Subject to the foregoing and to the later provisions of this Agreement, city does further covenant, agree and guarantee that such industrial district, to the extent that it covers said Land lying within said District and not now within the corporate limits of City, shall be immune from annexation by 'C~ty,during the, term hereof (except as hereinafter provided) and shall have no right to have extended to it any services by City, and that all Land, including that which has been heretofore annexed, shall not have extended to it by ordinance any rules and regulations (a) governing plats and subdivisions of land, (b) prescribing any building, electrical, plumbing or inspection code or codes, or (c) attempting to exercise in any manner whatever control over the conduct of business thereon; provided, however, it is agreed that City shall have the right to institute or intervene in any administrative and/or judicial proceeding authorized by the Texas Water Code, the Texas Clean Air Act, the Texas Health & safety Code, or other federal or state environmental laws, rules or regulations, to the same extent and to the same intent and effect as if all Land covered by this Agreement were not subject to the Agreement. II. In the event that any portion of the Land has heretofore been annexed by City, Company agrees to render and pay fuli City ad valorem taxes on such annexed Land and improvements, and tangible personal property. Under the terms of the Texas Property Tax Code (S.B. 621, Acts of ,,- the 65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979, as amended), the appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed portion of Land, improvements, and tangible personal property shall be determined by the Harris County Appraisal District. The parties hereto recognize that said Appraisal District has no authority to appraise the Land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area for the purpose of computing the "in lieu" payments hereunder. Therefore, the parties agree that the appraisal of the Land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area shall be conducted by City, at city's expense, by an independent appraiser of city's selection. The parties recognize that in making such appraisal for "in lieu" payment purposes, such appraiser must of necessi ty appraise the entire (annexed and unannexed) Land, improvements, ~nd tangible personal property. Nothing herein contained shall ever be interpreted as lessening the authority of the Harris County Appraisal District to establish the appraised value of Land, improvements, and tangible personal 2 . e property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes. III. A. On or before April 15, 1994, and on or before each April 15th thereafter, unless an extension is granted. in accordance with the Texas Property Tax Code, through and including April 15, 2000, Company shall provide City with a written description of its Land and all improvements and tangible personal property located on the Land as of the immediately preceding January 1st, stating its opinion of the Property's market value, and being sworn to by an authorized officer of the Company authorized to do so, or company's duly authorized agent, (the company's "Rendition"). Company may file such Rendition on a Harris countY,Appraisal District rendition form, or similar form. The properties which the Company must render and upon which the "in lieu of" taxes are assessed are more fully described in subsections 1, 2, and 3 of subsection D, of this Paragraph III (sometimes collectively called the "property"). A failure by Company to file a Rendition as provided for in this paragraph, shall constitute a waiver by Company for the current tax year, of all rights of protest and appeal under the terms of this Agreement. B. As part of its rendition, Company shall furnish .to City a wr i tten report of the names and, addresses of all persons and entities who store any tangible personal property on the Land by bailment, lease, consignment, or other arrangement with Company ("products in storage"), and are in the possession or under the management of Company on January 1st of each Value Year, further giving a description of such products in storage. C.

(a) On any Substantial Increase in value of the Land, improvements, and tangible personal property (excluding inventory) dedicated to new construction, in excess of the appraised value of same on January 1, 1993, resulting from new construction (exclusive of construction in progress, which shall be exempt from taxation), for each Value Year following completion of construction in progress, an amount equal to Thirty percent (30%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to City if all of said new construction had been within the corporate limits of city and appraised by City I s i~dependent appraiser. (b) A Substantial Increase in value of the Land and improvements as used in subparagraph 2(a) above, is defined as an increase in value that is the lesser of either: i. at least Five percent (5%) of the total appraised value of Land and improvements, on January 1, 1993; or ii. a cumulative value of at least $3,500,000.00. For the purposes of this Agreement, multiple projects that are completed in a Value Year can be cumulated to arrive at the amount for the increase in value. -. 3.

In that event, City shall have the right to commence immediate annexation proceedings as to all of Company's property covered by this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Company agrees that if the Texas Municipal Act, section 42.044, Texas Local Government Code, is amended after January 1, 1994, or any new legislation is thereafter enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas which imposes greater restrictions on the right of City to annex land belonging to Company or imposes further obligations on City in connection therewith after the annexation of such land, Company wi1l waive the right to require city to comply with any such additional restrictions or obligations and the rights of the parties shall be then determined in accordance with the provisions of said Texas Municipal Annexation Act as the same 'r existed January 1, 1994. v.

