Docusign Envelope ID: 8505293C-E4DB-4473-9F6B-1513821229FA
Services for specific Events. Any such plans shall be subject to approval by the City Manager (or
their designee) and by Host Committee, and may be updated in a writing approved by the City
Manager (or their designee) and by Host Committee, in each case, as circumstances require.
The aggregate value of all City Services provided under this Agreement, together with the value of
any waivers, reductions, or discounts of City fees or charges associated with Events, shall not
exceed the In Kind Services Cap. For purposes of determining compliance with the In Kind
Services Cap, City shall calculate the value of City Services using City's then current fully loaded
costs (salaries plus benefits), standard charge schedules, or other reasonable valuation methods
selected by City in its sole discretion. City shall also assign reasonable values to any waivers,
reductions, or discounts of City fees or charges. City's calculations and valuations shall be
conclusive for purposes of this Agreement absent a showing of material error.
City does not guarantee that any particular category or quantity of City Services will be provided

that can be provided for any Event, taking into account public health, safety, and welfare, other
municipal obligations, and emergency or unforeseen circumstances. If City determines that it is
necessary to modify, reduce, or discontinue City Services for any Event, such determination shall
not constitute a breach of this Agreement, provided that City continues to honor the express
monetary and in kind limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
City shall maintain internal records reasonably sufficient to track the value of City Services
provided under this Agreement. Upon reasonable written request, City shall provide Host
Committee with summary information regarding the categories and approximate value of City
Services that have been provided to date. Host Committee shall cooperate with City by providing
event schedules, locations, projected attendance, and other information reasonably necessary to
enable City to plan for and account for City Services.
4.3. Non -Appropriation and Limitation of City Obligations
All obligations of City under this Agreement that involve the expenditure of funds or the
commitment of resources, including the obligation to disburse the Cash Contribution and to provide
City Services, are contingent upon the lawful appropriation and availability of funds and resources
for that purpose at the time performance is due. If sufficient funds or resources are not appropriated,
or if appropriated funds are reduced or become unavailable for any lawful reason, City may, upon
written notice to Host Committee, reduce the level of financial support or in -kind support provided
under this Agreement, or may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part, without penalty or
further liability, except for payment of amounts that were properly incurred and are payable from
lawfully appropriated funds prior to the effective date of such reduction or termination.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a pledge of City's ad valorem taxing power or as
a debt or liability of City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation.
4.4. No Exclusivity
This Agreement does not grant Host Committee any exclusive right to receive financial or in kind
support from City for activities related to the FIFA World Cup 2026 or any other event or program.
City retains the right, in its sole discretion, to provide or support other events, programs, or
activities during the Term, including events or programs that may be similar to or compete with

this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to obligate City to replace any City
Services with additional cash payments or to provide any support beyond the Cash Contribution
and the In Kind Services Cap described in this Agreement.

