Section 3.3 Ad Valorem Taxes,Exemptions, and Payments in Lieu of Ad Valorem
Taxes.
(a) Landlord and Tenant intend that the Land, the Arena Complex, and the leasehold
interest of Tenant hereunder(for so long as the Arena Complex is owned by the City and is used
as a venue project under the Act as enacted on the Effective Date), presently are and shall
continue to be exempt from ad valorem taxes as exempt properties under the applicable
provisions of the Texas Constitution, the Texas Tax Code, the Act, and other Applicable Laws of
the State of Texas. Tenant is authorized to assert, insist upon, continue, and restate this joint
intent in any agency, forum, or court having jurisdiction and at which the question may arise or
be presented, and Landlord, at the request of Tenant and at Tenant's sole expense in accordance
with Section 3.3(g). shall jointly take and pursue such lawful actions with Tenant, including, if
necessary,judicial actions, as may be available and appropriate, to protect and defend the Arena
Complex and the leasehold interest of Tenant therein against the levy, assessment or collection
of ad valorem taxes by any governmental agency asserting the power to levy, assess, and collect
such taxes under currently Applicable Law. In the event of any proposed or actual change in the
Texas Constitution, the Texas Tax Code, the Act, and other Applicable Laws of the State of
Texas, which threatens to alter the ad valorem tax status of the Arena Complex, Landlord shall
reasonably cooperate with Tenant (which cooperation may include joining in any legal
proceedings deemed appropriate by Tenant) to maintain all possible ad valorem tax exemptions
available to the Arena Complex.
6
(b) If, pursuant to the authority granted to Tenant under this Lease, Tenant elects,
once the Arena Complex is built, to alter, add to, or modify the uses of any portion of the Arena
Complex, it is Landlord's and Tenant's intent that the altered, additional, or modified uses of the
Arena Complex shall also constitute "exempt properties" under Applicable Law so long as such
altered and modified uses are of types described in the Act, and shall be exempt from ad valorem
taxation in any agency, forum, or court and in accordance with any procedures for claiming such
exemptions as are permitted by Applicable Law, including the Tarrant Central Appraisal District
and the subsequent administrative and judicial procedures that are currently or in the future
permitted by the Texas Tax Code. If the Tenant claims any such exemptions in any such request
or proceeding, then, at Tenant's sole expense in accordance with Section 3.3(g), the Landlord
shall provide such verifications and certifications showing its ownership of the fee title to the
Arena Complex and the improvements thereon and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in such
contest as may be reasonably requested by Tenant. If, after making any application to any agency
or body having jurisdiction, any administrative determination is entered that is adverse to the
Tenant's claimed exemption, such determination may be contested by the Tenant in any proper
court or forum in any manner provided by law so long as Tenant takes all action necessary or, in
the reasonable opinion of Landlord, desirable to protect the Arena Complex, or any part thereof,
from foreclosure of any liens for taxes. In the event of a failure of such contest, and if the
planned improvements are finally found and determined not to be exempt and to be subject to ad
valorem taxation, Tenant shall pay such taxes before the same become delinquent.
(c) Landlord covenants and agrees that, during the Term of this Lease and any
renewals or extensions thereof, and prior to the termination of this Lease, it will at all times own
and hold title to the Arena Complex, as encumbered by this Lease, for the benefit of and on
behalf of the Landlord in accordance with the Act, and further covenants and agrees that it will
not sell, transfer or otherwise convey all or any portion of the Arena Complex to any person or
entity, other than to a non-profit instrumentality created for and as the instrumentality of the
Landlord (which sale must be made expressly subject to this Lease), without the prior written
consent of Tenant. Landlord will give Tenant at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of any
proposed transfer of all or any portion of the Arena Complex. If any such transfer threatens to
result or actually results in the imposition of any ad valorem tax liability against the Arena
Complex or Tenant, (i) Landlord or Landlord's transferee shall-be liable for any ad valorem tax
liability against the Arena Complex or Tenant, (ii) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant if Tenant
incurs any expense related to such tax liability, and (iii) Tenant shall have the right to both abate
Rental payments to the extent of any such tax liability and/or obtain an injunction prohibiting
any such transfer.
(d) So long as and to the extent that the Arena Complex is used for purposes
authorized by the Act, Landlord, at the request of Tenant and at Tenant's sole expense and in
accordance with Section 3.3(g), shall jointly take and pursue such lawful actions with Tenant,
including if necessary, judicial actions, as may be available and appropriate, to protect and
defend the title of Landlord and the leasehold interest of Tenant in and to the Arena Complex,
against the levy, assessment or collection of ad valorem taxes by any governmental body,
agency, or political subdivision having the power to levy such taxes. Landlord further agrees not
to take any action that may cause the levy, assessment or collection of any such ad valorem
taxes. If, for any reason, it should be finally determined that the interests of Landlord or Tenant
7
in and to the Arena Complex and/or any of its properties and facilities as they are configured and
used on the Commencement Date for purposes authorized by the Act are no longer exempt from
taxation by reason of a change of law or otherwise, then Tenant shall pay such taxes before they
become delinquent, subject to Tenant's right of contest as provided in this Lease, and the
aggregate amount of such taxes owing and paid to the City as a governmental taxing entity, but
not to other taxing jurisdictions, throughout the Term of this Lease shall be applied as a credit
against the Rentals due under this Lease pursuant to the terms hereof and/or Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant any expense related to the amount of such taxes owing and paid to the City.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all amounts, if any,
paid by Tenant to Landlord (but not to other taxing jurisdictions) for (i) any franchise tax,
revenue tax, income tax or profit tax imposed by Landlord, if any, or (ii) any succession,
transfer, stamp, gift or other tax, if any, which may be imposed and levied against Tenant upon
or with respect to any transfer of Landlord's interest in the Arena Complex, or (iii) any sale,
excise or use taxes, if any, that are a charge against the Tenant that are imposed on or with
respect to the Rentals paid to Landlord, or any taxes similar to any of the above described taxes
that are paid as a charge against the Tenant, shall also be applied as a credit against the Rentals
due under this Lease pursuant to the terms hereof and/or Landlord shall reimburse Tenant any
expense related to the amount of such taxes owing and paid to the City.
