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

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 paragraph (f), whichever is greater. In addition, Company 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.

city limits, plus an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the ad
valorem taxes on one miilic- dollars ($1,000,000.00) of improvements which
would be payable to City if said improvements were situated within the city

ments exist on said land, or
(ii) the amount of ad valorem taxes on land, improvements and
personal property on said land which would be payable to City if said land,
improvements and personal property were situated within the city limits of
City, plus an amount in lieu of City sales tax equal to that which would be
remitted to the State Comptroller annually by Company, and which would later
be remitted to City by the State Comptroller, if said land were situated

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

-5-
subsequent computations hereunder. This Agreement and the method of determining
and "nixing the amount of in lieu of taxes payments hereunder shall be subject to
all provisions of law relating to determinations of market value and taxation,

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
paymenton 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.

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 an 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 Company's property is established as an amount
less than the amount used to compute 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.

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

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

counsel shall be paid by the party retaining same.

endar
alendar year in which such annexation or incorporation is attempted, prorated to
the date such temporary injunction or relief is denied, in a separate interest-
bearing escrow account which shall be held by City subject to the following:

has been exhausted) is entered denying a permanent injunction and/or upholding

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.

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.

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

(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 paragraph (f), whichever is greater. In addition, Company
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.

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.

(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 (51,000,000.00) 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 Iimited to, laws relating to rendition, assessment,
equalization and appeal,

properties by City for any year or years during the term hereof, it is agreed

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

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

action which in the sole discretion of the City it deems best. In the event

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.

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 permanentinjunction 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.
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. The word "affiliates" as used herein shall mean (1) all companies

mediaries at -the time in question, owns or has the power to exercise control •
overfifty percent (50%) or more of the stock having the right to vote for the

group of corporations" (as that term is defined in Section 1563(a) of the Internal

aries, and shall remain in force whether Company sells, assigns, or in any other

of taxes attributable to the buyer's holdings on the property unless the buyer
has entered into a supplemental industrial district contract with the City con-
cerning such holdings.

buyer other than an affiliate a portion of the lands described in Exhibit "A"
and/or Exhibit "B", Company shall furnish to the City's Tax Assessor -Collector
a revised Exhibit "A" and/or Exhibit "B", which revised exhibit or exhibits
shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement, effective for the calendar
year next following the calendar year in which the conveyance occurred. Seller
shall remain solely responsible for any payments in lieu of taxes for the calen-.
dar year in which the conveyance occurred. In the event the Company improperly
