potential health risk with respect to any Hazardous Material present at the Leased Property.

Without limitation of Lessee's indemnification obligations as provided in this Lease, Lessee agrees
to indemnify, defend (at its own cost and expense), covenant not to sue, and hold harmless the
City, their respective officers, officials, and employees, in their individual or official capacity

omissions by Lessee taken as a result of or in connection with this Lease. Without limitation of the
foregoing, Lessee 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 Lessee, or any of its subcontractors, agents, representatives, or consultants
as provided above, for which Lessee's liability to such employee or former employee would
otherwise be limited to payments under state Workers' Compensation laws or similar laws.
In the event that any action, cause of action, claim, demand or proceeding is brought against the
Indemnitees, Lessee shall, upon written notice from the City, resist and defend such action or
proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the City. Lessee expressly understands and agrees
that any insurance protection required by this Contract or otherwise provided by Contractor shall
in no way limit the responsibility to indemnify, hold, keep and save harmless and defend the
Indemnitees. This indemnification provision shall survive the expiration, termination, failure to
renew, or cancellation of this Lease and shall continue in effect until the expiration of the
corresponding statute of limitations. Lessee recognizes the broad nature of this indemnification
provision and all other indemnification obligations contained in this Lease and specifically
acknowledges that City would not have entered into this Lease without Lessee's agreement to
indemnify City and further acknowledges the receipt of good and valuable separate consideration
provided by City in support hereof in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. This
provision shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

Phase 2 Continued
A Vision for Expanded Dry Rack Storage at the Miami Yacht Club
As the Miami Yacht Club continues to evolve to meet the needs of our city's maritime
enthusiasts, we are excited to pursue a key enhancement to our campus: the development of
a modern, expanded vertical dry rack storage facility. This project is central to our long-term
plan to improve member services, elevate operational efficiency, and generate sustainable
revenue that supports the continued vitality of our club long into the future.
Miami's boating community continues to grow, and with that growth comes increased demand
for convenient, secure, and accessible dry storage. Our vision includes the construction of a
vertical dry rack facility that will dramatically expand our capacity, allowing us to safely
accommodate a greater number of vessels while optimizing our existing waterfront footprint.
This initiative is more than an amenity, it's a strategic investment in the future of the club. By
increasing our dry storage capacity, we unlock the potential to welcome new members, reduce
waitlists, and generate significant additional revenue through both membership dues and
monthly storage fees.
We envision a structure that integrates seamlessly with our campus, respects the scale and
beauty of our waterfront, and reflects modern environmental and architectural standards. From
material selection to storm -resilient construction, this project will uphold our commitment to
building responsibly on the bay.

The outlined Capital Improvements Plan represents a thoughtful and forward -looking vision
for the future of the Miami Yacht Club. Phases 1 through 3 are fully developed and budgeted,
reflecting immediate and essential infrastructure investments that align with our mission and
the expectations of the City. These phases are integral to the proposed new lease and will be