(f) Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant (or one of its affiliates) and the Fort Worth
Independent School District have entered into (or will enter into) a written agreement whereby
Tenant (or one of its affiliates) will make certain regular payments to the Fort Worth
Independent School District in lieu of paying ad valorem taxes to said district. Tenant shall
provide a copy of such written agreement to Landlord upon request.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Landlord undertakes any action (i)
requested by Tenant under this Section 3.3 or (ii) that is to be performed at Tenant's cost or
expense as provided for in this Lease, then Tenant shall pay all third-party costs, including
outside attorney fees and expenses, reasonably incurred by Landlord, or, within thirty (30) days
after written demand therefor, reimburse such costs to Landlord; provided, that Landlord has
notified Tenant in writing of the anticipated amount of such costs prior to incurring any costs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for its own internal administrative
and legal expenses associated therewith.
Section 3.4 Standing.
If Tenant determines that Tenant lacks standing to contest any Impositions or to obtain an
extended payment period, Landlord, at Tenant's sole expense in accordance with Section 3.3(g).
agrees to join in such contest or otherwise, if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
provide Tenant with sufficient authority to obtain such standing.
Section 3.5 Utilities.
8
From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all bills for
utilities furnished to the Arena Complex as leasehold operating expenses of the Arena Complex,
including, but not limited to, bills for water, electricity, gas, telephone, storm drainage, garbage,
and sewer. Throughout the Term of the Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably interrupt the
provision of any utility services (within Landlord's control) to the Arena Complex. If a planned
temporary interruption of any utility services to the Arena Complex is deemed necessary or
appropriate by Landlord for reasons of public health and safety, Landlord shall provide
reasonable prior written notice of such interruption to Tenant and shall reasonably cooperate
with Tenant to minimize any disturbance to Tenant's use of the Arena Complex. To the extent
within Landlord's control, Landlord will not allow Tenant to be charged utility rates greater than
those charged to other businesses of comparable classification located in the City and Tenant
shall be eligible to take advantage of any of Landlord's negotiated utility rates. Tenant will have
reasonable discretion as to the proper amount of usage of the various utilities described above
and will have sole discretion regarding the choice of utility providers.
ARTICLE 4
Arena Complex Development
Section 4.1 Streets.
If Tenant requests that any streets or alleys constituting a portion of the Land be
permanently closed, Landlord will promptly assist Tenant in the administerial acts associated
with the processing of such requests, so as not to unreasonably delay, prevent or otherwise
hinder the development or operations of the Arena Complex, subject to all necessary approvals
by Plan Commission and City Council. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Landlord's
cooperation may include, without limitation, executing petitions, applications and other
documents to be submitted to governing bodies, approving bodies, and other Governmental
Authorities, and, when within the City's administrative authority, granting written approvals,
permits or certificates pursuant to Tenant's request.
Section 4.2 Improvement Rights, Rights to Alter and Demolish; Intellectual Property;
Plans and Specifications.
(a) Tenant shall, after the Effective Date, have the right, at its option and in its sole
discretion, to develop portions of the Land, and to erect buildings and other improvements and
expansions thereon, and to alter, add to, reconstruct, remodel or demolish as often as and
whenever Tenant deems proper or desirable, and to devote the same for any lawful uses and
purposes, subject to (i) the written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, (ii) applicable ordinances, rules, and regulations of the City (as same may have been
modified or stayed by virtue of any variances granted with respect to the Arena Complex in
accordance with Applicable Law), (iii) the Act, and (iv) the terms and provisions hereof, and as
long as such development, demolition, reconstruction and remodeling does not (I) materially
interfere with the operation of the Arena Facility for its intended primary purpose pursuant to
this Lease or (II) adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Arena Complex Bonds.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant's right to demolish as set forth above
shall be applicable only to buildings, improvements or expansions constructed after the Arena

Complex is constructed in accordance with the Master Agreement, and shall not be applicable to
the Arena Complex as initially constructed. Title to all buildings and permanent improvements
constructed on the Land, and fixtures attached thereto, shall immediately vest in Landlord and
shall continue to reside with Landlord throughout the Term of this Lease, subject to the below
and all of Tenant's rights hereunder. If Tenant (or any affiliate thereof or any licensee or
subtenant of Tenant) desires to physically attach any fixture or other item to the Arena Complex
which is not funded with public funds and is not essential for the reasonable operation of the
Arena Facility as a venue project in accordance with the Act ("Private Fixture"), Tenant shall
submit a written request to Landlord prior to the attachment or installation thereof. Tenant's
request shall include proof satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, that the
Private Fixture is not funded with public funds. Upon approval by Landlord, the Private Fixture
shall be included in the Schedule of Private Fixtures, referenced below, which may be amended
by the parties from time-to-time. Tenant and Landlord agree to the initial Schedule of Private
Fixtures, attached hereto and made a part of this Lease for all purposes. Title to Private Fixtures
shall not vest in Landlord. For purposes of illustration, and not limitation, arena light fixtures,
spectator seats, toilets and sinks, are essential items, while video monitors, rodeo equipment,
horse equipment and Sponsor Signs are Private Fixtures. Private Fixtures may be removed at the
expiration or termination of this Lease in accordance with Section 1.5(b).
(b) Arena Group shall own all intellectual property rights in, and relating to, the
Arena Complex, whether now in existence or created in the future subject to the provisions of the
Master Agreement.
(c) After the Commencement Date, Landlord and Arena Group shall jointly own all
the Plans; provided, however, that neither party shall use any of such Plans for commercial
purposes or purposes unrelated to the Arena Complex. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arena
Group shall, subject to the Act, have exclusive rights and benefits to licensing and granting rights
in the Plans as contemplated in the Master Agreement.
Section 4.3 Easements and Dedications.
Easements and Dedications may be granted or dedicated over or within portions of the
Arena Complex (or any property owned by Landlord), by plat, replat, grant, deed or other
appropriate instrument by Landlord as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary for the
development, construction or operation of the Arena Complex, Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold, condition or delay its grant or dedication of Easements and Dedications, subject to all
necessary approvals by Landlord's governing body. Provided, however, that it shall not be
considered unreasonable of Landlord to withhold the grant or dedication of Easements and
Dedications if such Easements and Dedications (a) materially and adversely interfere with other
dedicated purposes of such property, (b) could result in structural impairment of vertical
improvements on or near the Arena Complex, (c) would result in continuous interference with
operations at or near the Arena Complex, or (d) are otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law. In
no event shall Landlord grant any Easements and Dedications within the boundaries of the Arena
Complex without the prior written consent of Tenant, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed (provided, that it shall not be considered unreasonable of Tenant to
withhold consent to any such Easements and Dedications which may, in the reasonable
10
estimation of Tenant, affect, disrupt or interfere with the operations or economics of the Arena
Facility).
