WHEREAS, the Arkansas Amendment 82 Implementation Act (the “Implementation Act”) requires that the State and the sponsor of a large economic development project enter into an Amendment 82 Agreement to evidence the terms and conditions on which the State will provide Amendment 82 bond financing in exchange for the sponsor's agreeing to make an investment and to locate a new business or substantially expand an existing business in the State in accordance with Amendment 82 and the Implementation Act; and

WHEREAS, in view of such requirement the State and the Sponsor enter into this Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the State and the Sponsor enter into this Agreement confirming the terms and conditions of the parties' binding agreement to proceed with funding for the project proposed by the Sponsor (the “Project” as defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), including the Amendment 82 Financing (as defined in Paragraph 8 hereof), as more fully set forth below:

Project . The Sponsor either owns or leases and operates facilities in Calhoun County, Arkansas for the manufacture of missiles and fire control equipment (collectively, the “Existing Facility”). The Sponsor and persons who employ FTEs in Independent Direct Positions (“Contractors”) currently employ individuals whose work equals in the aggregate approximately 656 FTEs, as such term is defined in Paragraph 5 hereof, in connection with operations at the Existing Facility. FTEs employed in connection with operations at the Existing Facility are referred to in this Agreement as “Existing Facility FTEs.” The Project is proposed to consist of two parts: construction, renovation, equipping and operation of additional facilities at a site near the Existing Facility and in Calhoun County (the “GVAB Facility”) to manufacture ground vehicles for the United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) and other customers (the “GVAB Program”), and construction, renovation, equipping and operation of additions and improvements to the Existing Facility (collectively, the “Additional Facility”) to enable the Sponsor to manufacture products not now made at the Existing Facility (“Additional Products Production”). In this Agreement the term “Project Facilities” refers collectively to the Additional Facility and the GVAB Facility, and the term “Project” refers to the GVAB Program together with Additional Products Production.
Use of Funds for Project; Project Facilities . The Sponsor agrees to use the Grant proceeds in a timely manner to pay Eligible Costs of the Project to be funded from proceeds of the Bonds, and to construct, renovate, and equip the Project Facilities in a manner both timely and appropriate to enable it to carry out the Project efficiently and to satisfy the Commitments (as defined in Paragraph 10 hereof). Plans showing the Project Facilities as the Sponsor intends to complete them are included in Exhibit B hereto. It is agreed and understood that the Sponsor has heretofore expended funds on the Project Facilities, for which it will seek reimbursement from the Grant proceeds.
Project Investment . The Sponsor agrees that its total investment in the Project, including the proceeds of the Grant described in this Agreement, will be at least One Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($125,000,000). The word “investment,” as used in this Paragraph 3, means funds expended by the Sponsor on capital assets and other items directly related to the Project Facilities and the Project. There shall be no time limitation on the Sponsor's commitment to make the full investment. In addition, notwithstanding Ark. Code Ann. § 15-4-3205, contained in the Implementation Act, the Sponsor shall not be subject to any penalty for failing to make the investment in the Project in the full amount specified in this Paragraph.
Employment Commitments . The Sponsor agrees to meet the requirements specified below with respect to employment to be created and maintained in connection with the Project and Existing Facility. The commitments described in this Paragraph 4 are referred to in this Agreement as the “Employment Commitments.” The Employment Commitments will be measured in FTEs.
1. The Sponsor and its Contractors will employ in Direct Positions and Independent Direct Positions FTEs (i) at the Project Facilities or (ii) located within 125 miles of the Project Facilities and within the State of Arkansas (“Project FTEs”; together with the Existing Facility FTEs, the “LM FTEs”).
  1. “Independent Direct Position” refers to FTEs attributed to work performed by a person not employed by the Sponsor if: (a) the Sponsor designates that person as an “Independent Direct Position”; (b) the person holds a position created after the General Assembly's legislative approval of the Grant described herein; (c) the person is employed at the Project Facilities, or at a location within the State of Arkansas and no more than 125 miles from the Project Facilities; (d) the person is employed in connection with operating the Project or the Project Facilities; and (e) the person is employed with the primary objective of providing Integral Component products and services necessary to the operation of the Project, including but not limited to the following operations: (1) manufacturing, assembly, testing, or painting of sub-assemblies or finished products; (2) storage, handling, shipping, or receiving of components or finished products; (3) security or maintenance of buildings or grounds at the Project Facilities; or (4) any other support services at the Project Facilities as approved by the Commission. “Integral Component” means any sub-assembly or final assembly including, but not limited to, drive train, chassis, cab, exterior panels, and cargo beds, but does not include minor parts. The Sponsor shall not designate FTEs attributed to any person an Independent Direct Position if the person's employer (i) includes him or her as an employee in any calculation or count of employees or FTEs for the purpose of qualifying for or receiving any State Incentive or (ii) applies or arranges, after the General Assembly's legislative approval of the Grant, to receive any State Incentive that takes the person or FTE into account. Provided, however, that funds provided for or applied to training pursuant to Paragraph 9 hereof will not be treated as State Incentives for the purpose of this Paragraph 4(a)(ii).