but the greater Miami community residents, families, students, scientists, and environmental
innovators alike. Our aspirational goals reflect a shared desire to create a hub of activity,
education, and environmental leadership right on the water's edge.
New Multi -Use Facility Building
The Light House: Miami Yacht Club's Beacon for the Future
Rising gracefully along the shoreline of Watson Island, The Light House will be the centerpiece
of the Miami Yacht Club's next chapter, a forward -thinking facility that honors our maritime
roots while embracing a bold, community and education focused future.
Envisioned as a dynamic, multi -purpose space, The Light House is designed to serve as a
vibrant nexus for education, innovation, environmental stewardship, and civic engagement.
A Launchpad for Youth Sailing
At the heart of The Light House will be a dedicated wing for our 501c3 Youth Sailing
Foundation that will serve as a welcoming space where young Miamians of all backgrounds
can learn the fundamentals of sailing, seamanship, and leadership. Outfitted with classrooms,
locker rooms, and a flexible indoor/outdoor rigging yard, this area will offer year-round
programming designed to empower the next generation of sailors, environmental stewards,
and community leaders. With direct access to our protected bay, it will be a true launching
point of bright sailing futures for the next generation of Olympic greats.
Innovation Dock: A Home for Blue Tech
Within this new facility, we will house the Innovation Dock that will be a state-of-the-art
workspace and wet labs for Blue Tech startups and marine innovators. These adaptable studios
will support the development and real -world testing of new technologies focused on clean
water, sustainable boating, aquaculture, and climate resilience. As a living laboratory on the
bay, the building will foster public -private partnerships that place Miami at the forefront of the
Blue Economy.
EcoLab: Marine Science in Action
Also included in this space will be the EcoLab, an environmental research and learning center
operated in collaboration with local universities and marine conservation organizations.
Complete with research tanks, analysis stations, and a digital classroom, the EcoLab will host
visiting scientists, student groups, and citizen science initiatives focused on restoring Biscayne
Bay and preserving our fragile coastline.
Sunset Deck: Event Space with a Purpose
Crowning the building, an expansive, light -filled event space and rooftop terrace. The Sunset
Deck will offer breathtaking views of the bay and downtown skyline. Designed to host
community partner events, nonprofit fundraisers, educational seminars, and private rentals,
this space will serve as both a revenue generating asset and a resource for Miami's civic and
cultural organizations. Fully equipped with modern A/V capabilities, catering support, and
flexible seating, it will be as versatile as it is inspiring.
A Sustainable Symbol
Constructed with environmentally conscious materials and powered by renewable energy, the
Sunset Deck will be a showcase of sustainable design. From solar panels, energy efficient
lighting and rainwater harvesting, every element of the building will reflect our deep
commitment to protecting the waters we call home.
More Than a Building
The Light House is more than bricks and mortar, it is a symbol of the Miami Yacht Club's
enduring promise to serve our members, our neighbors, and our environment. It is where sails
are raised, ideas are born, partnerships are forged, and the community comes together.
We're not just building a facility; we're building the future of what a boating club can
mean for a City.
Aspirational Public / Private Partnership Investments
Mooring Field and Marine Patrol Building
At the Miami Yacht Club, our commitment to stewardship extends beyond our docks. As we
look to the future, we are proud to announce our ambition to build a new, purpose -driven
facility that honors both our responsibility to the mooring field community and our dedication
to our partnership with the Miami Marine Patrol to continue to enhance maritime safety and
environmental protection.
This new Mooring Field & Marine Patrol Office would replace the current spaces provided for
the mooring field operations and the Miami Marine Patrol offices. This space will serve as a vital
hub, functioning both as the operations center for our mooring field staff partners and as a
state-of-the-art station for the Miami Marine Patrol, a long-standing tenant and essential
partner in safeguarding Biscayne Bay.
To bring this vision to life, we are hopeful that the City of Miami will stand with us, not only
through grant opportunities, but also by encouraging support and coordination from
the developers and stakeholders of neighboring parcels on Watson Island. Together, we have
a unique opportunity to align our goals and build a world -class waterfront infrastructure that
serves the city, protects the environment, and strengthens our maritime community. We see
this project as a cornerstone for broader collaboration and progress across the island.
A Modern Home for Our Mooring Field Team
The new facility will provide a professional, functional, and comfortable workspace for the
mooring field team, an area that serves as a refuge for local boaters and visiting mariners alike.
With enhanced technology, modern equipment storage, and improved waterfront access, the
mooring field staff will be better equipped than ever to manage field operations, uphold safety
standards, and offer hospitality and support to our growing Miami boating community. This
investment reflects our respect for the behind -the -scenes heroes who ensure the integrity,
cleanliness, environmental compliance, and security of the mooring field every day.
A New Chapter for the Miami Marine Patrol
As Miami's marine environment faces increasing pressures from traffic, tides, and climate, the
need for a strong and visible marine law enforcement presence has never been greater. That's
why we are proud to design this facility with a dedicated space for the City of Miami Marine
Patrol, whose work protects our waters, enforces environmental and safety regulations, and
responds swiftly to emergencies on the bay.
This state-of-the-art station will include secure vessel docking, briefing rooms, surveillance
capabilities, and amenities that allow patrol officers to remain fully equipped and responsive.
By investing in this space, we are deepening our commitment to public safety and
environmental accountability on the water.
Let's Chart the Course —Together
As the Miami Yacht Club approaches its 100th year, we stand at a defining moment, not just
for our club, but for our city, our bay, and the legacy we all share. This vision for our campus is
bold, but it is also deeply rooted in service: to our youth, to our environment, to innovation,
and to the generations of Miamians who deserve access to the water that defines us.
We invite the City of Miami, private corporate partners, philanthropic partners, City leaders and
community organizations to join us in bringing this vision to life. Together, we have the
opportunity to transform Watson Island into a model of public access to coastal greenspaces,
educational excellence, and civic pride. With thoughtful investment and united effort, we can
create a space that reflects not only where Miami has been, but where it is going.
As the only Olympic stakeholder representing Miami in international sailing around the world,
the Miami Yacht Club is more than a club, it is a symbol of Miami's soul and national leadership
as a City. Let us honor that legacy and build something truly extraordinary, together that can
remind the Country why Miami is the Magic City.
The course is set. Let's sail forward —united, ambitious, and anchored in purpose.
