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.

' 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 un annexed area for the purpose of computing the "in li.eu" 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 -' . Nothing herein contained shall ever be interpreted as lessening the authority of the Harris C9unty 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" ta)~es 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.

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 app~icable 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 , i .. 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 (5%) of the total appraised'value of {,and 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.' (0) If existing Property values have depreciat~d 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 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 CityDs independent appraiser, 4 . , e 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's ad valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by appraisal by the Harris County Appraisal District.

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 a~nex 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 Ci ty 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.

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 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 determina1:ion 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.

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, subj ect 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.

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 here1:o 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 'i . . corporation or c~rcumstances 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.
