7. USE FEE:
7.1 The Use Fee that is hereby agreed to by Licensee, to be paid by Licensee to the Trust is Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for each Event that occurs on the Property under the terms of this
Agreement, subject to an increase of four percent (4%) annually commencing upon the production
of the second (2nd) Event, such increase applying yearly to each Event thereafter through the
termination of this Agreement.
7.2 The Use Fee includes the Ticket Surcharge as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. The Use Fee
is an unconditional and absolute payment due the Trust regardless of any ticket shortfalls,
reductions in ticket sales, ticket price or sale fluctuations, or the number of tickets sold by the
Licensee for the Event. The Use Fee is due as a net payment to the Trust without any deductions
made for service charges, utilities, taxes, allowable offsets, Additional Charges as described herein,
and any similar credits. The Ticket Surcharge as described herein and outlined in Section 53-1 of
the Code of the City of Miami, as amended, shall be applicable to all Event tickets sold. In the
event the Ticket Surcharge due to the Trust in accordance with Code Section 53-1 exceeds the Use
Fee, the Trust shall be entitled to the greater of the Ticket Surcharge or the Use Fee.
Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, under no circumstances will the Trust ever receive
less than the Use Fee. For example, if the Ticket Surcharge in effect at any time would result in
Ticket Surcharge collections of $2,700,000 for an Event, and the Use Fee payable to the Trust
under Section 7.1 for that Event is $2,000,000, then Licensee would pay the Trust $2,700,000 in
full satisfaction of Licensee's obligations under both Sections 7.1 and 10.1.

expenditures associated with the production of the Event, and Licensee shall compensate the Trust
by payment of the Use Fee as defined in this Agreement. The Use Fee shall include fees for use of
the Premises on load -in and load -out days and Event Days, the Ticket Surcharge and fees for use
of the Property.
7.4 The Use Fee shall cover all fees associated with the use of the Property by Licensee. The Use Fee
is for the temporary use of the Property, as specified in this Agreement, and does not include any
services provided by the City, and specifically excludes Additional Charges, Atypical Expenses,
or Extraordinary Expenses, as defined herein. The estimated cost of any Additional Charges shall
be determined by the Trust based upon service levels provided in connection with the prior
productions of the Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park, and reasonably agreed upon in good faith
by Licensee following the presentation of a written estimate and appropriate supporting
documentation by the Trust to the Licensee respecting the applicable Additional Charges. Any and
all costs and expenses that are unusual and/or non -customary (when taking into account the costs
and expenses paid by Licensee in connection with the prior productions of the Ultra Music Festival
at Bayfront Park) including, but not limited to: (i) unusual or atypical equipment purchases and/or
rentals; (ii) unusual or atypical police services; (iii) unusual or atypical Fire -Rescue services; and
(iv) unusual or atypical solid waste services, (the "Atypical Expenses") shall only be due and
payable to the extent reasonably required and/or caused by Ultra. Ultra shall further be responsible
for all reasonable costs incurred in extraordinary circumstances whereby the life safety/security of
any individual or multiple individuals are involved (the "Extraordinary Expenses"). For the
avoidance of doubt, any unusual or atypical costs incurred by the Trust for capital equipment
purchases or costs, labor costs, orientation costs and/or training costs (each as compared to the
service and equipment levels provided in connection with the prior productions of the Ultra Music
Festival at Bayfront Park) shall require reasonable pre -approval in writing by Licensee, unless, as
provided above, such augmented service or equipment levels are reasonably required due to an
unanticipated life safety/security event. To the extent that any capital equipment is purchased by
the Trust in order to provide services to the Event, then Licensee shall only be obligated to pay the
Trust the pro rata portion of such capital expense (calculated based on the portion of the useful life
of such capital equipment that the Trust is reasonably likely to use during events sponsored by the
Licensee). Any charges related to Atypical Expenses or Extraordinary Expenses shall be finalized
and reasonably agreed -upon in good faith by the Parties and paid by Licensee in the manner
contemplated by Section 8.2 below.
7.5 Under no circumstances will the Trust or City be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by
Licensee under this Agreement or as a result of its operations or related activities beyond those that
are expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement. Licensee shall be responsible for all costs
involved in the production of the Event, including without limitation: all BMI and ASCAP
copyright and license fees, any intellectual property fees, all staffing and all charges for police, fire
rescue, inspectors, building and/or assembly permits, security, insurance, all utilities, supplies,
equipment rental, ticket surcharge, all applicable taxes, including State of Florida Sales and Use
Tax, any other governmental levies and impositions imposed by law, and other services. Licensee
may engage any vendor(s) it elects to contract with, and Licensee is not required to use City -
approved vendors, except as otherwise specifically provided by law or in this Agreement. The
immediately preceding sentence does not apply to service furnished by City employees.
7.6 The Trust reserves the right to interrupt, curtail, or suspend the provision of any utility service,
including but not limited to, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and equipment
serving the Property, to which Licensee may be entitled hereunder, when necessary by reason of
accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations or improvements in the judgment of the Director
desirable or necessary to be made or due to difficulty in obtaining supplies or labor, or for any other
cause beyond the reasonable control of the Trust. The work of such repairs, alterations or
improvements shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence, and to the extent that substantial
repairs, alterations, improvements and/or construction is contemplated or scheduled to occur during
the Use Period, Licensee shall be promptly notified by the Trust of such scheduled repairs,
alterations, improvements and/or construction. The Trust and City shall in no respect be liable for
any failure of the utility companies or governmental authorities to supply utility service to Licensee

