ARTICLE III.

SALE OF LAND; RESERVATIONS; DEVELOPMENT

3.1 Sale of Land. In consideration of and pursuant to the covenants, agreements and conditions set forth herein, MEDC agrees to sell, and Owner agrees to buy, all of MEDC’s right, title, and interest in and to the Land, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, under a special warranty deed containing a restrictive covenant prohibiting the Land from being used for multifamily residential purposes, and the rights and reservations of the MEDC under this Agreement.

Owner shall only be granted air rights over or subsurface rights under the Land to the extent that any such rights are owned by MEDC as of the effective date of this Agreement. From and after the effective date of this Agreement, neither the City Parties nor Owner shall develop, permit any development of, or interfere in any way with any of the air rights, air space above the Land, or any of the subsurface rights and space below the Land that are inconsistent with such ownership rights without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

3.2 Title. Owner may, at its cost and expense as a portion of Total Project Costs, conduct such title review of the Complex Site as Owner determines is reasonably necessary and Owner shall provide to the MEDC a copy of any title commitments or reports received by Owner in connection therewith. MEDC shall have no obligation to correct, modify or release any aspects of the Land’s title.

3.3 Delivery of Possession; Payment of Purchase Price; Reservations.

3.3.1 Delivery of Possession. Owner shall acquire the Land from MEDC on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following Entitlement, as hereinafter defined (the “Closing Date”). for a purchase price of Thirty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($35,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”). On the Closing Date, and subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth herein, and the payment of the Purchase Price, MEDC shall deliver to Owner marketable title and exclusive possession, use and occupancy of the Land free of all tenancies and parties in possession subject only to (i) the Permitted Exceptions, as specifically described on Exhibit C, (ii) a covenant prohibiting the Land from being used for multi-family residential purposes, and (iii) the rights and reservations of the MEDC under this Agreement. Owner shall not conduct any land disturbance activities on the Land until after closing.

3.3.2 Payment of Purchase Price; Default. At closing, Owner shall have the option to pay the Purchase Price (i) in full, in cash, plus Owner’s closing costs under standard commercial transaction terms for property of a similar nature located in Collin County, Texas, or (ii) with Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), plus Owner’s closing costs, paid in cash, and the remaining Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) represented by a secured promissory note to MEDC in substantial conformance with the form of note attached hereto as Exhibit B, bearing no interest and subject to prepayment at any time with no penalty, and secured by a Letter of Credit, as defined in Appendix A, issued to MEDC for Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) (the “Note”), and issued by a banking institution reasonably approved by MEDC. If Owner exercises its right to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to option (ii), the Note shall be due and payable in full to MEDC thirty (30) days following the earlier of (x) Owner’s receipt of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (“TCO”) or (y) the occurrence of an Owner Default. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on or before July 15, 2024, by written notice to City Parties, if Owner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Land is not suitable for construction of the Project Improvements as contemplated by Owner. In the event Owner does not terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.3.2 on or before July 15, 2024, Owner’s failure to purchase the Land in accordance with this Section 3.3 shall constitute an event of default subject to the remedies set forth in Section 23.2.1. For the avoidance of doubt, Owner shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence after July 15, 2024.

3.3.3 Operational Rights; Revenue. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Owner shall have full and exclusive control of the management and operation of the Complex Site. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, Owner and Operator shall market, control, and be entitled to receive all revenues of any source generated by or from the Complex Site or the operation or management thereof regardless of medium (physical, digital or virtual), net of taxes, including, but not limited to, rental or license fees, admission ticket revenue and premium seating, all parking fees, all revenues derived from the sale of programs, novelties and concessions, all sponsorship revenues and facility naming revenues, all radio, television, cablecast, pay television, streaming and any other broadcasting revenues of any type whatsoever, irrespective of method of transmission or whether derived from the sale of broadcasting or streaming rights, broadcast or streaming advertising or other sources of revenue relating to broadcasting or streaming, and all advertising and signage revenues of any type whatsoever (whether interior or exterior), except for certain civic-oriented events described herein, and including all revenues from the sale of advertising and signage on or about the Complex Site, and all merchandising. Except as expressly set forth herein, Owner shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Complex and its events, including, without limitations, operating, utilities, insurance, facilities, furniture, fixtures, and equipment repair, maintenance and replacement costs; provided, however, Owner shall have no obligation to fund utility infrastructure installation or expansion not directly attributable to the Complex unless Owner receives reimbursement, in its entirety, from the City for such infrastructure. Owner shall operate and maintain (or cause others to operate and maintain) the Complex in a safe, clean, attractive, and First Class manner and consistent in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of all Governmental Authorities and the Operating Standard.

3.4.2 Utilities. The right of the City, at City’s sole cost and expense, to install on, under, over or below the Complex Site any and all utilities and appurtenances related to the City’s master utility plans that it reasonably deems necessary; provided, however, that Owner shall be given at least thirty (30) days to review and approve the location, nature, and scope of any such utilities, which Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided further that the utilities or appurtenances to be installed by the City pursuant to this Section 3.4.2, if any, shall: (a) be located in the building improvement or parking setback areas affecting the Land as specified in the City Utility Plan and shall not interfere in any material respect with Owner’s use of such setback area; (b) all pipes, lines, and other improvements shall be buried to a depth of at least three feet (3’); and (c) Owner shall have the right to cross such utilities and appurtenances and to construct roads, sidewalks and driveways over such utilities and appurtenances. All construction of such utility lines and appurtenances shall be promptly completed and shall not unreasonably interfere with Owner’s construction activities, conduct of business or obligations under Applicable Law. In addition, the City shall promptly repair or replace all landscaping, trees, irrigation lines, surface materials, paving, asphalt, concrete, fences, sidewalks and other facilities located on the Complex Site to the condition that existed immediately prior to such utility construction or maintenance by the City at no cost or expense to Owner, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing.

3.5 Development. Owner’s development activities on the Land shall relate exclusively to the development of the Project Improvements and related parking. For the avoidance of doubt, the City Parties and Owner acknowledge and agree that this Section 3.5 shall not be in derogation of any use rights afforded Owner hereunder, including pursuant to Section 12.1.

ARTICLE IV.

PARKING AND SITE COORDINATION

4.1 Parking, Transit, and Event Plan.

(a) The Parties shall work together to, and before Substantial Completion shall, develop a reasonable transportation, parking and event plan (including a traffic impact analysis at Owner’s cost), which shall be subject to reasonable Approval by the City consistent with existing and applicable regulations, and for which the City agrees to reasonably assist in the coordination of all relevant City, County and State agencies and relevant stakeholder groups. The transportation, parking and event plan shall address the following: on-site parking opportunities; enforcement for the affected surrounding areas on event days and during significant events; clearly defined roles and responsibilities for implementation; and determining standards and enforcement for minimizing adverse impact to surrounding communities related to event hours, noise levels, and other quality of life issues. With respect to the standards for hours, noise, and other quality of life issues, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the transportation, parking and event plan shall require that (i) any event at the Complex Site shall end at or before 11:15 p.m., and (ii) noise monitoring shall be conducted during performances at the front-of-house mix position and at certain agreed property line locations. The noise limits at front-of-house mix position shall not exceed an L10 of 104 dBA in any thirty (30) minute period or an L90 of 98 dBA in any thirty (30) minute period. That certain Environmental Noise Assessment (noise study) dated April 12, 2024 prepared by Owner’s consultant, LSTN, is incorporated, in its entirety, into this Agreement and attached hereto as Exhibit H. The Aggregate Effect tables (pp. 12-13), Operational Mitigation (pp. 13-14), and specifically the Noise Monitoring and Performance Controls (p. 14) shall be performance strategies (the “Sound Strategies”) employed and maintained by the Owner for all events. Owner shall require any Operator to contractually bind such Operator and any Artist performing at the Complex to operate within such parameters. In addition to the foregoing Sound Strategies, Owner shall design and construct the Complex in a manner consistent with the Sound Strategies described in this Section 4.1(a).

