MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), is made as of this
day of August, 2018, by and among the City of Baytown, Texas, a political subdivision of
the State of Texas (the "City"); Cedar Trinity Corporation, a Texas non-profit corporation (the
"Hotel Owner"), an entity exempt from federal income tax under the provisions of Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); and Garfield
Public/Private LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Garfield") (any of them individually, a
"Party," or collectively, the "Parties").
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the City has determined that it is in the best interests of the City to construct
a full-service, upscale hotel and convention center, with related public infrastructure and
facilities and certain surface parking, landscaping, hardscaping and other amenities (the
"Project") that will function as a convention center hotel;
WHEREAS, the City issued a request for proposals Number 03-14-17 (the "RFP") for the
planning, design, construction, and commissioning the Project; and
WHEREAS, Garfield submitted a proposal of a development team that includes
architects, engineers, a construction contractor, and a private bond investor for the hotel which
the City determined provided the best value for the City on the basis of the published selection
criteria and the ranking evaluations, to provide professional services of a team to design,
construct, and operate a convention center and a convention center hotel; and
WHEREAS, the City and Garfield entered into a Pre -Development Services Agreement,
dated July 17, 2017, indicating the intent of the parties thereto to develop the Project (the "Pre -
Development Services Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, as contemplated in the Pre -Development Services Agreement, the Parties
are entering into this Agreement and this Agreement supersedes the Pre -Development Services
Agreement, except to the extent any such obligations are re -stated in this Agreement, in which
event those obligations shall survive as provided herein; and
WHEREAS, the Parties intend that the development of the Project will proceed as
follows: (i) the City will lease to Hotel Owner pursuant to the Ground Lease, a tract of land
located adjacent to the City's convention center in Baytown, Texas, on which an upscale, full-
service Hotel will be constructed, (ii) Garfield, on behalf of the Hotel Owner, will act as
developer to construct the Hotel on the Hotel Site with a minimum of 200 rooms, (iii) Garfield,
pursuant to this Agreement, will act as developer to construct the public, City -owned convention
center facilities, certain surface parking and certain public facilities and infrastructure as set forth
in Exhibit A (the "City Facilities") on other land owned by the City, (iv) the City will lease the
City Facilities to the Hotel Owner, for use as public meeting and convention center facilities and
public parking spaces for use in connection with the Project; and
-4-
WHEREAS, the City desires that Hotel Owner (with Garfield as the developer)
undertake the ownership and development of the Project in order to serve the needs of the City
by helping ensure that there is adequate meeting and event space available to residents of the
City and to promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry within the City. The Project
will generate municipal hotel occupancy taxes, a portion of which may be used to pay debt
service on City obligations issued to construct certain public improvements relating to the
Project; and
WHEREAS, Garfield will act as the developer for the Hotel Owner in the development,
construction, furnishing and equipping of the Hotel, and will act as development manager to the
City in the development, construction, furnishing and equipping of the City Facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City considers the construction, development and operation of a City -
owned convention center to be essential to the preservation and growth of the City's tourism,
economic development and business community; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the City's proposed convention center cannot
be fully, effectively and economically utilized without the construction and operation of a
convention center hotel adjacent to the City's convention center; and
WHEREAS, City considers the ownership and operation of the City Facilities to be in
furtherance of the authorized public purposes of the City and the ownership, development and
operation of the accompanying Hotel to be a legitimate government burden. However, the City
has decided not to undertake by itself the operation of the City Facilities and the ownership and
operation of the accompanying Hotel at this time. The City has proposed that the Hotel Owner
operate the City Facilities and own and operate the Hotel for the benefit of the City and its
residents for the purposes set forth above, and in order to lessen the burdens of the City regarding
the operation of the Project, promote economic development and job creation for the residents of
the City, and generate revenues to pay for City services provided to its residents. The Hotel
Owner's operation of the Hotel (i) relieves the citizens of the City from the tax burden which
would have been incurred if the City had issued municipal bonds for the development and
