NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration expressed herein, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:
1. License. The City hereby grants to the Association the privilege, license and authority to enter
upon the Property and place the John C. Sjolander House thereon at the location shown on
Exhibit "A" and to perform the obligations required in Section 3. Nothing contained herein,
however, shall be deemed to grant the Association the right to make any alterations or
improvements to the Property without the prior written consent of the City Manager. This
License is expressly contingent upon the Association's performance of services required herein.
Restricted Use. The Property and the John C. Sjolander House shall be used solely as part of the
Republic of Texas public tours and to promote to the public the history of City of Baytown and
for no other purpose. The Association shall not, without the prior written consent of the City

sale of any alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine, in, on, or from the Property;
b. place or maintain or permit the placing or maintaining of any sign or advertising device
of any kind on the exterior walls or roof of the John C. Sjolander House, without
