D. In carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, Licensee shall comply with the Seattle Center Site Guidelines for Producing the Northwest Folklife Festival at Seattle Center ("Site Guidelines"), Seattle Center Facility Use Agreement and Addenda ("Facility Addenda"), Grounds Access Policy and Fisher Guidelines or any successor publications. The current Site Guidelines and Facility Addenda, which are subject to modification from time to time by the Director, are attached hereto as Exhibits A and B and incorporated herein by reference. The City will make a good faith effort to work with the Festival to resolve issues that may result from any modifications. E.

May not displace other official Festival sponsors, merchants or programs b. May not be sold to or used by sponsors who compromise the exclusivity privileges of Licensee's sponsors or its mission c. May not be sold for sponsorships that are limited to the duration of the Festival 2. Seattle Center booth participation is subject to all the rules and regulations of Licensee regarding booths. 3. The City is responsible for all equipment and technical costs associated with the booth spaces costs including canopies, lighting, decor, and staffing. 4. The City must staff its booths from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. of all Festival days or as approved by Licensee. 5. All booth activities and signage must be approved in writing by Licensee. 6.

Participation includes attending Fest...l meetings, advising Fest...l staff and member organizations, supporting educational and other programs of member organizations, and benefiting from Fest...l marketing, public relations, sponsorship programs and staff expertise. This provision notwithstanding, nothing contained in any Fest...l member contract shall be deemed to modify or supersede this Agreement. G. Damage and Loss Deposit. On or before the first Festival move-in day throughout the Term of this Agreement, Licensee shall deposit with the Director the sum of $3,000 (the "Deposit") solely for the annual Festival. Said sum shall be held by the City as a deposit for Licensee's faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and to compensate the City for any other loss or damage that the City may suffer by reason of Licensee's default or use of the Premises (as that term is defined in Section III) for Festival-related purposes. If Licensee defaults with respect to any provision of this Agreement or the City is damaged in any way by Licensee's permitted use, the City may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this Deposit for the payment of any amount which City may spend by reason of Licensee's default or use. If Licensee fully and faithfully performs every provision of this Agreement to be performed by it, the Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Licensee at the conclusion of each Festival on the day after Licensee has vacated the Premises. H. Report of Damage or Destruction. Licensee shall submit a written report to the Director regarding the circumstances of any damage to the Premises (as that term is defined in Section III), within twenty-four (24) hours after its discovery. III. CITY OBLIGATIONS A. Facilities and Equipment 1. Subject to the Special Conditions stated below and if the facility then exists and is functioning as a public use facility and has been included in the Facility Use Plan (as described in Exhibit A hereto), the City shall provide throughout the Festival, free of any license fee or rental charge, the following facilities and grounds areas for Licensee's Festivalrelated use. The facilities and grounds areas, together with the Office Space described in Exhibit C hereto, are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Premises." As used in this Agreement, the phrase "if the facility then exists and is functioning as a public use facility" means the facility has not been or is not scheduled to be demolished or destroyed and, at the time Licensee desires its use, the Director is willing to allocate whatever resources are required to keep it in a good operating condition and open and available for public use on a regular basis (rather than especially for Licensee's use). The Director retains sole discretion under this Agreement to discontinue the public use of any facility that Licensee desires to use and to thereby not make it available hereunder because it is no longer economical to keep the facility open for public use due to damage, its need for maintenance, a prior change in the function of such facility, to facilitate the redevelopment of Seattle Center, or other good reason at the time of Licensee's desired use. Where possible, the Director will attempt to accommodate Licensee's needs and interests when it considers further development of the Premises.
The conditions for use of the above-listed facilities shall not be affected by any change in the name of such facility, or their substitute facilities, if applicable. 2. Licensee agrees to notify Seattle Center of any room that will not be used in the final Event Service Order (as described in Exhibit A hereto, and referred to herein as "ESO"). If Licensee fails to notify City, notwithstanding the provisions of section III.A.1 above, Licensee shall pay the City for any facility Licensee reserves but does not use. This fee shall be equal to the current daily not-for-profit facility and/or grounds rental rate. 3. Promotions: Seattle Center shall promote the Festival by installing signage on general readerboards and on facilityspecific boards as the Director determines is reasonable under the circumstances. Provided Licensee supplies the City with a banner meeting specifications that are reasonable to the Director, the City shall install such banner on the Mercer Street elevated walkway fourteen (14) days prior to the Festival opening date or the conclusion of any proceeding event for which a banner was required. 4. Licensee has inspected and examined the physical condition of the Premises, including the Office Space, and accepts the same in their present condition as of the commencement date of this Agreement. The City disclaims all representations, statements or warranties, expressed or implied, that may have been made by or on the City's behalf with respect to the condition of the Premises, including the Office Space, or their use or occupancy, other than those contained in this Agreement. Licensee shall not alter or improve the Premises or the Office Space without the Director's prior written consent. Licensee shall bear all expenses for any approved alteration or improvement that Licensee requested for its use and occupation of the Premises and Office Space. All approved alterations or improvements to the Office Space shall, at the Director's request, become the property of the City at the end of this Agreement, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, without injury thereto. B. City-Supplied Services and Facilities 1. Labor . For each Festival, the City shall provide technical equipment operators and other staff as specified below to meet Festival sound, stage, security, janitorial, and other labor, recycling and garbage needs as stated in the approved ESO to a maximum dollar equivalent of $230,702., in 2012 dollars. For the duration of this Agreement, the dollar value specified shall be adjusted