operation of the Hotel and (ii) will generate additional tax revenue for the City to fund City
purposes; and
WHEREAS, the City believes and has determined that the development, construction,
ownership, and operation of the Hotel by the Hotel Owner for the benefit of the City will actually
lessen the burdens of government for the City to provide economic development and jobs to City
residents and provide and pay for City services to the City's residents; and
WHEREAS, the City has requested that Hotel Owner cooperate (through a public/private
structure) with the City and Garfield to develop, construct, lease and operate the City Facilities,
and develop, construct and own the Hotel, solely for the benefit of the City in providing
governmental services to the City residents, to provide economic development and jobs to City
residents, and to provide and pay for City services to the City's residents; and
-5-
WHEREAS, in order to lessen the burdens of the City as set forth above, the Hotel
Owner now desires to develop, construct, and own the Hotel and to be the borrower of the
proceeds of the Hotel Construction Phase Financing (as defined herein) and to contract with
Garfield to develop and construct the Hotel; and
WHEREAS, the City intends to finance the City Facilities through the issuance of
municipal obligations in one or more series and from lawfully available revenues to provide for
the development, construction, furnishing and equipping of the City Facilities; and
WHEREAS, a bond issuer designated by Hotel Owner intends to issue tax-exempt bonds
pursuant to a bond purchase agreement and the tax-exempt bond proceeds shall be sufficient for
the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing, furnishing and equipping the Hotel and to
pay that portion of the cost of developing the Project that is not funded by the City, all as
described herein;

Representative. After written approval, the draw request shall be submitted to the City's Finance
Department for payment. Progress payments during construction are made within thirty (30)
days of receipt of an approved draw request pursuant to City policy, as long as the payment

request contains sufficient detail for City approval. The City shall pay the amounts set forth in
such draw requests to Garfield and/or General Contractor, as applicable, for their payment to
contractors or for the reimbursement of payments previously made to contractors pursuant to the

right to demand the City Contribution from any other funds of the City.

12.5.4 Notices to Leasehold Mortgagees. If at any time after any security
agreement, pledge agreement, or collateral assignment (a "Mortgage") is executed
granting a security interest in this Agreement and other Project Agreements, and Hotel
Owner, Garfield or the secured party under the Mortgage notifies the City in writing of
the existence of the Mortgage and furnishes the City with the address(es) to which the
Leasehold Mortgagee desires copies of notices to Hotel Owner and/or Garfield under this
Agreement be sent (each such secured party under a Mortgage of whom the City is given
notice being a "Leasehold Mortgagee"), then the City shall thereafter mail (by certified
mail) to each Leasehold Mortgagee or agent thereof, at the address so given, by any
method of delivery permitted hereunder at the same time that the notices of default
required to be sent pursuant to this Agreement. The City's failure to deliver copies of
any notices to any Leasehold Mortgagee will not impair or negate the validity or
effectiveness of any notice delivered to Hotel Owner and/or Garfield nor delay the City's
right to pursue any available remedy other than termination of this Agreement, but will
delay the start of any cure periods afforded to such Leasehold Mortgagee under this
Section until such time as such notices are delivered to the Leasehold Mortgagee, or, with
We
respect solely to those Events of Default for which no cure period is applicable, delay the
City's right to terminate this Agreement and/or the other Project Agreements for a period
of thirty (30) calendar days.
12.5.5 Right to Cure. Any Leasehold Mortgagee, at its option, acting either
directly or indirectly through a designee, may, but shall not be obligated to, cure the
default and perform any other obligation of Hotel Owner or Garfield as necessary to
prevent the termination of this Agreement and/or the other Project Agreements. All
actions taken by Hotel Owner, Garfield or the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee will
be effective to prevent a forfeiture of the rights of Hotel Owner or Garfield hereunder or
under the other Project Agreements as if timely done and performed by Hotel Owner or
Garfield. Any Leasehold Mortgagee may, if Hotel Owner or Garfield desires, provide
that, as between any Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee and Hotel Owner or Garfield,
Hotel Owner, Garfield or the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee, on curing any such
default or defaults or performing any obligations on the part of Hotel Owner or Garfield,
will be thereby subrogated to or put in the position of assignee of any or all of the rights
of Hotel Owner or Garfield under this Agreement and the Project Agreements covered by
Leasehold Mortgagee (subject to Section 12.5.7.)
