an Industrial District,except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Except as provided otherwise in this
Agreement, the CITY further covenants and agrees that the Land shall be immune from annexation during
the Term of this Agreement.
Section 1.02 Limited to Industrial Use. The COMPANY covenants and agrees that during the Term, the
COMPANY will not use or permit the use of the Land and/or Improvements covered by this Agreement for
purposes not included within the term "industry". "Industry" as used herein shall mean for the same
industrial uses to which the Land, or similarly situated land within the Industrial Districts, is now devoted
by the COMPANY or other such parties holding such similarly situated land. Holding the Land and
Improvements for future"industry"use,without using same for non-industry purposes,does not violate this
Section 1.02. If the COMPANY uses, or permits use of, the Land and/or Improvements covered by this
Agreement for purposes not included within the term"industry"as defined above,then the PILOT to be paid
by the COMPANY under this Agreement shall be increased to an amount equal to 100%of the amount of
ad valorem taxes on Land and Improvements, sited on the Land, that would otherwise be payable to the
CITY by the COMPANY if said Improvements were situated on land within the CITY limits of the CITY.
The increase shall be immediately effective for all payments from the inception of this Agreement, and the
COMPANY shall transmit to the CITY within 60 days of being notified by the CITY of the determination
of a non-industry use, subject to the notice and opportunity to cure provided for in Section 4.04,an amount
equal to said 100%of ad valorem taxes from the inception of this Agreement, less any amounts previously
paid by the COMPANY to the CITY under this Agreement, plus penalties and interest as if the amounts
were delinquent taxes. The CITY shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs in
collecting any of these amounts.In addition,the CITY shall have the right,in its sole and absolute discretion:
(1) to obtain an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction, upon the court's determination that the
use is not an "industry" use, requiring that the use be permanently discontinued, or (2) to annex the Land
covered by this Agreement and until the Land is annexed,the COMPANY shall continue to make payments
equal to said 100%of ad valorem taxes on Land and Improvements.
Section 1.03 Annexation Corridor. If any other company within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the
CITY fails to enter into an Industrial District Agreement with the CITY or defaults on their in lieu of tax

after the CITY provides the COMPANY with 60 days prior written notice of intent to initiate annexation
proceeding,permit the CITY to annex a suitable strip of land out of the COMPANY's Land from the CITY'S
boundary to the defaulting company's land to permit its annexation.In the event the CITY must annex a part
of the COMPANY's property in order to annex property owned by third parties, the CITY will annex the
absolute minimum amount of the COMPANY's Land legally necessary to annex such property owned by
third parties. The location of such annexed Land shall be subject to the approval of the COMPANY which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The COMPANY and such annexed Land shall have no right
to any CITY services as a result of such annexation; nor shall the CITY extend,by ordinance, any rules, or
regulations to such annexed Land, including, but not limited to, those (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 whatsoever control over the conduct of the COMPANY's business thereon. Such
annexed portion of Land shall remain a part of this Agreement and shall not be subject to CITY taxes, but
such annexed Land and any Improvements thereon shall continue to be included within the in lieu of tax
payment. In the event that the need for an annexation corridor no longer exists, including but not limited to
the defaulting company entering into an Industrial District Agreement,having otherwise met its obligations
to the CITY, the CITY agrees to immediately cease any annexation proceedings related to the annexation
corridor over the COMPANY's Land, or within 60 days,take the steps necessary to complete deannexation
proceedings required to remove from the city limits any unnecessary annexation corridor. If notwithstanding

is in excess of the PILOT that would have been required to be paid to the CITY under this Agreement with
respect to such annexed portion of Land and any Improvements and other property located thereon had such

determine whether that proposed method provides the same or greater level of reliability,effectiveness, and
ease of verifiability at or near the City's water-connection location as a reduced pressure backflow preventer
(assembly). After such review and determination, CITY and COMPANY will jointly approach the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to request TCEQ review of the proposed alternative
backflow prevention method.If TCEQ approves a jointly-proposed alternative backflow prevention method,
then the CITY will allow the use of said proposed alternative backflow prevention method unless the CITY
determines that said proposed alternative backflow prevention method will not provide the same or greater
level of reliability, effectiveness, and ease of verifiability at or near the City's water-connection location as
a reduced pressure backflow preventer (assembly). After a written request by COMPANY, CITY shall
provide such determination in writing by a licensed professional engineer with expertise in industrial and
municipal systems that utilize backflow prevention technologies. If the CITY does not respond within 60

deemed an original,and all of which taken together,shall constitute but one and the same instrument,which

