cure said default within the Cure Period and Rackspace is diligently pursuing such cure. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of a default described under this Section 2.4, the Taxing Units shall be entitled to the PILOT Payments calculated in the amounts and paid in the manner set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. For the purpose of calculating the PILOT Payments under Sections 2.2 and 2.3 there shall be no right of double recovery by any taxing unit entitled to a PILOT Payment. For example, if Rackspace ceases business activity under Section 2.2, and at the same time breaches its Employment Commitment under Section 2.3, the taxing unit shall elect as its remedy whether to proceed under Section 2.2 or Section 2.3. In addition, Rackspace shall be entitled to a credit against such PILOT Payments for any previous PILOT Payments or property taxes it has paid to the Taxing Units.

Section 2.5 If the Exemption Period expires and Rackspace Relocates or there is a Cessation of Business Activities at the Leased Property (other than as a result of a Force Majeure) during the one year period after the end of the Exemption Period, then the Taxing Units shall also have the right to a payment (by PILOT Payment, if necessary) from Rackspace equal to 20% of the property taxes (except for the payment to NEISD which shall be calculated in the manner set forth in Section 2.2(c)) that would have been assessed for the preceding tax year by the Taxing Units against the Real Property Improvements or Personal Property Improvements had they not been exempt from property taxes.

Section 2.6 If during the term of the Mall Lease, as set forth therein (the "Lease Term"), (a) Rackspace allows a PILOT Payment to become delinquent or there is a default; and (b) Rackspace does not cure such delinquency or default within the Cure Period, the City of Windcrest

 

8


shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. A PILOT Payment will then be due for the calendar year during which the termination occurred on the same basis set forth in Section 2(b). In addition a PILOT Payment shall be paid on the same basis set forth in Section 2(c).

Section 2.7 The Parties recognize, agree, and stipulate that the financial, civic, and social benefits to the City of Windcrest from the presence of Rackspace on the Leased Property are great, but that the precise value of those benefits is difficult to quantify due to the number of citizens and businesses that rely upon and benefit from the presence of Rackspace on the Leased Property. Accordingly, the magnitude of the damages that would result from a violation of Sections 2.2 through 2.6 hereof would be significant in size but difficult to quantify including, without limitation, damages to the reputation and finances of the City of Windcrest, Therefore, the Parties agrees that in the event of a violation of Sections 2.2 through 2.6 hereof including, without limitation, any such breach arising pursuant to the provisions of section 365(g) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar provision of any successor thereto, the City of Windcrest will be entitled to recover from Rackspace the PILOT Payments provided for in Sections 2.2 through 2.6 hereof, which are stipulated to be reasonable estimated damages, as reasonable liquidated damages and not as a penalty. The Parties hereby acknowledge that they have negotiated the above amounts in a good faith attempt to quantify the amount of damages arising due to a violation of Sections 2.2 through 2.6 hereof despite the difficulty in making such determination. Accordingly, in the event the City of Windcrest collects the above referenced liquidated damages, then the City of Windcrest hereby waives any right to collect additional monetary damages (other than legal fees and expenses) including lost or prospective profits, or for any other special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages.

Section 2.8 Other Remedies Available. Subject to the preceding paragraph, the City of Windcrest shall have the right to take appropriate action to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity, to enforce the obligations of Rackspace pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.9 Rackspace shall cause its outside auditing firm to calculate the number of employees meeting the Employment Commitment and the median salary of such employees as of December 31 of each year and shall certify such numbers to the City of Windcrest. The City of Windcrest shall, at its expense, have the right to cause its auditor to audit Rackspace's and any other entities' books and records which make up part of the calculation of the Employment Commitment, for the sole purpose of calculating the Employment Commitment.