12.5.6 Option for New Agreement. If this Agreement terminates for any reason,
then Hotel Owner or Garfield shall, and the City shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to, deliver notice of the termination to any Leasehold Mortgagee about which the
City has been notified. Upon request by any Leasehold Mortgagee received by the City
within ninety (90) days after the Leasehold Mortgagee's receipt of the notice of
termination, the City will enter into a new development agreement (a "New Agreement")
for the Hotel, City Facilities with the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee (including
without limitation, a Leasehold Mortgagee Designee, as hereinafter defined) on the same
terms of this Agreement promptly after the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee satisfied
the conditions set forth in Section 12.5.7. If more than one (1) Leasehold Mortgagee
exercises the foregoing option for a new agreement, the City shall enter into a new
agreement with the Leasehold Mortgagee, or its designee, having the highest priority
among those Leasehold Mortgagees who exercised the option.
12.5.7 Obligation to Cure. In order for any Leasehold Mortgage or its designee,
including without limitation, a Leasehold Mortgagee Designee, to become a party to a
New Agreement, whether pursuant to the Leasehold Mortgagee's right under Section
12.5.5, under Section 12.5.6, or otherwise, the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee,
including without limitation, a Leasehold Mortgagee Designee must first:
(a) Cure any monetary default of Hotel Owner and/or Garfield;
(b) Cure any non -monetary default of Hotel Owner or Garfield,
excluding those that by their nature are incapable of cure by any other person or
entity (provided that any new successor to Hotel Owner or Garfield shall not be
permitted to continue such default of Hotel Owner or Garfield or any similar
-52-
default with respect to the new successor to Hotel Owner or Garfield going
forward); and
(c) Enter into a New Lease, as described in the Ground Lease.
12.5.8 Modifications: Surrender. Except in connection with exercising the City's
remedies following an Event of Default for which any Leasehold Mortgagee(s) has
received notice and been afforded any applicable cure periods hereunder as set forth in
this Article 12, the City may not accept any surrender of or agree to any termination of
this Agreement and/or the Project Agreements without the prior written consent thereto
by any Leasehold Mortgagee(s). Any attempt to do so without such written consent will
be void and of no force and effect.
12.5.9 Rights Cumulative. All rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee, Leasehold
Mortgagee Designee, or Leasehold Qualifying Mortgagee Designee under this
Agreement are cumulative and non-exclusive.
12.5.10 Leasehold Mortgagee Designee. As used in this Agreement, any
"Leasehold Mortgagee Designee" shall include the designee selected by a Leasehold
Mortgagee, and any third party that acquires the right under this Agreement from
Leasehold Mortgagee by assignment, as a purchaser, by foreclosure, deed -in -lieu of
foreclosure, sale or otherwise, provided that, in each case, City Representative has
approved such designee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (each a
"Leasehold Mortgagee Designee"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the
Leasehold Qualifying Mortgagee Designee (defined below) may assume the rights and
obligations (except as set forth in Section 12.5.7 hereof) of Hotel Owner or Garfield
under this Agreement and/or the other Project Agreements or become a party to a New
Agreement without the prior written consent of the City Representative. Any other
designee may do so only with the City Representative's prior written approval, not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. The provisions of this Section 12.5.10 shall apply
both with respect to this Agreement and any New Agreement entered into under Section
12.5.6 or otherwise. A "Leasehold Qualifying Mortgagee Designee" means the
Leasehold Mortgagee and any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Leasehold Mortgagee.