5. Use of Cash Contribution and City Services
5.1. Permitted Uses
The Cash Contribution and the benefit of City Services shall be used solely for, or in connection
with, Permitted Uses. Permitted Uses are limited to reasonable and necessary costs that are
reasonably related to the planning, promotion, production, operation, and delivery of Events within
the City and that advance the public purposes described in this Agreement. Permitted Uses may
include, without limitation, event production and operations, security and crowd management
(excluding those functions provided by City Services), public safety support, venue and site costs,
staging and technical production, marketing and communications, community programming, fan
engagement activities, and reasonable administrative and staffing costs of Host Committee that
are directly allocable to Events within the City.
Permitted Uses shall include, and Host Committee agrees to plan, coordinate, execute and co -host
with City, a watch party for the Bronze Match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 (the "Bronze Match
Watch Party"). It is the Parties' collective intent that the Bronze Match Watch Party will be held
at Little Haiti Soccer Park, located within District 5 of the City of Miami, and will serve as an
official community watch party for the Bronze Match. Host Committee will work collaboratively
in good faith with City to determine and fulfill all reasonably necessary programming, logistical,
operational, security, and promotional needs to ensure the successful execution of the Bronze
Match Watch Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, City authorizes
Host Committee, and grants Host Committee the right, to identify and promote the Bronze Match
Watch Party as the Official City of Miami Bronze Match Watch Party, and, subject to Host
Committee's rights and obligations to FIFA, Host Committee will carry out its responsibilities
consistent with the terms of this Agreement and any mutually approved event plan.
5.2. Prohibited Uses
The Cash Contribution and the benefit of City Services shall not be used for any purpose that is
inconsistent with applicable law, City policy, or this Agreement. Prohibited uses include, without
limitation, any expenditure that constitutes or is perceived as a direct or indirect political
contribution, campaign activity, or lobbying directed to City officials or employees; any payment
of fines, penalties, or costs arising from violations of law; any severance, bonus, or other
extraordinary compensation to officers, directors, or employees of Host Committee not directly
tied to Events; any expenditure that confers a private benefit that is more than incidental relative
to the public purpose served; and any other use that City has identified in writing as a prohibited
use. If Host Committee is uncertain whether a proposed expenditure is a Permitted Use, Host
Committee shall seek written clarification from City prior to incurring such expenditure.
5.3. Budgets and Plans
Host Committee shall prepare and maintain reasonable budgets for the use of the Cash
Contribution and for the anticipated use of City Services and shall make such budgets available to
City within ten (10) business days after City's written request. Host Committee shall make good
faith efforts to adhere to such budgets and to any event plans, operations plans, or similar
documents that have been reviewed or approved by City. Material deviations from approved
budgets or plans that affect the use of the Cash Contribution or the level or nature of City Services
shall be disclosed to City within five (5) business days after Host Committee has notice of such
material deviation, and City may require adjustments or impose additional conditions as a result
of such material deviations.
5.4. Misuse of Funds or City Services
4
MIAMI 13310948.5 102754/306705
Docusign Envelope ID: 8505293C-E4DB-4473-9F6B-1513821229FA
If City reasonably determines that any portion of the Cash Contribution has been used for a
Prohibited Use or otherwise in material violation of this Agreement, Host Committee shall, upon
written demand from City, promptly repay to City the amount of such misused funds, together
with any interest income actually realized by Host Committee thereon within ten (10) business
days of the City's written demand. City may offset any such amount against any unpaid portion of
the Cash Contribution. If City reasonably determines that City Services have been materially
misused, or that Host Committee has requested or facilitated City Services in a manner materially
inconsistent with this Agreement or applicable law, City may, in addition to any other remedies,
immediately suspend or reduce City Services and may treat the value of misused City Services as
an amount due from Host Committee to City, payable upon invoice.
5.5. Unused Funds and City Services
Any portion of the Cash Contribution that remains unexpended by Host Committee as of the
expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be promptly identified, but in no event later than
thirty (30) days following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, to City in writing. City
may direct Host Committee either to return such unexpended Cash Contribution to City or to apply
them to additional Permitted Uses within the Term, subject to City's written approval. Should the
City direct the return of such unexpended Cash Contribution, Host Committee shall remit the
unexpended Cash Contribution to the City within ten (10) business days of such direction. Host
Committee shall not obligate or expend any portion of the Cash Contribution after the expiration
or termination of this Agreement without the prior written consent of City. Nothing in this Section
shall be construed to require City to provide any additional cash or in kind support beyond the
limitations set forth in this Agreement.
5.6. No Substitutions
Host Committee acknowledges that City's financial support consists of both the Cash Contribution
and the provision of City Services up to the In Kind Services Cap. Host Committee shall not
request, and City shall not be obligated to provide, any substitution of one form of support for the
other. In particular, City shall not be required to increase the Cash Contribution as a result of any
decision by City to provide a lesser quantity of City Services than originally anticipated, and City
shall not be required to increase the level of City Services as a result of Host Committee's decision
to allocate the Cash Contribution in a manner that reduces available funds for operational costs.
6. Planning, Coordination, and Operational Responsibilities
6.1. Host Committee Responsibilities
Host Committee shall be primarily responsible for the planning, organization, and delivery of
Events and related activities within the City. Host Committee shall secure, or cause to be secured,
all non City resources reasonably necessary for Events, as determined by the Host Committee,
including but not limited to venues (other than City owned venues separately contracted for),
production vendors, non City security, staffing, and any third party sponsorships or partnerships.
Host Committee shall ensure that Events are conducted in a safe, lawful, and orderly manner.
6.2. City as Supporting Entity
The Parties acknowledge and agree that City's role under this Agreement is limited to providing
the Cash Contribution and City Services as expressly described in this Agreement. City shall not
be deemed the organizer, producer, or operator of any Event and shall not be responsible for the
