Subject to the foregoing criteria, Force Majeure may include events such as war, civil insurrection, riot, fires, epidemics, pandemics, terrorism, sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions, quarantine restrictions, transportation accidents, strikes, strong hurricanes or tornadoes, earthquakes, or other acts of God which prevent performance.

The party shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations are not affected or are only partially affected by the Force Majeure event, and to correct or cure the event or condition excusing performance and otherwise to remedy its inability to perform to the extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure event with all reasonable dispatch. (D) Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence of a Force Majeure event causing the suspension of performance shall not be excused as a result of such occurrence unless such occurrence makes such performance not reasonably possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for obligations and liabilities which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject to the Force Majeure provisions. Page 6 (E) In no event will any condition of Force Majeure extend this Agreement beyond its stated term. If any condition of Force Majeure delays a party's performance for a time period greater than thirty (30) days, the party not delayed by such Force Majeure may terminate this Agreement, without further obligation, except with respect to provisions which are intended to survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement. (F) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, in the event of a Force Majeure occurrence, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager, suspend City's payment obligations under the Agreement, and may take such action without regard to the notice requirements herein. 18.

Page 13 EXHIBIT 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION OF NEED The LGBT Community is one of the largest minority groups resident to Miami-Dade County. With an estimated local spend of over$8 billion (source: Witeck Combs/Harris Interactive), the City of Miami Beach has long recognized the importance of this market. Tourism is a major economic driver on the beach and, LGBT travelers long ago found Miami Beach to its liking. However, with an ever-growing list of competitors in the market, we need to work better and harder to retain and grow this important market. The Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce ("MDGLCC") has included in its Mission Statement the importance of tourism to its membership and, the local economy. With approximately 30 percent of its membership in the hospitality market on the beach, it is vitally important that the needs of business (and the City) are addressed in our business plan. Key to distinguishing ourselves from other competitors in this market are: • The Pink Flamingo Hospitality Certification Program (based on market availability and program re-development). • Hospitality Council - A monthly meeting of chamber hospitality members (virtual or in-person), city officials, industry partners and, LGBT organizations which hold events in the City of Miami Beach to discuss ways to retain and attract LGBT Tourism; discuss City initiatives and create tracking mechanisms to support VCA grant requirements. • Hospitality Council Newsletter - a monthly news and analytics communication for the industry highlighting accommodations, leadership, trends and, meeting information. • LGBT Visitor Center - a resource for locals and visitors providing information, safe space and activities. We are the only organization in Miami-Dade providing these (and more) resources dedicated towards this market. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Our 2022 initiative will include the re-evaluation and update of our unique Pink Flamingo Hospitality Training Program,our monthly Hospitality Council Meetings and Newsletter,the operation of our LGBT Visitor Center and, LGBT Organizational support for events which may take place in the City of Miami Beach (White Party, Winter Party, Miami Beach Pride, Sizzle Miami Beach among others).
