payments until such time as construction is complete. Upon completion, Authority will release
the accrued retainage to Redeveloper within 30 days of issuance of the final certificate of

23
The Authority hereby designates the Enhanced Employment Area as shown and legally
described on Exhibit C-1. The Enhanced Employment Area is eligible for the imposition of an

Employment Area will result in at least fifteen (15) new employees and new investment of at least
one million dollars ($1,000,000.00), pursuant to Section 18-2116 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes
(Note: Hall County 2020 Census shows a population of 53,534). The Enhanced Employment Area
does not exceed six hundred acres in size.
Section 4.02 Occupation Tax.
The City agrees to levy a general business occupation tax upon all businesses within the
Enhanced Employment Area for the purpose of paying the principal and interest of each series of
Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness. Such occupation tax shall be established by the
Occupation Tax Ordinance, which shall be implemented for the Enhanced Employment Area and
shall remain effective for a period of 360 months, or such shorter time as is required to fully pay
the principal and interest on the Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness for the Enhanced
Employment Area. The Occupation Tax Ordinance shall provide that the effective date shall
commence the first day of the month that is after sixty days of the Start Date (the “Occupation
Tax Date”) with the Authority for the Enhanced Employment Area. Beginning on the Occupation
Tax Date of the Enhanced Employment Area, and in each calendar month thereafter, the
occupation tax is imposed upon each and every person operating a business within the Enhanced
Employment Area. The amount of such tax shall be one- and one-half percent (1.50%) of all
transactions which the State of Nebraska is authorized to impose a tax as allowed by the Nebraska
Local Option Revenue Act for each calendar month derived from the businesses subject to this tax
as more particularly described in the Occupation Tax Ordinance, except that no Occupation Tax
shall be imposed on any transaction which is subject to tax under Nebraska Revised Statutes
sections 53-160, 66-489, 66-489.02, 66-4,140, 66-4,145, 66-4,146, 77-2602, or 77-4008 or which

failure to pay the occupation tax shall constitute a violation of the Ordinance and subject the
violator to a fine or other punishment as provided by the Ordinance.
Within the Enhanced Employment Area created by this Redevelopment Contract, any
business that has one hundred thirty-five thousand square feet or more and annual gross sales of
ten million dollars or more shall provide an employer-provided health benefit of at least three
thousand dollars annually to all new employees who are working thirty hours per week or more on
average and have been employed at least six months. In making such determination, the Governing
Body may rely upon written undertakings provided by any owner of property within such area.
Section 4.03 Issuance of Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness.
After the execution of this Redevelopment Contract, the adoption of the Bond Resolution,
and the date the Occupation Tax Ordinance has been lawfully adopted, the Authority shall issue
its Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness in substantially the form shown on the attached
Exhibit C-2 (“Occupation Tax Revenue Bond”) and for a term that is not to exceed 360 months,
that is payable during the Enhanced Employment Act Period for the Enhanced Employment Area.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/27/2022 Page 37 / 90
24
Each series of Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness shall be purchased and funded by the
Redeveloper. The Authority hereby pledges and grants to the Redeveloper, or its lender if an
assignment of said funds has been received by the Authority, the amount of each such Series of the
Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness as an offset against the purchase price thereof. The
Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness shall specifically provide that any shortfall in anticipated
Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues from the businesses within the Enhanced Employment
Area for any reason whatsoever, specifically including a decline in taxable receipts within the
Enhanced Employment Area or termination of the Enhanced Employment Act Period, shall be
borne entirely by the Redeveloper without recourse of any kind against the City or Authority. The
City Administrator on behalf of the City and Authority shall have the authority to determine all
the other necessary and reasonable details and mechanics of the Enhanced Employment Act
Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness, Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues, City
Enhanced Employment Act Project Accounts and the pledges and grants of funds for the eligible

balance of principal or interest of the Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness shall be forfeited
and forgiven.

