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 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: FINAL DRAFT: February. 24, 2000 . . 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 to retain its extraterritorial status as an industrial district, at least to the extent that the same covers the Land 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, 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 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, any portion of Land constituting a strip of land 100' wide and contiguous to either Fairmont Parkway, State Highway 225, or State Highway 146, .shall be subject to'the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit "c" and made a part hereof; and 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 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 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 ci ty , s selection. The parties recognize that in making such appr'iiisal for "in lieu" paYment purposes, such appraiser must of necessity appraise the entire (annexed and unannexed) Land, improvements, and tangible personal property. 2 . e 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 property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes. III. A. On or before April 15, 2001, and on or before each April 15th thereafter, unless an extension is granted in accordance with the Texas Property Tax Code, tprough and including April 15, 2007, 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 simil~r 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"); provided, however, pollution control equipment installed on the Land which is exempt from ad valorem taxation pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 11.31 of the Texas Property Tax Code is exempt from ad valorem taxation and "in lieu of taxes" hereunder. 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, 2001, or 30 days from mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December 31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2007, 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. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to ci ty if all of the Company's Land and improvements which existed on January 1, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable. Value Year during the term of this Agreement, (excluding amounts payable pursuant to subparagraph 2, below), had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised 3 . e each year by city's independent appraiser, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code; and 2. (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, 2000, 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's independent appraiser, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code. (b) A Substantial Increase in value of the Land, improvements, and tangible personal property (excluding inventory) 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, 2000; 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. (c) If existing Property values have depreciated below the Property value established on January 1, 2000, an amount equal to the amount of the depreciation will be removed from the calculation under this subparagraph 2 to restore the value to the January 1~ 2000, value; and 3. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to ci ty on all of the Company's tangible personal property of every description, located in an industrial district of City, including, without limitation, inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and products in storage located on the Land, if all of said tangible personal property which existed on January 1, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicab~e Value Year during the term of this Agreement, had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised each year by the City's independent appraiser, 4 . e in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code. wi th the sum of 1, 2 and 3 reduced by the amount of Ci ty · s ad valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by appraisal by the Harris County Appraisal District. IV. This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day of January, 2001, and continuing thereafter until December 31, 2007, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time upon mutual consent of Company and ci ty as provided by the Municipal Annexation Act; provided, however, that in the event this Agreement is not. so extended for an additional period or periods of time on or before August 31, 2007, 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. 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 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, 1994. V. 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. 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 to City in accordance with the 5 . e foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the basis of renditions which shall be filed by Company. 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 wi th any appraisal made by the independent appraiser selected by City pursuant to Article II above (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 submi t the dispute to final arbi tration 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 relevant and material evidence on that issue including 6 . e 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 Arbi tration Act (Chapter 171, "General Arbitration", Texas civil Practice and Remedies Code). 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 ci ty 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 wi~hin said territory, for so long as this Agreement or any extension thereof remains in force. Company shall give City written notice within ninety (90) days, with full particulars as to property assigned and identity of assignee, of any disposition of the Land, and assignment of this Agreement. IX. 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. X. The parties agree that this Agreement complies with existing laws pertaining to the subject and that all terms, considerations and conditions set forth herein are lawful, reasonable, appropriate, and not unduly restrictive of Company's business activities. without ~uch agreement neither party hereto would enter into this Agreement. In the'event anyone or more words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, firm, 7 . e 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. XI. Upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, all other previously existing industrial district agreements with respect to said Land shall terminate.

These companies are required to maintain a current Industrial District Agreement with the City. MRTS 225, LTD. desires to pursue water service under the terms of the aforementioned policy. Based on the company's stated demand for domestic uses, the average daily demand for water is 4,250 gallons per day. Additionally, the company requests 25,750 gallons per day for industrial processes which is limited to washing of industrial equipment. The applicant will pay one and one-half (1-%) times the City's current utility rate. The company is subject to administrative connection charges in the amount of $8,500. Additionally, MRTS 225, LTD. is assessed a pro-rata reimbyrsement charge in the amount of $15,532.39 for utilization of a water main previously extended by Mr. Jqhn Frantz under a previous Utility Extension Agreement with the City. Payment in the total amount of $24,q32.39 has been received from the company. The term of the Water Service Agreement expires on December 31, 2007, plus any renewals and extensions thereof.

