Except as otherwise specifically provided, USER may not voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, encumber,

USER to Assign all or any part of its interest and any attempt to subcontract its management duties hereunder
(except as otherwise specifically provided and allowed in this section) shall be void and of no force or effect
(and the parties acknowledge that the foregoing is not intended, and shall not apply, to the delegation of those
usual and customary production duties of USER as an event organizer). In the event of any assignment,
transfer, encumbrance or subcontract, USER shall remain liable for all obligations hereunder and the transferee
shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations thereafter arising under this Agreement. Any transfer of
a controlling interest in USER (whether in a single transaction or multiple transactions) shall be considered an
assignment of this Agreement. USER recognizes that the CITY and/or the TRUST identified USER to be the
contracted entity in this Agreement based on USER’s experience and specific qualifications in operating this
EVENT.

29.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, USER shall have the right to assign or transfer this Agreement to any
of the following (each a “Transferee”):

29.1.1 a successor entity arising from the purchase of, or merger or consolidation; or

29.1.2 an entity that purchases substantially all of the assets of USER, provided in either case all
of the following conditions are met:

29.1.2.1 The Transferee has a Tangible Net Worth in excess of $5,000,000;

29.1.2.2 The Transferee has not less than five (5) years’ experience in producing and
promoting similar live entertainment events internationally, nationally or
regionally (meaning operating not less than five (5) live entertainment events
in multiple states or countries during such five (5) year period);

29.1.2.3 USER and the Transferee shall execute an instrument pursuant to which the
Transferee assumes all obligations thereafter arising and USER
acknowledges its joint and several liability for all such obligations;

29.1.2.4 In Executive Director’s reasonable written determination, the Transferee has


a good reputation for producing events similar in nature and is an appropriate
manager for the EVENT. Executive Director shall advise USER in writing
whether or not this condition 29.1.2.4 has been met within sixty (60) days
after having received such information as Executive Director shall reasonably
request to make the determination. If Executive Director does not advise
USER that the Transferee is unacceptable within such sixty (60) day period,
this condition 29.1.2.4 shall be deemed satisfied. In the event Executive
Director advises USER in writing (“Executive Director’s Notice”) that this
condition 29.1.2.4 has not been met and, if conditions 29.1.2.1, 29.1.2.2 and
29.1.2.3 have been met, then and in that event, USER shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice (“Termination Notice”) to
Executive Director given within thirty (30) days after the date of Executive
Director’s Notice, time being of the essence. USER’s failure to deliver the
Termination Notice within thirty (30) days after Executive Director’s Notice
shall irrevocably constitute USER’s waiver of its right to terminate. Upon
termination of this Agreement under this section, USER shall be entitled to
the return of its Security Deposit within ten (10) days of USER’s request
therefor. The Transferee shall have to sign an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement in a form acceptable to the Trust and the City, which will be
subject to the approval of the Trust and the City Commission.

The provisions above shall not prevent USER in the performance of its business to grant licenses and enter into
concessions and service agreements for the EVENTS. Specifically, USER is authorized to subcontract non-
management duties to vendors, so long as such vendors agree to the insurance and indemnification provisions
contained herein, or USER agrees to cover any such vendor pursuant to its insurance and indemnification obligations.
