Except as herein provided City further covenants and agrees that said land shall be immune from annexation. During the term hereof City shall have no obligation to extend to said land any City services except fire protection in the event Company makes addi- tional payments to City under Article III(d) hereof. -=Further, City and Company agree that during the term hereof, City shall not require with respect to said land compliance with its rules or regulations (a) governing zoning and platting of said land or any additions thereto outside the City limits; provided, however, Company further agrees that it will in no way divide said land or additions thereto without complying with State law and City ordinances governing subdivision of land; (b) prescribing any building, electrical, plumbing or inspection code or codes; or (c) prescribing any rules governing the method of operations of Company's business, except as to those regulations relating to the delivery of utility services and industrial waste disposal through City owned facilities.

III Each year during the term hereof, Company shall pay to City: (a) An amount in lieu of taxes on said land (excluding improvements and personal property located thereon) equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes based upon the market value of said land which would otherwise be payable to City by Company if said land were situated within the city limits of City. . With respect to any new land acquired by Company after January 1, 1981, located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of City, and the use of which relates directly to the primary use of the parent tract, and which Company desires to add to said land, such new land shall be included in Company's land known as said land, and shall be considered in calculating the in lieu of tax payment on . said land as of January 1 of the first year following the date which such new land is acquired by Company. In addition, Company shall provide City a revised Exhibit "A" which includes a complete description of such new land. (b) An amount in lieu of taxes on improvements (exluding personal prop- erty) located on said land equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes which would otherwise be payable to City by Company if said improve- ments were situated on land within the city limits of City. On or before March 31 of each year during the term of this Agreement, Company shall provide to City's Tax Assessor -Collector a written statement of its opinion of the market value sworn to by an official of Company authorized to do the same. -3- (c) With respect to any new improvements or facilities, which are hereby defined as those being completed after January 1, 1974 which increase production capacity, which may be required or proper for environmental or safety reasons, or which are made necessary because of a change in raw mater- ials being processed, Company shall pay to City five percent (5%) rather than the percentages of the amount of ad valorem taxes as calculated in paragraph (b) above for each year of use, i.e., 10% the second year in use, 15% the third year in use, etc. Payments under this provision shall never exceed fifty percent (50%). The first year of use for purposes of this new improvements payment shall be deemed to commence on the first day of January next following the date which the new improvements are placed in use. This provision shall apply to construc- tion of new improvements or facilities and to the expansion of existing improve- ments or facilities on said land. New improvements or facilities not included within this paragraph (c) shall be deemed to be included within the provisions of paragraph (b) above. (d) An additional amount for City fire protection equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the amount which would be payable on 100% of assessed value of improvements located in said land notwithstanding the provisions of para- graph (b) above; provided, however, that if and as long as Company is a member in good standing of the Refinery Terminal Fire Company, or its successor, it shall not be obligated to pay the additional amount provided by this paragraph (d). (e) At the request of Company, an alternative to the method of calcula- tion set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) above, the Company may make a payment which is determined by considering using the method of calculation set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) above, said land and all other lands contiguous to said land, or forming an integral part of Company's primary operation located on said land, owned by Company inside the city limits as if all the value of Company's lands above described and improvements thereon were outside the city limits, and deducting from the amount which would otherwise be due from such calculation the property taxes actually due to City resulting from the assessed values of land and improvements, excluding personal property, located inside the City. If Company selects such alternative procedure, the amount due to City under this section shall be the resulting difference or the minimum payment required in paragraphs (a) and (b), whichever is greater. In addition, Company -4- shall provide City, by attaching hereto as Exhibit "B", a complete description of the lands contiguous to said land, or forming an integral part of Company's primary operation located on said land, owned by Company inside the city limits. With respect to any new land acquired by Company after January 1, 1981, located inside the city limits, which is contiguous to said land, or forms an integral part of Company's primary operation located on said land, such new land may be considered in the alternative method of calculating the in lieu of tax payment as stated above, as of January 1 of the first year following the date which such new land is acquired by Company. Company shall provide City a new or revised Exhibit "B" which includes a complete description of such new land. (f) Minimum Payments. For any Company which qualifies as an industry under Ordinance No. and which has less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) in improvements subject to this agreement, such Company, in lieu of the payments in items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) above, shall pay the lower of: (i) an amount in lieu of taxes on said land equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes based on the market value of said land which would be payble to City if said land were situated within the city limits, plus an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the ad valorem taxes on one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) of improvements which would be payable to City if said improvements were situated within the city limits, regardless of whether one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) of