CITY APPROVAL PROCESSES. 3.1. Scope of Development. Developer and City shall work together using best efforts throughout the legally required planning process to expeditiously obtain approvals for the Expansion. 3.2. Expansion Approval. The approval by City of this Agreement constitutes affirmative representation by City, on which Developer is entitled to rely, that Developer, notwithstanding subsequent changes of the zoning or land use controls applicable to the Property after the date of this Agreement, or after the date of any amendments to this Agreement, or zoning on the Property are approved, (1) shall be authorized to implement the uses, density and intensity, set forth for the Expansion and (2) will be accorded through the legally required planning process the approvals reasonably necessary to permit Developer to proceed with and implement the proposed improvements, including any amendments thereto, subject to City's customary standards for review and approval of site plans and architectural plans, including expedited design review. Developer and City shall work together using best efforts throughout the planning and permitting stages to resolve any City comments regarding the proposed development, provided, however, that if Developer believes at any stage that it has reached an impasse regarding any issue with City's staff, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section 3.8. 3.3. Diligence in Review and Process. In connection with the proposed development and the issuance of building permits, construction inspections, and the issuance of the Certificates of Occupancy, City agrees to the following processing times: processing times for building plan review shall be in accordance with standards for commercial additions/alterations (fifteen (15) working days turnaround time for initial review, five (5) working days turnaround time for resubmittals). Turnaround time for design review is two (2) weeks provided complete application materials are supplied two (2) weeks or more prior to a regularly scheduled Design Review Board meeting. 3.4. Appointment of Representative. In order to expedite decisions by City, City agrees to designate a single plan check engineer to review all building plans. This will assure consistency of review and efficiency through knowledge of prior submittals. The initial plan check engineer shall be Tom Tahmassian. (Note that the plan check engineer for mechanical electrical, and plumbing permit may be different.) The Developer shall advise the City's representative at the building counter when submitting application that this agreement is in effect and that plans should be given to the designated plan check engineer. 3.5. Expeditious Permit Process. City will use its best efforts to expeditiously review permits, plan reviews, inspections. 3.6 Certificates of Occupancy. City agrees that promptly upon completion of Expansion and at such time as a building is in substantial compliance with applicable City Code and ordinance, City will provide Developer (or the owner of such building) with a Certificate of Occupancy for the Expansion. If City fails or refuses to provide a Certificate of Occupancy for any portion of the Expansion when requested, City shall, within four (4) business days after written request from Developer, provide Developer a written statement indicating in adequate detail how they failed to satisfy the conditions for issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy and what measures or acts City requires before City will issue the Certificate of Occupancy. City shall not withhold approval without good and substantial reason. 3.7 Subdivision Requirements. The parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with the development of the Property in phases or otherwise, as long as the Property remains in the ownership of Developer, Developer will not need to further subdivide the Property, and that no further subdivision approvals are required by City. In the event, however, that Developer does transfer title of a portion of the Property to new entity, City agrees that it will promptly process any and all approvals of all requests for subdivision approval in conjunction with the Property, and further agrees that it will approve any subdivision request reasonably required in connection with the development of the Property, subject to the Property as subdivided complying with applicable zoning and health and safety ordinances. 3.8 Resolution of Disputes. City and Developer agree that Developer must be able to proceed rapidly with the proposed development. Accordingly, the parties agree that if at any time Developer believes that an impasse has been reached with City staff on any issue affecting the proposed development or issuance of a certificate of occupancy, Developer shall have the right to immediately appeal to the Deputy City Manager for Development for a decision pursuant to this Section 3.8. If the issue on which an impasse has been reached where a final decision can be reached by City staff, the Deputy City Manager for Development shall give Developer a final decision no later than eight (8) business days after the request for such decision is made. If issue on which an impasse has been reached is one where a final decision requires City Council action, the Deputy City Manager for Development shall be responsible for scheduling a City Council hearing on the issue no later than three (3) weeks after the request. Both parties agree to continue to use reasonable good faith efforts to resolve any impasse pending any such appeal. The Developer acknowledges that City may not be able to comply with this schedule requiring City Council hearings during the months of December and August. City will, however, use its best efforts in complying as completely as possible during these months. 4. CITY PROVISION OF INCREASED SEWER CAPACITY. 