1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
July 21, 2026 (the “Execution Date”), Sunset Operations at Broken Arrow, LLC (“Sunset”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Venu Holding Corporation (the “Company”), executed and entered into a Consulting and Management
Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Legends Global Theater Management, LLC (“Legends”; together with
Sunset, the “Parties”) in connection with the amphitheater being developed by the Company in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
(“The Sunset BA”). Under the Agreement, Legends will provide The Sunset BA with advisory services during its pre-opening
period and management and operations services as The Sunset BA’s exclusive manager once it opens. The following description summarizes
certain material terms of the Agreement. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current
Report”) have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.
Term.
Although the Agreement became effective and binding on the Parties on the Execution Date, the Agreement’s term (the “Term”)
commences on the date The Sunset BA opens to the general public (the “Opening Date”) with options to extend the Term on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Legends will have the right to terminate
the Agreement prior to the end of the Term upon 30 days’ written notice upon a material breach of the Agreement or upon the occurrence
of certain development, construction, financing, or other project-related events specified in the Agreement that will materially impair
or delay the development and opening of The Sunset BA or Legends’ operations at The Sunset BA.
Exclusive
Negotiation Period. If Legends delivers a Negotiation Notice to Sunset at least 150 days prior to the expiration of the Term,
Legends can initiate a 60-day Exclusive Negotiation Period commencing on the notice date, during which the Parties must negotiate in
good faith the terms of a new consulting and management agreement or the extension of this Agreement. Prior to and during the Exclusive
Negotiation Period, Sunset is prohibited from soliciting, requesting, considering, discussing, or negotiating inquiries, proposals, or
offers from any Person other than Legends regarding the provision of management services to The Sunset BA. If Legends does not deliver
a Negotiation Notice or if the Exclusive Negotiation Period expires before the Parties enter into a binding agreement, Sunset may commence
negotiations for management services from other providers, provided that if Sunset desires to enter into an agreement for such services
with another Person on terms that are less favorable to Sunset than the terms last proposed by Sunset to Legends, Sunset must offer Legends
the same terms and conditions as offered to such Person, which Legends must accept or reject within ten days before Legends can enter
into the agreement with such Person.
Services.
Prior to the Opening Date of The Sunset BA, Legends will provide Pre-Opening Advisory Services related to venue planning, design coordination,
operations, staffing, budgeting, programming, marketing, and opening preparations. Such Pre-Opening Advisory Services will include, among
other services described in the Agreement, preparing pre-opening marketing and advertising plans, procuring, stocking, and installing
operating supplies, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, negotiating and executing license agreements, booking commitments, service contracts,
and vendor agreements, coordinating with and overseeing any third-party providers retained to provide Food and Beverage Services, coordinating
the development of the parking plans and facilities, and providing such other services as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
After the Opening Date and for the duration of the Term, Legends will serve as the exclusive manager of The Sunset BA with exclusive
authority over The Sunset BA’s day-to-day operations and activities, subject to any terms and conditions related to such operations
set forth in the Economic Development Agreement, dated December 3, 2023, between Sunset, at Broken Arrow, LLC (a controlled subsidiary
of the Company) the Broken Arrow Economic Development Authority, and the City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (the “Development Agreement”).
Legends will have continued responsibility for The Sunset BA’s operational decisions, event booking and programming, staffing,
financial administration, vendor management, marketing, oversight of third-party service providers, venue maintenance, budgeting, and
annual planning and reporting, subject to certain approval rights retained by Sunset. As part of its exclusive management role, Legends
will have the right, without any prior approval by Sunset, to negotiate, execute in Legends’ name as agent for Sunset, deliver,
and administer all licenses, occupancy agreements, rental agreements, booking commitments, advertising agreements, concession agreements,
supplier agreements, service contracts, and all other contracts and agreements in connection with the management, promotion, and operation
of The Sunset BA.
Booking.
The overall booking strategy for The Sunset BA will be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, while Legends will retain day-to-day programming
discretion and collaborate with Sunset on material booking decisions. Legends is also permitted to utilize commercially reasonable multi-venue
booking, routing, and promotional strategies with venues managed by Legends or its Affiliates, provided such activities comply with applicable
antitrust laws and confidentiality obligations. Although Legends will act in good faith and consistent with the overall booking strategy,
Legends provides no guarantee under the Agreement regarding the number of events to be held at The Sunset BA during each fiscal year,
the identity of performers at such events, the attendance at such events, or any other similar or related matters regarding The Sunset
BA’s operations and performance.
Compensation,
Fees, and Reimbursement of Expenses. Legends will be entitled to receive various forms of compensation under the Agreement. During
the Pre-Opening Period, Sunset must pay Legends a fixed monthly Pre-Opening Advisory Fee, which Legends is permitted to draw from a Pre-Opening
Fund that Sunset must establish in the name of Legends and fund in an amount at least equal to the aggregate of the projected costs and
expenses payable by Sunset to Legends in connection with its provision of the Pre-Advisory Services and as set forth in the pre-approved
Pre-Opening Budget. During the Management Term, Legends will be entitled to receive: (i) a Base Management Fee payable during the Management
Term, consisting of the greater of a fixed annual fee or a fixed percentage of Adjusted Gross Income (calculated based on Operating Revenues
(excluding, for purposes of calculating the Base Management Fee, revenues from naming rights and sponsorship agreements for The Sunset
BA and ticket sales revenues attributable to the firepit suites premium seating area), less specified event-related costs and other agreed
deductions), payable in equal monthly installments; (ii) an Incentive Fee, payable annually based on Legends’ achievement of mutually
agreed key performance indicators established by the Parties in writing prior to each fiscal year, which Incentive Fee will be increased
annually by a fixed percentage in each subsequent fiscal year (compounded annually); and (iii) various commissions related to food-and-beverage
revenues, payable monthly as fixed percentage fees. Sunset must also reimburse Legends for certain approved Operating Expenses incurred
by Legends in operating The Sunset BA. Operating Expenses will not include, among other items, property taxes and insurance, Capital
Equipment and Capital Improvement costs, reserves for capital expenditures, emergency repairs, pre-existing obligations, payments and
expenses related to any financing secured by or in connection with The Sunset BA, Sunset’s ordinary-course accounting and legal
expenses, and other expenses not directly related to Legends’ operation of The Sunset BA.
Special
Assessment. Legends must administer the collection of the Special Assessment required under the Development Agreement, segregate
those amounts from other Operating Revenues, and cooperate with Sunset to cause such amounts to be remitted to the City of Broken Arrow,
Oklahoma. Amounts collected as the Special Assessment will be excluded from Operating Revenues or Operating Expenses and will not be
factored into the calculation of the Management Fee payable to Legends.
Reports.
Legends is required to maintain GAAP-compliant accounting records related to its activities at The Sunset BA and must give Sunset’s
authorized representatives access to such books and records maintained at The Sunset BA upon reasonable notice and during reasonable
business hours. Each year, Legends must prepare and furnish to Sunset (i) an Annual Report containing specified financial statements
and an auditor’s opinion regarding the accuracy of the financial records kept by Legends and of amounts due to the Parties under
the Agreement, and (ii) an annual management plan regarding Legends’ anticipated operations and the Proposed Budget for the following
fiscal year. Legends must also provide Sunset with certain preliminary financial reports and any financial reports that are required
to be prepared under the Development Agreement or the Ground Lease.
Other
Customary Terms. In addition to the terms described above, the Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions of an
agreement of this nature, including provisions regarding confidentiality, indemnification, insurance, assignment, non-solicitation of
employees, ownership of assets, compliance with laws, governmental regulations, and permitting and licensing requirements, force-majeure
events, and customary representations and warranties.

limiting the generality of the foregoing, Legends shall have, without (except as otherwise expressly noted below) any prior approval
by Client, the sole right and authority to:
(a)
employ, supervise and direct employees and personnel consistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that Client acknowledges

and operation of the Venue, provided that if any such license, agreement, commitment or contract other than those involving the license,
lease or rental of the Venue in the ordinary course has a term that extends beyond the Term, such license, agreement, commitment or contract

(j)
engage in such advertising, solicitation, and promotional activities as Legends deems necessary or appropriate to develop the potential
of the Venue and the cultivation of broad community support (including without limitation selling advertising inventory or securing product
rights for the Venue). In connection with its activities under this Agreement, including without limitation any advertising relating
to the Venue, Legends shall be permitted to use the term “Sunset Amphitheater” and such other terms requested by Legends,
and logos for such terms, in its advertising, subject to the prior approval of Client; and.