(b) Owner, at its sole cost, shall be responsible for all costs related to Owner’s events, including, but not limited to, police, traffic control, fire prevention, emergency medical, street cleaning and street trash removal and other municipal resources within the Complex Site and, to the extent reasonably attributable to Owner’s events, outside the Complex Site. If not otherwise addressed in the transportation, parking and event plan, the Owner, upon receiving sixty (60) days’ notice from a City Party, shall permit any City Party to use the parking facilities during times when there are no Commercial Events, for specific public and civic events. The respective City Party shall reimburse Owner for such use of the parking facilities by payment to the Owner of a per diem fee, in an amount not to exceed Owner’s actual, annual utility, insurance and maintenance expenses for the prior year, attributable to the parking facilities only, divided by 365, within thirty (30) days after the date(s) such parking facilities were used by a City Party.

4.2 Signage.

(a) Prior to Substantial Completion, the City and Owner shall develop and agree upon a reasonable off-site directional signage plan guiding pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and other attendees to the Complex and parking facilities serving the Complex. City and Owner shall approach other Governmental Authorities (e.g., the Texas Department of Transportation) as appropriate in order to request that they provide directional signage to the extent within their control. All directional signage costs shall be paid by Owner. The Parties agree to reasonably consider the allocation of responsibilities in a manner consistent with those of other similar amphitheaters and/or outdoor entertainment venues in Texas in such signage plan; provided, however, such plan must be in compliance with City Codes and Applicable Law.

(b) The City Parties and Owner shall also work in good faith to develop and agree upon a reasonable comprehensive, state-of-the-art Signage program on-site (both digital and projection), subject to final Approval by the City. City acknowledges the strategic and economic importance of the signage program to the long-term viability of the Complex, and the Parties shall implement a program that is reasonably acceptable to the Owner, subject to City Codes. The official name of the Complex shall include “McKinney,” (including, without limitation, a name such as “at McKinney” or a name similar thereto) and such official name shall be mutually agreed by the Parties. Such plan shall include, but not be limited to:

(i) outdoor signage (digital, projection and/or otherwise) advertising Complex events and attractions which could include digital or other creative forms of signage;

(ii) the right of Owner to control and sell all advertising, sponsorship and promotional inventory related to the signage and to retain all revenues related thereto, including third-party advertisements and outdoor media programming on the Owner digital signage; and

(iii) (A) there shall be one Electronic Message Display, Level 3 sign permitted with a maximum of 200 square feet within the Complex. The City Parties shall receive or have access, at Owner’s cost, to one prominent sign within the amphitheater, and (B) the City Parties shall receive, at Owner’s cost, five (5), eight-second click per 5-minute advertising increment on the Electronic Message Display, Level 3 sign for the Term of this Agreement.

(c) To the extent permitted by Texas law and subject to any and all limitations on the City’s rights and powers to do so, the City agrees to reasonably cooperate with Owner to secure for Owner any and all permits, licenses and approvals necessary to allow certain Complex logos, decals, markings, and emblems on the surrounding (specific locations as mutually agreed by the Parties, not to be unreasonably withheld) City-owned public infrastructure (e.g., on sidewalks, lighting and signage structures, manhole covers, fire hydrants, etc.) in and around the Complex Site, it being understood that such materials may include branding from sponsors (e.g., naming rights partner). Unless approved by the City in advance and subject to the conditions in Section 25.9, naming rights, sponsors, logos, decals, markings and emblems proposed for use in the Complex shall not include the following: (i) tobacco and any products used to consume tobacco, including but not limited to vaping; (ii) sexual or adult oriented products or services; (iii) drugs (whether legal or illegal) and any products used to consume drugs; (iv) firearms/weapons; or (v) political candidates or ballot initiatives. The rights provided for in this paragraph (c) are in addition to, and do not limit, any rights Owner may obtain pursuant to other applicable City and other Governmental Authority programs.

(d) All Signage shall comply with all Applicable Law including, without limitation, City Codes.

The provisions of this Section 11.4 shall be applicable with respect to all instances in which it is provided under this Agreement that City Parties, City Representative, Owner or the Owner Representative exercises Review and Approval Rights (as defined below); provided, however, that if the provisions of this Section 11.4 specifying time periods for exercise of Review and Approval Rights shall conflict with other express provisions of this Agreement providing for time periods for exercise of designated Review and Approval Rights, then the provisions of such other provisions of this Agreement shall control. As used herein, the term “Review and Approval Rights” shall include, without limiting the generality of that term, all instances in which one Party (the “Submitting Party”) is permitted or required to submit to the other Party or to the representative of that other Party any document, Notice or determination of the Submitting Party and with respect to which the other Party or its representative (the “Reviewing Party”) has a right or duty hereunder to review, comment, confirm, consent, Approve, disapprove, dispute or challenge the submission or determination of the Submitting Party.

11.4.2 Standard for Review. Unless this Agreement specifically provides that a Party’s Review and Approval Rights may be exercised in the sole discretion of the Reviewing Party, then in connection with exercising its Review and Approval Rights under any provision of this Agreement, and whether or not specifically provided in any such provision, the Reviewing Party covenants and agrees to timely act in good faith, with due diligence, and in a fair and commercially reasonable manner in its capacity as Reviewing Party with regard to each and all of its Review and Approval Rights and (to the extent Approval, consent or confirmation is called for) to not unreasonably withhold its Approval of, consent to or confirmation of any submission or determination. The Reviewing Party shall review the matter submitted in writing and shall promptly (but in any event within fifteen (15) days after such receipt) give Notice to the Submitting Party of the Reviewing Party’s comments resulting from such review and, if the matter is one that requires Approval or confirmation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Approval, confirmation, disapproval or failure to confirm, setting forth in detail the Reviewing Party’s reasons for any disapproval or failure to confirm. Any failure to respond within the foregoing fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed to be an Approval or confirmation of the matter submitted and shall preclude subsequent disapproval or objection to the matter so submitted. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Reviewing Party’s right to disapprove or not confirm any matter submitted to it for Approval or confirmation and to which this Section 11.4.2 applies shall be limited to the elements thereof: (i) which do not conform in all material respects to Approvals or confirmations previously given with respect to the same matter; or (ii) which propose or depict matters that are or the result of which would be a violation of or inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, if a matter is submitted for review only (but not for confirmation), then in no event shall the foregoing process be construed to provide the Reviewing Party with any rights to Approve (or disapprove), consent (or not consent) or otherwise to prevent the other Party from undertaking the applicable action following the review period provided for above.