12.5.11 Consent of Leasehold MortgageeRequired. No cancellation or
surrender of this Agreement by Hotel Owner or Garfield prior to the commencement of
the Initial Term (as defined in the Lease) shall be effective as to any Leasehold
Mortgagee unless resulting from a failure or refusal by a Leasehold Mortgagee to comply
timely with the provisions of this Article 12 respecting the cure of Events of Default
under this Agreement. No Leasehold Mortgagee shall be bound by any material
modification of this Agreement or the other Project Agreements unless such modification
is consented to by such Leasehold Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld unless the modification adversely affects the value of the Leasehold
Mortgagee's collateral.
-53-
12.5.12 Notice to Leasehold Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, if any Event of Default shall occur, the City shall have no right to
terminate this Agreement or the other Project Agreements unless the City shall deliver
notice to Leasehold Mortgagee of the City's intent to so terminate at least thirty (30)
calendar days in advance of the proposed effective date of such termination. This notice
of termination shall be in addition to any notices previously copied to the Leasehold
Mortgagee and shall specify that it is the notice required by this Section 12.5.12. The
provisions of Section 12.5.13 below shall apply if, within such thirty (30) calendar day
termination notice period, any such Leasehold Mortgagee shall (a) pay or cause to be
paid all amounts then due and in areas as specified in the termination notice to such
Leasehold Mortgagee and which may become due during such thirty (30) calendar day
period, and (b) cure or cause to be cured the default, in good faith and with reasonable
diligence (excluding those that by their nature are incapable of cure by other person or
entity) or (ii) commence to exercise its rights with respect to Hotel Owner or Garfield's
interest in this Agreement by foreclosure, assignment in lieu thereof, preparing for a sale
or transfer of Hotel Owner's interests or otherwise with respect to a Leasehold Mortgage
(which may include a petition to lift any stay imposed in bankruptcy proceedings and any
application to remove any injunction limiting its right to take such actions, so long as, in
each case, the same is diligently and continuously pursued). So long as such Leasehold
Mortgagee timely commenced cure under (i) above, and thereafter diligently pursued the
same, the thirty (30) day period shall be extended for so long as Leasehold Mortgagee
diligently prosecutes such cure up to but not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days from
the expiration of the initial thirty (30) day period. So long as such Leasehold Mortgagee
timely commenced the pursuit of the exercise of its rights under (ii) above, and thereafter
diligently pursued the same, the initial thirty (30) day period shall be extended to allow
Leasehold Mortgagee to pursue the exercise of such rights, provided that it continues to
diligently pursue same, but such extension shall not exceed an additional sixty (60) days
from the expiration of the initial thirty (30) day period.
12.5.13 Procedure on Event of Default.
(a) Transfers After Acquisition Upon Event of Default. Subject to the
provisions of Section 12.5.7, any Leasehold Qualifying Mortgagee Designee or
other permitted party to the Ground Lease or City Facilities Lease and/ or the
other Project Agreements may, upon acquiring Hotel Owner or Garfield's rights
under this Agreement and/ or the other Project Agreements, subject to the consent
of the City to the extent required in this Agreement with respect to any such
proposed transfer, sell and assign Hotel Owner or Garfield's rights under this
Agreement and/or the other Project Agreements on such terms and to such
persons (but without modifying this Agreement) and thereafter shall be relieved
of all obligations Hotel Owner or Garfield under this Agreement and/or the other
Project Agreements arising after the date of such transfer, provided (i) such
transferee assumes in writing for the benefit of City all of the obligations of Hotel
Owner or Garfield under this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 12.4.7(b)
hereof) and the "Tenant" under the Ground Lease and City Facilities Lease and
-54-
(ii) City is notified of such transfer and provided a copy of such assumption
promptly following such transfer.
(b) Foreclosure Event a Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any Foreclosure Event shall be
deemed to be a permitted transfer to the extent, and only to the extent, the
requirements set forth in this Agreement with respect to a transfer of Hotel Owner
or Garfield's interest herein have been satisfied.