Section 4.4 Zoning and Other Governmental Approvals.
(a) If Tenant deems it necessary or appropriate to obtain use approvals, zoning
approvals, site plan approvals, building permits, temporary or permanent certificates of
occupancy, elevator permits, foodservice permits, liquor licenses, permits for any signs on or
near the Arena Complex, or any other permit from the City, or any other Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over the Land or any portion thereof or interest therein, Landlord
agrees, from time to time, on request of Tenant, to reasonably assist Tenant solely in its capacity
as the owner of the fee title or other real property rights and not in its capacity as the owning
Governing Authority in obtaining such governmental approvals, as may be appropriate to
facilitate the use of the Arena Complex as contemplated and permitted hereunder, and to
cooperate in good faith with Tenant in all such efforts. The City's cooperation may include,
without limitation, applications and other documents to be submitted to Governmental
Authorities, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and as approved by the governing body
or board or commission with review authority.
(b) With respect to advertising placed within the boundaries of the Arena Complex,
including any marquee, pylon, monument or directional signs, City and Tenant shall reasonably
cooperate to negotiate an agreement or plan to maximize signage and signage revenue to Tenant,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. In addition, Landlord acknowledges that it may be
desirable and appropriate for additional signage (including advertising and directional signage)
for the Arena Complex to be placed outside the boundaries of the Arena Complex, such as on
certain highways, roadways and the like, near the Arena Complex, and the City agrees to
negotiate an agreement or plan to provide or assist in obtaining solely in its capacity as the owner
of the fee title or other real property rights and not in its capacity as the owning Governing
Authority all permits and authorizations required by applicable rules, regulations and ordinances
for all such signage as may be reasonably requested by Tenant, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law.
(c) Tenant shall have discretion to name or re-name, from time to time, the streets
and roadways constituting a portion of the Arena Complex,to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law and as approved by the governing body. In addition, Landlord acknowledges that it may be
desirable and appropriate for streets and roadways outside of, but adjacent to, the Arena
Complex, to be named or re-named, from time to time, with names selected by Tenant and
approved by the City and governing body to identify, locate or otherwise promote the Arena
Complex or its components. Landlord agrees, from time to time, upon request of Tenant , to
provide requests for approval from the governing body required by applicable rules, regulations
and ordinances for all such names (and signage therefore) as may be reasonably requested by
Tenant, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Tenant shall pay the cost for producing and
installing any street sign requested by Tenant.
Section 4.5 Additional Land Acquisitions.
11
The City agrees to acquire additional parcels of real property to become part of the Land,
as set forth and identified in Section 1.4 hereof. Concurrently with Landlord's acquisition of any
additional tracts of real property that become a part of the Land, Landlord and Tenant shall
execute amendments to this Lease, each in form and content mutually and reasonably
satisfactory to each of Landlord and Tenant, describing the additional tracts and all of the Land
with particularity.
ARTICLE 5
Use of Premises
Section 5.1 Use.
(a) The Landlord leases the Arena Complex to the Tenant and Tenant leases same
from Landlord effective on the Effective Date, and Tenant shall receive possession of the Arena
Complex and have the responsibilities and obligations with respect thereto from and after the
Effective Date as set forth in and subject to the provisions of Sections 1.2 and 1_4 of this Lease,
as well as under and pursuant to this Section.
(b) From and after the Commencement Date and throughout the remainder of the
Term, and during any Extension Period, Tenant (X) shall use the Arena Complex for the
purposes of (i) agricultural, sports, school, community, family, entertainment, exhibition,
banquet and similar events, and (ii) operating facilities for other uses in support of such events
(which uses may be selected by Tenant in its sole discretion, from time to time, including,
without limitation: offices for arena operations; food service establishments; retail
establishments; parking structures and other public facilities), and (Y) may also use the Arena
Complex for(i) hosting indoor and outdoor events (which events shall be determined by Tenant
in its sole discretion, but subject to Applicable Law), and (ii) any other lawful purposes that are
not prohibited by the Act (as it exists on the date hereof). In connection with such uses, Tenant
may authorize related activities by spectators of sports and entertainment events at the Arena
Complex, such as environmentally safe activities in the parking areas of the Arena Complex that
do not violate the universally applicable codes and ordinances of the City or other Applicable
Law (whether commonly referred to as "tailgating" or otherwise). Throughout the Term, Tenant
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the use of the Arena Facility; provided,
however, Landlord shall have no authority to require that the Arena Complex be used to host any
particular event or type of event or be used for any purpose which is not economically viable, as
determined by Tenant in its reasonable discretion. Landlord acknowledges that it will be
commercially reasonable for Tenant to limit use of the Arena Complex based on safety or
security concerns, the maintenance requirements of the Arena Complex, scheduling conflicts
with other events to be held at the Arena Complex, scheduling conflicts with other events to be
held nearby or in the region, the anticipated profitability (or lack of profitability) of hosting any
particular event, and other factors or circumstances which may be relevant to the event industry
from time to time.
(c) Tenant shall have the further right to sublease the Arena Complex (or any portion
thereof) or grant licenses to use the Arena Complex (or any portion thereof) to third parties in
furtherance of the purposes listed in subsection (c) of this Section, and to grant licenses to
12
individuals to use of seats and suites in the Arena Facility for specific events. Upon the request
of Tenant and at Tenant's sole expense in accordance with Section 3.3(g), and to the extent not
legally prohibited, Landlord, from time to time, shall provide a written certification to Tenant, a
Subtenant or a Leasehold Mortgagee that a particular or contemplated use of the Arena Complex,
or any portion thereof, is a permitted use under this Lease. In no event,however, shall Tenant be
required to obtain any prior consent from Landlord before engaging (or allowing any Subtenant
to engage) in any particular use of the Arena Complex of a type described in subsection (c) of
this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, use of any portion of the Arena
Complex or other adjacent property for the parking of motor vehicles, by or through the Tenant
shall be subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Parking Agreement,
including, but not limited to, the structuring of the calculation and collection of applicable
parking taxes.
Section 5.2 Compliance with Laws; Bonds.
(a) Tenant agrees not to use the Arena Complex or any components of the Arena
Complex for any use or purpose in violation of any valid Applicable Law of the United States,
the State of Texas,the City, or other lawful Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the
Arena Complex. Landlord agrees that, so long as neither Landlord nor any portion of the Arena
Complex will be subjected to any liability, loss, penalty or forfeiture, Tenant may at its sole cost
and expense in good faith contest the alleged violation or the validity, enforceability or
applicability of any such Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Landlord
shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in order to attempt to structure any proposed law or
ordinance in a manner that would minimize its effect on the use of the Arena Complex.