2.4
Programming.
(a)
General. Except as otherwise set forth below, the booking strategy for the Venue shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
(b)
Network Booking; No Conflict; Antitrust Compliance. Client acknowledges that Legends and its Affiliates presently manage, operate,
promote, advise, and/or otherwise provide services to other venues and facilities, and that Legends may from time to time employ multi-venue
booking, routing, and promotional strategies in connection with such venues and the Venue. Client agrees that Legends’ engagement
in such multi-venue strategies-such as, by way of example, coordinated routing, bundled or sequenced offers, multi-venue holds, or reasonable
radius clauses tailored to a specific event-may be employed where commercially reasonable and, when so employed, may accrue to the benefit
of the Venue through enhanced booking opportunities and market positioning, and the same shall not, in and of itself, constitute a conflict
of interest, breach of duty, self-dealing, or other violation of this Agreement. Legends will act in good faith and consistent with the
mutually agreed booking strategy described in Section 2.4 in exercising its programming discretion and will consult with
the Client Representative regarding material booking decisions, it being understood that: (i) programming remains subject to market conditions
and artist/promoter preferences; and (ii) Legends does not guarantee the number or identity of events or performers. For the avoidance
of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.4(b) limits Legends’s right to transact with Affiliates on commercially reasonable
terms as provided in Section 10.2, nor does it modify the confidentiality obligations in Section 2.9.
(c)
Antitrust Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in implementing any multi-venue strategy, Legends will:
(i) make independent decisions regarding pricing, terms, and negotiations for the Venue; (ii) not enter into any agreement with any competitor
venue to fix prices, allocate customers or territories, or otherwise engage in conduct prohibited under applicable antitrust or competition
Laws; and (iii) maintain appropriate safeguards consistent with Section 2.9 to avoid sharing Client’s competitively
sensitive, nonpublic information except as permitted therein. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be construed to require
or permit any action that would violate applicable antitrust or competition Laws; if any proposed action under this Section 2.4
would violate such Laws, the parties shall confer in good faith to pursue an alternative, lawful approach consistent with the mutually
agreed programming objectives in Section 2.4.
(d)
Legends Participation and Coordination. The parties acknowledge that Legends and its Affiliates and related entities and personnel
(including, without limitation, Legends’ regional teams and corporate personnel) are actively involved in developing and maintaining
industry relationships and may participate in booking-related activities, including initial outreach, pitch development, holds, and scheduling
coordination for events at the Venue. Legends will collaborate in good faith and coordinate with the Client on such activities, consistent
with the mutually agreed booking strategy and Legends’ day-to-day operating authority, while Legends continues to maintain a master
set of booking records and schedules. For clarity, (i) this Section is intended to be broad and non-prescriptive and does not require
either party to alter internal processes, (ii) Legends’ programming discretion remains subject to Section 2.4 and
is not a guarantee of events or performers, and (iii) nothing herein permits conduct inconsistent with Section 2.4(b)–(c)
(including antitrust compliance) or Section 2.9 (Confidentiality/Nondisclosure).
7
2.5
Right of Entry Reserved.
Representatives
of Client designated from time to time by the Client Representative shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Legends and
at appropriate times, to enter all portions of the Venue to inspect same, to observe the performance of Legends of its obligations under
this Agreement, to install, remove, adjust, repair, replace or otherwise handle any equipment, utility lines, or other matters in, on,
or about the premises, or to do any act or thing which Client may be obligated or have the right to do under this Agreement or otherwise.
Client shall not interfere with the activities of Legends hereunder, and Client’s actions shall be conducted such that disruption
of Legends’s work shall be kept to a minimum.
2.6
Client Responsibilities.
The
parties acknowledge and agree that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Client, together with any current and future partners,
will generally take the lead on, and will be solely responsible for, all aspects of the planning, entitlement, development, design and
construction of the Venue (including all costs, liabilities, and risks related to the Venue), except that Client will provide to Legends
meaningful consultation rights, collaborate in good faith with Legends, and meaningfully take into consideration all input provided by
Legends, regarding the planning, entitlement, development, construction, and operation of the Venue. The Venue shall be designed and
constructed substantially in accordance with the permit set of drawings approved by Client and attached hereto as Exhibit
D (the “Permit Drawings”), which shall include, without limitation, a parking plan for the Venue.
In addition, Client will be solely responsible for identifying, securing, and paying all required capital for the development, construction,
pre-opening, and operation of the Venue (including all working capital), which may include equity investment from one or more equity
investors, debt financing from one or more lenders, and/or public financing. Neither Legends nor any of its Affiliates or principals
will be required to provide any guaranty or indemnification (including any non-recourse carveout guaranty, payment guaranty, carry guaranty,
completion guaranty, lease guaranty, general indemnity, or environmental indemnity) that may be requested or required by any lender or
other person as a condition to closing any financing or otherwise.
2.7
Pre-Opening Period.
(a)
Pre-Opening Advisory Services. During the Pre-Opening Period, Legends shall provide the pre-opening operational, design, and management
services described in Exhibit B hereto (collectively, the “Pre-Opening
Advisory Services”). As compensation to Legends for its provision of the Pre-Opening Advisory Services during the Pre-Opening
Period, Client shall (i) pay Legends the Pre-Opening Advisory Fee described in Section 4.2, and (ii) fund all actual costs
and expenses incurred to perform the Pre-Opening Advisory Services as described in Section 2.8(b) below.
(b)
Pre-Opening Budget.
(i)
As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, Legends will submit to Client, for Client’s approval, a budget with
respect to the pre-opening costs and expenses anticipated to be incurred in connection with the Venue during the Pre-Opening Period,
which will include the Pre-Opening Advisory Fee, the costs and expenses anticipated to be incurred by Legends in connection with its
provision of the Pre-Opening Advisory Services (including all staffing and personnel costs) including an anticipated time line (or Gantt
chart) that includes anticipated milestones and anticipated timing for when expenses will be incurred and due, and all other third-party
costs and expenses anticipated to be incurred with respect to the Venue during the Pre-Opening Period (the “Pre-Opening Budget”).
Client shall review such proposed Pre-Opening Budget and shall submit any comments to Legends as promptly as possible so that the Pre-Opening
Budget can be finalized, approved, and funded by Client as soon as practical. Legends shall be entitled from time to time to revise and
update such Pre-Opening Budget to reflect changed circumstances, provided that any revised Pre-Opening Budget shall require the approval
of Client. During the Pre-Opening Period, Legends’s aggregate expenditures with respect to the Venue (when taken as a whole and
not on a per line-item basis) shall not exceed the aggregate amounts allocated thereto in the Pre-Opening Budget without the consent
of Client. In the event that at any time during the Pre-Opening Period, Legends reasonably believes that its expenditures to date would
indicate that (x) such expenditures likely to exceed budgeted amounts or (y) there are insufficient funds to perform the Pre-Opening
Advisory Services, Legends shall promptly give notice thereof to Client and the parties will confer and mutually agree on any necessary
adjustments or alterations to the Pre-Opening Advisory Services activities during the Pre-Opening Period, or the Pre-Opening Budget.
8
(ii)
In order to provide funding for the expenses set forth in the Pre-Opening Budget, Client shall, within ten (10) days prior to the date
of the commencement of the Pre-Opening Period, (x) reimburse Legends for all costs and expenses to be incurred by Legends as set forth
in the Pre-Opening Budget as approved by Client that have been advanced by Legends prior to the date of the commencement of the Pre-Opening
Period, and (y) advance to Legends for deposit in, and withdrawal upon incurrence of such costs and expenses, an interest-bearing operating
bank account in the name of Legends in such employees of Legends as Legends shall determine (the “Pre-Opening Fund”),
an amount equal to or greater than the aggregate of the projected costs and expenses payable by Client to Legends (including the Pre-Opening
Advisory Fee and the costs and expenses anticipated to be incurred by Legends in connection with its provision of the Pre-Opening Advisory
Services (including all staffing and personnel costs)) as set forth in anticipated timelines included in the Pre-Opening Budget.
(iii)
By no later than the first day of each successive month during the Pre-Opening Period, Client shall advance to Legends such amount as
is necessary to replenish the Pre-Opening Fund to a minimum amount equal to the aggregate of projected costs and expenses payable by
Client to Legends (including the Pre-Opening Advisory Fee and the costs and expenses anticipated to be incurred by Legends in connection
with its provision of the Pre-Opening Advisory Services (including all staffing and personnel costs)) as set forth in the Pre-Opening
Budget.
(iv)
If, at the end of the Pre-Opening Period, there is a balance in the Pre-Opening Fund in an amount in excess of the then-accrued expenses
payable by Client to Legends set forth in the Pre-Opening Budget, Legends shall disburse such excess to the Operating Accounts. Legends
shall monitor the balance of the Pre-Opening Fund and, if at any time during the Pre-Opening Period, amounts on deposit in the Pre-Opening
Fund are or are expected to be insufficient for the payment of (x) pre-opening expenses set forth in the Pre-Opening Budget then-due
or budgeted to become due during such month or (y) emergency expenditures to which the Client Representative has consented, Legends shall
promptly notify Client in writing of such insufficiency (including supporting documentation or data), and Client shall promptly, but
in no event later than the Fifth (5th) business day following the giving of such notice, deposit into the Pre-Opening Fund
an amount sufficient to cure such insufficiency. For the avoidance of doubt, Legends shall have no obligation to advance any funds from
its own resources to cover any insufficiency in the Pre-Opening Fund.
(v)
If Client elects to: (A) advance the Opening Date to occur earlier than the then-current Scheduled Opening Date or (B) commence Venue
operations for a partial initial season or other period that is shorter than a full Fiscal Year (each, an “Accelerated Opening
or Stub Season”), Client acknowledges that the Pre-Opening Advisory Services and related pre-opening activities, including
staffing, training, marketing, procurement, and other pre-opening tasks necessary to ensure safe and effective operations, must still
be undertaken and funded in full notwithstanding the length of the initial operating period. Accordingly, Client shall continue to approve
and fund the Pre-Opening Budget and maintain the Pre-Opening Fund as provided in this Section 2.7(b), and shall timely
replenish the Pre-Opening Fund to meet such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, Client further acknowledges that an Accelerated
Opening or Stub Season may reasonably be expected to result in operating losses during the initial operating period, and Client shall
fund such losses in accordance with Section 5 (including Section 5.1 regarding Operating Funds and Cash Flow
Shortfalls), without reduction to or setoff against any amounts otherwise payable to Legends hereunder.
2.8
Provision of Advisory Services.
(a)
In rendering the Advisory Services prior to the Opening Date, Legends will work with representatives, consultants and agents of Client
as set forth in Exhibits “A” hereto (including, without limitation, the architectural and engineering firm selected by Client
for the design and construction of the Venue). Legends will make appropriate Legends personnel available to such firm on a reasonable
basis from time to time to consult with and provide periodic reports regarding the performance of the Advisory Services.
9
(b)
In rendering the Advisory Services, Legends expects to utilize its existing personnel; it is acknowledged that (unless Legends determines
otherwise) no Legends personnel will be located full-time at the Project site; Legends personnel will from time to time visit the site
and participate in meetings with public officials, finance partners, other agents, representatives and consultants of Client as necessary
