AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT entered into as of May 27, 1998 between Pueblo, a municipal corporation (the "City ") and Flexible Foam, Inc., an Ohio corporation ( "Flexible Foam ") and Moeller Land and Cattle Company, a �p , o corporation ( "Moeller ") (collectively "the Company "). WHEREAS, Company has expressed a willingness to locate its business within the Pueblo Municipal Airport Industrial Park, and in furtherance thereof has through the Pueblo Economic Development Corporation made application for funds and land with the City, and WHEREAS, the City has approved such application and will make funds and land available to Company subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 1. The following terms as used in this Agreement shall have the following meaning unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: "Employment Commitment Date" means December 31, 1999. "Facility" means the approximately 35,000 square foot manufacturing facility to be constructed by Company on the Property. "Full -Time Employee" means a person who performs work at the Facility for not less than thirty -two (32) hours per week whether employed by Company or by an outside entity acting as an agency to provide Full -Time Employees for Company. The term "Full -Time Employee" does not include independent contractors nor employees of independent contractors except as described herein. "Quarterly Employees" means the sum of the number of Full -Time Employees on each business day of a Quarter divided by the sum of the business days in such Quarter. "Quarter" means three consecutive calendar months. "Property" means the approximately 3.37 acres of land located at Pueblo Memorial Airport described as Lot 1, Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park Subdivision, Second Filing, Pueblo County, Colorado. 2. City will make available to or for the benefit of Company funds in the amount of $150,000 (the "City Funds "). Company shall spend or cause to be spent City Funds for the cost of the Facility, subject to and contingent upon: (a) Company filing in the office of the City Clerk copies of the following: (i) Company's certificate or other evidence of authority to transact business in the State of Colorado, (ii) certified copy of the resolution of the governing board of Company approving this Agreement and authorizing its officers to execute and deliver this Agreement in the name of Company, and (iii) evidence satisfactory to City that Company is diligently proceeding to construct the Facility and locate its business on the Property. The date of such filings is herein referred to as "Closing." (b) Company will engage as its general contractor Hume Supply, Inc. of Lima, Ohio to construct the Facility. All subcontracts for construction work on the Facility will be awarded after competitive bidding procedures which allow qualified local subcontractors and suppliers a rea- sonable opportunity to participate in the competitive bidding procedures. The general contractor shall use its best efforts in good faith to engage local subcontractors and suppliers to construct the Facility. (c) Company filing with the Director of Finance of City written request for payment certified by an officer of Company that the amounts included in the requests for payment have not been included in any prior request for payment and are for the actual cost of the Facility, identifying the portion of the Facility for which payment is sought, including certificates of the architect and contractor that such portions of the Facility have been installed. 3. Company acknowledges that the primary purpose of City in entering into this Agreement and the sole benefit to the City for making funds available to Company hereunder is the creation of jobs. Therefore, Company represents and agrees that it will employ at the Facility fifty (50) Full -Time Employees (the "Employment Commitment ") on the Employment Commitment Date and thereafter. 4. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Company shall for any reason default in its Employment Commitment set forth in paragraph 3 hereof, Company shall repay to City a pro -rata share of the City Funds advanced by City under paragraph 2 hereof based upon the number of Full-Time Employees employed by Company at the Facility (the "Repayment Obligation "), as follows: (a) During the five (5) year period starting on the Employment Commitment Date and ending sixty (60) months thereafter (the "Repayment Period ") Company shall pay to City an amount each Quarter equal to the Quarterly Employees less than fifty (50) employed at the Facility by Company multiplied by $150.00 (the "Company's Quarterly Payments "). For example, if for the Quarter ending June 2001 the Quarterly Employees is 40, the amount payable by Company to City on or before July 15, 2001 would be (50 - 40) x $150.00 = $1,500.00. Company's Quarterly Payments and Repayment Obligation shall in no event exceed the amount of City Funds advance by City under paragraph 2 hereof. (b) Company's Quarterly Payments, if any, shall be paid to the City without notice, demand, deduction or setoff on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month after the end of each Quarter during the Repayment Period and for one month thereafter at the office of the Director of Finance of City, 1 City Hall Place, Pueblo, Colorado, 81003. All past due Company's Quarterly Payments shall bear interest at the rate of ten (10) percent per annum until paid. (c) Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each Quarter during the Repayment Period and for one calendar month thereafter, Company will submit to City's Director of Finance -2- Company's statements showing the Quarterly Employees for the preceding Quarter and the basis upon which Quarterly Employees and Company's Quarterly Payment were computed certified by an officer of the Company to be true and correct. For purposes of verifying such employment, City shall have access to Company's books and records including payroll records. City will, however, respect the right of employees and Company as to confidentiality of personnel records. All City Funds advanced to Company by City under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a debt of Company payable to City until Company performs and discharges its obligations hereunder including its Repayment Obligation contained in this paragraph 4. 5. (a) City Council of City may, in its sole discretion, relieve Company, in whole or in part, from Company's Repayment Obligation set forth in paragraph 4, if the City Council, after public hearing, finds and determines based upon competent evidence presented at such hearing that Company was prevented from complying with its Employment Commitment by reason of an act of God, or the elements, fire, explosion, strike, insurrection, riot, shortage or unavailability of materials, supplies or labor, interruption of transportation facilities, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions, or other causes beyond Company's reasonable control. The findings and decision of the City Council shall be final and binding upon Company and City. (b) Prior to instituting any proceedings to enforce Company's Repayment Obligation under paragraph 4, City shall notify Company in writing of its intention to institute such proceedings. If Company desires to seek relief pursuant to paragraph 5(a), Company, within twenty (20) days after receipt of City's notice, shall deliver to City its written request for relief specifying the grounds upon which such relief is sought. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of Company's request, City will schedule a hearing before the City Council and give written notice to Company of the time and place of such hearing. Failure of Company to timely deliver its written request for relief or to appear and submit evidence in support of its request at a scheduled hearing shall constitute a waiver of any right of Company to a hearing before City Council. (c) No delay or failure by City to exercise its right to enforce Company's Repayment Obligation, and no partial or single exercise of that right, shall constitute a waiver of that right, unless the City Council otherwise expressly provides in its findings and decision made pursuant to paragraph 5(a). 6. If Closing does not occur on or before December 31, 1998, or such later date as Company and City shall mutually agree, this Agreement shall terminate and City and Company shall be released and discharged from all obligations hereunder. 7. Within thirty (30) days after Closing, City will convey title to the Property to Moeller by Warranty Deed substantially in the form and content of the Warranty Deed attached hereto as Exhibit A. Moeller and City agree that the Property will be conveyed and transferred by City and accepted by Moeller "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" without any representation or warranty by City as to the quality, quantity, or condition of the Property, either environmental or otherwise. Moeller at its expense will obtain all surveys and title insurance for the Property.
