CONDITIONS OF THE GRANT The City's obligations under this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions (the "Grant Conditions"): A. No later than March 1, 2005, (subject to force majeure delays not to exceed 180 days), SBC shall make a capital investment of at least $20 million for the construction, equipping and furnishing of a building or buildings and other improvements to be constructed or placed on the Property as more particularly described in the Application for Economic Development (the "Improvements"). The Improvements include the obligation of SBC to: (i) construct a building or buildings of least 200,000 1 square feet, and including at least 185,000 square feet of Class A office space, along with other improvements to be constructed on the Property, with an estimated assessed value of $17 million (the 'Building'); and (ii) purchase and install tangible personal property valued at approximately $3 million, for a total increased assessed value of $20 million, as finally determined by the Denton County Appraisal District (subject to statutory appeals and any compromise settlements). The Improvements shall be substantially completed no later than March 1, 2005 (subject to force majeure and other reasonable delays not to exceed 180 days). The Building, once completed and furnished, shall be occupied by SBC or an affiliate as an administrative center, for the duration of the term of this Agreement. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Building shall be continuously operated and maintained as Class A office space (with appurtenant space for other purposes as reasonably necessary) so that the uses of the Property shall be consistent with the general purpose of encouraging development or redevelopment of the City of Denton, except as otherwise authorized or modified by this Agreement. B. SBC shall satisfy all of the provisions and requirements for the project as set forth in the Application for Economic Development Incentives including the requirement that the Improvements shall be used in accordance with the description of the project set forth in the Application for Economic Development Incentives; and C. As of January 1, 2003, there were no Improvements on the Property. II. GENERAL PROVISIONS A. The Property is not in an improvement project financed by tax increment bonds. B. Neither the Property nor any of the Improvements are owned or leased by any member of the City Council, any member of the City Planning and Zoning Commission of the City or any member of the governing body of any taxing units joining in or adopting this Agreement or similar agreement affecting the Property. C. This Agreement is subject to rights of holders of outstanding bonds of the City, if any. D. In the event of any conflict between the City zoning ordinances, or other City ordinances or regulations, and this Agreement, such ordinances or regulations shall control, provided however the City shall not diminish the benefits to SBC under this Agreement through ordinances or regulations. III. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF GRANT A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City hereby agrees to pay to SBC annually, after the first assessment following receipt by SBC of the 2 certificate of occupancy, an amount equal to 40% of the difference between: (a) the City ad valorem taxes for the Property and the Improvements, excluding all tangible personal property (including inventory and supplies) transferred to the Building from other locations in the City of Denton, Texas (the excluded property being the "Transferred Property"); over, (b) City ad valorem taxes payable for the Property as of January 1, 2003 (with the resulting payments known as the "Annual Payments"), such Annual Payments to be subject to the following terms and conditions. The assessed value shall be established using the Denton County Appraisal District appraisal process. B. SBC shall have the right to protest and contest any or all appraisals or assessments by the Denton County Appraisal District for the Property, the Improvements or any other tangible personal property owned by SBC and located on the Property. All calculations in this Agreement shall be based upon final assessed values after any such protest or contest. C. The Annual Payments shall be for a term of ten (10) years with the first payment being due and payable on or before 60 days after the City is in receipt of all City ad valorem taxes due and payable for the Property and Improvements as of January 1 of the year following the calendar year in which a certificate of occupancy is issued by the City for the Building (the `Beginning Date"), and, unless sooner terminated as herein provided, shall end after the tenth Annual Payment. All subsequent Annual Payments shall be due and payable on or before 60 days after the City is in receipt of all ad valorem taxes due and payable for the Property and Improvements as of January 1 for subsequent years. D. The City's obligation to pay the Annual Payments is subject to the fulfillment of the Grant Conditions. Nothwithstanding the foregoing, the City agrees to pay to SBC reduced Annual Payments so long as the total minimum assessed value of the Improvements (exclusive of Transferred Property) is not less than $10,000,000 as determined by the Denton County Appraisal District valuation process. Such reduced Annual Payments will be reduced by the percentage of reduction between the anticipated and actual increase in assessed value. For example, if the total increase in assessed value is $19 million, the total assessed value is 95 per cent of what was originally anticipated (that is, $20 million). 