as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Organizer desires temporary access to the Property for the purpose of
conducting the event known as Rooftop House Volume I (the "Activity"), as described in the
proposal attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Activity Proposal"); and
WHEREAS, the BPW is willing to permit the Organizer to gain access to and temporarily
use the Property for the Activity, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for

2. The Organizers' license to use the Property for the Activity shall be effective from
May 2, 2024 at 12:00 a.m. to May 2, 2024 at 11:59 p.m., provided, however, that the City or the
City's authorized representative may revoke and terminate the license at any time for any reason,
as determined in its sole discretion. The Organizer agrees that it will not store any supplies,
materials, goods, or personal property of any kind on the Property or otherwise use the Property
for any purposes except during the time of the license stated in the foregoing sentence.
Immediately upon the completion of the Activity, the Organizer will remove from the Property all

with the Organizer's use of the Property, the Organizer, at the Organizer's sole expense, shall
restore the Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such disturbance or damage
to the satisfaction of the City.
9. The Organizer agrees and undertakes to indemnify, defend, and hold the City,
BPW, and their respective agents, employees, successors, assigns, and licensees harmless from
any liability, loss, costs, damages or expenses, including attorneys' fees, which the City, BPW,
and their respective agents, employees, successors, assigns, and licensees may suffer or incur as
a result of any claims or actions which may be brought by any person or entity arising out of the
approval granted herein by the BPW or the Organizer's use of the Property. If any action is
brought against the City, BPW and their respective agents, employees, successors, assigns, and
licensees, in connection with the Activity, the Organizer agrees to defend such action or
proceedings at its own expense and to pay any judgment rendered therein.
10. The Organizer, at the Organizer's sole expense, shall maintain during the term of
this Agreement commercial general liability insurance covering the Organizer and the Activity in
an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. The Organizer
agrees to include BPW and the City as additional insureds on any such policy and produce to
BPW, or its representative, a certificate of insurance evidencing the same. To the extent that
BPW or the City is harmed as a result of the Organizer's use of the Property, the Organizer hereby
