- In consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed by
and between Power Company and the City of Baytown as follows:
1. The City of Baytown hereby agrees that all of the
land and improvements thereon owned, used, occupied, leased,
rented or possessed by Power Company within the area designated
as Baytown Industrial District No. 3 by Ordinance No. 899,
and enlarged by further ordinance, shall continue its extrater-
ritorial status and shall not be annexed by the City of
Baytown nor shall the City attempt to annex, or in any way
cause or permit to be annexed any of such property during
the term of this agreement. The Power Company land within
Baytown Industrial District No. 3 as of the date of this
Agreement is described in Appendix A, attached hereto and
made a part hereof. All references to "Baytown Industrial
District No. 3" throughout this Agreement shall be deemed to
encompass the area now within said District together with
any expansions of said area during the term of this Agreement.
The City further agrees, promises and guarantees that during
the term of this agreement the City of Baytown shall not
apply or purport to apply any ordinance, rule or regulation
to.such property. Specifically, but without limitation, the
City agrees, promises, and guarantees that it will not
extend to said property any ordinance, rules or regulations
(a) governing plats and the subdivision of land; (b) prescribing
any zoning, building, electrical, plumbing or inspection
code or codes; and (c) attempting to exercise in any manner
-2-
7621
whatsoever control over the conduct thereon of Power Company's
business (or that of its "affiliates" as this term is herein-
after defined). The City further agrees that during the
term of this Agreement, it will not levy or purport to levy
ad valorem taxes against any real or personal property
owned, used, occupied, leased, rented, or possessed by Power
Company or any of its affiliates within Baytown Industrial
District No. 3.
2. It is further agreed that during the term of this
Agreement the City of Baytown shall not be required to
furnish municipal services to Power Company's properties
which are ordinarily and customarily supplied by the City to
property owners within its boundaries, except as provided by
mutual agreement. specifically, but without limitation, it
is agreed that the City of Baytown shall not be required to
furnish: (1) sewer or water service, (2) police protection,
(3) fire protection, (4) road or street repairs, and (5)
garbage pickup service.
3. Power Company and the City of Baytown recognize
that in the past Power Company has paid a share of the
needed revenue for operating the City and providing services
for its residents. It is further recognized that during the
next succeeding seven years the City of Baytown will experience
population growth as a result of industrial expansion which
will necessitate increased revenue to provide expanded
service and facilities. In view of this increased need for
revenue, Power Company agrees to pay the City of Baytown an
Industrial District Payment on or before January 31 of each
year during the term of this agreement in an amount to be
calculated on the basis of the following formula, except for
calendar years 1977 and 1978 as hereinafter provided in
Paragraph 4.
-3-
Power Company's Industrial District Value, as
defined below, x 0.06 x the property tax rate per $100
of assessed valuation adopted by the City Council for
the City of Baytown for financing the fiscal year in
which such January 31 due date falls.
In applying the above formula, the factor referred
to as "Power Company's Industrial District Value" shall
be defined as:
(A) The fair market value of Power Company's
properties within the Baytown Industrial District No. 3
(referred to herein as "Power Company's properties ") as
of January 1 of the calendar year next preceding the
calendar year in which such January 31 due date falls,
less:
(B) The fair market value of that portion of
Power Company's properties annexed to the City of
Baytown, which is twenty (20 %) per cent of the fair
market value of Power Company's properties as of January
1 of the calendar year next preceding the calendar year
in which such January 31 due date falls.
Annual payments under this Agreement shall be
calculated by the City of Baytown in the above stated manner.
Determination of City and Industrial District fair market
values, in the above stated manner, shall be made by the
City of Baytown and approved by the Board of Equalization.
Such fair market values as approved by the Board of Equaliza-
tion shall be subject to exception by Power Company and
should Power Company take exception thereto and should the
Board and Power Company be unable, through negotiations, to
reach mutually acceptable fair market values on or before
September 1 of the calendar year next preceding the calendar
year in which such January 31 due date falls, then either
party may request determination of such disagreement by a
-4-
W
mutually acceptable arbitrator. The cost of such arbitrator
shall be shared equally by the City of Baytown and Power
Company, and such arbitrator's determination shall be final
and binding unless either party within thirty (30) days
after such arbitrator's determination is received by the
parties, petitions for a Declaratory Judgment to the,Civil
District Court of Harris County, Texas, as provided for by
Paragraph 5 hereof.