95 per cent of 40 per cent is 38 per cent. Therefore, in such case SBC would receive an Annual Payment equal to 38 per cent of the eligible ad valorem taxes paid, a reduction of 2 percent. IV. RECORDS, AUDITS, AND EVALUATION OF PROJECT A. No later than 60 days after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Building, SBC shall deliver an affidavit to the City signed by an authorized officer of SBC certifying to a list and description of Transferred Property. Such list is subject to verification and audit by the City at all reasonable times. SBC shall cooperate with the City in providing any and all verifications that may be required by the City to establish accuracy of the affidavit. When rendering its tangible personal property located on the Property for ad valorem taxes for the year applicable to the first Annual Payment, SBC shall segregate and list the values of the Transferred Property separate from other tangible personal property located on the Property so that the City and Denton County Appraisal District will be able to calculate the value attributable solely to the Transferred Property (the "Value of the Transferred Property"). For subsequent Annual Payments, the Value of the Transferred Property will be reduced by one -fifth per year (to account for depreciation) until reduced to zero and will be simply deducted from the total assessed value of all tangible personal property located on the Property, in determining the amount of the Annual Payment. B. During normal office hours throughout the term of this Agreement, after providing reasonable notice to SBC, the City shall have access, on a reasonable number of occasions, to the Improvements by City employees, consultants and authorized agents for the purpose of inspecting the hnprovements to ensure that the Improvements are made in accordance with the specifications and conditions of this Agreement and to verify that the conditions of this Agreement are being complied with, provided that such inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with SBC's normal business operations. V. FAILURE TO MEET CONDITIONS In the event (i) SBC allows its ad valorem real property taxes owed to the City with respect to the Property or Building, or its ad valorem taxes owed to the City with respect to any tangible personal property owned by SBC which are located in the Building, to become delinquent and fails to timely and properly follow the legal procedures for protest and/or contest of any such ad valorem real property or tangible personal property taxes; or, (ii) any other material conditions of this Agreement are not substantially met (and subject to the provisions of paragraph III (D)), including the Grant Conditions, then a "Condition Failure" shall be deemed to have occurred. It is understood that a Condition Failure shall not be deemed to occur merely because at a particular time it cannot be determined whether such condition will be met, but shall occur only if at a particular time it can be determined that such condition will not be met. In the event that a Condition Failure occurs, the City shall give SBC written notice of such Condition Failure and if the Condition Failure has not been cured or satisfied within ninety (90) days of said written notice, this Agreement may be terminated by the City; provided, however, that if such Condition Failure is not reasonably susceptible of cure or satisfaction within such ninety (90) day period and SBC has commenced and is pursuing the cure or satisfaction of same, then after first advising the City of efforts to cure or satisfy same, SBC may utilize such additional time as may be reasonably required to cure such Condition Failure, but not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days. Time in addition to the foregoing may be authorized by the City Council. If a Condition Failure is not cured or satisfied after the expiration of the applicable notice and cure or satisfaction periods ("Condition Failure Default"), as City's sole and exclusive remedy, the Annual Payments shall be terminated with respect to the year in which notice of the Condition Failure is given and for all future years, and SBC shall repay to the City portions of the Annual Payments previously paid in accordance rd with the following criteria: In the event of a Condition Failure Default after receipt of the first Annual Payment, SBC shall repay to the City 80% of the Annual Payment received; for a Condition Failure Default after receipt of the second Annual Payment, SBC shall repay to the City 70% of the Annual Payments previously received; after receipt of the third, 60%; after receipt of the fourth, 50%; after receipt of the fifth, 40%; after receipt of the sixth, 30%; after receipt of the seventh, 20%; after receipt of the eighth, 10%; and thereafter no repayment is required. VI. ASSIGNMENT This Agreement and SBC's rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned without the City's prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably witheld. Provided, however, SBC may, without City's prior written approval, assign the Property and this Agreement to any affiliate. VII.

Neither the Property nor any of the Improvements are owned or leased by any member of the City Council, any member of the City Planning and Zoning Commission of the City or any member of the governing body of any taxing units joining in or adopting this Agreement or similar agreement affecting the Property. C. This Agreement is subject to rights of holders of outstanding bonds of the City, if any. D. In the event of any conflict between the City zoning ordinances, or other City ordinances or regulations, and this Agreement, such ordinances or regulations shall control, provided however the City shall not diminish the benefits to SBC under this Agreement through ordinances or regulations. III. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF GRANT A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City hereby agrees to pay to SBC annually, after the first assessment following receipt by SBC of the 2 3331 P431 1 certificate of occupancy, an amount equal to 40% of the difference between: (a) the City ad valorem taxes for the Property and the Improvements, excluding all tangible personal property (including inventory and supplies) transferred to the Building from other locations in the City of Denton, Texas (the excluded property being the "Transferred Property"); over, (b) City ad valorem taxes payable for the Property as of January 1, 2003 (with the resulting payments known as the "Annual Payments"), such Annual Payments to be subject to the following terms and conditions. The assessed value shall be established using the Denton County Appraisal District appraisal process. B. SBC shall have the right to protest and contest any or all appraisals or assessments by the Denton County Appraisal District for the Property, the Improvements or any other tangible personal property owned by SBC and located on the Property. All calculations in