(b) Tenant agrees not to use the Arena Complex or any components of the Arena
Complex in a way that adversely affects the tax-exempt status of the Arena Complex Bonds or
otherwise conflict with official City disclosures made in connection with the issuance of the
Arena Complex Bonds.
Section 5.3 Net Lease, Maintenance.
(a) As provided in Section 13.14 hereof, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this
Lease is a "net lease" and that Tenant takes the Arena Complex "as is and where is," and in the
condition in which found, and that, except as set forth in Section 12.1 hereof, the Landlord
makes no warranty of any nature or kind with respect to the Arena Complex regarding its
condition or its usefulness for any purpose or otherwise.
(b) From and after the Commencement Date, the Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, continuously maintain and keep all permanent improvements or buildings that from
time to time may be a part of the Arena Complex in a reasonably good state of repair, reasonable
wear and tear excepted.
13
(c) Upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination by Landlord pursuant to
Section 9.4(c), Tenant shall deliver the Arena Complex and all components of the Arena
Complex then situated thereon in a reasonably good state of repair, reasonable wear and tear,
obsolescence, acts of God and loss by casualty excepted, and free of any mechanic's,
materialman's, or other lien that first arose as a result of Tenant's, or an affiliate of Tenant's,
failure to pay a monetary obligation when due. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall
additionally deliver to Landlord all building systems training, operation and maintenance
manuals for the Arena Complex that are in Tenant's possession or control and that have not
theretofore been furnished to Landlord.
(d) With regard to casualties damaging any portion of the Arena Complex, Tenant
will, within a reasonably practical time after the date of a casualty (taking into consideration
factors that could reasonably be expected to affect the timing of a repair or reconstruction
project, including, without limitation, the extent of the casualty, the availability of insurance
proceeds, and the availability of governmental permits), commence the work of repair,
reconstruction or replacement of the damaged improvements (or any other improvement deemed
appropriate by Tenant, if in compliance with the requirements hereof). Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, if Tenant determines that either (X) the Arena Facility or any material
Related Infrastructure shall be damaged or destroyed to an extent greater than fifty percent(50%)
of the then-replacement value of the Arena Facility or material Related Infrastructure, or to an
extent such that the Arena Facility cannot economically and feasibly be used by Tenant, or(Y) at
any time during any Extension Period(if applicable) or during the final thirty-six (36)months of
the Thirty-Year Period, the Arena Facility, or any improvements necessary for the operation
thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed to an extent greater than twenty-five percent(251/0) of the
then-replacement value of the Arena Facility or material Related Infrastructure,then Tenant shall
have the option, within six (6) months from the date of such casualty event, to terminate this
Lease by giving written notice of such termination to Landlord within such six (6) month period
and this Lease shall terminate as of the termination date specified in such notice to Landlord,
which shall not be less than thirty(30) days after the date of such notice. Tenant's election to not
terminate the Lease or Tenant's failure to timely deliver to Landlord notice of its election to
terminate the Lease, time being of the essence, shall obligate Tenant to repair or reconstruct the
damaged improvements in accordance with this Section 5.3(d). It is provided, however, if any of
the Obligations have not been paid in full at the time Tenant terminates this Lease under this
Section 5.3(d), Tenant shall be required to pay the applicable Obligations Repayment Costs.
Upon the termination of this Lease as provided in this Section 5.3(d), Tenant shall pay all Rental
and other sums payable by Tenant hereunder as justly apportioned to such date of termination. If
Tenant is obligated to, or elects to, repair or reconstruct the improvements following the
occurrence of a casualty, Tenant may, at its sole discretion, repair or reconstruct the
improvements to a condition or standard that is different than, or less than, the condition and
standard of the Arena Complex as originally constructed. For purposes of illustrating (but not
limiting) the preceding sentence, the Arena Facility may be repaired or reconstructed to a
condition or standard that is smaller, accommodates fewer spectators, uses different building
materials, or features less-technologically advanced amenities, than the Arena Facility as
originally constructed. If Tenant is obligated to, or elects to, repair or reconstruct the
improvements following the occurrence of a casualty but, during the period from the casualty
14
until the repair of the improvements, the Arena Facility is in Untenantable Condition, Tenant
may elect to extend the Term of the Lease for a period of time (the "Casualty Extension Period")
equal to the Untenantable Period. Unless Tenant has otherwise terminated this Lease in
accordance with this Section 5.3(d), Tenant shall continue to pay all Rental due during any such
Untenantable Period, as and when the same is due and payable hereunder; and the amount of
Rental due during the Casualty Extension Period shall then be equal to the Extension Period Rent
which would have otherwise been due at such time (regardless of whether the Untenantable
Period occurred during the Thirty Year Period or an Extension Period), but the amount of any
such Rental payable by Tenant during such a Casualty Extension Period shall be credited and
reduced by the amount of Rental paid by Tenant during the Untenantable Period preceding such
Casualty Extension Period. Tenant's election to enter into the Casualty Extension Period shall
not be deemed as an exercise of an Extension Option and shall not preclude Tenant from later
exercising any Extension Option. Upon Tenant's election to enter into the Casualty Extension
Period, Tenant and Landlord shall execute an amendment to this Lease evidencing the
commencement date,termination date, and Rental due during the Casualty Extension Period.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall, at its sole cost
and expense, continuously maintain,reconstruct or replace and keep all Public Art that from time
to time may be a part of the Arena Complex in a reasonably good state of repair, and with regard
to casualties damaging any or all portions of Public Art, Tenant shall have no obligation to
repair,reconstruct or replace such damaged Public Art.
Section 5.4 Operational Standards for Tenant.
(a) The Arena Complex shall be operated in a reasonable and prudent businesslike
manner. Tenant shall, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, have full control of the
operation and management of all components of the Arena Complex.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such control by Tenant shall
include and extend to (i) the use of the Arena Complex for all purposes incident thereto, (ii) the
charges to be made for and the terms of admittance to the various components of the Arena
Complex, or the leasing of commercial space therein, including signage, for privileges for
entertainment and amusement, and for parking, food, beverages and other concessions, (iii)
employee relations and policies, (iv) all phases of promotion and publicity with respect to the
Arena Complex, (v) the right to use, grant access to and control the parking areas and parking
facilities from time to time located on the Arena Complex, including the right to limit its use to
persons attending public events at the Arena Facility, office tenants, officers, employees, agents,
contractors, suppliers, service providers, shippers, and other business guests of the Arena
Complex.