If the Reviewing Party disapproves of or fails to confirm a matter to which this Section 11.4.3 applies within the applicable time period (it being understood that this Section 11.4.3 applies only to those matters that expressly require the Approval, consent or confirmation of a Reviewing Party), the Submitting Party shall have the right to re-submit promptly the disapproved or not confirmed matter to the Reviewing Party, altered to satisfy the Reviewing Party’s basis for disapproval or failure to confirm. Similarly, if a matter is submitted for review and an objection is raised, the Submitting Party may, in its discretion, elect to re-submit such matter. The applicable Submitting Party shall use reasonable efforts to cause any such resubmission to expressly state that it is a resubmission, to identify the disapproved or not confirmed portion of the original submission (or the portion to which an objection was raised, if the Submitting Party elects to re-submit a matter submitted for review as to which a timely objection was raised) and any prior resubmission, and to not be included with an original submission unless the matter previously disapproved is expressly identified thereon. Any resubmission made pursuant to this Section 11.4.3 shall be subject to Review and Approval Rights of the Reviewing Party in accordance with the procedures described in Section 11.4.2. for an original submission (except that the Review and Approval Rights shall be limited to the portion previously disapproved or not confirmed), until such matter shall be Approved by the Reviewing Party.

11.4.4 Duties, Obligations and Responsibilities Not Affected. Approval or confirmation by the Reviewing Party of or to a matter submitted to it by the Submitting Party shall neither, unless specifically otherwise provided (1) relieve the Submitting Party of its duties, obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement with respect to the matter so submitted, nor (2) shift the duties, obligations or responsibilities of the Submitting Party with respect to the submitted matter to the Reviewing Party.

Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of any such Notice by one Party to the other Party regarding a Dispute or Controversy, City Representative and the Owner Representative shall meet at a mutually agreed time and place to attempt, with diligence and in good faith, to resolve and settle the Dispute or Controversy. If a mutual resolution and settlement are not obtained at the meeting of City Representative and the Owner Representative, they shall cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner to determine if techniques such as mediation or other techniques of alternate dispute resolution might be useful. If a technique is agreed upon, a specific timetable and completion date for implementation shall also be agreed upon. If such technique, timetable or completion date is not agreed upon within thirty (30) days after the Notice of the Dispute or Controversy was delivered, or if no resolution is obtained through such alternative technique, or if no such meeting takes place within the fifteen (15)-day period, then either Party may by Notice to the other Party resolve the Dispute or Controversy by commencing an action, suit or proceeding against the other Party in any state court located in, the City of XxXxxxxx, Texas.

Such a work stoppage shall not constitute an Excusable Owner Delay.

19.4 Additional Policy Requirements.

19.4.1 Approval of Insurers; Certificate and Other Requirements.

(a) All insurance policies required to be carried by Owner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be effected under valid policies issued by insurers authorized to do business in the State of Texas and which have an A.M. Best Company, Inc. rating of “A-” or better and a financial size category of not less than “VIII”. If A.M. Best Company, Inc. no longer uses such rating system, then the equivalent or most similar ratings under the rating system then in effect, or if A.M. Best Company, Inc. is no longer the most widely accepted rater of the financial stability of insurance companies providing coverage such as that required by this Agreement, then the equivalent or most similar rating under the rating system then in effect of the most widely accepted rater of the financial stability of such insurance companies at the time. Owner may utilize insurers with lower ratings with the prior written Approval of the City Parties.

(b) Each and every insurance policy required to be carried by or on behalf of the Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall provide (and any certificate evidencing the existence of each such insurance policy shall certify) that such insurance policy shall not be canceled, non-renewed or coverage thereunder materially reduced unless the City shall have received Notice of cancellation, non-renewal or material reduction in coverage, in each such case (except for Notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums) such Notice to be sent to the City not less than thirty (30) days (or the maximum period of days permitted under Applicable Law, if less than thirty (30) days) prior to the effective date of such cancellation, non-renewal or material reduction in coverage, as applicable. If any insurance policy required to be carried by or on behalf of Owner pursuant to this Agreement is to be canceled due to non-payment of premiums, the requirements of the preceding sentence shall apply except that the Notice shall be sent to the City on the earliest possible date but in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such cancellation.

(c) Each and every insurance policy required to be carried by the Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall provide that the policy is primary and that any other insurance of any insured, Loss Payee or additional insured thereunder with respect to matters covered by such insurance policy shall be excess and non-contributing.

(d) Owner shall require all subcontractors performing any of the Construction Work to carry insurance and otherwise complying with the requirements of Section 20.1 of this Agreement; provided, however, the amount and type of such subcontractor’s insurance must be commensurate with the amount and type of the subcontract, but in no case less than what would be required by a Reasonable and Prudent Developer or a Reasonable and Prudent Operator, as applicable. Owner shall provide certificates of insurance regarding all such subcontractor policies to City in accordance with Section 19.4.2.

(e) Owner shall comply in all material respects with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Board of Fire Underwriters or any other similar body having jurisdiction, in the case of fire insurance policies, or as approved by carrier underwriters in place of regulations or jurisdictional requirement.

19.4.2 Delivery of Evidence of Insurance. With respect to each and every one of the insurance policies required to be obtained, kept or maintained under the terms of this Agreement, on or before the date on which each such policy is required to be first obtained and at least five (5) days before the expiration of any policy required hereunder previously obtained, the Party required to obtain, keep or maintain such policy shall deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to the other Party showing that such insurance is in full force and effect. Such evidence shall include certificates of insurance (on the XXXXX 25 form for Liability coverages and XXXXX 28 form for Property coverages) issued by a Responsible Officer of the issuer of such policies, or in the alternative, a Responsible Officer of an agent authorized to bind the named issuer, setting forth the name of the issuing company, the coverage, primary limits, primary deductibles, endorsements, term and, in the case of Owner only, along with a similar certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of Owner. Further, each Party agrees to promptly deliver Notice to the other Party of any facts or circumstances of which it is aware which, if not disclosed to its insurers or re-insurers, is likely to affect adversely the nature or extent of the coverage to be provided under any insurance policy required hereunder.

19.4.3 Waiver of Right of Recovery. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND WITHOUT AFFECTING THE INSURANCE COVERAGES REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED HEREUNDER, CITY PARTIES AND OWNER EACH WAIVE ALL RIGHTS OF RECOVERY, CLAIM, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER FOR ANY DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, AND RELEASE EACH OTHER FOR SAME, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH DAMAGE (I) IS COVERED (AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH COVERAGE WITHOUT REGARD TO DEDUCTIBLES) BY INSURANCE ACTUALLY CARRIED BY THE PARTY HOLDING OR ASSERTING SUCH CLAIM OR (II) WOULD BE INSURED AGAINST UNDER THE TERMS OF ANY INSURANCE REQUIRED TO BE CARRIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY THE PARTY HOLDING OR ASSERTING SUCH CLAIM. THIS PROVISION IS INTENDED TO RESTRICT EACH PARTY (IF AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO RECOVERY AGAINST INSURANCE CARRIERS TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH COVERAGE AND TO WAIVE (TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH COVERAGE), FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH PARTY, RIGHTS OR CLAIMS WHICH MIGHT GIVE RISE TO A RIGHT OF SUBROGATION IN ANY INSURANCE CARRIER. NEITHER THE ISSUANCE OF ANY INSURANCE POLICY REQUIRED UNDER, OR THE MINIMUM LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT IN ANY WAY CITY PARTIES’ OR OWNER’S LIABILITY ARISING UNDER OR OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF. OWNER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY CITY PARTIES AS A RESULT OF OWNER’S FAILURE TO OBTAIN, KEEP AND MAINTAIN OR CAUSE TO BE OBTAINED, KEPT AND MAINTAINED, THE TYPES OR AMOUNTS OF INSURANCE REQUIRED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(d) Not, at any time, to take any action (or omit to take action) which action (or omission) would cause any insurance policies required to be obtained, kept and maintained under this Agreement to become void, voidable, unenforceable, suspended or impaired in whole or in part or which would otherwise cause any sum paid out under any such insurance policy to become repayable in whole or in part; and

(e) Promptly deliver Notice to the other Party of any facts or circumstances of which it is aware which, if not disclosed to its insurers or re-insurers, is likely to affect adversely the nature or extent of the coverage to be provided under any insurance policy required hereunder.

