The City reserves the right to receive any revenue from permanent or temporary Advertising in any Seattle Center facility, including the Premises, presented by the City or its licensees and directed to the general public or any other person or entity, whether or not the Advertising occurs during University's use of the Premises. D. Title Sponsor's Right to Display on Basketball Floor: The title sponsor for the KeyArena will be entitled to require that the title sponsor's own advertisement or display be presented on the basketball floor used by University, without the payment by the City or any other person or entity of any sum of money to University, and City reserves for itself the right to grant any title sponsor the right to such display opportunities. The location of any title sponsor's advertisement or display will be subject to mutual agreement of the City and University. E. Display of Seattle Center Identification on Basketball Components and Game Floor: The City will have the right to display the words "Seattle Center" and the building name on the basketball floor and basketball components of the KeyArena, for example: "KeyArena at Seattle Center". X. CONSIDERATION DUE TO THE CITY FROM UNIVERSITY A. License Fee: University will pay the City the following per game amount ("License Fee") for Home Games using only KeyArena's lower bowl. If University uses the upper bowl for any Home Game, University will pay the License Fee and reimburse the City for any additional cost associated with staffing and opening the upper bowl as described further in Section XIV. The License Fee includes the items noted in Exhibit 2. It does not include items that are subject to University's discretion such as incremental support for pre-game, mid-game, and post-game activities or catering. If University elects to hold a Home Game on a City holiday, the License Fee for that Home Game will be increased by Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) to cover the additional overtime costs incurred by the City.
Actual average per game Seattle Center expense of producing the 2012-2013 games including the items listed in Exhibit 2, plus any CPI adjustment for 2013-2014 season and 2014-2015 season. 2015-2016 2014-2015 License Fee plus CPI adjustment. B. Additional Expenses: University will pay the City as Additional Expenses the cost of all services and labor provided to University that are not included in the License Fee.

Cancellation Fee: University shall pay the City a fee of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) for each Confirmed Date for a Home Game it cancels with less than sixty (60) days notice to the City. The cancellation fee will be waived if the Home Game is rescheduled during the same basketball season. Upon University's request, if a cancelled Home Game is not rescheduled, the cancellation fee will be waived up to two times during the Term, but not in the same Season, and once during the Extended Term. D. Additional Consideration: The City is entering into this Agreement with University, in part, because University's Home Games enhance the offering of Seattle Center and draw people to the Seattle Center campus and lower Queen Anne and South Lake Union business districts. The University is committed to contribute to community, civic and economic vitality of the Center and the surrounding neighborhood. University will also provide additional public benefits every Season of the Term as follows: 1. A program where one thousand (1,000) tickets per Season will be provided at no cost to local non-profits to distribute to children who might otherwise be unable to attend a Home Game. 2. A significant community service program per Season administered by University's Center for Service and Community Engagement. 3. Assignment of up to five (5) University interns per Season in business, sports administration, marketing, communications, or related fields to the City. 4.

A ticket pricing structure that promotes affordable family entertainment, with two hundred (200) tickets per Home Game priced at no greater than Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per game, adjusted Seasonally by the CPI, so a broad section of the community is always able to attend Home Games. 6. Consistent with University's own strong policies in support of environmental sustainability, University will provide an opportunity at each Home Game for public service announcements in support of Seattle Center, Seattle University or City of Seattle environmental sustainability programs. XI.

A. Payments Due Monthly: On or before the fifth (5th) day of each month during the Term of this Agreement, the City will invoice University for the aggregate amount of the License Fee and any Additional Expenses that have become due and payable as a consequence of University's use of the Premises during the preceding calendar month. B. Payments Due After Invoice: University shall pay all other amounts due to the City pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days following receipt of the City's invoice. C. Annual Reconciliation: By April 30 of each Season, University shall provide the City with a report listing the per game and season totals of tickets sold, complimentary tickets issued, season ticket holders, Home Game attendance, and a summary of University's provision of benefits under Section X.D. Thereafter, the Director shall perform a reconciliation, taking into consideration any cancellation fees due from the University; any payment due to University as a result of the redevelopment of KeyArena, any Revenue Sharing due to University, and any outstanding miscellaneous charges or credits otherwise due upon presentation of any invoice.

D. Delinquencies, Invoicing Service Charge and Interest: All payments will be delinquent if not paid by the date specified on the invoice. Delinquent payments will be subject to an invoicing service charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) and will also bear interest at a rate of one percent (1%) per month from the date of the delinquency until paid. Payments made after a delinquency will be applied first to accrued interest, and then to the principal sum due. E. Books and Records; Audit: 1. The parties shall keep true, accurate, complete and auditable records and receipts relating to the activities under this Agreement, which shall be distinguishable from the records pertaining to other business activities. 2.

Additionally University will use its best efforts to obtain any approvals or permits required by the NCAA and any NCAA Division I Athletics Conference which University may join, for alcohol sales at University events.

C. Novelties: The City hereby grants University the exclusive right to sell and display Novelties in the KeyArena at all Home Games in the specific locations designated by the Director. The Director will consult with University regarding the Director's designation of areas allowed for the sale of Novelties. University is entitled to one hundred percent (100%) of the revenue generated from the permitted sale of Novelties. D. Revenue Sharing: In consideration of the fact that University enhances the value of KeyArena and that increased events will result in increased opportunities to generate additional advertising and sponsorship revenue, the City will pay to University the following amounts per Season. These payments will be conditioned on University achieving the identified standard for season ticket sales or average attendance per game. As a condition of University's exercising the option to extend the Term of this Agreement, by July 1, 2013, the parties will reach agreement on the terms of University's revenue for the option period.