acts or omissions of Host Committee, FIFA, or any other third party. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to create any joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship between City
5
MIAMI 13310948.5 102754/306705
Docusign Envelope ID: 8505293C-E4DB-4473-9F6B-1513821229FA
and Host Committee or FIFA, or to make City liable for any obligations incurred by Host
Committee in connection with any Event, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
6.3. Points of Contact
Each Party shall designate in writing one or more primary points of contact for coordination of
planning, permitting, and operational issues. Host Committee shall provide City, in a timely
manner, with proposed event schedules, locations, expected attendance, site plans, and other
operational details reasonably necessary to enable City to plan for City Services and to evaluate
public safety and operational impacts. The Parties shall meet as reasonably requested by either
Party to coordinate upcoming Events, address operational needs, and review the anticipated use of
City Services.
6.4. Permits and Approvals
Host Committee shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining all permits,
licenses, and approvals required by City or any other governmental authority for Events, including
but not limited to special event permits, temporary use permits, building and fire permits, and
health or food service permits, except to the extent that specific permits, licenses and approvals
are expressly identified in writing as being obtained by City or are otherwise included in the City
Services provided by City pursuant to this Agreement. Host Committee shall comply, and shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its contractors and vendors to comply, with all
conditions and requirements of such permits, licenses, and approvals.
6.5. Coordination with City Departments
Host Committee shall cooperate fully with City departments involved in the planning and delivery
of City Services, including, but not limited to, police, fire rescue, code compliance, parks, public
works and resiliency, solid waste, and any other affected departments. Host Committee shall
adhere to reasonable operational requirements and directives issued by such departments in
connection with public safety, crowd management, traffic control, noise, sanitation, and protection
of public property. Host Committee shall promptly notify City of any material changes to Event
details that would affect City Services, including changes in dates, times, locations, or projected
attendance.
6.6. Third -Parties
Host Committee shall be solely responsible for its relationships and agreements with FIFA, Miami
Dade County, venues, sponsors, vendors, and other third parties involved in Events. City shall not
be bound by, or responsible for performance under, any such agreements unless City is an express
signatory. Host Committee shall ensure that its agreements with third parties are consistent with
this Agreement and do not conflict with City's rights or obligations hereunder. If any third party
requirement conflicts with this Agreement, Host Committee shall promptly notify City, and the
Parties shall confer in good faith to address the conflict; however, City shall not be obligated to
waive or modify any provision of this Agreement.
7. Reporting, Accounting, and Auditing; Inspector General
7.1. Financial Management and Records
Host Committee shall establish and maintain financial management systems and internal controls
that are adequate to ensure that the Cash Contribution and the benefit of City Services are used
solely for Permitted Uses and are properly accounted for. Host Committee shall maintain complete
and accurate books, records, and supporting documentation, in accordance with generally accepted
6
MIAMI 13310948.5 102754/306705
Docusign Envelope ID: 8505293C-E4DB-4473-9F6B-1513821229FA
accounting principles consistently applied, for all receipts and expenditures of the Cash
Contribution and for all costs and activities related to Events that involve City Services.
7.2. Periodic Reporting
Upon City's request, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the expiration or termination
of this Agreement, Host Committee shall provide City with written reports describing, in
reasonable detail, the use of the Cash Contribution and the Events and activities supported by City
Services. Such reports shall include, at a minimum, a summary of Events held within the City,
dates and locations, estimated attendance, a summary of expenditures of the Cash Contribution by
major category, and narrative information on community and economic impacts to the extent
reasonably available. City may require that one or more reports be certified by an officer of Host
Committee as being true, correct, and complete in all material respects.
7.3. Audit and Inspection Rights
Host Committee agrees to provide access to City, the Office of the Independent Inspector General,
and any of their duly authorized representatives, to any books, documents, papers, electronic
records, and other materials of Host Committee that are directly related to this Agreement, the Cash
Contribution, or Events supported by City Services, for the purpose of audit, examination,
inspection, and copying. City may, at reasonable times and for a period of seven (7) years following
the later of the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the date of final expenditure of the
Cash Contribution, audit and inspect, or cause to be audited and inspected, such books, documents,
papers, and records. Host Committee agrees to maintain all such records at its principal place of
business, or at another location reasonably acceptable to City, for the duration of this retention
period.
Host Committee's failure or refusal to comply with this Section shall constitute a material breach
of this Agreement and shall entitle City to exercise its termination and other remedies under this
Agreement, in addition to any remedies available at law or in equity. The audit and inspection
provisions of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, including those pertaining to audits and the
Office of the Independent Inspector General, as the same may be amended from time to time, are
applicable to this Agreement.
7.4. Cooperation with Inspector General
Host Committee acknowledges that City has established the Office of the Independent Inspector
General and that the activities of the Inspector General are supported by City funds. Host
Committee agrees to fully cooperate with the Inspector General in the conduct of any investigation,
audit, or review relating to this Agreement or to the use of City funds or City Services. Such
cooperation shall include making officers, employees, agents, and contractors available for
interviews; providing access to relevant records and facilities; and responding truthfully and
completely to reasonable inquiries.
7.5. Corrective Action
If any audit, investigation, or review by City or the Inspector General identifies questioned costs,
misused funds, or other material noncompliance with this Agreement, Host Committee shall
promptly develop and implement, subject to City's review and approval, a corrective action plan
to address such findings. City may require Host Committee to repay misused funds, to modify its
procedures, or to take other reasonable corrective actions as a condition of continuing to receive
support under this Agreement. Host Committee shall bear the costs for any audit, investigation, or
review that identifies misused funds or City Services.