Should Company give such notice of disagreement, Company shall also submit to the City with such notice a written statement setting forth what Company believes to be the market value of Company's hereinabove described property. Both parties agree to thereupon enter into good fai th negotiations in an attempt to reach an agreement as to, the market value of Company's property for "in lieu" purposes hereunder.

District Court for the Southern District of Texas appoint the third arbitrator who, (as the "Impartial Arbitrator") shall preside over the arbitration proceeding.

The Board shall hear and consider all relevant and material evidence on that issue including expert opinion, and shall render its written decision as promptly as practicable. That decision shall then be final and binding upon the parties, subject only to judicial review as may be available under the Texas General Arbitration Act (Articles 224-238, Vernon' s Annotated Revised Civil statutes of Texas).

In~ustrial District Agreement - 2 WHEREAS, pursuant to its policy, City has enacted Ordinance No. 729, designating portions of the area located in its extraterritorial jurisdiction as the "Battleground Industrial District of La Porte, Texas," and Ordinance No. 842, designating portions of the area located in its extraterritorial jurisdiction as the "Bayport Industrial District of La Porte, Texas," hereinafter collectively called "District," such Ordinances being in compliance with the Municipal Annexation Act of Texas, Article 970a, Vernon's Annotated Revised Civil Statutes of Texas; and WHEREAS, City desires to encourage the expansion and growth of industrial plants within said Districts and for such purpose desires to enter into this Agreement with Company pursuant to Resolution adopted by the City Council of said City and recorded in the official minutes of said City: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements of the parties contained herein and pursuant to the authority granted under the Municipal Annexation Act and the Ordinances of City referred to above, City and Company hereby agree with each other as follows: I. City covenants, agrees and guarantees that during the term of this Agreement, provided below, and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, said District shall continue and retain its extraterritorial status as an industrial district, at least to the extent that the same covers the land described above and belonging, to Company and its assigns, and unless and until the status of said land, or a portion or portions thereof, as an industrial district may be changed pursuant to the terms of this agreement. Subject to the foregoing and to the later provisions of this Agreement, City does further covenant, agree and guarantee that such industrial district, to the extent that it covers said land lying within said District and not now within the corporate limits of City, or to be annexed under the provisions of Article II hereof, shall be immune from e e In,dustrial District Agreement - 3 annexation by City during the term hereof (except as hereinafter provided) and shall . . have no right to have extended to it any services by City, and that all of said land, including that which has been heretofore or which may be annexed pursuant to the later provisions of this Agreement, shall not have extended to it by ordinance any rules and regulations (a) governing plats and subdivisions of land, (b) prescribing any building, electrical, plumbing or inspection code or codes, or (c) attempting to exercise in any manner whatever control over the conduct of business thereon; provided, however, it is agreed that City shall have the right to institute or intervene in. any judicial proceeding authorized by the Texas Water Code or the Texas Clean Air Act to the same extent and to the same intent and effect as if all land covered by this Agreement were located within the corporate limits of City. II. 11.584 acres of the hereinabove described property as set forth in Exhibit "C" attached hereto and incorporated herein has heretofore been annexed by City. Company agrees to render and pay full City ad valorem taxes on such annexed land and improvements, and tangible personal property. Under the terms of the Texas Property Tax Code (S.B. 621, Acts of the 65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979, as amended), the appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed portion of land, improvements, and tangible personal property shall be determined by the Harris County Appraisal District. The parties hereto recognize that said District has no authority to appraise the land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area for the purpose of computing the "in lieu" payments hereunder. Therefore, the parties agree that the appraisal of the land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area shall be conducted by City, at City's expense, by an independent appraiser of City's selection. The parties recognize that in making such appraisal for "in lieu" payment purposes, such appraiser must of necessity appraise the entire (annexed and un annexed) land, improvements, and tangible personal property. Company agrees to render and pay full City ad valorem taxes on such annexed land, improvements, and tangible personal property. e .. Industrial District Agreement - 4 Company also agrees to render to City and pay an amount "in lieu of taxes" on company's land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed area equal to the sum of: (1) Fifty percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to City if all of the hereinabove described property which existed on January 1, 1986, had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised each year by City's independent appraiser; and (2) Thirty percent (30%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to City on any increase in value of the hereinabove described property, in excess of the appraised value of same on January 1, 1986, resulting from new construction and new acquisitions of tangible person~l property, (exclusive of Construction in Progress, which shall be exempt from taxation), if all of said new construction and acquisitions had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised by City's independent appraiser; With the sum of (1) and (2) reduced by the amount of City's ad valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by appraisal by the Harris county Appraisal District. Nothing herein contained shall ever be construed as in derogation of the authority of the Harris County Appraisal District to establish the appraised value of land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes. III. This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day of January, 1987, and continue thereafter until December 31, 1993, unless extended for an additional period of periods of time upon mutual consent of Company and City as provided by the Municipal Annexation Act; provided, however, that in the event this agreement is not so . ,. Industrial District Agreement - 5 extended for an additional period or periods of time on or before August 31, 1993, the agreement of City not to annex property of Company within the District shall terminate. In that event, City shall have the right to commence immediate annexation proceedings as to all of Company's property covered by this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the terms and provisions of this agreement, and in such event Company agrees that if the Texas Municipal Act, Article 970a (V.A.T.S.), as amended after January 1, 1980, or any new legislation is thereafter enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas which imposes greater restrictions on the right of City to annex land belonging to Company or impose further obligations on City in connection therewith after the annexation of such land, Company will waive the right to require City to comply with any such additional restrictions or obligations and the rights of the parties shall be then determined in accordance with the provisions of said Texas Municipal Annexation Act as the same existed January 1, 1980. IV. This Agreement may be extended for an additional period or periods by agreement between City and Company and/or its assigns even though it is not extended by agreement between City and all of the owners of all land within the District of which it is a part. In this connection, City hereby expresses its belief that industrial district agreements of the kind made herein are conducive to the development of existing and future industry and are to the best interest of all citizens of City and encourage future City Councils to enter into future industrial district agreements and to extend for additional periods permitted by law this Industrial District Agreement upon request of Company or its assigns; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate either party