2. For each Project Year, the Sponsor and its Contractors will employ Project FTEs in at least the number shown for such Project Year on Exhibit A (the “Project Employment Commitment”). “Project Year” means a 52-week period shown on Exhibit A and ending on the Sponsor's last payroll date occurring on or before December 31 of the corresponding calendar year.
3. For each Project Year, the Sponsor and its Contractors will employ at least 556 additional LM FTEs (the “Additional Employment Commitment”). In the event total Project FTEs for any Project Year exceed the number required to meet the Project Employment Commitment for such Project Year, the number by which total Project FTEs exceed the number required to meet the Project Employment Commitment (“Excess Project FTEs ”) will be counted in determining whether the Additional Employment Commitment has been met.
Full Time Equivalents . Full time equivalents (“FTEs”) will be computed by dividing the total number of hours worked for the Project Year by 2,080. No person's work hours will be included in any FTE calculation unless (i) during the period employed that person was paid for 30 or more hours of work for each week, on average, and (ii) the person's employer classifies that person's position as “full-time” or “temporary-to-hire” or an equivalent classification.
Compensation Commitment . The Sponsor agrees that Project FTEs will be paid on average at least the average annual compensation shown on Exhibit A, exclusive of non-cash benefits, for the periods shown on Exhibit A (the “Compensation Commitment”).
Time Periods . The Sponsor agrees to commence additional construction and renovation of the Project Facilities promptly after the date of closing, issuance and funding of the Bonds (as defined in Paragraph 8 hereof)(“Closing Date”). The parties anticipate that the Closing Date will occur within 140 calendar days of the date of the award of the JLTV Contract described in Paragraphs 11(e) and 12(e) hereof, but in no event will the Closing Date be later than March 31, 2016, unless extended as described in Paragraph 7(a) hereof (the “Closing Deadline”). The parties anticipate that commercial production at the Project Facilities will commence approximately 10 months after the Closing Date.
1. In the event the conditions to Closing described in Paragraphs 11(e) and 12(e) hereof are not fulfilled by March 31, 2016, the State may, at its option:
  1. Terminate this Agreement and any obligation to provide Amendment 82 Financing, upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the Sponsor.
2. The Project as proposed by the Sponsor depends upon the award by DOD to the Sponsor of a contract for the production of the proposed Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (“JLTV Contract”). If the Sponsor is not awarded the JLTV Contract and after a period of 120 calendar days following the award of the JLTV Contract there are no pending protest or written objections by an interested party to an award of the JLTV Contract or any other objection to the JLTV Contract solicitation and award process as defined in FAR 33.101, including any objection which has been perfected by a filing with: a) the Department of Army or other executive agency of the United States in accordance with Army Federal Acquisition Supplement Part 5133.1, “Protests,” or similar agency regulation, b) the Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) in accordance with 4 CFR Part 21, or c) the U.S. Court of Federal Claims as set forth in that Court's rules, then the State may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement, and any obligation to provide Amendment 82 Financing, upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the Sponsor.
