"Activity Period" is the time specified in the Licensing Agreement or any of its endorsements as the inclusive times for Licensee's use of a specified facility on a specified day, including any portion of the immediately following day into which the inclusive time extends, as designated in the Licensing Agreement. A license fee applies individually to each Activity Period. b. The hours between Activity Periods on two or more consecutive days shall be hours when neither the Licensee nor the Licensee's subcontractors will have the right to use the facility; provided, that during these non-Activity Period hours, Licensee shall have the right to leave equipment and decorations in the facility at no additional cost to the Licensee. c. A "Standard Activity Period" shall consist of the hours between 6:00am and 12:00 Midnight; provided, that for concerts in a major facility or for family shows in the KeyArena or Mercer Arena, these hours shall be between 4:00am of the day of the concert or family show and 4:00am of the day immediately following the concert or family show. d.

On any day of the Event, the Activity Period may include Move-In, the Event, an Activity or Activities, and/or Move-Out at no additional license fee. f. The Licensee's Activity Period may be for fewer hours than the Standard Activity Period. In the event a Licensee desires to expand its authorized Activity Period, the City shall authorize the additional hours by means of an endorsement to the Licensing Agreement but only if the City, subsequent to entering into the Agreement with the Licensee, has not agreed to make the same facility available for use by another Licensee for the desired period of use and has not scheduled the facility for operational maintenance work. Such additional use will be allowed without payment of an additional license fee if such hours are within the Standard Activity Period as defined in Section 2.c, but otherwise, only if the Licensee commits to pay the additional staffing charges. g. If a Major Facility, the Flag Pavilion or the Seattle Center Pavilion is not scheduled for use by another client, and it is deemed to be in the best interest of the City to do so, the Director, at 30 or fewer days prior to the date of an Event, may expand the Activity Period of such Event to include one day prior to the Event and/or one day following the Event at no additional license fee if the Licensee's use in such additional day(s) is solely for the purpose of Move-In before the Event or Move-Out following the Event. The Director may make such an extension at fourteen or fewer days prior to an Event in any facility other than a Major Facility, the Flag Pavilion or the Seattle Center Pavilion. 3.

(3) The Director, at such official's discretion, may accept a nonrefundable deposit on the execution of the Licensing Agreement in lieu of full payment at that time; Provided, that such Agreement shall require the Licensee to make installment payments by certain dates scheduled to ensure that: i) for any Nonprofit Performing Arts Event, the aggregate of the deposit plus any installment payments received by the City shall equal the full amount of the license fee on a date at least 30 days prior to the first date of the Event; or ii) for any Spectator Event, the aggregate of the deposit plus any installment payments received by the City shall equal the full amount of the minimum license fee on a date at least 30 days prior to the first date of the Event unless otherwise provided for in the Licensing Agreement but no later than the first day of the performance; or iii) for any Event that does not qualify as a Government Agency Event and does not qualify under i) or ii) herein, the aggregate of the deposit plus any installment payments received by the City shall equal the full amount of the license fee on a date at least 60 days prior to the first date of the Event. (4) The Director may establish payment due dates closer to the initial Activity Period of an Event start date based on the Licensee's past satisfaction of financial obligations to Seattle Center. (5) The Director, at such official's discretion, shall set the amount of the non-refundable deposit at no less than $200 and no more than 50% of the license fee. b. License fees shall be at the rates and footnoted conditions specified in the attached License Fee Schedules, subject to the exceptions described in Sections 9 and 10 hereof. 4.

Any portion of the contingency deposit not credited against fees and charges payable by the Licensee will be refunded. The amount of the contingency fee shall be determined by the Director based on equipment and service needs anticipated for the Event and on the Licensee's previous payment record. 5. CANCELLATION FEES AND TRANSFER CHARGES a. If a Spectator or Standard Event or Activity Period thereof scheduled in a Major Facility, the Flag Pavilion or the Seattle Center Pavilion is canceled six or fewer months (as used herein, calculated to the same date of the month that precedes the first date of the Event by six months) prior to the first date of such Event, a cancellation fee shall be imposed as follows: the fee for canceling the entire Event shall be 100% of the paid license fees; the fee for canceling one or more Activity Period but less than the entire Event shall be the aggregate portion of the paid license fee that equals the percentage of the license fee for the entire Event (including the canceled Activity Periods) that was charged for the canceled Activity Periods. If such cancellation occurs more than six months prior to the first date of the Event, the City shall credit to the Licensee that portion of the paid license fees that exceeds the aggregate amount paid as a non-refundable license fee deposit with respect to such Event or Activity Period(s), as applicable. b. If any Activity Period of a Spectator or Standard Event scheduled in the Opera House Rehearsal Hall or in any of the rooms of the Conference Center, Mercer Forum, or Northwest Rooms is canceled more than 60 days prior to the first date of such Event, the City shall credit to the Licensee that portion of the paid license fee that exceeds any amount paid as a non-refundable license fee deposit for that Activity period as determined pursuant to Section 5.e herein, but if such cancellation occurs closer to the first date of the Event, 100% of paid license fee shall become a cancellation fee and shall not be credited. c.

If a Government Agency Event or Activity Period thereof is canceled 6 or fewer months prior to the first date of such Event, the Licensee shall be subject to a cancellation fee of 10% of the license fee for that canceled Event or Activity Period; if such Event or Activity Period is canceled 60 or fewer days prior to the first date of that Event, the Licensee shall be subject to a cancellation fee of 50% of the license fee for the canceled Event or Activity Period; Provided, that the Director may waive this cancellation fee in circumstances where such cancellation was a consequence of condition(s) beyond the reasonable control of the Licensee. e. Any non-refundable License Fee deposit accepted by the Director pursuant to Subsection 3. a (iii) shall be forfeited by Licensee's canceling an Event. For each Activity Period of an Event that is canceled, that proportion of the deposit that is equal to the proportion of the total license fee that the license fee for that Activity Period represented, shall be forfeited; Provided, that the Director, at such official's discretion, may credit such deposit or a portion thereof, in circumstances where such cancellation was a consequence of condition(s) beyond the reasonable control of the Licensee; or if the canceled facility is subsequently licensed to a third party. f. Deposits or paid fees for a Spectator Event or a Nonprofit Performing Arts Event may be transferred for that same act to an alternate date or facility at no additional license fee, so long as the facility is available for use on such alternate date. In the case that a significant number of Seattle Center staff hours were expended to facilitate production of the Event for the first licensed date, the Director may assess an administrative charge for such transfer that is no more than 10% of the original license fee. g. For an Event that does not qualify as a Spectator Event or a Nonprofit Performing Arts Event, deposits or paid fees for such Event are transferable for the same Event to an alternate date or facility provided such date and facility are available for use and such alternate date is more than 10 days from the date on which the request to change such date is made, and fewer than 30 days from the original date of the Event. Such transfer shall be subject to a service fee equal to 10% of the license fee for the originally licensed facility and date. 6. INCLUDED SERVICES Post-Activity related cleaning shall be required between each of two or more performances on a single day if it is anticipated by the Director that event debris will be sufficient to detract from the standard of appearance sought by Seattle Center for its facilities when open to the public or when such debris is considered a potential safety hazard to invitees to the facility. Post-Activity at an additional charge may be requested by the Licensee in connection with Activities for which the Director does not require such cleaning.