Section 10.06 Authority; Construction. By acceptance of this Agreement and/or benefits conferred
hereunder, each party represents and warrants to the other that its undersigned agents have complete and
unrestricted authority to enter into this Agreement and to obligate and bind such party to all of the terms,
covenants and conditions contained herein. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires: (i)the word"including"shall mean
"including,but not limited to,"(ii)words used in the singular shall also denote the plural,and words used in
the plural shall also denote the singular, and (iii) references to the terms "Article," "Section," "clause,"
"Exhibit" and "Schedule" are references to the Articles, Sections, clauses, Exhibits and Schedules of this
Agreement unless otherwise specified.
Section 10.07 Petition for Annexation. Subject to the provisions of Article 4, COMPANY agrees that
failure to timely cure any default in accordance with this Agreement constitutes a petition for annexation of
the Land and in furtherance thereof in the event of such a failure, a voluntary Petition for Annexation and
Agreement for Provision of Municipal Services executed by all owners of the Land is attached hereto as
Exhibit C and may be accepted by the CITY for purposes of annexing the Land in the event that COMPANY
fails to timely cure any default in accordance with this Agreement.
Further, COMPANY agrees that the annexation petition may be accepted by the CITY for purposes of
annexing the Property in the event that, during the Term of this Agreement, a bill is approved by the Texas
Legislature that will, in the sole but reasonable and continuing opinion of the CITY, result in a prohibition
of annexation of all or part of the Land.In addition to the filing of a voluntary Petition for Annexation and
Agreement for Provision of Municipal Services pursuant to this section, the City may pursue such other
annexation actions related to the Land as appropriate to ensure all owners of the Land are included in any
annexation(s). In the event of annexation pursuant to a bill approved by the Texas Legislature, then the
annexation will be subject to the City's agreement to execute a 380 Agreement with COMPANY and its
relevant Affiliates for the remainder of the term of this Agreement,in the form attached as Exhibit E.In the
event of such legislation, the Parties will consider alternative legal arrangements that would preserve the
Parties' rights and authority that would not require full annexation.
The preceding paragraph applies to any of the COMPANY's successors, assigns, or Affiliates provided for
in Section 8.01, regardless of ownership or other interest in Land subject to this Agreement, including the
provisions related to the 380 Agreement.
If the Land is annexed, this Agreement will terminate automatically upon payment of the final PILOT
payment due under this Agreement. Annexation does not absolve the COMPANY of the requirement to pay
any PILOT that accrued prior to the date of annexation under this Agreement,and the CITY may pursue all
remedies in law and equity to collect such past due PILOT payments. Nonetheless, no PILOT will be due
for any year for which the COMPANY is subject to taxation due to annexation.
This Agreement and the attached documents are authorized and enforceable pursuant to Texas Local
Government Code § 212.172. The Parties agree that the following disclosure is sufficient for purposes of
Section 212.172 (b-1)of the Texas Local Government Code:

of any Industrial District Agreement, with a landowner which contains in lieu of tax payment terms and

not prohibit COMPANY from continuing to use land in the manner in which the land was being used on the