XXVI. RELATIONSHIP WITH NCAA A. Warranty and Special Covenant: University hereby warrants, to the best of its knowledge, as follows: 1. University is authorized to operate a NCAA basketball team in and from the Premises; and 2.

B. NCAA and Conference Rules and Regulations: The parties recognize that University is subject to and solely responsible for compliance with the rules, regulations, policies, constitutions, and bylaws of the NCAA and any successor Division I Athletics Conferences which University may join.

The Director will not unreasonably refuse to modify or amend this Agreement. XXVII. IMPROVEMENTS, ADDITIONS, AND ALTERATIONS TO PREMISES A. Improvements By City: Upon execution of this Agreement, the City will paint and re-carpet Room #E14D1 of the Premises and any additional work agreed to by the parties under the procedures in this Section XXVII ("Initial Improvements"). After completion of the Initial Improvements, the City will thereafter maintain the space in a neat, clean, safe and sanitary condition and in a good state of repair. University will submit to the Director, for Approval, drawings and/or specifications for any and all Initial Improvements desired by University for the operation of University's business. No construction or installation of any Initial Improvement, addition, or alteration on the Premises shall be started for University until after the Director has Approved the same. B. No Representation or Liability Created by Approval: The Approval by the Director of University's drawings and specifications for improvements to the Premises shall not constitute an opinion or representation by City as to their compliance with any law or ordinance or their adequacy for other than the Seattle Center Department's own purposes; and such Approval shall not create or form the basis of any liability on the part of City or any of its officers, employees, or agents for any injury or damage resulting from any inadequacy or error therein or any failure to comply with applicable laws or ordinances. C. Cost Limits and Payment for Work: The parties will agree on the total cost and scope of the Initial Improvements including labor, materials, and City project management time. The City shall pay one half of the total cost of the Initial Improvements up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and University shall pay the remaining balance. The City will provide University with an itemized report and invoice detailing all expenses related to the Initial Improvements. D.

Improvements, Additions, and Alterations Become City Property: All Initial Improvements made to the Premises by or for University will become the property of City upon the expiration or termination of the Term, whichever is earlier, and will remain in, and be surrendered with the Premises, as a part thereof at that time without molestation, disturbance, or injury. University's trade fixtures and equipment will remain the property of University and may be removed by University upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof. F.

Suspension of Obligation to Pay Fees and Charges in Event of Unusability of Premises: In the event that fire or other casualty not occasioned by any act or omission of University destroys or damages the Premises so extensively as to render it unusable for NCAA Division I basketball purposes, and University has given notice thereof to City as provided in this Section, University's obligation to pay fees and charges, and provide additional consideration, for the use of such Premises will be suspended until the Premises are made usable for University's purposes; but in the event that only a portion of such Premises is destroyed or damaged and not to an extent that would prevent the playing and viewing of NCAA Division I basketball, then the fees and charges payable pursuant to this Agreement, will be prorated, and University will pay only an amount that is proportionate to the extent the Premises remain usable for the purposes intended. C. Termination of Agreement upon City's Determination Not to Rebuild KeyArena: If KeyArena is destroyed by fire or other casualty during the Term of this Agreement, or the facility is damaged so extensively as to render it unusable for the playing, exhibition, and viewing of a Home Game, the City reserves the right to determine not to rebuild or repair the facility, whether or not adequate insurance proceeds are available, the City may terminate this Agreement.

University will take reasonable precautions to prevent persons admitted to the Premises from damaging or defacing the same. If any portion of the Premises is damaged or defaced by the act or omission of University or any of its officers, employees, contractors or agents, including but not limited to University's failing to take reasonable precautions to prevent or avoid such damage or defacement, the City will repair or replace the damaged element of the Premises or arrange for its repair or replacement and University will pay the City such sum as is necessary to restore that damaged portion of the Premises to the same condition it had immediately prior to the damage or defacement, which sum will be paid as an Additional Expense. XXIX. FORCE MAJEURE Whenever a party's performance of any obligation under this Agreement is prevented by an event of Force Majeure, the performance of the affected obligation will be suspended, but only for so long as performance remains beyond the reasonable control of the obligated party.

XXX. CITY OBLIGATIONS IN EVENT OF REDEVELOPMENT The City reserves the right to redevelop, amend, alter, or reconstruct KeyArena during the Term of this Agreement. The City will keep University reasonably informed of the City's efforts to redevelop KeyArena or efforts to have an NBA or NHL team as a tenant at KeyArena. The parties acknowledge that it is not feasible to redevelop KeyArena without impact on University, and University expressly acknowledges that the Premises may be unavailable for a portion of the Term as a result of redevelopment. In the event of redevelopment, the City will use its best efforts to minimize negative financial and operational impacts of renovation and construction projects on University, subject to the City's other financial and policy considerations and will endeavor to provide University with one year's notice of redevelopment plans so that University may arrange for an alternative facility to play its basketball games. For any complete Season that KeyArena is unavailable to University due to redevelopment, the City will pay University, as University's sole remedy, the amount by which its net revenue from advertising, ticket sales, and novelty sales compared to the prior complete season at KeyArena, exceeds the amount of net revenue University receives in the season when KeyArena is not available. Any City payment of damages to University resulting from University's loss of revenue during redevelopment shall not exceed Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). XXXI.
