Exhibit"B"

Those rights recorded against the Property to secure performance of the public entities under
certain economic incentive agreements, including rights under any (a) covenants, conditions and
restrictions; (b) easements; (c) transfer documents that include a determinable interest, reversion
or other similar right; or (d) a deed of trust to secure performance.
In order to ensure that there are adequate public controls in place to ensure that the grant

accomplished and to protect the public's investment, to the extent bond proceeds financed the
acquisition by the City of the Property or the improvements the City constructed on such
Property, the land and improvements are restricted to uses consistent with those identified in the
documents authorizing the issuance of such bonds (e.g., if bond proceeds constructed a
warehouse/distribution facility located on the Property, then the Property may only be used for
warehouse/distribution uses for so long as such bonds remain outstanding). Once such bonds are
paid, this restriction shall automatically terminate. Evidence of payment of such bonds may be
recorded by Grantee in the Denton County deed records.