hereto to agree to an extension of this Agreement. V. Company agrees to pay all ad valorem taxes, and all "in lieu of taxes" payments hereunder, to City on or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof. It e e IJ}.dustrial District Agreement - 6 is agreed that presently the ratio of ad valorem tax ass~ssment used by City is one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of property. Any change in such ratio used by City shall be reflected in any subsequent computations hereunder. This agreement shall be subject to all provisions of law relating to determination of value of land, improvements, and tangible personal property, for tax purposes (e.g., rendition, assessment, Harris County Appraisal District review and appeal procedures, court appeals, etc.) for purposes of fixing and determining the amount of ad valorem tax payments, and the amount of "in lieu of tax" payments hereunder, except as otherwise provided in Articles II and VI hereof. VI. (A) In the event Company, elects to protest the valuation for tax purposes set on its said properties by City or by the Harris County Appraisal District for any year or years during the terms hereof, nothing in this agreement shall preclude such protest and Company shall have the right to take all legal steps desired by it to reduce the same. Notwithstanding such protest by Company, Company agrees to pay to City on or before the date therefor hereinabove provided, at least the total of (a) the total amount of ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu of taxes" on the unannexed portions of Company's hereinabove-described property which would be due by Company to City in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the basis of renditions which shall be filed by Company on or before March 31 of each year during the term of this Agreement, with both the City and the Harris County Appraisal District (as the case may be) for that year. When the City or Harris County Appraisal District (as the case may be) valuation on said property of Company has been so finally determined, either as the result of final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as the result of other final conclusion of the controversy, then within thirty (30) days thereafter Company shall make payment to City of any additional payment due hereunder based on such final valuation, together with applicable penalties, interests, and costs. e e ..... ~ . IJ;1dustrial District Agreement - 7 (B) Should Company disagree with any appraisal made by the independent appraiser selected by City pursuant to Article II above (w~ich shall be given in writing to Company), Company shall, within twenty (20) days of receiving such copy, give written notice to the City of such disagreement. In the event Company does not give such written notice of disagreement within such time period, the appraisal made by said independent appraiser shall be final and controlling for purposes of the determination of "in lieu of taxes" payments to be made under this Agreement. Should company give such notice of disagreement, Company shall also submit to the City with such notice a written statement setting forth what Company believes to be the market value of Company's hereinabove described property. Both parties agree to thereupon enter into good faith negotiations in an attempt to reach an agreement as to the market value of Company's property for "in lieu" purposes hereunder. If, after the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date the notice of disagreement was received by City, the parties have not reached agreement as to such market value, the parties agree to submit the dispute to final arbitration as provided in subparagraph (1) of this Article VI(B). Notwithstanding any such disagreement by Company, Company agrees to pay to City on or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof, at least the total of (a) the ad valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu" payments which would be due hereunder on the basis of Company's valuations rendered and/or submitted to City by Company hereunder, or the total assessment and "in lieu of taxes" thereon for the last preceding year, whichever is higher. (1) A Board of Arbitrators shall be created composed of one person named by Company, one by City, and a third to be named by those two. In case of no agreement on this arbitrator in 10 days, the parties will join in a written request that the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas appoint the third arbitrator who, (as the "Impartial Arbitrator") shall preside over the arbitration proceeding. The sole issue to be determined in the arbitration shall be resolution of the difference between the parties as to the fair market value of Company's property for calculation of the "in lieu" payment and total payment hereunder for the year in question. The Board shall hear and consider all e e .....-.. Industrial District Agreement - 8 relevant and material evidence on that issue including expert opinion, and shall render its written decision as promptly as practicable. That decision shall then be final and binding upon the parties, s~bject only to judicial review as may be available under the Texas General Arbitration Act (Articles 224-238, Vernon's Annotated Revised Civil Statutes of Texas). Costs of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the Company and the City, provided that each party shall bear its own attorneys fees. (C) Should the provisions of Article II of this Agreement become impossible of enforcement because of (1) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Texas Property Code (S.B. 621, Acts of the 65th Texas Legislature. Regular Session, 1979), or any relevant provision thereof, or (2) because of any material delay or failure to act on the part of the Harris County Appraisal District, then and in any of such events, all payments under this Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Article II hereof; anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding. VII. City shall be entitled to a tax: lien on Company's above-described property, all improvements thereon, and all tangible personal property thereon, in the event of default in payment of "in lieu of taxes" payments hereunder, which shall accrue penalty and interest in like manner as delinquent taxes, and which shall be collectible by City in the same manner as provided by law for delinquent taxes. VIII. Company agrees to provide to City at Company's expense, a survey plat and field note description of the land and improvements which Company petitions to be annexed in accordance with the provisions of Article II above. Such annexation tract shall be It Industrial District Agreenu;mt - 9 - contiguous to a point on the existing corporate limits of La Porte. In the event of failure of Company to file either such petition, or such description, City shall have the right by notice in writing to Company to cancel and terminate this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon City and Company, and upon Company's successors and assigns, affiliates and subsidiaries, and shall remain in force whether Company sells, assigns, or in any other manner disposes of, either voluntarily or by operation of law, all or any part of the property belonging to it within the territory hereinabove described, and the agreements herein contained shall be held to be covenants running with the land owned by Company situated within said territory, for so long as this Agreement or any extension thereof remains in force. x. If City enters into an Agreement with any other landowner with respect to an industrial district or enters into a renewal of any existing industrial district agreements after the effective date hereof and while this Agreement is in effect, which contains terms and provisions more favorable to the landowner than those in this agreement, Company and its assigns shall have the right to amend this Agreement and City agrees to amend same to embrace the more favorable terms of such agreement or renewal agreement; provided, however, City reserves the right to enter into such agreements or renewal agreements with other landowners not covered by existing agreements, containing a percentage of ad valorem taxes more favorable to the landowner than that contained in Paragraph II, Subparagraph 3 (2) hereof, and Company and its assigns shall nQ! have the right to amend this agreement to embrace the more favorable percentage of ad valorem taxes contained in such agreement or renewal thereof, than that contained in Paragraph II, Subparagraph 3 (2) hereof. City may extend more favorable terms to landowners covered by existing contracts only to the extent such favorable terms apply to any increase in value of the hereinabove described property, in excess of the appraised value of same on January 1, 1986, as described in Paragraph II, Subparagraph 3 (2) hereof.