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 to retain its extraterritorial status as an industrial district, at least to the extent that the same covers the Land 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, 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 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, any portion of Land constituting a strip of land 100' wide and contiguous to either Fairmont Parkway, State Highway 225, or State Highway 146, shall be subject to the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and made. a part hereof; and 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 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 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 necessity appraise the entire (annexed and unannexed) Land, improvements, and tangible personal property. 2 e e 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 property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes. III. A. On or before April 15, 2001, 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, 2007, 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"); provided, however, pollution control equipment installed on the Land which is exempt from ad valorem taxation pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 11.31 of the Texas Property Tax Code is exempt from ad valorem taxation and "in lieu of taxes" hereunder. 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, 2001, or 30 days from mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December 31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2007, 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. Fifty-three percent (53%) 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, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable Value Year during the term of this Agreement, (excluding amounts payable pursuant to subparagraph 2, below), had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised 3 e e each year by City's independent appraiser, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code; and 2. (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, 2000, 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's independent appraiser, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code. (b) A Substantial Increase in value of the Land, improvements, and tangible personal property (excluding inventory) 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 (S%) of the total appraised value of Land and improvements, on January 1, 2000; or ii. a cumulative value of at least $3,SOO,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. (c) If existing Property values have depreciated below the Property value established on January 1, 2000, an amount equal to the amount of the depreciation will be removed from the calculation under this subparagraph 2 to restore the value to the January 1, 2000, value; and 3. Fifty-three percent (S3%) 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, located in an industrial district of City, including, without limitation, inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and products in storage located on the Land, if all of said tangible personal property which existed on January 1, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable Value Year during the term of this Agreement, had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised each year by the city's independent appraiser, 4 e e in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code. with the sum of 1, 2 and 3 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. IV. This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day of January, 2001, and continuing thereafter until December 31, 2007, unless extended for an additional period or 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 extended for an additional period or periods of time on or before August 31, 2007, 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. 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 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, 1994. V. 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. 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 to City in accordance with the 5 e e foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the basis of renditions which shall be filed by Company. 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 pursuant to Article II above (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 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 relevant and material evidence on that issue including 6 e e 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 (Chapter 171, "General Arbitration", Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code). 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 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. Company shall give City written notice within ninety (90) days, with full particulars as to property assigned and identity of assignee, of any disposition of the Land, and assignment of this Agreement. IX. 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. X. The parties agree that this Agreement complies with existing laws pertaining to the subject and that all terms, considerations and conditions set forth herein are lawful, reasonable, appropriate, and not unduly restrictive of Company's business activities. without such agreement neither party hereto would enter into this Agreement.

FINAL DRAFT: February 24, 2000 ..; ;; ,It . ~ 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 to retain its extraterritorial status as an industrial district, at least to the extent that the same covers the Land 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, 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 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 thereonj provided, however, any portion of Land constituting a strip of land 100' wide and contiguous to either Fairmont Parkway, state Highway 225, or state Highway 146, shall be subject to the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit "c" and made a part hereof j and 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 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 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 I S selection. The parties recognize that in making such appraisal for "in lieu" payment pu;rposes, such appraiser must of necessi ty appraise the entire (annexed and unannexed) Land, improvements, and tangible personal property. 2 1i e . " 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 property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes. III. A. On or before April 15, 2001, 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, 2007, 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"); provided, however, pollution control equipment installed on the Land which is exempt from ad valorem taxation pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 11.31 of the Texas Property Tax Code is exempt from ad valorem taxation and "in lieu of taxes" hereunder. 