(c) Tenant shall have the full right to grant licenses, concessions, use and occupancy
agreements, subleases, management agreements, operating agreements and any and all other
agreements of any nature relating to the Arena Complex or any component thereof on such terms
as Tenant deems appropriate, for periods not extending beyond the Term, for all events
performed therein.
15
Section 5.5 Operating Revenues.
Subject to its subleases and/or other agreements (including without limitation license
and/or concession agreements) with third parties, Tenant shall have the full right to collect and
own as Tenant's exclusive property all revenues, profits, royalties, payments of every kind and
rentals derived from, produced within or associated with the Arena Complex or any component
thereof, including, without limitation, all sublease and other rental or license fees, admission
ticket revenue, all parking fees, all revenues derived from the sale of programs, novelties and
concessions, all sponsorship revenues and facility naming revenues, all radio, television,
cablecast, pay television and any other broadcasting revenues of any type whatsoever,
irrespective of method of transmission or whether derived from the sale of broadcasting rights,
broadcast advertising or other sources of revenue relating to broadcasting during the Term, and
all advertising and signage revenues of any type whatsoever, including but not limited to
revenues from the sale of advertising and signage on scoreboards and in all other places on the
Arena Complex.
Section 5.6 Excess Operating Revenues.
Tenant shall retain any and all operating surpluses resulting from the operation of the
Arena Complex and shall use the surpluses to fund (i) an operating reserve fund; (ii) an Arena
Complex capital maintenance fund; (iii) an Arena Complex capital improvement fund; (iv)
advance payments on outstanding Incremental Funding, if any; and (v) payments, advance or
otherwise, of any third party financing capital, if any. Deposits by Tenant into any of the funds
may be invested in any manner in Tenant's sole discretion. Funds in the Arena Complex capital
improvement fund may be used in the Tenant's sole discretion for capital improvements or
maintenance to the adjacent Will Rogers Memorial Center complex, subject to the review and
approval of Landlord, or to the Arena Group Surface Parking. Upon termination or non-renewal
of this Lease, any funds remaining in the operating reserve fund shall accrue to the City therefore
lessening the burden on the City and shall be used solely for the purpose of Arena Complex
operations. Upon termination or non-renewal of this Lease, any funds remaining in the capital
maintenance fund shall accrue to the City therefore lessening the burden on the City and shall be
used solely for the purpose of Arena Complex capital maintenance. Upon termination or non-
renewal of this Lease, any funds 'remaining in the capital improvement fund shall be used first to
fund any outstanding principal and interest on any Incremental Funding; funds remaining in the
capital improvement fund after provision has been made for all such outstanding Incremental
Funding shall accrue to Tenant and may be used in Tenant's sole discretion for any lawful
purpose related to the Tenant's charter.
Section 5.7 Marketing Rights.
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant's right to control, operate and
manage the Arena Complex shall include, without limitation, the marketing rights consistent
with the Master Agreement.
Section 5.8 Security/Traffic Management, Reimbursement of Costs.
16
(a) Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with each other to establish a
security and traffic management staffing matrix prior to the opening of the Arena Facility,
including planning deadlines, based on the size and type of event, and will continue to cooperate
on any necessary changes to the staffing matrix throughout the term of the Lease. The matrix
shall serve as a general guide that will be reasonably applied to the needs of specific events, in
coordination with the Will Rogers Memorial Center (WRMC) police liaison to ensure the safety
of event patrons and to minimize the impact on on-duty police personnel. For each event, Tenant
and the WRMC police liaison shall cooperate to ensure coordination of multiple simultaneous
events on the WRMC campus. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and in order to
facilitate Tenant's use of the Arena Complex, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense as an
ongoing operating expense, shall hire appropriate resources for security and traffic control for
Arena Complex events. Rates, including holiday provisions and minimum hours, shall be
consistent with those established for other events on the WRMC campus. In the event that there
are multiple simultaneous events on the WRMC campus that require traffic control, the event
holders may share resources and the cost in an equitable manner as agreed upon during the
coordination requirement noted above.
(b) Tenant shall use off-duty Fort Worth peace officers for traffic control. Tenant
may use a combination of off-duty Fort Worth peace officers and private resources for internal
security so long as it is reasonably consistent with the agreed upon staffing matrix. All off-duty
Fort Worth peace officers shall be paid directly by Tenant. Tenant may use off-duty peace
officers from other jurisdictions for security or traffic control with the approval of the WRMC
police liaison so long as they will be under the supervision of an off-duty Fort Worth police
supervisor. If the City cannot or will not provide Fort Worth peace officers for an event at the
Arena Complex, Tenant may, at its option and in its sole discretion,proceed with the event.
(c) If additional resources outside of normal traffic and security planning are
requested by Tenant, such as a fire watch for fireworks, Tenant agrees to reimburse the City for
its actual costs of providing police, fire, security, and other municipal services in connection with
events conducted at the Arena Complex (other than those services that the City routinely and
generally provides to other commercial establishments in the City). Tenant shall use its
reasonable judgment to determine, reasonably in advance of any events at the Arena Complex,
the police, fire and other municipal services staffing required for such event, and the amount of
any such costs for which Tenant will be responsible before such costs are incurred. The costs
charged to Tenant for such services shall be at the lowest rates then generally made available by
the City for such services. If the aforementioned expenses are eligible for reimbursement from
any other funding source, such other funds will be credited to the expenses of the Tenant.
(d) Tenant may close, redirect the traffic flow of, or otherwise restrict access to,
streets to and around the Arena Facility on event days, to the extent permitted by the City's
Department of Public Events and under the supervision and direction of such department.
Landlord shall cause its Department of Public Events to reasonably cooperate with the Tenant
regarding the designation and manner of such street closure and restrictions; provided, that
Tenant shall, in addition to any costs required to be paid by Tenant under Section 5.8(b) above,
be responsible for the payment of the City's customary cost of setting any barricades in
connection with such street closures or traffic controls.
17
(e) Hazardous Materials.