improve- ments exist on said land, or (ii) the amount of ad valorem taxes on land, improvements and per- sonal property on said land which would be payable to City if said land, improve- ments and personal property were situated within the city limits of City. IV Company agrees to pay to City on or before December 31 of each year during the term hereof all payments in lieu of taxes provided for hereunder without discount for early payment. The present ratio of ad valorem tax assess- ment used by City is one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of property. Any change in such ratio used by City shall be reflected in any subsequent computations hereunder. This Agreement and the method of deter- mining and fixing the amount of in lieu of taxes payments hereunder shall be subject to all provisions of law relating to determination of market value and -5- taxation, including, but not limited to, laws relating to rendition, assessment, equalization and appeal. V In the event company elects to protest the valuation set on any of its properties by City for any year or years during the term hereof, it is agreed that 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 as if such property were located within the City. Notwithstanding any such protest by Company, Company agrees to pay to City an initial in lieu of tax payment on or before the date therefor hereinabove provided, at least the amount of the payment in lieu of taxes on said land and improvements which would be due by Company to City hereunder on the basis of renditions filed by Company with City's Tax Assessor -Collector for that year or on the basis of the assessment thereof for the last preceding year, whichever is higher. When the valuation on said property has been finally determined, either as the result of final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as the result of other final settlement of the controversy, then within thirty (30) days thereafter Company shall make to City any additional payment due based on such final valuation. If as a result of final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or as the result of other final settlement of the controversy, the valuation of Com- pany's property is established as an amount less than the amount used to com- pute the initial in lieu of tax payment for such year by Company, then within thirty (30) days thereafter City shall make to Company any payment due based on the difference between the initial payment and that which is computed based on the final settlement. VI (a) In the event Company fails or refuses to comply with all or any of the terms, conditions and obligations herein imposed upon the Company, then this Agreement may be terminated at the option of City and/or the City may elect to sue to recover any sum or sums remaining due hereunder or take any other action which in the sole discretion of the City it deems best. In the event the City elects to sue to recover any sum due under this Agreement, the same penalties, interest, attorney's fees, and cost of collection shall be recover- able by the City as would be in a suit to recover delinquent ad valorem taxes. -6- (b) City shall be entitled to a tax lien on said land and improvements, in the event of default in payment of in lieu of taxes payments hereunder, which may be enforced by City in the same manner as provided by law for the collection of delinquent ad valorem taxes. (c) In the event City breaches this Agreement by annexing or attempting to pass an ordinance annexing any of the said land, Company shall be entitled to enjoin City from the date of its breach for the balance of the term of this Agree- ment, from enforcing any annexation ordinance adopted in violation of this Agree- ment and from taking any further action in violation of this Agreement. If Company elects to pursue this remedy, then so long as City specifically performs its obligations hereunder, under injunctive order or otherwise, Company shall continue to make the annual payments required by this Agreement. VII Company agrees to provide to City at Company's expense, a survey plat and field note description of said land. With respect to Company's acquisition of new land, as described in Article'III(a) above, which becomes included in said land, Company agrees to provide to City at Company's expense, a survey plat and field note description of such new land. VIII If any attempt to annex any of said land owned, used, occupied, leased, rented or possessed by Company, is made by another municipality, or if the incor- poration of any new municipality should be attempted so as to include within its limits such land or property, the City shall seek a temporary and permanent in- junction against such annexation or incorporation, with the cooperation of Com- pany, and shall take such other legal action as may be necessary or advisable under the circumstances. The cost of any such legal action shall be borne equally by the parties hereto; provided, however, the fees of any special legal counsel shall be paid by the party retaining same. In the event City and Company are unsuccessful in obtaining a temporary injunction enjoining such attempted annexation or incorporation, Company shall have the option of (1) terminating this Agreement, effective as of the date of such annexation or incorporation, or (2) continuing to make the in lieu of taxes payments required hereunder. Such option shall be exercised within thirty (30) days after the application for such temporary injunction is denied. In the -7- event Company elects to continue such in lieu of taxes payments, the City shall place future payments hereunder together with part of the payment for the calen- dar year in which such annexation or incorporation is attempted, prorated to the date such temporary injunction or relief is denied, in a separate interest-bear- ing escrow account which shall be held by City subject to the following: (a) In the event final judgment (after all appellate review, if any, has been exhausted) is entered denying a permanent injunction and/or upholding such annexation or incorporation, then all such payments and accrued interest thereon shall be refunded to Company; or (b) In the event final judgment (after all appellate review, if any,, has been exhausted) is entered granting a permanent injunction and/or invali- dating such annexation or incorporation, then all such payments and accrued interest thereon shall be retained for use by City. IX The benefits accruing to Company under this Agreement shall also ex- tend to Company's "affiliates" and to any properties presently owned or acquired by said affiliates within the area described in Exhibit "A" to this Agreement, and where reference is made herein to land, property and improvements owned by Company, that shall also include land and improvements presently owned by its affiliates.
