Sundbeck, Jr. President Southern Ionics, Inc. P.O. Drawer 1137 · West Point, MS 39773 Dear Mr. Sundbeck: The Industrial District Agreement between Southern Ionics, Inc. and the City of La Porte, dated January 1, 1987, the term of which was extended by the U. S. District Court in Houston to a date "four years and nine months after a final, non-appealable order is entered in the state permit litigation," will expire, by the City's calculations, on January 18, 2000. The City of La Porte's current Industrial District Agreements with its other industrial companies, expire on December 31, 2000. The City of La Porte proposes to extend the term of the Southern Ionics, Inc. Industrial District Agreement to the common expiration date of December 31, 2000. Southern Ionics, Inc. would then be included with the other industries in negotiations for renewal of existing Industrial District Agreements, which negotiations we anticipate will begin in 1999. I have enclosed with this letter a short form of extension of the existing agreement. If this agreement is satisfactory with Southern Ionics, Inc., I would appreciate your signing and returning the enclosed multiple copies to me, and I will have the matter placed on a City of La Porte City council agenda for formal approval, and return to your firm an executed copy. If you have any questions, please give me a call. CITY OF LA PORTE By: ~1. ~ Robert T.