or appropriate in connection with the performance of the Advisory Services.
(c)
Client acknowledges that Legends is not an architect, an engineer, or a legal advisor, and the Advisory Services provided under this
Agreement with respect to the Venue are based on its operational knowledge and should not be construed as a representation of architectural
or engineering practices or a legal representation or interpretation of any Law, including, but not limited to, the ADA. Neither Client
nor any of its agents, consultants or representatives may rely upon Legends as having architectural, engineering, or legal expertise.
Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Legends shall have no liability to Client whatsoever, including
with respect to architectural, engineering, or legal matters, relating to the provision of the Advisory Services.
(d)
Legends personnel assigned by Legends to perform the Advisory Services shall be available as required in order to perform the Advisory
Services.
(e)
Legends will have the right to enter into agreements with respect to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement as agent
for, and on behalf of, Client.
2.9
Confidentiality/Nondisclosure.
(a)
Confidentiality/Nondisclosure. In connection with this Agreement, the Receiving Party (as defined below) acknowledges that the
Disclosing Party (as defined below) may provide to the Receiving Party and its employees, agents and subcontractors (including, without
limitation, the architectural and engineering firm retained for the Venue) with Confidential Information (as defined below). In addition,
in connection with this Agreement, the Disclosing Party may provide to the Receiving Party and its employees, agents and subcontractors
with materials that are protected by copyright of the Disclosing Party.
(i)
The Receiving Party shall keep secret and confidential any and all Confidential Information already disclosed and/or to be disclosed
to it by the Disclosing Party or otherwise obtained by the Receiving Party in connection with this Agreement, and the Receiving Party
shall not divulge any such Confidential Information, in whole or in part, to any Person except as is expressly permitted below in this
Section 2.9.
(ii)
The Receiving Party shall not use any such Confidential Information, except for the express purpose of utilizing it in connection with
the performance of the Advisory Services or the management of the Venue. The Receiving Party shall not directly or indirectly disclose
or discuss any such Confidential Information with any Person, other than employees, agents and subcontractors of the Receiving Party
who are directly concerned with the performance of the Advisory Services or the management of the Venue, provided, however, that in the
event of any such disclosure to its employees, agents and subcontractors, the Receiving Party: (a) shall first inform the Disclosing
Party of its desire to make such disclosure, (b) if requested by the Disclosing Party, shall require such employees, agents or subcontractors
to execute and deliver to the Disclosing Party in advance an agreement acknowledging a receipt of a copy of the provisions of this Section
2.9 and agreeing to be bound by such provisions to the same extent as the Receiving Party, and (c) in any event, shall advise
in writing all such Persons of the existence of the provisions of this Section 2.9 and of their responsibility to comply
with such provisions.
10
(iii)
In addition to the disclosure permitted above, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information which: (a) was publicly known
or generally available to the public at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) becomes publicly known or generally available
to the public after disclosure through no breach of this Agreement or other wrongful act or omission of the Receiving Party or its Representatives;
(c) was lawfully known to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (d) is lawfully
obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party who is not, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, under any obligation of confidentiality
or restriction on disclosure with respect to such information; (e) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of,
reference to, or reliance upon the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; (f) is approved in writing by the Disclosing Party
for release or disclosure; or (g) to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, court order, subpoena, governmental inquiry,
or stock exchange requirement; provided, however, that, to the extent legally permissible, the Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing
Party prompt written notice of such requirement and reasonably cooperate, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective
order or other appropriate remedy. If such protective order or remedy is not obtained, the Receiving Party may disclose only that portion
of the Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose.
(iv)
“Confidential Information” means any and all information disclosed (orally, in writing, by inspection or otherwise)
to one party (the “Receiving Party”) by the other party (the “Disclosing Party”)
pursuant to this Agreement, any information developed by the Receiving Party and based upon the information disclosed to the Receiving
Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other information obtained by the Receiving Party in connection with this Agreement. Such information
includes, but is not limited to, plans, proposals, budgets, and lists of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The restrictions upon confidentiality
and use of Confidential Information set forth in this Section 2.9 do not apply to information which the Receiving Party
can demonstrate was publicly available or lawfully in its possession at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing
Party; however, Confidential Information shall not be deemed in the Receiving Party’s possession or publicly known simply because
it is embraced by more general information in the Receiving Party’s possession.
(v)
With respect to any information or material which is protected by copyright of the Disclosing Party, no part of such materials may be
reproduced, stored in a database and retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means, including graphic, electronic, photocopying,
recording, mechanical or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the Disclosing Party.
(b)
Specific Performance. Client and Legends each agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.9 are reasonable and
necessary to protect the interests of the Disclosing Party and that the Disclosing Party’s remedies at law for a breach of any
of the provisions of this Section 2.9 will be inadequate and that, in connection with any such breach, the Disclosing Party
will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies (whether at law or in equity), to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without
the necessity of proving actual damage or immediate or irreparable harm, or of the posting of a bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine any of the provisions of this Section 2.9 to be unreasonable, the
Disclosing Party agrees to a reaffirmation of such provisions by such court to any limits which such court finds to be reasonable and
the Receiving Party will not assert that such provision shall be eliminated in their entirety by such court.
(c)
Use of Project Information by Legends. Notwithstanding Section 2.9(a) above, Legends will be permitted to disclose
any information related to the financial or operational performance of the Venue (or the Project, as applicable) (i) to Legends’s
lenders, potential lenders, investors, potential investors, purchasers, and potential purchasers, (ii) in connection with any public
financing or capital raise by or on behalf of Legends or in which Legends participates, and (iii) in the ordinary course of business,
including as a basis for comparison for other events venues (e.g., a “comp set”); provided however, that Legends shall
instruct any persons to whom it provides Confidential Information under this Section 2.9(c) not to disclose such information
and Legends shall be responsible for any breach of such persons of the confidentiality obligations under this Section 2.9.
2.10
Special Assessment. Legends will cause the Special Assessment to be accessed as required in the Development Agreement, and for
funds that represent the Special Assessment to be segregated from other Operating Revenues and cooperate with Client to cause such amounts
to be remitted to the City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Legends will acquire and maintain any sales tax permit(s) required by the City
of Broken Arrow or the State of Oklahoma as required by the Development Agreement. Amounts collected as the Special Assessment are excluded
from the Operating Revenues (or Operating Expenses) and shall not be factored into the determination of the Management Fee.
11
3.
Term and Extension; New Contract.
3.1
Term.
This
Agreement shall be effective and binding on the parties on the Effective Date. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective
Date and shall end on the day immediately prior to the [***] ([***]th) anniversary of the Opening Date, unless earlier
terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (the “Term”). Legends will have the option, in its
sole discretion, to extend the Term by [***] ([***]) additional [***] ([***]) year periods on the same terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Client at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current
Term.
3.2
Early Termination.
Legends
will have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Client, which termination will be effective thirty
(30) days after the delivery of such written notice, upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(a)
Either (i) there is a cessation, suspension, or abandonment of the development and construction of the Venue for a period of thirty (30)
or more consecutive days; (ii) Legends determines (after consultation with Client) that, due to then-current circumstances, there has
been a change in the construction schedule which will delay the Opening of the Venue by six (6) or more months from the Scheduled Opening
Date, or the Venue will be constructed or designed in a manner that is so different than that previously communicated to Legends that
it will materially impair Legends’ operations at the Venue; or (iii) Legends determines (after consultation with Client) that the
actual or projected costs to complete the development and construction of the Venue have increased, or that a shortfall or delay in construction
or development financing or funding has arisen, in each case to an extent that would reasonably be expected to (A) materially delay the
Opening of the Venue, (B) result in the Venue being completed in a manner that materially impairs Legends’ operations at the Venue,
or (C) materially and adversely affect Client’s ability to fund its obligations under this Agreement, including the Pre-Opening
Budget or the Operating Accounts; or
(b)
upon a material breach of this Agreement by Client upon the terms and conditions in this Agreement.
3.3
New Contract.
Not
later than one hundred and fifty days (150) prior to the end of the then-current Term, Legends may provide Client with written notice
(the “Negotiation Notice”) of its intention to negotiate with Client for a new consulting and management agreement
with respect to the Venue or an extension of this Agreement, in either case to commence on the day immediately following the end of the
Term. If Legends timely delivers the Negotiation Notice to Client, then the parties will negotiate in good faith for a period of sixty
(60) days from the date of such Negotiation Notice (the “Exclusive Negotiation Period”) with respect to such
new consulting and management agreement or extension of this Agreement. During or prior to the Exclusive Negotiation Period, Client shall
not, directly or indirectly (a) solicit, request, or encourage the submission of inquiries, proposals, or offers from any Person other
than Legends regarding the provision of management services for the Venue or a similar transaction, verbal or written; or (b) enter into
or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any of the foregoing with any Person other than Legends. If Legends does
not timely deliver the Negotiation Notice, or if the parties do not enter into a binding consulting and management agreement with respect
to the Venue or extension of this Agreement by the end of the Exclusive Negotiation Period, then Client shall be free to commence negotiations
and contract with any Person for the provision of management services for the Venue; provided that if the terms and conditions of any
agreement that Client desires to enter into with such Person are less favorable in the aggregate to Client than the terms and conditions
last proposed by Client to Legends, then Client shall be required to offer to Legends the same terms and conditions offered to such Person,
which Legends shall accept or reject within ten (10) days of receipt thereof, before Client shall be permitted to enter into the agreement
with such Person. In the event that Client enters into an agreement with any Person other than Legends, Legends shall provide reasonable
transition services for a reasonable period of time of no more than Thirty (30) days (subject to reimbursement by the Client of all reasonable
costs) to Client such that the services provided under this Agreement can be transitioned to a new operator without causing business
interruption to the Venue. This Section 3.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