and CITY mutually stipulate that the Land annexed into the City was being used at the time of annexation
for uses that fall within the Heavy Industrial(IH) zoning district under the Corpus Christi City Code. CITY
will, after a COMPANY request that cites this provision, promptly initiate and pursue a zoning case for the
Land, without zoning fees being assessed to COMPANY,to be zoned IH (or such other zoning district that
permits COMPANY's industrial activities),without the need for any additional CITY permits.
b. CITY and COMPANY stipulate that, as a matter of law, Sec.43.002 guarantees to COMPANY the right to
use the Land for Heavy Industrial Uses and other uses that might be authorized within the IH zone without
the necessity for additional licenses,certificates,permits,approvals,or other forms of authorization,including
but not limited to Conditional Use Permits or Special Use Permits To the extent that any court, board,
commission, or other entity proposes or requests any permits or other authorizations be required as a result
of annexation into the City limits,the CITY agrees to support, and if requested, request the issuance of such
L Tegal\SHAREMIndustrial District Agreements\IDAs 2024\To Review\Completed IDAS\Completed I I Buckeye Texas Processing LLC Standard Form IDA approved 09-03-2024.docx 25
permits or other authorizations.

the Land will be treated as"IH"(Heavy Industrial)or equivalent zoning district for purposes of Corpus Christi
City Code Section 14-231, including that Section's exemption of IH-zoned Land from the requirements of
the necessity of obtaining building permits and compliance with the Technical Construction Codes of the
CITY.
d. Corpus Christi City Code Section 14-231 currently provides as follows, which terms the Parties agree and
stipulate shall be applicable to new construction on the Land except as otherwise provided in this Section
1.02:
Section 105.1.4 Building Permit Exemptions:
(a) Definitions. For the purposes of this section:
State or Federal Facility means a facility owned or managed by the State of Texas or the federal
government.
Industrial Facility means a facility used to manufacture, compound, package, process, refine, sort,
test,and treat raw materials and other processed materials into finished or intermediate products and
to store equipment or materials used by that industrial facility.
Agricultural Facility means any structure on a tract of land larger than 10 acres used exclusively in
connection with ranching or agricultural use, excluding structures used for residential, commercial,
or industrial purposes.
(b)Exemption. A State or Federal Facility,Industrial Facility,or Agricultural Facility may claim an
exemption from the City's requirement for technical construction code permits if all connections

device or air gap.
(c) An Industrial Facility can only claim the technical construction code permit exemption if:
Lthe facility or industrial processing unit is inaccessible to the general public;
2.the facility or unit is zoned IH or occupies a site of 20 or more contiguous acres;
3.the facility or structure is not within 150 feet from the 1-37 right-of-way; and
4.the construction, assembly, disassembly, reassembly, modification, alteration, or
improvement of the facility or unit is under a licensed professional engineer's observation
and direct supervision. The licensed professional engineer will certify that all
improvements meet the intent or spirit of the City's technical construction codes and life
safety criteria for the occupancy as outlined in Chapter 14 of the Corpus Christi Code.
(d) The building official and/or Corpus Christi Water representative has the right to inspect any
installations connected to the city water system to the point of the valves or safety devices to ensure
the connection to a backflow prevention device or air gap.
(e) Any State or Federal Facility, Industrial Facility, or Agricultural Facility that does not have the
required technical construction code permits and does not install backflow prevention devices or air
gaps at all connections to the city water system authorizes the City to refuse to connect or the City
to disconnect the connection from the city water supply system.
(f) Any State or Federal Facility, Industrial Facility, or Agricultural Facility that fails to test or
timely provide test results or maintain the required backflow prevention device in good operating
condition authorizes the City to refuse to connect or the City to disconnect the connection from the
city water supply system.
e. Prior to annexation,none of the Land was subject to CITY ordinances;therefore,it is the intent of the Parties
that no part of the Corpus Christi Code of Ordinances shall have the effect of disrupting the industrial
operations of COMPANY. Accordingly,the following provisions of the Corpus Christi City Code and other
rules and policies of CITY will not apply to the Land:
(1)Any provision of Chapter 13 or 14 of the City Code requiring notifications to CITY or permits to be

(a) Section 105.1.4 of Section 14-231 of the City Code, except as modified in this section, and
(b) Article V (Flood Hazard Prevention Code) of Chapter 14 of the City Code, as amended and/or
renumbered.
(2) Any ordinances, rules, policies, or other regulatory provisions of CITY addressing a field or area of
regulation occupied by a provision of the following codes adopted by the State of Texas: Agricultural
Code, Finance Code,Insurance Code, Labor Code,Natural Resources Code, and Occupations Code.
(3) The provision of Section 105.1.4(c)(3), set out above, regarding a minimum distance from the 1-37