Tenant shall not, and shall not allow any of Tenant's contractors, representatives, invitees,
subtenants, or licensees to use, generate, store, or dispose of, or permit the use, generation,
storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Arena Complex except in a manner
and quantity necessary for the ordinary performance of Tenant's business, and then in
compliance with all Applicable Laws regarding Hazardous Materials. Tenant (i) shall furnish or
cause to be furnished to Landlord copies of any soils and other geotechnical reports that Tenant
may obtain relating to the Land, promptly after receipt thereof, and (ii) shall use good faith
efforts to have the entities that rendered such reports include the City as an additional addressee
and/or cause such reports to contain a statement that expressly permits the City to be able to rely
on each such report. If Tenant breaches its obligations under this Section 5.8(e), Landlord may,
following reasonable advance notice in writing to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency)
and the continuation of such breach following such notice period, take any and all action
reasonably appropriate to remedy the same, including taking all appropriate action to clean up or
remediate any contamination resulting from Tenant's use, generation, storage or disposal of
Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, of and from
any and all liabilities, assessments, suits, damages, costs and expenses, attorney's fees and
judgments ("Liabilities") related to or arising out of(a) the breach of any of the agreements of
Tenant under this Section 5.8(e), or (b) Tenant or Tenant's contractors, representatives, invitees,
subtenants, or licensees use, generation, storage, handling, installation, treatment or disposal of
Hazardous Materials on the Arena Complex, including any cleanup, remedial, removal, or
restoration work required by the Applicable Laws, excluding any Liabilities arising out of pre-
existing conditions on the Land or Landlord's negligence, or misconduct. Such indemnification
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
In no event shall Tenant be required to take any remedial action with respect to
Hazardous Materials which were introduced to the Arena Complex prior to Landlord's
acquisition of such parcel (and in no event before the Effective Date), unless Landlord and/or
Tenant is otherwise mandated by Applicable Law. Upon the termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall be permitted to surrender the Arena Complex to Landlord subject to any physical
conditions which were present on each parcel of Land prior to Landlord's acquisition of such
parcel (and in any event before the Effective Date), unless otherwise required to be removed, by
Applicable Law, during the Term.
ARTICLE 6

Obligations Repayment Costs. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall obtain a quote
for insurance coverage in similar amounts and form as required of Tenant under this Section 6.2.
Landlord shall pay to Tenant on an annual basis an amount reimbursing Tenant for carrying the
property insurance policy that is the lesser of(i) Landlord's quote, and (ii) Tenant's actual cost

written notice to Landlord before cancellation and certificates of insurance shall be delivered
annually to Landlord and the form and substance thereof shall be subject to the approval of
Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Landlord
agrees that such policies may provide for such deductibles as Tenant determines to be
commercially reasonable. If any blanket general insurance policy of Tenant complies with the
terms of these provisions, the naming of Landlord therein as an additional insured shall be
19
deemed compliance with the requirements for the insurance coverage provided in any such
blanket policy.
Section 6.6 Named Insureds;Adjustment of Losses.
Landlord shall be named as an additional insured under any of such property insurance
policies required under Section 6.2 hereof, and loss payee as its interest may appear on such
property policies. At the request of Tenant at any time during the Term, any Leasehold

required under Section 6.2 hereof, as its interest may appear. Any loss under any such property
insurance policy required under Section 6.2 hereof shall be made payable to an "Insurance
Trustee" for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, to the end that the Insurance Trustee shall be
entitled to collect all money due under such insurance policies payable in the event of and by
reason of the loss of or damage to the Arena Complex, to be applied pursuant to Section 6.7
below. Any accumulation of interest on the insurance proceeds collected by the Insurance
Trustee shall be added to, and become a part of, the trust fund being held by the Insurance
Trustee for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant. The adjustment of losses with the insurer shall be
made by the Insurance Trustee only after securing the approval of Landlord and Tenant, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

disbursed to the Insurance Trustee to the extent of and for application to the payment of the
Obligations Repayment Costs.

and to hold Landlord harmless from any and all liabilities, damages, claims or demands for
property damage or loss and/or bodily injury, including death, to any person or persons, arising
out of or in connection with the physical condition of the Arena Complex during the Term;
except to the extent any such liabilities, damages, claims or demands are caused by the
negligence or willful acts of Landlord or any of Landlord's officers, agents, representatives or
20
employees. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to create any obligations or liabilities
of Landlord which do not already exist as a matter of law or are not expressly set forth herein.
Section 6.9 Waiver of Subrogation for Property Insurance Claims.
Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each

thereunder, provided that (a) such Nondisturbance Agreement shall not cover any period beyond
the Term, and (b) simultaneously with the execution of the Nondisturbance Agreement, the
Subtenant, at the request of Landlord, shall agree in writing that, in the event of any termination
of this Lease prior to the expiration of its Term, the Subtenant shall be deemed attorned to

Tenant or Arena Group shall from time to time and at any time have the right to grant a
Leasehold Mortgage, and in such event, upon Tenant's written request to Landlord, Landlord
will execute and deliver a reasonable estoppel certificate and recognition agreement, each
addressed to the Leasehold Mortgagee under such Leasehold Mortgage setting forth the
information described in Section 13.2 hereof, confirming the terms of this Article 8; and
providing Landlord's agreement to recognize the Leasehold Mortgagee or any purchaser of the
Arena Complex at foreclosure in the same manner as an assignee pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.
Landlord agrees to accept amendments of this Lease, subject to City Council approval if
necessary, which are reasonably requested by a Leasehold Mortgagee prior to the execution of its
Leasehold Mortgage which are reasonably calculated to protect the Leasehold Mortgagee's
interest in this Lease under its Leasehold Mortgage and do not, in the reasonable opinion of
Landlord, materially diminish the rights of Landlord under this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Leasehold Mortgagee shall by virtue thereof acquire any greater right in the Arena
Complex and in any building or improvements thereon than Tenant then had under this Lease,
and provided further that any Leasehold Mortgage and the indebtedness secured thereby shall at
all times be and remain inferior and subordinate to all of the conditions, covenants and
obligations of this Lease and to all of the rights of Landlord hereunder. In no event shall Tenant
or Arena Group have the right to encumber, subordinate or render inferior in any way Landlord's
fee simple title and reversionary interest in and to the Arena Complex; except as expressly set
forth to the contrary in any of the Project Documents.
Section 8.2 Notices to Leasehold Mortgagees.
If at any time after execution and recordation of any Leasehold Mortgage in the Real
Property Records of Tarrant County, Texas, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1. the
Leasehold Mortgagee or Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that the Leasehold Mortgage on
the Arena Complex(or portion thereof)has been given and executed by Tenant, and shall furnish
Landlord at the same time with the address to which Leasehold Mortgagee desires copies of
23
notices to be mailed, or designates some person or corporation as its agent and representative for
the purpose of receiving copies of notices, Landlord hereby agrees that it will thereafter mail to
Leasehold Mortgagee and to the agent or representative so designated by the Leasehold
Mortgagee, at the address so given, duplicate copies of any and all notices in writing which
Landlord may from time to time give or serve upon Tenant under and pursuant to the terms and
provisions of this Lease, or in connection herewith, and any and all pleadings in suits filed by
Landlord against Tenant, as applicable. No notice to Tenant shall be effective as to Tenant or
Leasehold Mortgagee unless duplicate copies thereof are mailed to such Leasehold Mortgagee at
the same time the notice is given or served upon Tenant.
