WHEREAS, the individual listed on Schedule 1 as Licensor Contact Person shall act as the principal contact person for Licensor, with the authority to expand Program Hours in accordance with the terms hereof; and

 

                     WHEREAS, the Licensor has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to grant to Licensee and its employees, agents, and invitees, a revocable, non-exclusive license to enter and use the Licensed Area for the Program during the Program Hours (the “License”); and

 

WHEREAS, on June 22, 2026, the Mayor and Council of the Municipality of Princeton (the “Governing Body”) approved Resolution No. ___ to authorize the execution of this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Licensor and the Licensee desire to enter into this Agreement to memorialize the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to the use of the Licensed Area for the Program.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and provisions set forth below, the Licensor and the Licensee do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                     Recitals Incorporated. The above recitals are incorporated into this section of this Agreement as if fully set forth at length herein.

 

2.                     Grant of License. Subject to the provisions, covenants and agreements contained herein, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and the Licensee hereby accepts from the Licensor, the License.

 

3.                     Term. Upon its execution, this Agreement shall commence on August 3, 2026 and terminate on August 28, 2026, unless otherwise terminated sooner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Term”).

 

4.                     Use. The Licensee shall use the Licensed Area only and for no other purpose than the Program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Licensee shall not occupy or use the Licensed Area or the Property or any part thereof, nor permit or suffer the same to be occupied or used for any purposes other than as expressly set forth herein or for any purpose deemed unlawful, disreputable, or extra hazardous, on account of fire or other casualty. The Licensee shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by the Licensor relating to the Licensee’s use of the Property, including those set forth in the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit A, which may be amended from time to time by the Licensor.

 

5.                     Fee. In consideration of the Licensor executing this Agreement, the Licensee shall pay to the Licensor a license fee as set forth in Schedule 1 (the “Fee”). The Fee is payable in advance of the commencement of the Term to the Licensor at the payment address set forth in Schedule 1 (the “Payment Address”), which payment address, from time to time, may be changed by the Licensor by providing the Licensee with written notice of the new payment address.

 

6.                     Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Agreement, Licensee shall pay to the Licensor at the Payment Address a deposit in the amount specified in Schedule 1 (the “Deposit”). The Deposit delivered by the Licensee to the Licensor will be held by the Licensor, in a non-interest-bearing account, as security for the performance of Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement. The Deposit will not be an advance payment of any amount to be paid by Licensee to the Licensor, or a measure of Licensee’s liability for damages. The Licensor may, from time to time, while an event of default remains uncured, without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a portion of the Deposit to satisfy past due amounts, or repay the Licensor for damages and charges for which Licensee is liable under this Agreement or resulting from Licensee’s breach of this Agreement. If the Licensor uses the Deposit as permitted by this Agreement, Licensee will immediately upon demand by the Licensor restore the Deposit to its original amount, and failure to do so will constitute a breach of this Agreement. Such use by the Licensor of the Deposit will not constitute a cure of the existing breach until such time as the entire amount owing to the Licensor is paid in full and the Deposit is fully restored. Provided that Licensee has performed all of its obligations under this Agreement, the Licensor will, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, return any unapplied portion of the Deposit to Licensee within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Term.