(4) The provision of Section 105.1.4(c)(4), set out above, regarding certification by a licensed
professional engineer shall not be applicable to construction, assembly, disassembly, reassembly,
modification, alteration, or improvement of the facility or unit provided that COMPANY represents in
writing to the CITY Director of Development Services(or the successor to that position)that COMPANY
conducts its operations in accordance with currently applicable industry standards and codes. This
provision does not require COMPANY to make any written representation to CITY about its maintenance
and operations(such as assembly,disassembly,modification,or alteration)that would not otherwise fall
within CITY technical construction codes.
(5) The provisions of Sec. 105.1.4 (d), (e) and (f) are modified to provide that, upon COMPANY'S
request citing this section and obligation, the CITY's director of water or authorized equivalent will
review the COMPANY's proposed use of an alternative backflow prevention method and determine
whether that proposed method provides the same or greater level of reliability,effectiveness, and ease of
verifiability at or near the City's water-connection location as a reduced pressure backflow preventer
(assembly).After such review and determination,CITY and COMPANY will jointly approach the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to request TCEQ review of the proposed alternative
backflow prevention method. If TCEQ approves a jointly-proposed alternative backflow prevention
method,then the CITY will allow the use of said proposed alternative backflow prevention method unless
the CITY determines that said proposed alternative backflow prevention method will not provide the
same or greater level of reliability, effectiveness, and ease of verifiability at or near the City's water-
connection location as a reduced pressure backflow preventer (assembly). After a written request by
COMPANY, CITY shall provide such determination in writing by a licensed professional engineer with
expertise in industrial and municipal systems that utilize backflow prevention technologies. If the CITY
does not respond within 60 days of such written COMPANY request, then the request for use of said
jointly-proposed,TCEQ-approved alternative backflow prevention method will be deemed approved.
Section 1.03 Annexation and City Services. During the term hereof, pursuant to this Agreement, the CITY shall
have no obligation to extend to the Land any utilities or other CITY services, except for services that are being
provided to and paid for by the COMPANY on the Effective Date, or as otherwise stated herein. The COMPANY
agrees and stipulates that the annexation is valid,and the COMPANY has no right to challenge the annexation of the
Land by the CITY.
2. Term

2039,unless terminated as herein provided or extended for additional period or periods of time upon mutual consent