ARTICLE 3

LEASED PROPERTY REDEVELOPMENT

Section 3.1 The Leased Property has been financed through a temporary financing with the Developer. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Rackspace will enter into the Mall Lease and the prepaid lease payments to the Windcrest EDC thereunder (and delivered into escrow hereunder, as described below) will be used in part to repay the Developer for the loans and liens used to temporarily finance the Leased Property, and in part to provide to the City of Windcrest $5,000,000 for the purposes described in Section 4.4 below. The cost will be $26,940,425.63 (which includes all expenses through June 30, 2007) plus the daily rate for expenses incurred until the date the Mall

 

9


Lease is fully executed, plus the $5,000,000.00 which shall be delivered to and held by the City of Windcrest pursuant to Section 4.4 below. Expenses will accrue as follows: interest from July 1, 2007, at the rate of $5,560.53 per day and security at the rate of $840 per week and, if necessary, insurance after July 15,2007 at market rates. Any unusual or nonrecurring expenses (e.g., power washing, utilities, repairs, surveys, replatting costs, environmental testing and closing costs) will be in addition to the amounts stated above.

Section 3.2 The City of Windcrest and the Windcrest EDC will authorize Rackspace and the Developer to appoint one individual each to serve as a member of the Windcrest EDC Board of Directors.

Section 3.3 The economic incentives granted to Rackspace in this Agreement require that a cumulative investment of not less than $60,000,000 by December 31, 2009, and of not less than $100,000,000 by December 31, 2012 be made in the acquisition and improvements to the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property, which sums include, without limitation, the amount of prepaid rent payable under Section 3.1 above, all soft costs incurred by Rackspace in connection with this Agreement and the design, construction, and equipping of the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property, and the costs of all property installed, used in, or constituting the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property, including all tangible and intangible property. Rackspace and the Developer, in equal shares, shall pay to the City of Windcrest an administrative fee not to exceed an aggregate total of $315,000 for the first three years following the Effective Date as provided in Section 11.4 below, and after the third year Rackspace shall pay an administrative fee of $100,000 per year if, and only if, (i) the tax exemption on the Leased Property, the Real Property Improvements and the Personal Property Improvements pursuant to Section 4B(k) of the EDC Act remains in effect, and (ii) Rackspace's sales taxes generated from the Leased Property are less than $500,000 for the year in question, and if either or both of such conditions (i) or (ii) are not met Rackspace will not owe the administrative fee to the City of Windcrest for that year. The Windcrest EDC will, upon written request by Rackspace, finance the purchase and renovation of the Leased Property (through the issuance of the Bonds) payable solely from the Lease payments. Additional Bonds may be issued for additional renovations and expansion projects relating to the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property. The terms of any such financing must be mutually acceptable to Rackspace and Windcrest EDC.

Section 3.4 The Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property will be owned by the Windcrest EDC and therefore will be exempt from property taxation during the term of the Lease pursuant to Section 4B(k) of the EDC Act. Nonetheless, Rackspace has agreed to make PILOT Payments as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, except during a 14-year exemption period, (the "Exemption Period"). The Exemption Period will begin on January 1 of the calendar year designated by Rackspace, which may be designated to begin on January 1 after the completion of substantial construction of the first phase of the renovation of the Leased Property and must begin no later than January 1, 2010. The Exemption Period will be for a 14-year period regardless of whether the Leased Property is actually exempt during such period. If the Exemption Period does not begin immediately, Rackspace shall make PILOT Payments to the Taxing Units until the Exemption Period begins. The PILOT Payments shall be calculated in the manner and amounts as set forth in Section 2.2(c). Rackspace shall also make PILOT Payments as set forth in Section 3.5 after the Exemption Period has expired and until the Mall Lease is terminated.

