including the provision of Sponsorship Benefits described herein, the CDC agrees to
pay the GACC the total amount of compensation of ($21,500) during the CDC's fiscal
year 2015-2016, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Before the CDC
shall have any obligation to make any payment to GACC with respect to any given
event described in Section 4 of this Agreement, the GACC must timely provide the
CDC with a letter of intent—signed by a GACC representative authorized to
contractually bind the GACC—as described in Section 3.01 of this Agreement and the
GACC must submit said letter of intent to the CDC before the applicable deadline for
such event as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement. The total ($21,500) amount of

payment being determined by the CDC by electing one of the two following options
per GACC event: (1) the estimated compensation amount set forth in Section 4 of this
AGREEMENT FOR SPONSORSHIP COMMITMENT FOR 2015-2016 PAGE 4 OF 9
Agreement; or (2) a different amount requested by GACC that is set forth in the letter
of intent described in Section 3.01 of this Agreement and attached hereto as Exhibit A
If the CDC decides to honor any GACC request for a different amount than what is set
forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, the CDC shall thereafter have discretion to alter
the amount of payments it makes with respect to any remaining events so that its
overall compensation paid to the Chamber under this Agreement does not exceed
$21,500 during the CDC's 2015-2016 fiscal year. The GACC shall provide the CDC
with a written receipt.
Section 6. Licenses and Permits
The GACC shall obtain and pay for any and all permits, licenses, disposal fees, or any
other costs required for any of the GACC events and to fulfill this Agreement. The
GACC shall take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all state, federal, and
local permitting and licensing requirements are met at all times during all GACC
events. The GACC must comply with all federal and state laws, and local ordinances
while organizing and participating in the GACC events.
Section 7. Independent Contractor Status/ Liability/ Indemnity
It is expressly understood and agreed that the CDC has no right of control,
supervision, or direction over any work performed by the GACC relating in any way to
the GACC's undertaking of any of its events (the "Work"), including but not limited to
its employees, agents, contractors, or its subcontractors, nor does the CDC have any
control, supervision or direction of the means, methods, sequences, procedures, and
techniques utilized to complete any of the Work. There shall be no joint control over
the Work. The GACC agrees to fully defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
CDC from any claim, proceeding, cause of action, judgment, penalty, or any
other cost or expense arising or growing out of, associated or in connection
with the Work. The indemnification includes, but is not limited to, attorney fees
incurred by the CDC in defending itself or in enforcing this Agreement. By
entering into this Agreement, GACC waives all rights and remedies in law or in equity
except to seek enforcement of specific performance, without any right to
reimbursement of costs or attorney fees, of the obligations under this Agreement. This
provision is not intended to and does not waive any of the CDC's governmental
immunities, including immunity from suit and liability.
Section 8. Insurance
GACC shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Agreement insurance against
claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in
conjunction with the performance of the Work or in any way related to the GACC's
undertakings performed in connection with the GACC events, including but not limited
to coverage for GACC, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors, or
subcontractors. The form and limits of such insurance, together with the underwriter
thereof in each case, must be acceptable to the CDC but regardless of such
AGREEMENT FOR SPONSORSHIP COMMITMENT FOR 2015-2016 PAGE 5 OF 9
acceptance it shall be the responsibility of the GACC to maintain adequate insurance
coverage at all times. Failure of the GACC to maintain adequate coverage shall not
relieve the GACC of any contractual responsibility or obligation. Each policy shall
provide that there will be no alteration or modification which reduces coverage in any
way prior to 30 days written notice being given to the CDC. A copy of each policy, or
at the CDC's discretion, a certificate of insurance, shall be filed with the CDC
Secretary.
Section 9. Default
9.01 Events of Default
The occurrence, at any time during the term of the Agreement, of any one or more of
the following events, shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:
(a) the failure of GACC to timely provide the CDC with a properly executed letter of
intent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to each event;
(b) the failure of the GACC event to occur on the scheduled date, or—if the event
cannot occur on the originally scheduled date due to inclement weather—the failure of
the GACC event to be rescheduled and occur in accordance with Section 18 of this
Agreement;
(c) the failure of GACC to provide the CDC with all Sponsorship Benefits enumerated
in this Agreement for each event;
(d) the failure of GACC to meet each promotional benchmark requirement;
(e) the failure of the CDC to pay the GACC according to the compensation terms of
each event when such payment may become due; and