19.7 Indemnity by Owner.

19.7.1 Agreement to Indemnify. SUBJECT TO SECTION 19.4.3 AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED HEREFROM PURSUANT TO SECTION 19.7.2 OWNER HEREBY AGREES AND COVENANTS TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS CITY PARTIES AND CITY PARTY INDEMNITEES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OR ALLEGED TO ARISE OUT OF OR ANY WAY INCIDENTAL TO (a) ANY USE, OCCUPANCY, CONDUCT, MANAGEMENT OR OPERATION OF THE COMPLEX SITE BY OR ON BEHALF OF OWNER OR ANY AFFILIATE, CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR, INVITEE OR GUEST OF OWNER DURING THE TERM, OR DURING ANY PERIOD OF TIME, IF ANY, BEFORE OR AFTER THE TERM THAT OWNER MAY HAVE HAD POSSESSION OF THE COMPLEX SITE, (b) ANY BREACH OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT BY OWNER OR BREACH OR DEFAULT OF OWNER IN PERFORMING ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, (c) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL EVENT, OR THE NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL TORT, WILLFUL ACT, OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF OWNER OR OWNER’S RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “OWNER LIABILITIES”). OR (d) ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON, OR DAMAGE TO ANY PROPERTY OCCURRING ON THE PROPERTY AND FROM AND AGAINST ALL REASONABLE EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CLAIM OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT THEREON (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE REASONABLE FEES OF ATTORNEYS, INVESTIGATORS AND EXPERTS) ALL REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS ASSERTED DURING OR AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE TERM OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY INCLUDES OWNER’S AGREEMENT TO PAY ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES OF DEFENSE, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, INCURRED BY CITY PARTIES AND ANY CITY PARTY INDEMNITEE. THIS INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY WITHOUT LIMITATION TO ANY LIABILITIES IMPOSED ON ANY PARTY INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER AS A RESULT OF ANY STATUTE, RULE, REGULATION OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY. THIS INDEMNIFICATION SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO DAMAGES, COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS PAYABLE UNDER INSURANCE POLICIES, WORKERS’ COMPENSATION ACTS, DISABILITY BENEFIT ACTS OR OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ACTS. ALTHOUGH OWNER HAS CAUSED CITY PARTIES TO BE NAMED AS LOSS PAYEE OR ADDITIONAL INSURED UNDER OWNER’S INSURANCE POLICIES (EXCEPT WORKERS’ COMPENSATION), OWNER’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS INDEMNIFICATION PROVISION SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO THE LIABILITY LIMITS SET FORTH IN SUCH POLICIES.

OWNER AGREES THAT CITY PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR FOR ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OF OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER BY REASON OF ANY WORK, LABOR OR MATERIALS PERFORMED OR DELIVERED TO, OR CONNECTED TO THE USE, OCCUPANCY, OR ENJOYMENT OF THE PREMISES BY OWNER OR ANY PERSON ON THE PREMISES OR HOLDING ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PREMISES UNDER OWNER. OWNER DOES HEREBY INDEMNIFY AND SAVE HARMLESS CITY PARTIES FROM ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, DEMANDS, COSTS AND REASONABLE EXPENSES AND LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH REAL OR CLAIMED DAMAGE OR LIABILITY SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES AND FROM ALL LIENS, CLAIMS AND DEMANDS OCCURRING IN OR AT THE PREMISES, OR ARISING OUT OF THE CONSTRUCTION, USE, OCCUPANCY OR ENJOYMENT OF THE COMPLEX SITE AND ITS FACILITIES, OR ANY REPAIRS OR ALTERATIONS WHICH OWNER MAY MAKE UPON THE COMPLEX SITE, OR OCCASIONED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF OWNER OR ANY OF OWNER’S RELATED PARTIES.

OWNER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CITY PARTIES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SECURITY FOR PERSONS OR PROPERTY IN OR ABOUT THE COMPLEX SITE. OWNER XXXXXX XXXXXX AND RELEASES ANY CLAIM AGAINST CITY PARTIES FOR INJURY OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON AND ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN OR ABOUT THE COMPLEX SITE, SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO VANDALISM, THEFT, BURGLARY, ROBBERY, RAPE, MURDER OR ASSAULT.

OWNER XXXXXX AGREES TO INDEMNIFY CITY PARTIES AND HOLD CITY PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, REASONABLE EXPENSE AND COST INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, PAID, INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY CITY PARTIES AS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT RESULT OF THE PRESENCE ON OR UNDER, OR THE ESCAPE, SEEPAGE, LEAKAGE, SPILLAGE, EMISSION, DISCHARGE, MIGRATION OR RELEASE FROM THE COMPLEX SITE OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE ARISING OUT OF OWNER’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE COMPLEX SITE.

19.7.2 Owner’s Exclusions. TO THE EXTENT ANY OF THE CLAIMS FOR WHICH OWNER IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY CITY PARTIES AND CITY PARTY INDEMNITEES PURSUANT TO SECTION 19.7.1 ARE CAUSED BY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, SUCH CLAIMS SHALL NOT BE COVERED BY SUCH INDEMNITY:

(a) ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON OR ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO REAL OR TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT, CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF CITY PARTIES OR ANY CITY PARTY INDEMNITEE; OR

(b) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL EVENT OR ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PRESENT AT, IN, ON OR UNDER THE COMPLEX SITE CAUSED BY OR ARISING FROM THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF CITY PARTIES OR A CITY PARTY INDEMNITEE FROM AND AFTER THE EXECUTION DATE.

19.8 Conduct of Claims. City Parties shall, reasonably promptly after the receipt of written Notice of any Action or Proceeding or claim against City Parties or City Party Indemnitees in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to Section 19.7, notify Owner in writing of such Action or Proceeding or claim. If any such Action or Proceeding or claim shall be made or brought against City Parties or City Party Indemnitees, Owner may, or if so requested by City Parties shall, assume the defense thereof with counsel of its selection reasonably acceptable to City Parties and which shall be reasonably competent and experienced to defend City Parties and/or City Party Indemnitees. In such circumstances, the City Parties and City Party Indemnitees shall (i) at no cost or expense to City Parties and/or City Party Indemnitees, cooperate with Owner and provide Owner with such information and assistance as Owner shall reasonably request in connection with such Action or Proceeding or claim, and (ii) at its own expense, have the right to participate and be represented by counsel of its own choice in any such action or with respect to any such claim. If Owner assumes the defense of the relevant claim or action, Owner shall not conclude any settlement that requires any action or forbearance from action or payment or admission by City Parties or any City Party Indemnitee without the prior Approval of such Party, as applicable. The obligations of Owner under Section 19.7 shall not extend to any loss, damage and expense of whatever kind and nature (including all related costs and expenses) to the extent the same results from the acts of City Parties or a City Party Indemnitee (unless required by Applicable Law or applicable legal process) after the assertion of any claim which gave rise to the obligation to indemnify which prejudices the successful defense of the Action or Proceeding or claim without, in any such case, the prior written Approval of Owner (such Approval not to be required in a case where Owner has not assumed the defense of the Action or Proceeding or claim). If Owner has assumed the defense of the relevant Action or Proceeding or claim, City Parties agree to afford Owner and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences between City Parties and any Persons, including Governmental Authorities, or conferences between City Parties and representatives of or counsel for such Person, asserting any claim or action against City Parties or City Party Indemnitees covered by the indemnity contained in Section 19.7 to the extent such conference relates to the subject matter of the claim or action covered by the indemnity contained in Section 19.7.

