Licensee, upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced above. Acceptance of
such Returned Check Fee by the City shall not, constitute a waiver of Licensee's violations with
respect to such overdue amount nor prevent the City from the pursuit of any remedy to which the
City may otherwise be entitled.
15. Late Payments.
9
Licensee hereby acknowledges that late payment by the Licensee to the City of the use
fee, percentage fee and other sums due hereunder will cause the City to incur costs not
contemplated by this Agreement, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to
ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of the use fee, percentage fee or any other sum due
from Licensee shall not be received by the City within fifteen (15) days after the date on which
such sum is due, Licensee shall pay to the City a late charge equal to 5% of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs the City will incur by reason of late payment by Licensee. Acceptance of
such late charge by the City shall not constitute a waiver of the Licensee's violation with
respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the City from exercising any of its other rights and
remedies granted hereunder or at law or in equity.
Any amount not paid to the City within fifteen (15) days after the date on which such
amount is due shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum from its due date. Payment of
such interest shall not excuse or cure any violation by Licensee under this Agreement,
16. Security Deposit.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Licensee shall have deposited
with City the sum of One Thousand Two Hundred Dollars and 00/100 ($1,200.00) (the
"Security") as guarantee for the full and faithful performance by Licensee of all obligations of
Licensee under this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement. If Licensee is in violation
beyond any applicable notice or cure period, the City may use, apply or retain all or any part of
the Security for the payment of (i) any fee or other sum of money which Licensee was obligated
to pay but did not pay, (ii) any sum expended by City on Licensee's behalf in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) any sum which City may expend or be required to
expend as a result of Licensee's violation. Should the City use, apply or retain all or any part of
the Security, Licensee shall reimburse the amount used, applied or retained within thirty (30)
days of the City's application of the Security. The use, application or retention of the Security or
any portion thereof by the City shall not prevent the City from exercising any other right or
remedy provided for under this Agreement or at law and shall not limit any recovery to which
10
the City may be entitled otherwise.
Provided Licensee is not in violation of this Agreement, the Security or balance thereof,
as the case may be, shall be returned to Licensee upon the termination of this Agreement or upon
any later date after which Licensee has vacated the Property in the same condition or better as
existed on the Effective Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Upon the return of the Security
(or balance thereof) to the Licensee, the City shall be completely relieved of liability with respect
to the Security. Licensee shall not be entitled to receive any interest on the Security.

any kind, owned by or placed in, upon or about the Property by Licensee, including, but not
limited to, ad valorem taxes, fire fees and parking surcharges. In the event Licensee appeals an
Assessment, Licensee shall immediately notify the City of its intention to appeal said
Assessment and shall furnish and keep in effect a surety bond of a responsible and substantial
surety that is reasonably acceptable to the City or other security reasonably satisfactory to the
City in an amount sufficient to pay one hundred percent of the contested Assessment with all
interest on it and costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to be incurred in
connection with it. Licensee agrees to pay such Assessments either in lump sum or on an
installment plan.
Failure of the Licensee to pay any Assessment or any installment payment thereof shall
constitute a violation under this Agreement.
18. Condition of the Property and Maintenance.
Licensee accepts the Property "as is", in its present condition and state of repair condition
and without any representation by or on behalf of the City, and agrees that the City shall, under
no circumstances, be liable for any latent, patent or other defects in the Property. Licensee shall
be responsible for daily maintenance of the pool.
11
19. Alterations,Additions or Replacements.
Except in the event of an emergency, Licensee shall not make any repair without first
receiving the written approval of the City Manager or his/her designee, which approval may be
conditioned or withheld for any or no reason whatsoever, including a condition to pay additional
fees if such alteration will affect the cost of services being provided by the City. If the City
approves such request, no repair or alteration shall be commenced until plans and specifications
therefore shall have been submitted to and approved by the City Manager or his/her designee.
In the event of an emergency, Licensee shall reasonably proceed to perform such repair
work and shall immediately notify the City of such work.

constituting the consent or request of the City, 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 the City 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 mechanics' liens against the
City''s interest in the Property if any mechanics lien shall at any time be filed against the
Property, the Licensee shall cause it to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after the
date that it has notice of its filing. Licensee shall not be required to pay or discharge any
mechanics' lien within the thirty (30) day period, so long as Licensee shall in good faith
proceed to contest the lien by appropriate proceedings. It shall furnish reasonably satisfactory
evidence that funds are or will be available to pay the amount of the contested lien claim with
all interest on it and costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees to be incurred in
connection with it. If Licensee does not 1) cause a mechanics' lien to be discharged of record
12
within thirty (30) days after the date Licensee has notice of the filing of a lien or 2) Licensee
does not in good faith proceed to contest the lien by appropriate proceedings within the thirty