this Agreement shall be based upon final assessed values after any such protest or contest. C. The Annual Payments shall be for a term of ten (10) years with the first payment being due and payable on or before 60 days after the City is in receipt of all City ad valorem taxes due and payable for the Property and Improvements as of January 1 of the year following the calendar year in which a certificate of occupancy is issued by the City for the Building (the "Beginning Date"), and, unless sooner terminated as herein provided, shall end after the tenth Annual Payment. All subsequent Annual Payments shall be due and payable on or before 60 days after the City is in receipt of all ad valorem taxes due and payable for the Property and Improvements as of January 1 for subsequent years. D. The City's obligation to pay the Annual Payments is subject to the fulfillment of the Grant Conditions. Nothwithstanding the foregoing, the City agrees to pay to SBC reduced Annual Payments so long as the total minimum assessed value of the Improvements (exclusive of Transferred Property) is not less than $10,000,000 as determined by the Denton County Appraisal District valuation process. Such reduced Annual Payments will be reduced by the percentage of reduction between the anticipated and actual increase in assessed value. For example, if the total increase in assessed value is $19 million, the total assessed value is 95 per cent of what was originally anticipated (that is, $20 million). 95 per cent of 40 per cent is 38 per cent. Therefore, in such case SBC would receive an Annual Payment equal to 38 per cent of the eligible ad valorem taxes paid, a reduction of 2 percent. IV. RECORDS, AUDITS, AND EVALUATION OF PROJECT A. No later than 60 days after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Building, SBC shall deliver an affidavit to the City signed by an authorized officer of SBC certifying to a list and description of Transferred Property. Such list is subject to verification and audit by the City at all reasonable times. SBC shall cooperate with the City in providing any and all verifications that may be required by the City to establish accuracy of the affidavit. When rendering its tangible personal property located on the 3 5331 04312 Property for ad valorem taxes for the year applicable to the first Annual Payment, SBC shall segregate and list the values of the Transferred Property separate from other tangible personal property located on the Property so that the City and Denton County Appraisal District will be able to calculate the value attributable solely to the Transferred Property (the "Value of the Transferred Property"). For subsequent Annual Payments, the Value of the Transferred Property will be reduced by one -fifth per year (to account for depreciation) until reduced to zero and will be simply deducted from the total assessed value of all tangible personal property located on the Property, in determining the amount of the Annual Payment. B. During normal office hours throughout the term of this Agreement, after providing reasonable notice to SBC, the City shall have access, on a reasonable number of occasions, to the Improvements by City employees, consultants and authorized agents for the purpose of inspecting the Improvements to ensure that the Improvements are made in accordance with the specifications and conditions of this Agreement and to verify that the conditions of this Agreement are being complied with, provided that such inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with SBC's normal business operations. V. FAILURE TO MEET CONDITIONS -In the event (i) SBC allows its ad valorem real property taxes owed to the City with respect to the Property or Building, or its ad valorem taxes owed to the City with respect to any tangible personal property owned by SBC which are located in the Building, to become delinquent and fails to timely and properly follow the legal procedures for protest and/or contest of any such ad valorem real property or tangible personal property taxes; or, (ii) any other material conditions of this Agreement are not substantially met (and subject to the provisions of paragraph III (D)), including the Grant Conditions, then a "Condition Failure" shall be deemed to have occurred. It is understood that a Condition Failure shall not be deemed to occur merely because at a particular time it cannot be determined whether such condition will be met, but shall occur only if at a particular time it can be determined that such condition will not be met. In the event that a Condition Failure occurs, the City shall give SBC writteh notice of such Condition Failure and if the Condition Failure has not been cured or satisfied within ninety (90) days of said written notice, this Agreement may be terminated by the City; provided, however, that if such Condition Failure is not reasonably susceptible of cure or satisfaction within such ninety (90) day period and SBC has commenced and is pursuing the cure or satisfaction of same, then after first advising the City of efforts to cure or satisfy same, SBC may utilize such additional time as may be reasonably required to cure such Condition Failure, but not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days. Time in addition to the foregoing may be authorized by the City Council. If a Condition Failure is not cured or satisfied after the expiration of the applicable notice and cure or satisfaction periods ("Condition Failure Default"), as City's sole and exclusive remedy, the Annual Payments shall be terminated with respect to the year in which notice of the Condition Failure is given and for all future years, and SBC shall repay to the City portions of the Annual Payments previously paid in accordance 13 3331 04313 with the following criteria: In the event of a Condition Failure Default after receipt of the first Annual Payment, SBC shall repay to the City 80% of the Annual Payment received; for a Condition Failure Default after receipt of the second Annual Payment, SBC shall repay to the City 70% of the Annual Payments previously received; after receipt of the third, 60%; after receipt of the fourth, 50%; after receipt of the fifth, 40%; after receipt of the sixth, 30%; after receipt of the seventh, 20%; after receipt of the eighth, 10%; and thereafter no repayment is required.
