Generally The parties hereto recognize that said Chambers County Appraisal District is not required to appraise for the City the land, improvements, and tangible property, real or mixed, in the affected area, which is not within the corporate limits of the City, for the purpose of computing the payments hereunder. For the purpose of providing a procedure for determining and collecting the amounts payable by the Property Owner hereunder, there are hereby adopted and made a part hereof all provisions of the Constitution and statutes of the State of Texas pertaining to ad valorem taxation as amended throughout the term of this Agreement (including, in particular, the Texas Property Tax Code), except, however, that (i) to the extent that any of such provisions would require the assessment of the Property Owner's property on an equal and uniform basis with property in the general corporate limits of the City, the provisions of this Agreement will control where in conflict with the provisions of such laws and (ii) the income method of appraisal as described in Section 23.012 of the Texas Property Tax Code shall not be limited to only properties for which a rental market exists. Specifically, nothing contained herein shall limit the income method of appraisal specified in Section 23.012 of the Texas Property Tax Code to only properties for which a rental market exists, instead if such method is used, the chief appraiser shall: 1. use income and expense data pertaining to the property, if possible and applicable; 2. make any projections of future income and expenses only from clear and appropriate evidence; 3. use data from generally accepted sources in determining an appropriate capitalization rate; and 4, determine a capitalization rate for income-producing property that includes a reasonable return on investment, taking into account the risk associated with the investment The parties agree that the fair market value of the Property Owner's land, improvements, and tangible property subject to Subsections B and C of this section shall be determined in accordance with the market value computation contemplated in the Texas Property Tax Code for the purpose of calculating the Property Owner's payment under this Agreement on properties annexed or disannexed subsequent to the commencement of this Agreement. The City may choose to use the appraised value as finally determined by the Chambers County Appraisal District (or through administrative or ,judicial appeal of the Chambers County Appraisal District's determination), or by appraisal conducted by an independent appraiser of the City's selection at the City's expense. The determination of fair market values by the City shall be final and binding unless the Property Owner within thirty (30) days after receipt of the City's determination petitions for a Declaratory Judgment to the Civil District Court of Harris County, Texas, as provided for by Section XIII hereof Nothing contained herein shall ever be construed as in derogation of the authority of the Chambers County Appraisal District to establish the appraised value of land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the annexed portion for ad valorem tax purposes. B.

The value for such disannexed land, improvements and tangible property, real or mixed shall be determined as described in Subsection A of this Section based upon the year in which the property is disannexed and shall be added to the Base Value specified in Article V each year after the disannexation for purposes of payment hereunder. C. Adiustment of Base Value for Property Outside the Corporate Limits but Subsequently Annexed Land, improvements and tangible property, real or mixed, of the Property Owner, which is annexed into the corporate limits of the City during the term of this Agreement, shall be removed from the affected area the year after the annexation. The value for such annexed land, improvements and tangible property, real or mixed shall be determined as described in Subsection A of this Section based upon the year in which the property is annexed and shall be subtracted from the Base Value specified in Article V each year after the annexation for purposes of payment hereunder. D. Statements The City shall mail one statement to the Property Owner on or about December 1 of each year showing the total amount due on December 31 of such year pursuant to this Agreement Such statement shall be mailed to the "Tax Statement Address" noted in this Agreement. Any amounts due on December 31 that are not paid when due shall become delinquent on January 1 of the following year. Provided, however, if the tax statement is mailed after December 10, the delinquency date is postponed to the first day of the next month that will provide a period of at least 21 days after the date of mailing for payment of the amount due. Delinquent amounts shall be immediately subject to the same penalties, interest, attorneys' fees and costs of collection as recoverable by the City in the case of delinquent ad valorem taxes. The City shall have a lien upon the Property Owner's land within the affected area upon any delinquency in the Industrial District Payment, E. Valuation Contests If any differences concerning the appraised values shall not have been finally determined by the due date of the Property Owner's payment hereunder and the Property Owner is pursuing through a declaratory judgment action as specified in Subsection A, the Property Owner shall, without prejudice to such action, pay to the City by December 31 of each year (subject to the exception in the preceding paragraph for statements mailed after December 10), such amount as is provided in the Texas Property Tax Code, as amended throughout the term of this Agreement, for payments made under such conditions by owners of property within the general corporate limits of the City subject to ad valorem taxation. Any refund payable by the City to the Property Owner hereunder shall be paid within 60 days after receipt by the City of both Chambers County Appraisal District's form notification that the appraised value of the property has been reduced and a written refund request by the Property Owner; if not paid timely, the refund amount shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2251.025 of the Texas Government Code beginning 60 days after the City received both the Property Owner's written refund request and the Chambers County Appraisal District's formal notification that the appraised value of the property has been reduced. VII. Compliance with Law The City and the Property Owner mutually recognize that the health and welfare of Baytown residents require adherence to high standards of quality in the air emissions, water effluents and noise, vibration and toxic levels of those industries located in the Industrial District, and that development within the District may have an impact on the drainage of surrounding areas. To this end, the Property Owner and the City agree that the same standards and criteria relative to noise, vibration and toxic levels and drainage and flood control which are adopted by the City and made applicable to portions of the City adjacent to the Industrial District shall also be applicable to the affected area- The Property Owner agrees that any industrial or other activity carried on within the affected area will be constructed in strict compliance with all applicable valid state and federal air and water pollution control standards. If the Property Owner's property within the affected area is subject to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S-C 65, et seq., as amended, then the Property Owner shall undertake to ensure that its facilities and improvements in the affected area comply with the applicable fire safety standards of such act and the resolutions from time to time promulgated hereunder (the "OSHA Standards"), but there shall be no obligation to obtain any permits of any kind from the City in connection with the construction, operation or maintenance of improvements and facilities in the affected area not located within the corporate limits of the City. Nonetheless, the Property Owner agrees that any structure built within the affected area shall be built in accordance with the building code adopted by the City in effect at the time of construction. The City and the Property Owner recognize that activities in the City's industrial districts are subject to regulation by other governmental entities, including the state and federal governments and their various departments and agencies. The City and the Property Owner also recognize that the City may have an interest in activities in the City's industrial districts that are regulated by other governmental entities.

VIII. Inspections The Chief Appraiser of the Chambers County Appraisal District and the City or its independent appraiser shall have the same right to enter and inspect the Property Owner's premises and the same right to examine the Property Owner's books and records to determine the value of the Property Owner's properties as are provided in the Texas Property Tax Code as amended.

Default by Property Owner In the event of default by the Property Owner in the performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, including the obligation to make the payments above provided for, the City shall have the option, if such default is not fully corrected within sixty (60) days from the giving of written notice of such default to the Property Owner to either (i) declare this Agreement terminated or (ii) continue the term of this Agreement and collect the payments required hereunder.

Default by City In the event of default by the City, the Property Owner may, if such default is not fully convected within 60 days from giving written notice of such default to the City, terminate this Agreement.

In the event of termination, the City shall have the right to repeal the ordinance designating the affected area as an industrial district. Provided, however, if the termination occurs as a result of the City's exercising its option to terminate (as provided in the first sentence of this Section IX), the City shall not have the right to annex the affected area into the general corporate limits of the City so as to subject the affected area to ad valorem taxes for any part of the period covered by the Property Owner's last payment hereunder.