As
base compensation to Legends for providing the services herein specified during the Management Term, Client shall pay Legends during
the Management Term an annual fee equal to the greater of (a) [***] Dollars ($[***]) or (b) [***] percent ([***]%) of Adjusted Gross
Income (the “Base Management Fee”). The Base Management Fee shall be payable in equal monthly installments
within Ten (10) days following the first day of each month during such Fiscal Year, and Legends shall be entitled to draw such amounts

(a)
Gross F&B Commission. Upon the conclusion of each month of every Fiscal Year during the Management Term, Legends shall be
entitled to receive a fee equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the F&B Operating Revenues generated from Food and Beverage Services
for events at the Venue during such month (the “Included F&B Revenue” and, the resulting amount the “Gross

(b)
Net F&B Commission. Upon the conclusion of each month of every Fiscal Year during the Management Term, Legends shall be entitled
to receive a fee equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the resulting amount of the Included F&B Revenue, less the F&B Operating

(c)
Payment. The F&B Commissions as described in Sections 4.4(a) and 4.4(b) above shall be distributed
to Legends within thirty (30) days after the end of each month during the Management Term, the amount of which shall be based on an invoice
from Legends setting forth the Included F&B Revenue and the F&B Operating Expenses for such period, and the calculation of the
F&B Commissions. Legends shall be entitled to draw any such F&B Commission from the Operating Accounts.
4.5
Effect of Sale or Transfer.
The
obligation to pay the amounts described in Section 4.1 through Section 4.4 above will survive any sale or
transfer of the Venue, or any portion of either of the foregoing, and any subsequent purchaser or owner will continue to be fully bound
by such obligations.
13
4.6
Operating Expenses; Operating Losses.
The
amounts described in Section 4.1 through Section 4.4 above and any other amounts payable to Legends pursuant
to this Agreement will be Operating Expenses of the Venue. Legends will not be liable for any operating losses of the Venue (except in
the case that such losses are directly caused by a material breach by Legends of its obligations or representations and warranties under
this Agreement, or its negligence in the performance of the services under this Agreement where such act directly leads to the loss),
and no costs or expenses shall be deducted from the amounts payable to Legends under this Agreement.
4.7
No Performance Guarantee.
Client
acknowledges that Legends has neither made nor is making any representations, warranties, or covenants of any nature whatsoever regarding:
(a) the number of events to be scheduled to occur at the Venue during each Fiscal Year, (b) the identity of any performers who may participate
in, or perform at, any such events, (c) the attendance at any such events, and (d) any other similar or related matters regarding the
performance or operations of the Venue.
5.
Funding; Budget; Bank Accounts.
5.1
Operating Funds.
Subject
to Section 5.2, following the approval of the Approved Budget for a Fiscal Year as described in Section 5.3(b)
below (including, without limitation, any Approved Budget applicable to the first Fiscal Year during the Management Term), Client shall
advance to Legends for deposit within the Operating Account established pursuant to Section 5.6 an amount equal to the
aggregate Operating Expenses (including the Base Management Fee, Incentive Fee, F&B Commissions, and all other fees or distributions
payable to Legends pursuant to this Agreement) set forth, and in accordance with the timelines provided (which may include sufficient
amounts to cover no less than four (4) months of Operating Expenses) in the Approved Budget. By no later than the first day of each successive
month during the applicable Fiscal Year, Client shall advance to Legends for deposit in the Operating Account such amount as is necessary
to replenish the Operating Account to a minimum amount equal to the aggregate projected Operating Expenses (including the Base Management
Fee, Incentive Fee, and all other fees or distributions payable to Legends pursuant to this Agreement) as set forth in the Approved Budget.
To the extent that amounts in the Operating Account are insufficient, or expected to be insufficient, to cover Operating Expenses (“Cash
Flow Shortfall”) for any period, Client shall advance funds to Legends as follows: as soon as reasonably practicable, Legends
will submit to Client an invoice for the projected Cash Flow Shortfall for the applicable period and Client will transfer such funds
to Legends within five (5) days prior to the start of such period, and such funds shall be deposited by Legends in the Operating Accounts
established pursuant to Section 5.6 and used to pay Operating Expenses.
5.2
Non-Funding.
(a)
Any failure by Legends to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not be a breach of or default under this Agreement if such
breach or default results from Client’s failure to provide sufficient funds for the management, operation and promotion of the
Venue.
(b)
If Client provides funds at (or reduces available funds to) a level that, in Legends’ commercially reasonable judgment, renders
the management of the Venue not commercially reasonable, Legends may, either (i) continue management of the Venue at a reduced level
consistent with anticipated Operating Revenues and available funding, (ii) after consultation with Client, and providing Client a reasonable
right to cure any deficiencies identified by Legends, or (iii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2.
14
5.3
Annual Budget.
(a)
As part of the Annual Plan described in Section 6.4, on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the end of
each Fiscal Year, Legends will prepare a proposed annual operating budget for the next Fiscal Year to meet the scope of services and
objectives under this Agreement (the “Proposed Budget”). Such Proposed Budget shall contain appropriate line
items for Operating Revenues and Operating Expenses, and the projected Net Operating Loss/Profit.
(b)
The Proposed Budget shall be reviewed, and is subject to approval, by Client. On or before the date that is thirty (30) days prior to
the end of each Fiscal Year, Client shall notify Legends of any changes to the Proposed Budget for the succeeding Fiscal Year proposed
by Legends and with such changes, if any, as are made by Client on or before the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the end of such
Fiscal Year, such Proposed Budget shall be the Approved Budget for the following Fiscal Year, provided that if the Proposed Budget is
modified by Client in a manner which, in the parties mutually agree, could materially interfere, impede or impair the ability of Legends
to manage, operate or promote the Venue, Legends shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2.
In addition, if the Approved Budget departs from the Proposed Budget in any material respect, Legends shall not be deemed to have breached
its obligations under this Agreement if the alleged breach arises from or is due to the departure of the Approved Budget from the Proposed
Budget. If Legends has reasonable grounds to believe that the Approved Budget is likely to deviate negatively by ten percent (10%) or
more, Legends shall flag such anticipated deviation in the next monthly report delivered pursuant to Section 6.5. Legends
shall have no liability to Client for any such deviation from the Approved Budget, except to the extent such deviation results directly
from Legends’ willful misconduct or gross negligence, and in no event shall Legends be liable for any deviation arising from a
good faith estimating error, changed market conditions, or other circumstances not within Legends’ reasonable control.
(c)
As soon as reasonably practicable prior to the first Fiscal Year during the Management Term, Legends shall submit to Client for Client’s
approval the Proposed Budget for the first Fiscal Year during the Management Term; such Proposed Budget shall be treated in the same
manner and create the same rights following submission as described in subparagraph (b).
5.4
Budget Modifications Initiated by Legends.
Legends
may submit to the Client Representative at any time prior to the close of a Fiscal Year a supplemental or revised annual operating budget
for such Fiscal Year. Upon the approval of Client of such supplemental or revised budget, the Approved Budget for such Fiscal Year shall
be deemed amended to incorporate such supplemental or revised budget. The Approved Budget may only be amended as set forth in Section
5.5 below or in the two preceding sentences, except that Legends shall have the right to amend the Approved Budget as may be
necessary or appropriate as the result of the scheduling by Legends of additional events or activities at the Venue (and the incurrence
of additional Operating Expenses arising from the scheduling of such additional events or activities at the Venue) as long as prior to
the scheduling of such events or activities, Legends had a good faith belief that any projected Net Operating Profit for the Fiscal Year