Should the parties be unable to agree upon a
mutually acceptable arbitrator, each party shall nominate
one arbitrator and the arbitrators so nominated by the
parties shall select a third arbitrator who will act with
them as a three - member arbitration panel to decide the
disagreement between the parties by the concurrence of a
majority of such panel. Such arbitrator or arbitration
panel shall determine whether the fair market value of such
property is as contended by the Board of Equalization, by
Power Company, or some intermediate value. The cost of such
arbitration panel shall be shared equally by the City of
Baytown and Power Company, and such panel's determination
shall be final and binding unless either party within thirty
(30) days after such determination is received by the parties,
petitions for a Declaratory Judgment to the Civil District
Court of Harris County, Texas, as provided for by Paragraph
5 hereof.
In determining the fair market value of property
and improvements as used herein, the Board of Equalization
and any arbitrator or arbitration panel shall base its
determination on the replacement cost of comparable present
day facilities considering and giving effect to sound engi-
neering valuation practices relative to service life, life
expectancy, process and functional obsolescence.

7623
7624
4. It is agreed and understood between Power Company
and the City of Baytown that the first payment under this
contract shall be due April 1, 1977, and said payment shall
be deemed delinquent if received by the City after July 10,
1977. Said payment shall be based upon the formula hereinabove
referred to in Paragraph 3 as if twenty (20 %) per cent of
the value of Power Company's properties had been previously
annexed by the City of Baytown. However, said payment shall
be seventy -five (75 %) per cent of the amount using the
above referred to formula.
The valuation of Power Company's properties shall
be based upon the current Goose Creek Independent School
District Tax Roll Fair Market Value of $217,488,550. This
value shall be used for purposes of the payment due April 1,
1977. The payment due January 31, 1978 shall be based upon
the formula hereinabove referred in Paragraph 3 as if 20% of
the value of Power Company's properties had been previously
annexed by the City of Baytown. The valuation of Power
Company's properties for the January 31, 1978 payment shall
be based.upon appraisal made by the City of Baytown or its
designated representative. The provisions of Paragraph 3
shall control the procedure for Power Company's excepting to
the valuation placed upon Power Company's properties by the
City of Baytown.
5. If any disagreement arises between the parties
concerning the interpretation of this Agreement or the
decisions of the arbitrator or arbitration panel provided
for hereunder, it is agreed that either of said parties may
petition any Civil District Court of Harris County, Texas,
for a Declaratory Judgment determining said controversy and
the cause shall be tried as other civil causes in which
plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence its
position. Pending final determination of said controversy,
Im
Power Company shall pay to the City of Baytown on the due
date the same amount which it paid to the City for the last
preceding period as to which there was no controversy
concerning the amount owed by Power Company to the City.
Power Company agrees to tender the amount of potential
liability to the registry of the Civil District Court,
Harris County, Texas, pending final determination of the
controversy beyond any further appeal.
6. All payments to the City of Baytown provided for
herein shall be made to the City at the City Hall in Baytown,
Texas. If any payment is not made on or before the due
date, the same penalties, interest, attorneys' fees and
costs of collection shall be recoverable by the City as
would be collectible in the case of delinquent ad valorem
taxes; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply
to any payment which may be found to have been deficient as
the result of proceedings provided for in Paragraph 5 hereof.
The City shall have a lien upon any delinquency in Industrial
District payment.
7. If any other municipality attempts to annex any
land or property owned, used, occupied, leased, rented or
possessed by Power Company within the area designated as
Baytown Industrial District No. 3, or if the creation of any
new municipality should be attempted so as to include within
its limits any of such land or property, the City of Baytown
shall, with the cooperation of Power Company seek injun6tive
relief against any such annexation or incorporation, and
shall take such other legal steps as may be necessary or
advisable under the circumstances. The cost of such legal
steps, including fees of attorneys (other than the City
Attorney) retained by mutual agreement of the parties, shall
be paid by Power Company. Should the City refuse or fail to
comply with its obligation under this paragraph, Power
-7-
7625
7626
Company shall have the right to seek such legal or equitable
relief as it deems necessary or advisable in its own name or
in the name of the City and, if necessary, Power Company may
join the City as a party to any such legal action.
If the City and Power Company are unsuccessful in
preventing any such attempted annexation or incorporation,
Power Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
as to any property so annexed or incorporated retroactive to
the effective date of such annexation or incorporation, or
Power Company may continue this Agreement in full force and
effect; provided, however, that Power Company's right of
terminating this Agreement must be exercised within thirty
(30) days after judgment upholding such annexation or incorpora-
tion becomes final beyond further appeal. If any payment is
made by Power Company to the City of Baytown after the
effective date of such annexation or incorporation and if
Power Company elects to terminate this Agreement as above
provided, then as to such property so annexed or incorporated
such payment shall be refunded by the City to Power Company.