representations or warranties contained herein or GACC's failure to perform any
material obligation contained herein.
9.02 Uncured Events of Default
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by CDC that can be cured by the
immediate payment of money to GACC, CDC shall have 10 calendar days from
receipt of written notice from GACC of an occurrence of such Event of Default to cure
same before GACC may exercise any of its remedies as set forth in this Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by GACC that does not include the failure
to abide by a deadline or to a failure described in Section 9.01(b), it shall have 10
calendar days from receipt of written notice from CDC of an occurrence of such Event
of Default to cure same, or, if same cannot be effectively cured within 10 calendar
days and fully and effectively provide CDC with the Sponsorship Benefits, the default
AGREEMENT FOR SPONSORSHIP COMMITMENT FOR 2015-2016 PAGE 6 OF 9
may be cured by refunding CDC's entire sponsorship fee, unless such Event of
Default creates or contributes to an emergency situation in which injury to persons or
property reasonably appears imminent, in which case CDC is immediately entitled to
exercise or seek all rights available to it at law or in equity. If with respect to any given
event set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, there is a failure of GACC to meet a
deadline or a failure described in Section 9.01(b), the CDC shall be entitled to a full
refund of any amounts paid by the CDC to GACC for such event.

educational institutions." A new and unique approach would be to financially
support AISD's high school CTE program (Career Training Education). The CTE
program gives students a hands-on and interactive exposure to skills needed to
enter the service industry. The focus of this program is for both students who are
college bound or those students who, upon graduation, are career -ready.
Ms. Kelly spoke before the board and stated that the high school population is
now 805 students and that the AudioNisual CTE courses are a new program at
the high school. Such programs will provide students with a broad scope of skills
in the fields of graphic, audio/visual production (the fastest growing in the state of
Texas), printing and publishing, and visual arts. The CTE program is designed to
be a four-year program with certification. An endorsement is placed on the
student's diploma if a certain level of achievement is met. Already, 130 students
have requested the AudioNisual CTE courses for the coming school year.
The AISD's immediate needs include: a $45,000 Mac Lab and one (1) Mac
teacher; $1,500 for cameras; $500 for vocal mic and stand; $750 for five tripods;
$500 for a professional tripod and $1,200 for 3 -point light kits. This totals
$49,450. The beginning students need to have the Mac Lab in order to learn
industry standards.
The new AudioNisual CTE Teacher, has previously worked for DreamWorks and
more recently, a charter school in Greenville. Already, he has plans to produce a
"news" segment for the high school and partner with various school departments
the community to create video, ad, or other marketing projects for the students.
The Directors felt that this would be a good project to fund. Staff and Legal
counsel will draft an agreement and set a special meeting to take action.
5. Presentation from Felicia Flagg, organizer of the Keep Anna Beautiful
program.
Ms. Flagg presented a thorough outline of all the program opportunities and
awards affiliated with "Keep Texas Beautiful." Mr. Richard Brozewicz presented
the financial needs. Ms. Flagg is looking to fundraise to become an official Keep
Anna Beautiful affiliate. Things to be done and costs involved are: forming a non-
profit organization ($400 is paid just to the IRS as an users fee); paying
additional legal fees as needed; paying an annual $100 fee to the state KTB
program; and formulating a budget for future costs like supplies waste disposal.
Ms. Flagg listed several ideas for fundraising as well as several ideas to engage
the community. Ms. Flagg would like to have an art contests for elementary and
middle school students, re -purposed garbage as art sculptures, create a butterfly
garden, create a community garden, and encourage sub -divisions to sponsor a
"Yard of Month" contest. Under the present bylaws, the CDC has limitations on
funding fundraising. Ms. Flagg will meet with Ms. Perkins to clarify how the CDC
can support her ideas.

6. Presentation/Discussion from John Houcek regarding the condition of the
entry road and parking area at Natural Springs.
Mr. Houcek gave each director an aerial map as a visual aid to his discussion.
Right now, the road leading into Natural Springs Park and the parking lot is
gravel. Mr. Houcek is interested in paving the roadway and improving the parking
lot. A discussion was held regarding the future of FM -455 and its planned medi-
an breaks. Currently, to add a concrete driveway and parking lot the proposed
cost would be $144,000 according to Mr. Schwanke, Parks Director. The Parks
Board does not have a budget but there is a Park Trust Fund that can aid in fund-
ing some park improvements. Ms. Perkins informed the Board that there are dis-
cussion about improvement to be made to Natural Springs which include: a con-
crete driveway and parking lot, public restrooms, city offices for park staff, as well
as a dog park. After the road work is completed along FM 455, the current park
driveway can only be accessed by driving east on FM -455 or by parking in
Brookshire's lot. City staff has discussed adding an entrance to Natural Springs
Park that would align with the future median break at Buffalo Bill Drive.
