Gentlemen:
Attached is a signed copy of the Industrial District
Agreement between the City of Corpus Christi, Texas and
Gulf States Oil & Refining Co.
. We respectfully request, however, that the following
modifications be made to the agreement, to -wit:
(1) Article I, Paragraph 2 should be amended to
read as follows:
"During the term hereof, City shall have
no obligation to extend to said land any
`services except fire protection in the
event Company makes additionalpayments
to City under Article III(d) hereof, and
such other city services as are being pro-
vided to and paid for by Company on date
hereof."
Our intention is to ensure that those city
services currently being provided by the
city will continue to be provided in the
future.
(2) The following phrase in Article XII should
be deleted:
"having the same or approximately the same
expiration date."
By deleting the limitation mentioned above,
we feel that we can better assure that all
landowners engaged in similar industries are
equally treated now and in the future.

Municipal Annexation Act and the Ordinance of City referred to above, City and
Company hereby agree as follows:
City covenants and agrees that during the term of this Agreement, and

1981, and shall continue until December 31, 1987, unless extended for 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

and to extend existing industrial district agreements.
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 d
to add tc-said 1:nd- 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 (excluding personal
property) 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
improvements were situated on land within the city limits of City.
On or before March 31 of each year during the term of this Agree-
ment, Company shall provide to City's Tax Assessor-Collector a written statement
- 3 -
of its opinion of the market value sworn to by an official of Company authorized
to do the same.
(c) With respect to any new improvements or facilities, which are
hereby defined as those being completed after January 1, 1974, 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 construction of new improve-
ments or facilities and to the expansion of existing improvements 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 paragraph
(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 calcu-
lation set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) above, the Company may make a pay-
ment 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.
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 "8" which includes a complete description of such new
land.
(f) Minimum Payments. For any Company which qualifies as an industry
under Ordinance No. 15898 and which has less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00)
in market value of improvements on said land subject to this Agreement, such
Company, in lieu of the payments in items (a), (b), (c), (d) and (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 payable 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 ori 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
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
within the city limits.
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
- 5 -
subsequent computations hereunder. This Agreement and the method of determining
and fixing 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,
including, but not limited to, laws relating to rendition, assessment, equaliza-
tion 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 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.
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
- 6 -
same penalties, interest, attorney's fees, and cost of collection shall be
recoverable by the City as would be in a suit to recover delinquent ad valorem
taxes.
(b) City shall be entitled to a tax lien on said land and improve-
ments, in the event of default in payment of in lieu of tax 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
injunction against such annexation or incorporation, with the cooperation of
Company, 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
-7-
Ole
payments required hereunder. Such option shall be exercised within thirty (30)
days after the application for such temporary injunction is denied. In the
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 cal-
endar 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:
(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
extend 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 improve-
ments 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 with respect to which Company directly or indirectly, through
one or more intermediaries at the time in question, owns or has the power to
exercise control over fifty percent (50%) or more of the stock having the right
to vote for the election of directors; or (2) all corporations which are members
of a "controlled group of corporations" (as that term is defined in Section
1563(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended) of which Company is
a member.
X
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon City
and Company, and upon Company's successors and assigns, affiliates and subsidi-
aries, and shall remain in force whether Company sells, assigns, or in any other
manner disposes of, either voluntarily or by operations of law, all or any part
of said land, and the agreements herein contained shall be held to be covenants
- 8 -
running with said land for so long as this Agreement or any extension thereof
remains in force.
XI
(a) Whenever the Company sells a contiguous portion of said land
consisting of 20 acres or more to an ancillary industry which will be engaged
on the property in the further processing of the product of the Company or the
preparation of raw materials prior to their processing by the Company, then
platting of such property may be deferred under the following conditions:
(i) The seller shall submit for approval by the City Council a
site plan indicating the proposed water, sewer, drainage, access, and street
plans for said land.
(ii) Both the buyer and the seller shall enter into an agreement
with the City requiring the platting of said land in the event the buyer's use
of the property materially changes from the permitted uses described above, or
if the Company's industrial district agreement terminates without extension.
The seller shall remain solely responsible for any payments in
lieu of taxes attributable to the buyer's holdings on the property unless the
buyer has entered irito'a supplemental industrial district contract with the
City concerning such holdings.
(b) Whenever the Company propel'y plats, subdivides and conveys to a
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
plats, subdivides or conveys a portion of the lands described in Exhibit "A" or
Exhibit "B", Company shall remain solely responsible for any payments in lieu
of taxes applicable to such property, including improvements thereon, as if no
such conveyance had occurred.
XII
If City enters into an agreement with any other landowner, within
the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City, engaged in a similar industry,
as classified by Major Group according to the Standard Industrial Classification
011
Manual(1) or enters into a renewal of any existing industrial district agreement
with an industry of the same classification, which contains in lieu of tax pay-
ment terms and provisions more favorable to such landowner than those in this
Agreement, Company and its assigns shall have the right to either terminate
this Agreement, or amend this Agreement to contain such more favorable in lieu
of tax payment terms and provisions.
XIII
In the event any one or more words, phrases, clauses, sentences,
paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of this Agreement or the appli-
cation thereof to any person, firm, corporation or circumstances shall ever 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.