8. The City of Baytown and Power Company mutually
recognize that the health and welfare of Baytown residents
requires adherence to standards of quality in the air emissions
and water effluents by those industries located within
Baytown Industrial District No. 3. To this end, Power
Company agrees to abide by the valid permits issued to it
by, and the valid rules and regulations of, the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Texas Water Quality Board and the
Texas Air Control Board, or their successors. In this
connection, it is recognized by the parties that the Environ-
mental Protection Agency, the Texas Water Quality Board and
the Texas Air Control Board are charged with the responsibility
for enforcing air and water quality standards and nothing
contained herein shall be construed to grant the City of
-8-
Baytown or any third party any authority or right, by termina-
tion of the Agreement or otherwise, to enforce any standards
relative to air and water quality as are established by law,
charter provision, rule, regulation or permit. In the event
noise and vibration caused by operation of Power Company's
plant cause the City serious problems, both Power Company
and the City shall, at the time the problems arise, discuss
the same.
9. This Agreement shall be for a term of seven (7)
years from the effective date of this instrument and for
such additional period or periods of time as provided by the
Texas Municipal Annexation Act and mutually agreed upon by
the parties hereto. This Agreement shall further terminate
and replace that certain Industrial District Agreement
entered into between Power Company and the City of Baytown,
-dated August 27, 1969.
During the term of this Agreement, the City agrees
to afford the protection of this Agreement to all subsequent
purchasers of any of Power Company's properties, provided
any such subsequent purchaser notifies the City, within 90
days of the acquisition of such property, of its intention
to accept the provisions of this Agreement. If such subsequent
purchaser fails to so notify the City of Baytown within such
90 -day period, and if a moratorium will not be applicable
under ordinances then in effect which will reasonably serve
the interests of the City and the purchaser until the expira-
tion date of this Agreement, then Power Company agrees that the
City of Baytown may annex such of its property as is necessary
to bring the boundaries of the City of Baytown adjacent to
the property of the heretofore mentioned purchaser.
If the property was owned by Power Company on
January 1 of any calendar year during the term of this
contract, then said property shall be computed for value

purposes in arriving at the Industrial District payment due
January 31 of the following year.
If Power Company leases any portion of the property,
the subject of this agreement, Power Company shall be the
responsible party for the payment of the Industrial District
payments to the City of Baytown.
10. The benefits accruing to Power Company under this
Agreement shall also extend to Power Company's "affiliates"
and to any properties owned or hereafter acquired by Power
Company or by said affiliates within Baytown Industrial
District No. 3, and where reference is made herein to land,
property and improvements owned by Power Company, that shall
also include land, property and improvements owned by its
affiliates. The word "affiliates" as used herein shall mean
all companies with respect to which Power Company directly
or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries at the
time in question, owns or has the power to exercise the
control over fifty (50 %) per cent or more of the stock
having the right to vote for the election of directors. If
Power Company or any affiliates of Power Company hereafter
acquire any land within Baytown Industrial District No. 3
and give written notice of such acquisition to the City of
Baytown, such land and all real, personal, or mixed property
located thereon shall be subject to the provisions of this
Agreement as of the date of delivery of written notice
unless such land has previously been included within the
corporate limits of the City of Baytown or another city.
11. It is agreed by the parties to this Agreement that
only full, complete faithful performance of the terms hereof
shall satisfy the rights and obligations assumed by the
parties and that, therefore, in addition to any action at
law for damages which either party may have, Power Company
may enjoin the enactment or enforcement of any ordinance or

charter amendment in violation of, or in conflict with, the
terms of this Agreement and may obtain such other equitable
relief, including specific performance of the Agreement, as
is necessary to enforce its rights. It is further agreed
that should this Agreement be breached by Power Company, the
City shall be entitled, in addition to any action at law for
damages, to obtain specific performance of this Agreement
and such other equitable relief necessary to enforce its
rights. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed
to give the City any right to terminate this Agreement on
the basis of Power Company's violation of any standard or
criteria relative to air emissions, water effluents, noise,
vibration, or toxic levels established by any law, ordinance,
rule, regulation or permit.
12. In the event the terms and conditions of this
contract are rendered ineffective by the Constitution and /or
Legislative changes, both parties mutually agree that said
contract shall be re- negotiated to accomplish the intent of
this Agreement.