as set forth in the Approved Budget would not be materially decreased, or any projected Net Operating Loss for the Fiscal Year as set
forth in the Approved Budget would not be materially increased, as a result of such additional events or activities.
5.5
Budget Modifications Initiated by Client.
In
the event that it appears reasonably likely that, in any Fiscal Year during the Management Term, the actual Net Operating Loss for such
Fiscal Year will be materially larger than the Net Operating Loss projected in the Approved Budget for such Fiscal Year, or the Net Operating
Profit for such Fiscal Year will be materially smaller than the Net Operating Profit projected in the Approved Budget for such Fiscal
Year, then Client may request from Legends a plan for reduction of Operating Expenses to a level consistent with the budgeted Net Operating
Loss/Profit amount. Legends shall promptly comply with any request from Client and the Approved Budget for such Fiscal Year shall be
modified accordingly, provided that if the Approved Budget is modified in a manner which, in Legends’ judgment, and after good
faith consultations with Client, could materially interfere, impede or impair the ability of Legends to manage, operate or promote the
Venue, Legends shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2. In addition, Legends shall not
be construed to have breached its obligations under this Agreement if the alleged breach arises from or is due to the modifications made
to the Approved Budget pursuant to this Section 5.5.
15
5.6
Receipts and Disbursements.
Legends
shall establish and maintain in one or more banking institution depositories approved by Client one or more interest-bearing operating,
payroll and other bank accounts for the promotion, operation and management of the Venue (or, as applicable, the Project), in the name
of Legends, with signature authority in such employees of Legends as Legends shall determine (each, an “Operating Account”).
Client shall prefund each Operating Account in accordance with the Approved Budget and Section 5.1. All revenues collected
by Legends from the operation, management or promotion of the Venue (or, as applicable, the Project) shall be deposited into such Operating
Accounts and Operating Expenses shall be paid by Legends as agent for Client from such Operating Accounts. Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, all revenues collected by Legends arising from operation, management or promotion of the Venue (or, as applicable,
the Project), including revenues from box office sales, facility or equipment rentals, utility rental agreements, food and beverage concessions,
naming rights, sponsorship, or advertising transactions, or any other source, are the sole property of Client, maintained by Legends
for the benefit of Client for application as provided herein. Any amounts remaining in such Operating Accounts upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason, after payment of all outstanding Operating Expenses and any other amounts due to Legends, shall be promptly
transferred by Legends to Client. If Client elects not to utilize an Operating Account established and maintained by Legends, incremental
fees shall apply for bank account opening, management, and accounting for cash activity in connection therewith, in amounts to be mutually
agreed upon by the parties.
5.7
Ticket Sales Revenues.
As
agent for Client, Legends shall hold in a separate interest-bearing account in a banking institution depository in the locale in which
the Venue is located any ticket sale revenues which it receives with respect to an event to be held at the Venue pending the completion
of the event (the “Ticket Sales Account”). The Ticket Sales Account shall be established and maintained in
a manner that permits Client to recognize, in accordance with GAAP, revenues from ticket sales upon funds being deposited into the account.
Such monies are to be held for the protection of ticket purchasers, Client and Legends, and to provide a source of funds, as required
for such payments to performers and promoters and for such payments of Operating Expenses in connection with the presentation of events
as may be required to be paid contemporaneously with the event. Following the satisfactory completion of an event at the Venue, Legends
shall make a deposit into the Operating Accounts of the amount in such Ticket Sales Account attributable to ticket sales for such event
and shall pay from the Operating Accounts all Event Expenses attributable to such event and such other amounts that are due. Interest
which accrues on amounts deposited in the Operating Accounts and the Ticket Sales Account shall be considered Operating Revenues.
5.8
Capital Improvements; Capital Equipment.
The
obligation to pay for, and authority to perform, direct and supervise, Capital Improvements and Capital Equipment purchases shall remain
with Client and will not be considered Operating Expenses. The Annual Plan submitted by Legends to Client pursuant to Section 6.4
shall include Legends’s recommendation for Capital Improvements and Capital Equipment purchases to be accomplished during the applicable
Fiscal Year and shall be accompanied by an estimate of the cost of all such items and projects and a request that Client budget funds
therefore. Client shall retain the discretion to determine whether and to what level to fund Capital Improvements and Capital Equipment
purchases to the Venue, except to the extent any failure would violate the obligations of Client to maintain and repair the Venue as
described in Section 9.2.
5.9
Limitation of Legends Liability.
Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary and except for Legends’s express indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.1(a),
Legends shall have no obligation to fund any cost, expense or liability with respect to the operation, management or promotion of the
Venue (or, as applicable, the Project). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Client recognizes and agrees
that performance by Legends of its responsibilities under this Agreement is in all respects subject to and conditioned upon the timely
provision of funds to Legends for such purposes as hereinafter provided.
16
5.10
Funds for Emergency Repairs.
Legends
shall have the right to act, with or without the consent of Client, in situations which Legends determines to be an emergency with respect
to the safety, welfare and protection of the general public, including spending and committing funds held in the Operating Accounts of
the Venue, even if such expenses are not budgeted; provided, however, Legends shall have no obligation under any circumstance to spend
or commit funds other than funds then available in such Operating Accounts for any such purpose. As soon as reasonably practicable prior
to, or following such action, Legends shall inform Client of the situation and the action(s) taken, and Client shall pay into such Operating
Accounts the amount of funds, if any, spent or committed by Legends pursuant to this Section 5.10 in excess of budgeted
amounts.
5.11
Pre-Existing Conditions and External Events.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless agreed to in writing in advance by Client and Legends, Legends shall have no responsibility
whatsoever for the remediation, abatement, correction, cure or administration of any environmental, construction, personnel, real property
or other problem, condition, or occurrence that exists or arises at the Venue during the Term that (a) relates to the operation or condition
of the Venue, or activities undertaken at the Venue or on the underlying real property, prior to the Effective Date, (b) is caused by
or arises from sources outside of the Venue or (c) is not caused by or does not arise from the actions or omissions of Legends. Client
shall retain full managerial and financial responsibility and liability for and control over the remediation, abatement, correction,
cure and administration of such problem, condition, or occurrence, and shall take such actions in a timely manner with as little disturbance
or interruption of the use and enjoyment of the Venue as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if agreed to by Client and Legends,
Legends shall take appropriate steps, at Client’s expense, with respect to any such problem, condition, or occurrence to (i) comply
with, or cure or prevent the violation of, any applicable Laws and (ii) avoid or minimize any actual or potential injury to persons or
damage to the Venue or other property.
6.
Records; Annual Report; Audits; Annual Plan; Monthly Reports.
6.1
Records.
Legends
shall keep full and accurate accounting records relating to its activities at the Venue in accordance with GAAP. Legends shall maintain
a system of bookkeeping adequate for its operations hereunder. Legends shall give Client’s authorized representatives access to
such books and records maintained at the Venue during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. Legends shall keep
and preserve for at least three (3) years following each Fiscal Year all sales slips, rental agreements, purchase orders, sales books,
credit card invoices, bank books or duplicate deposit slips, and other evidence of Operating Revenues and Operating Expenses for each
such Fiscal Year.

