annexed by the City, during the Term.

any business, activities, facilities, improvements, operations or personnel thereon, the City shall

(C) it shall not impose, or seek to collect, any fees, assessments, or penalties associated

compliance with certain rules or regulations directly relating to the City’s provision of services to
the Property Owner thereunder.
The Parties expressly acknowledge that the Covered Land may be subject to generally

jurisdiction, but not including the City. If the City has any concern regarding the application of
any such regulatory oversight to any portion of the Covered Land, the City shall provide at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Property Owner detailing the City’s concern prior to
contacting or coordinating with any such agency regarding such regulatory concern.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall
failure by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates to comply with federal, state or local statutes,
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations applicable to any portion of the Covered Land constitute a
default by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or entitle the City to
exercise any remedies under this Agreement with respect to such failure.
5.3 Survival of Immunity. The immunities contained in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2
are a contractual obligation authorized by Texas Local Government Code §42.044 and shall be

time to time during the Term, elect to include as Additional Land subject to this Agreement any

immunities described in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions
hereof, the right to add any land as Additional Land is personal to the Property Owner and its
Affiliates and shall not inure to the benefit of, or be exercisable by, any other owner of land within

5.6 Certain Covenants of the City. As a material and fundamental inducement to the
Property Owner to execute and enter into this Agreement and agree to pay the Supplemental
Payments, the City covenants and agrees with and for the benefit of the Property Owner as follows:
(A) (1) The City agrees that it shall not, at any time on or after the Effective Time
and through the expiration of the Term, voluntarily, involuntarily, or otherwise, transfer, release,
swap, or reduce any portion of the Covered Land or any other tract or parcel of land acquired or
owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not then subject to this Agreement and

of the Texas Local Government Code or otherwise, and shall not, at any time on or after the
Effective Time and through the expiration of the Term, voluntarily, involuntarily, or otherwise,
enter into an agreement with any municipality resulting in the transfer, release, swap, or reduction
of any of the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if (i)
any attempt is made by another municipality to annex any portion of the Covered Land or any
other tract or parcel of land acquired or owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that
is not then subject to this Agreement and is, at the applicable time, within the Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction, (ii) any attempt is made by another municipality to include within the extraterritorial
jurisdiction of such municipality any portion of the Covered Land or any other tract or parcel of
land acquired or owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not then subject to
this Agreement and is, at the applicable time, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, or (iii) any
EXHIBIT “A”
- 8 -
incorporation of any new municipality should attempt to include within the boundaries or
extraterritorial jurisdiction of such municipality any portion of the Covered Land or any other tract
or parcel of land acquired or owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not then
subject to this Agreement and is, at the applicable time, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, the
City, in collaboration with the Property Owner, shall promptly and jointly seek a temporary and
permanent injunction against such annexation, inclusion or incorporation, and the City and the
Property Owner shall take any other legal action necessary or advisable under the circumstances
to prevent such annexation, inclusion or incorporation. The cost of the legal action shall be borne
equally by the City and the Property Owner; provided, however, that the fees of any special legal
counsel shall be paid by the Party retaining same.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the City is required by law to transfer, release,
swap, or reduce any of the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction with the effect of removing from the
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction any portion of the Covered Land or any other tract or parcel of land
acquired or owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not then subject to this
Agreement and is, at the applicable time, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, the Property
Owner and the owner of such portion may initiate a voluntary petition to the City to include such
portion within the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, and the City shall consent to such voluntary
petition to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(3) Should, for any reason, any such portion be prevented from being included within
the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, then (i) the City shall immediately release the Property
Owner and the owner of the applicable transferred, released, swapped, or reduced land from any
further obligation to make payment of the PILOT Payment Amount under this Agreement with
respect to the transferred, released, swapped, or reduced land, and (ii) the Property Owner and
such owner’s sole additional remedy shall be to exercise its remedies under Section 4.7(C) of this
Agreement with respect to the applicable transferred, released, swapped, or reduced land; and this
Agreement shall not be terminated.
(B) It is the intent of the Parties that the City will not adopt, implement, or impose any
fees, charges, or taxes of any kind (including any interest, penalties, fines, or additional amounts
in respect thereof) applicable to any portion of the Covered Land or any other tract or parcel of
land acquired or owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not then subject to
this Agreement and is, at the applicable time, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. However, if
the City adopts, implements, or imposes any fees, charges, or taxes of any kind (including any
interest, penalties, fines, or additional amounts in respect thereof) applicable to all land within its
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (including the Covered Land and any and all other tracts or parcels of
land acquired or owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not then subject to
this Agreement and is, at the applicable time, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction), the Property
Owner and/or one or more of its Affiliates, as applicable, shall be entitled to offset an amount
equal to such fees, charges, and/or taxes (including any interest, penalties, fines, or additional
amounts in respect thereof) against its Annual Payment Amount. Such offset shall be applied to
the Annual Payment Amount for the duration of the requirement to pay the fee, charge, or tax.
(C) If the agreements of the City in Section 5.6(A) or Section 5.6(B) are unlawful or
unenforceable for any reason and either (1) the City transfers, releases, swaps, or reduces any
portion of the Covered Land or any other tract or parcel of land acquired or owned by the Property
Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not then subject to this Agreement and is, at the applicable
EXHIBIT “A”

time, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and as a result thereof, directly or indirectly, any fees,
charges or taxes (including any interest, penalties, fines, or additional amounts in respect thereof)
are imposed upon any portion of any of the Covered Land or any other tract or parcel of land
acquired or owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not then subject to this
Agreement and is, at the applicable time, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, or (2) the City
adopts or implements any fees, charges or taxes (including any interest, penalties, fines, or
additional amounts in respect thereof) with regard to any portion of the Covered Land or any other
tract or parcel of land acquired or owned by the Property Owner or any of its Affiliates that is not
then subject to this Agreement and is, at the applicable time, within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction,
then, in either case (and without limitation of the rights and remedies available pursuant to
Section 8.1 below), the Property Owner and/or one or more of its Affiliates, as applicable, affected
thereby, shall have the right to offset the amount of such fees, charges and taxes (including any
interest, penalties, fines, or additional amounts in respect thereof) paid by the Property Owner
and/or one or more of its Affiliates, as applicable, against payments of the Annual Payment
Amount due from the Property Owner and/or one or more of its Affiliates, as applicable, (and
thereafter becoming due) until the Property Owner and/or one or more of its Affiliates, as
applicable, has recouped the amount of such fees, charges and taxes (including any interest,
penalties, fines, or additional amounts in respect thereof) through such offset.
ARTICLE VI
Industrial District Payments
6.1 Annual Calculation Statements; Disputes. On or before December 1st of each of
the Tax Years 2024 through and including 2035, the City shall deliver to the Property Owner a
written statement setting forth the calculation of the Annual Payment Amount due from the
Property Owner for such Tax Year (the “City’s Calculation”). For each of such Tax Years, the
Property Owner shall have forty-five (45) days after receipt of the City’s Calculation to dispute
the City’s Calculation by providing written notice to the City (a “Calculation Dispute”). The
Property Owner’s notice of a Calculation Dispute shall contain the reason for the dispute and a
calculation of the Property Owner’s determination of the Annual Payment Amount for such Tax
Year. The City and the Property Owner shall meet in person within fifteen (15) days after receipt
by the City of such notice of a Calculation Dispute to attempt to resolve any disparities. If the
Property Owner does not provide notice of a Calculation Dispute within forty-five (45) days
following receipt of the City’s Calculation, the City’s Calculation shall be deemed approved and
binding upon the City and the Property Owner, in the absence of manifest error.
6.2 Payment by the Property Owner. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, with
respect to each of the Tax Years 2024 through and including 2035, the Property Owner shall remit
to the City the Annual Payment Amount due with respect to such Tax Year on or before the later
of (i) the January 31 immediately following the end of such Tax Year, (ii) sixty (60) days after the
City delivers to the Owner the City’s Calculation with respect to such Tax Year, and (iii) in the
case of a Calculation Dispute, fifteen (15) days after such Calculation Dispute is resolved.
6.3 Effect of Appeal or Other Adjustment on Annual Payment Amount. If at the time
the City prepares the City’s Calculation for any of the Tax Years 2024 through and including
2035 there are any administrative or judicial protests, appeals, or other proceedings pending with
respect to all or any portion of the Owner Value Amount for such Tax Year or with respect to
EXHIBIT “A”
- 10 -
any aspect of the determination of the Effective Tax Rate (a “Pending Appeal”), the City shall
prepare the City’s Calculation with respect to such Tax Year, and any Calculation Dispute with
respect thereto shall be resolved, on the basis of the Owner Value Amount for such Tax Year as
most recently certified by the Harris County Appraisal District and/or the Chambers County
Appraisal District, as applicable, and the property tax rate per $100 of taxable value adopted by
the City (any Annual Payment Amount so calculated and resolved for such Tax Year in the case
of any Pending Appeal is referred to herein as the “Preliminary Annual Payment Amount”).
Upon the occurrence of a Final Determination of any such Pending Appeal, the City shall
promptly recalculate the amount of the Annual Payment Amount due from the Property Owner
for such Tax Year to reflect any change in such certified Owner Value Amount or such property
tax rate per $100 of taxable value adopted by the City, as the case may be, resulting from such
Final Determination and shall deliver to the Property Owner a written statement setting forth such
recalculation and the amount, if any, by which the Annual Payment Amount so recalculated
exceeds the Preliminary Annual Payment Amount (as appropriately adjusted, if applicable, to
reflect any previous payment(s) resulting from any previous recalculation(s) of the Annual
Payment Amount under this Section 6.3), or the Preliminary Annual Payment Amount (as so
adjusted, if applicable) exceeds the Annual Payment Amount so recalculated, as the case may be
(the “City’s Recalculation”). The Property Owner shall have forty-five (45) days after receipt of
the City’s Recalculation to dispute the City’s Recalculation by providing written notice to the
City (a “Recalculation Dispute”). The Property Owner’s notice of a Recalculation Dispute must
contain the reason for the dispute and a calculation of the Property Owner’s determination of the
Annual Payment Amount for such Tax Year. The City and the Property Owner shall meet in
person within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the City of such notice of a Recalculation Dispute
to attempt to resolve any disparities. If the Property Owner does not provide notice of a
Recalculation Dispute within forty-five (45) days following receipt of the City’s Recalculation,
the City’s Recalculation shall be deemed approved and binding upon the City and the Property
Owner, in the absence of manifest error. If:
(i) the Annual Payment Amount so recalculated (and, if applicable, resolved)
exceeds the Preliminary Annual Payment Amount (as so adjusted, if applicable), then the
Property Owner shall pay the amount of such excess, without interest or penalty, to the
City on or before the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the City delivers to the Property
Owner the City’s Recalculation with respect to such Tax Year, and (ii) in the case of a
Recalculation Dispute, fifteen (15) days after such Recalculation Dispute is resolved; and
(ii) the Preliminary Annual Payment Amount (as so adjusted, if applicable)
exceeds the Annual Payment Amount so recalculated (and, if applicable, resolved), then
the City shall pay the amount of such excess, without interest or penalty, to the Property
Owner on or before the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the City delivers to the Property
Owner the City’s Recalculation with respect to such Tax Year, and (ii) in the case of a
Recalculation Dispute, fifteen (15) days after such Recalculation Dispute is resolved.
6.4 Certain Matters Relating to the Calculation of the Annual Payment Amount for
the Tax Year 2024.
(A) The Parties acknowledge that the Initial Land includes an 81.589-acre tract of land
EXHIBIT “A”
- 11 -