claim any damages by reason of the City's or Trust's or other individual's interruption, curtailment
or suspension of a utility service, nor shall this Agreement or any of Licensee's obligations
hereunder be affected or reduced thereby.
8. TERMS OF PAYMENT:
8.1 Licensee shall submit to the Trust, by wire transfer, cashier's check, or money order, and in any
event no later than 5:00 p.m., two (2) days prior to the commencement of the Use Period, fifty
percent (50%) of the Use Fee as well as any estimated Additional Charges, and Licensee shall have
fully and timely replenished the Damage & Security Deposit. Licensee shall submit to the Trust,
by wire transfer, cashier's check, or money order, and in any event no later than 5:00 p.m., two (2)
days prior to the commencement of the Event, the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Use Fee.
8.2 All amounts due to the Trust in excess of the Use Fee or in excess of the estimated Additional
Charges, including all pass -through costs, shall be remitted to the Trust the later of (i) thirty (30)
days following the conclusion of the Event or (ii) ten (10) days after Licensee's receipt of such
invoice(s).
8.3 If any installment of the Use Fee or any other undisputed sum due from Licensee shall not be
received by the Trust on the date such undisputed sum is due, Licensee shall pay to the Trust an
interest rate equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum of such overdue amount. If the undisputed
sum due is not received by the Trust within fifteen (15) days after the date on which such
undisputed sum is due, the Five percent (5%) interest rate will be replaced with late fee of five
percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The Parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a
fair and reasonable estimate of the costs the Trust will incur by reason of late payment by Licensee.
Acceptance of such late charge by the Trust shall not constitute a waiver of the Licensee's default
with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the Trust from exercising any of its other rights
and remedies granted hereunder or at law or in equity. The terms of this Section shall not apply to
any charges which are the subject of a good faith dispute which are controverted in writing, setting
forth with reasonable specificity all pertinent details by the party seeking to avoid payment, within
ten (10) days of the due date.
9. DAMAGE & SECURITY DEPOSIT; DATE DESIGNATIONS:
9.1 The Damage & Security Deposit shall be in the amount of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand dollars
($250,000.00) payable to the Trust, and shall be subject to the applicable terms of this Agreement.
The Damage & Security Deposit is intended to secure performance of all of Licensee's obligations
hereunder, including but not limited to the repair and restoration of the Property after the Event. In
addition, the Damage & Security Deposit is intended to secure Licensee's request for future dates
through the end of the term of this Agreement. The Damage & Security Deposit shall be due
immediately prior to the Use Period in the manner specified by Section 8.1 above.
9.2 A joint inspection of the Premises by the parties will be made within Two (2) business days after
the completion of each Event and/or upon the expiration of the Use Period, wherein the short-term
and long-term repairs to the Property will be identified. The Damage & Security Deposit will be
held by the Trust until such time as all the repairs are completed or it is depleted by Licensee's
failure to complete the restoration within the allotted time. The Damage & Security Deposit shall
also be applied toward payment of any fees, liens, costs or other assessments against the Property
or the City and/or Trust for activities and operations of Licensee directly resulting from or related
to the Event. In the event the amount necessary to repair the damages or satisfy Licensee's
obligations hereunder exceeds the Damage & Security Deposit, then Licensee agrees to pay the
balance to the Trust within Ten (10) business days of the Trust's written request.
9.3 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of the Trust,
expressed or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or
materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials, for any specific
work on the Property nor as giving the Licensee the right, power or authority to contract for or
permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the
filing of any liens against the City's or Trust's interest in the Property. If any liens shall at any time
be filed against the Property, the Licensee shall initiate steps to cause it to be discharged of record
within thirty (30) days after the date that it has notice of its filing. Licensee's failure to comply
with this Section shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Licensee for cause.
9.4 Licensee further agrees to inform the Trust by July I of every subsequent Event year, of the
requested dates on which the Event shall be scheduled, or otherwise shall inform the Trust of its
intentions not to produce the Event during the Use Period for the subsequent dates for the
immediately following year. If Licensee does not affirm its intention of not holding the Event, the
Damage & Security Deposit will be held to secure performance of all Licensee's obligations.
Licensee's failure to inform the Trust of Licensee's intention to not hold the Event by the above -
stated deadlines, shall be deemed an affirmation by Licensee of its intention to continue to use the
Property so long as the License is in effect. Cancellation of the Event after Licensee's affirmation
to the Trust of its intention to use the Property shall result in forfeiture of the Damage & Security
Deposit.
9.5 Similarly, in the event the Damage & Security Deposit falls below $250,000.00 after Licensee
completes all necessary repairs to the Property, Licensee shall timely and fully replenish up to the
full amount of $250,000.00 in the manner set forth in Section 8.1 above.
9.6 If Licensee fails to remove any personal property, equipment and fixtures from the Property within
Twenty -Four (24) days following the close of the Use Period and notification by the Trust to
Licensee and following Licensee's failure to remove such personal property, equipment and
fixtures from the Property, then said property shall be deemed abandoned and thereupon shall
become the sole personal property of the Trust. The Trust, at its sole discretion and without liability
shall remove the same and Licensee shall reimburse the Trust for all costs associated with such
removal and disposal within Ten (10) business days following such removal. Licensee will be liable
for any costs, including removal and/or storage, incurred by the Trust for Licensee's failure to
timely remove personal property, equipment and fixtures from the Property.
9.7 Licensee shall not be entitled to receive any interest on the Damage & Security Deposit. As this
Agreement is a license, the Parties stipulate that Chapter 83, Florida Statutes, does not apply to the
Damage & Security Deposit, and this is not a lease agreement.
10. TICKETS:
10.1 Ticket Surcharge:
For purposes of this Agreement, the Trust acknowledges and agrees that all applicable ticket
surcharges as stated in Section 53-1, of the Code of the City of Miami, as may be amended, that