 

10


Section 3.5 Except during the Exemption Period, the PILOT Payments shall be paid to the City of Windcrest (or other entity designated by the City of Windcrest) for distribution to each Taxing Unit in an amount equal to the taxes that would have been assessed by each Taxing Unit against the Fee Simple Interest in the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property (including any improvements or additions) as if the property was not exempt from property taxation. These payments will be due by February 28th of the year following the tax year for which they are being paid. In the event the Bexar Appraisal District does not determine an appraised value for property tax purposes for the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property, then the appraised value for property tax purposes will be determined in the following manner. Rackspace will obtain an appraisal for the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property for property tax purposes from a real estate appraiser designated as a Member of the Appraisal Institute to appraise the Real Property and an appraiser who has an ASA designation to appraise the Tangible Personal Property ("Qualified Appraisers"). If the City of Windcrest agrees with that appraised value, then that value shall be used for purposes of this Section 3.5. If the City of Windcrest does not agree with that appraised value, then Rackspace and the City of Windcrest will attempt to agree on Qualified Appraisers to determine the appraised value for property tax purposes to be used. If Rackspace and the City of Windcrest are unable to mutually agree on Qualified Appraisers, then the City of Windcrest will select Qualified Appraisers who will, along with Rackspace's Qualified Appraisers, select a third set of Qualified Appraisers to assist the appraisers chosen by the parties to value the property, which value shall be as determined by a majority of such appraisers for each type of property (real and personal). In determining the relevant appraised values for property tax purposes, Rackspace, the City of Windcrest, and the appraisers shall be guided by the definitions contained in Section 1.17. Upon collection by the City of Windcrest, the PILOT Payments under this Section shall be distributed within thirty (30) days to each taxing unit as appropriate.

Section 3.6 During the Lease Term, Rackspace agrees to make additional PILOT Payments to the City of Windcrest for the benefit of the NEISD and the City will distribute them to the NEISD or its foundation, at the City of Windcrest's discretion, as follows: (a) the first payment will be payable no later than February 28, 2008 and shall be equal to the taxes that the NEISD would have assessed for the 2007 tax year against the Leased Property, if it was not exempt from property taxes, based on the Leased Property's 2007 tax year appraised value as determined by the Bexar Appraisal District; and (b) each year thereafter until the end of the Exemption Period Rackspace will make a PILOT Payment to the City of Windcrest (or such other entity the City may designate) in an amount calculated by multiplying the appraised value for tax purposes of the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property times the debt service portion (as defined in Texas Education Code Section 45.001(a)(2) or its successor provision) of the NEISD's tax rate for each such year.

Section 3.7 The Windcrest EDC and Rackspace will enter into a sale/leaseback, rental or similar agreements for all Personal Property Improvements it owns which are acquired for use by Rackspace at the Leased Property. At the end of the Exemption Period, Rackspace shall purchase all Personal Property Improvements from Windcrest EDC for $1.00. Rackspace will be responsible for all accounting associated with its leases from Windcrest EDC of the Personal Property Improvements.

Section 3.8 All additions to the Leased Property and the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property will also be subject to ownership by the Windcrest EDC and shall therefore be subject to property tax exemption under Section 4B(k) of the EDC Act for the Exemption Period and shall also be subject to the PILOT Payments and the appraisal process provided herein.

Section 3.9 At any time during the term of this Agreement, and at Rackspace's option in its sole discretion, Rackspace may terminate the Mall Lease by written notice thereof to the Windcrest EDC and a copy to Alamo Title Company, Attn: Chris Varley, 112 E. Pecan, Suite 125, San Antonio, Texas 78205 (the ‘Title Company”), upon which notice of termination the Title Company shall release from escrow and record in the Official Public Records of Bexar County, Texas the special warranty deed (executed by the Windcrest EDC contemporaneously herewith and delivered to the title company in escrow) conveying the Leased Property and all improvements thereto to Rackspace in consideration of the prepaid lease payments under Section 3.1 above and an additional $1.00 cash. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Rackspace's options under Section 3.7 and this Section 3.9 are each supported by $50.00 independent consideration (for a total of $100.00 independent consideration) paid by Rackspace to Windcrest EDC as of the Effective Date.

Section 3.10 The Windcrest EDC will work with Rackspace so that materials incorporated into improvements to the Leased Property and the Real Property Improvements will be exempt from sales and use taxes. The Windcrest EDC shall serve as the general contractor during renovation and construction to the extent necessary to achieve such tax exemption. Rackspace will provide Windcrest EDC with an indemnification for acting as the general contractor.