execution of this Agreement. The Parties agree that for purposes of the calculation of the PILOT
Payment Amount for the Tax Year 2024, the Owner Value Amount relating to such 81.589-acre
tract of land and any tangible property located thereon shall be determined as though such 81.589-
acre tract of land and any tangible property located thereon were taxable property owned by the
Property Owner on January 1, 2024, notwithstanding any appraisal records prepared by the Harris
County Appraisal District for the Tax Year 2024 that (i) list such 81.589-acre tract of land and any
tangible property located thereon in the name of the City as the owner, or (ii) reflect that such
81.589-acre tract of land and any tangible property located thereon are exempt property by reason
of ownership by the City.
(B) The Parties further acknowledge that the Initial Land includes a 366.769-acre tract
of land (which includes the Re-conveyed Land), a 104.534-acre tract of land, and a 64.183-acre
tract of land, all of which tracts of land (collectively, the “Disannexed Land”) were disannexed
by the City before the Parties’ execution of this Agreement, but after January 1, 2024. To the
extent any of the Disannexed Land and/or any tangible property located thereon is subject to
property taxation by the City for the Tax Year 2024 (whether by reason of any appraisal records
prepared by the Harris County Appraisal District for the Tax Year 2024 that reflect such
Disannexed Land and/or such tangible property located thereon is located within the boundaries
of the City and subject to property taxation by the City, or otherwise), the Parties agree that (i)
the calculation of the PILOT Payment Amount due from the Property Owner for the Tax Year
2024 shall exclude such Disannexed Land and/or such tangible property located thereon and the
Owner Value Amount related thereto from the calculation of the PILOT Payment Amount for the
Tax Year 2024, and (ii) the PILOT Payment Amount for the Tax Year 2024 so calculated shall
be reduced by an amount equal to the portion of the City’s property taxes imposed on such
Disannexed Land and/or such tangible property located thereon for the Tax Year 2024 that is in
excess of the PILOT Payment Amount that would have been required to be paid to the City under
this Agreement for the Tax Year 2024 with respect to such Disannexed Land and/or such tangible
property located thereon had such Disannexed Land been disannexed prior to January 1, 2024,
and included in the calculation of the Annual Payment Amount.