8.2. Notice and Cure
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default by Host Committee, City shall provide written notice to Host Committee describing the
nature of the default. Host Committee shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to
cure a non -monetary default, and ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to cure a monetary
default, or, in either case, such longer period as City may approve in writing, acting reasonably, if
the default is not reasonably capable of cure within the original cure period and Host Committee
has commenced and is diligently pursuing cure. If Host Committee fails to cure the default within
the applicable cure period, City may exercise any of the remedies set forth in this Section in
addition to any remedies available at law or in equity.

incurring obligations that would be payable from the Cash Contribution or that would materially
increase the demand for City Services, except as necessary to facilitate Events in an orderly and
safe manner and as approved by City. Host Committee shall, within thirty (30) days of the
termination date, provide City with a final accounting of the use of the Cash Contribution and shall
return any unexpended Cash Contribution as directed by City. Termination shall not relieve Host
Committee of any obligation that expressly survives termination or that relates to acts or omissions
occurring prior to termination, including obligations relating to indemnification, audit, public
records, or repayment of misused funds.
8.5. Termination by Host Committee
Host Committee may terminate this Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to City if Host Committee determines, in good faith, that it is unable to perform its
obligations due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including substantial changes in
FIFA requirements or Event structure that render the continuation of this Agreement
impracticable. In such event, Host Committee shall cooperate with City to wind down Events in
an orderly fashion, shall return any unexpended portion of the Cash Contribution, and shall provide
a final report and accounting as required by this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the
termination date. If the Host Committee terminate prior to the FIFA Fan Festival to be held at
Bayfront Park or the Bronze Match Watch Party to be held at the Little Haiti Soccer Park,
whichever occurs first, then the Host Committee shall return the full Cash Contribution and value
of City Services utilized prior to termination. Termination by Host Committee shall not relieve
Host Committee of obligations that expressly survive termination.