CITY MANAGER OFFICE November 7, 1990 Mr. Bill Smoot Arco Pipeline Company Arco Building Independence, KS 67301 Re: Land Areas in Bayport Industrial District Dear.Bill: We rece i ved your letter toady and I have made the calculations you requested. As'I see it, Tract III for 2.803 acres is actually in the Fairmont Parkway right-of-way and not in the Bayport Industrial District. ............ . ./ Tract I has 3.569 acres in the 100 ft. strip that the City ot La Porte annexed. Therefore that would leave 45.797 acres in the Bayport Industrial District. The south strip annexation does not cut across this tract. Tract II has 3.148 acres in the north 100 ft. strip annexation and 4.867 acres in the south 100 ft. strip that is annexed. It also has 18.825 acres in the George B. McKinstry survey which is south and out of the Bayport Industrial Distr ict. This leaves 90.441 acres from this tract in the Bayport Industrial District. It is my opinion that you can take a copy of the property plat you sent me, mark the annexed strips as you did for me, have the notes I penci led on the copy I'm returning to you typed onto your copy, make a note that the 2.803 acre tract III is not included, and submit it with a copy of the Special Warranty Deed and Exhibit A for the Deed to the City attorney, Mr. Knox Askins. We will revise the tax bills you have received to show the correct annexed areas (11.584 acres) and then we wi 11 send you an "in-lieu ~f taxes" bill on 136.238 acres. - :....~ e e Page 2 November 7, 1990 Mr. Bill Smoot Arco Pipeline Company Independence, KS Re: Land areas in Bayport Industrial District, If you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance, please call me.