Amendment 82 Financing . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the Amendment 82 Requirements, as defined in Paragraph 11(b) hereof, the State agrees to provide funds in an amount up to Eighty Three Million Dollars ($83,000,000) (the “Grant”), plus such additional sums as may be necessary to fund the training facilities described in Paragraph 9 hereof, to or for the benefit of, the Sponsor (together with the Grant, the “Amendment 82 Financing”). The Amendment 82 Financing will be funded through the issuance by the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (the “Authority”) of general obligation bonds of the State in an amount not exceeding Eighty Seven Million One Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($87,145,000) in the aggregate (the “Bonds”). The Authority will issue the Bonds on behalf of the State pursuant to the powers granted to the Authority by Amendment 82 to the Arkansas Constitution, the Arkansas Amendment 82 Implementation Act, Arkansas Code Annotated 15-4-3201 et seq. (the “Implementation Act”), and the Arkansas Development Finance Authority Act, Arkansas Code Annotated 15-5-101 et seq., in such denominations and series and upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Authority on behalf of the State, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Bonds will be direct general obligations of the State, the payment of debt service on which the full faith and credit of the State shall be pledged. From the proceeds of the Bonds, the following amounts are intended to be funded by the State:
1. Use of Funds . Proceeds of the Grant will be disbursed by the State to the Sponsor for payment or reimbursement of qualifying costs of acquisition, construction, renovation and equipping of the Project Facilities, for infrastructure improvements, and for any other costs incidental to the Project that are eligible for Amendment 82 Financing and that are approved as eligible by the State (“Eligible Costs”). No funds will be disbursed by the State with respect to the Grant without the prior approval of the Commission and the Authority. The Sponsor's anticipated use of funds is described in Exhibit B to this Agreement. The Commission understands that the Sponsor intends the funds to qualify under Section 118 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. The funds described herein are specifically bargained for by and between the Commission and the Sponsor and are provided by the Commission to the Sponsor as an inducement contingent on job creation and retention in Arkansas. The funds are to be used by the Sponsor for capital investments and development related to the Project and not to pay current operating costs or dividends. The Commission shall have no duty arising under the Internal Revenue Code or Internal Revenue Code regulations to monitor the Sponsor's use of the funds afforded by the terms of this Agreement. The Commission shall, however, monitor the Sponsor's use of funds as otherwise provided in this Agreement and by applicable Arkansas law.
2. Other Costs . An amount up to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) may be funded through the Bonds for the purpose of paying reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of the State in connection with issuance of the Bonds (determined by the Authority, in its sole and absolute discretion), and reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of the State in connection with the approval and accomplishment of the Project and the Amendment 82 Financing (determined by the Commission, in its sole and absolute discretion), specifically including the administrative fee of the Authority and the fees and costs due to those trustees, agents, underwriters, attorneys, financial advisors, accountants and consultants performing services on behalf of the State in connection with the issuance of the Bonds and the Project. The Sponsor shall not be responsible for any of such costs.
3. Disbursement Procedure . The Grant will be disbursed by the State to, or for the benefit of, the Sponsor in one (1) or more disbursements. The Sponsor may request a disbursement from the Grant by submitting a request for disbursement to the Commission and the Authority (“Request for Disbursement”).
  1. Upon completion of the verification by the State of the costs and expenses identified in a Request for Disbursement, the Authority shall send a notice of payment to the Sponsor setting forth the amount approved by the Commission and the Authority to be disbursed by the State with respect to the costs and expenses identified in a Request for Disbursement. Within ten (10) business days after the date of a notice of payment, the State will cause the amount set forth in the notice of payment to be disbursed to the Sponsor by wire transfer to an account of the Sponsor designated in the Request for Disbursement. All Requests for Disbursement must be submitted by the Sponsor to the State no later than forty-eight (48) months after the Closing Date.
  2. The Sponsor shall further provide the State with full access to all such documents, records, and other information as are reasonably necessary for the State to perform any audit required by the Implementation Act, and including, without limitation, verification that each cost and expense identified with respect to a Request for Disbursement has been actually paid or incurred by the Sponsor, the reasonableness of the nature and amount of the cost and expense, and whether the cost and expense may be properly characterized as Eligible Costs.
  3. The State will cooperate with Sponsor in observing security protocols, as set forth in Exhibit C, in place at the Project Facilities and the Existing Facilities, to the extent consistent with Arkansas law.
Training Facilities . From the Amendment 82 Financing the State will provide to or for the benefit of Southern Arkansas University Tech or another similarly qualified provider the amount of One Million, Six Hundred Forty-five Thousand Dollars ($1,645,000) to be used for construction and equipping of facilities to be located at Southern Arkansas University Tech or in the vicinity of the Project for the training of individuals, including without limitation individuals who may fill Direct Positions or Independent Direct Positions at the Project Facilities or in connection with the Project.
Grant Recapture . The Sponsor understands that all of the economic incentives being offered to the Sponsor as an inducement to locate the Project in Calhoun County represent an expectation by the Commission that the Sponsor will timely meet the Project Employment Commitment, the Additional Employment Commitment, and the Compensation Commitment (together the “Commitments”). In the event the Sponsor fails to cause any of the Commitments to be achieved and maintained, the Sponsor will pay to the State certain amounts (the “Repayment Obligation”) to be calculated based upon the formulas set forth in this Paragraph 10 (the “Repayment Calculations”). The total amount to be paid by the Sponsor pursuant to any or all of the Repayment Calculations will not exceed the lesser of Eighty Three Million Dollars ($83,000,000) or the total amount of the Grant disbursed by the State pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof. Subject to the right to cure provided in Paragraph 10(e) hereof, any Repayment Obligation due to be paid by the Sponsor to the State under this Paragraph 10 shall be paid immediately upon written notice from the State. For the purpose of the Recapture Calculations the Additional Employment Commitment will be calculated by adding any Excess Project FTEs to Existing Facility FTEs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Project FTEs counted toward the Additional Employment Commitment will be subject to the Compensation Commitment, and the Recapture Calculations.