19.9 Failure to Defend. It is understood and agreed by Owner that if City Parties or any City Party Indemnitee is made a defendant in any Action or Proceeding or Claim for which it is indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, and Owner fails or refuses to assume the defense thereof, after having received Notice by City Parties or any City Party Indemnitee of its obligation hereunder to do so, City Parties or such City Party Indemnitee may compromise or settle or defend any such Action or Proceeding or Claim, and Owner shall be bound and obligated to reimburse City Parties and/or such City Party Indemnitee for the amount reasonably expended by City Parties and/or City Party Indemnitee in settling and compromising any such Action or Proceeding or Claim, or for the amount reasonably expended by City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee in paying any judgment rendered therein, together with all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee for defense or settlement of such Action or Proceeding or Claim. Any judgment rendered against City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee or amount reasonably expended by City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee in compromising or settling such Action or Proceeding or Claim shall be conclusive as determining the amount for which Owner is liable to reimburse City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee hereunder. To the extent that City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee has the right to, and in fact does, assume the defense of such Action or Proceeding or Claim, City Parties and/or each City Party Indemnitee shall have the right, at its expense, to employ independent legal counsel in connection with any Action or Proceeding or Claim, and Owner shall cooperate with such counsel in all reasonable respects at no cost to City Parties or any City Party Indemnitee.

19.10 No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of Sections 19.7, 19.8 and 19.9 are solely for the benefit of the City Parties, City Party Indemnitees, Owner, and Owner’s Related Parties and are not intended to create or grant any rights, contractual or otherwise, to any other person.

19.11 Surety Bonds for Additional Work. Prior to the commencement of any Additional Work that shall cost in excess of the Additional Work Surety Bond Threshold, whether or not such work is Material Additional Work, and at all times during the performance of such Additional Work and for so long after the completion thereof that any of Owner’s other contractors and subcontractors (other than the Additional Work Construction Contractor) have not been paid in full in respect to the Additional Work, Owner shall cause the Additional Work Construction Contractor to obtain, keep and maintain performance and payment bonds from a Qualified Surety in a total amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the costs of the Additional Work.

19.12 No Waiver. Approval, disapproval or failure to act by City Parties regarding any insurance applied by Owner shall not relieve Owner of full responsibility or liability for damages or accidents as set forth in this Agreement. Neither shall the bankruptcy, insolvency or denial of liability by the insurance company exonerate Owner from any such liability.

19.13 Increase in Risk. Owner shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing as a result of which either (a) any policy of insurance of any kind covering any or all of the Land or any liability of City Parties in connection therewith becomes void or suspended and such insurance policy is not replaced, or (b) the insurance risk under any such policy would (in the opinion of the insurer thereunder) be made materially greater and action is not taken to address the risk.

ARTICLE XX.

CONDEMNATION

20.1 Condemnation of Substantially All of the Complex Site.

20.1.1 Termination Rights. If, at any time during the Term, title to the whole or Substantially All of the Complex Site is taken in any Condemnation Action (or conveyed in lieu of any such Condemnation Action), other than for a temporary use or occupancy that is for one (1) year or less in the aggregate, then Owner may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by Notice to City Parties, and in such event this Agreement shall terminate and expire on the date of such taking (or conveyance) and all other payments, including Impositions, shall be paid to the date of such taking (or conveyance)). With respect to any sums payable to City Parties hereunder or pursuant hereto that are to be paid to City Parties in the event of such termination but which are not then capable of ascertainment, reasonable estimates of such items shall be made and such estimates shall be included in the aforesaid payment, and City Parties and Owner shall make adjustments to correct any error in such estimates as and when the same become determined.

20.1.2 Condemnation Awards. All Condemnation Awards payable as a result of or in connection with any taking of the whole or Substantially All of the Complex Site shall be paid and distributed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 20.1.2. Notwithstanding the division of the Condemnation Award by a court or condemning authority in a Condemnation Action, all Condemnation Awards shall be payable first, to pay outstanding Permitted Project Financing and any other Debt (as required by the applicable loan documents) of and other investments by Owner and its Affiliates to pay for construction of the Improvements, second, to satisfy any remaining obligations of Owner to City Parties under this Agreement, and thereafter to Owner.

20.2 Condemnation of Part. In the event of a Condemnation Action affecting less than the whole or less than Substantially All of the Complex Site, the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way, and the following provisions shall apply:

20.2.1 Condemnation Awards. All Condemnation Awards payable as a result of or in connection with any taking of less than the whole or less than Substantially All of the Complex Site shall be paid and distributed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 20.2. Notwithstanding the division of the Condemnation Award by a court or condemning authority in a Condemnation Action, Owner shall be entitled to the entire proceeds of the Condemnation Award (subject to the rights of any Mortgagees). The Condemnation Award payable to Owner pursuant to this Section 202 shall be paid to Owner and applied by Owner in the following order of priority: (i) payment of all Condemnation Expenses and (ii) paying any remainder to Owner (subject to the rights of any Mortgagees). For purposes of this Article XX, “Substantially All of the Complex Site” shall be deemed to have been taken if, by reason of the taking of title to or possession of the Complex Site or any portion thereof by Condemnation Actions, an Inoperable Condition exists or is reasonably expected to exist for longer than one (1) year.

20.2.2 Restoration of the Complex Site. Following a condemnation of less than the whole or Substantially All of the Complex Site during the Term, Owner shall, subject to the requirements of Section 15.2 and Article XX, with reasonable diligence (subject to Excusable Owner Delay and/or City Party Delay), commence and thereafter proceed to repair, alter and restore the remaining part of the Complex Site described in clause (a) of the definition thereof to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same may be feasible and in accordance with the Final Base Complex Plan that has been Approved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as and if required, to the extent practical and permitted by Applicable Law. Such repairs, alterations or restoration, including temporary repairs for the protection of Persons or Property pending the completion of any part thereof are sometimes referred to in this Article XX as the “Condemnation Repair Work.”

20.3 Temporary Taking. If the whole or any part of the Complex Site shall be taken in Condemnation Actions for a temporary use or occupancy of one (1) year or less, the Term shall not be reduced, extended or affected in any way. Except to the extent that Owner is prevented from doing so pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning authority or because it is not practical as a result of such taking, Owner shall continue to perform and observe all of the other covenants, agreements, terms and provisions of this Agreement as though such temporary taking had not occurred. In the event of any such temporary taking, Owner shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any Condemnation Award made for such taking (subject to the rights of any Mortgagees), whether such award is paid by way of damages or otherwise, less any Condemnation Expenses paid by City Parties, if any.

20.4 Condemnation Proceedings. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, (i) Owner and City Parties each shall have the right, at their own expense, to appear in any Condemnation Action and to participate in any and all hearings, trials and appeals therein.