ARTICLE VIII
Default
8.1 City Default. In the event of an occurrence of an Act of Default by the City
(including the City’s breach or attempted breach of its covenants and agreements contained in
Section 5.1 and Section 5.2), and such Act of Default continues (i) for a period of thirty (30) days
following written notice of such failure describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating
thereto (the “City First Notice”) from the Property Owner to the City, and (ii) for a period of ten
(10) days following a second notice of such failure from the Property Owner to the City (which
second notice shall be sent not earlier than thirty-one (31) days after the date the City First Notice
is sent and shall be marked conspicuously with “SECOND NOTICE —- FAILURE TO PAY
EXHIBIT “A”
- 13 -
OR PERFORM WITHIN TEN DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE
SHALL CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT UNDER THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
AGREEMENT DATED ________________, 2024”), then the Property Owner and its Affiliates
affected by such Default shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies set forth in this
Agreement and all rights and remedies available at law or in equity, be entitled to specific
performance and temporary and permanent injunctive and any other equitable relief from the date
of such Act of Default for the balance of the Term (without proof of actual damage or inadequacy
of legal remedy and without the necessity of posting a bond). The City stipulates and agrees that
damages may not be an adequate remedy to the Property Owner and its Affiliates for the City’s
breach of this Agreement, and that injunctive relief with respect to any breach, or threatened
breach, of this Agreement by the City is appropriate and necessary to provide the Property Owner
and its Affiliates the benefits of this Agreement.
8.2 Property Owner Default. In the event the Property Owner fails to pay to the City
by the date prescribed by Section 5.2 the full Annual Payment Amount owed to the City, or fails
to perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement in this Agreement, and such
failure continues (i) for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice of such failure
describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto (the “Company First Notice”) from
the City to the Property Owner, and (ii) for a period of ten (10) days following a second notice of
such failure from the City to the Property Owner (which second notice shall be sent not earlier
than thirty-one (31) days after the date the Company First Notice is sent and shall be marked
conspicuously with “SECOND NOTICE —- FAILURE TO PAY OR PERFORM WITHIN
TEN DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE SHALL CONSTITUTE A
DEFAULT UNDER THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AGREEMENT DATED
________________, 2024”), then the City shall have the right to institute suit for and collect and
enforce a judgement against the Property Owner for such payment and the City shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement. The applicable period described above for curing any such
failure shall toll, and shall not be considered for any purpose as having run, beginning upon the
day the Property Owner files a petition in district court in Harris County, Texas, to determine
whether such failure has in fact occurred under this Agreement and/or to determine whether any
attempt to cure has been sufficient. The tolling described in the preceding sentence will end, and
the time period during which a cure of any such failure must be made will again begin to run, upon
the issuance of a final court decision and all appeals therefrom are exhausted. Should this
Agreement be terminated as provided in this Section 8.2, the City may, to the extent permissible
under then-current state law, pursue annexation of the Covered Land as to which this Agreement
has been terminated to the fullest extent permissible under then-current state law.
ARTICLE IX

Property Owner’s Affiliates); and following any such sale, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other

Covered Land; provided, however, that the Property Owner shall remain liable and responsible for
payment of all Annual Payment Amounts owed to the City under this Agreement and for

disposed or divested to such other person or entity, in which event the City and the Property Owner
shall negotiate in good faith with each other to mutually agree on the form and substance of an
amendment to this Agreement to remove such portion of the Covered Land from this Agreement