00/100 Dollars per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

Employers' Liability insurance with limits of not less than Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100
Dollars per accident, Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars per disease policy limit, and Five
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars per disease per employee, or such other limits as are
reasonably acceptable to City.
(d) If Host Committee engages any professional firms to perform design, planning, consulting, or
similar professional services that are material to Events or to the use of City property, Professional
Liability (errors and omissions) insurance covering such services, with limits of not less than One
Million and 00/100 Dollars per claim and in the aggregate, maintained during the Term.
(e) If any Event includes significant construction, temporary structure erection, or other activities
that materially increase risk to persons or property, such additional coverages as City may
reasonably require in writing, which may include, without limitation, Builders' Risk, Special Event,
or Liquor Liability coverage.
9.2. Additional Insured; Primary and Noncontributory
The Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile Liability policies required under this
Agreement shall name City, its commissioners, officers, employees, and agents as additional
insureds, on forms acceptable to City, with respect to liability arising out of or related to this
Agreement or any Event. Such coverage shall be primary to, and shall not seek contribution from,
any insurance or self insurance maintained by City.
9.3. Waiver of Subrogation
To the fullest extent permitted by law, each insurance policy required under this Agreement, except
Workers' Compensation, shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its commissioners,
officers, employees, and agents. Host Committee shall ensure that its insurers have no right of
recovery or subrogation against City, its commissioners, officers, employees, or agents for any
claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or any Event.
9.4. Acceptable Insurers; Evidence of Coverage
All insurance policies required under this Agreement shall be issued by insurance companies
authorized to do business in the State of Florida and rated at least A minus, Class VII, or better by
A.M. Best Company, or otherwise acceptable to City in writing. Prior to the first disbursement of
any portion of the Cash Contribution and prior to the commencement of any Event requiring City
Services, and upon each renewal of coverage thereafter, Host Committee shall furnish to City
certificates of insurance and, upon request, complete copies of policies and endorsements
evidencing that the required coverages are in effect and that City has been added as an additional
insured where required.
Host Committee shall cause its insurers to provide City with written notice of cancellation,
nonrenewal, or material reduction in coverage or limits in accordance with policy terms, and Host
10