annually by the amount of the cost of living adjustment contained in the contract negotiated between the City and the Joint Crafts Council, if any. The parties agree to equally split any savings in labor costs, up to the maximum dollar equivalent. Licensee shall promptly reimburse the City for the full costs of providing any labor in excess of the maximum dollar equivalent stated above. For purposes of calculating such excess costs, all labor hours shall be billed at the then-current internal Seattle Center labor rates. a. Stage . Labor hours shall be used for move-in, rehearsals, performances and move-out, only. b. Sound . Labor hours for sound shall be used for move-in, rehearsals, performances and move-out, only. c. Facility Support Laborers . Labor hours for facility support laborers shall include work performed by maintenance laborers, utility laborers, laborers, dining room attendants, and janitors on the grounds and in facilities for the purpose of set-up, cleaning in facilities and on the grounds during the Festival and clean-up after each Festival day closes. d. Security and Admissions . Labor hours shall be used for move-in, rehearsals, performances, and move-out, only. e. Technical Services . Labor hours shall include work performed by building operating engineers, carpenters, landscape maintenance workers, metal fabricators, plumbers and electricians. f. Event Service Representative : Hours shall include duty manager coverage during load in; event days and load out, as well as time spent advancing the festival and documentation of each day's activities. 2. Office Space . The City shall provide Office Space, including utility service therefore, as indicated and upon the terms and conditions stated in Exhibit C hereto. Licensee shall comply with all such terms and conditions. 3. Waste Removal . Removal of garbage and recycling from the Premises during the days of the Festival shall be the responsibility of the City. Licensee shall assist Seattle Center personnel in the planning and implementation of a waste removal program which may require Licensee, at no cost to the City, to collect, sort and separate into such categories as Seattle Center personnel may request, all solid waste products generated on the Premises. The City reserves the right to refuse to collect or accept from Licensee any waste product that is not sorted and separated as the Director requires, and to require the Licensee to arrange for the collection of the same at the Licensee's sole cost and expense using a City-approved contractor. Licensee shall pay all costs, fines, penalties, and damages that may be imposed on City or the Licensee as a consequence of the Licensee's failure to comply with the provisions of this subsection. 4. Parking . The City shall provide, by and through Seattle Center's Transportation Services, parking permits as indicated below:
5. Conference and Meeting Facilities. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Licensee may reserve, free of any license fee, such Seattle Center conference and meeting facilities as may be available on dates other than those of any annual Festival, for Festival-related activities. Licensee may reserve up to six separate dates. The availability of additional dates and facilities will not be confirmed by the City prior to ninety (90) days in advance of their desired use by Licensee. IV. PUBLICITY AND MEDIA RESPONSIBILITIES. A. Sponsorships . The parties shall work collaboratively and cooperatively in their efforts to secure major advertising or sponsorship agreements that grant exclusive rights to the Festival or Seattle Center grounds and facilities with the goal of minimizing conflicts and maximizing returns for both parties. Seattle Center has an aggressive business strategy to secure corporate sponsors. In some cases, a corporate sponsor may require and/or receive exclusive product sales and marketing opportunities at Seattle Center which may include specific facilities or all of Seattle Center. In the event Seattle Center has granted an exclusive sponsorship, Licensee shall not grant a competing sponsorship opportunity in that category. The City and Licensee will work collaboratively and cooperatively with each other regarding potential corporate sponsorship agreements that may conflict with either Licensee's corporate sponsorship for the Festival or the City's sales efforts for Seattle Center. Each will notify the other in advance of finalizing exclusive long-term partners. The City will make best efforts to minimize impacts to Licensee's temporary sponsorship sales by limiting temporary signage or excluding rights for said corporate sponsorship for Seattle Center during the Festival. In the event that City secures an exclusive advertising or corporate sponsor that creates a conflict between an existing Licensee advertising or corporate sponsorship agreement then both parties should seek a collaborative alternative resolution of the conflict either logistically or via compensation. If no agreement can be reached then the Seattle Center Director reserves the right to make the final decision. B. Attribution . All Festival publicity shall identify Seattle Center as a primary Festival sponsor. Such publicity shall include the wording, "Presented by Northwest Folklife and Seattle Center," and shall include the Seattle Center logo whenever Licensee's logo is used. Licensee shall maintain a link between its website and the Seattle Center website. C. Cross-Promotional Activities : Licensee shall develop and implement a cross-promotional strategy in cooperation with the Director, whereby Seattle Center may promote its events and activities using Licensee communications and promotional tools. Licensee may promote events and activities by way of the Seattle Center communications systems and use Seattle Center's promotional tools with the Director's permission. D. Media Rights . Both the City and Licensee shall have the right to photograph and record (audio or video) any and all activity during any Festival, including but not limited to entertainment, without any compensation having to be paid by either party to the other, except that the media rights inside the KeyArena are subject to the City's contractual rights with a third party. E. Photographic and Recording Releases. Licensee shall secure from each Festival performer a written document authorizing the City's and/or Licensee's use, without compensation to such performer, of such performer's photographic image and recorded commentary or music (both audio and video) for public information and promotional purposes only. Licensee shall maintain such records in its offices during the term of this Agreement and in King County, Washington for a period of three years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. All records shall be available to the City for inspection during that time. F. Graphics Ownership. Licensee shall own the rights to all graphics produced in implementation of this Agreement, provided, however, that the City may use any and all of such graphics free of charge for any promotional activities directly related to the Festival. G. Licensee's Responsibilities. Licensee shall furnish the Director with programming material regarding the Festival, its participants, and related matters, as may be requested by the Director and is reasonably available.

