which may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement between the City and Team and 
which may apply to this Agreement with Concessionaire. 
 
2. 
CONCESSIONS: The City hereby hires Concessionaire, and Concessionaire agrees 
to operate the concessions at the Stadium for the sale of food and beverages during the Non-Spring 
Training season during the term of this Agreement. 
 
 
3. 
FINANCIAL TERMS:  Not later than the 20th day of each month following the end 
of a quarter (quarters shall be January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December), 
Concessionaire, shall deliver to the City a true and correct statement of gross revenues derived by 
Concessionaire from the sale of food and beverage products (including all catered food and 
beverages) during that quarter for any and all Non-Spring Training uses of the stadium in which 
Concessionaire had applicable sales.  Simultaneously with the delivery of each such statement, 
Concessionaire shall pay to the City: 
 
(a) 
Twenty percent (20%) of gross revenues as defined in paragraph 1(a) above for all 
non-catered concessions; and 
 
(b) 
Twenty-five percent (25%) of gross revenues as defined in paragraph 1(a) above for 
all catered concessions unless a different amount is agreed to in a writing by both Parties prior to 
the sale of such catered concessions. 
 
4. 
RESTRICTIONS ON SALES BY OTHERS:  The City hereby grants and confers 
upon Concessionaire the exclusive right at the Stadium throughout the term of this Agreement to 
sell food and beverages at Non-Spring Training season uses.  The City further grants Concessionaire 
a non-exclusive right to sell food and beverages in all parking lots as defined in paragraph 1(d).

Docusign Envelope ID: D94C7605-3967-46EA-8E2F-8A646480CBC9

3 
 
uses.  “Novelty items” refers to goods that a primarily intended for promotional, commemorative, 
decorative, or entertainment purposes and not for essential or functional use. These items may 
include, but are not limited to, branded or themed hats, pencils, mini bats, keychains, figurines, and 
other similar products typically sold or distributed as souvenirs, giveaways, or collectibles. The City 
shall use its best efforts so as not to permit or allow any salesperson or vendor to sell or distribute 
any food or beverage products in the Stadium at any time when concessions are being operated by 
Concessionaire or at reasonable times before and after such operation.  From time to time, there may 
be events scheduled at the Stadium for which the anticipated crowds are too small to warrant 
Concessionaire's performance of concession services.  For such events, Concessionaire may, on a 
case-by-case basis, waive its exclusive rights to allow others to perform such operations in place of 
Concessionaire for a particular event contemplated by this paragraph, which waiver will not be 
withheld by Concessionaire unreasonably. Concessionaire shall not be required to permit any third 
party to use any of Concessionaire's food service equipment at the stadium.  Where Concessionaire 
so chooses to waive its exclusive rights for a particular event contemplated by this paragraph, 
Concessionaire shall not be entitled to request a buyout or any form of compensation from the third 
parties in exchange for Concessionaire's waiver.  At the request of the City, the City and 
Concessionaire may meet annually to review the granting by Concessionaire of such waivers during 
the prior year. The Concessionaire shall use its best efforts to provide the City with as much prior 
notice as possible if they intend to waive its exclusive rights to allow others to perform concession 
activities for a particular event as contemplated by this paragraph (where anticipated crowds are too 
small to warrant Concessionaire’s performance of concession services for said event). For sake of 
clarity, this paragraph does not apply to subcontractors or other vendors of Concessionaire that 
Concessionaire may use in its performance of its concession services under this Agreement. 
 
5. 
POWERS RESERVED TO CITY.  The quality, quantity, price and brands of all 
items of food, liquor, beer and other items to be sold under this Agreement shall be determined by 
Concessionaire after consultation with the City and Concessionaire shall attempt to satisfy every 
reasonable request of the City.  In general, prices charged by Concessionaire shall be comparable to 
prices charged at comparable facilities. 
 
6. 
DEFAULT BY CONCESSIONAIRE.  In the event that Concessionaire shall commit 
a material breach of any term, condition, or covenant contained herein and shall fail to cure same 
within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of written notice from the City of a request to cure, 
the City may, at its option, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13 below. If such default 
by its nature cannot be cured within twenty (20) calendar days and does not involve the payment of 
money, Concessionaire shall immediately upon notice from the City commence curing such default 
and diligently and continuously pursue such remedy and cure such default within three (3) days. If 
Concessionaire fails to cure the default, the City may, at its option, terminate this Agreement 
pursuant to Section 13 below.  The termination of this Agreement by the City because of the 
happening of said events of default shall be without prejudice to any claims which the City may 
have against Concessionaire growing out of Concessionaire’s default under this Agreement.  No 
failure of the City to exercise any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a 
waiver of any other right. 
 