Docusign Envelope ID: 8505293C-E4DB-4473-9F6B-1513821229FA
Committee shall notify City in writing promptly upon receiving any such notice. If any required
insurance is cancelled, nonrenewed, or materially reduced, Host Committee shall immediately
obtain replacement coverage that complies with this Section 9 and shall provide evidence of such
replacement coverage to City without delay. Failure to maintain required insurance shall constitute
a material breach of this Agreement.
9.5. No Limitation of Liability
The insurance requirements in this Section 9 are independent of, and in addition to, any
indemnification obligations of Host Committee under this Agreement and any other obligations of
Host Committee. The existence of insurance coverage shall not be construed to limit the liability
of Host Committee or any of its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or vendors under this
Agreement.
10. Indemnification
10.1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Host Committee shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless City, its commissioners, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all
claims, demands, suits, causes of action, liabilities, damages, losses, penalties, fines, costs, and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs at trial and on appeal,
arising out of, relating to, or in connection with any of the following: the acts or omissions of Host
Committee or its officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, or volunteers;
the planning, promotion, production, operation, or conduct of any Event; the use of the Cash
Contribution or the benefit of City Services; or any material breach of this Agreement by Host
Committee that remains uncured after the expiration of the notice and cure periods applicable
thereto.
10.2. Host Committee shall not be required to indemnify City to the extent that any claim or loss
is adjudicated to have been caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of City.
10.3. Host Committee's duty to defend City shall arise immediately upon written notice by City
of a claim that is within the scope of the indemnity set forth in Section 10.1, and shall apply
regardless of whether the allegations in such claim are groundless, false, or fraudulent, so long as
such allegations relate to a matter that is potentially within the scope of the indemnified activities.
City shall have the right, at its option and expense, to participate in the defense of any claim with
counsel of its own choosing. Host Committee shall not settle any claim in a manner that imposes
any injunctive relief, admission of liability, or financial obligation on City without City's prior
written consent.
10.4. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an indemnification by City of Host
Committee or any third party, or as a waiver or limitation of any defenses available to City under
Florida law. Host Committee acknowledges that City's liability is governed by and subject to the
limitations set forth in section 768.28, Florida Statutes, and any successor provisions.
10.5. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, waive or modify any
immunity from, or limitation of, liability that is available to City, its commissioners, officers,
employees, or agents under the doctrine of sovereign immunity or under section 768.28, Florida
Statutes, or any other applicable law. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted as
consent by City to be sued by third parties in any matter arising out of this Agreement beyond the
limited waiver of sovereign immunity set forth in section 768.28, Florida Statutes.
10.6. The obligations of City under this Agreement shall not be construed as personal obligations
of the commissioners, officers, employees, or agents of City, and Host Committee shall not seek
to impose any liability upon such persons in their individual capacities.

11. Compliance with Laws
Host Committee and City shall each comply, and shall cause their respective officers, employees,
agents, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and volunteers to comply, with all applicable federal, state,
and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations in the performance of this Agreement and in
connection with all Events, including, without limitation, laws relating to public safety, crowd control,
alcohol service, noise, health and sanitation, permits, and the use of public property. Host Committee
shall promptly notify City of any material violation or alleged violation of law arising out of or related
to any Event of which Host Committee has notice.
12. Conflict of Interest
Host Committee acknowledges that City is subject to the Florida Code of Ethics for Public Officers and
Employees, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, and to applicable ethics and conflict of interest provisions
in the Code of the City of Miami, Florida. Host Committee represents and warrants that, as of the
Effective Date, there is no conflict of interest, as that term is defined under applicable law, between
Host Committee, its officers, directors, or key employees, on the one hand, and any City official or
employee, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement.
Host Committee shall not provide, offer, or promise to any City commissioner, officer, or employee
any gratuity, favor, gift, entertainment, or other thing of value that is prohibited by law or City policy,
nor shall Host Committee engage in any conduct that would violate or cause City to violate applicable
ethics or conflict of interest laws. Host Committee shall not pay or retain any person on a contingent
fee basis to solicit or secure this Agreement or any related City action.
13. Public Records
Host Committee acknowledges that City is a public agency subject to the Florida Public Records Law,
Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and Article I, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution. To the extent that
Host Committee creates, receives, maintains, or records information on behalf of City that constitutes
a public record under Florida law and that is related to this Agreement or to the use of the Cash
Contribution or City Services, Host Committee shall:
(a) Keep and maintain such public records in accordance with Florida law.
(b) Upon request from City's custodian of public records, provide such records to City within a
reasonable time at no more than the cost allowed by Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, or allow the
records to be inspected and copied at Host Committee's offices.
(c) Ensure that public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public records
disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as authorized by law.
(d) Transfer, at no cost to City, all public records in Host Committee's possession or control that
are related to this Agreement within sixty (60) calendar days the expiration or termination of this
Agreement or upon City's earlier written request, and, if stored in an electronic format, transfer the
records in a format that is compatible with City's information technology systems or in a standard
exportable format.
If Host Committee fails to comply with any provision of this Section, Host Committee shall be in
material breach of this Agreement and may be subject to termination of this Agreement and to any other
remedies provided by law.
SHOULD HOST COMMITTEE DETERMINE TO DISPUTE ANY PUBLIC ACCESS PROVISION
REQUIRED BY FLORIDA STATUTES, THEN HOST COMMITTEE SHALL DO SO AT ITS OWN
EXPENSE AND AT NO COST TO THE CITY. IF HOST COMMITTEE HAS QUESTIONS