under such Code Section 53-1 exceeds the Use Fee. Licensee shall pay to Trust all Ticket Surcharge
fees to the extent that they exceed the Use Fee, as provided in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 herein. Licensee
agrees to pay all applicable taxes, merchant, and service charges related to tickets.
10.2 Complimentary Tickets:
Subject to those terms set forth in Section 7, Licensee shall have the right to distribute

will be no exceptions. The Director's designee will report compliance or lack of

below. Fees shall be assessed as follows: 1,000 to 9,999 tickets - $10,000.00 non-

10.4 Ticket Scanning:
In the event that Licensee employs a ticket scanning method (including barcode, RFID and other
scanning technologies), Trust ticket scanning personnel will not tear tickets in half and a drop count
will not be used. Additionally, Licensee shall provide sufficient back-up scanners in the event of
any scanner malfunction. In the event of a complete scanner failure, the Trust may use alternative
methods to maintain accurate counts of patrons attending the Event. Licensee will provide the Trust
with a laptop loaded with a ticketing program that will track the scanned tickets making it possible
to know how many patrons are in the facility at any time. In the event that the show's tickets are
sold out, the Trust and Licensee agree that ticket counting staff will not be required.
10.5 Capacity:
The current capacity for the Event is 55,000 persons. Licensee shall have the right to increase the
capacity for the Event subject to the Trust's reasonable discretion. The Trust agrees to use its best
efforts to cooperate with Licensee in the event that Licensee elects to increase the number of tickets
that may be issued for, and the total attendance at, the Event.
11. ADVERTISING:
All advertising for Event must state (1) Miami, FL; Bayfront Park; (ii) Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne
Boulevard, Miami, FL 33132, or some other derivative specifically acknowledging the City of Miami and
Bayfront Park. Licensee shall not permit any signs or advertising matter to be placed upon the exterior of
the Property without having first obtained the written approval of the Director or their designee, which
approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Licensee shall, at its sole cost and
expense, install, provide, maintain such sign, decoration, advertising matter or other things as may be
permitted hereunder in good condition and repair at all times. Licensee must further obtain approval from
all governmental authorities having jurisdiction and must comply with all applicable requirements set forth
in the Sign Regulations in the City of Miami Code and Zoning Ordinance and the Miami -Dade County
Sign Code, as applicable. Upon the end of each Use Period, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense,
remove any sign, decoration, advertising matter or other item permitted hereunder from the Property.
Licensee hereby understands and agrees that the Trust may, at its sole discretion, erect or place upon the
Property an appropriate sign indicating Trust's having entered into this Agreement.
12. FOOD & ARTS & MERCHANDISE LOCATIONS:

the Director's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, a
preliminary site plan setting forth the location of Licensee's installations and equipment on the Property,
including, without restriction, the location of the Licensee's tents, ticket box office, concession and food

extra fencing or security if it deems it necessary. The Licensee shall maintain access for City of Miami
emergency vehicles on the Property at all times.

be reasonably amended from time to time by the City's Director of Risk Management or designee using
commercially reasonable standards, and as set forth on Exhibits 13-1 and B-2 (13-1 is for the Licensee; B-2
is for the caterer), which is attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement. The City and the Trust shall
be named "Additional Insured" on all policies. Any questions regarding insurance should be directed to the
City's Director of Risk Management. Licensee shall furnish all required insurance certificates no later than

representatives, and successors, and the Bayfront Park Management Trust, their respective officers,
officials, employees, personnel, volunteers, agents, assigns, representatives, and successors and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Indemnitees") from and against all
claims, actions, or liabilities to the extent arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with (i) the Event
(including claims, actions, or liabilities of any nature from any third parties, including but not limited to
claims, actions, or liabilities relating to the usage, permit, or contractual rights to any or all of the Premises
for other events or special events taking place on the Property, Premises, or/on/in/at the Amphitheater, and

harmless the Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 16), and for the use of the Premises and/or performance
of any renovation to the Premises from any third party, (ii) nuisance claims or liabilities or charter violations
or any other claim, action, or liability of any nature asserted by the Downtown Neighbors Alliance and Case
No. 2020-000905-CA-01, but excluding any claims or actions relating to and/or arising from the City's
failure to comply with public records requests made pursuant to Chapter 119, Fla. Stat (and while Licensee
controverts any Liability with respect to such matters it will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 16), (iii) the performance or non-performance of this Agreement,
whether it is, or is alleged to be, directly or indirectly caused, in whole or in part, by any act, omission,
default or negligence (whether active or passive) of the Indemnitees, or any of them (except for the
intentional, criminal or wrongful acts, or gross negligence or willful misconduct committed by such
Indemnitees), (iv) the use of any products sold, advertised, provided, or otherwise distributed by Licensee
to users, invitees, guests, employees, agents, the general public, or any other individual or (v) the failure of
Licensee to comply with any of the provisions contained herein, or to conform to statutes, ordinances, or
other rules, conditions of approval, permits or regulations or requirements of any governmental authority,
local, federal or state, in connection with the performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation
all actions and omissions by the Licensee taken as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, or (vi)
any reasonable and customary fees that may be charged by Live Nation, or any current operator of the
Amphitheater, for use of the Amphitheater in order to permit the Trust to perform its obligations under this
Agreement.. This Indemnification shall cover liabilities in tort, liabilities in contract, liabilities alleging
statutory or regulatory violations including, but not limited to claims resulting from noise, light, nuisance,

of residents, tenants, or commercial entities in the surrounding neighborhoods, or otherwise who reside
within one (1) mile of the Property. Licensee expressly agrees that this indemnification shall include all
employees/personnel of the Trust and City, on and off -duty police officers, fire, and other

Event. In addition, Licensee expressly agrees to indemnify, covenant not to sue, and hold harmless the
Indemnitees, or any of them, from and against all Liabilities which may be asserted by an employee or
former employee of Licensee, or any of its contractors, subcontractors, agents, representatives,
concessionaires, vendors, invitees, guests, or consultants as provided above, for which Licensee's liability
to such employee or former employee would otherwise be limited to payments under state Workers'
Compensation or similar laws. This Indemnification provision shall survive the expiration, termination, or
cancellation of this Agreement and shall continue in effect until the expiration of the corresponding statute
of limitations or the tolling thereof. The word Liabilities used in this Section includes claims and actions
relative to the Liabilities. Granting of this Agreement is freely acknowledged by the Licensee as good and
sufficient independent consideration for this Indemnification. To the extent that Licensee undertakes any
indemnification obligations under this Section 16, and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
Licensee shall have its choice of counsel for a defense and control resolution of the claim(s) provided the
Indemnitees are not required to admit any liability or to make any payments. The Trust hereby consents to
the common representation of the Indemnitees and Licensee by any competent and adequate legal counsel
reasonably selected by Licensee in defense of the indemnified claims and agree to sign any other written
consent reasonably required by legal counsel in accordance with the rules of professional conduct or any
other rules of ethics governing common representation by legal counsel. If, however, the interest of the
respective parties diverges such that the parties may not be represented by one counsel, then Licensee shall
retain separate counsel on behalf of the Indemnitees. The Trust and Licensee hereby waive any claim of
conflict of interest (and shall confirm such waiver to the law firms selected by Licensee to undertake their
common defense) arising from the defense of the indemnified claim in the manner set forth above.

