WHEREAS, the City agrees to grant to Licensee the use of a portion of the surface parking lot on the
Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
WITNESSETH:
1. License Granted. City hereby grants Licensee the non-exclusive license to use
approximately one hundred twenty-five (125) parking spaces located at the Property as more specifically
described in Exhibit "A" of this Agreement (collectively the "Licensed Space"). Licensee may use the
Licensed Space to allow parade spectators to park and observe the parade. The Licensed Premises shall
be used for no other purpose. Under no circumstances during the Agreement will Licensee use or cause to
be used on the Licensed Space any hazardous or toxic substances or materials, or store or dispose of any
such substances or materials on the Licensed Space; provided that the presence of fuel, engine oil and
hydraulic fluids used for or stored in vehicles parked on the Licensed Space will not be deemed a violation
of this Section. Licensee shall not install signs, advertising media, and lettering on the Licensed Space
without prior written approval of City.
2. Use Not Exclusive. This Agreement and all rights granted to Licensee herein are strictly
non-exclusive. The City reserves the right to enter into and grant other and future licenses, leases, and other
authorizations for use of the Licensed Premises to other persons and entities as the City deems appropriate
in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that in granting subsequent authorization for use,
the City will not allow a use that will unreasonably interfere with the Licensee's use of the Licensed
Premises as provided herein. This Agreement does not establish any priority for the use of the Licensed
Premises by Licensee or by any present or future licensees or other permit holders. In the event of any
dispute as to the priority of use of the Licensed Premises, the first priority shall be to the public generally,
the second priority to the City in the performance of its various functions, and thereafter, as between
licensees and other permit holders, as determined by the City in the exercise of its powers.

evidence that (a) the Licensed Space is suitable for the purposes and uses for which same are licensed; and

appurtenances thereto. Further, Licensee takes the Licensed Space and all appurtenances in "AS IS"
