AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SEATTLE AND FESTIVALS, INC. REGARDING THE "BITE OF SEATTLE"

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between THE CITY OF SEATTLE (hereinafter referred to as the "City"), a first class city of the State of Washington, acting by and through its Seattle Center Director ("Director"), and FESTIVALS, INC. ("Concessionaire"), a Washington corporation.

IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises, covenants, conditions and performances hereinafter described, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. TERM.

This Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2009, and shall expire on December 31, 2011 (the "Term"), unless terminated earlier as provided herein. Each of the calendar years included in the Term is referred to in this Agreement as a "Festival Year."

2. PURPOSE.

Concessionaire shall organize and stage an annual "Bite of Seattle Festival" ("Festival") that shall be presented over not less than two and one-half (2 1/2) consecutive days; shall be primarily a food sales event; and which shall be open to the general public without admission charge.

For each year during the Term, the Festival shall take place on the following dates:

July 17-19, 2009 July 16-18, 2010 July 15-17, 2011

3. PREMISES.

A. Premises Available to be Licensed:

The Festival shall take place only on and in those portions of the Seattle Center grounds and facilities indicated in the Approved site plan described in Section 9. The areas identified on each annual Approved site plan shall constitute that Festival Year's premises ("Premises").

Buildings or portions thereof available to be licensed include: Seattle Center Pavilion Room B; Fisher Pavilion; Conference Rooms A, B, E and H; Snoqualmie Room; Skatepark and Alki Room. The Exhibition Hall and KeyArena concourses, if available, may be used for festival purposes. McCaw Hall spaces may be used at negotiated and agreed upon terms, provided the space is available.

Should an event in KeyArena scheduled from the Wednesday immediately preceding the festival and extending through the close of the festival on Sunday evening require ticketing capacity that would require use of the east box office, Seattle Center will provide, at its expense, a suitable replacement located outside the Approved site plan footprint.

B. Acceptance of Premises:

Concessionaire warrants and represents that it has investigated the grounds and facilities that may comprise the Premises from year to year, that the same are suitable for Concessionaire's intended purpose and that it accepts the Premises "as is." The City disclaims any and all representations, statements, and warranties, expressed or implied, with respect to the condition of the Premises or the use and occupancy authorized other than those contained in this Agreement.

C. Nonexclusive License to Use Common Areas:

The City hereby grants to Concessionaire and its officers, employees, agents, customers, and invitees the nonexclusive right to use the Seattle Center common areas as the same may be constituted from time to time, for the duration of each Festival. Such use shall be in common with all other visitors and users of the Seattle Center and shall be subject to such current rules and regulations as the Director may have promulgated.

D. South KeyArena Courtyard Area:

On each Festival day, Concessionaire may use the South KeyArena Courtyard on a twenty-four (24) hour-per-day basis for parking purposes only, unless the Courtyard is required by a third party for an event in the KeyArena. When using the Courtyard, Concessionaire shall ensure that all fire lanes remain open for emergency access and that parking is made available at no charge for vehicles driven by officers or employees of the Washington State Liquor Control Board, the Seattle-King County Department of Public Health, and the Seattle Fire Department on official business. If the South KeyArena Courtyard is unavailable, the City shall provide Concessionaire, each Festival day, with up to sixty (60) parking spaces in the 1st Avenue North Garage or other Seattle Center parking facility at no charge.

4. FEES AND CHARGES PAYABLE TO CITY.

A. Concessionaire's Obligation to Pay Fees and Charges:

Concessionaire shall pay to the City, without offset, all fees and charges described in this Agreement for each Festival presented during the Term. Charges and services not specifically enumerated but requested by Concessionaire shall be payable at the rates shown in the then-current Seattle Center Equipment, Services & Facilities Schedule or any successor publication.