from Licensee's negligent acts or omissions. To the extent allowed by Florida Statute 768.28, Licensee

intentional or willful misconduct or gross negligence of the City.

FORCE MAJEURE:
The Parties shall not be liable to the other nor be deemed to have defaulted hereunder, and shall excuse the
other from their respective obligations under this Agreement for any failure or delay in performing their
respective obligations where such failure or delay to perform is caused by a Force Majeure event, which is
defined herein as any event whereby the Property and/or Premises, or any respective portion thereof, shall
be destroyed, damaged, and/or otherwise not accessible for the uses contemplated under this Agreement,
and such destruction, damage, and/or inaccessibility of all or part of the respective Premises and/or Property

security, national emergency, acts of God, war, act or threats of terrorism, domestic government
regulations, strikes (other than strikes of Licensee's employees), fire or other natural calamity, disorder,
civil disobedience, curtailment of transportation facilities or service, or any other occurrence which makes
it illegal or impossible for either of the Parties to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.
28. ASSIGNMENT:
The Trust has relied on the extensive and unique reputation and experience of Licensee in granting this
License. Licensee shall not sell, grant, confer, or assign this License or any part thereof to any other party,
person, or entity. The License granted by this License is personal to the Licensee. Any attempted
assignment of this License contrary to the foregoing provision, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be
void and shall confer no right upon such assignee, shall constitute a default under this License, and shall
result in an automatic revocation of the License and the forfeiture of the rights of Licensee hereunder
following notification to Licensee.
29. SEVERABILITY:
It is the express intent of the Parties that this Agreement constitutes a license and not a lease. To further
this intent, the Parties agree as follows: (i) if any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to
any circumstance, suggest that a lease, rather than a license, has been created, then such provision shall be
interpreted in the light most favorable to the creation of a license and (ii) if any provision of this Agreement,
or the application thereof to any circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
created a lease rather than a license, then such provision shall be stricken and, to the fullest extent possible,
the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall continue to operate and
remain in full force and effect.
With regard to those provisions which do not affect the Parties intent for this Agreement to serve as a
license, should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence, word or phrase contained in this Agreement be
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable under the
laws of the State of Florida or the City of Miami, such provision, section, paragraph, sentence, word or
phrase shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to accomplish the intent of this
Agreement to the maximum extent allowable without violating any applicable laws; or if not modifiable,
then same shall be deemed severable, and in either event, the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect or limitation of its use.
30. WAIVER:
Failure by either party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or any rights with respect hereto,
or to exercise any election provided for herein, shall in no way be considered a waiver of such provisions,

such failure to enforce prejudice either party from later enforcing or exercising the same or any other
provisions, rights or elections under this Agreement.
31. MERGER:
This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement regarding the Event respecting the substance of this
Agreement and supersedes all prior negotiations, understanding and agreements between or among the
parties.

writing by the Parties with the same formality as this License. Neither this License, nor any term hereof,
can be changed, modified, or abandoned, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing, and no
prior or subsequent oral agreement shall have any validity whatsoever. Notwithstanding any language to
the contrary, the Director is authorized to administratively execute non -substantive or operational
amendments, not involving material terms, to this License without the necessity of further action by the
City Commission.

The Trust shall not be liable for any loss, cost or damage to the Licensee by reason of the exercise by the
Trust of the right of entry described herein for the purposes listed above. The making of periodic inspections
or the failure to do so shall not operate to impose upon the Trust any liability of any kind whatsoever nor
relieve the Licensee of any responsibility, obligations or liability assumed under this Agreement.

The City of Miami has established the Office of the Independent Auditor General ("IAG"), to provide the
City Commission with independent oversight of audit and analytical functions of the City. The IAG shall