7. 
HOLD HARMLESS:  Concessionaire shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the 
City, its employees, officers and directors, from any and all alleged claims, demands, suits, actions, 
proceedings, loss, cost and damages of every kind and description, including reasonable attorney’s 
fees or litigation expenses, which may be brought or made against or incurred by the City, its 
Docusign Envelope ID: D94C7605-3967-46EA-8E2F-8A646480CBC9

employees, officers and directors, on account of loss of or damage to any property or for injuries to 
or death of any person caused by or arising out of any act, omission, professional error, fault, mistake 
or negligence of Concessionaire, its employees, agents or representatives (collectively, the “City”), 
in connection with or incident to the performance of this Agreement.  An allegation or determination 
that persons other than Concessionaire are responsible for the claim does not relieve Concessionaire 
from its separate and distinct obligation to defend the City, but only to the extent of Concessionaire’s 
own acts or the acts of its subcontractors. Concessionaire’s obligation under this paragraph does not 
extend to any liability ultimately determined by law or judicial order to have been caused by or 
arising out of any act, omission, professional error, fault, mistake, negligence or willful misconduct 
of the City, or its employees, officers and directors.  If it is determined, by a court, via settlement, 
or through the City’s acknowledgement, that liability (a portion or solely) was caused by, or alleged 
to have been caused by, the negligence or willful misconduct of the City, Concessionaire may submit 
a claim to the City for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs in proportion 
to the comparative liability of the City. Concessionaire shall require any subcontractor to indemnify 
and defend the City, its employees, officers and directors, by inserting indemnity language equal to 
this paragraph, in any subcontract agreement or arrangement Concessionaire enters into related to 
this Agreement. 
 
8. 
INSURANCE:  Prior to commencing any work or services under this Agreement, 
Concessionaire shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against 
claims for injuries to persons and damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with 
the performance of the work hereunder by Concessionaire, his agents, representatives, employees, 
or subcontractors, from the use, occupancy, or operations of Concessionaire at the Stadium for the 
sale of Concessionaire’s products as follows:

separately to this project/location or the general aggregate shall be twice the required occurrence 
limit.

Sections (a), (b), (d) and (e), above, as its interest may appear, and such coverage shall be primary 
to any insurance carried by City.  Concessionaire will deliver to the City certificates of such 
insurance within ten (10) days of the execution hereof.  All such policies of insurance shall be non-
cancellable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to City. 
 
(g) 
The parties reserve the right to evaluate the above insurance requirements throughout 
the course or this Agreement.  Any changes to the insurance requirements shall be by mutual 
consent, and the parties agree to act in good faith in negotiating such requirements considering the 
insurance market and the risks associated with the performance of this Agreement.  In the event the 
parties are unable to reach an agreement as to the insurance requirements, either party may terminate 
the Agreement, in accordance with Section 13 below, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the 
other party.

concession stands, storage rooms, alcoves, booths, kitchens and service areas and other areas used 
by Concessionaire (limited to production and serving areas) in a clean and sanitary condition at all 
times. The City shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, from time to time during 
Concessionaire’s usual business hours to reasonably inspect all office space, concession stands, 
storage rooms, alcoves, booths, kitchens, service areas, and any other equipment or space 
Concessionaire uses during the term of this Agreement to verify the condition of the equipment or

regulations.  Concessionaire agrees to obtain and continue in force an on-sale general liquor license 
issued pursuant to the laws of the State or Arizona for the Stadium.  It is hereby understood by and 
between the parties that the original cost of obtaining said liquor license and the annual renewal of 
said license, is the cost or Concessionaire.  The City shall have the right to determine whether 
alcoholic beverages can be served at non-Team events. 
 
11. 
EMPLOYEES:  Concessionaire will employ trained and neatly uniformed employees 
and said employees shall conduct themselves at all times in a proper and respectful manner, and if 
any such employee shall conduct himself or herself in an improper or disrespectful manner, he or 
she shall be dismissed for cause upon the written request of the City or its representatives, and not 
again be employed in the concessions.  Said dismissal shall be in accordance with any applicable 
federal, state or local laws which may be in effect and further shall be in compliance with any 
applicable union or labor organization agreements which may be in effect at the time of said 
dismissal.  Concessionaire also agrees to have a manager, who is acceptable to the City, on the 
premises during business hours.