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, 2001, or 30 days from mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December 31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2007, 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 un annexed area equal to the sum of: 1. Fifty-three percent (53%) 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, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable Value Ye~r during the term of this Agreement, (excluding amounts payable pursuant to subparagraph 2, below), had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised 3 .I'" .. e . '" each year by City's independent appraiser, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code; and 2. (a) On any Substantial Increase in value of the Land, improvements, and tangible persona 1 property (excluding inventory) dedicated to new construction, in excess of the appraised value of same on January 1, 2000, 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's independent appraiser, in accordance, with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code. (b) A Substantial Increase in value of the Land, improvements, and tangible personal property (excluding inventory) 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, 2000; 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 cum~lated to arrive at the amount for the increase in value. (c) If existing Property values have depreciated below the Property value established on January 1, 2000, an amount equal to the amount of the depreciation will be removed from the calculation under this subparagraph 2 to restore the value to the January 1, 2000, value; and 3. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amoUnt of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to ci ty on all of the Company's tangible personal property of every description, located in an industrial district of City, including, without limitation, inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and products in storage located on the Land, if all of said tangible personal property which existed on January 1, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable Value Year during the term of this Agreement, had ,been within the corporate limits of City and appraised each year by the City's independent appraiser, 4 .' e . in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code. wi th the sum of 1, 2 and 3 reduced by the amount of City I S ad valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by appraisal by the Harris County Appraisal District. IV. This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day of January, 2001, and continuing thereafter until December 31, 2007, unless extended for an additional period or periods of time upon mutual consent of Company and ci ty as provided by the Municipal Annexation Act; provided, however, that in the event this Agreement is not so extended for an additional period or periods of time on or before August 31, 2007, 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. 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 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, 1994. V. ,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. 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 un annexed portions of Company's hereinabove described property which would be due to City in accordance with the 5 .;i - . ~. foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the basis of renditions which shall be filed by Company. 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 wi th any appraisal made by the independent appraiser selected by City pursuant to Article II above (whiCh shall be given in writing to Company), Company shall, within twenty (20) days of receiving such copy, give written notice to the ci ty 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 arbi tration 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 relevant and material evidence on that issue including 6 . . 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 (Chapter 171, "General Arbitration", Texas civil Practice and Remedies Code). 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' 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. Company shall give City written notice within ninety (90) days, with full particulars as to property assigned and identity of assignee, of any disposition of the Land, and assignment of this Agreement. IX. 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,effect1 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. X. The parties agree that this Agreement complies with existing laws pertaining to the subject and that all terms, considerations and conditions set forth herein are lawful, reasonable, appropriate, and not unduly restrictive of Company's business activities. without ~uch agreement neither party hereto would enter into this Agreement. In th€ event anyone or more words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, firm, 7 r~ . . -e 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 deeme~ 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.

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 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: . ~INAL DRAFT: ~e~ruary 24, 2000 . . I. City covenants, agrees and guarantees that durinq the term of this Aqreement, provided below, and subject to the terms and provisions of this Aqreement, said District shall continue to retain its extraterritorial status as an industrial district, at least to the extent that the same covers the Land belonqinq to Company and its assiqns, unless and until the status of said Land, or a portion or portions thereof, as an industrial district may be chanqed pursuant to the terms of this Aqreement. Subject to the foreqoinq and to the later provisions of this Aqreement, City does further covenant, aqree and guarantee that such industrial district, to the extent that it covers said Land lyinq within said District and not now within the corporate limits of City, shall be immune from annexation by City durinq the term hereof (except as hereinafter provided) and shall have no riqht to have extended to it any services by City, and that all Land, includinq that which has been heretofore annexed, shall not have extended to it by ordinance any rules and regulations (a) qoverninq plats and subdivisions of land, (b) prescribing any buildinq, electrical, plumbinq or inspection code or codes, or (c) attemptinq to exercise in any manner whatever control over the conduct of business thereon; provided, however, any portion of Land constitutinq a strip of land 100' wide and contiguous to either Fairmont Parkway, State Hiqhway 225, or State Hiqhway 146, shall be subject to the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit "c" and made a part hereof; and provided, however, it is aqreed that City shall have the riqht to institute or intervene in any aciministrati ve and/ or judicial proceedinq 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 requlations, to the same extent and to the same intent and effect as if all Land covered by this Aqreement were not subject to the Aqreement. II. In the event that any portion of the Land has heretofore been annexed by City, Company aqrees to render and pay full City ad valorem taxes on such annexed Land and improvements, and tanqible personal property. Under the terms of the Texas Property Tax Code (S.B. 621, Acts of the 65th Texas Leqislature, Regular Session, 1979, as amended), the appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed portion of Land, . improvements, and tanqible 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 tanqible personal property in the unannexed area for the purpose of computinq the. "in lieu" payments hereunder. Therefore, the parties aqree that the appraisal of the Land, improvements, and tanqible 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 recoqnize that in makinq such appraisal for "in lieu" payment purposes, such appraiser must of necessi ty appraise the entire (annexed and unannexed) Land, improvements, and tanqible personal property. 