Licensee and its contractors shall not display, post, or distribute any sign, symbol, advertising of any nature, or any printed material (including but not limited to posters) on any part of the Seattle Center (including the Office Space), without the Director's approval.

All individuals and business entities authorized by Licensee to engage in such concession activity during the Festival shall obtain from Licensee and display on their person or at their place of business on Seattle Center grounds, official acknowledgment (i.e., approved Festival credentials) of such authorization in a form approved by the Director. 2.

If the Director has a reasonable belief that Licensee is in violation of any law or regulation, or that any action or inaction of Licensee presents a threat of violation or a threat of damage to the Premises, the City may enter onto the Premises and take such corrective or mitigating action as the Director deems necessary. All costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with any such action shall become immediately due and payable by Licensee upon presentation of an invoice therefore. D. Testing .

In addition, Licensee understands that the City may access the Premises at any time, even during the Festival, for the purpose of conducting environmental testing at the City's expense. Licensee shall not conduct or permit others to conduct environmental testing on the Premises without first obtaining the Director's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee shall promptly inform the Director of the existence of any environmental study, evaluation, investigation or results of any environmental testing conducted on the Premises whenever the same becomes known to Licensee, and Licensee shall provide a written copy of the same to the Director within thirty (30) days after the preparation of any such material. E. Removal of Hazardous Substances Prior to Vacation of Premises . Before vacating any portion of the Premises, in addition to all other requirements under this Agreement, Licensee shall remove any Hazardous Substances that Licensee placed on the Premises during the term of this Agreement or Licensee's possession of the Premises, and shall demonstrate such removal to the Director's reasonable satisfaction. F. Reimbursement of City Costs. In addition to any remedy provided above, the City shall be entitled to full reimbursement from Licensee whenever the City incurs any cost resulting from Licensee's violation of any of the terms of this Section VI, including, but not limited to, the cost of clean-up or any other remedial activity, fines, penalties assessed directly against the City, injuries to third persons or other property, and loss of revenue resulting from an inability to lease or market the Premises due to its environmental condition as the result of Licensee's violation of the terms of this Agreement (even if such loss of revenue occurs after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement).

B. Licensee shall maintain an annual operating budget sufficient to fund the operation of the Festival, to maintain an annual administrative operation, and to support Licensee's related activities. C. Licensee is hereby authorized to solicit funds from the general public at Seattle Center during the Festival, during other Licenseesponsored activities at Seattle Center, and during other Licensee and City jointly co-sponsored activities.

