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 e.� b other as follows:
I.
A. 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, 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 disannexed from the corporate limits of
City, shall be immune from 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 said land 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
proceeding authorized by the Texas Water Code, the Texas Clean Air
Act, the Texas Health & Safety Code, 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 and not subject to
the Agreement.
B. Company agrees that it will not, during the term of this
Agreement, use or seek legislative or regulatory approval to use,
nor allow any other person to use or seek legislative or regulatory
approval to use, any portion of the tract(s) of land described
above as any part of a commercial hazardous waste management
facility, as defined in Chapter 296, Acts of the 72nd Legislature
(1991). Company further agrees that it will, within thirty days
after execution of this Agreement, place a deed restriction on the
tract(s) of land described above prohibiting the use of any portion
of such tract(s) as any part of a commercial hazardous waste
management facility. Company hereby agrees that in any suit by
City for breach of any provision of this paragraph, City may seek
and, should it prevail it shall be entitled to, specific
performance of this provision of this paragraph.
II.
A. On or before April 15, 1999, 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, 2009,
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 and 2 of subsection D, of this
Paragraph II (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
written 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. On or before the later of December 31, 1999, or 30 days from
mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December
31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2009, Company
shall pay to City an amount "in lieu of taxes" on Company's
Property as of January 1st of the current calendar year ("Value
Year") .
D. Company 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. (a) One Hundred percent (100%) of the amount of ad
valorem taxes which would be payable to City if all
of the Company's land and improvements which
existed on January 1, 1999, had been within the
corporate limits of City and appraised each year by
City's independent appraiser; and
(b) Fifty percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem
taxes which would be payable to City if all of the
Company's land and improvements which are added
after January 1, 1999, had been within the
corporate limits of City and appraised each year by
City's independent appraiser; and
2. (a) One Hundred percent (100%) of the amount of ad
valorem taxes which would be payable to City on all
of the Company's tangible personal property of
every description, including, without limitation,
inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items
of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and
products in storage located on the land, which
existed on January 1, 1999, had been within the
corporate limits of City and appraised each year by
the City's independent appraiser;
(b) Fifty percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem
taxes which would be payable to City on all of the
Company's tangible personal property of every
description, including, without limitation,

0 •
inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items
of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and
products in storage located on the land, which are
added after January 1, 1999, had been within the
corporate limits of City and appraised each year by
the City's independent appraiser.
III.
This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day
of January, 1999, and continue thereafter until December 31, 2009,
unless extended for an additional period or periods of time upon
mutual consent of Company and City as provided by Section 42.044,
Texas Local Government Code; provided, however, that in the event
this Agreement is not so extended for an additional period or
periods of time on or before June 30, 2009, 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, 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 the Company or imposes 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 on 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 "in lieu of taxes" payments hereunder, to
City on or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof.
It is agreed that presently the ratio of ad valorem tax assessment
used by the 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
4
• 0
of value of land, improvements, and tangible personal property, for
tax purposes (e.g., rendition, assessments, 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 Article 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 any such protest by Company, Company agrees to pay
to City on or before the date therefor hereinabove provided, 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 Harris County Appraisal District
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.
B. Should Company disagree with any appraisal made by the
independent appraiser selected by City .(which 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
5
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, in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the American
Arbitration Association. 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 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 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.
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.
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, with prior written consent of
City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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.
A
IX.
In the event any one or more words, phrases, clauses, sentences,
paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this Agreement or
the application thereof to any person, firm, corporation or
circumstances shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason, then the
application, invalidity or unconstitutionality of such words,
phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other part
of the Agreement shall be deemed to be independent of and separable
from the remainder of this Agreement and the validity of the
remaining parts of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
X.
Upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, all other
previously existing industrial district agreements with respect to
said land shall terminate.

INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT made and entered into by and between the CITY OF
LA PORTE, TEXAS, a municipal corporation of Harris County, Texas,
hereinafter called "CITY", and BAYSHORE INDUSTRIAL, INC., a
corporation, hereinafter called "COMPANY",
WI T N E S S E T H: That
WHEREAS, it is the established policy of the City Council of
the City of La Porte, Texas, to adopt such reasonable measures from
time to time as are permitted by law and which will tend to enhance
the economic stability and growth of the City and its environs by
attracting the location of new and the expansion of existing
industries, therein, and such policy is hereby reaffirmed and
adopted by this City Council as being in the best interest of the
City and its citizens; and
WHEREAS, Company is the owner of a certain tract(s) of land
more particularly described in the Deed Records of Harris County,
Texas, in the following Volume and Page references, to -wit:
TRACT 1, 2, and 3, as described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
This agreement shall be subject to the additional restrictions
contained in Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
-2-
upon which tract(s) Company has either constructed an industrial
plant(s) or contemplates the construction of an industrial plant(s);
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to its policy, City has enacted Ordinance
No. , designating a portion of the area located in its
extraterritorial jurisdiction as the "South La Porte Industrial
District," hereinafter called "District," such Ordinance being in
compliance with Section 42.044 of the Texas Local Government Code;
and
WHEREAS, City desires to encourage the expansion and growth of
industrial plants within said District and for such purpose desires
to enter into this Agreement with Company pursuant to Ordinance
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.
A. 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 disannexed from the corporate limits of City,
shall be immune from annexation by City during the term hereof
-3-
(except as hereinafter provided) and shall have no right to have
extended to it any services by City, and that said land 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
proceeding authorized by the Texas Water Code, the Texas Clean Air
Act, or the Texas Health & Safety Code 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 and not subject to the
Agreement.
B. Company agrees that it will not, during the term of this
Agreement, use or seek legislative or regulatory approval to use,
nor allow any other person to use or seek legislative or regulatory
approval to use, any portion of the tract(s) of land described above
as any part of a commercial hazardous waste management facility, as
defined in Chapter 296, Acts of the 72nd Texas Legislature (1991).
Company further agrees that it will, within thirty days after
execution of this Agreement, place a deed restriction on the
tract(s) of land described above prohibiting the use of any portion
of such tract(s) as any part of a commercial hazardous waste
management facility. Company hereby agrees that in any suit by City
for breach of any provision of this paragraph, City may seek and,
should it prevail it shall be entitled to, specific performance of
this provision of this paragraph.
II.
Company agrees to render to City and pay full City ad valorem
taxes in the form of "in lieu of taxes" payments, on its land and
improvements, and tangible personal property, as fully as if said
land, improvements, and tangible personal property were annexed to
City.
-4-
This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the lst
day of January, 1992, and continue thereafter until December 31,
1998, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time
upon mutual consent of Company and City as provided by Section
42.044, Texas Local Government Code; provided, however, that in the
event this Agreement is not so extended for an additional period or
periods of time on or before June 30, 1998, 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, 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 the Company or imposes 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,
-5-
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 "in lieu of taxes" payments
hereunder, to City on or before December 31 of each year during the
term hereof. It is agreed that presently the ratio of ad valorem
tax assessment 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, assessments, 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 Article 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, 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 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
-6-
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.
(B) Should Company disagree with any appraisal made by the
independent appraiser selected by City (which 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
•
-7-
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, in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the American
Arbitration Association. 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 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 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.
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.
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, with the prior written consent of
City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall remain
in force in the event 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.
WE
IX.
In the event any one or more words, phrases, clauses,
sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this
Agreement or the application thereof to any person, firm,
corporation or circumstances shall be held by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason, then
the application, invalidity or unconstitutionality of such words,
phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other part
of the Agreement shall be deemed to be independent of and separable
from the remainder of this Agreement and the validity of the
remaining parts of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
X.
Upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, all other
previously existing industrial district agreements with respect to
said land shall terminate.

I represent the City of La Porte. I have had discussions in recent
months with your former President, Mr. Roy Cabler, Jr., concerning
the renewal of the Industrial District Agreement between your firm
and the City of La Porte, which expires on December 31, 1998.
The City of La Porte proposes to renew this Agreement for an
additional seven year term, commencing January 1, 1999. In order
to prepare the extension documents, I would appreciate your
advising me of any changes in real estate ownership by the
corporation, either purchases or sales. If there have been
additional real estate acquisitions, please furnish me with a
photocopy of the recorded deed.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

I am no longer the "action" man for this particular item but will pass your letter along to
the current Bayshore President. As we are now an operating division of ICO, Inc.
I'm sure that ICO's legal department as well as our local management will be working
with you to get all the details together for a renewal of agreement.

landfill. City shall not be obligated to dispose of Company's
waste. Company shall not dispose of any matter on the tracts of
land described on Exhibit "A", by any method, including, but not
limited to, incineration, toxic emissions, disposal wells, burying,
or any other form of disposal.
Company further agrees that it will, during the term of this
Agreement, keep and maintain a "greenbelt" of trees and other