2 e . 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 persona 1 property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes. III. A. On or before April 15, 2001, 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, 2007, 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 APPFaisal District rendition form, or simil~r 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"); provided, however, pollution control equipment installed on the Land which is exempt from ad valorem taxation pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 11.31 of the Texas Property Tax Code is exempt from ad valorem taxation and "in lieu of taxes" hereunder. 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 address~s 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, 2001, or 30 days from mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December 31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2007, Company shall pay to ci ty 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. Fifty-three percent (53%) 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, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable Value Year during the term of this Agreement, (excluding amounts payable pursuant to subparagraph 2, below), had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised 3 . . each year by City's independent appraiser, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code; and 2. (a) On any SUbstantial Increase in value of the Land, improvements, and tanqible persona 1 property (excludinq inventory) dedicated to new construction, in excess of the appraised value of same on January 1, 2000, resultinq from new construction (exclusive of construction in proqress, which shall be exempt from taxation), for each Value Year followinq completion of construction in proqress, 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's independent appraiser, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code. (b) A Substantial Increase in value of the Land, improvements, and tanqible personal property (excludinq inventory) as used in subparaqraph 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 J~nuary 1, 2000; 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. (c) If existinq Property values have depreciated below the Property value established on January 1, 2000, an amount equal to the amount of the depreciation will be removed from the calculation under this subparaqraph 2 to restore the value to the January 1, 2000, value; and 3. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would be payable to Ci ty on all of the Company's tanqible personal property of every description, located in an industrial district of City, includinq, without limitation, inventory, oil, qas, and mineral interests, items of leased equipment, railroads, pipelines, and products in storaqe located on the Land, if all of said tanqible personal property which existed on January 1, 2001, and each January 1 thereafter of the applicable Value Year durinq the term of this Aqreement, had been within the corporate limits of City and appraised each year by the City's independent appraiser, 4 . . in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code. ' wi th the sum of 1, 2 and 3 reduced by the amount of ci ty I S ad valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by appraisal by the Harris County Appraisal District. IV. This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the 1st day of January, 2001, and continuing thereafter until December 31, 2007, unless extended for an additional period or 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 extended for an additional period or periods of time on or before August 31, 2007, 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. 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 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, 1994. v. This Agreement may be extended for an additional periOd or periOdS by agreement between City and Company and/or its assigns even thouqh it is not extended by aqreement between City and all of the owners of all land within the District of which it is a part.

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 to City in accordance with the 5 e . foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the basis of renditions which shall be filed by Company. 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 wi th any appraisal made by the independent appraiser selected by City pursuant to Article II above (which shall be given in writing to Company), Company shall, within twenty (20) days of receiving such copy, give written notice to the ci ty 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 believe~ 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 relevant and material evidence on that issue including 6 ~ 'Ii.. e . expert opinion, and shall render its written decision as promptly as practicable. That decision shall then be final and binding upon the parties, subj ect only to judicial review as may be available under the Texas General Arbitration Act (Ch~pter 171, "General Arbitration", Texas civil Practice and Remedies Code). 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 Ci ty 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. Company shall give City written notice within ninety (90) days, with full particulars as to property assigned and identity of assignee, of any disposition of the Land,'and assignment of this Agreement. IX. If City enters into an Agreement with any other l.andowner 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. X. The parties agree that this Agreement complies with existing laws pertaining to the subject and that all terms, considerations and conditions set forth herein are lawful, reasonable, appropriate, and not unduly restrictive of Company's business activities. without such agreement neither party hereto would enter into this Agreement. In the' event anyone or more words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, firm, 7. . ,."" .."" . e 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.