3. Chapter 380 Rebates of City Ad Valorem Taxes Paid by Company
Section 3.01 Rebate of Ad Valorem Taxes.Each year during the tern hereof,the CITY shall rebate a portion of ad
valorem taxes paid by COMPANY to the CITY that are attributable to the Improvements to the Land and the
COMPANY's Business Personal Property on the LAND. The payment obligation is more specifically described as
follows,but may be reduced as provided in this agreement,notably Sections 3.04 and 3.05:
a. The "Reimbursable Tax Amount" is the ad valorem taxes paid by the COMPANY to the account of the
CITY in the following amounts:
(1) 25.5% of the Reimbursable Tax Amount paid by COMPANY for the CITY ad valorem taxes
finally received from COMPANY on Existing Improvements owned by COMPANY on the
Land.
(2) 100% of the Reimbursable Tax Amount paid by COMPANY for the CITY ad valorem taxes
finally received from COMPANY on New Improvements owned by COMPANY on the Land.
(3) 100% of the Reimbursable Tax Amount paid by COMPANY for the CITY ad valorem taxes
finally received from COMPANY on Business Personal Property owned by COMPANY on
the Land.
b. The CITY hereby agrees to create a"Reimbursement Account" to be segregated from general CITY
funds and held for the benefit of the COMPANY and CITY for the purpose of paying the CITY
rebate of ad valorem taxes to the COMPANY. After the COMPANY notifies the CITY of the
amount of reimbursable CITY ad valorem taxes it has paid,the City will verify the amount received
by the CITY and place the reimbursable taxes in a separate account for potential reimbursement to
COMPANY, hereinafter known as the "Reimbursement Account".
With respect to each COMPANY CAD Geographic ID subject to rebate, such rebate shall be paid
by the Non Appeal Rebate Date following COMPANY's certification of such no-appeal status for
each CAD Geographic ID.
In the event of an appeal, the CITY will rebate the reimbursable taxes to the COMPANY by the
Appeal Rebate Date.
If the COMPANY appeals the value of a CAD Geographic ID,then the reimbursable taxes for such
CAD Geographic ID will be held in the aforementioned Reimbursement Account until the final
determination concerning the amount of ad valorem taxes that should be properly assessed to the
Existing Improvements, New Improvements, and Business Personal Property on the Land. The
CITY's Director of Financial Services shall maintain the Reimbursement Account and may
disburse payments pursuant to this agreement without further authorization of City Council. Funds
in the Reimbursement Account may be used to pay any debts of COMPANY owed to CITY as a
result of default of any obligations owed by COMPANY to CITY, and setoff is authorized for that
purpose. Interest on said account will be retained by the CITY.
The CITY will be the owner of the Reimbursement Account and interest paid on the
Reimbursement Account, and the COMPANY's rights to receive funds from the Reimbursement
Account will not be assignable. Attempted assignment, bankruptcy, or insolvency of COMPANY
shall terminate the COMPANY's rights, if any, to the funds in the Reimbursement Account.
c. The COMPANY shall provide evidence, satisfactory to the CITY, of payment of the ad valorem
taxes on Existing Improvements, New Improvements, and Business Personal Property located on
the Land. The sole source of payments by the CITY pursuant to this agreement is the taxes paid by the
COMPANY that are rebatable pursuant hereto.
L:\LegapSHARGD\Industrial District Agreements\IDAs 2024\To Review\Completed IDAS\Completed I I Buckeye Texas Processing LLC Standard Fomr IDA approved 09-03-2024.docx 28
d. Subject to the different mechanism and timings,it is the express intention of the Parties that the payments
and rebates of ad valorem taxes provided in this Agreement replicate the ultimate incidence of PILOT
provided for in the Industrial District Agreement to which this document is attached as applicable to the
COMPANY and its Affiliates. The attached"Worked Examples of Article 3 Payments and Rebates"
illustrates the Parties intentions as to how payments and rebates will function under this Article 3.
Section 3.02 Company Schedule of Value. On or before August 31 of each year of this Agreement, or upon final
determination of Market Values by the applicable CAD,whichever is later,the COMPANY shall provide to the CITY
an itemized Schedule of Value by sworn affidavit, on the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Industrial District
Agreement to which this document is attached,listing all CAD Geographic ID numbers and the values related thereto,
and showing all Land, Improvements, and Business Personal Property, owned or controlled by the COMPANY
including and identifying the property to be valued as part of this Agreement (the "Schedule"). COMPANY must
include in its Schedule of Value the Geographic ID numbers for all Business Personal Property accounts on the Land,
whether owned by COMPANY or an Affiliate. The Schedule shall also list the year any Improvements were Placed
in Use. The COMPANY has no objection to the CITY'S review of all forms, information, and documents provided
by the COMPANY to the applicable CAD and,in the event of appeal,the Appraisal Review Board.Failure to provide
the Schedule to the CITY shall constitute a waiver of the right to receive reimbursement pursuant to this agreement.
Section 3.03 Determination of Value.The COMPANY shall timely provide information and reports required under
this Agreement and under Texas law,rules and regulations to the applicable CAD or its designee,so that the appraisal
process can be completed in accordance with all applicable state laws.
Section 3.04 Company Protest of Value or Billing. If the COMPANY elects to protest the valuation set on any of
its properties by the applicable CAD for any year or years during the term hereof, it is agreed that nothing in this
Agreement shall preclude the protest,and the COMPANY shall have the right to take all legal steps desired to reduce
the same. A reduction of the taxable value will reduce the reimbursable amounts pursuant this agreement. The
COMPANY must cooperate with the CITY in determining what taxes and accounts are subject to protests to ensure
the CITY is accurately maintaining and disbursing funds in the Reimbursement Account.
Section 3.05 Fire Protection.The CITY will reduce CITY reimbursement to the COMPANY in an amount equal to
15% of the ad valorem taxes paid to the CITY for the Land; provided, however, that the COMPANY shall not be
obligated to pay the additional amount provided by this Section 3.05 for any year during the Term of this Agreement
if either (i) as of January 1 of such year, the COMPANY or its Affiliate that owns the Land is a member in good
standing of the Refinery Terminal Fire Company, or its successor, or (ii) the COMPANY or its Affiliate that owns
the Land satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 775.032(a)(1), (2), and (3) of the Texas Health and Safety
Code and certifies to the CITY in writing such compliance.
Section 3.06 Calculation of Amount Due.Within 30 days after request by the COMPANY,following COMPANY's
submission of taxes paid and lists of accounts determined reimbursable by this agreement, the CITY shall provide a
report to the COMPANY specifying the accounts and amounts subject which sets forth the amount of the
Reimbursable Tax Amount and amount held in the Reimbursement Account in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 3.07 Payment.The COMPANY agrees to pay its ad valorem taxes so as not to be delinquent under the Texas
Property Tax Code. The COMPANY further agrees to provide an accurate report of all amounts paid for ad valorem
taxes on the Land, Existing Improvements thereon, New Improvements thereon, and Business Personal Property
thereon and properly pay CITY ad valorem taxes to on or before January 31 st of each year. Penalties and/or interest
that are paid by the COMPANY will not be subject to rebate to the COMPANY.
Article 4. Default and Cessation of Operations
Section 4.01 Default by CITY. If the CITY does not perform its obligations hereunder in substantial
compliance with this Agreement and, if such default remains uncured for a period of 60 days after notice
thereof shall have been given, in addition to the other rights under the law or given the COMPANY under this
L:\Legal\SHARBD\Industrial District Agreements\IDAs 2024\To Reviev\Completed IDAS\Completed I I Buckeye Texas processing LLC Standard Fonn IDA approved 09-03-2024.docx 29
i
Agreement, the COMPANY may enforce specific performance of this Agreement and seek an injunction or writ
of mandamus to perform obligations under this Agreement.
Section 4.02 Default by COMPANY. If the COMPANY does not perform its obligations hereunder in
substantial compliance with this Agreement, and, if such default remains uncured for a period of 60 days
after notice thereof shall have been given or such longer period as is reasonably necessary to cure default if such
default cannot be cured within 60 days not withstanding COMPANY's reasonable efforts to effectuate a cure,
the CITY may terminate this Agreement and CITY's obligation to pay funds to COMPANY under this