a nationally recognized, independent certified public accountant (the “Annual Report”). The Annual Report shall
contain an opinion expressed by the independent auditor of the accuracy of financial records kept by Legends and of amounts due to Client
and Legends. The Annual Report shall also provide a certification of Operating Revenues and Operating Expenses for such Fiscal Year.
The Annual Report shall be conducted by a reputable firm selected by Legends and approved by Client. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the costs of the Annual Report shall be Operating Expenses.
6.3
Audits.
Client
shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, to cause nationally recognized independent auditors to audit all of the books
of Legends relating to Operating Revenues and Operating Expenses, including, without limitation, cash register tapes, credit card invoices,
duplicate deposit tapes, and invoices. No costs incurred by Client in conducting such audit shall be considered Operating Expenses. If
any such audit demonstrates that the Operating Revenues or Operating Expenses reflected in an Annual Report are understated (in the case
of Operating Expenses) or overstated (in the case of Operating Revenues), in either case by more than five percent (5%), Legends shall
reimburse Client for the reasonable and actual costs incurred to perform such audit. If any such audit demonstrates that the Operating
Revenues, Operating Expenses, or any other amounts as reflected in an Annual Report are understated or overstated by any amount, then
Legends will perform a reconciliation of all amounts paid by and to each Party for such Fiscal Year in connection with this Agreement,
and promptly thereafter the applicable Party will pay to or refund, as the case may be, to the other Party all amounts then due and payable
to such Party based on the reconciliation (with all outstanding amounts being offset such that only one Party will make one balancing
payment to the other Party). Client’s right to have such an audit made with respect to any Fiscal Year and Legends’s obligation
to retain the above records shall expire three (3) years after Legends’s statement for such Fiscal Year has been delivered to Client.
17
6.4
Annual Plan.
Legends
shall provide to Client on or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the last day of each Fiscal Year, an annual
management plan, which shall include the Proposed Budget described in Section 5.3 for the next Fiscal Year (the “Annual
Plan”). The Annual Plan shall include information regarding Legends’s anticipated operations for such Fiscal Year,
including planned operating maintenance activities by Legends, requested Capital Improvements and Capital Equipment purchases and an
anticipated budget therefor, anticipated events at the Venue, anticipated advertising and promotional activities, and planned equipment
and furnishings purchases. The Annual Plan shall be subject to review, revision and approval by Client. Following review and revision
by Client, Legends shall have sixty (60) days to incorporate Client’s revisions into a revised version of the Annual Plan. Upon
approval by Client, such Annual Plan shall constitute the operating program for Legends for the following Fiscal Year.
6.5

the Ninth (9th) day of each month, Legends shall provide a preliminary monthly financial report inclusive of the trial balance,
the balance sheet, and preliminary income; thereafter, on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month during a Fiscal Year,
Legends shall provide to Client a written monthly report setting out the Venue’ anticipated activities for the upcoming month and
reporting on the prior month’s activities and finances. Legends shall include in such report a balance sheet, income statement,
and other relevant financial reports (such as a departmental expense report and event accounting) as determined by Legends in its reasonable
business judgment.
6.6

In
addition to the Annual Plan and the monthly reports described in Section 6.5 above, Legends will prepare and deliver to

responsibilities hereunder. Legends shall have authority to hire, terminate and discipline any and all personnel working at the Venue.
(b)
Legends shall assign to the Venue a competent, full-time general manager. Prior to Legends’s appointment of such general manager,
Legends shall consult with the Client Representative with respect to the qualifications of the general manager proposed by Legends. From
time to time the general manager may provide assistance in connection with the advisory or management services provided by Legends or
any of its Affiliates at other facilities managed, owned or leased by Legends or any of its Affiliates, provided that (i) such assistance
does not affect in any material respect the responsibilities and duties of the general manager to the Venue and (ii) the portion of the
salary and benefits of the general manager allocable to the time spent in connection with providing such assistance to other facilities
managed, owned or leased by Legends or any of its Affiliates shall be reimbursed by Legends to the Operating Accounts of the Venue or
otherwise deducted from Operating Expenses incurred for such Fiscal Year and paid directly by Legends.
18
(c)
Legends employees at the Venue shall not for any purpose be considered to be employees of Client, and Legends shall be solely responsible
for their supervision and daily direction and control and for setting, and paying as an Operating Expense, their compensation (and federal
income tax withholding) and any employee benefits. All costs related to the employment of such employees shall be Operating Expenses.
7.2
Multi-Employer Pension Plans.
The
parties acknowledge that in connection with its hiring activities hereunder, Legends may be required by the applicable terms of any collective
bargaining agreements covering such employees at the Venue to make contributions to multiemployer plans (as that term is defined in Section
4001(a)(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended), on behalf of or for the benefit of such employees during
the Term, which contribution obligation may expose Legends to withdrawal liability for a share of any unfunded vested benefits under
such plans. Accordingly, Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Legends from and against any Losses in respect of any withdrawal
liability for unfunded vested benefits that Legends may have under any such multiemployer plans in connection with the hiring and firing
of such employees by Legends during the Term or upon or after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. The indemnification obligations

with Legends’s prior written consent, Client will not, for any reason, solicit for employment, or hire, any of the senior management
personnel employed by Legends at the Venue, including, without limitation, the general manager, director-level employees and department
heads. In addition to any other remedies which Legends may have, specific performance in the form of injunctive relief shall be available
for the enforcement of this Section 7.3. This Section 7.3 does not prevent Client or an Affiliate thereof
from publishing any recruitment advertisement in any local or national newspaper or other publication or on any website, or from negotiating
with any person who replies to any such advertisement or who initiates any contact with any Client or an Affiliate thereof.

any obligation or liability arising under or in connection with any lease or financing arrangement entered into by Client in connection
with the Project or the Venue, or (viii) any act or omission carried out by Legends at or pursuant to the direction or instruction of

the foregoing indemnification under clauses (i) through (viii) above shall not extend to Losses to the extent such Losses (x) arise from
any default or breach by Legends of its obligations specified herein or (y) are caused by or arise out of the negligence or willful misconduct
of Legends or its Affiliates, partners, officers, agents, contractors and subcontractors of any tier, or employees.

(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST USE, BUSINESS OR PROFITS), WHETHER BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
TORT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES HEREUNDER SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES

ownership or possessory interest in all buildings and real estate, technical and office equipment and facilities, furniture, displays,

property rights of whatsoever value held in Client’s name shall remain in the name of Client. The ownership of consumable assets
(such as office supplies and cleaning materials) purchased with Operating Revenues or Client funds shall remain with Client, but such

Client Obligations.
Client
shall repair and maintain in such order and condition as necessary to avoid any limitation on the normal operation of the Venue or any
interruption or interference with the operation of the Venue or safety issue in connection with the operation of the Venue, and in compliance
with all present and future Laws and orders, judgments, regulations, administrative or judicial determinations, even if unforeseen or
extraordinary, of every governmental or quasi-governmental authority, court or agency having jurisdiction over the Venue now or hereafter

