Pursuant to existing law and the authority granted in the Enabling Legislation and other applicable law, the State and the County, as applicable, agree to provide the Company the tax incentives set forth in this ARTICLE VI (the “Tax Incentives”).

6.01 Income Tax Incentives

The Enabling Legislation granted an expanded Jobs Tax Credit against Mississippi income tax of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) per Job for a period of twenty (20) years (the “Income Tax Credit”). The Income Tax Credit shall apply to the total Mississippi income taxes imposed on the income of the Company.

The Income Tax Credit shall apply for twenty (20) consecutive years including the taxable year in which the Commencement Date occurs. At any point within the twenty (20) year period that the average annual number of Jobs falls below five hundred (500), no credit will be generated until the average annual number of Jobs reaches five hundred (500). Any unused credits may be carried forward for up to five (5) years to apply to future Mississippi income tax liability.

6.02 Franchise Tax Incentives

The State agrees to enter into a franchise tax fee-in-lieu or similar agreement with the Company by which Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) annually shall be paid by the Company in Mississippi franchise taxes on the Project for a term of twenty (20) years.

Under the Rebate Program, the Company will receive quarterly incentive payments for a period not to exceed twenty (20) years from the State Tax Commission in an amount which shall be equal to the lesser of three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the wages and taxable benefits for Jobs or the actual amount of Mississippi income tax withheld by the Company for the Jobs. The Company may elect the date upon which the twenty (20) year period will begin (the “Rebate Commencement Date”). Such date may not be earlier than the date on which the Company achieves the Jobs Commitment and not later than seventy-two (72) months after the date the Company applies for the incentive payments.

After each piece of property has been subject to the fee in lieu for 10 years it will be placed on the tax rolls at its depreciated value. Under no circumstance shall any portion of the real estate or equipment be eligible for fee-in-lieu for a period of more than 10 years. The specifics of said fee-in-lieu agreement outlining the responsibilities and obligations of all parties shall include details to protect the County’s initial investment. The first fee-in-lieu payment will be due February 1, 2010.

COMPLIANCE; REMEDIES FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM

9.01 Reporting

Upon request of the State, the Office of the State Auditor or the County, the Company will provide reasonable verification of its compliance with the Investment Commitment or the Jobs Commitment.

9.02 Clawbacks

The State, the County, and the LCIDA have agreed to provide significant financial incentives to the Company in consideration for the Company’s commitment to make the Investment Commitment and the Jobs Commitment. In the event that the Company fails to achieve these investment or job creation minimums, then it agrees to repay the State as follows, with the repayment obligations provided for in this ARTICLE IX being the sole repayment obligations of the Company.

(a) In the event that the State Bond Commission of the State has issued general obligation bonds to fund the State’s commitments to the Project or has otherwise incurred debt for the Project (the “State Debt”) and has expended all or any portion of the proceeds, then in the event the Company fails to meet its Investment Commitment as set out in Section 2.01(b), the State may request the Company to repay the State the percentage of the State Debt or other State funds spent on the Project which equals the percentage of the Investment Commitment not met, including any accrued interest. The State and the Company will first confer in good faith, taking into account all relevant factors, regarding:

(i) the reasons the Company has failed to meet the Investment Commitment,

(ii) the Company’s efforts to correct the problem, and

(iii) mutually acceptable alternatives as to Company performance and enforcement of the provisions of this Section.

If the parties do not reach an agreement, the Company shall make repayment as provided in this Section 9.02(a).

(b) In the event that the State Bond Commission of the State has incurred State Debt for the Project and has expended all or any portion of the said funds, then in the event the Company fails to meet the Jobs Commitment set out in Section 2.01(c), the State may request the Company to pay the State a per Job amount for each Job by which the number of new Jobs falls short of the Jobs Commitment. The per-Job amount payable to the State shall be equal to that amount arrived at by: (1) dividing the amount of the State Debt expended by the Jobs Commitment; (2) then dividing the quotient obtained in (1) by the total number of months in the original term of the Debt issued to fund the State’s contribution to the Project; and (3) then by multiplying the quotient obtained in (2) by the number of whole months remaining until maturity of the term of the State Debt issued to fund the State’s contribution to the Project, as of the time of the default by the Company on its Jobs Commitment. The State and the Company will first confer in good faith regarding:

(i) the reasons the Company has failed to meet the Jobs Commitment,

(ii) the Company’s efforts to correct the problem, and

(iii) mutually acceptable alternatives as to Company performance and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b).