Section 8.3 Leasehold Mortgagee's Right to Cure.
If Landlord shall ever be entitled to exercise a remedy hereunder, after the giving of
notice or the passage of time, as applicable, Landlord, subject to notification by Leasehold
Mortgagee pursuant to Section 8.2 above, shall deliver additional written notice to Leasehold
Mortgagee of Landlord's intention to so terminate this Lease or exercise any other remedy and
describing the existing defaults, and Leasehold Mortgagee thereafter shall have thirty (30) days
to cure the defaults described in such written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject
to the provisions of Section 9.2 hereof, in the event(i) such default is not capable of cure within
such 30-day period, this Lease may not be terminated, or other remedy exercised, if Leasehold
Mortgagee shall deliver to Landlord, within such 30-day period, written notice of Leasehold
Mortgagee's intention to cure the specified defaults and shall commence and diligently pursue
the cure of the specified defaults and such defaults by reason of such due diligence are cured
within ninety (90) days of the date of such notice, or (ii) any Leasehold Mortgagee is not in
actual possession of the Arena Complex on the date of the additional notice given the Leasehold
Mortgagee under this Section 8.3, and possession is necessary in order to cure any default, then
the time within which such Leasehold Mortgagee may commence to cure such default shall be
extended for a reasonable time not to exceed ninety (90) days until such Leasehold Mortgagee
can obtain actual possession. No purported termination of this Lease, or other exercise of
remedy, shall be effective until such written notice shall have been given to Leasehold
Mortgagee and such 30-day period, or additional time period as provided above, shall have
expired without the described defaults having been cured. Leasehold Mortgagee may, at its
option any time before the rights of Tenant under this Lease shall have been terminated,pay any
of the Rentals due hereunder, procure any insurance required hereunder, pay any installments
due with respect to the Obligations, make any repairs and improvements required hereunder, or
do any other act or thing or make any other payment required of Tenant by the terms of this
Lease or which may be necessary and appropriate to comply with the covenants and conditions
of this Lease to prevent the termination of this Lease. All payments so made and all things so
done and performed by any such Leasehold Mortgagee shall be as effective to prevent a
forfeiture of the rights of Tenant hereunder as if performed by Tenant.
Section 8.4 New Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease or otherwise, in the
event of termination of this Lease for any reason prior to the stated expiration date, Landlord
shall promptly notify all Leasehold Mortgagees of such termination. If the Leasehold Mortgagee

having the highest priority with respect to this Lease, cures all defaults giving rise to such
termination as provided below. Landlord shall enter into a new lease of the Arena Complex with
such Leasehold Mortgagee for the remainder of the Term, such new lease to be effective as of
the date of termination of this Lease, at the Rental and other payments then payable under Article
3 hereof, and upon all of the same terms, conditions, covenants, agreements, provisions and
limitations contained herein, subject to the following:
(a) The Leasehold Mortgagee entitled to the new lease shall make written request to
Landlord for a new lease within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Leasehold Mortgagee of
written notice from Landlord of the date of termination of this Lease; and
(b) At the time of the execution and delivery of the new lease, the Leasehold
Mortgagee shall pay to Landlord all amounts specified in the notice of termination delivered by
Landlord which would have been due hereunder except for such termination and which are
currently due except for such termination, and shall promptly cure all other defaults giving rise to
such termination. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the termination of this Lease
and shall continue in frill force and effect thereafter to the same extent as if this Section 8.4 was a
separate and independent contract among Landlord, Tenant and any Leasehold Mortgagee.
Section 8.5 Leasehold Mortgagee's Liability.
Unless a new lease shall have been executed pursuant to Section 8.4 above, no Leasehold
Mortgagee shall be or become personally liable to Landlord as an assignee of this Lease, for the
payment or performance of any obligation of Tenant unless and until it expressly assumes by
written instrument the payment or performance of such obligation, and no assumption of liability
shall be inferred from or result from foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature
thereof or as the result of any other action or remedy provided for by any Leasehold Mortgage,
or from a conveyance or assignment pursuant to which any purchaser at foreclosure shall acquire
the rights and interest of Tenant under the terms of this Lease; provided, however, any such
assignee or purchaser must timely and diligently perform all obligations of Tenant hereunder.
Section 8.6 No Modification or Surrender.
During such time as Tenant's leasehold estate is subject to a Leasehold Mortgage, this
Lease may not be modified or voluntarily surrendered without the prior written consent of the

by the provisions of Section 13.19 hereof.
ARTICLE 10

City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/6/2016
DATE: Tuesday, December 6, 2016 REFERENCE NO.: C-28021
LOG NAME: 25AMENDMASTERAGREEMENTARENA
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Agreements for Development and Operation of the Multipurpose Arena Adjacent to
the Will Rogers Complex, Including a Funding Agreement and Amendment of the Master Agreement, All
with Event Facilities Fort Worth, Inc., and a Long-Term Lease Agreement with Multipurpose Arena Fort
Worth and Authorize Public Events Director to Periodically Close Certain Streets on a Temporary Basis as
Needed During Construction and for Events (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the execution of the First Amendment to the Master Agreement with Event Facilities Fort
Worth, Inc. (EFFW), to address issues related to the development of the project on terms and conditions
described below;
2. Authorize the execution of a Funding Agreement with Event Facilities Fort Worth, Inc., for the funding
of the Multipurpose Arena on terms and conditions described below;
3. Authorize the execution of a Lease Agreement with Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth for the operation of
the Multipurpose Arena on the terms and conditions described below; and
4. Authorize the Public Events Director to periodically make temporary closures of portions of Harley
Avenue and Trail Drive adjacent to the Arena, as necessary, in connection with the construction of the
Arena and, once the Arena is operational, as needed for the safe production of events.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the majority of the remaining
contracts associated with funding, development, construction and operation of the Multipurpose Arena and
adjacent support facilities and to approve related matters.