The City will impose this occupation tax authorized by the Enhanced Employment Act to
generate the Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues to be derived from the occupation taxes of
the businesses located within the Enhanced Employment Area as determined in the manner
provided for in the Community Development Law. The City and Authority shall work with the
Nebraska Department of Revenue, if necessary, to facilitate the operation of the occupation tax
and to secure the Redeveloper receipt of the Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues from such
occupation tax. All Occupation Tax Revenues, less 0.5% administrative fees retained by the City,
shall be paid to the Authority and shall be used by the Authority to pay the principal and interest
on the Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness.
Section 4.05 EEA Cost Certification.
Redeveloper (and any third party that receives title to a Lot from the Redeveloper) shall submit
to the Authority from time to time an EEA Project Cost Certification for any requested reimbursement
certifying that a portion of the Enhanced Employment or Redevelopment Improvement has been
substantially completed and certifying the actual costs incurred by the Redeveloper in the completion
of such portion(s) of the Enhanced Employment Area or Redevelopment Improvement of invoices
and cancelled checks showing payment of the same. The parties agree that redevelopment
expenditures will involve the Enhanced Employment Area from time to time.

The Authority shall, to the extent allowed by law, and then only to the extent funds are
lawfully available from Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues generated for the Enhanced
Employment Area, pay the debt service on the Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness for the
Enhanced Employment Area, with interest at a rate per annum not to exceed six and one-half
percent (6.5%). Any debt service on the Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness (including
interest) to be paid from respective Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues allocated for the
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/27/2022 Page 38 / 90

Authority. Any such occupation tax shall remain in effect during the applicable Enhanced
Employment Act Period.
Section 4.07 Deficiency in Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues.
Any shortfall in anticipated Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues for any reason
whatsoever, specifically including a decline in occupation taxable receipts within the Enhanced
Employment Area shall be borne entirely by the Redeveloper without recourse of any kind against
the City and/or Authority. In the event the Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness for the
Enhanced Employment Area are not retired in full at the end of the Enhanced Employment Act
Period, any remaining Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness shall be forgiven. In the event that
any deficiency payments made by the Redeveloper as required by this subsection or any interest
that has accrued thereon have not been repaid at the end of the Enhanced Employment Act Period,
Redeveloper agrees that neither the City nor Authority shall be liable for payment of said shortfall
or deficiency amounts. The Redeveloper, at its expense, shall assume said shortfall or deficiency,
but the Redeveloper shall not be liable to the Authority or City for such shortfall or deficiency.

thirty (30) days after receiving written notice specifying the manner in which the Redeveloper has
breached this Redevelopment Contract from the Authority, or such longer period if such deficiency
cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, then such duty to maintain shall be
considered a violation of the City of Grand Island Property Maintenance Code, and the City and/or
Authority shall have the right to enforce Redeveloper’s duty to maintain as provided in the City of
Grand Island Code, or by any other means provided by law.

Section 4.11 City and Authority Not Liable for Deficiency.
Any debt service on the Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness (including interest) to be

