Final Project Agreement -- Terms and Conditions of the FPA (cont.)
  1. OTHER INTEL ACTIVITIES THAT BENEFIT THE ENVIRONMENT

     Intel will include the Ocotillo Site in several other activities that benefit the environment. In particular, Intel is committed to investigate additional, innovative ways to meet the trip reduction requirements of Maricopa County. In addition, the Ocotillo Site will participate voluntarily in Intel's environmental education activities and equipment donation program as described in subsections 2 and 3 below. Finally, any new construction at the Ocotillo Site will comply with the voluntary setback commitment set forth in subsection 4 below.

    1. Implementation Of Trip Reduction Program

       Maricopa County requires employers to participate in its Trip Reduction Program ("TRP") to reduce air pollution from automobiles. The existing program is incentive-based and requires Intel to look for better ways to reduce Single Occupant Vehicle ("SOV") miles traveled.

      • Intel is committed to investigate additional, innovative ways to meet the trip reduction requirements of Maricopa County.

      Intel maintains a database for all Chandler facilities on the length of the trips of its employees who are participating in the TRP, which provides the information necessary to implement its commitment regarding the TRP.

    2. Education Programs On The Environment

       Intel currently is involved in a number of environmental mentoring and educational activities targeted at various groups in the community, including policy makers, other companies, students in all grade levels and other interested parties. Intel has or is developing partnerships with other organizations, such as the Arizona Environmental Strategic Alliance Partnership and the Joint Arizona Center for Manufacturing, Education and Training (JACMET), to provide high quality environmental programs and presentations to the public. In addition, the Company has distributed materials to the community targeted at household hazardous waste reduction and assisted in coordinating the collection process of such waste to help ensure its proper management. Under this FPA, the Ocotillo Site will be an active participant in Intel's environmental education activities and it will coordinate its activities, where appropriate, with programs implemented at either the Intel Arizona Site or at the corporate level. These activities will:

      • Increase both public stewardship and awareness of environmental issues in the Chandler community; and
      • Provide information to help achieve more informed decision making by policy makers.

      A summary of the environmental education activities engaged in by Intel's staff at the Ocotillo Site will be included in the consolidated reports issued quarterly (see Section II(G)).

    3. Donation Of Computers And Manufacturing Equipment

       Intel has a policy of donating new and used computers to schools and libraries as well as used manufacturing equipment to universities. As part of this FPA, the Ocotillo Site will participate in Intel's equipment donation program, which will provide the following benefits:

      • Longer equipment life, thus potentially reducing the burden on landfills; and
      • Recipients obtain equipment they might not otherwise acquire due to budget constraints, which enhances the quality of their education.

      A summary of the status of the Ocotillo Site's participation in Intel's program for donating computers and manufacturing equipment will be included in the consolidated reports issued quarterly (see Section II(G)).

    4. Property Setback For The Ocotillo Site

       The current City of Chandler building code requires a minimum setback of fifty-six (56) feet between manufacturing-related buildings and residential property, plus one foot for each story of building. Intel has established a setback of one thousand (1,000) feet from the closest manufacturing-related building structure of FAB 12 to residential property. Intel also has contoured the landscaping to break up the horizon and add to the aesthetic appeal of the setback. As part of this FPA:

      • Intel commits to maintaining a minimum setback of one thousand (1,000) feet from the closest manufacturing-related building structure on the Ocotillo Site to residential property. Thus, the 1,000 feet setback from residential property will apply to all new manufacturing-related building structures at the Ocotillo Site.

      This commitment will provide continued open space between the Ocotillo Site manufacturing-related buildings and residential dwellings, and thus enhance the well-being of neighboring residents.