B. Fee for Food, Wine and Merchandise Sales:

Concessionaire shall pay the City ten percent (10%) of all Gross Receipts derived from the sale of food, wine, and merchandise, except for receipts from craft and commercial vendors. Concessionaire shall pay the City $90 per booth for each craft vendor and commercial vendor or $5,490, whichever is greater. If there is a substantial alteration in the amount of space available for craft and commercial vendor booths as a result of Seattle Center construction or changes in applicable regulations, the above amounts may be renegotiated.

For each subsequent year of this Agreement the Landscape Maintenance Fee shall be adjusted by the percentage increase that occurred during the preceding calendar year in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers ("CPI-U" / 1982-84 = 100) Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton Metropolitan Area as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor, or its successor. If the CPI is discontinued, the Director shall select a similar index of comparable statistics on the cost of living for King County as shall be computed by an agency of the United States or by a responsible financial periodical or other recognized authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the annual Landscape Maintenance Fee be increased by more than three percent (3%) from the immediately preceding Festival Year, or be less than the fee paid during the immediately preceding Festival Year.

Concessionaire shall make arrangements directly with Seattle City Light to secure whatever additional electrical service is needed on the Premises beyond that presently installed at Seattle Center. All electricity use and service shall be separately metered where reasonably possible. The City shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that the electrical power capacity available for Festival use is equal to that available at the 2009 festival, however, if equal electrical power capacity cannot be provided because of any Seattle Center campus redevelopment work, the City and Concessionaire shall equally share the cost of securing whatever power capacity is required to make up the deficiency.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if fifty percent (50%) of the Premises is destroyed or is so damaged by fire or other casualty as to be untenantable or unusable, or if the City desires to discontinue Concessionaire's operations because of substantial destruction of the Premises or other part of Seattle Center, regardless of whether the Premises are destroyed, damaged, or otherwise, the City may terminate this Agreement by providing prior notice thereof to Concessionaire.

E. Notice of Termination:

Any notice of termination pursuant to this section shall be provided within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction and shall specify the effective date of such termination.

21. DEFAULT AND BREACH; TERMINATION THEREFOR.

A. Act of Default and Breach of Concessionaire:

The following acts and omissions shall constitute a default and material breach of this Agreement by Concessionaire:

(1) The failure to comply with all of the requirements of Section 8 hereof, regarding insurance; or

(2) The violation of any law, Charter provision, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, or directive; or

(3) The failure of Concessionaire to provide, in a timely manner all fees and charges due and owing, and all written reports due to the City; or

(4) The assignment of Concessionaire's interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Director; or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, or for reorganization or an arrangement; or the adjudication of Concessionaire as being bankrupt or insolvent; or the appointment of a receiver of or for Concessionaire if such appointment, adjudication or similar order or ruling remains in force or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days; or

(5) The failure to perform or the violation of any other condition or covenant of this Agreement where such default or deficiency in performance was not remedied within a reasonable time determined by the Director.

B. City's Notice of Default and Breach:

The Director shall provide notice to Concessionaire of any event of default, specifying the nature of the act or omission, the reasonable number of hours or days (not to exceed sixty [60] days after the date of the notice) within which such failure must be corrected or the violation must be ceased or remedied to avoid termination, and the City's intention to terminate this Agreement if such act or omission has not been corrected within such stated period.

C. Remedies Upon Termination:

If Concessionaire fails to correct, remedy, or cease such failure or violation within the time specified in the City's notice, the City may terminate this Agreement without any further proceedings, re-enter the Premises, lease and license others to use said Premises during any portion of the period of use remaining under this Agreement had it not been terminated, and receive rent and license fees therefor. Notwithstanding any such termination and re-entry, Concessionaire's liability for the minimum fees and charges to be paid to the City hereunder shall not be extinguished, and Concessionaire shall pay to the City the difference between said fees and charges and the sum the City receives for the use of the Premises any other users beginning on the date Concessionaire's rights under this Agreement are terminated and ending one year beyond the current Festival year, or the expiration of this Agreement, whichever is sooner. The extent of Concessionaire's liability for the year beyond the current Festival year shall be limited to the prior years' Landscape Maintenance Fee, but in no event less than $35,000. Such payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the date of the City's invoice therefore. Such termination and payments shall not relieve Concessionaire from liability to the City for any damages caused by Concessionaire's default and breach and expenses incurred in the leasing or licensing of the Premises.