Section 3.11 As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the City of Windcrest will enter into with Rackspace a City Economic Development Grant Agreement, pursuant to Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code, which agreement will provide that, in the event it is determined that Section 4B(k) of the EDC Act does not apply or exempt the Leased Property, the Real Property Improvements or the Personal Property Improvements from property taxes, the City will make a grant to Rackspace of the property and sales taxes the City collects from the Annexed Area, the Eisenhauer Development Tract, and the Windcrest Development Site (less its cost of providing municipal services to the Annexed Area that are not covered by one-half of the local sales taxes collected as hereafter provided, and less any payments to the City of San Antonio under Section 10.4) to reimburse Rackspace for any property taxes it must pay during the Exemption Period. These grants will be made each year until the sooner of (a) full reimbursement to Rackspace of any and all accrued property taxes paid by Rackspace on the Leased Property, the Real Property Improvements or the Personal Property Improvements, or (b) December 31 , 2047, after which such grant payments shall cease. The City Economic Development Grant Agreement shall survive the expiration or the earlier termination of this Agreement. The City of Windcrest agrees it will not enter into any Economic Development Grants or other arrangements affecting any of the Annexed Area other than the Leased Premises (other than possibly as serving as the general contractor or owner in order to exempt the purchase of construction materials from sales taxes, similar to the arrangement described in Section 3.10 above) that have the effect of reducing or committing the property tax and sales tax revenues therefrom to other purposes not specifically provided for in this Agreement if such grant or arrangement, without the prior consent of Rackspace, would either (i) provide the described incentive for a period lasting longer than five years after completion of construction of the incentivized improvement(s), or (ii) constitute an abatement, cumulatively with all other incentives or exemptions in effect on such property, in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the expected tax value of the Annexed Area other than the Leased Premises after construction of all anticipated improvement(s).

 

12


Section 3.12 As its sole obligation under this Agreement, and as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the County will enter into with Rackspace a County Economic Development Grant Agreement, pursuant to Chapter 381 of the Texas Local Government Code, which agreement will provide that, in the event it is determined that Section 4B(k) of the EDC Act does not apply or exempt the Leased Property, the Real Property Improvements or the Personal Property Improvements from property taxes, the County will make a grant to Rackspace of the property taxes the County collects in the Annexed Area (less the amount of property taxes the County is currently collecting in the Annexed Area) for ten (10) tax years following the first day of the Exemption Period. Ad valorem taxes eligible under this Agreement shall be the ad valorem taxes levied by the Commissioners Court for and on behalf of Bexar County only, and shall not include taxes levied by the Commissioners Court for and on behalf of the Bexar County Hospital District operating as University Health System, the Bexar County Flood Control District, or any other taxing entity. The County Economic Development Grant Agreement and the terms of this Agreement shall be Rackspace's sole recourse against the County in the event that the Leased Property, the Real Property Improvements or the Personal Property Improvements becomes subject to taxation. The County Economic Development Grant Agreement shall survive the early termination of this Agreement. The County agrees it will not enter into any Economic Development Grants or other arrangements affecting any of the Annexed Area other than the Leased Premises that have the effect of reducing or committing the property tax and sales tax revenues therefrom to other purposes not specifically provided for in this Agreement if such grant or arrangement, without the prior consent of Rackspace, would either (i) provide the described incentive for a period lasting longer than five years after completion of construction of the incentivized improvement(s), or (ii) constitute an abatement, cumulatively with all other incentives or exemptions in effect on such property, in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the expected tax value of the Annexed Area other than the Leased Premises after construction of all anticipated improvement(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the County may make CDBG or EDA grants, a grant of its general funds, or another type of grant or incentive in the Annexed Area if it will not adversely affect the value of (or impair the ability of the County to pay) the grants to Rackspace under the County Economic Development Grant Agreement. Rackspace agrees that from the effective date of this Agreement throughout the term hereof, one-hundred percent (100%) of all employment positions at the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property shall be paid a minimum wage, not including benefits, of at least nine dollars and ninety-three cents ($9.93) per hour (or a salary that satisfies that requirement). Rackspace further agrees that within one year of the commencement of Business Activities at the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property, seventy percent (70%) of all new and existing employees at the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property shall be paid a minimum wage, not including benefits, of at least eleven dollars and forty-five cents ($11.45) per hour (or a salary that satisfies that requirement). Subject to meeting the requirements of such statute, Bexar County shall grant Rackspace a 100% property tax abatement for at least ten (10) years under Tax Code Chapter 312, with a base year of 2007.