20.5 Notice of Condemnation. If City Parties or Owner shall receive Notice of any proposed or pending Condemnation Action affecting the Complex Site, the Party receiving such Notice shall promptly notify the other Party hereto.

20.6 Survival. The provisions contained in this Article XX shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, but only insofar as such provisions relate to any Condemnation Action or Condemnation Awards that arose prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XXI.

ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER

21.1 Assignment. Owner hereby acknowledges that City Parties have entered into this Agreement because of Owner’s financial strength, goodwill, ability and expertise and that, accordingly, this Agreement is one which is personal to Owner, and Owner agrees for itself and its successors and assigns in interest hereunder that it shall not, during the Term of this Agreement, relinquish control of the Complex Site, the Project Improvements or the Property generally, subject only to the rights granted to the Operator under the terms of the Operating Agreement. As used in this Section 21.1, the term “control” shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Complex Site. Any assignment, sale, transfer, conveyance, mortgage, pledge encumbrance or other transfer in contravention of the foregoing agreement (each a “Transfer”) without the prior written Approval of City, shall not be permitted hereunder and shall constitute an Event of Default. In no event shall the City Parties have any control or discretion over the financing or ownership structure utilized by Owner, provided Owner maintains operational control of the Complex as provided herein above; provided, however, upon City’s reasonable, written request, Owner shall provide City with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City that Owner maintains operational control of the Complex.

21.2 Costs. In connection with any request for City’s Approval under this Article XXI, and as a condition to City’s obligation to deliver its Approval, Owner shall pay to City all reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by City in reviewing Owner’s request for Approval, whether or not City grants such Approval.

21.3 No Waiver of Rights by City Parties. The Approval of City of any proposed Transfer shall not be a waiver of any right to object to further or future proposed Transfers, and the Approval of City of each such successive proposed Transfer must be first obtained in writing from City. No such Transfer shall alter or impair the obligations hereunder of Owner or any other person constituting Owner or holding any interest hereunder before any such Transfer.

21.4 Conditions to Effectiveness of Any Transfer. Any proposed Transfer to which City’s Approval is required by this Article XXI shall be void and shall confer no right upon the proposed transferee with respect to this Agreement unless and until (a) such Approval of City is obtained, (b) the transferee of Owner shall have assumed in writing each and every one of the terms, covenants and provisions of Owner contained in this Agreement with respect to the period from and after the Transfer, by an instrument delivered to City, and (c) any then-existing default by Owner under this Agreement is fully cured (it being expressly acknowledged that City may condition its Approval of any Transfer on the cure of any and all such defaults existing at the time of such proposed Transfer). Any such Transfer in which City has given its Approval shall not constitute a release of any liability, existing or future, under this Agreement unless such Approval specifically includes an express written release by City, which release City has no obligation to provide. Subject to the provisions of this Article XXI, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in interest hereunder.

21.5 Use Agreements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict Owner from leasing portions of the Project Improvements under Use Agreements, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and without City’s Approval, provided that each such Use Agreement (a) shall be subject and subordinate to this Agreement and any Mortgage and to the rights of City hereunder and the rights of any Mortgagee thereunder, and shall expressly so state, and (b) shall be operated at the Operating Standard. Owner shall at all times remain liable for the performance of all of the covenants and agreements under this Agreement on Owner’s part to be so performed.

21.6 Transfers by City Parties. Except with respect to a City Party Transfer to the other City Parties or a City Controlled Entity that is capable of performing and complying with all obligations of City Parties hereunder, the City Parties shall not effect a City Party Transfer of their interest in this Agreement at any time or from time to time to any Person (a “City Party Transferee”). without the prior Approval of Owner, such Approval not to be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 21.6, a “City Party Transfer” shall mean any assignment or other transfer by a City Party of this Agreement or any part thereof or interest therein by a City Party. City Parties shall promptly give Notice to Owner advising Owner of the name of any City Party Transferee. Any security given by Owner to secure performance of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement shall be transferred by City Parties to the successor in interest of City Parties, and City Parties shall thereby be discharged of any further obligation relating thereto.

21.7 No Release.

21.7.1 Owner. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Owner shall remain fully responsible and liable for compliance with all of Owner’s other obligations under this Agreement for periods prior to such Transfer.

21.7.2 City Party. No City Party Transfer shall relieve such City Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement for periods prior to such City Party Transfer, except that City Party shall be relieved from any obligations under this Agreement relating to periods on and after the date of the City Party Transfer in question if, and only if (a) Owner Approves such City Party Transfer or (b) Owner’s Approval to such City Party Transfer is not required pursuant to the terms of Section 21.6.

21.8 General Provisions. Owner shall, in connection with any assignment, conveyance, or lease, upon the written request of City, provide Notice to City of the name, legal composition and address of any assignee or grantee. In addition, upon the written request of City, Owner shall provide City with a description of the nature of the assignee’s or grantee’s business to be carried on in the Complex Site. In no event, however, shall Owner be required to provide City with a copy of any assignment agreement, deed, or lease.

(d) In the event of an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(d), Owner shall not be entitled to receive any City Party contribution or incentive set forth in Section 9.8 other than the reimbursement of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 9.8.4(c), until Owner has obtained a CO, and Owner shall pay liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 per day in the form of a reduction to, at the City Parties’ option, one or more of the contributions and/or incentives provided in Section 9.8, which damages shall accrue until Owner has obtained a CO;

(e) In the event of any Owner Default set forth in Section 23.1.1(e), Owner shall pay liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 per day in the form of a reduction to, at the City Parties’ option, one or more of the contributions and/or incentives provided in Section 9.8, which damages shall accrue from the date a City Party has provided Owner with a Notice of Owner Default until Owner has cured such Owner Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any Owner Default under Section 23.1.1(e) not be cured within 180 days, Owner shall thereafter not be entitled to receive any City Party contribution or incentive set forth in Section 9.8. If, upon a City Party’s Notice to Owner of an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(e), the Owner has a reasonable, good-faith basis to assert, and does assert, such Owner Default has not occurred, the Parties shall resolve such disagreement pursuant to Section 11.5.1; and

No expiration or termination of this Agreement, or summary dispossession proceedings, abandonment, bankruptcy, re-entry by a City Party or vacancy, shall relieve Owner of any of its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement that arose during the Term of this Agreement, and Owner shall remain liable to City Parties for all damages resulting from any Event of Default, including but not limited to any damage resulting from the breach by Owner of any of its obligations under this Agreement to pay any sums which Owner is obligated to pay hereunder. If an Event of Default exists, Owner shall, immediately on its receipt of a written demand therefor from a City Party, reimburse such City Party for (a) all reasonable expenses (including but not limited to any and all reasonable costs, management expenses, operating expenses, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by a City Party (i) in curing or seeking to cure any Event of Default and/or (ii) in exercising or seeking to exercise any of a City Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and/or at law or in equity on account of any Event of Default, plus (b) interest on all such expenses, at the lesser of the prime rate (as reported by the Wall Street Journal’s bank survey) plus 3% or the highest rate then permitted on account thereof by applicable law, all of which expenses shall be payable by Owner immediately on demand therefor by a City Party.

23.2.2 Owner’s Remedies. Subject to this Article XXIII, upon the occurrence of any City Party Default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, Owner may, at its sole discretion, have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any Notice or demand whatsoever, other than any Notice expressly provided in this Agreement:

(a) Owner may terminate this Agreement for a City Party Default under Section 25.2; and

(b) Owner may exercise any and all other remedies available to Owner at law or in equity;

provided that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, Owner’s rights under this Section 23.2 shall be subject to the waiver and release contained in Section 17.3.