10.
Assignment.
10.1
Assignment.
Neither
this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent
of the other party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Legends may assign all or any part of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate,
provided that such Affiliate possesses substantially the same degree of expertise and quality of personnel as originally provided under
this Agreement. For sake of clarity, the parties acknowledge that the foregoing does not preclude the assignment by Legends of its rights
to receive any fees or other amounts payable to Legends hereunder to its lender(s) as collateral security for Legends’s obligations
under any credit facilities provided to it by such lender(s), provided that such collateral assignment shall not in any event cover Legends’s
rights to manage, promote, or operate the Venue hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, a sale of any direct or indirect equity interest
in a party, including a change of control of such party by way of corporate restructuring, reorganization, divestiture, recapitalization,
merger, combination, acquisition, exchange of shares, spin-off, or sale of such party’s outstanding voting securities, shall not
be deemed an assignment of this Agreement by, or the rights and obligations of, such party hereunder, and therefore shall not require
the prior written consent of the other party for purposes of this Section 10.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, this Agreement, and all rights and obligations of Legends and Client, including Client’s obligation to pay the
fees to Legends described in Section 4, shall fully survive and be unaffected by any sale or transfer of the Venue or the
Project, or any portion thereof, and any subsequent owner shall fully assume Client’s obligations applicable to the area sold or
transferred following such sale or transfer. Any purported transfer or assignment of this Agreement in violation of this provision is
void.
10.2
Legends Transactions with Affiliates.
In
connection with its management responsibilities hereunder relating to the purchase and/or procurement of equipment, materials, supplies,
inventories, and services for the Venue, Legends shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase and/or procure from, or otherwise
transact business with, an Affiliate of Legends on commercially reasonable terms.
11.
Laws and Permits.
11.1
Permits, Licenses, Taxes and Liens.
Legends
shall use reasonable efforts to procure any permits and licenses required for the business to be conducted by it hereunder. Client shall
cooperate with Legends in applying for such permits and licenses. Legends shall deliver copies of all such permits and licenses to the
Client Representative. Legends shall pay promptly, out of the Operating Accounts, all taxes, excises, license fees and permit fees of
whatever nature arising from its operation, promotion and management of the Venue. Legends shall use reasonable efforts to prevent mechanic’s
or materialman’s or any other lien from becoming attached to the premises or improvements at the Venue, or any part or parcel thereof,
by reason of any work or labor performed or materials furnished by any mechanic or materialman, so long as the work, labor or material
was provided at Legends’s direction and Client has supplied funds for the payment of charges therefor in accordance with this Agreement.
22
11.2
Governmental Compliance.
Client
shall cause the Venue and Project to be constructed and completed in compliance with applicable Laws, and in a manner such that it can
be operated in compliance with applicable Laws. Legends, its officers, agents and employees shall comply with Laws applicable to Legends’s
management of the Venue hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to the ADA, Legends will comply with Title III of the
ADA and the provision of such auxiliary aids or alternate services as may be required by the ADA. Nothing in this Section 11.2
or elsewhere in this Agreement shall, however, require Legends to undertake any of the foregoing compliance activity, nor shall Legends
have any liability under this Agreement therefor, if (a) such activity requires any Capital Improvements or Capital Equipment purchases,
unless Client provides funds for such Capital Improvements and Capital Equipment purchases pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof,
or (b) any Pre-Existing Agreement fails to require any licensee, lessee, tenant, promoter or user of any portion of the Venue to comply,
and to be financially responsible for compliance, with Title III of the ADA in connection with any activities of such licensee, lessee,
tenant, promoter or user at the Venue. Furthermore, Legends shall have the right to require any licensee, lessee, tenant, promoter or
user of any portion of the Venue to comply, and to be financially responsible for compliance, with Title III of the ADA in connection
with any activities of such licensee, lessee, tenant, promoter or user at the Venue.
11.3
No Discrimination in Employment.
In
connection with the performance of work under this Agreement, Legends shall not refuse to hire, discharge, refuse to promote or demote,
or to discriminate in matters of compensation against, any Person otherwise qualified, solely because of race, color, religion, gender,
age, national origin, military status, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, or any other class or category
protected by relevant law.
12.
Termination.
12.1
Termination Upon Default.
In
addition to any other right or remedy expressly provided in this Agreement, including each party’s indemnity obligations as described
in Section 8.1, either party may terminate this Agreement upon a default by the other party hereunder (subject to applicable
cure periods and rights of the parties hereunder). A party shall be in default hereunder if (a) such party fails to pay or advance any
amount due or specified hereunder within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the other party, or (b) such party fails
in any material respect to perform or comply with any of the other terms, covenants, agreements or conditions hereof and such failure
continues for more than sixty (60) days after written notice thereof from the other party. In the event that a default (other than a
default in the payment of money) is not reasonably susceptible to being cured within the sixty (60) day period, the defaulting party
shall not be considered in default if it shall within such sixty (60) day period have commenced with due diligence and dispatch to cure
such default and thereafter completes with dispatch and due diligence the curing of such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that either party shall dispute, in good faith, that any act or omission on its part constitutes a default by such party under
this Agreement, such party may give the other party notice thereof, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for the dispute, and such
party may thereafter withhold payment or take (or not take) action with respect to the amount or other matter in dispute, and such party
shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement by reason thereof unless and until such dispute is conclusively determined
adversely to the non-performing party (either by the mutual agreement of the parties or pursuant to the procedure described in Section
13.1) and such party does not thereafter promptly remedy its non-performance within the time periods specified in this Section
12.1.
12.2
Termination Other than Upon Default.
Legends
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Client (a) under the circumstances described
in Sections 5.2(b), 5.3(b) or 5.5 hereof, or (b) if Client fails to make Capital Improvements
or Capital Equipment purchases at the Venue to the extent that such failure, is mutually deemed by the parties to, materially interfere
with, impede or impair the ability of Legends to manage, operate or promote the Venue effectively.
23
12.3
Effect of Expiration or Termination; Survival.
In
the event this Agreement expires or is terminated, (a) all Operating Expenses incurred or committed for prior to the date of expiration
or termination, and expenses arising as a result of such expiration or termination, shall be paid using funds on deposit in the Operating
Accounts and to the extent such funds are not sufficient, Client shall pay all such Operating Expenses and shall indemnify and hold Legends
harmless therefrom, (b) Client shall promptly pay Legends all fees earned to the date of expiration or termination (with any such fees
being subject to proration as applicable), and (c) without any further action on the part of Legends or Client, Client shall, or shall
cause another management company retained by it to, accept the assignment of Legends’s rights, and assume and perform all of Legends’s
obligations, arising after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, under any licenses, occupancy agreements, rental
agreements, booking commitments, advertising agreements, concession agreements, and any other contracts relating to the Venue which have
been executed by Legends hereunder, provided that for any such license, agreement, commitment or contract to which the consent of the
other party thereto is required for such assignment and assumption and is not obtained, Legends will use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain such consent and Client will reasonably cooperate with Legends to obtain such consent. Upon the expiration or termination of
this Agreement all further obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate except that the provisions of this Agreement (including
payment provisions) that by their terms or nature are intended to survive expiration or termination will survive such expiration or termination.
12.4
Surrender of Venue.
Upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Legends shall surrender and vacate the Venue on or prior to the effective date
of such expiration or termination. The Venue and all equipment and furnishings shall be returned to Client in good repair, reasonable
wear and tear excepted, to the extent funds were made available therefor by Client. All reports, records, including financial records,
and documents maintained by Legends at the Venue relating to this Agreement other than materials containing Legends’s proprietary
information shall be promptly surrendered to Client by Legends upon such expiration or termination.
13.
Miscellaneous.
13.1
Cooperation/Mediation.
Any
dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by the parties in accordance with the procedures set forth
on Exhibit B attached hereto.
13.2
No Partnership or Joint Venture.
Nothing
herein contained is intended or shall be construed in any way to create or establish the relationship of partners or a joint venture
between Client and Legends. None of the officers, agents or employees of Legends shall be or be deemed to be employees of Client for
any purpose whatsoever.
13.3
Limitation on Fiduciary Duties.
TO
THE EXTENT ANY FIDUCIARY DUTIES THAT MAY EXIST AS A RESULT OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES ARE INCONSISTENT WITH, OR WOULD HAVE THE
EFFECT OF EXPANDING, MODIFYING, LIMITING OR RESTRICTING ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, (A) THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
CONTROL, (B) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF CONTRACT INTERPRETATION WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF AGENCY, AND (C) ANY LIABILITY OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE BASED SOLELY ON PRINCIPLES OF CONTRACT LAW AND THE EXPRESS
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT FOR THE PURPOSES OF DETERMINING THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF LEGENDS’S
FIDUCIARY DUTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, ARE INTENDED TO
SATISFY ALL FIDUCIARY DUTIES THAT MAY EXIST AS A RESULT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES, INCLUDING ALL DUTIES OF LOYALTY, GOOD
FAITH, FAIR DEALING AND FULL DISCLOSURE, AND ANY OTHER DUTY DEEMED TO EXIST UNDER THE COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF AGENCY OR OTHERWISE (OTHER
THAN THE DUTY OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING IMPLIED UNDER GENERAL CONTRACT PRINCIPLES, INDEPENDENT OF THE COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF AGENCY).
ACCORDINGLY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND DISCLAIM
ANY FIDUCIARY OR OTHER SIMILAR COMMON LAW RIGHTS THAT ARE NOT EXPRESSLY IDENTIFIED, DESCRIBED AND SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND THUS
UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND DISCLAIM ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER OR OBTAIN ANY MONETARY, EQUITABLE OR OTHER RELIEF OR REMEDIES
FOR ANY ALLEGED BREACH OR VIOLATION OF ANY ALLEGED FIDUCIARY OR OTHER SIMILAR COMMON LAW RIGHT OR OBLIGATIONS. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT ITS CONSENT TO THE TRANSACTIONS AND CONDUCT BY LEGENDS DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS WAIVER OF ANY FIDUCIARY OR OTHER
SIMILAR COMMON LAW RIGHTS OTHERWISE OWED BY LEGENDS: (I) HAS BEEN OBTAINED BY LEGENDS IN GOOD FAITH; (II) IS MADE KNOWINGLY BY THE CLIENT
BASED ON ITS ADEQUATE INFORMED JUDGMENT AS A SOPHISTICATED PARTY AFTER SEEKING THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT AND INFORMED COUNSEL; AND (III)
ARISES FROM CLIENT’S KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE SPECIFIC TRANSACTIONS AND ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF OPERATORS THAT ARE NORMAL,
CUSTOMARY, AND REASONABLY EXPECTED IN THE FACILITY MANAGEMENT INDUSTRY.
24
13.4
Entire Agreement.
This
Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings with respect thereto. No other agreements, representations, warranties or other matters, whether oral or written,
will be deemed to bind the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
13.5
Written Amendments.
This
Agreement shall not be altered, modified or amended in whole or in part, except in a writing executed by each of the parties hereto.
13.6
Force Majeure.
(a)
No party will be liable or responsible to the other party for any delay, damage, loss, failure, or inability to perform caused by Force
Majeure. The non-performing party shall use good faith efforts to provide notice to the other party within ten (10) days of date on which
such party gains actual knowledge of the event of Force Majeure that such party is unable to perform. The term “Force Majeure”
means the following: an act of God, strike, war, public rioting, lightning, fire, storm, flood, explosions, inability to obtain materials,
supplies, epidemics, pandemics, landslides, earthquakes, floods, storms, washouts, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage or accident
to machinery or lines of equipment, temporary failure of equipment, freezing of equipment, terrorist acts, and any other cause whether
of the kinds specifically enumerated above or otherwise which is not reasonably within the control of the party whose performance is
to be excused and which by the exercise of due diligence could not be reasonably prevented or overcome (it being acknowledged that under
no circumstances shall a failure to pay amounts due and payable hereunder be excusable due to a Force Majeure).
(b)
Neither party hereto shall be under any obligation to supply any service or services if and to the extent and during any period that
the supplying of any such service or services or the provision of any component necessary therefor shall be prohibited or rationed by
any Law.
(c)
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no abatement, diminution or reduction of the payments payable to Legends shall
be claimed by Client or charged against Legends, nor shall Legends be entitled to additional payments beyond those provided for in this
Agreement for any inconvenience, interruption, cessation, or loss of business or other loss caused, directly or indirectly, by any present
or future Laws, or by priorities, rationing, or curtailment of labor or materials, or by war or any matter or thing.
(d)
If any damage to or destruction of the Venue by reason of fire, storm or other casualty or occurrence of any nature or any regulatory
action or requirement (a “Casualty”) is expected to render the Venue materially untenantable or otherwise unusable
for the hosting of events for a period of at least six (6) months from the happening of the Casualty, then either party may terminate
this Agreement upon written notice to the other. If this Agreement is not terminated following the occurrence of such Casualty, then
the economic terms included in this Agreement (including in Section 4) shall be equitably adjusted to mitigate any adverse
economic impact on Legends attributable to such Casualty.
25
(e)
Legends may suspend performance required under this Agreement, without any further liability, in the event of any act of God or other
occurrence, which act or occurrence is of such effect and duration as to effectively curtail the use of the Venue so as to effect a substantial
reduction in the need for the services provided by Legends for a period in excess of ninety (90) days; provided, however, that for the
purposes of this Section 13.6(e), Legends shall have the right to suspend performance retroactively effective as of the
date of the use of the Venue was effectively curtailed. “Substantial reduction in the need for these services provided by Legends”
shall mean such a reduction as shall make the provision of any services by Legends economically impractical. No payments of any fees
due to Legends under this Agreement shall be made by Client during the period of suspension. In lieu thereof, Client and Legends may
agree to a reduced management fee payment for the period of reduction in services required.
13.7
Binding Upon Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
(a)
This Agreement and the rights and obligations set forth herein shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto
and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(b)
This Agreement shall not be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns,
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the provisions herein contained, this Agreement
and all provisions and conditions hereof being intended to be, and being, for the sole and exclusive benefit of such parties and their
successors and permitted assigns and for the benefit of no other Person.
13.8