4.1. Sewer Capacity. Developer has represented that it will increase its discharge to the City's sanitary sewer system by 380,000 gallons per day (average) for the proposed Expansion. The Public Works Director, pursuant to the authority granted to her by Tempe City Code Section 27-213(E) has determined that the Developer is a Significant Industrial User (hereinafter "SIU") that is significantly increasing its discharge to the City's sanitary sewer system. The Director has determined that the amount of $1,536,000 is necessary to be assessed as an additional sewer development fee to reimburse the City for the cost associated with providing the sewer collection system capacity and waste water treatment plant capacity calculated or estimated for the SIU considering average daily and peak capacity needs and abilities. The City has represented to the Developer that it has the ability to accommodate the proposed discharge to the City's sanitary sewer system. No connection to the City sanitary sewer system necessary to accommodate the additional 380,000 gallons per day (average) will be permitted or allowed until the additional sewer development fee of $1,536,000 is paid. This fee shall be due and payable upon issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for Phase II but in no event latter than April 1, 1998. 4.2. Up-Front Fees. Developer shall pay to City the nonrefundable sum of One Million Five Hundred Thirty Six Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,536,000) (the "Up Front Fee") for the additional sewer capacity set forth in Section 4.1. 5. FOREIGN TRADE ZONE TAXATION. 5.1. Foreign Trade Subzone Application. The City shall use its best efforts to cause City of Phoenix to sponsor an application to the Foreign Trade Zones Board of the U.S. Commerce Department ("Board") for issuance of a grant of authority for a special purpose foreign-trade subzone ("Subzone") to be operated by Developer covering the structures comprising the Tempe Fab II Facility (Exhibit C) pursuant to the following procedure: 5.1.1. Application. Developer shall prepare a Subzone application ("Application") at its sole cost and expense. 5.1.2. Subzone Operations Agreement. Prior to requesting activation of the Subzone, the City of Phoenix and Developer shall execute a Foreign Trade Subzone Operations Agreement (the "Operations Agreement") permitting Developer to utilize the Subzone as a foreign-trade subzone, subject to the terms and conditions of the Operations Agreement, for an initial period equal to the maximum period allowed by law, thereafter to be automatically extended from year to year unless terminated by the terms thereof. The Operations Agreement shall acknowledge the provisions of Section 5.1.3. It is specifically understood that in the event Foreign Trade Subzone status is not achieved as provided in Section 5.2, and upon payment of the sewer development fee set forth in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 above, Developer shall have an absolute right to unilaterally cancel this Agreement and in such event there shall be no further obligation or liability to City under this Agreement. 5.1.3. City Standing. Developer acknowledges that breach of its property tax class limitations set forth in this Article 5 would be detrimental to the public interest and that Tempe would be a party "directly affected" (as that term is used in 15 CFR Part 400). Developer will not object to the City's standing before the Foreign Trade Zones Board or any other administrative body or court, in the event the City seeks to show that Developer's use of the subzone is not in the public interest and, as a consequence thereof, seeks to terminate the grant of the subzone, or otherwise limit or terminate Developer's use of the subzone. 5.1.4. City Concurrence. The City will execute a letter of concurrence prior to activation of the Subzone by the U.S. Customs Service upon receipt of a written request therefor from Developer, and shall use all reasonable efforts to assist in achieving the Foreign Trade Subzone status and the Operations Agreement with the City of Phoenix, provided that no Developer Performance Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 5.2. Tax Classifications. Arizona Revised Statutes ss. 42-162(A)(8)(b) provides that all real and personal property within the boundaries of a Foreign Trade Zone or subzone shall be classified as Class 8 property for taxation ("Class 8"); provided, however, such classification applies only to the area that is activated for Foreign Trade Zone use by the Port Director of the U.S. Customs Service, pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 146.6, A.R.S. ss. 42-162.01, and the procedures of the Maricopa County Assessor (the "Assessor") require that the owner notify the Assessor that a reclassification of property to Class 8 should be made. 5.3. Foreign Trade Zone Costs. Developer shall pay all costs charged by the City of Phoenix for the formation and oversight of the special purpose foreign trade subzone of the Phoenix Foreign Trade Zone No. 75. 6. CONDITIONS TO DEVELOPER'S OBLIGATIONS. Developer's obligations under this Agreement are subject to satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent: 6.1. Zoning. The City represents and warrants that the Property has been properly classified for I-2 zoning pursuant to the City of Tempe zoning ordinance. City further agrees that this zoning is vested and that no other action is necessary in order to vest the zoning. City further agrees that it will take no action to remove or change the zoning without the prior written consent of the Property owner. 6.2. Foreign Trade Zone Status. Developer anticipates that by June 30, 1998, the United States Department of Commerce will have issued a grant of authority for the ("Subzone") to be operated by Developer within the Property pursuant to procedure set forth in Section 5.1. However, City and Developer both understand and agree that Developer has no influence over the speed at which the United States Department of Commerce processes said grant of authority. 6.3. Approval of Plans and Specifications. The City shall have given Developer all necessary permits and approvals for the construction of the Expansion. 6.4. Property Tax Classification. Developer shall receive written acknowledgment from the Maricopa County Assessor's office that all those portions of the Tempe Fab II Facility and all personal property used therein specified in Section 5.1 have been and will continue to be classified as Class 8 property. 7.

Developer reserves the right to cancel, delay, or abandon construction of all or any part of the Expansion at any time if any court decision determines Class 8 to be unconstitutional or invalid in any respect, if a legal challenge to Class 8 is filed and not resolved to Developer's satisfaction, or if any legislative action repeals or adversely modifies the Class 8 assessment ratio.