23.2.3 Right to Terminate. Without limitation of the other termination rights expressly provided to the applicable parties hereunder, there shall be no right to terminate upon the occurrence of either an Owner Default set forth in Sections 23.1.1(b)-(e), or a City Party Default except as set forth in Section 23.2.2(a).

23.2.4 Cumulative Remedies. Subject to the provisions of this Article XXIII, each right or remedy of City Parties and Owner provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative of and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy of City Parties or Owner provided for in this Agreement, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise by City Parties or Owner of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Agreement shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by City Parties or Owner of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Agreement or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.

23.3 Right to Injunction. In addition to the remedies set forth in this Article XXIII, the Parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief prohibiting (rather than mandating) action by the other Party in connection with an Event of Default and to seek declaratory relief with respect to any matter under this Agreement for which such remedy is available hereunder, at law or in equity.

23.4 No Waivers.

23.4.1 General. No failure or delay of any Party, in any one or more instances (i) in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or (ii) in insisting upon the strict performance by the other Party of such other Party’s covenants, obligations or agreements under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver, discharge or invalidation thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy or insistence on strict performance, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy or to enforce strict performance, preclude any other or future exercise thereof or insistence thereupon or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The covenants, obligations, and agreements of a defaulting Party and the rights and remedies of the other Party upon a default shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission.

23.4.2 No Accord and Satisfaction. Without limiting the generality of Section 23.1.1 above, no acceptance by a City Party or Owner of a lesser sum than then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of the amounts due under this Agreement, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check, or any letter accompanying any check, wire transfer or other payment, be deemed an accord and satisfaction. City Parties and Owner may accept a check, wire transfer or other payment without prejudice to its right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Agreement.

23.4.3 No Waiver of Termination Notice. Without limiting the effect of Section 23.1.1 above, the receipt by a City Party of any sums paid by Owner after the termination in any manner of the Term, or after the giving by a City Party of any Notice hereunder to effect such termination, shall not, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, reinstate, continue or extend the Term, or destroy, or in any manner impair the efficacy of, any such Notice of termination as may have been given hereunder by a City Party to Owner prior to the receipt of any such sums paid or other consideration, unless so agreed to in writing and executed by a City Party.

23.5 Effect of Termination. If City Parties or Owner elect to terminate this Agreement, as provided herein (whether such termination occurs pursuant to this Article XXIII or any other provision hereof), this Agreement shall, on the effective date of such termination, terminate with respect to all future rights and obligations of performance hereunder by the Parties (except for the rights and obligations herein that expressly are to survive termination hereof). Termination of this Agreement shall not alter the then existing Claims, if any, of either Party for breaches of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination and the obligations of the Parties hereto with respect thereto shall survive termination.

ARTICLE XXV.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

25.1 No Broker’s Fees or Commissions. Each Party hereto hereby represents to the other Party hereto that such Party has not created any liability for any broker’s fee, broker’s or agent’s commission, finder’s fee or other fee or commission in connection with this Agreement.

25.2 Non-Appropriation. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Parties agree that (a) the provisions of this Section 25.2 shall prevail over any other provisions of this Agreement and (b) the obligation of City Parties to pay any money under any provision of this Agreement is contingent upon an Appropriation by City Parties in the amount of such payment or other monetary obligation. Neither City Parties nor their elected officials, attorneys or other individuals acting on behalf of City Parties, make any representation or warranty as to whether any appropriation shall, from time to time during the Term of this Agreement, be approved by the Controlling Body of such City Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of City Parties to make an Appropriation shall not cause City Parties to be in default under the terms of this Agreement, there being no obligation imposed by law requiring the same; provided, however, in the event of a Non-Appropriation by City Parties related to an undisputed monetary obligation of City Parties under this Agreement, Owner, as its sole and exclusive remedy as a result thereof, may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article

25.3 Employment of Consultants. City Parties shall have the right, at their sole cost and expense unless otherwise expressly provided herein, to employ such consultants as such City Party may deem necessary to assist in the review of any and all plans, specifications, reports, agreements, applications, bonds, statements and other documents and information to be supplied to City Parties by Owner under this Agreement and, subject to Article XVI, to perform any inspection rights on behalf of City Parties. Owner covenants and agrees to reasonably cooperate with such consultants in the same manner as Owner is required to cooperate with City Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

25.4 Reserved.

25.5 Open Records. If any Person requests a City Party to disclose any information of a confidential, proprietary or trade secret nature with respect to the private contract rights under the Texas Public Information Act (Tex. Gov’t Code Xxx. Sec. 552.001 et seq.) or any equivalent or successor statute (the “Open Records Act”) and such information is subject to, or potentially subject to, an exception under the Open Records Act, then prior to making any such disclosure and to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, such City Party shall send Notice to Owner of such request within five (5) Business Days of City Party’s receipt of such request. Within five (5) Business Days of Owner’s receipt of such Notice from City Party, Owner shall notify such City Party in writing whether Owner desires City Party to request a determination from the Texas Attorney General (an “Opinion Request”) as to whether the requested information must be disclosed pursuant to the Open Records Act; provided that City Party shall only be required to comply with the foregoing to the extent that City Party, in good faith, believes there is a reasonable basis for claiming that the requested information is subject to an exception under the Open Records Act and the Open Records Act permits City Party to make an Opinion Request in the circumstance in question. Upon receipt of a request from Owner for City Party to make an Opinion Request and provided such City Party is required to act on same pursuant to the terms hereof, City Party, at Owner’s sole cost and expense, shall provide all commercially reasonable assistance to Owner necessary to draft the Opinion Request so that it may be completed and filed within the time period prescribed by the Open Records Act. After the Opinion Request is so filed, each Party shall cooperate with each other Party in preparing appropriate responses or filings to the Texas Attorney General and to any other Person with respect to the information request and the Opinion Request, including any commercially reasonable appeals involved with respect thereto, to prevent the disclosure of such information. Each Party shall also cooperate with each other Party and use reasonable efforts to promptly identify any possible third Person whose privacy or property interests may be compromised by any such information request in order to enable City Party to timely furnish to any such third Person any statutory Notice required by the Open Records Act and to seek any applicable exceptions from disclosure under the Open Records Act.

25.6 Maintenance of Rights of Way, Easements and Licenses. Owner, at Owner’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain, preserve and renew all rights of way, easements, grants, privileges, licenses and franchises reasonably necessary for the use of the Project Improvements from time to time. Owner shall not, without the prior Approval of City, initiate, join in or consent to any variance, private restrictive covenant or other public or private restriction as to the use of the Project Improvements or any portion thereof, or any declaration, plat or other document having the effect of subjecting the Project Improvements to the condominium or cooperative form of ownership. Owner shall, however, comply with all restrictive covenants which may at any time affect the Project Improvements, ordinances and other public or private restrictions relating to the use of the Project Improvements.

25.7 Compliance with Anti-Forfeiture Laws. Owner shall not commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture against the Project Improvements or any part thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the entry of a final, non-appealable judgment against Owner providing for the forfeiture of all or substantially all of the Complex Site or the Project Improvements, shall, at the election of a City Party (which election must be made within forty-five (45) days following entry of such judgment), constitute an immediate Owner Default.

