facility is operated by the CITY or any department, agency or authority related to, associated

require the Subtenant to construct its own parking. In such event, the Subtenant Museum shall
construct its parking on the land depicted in Exhibit G to the extent such land is needed for the
construction of the 142 parking spaces, and Subtenant shall have the right and license to use