CITY MANAGER OFFICE Mr. Hugh Landrum 1320 South Loop West Houston, TX 77054 '\, . ~ Dear Mr. Landrum: Re: Legal descriptions required for a proposed Industrial District Agreement involving APL's three tracts totalling 169.45 acres, more or less, in the William M. Jones Survey, A-482, and George B. McKinstry League, A-47, Harris County, TX. Our File: F 22 B 19. Please find enclosed one copy of APL's Drawing No. 2.314.391 upon which I have indicated the approximate boundary lines of "Parcel "A"" as described in the City of LaPorte's Ordinance No. 841 dated January 5, 1970. Also enclosed for your use is a copy of Special Warranty Deed from Atlantic Richfield Company to APL which includes the metes and bounds descriptions of all three tracts. As we discussed on the phone yesterday, this office has no records indicating the location of the city limits of the City of LaPorte in relationship to our property lines on these tracts. However, if it could be assumed tpat the remainders of those three tracts which were not disannexed by Ordinance No. 841 and subsequently designated "Bayport Industrial District No.1" by Ordinance No. 842 do actually lie wholly within the city limits of LaPorte, I would conclude that all of "TRAcr III" plus 100-foot wide strips off of the north boundaries . of "TRAcr I" and "TRAcr II" plus all that part of ''TRAcr II" lying south of a line being parallel and 100 feet nqrth of the south line of the Wm. M. Jones Survey, A-482, would lie within said city limits. 1 The total acreage would of course equal much more than the 4.2 acres which was previously estimated. It would be greatly appreciated if you would look into this matter to help determine or prepare whatever legal descriptions are necessary for the subject Agreement. ;, . e '\ Mr. Hugh Landrum November 2, 1990 Page 2 If I can be of any assistance, please call me.

(316) 332-1532 Re: City of La Porte Industrial District Agreement Dear Mr. Diakiw: This letter will confirm our discussions at my office on November 4, 1993, concerning the City of La Porte's proposed industrial district agreement renewal with ARCO Pipe Line Company. As we discussed, this property was developed by Friendswood Development Company, and is situated in the Bayport Industrial District. ARCO's property is undeveloped land. ARCO is now attempting to market the land to various third parties. The restrictions of Bayport Industrial District, of which the subject property is a part, provide that Coastal Water Authority has jurisdiction to provide water, and Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority has jurisdiction to provide waste water treatment. ARea inquired whether the ci ty of La Porte could furnish potable domestic water and domestic waste water treatment, to the subject property. The City of La Porte purchases its potable domestic water from the City of Houston's Southeast Water Treatment Pl~nt. The City of La Porte has a limited percentage interest in this plant, and the plant itself has never produced at 100% of its rated capacity. Therefore, the City of La Porte has limited potable water resources. The City of La Porte does not sell potable water and domestic waste water treatment services, for industrial process purposes, but only for domestic purposes. The City of La Porte would be open to discussing with ARCO and its prospecti ve purchasers, a contractual arrangement, without the necessity of annexation, for the provision of potable domestic water and domestic waste water treatment services, to the subject l . AS_S & ARMSTRONG. P. C. ATTORNEYS AT LAW Mr. Michael A. Diakiw November 19, 1993 Page 2 property. As stated, the provision of these services would be subject to availability of water, and would contain maximum daily and monthly limitations on water usage. Allowed usage would be strictly domestic purposes, such as drinking water, water for sanitation purposes, and treatment of such water, to offices, and office-warehouse type facilities. ARCO or its customers would have to obtain waivers from CWA and Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority, as to their franchise rights on the subject property prior to the City of La Porte providing services. In addition, extension of water and sewer mains to the subject property would be at the expense of the property owner. I trust this letter furnishes the information which you requested. If I can be of any further assistance, please advise. ~ trUl~ Knox W. Askins City Attorney City of La Porte KWA: sw cc: Mr. B.