remitted to the CITY pursuant to Texas Tax Code 321.101 for any lawful purpose. The payment obligation is more
specifically described as follows,but may be reduced as provided in this agreement, including Section 9.04.
a. The "Reimbursable Sales/Use Tax Amount" consists of 98% of the CITY sales/use taxes paid by the
COMPANY to the account of the State during a calendar year for the City of Corpus Christi City Operations
allocation pursuant to Texas Tax Code 321.101 for any lawful purpose,which is remitted to the CITY. There
will be no reimbursement to COMPANY from the sales tax allocated (now or in the future) to a Type A or
Type B corporation, a crime control district, a municipal development district, a municipal development
corporation, a district for fire control, prevention or emergency medical services or to any other district,
corporation or entity. There will also be no reimbursement to COMPANY from a sales tax for property tax
relief, for a sports or community venue project, for a metropolitan or rapid transit authority, for street
maintenance,or for any other use that is limited by state law.
b. For each calendar year subject to this Section 9.01, the CITY will create a "Reimbursement Sales/Use
Tax Account" to be segregated from other CITY funds and held for the benefit of the COMPANY and
CITY for the purpose of paying the rebate of the Reimbursable Sales/Use Tax Amount to the
COMPANY.
c. Each month the COMPANY will notify the CITY of the amount of Reimbursable Sales/Use Tax it has
paid to the State or paid to vendors and provide documentation, upon CITY's request, confirming the
amount and the payment. Upon receipt of that month's sales and use tax distribution from the
Comptroller, CITY will place the Reimbursable Sales/Use Tax Amount due COMPANY in a separate
account, hereinafter known as the "Reimbursement Sales/Use Account."
d. Funds in the Reimbursement Sales/Use Account shall be paid by the CITY to the COMPANY on or
before May 1 of each calendar year following each taxable year under this Agreement, provided the

e. The CITY's Director of Financial Services shall maintain and oversee the Reimbursement Sales/Use
Tax Account, and may disburse payments to the COMPANY due under this Agreement without further