Section 3.13 The commitment by Rackspace is subject to the granting by the Bexar Appraisal District of the initial property tax exemption for the Leased Property under Section 4B(k) of the EDC Act. The Parties agree to use their best efforts to support and defend the validity of the

 

13


ad valorem tax exemption under Section 4B(K) of the EDC Act for the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property, provided that the Parties shall not be required to incur other than nominal expenses in their best efforts, and provided further that all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Rackspace in its best efforts to support and defend the validity of the ad valorem tax exemption shall be added to the amount of the grants under the City Economic Grant Agreement as if they were ad valorem taxes paid.

Section 3.14 Rackspace shall owe no PILOT Payment under this Agreement for any tax year in which the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property is not exempt from property taxation and it is required to pay property taxes for that tax year. If Rackspace is required to pay ad valorem property taxes to any taxing unit in connection with the Rackspace Corporate Headquarters Property, Rackspace shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of the property tax payments against any PILOT Payments made pursuant to this Agreement for the benefit of such taxing units.

Section 3.15 Subject to meeting the requirements of such statute, the City of Windcrest shall grant Rackspace and Windcrest EDC a 100% property tax abatement for at least ten (10) years under Tax Code Chapter 312, with a base year of 2007.

ARTICLE 4

EISENHAUER DEVELOPMENT

Section 4.1 The Developer or Windcrest EDC will acquire the fee title to the Eisenhauer Development Tract for the Eisenhauer Development utilizing proceeds from a loan from the Developer and will hold it until such time as it is sold for development. The Parties understand that, as of the Effective Date and pursuant to existing contracts (the "Acquisition Contracts"), the Developer and/or Windcrest EDC, as the case may be, have until November 19, 2007 plus three thirty-day extensions by which to acquire such title. The Parties anticipate and are acting in good faith reliance that the Windcrest EDC holding period of the Eisenhauer Development Tract will be less than 24 months from the Effective Date. The Developer and Windcrest EDC hereby represent to the other Parties that each of the Acquisition Contracts is still in effect, that there are no defaults thereunder known to either the Developer or Windcrest EDC, and that no further extensions (beyond the three thirty-day extensions) of the closing dates beyond November 19, 2007 under the Acquisition Contracts shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of Rackspace, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The Parties acknowledge that the development of certain portions of the Eisenhauer Development Tract may require additional incentives from the City of Windcrest and/or the Windcrest EDC.

Section 4.2 The Developer and its successors and assigns will use its best efforts to develop the Eisenhauer Development Tract into a Mixed Use Project designed to be integrated with Rackspace's U.S. corporate headquarters located on the Leased Property. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Windcrest EDC has entered into restrictive covenants in a recordable form (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "K") prohibiting certain obnoxious or undesirable uses from being made of either the Eisenhauer Development Tract or the Leased Property. The restrictive covenants shall be held in escrow by the Title Company until fee title to the first tract in the Eisenhauer Development Tract is acquired by Windcrest EDC, at which time the

 

14


restrictive covenants shall be released from escrow and recorded by the title company in the Official Public Records of Bexar County, Texas for the tracts acquired, and re-recorded or amended subsequently to apply to all of the tracts acquired in the Eisenhauer Development Tract.

