sha ll be adju~ted (i.e. delayed) in the C\ent of stonn s on Galveston Island that ad,ersely impacts
the growth rate of taxable value of the BeachfO\\ n development. To be granted a delay. the rate
of growth of the taxable value in the Zone must arop h) at least fifty per cent (50'o) based on the
record s of the Count:;. Appraisa l District. The decrease in rate '' ill be determined b.) using the
average of the rate of grovv1h in taxable value for three years prior to the storm and comparing it

Dt op

to the rate of growth of taxable value for the year after the storm. For example, if a storm occurs
on Galveston Island 20 11 and the growth of taxable value in the Zone was 10% in 2008 , 10% in
2009 and 10% in 20 10 but only 4% in 20 11 , the three year average growth rate is 10% and the
201 1 is 4%, which is less than half the average rate (or 5%), so the date would be delayed. The
date to reach the $156,000,000 will be extended for two (2) years if the storm event reduces the
annual growth rate by 50% or more. Provided fmther, the Authority Board may in its sole
discretion add a second two-year extension to the date to achieve the $156,000,000 of total
taxable value if a storm adversely impacts the growth rate in the taxable value in the Zone for
more than two years.
(C)
Each Developer Advance shall be evidenced by a certificate substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit "B".
(D)
Except as provided in Section 6.02 above, the Authority shall begin repaying the
Developer Advances, and shall continue such repayment until repaid in full, on the earliest date
that funds are available from any of the following sources:
( 1)
(2)

proceeds from the sale of the Authority Bonds; or

the Available Tax Increment.

(E)
The Authority hereby irrevocably pledges the Available Tax Increment to the
payment of its obligations to the Developer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The lien
on, and pledge of and rights in and to the Available Tax Increment attributable to the Project
established, made, and granted herein shall constitute a first and senior lien thereon, subject only