L:\Legal\SHARBD\Industrial District Agreements\IDAs 2024\To Review\Completed IDAS\Completed I I Buckeye Texas Processing LLC Standard Fomr IDA approved 09-03-2024.docx 32
COMPANY to CITY under this Agreement. Any interest accruing on the Reimbursement Sales/Use
Tax Account may be retained by the CITY.
f. The CITY will be the owner of the Reimbursement Sales/Use Tax Account and interest paid on the
Reimbursement Account, and the COMPANY's rights to receive funds from the Reimbursement
Sales/Use Account will not be assignable. Attempted assignment, bankruptcy, or insolvency of
COMPANY shall terminate the COMPANY's rights, if any, to the funds in the Reimbursement
Account for that calendar year.
g. As more fully described in Section 9.02, below, the COMPANY shall provide evidence, satisfactory
to the CITY, of payment of sales/use taxes on taxable transactions on the Land.
h. The sole source of payments by the CITY to COMPANY pursuant to this Agreement shall be sales/use taxes
paid by the COMPANY remitted to the CITY pursuant to Texas Tax Code 32 1.101 that are rebatable under
this Agreement.

Agreement,the COMPANY shall provide to the CITY a Sworn Schedule of Sales/Use Tax Paid by COMPANY for
the preceding calendar year, utilizing the form attached as Form of Sworn Schedule of Sales/Use Tax Paid by
Company. This Schedule shall document the sales/use tax paid by COMPANY on all taxable transactions on the
Land during the preceding calendar year. COMPANY must include in its schedule the sales/use tax accounts for all
accounts subject to this Agreement, whether paid by COMPANY or an Affiliate. The COMPANY here consents to
the CITY'S review of the pertinent sales/use tax forms, information, and documents provided by the COMPANY to
the Comptroller.
Failure on the part of COMPANY to provide the Schedule to the CITY shall constitute a waiver of COMPANY'S
right to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for the calendar year.
Section 9.03 Calculation of Amount Due.Within 30 days after request by the COMPANY,following COMPANY's
submission of its Sworn Schedule of Sales/Use Tax Paid by Company for the preceding calendar year,the CITY shall
provide a report to the COMPANY identifying the relevant account and specifying the amount then held in the
Reimbursement Sales/Use Account in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 9.04 Audits.Sales/use tax is audited periodically by the Comptroller.The audit period is often multiple years
and may result,when final, in additional sales/use tax liability or in a refund of previously paid sales/use tax
a. If COMPANY incurs additional sales/use liability as a result of an audit,upon the final determination of
liability the reimbursement from CITY to COMPANY under this Agreement will be handled in the same
manner as a normal sale/use tax payment. CITY will not be responsible for reimbursing any penalties
and/or interest paid by the COMPANY.
b. If COMPANY receives a refund from the State as a result of an audit,the COMPANY will reimburse the
CITY for any portion of refunded city sales/use tax that had been previously rebated to COMPANY from
CITY. Within 90 days of receipt of a sales/use tax refund, the COMPANY must provide to CITY a
schedule similar to the sales/use tax refund request detailing the refund transactions and amount
COMPANY owes to the CITY and, upon confirmation of that amount by CITY, shall promptly repay it
to CITY.
Section 9.05 Compliance with Texas Tax Code. The COMPANY agrees to pay sales/use taxes due to the State so
as not to be delinquent under the Texas Tax Code. Any Penalties and/or interest paid by the COMPANY to the State
with respect to city sales/use Tax will not be subject to rebate to the COMPANY.