Section 4.3 The Developer and Windcrest EDC have entered into a development agreement governing the development of the Eisenhauer Development, a copy of which has been delivered to the other Parties. Developer will loan, on a non-recourse basis, to Windcrest EDC sufficient funds to enable it to acquire title to and pay all carrying costs for the Eisenhauer Development Tract in accordance with the land acquisition contracts for the parcels that comprise the Eisenhauer Development Tract. The Windcrest EDC will convey the Eisenhauer Development Tract back to the Developer at the time of development. (The parties to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the City, the County, and Developer, acknowledge and agree that, without regard to the ownership of the Eisenhauer Development Tract at any given time, the property and sales taxes generated by the development of and business activity on the Eisenhauer Development Tract, as part of the Annexed Area hereunder, are subject to payment to Rackspace pursuant to the City Economic Development Grant Agreement and the County Economic Development Grant Agreement described in Sections 3.11 and 3.12, above, respectively, as such payments may be limited by the provisions thereof and hereof.) The ownership of the Eisenhauer Development Tract by the Windcrest EDC is only intended to eliminate the carrying cost of taxes until the land can be developed and is not anticipated to last longer than 24 months. The development agreement will require the Developer and its successors and assigns to prepare a master plan for the Eisenhauer Development incorporating the live, work, and play concepts. The Developer will be obligated to use its best efforts to develop the Eisenhauer Development as a live, work, and play Mixed Use Project designed to be integrated with Rackspace's U.S. corporate headquarters located on the Leased Property. The Developer will construct at least five million dollars of the public infrastructure required for the Eisenhauer Development and/or the Windcrest Development Site from the proceeds of the Developer Economic Development Grant Agreement subject to the escrow arrangement all as described below.

Section 4.4 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 3.11, the City of Windcrest will enter into the Developer Economic Development Grant Agreement, pursuant to Section 380 of the Texas Local Government Code, with the Developer to enable the Developer to pay for or reimburse itself for the costs of constructing public infrastructure, public works or public improvements, including the soft cost associated therewith, on or for the benefit of the Annexed Area, pursuant to the terms of such agreement (the "Authorized Infrastructure"). The City of Windcrest has set aside and will maintain separately the amount of five million dollars from the amount received from Rackspace pursuant to Section 3.1 above. The five million dollars may be disbursed by the City of Windcrest only upon the occurrence of both (i) the full execution and delivery of the Boundary Change Agreement, and (ii) Windcrest EDC's acquisition of title to the Eisenhauer Development Tract, and then only as reimbursements for invoices paid in connection with the costs of the Authorized Infrastructure; provided, however, that prior to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions (i) and (ii), amounts may be released from the five million dollars to reimburse Developer or the City of Windcrest, as appropriate, for the actual expenses incurred with the firm of Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company in connection with planning the Eisenhauer Development. The five million dollars set aside by the City of Windcrest will be invested in eligible investments for the Windcrest EDC as directed by the Developer, and all earnings will be added to the five million

 

15


dollars and will be made available to the Developer under the Developer Economic Development Grant Agreement; provided that the Developer Economic Development Grant Agreement shall provide that such five million dollars plus earnings shall be retained by and available to the City of Windcrest, if necessary, to construct the Developer's portion of Racker Road (i.e., Racker Road between the Leased Property and Eisenhauer Road) if neither TxDOT nor the MPO construct Racker Road pursuant to Section 5.1, and provided further that if Developer defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, then the City of Windcrest, rather than Developer, shall have the right to direct the investment of the five million dollars by the Windcrest EDC (and such funds shall continue to be held by the City of Windcrest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the five million dollars may be released from the provisions of this Section 4.4 if the City of Windcrest has first received an irrevocable letter of credit payable to the City of Windcrest, in a form reasonably acceptable to the City of Windcrest, issued by Frost Bank, Capital One, Wachovia National Bank, Bank of America, or another bank with at least nine billion dollars in assets, issued in an amount sufficient to complete the Developer's portion of Racker Road and the rest of the Authorized Infrastructure as certified to by the City of Windcrest's engineer, and that may be drawn upon only to pay the costs of constructing the Authorized Infrastructure. In the event that both requirements for the release of the five million dollars by the City (or the receipt of the irrevocable letter of credit) have not occurred by September 1, 2008, the City of Windcrest shall use such escrowed funds (a) to construct such of the Authorized Infrastructure as may be undertaken with such funds (provided that the City of Windcrest shall consult with Rackspace as to which of the elements of the Authorized Infrastructure to construct) or, (b) if neither TxDOT nor the MPO construct Racker Road pursuant to Section 5.1, then for the City of Windcrest to construct the Developer's portion of Racker Road. Upon completion, all such Authorized Infrastructure will be conveyed or dedicated to the City of Windcrest. The Eisenhauer Development Tract includes three parcels of land located along IH-35 south of the Leased Property containing the Conn's building, the Texas Furniture building and the flea market building (collectively, the "IH-35 Pads"). Any failure of the Developer or the Windcrest EDC to acquire title to the IH-35 Pads, and any decision by Developer not to loan money for the acquisition of the IH-35 Pads, is not a default under this Agreement, but such failure to acquire title to this portion of the Eisenhauer Development Tract by September 1, 2008, will result in the failure of condition (ii) in this Section 4.4 above.