Any
notice, consent or other communication given pursuant to this Agreement will be in writing and will be effective either (a) when delivered
personally to the party for whom intended, (b) on the second (2nd) business day following mailing by an overnight courier
service that is generally recognized as reliable, (c) on the fifth (5th) day following mailing by certified or registered

B
COOPERATION/MEDIATION
A. The parties desire
to cooperate with each other in the management and operation of the Venue pursuant to the terms hereof. In keeping with this cooperative
spirit and intent, any dispute arising hereunder will first be referred to the parties’ respective agents or representatives prior
to either party initiating a legal suit, who will endeavor in good faith to resolve any such disputes within the limits of their authority
and within forty-five (45) days after the commencement of such discussions. If and only if any dispute remains unresolved after the parties
have followed the dispute resolution procedure set forth above, the matter will be resolved pursuant to paragraphs (B) and (C) below.
If a party refuses to abide by the dispute resolution procedure set forth above within forty-five (45) days after attempting to initiate
such conversations, the other party may deem this requirement satisfied.
B. If any dispute
between the parties has not been resolved pursuant to paragraph (A) above, the parties will endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation
under the then current American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) model procedure for mediation of business disputes
or, if such model procedure no longer exists, some other mutually agreeable procedure. Within ten (10) business days from the date that
the parties cease direct negotiations pursuant to paragraph (A) above, Client shall provide Legends with a list of three (3) individuals
then listed on AAA’s U.S. Regional Panel of Distinguished Neutrals for the locale in which the Venue are located (or if no such
list exists, then for the locale closest to where the Venue are located), who are available during the time period contained in paragraph
(E) below and who have no unwaived conflict of interest with respect to either party, and Legends shall (within ten (10) business days
after receipt of such list) select one (1) of the individuals from such list. Each party will bear its own cost of mediation; provided,
however, the cost charged by any independent third-party mediator will be borne equally by the parties. In the mediation, each party
may be represented by their own counsel.
C. The parties agree
that any mediation proceeding (as well as any discussion pursuant to paragraph (A) above) will constitute settlement negotiations for
purposes of the federal and state rules of evidence and will be treated as non-discoverable, confidential and privileged communication
by the parties and the mediator. No stenographic, visual or audio record will be made of any mediation proceedings or such discussions.
All conduct, statements, promises, offers and opinions made in the course of the mediation or such discussion by any party, its agents,
employees, representatives or other invitees and by the mediator will not be discoverable nor admissible for any purposes in any litigation
or other proceeding involving the parties and will not be disclosed to any third party.
D. The parties agree
that this mediation procedure will be obligatory and participation therein legally binding upon each of them. In the event that either
party refuses to adhere to the mediation procedure set forth in this Exhibit “B” the other party may bring an action to seek
enforcement of such obligation in any court of competent jurisdiction.
E. The parties’
efforts to reach a settlement of any dispute will continue until the conclusion of the mediation proceeding. The mediation proceeding
will be concluded when: (i) a written settlement agreement is executed by the parties, (ii) the mediator concludes and informs the parties
in writing that further efforts to mediate the dispute would not be useful, or (iii) the parties agree in writing that an impasse has
been reached. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may withdraw from the mediation proceeding without liability therefor in the
event such proceeding continues for more than forty-five (45) days from the commencement of such proceeding. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the proceeding will be deemed to have commenced following the completion of the selection of a mediator as provided in paragraph
(B).
B-1
F. If any dispute
has not been resolved pursuant to the foregoing, either party may file suit in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce its rights
hereunder.
G. The procedure specified
in this Exhibit B shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution
of disputes between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a party, without prejudice to the
above procedures, may file a complaint to seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional judicial relief, if in its sole discretion
such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo (“Equitable Litigation”).
Despite such action, the parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Exhibit
B.
H. Any interim or
appellate relief granted in such Equitable Litigation shall remain in effect until the alternative dispute resolution procedures described
in this Exhibit B concerning the dispute that is the subject of such Equitable
Litigation result in a settlement agreement. Such written settlement agreement shall be the final, binding determination on the merits
of such dispute, shall supersede and nullify any decision in the Equitable Litigation, and shall preclude any subsequent litigation on
such merits, notwithstanding any determination to the contrary in connection with any Equitable Litigation granting or denying interim
relief or any appeal therefrom.
I. All applicable
statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this Exhibit
B are pending. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling. Each party shall be required
to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
unless doing so would be impossible or impracticable under the circumstances.