D. Default By The City:

The City shall not be in default of any obligation to perform under this Agreement unless the City fails to perform such obligation within a reasonable time, which time shall not extend more than thirty (30) days after notice by Concessionaire to the City specifying the particular obligation that the City has failed to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of the City's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then the City shall not be in default if the City commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

22. SURRENDER OF PREMISES, HOLDING OVER.

A. Surrender and Delivery:

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, and in no event later than 7:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday following each Festival, Concessionaire shall surrender the Premises and promptly deliver to the Director all keys Concessionaire, its subconcessionaires and any of their officers, agents, and employees may have to any portion of the Seattle Center and the Premises.

B. Removal of Concessionaire's and Subconcessionaire's Property:

Prior to the conclusion of each Festival, or within five (5) days after the termination of this Agreement, Concessionaire shall remove all fixtures, furnishings, trade equipment, and personal property owned or installed by Concessionaire or any of its subconcessionaires in, on, or from the Premises, taking due care to not unreasonably injure or damage the Premises, and shall ensure that such repairs to the Premises as shall be necessary are made, at no cost to the City, to restore the Premises to their condition as of the commencement date of this Agreement, ordinary wear and tear and improvements, additions, and alterations Approved by the City excepted. Except as may be required by the Director, improvements, additions, and alterations installed on the Premises by the City shall not be removed.

If Concessionaire fails to remove all fixtures, furnishings, trade equipment, and other personal property owned or installed by or for Concessionaire or any of its subconcessionaires on or by the time specified in Subsection 22.B, hereof, the City may, but shall not be required to remove such material from the Premises and store the same, all at Concessionaire's expense; and if the City removes or arranges for the storage of such material, the City shall be reimbursed its costs therefor, including any administrative costs, which reimbursement shall constitute a claim upon Concessionaire.

D. Hold-over Use and Occupancy of Premises:

If Concessionaire, with or without consent, holds over after the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the deadline for Surrender and Delivery specified in Subsection 22 A., Concessionaire shall pay to the City an additional holdover fee in the amount of $5,000 within twenty (20) days after the date of a City invoice therefor, and shall continue to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

E. No Claims For Removal:

In no event shall Concessionaire or any of its subconcessionaires make any claim or demand upon the City nor shall the City be liable for any inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, or loss of business or any other damage suffered by Concessionaire or any of its subconcessionaires arising out of such removal operations under Subsection 22.B or 22.C, hereof.

The action of the Seattle Center Director or his/her designee pursuant to or in implementation of this Agreement does not constitute any official action by any other City Department or official that may be required by law, ordinance, rule or regulation before Concessionaire may rightfully commence, suspend, enlarge or terminate any particular undertaking or may obtain or exercise any particular right or privilege under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Director determines, in the exercise of his/her discretion, that in order to facilitate the redevelopment of the Seattle Center, any portion of the Premises is required for some use or purpose other than that contemplated by the parties under this Agreement, the Director shall have the power to materially change the Premises without recourse by Concessionaire. The Director shall notify Concessionaire of any such material change and the effective date thereof, not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Festival that would be affected by such change.

28. NO WAIVER.

No waiver of full performance by either party shall be construed, or operate, as a waiver of any subsequent default of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. The payment or acceptance of any compensation or fee for any period after a default shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or acceptance of defective performance.

29. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

Rights under this Agreement are cumulative; failure to exercise on any occasion any right shall not operate to forfeit such right on another occasion. Each party shall also have any other remedy given by the law. The use of one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to use another.

30. USE OF LANGUAGE.

Terms used in the neuter gender include the masculine and feminine; and terms used in the singular or plural include the other, as the context may require.

31. CAPTIONS.

The titles of sections are for convenience only and do not define or limit the contents.