If the parties do not reach an agreement, the State shall provide the Company with notice of default, and the Company will be given ninety (90) days following receipt of such notice to cure such default prior to the per Job payment becoming due and owing.

(c) The Company’s total repayment obligation under this Section 9.02 shall not exceed the amount paid from the State Debt issued to fund the State’s contribution to the Project.

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS

13.01 Time is of the Essence

The Inducers acknowledge that a delay in the completion of the Project will cost the Company substantial amounts of money and, therefore, time is of the essence as to all terms and conditions of this MOU; provided however, that the Parties hereto acknowledge that a delay by the Company of the satisfaction of its obligations hereunder could result in the inability of the Inducers to provide the benefits set forth in this MOU, and, therefore, the Inducers shall not be held accountable for any delay in their performance caused by a delay by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder. It is the intent of the Parties that the construction portion of the Project will proceed expeditiously, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the State. All Parties agree that they will use best efforts in their attempt to have the Project proceed on that schedule. The Inducers will use their best efforts to resolve any matter, not the fault of the Company, which threatens to delay the Project. The Inducers will proceed to undertake all work with a sense of urgency and will use best efforts to accommodate the Company’s schedule. Likewise, the Company will deliver required technical information to the Inducers in a timely fashion so as not to delay the progress of the Project. Further, the provisions of this Section 13.01 are subject to the excuse by any Party by event of

Force Majeure, which shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events that results in the impossibility of performance: acts of God, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and war.

13.02 Press Releases

Each of the Inducers agrees to cooperate fully with the Company to coordinate all press releases, other announcements, events and publications concerning the Project, including, without limitation the initial press release in the event Mississippi is chosen for the Project. The Parties agree that the State, acting through MDA, in consultation with the County, will have sole responsibility in coordinating such activities with the Company.

13.03 Further Assurances

Each of the Inducers agrees to do all things and take all actions required, consistent with this MOU, to establish the Project, including without limitation the obtaining, negotiation, execution and delivery of all necessary or desirable deeds, agreements, filings, consents, authorizations, approvals, licenses and/or permits (including, but not limited to environmental permits). Further, the Parties hereto understand and acknowledge that each Inducer must, and shall, appropriate in, or receive appropriations for, their annual budgets, or issue debt for, the amounts required to fulfill the commitments and financial undertakings agreed to hereunder.

13.04 Supplemental Agreements

The Inducers and the Company acknowledge and agree that supplemental agreements will, from time to time, be appropriate and advantageous in order to ensure a smooth accommodation of development on the scale and time horizon expected for the Project. Recognizing that the commitments of this MOU are broad statements of intent that do not

address specific inducements and commitments in detail, the Parties also agree to negotiate in good faith to provide such other commitments and undertakings as may be reasonably required to ensure that the intent and purposes of this MOU are realized.

13.05 Waivers; Authorizations

The Company, and only the Company, may waive any of the obligations of one or more of the Inducers set forth in this MOU. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power by any Party shall be construed to be a waiver thereof. In the event any provision contained herein shall be waived by the Company, such waiver shall not be deemed to waive any other provision hereunder. To the extent that any Party’s performance subsequent to the Effective Date is subject to any regulatory or governing body approvals or requires approval by qualified electors under applicable law, that party or those Parties shall have no obligation to perform and shall not be liable for non-performance, unless and until such regulatory or governing body approves or authorizes such performance, or such approval of the qualified electors is obtained; provided, however, all Parties affected thereby shall use their best efforts to secure such approval or authorization.

13.06 Successors

All of the provisions herein contained shall be binding upon and for the benefit of the respective successors, assigns and designees of the Parties hereto, to the same extent as if each successor, assign and designee were in each case named as a Party to this MOU.

13.07 Assignment

This MOU and the benefits provided herein are not assignable by the Company without the prior written consent of each Party whose rights or obligations are affected, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that no consent shall be required for

any assignment to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, PACCAR Inc.

13.08 Amendments

This MOU may be amended by mutual agreement of the MDA, MMEIA and the Company and any Inducer whose rights or obligations are thereby affected. Any amendments to this MOU shall be in writing and signed by the affected Party and Company.

13.09 Severability

If any provision of this MOU shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable, the same shall not affect any other provision or provisions herein contained or render the same invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.

13.10 Survival of Representation and Warranties

The representations, warranties and covenants made by the Inducers and the Company and contained herein shall survive the performance of any obligations to which such representations, warranties and covenants relate.

13.11 Term

The term of this MOU shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect through the date on which the Company, its successors and assigns, ceases to operate the Project.

13.12 Choice of Law