Its roots reach back more than 100 years as a site of Native American celebrations. Today this place is home to sports teams, top performing arts groups and the city's most recognized attractions. It's the place to be for rock concerts and operas, art fairs, basketball, ballroom dancing and major festivals of the arts and culture that are signature events for Seattle, King County and the entire Pacific Northwest region. As an agency of the city, Seattle Center works hard to create environments respectful of each festival's distinctive mission, audience and needs. In order to meet the needs of each festival and to protect this precious site for all users at all times, these site guidelines have been drawn up as a framework around which to plan. They are designed to facilitate teamwork between Seattle Center staff and festival organizers. They convey the spirit of cooperation Seattle Center brings to making major festivals the heart of its outdoor programming. I. NORTHWEST FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL ("LICENSEE") OBLIGATIONS A. Licensee shall employ or otherwise provide all professional staff necessary to ensure production of the Festival at Seattle Center. Subject to the City's collective bargaining agreements, some positions will need to be filled with union staffing from Seattle Center. B.

C. Event Service Order: Licensee shall develop and produce a separate Event Service Order for each Festival. If the Event Service Order submitted by Licensee is not consistent with these Site Guidelines and the Facility Addenda (Exhibit B of the Agreement), Seattle Center staff shall so notify Licensee and shall negotiate modifications to the Event Service Order to accommodate the needs of the parties, and the Event Service Order shall thereafter be revised. Any costs incurred for the production of the revised Event Service Order shall be borne by Licensee. 1) Each Event Service Order shall describe the complete technical and facility set-up desired in or on the Seattle Center facilities and grounds that have been reserved for use during that year's Festival, including all Seattle Center equipment, services, supplies and material within the specified facilities and available for use at specified "on-grounds areas", as indicated in the Site Guidelines and Facility Addenda, that Licensee desires to use for Festival purposes.

Facility Addendum information subject to change. FISHER PAVILLION Guidelines for Use of Rooftop The following guidelines have been approved by the Seattle Center Executive Committee: 1. The weight limit on the Fisher Pavilion Rooftop is 125 lbs. per square foot.* *Note: Concern has been expressed that this weight restriction seems very limiting. It may help to realize that this is the same load limit as the stage pieces that Seattle Center uses. A practical example shows that a 24' x 16' area of the Rooftop would have an overall capacity of 48,000 lbs, or 24 tons (see below). Therefore, the weight of a small 24'x16' stage plus performers, sound equipment, trussing, etc., would have to total more than 24 tons to exceed capacity. This should be sufficient for anticipated festival and other special event activity on the Rooftop. The key is to remember that the weight of static equipment needs to be distributed, not on a single point, hence the need for plywood surface underneath (see #2 below). 24'x16' = 384 sq ft --> 384 s.f. x 125 lbs = 48,000 lbs --> 48,000 lbs / 2,000 = 24 tons 2. All stationary equipment such as stages, sound equipment, or catering equipment on the Rooftop must be placed on a 3/4" plywood base to distribute the weight. 3. Areas where audiences/attendees would stand or sit can be directly on the Rooftop surface; however it is recommended that chairs on the Rooftop have runners rather than legs to avoid pressure points on the tiles. 4. No stakes of any kind may be used on the Rooftop. Foot pads must be placed under tent legs. Tent weights must not be rolled or dragged across surfaces. 5. The only powered vehicles permitted on the Rooftop are the smallest Seattle Center forklift (weighing 6,800 lbs. with a carrying capacity of 3,000 lbs.) or Seattle Center electric carts. Only Seattle Center staff may drive these vehicles, and a plywood surface must be laid under the entire path of the vehicle as is required on lawn surfaces. No other vehicles or drivers are permitted on the roof. No vehicles are permitted at any time on the Overlook area along the North edge of the Rooftop. 6. Handcarts/dollies may be used directly on the Rooftop surface to move materials but must have non-marking tires with 5" minimum casters. 7. Pallet jacks may also be used but must have a plywood path laid underneath them on the Rooftop given the heavier loads they carry. 8. Adequate surface protection must be provided for cooking, oil or greaseproducing activities as follows: * On surfaces where cooking is undertaken, the entire area being used, whether for booth, food preparing and cooking, or other purposes must be thoroughly protected against food, beverage, ash and grease spills by having flooring in layers as follows: (a) Lower layer of 4' x 8' X 3/4" or thicker plywood installed directly under each cooking unit (barbecues, deep fryers, grills, griddles, spit, woks, etc.) as well as not less than 4' around each cooking unit. (b) Upper layer of rubber backed carpet or Astroturf securely joined together in a manner that covers the entire booth, i.e., cooking and all other areas. * On surfaces where no cooking is undertaken, rubber backed carpet or Astroturf securely joined together in a manner that covers the entire area will be required when catering or food sampling is being done. Seattle Center reserves the right to require the client to use rubber backed carpet or Astroturf in areas that it deems necessary. * Any waste produced from such activities (such as ash, coals, etc.) shall be disposed of in appropriate containers supplied by and disposed of by the client. Any exceptions to these guidelines must be approved by the Seattle Center Director or his/her designee. NORTHWEST ROOMS ADDENDUM To Facility Use Agreement