25.8 Assignment of License Agreements: Name of Project Improvements; Trademarks. Owner hereby grants, conveys and assigns to City Parties a non-exclusive right to the trademarks and other intellectual property concerning the Complex for use in the City Parties’ promotional materials. As between the Parties, all goodwill arising from any such use shall inure to the benefit of Owner.

City Parties hereby grant to Owner the right to (a) name the Complex Site, the Project Improvements, any portions thereof and any operations therefrom and (b) give designations and associations to any portion of the Complex Site, the Project Improvements or the operations therefrom (collectively, “Naming Rights”); provided, however, that the exercise by Owner of the Naming Rights shall be subject to the prior written approval of City, which approval shall be deemed given unless the proposed exercise (u) would reasonably be considered lewd, offensive or immoral, including any sign or advertisement that promotes activities that would reasonably be considered lewd, offensive or immoral; (v) violates any Applicable Law, (w) promotes establishments whose primary business is illegal gambling, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit agreements with gambling enterprises otherwise permitted by Applicable Law, (x) uses the name of a Governmental Authority that is a county located in Texas or a city (regardless of whether located in Texas) (other than the City) located within a 50-mile radius of the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney, Texas, in each case, with a population in excess of 200,000, or (y) would reasonably cause embarrassment or disparagement to a City Party (including names containing drugs or drug paraphernalia, whether legal or illegal, barbarisms, racial epithets, obscenities, profanity, guns or firearms, names relating to any sexually-oriented business or enterprise or containing any overt political reference), and City Parties shall never require payment of any naming rights fee or other payments received by Owner for such Naming Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the official name of the Complex shall include “McKinney “ Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Owner hereby grants to City Parties the non-exclusive right to use (but not sublicense) the trade name, mark(s) and image(s) of the Complex solely for the purpose of marketing and promoting the Complex or a City Party, and for no other purpose; provided, that no such use shall imply that Owner or any of its Affiliates is the source of or has endorsed or sponsors any marketing or promotional activity of the City Parties.

In recognition of this financial burden and in further consideration of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement, Owner shall have the right to retain all revenues generated by or from the sale of naming rights, advertising and signage in all places on or about the Complex Site; provided however, Owner shall use all or part of such revenues for the payment of costs associated with construction of the Improvements and cost and expenses associated with operating, maintaining and repairing the Complex Site.

PROMISSORY NOTE
Collin County, Texas

$25,000,000

, 2024

For value received, NOTES LIVE, INC., a Colorado corporation, as principal (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of MCKINNEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a Type A, non-profit development corporation creating and existing under the laws of the State of Texas (“Lender”), at 7300 SH 121 SB Suite 200, XxXxxxxx, Texas 75070, or at such other address as Lender shall from time to time specify in writing, the maximum sum of TWENTY-FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($25,000,000.00), or such lesser amount of loans and advances (collectively, the “Loan”) as may be made pursuant to this Promissory Note (the “Note”), in legal and lawful money of the United States of America, with interest on the outstanding principal from the date advanced until paid at the rate set out below. Interest shall be computed on a per annum basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed, unless such calculation would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by applicable law, in which case interest shall be computed on a per annum basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days in a leap year, as the case may be. The aggregate amount of principal to be advanced hereunder shall not exceed the amount first stated above. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings set forth in the “Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement by and among City of XxXxxxxx, Texas, McKinney Economic Development Corporation, XxXxxxxx Community Development Corporation, as City Parties, and Notes Live, Inc., as Owner,” dated as of April 16, 2024 (the “Development Agreement”), and this Note is subject to all of the terms, benefits and provisions of, and is the Note referred to in, such Development Agreement.

1. Payment Terms.

(a) The outstanding principal amount, remaining unpaid, of this Note shall be due and payable to Lender on or before that date which is thirty (30) days following the earlier of (x) Borrower’s receipt of a TCO (as such term is defined in the Development Agreement), or (y) the occurrence of an Owner Default (as such term is defined in the Development Agreement) or Borrower default (collectively, the “Maturity Date”).

(b) On the Maturity Date, the outstanding unpaid principal balance hereof, and all accrued interest then remaining unpaid, if any, shall then be due and payable. Interest hereunder shall be calculated on the unpaid principal each day principal is outstanding and all payments made credited as follows: (i) first, to any collection or other costs to which Xxxxxx is entitled hereunder or under the Development Agreement, (ii) second, to the discharge of the unpaid interest accrued, and (iii) third, to the reduction of the outstanding unpaid principal.

Exhibit B
Page 1

2. Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding and unpaid principal balance hereof shall be computed at a per annum rate equal to zero percent (0.00%) per annum (the “Note Rate”).

3. Default Rate. For so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Note or under the Development Agreement, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and at all times after the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and in addition to all other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, interest shall accrue on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof (and on such other amounts as are due and owing and expressly stated, in the Development Agreement, to bear interest at the Default Rate, as hereinafter defined) at the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law (as hereinafter defined) (the “Default Rate”). but in no event in excess of the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, and such accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Xxxxxx’s actual damages resulting from any Event of Default, and such accrued interest is a reasonable estimate of those damages and does not constitute a penalty.

4. Payments. All payments and prepayments of principal or interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, at the address of Lender indicated above, or such other place as the holder of this Note shall designate in writing to Borrower. If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and any such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. The books and records of Xxxxxx shall be prima facie evidence of all outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note. “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the State of Texas are authorized to be closed or are in fact are closed.

5. Prepayment. Borrower reserves the right to prepay, prior to the Maturity Date, all or any part of the principal of this Note without penalty. Any prepayments shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. Borrower will provide written notice to the holder of this Note of any such prepayment of all or any part of the principal at the time thereof. All payments and prepayments of principal or interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, at the address of Lender indicated above, or such other place as the holder of this Note shall designate in writing to Borrower.

6. Default. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under this Note or the Development Agreement, the holder of this Note may, without further notice or demand, (a) declare the outstanding principal balance of and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note at once due and payable, (b) refuse to advance any additional amounts under this Note, (c) foreclose all liens securing payment hereof, (d) pursue any and all other rights, remedies and recourses available to the holder hereof, including but not limited to any such rights, remedies or recourses under the Development Agreement, at law or in equity, or (e) exercise any combination of the foregoing; and in the event default is made in the prompt payment of this Note when due or declared due, and the same is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is brought on same, or the same is collected through probate, bankruptcy or other judicial proceedings, then the Borrower agrees and promises to pay all costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, determination of the legal maximum amount of interest shall at all times be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Loan and indebtedness, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Borrower hereof in connection with the Loan and indebtedness evidenced hereby, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term hereof. For purposes of this Note, “Applicable Law” shall mean the law in effect from time to time and applicable to the transactions between Lender and Borrower pursuant to this Note which lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such transactions, including laws of the State of Texas, and to the extent controlling and providing for a higher lawful rate of interest, laws of the United States of America.

Lender may release or modify the obligations of any of the foregoing persons or entities, or guarantors hereof, in connection with this Note without affecting the obligations of the others. Subject to any applicable notice and cure provisions contained in the Development Agreement with respect to any Default or Event of Default, all such persons or entities expressly waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices and demands for which waiver is not prohibited by law, and diligence in the collection hereof; and agree to all renewals, extensions, indulgences, partial payments, releases or exchanges of collateral, or taking of additional collateral, with or without notice, before or after maturity. No delay or omission of Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall be a waiver of such right or any other right under this Note or the other Loan Documents.