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT, REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 7.01 General Remedies of Authority and Redeveloper.
Subject to the further provisions of this Article VII, in the event of any failure to perform
or breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto or
any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or remedy
such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a reasonable
time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. Any curing of any default or breach by a Mortgage
Holder of Redeveloper shall be deemed to be a curing by Redeveloper. In case such action is not
taken, or diligently pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied
within a reasonable time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party
may institute such proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this
Redevelopment Contract, including, but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific
performance by the party failing to perform or in breach of its obligations. The Redeveloper hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Authority shall have completed its required performances and
satisfied all of its obligations under this Redevelopment Contract upon the issuance of the TIF
Indebtedness and Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness, the subsequent payment of grant
amounts to the Redeveloper as set forth in this Redevelopment Contract, the payment of all the
TIF Revenues and Enhanced Employment Act Tax Revenues described in this Redevelopment
Contract and the payments under Section 3.08A.
Section 7.02 Additional Remedies of Authority.
The following Redeveloper “event of default” of (a) or (b) below shall trigger the additional
remedy described in this Section:
(a) the Redeveloper, or its successor in interest, shall fail to commence the
construction of the improvements included in the TIF Project Costs and/or Enhanced
Employment Act Project Costs on or before December 31, 2024, or shall abandon
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/27/2022 Page 42 / 90
29
construction work related to the aforementioned costs, once commenced, for any period of
180 days, excepting delays caused by inclement weather, or forced delay as set forth in
Section 7.04; and
(b) the Redeveloper, or its successor in interest, shall fail to pay real estate taxes or
assessments on the Redevelopment Project Property owned by the Redeveloper or
any part thereof when due; provided that, such failure to pay real estate taxes or
assessment shall not apply to Lots that the Redeveloper conveys to other parties.
The Redeveloper “event of default of (a) or (b) above shall be subject to the Redeveloper’s
curative rights described in Section 7.01 above.
In the event of such Redeveloper’s failure to perform, breach or default occurs for
Redeveloper “event of default of (a)” above and is not cured in the period herein provided, the
parties agree that the damages caused by such “event of default” to the Authority would be difficult
to determine with certainty and that a reasonable estimation of the amount of damages that could
be incurred is the amount of the grant to Redeveloper pursuant to Section 3.04A and 4.03 of this
Redevelopment Contract, less any reductions in the principal amount of the TIF Indebtedness and
Enhanced Employment Act Indebtedness, plus interest on such amounts as provided herein (the
“Liquidated Damages Amount (a)”). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Liquidated
Damages Amount (a) shall be applied as a reduction to the outstanding principal amount of the
applicable indebtedness.
In the event of such Redeveloper’s failure to perform, breach or default occurs for
Redeveloper “event of default of (b)” above and is not cured in the period herein provided, the
parties agree that the damages caused by such “event of default” to the Authority would be difficult
to determine with certainty and that a reasonable estimation of the amount of damages that could
be incurred is the amount of the grant to Redeveloper pursuant to Section 3.04A of this
Redevelopment Contract, less any reductions in the principal amount of the TIF Revenues, plus
interest on such amounts as provided herein (the “Liquidated Damages Amount (b)”). Upon the
occurrence of an event of default, the Liquidated Damages Amount (b) shall be applied as a
reduction to the outstanding principal amount of the TIF Indebtedness.
Payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount shall only apply to the Redeveloper and not
to any other parties. Payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount not relieve Redeveloper of its
obligation to pay real estate taxes, occupation taxes, or assessments with respect to the
Redevelopment Project Property, the Project, and the Enhanced Employment Area.
Section 7.03 Remedies in the Event of Other Redeveloper Defaults.
In the event the Redeveloper fails to perform any other provisions of this Redevelopment
Contract (other than those specific provisions contained in Section 7.02), the Redeveloper shall be
in default. In such an instance, the Authority may seek to enforce the terms of this Redevelopment
Contract or exercise any other remedies that may be provided in this Redevelopment Contract or
by applicable law; provided, however, that any defaults covered by this Section shall not give rise
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/27/2022 Page 43 / 90
30
to a right or rescission on termination of this Redevelopment Contract and shall not be covered by
the Liquidated Damages Amount.
Section 7.04 Forced Delay Beyond Party’s Control.
For the purposes of any of the provisions of this Redevelopment Contract, neither the
Authority nor the Redeveloper, as the case may be, nor any successor in interest, shall be
considered in breach of or default in its obligations with respect to the conveyance or preparation
of the Redevelopment Project Area and Enhanced Employment Area or any part thereof for
redevelopment, or the beginning and completion of construction of the TIF Project and Enhanced
Employment Area Project, or progress in respect thereto, in the event of forced delay in the
performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its
fault or 9.08
, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, pandemics, or of the public enemy, acts of the
Government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight
embargoes, and unusually severe weather or delays in subcontractors due to such causes or delays
in the issuance of any necessary permits and other governmental approvals; any delay caused by
any action, inaction, order, ruling, moratorium, regulation, statute, condition or other decision of
any governmental agency having jurisdiction over any portion of the Redevelopment Project Area,
over the construction anticipated to occur thereon or over any uses thereof, or by delays in
inspections or in issuing approvals by private parties or permits by governmental agencies,
governmental requirements and/or shutdowns, or other labor disputes, damage to work in progress
by reason of fire or other casualty, unavailability of labor or materials, default of general contractor
or other contractors, or causes beyond the reasonable control of a party then, it being the purpose
and intent of this provision that in the event of the occurrence of any such forced delay, the time
or times for performance of the obligations of the Authority or of the Redeveloper with respect to
construction of the Master Project, as the case may be, shall be extended for the period of the
forced delay: Provided, that the party seeking the benefit of the provisions of this section shall,
within thirty (30) days after the beginning of any such forced delay, have first notified the other
party thereto in writing, and of the cause or causes thereof and requested an extension for the