(c) Post -Foreclosure Operation. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Agreement, in the event of the acquisition of Hotel Owner's or Garfield's
interest herein and/or in the other Project Agreements by any Leasehold
Mortgagee Designee or any permitted purchaser at a Foreclosure Event, the
operation of the City Facilities by or on behalf of any such acquirer of Hotel
Owner or Garfield's interest herein under this Agreement shall be subject to the
provisions and requirements of this Agreement and the Ground Lease and/or City
Facilities Lease, as applicable.
(d) "Foreclosure Event" shall mean and refer to any foreclosure of any
lien or security interest or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure with respect to any
Mortgage pursuant to which a Leasehold Mortgagee Designee acquires Hotel
Owner or Garfield's rights, titles, interests and obligations (save and except those
obligations that rise to the level of a non -monetary default of Hotel Owner or
Garfield, which Leasehold Mortgagee or Leasehold Mortgagee Designee is not
required to cure under Section 12.5.7(b) under this Agreement). A Foreclosure
Event shall not relieve Hotel Owner or Garfield of any of its obligations under
this Agreement.
12.6. Accounting. Upon the termination of this Agreement by reason of a default under
Section 12.2, Garfield shall render an accounting to the City and Hotel Owner, and, without
diminishing the rights and remedies referred to in Section 12.5, from and after such date, the City
shall not have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except as expressly
provided in this Agreement.

Exhibit B
Performance Standards and Competitive Set
Headquarters Hotel Minimum Performance Standards
As part of the Convention Center Complex, the headquarters hotel is expected to operate at a
performance standard of an "up -scale hotel." The following will serve as benchmarks for
minimum performance standards, unless amended by mutual agreement of the City and Tenant:
Minimum Hotel Performance Standards:
1. Hotel brand of Sheraton or an equivalent up -scale brand.
2. Beginning with the third and fourth full operating years and thereafter throughout the
term of the Lease, the RevPAR of the Hotel for the applicable operating years shall equal
or exceed 92.50 o of the RevPAR of the Competitive Set
3. Provide courtesy shuttle for destinations within 5 miles of hotel.
4. Maintain the performance standards of an upscale, full service hotel so as to qualify to be
rated upscale or better in the Smith Travel Research ("STR") Chain Scales (or
comparable rating scale if the STR Chain Scales is no longer applicable).
Remedies for failure to achieve minimum Performance standards:
1. Written notice to Hotel Owner of any non-performance event.
2. 12 -month opportunity to cure.
3. After Notice and 12 -month cure period without the non-performance event being cured,
the rent due under the Ground Lease shall increase to $25,000 per annum until such non-
performance is cured or the Ground Lease is terminated pursuant to its terms.
4. 24 consecutive months of non-performance without cure after the aforesaid notice to
Hotel Owner may result in notice to terminate by City Council action.
5. Hotel Owner shall promptly submit, following a City Council termination notice, an
operating plan to achieve compliance within 6 months. If Hotel Owner does not achieve
compliance within such 6 -month period, automatic termination of the Ground Lease
without further action by Landlord; provided, however, these termination provisions shall
not waive or modify in any way the provisions of the Project Agreements which provide
default, termination, and/or new lease protection to any trustee or lender.
Competitive Set
1. Competitive Set. The City Representative shall appoint an individual with
expertise in the local hotel market to represent the City in matters related to the Competitive Set
("City Appointee"). The City (acting through its City Appointee) and Hotel Owner shall agree
upon a set of hotels (the "Competitive Set"), which shall be a group of at least five hotels
(including the Hotel) in the Hotel's competitive market area that are most comparable to the
Exhibit B
Hotel in location, quality, price and market segment (with due consideration given to age,
quality, number of guest rooms, room size, facilities, amount of meeting space and business
mix); provided that (i) no single hotel in the Competitive Set may account for more than 30% of
the total guest rooms of all hotels included in the Competitive Set, (ii) each hotel in the
Competitive Set must have been in operation for at least three years, (iii) no hotel in the
Competitive Set shall include a residential component in the calculation of its RevPAR and (iv)
on the date on which the Competitive Set is changed, the RevPAR of the Hotel shall not be less
than the minimum percentage of the minimum RevPAR of the Competitive Set, as described in
the Minimum Hotel Performance Standards set forth herein. The Initial Competitive Set
described below in No. 4 shall constitute the Competitive Set as of the date this Agreement is
executed. During the Project Development Phase or Construction Phase or thereafter, a change
to the Competitive Set may occur. Any change to the Competitive Set shall be agreed by the
City in writing. If the Hotel Owner and the City Appointee are unable to reach agreement on the
Competitive Set, then it shall be determined by expert resolution pursuant to No. 3 below.