First Amendment to Master Agreement. The Master Agreement between the City and Event Facilities
Fort Worth, Inc. (EFFW), for the Multipurpose Arena was authorized on November 10, 2015 (M&C C-
27527, City Secretary Contract (CSC) No. 47218). At the time of its execution, Staff anticipated execution
of a separate Development Agreement governing the Arena construction, but subsequent discussions with
EFFW have led to the conclusion that an amendment to the Master Agreement would be sufficient to
adequately address the development process.
The proposed amendment would:
. grant a license for City-owned property to construct the Multipurpose Arena and adjacent support

facilities;
• allow use of alternative risk mitigation measures in lieu of traditional payment and performance
bonds;
• require EFFW to file a lien on City-licensed land and EFFW-owned land during construction,
including the property that EFFW will be deeding to the City after construction has been completed;
• allow for EFFW to retain ownership of its land and the facility in the event City bond proceeds have
not been made available by the end of 2017;
• update Exhibit C: Funding Model;
• limit City approval for naming and sponsorship to permanent and semi-permanent signage to
substantial portions of the complex; and
• make other conforming changes.
Funding Agreement. The Funding Agreement between the City and EFFW will address the private and
public funding commitments related to the costs to design, develop and construct the Multipurpose Arena
complex. The proposed Funding Agreement requires:
• the City to obtain and deposit into a special dedicated account proceeds from the sale of revenue
bonds in an amount equal to the City's remaining funding commitment of approximately
$200,000,000.00, which reflects the City's total $225,000,000.00 commitment less the prior public
expenditures and contributions for land acquisition and other expenses related to the project;
• EFFW to obtain and demonstrate funding and related assurances in an amount equal to EFFW s
remaining funding commitment, which includes approximately $175,000,000.00 that remains on its
half of the $450,000,000.00 base budget (EFFW s $225,000,000.00 commitment less prior
contributions and expenditures for engineering, infrastructure work, and garage construction) PLUS
the full amount of project costs that exceed $450,000,000.00, and to establish a special dedicated
account therefor;
• transfers by both parties into a specially created project disbursement account that will be used to
pay mutually approved invoices;
• each party to provide assurance of its ability to meet its funding commitment, with the City's
assurance likely taking the form of a bond-marketability opinion from the selected underwriter and
EFFW s assurance anticipated to be in the form of a letter from its banking depository;
• the City's reasonable and best efforts to issue and sell, by no later than July 1, 2017, revenue bonds
that, after payment of all issuance costs, funding.of reserves, and making of similar bond-related
expenditures, provides net available proceeds equal to the City's remaining funding commitment;
and
• since City issues bonds are secured by venue taxes, City and EFFW to work cooperatively to
ensure all revenues are properly remitted and reported,
Lease Agreement. The Lease Agreement will be between the City and Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth, a
non-profit corporation designated by the Arena Group to operate the Multipurpose Arena and adjacent
support facilities. The key terms of the proposed Lease Agreement with Multipurpose Arena Fort Worth
(MAFW), are:
• Lease to be effective on execution.
• Term is for a period of 30 years with options for two 20-year extensions, with the initial term
commencing upon the date of the first public event in the Arena Facility.
• MAFW to pay rent of$1.00 per year and to assume and bear all costs incurred for operations,
staffing, maintenance, upkeep, security, utilities and improvements of facilities.
• Arena Complex is to be for the purpose of agricultural, sports, school, community, family,
entertainment, exhibition, banquet and similar events and other lawful uses subject to applicable
laws.
• MAFW has the right to negotiate and execute licenses, concession agreements, subleases,
management agreements and other agreements related to the Arena Complex and to retain
revenues therefrom to help defray the unsubsidized operating costs of the facility throughout the
Logname: 25AMENDMASTERAGREEMENTARENA Page 2 of 4
term of the agreement and any renewals.
• MAFW has authority to grant marketing rights, including sponsorships, naming rights, and
associated signage and to retain revenue therefrom to help defray the unsubsidized operating costs
of the facility throughout the term of the agreement and any renewals.
• MAFW is required to obtain and maintain general liability insurance at its expense naming City as
an additional insured.
• MAFW is allowed to directly obtain and maintain property insurance that would ordinarily be
acquired and maintained by the City, with the City providing an annual reimbursement out of the
Public Events operating budget in an amount up to what the City would pay if it were acquiring the
insurance.
Street Closure Authority. Currently, all street closures must be approved by the Transportation and
Public Works Department (T/PW), with City Council approval being required for(i) event-related closures
of more than three days and (ii) construction-related closures of more than 10 days. Approval of this M&C
will grant authority to the Director of Public Events, without approval of T/PW or further action by the City
Council, to periodically close identified portions of Trail Drive and Harley Avenue adjacent to the Arena on
a temporary basis to facilitate construction and, following the Arena's opening, the safe production of
events with no limit as to the number of days. Attached to this M&C is a diagram showing the street
segments in question. The closures may be related to event move-in or move-out, and high traffic volume
events will be staffed in accordance with a security and traffic management matrix. Off-duty Fort Worth
Police officers will generally be used for traffic control but may be supplemented with off-duty peace
officers from other jurisdictions operating under the supervision of off-duty Fort Worth Police officers. It is
anticipated that most such street closures will be less than 10 days in duration.
Any other required construction- or event-related street closures will continue to be handled under the
City's current process.
Other Outstanding Agreements. The M&C approving the Master Agreement (M&C C-27527; November
10, 2015) also authorized the City Manager or his designee to negotiate and execute a parking and sign
Agreements. To facilitate moving forward with the funding and other more pressing Agreements, the City
and EFFW have agreed to defer finalizing the parking and signage arrangements to a later date.
When construction of the arena commences, the current parking lot south of Harley that supports events
at the Will Rogers Memorial Center will be taken out of service. To provide parking for trailers and other
oversized vehicles during the period of construction, Staff anticipates entering into a Short Term Parking
Agreement with EFFW to allow the City and its parking-services provider exclusive use of the parking lots
that are owned by EFFW along Trail Drive. This Agreement will be presented to the City Council in
January 2017 and will provide a short term solution to the immediate parking needs during construction
while the parties finalize a longer term Agreement.
It is anticipated that signage in and around the Arena complex will be encompassed in a larger unified sign
district that is currently being developed for the overall Cultural District. That district is projected to be
finalized by December 31, 2017, which is well before the opening of the Arena facility.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that the execution of the Master Agreement established the parameters,
including the financial components of the Multipurpose Arena. Specific fiscal impacts will be included in
each of the subsequent actions presented for Mayor and Council approval, including the issuance of debt,
levy of 334 Taxes and appropriations for the capital project.
