CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECTS. 5.1 Construction. Subject to the Project Finance Ceiling and the Coverage Confirmation, the Corporation authorizes the Taxpayers to use Private Funding to construct all or any portion of the Projects previously approved by the Corporation and authorized by the Act and the Development and Performance Agreements that are Private Improvements on a schedule determined by the Taxpayers and consistent with the performance standards set forth in the Development and Performance Agreements. The Applicable Taxpayer shall identify to the Corporation, from time to time, the Private Improvements to be financed with Private Funding, including an estimate of the amount of the Private Funding. All Private Improvements financed with Private Funding shall be engineered, designed, constructed, installed, and inspected (collectively referred to as "Construction") in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, Type A Corporation Funding Agreement Page 6 1775.010\30829.6 rules, and regulation of all governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the Construction. Upon the completion of each Private Improvements financed with Private Funding, the Applicable Taxpayer shall present to the Corporation an accounting of the Qualified Costs paid or incurred in the Construction for which the Applicable Taxpayer is seeking repayment from Available Sales Tax Revenues. The Corporation shall have 30 days to review the accounting and to object to any line item thereof, and if there are no objections within such 30-day period, the accounting shall be deemed approved by the Corporation and eligible for repayment from Available Sales Tax Revenues; provided, however, interest on Private Funding shall be limited to the construction period of such Private Improvements. 5.2 Insurance. Engineers, architects, and contractors involved with Construction shall be required to maintain in effect at all times during Construction general liability insurance provided by insurers licensed to do business in Texas and providing coverages approved by the Corporation (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and naming the Corporation as an additional insured.

In addition, the Taxpayers, together with the engineers, architects, and contractors involved with the Construction, shall indemnify the Corporation (and its officials, officers, and employees) from claims against them that arise from or are in any way related to the Construction. This indemnification survives termination of this Agreement; however, this indemnity terminates: (i) if the Corporation is in Default under this Agreement; or (ii) if the Corporation fails to assert a claim of immunity that could otherwise be asserted in accordance with state law in the absence of an indemnification; or (iii) with respect to specific Construction if the claim arises more than two years after the specific Construction was completed. 5.4 Books and Records. The Taxpayers shall at all times keep complete and accurate books and records and shall allow any representative of the Corporation, at all reasonable times and with at least three business days' prior notice, to examine and copy the books and records of the Taxpayers that relate to this Agreement. 6. CONTRIBUTIONS TO CAPITAL. 6.1 Private Funding. Subject to the Project Finance Ceiling and Coverage Confirmation, the Corporation authorizes the Taxpayers, at the option of the Taxpayers, to finance the Construction of Private Improvements using Private Funding, and the Corporation agrees to repay the Applicable Taxpayer for Qualified Costs from Available Sales Tax Revenues, which repayments shall be Private Funding Obligations of the Corporation that constitute contributions to the capital of the Applicable Taxpayer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Debt Service Obligations for Bond Obligations secured by Available Sales Tax Revenues will be paid first before any Debt Service Obligations will be paid for Private Debt Obligations secured by Type A Corporation Funding Agreement Page 7 1775.010\30829.6 Available Sales Tax Revenues and before and Debt Service Obligations will be paid for Private Funding Obligations payable from Available Sales Tax Revenues. 6.2 Use of Type A Sales Tax Revenues. 6.2.1 For so long as any Private Debt Obligations secured by Available Sales Tax Revenues or any Private Funding Obligations payable from Available Sales Tax Revenues remain unpaid, the Corporation agrees to continue to deposit 90% of the Type A Sales Tax Revenues into the Type A Reimbursement Account to pay such Private Debt Obligations and Private Funding Obligations up to the amount each year required to pay the respective Debt Service Obligations for all Private Debt Obligations and all Private Funding Obligations. 6.2.2 If in any given year Available Sales Tax Revenues are sufficient to pay Debt Service Obligations for Bond Obligations, then 90% of the Type A Sales Tax Revenues shall continue to be deposited into the Type A Reimbursement Account as required by Section 6.2.1, and the resulting Available Sales Tax Revenues shall then be used first to pay all Debt Service Obligations for Private Funding payable from Available Sales Tax Revenues and second to pay all Debt Service Obligations for Private Debt secured by Available Sales Tax Revenues. Debt Service Obligations for Private Funding and Debt Service Obligations for Private Debt will each be amortized over an 18-year period as described in the Amortization Formula and illustrated in the example attached as Exhibit B. The Annual Payment CAP equals the amount payable each year from Available Sales Tax Revenues for Debt Service Obligations for Private Funding and Debt Service Obligations for Private Debt and equals the sum of all Debt Service Obligations for Private Funding and Debt Service Obligations for Private Debt. 6.2.3 If in any given year all Debt Service Obligations for Bond Obligations have been paid and all Debt Service Obligations for Private Funding and Private Debt have been paid up to the Annual Payment CAP, then for the remainder of such year 50% of the Type A Sales Tax Revenue received by the Corporation shall be deposited into the Corporation's general fund and 50% shall be deposited into the Type A Reimbursement Account and used by the Corporation (i) first to retire Private Funding Obligations paid by TXFM for the warehouse, distribution, and corporate headquarters portions of the Facility, (ii) next to retire additional Private Funding Obligations for Project Costs authorized by the Act (in the order incurred), (iii) next to retire Private Debt Obligations for Project Costs authorized by the Act (in the order incurred), (iv) next to pay Project Costs authorized by the Act (in the order incurred), and (v) last to retire Bond Obligations (in the order incurred). 6.2.4 When all Bond Obligations, all Private Funding Obligations, and all Private Debt Obligations have been paid in full, 50% of the Type A Sales Tax Revenues shall be deposited into the Corporation's general fund and 50% shall continue to be deposited into the Type A Reimbursement Account and used by the Corporation to pay Project Costs in accordance with the Type A Performance Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if at any time additional Bond Obligations, additional Private Funding Obligations, or additional Private Debt Obligations are issued or incurred, 90% Type A Corporation Funding Agreement Page 8 1775.010\30829.6 of the Type A Sales Tax Revenues shall again be deposited into the Type A Reimbursement Account as Available Sales Tax Revenues, and such Available Sales Tax Revenues shall be used for the purposes and in the priorities described in this Section 6. 6.3 To the extent the Applicable Taxpayer elects to finance the Construction of Private Improvements with Private Funding, then the Corporation releases NFM Services, LLC, from all obligations to make advances required for such Private Improvements under those certain Amended and Restated Construction Management Agreements among NFM Services, LLC, and the Corporation effective November 20, 2012 (collectively, the "CMAs"). For so long as the Corporation is obligated to pay Debt Service Obligations for Private Funding Obligations or Debt Service Obligations for Private Debt Obligations, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the CMAs, this Agreement shall control. 6.4 The flow of funds from the Type A Reimbursement Account with respect to the payment of Debt Service Obligations for Bond Obligations, Private Funding Obligations, and Private Debt Obligations is illustrated, in principal, on Exhibit C. 7 DEFAULT; REMEDIES. 7.1 If a Party fails to perform any material obligation required by this Agreement, the other Party may give written Notice of such failure to the non-performing Party, which Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the failed obligation.