1. Project Employment Commitment . If the Sponsor fails to meet the Project Employment Commitment for any Project Year, it will repay a portion of the Grant equal to 1.3% (32.5% of 4%) of the total amount of the Grant disbursed as of the end of the Project Year, multiplied by one minus the ratio of the number of Project FTEs for the Project Year to the agreed number of Project FTEs set forth in Exhibit A for that period:
2. Additional Employment Commitment . If the Sponsor fails to meet the Additional Employment Commitment for any Project Year, it will repay a portion of the Grant equal to 1.3% (32.5% of 4%) of the total amount of the Grant disbursed as of the end of the Project Year, multiplied by one minus the ratio of the sum of (a) the number of Existing Facility FTEs, and (b) the number of Excess Project FTEs for that Project Year, to 556:
3. Compensation Commitment . If the Sponsor fails to meet the Compensation Commitment for any Project Year, it will repay a portion of the Grant equal to 1.4% (35% of 4%) of the total amount of the Grant disbursed as of the end of the Project Year, multiplied by one minus the ratio of the actual average annual wage for Project FTEs (including Excess Project FTEs) for that Project Year to the agreed average annual wage for Project FTEs set forth in Exhibit A for that Project Year:
4. Contract Termination . If the DOD terminates, rescinds or withdraws (“termination”) any or all contracts with the Sponsor relating to the GVAB Program (singularly or collectively, “DOD contract”) due to the Sponsor's failure to perform any DOD contract to the satisfaction of DOD, or due to any administrative or judicial decision based in whole or in part upon acts or omissions of the Sponsor or its agents or material defects in Sponsor's bid, and Sponsor determines that, as a result of such termination it will not be able to meet any one or more of the Commitments or any other material obligation to the State of Arkansas described in this Agreement, the Sponsor will, upon written notice from the State, repay a portion of the Grant equal to 4% of the total amount of the Grant disbursed as of the termination date multiplied by the difference of the number of Project Years then remaining on the Commitments (as set forth in Exhibit A) less the number of Project Years, if any, deducted under Paragraph 10(f) hereof.
5. Unavoidable Failure Cure Period . In the event the Sponsor fails in any Project Year to meet any one or more of the Commitments, and such failure is a result of events beyond the Sponsor's reasonable control (“Unavoidable Failure”), the Sponsor may cure the failure.
  1. In order to cure an Unavoidable Failure the Sponsor must (A) promptly notify the State in writing of the reason for the Unavoidable Failure and that the Sponsor elects to cure the failure, and (B) meet each failed Commitment in the first or second Project Year following the Project Year in which the Unavoidable Failure occurred. In the event an Unavoidable Failure is cured, the Repayment Obligation for the Project Year in which the Unavoidable Failure occurred will be waived by the State.
  2. If the Sponsor elects to cure an Unavoidable Failure but fails to cure within the time allowed, the related outstanding Repayment Obligation will be due immediately upon the earlier of written notice from the State, or written notice from the Sponsor to the State that the Sponsor will not be able to timely cure the Unavoidable Failure.
6. Reduction of Recapture Period . If the Sponsor has for any two complete consecutive Project Years both (a) exceeded the Project Employment Commitment by at least 25%, and (b) met each of the other Commitments, and if the Sponsor is then in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Amendment 82 Agreement, then two Project Years will be deducted from the end of the schedule described in Exhibit A, shortening the time during which the Sponsor must meet the Commitments. No one Project Year may be included in more than one such reduction calculation.
7. Events of Default . If at any time after Project Year 5 (as described in Exhibit A ) the number of Project FTEs (including any Excess Project FTEs) is less than 20% of the Project Employment Commitment in any two Consecutive Project Years (“Substantial Default”), and if such Substantial Default is not a result of an Unavoidable Failure, the Sponsor will, upon written notice from the State, repay a portion of the Grant equal to the sum of: (a) 4% of the total amount of the Grant disbursed as of the termination date multiplied by the difference of the number of Project Years then remaining on the Commitments (as set forth in Exhibit A) less the number of Project Years, if any, deducted under Paragraph 10(f) hereof; and (b) the amount of all interest accruing and to accrue on the Bonds, at their respective coupon rates, for the period of time between the first day of the year following the Project Year in which the Substantial Default first occurred and the first call date for the Bonds.