2. Change in Competitive Set After Initial Occupancy. The City Representative will
be notified by the Hotel Owner of any proposed changes to the Competitive Set. If the
proposed change to the Competitive Set results in an increase in RevPAR as a result of the new
Competitive Set, the Hotel Owner must submit written evidence to document the increased
RevPAR and must also submit data from Smith Travel Research or such other travel research
data source as approved by the City Appointee, in its sole discretion, to substantiate the
increased RevPAR. If the submitted data substantiates the RevPAR, then the New Competitive
Set shall be deemed approved. If the proposed change to the Competitive Set does not result in
increased RevPAR or the increased RevPAR identified by the Hotel Owner is not supported by
the data submitted to the City Appointee, then the process described in No. 3 below shall apply
to the determination of a new Competitive Set. Upon notification, the City Appointee and the
Hotel Owner shall mutually agree on any changes to the Competitive Set. Any changes to the
Competitive Set will be presented to the Operator. Any changes requested by the Operator
shall be presented to the City Representative for review and approval.
3. Expert Resolution. Any dispute with respect to proper inclusion or exclusion of
hotels to be included in the Competitive Set shall be resolved in accordance with this section.
a) Designation of Expert. The City Representative, Hotel Owner or
Operator (collectively the "Parties" or individually a "Party") may
commence the expert resolution process by providing notice to the other
Parties. The Parties shall have ten (10) days from the date of such notice
to mutually agree on one nationally recognized hospitality industry
consulting firm or individual as the expert. If they fail to agree, each Party
shall have an additional 10 days to each select one nationally recognized
hospitality industry consulting firm or individual to serve as that Party's
expert. Within ten (10) days after the completion of the selection process
by the Parties (but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after the date
of the notice), the two firms and/or individuals so selected shall jointly
designate another such nationally recognized consulting firm or individual
to be the expert. If any Party fails to make its respective selection of a
Exhibit B
firm or individual within the 10 -day period provided for above, then the
other Parties selection shall be the expert. In all cases, the experts selected
shall be "qualified candidates" as described in this Section. To be a
"qualified candidate" the expert shall (i) not have any conflict of interest
with any Party and (ii) have at least ten (10) years' experience in the
hospitality industry consulting business.
b) Procedures. The City Representative, Hotel Owner and Operator
may make written statements and provide supporting materials to the
expert, which must be delivered as soon as practical to the other Parties.
The other Parties may respond to such submissions. The City
Representative, Hotel Owner and Operator shall make available to the
expert all books and records relating to the issues in dispute and shall
provide the expert with any information or assistance reasonably requested
by the expert. The expert shall establish a time table for the making of
submissions and replies and notify the Parties in writing of its decision
within 30 days after the date on which the expert has been selected (or
such other period as the Parties may agree).
C) Decision by Expert. Each Party shall submit its proposed
resolution of the dispute and the expert shall decide in favor of one of the
Parties positions, and may not make any determination other than by
choosing one of the proposals submitted by the Parties. The decision of
the expert shall be final and binding upon the Parties.
Initial Competitive Set. The Initial Competitive Set with respect to the Competitive Set shall be
the Convention Center Hotel constructed pursuant to this Agreement, the Hilton NASA Clear
Lake, the Hilton Garden Inn Clear Lake NASA, the Marriot Hobby Airport and the DoubleTree
Hobby Airport.
