rial District Review Board or the value determined
by the Harris County Central Appraisal District
when such district begins assessing the Company's
property for the City.

City's expense. This value shall be used in determining the full
value payment described above. Nothing contained herein shall

County Appraisal District to establish the appraised value of
land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the annexed
portion for ad valorem tax purposes.

by the City of Baytown in the above stated manner. Determination

stated manner, shall be made by City of Baytown and approved by
the Industrial District Review Board. Such final fair market
value as approved by the Industrial District Review Board shall

unable, through negotiations, to reach a mutually acceptable fair
market value on or before September I of the calendar year in
which such December 31 due date falls, then either party may
request determination of such disagreement by a mutually ac-
ceptable arbitrator. The costs of—such arbitrator shall be

value of such property is as contended by the Industrial District
Review Board, by the Company, or some intermediate value. The
cost of such arbitration panel shall be shared equally by the
City of Baytown and the 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,

of Harris County, Texas, as provided for by Section 5 hereof.
In determining the fair market value of property and
improvements as used herein, the Industrial District Review Board

valuation practices relative to service life, life expectancy,
process and functional obsolescence.
•
5. if any disagreement arises between the parties con-
cerning the interpretation of this Agreement or the decisions of
the arbitrator or arbitration panel provided for hereunder, it is

Judgment determining said controversy and the cause shall be

amount which is paid to the City for the last preceding period
as to which there was no controversy concerning the amount owed
by the Company to the City. The Company agrees to tender the
amount of potential liability to the registry of the Civil

sentence' shal I not apply to any payment which may be found to
have been deficient as the result of proceedings provided for in
Section 5 hereof. The City shall have a lien upon the Company's
property upon any delinquency in Industrial District payment.

property owned, used, occupied, leased, rented or possessed by
the 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 such land or
property, the City of Baytown shall, with the cooperation of the
Company, seek injunctive 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