14. Nondiscrimination; ADA
In the performance of this Agreement and in connection with all Events, Host Committee shall not
discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin,
age, disability, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any
other class or characteristic protected by applicable law. Host Committee shall comply with all
applicable federal, state, and local nondiscrimination and equal opportunity laws, including, without
limitation, Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act
and the ADA Amendments Act, and the Florida Civil Rights Act.
Host Committee shall ensure that Events and related activities that are open to the public are accessible
to and usable by individuals with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
and applicable implementing regulations. Host Committee shall promptly address and, as appropriate,
remediate any accessibility concerns that are brought to its attention by City or by members of the
public.
15. Assignment
Subject to Section 16, Host Committee shall not assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, or otherwise
convey this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily, involuntarily,
by operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of City, which City may grant,
condition, or withhold in its sole discretion. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this
Section shall be void and of no effect and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
16. Subcontracting
Host Committee may, in the ordinary course of planning and delivering Events, enter into contracts
with vendors, contractors, and other service providers; however, Host Committee shall remain fully
responsible to City for the acts and omissions of all subcontractors, vendors, contractors, and other
persons or entities engaged by Host Committee in connection with this Agreement or any Event, to the
same extent as if such acts or omissions were those of Host Committee itself. No subcontract, vendor
agreement, or similar arrangement shall create any contractual relationship between City and any such
third party, nor shall it relieve Host Committee of any obligation or liability under this Agreement. Host
Committee shall ensure that its contracts with third parties who are providing products and services at
or for the Events do not conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the
insurance, indemnification, and compliance provisions.
17. No Third -Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of City and Host Committee. Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall it be construed, to create
any rights in or to be enforceable by any person or entity other than the Parties. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, FIFA, any confederation or national federation, Miami Dade County, event
venues, sponsors, vendors, and other third parties involved in Events shall not be deemed third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement and shall have no right to enforce any provision of this Agreement
against City.

Docusign Envelope ID: 8505293C-E4DB-4473-9F6B-1513821229FA
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit or impair any rights that City or Host Committee
may have under separate agreements with FIFA, Miami Dade County, or any other third party, nor shall
it be construed to limit the ability of any member of the public to exercise rights under applicable law,
including public records or civil rights laws.
18. No Partnership; Independent Contractor
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create a joint venture, partnership,
association, or other joint business enterprise between City and Host Committee. Neither Party shall
have any authority to incur any obligations on behalf of the other Party, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that City's role is limited to the provision of financial
support and City Services as set forth herein and that City does not share in any profits or losses of Host
Committee or of any Event.
The relationship of City and Host Committee under this Agreement is that of independent contracting
parties. Host Committee is and shall at all times remain an independent contractor and is not and shall
not be deemed to be an agent, employee, partner, or joint venturer of City for any purpose. Host
Committee has no authority to bind City to any obligation, agreement, or liability, and shall not
represent to any third party that it has such authority.
All persons employed by or engaged by Host Committee in connection with this Agreement or any
Event shall be solely the employees or contractors of Host Committee and shall not be considered
employees, agents, or representatives of City. Host Committee shall be solely responsible for the
payment of all compensation, wages, benefits, and taxes for such persons and for compliance with all
applicable employment and labor laws.
19. Use of Names, Logos, and Marks
Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Host Committee shall not use the name, logo, seal, or
other marks of City in any advertising, marketing, sponsorship, or promotional materials without the
prior written consent of City, which may be granted or withheld in City's sole discretion and which
may be subject to such conditions as City may require. Any authorized use of City's name or marks
shall be consistent with City's branding guidelines, if provided, and shall not imply that City endorses
any product, service, or private entity.
Nothing in this Agreement shall grant Host Committee any ownership interest in City's marks or other
intellectual property, and all goodwill arising from authorized uses shall inure to the benefit of City.
Conversely, nothing in this Agreement shall grant City any ownership interest in the names, logos, or
marks of Host Committee, FIFA, or any other third party; any use of such marks by City shall be subject
to the prior written consent of the applicable owner. City shall not publicize, or make any public or
other statements, or conduct any activities, in relation to, the nature of their relationship with Host
Committee, or conduct any other activities which may, in FIFA's opinion, create an association
between City, and FIFA and/or FIFA World Cup 2026, without the prior written consent of the Host
Committee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
20. Notices
All notices, requests, consents, approvals, demands, and other communications under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if: (a) delivered personally to an authorized
representative of the recipient; (b) sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, with

21. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida,
without regard to any choice of law or conflicts of law principles that would require the application of
the laws of any other jurisdiction.
22. Venue and Jurisdiction
The Parties agree that any legal action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement
or the transactions or relationships contemplated hereby shall be instituted exclusively in the state courts
of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami Dade County, Florida, or, if federal jurisdiction is
appropriate, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division.
Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, waives any objection based
on improper venue or forum non conveniens, and agrees not to seek transfer of any such action to any
other forum, except as may be required by law.
23. No Arbitration

binding alternative dispute resolution with respect to any dispute arising under or related to this
Agreement. Any reference in any document or communication to arbitration or similar binding

processes shall be of no force or effect unless specifically authorized by a subsequent written agreement
approved in accordance with applicable City procedures. This provision shall not preclude the Parties
from voluntarily engaging in non binding mediation or settlement discussions.
24. Waiver of Jury Trial
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, City and Host Committee each knowingly,
voluntarily, and irrevocably waives any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether
at law or in equity, arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
or relationships contemplated by this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise. Any
such action, suit, or proceeding shall be tried before a court and not before a jury. Each Party
acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to consult with counsel of its choosing regarding this jury
trial waiver, that it understands the legal effect of this provision, and that it enters into this waiver as a
free and voluntary act.
25. Miscellaneous
25.1. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform
its non monetary obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent such delay or failure is
caused by events that are beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party and that could not
have been prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence, including, by way of example only,
acts of God, natural disasters, hurricanes, acts of war, terrorism, civil disturbances, epidemics,
pandemics, strikes or other labor disputes (excluding those involving the affected Party's own
employees to the extent such disputes could have been reasonably avoided), governmental orders
or restrictions , or other similar events. The affected Party shall provide prompt written notice to
the other Party describing the force majeure event and shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to mitigate its effects and to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable. Nothing in
this Section shall limit or modify City's rights under this Agreement relating to non -appropriation
or unavailability of funds or resources.
25.2. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect, so long as the essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for both Parties
remain valid, binding, and enforceable. If the invalidity or unenforceability of a provision
materially affects the balance of benefits and obligations under this Agreement, the Parties shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to effectuate as nearly as possible the original
intent of the Parties.
25.3. No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in
writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is asserted. No waiver of any breach or
default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default, whether of a similar or different
nature, and no waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless expressly stated in writing. The
failure of either Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall
not be construed as a waiver of such provision.
25.4. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument
signed by authorized representatives of both Parties. Any amendment or modification that purports
to bind City shall be subject to such approvals and authorizations as may be required by applicable
law, the City Charter, and the Code of the City of Miami, Florida. No oral statements or prior
written materials that are not expressly incorporated into this Agreement shall have any force or
effect.

reason of authorship, and both Parties acknowledge that they have had the opportunity to review

expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations,
representations, understandings, and agreements, whether written or oral, relating to such subject
matter. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any exhibit or schedule,

to modify a specific provision of this Agreement and such modification has been approved in