Section 4.5 Additional tax incentives from the City of Windcrest and/or Windcrest EDC will be made available only if necessary to entice desired components for a live, work, and play environment for Rackspace's employees, as determined by such governmental entities subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to grants made of property and sales taxes generated by development on and use of the Annexed Area.

Section 8.2 City of Windcrest, Windcrest EDC, and the County will use their best efforts to obtain any matching funds to contribute toward the reconfiguration of the continuous turn lanes as described above.

ARTICLE 9

WINDCREST DEVELOPMENT

If the Windcrest Development Site is acquired by either the Windcrest EDC or the Developer during the term of this Agreement, all of the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 3.11 and 11.4, shall apply to such tract. Notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, until such time, if ever, that the Windcrest Development Site is so acquired, the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the ability of certain parties to pay for infrastructure improvements on the Windcrest Development Site pursuant to Section 4.4, shall not apply to the Windcrest Development Site.

  (a) The City of San Antonio and the City of Windcrest shall each receive 50% of the local sales taxes due to the City of windcrest and distributed by the State Comptroller for taxable business activity conducted on the Annexed Area; provided, however, that the 50% of all such local sales taxes to be retained by the City of Windcrest under such agreement shall be subject to the terms of Section 3.11 of this Agreement, including possible distribution to Rackspace as part of the City of windcrest's Chapter 380 economic development grant to Rackspace.

SECURITY PROVISIONS

Section 11.1 Pursuant to the Boundary Change Agreement, the City of Windcrest will annex the Annexed Area and such area will thereafter be served by the same fire and police services as serve the remainder of the City of Windcrest.

Section 11.2 An on-site police substation will be provided at or in the vicinity of the Leased Property by the City of Windcrest, if requested by and paid for by Rackspace. The City of windcrest will continue its existing "mutual aid" agreement with the City of San Antonio.

For the first three (3) years after the Effective Date, in the event that the Leased Property and the Mall Lease are exempt from property taxes under Section 4B(k) of the EDC Act and to the extent that one-half of the local sales taxes generated by taxable business activity on the Annexed Area and the Windcrest Development Site that is collected and retained by the City of Windcrest pursuant to Section 10.4 above (the "Applicable Sales Tax Revenue") is insufficient to pay for the City of Windcrest's costs of providing municipal services to the Annexed Area up to the Municipal Services Cost Cap, Rackspace and the Developer (and/or their successors) each (severally and not jointly) agree to contribute to the City of Windcrest one-half of the difference between the Municipal Services Cost Cap and the Applicable Sales Tax Revenue. To the extent that the Leased Property and the Mall Lease are not exempt from taxation under Section 4B(k) of the EDC Act, the City of Windcrest may retain the difference between the Municipal Services Cost Cap and the Applicable Sales Tax Revenue from the payment to be made to Rackspace under the City Economic Development Grant Agreement pursuant to Section 3.11 above.
