encumbrances or claims arising through Sponsor's custody of the Mobile Stage, as a result of
any obligation of Sponsor, or related to the Event.
2. No Rental Charge. Although City shall not charge Sponsor any rent for the use of
the Mobile Stage in accordance with this Agreement, Sponsor's representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnification obligations under this Agreement are a material inducement and
condition precedent to City's agreement to allow Sponsor to use the Mobile Stage.
3. Delivery and Movement. City shall arrange for the delivery of the Mobile Stage on
or prior to the beginning of the Term to the location of the Event as specified by Sponsor (the
"Site") and for the removal of the Mobile Stage following the Term. Sponsor shall not move the

City's prior written consent. Sponsor represents and warrants to City as follows:

(B) The Site is level and flat with sufficient drainage to prevent retention of water that
might cause damage to the Mobile Stage.
(C) The Site is free from overhanging branches and other obstacles that might impede
delivery of the Mobile Stage or result in damage to the Mobile Stage.
(D) The Mobile Stage will be in a location that allows clear and unobstructed access
to the Site for purposes of delivery and set-up as well as use of the Mobile Stage.
4. Security. Sponsor shall provide such security during the Term as is reasonably
necessary to protect the Mobile Stage and prevent any vandalism or other damage to occur to the
Mobile Stage.
5. Care and Maintenance. Unless Sponsor notifies City otherwise in writing within 24
hours after the commencement of the Term, Sponsor acknowledges that, based upon its
inspection of the Mobile Stage upon delivery, the Mobile Stage is in good condition and is not
defective or damaged. Sponsor agrees to the following:
(A) Sponsor shall maintain the Mobile Stage in good repair and keep the Mobile
Stage reasonably free from the accumulation of waste materials or rubbish from
the Event. Following the Term, Sponsor shall return the Mobile Stage to City in
the condition in which it was delivered, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
(B) Sponsor shall not make any additions or alterations to the Mobile Stage, or affix
anything thereof, either temporarily or permanently, by nail, tack, tape, or
otherwise, without City's prior written consent.
(C) Sponsor shall pay the cost of any repairs to the Mobile Stage (determined in the
reasonable judgment of City) due to undue wear or damage to the Mobile Stage
from accident, misuse, abuse, unauthorized attachment, addition or alteration, or
negligence, and the cost of any cleaning, servicing, repairs and replacements
necessary to restore the Mobile Stage to its original condition upon delivery to the
Site, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
(D) Sponsor shall not deface or damage any decorations or other markings that are
present on the Mobile Stage at the time of its delivery to the Site or allow any
other person to do so, and shall, immediately following the Event, remove from
the Mobile Stage any and all decorations affixed thereto by Sponsor or others
during the Term, as well as any and all tape (and tape residue) or other fastening
devices affixed thereto by Sponsor or others during the Term.

inside the Mobile Stage.
(F) Sponsor shall not permit the possession or use of firearms, weapons, fireworks or
explosives of any kind on or inside the Mobile Stage.
(G) Sponsor shall comply with all laws, ordinances, executive or regulatory orders,
rules and regulations applicable to the Event or to the use of the Mobile Stage.

(H) If the Mobile Stage becomes unsafe to use during the Term, Sponsor shall
promptly notify City and immediately cease using the Mobile Stage until the
unsafe condition is remedied. Sponsor shall take all necessary and reasonable
precautions for the safety of persons and property using or in the immediate area
of the Mobile Stage before, during and after the Event or while the Mobile State is
otherwise in Sponsor's custody and control.
6. Immediate Termination. If Sponsor fails to observe and perform each and every
term, provision, covenant and condition to be observed and performed by Sponsor under
this Agreement diligently, fully and promptly, such failure shall constitute a breach of this
Agreement and permit City to terminate this Agreement immediately without notice or
right to cure, even if such termination or cancellation occurs just prior to or during the
Event, and repossess the Mobile Stage immediately following such termination
notwithstanding the effect of such termination and repossession on Sponsor or the Event.
7. Release and Indemnity. Sponsor accepts the Mobile Stage "as is" without
warranties of any kind from City. Sponsor hereby releases and agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless City, the City of Carmel, Indiana, and their respective directors, officials, officers,

provisions of this Agreement which can operate independently of the stricken provision shall
continue in full force and effect.

Sponsor of Sponsor's breach or violation of any provision shall not operate as a waiver by City

provisions of this Agreement and shall not operate to foreclose City from terminating this
Agreement due to the breach or violation in the future.
